Childhood Poverty at "Obscene Levels"
Charles Blow's NYTimes column today deals with childhood poverty, a topic that has been the subject of scores of posts on this blog. Drawing statistics and quotes from "Ending Child Poverty Now", a recently released report from the Childhood Defense Fund, Blow calls on us to reduce the "obscene level of childhood poverty". He writes:
People may disagree about the choices parents make — including premarital sex and out-of-wedlock births. People may disagree about access to methods of family planning — including contraception and abortion. People may disagree about the size and role of government — including the role of safety-net programs.
But surely we can all agree that no child, once born, should suffer through poverty. Surely we can all agree that working to end child poverty — or at least severely reduce it — is a moral obligation of a civilized society.
And yet, 14.7 million children in this country are poor, and 6.5 million of them are extremely poor (living below half the poverty line).
He quotes extensively from the report, which notes that children born in poverty in the US are more disadvantaged than those born in other developed countries in the world: "Among (the 35 OECD) countries, America ranks 34th in relative child poverty — ahead only of Romania, whose economy is 99 percent smaller than ours."
Citing statistics that demonstrate how poverty is intergenerational and the long term costs associated with the corrosive effects of poverty, the report recommends that our government invest $77 billion per year to end childhood poverty. While that is an eye-popping amount, the report notes that it pales in comparison to what we are spending now:
"Every year we keep 14.7 million children in poverty costs our nation $500 billion — six times more than the $77 billion investment we propose to reduce child poverty by 60 percent."
The report offers several ideas on how that money could be raised, including the obvious solutions of raising taxes on the highest wage earners and spending less on the military. But as I implied in the comment I left, these ideas are likely non-starters:
As you note in your column, this is not a new problem. Unfortunately "A Nation At Risk" that blamed economic problems on public schools captured the public's attention far more than the 1994 CDF report "Wasting America's Future" and the current toxic testing regimen is the result. You could get over $1.7 billion from the state coffers by eliminating standardized tests that are used now to tell us what we already know: children raised in poverty do worse on standardized tests than children raised in affluence. And here's what is especially maddening: instead of using those results to demonstrate the need to invest more in children who are raised in poverty we are using those results to close neighborhood schools and replace them in many cases with for-profit charters that are not markedly improving the opportunities for children raised in poverty but ARE increasing the money shareholders receive.
I doubt that the 2014 CDF Report will get any more traction than the 1994 report, but appreciate Charles Blow's effort to bring the report to the full attention of the public. MAYBE repeating the report's central message will help people of conscience to think twice before they support cuts to programs that help children. That central message is:
"America's poor children did not ask to be born; did not choose their parents, country, state, neighborhood, race, color, or faith."
Kansas: Funding For Shareholders and Fundamentalists?
Earlier this week, the US edition of The Guardian posted an article by Sarah Smarsh on the state of public education in Kansas. As reported in earlier blog posts, KS finds itself in a funding crisis because their Governor has lowered taxes to entice the expansion of business and recently lost a Supreme Court case filed by a parent who felt that KS was not sufficiently funding its schools and that lack of funding resulted unconstitutional inequities. The Guardian suggests that the Governor or the legislature, which is sympathetic to his cause, might offer a solution that would not only please the court, but would also please privatization advocates like the Koch bothers who live in KS and the large number of fundamental Christians: vouchers. If the legislature closed public schools and offered vouchers to parents that could be used in any school at all, fundamentalists could open private academies to address their concerns about the secular humanism rampant in public education and the Koch brothers' kindred spirits could open for profit charters and taxpayers wouldn't have to pay any more money at all. It would be a win-win-win for the taxpayers, the fundamentalists, and the profiteers… but it would be dreadful for the very students whose parent filed the lawsuit because it would end public education as we know it today.
Smarsh notes parallels between Brown v Board of Education in 1954 and this case today, one of which was that the plaintiffs in both cases were pastors of churches. She writes:
It was a good legal strategy that a longtime Christian clergyman became the namesake for Gannon v Kansas (the lawsuit seeking funding equity), a lawsuit bent on increasing funding for a secular institution. Similarly, in Brown v Board some 60 years ago, Topeka dad Oliver Brown took the title spot for being a respected pastor. The two cases contain plenty more parallels, and if there was a poor people's movement to match the civil rights movement of the mid-20th century today, people would be marching in the streets – not to desegregate schools but to keep them open.
Unfortunately for those of us who want to see a strong and vibrant public education system, the poor people whose children are being shortchanged cannot see how the system is working against them and taking tax revenues to either promote religion or increase profits. The war against the poor is subtler than racism but every bit as pernicious… and seemingly as intractable.
Inclusive Capitalism and Public Schools
Thomas Edsall's op ed column today, "Can Capitalists Save Capitalism", describes "inclusive capitalism", an emerging economic theory Democrats are purportedly embracing in response to their defeat in the mid-terms. The basic premise of this economic theory is the same as Henry Ford espoused when he decided to pay his employees a large enough wage for them to buy his product: the Model T Ford. After reading the article, I left the following comment:
President Obama and all elected officials who advocate "inclusive capitalism" have the opportunity to put it into place by treating public employees differently than employees are being treated in the private sector. If the Democrats want to embrace inclusive capitalism they could do so by denouncing the de-regulation and privatization of public schools, which "broadly undermines the wages and working conditions" of those working in schools. The replacement of career-minded unionized employees with at-will teaching staff and contracted services in lieu of ancillary staff results in more job insecurity, lower wages, and, consequently, a hollowing of the middle class. The privatizers of public education"…function much less effectively as providers of large-scale opportunity" because "…their dominant focus has been on maximization of share prices and the compensation of their top employees." Privatization of public services is a rejection of inclusive capitalism and an embrace of the winner-take-all mentality that the "winners" want to see kept in place.
The "reformers" want to run schools like a business… but the way businesses operate is to limit the number of wages, hours, and/or number of employees… and that, in turn, hollows out the number of employees who earn middle class wages. Maybe instead of schools running like businesses, businesses might want to run like schools.
Spending Priorities Askew
The title of David Brooks' column in today's NYTimes got my attention: "Support Our Students". Unfortunately, Brooks was writing about the wrong set of students. Instead of writing about the support children raised in poverty require Brooks used his column to criticize President Obama's proposal to provide free community college to all students. From my perspective both Brooks and the president miss the mark, as my comment indicates:
You could solve a lot of these problems by investing more in public schools. Providing "living expenses" for community college students while cutting SNAP makes no sense. Providing funds for more counselors at the community college while retaining unacceptably high student-to-counselor ratios at high schools makes no sense. Providing funds for remedial education in community college while spending billions on bubble tests makes no sense. Providing child care costs for community college students while cutting back on "welfare" for parents of school-aged children makes no sense. What DOES make sense is providing more money to "strengthen the structures" around Pre-K through grade 12. Unfortunately the people who would benefit most from this spending– the children in those grade levels– are not eligible to vote. Even more unfortunate is the fact that their parents are not major campaign contributors so their voices are not heard.
One more point that neither Brooks or the President are making: the impact of student loans. Because student loans can be used to defray living expenses, many college aged youngsters use the loans to cover their non-tuition costs and if they fail to graduate find themselves struggling to pay off those loans. Reforming the student loan industry should be a part of any legislation that expands the enrollments in community colleges.
Selma, Brown, and Plessy
In the past week I've read several articles about the sad state of segregation in American public schools, in response to the recently released movie Selma and in anticipation of the forthcoming MLK Holiday. I wrote comments to two of those articles drawing on my recent viewing of Selma, responses that would likely apply to any articles on the topic of resegregation.
Salon featured an article by Alternet blogger Christopher Bonastia titled "The Ugly Segregationist History of the Charter School Movement" that described the means segregationists in the South intended to side-step the Brown case by closing all their public schools, selling them, and re-opening private schools in their place. It also described how politicians might limit the number of blacks in their schools by setting high academic standards and "hazing" children of color who attended. Bonastia did not draw direct parallels to specific practices of some charter schools… but he didn't need to for Salon readers who are presumedly aware of the actions of privatizers who effectively exclude children of economically disadvantaged parents. In my comment I noted that unfortunately, as Congress looks to reauthorize ESEA I see no evidence that anyone in Washington is interested in addressing this. Instead they want to implement more tests to "prove" that schools are failing so that more for-profit charters can be opened in their place all the while ignoring the fact that the test scores are correlated with parent income and education levels. And since charters use screening methods that are analogous to the voting tests shown in Selma, the children of disengaged parents who struggle to earn a living suffer.
Yesterday Diane Ravitch wrote a post expressing her dismay that several civil rights groups wanted to make certain that the reauthorization of ESEA continued the standardized testing regimen put in place by NCLB. Perplexed by this, she wrote:
After 13 years of federally mandated annual testing, how could anyone still believe that testing will improve instruction and close achievement gaps? Tests measure achievement gaps, they don't close them.
Predictably, many of her commenters noted that Bill Gates and other billionaires helped underwrite these civil rights groups and concluded that they had been "bought and sold" as a result. Some of the commenters, though, had more nuanced responses. My own response to the post was used Selma as a context:
Having recently viewed Selma, I reflected that sixty have passed since Brown v Board of Education, the same number of years that passed between Plessy v Ferguson and Brown… and sixty years after Brown we have the worst of all worlds: schools that are separate and unequal and de facto segregation that is worse than existed in 1954. I empathize with the African Americans who want to make sure their children are held to the same standards as everyone else's children because there is no evidence that anyone in Washington or all but 5 state capitols is interested in ensuring equitable schooling for ALL children.
Fixing the continued segregation of schools will require changes in district boundaries and/or residential patterns. More importantly, it will require a change of thinking on the part of many Americans: a willingness to accept African Americans as classmates and neighbors no matter what their economic standing or background. Changing minds and hearts is even more difficult than passing legislation.
Restore School Jobs Before Building Keystone XL
Paul Krugman's column in todays NYTimes decries the love affair we have with carbon and the resulting focus on the completion of Keystone XL. The recently elected Republican majority in the House and Senate are moving quickly to pass a bill that would require the completion of this pipeline, using the idea that doing so is imperative because of the jobs it would create. Midway through his column that excoriates the obstructionism that has taken place over the past six years, Krugman acknowledges that Keystone XL will create jobs, but suggests another way that the government could also create jobs:
Yes, approving the pipeline would mobilize some money that would otherwise have sat idle, and in so doing create some jobs — 42,000 during the construction phase, according to the most widely cited estimate. (Once completed, the pipeline would employ only a few dozen workers.) But government spending on roads, bridges and schools would do the same thing.
While I was glad to see "schools" included in the list, I felt a need to emphasize the jobs lost as well as the infrastructure needs of schools and so left this comment:
In analyzing jobs lost and "infrastructure" needs, do not overlook all of the cuts public schools were forced to make when state and local budgets were cut as a result of the bubble breaking. Public schools across this country have millions of dollars of deferred maintenance projects and thousands of jobs that need to be refilled. We need to rebuild our roads and bridges… but we need to rebuild our schools and restore our workforce in education as well… and doing that would create FAR more value and FAR more jobs than Keystone XL.
I hope that some members of the minority party will take up this issue in the coming months. If we want to help middle class Americans we should be helping those who work in public schools for they are the core of the middle class.
Fixing Schools in Buffalo
Today's NYTimes editorial decries the condition of Buffalo's school system. It enumerates several problems including fiscal mismanagement, civil rights violations, onerous union contracts, and failure to provide state mandated action plans to improve "failing" schools. The editorial recommends the following fix in it's concluding paragraph:
The Cuomo administration alluded to the chronic problems in the Buffalo schools last month when it asked the Board of Regents what should be done about their "deplorable conditions." Support appears to be growing for laws giving the state more authority to force policy changes on failing districts and to even appoint receivers to run day-to-day operations, which may be necessary in Buffalo.
That last paragraph compelled me to offer this feedback:
I am willing to wager that Cuomo and Tisch will "rescue" the Buffalo schools by placing them in receivership, gutting the teacher's contract, looting any union pension and benefit funds, and turning the operation of schools over to for-profit charter schools. This will put an end to "mismanagement" of the schools and the "wasteful, outmoded teachers' contract" that makes it difficult to make changes to the schools. I hope that the editorial board will look at how this "solution" played out in NJ, PA, MI, WI and other states where governors replaced "failing schools" with deregulated for profit schools and "union teachers" with at will employees.
You observed that "things went downhill…when court supervision ended and Buffalo experienced severe fiscal problems." Cuomo and Tisch should:
(1) Get to the root of the "fiscal problems" and limit their oversight to the BUSINESS side of the schools
(2) Make certain that the "failing schools" are sufficiently resourced
(3) Expand the number of seats in its magnet schools
(4) Insist that the district change its magnet admissions standards by using a criteria other than standardized test scores
(5) Provide technical assistance to the Board and administration in place now an insist that they submit acceptable action plans for improvement.
(6) Make sure that Buffalo (and other economically challenged districts) is getting its fair share of state funds.
Privatization without oversight will NOT solve Buffalo's problems.
That used up all of the space allowed in the comment section… but here's the bottom line: privatization will put taxpayers money in the hands of shareholders and take it from school employees who are earning middle class wages who are replaced by at-will contract employees who are paid as little as possible. Worse, privatization will do nothing to expand the opportunities for Buffalo's students because privatization will do nothing to get at Buffalo's core problem: "the root causes" of racial disparities in enrollment and admission rates at the special admission schools. Oh… and the NYTimes mention of Buffalo's "wasteful, outmoded teachers' contract that provides unusually generous benefits and makes it difficult to manage the teaching force" is a gratuitous swipe at teachers. It has nothing to do with the problem at hand, which is the admissions process at magnet schools that results in civil rights violations.

I returned my bionic because of all the problems I had, but I thought you guys would appreciate this. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/3...c-bug-list-fix-coming-in-november/#more-47935 Nothing to do with the battery unfortunately, which was one of my biggest complaints. However they are addressing quite a few of the common complaints of this forum like the high pitched headphone whine, 4g/3g data loss, low memory errors with the lapdock, disappearing applications, etc. Hopefully when it comes out in November this helps a lot of you out.
Unfortunately those arent the actual release notes.. but a list of reported issues with a supposed timeframe for a fix.
No disappearing apps on the list. They better get that sd card issue fixed. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
Unfortunately Verizon has the final say and if they say it's normal it won't get fixed. They think the way this camera acts is normal and the way the storage is normal - good luck to us.
again, those are not actual release notes nor is that list complete. I'd bet dollars to donuts that both the SDCard issue and *some* camera functionality will be addressed in the November patch with more enhancements in the January patch.
It's the Motorola pattern when new devices are released. First patch is always under contract for 30-60 days (with extensions open for critical bugs of course) Second patch is almost always 120 days.. unless it's an OS upgrade rather than a maintenance release.

Celtics sunk by coming out party of Anthony Davis, drop fourth straight | 03.16.14 at 8:51 pm ET |
Sunday night the Celtics proved they are nothing if not entertaining in this rebuilding season.
Former No. 1 pick Anthony Davis scored a career-high 40 points to lead the New Orleans Pelicans a heart-pounding 121-120 overtime win over the Celtics in the Bayou Sunday night. Davis added 21 rebounds, the first 40-20 game in the history of the New Orleans franchise. Jared Sullinger, who helped sparked a late fourth quarter rally with a 3-pointer, missed a trey with 11 seconds remaining that would have given the Celtics the lead.
The last two minutes of regulation featured a frantic Boston rally and several wild sequences.
Kris Humphries forced the overtime when he took an inbounds pass from Rajon Rondo and drained a 20-foot turnaround jumper at the regulation buzzer. Jeff Green matched his season high with 39 points while Humphries had another double-double, scoring 16 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
Green was fouled in the act of taking a 3-pointer with 4.9 seconds remaining and made all three free throws to tie the game, 110-110 before Anthony Davis drilled a jumper that appeared to give New Orleans the win with 1.1 seconds left in regulation.
Down one, the Celtics had a chance to win the game after winning a key jump ball with under 20 seconds left but Avery Bradley dribbled the ball off his leg and out of bounds, setting the stage for the frantic final sequence.
The Celtics lost their fourth straight and fell to 22-45 on the season.
The Celtics scored 39 points in the second quarter to take a 64-57 halftime lead. Leading the way in the second quarter was Green, who hit two threes and led Boston with 12 points in the stanza.
The Celtics led 66-57 on a Brandon Bass dunk with 10:40 left in the third quarter. The Celtics were outscored 27-18 in the final 10 minutes of the quarter and went into the fourth quarter tied, 84-84.
Rajon Rondo appreciates Wyc Grousbeck sticking his neck out for him | 03.15.14 at 2:09 pm ET |
The debate over the long-term future of Rajon Rondo in Boston will seemingly continue as long as he's in a Celtics uniform. But one thing that can't be denied is Rondo's appreciation of those who have his back in turbulent times, led by the man who cuts his paycheck.
Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck told the Boston Globe this week that despite all of the rumors and speculation on the future of the tempestuous point guard, Rondo remains the leader of the franchise going forward.
What did that mean to Rondo?
"It means a lot, especially coming from the head guy," Rondo said after Friday's loss to the Suns. "With all the rumors swirling, the criticism that I was having throughout the past couple weeks, he stuck his neck out. He didn't have to say anything, but he did. I've talked to Wyc since then. Everything is what it's supposed to be."
Here is what Grousbeck told the Boston Globe in a story that reflected on the rebuilding season of 2013-14:
"[Rondo is] loved right here, from my seat on the court," the owner said. "I love the guy. I love his championship ring when he was the young kid. I love his growth. It reminds me of Paul Pierce. Growing from the moments in his younger days and making progress toward being an all-time Celtic and a leader. I am always hopeful that a guy like that is going to stay around."
Rondo will enter the final year of his contract next season, in which he will make $12.9 million.
Earlier this season, Rondo said he would be open to signing a long-term deal with the Celtics but, at the same time, indicated an interest to test free agent waters. Rondo signed a five-year, $55 million extension at the start of the 2009-10 season.
Avery Bradley returns 'rusty' and hungers for more playing time | 03.15.14 at 12:31 pm ET |
Brad Stevens made it perfectly clear before Friday's game against Phoenix that he would ease Avery Bradley back into the mix after a 13-game absence due to a sprained right ankle. Bradley actually played nearly 17 minutes, including a key stretch in the team's 12-0 spurt that gave them a short-lived lead in the fourth quarter of Friday's 87-80 loss to the Suns at TD Garden.
Bradley scored nine points on 4-of-12 shooting from the floor but admitted that he was rusty trying to get back into an offensive rhythm.
"My shot was rusty, but you still can play hard on the defensive end and that's what I try to do," Bradley said. "I try to go out there and lift our intensity and try to get the guys going, that's my role on this team.'
When Bradley was out on the floor, it marked just the seventh time this season he and Rajon Rondo, the projected starting backcourt, had been available to coach Brad Stevens.
"Hopefully we'll get to see that quite a bit in the last month here," Stevens said. "Knock on wood, because they haven't been able to play much together over the first four years they've been together. I think it's really a duo that you would think would complement each other very well based on the strengths on both ends of the court. Hopefully we'll see that again with a healthy month left in the season."
"He looked well," added Rondo. "He didn't play or practice at all in a month. So, for him to get out there, I know he missed a couple shots, but for the most part, my main concern was his lateral movements, as far as the ankle, and his defense looked great tonight.
"Our time will come. I've missed [games], he's missed [games]. Hopefully we can get it together and we'll both be out there playing and healthy."
Bradley also made note that he will be taping his ankles more often to prevent injury. Bradley said before the game that he feels not taping his ankles this season led to the unfortunate string of injuries that have sidelined him for two significant stretches this season.
After the game, he was just grateful that he made it through his first game back.
'I feel fine, Bradley said. "It's a little sore but I'm going to ice it and I'll feel fine [this weekend]. "For me, on the defensive end and cuts, that's what gets me going and I know what kind of player I am and I know it starts on the defensive end first for me.
'Of course, as a competitor you want to go out there and help your team, but at the same time I have to be smart and the coaches, [Brad Stevens] knows better than me and he knows I have to get back in the rhythm. I was a little rusty and so he has to limit my minutes and he told me that before the game but I didn't know how many minutes I was going to play and I really didn't care."
Celtics eclipsed by Suns late in return of Avery Bradley | 03.14.14 at 9:52 pm ET |
Alex Len's three-point play with 54.1 seconds left broke an 80-80 tie and lifted the Suns over the Celtics, 87-80, Friday night at TD Garden. Kris Humphries led the Celtics with 11 points and 13 rebounds. The Celtics lost their third straight and fell to 22-44 on the season.
Cold shooting from the field put the the Celtics in an early hole, falling behind by as many as 11 in the opening minutes of the second quarter. But strong rebounding, led by Kris Humphries, allowed Boston to work their way back in, cutting the halftime deficit to two, 46-44.
The Celtics again went cold from the floor in the third quarter, making just four of their 20 shots from the field. As a result, Phoenix grabbed a 61-53 lead with 3:24 left in the third. But the Celtics again showed their resiliency, cutting to the deficit to just four, 64-60 heading into the fourth.
The Celtics continued that momentum by scoring the first nine points of the fourth quarter to cap an 11-0 run and grab a 69-64 lead, matching their biggest lead of the game.
Phoenix came back with the next six points to take a 70-69 lead. The Celtics led 78-75 before the Suns scored five straight, including the go-ahead basket, a turnaround jumper by Markeiff Morris with 2:30 left, putting Phoenix up, 80-78. Jeff Green's two free throws with 2:02 left tied the game again, 80-80.
After Len's three-point play, the Celtics could not get off a shot close to the basket and the Suns put away the game with two breakaway layups.
The Celtics are off Saturday and begin a brief two-game road trip Sunday evening in New Orleans. They play in Dallas Monday night before returning home to play the Miami Heat Wednesday night at TD Garden.
Cold feet: The Celtics shot just 37.5 percent from the floor in the first half, making just 18-of-48 shots, including 2-of-12 from long range. Good defense and Phoenix sloppiness kept the Celtics in it, as Boston trailed by just two, 46-44 at the half. It didn't get much better in the third quarter as the Celtics shot just 20 percent on 4-of-20 shooting.
Gone fishing: There are games where Brandon Bass can take over and find his shots in the paint and under the glass seemingly at will. Then there's nights like Friday. He started but never got into a rhythm, scoring just eight points on 4-of-12 shooting, playing 21 minutes. Part of this was due to the fact that coach Brad Stevens elected to go with a smaller, three-guard lineup of Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley and Chris Johnson for the better parts of the second and third quarters. Throw in the continued emergence of Kelly Olynyk and guards Jerryd Bayless and Phil Pressey and there was little time left for Bass.
Green-out: Like Bass, Jeff Green can look like a world-beater one game and come out with a dud the next, like Friday. He had just nine points in 36 minutes on 2-of-14 shooting.
Bradley's back: Avery Bradley returned to game action for the first time since injuring his ankle Feb. 9 against Dallas. The team's shutdown defender came off the bench with 3:24 left in the first quarter. With 5:09 left in the third, Bradley showed his offensive skills, getting into traffic, knocking down a 10-footer and drawing the foul for a three-point play. He finished with nine points in 17 minutes.
On the rebound: The Celtics attacked the glass with authority in the first half outrebounding the Suns, 27-24. Leading the way with six in the first half was Kris Humphries, who grabbed six of his xx for the game in the opening half. Humphries finished with his seventh double-double of the season, scoring 11 points while grabbing 13 rebounds.
Balancing the scales: The only player not to get into the scoring column in the first half was Chris Babb, the undrafted rookie out of Iowa State who was signed to his second 10-day contract on Monday. Even Joel Anthony got into the mix for the first time since playing four minutes against Golden State on March 5 and scoring two points in the first half, his first points since netting four against Atlanta on Feb. 26.
Rondo passes knee test: With about seven minutes left in the third quarter, Rondo drove to the left side of the basket for one of his patented dishes under the basket but he lost his footing, slipping to the court. His knee was protected by the black ACL brace he wears and he remained in the game and played the remainder of the third quarter with no apparent ill effects.
Rajon Rondo (sore Achilles) explains exactly why he's not playing back-to-backs | 03.09.14 at 10:42 pm ET |
Rajon Rondo went into detail after Sunday night's win over the Pistons, explaining exactly why he doesn't feel ready to play in back-to-back games, nearly two months after returning to game action.
"If I was ready [for back-to-back games], I'd play," Rondo said. "It's a matter of a combination of things that bother me on my lower part of my body, my calves, my Achilles and then my knee so it's just a part of all of those three that are affecting me after games. The next day, I need the rest."
Rondo has been taking long massage treatments after each game on his lower body to try and reduce the impact from running up and down the court and playing his typically aggressive, sometimes reckless style. But the massages, he said, only go so far. He still has to wake up the next morning.
"I'm pretty sore when I wake up," Rondo said. "My Achilles bothers me the most when I get out of bed. Throughout the day it gets better. I still don't want to try to overdo it and something else may happen just because of that."
Which is why coach Brad Stevens before Sunday's game all but ruled out Rondo from playing in any of the five remaining sets of back-to-back games for the team this season, with the next one coming Tuesday in Indiana and Wednesday at home against the Knicks. Stevens, Rondo and GM Danny Ainge don't want their superstar point guard injuring something like his Achilles trying to compensate for a right knee that may not still be 100 percent.
Is Rondo surprised it's taking this long to get back to full strength?
"No. it's the NBA season," Rondo said. "It's tough. I'm up to 30, 34, 35 minutes a night now. I'm doing the right procedures. I'm taking the massage. I'm icing after the games. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do it's just that I have to listen to my body."
Rondo had 18 assists and no turnovers in Sunday's 118-111 win over the Pistons, falling just two assists shy of the NBA record for most assists without a turnover in NBA history. Rondo also passed Bill Russell for fifth place on the Celtics all-time list with 4,101, one more than the NBA Hall of Fame center.
Chris Babb impresses, signs second 10-day contract | 03.09.14 at 10:27 pm ET |
Chris Babb will be staying for at least another 10 days in a Celtics uniform.
Babb indicated after Sunday's 118-111 win over the Pistons that he had agreed to accept a second 10-day contract after the first one expires Sunday at midnight.
The move will keep the rookie guard on the team for at least six more games. The Celtics signed the undrafted rookie after an impressive showing in camp in October and after Avery Bradley went down with an ankle injury, leaving the team short on off-guards who could defend. Bradley is expected to return on Friday at home against Phoenix but the Celtics clearly like the determination Babb has shown in practice and games and is willingness and ability to pick up the system.
"Hopefully I make a couple more shots, but that will come," said Babb, who was 1-for-3 from the floor and had an assist in 12 minutes off the bench Sunday. "I'm just really focusing on just playing hard when I get into game, when I get my opportunities. Play hard, be prepared, and know the role. Just continue to do what I've been doing."
Babb has appeared in four games, averaging 3.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 13 minutes of action after playing most of the season for the Maine Red Claws of the D-League.
"That's 90 percent of the battle, just getting a shot, because there's so much talent," said Babb. "In the D-League, [there are] guys coming out of college and veterans, so all it takes is for some guys like me is a chance. I was fortunate enough to get one."
"I'd really like to have him around," added coach Brad Stevens said before Sunday's game. "All indications are that everybody feels that way within our organization."
Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green, Kris Humphries power Celtics over Pistons | 03.09.14 at 8:32 pm ET |
Rajon Rondo dished out a season-high 18 assists to go with 11 points and the Celtics rode a red-hot third quarter from the field to post a 118-111 win over the Pistons Sunday night at TD Garden. Jeff Green scored 27 while Kelly Olynyk provided a big first-half spark off the bench, scoring 13 of his 18 points in the opening 24 minutes.
Rondo's 18 helpers were all the more remarkable considering he had no turnovers, just two assists shy of matching the NBA record for assists in a game without committing a turnover, achieved three times.
Kris Humphries added his sixth double-double of the season, scoring 20 points on 9-of-13 shooting, while grabbing 10 rebounds. The Celtics improved to 22-41, winning consecutive games for the first time since beating Orlando, Philadelphia and Sacramento to open February. Josh Smith led Detroit with 28 while Greg Monroe added 22 for the Pistons, who fell to 24-39. The Celtics are just five games out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with 19 games remaining.
As was the case in Friday's win over the Nets, the Celtics took a lead after the first quarter and were in command most of the way. Jared Sullinger's layup with 31.3 seconds left in the first gave the Celtics a 24-22 lead, an advantage they would not relinquish.
Green scored 11 of his 27 in the second quarter as the Celtics took 57-49 halftime lead.
The Celtics came out blazing hot in the third, making 11 of their first 16 shots to open a 17-point lead. After shooting just 2-for-14 from long range in the first half, the Celtics drilled 8-of-12 from long range to put up 31 points in the first nine minutes of the quarter. The Celtics, thanks to 68 percent (15-of-22) shooting, scored 38 points in the quarter taking a 95-84 lead into the fourth.
The 38 points was the third-highest total in any quarter this season, behind the 42 in the first quarter against the Pistons on Dec. 18 and the 39 against the Bucks on Dec. 3.
While the Celtics were on fire offensively, they were leaking oil badly on defense, allowing 35 points as Detroit kept the game within range by shooting 60 percent from the field.
The 73-point quarter was a throwback to the old days of the ABA when little defense was played and open shots were the norm.
Green's ill-fated behind-the-back pass to Will Bynum set up a Pistons fast break layup and three-point play on the other end as the Pistons drew to within eight, 95-87, in the opening 90 seconds. The two teams went back and forth. Josh Smith hit a three with 4:43 left to cut the Boston lead to nine before Jeff Green answered on the next possession.
Another Smith three cut the lead to eight, 111-103 with 2:53 left. Will Bynum hit two free throws with 2:29 left to make it 111-105. Rondo found Humphries under the basket for a nice reverse layup to make it 113-105. Bynum converted another pair of free throws with 1:10 left to make it a six-point game. His two free throws with 48.2 seconds left cut the lead to four, 113-109.
The Celtics will leave Monday after practice for a game at Indiana Tuesday night. They return to Boston to play the Knicks on Wednesday night at TD Garden. Head coach Brad Stevens indicated before the game that Rondo will likely not play in the second game of back-to-backs the rest of the season and is expected to sit out the Knicks game if he plays Tuesday night.

Don't try this at home: iPad 2 teardown
- Jeff Bounds
- Senior Staff Writer
No sooner did Apple Inc. release the second version of its Wi-Fi enabled iPad tablet than geeks ripped it apart to see what made it tick.
Here are a few tidbits from iFixit, a website that cautions its "teardown" of the iPad 2 "should not be used as disassembly instructions."
- The 10-hour battery life "is the same as the original iPad, but it's impressive considering the device is also thinner, lighter and faster."
- Among the chips making the iPad 2 go is a "touchscreen line driver" from Dallas' own Texas Instruments.
- The front panel does not have clips holding it shut, just "tons of glue."
I don't own an iPad, but the glue thing is good to know for when I do my own teardown. Not.

"During this week, we invite the public to 'start here' by visiting our community health centers citywide to learn about our services and work."
During this week, the City's health center locations will open the doors to all who want to learn about clinic services and what public health workers do right in their own neighborhoods. The public is encouraged to visit at the below locations and times:
Tuesday, April 8: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

The pros and cons of bamboo floors
If things look a little greener around here this April, there's a good reason. Our editorial staff is busy expanding the ideals of Earth Day into a month-long celebration of energy conservation, alternative transportation, recycling tips and about a million ways you can be a better friend to the planet. Welcome to Green Month, Milwaukee.
About two years ago, we installed a bamboo floor in our kitchen. Surprisingly, we had exactly enough left over to cover the floor of our VW camper bus, too. We bought the flooring at Lowe's, and although it was more expensive than Pergo and other fake wood floors, it wasn't exorbitant.
We choose bamboo because, at the time, we believed it was an environmentally friendly choice. Although bamboo is a highly renewable resource that reaches maturity far earlier than trees, we now know that, like so many seemingly "green" choices, there's a flip side. But more about that later.
Overall, I am really pleased with our bamboo flooring, both in the kitchen and the camper. It is a very hard wood, so it holds up to the potential wear-and-tear of two active little boys, and it's really easy to clean. Basically, we just wash it down with hot water and maybe a drop of Dr. Bronner's for that extra-clean smell.
Also, I love the way it looks. Instead of the wide planks in a wood floor, bamboo flooring -- which comes in natural or a darker "oak" -- has very thin planks. You can see where the knobs were, which gives it a very distinctive look. Actually, it looks just like what it is: bamboo shoots that were split, flattened, dried and laminated.
The lamination is one of the areas where the eco-friendliness of this product is questionable because most laminates have carcinogenic chemicals such as formaldehyde. Also, the recent hyper planting of bamboo creates deforestation, and because most bamboo comes from Asia, it requires less-renewable resources to ship it to the United States.
So many eco-friendly choices are one step forward and a step –- or even two -- back. Once again, it boils down to staying off bandwagons and simply doing the best you can in whatever ways you believe are the most important.

DOWNTON ABBEY's Laura Carmichael to Make West End Debut in UNCLE VANYA
According to the Daily Mail, Downtown Abbey's Laura Carmichael is set to make her West End debut as Sonya in Christopher Hampton's adaptation of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya.
"I'm terrified and excited. I think you have to be a bit scared. There'd be something wrong with you if you weren't," Carmichael told the Mail's Baz Bamigboye.
Read the original report here.
Carmichael will join Ken Stott in the title role, Anna Friel as Yelena and Samuel West as Astrov. Rehearsals are set to begin on September 17, with previews starting on October 25. Opening night is slated for November 2, 2012.
Carmichael, well known for playing Lady Edith in the television series Downton Abbey, began her career on stage studying at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. She has worked with Thea Sharrock in the play Plenty, as well as appearing in Sheffield's Crucible.
The actress will again be seen in the third season of Downton, which debuts on September 16 on ITV1.

The all-time Ashes XI: Yes to Botham and Gilchrist but no to Grace and Miller
Hard choices lead to glaring omissions. No Warwick Armstrong, who was no less mean in his determination to win than Douglas Jardine, but the team is chosen on the Australian principle that you pick your best XI, then the captain. There is no Keith Miller, no Glenn McGrath, no Richie Benaud, no Bill O'Reilly, no Denis Compton, no Herbert Sutcliffe. Does this suggest a faint English bias? Quite probably.
1: Jack Hobbs
Between 1911 and 1929, scored 12 of his 197 hundreds against Australia. One of 12 children of the groundsman at Jesus College, Cambridge, Hobbs was a run machine capable of playing crucial innings in difficult conditions. "He was perfect in the execution of every stroke. His footwork was a model for all and his style was irreproachable" (Jack Fingleton).
2: Len Hutton
England's top scorer at The Oval in 1938 (364) and 10 years later (30 out of 52), Hutton experienced the broadest range of exhilaration (1953) and despair (1948) in Ashes series. An uncompromising Yorkshireman, Hutton's cover drive is locked in the memory of anyone who saw it. "His bat was part of his nervous system" (Harold Pinter).
3: Don Bradman
His average against England was 10 runs lower than his legendary career Test average of 99.94, but he did average more than 100 in England. More a relentless accumulator than a stylist, Bradman was the greatest "run-stealer flickering to and fro". Disliked by many colleagues, he is, none the less, the obvious choice as captain.
4: Wally Hammond
Bradman's contemporary and rival - and the more rounded cricketer. "He would make a hundred or two against Australia, then bowl down their first three wickets, and make with ease a slip catch others would not merely miss but would not have rated a miss" (R C Robertson-Glasgow).
5: Victor Trumper
The streets of Sydney were blocked when he was carried to his grave, aged 37, in 1915, because of the dashing way he batted rather than the runs he scored. Average in 40 Ashes matches, 32.79. Plum Warner asked George Hirst where he wanted the field placed to him: "It doesn't much matter, sir. Victor will do as he likes."
6: Ian Botham
To be chosen ahead of Keith Miller is one the greatest compliments ever paid to Botham. Lacking Miller's elegance and charm, Botham's special ability was to conjure a win in matches that seemed quite beyond England (1981 and 1986-87). A force of nature, Botham's averages are less good than Miller's, but he took almost twice as many wickets.
7: Adam Gilchrist
There have been better wicketkeepers but no better keeper-batsman. Gilchrist's batting average against England is 61.18 in 10 games (compare Alan Knott's 32.98). He also has 47 dismissals. There has been no greater heart-breaker of bowlers since Gilbert Jessop 100 years ago.
8: S F Barnes
An off-spinner who could bowl leg-breaks and move the ball in the air and off the pitch; 106 wickets in 20 Tests. One spell in Melbourne in 1901-02 was 11-7-6-5. "The finest piece of bowling in Test cricket" (Fingleton). He bowled Trumper with a ball that "was fast on leg stump, but just before it pitched it swung to the off. Then it pitched, broke back and took his leg stump" (Charlie Macartney).
9: Shane Warne
No leg-spinner who has played more than 25 Ashes Tests can approach Warne's 132 wickets at 23.03, although Bill O'Reilly comes close. No leg-spinner has bowled a ball that has become as fixed in the memory as Warne's to dismiss Mike Gatting at Old Trafford in 1993. As his skill diminished, he then frightened respectable batsmen into submission.
10: Dennis Lillee
The statistics tell only part of the story. Lillee has taken more wickets in Ashes Tests than any other bowler (167 in 29 Tests at 21.00) as much by force of personality as skill and speed. "[Lillee's] 'verbal aggression' has been something else in its spirit of near hatred" (David Frith). However, a lovable nature is not a requirement for selection.
11: Ray Lindwall or
Harold Larwood
The case for Larwood is that his bowling won an Ashes series in 1932-33 in improbable circumstances. The case against is the method - Bodyline. Ray Lindwall's flowing action was the most stylish of all fast bowlers. He took 114 wickets at 22.44, compared to Larwood in Australia - 51 at 26.82. If forced, the reluctant choice is Lindwall.

Back in May we reported on an amazing conspiracy theory that seemed to bring all of the far right's fears about Obama, Islam, environmentalism and immigration together: essentially, President Obama is going to collapse the world economy, causing Muslim immigrants to flood the U.S. and give Obama the opportunity to settle them on land seized under Agenda 21 and establish Sharia law. But that was just scratching the surface.

Alex McFarland of the American Family Association, the group hosting Texas Governor Rick Perry's The Response prayer rally, said that Perry's event is needed more then ever after marriage equality passed in New York. During his radio show on the AFA's American Family Radio with Marvin Sanders, McFarland lauded the Perry/AFA rally as "a very wonderful thing" to help America "turn back to God." McFarland, who last said that homosexuality is "a learned response to emotional pain and sometimes molestation," went on to say that the marriage... MORE >

David Barton was on "Today's Issues" on American Family Radio yesterday, which is a program hosted by American Family Association President Tim Wildmon and AFR General Manager Marvin Sanders, discussing a range of issues, including how he managed to get hooked up with Glenn Beck.
Barton explained that God brought them together, as Beck had been praying about who he should get to teach the faith aspect of his American history lessons when two different people approached him in church and told him to read Barton's books. Barton also reveals that Glenn Beck has a massive... MORE >
