What do we know about GABA?
So, I just heard about this new thing called GABA. Another name for it is HGH -- Human Growth Hormone. Apparently it is some sort of amino acid that you take as a powder at night befire bed. It then releases this HGH and supposedly improves fat loss, keeps lean muscle, and a bunch of other stuff: better sleeping, better sex, more energy, etc. I am curious to know if anyone out there has tried anything like this, and what your results were! Thanks!

Well for starters, here's what Supplement Watch has to say about it...
Supplement GABA
Description *NOTE: This summary also covers compounds related to GABA such as GHB, GBL and BD which are considered illegal/unapproved drugs (not dietary supplements) by the Food and Drug Administration GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that functions as a neurotransmitter in the brain. GABA is synthesized in the brain from another amino acid, glutamate, and functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter meaning that it blocks nerve impulses. In the body, GABA is concentrated in the hypothalamus region of the brain and is known to play a role in the overall functioning of the pituitary gland which regulates growth hormone synthesis, sleep cycles, and body temperature.
Claims Increases growth hormone levels
Induces relaxation / sleep
Promotes muscle recovery
Relieves anxiety / Promotes feelings of well-being
Theory As a dietary supplement, GABA is typically promoted to bodybuilders and other athletes as a nutrient to help stimulate secretion of growth hormone, decrease body fat levels and increase lean muscle tissue. The problem, however, is that GABA does not cross the blood-brain barrier, so it can not get into the brain where it is active. A related compound known as GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) differs from GABA only by substitution of GABAs amino group with a hydroxyl (OH) group making GHB able to cross into the brain. As such, products containing GHB have been promoted as supplements to increase growth hormone levels, aid recovery from exercise and promote relaxation and sleep.
GABA and GHB appear to be readily interconvertible in the brain and a number of chemically related compounds, such as GBL (gamma-butyrolactone), BD (1,4-butanediol) and furanone (2,3H-furanone di-hydro) are rapidly converted in the body into GHB.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) consider GHB and related compounds (GBL, BD, furanone) to be dangerous unapproved drugs due to their tendency to cause seizures and other adverse side effects. GABA, however, is classified as an amino acid which is legal for use as a dietary supplement.
Scientific Support The predominant effects of GHB are sedative. At low doses, GHB can relieve anxiety and produce relaxation as the dose increases, however, the sedative effects result in sleep and eventual coma or death. GHB is one of a number of drugs implicated as date rape drugs for its effects as a central nervous system depressant. GHB also stimulates the release of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary gland but no studies have ever shown GHB to result in positive changes in body fat levels, muscle mass or strength. Whether or not GHB works is sort of a moot point as the FDA banned over-the-counter sale of GHB in 1990 but it is still available in various forms (GBL, BD, furanone) in illegal dietary supplements and on the black market.
Although GABA can be converted into GHB in the brain, and both appear to have power actions in certain regions of the brain, it is unclear whether orally administered GABA is converted to GHB. It does appear, however, that pituitary growth hormone release is partly regulated by blood levels of GABA.
Many supplement marketers cite a single obscure Italian study as evidence that GABA increases growth hormone (GH) secretion in athletes. The study, which was conducted over 20 years ago, was carried out in fewer than 20 subjects, and while it did show an increase in blood levels of GH, it has yet to be replicated by other scientists.
In more recent studies (in sheep), intravenous administration of GABA resulted in a rapid increase in plasma GH levels, while direct administration of GABA into the brain produced a significant increase in GH release. In other studies (in mice), increased concentrations of GABA in the systemic circulation have been linked to impaired liver repair.
Studies which have examined glutamate supplements (glutamate can be converted into GABA) in athletes have shown a suppression of serum GH levels during exercise in cyclists receiving glutamate/arginine supplements. Another study found 10 grams of oral glutamic acid to stimulate the secretion some pituitary hormones (prolactin and cortisol), but no effect was seen on GH levels.
Safety Although the chemical structure of GABA and GHB are similar, we are not aware of any adverse events associated with GABA-containing dietary supplements. GHB, however, is a far different story. Despite its presence in a wide variety of dietary supplements, the FDA considers it to be an illegal/unapproved drug and not a supplement ingredient. As such, the FDA has moved to remove such products from the marketplace and with good reason.
GHB-containing products have been associated with a number of adverse side effects related to the dose of GHB. Low doses of GHB (0.5-1.5 grams) typically induce feelings of relaxation similar to mild alcohol intoxication, while medium doses (1-2.5 grams) increase muscle relaxation and cause physical disequilibrium and loss of coordination. High doses of GHB (above 2.5 grams) result in nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness as well as more serious adverse effects such as depressed breathing, bradycardia (slow heart rate), coma, and even death. Alcohol and other drugs with central nervous system depressant effects are known to compound the effect of GHB.
**Toxic reactions have also been reported for supplement products containing GBL, BD and furanone.
Value As it is currently promoted, GABA supplements do not appear to be particularly effective in stimulating growth hormone synthesis/secretion or promoting relaxation. The majority of commercially available supplements provide GABA in levels of 250-750mg far below the several grams per dose shown to be effective in influencing growth hormone metabolism.
When it comes to GHB and its various chemical cousins the fact that the FDA considers them illegal drugs just about says it all.
Dosage Doses of GABA as high as 5 grams per dose are recommended within hard-core bodybuilding circles to stimulate spikes in plasma growth hormone levels, but smaller doses of 1-2 grams are probably more realistic. Doses are typically taken on an empty stomach prior to sleep.
Personally, my crap detector automatically rings anytime I see a supplement or product being hyped the way this stuff is. Human Growth Hormone (the real stuff) is illegal in the US, and very expensive outside the US (I've read a few articles about HGH clinics in Mexico).
I just checked a couple of bodybuilding forums - did a search for GABA - and it appears that most of those folks use the stuff as a sedative to sleep better, but I didn't see anything about it being used for fat burning, muscle building, or any of the other things you mentioned.

|Transition-age students with low-incidence disabilities comprise 3 of the fastest growing disability categories (autism, traumatic brain injury, and other health impairments) and 2 of the fastest growing age categories (age 12-17 and 18-21). This dramatic growth will require substantial increases in the number of transition personnel able to address the needs of a population that continues to lack access to vocational services, postsecondary education, and transition services. The proposed project will address these needs by developing a transition endorsement program focused on the needs of students with low-incidence disabilities from high-need urban and rural areas. This program will provide an 18-semester-credit-hour, transition-to-work endorsement program to 24 part-time and 16 full-time graduate students who will also attain a Master¦s degree in transition. Trainees will complete a minimum of 2 career and technical education courses, 2 transition courses, 1 rehabilitation course, and a practicum as part of their interdisciplinary training. To apply direct service skills, trainees will develop and direct a 6-week Kent State University campus experience for high school students with low-incidence disabilities; this campus experience will include job tryouts, participation in classes, community activities, residential living, and collaboration with families. Trainee training will culminate with their development of interagency teams at schools that focus on the development of transition programs, community experiences, and post-18 programs for students with low-incidence disabilities. Training will be provided statewide and regionally through Kent State networks and distance learning.

Submission + - Thinking about science causes moral behaviour
Researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara set out to test this possibility. They hypothesized that there is a deep-seated perception of science as a moral pursuit — its emphasis on truth-seeking, impartiality and rationality privileges collective well-being above all else. Their new study
... argues that the association between science and morality is so ingrained that merely thinking about it can trigger more moral behavior.

Alabama Supreme Court Ruling Could End Legal Abortion in America
In a case unrelated to abortion, the Alabama Supreme Court rendered a decision that could topple the legal spires of unholy abortions here in the United States.
The case involved Sarah Janie Hicks who used illegal drugs while she was pregnant. After her baby was born, the infant tested positive for drugs and Hicks was charged with a crime and ended up pleading guilty to violating Alabama's chemical endangerment statute. Her conviction was challenged and ended up before the Alabama State Supreme Court on the basis that the term 'child' did not include the unborn.
In an 8-1 decision, the court upheld the conviction of Hicks. Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy Moore wrote in his concurring specially part of the ruling (excerpts below taken from full document):
"I concur with the main opinion and with Justice Parker's concurring specially opinion, which rightly notes that '[b]ecause an unborn child has an inalienable right to life from its earliest stages of development, it is entitled … to a life free from the harmful effects of chemicals at all stages of development.' ___ So. 3d at ___. I write separately to emphasize that the inalienable right to life is a gift of God that civil government must secure for all persons—born and unborn."
"I. Our Creator, Not Government, Gives to All People 'Unalienable' Natural Rights."
"According to our Nation's charter, the Declaration of Independence, the United States was founded upon the 'self-evident' truth that 'all Men are created equal, [and] that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.' Declaration of Independence, ¶ 2 (1776). Denominated in the United States Code Annotated as one of the 'Organic Laws of the United States of America,' the Declaration acknowledges as 'self-evident the truth that all human beings are endowed with inherent dignity and the right to life as a direct result of having been created by God. When it was signed by our Founding Fathers in 1776, the Declaration returned to first principles of God, His law, and human rights and government…"
"In its views of law and life by the most influential legal treatise of the time, Sir William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765). See, e.g., District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 593-94 (2008) (recognizing Blackstone's work as 'the preeminent authority on English law for the founding generation' (quoting Alden v. Maine, 527 U.S. 706, 715 (1999))). Blackstone recognized that God's law was superior to all other laws:
"This law of nature, being co-eval [beginning at the same time] with mankind and dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this …."
"Therefore, as stated by James Wilson, one of the first Justices on the United States Supreme Court: 'Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is divine.'…"
"II. The Right to Life is an 'Unalienable' Gift of God."
"The first right listed in the Declaration as among our unalienable rights is the right to 'Life.' Blackstone wrote that '[l]ife is the immediate gift of God, a right inherent by nature in every individual; and it begins in contemplation of law as soon as an infant is able to stir in the mother's womb.'"…
"God's creation of man and woman in His own image, Genesis 1:27 (King James), together with the divine command, 'Thou shalt not kill,' provides the baseline for the right to life. See Exodus 20:13 (King James). Exodus 21 provides express protection for the unborn: where fighting men 'hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her … [a]nd if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life.' Exodus 21:22-23; see id. (requiring that if 'no mischief follow' then the offender must pay a fine). Both testaments attest to the sanctity and personhood of unborn life. See, e.g., Psalm 139:13-15 ('For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.'); Luke 1:44 (Elizabeth declaring that 'the babe leaped in my womb for joy')…"
"III. All Governments Must Secure God-Given Rights."
"Although not the source of our rights, governments are instituted in order to 'secure these rights' given by God, the Declaration continues, and are fashioned by the people 'in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.' Thomas Jefferson identified 'the first and only legitimate object of good government' to be '[t]he care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction.'…
"VI. States Have an Affirmative Duty to Protect Unborn Human Life Under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment."
"The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment provides that a state may not 'deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.' U.S. Const. amend. XIV (emphasis added). '[T]he framers [of the Fourteenth Amendment] attempted to create a legal bridge between their understanding of the Declaration of Independence, with its grand declarations of equality and rights endowed by a Creator God, and constitutional jurisprudence.'…"
"A plain reading of the Equal Protection Clause, therefore, indicates that states have an affirmative constitutional duty to protect unborn persons within their jurisdiction to the same degree as born persons. 'The purpose of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is to secure every person within the state's jurisdiction against intentional and arbitrary discrimination, whether occasioned by express terms of a statute or by its improper execution through duly constituted agents."…
"VII. Conclusion."
"Under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, states have an obligation to provide to unborn children at any stage of their development the same legal protection from injury and death they provide to persons already born. Because a human life with a full genetic endowment comes into existence at the moment of conception, the self-evident truth that 'all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights' encompasses the moment of conception. Legal recognition of the unborn as members of the human family derives ultimately from the laws of nature and of nature's God, Who created human life in His image and protected it with the commandment: 'Thou shalt not kill.' Therefore, the interpretation of the word 'child' in Alabama's chemical-endangerment statute, § 26-15-3.2, Ala. Code 1975, to include all human beings from the moment of conception is fully consistent with these first principles regarding life and law."
Matt Staver, Founder and President of Liberty Counsel commented on the Alabama Supreme Court ruling, saying:
"In an age where some judges do not know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, or do not even care, finally the Alabama Supreme Court springs forth with a ray of light."
"[The opinions by Chief Justice Roy Moore and Justice Tom Parker] are well-reasoned, grounded in history and natural law, and completely demolish the fallacies of the U.S. Supreme Court's abortion decisions."
"One day soon the United States Supreme Court's abortion opinions will come toppling down like a house of cards. Then we will look back at history like we now do with Nazi Germany and wonder why our generation was so blind to the personhood of the preborn child."
The decisions written by Chief Justice Moore and Justice Shaw could well be used as a precedent ruling to abolish legal abortion in the United States. Yes liberals like Obama and others who love making millions from murdering the unborn, like Planned Parenthood, will challenge the ruling and argue the basis for the court's ruling, but they may have a hard time winning their arguments.
If you have contact with any right to life organization, you need to direct them to this important court ruling which can be read in its entirety here. Hopefully they will jump on the legal bandwagon to overturn Roe v. Wade and save the lives of millions of children that would otherwise be murdered before they draw their first breath of air.

Cross Removed From Army Chapel in Afghanistan by Our Own OBAMA Communistic Government
The Christian Post reports that "The U.S. Army has removed a cross that was prominently placed on the front of a chapel located at the remote base of Camp Marmal in Northern Afghanistan. . . . [O]fficials said that having a permanent sectarian image on the chapel violated army regulations. . . . One soldier referred to the decision and the regulation behind it as 'a direct attack against Christianity and Judaism.'"
This isn't the first time Christianity has been an issue in Afghanistan. Bibles translated into Afghan languages were sent to a U.S. soldier at a base in Afghanistan. Here's how CNN reported the story in 2009:
Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that were printed in the two most common Afghan languages amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans, a Defense Department spokesman said Tuesday.
The unsolicited Bibles sent by a church in the United States were confiscated about a year ago at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan because military rules forbid troops of any religion from proselytizing while deployed there, Lt. Col. Mark Wright said.
Such religious outreach can endanger American troops and civilians in the devoutly Muslim nation, Wright said.
So it's OK to blow up stuff and shoot and kill Afghans, but it's illegal to share the gospel with them. We have traded bullets for the "gospel of peace" (Eph. 6:15).
America has been compromising its Christian heritage with Islamic nations for more than two centuries. It didn't work then, and it's not going to work now. Europe abandoned its Christian heritage long ago in the name of religious pluralism, adopted secularism as a state religion, and if demographic reports are accurate will be Islamic in less than 50 years. Playing the neutrality game is having an impact, and it's not a good one. "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap" (Gal. 6:7).
Soldiers during World War I were presented with New Testaments that had Micah 6:8 inserted in them: "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" What our government understood in the early part of the 20th century, it now rejects.
Many secularists on the Right believe they will be able to change societies by force forced democracy rather than the heart-changing effect of the gospel. Secularists on the Left believe they will do it with reason and science. Good luck with both extremes.
One supporter of the Afghan Bible ban wrote the following to me after reading a short article I had written making people aware of the story:
You must be out of your mind! Any . . . conversion effort by the soldiers would be considered an affront and negate much of the good work being done over there. They would be considered "crusaders" and another proof of this and play right into Al-Qaeda hands. Obviously you do not appreciate the sensitivity of the situation and the necessity of walking the line of neutrality. The best "sermon" is to do a good job, help with the reconstruction, and police the country.
Jesus did a good job, fed the people, and healed the sick and raised the dead, and He was still crucified. Like in Jesus' day, a few terrorists are keeping the only thing that will transform the Middle East from the people.
It's not just soldiers who are denied the right to present the gospel in Muslim nations. Just being a Christian in a Muslim nation of which you are a citizen can get you thrown in jail or worse. Foreign aid workers who have no link to our military are under constant threat if it is perceived that they might present the gospel. Christian minorities are persecuted on a regular basis. Some have had their apartments searched for Bibles and other Christian literature. Converting to Christianity can get a Muslim convert the death penalty.
We've seen this type of persecution before, and it didn't stop the spread of the gospel. Peter and John were arrested "because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead" (Acts 4:2). They were on trial "for a benefit done to a sick man" who had been made well (4:9). Even after seeing the healed man in their midst, the religious leaders "threatened them further" (4:21). Even good works did not persuade these religious leaders to embrace the gospel.
The apostles later were arrested and put "in a public jail" (5:18) and given orders to stop "teaching in this name" (5:28). Peter then utters the classic response: "We must obey God rather than men" (5:29).
A flogging couldn't get them to stop proclaiming the gospel message (5:40). And neither could executions, first Stephen (7:54–6) and then James the brother of John (12:2). It didn't take long before the gospel became a threat to the political establishment of the day. Throughout the period of Jewish persecution, the gospel was never compromised. Even with the rise of Roman civil prosecution, the outward witness of the church continued. The word neutrality was not in their vocabulary, no matter what the bloody consequences. The world was changed by their efforts.
The attempt to appease and mollify Muslims by America muting its religious heritage has a long history. In 1797 a treaty was made with the Islamic leadership of Tripoli that stated that "the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." Of course, this was false given the official documents, charters, state constitutions, and calls for national days of prayer and thanksgiving. But to appease the Barbary pirates and their Muslim protectors, the statement was put in the treaty. Did it work? No! Did the Muslim pirates stop kidnapping Christians from ships that sailed near the coast of northern Africa because of the treaty? No! They saw the accommodation as a sign of weakness and a lack of will. If Americans were willing to give up the sacredness of their religion for the promise of peace, then they would be willing to give up everything. The pirates did not stop their pirating ways.
It did not take long for American government officials to see that religious and other concessions did little good to stop the piracy and kidnapping. America had been paying ransom since 1785 for survivors of captured ships who had been sold into slavery. This stopped in 1801 when the Pasha of Tripoli broke the treaty because President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay the Pasha's demands for increased payments. The Treaty was renegotiated in 1805 after the First Barbary War. There would be no more compromises regarding the Christian religion with the Barbary extortionists. The statement that "the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion" was removed from the 1805 Treaty. With a navy to back up the treaty, the piracy stopped for a time and was finally stamped out in 1815 with the Second Barbary War.
For years secularists have tried to use the 1797 Treaty with Tripoli as evidence that the founding of America had nothing to do with the Christian religion. A more thorough study of the Treaty and the history behind it tells a different story. One big lesson of that history is that the United States government hasn't learned much since 1797 in dealing with radical Islam. Destroying "the sword of the spirit" (Eph. 6:17) which is able to pierce "as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart" (Heb. 4:12) will only lead to ongoing wars with bullets, missiles, tanks, and worse.

Those Who Read the Past Write the Future
Unfortunately most of what we are taught in History survey classes in American schools consists of simplistic formulas. Formulas designed to persuade those forced to attend the government controlled education mills that they should ride the same ideological hobby horses as whoever currently has the power to select textbooks and prescribe curricula. Whether it was the rabidly pro-American imperial History of yesteryear that pushed lines such as, "We never started a war and never lost one," and "We turned a raw wilderness into a civilized nation." or, if it is the rabidly anti-American propaganda of today spouting lines such as, "America was founded by deists who used serial genocide and economic fascism to steal a nation, pollute the earth, and poison the sea" neither are correct. Both versions are merely two sides of an extremely myopic view which does not seek to discover nor promote the truth but instead seek to mold the next generation into what they think will be foot soldiers in their own crusade.
History, if it has any value at all is that it fulfills two goals. First, the study of History should provide context. A text without a context is a pretext and we must have context so we can understand how we as a people became who we are, how the world became what it is, and where it might go next. Secondly, the study of History should help us learn from and hopefully avoid the mistakes made by those who have gone before so we can leave a better world to those who come after. However, as stated above, these are rarely the goals of History education. The reason why is summed up in a joke only Historians seem to get.
Most people in the world believe objectivity exists. They act as if the stories presented in survey of history classes are "the facts ma'am and nothing but the facts." I was once part of this blissful herd. I was a self-taught Historian before I took the plunge and studied to become a card carrying member of the profession. I was captured by the allure of History when I was nine years old. Nothing in the world made any sense. What I was taught and saw at home conflicted 180 degrees from what I was taught at church. What I was taught at church conflicted 180 degrees from what I was taught at school. What I saw on the streets appeared real because it seemed to be the way the world actually worked, but it was out of synch with my home my church and my school. Not knowing myself well enough to know that I am a person who operates best when things make sense and the world appears orderly I was confused and uncomfortable living in a world so out of joint.
Consequently when I learned in the third grade that there were histories of the world available I latched on to them like a drowning man latches on to a life preserver. I began reading History books every day. They became my raft in a swirling sea of confusion creating an orderly world of sequential reality that I used to build my bridge to the first positive value of History, gaining a coherent understanding of how we as a people became who we are, how the world became what it is, and where it might go next. However, I was a rebellious child. A child who never moved to the second value of History. I never learned to profit from the mistakes of those who went before. Following those in my family who went before I walked out of traditional education at age sixteen figuring I knew enough to make my way in the world. Twenty plus years of manual labor later I thought it might be a good idea to finish my education.
When I finished my Bachelor degree in History I realized that a Bachelor degree in History is good for two things, it can help you become the manager of the electronics department at Wal-Mart and it opens the door for a Master Degree in History. Since I was determined to become a History professor, I chose the latter. On my first day of graduate school this budding self-taught Historian had to grit my teeth as a professor told our class, "There are no facts, and History is only what Historians say it is."
Of course I had to run up after class to argue, "How can you say there are no facts? Look at the Vietnam War. We know it happened. We know when it started and when it ended. Those are facts and we can know them!" After listening calmly to my impassioned tirade the professor quietly said, "Maybe there's another side to that story."
This rude awakening sent me on a journey of discovery: searching for the other side of the story. Along the way I contributed my first chapter in a History book. My research helped me realize there is more than one side to every story. There are often conflicting facts, overlapping timelines, and always another way to look at everything. The truth of this is displayed in an endless series of quotes. Napoleon once said, "History is a set of lies agreed upon." Voltaire said, "History is a pack of lies we play on the dead." Ambrose Bierce said, "God alone knows the future, but only an historian can alter the past." And one of my favorite philosophers, Anonymous sagely added, "The certainty of history seems to be in direct inverse ratio to what we know about it."
What is the purpose of this self-revealing stroll down memory lane? It isn't for the purpose of either self-actualization or confession. Both of those goals were achieved long ago. It is instead my attempt to lead you my loyal reader (for those will be the only ones left after such a lesson in historiography) to the second value of the study of History. I am encouraged by the multitudes of people who are today engrossed in this study. So many of the recently awakened yearn to know the History of America, they long to know how our Constitution was written by whom and why. I am here to remind everyone we need to look at all sides, consider every angle, and remember everyone has a point of view, even Historians, and objectivity is in reality subjectivity in a grey flannel suit.
Remember that second value of History? It should help us learn from and hopefully avoid the mistakes made by those who have gone before so we can leave a better world to those who come after. If we merely exchange the unabashedly anti-American lenses of the present for the unquestioning pro-American lenses of the past we will be blind to what we really need to see.
The complexity of reality defies the easy interpretations of partisan politics. Has America always been right? No, the jingoistic refrain of "My country right or wrong" will lead those who blindly salute it into supporting what is wrong as easily as what is right. Has America always been wrong? No, the view currently used to indoctrinate the youth in our public schools which sees America as an imperialistic power that used genocide, racism, and naked aggression to build a hegemonic empire forget all the good America has accomplished. This view presents an America bent on maintaining the privileges of the rich over the rights of the poor and leads those who imbibe its venom into ignoring that America was founded as the world's greatest experiment in personal liberty and economic freedom.
Both views are too simplistic for people who want to break free of the matrix and see the world for what it truly is: a struggle between those who wish to control mankind for their own benefits and those who wish to see man set free so he can become all that he may be.
This is a call for those who have taken the bread and circus blinders off their eyes not to replace them with another set. Today we don't have to rely on what we have been taught. We can use the Internet as a portal into every perspective imaginable, histories beyond counting, and all the great works of mankind. Read broadly, study extensively and think for yourself. Don't exchange the purveyors of self-serving pap on the left for the purveyors of self-serving pap on the right. Open both ears, hear both sides, use the mind God gave you, and find the center path.
America has done some things wrong. America has done some things right. When it all is brought to the scales, when enough is seen to grasp the big picture, it is the non-objective view of this Historian that America has provided more freedom for more people than any other country that has ever existed. It is also my opinion that powers of anti-freedom have sought to regain control since the Revolution, and if those who have been too busy working and raising families don't spend enough time to learn what History teaches we will soon earn the reward for the failure to hold on to the past. We will lose the future.

Criminal Rothschilds
'The answer to the Kennedy assassination is with the Federal Reserve Bank. Don't underestimate that. It's wrong to blame it on (CIA official James) Angleton and the CIA per se only. This is only one finger of the same hand. The people who supply the money are above the CIA.'
– wife of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, told to author A.J. Weberman
I am one of those who do not believe the national debt is a national blessing… it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country
Andrew Jackson, Letter to L. H. Coleman of Warrenton, N.C., 29 April 1824
Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom (1913), Doubleday
"The Rothschilds introduced the rule of money into European politics. The Rothschilds were the servants of money who undertook the reconstruction of the world as an image of money and its functions. Money and the employment of wealth have become the law of European life; we no longer have nations, but economic provinces." (New York Times, Professor Wilheim, a German historian, July 8, 1937).
"If you will look back at every war in Europe during the nineteenth century, you will see that they always ended with the establishment of a 'balance of power.' With every reshuffling there was a balance of power in a new grouping around the House of Rothschild in England, France, or Austria. They grouped nations so that if any king got out of line, a war would break out and the war would be decided by which way the financing went. Researching the debt positions of the warring nations will usually indicate who was to be punished." (Economist Stuart Crane).
From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.
Winston Churchill, "Zionism versus Bolshevism", Illustrated Sunday Herald (London), February 8, 1920, pg. 5
The people must be helped to think naturally about money. They must be told what it is, and what makes it money, and what are the possible tricks of the present system which put nations and peoples under control of the few.
Henry Ford, My Life and Work, Doubleday, Page & Company, 1922
I am afraid that the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can, and do, create and destroy money. The amount of money in existence varies only with the action of the banks in increasing or decreasing deposits and bank purchases. Every loan, overdraft or bank purchase creates a deposit, and every repayment or bank sale destroys a deposit. …. And they who control the credit of a nation, direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people.
Reginald McKenna, a former Chancellor of the Exchequer, addressing the shareholders as Chairman of the Midland Bank, at the Annual General Meeting in January 1924.
The present Federal Reserve System is a flagrant case of the Governments conferring a special privilege upon bankers. The Government hands to the banks its credit, at virtually no cost to the banks, to be loaned out by the bankers for their own private profit. Still worse, however, is the fact that it gives the bankers practically complete control of the amount of money that shall be in circulation. Not one dollar of these Federal Reserve notes gets into circulation without being borrowed into circulation and without someone paying interest to some bank to keep it circulating. Our present money system is a debt money system. Before a dollar can circulate, a debt must be created. Such a system assumes that you can borrow yourself out of debt.
Willis A. Overholser, A short review and analysis of the history of money in the United States, with an introduction to the current money problem (1936), p. 56
Sarah Palin Schools the Washington Post on History
Posted by Peter Schweizer
Jan 28th 2011
The Washington Post, which never passes up an opportunity to attack Sarah Palin, has gone after her for criticizing President Barack Obama's "Sputnik" reference in the State of the Union Address. Palin noted accurately that what Obama was calling for was "big government" as the solution to our problems. She further pointed out big government socialistic solutions are what in part did the Soviet empire in. Those comments sent Steve Stromberg at the Washington Post into a hyperbolic fit, declaring that her analysis is "weird." But his response indicates that he knows as little about the Soviet Union and Sputnik as President Obama's speechwriters.
Stromberg says that Palin misconstrues Obama's main point that "the Americans who responded to early Soviet success in space exploration by educating themselves and out-innovating the Soviets." But Stromberg misses Palin's larger and more important point about history: Sputnik was really meaningless in the larger scheme of things. It was all hype, and it was basically used by people in Washington to advance their own political agenda. Perhaps Stromberg should have consulted the Post's own archives before he went after her. As Newsweek (which the Post used to own) wrote on the fiftieth anniversary of Sputnik:
Less than a week after Sputnik began orbiting Earth once every 96 minutes, politicians and the press had spun it into a shocking symbol of Soviet superiority that could soon lead to nukes falling on American cities. But far from being alarmed by Sputnik, newly released archives show, Eisenhower and his military and intelligence advisers welcomed it. The terror triggered by the uninstrumented, 184-pound silvery satellite, roughly the size and shape of a blue-ribbon watermelon and emitting an A-flat beep from its rudimentary radio transmitter, had little basis in reality.
Newsweek goes on: "With Sputnik's 50th anniversary this week, we're in danger of getting it wrong yet again, for the supposed lessons of Sputnik are ones we should actually unlearn." Ouch. Memo to Stromberg: Read some history next time. Memo to President Obama: quit the myth-making.
Palin is right: Sputnik was the typical government solution; symbolism over substance. The Soviets did not really create the high-tech communications satellite everyone thought they did, and Washington really wasn't threatened by it. They "welcomed it."
Palin's other point is that Sputnik was the sort of government bureaucratic program that got the Soviet Union in trouble; it's an example of what eventually did them in. Citing Wikipedia (what journalistic ingenuity!), Stromberg argues that actually the Soviet Union didn't have a debt problem until some "thirty years after" Sputnik. Perhaps instead of relying on Wikipedia, Stromberg might have consulted Robert Gates' book From the Shadows which chronicles, in part, his career as a Soviet analyst at the CIA. (Just in case they are unaware at the Post, this is the same Robert Gates who is now the Secretary of Defense.) On page 173, he accurately points out that the CIA knew early on of the "Soviet economic crisis. From the late 1950s, CIA had clearly described the chronic weaknesses as well as the formidable military power of the Soviet Union." Hmmm. Do you think this "chronic weaknesses might have had something to do with excessive bureaucracies and the size of government? Note to Stromberg: you will have to close Wikipedia and actually crack a book for this one.
Intellectual debate is well and good, but if you're going to condescend, you better have something to condescend about. In this case Steve Stromberg of the Washington Post just got schooled by Sarah Palin.
Remember When – Japanese Surrender – Amazing Footage Sept 2, 1945
Echoes from History – It is Happening Again
At the risk of being labeled an incurable doom-and-gloomer, I want to share the contents of an email I received yesterday from a historian friend. He forwarded excerpts from an interesting historical document: the 1920 Nazi party platform, which was authored for the most part by Adolf Hitler. It seems to be coming to pass again with Barak Obama.
12. In view of the tremendous sacrifices in property and blood demanded of the Nation by every war, personal gain from the war must be termed a crime against the Nation. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
13. We demand the nationalization of all enterprises (already) converted into corporations (trusts).
14. We demand profit-sharing in large enterprises.
15. We demand the large-scale development of old-age pension schemes.
16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle class; the immediate communalization of the large department stores, which are to be leased at low rates to small tradesmen. We demand the most careful consideration for the owners of small businesses in orders placed by national, state, or community authorities.
17. We demand land reform in accordance with our national needs and a law for expropriation without compensation of land for public purposes. Abolition of ground rent and prevention of all speculation in land.
18. We demand ruthless battle against those who harm the common good by their activities. Persons committing base crimes against the People, usurers, profiteers, etc., are to be punished by death without regard of religion or race.
19. We demand the replacement of Roman Law, which serves a materialistic World Order, by German Law.
20. In order to make higher education—and thereby entry into leading positions—available to every able and industrious German, the State must provide a thorough restructuring of our entire public educational system. The courses of study at all educational institutions are to be adjusted to meet the requirements of practical life. Understanding of the concept of the State must be achieved through the schools (teaching of civics) at the earliest age at which it can be grasped. We demand the education at the public expense of specially gifted children of poor parents, without regard to the latter's position or occupation.
21. The State must raise the level of national health by means of mother-and-child care, the banning of juvenile labor, achievement of physical fitness through legislation for compulsory gymnastics and sports, and maximum support for all organizations providing physical training for young people.
22. We demand the abolition of hireling troops and the creation of a national army.
23. We demand laws to fight against deliberate political lies and their dissemination by the press. In order to make it possible to create a German press, we demand:
a) all editors and editorial employees of newspapers appearing in the German language must be German by race;
b) non-German newspapers require express permission from the State for their publication. They may not be printed in the German language;
c) any financial participation in a German newspaper or influence on such a paper is to be forbidden by law to non-Germans and the penalty for any breech of this law will be the closing of the newspaper in question, as well as the immediate expulsion from the Reich of the non-Germans involved. Newspapers which violate the public interest are to be banned. We demand laws against trends in art and literature which have a destructive effect on our national life, and the suppression of performances that offend against the above requirements.
24. We demand freedom for all religious denominations, provided that they do not endanger the existence of the State or offend the concepts of decency and morality of the Germanic race. The Party as such stands for positive Christianity, without associating itself with any particular denomination. It fights against the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and around us, and is convinced that a permanent revival of our Nation can be achieved only from within, on the basis of: Public Interest before Private Interest.
25. To carry out all the above we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the Reich. Unquestioned authority by the political central Parliament over the entire Reich and over its organizations in general. The establishment of trade and professional organizations to enforce the Reich basic laws in the individual states.
The Party leadership promises to take an uncompromising stand, at the cost of their own lives if need be, on the enforcement of the above points.
Munich, February 24, 1920.

Senior CIA Officer Says U.S. Losing Terror War
Imperial Hubris, a new book due out next month, argues that the United States is losing the war on terror. It faults senior U.S. officials who have "delayed action, downplayed intelligence, ignored repeated warnings" and behaved as "moral cowards." NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with the book's author, an active senior CIA officer — and former head of the agency's Osama bin Laden unit — who asked to remain anonymous.

Portland's Arts Education & Access Fund
In the spring of 2009, following 22 months of conversations with more than 1,500 citizens, the Regional Arts & Culture Council and Portland City Commissioner Sam Adams published a new Creative Action Plan for the Portland Metropolitan region. Act for Art established a number of goals for arts and culture in the region, including first and foremost the need for a dedicated funding mechanism to support arts education and arts access. A new advocacy organization, the Creative Advocacy Network (CAN), was established to make this goal a reality, and in 2012 CAN focused its efforts on the City of Portland and launched the Schools & Arts Together campaign to support ballot measure 26-146. On November 6th, 2012, 62% of voters approved the initiative, officially establishing Portland's Arts Education and Access Fund (AEAF).
The AEAF, or "arts tax" as it is commonly known, is an income tax of $35 per eligible taxpayer that currently generates about $9.5 million per year. Proceeds have restored arts and music education for every K-5 student in Portland's six school districts by funding 1 certified arts teacher for every 500 students. The AEAF also provides funding to RACC to support nonprofit arts organizations that are bringing culture and creativity to life for every Portland resident. The City of Portland collects the tax and administers the funds, with oversight provided by a citizen advisory committee.
For a summary of grants that RACC has awarded to nonprofit organizations using AEAF funds, click here.
Q: Why is this fund needed?
A: In Portland in 2012 there were 11,596 children attending schools that do not have any art, dance, drama, and music instruction. In 2011 only 18% of Portland elementary schools provide art instruction compared to 83% nationally; only 58% of Portland elementary schools provide music instruction compared to 94% nationally. The rate of decline for arts education in Portland has been shockingly steep. In the last five years Parkrose and Centennial School Districts have cut their arts and music teaching staff by half, while Portland Public Schools has dropped all arts instruction in 22 schools in just two years.
In addition, arts organizations in Portland receive significantly less public support than their counterparts in other U.S. cities. More public funding will help arts organizations fulfill their obligations to make the arts accessible for every Portland resident.
Q: Who pays the new tax, and how much?
A: Every Portland resident age 18 and older whose household income is above the federal poverty level and whose personal income (not including Social Security) is $1,000 or more must pay the tax of $35. Certain other exemptions apply; visit http://www.portlandoregon.gov/revenue/60076 for details.
Q: How much will be raised?
A: The City of Portland estimates that the Arts Education and Access Fund will raise $10 million annually by 2016.
Q: How and when will the money be collected?
A: Individuals file a tax return at the same time that federal and state taxes are due. The City's Revenue Bureau oversees this process and manages all collections. Visit www.artstax.net for more information.
Q: Will there be oversight of these funds?
Yes. School districts and RACC will undergo annual independent audits. Also, an independent citizen Arts Oversight Committee (AOC), representative of the City's diverse communities, reviews Fund expenditures and report the impacts to the public on an annual basis. The AOC meetings and minutes are posted at http://www.portlandoregon.gov/revenue/60089.
Q: How will the money be disbursed?
A: Based on the City's Revenue Bureau annual revenue projection of $10 million, the Arts Education and Access Fund will be distributed approximately as follows:
Arts Education and Access Fund, approximately $10 million
Approximately $6.7 million pays for 68.5 certified arts education teachers in Portland's school districts (Centennial, David Douglas, Parkrose, Portland Public, Reynolds, and Riverdale). Districts receiving these funds are required to maintain weekly arts instruction in grades K-5.
By 2016, RACC should receive an estimated $2.8 million/year from this fund, to be invested accordingly:
- $2.3 million to fund arts organizations that provide arts programming and access for every Portland resident through RACC's general support grants program
- $125,000 for "access grants" to schools and arts organizations that provide arts programming for K-12 students and underserved residents
- $285,000 to coordinate arts education programs across Portland's six school districts.
The AEAF also provides direct funding (up to 3% of net revenues) for RACC to coordinate arts education activities across school districts.
Q: What must arts organizations do if they accept these funds?
A: In exchange for these funds, general support organizations will demonstrate how they are increasing service levels for youth and underserved communities in Portland. To fulfill our obligation to the voters and the oversight committee, RACC has new reporting requirements asking grant recipients for more detail on where their services were delivered, and who benefited. RACC will continue to evaluate arts organizations based on artistic excellence, proven service to the community, administrative and fiscal competence and grant compliance.
For a summary of free and reduced cost admission opportunities to arts events in the Portland region, visit our new our Access to Arts and Culture page.
Q: How and when will the new "access grants" be awarded?
Some arts tax funds are distributed through RACC's Project Grant program. Project grant applications and guidelines are typically available in June of every year, with deadlines in August, and funding decisions in December.
RACC has also created a new grant category, "Expanding Cultural Access" grants, which provide funds to nonprofit organizations that are making arts and culture more accessible to communities of color and other underserved populations. These grants are typically available in January every year, with deadlines in March, and funding decisions in May.
Interested parties are encouraged to subscribe to Art Notes, the RACC e-newsletter, to receive monthly notices of all RACC grant opportunities and deadlines.

David Copperfield is engaged.
The 57-year-old illusionist has revealed he plans to marry 28-year-old French model Chloe Gosselin, the mother of his three-year-old daughter Sky.
Discussing his six-year relationship with supermodel Claudia Schiffer, who he dated for six years until 1999, he said: "Oh, that was a long time ago. Now I'm engaged and in a committed relationship with Chloe in my mind and my heart."
Chloe feels "lucky" to be with David, who she has been in a relationship with for six years, and loves to see the "amazing" bond he has with their daughter.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "David is such a good father. He and Sky are best friends and it's amazing to see how the relationship between them keeps developing and growing. I am so lucky to have found him.
"There are very few people in the world like David. I'm so proud of him."
And the brunette beauty is a fan of her fiance's work, and is always amazed by how "modest" he is about what he has achieved.
She said: "I'm so lucky to have found David. There are very few people in the world like him. He's spent more than 30 years at the top of his profession. He's achieved some extraordinary things.
"People come up to him, tell him they admire him, that he's a role model for them - and he just smiles, because he's truly modest,. It's as if he doesn't realize how smart he is, the talent that he has."

Nothing will be finer than Carolina… Trags Take
|04.06.09 at 2:02 pm ET
National Championship-Michigan State (31-6) vs. North Carolina (33-4), 9:18 p.m. ET, CBS-TV.
They didn't play close to their best game on Saturday night and the North Carolina Tar Heels still dispatched of the Villanova Wildcats by 14 points.
The Michigan State Spartans are unquestionably the darlings of this tournament, if you can be with a 31-6 record and a No. 2 seed in the Midwest Region. They beat No. 1 Connecticut on Saturday and advance to the national title game just 90 miles from their campus in East Lansing. Their official web site proclaims: "One More. Wear White on Monday Night."
One of the more overwhelming storylines of this Final Four is the boost that a national championship would give Detroit and the state of Michigan if the Spartans could prevail.
Roy Williams, the Heels coach, would have none of that talk on Sunday.
"You know if we're playing against the City of Detroit and the State of Michigan, they out number us," Williams said. "We don't have as good a chance at that one. But the other thing is you guys have to understand, we left here (Saturday) night at 12:45. We went back, we had a nice little snack and some ice cream and the kids went to bed. I saw them this morning at 11:00 for 30 minutes. We haven't exactly exhausted the state of the nation's economy in the last 18 hours.
"So for us, we're playing Michigan State. I do realize they have a cause. Well, we also have a cause. We want to win a national championship, period, the end. And if you would tell me that if Michigan State wins, it's gonna satisfy the nation's economy, then I'd say, Hell, let's stay poor for a little while longer. I don't think that's gonna happen. So if all the workers of America come down and start guarding my butt on the bench, then I'll start being concerned about it."
Michigan State has certainly been outstanding guarding people and that's the No. 1 reason they have gotten to this point. They completely took overall No. 1 seed Louisville out of its game, allowing just 52 points in the Midwest final. They never let Jeff Adrien and A.J. Price get into their game in the national semifinal on Saturday. Now, they are playing their third straight game against a No. 1 seed.
Can they do it again against Carolina? Here's a vote for reality and against storybook finishes. Carolina simply has too much.
Here's how North Carolina wins its fifth title tonight in Detroit.
1: Depth. When Ty Lawson picked up two quick fouls on Saturday against Villanova, the Heels didn't panic. When Tyler Hansbrough picked up his third early in the second half, again no worries. The reason for the calm is the number of bodies Roy Williams has next to him on the bench that can come in, bodies that would be starters on most other Division I programs.
2. Ty Lawson. The bum toe of Lawson has not been a factor and the point guard has played his best basketball in the tournament.
3. Outside-in. As Carolina showed in the first half on Saturday, they have plenty of scorers who can fire from three-point range.
4. Tyler Hansbrough. The Carolina big man can match up with Goran Suton. That will be a fascinating matchup to watch.
5. Us against the world. Carolina knows full well what the atmosphere is likely to be. Playing in Cameron Indoor Stadium, in many ways, is harder than playing before 72,000 in dome stadium.
How they lineup:
Michigan State:
Morgan, Raymar…… f
Roe, Delvon……… f
Suton, Goran…….. c
Lucas, Kalin…….. g
Walton, Travis…… g
North Carolina:
Deon Thompson……. f
Tyler Hansbrough…. f
Lawson, Ty………. g
Danny Green……… g
Wayne Ellington….. g
How they got here:
No. 2 seed Michigan State won the Midwest Regional. Beat No. 15 Robert Morris, 77-62. Beat No. 11 USC. 74-69. Beat No. 3 Kansas 67-62. Beat No. 1 Louisville, 64-52. Beat No. 1 Connecticut
No. 1 seed North Carolina won the South Regional. Beat No. 16 Radford, 101-58. Beat No. 8 LSU, 84-70. Beat No. 4 Gonzaga, 98-77. Beat No. 2 Oklahoma, 72-60. Beat No. 3 Villanova, 83-69.
It certainly won't be the 98-63 Carolina blowout in the same stadium back on Dec. 3 but Carolina can handle the pressure that the Spartans will throw at them.
Final take:
North Carolina 76, Michigan State 71
Sounds of the game… Celtics 104, Hawks 92
|04.03.09 at 11:47 pm ET
Rajon Rondo spent the last five minutes of Friday morning's shootaround in Waltham setting up behind the three-point line. He was making them at roughly a 50 percent rate.
Everyone knows that Rondo is the machine that drives the Celtics offense. He's know trying to add an extra gear to the machine that produced 20 points on 7-of-10 shooting against the Hawks on Friday night in a 104-92 win at TD Banknorth Garden.
And as is often the case with the soft-spoken Rondo, it was his teammates doing the most talking about his great game on Friday.
'When Rajon is aggressive, he's scoring the ball and it opens up everything for all of us," Paul Pierce said. "Night in and night out you know me and Ray are going to get out touches but when Rajon is out there getting 16 points, getting layups, knocking down jumpers it just opens up the floor for everybody as you can see, Perk getting lay-ups, Baby getting wide open shots, I'm getting good looks and our offense gets pretty much unstoppable when he's going.'
'It's hard to beat us when a guy like that gets going, you know, he's a wonderful guy, he can do some many things on the court, and when his jump shot's falling, that's even better for our team," Kendrick Perkins added. "So, Rajon is a big, big player for this team, and he goes out there and contributes, and that's what you saw tonight.' Read the rest of this entry »
Did you miss the Celtics? They're back
|04.03.09 at 11:17 pm ET
The last month or so has felt like a long, slow slog toward … what, exactly? The playoffs are not yet quite in sight, but the conference race is all but decided except for what may be a trivial distinction between second and third place. The games, and the injuries (especially the injuries) have piled up on each other, and just getting from one to the next has felt like a trial. Overtime with Miami, double overtime with Charlotte, each win seemingly needing maximum effort and too many minutes.
For a time Friday night didn't really seem like it would be any different. The Hawks certainly weren't going to make things easy on the Celtics because they never do, but then early in the second half Paul Pierce swung the ball to a wide-open Ray Allen who knocked down a 3-pointer like it was a lay-up. It was the old Celtics, if by old we mean 2008.
In the end, a nice tidy 12-point win secure (click here for a recap), the stat sheet looked like this:
Five players in double figures, nobody with more than 14 shots, assists on 26 of 40 made baskets, 53.5 percent shooting and 35.6 percent defensively. Vintage Celtics.
If you had to pick a player of the game it might have been Rajon Rondo who had 20 points and six assists. "He was fantastic tonight," Hawks coach Mike Woodson said. "He was fantastic." You might go with Pierce who had 21 points and six rebounds. "Paul was very aggressive tonight," Doc Rivers said. "They trap and I thought Paul was unselfish." The combination of aggressive and unselfish defines Pierce at his absolute best.
You might tab Big Baby Davis who had 19 points. "When Big Baby is knocking down that mid-range jump shot, it's kind of hard because you over-commit," Hawks forward Josh Smith said. "It's kind of like picking your poison." Somebody asked Baby about that and he said, "They don't believe in me yet," meaning the other team, but they're starting to.
You might have picked Kendrick Perkins who had 12 points, 10 rebounds and seven blocked shots. "If he doesn't make the All-Defensive team it's a conspiracy," Pierce said.
You could have picked just about anybody, which is the whole point of the Celtics. "The extra passes," Rivers said. "Twenty six assists. That's a good sign for us."
This is the way they need to play; with or without Kevin Garnett, and we haven't even really noted the defensive effort that kept the Hawks in check inside and out, and if not for the 31 free throws (sound like last April's playoff series?) this would have been a 20-point game instead of a dozen.
As it was in November and December when the Celtics were steamrolling through the rest of the league, it started with Rondo. Like most NBA teams, the Hawks didn't really have anyone who could stay in front of him and as he drove the lane time and again the shots just opened up. Can't key on Pierce because then Allen is open. Can't try to take away the perimeter because Big Baby and Perkins were doing work inside.
"Rondo's speed was an absolute factor in the third quarter," Rivers said. "You know, we've got to keep him doing that every night. It's amazing how now they're feeding off his speed. They know if they run to the right spot on the floor, he pushes the ball up the floor."
And when the bench came in — essentially consisting of Stephon Marbury, Eddie House and Mikki Moore — there was no drop in energy, flow or ball movement. Forget Marbury's 1-for-7 shooting line; he played fast and when the game gets fast House gets free looks and House doesn't miss a lot of free looks.
There's been a lot of talk lately about whether the Celtics can win another championship without a healthy Garnett, and as any rational observer will tell you, the answer to that question is almost certainly no. They can't. But it's also true that the Celtics won't approach those lofty heights again without playing the kind of basketball they played against the Hawks Friday night. It's defense, of course, but it's also aggressive, unselfish basketball.
"It's time for us to start building some momentum right now," Pierce said. "It's our fourth game in a row that we've won. We want to be playing well going into the playoffs."
Hawks explain Celtics keys to postseason success
|04.03.09 at 11:07 pm ET
Before the Boston Celtics won their 17th world championship and proved 'anything is possible,' the Atlanta Hawks proved something of their own ' beating the Celtics was possible, too.
Despite looking unstoppable heading into the playoffs last season, the Celtics needed seven games to fend off the eighth-seeded Hawks. This season they are even more vulnerable, with injuries hampering their lineup. If the Celtics came dangerously close to elimination with a healthy squad, what do they have to do this season to avoid another first round scare?
'They just have to come out to try to keep focused throughout the whole series,' said Al Horford prior to the Celtics-Hawks game (RECAP HERE). 'I think that after them beating us the first two games here (Boston), they thought that they could just go into Atlanta and take care of it. But they didn't realize what was ahead of them. I think they know this by now. They know they have to come in and they have to bring their A-game on the road too.'
The Celtics inability to win on the road nearly cost them their title. They folded in Atlanta — '[They played] totally different. Totally different,' said Horford — and it wasn't until Game Three of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Detroit Pistons that they finally won away from the Garden.
'They are a lot more energetic, I would say, [at home]. They get up and down a lot more and play with a lot more confidence at home, so it makes them a much better team,' said Joe Johnson. 'I don't think they run as much [on the road]. I just think that as soon as you go on the road, the atmosphere is not the same. You're just not used to a lot of things. But at home, that's where you're more comfortable so you tend to play more relaxed and have a lot more confidence.'
Even if the Celtics overcome their woes on the road, there is still a bigger concern ' the nagging knee injury of Kevin Garnett. He averaged nearly 21 points (more than twenty percent of the Celtics total offense) and nine rebounds per game in the first round against Atlanta. But the Hawks have lost twice to Celtics this season without Garnett and think they can compensate for his absence.
'Keep (Glen) Big Baby Davis confident in his play and keep having Mikki Moore come off the bench and play well like he's doing,' suggested Josh Smith. 'I don't think they have anything to worry about.'
In less than two weeks the Celtics will be drawing up their gameplan for the start of the postseason. While they have three first round losses to the Hawks to reflect on, they may have already learned all the lessons they need.
'Just win, that's what it comes down to,' said Hawks head coach Mike Woodson. 'I think the fact that they might not have homecourt advantage all the way through, when you win a title that doesn't matter. It really doesn't because these guys, they've been through the wars. They went seven with us, they went seven with Cleveland, Detroit gave them a good run. There's nothing they haven't seen so I don't think it really matters.
'They're going to be there when it counts. I promise you that.'
The Answer is done, what was the question?
|04.03.09 at 8:00 pm ET
The Pistons announced today that Allen Iverson would miss the rest of the season because of his ailing back. Left unsaid was that Iverson complained about his role coming off the bench.
This is what Iverson told reporters after playing 18 minutes in a dispiriting loss to the Cavs the other night:
"How many minutes did I play? It seemed way, way, way less than that. Eighteen minutes? Come on, man. I can play 18 minutes with my eyes closed and with a 100-pound truck on my back. It's a bad feeling, man. I'm wondering what they rushed me back for? For that?
"It's a bad time for me mentally."
As a connoisseur of Iverson rants that one rates far below practice, we talkin' bout practice, but ultimately sealed his legacy in Detroit. Iverson will be a free agent at the end of the year and while it's hard to see him having a future in Detroit, it's been something of an open question around the league if this is the last we will see of Iverson. As in ever.
The theory goes like this: As teams look to shed salary in uncertain economic times, it's doubtful anyone will pay an inefficient shooting guard like Iverson the kind of money he has made in the past, and conversely, would Iverson even want to play for the veteran minimum?
Regardless, the Iverson move has some ramifications for the Celtics. The C's entered play tonight as the No. 2 seed in the East and the Pistons entered at No.7, although obviously both spots could change in the final weeks. This was Doc Rivers' reaction to the news:
"I'll leave that up to them," he said. "We'll try to keep our room clean. They're different (as a team) because Iverson has the ball more, and without him, the ball moves more. But he scares you too."
Credit Rivers with the correct diplomatic response, but the Pistons were 24-30 with Iverson in the lineup and 8-9 without him. It's not like they morphed into the '86 Celtics, in other words, but the Detroit of Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and Rasheed Wallace is one that the current C's certainly respect.
Tony Allen returns
|04.03.09 at 7:59 pm ET
With three minutes to go in the first quarter, Tony Allen took the court for the first time since February 8. Allen had been rehabbing from torn ligaments in his thumb that he suffered in practice. He was cleared to play on Wednesday night against the Charlotte Bobcats. He made it as far as the scorer's table but never got into the game.
More boos for Bibby
|04.03.09 at 7:51 pm ET
Nope, Celtics fans still have not forgotten about Mike Bibby's anti-Boston comments during last season's playoffs. I'm waiting for the boos to die down, but six minutes into the game they are going strong. The only difference, everyone forgot their Bibby face:
