The Ambush That Changed History
An amateur archaeologist discovers the field where wily Germanic warriors halted the spread of the Roman Empire

(Page 5 of 5)
In all, Wilbers-Rost's team has found more than 5,000 objects: human bones (including several skulls gruesomely split by swords), spearheads, bits of iron, harness rings, metal studs, pieces of armor, iron nails, tent pegs, scissors, bells that once hung from the necks of Roman mules, a wine strainer and medical instruments. Many of these objects, cleaned and restored, are on display in the museum at the site. (Archaeologists also found fragments of bombs that Allied planes dropped on the area during World War II.)
Clunn, now 59, still works, as a staff officer, for the British military in Osnabrück. One recent afternoon, amid intermittent cloudbursts, he and I drove east from Kalkriese along the route that Varus' army most likely followed on the last day of its harrowing march. We stopped at a low hill on the outskirts of the village of Schwagstorf. From the car, I could barely detect the rise in the ground, but Clunn assured me that this was the highest s ot in the vicinity. "It's the only place that offers any natural defense," he said. Here, he has found the same types of coins and artifacts that have been unearthed at Kalkriese; he hopes that future excavationswill determine that the battered Roman forces attempted to regroup here shortly before they met their doom. As we stood at the edge of a traffic circle and gazed across a cornfield, he added: "I'm convinced that this is the site of Varus' last camp."

This battle is significant in many ways. An unconventional force destroyed the best and professional Roman Legionaries by adopting gurrellia warfare tactics. This will remain as magnificent feat of unconventional force 's achievement in the horizon of military history. If Roman would win this battle then we might not have witnessed the British kingdom as their forefather belongs to the Teutonic tribe.

Military biographies tend to be written by the same historic figures over and over again. There are dozens of books devoted to men like Julius Caesar, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, etc. There is a popular interest in such famous personalities, and there are ample resources on which a biographer can base his research. In Eager for Glory Lindsay Powell chronicles the life of an important Roman leader who has been unfairly neglected by history. Before his accidental death, Drusus the Elder was successfully conquering western Germany. He was stepson of Emperor Augustus, the brother of Emperor Tiberius, father of Emperor Claudius, grandfather of Emperor Caligula, and great-grandfather of Emperor Nero. Had he not died so young, his exploits and family connections would have commanded a prominent place in Roman and world history. Eager for Glory gathers the scattered evidence of Drusus' life and presents as near a complete story as can be told. The last person to write a biography of Drusus was the Emperor Augustus himself. Sadly, that text was lost to history. There is no surviving autobiography as Caesar has left us, nor are there full accounts written by ancient historians such as Plutarch or Tacitus. Yet, there are some short references to Drusus among ancient writings. Powell pieced these with his deep knowledge of the the Roman military, recent archaeology, and the general history surrounding Drusus' life. The gaps are filled with Powell's own intriguing theories. This was the Bellum Alpinum (aka Bellum Noricum) against the Raeti. I have seen this war briefly mentioned in other Roman military books, so I was very interested to read Powell's detailed account. Those readers unfamiliar with the Roman, Celtic, and German ways of war are supplied with backgrounds on the respective armor, weapons, equipment, tactics, etc. After the conquest of the Raetians, Drusus is rewarded with a governorship of Gaul.

Reality check: The Romans made many incursions into Germany after this. Recent discoveries abound. Also, Germanic us punished them severely and obtained two eagles and Arminius wife. Arminius later killed by the tribes out of fear. Rome went where they wanted in reality. Drusus even went further. Caesar easily crossed the Rhine and crushed many to near extension. The numerous Germanic fighter never realty could stand up the Romans in in battle. The Celts had a better chance in reality and tried. Celtic weaponry was actually superior to Roman. When Rome was in decline the Roman army was made up of mostly Germans and Celts, who just could not fight like the classical Roman soldier. Reading Caesars,Drusus and Germaincus accounts in reality the Germans did not put up much of a fight. Sometimes running up trees , drowning in rivers in retreat Plus, the Roman army in most battles were always outnumbered. Which usually did not matter. However, certain European writers just did not want to know the truth. Rome suffered more losses in the east part of the empire. Even Jewish rebellions caused much Ramon loss of life.

Arminius (Hermanus)(Hermann) was a Cheruski-Germanic by birth. He was a royal hostage (common practice at the time). According to the rules of the Roman Empire the royal hostages were given the same treatment as the Roman nobility. Hermann reached rank of Roman general. So it is not a supprise that he knew all about Roman army. Hermann was a true German patriot who gave up the luxury of being Roman citizen and returned to his Vaterland to help his people. The battle of Teutoburg forest set up the begining of the German national consciousness and national name "Deutsch" was pronunced as "Teusch" 2000 years ago and it was Germanic way to say Teuton. Every Germanic man who was proud of this battle and feel belonging to these people considered himself as "Teusch" (later "Deutsch").

There is one important point not mentioned in this excellent account of the Roman disaster. The vast area occupied by the Teutonic tribes at this time was different from other areas which the Romans sought to conquer - there were no significant towns or centres of population east of the Rhine. Nor were there any existing roads, and transport of men and materials into the interior by river was largely impossible - particular from the manin Roman bases.
Thus, Roman colonisation was always going to be enormously difficult and hugely expensive, with the ever-present risk of insurrection and guerrilla warfare necessitating an unsustainable level of military support.
It is, I believe, arguable that Roman policy towards 'Germania', in thee first century, would have changed into one very much like that under Tiberius and his successors, even without Teutoberg. Arminius's victory may have just accelerated this process.
Posted by John Parrish on November 3,2011 | 01:09 PM
I am facinated by the various accounts of the Teutoburg battle. How did Arminius organize such a force and strategy?
I think the Romans were led into an ambush and their officers were negligent. It's amazing to think that 15,000 to 20,000 "people" were strung out over such a distance in such a confined area. They were led into a topological trap and were not able to respond. To think that so many people were slaughtered in such a short period of time is overpowering. I do believe that this was an occurance that did infact change political, ethnic, cultural history. I don't think the Romans had their heart in conquering past the Rhine and took the local Germans lightly. But what might have been if this day in history had not occured.
Posted by Donald Richroath on September 27,2010 | 07:50 PM
What I am missing within this article is the the fact that arminius was taken to rome as a hostage when he was about ten years old to make shure his father would behave according to the will of the romans - he didn´t went to rome by his own will.In the story and in some of the comments I read that arminis was a traitor and he planned an infamous ambush.
It is told that Arminius was - after having been raised in Rome - was proud of beeing a roman citizen and a beeing made a roman knight but changed his mind after he returned to his homeland and saw how harshly Varus was ruling over the people he feeled were his tribesmen.
One should not forget that the romans had invaded the home of the german tribes and were trying to change it into a roman province which should pay taxes to rome.
To call Arminius a traitor would mean to call the "Boston tea party" an act of treason.

As I review the history of Roman campaigns of A.D. 14, 15, and 16 by Germanicus along the Ruhr, Lahm, and Ems Rivers,
whats painfully notable are the repeated defeats, ambuses,
forced withdrawls, and surprised attacks that this very
compitant and experienced commander continued to suffer while being on constant guard and very much aware of how dangerous was his situation and his enemy. He was not the fool, and yet he could not beat the thick forest that concealed the enemy, or the decisive skill and ability of what we must accept was a trully superior German commander, trained by the Romans, well practiced at war, and dedicated to a high purpose.

Many historians have addressed themselves to the reasons the Romans set their borders on the Rhine and Danube. The consensus of opinion is that it wasn't because they lacked the ability to make incursions east and north of the rivers, which they often did over the centuries after Varus's defeat, but because they couldn't support their forces logistically once they did and never had any intention in doing so. It also should be pointed out that after AD 9, the Romans experienced their greatest successes, in Britain, Parthia, etc. And, finally, I would like to offer this: The tribes who defeated Varus became Roman allies, Roman legionnaires, even Roman citizens over the coming centuries. Germany was not born by them -- it was by others.

A little battle in warfare history - a huge change in (european)history!
This varus defeat, formerly in Germany teached to haven taken place somewhere in 'Teutoburg'-forests or say better wood/swamp/flood-lands then, was de facto an ambush, as the roman empire experienced many of them over latter centuries. Experiences like that were quite common, and in these acient days this was about the maximum stage of expansion of a empire affordable by roman way of life!
So Arminius was lucky to set his counterstrike almost perfectly in terms of timeline: there was no furhter expansion, not in northern Europe - despite knowlegde of huge landscape toward and beyond Baltic sea, not in the South (northern Africa - e.g. no interest of the origin of river Nile!)
After this varus debacle policy toward outer rims seemed to have changed radically: in northern Germany it caused a retreat westbound of river Rhine, in southern Germany a retreat southbound of river Danube, and in open flank between this natural borderlines, an artificial border - the limes!
It could be interpreted in a way this quite infamous ambush affected whole life, culture, a significant change of self-assessment of northern tribes, a first augury how the decline of this invincible empire would likely take place!

I was riding my bike with a friend today, a student of German history and an ardent Germanophile, and somehow in our meanderings the subject of this battle came up. I said to him that I thought it was, of course, a great defeat for the Romans, but that the lessons drawn from it were often wrong. First, as the above article's title states, the victory was the result of an ambush orchestrated by a trusted Roman ally, Arminius, so what happened wasn't exactly fair. Second, the Romans' response in the years afterward reclaimed their honor, and their reputation, and essentially ended serious threats from east of the Rhine.(Read Mommsen, the great German historian; read the wiki entry on the battle, too -- I thought it was very good.) And third is what this defeat says about the Romans throughout their illustrious 1000-year history -- they always came back, until they couldn't. That wouldn't happen until 400 years after this battle occurred.

Being an old soldier myself I can say that discipline comes from above. During three wars I have seen some of the most disciplined troops take the easy way of doing things, things that they knew better than to do, short cuts ect. They took these "short cuts" only when they allowed by their leadership.
Althought these Roman troops were highly disciplined, it was their leadership which put them in the position that they found themselves. One must wonder, did a centurion go forward to express his concerns? Varus was a politician not a warrior. One would think that Augustus would know better than to do this. But in his defense, look how we fight wars today. Battle hardened generals are often dictated to by his countries politicans.
Posted by Kenneth Chambless on April 15,2009 | 06:31 PM
Varus must have been overconfident, out of his league as a commander and thinking he was up against a motley group of disorganized tribes. Underestimating your enemies ability and overestimating your own capabilities usually leads to disaster and defeat. Great article, I'd love to go visit the site in Europe. I've often wondered where the battle took place.
Posted by Rich Valentini on March 1,2009 | 10:39 PM
This is a fascinating piece of history that almost slipped away and doesn't receive the prominence it should. I remember first reading about this almost 30 years ago in a small entry in an enclyclopedia. One issue that has always bothered me is how these romain legions found themselves in this compromised and unwinnable situation. While the romans were not invincible, they did have a rigid approach to following rules while deployed and on the march. While Varus was a politician first and an field commander second (or more likely not at all) all roman legions had very strong and very capable professional soldiers at our equivalent of the non-commissioned officer level. The professional soldiers would simply not have allowed the deployment of soldiers discussed in the tellings of this battle here and by other sources. When roman legions were defeated (such as at Carrhae or Cannae) but it was almost always due to them being outfought and not cases where they were defeated by failure of adherence to elemental tactics. These histories I believe, but with obviously nothing more than a hunch, are missing something that explains a paradox of how three crack legions were slaughtered by failing to perhaps the most basic rule of marching by roman legions while deployed.

Next year, 2009 will be the 2000 anniversary of this battle. This is the original 911. 9/11/9 AD (11 September, 9) was the date of s great tragedy for Roman empire, but also a sea change in the development of Northern Europe and its offspring, 1500 years later; the Americas. People speculate on what might have been, but history is a one way river, with no regrets, no do-overs and no Mulligans. Germany the infant was born at this site in this battle. The joining together of the German tribes, to fight the Romans, was the beginning of a new stage in the history of the German peoples. From this battle we have the independence of a people, by their own hand, from Rome the conqueror, Rome the enforcer, Rome the Tax man. They proved themselves equal to the Romans in battle. They proved the Romans were not invincible. From this point on Rome began its long decline and eventual demise. Germany began its long ascent. When you see a bumper sticker that says: "Remember 9/11" ask yourself; "Which one?" 9/11/2001 or 9/11/9.

Although it took place some 2000 years ago it is still terribly sad.I have read and re-read the few modern books on the subject and the accounts of Tacitus and Vellius Pater---?(the general) and bits of Dio. It is remarkable that a British officer found the site thro'sheer singlemindedness. All my life I've been interested in Roman history(ancient). My curiousity was sparked one day as a small boy who wandered into a dingy museum in Wales. But I deviate! I have enjoyed reading your account of the Varus disaster. There are,however,unanswered questions,perhaps will never be answered. Why,for example,is no king mentioned? After all Arminius was a Prince? What of his mother? Was his brother, Flavius, a prince too before joining the Roman army. Why did he not join his brother? The river scene seems to suggest that they never really loved one another. Perhaps in those days,however, love never came into the equation...Regards Jeff Adams

Tigers' Effort Falls Short in Six-Point Loss to Division I Sycamores
December 20, 2008
December 20, 2008, Terre Haute, Ind. — Steve Lemasters equaled a career high with 17 points and Tony James (pictured) notched a career-best 15, but host Indiana State hung on for a 66-60 win over the Tigers at Hulman Center.
"I was disappointed, initially, in the first half because we had some guys not ready to go," DePauw head coach Bill Fenlon said.
"We didn't follow the defensive game plan and that dug us a hole. I thought we did handle things better in the second half."
Indiana State held a 33-25 lead at the break before the Tigers closed the gap to 35-34 as Lemasters nailed a trio of three-pointers in the opening five minutes of the second half.
The Tigers were still within one at 42-41 after Mike Moore's layup with 10:55 left, but the Sycamores started a 12-3 stretch to extend the margin to 54-44.
The Sycamores' largest lead came at 58-46 and they still led 62-54 after Jay Tunnell's layup with just under two minutes remaining.
Joe Bergfeld's put back and Tom Callen's layup with 1:05 left cut the margin to 62-58. Harry Marshall hit one of two free throws with 37.3 seconds left to make it 63-58, but the Tigers turned the ball over on their next possession and Indiana State hit three of four free throws in the closing 15 seconds to secure the win.
DePauw's lone lead in the game came early in the first half when it used an 8-0 run to take a 10-6 lead. Indiana State scored the next seven and never relinquished the lead. The Tigers dropped to 5-4 with the loss, while the Sycamores improved to 2-8.
"We felt we could stay in the game," Moore said. "It came down to two or three possessions."
Lemasters' 17-point effort included a 4-of-7 performance from three-point range. In addition to James' 15, Tom Callen added 10. Callen grabbed seven rebounds, but the Sycamores held a 42-27 advantage on the boards.
Marshall led four Indiana State double-figure scorers with 18 and hit 10-of-13 from the line. Tunnell, Rashad Reed and Josh Crawford each added 10 with Carl Richard and Crawford grabbing six rebounds apiece.
Moore and James each dished out four assists in the contest and Moore moved into second place on the DePauw and Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference career lists with 492.
The Tigers shot 40.0 percent from the floor to Indiana State's 47.8 percent while DePauw hit 6-of-21 threes and the Sycamores failed in all 10 attempts beyond the arc. The Sycamores made 22-of-31 from the line with DePauw hitting 6-of-10.
DePauw returns to action on Monday, December 29, when it faces Drew in the opening game of the Tampa Bay Shootout. Tipoff from Tampa Prep School is set for 5 p.m.

AVERILL PARK - Air Force Technical Sgt. Joe Wilkinson got a first look around his new home Monday. It was custom-built to give him more independence, after becoming disabled during a tour in Iraq.
"Being here today it's truly amazing how it all came together, the community unbelievable it really hits the heart," Wilkinson said.
Paralyzed from the waist down and unable to live easily in conventional homes, a fundraising effort was launched to help.
Actor Gary Sinise, who played amputee Lt. Dan in the movie Forrest Gump, played a benefit concert at the Washington Avenue Armory. The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation and local contractors worked to build a 'smart home,' with wider doorways, and easy-to-reach thermostats and bathroom fixtures.
With the touch of an iPad in the kitchen, Joe will be able to lower customized shelves, and get his own dishes.
"Even getting a cup of coffee. Simple things like that. Getting out of his own bedroom. It's the little things that nobody ever thinks about that would probably drive you crazy but now he can do it all by himself," said Lucretia Wilkinson, Joe's wife.
As the community drew together to wish Joe and his family happiness in their new home, Wilkinson said the best gift is their support.
"What the Tunnel of Towers has done is amazing. It just shows that you might get knocked down but it only counts if you get back up.

Height 90-120cm (3-4ft) More info |
Poppy 'Coral Reef'Papaver orientale, Oriental Poppy Customer RatingA chance discovery on T&M research grounds has led to the introduction of this spectacular NEW true orientale poppy. Large vibrant flowers, often 5in. across of an intense and vivid coral pink never seen before in true orientale poppies from seed and rarely matched in the entire flower kingdom. Unlike many orientale poppies available, because it has been bred from seed it has consistent vigour, with many flowers over a long flowering period. Also it is not prone to 'flopping over' a fault with many varieties of this type of poppy. It is a long lived perennial making large plants within 3 years. From a late Autumn sowing it will flower in its first summer, coming true from seed. In a mixed orientale poppy trial the bees had apparently been very active as a red flowered hybrid produced several plants of this vivid pink. T&M's breeders got busy and... Coral Reef was born!

Dear EMMom,
I feel that I must offer a comment as an explanation, of sorts, to the public who view…Read Morey our post. The director of TS is an employee of the EMUMC. Any documents (to which you allude) signed by me, were written per the counsel of the church's attorney. Now, if you would like to continue this conversation, please give me a call at my office.
To the EM community & EM Patch readers,
I apologize for the distasteful turn these comments have taken because they distract from an awesome, child-generated, child-inspired expression of the (for Christians) Christmas spirit. Let me bring us back to the picture of the children at TT with their teddy bears. When teddy bear sunday began, children in EMUMC's programs - christian ed & TS generated something that inspired the entire congregation. Now, adults worshipping with us also bring teddy bears as a conduit of their hugs & an expression of their love, to the children in the Critical Care Unit of NUMC. The program has grown so that this year our Outreach Driector asked groups in the EM community to participate, so we could meet the request for 200 teddy bears. This may mean that the program has expanded to include pediatric recipients beyond Critical Care, as well.
The teddy bears in the arms of the TT children will meet these needs of children who need an extra helping of love and care.
Caring for the teddy bears teach the children to care for others, and we work toward creating a caring EM community & global community in the years ahead.
I commented, in the 1st place, because I love this program; it is central to my celebration of my faith in all that Christmas represents in Christianity. It would be awesome to see interfaith programs with children of all EM faith communities generating & inspiring our larger community. That is why I am enthusiastic about sharing the details of the EMUMC / TS collection.
I am glad TT children collects teddy bears, and I would like all children's programs to participate in it/ something like it. First, because I put a great amount of stock in the concepts taught to children through our Children Helping Children program @ EMUMC (which, of course, includes TS). Secondly, I am an avid proponent of the spirit that children can generate & inspire in us, through the loving and giving of teddy bears. It is so simple, yet so difficult for adults (myself included) to wrap our minds around during the busyness of the holidays.
Let's hold onto the lesson generated each year by the children in our EM community. Allow our children to inspire us to take the time to be caring people, in the midst of our busyness. And, for the sake of us all, let us be enthusiastic about all teddy bear collections & the children who inspire them. Anything less is an anthema to the Teddy Bear Program itself & the spirit it represents, and I detriment to our spirits.

These comments sadden me, that you would chose this page to vent. I put up this post showing how…Read Morethe children are helping other children have a brighter holiday.
I personally have been delivering these bear for the past 4 years with members of the EM Chamber. When I was the Director at TS I asked if I could implement this into the nursery school program and I also collect them at the my Sunday school for the past years. I am looking forward to see the faces on the children at the hospital when they receive these bear from our community. As I said before thank you for letting me help the children see the true meaning of the holiday.

EMMom- Don't waste your time calling the Pastor. I tried that route already after she and Sandy…Read Moreac ted like storm-troopers when they found out that Ms. Mooney was leaving to start her own center. I even went as far to make an incident report of the matter with the first squad. After I spoke with the pastor I felt like I was being treated like an errant school boy. Well after pulling my son from Tender Shepard I thought why subject myself to the time and cost of pursuing a civil matter in Federal Court over protected health information that was released to persons not affiliated with the school. Her behavior now makes me wish that I had started a civil matter in the Eastern District of New York. She is becoming an blight on my community (my children are 4th generation East Meadow residents) I don't know why she continues to spread her ill will here on the Patch and in other forums as well as her congregants in the community. I can't help but think she is offended that the school moved to a Temple. Would she spread her contempt around if Ms. Mooney started her new venture in the Orthodox Church or in a free standing facility?
As a side note through out the entire time including summer camp I never once interacted with Ms. Stevens and in fact did not know that the Methodist Church owned the school. I made my checks out to Tender Sheppard. I had no idea that the Pastor was so interested in the school. I thought that I would have gotten to know her since my son was there 5 days a week. My first and final interaction with her was over the telephone after my interaction with the First squad. Based on her posts here today, I hope to never interact with her in the future.

Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one which has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is the Chardonnay. This green skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape, and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.
The beautiful region of Burgundy in France is famously home to some of the most exquisite red wines to be found anywhere on earth, and is most commonly associated with the silky, elegant and flavorful Pinot Noir varietal wines which are commonly produced there. However, the superb and mineral rich soils fed by the Rhone river, and the long hot summers and mild autumns of the region produce a wide variety of fine grapes, and as such, Burgundy produces plenty of different wines which are equally as good as the produce the region is famed for. The region of Burgundy itself has a wine-making history which stretches back at least two thousand years, and as such, it comes as no surprise that the wineries which fill the dozens of controlled appellations of the region rely heavily on traditional methods and techniques when it comes to producing their famous wines.
It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.

"Inclusion" is about how people experience the workplace. An inclusive leader creates an environment in which as many in the organization as possible, regardless of their "diversity profile," are engaged. Recruiting diverse talent is hard enough. But creating inclusiveness may be even more of a challenge. One solution is to start with the group that offers the greatest "bang for the buck" and practice inclusion on that group.
By Caroline Turner
The term, "diversity," is a bit "yesterday." It brings to mind quotas, affirmative action, and other means of ensuring people in an organization don't all fit the same profile. In any event, diversity alone is generally not adequate. To leverage the benefits of a diverse team, and to sustain diversity, the culture must be "inclusive." The best workplace cultures are both diverse and inclusive.
The standard approach to employee development, management, and even selling is to break tasks down to observable components and expect the factual evidence to be sufficiently overwhelming to convince people of the logic of the need to change. But that approach fails to meet a key need of the receiver of the message. As counter-intuitive as it sounds, training in an understanding of irrationality is needed.

It is important for the coach to focus on the coachee's learning style early in the relationship and find alternate ways to continually engage the learner. To support these principles of effective coaching, an organizing framework will help drive an intentional progression to the coaching relationship. The goal of this framework is to develop and sustain a coaching relationship that enhances personal and organizational value.

Mindset is the underlying beliefs and assumptions we bring to a situation, conscious or unconscious.

There are lost opportunities when onboarding is not used as a loyalty-boosting retention strategy right from the beginning to engage employees the first day they start on the job. All it takes is some careful planning and synchronizing with all of the company's engagement initiatives.
By Roy Saunderson
Most orientation and onboarding programs are manager-initiated or online portal-delivered sets of steps, policies and procedures, and general ground rules to function on the job. Whether it is health and safety guidelines, learning the full benefits package, taking assigned online learning presentations, or signing off on required Human Resources documents, it can turn into a lot of information cramming and a check-box mentality of task completion.
Many firms fail at innovation because they lack the right management capability in the areas of discovery skills, execution skills, and leadership behaviors. The good news is that while innovation is a difficult capability to develop, it can be done.
By Peter Mulford, Executive Vice President, BTS
Does your organization have the managerial know-how to innovate? If so, do your managers know the behaviors they must change in order to cultivate a culture of innovation?
For most companies, in our experience, the answer is no. And the problem is neither a lack of resources nor of creativity itself, but of management capability—specifically, the capability to convert new ideas into value creation. The good news is that building innovation capability is not easy, but it can be done. Here's how.

There are two overriding goals of getting constructive feedback—they are both equally important, and neither trumps or negates the other:

Digital natives have a different set of habits, standards, expectations, and social norms that stem from being raised in a culture deeply immersed in technology, writes Brynn Evans in Chapter 1 of "Dancing With Digital Natives." While their differences may not always clash with non-natives, their work practice is unique and demands patience and compromise from non-natives to understand it and make the most of it.
The following is taken from Chapter 1: "When Facebook Comes to Work: Understanding the Work Practice of the Digital Native," by Brynn Evans.

Your voice creates an immediate impression—and needless to say, that impression must be a good one. Among other things, it's a powerful indicator of your emotional state, including how you feel about your topic and the people you deliver it to. It follows, then, that you must learn to use your voice as a musician would use an instrument, to deliver your message with precise, positive emphasis.
By Laura Stack, MBA, CSP
As a speaker, you communicate your message through your spoken words and your body language. However, the characteristics of your vocal delivery will have a tremendous impact on whether your message lands. The most brilliant message can come across as dry and boring if delivered insipidly, whereas a dull message can come alive if delivered with enthusiasm and energy.
By investing more time in determining the primary purpose and desired outcomes of the simulation, organizations are more likely to be successful in providing on-target learning opportunities for their employees.
By Eliza Helweg-Larsen, Owner and Chief Creative Officer, Andromeda Training, Inc.
For several decades, corporations and academicians have used business simulations to provide a business context and rapid learning environment to increase business literacy and acumen. These simulations have a wide focus, including finance, marketing, distribution, management, decision-making, strategy, teambuilding, and other related topics. Regardless of the specific discipline or topic, business simulations have several goals in common, among them:
So, do your training teams and their business consultants know how to solve a service paradox? If not, they will not be successful with their bottom line, or their clients—not a smart move in this time of corporate and consumer financial conservatism. Business consultants and global strategy experts Atlee Valentine Pope and George F. Brown, Jr., co-founders of Chicago-based Blue Canyon Partners, answer that dilemma in their new book, "CoDestiny," and offer trainers four other questions to ask their management teams, clients, or business consultants.

When life becomes bogged down in analytic thinking, piecemeal and either/or thinking, we lose any far-reaching vision or goals beyond making current problems disappear. This shortsighted approach hinders us with its many unintended negative consequences. In Systems Thinking, the whole is primary and the parts are secondary. Systems Thinking approaches problems proactively and holistically.
By Stephen Haines
With Systems Thinking as your "thinking guide," your journey through work and life will be more clear, simple, and quick. Systems, like ourselves, are made up of a set of components that work together for the overall objectives of the whole. We are all living, human systems and so are our teams, organizations, communities, and societies.
Few workforces are entirely mono-cultural these days, and the challenges of welding disparate cultural elements (whether based within the same office or from offices dotted around the globe) into effective teams are challenges faced by an ever-increasing number of organizations. The key factor when it comes to teambuilding across cultures is to get every member to focus on the objectives of that team.
By Christian Arno, Founder, Lingo24
The presence of talented individuals is important for any organization that wishes to innovate and excel in its field, but good teamwork is essential, providing the bedrock on which future success can be built. The importance of having an effective teambuilding strategy in place is widely acknowledged throughout the business world, with a plethora of resources offering advice and tailored teambuilding services.

I have been working at Pacific Gas and Electric full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Good pay, excellent benefits and that's pretty much it.
Cons – IT senior directors and middle management are completely dysfunctional. 1) No sense of accountability especially in the ISTS department where trouble tickets would sit for days and only worked on by a few dedicated employees. 2) IT Projects are never planned correctly and ends up being descoped due to lack of funding 3) Codependent relationship between Business and IT with most IT managers being pushed around by Business to meet unreasonable deadlines. 4) Contractors are King with some working for PG&E for years. Employees are expected to work unreasonable overtime and being on-call without being compensated accordingly. 5) Thinking outside the box and showing any initiative are always met with indifference and definitely no recognition.
Advice to Senior Management – Need major rethinking around accountability, developing a healthy relationship with Business and especially employee retention -- the pay and the benefits are not enough.

Question by Karin 1 3512 · Jun 29 '11 at 08:29 PM · carcinoid cancer
My mother had a carcinoid removed from her bowel a few weeks ago. Since then they have found more in her body (don't have a lot of detail, parents in Florida) via MRI and doctor told her that at this point they are not cancerous, but will do a monthly "shot" of something (didn't have name for it) as treatment to try to get rid of them. I will be going to Florida next week for 10 days and during that time i'm hoping to help with her nutrition, obviously find out more FROM the doctor (not parental version) and try to get her eating optimaly. Are there supplements recommended? Things to eat, not eat, etc. that I can at least help her with? She's 76, at this point weighs 96 pounds, (6 pounds UP from leaving the hospital), has no appetite but is trying and seems willing to listen to me. If anyone knows ANYthing about this please input. Thank you kindly in advance for whatever bits of wisdom you care to impart...i'm feeling a bit lost, worried, shattered...

We have similar situations. I asked what my 95 lb father should eat to gain weight and it appears protein powder (there are some good ones) mixed with heavy cream. Also bananas. And sweet potatoes smothered in butter. Dad appears to be able to digest these well where as meat has been tough for him to eat.
Also, we put my dad on medical marijuana and eats it in lemon bars they sell at the club. They have been instrumental in increasing his appetite.
My mom had early colon cancer and couldn't eat hard foods after removing part of the intestine. Is your mom in the same condition?
Answer by interrobung 1986 · May 10 '12 at 03:47 PM
If it's a serotonin-secreting carcinoid (by far the most common, and treatment with octreotide suggests it is), she'll likely become niacin deficient (serotonin and niacin are made from the same tryptophan precursor), which could lead to pellagra. Pellagra is classically described as dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death if untreated, but more specifically: red rash and sensitivity to sunlight, often with a swollen red tongue, hair loss, and swelling of extremities; insomnia, weakness, and confusion; hypersensitivity to light, sound, smell, and sudden movement; stumbling, hyperactive reflexes, and aggression.
Consuming foods rich in niacin (B3) and avoiding leucine (excess has been implicated in carcinoid syndrome) might help. I'm unsure about tryptophan ... it makes sense that avoiding it while consuming niacin would inhibit the creation of serotonin, but I don't know how this works out in practice. Dr. Kruse, what's your take on tryptophan intake in carcinoid? Helpful or harmful?
Answer by xyz 567 · Jun 29 '11 at 09:06 PM
She's 76. At this point, your mom no doubt knows what she likes and what she doesn't and knows what works for her.
It sounds like calories is what she needs (95 lbs!) and not a whole lot else. Tell her to eat what she likes and enjoy it; no matter what she does she's at the point where the end is far closer than the beginning. A weird regiment of food management is the last thing on the list of needs.

Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4")
Chrystal OberlohArlington, VAPretty ImpressiveI was at first reluctant to buy something off the internet, but I did and am so glad i did! For years I have blowdried my hair to get unsatisfactory results (and Im sure you all know what thats like) and when i used this flat iron the first time, it not only straightened my hair beautifully, it did it in 20 minutes - less than half the time it took me to blowdry my hair!! I would have rated a 5 star but for the two details that it took twice as long to do my hair when it was damp, and when i used it to curl my ends, the curl is lopsided because of the flat design. So youll need a curling iron and a dry head to style your hair, but Im willing to work around it. This flat iron rocks!!posted Oct 25, 2004Link to this post

I have really curly hair, and it gets frizzy quickly with just the blow dryer. Anxious to try this on a rainy day. Will get back to you. But, I love it!!!!!!!!posted Oct 22, 2004Link to this post
ToniNJExcellent Flat Iron!I dont have curly hair, but my hair does have a subtle wave which gets worse with humidity. I love the look of truly straight hair and my stylist recommended the Solia 1 1/4" flat iron for me. She told me that it is professional quality ceramic flat iron, but it doesnt go beyond the $100 price mark. I dont mind spending $88 on a flat iron provided it does the job well. I have owned a cheaper flat iron, but I was never happy with the results. This Solia flat iron is wonderful. It heats up quickly and it doesnt seem to scorch my hair like the cheaper one did. My hair is silky straight and flawless in a fraction of the time that it took with my old flat iron. Best of all, my hair doesnt get that subtle wave back by the end of the day. My hair is fine/medium in texture and it still feels healthy after straightening it every day with this iron. It has a variable temp control (I use a lower setting for my fine/medium hair), contoured handles which are comfortable and easy to hold and a swiveling power cord (doesnt sound like much, but my old flat iron didnt have this and I was constantly untangling my cord). I recommend this flat iron to everyone. It is reasonably priced for a professional quality flat iron and it really does the job well. I wish I had bought it years ago.posted Oct 19, 2004Link to this post
EvaWinston-Salem , NCExcellent Flat IronIt is the best flat iron that I have ever bought. It used to take me over a hafe an hour to do my hair and now it takes less than 10 min. I highly recomend this product.posted Oct 19, 2004Link to this post
MelissaToronto, CanadaSolia Flat IronThis flat iron is amazing!! I bought one about a month ago and it arrived to my house in Canada in 2 days. The product is great.

Rachel HReno, NvEven In The Rain It Was AwesomeI got my iron yesterday and it is really great, I read the rivies for the chi which I almost bought but I am so happy that I went with this iron, it straightned my hair in half the time. I went to work, slept on it and the next day I got up it was still straight, and then I went out side and it is pouring rain my hair stayed straight- I swear!!! This product is worth the money$$$ I was nervous to spend this amount on a hair tool but I have no regrets and let me tell you I have hair that is impossible to straighten. Buy this you wont be disappointed.posted Oct 19, 2004Link to this post
AmandaIncredibleI love my solia flat iron. My hair is naturally thick, wavy, and frizzy. I didnt think any flat iron would be able to work, but I was wrong. The solia leaves my hair so straight and silky. I now have the type of hair Ive always wanted.posted Oct 17, 2004Link to this post
XueAwesomeThis was my first flat iron--it was both easy to use and fast; takes at the most a minute to heat up and the results last for a long time. This was also my first order from folica..I have not seen anyone ship as fast as them. Theyre like ninjas.posted Oct 17, 2004Link to this post
JobiIt Was Great The First WeekI recently bought my Solia straightener in the mail and i was so excited. So i tried it out the next day and it worked wonderful. It worked wonderful for about a week and then it was a disaster. It fried my hair more than any other straightener i have ever had. My hair fell out it small chunks. And i know it wasnt just my hair because i have been straightening my hair for 4 years now. So if you do buy this item youll love it for the first week but once it fries off your hair youll hate it. If you do buy it, i reccomend you be very carefulposted Oct 16, 2004Link to this post

It isn't into the -- Juliet for this block well it was inevitable that liberal filmmaker Michael Moore would weigh in on the gun control debate.
And it was no surprise that he blamed the -- -- on of all things racism.
I think we're very frightened people I think we've been friends ever since we landed on the shores we're pregnant native people.
Where we we were pretty nervously -- -- -- as we should've done.
Com and and we -- and those -- power know how to manipulate us with fear fear.
Is used to the point where everybody feels like.
Solved why isn't.
One and it really.
What do they think it was gonna break in the house it's little trickle -- -- down the street.
It's OK so he's basically.
Talking about can really -- somehow white people have guns.
I I'm assuming to keep away from black people which is just.
It's so beyond the pail every time he doesn't he just loses credibility.
On insufferable.
And get -- hands.
I have a that they -- when he -- up okay.
-- and he doesn't it and it -- He's part of the problem he's the one it creates the hysteria he -- -- he's not a uniter he's with or putting down this country positive thing to say about.
Americans at all I mean honestly he makes -- -- the worst country the most corrupt the most race says them.
-- yeah and Michael appear.
-- -- Want to what do you what do you think of his comments can actually went on to say you know -- some more slanderous things relax -- people put down your guns on and actually insinuated that white people basically have guns because of black people in crime it's as if white people don't commit any crimes which they do they commit a lot Newtown.
Well you know I mean -- -- to my mind it's unnecessary and I think it introduces an element than that allows people to ignore.
Reality which is you know look if you look historically.
It was efforts by -- to take guns away from black people.
It really you know starts this argument about gun control of the country this came up in the course of the Supreme Court debate in which the Second Amendment Rights were reaffirmed.
But let -- don't we just say when you look at who owns guns it's overwhelmingly Republicans if you look at gun ownership between blacks and whites opposition.
Again -- over LA slightly Anna -- yeah it's that yes they're so inaccurate OK if you want to send Americans believe in.
The right to own an -- they didn't believe in the -- federal loans guarantees and that's inaccurate to -- knowledge you know it's not that did did this acuity yes a disputed Republicans but not overwhelming majority like you sank.
Well Michael Moore is wrong.
White people who own guns are afraid of little freckle faced Jimmy -- on the block at white people who own guns are of afraid of black people breaking in or holding them up white people are afraid.
Of moron he liberals like Michael Moore who think they're gonna get their -- taken away.
Because they have a liberal.
Democrat in office and and end it.
Liberal Democrats in the senate so what -- what people do -- -- buys guns make sure they have -- if it these idiots have their way -- It would take -- way or stops on.
I actually think his comments were a bit racists.
In themselves and -- -- that's assuming that black people commit crime and -- sank -- were afraid like I finally afraid of black -- Michael -- maybe -- -- -- -- I can't stand giving this -- any air time -- why we do because -- -- fifty million dollars on bowling for column but so he's relevant every time -- any sort of you know -- is sort of issue comes up.
But the fact is it's so hard to take him seriously.
We tries to -- this ramshackle you know guy next door every guy.
Meanwhile he's living his matches -- million dollar you know place here in New York city's got his million dollar places out in Michigan and he has body -- million dollars a fifty million dollar network or 25 to 59 and the numbers that I see come -- Yes and and and a he has bodyguards and -- they're guarding him or losing or leaving it -- is not just maybe the Fritz and they'll pass.
I really like and I'm left out but on top of the hunt for more Hollywood chatter Kimberly Matt Damon.
-- -- Havana is saying that he's giving up on Washington DC.
Yes Matt Damon he's saying that the game is rigged boo -- I think he's just trying to get press for his new movie.
Which we're gonna talk about here it's called promise land there's rumors that it was actually funded.
By the United Arab Emirates.
Which is a bit of a conflict of interest considering it's an anti fracking movie but what happened to him.
He's he's not my normal and cool and you still an hour ball he's now he not and you are -- -- he's not that fine he's been really weird lately who.
Matt Damon okay maybe he's doing the Bourne identity supremacy back Eddie gave up that franchises in downhill he's not -- about and he's our audience that he's doing that's -- our psyche stuff I'm totally -- -- -- and now he's not making any sense and now he's upset with Paula because they're not -- that that.
Washington DC and the bomb yeah and they got Vienna yeah.
-- -- -- -- -- Look -- concern that there's too too much government.
And enemies conspiracy in the coming -- -- the game is rigged and beyond -- working man isn't getting a break.
He's I didn't I only got -- it -- It's a natural gas is not easy on -- Tehran about -- -- yeah well I don't opening lower paying his salary is the question on that one big oil to try and kill the -- Isn't that politics -- and that and -- -- -- -- he says Republicans only -- a diskette and Democrats get reelected he just wants to sell movies.

World Infection Prevention Product Demand to Reach $130 Million
Revenues for Contract Building Maintenance Services to Exceed $176 Billion
World Security Equipment Demand to Reach $117 Billion in 2016
US demand for specialty fuel additives will grow 4.8 percent per year to $1.6 billion in 2016, with volume demand increasing 1.1 percent annually to 725 million pounds. Advances will be driven by a mild rebound in petroleum fuel demand as the economic recovery continues to strengthen and by an increase in additization rates due to rising biofuel consumption as mandated by the federal government. Additionally, market growth will reflect continued price inflation due to upward pressure on raw material costs as natural gas prices rebound from their 2012 lows. These and other trends, including market share and product segmentation, are presented in Specialty Fuel Additives, a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry market research firm.
Cold flow improvers will grow at the fastest rate through 2016 due to the increasing use of biodiesel in the fuel supply, a requirement of the EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard 2 (RFS2). Biodiesel's reduced functionality in diesel engines in winter conditions requires higher loadings of cold flow improvers, which will help drive demand. However, biodiesel's high cetane number and excellent lubricating properties will also contribute to a reduction in the use of lubricity improvers and cetane improvers, making them the only additives to experience a decline in volume demand through 2016. Dyes and markers and metal deactivators will also not benefit from growing fuel demand, with volume demand for both products remaining flat through 2016. Dyes and markers will be mildly impacted by an end to EPA-mandated dyeing of high sulfur fuels, while metal deactivator loadings will decrease slightly due to the use of more metal-free additives in fuel. Demand for antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, and other additives will all expand at a moderate pace, due to increasing fuel demand.
Deposit control agents will remain the largest product segment. A previous attempt by the EPA to regulate detergent levels in gasoline actually resulted in a decrease in demand, causing deposit-related engine problems. This prompted several automakers to establish the Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standard in 2004. Deposit control demand rebounded quickly as most major gasoline brands adopted the Top Tier standard. Future growth in this segment will be aided by recent retailer efforts to differentiate their products by promoting the high concentrations of detergents in their gasoline.
The Freedonia Group is a leading international business research company, founded in 1985, that publishes more than 100 industry research studies annually. This industry analysis provides an unbiased outlook and a reliable assessment of an industry and includes product segmentation and demand forecasts, industry trends, demand history, threats and opportunities, competitive strategies, market share determinations and company profiles.

We've been Shelly Anderson got canceled so I'm really -- a stuff to do -- -- -- even show you polls are open right now people are voting in dozens of state this morning.
One of the key issues finding a leader who can reach across the aisle.
At a recent campaign stop in Virginia -- Mitt Romney reminded voters that hasn't happened under our president.
You wanna see four more years with Washington and -- gridlock.
All the way from me just ask the leader over here leader cantor.
What when was the last time you met with the president on the economy and jobs of the budget.
-- -- almost a year.
Is that right yeah it just happens -- us right now from Richmond Virginia you weren't you -- and a leader.
-- more state why is it better so I mean that my students along that is.
Well listen and we went back and checked the calendar and in fact it's been since July -- 2011.
That the president is actually gather the parties together.
To try and you know force us to focus on resolving the issue of this lackluster economy get people back to work.
And again this is what this election is about today.
We need a leader in the White House who understands that you can actually work with people who disagree because reasonable people every day disagree.
But the trick is if you want to lead you got -- insist that people set aside those disagreements and find where you can working common.
For the people that elect us and are looking to us to solve problems and that is what Mitt Romney can do he's got a demonstrated track record bill.
Well I'd I'd tell you it leader.
Cantor I've read a number of books on this administration in this White House and it sounds like.
While the president was was out talking about yeah I'm reaching across the aisle behind the scenes there wasn't so much of that over the last four years.
I mean it's it's true and somehow that that that fact doesn't really get out but -- the the truth of all of this is we can get things done.
But she need a leader in the White House who will stop that did this of rhetoric that will admit had -- we've got sensitivities everybody's got a different.
Difference of opinion or philosophy but we are all Americans and we can all come together.
And we can get this done to get people back to work we've got to solve the problem -- spending.
I mean everyone knows Washington is spending.
A trillion dollars more than is taken and every year you cannot sustain that we've got to do that and we can get this economy back on track I was talking to some of my neighbors a couple of days ago out out in the street in front of our houses we were commiserate about the fact that we didn't have any electricity.
We were talking about the election.
And it was -- I would say that most of people there on my street.
Say that this is about the economy number one but also.
They want to change Washington because right now as you depicted stuff isn't getting done I mean the -- United States is -- campaigning for a year and a half essentially.
You know abdicating the job as a leader.
Well in and that that's where I mean not I came in this morning and anecdotally have -- That the turnouts.
In districts like mine which went.
For John McCain last time is expected to go heavily for Mitt Romney and George Allen the turnout is brisk and the reason it has.
People are tired of Washington abdicating its responsibility of the president the White House not acting as a leader.
-- -- -- one day and their businesses and and their families and households or expected.
To resolve things -- get through the month.
Meeting there obligations taking care of their family members the same should be expected of the individual in the White House.
Absolutely and of course today historically Republicans have a an advantage on Election Day because this is the -- the Republicans generally go to vote.
And you know the early voting generally favors the Democrats.
In the past.
But I'm sure you want as many people go out and vote today and pull the lever for Mitt Romney is possible right.
Not no question and I'm predicting a bigger Mitt Romney win here than what anybody is talking about.
Because I do I see the enthusiasm on the ground here I've been with Mitt Ryan Mitt Mitt Romney have Paul Ryan in the last week.
The enthusiasm is strong here on our side again it goes back to your point.
People wanna see problems.
Are confronted and resolved and let's get on and get America back to work he's the house majority leader he's from Virginia Eric Cantor thank you very much for -- --

Coach: Roster Construction and FIBA Threes
Making Pieces Fit
There are multiple challenges when constructing a roster that can compete for a championship. Besides the salary cap consequences that come with bringing in certain players, there is also the reality of considering how talent will interact within a team dynamic. Fitting shooters with penetrators, ball-handlers with athletic bigs, etc., is an important part of roster construction.
Beyond those concerns, however, is the need to evaluate how a roster will project against the most likely opponents in a given playoff race. This factor is often given less priority in overall roster construction, even though it often can mean the difference between a true contender and a decent but not championship-level team.
An oft-repeated error that people make when watching offseason moves is the over-valuing of pure talent acquisition. While acquiring talent is certainly important, how that talent interacts on the court in a given system (offensively and defensively) and how to place that talent in a position to succeed against likely top opponents is significantly more critical.
One of the more interesting sagas of the offseason has been the roster manipulation of the Brooklyn Nets. The addition of Joe Johnson, the re-signing of Deron Williams and the on-again, off-again potential of Dwight Howard (and even, to a lesser degree, the re-structuring of Brook Lopez' contract) all indicate the Nets were attempting to not only create synergies on the floor, but also put themselves in a position to challenge the Miami HEAT at the top of the Eastern Conference.
The lynchpins to such an attempt were most obviously Williams and the attempt at Howard. These are the two positions on the floor where Miami has the most struggles, and having effective players at these positions means potentially winning those matchups. The addition of Johnson is meant to at least bring the wing position along so it isn't a liability against a team like Miami.
In putting the roster together, it seems reasonable that the Brooklyn front office imagined scenarios where bringing Williams off ball screens that were difficult to switch (Miami's typical tactic) by having the screener be a big, mobile and athletic Howard. With Johnson able to attack weakside closeouts whenever Miami sent an extra defender, this would produce a real strain on their ability to over-extend and rotate.
On the other end of the floor, having a rim protector like Howard would allow more aggressive defense out front. This means the ability to push the Miami offense into even slightly poorer operational areas, which can make a big difference over the course of a game (or playoff series).
The fact that Brooklyn had to settle for Brook Lopez instead of Dwight Howard will certainly change their ability to be successful with the same gameplan. Lopez is nowhere near the roll-and-seal threat that Howard is, and he is mediocre at best at finishing around the rim when compared to Howard. Because he does not really fight to establish position, Miami will not be as hurt if they decide to switch these screens, either. Finally, Lopez is not the shot-blocker that Howard is, and their defense is unlikely to improve a great deal as a result.
In short, the Nets' plan was sound, but in the end they will not be as good as they could have been, and it seems unlikely they will challenge Miami in any of the next few years. However, the look into a team's logic when putting a team together is instructive as other teams take aim at their conference's best squad.
Adjusting for Distance
I received a very interesting question on Twitter the other day (@AnthonyLMacri) regarding what type of adjustments an NBA player may have to make when they shoot threes at the FIBA distance, which is considerably shorter than the NBA three point line.
There are two major concerns for players making this adjustment. First, the FIBA distance is, for most NBA players, one of the worst shots in basketball. This is because it is just inside the NBA line, making it the lowest efficiency shot type in the game: the long two pointer. As a result, many players not only avoid taking or practicing this shot, but they actually practice avoiding the shot altogether! However, any problems are easily remedied for most after a few shooting sessions at the new line.
What is considerably harder for players making the adjustment is the effect the line has on overall court spacing. NBA players are taught to use the NBA three point line as a guide, and to step about a yard back from it to operate. This gives them room to step into catches for shots or attack moves. It also maintains great spacing with teammates, meaning passing angles are easier to spot and defenders cannot crowd areas too easily.
That advantage is taken away with the FIBA three-point line. Now, players tend to move the same distance in relation to the shorter line. This means the passing lanes are less clear, and defenders have a much easier time clogging up areas in and around the lane as a result.
The difference in three-point line distance may not have too much of an effect on the players shooting, but it will certainly have an effect on their spacing. If Team USA comes in understanding these two realities as they relate to the three-point line, then they can limit, if not eliminate, any issues they might have had.
