Bring Attention To Meijer\'s Inhumaity Against Betta Fish!
Did you know that Meijer keeps Betta fish in tiny pint-size mason jars We believe that this is cruel and inhumane. The fact that these fish need to be separated from each other does not justify such indecent conditions. Fish need to move, as they were created to swim! We are urging Meijer to make changes to this condition. The information at http://betta-fish.com.ar states,
Justin Cannon, the host of this petition, is a lover of life. He respects animals, humans, and plants alike. He is often stirred by injustices, and was distraught when he saw the Betta fish in such indecent conditions. For more info on this petition visit http://www.freewebz.com/earlham/beta.html

Lawmakers in Vermont weigh marijuana decriminalizationThe Associated Press | April 03,2013MONTPELIER — A Vermont House committee is taking testimony on a proposal to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bill Lippert says he wants to scale back the original proposal from decriminalizing possession of two ounces or less to one ounce.
The Hinesburg Democrat also says the committee is unlikely to approve a provision in the original bill that would have decriminalized possession of a small number of marijuana plants.
Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn told the panel during Wednesday's hearing that a single marijuana plant frequently grows to produce up to a pound of pot.
He says that doesn't square with the idea of decriminalizing possession of a small amount.MORE IN This Just InCLARENDON Firefighters from three towns responded to a chimney fire that was put out before it...

As suggested in the Post-Swordsmen Survivor game, how about starting the ultimate Wuxia Femme Fatale Game ?
The rule will be basically the same as the one we used earlier in Swordsmen Survivor, as set primarily by GOD (aka Ken Cheng) as PJ put it :P
So here are the rules again and additional rules :
The rules are simple:
1. Either add or subtract a point for a chosen swordsman.
2. You may vote once every five turns; this means that you wait until at least four others have voted before you vote again.
3. The exception is that you may vote out of turn if nobody has voted for ONE hours after the last post.
4. To facilitate the tracking of the scores, please cut and paste the ENTIRE LIST of swordsmen in your post (highlighting your addition/subtraction).
5. For every vote you make, if you add to one swordsman, then your next vote must subtract from another swordsman. You must alternate your additions and subtractions.
6. Any voter who has not voted in ten turns (i.e. nine other voters since his/her previous vote) may vote either + or - for any one character. Voters who vote every five turns, however, must vote according to the existing rule of alternating +/- votes.
7. If either of this condition is met first :
a. When at least 4 (four) [four or more] characters receive more than 50 votes (MAXIMUM).
b. When at least 2 (two) [two or more] characters receive more than 50 votes (MAXIMUM) AND from that last post the game extends another 10 pages without reaching condition a (above)
You must add by 1 (1+) but you must subtract by 3 (3-)
8. When you reach the final four. The game must start for round 2 New Condition will be determined later
Here are my candidates to be included in this game :
Huang Rong
Xiao Long Nu
Zhao Min
Zhou Zhi Rou
Mei Chao Feng
Feng Shi Niang

The Sanctifying Job
I once worked at a ministry where I was evaluated on both specific work goals and on five character traits. My annual review addressed how well I did on achieving certain production targets and whether or not I was perceived to be joyful and humble, among other virtues, in relating to my co-workers. I was doomed. It was one thing to be on time and on budget, but throw godly in the mix and something has to give! Best two out of three was my working theory.
In hindsight, I am tremendously grateful for that job.
As an unmarried adult, my job has been the crucible of personal sanctification. In any other context — say, Sunday church, a small group meeting, or a dinner with friends — I can g…

Nope. After trying my friends Xbox One, I was really impressed. The new kinect is amazing how great it interacts with you. I believe it's worth the extra 100$ to pay over the PS4. You're seriously worried about NSA possibly watching and listening through the Kinect, haha. If it bothers you that much, unplug it when you're not using it. And the specs aren't really better, they're slightly different but are basically the same.

College Park, MD--A student team from the UM School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Master of Real Estate Development Program (MRED) won first place and $15,000 in a national real estate development case competition. Nineteen teams from around the country submitted entries.
The REIDO competition, hosted by the George Washington University Real Estate Investment and Development Organization, consisted of six finalist teams presenting a full-scale redevelopment plan for a site in Rosslyn, Va. near I-66. The proposals focused on three key components: creativity, economic feasibility and design.
In their entry, the Maryland students from the Colvin Institute of Real Estate Development proposed transforming the site into 'Roosevelt Gateway,' a mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly environment with a luxury hotel, street-level shopping and sweeping public spaces. The standout feature was an arching pedestrian walkway connecting Rosslyn to Roosevelt Island - a National Park Service site just beyond the reach of the city.
The MRED team brought expertise in multiple disciplines including real estate development, architecture, urban studies and planning and historic preservation. The team members include Peter Mellen (Team Leader), Tyler Abrams, Eric Raasch, Tiffany Williams, Robert Goodspeed and Malav Patel.
"The students' plan reflects our approach of a 'quadruple bottom line' -- finance of course, but also environmental sustainability, community cohesion and beautiful design," says Margaret McFarland, Director of the Colvin Institute and the Master of Real Estate Development program. "Our students brought a fresh, comprehensive and practical perspective to their plan. It proposes not only a beautiful new asset for the community, but a design that adds space that can be developed, while enhancing the ever-important financial bottom line. That's a winning combination."
The UM MRED team was sponsored by Robert Rosenfeld, adjunct professor of finance in the MRED program and President of JBG Rosenfeld Retail. McFarland and Julie Smith, MRED adjunct professor of property management and President of Bozzuto Management, served as the team's mentors.
Another team from the University of Maryland Robert H. Smith School of Business was also a finalist.
The competition, held on April 5, was sponsored by Vornado/Charles E. Smith and the Gould Property Companies.
The mission of the School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation at the University of Maryland is to advance the leadership and effectiveness of the disciplines responsible for designing, planning, developing and preserving the health and integrity of the physical environment. This is accomplished through integrated education programs (at the undergraduate, graduate, professional and Ph.D. levels), funded research and creative work (in all our fields), and community and professional service. For more information, e-mail us or call 301.405.8000.

Posted: 12:00 a.m. Monday, Nov. 26, 2012
By Marjie Gilliam
For people with arthritis, aches and pains can make movement difficult, which in turn affects how to get proper exercise.
With arthritis, the cartilage that normally cushions the joints is broken down, eventually leading to restricted movement. Treatment depends on the type of arthritis diagnosed and may include medications, heat or cold applied to the affected area or physical therapy.
Research has shown that physical activity can help alleviate some of the pain and discomfort associated with arthritis. One study at Tufts University found that people with severe rheumatoid arthritis could safely increase their strength with a modest weight-training program. Participants exercised for 12 weeks and increased strength by roughly 60 percent. At the end of the study, nearly all participants said they felt less pain, were able to walk farther and move more freely.
General guidelines:
A well-rounded exercise program generally consists of a warm up and a cool down, gentle stretching, light-weight resistance exercises for muscle strengthening, and low-impact aerobic exercise. Start out slowly with small amounts of activity and low levels of resistance. Increase intensity only slightly as you become stronger. If an activity causes pain, stop immediately. You may initially need to try several activities to find one that is suitable.
Water exercise such as swimming laps or aqua-aerobics is joint-friendly and is often recommended for those with arthritis. A typical program targets all of the major muscle groups including the legs, chest, back and shoulders. Pushups, arm circles, leg lifts, and other resistance exercises using surgical tubing or elastic bands can be used.
Allow one or two days to elapse before performing the same resistance training exercise. Pace should be slow and controlled. To avoid accidentally overtraining, even if a weight seems too light, try it for a couple of workouts before increasing. To start, one to two sets of 10 to 15 repetitions per exercise is sufficient.
Stretching helps to keep joints mobile and can be very helpful for those with arthritis. Perform stretches gently, and only after you have warmed up, such as walking for a few minutes. After working out, take time to cool down by doing another few minutes of cardiovascular activity, then stretch again.
When it comes to aerobic activity, low to no impact is best. Activities that place minimal stress on joints include biking, swimming and walking.
The frequency, duration and intensity of exercise can vary greatly depending on the severity of arthritis, making it important to get doctors clearance before beginning an exercise program. Remember to listen to your body and monitor signs of overtraining, including chronic fatigue or weakness, increased pain or swelling, or any other negative response.

Board has questions about identity theft protection fee
"You have a ton of documents over there that have full social security numbers on them that are available to somebody who could do identity theft," said District 4 Supervisor Brian Dahle.
Signed by the governor in October 2007, the bill gives the Board of Supervisors the authority to add $1 to the fee for recording a document to cover the costs of blacking out the numbers. Boards have until June 1 to impose the fee increase under the Social Security Number Truncation Program. The program must be complete by 2017.
However, the Lassen County board wants some questions answered before it imposes the fee.
"I kind of resent the idea that we're being asked to, once again, cough up another dollar to satisfy a state mandate," District 2 Supervisor Jim Chapman said.
"People that I know that have had identity theft would be glad to pay a dollar per copy to keep it safe if it came from there," Dahle said, "because it really screws up their lives."
Chapman agreed identity theft is a serious problem, but he said the state response is too little, too late and the problem will just get bigger.
"If it's designed to address that concern and that threat, they've done a pretty lousy job of doing it," he said. "And somebody needs to say that."
District Attorney Bob Burns said he does not recall ever having prosecuted anyone for identity theft from public records in Lassen County.
Burns said most identity theft cases he files involve someone using a false identity to avoid a warrant arrest on outstanding charges.
The bill requires counties to systematically cleanse the documents "recorded before ID theft became so prevalent," County Counsel R. Craig Settlemire said at the board's Tuesday, March 11 meeting.
Settlemire said the fee is not really directly related to recording new documents.
"When we impose a charge we have to demonstrate that that charge relates to the service that's being provided," Settlemire said. "This is a charge that's going to be imposed on documents that will be recorded in the future to correct documents that have been recorded in the past."
If the board does not impose the fee, the county counsel said, it won't have any way to recover the costs of blacking out the records.
In addition to the cost of having someone black out, or redact, the numbers and create a public record copy of each official recorded document, the bill also requires the county auditor to conduct two reviews to prove the county used the money from the $1 fee only for the SSN truncation program.
Chapman said the county staff is already overburdened.
"So do you use your existing staff to do the job … or do we hire additional staff to be able to augment existing staff to get the extra work done?" Chapman said.
Hiring someone to do the work involves extra costs such as office space, desks and a computer, he said.
Auditor Karen Fouch said the program will generated an estimated $3,000 a year, "which probably isn't enough to cover the costs of implementing the program but the legislation does say that it's a state mandate so there's a possibility that at some time in the future we would be reimbursed by the state for the costs."
Chapman coughed in response to Fouch's statement and said "I hope I live long enough to see that one."
Dahle asked how much work the recorder's office can get done for $3,000 a year and if the county will finish redacting the SSNs by 2017.
"I don't know. We'll find out. I can't tell you," answered County Administrative Officer John Ketelsen.
"If we don't pass the resolution, are we going to have to perform the task anyway and just not collect the bucks?" asked Board Chairman and District 5 Supervisor Jack Hanson.
Chapman said nobody had been able to answer that question.
Supervisors Bob Pyle and Lloyd Keefer said they weren't excited about the idea and Keefer's motion to approve the SSN truncation program died for lack of a second.
Hanson directed county staff to take the board members' comments, express their dissatisfaction to state legislators and bring the measure back for the board for reconsideration at some time in future.
Settlemire said he would research the consequences of not enacting the fee and the actual cost of the work and bring the information back before June 1.

As has been well reported in the Citizen in the past several months, the Bethel Planning Board is considering an application by the Town of Bethel to construct a dog park on town land located behind the Route 2 Shell station and to the south of the Bethel Pathway. The dog park would add to the Pathway park complex which currently includes, in addition to the pathway itself, Davis Park picnic and playground area, Bethel Skate Park, and the Androscoggin River boat access ramp.
A public hearing has been scheduled for Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. at the Town Office to receive citizen input. In order to help those interested to better understand the operation of this proposed addition, I would like to introduce the proposed Dog Park Rules of Etiquette that are a part of the application.
Bethel Dog Park Etiquette:
No dog may be left unattended.
Dogs must be under the control of an adult at all times.
Handlers are responsible for dogs' behavior.
No handler may bring more than 3 dogs at a time.
Dogs must be older than four months, vaccinated, and licensed.
No female dog in heat may enter the park.
Dogs must be on-leash until within the off-leash area.
All doors to the dog park and entry area must be closed after entering or exiting.
Any dog that becomes unruly must be leashed and removed from the park immediately.
No food – human or dog – of any kind is permitted in the park.
Handlers must always clean up after their dogs.
No children under age 7 are allowed in the off-leash area.
Parents must supervise children at all times.
Users of the dog park do so at their own risk.
The Town of Bethel, its officers/officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall not be liable for any injury or damage caused by any dog in the dog park.

Nome Chamber of Commerce Supports ACEP's Geothermal Research
The Nome Chamber of Commerce voted to support geothermal research at UAF's Alaska Center for Energy and Power in recognition of its economic potential in their region.
ACEP has been conducting an assessment of the geothermal resource at Pilgrim Hot Springs in partnership with native land owners and UAF's Geophysical Institute. The research was initially focused on an innovative exploration technique that used infrared technology to estimate the potential power a geothermal resource could produce.Ā
Preliminary results have shown the potential resource to be between 2-4 Megawatts of electricity, interesting the local utility, potential mining customers and a private energy developer who would like to develop the power plant and sell electricity back to the community. In order for the project to move forward, one more drilling season is needed to confirm the output of the resource.
The Nome Chamber of Commerce voted to show their support for the project and its potential economic benefit through a $5000 donation, one of the largest in its history.
'Our Board and Community members have been watching ACEP's work with interest, since the stable pricing and diversity of developing a geothermal power could have significant economic benefit to our region,' reported Chamber Barb Nickels, Nome Chamber of Commerce Executive Director. 'We are thrilled to support this research and we hope our donation will inspire other community and industry organizations to contribute as well.'
The Alaska Center for Energy and Power and their partners were encouraged by the contribution.ĀĀ 'Community support has been an important element of this project from the onset,' said ACEP director and project lead, Gwen Holdmann. 'It has been our priority to work with landowners and residents in the area to ensure they understood and were behind our work.ĀĀ We are honored by this contribution to our research effort and know our project funding agencies will be pleased as well.'
The project, initially funded by the Alaska Energy Authority and the US Department of Energy, received additional federal funding from DOE for this final drilling, however, it was important to the agency to show community support.Ā The final stage of drilling is scheduled to start mid August.

Critical Essays
Zaturenska, Marya (Vol. 11)
Babette Deutsch
An almost palpable darkness hovers over many of the lyrics of Marya Zaturenska, which move from the innocent fairyland of a romanticized child's world toward a place peopled by haunted men and women, and their fearful, august companions, demons, angels, sibyls, gods. Her lyricism lacks the austere quality of Louise Bogan's. That she has read the metaphysicals with a fond attentiveness, the epigraphs and the names of her poems bear witness, as does the tone of those religious lyrics which have the quality of pastels. But her dream-charged imagery, twined with roses and with serpents, belongs to another country of the mind. She may briefly recall to us the forgotten beauties in the old book of nature, bid us "Remember Paradise and its perfect climate," more often she will suggest "the Gothic terror". Her poetry has an old-fangled quality, even as she acknowledges the risk we run when we listen to the voice of the past, or glances at the fact that "disaster lies in wait/For the heart and for the state." (p. 267)
Babette Deutsch, in her Poetry in Our Time (copyright © 1963 by Babette Deutsch; 1963 by Doubleday; reprinted by permission of Babette Deutsch), revised edition, Doubleday, 1963.
(The entire section is 197 words.)
Robert Phillips
It was T. S. Eliot who asserted, "The most individual parts of the poet's work may be those in which the dead poets, his ancestors, assert their immortality most vigorously." In other words, a healthy tradition is capable of modifying itself continuously in the guts of the living, giving rise to fresh statements and new implications.
This surely is true of the work of Marya Zaturenska, whose new book [The Hidden Waterfall] is firmly rooted in the many conventions of lyric poetry, but which startles with its freshness. In her choice of matter as well as of mode, Miss Zaturenska is a true lyric poet—that is, pertaining to the lyre and relating to madrigals, airs, and sonnets (i.e., "little songs"). It is appropriate that one poem in this, her eighth collection, concludes with the lines, "Renewed are the sea's advances./Resume, resume, the old dances,/And the song with the old refrain,/Renew our life again!" It is a book in which the poet literally sets some of the most serious "old refrains" of traditional poetry dancing new jigs. As such, it is pure Zaturenska. The imagination of Miss Zaturenska has never been lured by the fashionable or the trivial. Instead of the topical, she attempts to write of the timeless. Even her earlier poems involving the Second World War (from The Listening Landscape) were banished when she assembled her Collected Poems eight years ago, as if even that event were but a footnote in the...

And the owner is ...
SPRING VALLEY — The new Route 89 bridge project unearthed information that Hall Township does not own the land for Barto, but instead, the state of Illinois does. Mayor Cliff Banks told the city council on Monday this will likely not impact current or future projects.
"It's not going to change a thing," Banks said. "The state didn't even know that they owned it."
The Illinois Department of Transportation discovered the ownership while researching the Route 89 bridge project. For more than 30 years, the city, state and township believed Hall Township owned the property and had given the Walleye Club permission to take care of the area as well as make improvements.

A team of community members are organizing a fundraiser at The Skate King in Bellevue, January 9, 2013, 7:00-9:00PM, to benefit a local community member Camilla Kuhns (aka The Night Baker), who is currently in treatment for an eating disorder that she has been battling for 18 years. Insurance dose not cover the costly treatment and her family is paying out of pocket. In an effort to raise awareness for eating disorders and support Camilla, we have put together this fundraiser.
All profits from ticket sales to the event will be donated to Camilla. We will also be holding raffles through out the night to raise funds. We ask you, as a local business in our community, to help support our cause through a donation of; product, gift card or a service, to be submitted to the raffle. To show our appreciation we will be promoting your business on our website, Facebook and at the event.
We thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions please feel free to contact our donation coordinator.

4K TV, tablets, and timepieces at CES 2013 (week in review)
Forget about 3D TV -- this year's Consumer Electronics Show was all about 4K.
Sony got the ball rolling with the unveiling of new 55-inch and 65-inch 4K TVs, as well as the world's first 4K video distribution service, which offers native 4K movies from Sony Pictures and other 4K content creators. Additionally, the company also said it would be selling "4K mastered" Blu-ray discs this summer; they'll be standard 1080p resolution (not 4K), but supposedly look better than traditional Blu-rays.
The electronics giant unveiled a prototype 4K OLED TV at 56 inches, although little … Read more

Jacek Yerka (ur. 1952) Jacek Yerka graduated in 1976 the Faculty of Fine Arts at Nicolas CopernicusUniversity in Toruń. He specialized in graphic art. During the first few years after graduation he exhibited posters, for example at The Biennial Exhibition of Polish Posters in Katowice in 1977 and 1979, at the international biennial exhibitions in Lahti and Warsaw, among others. Since 1980 he devoted himself completely to painting. Basing on precise painting techniques, taking pattern from former masters like Jan van Eyck or Hieronymus Bosch but mainly on his unlimited imagination he creates surrealistic compositions, particularly admired by enthusiasts of sci-fi in all varieties. He inspired the fantasy writer Harlon Ellison to write 30 short stories which along with Yerkas pictures constituted the publication entitled "Mind Fields". The same American publisher "Morpheus International" released the album "The Fantastic Art of Jacek Yerka". In 1995 the artist was awarded the prestigious World Fantasy Award for the best artist. He exhibits in Poland and abroad (in Germany, France and USA among others), being an esteemed representative of the science fiction stream of art. His paintings have recently inspired film makers. The artist has been invited to cooperate in the production of an American movie "Strawberry Fields" in which his paintings was to be accompanied by the Beatles music.

Summary and Book Reviews
Sea of Poppies: Summary and book reviews of Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh
As the language departs from the concrete vocabulary of vessels and their parts, meaning breaks down, but the speakers forge ahead into delightful misunderstandings with unwittingly bawdy undertones. There is a glossary of sorts at the back, but after a few exchanges, you get the gist – which is just about what the characters themselves get as they attempt to bridge linguistic impasses. Struggling to decode the strange patois, then slipping into its lilts and rhythms, illuminates how malleable language is, how much we mold and shape it to our own contexts and purposes, and yet so often view it as a rigid structure not to be tampered with. The pidgin tongue isn't always easy reading, but it's certainly fun. As Amitav Ghosh remarks in an interview with New York Magazine, "The idea that language is a warm bath into which you slip in a comfortable way, to me it's a very deceptive idea."

Primary care physicians are often the first to see patients with mental health problems and they provide 70% of metal health care to patients. They also write a majority of the prescriptions for antidepressant and antianxiety medications in the United States. This is understandable in light of the fact that physical and mental ailments are often comorbid. But, there may be more to treating a patient who presents with depression than prescribing a pill.

Doctors, especially primary care doctors, love stories. We love hearing them from patients and telling them to one another. "Anecdotal learning" it's called by some (somewhat derisively because it's not science).

Race-Baiters Batting .000 in Trayvon Case
Up till now, the most accurate reporting the mainstream media have done on the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman case has been relaying the fact that Martin had Skittles and iced tea on him when he was shot. At the rate they're going, I won't be surprised if it emerges that he was carrying Pop Rocks and Four Loko.
Here is a partial list of the wild, reckless, irresponsible claims the left-leaning media have made in the Martin-Zimmerman case, every one of which has been rendered highly suspect or outright false:
Zimmerman is a white racist who killed Martin because he was black.
Multiple acquaintances of Zimmerman's, including black friends, testified to reporters that Zimmerman—who is half-Hispanic—isn't racist. Zimmerman comes from a multiracial family and, during the period when the shooting took place, was tutoring a black neighbor's two young children and helping raise money for her all-black church.
Maybe Zimmerman wasn't racist, but he racially profiled Martin and told a 911 dispatcher Martin looked suspicious because of his race. Zimmerman also uttered a racial slur.
In an egregious act of journalistic malpractice, an NBC producer chopped up the 911 audiotape to make it seem as though Zimmerman had found Martin suspicious because he was black, when in fact Zimmerman was merely responding to the dispatcher's request to identify Martin's race. As for the slur, forensic experts enhanced the sound quality of the tape to isolate Zimmerman's voice and concluded, not that he had used the archaic term coon, but that he was lamenting the cold.
OK, Zimmerman may not have racially profiled Martin, but he was a trigger-happy vigilante who shot Martin because of the cover provided by Florida's barbaric Stand Your Ground law.
As Walter Olson and others have explained, Florida's Stand Your Ground law is utterly irrelevant in the Zimmerman case. If Zimmerman stalked Martin and shot him in cold blood, then obviously he didn't act in self-defense. If Martin set upon Zimmerman, knocked him to the ground, and started pummeling him, as Zimmerman claims, then Zimmerman couldn't have safely retreated, which is what Stand Your Ground opponents would have potential victims do instead of fighting back. Either way, Stand Your Ground has no bearing on the propriety of Zimmerman's actions.
Well, Martin wouldn't have started a fight with Zimmerman—he was a sweet, innocent kid.
The night he was shot, Martin was serving a suspension for carrying a plastic baggie with traces of marijuana. Previously he had been suspended for tardiness, truancy, and spray painting graffiti on school property. Martin had been reprimanded for possessing an assortment of stolen women's jewelry and a lock-breaking device. His Twitter account revealed an affinity for gangsta culture, a flood of misogynistic tweets describing graphic sexual fantasies, and the suggestion that he had assaulted a school bus driver. Photos of Martin displayed a menacing figure grimacing at the camera with a grill over his lower teeth.
Martin's school suspensions are irrelevant. He may have gotten into a bit of trouble now and then, but clearly Zimmerman was lying about Martin bashing his head into the concrete.
Police on the scene confirmed Zimmerman's injuries and the presence of grass stains on his clothes. When ABC News released a grainy surveillance video taken in the Sanford Police Station that didn't show obvious wounds on the back of Zimmerman's head, the media jumped all over him and called him a liar. When ABC later released an enhanced video that showed clearer evidence of two gashes on the back of Zimmerman's head, liberals claimed the evidence was inconclusive and that conservatives were playing Columbo. When multiple witnesses attested that Zimmerman had bandages on his head and nose the day after the shooting, skeptics questioned the witnesses' credibility. Finally, last week ABC released a graphic photograph taken just after the incident showing thick rivulets of blood streaming down the back of Zimmerman's head. Liberals have been silent while trying to figure out how to squirm out of the latest corner they've painted themselves into.
Confronted with evidence disproving their claims of discrimination, race-baiters always shift the standard of proof to make their case just one step harder to discredit, so that they get a clean slate from their previous raft of false accusations and must meet only their current, self-determined burden of proof. When that standard is refuted, they cry, "Yes, but…" and move on to the next unmet standard, claiming that all of the previous standards are irrelevant to their case. The logical endpoint of this burning platform approach to argumentation is for the left to claim that, okay, the facts don't support their case this time around, but the problem they are decrying is nonetheless legion.
If the sheer volume of circumstantial evidence exonerating Zimmerman accumulates to such a degree that a majority of the population comes around to his side of the story, the left won't ever admit that they were wrong. They won't take responsibility for the multiple retaliatory beatings across the country incited by their inflammatory race-baiting. Just as they did with false rape allegations against the Duke lacrosse players, the flurry of phony noose-hanging and anti-black vandalism incidents on college campuses, the apocryphal rash of black church burnings, the Tawana Brawley case, and a million other made-up incidents, liberals will simply claim that the charges against Zimmerman were fake but accurate, because they drew national attention to a problem that in fact exists only in their heads.

Coach: Isolations and Actions
Isolations vs. Actions
There have been quite a few debates lately concerning the efficiency of isolations against actions. A few months ago, Henry Abbott of TrueHoop published an article criticizing isolation plays as completely separate from actions. I wonder whether the distinction that Abbott draws in his article, however, is precise enough.
It seems finding ways to get your best scorers an opportunity to play one-on-one basketball is, on the whole, a positive play. The key, however, is creating a true one-on-one situation. Successful isolation basketball can be achieved if an action is employed that creates misdirection, preventing help defenders from clogging the lane.
Far too many times, isolations involve a clear out, catch on the wing and four teammates standing still on the weakside as a prime scorer goes to work. Knowing that he has help behind him, the defender assumes a posture that encourages the offensive player to attack toward the help. Occasionally, the scorer makes an absolutely sublime move and finishes a play that leaves everyone astonished. The play makes highlight reels, and fans can't stop saying enough about how that player transcends the game. Most of the time, however, the play results in a poor shot that is missed or a turnover. Those plays, less than memorable, are forgotten.
However, isolations can also come as a result of actions. In these circumstances, the scorer moves off a screen, or is a screener who then opens up. At the same time, actions on the other side of the floor keep defenders honest, preventing them from clogging the lane or settling into a help position. The offensive player still catches the ball in the prime operational area, but his teammates movement and off-ball action occupy their defenders, and a true one-on-one situation is created.
These plays are still isolations, but they come as a result of actions. In Abbott's article, he compares isolations to cuts off the ball, ball screen actions, transition plays and put-backs. Some teams do a better job than others at creating isolations out of actions than others. A prime example is the San Antonio Spurs. Gregg Popovich finds great one-on-one situations for both Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli regularly. The Boston Celtics are also adept at creating these opportunities, often finding Pierce in the pinch post, a basket cut from Rajon Rondo and a weakside flare screen for Ray Allen, all while Pierce goes to work.
The real takeaway is to understand that it's not that an isolation itself is bad, but rather the way a team sets up and executes the isolation that ultimately matters.
Variance and the Philadelphia 76ers
In my life away from the court, I spend a fair amount of time studying and playing poker. The game fascinates me and I enjoy both the strategic element and, honestly, the gamble involved as well. Learning about poker has helped me to understand basketball on a much deeper level, as I think most games have significant parallels when it comes to the employment of advanced statistical analysis of game play.
In poker, variance is the reality that a given action can have a whole host of outcomes based on the chance involved. There may be a statistically correct play, but the outcome is not predetermined, and a player must accept that fact: there is an element of chance in any action.
The same is true in a different way on the basketball court. A player can start the year shooting extremely well, and sometimes a player and his coaches believe that to be his new permanent shooting percentage, only for the second half of the year to happen (and variance kicks in). The idea here is that a player is rarely as good as when he is playing well, and just as rarely as bad as when things aren't going as planned.
The Philadelphia 76ers have experienced the effects of variance (and reversion to a mean) over the course of this season. Their easy early schedule, combined with torrid shooting, allowed them to run roughshod over the league to start the year. As their shooting cooled, however, it exposed other problems that were present under the surface. The team as a whole (and some of the individual players) allowed their suddenly mediocre shooting affect the rest of their gameplan, and their confidence in themselves and one another (this might be akin to the poker term, "tilt," though that would be a topic for a different article).
In the end, the 76ers seem to be the kind of team whose reversion to the mean will destroy their season. The reality is, they are not as bad (from a talent perspective) as their current play would indicate. But they are also not as good as things looked to start the year. In reality, over a long NBA season, their record will tell the tale of the team they are: just at or maybe slightly over .500 – score one for variance.
