|Glen Davis: I love Doc Rivers but wish he would 'pipe it down sometimes'
|01.05.11 at 11:42 pm ET
After the Celtics survived the NBA-best San Antonio Spurs by two points on Wednesday night, Glen Davis wanted to share a different kind of family story – the one involving his head coach.
Following his most productive night of the season in the scoring column, Davis said coach Doc Rivers continues to give him plenty of tough love this season. But Davis added that Rivers is working with him this season harder than ever to get the most out of him.
'He has, he has worked with me," Davis said after scoring a season-best 23 on 10-of-18 shooting from the field. "He's given me the opportunity to show what I got. He is still hard on me. He's still hard. It's like a love hate thing. It's like you love it but pipe it down sometimes."
Asked to describe their relationship, Davis – who detailed his new role as father in December -said it's a very complicated, but effective one.
'For sure father son, like step-son," Davis said of Rivers. "He loves me. But it's like I still love you, but I'm hard on you. It is what it is."
Davis and Rivers got into a heated argument on New Year's Eve when the Celtics lost to the Hornets at the Garden, with Davis missing an ill-advised three-pointer to tie it late. Rivers afterward said Davis was guilty of playing too much "hero-ball."
But then there was the loving part of their relationship, which Rivers clearly showed after Wednesday's dramatic win, not possible, according to Rivers, without him.
"I've been saying it all year, he's been terrific," Rivers said. "Baby has his days but overall, he's had very few of them. He's been terrific all year. He's had a tremendous team attitude in a contract year, which is very difficult. I don't think he gets enough credit for that part of it. The only time he gets himself in trouble is when he forgets he's Glen Davis, and I don't know how you can forget something that big, personally."
Rivers didn't stop there, maintaining the team's 27-7 mark wouldn't be possible without Davis.
"He's just been fantastic," said the Celtics coach. "Our record is where it's at because Glen Davis is on our basketball team. The minutes, playing him at four, playing him at five, he's just turned into a terrific player for us."
Speaking of contract, Davis is in the final year of a two-year, $6.3 million deal, a situation Davis said he's not worried about – for now. When owner Wyc Grousbeck and GM Danny Ainge are ready, Davis will be ready to listen.
"Contract? You know what, I'm going to be honest with you," Davis began. "Do you think about your job? You do, right. Man, I hope I get that next bonus or that next check. You have to think about it but you try to stay within yourself and the team and know that it's going to happen. You have to control yourself. You can't control what Danny or Wyc might put on the table. You just have to control yourself. That's what I've come to realize. You have to keep wishing and don't worry about that kind of stuff."
Paul Pierce is no father figure to Davis. Instead, the big brother can appreciate what Davis has done in Kevin Garnett's absence.
'He's given us a big spark for us playing for Kevin, the things he's given us off the bench as a sixth man, probably the best sixth man in basketball right now if you ask me," Pierce said. "He's doing a lovely job at that, we're asking him to do so many jobs, things that Kevin does, asking him to duplicate what Kevin does, but defensively he's really given us a spark, offensively the way he spreads the floor. I just get on him a little bit, when it comes to rebounding but he's playing great'
|Grousbeck on Rondo's missing headband, LeBron, Wade and Jeff Van Gundy
|10.26.10 at 8:00 pm ET
Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck appeared on WAAF's Hill-Man Morning Show on Tuesday morning. His discussion of the upcoming season touched included some pointed remarks about the new Heat nucleus and about a new fashion twist with point guard Rajon Rondo. A transcript of highlights is below. To listen to the interview, click here.
On the excitement surrounding the opener against the Heat:
'It's caused our team to focus extra hard the whole month of training camp, I'm sure. It's really great that we get to have the opener. I guess we deserve it,' said Grousbeck. 'We're the Eastern Conference champs. It's great that [Dwyane] Wade lost last spring on our court. It's great that LeBron [James] has lost every playoff series he's ever played against us. I hope they're listening. It adds to the pot boiling a little bit more.'
A computer simulation gave the Heat a 70 percent chance of winning the title:
'I wouldn't guess 70 percent tonight. I'd give us 70 percent tonight. I love it. I love Jeff Van Gundy. He's a very nice guy, but he can't stand the Celtics because we keep knocking his brother out of the playoffs and he used to be a Knick. But he said they won't lose two games in a row all year, and they will win 73 games. He's made all these predictions about the Heat. I think that adds a lot of pressure. '¦ Let's start them off 0-1 tonight and see how they like it.'
On the absence of Rondo's headband:
'He's not going to have it on. He used to wear it upside-down, as a real connoisseur would know and I'm sure you noticed, he had an upside-down logo, turning the NBA upside-down. And they won't let him do it anymore. They said they were going to fine him for that. So he said, 'To heck with you, I'm not going to fine it at all.' That's the Rondo headband situation for you connoisseurs of men's accessories.'
|Maybe Wyc can help the C's slow D-Wade
|04.26.10 at 5:08 pm ET
WALTHAM — Celtics coach Doc Rivers admitted on Monday that his team is not trying to stop Dwyane Wade from scoring, but he wants to see more urgency on defense. Wade scored 46 points and made 16-of-24 shots from the field as the Heat beat the Celtics, 101-92, in Game 4 in Miami on Sunday.
"If it were that easy, he wouldn't be Dwyane Wade," Rivers said. "If I can find a guy who can keep him in front of him, we're signing him. Hopefully, Wyc [Grousbeck] has more money to give and we're going to go get him. It's going to be a team effort and one guy's not guarding that guy."
Rivers put his team through a two-hour session — split between video and on-court practice — on Monday. The Celtics host Miami on Tuesday at TD Garden, with a win sending Boston into the Eastern Conference semifinals.

|Grousbeck talks about Davis and Rondo
|10.27.09 at 3:03 pm ET
Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck just finished up an appearance on 'The Big Show,' and touched on a couple of topics, namely Glen Davis and Rajon Rondo (Click here to listen to the complete interview):
Grousbeck confirmed Davis suffered a broken thumb in a recent altercation. Though he did not give a specific timetable for the forward's return, he did suggest that such injuries 'are usually not season-threatening. … It's a broken thumb. I don't think it's going to be that long.'
Grousbeck did say that the team expected to 'suspend or fine' Davis. Noting that the 23-year-old will be out for some time, Grousbeck suggested that the Celtics planned to sit down with the player and determine an appropriate punishment. 'I think we're going to ask him to chip in,' said Grousbeck.
On why they wouldn't reveal what happened: 'I can't talk to him. He's post-operative and I'm getting on a plane. It's just the way it is.' Read the rest of this entry »
|Source: Davis Out 6-8 Weeks Following Surgery
|at 2:49 pm ET
According to an NBA source, Celtics forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis underwent successful surgery on his right hand on Tuesday, and will now be out for six to eight weeks. Davis reportedly suffered the injury in a fight with a former college teammate. Davis re-signed with the Celtics this offseason on a two-year deal worth approximately $6 million deal.
In an interview with The Big Show on Tuesday afternoon, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck confirmed that Davis suffered a broken thumb. Though he did not give a specific timetable for the forward's return, he did suggest that such injuries "are usually not season-threatening. … It's a broken thumb. I don't think it's going to be that long."

|Transcript of Wyc Grousbeck with Dale & Holley
|06.15.09 at 1:35 pm ET
Courtesy of Greg Cameron, here are some of the highlights of Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck's Q-and-A with Dale & Holley this afternoon. (Click here for the audio.)
On if it was painful to see the Lakers win the title: 'It was. Having had the trophy it's always disappointing to see someone else win it. We're going to try and knock them off their perch next year.'
On Red Auerbach vs. Phil Jackson: 'I stand with Red. He assembled and coached his teams. He would even arrange trips to Europe and Russia. Sometimes he'd even drive the bus. His fingerprints are on every single one of those banners.'
On the Celtics' chances of repeating had they stayed healthy: 'I think that's for losers to think that way. I don't think that's an out.'
On Kevin Garnett's rehab/recovery: 'We are extremely excited. He's been in the facility everyday, and most of the team's been there as well.'
Comparing Kobe Bryant and Paul Pierce: 'There are different ways to look at that.
You have to give [Kobe] his due. I like our team and will focus on helping Danny [Ainge] improve it for next year.'
Addressing recently swirling trade rumors: 'What not many people realize is how many calls are made and received throughout the league. We had a starting five that went a record 27-2. We can also offer someone a full max contract to someone next summer.'
On his views of the NBA's salary cap: 'I didn't really care about it as a fan. I wanted to put together an ownership group that would be able to put the best team on the floor and win. I'll go find the money, and we'll go in for another banner. The league has things in place to keep a lot of that from happening but we have a good revenue sharing system between the players and the owners in place. There's a lot of sharing in between.'
On the important free agency summer of 2010: 'There is a scenario under which we could do that.'
On the economy's impact on the Celtics: 'We start with the fans and thank them for their support. I think we have something like 110 sellouts in a row, and the stuck with us despite injuries. We're lucky to have them. They help attract free agents who want to play in front of these fans. We don't want to be smug about how well we're doing; we just want to thank our fans. We're fortunate to also have been able to keep season ticket prices the same for this year.'
On NBA officiating: 'I think they're trying really hard. I can't say it's getting better. Each call and non-call gets looked at by the league and gets graded. Just by studying those figures, there's no lack of effort, but it's not getting better. Why don't you worry about winning and the officiating last?'
On how the NBA does business: 'If there are issues, the league office will resolve it.'
On how much stock the C's put into a player's character before signing: 'It's a big deal. It's good to see the players we drafted out of high school like Kendrick Perkins go to a charity dinner and then later in the evening ask us if it's okay to leave. We told him it was perfectly fine. He left this dinner to work out at 10:30 at night. We tell out players that they're going to participate on and off the court. If not, they're gone.'
On guard Stephon Marbury: 'He did his part character-wise. He lived up to his word that he wanted to be a good teammate. It didn't entirely work out as we and he had hoped.'
On the impending NBA Draft: "It won't be a snooze with Danny at the helm. He's made draft-day trades every year. He's always working on deals that day, so we'll see what happens.'
On Danny Ainge: 'We're all on the same page. He's a busy guy, a great GM. He was a great hire. We wanted Danny and we got him.'
On the coach Doc Rivers' anticipation for next season: 'I received a text from Doc saying, 'Let's get back to the finals.'

Mutation Quotes (13 quotes)
Evolutionary plasticity can be purchased only at the ruthlessly dear price of continuously sacrificing some individuals to death from unfavourable mutations. Bemoaning this imperfection of nature has, however, no place in a scientific treatment of this subject.
Faced with a new mutation in an organism, or a fundamental change in its living conditions, the biologist is frequently in no position whatever to predict its future prospects. He has to wait and see. For instance, the hairy mammoth seems to have been an admirable animal, intelligent and well-accoutered. Now that it is extinct, we try to understand why it failed. I doubt that any biologist thinks he could have predicted that failure. Fitness and survival are by nature estimates of past performance.
In systemic searches for embryonic lethal mutants of Drosophila melanogaster we have identified 15 loci which when mutated alter the segmental patterns of the larva. These loci probably represent the majority of such genes in Drosophila. The phenotypes of the mutant embryos indicate that the process of segmentation involves at least three levels of spatial organization: the entire egg as developmental unit, a repeat unit with the length of two segments, and the individual segment.
[Co-author with American physiologist Eric Wieshaus (1947-)]
[Co-author with American physiologist Eric Wieshaus (1947-)]
Judged superficially, a progressive saturation of the germ plasm of a species with mutant genes a majority of which are deleterious in their effects is a destructive process, a sort of deterioration of the genotype which threatens the very existence of the species and can finally lead only to its extinction. The eugenical Jeremiahs keep constantly before our eyes the nightmare of human populations accumulating recessive genes that produce pathological effects when homozygous. These prophets of doom seem to be unaware of the fact that wild species in the state of nature fare in this respect no better than man does with all the artificality of his surroundings, and yet life has not come to an end on this planet. The eschatological cries proclaiming the failure of natural selection to operate in human populations have more to do with political beliefs than with scientific findings.
Mutation is random; natural selection is the very opposite of random
Mutations and chromosomal changes arise in every sufficiently studied organism with a certain finite frequency, and thus constantly and unremittingly supply the raw materials for evolution. But evolution involves something more than origin of mutations. Mutations and chromosomal changes are only the first stage, or level, of the evolutionary process, governed entirely by the laws of the physiology of individuals. Once produced, mutations are injected in the genetic composition of the population, where their further fate is determined by the dynamic regularities of the physiology of populations. A mutation may be lost or increased in frequency in generations immediately following its origin, and this (in the case of recessive mutations) without regard to the beneficial or deleterious effects of the mutation. The influences of selection, migration, and geographical isolation then mold the genetic structure of populations into new shapes, in conformity with the secular environment and the ecology, especially the breeding habits, of the species. This is the second level of the evolutionary process, on which the impact of the environment produces historical changes in the living population.
The central problem of biological evolution is the nature of mutation, but hitherto the occurrence of this has been wholly refractory and impossible to influence by artificial means, although a control of it might obviously place the process of evolution in our hands.
The Epicureans, according to whom animals had no creation, doe suppose that by mutation of one into another, they were first made; for they are the substantial part of the world; like as Anaxagoras and Euripides affirme in these tearmes: nothing dieth, but in changing as they doe one for another they show sundry formes.
— Plutarch
The process of mutation is the only known source of the raw materials of genetic variability, and hence of evolution. It is subject to experimental study, and considerable progress has been accomplished in this study in recent years. An apparent paradox has been disclosed. Although the living matter becomes adapted to its environment through formation of superior genetic patterns from mutational components, the process of mutation itself is not adaptive. On the contrary, the mutants which arise are, with rare exceptions, deleterious to their carriers, at least in the environments which the species normally encounters. Some of them are deleterious apparently in all environments. Therefore, the mutation process alone, not corrected and guided by natural selection, would result in degeneration and extinction rather than in improved adaptedness.
The proof given by Wright, that non-adaptive differentiation will occur in small populations owing to drift, or the chance fixation of some new mutation or recombination, is one of the most important results of mathematical analysis applied to the facts of neo-mendelism. It gives accident as well as adaptation a place in evolution, and at one stroke explains many facts which puzzled earlier selectionists, notably the much greater degree of divergence shown by island than mainland forms, by forms in isolated lakes than in continuous river-systems.
The secrets of evolution are death and timethe deaths of enormous numbers of lifeforms that were imperfectly adapted to the environment; and time for a long succession of small mutations.
The theory here developed is that mega-evolution normally occurs among small populations that become preadaptive and evolve continuously (without saltation, but at exceptionally rapid rates) to radically different ecological positions. The typical pattern involved is probably this: A large population is fragmented into numerous small isolated lines of descent. Within these, inadaptive differentiation and random fixation of mutations occur. Among many such inadaptive lines one or a few are preadaptive, i.e., some of their characters tend to fit them for available ecological stations quite different from those occupied by their immediate ancestors. Such groups are subjected to strong selection pressure and evolve rapidly in the further direction of adaptation to the new status. The very few lines that successfully achieve this perfected adaptation then become abundant and expand widely, at the same time becoming differentiated and specialized on lower levels within the broad new ecological zone.
We do not know of any enzymes or other chemical defined organic substances having specifically acting auto-catalytic properties such as to enable them to construct replicas of themselves. Neither was there a general principle known that would result in pattern-copying; if there were, the basis of life would be easier to come by. Moreover, there was no evidence to show that the enzymes were not products of hereditary determiners or genes, rather than these genes themselves, and they might even be products removed by several or many steps from the genes, just as many other known substances in the cell must be. However, the determiners or genes themselves must conduct, or at least guide, their own replication, so as to lead to the formation of genes just like themselves, in such wise that even their own mutations become .incorporated in the replicas. And this would probably take place by some kind of copying of pattern similar to that postulated by Troland for the enzymes, but requiring some distinctive chemical structure to make it possible. By virtue of this ability of theirs to replicate, these genesor, if you prefer, genetic materialcontained in the nuclear chromosomes and in whatever other portion of the cell manifests this property, such as the chloroplastids of plants, must form the basis of all the complexities of living matter that have arisen subsequent to their own appearance on the scene, in the whole course of biological evolution. That is, this genetic material must underlie all evolution based on mutation and selective multiplication.

Here are some ways kids can benefit from different meditation techniques.
1. Learning even, regular breathing gives instant stress relief on a moment's notice. The regular even breathing is a bridge that ties body to mind; when breathing is made regular it calms the physical body.
2. Following the sequence within a meditation develops memory and the ability to concentrate.
3. Longer meditations give the body and mind time to relax and center.
4. I found in teaching, that active or hyperactive kids moving in rhythm with the group - such as in the circle meditation or dance meditation - derive a calming effect.
5. Meditation is non-competitive, and each can participate to their own ability with adaptations if needed, or by working with a partner.
6. Meditation can be done individually or in a group setting and it does not need a special place to practice.

The Shrike is a flying vehicle. With default configuration, left-click fires the Shrike's primary cannon, which has a four-round magazine. Right-click uses the afterburner, which provides a speed boost in-flight. In contrast to previous Tribes games (Tribes 2, specifically), the Shrike cannot fly right or left, but the afterburner still doubles as a vertical jet. By pointing directly upwards and then turning (gimble locking), the turn speed of a shrike is greatly increased. It is safe to accidently knock into friendly shrikes as you will take no damage although the physics of the two vehicles colliding will make for an odd break away. Shrikes cannot be purchased by heavy classes.
Shrikes are most often used to chase the enemy flag carrier as it's generally very easy to catch up with a Pathfinder. Hitting a light or non-shielded medium class midair will instantly kill them, and take off a large portion of a heavy's health. Another common use is to destroy Beowulf tanks that are in a particularly difficult place to reach by other means.
Destroying Shrikes[edit]
While there is only a single real anti-vehicle weapon in the game, the Saber Launcher, you can't rely on Doombringers to deal with shrikes by themselves. Shrikes take damage from all explosive weapons, and attacking them whenever possible is highly encouraged. You can often bait the pilot to ram you mid-air; while you may get run over and killed you'll be in the perfect position to land a very hard hitting projectile on the shrike before your demise.
Explosive weapons such as the Soldier's Spinfusor or Technician's Thumper may be hard to land on a fast moving flying vehicle, but Assault Rifle and SMG projectiles can rip them to bits too and much quicker than most people think. By keeping the pilot under constant pressure from rapid-fire projectile weapons you also minimize the effectiveness of approaches the shrike can make. A shrike can also easily go down if the pilot is killed, resulting in a one shot kill on the vehicle. Using the disk strategy requires that you aim where the pilot will be, rather than where he is. However if the pilot is flying straight at you in an attempt to ram you then a single Devastator Spinfusor disc will destroy the shrike unless it is at full health since it does over 3000 damage.
It is possible for a Sentinel to use his rifle to snipe the pilot out of his shrike. This is incredibly difficult to do, but it can be the only way to take out shrike pilots who are adept at dodging explosives.

WooHoo! You all know I'm a TP snob if you've been reading Utah Sweet Savings very long – so I get super excited to find the "good stuff" for this cheap price – plus this gets shipped FREE to my door and I don't pay tax or run the risk of it being sold out at the store. (You can compare to past Quilted Northern deals). Just FYI – THIS is the Stock Up Price on nice quality TP (it's even pretty good for the cheap-0 stuff too).
Head over to Amazon and grab Quilted Northern Ultra Plush, Double Rolls, 48 Count for $21.74 when you clip the $1 coupon. That works out to $0.45 per double roll or $0.226 per single roll. This will ship FREE when you use the subscribe & save check out option.
I know we have been seeing a few TP deals. They seem to run in cycles. So if you like this TP make sure to grab it. We might not see it for another few months (at least).

Soft Flex used in an unexpected way! - Designs by Margo Yee
I have learned over the years that sometimes Soft Flex is used in the most unexpected designs. Margo Yee commented, "I love the flexibility of Soft Flex's Soft Touch wire and use 10-12 feet of it in most of my necklaces because it allows me to rapidly create a beautiful and structurally sound necklace!" Margo Yee will be teaching at the 2012 Santa Fe BeadFest. Her designs are gorgeous and complex. Soft Flex is not just for straight stringing. There is so much more that you can do with it!

Lulu shakes and bakes, leading Cape JV football over Delmar 22-8RG4 Learris Griffin at quarterback
The JV games are showcases for who can play on Friday night, and football coaches, among the least flexible in all sports - lacking the Gumby gene - have to be convinced that a hundred-yard rusher on Monday afternoon is ready for the bright lights of Friday night.
Rasheed Woods, the mercurial running back teammates call "Lulu" because he transferred in from Hawaii, was up and down and sideways the entire game; the players on his bench were gasping as Delmar defenders were faked out of their shoes as Wood danced on air making a living inside the tackles.
And quarterback Learris Griffin, aka RG4, was poised at quarterback, finding Brent Reed a 6-foot-4, 215-pound sophomore tight end for a five-yard touchdown with 1 second left in the half.
Running back William Webb also carried the ball on the inside, proving to be a load to bring down.
Cape's next JV game is Monday, Sept. 23, at Indian River.

What's the story on those spots?
Let's start with the bad news. Everybody knows that acne is most common in teenagers but many people don't believe that it can affect people of all ages. Now it's time to believe it. In particular, the hormonal changes in women during the menstrual cycle or pregnancy can cause outbreaks of acne. Problems can also be caused by the use of oral contraceptives which affect the balance of hormones in the body. The first symptoms are blemishes on the skin of the face, neck and shoulders. In more advanced cases, it can spread down the chest and back. The medical profession takes power over ordinary conditions by using labels. You can use word "spot" if you like it. There must be far more impressive and frightening words found to ensure that ordinary people feel there is something more seriously wrong with them. In this case, there are five most commonly used words:
Comedones – this is the technical name for what you would call blackheads and whiteheads. Hairs on the body and scalp grow out of follicles. If these follicles get blocked up with some kind of lipids, the skin can darken. When the skin rises it goes pale.
Papules – if the blocked follicle is infected or becomes inflamed, the skin will turn red and feel tender to the touch.
Pustules – as the infection takes hold, pus is created which rises through the inflamed area to form a distinctive white eruption.
Nodules – these are solid lumps that form under the skin when the oil-producing glands are blocked. They can be painful.
Cysts – these are like nodules but the lumps are infected and generate pus. This can cause more serious eruptions like boils. Unless these are dealt with well, they can leave scars.
So if a doctor as an authority figure tells you that you have pustules, this reference to inflammation and infection causing pus sounds frightening so you are prepared to pay for treatment. If the same person told you it was a common-or-garden spot and it would go away of you ignored it, you would feel less inclined to reach for your money. Words are powerful tools when marketers want to manipulate their customers.
Does this mean we should not care about acne? Unfortunately, the current culture makes it difficult to ignore it. In the real world, it is not a disease. It does not cause any lasting damage to the body so not treatment is really justified. In the world created by the stories people tell about acne, immense social damage is caused to any individual who rejects the idea of treatment. It passes beyond simple embarrassment and becomes a serious threat to the self-confidence of the young. So, until culture can be put on a better basis, treatment is given. The strongest prescription only medication is accutane. If the other OTC and prescriptions drugs have failed, accutane beats acne. But it is a powerful drug and it should only be used under the supervision of a dermatologist. For some, the price of beating acne can be a very unfortunate side effect. It is always better to follow the guidance of the medical profession if you feel you must take their cures.

The Onslow County school district is looking to hire 30 bus drivers by the end of the month.
The jobs are part-time positions. Drivers work a couple hours in the morning and a couple hours in the afternoon. The starting wage is $12.38 an hour.
Steve Meyers with Onslow County Schools says it's an ideal job for parents.
"It's a golden opportunity to have a part-time job that only requires them to be working while their kids are in school. At the end of the day they'll still be able to spend time with their families." Said Meyers.
Bus drivers must pass a drug test and background check and you also have to get a special certification to be able to drive buses. The school district will pay for your classes to pass that certification. It involves three days of classroom time, and three days on the bus. .The next class starts Tuesday August 6th.

Printer Friendly Version Of
American Sociological Association: Adapting to Change
Adapting to Change
| Where students once thought in terms of one career, now an increasingly complex technological and global economy often requires people to pursue a series of careers. Most young adults will explore more than one option before settling on a clear path, and older students may find themselves re-tooling with sociology after a successful career in another field. A liberal arts education and a major in sociology provide the flexibility necessary in today's employment market. Graduate work in sociology can help others shift gears mid-career.
Solid training in sociology at the undergraduate or graduate levels forms a foundation for flexible career development. The better your training and the more skills you have acquired, the better you will be able to take advantage of new opportunities. Sociology offers a rich source of conceptual frameworks into which the most pressing issues of our times can be placed, and a powerful set of methodological tools with which to study them.

Outside over there
Entering blog time, where the living is energetic but not easy
WORLDMAGBLOG.COM: OUR READERSHIP IS steadily growing, but some WORLD subscribers still haven't taken a look at our daily news content. Some don't regularly use a computer or don't have good internet access. Others worry that if they dive in it will be hard to get out: The interactivity-with readers making comments and others then carrying on an electronic conversation with other readers-can be overwhelming.
That's a reasonable concern: WORLD magazine is very carefully contained, as we try to wrap up a week's news and provide a unified biblical perspective on it. Worldmagblog is sprawling and sometimes wild: We post a dozen or so items per day, and during the first week of March one of them alone, "Thoughts on the marriage amendment," received 156 reader comments. (The entire WORLD mailbag typically has room for about 16 letters.)
This magazine is the apple of my eye and a terrific use of time for busy people, and yet ... if you don't stick a toe into the blog you're missing not only the incisive observations (ahem) of Gene Edward Veith and myself, with occasional contributions from other WORLD staffers, but also our expanding number of sub-blogs: Seven deeply thoughtful pastors and 13 generally thoughtful and often-witty students and young professionals (Generation W[ORLD]-clever, huh?) offer their perspectives as well.
Most of all, since many of us tend to hang out with others who think like ourselves, you're missing the comments that not only Christians but atheists and homosexuals offer-and that's useful in teaching us how to evangelize and how to defend biblical positions. For example, the best argument against same-sex marriage is that God's against it, but that doesn't take us far in a society where most people cite the Bible only when it pleases them, and others scorn God's commands entirely.
Faced with anti-biblical biases, Christians can either give up, or we can build alliances with those who make judgments based on historical evidence. We shouldn't fear that, because one indication that God created the world and mankind is that those who live by the Bible are not only wiser but generally happier and healthier (many exceptions, of course) than those who don't. Blogging helps us to build stronger arguments that can appeal to the undecided.
Here's an excerpt from my Worldmagblog post that started the ball rolling toward 156 comments: "In our American liberty theme park, it's much easier to add than subtract.... How would the marriage amendment expand and protect people's rights? We need to stipulate that marriage is not only about love; it's also about providing the best environment for child-raising. We should explain that we are fighting for a children's protection amendment, since children should have the right to be raised by both a father and a mother. Those who want to change the definition of marriage are taking away children's rights."
Some commenters immediately challenged that with anecdotes about children who are happy with their two dads or two moms, so I was glad when others came to my aid. Michael Sierk commented that "allowing gay marriage will, in the long run, end up hurting more children because it will reinforce the idea that marriage is about the wishes of the two (or more) individuals involved, and not about raising the next generation." Kyle Ambrose wrote, "Children as a whole will be harmed by living in a society in which maleness and femaleness are considered unimportant, and where fathers and mothers are not regarded as essential components of a family."
When a homosexual commenter complained that a marriage amendment would dehumanize him, I learned from the way Joe Hootman flipped the argument: "Ultimately, the vision of the gay marriage movement is a profoundly dehumanizing, mechanical one. What used to be natural, organic understandings of personhood (husband and wife) will be stripped down to portray people as equivalent, interchangeable cogs ('applicant 1,' 'applicant 2'), with nothing to distinguish between them. Any one cog can fit into any combination thereof. It's the ultimate expression of the cold modernism that many folks complain about on so many other fronts."
I won't summarize here the anti-Christian arguments; I hope you'll take the blog challenge and read for yourself, then respond. We write tightly in both publications, but the magazine has a unified voice, while the blog has diverse riffs that sound blended to some and cacophonous to others. We'll continue putting on provocative items, so please try the blog-you may like it.

You probably remember learning in Christian education or world history classes about Martin Luther's objections to his church's sale of indulgences — after all, those 95 Theses helped spark the Protestant Reformation. But at the ELCA Archives you can actually see one of these glorified hall passes that unscrupulous "pardoners" used to "sell" forgiveness.
But more importantly, you'll find what is arguably one of the best archives in the country and a treasure trove of artifacts, documents, photographs, films and recordings that bear witness to the history of Lutherans in America.
For its part, the 500-year-old indulgence in the ELCA collection is an immediate visual reminder of why Luther's insistence on justification by faith (sola fide) matters. Based on its size, "it was probably intended for display on a church door," said Joel Thoreson, archivist.
The indulgence came to the ELCA in 1988 when the denomination inherited the archives of the now-defunct National Lutheran Council (a cooperative effort of several ELCA predecessor bodies), said Catherine Lundeen, archivist. It was a gift from a German production company that worked with the council and Lutheran Church Productions on the 1953 film Martin Luther.

Head Coach Russ Yarworth names four captains for 2007-08 Men's Swimming and Diving Team
April 12, 2007
Minutemen Head Coach Russ Yarworth announced Wednesday that juniors Zack Priest (Cranston, R.I.), AJ Vozella (Weymouth Mass.), and John Weaver (East Longmeadow, Mass.) have been named swimming captains as well as RJ Rappe (Farmington, Minn.) to be the diving captain for the 2007-08 UMass season.
"These four seniors have meant so much to the program. They are dedicated student-athletes who are motivated to lead next year's squad and help us continue the UMass Swimming Championship tradition," said Yarworth.
These rising seniors have experienced great success throughout their careers. This past season, the Minutemen won their sixth Atlantic 10 title in the last seven years.
This year, Zack Priest broke his previous high in the 100-yard butterfly (50.06) and moved to third in the A-10 for the season with a second place finish at the A-10 Championships. He also swam as part of the first place finish in the 400-yard medley relay with a time of 3:21.23.
AJ Vozella ranks eighth all-time at UMass in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 45.99 and 10th all-time in the 200-yard freestyle (1:41.51), both posted at the 2005 A-10 Championships.
John Weaver, named to the A-10 men's swimming and diving Academic All-Conference team this season, placed fourth in the 200-yard breaststroke and sixth in the 100-yard breast at the A-10 Championships.
Diving captain RJ Rappe set the UMass diving record on the three-meter board at the 2005 Atlantic 10 Championships with a dive worth 488.75 points as well as placing fifth in school history on the one-meter board. This season he placed second on the three-meter board (302.65) at the A-10's. His first place one-meter dive (worth a total of 631.50 points) set a new A-10 record. Rappe also placed seventh on the one-meter board at the NCAA Zone Regional Meet.

One of the most common ways to assess your intelligence is to consider taking an IQ test but some people are confused about the accuracy of the IQ test and whether they are good enough to determine the intelligence level of a person. If you are willing to know whether an IQ is actually accurate or not, you need to take into account the personal history or the background of the iq test.
Background of the IQ Test
The intelligence quotient was first introduced by Sir Frances Galton who was a famous British scientist who had conducted this test on certain people and tried to compare them on the basis of their to complete certain work. Keeping this mind, he came to a conclusion that there must be some ways in which one can measure the level of human intelligence. Thereafter, there was another man called Sir Alfred Binet, a French psychologist who devised the method of another kind of IQ test with Theodore Simon. The iq test devised by them included a test for memory, problem solving abilities and reasoning. The tests that they developed seemed more logical and rational as compared to the one devised by Galton. Therefore, the tests that were developed by the latter one were more accurate in the predictions of academic achievements and it is still considered as one of the basic formula for the IQ test that is conducted nowadays. These tests were introduced in US by Lewis Terman and subsequently led to the developments of a scoring system that was new. In this system, a person's IQ level was determined by comparing it with the people of same age group.
The preciseness of the basic IQ test
However, the matter that concerns us the most is the fact whether the IQ test are really precise or perfect and we are often left in awe as how some people in the same class perform exceedingly well while others remain below the level. Sometimes, people who do not perform well in the class may really do well in the IQ tests. However, all this does not imply that IQ test are not accurate but it only implies that some people are more perfect when it comes to the reasoning and problem solving skills. On the other hand, some people are known to have good memory skills. Another thing is that school examinations may not be the right way to judge a person or the intelligence of a person because it covers a wide range of topics; while some topics seem interesting to others, other topics are simply not of choice. This is reason perhaps that some students do not get good marks while others are getting good scores. Those students who do well in the examinations may not have studied hard and those who do really well are probably putting their heart and mind into the same. Therefore, the IQ test is still a matter of debate.
