The lack of points and high-percentage shots in transition in Sunday's loss to the Kings demonstrates the limitations of the Wizards on offense.
When asked about the Wizards' woes against the Kings, Randy Wittman said his team lost focus on the defensive game plan.
Only Bradley Beal and Nene scored in double figures among the starters as the Wizards were thoroughly dominated for their second consecutive loss.
John Wall and Bradley Beal team up for a nice transition slam.
The Wizards are taking advantage of an overlooked aspect of the NBA schedule. Watch Wizards-Kings tonight at 5:30 p.m. on CSN and CSNwashington.com.

Major League Baseball has hired openly gay former outfielder Billy Bean as their new Ambassador For Inclusion, who will reportedly handle diversity issues and help end homophobia in in their ballclubs.
Mr. Bean will visit all 30 MLB teams within the next year and talk with players, coaches and executives about ways they can end homophobia in the league, Outsports reported.
"It's ironic that I am returning to baseball to help erase the same reason I left," said Mr. Bean, who left baseball in 1995 and came out as gay four years later.
"I was a young man, so confused and hurting inside trying to juggle a life of deception, and play in the major leagues while in the closet," he told Outsports. "The greatest mistake of my life was my own inability to believe or trust that I could reach out to someone and ask for some help. It was a different time, and for many of us, it wasn't easy. However, the hard work of so many brave people that came before me and during the past decade is paying dividends."
The former ballplayer said he wants the MLB to be a model for inclusion.
"I want this generation's coming out stories to be uplifting, happy, and inspire others to be who they are, and fulfill their true potential. At the end of the day, it's all about giving everyone the best chance to succeed, to play free of burden," he told Outsports.
"Moving forward, I will make it my mission that no other athlete ever has to make that same mistake I made in silence again," he said. "They will know that they are embraced as a member of the MLB family, and there are resources for them, they just need to utilize them or reach out."

It is likely that Lewis is not even the first victim of such a mistake resulting from bureaucratic carelessness, and he will assuredly not be the last. "When the State Police called to tell us they made a mistake and had the wrong person…it became clear that the State did not do their job here, and now we all look foolish," Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs said in a statement released following the revelation that Lewis was an innocent victim. "Until the mental health provisions [in the SAFE Act] are fixed, these mistakes will continue to happen."
One crucial fact lost in the emotional debate over mass gun violence is the fact that as tragic as these incidents are, mass shootings are statistically rare; and using such incidents as the foundation for limiting a fundamental individual liberty is never sound policy. Lost on state legislators like those in New York (and now, also in Colorado and Connecticut) is the principle that basic, constitutionally-guaranteed rights enjoyed by all law-abiding citizens, are never to be sacrificed as the price to pay for catching those few individuals who either abuse such rights or are in fact crazy, like the gunman at Sandy Hook. Yet, state legislators push on doing precisely that.
In their zeal to "do something" in response to the Sandy Hook shootings, legislators also appear to be stereotyping people who suffer from anxiety or other personality disorders, as all being potential powder kegs for violence. This has become an issue in the analysis of the Newtown incident, after it was revealed the shooter suffered from autism. "Not only was [Autism Spectrum Disorder] suggested as the reasoning behind this planned attack, it was singled out in national and local headlines," the National Autism Association said in a statement released days after the shooting. "As advocates, we now face the additional fear that children and adults with Autism may become collateral damage of irresponsible media coverage."
As we now see with the SAFE Act, this vulnerable class may become collateral damage of irresponsible legislation.
As I've written before, there is little doubt that mental health is a major risk factor in mass shooting tragedies. Unfortunately, it is a factor that goes largely unaddressed in favor of tackling easier red herrings, such as "gun control," which not only furthers the anti-gun agenda favored by the Administration of Barack Obama and most Democrats in the Congress, but also looks good in the eyes of liberal constituents (and donors) come election years.
However, confronting the role of mental health in mass shootings requires reason, finesse, and a high threshold for respecting both Second Amendment and patient privacy rights. This is where the focus ought to be, from both a constitutional perspective and from the standpoint of getting something done that will actually help prevent future Adam Lanzas. Unfortunately, many state legislators seem blithely ignorant or uncaring about this reality.

"Good, but the series is getting forced."
Basically I liked the book and the narration. DeMille is a good writer, and that alone is worth a star in today's best seller market. It's a decent thriller with a timely and almost believable premise couched in humorous writing with a couple of charming protagonists and some wickedly psycho bad guys. I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't found John Corey and Kate Mayfield yet.
A couple of criticisms, though. John Corey is famous for his sarcastic humor, but it has become a bit forced. He's still funny, but in the "The Lion's Game" his humor was his defense in the complicated flow of the story. Here he often seems like a stand-up comedian, telling jokes just to be funny. At worst, he seems like a bully with his constant sarcasm, and that was not part of him in "The Lion's Game." The writer is trying too hard to accentuate what made John Corey popular, and losing some of the character's complexity and gravitas in the process.
Also, the bad guy is believable, and somewhat original once past another billionaire-reshaping-the-world cliche, but DeMille at times seems disturbingly sympathetic to his more racist rants,and has his protagonists agreeing with things no hero should agree with.
So it's forced, and maybe a bit out of touch with the moral compass, and the characters aren't impressively complex, but the prose is great, the humor is enjoyable, and the suspense lasts until the final moments. And there are some emotionally satisfying moments of tenderness and revenge, and even a couple of viable moral dilemmas.
Overall, a good read, a good listen--the narrator is brilliant--and the flaws are more warning signs for future John Corey books than fatal weaknesses in this one. On the other hand, if you haven't read a John Corey novel yet, start with "The Lion's Game."
I love Audible and I love books. What more can I say?
"Great Listen"
The combination of DeMille and Scott Brick has developed one of the most engaging teams in popular fiction. John Corey and Kate Mayfield. This fast-paced mystery is pure fiction, but works as plausible in our time. But more importantly, from a listener's standpoint, the combination of a top-notch thriller and the wit in DeMille's writing, aided by Scott Brick's perfect narrative, we are given an immensly enjoyable 18 hours of audiobook listening. If you loved The Lion's Game, you will love this reading too. DeMille is at the top of his writing skills, too bad it will probably be 2 or 3 years before we have a new book again. this book is worth multiple listens - not something you find very often in a purchase.
"Typical DeMille"
This is an extension of the previous John Corey stories. Corey's leaps of deduction strain credibility but it is a fun read. A familiar plot whereby one person has all the blinding insight and shares little with his colleagues or boss then goes on, with the aid of his wife, to defeat the forces of evil. Hey, its fiction and its fun! Scott Brick, as always, does a good job with the narration.
"Corey and Mayfield at it again"
Having quite high expectations after listening to both Night fall and Lions game, I can't help but to feel a little disappointed. The story, although built on an interesting idea, just doesn't have the tensity and spark, for a lack of a better word, as the previous two had.
Mind you, the first two books are on my top 5 favorites list on Audible so Wild fire had a high standard to live up to.
"Four Out Of Five"
By the time I listened to WildFire, I had been on a DeMille/John Corey Marathon. I was excited that there was another suspenseful installment to get my hands on!
Like other DeMille novels, there was suspense, plot twists, blurry lines between fact and fiction, and enough detail provided to the reader that there was no doubt that DeMille would make any researcher proud. Couple this with John Corey's mind + some great laughs... and you have another hit.
I gave this book 4/5 stars because I found some of the Custer Hill Club discussion and dialog to be a little repetitive and a bit unrealistic. That aside, all in all - this is a fine book - and as usual, Scott Brick ( my favorite narrator) is brilliant!
"Ugh! Sophomoric & Strained Dialog"
I am a big DeMille fan, but this one falls short. I suspect that the abridged version may be better than the unabridged, if they cut much of the cutesy, inappropriate, stilted dialog. The premise of the book is very intriguing, but it became boorish and the dialog detracted from the suspense. If just the FU's were deleted, it would probably be 2 disks shorter, take out the sophomoric wise cracks and maybe 4 more would come out. Then, you'd have a good listen.
Scott Brick, was excellent, again.
"Wild Conspiracy"
Let me say that DeMille to this point has been my favorite Audible author. Lion's game, Night Fall and Up Country, in my opinion are the best that Audible has to offer. Scott Brick is, hands down, the best narrator around and when these two have combine in the past the entertainment is off the chart. This being said it seems that DeMille wrote this with the intention of selling it to the Hollywood left. The main villain is a rich, conservative, ex-military oilman bent on evil doings. And it just so happens that all of his evil and powerful friends belong to the current presidential administration. This has all the ingredients of a Susan Sarandon – Barbara Streisand production. For me this one was just too far of a leap. This is a story line that even the kookiest conspiracy nut would strain to invent. If you are a DeMille fan then go ahead and get it but if your new to his work the previous titles are much better.
How can the characters in this year's True Detective be worse? Ferrill is asexual, drunk, corrupt, a child abuser and worse!
"Absolutely Unbelievable, But I Still Love DeMille"
I've read them all, but even I guess DeMille is capable of a flop. The story is so far fetched that I even got tired of John Corey! I highly recommend you bypassing this one and listening to any of DeMille's other works.
"What I expected"
First let me say that this audio book met my expectations for a solid thriler with some ideas that were thought provoking. I found the pace good, in that it keep me listening and entertained, but ultimately it had its flaws. The story was predicatble, the characters somewhat single dimensional and the main character could be annoying in his repartee - not the authors best, but as I said, it kept me entertained.
"I wish I had my credit back"
As always, Scott Brick does an excellent job of narrating, but this book is...
Well, I've enjoyed some of the other DeMille characters, but this one, frankly, makes me want to burn out my own eardrums with a hot wire, so I don't have to listen to one more lame joke.
The premise of the book is good, and the parts of the book told from the bad guy's point of view are all right, hence the two stars.
But the protagonist is - well, he's wickedly annoying. He's that creepy close-talker you meet at a party who follows you around telling the same three jokes over and over.
Gah! To summarize - great narration, incredibly annoying protagonist. I wish I'd saved the credit and used it on some other book.
Seriously, listen to the preview for a few minutes before you buy this; if you can sit through five minutes of John Corey having a conversation with his coworkers, go for it. Otherwise, go buy some PT Deutermann, maybe Sweepers, or Hunting Season.

Dr. Huh wasted my time and set me back. All tests he ordered needed to be ordered again by another office because he did not order them correctly. He is rude, cocky and does not care about solving the issues. If he has any real medical knowledge he doesn't use it and doesn't seem to care. Don't bother making an appointment with him.

Waited 45 minutes to see Dr. Huh for a total of 4 minutes. He was uninterested in explaining my diagnosis and did not address all of my symptoms. He was very rude and cocky. He did not return my phone calls when I was having an allergic reaction to the medication. The receptionist should be fired. Will not be going back.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr Chuck Huh. I went to see him for some infected polyps on my colon. He was very gentle, kind and understanding. I was extremely comfortable allowing him access to the necessary orifices to treat my malady. Next time my polyps flare up I know exactly who I'm going to call.

After a 50 minute wait, I saw Dr. Huh for a total of 5 minutes. This was for a routine colonoscopy, so my complaint is not with the doctor; it is with the extremely rude lady who schedules the actual procedures, who eventually told me that it would be in my best interest to find another physician. I wonder if Dr. Huh is aware?

Dr. Huh was very nice. I ended up getting an endoscope done which also went fine. The nursing staff was also very nice. What I didn't like was paying what I thought was my $150 copay the morning of my procedure. Then I receive a bill for $150 over 2 months later from their office for the copay. When I called to inquire about the charge since I had a receipt I was informed what I had paid the morning of my procedure was a "facility fee" I have never heard of this before and was rather upset. I felt like it was pretty sneaky the way it was done instead of someone explaining what the fee was and that I would be billed later for my actual copay. Needless to say I will not be using this place again!

I was rushed to the ER with diverticulitis-which I had never even hear of, much less thought I had. I was referred to Dr. Huh for a follow up and a colonoscopy. He was very patient with me and gave a thorough explanation of what was going on. I highly recommend him.

I will never recommend Dr. Huh for the simple reason that I was charged over $1,000 for upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, and this is will one of the best insurance you can find on a employer. I am not entirely sure what the both procedures entailed, but being charged over a 1,000 is not reasonable. I was told I would only be charged my co-pay plus the difference, but I kept getting bills over a period of a year for this and that procedures. Furthermore, his practice setup a system where billing questions are directed to another affiliate, thereby ensuring the patient is responsbile for the whole entire process. Whats worse about his practice is that his staff are awful. They provide wrong advises to his patients, and wont admit to their mistakes at the risk of losing their jobs, even if their patience health is on the line. And Dr. Huh promotes all of this to ensure the practice produces financial results. I wouldnt recommend this doctor even for a simple paper cuts. Please stay!

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO — In many ways, the Lake Spivey Rotary Club's inaugural Spring Sprint was like a test run for organizers and several participants.
The event's 5k and 10k races gave organizers a chance to learn what worked well and what issues, such as signage to mark race routes, needed improvement for the future. Some runners in the 10k race complained afterwards that it was difficult at times to tell where the route was.
But for some runners like Lawrenceville resident Edward Chambers, who won the 10K race, the event was preparation for bigger races.
"I was looking for a 10k to run and there aren't many around at this time of year and so I signed up for this one," Chambers said. "This was actually a training run for me because I'm doing the Boston Marathon next month."
About 100 runners took place in the race, said Rotary Club president Cephus Jackson. He added that one factor that helped the race was that there weren't many 10k races scheduled to take place around the time of the Spring Sprint, which allowed it to do draw runners preparing for bigger races.
"You have the Peachtree Road Race and some of these other big marathons coming up and this gives runners a chance to get in shape for those races," Jackson said.
Rotarians and city officials said there are multiple reasons why the race was organized this year. One reason was to promote a healthy lifestyle, and medical professionals from Southern Regional Medical Center were on hand to give free health screenings.
Another reason, Jackson said, was to highlight downtown Jonesboro. "We want to help promote Jonesboro as a destination," he said.
The overarching reason, however, was to raise money for Rotary Club projects which aim to help community organizations including House of Dawn and Rainbow House, said Jackson.
There are hopes that the race will not be a one-time shot, said Jonesboro Mayor Joy Day. Day ran in the 5k along with City Councilwoman Pat Sebo and several city hall staffers. Julie Segner, wife of Councilman Randy Segner, represented her husband in the 5k.
The city leaders and employees were just some of the local officials who participated in the race. County commission Chairman Jeff Turner and Solicitor General Tasha Mosley also participated in the 5k.
"We hope to make this an annual event to benefit the less fortunate in our community," Day said. "It's a good cause."
But as organizers look for suggestions to make next year's event better than the inaugural run, Turner offered up some suggestions.
"There are two things you could do to improve this race next year," Turner said. "One is water stations along the route and the other is massage chairs along the route."

Emotions have been running high after the Saturday protest, and the Sunday one was both heartwarming and heartbreaking, with Monday helping us see what is happening now after the dust had settled.
After the harrowing day and night on Saturday, it was a given that Sunday would happen. I arrived there shortly after 12:00PM, and I saw my friends in Tol3et Ree7etkon grappling with what to do about rumors and incidents that claimed individuals with a clear agenda of turning the protest violent, were organizing themselves in Riad El Solh, in an attempt to change the mood and nature of the peaceful protest.
At 5:00PM though, it was clear that a lot of people had heeded the call to the streets. Thousands upon thousands of men, women and children, undeterred by the police brutality the previous night, were arriving, even ahead of the scheduled 6:00PM rally. This overwhelming number of people which packed Riad El Solh square and the street leading to Martyr's Square, restored confidence that the protest would not be taken into the more violent direction.
It was beautiful. Tens of thousands of people, from every age, town and city across Lebanon, carrying only the Lebanese flag, with smiles on their faces and hope in the tones of their chants. It reminded me of the protests I used to go to 10 years ago, where it was hope and excitement that took us to the street, not hopelessness and desperation.
By 8:30PM, the mood started to sour, and even though attempts were made to back away from the security perimeter by the overwhelming majority of protesters, attempts to breach the security line finally made the security forces come down on the protest by force, after a day of self-restraint amid the countless provocations, even one attempt at putting together a molotov cocktail to throw at the police, which was quickly stopped by other protesters, and resulted in a scuffle between the person trying to throw the molotov cocktail, and the one who stopped him.
Suddenly, the water canons were unleashed and the riot police started advancing into the crowd, beaten back by some protesters, while others fled to the rear. It's important to note that not even the journalists near the front were spared from the police batons and tear gas, such as what happened to my dear friend Dalal Mawad as she was covering live for LBC. Unlike Saturday though, the protesters resisted the police advance, which made the police fire excessive amounts of tear gas canisters and rubber bullets at the protesters, who held their ground for as long as possible. Fires were started, and the scene became even more chaotic, with standoffs and clashes between protesters and police were happening in every street connected to Riad El Solh. After almost 20 minutes of back-and-forth between the police and protesters, live rounds could be heard.
At this point, is when I decided it was time to leave, and I was honestly exhausted from the past two days. We watched the riot scenes on TV, and that's when I started to think more about what happened, after the effects of the tear gas was gone.
What Needs To Be Fixed
Reception was horrible in the square (Thanks Touch and Alfa!), so it was very hard to get the word out between the protesters, such as the "end time" of the protest at around 8:00-8:30PM. Even moving around was tough, with so many people at the protest. The sound system was also a bit late, which made coordinating and getting the message out harder.
So, better communication methods are a must, and one of the Tel3et Ree7etkon organizers assured me they are working on that for Saturday.
Also, a clearer set of demands, which I will get into at the end of this post.
After the violence the night before, the Tel3ort Ree7etkon group postponed their 6:00PM demonstration, but decided later in the day to resume it at 7:30PM. However, that did not stop many from being in Riad El Solh anyway, especially after the erection of the highly controversial cement wall, that is reminiscent of the apartheid wall south of our borders. A wall which quickly became a canvas for street art that mocks the government's erection of the wall, as well as the shaming of the political parties and blocks in power.
A little further down the Shere3 El Masaref (The Banks Street), there were the stairs and the Ancient Roman Baths which lead up to the Serail. There was no wall there, but layers of barbed wire with riot police in between. That is where I saw an interesting development in this mostly spontaneous movement:
A group of protesters had taken the initiative and created a human shield between the riot police and the protesters that wanted to try and breach the security perimeter by force. The protesters in the middle, were trying to stop the provocation of the riot police by the protesters, while also trying to stop the police from trying to break up the protest violently (assuming the police would appreciate their brave and level-headed stance).
However, the group that was ok with violence at this point, was not entirely the same as Sunday night's groups. For one, the overtly sectarian intentions were not there, and I noticed a lot of people I personally am friends with on both sides of the protest, from the same sects. It became clearer that the pro-violence revolution side saw this as a class discrimination issue, fed up with the government's shortcomings. Add to that the rage at police brutality the previous weekend and anger with the government and parliament for the gridlock and robbing the people of their right to vote, and you will get justified wrath at the government and police, and might make violence and rioting an acceptable reaction or revolt. My point is trying to say that not everyone who might want to resort to violence is sent on a mission by some politician. Most are genuinely that furious, and rightfully so.
The non-violent side also made a tough choice. After being brutalized by the police over several occasions, they decided to be the barrier between the police and the rest of the protesters. An unenviable position that puts them face to face with people they are agreement with on most things, just not on the means to the end. And on the other side by the people who might open fire and start beating them at any second.
However, the scene remained relatively peaceful. Activists from both sides would calm down the protesters that got too riled up at times and tried to push through the lines of the human shield group. It was a very good way of keeping the peace of the protest, while ensuring it didn't escalate like it had the past two nights. The rage was evident, but the resolve to not let it turn completely chaotic was also there.
My Personal Opinion
I know lots of you think I am directly involved with #YouStink #YouReek, but truth is I'm just another protester trying as hard as possible to cover the events in Riad El Solh, with my own set of hopes and demands. The #YouStink team are all dear friends of mine, and I trust them and am proud of everything they did. However, my approach is far less optimistic and far more pragmatic.
I don't want to change the system, not right now at least. Looking around us, we saw that agreement on removing bad politicians is not enough to make meaningful change. Most of the Arab countries that rose up, are either at war, ruled by Islamist extremists or a military dictatorship. All three options are a million times worse than the gridlock we have now. I think we should focus on more attainable goals, such as the garbage crisis, an issue we can win, and win fast. And after we have, we move on to other basic rights we are robbed of, starting with the water, electricity and Internet crises, and moving on eventually to proper parliamentary elections under a fair, non-sectarian law. That is my position, in addition to punishing those that fired at us on Saturday night.
We all utterly despise the ruling politicians, with their inability to vote for a President for more than a year, their spineless government and their illegitimate parliament that is only good for gutting good laws and extending for itself. If there is one thing all Lebanese agree on, is that the system needs to change, but the alternatives are vastly different, and I am worried about what system might rise from the ashes of this current one, buckling under its own corruption and violence under the pressure of the people, who have weathered every attempt to dismiss their movement and try to tarnish its message and image.
We should tone down our emotional reaction, and think of a level-headed way to get to our main demand: the garbage crisis, which, despite everything, the government has selected companies WORSE THAN SUKLEEEN, and who will CHARGE US MORE AND DOUBLE what Sukleen did, only this time, it's divided into 6 parts, so each despicable za3eem can get a piece of the pie.
Garbage crisis first, then we get to the other issues that are plaguing us. We need a victory, and this one is within reach. The system is falling on its own, we just need to make sure we make our lives better in the process.
Prepare for Saturday
Check the Tol3et Ree7etkon page, which is the main source of information from the organizers. Prepare for Saturday, it needs to be huge, and we should focus on the garbage issue before the bigger titles that are almost impossible to achieve at this moment with the vile and violent creatures occupying what our taxes pay for. One step at a time, together, beyond sectarianism, is how we will get to the Lebanon we want, or at least improve our lives in the country we love and hate at the same time.
Also, follow my Twitter and Instagram accounts (@GinoRaidy) for live coverage of everything in Riad El Solh
As for our expat friends, there are Tol3et Ree7tekon protests in 4 major cities already, with Paris, New York, London and Montreal already gearing up!

Colour-changing skin keeps tiny spacecraft cool
A COLOUR-changing skin could help to keep pint-sized spacecraft at comfortable temperatures without the bulk and expense of normal cooling equipment.
If the temperature on board a spacecraft were not controlled, it would swing from freezing to scorching, playing havoc with the on-board electronics. It is usually regulated by pipes that carry refrigerants, or mechanical louvres to reflect the sun's radiation. However, these techniques are too bulky for the lightweight satellites now being developed with the aim of slashing launch costs.
A team led by Prasanna Chandrasekhar, working at materials research company Ashwin-Ushas in Lakewood, New Jersey, believe they have a more streamlined solution: a skin less than half a millimetre thick that radiates away heat when a voltage is applied to it. The skin is coated with silicon compounds that reflect a large proportion of the sun's visible and ultraviolet radiation. The infrared ...

Tech News & Commentary
Google's (GOOG) rumored retail stores might end up being as fictitious as George Costanza's Jerk Store on "Seinfeld."
Comments made Tuesday by Andy Rubin, head of Google's Android unit, implied that Google wasn't interested in its own retail stores. Speaking at the Mobile World Congress, Rubin said consumers don't need to touch and feel new smartphones and tablets before buying them as they did a few years ago. They can get the information they need to make a purchase from reading reviews online and talking to friends, he said, according to All Things D.
Asked specifically about the possibility of Google opening retail stores, he said, "Google has no plans and we have nothing to announce."

That sounds like a dodge to me.

In a discussion on Facebook, a young-earth creationist demanded "observable proof of macro-evolution." I realized that the demand is rather akin to someone asking for observable proof of aging. Perhaps one can see "micro-aging" as it occurs in one's cells. But what proof do you have that the younger person in the photo albums in [Read More...]
Intelligent Design proponents and young-earth creationists tell lies. That isn't new information. One of the lies they tell is that genetic mutations do not produce new information. This video addresses this lie of theirs. [Read more...]
Dudley Chapman has written a really helpful blog post, addressing a popular misunderstanding about peer review – and thus also the way some have misunderstood the significance of retractions and other such things that have been in the news lately. Click through to read it. Of related interest, the New York Times just featured an article [Read More...]
This Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal cartoon (HT Hemant Mehta) makes a good point that can be taken even further. One could object to any number of things, including things that young-earth creationists claim to be true, on the basis of it supposedly detracting from the value or dignity of human beings. "I didn't come from [Read More...]

It is an attempt to "fix" the text so that it says what young-earth creationists – and others who deny that it reflects an ancient view [Read More...]
Hemant Mehta shared the above as well information about a Kickstarter campain for the comic strip series it is from. Some years ago I explored a different approach to "proportional time" for evolution and young-earth creationism. I would point out, however, that not all religion is committed to the false "teach both sides" dichotomy. Unfortunately, [Read More...]
This Pearls Before Swine comic offers a different perspective on creationism and evolution. Often people debate big picture worldview questions, and don't realize that neither appeals, because both seem irrelevant to real life and its daily concerns. Like donuts. [Read more...]
When I saw this graphic, I knew I had to share it. I actually raise this issue in a number of my classes, to highlight the difficult questions that are often simply ignored by those who use phrases such as "life begins at conception" as though they were indisputable.

Have you ever wondered why the two New Testament scholars to write books directly tackling mythicist claims are Bart Ehrman and Maurice Casey, both of whom happen to be atheists? I don't think it is a coincidence. As atheists, Ehrman and Casey have the most to be embarrassed about when fellow atheists uncritically embrace views that [Read More...]
