Football practice is sort of like hockey. It's tolerable to watch, but a fight always makes it more interesting.
In Jets camp, feisty cornerback Antonio Cromartie got into a tussle on Saturday morning with receiver Vidal Hazelton. According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, Hazelton caught a pass during one-on-one drills and then took exception to Cromartie's physicality.
Cromartie responded by taking a swing at Hazelton.
It's unknown whether Hazelton responded with a joke about Cromartie's propensity for procreation, or his inability to remember the names of his offspring.
Last month, Cromartie's physical play directed at quarterback Mark Sanchez during offseason workouts sparked a jawing match with receiver Santonio Holmes.
Last year, a spate of fights (with at least one sparked by a cheap shot from Cromartie during seven-on-seven drills) prompted Ryan to remind the team that the enemy doesn't wear green and white.

Gov. Rick Perry was at his pass-the-ammunition strongest in his speech to the NRA convention in St. Louis.
"Ever since the campaign ended, the coyotes are a lot more nervous in Texas," he said, referring to his killing of a coyote on a jog.
He called on Attorney General Eric Holder to resign over the Fast and Furious operation, accusing him of "sheer incompetence." He slammed the Obama administration for everything from rules on the scimitar-horned oryx to the president's past comments.
"I happily cling to my guns and my God," Perry said, "even if President Obama thinks that that is a simpleminded thing in his elitist heart."
He went on:
"In the myopic world of the liberals, guns are responsible for evil instead of the perpetrator of evil. But criminals are not bound by our laws. That's what makes them criminals.When a crimninal breaks into your home I'll let the liberals call the lawyer. I'm going to call Smith & Wesson."
In Perry's view, "Armed and law-abiding citizens are a greater deterrent to violent crime than 1,000 laws passed by Congress."

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Lake Red Rock is seeking volunteers to help prepare Howell Station for the summer camping season. The corps operated campground suffered significant damage in the flood last year. Park Ranger Tracy Spry says an activity day is planned for April 25 from 8 a.m. to noon at Howell Station. Volunteers are needed to help paint picnic tables, collect loose branches and other duties. Plans call for Howell Station Campground to reopen for the Memorial Day weekend.

Tips on Keeping Your Eyes Healthy
Studies are finding that proper nutrition can help prevent the onset of the eye disorder macular degeneration. Dr. Ralph De Haan with Eye Care Partners in Pella says the disease typically afflicts people over the age of 50. He says its caused by a decrease in circulation to a portion of the eye. If someone has a family history, De Haan says a diet with enough lutein, zinc, copper, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and certain fatty acids has been shown to have a preventive effect. De Haan recommends annual eye exams to help detect early signs of macular degeneration. If someone develops the disease, he says treatment options are available.
3M Lays Off 20 Employees
3M Co. in Knoxville placed 20 of its production employees on layoff status earlier this week, with the layoffs set to take effect April 10th. That's according to 3M spokesman Jeff Horacek, who says that 3M hopes the layoffs will be temporary. He also says the company has no plans to continue shutting down the plant on Fridays at this time.
Unemployment Rate Goes Up in Marion County
Marion Countys unemployment rate increased last month, according to the latest figures from Iowa Workforce Development. The rate increased from 5.7 percent in January to 6.2 percent in February. However, that is substantially lower than the national rate of 8.1 percent. Iowa Workforce Development spokeswoman Kerry Koonce says about 90 more people in Marion County were collecting unemployment in February. She says hopefully the rate should start to decline this spring. The state unemployment rate for last month was 4.9 percent, up only a tenth-of-a-percent from January.
Gas Main Break in Knoxville
A gas main break at the intersection of Lincoln and Madison streets in Knoxville earlier this week closed down the intersection for nearly two hours, and resulted in the evacuation of nearby homes, following a quick response from area emergency responders. Fire Chief Mike Roberts says a contractor doing main work for Knoxville Water Works was laying protective earth around their workzone when a substantial hunk of earth fell, hitting and severing the gas main, with no injuries. Pella Ambulance and Knoxville Rural Fire Department were also on stand by during the incident.
Pella Community Schools Looking at Facility Upgrades
Significant facility upgrades could be in store for the Pella Community School District. The Pella School Board recently took the first step in a process that could lead to some improvements to district buildings and athletic fields. District Superintendent Mark Wittmer says this project would address safety issues with the track and bleachers at the football field. Wittmer says each school also has some facility requests. At this point, the project carries a price tag of $1.9 million and would be paid for by bonding against sales tax revenue.

Francisco has been sponsored by the Adloff family for 15 years. He shares his story of how, through their support, he was able to overcome his familyís poverty, obtain an education, and become a leader in his community.
My name is Francisco Amilcar, and I live in the community of Cinquera. I am 23 years old and I have been in CFCA since 1995. My mother is Rubenia Marina, 56, and my dad is Juan Francisco, 59.
My dad has always worked in agriculture, and my mother has always taken care of the house. I have 11 siblings: six brothers and five sisters. The youngest one is 13 and is also sponsored by CFCA. My brother Jaime and I are the only ones who made it into university. The rest of my siblings have moved on with their lives. Some work in agriculture, some are housewives and some work in construction.
Raising so many children was difficult for my parents and us. We had to sleep in pairs in one bed. Siblings donít always get along: I remember getting in pretty good fights with them, but at the same time, it is great growing up with many siblings. The older siblings help the little ones and many times you are more confident with them than with your own parents.
I remember I was in third grade when the local priest and the local catechist came into the classroom and called up all of the children. We were few because, at that moment, few families had returned to resettle the town after the civil war (read about the history of Cinquera ). We were told about the possibility of this sponsorship program. They took our pictures. One year later, we were called to the first meeting and started to receive our first benefits.
One of the most difficult things for me was when I finished junior high. We had no high school in the area so I had to travel to the closest town. My parents could not pay the whole cost, but it was then when the CFCA staff determined that we could use our benefits to cover as much as possible the costs of our education.
I was 14 when I finished ninth grade. For high school, I had to travel 11 kilometers on a dirt and rock road to Tejutepeque, probably about two hours on foot. Transportation service is very limited. Back in those days, we only had three buses the whole day. We had no problem early in the morning because we used to leave town around 6 a.m. But getting back to Cinquera was always a challenge. Many times we could not catch the bus. We had to walk, despite rain and hunger — all we had to eat during the day was some fruit or bread.
In twelfth grade, we had to bring a typewriter to class. I did not have one. There was a handcraft and painting shop at which I became an artisan. We used to sell those products to tourists or vendors. I made some money and bought my typewriter. The machine is in very good condition because I took such a good care of it. I didnít even want to lay it on the floor. I took care of it because I paid for it.
I finished high school in 2003. The idea for most of the young people at that time was to find a job. Most go to the U.S. to work to help their families. I decided to study computer engineering. But the costs became more expensive. The municipality helped us by providing transportation. They transported us in the city trash truck, but we were happy for the opportunity.
There were times when classmates tried to humiliate me because I was poor and came from a small town and for wearing the same clothes over and over. Of course, we did not have enough to buy new clothes so we always used the same ones.
The teachers started to pay attention to me because I always tried to be good in class, especially in math. My grades were high, too. They selected me to be a math instructor for some classes. They eliminated my monthly tuition, and I had full access to the libraries, computers, Internet. Last year, I graduated as a computer engineer from the National University.
I am currently working at the Reconstruction and Rural Development Association. I am a computer teacher at the small computer lab they have created where local residents come and learn. I get a small salary for this.
My dreams for the future are to give back to my community; to work for the development of Cinquera. I have received a scholarship for a masterís degree in engineering, and I am planning on doing it. Just like the community helped me, I want to help it. Mine is not a dream in which I make money. It is a dream in which my community is well. I also want to form a family, work hard and provide for them.
The story of my sponsors and me is one that canít be forgotten. Their sponsorship is like a family relationship. They have seen me grow. We have exchanged letters almost every month, and they have always been caring to me.
They are Mary and Bob Adloff, and their daughters, Kara and Dayna. They have been able to know me through letters, and I have been able to know them. I know about their daughtersí education, as well as Bobís and Maryís occupations. They always kept me informed in their letters. They sent me photos. I know my sponsors are a very united family. They will always be in my heart.
I remember them telling me how much they enjoyed the drawings I used to make in my letters, and later they told me that my drawings were framed. They sent me pictures showing that.
Their help was invaluable. The benefits I have received from them have been very good: food, celebrations, shoes. As a matter of fact, the shoes I received from CFCA have been the ones I have used all the time. I donít recall ever buying new shoes. The ones I am wearing right now I received from CFCA. We have used the benefits very well. They have been of great help for me and my family.
If I had my sponsors Bob and Mary in front of me, I would tell them, ìThank you.î I would hug them because I feel we have been giving each other hugs in our letters. I would tell them as much about me as I could, and I would tell them that God will bless them just as much as they have been blessing me.
You can learn more about Francisco and his sponsors on our website.

01 Feb 2012
Dragonair welcomed the Budget speech made by HKSAR Financial Secretary Mr. John Tsang today in which he announced that the government would continue to invest heavily in infrastructure and enhance the status of Hong Kong as a logistics centre and regional aviation hub, as well as further promoting cooperation in business and professional services between the Mainland and Hong Kong.
Dragonair is pleased that the Hong Kong SAR Government will keep the development of the four pillar industries of Hong Kong – trading and logistics, financial services, business and professional services, and tourism – as a top priority. The airline also appreciates the emphasis put on the long-term strategy for the development of Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Patrick Yeung said: "Hong Kong is an international logistics hub that is well known for the excellence and efficiency of its airport facilities. As a Hong Kong-based airline, Dragonair is committed to linking the region through premium flight services and training young talents to contribute to the local aviation industry.
"We are pleased that the Financial Secretary has addressed the need to ensure that the handling capacity of HKIA can match the ever-increasing air traffic demand. We believe there is an urgent need for a third runway in response to airport capacity constraints and fierce competition from neighbouring hubs.
"We are happy to hear that the Government is considering the recommendations of Airport Authority Hong Kong on the commencement of the next stage of work in preparation for the third runway at HKIA. We look forward to seeing any move in the airport expansion project," Mr Yeung added.
The Budget speech mentioned that for the business and professional services sector, opportunities offered under the National 12th Five-Year Plan through the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) platform, such as mutual recognition of professional qualifications and enabling Hong Kong professionals to set up practices in the Mainland, would lead to more interaction and a greater flow of traffic between the Mainland and Hong Kong.
Mr Yeung said: "With Mainland China as our core market, Dragonair welcomes the fostering the cooperation in various sectors between Hong Kong and the Mainland and the increasing demand for air traffic that would result."

Introducing a complete new evening accessory, it's called the Louis Vuitton Essentials V Pochette. This clutch bag is edgy, elegant and fashionable; it has been released as a part of the Cruise 2018 Collection.
The Design
This Essential V Pochette is purposely made in shiny metallic Epi Leather to help you standout from the crowd. The look of this clutch is modern, classy and will go with almost any evening outfit. The center is crafted with a 3D V logo, which reminds me of the Louis Vuitton twist Bag. The logo is somewhat different, but the design is almost the same.
The V logo is embellished on the slot handclasp. You can slip your hand through this slot handclasp to help you carry this clutch effortless – and all day long.
The Interior
The most beautiful part is the interior. This bag opens with a top zipper and there is just one main compartment inside to store your basic essentials. But what I like about this pochette is the clever design to create maximizes the interior of such a small bag. If you look at this Essential V Pochette from the top when it's opened, you will immediately notice the triangle interior.

LOUIS VUITTON PETITE NOE TRUNKLouis Vuitton News
The Noe Bag is one of Louis Vuitton's oldest iconic handbags. This bag was introduced in 1932 and it was made to transport bottles for champagne vintners. Last time we've introduced a new variation of the Noe Bag, theNeoNoe Bag. And today, there is another sophisticated version released for the Cruise 2018 Collection, it's called the Louis Vuitton Petite Noe Trunk Bag.
The Design
The design of the Petite Noe Trunk Bag is quite sophisticated. The body is not as streamlined as the original Neo Bag because there is so much going on. It's shape looks like a punching bag. The top part is crafted in fresh Reversed Monogram Canvas while the bottom part is made in full leather.
What's more? The trunk-inspired S-Lock is crafted on the bottom and reinforced with little gold studs. This bag is chic, but it's more like urban-chic and it's a perfect addition to your street wear.
You can tote the bag by holding the short strap on the top, but it also comes with a chic leather strap for shoulder carry or cross body carry. This leather strap can be detached or adjusted.
The Interior
But what's unexpected is the double compartment of the Petite Noe Trunk Bag. The majority of your daily essentials can be stored on the top, via the drawstring. However, there is a secret compartment on the bottom of the bag and it can be opened with the S-Lock.
The Sizes And Prices
Measuring 13.5 x 22 x 13.5 (L x H x W) cm via Louis Vuitton boutiques. Price is TBD.

LOUIS VUITTON SAINT PLACIDE BAGLouis Vuitton News
Whenever I see this new Louis Vuitton Saint Placide Bag, it somehow reminds me of the Saint-Germain Bag. Both are gorgeous handbags and deserve a place in the permanent collection of the house. For those that are interested, Saint Placide is a station on line 4 of the metro (subway) in the 6th arrondissement in Paris. And this handbag is designed for the Cruise 2018 Collection.
The Design
If the Saint Germain Bag is too sophisticated, then perhaps the Saint Placide Bag is a better option. This new Chain Bag combines Monogram Canvas with supple and coloured leather flap. The Monogram Canvas body is the signature print of the house and the flap adds an interesting contrast to the whole design.
What's more important is the gleaming golden clasp in the center. This clasp is inspired by the historic House trunks, which means it's designed with a classic piece.
The Saint Placide Bag comes with sliding multi-carry golden chain. You can carry this bag on your shoulder or cross body. The flat leather shoulder piece is for comfort purpose.
The Monogram is made from Coated Canvas while the flap is crafted from cowhide leather.
The Interior
This beautiful bag looks small, but it can easily fit a long wallet and other essentials. There is a main compartment inside, but also a smartphone pocket or a zipped pocket. You can wear this piece easily from day to night.
The Size And Price
Measuring 10.2 x 6.4 x 2.8 (L x H x W) inches, priced at $2080 USD, $2650 CAD, €1550 euro, £1450 GBP, $17100 HKD, $2760 AUD, ¥244080 JPY, $2760 AUD, ¥15800 CNY via Louis Vuitton boutiques.

In my opinion, comic books have their place in the realm of reading materials.
For Kids: Action heroes with a difference
Viminy Crowe's Comic Book
By Marthe Jocelyn and Richard Scrimger
Illustrated by Claudia Dávila
Tundra Books, 319 pages, $19.99
Ages 8 to 12
As an immigrant child in the late 1950s, I came to Canada knowing only five English words: yes, no, one, two, three. My vocabulary quickly grew, thanks to a passel of English-speaking cousins, the efforts of Mrs. Jacobsen in New Canadian class at Vancouver's Mount Pleasant School, and a stack of comic books.
Kids immersed themselves in comics back then — and not with a view to resale value, like the nerds who keep theirs in plastic wrap these days — and parents worried about comics being a far cry from literature; shouldn't their kids be reading books instead? All I know is that Donald Duck, Richie Rich, Little Lulu and Superman helped me acquire the English language. In my opinion, comic books have their place in the realm of reading materials.
Canadian authors Richard Scrimger and Marthe Jocelyn clearly think so, too. They joined forces to produce a well-paced, entertaining adventure story in which comics play an integral role. In fact, Viminy Crowe's Comic Book celebrates the genre in a way that hasn't been done in children's lit before: by combining the format of a novel with that of a comic strip and housing it between two hard covers for the enjoyment of youngsters everywhere.
Viminy Crowe is the titular hero, in that he's the talent behind the adventures of intrepid Flynn Goster. But the real stars of this book are two kids — 12-year-old Addy, Crowe's niece who helped him hone his new Flynn Goster Summer Special and who knows how crucial it is that the comic sell well at the ComicFest currently taking place in Toronto, and Wylder Wallace, who's a big Flynn Goster fan and is at the show to buy the new comic, which has apparently met with a distribution glitch. Both kids accidentally pass through a portal at the show that deposits them inside the pages of the comic book itself, where much of the action takes place on a train travelling across Canada in 1899. They encounter grave danger in the form of a dastardly criminal, Professor Lickpenny, who, with the help of grotesque eight-foot robots he created and covered with human skin, is determined to steal the gold bullion being carried on that train.
When Addy and Wylder try to return to ComicFest, they discover that by inadvertently leaving some of their belongings on the train, they've derailed Crowe's original story and the plot has taken on a life of its own. Flynn Goster loses a limb in the process; robots run amok; fire breaks out and Crowe himself eventually finds his way into the comic. It takes considerable effort before he and his niece can extricate themselves and safely return to present-day Toronto with Wylder in tow.
Illustrated by Claudia Dávila in various black-and-white formats (from spot illustrations to a four-page comic strip), this makes for a highly entertaining summer read.

Taste it without water and the Karuizawa 1995 Single Cask (cask number #5004, bottled 2008) is full of character but is not something worth breaking the bank for. Diluted, it is worth investing half your retirement savings in Sub-Prime Brothers plc. and withdrawing the rest to spend on however many cases of the stuff you can get your greasy hands on. I have two small crumpled pages of hastily written notes in front of me which I have delayed to long in writing up. I am not quite sure what some of it means, so I will just copy out the first page:
"UndilutedThe second page deals with it diluted and I am afraid I descended into mere hyperbole. It seems the closer a drink gets to perfection the less this reviewer is able to capture it in anything other than abstracts and exclamations. So, here, for what it is worth, is what I wrote after dropping a couple of drops of Hakushu spring water into the Karuizawa:
Nose: pastry dough, plums (green), Demerara sugar, very very faintly ammonic. Taste: Parching. Sweet at first but quickly becomes quite gamey. Meaty soup stock. Bovril. Doesn't sound appetising but quite rounded and satisfying. A salty after taste."
"DilutedYou get the drift. I liked it very much.
Nose: toffees, sweets, apples, sweeter. Taste: Fantastic!! (double underlined). A real charmer. Cooked apples and dark sugar. Chocolate in there somewhere. Rounded. So classy, so balanced, so right that I can't find the specifics. Contentment. Warmth. Leather chairs and smelly environment destroying fires. Slightly maritime aftertaste."

Sept. 25, 2010
BOSTON, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's cross country team finished ninth out of 25 teams and the women tied for eighth in a 23-team field at the Codfish Bowl at Franklin Park Saturday.
The Corsair men scored 242 points, 37 points behind eighth-place C.W. Post, while Bentley was first with 72 points. The UMD women scored 228 points, two in back of seventh-place Saint Anselm, and tied with Bryant for eighth place. The Greater Boston Track Club was first with 28 points.
Senior Nick Santoro (Shrewsbury, MA/St. John's HS) of the Corsairs finished 15th in the men's race in 26:37, junior Kevin Gilmore (Hanson, MA/Whitman-Hanson HS) was 38th in 27:39, senior Derek Stevens (Swampscott, MA/Swampscott HS) finished 39th in 27:39, senior Eric Nygaard (Medway, MA/Medway HS) was 74th in 28:26, freshmen Cody Gibney (New Bedford, MA/Greater New Bedford Vo Tech HS) finished 129th in 29:49, junior Steve Burke (Norwell, MA/Norwell HS) was 146th in 30:18, senior Wes Meserve (Merrimack, MA/Merrimack HS) finished 147th in 30:22, and freshmen Chris Jordan (Taunton, MA/Taunton HS) finished 148th in 30:26.
For the women, freshman Dekontee Chea (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) finished 18th in 20:20, junior Meaghan Bohigian (Barre, MA/Quabbin Regional HS) was 45th in 21:16, junior Megan Oliveira (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS) was 57th in 21:31, junior Caitlin McGargial (Shutesbury, Ma/Amhearst Regional HS) finished 70th in 21:46, junior Courtney Testa (Hopkinton, MA/Hopkinton) finished 79th in 21:58, freshmen Kelci Sullivan (Hanson, MA/Whitman-Hanson HS) finished 106th in 22:53, junior Stacey Dybel (Littleton, MA/Notre Dame Academy) was 117th in 23:07, freshmen Brittany Lyons (South Yarmouth, MA/Dennis-Yarmouth HS) finished 132nd in 23:33, , and senior Katie Galindo (Melrose, MA/Stoneham HS) finished 211th in 26:29.
"Today there were tough conditions, 85 degrees and humid, which are not good running conditions but I thought our women held up really well," said Corsairs Head Coach Jon Hird. "I think that for the women, it was a really good sign that together as a group they really can race well and if we ever get to a point where we are hitting on all cylinders, and all five or six of them race well, it's going to be a good group," continued Hird. "Dekontee did a great job, Meaghan also did a great job and Megan Oliveira ran one of her best races in her three years here at UMass Dartmouth."
"For the men, they didn't run as well as they had in the week before, but they are a veteran group so they will regroup quickly," said Hird. "The good thing for the men is that this is the kind of a race where you get a little bit of a wake up call which is helpful and we are back there in two weeks and if I know this group, they will be ready for a fight."
The Corsairs will return to action when they return to Boston for the Open New England Championships in two weeks.

Chickamauga National Mililtary Park: A place to remember and forgive
Today is Memorial Day, a day we set aside to remember those who paid the ultimate price serving our country. The holiday often just becomes a day to grill out or get that garden planted, but it's original purpose was to be a day of mourning. It is very easy to forget just how many Americans gave their lives in the service of our country over the years and still put their lives on the line today. But if you have ever visited a National Cemetery or Military Park, the evidence of their sacrifice is sobering.
On a trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee last fall, my husband and I visited several Civil War Military Parks and a National Cemetery. At the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Parks we read the accounts of the battles and the numbers of casualties. I must confess, it was difficult to grasp the size and scope of the attacks and the numbers of dead and wounded. The Civil War still remains the most bloody and costly in terms of lives lost in U.S. history. Nearly 620,000 Americans died in the Civil War--more than all other wars from the Revolution through Vietnam combined.
What struck me about the Chickamauga Military Park (just south of Chattanooga, TN, in Georgia) was the spirit of forgive and forget that accompanied the creation of the park.
Just 24 years after the end of the Civil War, veterans from opposing sides of the Battle of Chickamauga held a reunion. They called it the Blue and the Gray Barbecue. Where "hundreds of soldiers and their families visited the sites of the bloody battle...smoking the pipe of peace, healing the wounds, and helping start the Chickamauga National Park, known as the Chickamauga Battlefield." The park was established the following year in 1890 to preserve and commemorate the battlefields and was the first and largest in the U.S.
There are 1,400 monuments and historical markers of granite and bronze in the park--nearly all quite impressive in their artistry. The Kentucky monument was not only beautiful to look at, but also in its sentiment. It reads: "Erected by the State of Kentucky in memory of her sons who fought and fell on this field. 'As we are united in life, and they united in death, let one monument perpetuate their deeds, and one people, forgetful of all asperities [harshness or severity], forever hold in grateful remembrance all the glories of that terrible conflict which made all men free and retained every star on the nation's flag.' " (Kentucky was a border state and had both Confederate and Union soldiers in the war.)
Kentucky Governor Bradley's monument dedication speech in 1899 continued that spirit of forgive and forget: (My emphasis)"Kentucky has evinced [clearly shown] no partiality in the evidence of loving remembrance. It carries with it no heart burning, no jealousy, no invidious [offensive] distinction. It is not an emblem of honor to the victor and and reproach to the vanquished, but an equal tribute to the worth of all. In future, the descendants of chivalrous Confederates may proudly gaze upon it, realizing that the state has honored their ancestors, and although their cause was lost, their heroism is revered and their memories perpetuated. And the sons of the brave men who fought on the other side may look upon it with equal pride, feeling that it fitly commemorates the gallant deeds of their illustrious ancestors , who preserved the Nation from destruction. May it endure forever, standing guard over victor and vanquished, with the statue that surmounts it, in one hand holding the torch of liberty shedding abroad its benign rays, in the other grasping the people, ready and anxious at all times to uphold the integrity of one country, and to drive, wounded and bleeding, from its shores any insolent foe that shall ever dare invade them."
These people who had suffered and lost so much were indeed doing what President Lincoln urged the nation to do 34 years before in his 2nd Inaugural Address: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
Today the question of States Rights vs. Federal Rights is again being raised. I wonder if we as a nation are capable of that same spirit of forgiveness that the post Civil War veterans exhibited so soon after their great conflict at Chickamauga?
In any event, I am grateful for the men and women of our nation who gave their all to preserve and protect our country. May God bless their families and God bless America.

WASHINGTON, June 6 (UPI) -- Two prominent U.S. House Democrats Monday called for an ethics investigation into Rep. Anthony Weiner's confessed online sexual impropriety.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, made their statements after the Democratic New York congressman's news conference where he apologized for misleading the press and public about his trail of explicit Twitter photographs, the Washington publication Politico reported.
"I am deeply regretting what I have done, and I am not resigning," Weiner said at his news conference. "I am deeply sorry for the pain this has caused Huma, my wife, and my family."
But that apology didn't go far with his colleagues.
"I am calling for an Ethics Committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred," Pelosi said.
Israel inferred an investigation by the House Ethics Committee would unveil whether Weiner broke any House rules.
"Congressman Anthony Weiner engaged in a deep personal failure and inappropriate behavior that embarrassed himself, his family and the House. Ultimately, Anthony and his constituents will make a judgment about his future.
"To remove all remaining doubt about this situation, I agree with Leader Pelosi's request that the House Ethics Committee use its authority to begin an investigation."

Fortified citadels lie in ruins. Once-verdant forests burn brightly in the twilight of the setting sun. And arid stretches of desert, known to have claimed even the hardiest of travelers, now house fertile oases.
The breaking of Azeroth changed a great many things. While the altered landscapes of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor may be the most noticeable evidence of Deathwing's violent return, many of Azeroth's heroes have also undergone drastic physical and mental transformations of their own.
Recently, we focused on how the Cataclysm has affected the lives of the accomplished shaman Thrall and the new Horde warchief, Garrosh Hellscream. Today we examine Anduin Wrynn, son of King Varian, and the indelible impact that the great changes sweeping Azeroth have had on this young man.
Although only a teenager, Stormwind's prince, Anduin, has persevered through numerous trials and tribulations, such as being kidnapped by the scheming black dragon Onyxia. His greatest challenge, however, might lie in his relationship with Varian. Anduin is no stranger to his father's love and affection, but he is constantly wary of sudden outbursts from Varian's violent, gladiatorial side. Anduin has also struggled against his father's insistence that he become a warrior.
Events just prior to the Cataclysm signaled a new chapter in Anduin's life. While undergoing martial training in the dwarven bastion of Ironforge, Anduin witnessed as Moira Thaurissan—the estranged daughter of the late King Magni Bronzebeard—held the city hostage with a contingent of Dark Iron dwarves. Despite being the legal heir to Ironforge, she drew the ire of Varian for her heavy-handed tactics. Before long, the king and a team of SI:7 agents infiltrated the city, intent on killing the brash dwarf heiress. Only through Anduin's wise and resolute intervention did Varian stay his hand and spare Moira's life, thus averting a political disaster that might have ignited a dwarven civil war.
During his time in Ironforge, Anduin also discovered his true calling in life: to be a priest devoted to the tenets of the Holy Light. For those who know Anduin well, this discipline is a perfect fit for the prince, who has consistently proven himself to be compassionate and thoughtful. No longer the child-prince of Stormwind from years past, Anduin is fast becoming his own man with the courage to speak up for what he believes in. He does not share Varian's outright hatred and mistrust of the Horde. On one occasion, he even imparted sage advice to the tauren chieftain Baine Bloodhoof after the death of his father, Cairne. Yet in Azeroth's current state of turmoil, it is unknown whether Anduin's destiny with the Light will proceed on its current course, or whether his path will take a different turn.
We'll be examining other key characters' transformations—including those of Magni Bronzebeard—in the months ahead, so come back soon.

As everyone now knows, speculation about the relationship between big sports events and sex trafficking continues despite evidence that no such relationship exists. Seemingly endless reports before the Olympics began in late July worried about what might happen, justifying all manner of awareness-raising and misleading rhetoric (from the EWL, from Stop the Traffik and of course from the police).
We at x:talk have made a questionnaire for those who worked in London during the games (including the Paralympics). The purpose is to find out from those directly involved: Was business better or worse? Did people travel to London to do business? Did they see anyone forced to do sex work? What experience with the police did they have if any? The survey, called Did the Olympics affect London's sex industry? can be found right here: Do please disseminate far and wide, but don't participate unless you actually worked in London during the Olympics. Here's the description at the start of the survey:
Help give a voice to London's sex workers and adult-entertainment businesses
Xtalk Project Limited, a co-operative led by sex workers in London, would like to know if and how the Olympics affected your business. If you worked in the sex industry – in any kind of adult-entertainment business – in any capacity, whether as employee, independent, owner or manager from 27 July to 10 September 2012, please take 10 minutes to answer some brief questions.
* We are not asking your name, address, age, gender or any other personal details.
* We will not record your ISP in order to track your computer or where you were when you filled out this questionnaire.
We will be reporting how many respondents answered questions and what they said, in order to contribute to ongoing debates about sex work and adult entertainment in the UK and abroad.
Everyone who worked is invited to complete this questionnaire: people who sell sex or erotic services, people who have support roles in or provide professional services to adult-entertainment businesses, managers and owners. If you had any of these roles in London during the Olympics you are eligible to do this questionnaire.
Please do not answer this questionnaire if you did not work in London's sex industry during the Olympics. We want to provide unbiased information about what happened.
If you have any questions, please contact us at xtalk.olympics [at] yahoo.co.uk or visit xtalkproject.net

Greatest Birthday Present Ever
I'll be taking my first trip to Denver in October. October 1st.
I'll also be attending my first Avalanche game in Denver. Against the Sharks. On October 1st.
Joe Sakic was my childhood hero, and now that I'm getting the chance to see his number retired, I'm in complete and utter shock.
If anyone from Colorado is reading this, I'd appreciate some suggestions on what to do or where to go before and after the game. I'm flying in the day before and leaving the night after so I will have some free time to explore the city a bit.
So excited.

get a tour of red rocks (in morrison on the west side of the city) hit up the 16th street mall in downtown. check out the park at the north end of the mall, and the massive skatepark just east of there. the national history museum is pretty cool, and right next to the zoo, you can kill a whole day just going to those two places, and theres a fantastic park there to hang out at as well. you could also go visit the coors brewery in Golden, but thats a good 20 minutes away. go find out what ROCKTOBER is all about. take a tour of the capital, or the U.S. Mint, both of which are right downtown. or you could check out the state of the art performing arts center. if you dont inted to leave the city, i would reccomend renting a bike cruiser instead of a car, because the city itself is beautiful, and best explored free of the flow of traffic. (if you do rent a bike ride the path along the river through the city)

Wow. This is really turning out to be the Avs fan party of the century. Downtown Denver is great all in it's self. Brooklyns before the game and after. It's right across the street from The Can, has good food, and reasonably priced drinks. Oh, and what a great day to be born :)

A lot of you are too young to remember that decades before the greenies became obsessed with global warming they were obsessed with nuclear winter. (One reason why some older people may not be as convinced of global warming is that we've heard climate warnings before. I'm not saying that's me, but I'm sure that for a lot of older people it's like the constant fads plaguing the health obsessed segment of society. Many of whom have been touting one miracle substance after another over the years. Ever heard of laetrile? DMSO? Herbal "cures" for cancer, heart disease, diabetes? Mega-dosing of vitamins and/or minerals?)
I wonder if global warming could be managed by a carefully managed program of nuclear detonations? Sure, there'd be some details to work out (we wouldn't want to poison the atmosphere with radiation), but if we could deal with that, we could just manage global warming (assuming global warming is real, of course).

Hmmm... It appears I was mistaken. I was under the impression that we had mostly phased out production of CFCs and HCFCs, which I knew were potent green house gases, but I didn't realize that the HFCs that have been replacing them also have a similar potency. While currently they are to be phased out by 2020 in developed countries under the Montreal Protocol, there isn't a set regulation for HFCs in the treaty. Nor did I realize that there were so many CFCs waiting to be disposed of. That poses quite a problem.
Also, I was wrong about the Ozone Hole repairing itself. It's pretty much been stagnant. Fortunately it's not growing larger, but it's not really getting smaller either.
We could start with Ohio! Oh, that's right, that's where you live, isn't it Unseen? Works for me --
Not just yet. It's been rather unpleasantly hot lately as it is.
Possibly Mr. Crichton might benefit from reading this:
Climate landmark as Arctic ice melts to record low
I have no doubt that there is consensus on the matter of climate change, but using consensus to establish truth is induction not deduction. Deduction is certain, induction is tentative and results in theories rather than firm conclusions.
But induction and deduction aside, the experts have yet to show the public the evidence in layman terms. Laymen understand functional relationships almost instinctively: if you turn off the heat under a pot of boiling water, it will stop boiling; if you stop walking toward your destination, you won't get there. Of course, if there is a functional relationship, such as years of less or more greenhouse gas and carbon emission production with corresponding changes in glacial or polar ice, that's easily understood. That sort of data hasn't been offered yet.
Instead, it's all "trust us. We're right." And the reticence to even show their data to outsiders is a cause for suspicion not just in the public realm but within the academic world as well. The "climategate" emails, which revealed a lot of academic backbiting, sandbagging and stonewalling, as well as strong implications of fudging the data to fit their hypotheses sure didn't help.
And while there are many nut jobs and people with the proverbial "dog in the fight" who deny the human causes of climate change, they are not all yahoos, and while characterized as plain old head-in-the sand deniers, their views are frequently for more complicated and nuanced than that.
Some, like Kimino Itoh, believe that human factors, especially our carbon dioxide emissions, are just part of a far more complex scenario.
Others, like Bjorn Lomborg, accept the role of humans in climate change, but say that the need for change is far less urgent than depicted and that the funds the greenie world would have us divert into fighting climate change will inevitably come away from fighting disease and poverty and fighting oppression worldwide. He thinks we can fight climate change, but needn't throw the poor, disenfranchized, and ill under the bus in doing so. He says we should undertake the necessary changes, but not at the expense of other important priorities.
And what doesn't help is that, especially for people who have lived as long as I have, the greenies have a long history of crying that the sky is falling about threats that never happened or turned out to be far less dire a problem than they claimed. They misidentified the cause of the dying off of amphibians and, more recently, the decline in bee population, for example.
So, when will the public be presented with the science in a way they can understand? "Trust us" isn't flying so it's time for climate change proponents to make their case, not to other scientists or political leaders, but to Joe Blow.
RE: "if you stop walking toward your destination, you won't get there." - unless your destination is also moving toward you.
RE: "while characterized as plain old head-in-the sand deniers, their views are frequently for more complicated and nuanced than that."
What percentage of these would you say are proponents of Big Business, that will lose profits if they cease activities that others say contribute to global warming?
RE: "if you stop walking toward your destination, you won't get there." - unless your destination is also moving toward you.
I'm not sure what your point is, that is just a little bit more complicated functional relationship. Are you saying something just to see yourself say it?
RE: "while characterized as plain old head-in-the sand deniers, their views are frequently for more complicated and nuanced than that."
What percentage of these would you say are proponents of Big Business, that will lose profits if they cease activities that others say contribute to global warming?
Perhaps most, but not all. There are still independent voices. What is perhaps most distressing is the intolerance in the climatological community to dissenting voices. It has forced many who have doubts to simply shut up for fear of being ostracized or never receiving another research grant, so the profit motive can work both ways.
This is why much of the criticism has come from allied sciences, such as meteorology and economics.
That, and to point out the fallacy in your ill-conceived analogy.
Thank yah, thank yah verah much!
There are several obstacles:
1) 7 Billion people all over earth
2) Much larger number of other living organisms
3) Then we have to decide where should this be carried out
4) There will always be protesters for such things; thus possibility of sabotage is undeniable
5) And then what if this goes wrong, wont this be worse than global warming
But then that's the point of being a free thinking human, without any biased views. We think, discuss, and if needed change our opinions
Why not pray it away! Theists seem to show a signal in their prayer attempts, surely even with a signal down to 1:1x10^16 would have some effect that would be noticable over a 100 year period. This would keep them busy, keep them out of politics for a few hours a day, and give them something useful to do that could make the world a better place. We could even sell it by appealing to their desire for the 'good old days'.

Alliant International University is committed to providing the highest quality services for military students and their families. It is our goal to provide a seamless transition for students attending Alliant International University who are recalled for national and international military service and their return to the university after deployment. Alliant employees realize every student's situation is unique dependent upon course load, financial aid status and date called to serve to name a few. As such, each and every student "called to serve" will be provided individualized service to address his/ her specific needs.
Alliant International University will ensure students do not face an academic disadvantage as a result of being called to national or international service. When a student (or family member) receives recall orders to active duty or orders to deploy, the student can withdraw from the university with a 100% refund and without financial penalty.
If classes are in session at the time of activation, each case will be individually evaluated with the student's professors to determine the best option for the student. The university will make every effort to restore students returning from national and military service to the status they held prior to their departure.
- Withdrawal. At any point in the term, a student called to serve may withdraw from Alliant International University by submitting a withdrawal request along with a copy of deployment orders to the Registrar's Office. The student may receive a full credit of tuition and fees. The Registrar's Office will process the withdrawal and arrange for appropriate adjustments to the student's account.
- Selective Drops. A student may drop one or more courses and elect to complete remaining coursework in accordance with Option 3 or Option 4 below. A full credit of tuition and fees for dropped courses will be honored.
- Incompletes. Students who have successfully completed the majority of work for a course may be awarded a grade of "Incomplete" at the discretion of the professor. Professors are strongly encouraged to grant additional time for students to make up the required work.
- Final Grades. A final grade option is available if the following requirements are met:
- The professor determines that a sufficient amount of the course work has been completed, and
- Sufficient information about a student's performance in the course has been obtained.
Students must consult with their professors to determine whether these two requirements have been met in order for a final grade to be awarded.
Called to Serve: Re-Admission
Any student whose absence from Alliant International University is necessitated by reason of service in the uniformed services shall be entitled to re-admission to Alliant International University if:
- The student (or an appropriate officer of the Armed Forces or official of the Department of Defense) gives advance written or verbal notice of such service to an Alliant International University official.
- The cumulative length of the absence and of all previous absences from Alliant International University by reason of service in the uniformed services does not exceed five years, and except as otherwise provided in this section, the student submits a notification of intent to re-enroll at Alliant International University.
Exceptions include:
- No notice is required if giving of such notice is precluded by military necessity, such as mission, operation, exercise, or requirement that it is classified or,
- A pending or ongoing mission, operation, exercise or requirement that may be compromised or otherwise adversely affected by public knowledge.

Taniguchi Sanke #009
Breeder: Taniguchi
Size: 22cm (8.5 Inches)
Stock #: 009
Price: $800.00
Yoichi Taniguchi and Zak Schmidt personally selected a limited number of high quality Gosanke to participate in an exclusive grow-out event held at Taniguchi Koi Farm in Hiroshima, Japan.
These hand selected koi can be purchased and boarded with the breeder through the winter months in his warm greenhouses.
Currently these Tosai are too young to be accurately sexed. In April 2018 when the winter boarding period is over and the koi have grown… it will be possible to more accurately determine their sex. Many of the koi from the 2016 grow-out koi that started at 14cm in November grew to over 30cm by April and most of those Tosai turned out to be female! (Click here to see the results from 2016)
Koi determined to be female in April 2018 will be eligible to board in Taniguchi's mud ponds for the summer growing season. An additional fee of $150.00 per koi will be charged in the Spring… right before the koi are released to the mud ponds. Koi that were released to the mud ponds last summer grew up to 54cm! (Click here to see the results from 2017)
The Taniguchi Grow-out presents an opportunity to acquire a high quality koi at a fraction of the cost of a Jumbo Tosai or a Nisai. For those of us who live in colder climates, this is a great way to enjoy koi during the winter… while getting a jump on the coming spring season.

Working Directory
The Working Directory is the location of the directory that you are currently in. For example if you log into the system, it is designed so that you will begin in your home directory. For example, if your username was tom then your home directory by default would be /home/tom. When tom logs into the system it places him in the /home/tom directory, which is the current working directory. So if tom issues the command ls, then it will list the contents of /home/tom. If tom moves to the /usr directory by using the command cd /usr (which means change directories to /usr) then the current working directory is /usr Current working directory is the current directory that a command will interact with. Now, that does not mean that you have to be located in a directory to issue a command in the shell. Regardless of your current working directory you can use a command that interacts with any directory by using a path. For example, if you were located in the /home/tom directory you could list the contents of the /usr/share directory by using the path of that directory so the command would look like this:
ls /usr/share
One command that will verify your working directory is the command pwd, which stands for print working directory.
Moving Around in Directories
The cd command is the basic way to move around in the directory system. Cd followed by the directory location will move the users current working directory. For example,
cd /home
This command moves a user to the /home directory where all user directories are located. If the user fred wanted to move to their /home directory they would use:
cd /home/fred
There is a shortcut to moving to your home directory. The ~ is equivalent to the home directory. As a result fred can move to his home directory with this command:
cd ~
This makes it easier than typing the full path.

Back home in the Tri-Cities, my Mom has a storage shed stuffed with artifacts of my childhood. Among the VHS tapes, photo albums and junior high yearbooks are my old journals, and as an odd, lonely kid with obsessive streak I scribbled in them constantly back then. One thread running through all of them was my penchant for detailed daydreaming about the Seattle Seahawks. I'd go through the upcoming season's schedule game-by-game and plot out the trajectory that would lead us to Super Bowl glory, down to quarter-by-quarter scoring in each game and the stats for individual players. It was a rudimentary version of the piece I wrote a while back about the Tangent Universe 1986 Seahawks, and it helped distract me from my day-to-day struggles and the perennial floundering of my beloved Hawks.
In all those reams of yellowing paper, written by an adolescent Twelve with an over-active imagination, I doubt I ever penned a Super Bowl yarn that ended with the Seahawks winning 43-8. I used to wear Hawaiian shirts WITH fish ties back then, but even that little weirdo I used to be would have thought "Woah, that's just bugfuck crazy!" I've been envisioning this Championship moment for thirty years, and those daydreams betrayed my own lack of confidence. In those mental movies, the Seahawks would mightily struggle, and hoist the Lombardi Trophy only after edging their opponents in a heart-stopping XXV or XXIII-esque affair. I could allow myself to dream about us somehow getting to the top of the mountain, and taking a brief look around before we trudged back to base camp battered, bruised and exhausted. I never seriously entertained a different notion: What if, when the Seahawks finally won it all, they were one of the greatest teams of all time? What if they strutted to the top of the mountain and built a fucking mansion up there?
The 2013 Seattle Seahawks are the best NFL team the 21st century has yet seen, and one of the Top 10 teams of the Super Bowl era. They evoke comparisons to the 1984 Niners and 1992 Cowboys- Youthful teams filled with speed, blessed with brains and fueled by blind rage and an appetite for brutality. Before the revisionist history takes hold about XLVIII (Peyton is "old," the Broncos weren't that great, blah blah blah), let's remember that the Seahawks were three-point underdogs. They were facing the most terrifyingly efficient offensive machine in NFL history- A unit that scored a league-record 606 points and was led by NFL MVP Peyton Manning, who shattered every significant single-season passing benchmark in the NFL's record books. Super Bowl XLVIII was supposed to be the capstone to Manning's superlative career- A second World Championship would ensure that he'd be remembered as perhaps the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. Then... This happened...
A whole lot of THAT happened, and the Seahawks ruined King Peyton's meticulously prepared coronation with the greatest defensive performance in the history of professional football. Seattle boasted the first defense to lead the NFL in points allowed, yards allowed and takeaways since the 1985 Chicago Bears, and they showed the largest television audience in American history why they deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as those '85 Bears, the '00 Ravens, and the '02 Buccaneers. For three quarters, the Legion of Boom & Company shut out history's most explosive offense, and at the final whistle they had SINGLEHANDEDLY outscored them 9-8. They disrupted Manning's rhythm all day, forced him into three turnovers, and imposed vicious punishment upon his receivers every time they touched the ball.
Wow! That was awesome, right? You know how many people were actually AT that game? 36, 320. That's it. The game was blacked out on local TV, and the only reason I saw it live was because I was in the Dome. The ascendant Sonics and Mariners ruled the Seattle sporting landscape, and our Californian owner was in the middle of a brazen attempt to relocate the Seahawks to Los Angeles. That awful reality was bad enough, but even worse was the fact that NO ONE SEEMED TO CARE if the Hawks skipped town.
Some of us did. Some of us were the Seattle pro football equivalent of those Irish monks who preserved civilization through the Dark Ages. We were the ones wearing Joey Galloway jerseys when all of our friends were reppin' Junior or Shawn Kemp. We endured watching talented Seahawks teams hobbled by incompetent ownership flounder and stumble to 8-8 finish after 8-8 finish. We were the ones who pestered all of our friends into voting for R48 in the summer of 1997. As I wrote in this space once before:
I felt kinda isolated with my Galloway jersey and my love for a team that hadn't even posted a winning record since 1990. I was terrified that R48 would fail, Paul Allen would bolt, and the team would quickly become the L.A. Blackhawks or something. It passed statewide by 51.1% to 48.9%, or by just a hair under 37,000 votes. That was far less than the throngs who packed the Kingdome for M's games back then.
I was going to Western at the time, and I had a weekly talk show on KUGS-FM called The Democratic Circus. I pushed HARD for my listeners to vote yes on R48, and I like to think I played a tiny part in its victory... Look at the Whatcom County (Bellingham) results:
Yes 23794
No 23361
Sure, only about 100 people listened to my show on a GOOD night, but I like to imagine that a chunk of that 433 vote margin were folks swayed by my cogent, heartfelt arguments.
Another anecdote illustrates how much things have changed since Paul Allen took over... Everyone has their own story about the 9/11 atrocities, but mine actually touches on the Hawks. I went to the season opener in Cleveland on September 9, and I was leaving the next day to visit my family and college friends in the Northwest. The plan was fly to Pasco, hang out with my family in the Tri-Cities, then go to Seattle and, among other things, catch the Chiefs game on September 16.
We all remember that game was postponed after the mass murder of 9/11, and I understood why, but having a game to go to that Sunday sure would have made ME feel better. I was out at breakfast that Sunday with a friend, wearing my Hasselbeck jersey. I admitted to her that I was depressed about the game being postponed, and this total stranger overhears me. He then snorts:
"Seahawks? Who gives a crap about THEM?"
I looked over to see this gastropod in an M's cap and a Ichiro jersey, obviously enjoying the Mariners' 116-win regular season... and hey, who could blame him? But I fucking SNAPPED.
"Who cares? I DO! I've been a fan since I was 8 years old.. I'd bet a million dollars you didn't own a scrap of Mariners gear before August of 1995, man..."
He gave me a VERY dirty look, but also shut the fuck up. Now do a thought experiment: Can you imagine a scenario where that would happen NOW? I can't. Thank you, Paul Allen.
I've been thinking about that guy today, wondering if he'll attend the Victory Parade or Celebration Rally at Seahawks Stadium. If so, that's cool. I'd never want anyone to NOT root for the Seahawks. New Twelves are always welcome in our big ol' tent. But I hope he reads this, and understands that if people like him had held sway back in the Ken Behring Dark Ages, that parade isn't happening in Seattle today. For those of us who have been waiting for this our whole lives, it's unfathomably satisfying- We're not only Champions, we just got to cheer on one of the greatest NFL teams of all time... A team that not only went 13-3 and boasted a historically great defense, but also beat Drew Brees, a Niners team that would have won the Super Bowl in almost any other season this century, and Peyton Manning to reach Pro Football's pinnacle (and today's parade probably won't be the last one the Seahawks have through the winding streets of Seattle in the years to come).
We earned this moment. Revel in it. Remember every detail. We're Champions together, and nothing will ever be the same. I love you guys. Thanks for being with me on the wildest ride of our lives.

Have a read of this article. The first two thirds of it go on about Curry's performance late in the game against recently against the Kings but it is the end of the article that is compelling:
The other main MVP candidates are great, but flawed. Russell Westbrook's team isn't that good and is hamstrung by his being a system player (the system: Russ controls the ball), and Russ stat-pads. James Harden has been spectacular on offense and in my opinion will win the MVP vote, but is still bad on defense (#75 out of 99 SGs by DRPM, also fits eye test). Kawhi Leonard has astounding robotic efficiency on both ends and plays for the second best, maybe best current team in the league. But his on-off numbers are amazingly bad. The Spurs do fine without him in the lineup, so how valuable has he actually been?
LeBron James was my MVP pick (until the Cavaliers starting stinking up the league), but he and Curry will never win it due to voter fatigue.
Now to our man Curry. For a good start, read Jeremias Engelmann, who pushed Curry for MVP at ESPN.
In short, Curry has the best plus-minus in the league, even better than Kevin Durant's. This is simply the game margin when you're on the court. In fact, Curry is on track to have the 4th best plus-minus season in history. (#1 Dray 15-16, #2 Curry 15-16, #3 14-15, #4 LBJ 08-09, #5 Curry this year right now.)
The Warriors are the best team in the league and Curry's on-off numbers are much stronger than Durant's.
In fact Curry's on-off numbers is the highest of the MVP candidates, except for LeBron (+16.9), who is disqualified for mailing it in this last month. This shows how much better or worse your presence makes your team, measured in game margin per 100 possessions.
Curry +15.5
Westbrook +13.7
Durant, +7.4
Harden +1.9
Leonard +0.5
So, Curry is the most impactful player, leader of the best team, he made space for another great talent, boosted up Durant's stats and let the public say Durant took over the team, and generally gave up his image/reality as the best player in the league, all for winning.
Now let's look at these crass counting stats, straight out of a 1983 newspaper box score.
We won't use the stats that really show off Curry's impact, like advanced stats (Curry #2 in loose balls recovered, #11 deflections, #3 in Defensive Win Shares), hockey-style secondary assists (Curry #1 by a lot), screen assists (Curry #1 for guards by a lot). And no measures of shot difficulty.
First, despite an off-year shooting by his standards, Curry already has the third most three-pointers for a season in history, and will probably move into the #2 position, passing Curry 14-15, behind at #1 the alien who played as Curry in 15-16.
Second, Curry's season line is 24.9/4.4/6.3/1.7. Kind of a bad year for Curry, right? I wonder how many players have ever put up a mediocre stat line like that? 50? 20?
Let's list all the players who've ever had a season with those stats:
Clyde Drexler 1991-92
Dwyane Wade 2005-06, 2006-07, 2008-09, 2009-10
James Harden 2014-15
Larry Bird 1985-86, 1986-87
LeBron James 2004-05, 2007-08
Michael Jordan 1988-89, 1989-90
Russell Westbrook 2014-15
Stephen Curry 2015-16
A handful of Hall of Famers (current and future) having very good years. But you can reach counting stats by just hogging the ball. Which of the great seasons above had shooting as efficient as Curry's current True Shooting Percentage of .618? Half? A quarter? Let's list them:
Stephen Curry 2015-16
Welp. We take Steph Curry for granted, don't we?
Curry is not close to the best athlete even currently in the nba, probably not even in the top half of current nba players, but he is arguable the most skilled player ever. The fact that he is on his own the last two seasons as the above information indicates is phenomenal.
