In July of 2011, New Hampshire governor John Lynch vetoed a bill that would have required New Hampshire voters to show photo ID before entering the polls. "Voter turnout in New Hampshire is among the highest in the nation, election after election. There is no voter fraud problem in New Hampshire," said Governor Lynch in a statement last summer. "We already have strong election laws that are effective in regulating our elections." Not surprisingly, the governor was outraged last week when a watchdog group, Project Veritas, organized an undercover sting operation to test the veracity of his reassurances. What they found was appalling, if not unexpected.
The incidents, which were recorded on hidden cameras, involved actors entering multiple polling places and obtaining ballots using the names of deceased voters. Some of these late voters had been dead for well over a year. When the actors explained that they had forgotten to bring any ID with them, they were told by poll workers that New Hampshire law didn't require them to show ID. In each case, the actors, feigning shock, said they would feel more comfortable if they went out to their vehicles to get their ID. According to Project Veritas, none of the actors cast a vote with the ballots they had acquired during the sting.
Voter Fraud Video on YouTube.
Furthermore, in an official statement about the investigative videos, Project Veritas explained,
"not a single one of our citizen journalists broke any laws or misrepresented themselves in any way to election officials or anyone else while filming this report. They simply inquired to poll workers if a certain individual's name was present on the voter list, and were then offered a ballot with no further questions…"
Shockingly, rather than owning that, in light of the expose, measures should be taken to make the system in New Hampshire more effective, Governor Lynch has condemned the sting operation altogether and is calling for Project Veritas to be prosecuted for obtaining ballots under false pretenses.
"I think it is outrageous that we have out-of-staters coming into New Hampshire, [said the governor] coming into our polling places and misrepresenting themselves to the election officials, and I hope that they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, if in fact they're found guilty of some criminal act."
Joining the governor in this blatant refusal to acknowledge the facts are Keith Olbermann, Ryan Reilly and MSNBC's Al Sharpton. Sharpton's coverage bears the heading, "James O'Keefe has another run-in with the law," and over the course of the bitterly partisan six-minute session of commentary, Sharpton calls O'Keefe "the professional smear artist who was behind the fake ACORN scam," and adds that O'Keefe "sent his cohorts out to fraudulently collect ballots in New Hampshire."
Olbermann states: "…James O'Keefe has struck again, exposing the non-existent problem of voter fraud in New Hampshire. The conservative filmmaker and others working on behalf of Project Veritas are now facing a criminal investigation by [New Hampshire's] attorney general. There is every indication that O'Keefe and his colleagues committed voter fraud at primary polling locations Tuesday night."
So, wait. Let me get this straight – citizen journalists conduct a sting operation for the purpose of raising concern about voter fraud and when they release the tapes they are the ones who get charged with voter fraud?
"Has voter fraud ever been a problem in New Hampshire?" Olbermann asks of Ryan Reilly in an interview devoted almost solely to discrediting Project Veritas.
"You know, it really – there's no evidence that it has," responds Reilly. "Specifically in-person voter – impersonation fraud hasn't been an issue, nor has it been across the country."
Project Veritas' actors were given a similar story by Ryk Bullock, the New Hampshire Ward Moderator whom they consulted for the purpose of expressing their concerns about the possibility of voter fraud. When asked whether fraudulent impersonation could occur, Bullock explained,
"It could, it could…[But] I've been here 43 years and, to the best of my knowledge, I've never had it happen. In theory, it could happen…"
But it doesn't happen, they assure us. It can, of course, as there aren't sufficient safeguards to prevent it (as demonstrated by the recent sting). But it won't.
Should we find this nonchalance reassuring, or should it cause us to become doubtful about the integrity of the officials and media moguls who continue to drill us in the unconstitutionality of photo ID laws? When we stop to consider, we will realize that every vote cast fraudulently cancels out the vote of some conscientious citizen who took care to register legally and provide the required information in order to be able to perform his or her civic duties. The argument that such votes will not be cast even though they can be is absurd. It's like arguing that we shouldn't have lifeguards at public pools where no one is ever known to have drowned, or suggesting that we abolish fire departments in areas that have never been ravaged by forest fires.
Voting legally is a fairly painless process. I recently registered to vote in Texas, and it could hardly have been easier. I signed up online to receive the simple registration form, which was mailed to me. After filling it out, I dropped it in my mailbox. I didn't even have to pay for postage. Under pending photo ID laws, voters will be able to flash any form of government-issued photographic identification at the polls. This could be a drivers' license, passport, gun permit card, or any ID card issued by your local DMV office. Registered voters who do not possess photo ID will be provided with the necessary ID by The Department of Safety and Homeland Security at no charge. As photo ID is already required for the purchase of tobacco or alcohol products, vehicle rentals and banking transactions, it is safe to assume that most citizens of legal voting age will already be in possession of such ID. The only residents who might have difficulty in obtaining photographic identification are – well, non-citizens. And they aren't allowed to vote anyway.
So, what is all of the fuss really about? That's a good question. Perhaps Keith Olbermann answers it best himself,
"The right wing's fixation with voter fraud is largely used as a justification for passing restrictive ballot access measure designed to suppress voter turnout among people who tend to vote for Democrats."
Exactly who are these "people who tend to vote for Democrats"? People who can't obtain photo ID? Wait, that means they're probably illegal.
Will new photo ID laws cause some hassle for those legal citizens who don't already possess the necessary identification and are forced to get a lift down to their local DMV office? Yes. But as Thomas Sowell reminds us, "There are no solutions….there are only tradeoffs." Inconveniencing a miniscule percentage of the population in order to protect the votes of millions of legal Americans sounds like a pretty good tradeoff to me.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and quit your radio show. Who can possibly do a radio show in this country if people are going to get mad at you for saying racial epithets repeatedly? It's not fair! LET'S GO!
TOP CHEF – 9:00PM (Bravo – An NBC/Universal network) I'm conflicted about Kenny getting the boot last week. Kenny was obviously not as super awesome as he always talked himself up to be. Every dish had to be some elaborate duo of something that often didn't work. I think Kenny talked so much about being the "beast" or whatever that it was easy to just believe him and go along with it. So maybe he was wildly overrated. That said, I KNOW he was better than Alex or Amanda. They're awful, and Alex should have been booted last week strictly for being such a dirtbag to his wait staff, and then bragging about what a jerk he is to his wait staff back home. He might be the most unappealing human being in Top Chef history. Yet they let him hang around, just to annoy everyone. He's the Robyn of this season.
Anyway, I hope he loses tonight's CIA challenge. What are they cooking tonight? I could tell you, but then I'd have to think about killing you and then file a request that has to go through 17 layers of bureaucracy only to get rejected by some middle manager who knows nothing about doing good field work. Also, Kevin named his home restaurant Rat's. What chef with a brain does this? Why doesn't he just open a sister restaurant called Roach's and be done with it? He may as well open a direct deposit account to the Board of Health. Awful name. ANTICIPATION: RIGGED FOR DRAMA!
SURVIVING THE CUT – 10:00PM (Discovery) This new Discovery Channel show profiles students at the nation's elite military schools, trying to survive a series of brutal training exercises. Tonight, it's the Army Rangers. You might know the Rangers as the unit Pat Tillman joined before being killed in Afghanistan. Rangers are forced to train out in the field for days at a time, with little to no food, water, or sleep to aid them. Yep, this'll make you feel inadequate. ANTICIPATION: DIFFICULT!
HOW I LOST 100 LBS. – 10:00PM (Discovery Health) Five formerly obese people detail the unique ways in which they were about to drop a C-note. I think you and I both know meth will factor in to at least one of them. ANTICIPATION: METH YOURSELF THIN!
HARD KNOCKS – 10:00PM (HBO) I can't link to it due to foul language, but I implore you to look around and find Rex Ryan's speech to his team from last week's episode. It's everything I've ever wanted a football coach to yell at me. Both Rex Ryan's mom and coaching legend Tony Dungy have pilloried Ryan for using foul language on the show. I swear, if he tones it down this week just to satisfy those tightwads, I'll f#&@ing f*^% their #$^$%^$&@^@%$$#%s. ANTICIPATION: F BOMBS!
MAN VS. FOOD – 9:00PM (Travel Channel) Adam eats a Big Ugly Burger. Unless it was made in a prison, no burger is ugly to me. I see the beauty in each of them. ANTICIPATION: HANDSOME MEAT!
Wednesday Watch List: Top Chef Is Rigged!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and quit your radio show. Who can possibly do a radio show in this country if people are going to get mad at you for saying racial epithets repeatedly? It's not fair! LET'S GO!

NAIROBI (Reuters) - With a history of pro-democracy activism and an unconventional streak, Kenya's chief justice has won broad support for his campaign to clean up the country's discredited judicial system.
Now, with a nation's expectations weighing on his shoulders, 65-year-old Justice Willy Mutunga must rule on a disputed presidential election in the biggest test yet of the country's newly reformed judiciary.
Defeated presidential candidate Raila Odinga's decision to challenge the result in court is already a dramatic shift from 2007, when he lost in another disputed election but called for protests because he said the judiciary could not be trusted to be fair.
The tribal violence in the weeks that followed that vote led to a new constitution that gave Kenyans a reformed judiciary and a new chief justice, Mutunga, breaking the mould of presidential appointees who were seen as political insiders.
For Kenyans, the hard-won democratic gains are now at stake.
Whatever Mutunga rules, upholding Uhuru Kenyatta's victory or deciding in Odinga's favor, he will face a tough job convincing the losers that his court has not again played politics. He has already faced some sniping from critics who suggest he is too close to Odinga and question his ability to be impartial.
But Mutunga's background as a lawyer who was detained in the 1980s for challenging the autocratic government at that time means he may stand a better chance than predecessors in ensuring his final ruling, due by March 30, wins popular acceptance.
"People have never had as much faith in the chief justice as they do in Willy Mutunga," said John Githongo, a former anti-corruption official turned whistleblower. "Before now there has never been this level of confidence in the judiciary."
Odinga alleges the poll was rigged and said Kenyatta's win had put "democracy on trial". Kenyatta said the vote was fair. Both have promised to abide by the Supreme Court's ruling that could throw out Odinga's challenge or order a re-run.
Kenyatta secured 50.07 percent of the vote to Odinga's 43.28 percent but only just scraped enough votes, a little more than 8,100 of the 12.3 million cast, to avoid a second round run-off.
Mutunga opened the petition hearing on Wednesday, sporting his habitual diamond ear-stud, something that too many Kenyans symbolizes his readiness to challenge convention and establishment.
The judiciary was long considered a rotten institution that served corrupt interests of the political and business elite. A well-worn joke in Kenya that highlighted the lack of trust went: "Why hire a lawyer when you can buy a judge?"
"The chief justice in those days was considered as an insider within government," said George Kegoro, director of the International Commission of Jurists in Kenya. "Willy Mutunga is not an insider of this government."
Mutunga, a former law lecturer and reform activist, was appointed chief justice in mid 2011. His nomination underscored a determination to clean up the judiciary from the outside in and was widely seen as a deliberate snub to long-serving judges.
Throughout his early career Mutunga challenged the state's stranglehold on Kenyan society. At the turn of the 1980s, during the early years of former President Daniel Arap Moi's autocratic rule, the lecturer at the University of Nairobi was part of an underground movement seen as a hotbed of alternative thinking.
Mutunga was detained without trial between 1982-83 as Moi's government cracked down on dissent. Afterwards, he left Kenya for Canada where he pursued a doctorate and linked up with other Kenyan rights activists in North America.
Maina Kiai, who co-founded the Kenya Human Rights Commission with Mutunga during those years abroad, told Reuters the chief justice, who he said had grown up poor in an unequal society, stood by the same values that spurred his early activism.
"He has been a resolute defender of human rights and democracy, he's for social justice and his focus is very much on lifting the country so everyone has an equal opportunity," said Kiai, who has also challenged Kenyatta's win in a separate suit by civil society group Africa Centre for Open Governance.
Accepting the job as Kenya's top judge, Mutunga said it should no longer be possible to talk about corruption and the judiciary in the same breath. He warned judges they must guard against becoming captives of political and commercial interests.
But he has already had to fight off accusations of bias, spurred on by comments attributed to him praising Odinga.
"I am convinced that Kenya's transition needs Raila as the president of this country," Mutunga was quoted as saying in Babafemi A. Badejo's biography of Odinga.
Two weeks before the vote, Mutunga said had received threats from the Mungiki criminal gang. The group wanted to prevent any obstacles to a presidential bid by Kenyatta, who faces charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court.
"Let no individual, group, candidate or supporter imagine that cowardly and dark acts such as these will cower us," Mutunga told a news conference.
Kenyatta's Jubilee coalition condemned the threats. But some in the coalition question whether Mutunga can be impartial.
"There are two Mutungas. Mutunga the professional is totally professional. Sometimes the Mutunga the activist conquers Mutunga the professional. There is a battle there," said Moses Kuria, a strategist for Kenyatta's Jubilee coalition.
Mutunga helped Kuria and other student leaders in 1992 win a case when they were threatened with expulsion from university for campaigning against Moi's government. But Kuria said he was concerned by Mutunga's published comments regarding Odinga.
"I have got worries at the same time," Kuria said. "I would hope that the same Mutunga I knew 20 years ago is the same Mutunga that is going to preside over this petition."
Mutunga promises Kenyans an impartial hearing and for the moment at least he enjoys a good deal of public confidence.
Reflecting the thoughts of many, Paul Maina, a 32-year-old banker, said: "I believe the Supreme Court ruling will be a test for the judiciary. I have no reason to doubt the court."
Mutunga has overseen the vetting of judges. Magistrates are being put through the same rigorous examination. He has striven to streamline the courts and root out corruption.
"He has a rock-steady history for which he has paid a very high personal price," said former anti-graft czar Githongo. "That gives him a level of credibility and legitimacy going into this that is not shared by anyone else."
Odinga's challenge, though, will be a stern test of the public's confidence. The election race divided the nation. More than 40 percent of those who cast ballots backed Odinga.
Before the vote Mutunga issued notice to politicians that the rule of law would triumph over whatever decisions they made.
"I have given most of my life to a better Kenya and if taking it is what will be required to consolidate and secure our democratic gains in this election, or even thereafter, that is a price I am not afraid to pay," Mutunga said.

Gasol, Marshall lead Lakers over Jazz
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pau Gasol had 23 points and 17 rebounds, and the injury-riddled Los Angeles Lakers used their sixth different starting point guard of the season Friday night in a 110-99 victory over the Utah Jazz.
Kendall Marshall was given the assignment by coach Mike D'Antoni, who has used 18 different starting lineups this season. He was the 14th player to start a game for the Lakers overall, finishing with 20 points and 15 assists in 40 minutes — all career highs.
Marshall's other three starts in the NBA came last season with Phoenix, and the Suns lost all three games despite his 37 assists. He spent 2 weeks with the Delaware 87ers of the D-League before the Lakers signed him on Dec. 20.
The victory snapped a six-game losing streak for the Lakers, who concluded a four-game stretch against teams that are last in their respective divisions — including a 105-103 loss last Friday at Utah, a 111-104 loss against Philadelphia and a 94-79 loss to Milwaukee.
Gordon Hayward scored 22 points for the Jazz.
Gasol missed that game because of a respiratory infection, joining Kobe Bryant, Steve Blake and Steve Nash on a lengthy infirmary list that also has included Jordan Farmar, Xavier Henry, Wesley Johnson and Chris Kaman. Johnson was back in the lineup and was the first player off D'Antoni's depleted bench, getting 11 points in 22 minutes after missing Tuesday's game because of gastroenteritis.
Trailing by 21 points with 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Utah narrowed the gap to 90-86 with a 19-7 run capped by Enes Kanter's short jumper with 4:47 to play. But Nick Young responded with a 20-footer to ignite a game-ending 16-9 run that was highlighted by 3-pointers 30 seconds apart by Jodie Meeks and Marshall.
Gasol led the Lakers to a 52-40 halftime lead with 16 points and eight rebounds, while Marshall had nine assists and seven points. Utah, trying for its first three-game winning streak of the season after beating Charlotte and Milwaukee at home, missed 12 of its first 15 shots while Los Angeles opened the game with a 19-6 run. Each of the Lakers' first 14 rebounds came off the defensive glass.
The Jazz, who came in 17th in the league in 3-point shooting percentage at 34.9, came up empty on their first nine attempts from behind the arc before Richard Jefferson connected with 4:04 left in the second quarter.
NOTES: With Bryant not close to returning from his fractured left knee, the Lakers already have been bumped from two nationally scheduled telecasts on the original cable schedule — Jan. 8 at Houston (ESPN) and Jan. 20 at Chicago (TNT). … Marshall began his freshman season at North Carolina as a backup point guard to Larry Drew II, before coach Roy Williams made him a starter. In one game, he had 16 assists to help beat Florida State. As a sophomore, he set an ACC single-season record with 351 assists. … The Jazz already have lost a league-worst 19 games by double-digit margins, just two fewer than they did all of last season.

Recall Alert! Fisher-Price Pulls Rock 'N Play Infant Sleepers
Jan 2013
Early this morning, the CPSC and Fisher-Price Inc. announced a voluntary recall of about 800,000 Newborn Rock 'n Play Sleeper™ based out of the company's East Aurora, N.Y. importer to inspect for mold. If you are in possession of a Rock 'n Play, the CPSC and Fisher-Price advise you to stop using it immediately if mold is found. Units currently in retail stores are not included in this recall.
The major concern is that mold can develop between the removeable seat cushion and the hard plastic frame of the sleeper if it is weight and/or infrequently cleaned. The CPSC advises that mold has been associated with respiratory illnesses and other infections in infants. Although mold may not be not present at the time of purchase, mold growth can occur after use of the product.
At the time of the recall, Fisher-Price received 600 reports of mold on the product, with sixteen customers reporting that they had their infants treated for respiratory issues, coughs and hives after sleeping in the product.
If you purchased the sleeper at mass merchandise stores nationwide or online since September 2009, your product is subject to recall. Sleepers sold in retail stores are not affected by this recall.
Contact the Fisher-Price for cleaning instructions and further assistance at service.mattel.com/us or by contacting the firm at (800) 432-5437.

|The head was modeled in 3ds Max based off of photos I had Jen take. The final triangle count was 370. I designed it so it could fit over my head, sit on my shoulders and then be held down by a jacket.
|The texture with wireframe overlaid. Original texture was 4096 square.
|The texture was done with Mudbox 2010 and Photoshop CS3. The projection features work great to get a texture down quickly. After that I used the new export screen to PSD feature to clean up the texture and remove shadows. It works better then anything else I've tried because you can export an image 4 times the size of your actual screen resolution.
|I used Pepakura to break the model up into printable sections. I only really used it to get some UV's out of it. Unfortunately the base version of the program only supports 1024 textures. The benefit of using Pepakura is that it ensures that all your UV's are the same scale relative to each other (extremely important when you are printing and folding) and it can calculate how big the folded model will be. You can also export a wire frame overlay with tabs for gluing in vector format.
|I then loaded the new UV's into the second UV channel on the model in max. I used TexTools to transfer the texture from the original texture page to the Pepakura UV's. Max's projection tools were causing problems at hard angles around the ears and wouldn't pad. Textools did it perfectly and padded the texture. I doubled the texture page to 8192 because I didnt want any detail loss. It printed at 157 dpi. I cropped each piece out and sent to the printer. It ended up being 28 letter sized pages.
|Cutting and folding up the pieces as they are coming out of the printer. I used 61 pound matte paper.

This article is part of our fantasy football advice & strategy series.
Let's get to the point – I'm here today to sell you on the joy of the fantasy football auction. It's fun, it's funky, and it will put more enjoyment – and more skill – in your league. And at the end of the year, you might have more money in your pocket.
Let's start with some Q and A, and then we'll get into my personal auction principles. There's a lot to cover, so bring a notebook – and maybe a calculator.
Why even bother having an auction? We usually draft.
With all due respect to the joy of draft day, my unofficial poll suggests that auctions are a lot more fun. They're also completely fair – anyone can own LaDainian Tomlinson or Ricky Williams if they want to pay the price. They add more skill to the game, most seem to think.
Of course, there are some cons to the auction way of life. A fantasy auction takes a lot longer than a draft. If one person has to leave early – or if one person gets bumped offline – it can throw a big wrench into everything. And there's more "grunt work" to be done at an auction – more accounting, more secretarial stuff, and obviously, you need an auctioneer too.
Still, auctions are pretty neat, and I really enjoy them.
So what do you know about them, anyway? Why should we listen to you?
I've got a pretty good track record in auctions. I don't have any specific stats in front of me, but I know I've won auction-based fantasy leagues in baseball, football, basketball and golf. The only hockey auction I can ever remember being in, I came in third. I've won a couple of team auctions, too (major-league baseball, NCAA basketball tournament).
Granted, I've had some train wrecks now and then – ToutWars comes to mind. But overall, I know I'm ahead of the game. I know auctions. I spend time on eBay. I own Adam Smith volumes. I've spent a lot of time with this stuff.
Okay, so what's the winning strategy?
I can't promise you that I know any secret formula that is guaranteed to bamboozle your opponents and lead you to glory. I just know what has worked, more often than not, for me.
And understand that I will never argue that there's just one way to "win" at the auction table; just like multiple styles of play can win at poker, and just like multiple investment strategies can win on the stock market, I firmly believe that multiple schools of thought can lead to a successful fantasy auction.
Here are some of the guidelines and principles that have worked for me in fantasy auctions (draft players pay attention as well; there is some overlap in the strategy):
General Principle 1 – Come to the table with a plan, but make sure it's a flexible one.
I'm always amazed when I hear stories of fantasy owners making definitive judgments and final decisions on their auction strategy (or drafting strategy) long before the event takes place, and then refusing to budge from those principles once the game begins. Huge mistake!
Sure, you might want to fool around with some dollar values beforehand, or look back to how things went last year, or figure out some formula, or form a general design of where you want to spend your money.
That's all fine. But just because your Running Back Valuation Index says a player is worth $28 does not mean you can't bid $32 on that player on auction day. Maybe you just saved some money elsewhere, and you really need that specific player because he's the last legitimate RB left. Maybe the market value on the top backs was more than you expected, and that player is really a bargain because the RBs ahead of him all went in the $40s.
It might make sense to lay the extra cash. It's all relative.
It can work in the other direction, as well. Maybe you planned on skipping the "receiver trinity" because you knew they'd be too expensive. But if the bidding on an elite wide reciever stops at some crazy low price, why not jump in?
You have to allow for some on-the-spot judgments to be made. If your draft manifesto is anything more than a general guide, then all you're really doing is handcuffing yourself to your own stubbornness.
General Principle 2 – You have to be an accountant.
It can be a pain in the neck at times, but you *must* track every owner during the auction if you want to have any success in the midgame and endgame. It's essential that you know what they've spent, how many roster spots they've already filled, and what they still need to get.
It's possible to track this without using the actual players bought (simply make a position grid and X-out the appropriate spot when a player is sold), but I recommend using the actual player names. It's up to you.
Accounting 101 turns into Accounting 202 when the midgame and endgame set in. Get in the habit of figuring out what a team's maximum bid is left – it's not a hard calculation to make.
In an auction that uses dollar increments, if your opponent has five players left to buy and $13 to do it, his maximum bid on any player is $9 – he could buy four players for a buck, then max out for $9 on the final player. For you algebra fans, it's (m-p) + $1, where m equals money left, and p equals players left to buy.
General Principle 3 – Constantly evaluate and re-evaluate the player pools.
This is very important in any league, draft or auction – make sure you stay in touch with the "personality" of every positional pool. Are all the stud quarterbacks gone? Do you still see 10 running backs you'd bid up to $5? How many of your breakthrough receivers are still on board?
Without doing on-the-spot surveying of the pools every so often, you won't know when to jump in and out of the marketplace. Try to see the trends and patterns before they become blatantly obvious to everyone else. Always be asking yourself, "if I don't get Player A, what's my Plan B? If I can't work Plan B, what's my Plan C?"
One common mistake I see a lot of players make is that they get "too social" at the auction or draft, to the point that they stop looking at the auction as a strategic competition. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for camaraderie and yukking it up with the guys, too. But when the room starts bidding up a star player that you don't want or need, take that down time and do some planning, some evaluating, some prospecting.
Don't get thrown for a curve – be ahead of it. Just like the champion poker player who is always evaluating something, or someone, you really don't want to stop thinking at the auction table (other than a periodic break now and then just to refresh yourself).
The corollary to this is that you also need to be constantly evaluating what your opponents are doing – what have they bought, what have they spent, and what do they still need? Most fantasy players are already used to doing this, so I won't belabor that point.
General Principle 4 – The smaller the league, the more top-heavy your roster can be.
When I leave a fantasy baseball auction, I usually measure my roster's strength by my weakest player. The goal is to have no weak links, no black holes. I feel in fantasy baseball you need all 23 (or 24) guys to win, more often than not.
Fantasy football rosters are a lot smaller, usually, and the starting core for fantasy football is on average less than half of what a fantasy baseball owner would typically use. With that, a star football player makes a far greater an impact on your bottom line than a star baseball player does.
The balanced-roster theme that can work so well in baseball doesn't always translate to football. If you don't have one of the primary studs, you usually can't win a football league – unless you play in an unorthodox league with gigantic rosters. (Go back and see who won your football leagues last year – you'll see the same handful of names on the cashing clubs.)
With all this in mind, my strategy for a baseball auction is usually different than that for a football auction. When it's MLB and I'm looking for 23 good starting players, I'll be patient and looking for a deep, balanced club that has no deadweight.
When it's NFL and I need to have some of the upper crust to have a chance, I'm much more likely to be aggressively bidding, early and often, when top names come out, even at the risk of having scrubs fill out the end of the bench. The smaller the league, the more important it is to get those blue chips.
General Principle 5 – Avoid doing the league's "grunt work" if you can.
You might laugh, but it is actually kind of fun to play auctioneer, and when your league is looking for a volunteer for that job, it's tempting to say yes. Alas, if you're really serious about getting the hardware, don't raise your hand. It takes away from the work you need to do, for one, and it's got a sneaky way of being tiring, for another thing.
The one good part about being auctioneer, albeit it's a little shady, is that you can control how fast players are bought and sold. Your archrival is getting a good player for a song? Sell him really s-l-o-w-l-y. This isn't something I'd ever do, but I have observed it in action. More than anything, this underscores why the auctioneer for any league should be someone who has no stake in the league whatsoever.
Your league might ask for a draft secretary volunteer, as well. For all the obvious reasons, skip this.
Now let's focus on some of the strategies specific to bidding.
Bidding Principle 1 – Vary your nomination style.
We realize that you probably talk football a lot with your buddies, so to some degree they probably know what players and teams you like and don't like. It's not a big secret, not a hush-hush thing. That said, there's nothing wrong with keeping your cards concealed at the auction table, so to speak, and with that, try to avoid being predictable if you can when it comes to nominating the next player up for bid.
A lot of auction players don't care about this – you'll see some who always chase after the player they nominate, while others will always throw out a name they don't want at all. Try to avoid falling into a pattern if you can avoid it.
All that said, when in doubt my early bids tend to be more of the second case above – in the early game I like to throw out the biggest marquee name on the board that I don't want (or perhaps don't need), for two reasons: 1, the player in question should take a healthy chunk out of someone else's bankroll – you want to see others spend money – and 2, watching the results of the bidding will help me gauge what sort of price I can expect to pay for a different star player of similar quality.
Alas, I'm certainly not a slave to that, either – if I were, I'd be too easy to read. I'll also nominate some stars that I do want, and I'm not afraid to toss out the name of a so-so player, or even a scrub, in the early game. Keep them guessing. Don't be too easy to read.
Bidding Principle 2 – When opening a bid, start with the minimum (most of the time).
This principle doesn't apply to the endgame, where overbids and financial situations often dictate opening a player for a quirky amount. But in the early and middle part of the game, you really want to start with the $1 call – or whatever the house minimum is – more often than not.
Trust me on this. You earn no points for being cute with a kooky amount to open – and in just about every auction I participate in, someone opens with a heavy bid on a player and lives to regret it. Maybe you didn't know about the injury. Maybe no one else can bid on the position and you didn't notice. Maybe the beer or caffeine has gone to your head.
Don't get cute. Start with the minimum.
The only time I can justify going against this principle (other than in the endgame) is if I'm trying the "Priceline Gambit" – throwing out what's essentially my max bid on a player, understanding that I'll get out if overbid. Sometimes a funky opener will catch your opponents off guard enough that you actually *do* get your player at that price.
Of course, in many cases, you could have had him cheaper. Old pros know how to sprinkle in the priceline gambit now and again, but it's not recommended for the auction rookies out there.
Bidding Principle 3 – If you're going to overpay, do so on a stud (or a known quality).
Okay, so maybe you had a running back set for $35 on your grid, and you wound up spending $41. You overpaid by $6 – fine. I can guarantee you feel better than the guy who had a quarterback set for $11 and wound up paying $17 for him, not to mention the guy who dumped into $8 on a lower-tier RB when other backs of that ilk went for a deuce.
Every auction will bring you some bargains and some tremendous discounts, here and there, but you'll probably going to have to overpay now and again, too. And with that in mind, be sure to use that overspend luxury on someone who's a difference-maker. Don't blow it on someone you're not sure of unless there's absolutely no way around it.
Bidding Principle 4 – Don't make promises you can't keep, or don't want to keep.
Said another way, try very hard to not make any late bid that you wouldn't be happy to win, or at least content to win. It's hard to avoid this, but you have to make the attempt, anyway.
I try to stay out of the late bidding on any player unless I see one of two situations: 1, it's a player I really want, or 2, I'm price enforcing because the previous bid was obscenely low – hence I actually do want the player at the current cost.
The reason I try to stay away from "fake bidding" just to jack up the price is that the move backfires far too often – and it totally sucks to be stuck with a player you don't want, at a price you don't like, at a time when you can't justify it. Heck, that sort of mistake can send even a smart owner on emotional tilt for the rest of the night.
If you stay silent when the bidding gets serious, it also sends a clear signal to your opponents – "I'm not in this one, so YOU can price enforce. I'm out of it." Granted, you can always jump in after the "going twice" call if the price is insanely low. But there's a lot to be said for keeping your mouth shut when it's not a player you want, or a price you can justify.
Yes, it's fun to bid and throw numbers out there, hear the wonderful sound of your own voice. But learn to get over it.
Bidding Principle 5 – Bid because it helps you, not because it hurts someone else.
This is closely related to the fourth bidding principle. Yes, it's tempting to play "screw your opponent". Sure, I understand that you figure he'll pay anything for a certain backup quarterback, say, because he's already landed that team's starter.
But what are you going to do when he leaves you holding the bag for the backup at $8, you have no need for another quarterback (and a backup at that), and that cash is really going to cripple you for the positions that you desperately need to address?
Don't assume that your opponents will run to you with trade options later in the year just because you have something they, in theory, desperately need. I've seen several owners refuse to trade for a logical position-fill player or backup for any number of rational and irrational reasons.
If you want to land a player because that player helps you, fine. But don't get caught up in targeting someone just to stick it to someone else – it will blow up in your face more often than you think.
Bidding Principle 6 – Don't blow cash over insignificant positions/slots.
A couple of young wide receivers were among my endgame targets for a recent RotoWire auction, if I could get either one of them for $1. If anyone said $2, I was content to pass – because in my mind, low-cost, high-upside wide receivers are in high supply, and I'm not going to make landing some of them for my bench a high priority.
The same goes for the kicking position – anyone who bids up a kicker in today's market is just wasting valuable cash as I see it – and usually for defense, too, though I know some leagues where I might approach that differently.
You're going to want the extra money to compete for the top-tier players. Don't blow it over your fifth receiver or backup tight end.
Bidding Principle 7 – In non-keeper leagues, final price doesn't matter.
This is where the "dollar value" geeks get in trouble now and then. It doesn't matter when the draft is over that you projected an elite tight end to be worth $17 and you actually paid $19 for him. All that matters going forward is that you own that elite tight end and a bunch of other players.
If you're not in a keeper league, don't get emotionally hyped up to what you're paying for players as the auction is proceeding. Just landed a bargain? Good for you. Just overpaid for someone? Hopefully you picked a good spot to do so. Ultimately these numbers don't mean a thing – you're throwing them all back at the end of the year, anyway.
Stay emotionally distant from that final pricetag. And once your season starts, no one has a price anymore – how the season plays out will determine who's worth a lot to you, and who isn't. Forget what you paid in August – do what's best for your team in October.
Bidding Principle 8 – Every now and then, throw them a curve.
You don't want to turn it into "Open Mic Night at the Chuckle Hut", but sometimes a little humor or out-and-out silliness can win you a bid. Give a corny reason why you're bidding on a player – his last name sounds like yours; you like his shoes; he's nice to kids; you don't have enough convicts on your roster.
While other owners are laughing, you might be sneaking a bargain through. Talk the player up. Talk him down. No one likes the auction player who never shuts up, but now and again this sort of levity is welcome in the room. And sometimes it can really work to your advantage.
Every so often it pays to be goofy with the numbers as well. Say you think a certain player is worth $15. As the other guys are going up by ones . . . $4, $5, $6 . . . maybe you should jump in with a $9 bid. You're still working with a tidy "profit" if you land that player, and yet the jump in increment can often throw an opponent off track.
This may sound like an over-simplification, but it really does happen. Just don't try it too many times – you run the risk of overpaying now and then when you really didn't need to.
Bidding Principle 9 – The ultimate jerk move – editorialize, editorialize, editorialize (not endorsed).
I'm not a fan of this in any way, but it happens in most of the leagues that I'm in, so I'm going to mention it. Table talk. Coffeehousing. It usually goes something like this:
– Sharp owner names a good, overlooked player for a buck.
– A shady rival knows that's a steal, but he can't bid. Instead, he says "wow, what a steal!"
– Some perpetual also-ran chimes in "two!"
In some leagues, this may not be frowned upon. I'm not endorsing it in any way. I'll let you guys sort it out.
Anyway, that's my take on auction draft strategy. I hope you found it interesting, if not enlightening.

I Am America (And So Can You!)
Realizing that "it takes more than thirty minutes a night to fix everything that's destroying America," Colbert bravely takes on the forces aligned to destroy our country—"whether they be terrorists, environmentalists, or Kashi brand breakfast cereals." His various targets include nature ("I've never trusted the sea. What's it hiding under there?"), the Hollywood Blacklist ("I would have named enough names to fill the Moscow phone book"), and atheists ("Imagine going through life completely duped into thinking that there's no invisible, omniscient higher power guiding every action on Earth. It's just so arbitrary!"). Colbert also provides helpful illustrations and charts ("Things That Are Trying to Turn Me Gay"), a complete transcript of his infamous speech at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner, and a special "Holiday" DVD, all of which add up to a book that is sure to be a bestseller and match the success of Colbert's former Daily Show boss Jon Stewart's America (The Book) .

I was shocked and saddened this weekend when I clicked on an email telling me that Erica Kennedy–fashion publicist turned writer turned author–had died. How I wished I could unclick it–the email, and the news. Today is no better: my head feels clouded, like I'm thinking through mud. My gut feels heavy, as though I ate a bowling ball for breakfast.
The thing is, I didn't even know her that well. When I was working on Undecided, her second novel, Feminista, had just been published. I honestly don't remember if I started following her on Twitter first, and that was how I found out about the book, or if someone (or Amazon) had recommended the book to me, and that was how I came to follow her. Regardless, so many of the themes in her book lined up so closely (I mean, eerily so) with the issues the real-live women I was profiling in Undecided were grappling with, I had to talk to her. And she was immediately receptive. We began chatting—or, you know, tweeting; soon enough she sent me a direct message with her email address. I was stunned and flattered by how generous she was with her time, how open she was with me about what she was going through–and had gone through–in her own life, and impressed by her sharp, decidedly un-sugar-coated take on society, pop culture, and Life As A Woman. (You can read an edited version of our interview here.)
We talked about the pressure to have it all—and what the hell that ridiculous message is supposed to mean, anyway—and its shadowy sister: grass is greener syndrome. Kennedy was honest—and enjoyably blunt—about how ambivalent she felt about her own success (as an NYT bestselling author, of a level that's unimaginable to many of us but that meant little to her); how sometimes she was envious of friends she'd gone to school with who'd gotten married and/or had kids very young, to hell with career… even though Kennedy herself did not particularly want children. She said the happiest time in her life was when she was finishing up Feminista, living in a small rental in Miami, far away from her more-permanent digs in New York. She'd write in the mornings, then ride her bike to the beach for a swim. A relatively mellow existence for the woman who'd taken on the big city—and won. The woman who'd talked Puff Daddy (back when he was called that) into ditching the hip hop gear in favor of sleek suits.
She was just so honest, so forthcoming and so real. She spoke and wrote so many of our truths–though I don't know to what extent she realized it. I asked her about Feminista's main character, Sydney, about how she sabotages herself, pushes people away, has so many moments of hot-messedness… and how it is that, despite all that, she's totally relatable. How did she manage to write such a character? And Kennedy said, while she knew she wanted to write a woman who was angry—one who could really embody all the anger women feel over the mismatch between the great expectations we're raised to believe are our due and the pressure we feel to be amazing and have it all and what's actually possible—she never expected the feedback she'd received. Never expected so many people would tell her how much they related to Sydney.
That's particularly wrenching to think of now.
Kennedy disclosed some darker things too. Things she asked I keep off of the blog (although-that generosity again–she said I was welcome to include any of it in the book, as it felt more removed; while much of her story is in the book, I opted to keep many of the very personal details out), and which I intend to keep to myself here, too. Many have speculated about how she died. I immediately wondered. Just typing those words makes my heart break a little more. Again, I didn't know her well, but I feel that I knew her.
We emailed back and forth for a while. I riffed on things she wrote. At one point, I hadn't heard from her in months, and then I got an email with a link to a story and a short line: Hey! What do you think about this? Might be something for your book. (I wrote about it on the blog; you can read that one here.)
Apparently, she was like that with countless people. A connector. A spark. A deep thinker and a deep feeler. Which can be rough for anyone—rougher still for some.
I'm so sorry that I'll never know her better – and so thankful that I knew her at all. As Roger Ebert tweeted upon learning the news: The world is a lesser place.
Indeed it is. Rest in peace, Erica.

For those women who have battled and survived breast cancer, the path of recovery is far from over. Breast cancer survivors can experience ongoing effects from the treatments as well as the time they spent with the disease. Treatments can cause menopausal symptoms, infertility, osteoporosis, and ongoing issues with body image, anxiety, and depression. Now there is new evidence available that shows a sustained practice of yoga can ease hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms in breast cancer survivors.
The program, entitled "Yoga of Awareness," utilizes gentle asana, breathing exercises, meditation techniques, group discussions, and the study of yoga principles. Very different from what we have become accustomed to seeing in our yoga classes, "Yoga of Awareness," is based on traditional yoga techniques and practices. All of which are "aimed at reducing stress and creating a heightened sense of awareness and acceptance about one's physical and mental state," says study co-author Laura Porter.

The women who participated in the study showed reductions in severity and frequency of hot flashes, and also less fatigue, joint pain, and sleep disturbance. They also reported less symptom-related distress and increased vitality. Menopausal symptoms in breast cancer survivors are severe and sudden, and due to the nature of the illness, conventional treatments are rarely an option.
Breast cancer survivor Kathie Billings says the healing does not end once you are deemed cancer free. The road as a survivor is so many things, "fearful but hopeful, lonely at times, learning to love a new body as it is now, moments of weakness and moments of strength. Being a survivor has given me a deeper sense of self awareness."
Through practicing yoga during her treatments Kathie laid a foundation for recovery and learned how to listen to her body and bring it into a resting state. Yoga helped her learn, "there is no normal. I have learned to find a new normal." The new normal for Billings now encompasses weight gain, fatigue, a lot of muscle and joint pain and depression. There is also the anxiety and fear of a reoccurrence that she tries hard not to think about, but still surfaces every now and then. She says that yoga has done a great deal to help her deal with the aftermath of the disease and her life as a survivor.
Though the research is still in its early stages, researchers noted that the practice can produce benefits now. With the help of a well-trained yoga instructor, asanas, pranayama, meditation and visualization can be tools to manage the mental anxiety and stress and lessen the menopausal symptoms of survivors. Billings notes, "Yoga has brought awareness to my body. It helps me in falling asleep, and it has assisted me in becoming much more intuitive to my own needs and the needs of others. It has taught me to be much more grounded on my feet and to stand tall in uncomfortable situations. Most of all, I feel security on my mat. I feel freedom…like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

- Profile: I've been collected AMVs since winter of 2000. I made my first music video in the spring of 2000 (the Soul Caliber one). I began my second video that summer, although it kind of fizzled out 2/3 of the way through after some intense editing to manually remove subtitles, and switching clips nearly ever second. (the average duration of a clip was less than 3 seconds). This video used Wedding Peach to "Move Your Body" by Eiffel 65.
My third project is/was for the DDR music video project. Turn Me On is the music I'm using. I'm kind of planning on releasing a video using the full version of the song sometime after AWA.
This summer, I hope to be able to spend some more time to play around with videos. Some things I'd like to do are a character profile of Faye Valentine, concentrating on her more angstful characteristics, "Too Much of Heaven" with AMS, find _some_ song with which to do YUA (OAV or movie) (I have yet to see a YUA only video), and perhaps something with Boku no Marie.
I'm currently making a video using AMS Movie footage. Because I'm so slow, it won't be the first AMS Movie video out, however, I'm willing to bet no one will have a similar idea (Belldandy is not the main character of this video). The music is "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon.
In other non-AMV related things, I'm Secretary of RIT Anime Club, and I've begun working with Megami Anime helping editing and timing their scripts.
I haven't made any AMVs in a while, and I have no plan to continue. Please enjoy those that I have made, and thank you for all your kind comments.

I went to Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut for the second time in a week Thursday night to see my favorite band in concert…..KISS. This was my second show on "The Hottest Show On Earth" Tour, I saw the show in Mansfield, MA two weeks before, and the third in the last year promoting the band's latest album SONIC BOOM (2009). Overall, this was the 18th time seeing KISS in concert dating back all the way to 1987! This time around I went to the show with a few friends, got a great meal again at Mohegan Sun and saw another awesome show.
Just like the Mansfield concert, KISS had two regular opening bands, The Academy Is and The Envy, and a band that won the Guitar Center contest for that show (that is actually from the Boston are and not Connecticut like I thought!), Tester. Just like the Mansfield concert, we opted not to go in for the opening bands and take our time at dinner. Showtime was 6:30pm and KISS doesn't hit the stage until at least 8:45pm so there were 2+ hours to kill. After dinner and a walk around the casino, we headed in the arena and straight to the merchandise stand. With no kids this time around, I figured I could get myself another tour shirt but it turned out there were no XXL t-shirts at any of the booths…..I found out that the order for the show didn't arrive. I wasn't going to go empty-handed so instead of $45 for a shirt (XXL is $5 more!), I went with the $70 zip hoodie! Why not give Paul & Gene more of my money? I've been doing it since I was a kid! We actually got to our seats in time to see the last two songs of The Academy Is, we heard an original and a cover of The Sweet's 'Fox On The Run'. Good thing they covered The Sweet because the original I heard wasn't impressive! We were in the arena a good hour before KISS took the stage and I was a little worried that the arena wasn't filling up, there were a lot of empty seats. What I didn't know was that KISS was being inducted into the Mohegan Sun Walk of Fame OUTSIDE the arena and the band made an appearance in the mall area! It figures I would miss something cool like that! By the time KISS took the stage it looked to me like most of the seats were filled…..Mohegan holds about 10,000 people for events but, with the big stage and the back not being sold, I estimate there were around 8000 people in attendance. On to the show…..
KISS setlist:
Modern Day Delilah
Cold Gin
Let Me Go Rock 'n' Roll
Firehouse (with Gene Simmons breathing fire)
Say Yeah
Crazy Crazy Nights
Calling Dr. Love
Shock Me (Tommy Thayer lead vocal)
(Guitar & Drum solo from Tommy Thayer & Eric Singer)
I'm An Animal
100,000 Years
(Bass solo, blood-spitting and flying from Gene Simmons)
I Love It Loud
Love Gun
(Guitar intro/solo from Paul Stanley featuring 'Whole Lotta Love')
Black Diamond (Eric Singer lead vocal)
Detroit Rock City
Beth (Eric Singer lead vocal)
(Donation check presentation for supporting our troops followed by the Pledge of Allegiance)
Lick It Up
Shout It Out Loud
I Was Made For Loving You (with Paul flying stunt)
God Gave Rock 'N Roll To You II
Rock And Roll All Nite
The show at Mohegan was the exact same show as the one in Mansfield and primarily the same show they are doing across North America. There were a couple of things of note: Paul Stanley's voice was a little raspier compared to the Mansfield show and I thought the solo section by Eric & Tommy was a little less exciting than at Mansfield. I've noticed that the rest of the band have handled most, if not all, the backing vocals at the last couple of concerts I've seen, maybe that's a way to conserve some of Paul's voice? I think Paul is trying too hard with some of the higher shrieks he attempts during his between song raps with the crowd and that could be doing more damage than good. The again, Paul is getting closer to 60 yrs old! Also, I always like an arena show better than an amphitheater show but the crowd at Mohegan Sun wasn't as loud or wild compared to the outdoor crowd at the Comcast Center. There was also another check presentation on stage to the Wounded Warriors Foundation showing the updated total of $184,743 donated. Outside of those few differences, the show was exactly the same. It was another good performance by the band, and even though I'm in favor of the original four members, I think this lineup with Eric Singer & Tommy Thayer is a solid performing band. Both guys did a great job playing and their vocals were really good for 'Shock Me', 'Black Diamond' and 'Beth'. The band performed 'Beth' again acoustically with Eric on vocals and I was really impressed again. Gene Simmons also really put on a solid performance, I thought his vocals were really great and he had a ton of energy. With Paul's voice faltering a bit, it's good to hear Gene sound so good…..back in 2003 and 2004 it was Paul who was stronger and gene who was weaker.
Like I said before, the concert was great, I don't ever get sick of seeing KISS perform! I thought the three songs from SONIC BOOM came off well live again and hearing 'Crazy Crazy Nights' a second time this tour was awesome. I'm a KISS diehard so the entire setlist was great but there were some KISS klassics that were highlights again: 'Lick It Up', 'Shout It Out Loud', 'Detroit Rock City', 'Black Diamond', 'Cold Gin, 'Firehouse' and 'Rock And Roll All Nite'. It was nice to see another solid performance from the band because this is was the last New England area show on this tour and it could be another couple of years before they come around again, maybe with a new record?

This October, Dr. Eugenie Scott, head of the National Center for Science Education, will speak at the much-anticipated CSICon 2012 in Nashville, Tennessee. She'll be focusing on the anti-science initiatives now rampaging their way into Tennessee schools, and I wanted to get some perspective from her about where all this troubling activity is leading, and what's behind it all. She was kind enough to take the time to have the following exchange with me.
If you want to see Dr. Scott's presentation, make sure you register now for CSICon 2012!
PF: I know that I'm kind of delighted that we're having this conference full of skeptics in Tennessee, where there's an alarming amount of anti-science legislation and posturing happening in the political realm in regards to education. As you know, the latest trouble came in the form of a bill that encourages public school teachers to lay out so-called "strengths and weaknesses" in widely-accepted scientific topics such as evolution and climate change, which are of course a wink and a nudge to allow the teaching of creationism, intelligent design, climate denialism, and other such things.
But it almost feels like we've done all this already. I know I naively allowed myself to think that this kind of battle was essentially old news after the famous case in Dover, PA — that the intelligent design folks and creationists were, in a sense, laughed off the scene. But here we are again, but in Tennessee. How is it for you, as an activist fighting for real standards in science education, to find us still dealing with this kind of situation?
ES: Well, if I didn't have a overdeveloped sense of optimism, I could never have worked at this job as long as I have. So maybe it's my own personal character flaw in this regard, but I'm not disheartened. Also given my experience, I am not surprised we're still dealing with attacks on evolution: It is a topic that generates a great deal of emotion, and that can prevent people from listening to the scientific evidence.
Actually, this is not your grandfather's creationism. We have been tracking these "Academic Freedom Act" types of bills since about 2004, and they do provide a somewhat different approach than what was going on in Dover, Pennsylvania.
The Tennessee bill is worrisome because it so carefully avoids religion; it never mentions creationism or intelligent design. The approach is to treat evolution (and global warming and the other laundry list of subjects) as "controversial subjects" that need to be singled out for special treatment in the curriculum. Teachers are directed to teach the "strengths and weaknesses" of the subjects, as if they were topics that were of questionable validity in science. They may be controversial to the general public, but they certainly are not controversial among scientists.
The careful avoidance of any reference to religion makes these bills more difficult to challenge on constitutional grounds. They also are difficult to challenge because they invoke cultural values like fairness and freedom of speech and academic freedom. Opposing these bills is often framed as opposing these important cultural values. So these bills are quite worrisome and more difficult to deal with than bills or policies that can be tied to creationism, which was the case with Dover.
PF: I see Dover as a kind of archetype for this kind of controversy; the battle between the teaching of biological evolution and some version of creationism. But in Tennessee, as well as other states, the backlash is also against sciences that, at least at first glance, seem less related to theology, or at least less threatening to a religious worldview, like global warming. What do you think that might say about what's happening? That it's perhaps not really about religion, but something else entirely? Why are these topics getting lumped together?
ES: I think these topics are being lumped together because all of them (evolution, origin of life, global warming, stem cells, human cloning) are topics of concern to the religious right. What began as anti-evolution bills has now morphed to include these other hot button topics as well as evolution.
We suspect one reason for these topics being bundled together is because, as I mentioned, the religious right doesn't like any of them, but also because there are legal constraints against singling out evolution for special treatment in the curriculum. According to Epperson v. Arkansas, singling out evolution is ipso facto evidence for promoting religious views. So if evolution is bundled with these other hot button subjects, it's a twofer: more topics come under scrutiny, and evolution is buffered from one type of constitutional challenge.
PF: Global warming remains a sticking point in my own thinking — it stands out to me as an issue that has less to do with religion than it does with interests that might merely be a product of cynical astroturfing by, say, oil interests. Otherwise, I don't see why the creationists would be so fixated on global warming, beyond very vague notions of Earth being "made for us" and therefore ours to do with as we please.
ES: First, remember that there are religious conservatives, and there are political conservatives. The overlap is the religious right, but it's not a complete overlap, since not all religious conservatives are political conservatives and vice versa. (Some religious conservatives practice social gospel, for example, and some political conservatives are enthusiastic about evolution).
So with evolution, the opposition comes from religious conservatives, and the religious right are included here because of their religious views.
With global warming/climate change, the opposition stems less from religion than from political and economic ideologies. In fact, Green Christians are big supporters of the environment, and take global warming seriously. The religious right is reliably in denial of global warming, but not because of their religious views but because of their conservative political views.
When it comes to evolution and climate change, there are different motivations, though the fact that the religious right opposes both confuses things. But remember, the religious right wears two hats, so to speak: conservative religion and conservative politics. Different motivations come into play for the two different controversies.
PF: So the religious right has gained expertise in what looks like stealth, and mastering the nuance of the language to get their way. Let's say that they're successful in all or most of their attempts in this current environment. Is there a snowball effect? Can it get worse from here?
ES: Hard to predict. The religious right joins the political conservatives to support the laundry list of things political conservatives care about, and joins religious conservatives to support the religious conservative laundry list. So you can look at the concerns of both or each of these categories and make predictions. Issues that have to do with social conservatism are a good bet, but they're already going great guns there: gay rights, marriage equality, etc. I can't see they would get into the anti-vax movement, as it doesn't play to either religious or political conservatism, and if anything, verges into the New Age-y kind of thinking, which is anathema to them.
PF: How do you feel about the state of the zeitgeist on these issues? Are these recent anti-science moves an example of a dying movement in its last, desperate throes? Or is there a scary resurgence? Who has the momentum, if any, and who is the most confident?
ES: I can't really say. But remember that polls show that science is well-respected (and scientists are well-respected) in the US, and even creationists and global warming deniers support science. They have a somewhat off-kilter understanding of science, but still…. I can't see that going away too quickly. I don't have my finger on the pulse of society — it's too vast. I probably should watch TV more!
PF: One more thing: Is there anything in particular you're looking forward to doing or seeing in Nashville other than the conference itself?
ES: Bluegrass! 'nuf said!

The sounds of a blues player fill the early evening air, mingling with the scents of restaurants catering to an eclectic parade of patrons, young and old. Here in a district known for its turn-of-the-century architecture, you can see, hear, and smell how some enterprising merchants have taken our heritage and given it new life. Once the site of Kalamazoo's first hotel and hay auction, it now boasts some of the many of Central City's most popular restaurant and nightlife establishment locations.
Mornings here in Haymarket are busy with the bustle of business people moving from appointment to appointment. Delivery trucks come and go. The ritual of washing down the sidewalks outside one of Kalamazoo's oldest buildings is repeated on a daily basis. Any hour of the day, you'll find routine reminders that this is still, in many ways, the city's center of commerce. The rest of the time it does what it has always done so well. Adapt to the times without losing its charm.
