So close no matter how far
By Khairy Alonto
Michael Jordan. Hakeem Olajuwon. David Robinson. Isaiah Thomas. These gladiators were among the best of what I feel is the golden age of the NBA: the 1990’s.
Their path was paved by their character, athleticism, dedication, & sportsmanship; by the leadership of their coaches and management; by the love of their friends and family; and by the adoration of their fans. They have that unquenchable thirst for greatness that legends are known for. They share that same thirst with those they battled against. I write this blog to give honor to a few notable thirsty warriors from that era.
Tumblr media
Patrick Ewing was a highly-touted college talent from Georgetown and being the first lottery pick of the NBA. He was doing what was expected of him: averaging 20/10, playing defense at the post, and being the emotional leader in New York. After a decade of duking it out in the east with great teams such as the Bulls, Celtics, & Pistons, he finally lead my beloved Knicks to the finals during MJ’s hiatus in 1994 but only to match up against Hakeem and the Rockets. That was a bittersweet finals matchup for me as I admired both players. As a Muslim, I know the challenges of Ramadan. Yet Hakeem played through the fasting observed during the Holy Month and won accolades in the process. Hakeem deservingly won his first ring in a 7-game duel, but I always thought my Knicks would return to the Finals in the near future... which they did in the lockout-shortened season of 1999 but lost again to David Robinson & their rookie of the year, Tim Duncan. It’s tough to be a Knicks fan, but that frustration is for another blog on another day.
Tumblr media
Karl Malone is one of the most durable players ever and is second on the scoring record list next to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He wouldn’t be on this shortlist as well without his partner in crime: John Stockton.
Tumblr media
“Stockton-to-Malone” should be another name for the word “assist”. These guys racked up the stats for sure - the Mailman delivered points and rebounds and his buddy Stockton is the all-time leader in steals and assists (and I doubt anyone will replace him from that). Stockton also played 16 full seasons (I did the math and that is 1,312 games!) a feat that is probably very strange in today’s era where players rest when they feel like it.
These two brought the likes of Greg Ostertag and Byron Russell with them to the NBA finals twice, but twice they went against Michael Jordan. Karl Malone did earn MVP (twice), but their Utah Jazz were unfortunately challenged by arguably the greatest team ever formed.
Tumblr media
Shawn Kemp’s career should be remembered for his time in Seattle, and not when it started spiralling downward. The Stockton to his Malone, Gary Payton, eventually won a ring later on with the Heat but their tandem back in the day was a joy to watch. These two could claim that they invented the alley-oop dunk if not reinvented it by adding insult and swag against the dunked-on combatant. Like the Jazz, their Sonics unfortunately met the goat and the Bulls in the finals.
Tumblr media
Charles Barkley is probably more well known now for his antics on the Emmy-winning basketball commentary show, Inside the NBA. But he was an MVP. And he did his best to challenge the Pistons, Knicks, Bulls, Celtics in the East before being traded to the West and bring the Pheonix Suns to the Finals. And like the three before him on this blog, he met Michael Jordan in the finals. The power forward was listed as a 6’6” (same height as Jordan), but in reality he was barely 6’4”! At his height, the “round mound of rebound” lead the league in rebounds back in ‘86 against towering centers such as Ewing & Olajuwon using his special technique. He was entertaining on and off the court. And when you talk about the nineties, the Suns-Bulls series was iconic (& definitely deserves its own blog later on).
On #Thirstday, the guys at Basketball & Kicks Pare care to reminisce about teams and players with a “thirst” for greatness.

Arguments for Homeschooling
"Education is suffering from narration sickness” (Freire 243).
A term Paulo Freire coined the “banking” concept describes a system in which students are looked upon as “receptacles” to be “filled” by a teacher; the more completely the receptacles are filled, the better the teacher (Freire 244). The students of this garbage disposal system are forever taught to receive, memorize, and repeat rather than question, process, and discuss. It was Freire who pointed out that “liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information” (249), and that the “banking” system of education promotes a lack of creativity, transformation, and knowledge (244).
The fact is that our current public education system's curriculum lies in the hands of oppressors’ interests. It relies in “changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them” (Freire 245).
Three time winner of New York City's Teacher of the Year Award John Taylor Gatto believes that the United States' youth are subjected to an educational system which is "deliberately designed to produce mediocre intellects, to hamstring the inner life, to deny students appreciable leadership skills, and to ensure docile and incomplete citizens– all in order to render the populace “manageable” is what we are up against” (Gatto 5).
“It is in the interest of complex management (economic or political) to dumb people down, to demoralize them, to divide them from one another, and to discard them if they don’t conform” (Gatto 6).
Memorization has replaced learning, and conformity has done the same to independence. Until we abolish the system which has already been put into place we will never be able to encourage students to become more than just a dumpster for memorized facts and statistics, and they will remain unable to solve problems independent of their peers.
The above quotations and observations are just a peek into the problems that traditional schooling (especially public schooling) has led to. The current approach favored by these institutions and the indifference the leaders of said institutions have towards the livelihood of the children in their care has led to the three main reasons parents decide to pull their children out of public schools in favor of homeschooling:
1. Concern about the school environment
2. To provide religious or moral instruction
3. Dissatisfaction with the academic instruction available at other schools
Parents are increasingly becoming aware of the detriment the traditional school have become to their child's education, and are pulling them out in droves. There were more than 2.0 million students being homeschooled in the U.S. during the spring of 2008.
In fact, USA Today says that "the number of home-schooled kids hit 1.5 million in 2007, up 74% from when the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics started keeping track in 1999, and up 36% since 2003. The percentage of the school-age population that was home-schooled increased from 2.2% in 2003 to 2.9% in 2007" (Lloyd).
There are a lot of reasons for this. Some are discussed above, but the data available on homeschooling shows that academic results are higher for children who are homeschooled as well:
"Achievement test scores for homeschooled students are exceptionally high. Kids taught at home score across the board between the 75th-80th percentile. Public school children tested on the same material consistently produce scores at the 50th percentile" (Hebert).
“Schools across the country are lowering standards – actually dumbing down lesson plans – to avoid sanctions under the No Child Left Behind Act” (Kaye).
“First, about half of college freshmen don’t graduate, even after six years. Second, those who do graduate enter a job market in which only 20% of graduates can find a non-minimum wage job” (North).
“A new federal study shows that nearly a third of the states lowered academic standards in recent years. Fifteen states in all lowered proficiency standards in fourth and eighth-grade reading or math from 2005 to 2007. Three states – Maine, Oklahoma, and Wyoming – lowered standards in both subjects at both grade levels” (Kaye).
“Education Secretary Arne Duncan puts it this way: ‘We’re lying to our children when we tell them they’re proficient, but they’re not achieving at a level that will prepare them for success once they graduate’” (Kaye).
We can easily see that our school systems are doing nothing but warehousing children for 12 years and suppressing any creative or independent urges they may have. As we can see below, the reasons to home school your child are many and varied. From http://www.homeschool-living.com/homeschooling-statistics.html (All indented bullet points are my own comments):
Average income of the homeschooling family is $52,000. (HSLDA)
-This is slightly higher than the national average, but not significantly so. It does show that homeschooling is not simply for the elite or ultra-rich though.
Cost to homeschool varies. In 1996, a national survey found one could homeschool for $546. Michal Farris, chairman and general counsel of HSLDA, states that his family home educates for approximately $200 per year for curriculum materials. (HSLDA)
-Compared to the multiple thousands (in some cases $12,000 or more) of dollars that are spent each year on each child within the public school system, it is astonishing that parents are able to achieve statistically significant results that are much higher than students in a traditional school setting.
"No meaningful difference was found among home school students when classified by gender. Significantly, there was also no difference found according to whether or not a parent was certified to teach." (SADC)
-Homeschooling successfully does not require you to spend years in school. There is nothing special about a teaching degree that makes you better able to communicate and share wisdom with students. In many cases, it is simply another licensing requirement that lowers competition and lets members take advantage of guild economics.
Children who are homeschooled "... may be more socially mature and have better leadership skills than other children ..." - Richard G. Medlin, Ph.D. (NHERI)
-Studies are showing that far be it from homeschooling to produce socially maladapted children, homeschooling often produces children who are better adapted than those in the public school. This is probably one of the main reasons parents would be adverse to homeschooling their children (apart from laziness or inability), and is based upon nothing substantial.
ACT: (2002 and 2003) homeschool average was 22.5, national average was 20.8.
SAT: (2002) homeschool average was 1092, national average, 1020. (HSLDA)
-These are not that much larger, but two points can often mean the difference in thousands of dollars of scholarship money when applying to colleges.
On average, homeschool students, grades 1–4, perform one grade level above their public and private school counterparts. The achievement gap grows in grade 5; by 8th grade the average home school student performs four grades higher than the national average. (SADC)
-This is where the numbers become astonishing. In eight years of schooling, home schooled children perform four grades higher than their public school counterparts. That means they are learning twice as fast. Anyone who doesn't want that for their own child must be mad.
Students who have been home schooled their entire academic lives have the highest scholastic achievement. The difference is more pronounced during the higher grades; students who home school throughout high school continue to flourish while in that environment. (SADC)
-See the point before. These are the statistics and facts advocates of homeschooling should be using to educate the public.
Kate Grossman, Chicago Sun-Times reported noted, "The number of homeschoolers receiving National Merit Scholarships has increased more than 500 percent: from 21 in 1995 to 129 in 2003." (HSLDA)
-This award is highly coveted and is invaluable to those pursuing college scholarships. If homeschooling your child pushes him over the edge to earn one of these awards, any amount of money you would have spent homeschooling would be repaid many times over just from the scholarships awarded alone.
Dr. Michael Donahue, Director of Admissions for Indiana University - Purdue University, has spent the last several years researching home-schooled students.
"The home school group has about a 3.0 GPA their freshman year," Donahue said. "In the entire freshman class, the GPA is between a 2.3 and a 2.4. They are well prepared. They're self starters. Faculty, in general, enjoy having them in class because they know how to do things independently." (Answers)
-In accordance with the facts above, this is why those who are home schooled will have an advantage their entire lives.
More than 74% of home schooled adults 18-24 years-old have taken college classes as opposed to 46% of the general population. (HSLDA)
Dr. Gary Knowles, the University of Michigan, studied home educated adults.
"None were unemployed and none were on welfare, 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons, 79% said it helped them interact with individuals from different levels of society, and they strongly supported the home education method." (NHERI)
Homeschooling statistics show 71% of home taught adults participate in at least one ongoing community service/37% of similar general population. (HSLDA)
95% said they were glad they were home educated. 82% planned to homeschool their children. (HSLDA)
As you can see, taking your child's education into your own hands can drastically improve their lives in a variety of ways, even long after they have started their own lives and entered the workforce. Our public school system is broken, and those in charge always cry they haven't been given enough money and more money will always solve the problems. However, they have always gotten their wish, and they have always thumbed their noses at us, raised their salaries, and provided ever declining education to our children. Socialism loves Robin Hood. Steal from the rich, give to the poor, yadda, yadda, yadda. Our current education system is failing children at an alarming rate and we have nothing but broken dreams and a undereducated populace to show for it. Government spending is rife with malinvestment and perverse incentives. Within our own education system, we suffer from many of the same comparative disadvantages. Money given to the public school system seldom goes to anything which provides actual academic benefit. How can you justify the eight million dollars that was spent on putting in a swimming pool? I know I wouldn’t pay for that if given the option. Fortunately, we still have the option of choosing to pay or not pay for an alternate education which better suits our desires and needs; however, only time can tell if this will last.
It is up to us whether or not people see the issues, the future lies in our hands. Legitimate authority rests in the consent of the governed. It really is up to our generation to decide the correct course of action. Pick your battles wisely, be informed, and make conscious and rational decisions; above all, take action. Whether it is homeschooling your child or marching in Washington, make sure your voice is heard. Don’t take no for an answer.
No matter how much our independence, rights, or voices are abrogated we must find a way to transcend the limitations imposed upon us.
If this isn't enough to convince yourself to at least consider homeschooling your own child, please let me know what would be.

Interstellar
Cast: Matthew McConaughey Anne Hathaway Jessica Chastain Bill Irwin Ellen Burstyn Michael Caine
Sound: Gregg Landaker and Gary Rizzo were the film’s audio engineers tasked with audio mixing, while sound editor Richard King supervised the process. Christopher Nolan paid close attention to designing the sound mix, like focusing on the sound of buttons being pressed with astronaut suit gloves. The studio’s website stated that the film was “mixed to maximize the power of the low-end frequencies in the main channels, as well as in the subwoofer channel. Nolan deliberately intended some dialogue to seem drowned out by ambient noise or music, causing some theaters to post notices emphasizing that this effect was intentional and not a fault in their equipment.
Visual Effects: or Interstellar they created the effects first, allowing digital projectors to display them behind the actors, rather than having the actors perform in front of green screens. Ultimately the film contained 850 visual effect shots at a resolution of 5600 × 4000 lines: 150 shots that were created in-camera using digital projectors, and another 700 were created in post-production. Of those, 620 were presented in IMAX, while the rest were anamorphic.
Production: The premise for Interstellar was conceived by producer Lynda Obst and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne. The two conceived of a scenario, based on Thorne’s work, about "the most exotic events in the universe suddenly becoming accessible to humans,” and attracted filmmaker Steven Spielberg’s interest in directing. The film began development in June 2006, when Spielberg and Paramount Pictures announced plans for a science fiction film based on an eight-page treatment written by Obst and Thorne. Obst was attached to produce. By March 2007, Jonathan Nolan was hired to write a screenplay.
After Spielberg moved his production studio DreamWorks from Paramount to Walt Disney Studios in 2009, Paramount needed a new director for Interstellar. Jonathan Nolan recommended his brother Christopher, who joined the project in 2012. Christopher Nolan met with Thorne, then attached as executive producer, to discuss the use of spacetime in the story. In January 2013, Paramount and Warner Bros. announced that Christopher Nolan was in negotiations to direct Interstellar. By the following March, Nolan was confirmed to direct Interstellar, which would be produced under his label Syncopy and Lynda Obst Productions.To research for the film, Nolan visited NASA and the private space program at SpaceX.
Screenwriter Jonathan Nolan worked on the script for four years. To learn the scientific aspects, he studied relativity at the California Institute of Technology. His brother Christopher had worked on other science fiction scripts, but decided to take the Interstellar script and choose among the vast array of ideas presented by Jonathan and Thorne, picking what he felt, as director, he could get “across to the audience and hopefully not lose them,” before he merged it with a script he had worked on for years on his own. Christopher kept in place Jonathan’s conception of the first hour, which is set on a resource-depleted Earth in the near future. The setting was inspired by the Dust Bowl that took place in the United States during the Great Depression in the 1930s. He revised the rest of the script, where a team travels into space, instead. After watching the 2012 documentary The Dust Bowl for inspiration, Christopher contacted director Ken Burns and producer Dayton Duncan, requesting permission to use some of their featured interviews in Interstellar, which was granted.

Marketing
The teaser trailer for Interstellar debuted December 13, 2013, and featured clips related to space exploration, accompanied by a voiceover by Matthew McConaughey's. The theatrical trailer debuted May 5, 2014, at the Lockheed Martin IMAX Theater in Washington, D.C. and was made available online later that month. For the week ending May 19, it was the most-viewed film trailer, with over 19.5 million views on YouTube.
Christopher Nolan and McConaughey made their first appearances at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2014 to promote Interstellar. That same month, Paramount Pictures launched an interactive website, on which users uncovered a star chart related to the Apollo 11 moon landing.
In October 2014, Paramount partnered with Google to promote Interstellar across multiple platforms. The film's website was relaunched as a digital hub hosted on a Google domain, which collected feedback from film audiences and linked to a mobile app. The Paramount-Google partnership also included a virtual time capsule compiled with user-generated content, made available in 2015. The initiative Google for Education used the film as a basis for promoting math and science lesson plans in schools
Paramount provided a virtual reality walk-through of the Endurance spacecraft using Oculus Rift technology. It hosted the walkthrough sequentially in New York City, Houston, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., from October 6 through November 19, 2014.  The publisher Running Press released Interstellar: Beyond Time and Space, a book by Mark Cotta Vaz about the making of the film, on November 11. W. W. Norton & Company released The Science of Interstellar, a book by Thorne; Titan Books released the official novelization, written by Greg Keyes;  and Wired magazine released a tie-in online comic, Absolute Zero, written by Christopher Nolan and drawn by Sean Gordon Murphy. The comic is a prequel to the film, with Mann as the protagonist.
