Darie Lab Autism Research

GraceAnne's aunt Lisa, my sister, is a brain scientist (neurobiologist). She and her husband are currently working on finding bio-markers to detect autism. This study has the potential to lead to a test that would find autism very early on in a child's life. This 

is important because studies have shown that the earliest possible interventions in autistic children lead to better outcomes and better quality of life. The earlier it's detected the earlier you can intervene.

If you want to be a part of helping autistic kids and their families, participating in the crowd funding of this project is a very good way to do it. ALL the money donated goes directly to supporting the research, in this instance the purchase of software vital to the study. 

 At least check out the video and website and see what you think.

 It would be pretty cool to look back in a few years at early detection leading to better outcomes for kids and be able to say "Hey! I was a part of that!". Please like Darie Lab on FB and please share this status to spread the word.

 Oh! And, varsity tryouts are this afternoon so hopefully Grace brings it and makes the team!

Defensive rotation is critical as it is in all zone defenses. This can be a fun defense to play that confuses offenses and leads to steals and breaks. It does put pressure on your post players and can expose the corners. Basic Rotations and Positions of the 3-2 (1-2-2) zone Starting Positions    Ball on wing: Defender 3 comes out to guard the ball. Defender 1 drops down to the high post area.    Ball in corner: Defender 5 goes out to guard the ball. Defender 4 slides over to defend the low post. Defender 2 drops down to either defend the opposite low block or the wing if a skip pass is thrown. Defender 1 defends the high post area. Defender 3 can either sink in to stop penetration or apply pressure b...
