"28 Year Old, 1 Kid and Ready to Get..."
Hello. I'm 28 years old and ever since I was 13 I've wanted nice breasts. Throughout my teen years all my friends got them and I never did. I have been a member of the itty bitty titty committee ever since until a couple years ago when I got pregnant with my first child. I had always been 5'8" 145/150 lbs and athletic. When I found out I was pregnant I stopped working out and enjoyed... more
"In love with my 330cc high profile..."
Today was my 1st consultation with Dr.Lynam from Richmond, VA. The RSA Richmond Surgical Arts facility was very nice and clean. The medical office is right upstairs. I filled out several forms and after a 5 minute wait was putting on a gown over my upper body. I was given photos to review of previous surgeries. Dr.Lynam came in talked to me took some measurements. Then I got to try on several... more
"Loving my 350 HP Silicone Enhanced..."
After breast feeding 2 little ones I was def deflated and in need of a pick me up! I started out as a 32A and decided I wanted to be a full C/ D. I was going back and forth between 325 and 350 and finally on surgery day my Dr advised to go with the 350 and I'm soo glad I did! I am only 5 days post op but am loving my new look! I am 5'5, 105 pounds. more
"37 Years Old, 2 Active Little Boys,..."
After nursing my youngest son for 13 months, I was left with deflated tatas! I always joked about getting them redone after kids, but I didn't realize how much I would want it after seeing the actual results of nursing two boys. I was able to work out hard in the gym to get the rest of my body back in shape, but nothing could really help my chest. Not to mention, when I was with my husband,... more
"Mentor Smooth Round Cohesive..."
I am 30yo 5'4" 130lbs 34A/32B my measurement are 33"-27"-38" I am pretty muscular with broad shoulders, big round bubble bottoms and I have no problem building muscles the only thing that I don't have are my breasts that proportionate with my body and curves. I always wanted the large boobs since I started to have them when I was 12 and soon after that they just stopped growing at an A cup... more
"A Long Awaited Breast Augmentation!..."
I have not have my surgery yet, but i am anxiously waiting and preparing. I have wanted this for longer than i can remember. My whole teenage years i was always subconscious of my breast because i had none, and i felt like boys looked at me differently. However once i graduated high school and got into my early twenties, i really began to feel less of a woman, and more of a girl because of my... more
"25 YO, Ready for my Upper 1/2 to..."
Hi Everyone! I've been reading Real Self reviews for about 7 months now. I decided to get my BA done on February 19th. I am so nervous! Just a few facts about me...I am 25 years old, 5'5, and 125 pounds. I have decided on 300ccs. I am usually in pretty good shape, but after the holidays I have been so lazy. After my BA, I definitely want to get in the best shape I've ever been in....I will... more
"About time!!!!!! 3 consults and 25..."
I have a consult with Dr Deconti scheduled on Feb 13th. Barring anything crazy he will be my PS as I have a close friend who highly recommended him. I got my money inline today and I'm beyond thrilled! Now it's a matter of choosing saline or silicone. My PS is going to be my deciding factor as far as that is concerned. I'm thrilled and nervous a all at the same time! My boss wanted me to... more
"Deflated in Chest Size, but Not in..."
As the story goes, two breast-fed children later my once awesome boobs are awesome no more, just deflated reminders of my youthful breasts. I never thought I could actually go through with plastic surgery because of the anesthesia. It might sound crazy, but I have never been under for anything. I used to joke with my husband that if I was rushed into surgery for something, to tell them to... more
"Breast Augmentation and Arm Lift..."
I was very unhappy with my body after losing weight. I went to Dr. Lynam for a consult and knew right then he would be the PS doing my surgeries. I am very very pleased with the results of both surgeries and plan to have Dr. Lynam perform other surgeries in the near future. I love what I see when I look in the mirror. Wow I can't believe it has been since October 2013 that I wrote about... more
"New Boobs! 400-425cc Mentor..."
I will try and get to the point and make my first post short and sweet. I feel like being on here I don't have to explain why I decided to get implants because everyone reading this wont be quick to judge because they probably want a BA or already have one! I loved reading about girls experiences and seeing their progress in pictures. It has really helped me out a ton on deciding what exactly... more
"Back to Normal After Having Babies...."
I am 23 years old and a mother of two amazing kids, ages 2 and 10 months. Having them so close together really took a toll on my breasts, what were once perky 34Bs are now nothing. Its been very hard to make this choice, mainly because of the money I don't like buy myself anything so to drop 5 grand was hard pill to swallow. But now that I've had my consultation and have a surgery scheduled I... more
"After having three children and..."
Well after having three children and breastfeeding two of them for over a year I feel like its time! I have wanted to do this for years I wanted to wait until after having my babies. My breasts have changed. They actually feel smaller now then before having kids. I went for my consult back in October. I was scheduled for sugery Jan 28 but I had to postpone due to the fact I had just stopped... more
Love that i found this site last night and will spend more time reading this afternoon. has already made me feel better about my decision. just going through the process of healing right now and feel kind of rushed by my PS when i ask questions. i only told my husband and one friend so pretty much driving him crazy! haha! my first Post Op was yesterday (surgery was friday) and was told i can... more

Other X.Org Discussions At The Ubuntu 11.04 Summit
Published on 28 October 2010 08:30 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
14 Comments
Two days ago we reported on
what the graphics stack should look like for Ubuntu 11.04
in terms of its X.Org Server, Mesa / Gallium3D, and the open-source graphics driver versions to be deployed in this next Linux operating system release codenamed the
Natty Narwhal
. This though wasn't the only X-related discussion to take place at the
Ubuntu 11.04 developer summit
in Orlando this week, but there were other related topics discussed such as KMS configuration / quirk handling, the multi-monitor experience on the Ubuntu desktop, and multi-touch support. There were also talks aimed at
/ embedded Ubuntu on ARM platforms with regards to embedded GPU drivers and OpenGL ES support.
While the quality of the notes vary from session to session, information from these talks at the UDS Orlando event can be found by connecting to
from a Gobby 0.5 client for collaborative document editing / sharing.
In regards to X.Org configurations, Ubuntu developers are deciding how to handle the small percentage of desktop users where the out-of-the-box monitor experience is ideal with either the monitor(s) being set to the wrong resolution, no display at all, or similar problems. These problems are mostly attributed to monitor vendors that have models where the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is incorrect or even not supplied at all. Back when the open-source drivers relied on user-space mode-setting, affected users could use a variety of options within the
to override values and handle quirks within the server. However, with kernel mode-setting that support is out the window.
To address these issues, Ubuntu developers will be investigating ways to make user-supplied EDID being writable at the kernel level, moving Intel driver power configurations and such to a sysfs interface, extending the GNOME Monitor Applet to support extra RandR modes, summarizing available quirks, and a proposal for a device tree node specifying the graphics quirk.
In terms of the Ubuntu multi-monitor experience, Ubuntu developers are trying to decide how to handle different use-cases. For instance, if a projector is connected to a laptop, should the output be automatically be enabled and set to clone mode for a presentation? What happens if no monitors are connected? What was suggested during the session was to default to clone mode when connecting a second monitor that defaults to the smaller head's resolution (though this is a limitation anyways for many X.Org drivers), allowing the user to specify monitor preferences, and a configurable hot-key for launching the display chooser.
There are also multi-monitor problems to be explored upon monitor disconnection, dialogs being displayed on secondary displays,
Ubuntu's Unity
defaulting to the left-most monitor to be primary, and no display heads being connected to the GPU will cause the xorg-server initialization to fail.
For those connecting to the Ubuntu Gobby server to read all of the notes in full on these discussions, some of the documents worth checking out include: multimedia-desktop-n-xorg-multi-monitor-experience (the multi-monitor support), multimedia-dx-n-xorg-and-mt (state of X and Multi-Touch with X Input 2.1, UTouch, etc), multimedia-arm-n-gles-in-ubuntu (OpenGL ES for Ubuntu on ARM), and multimedia-desktop-n-xorg-general-planning (the general X.Org talk we commented on two days ago).

Attention for ADHD: 9 Key Facts
We still don't know the exact causes of ADHD.
Brian Maranan Pineda
Studies consistently suggest that ADHD is inherited. But in the last few years, research has also linked ADHD to prenatal exposure to environmental toxins such as bisphenol A and phthalates (key ingredients in a wide range of products from cosmetics to plastic shower curtains), as well as lead (found in old paint) and pesticides (used in homes and schools and on farms). "The science is still very new and the studies, though strong, must be repeated by other researchers," says pediatrician and epidemiologist Philip Landrigan, M.D., director of the Children's Environmental Health Center, in New York City, and a member of the Parents Board of Advisors. "But children are especially sensitive to environmental toxins and we need to pay much more attention to how and when they are exposed."
A theory has persisted that food dyes contribute to ADHD, and some parents insist that once their kids are on a diet that eliminates dyes and preservatives, their ADHD symptoms improve dramatically. But the mainstream medical community is unconvinced. In 2011, after reviewing 50-plus studies linking food additives and ADHD, the FDA's Food Advisory Committee concluded there is not enough solid data to definitively say that artificial food dyes can trigger hyperactivity in kids. Adds Dr. Kurtz, "At this time, we have no reliable evidence showing that avoiding products with sugars, dyes, or additives will lessen problematic symptoms."

/regionalnews/big_apple_coming_to_its_census

Then there is this link that shows how NYC challenges the census figures because a higher population means more federal and state money.

http://nyc.metblogs.com/2007/03/22/nyc-population-growth-stagnant/

Of course, illegals and the transient section of the population make it hard to get a real number. So what does the city use to argue it's case for higher population growth?

Data on residential construction.

Great job. Parts with no HDR I liked most.
*Holds gun to head*
I demand you tell me:
*Where I can learn to do the 3D effect.
*What you edited inFCP7
*What you used to capture your screen
*Name of the song
*What transition effects you used
What exactly did you do in AE, that you then edited in FCP7? For example, the shot of the individual looking up at the building, I take it that whole sequence was actually done in AE? What settings did you use to export from AE for use in FCP?
Also, fantastic work!
Nice video, haven't heard or seen anything of this technique yet. Interesting effects possible... So thanks for introducing.
Off topic (off photography): Thanks very much as well for sharing a song of Awolnation. Also never heard of them!

Bayesian implementation in exchange economies with state dependent feasible sets and private information
AbstractThis paper considers the problem of implementation for exchange economies with state dependent feasible sets. Agents are assumed to have private information about their endowments. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for social choice rules that are Bayesian implementable by feasible mechanisms for such an environment. We compare our main result to the Nash implementation result derived in an environment of complete information.

Khakis? Please. I only wear chinos.
Say it with love??!! BAH!! Say it with .308.
Hey Serg, I wanna shop where you shop...deserted mall parking lots after hours. "You live around here homes?"
+ '01 Custom 24 + '11 DGT Standard (Mr. Clean) + '09 SE One + Super Dallas + Stealth 2x12+
Never Walmart. My pants come from the local fishing store.
I think you should do another themed guitar, Sergio.
Sergio can you say kahki covered SE?
Secretary of Crackwood Addiction
The "Tan Pants schtick , over on TGP has nothing to do with PRS. It's a long running "inside" joke about the old farts who tend to populate the place. (Or that's the knock against them…). Why that one guy added "He probably plays a PRS" dig, escapes me…
P.S. Shaw's pants are the "Official Pants of the Official PRS Forum…"
My Gear
My tan pants were made in Italy by Zanella, you bunch o' cheapskate pikers.
Serg, doctors and lawyers dont wear khaki - only NFL coaches and yacht captains do.
(DC22 / DC 245 Ted / DGT / 513 / Santana / McShootout / Cu22 Rosewood / 408 Rosewood / SAS / Cu22 Semi hollow / Sig LTD / Mira korina / HBII / SE Angelus Custom / SE Mushok) >> {Archon, C, H, Dallas, Original Sewell}
If it's cold out, I'm usually in jeans. If it's warm, usually cargo shorts (tan, olive or gray). When I do buy tan/khaki pants (some meetings require slacks), it's wherever the best price is and they are not made in China.
I'm mildly offended and/or offensive most every day but that's just me.
Last edited by Daniel; 01-17-2014 at 02:41 AM.
I buy all my tan pants online from Eddie Bauer. I have seven identical pair, one for each day of the week. I also drink red wine, and always have too many guitars.
We don`t have Walmart over here, so I have to play naked.
Love for all human beings is like listening to any kind of music. You just don't care.

Congressional Budget Office
According to the latest projections from the Congressional Budget Office released today, that is the likely year that the Social Security trust fund will run down to $0 — meaning that it will only be able to rely on payroll taxes to make promised payments to retirees.
There is some uncertainty to the statistics due to economic and demographic variables. 80 percent of the simulations fall inside the green band in the chart on the right.
To give you a sense of just how large this deficit might be — the CBO has provided this disturbing chart (below). The program would fall short over one percent of GDP, with the gap continuing to increase over time.
The program would still pay out benefits, but unchanged, it would only be able to fund a fraction of what it provides now.
You can read the CBO projections in their entirety here.

The Beginning
This morning we woke up later than we planned and finished up packing odds and ends. We said our farewells to Bella and seriously considered puppy-napping her and stealing her off to Canada. With heavy hearts we got into the car around 11 and started our journey up north with multiple considerations of turning around and getting her. The drive was uneventful, we drove through Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and ended in Ohio were we slept in out car. ...

Last weeks goals:
Nutritional - consume at LEAST 8 glasses of water per day - DONE ON 5/7 DAYS
Cardio - at LEAST 30 minutes on 5 out of 7 days - MISSED (4/7)
Strength - at LEAST two good strength training workouts this week - DONE (4)
Stretching - remember to stretch after EVERY workout - DONE
Blog at least twice - DONE
Overall, when you look at what I wanted to accomplish and what I actually did, it doesn't look like a bad week. However, since I was over on calories every single day, I didn't win this round. I've gained 2.5 pounds since last Monday... and I can only write so much off to PMS. I made the choices that I did and, ultimately, I am the one responsible. So today is a new Monday and a new week (#2) and I fully intend to make better decisions this week.
I start back at KF in a casual position today. Hopefully, I'll be able to juggle the two jobs with my running and workouts. Ah heck, it wouldn't be the first time that I've had to juggle :~)
I CAN DO THIS!! I packed *healthy* meals and snacks today and it looks like it's going to be a day "in range". I'm off to a good start.
Here are my 5% Challenge goals for THIS week:
Nutritional - include 5 servings of fruit and vegetables in your "diet" daily.
Cardio - at least 30 minutes on 5 days
Strength - 50 squats, 50 pushups, 50 crunches, 3 planks 3 days
Blog at least twice.
I'm still going to keep up my own "water" goal of 2L per day AND I'm going to add in "staying within calories". Hopefully, I'll hit it at least 5/7 days.
That's how many calories I've consumed since last Sunday. That's an average of 2008 per day which means, on average, I've gone OVER my calorie (1770) allowance by 238 per day. I'm NOT expecting any weightloss on Monday. There's no WAY I've burned enough calories to make a deficit. BLAH. I know better. Tomorrow starts a new Spark week so I'll have to really buckle down and do more to stay on track.
Today I rewarded myself with a new haircut. I'm liking it. It's a new length and, with the layers that Stephanie cut into it, it feels so light and soft. I keep swishing it... just for fun LOL.
OH! and she said she'd "love to have arms" like mine. "They're so defined". I gushed. :~) It was a good day.
Calories today: 1976+/1770
Fruit/Veggies: 8 - 5/3
Water: 2L
Cardio/Strength: none
Stretching: done
Seriously, I need someone to hang out with me 24/7 and tell me "don't eat that". Of course, I'd probably glare and them or tell them to go pound sand BUT I don't seem to have any will power of my own lately. Richard's no help. I told him tonight that I was going to go make myself fat with a banana split and he didn't even try to stop me. He just said "you'll never make yourself fat". By the way, the split was really good. And so were the cookies I ate, too.
Tomorrow, I will do BodyPump and Saturday I will do Awesome Abs. I have a 12 km run on Sunday and HOPEFULLY that'll make this weeks over-eating cancel out. Otherwise, I may be giving Shell a week one advantage and I just can't have that. :~)
I found this while surfing the net last night and wanted to share....
He's just so dreamy.
Alrighty, this is something I can live with. I adjusted my goal date to May 4th and Spark gave me 200ish calories more to eat. I can now have up to 1770 calories per day. I feel better already.
Calories today: 1888/1770
Fruit/Veggies: 3 - all fruit
Water: 500 mL
Cardio/Strength: both - as per tracker
Stretching: done
Oh boy did I ever drop the ball today! WTF?
I'm finding it REALLY difficult to not eat more than 1500 calories. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the fact that I've burned over 1000 calories since Sunday, I don't know but it's driving me crazy, I can tell you that.
Calories today: 1976/1550
Fruit/Veggies: 8 servings 2/6
Water: 10 (2.5L)
Cardio/Strength: 25 minute (3.8km) run
Stretching: done
I've got some competition now. Shell and I are trying to lose the same amount of weight in the same amount of time. I don't like to lose so I'm going to have to buckle down. If my weight doesn't go down this week, I'll re-evaluate my calories based on how many I burn this week. I'm hungry. There's got to be a good reason for it.
Tomorrow, I'm going to do another FitFix session (2 sets) and I have hill training with the run club in the evening. It should be a full day. HOPEFULLY, I can get the calories under control. I'm doing well on all the other challenges though. That's something to be proud of, right?

Broncos May Cut Ties With Trindon Holliday
March 7, 2014 3:47 AM
DENVER (CBS4) – The Broncos will look to cut ties with kick returner Trindon Holliday, according to NFL league sources.
Holliday is a restricted free agent, which means the Broncos own the right of first refusal.
The team plans to let him shop around, and if he doesn't get any offers they may consider re-signing him at a lower salary.
Regarding Holliday, once the Broncos release him, they will consider bringing him back at a lower number. They do plan to release him.—
Vic Lombardi (@VicLombardi) March 07, 2014
To be clear, Holliday becomes a free agent next week. According to league sources, Broncos would consider re-signing at a different number.—

Live Blog: Celtics take on Bucks in TD Garden home opener
|11.02.12 at 6:59 pm ET
Paul Pierce: 'Our goal is to keep our home court clean'
|11.02.12 at 11:29 am ET
WALTHAM — In the labor-shortened 2011-12 NBA season, the Celtics were 24-9 at home on the parquet. They were 8-2 at the Garden in the playoffs.
But the sour taste from the last game they played before the home crowd remains. With a chance to eliminate the Heat on their home court, they came up flat, losing, 98-79, to LeBron James and company.
Everyone in attendance remembers the fans at the end of the game chanting "Let's Go Celtics" and the players haven't forgotten either, as they take the same court for the first time in a meaningful game since then tonight when they host the Bucks in the home opener.
"We're excited," Paul Pierce said. "We're excited to be at home, especially after taking a loss in the first game so hopefully, we can come back home and establish ourselves. That's going to be the emphasis this year – establish ourselves at home. No team should be able to come in here and get any wins. Our goal is to keep our home court clean so it can be an intimidating factor when they come to the Garden."
"We had a tough year last year," Rajon Rondo said. "Other than that, I think years in the past the Garden has been a tough place to play in."
The team that will be trying to spoil the Celtics home opening party tonight is the Milwaukee Bucks, led by the dynamic duo backcourt of Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. The Bucks will be playing their regular season opener tonight.
"I know they've got two explosive guards in the backcourt and I think a lot of things start with them," Pierce said. "I'm very familiar with Ilyasova [Ersan Ilyasova] and that's pretty much that core. They have good role players in Dunleavy [Mike Dunleavy] and more than capable guys like Drew Gooden so they pose a threat for us. They gave us trouble last year from what I remember so they have a good, talented team. This is their first game so they'll be hungry to get out to a good start."
"They're a scrappy team," Rondo added. "They play with a lot of intensity on defense. Jennings and Monta is their backcourt. That's their firepower. Courtney [Courtney Lee] and I will have our hands full but it will be a team effort to win the game."
Paul Pierce: Celtics 'defense has got to come a lot faster'
|11.02.12 at 10:08 am ET
WALTHAM — Paul Pierce, as captain of the Celtics, has a way of sending a clear message to his team.
That was evident during the TNT telecast of Tuesday night's season-opening loss in Miami.
He was wearing a microphone and barking out calls on the floor and words of encouragement to Rajon Rondo when things weren't always going well.
On Thursday, before the Celtics home opener tonight against the Bucks, he was barking out something else.
"The defense has got to come a lot faster, and that's something that's come a lot faster in the past than the offense," Pierce said of Boston's 120 points allowed in a 120-107 loss to the Heat. "I'm pretty surprised we scored 107 points, to tell you the truth. Usually, the defense, we pick it up pretty fast. We understand our schemes, our rotations. But I just think we have to understand the type of atmosphere it was going to be. Some of the guys have never been in that atmosphere before, first game, playing against the defending champs on the road. We have to pick up our intensity, understand the moment, understand where we're at and understand the type of game it's going to be and raise our game."
Doc Rivers thought his coaching staff had too much time to prepare and filled their players' minds with too much information.
"I think our on-ball defense was average because our help defense was worse," Rivers said. "If everybody is up guarding their own man and there's no help and guys see gaps [in the defense], they're taking it. What really upset us, every key guy got every shot he wanted, where they wanted the whole, and that's a bad defensive night.
"It was team wide. It was spread. Like I told them, from the coaching standpoint, I thought we had way too much time to prepare for it and we put way too much stuff in their head. I thought they were thinking more than playing on instinct. I told our coaches we share in that. We had them doing a couple of different things and that's not who we are defensively."

Who's a dirtier player: Rajon Rondo or Dwyane Wade?
|11.01.12 at 4:27 pm ET
If it's possible, Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade are fanning the flames of the Celtics-Heat rivalry even higher.
After Rondo wrapped his left arm around Wade's collar in the waning seconds of a game already in Miami's hand on Tuesday night, the Heat guard called his Boston counterpoint out for what he interpreted as "a punk play."
"I got my kids watching so I stopped myself but it was a punk play by him," said Wade. "He clotheslined me."
He added: "I'm here to play basketball. If you want to do something else, then go do something else. Boxing, this is not it. I was glad I was able to stop myself in that very moment and move on from it. We'll see next time we play."
After C's practice on Thursday, Rondo responded, recalling a certain play in Game 3 of the 2011 Eastern Conference semifinals, when Wade pulled him to the floor and dislocated his elbow.
'I don't think it was a hard foul,' said Rondo, referring to Tuesday's flagrant-1 on Wade. "He sold it a little bit, and that's basketball. They were up, he drove to the hole and I didn't want to give up a layup. Simple as that. I didn't yank him down or dirty plays that you've seen him play in the past, so that's what it is.'
Wade didn't get whistled for a flagrant on Rondo two seasons ago, but that's a different argument about superstar calls and whether the Celtics point guard fits that bill among NBA officials. As for which play was dirtier, it's simple: Wade walked to the free throw line unharmed; Rondo walked off the floor clutching his arm in excruciating pain.
Doc Rivers goes on D&C to talk Ray Allen, state of Celtics and his failed pursuit of Tim Duncan
|11.01.12 at 10:29 am ET
Celtics coach Doc Rivers joined the Dennis and Callahan Show Thursday morning to discuss his relationship with Ray Allen, the Celtics' season-opening loss to the Heat, how he viewed his team going forward. (To listen to the entire interview, click here.)
I'm a little disappointed in it because we're behind. They're working. We're going to get it right, it's just going to take a little time.
With defense, you first have to have the buy-in, which I think we have, and then the trust. Then the execution. I think we're in the execution faze. When you have so many different guys and new guys, when things don't go right, their first thought is to do another coverage and when you do that on your own you're team defense breaks down.
We replaced Ray nicely, but having said that they're going to make a big deal about it because Ray is a good player. He's probably going to be a Hall-of-Famer, one of the greatest shooters who ever played the game and won a title with us. When a guy leaves and goes to the team that knocked you out the last two years, I think people make a big deal of it. I get that part of it. But we've moved on, and I've moved on the minute Ray said he wanted to go play for Miami.
I think we're potentially better, but I don't think we are right now. The continuity of our team has to settle in. On paper it looks great, but the key for us is everyone buying into their roles and understanding their roles. I think before the season starts everyone is happy, and then the season starts and you start figuring out, 'Wait, I'm not going to get as many shots or as many minutes.' Then you have what kind of character you have with your team.
You just don't know guys until you coach guys. I will say this, I think we've got a great group of guys. I don't anticipate that being a problem, but you never know.
Lee is a terrific defender, makes open shots, has a nice in-between game. You don't need to run offense for him to score, he'll score through the offense. And when you have Rondo, who I'll need to be more aggressive, with Kevin and Paul, that's a pretty good role in that lineup. It's really the same thing Avery gave for us last year, the same kind of fit. Jason Terry is a shot-maker. He's a guy who can create his own shot, he can create his shot through offense, and that's great. The same thing with Barbosa, he just has tremendous feet. I think Barbosa will be used as a change-of-pace guy. When he comes in, I told him before the Miami game, because there was no way he knew half our sets, 'Just go try and score. Just be as aggressive as possible, and I will call you back if you go over the line if I think you're over the line.' And I think he did a pretty good job of that.
Box and 1: Inside Celtics, Heat and 'punk plays'
|10.31.12 at 4:32 pm ET
Heat 120, Celtics 107: Observations about the box score from Game 1 of the C's (0-1) 2012-13 NBA season.
– On seven shots, Ray Allen scored 19 points (2-3 3P, 7-8 FT) against his former team. Not good. Not good at all. Allen delivered his first dagger — a wide-open 3-pointer from the corner — 1:03 into his 30:35 on the floor thanks to a missed defensive assignment by Jason Terry. So much for Terry's "Ray Allen who?" routine.
Doc Rivers (via ESPN.com): "You can live with LeBron [James] and [Dwyane] Wade making jump shots, but the first play I think Ray was on the floor, we leave him by himself in the corner. You'd think we would know better."
Translation: "We made dumb plays on defense. That's why we gave up 31 points in three consecutive quarters."
– When the Celtics signed Leandro Barbosa two weeks ago, Rivers already understood what his newest backcourt ingredient brought to the recipe: Instant offense. Directions are simple: If trailing by double digits late, insert Barbosa. And results are appetizing: 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3P) and a 19-point lead trimmed to two.
Rivers (via Celtics.com): 'If you get in a scoring contest and Barbosa's on the floor, you're going to feel pretty good about it,' said Rivers. 'Because that's how he's played. That's how he's used to playing.'
Translation: "I trust veterans. Barbosa is a veteran. Therefore, I trust Barbosa."
Leandro Barbosa gives Doc Rivers a 'feel-good' moment in loss
|10.31.12 at 3:56 pm ET
No one saw this coming this quick.
Leandro Barbosa was signed on Oct. 18 as another scoring threat off the bench who is also capable of handling the ball when Rondo is not on the floor.
On Tuesday night, it was not Jason Terry, Jared Sullinger or Jeff Green who was big off the Celtics bench. All three frankly struggled. It was Barbosa – the Brazilian beast – who exploded for 16 points in 16 minutes, making six of his eight shots from the floor and running with Rondo in the fast break.
"He was terrific," Doc Rivers said. "If you get into a scoring contest and Barbosa's on the floor, you're going to feel pretty good about it. that's how he's played, that's how he's used to playing. I love him, the way he attacks. He's clearly not scared of the moment. He bailed us out. We got back in that game down the stretch and it was because Barbosa was on the floor."
Indeed, Barbosa entered the game with 16.1 seconds left in the third quarter and played the entire fourth quarter, leading the Celtics from 19 points down to just a four-point deficit, 111-107, with two minutes left. Barbosa scored all 16 of his points in the final quarter, making quite the impression.
And it also creates quite the decision for Rivers to consider. Green played 18 minutes in the first three quarters but when Kevin Garnett came in for Green with 7:06 left in the fourth quarter, making just three free throws and missing all four field goal attempts. Terry wasn't much better on this night, going 2-for-7 from the field with eight points in 28 minutes.
But read between the lines in what Rivers said about Terry and apply it to the bench overall, and you get an idea of the patience Rivers plans to apply early in the season while he finds the right mixes and matches off the bench.
"Not great but there's 81 more," Rivers said. "He'll make up for it."

Frolic's Revenge ended a five-race winless streak and indicated that she is back in top form by defeating Awesome Belle by 4 1/2 lengths in Saturday's feature race at Calder Casino & Race Course.
My Pal Chrisy finished third, another 3 1/4 lengths back in the $40,000 allowance race for fillies and mares 3-year-old and up.
The three top finishers all won Calder stakes races last year.
Frolic's Revenge, ridden by Edgard Zayas, raced in third place through a half-mile and then surged past the leaders coming around the turn to win the one-mile dirt race in 1:39.23.
Calder moved the race from turf to dirt following rain showers Saturday morning.
The 4-year-old Frolic's Revenge was sent off at 9-2, fourth-highest odds in the six-horse field.
In the spring of 2012, she won three consecutive Calder stakes races for 3-year-olds.
"She has been in some tough races this year," said her trainer, Milt Wolfson. "She has gained weight in the last month and looked strong [Saturday]."
Frolic's Revenge has won stakes on turf and dirt.
"I'm not sure when we'll run her next because of what's going on here," Wolfson said.
He was referring to the dispute over upcoming race dates between Calder and Gulfstream Park.
Both tracks are scheduled to race every Saturday and Sunday from July 2013 through June 2014.
Officials of the two tracks met on Tuesday at Gulfstream to discuss possible ways of calling off that head-to-head racing. By picking those schedules in February, each track gained leverage for ongoing negotiations.
Officials at both tracks have said that Gulfstream has offered to lease part of Calder's racing operations, move some of its race days to Gulfstream and avoid head-to-head racing.
"They [Gulfstream and Calder] are talking this weekend and seem optimistic that they will have an agreement this week," said Phil Combest, a trainer and owner who is president of the Florida Horsemen's Benevolent & Protective Association.
Summit Preview
Calder will have its annual Summit Preview next Saturday with four stakes races — all with $75,000 purses at six furlongs on dirt.
Many of the horses in Saturday's races will be back at Calder on July 6 for the Summit of Speed. That day, Calder will have four graded stakes races at six furlong on dirt.
After finishing second to Oxbow in the Preakness Stakes (Grade 2) on May 18, Itsmyluckyday will get a one-month break from racing.
"His next race will be the Pegasus at Monmouth Park," Eddie Plesa Jr., the trainer of Itsmyluckyday, said Friday.
The Pegasus (Grade 3) will be 1 1/16 miles on June 16.
Plesa is using it as a prep for Itsmyluckyday for the 1 1/8-mile Haskell (Grade 1) on July 28 at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J.
Plesa will not run Itsmyluckyday in the Belmont Stakes (Grade 1) next Saturday even though he said, "I think he can handle the distance [1 1/2 miles]."
Plesa has horses at Monmouth Park and at Calder. Itsmyluckyday has won stakes at both tracks.
Itsmyluckyday began the Triple Crown series by finishing 15th in the Kentucky Derby on May 4.
Several days later Plesa said he "drew a line through the race" because Itsmyluckyday had difficulty with the sloppy track.
"We didn't lose confidence in the horse, and he proved us right," Plesa said.
At Gulfstrean this year, Itsmyluckyday won the Gulfstream Park Derby and Holy Bull (Grade 3) and finished second to Orb in the Florida Derby (Grade 1).

Lack Of Insurance Compounds Chronic Disease Burden
It's dangerous enough to deal with a chronic illness like diabetes or cholesterol. But Americans who don't have health insurance often have these conditions and don't even know it.
The result is that the uninsured often don't get the medical care they need to maintain their health, says a study just published online by the journal Health Affairs.
Researchers found that about half of all uninsured people who have diabetes (46 percent) or who have high cholesterol (52 percent) had no idea they had those diseases. By contrast, among the insured, only about a quarter were unaware when they had those chronic diseases (23 percent for diabetes; 30 percent for high cholesterol).
Dr. Andrew Wilper, who practices at the Veterans Administration hospital in Boise, Idaho, in a program affiliated with the University of Washington and is a co-author of the study, said there's sometimes a misperception that even people without insurance get the care they need to manage chronic illness. "I've read in the media multiple times that the uninsured do, in fact, have access to health care," says Wilper, "and I think that notion runs totally counter to my clinical experience and this data reflects the same."
Wilper and his co-authors, looked at a federal data from the physical exams of sixteen thousand Americans, under the age of 65.
Among the study's co-authors are two prominent advocates for a single-payer health care system: Dr. Steffie Woolhandler and Dr. David Himmelstein, both of whom teach at Harvard Medical School. Woolhandler said the "shocking" percentage of people with insurance who still go without discovery or treatment of chronic illness probably reflected high co-payments and deductibles that "often make care and medications unaffordable". In a press release with the report, she argued, "only single-payer national health insurance would make care affordable for the tens of millions of Americans with chronic illness."
An earlier study by the same researchers, published last month in the on line edition of the American Journal of Public Health, said that about 45,000 deaths a year can be attributed to a lack of health insurance—more than the deaths caused by kidney disease.
The government estimates 46 million people in America are without health insurance.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Michigan's business community is imploring lawmakers to raise more money to maintain roads for the first time since 1997.
Governor Rick Snyder's proposal to raise gasoline taxes and vehicle registration fees is getting a cool reception in the Legislature.
But groups representing manufacturers, farmers and the tourism industry said Monday that doing nothing is unacceptable. They say putting off a decision will leave residents with a higher bill down the road.
The business lobby likes Snyder's plan to raise $1.2 billion more with "user fees." Drivers using the roads would pay for their upkeep with higher gas taxes and vehicle fees totaling around $120 more per vehicle each year.
Former Gov. Granholm tried that and the plan blew up under intense public criticism.
"We tried
the sales tax on services in the past. It was a colossal failure in
2007. It's complicated. It's a gigantic general tax increase that not
addressing the problem," said Jim Holcomb, Michigan Chamber of Commerce.
"A sales tax on services in an industry such as us which is utterly dependent on disscrenary income, to increase the sales tax is something we'd look at but is probably not a good way to go. It does not take much for some to diswade someone planning a vaction her to go elsewhere," said Steve Yencich, Michigan Lodging and Tourism Association.
Some legislators are talking about raising the retail sales tax or expanding it to services instead. But businesses oppose those ideas.
Poiltical Consultant Kelly Rossman thinks if they governor goes the sales tax on service route, there better be a gas tax cut too.
"Anything you do if it is to increase the sales tax on services, then you need to rollback the tax on gasoline now at 19 cents per gallon," said Rossman.
The governor and his team have not shown any of this to lawmakers, yet, but it's a sure bet if they go this route, not everyone will be happy.

Obituary: Edward Harrison / Former basketball player at Laurel Highlands, Pitt
Died Oct. 6, 2013October 12, 2013 12:00 AM
Share with others:
Andy Warhol once said "everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" -- and while Edward "Buzzy" Harrison's brush with fame was short lived, he managed to stretch it to 40 minutes, or the length of a college basketball game.
Mr. Harrison, who played basketball for the University of Pittsburgh for one season but had one of the school's best individual performances in one of the most important games that season, died Sunday in his sleep. He was 62.
A 6-foot-4 swing player, Mr. Harrison was a standout player at Laurel Highlands High School. During his junior season, he was a key cog in the Mustangs' 1968 PIAA championship, as he averaged 13.4 points per game and locked down Cheltenham standout Craig Littlepage in the championship game.
A few years ago for a "Memory Lane" piece in the Herald-Standard, he told George Von Benko, a broadcaster, former classmate and the co-founder and co-chairman of the Fayette County Sports Hall of Fame, that his motivation for that season was he felt he was snubbed as a sophomore when he was put on the junior varsity team.
"When I was a sophomore I made coach Harold 'Horse' Taylor a promise," Mr. Harrison said to Mr. Von Benko. "I promised that I was never going to sit the bench again, because I felt like I should have been a part of the team before that when they made the great run in '66-'67. I told him at the end of the season that it was simple -- that was my last time sitting on the bench for anybody, so everybody better come prepared."
Mr. Von Benko said that although there were two bigger name stars on Laurel Highlands' 1968 team -- Wil Robinson and Jim Hobgood -- Mr. Harrison may have been the most important player on the team because of his versatility and ability to defend.
"Buzzy was a great player, a team player. He did what it took to help his team win," Mr. Von Benko said. "Even though he was a role player, he was catalyst for that team because he could score, and so he made it difficult for teams to focus on the other two guys as much. He did a lot of the dirty work, but he was also very talented."
Mr. Harrison decided to play college basketball at Pitt -- even though he had offers to play at Naval Academy, Brown and Harvard -- because he wanted to play for Buzz Ridl.
He played one year on Pitt's freshman team, as all freshmen did, then joined the Panthers varsity squad for the 1969-70 season.
Mr. Harrison was a reserve that season, but mostly because he was a sophomore, as his teammates recalled he was one of the best players on the team.
"I came in the next year and I was a freshman who played a similar position as Buzzy and he baptized me on what it meant to play at that level," said Pitt associate athletic director Kirk Bruce, who was Mr. Harrison's teammate at Pitt. "I had to guard him every day at practice and try and score on him. He was really something and he taught me a lot about how much I needed to work to improve my game really quickly. He could flat out play.
"I was talking to Tim Grgurich [a Pitt assistant at the time who spent a lot of years coaching in the NBA] the other day about Buzzy and he said to me, 'Buzzy was a pro,' and he obviously knows what he is talking about. You talk to anyone from that era and they'll tell how good he was."
Mr. Harrison's talent was on full display that year in the "Steel Bowl" against powerhouse and rival Duquesne. He scored 25 points off the bench to lead the Panthers to a 70-58 upset of the Dukes, who saw their 20-game winning streak snapped.
"That was pretty special, a lot of fun to watch," Mr. Bruce said. "Then the next night against UCLA, he had another great game against the Bruins, who were the defending national champs. He was just tough, a big, physical guard, who could score and rebound.
"And he was a really good teammate, always encouraging everyone to keep working hard."
Mr. Harrison averaged 9.9 points and 5 rebounds that season as a sophomore off the bench and seemed to be poised to do big things -- but it never happened for him.
He left the school after that season and enrolled at a small school in Oklahoma (the University of Science and Arts) and finished his career in relative obscurity, although he did set a school record for rebounds in a game (24) and was voted the team's most outstanding player his senior year.
There were several theories floated about why Mr. Harrison left Pitt, and most centered on him having academic difficulties. But he told Mr. Von Benko that wasn't the case.
"The party line at the time was his academics, that he had flunked a course or two," Mr. Von Benko said. "But he said they basically brought in some other players who played his same position and he was sort of pushed aside and Grgurich helped him find that school in Oklahoma. It is one of those stories that probably the full truth will never be known, but I take Buzzy at his word as I knew him for a long time."
Mr. Harrison's words on the subject also were chronicled in that "Memory Lane" piece by Mr. Von Benko and he said that he wasn't bitter toward anyone at Pitt.
"It was more or less an organizational thing," Mr. Harrison told Mr. Von Benko. "Billy Knight he was going to be eligible to play and we basically played the same position and so I was told that my presence at Pitt was no longer required since I wasn't on an NCAA scholarship -- I was on an academic scholarship. It was them saying we don't think you want to play here."
Mr. Harrison returned to the Uniontown area and worked most of his life at various jobs in construction and had other business ventures. He most recently worked at RW Sidley in Greensburg. But he was active in the basketball community and became somewhat of a playground legend. Mr. Von Benko said he volunteered his time working with kids.
"He had a positive influence on a lot of people," Mr. Von Benko sa
Mr. Harrison is survived by a son, Eric, and a daughter, Ebony.
Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to noon today at Lantz Funeral Home, Uniontown.obituaries

Effects of the per diem prospective payment system with DRG-like grouping system (DPC/PDPS) on resource usage and healthcare quality in Japan
AbstractIn 2003, Japan introduced the prospective payment system (PPS) with diagnosis-related groups (DRG) rearranged grouping system called the diagnostic procedure combination/per-diem payment system (DPC/PDPS). Even after eight years, little is known about the effects of DPC/PDPS. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of DPC/PDPS on resource usage and healthcare quality.
