text: Ralf defends Michael for giving Vettel easy passage in Brazil 27 November, 2012 Nov.27 (GMM) Ralf Schumacher has defended his brother, after Michael let the Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel easily overtake during Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix. Seven time world champion Schumacher, 43, has received some criticism for letting his friend and countryman Vettel overtake without a fight as the latter raced for his third consecutive drivers' world championship at Interlagos. Vettel ultimately won the 2012 contest against Alonso – who was Schumacher's last championship rival of 2006 – by a mere 3 points. But former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher said his brother's decision to just let Vettel go was "fair". "Sebastian was faster and he [Michael] didn't want to get in the way and increase the risk for him," Ralf told German television ZDF. "That's how fair sports people treat each other," he added. Jaime Alguersuari, meanwhile, said that the kind of help enjoyed by Vettel in Brazil is just part of F1. "I would have liked to drive a Mercedes in Sao Paulo and let Alonso pass to help with his third world title," the former Toro Rosso driver, Pirelli tester and Spaniard told AS newspaper. "I must remind you that F1 is also about engineering, political interests and money. "Someday, Fernando can benefit from the same circumstances that benefitted Vettel," he added.

Well he was in a Renault at the time! It seems when fight against Vettel you need to fight against Toro Rosso, all Renaut powered cars and Michael Schumacher. I suppose that's in the spirit of regulations cos it's not Ferrari! Hammad @shinzo Lol . . . You seem very annoyed But you now Vettel would have passed him in a lap or two. But you never know what would have happened. Look what happened to Kobayashi when he tried to overtook Michael. Michael left him enough room to from inside but it was very damp there and ultimately Kobayashi spun and lost a few places. I am divided on Schumi's this move. But it would be interesting to know what Mercedes bosses think of this move. They must not be too happy Hammad But who cares about Mercedes bosses? Schumacher must not give a shit about them. They are the one to blame for his torn legacy. MGP W01, MGP W02 and MGP W03 were shit pieces shinzo @Hammad – not really. Just don't like double standards… Bjornar Simonsen People complain about Alonso who has Massa to help him. Well, Vettel has 5 Five, F-I-V-E people that moves over for him! Webber, Vergne, Ricciardo, Schumi and Glock all just let gim by… How fair is that???????? jl Fernando is former Renault,… and he took 2 championship with them and Piquet crash. lol Forza Ferrari I was very disappointed with Michael when I saw him letting Vettel pass him without a fight, but I guess it's quite understandable why he did it. After all, who was the one who took away his last possible title in 2006? Alonso. And besides Michael and Vettel are both germans, so it's really no surprise that he let Vettel pass him so easily, even though it was very annoying to see that. I'm sure it was a big disappointment for many Ferrari fans to see Michael working against Ferrari, but it wouldn't have made much difference anyway, even if Vettel would've finished on 7th place behind Michael. jl Forza Ferrari, you are the pure fans who can see the real issue clearly. thanks guy. Disgusted with 2012 I don't get why some people bother to follow this sport. Newey joined Red Bull in Red Bull in 2006 with no success for 2 seasons. Seb arrives in 2008 to take the Toro Rosso to its first and only win, and the Red Bull organization its first win ever. Then at RBR in 2009 he manages a 2nd in the WDC his first year – then three WDCs in a row since, bringing RBR its only three WCC's. Yes, Newey designs great cars, but without Seb (and other Newey car driver greats like Senna, Prost, Mansell, Hill, Hakinnen, et al before him) his cars would be finishing where Weber is now – 4th to 6th with no WCCs. I'm not sure how anyone can pretend the only way Seb can be champion is through some grand conspiracy where teams and the FIA allow flagrant cheating and unfair advantages to play out in favor of one driver. Seb won his 3rd WDC in a hard fight against the best in the business – who are so insensed they can't bring themselves to give him kudos for a great job – exposing their true character as bad sportsman. I'm sure Seb will do his best to keep those flames of hatred glowing brightly. fools Petrov didnt for Alonso in 2010…. smh fools if mercedes is to blame for shumi then ferrai is to blame for ferrari? am i right there? i think so…but if alonso does say that…he is considered complaining? lol…you haters on alonso can never give up can you? lol…just comment and not bash…thats all i request. fools this is b.s. vettel and shumi fought hard @spa but not in brazil…CAN THAT NOT BE ANYMORE OBVIOUS? Peio bastard [email protected] There Is No Lost Love Between MICHAEL And His Two Former Bosses. MICHAEL Was Fired From The Reds. MICHAEL Was Fired From MERCEDES. MICHAEL Does Not Give A Damn To His Former Two Bosses. Does Anybody Need A Drawing Or Something ? Get Over It. Go, HAMILTON ! fdt To all the detractors: The fact that Alonso and Massa are both Ferrari drivers makes all their dubious tactics all right then, even deliberately breaking a gearbox to advance the other guy's position on the starting grid? I bet if it was a case of Michael giving Hammad @[email protected] O come on man If he was fired from reds: 1. then why would reds retain him as an advisor? 2. why would Montezemolo comes up with the idea of 8 teams and 3 cars per team? 3. Why would they try to bring Michael back from retirement as a replacement of injured Massa? You must at least get the facts right. Has Michael been an English he would have been declared a alien by people like you [email protected] @Hammad What Is Your Problem ? I Want Him To Stay. SAUBER Was Available, If He Wanted To Race For Them. Hammad I have absolutely no problem. I don't agree that he was axed by Reds of Mercedes. He could have extended if he wanted to but decided not to. Every body wants him to race. I wont see F1 in 2013. I came back in 2010 just because of him. As far as Sauber is concerned, I think the probability of getting a competitive car was too low that why he Schumi decided to quit. Moreover instead of going to Saubers he would have stayed at Mercedes Hammad I have absolutely no problem dear. I don't agree (or like) that he was axed by Reds or Mercedes. He could have extended if he wanted to but decided not to. Every body wants him to race. I wont see F1 in 2013. I came back in 2010 just because of him. As far as Sauber is concerned, I think the probability of getting a competitive car was too low that why he Schumi decided to quit. Moreover instead of going to Saubers he would have stayed at Mercedes [email protected] @Hammad Did You See The Dogfight In MONZA 2011 ? I Wish Mercedes Would Have Fired rosberg. LEWIS And MICHAEL Would Be An Awesome Team. AGGRESSIVE RACERS, FOREVER ! Hammad Very true . . . . That is also what the Jack Villeneuve said 2-3 weeks ago. Hammad @fools Calm down man . . . . There is no one in the world who would argue about the best driver of 2012 i.e. Alonso. He has been let down by Ferrari badly. Had reds been able to find a few tenth per lap Alo would have been the champ by a margin But Ferrari did improve in last few races. As an evidence look at Massa. Out of no where he out qualified Alo in last 2 races. At least give the devil his due fools @Hammad. Since I do not believe in the Devil. I cannot agree with you. Listen to my comment before you tell me what to do. Certainly when im already calm… Venezia Easy passage come on! It is but fair and they're just envious that vettel had won. They were crying too when massa's gearbox was suddenly changed. It is the same for everybody and in the end it is all but one winner. It is now the era of baby Schumeister! Hammad @fools FYI Schumi never blamed Mercedes for his lack luster return. He always said that we win and lose as a team. Look at Alonso, he always keeps complaining. This is the difference between a 7 timer and a 2 timer. Hammad Every body Check this out . . . GS SCHUMI is the only king in the world. but i think this was the only real mistake in his career. some incidents, collision, etc. was the part of the game those were into the world of racing but letting his fellow to easiliy pass him is a real shame. fools @Hammad, show me a link to what and where Alonso is quoted on complaining? If that is true Ferrari would have axed him by now yet they hail him why then? Hammad @fools They hail him because they knew its their fault not to hand him a title winning car. When Alonso ways that he is fighting with both Newey and Vettel what does that mean? Come on man . . . Do I need to provide you with any more evidence?

I adore all things vintage.
From classic fabrics and colors to hunting down the right piece or accessory of vintage media. Vintage finds are always an interesting and fun part of life to me. Vintage pieces can give a unique look and feel to an outfit or a room, especially when something "new" needs a balance.
I have found that people like fashion for different reasons…I enjoy the artistic, creative, colorful side of it…designing, & putting it all together…making new, creative friends and sharing similar interests and ideas…and I am especially touched when I see a purposeful fashion event, like many are, where money is raised for helping children, disease, and hopeful students!
I've loved fashion as long as I can remember, and I've been in the beauty and design industry since the time I modeled in 6th grade…since then, I couldn't wait to purchase the new issue of Vogue magazine…but I was drawn to the more classic, modest styles…the textures and colors of it.
As an lds christian mom, I see a need for modest alternatives to fashion and trends. Mormon moms like fashion too, but many of the current cuts and hemlines don't work for us.
I'm excited to share my collection with others and hope that they'll enjoy it as much as I enjoy designing it!

10 Faux Progressive Companies ... With Some Dirty Secrets
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
What makes a company "progressive"? A CEO's lefty politics? A dedication to people over profits? A solid environmental track record?
Many companies have earned credibility among progressives by marketing themselves as "different" (Apple), "green" (Seventh Generation), or "anti-sweatshop" (American Apparel), despite having a poor track record with the environment, sexism, union busting, monopolizing, and more. These companies are boosting revenues by tapping into the growing demand for socially-conscious products and businesses, especially among the wealthy, well-educated sub-set of progressive consumers.
I rounded up information on ten of the best-known companies that should be a disappointment to progressive consumers:
1. Apple -- Apple has long positioned itself as the computer company for creative types -- people who "think different" and are the antithesis of square, monopolistic Microsoft. That marketing has worked well for Apple; left-leaning cities like New York City and San Francisco are positively dripping with iPhones and MacBooks.
Although Apple products are beloved by progressives, Apple doesn't uphold a number of progressive values. For instance, the company has sneaky ways of getting around having to offer affordable health insurance to many of its workers, including including those who work 40 hours a week. Maddeningly, when workers voiced concerns about insurance and working conditions at the company, Apple managers responded by saying that working at Apple "should be looked at as an experience."
Apple also avoids paying its share of taxes by moving its patents and intellectual property (some of its biggest assets) to subsidiaries in overseas tax havens.
And then there's the troubling spate of suicides among factory workers at Foxconn, which manufactures Apple products. Believed to be the largest factory on the planet, Foxconn maintains poor conditions for its workers -- 10-hour work days with no communication allowed, little time off, and workers crammed in company dorms. Apple said it is investigating conditions for Foxconn workers. Changes so far include a wage hike and suicide prevention strategies (including, morbidly, hanging nets outside factory windows). However, the bigger issue remains: why are factory conditions overseas so poor, and why are major American companies allowing those conditions to persist?
2. Whole Foods -- Whole Foods may have started out as an independently owned, crunchy granola health food store in Austin, Texas, but the company long ago abandoned many of its hippie values.
Before I get into the problems with Whole Foods, I should note that there are many legitimately progressive facets of the company. For instance, Whole Foods pays its workers a living wage, with decent benefits, and as of 2006 no Whole Foods executive made more than 14 times what the average employee made. By comparison, the average U.S. CEO made 344 times more than the average worker in 2007, so Whole Foods' efforts to keep the executive-worker pay ratio in check is commendable.
However, there are some serious problems with the company. Despite paying its workers relatively fairly, Whole Foods is actively anti-union, having been a part of the corporate effort to rewrite the pro-labor Employee Free Choice Act. What's more, Whole Foods' CEO John Mackey once said, "The union is like having herpes. It doesn't kill you, but it's unpleasant and inconvenient, and it stops a lot of people from becoming your lover."
Mackey, a self-avowed free-market libertarian and fan of Ayn Rand, is also famously opposed to healthcare reform. Back in 2009, he wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal opposing a single-payer system. "We are all responsible for our own lives and our own health," he wrote. "We should take that responsibility very seriously and use our freedom to make wise lifestyle choices that will protect our health."
Another recent dust-up involved the company apparently bending to Islomophobic bloggers and scaling back a planned Ramadan promotion.

Topic Outline
Peripheral venous cannulation, among the most common medical procedures, has revolutionized the practice of medicine. Peripheral intravenous (IV) catheters allow for the safe infusion of medications, hydration fluids, blood products, and nutritional supplements.
This topic will discuss the indications, contraindications, performance, and complications of peripheral venous catheter placement without the use of ultrasound guidance. Emergency vascular access in children, peripheral venous catheter placement under ultrasound guidance, and central venous catheter placement are reviewed separately. (See "Vascular (venous) access for pediatric resuscitation and other pediatric emergencies" and "Principles of ultrasound-guided venous access" and "Overview of central venous access".)
Indications for venous access — Most often, intravenous (IV) access is obtained to provide therapies that cannot be administered or are less effective if given by alternative routes. As examples, IV hydration and nutritional support can be given to a patient with severe vomiting or abdominal pain from a surgical condition. Certain medications are more effective when given intravenously due to rapid onset or increased bioavailability. Some clinical situations, such as cardiac arrest, require treatment using IV medications; blood products must be given intravenously. In some instances, IV catheters are left in place when medications are given intermittently over a longer period (eg, long-term antibiotic therapy) or in case of a potential emergency.
Indications for peripheral versus central venous access — The decision to obtain peripheral rather than central venous access depends upon clinical circumstances. In general, peripheral catheters are preferred when IV access is required for shorter periods, when direct access to the central circulation is unnecessary, and when smaller gauge catheters suffice. Peripheral access is generally safer, easier to obtain, and less painful than central access. In patients taking anticoagulants, peripheral access allows for direct compression of puncture sites and fewer hematoma-related complications compared with the sites used for central venous catheters.
Central venous catheters are often preferred in patients receiving sclerosing medications that can damage peripheral veins or being treated with vasopressors, which can cause injury if extravasated. Central venous access may also be preferable in patients with severe volume depletion or in whom peripheral venous catheter placement has a low likelihood of success (ie, frequent users of illicit IV drugs). (See "Placement of femoral venous catheters", section on 'Indications' and "Overview of central venous access", section on 'Indications'.)

WASHINGTON - On the two-year anniversary of the disappearance of Robyn Gardner, of Frederick, Md., prosecutors in Aruba tell WTOP they still believe Gary Giordano of Gaithersburg, Md., kidnapped and murdered his traveling partner.
"The case is still open, and we accuse him of murder, kidnapping, and fraud," says Ann Angela, a spokesperson for the Aruban prosecutor's office.
Gardner disappeared Aug. 2, 2011. Giordano told police she didn't return to shore when the two went snorkeling.
Giordano was detained in Aruba for almost four months, but a judge ordered him released when prosecutors couldn't produce enough evidence to hold him.
Giordano was never charged, and Gardner's body was never recovered.
Giordano's attorney Steven Kupferberg, tells WTOP, "Gary authorized me to say he has no comment" about prosecutors' allegations or the anniversary of Gardner's disappearance.
In the days after Gardner's disappearance, Giordano contacted American Express, seeking payment of the travel insurance policy he'd taken out for Gardner. The two met on a dating website.
Gary Giordano was held for four months in Aruba in 2011. (AP)
Federal court records show the Maryland case is nearing settlement.
Danielle Colson-Unglesbee, Gardner's sister, says Gardner's family "is still hoping for her return."
"We certainly love her very much. I'm going to church to light a candle in her honor, and my mom will do the same in Florida," says Colson-Unglesbee.
Colson-Unglesbee says lawyers for American Express told her they were drawing up final settlement papers, which do not include any payout to Giordano.
"We're very happy about that," says Colson-Unglesbee.

Coming aboard the full-time Wesleyan staff in 1996 and now an adjunct professor in the physical education department as well as an assistant director of athletics, John Raba enters his 18th season as head coach of men's lacrosse during 2014. John has a 195-91 record at Wesleyan, including an 18-3 mark in 2007, the best season ever at the college, and a 16-4 record in 2006 as the team advanced to the NCAA Division III tournament semifinals both years. For his accomplishment in both 2006 and 2001, when the team went 17-3, John was named NESCAC and NEILA Division III Coach of the Year. John earned his fifth NEILA Coach of the Year award following a 15-4 season in 2009 as his Cardinals captured the NESCAC tournament title for the first time and qualified for the NCAAs for the fourth time in a five-year span. He was named co-Coach of the Year by the NEILA in 2005 after his squad posted a 13-6 overall mark, reached the NESCAC finals and received its first-ever bid to the NCAA Division III tournament, making it to the quarterfinals. Both his 2000 and 2001 squads reached the ECAC New England Division III title game. After posting a 14-4 mark and reaching the NESCAC Championship game in 2004, John got NEILA Coach of the Year laurels as well.
Rick McCarthy - Assistant Coach
Serving as the head coach of the men's lacrosse team at Western Connecticut State U. for the 2004 and 2005 seasons, Rick McCarthy will be in his 10th year with the Cardinals, having returned to Wesleyan as an assistant coach in 2006 after serving in that capacity during the 2003 campaign. In December, 2006, Rick was honored by the Intercollegiate Men's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IMLCA) as the Division III assistant coach of the year and was inducted in the Connecticut Lacrosse Hall of Fame in January, 2010. Before 2003, Rick had been head coach of Eastern Connecticut State University's highly successful men's lacrosse team from its inception as a varsity team in 1996 through the 2002 season. In his seven seasons at ECSU, Rick posted a lofty 91-19 record and was a three-time conference coach of the year. He led the Warriors to post season berths each of his last four seasons, including two ECAC New England Division III playoff berths in 1999 and 2000 and two straight NCAA Division III tournament at-large qualifications as champions of the Little East conference in 2001 and 2002.
Charlie Congleton - Assistant Coach

FYI, There Was a World Media Summit Thursday
Did you hear about the 2013 World Media Summit in Hangzhou, China? Chances are no, unless you're an avid reader of Chinese media.
Although this year's edition featured execs from The New York Times Company, AP, Reuters, the BBC, Al Jazeera Media Network, NBC News and others, there is scant international coverage. Something David Bandurski, editor of the University of Hong Kong's China Media Project, considers rather amazing:
One of the things I find most incredible is that there are virtually no news reports of the event anywhere outside China. This is an international summit about media, hosted by a country that has an abysmal record this year alone on media and information (including the crippling of Sina Weibo, its most vital media platform), and no one wants to talk about it.

|NBA Power Rankings, 12/16
|12.16.10 at 5:41 pm ET
With all the injuries to the Celtics as the NBA storms into the second quarter of its 82-game season, what better time than now to sort through the injury lists of the league's 30 teams — ranked from first to worst?
One quick observation before delving into this week's Power Rankings: Perhaps the Eastern Conference, from top to bottom, isn't THAT much worse than the West. Just as the top five teams in the East could give anybody out West a run for their money, the bottom three teams in the Western Conference (the Kings, Clips & T-Wolves) are just as bad — if not worse — than their counterparts back East.
So, without further ado …
1. Boston (20-4): While the injuries continue to mount (see: "brothers, O'Neal" — not to mention Delonte West and Rajon Rondo), the Celtics continue to pile up victories, as their 11-game winning streak is the best in the NBA. That's the single scariest thing about this team: They haven't even played their best basketball.
2. San Antonio (21-3): Unlike the Celtics, the Spurs are healthier than ever, as Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Richard Jefferson and Tim Duncan are all feeling fine. As a result, they're all playing better, which is why they have the best record in the league. While its nothing major, Parker is listed as day-to-day with a splint on his right middle finger. Wonder how he got that.
3. Dallas (20-5): The Mavericks aren't really missing the immense production (2.0 personal fouls & 1.5 points per game) of the immortal Rodrigue Beaubois. The health of Tyson Chandler might be the biggest surprise — and biggest positive — for the Mavs, as he's truly anchored their defense this season.
4. LA Lakers (19-7): A walking knee injury the past few seasons, Andrew Bynum returned once again from a lengthy sabbatical, totaling seven points, four boards and two blocks in 17 minutes. His presence should help their recent .500 stretch. Now their injuries are limited to Theo Ratliff, who's been listed since 1983.
5. Miami (19-8): The Heat haven't skipped a beat since Udonis Haslem suffered a potential season-ending injury on Nov. 20. Now, the only two guys outside of Miami Thrice who were supposed to contribute (the other one: Mike Miller & his thumb) haven't been a part of their current 10-game win streak. So, are they the team that was 9-8 through 17 games, or the 10-0 team from the last couple weeks?
|NBA Power Rankings, 12/9
|12.09.10 at 6:37 pm ET
1. Boston (17-4): The Celtics have the best top six in the NBA and the best defense in the league. They're the best shooting team in the league, and they've won eight consecutive games despite not having Rajon Rondo at full strength. With five All-Star candidates, they've been the most complete team.
2. San Antonio (18-3): The Spurs won another three games this week, and Manu Ginobili (20.1 points, 5.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds) has played his way into the MVP conversation. Oh, and New Hampshire's own Matt Bonner is making two 3's a game while shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc.
3. LA Lakers (16-6): After losing four straight, the Lakers are back on track with three consecutive victories. This whole Andrew Bynum situation is strange. Phil Jackson seems to call him out on a daily basis, but why rush him back? The guy is like Mr. Glass. Don't you want him healthy for the playoffs?
4. Dallas (17-4): The Mavericks have the longest winning streak in the league at 10 games. Even Ian Mahinmi is contributing double-doubles. Why did this team all of a sudden decide to start playing defense? This team could've won multiple titles if they were playing defense like this in the mid-2000s.
5. Orlando (15-6): You can't really blame the Magic for losing two straight games to Atlanta and Milwaukee. Dwight Howard, J.J. Redick, Mickael Pietrus and Jameer Nelson have all been hit by the flu. With them, they've been able to keep pace with the C's. Without them? Not so much.
|NBA Power Rankings, 12/2
|12.02.10 at 4:57 pm ET
1. Boston (14-4): The Celtics rank first in the NBA in field goal percentage and assists per game, while ranking fourth in points allowed. They're in the midst of their second five-game win streak of the season, and their four losses are by an average of just 4.0 points. On Wednesday night, they showed an ability to beat a good team (the game Trail Blazers) despite playing poorly. All that adds up to one dangerous team.
2. San Antonio (15-3): The Spurs are the biggest surprise of the season, and they've done it by reinventing themselves — again. While the dynasty Spurs of yesteryear were more of a slow-'em-down, defensive-minded team, this year's edition ranks fourth in the NBA in scoring at 106.6 points per game. Maintaining a veteran core, they've integrated younger talent like James Anderson, DeJuan Blair, George Hill and Tiago Splitter onto the roster.
3. LA Lakers (13-6): The Lakers have lost four straight for the first time since acquiring Pau Gasol three years ago. That's pretty significant. Speaking of Gasol, as a result of Andrew Bynum's absence, he's been logging 39.4 minutes per game this season. What's more concerning for the Lakers is the fact that they've struggled to integrate their newcomers into their defensive schemes — and rank 18th in points allowed as a result.
4. Dallas (14-4): Believe it or not, the Mavericks are actually playing defense. Tyson Chandler has set a tone that's translated into a third-place ranking in points allowed. And Dirk Nowitzki continues to be an offensive force. He may look like he's flopping around the court, throwing up rainbows, but he makes 54 percent of them. As a result, the Mavs already have wins over the Nuggets, Celtics, Spurs, Hornets, Hawks and Heat.
5. Orlando (14-4): Having won nine of their last 10 games, the Magic are the hottest team in the NBA. The main reason? Their defense. They allow the fewest points per game of any team in the league. Dwight Howard is making his case for MVP, leading his team in points, rebounds, blocks and steals. Even Rashard Lewis has shown signs of life, as he's back to shooting 40 percent from beyond the 3-point line.

Obviously, we're going to release a Thanksgiving Day version of the NBA Power Rankings, taking a look at what teams should be thankful for one-sixth of the way through the season. So, without further ado, here they are:
1. L.A. Lakers (13-2): The two-time defending champion Lakers can still be thankful for Memphis Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace for deciding to deliver Pau Gasol to them. Statistically, Gasol is the most efficient player in the NBA right now, cementing himself as the best big man in the league.
2. San Antonio (13-1): The Spurs can be thankful that Richard Jefferson is still alive, Tony Parker has a renewed focus solely on basketball and Manu Ginobili is healthy. Surround those guys with the ever-productive Tim Duncan and a nice core of young talent, and you've got a championship-contending formula once again.
3. Boston (11-4): The Celtics can be thankful that they didn't land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft that turned into Greg Oden. As a result, the C's decided to go another route, trading for Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. As an aside, it's a shame that Delonte West broke his wrist on Wednesday night; after overcoming some personal issues, he was truly embracing this season.
4. New Orleans (11-3): The Hornets can be thankful Chris Paul hasn't gone completely insane over their inability to surround him with enough talent to contend. I'm not sure how they're doing it this season, but they're winning with a group of guys that — outside of David West — aren't exactly household names. You can't argue with their success against a tough schedule.
5. Dallas (10-4): The Mavericks can be thankful that Dirk Nowitzki was still available with the ninth pick in the 1998 NBA Draft and that their owner is a bazillionaire who is willing to spend money to surround him with the talent to win 50 games a season year in and year out.

|The NBA 30 on 30: Blogosphere Forecast (3 of 7)
|10.25.10 at 2:31 pm ET
NBA fans live a team's ups and downs. They react to every draft pick, trade and free-agent signing. They debate the merits of the 15th man. They find significance in the most insignificant stats. They simply KNOW their team. So, too, do bloggers. That's why we sought the opinion of the league's best blogs — one for each of the 30 teams — to break down the team they cover and, of course, the Celtics.
We'll move to the Western Conference's Southwest Division with the third of a seven-part, two-day series (check out Part 1 and Part 2) …
by Rob Mahoney, The Two Man Game
ON THE MAVERICKS: Dallas is still a relevant feature in the Western Conference landscape (they'll likely be on par with the rest of the conference's quasi-elite), but their ability to contend leans on a rather substantial "if." The only way that the Mavericks have access to the same exclusive contender's club that the Celtics call home is if a certain team on the West Coast experiences some kind of monumental collapse.
The Lakers aren't just the defending champs. They're also the most complete team in the league. They won the title last year for a reason, and that reason depends less and less on Kobe Bryant's individual brilliance. Naturally, Kobe still matters a great deal to the Lakers' success, but Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest have never been more relevant.
It's those players that make L.A. a transcendent team, and it's those players that make the Lakers into the Western Conference's seemingly unconquerable threshold. All teams in the West must go through the Lakers, and while the Mavs may have plenty of excellent pieces and a few beneficial matchups, they pale in comparison to L.A.'s grandeur.
It looks to be another successful season for Dallas. They're shooting for their 11th straight year of 50-plus wins and seem poised to make a deep run into the playoffs. Dirk Nowitzki is still highly productive and efficient; Jason Kidd continues to defy time itself with every jump into the passing lanes and perfectly threaded pass; and the team has some fantastic young pieces in Rodrigue Beaubois, Dominique Jones and Ian Mahinmi to complement a deep and impressive cast of veterans (Caron Butler, Shawn Marion, Brendan Haywood, Jason Terry, Tyson Chandler).
Put it all together, and Dallas is an awfully impressive team. Just not impressive enough to join the Lakers on their pedestal.
ON THE CELTICS: It's tough to determine who will sit where at the top of the Eastern Conference seating chart, but the Celtics are undoubtedly among the conference's elite teams and among the league's true contenders. Walking into this season with last year's roster alone would have put them near that distinction, but it's Boston's heavily active offseason that makes them an even more intriguing team.
The C's are stacked at virtually every position, and that depth will certainly come into play as Boston looks to stay competitive throughout the year while still resting their veterans as much as possible. As I mentioned before, it's still tough to pin Boston to a particular seed in the Eastern Conference race, not only due to the variance of the East's other contenders but also because Boston's lackadaisical run through the 2009-10 regular season provides us more reason to question their in-season motivations than ever.
Will the Celtics do more of the same, taking their time while working into a rhythm? Will they now approach the regular season with the same urgency that marked their 2007-08 campaign? No one can say for sure, and I'm not sure there's necessarily a wrong way for them to go about it. Last year's method turned out pretty well for Boston, as did the breakneck pace of the 2008 season, and this year should yield more of the same: A successful playoff run after a good regular season, sprint or not.
They're probably not the best team in the East, but that doesn't mean they can't force their way to the Finals through the conference's equivalent of rock-paper-scissors (Miami-Orlando-Boston). With the right matchup, Boston can be right there in June, and no one should be surprised.
by Tom Martin, The Dream Shake
ON THE ROCKETS: The Rockets, as usual, are relying on good health to prevail throughout the season, especially once May rolls around. They've got plenty of talent, if healthy, to make a run for a Western Conference title. They're deep, they're experienced and they're capable of beating anyone.
It remains to be seen how a balanced team can proceed through the playoffs, but if there's any team that can make it happen, it's this squad. Yao Ming will need to be healthy, the defense will need to actually exist (and be top-notch, at that), but it's possible. Keep an eye on Courtney Lee: He could make a big difference. Predicted record: 51-31.
ON THE CELTICS: Last season, Boston showed everyone why winning in the playoffs is a different art than grueling it out for 82 games. With added veteran presences in Jermaine and Shaquille O'Neal, along with a presumably healthy Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Garnett, the Celtics should be ready and able to make, perhaps, one more title run before age gets the best of everyone. I've got Boston in the Finals once again. They're that dangerous. Predicted record: 52-30.
by Chip Crain, 3 Shades of Blue
ON THE GRIZZLIES: The Grizzlies are the mirror image of the Celtics. They are young and talented with nearly no experience. Built via the draft and a few opportunistic acquisitions by former Celtic GM Chris Wallace, not one player on the team is expected to be over 28 to start the season.
Former Celtic Tony Allen was signed in the offseason to bring experience and defensive intensity to the team. The starting five for Memphis is very strong with all-star Zach Randolph, Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo, Mike Conley and Marc Gasol, but the bench is full of question marks.
If Hasheem Thabeet, Darrell Arthur, Allen, Sam Young, Xavier Henry and Acie Law IV can form a cohesive enough unit to give the starters some rest during games, the Grizzlies should be a strong candidate to return to the playoffs.
If any of the starters gets hurt for an extended period or the bench fails to be able to hold onto leads for the limited minutes they play, then it will be another lottery experience for the fans of the Grizzlies.
ON THE CELTICS: The Celtics remind me of the expression: "Old age and treachery will beat youth and talent every time."
The Celtics used this strategy to rest their stars leading up to last season's playoffs, then unleashed the rested veterans on an unsuspecting conference before finally falling to their archrivals in the finals. The C's are having to reload this season with some formidable challenges ahead of them.
Perkins' injury probably cost the Celtics another NBA title last season and could cost them homecourt advantage in the second round this season. The O'Neals, Shaq and Jermaine, were dominant players in their day, but that day has long past. How this will affect the interior defense is unknown at this time.
The loss of Tony Allen as a defensive stopper on the perimeter doesn't help, either, but the biggest loss could be Tom Thibodeau. The Celtics also added Delonte West, whose off-court issues have overshadowed his on-court play.
The roster is aging but not dead and will likely be a force in the playoffs as the game slows down to a crawl and experience takes precedence over talent.
by Rohan, Manager, At the Hive
ON THE HORNETS: The Hornets experienced one of the busiest offseasons in franchise history, no question. There was the hiring of a rookie coach, the draft-day trade, the hiring of a rookie general manager, the blockbuster four-team trade, the flirtations with the unveiling of a rookie owner, all overlaid on top of never-ending Chris Paul drama.
And there's reason to believe they've navigated it successfully. The team essentially turned Darren Collison and James Posey's terrible contract into Jerryd Bayless and Trevor Ariza (while Collison's stock is far higher than Bayless' at this point, the disparity between the two isn't really that huge).
They brought in competent rebounders — Aaron Gray, Pops Mensah-Bonsu — for Darius Songaila, who, believe it or not, played the second-most minutes at both power forward and center for the 2010 Hornets.
This is by no means an elite team, but via addition by subtraction (Songaila, Posey) and addition by addition (a healthy Chris Paul), it should be a middle-of-the-pack Western team at 45 to 50 wins.
ON THE CELTICS: One of the biggest keys to Boston's success will be the team's ability to work the O'Neals (and, to an extent, Delonte West) into the team's defensive system, without Tom Thibodeau.
Given the ages of the team's key contributors, the Celtics are going to need a comprehensive 1-12 effort throughout the season. I do like the team's summer pickups (and it's important not to overlook the re-signings, either), but whether the various new pieces will fit is another question entirely.
In the end, I think this is a middle-of-the-pack Eastern Conference team. Let's say 45 to 50 wins — with a chance to turn it on in the playoffs, a la 2010. But at the end of the day, they'll be a step below both Orlando and Miami.
by Dale Dye, Pounding the Rock
ON THE SPURS: Hampered by the new rules surrounding technical fouls, Tim Duncan is ejected from the first 10 games of the season. Eventually, he's able to stay in games by training himself to replace his incredulous expression with his other one.
Manu Ginobili signs a contract with Rogaine, and with his bald spot now completely gone, he grows out his hair again and averages 15 free throws a game as a result.
Tony Parker, playing for a new contract, guns for stats through the first half of the season until finally returning to form after Gregg Popovich threatens to send him down to the D-League.
Richard Jefferson gets engaged and considers joining the cult his fiancée belongs to. After returning from a retreat in Death Valley during the All-Star Break, he says he feels reborn and averages 18 points and nine rebounds for two months, until breaking off the engagement on the eve of the wedding and going into a slump.
Regular season record: 55-27. Third seed in the West.
ON THE CELTICS: In November, Shaq re-changes his nickname from The Big Shamrock to The Big Limerick and is fined $50,000 by the NBA when his first poetical recitation includes an off-color rhyme in the final line. O'Neal responds by mumbling something about artistic license.
December finds Justin Bieber singing the national anthem in the TD Garden on Von Wafer bobblehead giveaway night. The singer dies in the figurine avalanche that ensues.
After a January in which Ray Allen fails to make a single 3-pointer, he proceeds to average .850 behind the arc in February.
In the push to the playoffs, KG and Shaq convince the rest of the team to shave their heads for solidarity, but Delonte West (after spending the entire year growing out his afro) refuses, sending the team into a tailspin that lands them the second seed behind Miami.
Regular season record: 59-23.
Check back tomorrow for Parts 4-7 of this seven-part series: the Eastern Conference's Central Division.
|Twelve minutes to make it count
|02.08.09 at 5:40 pm ET
Ray Allen knew what to expect days before playing the San Antonio Spurs.
'It comes down to a fourth-quarter battle,' he said on Friday. 'They're not going to come in and make small mistakes. They're going to operate their offense. Defensively they're going to know what they've got to do.'
Allen was exactly right. On Sunday, the Celtics entered the fourth quarter with a two-point lead and were outscored 31-23 by the Spurs. They lost 105-99 (RECAP HERE). It was the second time in two games the defending champs fell in the final 12 minutes. Last week they started the fourth quarter up by four on the Los Angeles Lakers before losing 110-109 in overtime.
'When you play the top teams in the league it comes down to the little things,' said Paul Pierce. 'And I just thought last couple of games at home it was one or two-point games. It's the little things — defensive transition late in the game, covering for one another, one possession. It's like the playoffs, one play can kill you. Every possession counts and we got to understand that when we play against the top tier teams like the San Antonio Spurs and the Lakers.'
The Celtics have hit cold streaks in their last two losses. Up six with eight minutes to go against the Lakers, the C's failed to build on their lead. The Lakers went on an 11-5 run during a five minute stretch to tie it up, eventually winning in OT.
On Sunday the Celtics allowed an 11-4 Spurs run in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter. Later in the game they watched a 93-90 lead slip away to a 101-93 deficit.
'You've got to get stops, everybody's got to be on the same page,' said Kendrick Perkins. 'Besides getting stops, on the offense you've got to execute, you've got to throw the extra pass when guys are open. Usually a team like San Antonio, you can't beat them with the dribble. You've got to beat them with the pass. You can't turn the ball over at all against San Antonio. So I just thought in stretches we played together and stretches we didn't move the ball and that was the key.'
The Celtics have allowed a total of 215 points in their last two games at home. It is an overwhelming difference for a team who has held their opponents to just 92 points per game over the season. Nonetheless, head coach Doc Rivers was able to see a silver lining in the losses.
'Well it tells me that we're really good, because we've not played with our A-game, as Tiger Woods would say, I guess,' he said. 'And we still had a chance to win both. Both games we had the lead and gave it up. Gave up points, which is not like us. In a sick way I guess I'd rather be down and not be able to score than up and give up baskets, because we're a defensive team. But we clearly have to improve. Our bench has to be more consistent. They gave up an 8-1 run to start the fourth. You know, that hurts you. It's tough to recover from that.'
The Celtics will have two days to regroup before facing the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday. They are aware of their mistakes; now it is a matter of fixing them.
'In general, you can't turn the ball over,' Allen said. 'You have to execute on both ends down the floor in the fourth quarter.'
The Celtics know what to expect down the stretch. Lucky for them, there's another 12 minutes to prove they can take care of business.
|The Admiral Salutes the Celtics
|10.28.08 at 9:09 pm ET
12 years ago David Robinson and Doc Rivers sat next to each other in the San Antonio Spurs locker room, sharing dreams of becoming NBA champions. Three seasons after Rivers retired, Robinson realized his ultimate goal and won it all. On Tuesday night, Rivers finally realized his.
Robinson was on hand to watch Rivers receive his championship ring as the head coach of the Boston Celtics. The Admiral, coincidentally, had already planned to be in Boston and it couldn't have been better timing.
'I love Doc,' Robinson said after the Celtics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 90-85 on Opening Night. 'He's a great guy. I was watching him through the playoffs and this is really the first chance I've really had to talk with him and congratulate him. It was really good to be able to get up here tonight.'
Just as many of the Celtics were overcome with emotion, Robinson felt it too. Like Pierce, it took him 10 years to win his first NBA title. He felt a sense of relief for both Rivers and the players.
'I know it was an emotional time for [Doc],' he sad. 'He has a great family and they went through a couple of really hard years and that kind of redemption is super. Tonight was even kind of an emotional time just watching him and knowing what it felt like for those three guys to get their first ring. Pretty nice, pretty good.'
Robinson stepped away from the game in 2003 after winning his second championship in five years with the Spurs. He knows firsthand just how hard it is to repeat.
'Obviously we weren't able to do it,' he said. 'You've got to have a lot of luck along with being ready. Mentally they've crossed the line. They're ready mentally. But I remember one year Tim Duncan got hurt and that changes your whole picture. If they lose Kevin Garnett, if they lose Paul Pierce, that's stuff that you can't control. They have the right mentality now; they know they can win games; they're going to figure out how to get themselves ready for the playoff time; Doc is great, so I think they're in as good of a position as you could ask.'
Health, Robinson points out, is the key to success both in a season and a career. He spent 14 years in the league and offered advice to the young Celtics big men.
'Work on your body. Make sure you're strong, you're healthy,' he suggested. 'You get so many bumps and bruises and if you don't spend the time to be strong, if you don't spend the time in the weight room outside of practice and outside of the locker room, you're going to struggle. I don't have a huge body, I'm not a 280-pound guy, so it's even more important to keep your joints strong. So that's what I would encourage these guys, just work on your body all the time. Be strong, be ready, be prepared to play and hopefully that'll keep you from injuries.'
For all the sweat and tears that go into defending a title, there are also perks to being the champs. There is that special feeling they will be reminded of for 82 games.
'One of the things that I remember the most is before every game coming out there and you're sitting on the bench getting ready to be called up and they say, 'And now you're Worrrrld Champion San Antonio Spurs!" Robinson said. 'That' the best thing and you get to enjoy it all year long.'

Birds by name
Conservation status: Red
Of the UK's birds of prey, this is the most intensively persecuted. Once predating free-range fowl, earning its present name, its effect on the number of grouse available to shoot is the cause of modern conflict and threatens its survival in some parts of the UK, particularly on the driven grouse moors of England and Scotland.While males are a pale grey colour, females and immatures are brown with a white rump and a long, barred tail which give them the name 'ringtail'. They fly with wings held in a shallow 'V', gliding low in search of food, which mainly consists of meadow pipits and voles. The Orkney population is famous for being polygynous, with males sometimes simultaneously mated to multiple females.
Circus cyaneus
Hawks and eagles (Accipitridae)
The hen harrier lives in open areas with low vegetation. In the breeding season UK birds are to be found on the upland heather moorlands of Wales, Northern England, N Ireland and Scotland (as well as the Isle of Man). In winter they move to lowland farmland, heathland, coastal marshes, fenland and river valleys. Those found in eastern and south-east England are probably mostly visitors from mainland Europe.
They arrive back on upland breeding areas from late March and stay there until August and September. Away from breeding areas birds can be seen from October to March and Continental birds will join residents in October and November.
Mainly small birds and mammals.
* UK breeding is the number of pairs breeding annually. UK wintering is the number of individuals present from October to March. UK passage is the number of individuals passing through on migration in spring and/or autumn.

DFDS and Louis Dreyfus said they are not making a revised joint bid for assets of Sea France because of resistance from the union representing the majority of seamen at the ailing French ferry operator.
The Danish and French shipping companies failed to meet a Dec. 12 deadline to table an improved offer after their original $6.5 million bid for the subsidiary of French state railway SNCF was rejected by a Paris commercial court.
DFDS said it was not possible to establish a dialogue with the CFDT union, which represents the majority of Sea France employees.
Sea France, which mainly operates freight and passenger services between France and the U.K., went into receivership in 2010 after suffering losses of around $325 million.
European Union competition regulators outlawed a $270 million bailout by the French government, prompting a court-led bid to find private buyers for the company.
The decision not to make a fresh bid represents a setback to DFDS's plan to build a pan-European shipping and logistics network following its $475 million takeover of Norfolk Line, the short sea unit of Denmark's A.P. Moller-Maersk in 2010.
"We sincerely regret this decision as the underlying industrial logic of DFDS and Louis Dreyfus Armateurs joint venture remains intact," the companies said in a statement.
"We will continue to monitor the situation and evaluate any further opportunities that may arise for the joint venture."
DFDS and Louis Dreyfus planned to retain three of Sea France's four ships and 460 of its 800 on-board workers.
