Gossip Girl Fashion Recap: An Episode to Forget?by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Six weeks in the making, the thought on everyone's mind during "The End of the Affair" was, undoubtedly, "WHAT?" We've examined the episode in detail in our review and Round Table. Now let's talk Gossip Girl fashion!
It was hard to focus with a puppy-faced Blair, a bewildered Chuck, and a secret-filled-fro that is Dan, but we managed. An odd-fitting wedding dress, a horrid sequined sweater, and one-to-many fascinators fill out this week's recap!
Let's get down to business ...
Back from France and looking fierce in head-to-toe McQ, Blair tries to hide her feelings behind some powerful duds, too bad Chuck knows something's up.
Blair's Actual Blazer: McQ Trompe l'Oeil Blazer (vest inset)
Blair's Actual Dress: McQ Lace Dress
Steal Dress: Motel Elsa Rose Lace Dress
Shocker, Serena is decked out in sequins and on New Year's Eve, nonetheless. We like this sparkler look though, a full taffeta skirt and mismatched prints is definitely edgy and fashion forward. Go, S!
Actual Dress: Alice + Olivia Stacey Dress
Steal Dress: Susana Monaco Sequin Mini in Birch
Actual Cardigan: Augden NY Brittany Cropped Cardigan
Steal Cardigan: Autumn Cashmere Sailor Stripe Cardigan
There's a whole 'lotta mustard going on in this look. Though that cape is divine in all its utilitarian glory and those Miu Miu pumps are to die for, there's something about it that screams ... pickle? What is going on with that pillbox fascinator; it can't save that limp hair, B. Sorry.
Actual Cape: Gryphon Combo Sherlock Cape
Steal: Tracy Reese Runway Cape
Actual Top: Diane Von Furstenberg Trelodie Top
Steal Top: Alice + Olivia Arie Tie Collar Blouse
Actual Pump: Miu Miu Patent Platform Loafer Pumps
Steal Pump: Chinese Laundry "Next to Me" Pumps
How sad were we when we learned that our girl BW won't be wearing this "custom" Vera Wang on her actual big day? Pretty damn upset. However, a dress this perfect and so true to her style should only be worn for the right groom - and who might that be? Side Note: How was Blair supposed to wear this dress if she was supposed to be pregnant still? That isn't empire cut, we're just saying.
Actual Wedding Dress: Vera Wang Gisele Spring 2011
Steal Wedding Dress: Reem Acra Virtue Gown
Fascinator alert! Cream all around screams bride-to-be, but this betrothed beauty is anything but blushing with happiness. It's too bad since that coat is beyond chic.
Actual Coat: Diane von Furstenberg Mikhaila Wool Coat
Steal Coat: Nanette Lepore Napa Valley Coat in Cream
A rosy rosette sleeved shift is essential for a romantic night out, especially to ring in the New Year with your fiancée. Riggggggghhht. Keep telling yourself that, B.
Actual Dress: Naeem Khan Rosette Dress
Steal Dress: Nightcap Victorian Lace Deep V Cap Sleeve Dress
And Serena drops the sparkle ball. What happened here? No one knows, usually S kills it when dressing for her weekly UES bash. Where this should scream "night to remember," it chokes and says "office work party." Ouch.
Actual Dress: Lorena Sarbu Sequin Scallop Dress
Steal Dress: Free People Chevron Sweater Dress

im wondering why didnt Blair's mom make her dress? (i know its not real, but it could just be in the storyline right?) I mean, in the earlier episodes wasnt she supposed to be making her dress?
no, it's a different coat and I can't find any info about it.... Anyone :(?
Marc Jacobs Jacqueline Coat
Does anyone know who makes the coat Serena was wearing in last nights episode when she goes to Blairs house to talk to louie?
I personally loved the wedding dress. Too bad I didn't feel the same about the episode...
too bad that the "custom" dress is off-the-rack too.. it's called "Gisele" from last year's collection. Blair is meant for custom, it's only right, especially if she's marrying Chuck. And this dress SCREAMS Blair, the dress from the first episode wasn't her at all and neither is the one from the 100th episode promos.
I loved the "custom" Vera Wang dress. It was perfect!
Loved Blair's NYE dress, but Serena's was barely covering herr non-existant ass. I'm deeply disappointed GG is going with off-the-rack Vera Wang for a royal wedding, and the bridesmaids' dresses are from {gag!} David's Bridal!
I love Blair's custom Vera Wang wedding gown, and would love to see her wear it when she marries Chuck... I'm being postive, ok? lol...
blair's dress in the last photograph is beautiful

Lange, John J. Held, Jr. and Eugene L. Johnson ABSTRACT: A cast for immobilizing broken limbs which includes a pair of bivalved shells, an inflatable liner in each of the shells, an absorbent liner or padding, and means for releasably securing the bivalved shells together. The cast is reuseable, permits convenient visual inspection of the broken limb without destruction of the cast, and provides for adjustment of the volume of the inside cavity and the pressure on the immobilized limb through adjustment of the inflatable liners.
Patented May 25, 1971 3,580,248
T1 4 z av WMes'm/ S BI-VALVED CAST BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to the field of immobilizing broken limbs and other body parts through the use of a cast or splint. The customary means of immobilizing a broken limb is the plaster-of-paris cast which is not reuseable, does not provide for visual access without the destruction thereof, and which cannot be adjusted to compensate for swelling and contraction of the immobilized limb.
There have been a number of efforts to depart from the traditional plaster-of-paris cast in favor of a lighter, reuseable and adjustable cast. There have also been efforts to make casts which may open for visual inspection of the limb, and close when the inspection is completed. None of these prior art devices, however, offer the advantages of the present invention.
The Ramirez patent US. Pat. No. 3,032,033, for example, discloses a resin-impregnated fiberglass shell which includes two halves which are secured together to form a cast which conforms to the shape of the limb to be immobilized. The
Ramirez cast, however, does not include any means for adjusting or compensating for the difference in configuration between the limb and the shell of the cast. In other words, the rigid shell portion must be formed with extreme care to insure that it conforms accurately to the shape of the limb which is to be immobilized. The present invention, with its inflatable liner, provides for substantial adjustment to insure that the immobilized limb will be tightly held even though there may be differences in shape and size between the cast and the limb. Moreover, the present invention allows for continued adjustment to compensate for swelling or a decrease in size of the immobilized limb.
The Gottfried patent (US. Pat. No. 3,153,413) discloses an inflatable pressure bandage-splint which provides adjustability to compensate for swelling or decrease in size but it does not include a rigid outer protective shell. In addition the Gottfried bandage-splint provides for visual access and reclosing of the device. There is, however, a lack in uniformity in the thickness of the inflatable liner from a maximum thickness opposite the closure means to a complete lack of thickness at the closure means. The lack in liner thickness at the closure means along with the lack of a protective rigid outer shell limits the value of the Gottfried design to temporary or first-aid type applications.
Other substances have been disclosed for use in the formation of a cast such as plastic foam which is the subject of the Gibbons patent (US. Pat. No. 3,403,676). Although initially there is excellent conformance between the cast and the immobilized limb, the Gibbons splint does not include any means for adjusting the inside cavity of the splint as the immobilized limb swells or decreases in size.
SUMMARY The present invention provides a bivalved cast which overcomes most of the problems of the prior art. The invention includes two rigid half shells which correspond generally to the body portion to be immobilized and which each have a generally channel-shaped cross section and mating edges which define a plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the body portion. An inflatable liner is disposed in each of the rigid shells and extends over substantially the entire inner surface. Means is provided exterior of the rigid shells for inflating each of the liners. A layer of absorbent material is placed inwardly of the liners to make direct contact with the immobilized limb. Means is provided for releasably joining the two shells to thereby form a protective cast which may be opened for visual access to the limb.
In addition to the provision of convenient visual access without destruction of the cast, the present invention makes adjustment of the cast a simple matter. More particularly, as the limb swells or contracts the pressure in the inflatable liners may be varied to compensate for the swelling or contraction and the thereby maintain a constant pressure on the limb. Moreover, pressure may be varied, within the limits necessary to immobilize the limb, to provide for individual patient comfort.
The bivalved cast of the present invention need not be formed to accurately conform to the shape of the body portion which is to be immobilized, since discrepancies may be readily compensated for by the inflatable liners. And finally the cast of the present invention is substantially lighter than most casts, particularly the plaster-of-paris cast, yet provides equivalent protective and immobilization strength.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a reuseable cast which may be opened for visual access to the immobilized limb without destruction of the cast and which includes means for adjusting the pressure between the cast and the limb.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the bivalved cast which comprises the present invention, in its closed position, without association with the limb to be immobilized. While a cast for the lower leg is shown, the present invention may be used for a number of other applications. In FIG. 1 the inflatable liner and absorbent material may be seen as well as one connection for inflating the liner.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the cast shown in FIG. 1 and shows the upper and lower shell, the upper and lower inflatable liners, the absorbent padding material placed inwardly of the inflatable liner, and a sectional view of the immobilized limb, in this case a leg. FIG. 2 also shows the means for releasably securing the two rigid shells together.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the means for releasably securing the two shell halves together.
FIG. 4 is an axial sectional view of the cast and shows the relationship between the cast, the inflatable liners, the absorbent padding material, and the immobilized limb.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The general nature of the preferred embodiment may be readily understood with reference to FIG. 1. The bivalved cast 10 which comprises the present invention includes an upper rigid shell 11 and a lower rigid shell 12. Both shells l1 and 12 are formed to conform to the general shape of the body portion which is to be immobilized, in this case a leg, and each of the shells have a generally channel-shaped cross section. Each of the shells has two edges extending longitudinally thereof and which define a plane passing generally throughthe longitudinal axis of the immobilized limb. With reference to FIG. 1 the edges are shown in mated relationship at 13 and 14. Thus the edges (the point of contact between the upper rigid shell 11 and the lower rigid shell 12) define a plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the immobilized limb.
Each of the shells is provided with an inflatable liner. Liner 15 is nested in rigid shell 11 and liner 16 is nested in rigid shell 12. Each of the inflatable liners 15 and 16 extend over substantially the entire inner surface of rigid shells 11 and 12, respectively.
Valve 20 protrudes from rigid shell 11 to serve as a means for inflating liner 15. A similar valve 21 protrudes from lower rigid shell 12 to serve inflatable liner 16, as best seen in FIG. 2.
A layer of absorbent material such as sheet wadding 22 and 23 is placed inwardly of inflatable liners 15 and 16, respectively, to make direct contact with the immobilized limb.
The means for releasably securing the rigid shells 11 and 12 is mated relationship, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, includes a pair of fasteners on each side of each shell. Each fastener includes a bracket 25 secured to upper rigid shell 11 such as by rivets 26, most conveniently seen in FIG. 3. A lower bracket 27 is secured to lower shell 12 such as by rivets 28. Threaded member 29 is pivotally secured to lower bracket 27 and passes through bracket 25 to accept wingnut 30 which is threaded thereto. Bracket 25 is offset downwardly with respect to joint of the lower leg from a point above the knee to a point below the heel, the bivalved cast which comprises the present invention may be used for a wide variety of other applications. More particularly, it may be formed with a rigid shell conforming in shape to other parts of the body so that it may be used for fractures of the calcaneus, matetarsals, fibulas, tibias, femur, fractures of the body of vertabres, fractures of vertrabral bodies, clavicular fractures, metacarpal fractures, etc. It is therefore contemplated that the present invention may be used as an upper leg cast, lower leg cast, an upper arm cast, a lower arm cast, a body spica, a foot cast, a neck cast, and a hand cast.
Rigid shells 11 and 12 may be formed in a wide variety of substances, the primary requirements being radiolucence and adequate rigidity without excessive weight. Substances such as aluminum, resin-impregnated fiberglass and plastics may be used. Suitable commercial substances are sold under the trademarks GLASKYD, available commercially from Amercian Cyanamid Company, SCOTCHPLY, available commercially from 3M Company, BAKELITE, available commercially from Union Carbide Plastics Company and DUREZ, available commercially from Hooker Chemical corporation, Durez Plastics Division.
Inflatable liners l and 16 may be formed of rubber, plastic or other pliable material which is inflatable.
The absorbent layers of absorbent material 22 and 23 placed inwardly of inflatable liners l5 and 16 may be formed of gauze or sheet wadding or a sponge material.
Other means may be employed to releasably secure the two rigid shells together. A wide variety of fasteners may be used including the nonmetallic fastener sold under the trademark VELCRO, a product available commercially which consists of mating hooked pile fabric forces.
The pressure in inflatable liners l5 and 16 should be 75 to 95 percent of diastolic pressure for best results. Such a pres sure range provides substantial immobilization of the body portion and yet does not inhibit or prevent circulation of blood in the arteries and veins of the body portion in the cast.
The operation of the present invention may be readily understood with reference primarily to H65. 1 and 2. The rigid shells 11 and 12 are opened and the limb, L, is placed in the lower shell 12 and the upper shell 11 is closed. After shells 11 and l2are secured in mated relationship, air is introduced into inflatable liners l5 and 16 through connections and 21. A conventional pressure device may be readily employed to measure the pressure in the liners. Liners l5 and l6 provide a uniform pressure on the immobilized limb and automatically compensate for any variation in distance between the shell and the limb such as may be seen with reference to FIG. 4. As
the limb swells or contracts the volume of air in liners 15 and 16 may be varied to maintain the limb under a constant pressure.
The cast may be opened to allow visual inspection of the limb without destroying the cast. When inspection and treatment is complete is may be conveniently closed.
The bivalved cast 10 may be reused by simply removing the layers 22 and 23 of absorbent material followed by replacement with new material. The cast may also be washed if desired.
In conclusion, it may be seen that the present invention provides a novel bivalved cast which has significant advantages over the casts of the prior art.
Variations may be made in the form of the invention shown without departing from its scope which is to be limited only by the following claims.
I claim: l. A bivalved cast comprising:
a first and second rigid shell corresponding in configuration to the body portion to be immobilized, each of said shells having a generally channeled-shaped cross section and mating edges which define a plane passing through the longitudinal axis of said body portion;

Michael Larabel
Comment On This Article
Among the interesting package updates for
the latest GNOME 3.3/3.4 development update
are some of the changes to Clutter and Cogl (the Clutter OpenGL component) in preparation for their version 1.10 releases.
Clutter 1.9.2 was released last week as the first post-1.8 development snapshot for what will eventually become Clutter 1.10. This new version has support for multi-backend builds with the ability to switch back-ends now being moved to run-time. The Clutter back-ends can be switched at run-tune by using an environmental variable (
A new back-end to the Clutter 1.9/1.10 series is a GDK back-end, which uses the GNOME GDK API for creating drawing surfaces and receiving the windowing system/input events.
There's also improved Windows build support (for Microsoft Visual Studio 9 and Visual Studio 10), hint when ClutterText is in the password mode, ClutterStage has been deprecated, and many bug-fixes are present.

for Clutter 1.9.2.
Related to that is also the Cogl 1.9.2 release (

|The Delonte West Timeline
|10.29.10 at 4:34 pm ET
Following HoopsWorld's report that Delonte West and Von Wafer exchanged blows during a practice before tonight's 7:30 p.m. game against the New York Knicks at the TD Garden, we put together a simple timeline of an offseason that explains a little why the Celtics may be considering dumping West even before he fulfills the 10-game suspension levied upon him this summer …
- July 15: On trial for six weapons charges from a 2009 traffic stop in Maryland, West pleaded guilty to carrying an eight-inch bowie knife and transporting a handgun on his motorcycle. He was sentenced to eight months of home detention, two months of probation and 40 hours of community service. As a result, NBA commissioner David Stern suspended West for the first 10 games of the 2010-11 season.
The Washington Post reported: "Three guns were found — a 9mm Beretta in West's waistband, a Ruger .357 Magnum strapped to his leg, and a 12-gauge shotgun in a guitar case slung over his back, authorities said. West also had additional shotgun shells in a backpack, investigators said."
- July 26: In the wake of "The Decision," the Cleveland Cavaliers traded West — along with Sebastian Telfair — for Ramon Sessions and Ryan Hollins.
- August 3: In order to save $4.1 million in salary, the T-Wolves released West.
- September 1: The Celtics signed West to a non-guaranteed deal for the veteran minimum.
- September 27: Officially donning a Celtics uniform again on Media Day, West denied rumors that sufraced during the 2010 NBA Playoffs that he and LeBron James' mother, Gloria, had engaged in a relationship.
"Not at all," he told reporters. "I come from an era where you don't say nothing bad about someone's parent, so not at all."
- October 11: In an open diary to the public on ESPN.com, West praised the camaraderie of this veteran Celtics team. He also commented on his past:
"People make mistakes but that's what life is," West wrote. "You've got to learn from them and keep going. This team is here to win. The unselfishness stands out. Everyone is just submerging themselves within the team. It's all about team here. That's the type of player I am anyway, I'm always about the team. I put the team before my individual goals my whole career. It's good to be on a team like this."
- October 13: On a preseason road trip, the Celtics sent West back to Boston from New York to undergo testing for the back spasms that had been ailing him throughout training camp.
- October 22: Still healing from his lower back injury, West returned to practice in a limited fashion.
- October 24: In a game of 2-on-2 (West and Semih Erden vs. Wafer and Luke Harangody), West and Wafer exchanged words after West drove hard to the basket and scored consecutive baskets against Wafer — with West telling Wafer to "do something about it."
- October 26: Shaquille O'Neal told ESPN's Brian Windhorst that he encouraged Celtics vice president Danny Ainge to sign West, because the two had respect for each other as teammates in Cleveland.
"I know he won't get out of line," O'Neal told Windhorst. "There's five or six guys that he truly respects here. Last year I don't think he respected anybody but me on that team. So I was able to talk to him."
"He got out of control a lot of times and usually when people get out of control they shut their buttons off to somebody they respect," O'Neal added. "I know he respected me because I can get out of control too. I had to yoke (sic) him up once or twice, tell him to let it go bro."
- October 26: In an interview with WEEI's Big Show, Ainge admitted that the team considered the risks of re-signing West.
"I think everybody is aware that Delonte has had challenges off the court," Ainge told The Big Show. We are trying to give him the support that he needs. The players that were with him before, our coach that was with him before and myself and ownership I think we were aware of that risk and I think we were comfortable with that risk."
- October 29: Following a physical game of 3-on-3 in practice, Wafer returned to the locker room as West taunted him with obscenities, according to HoopsWorld. West allegedly threw a punch at Wafer in the locker room, leading to a scuffle. Now, Ainge is reportedly considering terminating West's deal.
|Irish Coffee: Vin Baker Comes Clean
|at 10:37 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
Six years after the Boston Celtics terminated him for violating his alcohol treatment program, a near-broke Vin Baker has come to terms with how alcoholism and depression squandered a 13-year career — and an $87 million contract.
While promoting a book he's written about his ordeal, Baker admitted in an appearance on Connecticut's Stan Simpson Show that he began to recognize the existence of a problem before the 2002 trade that sent him from the Seattle SuperSonics to the Celtics.
"Towards the end of my Seattle career, when I was traded to Boston, I knew something was going on that I had to change," Baker told Simpson. "At the time, I really couldn't change it, because it's a disease. It affects 18 million Americans. At the time, I didn't know what was going on. I had to fix it. It was a situation where the support system around me was tough."
Irish coffee, indeed.
One season removed from an Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 2001-02, the Celtics had hoped Baker could return to some semblance of the player that made four straight All-Star Games from 1995-98 and won a gold medal at the 2000 Olympics.
In Boston, Baker sunk deeper into the diseases that had already derailed a promising career. In just 89 games over two seasons, he averaged only 7.7 points and 4.6 rebounds before being suspended from the team when coach Jim O'Brien smelled alcohol on his breath during a practice. Baker said he wanted to change, but couldn't.
"I had to figure out a way to make it right," Baker said in his appearance on the Connecticut FOX affiliate. "I couldn't make it right. The Celtics — a great organization — they worked with me, but with my issues I didn't take the time I needed to take to make it right."
It's a shame Baker's career fell off so sharply and abruptly, considering that four-year stretch — averaging 19.7 points and 9.6 rebounds — before a 1998-99 NBA lockout that saw the New England native balloon to 300 pounds.
"When you're doing certain things on the court, a lot of times people just trust your talents," Baker added in the interview. "They don't know what's going on inside your heart and your mind, and it becomes very difficult to relay to people that, you know, I might be struggling with something. Entertainers, basketball players, NFL players – sometimes it gets to a point where they don't understand who you are as a person. They just look at the money, the power, the fame."
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Brian Scalabrine revealed what made Tom Thibodeau such a valuable asset in Celtic practices over the last few seasons: The C's assistant coach and defensive guru wasn't afraid of anybody, including Kevin Garnett.
"He likes KG, and KG loves Thibodeau, but he stared right at Garnett and said, 'We're doing it this way, you have to do it better, do it harder, and do it more together or I'm going to have to make a change,'" Scalabrine told the Tribune. "If coach Thibodeau can do that to Kevin Garnett, he can do that to anybody."
The question moving forward is — when this year's Celtics suffer defensive lapses — can Lawrence Frank do the same to guys like KG and the O'Neal brothers? Time will tell.
By the way, if you're wondering how Scalabrine is performing in Chicago, the answer is: Just fine, thank you very much. He's shooting 100 percent from the field. Of course, he's only taken one shot in 11 minutes.
Oh, and my new favorite Twitter personality to follow is @FakeScalabrine. Over the last few days, he's given us gems like: "Shaq is picking up my slack with the missed layups," and, "Watching Nate clank threes and just thinking, 'Man, that could be me.'"
Speaking of Garnett, Sports Illustrated's Kevin Mannix details just how much KG's knee problems affected his play last year — and how far he's come since.
One Eastern Conference scout told Mannix that he thought KG was "finished" last season after seeing Andray Blatche score 23 points on the 2007-08 Defensive Player of the Year.
"Offensively, he understood what he could or couldn't do," Doc Rivers told Mannix of last season. "He had become a pick-and-pop player. It frustrated him that he couldn't post more. He couldn't get his balance. Defensively, guys were driving by him, beating him off the dribble. He couldn't get blocked shots."
"Watching Kevin now is like night and day from last season," Rivers added in the interview. "In camp last year, I thought he was physically healthy, but mentally he wasn't sure. He was scared to do things."
One of the driving forces behind KG's return to the old KG was Pau Gasol's 18.6 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game in the 2010 NBA Finals.
"Gasol having that good series," Rivers added, "really ticked Kevin off."

|NBA Power Rankings, 10/28
|10.28.10 at 2:40 pm ET
1. LA Lakers: After receiving their championship rings, the Lakers started 1-0, thanks to new addition Steve Blake, who nailed a last-second 3-pointer to defeat the Rockets — on an assist from Kobe Bryant. Wait a second, Kobe trusted a teammate? And a new teammate to boot? I must have read that wrong.
2. Boston: The Celtics made their statement on opening night: When they're up for a game, they can beat anybody in the league, including the LeBron-led Heat. Then they made another statement last night: When they're not up for a game, they can lose to anybody in the league, including the LeBron-less Cavaliers.
3. Miami: LeBron was right when he said after the loss to the Celtics that Rome wasn't built in a day. In reality, it was built over the course of 870 years. I don't think it'll take that long for the Heat to start jelling. They played pretty poorly in the opener — and still almost beat our No. 2-ranked team on the road.
4. Oklahoma City: Kevin Durant took his first step towards claiming his MVP trophy, totaling 30 points and seven rebounds in a season-opening win over a team that will probably be one of the league's best defensive squads (the Bulls). So, what's in store when he plays against the Pistons tomorrow night? Watch out.
5. Orlando: I overheard a conversation at the TD Garden the other night. One guy said to another, "Hey, how come you don't like Orlando's chances this year?" The other guy's reply? "They still have Vince Carter, don't they?" I couldn't agree more. That's why — no matter how impressive their preseason was — they're not higher.
|Irish Coffee: Top 5 Tommy Moments
|at 10:36 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
The Worcester Telegram's Bill Doyle had a nice piece on Tommy Heinsohn and Mike Gorman entering their 30th season as the Celtics' broadcasting team.
Get this: Tommy actually believes he's calmed down in his tenure as the color man.
"I stopped making it World War III," Heinsohn told Doyle.
We'll see about that. Here's five of Tommy's greatest moments as an announcer caught on tape:
1. "This is getting ridiculous. This is absolutely ridiculous."
2. "Can I say it now? I … LOVE … WALTER!"
3. "I've seen a lot of players, but I can say this without a moment's hesitation: Jackie was HORRIBLE. SUCKED!"
4. "This is absolutely — NBA: It's stupid."
5. "Wait a minute. That's a terrible call. That is a TERRIBLE call."
In case you missed it, with one second remaining on the shot clock last night, Cleveland's Anthony Parker managed to catch an inbounds pass, swing the ball left to right, set up for a 3-pointer and get it off.
I'm sure Tommy got a kick out of that call, especially considering it basically ended the C's chances against the Cavaliers last night.
"That was the longest second in NBA history," Doc Rivers cracked. "I wasn't going to argue. Somebody didn't push that button quick enough."
"We're at home," Byron Scott countered. "It's supposed to be a long one second."
The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Bill Livingston explained why Cleveland fans thanked the C's for defeating the Heat and deserved that extra-long second …
It was a very long second. But the Cavs and their fans had waited a very long time, through the spring, the summer, and into the fall for a break. This morning, the Cavs can look down in the Eastern Conference standings on the Miami Heat, albeit by only a half-game.
It won't last. But neither did the false savior.
The Plain Dealer's Mary Schmitt Boyer called the Celtics Cleveland's "archrival." Isn't that cute? They think C's-Cavs is a rivalry …
By beating the archrival Eastern Conference defending champion Celtics in their first regular-season game since the departure of LeBron James, the Cavs served notice that they're still here and they can — and will — win without James.
Jim Ingraham of Ohio's Morning Journal reveled in the victory, taking a shot at LeBron …
No fan base has ever needed a win on opening night more than this tortured, tormented fan base, abandoned as they were by a self-absorbed tag-along, looking for a shortcut to a championship ring.
They were rewarded for their loyalty with a rousing king-cleansing opening night victory.
Apparently, President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton need Shaquille O'Neal's help ingratiating themselves to foreign diplomats. According to the New York Daily News, an autographed pair of Shaq's shoes is among the gift items given to government leaders on overseas trips.
What else from the Celtics could Obama use in his gift package? Tommy's headphones? Paul Pierce's wheelchair? Perhaps Rajon Rondo's headband; he doesn't need that anymore.

|Paul Pierce knows clutch when he sees it
|10.27.10 at 3:38 pm ET
You know you're clutch when Paul Pierce says you're one of the best clutch players he's ever played with. Kevin Garnett echoed those feelings about Ray Allen after the sharpshooter showed off his deadly shooting prowess again late in Tuesday's season-opening 88-80 win over the Miami Heat.
Allen hit a clutch three-pointer from the left baseline with 49.8 seconds to go in the fourth quarter to seal Boston's win over LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the highly-anticipated NBA lid-lifter at TD Garden.
"I've been a witness of it the last three years, and he's one of the best players that I've ever played with," Pierce said of Allen. "It's an honor just to be able to step on the court with him night in and night out. You've got a guy that can take that kind of pressure off you, it's an amazing feeling. I don't know if you guys realize it, but Ray, he's hit so many game winners for us and so many clutch shots for us, we have confidence to get him the ball in these situations. He delivers nine times out of ten."
"And this guy hits big shots himself," smiled Garnett, who added just the right amount of perspective.
But Pierce also admitted, "I like watching, too."
Pierce did exactly that when he fed Allen off a designed play and the Celtics desperately needing a bucket to regain control after Miami drew to within three on a James lay-up with under a minute remaining.
"We drew a play out of the time out, and the only thing we said is, if it's not there, it won't be there because they have to rotate, and if they rotate, if we make the next pass, the ball will find the open guy," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said, before giving props to Pierce for making the extra pass.
James was defending Pierce very closely and not giving him a good look so the Celtics captain found an open and willing Allen on the left baseline.
"And that was terrific," Rivers added. "He had a shot, but it would have been contested, and he made the extra pass. We always talk about no hero ball, and to me that was a hero pass in a great way. He didn't have to make that pass, but he made the right decision, and it was great."
Who was supposed to be on Allen? Former Celtic Eddie House, a shooting guard who can appreciate hitting the clutch shot.
"I should have stayed with him on the baseline," House said. "He kicked it out and got that one right in front of our bench. That's a play I've already replayed in my head about 1,000 times already. But Ray just does that to you."
|Irish Coffee: Rondo Hall of Fame-bound?
|at 10:54 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
In the first NBA game since 1969 to feature 13 former All-Stars, it was the most recent player to join that list whose star shone brightest.
In his fourth year in the league, Rajon Rondo emerged as an Eastern Conference All-Star, so what's in store for the Celtics point guard's fifth season — and beyond?
"He's got a good chance of being a Hall of Fame-type player," Jermaine O'Neal said after last night's 88-80 opening-night victory against the Miami Heat.
High praise? Sure. But Jermaine isn't the only O'Neal heaping praise upon Rondo after playing just one regular-season game alongside him.
"It's a lot of fun," Shaq said of playing with Rondo, who finished with 17 assists last night. "He's the perfect point guard. He knows where all his guys are. He led us out there, and he didn't let us panic on the floor. Great player."
Since entering the league, Rondo's point, assist and steal averages have risen each season, culminating in last year's 13.7 points, 9.8 assists and 2.3 steals per game. His rebounding numbers had also risen each season until a slight dip in 2009-10 put him at 4.4 per.
Is it ridiculous to assume Rondo could average 15 points, 11 assists, five rebounds and two-and-a-half steals per contest in 2010-11?
Those statistical averages would compare favorably with the fifth-season numbers of the four most recent point guard greats (all either HOFers or HOF locks) — Steve Nash (15.6 points, 7.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.0 steals), Jason Kidd (11.6, 9.0, 4.8, 2.4), Gary Payton (20.6, 7.1, 3.4, 2.5) and John Stockton (17.1, 13.6, 3.0, 3.2).
And Shaq agrees, especially after Rondo found him with a couple floating assists around the rim last night. "The last six or seven years I really haven't had a point guard like that," said Shaq, "but I'm just getting back to what I'm used to. I'm by the basket, and when he comes by the basket I just gotta be ready."
If you'll recall, just two years ago, Shaq played one-and-a-half seasons with Nash himself.
Obviously, the most glaring weakness in Rondo's game is his shooting. Defenders point to the .500 field goal percentage in each of his last two seasons, but it's his 3-point (24.4 percent in his career) and free throw shooting (63.0) that need improvement.
During the preseason, Rondo demonstrated a new-found knack to knock down the mid-range jumper, but he didn't have that touch in the opener, finishing 2-of-9 from the field last night.
Nobody's asking Rondo to have Nash's 3-point (40.0 percent in his 5th season) and free-throw shooting (89.5 percent in Year 5) ability, but how about Payton's (30.2 3-point FG and 71.6 FT in Y5)?
Kidd also started his career as a sub-.300 3-point and sub-.700 free-throw shooter. Since then, he made himself into a .425 3-point and .808 free-throw shooter last year in Dallas. All I'm saying is, there's hope.
And if indeed Rondo emerges as a Hall of Fame-type player as J.O. alluded, that would mean the C's current starting five would feature a full lineup of HOFers.
Not bad for a guy that joked in the video accompanying this blog that he might not still be in the NBA in 2012.
The Celtics got exactly what they hope for out of Shaq last night: nine points, seven rebounds and a block in 18 minutes. So, how did The Big Shamrock feel about his first night as a Celtic?
"I just wanted to come out and just play," said Shaq. "I had a couple early-game jitters. I missed a couple chippies, but Rondo … gave it back to me. We're all gonna get better, and I'm gonna get better. It's gonna be a great year."
Shaq talked to the media for about five minutes after the game. Here are a few highlights:
- On the opening-night hype: "We just wanted to come out and win our first game, and that's what we did. We let y'all worry about all the hoopla and all that. We knew that we wanted to come play a solid game, and we knew if we did what we wanted to do then we could get a win. This game is over. We've got a game tomorrow, and we just want to be 2-0."
- On Ray Allen's clutch 3-point shot in the final minute: "Ray is one of the greatest players ever to play the game — a great shooter. Doc (Rivers) drew up a play. It's a play we practice all the time. We had many options, and that was one of our options. Ray Allen just did what he does — shoot the ball and make it."
- On Paul Pierce: "He's a great player. I don't think you guys give him enough media attention that all the other guys get, but he's up there with the other two players over there (LeBron James and Dwyane Wade). He's a great player, a great scorer, and his name should be mentioned more."
- On the Boston crowd: "Excellent. Electrifying. Magnetic. … It was great. It's a great town. People here are anxious to get No. 18. It's going to be like that all year, and we want to remain a dominant team at home."
- On starting 2-for-2 from the free-throw line: "I was leading the league? A thousand percent? That record got messed up pretty quick."
The fallout from the Miami media appears unanimous: Last night's loss was the exception, not the rule. In fact, the Heat hype consensus is that they're still the team to beat …
Greg Cote, Miami Herald columnist:
The gleaming Maserati, so gorgeous in the showroom, so perfect to look at, hit the road for the first time Tuesday night, and the engine hiccupped a little, and the brakes squealed some.
The ride is going to be fine. Needs some tinkering and tuning, that's all.
If anything, Miami's 88-80 loss to the Boston Celtics verified the Heat's awesome potential more than cast the least bit of doubt on it.
See, the Heat is good enough to come this close being that bad.
Israel Gutierrez, Miami Herald columnist:
It's reasonable to call this the most difficult regular-season test the Heat will experience all season.
And, yet, with less than a minute left, after playing as miserable a duration of basketball as this team might ever play all season, the Heat trailed by just three points and oh-so-close to ripping out the hearts of Celtics fans on opening night.
With all that in mind, it might be time to translate Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez's quote from several weeks ago into the language of basketball: There's nothing wrong with going 81-1.
Dave Hyde, Florida Sun Sentinel columnist:
In their first quarter together, the Heat's Dream Team scored fewer points (nine) than in any Heat quarter last year. Where have you gone, Quentin Richardson?
That's why the Heat's loss to Boston 88-80 actually was worse news for the rest of the NBA. Go ahead and laugh a little more at that one, if you want.
But let me go further: This game was the very worst news the rest of the league could have received. There's really no other way to assemble what happened in this Heat opener in another context.
Similarly, after the game, LeBron James tweeted, "Rome wasn't built in a day! Work in progress. On to the next one." The funny thing is — as Rondo points out in the video accompanying this blog — this Celtics team literally built itself in Rome, during a trip to Italy during the 2007 preseason.
No, one game won't mean much in the standings come April, but last night's game was about more than just the one day. It was about preparation, unity, familiarity — Ubuntu.
After all, "The Decision" happened more than four months ago. What have the Heat been doing since July? Perhaps spending one too many days checking out the talents on South Beach.

|Fast Break: Celtics cool Heat hype
|10.26.10 at 10:21 pm ET
The Celtics held the Heat to nine first-quarter points, and Ray Allen nailed a clutch 3-point shot to snap a late 10-0 Miami run and push the Celtics' lead back to six in the final minute. Allen's shot from the corner ended any Heat visions of a comeback from a 19-point deficit, and allowed Boston to claim an 88-80 opening-night win.
1. Rondo to Shaq: Just four minutes into Tuesday night's game, Rajon Rondo drove, drew three defenders and lobbed the ball to Shaquille O'Neal, who threw it down with ease. It was more than just two points.
Obviously, Shaq takes up a ton of space around the basket, which means Rondo has a larger area to which he can toss the ball without fearing interference. That's could translate into a heckuva lot more assists for Rondo and a heckuva lot of easy buckets for Shaq this season.
In almost 12 first-half minutes, the Big Shamrock finished with six points but would have had 10 if not for a pair of missed bunnies.
The Rondo-to-Shaq combo also exposed the Heat's biggest weaknesses: the point guard and center spots. The two Celtics simply owned Heat starters Carlos Arroyo and Joel Anthony. Many critics had serious concerns about "The Others" in Miami, and, for now, those apprehensions appear legit.
2. Interior Defense: The Celtics held the Heat to 12 first-half points in the paint on just 6-of-16 shooting. What's more, the C's grabbed 21 first-half defensive rebounds, allowing only two second-chance points en route to a 45-30 lead at the half.
The Celtics' Big Three of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett held the Heat's Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to just 7-of-27 shooting in the first half.
Shaq and Rondo's dominance of Arroyo and Anthony extended beyond the offensive end. Not worried about their defensive assignments (Arroyo/Anthony combined for two first-half shots), the Celtics duo could sag off and help out on Miami's trio of stars.
3. Ray Allen: With all the talk about how Garnett looks as healthy as he's been since arriving in Boston and how Pierce showed up in terrific shape, it was easy to forget to mention Allen.
Maybe it's because Allen always looks as though he's in top shape, but the C's shooting guard looked like he was in midseason form on Tuesday, scoring 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting (including 5-of-8 from downtown). His final 3-pointer of the night came with 50 seconds remaining. It snapped a 10-point Heat run that had cut the lead to 83-80 in the waning minutes.
Allen also did a nice job keeping up with Wade on the defensive end, limiting the Heat guard to 13 points on 4-of-16 shooting.
1. Apparently, Standing in the Way of LeBron James: Twice — once in each half — Pierce appeared to draw a charge on LeBron, who was barreling down the lane, shoulder lowered, towards the basket. And twice referees called Pierce for the blocking foul.
On the second foul, Pierce came down hard on his lower back. He limped to the sideline as the Celtics called timeout, and then went to the locker room clutching his side behind trainer Ed Lacerte.
A report came down that Pierce was out of the game with back spasms — return unknown. But he did return, finishing the night with 19 points.
Celtics head coach Doc Rivers was none too happy with both blocking calls and let the refs know his frustration.
2. Lacking a Killers' Mentality: The Celtics led, 63-50, with two minutes remaining in the third quarter. The C's had their chances to end the game then and there, but instead saw their lead dwindle as they settled for jump shots. Meanwhile, the Heat closed the quarter on a 7-0 run (thanks to four points from LeBron), cutting the gap to a manageable 63-57 deficit heading into the fourth quarter.
Likewise, in the fourth quarter, the Celtics held an 83-70 advantage with four minutes remaining. A few ill-advised shots taken too early in the shot clock led to a 10-point Heat run over the next three minutes that would've been 13 if not for a missed wide-open 3-pointer by LeBron.
3. Perimeter Defense: While the Celtics' inability to get out on the wings defensively didn't hurt them in the first half, the Heat got plenty of wide-open looks. Eddie House and James Jones missed a string of 3-point attempts in the first quarter. But Celtics fans likely understood that House wasn't going to keep missing those.
In the second half, House and Jones — along with LeBron — finished 5-of-11 from beyond the arc.

Too Many Unanswered Questions
I have not read anything that has said what he was doing out at 4am in the morning in that area. Had he left home, was he going home? His wife hasn't said anything either that has been posted.
His car hit a fire hydrant prior to the tree. Is that what caused the engine/transmission and drive shaft to be torn from the car and end up 100' away? Photos of the car do not indicate the type of high speed damage usually associated with hitting a tree, or in this case a palm tree.
The eye witness said the car "jack knifed" before it crashed. Did Hastings try to put the car into a broadside spin because his throttle was stuck and had no brakes? Was he a victim of "Boston Brakes", where the ECU of the car is taken over and you are along for the ride?
Why would he be speeding and running red lights? Doesn't make sense to get a cop after you doing that. Had somebody shot at him and he was panic fleeing. Saw a post that said there were some bullet holes in the door, don't know if it is true or not.
Give the car to Mercedes to investigate. I am sure they would like to look at the physics of what tore the engine out and why the car immediately "blew up" and caught fire.
Lots of questions, but the police have already closed the case?

CMS Issues Final FY2015 Rule on Inpatient Hospital Payments
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Inpatient Prospective Payment System final rule for FY 2015 includes a 1.4% increase for operating payment rates.
Hospitals learned late Monday the precise rules for how they will be paid for care provided to Medicare beneficiaries in the fiscal year starting Oct. 1, including guidelines for three penalties for poor quality performers.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Inpatient Prospective Payment System final rule for FY 2015 includes a 1.4% increase for operating payment rates. This factors in a market basket update of 2.9%, offset by -.5% percentage point productivity adjustment and a -.2 percentage point decrease as specified by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and a -.8% decrease in accordance with the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
In a news release, however, CMS tempered that amount saying that the 1.4% increase combined with the hospital readmissions reduction program whose penalties rise to the maximum of 3%, changes to payments for disproportionate share hospitals, and the expiration of other temporary increases "will decrease IPPS operating payments by approximately .6%."
Other highlights of the 2,442-page rule include the following:
Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program
Hospitals that rank in the lowest performing quartile of certain adverse events will receive a 1% payment reduction. "These HACs are a group of reasonably-preventable conditions selected by CMS that patients did not have upon admission to a hospital, but which developed during their hospital stay."

There's a lot of criticism of Campbell Newman in this article. While I'm not saying it's not accurate, it does tend to read like he's a liar. "despite Newman promising that he would in April 2006." "ten years more than promised by Newman in the 2004 election." "This is more than twice the $2 tolls promised by Newman." "more than triple Newman's election estimates." "Newman has been criticised", etc. I don't think he's building it himself. I've removed one of the most POV claims, and fact tagged the 'has been criticised', since there's no mention of by whom.

Clem Jones Tunnel assessment rating[edit]
I have copied the following from my talk page, for any editors who whish to improve this article - Evad37 (talk) 15:43, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Could you explain what you think needs to be done to make Clem Jones Tunnel meet B:class criteria? - Shiftchange (talk) 22:43, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Shiftchange. I was assessing according to The B-class criteria for WikiProject Highways. My main concern is that that it is missing a route description section and an intersection list.
- The route description could be integrated into the "Design" section, and would basically describe where it starts, the route it follows, and where it finished, including distances to features, eg from start to the river, from the river to Shafston Avenue, and then to the Pacific Motorway. The distances can be taken from Google maps if there is no better source available, and cited using the {{Google maps}} template.
- An intersection/exit list is usually more than just a list, and should contain, for each entry, the location (ie suburb), the (wikilinked) name of road, and route designation if applicable, and destinations (such as what appears on the green background advance guide signs). Again it can be sourced to Google maps, although a published street map can also be used.
- The Causeway is an article I recently got to GA, and while it is a bridge, it has the same sections I describe above.
- I also have some suggestions if you want to take the article to WP:GAN:
- There are a couple of section 2 headings with only two sentences in them - they should be either be expanded or integrated into other sections.
- The lead should summarise the article, and its content should be reflected and expanded on in the body of the text. Half of the refs in the lead don't appear elsewhere in the article, and outside of the lead, the history starts off with the announcement of the successful tenderer.
- Every paragraph should end with a reference - most do, but there are a couple that don't.
- Refs 8, 9, 38, 39, 44 only have a linked title. They should at least have the publisher, and preferably also date and access date.
- Though not required for GA, a map would be nice. This can be done as an image uploaded to Commons and/or as an {{attached KML}} file. - Evad37 (talk) 03:45, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
