Harrison College
Harrison College prides itself on truly knowing our students — their lives and families, obstacles and motivations and their dreams and goals. We also know their potential — that's why for more than 100 years, our mission has been to provide a supportive environment, with the expectation that their success also benefits their families, friends and communities. That's the Harrison Difference.
Harrison College campuses are accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a national institutional accrediting body, to award associate degrees, bachelor's degrees and certificates. The award level varies by campus.
Dental assistants are quite often the unsung heroes in a dental office. They are the ones who handle the front desk, but you can also see them alongside the dentist, taking xrays, or in the laboratory. It's no wonder, then, that with the increasing demand for dental care due to population growth, dental assistants are also becoming more and more valuable players in the dental team. They prepare for procedures, maintain sterility of the equipment and the procedure space, and they also deal with emergencies. In addition, they handle the administrative side of things such as billing, scheduling, payment collection, insurance processing and patient chart maintenance. Dental assistants are expected to be able to multitask, have manual dexterity, think on their feet and possess a professional and friendly manner. If you think you have what it takes to maintain a well-oiled dental practice or clinic, and would like to gain and develop the skills needed to become part of a occupational field that is flourishing even in today's recession, dental assisting may be the right fit for you. Dental assisting is an occupation expected to expand even farther in the coming years, making for job security and many opportunities to get ahead.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Why is The Haunting of Molly Hartley rated PG-13?
Official MPAA Rating: The Haunting of Molly Hartley is rated PG-13 for for strong thematic material, violence and terror, brief strong language and some teen drinking.
Beyond the movie ratings: What parents need to know about The Haunting of Molly Hartley...
This teen-targeted horror film features plenty of violence, including stabbings and fights resulting in broken bones. In one instance a person is pushed from a landing, falls to the floor below and dies. A teen character attempts suicide by inserting a knife into her chest two times when she is convinced she has been possessed. Another character is assumed dead after an attempted murder by drowning. A violent car accident is depicted and a daughter and father are seen with bloody injuries, then the father moves to stab his daughter with a knife. Many "jump scenes" are included. A teenaged girl is shown in her bra. Teens kiss. A teen boy implies he wants to have sex with a teen girl. Moderate and mild profanities are used infrequently, along with one sexual expletive and terms of Christian deity. Teens are shown drinking alcohol at a party. Teen and adult characters involvement with satanic activities results in positive outcomes. Mental illness and its hereditary implications are discussed.

A world clock includes a map with markings arranged to indicate time zones for actual geographic locations and a single-row table having 24 columns for correlating the markings with hour markings on a belt. The belt is driven by a controller to move one column every hour, with stoppage of the belt below the next column being controlled by a light sensor arranged to sense blank spaces on the belt between the hour markings.
1. A world clock capable of synchronously displaying times in all world time zones, comprising:
a map having markings selected from the group consisting of markings, textures, and patterns, said markings being arranged to distinguish different time zones, said marking corresponding to an actual geographic arrangement of time zones on said map;
a reference indicator arranged as a table having one row and 24 regularly spaced columns, each column having one of said markings corresponding to one of said different time zones, whereby a position on the map may be correlated with a column in said table based on said markings;
a belt positioned adjacent said reference indicator, said belt having a set of 24 numbers on each side, the 24 numbers corresponding to 24 hours of day, such that one of said 24 numbers is positioned below each of said columns of said reference indicator;
a motor for driving said belt;
a controller arranged to cause said belt to move once every hour; and
a position sensor arranged to send a position signal to said controller to cause the controller to stop movement of the belt so that each number moves to an adjacent column of said table once every hour, and remains stationary between said movements.
2. A world clock as claimed in claim 1, wherein said belt is connected to said motor via a pulley and a speed reducing gear set.
3. A world clock as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a set of sub-time zone indicators to indicate positions of six sub-time zones relative to said table.
4. A world clock as claimed in claim 1, wherein said belt further includes at least three colors corresponding to divisions of a day.
5. A world clock as claimed in claim 4, wherein said belt includes four additional colors to indicate nighttime, morning, daytime, and dusk.
6. A world clock as claimed in claim 1, wherein said belt is transparent and said position sensor senses blank spaces between said numbers.
The inventor of this invention often travels around the world for international trade, and frequently troubled by time difference between countries or areas. At that time, the difficulties and complicate for finding the exact time are always discouraged people. Now for the better understanding, we make a comparison among the main exsisting types of world clocks.
I Circular display type such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,579,460 and 5,146,346, the primary design is to print the world map of North or South Pole projection with respecting to the right time and the right cities.
The drawbacks comprise:
1. Spherical projection is not as easy as cylindric projection;
2. People are not accustomed to the radical arrangement for the main cities, if compare the horizontal or vertical arrangement;
3. The cost is high for its complicate structure.
II Data-Bank type such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,448,532, whose main design is to built in a data bank of each respective regional time to the product for users to check by pushing button. Although this type is more compact and however, the operation process is repeated and complicate, and is not available f or displaying the exact time synchronously. In addition, the cities for reference are quite limited. Therefore, this type is not excellent, either.
III Type for reference between electronics and map such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,779,247, U.S. Pat. No. Des 312,788, and U.S. Pat. No. Des 312,971, whose design basically is a combination of data-bank and world concise map. Similarly, operations required, and unable to be displayed regional time synchronously, are the main drawbacks.
IV Globe type such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,477,193 and U.S. Pat. No. 5057024, both patents are related to the application of globe. The former one is joined with electronic clock of displaying regional time; the latter is combined with personal computer. Consequently, they are complicate and high cost. However, they also can not display the exact regional time synchronously.
V Digital type such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,918,251, this design concept is close to this invention. It move one box per hour carried by the closed belt and the machine power of digital clock, to display the hour of 24 regional time, and to show the minute by a 2-digital drum, and to set the minute display zero as the standard time for driving the belt. Because the said us patent does not provide drawings for reference, the detail invention is still unknown. However, since the belt is carried by the machine power of digital clock, and the extra load for carrying belt is not fully considered in original digital clock design, the punctual degree will be influenced, and results in stop moving lastly. During my research, I already found that even the driving of small belt also need a relative power and torque. This reveals that there are always certain difference between theory and practice.
From above discussion, we known that the existing world clocks are somewhat inconvenience for users. This is also the motive for me to create this invention.
The primary concept of the synchronous display world clock is to combine microprocessor, auto-control device and the color/grid texture display of all time zones together to create this new world clock.
In detail, the inventor utilizes the quartz oscilation element for timing. Each hour, the micro processor will produce a signal to start the DC micro-motor for rolling the close type mylor film belt which being printed with 00˜23 twice, to move one grid forward repesenting one hour. One side of the said belt has display windows (FIG. 1) showing the 24 world standard time zones, and the 6 sub-time zones by referring to the GMT time table which located above the display windows. Therefore, we can easily have all the 30 time zones without any action or operation. The LCD display of this invention indicates the user's home town local time, and displaying minutes also represent the time of the other 24 standard time zones. The minute time of 6 sub-time zones require to be subtracted or added 30 minutes according to next forward or backward standard time zones.
The color grid/texture map display system of all time zone is the innovation of this inventor by diligently studying the practical distribution of the world time zones. In general concept, people realize that the world time zones distributes in respect of the longitude of GMT. Every 15 degrees of longitude move eastward, the local time will be plused one hour namely "GMT+1 GMT+2 . . . ", and every 15 degrees of longitude move westward, the local time will be minused one hour namely "GMT−1, GMT−2 . . . ". However, quite a few countries don't follow the above rules for their administration political boundary or other particular considerations. Therefore, there will cause very high error percentage, if we obtain every time zones by the preceding method. That is why the inventor divide the world time zones grid following the practical time distribution, and express time zones by different color grid and texture (FIG. 1) to get the world time zones distribution very easy to read and to know.
The film belt is indicated either with 4 textures or with 4 colors such as orange, yellow, green and navy blue represents respectively as morning (05 AM˜08 AM), day time (09 AM˜16 PM), dusk (17 PM˜20 PM) and night time (21 PM˜04 AM). Traditionally, people use 2 colors such as white and black or red and blue region to distinguish day and night for the practical situation.
FIG. 1: Front view and perspective of the desk-top type of this invention.
FIG. 2: Left-side view and perspective of the desk-top type of this invention.
FIG. 3: Right-side view and perspestive of the desk-top type of this invention.
FIG. 4: Front view rendering of the wall hanging type of this invention.
FIG. 5: Enlargement perspective of the part of main structure of the wall hanging type, this invention.
FIG. 6: Circuit layout of this invention.
FIG. 7: System flow chart of this invention.
FIG. 8: System interrupt flow chart of this invention.
FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 are the brief drawings of the desk-top type and the wall hanging type of this invention, where in because the structures of the travel type and the wall insert type are similar to those of the former two types, we will not describe repeatly. However, the latter two types should be included to the claims, too.
Please refer to FIG. 1, it clearly disclosed that this desk-top type world clock of synchronous display 27 primarily comprise: a map frame 10 for supporting the world map 11 of all zone time grid/texture, 6 sub-zone time reference table 12, an index table 13 between GMT and all zone time color grid/texture map, a film belt 14 for displaying the time, an idle pulley 16 and a driven pulley 17 for supporting and fixing each ends of film belt 14, a speed decreasing gear set 18 and DC Motor 19.
This invention is printed with 00—23 twice (24�2=48) in 3 or more colors (FIG. 1) on a film belt 14, wherein 24 hours (48�0.5=24) face the display window, to seperately display the hour value of 24 standard zone time and 6 sub-zone time by referring the table 12, and the other 24 hours are hidden on the back of film belt 14.
Additionally, the film belt 14 owns 3 or more colors to match with the state of one day. In the embodiments, for instance, orange, yellow, green and navy blue seperately represents morning (05 AM-08 AM), day time (09 AM-16 PM), dusk(17 PM-20 PM) and night time (21 PM-04 AM). Moreover, it can use 3 or more different textures for division. In traditional way, 2 colors (such as white and black or red and blue) are usually used to divide day and night, and this is somewhat less practical and less scientific if compare to my invention, because the day time in 2 part division may be still in dark, and the night time may still see sun in the sky. Therefore, the quarter division of this invention is more easier to let user understand the related location between sun and each time zones. If refer to the latitude of the location, it is easy to know whether sunrise or sunset in the area.
Please refer to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the film belt 14 is fixed on the 2 ends of "C" type metal part, by rubber coated driven pulley 17 and idle pulley 16 having tension control design to ensure the required tension for belt's normal rotation and slide prevention. To observe from the display window, we find that the sequence of hours number on the film belt increases from west to east, and on the contrary, the film belt's forward direction is from east to west, which in consistent with the relative motion between sun and earth surface.
The film belt 14 rotates one grid per hour, which is carried by the rubber coated roller rotated with a forcing shaft, and the shaft is transferred power from a DC motor 19 which being decreased speed by gear set 18. The stop and locate function are reached by reading the blank on the film belt with a sensor switch. Since the film belt 14 is transparent, the blank part on it is transparent too. The sensor switch is a light-sensitive control mode. Therefore, the motor and the film belt 14 will be stopped simultaneously while the transparent blank (totally 48 blanks) of film belt rotates to the sensor switch 21 and thereby be transpierced by the sensitive light for starting the signal. Because the rotation speed of micromotor is not high originally, and will be diminished again by the speed decreasing gear set 18, the driving and stopping the film belt 14 has been tested to be very stable, and to be with very small inertia motion. Therefore, the hour indicator of film belt 14 and the scale of GMT will be line up accurately, and thus be easy for reading clearly.
The voltage adopted in this invention is DC 4.5V for considering the maximum and minimum voltage limit of microprocessor 22, auto-control circuit board, and micro DC motor 19. Since the voltage modular is highly electricity consumption, a common voltage 4.5V for all components will reduce the electricity caused by the voltage molduar.
The microprocessor 22 and auto-control circuit board require very small amount of electricity, and the micro DC motor 19 drives 2 seconds each time per hour (3600 sec), that is said, there will be a static state for 3588 sec. in every 3600 sec. Therefore, we can primarily estimate that each battery set can continuously operate for more than 200 days.
The reason for using DC battery instead of alternating current (AC) is based on the neat out look, mobility, and prevention of reset on losing AC occasionally. That is said, once we set up this world clock, it only need to be corrected after 200 days. During this 200 days, it will not require any operation, and can show you the time in any place in the world.
Please refer to FIG. 1, which is the map display system of all time zones color grid/texture of this invention. This world map of all time zones color grid/texture 11 is drawn in accordance with the practical distribution of world time zones, and uses the combined color grid textures of 8 colors (red, orange, yellow, yellow-green, blue, green, blue-purple, purple) or more than 4 colors to indicate the range of 24 standard time zones, and take the 3 cold grays and the 3 warm grays colors to be distinguished with the above colors used on the grids and textures to express the range of 6 sub-time zones 12. No 11, 12 and 13 are the time zones index Which is used for reference with index 14 to read all the 30 time zones of the world.
The microprocessor and auto-control circuit board 22 of this invention is mainly consisted of components in FIG. 6. For cost down and electricity saving, the motor driving set 107 is not wired with traditional relay, and no element which cause higher electricity consumption.
The liquid crystal display (LCD) 26 of this invention shows the home town local time, and the user can see the other area time through the map display system of all zone time color grid/texture.
There is no need for reseting or adjusting this world clock no matter how frequent or how many cities you stay. On the other way, you can know where you are by referring the color grid/texture map, if you know the exact local time.
The control circuit showed in the circuit layout of FIG. 6 is mainly consisted of microprocessor unit (MPU) and 8 function blocks. Following is the brief description of each components:
Setting for the disorder inside the MPU resulted from the abnormal operation environment (such as high voltage, current, magnetic interference)
Being consisted of 3 1.5V batteries to supply DC 4.5V to both MPU and driving motor simultaneously.
Being consisted of quartz oscillator and ceramic capacitor to produce stable and accurate pulse for MPU.
To provide the readout between MPU and user, and display the local time while it is not in operational state.
To provide the operation interface such as setting time and over drive action between MPU and user.
The close type mylor film belt with 2 sets of 00˜23 prints of synchronous display world clock, whose one step move forward indicater one hour passed, and its locating for stop function is reached by the location sensor of the light coupler which can detect the transparent blank on the film belt and feedback to MPU for grid movement and stop.
To use the enlarge signal character of transistor to change the motor start/stop signal produced from MPU into an appropriate voltage/current driving motor in order to replace of the traditional type which starting motor with relay, in order to save the consumption of electricity.
The power transmission device is increased torque through the connection of speed decreasing gear module, to rotate the film belt of time display smoothly.
The control part of this synchronous display world clock employs the low cost microprocessor with functions of low electricity consumption and watch dog timer, where in the flow chart of control programs is as FIG. 7.
The design concept of whole program is to make the internal timer of MPU can cause interrupt per second by the pulse production of external part, and checks #112, over drive switch, and #115, position sensor, while in interruption, because the interruption's subroutine is responsible for the motor stating, whereas the stop of motor rotation requires the signal judgement feed backed from position sensor.
DESCRIPTION of SYSTEM INTERRUPT SUBROUTINE (FIG.-8)
To set the main program to produce one timer's interrupt per second, and then enter the interrupted subroutine, and calculate the times of interruption. Every 60 times equal to one minute, and every 60 times of one minute indicate one hour passed. At this moment, the motor will be activated immediately to carry the film belt of time display to rotate. The stop of motor is taken by the main program.

Product complexity, quality of institutions and the pro-trade effect of immigrants
The paper assesses the trade-creating impact of foreign-born residents on the international imports and exports of the French regions where they are settled. The pro-trade effect of immigrants is investigated along two intertwined dimensions: the complexity of traded goods and the quality of institutions in partner countries. The trade-enhancing impact of immigrants is, on average, more salient when they come from a country with weak institutions. However, this positive impact is especially large on the imports of simple products. When we turn to complex goods, for which the information channel conveyed by immigrants is the most valuable, immigration enhances imports regardless of the quality of institutions in the partner country. Regarding exports, immigrants substitute for weak institutions on both simple and complex goods.

I understand this is the biggest thread but it's for the scavenger hunt. What you're posting is nothing to do with it. It's not just you, a lot of people do it. I know it's easy to go off-topic when there's not much happening but why not make a new thread in LP Chat or something? That way we can keep this thread focused for when people do want to come in and talk about the hunt.
I hope we don't get a potatoe. It would be really unfair. A potatoe with a ketchup bottle would be fairer.
Unfortunately, life is not easy and we aren't that lucky. Therefore, no ketchup bottle for us.
A toolbox with all the essential ingredients to make a nice potato stew. And then LP will purposefully leave out the recipe.

This trailer video has been making its way around the web over the past few days. The trailer is for a film that follows Magnus Walker, a man that is trying to collect every Porsche 911 from 1964 until 1973 (he currently is only missing one year and it isn't 1964). The man does not look like the stereotypical Porsche collector, but the video just shows that you can't judge a book by its cover and that Porsche enthusiasts come in many forms. If you haven't seen it, it is definitely worth a watch.
Special thanks to Brian for letting us know about this video.

"Addiction is what occurs when a reward is pursued despite adverse consequences," he says.
Hilton compares two men, one who sits at a blackjack table for hours waiting for a financial pay-off with a man who stares at a computer all day waiting for an orgasmic pay off. They're both pursuing a reward despite negative consequences but under the new DSM-5, only the gambler would have an addiction.
While Berridge at the University of Michigan hasn't specifically studied pornography, he's interested in the discussion.
"I think it's very plausible that for some individuals each of these things (drugs, porn, gambling) is addictive," Berridge says. "But the question will be, in how many individuals? It's almost certain that the labels will be over-applied to people who don't quite fit that, and that's the danger we run with any label."
Deem says he doesn't care how he's labeled, nor does he mind if people don't believe his story.
He's too busy mentoring his YMCA kids and arranging discussions at local schools to share how using pornography affected him.
And after 780 days of no porn and no masturbation, Deem says his mental clarity and powers of concentration are sharper than they've ever been and that his energy levels are sky high. He also says he's happier than he thought possible.
"I know the pain of recovery and finding out that I basically screwed myself up by watching porn my whole life," Deem says. "If (someone) had told me (about the biological consequences), yes, that would have definitely been a help to me, so that's what I'm trying to do."

The London campus, opened in 1971, is open to UK applicants with A Levels or IB through the International Gateway Programme.
The main campus is located in Tallahassee, the state capital of Florida which has a population of 266,000. The Tallahassee campus is over 450 acres and pedestrian friendly. Students can walk from one side of campus to the other in 15 minutes. The university is a 30 minute drive from the beaches on the Gulf Coast.
The university draws applications from academically able students from all over the world and while each application is considered on its individual merits, successful applicants' A Level points will likely lie within the region of 300 points.
Courses & Teaching
The International Gateway Programme is designed for UK students who would like to undertake their university career at a US university.

The Celtics' season ended with the crushing disappointment of a Game 7 loss in Miami, but the new one started with a letter. Every summer, Doc Rivers writes a long, detailed note to Danny Ainge about his team and what he thinks it needs. It should come as no surprise to anyone who watched the Celtics struggle to score points last season that the coach's biggest request was for an offensive playmaker.
"That was my No. 1 need," Rivers said. "I didn't think we had enough guys who could score off the dribble. [Rajon] Rondo can score off the dribble, but we needed a guy who can score and be a knockdown shooter at the same time."
Enter Jason Terry. The Celtics -- more specifically, Rivers -- were the first team to call the veteran scorer just after free agency opened for business. The 13-year vet is a former Sixth Man of the Year winner who thrived coming off the bench -- a crippling weakness last season -- and possessed championship experience with the Mavericks (and also, as he's quick to remind you, with the University of Arizona, where he won a national championship in 1997).
"My mission is to kill," the affable Terry said. "Whoever that is, whether it's the Heat, whether it's the Lakers. Hopefully both. That's my mission and that's what I'm here to do."
Ainge's mission this offseason was building a more versatile and dynamic team, one that could match up with the Heat and take some of the scoring load off Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. He also wanted to add players who could keep up with Rajon Rondo in the open court and play off his strengths.
He began with four players under guaranteed contract, a handful of draft picks and a tiny sliver of space under the new realities of a harder salary cap and luxury tax system. This is how he and Rivers, along with his front office that includes Mike Zarren, Austin Ainge and Ryan McDonough, rebuilt the Celtics.
If finding a scorer was the biggest need, bringing back Kevin Garnett was the whole point of the offseason. With Garnett back in place, Ainge could retool. If KG decided to walk away, then nothing short of a massive overhaul was in order.
When Garnett agreed to terms on the eve of free agency, it not only set the direction for this year, but also next season and possibly the season that follows. He agreed to a three-year deal that could be worth up to $36 million, a sizable cut from his previous contract. Additionally, only half of his $12 million salary in the final year of the contract is guaranteed, leaving both sides an out.
As Mark Deeks reported, Garnett also received a no-trade clause, making him one of only four players in the league (Dirk Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan) with that provision. In other words, Garnett is a Celtic and he'll likely remain one for the rest of his career.
The contract was important for another reason: flexibility. Brandon Bass quickly re-signed for three years and just over $19 million, a solid contract for a solid pro, but not a cap-buster. Chris Wilcox agreed to come back for the minimum and Jeff Green agreed to terms soon after, although the final details would take weeks to hammer out.
Green ultimately signed a four-year, $36 million contract with a player option for the fourth year. The merits of his deal have been debated ad nauseam, but at the very least the 26-year-old is a significant upgrade on the wing behind Pierce, a major concern in recent years. He'll have to be more than that to justify his contract, but there's something to be said for allowing Green to operate with a clean slate as he comes back from heart surgery.
Slowly but surely, the roster was taking shape within the rigid confines of the new hard-cap reality in the NBA. By committing the full mid-level exception to Terry, the Celtics were bound to stay under the luxury tax apron of $74.03 million in salaries, leaving them little room to maneuver as they turned their attention to finding a replacement for Ray Allen.
Shock and disappointment over Allen's decision to leave soon turned to grim resolve. Terry was never meant to replace the future Hall of Famer, he was supposed to augment the lineup. With Avery Bradley likely out for a significant amount of time to begin the season, the C's had to find a capable off-guard. Luckily, Rivers knew just the guy.
Courtney Lee is the kind of player who goes unnoticed by the average fan. He's a tough defensive guard who does most of his work offensively away from the ball. The rare role player who can stay on the court for 30 minutes a night, Lee excels at knocking down 3-pointers, especially from the corner.
That particular skill was one of Allen's strengths, and in the Celtics offense having a threat in the corner is critical for maintaining spacing. Rivers went to work on Lee with a meeting in Orlando the day after Allen picked the Heat, but in order to get him Ainge had to get creative.
Lacking the cap space to sign Lee outright, as well as an exception, the C's had to put together a sign-and-trade using their last remaining roster assets: JaJuan Johnson, the non-guaranteed contracts of E'Twaun Moore and Sean Williams, and the Bobcats' second-round pick, secured from the Thunder as added compensation from the Green trade.
This was almost literally everything the Celtics had to offer, but there still was one last piece that was needed to make it work in order to finish the deal. At the last minute, the Blazers agreed to take Sasha Pavlovic, setting up a five-player, three-team trade that more or less made the Celtics' offseason.
In Lee and Terry, Ainge was able to acquire two mid-level guards without touching the core of his roster or exceeding the tax apron. He also constructed a versatile backcourt that should thrive playing alongside Rondo.
"When [Bradley] comes back I don't know if anyone has a better guard core than us, but we're going to have to wait for that," Rivers said. "In the meantime we have three guys who can all play multiple positions. That's the way I would always want to coach, and I have an opportunity to do that."
Long before free agency, the Celtics began their offseason with a pair of low first-round draft picks. The hope was that they could draft at least one impact player and add another development piece. When Jared Sullinger fell to them, it made their night.
"When the day started, I did not think he would be there at 21," Ainge said at the time. "We're fortunate to get him."
Sullinger was there because of concerns about his back, but he quickly showed during summer league play that his potential outweighs the risk. He brings a low-post scoring dimension the Celtics simply haven't had in recent years and he also flashed the skill to develop into an all-around offensive threat.
Fab Melo offers a different package. A legit 7-footer who is still learning the game, Melo can bock shots and take charges, two skills that are very much in demand for big men. If he can develop beyond that, the Celtics will have a bargain at a premium position for the next 4-5 years.
Summer league typically is a time for rookies to get their feet wet and prospects to show their skills for European teams. Rarely do they make enough of an impression to get an actual chance to stick on an NBA roster, but that's exactly what Dionte Christmas and Jamar Smith did in Orlando and Las Vegas.
The Lee trade depleted the roster of young and inexpensive talent, but Christmas and Smith, along with second-round pick Kris Joseph, will enter camp competing for the last two roster spots. The only way the Celtics' plan was going to work was for younger players to fill out the roster. Now they have an intriguing set of options, albeit unproven ones.
"A team that is trying to win, it's tough to count too much on three rookies coming in," Ainge said on draft night. "Maybe one will be ready to go, maybe two of them will be able to play a certain role, we'll see."
Not all the developing will be done in Boston. Through a new initiative with the D-League, the Celtics assumed control of basketball operations with their affiliate in Maine. New rules will make it easier to send players up I-95 for a game and have them back in Waltham for practice the next day. The price in development is a small one if one or more prospects are able to blossom into NBA contributors.
Once the key players were locked into place, there still was one nagging question: What about the depth at the center position? The Celtics have committed to keeping Garnett in that role, but they still needed critical backup help to battle the like of Andrew Bynum and Roy Hibbert.
This was not a good year for big men in free agency, but Ainge and his team zeroed in on Jason Collins, a veteran banger in the post with limited offensive skills but a solid defensive presence. Still, the C's were dangerously thin, and memories of last season when important minutes were handled by a hobbled Greg Stiemsma and an overmatched Ryan Hollins were still fresh.
Along came Darko Milicic, of all people. A washout in Detroit, Orlando and Minnesota, Milicic was available after he was waived by the Wolves via the amnesty clause. Reports out of the Twin Cities indicated that removing him from the locker room was coach Rick Adelman's top priority, but one team's problem is another's solution. Milicic won't be asked to be a savior, a starter or even a key cog, and the Celtics are taking a long view on his potential contributions.
"What we want Darko to be is to come in and fit a role for us and not push all these expectations that he's had on him his whole career," Rivers said. "I think his first concern should be our team instead of trying to establish himself as the second-pick-in-the-draft thing. I think that probably hurt him over his career."
Added Ainge: "He has shown signs but he hasn't been consistent. Time will tell. There's a lot of competition at the big positions."
That, ultimately, has been what this offseason has been about for the Celtics: depth, versatility and competition. They addressed all three and became younger in the process -- as many as 10 of the players on the final roster will be 27 years or younger. In the end, Ainge signed, drafted or re-signed 13 players, and more than half the roster was turned over from Game 7 of the conference finals.
While Rondo, Pierce and Garnett are back as the core, the Celtics will have a different look without Allen. The reserves have been bolstered with talents such as Terry, Green and Sullinger, as well as 21 feet worth of backup centers. This is the team Rivers wanted, the one he feels can not only get back to the conference finals but take one more shot at hanging another banner.

Seats were last row of upper deck but still decent view. Acoustics were poor up there - couldn't really understand much over the PA system. One comment on the fans - get your food and drinks and get up to visit the bathroom or your friends during the timeouts, not in the middle of the action! Hello?

Picking up tickets from Will Call was easy. I brought a backpack which is not allowed in Oracle Arena. There's an office close by to check such bags and I had no wait. The seats were nose bleed but center court for great views.

The seats were great and the process went smoothly. I will definitely use Goldstar again. We recommended the website to people sitting near us. And....the Warriors played well and won the game.
Two of the league's highest-scoring teams collide as the Golden State Warriors host the Phoenix Suns. The Suns feature two former NBA MVPs in Shaquille O'Neal and Steve Nash, plus high-scoring power forward Amare Stoudamire.

Call for donation!
A very large oak tree fell on the house that is home to A Different Breed Animal Rescue,causing major damage. One third of the house needs to be torn down and rebuilt. The main room for small dogs and the room that is used for isolation have been destroyed. Laundry,storage and mud rooms –all destroyed. The roof has to be completely replaced.
We are in great need of funds to board the dogs that are being displaced,and to keep us going until we can resume business as usual.
We appreciate any contribution you can give us,and for your convenience we have included the link where you can donate any amount that you can spare.
Our fundraiser page is accessible through the following link. Thank you!
Watch the NBC-DFW news coverage:
Welcome to A Different Breed's website! We are a 501c3 animal rescue organization that primarily rescues dogs from the DFW area 'kill' shelters,along with taking in dogs from puppy mill raids and accepting breeder releases. We have a passion for rehabilitating the animals in our care,both physically and emotionally,and then finding them their perfect forever homes. Our rescue group cares for dogs in individual foster homes,as well as at our dog sanctuary.
*Sonia's story:
Sonia belonged to a couple that could no longer care for her and the dog had no place to go. She is obedience and house trained and when the apartment of her new owners was broken into,Sonia jumped the burglar and held him down with her paw on his throat until the police got there. The remarkable thing is that she did not leave a mark on the man's throat but held him at bay. On a separate incident,a man in the parking lot was about to hit a little boy that was not related to him,and she jumped in and kept the man from hitting the child. The man in question was escorted out of the premises by security. She now helps the manager of the apartment complex to sniff out drugs.
A Different Breed organization's role in the rescue of Spirit
Dinesha Schmidt and I went out on a call to help take some puppies from a man overrun with animals out Caddo Mills/Greenville area.
A concerned neighbor had made the request. The whole neighborhood of trailer homes were overrun with loose dogs and animals everywhere. We took in 7 outdoor dogs,Great Pyrenees/Shepherd/Aussie mix pups about 7 weeks old. We also took in 5 puppies he had indoors. They are a mix of spaniel/dachshund about 5 weeks old. He would not release the mothers,but promised he was going to get them spayed. Said he had over 100 puppies last year!
He also had a couple of horses,and one out front was tied to a tree and covered in blood. The dogs were licking it off her legs.
He said she had been spooked by something,and reared up and came down on a metal stake. It went thru her chest and out the side of her neck. We went and looked at that poor miserable horse,and she had a hole in her chest you could put your fist into!
It wasn't much better in her neck. She had no food or water within reach. The owner was a 73 year old disabled vet,with no money,no car,etc. etc. He said he called and vets wanted $300 just to come out there to look at the horse and he could not afford that. Said he called around but no one would help him. We asked if we could try,but if someone came to help,they would want the horse released to them,and he said he would let her go. He can't afford her anymore anyway. We took several pictures of the horse and her wounds and left.
By the time we got home it was already about 7:30 PM. We emailed our pictures,posted on Facebook,and started calling rescues in the morning. The first one we called was "Beckys Hope Horse Rescue"in Frisco. They were AMAZING! They were out there within 2 hours and by the time they got there the horse was down on her knees with her head on the grass in shock and dying. They immediately took her to the vet and got to work on her! Thankfully,she is going to pull thru,but she would not have made it thru the day. She is a beautiful 2 year old Arabian/Quarter horse filly. They named her "Spirit". I am thankful for all the animal lovers and rescues who work together to save ANY animal from suffering,but am very happy to add a HORSE to our list of saves for 2015!
