The Man Who Can Scare Stephen King
Wohleber, Curt, American Heritage
The American Master of horror fiction was as peculiar in his life as he was in his writing
Among the presents that came Howard Phillips Lovecraft's way during the Christmas season of 1936 was a skull from an Indian burial ground. The gift was appropriate for a lifelong connoisseur of the weird. It was also a portent: Less than three months after receiving it, Lovecraft died of cancer at the age of forty-six.
At the time of his death H. P. Lovecraft was virtually unknown outside the readership of a few pulp magazines such as Weird Tales and Astounding Stories. Today, more than a century after his birth and nearly sixty years since his untimely end, Lovecraft's stories enjoy an astonishing popularity. Much of his fiction remains in print in both hardcover and soft. His stories have been adapted for radio, movies, and television and have served as the subjects of academic theses and scholarly papers. Widely translated, his work has an enthusiastic following in Japan, and intellectuals in France and Spain consider him a neglected genius of American letters.
All his adult life Lovecraft liked to fancy himself an elderly eighteenth-century English gentleman in periwig and breeches. Yet he was the man who brought the currently thriving genre of supernatural fiction into the twentieth century. In stories such as "The Lurking Fear" and "The Colour Out of Space" Lovecraft abandoned the demons, ghosts, and vampires of his nineteenth-century predecessors in favor of modern horrors inspired by Darwinian evolution and Einsteinian physics.
"Now that time has given us some perspective on his work," says Stephen King, "I think it is beyond doubt that H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale." Around 1960 a young Stephen King came across an old paperback edition of Lovecraft's The Lurking Fear and Other Stories. It was a decisive moment for today's pre-eminent horror writer. "Lovecraft . . . opened the way for me," writes King, "as he had done for others before me. . . . it is his shadow, so long and gaunt, and his eyes, so dark and puritanical, which overlie almost all of the important horror fiction that has come since."
Lovecraft's horror, especially his later work, is more cerebral than visceral. The horror felt by his protagonists arises not out of the fear of death or pain or loss; it is simply the fear of knowing the unsuspected truth heretofore hiding just beneath the surface of things. "My fears, indeed, concerned the past rather than the future," says the narrator of "The Nameless City." "Not even the physical horror of my position in that cramped corridor of dead reptiles . . . could match the lethal dread I felt at the abysmal antiquity of the scene." Lovecraft's characters, like Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's terminal patients, respond to their situation in discrete stages during the course of the story: rationalization (or "denial"), suspicion, dread, discovery, and, often, madness.
Lovecraft's 1926 story "The Call of Cthulhu" begins: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. . . . The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
For Lovecraft, science had turned into a "deadly light" sometime in the nineteenth century. In his beloved 1700s science represented man's triumph over superstition. Natural laws and principles replaced spirits and magic. But embracing science meant surrendering man's exalted place in the universe, a process that had begun when the Copernican heresy wrenched our world from the center of creation. Further dislocations took place in the nineteenth century: Geologists announced that the world was millions of years old, and Darwin linked humans inextricably to the animals. …

DENVER - JANUARY 03: Quarterback Matt Cassel #7 of the Kansas City Chiefs prepares to take a snap against the Denver Broncos during NFL action at Invesco Field at Mile High on January 3, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. The Chiefs defeated the Broncos 44-24. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
In a surprising turn of events from week three, week four in the AFC West saw the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs trying to win two games in a row, while Denver and San Diego looked to bounce back from week three losses. This article looks at four things learned from this past weekend's two AFC West divisional matchups.Denver Does Have An Explosive Offense After beating the Pittsburgh Steelers by a score of 31-19, expectations were high for both Peyton Manning and the Denver offense. In weeks two and three Denver's offense failed to live up to those expectations turning the ball over six times and being outscored 58-46 and losing both games.In week four against the Oakland Raiders, Manning and the Broncos reminded fans of the NFL why Denver went out and spent so much money signing Manning. Denver's offense exploded against the Oakland Raiders, racking up 26 first downs, 503 total yards, converted 10 out of 16 third downs, while scoring 37 points.Manning finished the game with...

Five new eye-popping aerosols from PlastiKote may help reduce hazards around doors, railings, barriers and other safety-sensitive features of industrial and commercial settings.
The company has upgraded its Premium Fluorescent traffic and marking line with a formula tweak and packaging twist to offer better-performing aerosol paints for high-visibility safety applications.
With the company's proprietary "Twist and Spray" technology, the reformulated PlastiKote line features five aerosol paints for safety markings, warning signs and similar applications.
"PlastiKote Premium Fluorescent paints are ideal paint for any job that calls for intense and brilliant colors," said Katie Whiting, product manager, aerosols for Valspar. "With our new 'Twist and Spray' technology now available on these improved aerosols, these paints are even easier and quicker to apply."
'Instant Visibility'
Available in Stop Light Red (FL-6), Go Green (FL-7), Pink (FL-8), Caution Orange (FL-9) and Yellow (FL-10), PlastiKote Premium Fluorescent's bright, reflective colors "ensure instant visibility and are also quick and easy to use," the company said.
The PlastiKote Premium Fluorescent line offers a new can design and comes in five fluorescent colors for high-visibilityinterior and exterior applications.
They can be used on both interior and exterior surfaces on a wide range of materials.
The manufacturer says its "Twist and Spray" technology "features the twist and lock cap that makes the spray painting experience easier, faster and cleaner than ever before."
The new PlastiKote aerosol can features a large, comfortable finger pad that requires 33 percent less finger pressure to use than other spray paint cans, the company says, adding: "The patented spray top, an integral part of the can's design, shields the finger from paint and features a twist and lock design, so there is no separate top to remove or replace after use."
About PlastiKote
PlastiKote, a part of the Valspar Corporation, is a premium line of automotive aerosol paints and coatings established in 1923.

Now Honda wants to put utilities out of business? Its new home makes more energy than it uses
Quick Take: A prototype smart home recently opened by Honda in California may be yet another harbinger of difficult times ahead for utilities. As you will read, it makes more energy than it uses. You have to wonder how utilities will make a living when the day comes that they have to pay all of their customers for the power they are producing. - Jesse Berst
The newly opened Honda Smart Home U.S. (HSHus) is giving us a glimpse of a future where residential customers generate more power than they consume.
We've known for a while that, in theory, we would see a lot of synergy by connecting the smart grid to smart buildings and smart car chargers. HSHus will function as a living laboratory to test this intersection of housing (net zero), transportation (electric vehicles), and energy (rooftop solar).
A typical home uses roughly 13.3 MWh per year. HSHus will make 2.6 MWh more than it uses. This is possible through a combination of techniques that minimize energy use, including a passive solar design, adaptive LED lighting and geothermal heating and cooling. In addition, it features an enormous 9.5 kW solar array link to a 10 kWh battery. The Honda electric vehicle accepts DC power directly from the home solar panels, thereby saving the energy otherwise lost to heat during DC-to-AC conversion.
The home is three times more water efficient than a conventional home, and its HVAC system is five times more energy efficient.
At the center of everything is Honda's own home energy management system (HEMS), which manages not only the home's energy decisions but also the charging of a Honda EV and the connection to the smart grid for programs such as demand response.

Need to know: CFA hazing 70 interview questionsMBA value for money
It's not just the slowing mining boom that's worrying Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Cyber crime is another drain on the wealth of Australians, latest research shows.
Australia lost a total of 1.65 billion Australian dollars (US$1.68 billion) — more than the government's projected budget surplus — to cyber crime over the past year, with around a quarter of the population targeted by internet crooks, according to the Norton Cyber Crime Report.
Compared with the total global direct cost of cyber crime set at US$110 billion, that's a fairly insignificant number. But per person, Australians lost an average of A$306 each, 60% higher than the US197 global average, the survey of 13,000 adults across 24 countries found.
The woes for BlackBerry maker, Research In Motion, are now spreading down under with Australia's flag carrier Qantas Airways the latest to drop the company's once dominant handset in favor of Apple's iPhone.
Qantas will replace 1300 Blackberries with iPhones, with the company saying the iPhone offered a user-friendly interface and simple access to emails, contacts and calendars and met all of Qantas' security requirements.
"There has been strong demand from Qantas employees for the iPhone, with a large majority of respondents to a recent survey indicating that this is their preferred smart phone option," a Qantas spokesman said in a statement.

Album Rating: 4.0Sweet, just remember your list but never got chance to comment :/
Album Rating: 5.0it's cool lol
Album Rating: 4.0A hipster is somebody who shits themselves thinking they're authentic and won't accept they're actually inauthentic, just like
the rest of us plebs. My music taste is inauthentic, everybody's music taste is inauthentic and just because you say
"HIPSTERS DON'T EXIST DON'T CALL ME THAT!" doesn't make it so. They exist because some people can't accept
that music is a part of our identity we create and will therefore always be 'inauthentic'. They don't get what's so ironic
about their own search for 'authentic' singular minded identity that they fall flat on their face writing shit like that blog post to
try and pretend they really are authentic.
Digging: Vince Staples - Summertime '06
Album Rating: 4.0This is for hipsters in that it's so niche, weird and 'fun' that you'll be seen as so authentic for liking something eternally unlistenable and that us plebs would never understand.
Album Rating: 4.0That's not to say that you are a hipster or that I don't believe you actually like this album (although I am in disbelief people derive any pleasure from the listening experience when it comes to AnCo), just don't give me this bs "hipsters don't exist man YOU'RE THE HIPSTER IM AUTHENTIC DON'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME!", it's a metric-tonne of shite
Album Rating: 5.0AnCo is pure ear candy for me, it just sounds amazing. I don't give two shits who else listens to it, or how relevant or revolutionary it is...
in a vacuum, this really does it for me
Album Rating: 4.0This is a record ruined by it's context for me, but I'm glad to see people enjoy this without the pretentious contextual overtones
Album Rating: 5.0did u seriously just claim that your music taste is inauthentic and then make a claim like "anyone who likes this thing that i dont like is obviously just faking for attention to look cool"
i dont even know what youre talking about with all this "well they think theyre authentic but theyre not" stuff how is that relevant im saying that so many people throw the term "HIPSTUHR!!!@" on literally anything that they don't like that the terms become meaningless. it doesn't imply a certain sound or style or type of person it just means "i dont like this thing/person so im going to call them a name"
Album Rating: 5.0when did this sites userbase get so bad oh my god i want skeames back
Album Rating: 3.5The older you get compared to the average age of the userbase which is constant.
Album Rating: 5.0i want you to take a step back for a second and appreciate the fact that you're actually labeling things as pretentious when a few minutes earlier you LITERALLY SAID "i don't like this thing so that means if you like it you just want to seem cool and edgy!!! no one can like things i like its not possible!!!" oh my god im leaving
Album Rating: 4.0It implies a certain attitude, an attitude where you like something that nobody else likes to appear 'cool' and 'authentic' even though you formulate your own identity and therefore are inauthentic. There's nothing wrong with it, everyone does it. Just don't say you're more authentic and try and say you're also not a hipster
Album Rating: 4.0I don't even know why I'm arguing this i don't care and I'm pretty much wrong
Album Rating: 4.5hipster is completely meaningless
is it someone who legitimately likes certain "hipster things" (high-waisted shorts pbr vinyl anco)? or someone who pretends to like those things to give them a certain image? or both? or wat
i mean on the one hand you should do/wear whatever you want but on the other hand that guy on campus who wears the "one round frame, one square frame" glasses and purple pants is just trying to stick out right
Album Rating: 5.0my appreciation/most peoples appreciation for this has nothing to do with that. im sure theres a few tools out there that saw pitchfork gave it a good rating and pretend to like it to seem cool but i can guarantee you 90% of the fans of this just heard it and thought "yeah this is good". i dont give a shit what mu thinks of it. i dont give a shit what pitchfork thinks of it. i dont give a shit what you or a thousand other people think of it. literally every single other person on the planet could hate this, and if i heard it i'd most likely still listen to it cause i enjoy the music. how is this so hard to grasp.
literally the only reason i like/listen to this is because when i hear the music i enjoy it. thats it. thats probably the case for most people that like it. if you seriously think that because in your subjective opinion its the worst thing to ever touch the planet that its literally impossible for anyone else to like it without being fake about it in some way i want you to take a step back and consider what youre saying
Album Rating: 3.5Back when it came out I had never heard of AC. Simply saw it getting buzz on this site, checked it out and thought hey this sounds good.
Album Rating: 4.0I don't even know what I'm arguing because you're all pretty much right. I just don't think that it's correct to say hipsters don't exist, because there are people out there who will try and buy a sense of independence and buy into a certain style of obscurity. Of course, there are people who genuinely enjoy vinyl/cassette, growing beards and skinny jeans who end up tainted by the people who are just in it because of the image.
With the 'inauthentic' thing I was referring to Baudrillard and simulacra and the sense that what we all enjoy is just simulations of what others enjoy

The making of coffee is the day's opening ritual for many families in south India. In my grandmother's home, Arabica and Peaberry beans were first roasted separately. Then they were mixed and a small daily portion freshly ground using a hand grinder. The grounds would be placed into the upper filter portion of a stainless steel container and this upper portion would be fitted into a lower catchment portion. Boiling water would be poured into the upper half and the whole container would be set aside to wait for the strong concentrate to slowly filter down. Read More »

Sinclair Lewis sits at a mirror backstage while man applies makeup to him, before his stab at acting role in dramatized version of his novel IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, in Cohasset, Massachusetts, January 1938.
Eric Schaal/Pix Inc./Time Life Pictures/Getty Images
Sinclair Lewis, (1885-1951), gained international fame for his novels attacking the weaknesses he saw in American society. In 1930, Lewis became the first American author to win the Nobel Prize for literature.
Harry Sinclair Lewis was born on Feb. 7, 1885, in Sauk Centre, Minnesota. At the age of 21, he lived briefly at Helicon Hall, a socialist community in New Jersey founded by writer Upton Sinclair. Lewis graduated from Yale University in 1908. In 1914, while working as a newspaperman, he published his first novel, OUR MR. WRENN. The book is a gently satiric account of a meek New York clerk traveling in Europe.
Lewis wrote four more novels and achieved only modest success. But
(1920) caused a sensation and brought him immediate fame. The book is a withering satire on the dullness and lack of culture that exist in a "typical" American small town, and the narrow-mindedness and self-satisfaction of its inhabitants. Written in minute detail, MAIN STREET chronicles the fruitless efforts of the heroine Carol Kennicott to awaken and improve her town. Lewis based the novel on Sauk Centre, renaming it "Gopher Prairie."
BABBITT (1922) focuses even more effectively Lewis' idea of a "typical" small city businessman, George F. Babbitt. The novel describes the futile attempt of its central character to break loose from the confining life of a "solid American citizen"a middle-class, middle-aged realtor, civic booster, and club joiner. Possibly no two works of literature did more to make Americans aware of the limitations of their national life and culture than did MAIN STREET and BABBITT.
With a sharp, satiric eye and a superb gift for mimicry, Lewis continued to examine other aspects of what he considered national inadequacy. ARROWSMITH (1925) describes the frustrations of an idealistic young doctor in conflict with corruption, jealousy, meanness, and prejudice. The novel won the 1926 Pulitzer Prize, which Lewis declined because he felt that it was not awarded for literary merit but for the best presentation of "wholesome" American life. ELMER GANTRY (1927) satirizes religious hypocrisy and bigotry in the Midwest.
In 1928, Lewis married Dorothy Thompson (1894-1961), who was a famous foreign correspondent and newspaper columnist. They divorced in 1942.
DODSWORTH (1929) was perhaps the last of Lewis' best works. The novel contrasts American with European life while relating the marriage difficulties of a prosperous American businessman on a European tour.
Lewis' later novels were primarily shallow photographic realism. Critics now consider Lewis less a truly creative artist than an extraordinarily accomplished observer with a vivid reportorial style. Lewis died lonely and unhappy in Italy on Jan. 10, 1951.

I enjoy traveling all over the world both at work and on vacation. This year I have had wanderlust and have been traveling nonstop while I'm not working, so it's been exciting. I was raised in Oregon, but I've lived in NYC, Houston, and Southern California. I used to be a marine biologist and I love the marine world. I changed my career and now I'm a mate on a boat in Hawaii. Looking forward to becoming captain in the coming years. I enjoy hiking, exploring, adventures of all sorts, hanging out with friends, running, working out, music, art, sports, Scuba diving, movies, dancing, and I really love the ocean. I love animals and I always will. My life is just not complete with at least one little furry friend. I'm easy-going, friendly, dedicated, ambitious, intelligent, caring, educated, respectful, and fun. I'm a scientist at heart. I love my family and friends and they are very important in my life. I like to laugh and make others laugh and I can be goofy at times. I'm looking for an intelligent, adventurous, fun, and ambitious woman that I can share my life with. I'm not looking to get married, settle down, and have kids right away, but these goals are certainly on the horizon.

Like sands through the hourglass, these are the Doc days of our lives. ¬†So the roller coaster ride continues for Doc, the fans and the rest of the NBA world. ¬†While Gary Tanguay went on his 'ÄúUno Sports Tonight'ÄĚ show on CSNNE and called Doc a 'Äúdiva'ÄĚ and said he was holding the team hostage, Steve Bulpett on the Boston Herald did a little bit more dirty work and delivered some of the better updates as of late: While the Doc Rivers situation has appeared to remain consistent in its uncertainty on the surface, there have been changes in his outlook regarding the options he will consider. Whereas Rivers had said he would coach only the Celtics next season, choosing between another year on the bench or a sabbatical, sources say he is now open to other jobs in the NBA, providing it'Äôs a very good situation and the team and the Celts can agree on fair compensation. In any case, those close to the matter are saying Rivers should be stating his intentions within the next several days. He had r...

Mine have teething symptoms off and on for a few weeks before the teeth make an appearance sometimes. Mine actually got their first teeth about 4 months. Makes sense to see some phases of drooling and chewing and fussing start up now.
Thanks JamieCatheryn. It definitely looks like there might be some little tooth buds starting to poke through in a couple of places. Hard to be sure, as I never examined his gums super closely before this. From what I've gathered, teething this early is not all that rare. For the most part, he seems to be handling it OK. Still slept well last night, not too fussy this morning (although slightly more than normal). Definitely not preventing him from eating! I just hope he gets through it OK. I hate to see him in pain.
My daughter had teething symptoms around 3 months and we were positive she was teething. Her first tooth didn't pop until around 9 months. Someone told me that they start teething much earlier than the teeth pop through as the teeth move up through the jaw. So they can be fussy and drooly for no apparent reason. While it's possible he's teething, I wouldn't be surprised either if he ends up popping teeth later. I hope he feels better either way.

5-foot-10, wearing all black clothing and a red bandana, which that covered his face. The bandana was recovered.
Anyone with any information about this case can call the Ocala Police Department at 369-7000, the Sheriff's Office at 732-9111, Crime Line at 369-7061, Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or log on to ocalacrimestoppers.com.
A sheriff's deputy later found a person who may have matched the general description of the gunman, in the 1600 block of N.E. 30 Street.
The man admitted he did not live in the area, then refused to answer any more questions. He was released.
A store clerk from the same Diamond Oil at 1952 N.E. 35th St. was robbed in April. That man took deposit money from the clerk's vehicle.
That man has since been arrested, and is accused of robbing another convenience store.

National Judicial Academy India Knowledge for Justice
P.N. Bhagwati, J. in S.P. Gupta Vs. President of India and Ors. AIR1982SC149
The principle of independence of the judiciary is not an abstract conception but it is a living faith which must
derive its inspiration from the constitutional charter and its nourishment and sustenance from the constitutional values.
It is necessary for every Judge to remember constantly and continually that our Constitution is not a non-aligned rational charter.
It is a document of social revolution which casts an obligation on every instrumentality including the judiciary, which is a separate
but equal branch of the State, to transform the status quo ante into a new human order in which justice, social, economic and political
will inform all institutions of national life and there will be equality of status and opportunity for all. The judiciary has therefore a
socio-economic destination and a creative function. It has to use the words of Glanville Austin, to become an arm of the socio-economic
revolution and perform an active role calculated to bring social justice within the reach of the common man. It cannot remain
content to act merely as an umpire but it must be functionally involved in the goal of socio-economic justice.
S.B. Sinha, J. in Santosh Kumar SatishbhushanBariyar Vs. State of MaharashtraANDState of Maharashtra Vs. SanjeevkumarMahendraprasad Roy and Anr. JT2009(7)SC248
For an effective compliance of sentencing procedure under Section 354(3) and Section 235(2) Cr.P.C, sufficient discretion is a pre-condition. Strict channeling of discretion would
also go against the founding principles of sentencing as it will prevent the sentencing court to identify and weigh various factors relating to the crime
and the criminal such as culpability, impact on the society, gravity of offence, motive behind the crime etc
The constitutional role of the judiciary also mandates taking a perspective on individual rights at a higher pedestal than majoritarian aspirations.
To that extent we play a countermajoritarian role

The apparatuses of activist Justice, working under such societal strains and stresses and charged with engineering progressive
change through the law, may have to enjoy more than traditional functional freedom. For, in a dynamic democracy, with goals of
transformation set up by the Constitution, the Judge, committed to uphold the founding faiths and fighting creeds of the nation
so set forth, has to act heedless of executive hubris, socio-economic pressures and die-hard obscurantism. This occupational
heroism, professionally essential, demands the inviolable independence woven around the judiciary by our Constitution. Perfection
baffles even the framers of a Constitution, but while on statutory construction of an organic document regulating and coordinating
the relations among instrumentalities, the highest Court must remember that law, including the supremalex, is a principled, pragmatic, holistic
recipe for the behavioral needs and norms of life in the raw-of individuals, instrumentalities and the play of power and freedom.

Powe out two weeks
|03.18.09 at 6:17 pm ET
Leon Powe will miss the next two weeks with a sprained right knee, according a statement issued by the team. He suffered the injury on Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls.
Skinner: It's not a track meet, it's basketball
|03.18.09 at 11:12 am ET
As they wing their way westward toward Minneapolis and a Friday night date with USC, the Boston College Eagles will be thinking about their first round opponent and how to go about beating them.
Those with concerns about BC's chances point to the fact that Southern Cal is on a hot streak, winning the Pac-10 tournament just to get a ticket to the dance.
They also point out that USC is an athletic team that loves to get up and down the court and DeMar DeRozan will be a handful for the Eagles.
But BC coach Al Skinner isn't looking at it that way.
"I'm not overly concerned about athleticism because when I last checked it's not a track meet, it's still a game of basketball," Skinner said. "It's about skills, you've got to be able to put the ball in the basket, dribble, pass. So, we concentrate on those areas. Athleticism can help but it's still a game of skill.
"They like to get a little bit in transition. They have a lot of quick hitters. They have some individuals that are physically talented. We're going to have to deal with that. They really like to attack the basket. They're pretty athletic. They get around the rim and they do some good things."
DeRozan, who scored 25 in the Pac-10 title game, is a quick hitter, as are Taj Gibson and Daniel Hackett. The Trojans feature a three-guard set under coach Tim Floyd, which points to Skinner's belief that they will try to out-manuever the Eagles, who will try to run the flex offense.
This Trojans team erased a 15-point halftime deficit in the Pac-10 championship against Arizona State and won, 66-63. In other words, BC must bring it all game long and not let up.
"You just see what a little urgency does for a team," Eagles point man Tyrese Rice said. "They realized they had to win a tournament to get into the NCAA Tournament and they went out and made it happen. We're going to have to be aware of how hard they're playing right now."
Then there's someone like Tyler Roche. He is a junior now, two years removed from advancing to the second round in 2007, when BC lost to Georgetown.
"It's a big excitement," Roche said. "I haven't been to the NCAA Tournament since my freshman year and I'm just really excited to be back this year, and hopefully we'll make some noise."
Luck of the Irish runs out
|03.17.09 at 11:29 pm ET
The Luck of the Irish had been on the Boston Celtics side on St. Patrick's Day. On Tuesday night, it ran out in Chicago (RECAP HERE). In spite of this loss, the Celtics have enjoyed success on March 17 over the last 10 years:
2009: Chicago Bulls 127, Boston Celtics 121
Already undermanned, the Celtics lost Leon Powe (knee) in the first half. Paul Pierce tried to keep the Celtics alive with 37 points and seven rebounds, while Rajon Rondo posted 26 points, 10 assists, and five rebounds. The Celtics, however, could not overcome injuries and foul trouble. They fell 4.5 games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for first place in the Eastern Conference.
Look ahead: The Celtics will take on the Miami Heat on Wednesday night in Boston.
2008: Boston Celtics 93, San Antonio Spurs 91
The Celtics overcame a 22-point deficit to top the Spurs and jumpstart their sweep of the Texas Triangle. Sam Cassell stepped up his game in place of Ray Allen (ankle) to contribute 17 points off the bench. Despite a scoreless evening from Kendrick Perkins, the Celtics starters outscored the Spurs starting five 67-39.
Flashback: A day later, the Celtics snapped the Houston Rockets 22-game winning streak.
2007: Boston Celtics 91, San Antonio Spurs 85
In the midst of a dismal season, the Celtics won in San Antonio for the first time in 17 years. And this wasn't the Big Three version of the Celtics. Paul Pierce (30 points) got help from Delonte West (23 points) and Al Jefferson (20 points) while Rajon Rondo added 14 rebounds. It was just the Celtics 20th win of the season.
Flashback: The Celtics had not won in San Antonio since February 14, 1990.
2006: Orlando Magic 84, Boston Celtics 77
The Celtics blew a fourth quarter lead and gave up 18 points and 13 rebounds to a then-20-year-old Dwight Howard. The Cs went cold in the final 12 minutes, shooting 3-for-23, and no one on the team made more than five field goals. They also had six shots blocked by Darko Milicic.
Flashback: Raef LaFrentz was the Celtics starting center.
2004: Boston Celtics 104, Denver Nuggets 100
Paul Pierce, Chucky Atkins, and Mark Blount combined for 68 points, 27 rebounds, and 16 assists while Walter McCarty added 17 points off the bench. Then-rookie Carmelo Anthony posted 20 points, nine rebounds, and six assists in his Boston debut. But the Celtics got hot from long-range (10-16 3PG) and a jumper from Pierce iced the win with less than 30 seconds to go.
Flashback: John Carroll was the interim head coach.
2000: Boston Celtics 114, Atlanta Hawks 90
Antoine Walker scored 30 points to lead the Celtics to a 24-point victory. Paul Pierce and Vitaly Potapenko scored 16 points apiece. Pierce picked five steals from Dikembe Mutombo and the Hawks.
Flashback: Less than 12,000 people attended this game in Atlanta.
1999: Boston Celtics 118, Los Angeles Clippers 84
The Celtics outshot the Clippers 57% to 37% from the field in their commanding win. Kenny Anderson led the Celtics with 21 points. Then-rookie Paul Pierce scored 12. The Celtics outrebonded the Clippers by 19 boards.
Flashback: Future Celtic Michael Olowokandi posted 17 points and eight rebounds for the Clippers.
BC hoops: A reason to believe
|03.17.09 at 11:40 am ET
Al Skinner simply wants one thing out of his practices before his Boston College team takes on Southern California on Friday night in Minneapolis.
"I think we're in a good place but I think," Skinner said, acknowledging there's still some reservation. "Whether I really feel that, We'll find out in practice. I'm looking forward to it and I think they're looking forward to it. I'm just curious as to what the results are going to be. I've been pleasantly surprised. They've responded."
Responded and how. The Eagles are 22-11, a No. 7 seed in the Midwest after entering this season picked for next to last in the ACC, and facing USC on Friday night in Minneapolis. However, the Eagles didn't get to this point without learning a lot about themselves.
While there was some genuine disappointment in losing to an inferior St. Louis team, 53-50, back in November, the B.C. Eagles first really learned how to respond when they dropped an unconscionable 82-70 decision to Harvard at Conte Forum three days after beating No. 1 ranked and unbeaten North Carolina on their home court.
"We've had a lot of ups and downs with big wins and dropping (games) to the Harvards of the world," Rakim Sanders said. "But it's been a good year. And the experience we've had, beating Carolina, knowing we can play with anybody. Having that confidence in our heads has been good for us."
But confidence can be a funny thing. Just ask their head coach.
"I should have a little more confidence in them but I also know the history," Skinner said. "I thought we were prepared for the ACC Tournament. Mentally, I thought guys did what I wanted, I thought they were ready to play. I really should, they've probably earned that but I'm not quite there yet."
If Sanders' shot goes through the basket on Friday instead of ringing off the iron, you could certainly make the point that it would be the Eagles who would have been dancing around the Georgia Dome floor with nets around their necks on Sunday.
"We lost to Duke by a point," Skinner said of the loss in the ACC quarterfinals. "What they (Duke) did in the championship game is just an indication of where we are because we obviously had a chance to win that game. I'm pleased but not satisfied and so we're going to continue to work hopefully till I get satisfied."
Helping the team in its goal of satisfying the coach and themselves is Tyrese Rice. The senior point guard, who scored 34 points in a half against North Carolina in Feb. '08, has matured into a leader of men. The kind of leader you need come tournament time.
"I'm expecting a lot," Rice said. "I'm expecting everyone to step up and do what they've been doing all year, and a little bit more. I feel like I can step my game up a little bit more, I feel like there are some other people on the team who could step their game up some more and I feel like they feel the same way."
Skinner said on Monday he can already sense other players responding to Rice and picking up their game.
"We've continued to improve and that's the most important thing, especially for a young team," Skinner said. "A lot of times, a team hits a plateau and we have not done that. We're edging upward and obviously I'm very pleased with that."
Rice has had a first-hand view of the growth on and off the court.
"Everybody's playing with a lot of confidence," Rice said. "You see when guys come into a game, they're coming in to make a difference. We saw Biko Paris come in and probably have the best game of his career against Duke. He came in and was ready. A guy that didn't play a lot or probably as much as he thinks he should have and comes in and gives us 15 big points.
"Everybody has a certain swagger to them, a certain confidence," he added. "We're just trying to bring it all together."
Game Preview: Are the Bulls ready?
|03.16.09 at 11:59 pm ET
At this point in the season, every game is critical for the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls. A win on Tuesday in Chicago would inch the Celtics closer to first place in the Eastern Conference. A victory for the Bulls could put them back in the eighth seed. Both teams are hungry for the postseason. The question is, would be Bulls be ready if they made it to the playoffs?
'Right now, no,' said Kirk Hinrich. 'We've definitely had our moments, but we need to play much more consistently and bring it every night. At times we've taken nights off and it's kind of hurt us, so we have to make everything count from here on out.'
The Bulls (30-37) lost their footing in the East when the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Celtics (50-17) on Sunday to reclaim possession of the final spot. After getting blown out by the Orlando Magic last week, the Bulls must face both the Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers in the next five days.
'[We have to] play defense and be aggressive throughout the whole game,' said Derrick Rose. '[Those teams are] real consistent in everything they do ' defense and offense. We've just got to stay a little more consistent and play hard.'
The Celtics have beat the Bulls by an average of 17 points in their first two meetings of the season. In their first game, the Celtics held the Bulls to less than 30% from the field. In their second game, Rajon Rondo dished 15 of the Celtics' 40 assists. Both games were lessons for the Bulls to learn from.
'I think every night we have to come in with a certain urgency,' said Hinrich. 'Consistently, we just need to start playing better basketball for longer stretches of time and we have to hang on. It's going to be a tight race. People are jockeying for position and we definitely want to be in there.'
An eighth seed in the playoffs would mean a match up with a team like the Celtics, Cavaliers, or Magic, who are currently vying for the top spot in the East. Veteran point guard Lindsey Hunter faced the Celtics in last season's Eastern Conference Finals as a member of the Detroit Pistons. He understands firsthand the level of competition the Bulls would be up against.
'I think the first thing that stands out with Boston and with Cleveland is clear cut ' their identity is defense,' he said. 'They totally take away what you like to do and they make you go to your second, third option. And teams that can do that on a consistent basis are teams that are tough, because that's tough to do.
'You have to really be on the same page and really be to the point where guys trust each other no matter what. And when I watch those guys play, I see it. Defensively, I see the rotations that guys aren't second guessing. And if there is a missed rotation, then guys are talking to each other and communicating. And I've been on teams like that so I know what that's like, and it takes a lot of growth to get there. It takes a lot of growth. And with a young team like ours, I definitely think we can. It just takes some time.'
The Bulls admit they will have work to do if they advance to the playoffs — 'We've still got some kinks,' said Rose. But with 15 games left to go in the regular season, they are staying optimistic about clinching a postseason berth.
'Our goal is getting the playoffs,' Hinrich said. 'I don't think anyone is thinking about next year right now. We're focused on the task at hand and just trying to get into the playoffs and see what happens.'
Trags Take… A method to the madness
|03.16.09 at 2:02 pm ET
It is a scientific fact.
The middle of March has become the least productive time of year in corporate America. Even in these times of economic volatility and stress where's there's more pressure to produce, you can almost bet that every office has a pool of predictions as to who is going to advance in the NCAA Men's Division I basketball championship.
And you can bet people are emailing, facebooking, texting and generally trash-talking each other's teams, star players and of course, picks.
I might as well get in on the act. So here goes.
Five teams I love in this tournament:
1. Louisville. Rick Pitino knows what this time of year is about. His team was a machine at the Big East Tournament. They won 19 of 21 games this year in the best basketball conference in the country. Any questions?
2. Memphis. Yes they play in the Memphis Athletic Conference, also known as Conference USA, where they have won an amazing 61 straight games. Only Kentucky's string of 64 versus SEC teams between 1945-50 is better. And they are on a 25-game winning streak. They ARE athletic enough to knock of No. 1 UConn in the West, if of course, they hit those pesky free throws.
3. North Carolina. Assuming Ty Lawson's toe isn't an issue, there's ZERO reason to think he and Tyler Hansbrough won't lead the Heels back to the Final Four in Detroit.
4. Villanova. These Wildcats are eight deep and it's a quality eight. That is vital at tournament time because if one or two stars are off, someone needs to pick up the slack. As long as Scottie Reynolds doesn't go 1-on-5 too often, they should advance to Boston.
5. Xavier. This team lost Josh Duncan, Drew Lavender and Stanley Burrell and everyone figured a step back was in order. All they did was reload with C.J. Anderson, B.J. Raymond and Derrick Brown. One of the most athletic teams in the tournament.
Five teams I wouldn't bank on heading to the Motor City:
1. Syracuse. Great story. Seven overtimes. Two Big East Tourney wins, including a victory in arguably the most epic (certainly not greatest) college basketball game of all time. What does that get you? A No. 3 seed in the same South bracket as Oklahoma, North Carolina and Gonzaga and 15 sets of tired legs. Don't be shocked if No. 14 Stephen F. Austin pulls the upset.
2. Wake Forest. Way too up-and-down from January on. Team looked like they were going to compete for a No. 1 seed and challenge UNC for ACC supremacy when they were ranked No. 1 early on. They lost at home to Virginia Tech when they were top-ranked and haven't been the same since.
3. Boston College. They have been truly one of the fascinating stories of the college season. Al Skinner may not receive the national coach of the year but NO ONE did more to deserve it. He took a group that was picked to finish in the lower third of the ACC and rallied them to beat unbeaten and No. 1 North Carolina. Yes, we know who they lost to just days later but they also beat Duke and should have beaten them in the ACC tourney. But the fact is, they are bracketed with Michigan State, and Louisville in the Midwest, that is if they get by red-hot USC.
4. Duke. Why the hate for the ACC, Trags? Well, if you watched Duke lose at B.C. and you watched the game on Friday night at the Georgia Dome, you realize how flawed the Blue Devils are. If you don't let Jon Scheyer kill you, you stand a really good chance of doing what VCU did in 2007.
5. Marquette. Sorry Doc Rivers. Another great early-season story. Then Dominic James broke the fifth metatarsal in his left foot. Season over. Jerel McNeal is a fabulously talented player, who can score from anywhere on the court and led a ferocious comeback against Villanova in the Big East Tournament. But there aren't enough big bodies who score to sustain him in this highly intense environment.
Trags Final Four Take:
Louisville over Memphis in one national semifinal.
Villanova over North Carolina in the other.
Trags Final Take:
Louisville over Villanova.
Also of note:
The US Basketball Writers of America announced their All-Americans on Monday:
First Team
DeJuan Blair, Pittsburgh, F, 6-7, 265, So., Pittsburgh, Pa.
Stephen Curry, Davidson, G, 6-3, 185, Jr., Charlotte, N.C.
Blake Griffin, Oklahoma, F, 6-10, 251, So., Oklahoma City, Okla.
Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina, F, 6-9, 250, Sr., Poplar Bluff, Mo.
James Harden, Arizona State, G, 6-5, 218, So., Los Angeles, Calif.
Second Team
Sherron Collins, Kansas, G, 5-11, 200, Jr., Chicago, Ill.
Luke Harangody, Notre Dame, F, 6-8, 255, Jr., Schererville, Ind.
Jodie Meeks, Kentucky, G, 6-4, 208, Jr., Norcross, Ga.
Jeff Teague, Wake Forest, G, 6-2, 180, So., Indianapolis, Ind.
Hasheem Thabeet, Connecticut, C, 7-3, 263, Jr., Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
Celtics are caught in the middle
|03.15.09 at 3:28 pm ET
The Boston Celtics knew securing homecourt would not be the only challenge in the second half of the season. They also have to fend off playoff-hungry teams that are staying alive one win at a time.
'Being the defending champ,' Ray Allen said prior to the All-Star Break, 'Teams are in our building thinking this in an opportunity for us to beat this team. And if we can prove that we can beat this team, we can beat anybody and we'll make it into the playoffs, and who knows from there. So we always have to be aware of what we possess.'
On Sunday afternoon, the Bucks affirmed that concern with an 86-77 win over the Celtics in Milwaukee. (RECAP HERE) With that victory, the Bucks reclaimed hold of the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference. This is not the last time the Celtics will be caught in the middle of a tug-of-war for a playoff berth.
March 17: @ Chicago Bulls (30-37)
Season: Celtics 2-0
The Celtics have not faced the Bulls since they added veterans Brad Miller and John Salmons, a move that recently helped them beat the New Orleans Hornets by 18 points. The Bulls lost hold of the eighth spot with the Bucks win over the Celtics, and there is there is no better place for them to get to take it back than on their home court. They have earned 20 of their 30 victories in Chicago, tied for sixth in home wins in the Eastern Conference.
April 1: vs. Charlotte Bobcats (28-38)
Season: Tied 1-1
In spite of their record, the Bobcats have been a thorn in the Celtics side. Last year they beat the Celtics in Boston and this season snagged an overtime win in Charlotte. Even though the Bobcats have struggled with consistency, alternating winning and losing streaks, they step up their game against the Celtics. They'll come to Boston with less than 10 games left in the regular season, an opportunity to bolster their playoff hopes.
April 8: vs. New Jersey Nets (28-37)
Season: Celtics 3-0
The Celtics blew out the Nets twice without Kendrick Perkins and beat them again in March without Kevin Garnett. While Devin Harris and Vince Carter are backcourt threats, the Celtics already know how to win without their bigs. The Nets seemed to lack any motivation on their first trip to Boston in January. With a postseason berth on the line, they will stand no chance of making a push if they show up with the same level of energy in April.

Cardiovascular Institute
The Cardiovascular Institute offers patients with pulmonary hypertension the most advanced medication-based treatments, including oral, inhaled, subcutaneous and intravenous therapies. Our patients also have access to the latest combination therapies and multiple clinical trials that give you direct access to new, promising options.
Medications: Historically, the only oral medications available were calcium channel blockers, which were effective in up to 10 percent of patients. Within the past few years, bosentan, a non-selective endothelin receptor antagonist; sildenafil and tadalafil, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors; and ambrisentan, a new selective endothelin receptor antagonist, have been approved by the FDA for chronic oral therapy. Prostanoids, trepostinil, and iloprost, another inhaled prostanoid are also approved medications.
Lung and heart-lung transplant remain the only curative therapies and are recommended for select patients with progressive pulmonary hypertension symptoms who do not respond to medical therapy. Our transplant surgeons are among the best in the country, and our survival rates are even higher than the national average.
Treatment for CTEPH
While no blood is being pumped through your arteries, the surgeon opens the vessels and carefully removes the scar tissue blocking the arteries to restore normal blood flow to your lungs and cure the pulmonary hypertension. Patients are typically discharged from the hospital in about a week with normal pulmonary pressures. Within about eight weeks, patients' breathing and quality of life should improve considerably. In addition, the right heart dysfunction that typically occurs as a result of the disease tends to resolve completely.

Janet Napolitano to attend memorial for Yarnell hotshots
PHOENIX -- Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano will attend a memorial service for 19 fallen firefighters in Prescott, Ariz., on Tuesday, her agency said in a release.
Napolitano, the former governor of Arizona, is scheduled to arrive in Arizona prior to the service for the hotshots who were killed while fighting the Yarnell Hill wildfire.
Several other high-profile officials are expected to attend, including Vice President Joe Biden and current Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer.
The memorial is being held at the Toyota Center, which seats about 6,000 people. The bodies will be transported to the arena in a procession.
The fire in the town of Yarnell has destroyed more than 100 houses and burned about 13 square miles. Officials say the fire is mostly contained.

FOX Pulls 'Bones' Episode After Tragedy
Wednesday's originally episode, titled "Player Under Pressure," found the drama's main characters investigating human remains -- identified as a star student-athlete -- found under the bleachers at a college gym.
After 33 people were killed on Virginia Tech's campus in the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history, FOX moved quickly to pull the
"Out of sensitivity to the victims and families touched by this senseless tragedy, we felt the change was appropriate," a FOX spokesperson says.
It has yet to be determined when or if the "Player Under Pressure" episode will air. The "Aliens in a Spaceship" episode, which first aired in November, will show this Wednesday in its place.

This Romeo and Juliet find their Verona updated to 1950s Italy, like a Fellini film but one steeped in Catholic iconography, from crucifixes and rosary beads to the walls of Francis O'Connor's grey, deathly set which is embellished with plaques and flowers in remembrance of the dead. With this religiosity the backdrop for the Capulet's lively festivities (full of finger clicking good tunes by Terry Davies and Lisa Kent's lively Latino choreography) and some distinctly unholy behaviour (brawls, bawdiness and murder), director Dominic Hill neatly encompasses a world of contradictions and extremes.
The company work impressively together, all the relationships totally convincing, and there's a real sense of camaraderie out of which some lovely spontaneous moments arise. Individual performances are so strong and balanced that many of the actors in supporting roles distinguish themselves as much, if not more than, the 'leads'. Alan Westaway's Romeo is all unfulfilled potential, watchable but never reaching the depth of emotion necessary to fully convince. He does however achieve a charming chemistry with the Juliet played by Laura Main, who treads that difficult line between teenager and adult.
Elsewhere, John Hodgkinson's sneering Mercutio lacks colour and detail. Not so for Carol Macready's brummy Nurse, whether giggling or blubbing it's hard to avert your eyes from her energetic antics. Other notables are Christopher Godwin as the erratic Capulet and Benedict Cumberbatch as the honey-voiced Benvolio.
All in all Dominic Hill's production is engaging, and the fiery Italian spirit is not dampened in the least by any intermittent British summer drizzle.
