Former condo manager convicted of stealing

LONGBOAT KEY - A former manager of a Longboat Key condominium community was found guilty of a scheme to defraud more than $50,000 and stealing more than $100,000.
Judy Paul, 49, became manager of Sand Cay condominiums, 4725 Gulf of Mexico Drive, in June 2006. During the course of her employment, which ended in 2009, Paul wrote and cashed or deposited more than 50 checks worth approximately $216,000 for her personal gain. Those funds were questioned during a bank audit in 2009.
The trial began Monday with jury selection.
Among purchases made with that money was a motorcycle from Manatee River Harley Davidson, said assistant state attorneys Erika Quartermaine and Lisa Chittaro. The two prosecutors make up the white collar division created when Ed Brodsky was elected state attorney for the 12th Judicial Circuit.
A sentencing hearing has not been set for Paul.

My friend sent me that picture today. They have not played one game in the SEC and they are already talking shit.
Mizzou is already talking shit too, saying how they are going to win the East and how if they play their game no one can hang with them.
I honestly think that Mark Richt is going to be playing most of our defensive starters that were missing the first game, Rambo and Ogletree, from what I have read, they should only be facing a one game suspension and served it against Buffalo.
Mitchell will be back as well, I have heard that he was walking around campus with no crutches last Saturday night. Todd Grantham is going to have this defense amped up. With everyone else back on defense, it is going to be long night for Mizzou. If not, it will probably be a pretty close game.

Edge, Chargers: Adjustment battle won last week, proved tough times no obstacle.
Raiders: Second-year coach Dennis Allen instilled culture of accountability long lacking. But there's been so much turnover in personnel that continuity still big problem.
Raiders: After sitting out last week with concussion, will Terrelle Pryor be same threat to run ball? Does it matter? Raiders won game in which he ran for fewest yards.
Chargers: Beating the Cowboys to get back to .500 was enormous for the entire team's confidence. There is a sense that Rivers can do anything he wants right now.
Edge, Chargers: San Diego sees traveling to Oakland as no obstacle to winning.
Raiders: They had the opposite experience last week, losing to the previously winless Redskins. Pryor will have to be stellar to produce hope.
overall advantage
Chargers: Rivers is 11-3 against the Raiders and the rowdy fans in the Black Hole only seem to fire him up more. The Chargers have a strong edge on offense, but can't let Pryor kill them with big running plays.
running backs
Chargers: The deficiencies have been less glaring because of Rivers' play. San Diego is 18th in NFL in rushing offense.

Social Security's fertility problem.
May 7, 2007, Vol. 12, No. 32 • By JAMES C. CAPRETTA
Barring a political earthquake, President Bush will leave office without achieving his goal of transforming Social Security. That's too bad. A successful Social Security effort would be a significant down payment on much needed entitlement reform. But sooner or later, Social Security will find its way back onto the public agenda. The program's financial problems are simply too big to set aside indefinitely.
In a nutshell, Social Security's long-term prospects are bleak because of rapid and unprecedented population aging. Part of the demographic story is, of course, good news about longer lives. When Social Security started, the average man could expect to live about 12 years after reaching retirement at age 65. Today, he can expect to live 16 years.
But by far the most important factor in aging over the long run is falling fertility. Societies that do not produce children will, quite naturally, grow older. And there is simply no bigger problem than a low birth rate for a conventional "pay-as-you-go" pension system like Social Security. Without a steady stream of "payers," the system cannot "go."
What is not widely understood--despite the work of analysts like Allan Carlson, Phillip Longman, and John Mueller, among others--is that Social Security itself contributes significantly to the problem of low fertility. Odd as it may sound to the modern ear, a primary motivation for having children in earlier times was economic security in old age. As parents became frail and less productive, it was expected that one or more of their adult children would take care of them, oftentimes by bringing them into their homes. Married couples thus "invested" in numerous children, in part, to ensure there would be family members to care for them in their twilight years. With state-run Social Security, the government has largely assumed this family responsibility. Married couples have a greatly diminished economic incentive to have children, because now they are counting on--and paying for--government-based old age support.
This insight is neither new nor conceived of by conservative opponents of the welfare state. As noted frequently by Carlson, Gunnar Myrdal, the eminent Swedish socialist economist, observed in the 1940s that state-run, pay-as-you-go pension systems are built on a fundamental "contradiction": They reduce the economic incentive within a family to have children, even as they remain ever dependent on a new generation of productive workers.
The evidence for Social Security's role in fertility decline is compelling and has been confirmed by numerous researchers. A 2005 study by economists Michele Boldrin, Mariacristina De Nardi, and Larry Jones found that a government-run pension system equal to 10 percent of a country's economy correlates with a reduction in the Total Fertility Rate (TFR)--which measures the average number of births per woman during her lifetime--of between 0.7 and 1.6 children, after controlling for other variables (no one suggests government pensions are the only reason fertility has dropped).This is extraordinary given that most industrialized countries now have TFRs well below 2.0. Importantly, this research indicates that program size matters. The bigger the Social Security scheme, the steeper the fertility decline.
Japan, now the world's oldest society, presents a striking case study. Government spending on Japan's state-run pension system increased dramatically in recent decades, from about 1.3 percent of national income in 1965 to more than 12 percent today. During this same period, Japan's TFR fell from about 2.0 to 1.3. The economic consequences of this plunging birth rate will be severe in the years ahead, as the workforce contracts significantly. Japan's working age population--those ages 20 to 64--is expected to decline from 79 million in 2000 to just under 50 million in 2050, a 37 percent drop. With a smaller workforce expected, Japan has been forced to reform its Social Security program three times since 1994 and has scheduled a 0.354 percentage point payroll tax rate hike every year between 2004 and 2017--increasing the tax from 13.6 percent of wages to 18.3 percent. The evidence suggests that this tax increase will only serve to further suppress the one variable that could eventually bring Japan back from the brink--more children and, therefore, more future workers.
The pattern is similar, if not as dramatic, throughout the developed world, including in the United States. The Total Fertility Rate fell precipitously as Social Security expanded in size, from a high of 3.5 in 1955 to a low of 1.8 in 1975. It has since recovered slightly to 2.0. Today, France has a TFR of 1.9, the U.K. is at 1.6, and Germany, Italy, and Canada all have TFRs below 1.4.

U.S. to Buy H1N1 Vaccine Components From Four Firms
The U.S. government signed contracts with four companies worth a total of almost $1 billion to purchase ingredients used to make vaccines against the new H1N1 influenza virus.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Monday that the department will commit $884 million to buy supplies of two key ingredients for a potential H1N1 vaccine.
The funds will be used to place additional orders for bulk H1N1 antigen and adjuvant on existing contracts with U.S. units of Sanofi-Aventis SA and AstraZeneca PlC, along with GlaxoSmithKline PlC and Novartis AG. In May, the government earmarked $1 billion to spend on vaccine development. The bulk of the additional contracts announced Monday went to Novartis, with a contract worth about $690 million. Sanofi's contract is worth about $61.4 million; Glaxo's totaled $71.4 million, while a contract signed with AstraZeneca's MedImmune unit totals about $61 million.
Antigen is the active ingredient in a vaccine that causes the human body's immune system to develop antibodies that help fight an invading virus. An adjuvant boosts the body's response to a vaccine and could potentially reduce the amount of antigen necessary for the body to recognize and fight a virus.
The government said vaccine ingredients will become a part of the pandemic stockpile, for use if a vaccination campaign is necessary. Last week, federal officials said they were planning for a vaccination campaign aimed, in part, at school-age children, the age group among the hardest hit by the new virus that was first detected in April.
Any H1N1 vaccines would be administered separately from seasonal influenza vaccines because production is almost complete for seasonal vaccines.
Vaccine makers are currently developing H1N1 influenza vaccine pilot lots that would be used for tests that are expected to start next month. The Food and Drug Administration is planning a meeting next week to discuss the clinical trials.
The earliest doses of an H1N1 vaccine wouldn't be available until mid-October, assuming tests show the vaccines are safe and likely to be effective.
Federal officials have said they expect tests and the manufacturing process of H1N1 vaccines would be similar to the process for seasonal vaccines. Any H1N1 vaccine campaign would likely be carried out over a several-week period as additional vaccine becomes available.
Separately, a new study published online Monday in the journal Nature suggests the H1N1 virus is stronger than previously believed. Research led by Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, showed the H1N1 virus infects the lungs of mice, ferrets and monkeys, making the virus more likely to cause pneumonia compared to seasonal flu, which typically infects cells in the sinuses and throat. Researchers said tests of antiviral drugs in mice showed the drugs worked and suggested the drugs will be effective at combating H1N1 infections in humans.

In addition to the local coverage of the Bush/Specter appearance yesterday, some national reporters tagged along on the trip and write up the President's day stumping for the Patriot Act and the senior Senator from Pennsylvania.
AP's Lindlaw reports that with Karl Rove in tow, President Bush made his 27th stop in the Keystone State. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's ed board argues the President may be bitten by his backing for incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter in his Pa. GOP primary against more conservative Rep. Pat Toomey. Writes the ed board, "a Senator Toomey would be a far more reliable vote in a second Bush term on everything from legal and Social Security reform to taxes. Senator Specter, on the other hand, has made a career of breaking with his party on key votes and then high-tailing it to the right when it's necessary to save his hide in a primary."
The Washington Post's Mike Allen reports on the President's stumping for the permanent extension of the USA Patriot Act. LINK
The Washington Times' Lakely: LINK
USA Today's Keen: LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Chen and Schmitt: LINK
The New York Times' Elisabeth Bumiller focuses on the stumping for Specter yesterday and Notes that despite differences of opinions, President Bush and Sen. Specter last night were "side by side, heaping praise on each other as if their political futures depended on it." LINK
The Washington Post's Dana Milbank summarizes the White House's approach to the press: "Reporters covering the Bush administration discovered early on that the best source on the president's activities was often someplace other than the White House." LINK
After weeks of tough negotiations, Vice President Cheney was allowed to speak live and uncensored to the Chinese people when he visited the country last week, The New York Times' Joseph Kahn reports. LINK
The New York Times' Lee reports that at this tax season, the IRS totes a supportive message for the president on its Web site. LINK
The New York Times' David Brooks reviews air pollution trends under the Bush Administration and concludes that they have remained largely unchanged from the Clinton Administration until now. LINK
The Hill's Kaplan writes that Hill Republicans, "concerned" by the campaign focus on outsourcing from their Democratic competitors, "are crafting a 'competitiveness agenda' that will stress simplifying the tax code and scaling back government regulations" set to be rolled out in mid-May." LINK
More POTUS vs. AFL-CIO: The Wall Street Journal's McKinnon and Pierceall report that "the government is expected to issue new rules as soon as today extending rights for overtime pay to more low-wage workers, but reducing or eliminating that protection for many white-collar and middle-income employees."
In a "substantial shift," the Washington Post's Kirstin Downey reports, the Administration will allow workers who earn less than $100,000 to earn overtime pay. LINK
From the outside:
Keying off the latest FEC reports, the Los Angeles Times reports that "fueled by money from Hollywood, unions and wealthy executives, the largest independent groups raising money to defeat President Bush in November collected more than $20 million in the first quarter of 2004, according to records released by the IRS." Note, though, the 527s "are still far short of their goal, now estimated at $145 million" and the Media Fund's fundraising goal has been scaled back from $75 million to $50 million LINK

Offense There was a time when the Chargers would make the playoffs every year and then disappoint once they got there. From 2004-2009, the Chargers won the division and made the playoffs 5 times in 6 seasons, going 67-29 over that stretch, but they went just 3-5 in the playoffs and never advanced past the AFC Championship. Now they can't even make the playoffs. In the last two seasons, they have gone a combined 17-15 and missed out on the playoffs both times. In 2010, they played really well, leading the league in yards and allowing the fewest yards at the same time, but finished 9-7. They finished with the NFL's 5th best points differential with a +119 and had a Pythagorean Expectation of 10.9 wins. They also had the NFL's 7th best DVOA and were one of 4 teams to finish in the top-10 in DVOA both offensively and defensively (Green Bay, Pittsburgh, NY Giants). Every advanced statistic in the book said that would likely bounce back in 2011. Well, they didn't. Advanced statistics can ...

Highway slammers. Solid.
I bought these boots in March the day I took off on a 2100 mile motorcycle road trip to the southern tip of Alaska. I put them through the wringer to say the least…
The thick leather wrap of this boot only gets better with time. It forms to your foot with each day you wear it and and loosens up but never loses it's strength. The boots are also much warmer than I expected. Riding in the winter time with a pair of ski socks, they were perfect. I would definitely recommend the non insulated pair if you are just buying these in warm weather.
They are very stylie boots and would look cool in any setting from urban streets to massive mountains. I believe style is their main purpose because they don't hold up all that well to heavy conditions…
The bold leather midsole (brown part) stands out the most on this boot and is the most notable as it is worn down. I did a kickflip on my skateboard with this boot and the leather instantly changed color to a rough white from the grip tape.
The worst part of the boot is the glued on rubber sole. They provide excellent traction but by the end of my trip were very worn-down. The first part to go is a small toenail of rubber weakned by a poorly placed stitch intended to keep the rubber from peeling back. As the rubber continued to dissolve and the small chunk in front broke off the stitch no longer held the rubber down and it began to peel off the midsole.
Overall I loved the boot but don't expect them to last as long as the classic Sorel Caribou boot. I would definitely buy another pair as I doubt I'll be riding a motorcycle 2100 miles again this year, so I'm sure they'll last longer the second go around.

Manchester United survived a second-half Southampton onslaught to win 2-1 and go seven points clear in the English Premier League title race on Wednesday. United fell behind after three minutes when goalkeeper David de Gea was partly culpable for Jay Rodriguez scoring. Even after Wayne Rooney responded with two goals in the first half for United, De Gea's goalkeeping remained a concern, looking nervy throughout. Southampton spent almost the entire second half in United territory and was denied a point only by some desperate defending, with Adam Lallana coming close to equalizing after De Gea spilled Rickie Lambert's free kick straight to him. But while United is seven points ahead of Manchester City at the top, Southampton is just three points clear of the relegation zone.

These wrist wraps are great! They unravel without tangling, they wash without knotting up, and are so easy to re-roll into spirals for easy storage. The material is of a better quality than other wrist wraps I purchased in the past, making them more durable. Only thing I wish they came in cool camo colors. LIke red black camo, blue black camo, etc. :)Angie G.

Is this thing on? Oh, hi.
Life should be fun. We all work hard (probably too hard) and deal with the b.s. and stress of modern times, so who needs that in their free time? I'm looking for a strong, healthy relationship that is free of drama and angst, that's about romance and respect; to build a core that is solid enough so that when life throws you a curveball (as it tends to), you can be there for the other person without hesitation. By the way, does "curveball" have something to do with that sport with the leather egg? Or the one with the hoops? You guessed it: not a sports fan. May be a dealbreaker for those ladies who love their Sunday football (now THAT's the leather egg one--right?) but a big relief for others. Listing "sense of humor" as a requirement is about as cliched as "enjoy walks on the beach", but frankly I can go a long time without walking on the beach--gotta be able to laugh, every day. If you can work a highbrow reference, pop culture and random non-sequiteur into the same sentence, I'm in. Loves me a witty gal. I've got a great social circle but sometimes I'm just as happy staying in and watching a movie (my home theater is pretty compelling). I like the idea of cooking but I'm not great at it--would like to have someone teach me and we can make meals together. I can however mix pretty respectable cocktails. A lady that isn't afraid of the brown spirits gains instant points with me. My friends are split pretty evenly between male and female, hopefully yours are too. I don't run off with "the guys" for fishing/camping trips. I'm mechanically/electronically minded--take me to the mall and I'll head for the Apple store while you are shoe-shopping. Unless you are a fan of John Fluevog shoes, in which case, let's go. Like, now. Thoughtful. Hilarious. Sweet. Offbeat. Smart. REAL. That's what I'm looking for. Physically, I don't require exotic model-esque beauty. I'm a sucker for girl-next-door cute. Mary Ann, not Ginger. Or, if you can go with me on this one: Bailey Quarters, not Jennifer the receptionist. OK, your turn, smarty-pants. Bring it.

It mean that they don't announce it to the public. It's a quiet sort of word-of-mouth opening.Originally Posted by viewaskewniverse

Scrapping The Grand National's Vulnerable Powermaster In Favor Of The Versatile Hydroboost

Grand National Hydroboost Braking System - Hydroboost Brakin' - Tech
Pictured is the Powermaster unit complete with the pressure switch (gray), the accumulator ball (black) and the motor mounted below. GM issued a recall for the pressure switch and the gray one seen here is the upgrade. If you still have a black switch-better change it ASAP!
The first thing we decided to tackle was the removal of the intercooler and all of the inlet and outlet piping.
In order to gain access to the power steering pump it was necessary to remove the intercooler fan blade from the crankshaft damper and the serpentine belt.
Next we removed the belt tensioner pulley from the tensioner. This would give us a clear shot at the pump.
Moving to the Powermaster unit, we began by removing the four-wire connector from the motor and the three-wire connector from the pressure switch. Both connectors will be tucked away just in case we decide to reinstall the Powermaster for stock status in the future. Next, we carefully loosened the brake lines from the master cylinder for future removal.
Moving to the Powermaster unit, we began by removing the four-wire connector from the motor and the three-wire connector from the pressure switch. Both connectors will be tucked away just in case we decide to reinstall the Powermaster for stock status in the future. Next, we carefully loosened the brake lines from the master cylinder for future removal.
In order to unbolt the Powermaster from the mounting plate we needed to carefully remove the accumulator. You must pump the brake pedal a good 15-20 times to depressurize the system with the ignition off, otherwise bodily harm will become your number one concern of the day. Once depressurized, we simply used a wrench to remove the ball. This allowed us access to remove the two nuts holding the unit to the mounting plate and slide the Powermaster out of the GN.
Next, we ventured under the dashboard to remove the lower panel. This allowed us access to remove the four nuts holding the Powermaster mounting plate to the firewall, along with the brake pedal lever pictured. Notice the Hydroboost unit has the lever incorporated into the unit and cannot be separated like the stock Powermaster. Thankfully the existing brake pedal assembly can be utilized with the Hydroboost unit.
It was now time to install the Hydroboost in the car. No separate mounting plate was needed, as it was all part of the unit. Once all four nuts were reinstalled and the brake lever was properly fastened, the master cylinder was mated to the Hydroboost via the supplied nuts and washers.
Basic hand tools were used up until this point, however a power steering pulley removal tool was needed next. On the left is the removal tool, which clamshells around the snout of the pulley and presses it off. The middle tool is the installation tool, but not to worry, the kit comes with the installation tool on the right, which can be put together via a bolt, nut, and washer.
Pictured is the remanufactured pump that comes with the kit. Notice the pressure tube that protrudes from the top and wraps around, this tube is reused from the old pump. Once the pump is reinstalled into the vehicle the aforementioned installation tool is used to press the pulley back on. Be sure the pulley lines up with the remainder of the accessory drive pulleys in the vehicle for proper belt alignment.
The pressure lines and return line were to be installed next. One pressure line went from the power steering pump to the Hydroboost and one from the Hydroboost to the gear. Both pressure lines came complete with the kit and contained new rubber O-rings preinstalled. As per the instructions, we cut the existing return line about 4 inches from the gear and installed this brass tee. This provision was made to connect the return line from the Hydroboost to the reservoir. Any time brake/power steering work of this magnitude is performed the entire brake and power steering system should be flushed out with clean fluids specified per your application.
Since we did not have a bench vice to properly bench bleed our master cylinder, we cheated and mounted it straight into the car. We then had one person pump the brake and then hold the pedal, while cracking the lines off of the master cylinder until a solid stream of fluid came out (no air bubbles). Once satisfied, we then proceeded to remove all four wheels and bleed out the entire brake system. Beginning at the furthest point-the passenger rear-we then worked our way to the driver's rear, passenger front, and finally the driver's front, being sure all air was removed from the system. Now is a good time to adjust your rear drum brakes and emergency brake to gain the highest pedal possible.
After reinstalling all components to their original locations, we fired the GN up. At first the steering made some noise and was tight due to air in the system. Next we maxed the steering wheel full right and full left a good 8 to 10 times helping alleviate all of the air from the system. While taking it for a spin we noticed the pedal was right up top and the GN stopped like never before. Unlike vacuum-assisted brakes, the car seemed to have a more instantaneous reaction when applying the pedal. Except for our trip to the local parts house to get some fluids, no additional parts were needed to complete the job. While there are many braking options available, we believe we chose the most viable option for our Grand National and still had a few bucks left over for lunch!

Potty-trained for a year now but still won't poop in potty
Comments (7)
Maybe try that and see if it helps. Try not to talk about so he feels in control and that it's his choice. Good luck and hope this helps!
Proud mommy of 3!!

Put him on little porta potty which you fill with arm towels (old ones) and cover with plastic and toilet paper. I don't want to get too graphic here but this will keep his bum warm and also when he's pooping it won't dangle and pull on his bum.
Let me know if this works.
I have a potty training book on my website which may help also.
Lisa Bunnage, Parenting Coach
We introduced the PTing at 18 mos. My DS pees on the potty great, but even now at 29 mos old, he won't poop on the potty either. I've read many articles that say pooping on the potty takes a long time to master for toddlers. Peeing is easy, but pooping can take anywhere from 6 mos to a year to get the hang of. Hang in there.

Inflammation looks like common thread, researcher says
MONDAY, June 15 (HealthDay News) -- People with psoriasis face an increased risk of major cardiovascular disease and death, a new study finds.
The research, which included data from a Veterans Administration medical facility study to compare 3,236 people suffering from the skin disease to 2,500 psoriasis-free individuals, found a 78 percent higher incidence of heart disease, a 70 percent higher incidence of stroke and a 98 percent higher incidence of peripheral arterial disease (blockage of arteries in the legs) in the psoriasis group.
The overall death rate for those with psoriasis was 86 percent higher than for those without the disease. In the 20 years covered by the study, 19.6 percent of those with psoriasis died, compared to 9.9 percent of those without the disease.
The cardiovascular disease calculations included effects of known risk factors such as obesity, smoking, diabetes and high blood cholesterol, said study co-author Dr. Robert S. Kirsner, vice chairman of dermatology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The team reports the finding in the June issue of the Archives of Dermatology.
"In and of itself, psoriasis imparts a risk of cardiac disease, stroke and peripheral arterial disease," Kirsner said. "Psoriasis imposes the same level of risk as high blood lipids and smoking."
The risk appears to stem from the chronic inflammation associated with psoriasis, he explained. "This systemic inflammation causes damage to blood vessels, leading to increased risk," he said.
The medical lesson of the study is that "it is critical for people who have psoriasis to understand their increased risk and have their other risk factors addressed," he said.
Cardiovascular risk is linked to the severity of the skin disease, Kirsner said, and "there are some data suggesting that treating psoriasis can lowe

Five Things We Learned: Rajon Rondo Would Make Doc Go Left
|04.10.09 at 11:28 pm ET
The other night Stephon Marbury said that Rajon Rondo reminded him of former Syracuse great (and former Net not-so-great) Pearl Washington. It was a nice trip down remembrance lane for the assembled press corps, conjuring up memories of the Pearl weaving his way through the Georgetown Hoya Paranoia press of yore. But for Rondo? Not so much.
"I don't know who Pearl was," Rondo said before reminding the media that he didn't spend a lot of time watching basketball while he was growing up. The conversation turned to Doc Rivers, who Rondo also doesn't remember as a player, not that it stopped him from taking a little trash.
"I would have a field day against Doc," Rondo said. Wouldn't Doc post you up somebody wanted to know? "He'd have to bring it up first," Rondo said. "Doc can't go left. That's what he told me anyway. That would be his problem."
"That's probably true," Rivers answered. "But I'm humble. If we played under the rules I played under (read: hand checks and lots of 'em) he wouldn't stand a chance. If we played under his rules I wouldn't have a chance."
The rules being what they are, Doc's assessment is probably correct because without the free use of hand checks (and body slams a la the old Pat Riley Knicks) no one in the NBA has much of a prayer of staying in front of Rondo.
Rondo's recent scoring binge was a topic of conversation pre-game, but he dismissed that too saying he's rather have 15 or 16 assists then 30+ points like he dropped on the Nets, Wednesday. Against Miami on Friday his scoring was down–just seven points–but he had 12 assists to go with 10 rebounds and prevented his counterpart, Mario Chalmers, from doing much of anything.
Kevin Pelton of Basketball Prospectus fame recently unveiled his picks for the All-Defensive team, which featured Rondo as the First-Team point guard. Pelton wrote: "Rondo has size and quickness, and uses them both along with a pair of hands that might be as good as any in the league. Rondo's ability to pressure the length of the court sets the tone for the Celtics' stifling defense, and he is an asset defending in the half court as well."
The age of Rajon is upon us. Here are five other things we learned from Friday nights' game with the Heat. (Click here for a recap).
The Truth unleashed a classic Truth kind of game with 28 points, eight rebounds and a bushel of clutch shots down the stretch. There has been much concern about Pierce's physical well-being after he appeared worn down in late March and early April, but the Captain seems to be picking it up at the right time.
"Paul just plays," Rivers said. "You don't know if he's tired, if he's hurt. You don't know if he's feeling great, he has the same expression every night. He's such a warrior and people don't get that about him. He is a tough, tough, tough guy. He really is and I think his love of the game is what drives him."
Pierce cited his maturity and with age comes wisdom, particularly in terms of getting his rest and taking care of his body. "As I get older, I'm getting a lot smarter," Pierce said. "I feel great right now. I love the way I've been playing. I feel like I can do this for another 10 years."
Early in the second quarter, Marbury pulled up on the break and drained a 15-foot jumper. It's the last thing that has been missing from his comeback attempt, not only the shot, but also the willingness to take it. Marbury made four of five shots in the first half, but he struggled in the second, an indication that he's not all the way there yet.
"We just want him to keep looking at it," Rivers said. "And do it in rhythm. In the first half he just played the game and let it come to him. Second half I thought he was looking for it."
For the second night in a row, however, it was the second unit that gave the Celtics a jolt of energy; a positive development that has helped fuel their run of 10 wins in their last 11 games.
Ray Allen won the Red Auerbach Award as the player who best exemplifies what it means to be a Celtic, and he was a little surprised by the honor.
"I'm think OK, somebody's going to get an award," Allen said. "I looked behind me to see who was going to step up… I was totally overwhelmed. Surprised. It was a great surprise."
Allen has put together one of the most efficient seasons of his NBA career by adding a mid-range game that was mostly absent last year. If you recall, the year began with something of an unofficial Allen Watch every time he struggled. Given his track record, it's unfair to say that this year comes as a complete shock, but given the track record of shooting guards in their 30's it's a testament to the hard work Allen has put in on his game.
The Cavs won, and locked up the top seed in the East. The Magic lost (somehow) at home to a Knicks team that started the immortal Jared Jeffries at center opposite Dwight Howard. That gives the Celtics a two-game lead with three games to play for the second seed.The Hawks, meanwhile, locked up the fourth seed.
The rest of the East is still a jumble. Miami and Philly are still separated by a game for the fifth spot, while Chicago and Detroit are within a game of Philly for sixth. So, there's still a lot to figure out, but at least it's not as messy as the West.
The Celtics won their 60th game, marking the 13th time in their distinguished franchise history that they have reached that plateau and the second year in a row. Prior to last season, the Celtics had not won 60 games since the Larry Bird era when they turned the trick six times in Larry Legend's career.
Of their 60-win seasons the Celtics have won the NBA championship six times–2007-08, 1985-86, 1983-84, 1980-81, 1964-65 and 1961-62.
Final Update
|04.10.09 at 9:59 pm ET
It's over at the Garden where the Celtics held off the Heat in a wildly entertaining game, 105-98. Paul Pierce led the way with 28 points, while Big Baby Davis added 22 and eight rebounds and Rajon Rondo came up just shy of a triple-double with seven points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.
In the last two minutes with the score tied 95-95, the Heat switched Dwyane Wade on to Pierce, an interesting tactical decision by rookie coach Erik Spolestra. Pierce had been working over James Jones when Spolestra made the switch, and while Wade has the edge on Jones in the strength department, he also gave up a few inches in size and he picked up two quick fouls including one on a Pierce jumper.
Pierce went to the line and made a pair of free throws and after Wade missed a 3-pointer, the Celtics cashed in on some solid ball movement that resulted in Davis dropping in a lay-up as the shot clock hit zero.
For the C's it was their 60th win of the season, the first time they've had back-to-back 60-win seasons since the Larry Bird era. Elsewhere, Cleveland beat Philadelphia and clinched first place in the Eastern Conference, while Orlando is down seven at home against the Knicks entering the fourth quarter.
Third Quarter Update
|04.10.09 at 9:23 pm ET
Things are getting interesting at the Garden as D-Wade and Paul Pierce put on a nice little show in the third quarter. Wade scored 10 of his 20 points in the quarter, while Pierce went for a dirty dozen to give him 19 and the C's are holding a 79-72 lead.
It's been an entertaining game with both teams shooting around 50 percent, balanced scoring on both sides and Rajon Rondo continues to work his way toward a triple-double. He has seven points, nine rebounds and eight assists going into the final frame.
Elsewhere, the Cavs are up 11 on Philly and about to wrap up the top overall seed in the East.
Halftime Update
|04.10.09 at 8:42 pm ET
The man of the hour, or the half, whichever you prefer, is Stephon Marbury. As Marbury's play has improved over the last few weeks the one thing still missing has been his shot. Early in the second quarter, Marbury pulled up on the break and knocked down an elbow jumper. That shot appeared to galvanize him as he finished the quarter with eight points and shot 4-for-5 from the floor.
Marbury's play, and a solid defensive effort from the second unit got the Celtics the lead, but they still are having a problem with Jermaine O'Neal who has racked up 14 points and six rebounds. The C's have managed to hold Dwyane Wade mostly in check and the Heat have shot a shockingly bad 4-of-10 from the free throw line. That's helped them take a 54-47 lead into the break.
The highlight of the night, though, was Bill Walker's reverse alley-oop jam. I talked to Walker before the game about Tony Allen's similar dunk during the Nets game Wednesday and told him that I still preferred his tomahawk jam on Memphis' Darrell Arthur a few weeks ago. Walker thanked me for the compliment but added that TA's dunk "was pretty sweet." Now he's got one of his own.
One more note from the first half: Rajon Rondo is flirting with a triple-double. He's got five points, six rebounds and five assists.
First Quarter Update
|04.10.09 at 8:10 pm ET
If you want to know why the Miami Heat fall into that nebulous category of potentially dangerous in the playoffs, it goes beyond Dwyane Wade. In Jermaine O'Neal and Michael Beasley Miami has a pair of athletic and active big men who run the floor well and can provide matchup problems.
O'Neal and Beasley combined for 10 points and seven rebounds in the first quarter while the Heat shot a scintillating 55 percent from the floor in taking a 25-22 lead. The Celtics, meanwhile, have struggled mightily, making just 8-of-24 shots, but own a 14-9 edge on the boards. On a positive note for the C's, Paul Pierce heated up late in the quarter, sticking that step-back 20-footer and nailing a contested 3-pointer from the top of the key.
Both teams have something to play for tonight. The Celtics, of course, are trying to hold off Orlando for the second seed, while Miami has a one game lead on Philly for the fifth seed. The Magic are hosting the Knicks tonight, while the Sixers are in Cleveland. The Cavs can clinch homecourt with one more win, or one more Celtics loss.
Allen receives Red Auerbach Award
|04.10.09 at 7:42 pm ET
Ray Allen was honored as the recipient of the Red Auerbach Award prior to tip-off. Allen is the fourth player to receive the award which recognizes those who exemplify what it means to be a Celtic. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Al Jefferson previously received the award.
Powe expects to practice Monday
|04.10.09 at 7:07 pm ET
Leon Powe hasn't played since spraining his knee on St. Patrick's Day. He expects to return to practice on Monday, and he doesn't want his teammates to go easy on him either.
'Oh no, no, no. I wouldn't even practice. I wouldn't even come to practice,' he said with a laugh prior to the Boston Celtics' game against the Miami Heat. 'No, don't go easy on me. I want to go in there full speed. You've got to go at me so I can test it out.'
Powe is making so much progress, in fact, that he said he is 'very much ahead of schedule.' He completed a 30-minute workout with assistant coach Clifford Ray on Friday, focusing on his legs with sliding, cutting, jumping, and post move drills.
But team doctors are still proceeding with caution. They have asked him to wear a brace as a preventative measure to avoid other players banging into his knee. Powe doesn't like it ' taking it on and off is the worst part, he says ' but he knows it's part of the recovery.
Head coach Doc Rivers still does not expect Powe to play before the playoffs.

Microsoft poaching Apple retail staff
It seems Microsoft is taking more than Apple's retail business model with its new high street stores - it's nicking staff too.
Reports into The Loop suggest that Microsoft is poaching Apple retail store managers to run its own retail chain, branches of which are due to open this year.
The Loop says that in addition to "significant raises", managers are being offered moving expenses.
Once successfully poached, the ex-Apple bosses are then recruiting their previous top sales staff with the lure of higher salaries.
Previous reports have suggested the location of Microsoft's new stores will be near to existing Apple stores, seeing the two tech giants go head-to-head on the high street.

A new 28 GHz - 1 MW gyrotron has been developed for ECRH system of GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. To achieve the design target of the new gyrotron, which is 1 MW output for 1 s, the magnetron injection gun (MIG) and cavity were designed in detail with calculation codes. A first tube has been fabricated, and performance test is in progress. The maximum output power of 1.04 MW and the maximum output efficiency of 40.6% were obtained with short pulse operation. However, at the same time, it was confirmed that the output efficiency had decreased with the increase of beam current. This is explained with decrease, which is a one of issues to develop a higher efficiency gyrotron.

Stress Management - Measuring Stress
Feeling stress is a fact of life for most people. But it affects everyone differently. What causes stress for you may not be stressful for someone else. That's because how you view a situation affects how much stress it causes you. Only you can figure out whether you have too much stress in your life.
Ask yourself these questions to find out what is causing your stress:

The Effects of Stress on Your Body
Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. Many events that happen to you and around you -- and many things that you do yourself -- put stress on your body. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts.
Read the The Effects of Stress on Your Body article > >
What job, family, or personal stress do you have?
Stress can be caused by an ongoing personal situation such as:
- Problems in your family or with a relationship.
- Caring for a family member who is elderly, has
chronic health problems, or is disabled. Caregiving is a major source of

Have you had any recent major life changes?
Life changes such as getting married, moving to a new city, or losing a job can all be stressful. You can't always control these things, but you can control how you respond to them.
To find out your current stress level based on recent changes in your life, try this Interactive Tool: What Is Your Stress Level?
Do your beliefs cause you stress?
Some people feel stress because their beliefs conflict with the way they are living their life. Examine your beliefs, such as your values and life goals, to find out if you have this kind of conflict in your life.
How are you coping with stress?
Your lifestyle choices can prevent your body from recovering from stress. For example, as you sleep, your body recovers from the stresses of the day. If you're not getting enough sleep or your sleep is often interrupted, you lose the chance to recover from stress.
The way you act and behave can also be a sign of stress. Some people who face a lot of stress react by smoking, drinking too much alcohol, eating poorly, or not exercising. The health risks posed by these habits are made even worse by stress.
Your body feels stress-related wear and tear in two ways: the stress itself and the unhealthy ways you respond to it.

"Kukkiwon is handing over the degree to salute her fighting spirit and enthusiasm for the sports," said Pradipto Roy, former Taekwondo world champion and the first Taekwondo Hall of Fame recipient of India.
The title would put Banerjee on par with two international celebrities — US president Barrack Obama and British soccer star David Beckham. In India, her peers will be Bollywood star and West Bengal's brand ambassador Shah Rukh Khan and Mizoram's chief minister 73-year old Pu Lalthanhawla.
But there's a difference, pointed out Roy. Both SRK and Lalthanhawla were bestowed the degree through franchisees or members of Kukkiwon. This is the first time the Taekwondo body would come to India to confer a degree on an Indian.
"In fact, chief director of Kukkiwon, Youn Kook Park, who is also a noted politician in Korea, will confer the award," said Roy.
Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art that emphasizes kicking and punching techniques.
"The CM will receive a certificate and a traditional Taekwondo uniform with a black belt. After the ceremony, she would become a Taekwondo grandmaster," added Roy.

Lots of kids and teens have had a taste of kart racing, and it's a growing sport with karting clubs, one-day expos and driving schools for children as young as 5 years old.

"Kids start as early as age 5 and run until they are 16," says Curt Sullivant, Chris's father and Quarter Midgets' regional director. "Not too many kids go to the 16 cutoff. My son did, and he had to retire."
Although Chris retired from his racing career, his 12-year old sister Mandy is carrying on the speed-karting tradition. The kart motor's stock configuration gives it between 2.5 and 4 horsepower. Modifications, as allowed in the upper classes, permit the engines to reach several times the stock horsepower.
"We race on a 1/20th of a mile, small, oval track," Sullivant says. "A novice is an 8-second lap and bigger engines run a 6-second lap."
A 6-second lap means the experienced drivers are running at speeds of 40 to 45 mph. The oval shape keeps racers at lower speeds because of the nearly constant turn, says Sullivant.
Safety first
If the thought of a 5-year old behind the wheel of a kart screeching around corners worries you, the family-oriented Quarter Midgets have strict safety rules. The organization requires every new driver to take part in a training session for both driver and pit crew, usually a mom or dad. The session is included with club membership fees. The other club members come to the track and teach about the car, flags, racing and rules.
"We get them on the track to get some laps under their belt," he says. "Then more novice kids go out so they can get used to racing with other kids."
The Quarter Midgets currently have 4,500 racers nationwide. The contestants' beginnings were all nearly the same: They came to a promotional day. Days are scheduled throughout the year at different venues.
"It is a 10-lap test drive in a [member's] car with safety equipment and instructions," Sullivant says. "And in our experience we haven't come across a kid yet that hasn't had a blast."
The next step is to buy a car and required safety equipment, costing between $1,500 and $3,500.
After that, finding a racing venue in South Florida can be somewhat challenging. Current race locations in the state are New Smyrna, Tampa and Titusville.
"We are trying to establish a club in South Florida," Sullivant says. "We thought we had a go with one venue but they decided to go another way."
The South Florida club has a few participants willing to drive to the north and central Florida locations, sometimes on a weekly basis, he says.
"The guys that are racing want something to do with their kids," Sullivant says. "We know it would be big; we just need a venue."
Looking for a home
Ronnie Laing, president of the South Florida Quarter Midget's Association, found the sport when his son Tyler, 12, said he wanted to race "something."

70 arrested as San Francisco Occupy camp cleared
SAN FRANCISCO Police gave protesters at San Francisco's Occupy encampment five minutes to gather belongings before dismantling the camp in an overnight raid, taking down about 100 tents and arresting 70 people.
About two dozen officers in riot gear remained at daybreak Wednesday, down from more than 100 who carried out the raid. They blocked access to the former camp site as trash crews raked up paper and plastic bottles, removed chairs and other belongings that had accumulated there over the past two months, and pressure-washed the sidewalks.
A handful of protesters stood by, occasionally jeering at officers but otherwise heeding their instructions to stay back.
About 200 protesters gathered in front of the Federal Reserve Bank near the former Occupy site in the afternoon, blocking a busy thoroughfare ahead of a planned march.
The raid began around 1 a.m., when dozens of police cars, fire engines and ambulances surrounded the campsite at Justin Herman Plaza and blocked off the area. City officials previously declared the site a public health nuisance.
Police didn't immediately say how many people were in the plaza at the time, but campers put the estimate at 150.
"Most of the protesters went peacefully," but one officer received minor injuries when two people threw a chair that cracked his face shield, said officer Albie Esparza. They were arrested on suspicion of felony assault. Dozens of others were arrested for illegal lodging in the plaza and failure to disperse. In all, 70 people were taken into custody.
Jack Martin of San Francisco said he was trying to leave the plaza when he was zip-tied, taken to a police station, cited and released. Officers trashed his tent and personal belongings, he said.
"Everything I owned is gone," said Martin, 51, as tears welled up in his eyes. "My medicine, my paper for my Social Security."
He yelled at a line of officers blocking the plaza: "I was trying to get out of your way!"
Martin said he lost his job as a building manager and had moved into a hostel until about five weeks ago, when he ran out of money. Asked what he planned to do next, he replied, "Occupy, occupy, occupy, occupy."
Richard Kriedler with Occupy SF said some protesters were injured, but he didn't have the details.
"This is a very emotional town. We have anarchists, we have very emotional people that this is not going to go over well with, and this could have been handled a lot better," he said.
"A much more simple way to do it would have been direct contact with the mayor and city officials here with us, and even though they've been invited many times, they didn't come."
But San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said the people at the campsite with whom officials had been holding discussions were no longer there.
"Negotiations had broken down," he told the San Francisco Chronicle. "We weren't getting our emails returned."
In a statement, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said the city had taken a "measured and balanced approach," including making an alternate site available to protesters. That site - an abandoned school in the Mission district - included a parking lot where the protesters could maintain their encampment, a classroom for meetings, and two bathrooms.

The new work from Australian photographer Jana Maré in a way presents different relationships. Maré's nude body is found throughout a deteriorating house, interacting with various rooms and structures. The physical relationship expressed in the photos at once recalls the structure's past incarnation as a home and emphasizes its current dilapidation. At the same time, though, Maré, in using her own body and refusing to use digital manipulation seems to have a nearly uneasy relationship with the camera and viewer – her posing a kind of performance that has been frozen.

Ahn Jun's Photography at Dizzying Heights
The photographic images of artist Ahn Jun unfold at dizzying heights. Ahn captures her self-portraits perched atop ledges and windowsills. The frightening heights don't act as a gimmick it does in the current Russian fad that may come to mind. Rather, Ahn uses the elevation more as a narrative tool. While clearly referencing suicide, she pushes the story beyond that also. She nearly seems not only to be involved in an inner drama but interacting with the cityscape as a whole – she looks as if to be addressing the city personally.
The Film-Like Photography of Tajette O'Halloran
The photographic work of Tajette O'Halloran is narrative rich. Each image seems stolen from a story in progress. The photographs borrow filmic qualities not only in its storytelling but style lighting and composition. Indeed, O'Halloran had spent time as a location scout for Australia's film industry. She's kept her eye for location and sense of drama. The self-portrait series featured here is set in an abandoned house in Barre, Massachusetts.
O'Halloran relates of the experience, "While staying here in this environment I felt compelled to create a photographic story of captivity, abandonment and surrender. I wanted to explore the fragility, torment and eventual freedom of the mind when left alone with yourself and your thoughts."
Justin Bettman's Bagel Project
Photographer Justin Bettman's Bagel Project is much more than a series of well produced photographs. Bettman meets with homeless people throughout California and exchanges a bagel for a story. He then documents each story with a photograph.
Bettman admits, "The homeless in our cities are often forgotten, as after a while they become a part of the city themselves; blending in like streetlights and bus stops, or any of the other things we walk by hundreds of times a day."
His images, though, reveal incredible depths of narrative in simple subtle facial expressions. He goes on to say, "I've been continually surprised by the fact that these people are content with their lives; if anything, they are happier to have a friend to talk to rather than the food provided."
Bettman's blog accompanies each photo with a story – an extremely interesting read that is difficult leaving.
Corey Arnold's Captivating Documentation Of A Fisherman's Life
Portland based, Corey Arnold, has taken some truly amazing documentary style photos of the honest accounts of what it means to be a fisherman at sea. Corey's photos are endearing telling stories of grueling and gritty conditions of the life of a fisherman tackling themes of isolation, courage, absurdity, and fortitude. Corey is a fisherman himself, and has been taking astonishing real account photos as long as he has been fishing. It is important to note that what makes Arnold's photos so true and honest is the fact that he is actually a fisherman, just one of the guys out at sea, and has to earn his mate's trust and pitch in like the rest bearing the harsh conditions of the day but still finding the nerve to grab his camera in opportune times. In the summer Corey captains a wild salmon fishing boat in Bristol Bay, Alaska. Arnold has exhibited his show "Fish-Work": The Bering Sea earlier in 2012 and has published a book titled 'The Bering Sea.' (via)
Akihiko Miyoshi's Elegantly Simple Abstract Photographs
Artist Akihiko Miyoshi creates amazing abstract work using simple photographic technique. He uses little more than a camera, colored tape, and a mirror to explore ideas of composition and color. While photography is arguably thought of as the epitome of representational art, Akihiko's images are decidedly abstract. While minimally manipulating his images, they stand distinct from painting counterparts. In a way Akihiko abstracts not only form, but light.
The Lonely Photography of Bence Bakonyi
Hungarian photographer Bence Bakonyi's series Dignity is a clearly personal one. The white arctic-like landscape is contrasted against deep black fields. The inky pools seem to be light swallowing and even begin to envelop a figure in some images. Bakonyi's photographs are intensely lonely. Referring to the series, he speaks about a distinction between the body and mind as expressed in the photos.
Speaking about struggles between the two he relates, "It's so alluring, sometimes as if the will of the body would want to swallow me, leaving my thoughts behind, but then comes the soul to pull me back."
Wes Naman's Scotch Tape Portraits
Photographer Wes Naman's Scotch Tape series is playful if not a bit creepy. Naman wraps clear tape around his subjects' heads severely distorting their face. The tape tugs and squeezes lips, eyebrows, and noses making light of the idea of portraits. Slightly disturbing, the portraits resemble smiling car accident survivors or botched plastic surgery victims. Such simple but inventive ideas have made Naman a rather successful photographer winning him clients as diverse as High Times Magazine and T-Mobile. [via]

It's one of the most important positions in all of sports—the captain of the defense, the leader of the pitching staff. Finding a catcher who can hold his own behind the plate and in the batters box is far from a simple task.
When a prospect shows offensive and defensive ability at the position, they are snatched up early in the draft and promoted quickly through the minor leagues. For teams who aren't lucky (or smart) enough to develop a starting catcher of their own, there is always a group of journeyman catchers ready to contribute.
No, this will not be, as many thought, the offseason of Joe Mauer. But with a few legitimate starting catchers on the market, teams will have options.
