49ers open softball season at Fresno State Tournament Friday-Sunday
LBSU will play five games in three days
Brown has previously guided 49er players to three consecutive Big West Freshman Pitcher of the Year awards, and has helped four pitchers earn the honor in her time with Long Beach State. The first came in 2007, when Bridgette Pagano earned the award, and then Brooke Turner followed in her footsteps, while also earning second-team All-America and first-team All-West Region honors. Taylor Petty kept the streak going in 2009 as she was also a first-team all-conference selection. After one season without a freshman pitcher on the roster, Erin Jones-Wesley won the award in 2011, while also being named the Big West Conference Pitcher of the Year, first-team All-Big West and second-team All-West Region.
Including Jones-Wesley, Brown has also helped five pitchers earn Big West Conference Pitcher of the Year awards, including three straight from 2004 to 2006. That total includes co-honors for Meredith Cervenka and Marcel Torres in 2004 and 2005. Long Beach State has also had at least one pitcher named first-team All-Big West in 10 of Brown's 11 years as the 49ers' pitching coach. Last year, Jones-Wesley once again earned first-team All-Big West honors, becoming just the seventh player in Big West history to receive the honor all four years, with all four coming under the guidance of Brown.
Under Brown's tutelage, the 49ers have finished with an earned run average of over 3.00 only three times. In 2004, the 49ers posted a 1.22 season ERA en route to a Big West Championship run and a 51-13 overall record, the best under Brown, and in 2011, the 49ers set a school record with 361 strikeouts as a staff.
Brown, nee Swenson was a standout pitcher at UCLA under long-time former Bruin coach Sue Enquist. She was an honorable mention All-Pac 10 selection in 2000, posting a 10-1 record with five shutouts and three one-hitters. Brown finished the 2000 campaign with a 0.81 ERA in 77.2 innings pitched. After her playing days, Brown helped out the Bruin coaching staff with recruiting.

Hmmm, These replies aren't very accurate. You can have a hospital birth and pain drugs in the Netherlands, no problem... All my friends had hospital births with drugs. In my research there are twice as many mothers dyeing during childbirth in the US as Netherlands. It seems like a better place to have a baby. The US system really overuses surgery.

Should be here in a few days.
Brakeside stay bracing. Larger diamater TT, DT, and chainstays. Chainstays and DT with 0.3mm thicker walls. Larger weld area and larger diamater to stiffent hings up and give less need for extra gussets. IMO, cleaner aesthetically.
Moderate headtube rings and gussets. The fork/headset I run, and how I run it will give me a 68.5 degree head angle with sag
Sliding drops, just purely for versatility. Rohloff or SS later? Play with my chainstay length? Sure!
All the parts from this are being swapped over.
This is getting the rigid/SS treatment. Sold my old SS after developing a taste for slacker geometry bikes, and not caring for its 71/71 angles. This'll much better suit.
Only changes to sizing and geometry from the old frame to the new: 0.5" longer TT and headtube; less spacer under my stem taht way. Fatty tire room. All standard sized stuff. I'd played with the idea of a 1.5" headtube, but decided to stick with the 1-1/8" setup

text: Today New Line Cinema launched their official website for Final Destination 3, which we showed you the poster for two days ago here. To watch the trailer, you just need to check out the website by clicking above, and hopefully you've got a good connection (and a good computer) or you won't be able to watch it. Set six years after the original Final Destination film, the latest installment in the series, which hits theaters February 10th, centers around a high school senior who has a premonition of a fatal roller coaster accident involving herself and all her friends. When the premonition proves true, those who have "cheated death" and survived the accident are forced to deal with the repercussions of escaping their fate. Cheating Death: Final Destination 3 stars Ryan Merriman (The Ring Two) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The film is directed by James Wong (Final Destination).

"Cooking with friends — that's pretty much what my life has been about," writes Louise Pickerel of Muskogee, Oklahoma. "When I moved here from Texas ten years ago, it was hard to leave the people I'd known for so long, but I've probably met two hundred new people since then. I have always entertained, but now that I'm retired, I finally have more time to play bridge and cook."
Perfect for Thanksgiving, these warm hors d'oeuvres can be assembled a day ahead and chilled, then baked before serving.

NEED AN ANSWER TO A MISTAKE TO THIS RECIPE: I have made this recipe many times and thought I knew this recipe by heart...Can I make this recipe BEFORE I BROWN THE SAUSAGE. I mixed ALL THE INGREDIENTS together BEFORE BROWNING THE SAUSAGE. I am chilling the balls and will put into the mushrooms caps just before baking. Will these sausage balls be cooked enough or should I brown balls and then put into mushroom caps and reheat?
I make stuffed mushrooms several times a year - but have never tried the cream cheese suggested in this recipe. Per usual, they flew off the platter - everyone loved them. My slight modifications: 1. use fresh garlic - powered garlic is an insult to the other amazing ingredients 2. used spicy sausage and red pepper flakes - the cc dulls it all down. Cut the CC amount also - per a previous reviewer - you want the CC to bind the other ingredients and add depth.. not turn the stuffing into a creamy consistency. Add chopped fresh parsley at the end before serving... it is a bright addition to an overall dark dish - and we eat with our eyes first.
i've been making this dish for years. office parties. holiday parties. friends. family. acquaintances. people consistently rave about this dish. it's easy and a crowd pleaser every time.
These were AMAAAAAZING. I would suggest reading the reviews and taking note of some of the modifications that others made - they really helped me. Seriously though just make these - a little effort is worth the aweomse results!
Simply the best appie recipe I have found on Epicurious...these have been in my arsenal for years and are always a big hit...Yummm!
Delicious. Will definitely make for more parties in the future. These were eaten so quickly by everyone that came over.
I used fresh finely chopped garlic sauteed with the sausage instead of garlic powder in the cream cheese mixture. I also cut out 1/3 the cream cheese(I don't like too much cream cheese). They turned out very nice.
Absolutely great!! I did not change a thing. I made them tonight for company and they were a huge hit. I will make them again for sure.
These stuffed mushrooms are always a hit. I do not alter the recipe - use spicy hot italian sausage and follow the recipe as written. Been making these for parties since I was given the recipe by my daughter several years ago.

He says right now - officers are being pulled from other zones to help out in Northwest Jacksonville but says that doesn't mean other zones aren't being patrolled or are unsafe. He plans to push for more money for sworn officers and community service officers in the next budget meeting....Rob? 3 Question: Where did the Sheriff come up with the money for "Operation Ceasefire"? Adrienne: The sheriff says it will be financed through money that's been set aside for the summer months when schools are out and there tend to be more problems. 3

Webcomic: Counting
Counting is a 7 page webcomic written by Al Arcand more commonly known as Mr Sticky or Mr Sticky 005, drawn by Geoff Mosse and lettered by Anthony Pierno. It is about a suspicious man in the small town of Thirston. Despite its relatively short length the comic is complete.Counting can be read here.
Tropes used include:
- Adult Fear: A newspaper article reads that deadly bacteria was found missing from a military research lab. Later the town of Thirston is poisoned by a mysterious man acting as Sanitation Engineer working on the water tower. A cop later says that the man is a Colonel, showing that their may be a connection between the missing bacteria and the fake Sanitation Engineer.
- Anyone Can Die: Not just anyone...everyone.
- Blood from the Mouth: The Police Officer and others cough up blood from drinking the contaminated water.
- Hazardous Water: Thirston's entire water supply is poisoned by the Colonel acting as a Sanitation Engineer.
- Kill It with Water: The Colonel kills everyone in the town with the town's poisoned water supply.
- Meaningful Name: Thirston. The story has quite a bit to do with water or being thirsty.
- Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here: The town of Thirston.
- No Name Given: None of the characters are named. The main character is at one point called "Colonel" but Colonel isn't an actual name but rather a rank in the military. Aside from that only the town itself has a name—-Thirston.
- Villain Protagonist: The Colonel. He poisons an entire town of people.

Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip: Easy Crowd PleaserUrvashee Patel | Dessarts
Need a quick appetizer dish for your next dinner party? This easy to prepare spinach artichoke dip is a definite crowd pleaser.
We seem to do a lot of spontaneous entertaining these days. An out of town college friend visits and we end up hosting an evening for all our friends to catch up with them. I'm not complaining. This often ends up being more fun (and easier for us and them) then trying to get to a restaurant where your party of 15 is stretched out over a long table. It's impossible to have a conversation and there's always the distraction of getting the kids to eat something.
We like to keep it casual and order in a pizza but I also try to have to have a few snacks and appetizers out for everyone to enjoy. One of my favorite go to dishes is this hot spinach and artichoke dip. It's almost just as easy as putting out the vegetable crudités and hummus. It looks like you made somewhat of fuss too even though it only takes a few minutes of prep time!
Most spinach artichoke dips require mayonnaise and sour cream. I don't ever use mayo so it makes little sense to buy a whole jar just for this dip. This recipe doesn't seem to need the mayo or sour cream. There's enough cheese in here to provide the same creaminess as mayo. It also uses reduced fat cream cheese. I think it tends to have a slightly more sour taste than the full fat cream cheese. This makes up for the tangy taste of the missing sour cream.
Everyone loves a good cheese dip. This one is creamy, flavorful and totally addictive. So go ahead, give this classic a try the next time you need to whip up a quick appetizer. For other appetizer ideas you can also try these make ahead mini Indian samosas. For another dip check out this Mexican layer dip.
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Recipe
- 1 can artichoke hearts, 14 ounces
- 3 cloves garlic, small
- 5 ounces baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon onion, minced
- 8 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Drain and rinse the artichokes
- Combine the artichokes, garlic cloves, spinach and onion in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
- Add the cheeses to the food processer, leaving a small amount of mozzarella aside to later sprinkle on top of the dip. Process until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cover and bake until the cheese has slightly browned. (about 5-10 minutes)
- Serve hot with slices of bread or unsalted pita chips.

Looks delish!
This looks mouthwatering.
Is it bad that I just want to sit on the couch today with an entire casserole dish of this and tortilla chips? It's odd, I'm not a fan of artichokes in general, but I can *never* turn down this dip. It must be all the cheese!
I've always made the traditional dip with the mayo, but I'm always willing to switch it up. Plus, I hardly need an excuse to try out a new cheesy dip :)

Update: A representative from Best Buy Canada has told Joystiq that any decision made regarding trades in the US "will not have any impact on Canada's operations at this point." The representative went on to say the trade-in program has been "very successful" in Canada and Best Buy Canada Ltd. has no plans to discontinue it.
Original: Although reports indicate that Best Buy America's used games trade-in operations will come to an abrupt end, Best Buy Canada continues to offer the used and trade programs in its own stores. On February 1, Industry Gamers reported E-Play, the company that distributed used game and trade kiosks to Best Buy and Walmart, suspended operations. Currently, neither major retailer appears to be pursuing replacement programs in stores.
In Canada, Best Buy and Future Shop both operate under the umbrella of Best Buy Canada Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of its American parent. The company currently runs used game and trade programs within stores of both brands, where customers are given a store credit toward other purchases in the store at each location's customer service desk. The process appears to be modeled closely after GameStop's approach, and the companies even offer similar multiple trade-in promotions (such as drastically slashing the value of games immediately following release).
Joystiq has contacted Best Buy Canada Ltd. for comment on the recent news affecting its American counterparts, and whether its own operations will change as a result, but has yet to hear back as of this publishing.
[Thanks, Nathan]

J'iRPAJ LAIWH 19Q4
Editor's Message
Although I don't always have the time to answer each of your letters (I wish I did),
please be assured that I do love to hear from our TSGS members and always read, word for
word, each of your comments and suggestions. This is your society, and I do want you all to
be pleased with this quarterly. Just let me know the type of format and material you prefer,
and I'll do my best to meet your expectations.
The best days are those when I receive genealogical material from you for possible
publication in STIRPES. It isn't always easy to decide which articles would be of the most
interest to our members; therefore, I spend a lot of time making my final choices. I hope that
you are pleased with them!
The lead story in this issue by Timothy Goeke, a San Antonio teenager, was
particularly intriguing and one that I felt you would all enjoy. Please read it -- bearing in mind
that Timothy was only a 16-year-old when he prepared this (and other material) two years ago
as part of a classroom assignment at San Antonio's John Marshall High School. His teacher,
Martin Soward, our TSGS District 20 Representative, generously shared it with me. After
reading Timothy's family history, I have gained a new respect for teenagers! What a thrill to
know that the younger generation is taking such an interest in genealogy!
Several of the articles in this issue were submitted last year as entries in the TSGS
Writing Awards Competition! The one entitled "Sir Grandpa" was one of these! I'm glad I
wasn't one of the judges for that competition, as it would have been difficult for me to decide
which of the many entries was the best. But I know you will enjoy this "Grandpa" story.
There is a definite need for genealogical "how to" material. If you have had an unusual
research experience or located some heretofore unknown source -- then please share such
information with your fellow members. Just put it in writing and send it along!
At the TSGS meeting in Austin in November, the Board voted to combine the TSGS
newsletter with S7TIRPES and publish only one publication per quarter. Therefore, do please
remember to send news of your upcoming seminars and other society information directly to
me. I promise to do my best to include your notices in an appropriate issue. But, I can't print it
if I don't have it! Let me hear from you. And a special thanks to those societies who have
placed my name or their newsletter and/or quarterly mailing lists. Please continue to do so!
Unfortunately this issue will be arriving at your home a few weeks later than usual. I
apologize for the delay and will try not to let it happen again. However, the past few months
have been very busy ones for me. Let me explain. Perhaps you have noticed that I have a new
name! After being a widow for two years, I have just remarried and my name is now officially
Mrs. Edward G. Pryor. Therefore, you don't have a new editor! Your editor has a new name!
Although my husband is not a genealogist, he is certainly destined to become one - out
of self defense, no doubt. We've been to the San Antonio Library a few times researching his
family history and have had some good results. We located his Pryor grandparents, Charles
Pryor and Alice (King) Pryor, on the 1900 census at Rusk in Cherokee County. His mother's
maiden name was Browning and we found his Browning grandfather (Lucious) on the 1880
census at Grapeland in Houston County - living at the residence of his future in-laws, William
W. Lively and Sarah (Dodson) Lively! Also, we've heard there is a Pryor cemetery on
Highway 259 near the city limits of Kilgore! Do any of you have any knowledge of these
families or this cemetery? We are tentatively planning to do some traveling this summer to do
personal on-sight research, at which time we hope to have the opportunity to visit with TSGS
members along the way! In the meantime, I look forward to hearing from each of you.

Our experts answer your questions about all aspects of buying, owning and selling a house
The market
My daughter and her fiancé are considering buying "half" a house. The house belongs to her fiancé's mother and her partner, who are hoping to move to Spain and wish to raise funds.
My daughter and her fiancé cannot afford a "whole" property at the present time and feel it would be a step on the property ladder. The other option that has been suggested would be for her fiancé's mother and partner to give the younger couple a large deposit to buy all of the house but retain certain rights of access if and when they return to England for any period.
I have reservations about both ideas. What possible complications could either of these plans hold?
Lorna Vestey writes: While I am slightly confused by the fact that the older couple "wish to raise funds" but at the same time are thinking they might "give the younger couple a large deposit", I also have reservations. There are a number of areas of concern for all parties, so do persuade them all to obtain professional advice from both a solicitor and an accountant.
Joint ownership by two couples in this way would raise a whole raft of financial issues on which they would have to obtain specialist advice, including possible tax liability and future death duty complications.
There are also a number of legal issues, including how this "joint ownership" would be structured. Would they be tenants-in-common? Would all have equal rights? How would disputes be dealt with? Suppose one couple wanted to raise a loan against "their" equity in the house? What would happen if later one couple wished to sell and the other did not, or if one of them separated?
Thirdly, there seem to me to be countless pitfalls on practicalities. To expect two couples, especially of different generations, to want the same décor, bathrooms, kitchens and style of furnishings would be asking a lot. Additionally, throw into the equation the timing or necessity for major works and an inequality of financial capabilities and you have more problems. Who will make decisions on renewing/changing things? Would the other party always chip in half the cost even if they did not think the work necessary/desirable?
Then there is the basic "whose home is this really?" question. Psychologically and emotionally won't it always be the present owners? Who will get the best bedroom? How will things work if the older couple decide for some reason to return to the United Kingdom and come back to live in this house? I believe that they would all find it nearly impossible to maintain serene family relationships in one of these complicated joint home/loan scenarios. Two women sharing a kitchen is notoriously likely to bring stress and two unrelated men sharing a home territory is almost certain to bring strife.
Many of these issues also apply in the loan-for-purchase scenario with the type of access arrangement you mention. This will certainly have tax implications, too.
While I am sure these arrangements are being proposed with the very best of intentions, will your daughter and her fiancé not in effect be both financing the Spanish venture and becoming family caretakers in a house to which they will be tied by having equity, while lacking many normal home-owners' rights and freedoms?
Personally, I would advise your daughter to wait, if necessary, to get on the property ladder as clear owners either of this house or another, perhaps more modest, place. They can then be free to make their own decisions on what they can do to their home, how they live and when they want to move. If her fiancé's mother sells her house and is able to help them with a deposit, that would be splendid.
There are shared ownership schemes run by many housing associations and other social landlords, for which your daughter and her fiancé might qualify. Ring the Housing Corporation (020 7393 2000) for information.

Points of law
Neighbourly sale
Our neighbours have kindly consented to allow us to purchase a small piece of land for a nominal sum to enable us to have a wider drive for our car. This piece of land will be at most 7ft by 12ft.
We are both in agreement that it can be shown on our deeds. Can you advise us as to the best and cheapest way to go about this? We want to ensure that if either of us sell in the future, there will be no problems over this land. We would add that our property is free of mortgage but our neighbours' is not.
David Fleming writes: While I can sympathise with your desire to cut costs, I am afraid that you may have serious difficulties when you come to sell your property unless the transaction is properly documented.
This will involve drawing up a plan clearly showing the piece of land to be sold which will have to be annexed to a conveyance or, if the land is registered, a transfer. This document will have to be registered at the Land Registry. In order to do this, you will have to complete the new Stamp Duty Land Tax form giving full details of the transaction, even though I have little doubt that no tax will be payable as I assume the amount to be paid is less than £60,000.
Accordingly, I would strongly advise you to instruct a solicitor. Your neighbours should also instruct a solicitor, although this is less essential since effectively all they have to do is to receive the money in return for the signed documentation.
Having said this, the fact that they do have a mortgage on his property gives rise to a further complication in that his mortgagees will have to consent to the transaction; otherwise, the Land Registry will refuse to register the transfer of the strip of land to you.
- David Fleming is head of the property litigation department at William Heath & Co.
Council refuses to act
The retired policeman who lives opposite allows his sons to operate a tree-surgeon business from his home.
I complained to the local council, which agreed that "a material change of use" had taken place. The owner refused to make a planning application or to relocate the business.
However, the council refused my request for enforcement, saying: "I appreciate that this conclusion will be disappointing but enforcement action should only be used where it is necessary to remedy serious planning harm." I understood and argued that the decisive issue was whether the breach unacceptably affected public amenity.
The council has discretionary powers in the matter of enforcement but is its reason for not acting correct?
John Winter writes: Local authorities' views on people who work from home has changed over recent years. A couple of decades ago, a business run from a private house was perceived as being detrimental to the amenities of an area. Now it is more often than not welcomed as a way of reducing rush-hour commuting.
You do not say if the ex-policeman's sons live in the house. If they do, and most of the floor area of the house remains in residential use, and if the appearance of the house has not been significantly altered, it is unlikely that planning permission would have been required.
You say that the council accepts that a "material change of use" has occurred, so there must be reasons why planning consent should have been obtained. Now that you have bought the matter to the attention of the council, it becomes its duty to decide whether it wishes to take enforcement action or not. It seems to me that the reason that the council gave you, that there is no serious planning harm, is reasonable.
I assume that the business is carried on in a discreet way and there are no large signs, no comings and goings of large lorries, no "shopfront". If I am wrong, there may be "harm" and the authority should apply enforcement procedures. If I am right, the local authority is right to take no action. It is not the job of authorities to hassle citizens unnecessarily, and I do not understand what would be the gain, to you or anyone else, if it was to do so in this case.

Money matters
Keep it in the family
My husband and I are planning to purchase a second property. We have two children (aged 18 and 21) and I wondered what the implications are of putting the house in all four of our names?
It would probably be a cash purchase but may have a small mortgage. If the children's share was less than 25 per cent initially, would it be possible to transfer a percentage of the share to them each year?
Presumably there are advantages as far as capital gains tax (CGT) is concerned when we eventually sell the property if it is owned by four people? Two of us are currently non-tax payers and my son may use the house as his main residence.
Maggie Fleming writes: Provided that your lender is happy for the property to be held by four people, there is nothing to stop you doing this. The initial gift to the children will be the cash invested, so there are no CGT implications on purchase. The gift will be a Potentially Exempt Transfer for inheritance tax (IHT) purposes and provided you live for seven years after making the gift, this will drop out of your estates.
Once the property has been purchased, any transfers to your children will be liable to CGT (as well as, potentially, IHT) if the amount of gain exceeds the annual personal exemption (currently £8,200 per person), so you would each need to keep an eye on this.
There are other possibilities to bear in mind. For example, if you rent the property out and your husband is a taxpayer but you are not, it might be advantageous for you to own half the property and only transfer a share to him when the property is to be sold.
However, you mention that your son may use the property as his main residence and, if that is the case, the most tax-efficient course of action would be for the property to be in his name (subject to the lender's approval). Of course, this might not be thought desirable for other reasons.

Bricks & mortar
Twelve years ago we had a kitchen refit. The units were well-fitted but all the cupboard doors came with their faces covered with a type of shrink-wrap, clear plastic as a protective treatment.
As this was virtually invisible, it went undiscovered for a long time. An appeal to the supplier about how to remove it has bought no response.
I am certain there is a simple treatment that will assist me to get it off and banish the very tatty look we are now having to endure.
David Snell writes: I have my doubts as to whether this is actually shrink-wrapping. You say that it has gone virtually undetected for 12 years. I think that this may be because what you are deducing as shrink-wrapping is actually the top film of the highly-polished surfaces.
Many of the high-gloss units and worktops get their shine from the addition of a very thin, transparent film. If this is damaged physically, chemically or through age, it starts to peel off. Many kitchen shops warn against such worktops for this very reason and will not guarantee the product beyond installation.
I fear that age has meant that the film is now breaking down and it is giving the appearance of tatty shrink-wrapping. I think that's why the manufacturers have ignored you. They know that there is nothing they can do and that your only real alternatives are new doors, possibly new worktops and maybe even a complete new kitchen.
Sewer slopes off
We have a problem with a blocking sewer. Our driveway is fairly long and the "fall" of the sewer pipe from the ground-floor lavatory seems to be insufficient. We ease the situation by always flushing twice, occasionally pouring buckets of water into the lavatories and mostly using the upstairs lavatory. This has limited the need to rod the sewer to five times in more than 30 years. Is it possible to lower the sewer pipe or to raise the ground-floor lavatory?
DS: I am presuming that your sewer runs down the driveway to a saddle connection on the main sewer in the road. The ideal slope for a sewer is 1:40 but plastic type piping can be laid as low as 1:100.
If your house was built more than 30 years ago, it is possible that your sewer pipes are made of clay. These have multiple joints and they may have sunk in one or more places, slowing off the fall or creating a length where the effluent holds. Get a camera survey done to check this is not happening or that no tree roots have invaded.
If it is simply the fact that the gradient is too low, there is very little you can do. The upstairs toilet may enter the pipe at a faster rate, and therefore make greater headway, but the problem is still there. Having to rod five times in 30 years is a pain but it is not that great an outlay. The cure would be to see if the mains sewer is low enough for you to re-lay the drain at a better gradient.
Alternatively, you could interrupt the run with a sump and macerating pump to lift the effluent to a higher level and allow it to fall by gravity to the sewer.

You can feel the misery wafting down the I-95 corridor from Boston as we speak. If it's true that Kevin Garnett is out for the entire postseason, then the entire postseason is going to be decidedly shorter than anticipated for the Celtics.
Sure, they can beat the Bulls without Garnett. But then what? The defending champs will be a very vulnerable team heading into the Orlando series, that's what.
I expect the Celtics to rally around the rest of their core, which is still as good as anyone else in the East other than Orlando and Cleveland. I'd expect Paul Pierce to continue in the role of emotional leader and crunch-time assassin. I'd expect Ray Allen to raise his game and shoot the ball even better. I'd expect the role players -- Eddie House, Leon Powe, Big Baby Davis, etc. -- to respond to the challenge. This is a proud group that will fight as long and as hard as possible to extend the Celtics' playoff life in the hopes that KG can make it back.
But Doc Rivers' comments on WEEI in Boston Thursday were decidedly grim.
"We're going to have to move on without him," Rivers said after watching Garnett try and fail to complete a 20-minute team run.
The Celtics aren't commenting on Rivers' interview with the radio station, whose website, WEEI.com, is oddly offline at the moment. Maybe from all the suicidal Celtics fans trying to find Rivers' audio clip.

The Greater Accra region
The Greater Accra region
Ghana has a strong reputation for being one of the friendliest countries in Africa, particularly in the capital Accra which is a hive of activity. The country offers the typical palm lined tropical beaches as well as areas of rainforest and plenty of remnants of a colonial past. Combining this with a long line of traditional African craft, art and culture makes Ghana a perfect country for tourists. Once part of the historic Ashanti culture, then conquered by the British during the colonial period Ghana seems to have emerged with a national identity that has only become stronger throughout the ages.
The climate in Ghana is typically tropical; the temperatures are hot and humid especially in the north. There are four distinct seasons with the two rainy seasons occurring between March to July and September to October with the former experiencing heavier precipitation. Other months are largely dry but slight rains can be experienced throughout the year.
The capital city Accra is one of Africa's most desirable destinations, the friendliness of the citizens is unparalleled making this city a perfect introduction to Africa. There are two main market places, each with a different specialty. The Kaneshie market on the west of the city sells mainly foods and spices and is a fantastic place to sample the local cuisine. On the other hand the central Makola Market is the place to head for souvenirs particularly beads, carvings or batik. Also worth seeing is the Arts Centre, which is the home of the best craft market in the country and is also packed with street performers and other entertainers. Accra is also famous for its nightlife, it hosts numerous bars and drinking spots but its real highlight is the dance clubs which fuse western dance music with traditional African dancing and music. Accra also has several good beaches within easy reach, the most convenient is Coco beach which is only a few miles from the city.
The other key destination in Ghana is Kumasi, this city was once the capital of the Ashanti kingdom and is a definite cultural centre. The main draw is the National Cultural Centre which is an enormous complex chronicling every aspect of Ashanti civilization. As well as the exhibits there is a library and an exhibition hall which offer visitors the opportunity to take workshops in traditional Ashanti dance or drumming. Also of note is the Manhyia Palace which despite its name is not as grandiose as Europeans come to expect. Other attractions include the zoo and the site of the famous Anokye Sword.
The villa is just 20 minutes drive from the airport and is also conveniently located a mere 50 metres from the main Spintex road. We are located at the Ranna Plaza/ Kingdom Furniture turnoff on the left opposite Ecobank down that road for 100 yards approaching from Tetteh Quarshie roundabout. Wwe are the two white houses with red tiled roof on the right on the left coming from Tetteh Quarshie roundabout
The location is within easy walking distance to all the local amenities including Ranna Plaza shopping mall, House mart grocery store, Mobile mart grocery store, air conditioned internet café and hairdressers. The pool bar and night club, Coastal bar, On the Run restaurants, Papa Ye restaurant and Fridays open air bar and night club are all within 5 minutes drive away along the Spintex Road.

"An oasis in the bustling city."
I went to this property after my family and I had suffered several bouts of malaria in central Ghana. We found the house to be very spacious (our family size is eight people), clean and practical. The kitchen is large and well equipped. There is a washing machine and adequate space to hang clothes. The TV has multiple channels with full sound system and DVD player. The swimming pool is well maintained and very refreshing. Each room has air conditioning and fans. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and cleaned the house spotlessly every three days. A most enjoyable stay in a good location near but not on a major road that has shops, restaurants and a fast food outlet. The only slight problem, which was out of the landlords hands is that I found MTN mobile broadband connectivity to be rather slow at the time. Having said that my family and I will be going back whenever we need a break. Our kids love it and now call it our second home in Ghana. Thanks Eddie!

Re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Up to 3 Majors now. Including my first ever Support to get that high. 2 inventory slots? Titan Armor + 3 Med Packs w/ Revive + Chitin Plating? Can you say invincible.
The Archangel Snip[er, now that I know how to use him, is downright overpowered on the open maps. Especially with a dude running around in with Ghost stirring up trouble.
The upgraded rocket launcher is pretty amazing too. Just need to get those Heavies levels a bit more. I do have the Shredder rocket for 2 of them though. Upgraded damage plus magic curving? Same trick as the Archangel for the most part, only for indoor battles. Ghost finds the cluster of enemies, then a Shredder + normal rocket from two heavies curving around walls pretty much kills everything. I did lose a Major-ranked Assault to a sneaky Chrysalid ambush in my last mission. That kind of hurt. But on the bright side he was the one whose abilities I was sort of regretting. My other Assault is going all the way down the right side on the choices. For when the rocket assault only softens up those pesky Sectopods... Rapid Fire Alloy Cannon w/ extra critical damage = game over.
All research complete, just need some more weapon fragments to finish off all the foundry projects. 2 countries in Asia at 2 panic, the rest of the world at one. Ironman Classic difficulty... I think you're done for

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or Asean, was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand, with the signing of the Asean Declaration by Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Since then, membership has expanded to include Brunei, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Its aims include accelerating economic growth, social progress and cultural development of its member states and the protection of regional peace and stability.
Indonesian foreign minister says Asean will remain united in face of China
Indonesian foreign minister says bloc does not want to be dominated by a single country, and unity is in the interests of all parties
Most Popular
Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa says Southeast Asian nations will stay united even as China and other major powers take a greater role in the region.
Natalegawa told the Sunday Morning Post on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit in Bali that the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations does not want to be dominated by a single country and that unity of the bloc serves the interest of all players in the region.
"China must also realise that a strong and united Asean is in its interest," Natalegawa said. "Security is a common good. If you want to have sustained security, prosperity and stability, then everyone must benefit from it."
Natalegawa's comments came after China elevated its ties with Indonesia and Malaysia to "comprehensive strategic partnerships" during state visits to the two countries by President Xi Jinping .
Immediately after Xi wraps up his tour on Tuesday, Premier Li Keqiang will go to Brunei for the East Asia Summit, followed by trips to Thailand and Vietnam.
The manoeuvres were widely seen as an attempt by Beijing to offset the United States' influence in the region and gain leverage over Vietnam and the Philippines over territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
Sino-Philippine ties have deteriorated in recent years because of the dispute.
Natalegawa said the elevation of Sino-Indonesian ties from a strategic partnership was a "reflection of China's positive contribution to the region's peace, stability and prosperity".
But he said it would benefit no one for Asean to be divided as it was during the cold war. He also said Asean welcomed increased involvement by Japan, which has been engaged in its own territorial dispute with China.
Asean does not see things in a "zero sum" relationship that only one nation can become prominent, Natalegawa said.
"Our region is sufficiently open and inclusive to ensure that all these countries can contribute in a positive way," he said.
Kishore Mahbubani, a Singaporean former diplomat and dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, said a united Asean ensures that the region will not be dominated by a major power.
"A divided Asean provides opportunities for other powers to come," he said.
Zhang Mingliang , a specialist in Southeast Asian affairs at Jinan University, said China was often seen as dividing the bloc by singling out the Philippines and counterbalancing other major powers in the region.
He said Asean's stress on inclusiveness and unity was a tactic to give the bloc the upper hand in dealing with relations with major powers.
