Happy little Harry potter cupboard.
Apart from the lack of cohesive signage on the door (which doesn't match the name of the hotel see on laterooms.com) everything was hunkydory.
Clean room, communicative and friendly staff in a fabulous location.

Blogs Liberty and Power Jon Stewart is No Good CorporalOct 31, 2010 5:00 am
Jon Stewart is No Good Corporal
In addition, the comedian failed to inquire as to why the President chose to follow the economic strategy of massive government interference employed by FDR when that course resulted in more than ten years of economic misery for the American people. Perhaps he did not want to embarrass Obama by pointing out that in 1938 five years after Roosevelt took over there were more people unemployed and more families on the dole then when he started us on the that ill conceived course in 1933. Maybe it would have been too painful for Obama to bring up the fact that twice in the last century, 1920 and 1980, the country was in just as bad economic distress as we are now and those in charge then, Harding and Reagan, did essentially the opposite of what Obama is doing now, which led in both cases to a quick recovery. Stewart also forgot to ask Obama how he planned to get the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor again.
In contrast to Jon Stewart we have people like Bradley Manning, Julian Assange, Daniel Ellsberg, and Sibel Edmonds. Chris Floyd has written a remarkably moving poem, The Good Corporal, and dedicated it to them.
The Good Corporal
Good corporal, good corporal, now what have you done?
You've laid out the dead in the light of the sun.
You've opened the door where the dark deeds go on,
Where the fine words of freedom are broken like bones.
Good corporal, good corporal, you tell us of crime
Done in the name of your country and mine.
Of torture and murder, corruption and lies,
In a land where no echo will carry the cries.
Good corporal, good corporal, now who do we blame
For the horrors you bring us, for this undying shame?
Should we lay all the guilt on the grunts with no name,
Or the high and the mighty who rigged up this game?
Good corporal, good corporal, don't you know the fate
Of all those who speak the hard truth to the State
And all who trouble the people's sweet dreams?
They're mocked into scorn and torn apart at the seams.
Good corporal, good corporal, what have you done?
You've laid out the dead in the light of the sun.
Jon Stewart is not a good corporal and I would argue that his silence is helping to kill innocent people.
Hat tip to Kenny Rodgers.

For an object lesson on Old Media liberal bias, read the transcript of the May 17 press briefing by White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan.
The recurrent themes jumping from the condescending reporters' questions were anti: President Bush, American military, U.S. Constitution, Republican Party, and pro: Democrat obstructionism, terrorist-sympathizing and Old Media arrogance, unaccountability and elitism. I can provide but a few examples in a short column, but they're telling.
Question: "Scott, the Senate has managed to function -- or not function, as the case may be -- for more than 200 years without a ban on judicial filibusters. Is the president concerned about the historic nature of what's being talked about up on the Hill?"
Excuse me, but there has been no ban on judicial filibusters for 200 years because there haven't been any -- other than a bipartisan one involving Abe Fortas. Apart from the press's flagrant liberal bias, it is incomprehensible that the questioner could twist the Republican's corrective response to a Democratic breach of historic precedent into a wrong by Republicans.
Question: "Where in the Constitution are judicial nominees guaranteed an up-or-down vote? And what about the impact of this whole so-called 'nuclear option' on this idea of equal representation by the Senate?"
Can you imagine how many additional useless pages the Constitution would contain if the Framers had been as vacuous as this questioner? Is this person suggesting that every place the Constitution specifies a certain power it must contain an explicit clause to restate the obvious for the IQ-challenged? The Constitution vests the judicial appointment power in the president, subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. Should James Madison have proposed an additional clause saying, "Oh, and we almost forgot, we expect the Senate to exercise its constitutional responsibility to vote on the president's nominees because otherwise the president's appointment power will be meaningless"? Truly, this is almost too silly for words.

i love sampling skincare items from birchbox ONLY if it's a sample that will last me a month. I know that seems like a long time and a big sample but I feel as if you have to use a skincare item for at least a month for it to show you results. I received the bigger sample of DDF through my mom's august birchbox and she didn't like it. i've been using it for about a month and i LOVE IT! & only half the bottle is gone. that is the way to give skincare sample. NOT in foil packets.2
While my face did feel soft and smooth after using this, I really don't like how my skin seems to have a film on it after using this. I think it is the glycerin that makes it feel like it doesn't rinse clean. It reminded me of Noxzema that I used to use in the early 90's. The review wants us to answer if this product has anti aging or discoloration properties, but how are we supposed to answer that if we only have enough in the sample to use it a few times? I'd have to use a product for at least a couple weeks to notice properties such as those.2
The packaging of this sample was adorable. The face wash came out looking like it had been piped out of an icing tip- which i thought was very unique and refreshing.
The face wash smells great and has a smooth texture during use but I found that it left my skin feeling a little stripped of moisture after use. I have combination-oily skin,

In January 1994 Francis Chao died, and PRP, the research-and-development company he had founded 10 years earlier in Watertown, Mass., nearly died with him.
It was a crisis of nearly insurmountable proportions. PRP's main product -- infusible platelet membranes to be used in the treatment of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy -- was still not ready for Food and Drug Administration clinical trials at the time of Chao's death. PRP was running low on working capital, but since it didn't have an obvious management successor in place, its investors were unwilling to contribute additional funds.
Fortunately, PRP had a $2.5-million key-man insurance policy on its 56-year-old CEO. "That policy was the only reason PRP survived its founder's death," says senior vice-president Richard D. Whiting. "We needed money to carry us through to the point where we'd have some FDA clinical-trial results and new management in place."
Whiting, who works jointly for PRP and for one of its largest investors, Dynamics Technology, offers some advice for other companies weighing the pros and cons of key-man insurance:
· The thinner the top-management ranks, the more you need the protection. "In a case like PRP's," says Whiting, "where Dr. Chao was the main person responsible for running the company, directing research, and attracting investors, you need more insurance than in a case where there are more people near the top."
· You'll need more coverage than you imagine, so buy as much as your company can afford. In retrospect, Whiting believes that a more accurate assessment of PRP's key-man needs would have been $5 million to $10 million. (One reason: If Chao's widow had wanted the company to purchase his 50% stock stake, that would have eaten up the insurance proceeds, leaving nothing for working capital.)
"Unfortunately, there's no science involved in making the assessment. You just come up with an estimated range and then buy as much coverage as your company can afford," Whiting says. PRP's annual policy fee was $7,800 in its last year.
· Keep reevaluating your coverage level. "In a growth situation, the value of your key man keeps changing, so it makes sense to recheck your coverage levels yearly," Whiting advises. If you broaden management ranks, you may be able to reduce coverage. "But in a case like PRP's, where our capital needs kept getting greater the closer we got to clinical trials, we really needed to be increasing Dr. Chao's coverage."
Although a bigger policy might have been desirable, Chao's policy did achieve the goal of keeping his company alive. With new management and scientific leadership in place, PRP was able to raise $2 million more from investors, which carried it through some successful FDA trials. For now, says Whiting, "we're in great shape."

The hospital CEO's handbook on physician relations used to be relatively straightforward. All you really had to do was meet with the clinical staff leaders every now and then. When the folks in white coats made the inevitable pleas for a new piece of equipment or to transfer a troublesome nurse, the CEO could take it all "under advisement." The physicians needed the hospital; after all, it was the only place to admit their sick patients. It was also the only place with those rooms full of big, expensive CT scanners. Hospitals helped those physicians make a good living and enjoy the social benefits of being a doctor in the community.
But soon the expensive clinical technology wasn't quite as expensive anymore, and physicians realized they didn't need the hospital quite as much. CEOs suddenly found themselves balancing a complex string of relationships with key physician partners that encompassed everything from basic satisfaction issues to increasingly intricate and creative business partnership models. Physicians became powerful—in some cases so powerful that CEOs have had to make concessions that seemed unimaginable a few years earlier, such as paying for emergency room call. Today's CEOs have lost the upper hand, and they are not happy about it, says Richard Sheff, M.D., chairman and executive director of The Greeley Co. (Both The Greeley Co. and HealthLeaders Media are owned by HCPro Inc.)
"CEOs are basically being put in a position where a physician comes in and says, 'I want to take my business out.' And the CEO is in a position where they have to ask, 'Can I have half of it?'" Sheff says.
The rules for successful partnerships with physicians are rewritten every day, but experts say a few best practices are emerging to help hospital senior leaders manage the new reality.
Get your head around a new context
Management guru Jim Collins, who recently shared his leadership mantra during the American Hospital Association's annual leadership summit, writes that industries must "confront the brutal facts." In the new relationship between hospitals and physicians, one fact that CEOs and boards may not want to hear is that physicians are the hospital's competitors, partners, collaborators, customers and employees, all at the same time, Sheff says. "It is a complex, multilayered relationship to manage. The CEOs and their boards need to know that and get over it."
The new context does not necessarily mean one that is driven purely by money. Jon Foster, CEO of St. David's HealthCare, a seven-hospital system in Austin, Texas, says that in the past few years he has seen the hospital-physician relationship transform into one that emphasizes the transactions that can be made, rather than the relationships that can be built. In recent years, Foster has worked to make sure his system's relationships with its approximately 2,000 allied physicians strike a balance between those two perspectives.
"I feared that in response to so much pressure economically that sometimes people can get overly transitional and lose sight of the relationship," he says. "I don't think either one of those at the extreme end is ultimately successful."
Take your beating
When Shawn D. Morrow, CEO of Logan Medical Center, a 25-staffed-bed critical access hospital in Guthrie, Okla., was interviewing for his job, he recalls the chief of the medical staff being downright hostile.
When Morrow got the job, the relationship remained chilly. He finally pulled the physician leader aside and asked what the problem was. "He told me that working with the hospital was like running against a 40-mile-an-hour Oklahoma wind." So Morrow asked if he could join the physician's daily lunchtime runs to feel what that "against the wind" experience was like. "For the first month, he just vented," Morrow says. But eventually the two developed a dialogue and a level of cooperation. Today, instead of division, the hospital has 100 percent physician participation in meetings for annual strategic planning, Morrow says.
In some cases, trust may be so broken that communication has made both sides defensive to the point of entrenchment. A few fortunate administrators may be able to move physician relationships forward without addressing the past, but in many cases, lead administrators may have to deal with old grudges.
Sheff says he met with one medical staff that was so angry with the hospital that they would not hear word one. So he organized a meeting where physicians were allowed to air their concerns, and the CEO was forced to listen without interrupting.
Win something together
Some doctors are not trained to be patient. They are used to gathering facts quickly to make a diagnosis, then either medicating it, radiating it or cutting it out. "It is not just, 'fix it.' It is, 'fix it now,'" says Kenneth H. Cohn, M.D., a practicing surgeon and author of Better Communication for Better Care: Mastering the Physician-Administrator Collaboration.
Hospital administrators come from a different lot. They are accustomed to dealing with long processes and projects that may consume multiple resources and take years to complete. And administrators often deal with intractable issues—like the uninsured—that are beyond their power to fix.
Hospital leaders may want to consider creating some opportunities to demonstrate small victories to their physician partners, says Cohn. Even if the overall task is a long one, like a strategic initiative, it can be broken up with an emphasis on reporting results on a timetable at regular intervals—preferably every two weeks or monthly. "That chunking up of a large task into multiple pieces conveys a sense of momentum, accomplishment and quick wins," Cohn says.
Don't make the project more complex than it has to be, Sheff advises. Rapid-cycle improvement projects are an opportunity for the CEO to demonstrate action. "And if they see you can act, then they might be more patient in the places where you have to work through a process."
Delegate some, but not all
Physician relations consistently tops the list of hospital CEO concerns, but that does not necessarily mean hospital CEOs must always shoulder the burden for those relationships.
Foster says he personally tries to keep up with a group of 40 to 50 of his key physician partners. But keeping up with them is more difficult than ever. "You don't have the traditional medical staff structure to rely on to create the venue for the interaction," he says. "In many instances, it is not about herding cats, it is about finding the cats."
St. David's has consolidated physician recruiting and physician relations into one office that reports directly to the CEO. The physician relations staff is used in the traditional role of a sales function for the hospital's services, but they also play a role in information gathering and feedback, Foster says.
The CEO may consider delegating some physician relationships to other members of the senior leadership team, with each member taking six or seven key physicians, Sheff says. Physicians will respond to structured access, whether it is through the CEO or the management team, as long as they feel their concerns are being addressed.
But some relationships can't be taken off the CEO's list. When it comes to the superstars—those heavy admitters who could walk away with significant revenue—the CEO had better be in their back pocket.
"For those physicians who are accounting for a very significant portion of the revenue of the hospital, yes, he or she needs to know what the issues are and respond in a personal and timely kind of way," Sheff says.
Cohn advises administrative leaders to understand that those "key" physicians may not necessarily be department chairs. The department chair may or may not filter the CEO's message down to those other key physicians, because those physicians may not be in a team atmosphere. It has been said, Cohn adds, that "when most physicians think of a team, they think of a golf team."
Strike first, strike hard
If the competition is in the physician's ear about how great it would be to get out of the hospital, the CEO may want to preemptively strike. Cohn says that at virtually every national physicians' meeting there are operators reaching out to doctors—and often, by the time CEOs reach out to physicians, it is too late.
Although it may be that overall the hospital is not as powerful as it used to be, the institution still has facilities, infrastructure and brand identity heavily weighted to its benefit, Cohn says. The hospital enjoys certain advantages in purchasing high-tech equipment, can often access capital at a lower rate than physicians and has market power in reimbursement from payors.
Also bear in mind that some would-be physician entrepreneurs are bluffing.
"Most physicians don't have MBAs, and they don't want to get involved with things like OSHA and OSHPD," he says.
Create opportunities to understand physicians
Hospital senior leaders generally know what busy physicians do during the day, but it may be helpful to understand how their hectic schedules can often make interaction with the administration tense or impossible.
"It is a state of siege from the time you go in until the time you leave," says Cohn. "There is very little time for reflection. And if one thing goes wrong, it pretty much blows up the schedule, which causes people to be frustrated and often lash out."
Sheff says leaders may consider opening—or reopening—a physician's dining room. Aside from the obvious time-saving benefits of keeping the physicians on the premises, it helps strengthen the medical staff culture and creates a place for daily interaction with the administration somewhere other than a meeting room. But wherever the interaction, the goal is the same: "Get inside the physicians' heads. They will not do a lot of that for you. You need to figure out what is really important to them," Sheff says.
Feedback tools like physician satisfaction surveys have their place, but they're not a substitute for interaction, Foster says. "If surveys are all you ever rely on, you are dead. Usually that is pretty delayed information, and you are only getting feedback from people who bothered to fill out the survey to begin with."
Share information, even if it hurts
Transparency is not a new buword in hospitals, but experts say the damage can be especially acute in physician relations if all parties are not working off of the same sheet of information.
"You have to share the good results and the bad results," Cohn says. "Because people will hear about the bad results, and they will hear about them in a way that may not have been accurate. The transparency can be a bridge to trust. As people come to understand the complexity of hospital administration, very few physicians will say, 'I could do that job better.'"

Cultivating Winning Ways
Healthcare is not the only industry with a power play between management of the enterprise and its highly skilled stars. In the National Football League, owners have to take athletes with very different skills and merge them into one team with a common set of standards, all fitting under the organization's budget. Sound familiar?
True, there is no business like the healthcare business. But that doesn't mean other industries haven't learned a few tricks for forging skilled teams:
From worst to first
Robert Kraft, chairman and CEO of the New England Patriots, was already successful in business when in 1994 he purchased the floundering football team for $172 million. Under Kraft's stewardship, the Patriots have become the NFL's model franchise—a success largely credited to the Patriots' culture of teamwork and an absence of individualism. The team won three Super Bowl trophies in four years, compiled a record-setting 21-game winning streak and developed a $325 million state-of-the-art stadium in Foxborough, Mass., through private investment.
Kraft credits these achievements to staying true to his organization's vision and surrounding himself with stellar performers. "As a business philosophy, you have to remain disciplined during the good times and the bad," he says. "You have to plan and run your business for those tough times. In the end, I don't think most people have that ability to persevere and get through the tough times."
Kraft allows the coaching staff the freedom to run the team, but he has insisted that all members of his organization meet his high standards of professional conduct. "You have to hire the right people who know how to execute," he says. "Our players, coaches and managers have to be people of good character who perform the way we want them. We have a saying with the Patriots: 'Great players go to the Pro Bowl, but great teams go to the Super Bowl.' The key to success in any industry is to assemble a great team."
Flying high
In 2005, Fortune magazine listed Dallas-based Southwest Airlines as No. 5 among America's top 10 most-admired corporations. The nation's largest domestic air carrier serves 62 cities in 32 states and operates more than 3,000 flights per day. As executive vice president of customer operations, Donna Conover oversees Southwest's ground operations, reservations, inflight operations and provisioning. She stresses the importance of providing sincere gestures of gratitude to members of the organization, no matter their rank or role.
"Everyone wants to be recognized for a job well-done," Conover says. "And people at the top don't keep the planes moving, so we need to support our talented people. That's something Southwest Airlines does well, and it has become part of our corporate culture."
Even talented staff members can have personality issues that make working with them difficult. Conover suggests taking great care when selecting employees and partners. "This is a customer service business inside and out," she says. "We want to treat each other as well as we treat our customers." She cautions that once you've partnered with a prima donna, you shouldn't expect his or her attitude to change. "They will resist any attempt by the culture to change their behavior," she says. "If you've hired a prima donna, you just have to treat them as such."
Deal with disruption
Industrial and organizational psychologist Doug Reynolds, Ph.D., is the vice president of assessment technology at Development Dimension International, a human resource consulting firm headquartered in Bridgeville, Pa. As a researcher of workplace psychology, he has developed management simulators for various industries, including healthcare. Reynolds points out that many leaders do not actively deal with issues at the management level. "Don't let minor issues become critical issues," he says. "Set clear expectations for what you want done and how you want it done."
Reynolds says gathering information about the effects of disruptive behavior can show the individual the perceptions he or she is creating. "Only then can you start the dialog about changing behavior," he says.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Honoring Palm Beach County Sports Legends
The Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame was created to recognize and honor the outstanding achievements and contributions of local athletes, coaches, administrators, media, and others in the field of sports.
Established in 1977
In 1977, after years of covering local sports, veteran sportswriter Chuck Otterson decided the time was right to formally recognize the accomplishments of area athletes. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission has been involved with this event since 2004, developing it into the successful program it is today.
Selection Process
Nominations are made by the general public and members of the Hall of Fame Committee. Candidates must have been born, attended school, or achieved their major sports accomplishment in Palm Beach County in order to be considered for the Hall of Fame. Nominations are reviewed and committee members and past inductees select the individuals welcomed annually into the Hall of Fame.
Annual Recognition Banquet
Each year in early spring the inductees are honored at a gala banquet. Their lifetime of outstanding contributions in sports is recognized as they are inducted into the elite membership of the Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame. Also honored during this banquet is Palm Beach County's Amateur Athlete of the Year, Professional Athlete of the Year, Coach of the Year, Outstanding Sports Contributor, High School Coach of the Year, High School Athlete of the Year and Special Olympics Athlete of the Year.
Permanent Home
Roger Dean Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals and Florida Marlins Spring Training, became the permanent site of the Palm Beach County Sport Hall of Fame in 2004. Banners commemorating inductees for each year from 1977 hang around the stadium concourse and are viewed each year by hundreds of thousands of people attending events at the stadium.
Paver Commemoration
The Hall of Fame Committee continues to perpetuate the memories of departed Hall of Fame Members with the Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame "Paver Program". The program consists of a brick that has the name of the deceased member and the year of induction into the Hall of Fame engraved on the stone. The City of West Palm Beach has kindly donated prime space in Centennial Square downtown to allow a permanent memorial of inductees that have passed away.

Earlier this year we reported on how cosmetics giant Shiseido was opening its online mall in Japan. Aptly named 'Beauty Platform,' the venture was planned to extend e-commerce activities to the US and China as well.
Yesterday the Wall Street Journal reported that Shiseido will begin e-commerce services in China starting today. It plans to launch a site for new products called Pure & Mild Soi, which are "developed specifically for the Chinese mail-order market."
Normally we wouldn't be especially interested in the activities of a cosmetics maker, but the company is making a pretty bold move going it alone, rather than opting for an official store with Rakuten/Baidu or a shopfront on a Taobao TMall. Given the built-in audience that those platforms already have, it seems like a logical choice for a foreign brand.
But although Shiseido is technically foreign, it is far from unknown in China. This year marked the company's 30th year in the country dating all the way back to 1981. The anniversary was commemorated with a special website for its 'Future Beauty Project' shiseidochina30th.com.cn, and called for applications for future models, hair or make up artists. Regrettably, I've missed the deadline…
You can see the promo video from earlier this summer below.

Denver Broncos recorded eighth consecutive win with victory over the Oakland Raiders
Peyton Manning threw his 30th touchdown pass of the season as the Broncos recorded a 26-13 win over the Raiders.
Last Updated: 08/12/12 5:28pm
Manning connected with Joel Dreessen with a six-yard pass on the opening drive of the match to set the Broncos (10-3) on their way to an eighth consecutive win.
Manning completed 26-of-36 passes for 310 yards, while Knowshon Moreno ran for 119 yards and a score on a career-high 32 carries
Kicker Matt Prater also kept the scoreboard ticking over, with field goals from 43, 34, 20 and 33 yards.
The Raiders were guilty of coming out for the game flat and were 13-0 down before they gave themselves half-a-chance.
Phillip Adams intercepted Manning to set the Raiders on an 80-yard drive down field before Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer connected with Darren McFadden for a touchdown.
However the Raiders (3-10) failed to build on that - and had to wait until the final quarter for their next score. Palmer threw a 56-yard pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey for a consolation touchdown.
Palmer finished with 273 yards from 19-of-30 passes.
Denver will now face Baltimore next week in a clash that will help decide who gets a first-round play-off bye.

I don't really know how to rate this mod.. It feels like a troll in all honesty. The Lich King working with Vashj.. Naga and Demons? This makes no sense lore wise and the majority of the 'new' models are just ripped from World of Warcraft. Alot of bugs and also has very bad English which if the mod had a good backstory/plot etc then the bad English would certainly not detract from this.
I was excited when I first came across this mod as I've been a massive Warcraft fan since Warcraft III but this mod added nothing interesting in the least to the Warcraft story.

Posted Apr 25 2011 6:19AM
NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks hadn't won a postseason game since 2001, and the Boston Celtics hadn't swept a playoff series since 1992. So something had to give when the two teams met for Game 4 of their first round series at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon.
With the Knicks banged up and the Celtics playing better each game, New York's streak will live on for at least another year. Meanwhile, Boston moves on to face the Miami Heat or the Philadelphia 76ers in the conference semifinals, thanks to a 101-89 victory that completed a four-game sweep.
When the series began a week ago, it was about a rivalry, six All-Stars, and a battle between a great offense and a great defense. But with the passing of each game, it became only about the Celtics' ability to get themselves into playoff form in preparation for what should be an epic series with the Heat, who still have some business to take care of after dropping Game 4 in Philadelphia on Sunday.
Simply, the Celtics were the better team in this series. As long as they played like it, they were going to move on -- no matter how healthy the Knicks were.
There were some scary moments for the Celtics in the first two games and a big Knicks run near the end of Game 4. But for the most part, the defending Eastern Conference champs kept the Knicks' high-octane offense in check, allowing New York to score more than 24 points in a quarter just once in each game.
Offensively, the Celtics were inconsistent, as they had been for the season's last two months. But they exploded in Game 3 and were cruising offensively until late in the third quarter of Game 4 on Sunday. That should be considered progress.
"What you saw is how our season went at times," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said afterward. "We are playing well ... we are playing well, and then we go away from it for awhile. Fortunately, we came back to it."
It wasn't a perfect four games for sure. But over the two days in New York, the Celtics took a step forward in their quest for banner 18.
Where the Celtics were strongest was in their late-game execution. They finished Game 1 on a 9-3 run. They finished Game 2 on an 8-2 run. And when the Knicks cut the Celtics' lead down to four in the fourth quarter of Game 4, Rajon Rondo orchestrated a stretch of five buckets on six possessions to put the game away.
Rondo is perhaps the Celtics' most important player, especially with the way teams try to defend him. And he has seemingly awaken from his late-season slumber, playing aggressively and averaging 19.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 12.0 assists in the series.
"When he plays with that type of energy, we are almost unstoppable," Paul Pierce said. "He has to carry a lot on his shoulders, but we know he is capable of that. Tonight, you see me and Ray [Allen] didn't shoot the ball particularly well. Rondo you see was rebounding, scoring and getting assists. That shows you how important he is to our team."
With Rondo playing well, Rivers' primary concern going into Game 4 was his bench. And he finally got a strong performance out of them on Sunday. They built on the Celtics' lead in the first half instead of letting it slip away, with Glen Davis scoring 14 points on 6-for-8 from the field.
For the Knicks and their fans, this series was three years in the making. Season one of the New York NBA revival came to a frustrating end, with Chauncey Billups and Amar'e Stoudemire each getting injured in the first two games of the series. But in the end, the Garden was once again a place where fans had pride in the home team.
The Knicks still have a lot of work to if they want to contend for a title. They don't need to add another star, but they do need to get much better defensively. Whether it comes with a change to the coaching staff or with changes to the roster, New York must improve on that end of the floor, or they won't be getting much further than they did this season.
The good news is that they've got more top-line talent than most teams in this league. And it's just a matter of building chemistry and adding the right complementary pieces around Anthony and Stoudemire.
"The sky is the limit," Anthony said of his on-court relationship with Stoudemire. "We're going to make it work."
The time for that will come next fall. Right now, the Celtics need to make it work against Miami or Philadelphia. That will require more consistency than they showed against the Knicks.
"We didn't play well for four games," Rivers said. "But we did play well Game 3 and we did play well in Game 4. We kind of figured out what we needed to do offensively and defensively, and we stuck to the game plans."
Knowing how inconsistent the Celtics have been this season, Rivers still can't tell you how good his team is. But he can't be too unhappy with how this series went.
"We do some things that drive us all nuts," he said, "but at the end of the day, they have a way to play together. They trust each other, and as a coach, that's all you can ask for."

Learn more about graduating with Latin Honors as an ENVS major.
The University of Colorado offers motivated students the opportunity to distinguish themselves by graduating with "Latin Honors." Latin Honors means that your diploma will note that you are receiving a special Honors designation of either summa cum laude, magna cum laude, or cum laude. Whereas some colleges confer these honors based solely on a student's grade point average, receiving Latin Honors at CU means a student has also successfully completed an Honors Thesis Project.
Two Options for Graduating with Honors
You can choose to do an Honors Thesis Project either through a department or the Honors Program; most students who graduate with Honors have completed Departmental Honors requirements. If you have an interest in the Arts and Sciences Honors Program classes or want to do a General Honors Thesis, please click here to get more information.
Eligibility for Doing an Honors Thesis Project in Environmental Studies
The Environmental Studies Honors Program is open to all ENVS majors. The most basic requirement is your grade point average (GPA). The college requirement is that your GPA be 3.3 or above; however, in ENVS you can do a project if you have a GPA of 3.0 or above. You can find the complete list of ENVS Departmental Honors Requirements defined at the end of this document.
ENVS Honors Thesis Project
An Honors Project is a self-directed, independent project that produces something new, creative, or otherwise useful in the field of environmental studies. You do this project with the guidance of faculty members, but it remains your project and not a faculty project. You receive assistance in developing a topic and project as part of the ENVS Honors process during which time you identify a minimum of 3 faculty who will serve as advisors on your thesis committee (one of the three is normally the ENVS Departmental Honors Director).
The A & S Honors Program Web site describes the Honors Thesis as demonstrating "scholarship, originality, and thoroughness in a particular topic or field of study." Because environmental studies is an interdisciplinary program, the range of topics is much more broad and interdisciplinary than projects in most departments.
Historically, Honors projects in Environmental Studies have included topics and faculty from every college and department on campus, including fine arts, dance, law, business, engineering, architecture and design, education, music, foreign languages, English, economics, philosophy, international studies, as well as all of the natural, social, and behavioral sciences.
Honors projects come in three general varieties: creative projects; primary research projects; and scholarly, library, or analytical research projects. Many Honors Thesis projects combine aspects of all three varieties of projects:
- A creative project is one that combines environmental topics with one of the creative arts.
- A primary research project is one in which you collect and analyze your own data for the project, which can be in a lab or in the field collecting samples or doing tests of air, water, minerals, insects, animals, etc., or it can be an ethnographic study of people, cultural studies, or study of a government or its policies.
- A scholarly, library, or analytical project that does not require new primary research on an environmental topic, but does result in a creative or new perspective on a topic, such as a question in ethics or philosophy, or is a critical analysis of a policy or law that offers new insight or recommendations.
You are encouraged but not required to publish your thesis after it is completed, either through public presentation, on the Web, or in a scholarly journal or other publication.
Library of ENVS Honors Theses
Honors Theses completed over the last few years by ENVS graduates are available for your perusal in the Environmental Studies Office: Arts & Sciences Office Building 1, Suite 10 (formerly IBS 5). Unfortunately, they are not available to be checked out. You may also find more information on past theses by clicking here.
Getting Started: Timeline, Finding Topics, and Forming a Committee
It is never too early in your undergraduate career to set your sights on doing an Honors Project. The first step is to meet with the ENVS Departmental Honors Director early in your process; you can discuss your interests, plan the courses you will take, or research projects you get involved with. You are encouraged to allow 3 semesters from beginning to completion of the project; most are completed in 2–4 semesters.
Some students begin the process or develop a topic of interest for an Honors Thesis project during or after an Internship or Study Abroad. Other students become interested in doing an Honors Thesis project after having already begun work in a lab or on a research project inside or outside the University; these students often have identified one or more faculty members to serve as advisors on their thesis committee. Still other students begin the process with or without an idea for a project, then seek out faculty to advise them.
Ultimately, your committee must comprise a minimum of three UCB faculty members: One is your Primary Advisor, at least one must be affiliated with a department other than ENVS, and one must be on the Honors Council—the same person can fill two or more of these roles; typically one of the three is the ENVS Departmental Honors Director, who is on the Honors Council. Generally, committee members are there to give you direction and offer advice on finding a context for your ideas or interests, to help with your preparation (including background research), to discuss research methods in the one or more fields your topic is in, and to provide supervision and feedback on your analysis and conclusions. Again, you will receive assistance in identifying faculty to serve on your committee.
In any case, you will need to identify a topic of interest that can be effectively researched in the time available, and for which you can find qualified and available faculty members willing to provide supervision. Locating faculty members who will serve as advisors is an important step and may require some negotiation of a topic to ensure that an appropriate match can be found. Developing your topic and filling out your committee with faculty advisors is nearly always a dynamic process, in part because your own research as well as faculty will help determine if or how a project can be undertaken and completed. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of projects in Environmental Studies, faculty from different departments often give students key guidance on specific aspects of a thesis project.
You should plan to complete a preliminary draft and outline of your thesis, working with your advisors, in the semester before the semester in which you will defend your thesis. In the final semester, you will complete and revise your thesis, and defend it before your committee.
Honors Designations
There are three levels of Honors Designation; from lowest to highest they are, cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude. Graduating with any Honors designation means that you earned that designation by doing well in your courses and that you took on the extra work of researching and writing an Honors Thesis. In general, you initially qualify to have your thesis considered for Honors at a specific level based on GPA thresholds: 3.3 for cum laude, 3.5 for magna cum laude, and 3.8 for summa cum laude. Because grades alone are not always a reflection of a student's capabilities, in most cases ENVS also allows students with a GPA of 3.0–3.299 to do an Honors Project. Regardless of what level of Honors you initially qualify for, after your defense, your committee will recommend (or on rare occasion, not recommend) that you be awarded a specific level of Honors based on your GPA, your thesis, and your oral defense, and the committee will write a letter to the Honors Council making that recommendation.
Who Awards Latin Honors?
Although students can work through one of many departments and programs to develop and complete an Honors Project, Latin Honors at CU are actually awarded by the Honors Council. Each department and program has representatives on the council who, along with your faculty advisors, make the case to the Honors Council for each student who is nominated to receive Latin Honors.
For more information on graduating with honors, please see the Honors Program website.
Departmental Honors Requirements in Environmental Studies
Specific requirements for graduation with departmental honors in Environmental Studies are described below:
- GPA requirement: Your Honors GPA is based on your transcript up to but not including the semester you defend your thesis. In ENVS you can do a project if you have a GPA of 3.0 or above. If your GPA is below 3.3, however, be sure you talk with the ENVS Departmental Honors director about any special requirements or what it means to you.
- Course requirements: You must register for ENVS 4990-Senior Thesis, at least one semester (you can register for up to six Senior Thesis credit hours). You are strongly encouraged to take ENVS 3020-Advanced Writing in Environmental Studies and ENVS 3800-The Art of Research: Essential Elements of Research in Environmental Studies in your junior year.
- Committee requirement: You must form a committee of at least 3 UCB faculty members, from 2 or more departments, one of whom has agreed to be your primary advisor (or chair), one of whom must be from a department other than ENVS, and one of whom must be on the Honors Council (the ENVS Departmental Honors Director is on the Honors Council). Committee members can fill one or more roles on the committee. You must meet with each committee member on a regular basis.
- Registration requirement: Prior to your last semester, you must register with the Arts and Sciences Honors Program to declare that you are planning to defend a thesis. You can find the form on the Web at Colorado.edu/Honors, then select the "Application Packet for Graduation with Honors."
- Thesis requirement: You must write a thesis. Your topic and outline must have been approved by the ENVS Departmental Honors Director and your committee.
- Thesis defense: During your last semester as an undergraduate You must prepare a PowerPoint and oral presentation of your thesis to your committee (you may also invite advisors who are not faculty, friends, family, or other faculty to your thesis defense). Your thesis and defense must be accepted by your thesis committee, and then the Honors Council of Arts and Sciences.
- Meeting requirement: You must meet regularly with the ENVS Honors Director while working on your thesis project.

Martin O'Neill: Sunderland manager did not see sack coming
Martin O'Neill did not give the impression of a manager bracing himself for the sack as he spoke of Sunderland's "steely determination" to avoid relegation after losing to Manchester United.
He clutched at a few straws from Sunderland's latest defeat at the Stadium of Light that left them only one point off the Premier League's bottom three, having played a game more than his former club and relegation rivals Aston Villa.
While recognising the serious nature of Sunderland's situation, the 61-year-old Northern Irishman - who arrived on Wearside in December 2011 to a hero's welcome when he succeeded Steve Bruce - said: "What is it - the half-full or the half-empty glass? I'm even going to the three-quarters full."
The glass, at least for O'Neill, was empty.
In his programme notes, Sunderland chairman Ellis Short appeared ready to hope O'Neill could somehow push the Black Cats over the line to safety before reviewing a dismal season.
But it seems Robin van Persie's deflected effort changed all that. It left Sunderland without a win and only three points from their last eight games.
It appears to have persuaded Short to sack O'Neill after 66 matches in charge in a move that was a shock in all contexts, not least in its timing.
Firing a manager of O'Neill's experience is not a decision Short would have taken lightly or without the greatest of consideration. Taking it with only seven games left suggests the size of the crisis threatening to engulf Sunderland has reached the boardroom as well as the pitch.
It is a high-risk strategy, but one Short clearly feels he has been forced to take. Sunderland are on the edge of the relegation places and have an unforgiving final set of fixtures.
And, given the fate that befell Wolves last season when they sacked Mick McCarthy and did not have a replacement ready to come through the door, it must be assumed Short's thoughts on O'Neill's successor will have crystallised long before he made this huge call.
Sunderland and Short will know the size of this gamble. They could have trusted to O'Neill's years in the game a plan to navigate a path out of trouble - but have self-evidently decided the greater risk lay in sticking with him.
If Sunderland go down after taking this decision then it is inevitable plenty of blame will be dropped at the boardroom door. Some will call it brave, others reckless, but Short felt he had no other option.
Sunderland's remaining games
- Sun 7 Apr: Chelsea (a)
- Sun 14 Apr: Newcastle (a)
- Sat 20 Apr: Everton (h)
- Mon 29 Apr: Aston Villa (a)
- Sat 4 May: Stoke (h)
- Sun 12 May: Southampton (h)
- Sun 19 May: Tottenham (a)
How ironic, as it so often is in football, that Sunderland dispensed with O'Neill on the day his predecessor Bruce took another step towards taking Hull City back into the Premier League with victory at Huddersfield Town, increasing the possibility of passing his former club on their way down.
For O'Neill, a man fiercely proud of his achievements at clubs such as Leicester City, Celtic and Aston Villa, this will be one of the most painful moments of his long career. He had followed Sunderland as a youngster, fired by the deeds of their great Irish centre-half Charlie Hurley, and had a connection with those who wanted to restore success to this corner of the North East.
O'Neill will also, no doubt, have wanted to make up for the unsatisfactory end to his time at Aston Villa when he resigned just days before the start of the 2010-2011 season.
With his trademark frenetic touchline presence he brought instant results, but his time at Sunderland has never quite recovered from the blow to confidence and expectation inflicted in last season's timid FA Cup quarter-final replay loss at home to Everton. It seemed the wind was removed from his and Sunderland's sails and never returned.
The man who won a reputation as a man-manager par excellence - but who also had voices in the opposition camp suggesting he was not quite the miracle worker his followers made out - could not fire up Sunderland. Had the magic touch, which some felt he possessed, gone?
Short backed him with £24m in the summer to sign Scotland striker Steven Fletcher and England winger Adam Johnson. Fletcher has done his best in a limited side but Johnson has been a major disappointment.
O'Neill was given another £5m in January to sign Swansea City's Danny Graham but the tide has not turned and the injuries that ruled out Fletcher and Lee Cattermole for the rest of the season added ill-fortune to poor form.
The combination has proved fatal.
And as O'Neill packs his bags and prepares to leave the Stadium of Light, there will inevitably be questions about whether he will ever return to management at elite level.
Once touted as a potential successor to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, linked with Liverpool on several occasions, and put forward as a potential England manager, O'Neill is now one of British management's elder statesmen and his sacking will hurt him badly.
Sunderland and Short have decided to go in another direction. They must hope, after taking a decision of such significance, that the direction does not take them towards the Championship.

strange that both MON and SB couldn't get any success with Sunderland but did well elsewhere. MON got a reasonable amount of money to spend, the jury is out on how well he spent it. Fletcher is an obvious success, Johnston hasn't done much so far, it's too early to make a call on Graham. But the rest of the team, most of which he inherited, are very average. What MON does next will be interesting.

Martin O'Neill has been a good and intelligent manager for a long time. Sunderland has been a special and different club for a long time. Somehow I am not interested in them any more.
Comment number 463. Posted by GeoffHaon 1 Apr 2013 18:27
Some odd comments about lack of money available to O'Neil. £30 million provided in 6 months would seem rather a lot of money, not just to me, but to more than half of the teams in the Premier League. Criticism of Ellis Short is untoward - he has put money into the club, unlike the Glazers and Hicks/Gillette, and has had precious little return.
Comment number 462. Posted by Grm15on 1 Apr 2013 17:59
weird appointment but difficult to have sympathy for O'Neill. Poor season and had more money to spend than most. Needs to look at Swansea and West Brom this year and take his medicine
Comment number 461. Posted by dannyboy1on 1 Apr 2013 17:33
@61 and firing on 0 cylinders it makes total sense for Sunderland to look towards the future. Late in the day if you ask me but a good appointment in di Cannio, nevertheless!
Comment number 460. Posted by _mitch_on 1 Apr 2013 17:04
a bit off-topic but its what alot of peeps are thinking, Chelsea 1-0 man utd yehahahah granma great balls of yeeerhaa'ss (man utd are a good team in England but very poor when compared them to europes elite. again failure in Europe, there squad is there worst for decades yet huge sums spent. man utd are winning the league by default. being best of bad lot,in the uk, its nothing to be proud of
Comment number 459. Posted by Forza Italiaon 1 Apr 2013 14:20
By the way I am a Newcastle fan, but believe I don't want Sunderland to go down, below is my honest opinion about DiCanio's apppointment. But this message for my unwise and crowing fellow mag fans posting on here is WE ONLY HAVE 33 POINTS WHICH IS ONLY 2 MORE THAN SUNDERLAND, WE ARE NOT SAFE SO STOP POSTING RUBBISH!!!!!!!
Comment number 458. Posted by Forza Italiaon 1 Apr 2013 14:09
I hope this works for Sunderland, maybe just maybe DiCanio will fire the team up and he will get some necessary results and points out of them. The whole appointment seems to be about putting some fire into the Sunderland performances but he doesn't have much time, he doesn't know the players and he cant sign any new players if he doesn't like what he's got. I unfortunately think he will fail!!
Comment number 457. Posted by Boundarieson 1 Apr 2013 13:49
Adam Johnson had better watch out - I've heard Di Canio is quite fond of the right wing.
Comment number 456. Posted by thornleigh4on 1 Apr 2013 13:48
It must be April 1st.
Sunderland have appointed Di Canio!

But this message is mostly to all of you <3 from all of us @Root Society.
Thank you for believing in us, and trusting us to bring something special to the playa this year! And for being the kind of audience that few performers could ever imagine playing for in their wildest dreams.
We are thankful for all of our new friends.
Wishing you all a merry merry and a cool yule!
Jefr, Skywalker and the crew!!
