As I've said before, the most important measurement of a team's success comes from the standings that determine playoff berths and seedings for the postseason series that begin this weekend. But it is also interesting, and hopefully revealing, to consider other aspects of a team's performance when evaluating its success. Beyond wins and losses, I used a few criteria to come up with the grades you see below. How well was a team able to withstand or adjust to injuries and other adversity? How much did it capture the passion and imagination of its fans? Did it meet, exceed or fall short of general preseason expectations? How well did it achieve its own goals and purpose for the regular season, be it contending for a title or slowly building for the future? Here are my answers to those questions. (All stats and records are through Tuesday, April 24.)B+Atlanta Hawks (39-26)Losing their best player, Al Horford, after just 11 games was supposed to doom the Hawks. But the opposite happened: By improving on last year's winning percentage despite Horford's absence, Atlanta has reason to rebut the conventional wisdom that it has reached a plateau with this roster. Most of the credit belongs to forward Josh Smith, who is both the catalyst and linchpin of the Hawks' defense, which is ranked sixth in points allowed per possession. Another factor was a change in the rotation. Atlanta is 16-9 since coach Larry Drew replaced Marvin Williams with Kirk Hinrich to create a faster, more fluid and sure-handed starting lineup. Williams has thrived off the bench, where he bears more of the scoring burden in a complementary forward tandem with banger Ivan Johnson. Meanwhile, point guard Jeff Teague continues to improve, and center Zaza Pachulia is a bit of an unsung hero for absorbing the bulk of Horford's minutes. If the Hawks can somehow parlay Horford's talents with this year's improvements, they might finally move beyond their current status as a second-tier contender. B+Boston Celtics (38-27)The Celtics' greatest accomplishment this season won't be the championship they have coveted since this core group of players last won it all in 2008; there simply isn't enough youthful depth or veteran endurance to battle that far. But with its glorious 13-4 spurt through most of March and into early April, Boston has probably postponed a massive roster overhaul at least another year. The team has proved that it can thrive with Avery Bradley replacing Ray Allen in the starting lineup, and with Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce already under contract, the key will be in persuading Kevin Garnett to come back under a reduced, short-term deal. Watching Rondo's distinctive court vision, Pierce's cold-blooded execution in crunch time (he, not Kobe Bryant, is the game's premier closer) and Garnett's contagious intensity, it isn't hard to imagine a quality free agent willing to take a slight discount, if necessary, to don the Celtic green. What a difference from just two months ago, when it seemed like April would be the time for eulogies on the Pierce-Garnett-Allen era. FCharlotte Bobcats (7-57)The Bobcats have scored the fewest points per possession and allowed the most points per possession. Two more losses to close the season would extend their skid to 23 games and give them the lowest winning percentage in NBA history, making them potentially the "worst team ever." About the only bright spot is the steady improvement of 6-foot-9 teenager Bismack Biyombo, who has held his own in the paint and, though still way too raw to be an offensive threat, seems worthy of the sixth pick in last year's draft. Otherwise, Charlotte's best player, Gerald Henderson, wouldn't start on at least half the league's teams. Its four highest-priced players -- Corey Maggette, Tyrus Thomas, DeSagana Diop and Boris Diaw, who was bought out last month -- have been huge disappointments. And its coach, Paul Silas, has seemed as concerned about grooming his son, Stephen, to be his successor as he was in developing the roster. AChicago Bulls (48-16)Last year, the Bulls were 0-1 without MVP Derrick Rose. This season, with two games to play, they are 17-9, which neatly encapsulates the pros and cons of 2011-12. The team has played with heart and cohesion sans its superstar, maintaining its top-rated defense and actually improving in points per possession from 11th to fifth. The Bulls (.750 winning percentage) will finish with the best record in the East again, if not the entire NBA, with a winning percentage remarkably close to last year's .756. But when a championship is your realistic goal, the regular season is about preparing for the postseason. The Bulls have demonstrated that they can beat even quality competition with and without Rose; less certain is how easily they can juggle that dual identity and make the enormous stylistic transition from having or not having their dominant, ball-centric point guard playing major minutes. That said, this regular season will be cherished in Chicago for John Lucas' stunning offensive explosions, C.J. Watson's clutch baskets, Luol Deng's ascension to All-Star status, Joakim Noah's polish added to the grind in his game and coach Tom Thibodeau's feisty, take-no-prisoners approach that spread throughout the roster. C+Cleveland Cavaliers (21-43)The presence of Rookie of the Year lock Kyrie Irving alone makes this a successful season for the Cavs, who can now define themselves apart from LeBron James. Irving, who turned 20 last month, is a charismatic point guard who plays better when it matters most. He formed an effective tandem with defensive-oriented, energetic center Anderson Varejao, whose broken wrist derailed some midseason momentum that had Cleveland flirting with playoff contention. Eventually, the Cavs rightfully folded that chase, dealing Ramon Sessions and giving their other first-round pick, 6-9 Tristan Thompson, a developmental trial by fire by mismatching him against opposing centers. Irving, Varejao and Thompson will be joined by another lottery pick, plus a first-rounder from the Lakers in the Sessions trade, next season, with Cleveland's salary situation allowing for a major free-agent acquisition or salary-absorbing trade. This season was a good first step out of the mire. But with the expected departure of leading scorer Antawn Jamison, and rankings in the NBA's bottom six in both offensive and defensive efficiency, the Cavs still have plenty of work ahead to become a viable playoff threat. CDallas Mavericks (36-29)From the Christmas blowout at home against the Heat in their opener, to the "conditioning" hiatus taken by Dirk Nowitzki, to the travails of Lamar Odom, to the inexorable aging of Jason Kidd and Vince Carter, the Mavericks have not defended their championship very gracefully, or well. In retrospect, it is easy to see that they celebrated their long-awaited Finals triumph for too long, and were caught short by how little time they had between the sudden end of the lockout and the onset of a brutally compressed season. Thanks to the defensive schemes of coach Rick Carlisle, who emphasized wisdom over athleticism and relied on Shawn Marion's versatility, Dallas went 13-5 while allowing only 88 points per game in January -- all after losing Tyson Chandler to the Knicks in the offseason. But in the three months since then, the Mavs are barely over .500, and their offense ranks only 22nd in points per possession after finishing eighth last season. The average age of the team's top six in minutes played is 34.2; by contrast, the two rotation players under 25, Roddy Beaubois and Brandan Wright, don't seem like budding stars. Any team with Carlisle on the bench and Nowitzki and Jason Terry on the court in crunch time commands respect. But it is time to break up the old gang in Dallas. BDenver Nuggets (36-28)It's no secret that coach George Karl prefers a deep rotation and an athletic, wide-open style. Even when the roster churn was reaching ridiculous levels, with players being added or taken off the injured list seemingly on a daily basis, Karl kept experimenting, seemingly adding to the chaos. But there was a method to his madness. Denver has won nine of 13 and is playing its best defense of the year, to go with an offense that ranks third in points per possession for the season. Full-throttle disrupters such as rookie Kenneth Faried, point guard Ty Lawson and swingman Corey Brewer get paired with cool mid-range facilitators such as Arron Afflalo and Andre Miller and floor-spacing jump shooters like Danilo Gallinari and Al Harrington (who both happen to be at least 6-9). Almost everyone is healthy for a change, and the confusion and chaos are mostly happening to Denver's opponents. C-Detroit Pistons (24-41)Beating Philadelphia on Thursday would give the Pistons a .500 record (21-21) over nearly the final two-thirds of the season. But somehow their 4-20 start seems more indicative of their short-term future. Among the most promising players, center Greg Monroe has blossomed in his second year, but he remains a liability on defense; rookie Brandon Knight lacks the ball-handling to be a quality point guard; and Rodney Stuckey is a formidable 6-5 combo guard who can get to the rim, but he's an inaccurate shooter -- his mediocre 42.8 percent from the field is still above his career average and his 32.7 percent from three-point range is a career high. But the real drag is the payroll. The big-money free agents from 2009, Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva, can't hope to produce a collective $20 million worth of performance each of the next two years. And even the contracts handed out in December -- Tayshaun Prince's four-year, $28 million deal and Jonas Jerebko's four-year, $18 million deal -- already seem like mistakes. Coach Lawrence Frank did a solid job eking out wins by upgrading the defense, but to move above the sub-.400 winning percentage of each of the last three years, the Pistons need an infusion of talent. And that's not possible until they can clear the books of bad decisions. DGolden State Warriors (23-42)In a nutshell, the Warriors reprised their usual combination of crowd-pleasing offense and lackluster defense in the first half of the season; made some significant big-name trades in the middle; and finished out the year trying to lose enough games to improve their chances of keeping their first-round pick, which goes to Utah if it is not among the first seven selections. Gone are Monta Ellis, the skillful but redundant backcourt mate for Stephen Curry, and Ekpe Udoh, the team's best low-post defender. New to the team are center Andrew Bogut, who, when healthy, is the sort of two-way player who has been all too rare on the roster, and forward Richard Jefferson, who has two years and $21.2 million left on his contract after this season. Bogut and Curry could be a dynamic pair, but both have been injury-plagued these last two seasons, and both are having ankle surgery in the offseason. Losing Ellis paved the way for Klay Thompson, a lights-out shooter as a rookie, who in some ways reinstates the skill redundancy with Curry. After a muddled season, Golden State is selling hope and promise, which isn't so different from last year, when the Warriors had a muddled season and hired coach Mark Jackson, who announced the team would make the playoffs. C+Houston Rockets (33-32)The Rockets narrowly missed the playoffs for the third straight season, but their six-game losing streak in the final weeks makes this year especially disheartening. Midseason injuries to the starting backcourt became a mixed blessing, as Goran Dragic emerged as a potential star in Kyle Lowry's stead at the point, while shooting guard Kevin Martin's absence provided the defensive upgrade new coach Kevin McHale desired via more minutes for Courtney Lee. But the team's future seems murky at best: Martin and forward Luis Scola are high-priced veterans on the wane who have never defended that well; and Dragic and centers Samuel Dalembert and Marcus Camby are all free agents (though Camby, a late-season acquisition, complements Scola and wants to return). Expect general manager Daryl Morey to be active this offseason, perhaps building around Lowry, who played at a near All-Star level when healthy, and rookie swingman Chandler Parsons, who rewarded McHale's faith by becoming an effective glue guy. A-Indiana Pacers (42-23)The Pacers' best season in eight years began when they used their financial flexibility to sign veteran forward David West -- whose pugnacious but disciplined approach set the template for the team and helped center Roy Hibbert blossom into an All-Star -- and take on salary in trades that brought guards George Hill and later Leandro Barbosa. In the first full season of low-key Frank Vogel as coach and Paul George and Danny Granger as tall wings in the starting lineup, the Pacers rank in the top 10 in points scored and allowed per possession. Yes, they've been lucky, with the fewest games lost to injury among their starters. But after point guard Darren Collison went down with a groin strain earlier this month, Hill played well enough to stay in the lineup when Collison returned. When respected veteran Jeff Foster retired because of back problems, Indiana had a similarly tough, grind-it-out competitor in Lou Amundson to plug in as the backup center. This is a team on the rise and, with youth, set roles and cap space, seemingly built to last. B+Los Angeles Clippers (40-25)The stars have delivered. Chris Paul reinforced his credentials as the NBA's premier point guard with a floor game that was both omnipresent and unselfish. Unless something has annoyed him or the game is on the line, Paul will turn down even a slightly better scoring opportunity for himself if a good one is available for a teammate. And at crunch time, it is almost as if his coach and four court mates sit back and watch with curiosity to see what's next in his bag of tricks. Beside him, Blake Griffin has improved his shooting percentage via greater accuracy on attempts at the rim and from 16-23 feet, though his percentage from that longer distance is still slightly below the league average. Despite the criticism he has received, Griffin has also become a better defender, embracing that role more readily than most high-flying, 23-year-old scorers in their second year. Paul and Griffin ensure a playoff spot. But to reverse the franchise's checkered reputation and start building a legacy, the Clippers will need to continue getting subsidiary value from role players such as post defender Kenyon Martin and outside shooter Randy Foye -- or their replacements, should those two leave as free agents after the season. (And even with Foye's stepping up, the Clippers have missed Chauncey Billups.) Greater consistency from center DeAndre Jordan, an intimidating shot-blocker who needs to improve his rebounding and defense, would also help. All in all, the Clippers are a fascinating team that still hasn't put it all together. BLos Angeles Lakers (41-24)This hasn't been an easy season for the Lakers, who in the first month alone had to transition from Phil Jackson to Mike Brown; cope with the fallout from the voided trade for Chris Paul; and accommodate Kobe Bryant, who was mistrusting of change, dominating the ball and playing with a damaged wrist. Later there would be more rumors of a Pau Gasol trade, the departure of Derek Fisher coinciding with the arrival of Ramon Sessions, the immature antics of Andrew Bynum, the absence of Bryant because of injury and, most recently, the suspension of Metta World Peace for seven games. But the adversity has strengthened the team. Bynum is having a career year in terms of both health and play. Sessions provides dribble-penetration and a facility for the pick-and-roll that was missing earlier in the season. And Bryant realizes, most of the time, that he doesn't have to shoot 30 times for the team to generate a winning offense. It will be interesting watching this team entering the postseason perceived as an underdog. A-Memphis Grizzlies (40-25)If the Grizzlies defeat Orlando on Thursday, they will finish with the highest winning percentage in their 17-year history. Few would have predicted that success when double-double machine Zach Randolph tore a knee ligament in a 40-point loss to the Bulls in Memphis' fourth game, or even at the halfway point, when the team was just 18-15. But the Grizzlies have surged to a 12-3 April by limiting opponents to 90.9 points per game even though their best defender, Tony Allen, missed five of those games. Coach Lionel Hollins has been tremendous, boldly bringing Randolph off the bench to preserve the confidence of Marreese Speights and lessen the pressure on Z-Bo, and gradually creating better offensive spacing by playing newly signed Gilbert Arenas and giving more crunch-time burn to O.J. Mayo, who is second to the Sixers' Lou Williams in points off the bench. Throw in career years for Marc Gasol, Mike Conley and, less obviously, Rudy Gay, whose quiet leadership and improved defense have been vital, and owner Michael Heisley's big spending on contract extensions the last two years seems like a good investment. A-Miami Heat (46-19)The Heat's relatively benign regular season is in their best interest. There has been no domination to conversely prompt panic if they drop a game or two in the postseason, yet they also have done well enough to quell the otherwise incessant murmurs about what is wrong with the team. Ever since Miami lost in the 2011 Finals in a manner that turns up the pressure on LeBron James, this regular season has been mere prologue. And yet again, the circumstances are favorable in that he is probably the front-runner for MVP, will get votes for Defensive Player of the Year for his tenacity and versatility, and has led the Heat to a 13-1 record without Dwyane Wade. In the playoffs, as in the regular season, what he can't control is the performance of his teammates, particularly the outside shooters such as Mario Chalmers, Shane Battier and Mike Miller. If they aren't converting those open looks, Miami is vulnerable and the pressure intensifies. CMilwaukee Bucks (31-33)The Bucks changed personalities over the course of the season, from the defense-first philosophy that has been their signature since coach Scott Skiles joined 2005 No. 1 pick Andrew Bogut three years ago, to a run-and-gun style that is the preference of flashy point guard Brandon Jennings. The process began when Bogut fractured his ankle in January and accelerated when Milwaukee dealt him and malcontent Stephen Jackson to Golden State for Monta Ellis and Ekpe Udoh in March. The go-go pace and entertaining combo of Ellis' acrobatics and Jennings' jumpers have "worked," in that the Bucks are 12-9 since they were paired in the backcourt, averaging nearly 105 points per game. But the Bucks couldn't generate enough stops to complete their playoff push, and an examination of the team's five-man units at Basketball Value indicates that the duo are most effective when defensive stalwarts such as Udoh, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Larry Sanders provide a counterbalance at the other end of the court. Does Milwaukee's brain trust have the foresight to put those combinations together next season? And can it re-sign forward Ersan Ilyasova, the rare two-way performer on this roster and a candidate for Most Improved Player, who is likely to be in high demand as a free agent? B-Minnesota Timberwolves (26-39)Even with a horrible finish and the season shortened to 66 games, the Wolves have registered their highest win total in five years and given long-suffering fans genuine reason for optimism. Rookie Ricky Rubio proved he was an elite passer and, more surprising, a better-than-average defender at point guard. His value was apparent when the Wolves collapsed after his knee injury in February. Power forward Kevin Love shed 25 pounds, posted surreal rebounding and point totals and even generated some MVP talk despite his team's lousy record. And the emergence of center Nikola Pekovic, who curbed his fouling and somehow softened his hands to convert Rubio feeds, provides the Wolves with strong performers at arguably the three most important positions. That's the good news. Though the Wolves hold Utah's first-round pick this year from the Al Jefferson deal, they lost their own in the terrible Marko Jaric trade back in 2005. Meanwhile, president David Kahn gave Love an opt-out after the third season of his new, four-year contract rather than assenting to Love's request for a five-year extension. And aside from Rubio, Kahn's record on high-level lottery picks has been dreadful. In the last seven years, only six players taken among the first six picks have averaged fewer than 10 points and five rebounds or five assists while shooting less than 42 percent. Three of them -- Jonny Flynn, Wes Johnson and Derrick Williams -- were drafted by Kahn, who also traded for a fourth one, Martell Webster, in a deal with Portland two years ago. DNew Jersey Nets (22-43)What happened on the court this season was supposed to be relatively inconsequential, a necessary hiatus while the franchise continued with its grand plan to debut in Brooklyn next year with a roster featuring Deron Williams and Dwight Howard. But bad luck, a seemingly bad gamble and increasing desperation turned the entire endeavor into a fiasco, and this wretched season may indeed have consequences. Injuries to center Brook Lopez -- the primary chip in any trade for Howard -- limited him to just five games. Without Lopez as a low-post presence, and with Howard deciding to remain in Orlando at least through the end of this season (he exercised his 2012-13 option before the trade deadline), Williams grew disenchanted and announced his intention to opt out of his contract with a team that paid a huge price in players and draft picks to land him last season. In a rash attempt to re-engage their soon-to-be free-agent point guard, the Nets sacrificed their first-round pick (top-three protected) for high-energy, 29-year-old forward Gerald Wallace, who can also opt out of his contract for next season. Meanwhile, power forward Kris Humphries, a valuable banger in the paint, is set to become a free agent, and the team's pleasant surprises, rookie MarShon Brooks and D-League pickup Gerald Green, join Anthony Morrow as volume shooters who need someone like Williams to feed them and someone like a healthy Lopez, if not Howard or Humphries, to rebound. C+New Orleans Hornets (21-44)Nine teams will finish with 20-25 wins, and none of them should feel better about how they fared than the Hornets. Chris Paul was traded after declaring he wouldn't extend his contract in New Orleans, with commissioner David Stern having final say over the deal as the Hornets' de facto owner. Eric Gordon, the biggest acquisition in the Paul trade, hurt his knee and played only two of the team's first 52 games. Midway through the season, former All-Star center Chris Kaman was told to stay home while the team tried to trade him and his $14 million expiring contract. He was later invited back because the Hornets suffered so many injuries that they needed him in uniform. But through it all, coach Monty Williams kept the team competitive by stressing defense and playing at the league's slowest pace. Local billionaire Tom Benson bought the team late in the season, about the time some long-injured players returned, including Gordon, and New Orleans has gone 8-5 in April with one game left. The team will have two lottery picks in the June draft, a hopefully healthy Gordon joining quality veterans like Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza, and a nice contingent of role players cultivated by Williams this season. BNew York Knicks (34-30)The Knicks have had at least seven distinctive chapters to their season, a narrative too long for this space, so let's stick to terse statements. The trio of Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire and coach Mike D'Antoni seethed with passive-aggressive dysfunction. D'Antoni's resignation was the right move, but mostly because Anthony is now belatedly devoted to teamwork. Without that magical month from Jeremy Lin, the Knicks would be out of the playoffs and wallowing in recriminations. Even so, Tyson Chandler is New York's MVP, changing the defensive culture of his new team for the second year in a row, after sparking Dallas last season. Iman Shumpert is ideally suited to defend point guards, but the rookie is blatantly incompetent at trying to run an offense as a point guard himself. Continuing to trust J.R. Smith as much as possible is coach Mike Woodson's biggest gamble. When Smith and Baron Davis are playing well and unselfishly, the Knicks are a very difficult team to beat. A-Oklahoma City Thunder (47-18)The Thunder's three stars excel at attacking opponents on isolation plays. The result is an idiosyncratic offense that commits the most turnovers and records the second-fewest assists in the league, yet ranks second in points per possession. More than ever, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden can get to the rim and/or the free-throw line, and in signature wins over the Heat and Lakers, they demonstrated that they can involve Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins in the scoring. But Oklahoma City's ability to live up to its preseason hype as one of the elite teams in the West also stems from its renewed commitment to defense. The Thunder have jumped from 15th last season to ninth in points allowed per possession, with Thabo Sefolosha and Nick Collison acting as the impact players at that end. After a six-game winning streak that included victories against Miami, the Lakers and Chicago, OKC was 40-12 on April 1. Since then, the Thunder are a pedestrian 7-6 -- signs of a drop-off, or just conserving energy and resources for the postseason? D+Orlando Magic (36-28)Welcome to soap opera central, where the Magic's season was defined by the ever-shifting drama surrounding Dwight Howard. We all know the details too well: Dwight wants to be traded; Dwight is too loyal to leave; Dwight wants the coach fired; Dwight never said he wanted the coach fired; Dwight wants to be the go-to scorer; Dwight isn't satisfied with his supporting cast; Dwight never quits on his team or his teammates; Dwight needs season-ending surgery for a herniated disk in his back, announced the day after a local-television report -- unconfirmed and denied -- that Dwight had told ownership that he would never play for coach Stan Van Gundy again. Meanwhile, Howard had a stellar season, leading the NBA in rebounding for the fourth time in five years with a career-best 14.5, but his field-goal percentage declined for the second straight year, he missed more than half his free throws and Orlando's team defense was not nearly as fearsome as in years past. Elsewhere, power forward Ryan Anderson had a breakout season and is a strong Most Improved Player candidate, the trade bringing Glen Davis for Brandon Bass didn't pan out, and Jameer Nelson and Hedo Turkoglu had disappointing seasons. Yes, even amid the distractions and subpar individual performances from key players, the Magic still contended for home-court advantage in the first round. But this regular season was ultimately all about the nonsense with Howard, which generates the harsh grade. C+Philadelphia 76ers (34-30)At the halfway mark, the Sixers owned the Atlantic Division and Doug Collins was the probable front-runner for Coach of the Year. But second-half struggles made clinching a playoff berth a challenge and led a respected former 76ers beat reporter to write that some players were tuning out Collins. What happened? Well, the fast start was at least partially the result of a schedule that enabled Philadelphia to go 15-7 between Jan. 6 and Feb. 10 because 18 of those 22 games were at home. And while Collins was lauded for creating a potent second unit that was often as effective as the starters, the platoon eventually couldn't camouflage the lack of a quality big man or a dynamic, go-to scorer who could create his own shot and get to the free-throw line. Both are especially crucial at crunch time, which helps explain why the Sixers were 0-8 in games decided by four points or fewer before beating Indiana by three in overtime Saturday. They have been revealed as a team of complementary players in need of a star. Nobody on the roster averages any of these eminently reachable numbers: 16 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals or two blocks per game. Unfortunately, their splendid first half merely set them up for a discouraging thud. BPhoenix Suns (33-32)The respect and affection for Steve Nash (and to a lesser extent Grant Hill) were palpable as the Suns made an unlikely second-half surge to contend for the final playoff spot in the West, in what could be Nash's final year in Phoenix. But Monday's loss to Utah was fitting. Nash's tenure has generally followed a course of team overachievement that leads to dramatic disappointment; as the cliché goes, it is the journey, not the destination, that is so attractive. It's not overly sentimental to believe that Nash's faith and loyalty inspired key contributors such as Marcin Gortat and Jared Dudley (career years for both), Michael Redd (who found some of his old scoring form after three years of knee injuries) and coach Alvin Gentry. In terms of generating a memorable, passionate, consequential slate of games, the Suns had a successful season, playoffs or no playoffs. C-Portland Trail Blazers (28-37)In the previous two years, the Blazers persevered through an onslaught of injuries to make the playoffs. But after winning seven of their first nine, this was the season it all fell apart. Portland suffered from a point-guard swap that sent Andre Miller to Denver for Raymond Felton, who lacked Miller's thick skin in dealing with taskmaster coach Nate McMillan. That conflict exacerbated the impact of Brandon Roy's retirement; even when ravaged by knee injuries, Roy was a playmaking sage in the backcourt and a trusted alter ego for McMillan. A slew of close losses sapped team confidence, and by the trade deadline, Portland cleaned house, firing McMillan and dealing Marcus Camby and Gerald Wallace, with Wallace fetching a top-three-protected first-round pick from New Jersey. The Blazers also finally cut ties with 2007 No. 1 pick Greg Oden, who along with Roy epitomized how much Portland was shortchanged by medical misfortune. With a wealthy owner, a loyal fan base, the New Jersey lottery pick and All-Star forward LaMarcus Aldridge, the circumstances exist for a rapid rebuilding. But by most any measure, the 2011-12 season was a step backward. DSacramento Kings (21-44)The Kings have unearthed a notable rookie again, though it is the last player taken in the 2011 draft, point guard Isaiah Thomas, rather than Jimmer Fredette, the 10th pick. Thomas extends the winning streak that started with 2010 Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans and continued with freakishly skilled center DeMarcus Cousins. But where are the wins that should come with this talent? Evans, who is 6-6 and can get to the rim in a blur, seems increasingly lacking in the offense after being shuttled to small forward, only occasionally flashing that rookie-year magic. Cousins has taken another significant step forward this season, but that volatile temperament still prevents him from being a lock for stardom just yet. And despite Thomas' becoming an offensive catalyst once he was installed at the point in February, Kings management doesn't seem entirely sold on his future. Add in leading scorer Marcus Thornton, 24, and you have some wonderful parts that don't play defense (Sacramento ranks 29th in points allowed per possession). Last but hardly least, a deal for a new arena that was celebrated by the NBA, team ownership and the city of Sacramento last month has fallen apart, creating uncertainty about the franchise's future. A+San Antonio Spurs (48-16)What an unlikely offensive juggernaut. As expected, coach Gregg Popovich rested his three stars -- in blatant fashion sometimes -- to minimize the chances of another playoff disappointment. And one of them, Manu Ginobili, missed nearly half the season besides, dealing with a broken hand and then a strained oblique. Didn't matter. The Spurs were going 10-deep in their rotation even before picking up discounted but valuable veteran role players like Stephen Jackson and Boris Diaw late in the season. They have earned the top seed in the West and could finish with the NBA's best record behind a league-leading offense that is less Showtime than medical clinic -- they diagnose the impediments to their scoring and then surgically remove them by spacing and re-spacing the floor, moving the ball and moving without the ball until an easily makeable shot arises. Tony Parker has had the best season of his distinguished career, Ginobili is rested and Tim Duncan has played the past month with a hunger that rivals his wisdom on the court. CToronto Raptors (22-43)Under former coach Jay Triano, the Raptors played defense as if they were afraid of contracting a contagious disease, arriving late on rotations and avoiding contact whenever possible as they surrendered the most points per possession for two years in a row. Without revamping the roster -- the top 10 players in minutes this season were here last year -- coach Dwane Casey has changed the culture enough to elevate Toronto's defensive efficiency from 30th to 14th. In the category of points in the paint given up, the jump is from 30th to fourth. Part of that is making opponents earn it at the line. Toronto has committed nearly 100 more fouls than any other team this season. Not surprisingly, this rugged approach has been embraced more thoroughly by grinders such as small forward James Johnson and power forward Amir Johnson. Casey's next challenge is doing away with the stereotype of the "soft" European: Spaniard Jose Calderon has been by far the team's worst defender this season; Italian Andrea Bargnani played staunch defense early, but tailed off after returning from a chronic calf injury; and everyone is excited about the pending arrival of Lithuanian forward Jonas Valanciunas, the No. 5 pick in 2011, who played overseas this season. A-Utah Jazz (35-30)Give coach Tyrone Corbin credit for the way he has refused to compromise between playing to win or developing his young talent. He has managed to do both. To most everyone's surprise, the Jazz are in the playoffs during a season in which second-year players Derrick Favors and Gordon Hayward have made major strides and rookies Enes Kanter and Alec Burks have received regular minutes. Abruptly tapped to replace Hall of Famer Jerry Sloan just weeks before Deron Williams was traded, Corbin and his team looked clueless closing out the season last year. There was reason to believe that Utah was facing a long and fitful transition back to respectability. But Paul Millsap emerged as a team leader (among other things, his versatility enabled Corbin to put him at small forward in a huge but successful lineup after a rash of injuries to smaller swingmen), point guard Devin Harris regained his effectiveness after a terrible start and the four kids in the eight-man rotation proved that they deserved the playing time. Corbin's crew can enter the playoffs with a positive mindset that whatever happens is a bonus on a job already well done. C-Washington Wizards (18-46)The Wizards flunked chemistry for most of the season, the result of a terrible collective basketball IQ that was revealed in execrable shot selection, lack of recognition on defensive rotations and an overall tendency to abandon systemic assignments at the slightest sign of stress. Or, more simply, Washington played stupidly and selfishly while tuning out coach Flip Saunders, whose exasperation morphed into apathy, which led to unemployment after a 2-15 start. At the trade deadline, Washington unloaded center JaVale McGee and shooting guard Nick Young; soon afterward, the team told Andray Blatche to go "work on his conditioning." The result of all these moves was addition by subtraction under interim coach Randy Wittman, a no-nonsense Bobby Knight disciple. Instead of McGee and Blatche in the paint, the Wizards gave less talented but more dedicated young players such as Trevor Booker and Kevin Seraphin regular minutes. Booker has been out all month with a foot injury, but Seraphin is the team's leading scorer during a 6-2 stretch in which the Wizards have amassed a third of their wins for the season, including road victories over Chicago and Miami. Rookie Jan Vesely is raw, but he's benefiting from plentiful, low-pressure playing time down the stretch. Most important, 2010 top pick John Wall is beginning to shed the bad habits he'd picked up from his team's earlier dysfunction, and performing like the cornerstone player he has to become if the Wizards are to be relevant again.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) -- A judge has ordered a convicted child molester to pay $10,000 to the family of his victim for emotional suffering in a rare award for psychological damages from a criminal court.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported (http://bit.ly/1pCYRZg ) that the judge on Friday ordered 47-year-old Arnold Luz to make the payment under a state law that allows special restitution for child molestation victims.
Luz, who was convicted of sexual molestation and is on probation, declined comment.
The award was unusual because restitution in criminal cases is commonly confined to paying for expenses associated with the case.
But California law provides payments for child-sex victims, allowing judges to put a price on trauma.
Luz was arrested after acknowledging having phone sex multiple times with the 13-year-old girl.

Firstly, thanks for this wonderful plugin. The map looks really beautiful and sophisticated.
Everything is working fine for me, but the problem I seem to have is that when I click on a continent i.e. Africa or Asia, the page that I linked to opens in a new tab.
Is there anything I can do to make the linked page open in the same window?
Thanks in advance

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The ancestors of the Lesly family were part of an ancient Scottish tribe called the Picts. They lived in the barony of Leslie in the county of Aberdeen. The surname Lesly belongs to the category of habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
The surname Lesly was first found in Aberdeenshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain), a historic county, and present day Council Area of Aberdeen, located in the Grampian region of northeastern Scotland, where they were recorded as a family of great antiquity seated on the lands of Leslie, and it is said that they were descended from Bartholomew Leslyn, son of Walter de Leslyn, a Flemish knight who attended Queen Margaret when she arrived to marry King Malcolm of Scotland in 1067. Legend states that the wife of King Malcolm III was thrown from her horse while crossing a river and nearly drowned, but Leslyn, gripping the horses bridle, saved her. She frequently cautioned him to 'grip fast' and afterwards commanded that he retain those words as his family motto. He later married the sister of Malcolm Ceanmore, and so was appointed Governor of Edinburgh Castle and made Lord Leslie. Malcolm Leslie of Garioch in Aberdeenshire, son of Bartolf, received a feudal charter confirming his lands from a grant made to his name-father, Lord Leslie. Malcolm's grandson, Sir Andrew de Lesly, was one of the signatories of the 1320 'Arbroath Declaration of Independence' to the Pope, which affirmed Scotland's sovereignty and included the words: "as long as one hundred Scotsmen still live they would never submit to English rule."
In medieval Scotland, names were more often spelled according to sound than any regular set of rules. An enormous number of spelling variations were the result. Over the years, the name Lesly has been spelled Leslie, Lesley, Lessely, Lessley, Lesslie and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Lesly research. Another 617 words (44 lines of text) covering the years 1411, 1562, 1680, 1340, 1680, 1850, 1711, 1527, 1596, 1580, 1661, 1635, 1661, 1661, 1571, 1671, 1641, 1650, 1722, 1580, 1661, 1641, 1607, 1667, 1600, 1682, 1661, 1797 and are included under the topic Early Lesly History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Notable amongst the Clan at this time was John Lesley (1527-1596) Scottish bishop, historian, and statesman, ecclesiastical adviser to Mary Queen of Scots; Henry Leslie (1580-1661) Scottish-born, Church of Ireland Bishop of Down and Connor (1635 to 1661) and briefly Bishop of Meath (1661); John Leslie (1571-1671), a Scottish royalist bishop...

Some of the Lesly family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 157 words (11 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
In such difficult times, Ireland, Australia, and North America looked like better homes for many Scots. The trips were expensive and grueling, but also rewarding, as the colonies were havens for those unwelcome in the old country. That legacy did not die easily, though, and many were forced to fight for their freedom in the American War of Independence. The Scottish legacy has resurface in more recent times, though, through Clan societies, highland games, and other organizations. Immigration and passenger lists have shown many early immigrants bearing the old Scottish name of Lesly:
Lesly Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Lesly Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Lesly Settlers in United States in the 20th Century
A clan is a social group made up of a number of distinct branch-families that actually descended from, or accepted themselves as descendants of, a common ancestor. The word clan means simply children. The idea of the clan as a community is necessarily based around this idea of heredity and is most often ruled according to a patriarchal structure. For instance, the clan chief represented the hereditary "parent" of the entire clan. The most prominent example of this form of society is the Scottish Clan system...More

San Francisco Giants 2012 Top 15 Prospects (2/14/12)
Historically, the Giants have always been a tough system for me to rank. When I've looked back at prior lists I have created for the organization, there have been some very curious results and some insane inaccuracies. I'm not proud of it and to date, I don't have a sound explanation.
With last year's list I actually think I got a little closer. The Giants are not a classically good system and that makes things a little difficult, but I had a better sense of what was going on following the 2011 season.
Gary Brown and Kyle Crick were the top two in the system without question and I stand by that decision today. Tommy Joseph's stock was still high in my mind and even with a move to the Phillies, he still rates as a nice, quality prospect.
I probably could have thrown the rest of the Top 15 in a hat and picked them out at random and come up with a list that was defensible. I was more cautious with Eric Surkamp, despite pleas from numerous fans, and I believe that was the right move. I do wish I had been more assertive with my rating of Mike Kickham and I am willing to acknowledge that mistake.
The inclusion of Conor Gillaspie and Bryce Bandilla at the back of the list is curious and evidence of someone that was seemingly grasping at straws. Bandilla's raw tools can fit in that range in a system of this magnitude, but frankly, Gillaspie had no business here. That said, including players like Ricky Oropesa or Chris Dominguez didn't make much sense to me either.
This was an incredibly difficult system to rank and I had plenty of mistakes last year. I put a considerable amount of effort into expanding my coverage of the Giants system last year and I hope that will be reflected in my 2013 Top 15.

Essay - You Gotta Keep Dancin' Tim Hansel's Book 'You Gotta Keep...
You Gotta Keep Dancin'
Tim Hansel's book "You gotta keep dancing" is perhaps one of the most profound and deep humanitarian message ever transmitted and th***** message may be included in the fundamental values of life. Along with Andre Malraux's "Human Condition," it expresses in a simple way what life is all about and what solutions we have to pain.
Pain, troubles, extreme conditions- ***** these seem to make up the human ***** and resume the ***** condition. How many times haven't we been faced with ei*****r or all of them? The auth***** himself seems to write from a personal experience: an accident while trekking in the Sierras has left him ***** terrible ***** for over twenty years now. However, all ***** hum***** sufferings have, as the author explains, nothing to do ***** misery. ***** don't have to be miserable if you are in pa*****. Something close to the "don't worry, be happy" message, Tim Hansel tells us that God gives us the possibility to choose ***** the ***** to ***** joyful with his help.
***** of the quotes that Hansel ***** perhaps sums everything up: "I ***** want ***** 'celebrate pain,' but more *****ly understand the dignity of what can happen in it." Perhaps t***** explains *****he whole message of the book: it is not about avoiding pain, it is not about being joyful at ***** thought of pain and ***** is certainly not about ***** *****. It is ***** learning to be full of ***** even when in pa*****, full of dignity as a hum*****n ***** should al*****s *****. God can help ***** along the way in dealing with pain if you turn to him for *****.

A report of the Committee on Ophthalmology of the National Research Council, Division of Medical Sciences, on the fish lens protein treatment for cataract appears elsewhere in this issue (page 707). As is mentioned in the report, an investigation was made because of widespread public interest in what appeared to be an escape from necessary surgery in the treatment of cataract. Such interest resulted from newspaper stories, which, unfortunately, aroused false hopes in many persons. These stories were based on a report in Science, a reputable scientific weekly, in September, 1952.1 Since that time two or three physicians in the New York metropolitan area have treated many patients. The Journal has published an earlier warning2 of possible untoward results of this injection therapy, and the dangers of this therapy are again mentioned in a clinical note in this issue (page 698).

Rocco's Tavern ready to swing again
Business at Rocco's Tavern, east of the airport on West 12th Street, has been up in the air all summer with construction closing Asbury Road.
Having its primary connection to all things south of Route 5 blocked, the usually busy tavern suspended the live music, swing dancing and karaoke that make the bar a popular westside stop.
As the Asbury Road project ends, Rocco's is ready to jump back into action. Bands are scheduled, acoustics, karaoke and DJ "Swing Man" Dan will have dance enthusiasts jumping, jiving and wailing every Thursday night.
At first glance you might think Rocco's Tavern was a bar owned by a retired boxer -- a Rocco "The Hammer" or some other colorful pugilistic character. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. Rocco is the last name of the family that opened the tavern in 1979.
Gil and Susan Rocco started serving drinks at their comfortable tavern when Jimmy Carter was president. Their son Joe worked at the bar. And today, Joe Rocco runs the tavern spurred on by a connection to his late mother that he never knew existed.
Joe Rocco joined the swing-dance revival that flared up about 15 years ago. Bands like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were playing the Super Bowl halftime show, and Rocco's Tavern became a home to local swing dancers.
It was then that Joe Rocco's father showed him an old publicity photo of his mother. Before meeting Gil Rocco, she had left her parents' home as a young woman to pursue a career as a dancer.
She landed in a burlesque show where she performed under the nom de plume Valerie Darnell. Today her sultry photo hangs behind the bar to remind Joe Rocco where he got his dance genes.
Rocco's is known for much more than dancing. Joe Rocco puts out a rib-sticking daily lunch menu with items like homemade rigatoni, roast beef and Salisbury steak. Weekends are filled with live music. Blues Beaters play Sept. 15 and Endless Summer, Sept. 21.
Joe Rocco says the tavern's regulars are the heart and allow Rocco's to offer karaoke and acoustic music on alternating Wednesdays, with live music on weekends.
Now that Asbury Road is opening up, put on your two-tone shoes and head over to Rocco's Tavern. The jukebox is ready anytime you are: "Swing, swing, swing, swing, everybody start to swing! La dee da, oh woh woh! Now you're singing with a swing!"

Not so fast, Josh…
Americablog has the dirt on Bailey, and he does seem dirty, but Bailey is the study's "senior author," not its lead author - that would be NU grad student Gerulf Rieger. I'm going to interview Rieger today at 12, and I'll bring up John A.'s points.
The study also wasn't conducted just at NU, where John A. asserts that Bailey has difficultly recruiting subjects. It was done at NU and the Center for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, which would seem to dilute the influence and impact of the Bailey issue.
So I wouldn't so quick to dismiss the study - it does seem to jibe with most gay men's real world observations: male bisexuality is rare, rare, rare, whereas female bisexuality is more common. Men and women are very different animals, sexually speaking. To take just one example, there are more than twice as many gay men as lesbians. Why? Dunno, but it merits study. That there might be a difference in the occurrence of bisexuality in males and females isn't quite so absurd as Josh or John A. would like to believe it is.
And, finally, no one is arguing that there aren't a lot of guys out there having bisexual experiences. I think that there's difference between sexual orientation and sexual capability. Some mostly straight men do respond to other men sexually, and experiment, yadda yadda yadda. But the vast majority of these "biâ men are not emotionally available to other men in other words, they may have sex with other men, but they only have relationships with women.
This is why dating bi guys and girls has such a bad rap among gays and lesbians. Even if the bi guy you're dating is single, you're still just a piece on the side.

is it possible to protect the whole WP blog with a password, instead of every post separately ?
I can put a password JavaScript protection code in any page, between <head> and </head>, but there seems to be no page, and only php files connected to each other.
The only file is 'header.php' which has a recognizable structure, but my protection camouflages only the url, and then my login to get inside my own blog doesn't work.
At the registration process there seemed to have been some options avaiable, now I cannot find them.
Any ideas ? Thanks.

Part ordered was exactly what I ordered. Installed part on truck and everything seems fine for now. Only disappointment I have is that so many good American part manufacturers are going to China ...
This was my second order with PartsGeek and I am well pleased. They are prompt and the tiems are as described. Will be my new parts supplier.

I have never seen those before that's a great idea
Long rope tied around the boxes and pull them up the ladder.
wow I have never seen a tube fail that bad
Is that a Sanyo
Yeah it was a real eye opener. Plenty of work. The water into my house even froze up
This cold here tomorrow will definately show all of the problem children around here. I know Monday certainly opened a lot of eyes.
Pulling in exhaust fumes from the garage I would assume
I always put a float switch in. That way if something like that does happen for any reason I clearing a drain and vacuuming the pan not fixing sheetrock.
Wow that's pretty amazing
Did someone try to previously repair that Timebuilder?
They were most likely covered in salt water the coil is going to fall apart
It amazing how someone can have the nerve to cost someone thousands of dollars over $50 worth of scrap metal
If there is no information available on the machine you can call your local dealer with tghe model number and serial number and they can tell you what capacitor should be on there.

Hamlet (1921 film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hamlet is a 1921 German film adaptation of the William Shakespeare play of the same name starring Danish silent film actor Asta Nielsen. It was directed by Svend Gade and Heinz Schall.
In this interpretation, inspired by Dr. Edward P. Vining's book The Mystery of Hamlet, Hamlet is born female and disguised as a male to preserve the lineage. Though a radical interpretation, the New York Times said this film, "holds a secure place in class with the best."

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) - The Ecuadorean government has sent 6 tons
of food and water to the Galapagos after the islands were hit by a
tsunami from the massive earthquake off Japan.
Ecuador's national emergency department says it shipped the aid Monday to 260 families on Santa Cruz and San Cristobal islands whose fishing boats - and livelihood - were destroyed.
Water from the tsunami penetrated up to a third of a mile (a half-kilometer) inland in the Galapagos, causing minor damage to homes and docks, merging a lagoon with the sea and destroying home endangered tortoise nests.
The islands are located about 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) off Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean. They are home to unique animal species that inspired Charles Darwin's ideas on evolution.

text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 252323 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Topeka KS 623 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 ...AVIATION UPDATE... .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday) Issued at 321 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 Rain has all but come to an end across the forecast area this afternoon although embedded short wave/MCV remains over east central KS and seems to be slowly pushing east and southeast. This final area of vertical motion is rather weak, but could support a few more showers mainly south of Abilene to Ottawa but only a slight chance. Drier air and high pressure are present over northern KS and southern Nebraska, but with cloud cover and minimal advection across much of the forecast area, dewpoints remain fairly high while dewpoint depressions are rather small. With the expectation that some of these clouds will clear out tonight, see some potential for fog but have not gotten too aggressive with it in the forecast at this point. The most likely areas for fog development would be those areas that received appreciable rain in the past 24 hours but will also clear out and also have the higher initial dewpoints. This focused area currently seems to be in the general Concordia/Manhattan/Abilene/Council Grove region, but again this is not a slam dunk for fog development and will want to monitor potential this evening. Do not expect precipitation tonight or tomorrow with relatively dry air and no appreciable lifting mechanism so have reduced pops to near 0 for much of the period. Lows tonight look to hold in the middle to upper 60s with some dependence upon cloud cover and/or fog while highs tomorrow should climb into the upper 80s to lower 90s. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday) Issued at 321 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 Tomorrow night surface high pressure will be centered over the Great Lakes region. The overall flow over this surface high is rather weak. Although the models are showing hints of some isentropic lift in the 310-315K surfaces over southeast KS. Moisture is also limited in these layers, but have kept slight chances in those areas. This lift could continue over eastern KS into the late morning, but most locations should remain dry. On Wednesday night a shortwave trough will dive southeastward over the northern plains within the northwest flow aloft. This wave could support a thunderstorm complex that develops in SD or NE that moves towards the forecast area. The low level jet is not forecasted to be strong overnight therefore the complex might not reach northern KS before falling apart. There may be some left over showers and or redevelopment as the wave passes over IA during the day Thursday. Thursday night another wave may track over western NE and support a storm complex that again moves southeastward overnight. Also, there may be some isentropic lift that stretches across central KS. A few isolated to scattered storms may be possible out ahead of the complex. This wave may be strong enough to allow this complex to continue through the area during the day Friday. The weekend is looking mostly dry as of now. Especially with the upper ridge beginning to build back over the region. Temperatures are forecasted to be slight below normal until early next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday Evening) Issued at 623 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 Main concern is whether a radiational fog develops or dry air advection from the northeast prevents it. In general most guidance is showing some MVFR VSBY probable between 10Z and 13Z. The setup fits the conceptual models of recent rains with limited daytime mixing allowing for a more humid boundary layer overnight. With the ridge in the area, think winds will be light enough for some ground fog to form and have added it to the forecast. && .TOP Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Barjenbruch LONG TERM...Sanders AVIATION...Wolters

BOSTON -- Takeaways from an emotionally charged Fenway Park, where poignant ceremony and hardball heroics once again made for a potent combination on Yawkey Way on Sunday night, this time on the eve of the 118th running of the Boston Marathon.
The result: With Dustin Pedroia scoring in the bottom of the ninth on a throwing error by Orioles left fielder David Lough, the Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5. The victory, the first walk-off win for the Sox this season after having 11 in 2013, came on a night that the Sox paid tribute before the game to the victims of last April's Marathon bombings and honored all those who lent their assistance in the aftermath of the tragedy.
"We'll now take a moment to remember those who lost their lives and salute those who saved our lives and to thank those who helped us heal," Sox PA announcer Henry Mahegan said during the ceremony.
Drama in the last of the ninth: After coming all the way back from a 5-0 hole, the Red Sox won it in the ninth. Pedroia doubled high off the left-field wall against Orioles left-hander Brian Matusz, with second-base umpire Paul Schrieber signaling fan interference after a spectator appeared to contact the ball with his glove. The play was reviewed, but the call on the field stood.
Matusz then threw a pitch that Orioles catcher Matt Wieters could not find at his feet, Pedroia taking third on the wild pitch. Orioles manager Buck Showalter elected to walk David Ortiz intentionally, then brought in right-hander Darren O'Day to face Mike Napoli. O'Day drilled Napoli in the left knee, filling the bases.
In one more round of managerial machinations, Farrell brought in Mike Carp to pinch hit for Jonny Gomes, who had doubled and homered earlier. Carp lined a ball to left, right at Lough, who was playing shallow, but his off-line throw skipped wildly around the backstop as Pedroia, who had broken toward the plate, came back to tag up, then bolted home, signaling safe after he slid into the plate.
"Obviously, they were in close," Pedroia said. "I broke real quick -- if it had fallen in he would have had a chance to throw me out at home. Just one of those things, it was great positioning on their part. Worked out for us, it's kind of a crazy deal."
Carp thought he'd won the game when he first smoked his liner. "[Then I] realized, 'Crap, it's not deep enough.' I looked down for one second coming off the field, turned around and everybody's going nuts. It's a great feeling."
Carp must have had a chance to see a replay afterward because he had an amusing take on Pedroia's trip home.
"He was going in circles, he was running around everywhere," Carp said. "[But] the only thing that matters is him sliding into home plate and we got the win."
A win reminiscent of last season?
"We won some crazy ones and this was just a little wild but we'll take it," Pedroia said. "We did some good things, they got some great starting pitching and we fought back and put some good at-bats together."
Lough's error was the third of the night for the Orioles, who had made just four in their first 16 games.
The early deficit: A sellout crowd of 33,947 had barely settled into their seats when the Orioles jumped on Sox starter Jake Peavy for three runs in the first inning, a rally touched off by a one-out home run by Baltimore newcomer Nelson Cruz, his third in a half-dozen games against the Sox this season. A couple of hits and Lough's ground-rule double made it 4-0 in the fifth, and Peavy was knocked out in the sixth when Ryan Flaherty doubled and scored on a two-out single by Adam Jones.
"I felt OK," said Peavy, who pitched in near-freezing temperatures in his last start in Chicago and didn't get a break from the weather Sunday night, with the temperature at 44 for the first pitch and dipping into the 30s as it went along. "The first inning I made some real bad pitches 0-and-2 and just couldn't get in sync. It was a tough night to try to find my groove and get in sync.
"[But] any day that we go out there and it's my day and we win, I'm as happy as the day is long, I promise you that. Good day, we'll be back at them tomorrow."
Boston Strong-man: Gomes, who in many ways came to embody the Boston Strong resilience adopted as the mantra for the team and city it represents, hit a three-run home run off Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez in the sixth, after the right-hander had checked the Sox on two hits through five scoreless innings, to draw within 5-3.
"They had us down early and it looked like they were going to put us away and Jonny, how many times has Jonny come up with a big home run to get us right back in the ballgame?" Carp said. "[We] kept battling, kept fighting and pulled it out in the ninth inning in typical Red Sox, Fenway Park fashion. Walk-off at Fenway."
All the way back: The Sox rallied to tie the score in the seventh, with the help of errors by Orioles infielders Ryan Flaherty, who dropped a throw at second base on the dreaded transfer play, and Jonathan Schoop, who threw wildly home on an attempted force play at the plate. Both errors by the normally sure-handed Orioles came following Baltimore manager Buck Showalter's shuffling of his infield after Steve Lombardozzi hit for shortstop J.J. Hardy, who came out with a sore hamstring, triggering the switcheroos.
"The much talked-about transfer play comes into our favor tonight," Farrell said, "and we're able to chip away with two runs to tie things up."
An "A" in penmanship: The Sox bullpen continued its phenomenal early-season run. Chris Capuano, unscored upon in eight appearances, relieved Peavy and registered five outs, two on strikes. Junichi Tazawa retired the dangerous Cruz, the only batter he faced, on a popup in the eighth, and is unscored upon in 10 appearances. Andrew Miller replaced Tazawa and struck out Chris Davis to end the eighth with a man on base, then gave up a double to Jones to open the ninth.
A ground ball to the right side by Wieters advanced the runner to third, but Miller retired Lombardozzi on a tapper to the mound, Jones holding third, before John Farrell went to the bullpen again, summoning Edward Mujica, who struck out Lough to strand Jones.

Hello there,
after todays update "print friendly" button stop showing up on my site, any solution tot hat?
Hello there,
after todays update "print friendly" button stop showing up on my site, any solution tot hat?
Ack. What's the URL of your website?
I have the exact same problem. The plugin's settings are set to display the button on posts, but the button doesn't show up. Looks like the hosted JS isn't getting injected into the footer? My theme does call wp_footer(). The button also doesn't show when I manually add the call to pf_show_link() to single.php.
You can access blog posts that are missing the button at silkbush.com/blog/ (click through to view the single post).
I tried installing the plugin on a local dev version of WP and the settings page is hanging when I try to access it, so I can't troubleshoot very much.
http://kuchnianaobcasach.pl/ its my site url.
All was totally fine with PF untill update 3.2.2, now no matter what options i turn on or off, print button just do not show up.
I found that I had to check all the categories in the plug-in settings to get the button to show up again on posts.
@laserjobs has the right idea. It's hidden, a bad UI move on our part.
We've rolled back until we get this sorted out. Update to version 3.2.3 and that should get the buttons appearing.
Thanks for reporting and your patience.
Just launched another update, 3.2.4. Further improvements.
I just installed 3.2.4 and everything works great again. Thanks for the quick response!
I suggest making the default category display be 'all categories,' then allow users to disable specific categories. Might be more intuitive.
I'm really liking this plugin overall; great options and functionality!
Updated to 3.2.4 and all works again \o/
You rocks guys!
Thanks for your kind words and patience. We will be adding some polish to the categories option and bring back in the future.
This topic has been closed to new replies.
