Episode Summary
(courtesy of
Ed awakens from a nightmare where he is haunted by gruesome images of his mother and Nina. Consumed by the images in his nightmare, Ed along with Al make their way to headquarters in East City where they are greeted by Riza Hawkeye. Ed asks Riza what has become of Tucker and Nina, only to learn that Tucker was originally supposed to be put on trial and have his qualifications as a State Alchemist revoked, but was killed along with his daughter Nina. Meanwhile, in the city of Reole, it appears as though Father Cornello has once again gathered a group of loyal followers to preach his sermons to. The strange part of the matter is that Father Cornello should have died at the hands of his attackers Lust and Gluttony, yet here he is preaching to hundreds of loyal followers and proclaiming that the people of Reole should take up weapons and fight against their oppressor, the state military. Citizens who no longer believe the tainted words of Cornello turn against his new loyal followers, and a rebellion breaks out turning friend against friend. All is truly not as it seems as Father Cornello returns back to his previous attackers and transforms into an androgynous being who goes by the name of Envy. To make matters even stranger, this bizarre trio knows of Shou Tuckers death and the identity of the Fullmetal Alchemist who they proclaim has interfered with their work and who they long to use as a human sacrifice. Just exactly who they are and what they are up to remains a mystery.
Back in East City, Colonel Mustang and his subordinates learn the identity of the State Alchemist killer- a man who goes by the alias of Scar. Outside in the pouring rain, Ed muses over the meaning of alchemy and his own inability to protect Nina, but his thoughts are cut short when he is confronted by none other than Scar who attempts to murder him. The brothers enter into battle against Scar, who utilizes alchemy to destroy half of Al´s empty shell of armor and Ed´s automail arm so he can no longer transmute and therefore perform alchemy. Defenseless and in shock, Ed awaits his death at the hands of Scar, but is saved by Colonel Mustang and his subordinates. Unfortunately, Colonel Mustangs alchemy is useless on rainy days, so his subordinates work together in attempt to bring Scar, the man who murdered Tucker and Nina, down. Riza grazes Scar with one of her bullets, and ends up knocking off the glasses, only to discover that he has the red eyes of the Ishablan people who were slaughtered by State Alchemists in the infamous Ishbal Massacre. Scar escapes back into the sewers before he can be killed. After Scars escape, Al yells at his brother for being so willing to simply throw away his life and tells him that they need to value their lives and continue onward despite all obstacles. Latter, at headquarters in East City, the brothers plan their visit to their hometown of Risembool where Ed will be able to get his automail armed fixed by his childhood friend and mechanic Winry Rockbell.

More composed thoughts on the episode:
As an adaptation of the source material, the episode was excellent. The pacing was a tad hurried, but it felt more natural than the third episode, and was really just fast compared to the last, which was more word-heavy than action-packed. Little bits like Ed's nightmare, Alphonse telling Edward that they should survive to help more people like Nina, and the Ishbal flashbacks were well-appreciated.
A problem I had with the episode was that Scar just sort of appeared. In the manga, a soldier comes up to them and warns the brothers, and falls victim to Scar. This is necessary because the soldier is the reason Scar knows who Ed is and it shows exactly Ed what he's about to try to do to him.
The animation was all over the place, though. It felt like little emotional moments like Ed with Al in the alley when Al was scolding Ed were better animated than some of the action sequences. When Roy was talking with Armstrong and Hughes, there were some off-model moments. In fact, any time Riza appeared she looked different than before. I was disappointed that the episode wasn't well-animated throughout, because the material certainly deserved it.
The music is improving steadily. It's not as stand-out as Oshima's tracks, but at the same time, it compliments the scenes without obstructing it, so it serves its purpose. The voice acting is pretty good, too: Envy's new VA sounds a little less devious for now, but it's Dilandau's VA, so I'm sure she'll cut loose with him later on. Scar's new VA is so excellent, I like him just as much as the previous. Lust's is okay. I can't get use to Gluttony's new VA, though. I've gotten used to Shinichiro Miki's Roy.
It somewhat falls sort of the built up tension in the first series, though. We found out so much in episodes 14 and 15 of that series, and in the midst of a lot of action, without it seeming like people were just standing around talking while they should have been in action like here. I mean, really, with that many soldiers there, they couldn't have immobilized Scar? In the first series, Scar used his skills to scatter the troops. And Ed didn't put up as much of a fight here, either.
A good episode, but it didn't have as much impact as I thought it should have.
Fullmetal Alchemist is over! Thank you, Hiromu Arakawa! ;_;

Seven-year-old Savannah Ibbetson and her 5-year-old brother, David, started school this morning. Savannah is beginning life as a second-grader. Her little brother has become a kindergartner. Getting them to their assigned buildings was probably a real challenge, and not just because roads are still closed and bus routes have been changed.
One thing was certain — they won't be wearing any of the brand-new school clothes their parents had bought for them. Those muddy, soggy garments had to be thrown out, thanks to Hurricane Irene.
I was introduced to Savannah and David outside what used to be their home at Brookside Acres in Washingtonville late last week. As with other homes in the neighborhood, a trash bin was parked in the driveway. It's where all those school clothes ended up, along with many of the family's other possessions, left in ruins after the Moodna Creek floodwaters receded. It must have been impossible for the kids to process what they were seeing, as Mom and Dad, with help from friends and relatives, kept throwing pieces of the life they'd known into the trash heap.
Dave and Jaime Ibbetson, along with their three young children, were evacuated as water poured in that horrific night. Jaime says she never would have believed that it would be the last day in their house. They returned to find furniture destroyed, a caved-in floor, an army of ants, a thick layer of mud and a sickly smell.
While the grown-ups donned surgical masks and searched for anything worth saving, Savannah, David and their little sister sat outside, eating from a box of dry cereal.
What's next? For now, home is a room in a local motel. It's where Jaime and Dave go to bed each night, wondering what the future holds. And they're worried about their kids, the unwitting victims of a disaster that's turned young lives upside down.
Next door, Annie and James Smyth were sifting through the rubble left inside the family's condemned home. Their son, James, has been trying to find them a place to rent so they can begin restarting their lives. Annie did take solace in a small victory: She was able to save a T-shirt belonging to her 11-year-old daughter. On it were words that identified Emily as a cancer survivor. Now, the Smyths will try their hand at a different sort of survival.
Similar stories are being shared in all our storm-ravaged communities. But while homes and property have been wiped out, many of you refuse to give in to despair. And that's important when displaced youngsters look for a sign of hope in the eyes of their parents.
We hope all those traumatized kids found a little comfort in the smiling faces that greeted them when they got off the school bus this morning. Because no one deserves a good first day of school more than Savannah, David and all the rest of the children who no longer have their homes to go home to.

Best DS ProductFirst the metallic rose looks awesome and great
Feb 20, 2013
It's great!I got this Lite as a gift from my uncle from U.S. Since that day I have been busy with it because its awesome and has a very strong body. Mine is 4 years old but still in good condition and it has fallen by me many times. It is a little broken from the side but still it works the same way. But I would prefer PSP as it has better internet connection compared to Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi.

How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
As love from lies, or truth from art. (5-6)
Love. Lies. Truth. Art. Graves isn't pulling his punches. Nope, he wallops us with Huge Topic after Huge Topic. But why is truth, say, so contentious? Well, perhaps it's because we have cultural norms for what gets to count as truth—or, for that matter, what gets to count as art. And don't even get us started on love. There are like seven Sex and the City seasons devoted to the cultural quirks of lovers everywhere.
Quote #2
The Hippocratic eye will see
In nakedness, anatomy; (9-10)
Okay, so this isn't so much about culture as it is about anti-culture. That is, doctors learn to treat the body as anatomy. They're not born thinking about all the funny-sounding Latin names for bones. And along the way, they learn to un-think all the things that culture teaches us about nudity or nakedness.
Quote #3
While draping by a showman's trick (15)
Now we're getting somewhere. This is the first time that the speaker makes direct reference to art—which is sorta weird, considering that he's actually thinking a lot about a concept in its everyday and its artistic uses. But wait! Even this is, to quote our speaker, a "showman's trick." We think we're getting a description of the nude itself—after all, the language seems to suggest a 3-D form. But he's actually describing a word. Who "drapes" a word? That's some serious figurative language—about language.

One of my favorite books is a children's book called "The Carrot Seed" by Ruth Krauss. It's a simple story about a little boy who plants a carrot seed and tends it with great care, despite the discouraging remarks of his parents and big brother. In the end the boy is rewarded with a great big carrot, "just as he knew he would." It's a favorite because its simple story reveals the power of positive thought over unlikely odds.
Children actually have very little power and rely on the adults in their lives to take care of them in everyday ways, like these:
"I'm hungry. Can we make some lunch?"
"I want to play outside. May we go to the park?"
"I want to learn things. Will you help me plant a carrot?"
Because attention is what all children crave from their parents and others who love them, they will seek it through "good" or "bad" behaviors. When children get positive attention and feel supported by their parents and caregivers they are most likely to behave well, without continued reminders. Kids who get this message will act in ways that please their parents, rather than needing to act out in order to get any attention at all. Every day we can look for simple ways to give children attention about what they are doing "right" and reinforce these positive behaviors by saying things like:
"Of course you must be hungry — what a long walk we took. What shall we have for lunch that will be easy, taste good and help us rebuild our energy?"
"The park is so much fun. We won't have time today, but we should be able to go tomorrow!"
"Carrots are hard to grow because they have teeny tiny seeds and take a long time to grow. How about if we try radishes?"

When going to a job interview, you need to be prepared for a number of questions in order to leave the best impression and, of course, get the job. You need to have all the answers to potential questions carefully prepared and the best way to start preparing is to do thorough research of the company interviewing you. You need to know everything about the company in question, as well as how they treat their employees, so that you can really be sure that working for them is truly what you want. Appearance is very important as well, so you need to look impeccable to leave the best first impression of a professional person ready to take on the job and be the best at it. However, there is one particular question that comes up at every interview, yet no one is ever truly ready for it – the question of salary. If you're one of the people who get the creeps when they hear that question, read on to find out how not to freeze and how to successfully answer it to land the job.
Research the Company, but Know Your Worth as Well
Just like you prepare for any other interview question, you need to prepare for the salary question as well. Researching the company is the best head start for that, since that will give you an insight into how much they are paying for people with your skills and experience. You can do your research on the Internet and easily find out what the salary range for the job you are applying for is, so that you can know what to expect. Knowing the salary range beforehand is extremely important, because it's crucial not to settle for less than you are worth. More importantly, you should not settle for less than what you really want to earn and need in order to be able to support a normal life. If the research shows that the company is offering way less than what your expectations are, based either on your previous salary or simply on the objective awareness of your skills and expertise, then you should really not settle for that salary and accept the job offer. Knowing your fair-market value will make it much easier for you to know when to turn down an offer immediately and when to actually go to an interview and negotiate the salary.
Don't Disclose Your Past Salary
By putting your past salary on the table, you will lose every opportunity for the employers to make a higher offer. Your past salary may be too low, so you will leave an impression of someone who doesn't care that much for the pay and, more importantly, doesn't value his or her skills enough. On the other hand, if your past salary is much higher than what the employers are willing to offer you, they may screen you out immediately, which will leave you back at square one. Therefore, by not disclosing your previous pay, your potential employers may offer you a great salary for the job, maybe even higher than what you had expected. If they don't, then it's their loss, because some other company will know your true worth and give you a salary you deserve. Don't ever let something like that discourage you.
Wait for the Employer to Bring up the Salary Question
If you start talking about the salary before you're even asked that question, you will leave an impression that the salary is the only factor that matters to you about the job and that you will surely decline an offer if it doesn't satisfy your expectations. You need to show the employers that you are truly interested in their company and in doing the offered job, so it's best that you don't mention the salary at all. Talk about your achievements and accomplishments, your skills and experience, your overall expertise – those are your assets and they are what will get them to consider you further for the job. You need to market yourself and talking about your accomplishments will help you achieve your goal of getting the best salary offer and landing the job. Therefore, be confident and wait for the employers to bring up the salary question. Now, don't react too soon and accept or decline the offer right away. Show that you really appreciate the offer and show enthusiasm, but ask if you may take a day to sleep on it. It's better for you to let a little time pass, so that you can think about the offer clearly, without all the fuss and the joy of having a job interview, than to make a haste decision that you may regret later. When you ask for some time to think it all over, you will get the chance to see if the offered salary is flexible or not, so that will make your decision making much easier. If the offer meets your expectations and you accept the job – congratulations! But, if you happen to decline the offer, do it gracefully and confidently. You need to be friendly about it, because you never know – maybe you will do some business with them in the future, so don't burn any bridges along the way.
Preparing for a job interview is something you absolutely shouldn't take for granted. You must do it thoroughly and carefully to ensure you get your dream job. Remember to stay confident and remain positive, because that will certainly reflect on your potential employers and give off positive vibes, thus helping you impress them and land the job. Don't be afraid of the question regarding salary – believe in yourself and others will believe in you, too. Simply follow these useful tips, since they will guarantee your success at your next job interview that may turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you. Prepare in advance and get ready to knock them off their feet. Good luck!

United States Patent [191 Tarbox 1 Nov. 26, 1974 ROLLER BAND APPARATUS [76] Inventor: John W. Tarbox, 12936 Caminito de las Olas, Del Mar, Calif. 92014 [22] Filed: Jan. 11, 1974 [21] Appl. No.: 432,563
Primary ExaminerSamuel Scott Assistant ExaminerF. D. Shoemaker Attorney, Agent, or FirmRalph S. Branscomb [57] ABSTRACT Roller-band apparatus wherein rollers are entrapped in the loops of S-shaped portions of flexible bands, each pair of rollers in such an S-shaped portion of band being known as a cluster, between special parallel opposed surfaces of a guideway comprising relatively fixed rails having opposed surfaces with each surface consisting of two parallel tracks with a depression or slot therebetween to accept end portions of the band on each side of the cluster, the rollers having a similar depression or groove to accept an intermediate portion of the band at the cluster, and the band as well as at least one roller of each cluster having interengaging teeth, this feature enabling precision calibration. The rollers of each cluster have inter-engaging annular flanges and all the rollers have contact portions rolling on the opposed surfaces of the guideway.
The foregoing basic features are applied to an X-Y table with carriages having a pair of guideways each with a pair of clusters with certain of the rollers of opposed clusters connected and power driven and the carriages are mounted for movement at right angles to each other and thus adapted for manipulating circuit boards and the like during fabrication.
15 Claims, 5 Drawing Figures lllllllllllV-I .zw r as ROLLER BAND APPARATUS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The roller-band technological development commonly referred to under the name Rolamite, represents extensive research and is reflected in considerable literature, notably the Government Research Report SC-RR-67-656A and a short synopsis of various types SC-M-68-232A, entitled Introduction to the Rolamite Mechanical Design Concept including many variations of rollers, bands, and channel guideways.
Several U.S. Pats. have issued disclosing similar concepts and in the later patents specific embodiments of the roller-band principle involving one or more clusters and different types of bands. These U.S. Pats. include those numbered and dated as follows:
15,345 April, 1922, 175,215 February, 1876, 2,033,141 March, 1936, 3,643,048 February, 1972, 3,452,175 June, 1969, 3,467,139 September, 1969, 3,548,138 December, 1970, 3,488,098 January, 1970, 3,567,881 March, 1971, 3,641,296 February, 1972, 3,605,546 September, 1971, 3,688,063 August, 1972, 3,512,498 May, 1970, 3,452,309 June, 1969, 3,471,668 October, 1969, 3,617,669 November, 1971, 3,686,597 August, 1972, 3,643,049 February, 1972.
Proposals for the adaptation of the roller-band principle to industrial uses has included, among others, incorporation in accelerometers and switches, the principal advantage recognized being the extremely low sliding friction, the coefficient of friction is at least scientifically established as being on the order of 1 percent to percent of the published coefficient of friction in ball and roller bearings at low loads. Since the item bereindisclosed employs power-driven clusters it is important that the technical background relating to slippage be mentioned. The slippage of sliding between the band and rollers has been established as negligible with a properly tensioned band, the slippage being least in thinner bands, and the rolling friction being also negligible as reported in technical literature, as for example, the above-cited SC-M-68-232A.
The background related to X-Y tables is very extensive and need not be developed here in view of the fact that the hereindisclosed item is proposed as adaptable to various types of tables universally positionable about two or more axes, rather than being limited to a particular X-Y table construction. However, prior art multidirectional tables have frequently employed lead screws or rack and pinion systems with attendant high inertial and non-accuracy problems, or alternative electronic control systems with attendant complications and high cost. There exists a need, therefore, for a reasonably simple, very accurately controllable carriage drive means for multi-directional tables.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As claimed, this invention satisfactorily meets the immediately abovementioned need by providing a novel roller-band configuration employing clusters of rollers with narrow bands accomodated in annular depressions in both the rollers and aligned slots in the guideway surfaces, the latter being thus divided into co-planar tracks which the rolling contact portions of the rollers engage while annular flanges on the ends of the rollers interengage to impose a second positional relationship or parameter on the rollers, namely the spacing of the axes and more importantly, the spacing of the rolling contact portions of the rollers so that the band is not compressed between the rollers as in most prior rollerband configurations. The hereindisclosed roller-band arrangement is incorporated into an X-Y table with a pair of clusters in each of the channels for each carriage of the table, and a motor is connected to corresponding rollers in opposing channels for each carriage to drive the same. The slots in the rails of the channels may be provided with teeth, as may the annular depressions in certain of the rollers and the flexible band has corresponding teethfor accurate functioning, the band being very slightly extensible for calibration.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a top plan view of principal portions of an X-Y table incorporating the novel roller-band structure, with portions cut away;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2'2 of FIG.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 33 of FIG.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 4-4 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 5 is a further enlarged sectional view taken on line 5-5 of FIG. 4.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION The X-Y table structure as illustrated includes a frame or guideway 10 having fixed parallel channelled rails l2-l2 which for ease in reference can be thought of as each having a pair of upper co-planar tracks 14 and a parallel pair of lower co-planar tracks 16 as best shown in FIG. 5, with slots 18 and 20 therebetween and extending longitudinally of the rails 12. For purposes of description the co-planar tracks 14 may be considered as constituting an upper rolling surface and the coplanar tracks 16 as constituting a lower rolling surface, and these rolling surfaces co-act with roller band assemblies, hereinafter described in detail, to support a lower carriage 22 having opposing beams 24 and rails 26 generally similar to the rails 12 and carried by the beams 24, this sub-assembly of beams 24 and rails 26 constituting a second guideway similar to the guideway 10 but since it is movable it is referred to herein as the lower carriage. A second or upper carriage 28 is mounted on rails 26 and likewise includes roller-band means hereinafter described supporting upper carriage beams 30 which carry the table 32 as shown in phantom in FIG. 1.
In each of said rails 12 and 26 there are mounted pairs of roller-band clusters 34, each pair having a single band 36. Both ends of each band are adjustably secured to the same rail by means 40 and 42, illustrated best at the left hand side of FIG. 4 as a slide bar 44 connected as indicated at 46 to the band 36 and retained in the channel of the rail by a cross-piece 48 while adjustable longitudinally of the rail and band by a manually adjustable screw 50 threaded through a portion of the rail. A complete band and associated parts can be very slightly shifted longitudinally of the rail, when required, by selective adjustment of the two means 42 at the ends of the rail.
Each roller band cluster comprises two rollers 52 and 54 which may, if desired, be identical. A preferred orientation of the rollers is illustrated in the drawing, namely, an arrangement with the clusters oppositely inclined and spaced apart. The rollers 52 are free and the rollers 54 are mounted on the beams 24 and 30by spindles 56 and 58, the first mentioned spindles being mounted to and between an opposing pair of rollers 54, preferably fixedly, and at least one of the rollers in each set of roller-band clusters being fixed to a spindle 58 which is driven as by an electric motor 62 mounted on an adjacent beam 24 or 30. The rollers each have rolling contact portions 64 which engage the tracks 14 and 16, and annular rim flanges 66 at each end, these rim flanges being the only inter-contacting portions of the rollers. These rim flanges determine the spacing of the rolling contact portions 64 of the rollers in a cluster and indirectly the inclination of the cluster as a second parameter determining the configuration of the elements in a two-pair set of roller-band clusters as illustrated in FIG. 4, the four rollers of course being held in position by a tightened band 36.
The band 36 is very slightly extensible and may be provided with regularly spaced transverse teeth 68 on one side thereof, while one roller of each cluster, as indicated at 70, has similarly dimensioned teeth engaging the belt. in addition, the root portion of one slot 18, as indicated best at 72 in FIG. 4, may be similarly toothed and that part of the band stretched between the clusters 34 may then present some of its teeth 68 for engagement with the toothed rack at 72, and extensibility of the band enables use of one or both means 42 to obtain perfect contrapositioning of the clusters as well as perfect calibration of said part of the band with the rack 72.
To avoid slippage, the effective or pitch diameter of the annular depressions 74 of the rollers must be substantially equal, consideration being given to the elasticity and thickness of the band 36, and this effective or pitch diameter will always be substantially equal to the diameter of the rolling contact portions 64, making the dimension of the slots 18 and 20 somewhat arbitrary although the slots 18 and 20 always aid in preventing lateral abberation in the band.
Provision of the annular rim flanges 66 on the rollers spaces the rolling contact portions 64 of the rollers and provides clearance for the band 36. This feature is further implemented by provision of undercuts or annular depressions 74 in each roller between the rolling contact portions 64, and it should be noted that the above-mentioned transverse teeth 70 in the corre-' sponding rollers are located in this depression 74.
The pitch circumference of the roller is chosen to be an exact multiple of a standard unit of length such as an inch or centimeter. The toothed band and rollers 54 have a matching circular pitch. The slight extensibility of the band enables the achievement of matching exactitude in the circular pitch dimension in the band.
Channels 76 in the rails 12 and 26 receive the rim flanges 66 of the rollers and prevent lateral drifting of the rollers. The confronting faces of the channels 76 and flanges 66 may be chamfered or bevelled as indicated in FIG. 5. When the hereindescribed roller-band configurations are incorporated in an X-Y table or the like as described above, suitable controls such as stepping switches, not shown, are used to operate the motor 62 in each carriage 22-28 so that the table 32 is given a controlled two-directional movement and this movement can be very rapid and accurately controlled.

Setters and the Pointer (English)
English Setter
The magnificent Pointer with its unique head is as legendary as the three conventional Setter breeds together with the modern Red and White Setter. The History of Setters relates how they were developed for fowling, which is the capturing of wild birds with a net. The dogs mesmerized the birds by staring at them, then the huntsmen or fowlers threw a net over them, selecting the birds they wished to cook, and letting the small or young birds go free[1] . Once the shotgun was invented in the early 1800's the the Setting Spaniel began working with shooters and the Setters and Pointers developed into the breeds we know today. Now, almost two centuries later, Setters and Pointers today still retain the instinct for finding birds.
How the Setters and the Pointer (English) Worked
Pointer Working in Australia c 1920
The dog(s) begin by searching for birds around the edges of the field. This helps to burn off the dog's initial exuberance. It also assist the dogs to establish their bearings and familiarise themselves with the type of smells are required to seek. The dogs then systematically work back and forth, starting near the huntsman and gradually working further and further afield until the bird or game is found. When two dogs work as a team, one works close to the huntsman while the other goes further afield. If either dog finds game, the other dog assists. The correct manner in which the dog assists is to be aware of where the huntsmen and the other dog are positioned. They also respond should the huntsmen send them towards an area such as undergrowth beside a river.
English Setter working in Australia 1934
Once game is detected, the dog freezes, the Pointer in an upright position than the Setters which generally crouch. If other dogs are present, they also freeze, "honouring" the first dog's point. The pointing or setting dog remains motionless until the huntsman is in position. The huntsman might also give a command instructing the dog to remain still. In times gone by, the dogs had to 'freeze' while a net was thrown over the bird(s). But once guns came into use, the bird was shot.
Many modern Setters and Pointers still retain this instinct to spot birds and 'freeze', despite never having been used for their original purpose. It is recorded that the very first dog show held in Newcastle upon Tyne in England in 1859 was exclusively for Setters and Pointers. So historically, these breeds are very important, their good looks retaining popularity for almost two centuries.

|Nets' Paul Pierce out 2-4 weeks with broken hand, will miss game vs. Celtics
|12.02.13 at 12:18 pm ET
Nets swingman Paul Pierce is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a non-displaced fracture of the third metacarpal of his right hand, the team announced Monday.
The injury is likely to force Pierce to miss next Tuesday's game vs. the Celtics in Brooklyn.
Pierce was injured in the first half of Friday night's 114-95 loss to the Rockets.
Pierce is averaging 12.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 15 games this season, his first in Brooklyn following the offseason trade that also included Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry leaving Boston.
The Nets are 5-12 and ahead of only the Knicks in the Atlantic Division.
|Paul Pierce just made this Celtics season a little sadder
|11.04.13 at 10:34 am ET
As if this Celtics season wasn't sad enough so far, American Express just released this Paul Pierce ad. "The more I embrace Brooklyn, the more Brooklyn embraces me. It feels good being here. It feels like I'm home."
P.S. Seriously, though, it's nice to see Pierce embracing the Brooklyn community the way he did Boston.
|Avery Johnson: 'Rebuilding was the right move' for Celtics
|10.23.13 at 4:10 pm ET
While New England is concentrating on the World Series, Avery Johnson will be focused only on Wednesday night's preseason game between the Nets and the Celtics at TD Garden.
Johnson, who coached the Nets for 2½ seasons and was dismissed shortly after the Celtics trounced Brooklyn last Christmas, will be adding a very distinct voice to the ESPN airwaves this season, sharing his insight every Wednesday on "NBA Countdown."
In a one-on-one interview with WEEI.com, Johnson shared his thoughts on the state of the Celtics, as well as the Nets' decision to go all-in.
'This is a totally different year for the Celtics,' Johnson said. 'A lot of the pieces that were there last year, those guys are pretty much in the twilight and near the end of their careers. They still had a lot of great basketball in them and can carry a team during the regular season, but that was an aging team.'
Johnson, known as the 'Little General' during his playing career, believes the Celtics were never the same after Ray Allen's departure to Miami as a free agent last offseason.
'The loss of Ray Allen was too much,' Johnson said. 'They never really were able to fill his shoes in terms of the great work he did on the court for the Celtics over the years during their championship runs.'
Similar to the beginning of his run with the Nets, a team that only won 24 games in 2011, Johnson sees a team in Boston with an uncertain future.
'This was a team that needed to change,' Johnson said. 'Obviously we didn't know the change would occur with Doc Rivers not being a part of it, but everything's changed. Now the Celtics have a lot of pieces they're still trying to figure out. They're still working on how they're going to play defensively and offensively, and where they're going, not only now, but in the future.'
|LeBron James doesn't get free agency vs. trades
|10.17.13 at 1:12 pm ET
Apparently, LeBron James thinks leaving for free agency is the same as being traded, since he's equating Ray Allen's defection to Miami to the trade that shipped Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to Brooklyn.
"There were a couple guys who basically [expletive] on Ray for leaving, and now they're leaving," the four-time NBA MVP told ESPN.com. "That's the nature of our business, man. I don't know what Boston was going through at the end of the day. I know Ray had to make the best decision for him and his family and his career. Doc [Rivers], KG and Paul did that as well. You can't criticize someone who does something that's best for their family."
Dwyane Wade said something similar, albeit more confusing. "People say things about people when they do something when they themselves would do the same thing. It's about putting yourself in the best situation, and at the end of the day we all do that. You can't really say anything about someone that does it for themselves."
This whole things stems from Pierce's failure to forgive Allen and KG's "I don't have Ray's number anymore" comments. Rivers also chastised Allen for leaving, so I understand calling him out for wanting out of Boston, but given their druthers Pierce and Garnett would still be playing for the Celtics. The former wanted to retire a Celtic, and the latter wanted to retire if he wasn't going to be a Celtic. They reluctantly accepted a trade to the Nets.
That's different than choosing the Heat in free agency. Allen made a conscious decision to leave Pierce and Garnett last season. Pierce and Garnett were going to be separated against their will this year. But I don't expect LeBron to understand that, since he's basically still defending himself taking an expletive on Cleveland.
Next thing you're going to tell me Dwight Howard wanted the Magic to retire his number.
|Fast Break: Paul Pierce's ugly Celtics reunion
|10.15.13 at 10:19 pm ET
Paul Pierce's first game against his former team had to be this ugly. The Nets and Celtics combined for 95 missed field goals and 43 turnovers in a brutal 82-80 Brooklyn victory, and that doesn't even do it justice.
The Celtics held Pierce to just four points on six shots in 27 minutes, but Brooklyn bigs Brook Lopez and Andray Blatche, who started in place of a reluctantly resting Kevin Garnett, combined for 34 points in a winning effort.
Meanwhile, five Celtics scored in double figures — Courtney Lee (14 points), Kris Humphries (12), Jeff Green (12), Kelly Olynyk (10) and Jordan Crawford (10) — as the C's showed some encouraging signs despite dropping to 1-4 in their first preseason without Pierce since 1998.
|Celtics at Nets: Paul Pierce in, Kevin Garnett out
|at 10:18 am ET
Paul Pierce is expected to play when his new team hosts his former team in the preseason on Tuesday night, but Kevin Garnett won't be in the Nets lineup against the Celtics, and he's none too pleased about it.
'It wasn't my decision, so that's where I'm going to leave that," Garnett, who already voiced his displeasure in coach Jason Kidd's plan to rest him on back-to-backs, told the New York media after Monday's win in Philadelphia. 'I'm trying to be as positive as I can. It's not up to me. I'm being positive and go with the plan that was laid out for me and being positive with that. So I'm trusting Jason and the plan he has for myself. … I just feel like every day you have a chance to better your craft and be part of the group, I'd like to be a part of that.'
Pierce has already expressed to reporters that he will not be in the Brooklyn lineup when the Nets come to Boston for the final game of the Celtics preseason on Oct. 23. The same is expected to be true for Garnett.
Meanwhile, Jeff Green pulled a KG "I don't have Ray Allen's number anymore" after Monday's Celtics practice. 'I haven't spoke to none of them since they got traded," he said. "Probably [Jason Terry] is the last person I talked to out of them. It just got to the point where it was time to move on for me. They're gone. I can't worry about how they feel or how I feel. The trade happened. When I see them, brief words and then I'll get ready to play.'
Now, if only Green can back up that statement the way Garnett did in 2011-12. He's currently shooting a team-worst 27.5 percent from the field on a team-high 10.0 field goal attempts per game and averaging fewer points in more minutes than Phil Pressey. Perhaps that's what Brandon Bass was trying to say here: 'We don't have our OG's anymore, so the young G's got to step up and be old G's now and go out and play. It's sunk in."
|Rajon Rondo isn't shedding any tears over Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett
|09.30.13 at 8:52 pm ET
Addressing the Boston press for the first time since the Celtics traded Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett this summer, the rehabbing Rajon Rondo didn't seem all that bothered by their absence at Media Day.
"It wasn't difficult at all," said Rondo. "I didn't feel anything. I actually landed in L.A. the night of the draft, and I got about 45 text messages coming through my phone. I thought I was traded. You never know."
Instead, the Celtics had dealt Pierce and Garnett, the face and the soul of the franchise that drafted him. So, Rondo traded texts with his longtime teammates, even talked to them on the phone, but beyond that?
"It's part of the business," added Rondo. "They're not the first teammates that I've been close to who have been traded away — Perk [Kendrick Perkins], Tony Allen — so it's part of the process."
Rondo has developed quite a poker face during his interactions with the media, so it's no surprise he didn't show any emotion when talking about two players he called brothers for the past six seasons. However, the anticipation in Rondo's voice over the possibility of putting his own stamp on these new C's was palpable.
"This is a fresh start for us, a new coach and an entire new team," he said. "I'm excited about the fresh start. I'm excited every year for each team, but for me to get back on the court I just want to compete. I haven't competed in a while, and I'm a very competitive player and a very competitive person, so I miss being out their on the court with my teammates and helping them win."
And what about Doc Rivers, the coach who molded Rondo into a four-time NBA All-Star point guard?

Tonganoxie High students ready to serve their community
April 29, 2009
More than 600 Tonganoxie High School students will be lending helping hands from 9 a.m.-noon Wednesday, May 6.
The second annual Community Service Day will get started with a pancake feed for all THS students. Then, in groups of 10-12 students, with a staff member leading each group, students will disperse to do work at various places: Tonganoxie Nursing Center, Leavenworth County Fairgrounds, local parks and U.S. Highway 24-40 for litter cleanup, among other spots.
Students also will be helping out various residents.
"If anybody out there is in need of a group of kids to pull weeds, scrape paint, any general chores people can't manage on their own, we'd love to send a group of kids out to help them," said Pam Arevalo, a THS instructor who is coordinating the service day with THS principal Jamie Carlisle and high school leadership classes.
In the afternoon, students will take part in a field day at Beatty Field.
Arevalo said individuals interested in receiving assistance should contact her at the high school, (913) 845-2654, or by email: email@example.com.

2015 Season Highlight
Definitely the genuineness and gratitude of the people I ran into on trips this year. Meeting really cool local riders from other countries always stands out to me. There's truly no boundaries, we all share a common bond which is snowboarding. Top trip this season had to be Alaska. You can never beat how unbelievable the mountains are there - so steep and shreddable.
Favorite Jones Boards
The Carbon Solution 61 is my go to board. It's easily adaptable to any terrain and I rode it on heavy lines in Utah and in Italy last winter. The Aviator 61 is my favorite solid board in the Jones line. The Aviator is super high speed and responsive with a snappy flex and an insane shape. I took the Aviator all around the world this year and it handled everything - Utah, Europe, Chile, New Zealand. I also rode the Ultracraft in Utah and the PNW. The Ultracraft is the future. If I'm doing a big tour day and weight is an issue, I'm taking the Ultracraft.
Why do you snowboard?
For the freedom of it. It's all about the moment when you combine your own energy and the energy of whatever it is your snowboarding - riding your home resort, the park, or the backcountry. When you're in that moment nothing else matters. I also enjoy how snowboarding brings me into the mountains and tunes me into the natural environment around me.
What inspires you to keep snowboarding?
Snowboard shapes are really keeping me stoked to ride everyday. No matter what conditions are like you can find a totally different feeling with each board. Eskimos have so many different words for snow. With a snowboard there's so many ways it can be ridden.
What does your dream line look like?
My dream line would be sick face with good snow and a stable snow pack there would be a couple deep surf slash pow turns up top into a rad spine line with maybe a cliff air after it then there would be a good natural tranny to hit with a good landing to go as big as you want then maybe a fun highspeed run out to go fast on. I would get to the bottom and watch my friends shred it too.
What's one lesson or reminder you learned in the backcountry recently?
Avalanches can happen anywhere, even in bounds areas. Study the terrain, get an understanding for the snow pack, and have a plan. Don't let your guard down. Always a good reminder to have your red flags and mental check list to go back to if you don't feel right about a line or backcountry route. Lastly enjoy snowboarding. No complaining allowed.
Shred goals for 2016?
Live slower, eat slower, turn my snowboard more, stretch more, and ride everyday. Manifest the trips I still want to take to destinations I've never been. If you imagine it, it's possible.
