|Doc Rivers on his Celtics: 'Honestly, they believe they can win'
|06.06.12 at 2:08 am ET
After winning three straight games to dig themselves out of an 0-2 hole to the heavily-favored Miami Heat, the Celtics are on the verge of one of the most improbable trips to the NBA finals, even by their most-lofty franchise standards. Doc Rivers said after Tuesday's 94-90 win in Game 5 in Miami that the reason the Celtics never give up on a game in hostile territory is because of the makeup of his veteran locker room.
"It's just a good team, a close-knit team," Rivers answered when questioned about his players' supreme confidence. "They talk that way. We have a lot of positive talk in our locker room, a lot. And it fuels from them. And honestly, they believe they can win. And we just have to keep hanging in there."
One reason the Celtics believe they can win is history. In the Big Three era — beginning in 2008 — the Celtics are now 9-0 in Game 5 contests in which the series was tied, 2-2. On Tuesday, they didn't crumble when they fell behind by 13 in the first half and were shooting just 33 percent at halftime.
After watching his team hold on, Rivers said he reminded his team after the emotional win not to lose focus on the task at hand, namely closing out the supremely talented LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Miami Heat in Boston Thursday and not give them the chance to return the Eastern Conference finals to Miami on Saturday.
"I told them, 'We've done nothing.' We're playing a heck of a basketball team. And so, just because we're going to Boston, I told them, 'We have to play. They're not going to give it to us. We have to go get it,' " Rivers said.
Rivers is also known as one of the most inspirational coaches in the NBA. He had to go deep into that well Tuesday night as his team fell behind 31-18 in Game 5 to the Heat. Miami was hitting most of its open shots while the Celtics started off 4-of-17.
"We're just hanging in there," Rivers said after the 94-90 win that put the Celtics one win from the NBA finals. "They jumped up on us at the beginning of the game. We just told our guys, 'Hang in there, just hang in there. Don't overreact. Hang in there. The longer we're in the game, the better we'll play.' It was really nice." Read the rest of this entry »
|Mickael Pietrus: The secret weapon against LeBron James
|06.04.12 at 4:16 am ET
Before Red Auerbach kept Dwyane Wade from knocking down the potential game-winner 3-pointer at the buzzer in overtime, Mickael Pietrus made sure Miami's other superstar wouldn't end it in regulation.
'I try to play tough, because you have to respect the jersey you're playing for," was all Pietrus would say about his pressure on LeBron James as the Miami power forward was jammed by Pietrus at the top of the circle as the clock wound down. Then Pietrus fed James off to the right, where there were two more Celtics waiting to help out.
Triple-teamed, James was forced to dump off to Udonis Haslem who missed a jumper at the buzzer, sending the game game to overtime, 89-89.
What was also remarkable about the play at the end of regulation was that the situation was identical to the end of Game 2. That's when the Celtics got away with Rajon Rondo guarding a player eight inches taller when James missed a fallaway at the end of regulation. Doc Rivers wasn't going to allow that to happen again. He put Pietrus on him and made sure he had help by funneling James into a triple-team.
Pietrus kept it up in the overtime. With Boston desperately trying to protect a one-point lead, the Celtics missed consecutive shots. But there was Pietrus flying in from the weak side and picking up the rebound to extend the Celtics possession. Those two rebounds took a total of 45 seconds off the clock at a most-critical time.
'The last two were huge. Sometimes that's what it takes to win basketball games," Pietrus said. "You can always count on me if you want to win games. I'm going to play hard. That's what I did for my team tonight. My main focus is to go to Miami now and try and get another win.
'If I don't have my shot I won't get frustrated because I know we have legends on the floor. You have to respect them. As far as right now I'm trying to focus on what the team needs the most. From me that's defense and rebounding.'
|Doc Rivers and Celtics: 'Last year was last year… We don't want a repeat of that'
|06.03.12 at 7:14 pm ET
Try as they might, the national and local media was unsuccessful in the 45 hours since the end of Friday's Boston's win over the Heat in Game 3 to draw the Celtics in to comparing last year to this year against LeBron James and company.
"I don't even remember last year, to be honest with you," said Paul Pierce when asked about the details of the 4-1 loss to the Heat in the Eastern semifinals last year.
"I don't, really," Doc Rivers said when asked if he recalled Boston winning Game 3 in 2011 before losing a heart-breaker in Game 4 in overtime. "I know we lost. I think that's the game Rondo got injured but I'm not even sure of that. Oh, it was Game 3. I don't even remember. That tells you what I remember."
Indeed, the inspired Celtics overcame the dislocation of Rajon Rondo's left elbow in a collision with Dwyane Wade in Game 3. They had a great chance to tie the series when Ray Allen drilled a three to put the Celtics up, 84-81, with 2:28 left. But James hit a three of his own 28 seconds later and James hit a jumper to put Miami up, 86-84. Pierce hit a jumper to tie it, 86-86, with 41 seconds left. After a James turnover, the Celtics had the last 19.5 seconds left to win it. They had to settle for a missed fadeaway from Pierce with 0.9 seconds remaining. '
In that game, Kevin Garnett had seven points and made just 1-of-10 from the field in 41 minutes. That cannot happen again for the Celtics to win Game 4, something they failed to do in 2011.
"We just want to be consistent in how we play," Pierce said. "Last year was last year. It's over with. We don't want a repeat of that so we just have to be consistent in everything we're trying to do. We're going to continue to try and get him the ball, get as many as touches out of him as possible. We know that's been working for us. So, when Kevin gets it going from the inside, it really opens up things for a lot of us on the perimeter."
The Celtics would be outscored 12-4 in overtime in the game that would essentially seal Boston's playoff fate in five games.
"We had opportunities," Rivers reflected. "Clearly, we had a couple of great shots. I think we had a terrible possession now that I think about it before overtime. Our last possession [of regulation]. Thanks for bringing that up."
|Celtics-Heat Game 4: All about adjustments
|at 2:10 pm ET
WALTHAM — There's little doubt the Heat will try to get Dwyane Wade more involved in Game 4 as they look to take a 3-1 series lead and have the chance to clinch the Eastern Conference finals at home on Tuesday in South Beach.
But to do that, they will have to solve what the Celtics have been throwing at them – namely double-teams and various switches on coverage. Let Paul Pierce explain:
"We tried to collapse on him when he has the ball," Pierce said. "He does a lot of isolation from the top [of the circle] so we just try to sink in. We know how great he can be driving to the hole in the half-court. When he comes off the pick-and-roll, we want to trap him as much as possible. We don't really want to get him going. We know they're going to get the majority of opportunities between him and LeBron but he's one of the guys we feel like we can kind of corral with Kevin and myself with the size advantage that we have."
Do things change if Chris Bosh returns?
"We haven't seen that," Pierce added. "We'll make our adjustments definitely if Bosh is out there playing. You can't trap as much because he's another perimeter threat, another scoring threat. We'll have to see.
"Always in-game decisions and adjustments are important, especially when things don't work out. That's part of the game. When one thing isn't going right, you have to make that adjustment. We figure we have to get to their shooters. They made a lot of 3-point shots in Game 2 so that's something we had to make an adjustment to get to the shooters a little bit better. We did a better job at that. We did a better job of keeping them out of the paint and did a better job of keeping them off the free throw line. So, every game is different. When you realize your mistakes, that's when the adjustments come in."
As for attacking Miami's defense, even with LeBron James and Wade on the court, Pierce says they have to keep attacking the low post.
"I think we have the size advantage with [Kevin Garnett] and [Brandon Bass], especially when they go small a lot," Pierce said. "The emphasis is to try to get the ball in the paint as much as possible and if they collapse, find our shooters. That's been the thing the whole season, we want to play inside-to-out as long as they're good shots.
"I thought we just moved the ball a lot better. The ball didn't stick. They're a great defensive team and when the ball is sticking on one side of the floor and they're loading up. I thought the ball really moved. We set harder screens, we cut a little bit better and that frees up everybody when we play that way." Read the rest of this entry »
|Doc Rivers on Rajon Rondo: 'Phenomenal … tough for him to play that way and not win the game'
|05.31.12 at 1:55 am ET
It was almost as painful as the bulging disk in his back that caused him to wince at the opening of his press conference. Doc RIvers took to the podium after his Celtics lost a heart-breaker in overtime to try and put perspective on his point guard's record-setting night.
Rajon Rondo became the first player in the long, illustrious history of the Celtics to score at least 40 points and dish out at least 10 assists in a playoff game but his mood and the mood of the team was tempered after a 115-111 loss to the Heat Wednesday night that put the Celtics in a 2-0 hole in the Eastern Conference finals. Rondo finished with 44 points, 10 assists and was just two rebounds shy of his fourth triple-double of this playoff season.
"He was absolutely phenomenal," Rivers said. "He put the whole team — at times — on his shoulders. It's tough for him to play that way and not win the game, honestly, because he did basically everything right. We had a lot of opportunities to win the game."
"It's kind of irrelevant," Rondo said. "We lost. It's as simple as that."
Rondo had three steals and just three turnovers, remarkable considering the point guard played all 53 minutes of the epic playoff contest. He became just the eighth player in NBA history to play all 53 minutes of a playoff game. But Rondo maintained that he was not tired in the late stages of the game.
"I felt fine," Rondo said. "It was a mental grind for me, individually, and for us as a team. Kevin played extra minutes, we all did. There's no turning back. It's the conference finals so I wanted to play every minute. I thought I didn't hurt my team by me playing every minute so I wanted to go out there and continue to do the best for my team."
"It just happened during the game," Rivers said of Rondo's minutes. "You just read it. I don't start the game saying I'm going to play Rondo the whole game. I just kind of read the situation. He was playing at a pretty good pace so we just rode him."
Rondo said the Celtics are confident that the home crowd can help them get back in the series. The Celtics enter Friday's Game 3 with a 6-1 home mark at TD Garden in these playoffs and have lost just twice in their last 21 home games dating back to Feb. 13.
"We have the next two at home," Rondo said. "We had two tough losses on the road but it's a seven-game series. We're playing very well at home as of late. We're looking forward to it."
Doc Rivers attempted to hide his frustration with the discrepancy in the fouls Wednesday night as the Celtics fell 115-111 in overtime to the Heat at American Airlines Arena. The Celtics were whistled for 33 fouls while the Heat were called for just 18 in 53 minutes of action.
"It is what it is," Rivers said. "LeBron James took 24 free throws tonight and our team took 29. Paul Pierce fouled out of a game where he was attacking the basket. It's just tough. We have to just keep playing. I tell our guys, 'It doesn't matter. We can't get distracted.' We will not get distracted in this series. I guarantee you, right now, they're distracted, our team in the locker room but we have to get out of us and move on. Whatever happened, happened. We just have to move on and play the next game."
Two key plays will stand out to Celtics fans who feel they were robbed of the chance to win Game 2. Pierce was called for his sixth and final foul with 1:05 when Dwyane Wade drove to the basket and turned his back into Pierce. Then, with the game tied, 105-105, and 1:35 left in overtime, replays show Rondo was raked across the face on a drive to the basket by Wade. There was no call as the Heat scored the next seven points to put the game on ice.
"It was obvious, but I really can't comment about that play in particular. It's part of the game. That was a big swing for us. I think we had the momentum. There was a lot of controversy out there, and it just didn't go our way," Rondo said afterward at the podium next to Ray Allen, who added, "We all thought he got hit, I'll say it."
Rivers joked with a reporter who was asking him to comment on the "50-50" calls that seem to all go against the Celtics in Game 2.
"Can you call it something other than 50-50 calls? Can you come up with another percentage for me?" Rivers said with a smile. "We're not going to blame [the officials]. We have to play better and we will."
|Doc Rivers calls his technical 'worst I've ever had'
|05.29.12 at 12:03 am ET
Celtics coach Doc Rivers made his displeasure with his technical foul very clear following a Game 1 loss to the Heat at American Airlines Arena in South Florida. Rivers was whistled for a technical foul by referee Ed Malloy with 3:13 left in the second quarter when he uttered the words, "Come on, Ed."
"I know mine wasn't [deserved]," Rivers said. "I don't know how long I've been in the league, but that has to rank as the worst I've ever had. I would have liked to have earned it."
Malloy called a technical foul on Rivers and then called one on Rajon Rondo midway through the third after Rondo and Shane Battier became entangled after a Brandon Bass basket. Rondo appeared to push Battier away, trying to get loose. Earlier in the game, referee Danny Crawford called a tech on Ray Allen after Allen was demonstrative after a call on him. Crawford then whistled Kevin Garnett for a delay of game technical for tapping the ball out of bounds after a Celtics basket.
"We should never get them, I told our guys," Rivers said, before adding, "Everybody has to keep their composure, not just just the players and coaches."

Tony Blair has probably done more than any other world leader to get climate change on the global to-do list. He recognised the scale of the challenge and called for urgent action based on the best scientific advice. He went so far as to label global warming the greatest long-term problem we face. Yet, on his watch, UK emissions of carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, have risen. Yes, Britain remains on track to meet its commitment under the Kyoto Protocol to cut emissions of a wider basket of greenhouse gases by 2012, but only because pollution from the aviation and shipping industries is not counted in those calculations. By any reasonable measure, Britain causes more climate change now than it did in 1997.
Blair likes targets, and 10 years ago he promised the UK would produce 20% less carbon dioxide by 2010, as well as generating 10% of its electricity from renewable sources. The government recently admitted it would miss the first target, and the second looks shaky. Undeterred, he has pushed through two more: a legally binding 60% reduction in CO2 by 2050, and an EU pledge for 20% renewable energy (not just electricity) by 2020. Both could require sweeping changes across all sectors of society. Meanwhile, airports are being expanded and grants for homeowners wishing to fit solar panels remain pitifully low. Asked whether he would consider cutting back on his long-haul holidays, Blair said such personal actions were impractical.
The contrast between Blair's warm words and the resulting hot air says more about the problem than the prime minister. Britain is, after all, doing much better than most. And, as Blair points out, this is not an issue that can be tackled by individual countries. His focus has been on securing a new global agreement, which, unlike the existing Kyoto Protocol, appeals to the US and makes meaningful demands on China, India and Brazil. Downing Street is desperate for a breakthrough on such a deal at the coming G8 summit in Germany, in time for their man to claim a share of the credit. .
While president of the Royal Society, Sir Robert May, Blair's former chief scientific adviser, warned that the prime minister's poor record on climate change at home threatened his credibility abroad. Blair may still prove him wrong, but he is running out of time.

Investors twig on to carbon
Relevant offers
Retail investors are within sight of turning their carbon credits into cash, writes Rob Stock.
RETAIL FOREST investors are on the cusp of claiming early windfalls from carbon credits.
Although private forest owners have been selling carbon credits already – there's talk of Waikato farmers holidaying in Bermuda on the proceeds – ordinary people who have bought into forest partnerships have not been offered the same opportunity.
The credits – officially, New Zealand Units – are the currency of the Emissions Trading Scheme, which is being phased in to put a price on the carbon that polluting enterprises emit.
A hectare of pine trees stores around 30 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, and each tonne of carbon dioxide sequestered entitles the owner to one carbon credit.
The system allows investors, who previously had to wait until harvest for a return on their money (excluding tax deductions), to extract early income from their trees.
Although talk of carbon credit funds for retail investors has come to nothing yet, two of the better-known forestry investment firms are close to introducing carbon credit sales mechanisms for retail investors.
Greenplan, which has some 12,000ha of forest investments, says it is within weeks of issuing investment statements to forest unit investors introducing carbon trading.
That would allow some investors to take income ahead of harvest, which is still many years away for some investors, said Greenplan's John Barton.
Another, Roger Dickie New Zealand, which has planted 83 forests for retail and wealthy private investors, is soon to launch the prospectus for its Greenwood Forest Limited Partnership, a forestry investment near Gisborne. The establishment costs would be recouped for investors through the sale of carbon credits in the first 13 years of the forest's life.
Cashflow now to cover start-up costs is welcome on an investment where harvest is 28 or more years away, but carbon credit trading has its risks and forestry enterprises are proceeding with caution.
Forest owners face costs associated with creating carbon credits and five-yearly audits.
Being allowed to create carbon credits brings future liabilities.
If the forest is harvested or destroyed, the owner has to surrender the credits it created. If they have been sold, the owner would have to buy a carbon credit and surrender it to the government to make up for the loss of the sequestered carbon. That involves extra costs to pay for extensions to insurance on forests, though there was no insurance available to cover destruction by pests.
Selling carbon credits early in the life of a forest also introduces a new risk, that of the units rising in price, thereby potentially devastating returns at harvest.
New Zealand units are currently trading in the range of $18-$20, but the market is in its infancy and no one knows where the price will go in the future, or even if the Emissions Trading Scheme will continue to exist.
Steve Wilton, managing director of Forest Enterprises, says many questions remain unanswered, such as how much creating them and paying for the compliance audits every five years will cost.
Wilton said more details would be known later this year, and it was likely Forest Enterprise investors would be encouraged to pay to create credits, but then "bank" them to see how the market developed.
"You have to be extraordinarily cautious and understand all the variables," Wilton said.
Roger Dickie reckons there is also a level of carbon credit sales that would be acceptable which would result in no need to buy credits back to surrender at harvest, providing the forest was then replanted. A certain proportion of carbon sequestered by forests is in the roots and stumps which remain in place after harvest.
Dickie said the ability to create and sell carbon credits was a "revolution in forestry" that could help the industry expand, which would be good for New Zealand as the world's demand for wood products in a carbon-constrained future would only increase.
Dickie pointed to the firm's latest project, for which a prospectus is being prepared.
"We are going to sell enough carbon to pay for the land and the planting of the trees. That will take us about 10 years. We will only sell a small amount to cover the costs. After that it is a normal forestry investment."

Northampton are refusing to accept they set new standards for cynicism and gamesmanship over the weekend despite establishing a Premiership record for yellow cards and prompting Gloucester's director of rugby Dean Ryan to demand urgent measures to prevent the sport descending into farce.
A total of five sin-binned players, four of them Northampton front-row forwards, give some clue about Saturday's bizarre goings-on but Ryan's ire was chiefly aroused by the curious case of Steve Thompson, the England hooker who thundered around as a flanker to considerable effect but declared himself unfit to resume in his usual position when Saints ran short of front-row replacements, forcing the referee Dave Pearson to order uncontested scrums.
Northampton's version was that Thompson was playing with a sore neck that could not be risked in scrums; the fact the Saints side were down to 13 men and cornered on their own line by a rampant Gloucester pack had nothing to do with it. A grim-faced Ryan, however, was less than convinced, suggesting Saints were among a growing number of clubs seeking to manipulate the laws to their advantage.
"There were three front-row forwards on the field, one of them England's No1 hooker who seemed to be playing with a neck strain, which I'm sure will interest Andy Robinson," said Ryan. "The whole episode needs looking at. If they don't do something, I'm sure it'll happen again. If you go back five years I can't remember an uncontested scrum. Now, suddenly, there are quite a few."
Only last week uncontested scrums raised eyebrows in the game between Worcester and Saracens and the former England scrum-half-turned Sky pundit Dewi Morris wasted no time in denouncing the latest episode as "a farce". Thompson - who insisted he had alerted the referee of his condition - might also have eased a few more suspicious minds had he not walked to the team bus lugging a heavy kit bag on his right shoulder and signing many autographs with his left hand, no mean achievement for a man in a neck brace. For good measure the promising young Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley, sin-binned for punching late in the first-half, also had his arm in a temporary sling, confounding eyewitnesses who swore they saw him limping earlier. Many more episodes like this and and Premier Rugby will have to start investing in lie detectors and installing CCTV cameras in the dressing rooms.
None of Saturday's alleged skulduggery will ever be proved, of course, but it cast a distasteful shadow over a picture-perfect autumn day. Amid all the comings and goings - Tom Smith and Dan Richmond were both binned between the 52nd and 54th minutes for taking out the Gloucester lineout lifter Gary Powell and Thompson went later for killing the ball - it was also easy to overlook that Gloucester are still unbeaten. If they keep doing the basics well they will continue to prosper but here they presented Northampton with two of their three tries and, for all their forward power, were indebted to an alert tap-and-go score from Peter Richards, a close-range try by Jake Boer that stemmed - ironically - from an uncontested scrum and an interception by the returning James Simpson-Daniel.
For Northampton Carlos Spencer's visionary chip that produced an early try for Thompson was almost worth the admission money alone and the Saints are about to beef up their pack with a clutch of fresh imports, not least the uncompromising Kiwi flanker Sam Harding. It will be fascinating to see what shirt number, if any, Thompson wears next weekend.
Gloucester: Thirlby (Goodridge, 75); Simpson-Daniel, Tindall (capt), Paul, Foster; Mercier, Richards (Thomas, 50); Collazo (Sigley, 80), Azam (Davies, 75), Powell, Eustace, Brown, Buxton, Boer (Hazell, 75), Forrester.

Published: 5th Mar 2013
The co-founder of business internet service provider (ISP) Timico is unhappy with poor broadband performance caused by corrosion of BT's copper cabling.
Trefor Davies claims his home broadband service, which usually reaches speeds of around 53 Mbp/s, dropped to just six Mbp/s as a result of damage to BT's cables.
Modern fibre-to-the-cable lines, which are commonly used by many ISPs, rely on fibre optic cables to connect the nearest BT data exchange to a local street-level cabinet.
However, the connection between the cabinet and peoples' homes usually consists of copper cabling, which can be susceptible to interference. This means super-fast connections that are theoretically capable of providing speeds of up to 80 Mbp/s, can see their download speeds drastically reduced.
Speaking on the Timico website, Mr Davies commented: "My home broadband performance had dropped right off from the 53 megs (Mbp/s) down and 11 megs up to at times a pathetic six megs in either direction."
He said the problem was eventually solved by a BT Openreach engineer, who discovered the slow speeds were being caused by corrosion on a strand of copper cabling.
Mr Davies claims the only way to resolve this issue would be the widespread introduction of fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) technology, which takes fibre optic cable all the way to a home, thus limiting the problems caused by copper corrosion.
However, this would be highly expensive to introduce. ISPreview has estimated a potential cost of somewhere between £15 billion and £20 billion and Mr Davies claims it "ain't going to happen any time soon".
BT currently provides a FTTP service, which is mainly targeted at businesses. However, it generally costs somewhere in the region of £1,500 to install, as well as charging a monthly fee.
Such problems can be avoided through the use of satellite broadband. Unlike cable-based services, satellite broadband does not require any infrastructural development, which makes it ideal for rural and remote locations where coverage from major ISPs is limited.

Patricia Leora Carlson
Patricia Leora Carlson
October 1, 1927 January 21, 2013
Patricia Carlson passed from this life in the comfort of her home on January 21, 2013. Pat was born in Los Angeles on October 1, 1927, and attended St. Agnes Elementary and High Schools. During the height of
World War II
, Pat met her future husband, James Carlson, on a blind date, prior to his deployment to the Pacific Theatre. Pat and Jim wed after the War, and similar to many young couples of their day, moved their growing family several times during their first years of marriage, before buying the Long Beach home in which they would reside in for their rest of their lives in 1951.
While raising her three children, Kathy, Barbara, and Joe, Pat also contributed her time and talents to St. Cornelius parish in East Long Beach as a choir member, Confraternity of Christian Doctrine instructor, and clerical assistant. The parish community remained as a center of family life and social interaction for Pat over many decades.
After Pat's children graduated from high school, she enrolled in her first classes at Long Beach City College, beginning a educational journey that would eventually result in earning a master's degree in education and a California teaching credential with a special education designation at California State University Long Beach. Scores of special needs students and their families benefited from the loving touch of Pat's embrace and warmth of her supportive smile during her years as a teacher at Mendenhall School in Garden Grove School District. Pat also served as an officer in Pi Lambda Theta, an educational honor society in which she would remain active until recent months.
Pat and Jim traveled extensively in their retirement, favoring cruises on freight liners over more posh arrangements. They also enjoyed trailer camping with friends in the California wilderness, and hosting occasional lunches and dinners in their home.
After Jim's passing three years ago, Pat continued to spend hours visiting with her many friends. Despite the growing physical limitations over her final months, Pat exuded her joy for life, continuing to provide inspiration to everyone she touched.
Patricia was preceded in death by her daughter Kathleen Moore and husband, James Carlson. She is survived by children, Barbara Lassen and Joe Carlson, son-in-law, James Lassen and daughter-in-law, Debbie Hughes, grandchildren, Patrick Moore, Kenneth Moore, Jenny Paul, Jeff Montooth, and Katie Gutierrez, and great-grandchildren, Benjamin Montooth and Alex Gutierrez.
The family wishes to thank Pat's many friends for their support and care. The family appreciates caregiver Lou Macapiniac and neighbors Nick Altenhofen and Merle Munzon, who have been constant sources of strength and assistance.
Patricia Carlson's funeral service will be held at St. Cornelius Church in Long Beach at 11:15 a.m. on Friday, January 25. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Pat's memory may be made to St. Cornelius Parish School, 3330 Bellflower Boulevard, Long Beach, CA 90808. please sign the guestbook

5 Kyoto Pancake Shops You'll Want to Try Even After a Wait
Writer name : o-dat
When you talk about Kyoto sweets everyone thinks of Japanese traditional sweets, but actually did you know there are many pancake shops there too? Here are some popular shops that you should try even though there's often a line of people waiting.
1. Fukumimi
Fukumimi is a Hawaiian cafe in a 100-year-old machiya (a traditional townhouse) a 5 minute walk away from Karasumaoike Station. While the facade looks like a regular machiya, the interior mixes Japanese and Hawaiian aesthetics to create an interesting atmosphere. The menu changes depending on the season, but there are about 10 types of pancakes, including those using fruits or mascarpone cheese. The slightly sweet, fluffy pancakes will melt in your mouth the moment you take a bite! Their plain butter milk pancakes (regular size 750 JPY) made with their original butter is popular, but if you're torn between what to get, go with the half-and-half so you can enjoy two kinds of pancakes. They have a varied menu outside of pancakes as well, so this is a perfect place to take a little break for a meal.
2. Cafe Rhinebeck
Cafe Rhinebeck is a pancake specialty shop that also has branches in New York. It's similar to Fukumimi in that it's housed in a machiya that's 120 years old and has a calm atmosphere in a modern Japanese aesthetic. They make the pancakes directly to order, so they're considered Kyoto's fluffiest. Their pancakes also have perfect harmony with the sweetness of their special maple syrup. Their toppings are simple, but their offerings like their morning-only plane pancake (680 JPY (incl. tax)) and their ricotta cheese pancake (1,000 JPY (incl. tax)) is made with particular attention to the ingredients so they're delicious enough to drag anyone in. The morning menu is different than the menu for the rest of the day, so check before you go. The morning is also not as crowded as it is later in the day so think about going then!
3. fleur
fleur is a cafe that mainly offers pancakes and has two branches in Kyoto. It's near Kyoto Station, making it very easy to get to, and the wooden facade is very chic. There are terrace seats, and the ceiling is very high so the entire cafe has a very open atmosphere. All of their pancakes are made with a distinct egg flavor and come in a stack of 3 for a satisfying amount. This restaurant's recommendation is the fleur pancake (900 JPY). The simple yet extremely delicious pancake is very popular. Also, they have many seasonal pancakes, so check before you go. They have a lot of set drinks as well, so enjoy your time here having pancakes with a nice drink.
4. Yukinoshita Kyoto Main Branch
Yukinoshita is a restaurant famous for pancakes and kakigoori (shaved ice). Their thick pancakes are made using only the best ingredients to make a high-quality pancake that is crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. They're on the small side, but they're so delicious that they have grabbed the hearts of Japanese pancake fans. They usually have around 10 flavors, including matcha, cream cheese, seasonal fruits, and cocoa, and depending on the order they put fruit or matcha powder in the pancake batter itself. You might have trouble choosing, but the clarified butter with mandarin orange honey pancake (700 JPY (incl. tax)) is a highly recommended. The balance of the taste of the batter and the butter is in great harmony, so it's a pancake that you should try at least once.
BLUE FIR TREE, a cafe bar in Gion, is a restaurant with a calming atmosphere that is a cafe in the day and a bar at night. Their pancakes are thick and buttery like Yukinoshita, and it takes 20 minutes to make. The outside is fragrant and the inside is airy and sponge-like, contributing to their popularity. On their menu they have two items, the Maboroshi no Hotcake (800 JPY with coffee or tea) or the Maboroshi no Hotcake Kongetsu no Topping, in which the toppings change monthly (1,000 JPY with coffee or tea). Since it has drinks included, it's a very reasonable price. They don't serve pancakes when they're functioning as a bar, so if you want to eat them make sure to come at the right time.
Use this article when you're trying to find the perfect place for you! Since these restaurants are often very crowded, make sure you go with time on your hands.

"Yeah." I muttered, trying not to gag, "she was my friend."
"I see." he chuckled. I could feel the rage bubbling up in my esophagus. "Obviously not a very good one. You didn't even know her name."
Fuck you Benjamin. My eyes narrowed in disgust. Taz just couldn't resist, not that I really blamed him. It was rather apparent that I wasn't a very good friend. Maybe if I had been, things would have been different for Michigan. And for him. Even so, the words dug into me like fangs, and I didn't appreciate the accusation.
"I didn't know much about you either." I retaliated. "But it didn't stop me from calling you my friend."
To my surprise, there wasn't a witty retort, or a sarcastic "touché" that came back at me. Instead, Taz responded without words, biting his lip and shaking his head while he gathered the crime scene photos and put them neatly back in the little blue folder. I was glad to finally have them out of my sight, though their images still scarred my mind. Michigan was no more. It was a notion that I still couldn't quite understand, nor had any desire to.
"So how exactly did you know her?"
She used to be my drug dealer.
"I told you, she was my friend." My eyelids had to blink repeatedly in order to keep my brain moving at the same pace as my mouth. I knew he needed more than that, but what exactly was I supposed to say? This was insane. It was all still way too surreal to me. Maybe I was in shock.
He eye-balled me distrustfully. "I suspect there's more to it than that."
Well aren't you clever? Then again, I wasn't exactly flying off the radar. There wasn't much point in lying to him now, I was already in serious trouble, and in all honesty he probably knew exactly who Michigan was to me. Even still, there was a small part of me that enjoyed giving him the run-around, seeing as how he had literally screwed me in just about every possible way.

Recently we have seen a lot of progress with the capabilities of Javascript to leverage the capabilities of HTML to do things that was previously only possible using Flash.
Thanks to for example mootools and jQuery you can now create sites that looks like they are made with Flash with nice tweening animations, and of course AJAX have already for a few years been an option to update the content without reloading the page.
Does this mean that the future of Flash looks bleak?
Somerandomdude seems to think so, and points to some of examples if the impeding demise of Flash. John Resig's Processing.js and experiments with HTML 5's video element.
First of all, does any of these developments offer improvements over what Flash have been capable of for years?
Maybe if a site that is heavy on information but you might want to jazz it up a bit with some nice transitions.
When it comes to presenting text HTML has some advantages, mainly due to the browser integration.
Using the browsers built in search or select and right click to google a phrase for example.
Usually those advantages are greater than the possibility to embed font outlines with Flash.
But most implementations I have seen of for example slideshows and menus does not offer any advantages what I can see. Implementing them in Javascript still performs worse, gives you less possibilities and makes it less accessible.
When it comes to video on the surface I cannot see any reason why a video playback native to the browser would be preferable.
Of course one could argue that since you have a limited choice of compression formats with Flash it would open up to more options there. But to deploy content you will still have to make sure you use a codec that is included with a majority of browsers. It remains to be seen if it will mean much of an improvement in practice, and personally I do think that h264 is quite satisfactory.
All the above is true for the HTML5 audio element as well.
Of course the technical merits is only a part of the parameters that decide the acceptance of a technology. There are a lot of developers that really dislike Flash for various reasons and they are just really happy that they now can do the same things as has been possible for a long time with Flash.
The fact that it can be more tedious to implement and performs worse is not as important as various factors like avoiding proprietary formats or using a environment they are already accustomed to.
But even if Flash is not necessary to do a lot of things that previously was it's exclusive domain to me it seems like it's constantly gaining acceptance with developers.
Flash is still quite far ahead of the capabilities of DHTML/AJAX and how long will it take before HTML5 is widespread enough to make it a viable option?
Flash is still developing rapidly and the new versions of the plug-in is spreading extremely fast, so by the time HTML5 capable browsers is widespread enough probably 95% will have the Flash 15 plug-in installed.
I think the main issue here is the different ways in which Flash and HTML is being developed.
A lot of the hate against Flash is based on the fact that swf is a proprietary format, and even if that is not entirely true any more it's certainly not based on an open standard.
And that what makes it possible for it to stay on the cutting edge, and that's why the capabilities of DHTML, XHTML, Javascript, SVG etc. always is one step behind.
Even if I prefer open standards in theory it just doesn't seem to work as well in practice.
Rather than being impressed how HTML and Javascript is catching up with the capabilities of Flash I'm continuously surprised at how slowly it's happening.
I have been fanatic about Flash since I first discovered it in 1999, and I really have trouble being completely neutral even I try. But IMO Flash is not going anywhere. With AS3, AVM2 and FLEX a lot of new possibilities has opened up that DHTML will not be capable of any time soon, like for example decent 3d engines, socket connections and sound synthesis.
Overall I do see a trend though that the web is getting less and less fixated with certain technologies.
On the server side we have seen Python and Ruby gaining acceptance. MS will be trying with Silverlight to present an alternative to Flash and HTML will be able to compete as well.
But it's not a war where anyone has to die…there is certainly room for more than either ASP, perl or PHP on the server and HTML, Shockwave or Flash on the client, which pretty much used to be the case.

Aiken Standard (Newspaper) - July 28, 1989, Aiken, South Carolina Sports Martin Sits I On The Pole Page 8A I A Quick Read | Another DC-IO Makes | Emergency Landing TORONTO (AP) — A Canadian Airlines DC-10 was forced to land at Pearson International Airport in Toronto today minus its nose wheel. An airport spokesman said the plane lost its wheel on takeoff from Rio de Janeiro. The spokesman said the flight crew was aware of the problem and the aircraft landed without incident or injury. It was not known how many people were on the jet. In the past nine days, two DC-lOs have crashed, one in Sioux City, Iowa, on July 19 and the other Thursday in Tripoli, Libya. The crashes have killed 200 people. The Sioux City crash occurred when a tail engine blew apart and cut off the flow of hydraulic fluid needed to control the jet, AIDS Drug Tests Prove Promising WASHINGTON (AP) - Early tests of a new AIDS drug are so promising that federal scientists are expressing hope it may become a powerful new weapon against the epidemic that now numbers 100,000 cases. Scientists say they hope to start an expanded second phase of tests this ^ fall and perhaps have the drug avail- * able for wide use next year. Phase I trials, described in a report published today in the journal Science, showed that the drug, called DDI, controlled the growth of the AIDS virus and enabled patients to gain weight, feel better and develop some resistance to infection. "This is not a cure for AIDS," said Dr. Robert Yarchoan, a National Cancer Institute researcher who helped direct the Phase I trials. "But it appears to control the disease." The number of AIDS cases reached the 100,000 mark in recent weeks, the Centers for Disease Control said, and 58,014 AIDS patients had died as of June 30. No one is known to have recovered from the disease.Weather Chance Of Rain Fair skies are forecast tonight with a 20 percent chance of evening thunderstorms. The low will be in the low 70s.

Page 2A Russian Strikers Return To Work Friday, July 28, 1989 Aiken, South Carolina Vol. 122 No. 180 Producer Says Film Is Debate Forum By CARL LANGLEY Staff Writer An independent film producer denied Thursday night that the making of a 54-minute documentary about the Savannah River Site was part of an effort to shut down nuclear facilities and disarm America. Susan Robinson, an economics major from the University of North Carolina, said she joined the production effort because "we need to have reasonable debate about nuclear materials." Ms. Robinson said she didn't consider the film Building Bombs blatantly anti-nuclear, but only an expression aimed at helping people on both sides of the issue find common ground to discuss the future of nuclear weapons. "What we need to find out is how many nuclear weapons are enough, and if there is a different way to live in this world," she remarked. Ms. Robinson bemoaned the fact that nuclear discussion generally is confined to those who are adamantly opposed and those who are defenders of the process. She said she would like to see everyone get involved in the debate. Ms. Robinson and Mark Mori, a political activist and former union organizer, spent five years making the film and are traveling the country showing it to small groups. Thursday night, the film was shown twice to accommodate audiences in a small viewing auditorium at USC Aiken. Between 200 and 250 people attended the showings. It was seen as a weak effort by several of those interviewed afterward, but most were impressed by the fact that it steered away from radical positions. "I just came because I wanted to see what it was all about," said Carlos L. (Skip) Townsend Jr. "It didn't change my opinion one bit. But it wasn't as negative as I thought it would be." Townsend, the husband of Aiken County Coroner Sue Townsend, pointed out their property is only a short distance from the nuclear reservation and they haven't been concerned about safety. Besides Townsend, Harold (Bud) Raymond, Al Symonds Jr. and Gene Bagwell said they weren't overly impressed with the production since about everything covered has been in the public domain for years. Dr. I. Lehr Brisbin, a University of Georgia ecologist who does environmental studies at the reservation, said it was a bit odd that the filmmakers failed to interview those most closely associated (Please See PRODUCER, Page 3A) Staff Photo By Scott Webster READYING THE PROJECTOR: Producers Susan Robinson and Mark Mori prepare to show their film on the Savannah River Site to an audience at USC Aiken last night A New Look Israeli Commandos Kidnap Iran Ally Staff Photo By Scott Webster CHANGES: Changes are taking place at 905 Hayne Avenue.

By The Associated Press BEIRUT, Lebanon — Israeli commandos today kidnapped a S'hide Moslem leader who is con-s. Jered Iran's closest ally and who sources say was linked to the abduction of U.S. Lt. Col. William R. Higgins. Police said Sheik Abdul Karim Obeid, 33, was kidnapped from his second-floor apartment in the village of Jibchit, 21 miles north of the border with Israel. A curious neighbor was killed by the commandos, police said. Obeid is reputed to be the spiritual guide of Hezbollah, or Party of God, in south lebanon. However, he has repeatedly denied links with the pro-Iranian group, which is affiliated with factions holding most of the 17 foreign hostages in Lebanon. Nine Americans are among the hostages. Security sources in south Lebanon, speaking on condition of ano nymity, said Higgins was briefly held at Obeid's apartment after his abduction in south Lebanon on Feb. 17, 1988. One source said the late leader of the mainstream Shiite Moslem Amal militia in south lebanon, Daoud Daoud, sent "a group of his followers to obtain Higgins' release from Obeid's apartment, but the force was encircled by Hezbollah gunmen, stripped of its weapons and sent back." The source said Higgins' kidnappers, the Organization of the Oppressed on Earth, later took the American marine out of Jibchit to another village in south Lebanon and then to the slums of south Beirut. Daoud and Mahmoud Faqih, another Amal leader, were assassinated by unknown gunmen in south Beirut's seaside suburb of Ouzai on Sept. 22, 1988. Amal blamed the (Please See ISRAELI, Page 3A) Thermal Discharge Denied For K-Reactor By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Environmentalists have won a battle in the war to make the Savannah River Site less damaging to surrounding wildlife in defeating an attempt to exempt thermal discharges from the nuclear weapons plant's K-reac-tor from the Gean Water Act. The amendment, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Butler C. Derrick, D-S.C., was rejected Thursday 348-70, according to today's editions of The State newspaper. The measure would have cut funds for a cooling tower for the reactor and instead would have authorized $102 million over two years for other environmental projects at the sprawling facility near Ai- WASHINGTON - The White House is counting on the Senate to rescue President Bush's defense priorities torn asunder in House votes gutting or cutting back virtually every major strategic weapons program. In two days of votes on a $295 billion defense authorization bill, the House ignored White House and Pentagon lobbying and turned Bush's defense priorities on their head. It restored funds for conventional aircraft discarded by the Pentagon while suspending most production of the radar-evading stealth bomber. It cut money for the Star Wars missile defense system, stripped funds intended to make the MX ken, the newspaper reported from its Washington bureau. "I hated to lose it because I think the money for the tower is a waste. But the environmentalists made this the litmus test, and that's hard to fight," Derrick said. Derrick and others acknowledged that the reactor's discharge into streams would cause some thermal pollution and damage 200 acres of wetlands on site. But the damage would reverse itself over time by natural regrowth, they said. The K-reactor is one of three tritium-producing reactors at Savannah River that have been shut down for more than a year because of safety and maintenance reasons. The facility is the nation's sole missile a mobile weapon and eliminated all of the $100 million provided for the Midgetman missile. Rep. Les Aspin, D-Wis., said the House had "shredded" Bush's defense priorities to produce "a Michael Dukakis defense bill." The Senate, meanwhile, only narrowly turned aside a strong bid to freeze research and development of the Star Wars strategic defense initiative. It tabled the amendment offered by Sen. Bennett Johnston, D-La., 50-47. But that action may result in the chamber retaining needed leverage to resist House cuts on that and other weapons systems. The Senate will need all the leverage it can muster when representatives of the source of tritium, the radioactive gas needed to make nuclear weapons. Water to cool the K-reactor is pumped from the Savannah River and discharged into a stream on site at 170 degrees. In 1984, the Department of Energy agreed to build a cooling tower by 1992 at a cost of $127 million. Derrick, after consulting with DOE, decided the tower was not a good idea, given the K-reactor's age and doubts about length of service once it was restarted. The congressman proposed spending the money on groundwater cleanup, removal of about 34 million gallons of high-level radioactive waste from tanks at the two bodies meet in conference to resolve the many differences between the two bills. Senators are to continue their consideration of the measure next week. "We are watching the strategic position of the administration unwind step by step on the floor of the House," said Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "It is important that we not emasculate this program," Nunn said as the vote neared on an amendment to cut Star Wars by $558 million in addition to the $400 million trimmed earlier by the Senate panel.

| Yoshichao chapter 1 . 2/21/2011
Geez, you could've asked me to edit it if you were too chicken. : I've read Scott's work, it's a lot worse than this (even if it's yaoi).
Anyways, I think I already gave you my opinion back when you first sent this to me but I'll elaborate more and crap or whatever.
Firstly, it might just be OCD on my part but the abundance of single-lines for a paragraph-thing irks me. Some things could be mushed into one paragraph and more detail could be added (I know you're a pansy when it comes to yuri but you gotta suck it up).
Secondly, there's a lack of punctuation in a few places (my comma senses are tingling . . .). Also, the wrong punctuation in some other places.
Thirdly, I believe the title would be "Tired of Waiting". It could work with "from" if "waiting" was a noun so unless you make the title some funky double-meaning, you might want to change that.
Lastly, on a less serious note (I don't know how I missed this before XD); who the hell says "yawn~" when they yawn? XD
Anyways, good job, good luck, and continue. If you keep writing stuff, I might get some motivation to write crap. :D Hooray!

WOW, the first time when Kazuha made her first appearece in the manga and anime she got mad and jealous of Ran for being with Heiji, but later became best friends later and now Kazuha wants to take her friendship into a WHOLE new level and leave Shinichi... I don't like yoai, but I am a minor yuri fan(but I'm not lesbian) and I don't mind it all. I like the really good yuri like Kannazuki no Miko. I do like one DC yuri pairing and that's AiAyu(AiXAyumi) they do look like a cute little yuri pairing. And I did heard of some KazuRan fanfics and doujinshi as well. The only yuri I don't like is the one that has lemon or lime in them.
Interesting fanfic you got there anyway please do continue.

And wouldn't you know, it was. Chris Palmer of ESPN the magazine had a long interview with Kobe (link) on ESPN.com's 'Fandom' section of the website, and there was a ton of interesting stuff. Just a few that caught my eye: Kobe gets sick of the MJ comparison's, KG helped Kobe make the decision to jump straight from high school to the pro's, and that Kobe has 'never lost a game of 1 on 1'. All of these thing's are well and good, but the best part of the exchange was Palmer asking Bryant what his pet peeve is. His answer - dog poop of course. I hate dog s---. I won't go near it. So pissed when I step in it. I've got four dogs and I just don't do dog doo. I'm a diva when it comes to that. Back in the day when I was in ...

Energy Usage Evaluation and Condition Monitoring for Electric Machines using Wireless Sensor Networks
Lu, Bin
MetadataShow full item record
Energy usage evaluation and condition monitoring for electric machines are important in industry for overall energy savings. Traditionally these functions are realized only for large motors in wired systems formed by communication cables and various types of sensors. The unique characteristics of the wireless sensor networks (WSN) make them the ideal wireless structure for low-cost energy management in industrial plants. This work focuses on developing nonintrusive motor-efficiency-estimation methods, which are essential in the wireless motor-energy-management systems in a WSN architecture that is capable of improving overall energy savings in U.S. industry. This work starts with an investigation of existing motor-efficiency-evaluation methods. Based on the findings, a general approach of developing nonintrusive efficiency-estimation methods is proposed, incorporating sensorless rotor-speed detection, stator-resistance estimation, and loss estimation techniques. Following this approach, two new methods are proposed for estimating the efficiencies of in-service induction motors, using air-gap torque estimation and a modified induction motor equivalent circuit, respectively. The experimental results show that both methods achieve accurate efficiency estimates within ¡À2-3% errors under normal load conditions, using only a few cycles of input voltages and currents. The analytical results obtained from error analysis agree well with the experimental results. Using the proposed efficiency-estimation methods, a closed-loop motor-energy-management scheme for industrial plants with a WSN architecture is proposed. Besides the energy-usage-evaluation algorithms, this scheme also incorporates various sensorless current-based motor-condition-monitoring algorithms. A uniform data interface is defined to seamlessly integrate these energy-evaluation and condition-monitoring algorithms. Prototype wireless sensor devices are designed and implemented to satisfy the specific needs of motor energy management. A WSN test bed is implemented. The applicability of the proposed scheme is validated from the experimental results using multiple motors with different physical configurations under various load conditions. To demonstrate the validity of the measured and estimated motor efficiencies in the experiments presented in this work, an in-depth error analysis on motor efficiency measurement and estimation is conducted, using maximum error estimation, worst-case error estimation, and realistic error estimation techniques. The conclusions, contributions, and recommendations are summarized at the end.

Solar Panels, also known as PV Panels, work by converting the Sun's energy into electricity. The amount of energy produced is determined by the size and efficiency of the panel.
This means that selecting the right panel for your needs is a crucial first step in adding solar energy to your home. In order to find out how much solar energy you need follow the steps below:
In order to fully take advantage of a Solar Panel you will need an electronic device called a Power Inverter or Sine Inverter (Inverter for short).
The inverter performs a crucial function within any solar power system as it converts the DC current generated by the solar panel and/or battery to AC current that your appliances run on. Without an inverter things like your television or decoder would not be able to run on solar power.
The capabilities of an inverter are measured by the number of Watts it is capable of producing consistently to power appliances. For example, a 32" LED Television needs a very low 50 Watts, whereas a power-hungry Plasma Television of the same size needs 240 Watts to operate.
This means that the right combination of Solar Panels & Inverter needs to be selected for your specific needs - so that you are able to power everything that you need to.
One of the main challenges with solar energy is keeping the lights on when the Sun goes down.
The way to do this is to use your Solar Panel to charge a battery bank which in turn connects to the inverter to power your appliances
Deep-Cycle batteries with a low discharge rate are preferred as they hold charge for longer than normal batteries.
12V Car or Truck Batteries can be used to power small appliances - such as a router, laptop, cell phone charger and a few LED lights. Importantly, if you intend on using more than 1 battery they must be connected in parallel to one another, not in series.
Using more than 1 battery doubles your possible usage. This means that most users install a bank of batteries, all connected together to power their devices for extended periods
