Author information
Norman Maclean (1902-1990), woodsman, scholar, teacher, and storyteller, grew up in the Western Rocky Mountains of Montana and worked for many years in logging camps and for the United States Forestry Service before beginning his academic career. He was the William Rainey Harper Professor of English at the University of Chicago until 1973.
Review quote
"Ostensibly a 'fishing story, ' 'A River Runs through It' is really an autobiographical elegy that captivates readers who have never held a fly rod in their hand. In it the art of casting a fly becomes a ritual of grace, a metaphor for man's attempt to move into nature."--Andrew Rosenheim "The Independent "
Flap copy
Just as Norman Maclean writes at the end of "A River Runs through It" that he is "haunted by waters," so have readers been haunted by his novella. A retired English professor who began writing fiction at the age of 70, Maclean produced what is now recognized as one of the classic American stories of the twentieth century. Originally published in 1976, "A River Runs through It and Other Stories" now celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary, marked by this new edition that includes a foreword by Annie Proulx. By turns raunchy, poignant, caustic, and elegiac, these are superb tales which express, in Maclean's own words, "a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by," a love shared by millions of readers. As Proulx writes in her foreword to this new edition, "In 1990 Norman Maclean died in body, but for hundreds of thousands of readers he will live as long as fish swim and books are made."

On October 7th I woke up really early even though I had only 2-4 hours of sleep I made sure to wake up to pre-order my iPhone 4S and make sure I was one of the first few to get it on launch day! Unfortunately the US Apple Store did not have the unlocked version available for sale until November so I headed over to the UK Apple Store and was able to place an order at around 10AM it was crazy didn't get my confirmation letter until late that evening but well worth the wait.
Last Friday October 14th it was delivered to my Aramex UK mailbox and I anxiously waited for it to arrive to Kuwait, but unfortunately due to some trouble with people who didn't log in the shipment my baby was not shipped until Monday (thanks to the Shop and Ship team on twitter @Shopandship) it was rushed over here and I got it today! WEDNESDAY that was the fastest shipment ever!
I am so happy and enjoying the unboxing experience as well as Siri, will review it shortly just thought I would make you all iJealous as I was these past few days.
I got the 64GB White model whereas father ordered the 32GB White model as well. Oh yeah and Thanks Daddy! This was my early birthday gift! [He's still going to the US on my birthday will have him bring me something else from there, after all I am daddy's little girl :P]
So yeah there you have it! I got it for 305KD from the UK Apple Store + 7.800KD Shipping for both iPhones which still makes it cheaper than those thieves at XCite Electronics!
P.S. I am still getting the iPhone 5 next year or probably it will be called iPhone 6 because it is the 6th generation! It was the last project Papa Steve Jobs was working on closely before he passed away :(
The main focus of the event was the iPhone, judging by the name of it "Let's talk iPhone" however most of you out there will feel that this update lacked the hype that we were seeing the past few weeks in which everyone expected it to be the launch of the "iPhone 5" a redesigned iPhone. Let's face it I thought the same as well but judging by the updates we've seen today it is still something good and not to be shunned away. I personally will be purchasing a brand new iPhone since I've been wanting a White one and the selling feature for me was the increased capacity (yes I eat capacity from my iPhone!)
Judging by the looks of it, the iPhone 4S has the same outside design as the current iPhone 4 but it's the inside that has change, after all beauty is within a person (or in this case device). It has the same retina display available in today's device and the same glass on the back but let's try to see what's new.
So what's new with the iPhone 4S?
- It has an A5 Chip which is up to 2 times faster than before, with dual-core graphics which are said to be 7 times faster than previous iPhone (Yay SPEED!)
- Battery life has improved to 8 hrs for 3G Talk time, 14 hrs for 2G Talk time, 6 hrs for 3G browsing, 9 hrs for Wi-Fi browsing, 10 hrs for Video, and 40 hrs for music. "Fantastic battery life." (Let's hope it actually performs that way!)
- It has a completely redesigned antenna system for the iPhone 4S making the device the first phone to intelligently switch between antennas for sending and receiving. It also supports both GSM & CDMA technology, and supports HSDPA download speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps, twice that of the iPhone 4. (Wooohooo Faster downloads!)
- It includes an all new camera with the most advanced optics of any phone. The 8 megapixel sensor has 60% more pixels so you can take amazing high quality photos with more detail than ever. It includes a new custom lens, a larger f/2.4 aperture and an advanced hybrid IR filter that produces sharper, brighter and more accurate images. It has backside illumination that gives you 73% more light. It's faster too – one third quicker! There is a new image signal processor that Apple designed, enabling face detection and 26 % better balance.
- The camera is now fully capable of recording 1080p HD resolution videos with video image stabilization and temporal noise reduction.
- Airplay Mirroring is now available on the iPhone 4S and so amazing to watch yourself playing the game on a big screen TV wirelessly!
- Comes with iOS5 built-in.
- It comes with Siri, an intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by asking it nicely. It is launching as a beta with support for English, French, and German, additional languages will be added later. Siri basically lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back. Siri is so easy to use and does so much, you'll keep finding more and more ways to use it.
And that is basically most of the new features of the brand new iPhone 4S. You want to know how much it costs? Well the 16GB model is selling for $199, 32GB model is selling for $299, and the brand new [yes you heard it right] 64GB model is selilng for $399 (with a 2 year contract). The unlocked version prices should be available soon. It will be available for pre-order on October 7th with availability in retail stores and shipping date of October 14th in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom.
The iPhone 4S will debut in an additional 22 countries by the end of October (October 28th). Those countries include: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

And with that my friends I give you the "most amazing iPhone ever," as stated by our new dear friend Tim Cook.
I was somewhat disappointed with the event with the lack of an updated redesigned iPhone 5 but at the same time I expected the iPhone 4S since Apple recently redesigned it so it was just too soon. So I will be getting a brand new one, a white 64GB model to add to my collection courtesy of an early birthday present from father dearest!
P.S. The iPhone 4 is now available in 8GB model for 99$ and the iPhone 3GS 8GB model for Free.
At the event we were introduced to the brand new iPod nano which does not feature an updated form factor but instead it has interface changes to imrpove the navigation and they gave us 16 new clock faces to facilitate its use as a watch. Its fitness features have also improved with Nike+ compatibility out of the box with no requirement for additional accessories to track walks and runs. Let's give it to you in bullet points shall we?
What's new with the iPod nano?
- Larger icons for easier navigation
- 16 new clock faces including a range of designs from a Mickey Mouse watch to a classic digital and Roman numeral design
- Nike+ compatibility out of the box (no need for extra setup), capable of tracking distance traveled, pace, time and more out of the box
- Instead of a grid menu it is now a horizontal and you can swip to get through them.
The best thing about the iPod nano? It's price is now reduced! The 8GB is available for $129 and the 16GB is available for $149. They are available from today in 7 colors for both capacities: silver, graphite, blue, green, orange, pink, and red. [Order now]
The next introduction was for the iPod touch one of the major updates was with the price reduction as well as the availability of the white model.
What's new with the iPod touch?
- Ultra thin design
- Retina display
- FaceTime
- HD video recording
- Gyro
- iOS 5 and iCloud
Similar to the iPod nano, the price reduction makes this an awesome deal with the prices of $199 for 8GB model, $299 for 32GB model, and $399 for 64GB model. All sizes come in both black & white and they will be available for order on October 12th same date as the release of the iOS5. [Order Later]
On this day we witnessed the updates that Apple has deigned to grace us with. The event marked the first event in which Tim Cook introduces new products and is the first event in which we did not see our beloved Steve Jobs. For this event I will be posting each update separately in different posts so as to not over crowd your eyes with talk here and there. So let's give you a summary:
- Tim Cook took the stage and gave us the updates in regards to the retail store launch, there are now 357 total stores in 11 countries. He gave a walk through each of Apple's four product areas: The Mac and Lion: 6 million copies of Lion sold so far up 80% of Snow Leopard and 23% year-over-year growth for Mac, 58 million users; Music: market share has been above 70% for a very long time and the iPod has 78% share right now with over 300 million iPods sold, and the iTunes Store has 20 million tracks with over 16 billion downloads; iPhone: 125% year-over-year growth, the iPhone 4 is responsible for over half of their total iPhone Sales ever #1 smartphone in the world; and finally iPad: has 75% market share in the US with high customer satisfaction rating and iPads showing up everywhere it is the #1 tablet in the world.
- Scott Forstall came on stage to talk about iOS5 highlighting the top ten features which were mentioned earlier this year. Before that we were given an overview of iOS being the #1 mobile operating system with 43% market share, Apple has paid out $3 billion to developers and sold 18 billion App Store downloads. Top ten features: Notification Center, iMessage, Reminders app, Twitter Integration, Newstand, Camera app, Game Center, Safari, Mail, PC-Free Setup. iOS5 will be available as a free download on October 12th.
- Cards, a new app released by apple that allows you to create your own greeting card on your phone and Apple will print your photo/design and mail it to them for 2.99$ mailed within the US and 4.99$ worldwide. The app is a free download available on October 12th.
- Eddy Cue came on stage to discuss iCloud highlighting its features: it is integrated right into apps, everything happens automatically, photo stream documents in the cloud, and the coolest thing is that daily backups of contacts and calendars across your devices are up in the cloud. Find my Friends is a new app in which you can share your location with a bunch of friends and stalk them. iTunes Match is the ability to scan and match your entire library to the iTunes Catalog, create and edit playlists, updated across devices for only 24.99$ per year. iCloud launches October 12th, iTunes Match at end of October in the US.
- Phil Schiller came on stage to talk about the iPods and introduces the new iPod Nano and iPod Touch. (Goodbye iPod Classic, you are as good as dead) [Link]
- iPhone 4S is introduced [Link]
- Scott Forstall on stage for a Siri demo.
- Phil Schiller back on stage to continue with the Siri demo.
- Tim Cook back on stage to wrap up.
And with that marks the end of the event.
We are almost 2 hours away from the Apple "Let's talk iPhone" event and I am getting excited hell I am sitting here anticipating a brand new baby to come out! My new child! Yaay! A new addition to my family it's been a while since I last purchased an Apple product, last time was hmmm I believe April with my MacBook Pro!
Can't wait! I'm counting the minutes! Be sure to come back later to see the post summarizing the event!
P.S. I am actually moments away from copying his pose!
One of the main reasons I have started to blog more is the fact that I downloaded an application from the Mac App Store called "MarsEdit" it is a desktop blog editting tool for Mac and based on the website and my opinion:
The best way to write, preview, and publish your blog.
For the price of 39.95$ (which is not so cheap) you get an awesome blogging tool that makes you ditch the web-based WordPress Dashboard which at times becomes so slow due to the Web Browser you view it in. Sometimes you don't want to be online in order to write your posts but you have to get online to actually access the back-end of your site to write them with this app, in other words you would be able to "think outside the browser."
Personal Opinion: I've been using it for the past week or so and I absolutely love it. My main love about this application is the way you upload the photo into the post instead of waiting for it to upload via the web it just gets in there and all you need to do is publish it and then it gets uploaded along with the post. Now when blogging it is easier and faster and I get to not want to kill myself waiting for an image to upload and insert. If you are a Mac user then I highly recommend this app. True it's a bit expensive but it sure is worth it. If you ever lost a post due to your browser freezing, or site going down now it's so much easier to access it all with this offline application.
Feature Overview:
- Rich and HTML Text Editing: Whether you love HTML or can't bear the sight of it, MarsEdit's editor will thrill you. If you prefer the best of both worlds, you can switch easily between the two.
- Wildly Compatible: works well with WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr, Squarespace, TypePad, Movable Type and dozens more through standard MetaWeblog and AtomPub interfaces.
- Perfect Previews: Build a template to match your blog, then let MarsEdit's live preview show you how your posts will look before you publish them. Use Markdown? MarsEdit will preview that, too.
- Your Editor or Ours: Combine the power of MarsEdit with your favorite editor. Integrates cleanly with BBEdit, SubEthaEdit, TextMate, TextWrangler, and any editor that supports that ODBEditor suite.
- Media at your Fingertips: Quickly scan your iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, or Flickr libraries, and insert images into your blog post with the click of a button.
- Easy File Uploads: Upload images and files directly to your blog, or attach them to a post for automatic upload-on-publish. MarsEdit will even resize them to suit your needs.
- Re-Blog It!: Add our "Blog This" bookmarklet to your browser's button bar. Now when you discover something cool, you can start a new MarsEdit post with the click of a button.
- Offline Freedom: Write when you want to, without an internet connection. Fine-tune your masterpiece on the boat, plane, or train, and publish when you get back online.

There is not one person out there who doesn't love a crazy insane deal, and for the gadget freaks out there the ultimate deal is one that's electronic-y! Blink.com.kw is starting a new thing this week, it's their "Crazy Deal of the Week."
How does the "Crazy Deal of the Week" work?
Every week the Blink Sales Team selects a fast selling product and sells it at a significantly reduced price, so reduced that it's always lower than its cost price.
Want an example of a "Crazy Deal?"
- Apple iPad 2 16GB regularly sells for 144 KWD. Crazy Deal of Week will be 99 KWD.
- Blackberry Bold 9900 regularly sells for 219 KWD. Crazy Deal of Week will be 159 KWD.
- Samsung 640GB USB External HDD regularly sells for 17 KWD. Crazy Deal of Week will be 9 KWD.
And there would be more craziness out there…
Are the quantities limited for every deal?
Of course they are or else we would they would be out of business very soon. It's only quantity of 5 items per crazy deal that would be available.
Which day of the week will this deal be uploaded on and at what time?
It would be unfair to state a day or time for the deal to be uploaded so to make it fair for everyone to get a chance in getting a hold of a deal before its sold out, all that they can say is that it will be a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. As for the timing it will be launched on different timings each week. Either at 10AM, 6PM, or 10PM.
What is the maximum quantity that can be bought per customer?
One item per customer.
Note: Blink staff, shops, resellers will not be eligible to buy items displayed in the "Crazy Deal of the Week". Blink has the right to deny the delivery of any order that is found to be a reseller or shop. The reason we're doing this is because the quantity is very limited and the whole idea of the "Crazy Deal of the Week" is for their customers to enjoy the benefit of those deals.

Parkinsonism in patients taking neuroleptic medications might be induced by dopamine receptor blockade alone or by dopamine blockade with nigrostriatal dysfunction. The differentiation between Parkinson's disease (PD) and drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is difficult to assess on clinical grounds alone. In this study, we have evaluated the clinical characteristics and striatal binding of 123I-FP-CIT (N-ω-fluoropropyl-2β-carboxymethoxy-3β-{4-iodophenyl}tropane) in patients who developed DIP. A total of 20 patients (mean age, 62 ± 13 years) who developed parkinsonism while on neuroleptic agents and 10 age-matched controls were enrolled. [123]-FP-CIT single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was performed in all subjects. Neurological assessment was performed with the Motor part of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. [123]-FP-CIT binding of the entire striatum, caudate, and putamen was calculated. Patients were divided into two subgroups according to SPECT results for comparison of clinical characteristics. There were 9 patients who had normal scans and 11 who showed significantly diminished striatal binding, suggesting degeneration of the nigrostriatal system. Subanalyses of abnormal scans revealed significantly diminished binding in the caudate (P < 0.001 for right and left caudate) and putamen (P = 0.002 and P < 0.05 for right and left putamen, respectively). There were no differences in clinical features between patients with normal and abnormal scans. Symptoms included asymmetric tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity in both groups. Freezing gait was present in two patients with normal scans. These results indicate that DIP is clinically indistinguishable from PD. Brain imaging with FP-CIT helps to determine whether DIP is entirely drug-induced or an exacerbation of subclinical PD. © 2005 Movement Disorder Society

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Caryk named WWHSHL's Athlete of the Week
Steph Caryk, 17, of Glenlawn Collegiate is Winnipeg Women's High School Hockey League Athlete of the Week ending in Jan. 31 for playing goalie for the St. John's-Ravenscourt Eagles in the CTV Division A.
Caryk was given the honour for stopping 45 shots and making big saves in a 6-5 Eagles victory over the Dakota Lancers.
Caryk said she enjoys playing, and beating, Dakota.
"A lot of the girls on the team, I've played with before," the Grade 12 student said. "So there's always sort of that friendly rivalry, wanting to beat them."
Caryk has been playing goalie since she was 12, though she started playing at age nine. Eagles coach Melissa Comte said they had to hold tryouts for SJR's goalie because they have none attending the school. She chose Caryk because of her high skill level and low number of rebounds.
"She's a hard-working athletes and overall a great hockey player," Comte said. "She's pleasant to have on our hockey team and the girls really appreciate her hard work and dedication towards the team."
Comte said Caryk also has a very positive attitude, something that can be tricky for goalies. Caryk's advice to other goalies is to move on after a play doesn't go their way.
"Being goalie is all in your head, as soon as you think you're not there or not playing well is when you'll let that goal in," Caryk said. "Stop, think and make sure you make the next save instead. Because otherwise you'll just beat yourself up."

Step 1: Find a Great Belayer (Coach)
Given that it was my first time rock climbing, I found myself trying to figure out which out of the 5 belayers would provide me the encouragement I needed to climb up the rocks.
A belayer is the person that keeps the rope locked off in the belay device whenever the climber is not moving. This role is important because he or she would be the one to ensure you don't fall down the rocks and seriously hurt yourself.
The first time I went up was quite scary because the guy who was my belayer was not paying attention to anything I was doing and was more concerned with the ladies around him. It was only until I slipped and started to freefall that he started to focus on helping me.
Let's say I was not impressed with him and decided to go find another belayer that would work better with me. And, I did. Scott was fantastic. He provided the right level of coaching and helped guide me to the right spots so that I could pull myself up the rocks. Similar to the working world, having a great coach to make sure you don't fall but gain confidence in your abilities is important to progress.

HTC Flyer Tablet Price Leaked By Amazon Germany
Lifestyle 25 Views
If Amazon's German site is to be believed, the HTC Flyer tablet, which made its official debut yesterday, will cost $900 US (669 EU). Course that amount includes VAT, something us Americans won't pay, so you can subtract about 20% from that, bringing it to a price just above $700. That number is on par with Motorola's Xoom, but still a fair bit richer than Apple's starter iPad.

Quincy Krosby, chief investment strategist at The Hartford, told CNBC's "Closing Bell" that a Federal Reserve rate hike probably would push the economy into recession. "I think they have moved closer to neutral than a bias to hike," Krosby said. "I don't think they want to hike. If they are forced to, they may. But the repercussions of a hike are going to be, I think, pushing us toward a recession."
Jim Glassman, senior U.S. economist for JP Morgan Chase, told CNBC's "Street Signs" that the Federal Reserve's minutes show concern for growth and inflation."Inflation concerns aren't new," Glassman said Wednesday. "What's new is the recognition that there are some downside risks to growth. I think the minutes show that (the Fed) is a little more cognizant of the two risks and it's not just a debate about how much and when to tighten."
Central banks should only try to minimize unemployment by keeping inflation at bay, Richmond Federal Reserve President Richard Lacker said on Wednesday.
Vinny Catalano, global investment strategist for Blue Marble Research, told CNBC's "Morning Call" that first-quarter earnings will be "all over the map," and this will force investors to become highly selective.
Peter Beutel, president of Cameron Hanover, told CNBC's "Power Lunch" that an agreement to release captured British sailors doesn't yet remove the "Iranian premium" on the price of crude oil. "I'd say that we added about $6 during the run-up," Beutel said Wednesday. "So, (the premium) is not out yet. Even though we've solved this problem, the larger problem remains-- (Iran's) nuclear issue. Iran and the West seem to be on a collision course long-term."
Amanda Kurzendoerfer, commodity analyst at Summit Energy, told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" that the surprisingly large drop in gasoline supplies and low refinery capacity could send prices at the pump over $3 a gallon by mid-July."We could see a three handle," Kurzendoerfer said Wednesday. "I don't think it will last long, but it definitely a possibility."
Thomas Atteberry, analyst and portfolio manager for First Pacific Advisers, told CNBC's "Power Lunch" that investors might consider large-cap, multi-national companies when picking stocks."Try to stay away from the financial sectors of the market because they're very exposed to the consumer," Atteberry said Tuesday.
St. Louis Fed President Poole said he would lean toward a further rate increase should inflation fail to come down and if the economy was only moderately weak.

|Celtics take care of business
|03.26.12 at 10:05 am ET
When analyzing the Celtics' schedule in the lockout-shortened season, their eight-game road trip in the middle of March stood out like like an Avery Bradley 19-point first half. The stretch took on new meaning and appeared even more daunting as it drew nearer. The veteran squad had struggled all season long with a combination of ill-timed injuries, rumors of possible trades and overall inconsistent play.
On paper the end results weren't flawless, or even impressive — the Celtics finished 4-4 — but sans a woeful second half against a bad Kings team, the performances were proof the Celtics could still make noise come playoff time. Doc Rivers wanted his team to maintain the intensity upon returning home Sunday night against an inferior Wizards team.
"We told them we are not at home," Rivers said. "We are on the road still. The road trip ends after the next game is the way we look at it."
Empirical evidence suggests the Celtics could perform up to their potential in a dominating performance, like they did against the Blazers just before the road tip, or drop a game they should win like they did losing both games of a home-and-home series against a lottery-bound Pistons team in February. Fortunately for the C's, the former occurred as they shot 65 percent and built a 19-point lead at halftime they would never surrender.
"This is definitely game we're supposed to win," Paul Pierce said. "The Washington Wizards are in a rebuilding phase, trading away a lot their players. It's just nice to get a win."
Pierce is not being arrogant or presumptuous in his statement; he is being truthful (no pun intended). The Celtics should post victories against teams out of contention like the Wizards. However, even though the road trip is over, in the final 18 games only four are against teams with no playoff aspirations. Additionally, Boston faces the Heat three times, has matchups against the Knicks and Bucks — each of whom are battling the Celtics for the final playoff spots in the Eastern Conference — and has a trip to conference-leading Chicago.
"There are a lot of expectations," Greg Stiemsma said. "We step on the floor and expect to win every night, and we've got big plans the rest of the year."
If any plans are to come to fruition, games like Monday's in Charlotte no longer can be chalked up to an off night due to back-to-back games. Schedule losses don't happen to championship-caliber teams in April while gearing up for the playoffs.
|Randy Wittman aside, Avery Bradley had a pretty awesome game for the Celtics
|03.25.12 at 10:52 pm ET
When your entire team is outscored by a back-up point guard in the first quarter of a regulation NBA game, you'd think you'd be a little more tactful and respectful.
This was the response of Washington coach Randy Wittman when asked about the play of Avery Bradley in Sunday's 88-76 Celtics win over the Wizards.
"I could have scored those lay-ups," Wittman said. "I am being serious. We didn't have anybody guarding him. When I was a player if you gave me four lay-ups o start the game. I'd have a pretty good groove on to make some jump shots. He ought to send us a postcard of thank-yous or something for allowing him to score. I'm sure he thought it was lay-up lines before the game."
But Wittman was more frustrated at his own team's incompetence than he was really cutting on Avery Bradley's 15 first quarter points on Sunday night.
To Wittman's point, Bradley hit an 18-foot jumper and then two layups before a 3-points, another three layups. He started the game 7-for-7 en route to a career-high 23 points.
'My main focus is to play hard on the defensive end," Bradley said. "I was fortunate enough that my teammates could find me in transition.
'I think that it's just a confidence thing. I'm feeling more confident out there. My teammates make me feel more confident, more comfortable, so then I am knocking down more shots.'
Doc Rivers said he was glad Bradley finally proved what he'd been saying all season – that Bradley can shoot.
"Like I said it's all about confidence," Bradley said. "Sometimes I will go into the game being hesitant about shooting. Now if I go into the game if I'm open, I'm open. I've been shooting and I've been making.
'I just have to keep improving. Doc tells me things I need to improve on, not only him but my teammates, and I'm just hoping to learn whatever I need to get better.'
Now, with Ray Allen out again on Monday, he'll be asked to do it again on Monday night in Charlotte. But he'll have to do so nursing the sprained left ankle suffered Friday in Philadelphia.
"It was a little sore, it's sore now, but I'm just going to get treatment,' Bradley said.
As Paul Pierce was holding court after Boston's 88-76 dispatching of the hapless Wizards Sunday night, the San Antonio Spurs were doing the same to Philadelphia in the Lone Star state.
As a result, the Celtics find themselves just a half-game out of first in the Atlantic Division again, with a chance to make further hay when they take on the 7-39 Bobcats Monday night in Charlotte.
If the Celtics can take care of business, they could actually find themselves in the No. 4 seed in the East despite the mounting injuries to Ray Allen (ankle), Mickael Pietrus (concussion), Avery Bradley (ankle) and Greg Steimsma (both feet).
But for one night – against the 11-win Wizards – the Celtics looked re-energized if not refreshed after dropping their contest in Philly on Friday night.
'I was actually kind of tired to start the game," said Paul Pierce, whose 21 points finished just behind Bradley's game-high 23 points. "You know usually that first game is a rough one but you just try to get your body back adjusted to the time zone, to our home court. When you haven't played on this court in two weeks it feels like an away game. But our crowd did a good job of keeping us in it, and we got off to a great start. That was the key, especially coming off such a big trip when you have a lot of let downs and lulls, but we responded well.'
As for Bradley, Pierce was grateful for the pick-me-up in the first half since he had just eight points on 3-of-8 shooting in the first half.
"It was great," Pierce said. "He carried us in the first half. All the great teams and all the champions always have that player who can step up outside the stars and that's what makes the team, even a better team. And each night we got to have guys, and tonight was Avery. And if that's something we can have consistently throughout the rest of the year, no matter who it is we are going to be a tough team to beat come playoff time.'
Pierce wasn't making excuses for beating an 11-win Washington team.
'This is definitely a game we were suppose to win," Pierce said. "The Washington Wizards are in a rebuilding phase, they traded away a lot of their players, but its just nice to get a win, especially coming off a tough loss and losing Mickael Pietrus.'
|Fast Break: Celtics call curtains on Wizards of loss
|at 8:19 pm ET
Who needs Ray Allen when the Celtics have Avery Bradley?
Starting in place of the injured Allen (ankle), Bradley emerged as the unlikely offensive hero in a lopsided 88-76 victory against the lowly Wizards (11-37), tallying a career-high 23 points to help the C's (26-22) climb back to within a game of the 76ers (27-21) for first place in the Atlantic Division (depending on how Philadelphia fared against the Spurs later Sunday night).
Held scoreless for the first quarter, Paul Pierce added 21 points and eight rebounds.
Avery Shuttlesworth: Bradley outscored the Wizards 15-12 all by himself in the first quarter. The same Avery Bradley who had only reached double digits six times all year and entered the game shooting 47 percent from the field. He set a season-high in scoring, and did it by totaling 13 points just 5:15 into the game. By first quarter's end, Bradley had totaled 15 points on perfect 7-for-7 shooting.
Stieming up: Like Bradley, Greg Stiemsma also started perfect from the floor (4-for-4), totaling 10 points and seven boards by halftime — seemingly on his way to his first career double-double (although he recorded neither a point nor a board after the break). Raise your hand if you had Bradley and Stiemsma as the leading scorers for the Celtics at halftime of a game they led 53-34 through the first 24 minutes.
Stoppable: Whether it was good defense or bad offense — or more likely a combination of the two — the Wizards started an atrocious 3-for-25 from the field, as the Celtics built a 33-12 advantage only 3:20 into the second quarter. The team's leading scorer, John Wall, missed his first five shots and didn't score until the final minute of the first half. In fact, Washington didn't match Bradley's 15 first-quarter points for the game's first 16 minutes.
|JaJuan Johnson makes the most of his opportunity
|02.02.12 at 1:33 am ET
After the Celtics' 100-64 thrashing of the Raptors Wednesday night, Mickael Pietrus directed the media to JaJuan Johnson's locker. "He's ready for you guys," Pietrus said. The reticent Johnson nervously laughed.
"This is only one game," said Johnson. "It's definitely good for me personally to have a game like this. I definitely want to be a contributor to this team."
Johnson had been used only sparingly this season, seeing a grand total of 28 minutes going into Wednesday night's game. In those brief stints Johnson has shown flashes of why the Celtics took him in the first round of the draft. However, the most amount of time he had logged in a game was just over 5 1/2 minutes.
"Like I told someone earlier, you just have to see the bigger picture," Johnson said. "I understand my time will come. You have to be ready at all times, and that's what I try to do."
|Getting the point: Avery Bradley and E'Twaun Moore
|02.01.12 at 1:13 am ET
When Rajon Rondo went down with a sprained right wrist late in the third quarter against the Raptors, those that have been predicting the Celtics' imminent demise sensed the end creeping ever closer. How would the Celtics survive without their only true shot-creator and undoubtedly their best player this season?
Amazingly, the Celtics have not only survived, they've prospered, winning five of seven games to reach the .500 mark and rattling off their three most impressive wins of the season: beating the Magic twice and the Pacers on a second night of a back-to-back.
The most obvious reason for their success has been the reinvigorated play of Paul Pierce. After dropping 20 points on the Cavs in a tighter-than-it-needed-to-be-but-still-a-win performance on Thursday, Pierce has scored 155 points in the seven games without Rondo and also has 52 assists. Pierce has taken over the playmaker role and his game returned from the lockout ether at just the right time.
Offensively, the Celtics have been winning games almost in spite of Rondo's replacements at the point: Avery Bradley and E'Twaun Moore. The young guards often bring the ball up the floor and make the first pass, but it's been either Pierce or Kevin Garnett in the high post who then initiate the offensive sets. That formula has worked well enough for the Celtics who have generally played to their offensive efficiency of 98.9 points per 100 possessions.
Bradley and Moore have also had their moments offensively. Over the last four games, Moore has made 11-of-18 shots and gone 5-for-10 from 3-point range. Moore has been steady, if unspectacular, at the point with 10 assists and eight turnovers and has quickly gained the trust of the coaching staff, as well as his teammates.
Like Moore, Bradley has mostly kept his turnovers down. Eleven of his 15 turnovers during this stretch of games came in two contests. Limiting turnovers is no small thing for a team that has struggled mightily throughout the season in that regard.
Bradley has had success scoring at the rim where he's shooting 64 percent. Against the Cavs, Bradley was able to duck in for layups and also had a strong move working across the lane. He has the athleticism to finish inside and is starting to figure out that he can't bull-rush taller defenders. Where Bradley has struggled is with his jump shot. He's made just 10-of-28 shots from 16-23 feet this season and is just 1-for-11 from 3-point range.
|Irish Coffee: It's not the Celtics bench's fault
|01.30.12 at 7:40 pm ET
After the Celtics blew an 11-point lead to the Cavaliers with a little more than five minutes left, Paul Pierce told reporters, "Maybe I should play a little bit more" in the fourth quarter. In so many words, the bench blew the game.
Not so. A lineup of E'Twaun Moore, Mickael Pietrus, Sasha Pavlovic, Brandon Bass and Kevin Garnett entered the final 12 minutes with an eight-point lead, and various combinations of four reserves and one starter played Cleveland even until Pierce re-entered the game with 3:42 remaining and the Celtics holding an 87-79 lead.
In fact, rarely has any of the 10 losses through the first third of the season fallen on the Celtics bench's shoulders. Just the opposite. With Garnett the lone starter to play all 19 games, an argument could rather easily be made that the C's reserves are the main reason the team hasn't started worse than 9-10.
"The first full month has been a tough month for us, but we are a team of workers," KG said last week. "Since I've been here, that's all we've done. We haven't really leaned on a lot of the talent, moreso the hard work."
While Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal have all nursed injuries through the first four weeks of the lockout-shortened season, the hodgepodge that includes a second-year guard, a pair of trade acquisitions, two free agent signings and three rookies has formed some semblance of a cohesive group.

Rice cookers... a revelation?
I have been researching getting a stainless ricecooker (to avoid aluminum and non-stick chemicals) and almost bought a Buffalo smart cooker.
Then I went to our Auntie's house for dinner and she made rice in her ancient Tatung indirect (double pan) rice cooker.
Then it hit me, her rice is light and perfectly cooked with no sticky bottom because it's STEAMED!!
Darn, I wish I had realized this difference 30 years ago, upgrading modern ricecooker one after another trying to find the best steamed rice. Modern rice cookers don't steam rice, they boil it until it evaporates, recycling moisture sort of steaming it.
Am I nuts to donate my fancy rice cookers for a simple stainless Tatung?
Sure, it's not a cool looking but the difference in rice texture was a revelation. It will take my chau fun to a new level.
I feel silly for not realizing this before.
Any thoughts?
yours truly, a fun fan,
Wish I could find the website to link you to because this is the best way to cook rice I've tried.
Measure out your dry rice into a bowl that will have enough room for the rice to expand as it absorbs water. This bowl should also fit into a steamer or pasta insert that's in a large, lidded pot.
Wash the rice until the water is clear, drain it and put it in the bowl.
Put water into the large pot with the steamer/pasta insert and bring to a boil. The water should be under the bottom level of the insert.
Now, bring another pot/kettle of water to a boil. Pour the boiling water from the pot/kettle over the rice to the depth of about one knuckle (3/4 inch). There's some leeway here. No need to be exact.
Put the bowl of boiling water covered rice into the steamer/pasta pot and cover with the lid.
Cook with the lid on for about 25 minutes. Remember to keep the water at a simmer under the rice. The nice thing about this method is that after the 35 minutes, you can just keep the water hot and hold the rice for an hour, easily, without burning it.
Remove the bowl of rice when you're ready to serve. Loosen it with a fork and you're done.
<Modern rice cookers don't steam rice, they boil it until it evaporates>
They all boil. The older rice cooker use the "double boiler" design because back then there wasn't a very good way to control the temperature. These old designs use a steady power, not a steady temperature. As such, it was very easy to burn the rice. The double boiler is a simple way to prevent burning the rice. Today rice cookers have much better temperature control and can prevent burning rice without resorting to the double boiler design.
If you are really talking about steaming rice, then it is something else. The old rice cookers cannot do it. You need this:
It is a very good method especially for glutinous rice. I use this to make my lotus leaf chicken warps:
<her rice is light and perfectly cooked>
That is because she perfected the rice-to-water ratio. Every rice cooker is different. The ratio will be slightly different as well. Of course, every rice brand is slight different as well. This is why some people get stuck with one brand of rice with one specific rice cooker.
re: Chemicalkinetics
"The ratio will be slightly different as well. Of course, every rice brand is slight different as well."
I agree. Not to mention, even within the same brand, the age of the rice makes a difference too. I remember every time we opened a new 50 lb bag of rice, we had to re-adjust the water ratio because we were used to the amount needed for the second half of the bag. And not just age after you've brought it home but how long ago it was harvested and how long it sat on the store shelf too. And then there's "new crop" rice which can have a noticeably different behavior. It can take a whole lifetime of experience to make rice consistently.
Steaming rice without special equipment shown here:
She uses a splatter screen and a bowl.
We've only had a Ricer for about six months. It's a very inexpensive Presto cooker. It allows another veg to be steamed (in an upper tray) while the rice is in process.
Both DW & me love this device. Just sayin'.
I am rice obsessed but too busy a home cook for the amazing steamers that sit on top of a pot (to die for in flavour) so I need a rice cooker but truly the indirect contact rice cookers are indeed different.
Normal modern absorption rice cookers all have heat contact with the bottom element. Induction models might differ slightly in that the heat transfer is magnetic and might radiate better if the pot was a very good conductor of energy. ....otherwise mainly at the bottom boiling the rice much hotter in one area causing that rice to overcook. Some folks are cool with rice a bit sticky and that's cool. All the fuzzy logic in the world won't change that amount of direct heat overcooking the bottom grains.
The Tatung (and other original design rice cookers) have a significant amount of fluid poured outside the rice pan to buffer the heat and carry the heat up the sides and over the top.
Yes, part of the cooking is through absorption but a significant amount of cooking is from steaming above and the bain marie style bathing of the sides to even out the heat. This makes for a more even cooking imo.
I would love to hear from Chowhounders with family experiences in cooking rice for a generation or two who have used various rice cooking machines. On the plus sides, they look easier to clean (no valves or gaskets to wash nor replace.
re: Idas
We've been using rice cookers for as long as I can remember. Just the simple one with a heating element at the bottom, a pot where the rice and water goes in, and a cook or warm function. Nothing else. Costs $20 or less, works forever, makes perfect rice as long as you know how much water to add (don't blindly follow the markings on the pot, the machines vary a little).
re: Sirrith
I blindly follow the markings on my machine's pot (Zojirushi NS-ZAC18) and results are quite good every time. The machine has for different modes -- Normal, Softer, Harder, and Quick -- and different rices react better depending on the mode. Once it's dialed in, cooking rice is a no-brainer (well unless you believe the hype that the machine includes some sort of fuzzy logic AI circuit :-))
I finally bought a Tatung old school style rice cooker.
From Newegg.com all stainless steel.
Turns out, in fact the "non-direct heating" is in fact the best way to cook rice.
It has water under the rice pan and inside as well.
It balances the heat so no waste stucky rice on the bottom.
It's a bit noisy but the results are amazing better than any super fancy super tech rice machine..
re: Idas
<It balances the heat so no waste stucky rice on the bottom.>
I am glad that your Tatung rice cooker is working out for you, but do you think a lot of people actually get stucky rice on the bottom of their rice cookers?
I am wondering how many of us here get wasted stucky rice at the bottom of their rice cookers. I don't.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Never have.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Nothing sticky or gummy in our house. We have a 10 cup Zojirushi IH. It also cooks pasta perfectly.
re: Chemicalkinetics
only if I'm lazy and my measurements are off, like too little water. I always add a bit of oil so it turned into pre fried rice. Here's to multitasking!
I cooked mine in a steamer for years before getting a Zojirushi micom rice cooker. Personally I won't be going back to the steamer method. The rice isn't better from the steamer and the rice cooker keeps the rice warm for as long as I want so I never have to worry about timing it with the meal.
re: rasputina
<I never have to worry about timing it with the meal.>
This is the only thing that would ever make me buy a rice cooker. We don't eat rice more than about once a week, maybe twice, so it's not a critical item for us as it is for many others. Also, i don't want to give up any more real estate, and I'd hate to store it in a cupboard. It's like once a week use is too often to store, not often enough to justify the counter space.
But no more timing worries would be nice. How big (space-wise) are the smallest cookers? We only cook about 1-2 cups (finished volume) at a time. Are there any cookers that will work with only ½ cup of uncooked rice?
re: DuffyH
We use ours about once a week and store it in the cupboard. It's not a hassle for us...just pick it up and plug it in. We aren't fans of appliances on the counter. But I completely understand "different strokes..."
Since we rarely cook single serving meals, and nearly always have leftovers, we typically cook a minimum of 2 cups and up to 4 cups of rice. We don't mind reheating rice the next day...and it's nice to have some in the refrigerator in case we want to throw together some fried rice.
re: DuffyH
This one http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-NS-VG...
Works with as little as 1/2 cup of uncooked rice.
It does have a keep warm but not a reheat feature. Mine has reheat also, which works really well. I have a 10 cup of a different model though. I don't think that model I linked has a brown rice mode either, if you need that.
re: rasputina
It looks so adorable.
re: Chemicalkinetics
It DOES look awfully cute. A bit like Marvin the Martian's cousin Zoji.
re: DuffyH
<Marvin the Martian's>
Oh you remember him. :) He was an important icon in our dorm floor.
Anyway, this one will match the Mars better, also from Zojirushi
re: Chemicalkinetics
LOL! That one reminds me of one of the green guys in Toy Story who worshipped The Claw. I love those guys. :)
re: rasputina
Thanks! It looks like it will easily do anything we'd like it to.
What's the deal with the 'pre-rinse' function? In the video, they measure dry rice into the cooker, rinse and then fill to the appropriate line. I don't understand pre-rinse.
re: DuffyH
There is rice sold that is called pre rinsed aka musenmai. It basically has the starchy outer layer removed so it doesn't require rinsing. It uses a different rice cooker cup to measure ( the Zo comes with both cups) and it requires a different proportion of water and has it's own cooking mode in the rice cooker, just like brown rice has it's own.
re: rasputina
I just found this one, too. A lot less $ than the Zoji, and very well reviewed. No keep warm function, but that's not an issue for us. We only need it to stay warm for a few minutes, 10 max. usually. It lacks a mixed/brown rice setting, but reviews indicate it cooks brown rice just fine.
I did note another, cheaper, Panasonic that doesn't really turn itself off when time's up, but has a beeper to remind you to unplug it. I don't think I want to go anywhere near a cooker like that.
Mostly, we need it to not burn, ever, and to cook the rice consistently.
Plus side - it's even smaller than the Zojirushi, but it does lack the cute factor, and some of those great functions on the Zoji.
re: DuffyH
Well no keep warm defeats the whole purpose of
"never having to worry about timing the rice with the meal"
Honestly keep warm is 90% of why I use a rice cooker. I can and have made great rice on the stove. But the rice cooker will keep it warm and ready to eat for 24 hours if I want.
re: rasputina
Keep the rice undisturbed and the lid closed and your rice will keep warm for quite some time.
Rice & potatoes seem to have a decent thermal capacity.
re: rasputina
It isn't a trick.
Our cooker keeps warm as well, but I rarely use that function since it stays hot by itself long enough on most occasions.
Enjoy your rice!
re: rasputina
It looks like a Star Wars character.
re: DuffyH
I've got a 3 cup Zojirushi and regularly cook 1/2 cup of Calrose for breakfast. I'm the only one who eats rice in my house and use it several times a week. Best kitchen investment ever! The "keep warm" function is so convenient. Mine's got a little carry handle and the cord is retractable. It takes up very little room- I keep it on an awkward little bit of counter that's just wider than the cooker. My stand mixer is squirreled away in a closet, on the other hand...
re: Hobbert
So the 1/2 cup is a 1/2 rice cooker cup then I'd guess.
re: rasputina
Yes, although a rice cooker 1/2 cup is just a little less than an actual 1/2 cup (for the OP- I'm sure you already know).
re: Hobbert
Interesting. That is a really small quantity of rice at least for my house.
I have a love hate relationship with the rice cooker cups. When we moved somehow the cups didn't get put inside the rice cooker and it took me a couple weeks to finally find the box they were put in. In the meantime I was forced to measure the rice with a regular measuring cup. Except I don't have a 3/4 cup dry measure so I'm mentally trying to keep track of how many scoops with the 1/4 cup measure to for 3 cups of rice ( or however much I was making that day).
re: Hobbert
My stand mixer doesn't get used very often, mostly for kneading bread, but it's just too darned heavy to haul out when I need it. It would never, ever get used if I had to take it out of a cabinet. Same deal with my 11-cup food processor.
But something like this, OTOH. I'd kind of see it like my small slow cookers or my mini-prep food processor. Just not that big a deal, you know?
re: DuffyH
I hear ya. My rice cooker is so light, I'd have no problem keeping it tucked away. The stand mixer...that thing kills me. So heavy, but I just can't bear to get rid of it for certain tasks.
Hello, Tatung still sells Stainless Steel Indirect Rice Cookers like your Auntie's. Here is the link.
They have released a cute 3-Cup Rice Indirect Rice Cooker that is super cute!!
Try this new Tatung Rice Cooker. It uses the double pan just like your Auntie's.

Wales suffer Charteris blow
ESPN Staff
December 23, 2012
Luke Charteris is set to miss the rest of the season © Getty Images
Wales have suffered a further injury blow ahead of the 2013 Six Nations with the news that lock Luke Charteris will miss their entire tournament with a knee injury.
The 29-year-old, who started Wales' last two internationals against New Zealand and Australia this autumn, ruptured ligaments in his right knee during Perpignan's 30-19 Top 14 win over Montpellier.
Charteris will miss the rest of the season with the injury, all but ruling him out of contention for the British & Irish Lions' tour to Australia next summer.
Wales have already lost Scarlets fly-half Rhys Priestland and Ospreys prop Adrian Jarvis for their Six Nations defence. Priestland suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury in a Heineken Cup game against Exeter earlier this month and he is unlikely to play again this term.
Jarvis, meanwhile, went off with a knee injury during the early minutes of Wales' defeat against world champions New Zealand last month.
Prop Adam Jones and flanker Dan Lydiate were ruled out of the entire autumn series of games against Argentina, Samoa, New Zealand and Australia, although Jones has recently started his comeback with the Ospreys.
Charteris' fellow lock Alun-Wyn Jones is currently sidelined with shoulder trouble, while Ospreys second-row Ian Evans has a knee injury and Cardiff Blues backs Jamie Roberts and Leigh Halfpenny are both also sidelined.
Wales kick off their Six Nations title defence against Ireland in Cardiff on February 2, then face a Paris appointment with France eight days later.
