Diversions of the Groovy Kind has a nice group of splash pages from Keith Giffen's 1977 run as penciler of Marvel's The Defenders. It makes me kinda want to read them, which I think I have somewhere, but what struck me first is not so much what Giffen brings to these pages but what you get from Klaus Janson. Giffen and Janson are credited as the "artists," which can cover a wide range of things, but clearly Janson is not just faithfully putting ink where Giffen's pencils were. Janson has always been an overpowering inker, but he's so good that usual works out fine, just different. Many prefer John Byrne or Frank Miller inking themselves, but Janson's inking over them resulted in some of my favorite comics art.
What you see here is a young Giffen who hadn't quite found his style yet. Not that he's ever settled on one style for very long, but he's not as confident here, judging by the results later when he's inked by Chic Stone. Chic Stone is an inker who will generally diminish the power of one's pencils, and we see an awkward Namor image for the issue where Stone inks Giffen. And earlier, once Janson has left the book, we see that what Giffen is most comfortable doing at this stage in his career is aping Jack Kirby's style. It's right there in the splash to #48 with a Kirbyesque Scorpio, Giffen and Dan Green doing a credible imitation of Kirby's distinctively jagged contour lines, while in the next issue we get an excellent, Kirbyesque Moon Knight. No surprise, as frequent Kirby inker Mike Royer inked this issue. Still, I much prefer a Janson job than another Kirby knockoff.

Firstly Happy New Year to you all. This first entry is probably the worst kept secret since the discovery of oil in the Falklands. Last week a ship docked at Marchwood near Southampton from the Falklands. On board was a piece of rock weighing in at 5 tonnes and from the start line at Mt Harriet. SAMA Wales have organised thanks to Brian Jones and others for this rock to come to us in order that we may make a national monument for the Falklands conflict in Wales. I will post much more information very soon. 'Curly'

The London Chat Show at Canal Cafe Theatre
Recurring event
We watch them on TV, listen to their radio interviews and buy the magazines or newspapers they feature in but it is time to get up close and personal with some of the most high-profile names in the UK and hear their real life stories in a live theatre setting. The London Chat Show allows an audience to experience the side of the interview they don't usually get to see. Famous faces and interesting characters will be breaking the barrier between the journalist and public to share their tales in front of an intimate crowd. Interviewees will include actors, musicians, comedians, sports stars and some of the country's most successful entrepreneurs. We will even hear from those who have shunned showbiz for a quiet life and discover their reasons for doing so. What all guests will have in common is an interesting story to tell. Some may even be happy to answer burning questions from the audience

Over the past five years the Greene County Commission has decreased the support they provide for the office of the Greene County Extension Council from $100,000 to only $10,000. Local MU Extension offices are partnerships between MU and local County Commissions. The local Commission funds the office and MU Extension provides funding for staff salaries, training and equipment. A minimum of $72,000 a year is needed to properly funding a basic, functioning office.
The budget proposed by members of the Greene County Commission cuts the annual allocation to the Greene County Extension Council to the state minimum of $10,000 for 2012. That reduction puts the local office and programs in jeopardy. Read media release to learn more ...

I've just ordered the upgrade version of Lightroom 4. I already have LR3 installed on my main PC, so assume upgrading to LR 4 will be straightforward for that machine. However, I am also about to buy a new laptop and want to install LR4 on that machine as well. Firstly I assume that I can upload LR4 on two machines (as I could with LR3), but do I actually have to load LR3 on the new machine first, or can I just install the LR 4 upgrade disk? I am hoping that I just need to enter some form of key (probably the key for my LR3 version) to make it all work.
In addition to already having LR3 on my main computer, I also have it on an existing laptop. I have no need to load LR4 on the laptop that currently has LR3 on it, but do I need to uninstall it from the old laptop before trying to load LR4 (upgrade disk). Obviously If I need to load LR3 onto the new laptop first that answers the question as I can't have LR3 on 3 different computers at the same time.
Hope the question is clear and thanks for your help.
As your Lightroom 4 is the upgrade then im afraid yes you will need to install lightroom 3 first. I have found that if you havent registerd lightroom with adobe you can install on many machines and you dont need to unistall lightroom 3 first, just insert lightroom 4 disc and it will do all the work for you.
Hope this helps.

I do not believe that this is correct and unfortunately I cannot find the exact relevant details at the moment on Adobe's LR forums.
My understanding is when you download LR from Adobe, at whatever " formal" release ( i.e. not Release Candidate RC ) it is the "complete" package and on my system replaces the previous version. ( but I think it is possible to have both 3 & 4 installed at the same time... probably be confusing though ! )
Obviously you back up the previous version first just in case something unlikely goes wrong with the process
Quote: As your Lightroom 4 is the upgrade then im afraid yes you will need to install lightroom 3 first
Not entirely correct.....
All you need to do ( Even with an upgraded version ) is go ahead and install LR4 on your new machine.
When you get to the serial key part, You will enter the key that came with LR4.
Because its an upgrade version you will be asked to supply the key for your previous version ( LR3 ).....
This appears just under the key entry for the LR4 code that you typed in.....
Once you have entered the keys for both LR4 & LR3 as requested by the install process, Its job done and your home and dry.....
Its not a great idea to have both LR3 and LR4 installed on the same machine, LR4 will take over and convert any previous LR3 catalogues etc, Even down to user preferances, This happens even when the previous version has been uninstalled......!!!
Obviously a straight LR4 install on a new machine will be simpler, No old guff to convert, Just the trudge of setting up your prefs etc.

Michael Kiwanuka's musical blend has a Chicago flavor
BY Dave Hoekstra Staff email@example.com September 23, 2012 11:02PM
Musician Michael Kiwanuka. 2012 handout photo.
When: 7 p.m. Wednesday
Where: Park West,
322 W. Armitage
Info: (800) 514-ETIX; etix.com
Article Extras
Updated: October 24, 2012 6:14AM
Michael Kiwanuka sings from a unique pastel of folk, soul and jazz.
His ethereal sound has endeared him to everyone from Adele, who handpicked the British artist to tour with her last year, to Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, who produced Kiwanuka's song "Lasan."
But the sound is not so unusual to old-school Chicagoans.
During the mid-1960s and '70s, Chicagoan Terry Callier and East St. Louis native Willie Wright were blending an enchanting blend of folk, jazz and soul that got lost in the shuffle of the British Invasion, electric blues (and folk) and later psychedelia. Last year the Chicago based Numero Group re-released Wright's splendid 1977 "Telling The Truth" album originally made for Hotel Records.
Kiwanuka, 24, headlines the Park West on Wednesday with a guitar-driven five piece band.
"I'm aware of Terry and Willie, and I love them," Kiwanuka said last week in a phone call from France. "I bought Willie's album at Amoeba in Los Angeles four or five months ago. I completely hear what I'm doing in their music, from folk to real songcraft to soul singing to jazz. Those nuances, colors, times and chords inspire me so much, I want to make a mish-mash of all that. And that's what those guys did. My album ['Home Again'] was done by the time I discovered Willie, but I knew Terry's first album very well."
That would be "The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier," recorded in 1964 at Webb Recording in Chicago and re-released in 2003 on Fantasy.
Real songcrafting is a key to Callier's work.
From 1970-77 Callier was a key member of the Chicago Songwriters Workshop, created by Jerry Butler.
Callier wrote material for Chess and its subsidiary Cadet label. Born in 1945 in the Cabrini-Green housing neighborhood, he was a childhood friend of area resident Curtis Mayfield, who had joined Butler in the early versions of the Impressions. Callier and Mayfield were cut from the same musical cloth, although Callier used traditional folk idioms in place of Mayfield's gospel.
Callier's story is compelling.
The guitarist-vocalist retired from music between 1982 and 1996 to raise his daughter and study computer programming. Callier got a job at the University of Chicago and took evening classes to obtain a sociology degree. In the late 1980s his music emerged in the acid jazz movement in Kiwanuka's U.K., and as recently as 2009 Callier released "Hidden Conversations" on the English label Mr. Bongo Records. Despite several calls to Chicago jazz-soul sources, Callier could not be located for comment. The trail dried up around 2002 after Callier completed a Monday night residency subbing for Patricia Barber at the Green Mill. Club owner Dave Jemillo thinks Callier moved to Europe.
But Callier's esoteric nature blossoms in Kiwanuka's young soul.
"I think about paint and color a lot in music," he said. "In the way an orchestra can sound, you can make a guitar sound like that with chords and a rhythm. It creates a mood. The instruments you pick on a song create an atmosphere. If you want to have something in a high register, that is quite pretty-sounding, and my voice is in a low register, so something like a flute enhances that. That's why I like jazz. Instrumental music relies on color and textures to create interest."
Kiwanuka began playing guitar at age 11. His brother was a fan of rhythm and blues, but Kiwanuka drifted into rock 'n' roll. "My first favorites were guitar bands like Nirvana and Hendrix to even pop punk like Green Day and Pearl Jam," he said, "as well as English groups like the Verve and Radiohead." Kiwaunka began listening to jazz at the age of 14 and embraced the flourishes that flavor "Home Again."
"I got into Miles Davis in a big way and electric jazz," he said. "That's how I got the idea of using flutes and that kind of orchestration. I never had enough money to have a record player, but my friend did and he used to collect old blues records. Collecting American soul and blues was also a big thing for me and the people around me."
Wright was a staple of the East Coast folk scene but in the early 1960s also spent time at the Blind Pig and Fickle Pickle folk clubs on the North Side of Chicago. Earl Pionke became a fan and hired Wright to play at the Earl of Old Town across from Second City. Wright's folk pedigree was set against a progressive soul sound generated by guitarist Harry Jensen of the Jimmy Castor Bunch, a funk dance group. "Telling the Truth" includes a bonus track of Wright's cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Right On for the Darkness" released in 1971.
And Wright sang, played rhythm acoustic guitar and flute, setting up a landscape that is familiar to Kiwanuka fans.
Connect the dots.
Wright is 74, retired and battling Parkinson's disease at his home in Providence, R.I.
Numero co-founder Ken Shipley said, "The sad connection that gets made from that world is that all black folk singers are cut from the same cloth. I think Terry Callier and Willie Wright both have extremely strong voices from that world and, yes, there's not a ton that sounds like that. Terry is coming from a Chicago blues scene and such a turned-on experience. Willie Wright's experience is turned-on too, but by the time he makes 'Telling the Truth' he's settled down and living in Nantucket."
"Telling the Truth" was a success for Numero. "It's one of our top five selling records," Shipley said.
Kiwanuka mostly gets compared to the jazz-soul of Bill Withers, but he doesn't subscribe to those roots as much as the high energy of Callier and Wright. "I listened to Bill's music, but he wasn't an influence as much as other people were," he said. "He did influence me in the way he writes songs, the intimacy of them."
Kiwanuka's parents escaped the Idi Amin regime (1971-79) in Uganda. His father, Michael, is an electrical engineer, and his mother, Deborah, was a domestic and worked in assisted-living homes at night. Kiwanuka had never been to Chicago until he appeared at this summer's Lollapalooza. "I checked out some cool guitar shops in Chicago," he said. "It seems like a cool place like a chilled-out New York, not as hectic."
While traveling across America, Kiwanuka is writing music and recording on Garage Band. He's rolling out some new songs in concert.
"The festivals [Lollapalooza, Outside Lands in San Francisco] have shaped me more than hearing regional music," he said. "I look for other bands that catch my ear and eye. I started on electric [guitar], I've been stuck on acoustic for a while, but I'm hearing people like Jack White and Gary Clark Jr. at these festivals. Now I want to play electric guitar again."

The Breakout: How The Devils Exploited The Rangers' Defensive Woes
By NYRNation on Jan 27, 2013 with Comments 0
It's no secret that, in the early goings of this shortened NHL season, the New York Rangers have looked slow, disorganized, and largely unthreatening. After finishing the 2011-12 regular season perched atop the Eastern Conference standings while allowing the fewest goals in the conference, the notoriously stingy Blueshirt defense has allowed 14 goals in 4 games (a number underperformed in the conference only by winless Washington's 17). Granted, a lack of training camp can be a detriment to the roster's fitness, new players require time to gel, and the Rangers were given a tough early schedule to cope with, but the Rangers have been largely outplayed for extended chunks of every game thus far. Numerous shifts in games against Boston, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia have looked eerily similar in each opponent's method and ability to keep the Rangers pinned in their own zone for extended periods of time, leading to icings, penalties and goals against the good guys.
I say these opponents' strategies are alike, but in actuality they are identical. Each foe has adopted the same game-plan that Peter Deboer and his New Jersey Devils used to dispatch a more-talented New York team and move on to the Stanley Cup Finals last May. The scheme is simple – jump the Rangers' breakout, and never allow them to carry the puck out of their own zone.
Ladies and Gentlemen, a breakout is more than simply a play that helps you alleviate pressure and exit the defensive zone; it is also a main source of building speed for an upcoming offensive rush (see: first goal against Boston on 1/23). Still, that was a play that began with time and space behind their own net. The Rangers have continuously struggled to handle the opposition's forecheck and pressure on the puck deep within their own zone. Other teams have taken notice, and now choose to dump the puck into Henrik's end with complete confidence of retrieving it. Coach John Tortorella has instructed his team on a set breakout, but while the Devils and other teams have caught on, the Blueshirt bench boss has neglected (refused?) to alter his strategies.
Torts' D-zone Breakout:
Step 1) When puck is dumped into the corner (say, to Henrik's right side), the near-side defenseman (note: d-man on the same side as the puck) retreats toward the dumped puck and whacks it as hard as he can around the net to the boards on the far side.
Step 2) As the defenseman recovers and slaps the dumped puck, the winger on the far side (i.e. the side to which the puck is being wrapped) hauls ass over to the HIGH WALL (near the top of the faceoff circle) in attempt to chip the puck past the opposing defenseman, and/or toward his Center, (who has gained speed while following the path of the puck around the boards) in order to start a rush into the offensive zone.
The Rangers had a lot of success with this breakout until the Eastern Conference Finals, where Devils Coach Peter Deboer picked up on Torts' not-so-complicated scheme, and decided to counter it.
New Jersey's Anti-Breakout Forecheck:
Step 1) When the puck is dumped into the Rangers zone and the Blueshirt d-man goes to whack it around the boards, have the forward who chipped the puck deep HIT THAT DEFENSEMAN AS HARD AS HE CAN. This hit not only establishes an intimidating physical presence every time the puck is dumped, but also prevents the defender (say, Dan Girardi) from getting full power behind his wrap.
Step 2) Have the Devils' far winger read the play and crash the wall faster AND LOWER DOWN THE BOARDS than the Rangers' forward. This allowed the New Jersey forwards to recover the puck in Hank's territory, and keep the puck deep for sustained periods. The method was worked to perfection by Stephen Gionta, Ryan Carter, and Steve Bernier- the Devils 4th line last spring.
Step 3) Also pinch the far side defenseman down the wall in order to negate the Blueshirt forward, and help outnumber the good guys where the puck is. Should the puck get past the first Devils' forechecker, the pinching defenseman's presence hinders the Rangers' time and space, and thus their ability to make a play and move the puck to a teammate to begin a rush the other way.
This counter measure by New York's opponents leads to prolonged shifts of getting pinned in their own defensive zone. While the Rangers are well schooled defensively, and keep their puck-carrying foes to the perimeter, all the skating, chasing, and shot blocking takes its toll on weary bodies- the result of which is often an icing, a penalty, or a goal against.
Instead of making a quick, smart, precise play that can lead to an offensive break, the Rangers must worry more about simply chipping the puck out of the zone and changing lines. This allows the other teams to regain puck possession quickly in the neutral zone and re-dump the puck (or make a quick pass up-ice while the Rangers "trade places"), thus starting the process all over again. Other teams have picked up on this hole in Torts' system. They have started consistently dumping the puck and having their wingers and d-men crash the walls ahead of the poorly positioned Blueshirts.
How To Adjust The Breakout:
Step 1) Bring the far side winger further down the wall (to the bottom of the faceoff circle), and have the center (who, again, follows the path of the puck during the breakout, keeping himself between it and the net) swing through the slot towards the winger, allowing for a one-touch pass and easier access out of the zone to start a rush.
Step 2) Have the second defenseman (who is not retrieving the puck, i.e. McDonagh) go to the far side of the net, below the goal line. Instead of instantly wrapping the puck around the boards, have the puck-retreiver (Girardi) make a hard pass to his newly positioned partner. This provides McDonagh with the options to hit his streaking center with a pass, knock the puck up the wall to his winger, or even reverse the puck back to Girardi.
The keys to this kind of breakout are positioning, timing, and trust. These quick passes are made with the assumption that each linemate will be in his proper position at the right moment- all five players working as one cohesive unit on the way out of the zone. However, if one player is a step slow, the breakout breaks down and the puck is turned over. Again, a solid breakout not only gets you out of your defensive zone smoothly, but also helps to create your own offensive pressure.
The secret is out. Whether Tortorella is willing to pull a new trick out of his sleeve remains to be seen.

For a better idea of what the film is like I would like to suggest plugging Django into IMDB and reading up on the movies featuring the characters by that name or with that in the title dating back to "Django" in 1966 thru "Sukiyaki Western Django" in 2007.

turn out some stunning beers and they are simply one of the most exciting breweries in Britain at the moment. A claim all the more impressive given they were only re-established three years ago after a 100 year absence. The philosophy is to brew world class beers distinctive in style, flavour and character and when we say passionate about beer, we mean REALLY passionate! Winners of multiple awards and brewed with the best ingredients including water from The Yorkshire Dales, English malted barley and hops sourced from all over the world.
The Ilkley Brewery is a big favourite of mine and Mary Jane rivals many of the American Pale Ale's. Review by The Purveyor
Mary Jane is golden straw coloured with a lively foaming white head. Once opened it bursts with zingy hoppy citrus notes. On the first sip you are hit with a sweet hoppy taste which gives way to a citrus rush and finishes with a mild bitter hit. It is as refreshing as water, but at 3.5% don't drink too many. Perfect with seafoods and chicken salads. It is best drunk in Ilkley in the summer after a long walk around the Cow and Calf. Gorgeous as nectar. (Posted on 04/01/2013)

Whether or not you define named cells or ranges (range: Two or more cells on a sheet. The cells in a range can be adjacent or nonadjacent.) on a worksheet, you can use the Name box (Name box: Box at left end of the formula bar that identifies the selected cell, chart item, or drawing object. To name a cell or range, type the name in the Name box and press ENTER. To move to and select a named cell, click its name in the Name box.) to quickly locate and select specific cells or ranges by entering their names or their cell references (cell reference: The set of coordinates that a cell occupies on a worksheet. For example, the reference of the cell that appears at the intersection of column B and row 3 is B3.).
You can also select named or unnamed cells or ranges by using the Go To command.
Important To select named cells and ranges, you must first define their names on your worksheet (worksheet: The primary document that you use in Excel to store and work with data. Also called a spreadsheet. A worksheet consists of cells that are organized into columns and rows; a worksheet is always stored in a workbook.). For information about how to name cells or ranges, see Define and use names in formulas.
In the Name box, located at the left end of the formula bar (formula bar: A bar at the top of the Excel window that you use to enter or edit values or formulas in cells or charts. Displays the constant value or formula stored in the active cell.), do one of the following:
Tip You can also click the arrow next to the Name box to display the list of named cells or ranges, and then click the name that you want.
Note The currently selected cell or range will remain selected along with the cells or ranges that you select in the Name box.
Tip For example, type B3 to select that cell, or type B1:B3 to select a range of three cells.
Note In the Name box, you cannot delete or change names that have been defined for cells or ranges. You can delete or change names only in the Name Manager dialog box (Formulas tab, Defined Names group). For more information, see Define and use names in formulas.
Top of Page
Keyboard shortcut You can also press CTRL+G.
For example, in the Reference box, type B3 to select that cell, or type B1:B3 to select a range of three cells. You can select multiple cells or ranges by entering them in the Reference box, separated by commas.
Note In the Go to list, you can view all the named or unnamed cells or ranges that you previously selected by using the Go To command. To return to a previous selection, double-click the name of the cell reference in the Go to list.
Tip To quickly find and select all cells that contain specific types of data (such as formulas) or only cells that meet specific criteria (such as visible cells only or the last cell on the worksheet that contains data or formatting), click Special in the Go To dialog box, and then click the option that you want in the Go To Special dialog box.

Scottish Borders - a traditional larder
Robert Burns spoke of southern Scotland as a 'land o' cakes' - his reference was not to any sweet confection but plain oatcakes and barley bannocks, baked on an iron girdle over the fire. Wheat wasn't really grown in the Borders until the late18th century, as oats and barley were more reliable crops - so wheat flour for bread was a later introduction to daily fare.
Whilst we still enjoy oatcakes today, the barley bannock has now disappeared. It was made by heating milk with a knob of butter and a pinch of salt, adding the barley flour until it swelled into a pliable dough. The bannock was baked until thin and crispy, with a slightly moist centre, and eaten hot.
The yeasted wheat Selkirk bannock reputedly made its first appearance around 1859, deliciously incorporating sugar, spices, and dried fruit. Queen Victoria is said to have enjoyed Selkirk bannock on a visit to Abbotsford House in 1867, after which the demand for these succulent, sultana-stuffed breads soared. It endures as a delicious Scottish Borders delicacy – whether eaten fresh or toasted, warmed and spread with butter – or made into a delicious variation of standard bread and butter pudding.

Former Andhra minister joins TRS
Former Andhra minister Konda Surekha and her husband Konda Murali Tuesday joined the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).
Surekha and Murali, a former legislator, had quit the YSR Congress party last year after it opposed formation of separate Telangana state and rejoined the Congress party, which they had left in 2009.
However, as the Congress reportedly refused to field Surekha from an assembly constituency in Warangal district, they joined TRS.
The couple took the decision after meeting TRS chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao at the latter's residence here Tuesday. The TRS has reportedly promised party ticket from Warangal East assembly constituency and assured that her husband would be nominated to the legislative council.
Konda Surekha, however, claimed that they were not joining TRS for any post. She told reporters that TRS alone is capable of transforming Telangana into a golden state.
Chandrasekhara Rao's son and TRS leader K. Tarakarama Rao said this would strengthen the party in Warangal district.
Surekha had resigned from the cabinet in October 2009 after Congress leadership refused to make Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy the chief minister following the death of his father Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy in a helicopter crash in 2009. She had also quit Congress to join YSR Congress floated by Jaganmohan Reddy in 2010.
After their resignation from YSR Congress, the couple had returned to Congress fold.

Prussia (ˈprʌʃə), never to be confused with Russia (unless you want a jackboot in the face), was a pissed-off and usually very angry Teutonic state in Northern Europe that no longer exists except as a state of mind. Forged from a mixture of Protestant work-ethic and militarism, Prussians were so tough that the terrified, fleeing peoples whose lands bordered theirs widely believed they were hatched from cannonballs. When dealing with them, just remember: "Never piss off a Prussian."

The good news: this is by far the most comprehensive book on the subject, and the most historical, I have come across in my reading. The original author was a recognized academic expert, and the adaptor is a food historian.

The recipes are excellent, though some of them will require ingredients only available to the diligent gardener. The cook wishing to present a period table will find the comments on cooking and serving in the period manner invaluable. The illustrations-- drool, drool-- include not only a few of the usual woodcut reproductions and coats of arms, but 21 drawings of actual medieval cooking utensils, and illustrations of various vegetables.

The 2013-14 Boston Celtics season came with plenty of ups and downs and twists and turns. It saw a changing of the guard from Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to Rajon Rondo. They went from being one of the most elite teams in the East to dropping to one of the worst in the league. It was essentially a season of turning over to the future, with plenty of new faces being brought in.
One of those faces is Brazilian big man Vitor Faverani.
Faverani, now 26, was eligible for the 2009 NBA Draft but went undrafted. During the 2013 offseason (July 22 to be exact), the Boston Celtics took a gamble on the big guy, and signed him to a three-year, $6 million contract. At the time, Boston needed help at the center position, and Faverani brought just that.
The 6'11" rookie appeared in 37 games for the Celtics, and began the season being bounced around from the starting lineup to the bench. In his first regular season appearance, Faverani dropped 13 points on 4-of-9 shooting in 27 minutes. In his next games, 12 points were scored by the big man, along with 18 rebounds and six blocks. Immediately, people began to believe that Faverani could be a serious difference maker for Boston that season.
Unfortunately, Vitor would only break double digits in scoring twice more the rest of the season, as he found himself spending several stints with the Maine Red Claws, a D-League affiliate of the Celtics. Knee surgery eventually cut his rookie year short, as he spent the rest of the season rehabbing.
Through his rookie season, Faverani showed flashes of skill, and began to justify the signing. But the big question remains is what can Faverani bring Boston come his sophomore season?
Well, the position of starting center is still up for grabs. Jared Sullinger, Kris Humphries, Kelly Olynyk, and Faverani all started at center for Boston last season, but no one truly justified a long term hold on the spot. Sullinger is almost guaranteed a starting job next year at either power forward or center following his impressive sophomore season where he drew comparisons to Kevin Love.
Olynyk showed that he has the skills to compete in the NBA, but whether he is ready for a starting job is still up in the air. Kris Humphries may have been one of the Celtics' best players all season, and if re-signed, he could be in position to grab hefty minutes either off the bench or in a starting role.
That leaves Vitor, who even after his rookie season is still a bit of a mystery; he has the size to compete at center (6'11", 260 pounds) and showed an ability to pull down rebounds (3.5 rebounds per game in just more than 13 minutes of play). Per 36 minutes, Faverani's numbers came out to 12.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, and two blocks per game. Not too bad for a rookie.
It's still unclear how Boston's lineup will look come this fall, especially since both the draft and free agency have yet to occur, but Vitor Faverani could be in play for some bigger minutes come next season. Poised with size and skill, he could be an x-factor for the Celtics' next year.
