Being once a PC gaming zealot, I missed a number of console games during my youth. After the Sega Genesis, I didn't own another console until a few years after the original Xbox was launched. As a result, there have been a number of big franchises and games I've missed out on, and I've been slowly trying to catch up on them.
One such franchise is Konami's Metal Gear series. With Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots having been recently released for the PS3, I decided it was high time I checked out the Metal Gear series, starting at the beginning. The real beginning, though, with the original Metal Gear for the MSX (or at least the ported version of it, which is available on Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence as an extra).
In playing the game, I was reminded how difficult and obtuse at times older games can be. What I found most interesting, however, was how the difficulty changed over time.
Design Lesson: By employing an inverse difficulty curve, Metal Gear is able to change the style of its gameplay as the player progresses.
Modern games do a fairly good job of introducing the player to new mechanics slowly. To help them along, designers often make sure the beginning of the game is the easiest, and difficulty increases incrementally from there.
Metal Gear's difficulty is flipped. While the player is introduced to new mechanics slowly, the beginning of the game is the hardest part. Solid Snake is given no weapons or items and charged with infiltrating an enemy base.
This means punching is the only method of attack available at the beginning of the game. Stealth is of the utmost importance during the early portions of the game, as a result. Sneaking around patrols to access new areas is how the majority of the beginning of the game plays. Being spotted alerts the guards, often leading to death or at least significant injury. Rations to restore health are rare at this stage in the game.
Soon, the player comes across a pistol, rations, and some key cards that open up new areas of the game. Part of Metal Gear revolves around saving prisoners. Save enough, and Solid Snake gains in rank, which ups his ammo capacities, maximum life, and number of rations that can be carried.
This is seemingly the primary game loop of Metal Gear. Sneak around, find objects that will gain you access to the next area, save people along the way, and rise in power over time.
By the time the player gets new weapons later in the game, like the grenade launcher and missile launcher, he is rather powerful. The enemies increase in number and strength, but not enough to counteract the strength of the player.
At this point, the gameplay changed for me. No longer was I supremely worried about sneaking. Sneaking was still a way of progressing, but I often found myself just running around the rooms trying to figure out where to go next. If enemies spotted me, I dispatched them easy.
Instead of dealing with enemies being the primary obstacle to game progression, the finding of the correct items to progress to the next area became the primary obstacle. Retracing my steps and trying to open every door became the style of play, and caution was slowly thrown into the wind.
As this continued, I would get even more powerful, to the point where I always had plenty of rations and firepower to defend myself against any aggression. The game world opened up dramatically, and I had many more options. This made finding the correct place to go difficult, but getting there wasn't. Whereas before, being caught by the enemy had significant ramifications, these ramifications were lost as I progressed through the game.
By the end of the game, I was a walking tank. I killed the last handful of bosses without breaking a sweat. I escaped easily. I conquered Metal Gear.
Normally games get harder as you go, but the core mechanic of the game stays the same. When the core mechanic is no longer necessary, a new way of playing is introduced. Because the game became easy from a survival point of view as I progressed, the way I approached the game began to differ.
I'm not sure if this was Hideo Kojima's intent when designing the game; it could just be bad game balancing or even something that happened during the porting of the MSX version of the game to the PS2. My preconceived notions of how the game would play were shattered, however. That's what ultimately made me enjoy the game so much; it did what I didn't expect it to do.

Design Lesson 101 - Metal Gear
Being once a PC gaming zealot, I missed a number of console games during my youth. After the Sega Genesis, I didn't own another console until a few years after the original Xbox was launched. As a result, there have been a number of big franchises and games I've missed out on, and I've been slowly trying to catch up on them.

I remember that difficulty curve you speak of from when I first played Metal Gear, though it was really quite a hindrance. It probably had to do with a lack of patience, but no matter what I couldn't seem to subvert a couple of dogs that were at the beginning of the game. I got too frustrated to play it. I was already a fan of MGS at the time, but I just couldn't seem to let that carry me through Metal Gear.ReplyDelete
But it seems the inverse difficulty curve came at the most improper time for Metal Gear. At the time, at least in America, people didn't necessarily expect a great narrative out of a video game. So it seems less likely that the story would be the rewarding element for conquering the difficulty.
Keep up the good work. I always enjoy your column. :)

NGT asks Jharkhand to survey all asbestos mines
By Abha Manakatala - Sun Jul 12, 12:09 pm
The National Green Tribunal has asked Jharkhand and four other mineral-rich states to survey all the asbestos and associated mineral mines and file a report stating the impact of overburden or waste lying at these mines and pits.
A Bench headed by judicial member U D Salvi observed that it is a matter of concern that asbestos and associated mineral mines have not been closed scientifically.
"In the instant case none of the mines both asbestos and associated minerals have been closed scientifically. Final mining closure plans have also not been submitted by concerned lessees. This can be a matter of concern," the Bench said.

- Project Details
Title "TEVAL II" - Innovative Evaluation Model in Teaching and Training Organisations/ TEVAL II - d'évaluation innovant pour les organismes d'éducation et de formation/
Project Number LLP/LDV/TOI/2007/PT/16
Year 2007
Project Type Transfer of Innovation
Status running
Country PT-Portugal
Marketing Text
TEVAL II - Innovative Evaluation Model in Teaching and Training Organizations is a European Lifelong Learning project aimed at enhancing the competence evaluation process of teaching and training practitioners. The focus is on the development of framework of common competences recognisable throughout Europe, and also the evaluation process itself.
The first phase of the project ('TEVAL I') was run as a 30 month 'Leonardo da Vinci' pilot project and finished in 2007. Funding was approved in November 2007 to further develop the Phase 1 outcomes under the Transferability theme of the new 'Lifelong Learning' programme. The aim is now to transfer the developing methodologies to more countries - especially those recently accepted as members of the European Community.
The Leonardo-da-Vinci Transfer of Innovation project TEVAL II is carried out (Nov 2007- Oct 2009) by a partnership made up with expert institutions in evaluation from seven European countries: Germany, France, Italia, Poland, Portugal, Rumania and United Kingdom.
TEVAL 2 rises in the sequence of the last years experience by the partnership that composed the Project TEVAL - Evaluation Model for Teaching and Training Practice Competences - LdV PT/ 04/ B/ F/ PP – 159050.
This Project has developed and validated an innovative evaluation model, using different qualitative research methodologies. The model was conceived regarding its sustainability for Education and Training organisations, such as schools, training centres, VET schools and other providers of learning opportunities, in the European context. The pertinence and need of an innovative evaluation model was confirmed by the analysis made by TEVAL research team in their national context. National and Transnational reports resulting from the Project refer to the need to improve and change the Evaluation Culture in teachers and trainers, and to emphasize teaching and training "new" competences regarding Education and Training changes and challenges in Europe.
In a complementary approach, parallel experiences in other European Projects, where partners have collaborated, brought up some strength to the need on consistent evaluation approaches in Education and Training systems in Europe (including professional competences' evaluation, organisation' evaluation', services' evaluation and students outcomes' evaluation), in order to implement a strong system for quality guarantee.
The aim for TEVAL II is to continue to the work developed during the past two years in the scope of TEVAL, bearing the validation of the achieved model in practice context, but mainly, it's intent to extend the model to other contexts, and to implement a wide learning about Evaluation for professionals and organisations.
In this perspective, the objectives for TEVAL 2 – Innovative Evaluation Model in Teaching and Training Organisations, for the proposed 24 months, are:
1. Identify the needs of a sample of Education and Training' actors about Competences' Evaluation (self and hetero evaluation), in the transference contexts;
2. Conceive a training course, based on the needs' diagnosis and on the Evaluation Model, for teachers and trainers;
3. Deliver a training course to a sample of teachers and trainers, according to the conceived training plan;
4. Conduct a pilot experience within the selected organisations, for the validation of the Evaluation Model in its application context.
The enlargement of the original team has allowed to build up a wide and diversified partnership composed by the following entities: Beja's Higher School of Education (PT), Univation, Institute for Evaluation (DE), CREDIJ (FR), FRAREG, s.r.l. (IT), EUREKA, European Training Centre (PL), Casa Corpului Didactic Dolj (RO) and EntenteUK (UK). The partnership covers multicultural approaches to teaching, training and evaluation, from the Anglo-Saxon systems to the Mediterranean systems. Furthermore, entities are representative of the range of activities and fields of knowledge involved in teaching. Training, learning and evaluation, from the more academic and research based activities to the implementation and face-to-face with the target groups of the Project.
In this scope, TEVAL 2 expects to have impact in the quality management of Educational and Training systems in Europe, through the generation of learning practice experiences, with all teaching and training actors, managers and administrative, in their work context – the organisations.

The original investigation had focused only on assigning blame, thus missing opportunities for learning. A deeper-dive investigation identified many actionable opportunities for improvements: (more…)
How to improve incident reporting rates
The core purpose of incident reporting is to learn from what happened in order to make improvements to future healthcare processes and systems and protect patients from harm.
However, research1,2 shows that as few as 7% of all patient safety incidents are reported. The barriers to incident reporting have been well researched and included many factors. Experience at Datix3 points towards the following themes:
- The forms are too complicated;
- Reporters do not receive feedback and cannot see that anything has changed as a result of their report;
- Fear of punishment or otherwise getting into trouble for reporting an incident or being labelled as a troublemaker.
Improving Diagnosis – Modulating "Hidden" Factors, Human and Otherwise
When we try to dissect through the various confounding factors that contribute to delays and errors in diagnosis, it is important to understand that only by delving deeply can one realize opportunities for improvements. In the case of human errors, or what I prefer to call human mistakes, there are often multiple contributing factors and thus many opportunities for improvements1. When investigations fail to delve deeply to identify contributing factors, then processes do not improve, professionals and institutions do not learn from past mistakes and patients may continue to suffer. (more…)
Learning from Avoidable Harm and Death in Healthcare
In recent years, there has been an increasing recognition that the way in which the NHS investigates and learns from instances of avoidable harm and death is extremely variable and often poor. This is an issue that has been identified time and time again in major national inquiries, from Sir Ian Kennedy's report into children's cardiac surgery at Bristol in 20012, the Mid Staffordshire report in 20132, the Morecambe Bay report in March 20153 and more recently, the Mazars report4, which looked at the deaths of people with learning disabilities who came into contact with the Southern Health trust between April 2011 and March 2015.
The Mazars report was commissioned following the tragic death of 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk5. Connor, who had a learning disability and epilepsy, died in 2013 while receiving care at an assessment and treatment centre run by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust. The report identified serious failings in how the trust recorded and investigated deaths and highlighted that certain groups of patients, including people with a learning disability, were far less likely to have their deaths investigated by the trust.
Diagnostic Delays and Errors – Elephants in the Room
Diagnostic errors are ipso facto delays in arriving at an accurate diagnosis, often resulting in delays in appropriate therapeutic interventions and possibly resulting in harm. The reasons for diagnostic delays and errors are complex and invoke numerous inefficiencies in communication and collaboration between professionals and professionals and patients. When one includes the necessity of ordering, performing, and interpreting ancillary investigations, the complexity of challenges in diagnosis become even more apparent as numerous opportunities for errors abound in these domains also. Perhaps most importantly, inefficiencies in cognitive reasoning abound, are pernicious, are often unrecognized, and are confounded by an array of human factors that may impair judgment6. (more…)
How Do Human Factors Effect Decision Making in Healthcare?
Try as we might – despite our greatest efforts and accomplishments – humans have yet to create the perfect technology, one which subsists independently of human support and influence. We have developed great advances in medicine, tremendous engineering feats, and have achieved the power to imbue machines with pseudo-intelligence and the ability to calculate, reason, solve problems, and perform complex tasks on our behalf. And yet, we have failed to create a system in which we are nonessential. Regardless of advances in nanorobotics, wearable technologies, or anti-bacterial lighting for our operating rooms, humans remain ever present—the greatest variable in the healthcare industry. (more…)
Why Culture Matters – Supporting Quality Investigations for Learning
The environment in which healthcare services are provided is complex. This is confounded by numerous variables that impair the noble goals of achieving higher reliability and improving patient and staff safety. The complexity in healthcare is based on multiple structures and processes, all of which must align to achieve ideal outcomes. But that simple model does not explain the complexity completely, as one must also consider the necessity and frequency of interactions between clinical and support staff and between staff and patients. All these interactions are affected by a bewildering array of factors that affect human performance. For this reason, when investigations are undertaken into causality of patient safety incidents, the culture of an institution as established and sustained by leadership, for better or worse, plays a crucial role. (more…)
Improving Incident Investigations – Where there is a need, there must be a way!
There is an urgent need in health care that must be confronted. The latest studies regarding the deaths related to health care reveal that about 250,000 people die in the USA every year due to engagement with the US healthcare industry2. This is not because of underlying illnesses, but rather as a result of system and process insufficiencies and human mistakes. Many orders of magnitude more are harmed, often seriously harmed, and some are permanently damaged. The numbers are daunting and define a public health crisis of enormous proportions. Even if one wishes to debate the validity of the numbers, even if one instead uses the figure of just under 50,000 noted in the IOM report of 19992, this is still a public health crisis of great magnitude and affects thousands of mothers, grandmothers, fathers, grandfathers, children, sons, daughters, friends and lovers, even enemies. How can this be and what can we do about it?
It is essential that we strive diligently to learn from investigations of safety incidents to identify the system and process errors and human mistakes that result in injuries and deaths. We must do so in a systematic fashion that leads to actionable improvements in the provision of healthcare services, and thus in patient safety. Sadly, more often than we would imagine, so-called "root cause" analyses are inadequate, sometimes focusing on individual performance in a "blame and shame" fashion instead of truly understanding the complexities of contributing factors that result in causality at the tip of the needle.
Clinicians rarely, if ever, intend to harm patients, and in my view, if an investigation points to an individual as the root cause, then that investigation has not delved deeply enough.
How organizations can learn from incident reporting
In cases of incident reporting, it's easy to focus on mistakes and events that directly result in the harm or improper care of individuals. However, incidents often include factors such as minor injuries, falls, and refusals to take medications. While seemingly inconsequential to the overall well-being and health of an individual, these incidents can help reveal serious underlying factors and aid in the avoidance of future mistakes and failures.
How Big Data is Improving Healthcare
It's easy to take data for granted. For many of us, data seems to simply materialize for our benefit. The methods by which data is collected is invisible to nearly all, save the individuals responsible for its acquisition; and prior to the arrival of Big Data, this information was collected painstakingly over great lengths of time and often resulted in incomplete or false information.
Traditionally, data was – and, in part, largely still is – collected by means of paper forms. In the world of healthcare, these forms come from various sources, including physician offices, patient histories, X-ray scans, hospital records, and surveys performed via telephone, email, and door-to-door visits. To be integrated into any form of computerized system, this data has to then be entered manually by groups of individuals over weeks, months, and even years of meticulous work.
Mobile apps in healthcare
We live in an era of mobile technology. Everything we need to know, everything we want to purchase or browse or better understand is carried with us in our pockets. Whether bank account summaries, cinema listings, Facebook updates, or tips on how to turn that old, unwanted pair of jeans into a set of placemats, our phones and tablets carry with them every bit of information we deem pertinent to our daily lives. As we, as a culture, continue to delve deeper into the ever-encompassing world of mobile technology, so do the suppliers of our food and clothing and entertainment have to move along with us, adapting their approach to supplying products and services to match our demand for instant consumption.
It makes sense that the world of healthcare would inevitably evolve to meet these same needs. And now, with the advent of mobile apps – such as Red Cross' First Aid, MyChart, and Doctor on Demand, patients are given the same access to their healthcare services that they have grown accustomed to in all other aspects of their lives.
Why rigorous investigations matter
Advancements made in the healthcare industry over the years have been truly crucial in how we value and regard medicine. Technologies have been developed to perform surgeries and procedures not thought possible prior to their creation. Revelations have been made in the treatment of diseases once believed to be incurable, such as Malaria, Tuberculosis, and Measles, all of which are now perfectly treatable through proper care and medicine. It has not even been a hundred years since the advent of penicillin, which is unparalleled to any other discovery in modern medicine and responsible for saving untold lives since its introduction.
From 'no blame' to a 'just culture'
Last month, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) published a report relating to the tragic death of 3 year old Sam Morrish. Sam died in 2010 from sepsis. In 2014, the PHSO published a report that found Sam would have survived had he received appropriate care and treatment. However, whilst the 2014 report confirmed that Sam's death was avoidable, it didn't provide a satisfactory explanation as why it was that the local NHS failed to uncover what happened and therefore couldn't ensure that necessary learning took place. At the request of Sam's parents, the PHSO undertook a new investigation to look at why.
The report found that the local investigation process was not fit for purpose, was not sufficiency independent, inquisitive, open or transparent and that the people carrying out the investigation were not sufficiently trained. It's a hard hitting, compelling document that builds on the now strong evidence base that tells us there is an urgent need for change in the way the NHS responds and learns from mistakes. Sam's father, Scott Morrish said:
Florence Nightingale – "Authentic Leadership" for Patient Safety
War is a terrible, horrible thing. As a former military physician, I have been to war and have seen the mayhem inflicted by the mechanics and methodologies of modern warfare, alarming and sobering stuff, indeed. It ain't pretty and it sticks with you, forever!
Having said this, it remains a fact that many great advances in health care have resulted from the experiences of doctors and nurses serving in war zones and treating medical, surgical and psychological casualties of both military and civilian victims – resulting from the destruction and chaos of conflict.
It should not surprise any of us involved in healthcare professions that amidst all this havoc, individuals with great compassion and even greater insight and awareness often arise. The collective adrenaline of our medical culture, functioning under duress, often fosters brilliance and innovation. Good stuff and good people percolate upwards.
Why every Datix is a GREATix
Here at the Datix HQ in Wimbledon, we've been learning about and discussing recent initiatives to report and learn from 'excellence incidents'. There are a number of compelling reasons why reporting and learning from examples of good practice and excellence in healthcare are valuable. By sharing examples of outstanding care or improvement initiatives that have been shown to result in tangible benefits, this learning can be shared and emulated by others. The very act of recognising examples of excellence is also something that can greatly improve morale and help foster a supportive and positive culture.
There is also real value in looking in detail at specific incidents of excellence. A recent paper describes a process where such reports are given detailed consideration at an 'IRIS' (Improving Resilience, Inspiring Success) or reverse SIRI (Serious Incident Report Investigation). The paper describes the positive benefits derived from the process, including empowering front line staff to share ideas and innovation.
It is encouraging to learn that some organisations are starting to use Datix as a means of reporting 'excellent incidents' and we've even seen the term "GREATix" coined to describe such reports. We are currently working to see how we might be able to support such initiatives.
Leadership and Management – It's all about clarity
Leadership often is viewed as something emanating from the top and filtering downward. However, effective leadership is more about colleagues working together, buy-in and bottom-up implementation than anything else. For a leader to be effective, a culture of collegial buy-in must be present, and there must be reasons for followers to follow, to sustain a safety culture and to align their daily work efforts and patterns with clearly stated goals of the institution. Themes, goals and mission statements may emanate from the top, but their achievement depends on the efforts of subordinate levels of leadership and, ultimately, to those on the front-line.
In "closed" systems where members of staff are salaried employees, it may be easier to implement and sustain a culture of safety and to develop strategies to achieve institutional goals. In more "open" systems, where some doctors and nurses are employees and others are self-employed or working under contracts, especially agency staff, it may be more difficult for leadership to be effective. If leaders and front-line stakeholders are not aligned and working together to achieve the same outcomes, then safety and highest quality cannot be assured.
Leadership and the Just Culture – Holding the Keys to Safety, Joy and Meaning
Leaders are responsible for establishing and sustaining the culture of an institution. They are accountable for monitoring the institution's cultural rhythm. With strong leadership, that rhythm should vacillate only slightly, rather like the variations on a barometer as compared to those on a thermometer. The rhythm must be stable or else turbulence sets in, with associated disruptions and hazards. Safety degrades under such circumstances and patients and staff can be harmed.
A key strategy for success is for leaders to recognize vulnerabilities that may affect staff performance and to address them specifically. This is accomplished by sustaining a culture where just treatment, e.g., the Just Culture, is the norm. The Just Culture consists of two dimensions, related but also unique in character.
Is it Possible to Modernize How Guidelines and Policies are Stored?
Considering the ubiquity of modern technology and computers, it seems an archaic notion that information such as patient records, healthcare policies, and guidelines would be stored by means of paper filing systems. However, it was not long ago that hospitals and other care facilities began implementing electronic systems for filing records in lieu of conventional and antiquated means of paper storage. (more…)

|Danny Ainge raves about 'excellent workout' with Jaylen Brown, plays it close to vest on Dragan Bender
|06.01.16 at 11:45 pm ET
WALTHAM – Count Danny Ainge among those impressed with Cal prospect Jaylen Brown.
The Celtics executive responsible for pulling the trigger on the No. 3 draft pick (assuming the Celtics keep it) saw the 6-foot-6 swingman in a workout Wednesday before the press conference to announce the contract extensions of Ainge and head coach Brad Stevens.
"So Jaylen, I thought he looked very good in a workout," Ainge said. "It was an excellent workout. We had a lot of players in this morning – I don't know what our number's up to now, 40 or 50. And we've been around the country, traveling and watching all the players around the country, and agent workouts and so forth."
Brown was among eight players who worked out for the Celtics in Waltham Wednesday.
Ainge said his expedition, along with son Austin, through Europe and Israel last week were beneficial. Among the elite players the Ainge saw work out was Croatian center Ante Zizic.
"We just got back from a weeklong trip to Croatia, Serbia and Israel," Ainge said. "And those trips were excellent also. It's just good to get to know the players that we're considering in the draft. It's good to watch them in their environment. But I think more importantly just getting to know them, and seeing some of their strengths and weaknesses, and where they are at this stage of their careers."
It was in Israel that Ainge saw the much-ballyhooed Croatian talent Dragan Bender in person. Bender is playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv.
"We had a 1-on-none and a 1-on-1 type of workout with his brother," Ainge said. "Actually, [Ivan Bender] will be playing at Maryland next year. He's a 6-10 kid."
But then Ainge quick put the focus back on Dragan, whom the Celtics wanted to work out in person since his recent game action has been limited by his age (18) and experience.
"And then we watched him in a full team practice, which we actually thought was better than a game because we'd seen all his games," Ainge said. "We'd seen him play in person in games, and because he's not playing a major role as an 18-year-old in a tough Israeli league, we were able to watch him practice. And we thought that was more beneficial than what we'd seen in games."
WALTHAM — Back in the day, Red Auerbach did the job Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens do now and won nine NBA titles, including a remarkable eight straight.
Obviously, the NBA world of today is significantly more complicated and involved and it takes two people like Ainge and Stevens to try and win just one championship.
Still, these are the Celtics, and anytime you talk long-term goals, as was the case Wednesday with the extensions of Ainge and Stevens, you go back to Auerbach for a reference point. That's what owner Wyc Grousbeck did Wednesday at the press conference at the Celtics practice facility.
"These jobs – the president of basketball operations and the head coach of the Boston Celtics are storied positions. Both were held by the incomparable Red Auerbach," Grousbeck said. "I personally believe that Red would be very happy. This is the right thing for the Celtics, you represent excellent and Celtic pride on and off the court. These are the exact people we want to run the Celtics.
In signing Ainge and Stevens long-term, Grousbeck believes the team is setting a foundation for years to come.
"It's the principal job of ownership to find the very best people, to run the basketball side, to find them, recruit them, bring them in and offer them all the support and encouragement we can and retain them – create an environment where they want to stay. These conversations happened recently, very forthrightly," Grousbeck said. "There was great interest on both sides. They were easy conversations. It just represented a great re-commitment from Brad and Danny to the Celtics."
|Danny Ainge on unified Celtics with Brad Stevens: 'Great things will happen in Celtics history'
|at 5:25 pm ET
WALTHAM — The Celtics sound like a unified group heading into what co-owner Stephen Pagliuca called the "most complex" offseason the franchise has had in the 13 years of the current stewardship.
In announcing the contract extensions of president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and coach Brad Stevens, the common theme Wednesday afternoon was one of unity and commitment.
"This foundation we have is very unique in the world we live in — pressure-packed, public world in pro sports," Ainge said. "The fact we have such great unity with ownership I think is unique. I value that premium. It's a great working environment, I have a great relationship here, stronger trust, year in and year out. As we work together I believe great things will happen in Celtics history."
Perhaps most intriguing about Ainge's opening comments Wednesday was his admission that it really didn't take much to get him to sign on the dotted line to extend his current contract, which owner Wyc Grousbeck acknowledged expired before that of Stevens, who still had three years left on his initial $22 million deal signed in 2013.
"To tell yoju a little bit, our negotiation was basically Stay, and I said Wyc, do you want me to stay? We had a 10 or 15 minute negotiation, and then our focus turned to Brad," Ainge said. "It turned to what we need to do. We all understand it's emotional and very challenging, him with two kids at home and all you have to manage. I've been there. We're lucky to have Brad and Tracey with us in a long term situation.
"They don't have to answer any more questions about Indiana and Butler, and Duke, North Carolina. We're very excited to have Brad. Who he is and what he does on the court is unmatched. We're grateful he wants to stay with us. In the three short years he's been with us, and it's good he's making a long-term commitment to us as well."
|Wyc Grousbeck extends Danny Ainge, Brad Stevens: '[They] represent exactly what the Boston Celtics stand for'
|at 11:40 am ET
The Celtics have made their first big move of the offseason.
No, they haven't added or subtracted players yet. Owners Wyc Grousbeck and Stephen Pagliuca just recommitted themselves to the people who will be making those decisions.
The team announced Wednesday that they have extended the contracts of President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge and Head Coach Brad Stevens. Terms of the deals, including the length of the extensions, were not disclosed.
"Danny and Brad represent exactly what the Boston Celtics stand for: excellence on and off the court," Grousbeck said in a statement. "With their long-term deals in place, we are continuing to build towards competing for Banner 18. Our ownership group thanks them for their hard work and their re-commitment to the Celtics."
Ainge, who just completed his 13th season as Celtics President of Basketball Operations, has compiled a record of 565-484 (.539) during his tenure, making 10 trips to the post-season, three Conference Finals appearances and two trips to the NBA Finals, including winning the NBA Championship in 2008. That season, fellow NBA executives voted Ainge the Executive of the Year for the 2007-08 season.
"I am grateful to continue to work in an environment where I'm surrounded by so many people that are an integral part of our success," Ainge said in the team release. "We have had great stability in this organization since the ownership group bought the Celtics. We know our strengths and weaknesses and as a group we work well together. Wyc, Irv, Steve, Rich, Brad and I have a common goal in pursuing Banner 18 and I'm looking forward to this next chapter in Boston Celtics history."
As for Stevens, he completed his third season as the team's head coach, guiding the team to a 48-34 record and clinching the team's second consecutive playoff berth. Stevens is a two-time NBA Eastern Conference Coach of the Month winner, most recently for games played in February 2016, where he led the Celtics to the best record in the Eastern Conference (9-3) and a 6-0 mark at the TD Garden.
|Celtics choice: Buddy Hield vs. Avery Bradley
|05.31.16 at 12:41 pm ET
In the days leading up to June's NBA draft, we want to encourage debate regarding what the Celtics should do with the No. 3 overall pick. In that spirit, we present, "Celtics choice."
Today: Using the No. 3 pick on Oklahoma shooting guard and college player of the year Buddy Hield or keeping NBA first-team all-defense guard Avery Bradley.
The case for Hield
An NBA-ready scorer who played four years of college basketball in a major conference. Hield was a monster, adding dribble penetration and increased range to his explosive offensive game. He averaged 25 points a game and shot .457 from 3-point territory. His shot chart is off the charts, with above-average production from everywhere on the floor except the left baseline. As a senior, he's more polished than most of the teens and freshmen coming out this year. And he demonstrated an ability to hit big, clutch shots throughout his senior year, leading the Sooners to the Final Four, where they lost to Villanova, the eventual champs.
The case against Hield
Will Hield's 6-foot-4 frame translate to the NBA? It's one thing when you're stronger than most of the players you face in college. It's another when you're going up against '2' guards with three or four inches on you and you need to create your own shot. Steph Curry can create his own shot with just a split-second of space. But he is certainly the exception to the rule. There are also legitimate questions about his foot speed and ability to create his own shot at the next level. He's also considered a subpar defender. The biggest criticism of Hield is that he's reached his ceiling.
Isaiah Thomas had good intentions in his immediate recruitment of Kevin Durant after the Thunder's Game 7 loss to the Warriors Monday night.
Just about an hour after Durant and the Thunder fell, 96-88, to the Warriors, Thomas took to Twitter to plant a seed in the mind of the superstar, who will be a free agent this summer.
But the Celtics point guard quickly deleted his tweet to Durant, which featured the No. 35 with a Shamrock to the right.
There are a couple of reasons Thomas might have taken it down, not the least of which is realizing the sensitivity of the moment, after Durant's dreams of reaching the NBA finals for a second time came to a crashing end. The Thunder became just the 10th team in NBA history to lose a 3-1 lead in a best-of-7 series and the first in the conference finals since the Philadelphia 76ers blew a 3-1 lead to the Celtics in 1981.
Another reason might lie in another sensitivity. The No. 35 is already retired in Boston, as it was raised to the rafters in honor of the late Celtics captain Reggie Lewis, who died in 1993.
Thomas is not the first Boston athlete to openly recruit Kevin Durant to the Celtics. New Patriots nose tackle and lifelong Celtics fan Terrance Knighton said last week during OTAs that he would be in the ear of Durant as soon as Durant's season was over.
The efforts of Thomas and Knighton might be in vain as ESPN's NBA insider Marc Stein reports that those close to the situation see Durant signing a two-year max deal to stay in Oklahoma City, with an opt-out after the first year.
Durant will become a 10-year vested NBA veteran after next season, and is eligible to take up a significant portion (up to 35 percent) of any team's payroll. Durant is currently at the 30 percent threshold.
Most insiders see the most likely scenario at present to be Kevin Durant staying in OKC on a two-year max deal with an opt-out after Year 1.

Wizards, Heat, Celtics, Rockets, Knicks, Lakers, Spurs and, yes, Warriors … all expected to pursue Kevin Durant in free agency this summer

|Full Court Press: Celtics look for their next big thing; Klay Thompson goes off
|05.29.16 at 4:00 pm ET
Maybe what the Celtics should really be looking for is the next Klay Thompson in the June 23 draft.
For all the talk about who to take with the third pick or if they should trade for Jahlil Okafor or Nerlens Noel, the Celtics could use a long scorer like Thompson, the somewhat overshadowed other half of the Splash Brothers. For anyone who missed Saturday night's epic 41-point effort from Thompson, they missed one of the greatest performances in an elimination game.
Thompson led one of the most dramatic comebacks in the fourth quarter. He made an NBA playoff record 11 3-pointers in 18 attempts and powered the Warriors to a 33-18 fourth quarter that turned an eight-point deficit into a stunning 108-101 Warriors win in Game 6 that sent the Western finals back to Oakland for Game 7 Monday night.
Thompson was the 11th overall pick of the Warriors in the 2011 draft, behind Brandon Knight (8th), Kemba Walker (9th) and Jimmer Fredette (10th). Thompson has been playoff MVP of the Warriors quest to finish off their historic season. He's been averaging 26.5 points in the postseason, including 31.0 points in the five-game win over Portland, a series they were without the injured Steph Curry for the first three games.
There are a number of shooters like Thompson in the draft, including Jamaal Murray, who would be available at No. 3, and possibly No. 16. NBADraft.net has the Celtics taking Buddy Hield, the shooting guard and Wooden Player of the Year in college basketball. Hield doesn't have the height of Thompson, who is 6-foot-7, but he is considered one of the most mature players ready to contribute right away in the pros.
NBADraft.net also has the Celtics taking Cheick Diallo, the big man out of Kansas. Those mocks, of course, don't take into consideration potential trades.
Trippin: Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge left for Israel Friday to watch Dragan Bender, the highly-touted prospect and potential No. 3 draft pick play, along with another European star in Ante Zizic.
The Celtics have three first-round picks at Nos. 3, 16 and 23.

Hello Claire, I grow all my plants out of those mini greenhouses and home made seedhouses/frames. I'm off the same mind as you, I get loads of satisfaction and enjoyment from growing my own.
Summer bedding plants are generally not hardy so die off in our cold winters. There's always exceptions to the rule so some people over winter those smelly geraniums successfully in unheated greenhouses.
As phillipa suggests a good place to start would be to get your head around annuals, biennuals and then perennials.
I've just sown some biennuals, honesty and wallflowers. I've sown them now and when they are big enough I will plant them out and then they will flower April/ May next year. Forget me nots are these as well, I've found once you've got them they will happily self seed all over the place Foxgloves are another example of biennuals and good self seeders.
I've also got some perennials on the go that I sowned in March, these seem to take longer to germinate and sometimes particular seeds like particular conditions to get going.
Knowledge is just trial and error and learning your plants as you go Try and sow thinly, as given the right condtions I'm still amazed at how many plants you can get out of a packet of seed. If you do go for the plastic mini greenhouses, make sure they are secure they have a tendancy to fly off!
Have fun
There seems to be loads of these about this year. Nearly had a face full a few weeks ago!
I have a montana type that has been with me or friends for many years. It's still in the large pot,not sure how I will get it out of there. This year I'm making sure it's having plenty of water and I fed it blood fish and bone and it's doing well.
Sorry to hear of your plants demise Bob Bob. I'm still checking everyday and so far no sign of them. Flower spikes are just starting to form, it was around this stage that the aphids descended last year.
I had one of these self seeded in a pot, fast forward a year and I've grown loads of it. Bees love it and I find it easy to grow from seed.
Great foxgloves G Donkey,most of mine got eaten. I've sown wallflowers, some purple honesty and some catananche recently. I've not tried pinching pinching foxgloves out, most things get bushier
Argh! That's creeping buttercup, get it out quick! I used to have a lot of this in one garden. I dug a lot of it out but still had to go behind and use a topical weedkiller
Welcome back pansyface
What on earth is happening here? I've read pansyface's recent posts about how she is struggling to read threads now the forum looks like this. She's got a valid point, it is a lot harder on the eyes. There's nothing disruptive or offensive in there that I can see. I don't understand this at all.
It's all very disappointing, after years of no moderation here, a long term member gets blocked for what, I'm not sure?
Take care of yourself pansyface, wishing you well
Hi Cloggie, glad to have been of help. I think the brown checked colour scheme is due for a bit of a revivial. There's a 3 seat G plan sofa under the purple cloth too
Best sofa pp, I'll take a pic of the other one once we've got in there
Just re read my last sentance, someone might get a bit of surprise if they opened it, or is that just me?
I'm intrigued by the bunk beds as well and will have to give Cloggies scarecrow a longer look

Edgewood College Joins Launch of $1 Billion 'Green Challenge'
Madison, Wis. (October 11, 2011) - Edgewood College joined with 32 other leading institutions on Monday to launch the Billion Dollar Green Challenge. The goal is to invest a cumulative total of one billion dollars in self-managed green revolving funds that finance energy efficiency upgrades on campus.
As part of the Founding Circle, Edgewood College has the distinction of being one of only two institutions in Wisconsin to take the lead in making this commitment. The Challenge is inspired by the exceptional performance of existing green revolving funds, which have a median annual return on investment of 32%, as documented by Greening The Bottom Line, a report published by the Sustainable Endowments Institute. Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin, is also a part of the Founding Circle.
A bright spot in a rocky economy, these profitable investments are helping create green jobs in campus communities, while lowering operating costs on college and university campuses.
"We're transforming energy efficiency upgrades from perceived expenses to high-return investment opportunities," said Mark Orlowski, executive director of the Sustainable Endowments Institute, which is coordinating The Challenge along with 13 partner organizations. "Edgewood College should be commended for rising to The Challenge and investing in energy efficiency improvements on campus."
The Billion Dollar Green Challenge launches publicly on October 11 at the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education conference in Pittsburgh. With more than 2,500 participants, the conference is the largest gathering to date on higher education sustainability.
"The Billion Dollar Green Challenge asks our higher education systems to invest in green revolving funds to support the campus sustainability movement. AASHE supports the Challenge in that these funds will help institutions become more sustainable and will help the higher education community understand the commitment they are making to a just and sustainable future" said Paul Rowland, Executive Director, of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
In advance of the launch, 33 institutions, including Edgewood College, have already joined The Challenge's Founding Circle by committing to invest a cumulative total of more than $65 million in green revolving funds. In addition to Harvard and Stanford, other Founding Circle institutions include Caltech, Dartmouth, George Washington, Middlebury, the University of British Columbia, and Weber State University.
The Billion Dollar Green Challenge has received financial support from the David Rockefeller Fund, HOK, John Merck Fund, Kresge Foundation, Merck Family Fund, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Roy A. Hunt Foundation, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership, and the Wallace Global Fund.
Please visit www.GreenBillion.org for more information.
