Mario Andretti interview - Circuit of the Americas
This is an interview shot in October at the Circuit of the Americas first lap ceremony. I had forgotten I even had this footage, it was Playboy Playmate, Pilar Lastra doing an interview with Mario Andretti just before riding in the 3-seat F1 car with him. Sorry the audio isn't great, there were racecars going by, a generator running in the background and Mario is very soft spoken. For more of Pilar, check out http://www.playboy.com/playground/tag/pilar-lastra https://twitter.com/RealPilarLastra We would like to especially thank Pirelli for the chance to be part of this event. us.pirelli.com www.facebook.com/PirelliNorthAmerica http://www.performancedrivingnetwork.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/Performance-Driving-Network/483647874985831

PA DEP Applauds Pennsylvania Dental Association's Update to Waste Management Guidelines
Information Will Help Dentists and Their Staff Understand and Comply With
State Regulations
Dec 18, 2003, 00:00 ET from Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection
HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and Pennsylvania Dental Association (PDA) have updated the PDA's Waste Management Guidelines to give dentists and their staff the information they need to recycle or safely dispose of commonly used dental materials such as mercury and lead, and hazardous materials such as infectious waste. "Regulations for the handling of many of these waste materials can be very complicated," said Nicholas A. DiPasquale, DEP Deputy Secretary of Air, Recycling and Radiation Protection. "Finding information on how and where to process and dispose of small amounts can be difficult. The manual provides this information in a concise, easy-to-understand format, and promotes responsible waste reduction procedures." "DEP and PDA have been working for years to educate Pennsylvania dentists about the proper handling and disposal of wastes generated during office procedures," said PDA President Stephen J. Jaworski, DMD. "PDA recommends reduction and recycling of wastes whenever possible, and these issues are addressed in the Waste Management Guidelines manual." The manual originally was published in 2001 with assistance from corporate partners Safety-Kleen and Kodak. The manual lists hazardous chemicals commonly found in dental offices, recommendations for proper processing and disposal and contact information for waste handlers who will accept mercury, silver, lead and infectious and hazardous wastes. The updated manual includes a "Quick Reference" card with the latest contact information and processing requirements for approved waste handlers that recycle or dispose of these materials. The new manual will be sent to all licensed dentists in Pennsylvania. For more information on PDA, visit its Web site at www.padental.org. For more information on waste management, visit DEP's Web site at www.dep.state.pa.us, Keyword: "Waste Management." CONTACT: Tom Rathbun, PA DEP, +1-717-787-1323; or Stephanie Glecos, PDA, +1-717-234-5941, ext. 133.

Exploring the TiddlyWiki personal wiki
TiddlyWiki brings the spirit of the new Internet to a tiny scale. We'll show you how to get organized with this wiki for one.
Sometimes you come across a piece of software that is so simple and useful that you can't understand how you managed without it. TiddlyWiki is one such application. On the face of it, TiddlyWiki looks and behaves like a conventional wiki, but if you dig deeper, you will discover that it is a rather ingenious application. One of the most powerful things about wikis is that they let you create and edit web pages on the fly. Most Wikis start with a single page; you can add new pages using what are called wiki words (often wiki words are written in camel case like this: WikiWord). When you add a wiki word to the text, the wiki turns it into a link, and once you click the link, the system creates a new page. The beauty of a wiki is that it frees you from the most tedious task: managing your website's structure. Moreover, since most wikis use a simple markup language, they are perfectly suited for casual users with no knowledge of HTML.

Cambridge Companion to Emily Dickinson by Wendy Martin
Book DescriptionEmily Dickinson, one of the most important American poets of the nineteenth century, remains an intriguing and fascinating writer. The Cambridge Companion to Emily Dickinson includes eleven new essays by accomplished Dickinson scholars. They cover Dickinson's biography, publication history, poetic themes and strategies, and her historical and cultural contexts. As a woman poet, Dickinson's literary persona has become incredibly resonant in the popular imagination. She has been portrayed as singular, enigmatic, and even eccentric. At the same time, Dickinson is widely acknowledged as one of the founders of American poetry, an innovative pre-modernist poet as well as a rebellious and courageous woman. This volume introduces new and practised readers to a variety of critical responses to Dickinson's poetry and life, and provides several valuable tools for students, including a chronology and suggestions for further reading.

You never quite know what Wayne Gerdes has up his sleeve. The man who coined the term hypermiling is always looking for adventurous ways to prove that anyone – even you... yes, you – can eke out more miles per gallon just by changing the way you drive. Saying that is easy. Proving it by going on outlandish cross-country drives is hard. But for Gerdes and his team of fuel economy fiends over at CleanMPG, hard is half the fun.

Sobre nosotros
The Juilliard School established this country's standard for education in the performing arts, beginning with music in 1905. In 1951, its Dance Division was established, with combined training in contemporary and ballet technique. Juilliard became part of Lincoln Center in 1968, and added a four-year drama program. A residence hall - the School's first - was completed in 1990, and in 2001, Juilliard broke new ground with the addition of its jazz program; a graduate program in Historical Performance began in fall 2009, the same year that Juilliard inaugurated its partnership with the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. The School continues to educate thousands of aspiring artists and expand its mission to instill a strong sense of activism, outreach, and arts advocacy in its students. Currently more than 800 young artists from 44 states (plus Washington, D.C.) and 46 foreign countries attend Juilliard.
Juilliard has approximately 800 students in its three divisions.

"Maria Dueñas is a true storyteller. She weaves a spell, conjuring the heat and the glamour, the hardship and the thrill of Morocco and Spain in the late 1930s. The world of Casablanca comes to life as war breaks and Sira Quiroga, a beautiful and betrayed seamstress, is forced to discover her own strength. At a time when everyone must do what they can to survive, some will go beyond. Resistance will be formed and history will be written. Read this book and prepare to be transported." –Kate Morton, New York Times bestselling author of The Distant Hours
"Engaging, romantic, vivid and captivating. Who knew a story about a seamstress in Spain could be so intriguing and captivating? If you love thick, juicy female-led novels that sweep you away from all sense of time and responsibility, you need to read The Time In Between by María Dueñas." - Kathy Cano-Murillo, author of Waking Up in the Land of Glitter and Miss Scarlet's School of Patternless Sewing
"Evocative, tender and lush; a wonderful experience of times and lives in turmoil." Diana Gabaldon, author of the New York Times bestselling Outlander novels
"This thrilling debut is marked by immaculate prose and a driving narrative, establishing Dueñas as a writer to watch." starred Publishers Weekly review
"Packed with engaging characters, flawlessly researched, and breathlessly paced." starred Booklist review
"It is no surprise this debut novel was a runaway success in Europe. American fans of historical fiction looking for a dramatic, uncomplicated escape will be similarly entranced." Library Journal
"From a terrific opening line to the final page, chapters zip by at a pulsing pace." USA TODAY
"The Time in Between is a magnificent novel that flawlessly brings together history and intrigue. Sira Quiroga – the seamtress – won't be easily forgotten." Juan Gómez-Jurado, author of The Moses Expedition
"How can a novel be both cruel and tender, dark and luminous all at the same time, and keep the reader glued to its pages with a complex, captivating narrative? María Dueñas's novel manages to make this possible with a tale that is destined to become a literary classic." Javier Sierra, bestselling author of The Secret Supper and The Lady in Blue
"An enticing debut novel from Spain, The Time In Between is luxuriously landscaped with exotic geographies and international intrigue. María Dueñas delivers a hefty book that's as smooth to read as the tailored lines of the haute couture her unforgettable protagonist creates." Fabiola Santiago, author of Reclaiming Paris.
"With its detailed depictions of fashions and the fashionable crowd, exotic settings like Portuguese beaches and crowded bars in Tangiers, and a growing sense of danger and intrigue, The Time In Between is a stunning novel." Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Can anyone shed anymore light on these PRL Italy made pants. Never seen this tag before, really cool details, in a black flannel wool.
Discontinued Polo line errr, precursor PRL made by Corn. and to the standards of the now PRL. The tag looks a lot like St. Andrews' but ti's not. Ohhhh wait, I guess it doesn't...Oppies!Quote:Originally Posted by JackFlash
Start with a suede eraser if you have any bad stains (e.g., dirt); you can find these anywhere. Then I use the Saphir suede cleaner, which is basically a shampoo. Let dry and the brush with a suede brush. Then treat with Saphir Renovateur suede spray, Saphir Super Invulner waterproofing spray, or just plain Terrago suede protector.
Bottom line you need a suede eraser, which you can pick up anywhere. I'm not familiar with the range of suede shampoos, but I've had good luck with Saphir. Then all you really need is Terrago, which you can find all over, to waterproof and protect against stains.
I have a pair of Peal suede chukka boots (crazy sale on them at the moment; warning, run narrow) with a Dainite sole and it's been my go to wet weather shoe. Combination of the rubber sole and the Terrago makes it perfect when there is rain out. (No, I'm not standing or running through puddles.)Quote:Originally Posted by SCoNE

Yeah, but I think Caruso only made for RLBL for suits and SCs while St. Andrews made strictly for RLPL which Cantarelli is the parent company of.

That jacket looks kool! But I don't know how I feel about a denim blazer...It's kinda too 70's, ya? Capital E line is pretty awesome! I think it's from the mid 2000's and since have been discontinued. I prefer them to LVC's actually. I've read some where it's a single needle construction with tons of handy work.

I found a pleated front tie from Brioni a few years ago. Definitely the nicest and coolest Brioni tie I've found to date. They also bring in a considerable amount of money, resale-wise. I think mine sold for north of $100. Pretty good for a used tie! I think someone else found a pleated Ricci on here before as well.
Too lazy to go look for pictures but I pulled a pleated Ricci a few months ago, best tie I've sold to date, IIRC it was about $85post #89906 of 13872812/31/13 at 6:18am

Quick Ornithlological fact of the day...... geese and ducks spend a lot of time on the water.
Anyway, normally wash cold and then dry with a tennis ball in the mix. (Though I had a vest once that said to "Dry with a tennis shoe". We assumed it was a typo. I'll see if I can find that pic.)Return HomeBack to Forum: Classic Menswear

Skip to comments.Surprises in sea anemone genome (More Vindication for Intelligent Design/Creation Science)
Posted on 07/06/2007 11:20:54 AM PDT by GodGunsGuts
click here to read article
==Finding fossils sorted in the strata according to density rather than in a pattern that supports descent with modification. That would be good evidence against evolution.
I'll do you one better. How about a fossile record that:
The history of most fossil species include two features particularly inconsistent with gradualism:
1) Stasis - most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth. They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as when they disappear; morphological change is usually limited and directionless;
2) Sudden appearance - in any local area, a species does not arise gradually by the steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears all at once and 'fully formed'.
Gould, S.J. (1977)
"Evolution's Erratic Pace"
Natural History, vol. 86, May
Faced with these facts of evolution and the philosophical bankruptcy of their own position, creationists rely upon distortion and innuendo to buttress their rhetorical claim. If I sound sharp or bitter, indeed I am -- for I have become a major target of these practices.
I count myself among the evolutionists who argue for a jerky, or episodic, rather than a smoothly gradual, pace of change. In 1972 my colleague Niles Eldredge and I developed the theory of punctuated equilibrium. We argued that two outstanding facts of the fossil record -- geologically "sudden" origin of new species and failure to change thereafter (stasis) -- reflect the predictions of evolutionary theory, not the imperfections of the fossil record. In most theories, small isolated populations are the source of new species, and the process of speciation takes thousands or tens of thousands of years. This amount of time, so long when measured against our lives, is a geological microsecond . . .
I'm willing to be convinced. Please show me how this statement is a prediction of ID. IOW, please reply with the logical argument from the axioms of ID whose conclusion is that statement and also show that its negation is inconsistent with the theory.
Good luck getting to 1000 posts!
You might want to start by reading the OP. Here are some links for further commentary:
From the ID perspective:
And now for my favorite, from a Creation Science perspective:
Unlike some evolution critics, Gould was not a liar. He did not pull quotations out of context, attempting to make them say the opposite of what they intend.
From the article linked by Dembski:
"What's exciting about this paper is that you're seeing the footprints of that ancient organization, reaching back perhaps 700 million years, which is an enormous expanse of evolution," said David Haussler of the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved in the work.
When Dembski talks about "front-loading" is he unaware that 700 million years is just one-fifth of the history of life? He is a mathematician, isn't he?
By the way, what happened to the Cambrian "explosion"? I thought the designer zapped all this complexity into the Genome one day 500 million years ago. What is it doing showing up 200 million years prior?
And what is a creationist doing admitting to 700 million years of evolution, anyway? Do the troops in the trenches know about this?
I don't see it. Why would a Creator make His creatures so they eat each other? Even supposing that were true, it doesn't follow they need be made of common elements, at least as I understand the term.
There you go again.
If you hadn't intended to misrepresent what Gould intended, you would have presented his thesis intact. Instead you pulled a snippet that makes no sense out of context.
You have absolutely nothing to say about his actual position. If you did, you would respond to it.
... as a complete theory of the origin of the species (just helping, you left that part out.)
In which of those (and where in it) can I read the argument?
Don't you get it, even on your own/darwinist terms, the time allowed for a genome to evolve into something nearly as complex as the human genome" has just shrunk by one-fifth! The probability of that happening by chance within such a limited time period = ZERO.
This discovery means that, even on evolutionary terms, the time allowed for a genome to "evolve" into something "nearly as complex" as the humane genome has just shrunk by one-fifth! The probability of that happening is nil. I suggest you read the following, and then go back and re-read the OP:
You remind me of a number of banned evos who posted here and continually called people who disagreed with them liars.
I am truly interested. I think there's an obvious argument why the statement cannot be derived from any reasonable ID theory and I'd therefore like to see why you think otherwise. So please, instead of pointing me to pages that don't bear on the question, just post the argument in your own words.
PS, I don't know what the "OP" is.
PPS, that ICR article you linked is riddled with typical creationist sophistry. I hope you don't actually find it persuasive.
But, you still don't answer the question.
"Finding fossils sorted in the strata according to density rather than in a pattern that supports descent with modification. That would be good evidence against evolution."
Actually, you are only half right.
Any evidence which shows other than a pattern of descent with modification in the fossil record would serve to falsify. Fossils wouldn't necessarily have to be sorted by density, it would just have to be any fossil data which show other than a pattern of many unsuccessful mutations and a few successful mutations over a relatively long period of time. That's why the discussion of the Cambrian "explosion" (yes, I know many don't like to call it that, but that's the simplest way to refer to it) is relevant to falsification of the TOE.
How do you measure complexity?
I know of no mathematical characteristic of the human genome that makes it significantly more complex than that of an amoeba. Genes are just parameters. Humans don't have significantly more parameters than other living things. Evolution just tweaks parameters a one or two at a time. In engineering, this is called Muntzing.
A Cambrian mammal would cause a major upheaval in biology, but the Cambrian "explosion" is looking more and more like a dud. This is an era with few hard parts to be preserved by ordinary fossilization, so the things we find seem to appear suddenly. This picture is changing with DNA analysis.
This is a management decision by FR. It does not change the fact that quote mining and misquotation are lying, nor does it change the fact that creationists like Ken Ham destroy children's' minds with their lies.
I was merely quoting a Science Daily article on the sea anemone genome. This just goes to shoe that the genome was already as complex as modern day humans even BEFORE the Cambrian explosion. This, of course, comes as no surprise to the Creation Scientist, as he is already well aware that all living things were created with their current complexity built-in (fully formed and fully functional). Here is the Science Daily quote in full:
"The first analysis of the genome of the sea anemone shows it to be nearly as complex as the human genome, providing major insights into the common ancestor of not only humans and sea anemones, but of nearly all multi-celled animals."
I have no problem with that, to an order of magnitude or so. This has been known for some time. Evolution is mostly bit changes to parameters.
The period since the Cambrian is one-seventh of the history of life. Virtually everything prior has been erased. Why should it be surprising that more happened in three billion years than in 500 million?
Putting my question another way: suppose you gave a test of general knowledge to people aged 60 and again at age 70.
Suppose you discovered that most of what people know at age 70, they already knew at age 60.
Would you call that "front-loading"?
Then, as Darwin predicted, there should be innumerable transitional species...billions and billions of them...and yet there are none. The evidence overwhelmingly points towards Creation, and against Darwinian evolution. Or as Arthur Strahler (evolutionist in good standing) admits:
"...(the creationist) finds all the confession he needs from the evolutionists that each of these classes appears suddenly and with no trace of ancestors. The absence of the transitional fossils in the gaps between each group of fishes and its ancestor is repeated in standard treatises on vertebrate evolution...This is one count in the creationists' charge that can only evoke in unison from the paleontologists a plea of nolo contendre."
Strahler, Arthur N. 1987. "Science and Earth History: The evolution/creation controversy", Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Books. p. 408
Give me a good reason, based on the physics and chemistry of fossilization, why every part of every individual should be preserved.
Do you think, for example, that there are naturally preserved specimens of every stage in the evolution from wolf to teacup poodle? This has happened within the time of recorded history, and the morphological changes are greater than any gap in the fossil record.
Morphological change requires that a few individuals get cut off from the parent population. Changes equivalent to the changes in dogs can occur in a thousand years or less. There is little chance for this transition to be recorded.
Now for those Young Earthers out there lurking, creationists like Ham assert that current species are descended from a few hundred "types" over the last few thousand years — a rate of evolution that vastly exceeds anything claimed by biologists. If the divergence from generic cat to all the existing cat species occurred in a few thousand years, where are the transitionals?
Who said we require "every part of every individual" should be preserved? Of the billions upon billions of fossils, even if a small percentage were could be proved to be transitional fossils, that would be fine. Instead, we find none, zero, nada, zilch....Or in the words of one of Darwin's high priests:
the Cambrian strata of rocks, vintage about 600 million years [evolutionists are now dating the beginning of the Cambrian at about 530 million years], are the oldest in which we find most of the major invertebrate groups. And we find many of them already in an advanced state of evolution, the very first time they appear. It is as though they were just planted there, without any evolutionary history. Needless to say, this appearance of sudden planting has delighted creationists.
Dawkins, Richard, The Blind Watchmaker (New York: W. W. Norton, 1987). p. 229
Take his assumed timescale, and I couldn't agree with him more!—GGG
I suggest YOU go back and READ THE ARTICLE AGAIN. That's exactly what the article is talking about. They changed the diet of the agouti mice which produced a mutation that was inherited by their offspring. Thus, by your own criteria, Neo-Darwinism is falsified.
==DNA and Mendialian genetics were unknown when this (Lamarckian) theory was popular, so it seemed reasonable
They were also unknown during Darwin's time. The researchers studying DIRECTED MUTATION have just as much right to these discoveries as the researches who study random mutation.
Quote mining is not a substitute for thinking. Anyone who quotes Dawkins or Darwin or Gould to make it look like they are arguing against evolution is just admitting they haven't got enough attention span to follow an argument.
The biggest problem with citing missing transitionals as a problem for evolution is that they are an even bigger problem for creationism.
Ken Ham, the leading spokesman for creationism at the moment, says everything from the Family level on down to the Species level evolved in just a few thousand years. Where are Ken Ham's transitionals?
I quote mine because every time I present the findings of Creationists/IDers your side disqualifies them as being religion masquerading as science. Additionally, if our side is correct (and it is) nature will force the evolutionists to prove our point for us (which it does).
==Ken Ham, the leading spokesman for creationism at the moment, says everything from the Family level on down to the Species level evolved in just a few thousand years. Where are Ken Hams transitionals?
If DIRECTED MUTATION is in fact true, you won't find the extremely fine gradations in the fossil record that Darwinism predicts.
If angels push the planet along we have no use for laws of gravity. If everything was created by the great invisible pink unicorn, we have no use for science at all.
I hate to break it to you, science is still science, even when Directed Mutation contradicts Darwinist religion:
The genome is smart. It can respond to selective conditions. The significance of the Cairns paper is not in the presentation of new data but in the framing of the questions and in changing the psychology of the situation. He has taken the question Are mutations directed? which was taboo, and made it an issue that people will now do experiments on.
(Moffat, Anne Simon; A Challenge to Evolutionary Biology, American Scientist, 77:224, 1989.)
==I asked for an animal whose offspring differed from it in a way unattributable to genetic variance.
The offspring did differ from the parent in a way unattributable to genetic variance. As you said yourself, the underlying gene sequence of the agouti mice remained the same, and yet the change in their diet/environment produced changes to the phenotype that were non-random and heritable. And as for whether or not epigenetics is Lamarckian, one of the researchers (Douglas Ruden from the Univ. of Alabama) quoted in The Scientist article says just that: "Epigenetics has always been Lamarckian. I really don't think there's any controversy." If this is all true, the neo-Darwinian synthesis is falsified.
Then you will no doubt provide an example of this happening.

A few thoughts to consider with word that rookie offensive tackle Nate Solder has been added to the injury report (questionable, concussion):
1. Solder was used as a second/third tight end on 23 snaps last week. He also was the swing tackle, the first option if there was an injury to left tackle Matt Light or right tackle Sebastian Vollmer. If he doesn't play Sunday night, one possibility is for the Patriots to promote rookie tackle/guard Marcus Cannon off the reserve/non-football injury list. That would require a roster move to create a spot for Cannon [Update 5:30 p.m. ET: The Patriots didn't make a roster move on this Saturday, meaning they won't go this route for Sunday's game.]
2. With top reserve center/guard Ryan Wendell also on the injury report (questionable, concussion), the line looks a bit vulnerable from a health perspective. It strengthens the possibility that Donald Thomas, a healthy scratch the last two weeks, could be active Sunday. Thomas would add depth on the interior and also provide insurance if someone like left guard Logan Mankins had to kick outside to tackle in an emergency.
3. If the Patriots had big plans to use Solder as a third tight end, perhaps they consider someone like Thomas in that role, or re-signing pure tight end Dan Gronkowski. A re-signing would require a roster move elsewhere and might not be something the Patriots have the luxury to do. [Update 5:30 p.m. ET: The Patriots didn't make a roster move here Saturday, meaning they won't go this route for the game.]
4. Another possibility is a promotion off the practice squad, where the Patriots have offensive tackle Matt Kopa and interior lineman Nick McDonald. Also, former practice squad tackle Thomas Welch could be a consideration to re-join the team, as he played the role of extra tight end in Oakland on Oct. 2. Welch was waived this week. [Update: The Patriots won't go this route, as they didn't promote anyone Saturday, the final deadline to do so for Sunday's game.]

|NBA Power Rankings, 2/3
|02.03.11 at 6:14 pm ET
The Celtics haven't claimed the top spot in our NBA Power Rankings since Jan. 6, but as Paul Flannery wrote following the C's 109-96 victory against the Lakers on Sunday, "The Celtics' performance proved that as of this moment they are the team to beat in the NBA. On their best day, and this may have been it, no one can even come close to matching them."
There are four other legitimate contenders for the 2011 NBA title — the Spurs, Bulls, Heat and Lakers — and the Celtics have beaten all of them, recording six wins in seven games against those teams. That's kinda good.
The C's have now defeated 23 of the 29 other teams in the league. The only two teams they haven't faced yet are the Clippers and Warriors. They've lost their only games against the Mavericks, Suns, Rockets and Hornets so far, but they get their respective shots at revenge on Friday, March 2, March 18 and March 19.
In short, pretty much everybody has praised the Celtics as one of, if not THE best in the league. Kevin Garnett might be one of the most disliked opponents in the league, but the C's are getting their share of respect. That's why we've decided to highlight the best quotes about the Celtics from opposing coaches and players in this week's edition of the Power Rankings. Without further ado, here goes …
1. Boston (37-11): I don't care that the Celtics have lost to the Wizards, Pistons, Raptors and Cavaliers. I don't care that they scored only 71 points against the Suns. Four of those losses occurred on the road after playing the previous night, and the other came at 1 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon. When the Celtics are motivated, they've been almost unbeatable. Just ask the Spurs, Lakers and Heat.
2. San Antonio (40-8): Spurs coach Gregg Popovich after losing to the Celtics on Jan. 5, 105-103: "It's just frustrating that we're a definite, significant notch below the big boys — of course, Boston being one of the big boys — come playoff time if this continues. You know, Boston is third in field-goal percentage 'D,' and first in defensive rebounding. Those are the kind of stats we used to have defensively to do what you need to do to be the last team standing." (via Sporting News)
3. Chicago (34-14): Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau after losing to the Celtics in overtime on Nov. 5, 110-105: "They've got a lot of weapons, they're experienced, they know how to work the game and they're hard to guard. I think the thing that often gets overlooked with them is not only their individual greatness but their collective greatness and willingness to share with each other. '¦ It puts enormous pressure on your defense. Your defense can't get set, and that's something we're striving for."
4. Miami (34-14): Heat forward LeBron James on Wednesday: "We're way behind [the Celtics]. Just look at the number of games played, the number of playoff series those guys have had. We're only a few months in together — 40-something-plus games. I've seen the statistics. Boston has like 250-plus games played together. We're way behind those teams." (via ESPN.com)
5. LA Lakers (34-15): Lakers coach Phil Jackson: "I personally don't think [the Heat] can get by Boston. I think Boston is too good a team. I think a team is still going to win." (via ESPN.com)
WALTHAM — Delonte West took another significant step in his attempt to return from a broken right wrist when he went through a full shootaround and skeleton practice with the Celtics on Thursday at their practice facility.
"He didn't practice," coach Doc Rivers said. "He just did the shootaround and the shooting and that's about it."
But Rivers acknowledged it was significant that West could take part in catch-and-shooting drills without any protection whatsoever on his wrist, broken on Nov. 24 in home game vs. New Jersey.
"That's nice. He did run through all of our skeleton stuff so obviously, the next step will be him going through a practice," said Rivers before adding that there is still no specific timetable for West to return to game action. "I have no idea. No time soon I don't think but I'm not sure."
|Doc Rivers makes his case for 4 Celtics as All-Stars
|at 4:04 pm ET
WALTHAM — After getting snubbed by the fans and being left without a single All-Star starter, the Celtics could get their retribution when All-Star reserves are announced Thursday night.
The Celtics have four viable candidates in Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. By virtue of having the top record in the Eastern Conference, Doc Rivers will have the honor of coaching the East All-Stars on Feb. 20 in Los Angeles.
"I think I should get four guys on the roster," Rivers said following practice Thursday. "If I don't, I'd be very disappointed and if I do, I'll just play them all together. That way we can run offense in the All-Star Game. That'd be a first."
The Detroit Pistons had four All-Stars on the Eastern squad in 2006 but it is very rare for one team – no matter how good their record – to place four players on a team.
"If it happens, and let's hope it happens, then my choice will be who will be the fifth, Some interesting combinations you can throw out," said Rivers, before adding who he might throw out onto the court with his four players.
"Whoever is closest to free agency just so they can see how it would feel. I think it should happen. It's clear. It'd be nice. You look at the four guys, all of them have really sacrificed their individual numbers for team wins and sometimes that's held against them and I hope it's not in this case."
|Irish Coffee: Shaquille O'Neal talks Hoopz
|at 12:31 pm ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
During the filming of "Flavor of Love" on VH1, Nikki "Hoopz" Alexander dominated Flavor Flav in a game of one-on-one. Then she owned some dude named "Entertainer" with a flurry of profanities on "I Love Money" — another VH1 reality show.
But she'd probably have a tougher time defeating her current boyfriend, Shaquille O'Neal.
Sudbury's most famous couple went two-on-one in an interview with The Globe's Meredith Goldstein for a Home & Lifestyle section cover story. Here's what we learned:
- Hoopz, 28, on Shaq, 38: 'I knew he was a goofball. We're the same. We're both goofballs.''
- Shaq is 7-foot-1; Hoopz is 5-foot-2. A full Nelson de la Rosa separates them.
- Hoopz is filming another reality show, based on their suburban life and her desire to become a women's heath and self-defense guru. Like I won't watch that.
- Shaq has a pit bull named Shamrock. Do you think the dog has a Kobe Bryant chew toy?
- Ther's a room in Shaq's house that features Taylor Swift and "Alice in Wonderland" posters on the wall and candy canisters everwhere. Oh, and there's a pink bathroom, too. Thankfully, that room is Hoopz's. Shaq calls it the "dungeon."
- Hoopz won "Flavor of Love" Season 1, capturing Flavor Flav's "on-camera affection" and the ultimate prize: a set of gold teeth. I think I just found my Valentine's Day gift.
- Hoopz then took home $250,000 for winning 'I Love Money,'' a crazy reality show spinoff about the craziest VH1 reality show castoffs that could only happen in America.
- Hoopz once followed another basketball player, James "Boo" Jackson, to Tennessee. A gym gypsy of sorts, Jackson left town for another team. Hoopz stayed behind.
- Hoopz and Shaq's first date was in Las Vegas. Luckily, it didn't end up at The Best Little Chapel — a la Stu and Jade in "The Hangover."
- The next few dates between Hoopz took Shaq included fishing, visiting a Waffle House and listening to music by Brad Paisley and Taylor Swift. You know, typical Shaq things.
- Shaq on Hoopz: 'She's my first female best friend, besides my mother.''
- Shaq has a live-in chef. Unfortunately, it's not Chef from "South Park."
- Hoopz and Shaq watch "Spartacus" on Starz together. Loin cloths optional.
- Hoopz attends every Celtics home game. Shaq attends most, too.
|Irish Coffee: Time to start Kendrick Perkins
|02.02.11 at 12:57 pm ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
It's time for Kendrick Perkins to start.
Despite Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge's claim on WEEI's Big Show last week that he doesn't think it matters who starts between Shaquille O'Neal and Perkins, the man who hasn't lost a playoff series starting alongside Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo has proven within five games that he deserves his spot back.
In Perkins' first three games since returning from ACL surgery this past offseason, the Celtics were better off with either O'Neal or Semih Erden starting the first and third quarters. The numbers back it up. The C's outscored their opponents by a total of three points to start each half before Perkins entered the game against the Cavaliers, Blazers and Suns. They were subsequently outscored by a total of 11 points with Perkins on the floor in those three games.
However, in the last two games — victories over the Lakers and Kings — the C's have outscored their opponents by 22 from the moment Perkins entered the game in the first and third quarters to the time somebody substituted for him. That's nine points better than they were in those two contests with O'Neal on the floor to start each half.
In his first five games this season, Perkins' minutes have steadily risen to the mid-20s, culminating in a near double-double against the Kings. His performance Tuesday night marked the first game he vastly outperformed the C's starting center.
Take a look at Perkins' progression upon entering each half since his return compared to the Celtics' starting center that night (each player's plus/minus statistics are in parentheses):
|Irish Coffee: Avery Bradley's stock rising
|02.01.11 at 11:34 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
Avery Bradley's move to Maine has been the best thing for both him and the Celtics.
The C's first-round selection in the 2010 NBA draft, Bradley took his talents to Portland when the team sent him to the NBA Development League, and he's beginning to prove himself as one of the (minor) league's best.
The 20-year-old is flourishing in the NBADL, gaining valuable experience. But the value of his performance might be even greater for the Celtics. Because there's no urgency to force a young kid into the rotation, the C's — if necessary — can either call on a kid who two years ago was ranked higher than John Wall as a high school player or shop him with all the leverage in a trade discussion.
Either way, it's a win-win — another great pick by president of basketball operations Danny Ainge. Bradley is a valuable member of this Celtics team, even if he's not playing for them. Look at his averages while playing just 30 minutes a night in seven games (4 starts) for the Maine Red Claws:
- Points: 15.3
- Assists: 5.0
- Rebounds: 3.9
- Steals: 0.4
- Blocks: 0.4
- Turnovers: 4.3
- FG percentage: 39.8
- 3-point FG percentage: 36.4
- FT percentage: 83.3
Sure, his turnovers and field-goal percentage could use some improvement, but his offensive production has been better than expected, considering his defensive ability has always been his greatest strength. Here's how ESPNU described his game when they ranked him as the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2009:
|Irish Coffee: Interpreting Celtics vs. Lakers
|01.31.11 at 1:07 pm ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
Considering all the stars on and off the court — for both teams — at Sunday's game between the Celtics and Lakers, you would've thought there'd have been some great Twitter messages in the aftermath of the C's 109-96 victory at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. There wasn't, so I made them up anyway. Here's my interpretation of what the players and celebrity fans should've Tweeted throughout the finals rematch:
- Matt Damon: "The Celtics are showing 'True Grit'. The Lakers are playing like True …"
- Jimmy Kimmel: "I'm feeling Matt Damon."
- Ron Artest: "Is this my second season with the Lakers? Time to check out."
- Phil Jackson: "I'm going to kill Ron Art– (deep breath) Serenity now!!!"
- Kobe Bryant: "The ring I bought my wife and Artest's contract cost the same. And I'm sorry for both."
- Robert Rodriguez: "Black Mamba seems like a strange nickname for a guy who was once arrested for sexual assault, but let's go with it Kobe!"
- Derek Fisher: "A cheerleader blew me a kiss, and I thought I got shot. I flopped like 10 feet backwards!"
- Zac Efron: "Who's worse at acting: Me or Fisher?"
- Paul Pierce: "The only way I could've made this win better is to get the wheelchair involved."
- Adam Sandler: "KG told a ballboy he had a better chance of catching Bin Laden than getting an autograph? Was it Bobby Boucher? 'Stop making fun of me!'"
- Kevin Garnett: "It wasn't a good week for me and things that hold balls. Just ask Channing Frye."
- George Lopez: "Wait, why aren't I rooting for the Nuggets? They have Eduardo Najera!"
- Glen Davis: "Coach told me to treat Odom and Andrew Bynum like a bowl of gumbo. Eat 'em up. Ayo!"
- Lamar Odom: "I'm not sure whose badonkadonk is bigger: Big Baby's or Khloe Kardashian's."
- John Lackey: "Who's better looking: Me or Semih Erden?"
- Brooklyn Decker: "I love basketball. How many touchdowns does Kobe have? Oh, and who's better looking: Me or John Lackey's wife?"
- Joey Crawford: "Wait, Kendrick Perkins is back? (whistle) Technical foul, No. 43."

Caye Caulker was a fishing village before it was a visitor destination. From Caulker you can fly-fish for bonefish or permit in the grass flats behind the island, troll for barracuda or grouper inside the reef, or charter a boat to take you to blue water outside the reef for deep-sea fishing. Ambergris Caye offers more options for chartering boats for deep-sea fishing than Caye Caulker. For a guide and boat for flats and reef fishing, you'll pay around BZ$600–BZ$700 a day for one or two people. If you're a do-it-yourself type, you can fish off the piers or in the flats. Anglers Abroad has a small fly-fishing and tackle shop where you can rent fishing gear, if you didn't bring your own. Blue marlin weighing more than 400 pounds have been caught beyond the reef off Caye Caulker, along with big sailfish, pompano, and kingfish. If you can find a charter on Caulker for blue-water deep-sea fishing, you'll pay BZ$1,000–BZ$1,200 and up for a full day's fishing for up to four people. Remember, you now need a fishing license to fish in Belize waters, except from shore or piers. Your guide or hotel can help you get a license.
Anglers Abroad. Haywood Curry, a transplanted Texan, and his crew run all types of fishing trips, starting with half-day trips at around BZ$500 for two persons and, "for the adventurous" two- or three-day camping and fishing expeditions, with camping on a remote caye. Anglers Abroad, associated with Seadreams Hotel, also has a fly-fishing and tackle shop. At Seadreams Hotel near the Split, Hattie St., Caye Caulker, Belize. 226/0303. www.anglersabroad.com.
Porfelio "Piggy" Guzman. Porfelio "Piggy" Guzman is one of the best-known fishing guides on the island, and he may charge a little more than others. Calle Almendro, Caye Caulker, Belize. 226/0152.
Tsunami Adventures. Tsunami Adventures offers reef and flats fishing trips starting at BZ$500 for a half day for two persons, including boat and guide, or BZ$700 for a full day, both inclusive of tax. Your guide will be a local fisherman, Rolly Rosado. Front St., Caye Caulker, Belize. 226/0462. www.tsunamiadventures.com.

"Just Like You" was written by inventor and entrepreneur Robert Kroupa, who said he was inspired to pen the tale by the daughter of a friend. "She was 4 years old and she had a family that had several disabilities and she looked beyond their disabilities and she treated them like everybody else and I thought it is important to teach kids from an early age to accept people for their differences," he said.

Dog News: Greyhounds Need Homes
With greyhound racing on the decline nationwide, more and more greyhounds (and hound-mix breeds) are in need of homes. The Massachusetts-based organization, Greyhound Friends, is helping out by placing hundreds of dogs into loving homes every year.
Currently greyhound racing is only permitted in seven states, including Florida, Texas, Alabama and Arkansas. Racing requires an astounding number of dogs: eight greyhounds must run in each race, and a track may hold up to 20 races daily. With a glut of greyhounds in southern states but few adoption prospects, many dogs are shipped north and to the Midwest. The process is difficult and expensive, and the dogs often end up on the streets.
Louise Coleman founded Greyhound Friends after adopting her first greyhound, a former racing dog, on Mother's Day 30 years ago. The future of the greyhound breed may be unclear, but adoption efforts are on the rise. Though located in the Northeast, Greyhound Friends is affiliated with several adoption groups across the country and even internationally. Coleman points out that former racing greyhounds can be the ideal pet for a variety of people. They are affectionate to their owners and also comfortable with downtime, as greyhounds who raced are used to spending long periods of time in racing kennels.
