Please be corrected, Criterion(without an s) is the singular form while Criteria is the plural form. The is no such word as criterions.
Just a piece advice, next time you want to make a correction, cross check with google (everyone's best friend) before going on, ok?
Thank me later :-)

Greetings! This Sunday, we will take time to celebrate Mother's Day – a day to honor our mothers and the maternal figures in our lives who have touched, supported, and helped us thrive and survive. As a working mother of two small children, I rely on my own mother to be there for my children when I travel and frequently work late into the evenings. Mothers like mine are at the core of the reproductive justice movement – they help keep our families strong and vibrant; keep us healthy, fed and free from harm; and are the leaders in our communities. I am grateful to my mother for everything she's given me over the years and for her constant care and dedication to my young family.
This year, please consider honoring your mami, abuela, tia, madrina, or other special mother in your life with a tax-deductible donation in her honor to the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health (NLIRH).
Last month, thirty-one of our activists from around the country gathered in Washington, D.C., many of them mothers, for our National Advocacy Weekend. These committed activists met with their members of Congress to demand that they protect vital family planning services and abortion care for all women. As mothers, we know that the ability to determine when and if we want to parent is critical to living a full and promising life. Your gift will allow us to keep up our phone calls, letter writing, and activists walking the halls of Congress. Our communities rely on affordable, safe and comprehensive reproductive health care. With your help, we can keep the pressure on our members of Congress.
As moms across the country struggle to do their best for their families, your generous donation will be a touching symbol of the love and respect you have for your mother.
Make your gift online today or mail your check to: National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, Development Department, 50 Broad Street, Suite 1937, New York, NY 10004. And, to show that special mother in your life how much she means to you all year long, please consider enrolling in our automatic monthly-giving program.
Thank you in advance for your financial support, and Happy Mother's Day to all madres! We could not sustain our critical work on behalf of reproductive health, dignity, and justice without you.
In solidarity,
Silvia Henriquez
Executive Director
All donations made through our website are 100% secure.
If you would like to make a donation over the phone using your credit card, please call us at 212-422-2553.
- NLIRH launched our "What's the Real Problem?" campaign last month to destigmatize teen pregnancy and young motherhood. Read more about the campaign here, and download the bilingual toolkit here or poster here.
NLIRH has been working tirelessly to protect the 14th Amendment, elevate the voices of immigrant women, and push back against both dehumanizing rhetoric and direct birthright citizenship attacks on Latina immigrant mothers and our families.

LONGMONT -- Mallory Martin will be anxiously awaiting the arrival of her hard-earned diplomas for the next few weeks, but she's not sure which one will come first, high school or college.
This month, Martin, 18, graduated from high school and received her associate of science degree from Front Range Community College through a concurrent enrollment program that allowed her to take college classes while being home-schooled during her junior and senior years.
"I was a high school junior and a college freshman at the same time," Martin said. "I have a plan, and taking college classes as a high school student will help me achieve my goals a little faster."
Martin was among the nearly 100 students from Front Range Community College's Boulder County Campus who were recognized Wednesday night during a commencement ceremony for students graduating in the 2012-2013 school year.
Among those honored at the commencement were Beatriz "Betty" Cintora-Silva and her sister, Maria Cintora-Silva, who were killed Dec. 18 by Betty's ex-boyfriend, Daniel Sanchez, who committed suicide following the murders.
An associate of arts degree was awarded Maria, who was expected to graduate this spring, and a certificate of good academic standing was awarded to Betty, who was also a student at the campus.
The sisters' aunt accepted the certificates in front of a standing ovation.
According to the program, about 700 students will receive degrees from the campus this spring, but an exact number will not be available until final grades are posted, spokesman John Feeley said.
The jazz quartet Basin Street Blues, including two staff members from the Boulder County campus, welcomed hundreds of friends and family members to a packed Skyline High School auditorium for the ceremony, including Martin's family, who she said played a significant role in her early success.
The youngest speaker of the evening, Martin talked to her peers about hard work and helping others.
"It takes at least a little bit of blood, sweat and tears to reach success," Martin said in her speech.
In the fall, Martin will begin classes at the University of Colorado's Boulder campus as a junior, the next step on her way to medical school.
"I've never looked at college as a time to fool around," Martin said. "I want to get my degree and move on to my career and being successful. That's what really matters."
Eventually, Martin said she hopes to work as a doctor in a developing country where she can focus on helping others.

Notes from Phoenix and the National Association of State Community Services Programs (NASCSP) Conference
Posted by Jim Gunshinan on September 12, 2013
While the weather is cool compared to normal in this part of the Sonoran Desert, the talk at the NASCSP Conference has been hot with passion and purpose. Clarence Carter, Director of the Arizona Department of Economic Security, and formerly of the Bush Administration, spoke at the Conference Opening from his long years of experience and wisdom gained.
"The safety net doesn't really exist," he says. In Washington D.C. and the federal government and in many states, the "net" consists of a lot of different programs with different, if similar, goals, each with their own leadership and funding sources. Often the community action programs of all types focus on procedure and not outcome. This often forces people to act against their own self-interest to get program benefits. For example, people who need help worry that if they get a job, even at minimum wage, they may be cut off from the aid they need to begin a more independent life. So they stay dependent on program assistance.
"In Arizona, 1.6 million people receive some kind of state and federal assistance, out of a total population of 6 million," says Carter. In Arizona, they are beginning to fight this trend by putting all state community services under the same roof at the Department of Economic Security. "We have to re-invent the nation's safety net. It's okay to say that the Emperor has no clothes. We like the Emperor, but we have to get real."
That kinds of sums up the mood of the conference. People are not angry at the way things are, though they could be and there is plenty of blame to go around, from the economic crisis largely brought about by the financial elite and the grid-locked Congress. It's like the weather. You may not like it, but you deal with it. Problems are being solved by the real heroes who keep working for a better life for all Americans. Maybe life in the desert is the best metaphor. You have to be smart and tough to survive, and thrive!

Here are swatches of the NYX Matte Lipsticks ($4.99) I snagged at IMATS: Indie Flick, Sweet Pink, and Shocking Pink. These lipsticks are gorgeous! Even though they have a matte finish, they are not at all drying (at least to me), I have "Ruby Woo" from MAC which is a matte finish and it's so dry, I can't apply that without some chapstick; in comparison, these are very moisturizing and very pigmented!
The only con is that there is not a lot of product in comparison to standard lipsticks, but then again it's only $4.99! To get an idea, the second pic below is the lipstick twisted all the way up.
I also took the liberty of comparing these lipsticks to other lipsticks in my collection, when I originally swatched "Shocking Pink" at IMATS, it reminded me of MAC's "Candy Yum-Yum" lipstick, so I swatched similar pinks to see what they could be close to. "Indie Flick" is more of a true orange (it didn't show up that true in pics), MAC's "Coral Polyp" from the Dame Edna Collection and MAC's "Hibiscus" from the Surf Baby Collection had more of a reddish terracotta tinge to it. And NYX's "Femme" lipstick is a nice true coral. NYX's "Sweet Pink" is close to MAC's "Show Orchid" and NYX's "Shocking Pink" is just a tad bit more berry in shade, whereas MAC's "Candy Yum Yum" is more on the lighter pink side.

NYX Matte Lipsticks (Swatches!)
Here are swatches of the NYX Matte Lipsticks ($4.99) I snagged at IMATS: Indie Flick, Sweet Pink, and Shocking Pink. These lipsticks are gorgeous! Even though they have a matte finish, they are not at all drying (at least to me), I have "Ruby Woo" from MAC which is a matte finish and it's so dry, I can't apply that without some chapstick; in comparison, these are very moisturizing and very pigmented!

Posted on March 10, 2010
I know what I can do in recollection of the Mystery and More Book Fair: I can explain the Collectibles table. Not many customers were ever curious enough to ask me about those books, and it didn't matter how many signs I put up: some people shied away from anything that wasn't neatly advertised.
The Mystery and More Book Fair involved mysteries, science fiction, romance, westerns, military fiction, true crime, true espionage (a category we don't use at the July Book Fair), and children's books. And on one set of tables I put what we CALLED "Collectibles" but which really stood for "Anything Else We Thought Might Interest You."
This included, for example, Literature. These were books which in July would go into the Lit section but which had some relation to what we were selling: Owen Wister's The Virginian for readers of westerns, Graham Greene's "entertainments" for lovers of spy novel, Wilkie Collins for those who wanted genuine Victorian suspense, and so on. This didn't get us far. All anyone ever bought out of that section were Jane Austen and Edgar Allan Poe (THERE are some names you didn't think I'd be using in the same sentence.) Try as I might to convince the romance buyers to pick up Anna Karenina….
We also had a section I called "Other Books by Mystery Writers". Mystery writers often commit nonfiction, even if it's just autobiography. Andrew Greeley wrote about everything, of course. Robert Van Gulik wrote some esoteric essays on Chinese Imperial culture (the role of the gibbon in Chinese literature, for example.) James Yaffe wrote about Jewish life in America, Charles Merrill Smith wrote Episcopalian guidance, and Ian Fleming wrote about diamond smuggling (all the stuff he couldn't squeeze into Diamonds Are Forever.)
There were things you'd expect, of course: books autographed by mystery authors, those rare early editions (The Devil's Elixir from 1818, by the man who wrote The Nutcracker), books on how to write mysteries, etc. A section people came looking for and which was never quite big enough was Chicago Crime. I get nearly as many requests for Al Capone autographs as I do for Babe Ruth, with about the same level of success. (If I can get one more Babe Ruth autograph, that will bring my total up to exactly one.)
This section was where we put the Large Print mysteries and romances, and the uncorrected proofs of fantasy and science fiction novels, and the Christmas tree ornaments in the shape of cowboy boots and the copies of the Aqua Sutra (with waterproof pages, no less. I thought it fit all those vampire/mermaid romances.) Solve-the-Crime jigsaw puzzles went there, and we had a show biz subsection, for books on mystery movies, lives of Alfred Hitchcock or Harrison Ford, and theatre programs from Sleuth or An Inspector Calls.
And, of course, I liked to include at least one art book by Sir Anthony Blunt, and Richard Ellman's life of Oscar Wilde, just so I could explain why. Blunt, of course, was the art historian and Director of the Courtauld Institute who turned out to be working for the KGB, while the picture on the dust jacket of Ellman's book PROVES that Oscar Wilde went to a lot of Harry Potter movies before deciding on his "look"; he has Professor Snape imitated perfectly, even to the lurking sneer. We at the Book Fair like to remember the Newberry is as famous for its scholarly research as for its Book Fair.

|Where are you from?
|Magee, MS
|What degree did you/will you receive and when?
|BS in Biology from Belhaven College in Jackson, MS in 2004; DMD from the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 2009; MSPH from UAB in 2010; Simultaneously will complete a residency program in Periodontology and PhD in Pathobiology and Molecular Medicine in 2014
|How long have you been at UAB?
|In Perio residency since 2009; In PhD program since 2010
|What is your research?
|Targeted delivery of osteoinductive peptides to bone grafts to enhance the regenerative capacity
|Why did you choose UAB for your graduate studies?
|UAB allowed me to complete my goals of simulataneous clinical residency and graduate school in a way where I was never completely out of the clinic or completely out of the lab. It was fully integrated. Also UAB is a top rated research facility as is shown by the recently accomplishment of the dental school being the #1 school in the country for NIDCR funding.
|Have you received any awards or honors?
Since coming to UAB I have received the following awards in reverse chronological order:
|What has been your most rewarding experience at UAB?
|UAB is such a diverse place and being involved in multiple programs I get to interact with many different people.
|Who was your greatest influence here at UAB and why?
|I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by such supporting mentors and colleagues to name just one would be an injustice. All of my fellow residents and grad students, all the faculty and staff, and my mentors Dr. Susan L Bellis and Dr. Michael S. Reddy have all made an impact on me as a clinician, researcher, and professional. I am forever grateful.
|What is your motivation in your academics/research?
|I was the first person in my family to complete a 4 year college degree. However, my parents taught me and showed me from example the importance of hard work. I have always strived to carry their work ethic in everything I do. Whether it be in the classroom, clinic, lab, or in any other facet of my life, I always push to give 100% effort. Also, my family keeps me motivated. I have the most supporting and wonderful husband, Jacob. We've been married 9 years and he is my rock. I also strive to instill the work ethic I learned from my parents in my child, Jonah.
|What are your plans after graduating and for the future?
|I would like to hold a tenure track assistant professor position at a dental school where I have the capability to do clinical and didactic teaching, research, and private practice.
|Jennifer's Advice for Other Graduate Students:
Stay focused and motivated. I am completing a PhD and residency program while having a growing family (2.5 year old and one due in February). If you set your mind to your goals, don't let anything deter you. Know what's important to you and don't sweat the little things. There will be speed bumps and even road blocks that slow you down, but keep the big goal in mind and drive forward.

Makes about 2.5 cups
3 cups finely chopped, high-quality dark chocolate
3/4 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
Using a double boiler or stainless steel bowl set over, but not touching, barely simmering water, melt the chocolate. Stir in the corn syrup, vanilla and salt. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. The chocolate should come together with the consistency of pie dough and become more flexible as you work with it.
Place the mixture on a work surface covered with parchment paper and roll it into a 1/4-inch thick disc. Form it into 6-inch logs or the shape of your choice. (If it's too soft, chill it for 20 minutes.) Serve at room temperature.

The Important Role of the Buena Vista Wisconsin Mayor
While many citizens may feel far removed politics on a national level, there is no other form of political government that individuals are most affected by than their own local government. The figurehead of a town's local politics is usually the town mayor. This individual can either be elected or appointed, and is often the first person who citizens turn to in order to voice concerns or complaints on various local issues which may impact their quality of life.
The power that a mayor of Buena Vista WI holds can either be vast or limited. Depending on the situation, a mayor of Buena Vista Wisconsin may hold equal footing with other board members, or he may hold a higher authority. A mayor of Buena Vista WI may have the power to veto laws (ordinances) or may be able to modify them at will. An effective mayor of Buena Vista Wisconsin will usually act cooperatively with citizens and will seek to find solutions for various issues within the town. A mayor of Buena Vista WI can help to solidify a community, especially during times of strife, such an a natural disaster. During such times, a town's citizen's look to the mayor of Buena Vista Wisconsin to keep them informed of how to obtain emergency resources.
A mayor of Buena Vista WI may be in charge of the town's budget, therefore allocating funds to various departments within the city. In order to increase more local revenue, he may also have to actively seek out businesses and other operations to set up homestead in his city in order to draw in more funds. Another duty of a mayor may be to actively promote and emphasize the fostering of growth in local arts and culture.
The duties of a mayor of Buena Vista Wisconsin can be quite expansive. Oftentimes, he will find himself extremely busy attending various political functions and town hall meetings throughout the week. It is imperative that a mayor of Buena Vista WI be both driven and motivated to keep up with the busy schedules which often accompany this political role.
A mayor of Buena Vista Wisconsin attends political events, not only on a local level, but on a state level as well. Depending upon the size of the city that he is in charge of, he may become a nationally known public figure. Holding the office of mayor of Buena Vista WI in a large city often times means that other town mayors may attempt to emulate and incorporate various ordinances that have proven to be successful in his own community.
In order to run for mayor, it is a common rule that the individual who is seeking office must reside in that town for at least one year. A successful candidate does not necessarily have to run under any party affiliation, however, it can be helpful to have the solid backing of a large political party. In order to be elected as mayor, that person must be at least 18 years of age. There have been several individuals who have successfully run for mayor of Buena Vista Wisconsin at a very young age. Regardless of age, to hold such an important political position, it is important to have great demeanor, compassion towards others and excellent communication skills. If a town's citizens feel that their mayor of Buena Vista WI is not performing his job up to standards, it is likely that they will vote him out of office.

I Love Lucy! That is all.
Actually, no, it's not. Here's a picture of my intarsia project…Um, this is the project I chose so that I could learn intarsia. First time ever. Overly ambitious? Maybe. But I'm having a good time. The Trailer Park Boys popped my intarsia cherry. I love you, Ricky (on theme), Julian and Bubbles (not on theme). Kitties are so nice! Kitties would love to play with my knitting.
You can see that I'm not the tidiest knitter in the world. It looks a bit like hamburger, doesn't it? Bobbins?!? Who the hell needs bobbins? I can make sense of it in all of it's spaghetti-like splendor. It's done when you can throw it at a wall and it sticks, right?
Anyway, that's how my brain works. Spastic or spacial. You decide.

Ariana Skye Carroll first baby born at PCRMC in 2013
Bono of U2 is known for his famous lyrics "all is quiet on New Year's Day."
It was anything but quiet on New Year's Day at Phelps County Regional Medical Center, when medical staff welcomed Ariana Skye Carroll to the world at 3:41 a.m.
Ariana was the first baby born in Phelps County on Jan. 1, 2013.
This New Year's baby, born to parents Jason and Amanda Carroll of Rolla, weighed eight pounds, five ounces, and was 21 inches long.
"She was supposed to be due Christmas, but she wound up being a New Year's baby," said Jason. "We actually were supposed to go in on Thursday morning (Jan. 3), but she didn't want to be on a schedule – that's the way I look at it."
Ariana is the fifth child born to the couple. Ariana, whose three-day-old voice could be heard over the phone, was relaxing at home with mom and dad on Friday afternoon during Jason's interview.
Her siblings are Dominic, 11, Tyler, 10, and twins Ashton and Mariah, 5.
"Mariah was our only little girl, so she is very excited to welcome a sister into our home," Jason told Phelps County medical staff.
Lindsey Dunstedter, community relations specialist at PCRMC, said New Year's Day is always an exciting time for the staff.
"We get to go shop and get stuff for the New Year's baby," she said.
As for the Carroll Family, having the most famous youngster in Phelps County was a little unexpected.
"It was kind of one of those things – it was something else," he said. "We didn't ever think about it."
Jason works as a manager at Steak 'n Shake in Rolla, and Amanda is a stay-at-home mom.

Soft and transitional floating frames are discreetly decorated with traditional accents to render them complements in almost any décor. The Harvest Bronze and Satin Pewter metal finishes are accented by the Champagne glass, which is hand-crafted in Italy. Every framburg lighting fixture is manufactured in the U.S.A
A Century of Design and Craftsmanship
Many changes have occurred since 1905 – social, economic, political, and cultural. But some things haven't changed. Framburg is still producing the highest quality commercial grade and residential lighting fixtures. And each Framburg is designed and handcrafted in the United States of America.
In the beginning, Framburg was mostly a regional company. Today Framburg sells and ships throughout the world and supports over one hundred families. During the 1920's Framburg was solidifying its reputation for high quality, commercial grade lighting fixtures. Some pieces in our product line have been produced for over 50 years - a testament to their timeless style and enduring quality. Some of our designs, including the Chancery collection, are exact reproductions of period lighting.
Through-out our product line you will find several designs that utilize iconographic images that have profound symbolic meaning derived from myth and legend such as the gargoyle-adorned lantern from our Carcassonne Collection. From formal to casual, gothic to contemporary, and rustic to refined, Framburg handcrafts one of the broadest product lines. Often we seek to capture the essence of a genre or design philosophy without being confined by its methods or materials. The Fin de Siecle Collection is inspired by the organic elements of Art Nouveau styling.
Each Framburg fixture is the beneficiary of refinements in metal forming, finishing, design, and engineering techniques that have been refined through the generations. Not long ago designs were rendered painstakingly by hand. Today, Framburg designs are modeled on a computer and are the distillation of countless iterations that allow us to achieve superior form, proportion and scale. Framburg is one of the most integrated manufacturers in the lighting industry and one of the few companies still manufacturing product in the United States. Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to produce fixtures of superior quality, thematic consistency, and design integrity. Our capabilities also allow us to create a virtually infinite array of custom designs. While much of the design process is aided by computers, much of themetal-working and finishing is done by hand. Tubing and sheet brass are hand-bent and components are hand-rubbed or hand-polished. The result is a product of enduring quality and authenticity.

CU's young defense that often featured a secondary comprised mostly of true freshmen allowed 39 touchdown passes and made just three interceptions in 12 games. But if there is one area of the team that can realistically be expected to make a big improvement next fall, it's probably the secondary.
True freshmen such as Kenneth Crawley, Marques Mosley and Yuri Wright earned a lot of playing time and learned plenty of hard lessons they believe will help them improve as sophomores.
"Playing definitely helped me a lot," Wright said. "I learned a lot this year and going into my sophomore year I just know a lot more than maybe some other guys on the team. It was a good experience to play my first year."
But that alone isn't enough reason to expect improvement.
It's also reasonable to expect that the young defensive linemen who also earned a lot of playing time in 2012 will be bigger and better and will help take some of the pressure off those defensive backs.
But coaching is the biggest reason the Buffs should be picking off more passes from Pac-12 Conference quarterbacks in 2013.
That's not a shot at former secondary coach and defensive coordinator Greg Brown. He left CU when coach Jon Embree was fired with plenty of respect from the players who played for him. And Brown is no slouch. He landed rather softly on his feet as the new secondary coach of defending national champion Alabama after all.
But Crawley, Wright and Mosley all mentioned in separate interviews a common problem they believe affected their ability to learn the defense and understand game plans and execute them on game day as freshmen. It was not getting enough one-on-one attention from Brown.
All three players said they believe the new coaching staff led by head coach Mike MacIntyre will be more "hands on" when it comes to the secondary. They have already seen evidence of it. In secondary meetings last year, Brown did most of the talking. CU defensive backs also worked with graduate assistant Cha'pelle Brown.
This year they will have a completely different dynamic with MacIntyre, a former secondary coach, defensive coordinator Kent Baer, cornerbacks coach Andy LaRussa, safeties coach Charles Clark and Cha'pelle Brown contributing to coaching the secondary. Even new strength coach Dave Forman is a former defensive back.
"That's going to help a lot because we have coaches that know a lot," Wright said. "The more coaches, the more you can learn.
"Coach Brown is a heck of a coach, but he had a lot on his plate being a defensive coordinator and a position coach."
Crawley played in 11 games as a true freshman and finished the season fifth in tackles. Mosley was right behind him on the tackles chart in sixth, playing in 12 games. As the season wore on they all believe they began to make more plays than mistakes and they can build on that beginning next week when spring ball starts with an afternoon practice on Thursday, March 7.
"It's more hands on with the coaches," Mosley said. "Even coach Mac is in the meetings with us, too."
All three defensive backs came to CU with high expectations after standout prep careers and they delivered in different ways. Wright played most of the season with nagging injuries but still managed to play in eight games and make big improvements from his first game to his last.
Crawley returned punts, a role he hopes to continue in this year and Mosley did it all playing both cornerback and safety while returning kickoffs. Each said the game slowed down for them over the course of the season and they will carry a much greater level of confidence into the 2013 season.
"I was so scared," Mosley said of his first game as a Buff against Colorado State last fall. "Everybody was bigger than me. I just felt like I was going to mess up, but it was fine."
Crawley said he was more intimidated by the names he knew than anything. He said going to Los Angeles to play USC was maybe the biggest hurdle of the season for him because he looked up to the Trojans and respected the mystique of the program growing up.
"Yeah, I was intimidated at the USC game," Crawley said. "It was like shock. Just playing at the Coliseum and then playing against one of the best receivers in the country and just both of them and just seeing them was like a shock. I know I can go out there and play with those guys. I know what I can do and I know I upset a lot of people, but you got to just move on with it. Everybody makes mistakes. You just got to get better."
All three of CU's prominent sophomore defensive backs say they are committed to staying in Boulder and helping lead the program back to the postseason and respectability. Mosley and Wright said they never considered leaving when the coaching change happened, though they were disappointed to see the coaches who recruited them go.
Crawley said he considered leaving CU more than once last fall because of personal issues but Embree always talked him into staying. He said he initially felt uncertain about his future in Boulder when the coaching change was made, but he likes the new coaches and is eager to get back on the field and start learning everything he can from them. He even sees himself as a potential team leader this year and in the future.
"This year I have to prove myself," Crawley said. "I saw what (college receivers) can do and I know what I can do. I have to step up."

Bosh had his best game of the series with 19 points and a huge tip in at the end. No one else really played well offensively for the Heat
Paul Pierce was a beast scoring with 27 points. Garnett followed up one of his best offensive playoff performances with one of his worst, going 1-10 from the field. Ray struggled again and missed some open threes he would normally make. Delonte West had another solid game off the bench, including the biggest shot in regulation.
Glen Davis continued to struggle and produced pretty much nothing. Jeff Green played well in limited minutes off the bench. Though Rondo wasn't as affective as he usually is the fact that he played with a dislocated elbow is incredible. I say people are awesome at life a lot but for this guy it really holds true. Despite the loss I will never forget the toughness of Rajon Rondo.
Now we are down 3-1 going to Miami for game 5. Can we still win? Yes, but with Rondo's injury it is going to be extremely tough. I don't know how the Celtics are going to recover from this but if anyone can do it, it's this team. Karl Dillinger 5/09/2011 10:07:00 PM Tweet Edit
