The female breast contains tube-like structures called ducts. When a woman is breastfeeding, these ducts bring milk from the milk-producing glands to the area around the nipple. This allows the milk to flow from the breast to the infant.
A ductogram is a test to create images of the breast ducts. It is done with a mammogram and special contrast dye.
Reasons for Procedure
A ductogram is done to look for the cause of abnormal discharge from the nipples.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Adverse reaction to the contrast dye
- Injury to the duct
- Breast infection
- Pain
Talk to your doctor about these risks before the procedure.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Before the ductogram, your doctor may:
- Do a physical exam
- Order tests, such as a mammogram and blood tests
- Ask you about your medical history
- Ask you about the medications that you take, including any over-the-counter products, herbs, and supplements
In the days leading up to the procedure, your doctor will ask you to avoid squeezing any discharge from the nipple. It's important that there is discharge during the ductogram.
On the day of the ductogram:
- Be sure to tell the staff if you have ever had an allergic reaction to contrast dye.
- Eat and drink as usual. If you normally take medication, you can do this as well.
- Do not apply deodorant, talcum powder, lotion, or perfume near your breasts or under your arms.
- Wear comfortable clothing so you can easily remove your shirt.
Description of the Procedure
There are different techniques to do this procedure. In general, you will be asked to lie on your back. The nipple area will be cleaned. Then the breast will be squeezed to release discharge. This will help your doctor determine which duct the discharge is coming from. A small, flexible tube will be inserted into the milk duct. The contrast dye will be injected through this tube. X-ray images will be taken of the breast after the contrast material is injected. Lastly, the cannula will be removed and a small bandage or pad will be placed over the nipple.
How Long Will It Take?
30-60 minutes
Will It Hurt?
You may feel some discomfort during the procedure.
Post-procedure Care
You will be able to go home after the ductogram. You can resume your normal activities. Leave the bandage or pad on since the contrast dye may leak out of the duct.
Talk to your doctor about the results. Your doctor may ask for other tests or procedures if there are any abnormal areas.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if you:
- Notice any other changes in your breast, such as thickening or a lump
- Develop any other symptoms, including a possible allergic reaction to the contrast dye
- Develop signs of infection such as heat, swelling, pain, fever, or chills
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

The Raptors won five of the first six games Lowry missed and took a season-high five-game winning streak into a matchup with the Spurs here Wednesday night.
And because of the leadership shown by veteran Jose Calderon, Lowry will come off the bench whenever he gets back.
Jose has earned the position, Casey said before the game. Jose has played as well as any point guard weve had this year so thats where it is right now.
Well see in the next couple of days but right now Jose is the starting point guard and has done a solid job of running the team, building trust, directing the young guys, making sure theyre in the right place.
what is everyone else's opinion?

"The Yes Men" Warming Hoax -- Another View

The Yes Men: folk heroes, or cyber-terrorists?
(Source: Guerilla Innovation)
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." -- Mark Twain
In the 1990s the theory that the world was warming and humans were causing it -- anthropogenic global warming (AGW) theory -- came into vogue. Since, researchers have been unable to accurately model the climate trends and the Earth has even
experienced cooling
, virtually dashing wishful thinking of a global heatwave.
Undeterred by the lack of solid supporting evidence for their novel theories, international governments today stand on the verge of adopting expensive new carbon taxation schemes. Ironically, these talks -- the Copenhagen summit -- come just weeks after many of the most prominent studies to support the theory were apparently exposed to be faked (see
on the CRU scandal).
Deep in the thick of the warming mess is pair of hooligans-cum-AGW theory "advocates", who call themselves "The Yes Men". Critics call the pair essentially digital terrorists or worse. They accuse the pair of spreading a long trail of libel, lies, and misinformation that has damaged many legitimate firms.
"The Yes Men" defend their actions, saying they're "Cutting the Corporate" crap. They're beloved figures in the green and anarchist communities, which hold them up as Robin Hood-esque figures. That's little comfort to thousands of employees and investors with Exxon, Halliburton, British Petroleum, Dow Chemical and others that have lost their jobs or tidy sums based on the havoc the pair's phony news stories and fraudulent web pages stir up.
Surprisingly, you won't find "The Yes Men" behind bars or sued out of house and home for libel and computer fraud. Instead, the pair exists quite prosperously in New York City. Despite their alter-egos' stance of anti-consumerism, the pair leads quite a posh lifestyle in New York City, with Igor Vamos (alias "Mike Bonanno") teaching as an associate professor of media arts at the prestigious Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Jacque Servin (alias "Andy Bichlbaum") teaching as an assistant professor in subversion at the pricey Parsons The New School for Design in New York City.
Together the flamboyant pair recently committed their
biggest hoax
to date, this time impersonating a government organization. The pair faked press releases from the Canadian government, claiming to announce pledges of drastic carbon cuts.
In reality, the Canadian government is likely to proceed with smaller cuts, and they did not appreciate the misinformation. They contacted the ISP of the sites hosting the hoaxed content and were able to secure its take down. They also briefly blocked a series of similar domain names to prevent the cyber fakers from changing the site name. About 4,500 non-affiliated sites were briefly taken down, but have since been restored to working order.
While critics are saying "The Yes Men" are lucky not to be facing criminal and civil charges, the pair instead has cried that they are victims, audaciously declaring that they are being censored. Emboldened, the pair is cooking up more pseduo-legal stunts for the near future, that will invariably result in more damage to legitimate businesses and government entities.
In the pair's discussions with
The Seattle Pi
and the blogosphere, they have said that their actions were driven in part by the Alberta Sands oil project, a proposed Canadian oil excavation endeavor. Some estimates have suggested that the project will locally increase emissions by 165 percent, a figure critics like "The Yes Men" have pounced on. Critics neglect to note the positive impact this project might have.
Worldwide oil sands -- primarily found in Canada and Venezuela, likely hold two thirds of the world's crude oil. The Alberta sands, better known as the Athabasca Oil Sands are estimated to hold 170 billion barrels (27
) of easily extractable crude oil (a mere 10 percent of the total in the sands). Oil companies have worked with the government to establish plans to minimize carbon and environmental impacts of any extraction projects.
The new projects, on the verge of government approval, could create tens or even hundreds of thousands of new Canadian jobs in an industry that already employs 500,000. Additionally they could make Canada the world's second largest oil producer -- behind only Saudi Arabia (OPEC). This would allow the U.S. and other commercial partners to enjoy decades of affordable power from a politically stable source. Amid these benefits, it's clear that the issue is not as black and white as the critics claim.
Returning to the celebrated cyber phonies and their hoax, the actions of "The Yes Men" do at least raise some interesting questions -- chiefly: in the digital age, is misinformation and hoaxes protected under freedom of speech? If this is partially true at least, how far should the protections go -- to false statements about individuals, to falsehoods about businesses, or to fraudulent government sites, even? Conversely, if this kind of speech is illegal, who should be the judge of that in the international community, which shares the internet?
Further, should the legality be impacted by profit based on misinformation? Current laws clearly provide grounds to prosecute phishers who steal peoples' credit card information. What about individuals like "The Yes Men" who profit based on media works (books, movies, etc.) or prominent positions resulting from their escapades? Should this be grounds for criminal or civil punishment?
Indeed "The Yes Men" and their warming farce raise many questions, if perhaps not the ones they intended. Perhaps the biggest question of them all is whether this is truly the kind of figures that the self-proclaimed "green community" wants to embrace.
"The Space Elevator will be built about 50 years after everyone stops laughing" -- Sir Arthur C. Clarke

Join in the Discussion: LinkedIn Polls Launched
So far our latest LinkedIn poll has got a few readers buzzing.
Credit Union Times recently posted a poll asking: Which is worse for your credit union: Regulatory burden or loss of tax exempt status?
The completely unscientific poll, which is ongoing, finds tax exemption slightly edging out regulatory burdens as a concern 52% compared to 47%.
One commenter, David H. Kudrin, account manager at CMG Mortgage Insurance, likened the assessments associated with the stabilization of the corporate system to a tax.
"As a result the industry has already had a taste of taxation without enjoying any potential benefits/tradeoffs that could come with it," said Kudrin. "I will see taxation in my lifetime, the question that remains is, will all the efforts be focused on just fighting it and then when it happens it will not be on our terms. Or if and when it happens will we get access to more products, investment options, member business lending with no cap etc."
Weigh in on the poll. Join the Credit Union Times LinkedIn group and get in on the discussions.

Syrian refugee crisis: Moved to prayer
You won't hear much in the media about the conflict in Syria -- but it's causing significant human suffering that warrants our attention and prayer.
As the crisis approaches its second anniversary, the number of Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, and Egypt is quickly approaching 1 million.
Here are some ways that you can pray for all the people affected as the unrest continues.
* * *
The Syrian people are suffering from widespread conflict. As many as 70,000 lives have been lost, and many have been injured. Homes and businesses are being destroyed in the violence.
Lord, Psalm 46:9 declares that You "make wars cease to the ends of the earth." Help those in conflict with one another to come to a peaceful solution, so that civilians may resume their daily lives. Lord, we trust in You.
Syrian families are being uprooted from their homes by the fighting, displaced in their own country or fleeing to neighboring countries for safety.
Lord, come to the aid of families who are fleeing to safety. Protect them from dangers on their travels, and guide them to places where they can find help and rest. Provide host communities with the resources to assist families arriving on their doorsteps. Lord, we trust in You.
Many Syrian school-aged children are not able to attend classes because they've left their communities, or because schools are closed while shelling endangers their neighborhoods.
Lord, You know that children whose educations are disrupted often have a hard time catching up. This threatens their future prospects to have a career and care for a family. We ask You to help children who are missing classes today. Help them to resume their studies with ease. And give teachers the training to help these students regain what they may have lost. Lord, we trust in You.
There are many ancient Christian communities in this region, going back to New Testament times. Saul was helped by Christians in Damascus after his encounter with the ascended Christ (Acts 9). These communities today have requested prayer that they may stay strong in faith.
Lord, we lift to You our brothers and sisters in Christ living in this region. Strengthen them with power through the Spirit (Ephesians 3:16). And help them to endure and remain faithful, knowing that nothing can separate them from Your love. Lord, we trust in You.
World Vision staff in Lebanon have requested prayer as they assist those fleeing the conflict and other poor communities. All humanitarian personnel need the strength and resources to sustain them in their work.
Lord, thank You for those who are already working with poor communities in this region. Many people had few resources before the conflict began and have even less now. Strengthen humanitarian teams, both World Vision and others, as they assist children and families in need. Bring in the financial resources and physical supplies necessary to help children and restore people's hope for a brighter future. Lord, we trust in You.
Make a one-time donation to help World Vision provide emergency assistance for Syrian refugees. Your gift will help us provide basic hygiene kits and food vouchers for refugee families, as well as established Child-Friendly Spaces to provide affected children with a safe place to play, learn, and interact with their peers.
Please join us in prayer for all World Vision staff members working around the world, particularly in this region of conflict.
Also, consider joining World Vision's Hope Prayer Team. Each month, you'll receive an email containing suggested prayer points for those in need, for World Vision's work, and our staff -- as well as news from around the world, guided prayer points for urgent requests, and links to other ways you can care for children in need.

1) Bosh wanted a dynamic PG who could penetrate and create opportunities for him, since that was the way the league was going back then, so BC traded PF depth (Charlie V.) for a young PG (Ford)
2) Bosh wanted to shift to PF because he was sick of getting hammered while playing C and wanted to be able to focus on offense instead of defense (hmmm who does that sound like now), so BC traded PG depth (Ford) for a proven C (O'Neal)
3) Bosh & O'Neal didn't pan out, Bargnani was looking like a decent talent (and looked to be developing some good chemistry with Bosh) and the overwhelming consensus was that the team was lacking a stud wing, so BC traded C depth (O'Neal) for a proven SF (Marion)
4) Marion seemed destined to leave the team for nothing and the team drafted a highly touted wing (DeRozan), so BC replaced one proven wing (Marion) with another proven wing who had a glowing reputation as both a distributor and 3-pt shooter (Turkoglu), to help spread the floor and give Bosh more room to operate
These moves were all home-run style moves that didn't pan out, but BC deserves credit for making them AND for correcting them when they didn't work out. He tried his best to build a solid team around a player perceived to be a franchise player in Bosh... the biggest problem was that Bosh never was a true franchise player... he was a good player on a terrible team. For 7 years, nobody faulted BC for building around Bosh, so don't start knocking him using hindsight!

Getting in touch with his Italian heritage. (it made him have tunnel vision)
Getting in touch with his Italian heritage. (it made him have tunnel vision)
One true error i can think of was the allowing of Jorge Garbajosa to participate in euroball despite the fact that it was already known he was having injury problems.
Trying to build "Phoenix east". That period where all the players he signed were for offensive purposes and all we wanted to do was score set us back a lot and started this no defense culture that we have now. If Colangelo had been thinking defense and accountability from the beginning a lot of the problems we've seen would have never happened and Sam Mitchell, who is still the best coach we've had, might still be running the team.
"Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival."
The more I think about it, the answer is:
Not being able to admit to his mistakes. (thinking he could correct all moves for a premium, and costing us down the road...)
I don't know what his biggest error was in his time in Toronto, but I'd say not being able to pull off a proper tank last season was amongst them. If you look at any of the players picked before Toronto chose Ross, you could make a case for them being a better fit. I like Terrence, but our best player this season shares the same position Terrence would play.
I'd have to throw in the contract for Fields into the list of errors because unless Landry comes back and plays well we're are stuck with that contract until it expires. Also, depending on how much you value Hibbert, trading his draft rights to Indiana was pretty awful as well.
Thank You.
I find the arguments that include 'everyone knew or thought at the time it was a good move' so, for a lack of a better term, lame. Events such as JO, Hedo, trading Bosh etc were surrounded by people of varying opinions. If someone thought it was a good move, or the majority though it was a good move, doesn't mean everyone did.
There must've been something else going on that helped Smitch through the door. Whether it was Bargnani or not, who knows.

I first discovered RR in the summer of 2009 (before the start of Bosh's final season as a Raptor) to argue in favor of trading him that offseason. I thought he was overrated but, most importantly, I was 100% sold that he would never re-sign with Toronto. At that time there were many more teams in the conversation (NYK, HOU and PHI chief among them), since the list wasn't determined by Bosh as he was still under contract. I was part of a very small minority back then.
I also hated both the O'Neal trade and the Turkoglu S&T deal. Like somebody else mentioned, I was hoping that BC would use his assets (ie: Ford, Rasho, draft picks) to acquire a star SF. Trading for O'Neal (and then Turkoglue) and trading for Jack, both in weak short-sighted attempts to appease Bosh, was an absolutely dreadful team-building strategy.
1. Not Trading Bosh
2. Drafting Bargs
4.Firing Sam Mitchell
5. Hiring Triano
Meddling in the coaches job, which means that he is contemplating his 4th coach in 6 years.
That, and having the lowest wins / payroll ratio in the NBA last year. I would hate to think what it is this year.
Firing Sam was not a mistake, just badly timed. The man was a terrible coach. His successors haven't been any better, sadly.
I have to say the JO signing was a move I really liked at the time. I thought he would have been a perfect fit next to Bosh and for the most part I felt they played pretty well next to each other for the limited time of the pairing. I don't have stats to back me up, but I felt that the surrounding cast of Parker, Calderon etc... had down years with perimeter shooting which is why the team wasn't able to exploit their strength on the inside. May not have worked out well, but I thought that was a smart move at the time.
But hey, atleast we were able to move JO's contract to Miami and help them clear enough cap space to eventually sign their big 3. I feel so happy about their success that I could just barf.
Here's what Colangelo had when he signed.
1. A star on a rookie contract (Bosh)
2. A 1st overall draft pick.
3. A weak division.
4. Tonnes of cap space.
5. 2 players who played in rookie challenge.
That was then and here we are now. The second worst team in the league with only 2 wins in the playoffs to show for in the last 7 years.

His biggest error? Great question. I think it was promoting Jay Triano to head coach. I understand why he made the decision, I just think it was the worst thing for this franchise at that pivotal point. It seems in hindsight to have been a delay tactic to wait for his guy to become available. The problem is, i'm not sure he ever had "a guy" in mind. Casey came highly recommended, so he just went with that.
I will never fault him for the personnel moves he's made. The players, while flawed, were much hyped at the time (and not just by Toronto media). The real flaw is his failure to establish a culture through his coach. For the record I like Casey and hope he sticks around. Just having to go through Jay Triano for so long was so bad...the worst IMHO.
This may not qualify as a single error, but to me the biggest issue has been an excessive amount of roster turnaround that has produced zero continuity/growth and unearthed zero consistent role players. You would think that after 7 years of constantly bringing in new faces, a few would have stuck (outside of Amir Johnson, who is obviously overpayed). But after 7 years of trading away second round picks, taking flyers on guys like Moon and trading for high draft picks that had fallen out of favour with other teams, there is literally nothing to show for it. I can forgive the draft picks, I can forgive the deals that didn't pan out, I can forgive not fully committing to the rebuild, but how you can turn the roster over year after year and not find a few players to keep long-term is a bit mind-blowing. It just speaks to how fractured and uncertain the team's direction has been year after year, how BC has been reacting instead of planning ahead.

Deborah Norville is an award winning broadcast journalist with three decades of reporting experience. As the anchor for the past twelve years of the nation's top-rated syndicated newsmagazine, Inside Edition, Deborah is credited with bringing strength and respect to the program. Inside Edition is regularly seen by roughly five million daily viewers nationwide, as well as in 30 foreign countries.
Deborah Norville is also an accomplished author. In her latest best selling book, Thank You Power: Making the SCIENCE of Gratitude Work for YOU, Norville shares the findings of her two years of reporting on research being done about the quantifiable benefits of living a grateful life. Offering exercises for harnessing "Thank You Power" and stories of individuals who've employed it, she also details the specifics of why "Thank You Power" works.
Our very own Wendy Sachs had the opportunity to sit down with Deborah Norville and ask a few questions about her multi-layered life.
Deborah, you have had an illustrious career — thirty years in broadcast journalism including anchoring "Inside Edition" for the past twelve years. You are a best selling author of four books — the most recent — Thank You Power: Making the Science of Gratitude Work for You. And you are also a wife and a mother to three children, Niki, Kyle and Mikaela. How do you juggle what is clearly an incredibly busy and multi-layered life? How do you keep your sanity? What is your secret?
I admit defeat before I get started. Seriously, I tell myself that much of what's on the to do list won't get done and so with those 'lowered expectations' I find I don't beat myself up over what doesn't happen and I feel pretty good about what I do get done. I also make a point to find something to 'be thankful' for everyday. I really do write moments down in a small journal I carry in my purse and it is a huge sanity preservation tool.
Organization is also key: by planning ahead, continually re-executing meal plans and grocery lists and using technology to simplify your life. On the 'social front,' I have just gotten good at saying no. Here in New York, there are a zillion charities and they all raise money by throwing parties that they ask you to chair, serve on a committee for, come to, beg party favors for, etc. I have served on several boards for many, many years and kind of feel like I paid my dues. I have no problem about saying no.
I have to say I do not like the term mommy blogger. I am a mom who blogs about my life and family that happens to involve lots of kids (five) a new husband (gorgeous) and a growing business (start up). I am not defined by being a mother alone but by all the things I do in my busy, hectic, fulfilling life. However, if my mommy blog made me lots of money, I would smile, hop, skip and jump all the way to the bank :)
I like the statement about having a special dinner every night. Smart lady.
Go sister go! I love to hear your common sense strategies - especially the ones I share! And I'm with you about the sense of calm that comes with being more organized (always a work in progress). Keep up the good work!

Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
This data collection contains information from the SURVEY OF INCOME AND EDUCATION, 1976 (ICPSR 7634), conducted during the months of April through July of 1976 by the Census Bureau for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The survey served as a supplement to the yearly Current Population Survey and was conducted to obtain reliable state-by-state data on the numbers of children in local areas with family incomes below the federal poverty level. The information was used to facilitate Title 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The survey includes questions used in the Current Population Survey and also contains additional exclusive questions covering school enrollment, disability, health insurance, bilingualism, food stamp recipiency, assets, and housing costs. This extract was created by subsetting from the original files only those persons who said they were not born in the United States. The data were provided by the National Chicano Research Network, which was located at the Survey Research Center of the Institute of Social Research, University of Michigan.

Vehicle Protection Service Provider to CUs to Sell Some Assets
Intercontinental Warranty Services Inc., a provider of after-market vehicle protection services to credit unions, said it will sell certain assets to Kingsway Financial Services Inc.
The Boca Raton, Fla.-based IWS provides vehicle service agreements, mechanical breakdown insurance and guaranteed asset protection to their members in conjunction with their auto loans.
Located in Chicago, Kingsway is a holding company functioning as a merchant bank and owns or controls stakes in several insurance industry assets, according to IWS. The company utilizes its subsidiaries, 1347 Advisors LLC and 1347 Capital LLC, to pursue opportunities acting as an adviser, investor and a financier, IWS said.
IWS President/CEO James Hawk said the change of ownership will be essentially transparent to client credit unions, but noticeable enhancements will include a broader product line and greater staff resources, along with improved technology.
Current management, led by Hawk, will remain in place, according to IWS.
Although the official acquisition will take place this month, IWS said the two companies have already been working on technology upgrades, such as new servers, database and telephone system.
Additional improvements will include a redesigned corporate website and the ability to reach clients through social networking systems. The company said it also expects to add to the headcount in areas such as sales, training and information technology.
Assurant Solutions will continue to underwrite the IWS VSA program, according to Keith Meier, senior vice president and general manager of extended protection solutions at Assurant Solutions.
Both IWS and Kingsway have been in the insurance business more than 20 years, the companies said.

text: I would love to see if Denver would move Gallinari for Bargnani. Their salaries are close but I doubt they would do the deal. Their GM, Masi, probably knows Bargs too well. OKC could also use him as a scorer off the bench but I don't think they have the cap space to acquire him. Too bad, otherwise, I'd see if we could get our 1st round pick back for him.

Rudy Gay can consistently get a shot off that he's comfortable taking and that's something we haven't had in a long time. Our late game shot making has been HORRIBLE because defense clamp down and no one on our roster could get a glimpse of the basket under that kinda duress. Rudy isn't a great shooter by the percentages but he at least we can put it in his hands and know that his size, length and ball skills will ensure that he can get a decent look at the basket.
I mean no one 'likes' that the dudes percentages have been pretty bad but at this point we gotta realize that it's going to improve and be happy that in the meantime he's still bringing things to the table that are equating to Ws.
@ TGiRU:
1. I didn't say you said clutch only pertains to the last shot. But in the traditional sense, that's what it is. And from that point of view, I didn't mean to harp only on Gay. It's overrated in general. But on Gay specifically, he's 2-for-2 or something. That's obviously unsustainable. I would be surprised if he even hit half of those by the time it was all said and done. And that applies to every single superstar; players like Kobe and Melo don't even hit 40%. Why? Because they take ridiculously tough ones.
2. Yes, confirmation bias. Maybe not you specifically, but once a player gets branded as clutch, it's like only the makes get remembered. A lot of it is because of the media. Game winners get replayed over and over usually; nobody makes highlight reels of misses. Once your narrative gets set by the media, it's really hard to shake.
3. I never said anything about a superstar going iso. I specifically said great play call leading to an open shot from a superstar. Like ball movement. That thing every coach loves from minutes 1 to 45. In the pecking order of things, it goes open shot from a superstar > open shot from anybody else > hero ball attempt by a superstar.
re: Raptors being .500 in close games, sure. Yes, they'd be right there in the playoff hunt in the East. And? I never said they were terrible and couldn't make the playoffs.
I really think the entire argument is getting really obscured because different meanings of "clutch" are being interchanged freely everywhere, haha. For the record, I think clutch does exist - but not at all in the traditional sense. There is definitely merit to players being calm under pressure, but there is no magic ability to hit shots late in close games. Of course you want to put the ball in the hands of your best players, but you should be doing that right from tipoff. The goal is always to get a good shot, no matter who it's coming from. When LeBron got nailed for passing it to a wide open Donyell Marshall who missed a three, that's dumb. Jordan hits Kerr who makes the three and everyone praises him for trusting his teammates. When Kobe rises up over two defenders and hits a fadeaway, that's still a terrible shot and there was almost definitely a better shot at that moment in time. Everything is so results oriented and that's a terrible way to analyze anything.
Is it too much to expect Gay to do those other shit but not take 10-15 terrible shots a game while shooting 35%?
Gay shot 42% tonight. I'm not angry though, because he hit that big 3 to really seal the game, and some other buckets down the stretch. Also, during the 2nd, he became very aggressive when the team went cold.

Also, I would like to make the point that Rudy Gay plays within the offense. Rarely demands the ball - which might be a good or bad thing - and he takes shots when it comes to him. I like it. Although, whenever the play breaks, he usually is able to do something good.

I think the moral is here even when he is frustrated (like he was tonight) he canstill more often than not make positives happen. Rudy was really irritated tonight and thats no understatement.
Hit 3 of 6 three points
8 rebounds
3 steals
took a lot of attention off DeMar
I have no problem with him shooting 10/25 - especially when 3 of those shots were fouls
Gay has had a tremendously positive impact on Demars game, whether by way of drawing attention, leading by example or starting a competition, or all three I don't know and don't care. Demar has picked up his game since he got his Gay companion.
Lovin' it.
Since Gay has joined this team, we play games as if we are supposed to win. I love how we can play terribly and STILL come out on top. We used to have to play near impeccable basketball just to get it close near the 4th!!
If we can win 5 straight with Gay being sub-50% FG, then I cant wait for what we can do when Rudy has an efficient game!
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
I'd rather someone else (like Bargs, Lucas, Amir or Ross) take those shots and he does the other stuff like rebounding and playing def when he's cold.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
His PER also seems to be risen with every game
How about we look at his individual stats in comparison from Memphis, to Toronto.
Memphis: 17.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 2.6 assists, on 78% free throw shooting, 41% from the field, and 31% from 3.
Toronto in 8 games: 20.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 steals, 2.7 assists on 86% free throw shooting, 38% from the field, and 19% from 3.
I do admit, his 3-point shooting has been quite atrocious, and his field goal percentage has gone down, but his overall production has increased, the minutes have increased since arriving in Toronto at 38 minutes (which is a good thing, because he adds a certain element not measured by stats - Leadership), and a major attribute that this team was extremely desperate for, and that was shot creation, and a late game option.
Rudy Gay hit 2 game-winners in 8 games as a Toronto Raptor, and even when he's having a sub-par performance shooting wise, or having foul trouble, he is able to impact the game on different ways, such as guarding the best player on the opposition, rebounding, attracting defense. This guy has truly made an impact.Just my two cents, or three cents, or four cents or whatever from a piece I wrote up on my blog.His qualities have been a plus for this team, more specifically, his leadership. It feels quite good as a fan, to see the team fall behind to your best player, and not your best player to fall behind a role player who acts as the leader. Those qualities of leadership is what Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Chris Bosh, and Andrea Bargnani have failed to do in the past in their Raptor uniforms.

Maybe it's impossible to feel exactly the same way as another person, but it's possible for people to care about one another and to place their hearts as close together as they can manage. I'm sure that's what it means to make your hearts as one.
Basic Information
Name: 井上織姫 Inoue Orihime
Nickname: オレンジ色の髪のプリンセス The Orange Haired Princess
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Clan: N/A
Orihime is a teenager of average height. She has brown eyes and long, waist-length burnt orange hair. Her most noticeable physical trait is her slender yet surprisingly curvaceous figure for a teenager, especially in terms of her large breasts. She wears her hair in bangs tucked behind her ears with hairpins, which she only removes to sleep, as they are worn in the memory of her brother. Orihime initially wears her hair with a full but parted fringe before pulling most of her bangs behind her ears as she was ready to leave for Sunagakure. Seventeen months after she went to Sunagakure, Orihime's hair becomes fuller and wavier. Her bangs naturally frame her face without her hair clips and also hang over her ears. She stops wearing hair clips and instead keeps them clipped onto the left collar of her ninja uniform.
Orihime is friendly, humorous in her own way, sensitive, caring, and kind. She comes off as naive and rather clueless, which is at odds with her exceptionally high marks in the Kumogakure ninja academy. She studies hard because when her grades drop, she receives less financial support from her relatives.

Background Information
Orihime was born and lives by herself in Kirigakure , and is supported by a distantly related aunt living elsewhere. Previously, she lived with her older brother, Sora, who was fifteen years older than her. She and her brother were raised by a drunken father and a prostitute mother, who always argued and beat their children. Fearing that their parents would kill Orihime, in the March that Sora turned eighteen, he ran away with Orihime heading to Konohagakure, who was three years old, and raised her from then on.
For six years, Orihime and Sora lived in harmony together in Konohagakure despite the fact that Orihime was bullied in Konoha's ninja academy because of her unusual hair color. One day, Sora gave Orihime a pair of hairpins. However, Orihime refused to wear them because she said they were childish. On the same day, Sora was wounded in a battle between him and 2 other Konohagakure ninja and died in the Konohagakure clinic. Orihime has worn the hairpins ever since. After he died, Orihime prayed for him everyday. A year after Sora died, Orihime met Tatsuki and the amount of days she prayed for him diminished. After graduating from the ninja academy, she stopped praying for him and instead talked about Ichigo before she left and when she returned from school. She wanted to show Sora that she was happy and that he did not have to worry about her. Tatsuki defended her from the bullies. They became best friends.
She initially appears with Tatsuki walking through the academy corridor, discussing her odd tastes in food, which her best friend does not share. A distracted Ichigo Kurosaki collides with her and knocks her to the ground. After he apologizes, she acts strangely and begins to make excuses while fleeing the scene. Later, she is seen at her home being watched by one of the ninjas that killed her brother, Sora. The next day, Ichigo and Rukia Kuchiki come across Orihime as she is walking home from purchasing groceries for dinner. When they find her, it is evident she has been in some sort of accident although she appears unsure if she was attacked or not. Despite this, Rukia notices a strange bruise on her leg which she later reveals was made by the ninja. This is confirmed when that ninja attacks Ichigo, who identifies him as the killer of Orihime's brother.
Meanwhile, Orihime has Tatsuki over for dinner, revealing more of her crush when she becomes distracted by the thought of Ichigo's previous offer to walk her home. After dinner, both girls begin hearing loud noises after Orihime's teddy rips and falls from its shelf. It is then that ninja attacks Orihime and Tatsuki. Horrified, Orihime witnesses the ninja attack her best friend, who becomes scared and confused, even when Orihime touches her Ichigo soon arrives to attack the ninja but still hesitates in finishing him off, being flung from the building in the process. the ninja then reveals his true identity to Orihime. Again, Ichigo hesitates and loses his sword as a result. the ninja attacks Orihime and she aimlessly run around evading his attacks. Finally Ichigo retrieves his sword and sends a vertical blow to the ninja cutting him in half and killing him.
While both Tatsuki and Orihime's memories are shaky after the incident, this event enables them to start developing their own abilities. She once again encounters another Kirigakure ninja when Uryū lures a massive number to Konohagakure for his challenge to Ichigo. At this time she tries to get her friends to run quickly from the academy, in actuality, to run away from the ninja that was stalking them that they couldn't see. The ninja, Numb Chandelier, uses his genjutsu ability to control various students and forces them to attack Orihime, with a shocked Chizuru Honshō unable to prevent her left hand from clenching itself around Orihime's neck. The classmates begin surrounding Orihime and begin gripping her when Tatsuki arrives to defend her
from the onslaught, confused by the actions of her fellow students. When Tatsuki tries to fend off the assaults and protect Orihime, she is controlled as well with one of the ninja's seeds implanted within her. Seeing Tatsuki in tears brings back old memories of the days when Orihime was bullied for the color of her hair and when Tatsuki saved her, thus Orihime decides it is time for her to protect Tatsuki in return for their friendship. This desire forces a change in Orihime whose powers begin to manifest for the first time as she declares that the ninja made a mistake in hurting her friends. Orihime then moves at very fast speed as the ninja finds her vanished in the thin air and in a second the ninja dies by a Kunai at the back of his neck at utilized by Inoue, Kisuke Urahara takes her and Yasutora Sado to his Place, where he explains their powers to them and gets them through a training to control and master their abilities and the basics for ninjutsu and weapons, in which later Inoue decided to train her hardest to avenge her brother's death and kill the ninjas responsible for his death.

According to People, Nikki Reed thinks Rob's lure is because "Rob is sort of feminine looking and I think young girls like boys that look like women".
Oh, Nikki, I'm no "young girl" (27) and Rob is no "boy" (alllllll man!) but he still makes me melt!
However, despite the fact he's *smouldering, Rob is... (don't hate me) "odd" looking - beautiful yes, but in a decidedly odd way!
Letters To Rob explained it best with their post "What is it about Rob Pattinson" - check this excerpt:
Moon: Seriously, what is it about this boy?! Like really what is it?!
UC: I know! I dunno!
Moon: Is it that he played Edward??
UC: I mean, NO! I don't think so. I mean. It helps, but…
Moon: of course
UC: He doesn't look like Edward on the Remember Me set. He's not being Edward
Moon: he's pretty hot
UC: Let's discuss this
Moon: yes let's break down the allure of Rob:
Breaking it DownOk so obviously the physical- he's tall, good looking, great hair, but he's not like the hottest man ever, right? Like if I saw him in real life and he was a regular dude…
UC: No. Not Ever.
Moon: I would think he was cute and stuff but I wouldn't lose my shit.
Personally I think there's some very delicate equation for Rob's hottness along the lines of:
sex hair + bedroom eyes + musician fingers_______________________________ x jawesomenessadorkableness

The numbers are what they are.
The Raptors did 'less bad' with Calderon off the floor. The Suns did MUCH worse with Nash off the floor.
Calderon's opponents had a higher PER than him and above NBA average. Nash's opponents had a lower PER than him and a lower than NBA average.
Calderon had a much lower win percentage compared to Nash.
