Most of the publicity about the Boston Celtics will focus on the Big Three: Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. The Celtics will rely on this trio to carry a majority of the scoring. The player who may make the winning difference could be Rajon Rondo.
The starting matchup will be Rajon Rondo against Derek Fisher. What Rajon Rondo gives up in experience to Derek Fisher, he makes up in youth and speed. If Rajon Rondo can move the ball into the paint, he will make Kevin Garnett even more dangerous. Further, it will allow Ray Allen just a bit more time to release his shots from near or beyond the three point line.
If Rajon Rondo cannot be a constant and consistent scoring threat, Kevin Garnett will see much more double coverage. Even after two years as a professional basketball player, Rajon Rondo knows that reputations are made in the playoffs. And a series between the Lakers and the Celtics will occupy the biggest stage. It will be a well watched ‘final exam’ for Rajon Rondo.

Zackary Villeneuve has a very cool grandfather. His grandfather made him a browser. And, of course, it is called the ‘Zac browser’:
“John LeSieur is in the software business, so he took particular interest when computers seemed mostly useless to his 6-year-old grandson, Zackary. The boy has autism, and the whirlwind of options presented by PCs so confounded him that he threw the mouse in frustration.”

In the process, Mr LeSieur must have learned much about autism. His efforts to help his grandson has a wide range of application for those with autism and other communication challenges. Best of all, the Zak Browser is free. Kudos to Mr LeSieur; his love for Zackary and his tackling Zackary’s computer problem will benefit so many people.

Blame Flip. The Detroit Pistons management does. And Flip Saunders was fired from his coaching position:
“The Detroit Pistons announced Tuesday that they would not bring Pistons coach Flip Saunders back for his final season despite the fact that he led the team to three consecutive Eastern Conference finals.”
link: Flip out: Pistons have a parting of the ways with Saunders
By most standards, Flip Saunders had an enviable record as the Detroit Piston coach. The team just didn’t go as far as management would have liked. Flip Saunders loses his job. It’s a tough business, even for millionaire coaches.

“How much do you weigh? Your air carrier may want to know:
“Imagine two scales at the airline ticket counter, one for your bags and one for you. The price of a ticket depends upon the weight of both.
That may not be so far-fetched.”

If the airlines proceed with such a scheme, undoubtedly there would be lawsuits about discrimination. Imagine if other industries adopted this same pricing criterion. Bigger people would be charged more than small people when buying exactly the same shirt in different sizes. The rationale would be that the large size takes more material and was more costly to transport.
If the air carriers adopt this plan, there would be one sector that would have a significant increase in professional work. That sector would be lawyers.
