Question 3: Smoke thickening in battle for medical marijuana Rally in opposition to legalizing pot for medicinal purposes turns into debate Polls show significant support for ballot question in Bay State

NICOLAUS CZARNECKI/METRO

The smoke is getting thicker in the battle over a ballot question that would legalize medical marijuana in Massachusetts.

Opponents and proponents of the ballot measure met in front of the State House yesterday during a rally that was organized by people and organizations against the question. It eventually turned into an outdoor debate on the issue.

“This has nothing to do with medical marijuana and everything to do with legalizing marijuana,” said State Rep. Martin Walsh, of Dorchester, in front of dozens of questioning opponents that included doctors, recovering addicts, police chiefs and Norfolk’s district attorney.

Question 3 would allow for the legalization of medical marijuana, and proponents say the measure is about being compassionate and helping those with certain illnesses deal with chronic pain. But opponents argued yesterday that the “flawed” bill would lead to more crime and have negative impacts for addicts and communities.

Opponents also argued that the bill is a step that would make it easier and faster for the drug to be legalized in Massachusetts.

“This bill will lead us to le-

But proponents who showed up to the opposition rally said opponents are trying to instill fear in voters.

“It has nothing to do with anything other than giving safe and legal access to Massachusetts residents who are sick and suffering and dying,” said Karen Hawkes, a retried state police trooper who left her job after suffering a stroke. She said vaporized marijuana “gave me my life back.”

Matt Anders, president of the Suffolk University chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said the opposition is “not reading the bill properly” if they claim it is a step toward legalizing marijuana altogether.

“They are basing their claims on experiences that happened in other states that have laws which differ significantly from the Massachusetts proposition,” Anders said.

Proponents of Question 3 say the proposed legislation would create a felony for anyone who tries to fraudulently use it.

According to the index, Boston, San Jose and Salt Lake City lead the nation with the most licenseable clean technologies coming out of their university labs, per capita. With relatively solid performance in buildings, transportation and electricity, the city’s claim to clean-tech leadership comes from its role as “a powerhouse of technology development and venture capital activity.” METRO

Despite stern warnings from a federal judge, the lawyer for alleged fugitive mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger said he wants the trial pushed back again.

Attorney J. W. Carney Jr., said during a court hearing yesterday that he intends to file a motion this week for a continuance. Earlier this year he filed a similar motion and succeeded in delaying the trial from November to March 2013.

However, in recent hearings, Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler has sternly told Carney that the trial would go forward in March after hearing him cry foul of prosecutors handing over documents and a mountain of evidence.

Carney raised the same is-

sues yesterday during a hearing in federal court in South Boston that sometimes resembled an elementary school classroom rather than a courtroom.

Carney and Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Kelly sparred over documents being accessible and which side is doing the

work for the other.

“This is why we cannot possibly be ready for trial,” Carney said.

Bowler told Carney his reasoning was beginning to sound like a broken record.

“We are a broken record,” Carney said, repeating himself for effect.

Kelly took issue with Carney trying to further delay the trial, even calling some of Carney’s actions, such as a written status report, “kind of a sham.”

Despite her warning that the trial would move forward, Bowler said she would review Carney’s continuance motion.

MICHAEL NAUGHTON

Sudden meeting Because Carney and prosecutors could not seem to agree on how certain documents and evidence is being handled and organized, Bowler kept the formal court hearing short and ordered the two sides to meet immediately after it yesterday.

“I expect you to be civil.

You’re both highly experienced career attorneys; I expect this to be a positive process,” Bowler said. “I don’t want to hear that this meeting results in any kind of a blowup or anybody walking out.”

The man found dead in the Financial District last weekend had just moved to Boston weeks ago and was remembered as a promising real estate agent, his employers said yesterday.

Steve DiRoberto, 27, a Worcester native, was found unconscious near Franklin and Broad streets by officers on patrol in the area just after 2 a.m. on Saturday. Police said Sunday they believe he was likely “involved in a physical altercation,” but that the cause of death is still being investigated.

DiRoberto worked as a real estate agent at Re/Max Advantage in Worcester for nearly two years, said Marcia Head, the agency’s owner. While there he helped start a rental division and just weeks ago he moved to Boston, she said.

“He was a great kid. He had a great smile. He had aspirations and dreams he could make happen because he had

DiRoberto recently worked for Newbury Street real estate company Boston Luxe Real Estate.

A man who answered the phone at the company yesterday directed a reporter to the statement on the company’s website.

“Our family lost one of its brightest. And it was senseless. There is no lesson to take from it. Just a void where the person was. A man with high aspirations, large dreams and the work ethic to get there,” the statement read. “The pain of losing such an amazing and gifted person like DiRo is simply indescribable. Our remorse will be endless.”

The company said they planned to promote DiRoberto at the beginning of the year.

Police had not confirmed his identity as of press time.

Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life yesterday after the International Cycling Union ratified the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s sanctions against the American.

Genealogy website operator Ancestry.com agreed to be acquired for $1.6 billion by a group led by Europe-based private equity firm Permira Advisors LLC, four months after it put itself up for sale following the cancellation of a TV show based on its research.

The company, whose website helps users trace their family roots, will be taken private at $32 per share, a 10 percent premium to the stock’s Friday closing price of $29.18.

Shares of the company rose to $31.49 in early trading on the Nasdaq yesterday. They have risen 17 percent since June 5 when the company said it was looking for a buyer.

Obama touts peace while Romney assails ‘tumult’

The verdict

JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Mitt Romney said Barack Obama doesn’t have a clear plan for stabilizing the Middle East, while the president said his Republican challenger’s policies have been “all over the map” as the two met for their last debate.

Last night’s faceoff at Lynn University, moderated by Bob Schieffer of CBS News, showcased the two rivals’ different paths toward what are often similar goals on foreign policy.

Obama emphasized working with allies to put pressure on adversaries; his Republican rival stressed U.S. military might and said he’d be tougher on Russia, China, Iran and terrorists.

“We can’t kill our way out of this mess,” Romney said, after listing what he described as growing threats in Syria, Libya, Mali, Egypt and Iran. While he congratulated Obama for the raid that killed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, he said, “we must have a comprehensive strategy” to reject extremism.

Obama went after Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, for not having a clear vision for the world and for once saying Russia was the biggest geopolitical foe facing the U.S. “I know you haven’t been in a position to actually execute foreign policy, but every time you’ve offered an opinion, you’ve been wrong,” Obama

“When it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s.”

Analyst: Last debate was a ‘wash’

“We can’t kill our way out of this mess. We’re going to have to put in place a very comprehensive and robust strategy to help the world of Islam and other parts of the world to reject this radical violent extremism.”

Obama, above, and Romney clash at the third and final presidential debate.

The president also said he’s succeeded at his No. 1 goal.

“My first job as commanderin-chief is to keep the American people safe and that’s what we’ve done over the last four years,” Obama said as the event

Hopefully last night’s third and final presidential debate was more nuanced than the “which candidate threatens countries with the most gravitas and swagger” contest that foreign-policy debates too often become.

But even at its most substantive, it’s unlikely the debate challenged the candidates on the most disturbing parts of our foreign policy, about which they both agree.

WHY AREN’T S DRONES TOPIC OF DEBATE?

o far, President Barack Obama has authorized nearly 300 drone strikes in Pakistan alone — six times the number of strikes conducted by the Bush administration. Since 2004, drone strikes in Pakistan have killed between 474 to 881 innocent civilians, including 176 children, according to a nine-month-long study conducted by Stanford and NYU law schools.

The study also revealed that, at best, these drone strikes have killed fewer than 100 high-level targets.

Despite the Obama administration’s claims that it will “only authorize a [drone] strike if we have a high degree of confidence that innocent civilians will not

There were no clear winners in the third and final debate, according to Larry Ceisler, a longtime political analyst in Philadelphia.

But Obama showed confidence and command of foreign policy that often comes after serving four years in the White House, Ceisler said.

“This was a wash,” he said.

“I don’t think there were winners or losers, but the president showed a command. He was very sure of himself.”

W

orst of all is the practice of “double tapping,” where a second drone strike targets the same location soon after the first strike, killing or maiming first responders attempting to rescue those injured by the first attack. The use of double taps creates a despicable kind of psychological torment. The family of those who have been injured or killed in the first attack must resist the overwhelming urge to rush in to rescue their loved ones, often for hours, out of fear of a possible second attack.

The legal justification for these attacks is tenuous at best. The administration has killed at least three U.S. citizens in targeted killings, none of whom were charged with any crime, and without any discernible due process subject to review by another branch of government. Yet, for the part of Obama’s foreign policy perhaps most deserving of criticism, you’ll find no disagreement from Mitt Romney.

Talking points Has Lohan reached Spears levels?

It looks like the folks behind the attempted intervention for Lindsay Lohan last week had good reason to be concerned about the troubled actress.

Several friends of Lohan insist to Radar Online that she’s partying again and out of control, and her dad, Michael Lohan, is reportedly eager to put her under a conservatorship similar to the one Britney Spears’ father used. “People who party with

Lindsay have confirmed her excessive partying and getting wasted,” a source says. “Even some of the people who have enabled her partying have come clean and revealed what’s going on.”

Skrillex were in attendance, the birthday girl — dressed up as a vampire — only had eyes for John Mayer, whose elaborate zombie-hunter costume even involved a prosthetic nose and chin. “They were in their own world. She didn’t even talk to her friends much,” a source says. “It was just her and John. She’s obsessed with him. She said hello to people but then went right back to him.”

Katy Perry will make us cry if she wants to Katy Perry’s birthday isn’t until Thursday — but she apparently couldn’t wait to get the party started, throwing a lavish Halloween-themed costume birthday party at Los Angeles’ Magic Castle on Friday, according to Us Weekly. And while guests including Kristen Stewart, Neil Patrick Harris and

Jay-Z and Beyonce have friends in high places.

New dad Jay-Z is getting some ace parenting advice from a very distinguished source: President Barack Obama. When

the rapper and wife Beyonce met with the president and first lady last month, apparently Obama wanted to know how things were going with 10-month-old daughter Blue Ivy, the president says in an interview with Cleveland’s Z107.9. “I made sure that Jay-Z was helping Beyonce out,” Obama says. “And not leaving it all with mom and the mother-in-law.” The Obamas apparently have a great rapport with Jay-Z and Beyonce. “I’ve gotten to know these guys over the first several years,” Obama says. “They’re good people. They’re down-to-earth.

Beyonce could not be sweeter to Michelle and the girls.”

ighting for the rights of LGBTQ Americans have initiated kiss-ins, parades, protests, marches and a wide array of fiery and bitter polemics from all sides of the political spectrum. But the public battles often begin with a quieter reality: the first time an LGBT person comes out to his or her parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming Around: Parenting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Kids,â&#x20AC;? a new book by Dr. Anne Dohrenwend, seeks to make that first conversation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the subsequent ones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as relaxed and positive as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to give people a

place to start,â&#x20AC;? Dohrenwend says of her book, which is written for liberal and conservative parents alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Often people do come around. After accepting and learning and loving your child who is gay, it breaks down the stereotypes.â&#x20AC;?

For Steve Scott, there was a long pause at the other end of the line 11 years ago when he called to tell his religious parents that he was gay. Now, Scott is a member of the Gay Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chorus of Los Angeles and an active participant in the push for gay rights in California. For Scott, the conversation that began with

Jami Attenberg’s “The Middlesteins” follows three generations of one family.

Red onion on warm rye bread.

Salty liverwurst. These are the foods that Edie dreams about when we first meet her at age 5 in Jami Attenberg’s new novel “The Middlesteins.” Even as a little girl, she is “a cement block of flesh,” Attenberg writes. As the reader gets to know her, she doesn’t thin out.

“The Middlesteins” revolves around the four Middlesteins (Edie, her husband Richard, her daughter Robin and son Benny) with Franzen-esque layers. It’s a character-driven work, but food is their motivator. “It is a really tricky topic; it makes people feel nervous,” says Attenberg of the Middlesteins’

Attenberg’s ‘Middlesteins’ offers Food for thought complicated relationship with eating. “Food makes you feel so good, and it’s necessary. But it’s also one of those things that people can abuse. If they overeat or under-eat, it’s there for all to see. It’s a very present addiction.”

Attenberg, the author of three previous books, says “The Middlesteins” was the easiest one to write — she had a draft written in four months. So which is the bigger obsession for her, food or writing?

She laughs: “I keep saying that if I could have all the time back that I spend thinking about what I’m going to eat for dinner, I’d have 10 more novels written.”

The House always wins Swedish House Mafia’s brand new “Until Now” has just been released in two versions, including a deluxe edition that clocks in at about an hour and 20 minutes. Listening to “Until Now” is like a space ex-

ploration in which you spot things you recognize as you leave the Earth, but they look a little different from your new perspective. Then the Swedes take you to regions of the dance floor so deep that the songs feel like black holes.

Recognizable bursts include cameos from Coldplay, Usher and Florence + the Machine; deeper cuts feature collaborations with Miike Snow and Steve Aoki. We’re streaming parts of the album online at www.metro.us.

SIDNEY BALDWIN

atthew Fox underwent a startling physical transformation, dropping down to nearly zero-percent body fat to play the psychotic assassin Picasso in “Alex Cross,” so it’s understandable that he’s been getting a lot of diet and exercise questions. We wanted to know about some other things — like why he isn’t going back to TV anytime soon and how things are going with the reportedly troubled “World War Z.” On that last topic, in fact, he’d like to clear a few things up.

How tired are you of getting diet and exercise questions?

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2012

[Laughs] Yeah. I fortunately braced myself for the fact that that was going to be one of the things. ... So I’m not too tired about it. It was a lot of hard work, man. I don’t watch any playback or rushes or anything like that — I still haven’t seen the movie. I think down the road I always hit a point where I’m like, “OK, now I can watch this.”

Where are you as far as watching your own stuff?

Well, I mean I’ve seen “Speed

Racer” a couple of times. I watched the first half-season of the first year of “Lost.” And I’ve seen “Vantage Point,” I’ve seen “We Are Marshall.” I haven’t seen any of the three that are going to be coming out. I haven’t seen “Alex Cross” or “World War Z” or “Emperor.”

I’m looking forward to seeing “World War Z.”

I am too, man. I will go see “World War Z” right when it comes out because I’m barely in the movie. If it works and it’s a trilogy, then my character ... will become really a sort of counterpoint for Brad Pitt’s character in movies two and three. I’m so hopeful that it works because I really had a great experience working on that film. It was a great group of people and fun to just kill zombies and play a Navy SEAL and all that stuff, but part of it was just that I wasn’t in it that much so I got to show up to these insane sets — it was such a big production — and not feel like it was all ... riding on me.

Are some people’s opinions more equal than others?

RE: “WHAT? A POLITICIAN TAKING CREDIT?” / “PART OF AMERICAN PUBLIC SEEING RED” (METRO, OCT. 22) The letters

page of Oct. 22 was most illuminating. One one hand, you printed Shana Cuddy’s letter, in which she raised a specific argument about Mr. Romney’s “binders of women,” and supported with easily verifiable facts. On the other hand, you also printed John Sangenario’s point-free, content-free ragefest, in which he hurled hyperbole and bombast like a monkey flinging its poo. Just like the monkey, I’m sure it must have made Mr. Sangenario feel better. To carry the analogy further, printing letters like his just creates a mess

that responsible adults must clean up. You do us a disservice when you print letters that create much heat, but little light. ERIC BLOCK, VIA E-MAIL John Sangenario should stick to facts instead of vitriolic rhetoric. The destruction of our lives started with a Republican congress repealing Glass-Steagall allowing banks to gamble and let their losses be covered by the American people. We already have a “ruling class,” and it’s trying to buy the election.

DAVID GRISWOLD

To those who appear to be die-hard conservatives: With all due respect, what exactly has President Obama done to have a person like John Sangenario state in his e-mail to the Metro paper, “Did you

ever think you would see a time in America when our president so despises the principles and ideals our country was founded on that he is willing to destroy the lives of its citizens by creating unconscionable dependency on a few ‘ruling class’ socialist”?

What evidence, policy or position can you cite to support this claim? DARRYL PEARSON,

McGovern was ahead of his time. McGovern’s platform, including ending the Vietnam War, also called for spending the billions wasted on the war to be used for rebuilding America along with saving lives by bringing the troops home sooner rather than later. McGovern was too proud to emphasize his military experience as a decorated World War II bomber pilot against Nixon, who attempted to portray him as soft on national defense.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. Be mindful of all those little incidental expenditures when socializing with friends who are in better shape financially than you are.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Have faith in those to whom you delegate some important assignments. If you insist upon looking over their shoulders and analyzing their every move, you’ll hurt their performance.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. Be a bit skeptical of some insider information regardless of its source, because it could easily be overrated.

Don’t take everything that is told to you as the gospel truth.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Treating others in a generous fashion is a commendable attribute, but don’t be stupid about it. Just because someone has his or her hand out, it doesn’t mean they deserve it.

Aries March 21-April 19. Even if you believe you have some excellent financial advice to offer another, keep it to yourself. Should the person misuse what you say and suffer a loss, you’ll be blamed.

Taurus April 20-May 20. Don’t get upset if it becomes impossible to sway a supposedly key person to your view in a controversial matter.

You’ll end up counting your blessings in the long run.

Gemini May 21-June 20. Instead of looking for shortcuts, it behooves you to operate along conventional lines. Easy ways out won’t enhance your effectiveness.

Cancer June 21-July 22. Expenditures that require a large cash outlay aren’t likely to cause you any kind of problem. Strangely, however, when dealing with the nickel-and-dime stuff, you could get into trouble.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. Should you run into someone with whom you recently exchanged hot words, tread lightly. You’ll need to treat this encounter delicately, because it is not fully resolved as yet.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22. If you insist upon playing favorites, someone is going to get hurt. Applying double standards when dealing with friends could cause you to end up looking bad. BERNICE BEDE OSOL

understood everything about the wind, the currents. If we were building it today, we’d use different materials, but do it the same way.”

Visitors don wetsuits and, with a waterproof map, explore the ruins — the original breakwater, a Roman shipwreck, Byzantine anchors — in

an underwater museum.

There’s much to see on land as well, including an amphitheater, hippodrome and bathhouse and the foundation of an imposing palace that once jutted into the crashing Mediterranean waves.

After Herod’s death, the city became the local Roman capital (Pontius Pilate was prefect) until the year 640, when it was taken by Arabs, who ruled until the Crusaders came in 1101.

The Crusaders occupied the city on and off until it was taken by the Mamluks in 1261, who left it in ruins. Bosnian Muslim refugees moved there in 1878, later fleeing during the war of 1948. Each community left its signature in city

walls, repaired breakwaters and houses of worship.

And that’s just Caesarea proper. Adjacent to the city’s north side are remains of a Phoenician settlement predating Herod. And nearby — 100 meters off shore and 11 to 12 below sea level — marine archaeologists are uncovering a 10,000- to 11,000-year-old Neolithic settlement. Sharvit explains that the work is brand new and has not been published yet, adding with enthusiasm, “It’s like a puzzle: You find pieces, and try to understand the whole picture. I love working in the sea.”

Q&A

If you go, get a guide Israel is small, but it would take a lifetime to explore it fully. A certified guide is not only your invaluable convoy to the logistics of safe travel in the area, but also to the constantly shifting complexities of its historical and current relationship to the rest of the world. No one understands this better than the affable Michael Bauer, whose educational Galim Tours (www.galimtours.com) are preeminent in Israel.

The promontory palace at Caesarea; before excavations began, fishermen frequently found Roman coins in the sand.

Archaeological must-sees Beit She’arim: Inside hollowed-out limestone caves are hundreds of beautifully carved and inscribed sarcophagi that once held the remains of the 2,200- to 2,400year-old rich and famous.

Masada: In the year 70, about 1,000 fleeing Jews took refuge in a palace in the sky, an aban-

doned settlement atop a high and isolated desert mesa. Romans soldiers built a ramp to reach them — the Jews killed one another and themselves rather than surrender.

Hezekiah’s Tunnel: Almost 2,800 years ago, to stop invading armies from cutting off Jerusalem’s water supply workers carved a tunnel to siphon the Gihon Spring’s water under the city walls. You can walk its dark, narrow and stillgushing path.

Your backpack is full of history books.

Israel is a place that one will never finish studying. The more I learn, I realize there is more to learn.

You lean toward complication rather than simple answers. Why? Any simple answer leads to the next question, which eventually leads to the complexities of faith, science and politics. For those interested in these, Israel is a haven.

What do you love most about the job?

Being in the field exploring and learning with my groups.

I want people to leave with a love and appreciation for this country.

Coaches offer few excuses for struggling secondary Secondary establishes itself as the worst in the NFL Belichick, Patricia with few answers for allowing Sanchez, Wilson to light up defense Rams QB Sam Bradford licking his chops JIM ROGASH/GETTY IMAGES

It took a last-second, game-tying field goal and then another one in overtime to escape the Jets on Sunday.

Let that sink in for a second.

The Patriots should have come out firing on all cylinders after the Seattle game — they didn’t. Yes, they won, which shouldn’t go overlooked, but for order to be restored, a blowout was necessary.

Go ahead, call us spoiled.

Instead, it was more of the same. The Patriots offense was down to earth. The secondary was torched (by Mark Sanchez, nonetheless). And for the second straight week, the Patriots blew a doubledigit fourth quarter lead to an offensively challenged opponent.

It makes you wonder: are the Patriots just not that great? Are they just one of the other (mediocre) AFC teams?

At 4-3 overall, it’s clear the offense can no longer make up for the sorry excuse for defense they’ve played over the last few years.

But Patriots coach Bill Belichick and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia don’t want to talk about the past, and aren’t willing (or don’t really know how) to explain lapses and why the secondary gives up huge yardage plays through the air.

Kyle Arrington and Devin McCourty have rarely been in position to make plays in the secondary this season.

“When we had as many big plays as we did in the Seattle game, it became more of a battle cry.”

PATRIOTS HEAD COACH BILL BELICHICK ON THE SECONDARY GIVING UP BIG PLAYS

“It’s definitely a point of emphasis every week.

There’s no defense that’s designed to give up 50-yard pass completions or anything like that,” Belichick said. “That’s really the worst thing that can happen defensively, is for the offense to get all their yardage or score on one play and not make them drive the ball and execute a number of plays and third down and red area and goal line and all those situations.”

It obviously happened against Seattle, but if you’re looking for a bright spot in the secondary, they didn’t allow a long TD against the Jets.

“They have to drive it and it gives you a chance to stop them and we did that a couple times and came close to blocking one of the field goals,” Belichick said. “You make your opponent work to get their points and work to

Fallout from Week 7: Packers CB Charles Woodson broke his right collarbone against the Rams Sunday and will be out six weeks.

Kansas City QB Brady Quinn will take over for Matt Cassel starting quarterback for the 1-5 Chiefs.

Jets head coach Rex Ryan defended the team’s play-calling in Sunday’s OT loss to the Patriots stating, “Saying we played scared, I think that’s somebody that probably never played the game in his life.”

Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw said his screaming match with Tom Coughlin during Sunday’s win over Washington was about wanting the Giants to run the ball more.

get their yardage.”

Still, allowing 328 yards to Sanchez isn’t ideal, and more games like it could end up being the team’s ultimate downfall.

“I think it really comes down to us just trying to get better every week and that’s what we’re trying to do,” Patricia said.

Keep trying.

Barbosa a pleasant surprise Ainge in line for GM of the year if most of moves pan out Celtics already with deepest guard rotation in NBA Brazilian guard will help shoulder load with Bradley still hurt

New Celtics guard Leandro Barbosa

It was a surprise when the Celtics announced the release of Dionte Christmas, a guard who shined in the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer league and signed a partially guaranteed deal with the team shortly after.

But it made a little

more sense once the Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announced the signing of guard Leandro Barbosa, a nine-year veteran and former Sixth Man of the Year award-winner.

The 29-year-old Barbosa joins a stacked guard unit already consisting of Rajon Rondo, Courtney Lee, Jason Terry, and Avery Bradley (when he returns from injury).

The Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacked a true backup point guard to Rondo after Key-

on Dooling retired. Doc Rivers hinted in the past that the Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed to address the issue, and while Barbosa isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly a "true" point guard, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the job done.

So what does Barbosa bring? Well, like Terry, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instant offense. Allowing Barbosa to man the point will free up Terry to play at shooting guard. Those two with Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, and Chris

Wilcox/Darko Milicic make up a second unit that could compete with some teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first units.

For his career, Barbosa averages 12.5 points on 46 percent shooting from the field including 39 percent from 3-point range. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a true bench spark, having never started more than 18 games since his rookie season despite averaging

about 25 minutes per game.

Last year, he was traded from the Raptors to the Pacers and saw his minutes reduced from 22.5 to 19.8. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to see minutes that high for him in Boston, assuming players are healthy. Ten to 12 minutes per game sounds just about right.
