Celts’ loss dashes last hope for busy spring Business around the Garden quiets quickly after playoff runs end TONY LEE tony.lee@metro.us
After both the top-seeded Bruins and defending champion Celtics were ousted from the playoffs in the span of just four days, local sports fans are left to wonder: Now what? But what about those who live and work near TD Banknorth Garden, which has been transformed overnight from the best party in

“There is a tremendous sense of disappointment because it happened so quickly with both teams.” Bob O’Brien, Downtown North Association town to a land of confusion? “There is a tremendous sense of disappointment because it happened so quickly with both teams,” said Bob O’Brien, executive director of the Downtown North Association. From a business standpoint, O’Brien roots for both teams to win every series in seven games.
So, too, do local bars and restaurants, which anticipated a few more weeks of packed houses. “We’re now predicting a pretty quiet May and June,” said Robbie Donovan, assistant manager of The Harp. Still, the B’s and C’s reached the second round of the playoffs in the same year for the first
time since 1992, three years before the new Garden opened, offering a “feeling we haven’t had in a long time,” O’Brien said. Unlike some fans, and with many neighborhood improvement projects slated for completion before next season, arena personnel remain focused on the positives. “For any arena to host 14 postseason games, that speaks to a great year,” said John Wentzell, president of TD Banknorth Garden.

Senate debates budget cuts; cops plead for funds TONY LEE tony.lee@metro.us
Working together
The gains made by law enforcement in combating youth and gang violence over the past few years will be lost if funding for the Shannon Grant program is slashed, officials said yesterday at a State House rally.
The Shannon Community Safety Initiative is the first statewide effort to fuse law enforcement agencies with community organizations in an approach to curb youth and gang violence. There are 39 municipalities involved, encompassing 43 percent of the state’s population.
Boston, in particular, could be hit hard after years of progress — the Hub has seen a 16 percent decrease in homicides and a 9 percent drop in aggravated assaults since the grant program began in 2006, fostering community collaborations to prevent youth violence. “Without [the Shannon Grants] we’ll take a step backwards,” said Boston Police Superintendent Bruce Holloway. The Senate is debating proposed budget cuts this
week and likely voting on several measures by tomorrow. The Ways and Means Committee cut out all of the $13.1 million Shannon Grant money in a preliminary budget released last week. Sen. James E. Timilty, chair of the public safety committee, has filed an amendment to save the funding. “There are many line items,” Timilty said. “Some are just more important than others.” According to figures compiled by Northeastern

Marzilli wants felony dropped BOSTON. Former state Sen. James Marzilli, accused of sexually harassing four women, is trying to get a charge of attempted indecent assault and battery dropped on grounds that such a crime does not technically exist in Massachusetts. Marzilli’s lawyer has appealed and a judge is asking the Appeals Court to give ruling on the challenge. The crime in question is the only felony charge brought against the former state senator. Marzilli is accused of attempting to touch one woman in a sexually explicit way, in addition to making lewd and suggestive remarks to three other women last June. According to published reports, Marzilli’s trial is on hold until the Appeals Court makes its ruling. METRO

day care goes CONTRIBUTED
CHRISTINA WALLACE christina.wallace@metro.us
When Ben Molloy’s employer asked him to shorten his work week from five days to four because of a drop in business, the young father immediately cut his daughter’s day care hours to save money. When Meg Bowhers’ husband Mike lost his job, the first thing they considered was whether or not to take their son out of day care until he found employment. Families across the state are getting creative in this economy in order to cut back on pricey childcare costs, which can be more than $100 a day. Grandpar-

ents are stepping in, fathers are staying at home full-time and parents are considering night jobs instead. “With our dual family income now cut in half, saving money became our No. 1 goal. We knew anything needed to be an option until my husband could find employment,” said Bowhers, a teacher who lives in Sudbury.

Due to the hard economic times, the state is also strapped and unable to bail out the increasing number of families in a bind. A special notice was posted on the state’s Department of Early Education and Care Web site warning that resources are limited for new parents seeking help for financial assistance with childcare. State officials did not return a call to comment. Right now, the Bowhers family is keeping their son in day care so Mike can devote all his time to searching for a new job but anything is possible in the future, according to Meg Bowhers. “Quite clearly, we would not be able to afford day care without two salaries,” she said.

American Apparel Inc. settled film director Woody Allen’s lawsuit over the company’s use of his image in advertising for $5 million, Allen said yesterday as the case was about to come to trial. The film director sued the clothing company more than a year ago after his image appeared on billboards in New York and Los Angeles. Allen says his reputation was damaged and the image from his film “Annie Hall,” which showed him dressed as a Hasidic Jew, was used without his consent. “Five million dollars is enough to discourage American Apparel or any one else from ever trying such a thing again,” Allen said outside federal court in Manhattan.

The two leaders tried to paper over their differences as Obama waded into the thicket of Middle East diplomacy four months after taking office, but the divisions were hard to ignore between Israel and its superpower ally.
“It is in the interests not only of the Palestinians but also the Israelis, the United States and the international community to achieve a two-state solution,” Obama told reporters with Netanyahu sitting beside him. Netanyahu, who heads a new right-leaning Israeli coalition, reiterated that he
supported self-government for the Palestinians but made no mention of a state, a position underscoring a rare rift. “I did not say two states for two peoples,” Netanyahu said later at a solo briefing with reporters. “We need to deliberate to clarify this. Does it mean a Hamas state? I hope not. So how do I ensure it’s not a Hamas state, an entity that threatens Israel’s security? I think that’s a fundamental question,” Netanyahu said. REUTERS

hen I was in high school the most titillating content on TV was when Barbara Billingsley turned to Hugh Beaumont and said disapprovingly, “Ward, you were awfully hard on the Beaver last night.” In a world where teenagers are “sexting” nude photos of themselves on their cell phones or posting them on Facebook, it seems almost quaint to have the high school yearbook as the source of must-see risque photos, even as subtle as this one; which, according to a spokeswoman for Sickles High School, looks like “a shadow.” Bottom line: The girl brought all this embarrassment on herself by not keeping her stupid legs closed in a posed photograph when only she could feel the breeze.

Clark DeLeon erhaps you’ve heard — Of course you have! Do you not live in America? — about the humiliating incident, involving people that you’d never heard of before, broadcast on national TV. An unidentified junior at Sickles High School in Orchard Park, Fla., went on CNN with her mother to demand that a yearbook photograph revealing the girl’s lack of panties be removed from the yearbook and, furthermore, that all yearbooks already distributed be confiscated, so that all evidence of the existence of the offending photograph can be destroyed. As the pair fumed, the CNN report showed a fuzzed-over image of the photograph, thus ensuring that millions of strangers witness the young girl’s 15 minutes of Sharon Stone/Britney Spears infamy rather than merely hundreds of snickering high school kids. What was she thinking? The mother, that is. The cat, if you will, is out of the bag: Every one of the 2,500 kids at Sickles High School has undoubtedly seen the photo, since it’s been the talk of the campus ever since the yearbooks were distributed last week. And the mother seeks to repress the embarrassing photograph — already exposed by a limited printmedia source like a high school yearbook — by going on a worldwide cable TV network, which promptly flashed her daughter’s secret abound the globe. Very shrewd, Mom. The only more effective way to protect your daughter’s reputation would have been to appeal directly to Jerry Springer. The girl, who said she didn’t wear underwear the day of the yearbook photo because she didn’t want panty lines to show, sat next to her mom on a sofa during the CNN interview. She wore a pair of shorts and sat with one leg tucked underneath her bottom, causing the other leg to open in an unladylike manner in front of the camera. After all this humiliation, she still doesn’t get it.

B’s surgeries Bruins stars Phil Kessel (torn rotator cuff/labrum), left, and David Krejci (hip) need surgeries that could shorten their 2009-10 seasons. METRO
No void after playoff losses The Bruins are finished. The Celtics crapped out. Who cares? Look, this is Boston, land of 1,000 teams and 2,341 championships (both numbers are rough estimations). If you hate outdoor sports, we can’t help you. But if you don’t mind action in cleats rather than skates or Air Jordans, this list will tide you over until next year. METRO/ADAM SMARTSCHAN
The Red Sox The deal: The Sox had the day off yesterday after a six-game West Coast road trip. They’re 22-16, second in the AL East behind the Toronto Blue Jays, but injuries have kept them down recently (5-5 in their last 10). Long-term: KG, who turns 33 today, is locked up longer than anyone else on the roster. He’s got three more years in Boston at $56.4 million. Under the knife: After holding out on right knee surgery with the hope he’d return at some point in the playoffs, Garnett will finally go under the knife, though coach Doc Rivers didn’t know when. “It’s no rush,” Rivers said after the Celtics‚ Game 7 loss to the Magic on Sunday. “His surgery is not going to be anything that’s going to take all summer.” Heart and soul: With that, the Celtics know they have the heart and soul of their team returning in time for next season, and it sounds like he’ll be ready for training camp at the end of September. Garnett averaged 15.8 rebounds and 8.5 rebounds in 57 games this season, the second fewest he has played in his career.
Rest of the Big Three: Paul Pierce has two years and $41.3 million remaining on his contract, and Ray Allen is locked in for one more season at $18.8 million. He’ll be an extremely interesting case during the 2010 offseason, which is a who’s who of NBA free agents — LeBron James, Tracy McGrady, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire and Dirk Nowitzki among them. Perky: Kendrick Perkins, who is probably looking at more surgery on his left shoulder this summer, has two more years at $8.6 million, and Rajon Rondo, above, has one year left at $2.6 million. Rondo will be a restricted free agent after next season, meaning the C’s can match any offer and retain him, but GM Danny Ainge will likely try to tie him up before it gets to that point. Look for Rondo to get a contract extension before next season.
Key off the bench: Brian Scalabrine has one year and $3.4 million remaining on his contract, and Tony Allen is locked in at $2.5 million next season ... though don’t be surprised if the Celtics move him if they try to make an offseason trade. Shooting star: Eddie House, above, will be back if he chooses to pick up his player option of $2.9 million, which seems pretty likely to happen. Rookies: J.R. Giddens ($1 million) and Billy Walker ($736,000) are each signed through next season, and the Celtics have team options on both of them for two seasons after that. The C’s have a team option on Gabe Pruitt next season for $729,000, which is cheap money for a kid with untapped potential. If it works under the salary structure, it’d be a smart move to keep Pruitt around for another season.
No Moore: Let’s start with the simple: Mikki Moore won’t be back with the C’s next year. Tough losses? After that, it’ll be tough for the Celtics, who lose Glen Davis, above, and Leon Powe to free agency. Davis will command a heavy market because of his immense improvement during the postseason, and it’ll be tough for the Celtics to keep him around. After suffering a knee injury in the first round against the Bulls, teams might be scared to open their checkbooks for Powe, so there is a good chance he returns to Boston. Starbury: Point guard Stephon Marbury reshaped his image as a team-first guy but didn’t produce consistent offensive numbers during limited playing time. That will probably limit his market, too. An early prediction: The Celtics re-sign Powe and Marbury but lose Davis.

That’s why the Boston Cannons are upbeat about the new season despite Saturday’s painful 9-8 home loss to the Long Island Lizards. The Cannons were playing without their two leading point-scorers from last year — Matt Poskay and Matt Alrich — but still gave the Lizards all they could handle and held them to single digits in a physical, low-scoring affair. While the team awaits the returns of Poskay and Alrich, it will rely on a defense anchored by fourtime MLL all-star Chris Passavia. Passavia, whose face was bloodied and swollen after Saturday’s game, seemed almost chipper as he spoke of the team’s prospects this year in light of the defensive effort. “In this league, you gotta have a great defense to win ballgames ‌ I think you probably watched two of the better

guide EDUCATION Suffolk’s MS in Accounting & Taxation Really Add Up a special advertising section
Suffolk University’s MS in Accounting (MSA) degree integrates the study of accounting theory with practical professional applications. Suffolk MSA students gain a deep and broad knowledge of accounting, including exposure to International Financial Reporting Standards. In addition, they build a strong foundation in global business management and develop their leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills. The MSA emphasizes the development of a skill set for working accounting and business professionals, developing graduates who can perform at the executive level in their chosen field. The Suffolk MSA is a 10 to 19 course program that can be completed in 10 to 16 months
of full-time study or 16 to 24 months of part-time study. We also offer a summer/summer option in which students supplement two consecutive summers of full-time study with one course in each of the corresponding fall semesters. Students choose from a variety of courses including multinational financial reporting, fraud and forensics, auditing and assurance, information technology and not-for-profit accounting. In the required course, Leadership in the Financial Professions, student groups study hot topics in today’s business and accounting environment and present their findings to a panel of judges from industry, public accounting, and academia. “Suffolk was a natural choice for me. I knew the professors
would be great, and as an undergraduate accounting major, I was able to waive courses, so I could complete the program in a year,” said Sam Milenkov, MSA ‘05. Students can also choose to shape their program of study to their career goals by selecting a specialization in public accounting, controllership (forprofit and not-for-profit), fraud examination, or information technology. Many students in the program are already working professionals in the business world who bring their experiences into the classroom enriching discussions and expanding their professional networks. Suffolk’s MSA program is the only program in Boston and one of only three graduate accounting programs in Massachusetts with separate accreditation from AACSB International. AACSB International is the premier accrediting body for business schools in the world. Visit www.suffolk.edu/msa for more
information about the MSA program and other MSA options. For those interested in Taxation, Suffolk University also offers an MS in Taxation. The Suffolk MST provides a relevant, rigorous education. Students learn how to leverage knowledge of tax issues in a global environment, and develop strong communication and research skills, an understanding of the policy implications of tax law, and a keen appreciation of the ethical standards of professional practice. The Suffolk MST is a 10 to 14 course program that can be completed in 10 to 16 months of full-time study or 18 to 24 months of part-time study. Students can choose from a variety of elective courses to concentrate in various aspects of taxation, including: international, estate, gift, and trust, and financial planning. Accelerated programs are available for members of the Massachusetts Society of
CPAs. For more information on the Suffolk MST, visit www.suffolk.edu/mst To learn more about Suffolk University’s graduate programs in accounting, or taxation, visit us on the web at: www.suffolk.edu/business or attend the

Edd says “I could never have made the money I make today without Wentworth.” Marcel Tatu works for a major construction firm in retail estimating. Despite his previous accomplishments, he knew a degree would give him extra flexibility. He completed his associate degree in Building Construction and is currently working on his bachelor degree in Construction Management.

Change your career – and your life – at MGH Institute of Health Professions
Diane Foley’s undergraduate degree was in electrical engineering, but it was her continued interest in health care that brought her to MGH Institute of Health Professions. Foley was one of 13 students who recently completed their graduate coursework in the MGH Institute’s Graduate Program in Medical Imaging, and already she has launched her new career working in the emergency room at Massachusetts General Hospital. “I was always fascinated by medicine and health care, but I was strong in math and science so I went into engineering in college,” said the mother of three. “Going to school to become a radiologic technologist
at the Institute was a good match with my technical background and my interest in health care.”
The MGH Institute also offers advanced degrees for existing nurse and physical therapy professionals.
Students like Foley enter the MGH Institute from a wide variety of other fields and interests – from a Peace Corps volunteer, to a Rockette, to a member of the women’s U.S. Olympic hockey team. While they may all have disparate backgrounds, they arrive at the MGH Institute with a single purpose – to learn healthcare from some of the best faculty in the nation.
As part of the Partners HealthCare system – which includes Mass General, Brigham & Women’s, and Spaulding Rehabilitation hospitals – the U.S. News & World Report ranked graduate school offers students unparalleled opportunity to learn and work alongside expert practicing clinicians.
The Institute offers several direct-entry graduate programs at its Charlestown Navy Yard campus.
