The group of healthcare providers who work together to find, treat, and care for children with cancer is called the cancer care team. The cancer care team may include any or all these providers, plus others:
Primary healthcare providers
Oncology specialists (medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, surgical oncologist)
Surgeons (including surgical specialists such as urologists, gynecologists, and neurosurgeons)
Oncology nurse specialists
Oncology social workers
Pastoral care
Respiratory therapists
Physical therapists
Lab technicians
Child life therapists
Psychologists and other mental health specialists
Radiation technicians
Your child's healthcare provider will decide on treatment for cancer based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and health history
Type of cancer
If the cancer has spread
New treatment options
How well your child tolerates certain medicines, procedures, or therapies
The expected outcome
Your opinion or preference
Treatment for certain cancers may include:
Radiation therapy
Antibiotics. These medicines prevent and treat infections.
Supportive care. This may be used to treat or prevent the side effects of treatment. These include nausea, diarrhea, anemia, and mouth sores.
Surgery. This treatment is used to remove a tumor.
Placement of a central line. A central line is a thin, flexible tube (catheter). It is placed in a large vein that supplies the circulatory system. A central line may be used to give your child medicines and blood products. It also provides a site where blood samples can be easily taken without causing pain. There are several types of central lines used in the treatment of cancer. Your child's healthcare provider will talk with you about the benefits.
Continual follow-up care. This helps to find out how well treatment is working. It also helps to see if the cancer has come back and to manage the effects of treatment.
Immunotherapy. This treatment boosts your body's own immune system to help it recognize and attack cancer cells. It uses substances that are either made in the body or in a lab. These substances either boost the immune system overall or help it better target cancer cells.
The most common forms of treatment for cancer are chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy.
Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer medicines to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy has been used for many years. It is one of the most common treatments for cancer. Different groups of medicines work in different ways to fight cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be used alone for some types of cancer or in combination with other treatments, such as radiation or surgery. Certain chemotherapy medicines may be given in a specific order depending on the type of cancer it is being used to treat.
Chemotherapy can work quite well in treating certain cancers. But the medicines reach all parts of the body, not just the cancer cells. Because of this, there may be many side effects during treatment. Being able to anticipate these side effects can help you and your child's caregivers prepare and possibly prevent these symptoms from happening.
In most cases, chemotherapy works by stopping the cancer cells from growing or reproducing. Different groups of medicines work in different ways to destroy cancer cells. Often a combination of chemotherapy medicines is used to fight a specific cancer.
Chemotherapy can be given:
As a pill or liquid to swallow
As a shot into the muscle or fat tissue
As an IV directly to the bloodstream
As a medicine put on the skin (topical)
As a shot into the spinal fluid (intrathecal)
Chemotherapy interferes with fast-growing cancer cells. But it also affects some healthy cells. Before your child gets chemotherapy for treatment of cancer, many tests are done to check how well the heart, kidneys, lungs, eyes, ears, and reproductive organs are working (baseline). Some chemotherapy may affect how these organs work either during treatment or months to years afterward. Some treatment may affect fertility. Other potential side effects are:
Bone marrow suppression. Chemotherapy often lowers the number of red blood cells that carry oxygen, white blood cells that fight infection, and platelets that help the blood to clot. Risk for anemia, fatigue, infection, and bleeding are increased with bone marrow suppression.
Mouth sores, skin changes, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Chemotherapy affects the fast-growing cells of the mouth, skin, and digestive tract.
Hair loss (alopecia). Chemotherapy affects the cells of the hair and nails. After treatment is done, most children's hair will grow back. Texture of hair and fingernails may change.
Radiation therapy is also called radiotherapy, irradiation, or X-ray therapy. It uses strong waves or particles such as X-rays to kill or damage cancer cells. Radiation therapy may be used in several ways depending on the type and location of the cancer. Certain levels of radiation work to destroy cancer cells or prevent cells from growing or reproducing. This treatment may provide a cure for cancer, control the disease, or help ease its symptoms.
Each hospital may have specific ways of giving radiation therapy. But it often begins with these procedures:
After a physical exam and a review of your child's health history, the treatment team "maps" out the position your child will be in for each treatment. They figure out the exact area on your child's body (treatment field or port) where the radiation will be given. This is called the simulation process. Sometimes the area on your child's body that needs treatment will be marked to make sure radiation is given the right way. The treatment team may also make molds, headrests, or other devices that help to position your child during your treatment. Imaging studies may also be done to help plan how to direct the radiation during treatments.
Once the simulation process is done, the radiation oncologist will figure out your child's treatment plan. This will include the type of machine to use, the amount of radiation that is needed, and the number of treatments that will be given.
Radiation therapy is given through different methods. Which one depends on the type of cancer, where it is, and your child's health. Sometimes radiation therapy is used in combination with other treatments. There are 2 types of radiation therapy:
With this type of treatment, radiation is given by a large machine that points the energy waves directly at the tumor. The radiation therapist controls the machine. Because radiation is used to kill cancer cells, special shields may be made to protect the tissue around the treatment area. Radiation treatments are painless and usually last a few minutes.
With this type of treatment, your child gets a high dose of radiation inside the body as close to the cancer as possible. The radiation treatment is put through a thin tube (catheter). Some of the radioactive implants are called seeds or capsules. Internal radiation involves giving a higher dose of radiation in a shorter time span when compared with external radiation. Some internal radiation treatments stay in the body for a short time. Other internal treatments stay in the body permanently. But the radioactive substance loses its radiation within a short period of time. In some cases, both internal and external radiation therapies are used.
The side effects of radiation depend on the dose and location, and if it is internal or external. Some radiation may affect how these organs work either during treatment or months to years afterward. Some treatment may affect fertility depending where the radiation beam is directed. The side effects usually relate to the area of the body that is getting the radiation treatments. Potential side effects are:
Hair loss (alopecia). Hair loss may happen in the part of the body that gets radiation. After treatment is done, most children's hair will grow back.
Bone growth. Bone growth may also be affected, especially with young children who are still having major bone growth. Height and length of arms or legs may be shortened because of the effect of radiation.
Skin changes. The skin may be more sensitive, reddened, or irritated after having radiation. Skin care is an important part of radiation treatment. Skin changes are short-term effects of radiation. Your child's healthcare provider will explain how to prevent and treat any skin problems related to radiation.
Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. If radiation therapy of the pelvis or stomach is given, a child may have diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or a combination of these.
Tiredness (fatigue). Extreme tiredness called fatigue is common with radiation therapy. It may get worse as treatment goes on. It can last for months after treatment ends.

Low- or no-cost gifts for children and teenagers that you can make with a pen and paper or a laserjet printer
The Awesome Kid Coupon Book: 52 Ways to Say You're Special and You're Loved!' Hallmark Gift Books, unpaged, $5.95, paperback.
By Janice Harayda
O come all ye slackers who have fallen behind in your shopping for a child! Why not wrap up coupons good for the kinds of gifts described in this book — a waiver of a chore, a one-hour bedtime or curfew extension, or the right to "play the music you want for as loud as you want for one hour"?
The Awesome Kid Coupon Book has firm roots in a core principle of child psychology: Kids want to get out of doing some things as much as they want to have permission to do others. So this book has a coupon that lets a child to skip the vegetables at one meal as well one that confers control of the TV remote for an evening.
Most coupons involve free or low-cost gifts, and you can remove easily any that involve a cash outlay too steep for this bare-knuckles economy. ("SUPERSIZE YOUR ALLOWANCE – This coupon entitles you to double your normal allowance for one week.") Some children may especially appreciate the "TOTAL SLOB COUPON!" that says: "Lounge in your grungiest clothes and do nothing all day! And don't forget to wad up this coupon and throw it on the floor!" Just make sure your child reads the fine print on that one: "Weekends only."
Best line: "BAN IT! This coupon entitles you to specify one food you do not want to find on your plate for an entire week." Also: "A WHOLE NEW YOU — For one whole weekend day, you can be called any name you like, including anything that starts with 'Super.'" And "BOOKWORM — Buy any book you want with a price up to $____________."
Worst line: "BE A WINNER — Present this coupon and three scratch-off lottery tickets will be purchased for you. If you win, the money's all yours!" This coupon seems to encourage adults to skirt the legal ages for buying lottery tickets (18 years old in most states, 21 in a few) by buying them for children. Would Hallmark have said, "Present this coupon and three six-packs will be purchased for you"?
Published: 2007
Warning: I found this book at a large CVS in September 2008 but haven't been able to find it anywhere, including on the Web, since then. This is unusual: Books rarely go out of print so fast, and this one may have been recalled because of the lottery issue I mentioned above. I decided to post this review, anyway, because a) you might have better luck than I did at finding the book and b) some of its ideas may provide inspiration for homemade coupons.

Fantasy Baseball 2012 Preview: Top Five Catchers
There are often a few catchers who stand out as the finest of their generation. In the 1980s it was Hall of Famers Gary Carter and Carlton Fisk. The 1990s brought us Mike Piazza and Pudge Rodriguez. The 2000s were dominated by archrivals Jason Varitek and Jorge Posada. Now in the '10s we have a fresh generation of talent.
The fifth best backstop this season will be Giants masked marvel Buster Posey. After a stellar rookie season that included 18 home runs and a .305 average, Posey was again enjoying some success last season while showing a little more plate discipline. This season Bloomberg Sports projects Posey to return to prominence after a nasty collision at home plate ended his sophomore season prematurely. Expect 17 home runs, 76 RBI, and a .282 batting clip.
Coming in at number four is the player with perhaps the most upside on this list, Carlos Santana. As a rookie last season, Santana powered 27 home runs with 79 RBI and 84 runs. Though he hit just .234, Santana's 97 walks are a tremendous total for such a young player. Bloomberg Sports projects 25 home runs with 89 RBI and even five stolen bases for Santana this season.
The third best catcher this season is also the steadiest: Brian McCann. The Braves star has 20-plus home runs in five of the last six seasons. While he does not offer any speed on the base paths, he does have a great deal of power and usually hits for a high average. Expect 24 home runs with 85 RBI form the 28-year-old veteran.
Coming in as the second best catcher is Twins sensation Joe Mauer. Fantasy managers have to come to grips with what Mauer now offers. Since the move to Target Field, Mauer does not pack much pop. He also lacks speed due to the many leg injuries he has suffered behind the plate. On the other hand, Mauer is a high average option with solid run production. Expect 13 home runs with a .306 batting clip for the former MVP contender.
Finally, the top-hitting catcher in fantasy baseball is Mike Napoli. The Rangers slugger became a household name in Texas last season thanks to his 30 home runs and .319 average. Napoli proved his worth on the offensive and defensive side of the diamond and after going in the mid-to-late rounds of fantasy drafts last season he now ranks at the top of his position. Expect him to offer a repeat performance with 30 home runs and 87 RBI.

David Kairys has recently posted his fascinating essay, "Why Are Handguns So Accessible on Urban Streets?" (forthcoming in Against the Wall: Poor, Young, Black, and Male (Elijah Anderson, ed., Penn Press, 2008) on SSRN. Here's the abstract.
* * *
This short essay explains why it is easier for young black men in many poor, urban areas to obtain a handgun than an up-to-date school textbook or a regular job. A chapter of Against the Wall: Poor, Young, Black and Male, edited by Elijah Anderson with other chapters by Cornel West, William Julius Wilson, and Douglas Massey, the analysis focuses on handgun marketing and distribution and addresses the social and political context that yields easy availability of handguns. Under federal law and the laws of most states, any person so inclined can buy huge quantities of cheap, easily concealed handguns and sell them to others indiscriminately, often without violating any law and usually without having to worry much about getting arrested, prosecuted, or convicted. Nor are the identities of owners of handguns, or the persons to whom they transfer ownership, registered or maintained by government, unless state law so provides-and most do not. Convicted felons are not allowed to buy or possess handguns, but the marketing system up to that point is largely legal. The person who sells a handgun to a person with a felony conviction has no meaningful or enforceable responsibility. Though the handgun debate is commonly cast in terms of "illegal guns," the central problem resides in what continues to be legal. Large cities facing declining job opportunities, losses in population and tax revenues, and rising levels of deprivation are being forced to accommodate virtually unregulated handgun markets. The cultural and political identification with guns and the unregulated handgun markets have continuing broad support almost exclusively in rural areas and have been imposed on urban and minority communities. The chapter examines proposed handgun regulations and the political and cultural opposition to them.

Flu more widespread in US; eases off in some areas
NEW YORK (AP) — Flu is more widespread across the nation, but the number of hard-hit states has declined, health officials said Friday.
Flu season started early this winter, and includes a strain that tends to make people sicker. Health officials have forecast a potentially bad flu season, following last year's unusually mild one. The latest numbers, however, hint that the flu season may already have peaked in some spots.
Flu was widespread in 47 states last week, up from 41 the week before, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday. Many cases may be mild. The only states without widespread flu are California, Mississippi and Hawaii.
The hardest hit states fell to 24 from 29, with large numbers of people getting treated for flu-like illness. Dropped off that list were Florida, Arkansas and South Carolina in the South, the first region hit this flu season.
Recent flu reports have included the holidays when some doctor's offices were closed, so it will probably take a couple more weeks to know if the flu has peaked in some places or grown stronger in others, CDC officials said Friday.
"Only time will tell how moderate or severe this flu season will be," CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said in a teleconference with reporters.
Nationally, 20 children have died from the flu. There is no running tally of adult deaths, but the CDC estimates that the flu kills about 24,000 people in an average year.
Flu vaccinations are recommended for everyone 6 months or older, and health officials say it is not too late to get vaccinated. flu reports.
Nearly 130 million doses of flu vaccine were distributed this year, and at least 112 million have been used. Vaccine is still available, but supplies may have run low in some locations, health officials say.
Hyrmete Sciuto, of Edgewater, N.J., got a flu shot Friday at a New York City drugstore. She hadn't got one in years, but news reports on the flu this week made her concerned.
As a commuter by ferry and bus, "I have people coughing in my face," she said. "I didn't want to risk it this year."
The flu vaccine isn't foolproof; people who get vaccinated can still get sick.
On Friday, CDC officials said a recent study of more than 1,100 people has concluded the current flu vaccine is 62 percent effective. That means the average vaccinated person is 62 percent less likely to get a case of flu that's bad enough to require a trip to the doctor, compared to people who don't get the vaccine.
That's in line with how effective the vaccine has been in other years.
The flu vaccine is reformulated annually, and officials say this year's version is a good match to the viruses going around.
Flu usually peaks in midwinter. Symptoms can include fever, cough, runny nose, head and body aches and fatigue. Some people also suffer vomiting and diarrhea, and some develop pneumonia or other severe complications.
Most people with flu have a mild illness. But people with severe symptoms should see a doctor. They may be given antiviral drugs or other medications to ease symptoms.
Some shortages have been reported for children's liquid Tamiflu, a prescription medicine used to treat flu. But health officials say adult Tamiflu pills are available, and pharmacists can convert those to doses for children.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - A North Dakota high school principal says appropriate action is being taken after three students briefly donned Ku Klux Klan-style white robes and hoods Friday night during a state hockey semifinal game.
The photo caused an uproar on Twitter when it was posted by 19-year-old Shane Schuster, who was seated with some friends at Ralph Engelstad Arena when something in the student section across the rink caught his eye.
"I thought, 'Are those KKK hoods?' I couldn't believe it," Schuster said. "I was shocked."
Schuster said he focused his camera phone and snapped a photo, later uploading it to Twitter.
Kristopher Arason, Red River's principal, said the school's investigation determined that the students put on the attire just after Red River's first goal and wore it for about 30 seconds to a minute. The teens removed the outfits after students in the section told them it was offensive, he said.
"We, as a school, are extremely disappointed with the behavior of these three students," Arason said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Saturday. "This behavior is not a representation of our school or student body."
Arason said administrators were notified of the incident at the completion of the game. The students and their parents have been contacted and "appropriate action is being taken," he said.
Arason did not indicate what disciplinary action, if any, the three unidentified students could face.
Red River topped Fargo's Davies High School 2-0 to advance to Saturday night's North Dakota Boys State Hockey Tournament title game against Grafton-Park River.
Davies High School is named in honor of Ronald Davies, the former federal judge from Fargo whose 1957 rulings integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. — a pivotal event in the civil rights movement.
The photo that Schuster posted on the social media site shows the three hooded fans in the middle of the Red River Roughriders section, in which everyone is dressed in white as part of a "whiteout." The post had been retweeted 75 times by late Saturday afternoon, with many users expressing their outrage.
The hockey tradition of encouraging fans to all wear all white was started more than 25 years ago by the original Winnipeg Jets — which currently are the Phoenix Coyotes. In 1987, Jets fans donning white shirts and jerseys packed Winnipeg Arena to watch the team take on the Calgary Flames in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The practice has since spread to the college and high school levels.
Arason said Red River has a tradition of wearing a different color for each of the three days of the state tournament in accordance with the team's colors. Roughrider fans wore black for the first day, white for the second and red for the final day.

After some nervous waiting on behalf of Apple's developer community, the dates for Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference have been announced. The conference will take place from June 11-15 in San Francisco, where developers will "learn about the future of iOS and OS X."
Like the previous two years, the ticket price to attend WWDC as a developer is $1,599 before flights and accommodations—Apple bumped the price in 2010 after the previous few years sold out instantly. That didn't stop WWDC from selling out quickly in 2011, however—based on the conversations we've observed on Twitter so far, we wouldn't be surprised to hear that 2012's WWDC is in the process of selling out as we write.
Apple is now allowing developers as young as 13 a chance to attend WWDC. A parent or guardian that is a registered developer must purchase the ticket, but can put it in the name of a minor aged 13-17. Apple is also offering a limited number of scholarships for young developers, though the application deadline is just days away—May 2.
According to Apple, some of the WWDC 2012 activities will include the usual technical sessions led by Apple engineers, hands-on labs where there'll be coding assistance and insight into development techniques, and (the best part) "the opportunity to connect with thousands of fellow iOS and OS X developers from around the world." (Translation: beer.) Apple doesn't usually announce the specific topics of its tech talks until much closer to the event, and those are usually kept under NDA so the developers don't leak any secret info. The keynote has not yet been announced either, but if and when it is announced, we expect the topic to largely revolve around iOS and OS X—not any kind of iPhone (or other) hardware.
Update: We have now heard that WWDC tickets are sold out only two hours after they went on sale. Hope those of you who were interested managed to get a ticket!

CUMBERLAND, Va. (WTVR) – Lewis Howard said it all began with an itchy hand. Howard, a retired HVAC technician from Cumberland, recalled the night he found out the Mega Millions ticket he bought would change his life.
He said he was watching television when his hand began to itch. That, he said, was a sign money was coming. Minutes later the numbers were announced.
Howard had spent $5 on Mega Millions tickets for the May 17 drawing. One of his tickets matched all six numbers. Howard split the $198 million jackpot with another winner in New Jersey.
He said his winning numbers — 11-15-35-43-49 and the Mega Ball 41 — were selected at random at the Food Lion on South Main Street in Farmville.
Howard collected his $99 million check from the Virginia Lottery on Thursday. Choosing the one-time cash payout, Howard actually gets $73.3 million before taxes.
"I'm just an ordinary person," he said. "I'm still the same person."
He said he waited months to claim his prize to make sure he would make good decision with his millions.
"We commend Mr. Howard for taking his time to assemble a team of financial and legal advisors," Virginia Lottery Director Paula Otto said.
Howard, who has two children and three grandchildren, said he'd likely take some money and go on a cruise.
He also said he'd continue playing the lottery.
"It's my hobby," he said.

A woman who is married to a female Army officer at Fort Bragg and who was recently denied membership in its officers' spouses club said late Friday that she has been invited to become a full member.
Ashley Broadway told the Associated Press that she received the invitation from the club's board in an email Friday.
The invitation came on the same day that Broadway also learned she'd been named Fort Bragg's 2013 "Military Spouse of the Year" by Military Spouse magazine. She is married to Lt. Col. Heather Mack, who gave birth this week to the couple's second child, a baby girl.
"I'm pleased, I'm happy," Broadway said by phone Friday night. "As soon as things calm down with the baby, I want to get involved. I hate that it took so long for them to come to this conclusion. But I think things happen for a reason. I'm a very devout Christian. I've had faith in God this whole time. I think if anything it's brought up a larger issue: We have two classes of service members and how they're... not treated equally."
"Looking back, it's been a blessing in disguise because people are talking... in Washington, this is being talked about," she added.
Last month, Fort Bragg received national attention when Broadway was denied membership in the officers' spouses club at the North Carolina Army post because she does not have a spouse identification badge issued by the military.
Though she and Mack have been together for 15 years, the only pass post officials would provide to Broadway named her as a caregiver to their 2 1/2-year-old son - the same credential given to nannies.
The club announced it would allow Broadway admittance as a "guest member," but Broadway said anything less than full membership wasn't acceptable.
In an email Friday, a copy of which was provided by Broadway to AP, the board of the Association of Bragg Officers Spouses writes that "in order to immediately support all military Officer spouses who are eligible for ABOS membership a more inclusive definition of spouse is needed. Therefore, any Spouse of an active duty commissioned or warrant Officer with a valid marriage certificate from any state or district in the United States is eligible for ABOS membership."
The email continues, "We would like to offer you to become a full member of ABOS. Our next event is in February, in which we are doing a Murder Mystery event dinner. We welcome both you and LTC Mack to join us."
Broadway said she's looking forward to becoming involved in club activities.
"I'm not one to hold grudges or anything," she said. "I hope to get to know these ladies and we'll go from there - do activities, so that we can better the lives of people here at Fort Bragg."
The couple's case is an example of how nearly a year and half after President Barack Obama and Congress ended "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," same-sex couples are faced with daily reminders of the conflict inherent in serving openly as gays and lesbians under a government that still refuses to acknowledge their relationships.
Pentagon officials say they are bound by the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which forbids the federal government from recognizing any marriage other than that between a man and a woman.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the constitutionality of DOMA in June, but advocacy groups say there are numerous steps the Pentagon could take now to treat struggling same-sex military couples more fairly.
Among the steps proposed by such advocacy groups as OutServe-Servicemembers Legal Defense Network and the American Military Partner Association are issuing military IDs to same-sex spouses, ensuring spouses have full access to on-base social programs, and letting same-sex couples qualify for military housing. Pentagon officials say the proposals are under study.

|Born in East Germany, Ines Papert is one of the world's top all-arounders, male or female. At the 2010 Ouray mixed comp, this 35-year-old single mother looked as though she was going to repeat her 2005 performance and crush the entire field. "The comp route was so easy," says Papert, "I figured other people had already completed it, and I needed to hurry." In reality, only Sam Elias (see below) had topped out on the route thus far, with only two seconds left on the clock (competitors get 20 minutes to complete the route). Papert, however, reached the final, crux ice bulge with almost seven minutes to spare. As she hurried to pull the bulge, a tool blew and she fell. Despite her supreme dominance over the small women's field, Papert was visibly disappointed when she fell.
|Second-place finisher Sam Elias stole the show with his unexpected buzzer-beater completion of the route. With just seconds left, Elias made a mad-dash scramble up the final ice bulge, abandoning a tool in the cold matrix below, and diving to tag the red flag with two seconds left on the clock. Elias competed in Ouray when it was still an open event two years ago, but didn't make finals. Last year, as a dark horse, he wasn't accepted as a competitor for the now invitation-only event. This year, as part of the Rock and Ice team pick, Elias was allowed in. In recent years, Elias has proven himself as one of the country's top all-around climbers, with 5.14c redpoints, 5.13c onsights and M12 sends.
|Josh Wharton, of Rifle, Colorado, won Ouray last year, and therefore had the honors of going last. Knowing he had to beat Elias' time to win, Wharton raced up the route and topped out with an impressive five minutes left on the clock. Only Wharton and Elias finished the comp route, which competitors suggested might be as hard as M9.

Knicks hold off Lakers' late charge
Sensing a fellow shooter had become gun shy, Kobe Bryant had a message for Carmelo Anthony last summer.
Ignore the critics, he said. Stop worrying about fitting in and get back to a scorer's mentality.
''You have to do what you do best,'' Bryant told him.
That's what Anthony did in a spectacular first quarter Thursday night, and by the time he was done Bryant and the struggling Los Angeles Lakers had no hope of ending their slump.
Anthony scored 22 of his 30 points in the period, and the New York Knicks held on after he departed with a sprained left ankle to beat the Lakers 116-107 in coach Mike D'Antoni's return to Madison Square Garden.
''I was zoned in. I was locked in,'' Anthony said. ''Tonight was one of those games where I had that feeling. I wanted to get it going and I had that feeling going early in the game. My teammates were feeding off of that.''
Firing in 3-pointers and moving the ball to open shooters, things they often struggled to do under D'Antoni, the Knicks won for the eighth time in nine games and improved to 9-0 at home for the first time since the 1992-93 season.
''I wanted to beat them. I wanted to beat the Lakers, especially protecting our home court,'' Anthony said. ''It had nothing to do with Mike. I wanted to protect our home court and win the basketball game.''
Meanwhile, things are starting as poorly for D'Antoni in Los Angeles as they ended in New York. The Lakers, still without Steve Nash and Pau Gasol, were never really in the game while losing their fourth straight and falling to 9-14.
Nash has started running and the Lakers know things will get better once he's back, but that doesn't help right now.
''At this point I wish we had the Washington Generals on our schedule,'' Bryant said.
They're playing Washington on Friday, but it's the Wizards.
Raymond Felton scored 19 points, and Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith added 18 apiece for the Knicks.
Bryant had 31 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers. Metta World Peace finished with 23 points and Dwight Howard had 20.
The Lakers did cut what was a 26-point deficit to 113-107 when World Peace converted a three-point play with 1:27 remaining, but the Knicks took more than a minute off the clock while twice grabbing offensive rebounds on the next possession before Chandler made a free throw with 18 seconds to play.
Anthony, playing at an MVP level after he struggled last season under D'Antoni, made his first three 3-pointers, nearly reaching his NBA-leading average of 9.7 points per first quarter before 2 1/2 minutes were even gone. Bryant tried to keep pace but the Knicks couldn't be stopped, making 17 of 23 shots (74 percent) and building a 41-27 advantage.
''He's fun to watch when he's playing like that,'' Chandler said. ''He's pretty much unstoppable when he's playing that way.''
Anthony finished two shy of the franchise record for points in a quarter, held by Willis Reed and Allan Houston. And he was easily on pace to pass Bryant's building record of 61 points, though he didn't even get halfway there after playing just 5 minutes in the second half.
Anthony said his ankle felt sore and he didn't know if he would be available Saturday against Cleveland.
When it was over, D'Antoni shook hands with Mike Woodson, who replaced him on the New York bench, and a couple of Knicks players before walking off after another rocky night with the Lakers.
He's often been considered an offensive genius whose teams are poor defensively, but right now the Lakers don't really look good on either end.
The Knicks made 22 of their first 30 shots overall and started 8 of 10 behind the arc. Even when the Lakers tried to defend, it didn't work. Howard batted the ball away from Rasheed Wallace in the post, so Wallace simply retrieved it in the corner, buried a 3-pointer, and the lead ballooned to 58-32.
''We are having a re-occurring theme that the first quarter is just not good, and then the first half is not great and in the second half we seem to turn it on, and we need to solve that problem real quick,'' D'Antoni said.
It was 68-49 at the break, but the Knicks lost some of their flow when Anthony went to the locker room with 6:41 left in the third quarter and a 17-point lead. He had landed awkwardly after being fouled by Howard on a drive to the basket, and though he was able to stay in to shoot the free throws, Anthony was removed at the next whistle.
D'Antoni was booed loudly during pregame introductions, Knicks fans who appreciated the rugged defensive teams of the 1990s never truly embracing his offense-first style. D'Antoni said he enjoyed his time in New York and said earlier Thursday the Knicks, who lead the NBA in 3-pointers per game and fewest turnovers, were playing the way he'd like his team to play.
Sure enough, they made 12 3-pointers, right at their average, and turned it over just six times.
D'Antoni couldn't get the Knicks' offense going last season and tensions between he and Anthony seemed strained, though both denied it, when he resigned in March with the team threatening to fall out of the playoff race. The Knicks went 18-6 down the stretch under Woodson, who said he has kept aspects of D'Antoni's system while adding in some wrinkles of his own.
The result is a team that has shot to the top of the Eastern Conference with a 17-5 record.

Pirates prep for Wainwright, Cardinals in NLDS
ST. LOUIS - The Pittsburgh Pirates are riding high after their first postseason victory in 21 years. They're confident they can beat anybody, anywhere.
A few hours after defeating Cincinnati in the NL wild-card game Tuesday night, the Pirates touched down in St. Louis. They're about to face another familiar foe in an unfamiliar month when they take on the NL Central champion Cardinals in a best-of-five division series.
"We know them, they know us," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "There won't be any ball tricks, I hope. No Statue of Liberty plays."
A.J. Burnett, set to start the series opener today, was a part of three New York Yankees teams that made it to October. He said Wednesday there's a sense of euphoria with this experience that was lacking before.
"I guess the main thing is, over in New York, it's expected every year, you know?" Burnett said. "You tend to get in there a couple of weeks before the season ends. And this one was more of a 'Shock the world, we're going to do it, we made it!'"
The Pirates won the season series 10-9, but the Cardinals overtook them for the division lead with a four-game sweep at home in early September. St. Louis also has quite an advantage in postseason experience, with several holdovers from the 2011 World Series championship team and from last year, too, when St. Louis fell one win shy of a second straight pennant.
The Cardinals earned some time off after winning six in a row to end the season. They won their first NL Central crown since 2009 and secured home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs.
Their .330 average with runners in scoring position was the majors' best dating to 1974, when the statistic was first used. So far, they've done fine without injured Allen Craig, who missed almost all of September and isn't expected back from a left mid-foot sprain until at least the NL championship series.
"We played really well most of the year minus a couple of dips here and there that every team has," said Matt Holliday, who batted .378 over the final month to finish at .300. "I'd say, just try to roll that momentum into the postseason."
Adam Wainwright has to like this matchup, too. St. Louis' ace will pitch the opener and would also be available on full rest for a possible deciding Game 5. He went 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in three starts against Pittsburgh this season.
Wainwright (19-9, 2.94 ERA) got rocked for 15 runs over eight innings in consecutive starts against the Reds. One of them he labeled, "the worst start of my career," before rebounding in the win that put the Cardinals in first place to stay. He was 4-0 in his final five starts, working seven or more innings in all of them except for a tuneup his last time out.
"Well, aside from Clayton Kershaw this year, I'd argue that you could look at any single pitcher in the history of the game and they're going to have a bad game or two in the course of 35 starts," Wainwright said.
"I didn't need to do anything different. I just had a bad day."
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny described Wainwright, the third pitcher in franchise history to lead the league in wins twice, as a "fierce competitor."
"All in all, a Cy Young-caliber season," Matheny said. "We're not afraid to put him on the mound against anybody."
Burnett (10-11, 3.30 ERA) is 3-1 with a 3.67 ERA in his career against the Cardinals, but the last time he faced them he gave up five runs in three innings - his shortest outing of the year. In two appearances at Busch Stadium, he allowed 12 runs in 13 1-3 innings.
"It's just execution, that's all it is," Burnett said. "It's a great lineup over there. You can't make too many mistakes because they'll capitalize on them.
"The good ones I have limited those and the ones that got me, I haven't been able to execute."
The Cardinals haven't announced a starter after Lance Lynn, who will face rookie Gerrit Cole in Game 2 on Friday. Matheny has three strong candidates in Joe Kelly and rookies Shelby Miller and Michael Wacha. The manager said Miller and Wacha would be available in the bullpen for Game 1.
Miller led all rookies with 15 wins this year, Wacha was one out shy of a no-hitter in his final regular-season start and Kelly was 10-5 with a 2.69 ERA.
Hurdle said Francisco Liriano, the winner in the wild-card game, will start Game 3 on Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Green River Adventures to open 'steepest, fastest' zipline
By Gary Glancy, Times-News correspondent
Published: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Get ready for the ride of your life, outdoor thrill-seekers.
That's how the owners of Green River Adventures in Saluda are touting their latest endeavor, a zipline canopy tour operation on the precipice of the spectacular Green River Gorge.
Scheduled to open in May, "The Gorge" will send visitors on an aerial eco-tour, sliding in a secured harness down 6,500 feet of cable – or about one mile – with a vertical descent of more than 1,000 feet through a series of tree-based platforms.
Construction of The Gorge began last week.
Tim Bell, co-proprietor of the planned venture with his wife, Sara, said The Gorge will be the steepest and fastest canopy tour on the East Coast when it opens.
"Our outpost is perched on the rim of the Green River Gorge and you're facing a 1,200-foot wall of the gorge," Tim Bell said, "so there's a really dramatic effect – like you're going to dive into the gorge … We've got views up the Green River Gorge where you look up into the narrows section, but you can also see out the barrel of the gorge over Lake Lure and all the way up into Linville Gorge and Lake James, and, actually, on a really, really clear day you can pick out Grandfather Mountain."
Ziplining continues to gain popularity among hard-core outdoor adventurers and families alike, both nationally and here in Western North Carolina. Local officials eagerly await the prospect of The Gorge bringing Polk and Henderson counties into the action.
"I think it's a really good opportunity for the area in that this will be one of the closest ziplines to Charlotte, Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Charleston and even Atlanta, so they (the Bells) have the potential for a lot of upside of people coming to this venue," Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden said. "And the merchants in town are really excited about the opportunity."
Baisden said that because many zipline operations are located in remote wooded areas, they often are a good distance away from places to eat, shop or just hang out for those who wait while their loved ones are enjoying the ride.
"This," Baisden said of The Gorge, "is a five-minute ride for people to come into Saluda from their outpost, and it's just a great opportunity for the town to piggyback on outdoor activities in the area such as (kayaking) the Green River and bicycling and things like that, so I think it will be really good for Saluda."
The canopy tour encompasses 125 acres of mature forest and looks out across the gorge at 10,000 acres of protected Green River gamelands, thus ensuring undeveloped, unspoiled views.
The Bells' "tree-top canopy adventure," as they're billing it, will take participants from their new outpost at the end of Honeybee Drive in Saluda – just off Holbert Cove Road, two miles from downtown – down into the gorge through a series of eight ziplines.
The Bells said the course will also include three sky bridges and two freefall rappels of about 75 feet each.
At the end of their trip, near the lower section of the Green River in Green River Cove, participants will be picked up and shuttled back up to The Gorge's outpost.
Sara Bell said this is a unique feature of the Gorge, since many other canopy tours offer a loop course. What also sets The Gorge apart, she added, is that it will feature "absolutely stunning" views throughout the entire course and from nine of the 13 platforms, rather than just a few.
"You'll have these 180-degree views where you look to the left and you're looking at Class V section of river, and if you look to the right you're just looking down that barrel that Tim described," she said. "So it's breathtaking at multiple spots along the way.
The Bells, who moved the Green River Adventures outpost to downtown Saluda two years ago, had been eyeing The Gorge property for a while and made the purchase this summer.
Last month they applied for a Community Development Block Grant, and with a commitment to create 10 full-time positions with the business, the total award would be $250,000, Sara Bell said.
Part of the grant, she added, would be a $5,000 allocation to the city of Saluda, which would be used to install hidden WiFi antennas on Main Street so that all of downtown would have wireless access.
There were some challenges, however, in making The Gorge a reality. One of them was zoning issues.
The land the Bells purchased for The Gorge is zoned multiple-use, but recreational facilities that fell under Polk County's multi-use zoning language, Sara Bell said, were only larger indoor venues such as skating rinks and bowling alleys – facilities with very large footprints and huge parking lots.
County commissioners, therefore, worked with county staff to amend the language to broaden the scope of allowable recreational uses.
"The outdoor industry is growing, the Green River Gorge and Saluda area are becoming sort of a hot spot for adventure tourism, and there just wasn't a multi-use (allowance) for what we were doing," Sara Bell said. "It was really a group effort with the county commissioners, the zoning department, the county's planning board. It was so motivating to see all of those political figures and county staff members come together and say, 'All right, this is going to be a fabulous thing for our county, this is the type of growth we want to see. How can we make this happen?'
"I think what it did was open the door for other recreation providers, and sent a message that Polk County is welcoming that type of industry and that type of growth."
The Bells, and Baisden, said public response to the project has been overwhelmingly positive, with the exception of concerns over parking. They are working together to ensure there is enough on-site parking at the Gorge and some public lots near town to avert over-burdening downtown spaces.
Tim Bell said the couple's goal is for The Gorge to become an added attraction to the local outdoors scene so that it sparks multi-day stays for visitors to the area, which will benefit other industries such as lodging, food and retail.
Andrew Tate, president and CEO of the Henderson County Partnership for Economic Development, recently began working with the Bells and other outdoors-related business leaders in developing a regional roundtable to discuss strategies in approaching and attracting more outdoor industry companies.
Tate said the idea is to pull together representatives from a wide variety of companies "who can provide us valuable advice in terms of how to pursue economic development (related to) the outdoors industry."
They currently include such businesses as Green River Adventures, Mast General Store, Green Legacy Paddlesports, Sycamore Cycles, Cane Creek Cycling Components, Diamond Brand Outdoors, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and Outdoor Sports Marketing.
Tate agreed that WNC already is viewed nationally as an alluring destination in the outdoors industry, and is "on the front edge" of seeing additional momentum. He cited numbers that show the Asheville Metropolitan Statistical Area to have about 1.6 percent of its employment base involved in some form of the outdoor industry, including retail and manufacturing.
"That may sound like a small number," Tate said, "but if you compare that number to Boulder, Colo. or Portland, Oregon or Roanoke, Virginia or any of the other areas in the U.S. that are seen as hotbeds for outdoor activity, we have a much higher percentage of our employment base involved in that sector. To me, that reaffirms that the sector, the cluster, is already here. It's here largely because of the culture and the natural assets of the area, which attracts those who value those assets and they start businesses or they go to work for businesses that are already here."
Over time, Tate added, the outdoors cluster has become more organized and better-known, evidenced by organizations like American Whitewater opening an office in WNC and the Outdoor Industry Association holding its annual Rendezvous event in Asheville two years ago.
"So Western North Carolina is recognized in the outdoor industry as a hub for outdoor recreation," Tate said. "I think what we're trying to do, and what Tim and Sara are helping with, is to elevate that awareness, and use it as leverage to grow the cluster."

Tetrazzini leftover will leave them singing
Here's a Turkey Day leftover you can sing about. Really.
Tetrazzini is a turn-of-the-century classic. It was created for opera diva Luisa Tetrazzini by Ernest Arbogast, chef at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.
There is no definitive recipe. Tetrazzini is more of a technique. It is named for the meat used or re-used, such as chicken tetrazzini or tuna tetrazzini. It has been modernized with cream of mushroom soup and frozen noodles, but my family prefers tetrazzini closer to the original.
This is an impressive, satisfying dish yet easily made. All you'll need is a vinegar and oil salad or perhaps an antipasto plate (cheeses, salami, olives, pickled vegetables) and Italian bread to complete the meal.
Don't be surprised if Uncle Ernesto breaks out into the chorus from Rossini's "The Barber Of Seville."
6 tablespoons butter
1 pound mushrooms, sliced 1 inch thick
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup flour
3 cups milk
1 can (14 1/2-ounce) chicken broth
3/4 cup dry white wine
3 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 pound linguine, broken in half
4 cups cooked turkey meat, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 package (10-ounces) frozen peas, thawed
Preheat oven to 400.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter, add mushrooms and onions, season with salt and pepper. Sauté until tender. Remove.
For sauce: In same saucepan, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, about 1 minute. Whisking constantly, gradually add milk, broth, and wine. Bring to a near boil, reduce to medium and simmer 10 minutes, whisking often. Add 2 cups Parmesan and the thyme and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook pasta half the time on package. Drain and return to pot. Fold in sauce, turkey, peas, and mushrooms. Divide between two shallow two-quart baking dishes, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Bake until browned on top and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Notes: Top with cheddar or provolone cheese last 10 minutes or butter Italian bread, dice and spread on top.
Serves 8.

The latest in an occasional series of posts on books I didn't finish and why I didn't
Title: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Scholastic, $34.99), by J.K. Rowling
What it is: "The seventh and final installment in the epic tale of Harry Potter" (dust jacket).
How much I read: The first two chapters, a total of 29 pages.
Why I stopped reading: This novel wasn't good enough or bad enough to hold my attention. I hadn't read the first six books in the series, so opening this one was like walking into cocktail party full of people I didn't know. The first chapter seems to involve mainly the bad guys. They have names like Snape, Malfoy and Voldemort, and they're all sitting around a table plotting to kill Harry. But I was skeptical about whether they'd pull it off, because a white peacock appears on page 2. And here's how critics read books: "White (symbol of purity) + peacock (symbol of immortality in Christian art) = pure character/Christ figure lives." White is also a symbol of resurrection. So, I figured, the deal might instead be: "White peacock = Christ figure dies but is resurrected." Naturally, I have no idea how things turned out. I may have looked at one too many peacocks on cathedral walls or altarpieces. But I didn't want to slog through 759 pages only to yell at the end, "It was obvious! Major resurrection symbol on page 2!"
Best line in what I read: A line from a newspaper obituary written by one character for another: "Several of his papers found their way into learned publications such as Transfiguration Today, Challenges in Charming, and The Practical Potioner." Nice satire, especially that Challenges in Charming.
Worst line in what I read: The names of some characters, such as Dolohov and Grindelwald, clash with the best in the series and seem unconsciously to imitate Tolstoy, Agatha Christie and others. It's as though Rowling had named these characters 15 minutes after she finished reading War and Peace or Murder on the Orient Express.

PASADENA, Calif. — Dry weather and high temperatures likely combined to draw out a California black bear from the Angeles National Forest this week and in one case onto the front porch of a Pasadena home, according to wildlife experts.
"It must be so dry up there and it's hot and now he's looking for something to eat," said Ricky Whitman, a spokeswoman for the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA. "Closer to where there's garbage and where the people are is something that would lure them down."
The drought affecting Southern California has dried up the vegetation that the bears would normally feast on, said Whitman.
A bear wandered Thursday afternoon for a couple of hours between homes near the Eaton Canyon Park Golf Course close to Old House Road and Sierra Madre Villa Avenue.
Police and California Department of Fish and Wildlife wardens were on scene, according to reports.
Janice Mackey a spokeswoman for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the bear made it back into the forest unassisted.
A Scottish couple visiting family in Pasadena had a close encounter Tuesday with a California black bear, which was captured on security cameras installed outside the home.
The footage showed the couple coming out of the home without noticing the bear, which was lurking a few feet away on the front porch.
The bear followed the couple off of the porch and out of the view of the camera.
Bobby McKeown said he felt something at his leg as he was helping his wife into the car parked in the driveway.
The encounter made national and international news.
McKeown said he was still shaken Friday morning and wished he would have seen the bear before it had a chance to get so close to him.
Whitman said it was unusual for a bear to approach humans.
"They are usually very frightened," she said.
Bear sightings for residents in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains have been common for the past 15 years, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The black bears were introduced into the mountains in 1933, relocated from Yosemite National Park.
Whitman said bears in Southern California do not hibernate in the winter.
Mackey said bears go into more of a lethargic state, rather than a deep sleep.
"We also have to remember this winter is warmer and more people are out and there is the possibility of more sightings," Mackey said. "If it's cold and raining and damp, a bear might have gone unnoticed."
Neighbors in the area said bear sightings are less common in January.
Both Whitman and Mackey said residents who live in bear country must be vigilant year-round.
"If I saw a bear, I would back up and go inside," said Whitman.
