FORT WALTON BEACH — When Paula Piazza took her place at the starting line of Monday's Boston Marathon, she knew she wasn't fully prepared. A series of injuries had interrupted the veteran marathon runner's training.
"You get to go to Boston, you do it," she said Tuesday outside the Run With It store downtown. "You do anything you have to do to get to the finish line."
So she ran most of the course and walked more than she would have liked, crossing the finish line in 4 hours, 8 minutes. Less than a minute later, two explosions filled the area with smoke and flying debris.
"If the crowd hadn't of been there (cheering) the way it was, I would have walked one more time or a couple more times," said Piazza, who lives in Shalimar. "That would have put me in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Video clips show the first explosion knocking down an older runner in an orange tank top. Piazza saw the clip and recognized him as someone who ran near her for most of the race until she finally passed him.
She estimates that she was about 100 meters away when she heard the sound she first assumed was someone shooting a cannon.
"I look back. I saw black, black smoke," she said. "The guy next to me said, 'I'm in the military. I know it was a bomb.' "
Piazza ran ahead, away from the explosions, and accepted her medal and blanket from confused volunteers. She didn't immediately realize people were hurt.
"I was only thinking about getting out of danger," she said. "You didn't know what was coming next. Within a minute or two, thousands of sirens, FBI, newsmen (were) running toward it."
She found her friend and fellow runner, Michelle Underwood of Destin, at their prearranged spot.
Underwood had run a personal best, finishing more than 30 minutes before the explosions. She was several blocks away but heard the booms and saw the smoke.
"You couldn't miss the sound," she said. "It was deafening. Everybody looks over. Huge plume cloud and then another explosion.
"You finally understand maybe a building's coming down, but what could you do? Your friend hasn't crossed (the finish line) yet."
By texting friends back home who were tracking the race online, she finally figured out Piazza had finished.
After finding each other, they went to a bar, which closed almost immediately. The women then went to their car, and at the urging of a firefighter got as far away as possible.
They flew back early Tuesday, dodging media at the airports.
Piazza struggled to talk about the experience and can't bear to read stories or see photos from the scene.
"I couldn't open the newspaper, couldn't read it," she said. "It's like something so great has been turned into something horrific."
She and Underwood went to Run With It's regular training run Tuesday evening, where they were hugged and congratulated by friends and fellow runners.
"I have moments when I'm OK," Piazza said as runners surrounded her in a quiet semi-circle.
"I just hope they find why? I don't know if they ever will, but it would help to understand it."

Six books before you start reading the Tiffany series is a pretty big order. I'd instead suggest if you really wanted enough backstory to get you going with the Tiffany series you could get away with just reading "Lords and Ladies" and "Carpe Jugulum" before you start "Wee Free Men," and then circle back to the other witches books when you're done with TIffany series.

NBA executives have plenty of horror stories about teens who had all of the athletic talent necessary to play in the NBA, but didn't make it because they weren't mature enough. The individuals who struggle are often the ones who continue acting like a typical teenager rather than growing up and being a professional. They oversleep, eat fast food and have their priorities out of order. Many mismanage their money, especially when they are trying to keep up with the spending habits of their veteran teammates who have much larger contracts and much more saved up from their time in the league. For many, it's also the first time they've lived on their own and had any freedom, which can lead to issues as well. One executive described a high-profile prospect who had issues with basic things like paying his bills and opening a bank account.

Delta selects sports-charter flight attendants candidates based on attendance, commendations and work history. Officials from college and professional teams then get to sit in on interviews with flight attendants each season, and draft their preferred roster. Flight attendants typically wear team-branded shirts instead of airline uniforms. "You'd think they want the youngest and best-looking, but it's not that way at all. They want experienced, well-spoken flight attendants with a professional attitude," said Mr. Wernecke. "Teams are afraid of the 23-year-old beauty queen. They think only bad things can happen."
Team charters often used to amount to a fraternity party of beer, pizza and junk food, sometimes with guitar playing and rookie hazing, but airlines say the days of raucous party flights are gone. Many teams ban alcohol, have nutritionists select menus and set up plane interiors so coaches can study game films and players can sleep. The most popular drink on National Basketball Association flights, according to Delta: Snapple Kiwi-Strawberry juice drink.
Delta takes eight of its Airbus A319 jets out of regular passenger service in October and installs special interiors designed by the NBA. Instead of 126 seats, there are only 54. The plane is segregated into three cabins—the front for players, with 16 seats that fold out into beds for 7-footers, 10 seats in the middle for coaches and 28 in the rear for team staff, security and beat reporters. Even the seats in the rear have more space than normal domestic first-class seats.

President Barack Obama and the National Rifle Association do agree on something: No amount of legislation can prevent every evil act. In his remarks on gun violence Wednesday, Obama acknowledged what gun enthusiasts have been saying for decades: Cracking down on illicit access to guns won't pre-empt all such future tragedies:
In the Dec. 14 Newtown, Conn., school massacre, 20 children and six adults died at the hands of a troubled 20-year-old armed with weapons his mother evidently had acquired legally: a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and two handguns. The stark efficiency of semi-automatic weaponry allowed Adam Lanza to do maximum damage in a short period of time. Similarly, last summer, alleged gunman James Holmes within minutes managed to shoot 70 people inside an Aurora, Colo., movie theater.
We took Obama's remarks not as a fixed and detailed agenda but as an attempt to formally start a national discussion that may diminish — if, unfortunately, never eliminate — the threat of such incidents. "Weapons designed for the theater of war have no place in a movie theater," Obama said while unveiling new White House-led initiatives to curb gun violence.
Some of what gun control advocates want, such as the outlawing of so-called assault weapons, will be divisive. But there are areas where we hope members of Congress quickly can find common ground: background checks for all buyers, including those at gun shows; harsher measures against illegal gun traffickers; better documentation of ownership transfers and stolen or lost weapons; and limits on high-capacity magazines.
Obama didn't say it out loud, but his message was clear: Tighter laws may limit the toll firearms take — and not only in mass shootings. Chicago suffered more than 500 homicides last year, the majority from gunfire; elimination of illegal gunrunning alone would have lowered that death toll.
Under Obama's suggestions, law-abiding citizens still could own semi-automatic weapons, but with less-expansive firepower. That doesn't trample their Second Amendment rights.
We strongly support Obama's call for federally mandated background checks on all gun purchasers. For far too long, dangerous gaps have existed among states: Some require strict background checks. Others don't.
Wednesday on this page, we documented a specific case of gunrunning between Indiana and Chicago that allowed a source working undercover for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to buy 43 guns illegally in barely 24 hours — without a single background check.
That's a big part of the reality on the ground — not only the random if inhumane mass killer, but big criminal enterprises that bring vast amounts of gunplay to city streets. Every responsible gun owner and NRA member should support a uniform system of screening buyers for each and every gun purchase. Congress: Close the loopholes, including those that let straw purchasers supply weapons to drug gangs. And find more effective ways to make the traffickers pay.
That said, this conversation must be broader than access to weapons. Obama rightfully spoke of the need for more intense mental health services nationwide. He said he would act immediately to clarify which services are covered under Medicaid. He emphasized that health care professionals are not prohibited from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement. And he said he would initiate a national dialogue on mental health.
That's important but not enough. We would like to see states ease the process of committing those suffering from mental illness to facilities or programs where they can get help — or at minimum easing the way for their friends or loved ones who want to intervene in their troubled lives. We realize it's a tricky constitutional area and a difficult fiscal environment; in Illinois, the Department of Human Services has experienced dramatic budget cuts during the past five years. Centers that offer mental health care often have frustratingly long waiting lists. But it's time for states to examine their services and reprioritize resources: Citizens who sense a problem should have somewhere to turn, and some assurance that the person who concerns them will get help.
The goal of this national conversation is simple: sensible efforts in multiple realms that, taken together, will reduce gun violence and pass constitutional muster. The status quo isn't working.
Action on the toughest questions — an assault weapons ban, limiting magazine capacity and federal background checks — will fall to the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate. Democrats hold a 55-45 advantage, although roughly a dozen of those Democrats come from states where gun control is especially unpopular. Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and senators such as Dick Durbin of Illinois face a difficult task getting members of their own party, let alone Republicans, to support these ideas. As we've experienced repeatedly in the Illinois General Assembly, many Democrats representing rural districts cannot be persuaded to take a vote that could be considered anti-gun. On this issue, Illinois is America writ small.
We applaud the swiftness with which Obama and Biden delivered suggestions. Obama released a list of 23 actions he plans to take, and can take, without congressional authorization. He directed the attorney general to review categories of people prohibited from owning guns and propose changes. He called for a national campaign on safe gun ownership. His suggestions also include long-overdue steps to try to prevent weapons from falling into the wrong hands.
Members of Congress, before you tackle the most divisive ideas, you have plenty of room for agreement. After decades of debate on weapons and mental health issues, after too many incidents of gun violence in Chicago and in victimized Newtowns across the land, you need to call the question.
Enough talk. Time to act.Copyright © 2015, Chicago Tribune

Mission Affordabled: Why Obama's Website Problems Aren't "His Iraq"
Yes, the Affordable Care Act website rollout has been a fiasco. And, as always happens when political catastrophe strikes, the wave of bad analogies has rushed in its wake. One in particular is gaining ground: Healthcare.gov is for Barack Obama's presidency what the invasion of Iraq was to George W. Bush's administration, complete with outraged liberal reactions to it.
Here's the funny thing: it's a bad analogy, which could turn out to be accurate … but probably won't.
To start with, the fact that people died in Iraq, as opposed to the inconvenience involved in a malfunctioning website, doesn't make it a bad analogy. The analogy has to do with presidential decisions; it's about process, not outcomes, and there's nothing at all wrong with that.
No, what makes it a bad analogy is that Iraq War was misconceived from the start, and the actual events of the war, to a large extent, made obvious what some saw from the beginning.
With the exchanges, on the other hand, no one believes that they are inherently unworkable. Nor has the opening of the exchanges revealed anything fraudulent about the basic case Barack Obama made for passing the law in the first place.
No, the rollout of the health-care exchanges is no Iraq.
But Obama's latest annoyance could become an Iraq (again, as a similar breakdown of governance, even though the consequences would be different). Leave aside the question of how Iraq was sold to the public and focus just on the policy. The big mistakes in that misadventure involved policy implementation at least as much as they were about policy formation. As bad an idea as it may have been from the start, Iraq only became Iraq because the war was carried out so badly.
The Affordable Care Act could become an equally fraught parable for presidents if its problems continue into next year. Imagine if Healthcare.gov never gets fixed during open enrollment this year … and is still basically unusable next fall when the second open season is scheduled. Imagine if the back-end problems mean that people don't get the insurance they thought they had paid for. The system does have some built-in ways of dealing with unexpected application mix-ups, but it's certainly possible Health and Human Services could be overwhelmed by various worst-case scenarios.
If worse comes to worse, the ACA still wouldn't exactly be an Iraq-style mistake. After all, one can't really put aside the important context that Iraq was sold on "facts" that weren't true. Nor can one ignore the massive inherent problems with Iraq, even if it was run perfectly. But the two would share something important: they would both be policies that were so badly implemented that they fell far short of what reasonably could have been expected.
And yet, I'm confident that Obamacare won't become Iraq.
Because the Obama administration isn't going to be shopping for "Mission Accomplished" signs; it's going to try to fix the problem. And while I suspect that is in part because Barack Obama is just better at presidenting than George W. Bush was—and has surrounded himself with a team willing to second guess him when he heads down the wrong road—the big reason that I expect things to get better is because Democrats are going to demand it.
Remember, the Bush administration strongly denied anything was going wrong in Iraq—not just for weeks, but years. The "Mission Accomplished" episode is remembered because it was an apt symbol for how the White House acted. Whatever line the White House set, conservatives almost universally followed. You may recall, for example, an extended period in which the emerging insurgency in Iraq was—quite preposterously—compared to largely mythical Nazi "bitter enders." Right up until the run-up to the 2006 elections (that is, three years into the fiasco), there was virtually no public pressure from Republicans on the White House.
Nor was this dynamic restricted to Iraq. Republicans spent much of 2008 denying the recession that had already begun; that's how John McCain got into trouble during the presidential campaign by claiming that economic fundamentals were sound.
Not only does the current president seem to have much less of an instinct for minimizing current troubles, but it doesn't really matter: Democrats give him no choice. There are some exceptions (yes, Obamabots who think the president can do no wrong are a real phenomenon), but for the most part Democrats in Congress and liberals in the press have pushed hard at the administration to fix the problem, rather than cheerleading and minimizing damage
That's exactly the kind of situation which is highly risky to a president—since Republicans are sure to bash whatever he does, he can't afford to have Democrats upset with him too. The White House is going to press hard to get this fixed.
To step back a bit from this particular situation, perhaps the best perspective on this is the idea that we've moved from the personal presidencies of Nixon and Carter to a partisan presidency, and that means that presidents above all will respond to party cues. In this particular case, Democrats deeply care about getting health care reform working well, for both political and (even more so) substantive reasons. A whole lot of Democrats, to be blunt, care a lot more that the policy work well than that it appear to work well. And because of that, and because contemporary presidents are extremely responsive to their party, we can expect real change to be the administration's priority. All of which means that however bad things look now, health-care reform isn't going to turn into this president's Iraq.

Five years after the invasion the most powerful military in the world finally suppressed a third world third world country with 5000 dead service men and women and tens of thousands wounded and you call that a victory? I'll be waiting for yours and other trolls' replies after the ACA has fully insured millions of Americans next year.
Mon, 2013-10-28 15:32
"while I suspect that is in part because Barack Obama is just better at presidenting than George W. Bush was"
You lost me right there. The incessant liberal mantra that 'Obama is finally going to do better this time" grew old some time ago. It isn't going to happen. He is a write-off. We will get continued incompetence in domestic and foreign policy, a worsening economy, and diminished worldwide status, until the merciful end, if we even get that far.
Mon, 2013-10-28 15:34
Another big difference is that not a single Republican in the House or Senate voted for the Obamacare disaster, whereas about half of the Democrats (including Biden and Hillary) voted for the Iraq War. Another big difference is that 99 percent of the American population were not personally impacted by the Iraq War, whereas under Obamacare tens of millions of people will lose their current insurance and be forced to purchase expense government approved packages larded with benefits they do not need or want. It was easiest thing in the world for everyday liberals to be against the Iraq War (angry words cost nothing). But what about when the liberal kiddies figure out they're going to be forced to pay hundreds of dollars a month?
Mon, 2013-10-28 16:58
Mr Bernstein, You say in your piece: "Nor has the opening of the exchanges revealed anything fraudulent about the basic case Barack Obama made for passing the law in the first place."
Wouldn't you agree that the President's claim (many times) that "If you like your current policy you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep it. Nobody is going to take that away from you. NO MATTER WHAT." was indeed a fraudulent pitch to gain popular support for the 0bamacare?
I don't know what you call lies, but one word for it it fraudulent.
Mon, 2013-10-28 18:22
Lots of us know for sure that the exchanges are unworkable. When the website is eventually fixed, all the bad risks will swarm in to sign up. The younger, healthier, middle class suckers who are supposed to finance the scheme.... not so much.
And while the Bush Administration believed its intelligence reports, there is no way O could possibly have believed the swarm of lies he used to promote the scheme. And if you like the insurance you have now, CAN you keep it???
Mon, 2013-10-28 19:06
I would have to agree with this line of thinking if I were able to accept the premise that the degree of desire to fix the website had an influence upon the speed at which it will be fixed. Unfortunately, this is where Obamacare is like Iraq: no matter how badly Bush wanted pacification, the dual insurgencies wouldn't permit it, and there was nothing he could do about it. Hence a 10-year war. Similarly, the systems integration problem that is at the heart of the ACA website will not yield to additional resource commitment. The problem is that the scores of systems that must be integrated are of different vintages, written on different languages, and reside on different hardware platforms. They are old and kludgey and to a great extent undocumented with undocumented subsequent patches. Even small systems integration projects can take decades. One of this scale, which must permit communication with 100% accuracy in real time at high volume verges on the impossible. This would have been flagged at least two years ago if a first-class general contractor such as IBM or Accenture had been assigned this project. As it happened, thee was no general contractor aside from the 9 to 5 health policy bureaucrats at HHS. At least in Iraq, there was always the "just leave" strategy; for ACA there is no exit strategy since repeal would be as disastrous as failure.
Mon, 2013-10-28 21:15
Other way around. Iraq war well conceived and well won. The mistake war carrying what happened in Iraq after.
ACA was designed to fail. Perhaps due to its many inconveniences we might actually decide to improve things and gain greater supply greater access greater competition and greater patient choice. Perhaps not - perhaps repeal, a step back; maybe even single-payer, a catastrophe.
ACA can't work as designed. Taxes to pay for subsidies can not be voluntary nor the direct cause of pricing driving the profitable (healthier) customers away.
The website can't work either - no way it makes sense to block access to pricing before subsidy determination. Then requirements are set to inconvenience 90% of the people, in order to protect the President and his allies, less than 500 people. The ultimate in reverse Progressivism, to me.

"Nor has the opening of the exchanges revealed anything fraudulent about the basic case Barack Obama made for passing the law in the first place."
Actually it has revealed fraud. Which reminds me, for some reason food and drug industries aren't allowed to say just anything they want to promote their products. I expect it to be different now:
Me: I want to market this caffeinated drink that gives an energy boost and cures cancer. That's what I'll put in the ads.
FDA (imitating Bernstein): OK, go ahead. The basic case is true. It does give an energy boost.
BTW, some of us have been making the Iraq/ObamaCare comparison for a few years now. If Bernstein is going to write an article debunking the comparison, he might want to take the trouble to learn what's actually in it.

Miami Hurricanes Football Tickets
Miami Hurricanes Football Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews
2013: 9-4 (5-3 ACC); lost Russell Athletic Bowl to Louisville The 'Canes got off to a great 7-0 start in 2013. The biggest win was an intense Week 2 home victory over in-state heated rival Florida before their season spiraled out of control. The 7-0 start led to a huge matchup at archrival Florida State in a game that would determine ACC supremacy for the season. FSU blew out Miami and injured superstar running back Duke Johnson, sending Miami spinning to lose the next two to Virginia Tech and upstart Duke. They recovered to win the last two games but didn't show up to their bowl matchup vs Louisville; a 36-9 loss that only confirmed the team had serious defensive problems in the secondary. Despite having Johnson and great insurance in Dallas Crawford and Gus Edwards in the backfield, the Canes led a pro-style pass-first attack behind QB Stephen Morris. Morris graduated and next-in-line Ryan Williams is out for the season, so freshman Kevin Olsen has the inside track at the job after redshirting last year. The four-star recruit has a lead on true freshman Brad Kaaya, also highly touted, and sophomore Gray Crow. Stacy Coley is turning into one of the best wide receivers in the ACC, replacing Allen Hurns (1,162 yards). Miami gets another crack at Louisville in Week 1; the other biggest games are definitely at Nebraska and at home against Florida State. The Miami Hurricanes are based in Coral Gables, Florida at the University of Miami and are members of the ACC. The Hurricanes are one of the most decorated football programs in college sports and since their first title in 1983, they have claimed 5 national titles total, 9 conference titles, and boast 3 undefeated seasons. They had the #1 ranking at some point in the 1983, 1984, and 1986-1992 seasons. The 2001 Miami Hurricanes went undefeated to win the national championship and had the most players go on to be first-round draft picks of any college football team ever. More current NFL players came from Miami than any other college. The Hurricanes play their home games at Sun Life Stadium, the same stadium as the Miami Dolphins. Some of Miami's biggest rivals are Florida, Florida State, and Notre Dame. Gold Coast Tickets has the best tickets for "The U" all season long!

Maricopa sends out 2014 property taxes
PHOENIX -- The Maricopa County Assessor's Office has sent out 1.5 million valuation notices for tax year 2014 to property owners in the county.
"If your valuation goes up, it doesn't mean your tax bill is going up," said MCAO spokesman Paul Petersen. "The main thing is to check if the valuation is correct. If it is, you don't have to do anything. If it's incorrect, then you need to appeal."
Petersen urged property owners to check the full cash value. If the amount is more than what they can sell your house for, then they should appeal. They have until April 23 to file the appeal.

As someone who has to read and manage a lot of email in my inbox, i'd like to suggest;
1. don't do it. please send in nice clean text that I can view as I like. I constantly get people sending me emails in weird and wacky ways with things like HTML that is totally broken to the point I can't strip it out or rtf.. I had one company that sent everything as a PDF attachment wtf is that about?!. I'd just like a plain text email that I can assign my own fonts to , not size 8px red on orange background or size 120px klingon superscript. I know this propbalby doens't apply to you, but I do prefer my emails to be clean.
2. Yeah, don't do that either. I hate it when I have to wait several minutes for new mail to finish downloading because someone decided it'd be great to send screenshots of issues, lots of screen shot and attachthem to the email... or the actual email as a PDF file.. please use links to anything you want the recepiant to view where possible, please.
Not sure what you're actually looking for with updated features. Email is, or rather should be pretty basic and feature set by now.

If you're new to From the Diary of an Application Developer, this is a weekly column where I share my experiences, tips and overall expertise on application development with you. This is the sixth week, so you aren't too far behind, but you'll probably want to start out with the first article.
By now, half of your team should have immaculate Photoshop mock-ups of each screen of your app, and the other half should be a programming ninja when it comes to the SDK. (If not, take some more time to revise those screenshots and another week or two (or three or four) to get to know your SDK a little better.) So, I think you're ready to delve deep into converting those static images into something resembling an application (by adding, let's say, some code behind it?)
Step One: Get Dropbox
Hopefully, you and your partner have been working on two separate computers. I should have mentioned this in the first post, but two computers allows for better collaboration and time management. So, if you're using two computers, install Dropbox on both of them. It will make this process go a lot smoother.
Dropbox is an online application that helps you synchronize and share files. This is a very useful bridge between the world of programming and design. This is the main tool (other than the SDK) that we will use to go from Photoshop to App Store. So, unless you want to wait for Gmail to load your attachments, go and get Dropbox now.
Step Two: Slicing and Dicing Those Screenshots
You know those nice Photoshop screenshots you've been pouring over for the past few weeks? Well, now I want you to rip them apart. Sorry, didn't mean to make it sound so harsh, but that's what it's time for.
First, in Dropbox, make a bunch of new folders—one for each page of your application. Then, make sub-folders within these folders. Make as many as you need. For example, these sub-folders might be called "Images," "Text," "Buttons," etc. Don't blow this step off. You'll thank me. Organization is very important if you want to work efficiently and end up with a great final product.
Next, splice your Photoshop files into just buttons, text, images, etc. and save each one individually as a PNG within the proper Dropbox folder. Be sure to save the static images of your app's screens and all of those notes you've typed up regarding how the app will behave into these folders, as well.
You want to make life as easy as possible for your programmer, because he or she is going to be working some long hours on this next step…
Step Three: SDK-ifying the Screenshots
This next step is devilishly straightforward: convert these static Photoshop images, using the components in your Dropbox filesystem, to program your app.
I'm sorry to say it, but there's not much help I can lend you here. It's going to be a lot of trial and error, a lot of Google searches and forum-hunting, and a lot of long nights. But, it will all be worth it in the end. Don't think of the app as a whole, but take baby steps. Don't say to yourself, "I can't believe I have 9 more screens of this app to program." Instead, think, "Just finish this one page…nothing else exists besides this single page of this application…" You may think you're insane, but psyching yourself out during huge undertakings like this one is never a bad idea.
While going through the screenshots and notes, you may discover something that you simply can't program. First, make sure you can't do it. Check Google, forums, the official SDK helper, etc. If you can't do it, tell your designer. They'll help you come up with a solution; it may be a compromise, or maybe you have to just scrap a feature and hold it off for a future update. There's no shame in that. You're going to want to come out with future updates to generate buzz about your app, anyways.
The designer has it easy this week. All they have to do is some tedious work in Photoshop. Your programmer, on the other hand, well, just don't be surprised if they get a little bit cranky.
Next week we will discuss more about the programming aspect of development.

Final Score: New York 102, New Orleans 80
New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - The New York Knicks have rebounded from their lone loss in emphatic fashion.
Carmelo Anthony tallied 19 of his game-high 29 points in the first quarter and the Knicks opened a three-game road trip with a 102-80 rout of the New Orleans Hornets.
"It was good to get it going early," Anthony said. "Any time you can start off on the road like that, in the first quarter like that, it gives us a lot of confidence."
Anthony's first-quarter total elcipsed New Orleans' 17-point opening stanza.
Raymond Felton recorded 15 points and six assists, J.R. Smith netted 15 and Tyson Chandler pulled down 12 rebounds for New York, which righted itself with an 88-76 home win against the Indiana Pacers Sunday following its defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies two days prior.
The Knicks' road trip continues Wednesday in Dallas and concludes Friday in Houston.
Ryan Anderson had 15 points for the Hornets, who were without rookie Anthony Davis after he injured his ankle during Friday's practice.
New Orleans has dropped four straight contests.
"We made a lot of youthful plays," Hornets head coach Monty Williams said. "I thought we took some very tough shots against a very good team and you can't do that."
The Hornets cut the deficit to 56-52 following an Anderson jumper, but the Knicks countered with a 20-6 run to seize control of the contest.
Ronnie Brewer, who was fouled on a 3-point attempt, made two of the three foul shots to cap the surge and make it 76-58.
The margin swelled to as many as 21 before the visitors took an 83-64 advantage into the final frame.
The lead reached its apex at 26 in the fourth.
New York outscored New Orleans by 12 points in the first and led, 53-48, at the break.
Game Notes
Anthony averaged just 18.3 points per game over his last three contests coming in ... The Knicks outrebounded the Hornets, 49-36 ... New York committed just 10 turnovers.

Oh it has office? I must have missed that part. Well that explains it then. Still, people are going to be really ticked off that they are not getting the full 32 GB of space, or at least 80% of it. That probably explains why MS put an SD card slot on it for expansion.

I agree with Chris on letting users on an RT tablet access the desktop. From the MOMENT I heard they were going to let users do that on the ARM version of windows I said it was a HORRIBLE idea!!!
Posted 15 November 2012 - 05:34
You do know that Chris bought the Surface without a touch or type cover.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 06:33
I don't think that matters. it's an ARM based version of Windows. None of your regular apps run in on the windows 8 ARM desktop (Except office and whatever other regular windows apps it has). I just think the arm tablet should stay 100% Modern UI. When you drop back to the desktop on the ARM tablet it just looks TACKY!

Posted 15 November 2012 - 15:25
I find chris annoying. His 'review' was pathetic and opinion of the surface thereafter, misleading. He never gave it a chance or used it for what it can do. Windows RT, Office, preinstalled apps, and the recovery partition taking up half of the capacity is crappy and maybe a shocker at first but when you think about it, it is to be expected. You can remove the recovery partition and put it on a usb to free up some space.
this is just one video out of many out there that shows what surface can do that no other tablet can.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 04:33
No other tablet can do that? Ahhh... You can use a PS3 gamepad with an Android tablet and output the result using HDMI out to your projector & receiver...

The "Science & Technology Set" sounds very interesting... definitely sounds like one of many potential new releases.
I don't have any additional information... you know as much as I do now. But I'll definitely check into it.

Isn't that the same link you posted April 1st?
Or are we supposed to be looking at something new on that page?

The posted link takes me to the $59.00 product 'W979648', which is the 671 'extra pieces' kit.
I've scoured the page for 'Science & Education' on that page and can't find anything. It's friday, I'm tired, so I might be missing it, but can you check the link?
- Jun 17, 2006, 7:20:00 AM
Alright, nevermind.
The description text mentions another set that isn't yet pictured. Now I get it.
The quote:
The set was specifically designed to complement the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education Base Set, as well as the new Science & Technology Set due to release later in 2006
- Jun 17, 2006, 7:25:00 AM
Looking at the picture, there is some thing that looks like an oversised tread in teh compartment with all the other wheels and tyres. Is LEGO finaly coming out with a bigger set of tracks?
- Jun 17, 2006, 7:52:00 AM
What's up guys?
I think the LEGO Education page mentioned the "Science & Technology Set" way back in April when Jim first posted the link and it was discussed.
Sorry to bring you back to the ground. The Science & Technology Set is not particularly exciting, just some mini-figures and Technic wheels, beams & such. Pictures are on LEGO Educations "West Coast" site:

You know, LEGO could really do some amazing things here with some expansion packs that focus on specific tasks...
A Science & Tech kit that teaches things such as gravity, inertia, force, etc. by building bots that the user builds to test theories... maybe a workbook for keeping track of data (lab book)... the one you posted doesn't look like it even integrates the NXT/RCX bots.
- Jun 18, 2006, 1:52:00 AM
Well, thats not as exciting. Curious that they dont have that info on the main website. (peeron didn't have it as an old kit so I guess its new.)
But other good things turned up by scouring the sites are:
RCX support & ed sales till 2009.
NXT comes with BATTERIES INCLUDED (remember the movie?) durracells even. (on the main commercial pre-order site on the humanoid image and at the bottom of the description is a durracell included image. Exactly 6. Get right to it once it arrives.
- Jun 18, 2006, 2:03:00 AM
The 'with batteries' pack has been listed as 'sold out', while the 'not with batteries' pack isn't.
Of course, I buy my by the 48 pack from Costco... 2 bricks of 48 are ready and waiting.
- Jun 19, 2006, 1:56:00 PM
CAUTION: Lego Ed is a bit crazy - I mean they insist their NXT brick inernal programming will be different than the public brick and then provide no info - The price on the NXT expansion set looks good (we'll see in August) but other offerings are overpriced (don't believe the pix on the web page - 1 pump and 1 pneumatic cyl. only combination available currently in that line, will set you back US$10.
Speaking of PNEUMATICS and the rapidly disappearing brick and accessory packs - call the 800- number todaqy and request the stuff they're not showing that you can use - they swear all comments make it trans-atlantic.

Holiday events in Bennington County kick-off on SaturdayBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | November 23,2012BENNINGTON Bennington County will be kicking off the holiday season on Saturday with a first-time event in Benningtons downtown, the return of a traditional event at the Bennington Museum and a tree-lighting in Manchester.
Benningtons Our Hometown Holiday downtown event, a promotion which encourages people to consider supporting local retailers, will be part of Small Business Saturday for the first time this year.
John Shannahan, executive director of the Better Bennington Corp., said Saturday would be a day when all the holiday lights are turned on downtown and Santa and Mrs. Claus pays a visit courtesy of the Bennington Fire Department, whose members will drop him off at the organizations office and welcome center on South Street.
Shannahan said this will be the first year Santas visit is at the BBCs office and said the advantage was that while Santa is there, from 10 a.m. to noon, visitors can stand inside and keep warm. The National Weather Service is predicting a 30 percent chance of rain or snow on Saturday and a high temperature of 38 degrees.
From there, Santa will be taken to the Bennington Museum for the kickoff of the 16th annual Festival of Trees with Family Day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission to the museum is $1 on Saturday and any child who brings a nonperishable item for the Tree of Thanks, to be donated to the Greater Bennington Interfaith Communitys Kitchen Cupboard, is admitted free.
Some activities require an additional fee of up to $3 but many are free.
Children, ages 4 to 12, can shop for presents at the museum, with helpers assisting them in picking out items that cost between $1 and $7. The children can also wrap and tag the items at the museum.
Students from more than 40 classrooms in Bennington, Shaftsbury, Woodford, North Bennington and Pownal have decorated miniature trees that will be on display at the Childrens Forest in the Grandma Moses Schoolhouse. Visitors can buy a $1 ticket to win one of the trees.
Curator Jamie Franklin said on Wednesday this years festival, which runs through Dec. 30, has the theme, Around the World. More than 20 trees will be display, among them, a tree with a vignette based on Japanese culture.
Other people have used the tree and put on various ornaments that reflect traditions around the world. Nova Mae Cafe (a Main Street business) did kind of a quirky take on it with witches around the world. Its a Halloween-themed Christmas tree so theres a wide variety of vignettes, Franklin said.
The museums annual gala, its most important fundraiser will be at 7 p.m. on Dec. 8 and a holiday dance party, Afterglow, will be at 8 p.m. on Dec. 21.
In Manchester, the tree lighting will be at 4 p.m. Saturday at the town green. Santa will be arriving by fire truck at that event as well.
At the Hometown Holiday, the Bennington County Choral Society, The Chamber Singers, and the Brass and Woodwind Players will be caroling in shops and restaurants along Main Street beginning at 11 a.m. There will be three drawings for downtown shopping sprees, at noon at Panache; at 1 p.m., at Evans News; and at 2 p.m. at Jays Art Shop and Frame Gallery. Winners must be present in order to claim the prize.

Vice President for Mission and Ministry
People all over the world view our American culture as centered on work. Our Puritan ancestors gave us a work ethic which drives many Americans to work more hours each week than any other people. Americans are, they say, a people who live to work, rather than a people who work to live.
Yet if we reflect on our own experiences of vacations and holidays, we begin to see that our activity-driven life is not necessarily good for us physically, mentally or spiritually. After a true break away from whatever we consider our normal activity, we find we are more productive, more energized and more engaged than before when we may have been absorbed by work. Recreation really gives us an opportunity to "re-create" our selves.
Our own summer breaks ended a few weeks ago. Labor Day has come and gone. As we get back into the swing of our work here at SLU as students, faculty and staff, we can, with some clear and real benefit to our lives and our work, reflect on the lessons we learn from these renewing, re-creating experiences.
If breaks from the grind of our daily, ordinary tasks are beneficial, then might we not have more of them? Now, no one suggests or condones slacking from work or advocating more official holidays. Rather, this can challenge each of us to examine our lives and how we might find times and places to give ourselves some time away-physically, psychologically and spiritually.
Whether we commit to regular prayer, a short walk, a longer retreat-type of experience or an activity completely different from what we usually do, this time away from the hustle and bustle of whatever we consider our normal day (five minutes or 30 minutes, perhaps), will give us a similar experience as our longer experiences away from work. We can learn to see and to place work in balance in our lives, so that we don't live to work but work to live.
Our University Mission calls us to pursue truth for the greater glory of God and the service of humanity. Ignatius, in his Spiritual Exercises, calls us to cultivate and live in moderation and balance in all things, and not excess in any things. That's real service to ourselves...and we're all part of humanity.

Sidra Khan is attending Wilson College for the spring 2012 semester through the U.S. Department of State's Global Undergraduate Exchange Program in Pakistan.
A sophomore at Punjab University in her home city of Lahore, Pakistan, she is studying environmental sciences and hopes to become an environmentalist, working to save the planet.
Though Sidra is passionate about the environmental field now, her first career choice was medicine. But when she wasn't admitted to one of Pakistan's highly competitive government colleges, she looked for an alternative.
"I thought if I'm not a doctor, then I have to do something really extraordinary in my life," Sidra said. "I want to help Pakistan to face the global challenges and I want to contribute my part to make Pakistan independent in the field of environmental science."
Sidra is active in her homeland, co-founding Green Minds and serving as a coordinator for the Pakistan Sustainability Network, both environmental organizations run by Pakistani youth. She is also a member of the Youth Parliament of Pakistan, an initiative founded by a well-known singer to engage youth and encourage them to make a change in the future.
Sidra comes from an upper-middle class family. Her father is a government officer and her mother, a former teacher, is currently a homemaker. Sidra has six siblings, including a twin brother.
"My mother and father help us to be good human beings. They want us to be a good person, a good Muslim and then a good Pakistani," she said. "After my God, my parents are the most inspiring and motivational source for me."
The Global UGRAD-Pakistan program provides its students with one academic term of non-degree undergraduate U.S. study. Students are chosen on a highly competitive basis and represent a diverse group of emerging student leaders from underrepresented sectors of Pakistan.
As part of her obligation to the exchange program, Sidra is a cultural ambassador, giving presentations about Pakistan and its culture to local community groups. She also performs community service at Penn Hall and at Wilson's Child Care Center.
"People are very curious. They have lots of questions to ask and I love to answer their questions," Sidra said. "It's a very good opportunity to show them where I'm from and what I'm all about."
As for her Wilson College experience, she said it has been eye-opening in many ways.
"It's a great and challenging environment, I must say. The studies are very challenging," said Sidra. "These are some of the golden moments of my life that I am spending over here. I am happy that I'm going back to Pakistan, but I am sad because I will miss the United States and my friends here."
After earning her bachelor's degree, Sidra hopes to return to the U.S. to get a doctorate in environmental sciences.

What's Courtney Stodden's next move? Hint: It involves a stripper pole!
First and foremost, however, the 18-year-old is going to be making her live singing debut Nov. 21 at the Abbey in West Hollywood. Flanked by a pair of chiseled dancers, Doug Hutchison's teen bride will perform her own original song, "Reality," and yes, pole-dance.

Courtney went as a sexy unicorn for Halloween
"I wouldn't say I'm nervous, but since it's my first live performance, I'm feeling a tad anxious—but in a good way!" she said, adding that she's very excited to meet her fans up close.
"Oh, my goodness, the Abbey is the biggest gay nightclub in the world!" Stodden gushed. "I love, adore and respect the gay community so much and can't wait to meet everyone. I can't think of anywhere else to spend Thanksgiving!"
And look for the aspiring artist to channel a range of famous entertainers, not all of them women.
Courtney and hubby Doug Hutchison talk family planning
"The singers who've influenced me the most are Nancy Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Rosemary Clooney, Lady Gaga, Britney Spearsand Christina Aguilera," she tells us.
