Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4")
Marie G.Ft. Worth, TexasHairLight BrownNormal HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairAs Good As The Chi, But Not Better.I ordered this according to the rave reviews on folica.com I had a Chi that I was VERY HAPPY with, but it broke from being accidentally dropped too many times. I almost ordered another Chi but thought I'd try a different product. I LIKE this product but I don't see much of a difference between the Chi and the Solia. The price was the same as the Chi. I am a 40-something woman who has shoulder length (color treated) semi-wavy hair (base is mostly grey, unfortunately, so hair is course and sort of wiry). I see no difference in the "silkiness" and "softness" claims by other users compared to the Chi. It is a VERY GOOD product. As good as the Chi I think, but not better in my opinion. Only difference is that this has a "heat control" setting and the Chi I had did not have one (only on/off) switch but that made no difference in my buying decision. I just wanted to see if there were other products out there as good as the Chi. If you are searching for a flat iron equal or as good as the Chi, this is the product. By the way....I've ordered a few things on folica.com and have been VERY HAPPY with the results. The prices are fantastic. The products are the REAL DEAL on this website. I'm skeptical by nature and I was worried they'd be "knock-offs" but they are not. If you are a first time user of this site, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ordering from here.

ChristinaHairMedium BrownCurly HairMagicThis hair straightener is amazing. I tried my mothers when I returned home from school for a weekend - I immediately asked her where she purchased hers and ordered one for myself. I live in a sorority house, and all of my friends have said that my hair looks much healthier, and many of them ask to borrow my magic straightener. I have curly hair, so usually when I straighten it it is a little fuzzy, when I use the Solia I literally see and feel no sign of my curly hair. I definitely recommend buying this.

MarieHairDark BrownCurly HairBe Careful Of This Change If You Have Very Curly HairI had a Solia flat iron that I loved because it did a great job at straightning my kinky curly hair. The temp went up to 450 degrees and that's the temp that I needed to straighten my hair, so when this flat iron started to lose its ability to stay hot I didn't even consider looking at other flat irons. I ordered another Solia but this time they had changed the max heat to 400 degrees and I noticed the difference right away. I was extremely disappointed that they made that change and turned a great flat iron into a disappointing tool.

Mary R.HairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairGreat Product And A Great ValueMy last flat iron was a Chi and I loved it. It lasted a few years, but I had to stop using it because the "box" that plugs in to the outlet fell apart. This flat iron works just as well and costs a lot less. I am very happy with my purchase.

ChandraBuffalo, New YorkAwesome Flat Iron!This is an amazing flat iron! I had a Bed Head flat iron for about 3 years and loved that one until it died. I was researching the Chi Flat Irons and came across the Solia flat iron. This is an AMAZING flat iron! Im soooo glad i bought this one and not a Chi !

Michelle F.KentuckyHairMedium BrownNormal HairCurly HairGood Or Better Than A Chi!Works as good or better than a CHI! And costs less. I have naturally curly hair and I can straighten it the night before and it's board straight when I wake up the next morning!

AllysonHairMedium BrownNormal HairDefinitely Wouldn't Buy This AgainAfter reading all of the positive reviews, I decided to try the Solia. This is the worst flat iron I have had yet. The plates aren't that smooth and so they pull on my hair when I run it through, damaging and breaking the ends. You will be able get your hair smooth and straight with it, but it this brand is definitely not worth the money. I can buy a drugstore iron for what this one does.

KatelynnHairBlondeColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairI Love This Product!!I LOVE this hair straightener!! This is my first time having a professional hair sraightener and im amazed. My old one never kept my hair straight all day but this one does. This sraightener even came with a little bottle of sedu hair protecter serum, i actually like it alot and it makes my hair shiny and smooth. My old one also got my hair stuck in between the plates and if youve had this happen to you, you know that it really hurts! The solia hair straightener doesnt do this! Im from Canada and i was a little worried about the shipping but it was really easy and it came quicker than i thought. However, the only reason i gave this product a 4 out of 5 was because it doesnt tell you when its done heating up, you just have to guess. Even though it would have been much nicer to have it tell you when its ready i would have still boughten this product. I hope this review helped you!!

Cindy N.Baldwin Park, CAHairDark BrownOily HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairOne Straightener To Rule Them All!I have never used a flat iron that didn't tug my hair or pull it out. I've never used an iron that didn't require me to go over the same section of hair multiple times. I've never used an iron that didn't burn my hair or left it frizzy no matter what I use. I've never used an iron like the Solia, which doesn't do ANY of that!
It's amazingly lightweight so my hand doesn't want to fall off when I'm done. I usually use the highest heating level because my hair is so curly but I didn't have to at all with the Solia. What used to take me an hour to do now only takes me about 15-20 minutes and I'm loving it!
I've never had an expensive iron but it was my birthday, so I thought I'd treat myself. My sister recommended the Solia after using my mom's Chi and my own Bed Head "Light me Up." I don't know how I've gone so long without it!
My hair is: Dark brown, curly, dry, long, and unbearable sometimes
I bought this product because: My sister recommended it after some research
I used it this way: Shower, towel dry, blow dry, heat guard product, then the Solia, then some frizz product
My results were: Amazing! Straight, soft, and shiny!
I liked it because: I LOVE it because it works, straightens in only half the time, and didn't tug/pull my hair
I would recommend it because: I've gone through a million "drug store" straighteners because I was being cheap - but I think I've spent more money doing that then just buying a good one which is worth it in the end.
I think it's be good for someone with hair like: All hair!119 out of 121 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

text: There was a massive void in the Saints' backfield earlier this season when RBs Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush missed long stretches with injuries. Bush returned from a broken leg in Week 12 and Thomas is expected to play in Week 14 for the first time since he injured his ankle in Week Three. With the two top two backs dealing with their injuries, undrafted rookie Chris Ivory took advantage of his opportunity to get involved. He has made a major impression on head coach Sean Payton, who has said he doesn't want to reduce Ivory's workload even though Bush and Thomas are getting back to 100 percent. Ivory, a violent and powerful runner, has scored all five of his touchdowns in the past three games, which were all New Orleans victories, and he's gaining 5.2 yards per carry on the season. Ivory appears to have a firm hold on his job with Thomas heading toward free agency.

Even after that time, the liberal arts were the preferred subjects to study at the elite colleges. Very few such colleges even offered more career-oriented majors. Even today, quite a few of the elite unis don't offer a business major, for example.
And you know how I feel about student writing. I know we'd like to think that students learn this stuff in high school, but the reality is that the number of students needing remedial math and English in college contradicts that. The info may be available to them in HS, but they certainly don't learn it.

Plans for a new Tappan Zee Bridge, the state's single largest infrastructure project, moved forward Jan. 18 when the State Comptroller and Attorney General approved a contract for the design and building of the structure.
Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman approved a $3.142 billion contract with Tappan Zee Constructors (TZC), a consortium that includes Fluor Enterprises, American Bridge Company, Granite Construction Northeast, and Traylor Bros.
"The final approval on this contract is another milestone for the new bridge project that is now ready to break ground this year," said Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. "After a decade of delay, we now have a final approved bid that will give the Hudson Valley a new bridge with the best price, the shortest construction time, require the least amount of dredging and be a foundation for future mass transit. The transformation of this bridge project represents what state government can accomplish in the new New York."
Still to be approved are a financial plan, toll increase, and debt insurance.
"Replacing the Tappan Zee Bridge is New York state's largest single infrastructure project and is vital to our economic prosperity," DiNapoli said. "To protect taxpayers, my office will closely scrutinize the Thruway's oversight of the construction of the new bridge. The Thruway Authority is responsible for proposing a financing plan and must live up to its commitment to pursue the lowest cost options and ensure that its customers are paying the lowest possible tolls. Every effort must be taken to minimize costs for this project and protect the long-term fiscal health of the Thruway system."
TZC said they are pleased to be moving ahead. The group won the bid after coming in 20 percent lower than the other two competitive bids for the project. The plan is based on a five-to-six-year time line. As Patch has reported, construction is expected to begin as soon as spring.
The new bridge will have eight lanes, emergency lanes and extra-wide shoulders for express bus service. There will be a bicycle and pedestrian path, and at least three highway speed E-ZPass lanes.
New York State Thruway Board of Directors Chairman Howard P. Milstein called the project, "vital to the long-term economic well-being of the lower Hudson Valley and the entire region."
After the approval was announced, DiNapoli said to CBS News, "The big question is still out there — how do we pay for it?"

Corsicana Daily Sun
Editor's note: This is the first in a series of articles about efforts to preserve the history of small towns in Navarro County.
After collecting hundreds of historic photographs, and printing a 400-page book about Frost's history, the residents of Frost are looking at another goal — a Frost history museum.
Danny Gillespie, who is the city secretary and one of a series of informal historians for Frost, began collecting photos last year for what he envisioned as a booklet for local folks in honor of the city's 125th anniversary celebration. When it was finished, they had a large-scale book with photos that ranged from the sweet and endearing family shots that could be anyone's grandparents, to the photos of a devastated town in the aftermath of a killer tornado.
"Reception has been wonderful," Gillespie said. "We've sold 175 and we're doing our second printing."
Each copy of the book costs $65, and after taking out the printing costs, the rest is going into a the budding museum. Gillespie has mailed copies of the book all over the U.S. to former Frost residents. The charming photos include a "pin-up" photo sent by Sammie Armstrong, one leg bared and hand on hip, that she sent to her husband, Arnold, in the Navy during World War II, and dozens of houses, farmers, kids, horses and dogs from every decade since 1890.
"Even if they're not from here, it's fun to look through for the pictures," Gillespie said.
Although the museum is following the book, there has always been interest in a museum in Frost, said David Malone, chairman of the society.
"There's always been interest from a few individuals to start a museum," he said. "We look at the book as a starting point because we got a lot of interest stirred from collecting those images and the brief history that was put in, but it did exist in a few people's minds to do it."
Location was part of the initial challenge, Gillespie said.
"At first, we looked at the second floor of City Hall, which after the 1930 tornado housed the First National Bank and Masonic Lodge, but we knew that with the current ADA requirements, it would be cost prohibitive," Gillespie said. Larry and Debe Kern then offered up an alternative — the former Frost movie theater at 116 N. Garrity.
The first business in that site was Beene Bros. Furniture and Undertakers, which sold caskets 24-hours a day, and was converted into the theater in the 1940s. When that closed in the 1960s, it housed "The Purple Radish," a kind of dance hang-out for the high school crowd. It has since been an antique store, a video rental store, and a private home.
"It's been so many things over the years. Now it's going to be a museum," Malone said.
A donation allowed the city to reroof the building, and with the help of county community service workers and jail trustees, they've taken out the raised floor and stripped out some of the weird additions that were made in the last three or four decades.
Except for the roof, they've spent only about $200 on the building so far.
"Even though it's a department of the city, we're trying to operate off private donations," Gillespie explained.
The relatively new Historical Society, made up of Malone, Jimmy Mitchell, Gillespie, Ken Reed, Cheryl Tatum, Theresa Martin, and Robert Ballew held a meeting just last week to vote on the name of the museum, which will be the Frost Heritage Center. They chose not to call it a museum because they want it to be more than a place to house remnants of Frost's past.
The center will have a full kitchen, ADA bathrooms, and a meeting space. The organizers admit it's a work in progress, and they're far from opening the doors to the public, but working with donated space, donated labor and donated funds means taking a little time.
"It's still kind of loosey-goosey right now, but we're getting more formalized," Malone said. "We're just so shocked that it's moving along. It's been kind of refreshing."
Civic-minded Frost residents have been donating things to the city for years, things like great-grandma's bonnet, letter jackets and yearbooks, and there are promises of World War II materials, even parts of buildings and businesses that were once proud parts of Frost's commercial district. The anticipation is that there will finally be a place to display it all.
"We've got stuff, and people need to see this stuff," Gillespie said. "It doesn't belong in a storeroom."

Ask Canton's Golden Girl what it's like to have Olympic gold medalist attached to her name and Allison Schmitt flashes the smile that never seems to leave her face.
In London, Schmitt had kept her five medals – three gold, one silver, and one bronze - under her bed for safekeeping. But now, less than 24 hours after returning home from the Summer Games where she had become a household name, the events of the previous three weeks still hadn't sunk in.
Ask her when it will, when her Olympic glory will all become real, and the smile returns.
"I don't know when it's going to sink in," Schmitt said Tuesday night before becoming the guest of honor at a homecoming rally at . "It definitely hadn't sunk in when I stood up (on the medal stand) and heard the national anthem and it hasn't sunk in yet.
"I don't know when it will….I'm still on Cloud Nine."
Staying busy
Schmitt, a 2008 graduate, returned from London Monday night, setting foot in her hometown for the first time since Christmas. The day had been busy – up at 7, taking care of one interview request after another, before making appearances at her parents' workplaces to shake hands, pose for photos and sign autographs.
But from the moment she made her first scheduled public appearance at Tuesday night's rally, the ever-present smile that became an Olympic storyline never left. Schmitt arrived behind a police escort, welcomed to the Heritage Park amphitheater by flag-waving well-wishers who snapped photos with their cameras and Smartphones.
Schmitt admitted to reporters earlier that she had always wanted to be famous. Now, at 22, with two Olympic appearances behind her and looking forward to a third in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Schmitt is adjusting to being one of the faces of USA Swimming.
In London, Schmitt established a new Olympic record in the 200 freestyle while also swimming the anchor leg of the gold-medal 4x200 freestyle relay as well as the freestyle leg of the world-record setting 4x100 medley. She also claimed a silver medal in the 400 freestyle and a bronze in the 4x100 meter freestyle relay.
A star is born
Earlier in the day Tuesday, a young fan walked up to her and started to cry, overtaken by the excitement of just being able to shake the hand of Canton's hometown hero.
Following Tuesday night's ceremony, Schmitt signed autographs and posed for more photos, accommodating a line of local residents that snaked around the Heritage Park hillside where the rally had taken place.
Whenever she has stepped out in public since winning the five medals in London, fans have approached her, wanting to know if she's Allison Schmitt.
She has quickly discovered that life will be different from this point forward.
"I feel when people recognize me, I'm still no movie star, " Schmitt said. "But I'm trying to get there.
"When people see me, they say, 'There goes the gold medal girl.'"
During Tuesday night's rally, Supervisor Phil LaJoy honored Schmitt with a proclamation, reaching out to the Olympic star in an attempt to lighten her load.
Hometown remains special
Schmitt, who has won four NCAA National Championships at the University of Georgia, will return to school Thursday, resuming her life as a college student. LaJoy said if Schmitt found herself having difficulty packing for school, her hometown could help her out.
"I know you've got a lot of medals and if you don't want to lug them all over the country, we could keep them here for you," LaJoy joked. "I promise to only wear them on special occasions."
Schmitt says she has been happy to allow fans to get up close and personal with her medal collection – which now numbers six after she won a bronze medal at the 2008 Summer Games.
She points to the number of people around Canton who have impacted her life that she now feels obliged to share in her success with them. Among those who attended Tuesday's rally were former teachers, classmates and teammates – all of whom still hold a special place in Schmitt's heart.
The hometown response wasn't lost on Schmitt's family, either.
As his daughter signed autographs, Ralph Schmitt held onto the remaining four medals his daughter had brought home from London. As surreal as the entire Olympic experience had been for Ralph Schmitt and his family – all who traveled to London for the Games – seeing local fans turn out like they did Tuesday made it even more meaningful.
"This is so special," Ralph Schmitt said. "This is the reason why we came to Canton – for this kind of community."
Remaining true
Schmitt already has her sights set on 2016, looking to build on an Olympic dream that she hopes is far from over. She is committed to remaining true to herself, understanding that she's now a role model for a new generation of swimmers.
Encouraged by her family and her coaches never to give up, Schmitt passed that advice on to young fans, reminding them that when she first started competitive swimming, she wasn't winning state championships – let alone Olympic medals.
But now that she's here, a bona fide swimming superstar who has formed a tight bond with her fellow Olympians, including Michael Phelps, Schmitt won't forget where she came from.
"This is my favorite place to be," Schmitt said. "It's a very welcoming place, I feel comfortable here and I love be to be here. To be able to be here with my family, relax with my family and with all my friends and supporters that are in this town, it's a great atmosphere to be in."

K. J. Ross & Associates (KJ Ross) was engaged to test the performance of Deakin's business critical Learning Management System (LMS). Download the PDF version of the case study here.
K. J. Ross & Associates (KJ Ross) was initially engaged to test the performance of Deakin's business critical Learning Management System (LMS). After reviewing the results, KJ Ross was additionally engaged to test the performance of the business critical LMS integrated synchronous communications tool, eLive. Initially the proposal was to test the LMS and the integrated synchronous communications tool hosted in an offshore cloud only, however after preliminary performance results were reviewed, testing against a locally hosted version was also completed. KJ Ross completed both onshore and offshore testing using the following tools:
- HP Load Runner 9.5 and 11.0
- Micro Focus Silk Performer
- HP Quick Test Professional
Since there were no suitable protocols in the existing load test tools, timeframes/budget and because of lack of support from the developers Deakin's existing load testing tools were not viable to be used with the integrated synchronous communications tool. However KJ Ross was able to use Deakin's QTP licenses to generate load on the system and then the test team manually tested the performance of the system under expected load. This was a quick solution that gave the business an idea on how the application would behave. As a result of the above testing Deakin University decided to host the LMS and the integrated synchronous communications tool locally from their own data centre.
For the LMS product, KJ Ross performance tested the offshore and onshore hosted LMS product with the HP Load Runner tool. For the integrated synchronous communications tool, HPLoad Runner protocols limited the testing available. To overcome this limitation, KJ Ross partnered with Micro Focus to conduct a POC for the integrated synchronous commutations tool product. Ultimately Micro Focus Silk Performer and HP Quick Test Professional were used successfully to test the integrated synchronous communications tool.
For the key outcomes, please download the PDF version of the case study here.

On TechDirt, Canadian Leigh Beadon helps Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with a roundup of all the weird patents the USPTO has granted for preparing turkey. Be thankful that deboning poultry is patentable (and has been repeatedly patented), otherwise, what would incentivize butchers and chefs to innovate?
Luckily, there are plenty of open alternatives for the patent-savvy chef. Who needs those fancy new turkey cutlets when you can use this classic "method of preparing turkey ... in the form of a flat elongated slice or slices of raw fowl free from bones, tendons, membranes and skin." Mmmmmm. This patent was granted back in the 60s, so it's long since expired.
Or you could try this "method of preparing barbecued poultry such as turkey which closely simulates barbecued pork", patented in the early 70s and now free for all to follow in handy flow-chart form...
So Long And Thanks For All The Turkey Patents Discuss

Homecooking is LITERALLY like stealing food from a restaurant.
Those pirate home-cookers are putting people out of jobs in the restaurant industry. I suggest 5-10 years jail time for anyone caught cooking at home, and that all stores selling food for home-cooking customers should be shut down immediately with no due process!
And if that doesn't work, as a final solution, I suggest a 6-strike plan to "educate" people that home-cooking is wrong and everyone should be buying from restaurants. Otherwise who knows what kind of immoral society we'll turn into!
And by the way, these are 100% my original ideas, and I wasn't inspired by anything when creating them. Hmm..I should probably patent them.

I like turkey but a recipe to make it simulate BBQ Pork would cause me to love turkey. Think I'll try this next TG.
Roger Wagner says:
Imagine if they decided to extend the lifespan of patents to "70 years after the death of the author" as has been done with copyrights. The purpose of both patents and copyrights is to grant a LIMITED time period of monopoly in EXCHANGE for giving it back to the public in a reasonable amount of time. My own opinion is that copyrights have broken the social contract, and are no longer valid. As bad as patents are, at least they expire.
Daniel Ewing says:
someone patented a new cut of beef recently.
Or is attempting to anyway.
Timothy Helmuth says:
The planet money episode about patenting that new cut of beef Daniel Ewing mentioned is pretty excellent http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/08/31/160391850/episode-399-can-you-patent-a-steak

March 1, 2013
Friday's NBA card is loaded with 12 games to wager on, including a solid pair of nationally televised contests on ESPN. The Heat goes for their 13th consecutive victory as the Grizzlies come to town, while the Thunder and Nuggets lock horns for the third time this season. The night begins in the Nation's Capital with the coldest ATS team trying to pick up a cover in a revenge spot.
Knicks at Wizards - 7:05 PM EST
New York owns an 0-7-1 ATS record the last eight contests, while losing three of its past four games away from Madison Square Garden. The Knicks are fresh off consecutive home victories over the Sixers and Warriors, but the two wins came by a combined 10 points. Mike Woodson's team is both in a revenge situation and look-ahead spot, as the Knicks return home to host the Heat on Sunday afternoon.
This ATS skid began on February 6 with a 106-96 defeat at the Verizon Center as 4 ½-point favorites against the Wizards. Washington torched New York's defense by shooting 53% from the floor and putting up 36 points in the final quarter. Six Wizards scored in double-figures, including Trevor Ariza burning his former squad for 20 points on 5-of-7 shooting from three-point range. The victory snapped a nine-game skid to the Knicks dating back to 2010, while ending a five-game home losing streak in the series.
Since John Wall returned to the lineup on January 12, the Wizards own a sterling 17-6 ATS record, including a 14-3 ATS mark in the underdog role. In fact, Washington has cashed eight straight times when receiving points at the Verizon Center, including outright wins over New York, Oklahoma City, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Houston, and the L.A. Clippers. The Wizards are coming off a one-point home loss to the Pistons, who pulled off a season-sweep of Washington.
Warriors at Celtics - 7:35 PM EST
Boston returns home following a 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS road swing, which was capped off by an overtime triumph at Utah on Monday. The Celtics actually hit the highway after Friday's game with Golden State, as the Warriors search for a win following back-to-back losses to the Pacers and Knicks. Stephen Curry tallied an NBA-high 54 points in Wednesday's 109-105 setback at New York, but the Warriors did cash as 7 ½-point underdogs.
Golden State played that game without power forward David Lee, who was suspended one game by the league for his role in Tuesday's brawl at Indiana. The Warriors have fallen off since a 6-1 road swing in mid-December, as Mark Jackson's club has won just one of the last 10 times in the away underdog role (2-8 ATS). In the last 12 road games overall, the Warriors have been golden to 'over' backers by cashing 10 times, while giving up at least 100 points on 10 occasions.
Since Rajon Rondo's season-ending knee injury on January 25, the Celtics have figured out a way to win consistently at home without their All-Star point guard. Boston has grabbed seven consecutive victories at TD Garden, including wins over the Clippers, Heat, Lakers, Nuggets, and Bulls. The C's are playing with revenge after getting drubbed in Oakland on December 29 in a 101-83 road loss. Boston has beaten Golden State in eight of the last nine home meetings, but the Warriors have cashed in the last three visits to TD Garden (all as underdogs of 9 ½ points or more).
Grizzlies at Heat - 8:05 PM EST
Miami just keeps on rolling after picking up its 12th consecutive victory after knocking off Sacramento in two overtimes on Tuesday, 141-129. The Heat failed to cover as 15-point favorites, the second straight non-cover as double-digit 'chalk.' The Grizzlies invade South Florida on an eight-game winning streak following a historic rally on Wednesday night.
Memphis trailed Dallas by 25 points in the second quarter, but put together an incredible comeback to stun the Mavericks, 90-84. The defense stepped up in the third quarter by limiting Dallas to just five points, while Memphis found a way to win in spite of shooting 37% from the field. Following a six-game 'over' streak, the Grizzlies are back to business by cashing the 'under' in four straight contests, while holding four straight opponents to 84 points or less.
The Heat has revenge on their minds after getting torched at Memphis in mid-November, 104-86. Dwyane Wade shot just 3-of-15 from the floor for eight points, but the two Grizzlies that lit up the Heat defense that night are now gone as Rudy Gay and Wayne Ellington combined for 46 points. Miami's offense has eclipsed the 100-point mark in eight of the last nine home contests, resulting in eight 'overs.'
Thunder at Nuggets - 10:35 PM EST
Miami and Denver are the hottest home teams in the league, as the Nuggets enter tonight's action owning a 24-3 SU and 18-9 ATS record at the Pepsi Center. Denver is in the midst of a nine-game winning streak at home, as this hot stretch began with an overtime triumph over Oklahoma City on January 20. The Nuggets are currently 20-4 to the 'over' the last 24 contests, including a 12-2 mark at home.
The Thunder cruised to a 119-74 rout against the short-handed Hornets on Wednesday to easily cash as 14 ½-point favorites. OKC completed a three-game sweep of its homestand, with each victory coming by at least 16 points. The Thunder has stumbled recently on the highway by losing five of their last seven games, including defeats at Cleveland, Utah, and Houston in which the defense allowed at least 109 points.
The last time the Nuggets and Thunder hooked up at the Pepsi Center, Denver held off OKC in overtime, 121-118 as seven Nuggets scored in double-figures. Oklahoma City benefited from 40 free throws made on 48 attempts, while the dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 63 points.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — After attempting to break her juvenile boyfriend out of a detention center, who allegedly burglarized OU football coach Bob Stoops' home, a Tuttle woman spent her 20th birthday in jail.
Paige Nicole Murray, 20, bonded out of jail on a $15,000 bond Monday. She was charged with a felony in Cleveland County District Court last week for assisting a prisoner to escape in concert with four other juveniles.
Murray was arrested and taken into custody July 2 when she and the four juveniles attempted the break-in at the A.J. Couch Center.
In an interview with police, Murray said her boyfriend asked her to help him break out of the facility. The boyfriend told her and the four other juveniles to cut the fence at the detention side of the facility around 8 p.m. so he could escape, according to the affidavit filed with the charge.
"Paige stated that she became excited about the plan and agreed," the affidavit said.
She and the four juveniles then grabbed a pair of hedge trimmers to cut the fence, drove to the A.J. Couch Center and parked near the back. Murray gave bandannas to the three male juveniles in an attempt to conceal their identities by wearing them over their faces, the affidavit said.
Murray then dropped the three males off and left with the other female juvenile to "get gas," according to the affidavit. When they returned,Norman police patrol cars were in front of the facility.
A detention center employee told law enforcement she saw a subject peeking his or her head around the corner of the building while she was taking out water. The individual then climbed back over the fence and ran away. She also found a pair of hedge cutters near the building where she had seen the subject, the affidavit said.

While the Chargers won't be leaving town next season, what they do beyond that is completely up in the air. Amid speculation that the team could be headed for a move to Los Angeles, the Bolts recently said that they will not opt of their contract with Qualcomm Stadium in 2011, but the organization refused to make any commitment past that year. The Bolts have been attempting to get a new stadium built in downtown San Diego for years, but they have not been able to build sufficient support behind the project, which could require upward of $450 million worth of public funding. The way we hear it, what could make or break the team's future in San Diego is the placement of a measure regarding public funding on the ballot in the November 2012 elections. If this measure does not make it onto the ballot, the chances of the Chargers finding a new home in a different city would increase considerably.

A Path to Confusion
It splits the public according to a new poll which also shows it enjoying wide support.
Writing about the GOP's immigration death wish yesterday, I stumbled on a couple of polling data points that illustrate how fraught and confusing the issue remains.
Bloomberg released a poll earlier this week, conducted by Selzer & Co., focusing on immigration reform. First it asked whether the respondents "support or oppose a revision of immigration policies that would provide a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.?" The answers reflected sharp division in the country in the form of a statistical tie: 46 percent support and 45 percent oppose (the margin of error was +/- 3.1 percent). It's notable that that result is at variance with most other results of similar questions in other polls.
But more importantly, the finding in that Bloomberg poll is at variance with … the very next set of questions in the same Bloomberg poll.
[See a collection of political cartoons on immigration.]
To wit, respondents were next asked about specific elements of the immigration reform wending its way through the Senate. How many support "allowing immigrants living in the country illegally to become citizens, provided they don't have criminal records, they pay fines and back taxes, and they wait for more than 10 years?" A whopping 74 percent support that idea while only 21 percent oppose it. Of course that idea is the same one that sharply divided respondents when it was referred to by its shorthand descriptive: "a path to citizenship."
What gives? Part of the answer, says J. Ann Selzer, whose firm conducted the poll for Bloomberg, is that Americans "want to be sure that the right people are staying and the wrong people are not and that we don't want to let any more of those wrong people in." The caveats about not being criminals matter. And part of it is the definition of "path to citizenship." She says: "Do we make the assumption that people have the same common meaning of path to citizenship? I would say it's not a majority that has the same definitions of that."
[See a collection of political cartoons on Congress.]
What does this tell us about the public and immigration? That pro-reform forces are slightly losing the messaging war over the "path" as an abstract concept. The trick for them will be to either come up with a different descriptive for the idea or to find a more effective way of making sure people understand the details behind the concept.
"There are mine fields of hot button issues here," Selzer says. Indeed.

U.S. Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, confronted a Park Ranger at the closed World War II Memorial Wednesday.
Conflict over the responsibility for the government shutdown got personal at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Wednesday when a member of Congress confronted a U.S. Park Service Ranger over access to the closed park land.
The congressman was Randy Neugebauer, a Republican representing Texas. He confronted the ranger in the middle of a crowd of tourists as she was keeping most of the public out of the closed World War II memorial.
The Park Service has been allowing World War II vets who have traveled from all over the country to enter the memorial, even though it's closed during the government shutdown; the rangers say they are exercising their First Amendment rights as they let the veterans in.
But they are keeping the rest of the public out of the facility, which is officially closed. And that did not sit well with the congressman, reported News4's Mark Segraves, who witnessed the confrontation.
"How do you look at them and... deny them access?" said Neugebauer. He, with most House Republicans, had voted early Sunday morning to pass a funding measure that would delay the Affordable Care Act, a vote that set up a showdown with the Senate and President Barack Obama. With the parties unable to agree on how to fund the federal government, non-essential government functions shut down Tuesday.
"It's difficult," responded the Park Service employee.
"Well, it should be difficult," replied the congressman, who was carrying a small American flag in his breast pocket.
"It is difficult," responded the Park Service employee. "I'm sorry, sir."
"The Park Service should be ashamed of themselves," the congressman said.
"I'm not ashamed," replied the ranger.
At that point, a crowd of onlookers got involved. "Ask those questions of the people who aren't passing the budget," shouted a voice from the crowd. "That's who you need to ask these questions to."
"This woman is doing her job, just like me," shouted another. "I'm a 30-year federal veteran -- I'm out of work."
The man, wearing a bicycle helmet, at this point was face to face with the congressman.
"Well, the reason you are is because Mr. Reid decided to shut down the government," responded Neugebauer, referring to the top Senate Democrat.
"No, it's because the government won't do its job and pass a budget," the bicyclist responded.
"The House did its job; it passed appropriations. The Senate hasn't," said another voice from the crowd.
Neugebauer walked away at that point.
The veterans were in D.C. thanks to the Honor Flight Network, which provides flights to D.C. for veterans so they can visit the memorials. Thousands of vets are still on their way to D.C. this weekend as part of the program.

Apple asking appeals court to freeze monitorFebruary 3, 2014: 2:22 PM ET
Next round in grudge match over price-fixing decision
FORTUNE -- On Tuesday morning the federal appeals court in New York will hear arguments on whether to halt a court-appointed monitor from overseeing Apple until the company's full appeal can be heard from a judge's ruling last July, finding that its 2010 launch of its iBook store violated the antitrust laws.
Apple (AAPL) argues that the monitorship -- being carried out by Michael Bromwich, a former inspector general of the Justice Department -- is imposing on it attorneys fees and expenses from business disruption that the company will never be able to recover even if it eventually wins its appeal. The government responds that Apple's success on appeal is unlikely and that these unrecoverable costs are, in any case, routine for a party to bear.
The issue has become a weird and fascinating grudge match between Apple and the judge who presided over its price-fixing trial last June, U.S. District Judge Denise Cote of Manhattan, who wrote a 64-page ruling last month defending her refusal to stay Bromwich's appointment.
MORE: Apple's $13.1 billion quarter was the 4th highest of all time
But underneath the rancor, posturing, and one-upmanship that has characterized the dispute so far lurks a surprisingly novel legal issue that everyone involved -- Apple, the government, Judge Cote, and monitor Bromwich -- all seem to have initially overlooked. That issue concerns exactly what powers a court-appointed monitor can exercise when the appointment has been contested by the party subject to it -- a surprisingly rare question, since most monitors are appointed pursuant to consent decrees. (With consent decrees, the defendant company voluntarily agrees to let the monitor oversee it -- usually to avoid far more draconian penalties it would otherwise face -- so the monitor's powers in those cases aren't in issue.)
Last July, after a month long trial, Judge Cote found that Apple had engaged in a price-fixing conspiracy, in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, when it entered the market for e-books with the launch of its first iPad. To get cooperation from five major publishers, she found, Apple had facilitated a preexisting conspiracy among the five publishers to raise the standard price of e-books from $9.99 -- where Amazon (AMZN) had been selling them -- to $12.99 and $14.99. (For more detailed accounts of the issues at trial, see here and here.)
While state attorneys generals are seeking $840 million in antitrust damages from Apple, the U.S. Department of Justice was empowered to seek only an injunction -- i.e., an order demanding changes in the way the company does business. Because Apple faced only claims for injunctive relief by the government, it had no right to a jury trial, and its case was presided over solely by Judge Cote, acting as both judge and fact-finder.
MORE: If you wonder why Apple shares go down when sales go up ...
In August, after winning a verdict from Judge Cote, the Justice Department asked for an injunction that would include, among other things, a court-appointed antitrust compliance monitor, who the department wanted to stay in place for 10 years.
Apple protested that the imposition of any monitor would be unnecessary and punitive. It argued that monitors were typically imposed in cases in which a defendant had a long and egregious history of violating the law and circumventing law-enforcement authorities, which was not the case here. Even under Judge Cote's view of the facts and the law -- which Apple would be appealing -- Apple had only opportunistically joined a conspiracy that lasted just six weeks, and it had done so in the process of bringing competition to a market (e-books) that had, prior to its entry, been dominated by a monopolist (Amazon) with an 80-90% market share.
Apple also argued that no monitor was needed because the conduct that triggered the government's suit had ended years earlier and could not possibly be resuscitated, thanks in part to consent decrees that the government had already entered into with each of the five publishers (none of which included monitorships).
In September, Judge Cote issued an injunction that did call for a monitor, though she gave him narrower powers than what the government originally sought, and a term of only two years. The monitor's limited purpose, she determined, would be to assess the adequacy of new antitrust compliance and training regimens that Apple was being ordered to come up with under other provisions of the injunction. The monitor was to evaluate them as they stood 90 days after his appointment.
MORE: Fraud, bid-rigging, jail terms and the Apple e-book conspiracy
Judge Cote felt a monitor was necessary, she explained at a hearing last August, because the trial evinced "blatant and aggressive disregard at Apple for the requirements of the law," and those engaging in the illegal conduct had "included Apple lawyers and its highest-level executives."
She also appointed a monitor, she said, because Apple failed to show any "contrition" for its alleged antitrust violations. As she wrote in her order denying a stay last month: "Apple made little showing … that it had taken to heart the seriousness of the price fixing conspiracy it had orchestrated ... The Court explained [in August] 'that it would have appreciated a presentation by Apple that a monitor is unnecessary, but it made no such showing. There is no admission of wrongdoing. There is no contrition.'"
In October, Apple appealed Judge Cote's verdict and injunction. But it did not initially seek any stay of the injunction, including its provisions creating the monitorship. The government claims, and Judge Cote has held, that Apple thereby waived at least some of the issues it is now raising in its petition for a stay. Apple has responded that it saw no need to stay the monitorship initially, since Judge Cote had indicated at the hearings in August that she was crafting the injunction "to rest as lightly as possible on the way Apple runs its business."
MORE: Four ways of looking at Apple's 2013 iPhone sales
Apple's hopes that that would be the case were dashed within days after Judge Cote appointed Bromwich as Apple's monitor on Oct. 16. We now know that neither Bromwich nor Judge Cote saw his mission as narrowly as Apple did. His role, as Judge Cote has since made clear, was not merely to ensure that Apple's compliance programs were adequate "in the abstract," but that they were adequate "for Apple." This distinction was important in Judge Cote's mind because of her underlying belief, based on her trial findings, that Apple's culture was peculiarly indifferent to, if not contemptuous of, the antitrust laws. Thus, the goal, in her mind, was to reform Apple's culture, not merely to draw up new guidelines.
Bromwich knew from his private interviews with Judge Cote for the job what she envisioned. To perform his obligations as he understood them, he needed to "crawl into [the] company" and explore its "tone" and "culture," as he later informed stunned Apple representatives.
Accordingly, when Bromwich met with Apple for the first time on Oct. 22, he explained that he wanted eventually to meet with every member of Apple's executive team and board, some of them multiple times. He wanted to start in mid-November with 15 top officials, including CEO Tim Cook, senior vice president for worldwide marketing Phillip Schiller, legendary product designer Jony Ive, and board member and former U.S. vice president Al Gore, Jr.
MORE: Apple sales were up 29% in China, down 1% in the Americas
The requests flabbergasted Apple, which had assumed that Bromwich would have precious little to do until mid-January, when the 90-day period elapsed for Apple to devise the new compliance and training programs he was to evaluate. They also thought the monitor would never have any reason to interview most of the officers he was naming, who had nothing to do with antitrust compliance.
They viewed the meetings as "incredibly disruptive," as their attorneys eventually told Bromwich, and they also balked at the costs. Bromwich was charging $1,100 per hour for himself and $1,025 for an antitrust partner on his team from a different firm (because of Bromwich's own lack of antitrust expertise), and a 15% "administrative fee" on top of each fees to compensate his consulting firm, The Bromwich Group. His first bill, for two weeks work, came to $138,000. (The government says that Bromwich later expressed willingness to negotiate his fees or to have them mediated, but that Apple hasn't responded to these overtures.)
Though Bromwich had handled four monitorships over the previous 11 years, all of those appear to have been consensual, and he had never encountered this sort of push-back. He wrote to Apple's lead lawyer in his interactions with the company, Ted Boutrous of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, that Apple's behavior showed that its officials "do not take its obligations and my responsibilities under the Final Judgement very seriously." In November Bromwich wrote directly to all of Apple's directors complaining, "I have experienced a surprising and disappointing lack of cooperation from Apple and its executives that is rare in my oversight experience."
As relations deteriorated, and Apple's lawyers prepared formal legal objections to Bromwich's interpretation of his role, they appear to have focused for the first time on the murkiness surrounding Bromwich's precise legal status, as a nonconsensual monitor. What were the limits of his powers, and where did they come from?

They concluded that a monitor was a breed of "special master," whose post-trial powers were, under the Rule 53 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, limited to handling "matters that cannot be effectively handled by an available district judge or magistrate judge of the district." Based on case law precedents, Apple lawyers further argue that the monitor may only "aid judges in the performance of specific judicial duties."
If Apple's interpretation was correct -- that Bromwich could only do things that the judge herself could have done, but didn't happen to have time to do -- then monitor Bromwich had already wandered pretty far off the reservation. No one could imagine Judge Cote herself running around demanding personal interviews with Apple's CEO and board of directors. Similarly, no one could imagine her casually discussing Apple's compliance with Apple's adversaries, the government attorneys, without Apple's attorneys being present, as Bromwich had also been doing under the terms of the injunction.
Such conduct by Judge Cote herself would have been particularly unthinkable because Judge Cote isn't just the judge in the government's case against Apple, where the trial has been completed; she is now gearing up to preside over the damages portion of the state attorneys general's jury trial against Apple, which will take place later this year.
No longer seeing the monitorship as simply an abuse of Judge Cote's discretion, but also as an illegal abuse of power, in mid-December Apple asked Judge Cote to halt all of Bromwich's activities pending appeal. Apple's attorneys at Gibson Dunn now argued that the monitorship was "flatly unconstitutional," "far exceeds what is permitted under Rule 53," and "violates the constitutional separation of powers."
The last theory -- the separation of powers argument -- stemmed from Apple's contention that Cote had delegated to Bromwich "investigative, quasi-inquisitorial, quasi-prosecutorial" powers that neither a judge nor its appointees are empowered to exercise. Under the terms of the injunction, for instance, Bromwich is empowered to ask Apple for "any" document and speak to "any" official, and if he comes across any evidence of what he regards as a violation of law by Apple, he is supposed to promptly turn it over to the government's attorneys.
In response to Apple's latest array of complaints, Justice Department attorneys Mark Ryan and Lawrence Buterman responded that there was nothing prosecutorial about the monitor's duties -- either as outlined in the injunction or as implemented by Bromwich -- and that the remainder of his functions were well within the judge's "inherent" powers in light of her well-founded findings of blatant and aggressive antitrust violations.
Then, in support of its opposition papers, it submitted an affidavit from Bromwich himself, allowing the monitor, for the first time, to give his version of his interactions with Apple. From the government's perspective, it was simply a matter of setting the record straight.
But as unremarkable -- even reflexive -- as filing Bromwich's affidavit must have seemed to the government, to Apple it was the last straw. Bromwich had just taken sides with the government in opposing Apple's stay motion, divesting Bromwich of any further pretense of objectivity or neutrality. It moved for his immediate disqualification.
Judge Cote gave the disqualification motion the back of her hand: "It would be surprising," she wrote, "if a party subject to a monitor could escape the monitorship by launching a cascade of attacks on the monitor and then disqualify the monitor for responding."
This is the tangled mess that a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will confront on Tuesday morning.
Though the law and facts are difficult, the court will have a tempting option before it: kicking the can down the road. For all the Sturm und Drang, if the court simply grants the stay, it's extremely hard to pinpoint any perceptible adverse consequences that will come to either the government or American society. A stay would just temporarily prevent Bromwich from acting until a different panel of that court has had a chance to decide whether Apple was properly found liable of antitrust violations to begin with. If it wasn't, then the court will never have to wade into any of the other difficult questions posed by the monitorship.
On the other hand, if the court were to take that route, that decision, in itself, would be a very bad omen for the monitorship's long-term prospects. If the monitor isn't needed now, why would he be needed later? Whatever the monitorship's constitutional standing, it would seem like unnecessary overkill.
