It seems bizarre even to mention this less than two weeks after the vote, but President Obama just won an election that was all about the economy. That's what six in 10 voters on Nov. 6 told exit pollsters they were most concerned about. Not balancing the budget, reforming the social-safety net, or making the rich pay more in taxes—rather, improving an economy still laboring to find a growth groove more than three years after the Great Recession officially ended. "Our top priority has to be jobs and growth," Obama said in a press statement on the Friday after the election, and he's right.
Trouble is, it's easy to get distracted. The bulk of Obama's statement that day centered not on a new plan to boost growth right away, but on posturing toward a possible deficit-reduction deal with congressional Republicans. It's a backward-but-necessary focus, due entirely to a nasty bit of economic timing for which the president and Congress set themselves up during Obama's first term. A glut of reduced tax rates are scheduled to expire at year's end, a crude-instrument set of spending cuts is ready to kick in, and the federal government will soon exceed its ability to borrow. If policymakers allow any of these three outcomes to happen, they would deal a contractionary blow to the recovery; all together, the trio would almost assuredly shock the economy back into recession. Resolving this so-called fiscal cliff to minimize the immediate drag on growth would remove one of the biggest anchors that economists identify as weighing down the recovery.
But if Obama wants his second term to be remembered for a new wave of hearty growth—and not as an extension of the anemic "new normal" that marred his first term—he'll need to address several other forces that helped tug growth downward over the last several years.
Those forces are large and complex: a financial crisis in Europe, a slowdown in China, a bottoming-out domestic housing market, and high and volatile gasoline prices. All of those, to varying degrees, vexed the president in his first term. There is reason to believe that each one could dissipate over the next few years, serving as buoys for renewed growth; that federal policy decisions could influence heavily whether they do; and that smart reforms in how the government taxes, spends, and regulates could, in the absence of those anchors, finally help the economy expand at the pace necessary to put 12 million unemployed Americans back to work.
These are the crucial economic issues facing Obama as he enters his second term.
Fortunately for Obama's reelection bid, the financial crisis that has crippled the eurozone did not spiral into a full-fledged economic meltdown during the summer or fall. Unfortunately, Europe's outlook quietly darkened anyway. Recession has again gripped the Continent, and the International Monetary Fund forecasts an essentially flat year of growth there in 2013, with a 1 percent expansion in 2014. Budget-balancing maneuvers in Greece and Spain, both still in austerity free fall, have produced rising unemployment and increased public debt. Even Germany, the big engine of European growth in recent years, is showing signs of sputtering, University of Oregon economist Tim Duy noted this month.
Europe's woes have hampered American exports (no-growth economies buy a lot less stuff than booming ones), and investors are worried that the financial contagion might spread to American banks.
The U.S. government can't fix Europe's problems. But it could do more to help fix them than it is. Today, American officials are mostly advising eurozone leaders on how to manage the crisis. Instead, Washington could start by leveraging a resolution of the Greek debt crisis, ensuring that the country won't abandon the euro, which would trigger economic disaster in the region.
In a new research paper, Zsolt Darvas, an economist for the Brussels-based think tank Bruegel, contends that the best way to deal with Greek debt is for official lenders—governments, basically—to write it off or to stop charging interest on their loans for eight years. Doing so, Darvas writes, would bring Greece's debt-to-gross domestic product ratio under 100 percent (from about 190 percent now) by 2020, alleviating the crisis.
U.S. officials could start by pushing the International Monetary Fund, of which America is a critical dues-payer, to lead the interest-free charge. "The IMF has a huge responsibility for taking part in the solution," Darvas says in an interview. For European and American leaders hoping to avoid a worsening euro crisis, he adds, "the major risk in the short term is Greece. If they're able to find a solution for Greece in the coming weeks and isolate the problem," the risk would drop substantially.
Bolstering Europe would, in turn, help shore up the other big weak spot in the global economy: the slowdown in China. While Obama and Mitt Romney sparred in campaign debates over Chinese trade and currency manipulation, the far more consequential economic news from the Far East was that growth in China had decelerated faster than many analysts predicted. Further slowing in China would cut into U.S. exports, so the faster the Europeans can ramp up imports—from China and the United States—the better.
If Obama had lost reelection, it's no exaggeration to say that his housing policy could have been the No. 1 reason.
Recent economic research is clear on one thing: The housing-market crash didn't just help trigger the recession; it also waylaid the recovery. Plummeting home values pushed Americans to save more and spend less than they did in the years running up to the recession—sound practices over the long run, but poor prescriptions for a quick snap-back in the economy. Loss of home equity also robbed small-business owners, and prospective ones, of the ability to borrow against their houses to expand or start companies. Construction employment remains 2 million workers below its precrisis peak.
For three years, Obama's housing efforts did little to reverse that tide. Only in the last year did he switch course, pressing—often in vain—for more-aggressive actions to write down home loans and spur more refinancing at rock-bottom interest rates. Meanwhile, the market sank like a rock, then, sometime in fall 2011, finally hit what appears to have been the bottom.
Now, economists at the real-estate website Zillow have seen four consecutive quarters of rising prices. If you look at just nondistressed properties and exclude foreclosed homes sold at a steep discount, you'll see that housing values are down about 20 percent from theirpeak, which is up 4 percentage points from last year's trough. The rebound should cool just a touch next year, but prices will continue to rise, Zillow predicts. "We're seeing what we think is a durable recovery," says Stan Humphries, Zillow's chief economist. "What the second quarter of this year actually showed us is that the housing market has some strength of its own independent of the broader economy"—because even when growth stalled broadly, housing prices kept rising.
This is huge news for the economy overall, and it's possible that lawmakers and federal agencies could make it even better. Edward DeMarco, the acting head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has thwarted much of Obama's new, more aggressive housing agenda. If the president replaces him with a friendlier director, some economists say, the ensuing policies would boost the market and the economy overall fairly quickly.
Lawmakers could also slam the brakes on the housing resurgence if they push too hard, too fast, to reduce the government's outsized role in the market. A tax-reform bill that limits or kills the mortgage-interest deduction would ripple into prices if it isn't phased in. Likewise, Congress will need to strike a balance in transitioning the mortgage market away from its heavy reliance on public guarantees; at present, government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae back nine in 10 new mortgages. The government needs to reduce that level, but not so fast as to disrupt the recovery.
High and volatile oil prices are not a glitch—they're the future. China's demand will continue to rise over time; global-supply increases, even with a U.S. boom in unconventional extraction, won't keep pace. And neither the White House nor Congress can do much to stop that. Gasoline-price spikes tripped the recovery up a couple of times during Obama's first term. Ironically, the next few years might not bring as much volatility, industry analysts predict, because the slowdowns in Europe and China have depressed demand a bit.
Lawmakers aren't just trying to cast away economic anchors in the next four years. They also have the opportunity to fuel growth. Expansionary fiscal policy would be ideal in the short term, but it seems unlikely to get through Congress anytime soon, so the next-best scenario probably lies in a series of bipartisan agreements to improve and streamline the role of the federal government.
You wouldn't have known it from their debates and television ads, but Obama and Romney laid the groundwork for some meaningful, pro-growth, bipartisan compromises in the course of the campaign. Nearly all of the possibilities are rooted in changing the government—how it taxes, how it spends, and how it regulates—to improve economic efficiency.
For starters, both Romney and Obama promoted some version of corporate and individual tax reform. A wide swath of economists agree that the tax code has grown so complex as to be distortional, diverting investment from more productive sectors of the economy to less productive ones. Its myriad loopholes encourage businesses, instead of hiring workers or buying new software, to spend billions of dollars on what economists call "rent-seeking"—influence-peddling that seeks to bend the code (or federal regulation or spending) to favor some companies over others. "The body politic can't agree on much," says Matthew Mitchell, an economist at George Mason University who has written extensively on so-called crony capitalism. "But it seems like—at least, in principle—there ought to be bipartisan support for cutting spending that benefits the wealthy and well connected."
Mitchell suggests creating a commission, modeled on the process that Congress has used to determine which military bases to realign or close, to weed out and eliminate federal spending that benefits certain businesses at the expense of others. Economist Michael Mandel of the Progressive Policy Institute suggests a similar body to reduce the government's impact on business growth by identifying federal regulations to repeal or modify.
Even the deficit-reduction deal that Obama and Republicans are seeking could bear fruit for growth, economists at the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program say. (It's not a natural connection, especially since borrowing costs are low now and there's no evidence that debt is crowding out private investment.) In a research project, the Brookings economists contend that even when lawmakers slash spending, they can buoy growth by prioritizing spending on infrastructure, job training, and research and development. The authors of this project, too, would start with a BRAC-style commission to identify at least $200 billion in cuttable spending, half of which would reduce the deficit and half of which would go back into programs feeding job creation and growth.
Both casting off economic anchors and taking up growth-fueling reforms raise the likelihood that the American economy could finally hit a virtuous cycle of expansion in the next few years. Faster U.S. growth would help Europe escape recession by creating new demand for European exports. It would drive new household formation—young adults who finally get the jobs that allow them to move from their parents' basement—and further lift housing prices.
Growth is the chief ingredient in balancing the federal budget. It is the chief defense against a European meltdown, a harder-than-expected landing in China, and a scenario in which prolonged long-term unemployment could permanently raise America's natural unemployment rate. It should be, as the president says, the top priority.
Timothy Geithner: The last remaining member of the core economic team that guided Obama through the recessionary months of his first term, the Treasury secretary is widely expected to leave the administration.
Jacob Lew: Obama's chief of staff is a top contender to succeed Geithner. In the meantime, he'll lead negotiations with Republicans over how to resolve the fiscal cliff.
Alan Krueger: If he stays on as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, he could spearhead a legislative push dear to his academic heart (and Obama's campaign rhetoric): reducing America's income inequality.
Lael Brainard: Another possibility to take over Treasury, where she currently works as Geithner's point woman on what has perhaps been the president's thorniest combination of economics and diplomacy: the euro crisis.
Housing initiatives: Edward DeMarco, acting head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, stymied Obama's late-term efforts to help underwater homeowners. Look for Obama to put someone more sympathetic in that post.
Fiscal policy: The economy could still use more aggregate-demand juice to get millions of unemployed Americans back to work. But so far Obama has not pushed hard for new infrastructure spending.
Europe and China: Their economic slowdowns have crimped U.S. export growth. Neither seems set to roar back to previous levels. Best-case scenario for the U.S.: Their economies don't worsen.

About 30 residents of the Phillips Hill Road neighborhood in New City joined Clarkstown and Orangetown and state officials to criticize Orange & Rockland's response to the havoc wreaked by Hurricane Sandy. Clarkstown Supervisor Alex Gromack, Orangetown Supervisor Andy Stewart, State Senator David Carlucci, Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski and Clarkstown Highway Superintendent Wayne Ballard told the residents on Friday that O&R has not provided information about their crews or timetable for restoration of power.
"This is not their first emergency," said Gromack. "They have not learned from these unprecedented storms. They have not learned. They have not gotten better."
Gromack said unfortunately town officials are not getting any more information than residents.
"The elected officials have been on them every day," he said.
Stewart said his major concern was getting enough diesel to keep Orangetown's sewage treatment plant running. He said getting power returned to the plant was the biggest priority for Orangetown. An expected diesel fuel delivery of 1,000 gallons will keep the plant running normally through the weekend. Otherwise the plant would send nine million gallons of untreated sewage into the Hudson River.
The New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) agreed to the officials' request made Friday to send a PSC executive on Saturday to oversee Orange & Rockland. They also asked the Governor's office to appoint a permanent Public Utility Monitor for the duration of the storm recovery.
At the location where officials spoke, O&R workers have been stationed around the clock to make sure no one goes near the transformer and live wires lying in the middle of Phillips Hill Road. Resident Beth Hecht said it was frustrating for people in the neighborhood to see the workers standing around instead of clearing the area to restore power.
Gromack said O&R workers could be better utilized if they were partnered with some of the county's 500 town highway department employees to assess where there are live wires. Then the highway crews could begin clearing downed trees and branches and opening up roads.
Zebrowski said O&R management told them days ago that area wide restoration information would be available in two days and that did not happen. He said they could not tell officials how many crews were available in Rockland and where they were. Zebrowski said they asked for 10 O&R employees to be assigned to work with town highway workers to assess lines and that has not been fulfilled.
"It's just irresponsible and outrageous," said Zebrowski.
Carlucci emphasized as the power outage drags on more and more people were going without water, creating a dangerous situation.
"Safety is in jeopardy when people don't have answers," said Carlucci. "It's really a failure of planning and management of O&R."
Carlucci summed up the situation and said, "O&R is "MIA. They are put on notice for the crisis we are in."
Eight state troopers have been assigned to Clarkstown to direct traffic at intersections without working signals. Police have been reassigned to patrol areas without power and are deployed at gas stations to maintain calm.
600 National Guard members are supposed to be arriving on Friday evening to help out in Rockland and Westchester. They will be under the direction of O&R.

(St. Helier)
Boasting some of the most stunning scenery in the UK, the Island of Jersey is a destination that shouldn't be missed. With an intensely rich history, Jersey is home to the beautiful St. Brelades Bay, Saint Ouen's beach, Corbiere Lighthouse and the world famous Jersey Zoo. Jersey is an island measuring 118.2 square kilometres so is very small in size but has lots to offer. With mild winters and warm summers, it's a perfect destination on its own or to add on to any UK visit. Jersey's history is influenced by its strategic location between the northern coast of France and the southern coast of England; the island's recorded history extends over a thousand years.

South Bank is a beautiful riverside stretch in the heart of central London, following the Thames from Lambeth to Blackfriars bridges. In walking distance to Covent Garden and Westminster its the perfect location for a relaxing stroll Also accessible from Waterloo station. The packed programme of theatre, exhibitions, music, film and free events means South Bank is an inspiring place to explore for all ages. Along the South Bank, take in such sites, as, The London Eye: the world's tallest observation wheel. At 135 metres above the Thames it offers unrivalled views over the city. On a clear day from the world's largest Ferris wheel you can see 25 miles in every direction as far as Windsor to the west and, to the east nearly out to sea. Continue walking over the Milennium Bridge. Although it nowadays provides a smooth river crossing, the Millennium Bridge will be known to Londoners as simply the wobbly bridge. Designed by Norman Foster and Anthony Caro, its low-slung frame looks pretty spectacular, particularly when it's lit up at night with fibre-optics-the so-called 'blade of light' effect. South Bank was made for long lazy afternoons and evenings, there is something for all tastes. Absorb the atmosphere over an al fresco lunch or dinner, enjoy cocktails with a view and try the stylish hotel bars, family-friendly cafes and funky places to grab a quick bite or late night drink.
Spend the day outside of London on a shared guided tour taking in the magnificent Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath. Built high above the River Thames, Windsor Castle has been home to the Royal Family for 900 years and is still an Official Residence of the Queen. You will visit the magnificent State Apartments*, still used for State occasions and Royal receptions. Take some time to explore the castle grounds and the fourteenth-century St. George's Chapel, one of the most beautiful examples of medieval church architecture in England and a burial place of kings and queens, including Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour.
Clouded in mystery, the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is an amazing feat of engineering and the most important prehistoric site in England, but beyond its archaeological significance and possible astronomical role, Stonehenge is also a place of spiritual importance. Early legends link it with Merlin and King Arthur, but over the last hundred years, the midsummer sunrise has attracted pagan groups and followers of the Ancient Order of Druids.
You will also visit the beautiful Georgian City of Bath and take a panoramic tour of some of the finest architectural sights in Europe, including Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent, the Circus, Assembly Rooms and the famous Pulteney Bridge. Explore the Roman Baths, built around thermal springs, which have been supplying water for over 2,000 years. In Roman times, a great temple was built next to the sacred spring; the waters were believed to have healing properties and attracted visitors from across the Roman Empire.
There are some great restaurants in the West End of London.Here are a few suggestions: J Sheekey, an incredibly smart seafood restaurant, Mildred's, London's best veggie restaurant, Sketch, the trendiest place in London, specializing in some of the best French food you'll ever taste, or for those looking for something simple and cheerful, enjoy a nice meal out at Zipangu. Or try the amazingly stylish Corrigan's Mayfair.
The London Underground or 'the tube' as it is universally known to Londoners, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting round London. Greater London is served by 12 tube lines, along with the independent (though linked) and privately owned DLR and an interconnected rail network. The first tube train operates at around 5:30am Monday to Saturday and around 7am Sunday; the last train leaves between 11:30pm and 12:30am depending on the day, the station and the line. Remember that any train heading from left to right on the map is designated as eastbound, and any train heading from top to bottom is southbound- no matter how many squiggles and turns it makes. If your two stations are not on the same line, you need to note the nearest station where the two lines intersect, and it is here that you must change trains. Step out into this fantastic city and explore with your travel card - the best way to see London!
The Tube Stop is Hampstead.
Sprawling Hampstead Heath, with its rolling woodlands and meadows, feels like a million miles away- well approximately four- from the city of London. It covers 320 hectares, most of it woods, hills and meadows, and is home to about 100 bird species. It's a wonderful place for a nice walk, and you can follow in the footsteps of luminaries such as the poets Coleridge, Keats and Pop as well as painters Hogarth and Constable who all lived around here. Constable studied the clouds and skies above Hampstead Heath, painting more than 100 'skyscapes' that he would later match subjects in his most famous paintings.
If walking is too pedestrian for you, sections of the heath area are laid out for football and cricket. Walk up Parliament Hill or the hill in North Wood, an on a clear day you'll be able to see all the way to Canary Wharf and the Docklands. Those of an artistic bent should make a beeline to Kenwood House but stop to admire the sculptures by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth on the way. If you work up a thirst, there's no better place to quench it than at the atmospheric- and possibly haunted- Spaniard's Inn which has fascinating history and a terrific beer garden.
Spring is probably the best time to visit, Kew Gardens but at any time of year, this 120-hectare expanse of lawns, formal gardens and greenhouses has delights to offer, As well as being a public garden, Kew is an important research centre, and it maintains its reputation as the most exhaustive botanical collection in the world. Its wonderful plants and trees aside, Kew has several specific sites within its borders. You will come almost immediately to a large pond overlooked by the enormous Palm House, a hothouse of metal and curved sheets of glass, and housing all sorts of exotic tropical greenery. Just northwest of Palm House is the tiny but irresistible Water Lily House, dating from 1852. If you head northwards, you'll come to the stunning Princess of Wales Conservatory. Beyond that is the Kew Gardens Gallery bordering Kew Green, which houses exhibitions of paintings and photos. Heading westwards from the gallery you will arrive at the red-brick Kew Palace, a former royal residence once known as Dutch House. If you cut southwards from the palace across the lawns, you'll pass a long lake running roughly west to east. To the southwest is Queen Charlotte's Cottage, a wooden summerhouse used by George III and surrounded by bluebells in spring. Come out of the station and walk straight (west) along Station Rd, cross Kew Gardens Rd. and then continue straight along Lichfield Rd.
You will be picked up from your London hotel with a private vehicle and driver and taken to London Gatwick airport.

"Overall, our tour in Spain was very enjoyable, and well planned and executed. Our private tour of the Alhambra was excellent. Virginia, tour guide for royal palace ruins outside of Cordoba, was also excellent. In Seville, we went to the Flamenco Show/dinner, and the Flamenco was outstanding!"

"My husband and I took a 3 week vacation to southern Europe and North Africa and had a great time. All the guides were very knowledgeable and bent over backwards to accommodate us. The arrangements made by Kensington went off without a hitch. This is our second trip with Kensington (we went to Peru in 2009) and we will certainly book with them again."

"Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "

"We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

09/26/13 From bottle. At 10% this has an exaggerated burn in the taste. Unfortunately it is at the expense of anything nuanced in the brew. Sure there are roasted malts in the aroma, but when the rubber meets the road...all I'm getting is "The Burn". Could be a bottle beyond use by since it was a one-off in 2009, but at 10% I wouldn't think that should not be an issue.

Review from 12/2009 notes. Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a dark near black amber. Moderate head and light lacing. Hoppy aroma. Hops / IPA start with a light malt, black ale backbone. Hops, malt, fruit, alcohol middle and hoppy finish. Like a dark hoppy American barley wine. Not that well integrated. Interesting but not exceptional. Addendum: tried again in 2010, it did not improve with age. Still drinkable, but no mellowing or integration; hops astringent.

A - Pours a dark brown-black color with a finger of frothy khaki colored head. The head fades down at a normal pace leaving behind some nice lacing.
S - Aroma is a mix of roasted chocolate and dark malts with some earthy and citrus hops, some licorice, and a bit of coffee, dark fruits, and booze.
T - Starts off with some roasted chocolate malts with some orange and citrus hops with a bit of black licorice and coffee. Through the middle, some earthy hops and bitterness comes through with some dark fruit sweetness, nuttiness, and some dark caramel malts. The finish is a mix of roasted chocolate and coffee with some dark fruit and a bit of booze.
M - Medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth and slightly thick with a sweet and warming finish.
D - Very drinkable. Nice mix of dark roasted malt character and lager smoothness. Good overall balance and body.

More thanks to Bobby (alembician) for a beer I might never had a chance to try at all.
This beer is close to black, a very dark brown with ruby-brown hues in the light. A light brown head shows some a little growth and some stick, as it retains itself well and manages pretty good lacing.
This is a unique beer that I wouldn't think could be pegged as any kind of pils going into it. There is some grassiness to otherwise citric, grapefruity and herbal hops along with a lot of roast and some char. I suppose I could see this tagged as a Black Pilsener in the same way there's such a thing as a Cascadian Black, in that the hoppiness stops short of that particular style, it has the same kind of mixture and balance of hops and malts, and it's a bit earthier and grassier. The malty sweetness just adds an extra element. Alcohol is exceptionally well masked.
The body is medium, not the typical lightness of a pils but with the crispness, with a prickly carbonation. It foregoes smoothness for the crispness.

This is one of a number of collaborative beers I've recently had. All of them feature Stone as well as two other brewers. I think this is one of my favorites. Very drinkable, especially for the alcohol by volume.
Appearance is a dark black. Very dark carbonation, which was quite active and left some lacing behind.
Smell was of dark roast and dark fruits. Some hops comes through. In general, a very strong aroma.
Flavor was excellent. Very well balanced. All the elements were there and it was very drinkable given the abv.
Overall an excellent beer.

I provide an alternative take on sports, entertainment and pop culture
The Knicks waved goodbye to their coach on Wednesday afternoon, but as he leaves, Mike D"Antoni may be taking Jeremy Lin's future with him. Amid the team's recent losing steak, there were serious questions about whether D'Antoni had lost control of the team. But a bigger question remains for the Knicks: what happens to their budding star point guard now that he'll be forced to play for a new coach in a new system that doesn't emphasize his subtle strengths and may uncover his very real weaknesses.
In a little more than a month, Lin moved from being a bench-warmer to one of the most popular athletes on the planet. His popularity came about because he was playing great while the team was winning. Why was Lin playing great? In short: Because of D'Antoni's system, which was the glass slipper for this hard court Cinderella.
D'Antoni's offensive system is unique in the NBA. It encourages fast breaks and quick shot making, literally encouraging players to shoot in seven seconds or less. This high-octane basketball is perfectly suited to a point guard who can see the floor and make quick decisions. A point guard like Jeremy Lin.
In Phoenix, the synergy between D'Antoni's system and Steve Nash's skill set earned Nash back-to-back MVP awards. Lin seemed poised to become the East Coast answer to Nash. Now all that seems very much in doubt.
In a more conventional offense, the point guard is called upon to beat his man off the dribble in a one-on-one (or isolation) situation and penetrate to the basket for a pass or a shot. This requires foot speed and leaping ability, as well as mercurial ball handling. Nash was lacking in those departments, and Lin may be even more limited in those areas Lin may be a quick study, but you simply can't teach the foot speed of a Chris Paul or the rock-solid handle of a Deron Williams.
When D'Antoni left Phoenix to come to New York, Nash's productivity declined–his scoring average dropped by two points, and he had two fewer assists per 48 minutes–he and suffered similar drop-offs in other statistical categories. He went from being a superstar to just a star. Remember that Nash was a 34-year old veteran, who had previously functioned, if not flourished, in more conventional offense. Look for a much more serious decline from Lin, whose career as a starter isn't yet 20 games old.
What does the future hold for Lin? When asked to run a more conventional offense on other teams, his performance couldn't earn him a roster spot, much less a starting job. He's slow afoot by NBA standards and prone to turnovers and the team's new system will undoubtedly require Lin to handle the ball under pressure, while creating his own shots. It's not clear who the Knicks coach will be, but it's a virtual guarantee that he won't be running an offense like D'Antoni's.
D'Antoni's resignation is the outcome of a power struggle between star forward Carmelo Anthony and, well, everyone else. Anthony wants the ball in isolation situations, and D'Antoni's offense, as run by Lin, wasn't getting him the touches he wanted. Essentially, in accepting D'Antoni's resignation, the team's brain trust, notably owner James Dolan, has sided with Anthony at the expense of Lin and other young Knicks. It's a decision that could cost the team for years.
In fairness, it should be noted that D'Antoni's offense has its limitations, especially in playoff situations. In the post-season his teams underachieved when opponents could develop strategies to counter this hyperactive system over the course of a playoff series. But almost by accident, it did give the Knicks something they've been lacking for years–a true star in the person of Jeremy Lin. It remains to be seen whether he can shine as brightly–or at all–in a more conventional basketball setting.
Joseph, I agree with your post except for one part, I don't think he has ever failed. GS and Houston didn't give him a chance to play, that is not failing. I think it's crazy that he led a bunch of reserves to 7 wins in a row, and there is any talk of his role being reduced.
Go out and recruit five Melos for your fantasy NBA team. Since when is "conventional" basketball about one on one isolations, while court vision and quick decision-making a quirky skill set for a quirky offense? By that logic, Iverson was the quintessential conventional superstar, and he should have had oodles of championships.
Lin beat John Wall in the only game they played in Summer League.
"If Lin had the quickness and handle of a Chris Paul or even a John Wall, he would have been a top five draft pick and starting from his first game in the league."
– You should have figured out why not so from the traditional system?! And thanks for that, let us really enjoy the other beauty side of basketball from Lin.
He beat him again in the Feb 8th in the "traditional" NBA official game.

why should he be afraid, he has a Harvard degree as backup. Besides, other team will pick him up if New York wants to trade him.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Swensen Memorials is celebrating a monumental anniversary.
Founded by Norwegian immigrant Johannes Swensen, the company's doors opened in 1913.
"The memorials were all hand carved, the large ones delivered by horse and pulley," said manager Christine Torrey. "Now the designs and sandblasting are all done with the help of a computer."
Swensen originally established his home and business in Manistee, going on to open five locations including the one in Traverse City. Swensen's daughters, Marion and Grace, continued with their father's business until the mid-1980s when Marion's son and daughter-in-law, John and Leslye Wuerfel, took it over.
Torrey's parents, David and Nancy Sietsema, bought Swensen Memorials 15 years ago. They also own Superior Monument Co. in Muskegon and Grand Haven.
"Our family has been in the monument business for 52 years, so it seemed natural to take over another family business when my father suggested buying the Traverse City location," said Torrey, who works alongside her husband, Pete, at Swensen Memorials.
The couple had always wanted to work together. Being able to share their passion about caring for people going through a vulnerable time has been an added blessing, they said.
"I know what it meant to me when people reached out to me at a time of loss," Pete said. "They are so appreciative of being treated with kindness."
In addition to granite gravestones, Swensen Memorials has expanded to include more memorial markers and signs.
"With more people choosing cremation, a special place to remember your loved one can be anywhere," Christine said. "We work with families to make something that is special and unique for that person."
Swensen Memorials is located at 806 Hastings St. in Traverse City. For more information, call 943-8777.

I do not use oven much maybe 1 time a week. Only after 2 1/2 years the oven will not heat. I would not recommend this product Sears does not stand by this product. I should not have to pay hundreds to get this repaired especially after so LITTLE use.

The convection portion of the oven is new to me. It is awesome it cuts cooking time down. This oven has two internal racks with four shelves in comparison to my previous electric range that had two racks and only three shelves. I am now able to put two pizzas in the oven on different sides and different shelves. They cooked wonderfully with the usage of the convection feature. The stove top cleans well.

I like the five burners and the way that it heats faster than my old range

Bought this when having to replace an old range. I love how evenly it cooks, easy it is to operate, and simple it is to keep clean. The oven space is great for the size of the unit and it cools quickly after useso your entire kitche doesn't stay hot.

I have used gas stove all my life but when we moved into a condo, we had to have electric stoves. i really like the convection oven, it really heats evenly and fast. The stove top at first seemed slippery, but I have gotten used to that. It heats up fast. The top is easy to clean.
Westwood, CA
via sears.com
Easy to use, easy to keep clean...The oven is the main selling point it works great and having a convection system helps in cooking. It is a great oven for the price.

Gisele Bundchen?
Why She's No.12
Some will argue that the era of the supermodel is dead, especially those who rocked the '90s with just their first names: Kate, Claudia, Naomi, Cindy, and Christy. Gisele Bundchen -- the highest-paid model in the world who earned approximately $25 million last year -- might beg to differ. The Brazilian who's just as famous for having the nicest set of legs in the business as she is for being able to more than adequately fill out a bikini top (a rarity among high fashion models) finds herself on the covers of almost as many men's magazines as she does women's. Throw in the fact that she married the iconic American man, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, this year and just gave birth to couple's first child (bouncing baby boy Benjamin), and you have a bona fide media darling. Mrs. Brady? Oh no; you can just call her Gisele.

Is this list organic, artisanal, free-range, small-plate, modernist, hand-crafted, small-batch, and 100% sustainable? Not quite. But it should be!
1 Juicy crab and pork bun. If you've spent much time eating in the San Gabriel Valley , you have probably become adept in the various rituals of the Chinese table. This food is meant to be wrapped in a pancake, that one to be seethed in broth, the other one to be extracted with a dental implement. But nothing quite prepares you for the signature buns -- tender-skinned water balloons stuffed with pork and crab -- at the Wuxi-style dumpling house Wang Xing Ji. If you try to lift it with a spoon, it disintegrates under its own weight; if you attack it with chopsticks, you are liable to be squirted with boiling juice. Finally you remember the plastic implement served with the dumpling, and you intuit its proper use. You will feel silly sipping hot crab juice through a straw, but your shirt and your dignity will be saved. 140 W. Valley Blvd., No. 211, San Gabriel, (626) 307-1188.

By Tom Precious
ALBANY -- Tobacco companies spent more than $7 million during just the first six months of 2013, as much as they did during all of 2011 and 2012 combined, the New York Public Interest Research Group reported Wednesday.
Much of the money was spent lobbying local governments, including Buffalo.
Interestingly, one lobbying firm, Nixon Peabody, represented during the same period in 2011 and 2012 both Altria, makers of Marlboro and other brands, and Roswell Park Cancer Institute, whose scientists for years have been producing major reports on cigarette smoking and cancer.
In all, 27 separate lobbying firms represented the tobacco industry in the past couple years, NYPIRG reported. Altria, at $4 million, was chief among the big spenders, not including $300,000 in campaign donations, the group said.
While Senate Republicans received the most in tobacco industry donations, NYPIRG noted that the New York Democratic Party, controlled by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, ended its promise, enacted in 2000, to stop taking cigarette industry money.

Aside from the Superbowl perhaps, there's only one other thing that hardcore NFL videogame fans eagerly await year in and year out. That thing is Madden NFL.
This year marks the 20th coming of the beloved virtual pigskin franchise, and suffice to say, nothing but excellence oozes out of it. Years of refinement and a brand new level of visual polish make this the Madden to end all Maddens— until next year that is.

Two Washington County men charged in the robbery of a BP in Wexford were arraigned by live streaming over the Internet Thursday morning and bail was set at $50,000 each.
Matthew McDonald, 19, and Charles Edward Clark, 21, appeared separately via webcam from the Washington County Jail before Magisterial District Judge William K. Wagner, whose courtroom is in McCandless.
Wagner asked both men if they had received a written criminal complaint stating the charges against them, to which they answered yes.
McDonald is charged with felony counts of robbery and criminal conspiracy and a misdemeanor charge of theft in the Nov. 13 robbery of the BP gas station and convenience store in T-Bones plaza along Route 910 near the Interstate 79 ramps in Marshall Township.
Clark is charged with a felony count of criminal conspiracy.
Both also face multiple charges in Washington County. Click here for a story detailing those charges.
Wagner told the men their preliminary hearings are scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 12 and that they should contact the public defender's office to ensure they have legal counsel.
Clark was arraigned first and had to wait about 20 minutes because the judge was busy. When court clerks came in to give him updates, he answered with "Yes, ma'am" and "Thank you."
He addressed the judge as "sir" in the few times he spoke.
McDonald also was polite in addressing the judge as "sir" and "your honor".
Wagner explained that live streaming for an arraignment is not needed if the person charged is located in Allegheny County. He or she simply comes to the courtroom or is transported there from the Allegheny County Jail.
"In Allegheny County you don't need it," Wagner said. "For Washington County, this is ideal."
Without live streaming, law enforcement personnel would have transported the men to the courtroom by way of the Allegheny County Jail and then back to the Washington County Jail for the arraignment that took less than five minutes.
Both men will be transported to Wagner's courtroom for their preliminary hearings.
Wagner's court, 05-2-12, hears cases from Marshall, Pine, McCandless and Bradford Woods.

About IDOT in Motion
The implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is off to a fantastic start in Illinois! Thousands of new jobs have been created thanks to the efforts of Illinois construction contractors and engineering consultants! The primary objective of ARRA is to put America back to work and that is happening all across the state of Illinois due to your hard work.
Another important objective of ARRA is accountability. In order to accomplish this objective, Section 1512 of ARRA requires that prime recipients submit quarterly progress reports for all projects utilizing ARRA funds beginning in October of 2009. As a prime recipient of ARRA funds, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) successfully submitted the first quarterly report on October 10, 2009. Subsequent reports are required to be submitted on a quarterly basis until 2012. The report must include all work completed through the end of the reporting quarter.
In order to submit the necessary ARRA 1512 reports in a timely manner, we will need all ARRA Vendors to submit jobs creation/retention data within the following timeframes:
