Kevin Durant scored 28 points -- 17 during a stunning, long-range shooting display in the third quarter -- and the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team blasted into the medal round with a 126-97 win over Argentina on Monday night.
It was a game that included taunting, finger-pointing and technical fouls. The Americans (5-0) led by only one point at halftime before outscoring Argentina 42-17 in the third to take control. Durant made five 3s in the period, one from 28 feet. The period ended with U.S. forward Carmelo Anthony making a 3 and getting knocked down by Argentina's Facundo Campazzo, enraging the U.S. bench.
LeBron James scored 18 points but spent most of the second half on the bench with four fouls. The U.S. will play Australia in Wednesday's quarterfinals. Manu Ginobili scored 16 for Argentina (3-2), which will play Brazil in the first game of single-elimination play.

A CLOSED community centre could be reopened, with Glyndwr University being confirmed as its potential saviour.
At a meeting of Caia Park Community Council, chairman Marc Jones revealed the university had shown definite interest in taking over the Kingsley Circle Community Centre.
The centre closed at the beginning of April as part of Wrexham Council cost-cutting measures, and ever since hopes have been high that a rescue package could be put together to save it.
The local authority asked community councils to take over the running of community centres as part of an attempt to find £45 million worth of savings over the next five years.
Cllr Jones said: "I've been contacted by Glyndwr University and they have a business plan for the Kingsley Circle Community Centre.
"They have quite an ambitious proposal to reopen it for the community, and use it as a Glyndwr base, a training centre for their youth development work.
"They seem to want to work with other groups, so if they can bring the centre back into use for everyone, it could be a bonus."
Cllr Jones told fellow councillors no financial support was being sought from the council, and that Glyndwr would be putting its own funding in place.
He added: "What do they want from us? No cash, but support and backing. They will fund it. They have definite plans, and it would be good to support them. I propose we should back any business plan.
"It's a case of watch this space."
Councillors were unanimous in their support, with Cllr Keith Gregory adding: "It would be a good use of the building, and it would be good for the people of Caia if it keeps them involved."
Dorothy Mitchell, chairman of the centre's management committee, had previously said the closure had been a severe blow for the area.
She expressed her delight at the news a successful takeover could be imminent.
"We've been working hard with Glyndwr University and the Caia Park Environment Group for the last couple of weeks and we're over the moon Glyndwr are showing interest in the takeover," she said.
"When the centre was closed by Wrexham Council we didn't give up hope and the community have rallied in their support.
"What we need, and we can't stress enough, is the users of the centre and local community to get behind the centre if we reopen because this really is a community venture."
Miss Mitchell added all parties involved would meet next on May 20 to further discuss their business plan.
Glyndwr University was approached but said it would be declining to comment at this time.

DALLAS — Vince Carter felt what New York Knicks guard J.R. Smith did to him Monday in the Dallas Mavericks' game was nothing more than a childish prank.With 10:43 left at Madison Square Garden, Smith pulled Carter's headband down over his left ear. Carter laughed it off then, and despite all the media attention the incident received, he's still unmoved by it."It wasn't a big deal to me," Carter said. "I could see if he pulled it over my eyes while I was running the pick-and-roll right then, where I couldn't see or something like that."Oh yeah, I'm going to complain to the refs then. But he just pulled it over my ear."Carter believes the backlash is a result of Smith's reputation.On Jan. 5 at American Airlines Center, Smith tried to untie the shoelaces of Mavs forward Shawn Marion while Dirk Nowitzki was attempting a free throw. The NBA warned Smith the next day.But a day later, Smith attempted to untie the shoelaces of Detroit's Greg Smith. That's when the NBA stepped in and fined Smith $50,000.The NBA hasn't ruled in the Smith-Carter case.Carter added that Smith also playfully tried to pull on his arm sleeve Monday."I'm like, 'Little kid, little brother get out of here,' " Carter said. "That's how I looked at it because I've known him for a very long time."I didn't think anything of it because it didn't affect anything I was trying to do at the time."Carter said Smith's actions pale in comparison to an incident in April 2012 when Mavericks guard Delonte West stuck his finger in the ear of Utah forward Gordon Hayward."Now we're getting into something a little different," Carter said. "When that happens that's when you complain."Then you start getting a little upset and you say something to the ref."Courting new ideas?Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said he hasn't heard that the NBA could be thinking about expanding the width of the court and possibly adding a 4-point play.However, Carlisle did say: "I went to the Globetrotters game a few weeks ago and they have a 4-point hot spot and they have one quarter they hand out an orange jersey ... the hot-hand jersey."If you get it, and that player scores, they get double points. So if we're lobbying for stuff, let's lobby for the hot-hand jersey."Carlisle, who is on the NBA's competition committee, believes widening the court would be next to impossible because it would possibly require arenas getting rid of some high-priced courtside seats."The only thing I'll say about it is I don't know that arenas are configured for a larger court," Carlisle said. "It's been brought up in past years before."It was always pretty much that those ideas were non-starters because of the size of the arenas and the importance of having close seats."

Time to make push in standings
MIAMI — The time is now if the Marlins hope to make a serious push to get back in the playoff race.
At 59-61, there is little margin for error, and certainly not much room to recover from a losing stretch. Plus, the schedule is favorable with the D-backs in town for four games, and then the Rangers at Marlins Park for two Interleague games next week.
Overall, there are plenty of encouraging signs of late for the Marlins, who are coming off taking two of three against the Cardinals.
What the team must avoid is a letdown against sub-.500 clubs.
"The big thing [Thursday], with Arizona coming in for four, we can't take our foot off the gas," third baseman Casey McGehee said. "We've got to treat every game the same, and hopefully continue to have a good homestand, and continue to put pressure on the teams ahead of us."
The Marlins enter the series in third place, seven games behind the Nationals, in the National League East. They're 4 1/2 games out in the Wild Card race, with five teams ahead of them.
For the most part, the club has done well, posting a 15-11 record since the All-Star Break.
– Joe Frisaro
Building around Stanton high Marlins priority
MIAMI — Giancarlo Stanton is heating up again, and so is speculation about his long-term future.
We've been down this road before, and will continue to do so until the slugger either signs an extension with the Marlins, or moves elsewhere.
This is a time the Marlins are doing plenty of scoreboard watching, as they've moved one game back of the Braves for second place in the National League East. The Marlins are focused on making a playoff push. It's also a time Stanton has homered in eight of his last 13 games, and playing at an MVP level.
With Stanton, increased invariably leads to questions about, what's next?
Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com recently reported there is skepticism in the Marlins' front office that Stanton will sign a long-term deal with Miami. If that is the case, the question becomes, does the club keep him or trade him in the offseason?
Naturally, that set off a wave of stories, primarily out of Boston, regarding Stanton.
In conversations with numerous sources, here's what I've learn:
* As an organization, the Marlins have not thrown in the towel on any chance of signing one of the most feared hitters in the game. The intention is to build around Stanton, and in the offseason make a serious multi-year contract offer.
* Here's the most important piece of information.
With or without a long-term contract, the Marlins are prepared to retain Stanton as long as possible, even if that means waiting it out through the start of his free agency, which is after the 2016 season.
Some may scoff, Stanton's value will decrease. The Marlins don't see it that way. His value to the club is far greater than moving him before they absolutely have to. This team can be a serious playoff contender in 2015 and '16. They'll take their chances in regards to 2017.
* And say, there is an huge trade opportunity out there, for the Marlins to even consider trading Stanton, it won't be strictly a "prospects deal." You're not going to see a repeat of the Miguel Cabrera trade. It's not going to be Stanton for six prospects.
At the Trade Deadline this July, the Red Sox showed what the price of a rental could be when they dealt Jon Lester to the A's for Yoenis Cespedes. Proven big league talent for big league talent.
The Marlins would not be looking for a package of prospects. It could include include top prospects, but it would require major pieces off another club's big league roster.
That's pretty much where the Stanton situation stands.
Also from what I've gathered, the Marlins are upbeat about what is being built in Miami. They fully intend to retain their core.
This is a team that went 62-100 in 2013, and yet on Aug. 13, they find themselves being one-game under .500, and within striking distance of a Wild Card spot. All this without Jose Fernandez since May.
The Marlins are clearly looking to move forward, not move Stanton. Not now. And barring a complete change of thinking, not in the offseason.
In fact, looking forward, the hope is to see the payroll increase to around $75 million in 2015, which would make room for Stanton's salary, and others.
Locking up Stanton is definitely a high offseason priority, but it isn't the team's sole focus.
Adding a top of the rotation starter is high on the team's shopping list. That could mean making a serious push for pending free agent James Shields. Fernandez isn't expected back until around next All-Star Break, and the club wants to build a championship-caliber rotation in anticipation of his return.
What's next for Stanton promises to be one of MLB's biggest offseason stories. To the Marlins, however, as big a priority is to make the rotation as strong as possible for the 2015 playoff run.

Penny seeking to become Mr. 120
CINCINNATI — In some ways, Brad Penny is having a Mr. 3000 moment.
Two years after pitching in the big leagues for the last time, Penny is making a comeback at age 36. He's returned to the team he made his big league debut with in 2000.
The Marlins have welcomed the veteran right-hander into their rotation in hopes he can provide a youthful team with an experienced boost.
In the process, Penny gets a shot at career victory No. 120. From 2000-12, he was 119-100.
The round number is providing some motivation. It's not exactly like the movie "Mr. 3000″ starring the late Bernie Mac.
Playing the fictious character of Stan Ross in the movie released in 2004, Mac was a retired ballplayer making a comeback to reach his 3,000th hit.
If Penny were to get win No. 120 on Saturday, he also would move up a notch in Marlins' history. Currently, he is fifth at 48-42. With a win, he would tie A.J. Burnett for fourth place.
"I'm excited," Penny said. "It's been 10 years since I pitched for the Marlins and I'm looking forward to it. It'll be a little weird. But I've been with so many teams, it's kind of normal."
Penny last pitched in the big leagues as a reliever with the Giants in 2012. His last starts came in 2011 with the Tigers.
"I just took last year off, gave my body a rest," Penny said. "Everything was kind of aching. I just decided to give everything a rest."
It crossed his mind that Saturday's opportunity may never come.
"I'm getting a little older," he said. "But I'm a little wiser, too.
"I'm just glad they gave me the opportunity."
Marlins wins leaders
1. Ricky Nolasco 81-72
2. Dontrelle Willis 68-54
3. Josh Johnson 56-37
4. A.J. Burnett 49-50
5. Brad Penny 48-42

DJ expresses thanks for support
PITTSBURGH — As he was being carted off the field on Thursday night, Marlins reliever Dan Jennings raised his right hand to signal he was going to be alright.
It was the symbolic thumbs up that prompted a loud ovation from the stunned-silent crowd at PNC Park.
After being tested at a local hospital, it appears Jennings indeed is going to be just fine.
A CT scan came back negative, and Jennings was diagnosed with a concussion after being struck on the left side of the head on a comeback liner by Jordy Mercer.
The incident brought PNC Park to complete standstill in the seventh inning of the Pirates' 7-2 win over the Marlins.
Jennings never lost consciousness, and he responded to questions, knowing where he was and what day it was.
After being tested at the hospital, Jennings used social media to express his gratitude to the fans and all those who have reached out to him.
On his @LtDanJennings Twitter account, Jennings tweeted: "@Pirates fans showed amazing support tonight – as always @Marlins fans supporting too."
DJ also tweeted a medical update: "The scans were negative-it seems I'm going to be ok. The support shown tonight has been unbelievable, speechless. God is amazing."
Another tweet read: "God was definitely watching over me tonight."
Jennings' injury is the latest reminder of how players risk so much every time they step on the field.
Miami pitcher Brian Flynn, who also has been a teammate of Jennings in the Minor Leagues, noted that he says a quick prayer before every inning.
Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who dealt with a concussion on a foul tip earlier in the season, says the time is now for baseball to explore more ways to protect pitchers, who are less than 60 feet from home plate after delivering a pitch.
"Hopefully they can find something that works that will protect pitchers," Saltalamacchia said. "I know they've done a pretty good job protecting catchers. I think it's time we need to start worrying about those guys, too."
– Joe Frisaro
Yelich shows power against lefty
PITTSBURGH — PNC Park has some special meaning to Christian Yelich.
As a rookie last year, the Miami outfielder connected on his first big league home run at the home of the Pirates. It was an opposite-field shot to left.
On Wednesday night, Yelich went deep yet again at PNC Park, blasting a no-doubt, two-run drive to right field off Jeff Locke.
It was the 22-year-old's ninth blast of the season, and first off a left-hander. The left-handed hitting Yelich has 13 career home runs, with two off southpaws.
A year ago Yelich had his struggles while facing left-handers, batting .165 against them, compared to .362 off righties.
This season, the numbers have changed a bit.
Yelich's splits are a little surprising. The leadoff hitter is batting .301 (28-for-93) off lefties, compared to .260 (75-for-288) vs. right-handers.
But his on-base percentage is about the same against both — .359 (LHP), .351 (RHP).
– Joe Frisaro
Cosart scratched; Gregg having surgery
PITTSBURGH — Jarred Cosart paid a price for his first big league hit. The Marlins right-hander ended up tweaking his left oblique during the at-bat, and now he has been scratched from his start on Thursday at Pittsburgh.
The injury isn't believed to be serious, and Cosart will not be headed to the disabled list. The club anticipates he will start on Tuesday against the Cardinals at Marlins Park.
Brian Flynn will start in place of Cosart on Thursday.
Miami hasn't announced Saturday's starter, but it is expected to be Brad Penny, who is currently at Triple-A New Orleans.
Cosart was acquired from the Astros on July 31. He made his first start for Miami on Aug. 1. Making the transition to the National League means Cosart now has to bat. In his start against the Reds, he had an infield single, which was his first big league hit. He ran hard to first base, and in the process ended up with a sore left oblique.
The Marlins rotation already is without Henderson Alvarez, who is on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. Alvarez played catch on Wednesday and he is progressing nicely. The expectation is the All-Star will be reinstated on Aug. 14, the first day he is eligible to return. Miami faces Arizona that day.
Also, reliever Kevin Gregg on Thursday is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow.

Timing led to cutting ties with Turner
PITTSBURGH — Cutting loose a promising 23-year-old right-hander is never an easy decision. But where the Marlins are in the here and now, the organization felt it had no other choice but to designate Jacob Turner for assignment on Tuesday.
Still with time to make up ground in the standings, the Marlins felt an urgency to make a difficult move.
Even though it may be a long shot, the Marlins still have playoff aspirations. To stay in the race as long as possible, they are looking for those who give them their best chance.
Because Turner is out of options, the club felt the time was now to move in another direction. So Turner was designated, and lefty Brian Flynn was called up from Triple-A New Orleans.
Don't look for Flynn to make the start on Saturday at Cincinnati. The Marlins have yet to announce who will get the nod that day, but expect it to be Brad Penny.
Of course Penny is not part of the club's long-term future. But the veteran has pitched in playoff chases before. He's a former All-Star, and you may recall, he won two games for the Marlins in the 2003 World Series.
Penny may not ultimately be the answer to help the Marlins reach their playoff goal this year, but he will bring a veteran presence to a young staff. Penny also may wind up logging valuable innings down the stretch, which will ease the work load of the rest of the staff.
If the Marlins were completely in rebuilding mode, like a year ago, the club absolutely would have stuck with Turner. In 2013, when the club finished up 62-100, the front office had more patience. The season was about development and seeing what players could do.
In that scenario, then you ride it out with Turner and see how he performs.
Right now, Turner's tenure with Miami basically ended because he was out of options, and the club was out of patience. Forced to either retain him on the 25-man roster or let him loose, there was no middle ground to allow the right-hander to go down to the Minors to polish up his game.
The Marlins tried Turner in the bullpen and rotation. He struggled in both roles.
Frankly, Turner was rushed to the big leagues at age 20 by the Tigers. He was dealt to the Marlins a year later in a trade that is now even more unpopular with Marlins fans. Turner, Flynn and Rob Brantly came to Miami in 2012 for Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante.
Bad deal? Absolutely.
In those situations, you can do a couple of things. You can hang on and hope, or you can cut your losses, and move forward.
Miami, too, moved Turner quickly to the big leagues, speeding up his service time clock.
Not every high school talent is ready to be in the big leagues two or three years after they graduate. Turner found himself in that situation.
The lesson the Marlins have learned from pitchers like Turner is to give their other prospects more time to develop.
That's why this season we've seen Andrew Heaney and Anthony DeSclafani promoted from Double-A to Triple-A. Both made their big league debuts this season, and both showed they needed more seasoning. So they are back at New Orleans.
In years past, the Marlins had a philosophy of promoting pitchers directly from Double-A to the big leagues. It worked with Dontrelle Willis and Josh Johnson. It wasn't as successful with Scott Olsen, Chris Volstad and others.
The objective of the organization now is to stop developing at the big leagues, and focus on winning. To achieve that goal, bold moves are sometimes made along the way.
– Joe Frisaro
How trade positions Marlins now and future
PITTSBURGH — Organizational depth put the Marlins in position to pull off a trade with the Astros last week that should help the big league roster for at least the next few seasons.
The downside of the deal is it weakened the system from a position player standpoint.
But that's the nature of trades. You have to give to receive. The Marlins did yield quite a bit when they sent outfielder Jake Marisnick and third baseman Colin Moran to the Astros.
The Marlins and Astros finalized a six-player deal less than 30 seconds before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Miami also sent Minor Leaguer Francis Martes and a 2015 competitive balance Draft pick to Houston.
In return, the Marlins acquired right-hander Jarred Cosart and infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez, plus Minor League outfielder Austin Wates.
Ultimately what the trade did was help solidify the rotation for the short and long term.
Cosart, according to several scouts, profiles as a No. 4-caliber starter. His ceiling could be a solid No. 3. Plus, he is big league tested.
All along the Marlins said they wanted a starter with controllable years before reaching free agency. Cosart steps right into the rotation, and he provides a boost for the rest of this season.
Plus, heading in 2015, the Marlins are bracing to be without Jose Fernandez until around the All-Star Break.
Until Fernandez is ready, the organization feels better positioned with a rotation of Henderson Alvarez, Nathan Eovaldi, Cosart, Tom Koehler and perhaps Brad Hand or Jacob Turner.
It's an impressive young group that will be pushed by prospects like Andrew Heaney, Anthony DeSclafani and Justin Nicolino.
Hernandez also is part of the big league plans. The infielder can play second, short and third base, as well as center field. He also can hit.
Moving forward, Hernandez is an option to fill in for Adeiny Hechavarria at shortstop and Casey McGehee at third.
Hernandez also could be a candidate to win the second base job in 2015.
A couple of other things to keep in mind regarding the trade.
* It solidifies McGehee has Miami's third baseman for 2015, and perhaps beyond. McGehee is arbitration-eligible next season. But the club also is open to signing the 31-year-old to an extension.
Although Moran was the sixth overall pick in 2013, he wasn't projected to be big league ready next year.
* By dealing Marisnick, Miami's outfield of Christian Yelich, Marcell Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton are expected to remain together at least through 2015.
If the Marlins had been leaning towards trading Stanton, they only would have done so if they were confident Marisnick was ready to play every day in the big leagues. Obviously, Miami could seek an outfielder in any deal involving Stanton, but that is not what the organization is considering at this point.
Signing Stanton to a long-term deal remains the Marlins' priority. That's not a given, because the slugger will have to agree this is the place he wants to be for at least five or six more years.
Even if Stanton wants to sign year-to-year until he becomes a free agent after 2016, the Marlins appear to be in no rush to make a trade. The return the Red Sox got for Jon Lester has redefined what the market could look like for a rental.
– Joe Frisaro
Alvarez to DL, Turner back in rotation
MIAMI — On Thursday, the Marlins welcomed Jarred Cosart as a newcomer to their rotation. But on Friday, the club suffered a hit when it placed All-Star Henderson Alvarez on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.
Jacob Turner will step in to replace Alvarez in the rotation, and pitch on Sunday in the series finale with the Reds.
Alvarez (8-5) is coming off a win against the Nationals on Tuesday, tossing seven shutout innings. During that game, with the bases loaded and no outs, Alvarez appeared to show some sort of discomfort. Manager Mike Redmond and assistant trainer Mike Kozak went to the mound, but Alvarez stayed in the game, got out of the jam, and made it through seven innings.
Redmond said that Alvarez's shoulder bothered him late Thursday and on Friday, the 24-year-old informed pitching coach Chuck Hernandez that his arm was hurting.
Alvarez is expected to have an MRI.
The Marlins are hoping they caught the inflammation early, and it won't lead to a prolonged injury.
Alvarez is on the DL, retroactive to July 30.
Miami is looking to make a playoff push, which is a reason it acquired Cosart from the Astros on Thursday. When that deal was made, Turner was set to move to the bullpen. But Turner will remain in the rotation.
The Marlins will have to make a corresponding move, adding a reliever to the active roster.
– Joe Frisaro
How deals today may impact Stanton tomorrow
MIAMI — So much for the notion teams get less for rentals.
If anything, what has transpired on non-waiver Trade Deadline day is impact players will command a high price, no matter when they are moved. The Red Sox, Athletics and Cardinals all proved that in one of the most fascinating deadline days in years.
Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes for Yoenis Cespedes and a competitive balance pick? This deal alone showed what the return on a two-month rental can be. Then, John Lackey, technically not a rental, for Allen Craig and Joe Kelly?
Moving proven players, some with World Series experience, for each other has moved the trade thinking away from the belief prospects are dealt for veterans. And you have to trade arbitration-eligible players to maximize your return well before they become free agents.
How does this impact the Marlins? Well, it should further remind the organization that there is zero urgency to trade Giancarlo Stanton. Not just now, but for another year or two, if the club wishes.
Stanton isn't eligible for free agency until after 2016. If the Marlins, who are improving, feel they can make a serious playoff run in 2015 and '16, they may very well decide to retain their All-Star right fielder, regardless of whether he is under a long-term contract or not.
The common belief is Stanton's value will be at his highest this offseason. Maybe it will be. But to think that Miami can't bring in a big time haul if they wait, even up to the Trade Deadline in 2016, is nonsense. Any doubters should simply pay attention to what occurred before noon today.
The reality is, the Marlins can literally see where they are in the standings in 2015 and up to half of 2016 before deciding to deal Stanton. This logic only applies if Miami feels it can't sign their slugger to an extension before then.
Now, this won't stop the rumors, because the rest of the league repeatedly makes calls to the Marlins regarding Stanton. As for what the team is thinking now, they have no intentions of moving Stanton any time soon, and that includes 2015.

ALBANY, N.Y. – One local program kicked off in Albany to help children in need, as the start of a new school year approaches.
Local teen volunteers gathered at the Cap Com Federal Credit Union's new headquarters to fill over 500 backpacks with school supplies for local children in need.
The program is funded by the Cap Com Cares Foundation in an effort to ensure that children whose families are facing economic hardships get what they need.
The backpacks are filled with all the essentials like notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons and rulers.
"This year we were able to partner with some of are more under-served schools in the region to identify some families where that really can't afford to send their kids back to school with all of the items they will need for success in the classroom so it really is a tool for teachers as well," said Theresa Petrone with Cap Com.
"It makes me feel really good to know that I'm helping kids have supplies that they wouldn't have otherwise and kids that are in there situations and the school supplies being able to study and do well with school could potentially get them out of that," said Ethan Carter, a 2014 Shenendehowa graduate.
The backpacks will be delivered to several under-served elementary schools enrolled in Cap Com's school banking program.
This is the sixteenth year the foundation has been putting these back to school backpacks program together.

Pushing for Open Government in Indiana
On June 1, 2010 Senate Democrat Leader Vi Simpson requested information on program cuts from each state agency under the executive branch. The responses received from each agency are available below.
Sen. Simpson's requests specifically posed the following questions:
1. A list of each agency's implemented and proposed cuts and withheld distributions for FY 2010 and 2011 by program
2. The methodology used to determine how cuts are made
3. Implementation dates of all budget cuts and personnel layoffs
4. Expected reversions to date by program
5. Estimated impact of cuts on people served by each program
Agency program cuts in FY2010 and FY2011
Executive Branch agencies (state agencies under the jurisdiction of the Governor) were ordered by Gov. Daniels to make budget cuts of 10% in FY2010 and then 15% in FY2011. In response, a total of $352 million was reverted to the general fund by those state agencies in FY2011. For FY2012 and FY2013, state agencies are being asked to cut a total of $30M - or 3% - each year.
While basic information on state agency reversions is made available to the public, it is still largely unknown how the reductions affected individual programs within agencies and how the cuts impactHoosiers served by those programs.
Why is budget and spending transparency important?
The responsibility of writing Indiana's two-year ("biennial") state budget rests with the Indiana General Assembly. Work on the next state budget will begin this fall, and in order for lawmakers to make informed decisions, they need the facts on the current condition of the state's finances and the programs that the state supports. The members of the General Assembly and the public deserve a full understanding of where reductions have been made and how they have affected Hoosiers before moving forward on a new state budget.
The Indiana Open Government Initiative
Senate Democrats developed the Indiana Open Government Initiative to improve transparency in state government budget and spending. The legislative proposal includes the following: (Click each to learn more)
1. One stop online public access to track taxpayer dollars in state budgets, spending and contracts.
2. Corporate accountability for state economic development incentives.
3. Restrict "Pay to play" for fair competition in awarding state contracts.

In a season of fevered nuptials, there is one question that secretly gnaws at many a wedding guest: "Will this couple stay together?" Friends and family inevitably look to a couple's courtship as a template for the marriage itself. After all, we think, if they fight about cleaning an apartment the size of a shoebox, tensions will surely rise when they're dealing with three kids and a white picket fence.
Are such judgments warranted? Yes, according to Ted Huston, Ph.D., a professor of psychology and human ecology at the University of Texas at Austin, who has collected data on 168 marriages since 1979. Huston believes you can learn a lot about a couple's viability from the tempo of their courtship and the sentiments reported while they are dating.
Huston found that men who feel uncertain about the relationship when they are "part of a couple, but not committed to marriage," are destined for a rocky courtship and marriage. But when women flag similar concerns, there is a "sleeper" effect: Problems usually surface after the honeymoon to wreak havoc on the nascent union.

Everyone was out for the cause on Wednesday, May 7 at Jericho Terrace for Night on the Town in Mineola. Event reps were hoping to raise $100,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Long Island (LLSLI) and as of two weeks before the event, they had sold 700 tickets.
Event coordinator and Piccola Bussola owner Tony Lubrano said he expects the final tally to breach $80,000, surpassing the 2012 event total of $72,500.
"Each year it seems to get better, but this year it was leaps and bounds ahead," Lubrano said. "The crowd was larger and energetic. We definitely raised more money than recent years."
Lubrano's family has been touched by leukemia, specifically his late father, Pasquale. The last event, in 2012, marked the first recipient of the Pasquale Lubrano Community Service, former state Senator Michael Balboni.
"It's a record-setting event," Michael Balboni said last week.
This year, the award went to Senator Jack Martins and CPA Michael Costa, who's sponsored the event in past years. Costa's wife, Camille, is a 16-year lymphoma survivor. He said the cause hits home with his family.
"I appreciate the honor," Costa said. "I like to give and I find when I give back, I get back ten-fold."
"Tonight alone, I expect we raised [a lot] and that's a great thing," Martins said. "Through your generosity, your hard work and support, you have made a difference."
LLSLI has benefited from each of the last three Night on the Town events.
"I just want to say thank you to Tony, the Mavericks and everyone who came out tonight," said LLSLI Executive Director Sarah Lipsky.
The event also honored Mineola resident and community pillar John DaVanzo, who passed away in March, and Frank Ferrante, a past Night on the Town donor and Lubrano award winner. In 2013, Ferrante was battling cancer and passed away later that year.
"It's a great fundraising, honoring great people in the community," said Mineola Mayor Scott Strauss. "Plus, you get a chance to sample local restaurants and hopefully people enjoyed the food, the camaraderie and they'll frequent the restaurants in town. Another great night in Mineola."
Two Mineola World War II veterans, in Ray Vaz and Tom Scardino, were recognized by Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano at Night on the Town. Mangano commended them for their service.
"What can we say other than we owe our freedom to them, who shed their blood for our country," Mangano said.
Night on the Town originally supported the Corpus Christi School. A one-year hiatus occurred when the school was closing and Lubrano approached co-chairman Harry Zapiti for help on a charity event to raise money for leukemia, giving Night on the Town the rebirth it needed.
"It was a great night, at least 1,000 people," said Zapiti. "These are friends, true friends. This is a great venue and I'm glad everyone came out to support the cause."
Sponsored by the United Mavericks, a networking group of local business people, Night on the Town could flourish more than ever, says Rick Collins, a Maverick and Mineola attorney.
"A Maverick is somebody that leads others," he said. "It's someone who looks at a problem and wants to make it better. We see something, we do something. We're not talkers. We're doers."
The Mavericks have been a philanthropic force in the area, most notably its effort in organizing a local contingent to travel to the Tunnel To Towers last September. The event retraces the steps of FDNY fireman Stephen Siller who abandoned his truck and ran through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel to help during the Sept. 11 attacks.
"We're from all different walks of life, but we all have one goal and that is to help," said Maverick Nick Valastro to the crowded room.
The 2014 gala saw the likes of Donna Vivino, who plays the witch in Broadway's smash Wicked, sing a few tunes and Edward de Corsia's New York's Most Dangerous Big Band perform classics from all eras.
