INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) - Once Kyrie Irving finished cracking jokes, thanking Cleveland's fans, his teammates and coaches, he looked down from the podium at the person who promised this would happen.
He was the NBA's Rookie of the Year.
"This award is for us," Irving said to his father, Dred, who raised his son after his wife, Elizabeth, died 15 years ago. "We're bringing it back home and we're going to put it right on the mantle and we're going to put some flashing lights on it so it shines throughout the whole entire house."
This season, Irving shined brightest.
The 20-year-old ran away in voting by a nationwide media panel that could have handed in ballots with two months left in the season. There was really no other choice.
Irving received 117 of 120 possible first-place votes from writers and broadcasters and finished with 592 points, more than three times as many as Minnesota's Ricky Rubio (170), who finished second despite missing most of the season with a knee injury. Denver's Kenneth Faried (129) was a distant third.
Faried, San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard and New York's Iman Shumpert received the other first-place votes, stopping Irving from joining Blake Griffin (2011), David Robinson (1990) and Ralph Sampson (1984) as the only players to win the award unanimously.
Irving played beyond his years and above everyone's expectations _ including his own _ this season when he routinely took over games in the fourth quarter and renewed the hopes of a Cleveland franchise still putting together the pieces after LeBron James left as a free agent two summers ago.
Irving always felt the award was within his reach.
"It was a goal of mine," Irving said. "I kept it on the back burner. I knew as long as we won games and we beat great teams that it was going to come."
The first pick in last year's draft, Irving led all rookies _ and the Cavs _ in scoring with 18.5 points per game. He also led first-year players in field-goal percentage (46.8), was second in assists (5.4) and became one of just six rookies in league history to average at least 18 points and five assists.
However, it was the other elements of his game _ a nasty crossover dribble, a fearless desire to get to the basket, and a clutch, cold-blooded instinct in the fourth quarter _ that separated him from the others.
Cavs coach Byron Scott knew Irving was special long before he made his pro debut.
"The day we brought him in for his individual workout before the draft, I thought he was definitely the best player that we had," Scott said.
Still, Irving's first season, delayed because of the league's labor lockout, began with some doubting whether he was deserving of the top pick or if Cleveland had made a mistake. Irving had played in just 11 games at Duke because of a toe injury.
It didn't take him long for him to show the Cavs made a perfect choice.
"When they drafted me, there were a lot of questions about my toe and everything, would he live up to the hype or whatever," he said. "I didn't pay any attention to all that, just being in these closed doors helped me have a vision and be focused every single day. I wasn't the most heralded No. 1 pick. I had my own goals and I had my own team goals."
Irving made spectacular moves and game-winning shots and earned MVP honors at the Rising Stars game during All-Star weekend in Orlando. But when asked what moment stood above all the others in a magical first season, Irving had a surprise answer.
It came, of all places, in a huddle during a timeout at Indianapolis.
With 4.4 seconds left and the Cavaliers tied 84-84 with the Pacers, Scott, who has formed a tight bond with his young star point guard, drew up a play for Irving to take the last shot even though he was playing just his third game as a pro.
"I was surprised," Irving said. "We kind of knew each other. I didn't really know the bald-headed man. I just knew that when he told me it was a high screen and roll, I was like, `I'm going to do my best to get to the basket.'"
Irving's left-handed layup rolled out, and the Cavs lost in overtime. But Irving knew that from that moment on that the Cavaliers were his team and that Scott expected him to lead them.

Bliss. When I started, you'd write your programme, send it - by sodding post - wait for the punch card operators to type it in. Then you would have to go through all the cards to make sure one had not *become* transposed, then submit & wait for the output. Could take a week. You iPad bods are lucky.........

Re:Am I getting old? (90 comments)

Stating the bleeding obvious is not making a statement at all.
It merely shows your educational lacking and, frankly, idiocy.

OP said there are faster & cheaper boards available, which is undeniably true, the article specifically says it's about the community & the provision of support for school children (Kids are the spawn of goats) which makes the Pi a better tool for school children, due to the community support - for teaching programming.
The Arduino may well be cheaper; but the point's moot.
Re:Am I getting old? (90 comments)
I'm 54 this year. I love playing with my Pi.
But then it's more powerful than the Minicomputers I started on in the late 70's

Virginia Beach is home to SEAL Team Six, the group of warriors who killed Osama bin Laden in 2011. According to Mail Online, factors that played into deciding the "most patriotic city" included a look at "who purchased the most American flags between Jan. 1 and June 24 of this year." Virginia Beach ranked number one on Amazon's list, followed by Miami at the number two spot, and D.C. in third place. The other cities in the top ten were "Atlanta, Las Vegas, Tucson, Ariz., Charlotte, N.C., Seattle, San Diego, and Raleigh, N.C." Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins.

Mike Karpenko displays the TapouT XT formula on Dr. Oz| January 24, 2013 at 10:12 PM EST
Today on the Dr. Oz show, Mike Karpenko stopped by to show him how to be a weight-loss warrior. What he demonstrated was a hardcore 5-minute workout that borrows techniques from mixed martial arts. View the video here.
The method Karpenko features is called TapouT XT. The intent is to burn fat, along with working on your abs and building muscles. (Don't freak out, building lean muscles is what you want to do, it won't make you look like He-man.)
While showing off the moves, viewers were treated to Karpenko's entertaining, high jumping. He was also incredibly charismatic and enthusiastic. His energy? Tangible! (We just hope he's a genuinely nice guy to boot.)
It's worth noting that, as many commenters on the Dr. Oz website have mentioned, that this is a high impact workout and not suitable if you have knee or back problems.
If any of you guys ever like to pretend you have the kickass moves of Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Annie Walker (Piper Perabo), Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner), or Lara Croft (is she still relevant?) then this is a great workout for you to try.
Visit the TapouT XT website. Credit for images goes to that site.

Ice Cream Social at Depot
The summer of 2007 will soon be only a memory, having gone by, as usual, all too quickly. We began in June with President Paul Nowak and Board member Sam Williamson's program on the history of fishing in the Great Lakes and the current outlook for the condition of Lake Charlevoix. In July came Past President Dr. Jack MacKenzie's two repeat programs on the history of Charlevoix's street names at the library. August saw your editor's repeat of the life and works of Earl Young, our master builder in stone, this time in two parts, also at the library's community room. It was fortunate we were in this superb new venue, because over the four evenings the two topics together attracted an attendance of around 460 which could never been accommodated at the Depot. The Earl Young programs brought in the largest audiences the library has seen to date, standing room only, with benches and chairs brought in from the hallways and stacks room. The Board of Directors is now in the discussion stage of transferring both the street names and Earl Young programs to DVD.
Five new exhibits were mounted at the Harsha House Museum: the nature wood carvings of Gordon Neff; military uniforms from our textile collection; John Smith, master cobbler; a photomontage celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Congregational Church; and photos featured in our new book, the History of Bridge Street by Don Campbell. The history of the lighthouses exhibit will be up for one more year.
Many of our activities would not be possible without substantial and excellent volunteer assistance. Again we will be thanking our cadre of loyal volunteers for their support at our annual Ice Cream Social.
When: Tuesday, September 4 @ 7:00 P. M.
Where: The Depot
And! As a special feature of this year's event, we will be recognizing local author, columnist, and longtime Charlevoix enthusiast and booster Edith Gilbert in this her 90th birthday year. One of Edith's major contributions was spearheading the placement of the current bridge railing covers that echo the railings of the second swing bridge to disguise the utilitarian (another word for downright ugly) railings installed in the early 1990s.
The evening is not limited to Society members and volunteers. Feel free to bring friends, guests, and relatives who might be here after Labor Day weekend. Join us for one of the nicest of our social events and the always spectacular view down Lake Charlevoix.
Odds and Ends
The museum store took in a record $3800 in July, and as of this writing (August 18) surpassed that record! The lighthouse sales downtown over Venetian weekend took in over $2200. The museum received an important donation of an Edison Gem Phonograph wax cylinder player from the late 1800s (currently not working), plus seventy-two wax music cylinders. It is on display in the museum's front formal parlor. All the Depot pillars that needed restoration are completed except for two that will be done shortly. Thanks to all who contributed toward the project. Costs came in less than anticipated and all funds donated toward the pillars will now go toward other Depot restoration needs.
The Society welcomes new members: Steve & Marsha Braun; Larry & Jan Freedman
The Society welcomes new Ralph Hamilton Circle members: Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Duke; Sheila Schechter; Ken & Shirley Polakowski; Roger & Cynthia Postmus; Dr. William & Carol Venema; Douglas Peters; Murray Hanna

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Authorities say an Arizona State University student who died after falling from the 10th floor of a Tempe apartment building had earlier attended an off-campus party sponsored by a banned fraternity.
Tempe police still are investigating the death early Sunday of 18-year-old Naomi McClendon.
Investigators believe the Kansas native was intoxicated when she was taken to the high-rise apartment complex. They say it appears she walked on to the balcony, lost her balance and plunged to her death.
Police say the party sponsored by Alpha Epsilon Pi encouraged binge drinking because those who attended paid a $30 fee for unlimited drinking.
Officers raided the party, shut it down and issued seven alcohol citations but McClendon already had left.
Police say Alpha Epsilon Pi isn't officially recognized by ASU after past sanctions.

Porsche announced that it has ended the three-year production run of the Carrera GT by delivering the final unit to a customer in the United Arab Emirates. The last Carrera GT is the 1,111th off the line, which puts the final production run a few hundred or so short of Porsche's original target of 1,500 copies. Inside Line reports that more than half of all the cars sold ended up in North America, however.
Though only in production for three years, Porsche is calling its Carrera GT the "most successful high-performance sports car of all time." We're not sure on what criteria this claim is based, but we're fairly certain despite never having received one to review (what's up with that, Porsche?) that the Carrera GT more than held its own in an elite class of autos.

Neil Patrick Harris Leaving Hollywood?
Neil Patrick Harris is rumored to be thinking about taking a break from Hollywood.
The How I Met Your Mother star recently announced that he and partner David Burtka are expecting twins and now PopEater's Rob Shuter reports that the 37-year-old actor is thinking about leaving showbiz to focus on his family.
A friend claims that Neil is "thinking about taking a break" from Hollywood and is "moving from Hollywood to New York City to be a full-time daddy."
The clues to Neil's retirement are allegedly in the real estate: Neil is reportedly looking to buy a new apartment in the Big Apple and Shuter reports that he spotted Neil looking at a $3.5 million apartment.
Of course, having a residence in New York isn't uncommon for Hollywood actors, particularly ones like Neil who occasionally work on Broadway. (The Emmy-nominated star appeared in Assassins in 2004.)
If Harris is considering leaving Hollywood, he hasn't showed any signs of slowing down his career: Neil recently directed his Beastly co-star Vanessa Hudgens in a special production of Rent at the Hollywood Bowl and he is nominated for an Emmy for his guest role on Glee.
Watch a video of Neil singing "Dream On" with Matthew Morrison on Glee below:

Manchester United fans around the world have declared Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic to be the greatest centre-back pairing in the club's illustrious history.
The departing Reds were the runaway winners in our poll on which defensive alliance was best, with the other candidates being Jaap Stam and Ronny Johnsen, Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister and Martin Buchan and Gordon McQueen.
The response from fans was fantastic and, impressively, Ferdinand and Vidic gleaned 73 per cent of the many thousands of votes cast on ManUtd.com.
Bruce and Pallister finished in second place with 16 per cent, followed by Treble winners Stam and Johnsen with seven per cent.
Buchan and McQueen, a formidable Scottish duo who starred through the late Seventies and early Eighties, earned the remaining four per cent of votes.
Congratulations to our winners, Rio and Vida, and thank you to everyone who voted.

In the recent past, the world has quickly turned into a global village. This transformation is riding on the great advancements in technology, particularly in the field of communication.
For New York residents, the world is being brought to the people by building the largest free municipal WI-FI deployment known to mankind. With 10,000 internet pylons, this project is meant to replace the ordinary pay phones with a console that apart from providing free domestic calls, it will also provide free public Wi-Fi.
Dubbed The Verge , the project is dependent on advertising revenues for funding. With this system in place, life for New Yorkers will never be the same again. Offering round the clock internet connectivity free of charge; this amenity will be a relief to individuals as well as businesses who will enjoy the services of free internet.
Sources within LinkNYC indicate that this system will provide a Wi-Fi network with gigabit speeds. While this news is causing excitement, questions are being raised on the technology they plan to employ. Business Insider, according to Brad Reifler will be Wi-Fi compared to the usual public Wi-Fi is 100 times faster.
The usability of this technology is being scrutinised, reason being that the available handsets still lack the capacity to support existing 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard despite the technology being around for years. Whatever technology LinkNYC plans to use, it can only be hoped that it will be easily upgradeable.

Beyond Scared Straight
On the Season 2 premiere of Beyond Scared Straight, at-risk youths once again are thrown in a prison where people scream in their faces and otherwise attempt to show them that jail is no place to end up. This episode takes place at the Mecklenburg County Jail in Charlotte, N.C., where one of the teens laughs when an inmate basically says he's going to rape him. Inmate Catoe, who's awaiting trial for assault with a deadly weapon, refers to the kid Alex as "Alexis," says they're "fittin' to be married" and tells him that he's going to put him in a dress. Hilarious, right? WRONG!...

I really like this wall hanging. I have had many compliments already. It is a little darker than the picture but works perfectly for me.
It is pretty but two of the squares came bent and unable to staighten.
The picture on internet and brochure do not show correct colors if product. It is much darker then it looks in picture because of lighting they use.
I love it I bought it for my kitchen and it is beautiful on my wall
This piece is darker than the picture when I received it. I found it to be very dull and not as pretty as in the catalog. I was disappointed and will be returning it. Be aware that return shipping was pricey.

The Walking Dead. For years, the title was known -- and adored -- by comic fans, and then this past October the franchise went mainstream with the AMC television show. Now, it's a phenomenon that nearly everyone knows about.
A video game was inevitable, and Telltale Games is happy to answer the call. Today, the developers behind adventure games such as Back to the Future and Sam & Max announced that it has entered into a "multi-year, multi-platform, multi-title" Walking Dead partnership with Robert Kirkman, creator of the franchise. Specific platforms for the project weren't announced, but the agreement covers PC, Mac, consoles, handhelds, mobile and social gaming media. Telltale is looking at a fourth quarter 2011 release.
We don't know about you, but those aren't enough hard details for us. That said, we grabbed Robert Kirkman and threw our burning questions at him about the game, TV show and Invincible. What did he have to say? Let's find out...
A Walking Dead game?! Does this prove conclusively that there is a God, Mr. Kirkman?
- Robert Kirkman: I think the jury is still out on that one, but the trail is definitely warm.
What kind of game is this? Third-person action? Adventure? Where does this game take place in terms of the Walking Dead timeline? Will we see characters that haven't been explored on TV and/or comics? Who do we play as? Are we Rick, someone in his group or just a survivor in the Walking Dead World? Oh, snap, are we zombies?! Tell us something?!
- Robert Kirkman: The game is at an early stage, and we're in the process of mapping this all out now.
What Walking Dead universe does the game fall into? Is it happening in the comic world? The TV show? A mix of both?
- Robert Kirkman: Definitely within the comic book world, just like the novel series.
Telltale is known for episodic adventures; is that what's happening here?
- Robert Kirkman: Yes, it's definitely episodic.
If I can bend your ear and beard about the TV show, the last two episodes of Season 1 veered drastically away from the comic book. Will Season 2 continue down this path and into original TV stories or will it be circling back around to pick up storylines from the comic?
- Robert Kirkman: For the most part, it will be circling back around but, like the entirety of the first season, there will always be divergences from the comic story to keep people on their toes.
Besides Frank Darabont, it's a new group of writers for Season 2. Have you talked to Glen Mazzara about the direction they're looking to go with the series? If so, what is it?
- Robert Kirkman: I've been working closely with Glen for a week now, and you're going to have to wait for any details, because I can't reveal anything right now.
Are there any characters you're hoping to see introduced soon on the show?
- Robert Kirkman: Yes -- Michonne, Tyrese, Hershel... whether or not we'll get to all of them in [season 2]is up in the air. I'm looking forward to most every comic book character making it into the show, but I'm excited to see who we actually do get to.
You wrote an episode in season one, are you going to pen one in season two?
- Robert Kirkman: Currently, yes.
