- Directly enact a constitutional amendment.
- Directly enact a new state law.
- Nullify a law enacted by the Colorado General Assembly through veto referendum.
Submitting proposed wording for review
For an initiative, proponents must submit the original text of the measure to the directors of the Legislative Council Staff and the Office of Legal Services for review and comment. Proponents must designate two people as those representing the proponents in all matters affecting the petition. Drafts are to be submitted in typewritten form and are to be written in plain, non-technical language, using words with common and everyday meaning understandable to the average reader.
For a referendum, proponents must file signed petitions with the Secretary of State, not more than 90 days after final adjournment of the legislative session that passed the bill on which the referendum is demanded. Referenda cannot be demanded on laws "necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, and appropriations for the support and maintenance of the departments of state and state institutions."
Public hearing on proposed ballot language
Upon receiving a proposed initiative, directors set a date for a public hearing no later than two weeks from the date the measure is filed. The director of the Legislative Council Staff provides proper notice of the date, time, and place for the meeting. Measures accepted as a legal filing are a matter of public record and are available for public distribution.
Comments on proposed initiated measures are prepared by the Legislative Council Staff and the Office of Legislative Legal Services for review during the public hearing. The comments typically contain a summary of the proposal followed by a series of questions concerning the wording, intent, and purpose of the proposal. The Legislative Council Staff and Legislative Legal Services directors may request the assistance of state agencies in preparing the comments. Agencies are required to assist when so requested. Proponents receive the comments prior to the meeting, but the comments are not disclosed to the public before the hearing, except with permission of the proponents.
The public hearing conducted by the Legislative Council Staff and Legislative Legal Services is informal in nature. The purpose of the meeting is to give the public notice that a proposal on a given topic is under consideration and to review the purposes and wording with the proponents so that the proposal states what the proponents want it to state. The comments are intended to help proponents clarify their proposal, but proponents are not required to accept the suggestions made in the comments.
The meeting is open to the public, but no testimony or comments are accepted from anyone other than the proponents. The meeting is tape recorded for the public record.
Title Setting Board
Following the public hearing, proponents may submit the measure to the Secretary of State who chairs the Title Setting Board. The ballot title, submission clause, and summary are established by the Board, consisting of the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the director of the Office of Legislative Legal Services.
The Title Board usually completes its work on the ballot title, submission clause, and summary at its first meeting. If the board is unable to complete action on all of its agenda, motions for rehearing may be continued until the board's next meeting.
Single-subject restriction
Colorado initiatives must adhere to the single-subject rule. This requirement was added to the Colorado Constitution in 1994 in a constitutional amendment, Colorado Single-Subject Act (1994), approved by the voters, and unsuccessfully challenged in the case of Campbell v. Buckley.[1]
If the state Title Board determines that the measure does not comply with the single-subject rule, proponents are given an opportunity to make changes to the proposal to bring it into compliance.
If the changes by the proponents involve only the removal of language to achieve a single subject, another review and comment hearing with the Office of Legislative Legal Services and the Legislative Council Staff may not be required. However, if the board finds that revisions are so substantial that another hearing is in the public interest, another review and comment hearing may be required.
If a proposal is revised and resubmitted to the board, a ballot title can be set or the Title Board may conclude that the proposal still contains more than one subject. In the event of a dispute over the single-subject rule, the board can set the title without reference to provisions it considered in violation of the rule. If the proposal passes, the constitution states that portions not clearly expressed in the ballot title are void.
Challenges to Title Board's decision
If a proponent or any registered elector claims that a ballot title, submission clause, or summary is unfair or does not fairly express the meaning of a proposal, that person may request a rehearing by the Ballot Title Setting Board. Such request must be made within seven days after the title and summary are set.
Such rehearing will be held at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the board. If the board is unable to complete action on the request for rehearing, consideration of the request may be continued until the next available day, except that if the request was to be heard on the last meeting date in May, it must be heard within 48 hours after the motion is filed. An appeal for change in the ballot title, submission clause, and summary may be made to the Colorado Supreme Court, pursuant to Section 1-40-107 (2) and (5), C.R.S.
Petition form approval
Once the seven-day period for filing a motion for rehearing with the Title Board has passed, petition forms may be submitted to the Secretary of State for approval. Approval or disapproval is to be made within 48 hours. Once the form has been approved, proponents may begin circulating petitions.
Signature requirements
The number of signatures required for a successful petition is equal to 5 percent of the total number of votes cast for the office of Secretary of State in the preceding general election. The same number of signatures is required for constitutional amendments, statutes and referendums.
Year | Amendment | Statute | Veto referendum |
2015 | 98,492 | 98,492 | 98,492 |
2014 | 86,105 | 86,105 | 86,105 |

2008 | 76,047 | 76,047 | 76,047 |
See law: Colorado Constitution, Article V, Section 1, ¶ 2
Petition circulation period
Initiative proponents have six months to collect their signatures from the time that their wording is approved by the Title Board, but signatures must be turned in no later than three months prior to the election where the measure is to appear on the ballot.
Individuals who circulate a petition for an initiative or referendum measure must be an "elector," which means a resident of the state, a citizen of the United States, and at least eighteen years of age at the time the petition is circulated. Circulators do not have to be registered to vote.[2]
Colorado does not have a distribution requirement.
Signature verification process
The Secretary of State verifies signatures by a random sample procedure. Not less than 5% of the signatures and not fewer than 4,000 signatures are to be verified. If the sample indicates the number of valid signatures is 90% or less of the required total, the petition is deemed insufficient. If the valid signatures are found to be 110% or more of number required, the petition is deemed sufficient. If the validity rate falls between 90% and 110%, the law requires that each signature be verified.
Making the ballot and taking effect
Once sufficient signatures are certified, a measure is placed on the next general election ballot. If an initiated constitutional amendment is approved by voters, it becomes part of the Colorado Constitution. If an initiated state stature is approved, it becomes Colorado law. In the case of a referendum on a current state law, if the state law at issue is approved, it remains the law of the state. If the state law is disapproved, it becomes void. All approved ballot measures shall take effect as of the date of the official declaration of the vote by the governor, but not later than 30 days after the vote has been canvassed.
Legislative tampering
- Main article: Legislative tampering
Colorado law allows the Colorado General Assembly to repeal and amend an initiative statute passed by the voters.
To file an initiative
The last day to submit text of an initiative for possible placement on the next general election ballot is three months prior to that election.
To submit petitions
Initiative Petitions: Proponents have six months from the time that their wording is approved by the Title Board to collect their signatures, but signatures must be turned in no later than three months prior to the election where the measure is to appear on the ballot.
Referendum Petitions: Petitions for a referendum on a bill passed by the state legislature must be filed with the Secretary of State not more than 90 days after final adjournment of the legislative session that passed the bill on which the referendum is demanded.
Campaign finance
Colorado's campaign finance laws include the following notable features:
- Groups in support or opposition of a ballot measure in Colorado are treated differently than political action committees.
- Colorado prohibits corporations and labor unions from spending their money to fund advertisements in support or opposition of a ballot issue.
- Colorado allows corporations and labor unions to donate to Issue Committees.
Proposed changes
Bills that have or might be introduced in the 2011 session of the Colorado General Assembly include:
The following proposals were made during the 2009-2010 session of the Colorado General Assembly:
Colorado House Bill 1326 (2009) was signed into law by Gov. Bill Ritter on Friday, May 29, 2009. The law was sponsored in the Colorado General Assembly by politicians Terrance Carroll, Brandon Shaffer, Josh Penry, Mike May, and Lois Court.[3]
Independence Institute v. Colorado Secretary of State, a lawsuit challenging several of HB 1326's key provisions, was filed in federal court in 2010. On June 10, 2010, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction forbidding the state from enforcing HB 1326's ban on pay-per-signature.
HB 1326 includes these provisions:
- It forbids campaigns from paying circulators on a pay-per-signature basis.
- People who successfully challenge the validity of signatures in court could sue the campaign to recover attorney's fee.
- Ballot measures that change state laws (initiated state statutes) will henceforward be referred to as "propositions."
- Requires that petition drive management companies who hire paid circulators go through a licensing process.
- Petition sheet must carry a label to warn people that their signature will help place the question on the ballot.
- Circulators who collect more than 100 signatures are required to go through a government-sponsored training procedure before they are allowed to collect additional signatures legally.
- People who sign a petition and later change their mind will be able to have their signature withdrawn.[4]

Foam forming technology gives exciting opportunities to develop new recyclable and light weight wood fiber products. It also gives a possibility to decrease raw material and production costs remarkably compared to recent technology. VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, together with industry has started setting up a new pilot scale technology platform for foam forming applications.
With foam forming technology it is possible to improve paper properties and enable to manufacture high porosity, smooth and light weight products (e.g. hygiene products, insulation materials and filters). It may be solution for various printed intelligence, nano- or microcellulose applications.
"The foam forming technology requires significantly less water than conventional paper and board manufacturing. In foam forming large amounts of air is mixed to fiber furnish which makes possible to achieve unique product properties. Technology reduces water and energy consumption while saving raw material. Laboratory results from the Forestcluster programmes have shown potential for remarkable fiber savings states Technology Manager Janne Poranen from VTT.
New business opportunities for forest sector
At the beginning of this year VTT launched a KOTVA project targeting to scaleup foam forming technology to SUORA. SUORA is a pilot-scale research environment for fibre processes, developed in close collaboration with the members of Forestcluster Ltd. SUORA offers cost efficient prototyping of ideas, fast experimenting, and development of new process solutions. The two-year KOTVA project has a budget of EUR 2 million and it supports the national research strategy of the Finnish forest cluster. The forest cluster has a target to double its turnover before year 2030. Half of the turnover is expected to come from entirely new products.
In the KOTVA, VTT and the University of Jyvskyl combine their knowledge in developing new production and measuremen

I built fiberglass door pods, but the way I drive (with my left knee bent) alot of the time makes me worry that the time invested in them could have been better spent on kicks.
I have DLS Iridium 3-ways going up front. The 6.5" midbass will go in the factory door location. I have a set of Q-logic kicks, but they are made for a 6.5" driver, and my mid is a 3.5"...
Now because I'm not using the grill for the 6.5", I mocked up one of the Q-logics so the 3.5" mid is hidden behind the 6.5 grill. Looks much better then the litle 3.5" grill mounted on a kick designed for a 6.5, but it jujst takes up alot more room then it needs to for my application.
I couldnt find anything under the search bar, and am wondering if anyone here has glassed or fabricated custom kicks? I'm wondering if its possible to actually inset the mid (and maybe the tweet) so they dont protrude beyond the plane of the existing kick.
Fabricating custum grills with gray grill cloth could possible make them stealth, or at the very least not noticable.
Doing this would keep the use of the dead-pedal (which is good). It would also help keep a factory look.
The DLS mid is an enclosed speaker, so air-space etc arent a factor, although I would still use non-hardening clay and deadener on the back side for added strength.
Anyone done or seen custom kicks for a 06 Taco???
Any ideas?

God, I hope not, I have been waiting for the Fast Times at Ridgemont High reunion movie. Maybe they can get NEM to play Mr. Hand
They stop the hunger strike 3-4 times a day. Conveniently around breakfast, lunch and dinner time and an odd time around midnight. Very strange...
It's a pretend hunger stike so they can pretend that they care. What else can you expect from people who pretend for a really good living.
Yeah those people are a bunch of phonies. If they really cared, they'd find some football forum and go to the political subsection and demonstrate how much they care by posting all the time. Their political speech is so cheap and meaningless as opposed to what happens here.
How the hell do you know what any of us do when we aren't posting here? I imagine the "normal" people here contribute more to society than Penn and Sarandon could ever think of doing. Are you star-struck?
While I'm sure there's a chance that you, personally, have greased a dozen terrorists, I can only comment on what you present here, which is about as useful and meaningful as the hunger strike. btw what is the source of your insight into what any of them do when the cameras are off?

Every ranked game I play with one of you especially spanish duo's ends up like this. "noobs" -Minions have spawned- "An Ally has been slain, DOUBLE KILL" "jajajaja" "jaja" "xD" "all noobs jajaja" THERE IS A BRAZILIAN SERVER FOR A REASON. PLEASE, ILL PAY FOR YOUR TRANSFER, JUST GET OUT OF NA.

you dont pay them, just create a new acc buy morde and give it to them in exchange for getting their currect acc banned/inactive.
The 4th Triumvir
This brings up a good question. Why are players allowed to freely transition between regions? When playing outside your region, not only are you unable to understand a majority of people (unless you speak English and live in the EU and use the NA server), but you also experience noticeably higher amounts of lag. Moreover, you are completely unable to communicate with your team, reducing your team's effective strength due to poor communication.
that's not portuguese. thats spanish,mexico is on north america. but still brazilians are a bunch of *******s who refuse to speak english when there is only one brazilian speaking player on his team and they hardly follow any rule or don't act like *******s. and all this coming from another brazilian,it hurts me that i had to move to the south american server to have less lag. we are like the russians on dota 2
Race has nothing to do with it. I recently met one of the best supports I've seen, and guess what, he's brazilian. I have many brazilian friends who are great at this game, so its definatly not race that affects skill
first time Vayne
I don't believe it's the OP's point that race is directly affecting skill level, but that Brazillians are simply more trolly in general. He makes no claim on the source of the difference in attitude that he is observing. Please don't degrade this conversation in a race issue. It could be a cultural thing (I don't know, but this would be interesting...), or the accounts you encounter could be cross-regional smurfs.

After 1 year I still love it
By Carrie
from Edwardsville, IL
Comments about Dimplex 23-Inch Deluxe Electric Fireplace Insert/LED Log Set - DFI2310:
Frequently people write a review as soon as they receive something, but I wanted to wait a year and make sure I didn't have any issues and still like a product. I still love my electric fireplace. On cold mornings I will turn the heat on to take the chill off then turn off the heat and enjoy the fire. Several friends have seen it and loved it. It works perfect for what I want.If I want to burn wood, all I have to do is unplug it and put it in the closet.

Excellent Choice
By Fritz
from New Braunfels, TX
About Me Midrange Shopper
We seldom used our wood burning fireplace as it was just too much trouble. Decided to get an electric model for looks more than heating. Julia, the sales lady convinced me to purchase this model rather than a cheaper one and I am so thankful she did. We are really enjoying it and would recommend it highly. Thanks so much.
Perfect perception
By karend
from Tallmadge Ohio
We have two fireplaces and now two inserts. Love how it looks and love the heat!
Truly love the product
By keats
from Boston, MA
About Me High-end Shopper
We had a gas log and the heat it generated was way too much for our use. This flame looks so real that no one knows it is artificial. We can now use it all day and keep the heat element off and enjoy the fireplace whenever we choose.
Good product, timely delivery
By Jay

Everything they said was true!
Birthday Gift
By Tom H.
from Jacksonville, Florida
Received as a birthday present. Have not used the fireplace in our condo in 18 years as we don't not want the mess of real wood nor the trouble of gas. Can finally now enjoy the ambiance and warmth of our fireplace!
Better than Gas!
By Tom
from Loudon TN
When remodeling our great room we wanted to change out the gas fireplace insert since it was so costly to use. My husband found this on-line and I would have to say I was skeptical about it. Boy was I wrong. It looks great plus puts out ample heat for the room. Love it so much more then the gas insert we had before. High quality for a reasonable price!

Warm and cozy
By JR
from Stephens City, VA.
About Me Budget Shopper
I am very pleased with the fireplace insert. I was reluctant to purchase this product online without being able to see it in person. It turned out to be better than I could have imagined! The ordering and delivery process was very efficient. The online customer service was extremely helpful. Installation was simple. It has turned our formerly dark/cold family room into a delightful place! No more cutting wood and hauling logs.
Does the JOB
By SV
from Morgantown,WV
We now use our wood burning fireplace with no mess and no hassle. It turns the room warm in a matter of minutes and creates a cozy atmosphere. Would highly recommend this insert.
Put the chainsaw away
By Bollie
from B.C. Canada
Installed log set into existing brick fireplace. No changes required to the fireplace structure so simply pull the unit out and burn wood again if so desired. Electric flame incredibly realistic.

Keith, just wait until August and September when the GOP starts throwing the hard stuff. I recieved an email this morning that Obama wants to repeal the 2nd Amendment. There was already a story about his adultery on a tabloid magazine 5 months ago. I plan to use this dirty political spread of lies against the GOP and point out that we have lived through 8 years of intense lying from the party and it is time to throw the bastards out.
People who give a damn about the integrity of our nation can be turned around to rid us all of this horrible bunch of users and abusers but it is the people who do not want to discuss the situation that we must find a way to get to. Politics is too complicated for most people and all the two-timing of our leaders is simply ignored.
Apathy will kill America and not even 9/11 can budge it.

Darkness prevailed over the lands
Mere beings, the reason lone
Blood dripped from their hands
Thus quenching the thirst that had grown.
Ensconcing their hearts in darkness
Power, a temporary component
Hindered their world from brightness
The others misidentified as opponents.
The wings of peace were ripped away fiercely
By those who sought eternal power
To bind it in their hands firmly
Spreading the venoms of evil all over.
Never does the darkness vanish truly
For its shadow persists in hearts so vile
Once the darkness takes over completely
Sanity remains a mere façade for a while.

Max Chilton has been handed a three-place grid penalty for the Austrian Grand Prix after colliding with Marussia team-mate Jules Bianchi in Canada.
Following the highs of their first points in Monaco, the minnows' race could not have gone much worse in Montreal as both cars were eliminated after just three corners.
Chilton lost the rear end of his car under braking on the opening lap and, as it started to rotate, collided with Bianchi, firing the Frenchman into the wall and bringing his own run of 26 consecutive finishes to a halt.
However, Sky Sports F1 pundit Martin Brundle believes the penalty was harsh as he did not consider Chilton's actions to have been reckless.
"It was 100% Max's fault, but it was the first lap of the race, there was nothing malicious or wild about it, he just lost the car on the apex of turn three," Brundle said. "He was on the racing line, it is not as if he went racing in with his wheels locked up and t-boned him."
Although he has yet to score a point in F1, Chilton has performed creditably this term, out-qualifying the highly-rated Bianchi on four occasions - including this weekend.

"Quagmire in Holland" proudly bills itself as a "psychedelic adventure." In fact, the DVD box, which indicates that this movie has digitally remastered audio and video, makes the bold statement that it is "quite simply the world's only 21st century psychedelic film experience." It seems that the definition of "psychedelic" has changed. If the new definition involves sparse, amateurish computer animation and cheap editing effects set to a dull bar rock soundtrack, then the film's claims are accurate. Otherwise, this is just a pointless bit of meandering that will be hard pressed to appeal even to the film crew's family and friends.
The movie, which is more like a travel special for the mentally challenged, follows the "adventures" of two men in Europe (mostly Holland). There is the aging, loser cowboy (Rex Xanders) and his middle-aged, hanger-on buddy (Richard Kasper). They travel around asking people dumb questions about the missing windmills and eventually purchase some mushrooms, which is supposedly how the filmmakers came up with the psychedelic angle. That's it. Dumb questions, wandering around, and legal drug purchases — this is not a movie.
To successfully film something like this, you need interesting people (not a dumb-ass hipster wannabe cowboy who equates Harley Davidsons with the heavy metal crowd) and some kind of vision. Both things are lacking here, and that makes this film less interesting than a Hallmark made-for-television movie. It's a disgrace to the psychedelic genre, Americans and filmmaking in general. Why it had to be digitally remastered is beyond me.
If drugs are to blame for this mess, then this is the best anti-drug message any group could hope to get across. Apparently drugs can dull the creative edges and make people boring. If that doesn't scare you enough to stop using, nothing will.

PUBLISHED: 12 Oct 2011 14:17:38 | UPDATED: 13 Oct 2011 05:00:30PRINT EDITION: 12 Oct 2011
Several hundred people have marched through Manhattan, New York City to take the Occupy Wall Street protest literally to the doorsteps of some of the richest tycoons in the US.
The Occupy Wall Street protest is going global and scheduled to reach Australia's capitals on October 15.
Galvanised by an overnight crackdown on protesters in Boston, the demonstrators took a route through the ritzy Upper East Side on Tuesday, past the homes of media mogul Rupert Murdoch and conservative industrialist David Koch.
"JPMorgan, you're no good! People need a Robin Hood!" some chanted outside the luxury apartment block that is home to JPMorgan Chase & Co chief executive officer Jamie Dimon.
Hedge fund managers and real estate developers were among the other billionaires with dwellings along the route.
Making the richest Americans pay more taxes is a core demand of Occupy Wall Street, its left-wing and labour union supporters, and its many offshoots that have sprung up throughout the US.
Notable among the placards in what organisers dubbed the "Millionaire's March" was a mock cheque in the amount of $US5 billion made out to wealthiest 1 per cent of Americans.
The figure corresponds with the value of a New York State tax on the wealthy that was repealed in December last year.
"I have never seen anything like this on the Upper East Side," said retiree Sally Ardrey as the marchers made their way up Park Avenue, watched by a large number of police and a helicopter overhead.
"I understand the general feeling," she said. "There is frustration. I've also been affected. I'm retired, but my income, with the stock market, has come down."
New York's wealthy mayor Michael Bloomberg pledged on Monday to let protesters stay at Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan's financial district so long as they respect the law.
Earlier on Tuesday, police in Boston arrested 129 protesters in one of the biggest crackdowns so far on the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Boston Police Department spokesman Eddy Chrispin said "a majority" had been arrested for unlawful assembly when police converged on the crowd in the early hours of the morning.
"Everyone who was arrested opted to be arrested," Mr Chrispin told AFP, after the protesters refused to obey a police request to disperse peacefully.
On its website, Occupy Boston said "hundreds of police officers in full riot gear" had "brutally attacked" its protesters along the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a string of parks named after the mother of late president John F. Kennedy.
Tents were destroyed and personal belongings thrown away during the crackdown that began at about 1.30am, US eastern daylight time.
In Washington DC, police arrested six protesters who had surged into the Hart Senate Office Building and chanted slogans for about 15 minutes before security officers intervened.
The snap protest was spearheaded by members of Stop the Machine, an anti-war coalition that claimed on Tuesday that it had secured a four-month permit to continue a sit-in that began last Thursday near the White House.

Amway Arena, Orlando, FL
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Ryan Anderson admits he's been joking with Rashard Lewis about who will be the Orlando Magic's starting power forward when the All-Star returns from suspension.
Fast Facts
• The Magic have won four of their last 15 games vs. the Suns.
• The Suns' seven-game winning streak dating back to last season ended.
• The Suns were denied the second 5-0 start in franchise history, the other came in the 1984-85 season.
-- ESPN Stats & Information
For now, it's no joke: Anderson is filling in just fine.
Anderson had 20 and 10 rebounds, Dwight Howard scored 25 and the short-handed Magic defeated the previously unbeaten Phoenix Suns 122-100 on Wednesday night.
"How can I control it? I can't do much more than what I'm doing now," Anderson said about the starting spot. "I have a great opportunity to play now. Of course, it's Rashard Lewis. It's a given he's going to play. He's an All-Star. He's going to help this team when he comes back. It will be great to even be his backup."
Playing without injured Vince Carter and Lewis, the Magic built a 23-point lead in the third quarter to pull away from the Suns.
Amare Stoudemire finished with 25 points and 14 rebounds for Phoenix (4-1), which was looking to match the 1984-85 team for the franchise's best start. The Suns had come back from deficits in the first half but never did come close after the Magic built a big lead late.
"Well, dreams of an undefeated season have gone down," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said.
Jameer Nelson added 16 points and Mickael Pietrus had 15 points for the Magic. And they did it despite Carter missing the game with a sprained left ankle that coach Stan Van Gundy said doesn't appear serious, while Lewis is suspended for the first 10 games after testing positive for an elevated level of testosterone.
Van Gundy said he was impressed how Anderson came off his only poor performance this season Tuesday night, when he was 1-for-11 from 3-point range.
But he has said from the beginning of the season that Lewis will start when he returns. Anderson, who came over in the trade with Carter from New Jersey this summer, is only giving Orlando an added and perhaps overlooked piece.
"I've coached for a long time in a lot of different levels, and I've complained about a lot of things. I never recall myself upset or complaining that I have too many good players," Van Gundy said. "There the ones it will be tough on, not me. It will be easier on me. I'll have more options."
The Magic turned a close game into a blowout.
Led by a powerful performance by its front court, Orlando opened the third quarter with a 16-4 spurt. Howard and Anderson were slicing through the paint for dunks, and their dominant play inside opened up shots on the perimeter that Orlando -- at times -- couldn't seem to miss.
The Magic shot 52.2 percent from 3-point range and 52.3 percent from the field for the game. But they didn't get much resistance.
The Suns started slow for the second straight night.
Orlando used a flurry of 3-pointers, including a pair by Anderson, to take a 14-point lead in the first quarter that didn't last long. The Magic started missing, the Suns started running -- as they so often do -- and ended the period on a 12-2 run that tightened the gap to 29-25.
That seemed to be the early pattern.
The Magic's starters returned in the second quarter and, at first, hardly missed. That potent 3-point attack was in full force, with J.J. Redick and Pietrus connecting to open up an 11-point lead.
"I think they were pretty upset about the loss in Detroit the night before," Stoudemire said. "They came out and pretty much took it out on us."
Howard picked up his third foul with 4:46 remaining in the half after he got tangled up with Jarron Collins underneath the basket. Then Howard picked up a technical foul for arguing.
Steve Nash and Stoudemire had the fast-pace, pick-and-roll offense going strong early. And the pair helped the Suns trim Orlando's halftime lead to 58-52 with Howard on the bench.
In defense of his player, Van Gundy said the NBA has always treated perimeter players like Cleveland's LeBron James and Miami's Dwyane Wade differently.
"We don't let people bang on them like that," Van Gundy said. "I think there's a double standard on the way they call it. My personal thing is I think the league loves the perimeter play and is not so fond of inside play. But with all that said, and those are just my opinions, Dwight knows how the game is called and he's just got to deal with it."
Game notes
Phoenix played without Leandro Barbosa, who has battled a sore right wrist since the summer. ... Pietrus returned to the lineup after missing the last two games with flu-like symptoms. He came off the bench in place of Matt Barnes.

Gastroenterology and endoscopy practices to open in new site Sept. 17
To accommodate the recent expansion of its staff, Kansas Gastroenterology, 848 N. St. Francis, will soon move into the former Ted's Montana Grill near K-96 and Webb Road.
"It's an exciting time in the practice," said gastroenterologist Michael Lievens. "We really stuck our neck out with the building and hiring new people at same time, in terms of capital investment, which is substantial. I'm excited to see how it comes to fruition, and we couldn't be happier."
The current location will close at noon Thursday. Offices will open Sept. 17 at the new location, 3121 N. Webb Road. The offices also will house Kansas Endoscopy.
Over the summer, Kansas Gastroenterology hired two more physicians: gastroenterologists Eiad Nasser and Akshay Gupta. Gupta has special training in esophageal ultrasound, a new procedure at the clinic.
Lievens said Gupta's training is unmatched in the area, and he is bringing skills to Wichita that are new to the market.
"We'll have more capability in terms of room and volume, but (Nasser and Gupta have) each brought new technical experience and technology," Lievens said.
The new location doubles the size of the old endoscopy unit and has additional procedure recovery beds, said office manager Sandy Zernickow.
The space at the former restaurant also has been completely reworked.
"We've completely gutted the inside," Zernickow said. "Everything's totally new – where medical office building and reception is. The facility is absolutely gorgeous."
The work included expanding the space at the former Ted's from 5,000 square feet to about 22,500 square feet, Zernickow said, including pouring a basement. The groundbreaking at the new location was in October 2011.
Kansas Gastroenterology has been at its current location since 2003, Zernickow said. It was established by Lievens and Estephan N. Zayat.
"We're on top of one another in current space we have. ... (The building) hasn't had a capital investment in 20 years or so, and it shows, whereas this is much more updated and the design and layout are more suited to what we need," Lievens said.
The new building, purchased by Lievens and Zayat, will also have two spaces available for lease that are each about 3,500 square feet. J.P. Weigand and Sons will handle the leases.
Hutton Construction and Spangenberg Phillips Tice Architects worked on the modifications to the building.
Both of Wichita's Ted's Montana Grill locations were closed in 2010, along with seven others across the country. The chain was started by media mogul Ted Turner in 2002.

Traditional food safety dating systems depend on the operator to calculate and hand-write or dial-in the correct expiration date, inherently creating safety risk and compliance issues. Using blank label sheets to print retail labels in-house involves significant administrative work to keep a stock of printed labels available for later use and generates waste. PC connected solutions require knowing how to operate specialized software and staff is forced to leave their work area to print labels.
FreshDate features a stand-alone label printer with integrated touchscreen and memory to store a database of food items. Easy to use and built for the harsh kitchen environment, it can be shelf, table or wall-mounted where all staff can use to print labels as-needed by simply touching a food item on the screen and number of labels to print. Comes with different label formats that print USE BY dates, Nutrition Facts, Ingredients, Allergens and more.
We are very excited to announce the release of our latest innovation to the FreshDate brand – FSS Inspector.

Shaping The Economic Future: 4 Big Ideas
Guest host Linda Wertheimer recaps the favorite "big ideas" of four high-profile economists, who raise questions about predicting crises, solving them and scanning brains for decision-making functions.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
Over the last month, WEEKEND EDITION has been talking to top economists about jobs, growth, debt and taxes. But we also ask them a broader question: What is the one big idea in economics that's really caught your attention lately?
NOURIEL ROUBINI: Ideally, I would like the economists to become boring again.
WERTHEIMER: Imagine wishing for boredom. Nouriel Roubini, Dr. Doom as he's known, told us that economists need to come up with new ways to predict market crashes, because the financial world is just too exciting these days.
Russ Roberts was also more worried about the next big disaster than the next big thing. He says one thing he has learned from this crisis, no more bailouts.
RUSS ROBERTS: It's been justified on economics grounds. I think those grounds are weak. It's not good for democracy to bail out large banks and to insulate them from risk. That's their job, taking risk.
WERTHEIMER: We also talked with Christina Romer, who helped engineer bailouts when she was an economic adviser to President Obama. Romer was most interested in using economics to help the poor.
CHRISTINA ROMER: The area of economics that I have been finding the most exciting in the last few years is development economics; trying to figure out how to help countries grow faster, how to help them raise standards of living as rapidly as possible.
WERTHEIMER: Greg Mankiw, who served as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush, offered a new idea about how economists gather information. He's interested in studying the brain itself, how that might help explain why we buy certain things and not others, or how we choose investments.
GREG MANKIW: I think it's really very exciting just to see some other social sciences and even natural sciences influence economic research. And some people are now doing work using brain scans as people are making economic decisions.
WERTHEIMER: From the top, we've heard from Nouriel Roubini, Russ Roberts, Christina Romer and Greg Mankiw going last, telling us what's next in economics.

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh (formerly the EAA Annual Convention and Fly-In) is an annual gathering of aviation enthusiasts held each summer at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States. The airshow is sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), an international organization based in Oshkosh, and is the largest of its kind in the U.S. The show lasts a week, usually beginning on the last Monday in July. During the gathering, the airport's control tower is the busiest in the world.[1]
EAA was founded in Milwaukee in 1953 by Paul Poberezny as an organization for builders and restorers of recreational aircraft.[2] Although homebuilding is still a large part of the organization's activities, it has grown to include almost every aspect of recreational aviation and aeronautics. The first EAA fly-in was held in September 1953 at what is now Timmerman Field as a small part of the Milwaukee Air Pageant. In 1959, the EAA fly-in grew too large for the Air Pageant and moved to Rockford, Illinois.[3] In 1970, when it outgrew its facilities at the Rockford airport, it moved to Oshkosh, Wisconsin.[4]
For many years the official name of the event was The EAA Annual Convention and Fly-In. In 1998, the name was changed to AirVenture Oshkosh,[5] but many regular attendees still call it as The Oshkosh Airshow or just Oshkosh. For many years, access to the flight line was restricted to EAA members. In 1997, the fee structure for the show was changed allowing all visitors access to the entire grounds.[6] EAA AirVenture holds nearly 1,000 forums and workshops.[5]
It is estimated that between 10,000 and 15,000 aircraft visit Wittman Field each year during the fly-in. The EAA estimated attendance in 2013 at over 500,000, similar to 2012 attendance.[7] In 2006, the Oshkosh Northwestern reported that attendance was estimated at 625,000 by the EAA. However, the estimate is for total attendees each day, so one person attending 7 days would count as 7 attendees. The paper estimated that amounted to between 200,000 and 300,000 individual persons attending the event.[8] The large number of aircraft arrivals and departures during the fly-in week makes the Wittman Field FAA Control Tower the busiest in the world for that week in number of movements.[9] To accommodate the huge flow of aircraft around the airport and the nearby airspace, a special NOTAM is published each year, choreographing the normal and emergency procedures to follow. More than 4,000 volunteers contribute approximately 250,000 hours before, during and after the event.[10]
The EAA AirVenture fly-in has a large economic impact to the Oshkosh area as well as the state of Wisconsin. In 1982, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that the fly-in had a large economic benefit to the Fox Valley region. At the time EAA estimated the benefit to be around $30 million ($73.3 million in today's terms) and the Oshkosh Convention and Tourism bureau estimated it to be lower, at $21 million ($51.3 million today).[11] In 1989, the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce said that Winnebago county had a $47 million benefit from the fly in. Additionally, a 1987 UW-Oshkosh study reported a $65 million ($135 million in today's dollars) benefit to the entire state of Wisconsin.[12]
In 2008, a UW-Oshkosh Center for Community Partnerships study showed a $110 million economic impact for the Oshkosh area. Of that, $84 million was direct impact with a $26 million multiplier from secondary spending. Additionally, the fly in provided 1,700 jobs and $39 million in labor income for Winnebago, Outagamie and Fond du Lac counties.[13]
In 1961, The Rockford EAA airshow had 10,000 aircraft movements.[14] In 1971, the EAA airshow at Oshkosh brought in 600 planes and 31,653 movements.[15] Today AirVenture brings in more than 10,000 airplanes. Special air traffic procedures are used to ensure safe, coordinated operations. For example, in 2014 the Special Flight Procedures NOTAM was 32 pages long.[16]
FAA air traffic staff, including controllers, supervisors, and managers, compete throughout the FAA's 17-state Central Terminal Service Area to work the event. In 2008, 172 air traffic professionals representing 56 facilities volunteered to staff the facilities at Oshkosh (OSH), Fond du Lac (FLD), and Fisk. They wear bright pink shirts to stand out in the crowd.[17][18]
Due to the Budget sequestration in 2013, the Federal Aviation Administration announced that it was not able to send resources to support the AirVenture. Rather than cancelling the event, the Experimental Aircraft Association was forced to sign a $447,000 contract to repay the government for FAA resources during the AirVenture.[19] EAA filed a petition in Federal court arguing that the FAA could not withhold services without specific Congressional action. However, in March 2014 EAA signed a settlement agreement agreeing to pay the 2013 costs and a further agreement that guaranteed FAA participation for another nine years. The agreement required the association to reimburse the government for AirVenture specific costs that had been provided at government expense in the years prior to 2013.[20]
Several days prior to the event, members of the FAA's Technical Operation team from around the Central Service Area arrive in Oshkosh to set up the temporary communication facilities (mobile communication platforms, FISK VFR Approach Control and Fond du Lac (FLD) tower). These technicians maintain the facilities during the event and tear down and store the equipment after AirVenture ends.[citation needed]
EAA AirVenture relies heavily on volunteers,[21][22] who arrive in the weeks leading up to the air show. The tasks they perform range from parking cars and airplanes, to painting buildings, to helping set up and tear down concerts and shows presented by the EAA. Long-time volunteers receive free meals, tee-shirts, embroidered patches, and free admission into the EAA AirVenture event.[23]
