Chris Paul is a happy Hornet ... for now
Updated: October 5, 2010, 5:49 PM ETBy Marc Stein | ESPN.com
NEW ORLEANS -- As he soaked in his last afternoon of summer freedom, watching Saints-Falcons from his buddy Reggie Bush's Superdome suite, there was only one kind of commotion buzzing in Chris Paul's face.
That would be the whirlwind known as Paul's fast-moving toddler son.
The tempest surrounding Paul's future with the New Orleans Hornets has calmed considerably over the past two months. Which means that taking questions while 16-month-old Chris II paws at his nose is about ...

Students partner with local organizations to exhibit their work
For decades, students in CIA's design majors have been serving internships with manufacturers and design consultancies, and, in the process, making helpful contacts and gaining valuable professional experience before graduation.
With notable exceptions, students pursuing visual arts generally have not had access to comparable internship experiences. Until now.
Thanks to a grant from the Fenn Educational Fund of the Cleveland Foundation, and some smart thinking by faculty and staff members, CIA this year facilitated Creativity Works, a program of self-initiated internship experiences for students looking forward to careers as visual artists.
The result: five juniors lined up community organizations as internship hosts, wrote...continue reading

BATON ROUGE LSU players were obviously prepped on how to answer questions during a shortened period for media interviews Monday. And that was to be expected.
Part of the job, senior cornerback Chevis Jackson said with a laugh. But theres more going on here than that. We have to remain focused.
Since Michigan opened the season with losses to Division I-AA Appalachian State and Oregon, there have been rumors circulating about Les Miles future at LSU. That took on a new level of interest after an embattled Lloyd Carr announced his retirement as Michigans coach on Monday morning.
An interesting piece of timing placed that press conference in Ann Arbor just hours before Miles weekly media luncheon, which at times dripped with emotion.
Now the countrys top-ranked team has a distraction that will not go away until a decision on Michigans new coach is made. There was little interest by media on the must-win game Friday afternoon against Arkansas for the Tigers.
This day was about the Miles-to-Michigan fever thats gripped South Louisiana.
What we as seniors did was sit down and remind everyone of the goals we set in camp and want to achieve, said record-setting junior kicker Colt David. Theyre all still there, so to lose focus on something we cant control cant happen. That will ruin everything.
If Miles leaves for Michigan, this would be the second coaching change experienced by seniors on this team. Each of those players were recruited by Nick Saban, who left in 2004 for the Miami Dolphins.
That experience, senior linebacker Luke Sanders said, was a good one in respect to the current situation Miles who said he has not been contacted by Michigan finds himself.
I was recruited here by coach Saban, and then the next year hes gone, the West Monroe native said. It just puts you in more of a mindset of building relationships with players, because those are the relationships you know youll be able to count on every year youre part of this program.
Its just something I dont focus on, because you cant control it. Youve just got to be man enough to say the game is the biggest thing and move on. Thats what were doing.
Sophomore running back Keiland Williams said there really is little surprise in Michigan being interested in a coach thats won 32 of 37 games at LSU.
This isnt the first time something like this has happened, Williams said. When you are one of the countrys most successful programs, and you have one of the countrys most successful coaches, teams that have an opening for a coach are going to call and make an offer.
Michigan is a very prestigious university, and we all know of Coach Miles past ties to that school. The reality is that coaches have to do whats best for their families this is a business. You cant fault anyone for that.
None of the players made available discounted the fact that Miles may leave. But they also shared a singular voice that theyll support any decision made by their coach after winning a national championship.
Coach Miles is like a father away from home for us were like his kids, Jackson said. And we have a goal set that I think were going to get done together. What happens, happens, but I dont think anything will keep him
from getting us to where we want to go, honestly.
We knew after coach Carr this morning, that we would be asked these questions, Williams said. But look at it were eight quarters away from the national championship game. I know everyone wants this to be a distraction, but were not going to let that happen. And, to be honest, coach Miles isnt going to let that happen, either.
Hes with us and hes going to get us there. What happens after that, well deal with.

Loud barks could be heard yards away as 673d Security Forces Squadron dog handlers prepared their assigned dogs for standard dog training at the Eagleglen golf course on JBER.
The snow is melting. The sun is shining overhead, instead of way off on the Southern horizon. Temperatures are getting warmer, and days longer. Birds are chirping cheerful tunes. I hear rumors that the bears might be wakening from hibernation. Spring is on its way. This is the time of year proper housewives begin the feared Spring Cleaning.
For Army Staff Sergeant Justin Grimm, getting shot at is all in a day's work. "When you sign up for a job that you're going to fight in and you deploy enough, you get the sense that it's going to happen sooner or later," said Grimm, a member of the 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division.
On June 1, 2012 Sgt. Maj. Michael Van Engen had just finished eating lunch in the mess hall at Forward Operating Base Salerno in Southern Afghanistan when all hell broke loose.
When we found out we were moving to Alaska, I started making a list of all the things I wanted to do in the last frontier. Some things on the list were easily conquered on the drive to Anchorage. Not long after getting off the boat in Haines, we saw bald eagles in numbers never seen in the Lower 48. We may have passed other glaciers without knowing they were there, but I was able to cross off "seeing my first glacier" as we drove past Matanuska. The list grew after our arrival as I learned about all Alaska has to offer. Just the drive from Palmer into Anchorage gave inspiration, with signs pointing out Mirror Lake and Thunderbird Falls.
What's it take to be a military wife? Just ask Meghan Wieten-Scott. Military Spouse magazine recently named Wieten-Scott as Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson's Military Spouse of the Year. She's also in the running for the overall Army Spouse of the Year. That winner will be announced today (Thursday, Feb. 21).
I always wanted to come to Alaska. I will admit to pushing my husband to put Alaska high on his wish list. I didn't know much about the frontier state. But I did know that almost everyone I talked to who was stationed in Alaska loved it. The one exception was my father, who isn't a big fan of snow. Driving to Alaska, on my way to live here for at least three years, I was quite ignorant to what life here would be like.
A 25-year-old Palmer man is facing federal charges after he allegedly crashed his pick-up truck through the Boniface gate of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson around midnight Jan. 19.
Well before dawn on the morning of Jan. 31, more than 200 members of the Army's 1st Battalion (Airborne), 501st Infantry Regiment arrived under cover of darkness at the foot of Arctic Valley Road. Carrying 35-pound rucksacks and decked out in their camouflage combat uniforms, the men briefly listened to instructions from their platoon leaders before springing into action.
Ten days ago, Technical Sgt. Brian Stiles marched down Pennsylvania Avenue to celebrate the swearing in of President Barack Obama in front of thousands of spectators as a member of the 2013 Inaugural Parade in Washington, D.C.

The European Central Bank won't be able to unwind its expansive monetary policy without the support of the region's governments, said Joerg Kraemer, chief economist at Commerzbank AG.
Spain's turn toward wage cuts to restore competitiveness without leaving the euro is starting to bear fruit. At least that's how it seems for Pablo Garcia, a 34- year-old autoworker who just got hired after a year out of work.
Euro-area services and manufacturing output shrank for a 15th straight month in April and retail sales fell in March as the 17-nation economy struggled to emerge from recession.
When Jean-Claude Trichet retires on Oct. 31, the euro area may lose more than just a European Central Bank president.
German growth slowed less than forecast in the third quarter and the French economy unexpectedly expanded.
German economic figures show the uphill struggle Peer Steinbrueck faces to unseat Chancellor Angela Merkel in Sept. 22 elections.
Euro-area data this week will probably reveal economic scars of the sovereign debt crisis confirming that the region is now suffering the longest recession since the single currency's creation.
Six months after Bundesbank President Axel Weber opposed the European Central Bank's decision to start buying government bonds, the risks he warned about may be materializing.
"The latest numbers from the industrial sector are very worrisome."

DMX Files for Bankruptcy
The "Party Up" rapper owes $1 to $10 million in debt with only $50,000 in assets.
It's been a tough month for DMX.
On July 29, the rapper filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Manhattan. According to the Wall Street Journal, the 42-year old, born Earl Simmons, owes $1 to $10 million in debt with only $50,000 in assets. This debt includes $1.24 million owed in child support and $21,000 on an auto lease.
News of DMX's bankruptcy comes just days after his arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence and driving without a license in South Carolina. Simmons was released after passing a breathalyzer test and posting $1,235 in bail.
PHOTOS: Justin Timberlake and Jay Z at the Rose Bowl
Today, DMX's publicist released a statement regarding the bankruptcy, saying that the situation will ultimately benefit the rapper and allow him to regain a passport to perform overseas again. Below is the full statement:
"DMX's financial strains have been inhibiting his career for several years. Poor financial management by prior representation has caused him to be ineligible to retain a passport. The purpose of this bankruptcy filing is for reorganization so he can perform for his fans oversees. We are currently planning a tour in Europe and Africa for the fall of 2013."
DMX has been musically dormant over the last few years until his release of Undisputed (2012), which was paired with a handful of gigs and a spot on the Rock the Bells tour.

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - "Our hearts are restless, until they find their rest in you". This Sunday's feast of the Epiphany reminds us to reflect on these memorable words of Saint Augustine.
All human beings will find meaning in life by being open to God. The Three Kings, whose coming we celebrate today, were not Jewish; they came from the Orient. Some scholars believe that they began their travels together from Persia, while others believe that they came from three different regions of the Orient, one of them perhaps being China.
Obviously, the Magi were not part of the chosen people. They were not Jews. Instead they formed part of the vast populace extending throughout the known world at that time, designated by the Jews as pagans, or gentiles.
The Three Kings of this Sunday's gospel narrative, their lives incomplete, unsatisfied despite their wealth, fame and power, came in search of the only one who can satisfy the deepest aspirations of the human heart. They longed to find the very meaning of their existence.
After a long and difficult search, they discovered the place where he lay. They encountered the one who had come to redeem mankind and fulfill our intense longings. Knowing him for who he is, the Messiah, the Magi have brought him the most appropriate gifts: gold for a king, frankincense for a priest, and myrrh for a victim. They recognize that he is Jesus the Christ, the only one through whom salvation can be found.
Because the Three Kings were open, they were given the gift of faith. Through this gift they searched, they found, and they believed. Actually, the word epiphany is from the Greek which means manifestation. Jesus the Messiah reveals his divinity to the Three Kings.
Certainly today, three of the most blinding obstacles we encounter in the search for meaning and truth are secularism, relativism and pride.
Secularism only concerns itself with the here and now. It has no use for matters regarding the existence of God, the immortality of soul, or the eternal destiny of man
The secularist passionately seeks human progress without any reference to the spiritual dimension of the human person. The secularist is only concerned with this life and has no concern with religion. In fact, the secularist attempts to experience human satisfaction through involvement in seemingly noble enterprises that are in essence missing the total picture of man's true needs.
Secularism keeps us from searching for God; it keeps us from finding true meaning in life. Historically, the Catholic Church has never had to deal with secularism until the arrival of our modern age. Secularism and paganism are very different indeed.
The pagan believes in the transcendent. The pagan has an understanding that there is an afterlife and that the soul is immortal. The pagan also lives by a moral code that has its roots in divine law. In contrast, for the secularist, there is no God, no eternal life, and morality is arbitrarily contrived without any reference to God.
The mission of the Church in the secularist world is very difficult indeed simply because the pagan is much more open to truth and can be easily converted, whereas the secularist is usually as hard as a rock. Sometimes the secularist opens up to the true meaning of life through some terrible tragedy such as a dreadful sickness or even death itself. However, many times the secularist is so closed off to the transcendent that no movement toward God is even possible.
Catholics need to be aware of secularism and not allow it to affect their lives. However, many Catholics have been poisoned by this pervasive system of thought.
It is unfortunate that often even in our liturgies, the transcendent has been replaced with the secular. Many times liturgical practices, music and architecture no longer mirror the transcendent, but rather, they have been reduced to the common and ordinary. Our liturgical life has become either a weekly boring exercise which has caused many Catholics to leave, or it has been converted into weekly pep-rallies. Pope Benedict has recognized a need for the sacred to be discovered in the reformed liturgy of the Second Vatican Council. This of course can be achieved, if we were to simply celebrate the Mass the way it is prescribed in the liturgical texts.
Regarding relativism, first we must understand that it differs from secularism. The relativist often believes in God, an afterlife, and the immortality of the soul. However, the relativist believes that the human person is the measure of truth. What is true and what is not true is subject to mere human opinion.
Catholics need to be aware of relativism as well, and not allow it to affect their lives. However, it is also true that like secularism, many Catholics have been also poisoned by relativism. The crisis that relativism has caused has particularly affected the way Catholics understand the moral teachings of the Church. Topics such as abortion, contraception, embryonic stem-cell research and homosexuality have become areas not only of controversy for some Catholics, but according to the news polls, most American Catholics openly defy and criticize the teachings of the Catholic Church on these basic aspects of moral teaching. This is where the sin of pride comes in.
Pride is a terrible sin. Pride says: non serviam; I will not serve; do not tell me what to do. When a Catholic rejects certain aspects of Church teaching, a decision of the will has been made. For example, it is very common today in America, that Catholics use contraception and do not attend Mass on Sundays. It is very common that these same people do not go to confession or even mention these sins within the Sacrament of Confession. It is also very common that these same people continue to receive Holy Communion.
Within this dynamic, which is very common today, what happens is the following: a decision to disobey is made. The person continues to sin and continues to receive the Eucharist unworthily. Eventually, that person's heart becomes hardened by sin and the person is no longer open to God. The soul then dies and the person becomes like the walking dead.
And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother" (Matthew 2: 10-11).
The journey of the Magi reminds us where the solution for secularism, relativism and pride may be found: the solution is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
One way that we can easily free ourselves from the errors of our time is to engage upon a serious study of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Catechism is one of the greatest legacies of John Paul II's pontificate. Informing our mind and conscience with the truth of the Catholic Church will free us from unfounded opinions and will allow us to be more fully integrated with our Catholic faith. True freedom can only be found in the truth.

Product description
Between 285 AD, when Byzantium first separated from the Western Roman Empire, and 1461, when the last Byzantine splinter state disappeared, the Byzantine state and society underwent many crises, triumphs, declines, and recoveries. Spanning twelve centuries and three continents, the Byzantine empire linked the ancient and modern worlds, shaping and transmitting Greek, Roman, and Christian traditions--including the Greek classics, Roman law, and Christian theology--that remain vigorous today, not only in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, but throughout western civilization. This book examines the causes behind Byzantium's successes, failures, and remarkable longevity. The author explains the paradoxes of Byzantium's long history by showing how Byzantine political leadership, military strategy, cultural attitudes, and social, institutional, and demographic changes combined with the strengths and weaknesses of the empire's enemies. Both a history and an adventure story, "A Concise History of Byzantium" will inform, entertain, and delight readers.

It is possible that MH370 was a 9/11-type plot, in which the target was the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur? Until recently, they were the tallest buildings in the world. You can see why terrorists would find them a tantalizing target
Forty ships, 34 aircraft scouring 'an extremely large area' locate reported life raft but it proves to be a moss-covered cable
As names emerged, so did more photographs of those feared dead. Among the most poignant stories was that of two young sweethearts, who had enrolled in french school

... They´ve infiltrated all areas of the comicbook world. Look at this and tell me if it makes any sense.
So I´m looking at this site where you are suppossed to get the official stats on all the Superheroes. This is supposed to be pretty much official, the go to place for finding out any superheroes power stats.
Now get this, I look at Wonder Womans power stats, she´s put at class 14, which is fine. However her combat skills are not at 100%, which again I´m ok with. So out of curiosity I looked at Superman. Now his combat skills, not strength, but combat skills are put higher than Diana. Immediately I was like ok this site has lost all credibility, but then I thought ok, maybe I´m being a bit to fanboyish, since Superman is so powerful it must be that they mean he´s so strong that his combat level is just a product of said strength, he´s put at a class 17. So, to check out if I was right, I flip to Batman, thinking OK his combat skills will be lower than both of these guys. Like at half bar, but to my surprise Batman´s combat skills were at a 100%, thats right higher than Supermans. Then I have a look at his overall superpower rating, he´s a class 9. Immediately I thought OK that seems quite high but at least overall he´s lower than Supes and Wonder Woman. But I decided to give the site one last chance to prove some objectivity, so I flipped over to the single most powerful superhero in the DC universe, and you can argue this if you want, but he is, I had a look at the Flash, and guess what his overall level was; thats right 6.
I really had to take second, then I just laughed my arse off. So, and this is according to the site where all comic nerds resolve their disputes, according to this site, Superman is a better trained fighter than Diana, and, Batman is more powerful than the Flash, no wonder so many comic fans have lost touch with reality.
I guess Batmans more powerful than The Flash cause he´s BATMAN (Growly Voice)

This is a very nice, warm place wih frendly owners. We had a room with a nice view for the Castle and had some pleasnt walking in the area, speciali the Govenor palace. The smart car rent was very handy to get around.
Review collected in partnership with this hotel
We stayed at The Craigmyle Guesthouse in Victoria, BC in May of 2015. The host was very nice and extremely accommodating, despite our short notice and he being distracted with renovations. The gracious older home was located in an area that was quiet, safe, close to the heart of town, walking distance to the Victoria Art Gallery and delightful for...
The location is beautiful, the host are really friendly and helpful. Some rooms are very small but there are suits that looked really nice. The decor is nice, you feel like you're back in time and the castle at the back is a must see.
The Craigmyle is an excellent B&B located next to the Craigdarroch Castle. It is an easy walk to downtown and the bus transport is quick and easy. The rooms are modern but have retained their olde world charm.
Such a welcoming atmosphere at the Craigmyle. Very peaceful and clean. The breakfast was amazing, and the owners were very helpful navigating us around Victoria. We stayed with our teen aged kids, and found many running trails, parks, and sites to explore around the area. This was such a personal and unique experience, and would recommend this over a hotel...
At the Craigmyle, you can always expect attention to the little details that make for a great experience. From gluten free bread that is edible to a spotless room to guests who make good conversation, all is most pleasant and welcoming.
It's a nice, quiet B&B a few blocks away from the city center and harbour. Has the charm and character of an older home paired with tastefully updated rooms. Nice continental breakfast assortment too.
We had room 202, which is, well, cosy. There are French hints in the décor, and indeed if you've stayed at a midrange hotel in Paris you probably had a room like that. It is the smallest room in the place, so don't let this review throw you. There's no TV, no clock, and two power outlets - one shared...
I stayed in the small mini-suite, which was the only room available when I booked this B&B. It was clean but a bit cramped and I would have preferred a larger room. I was woken every morning around 5:30 am by footsteps from the upper floor, which is the living room/dining room area and also heard noise from the neighbouring...
We stayed in 106, another guest commented it was the magical suite, and it truly was.
Spacious and very comfortable,we loved the sitting area.
A great view of the Castle.
Tasty breakfast to fuel us for our bike hike back to Swartz Bay...
Would like a bed and breakfast in Victoria, Vancouver Island that has handicap bathrooms and is on first floor. Also, near the ocean.

How do you escape an alternate timeline?
Is it at all possible?
I'm thinking of poor Old Spock stuck in the JJ verse. Is there any way he could ever return to his own time? He can't go to the future because it'll be the future of the JJ verse. But if he goes back to the past, before Nero arrived and then he time traveled again into the future what future would he arrive at????

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
At 15 Omar went to Guantanamo. Here's his story
Gregg Carlstrom | 18 Oct 2011 08:04 GMT | Politics, Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia
Fighters from Al-Shabab will attack Kenya unless it withdraws its troops from Somalia, a spokesman for the group has warned. Analysts say the group will try to follow through on its threat.
Hundreds of Kenyan troops entered Somalia on Sunday, backed by helicopters and tanks; officials in Somalia also said that jets had bombed al-Shabab camps, though Nairobi would not confirm the jets were theirs.
The troops are reportedly advancing towards Afmadow, a town about 120km east of the border. Kenya's government says they have been ordered to attack al-Shabab bases in southern Somalia. The group has been linked to several recent kidnappings in Kenya.
Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage, a spokesman for Al-Shabab, told Kenya to withdraw its troops.
"Kenyan troops have entered 100 kilometres into Somalia and their planes bombarded many places and killed residents," Rage was quoted by the Reuters news agency on Monday. "We shall come into Kenya if you do not go back."
His claims about the Kenyan offensive could not be independently verified, and Kenya's defence ministry did not respond to a request for comment. Somalia's transitional government has endorsed the raid: Nur Ahmed, the Somali ambassador in Nairobi, said Kenya "has a right to defend its people."
'The restraint would be gone'
Al-Shabab has attacked Kenya's neighbours before - it killed more than 70 people in twin bombings last year in Kampala, the Ugandan capital - but the group has been reluctant to attack Kenya, despite repeated threats, because it feared reprisals from the Kenyan army.
But with that army already inside Somalia, analysts say al-Shabab might be more likely to carry out an attack inside Kenya's borders.
"Shabab was fearful that it would trigger a robust Kenyan response," EJ Hogendoorn, an analyst at the Brussels-based International Crisis Group, said. "If in fact you've already triggered that response, then to some degree the restraint on Shabab would be gone."
Sunday's Kenyan raid is largely a response to a recent spate of kidnappings in the country's coastal regions and along the border with Somalia.
Two Spanish aid workers were kidnapped last week, and their driver was wounded, in an attack on Ifo refugee camp in Dadaab, which houses tens of thousands of Somali refugees. Earlier this month, a French woman was kidnapped from her home in Manda, on Kenya's northern coast.
And last month, a British tourist was kidnapped from the resort of Kiwayu; her husband was shot dead.
"This is affecting their tourist industry and the security of international staff working for various aid agencies," Hogendoorn said. "If this affects regions along the coast, it's an enormous hit on their economy."
An Ethiopian parallel?
This is hardly the first Kenyan incursion into Somalia: Troops have pursued al-Shabab fighters across the border before. But those raids are usually brief and involve limited numbers of troops.
Sunday's incursion, on the other hand, was much larger, and it was announced in advance: George Saitoti, Kenya's interior security minister, held a press conference on Saturday and promised Kenyan forces would attack al-Shabab "wherever they will be."
Roger Middleton, a regional analyst at Chatham House, drew a parallel between the Kenyan incursion and Ethiopia's 2006 invasion of Somalia.
"It's a substantial and longer-lasting intervention, and if that's the case, the first thing that springs to mind is, Ethiopia tried this and it did not turn out too well," Middleton said.
The Ethiopian invasion, and the years-long occupation that followed, is widely credited with strengthening al-Shabab, which was able to portray itself as a resistance movement fighting an occupying power.
And the group is already attempting to frame the Kenyan incursion in the same way: A radio station controlled by al-Shabab asked Somalis if they were ready to "live under Christians" and urged them to fight.
"Get out of your homes and defend your dignity and religion. Today is the day to defend against the enemy," an al-Shabab official said in the radio broadcast, according to the AFP news agency.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- With the game on the line, the San Antonio
Spurs turned to -- who else? -- Tim Duncan.
Duncan scored a season-high 34 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to
lead the Spurs to their fifth straight victory, 88-80 over the
Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night.
"It's almost like you take it for granted like David
(Robinson's) games used to be," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
"He just played a great all-around game. He really put it on his
shoulders, showed some great leadership and brought his team
Allen Iverson scored 24, Kyle Korver had 17 and Corliss
Williamson added 15 for the Sixers, who set a dubious team record
by scoring just 6 points in the first quarter.
Rasho Nesterovic had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Manu Ginobili
scored 17 for San Antonio, which had lost four in a row in
Philadelphia since winning on Nov. 22, 1999. The Spurs improved to
7-1, their best start since the 1991-92 season.
"It was a great game for us," Duncan said. "We played pretty
good defense. They missed some shots and we gave ourselves a lead
there. They did a hell of a job coming back, but we fought straight
The Sixers, who trailed by 14 in the first half, took their
first lead, 55-53, on a 3-pointer by Korver with 3:14 left in the
third. Philadelphia held the lead until the Spurs went on a 10-0
run early in the fourth quarter.
A 14-footer by Duncan gave San Antonio a 64-62 lead it never
relinquished. Ginobili's 3-pointer made it 67-62, and the Spurs
held on down the stretch.
A three-point play by Iverson cut it to 82-78 with 1:36 left,
but Duncan answered with a running, one-handed jumper from the
"We didn't knock down shots available to us," Sixers coach Jim
O'Brien said. "They did what they had to do in the fourth quarter.
They're a potential world champion."
Philadelphia finished its five-game homestand with two
consecutive losses after winning the first three games.
Iverson left in the final minute after injuring his right elbow
running into a broadcast table. X-rays were negative.
Spurs point guard Tony Parker was scoreless in 32 minutes,
missing two shots and two free throws. He had eight rebounds and
six assists, and held Iverson to 8-for-24 shooting.
"I didn't have that many opportunities," Parker said. "I just
tried to run the game, move the ball and get it inside."
The Sixers missed their first 16 shots before Korver made a
short jumper with 4:30 left in the first quarter. Iverson missed
five shots during the 7½-minute scoreless stretch, and Andre
Iguodala missed a dunk.
Philadelphia finished the quarter 3-for-25 and trailed 20-6.
"It was hard to watch," Korver said. "They were good shots,
but the ball didn't want to go in the basket for some reason."
The Sixers outscored San Antonio 23-10 to start the second
quarter, closing to 30-29 on a jumper by Iverson. The Spurs
finished the quarter on a 10-4 run to take a 40-33 halftime lead.
Game notes
The Sixers' previous low for any quarter was 9 points
against Boston last March 28. ... The Sixers didn't allow 50 points
in the first half for just the second time in nine games. ... The
Spurs had won their first six games by an average of 14.5 points.
... Spurs F Malik Rose, a Philadelphia native who went to Drexel,
had 2 points in 12 minutes. He missed an open layup in the third
quarter. ... Iverson has at least one steal in 29 straight games,
dating to last season.

Review: The place is on higher floor with excellent view on the roof tops. The interior modern and new (it had been opened for few months). Second floor of the restaurant has children area and cozy tool bags. The place has very good dinner atmosphere. I was there with my family. We had hummus as we usually do. It was mild and not salty as they sometimes could be. My wife liked tomato pasta very much. I had mushrooms pasta and that was very good, too. We also had king salad and that had a lot of dressing and just the way we like it. Kids had pancakes and they asked for more. The portions was with right size, they just liked it so much. We had chocolate cheesecake and that was perfect ending to our dinner. They offered organic beer and I like that a lot. Small nice thing was that they had "what is what" section in the menu explaining some of the food names or terms. The staff talked English. They didn't accepted credit card.
