From the Associated Press:
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Kelenna Azubuike will return to the Golden State Warriors after the club matched the Los Angeles Clippers' three-year, $9 million contract offer for the shooting guard on Thursday.
Azubuike averaged 8.1 points and 4.0 rebounds in 81 games last season with the Warriors, who signed the former Kentucky guard out of the NBA Developmental League in January 2007. He started 17 games for Golden State, and he should see more playing time next season after Baron Davis' departure for the Clippers, Mickael Pietrus' signing with Orlando and Monta Ellis' expected move to point guard."We are pleased to have Kelenna back in the fold," said Chris Mullin, the Warriors' top basketball executive. "He's a young and talented player who has continued to improve during his two seasons with our team. His versatility, athleticism and ability to shoot the 3-pointer certainly fit our style of play."
Mo Evans, anyone?

Three suspects have been arrested and booked on multiple charges in connection with a violent kidnapping and robbery that began in Helper early Sunday morning.
Helper Police Chief Trent Anderson said that the investigation so far indicates that the kidnapping took place shortly before 1 a.m.
Two men and one woman showed up at the home of the victim, who apparently knew the young woman, 21-year-old Hannah Downard of Price.
Anderson identified the male suspects as 24-year-old Monty Emmons Jr. and Justin Marrs, 22.
They lured the victim into their car, then the men allegedly held him at gunpoint and tied him up.
The trio then took him to what Anderson called "a remote place in the county," where the men beat him, took his clothes, shoes, credit and debit cards and keys. They also forced him to reveal his personal identification number for his cards.
They then abandoned him in the wilderness and headed back to Helper. The victim was able to walk out to safety.
The suspects then allegedly used the victim's key to steal his car.
The suspects are also accused of withdrawing money from his bank account, using the stolen card in an ATM.
When police learned of the stolen car, they were able to put the description and plate number on the National Crime Information Computer.
The car, with Marrs and an apparently uninvolved female inside, was discovered by Moapa Tribal Police on the reservation near Las Vegas.
Marrs was being held in the Clark County Detention Center as of Tuesday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Sandy City police were able to nab Emmons Jr. and hold him.
The Carbon County Jail report shows Emmons Jr. was booked on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, theft by extortion, felony theft, possession of a deadly weapon with intent to assault, financial card offense (use), financial card offense (possession), threatening with or using a dangerous weapon in a fight or quarrel, aggravated assault, and arrange or distribute a controlled substance.
The charges against Downard were aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery and theft by extortion.
Chief Anderson gave credit to the "solid police work" and cooperation among the police departments of Helper, Price and Sandy, Moapa Tribal Police and Carbon County Sheriff's Department.

Welcome to Chamberlain College of Nursing! Founded in 1889 to address a lack of healthcare services in St. Louis, Chamberlain continues to honor that legacy by increasing access to nursing education nationwide in order to meet the healthcare needs of communities across the country and around the world.
Whether we are confronting the impending national nursing shortage*, answering the Institute of Medicine's call to increase nursing education levels**, preparing nurses to fill new roles and key leadership positions to address the Affordable Care Act or providing care to impoverished communities around the world through our International Nursing Service Projects, what distinguishes Chamberlain is care – Chamberlain Care. Care for our students, healthcare partners, patients and the community at large.
Through Chamberlain Care and the ideals it embodies, we model and teach our students the values that are exemplified by extraordinary nurses – caring, professionalism, excellence, integrity and service. We believe that by taking extraordinary care of our students, we will graduate extraordinary nurses who will have a significant positive impact on healthcare worldwide.
Chamberlain undergraduate and graduate alumni are already making a difference in healthcare delivery in their communities and around the world. Consider that the average nurse will have 10 unique patients touches each day and work an average of 30 years. Over the next 30 years, the more than 23,000 current Chamberlain students and 21,000*** current alumni will have over 3 billion patient touches†. And we continue to grow exponentially. That means we have a significant responsibility to prepare extraordinary nurses who are ready for tomorrow's healthcare challenges. We take that responsibility very seriously.
Extraordinary Care. Extraordinary Nurses.

Few designers will ever satisfy our fashion palates like the British luxury fashion house, Burberry Prorsum. From thirties-inspired apparel (F/W 04) to Princess Margaret-influenced garments (S/S 06) to medal-embellished modern warrior (S/S 08), the renowned brand is consistently serving up dynamite collections. In fact, the world's leading tastemakers classify Burberry as a must-watch fashion show each season. Considering this, plus the fact that your WWW editors are involved in a not-so-secret love affair with the brand, we set out to conceive a mock-up outfit equivalent to those brought about by Burberry. We can't wait to share the results with you, dear readers, so read on and take notes!
The man responsible for making our hearts race each time we stroll by the newly revamped Burberry boutique on Wilshire, Christopher Bailey, transcended our previous expectations with his fall offerings. After contemplating paintings done by the English artist, L.S. Lowry, Bailey was inspired to infuse his collection with a sense of nostalgia and romance. He accomplished this quite nicely through all of his muted color creations (quite the contrary of last spring's mix palette of neutral and bold brights) in varying proportions. In fact, we are so enraptured with Bailey's harvest that we want to sing praises over every last piece, but for now, we'll spotlight the Tiered Trench Coats ($4,500), the Geometric Gem Necklaces ($1995), and the Winter Wool Trousers ($900). Sadly, these items are a little, how shall we say this, fiscally ambitious, so we propose everyone engage in a Burberry-inspired game of dress up, instead!-Jessica Amento
1. ASOS Elongated Multi Spike Drop Bracelet ($23)
Chief among the elite accessories we are coveting this fall are the mystical Spiked Necklaces ($1190) and Bangles ($943) that the Burberry runway models were decked out in. Add a similar element of wicked cool to your outfits with this multi-pronged gun metal bracelet.
2. Urban Outfitters' Solid Convertible Glove ($16)
The Knit Fingerless Gloves ($230) in Burberry's fall show left such a positive impression on us that we are officially taking them out of the time out corner! We are charmed by these superb, inexpensive forest green knock-offs. You can even transform them to mittens when your fingers get too cold!
3. French Connection Metallic Maze Dress ($218)
With so many eye-catching accessories and luxe outerwear options in Burberry's fall collection, Bailey was wise to keep his foundation dresses very straightforward. This timeless empire waist frock is a perfect base and begs for additional Burberry elements.
4. Club Monaco Big Bella Clutch ($169)
Should you choose to live on a Top Ramen diet over the next few weeks, you might be able to afford Burberry Prorsum's Medium Lowry Shoulder Bag ($2795) or Studded Plate Clutch ($795). However, the structure and pyramid embellishments of this Club Monaco creation qualify it as an eligible understudy to carry around instead.
5. Report Signature Bleeker Mary Jane Pump($195)
The pin-tucking on these shoes pleasantly reminds us of the ruched and crossed straps on Burberry Prorsum's Patent Heels ($547). You will be hard-pressed to find an outfit that doesn't match them and they are a refreshing change from your basic black pumps.
6. Ann Taylor Grey Deco Bib Necklace ($59)
We are officially anointing Bailey king of the statement necklaces this season! Not only did he yield spiky necklaces that are downright badass, but he left us in extra awe with these jeweled adornments.
7. Topshop Black Lurex Rib Tights ($19)
Fashion is in the details, so be sure to complete any Burberry-influenced ensemble by slipping into these tights! Their metallic accents insinuate to the hints of luster seen in nearly every outfit worn by the Burberry models.
8. Delia's Ainsley Coat ($90)
When we saw the pleated bottom on this otherwise classic peacoat, we had an eureka moment! It completely encompasses the feel of Bailey's double-breasted outerwear designs and the price is right!

CANTON A Massena mans fate was left in the hands of a chemical dependency evaluation after he failed to complete the terms of his interim probation Monday morning in St. Lawrence County Court.
County Judge Jerome J. Richards has again adjourned the sentencing of Timothy A. Wilson, 42, of 50 George St., after his attorney, St. Lawrence County Public Defender Stephen D. Button, said Mr. Wilson had suffered from relapses and is in need of treatment.
On Aug. 30, Mr. Wilson appeared before Judge Richards after being arrested on a warrant for multiple failures to comply with probation conditions, including testing positive for cocaine and marijuana and attending an event at the Massena Rod & Gun Club, where there is a bar that serves alcohol. As a part of his probation sentence, he was not to enter establishments that serve alcohol.
Mr. Button told Judge Richards that Mr. Wilson continued to refrain from consuming alcohol.
Mr. Wilson is someone with a problem and is someone looking to remedy his problem, Mr. Button said, adding that Mr. Wilson had even taken the initiative to set up an appointment to be evaluated for chemical dependency.
I just want to be given a chance, Mr. Wilson told the judge. I promise you, sir, you will never see my name or face in this court again.
Judge Richards said that probation suggested prison, something he said he didnt disagree with at this stage in the game. However, he gave Mr. Wilson two options for his April 30, 2012, guilty plea to a class D felony driving while intoxicated charge: either adjourn his sentencing and go back to jail to await an evaluation or be sentenced immediately to 1� to 4� years in state prison.
Even with Mr. Wilsons choice to adjourn the sentencing in anticipation of an evaluation, jail time is still an option, Judge Richards said.
If the results of the evaluation suggest Mr. Wilson be entered into inpatient treatment, he will be given the option to complete treatment successfully and earn another year of interim probation and a reduced charge of a class E felony. If he is unsuccessful, he will be sentenced to 2�/� to seven years in state prison.
Additionally, if Mr. Wilson is advised to participate in outpatient treatment after his evaluation, he still will face 1� to 4� years in prison.
He was sent to St. Lawrence County jail awaiting his evaluation and is scheduled to return to court Oct. 4.
In other court action Monday:
Joseph A. Peterkin, 32, of Brooklyn, pleaded not guilty to two counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, all class B felonies. He was released under probation supervision after testing positive for THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, and admitting to probation officials before pleading that he had smoked marijuana.
It is alleged that Mr. Peterkin, who police said goes by the name Drama, possessed cocaine and sold it to another person in Ogdensburg.
He was arrested by city police as part of a raid at 309 Montgomery St. At the time, he was wanted for absconding from parole release on a narcotics charge.
The search also led to the discovery of a teenager staying at the residence who had been brought there from North Carolina to help with crack cocaine sales, police said. They said the minor was brought to New York without the knowledge of his parents, who had discovered him missing May 29. He was turned over to the county Social Services Department, which arranged for him to be returned home, police said.
Andrew J. Regan, 33, of 136 Regan Road, Norwood, pleaded not guilty to first-degree rape, a class B violent felony, and was released under probation supervision. He was arrested by state police Feb. 13 following a lengthy investigation into an alleged rape that was reported Aug. 9, 2009. He is accused of having sexual intercourse with a woman, now 27, who is incapable of consent by reason of being physically helpless.
Timothy J. Green, 31, of 13 Pine St. Apt. B, Canton, was sentenced to one year of interim probation for first-degree scheme to defraud, a class E felony. Mr. Green issued four checks totaling $201.69 to the Potsdam IGA supermarket in June 2012. All were returned for insufficient funds. On June 27, 2009, Mr. Greene used 16 invalid checks for purchases at Price Chopper, Bressettes Bottles N Beverage and Rex Hardware totaling $1,078.
Sentencing was adjourned to Aug. 25, 2014, and Mr. Green was ordered to pay $2,143.27 in restitution .
Justin L. Chalupa, 23, 18 Johnston St., Gouverneur, was sentenced to five years probation after his June 14 guilty plea to third-degree burglary, a class D felony.
Mr. Chalupa also was ordered to pay $1,804 and $ 375 in court fines, fees and surcharges.
In court action Thursday:
Chauncey J. Pray, 23, of 76 Demot St., Hammond,was sentenced to a maximum of 4� years in state prison for the class D felony of third-degree robbery, after his robbery of Ogdensburg taxi driver Keri J. Lasiege.
In a letter addressed to the court, Ms. Lasiege recalled the Feb. 4 night Mr. Pray grabbed her while the cab was in motion and forced the vehicle into a park near Knox and Clark streets. She said she freed herself from Mr. Prays grasp after he removed a cellphone and the vehicles keys.
Mr. Pray already had been denied entry into the Judicial Diversion Program twice, the last time in July, as the team that reviews applicants decided that entering him into the program would create a safety issue for the community. It recommended incarceration.
In addition to jail time, Mr. Pray was ordered to pay $77 in restitution and $50 court fees.
Sidney M. Belile, 49, of 8714 Route 56, Raymondville, the former commander of the Sons of the Legion at American Legion Post 68, Norwood, who allegedly embezzled $1,240 from the American Legion bank account, was released under probation supervision after an adjournment of his sentencing.
Mr. Belile pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, a class D felony. Sentencing was adjourned to Oct. 18.
Shawn R. McIntyre, 28, of 1553 Route 812, Gouverneur, was sentenced to five years probation after a June 3 guilty plea to aggravated DWI, a class E felony. He was arrested Oct. 21 for operating a 2005 Dodge on Route 58 with a blood alcohol content of 0.22 percent. Aggravated DWI is charged when the BAC is 0.18 percent or more. Mr. McIntyre had misdemeanor DWI conviction in 2006, prosecutors said.
In addition to probation, he was ordered to pay $2,070 in court fines, fees and surcharges, and his drivers license was revoked.

My voice. That's my angle. Eight years ago, Bamuthi asked me to "bust beats in a show I'm doing" (that's almost a quote). I thought he meant playing drums. He was thinking more about beat boxing. Although I did play drums in Scourge, it was the beat box alongside the instrumentation that was something special and different. For me, that experience started a new way of thinking about music in general, and specifically about how to tell a story with note progressions, key changes, and soundscapes. Most of this is done live with our hands and mouths and little live instrumentation. That's part of what I think the hip-hop aesthetic is. We use what we have to create what we need. That's personally my whole steez.
I am connected to the concept of making something out of nothing. I haven't been more aware of that than with red, black and GREEN: a blues. On stage, we are able to embody real people, who are seemingly nothing to this world, and share their "something" with multiple communities who wouldn't have been the wiser. That is pretty special. It's evidence of hope. To me, Traci Tolmaire, Theaster Gates, Marc Bamuthi Joseph, and myself, creating at least four genres of music with our voices and a shotgun house repurposed as a drum set is the freshest ever. I was hyped upon being asked to compose this piece, because I was into making music with a computer program. I thought this would be my chance to flex some beat-producing skills.
Our director kept ever so gently pushing me to create things organically, which, frankly, I resisted at first. I soon realized that what I was being asked to do was very challenging. We musically went green. Reduced the use of samples. Reused and recycled the music and melodies that impacted us as artists.

Progress on the Quincy Bypass, which will connect State Road 12 to U.S. Highway 90 near Ralph Strong Road and the Capital Regional Medical Center Gadsden Campus, is about 30 percent complete and work on the project is moving at a steady pace, according to Anthony Manos, project engineer.
"Much of the clearing is done about a third of the drainage is complete and about 30 percent of the earthwork has been done," Manos said.

I put off my spring flower planting. It wasn't easy either.
I didn't make the same mistake this year as I did last year. I didn't let the weather fool me with the few warm days we have experienced in the past weeks. Not that I wasn't tempted to go to garden shops and bring home a truck filled with tender flowers just waiting for me to put in the ground. Just like babies, they look so cute when they're little.
I am listing these "10 unpleasant facts," as they were called in the Oct. 25, 2010, issue of the Wall Street Journal because someone shared them with me and I want to share it with our readers. There is a lot of work to be done in the black community. These facts won't go away by wishing them away or pretending they're not true. Ask any teacher, social worker, judge or law enforcement officer in our county and find out for yourself. This is disturbing/

Yesterday I had a lovely girly day with my mother by taking the train down to central London where we both exited at Piccadilly Circus and found ourselves situated at the bottom of Regent Street.
I absolutely adore travelling to central London just to experience everything around me, the beautiful architecture, the amazing stores and brilliant atmosphere London has to offer is just so special.
Whilst in London I was lucky enough to come across the new red London buses!! And I must say, they are beautiful! I just love the way they have epitomised both a traditional and new feel into one iconic object. It has a sleek and unique look to it and yet a spectator can still see characteristics from its old ancestors, which I think is an igneous idea.

Moore Public Schools Superintendent Susan Pierce read the names in the soft, sweet voice of a teacher.
Sydney Angle, Antonia Candelaria, Emily Conatzer, Kyle Davis, Ja'Nae Hornsby, Christopher Legg and Nicolas McCabe.
About 2,000 Moore Public Schools employees packed the pews of Southern Hills Baptist Church on Wednesday. The staff meeting was the first time they had gathered since a tornado tore through their district and killed seven of their children.
They cried quietly.
"You protected your students on May 20 just like you would on any other day," Pierce said.
They hugged with closed eyes. Many wore shirts from their schools — Southmoore, Oakridge, Wayland Bonds. A few wore bandages. It was a safe moment to cry or laugh or talk.
There was some school business to take care of, Pierce told them. Paychecks will probably come out on time. Grades for all students will be final as of Monday. Grief counseling is in the works.
But really, the meeting was a time to pause.
Staff members applauded their co-workers from Plaza Towers and Briarwood elementary schools and Highland East Junior High School, where the storm crumbled walls and stole roofs.
Teachers from those schools buried their faces in their hands and sobbed. They wrapped their arms around each other. They looked up.
"Don't let anybody allow you to second-guess your actions on that day," Assistant Superintendent Robert Romines said.
Now is the time to lean on one another, Pierce said.
"We're Moore Public Schools," she said. "We've been here before, and we'll move on from here."
This is Pierce's last year with the school district. She's spent a lifetime in the district as a student, a teacher and an administrator.
Her last school day was Monday, but it was unlike any of her other days.
Pierce started her day with the regular Monday morning administrative staff meeting, which included talk of the impending bad weather. She emailed her principals and reminded them to be ready. They'd know what to do. They'd practiced so many times.
Calling off school wasn't appropriate. Oklahoma schools can't close for every bad weather day.
"We wouldn't go to school past mid-April," she said. "We know enough about the weather in Oklahoma that we watch the forecast in Oklahoma and it's meaningful."
Administrators met again at 1 p.m. to watch the weather and discuss the options. They turned on every live weather broadcast and waited.
"We were looking at the radar and we heard this ping," Pierce said. "There's this little red dot down around Chickasha."
Decision time.
Letting school out early is logistically impossible. Getting all 23,000 children in the district safely from school to home on a last-second timetable would be difficult, Pierce said. Some students don't have parents who can pick them up. Others go to after-school programs that aren't open. Letting walkers go in questionable weather can be unsafe.
"We decided to hold our dismissal," Pierce said.
She sent another email to principals — if the sirens sound, students stay at school until the storms pass. They can leave with their parents, but everybody stays put. The same decision was made in Oklahoma City and Norman.
Then the tornado came down from the sky. The sirens sounded.
School workers throughout the district did what they'd been trained to do, and children got into their "tornado positions." They crouched down in classrooms and hallways and covered their heads.
An elementary school teacher lined up the desks in her classroom like a train, and the students played music until it was time to hunker down. Teachers held hands. One principal stayed on the intercom through it all.
At the administration building, everyone split up into four rooms lined with lead — a holdover from when the place was a hospital.
The storm rumbled. The building shook. Everyone prayed. Boom. Silence.
They opened the doors and the building was destroyed. When they emerged from the wreckage, they saw the neighborhood behind was gone.
With no cellphone use, a few administrators walked down the road until they could hitch a ride. A Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms field agent named Pablo picked them up.
"You're going to have to direct me," he told them. "We don't come to Moore very often."
They arrived at the command center and that's when they heard the news from a city worker. Two schools had been destroyed and children may have died.
It was two hours after the storm hit.
Pierce went to Plaza Towers and was asked to help officials communicate with parents and identify bodies.
What did children wear to school that day? What color was his hair? Were her ears pierced?
"We thought that night we had lost seven of our babies and seven families had lost their children," Pierce said.
After children were pulled from the rubble, teachers sat with them, singing songs and holding their hands. They wrapped little ones in rugs or whatever they could find.
Across the district, employees were still reuniting students with their families. Streets were covered with debris, and windows of all the buses were blown out. Children were stranded. No homes to go to. Trapped parents. Destroyed cars.
Teachers and administrators stayed with them the whole time.
Unwavering. Unsurprising.
"People who say that there's no prayer in public schools," Pierce said, "weren't around Monday afternoon."

The Division focuses on the poorest and most vulnerable developing countries in the world. Specifically, it aims to increase understanding of the development problems of Africa and the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), as well as countries with specific geographical impediments, notably Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
The Division proposes policies for actions to support inclusive and sustainable development.
Over 90 developing countries fall under the Division's areas of work.
In a declaration adopted at yesterday's meeting, Ministers of the least developed countries (LDCs) called upon UNCTAD to continue to strengthen its support to LDC development by providing policy advice, technical assistance, and a forum for consensus building.

Good interview. I think one of the strong points in the book is the problem of animal suffering and all the so called "bad" scriptures in your chapter "What We Have Here Is A Failure To Communicate"
In particular "I Will Make Them Eat The Flesh Of Their Children"
In Jeremiah 19:3-9.

I like your interview quite a lot.
In fact, around 14 mins in you talk about the "Atheist world-view" or rather the lack of a definable athesit worldview as we are so vast and different...If you don't mind, I'd like to use that portion in another video I'm making.
Thanks again John (ps. Liking the Christian Delusion so far, I'm a slow reader)

Hi John
Not so much about the interview but rather the book itself. I have almost finished it and it is terrific. Each of the contributions brought a different but complementary perspective on the inanity of believing in a brainfart.
It pains me to think of all those credulous but well-meaning people out there.

10 U.S. Code § 4685 - Obsolete ordnance: loan to educational institutions and State soldiers and sailors' orphans' homes
(a) Upon the recommendation of the governor of the State concerned or Guam or the Virgin Islands, the Secretary of the Army, under regulations to be prescribed by him and without cost to the United States for transportation, may lend obsolete ordnance and ordnance stores to State, Guam, and the Virgin Islands educational institutions and to State soldiers and sailors' orphans' homes, for drill and instruction. However, no loan may be made under this subsection to an institution to which ordnance or ordnance stores may be issued under any law that was in effect on June 30, 1906, and is still in effect.
Source(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 263; Pub. L. 109–163, div. A, title X, § 1057(a)(10),Jan. 6, 2006, 119 Stat. 3441.)
|Revised section
|Source (U.S. Code)
|Source (Statutes at Large)
|50:62a (1st par. and proviso of last par.).
|June 30, 1906, ch. 3938, 34 Stat. 817.
|50:62a (last par., less proviso).
In subsection (a), the words "at his discretion" and "as may be available" are omitted as surplusage. The word "lend" is substituted for the word "issue" to reflect the intent of the section. 50:62a (1st 13 words of proviso) is omitted as surplusage. The words "and which is still in effect" are inserted for clarity.
In subsection (b), the words "to the United States" are omitted as surplusage. The words "except property properly expended" are inserted for clarity.
The words "subject to such regulations as he may prescribe" are omitted, since the Secretary has inherent authority to issue regulations appropriate to exercising his statutory functions. The words "to any of the 'National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers' already established or hereafter established and", in the Act of February 8, 1889, ch. 116, 25 Stat. 657, are not contained in 50:66 (1st sentence). They are also omitted from the revised section, since the National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers were dissolved by the Act of July 3, 1930, ch. 863, 46 Stat. 1016. The Acts of March 3, 1899, ch. 643 (1st proviso under "Ordnance Department"), 30 Stat. 1073; and May 26, 1900, ch. 586 (1st proviso under "Ordnance Department"), 31 Stat. 216, as amended, relating to disposal of ordnance to "Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers" by the Chief of Ordnance, became inoperative when the Homes were dissolved. Although section 402(e) of the Army Organization Act of 1950, ch. 383, 64 Stat. 273, amended the Act of May 26, 1900, it did not have the effect of reviving that act. The word "give" is substituted for the word "deliver" to express more clearly the intent of the section. The words "serviceable" and "as may be on hand undisposed of" are omitted as surplusage. The word "may" is substituted for the words "is authorized and directed", since section 4684 of this title provides an alternative method for the disposal of obsolete cannon.
2006—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 109–163substituted "State concerned or Guam or the Virgin Islands" for "State or Territory concerned" and "State, Guam, and the Virgin Islands" for "State and Territorial".

The Minnesota Timberwolves joined the NBA as an expansion team for the 1989-90 season. Things weren't good for Minnesota in its early years. After winning 22 games their inaugural season and 29 their second year, the Timberwolves won just 15 games in the 1991-92 season. Over the team's first seven seasons, Minnesota averaged a horrific 21.7 wins per year. The first sign of improvement came in the 1995-1996 season, when a 6-foot-11 rookie forward straight out of high school named Kevin Garnett joined the team. The following year Garnett joined forced with Georgia Tech rookie Stephon Marbury and veteran Tom Gugliotta to propel the 'Wolves to the franchise's first playoff appearance. The next year Minnesota won its first playoff game, but it wouldn't be until 2004 that the Timberwolves won a playoff series, ultimately making it to the Western Conference Finals. The run to the Western Conference Finals was the final season of eight in a row that Minnesota made the playoffs. After the 2006-2007 season the Timberwolves went into a rebuilding mode, trading Garnett to the Boston Celtics. Though the 'Wolves have added stars Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio, they haven't reached the playoffs since that Western Conference Finals run. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Minnesota Timberwolves basketball tickets.
The Minnesota Timberwolves had their best season since 2005 last season. Behind Kevin Love's unbelievably consistent play, the Timberwolves finished the season with 40 wins for the first time in almost a decade. Despite this success, the Minnesota Timberwolves missed the NBA playoffs for the 10th straight season.
Maybe no team in the Western Conference experienced the level on change that the Minnesota Timberwolves did this past offseason. Gone from Minnesota are head coach Rick Adelman and superstar Kevin Love. The Timberwolves welcomed Flip Saunders back as head coach and traded for number 1 overall picks Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins. Minnesota also added Rookies Zach LaVine and Gregg Robinson III, as well as veterans Thaddeus Young and Mo Williams. The Minnesota Timberwolves are building a strong core for the future and will be very young in 2014-15. But the combination of Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett should provide a major spark for Timberwolves and Flip Saunders has already proven he can take Minnesota to the NBA playoffs.
Check out our Minnesota Timberwolves Season Preview History page for previews of previous Wolves seasons.
The Timberwolves play their home games at the Target Center, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. When filled to capacity, the Target Center holds more than 19 thousand screaming Timberwolves fans. Located in the heart of Minneapolis, the Target Center is connected to other major locations in the city by skyways, making it easy for fans to get to the game. The Minnesota Timberwolves home bench is on the Target Center court side in front of sections 132-133. Target Center parking information is covered in our Timberwolves event guide.
Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets
With over 90 regular season games played between the Timberwolves and the Thunder, this match-up continues to build a history that could compete with the other rivalries in the NBA. The highlight of this series came when the two teams met in the first round of the 1998 Western Conference playoffs when Oklahoma City played in Seattle. As division foes, this rivalry will only get better in the upcoming seasons.
Meeting in the first round of the 1997 Western Conference playoffs is only the beginning of the rivalry between the Timberwolves and the Rockets. The two teams have met in the regular season over 95 times with games that are often fierce. Throughout the years, stars such as Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin Garnett have played in this match-up which has only heightened this rivalry.
The Timberwolves have been in the NBA since 1989 and still searching for their first NBA and Western Conference title. The organization struggled in the early parts of their history, but made the playoffs for eight consecutive seasons starting in 1997. The highlight of the organization came in 2004 when they won their first division title and reached the Western Conference Finals.
Doors open 90 minutes before tipoff for the general public.
Located inside of Target Center is one of the best Timberwolves pregame spots in town, Hubbert's Sports Bar & Grill. Another local favorite is Cowboy Jack's. It has great barbeque, burgers, and is usually full of Wolves fans. Minneapolis has a few great pubs, Kieran's Irish Pub, O'Donovan's, Mason's Restaurant Barre, and Sneaky Pete's are all in the area and worth checking out. For Mexican food try Rosa Mexicano, or Chef Shack Truck. If you are looking for great pizza, Pizza Luce, Pizza La Vista, and Time Square Pizza & Subs are three of the best in the city. Other great places are Murray's, Seven The Steakhouse, and Downtown Diner.
There are 3 large parking areas around Target Center. We recommend trying the largest lot which is directly west of Target Center between 10th St. and the arena. The 2nd largest lot is located to the north of the arena at the intersection of 3rd and 5th. The 3rd lot is just north of 4th and is usually the cheapest of the three but has the farthest walk.
Children 2 years old and older will require a ticket to attend a Timberwolves game. All children under 2 years old will be permitted to sit on a parents lap for the duration of the game. We recommend bringing proof of the child's age to the gate with you to ensure they are allowed to enter the Arena.
Wanted to thank you for the advice and great seats at Yankee Stadium for the Yanks vs. Red Sox. Mark - Cincinnati, OH

WELLESLEY ISLAND A major upgrade to the U.S. border station is closer to reality after a dozen years of planning, with $105 million for the project included in President Barack Obamas budget proposal released Tuesday.
The money would cover the first phase of work, including renovations to commercial and passenger vehicle inspection lanes, a commercial inspection warehouse, an impound lot and a new veterinary services building. Two parcels of land also will be purchased.
This project is important both for enhancing security at our nations borders and for supporting the New York/Canada commercial corridors, said Denise L. Pease, regional administrator for the U.S. General Services Administration. Whenever we make improvements that can facilitate transportation and operations at border crossings like the one at Alexandria Bay, we are also encouraging economic growth and job creation on both sides of the border.
Work would be done in stages to minimize traffic disruption at the border, which is open 24 hours a day and clears hundreds of thousands of vehicles and 1.5 million passengers a year.
A second phase of the work, not covered in the funding announced Tuesday, would include a new outbound inspection facility, noncommercial secondary inspection plaza and non-intrusive inspection building, along with renovations to the main administration building. That phase is estimated to cost about $100.5 million.
Robert G. Horr III, executive director of the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority, said the plans have been developing for about 12 years.
Its a big win for the region, he said.
Gary S. DeYoung, executive director of the 1000 Islands International Tourism Council, said traffic backups have frustrated travelers.
Rebuilding the port will address a lot of those issues so we dont have them in the future, he said.
Plans for expansion took a major step in 2007 when the Bush administration allocated $11.7 million for land acquisition and design. Parts of the design have been in place since 2010.
Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said the project could help develop business in the area.
Upgrading the Alexandria Bay port of entry can help attract new business to the north country, connect our small businesses to new markets, and help support new jobs, all while strengthening security, she said.
Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, in a statement, called the port of entry a vital piece of infrastructure that has been long overdue for an upgrade.
He said that in 2012, the port of entry saw 103,000 truck containers and 675,000 personal vehicles with a total of nearly 1.5 million passengers.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., in a statement, said the project would help tourism and economic development.

A five-run uprising in the bottom of the sixth inning carried Helper's American Legion team to a 10-4 victory of Murray Friday night in what had been a closely competitive game to that point.
Holding a precarious 5-4 lead going into the home half of the sixth, Blake Mortensen ignited the winning rally by leading off with a single.
Aaron Sandoval was hit by a pitched ball to put base runners at first and second and J.D. Sherman followed with a double. Trevor Thompson then lined a triple to deep left-center and the scoring race was on. Before it was over Murray had to resort to two relief pitchers to put out the fire.
Sherman got the home team off on the right track with a solo homer in the first inning and consecutive singles by Brady Wilde, Kyler Edgehouse and Jordan Moynier added two more runs in the second frame. Single runs in the third and fourth innings added to the 5-4 edge Helper took into the sixth inning.
Emery High graduate Edgehouse pitched the entire game for Helper in a masterful performance on the mound. The right-hander only allowed six hits over the seven innings, striking out six and issuing seven walks. Murray put three runs on the board in the top of the sixth on three hits and a pair of base on balls.
This was the last home game of the season on Helper's Gardner Field before a good crowd. The team now moves on to the state American Legion tournament starting Saturday, August 4, in Kearns.

Premium performance fuels like Shell's V-Power Nitro +, BP Ultimate or Texaco Supreme make promises to clean and protect your car and even help squeeze more miles from your tank.
But when it costs more at the pump, is it really worth splashing out on a tank of super fuel?
Premium petrol can cost up to 30p a litre more than standard unleaded petrol, although the typical gap is around 10p.
And it's not just the big names selling it: even supermarkets sell upgraded versions such as Tesco's Momentum 99 or Sainsbury's Super Unleaded.
Super fuel or high performance fuel is petrol with a higher octane rating.
Most standard brands of fuel have a 95 octane rating.
But super fuel typically has a higher rating - around 98 - which can make the engine work more efficiently and improve performance.
You can also buy versions of super fuel suitable for diesel vehicles too.
But Matthew Minter, editorial director of motor manual publisher Haynes, says most people won't drive in a way to notice any difference.
"And 99% of cars will work perfectly well on 95 octane standard unleaded fuel," he adds.
However, says Minter, with certain high-performance sports cars, some experts believe filling them with super fuel can improve performance.
My husband's always been a super fuel cynic and considered the extra cost a waste of money.
But after a work colleague talked up the benefits, he tried it in his Mercedes SLK200 and was surprised with the results.
He saved around £6 per tank due to the extra mileage the super fuel produced.
I, on the other hand, filled up my Peugeot 206 CC for the purpose of research and didn't notice any difference.
But it's worth trying out super fuel says Chris Patience from the AA.
"Different cars will respond differently to these fuels so the only way to find out really is to try it and see."
Premium petrol producers make claims of additives designed to clean and protect your engine but does this make it worth buying regularly?
"Premium fuels do contain more effective detergent additives which help the removal, and prevent formation of, carbon and gum deposits on valves and other components inside the combustion chamber," says Patience.
But there's no need to regularly fill up with more expensive fuel if you want to look after the insides of your motor - just the occasional tank can do the trick.
Patience adds: "If you're planning to keep the car long term, using a premium fuel every fourth tank can help engine longevity and maintain performance over time."
If you're buying a new car, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) says some manufacturers will recommend a particular type of fuel.
For example, Ford suggests using BP Ultimate in its vehicles.
Vauxhall on the other hand doesn't recommend a particular fuel.
Vauxhall spokesman Simon Hucknall says you'd be "wasting your money" by putting high octane performance fuel into most of its standard range of cars, with just a couple of exceptions on its top-of-the-range models.
If you buy a secondhand car that's been run for years on whatever the nearest pump had to offer, regularly flushing it through with a few tankfuls of premium fuel can still improve performance, according to the AA.
"However you're the only one who can decide if there's a noticeable change in performance or measurable improvement in fuel economy that's worth the premium paid for the fuel," says Minter of Haynes.
Whatever the cost of filling up your car, it makes sense to get into some good habits so you don't spend more than you have to. Here are five top tips from PetrolPrices.com.
You can use less fuel by driving more efficiently. Accelerate gradually, don't exceed 3,000 revs per minute, avoid braking sharply and drive in the highest gear possible without labouring the engine. This will all help to reduce your fuel consumption. Turning off your engine when you are idle for long periods of time is also an easy way to save on fuel.
You can reduce fuel consumption by removing excess weight from your car. You can do this by removing your roof rack when you aren't using it and disposing of any rubbish. You should also make sure your tyres are pumped up to the correct pressure, your air conditioning is turned off on short journeys and you keep your windows closed on motorways.
Before setting off on a journey, try and plan when you will need to refuel and where you will go to do so. This should help you to avoid letting your fuel run low as it may result in you panic-buying at the nearest, most expensive station.
Supermarkets often compete to try and encourage you to use their station, so look out for vouchers that give you money off your fuel spending and use them when you fill up. In addition, some credit cards offer cashback deals on your fuel spending. For example, you can earn 3% cashback at the pumps when using the Santander 123 credit card, up to a spend of £300 per month.
Comparison site PetrolPrices.com allows you to check the price of fuel in your postcode and find the cheapest station. The website has petrol prices for almost 11,000 stations in the UK. It also receives approximately 8,000 daily updates, which should ensure you're getting the best deals out there.

Hmmm - "Octane is a chemical in petrol". Bet that took a lot of research to find out. In reality, it's a measure of the ability of fuel to compress before burning. (You were probably thinking of leaded petrol where a lead compound (Tetra Ethyl Lead) used to be added to improve the octane number and reduce or prevent "knocking". This was removed due to environmental concerns and the widespread use of catalytic converters, which are poisoned by lead and thus rendered ineffective.) Premium petrol aka high octane fuel is useful for high performance engines which have their state of tune ready to accept the benefits. There is, I can assure you, a substantial difference in available performance between 95 and 98 or 99 octane fuel for road cars.

Modern cars with computerised fuel injection will automatically tune themselves to take best advantate of whatever grade of fuel is used. However older cars with carburetters should have the ignition timing set to suit the fuel quality, sports cars such as old MGBs that have had theirs heads converted run better on the 98 octane fuel because originally they were ddsigned for 100 octane fuel. The ignition would have to be adjusted by upto 4 degrees to run on 95 octane fuel. By the way...... Octane is a rating not a chemical as stated in the article....

What a dreadfully fluffy article. Octanes in petrol is the equivalent of Cetanes in diesel, not an additive at all. It is a standard of how much bang you get for your buck ( in very simple terms ) I run a "performance" car, use of higher octane fuel considerably increases my MPG to more than the equivalent cost of standard unleaded. It's cheaper by MPG, and does show a better performance. I have my MPG monitored by my company who constantly run cost exercises miles run against fuel purchased. They have no issue at all with my purchasing super grade fuel, and concur with my MPG figures being better on super than standard unleaded.

I drive a 1972 Mk3 Ford Cortina and I notice a big difference! If I use premium fuel then she drives smooth and economically like most modern cars however if I put in Tesco's cheap stuff it pinks under acceleration & I get less miles! My biggest problem is that I live in the country and am about 35 miles from my nearest premium pump so I have to make do with the cheap stuff.
4:39 PM on 17/03/2014
My personal experience as a driver of 10 year old cars (Astra/Mondeo) is that it makes no difference to fuel economy but it does help these cars accelerate more smoothly - especially from a standing start. I'd say worth a try on an occasional basis - e.g. 1 tank in 4 as suggested in the article.

Clarification: Octane is a chemical. Octane is also an ingredient in Petrol. The Octane RATING is a measurement of the performance of the fuel. Good wiki-article here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

I find that on a whole my BMW 318ti gains a little mpg with V-Power vs. Fuel-Save (probably about 0.5 - 1.5mpg, or 2-3%). However, the real benefit is smoother power delivery and noticeably fruity engine note. As a result I tend to wipe out any MPG benefits by driving harder - Rats!

Very interesting article. As a diesel driver I have been tempted to try the odd tank of "premium" fuel but fear that the low through-put of such fuels means they could be of poor quality, especially if the (garage) tanks have not been filled for several weeks. However I will try a tank full soon and see how it works out. Thank you. I could not see the offending "Octane is a chemical in petrol" so I presume that you have edited it out.
5:26 PM on 17/03/2014
(A different Andrew...) My Discovery 3 does more miles per £ and has much better acceleration on the Shell Nitro stuff, but my Mazda MX5 doesn't (yet) seem to notice the difference with the petrol version. As it is nearly new there is no induction-side cleaning to be done and hence no improvement is expected... But a few more tanksful of each may yet tell me different.

It depends on the car, definitely, and also the type of driving you do. I used to drive an old naturally aspirated (i.e. non-turbo) Escort van 1.8. Speed demon, as you can imagine ;-) It made no difference whatsoever what grade of fuel I used in it, or how I drove it. A couple of years ago I bought a 2.0TDCI Mondeo. When I bought it, I worked relatively far from home (20 miles) and drove it every day on a mix of motorway, A-road and town roads. I filled up with cheap supermarket diesel and it ran fine, giving me around 50 MPG. I then got a job 3 miles from home, and now the car mostly does low speed town miles. After a couple of months of working at my new job, the engine started to get clogged up with carbon deposits and soot, and would "judder" when driving at low revs in a higher gear, so much so I had to knock it down a gear to stop the juddering. I read somewhere that this is common and that "super fuel" stops it. From the very first tank of BP Ultimate, the juddering stopped, the engine ran generally smoother and as a bonus, my MPG went up a bit. Now I don't buy anything else. And I make sure to take it for a blast on the motorway once a week or so to clear out the crud!

I tried Esso Supreme in our MBG V8 & I later described the effect as though the fairies had been round during the night & tuned it - the effect was DRAMATIC. It has a version of the 3500 cc Rover V8, but with a lower compression ratio, so it wasn't that, although the workshop manual did suggest 98 octane. I'm certainly a convert for older performance cars. It is difficult to tell whether the fuel consumption is any better, as one tends to use the performance......

Couple of years ago i have owned 2001 bmw 3 series 3 litre diesel and using v-power diesel fuel i have noticed that my car could do 50-60 miles more on the full tank to compare when refueling with standard shell diesel. It was more powerful to compare to regular diesel fuel as well. On the other hand now being an owner of 2005 bmw 5 series 3 litre petrol, my car does not like shell fuel at all, no matter whether v-power or normal unleaded been used. It loves texaco standard unleaded fuel, which is running brilliant on, feel much quicker than on any other fuel. So i think it depends on circumstances, premium fuel may work better on some cars and it may not on others.

I won't preach to know a lot about octanes etc, but after recently purchasing a 14 yr old bmw 330ci and running the 1st tank of "normal fuel against the premium ever since I can assure you it makes a difference, my mpg has gone up massively and she feels faster and smoother than before, worth the extra 5-7p per litre for sure

Ridiculous article - manufacturers specify the required fuel for engine with numerous high performance cars demanding high octane fuel to prevent 'pinking' or pre-ignition, and those conditions are typically specified in both the handbook and inside of the fuel filler flap. Pre-ignition is a potentially dangerous condition which can destroy an engine through the fuel igniting in the cylinder before the engine spark. By writing such an article as this leaves you open to people using 95 octane instead of the manufacturers 98+ octane (on your advice) and destroying their engine. Come to think of it - I just filled my Subaru with 95 octane fuel on you articles advice and it seems to have gone bang...... PLEASE don't waste anyone's time with such dangerously ill informed articles ever again !

We have a low mileage 200SLK and a Nissan Primera 1.8 with 100k on the clock. We decided to try both cars on premium grade for about 3 months. We always fill the tanks to absolutely full and always record mileage for each filling. After putting all the results into spreadsheets and analysing the results, the SLK actually seemed to have very slightly poorer mpg overall (down from 33.3 to 32.7 mpg) when running on premium, but there was no discernible difference on the Primera's mpg.

I have a 10 year old Citroen C5 which has had a gas conversion so that's the cleaning taken care of, but I had always occasionally filled up on low grade cheap petrol and when it ran on this fuel during warm up it always felt lumpy and spluttery, so I decided on shells nitro and ever since using it the car runs smoother and starting is instant! But since I only need to put a tenners worth in every month then I guess I am quids in anyway!

Modern fuel with a octane rating of less then 99 is no good to in a classic car. In fact it does more harm than good. It causes the engine to run hotter that creates vapour lock causing the car to stall and unable to restart until the fuel in the fuel lines to cool down. Unleaded fuel also damages all metal parts including brass fittings and associated carburettor parts. Classic car owners such as my self dread the modern fuel, to improve the running of our cars is to use top octane rated fuel, the best fir my car a Savage v6 cortina is Shells v Power nitro together with Millers oils fuel additive that boosts the octane rating even more and protects all the parts that the fuel come in contact with.

I had an old Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 petrol that definitely preferred the good stuff. Greater acceleration and more mpg, but it also varied between brands. In contrast, I now have a 3 year old Volvo C30 diesel that seems to run equally well on the ordinary fuel. I still buy an occasional tank of the good stuff for its cleaning properties.

Have ran "Premium Fuels" on and off for years. In some cars they work better than others. Performance cars will nearly always benefit from using better quality fuel. They do work and they can save you money. Combined with strict regular servicing and considerate driving you will benefit as a car owner using the premium fuels.
