The Knicks are on a 57-win pace without Amar'e Stoudemire.
They won't need him to get a top-four seed and home court in the first round. They will need him at close to his All-Star best to get the top seed — which may be the difference in a potential Eastern Conference Finals showdown with the Heat.
The Knicks' frontcourt is too old and injury-prone not to need a beastly Stoudemire to win a title. But what version are they getting back exactly?
The hints were there Stoudemire will strap on the goggles and ring in the new year with his season debut tonight against Portland. It's no guarantee because nothing is ever guaranteed with Stoudemire — except for the $100 million price tag.
Knicks coach Mike Woodson spoke optimistically after Stoudemire got through a second straight practice yesterday without a setback. Woodson said Stoudemire will make the final determination today, pending his surgically repaired left knee's reaction to the practices. The coach said it hinges on the level of soreness.
Woodson cautioned Stoudemire will play limited minutes for a while because of his lack of conditioning and spotty knowledge of the new defense. The Knicks have listed him as "questionable.''
"We'll have a better feel [today] on practice,'' Woodson said. "I thought [Stoudemire] moved around pretty good. We'll see how he feels. He'll let us know. He got through everything today, which is kind of nice."It's going to be up to him based on how he feels,'' Woodson added. "That has a lot to do with it. If he says, 'Hey, my knee is sore from yesterday's work,' we have to back off.''
The Knicks talk about Stoudemire like he is a $100 million plate of glass. It's been more than eight weeks since his Nov. 1 knee debridement surgery — a relatively minor procedure with a recovery timetable of 6-to-8 weeks. But Stoudemire still talked Sunday of feeling pain on certain cutting moves and being "not 80 percent.''
The prospect of Stoudemire's return has been met with either dread or delight from the Knicks' fan base. He's become the same polarizing figure A-Rod is with the Yankees — with a similar monstrous contract.
Conundrums abound. If Stoudemire returns tonight, can Woodson depend on him to stay healthy? Will he adapt to the limited bench role Woodson has planned at the outset? Will he be better on defense and rebounding than in the past? If he plays his way into the starting lineup, will he disrupt Carmelo Anthony's MVP flow at starting power forward?
Stoudemire skipped off the court without speaking yesterday, exited to the off-limits locker room while Anthony symbolically held court with the writers.
"It felt good today,'' Anthony said of Stoudemire's scrimmage. "Seeing him back out there running our offense, getting back in the flow of things, playing in the system. He's fitting right in so far in practice. Right now, it's all about getting the legs underneath of him.''
Stoudemire has turned 30, considered by most past his All-Star prime. But that doesn't mean huge expectations aren't attached to this return. He's making $19.9 million this season, $21.6 million next seasonand $23.4 million in the final season of his deal. The contract will prevent the Knicks from having a good cap situation until 2015.
Woodson will try to ease Stoudemire in slowly.
"We have to be cautious when we approach the game because he won't be able to play big minutes early,'' Woodson said. "That's already been determined. We have to gradually get himself back. That will take a little time.''
Anthony also is questionable for tonight's game after missing the past two with a knee hyperextension. So the Melo-Amar'e reunion may have to wait, even if Stoudemire plays.
"There's a lot of potential,'' Anthony said. "Our vision is for us to come together pretty well. Once we get healthy and full strength, no telling what we can do.''
The rhetoric has been heard before about what phenomenal things Melo and Amar'e can do together. The tandem is 30-33 in the regular season (8-2 under Woodson).
After two-plus seasons with the Knicks, the only certainty with Stoudemire is uncertainty.

Water Pollution Management Element
The Watershed Pollution Management Element (WPME) is responsible for protecting New Jersey's ground and surface water quality by assuring the proper treatment and discharge of wastewater (and its residuals) and stormwater from various types of facilities and activities, including the generation, monitoring, and management of sludge and sludge derived products.
One of WPME's main functions is the issuance of NJPDES permits, which
limit the amount of pollutants discharged into the waters of the state.
The NJPDES Program's goals are to:
Much of the Program was created in 1972 by the Federal Clean Water Act.
The NJPDES Program was delegated to New Jersey
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1981.
The WPME, through the NJPDES
program, has issued 5584 currently active permits. This includes 255 municipal
permits and 422 industrial permits for wastewater discharges to surface
water (excluding stormwater only permits). For stormwater discharges,
3387 NJPDES permits (184 - individual, 3203 - general) have been issued, including
675 for the municipal stormwater program. For ground
water discharges, 1034 NJPDES permits have been issued to both municipal
and industrial facilities including landfills. The Element has also permitted
74 NJPDES Significant Indirect Users (SIUs). These SIU permits are
for facilities
(mostly industries) that have a potential to discharge significant quantities
of wastewater
and/or concentrated pollutants into a sewer system for treatment at a municipal
treatment plant.
In addition, 61 NJPDES permits have been issued to municipal and
private entities for the land application, processing, storage, and distribution
of sewage sludges (residuals) and sludge derived products.
The WPME also regulates alternative designs of onsite wastewater treatment systems
through the issuance of Treatment
Works Approvals.

(91.4 x 152.4 cm) frame: 41 1/2 × 65 1/2 in. (105.4 × 166.4 cm)Credit Line: Bequest of Mrs. Reginald Marsh, 1979Object Number: 1979-48About: Reginald Marsh was drawn to the vitality of common life. A favorite motif was the public beach, particularly the beaches at Coney Island and Atlantic City where New Yorkers went to escape the summer heat. This crowded scene with its intertwined figures and leering glances shows the beach to provide little respite from summer in the city. At the center of the painting, the artist included a single African American woman. Her presence reflects the history of that locale. Beaches in Atlantic City were not officially segregated, but beachfront hotel owners discouraged African Americans from using the beaches immediately in front of their hotels. Black beachgoers began to gather on the beaches between Missouri and Mississippi Avenues. The area, known locally as Chicken Bone Beach for the large volume of chicken bones discarded there, attracted top African American entertainers.

Italian Beaches – Italian Beaches
Desperate Spirits – November 4, 2017
Italian Beaches' bio tells you that the group is 'a future-sent space tribe of musicians and comfort robots' – a layer of context that helps anchor their music to something. Before I read that, I had used Helado Negro as a reference point to their sound, then (after reading a piece on Treblezine) through a filter of Portishead, and after a surprise late in the album, with Nat King Cole and jazz standards for guideposts. Each listen-through was sublimely fresh, almost like listening to a different album each time – something I'd never experienced before.
The album opens on a note of relative straightforwardness with "Centralist" – a mix of shimmering synth organ and drum machines set a foundation for Reva Russell English to deliver soulful lyrics. "Habit" hints immediately towards something less traditional – glitchy drum loops and affected vocals give the feeling of weightlessness, before escalating through the chorus. The intimacy of the vocals backed up by soft organ tones and sparse, dripping percussion on "Tornado" is where I realized where most of the intensity on Italian Beaches comes from – not from being fast or loud, but being entirely comfortable in doing the opposite. "LAL" gets through its first verse pretty quietly before heavy synth-bass drops in – the transition to the chorus us jarring and disorienting, and the build to the chorus' end is gorgeous.
I had "Operator" stuck in my head for much of the last week or so – it's a catchy, subdued track with simple refrain of "operators are standing by to meet your needs" that is all about atmosphere. "Vinyl 9" is a fantastic, strange track about a ten-generation galactic voyage back to Earth – everything on this track does a great job giving you a feeling that you're there on that ship, floating through space. The final track, "Walker," sets up a smooth foundation of drums and keyboards, before dropping out for the vocals to come in a capella in perfect time. Somehow, Italian Beaches fit three-fourths of Nat King Cole's "On the Street Where You Live" into this song – it's effortless and brilliant, and the music lulled me into such a trance that I don't even notice it until my third listen.
Italian Beaches does a great job capturing the band's otherworldly live performances, translating the group's uncanny musical communication with one another into recorded form. Reva's vocals sound confident but effortless, Farhad's electronics are perfectly tasteful in giving the exact right harmonic support, and Dave's percussion converses with both bandmates in some almost recognizable alien language. Anyone who has been to see Italian Beaches play live has long waited for this album to come out, but the wait has certainly been worth it.
Tracks I Liked: Centralist!, Habit!, Tornado!!, LAL!!!, Operator!, Vinyl 9!!, Walker!!!

Total TimePrep: 40 min. Bake: 55 min. + chilling
Makes12 servings
- 1 package (9 ounces) chocolate wafer cookies, crushed
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened, divided
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1-1/3 cups sour cream, divided
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 5 ounces semisweet chocolate, divided
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup white baking chips
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- Raspberries, optional
- Mint leaves, optional
- Combine the wafer crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and butter. Press onto the bottom and 2 in. up the sides of 9-in. springform pan; set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat one 8-oz. package cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/3 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Lightly beat 1 egg; add to cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in melted chocolate and 1/3 cup sour cream. Spoon over crust.
- In another bowl, beat second 8-oz. package of cream cheese, brown sugar, flour and 1/3 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Lightly beat 1 egg; add to cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in pecans. Carefully spoon over chocolate layer. Place pan on a baking sheet.
- Beat 3-oz. package of cream cheese, almond extract, and remaining sugar, sour cream and vanilla until smooth. Lightly beat remaining egg; add to cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Carefully spoon over pecan layer.
- Bake at 325° for 55-60 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
- For glaze, chop 3 oz. semisweet chocolate and place in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Remove sides of springform pan; spread glaze over top of cheesecake to within 1/2 in. of edges. Refrigerate until serving.
- For chocolate curls, melt remaining semisweet chocolate; spread with a spatula into a very thin layer on a baking sheet. Chill for 2 minutes or until set.

Absolutely delicious.
Dec 7, 2010
I've been making this cheesecake for years and the recipe is so easy to follow that it comes out perfect every time. The only problem that I have is that people have a hard time believing that it was homemade. Caryn Wiggins had her recipe published in an old cookbook that a friend gave me years ago. Thanks Caryn for the great recipe.
Apr 13, 2009
Delicious! When I make this recipe again, I will add only 1/8 tsp. almond extract to the top layer -- it was overpowering. Well worth the effort. YUM!

The "debate" over the reality and cause of climate change stopped being scientific long ago. Today, the "debate" is nothing more than a distraction that serves a political purpose for those who would stand to lose the most by policies that would curtail the release of carbon from its restful, stable location below the surface of the earth, in the form of fossil fuels, into our environment.
The "debate" over the reality and cause of climate change stopped being scientific long ago. Today, the "debate" is nothing more than a distraction that serves a political purpose for those who would stand to lose the most by policies that would curtail the release of carbon from its restful, stable location below the surface of the earth, in the form of fossil fuels, into our environment.
One hundred percent of the current and former UMass Dartmouth scientists participating in an editorial board meeting at The Standard-Times on Tuesday agree both that climate change is occurring and that human activity — particularly the combustion of fossil fuels — has a significant impact on it.
The point was made in the meeting that it is not typical that scientists would agree so broadly. There's a reason for that: Theories aren't agreed upon in the scientific community, but facts are.
Theories are debated. Facts are facts.
The UMass scientists were invited to discuss three undeniable, provable effects that burning fossil fuels has on our oceans: acidification, warming, and sea level rise.
In a nutshell, the facts are as follows:
Acidification: Carbon from human activity of burning fossil fuels is being absorbed into and changing the pH of our oceans, thus affecting the growth of corals and the ability of mollusks to make their shells. Scientists are unclear on how ocean creatures will adapt to the rapid changes.
Ocean warming: The greenhouse gases — from a variety of sources — that prevent radiationalcooling have been raising the temperature of the atmosphere, melting glaciers and polar ice over the decades. The atmosphere warms further because there is less ice to reflect the sun, further diminishing radiational cooling. The oceans warm by absorption both of atmospheric heat and melting ice. Scientists are unclear about how new patterns of currents will affect fish populations and more energetic weather systems.
Sea level rise: The volume of water in the ocean increases because warmer water is less dense, and because more ice is melting. Scientists are not sure how rapidly the oceans will encroach on our coastal communities.
The standard assault from those who deny the existence and source of our current climate change takes the form of "facts" about previous periods of warming that ignore the context of how rapidly our current warming is taking place; use data that ignores the context of "anomalies" such as polar vortices, 16 years of cooler temperatures or localized drops in sea level; or shifts the blame to other sources, like methane as a greenhouse gas.
These arguments are not scientific. They always come from sources with significant political or economic reasons to deny climate change, and they are always debunked by legitimate science.
The Standard-Times editorial board is not opposed to the exploitation of fossil fuels: Our newspapers are delivered in vehicles burning gasoline and diesel every single day and nearly every employee commutes to and from work in a vehicle powered by fossil fuels.
We do, however, believe that our future will be dramatically affected by how rapidly our species shifts from fossil fuels to alternatives.
We see no public benefit to allowing on these pages arguments denying the fact of climate change and a warming global environment as a result of human society's recent — in geological terms — combustion of fossil fuels, any more than we would allow "debate" on whether race determines inherent intelligence or habits of personal industry. To the contrary, we see it as a disservice to truth.
As UMass coastal systems scientist Brian Howse pointed out Tuesday, beyond the how and why of climate change is the question about what we will do about it. The longer we allow the jaded political denial, the longer it will be before the public unites in calling for political action in the complex process of reacting to what is happening.
We are firmly committed to hosting a debate on these pages about whether a carbon tax is good policy, whether investment tax credits or other subsidies for alternative energy are good policy, how much should be spent on development of alternatives, whether XL Keystone is a good idea, whether the government should subsidize flood insurance or the myriad other important political decisions that must be made in response to our changing environment.
"Debate" over whether climate change is real or a hoax, however, should be confined to conspiracy websites and political blogs where truth takes a backseat to ideology.
