It’s just great to be back playing in this building once again

Anthony, who in 2003 led Syracuse to its only national title, was the first player to be introduced before the Knicks lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, 98-90, in a preseason game Monday night. The fans, most of whom wore Anthony jerseys or Syracuse apparel, rose to their feet to give him an ovation. Of the six preseason games the Knicks will play, this was the one — added to the schedule late — that Anthony looked forward to most. “It’s just great to be back playing in this building once again,” Anthony said. “Tonight was just to give something back to the fans.” With the start of the regular season 10 days away Men's Nike NFL Arizona Cardinals #4 Kevin Kolb Game Team Color Jersey, Anthony wanted to have fun here. Coach Mike Woodson drew up the Knicks’ first play to get the ball to Anthony, who scored the first points of the game on a baseline jumper. Anthony said he wanted to play well for the fans, and he did his best to put on a show. With each basket, the crowd roared. He finished with 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. He also played 34 minutes, mostly because he asked Woodson to keep him in the game. “They love him here,” Woodson said. “He had a great career here at Syracuse.” Leading to the game, Anthony reminisced about the eight months he was on campus. He spoke of how Jim Boeheim showed him tough love but treated him like a son, of how magical his freshman season was and of how thrilled he was to return on Monday. “We formed something special the short time I was up there,” Anthony said before adding about Boeheim, “He guided me through those eight months and showed me what it takes to win.” In 2007, Anthony gave Syracuse $3 million to start a fund-raising campaign to help build a new basketball facility on campus. At the time, it was the biggest donation a professional athlete had given to his university. For his efforts, the university named the building the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center in 2009. “I do a lot in this community just out of the goodness of my heart,” Anthony said. “For me, this is where it all started. It’s only right for me to give back.” Anthony was on campus when the construction started, but his first visit inside the center was Sunday after the Knicks’ practice. “It was kind of surreal to be walking about there and seeing my name plastered outside of the building,” Anthony said. “It was shocking to me just to see that. I called my family and sent them pictures. It’s one of those moments that I’ll never forget.” The facility has two practice courts and a weight room. Boeheim, who sat near the court for Monday’s game, has his office on the second floor. Images of Anthony, including his jersey, are displayed throughout the center. Inside a hallway just outside the courts, Syracuse’s 81-78 victory over Kansas for the national championship is shown on a 24-hour loop. Anthony led Syracuse that night with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. The championship trophy is also displayed in the hallway. Brandon Triche, a senior guard for Syracuse, remembers that game and the 2003 season well. It is one reason he choose to play at Syracuse. Triche is from Jamesville, N.Y., just outside Syracuse, and he knows how much Anthony is revered in the area. Triche said he appreciated having Anthony in the gym he helped build to watch his alma mater practice Sunday. “For him to come back it means even more, just because he’s always doing stuff for the community,” Triche said. “He’s good at basketball, but he’s also helping others out, which is a great thing.” During the Knicks’ practice Sunday, Anthony took a moment to look at the championship banner near the top of the Carrier Dome. http://www.discountglasses-hot.com/

Underpinning that bleaker scenario

Advanced economies are risking recession, the international lending organization said in a quarterly update of its World Economic Outlook, and the malaise is spreading to more dynamic emerging economies such as China. The IMF forecasts that the world economy will expand 3.3 percent this year, down from the estimate of 3.5 percent growth it issued in July. Its forecast for growth in 2013 is 3.6 percent, down from 3.9 percent three months ago and 4.1 percent 49ers jerseys for sale in April. Underpinning that bleaker scenario are the assumptions that Europe will continue to ease monetary policy and that the U.S. will avert a crushing blow to growth by fending off a so-called "fiscal cliff" that could result from a failure to reach a compromise on its budget law and tax cuts. Conditions could worsen if the United States doesn't deal with its budget crisis soon, the IMF said. "Downside risks have increased and are considerable," the fund said. It said its forecasts are based "on critical policy action in the euro area and the United States, and it is very difficult to estimate the probability that this action will materialize." The IMF has urged the U.S. to raise the ceiling on the level of debt the government can issue, which is capped by law. In August 2011, a battle between the Obama administration and Congress over raising the limit wasn't resolved until the U.S. almost defaulted on its debt. Global efforts to ease credit and increase the amount of money available for lending are helping, but appear to be yielding diminishing returns, as are fiscal stimulus policies, the IMF warned. "Because uncertainty is high, confidence is low, and financial sectors are weak, the significant fiscal achievements have been accompanied by disappointing growth or recessions," it said. Among other things, it says governments need to do more to relieve the burden of household debt that is constraining spending power and thus crippling demand. While large corporations pay record low rates for credit, households and small companies struggle to obtain bank loans, it said. Fortifying domestic demand is all the more crucial given weakening trade trends. The IMF forecasts that growth in world trade volume will slump to 3.2 percent this year from 5.8 percent last year and 12.6 percent in 2010. "Low growth and uncertainty in advanced economies are affecting emerging market and developing economies through both trade and financial channels, adding to homegrown weaknesses," the IMF's chief economist, Olivier Blanchard, said in a statement. But he told reporters Tuesday a more optimistic scenario was possible if the right measures are taken, such as fixing banks in European countries and reducing the uncertainty about U.S. policies. "The case for an upside scenario is stronger than it has been," he said at the opening of the IMF meeting in Tokyo. He noted some positive signs in the U.S. economy such as a turnaround in the housing market. The IMF also sees the slowdown in China as part of a shift from the past double-digit growth to a rate that is "sustainable," a process he described as "a soft landing." And the slowdown in developed nations had pushed down exports, the key factor behind the slowdown in China, Blanchard and other IMF officials said. The IMF raised the U.S. growth forecast slightly, to 2.2 percent this year from 2 percent in July. For 2013, though, it expects U.S. growth of 2.1 percent, down from 2.3 percent. Among the 17 nations that use the euro, low growth in the major "core economies," such as Germany and France, will be offset by outright contractions in the smaller economies, leading real gross domestic product to fall by about 0.4 percent in 2012, the IMF said. It forecasts growth in the euro area will stay flat in the first half of 2013 and tick up to about 1 percent in the second half of the year, the IMF said womens buffalo bills jersey. The report was released just ahead of the World Bank-IMF annual meeting, which is being held in Tokyo this week. The gathering of some 10,000 bankers, executives and officials will likely refocus attention on Japan's failure to escape its own economic slump two decades after its own financial implosion in the early 1990s. The IMF said it expects growth in Japan to hit 2.2 percent this year but to slacken further as reconstruction from the March 2011 disasters winds down, falling to 1.2 percent in 2013. Japan, whose population is both shrinking and aging faster than elsewhere, is confronting problems of high debt and stagnation, it said. As usual, the bright spots are developing economies that were less affected by the global financial crisis, where rising employment and strong demand will help support growth, the IMF said. China's economy will likely expand 7.8 percent this year, down from July's 8 percent forecast, though a pickup in construction projects is expected to spur growth late in the year. India's economy will grow 4.9 percent, down from 6.1 percent. And Brazil's growth rams home jerseys will be only 1.5 percent, compared to 2.5 percent. The IMF advised policymakers to devise stronger medium-term fiscal and structural reforms to shore up confidence in the growth potential of the advanced economies. Only then, will investor confidence in markets and public debt be restored. "Unless governments spell out how they intend to effect the necessary adjustment over the medium term, a cloud of uncertainty will continue to hang over the international economy, with downside risks for output and employment in the short term," it said.

I, like most Americans

"I, like most Americans, believe that oakley vintage the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms," Obama told members of the National Urban League at their annual convention in New Orleans. "I think we recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation, that hunting and shooting are part of a cherished national heritage. "But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals. That mens oakley sunglasses they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities. I believe the majority of gun owners would agree we should do everything possible to prevent criminals and fugitives from purchasing weapons, and we should check someone's criminal record before they can check out a gun seller." So far, so good. But what the president said next negated the good job. He called for new restrictions to keep guns cheapest price out of the hands of the mentally unstable. Sure, like that's going to happen in a country that cares about sound mental health less than it cares about gun control. And how does one determine at a gun show or in a gun shop or on a Detroit street corner how someone is mentally unstable? I can just see it. A street corner. Low lights. Or broad daylight. "Yo, Pookie! I need a piece." "OK. But did you kill anybody this week? Do you remember your dreams? Is somebody trying to steal your thoughts?" I can see it. A crowded gun show. Children watching. "Hey Fred, let me have that there big 'un!" "OK, Ralph, but first lemme ask you something: You been having any dark thoughts? How's your self-esteem?" Yeah, right. America doesn't have enough primary care doctors to fulfill the mandates of the Affordable Health Care Act, a necessary but poorly planned program that's cheapest price intended to help Americans but doesn't provide all that's needed to do it. So America certainly doesn't have enough psychiatrists to do mental health checks on potential gun owners. That is not what is needed. What is needed is not a gun ban, which will never happen, but a weapons ban: It must be illegal to sell assault weapons to anyone who does not work for the Department of Defense. Unlike tax plans that treat people of different incomes differently, the needed weapons plan is simpler: No assault rifles off the battlefield. Period ray ban 2012 outlet. Four years ago, then-candidate Obama declared at the Democratic National Convention that "the reality of gun ownership may be different for hunters in rural Ohio than they are for those plagued by gang violence in Cleveland, but don't tell me we can't uphold the Second Amendment while keeping AK47s out of the hands of criminals." Say that. No, really, say that now wholesale oakley sunglasses. President Obama, not candidate Obama, has a job to do: prevent the next terrorist attack. That is what happened in Aurora, Colo. A domestic terrorist shot 70 people.

He is in an election year

Christie had been slated to take oakley dispatch the vice chairman's post for several months but recently decided against doing so, according to several governors who attended the association's annual meeting. He cited time constraints, given his current role and planned 2013 reelection campaign, as the reason for his decision. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) was elected vice chairwoman Sunday morning after Christie asked her to take the post, while Delaware Gov. Jack Markell (D) was elected chairman. Under the NGA's bylaws, Fallin is in line to become chairwoman next year as part of a planned annual bipartisan rotation. "He is in an election year. Governor Christie called me and asked if I would move into the vice chairman's slot," Fallin told HuffPost Sunday Get top ray ban special offer this summer SFDG9062. "He will wait for a better time. He is a great leader of the NGA. I was pleased that he offered me the opportunity and he said that there were other things he wanted to take care of in his state." Christie was reelected as a member of the NGA executive committee Sunday and will therefore remain a part of the association's leadership. Also on the executive committee are Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) and Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe (D), among others. Markell confirmed that Christie declined based on the amount of time the two leadership positions would take over the next two years. He noted that in addition to Christie's duties in Trenton, he is seeking a second term as governor in 2013 and is currently vice chairman of the Republican Governors Association. "He realized it was the time commitment men oakley sunglasses discount oakley-188, he told me this," Markell said. "Governor Fallin will be great." Christie's spokesman could not be reached for immediate comment. Christie attended parts of the NGA conference here on Saturday, including a closed-door lunch for governors and an RGA reception Saturday night, where he addressed the crowd. He was spotted walking into a closed-door meeting with Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) Saturday afternoon and did not answer questions from reporters. He did not attend Sunday morning's business session. Fallin, who will oversee the NGA's finance committee and Center for Best Practices, said she plans to utilize the vice chairman's role to help promote best practices for state governments and forge a working relationship between the states and the federal government. A former congresswoman, Fallin said there are a variety of common issues the states can focus on, including the impact of federal budget cuts, health care costs, taxes, the federal debt ceiling and the alternative minimum tax. "There are so many big issues going on nationally to build consensus on oakley sunglasses clearance," she said. This is not Fallin's first experience running a national group. During her three terms as Oklahoma's lieutenant governor, she chaired the National Lieutenant Governors Association and the Aerospace States Association. Other governors said they understood Christie's decision to bow out of the NGA role due to time constraints. Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire (D), a former NGA chairwoman, told HuffPost that while the NGA staff handles much of the work involved, she had to put aside time to oversee the association and attend various NGA meetings. http://www.sunglassesshop-buy.com/

The trade group of purchasing managers

Production and exports declined ray ban cheap, and the number of new orders plunged, according to a monthly report released Monday by the Institute for Supply Management. The slowdown comes as U.S. employers have scaled back hiring, consumers have turned more cautious, Europe faces a recession and manufacturing has slowed in big countries like China. "This is not good," said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at BTIG, an institutional brokerage. Though the report "does not mean recession for the broader economy, it is still a terribly weak number." The trade group of purchasing managers said its index of manufacturing activity fell to 49.7. That's down from 53.5 in May. And it's the lowest reading since July 2009, a month after the Great Recession officially ended. Readings below 50 indicate contraction. Economists said the manufacturing figures were consistent with growth at an annual rate of 1.5 percent or less. That would be down from the wholesale rayban sunglasses January-March quarter's already tepid annual pace of 1.9 percent. "Our forecast that the U.S. will grow by around 2 percent this year is now looking a bit optimistic," said Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics. Stocks fell sharply after the report was released at 10 a.m. But investors appeared to shake off the bad manufacturing news by the end of the day. The Dow Jones industrial average recovered most of its early losses to close down just 8.7 points at 12,871. And broader indexes ended the day up. Most economists aren't yet predicting another recession. Though the ISM report suggests manufacturing is contracting, it typically takes a sustained reading below 43 to signal the economy isn't growing. Still, U.S. manufacturing, which has helped drive growth since the recession ended, is faltering at a precarious time. Americans have pulled back on spending, which drives roughly 70 percent of growth. Europe's economy is likely in recession, which has hurt U.S. exports. And China's manufacturing sector grew in June at its slowest pace in seven months, according to a survey released Sunday by the state-affiliated China mac cosmetics online Federation of Logistics and Purchasing. Manufacturing will likely stay weak for the next few months. The ISM's gauge of new orders, a measure of future activity, plunged from 60.1 to 47.8. That's the first time it has fallen below 50 since April 2009, when the economy was still in recession. Fewer new orders reflect growing concerns of businesses. In addition to slower global growth and less spending by U.S. consumers, many companies worry that U.S. lawmakers won't extend a package of tax cuts at the end of the year. Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP Paribas, said the uncertainty "has left businesses unwilling to invest." A gauge of production in the ISM's survey fell to its lowest level in more than three years. U.S. factories are also reporting less overseas demand. A measure of exports dropped to 47.5, its lowest level since April 2009. A gauge of employment edged down but remained at a healthy level of 56.6. That suggests factories may still be adding jobs. Manufacturers have reported job gains for eight straight months. Overall hiring has slowed sharply this spring. Employers added an average of only 73,000 jobs per month in April and May. That's much lower than the average of 226,000 added in the first three months of this year. The unemployment rate rose in May to 8.2 percent fard from 8.1 percent, the first increase in a year. Worries about slowing job growth are outweighing the benefits of lower gas prices. A measure of consumer confidence fell in June for the fourth straight month.

Democrats and Republicans agree the No Child Left Behind law is broken

Arkansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Utah and Virginia will be freed from the No Child Left Behind requirement that all students test discount ray ban sunglasses proficient in math and science by 2014, a goal the nation remains far from achieving. In exchange, the states and all others granted waivers must develop accountability plans that set new targets for raising achievement, advancing teacher effectiveness, preparing all students for careers and college, and improving the performance of low-performing schools. "We all understand that the best ideas oakley sunglasses clearance don't come from Washington, and moving forward, these states will have increased flexibility with federal funds and relief from NCLB's mandates, allowing them to develop locally-tailored solutions to meet their unique educational challenges," Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in draft remarks released to The Associated Press. Democrats and Republicans agree the No Child Left Behind law is broken, but have been unable to agree on how to fix it. The law has been praised for shining a light on the performance of subgroups like minorities, low-income, English language learner and special education students, but also has led to an increasing number of schools being labeled cosmetic wholesale as "failing" and subject to a prescribed set of interventions — even if just one of these groups didn't meet learning targets. Critics of the law also say it has had the unintended effect of encouraging instructors to teach to the test and has led schools to narrow their curriculums. Duncan and the White House have pushed for a comprehensive reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, but there has been little movement in Congress over the past two years. After Duncan warned that 82 percent of schools could be labeled "failing" — a figure many said was inflated, but nonetheless agreed to be rising — the Obama administration announced last year that states could apply for waivers. Republicans have charged that poudre pour the president with overreaching his authority and imposing his vision for education on the states.
