...Making the situation worse is that the Hornets have never really fit in with a town that already lost one sad hoops franchise, the New Orleans Jazz, to Utah almost 30 years ago. The team slipped into New Orleans in 2002, when co-owners Shinn and Ray Wooldridge moved the team from Charlotte after years of fighting the city for a new arena (in early 2005, Shinn bought Wooldridge's stake in the franchise). The team struggled to draw fans in the Crescent City, and after just three seasons Katrina forced the Hornets to fly off to Oklahoma City...
...many times, these quick fixes fail; the inflated egos can't fit into the same arena. Those Rockets lost in the first round of the playoffs. The Yankees haven't won a World Series in seven years. So how do you explain the 2008 Boston Celtics? Last season, the Cs, one of the most celebrated sport franchises, winners of 16 titles, were the joke of the NBA. They finished 24-58 and at one point doormatted 18 straight games. During the off-season, Celtics GM Danny Ainge pulled off a pair of heists, bringing Kevin Garnett...
Other hotels are designing sleep amenities to fit their individual personalities. At La Mansion del Rio in San Antonio, handcrafted worry dolls are placed in rooms every night, a nod to Yanaguana folklore, which promises that your cares will evaporate by dawn if you transfer them to the dolls as you sleep. The Milliken Creek Inn & Spa in Napa Valley, Calif., offers a package that includes the Good Night Sleep Kit by Deepak Chopra. And at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego, the "vibe manager" will create a playlist of mellow music (ranging from Simon and Garfunkel to Morcheeba...
...selection of the parties’ nominees must obey democratic principles as well. We recognize, however, that altering this year’s nomination rules to strip superdelegates of their power would be impractical, unjust, and dishonest toward the candidates who have invested months and years developing strategies to fit them. Moreover, it would further undermine the Democratic National Committee’s authority in an election cycle that has already strained its relationship with state parties over front-loading in the primary schedule.Nonetheless, while superdelegates are currently under no legal requirement to endorse the choice of their constituents...
...care most about the economy, while Romney scored best on immigration. Many conservative leaders will never trust McCain, partly because he's taken them on with such glee on issues like campaign finance, and partly because he's a liberal media darling. But conservative voters don't always fit neatly into Main Street or Wall Street, theocon or neocon boxes. Some vote with their gut - emoticons? - and McCain's warrior biography and tough-guy persona may trump his voting record...
