| How the Once-Mighty Knicks Have Fallen
But you did come close. I often wonder how you four would have reacted to a 33-win season. Something tells me you wouldn't have thought, "hey, contract extensions for everybody!" But then, something tells me you wouldn't have promoted an intern who admitted to having an affair with a married player who admitted to calling another female employee bitch. You would not have allowed certain unqualified employees to think they have the run of the place. You would not have played your point guard 34 minutes the day after he went AWOL. You would not have signed Jerome James. You would not have dismantled the Marty Glickman radio booth for the almighty dollar. Marv Albert would still be calling games. Patrick Ewing would be a coach. Allan Houston would be in the front office along with Larry Johnson.

As the outlook for those securities darkens, investors and rating agencies are starting to question whether the insurance companies have enough capital needed to make good on their bond guarantees. And that is starting to affect the price of insured municipal bonds. On Wednesday, rating agency Standard & Poor's lowered its outlook on two of the four largest bond insurance companies to negative from stable, and put a third on credit watch. "Our research has led us to the conclusion that the potential for further mortgage market deterioration remains uncertain and will challenge the ability of the insurers to accurately gauge their ongoing additional capital needs in the near term," S&P said in a release. Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings previously put out similar warnings on several insurers.

CLARENDON HILLS, Ill., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Association of Senior Move Managers today announced the launch of the NASMM Senior Housing Locator, an online navigational tool developed by SNAPforSeniors to help users find appropriate senior housing more quickly and easily.

Capitol Hill slaying has sent many women to self-defense class
Feelings of helplessness and fear resurfaced for many residents of Capitol Hill and other Seattle neighborhoods, where the increasing uncertainty about the killing of Shannon Harps has pushed some to seek ways to defend themselves. Carolyn is a Central Area resident who has taken matters into her own hands: She began scouting self-defense classes for neighborhood block watch members earlier this month. The 71-year-old, who asked that her last name not be used, became more concerned about personal safety after she was assaulted in 2006. She knew the attacker was behind her, but she didn't know what to do about it. After Harps' slaying New Year's Eve on Capitol Hill, she took action. Carolyn's hunt took her to Home Alive, a self-defense group that was started in memory of singer Mia Zapata, 28, who was killed on Capitol Hill nearly 15 years ago.
