Especially when the jazz attributes spring from the individual talents of players as skilled as violinists Evan Price and David Balakrishnan, violist Mads Tolling and cellist Mark Summer. The sounds of Coltrane initially surfaced in tunes associated with his extraordinary soloing ("A Night in Tunisia," " 'Round Midnight") as well as his own composition "Moments Notice," delivered in a particularly propulsive arrangement by Summer. The soloing was superb, with the members offering contrasting qualities: clarity and precision from Price's focused lines; dark, bop-driven passions from Balakrishnan; horn-like phrasing from Tolling; and startlingly virtuosic, scour-the-instrument passages from Summer. The piece de resistance was Coltrane's classic, four-movement work, "A Love Supreme.

Entering with 7:19 left in the first quarter, Stoudemire took a pass from Steve Nash and threw down a one-handed dunk in his first minute on the floor, then took another pass from the reigning NBA MVP and scored in the lane before adding a pair of free throws. More impressive than Stoudemire's scoring surge was a sequence in which he made a nifty pass to guard Leandro Barbosa for a great look underneath the basket and then blocked a shot by Lakers forward Ronny Turiaf. The rest of the Stoudemire's game was a blur of silly fouls, blown defensive assignments and vacant stares from the bench. "By January, he'll be fine," D'Antoni said "But there will be ups and downs.

As a result, it is impossible to prove that any individual's vote was actually counted. After the election is over, any corruption in the counting of votes would be impossible to determine, said Edward Felten, a computer scientist at Princeton University. "I am pretty alarmed about the reliability and security of electronic voting equipment," Felten said, adding that the software used in voting machines is substandard when compared to high reliability equipment like medical systems. But Kimball Brace, a longtime Washington consultant on voting issues, said computer scientists did not fully understand all the safeguards, integrity and professionalism that existed in the more than 3,000 counties in the nation. The entire controversy over voting technology began with a dispute about accuracy, not security, in the 2000 election, Brace and others said .

The state stepped into a bitter battle Thursday between Blue Cross of California and the doctors, hospitals and medical labs that serve about 700,000 people covered by the state's largest health plan. At issue is the contentious financial relationship between medical providers and Blue Cross, which the state's top HMO regulator warned might worsen the plight of California's struggling hospitals. The dispute began this year when Blue Cross sought to require hospitals, physicians and labs to sign a confidentiality agreement that would prevent them from publicly discussing fee negotiations. But the providers balked, saying it prevented them from using lawyers and other outside consultants to represent them in fee negotiations, a routine practice. If they refuse to go along with the rules Blue Cross lays down for the negotiations, the providers say, the health plan threatens to stop sending them patients. On Thursday, the Department of Managed Health Care issued a cease-and-desist order forbidding Blue Cross to continue its efforts. Blue Cross said it had tried to address the agency's concerns and was surprised by the action . "I ask for your continued prayer for God's grace as we work through this together.

He said he believed the Russian investigative team had sought to interview about 100 witnesses in Britain, but only three agreed. Russian detectives also reportedly questioned another Russian exile who has sought asylum in Britain, Chechen resistance spokesman Akhmed Zakayev, wanted in Russia on charges connected to the war in Chechnya. Zakayev also was a friend of Litvinenko and has accused the Russian government of involvement in his poisoning. Berezovsky, one of several so-called oligarchs who became billionaires overnight during Russia's transition to a market economy in the 1990s, fled the country in 2000.

Eventually, one or more of the 1,700 components or 500 million transistors overheat and fail. The desire for more powerful home electronics gear is fueling the rise of heat-spewing gadgets.

WASHINGTON — For a second time this week, a liberal challenge to a disputed state law floundered in the Supreme Court because lawyers could not show hard evidence that anyone had been harmed by the statute. At issue Wednesday was Indiana's election law, the strictest in the nation, which requires voters to show an official photo identification, such as a driver's license or a passport, before casting a ballot. Democrats challenged the law as a voting rights violation, contending the Republican-backed measure would deter thousands of poor, minority or elderly voters from casting a ballot.
