    Nets? Never. Spike Lee will stick with the Knicks

    Associated Press – Sat, Aug 4, 2012

    NEW YORK (AP) — He's New York's most prominent Knicks fan. But he's also a proud son of Brooklyn.

    So would Spike Lee ever consider switching teams and rooting for the Brooklyn Nets?

    No, no and no.

    That's what Lee tells The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/MjVoeI ) in an interview discussing his split loyalties between the Knicks and the beloved hometown borough that has been the setting for many of his films.

    The Nets will play their first games in Brooklyn this fall, after moving from New Jersey.

    It's far from the first time Lee has vowed to go to his grave a Knicks fan.

    Last year he tried to hammer home the point on Twitter, saying that anyone who thinks he's switching to the Nets "is on crack, meth and malt liquor" (http://bit.ly/pmVGdD).

      By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) - Borders owes nothing to holders of roughly $210.5 million of gift cards that had not been used by the time the bookstore chain shut down, a Manhattan federal judge ruled on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter said it would be unfair to other creditors of the former Borders Group Inc. to let gift card holders pursue recoveries from the bankruptcy estate. To do so, Carter explained, could upset a liquidation by Borders' bankruptcy trustee that is already "substantially" completed. ...

In a deep report published on Tuesday, Pew Research explains that teenagers departing the social network's blue confines are looking for something more... real. ...
