Knick's Lin lighting up Lakers at MSG
“Lin-sanity” has hit Broadway and far beyond as Lin, who went from a seat at the end of the bench to stardom in leading the Knicks to three consecutive victories this week, facest his toughest test to date against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
Yet in the early going, it seemed to be going his way. By the third quarter he already had posted his fourth consecutive game of 20-plus points and finished the quarter with 27 points. He had Woody Allen, Ben Stiller and, of course, Spike Lee, all fired up.
And by early in the fourth, Lin, faking a shot, then hitting from the corner, had 29 points, another career high.
To start the game, Lin hit a three-pointer for the Knicks’ first points, had nine points in the first five minutes of the game and helped New York to a 22-15 lead after one quarter. Lin was 4-of-7 for 10 points and had three assists and one steal.
He rested early in the second quarter, then got hot again nearing halftime. The Garden exploded on consecutive possessions for the Knicks, beginning with 3:04 left in the quarter when Lin drove the lane, made a turnaround move on the Lakers’ Derek Fisher and scored. Twenty-one seconds later, Lin drove the lane again — but this time he put a spin move on Fisher for the basket.
At halftime, the Knicks led 49-41, with Lin scoring 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting, five assists and one steal.
Yet interviewed at the half, Lin was upset that he wasn’t taking enough of an advantage of the Lakers’ “big men sagging off me” to get his own big man, Tyson Chandler, the ball. And so, he told ESPN’s Lisa Salters, he was going to take a look at the film at halftime.
Salters was about to ask another question — but stopped, eyes raised, and asked, “You’re going to look at tape right now.”
And, indeed, after halftime, Salters reported that Chandler said they DID look at the film.

The Family Farm Vs. Agribusiness: Will the Corporations Take Over ...
The family farm, an institution that has made American agriculture the most productive in the world and kept the land in the hands of those who work it, is in danger of being wiped out.
Food processors, oil companies, conglomerates and other corporate giants are forcing their way deeper into agriculture, based since the days of the Homestead Act on family-operated units.
Huge corporations are acquiring land, producing crops and livestock, and integrating the food industry forward and backward. They are exploiting farm labor, destroying public markets, and forcing millions of people into the cities (934,000 families driven off the land in the 1960s alone).
The takeover attempt is acknowledged by some of the nation’s biggest corporations. The Agribusiness Accountability Project reports the giant farmers include Tenneco, Incorporated; Boeing Aircraft; Getty Oil Company; Bank of America; Dow Chemical, and Pacific Lighting Corporation.
Tenneco, a huge conglomerate with $3.4 billion in assets, has told its stockholders it is developing a food system based on integration from seedling to supermarket. Tenneco’s holdings include the Kern County Land Company, with more land than the state of Rhode Island.
A recent report issued by the North Central Region of the Cooperative Extension Service suggests these trends, if allowed to continue, could wipe out family farms and all commercial full-time units in the next 25 years.
The public appears unaware of the tremendous social and economic upheaval that would result from a big business takeover of agriculture. Many people are misled by assurances from the Department of Agriculture and others that structural changes taking place in agriculture result from technological change, benefit the public, and are inevitable.
The family farm appears to have many friends. A recent Minneapolis Tribune survey showed 76 per cent consider the family farm efficient, 95 per cent want it preserved, and 57 per cent consider corporation farming a bad development. Yet 71 per cent said corporations will produce most of the nation’s food 25 years from now. In other words they consider the family farm both a valuable and efficient institution and a lost cause.
