On Monday we looked at charter school performance by authorizer type and structure and learned that neither seems to matter much when it comes to school quality. Today, with the continued help of our friends at Public Impact, we take a look at high-poverty schools in Ohio's Big 8 urban areas to see if charter or district schools demonstrated better success with this student population. For the purpose of this analysis ?high-poverty? is defined as schools serving a student population where at least 75 percent of students qualify as economically disadvantaged.
Chart 1 compares the distribution of Performance Index scores of high-poverty charters in the Big 8 to the distribution for high-poverty district schools in those cities. ?A greater percentage of charter schools than district schools have performance index scores of 100 or better (PI ranges from 0-120), and 2.9 percent of charters met or exceed the state goal of a PI score of 100, compared to 0.5 percent of district schools. High-poverty charter schools also had a higher percentage of schools with a PI score of 60 or below (7.6 percent), compared to only 3.9 percent of district schools. Despite the overrepresentation at both ends of the performance spectrum, high-poverty charters overall earned an average PI score of 78.2 compared to 77.3 for high-poverty district schools.
Chart 1: Distribution of Performance Index Scores, High-Poverty Ohio 8 Charter Schools vs. High-Poverty Ohio 8 District Schools, 2010-11
As part of our ongoing look at 2010-11 Ohio school performance data, earlier this week Jamie shared an analysis showing that charter authorizer type (e.g., non-profit, educational service center, district, or university) didn't correlate to school quality. ??While this may be true about authorizer type, a deeper look at the data for individual authorizer performance illustrates that not all authorizers are equal. Specifically, there are outliers, and the troubled Cleveland-based Ashe Culture Center jumps out as a true underachiever worthy of being booted from the authorizer business for good.
We took a closer look at the 10 largest authorizers (aka ???sponsors??? in the Buckeye State) in Ohio by the number of students enrolled in their sponsored schools. Taken together these authorizers sponsor about two-thirds of the state's 339 charters, and enroll about 80 percent of all Ohio charter students. In all three analyses (looking at academic ratings A-F, value-added growth, and Performance Index score) there is some fluctuation between authorizers that do well and those that struggle. For example, the Fordham Foundation stands out in Graph I because it has no schools rated in Academic Emergency, but in graph II Fordham's value-added results are lacking.
For Ashe, however, there is no fluctuation as its results are poor no matter how you cut it. ??This is backed up by the fact that Ashe has seen more of its schools closed automatically under the state's charter school academic ???death penalty??? than any other sponsor.
Getting academic standards right ??? specifying the knowledge and skills that teachers should teach and students should learn ??? is at the heart of just about everything that matters in K-12 education. Standards wield significant influence over what happens inside classrooms and high-quality academic standards that are the same across state lines offer the best shot at ensuring quality education for all American students, whether they live in Massachusetts, Oregon, or Ohio.
Ohio committed itself to embracing higher standards that cross state lines when it joined 45 other states and the District of Columbia in adopting the Common Core standards in math and English language arts (ELA) in June 2010. These standards, crafted by experts and practitioners convened by the National Governor's Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers, are more rigorous than Ohio's current ones. In Fordham's 2010 analysis of state academic standards, outside expert reviewers found that Ohio's ELA and math standards both earned an undistinguished C, while the Common Core standards in ELA and math are rated B+ and A ??? respectively.
The Common Core standards as promulgated appear deeper, more specific, and more cogent than most state academic standards, including Ohio's. They are well grounded in what students will need in order to be successful in college and in a career. In the language of current reform efforts, the K-12 common core standards will better ensure that students are college and career ready....
Yesterday, Jamie wrote about both the academic achievement and progress of students in Ohio's urban public schools.?? Today's analysis marries these two performance metrics together.
Ohio, like most states, issues data on both schools' annual achievement (a snapshot of performance) and academic growth over time. Ideally, schools will have high proportions of their students achieving at (or above) grade level and making measurable growth or progress in test scores over the course of the school year.
Chart 1 plots Ohio's Big 8 charter and district schools by both achievement and growth. Each square represents an elementary or middle school (high schools do not receive a value-added ??? growth -- score in Ohio). The upper-right section of the matrix is the ideal: high achievement and high growth. The vertical placement of each square represents a school's achievement; the higher a square, the higher the achievement. The horizontal location of each square represents a school's value-added category only (that is, a square on the left side of a box does not necessarily have lower value-added than one on the right; they are both in the same value added category).

With the help of our friends at Public Impact - who did the data analysis represented by the graphs below ? today we continue our series on Ohio school performance data with a look at student performance in Ohio's ?Big 8? districts (Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, and Youngstown) and charter schools.
First let's look at raw achievement of students attending Ohio's Big 8 district schools, and bricks-and-mortar charters in the Big 8. (We'll look at e-school charter performance later in the series.) Achievement is measured by a ?Performance Index,? a weighted average of student achievement in all tested subjects in grades 3-8, and which ranges from 1-120 (100 is the state goal).
Chart 1 compares the distribution of PI scores of bricks-and-mortar charters in the Big 8 districts to the distribution for traditional schools in those districts. There are two things to look for in the chart below. First, the higher the point on the graph, the more schools with that PI score. Second, the further to the right the curve, the higher the PI score.
Not surprisingly, charter schools are overrepresented at both the upper and lower tails of the performance scale.? A greater percentage of charter schools than district schools have PI scores of 100 or better; 8.4 percent of charters are in this high-flying category compared to 5.6 percent of district schools.? Unfortunately, the same is true for schools with PI scores of 60 or below. While only 4 percent...
Ohio has been a national leader in using value-added measures of student academic growth. The current value-added system was piloted in 2007, and in August 2008 value-added was fully integrated into Ohio's academic accountability system. Value-added analysis, in the Buckeye state, uses complex calculations to report school-wide and district-wide student academic growth in reading and math, in grades four through eight.?? Schools and districts are assigned one of three ratings:
Chart 1 shows the distribution of Ohio's public schools by overall value-added rating for the past three school years. Note the fluctuation in the percentage of schools making Above expected growth and Meeting expected growth during the last three academic years. In 2008-9, almost two-thirds of the schools in Ohio made above expected growth while in 2010-11 this number dropped to just about 1 and 4 schools. During this same period of time, the percentage of schools Meeting expected growth almost doubled from 27 percent to 59 percent. The percentage of schools Below...
Today the Ohio Department of Education releases troves of performance data about the state's public schools. Fordham once again provided quick-turnaround, city-by-city analyses of public school performance in the Buckeye state's eight major urban areas. You can read those reports here.
A few highlights about Ohio's biggest cities:
And as Jamie promised, we'll keep up the analysis through a two-week blog series in partnership with our friends at Public Impact....
The Ohio Department of Education released student achievement data for the 2010-11 school year earlier today, and the results for Dayton provide a picture of what's happening per school performance in Fordham's hometown.
The good news is that the public schools ??? both district and charter schools ??? posted academic gains in 2010-11. While just two years ago, no student in Dayton attended a public school that was rated Excellent or Excellent with Distinction, this past school year five percent of the city's students attended such a school. Further, in 2010-11, 55 percent of Dayton students attended a school rated Continuous Improvement (a C) or better, up from 36 percent in 2009-10. The percent of students in Academic Emergency (F) rated schools dropped from 36 percent in 2009-10 to just 15 percent in 2010-11. Furthermore, far fewer students in Dayton ??? in districts and charters ??? attended a D or F-rated school. And far more students in Dayton are meeting or exceeded ???expected growth??? than falling below it.??
What's driving this improvement? There seems to be at least four factors involved in these gains. First, the Dayton Public Schools' (DPS) academic reform (see here) plan is starting to bear fruit. District high school results are mostly improved from 2009-10, and two Dayton high schools ??? Stivers School for the Arts and the David H. Ponitz Career Technology Center ??? are in the top eight of all Dayton schools in terms of student performance.?? Further, the district-authorized...
Each year, the Fordham Ohio team does an analysis of urban school performance in August when statewide achievement data?are released. We've been doing this analysis for many years, reporting on the number of Ohio students in the Buckeye State's ?Big 8? districts (the largest eight urban districts) attending schools rated A-F, achieving various levels of expected growth (value-added), comparing this to students in charter schools statewide, and conducting city-by-city analyses that incorporate many different metrics.
With the help of our friends at Public Impact, we'll be doing it again this year and will be releasing various findings over the course of the next two to three weeks, so stay tuned.?
On tap this year are some new analyses, including: a comparison of performance and growth of charters by charter type (conversion v. start-up) and authorizer type (of which Ohio has many); a look at growth of schools over time (and exploring whether the recent changes to Ohio's value-added system impact how many schools end up meeting ?expected growth?); a look at performance and growth among high-poverty schools, and more.?
Stay tuned!

File this under pieces of news that confuse my emotions. Rev. Stanley Miller, executive director of the Cleveland NAACP, is leaving that post to take on an area charter school ? a very terrible one to be specific (Marcus Garvey Academy). I am equal parts inspired by this move (Rev. Miller is a 63-year old whose heart is undoubtedly in the right place) and cynical.
The school is rated F by the state. Its achievement results are lower than literally any Ohio school I recall looking up data for: across all tested and grades and subjects, 96.6 percent of students tested ?limited? in their knowledge ? the very lowest category one could achieve. Just over three percent of students scored ?basic?; none scored proficient or advanced. Is this for real?
Beyond shameful academic results, the school has been in the news constantly for poor bookkeeping ? to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. Ohio's auditor temporarily halted funding to the school last April.
And this is the school Rev. Miller wants to take on. (By the way, it seems even more tragic than normal when these kinds of schools are named after prominent African American leaders. The irony is just painful.)
According to the Plain Dealer, he's not na?ve:
Miller said he knew what he was stepping into. ?They are a school that's had some difficulties. I've been asked to come over and help fix it,? he said. ?Just because there's problems,"...

Helena Bonham Carter enjoyed herself so much, she's coming back for seconds. (Disney)
Helena Bonham Carter (Les Misérables) is set to revise her role as the Red Queen in the sequel to Alice in Wonderland, reports Variety.
James Bobin (Muppets Most Wanted) will direct the sequel, Through the Looking Glass, taking over the helm from Tim Burton who directed the remake of Lewis Carroll's story in 2010. Linda Woolverton, who wrote the screenplay for Burton's film will be making her return.
Bobin talks about taking on this project and adapting Carroll's work saying, "In England he's this incredibly influential, basically comedy writer. Lewis Carroll is known as a fantasy guy, but if you read the book as an allegory of the world or satire on the world and how it worked in those days, you can trace like Lewis Carroll to Monty Python; they're part of the same family to me," reports Collider.
Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska are signed on, but the rest of the cast has yet to be announced.
Alice in Wonderland did pretty well at the box office (understatement), taking in more than a billion dollars worldwide. A sequel was expected, so this news isn't too surprising, but it was a matter of when.
Through the Looking Glass is scheduled to hit theaters on May 27, 2016.
Bonham Carter is currently filming Suffragette opposite Carey Mulligan and Meryl Streep, which comes out on January 16, 2015. She has completed filming Cinderella, in which she plays the fairy godmother. Cinderella comes out on March 15, 2015.

Editorial: Social impact bonds are a smart way to solve old problems
An innovative approach to funding human services prevention deserves a close look in the state Legislature.
Seattle Times Editorial
STATE lawmakers interested in solving old problems in a new way should spend a few moments thumbing through Rep. Hans Zeiger's proposal to create something called "social impact bonds."
As seen in a growing number of sites around the world, social impact bonds are pay-for-performance contracts between private-sector capital funders, a human-services nonprofit and a government. The money pays for a human-service prevention program, run by the nonprofit. If the prevention works, and the state saves money, the funders get a negotiated rate of return.
In Massachusetts, Goldman Sachs agreed to help reduce prison recidivism for 929 young men by paying for education, work training and other services. New York has a similar program at its Rikers Island prison.
Zeiger, R-Puyallup, has impressive bipartisan support for his bill, HB 2337, and managed to unite the state labor union, human-services advocates and the right-leaning Washington Policy Center. It is a low-risk bill. It sets up a 14-member steering committee, tasked with finding one pilot project this year.
This is a smart approach. Government alone cannot solve social problems, and the state must direct more money into education. Wooing investors to fund proven prevention programs is a win-win.
HB 2337 is currently stuck in the House Appropriations committee. Chairman Ross Hunter, D-Medina, should give this out-of-the-box idea a hearing.

Coastliners (Paperback)
Special Order - Subject to Availability
Mado has been adrift for too long. After ten years in Paris, she returns to the small island of Le Devin, the home that has haunted her since she left.
Le Devin is shaped somewhat like a sleeping woman. At her head is the village of Les Salants, while its more prosperous rival, La Houssinière, lies at her feet. Yet even though you can walk from one to the other in an hour, they are worlds apart. And now Mado is back in Les Salants hoping to reconcile with her estranged father. But what she doesn't realize is that it is not only her father whose trust she must regain.

Melo Meets with Knicks and Lakers
Jim McIsaac/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) -- Thursday was a busy day for one of the NBA's most sought after free agents. After spending two hours meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers, Carmelo Anthony also spent time with his most recent team in the New York Knicks.
Anthony sat down with members of both team's leadership and discussed possible terms of contracts as he enters his first ever free agency period. The Lakers contingent was reportedly to include star Kobe Bryant, but the small forward was unable to get back to California in time following a family vacation in Europe. Bryant did say he planned to met with Anthony later in the day.
Following a two and a half hour meeting, Los Angeles told the small forward they would be willing to offer him maximum contract worth $96 million over four years. If Anthony chose to stay with the Knicks, he could garner a five-year deal with a $129 million price tag. New York reiterated to Anthony that he would be given such a contract if he chose to stay.
Anthony has also met with Chicago, Dallas, and Houston during this free agency period.

ESPN: Mavericks Sign Dirk Nowitzki to 3-Year Deal
NBA via Dallas Mavericks(NEW YORK) -- The greatest player to suit up for the Dallas Mavericks isn't going anywhere as, according to ESPN, the team has agreed on a three-year contract with forward Dirk Nowitzki.
The deal is expected to be in the $30 million range. ESPN also is reporting that the new deal contains a player option that would allow Nowitzki to return to free agency in the summer of 2016.
Nowitzki took a below-market value deal due to his allegiance to the team, and the team's desire to use the saved money to go after free agents such as Carmelo Anthony and Luol Deng.
Nowitzki has been with the Mavericks for 16 seasons, making his NBA debut back in 1998.
When all is said and done, Nowitzki will likely suit up for the Mavericks for the duration of his 19-year career, something rarely seen in professional sports these days.
During his NBA career, the 36-year-old Nowitzki has averaged 22.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, and led the franchise to its only NBA Championship back in 2011.

Jason Kidd Ready for New Job in Milwaukee
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Jason Kidd is moving on from last season with the Brooklyn Nets. The Milwaukee Bucks introduced Kidd on Wednesday and Kidd did not mention the team once during his press conference.
"This is business. I think [Nets general manager] Billy [King] said it best," Kidd said with a grin. "It's business, and that's what it comes down to."
"When you're a player, you're gonna be criticized. And as a coach, you're gonna be criticized even more because it's about wins and losses," Kidd continued. "And so for me it's being able to get better as a coach."
"I'm still a young coach and I've still got a lot to learn about coaching and I want to surround myself with guys like [Bucks GM] John [Hammond] and [owners] Wes [Edens] and Marc [Lasry] and be able to learn from them," he added. "I'm excited about this opportunity. Today is all about Milwaukee and I'll be criticized about why [Ersan] Ilyasova didn't take the game-winning shot. It just comes with the territory and we move forward."
Kidd also said he's looking forward to teaching a young roster, which includes Jabari Parker.
"It's not about the market. It's about being able to teach, and I have a great opportunity in Milwaukee with a young roster. Our goal is to become a championship team, and having this opportunity with Milwaukee, I'm very excited about it," Kidd said. "I've played in small markets, I've played in big markets, basketball is inside the arena. It doesn't recognize what market you're in. It's about wins and losses. That's the way I approach it."
Kidd was traded to the Bucks after requesting the right to speak with other teams. The deal is worth $15 million for three years, according to ESPN.com.
The Nets received two second round draft picks for him. The team also retired Kidd's No. 5 jersey this past season.

Marcin Gortat Agrees to Five-Year Deal with Wizards
Brian A. Westerholt/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Marcin Gortat will be staying in Washington after he agreed to a new five-year deal worth $60 million with the Wizards on Tuesday.
"I'm proud to say Washington will be my home," Gortat posted to his twitter account on Tuesday.
Gortat was one of the top targets to bring back for Washington and both sides met earlier in the week to discuss his future with the team.
The deal can't officially be signed until July 10 when the league moratorium is lifted.
Gortat was huge for the Wizards off the bench this past season, averaging 13.2 points and 9.5 rebounds.
The Wizards made the playoffs for the first time since 2008. They'll shift their attention now to re-signing forward Trevor Ariza.

Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Things have gotten quite interesting for the Milwaukee Bucks in the past week. The latest development, according to ESPN, is that the Bucks will send a 2015 and 2019 2nd round pick to nab coaching rights to Jason Kidd.
This is quite a surprise considering this time a year ago, the Nets had just hired Kidd to coach the team after he retired from playing in the NBA.
The move was seen at the time as a surprise because Kidd had zero coaching experience at any level, and was handed the job for a Nets team expected to contend right away due to their veteran roster.
The Nets struggled right off the bat, but managed to finish with a 44-38 record and won their first-round playoff series.
But Kidd reportedly demanded to become the team's President of Basketball Operations, and the team wasn't willing to give him so much power with so much inexperience.
This past season, the Bucks finished with the worst record in the NBA at 15-67. The team was fortunate enough to draft former Duke star Jabari Parker with the second overall pick in last week's draft.

ESPN: Raptors, Hawks Agree to Swap John Salmons and Lou Williams
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(NBA) -- With NBA free agency less than 24 hours away, ESPN is reporting that the Toronto Raptors and Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a trade that would send John Salmons to the Hawks and Lou Williams to the Raptors.
ESPN.com is reporting that the Hawks will waive Salmons and pay him only $1 million as opposed to paying him $7 million this upcoming season.
The Hawks are clearing up cap space so they can be more aggressive in free agency as well as ensure future flexibility with the cap.
The Hawks are projected to now have $15.5 million in cap space, enough to make a move this offseason to upgrade the roster.
The 34-year-old Salmons has played 12 NBA seasons, and spent just one season with the Raptors where he averaged 5.0 points in 60 games this past season.
Meanwhile Williams, 27, is a nine-year NBA veteran who specializes in being the main scoring option off the bench. This past season he averaged 10.4 points per game.
Williams and Salmons were teammates together on the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2005-2006 season.

Jason Kidd Allowed to Talk with Bucks
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- After helping to turn the Brooklyn Nets season around and reach the playoffs, Jason Kidd's future with the team is uncertain. Reports surfaced late Saturday night that the first year head coach could be on his way out of the Big Apple and headed to Milwaukee.
Sources confirmed a report from the New York Post that Kidd was allowed to speak with the Bucks after his request for a promotion was denied by Nets ownership. Kidd reportedly asked for personnel decisions to be added to his duties in addition to his coaching as well as part ownership. Milwaukee then asked, and was granted, permission to talk with Kidd about leaving Brooklyn.
Negotiations were said to be far enough along that the two sides were discussing compensation for the Nets when Kidd was hired away. Milwaukee, which already has a coach and general manager under contract, was purchased by Marc Lasry and Wes Edens earlier this year. Lasry was once a part-time owner of the Nets when Kidd was playing for the franchise, and was even a financial adviser to the former point guard.
Should they need a new coach, sources say Brooklyn has shown interest in Mark Jackson, Lionel Simmons, and George Karl among others. In his first season as an NBA head coach, Kidd went 44-38 after a 10-21 start. Brooklyn reached the playoffs for a second straight year before being ousted by the Miami Heat in the second round.

Report: Dwayne Wade and Udonis Haslem Opt Out of their Contracts
Chris Trotman/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The Big 3 just might be sticking together after all. According to reports, guard Dwyane Wade, and forward Udonis Haslem have opted out of their contracts and will become free agents.
On the surface, this might spell gloom and doom for Heat fans, but these moves could allow the team re-sign Lebron James, Chris Bosh, Wade, and possibly another high-level free agent.
Haslem is likely to re-sign with with the Heat, but on a more team-friendly deal. He was due to make $4.62 million next season.
The 34-year-old Haslem has spent his entire 11-year career, and has won three championships during his tenure in South Beach.
Wade is also a career member of the Heat organization. He's been with the team since they drafted him sixth overall back in 2003, the same year they selected Haslem.

Doug McDermott Ready to Prove He Belongs in the NBA
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- There may not have been a more polarizing player in the NBA Draft than former Creighton forward Doug McDermott. Now a member of the Chicago Bulls, he's out to prove he can be a productive NBA player as many doubt he's not ready for the next level.
"A lot of people label me as just a spot up shooter, but I think that I'm a lot more than that," McDermott said. "I feel like I can put the ball on the floor and come off of screens really well, so I've been working on that a lot."
McDermott is one of the greatest scorers in NCAA history. In his senior season, he led the nation in scoring at 26.7 points per game. His scoring average went up each of his collegiate seasons.
The Denver Nuggets originally selected McDermott 11th overall, but his rights were drafted to the Bulls.

Sixers Roll the Dice on Center Joel Embiid
Cooper Neil/Getty Images(PHILADELPHIA) -- For the third-straight year, the Philadelphia 76ers are bringing in a center who very well could sit out for the entire season. With the third pick in Thursday night's NBA Draft, the team selected former Kansas center Joel Embiid.
Once considered to be the number one overall prospect in the draft, Embiid fell to third because he recently underwent surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right foot.
That injury, along with a back issue, could keep the talented big man out of action his entire rookie season.
"For my back injury, it hurt me. But I saw the doctors and they said I was going to be fine," Embiid said after getting drafted. "And unfortunately this foot injury happened a week before the draft. But I believe in God and God knew what he was doing, I've always said that and I'm going to just keep praising him."
During his lone season at Kansas, Embiid dominated opponents. He averaged 11.2 points and 8.1 rebounds while blocking 72 shots.
Last season, the 76ers selected center Nerlens Noel, who sat out the entire season as he recovered from a torn ACL.

NBA Selects Isaiah Austin in 2014 Draft
Mike Stobe/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- In an emotional moment, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced that former Baylor star Isaiah Austin was drafted by the league during Thursday night's draft. Austin, who was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome last weekend, was forced to give up his dream of playing in the NBA, so the draft announcement was ceremonial.
Marfan syndrome effects the connective tissue within the body that can cause severe damage to the heart. The illness was discovered as part of Austin's physical in preparation for the draft.
"For Commissioner Silver to even invite me here was a tremendous blessing and it just shows how much class that man has," Austin said. "It's really been a tough week for me, and it's been really rough. I've just had a tremendous amount of support from everybody around the world, telling me they're praying for me and everything."
Austin averaged 13 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game in 35 contests with Baylor. The 7'1" forward also revealed this year that he was playing with a prosthetic right eye after multiple surgeries to repair a detached retina suffered years ago proved to be unsuccessful.

Bulls Trade for McDermott
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- In the first of many anticipated moves, the Chicago Bulls traded to get former Creighton star Doug McDermott at the NBA Draft on Thursday night. The Bulls gave up both of their first-round picks to get the sharp-shooting forward.
McDermott was drafted by the Denver Nuggets, who also get Anthony Randolph and a future second-rounder with the 11th overall pick. Chicago originally held the 16th and 19th overall picks, selecting Jusuf Nurkic and Gary Harris before the deal.
McDermott was the consensus player of the year in college basketball this past season, averaging 26.7 points per game and shooting over fifty percent from the field. The 6'7" forward also shot 45 percent from three-point range as a senior, finishing fifth all-time on the NCAA scoring chart with 3,150 points.
Chicago was the lowest scoring team in the NBA in 2013-14, scoring 93.7 points per game while shooting just 33.3 percent from downtown. The Bulls are expected to be a top destination for free agent forward Carmelo Anthony, and they're hopeful the acquisition of McDermott boosts their odds.

ESPN: Rockets Agree to Send Center Omer Asik to the Pelicans
Jed Jacbson/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- In a move that very well could be a win for both teams, the Houston Rockets have agreed to send center Omer Asik to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for a 2015 first-round draft pick.
Asik is set to make $15 million next season, and now the Rockets have more salary cap space to work with in order to land a max-level free agent like Carmelo Anthony and Lebron James.
Askik is an elite rim protector who struggled to find playing time behind center Dwight Howard. This past season, Asik averaged just 20.2 minutes per game, but averaged 5.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game.
The Pelicans dealt with a slew of injuries this past season, but do have an emerging star in forward/center Anthony Davis. The team can now pair Davis with a proven center, and should have one of the better defensive front-courts in the NBA next season.
The draft pick included in the deal is protected. It will go to the Rockets if it falls between picks 4-19. Last season, the Pelicans traded their first round pick (the sixth overall pick) to the Philadelphia 76ers for point guard Jrue Holiday.

Knicks Agree to Send Center Tyson Chandler to the Mavericks
NBA via New York Knicks(NEW YORK) -- Tyson Chandler is heading back to the Mavericks as the New York Knicks and Dallas have agreed on a six-player trade with Chandler as the center piece.
The trade would sent Chandler and point guard Raymond Felton to the Mavericks in exchange for point guards Jose Calderon and Shane Larkin along with guard Wayne Ellington, center Samuel Dalembert, and two second-round picks in Thursday night's draft.
Chandler played for the Mavericks during the 2010-2011 season -- the season they won their one and only NBA Championship.
"The journey to build this team for the upcoming season and beyond continues," Knicks executive Phil Jackson said in the announcement. "We have added players with this move that will fit right in to our system while maintaining future flexibility."
This move will help Dallas pursue top free agents such as Carmelo Anthony and Lebron James.
For the Knicks, it provides future flexibility, young players, and draft picks, which is something the Knicks haven't had much of in recent years.

Bucks Owner Says Team Won't Draft Center Joel Embiid
Cooper Neil/Getty Images(MILWAUKEE) -- With the recent foot injury to center Joel Embiid, the top of the draft underwent a major shakeup. Once in the running for the number one pick, Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry says the team, which owns the second overall pick, will not take a gamble on him.
"I think it's hard to take Embiid," Lasry said Monday at a joint breakfast meeting of the region's Rotary Club and the Milwaukee Press Club. "I think he's a phenomenal individual, but with the injury and not knowing how severe or long it will take to recover, I think for us today we're going to want somebody who's going to help us on day one."
Last week it was revealed that Embiid needed foot surgery, a procedure that could keep him out of action his entire rookie year.
The Bucks are now expected to select either Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker.

Lebron James Opts out of Contract, Set for Free Agency
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Here we go again. Lebron James' agent, Rich Paul, has informed the Miami Heat that James will opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
While NBA fans may be salivating at the idea of landing arguably the best player in the NBA, opting out of his deal does not necessarily mean he will leave the Heat.
James had until June 30 to opt out of the final two years of his deal. He had $42.7 million remaining on his deal.
A four-time NBA MVP, James is one of the most transcendent players in the NBA and all of sports. In 11 NBA seasons, James has averaged 27.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game.
James spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He infamously chose to play for the Heat during the summer of 2010.
Now 29, James went to four-consecutive Finals with the Heat, and won two titles.

Carmelo Anthony Opts Out
Jim McIsaac/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- New York Knicks small forward Carmelo Anthony has informed the team that he will opt out of the final year of his contract and become a free agent. Anthony, who had hinted towards the decision during the regular season, will be able to negotiate with any team on July 1.
Anthony has the ability to sign a maximum contract worth $96 million over five years with any team outside of the Knicks. Should he choose to resign with New York, the small forward could command a max deal worth $129 million.
Sources close to Anthony say the Chicago Bulls are one team that he would consider playing for. Among others that could garner his services are the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks. ESPN.com reported earlier in June that the Miami Heat have also inquired about signing Anthony. Meanwhile, Knicks president Phil Jackson had expressed his hope that Anthony would "opt in" to the final year of his deal and test free agency in 2015.
New York went 37-45 this past season, led by Anthony's 27.4 points per game. Should he leave, Anthony would become the fifth player in the last 30 years to change teams after averaging more than 27 points that year and the first to do so since LeBron James.

You may remember Krumb Snatcha from Gang Starr's quotable "Make Em Pay" off the Moment Of Truth LP Or you may remember last years' Snatcha Season EP, featuring the wonderfully DJ Premier produced anti-guns anthem "Closer To God". Bringing it back in '99, Krumb delivers some of his most solid material yet, most notably, "Killer In Me" which features him ripping shit over a dope array of sampled violins. "Take The Pain Away" is something I haven't heard in hip-hop for a long while, as Krumb attacks domestic violence, while at the same time trying to steal shorty away. Production is very reminiscent of Premier on this one, but still sounds good, without sounding like too much of a bite. And, while "Thug In Your Life" wins for corniest title of the year, it actually turns out pretty good. While the lyrics are aimed at the ladies, the track is some ol' pimp isht, and will probably work as the soundtrack for underground heads' seductions across the globe.

Girl-next-door football star, 11, booted out of Catholic league after archdiocese enforces 'discriminatory' boys-only rule
An 11-year-old football star has been forced out of playing in her Junior Varsity Catholic Youth Organization after the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, which runs the league, enforced its 'boys only' rule.
Caroline Pla has been playing football since kindergarten, and for the past two years she has been an All-Star guard and defensive end. She was the only girl playing in the CYO out of the nearly 2,500 players.
The Archdiocese claims it wasn't aware that she had been playing for two years and when it found out invoked a rule in the CYO handbook which states that because football is a full-contact sport – no girls are allowed.
Caroline Pla, 11, has been forced out of a Catholic football league in Philadelphia after the archdiocese who runs the league enforced it's 'boys only' rule
'I was mad,' Caroline told CNN. 'Just really mad that we don't get the same opportunity as boys just because we're not a boy.
'Not only am I not going to be able to play, but girls all over aren't going to be able to sign up,' she said. 'And I don't think that's fair.'
Caroline's family believe the rule is outdated and have approached the archdiocese to ask them to reconsider.
After calls and e-mails were
unsuccessful, Seal Pla, Caroline's mom launched an online petition at
change.org to encourage the archdiocese to allow girls to play football.
Her original goal was to get 100 signatures, but she now has more than 100,000.
Caroline's plight also caught the attention of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
One of the boys: Caroline has been voted an all-star in the league due to her impressive performances
Sporting her navy and gold football jersey on set, Caroline won over the crowd during her appearance last month.
When asked whether she's gotten hurt, she said: "I've never really gotten hurt, but I have hurt people."
Though Caroline, who is a 5-foot-3, 110-pound sixth-grader, has never been hurt the archdiocese claims its decision is about her safety.
'Traditionally, football is a boys only sport due to its full contact nature. Most parents and players have preferred this; some now disagree. An archdiocesan panel of coaches, parents, pastors and experts in the sports medicine and pediatrics fields will evaluate the current rule.
'Calls for an immediate change in the policy are premature and unwise without adequate consultation, especially given the potential safety issues involved,' Archdiocese of Philadelphia spokesman Kenneth A. Gavin said in a statement.
Sporting her navy and gold football jersey, Caroline charmed the crowd during her appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show last month
The panel selected by the archdiocese is expected to issue a decision on the boys-only rule by mid-March.
has even written to Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput, who is due
to have the final say after the panel makes their recommendation.
He replied to Caroline saying he was 'perplexed' that she wrote to him only after going to the media.
'I admire your love of the game, Caroline, and I'm impressed by your zeal in pursuing the opportunity to play it,' he wrote.
Caroline's parents have been supportive of her fight to get reinstated into the CYO league
'At the same time, it's important to understand that pressure is not a good way of showing respect for dedicated people who are simply fulfilling their duty to protect young people in sports.'
While the Archbishop appears to is unhappy at the exposure Caroline's case has received in the media, the Plas family claim they their initial request to the archdiocese was ignored.
Caroline says the current ruling discriminates against her because she is a girl and she isn't about to give up her fight just yet.
'I was just really surprised that we're not allowed to play because we're girls,' said Caroline said.
'They say it's a safety issue, but I don't get that because it's not just a safety issue for us; it's a safety issue for anybody that goes on to the field.'

Kentucky wouldn't have a chance at beating the 76ers
Tweet Wednesday, Eric Bledsoe said the Kentucky Wildcats would beat the Philadelphia 76ers in a seven-game series. His exact words were, "I'm definitely taking Kentucky, I think Philly would probably get maybe one game." Regardless of how bad the 76ers are, they are still a professional basketball team. Their players were the cream of the crop in college, or overseas, before...

Eric Bledsoe the latest to say Kentucky Wildcats could beat NBA team
The Kentucky Wildcats are great. No one's disputing that.

For once, there should be consensus in the great blame game that inevitably follows Warriors losses. This one is LeBron's fault. After a sluggish and sloppy first half, the Warriors made the necessary adjustments and roared back to life against the Wade-less Heat. With the game on the line, the Warriors matched the Heat stop for stop, and Stephen Curry matched LeBron James shot for shot — until the last one. Against tight defense by Andre Iguodala, James cooly sank a fade-away three-pointer from 25-plus feet, then strolled down the sideline as if he hadn't just singlehandedly crushed the dreams of the nearly 20,000 people screaming at him seconds earlier. Decades from now, when the topic of LeBron James comes up, I'll stare off into the distance, think about shots like that one, shake my head and say "if only you could have seen him play."

The Awfulness of Everything (Warriors 75, Bobcats 91)
Critic Nathan Rabin has a category of films he calls "crappy miracles." Actually, he calls them something else, but this is a family blog. In bad movies, Rabin explains, "something goes awry." But in a crappy miracle, "everything goes awry. It's not a matter of one sorry element dragging the rest down; it's every terrible component amplifying the awfulness of everything else." The Warriors' 75-91 home loss to the Charlotte Bobcats wasn't just a bad performance — pretty much everything went awry. For a team as talented as the Warriors to struggle so badly in all aspects of its game isn't just an accident or an off-night, it's something more purposefully horrific. Or, as Rabin would characterize it, "the perfect storm of bad ideas and miscalculation."
Inverted (Warriors 111, Clippers 92)
The Warriors' win over the Clippers on Thursday was as beautiful as Tuesday's loss to the Wizards was ugly. Stagnation was replaced with fluidity. Sluggishness swapped out for fast breaks. Long-range jump shots largely bypassed in favor of point-blank dunks. Curry, Lee and Bogut were all unstoppable in their individual ways. We've seen too many let-down performances like Tuesday's loss to declare the team that dominated the Clippers at both ends to be the "true" Warriors. But if this team continues to play up to their toughest opponents, it bodes well for the type of performance we can hope for come late April.
Magical Thinking (Warriors 85, Wizards 88)
On Tuesday night, the Warriors had the same number of assists as turnovers. The other six times this season they've earned that dubious distinction — or even worse, had more turnovers than assists — they've lost. Tuesday's match-up against the Wizards was no exception. Contrasting the Warriors' assists to turnovers isn't an advanced statistic, but it's a telling one for the best and worst qualities of this team. When they move the ball, they score points in rapturous waves. When things stagnate, the offense feels as elegant as someone rolling a boulder uphill. When they value possessions, they mount massive runs. When they give the ball away with unforced errors, they struggle to gain separation on even mediocre teams. The theme that ties it all together is discipline. The game against Washington only showed a lack thereof.
Stingy (Warriors 103, Blazers 88)
Jung once observed that "often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain." On Sunday night against the NBA's highest scoring team, the Warriors' didn't think their way out of their recent defensive struggles. Instead, they used their hands (and their arms, feet, bulk and quickness). There was no radical strategic adjustment to get back on track. The Warriors just worked harder. That said, the coaching staff's intellect will be tested soon enough in finding a way to capture that intensity every night — not just in statement games against back-to-back-weary opponents.
Not Yet (Warriors 94, Pacers 102)
To be a championship-level team, you need more than a few hot minutes. You need quarter after quarter of consistently excellent basketball, game after game through the slog of the NBA's 82-game season. The Warriors jumped out to a hot start on offense against the Indiana Pacers, but showed nowhere near the same intensity on defense. With little resistance from the Warriors, the Pacers gained momentum on their way to a 35-point first quarter (shooting 64% from the field). And while the Warriors' defense continued to coast, the Pacers' defense locked down. By the time Jackson turned to his still-anemic bench in the middle of the first quarter, the Warriors offense had completely derailed. The Pacers held the Warriors scoreless for the final 4:25 of the quarter. What had started so encouragingly ended with the thud of a 14-point deficit, echoing through a silenced Oracle Arena.
Full Time Full Squad (Warriors 97, Pelicans 87)
Over the last few Warriors' losses, it wasn't hard to discern Andrew Bogut's frustration. On Saturday night, finally given the opportunity to close out the game and to log his highest minute count in over a month, Bogut took out his frustration on any Pelican player within 8 feet of the basket. Blocking shots, snatching rebounds and generally owning the paint, Bogut held the Warriors together while they struggled through a rough night at the offensive end. The team's performance may not have been pretty, but it's exactly the type of win the Warriors needed following a week of lackluster defense.
Cause and Effect (Warriors 116, Nuggets 123)
For all the talk about how successful the Warriors' starters have been, Mark Jackson sure wasn't anxious to play them together in the final 18 minutes of the Warriors' ugly 116-123 loss to the Denver Nuggets. The Curry/Thompson/Iguodala/Lee/Bogut combo played a total of 1:28 together during the final quarter and a half (they were +4 for that brief stretch). And for all of Jackson's talk about being a defensive-minded basketball team, Jackson chose offense over defense with the game on the line, playing his two best defenders (Bogut and Green) for a combined total of 33 seconds in the game's final 6 minutes. So while it may be frustrating that the Warriors gave up easy baskets on blown pick-and-roll defense and were out-rebounded on crucial second-chance opportunities, it's far from surprising.
A Dead Horse (Warriors 98, Nets 102)
The Warriors' starters have been playing so well during this win streak that Wednesday's trip-concluding match-up with the hot Brooklyn Nets felt like a very winnable game. Had a call gone differently, or a turnover been averted, or a few missed free throws been made, it might have been a win. But ultimately reality caught up with the Warriors. There are only so many minutes you can play in a limited period of time before things start to break down. The starters gave a tremendous effort, and very nearly pulled it off. Their ceiling remains tremendously high. It's the sustainability — until the Warriors find some sort of bench support — that worries me.
The New Routine (Warriors 101, Bucks 80)
The Warriors have a 10-game win streak because they've found a way to match some of the best teams in the NBA, but also because they've found a way to consistently dispose of some of the worst teams. Gone, thankfully, are the listless stretches from earlier in the season, where they seemed to play down to their competition in anticipation of a fourth quarter run. Against the lowly Bucks, the Warriors got a feel for their opponent in the first half, then struck quickly and devastatingly in the third quarter. Lackluster play from the bench in garbage time remains a concern, but at least the Warriors are giving themselves a wide margin for error.

US construction spending down 1.7 percent in March
Spending on U.S. construction projects fell in March as the biggest drop in government projects in more than a decade overwhelmed strength in home building.
AP Economics Writer
Spending on U.S. construction projects fell in March as the biggest drop in government projects in more than a decade overwhelmed strength in home building.
The Commerce Department says construction spending fell 1.7 percent in March, compared with February. It marked the second decline in the past three months. January activity plunged a record 4 percent, which represented a downward revision from a previous estimate of a 2.1 percent decline.
Even with the recent weakness, construction activity was 4.8 percent higher in March than a year ago at a seasonally adjusted $856.7 billion.
For March, private residential construction rose 0.4 percent, the only major sector showing a gain. Government construction activity fell 4.1 percent, the biggest drop since March 2002, while private nonresidential building was down 1.5 percent.

Supervisors reject plans for Crooked Letter brewery
Published: June 19,2012
Tags: alcohol, beer, board of supervisors, brew, brewery, county government, permit, supervisor
VANCLEAVE — Jackson County supervisors have rejected plans for a brewery in Vancleave.
The owners of Crooked Letter Brewing Co. had sought a special exception permit to brew beer in Vancleave.
In April, the county's planning commission voted to give Wanda and Paul Blacksmith a special exception to build a brewing barn to manufacture beer on their property. Some nearby residents and church leaders appealed to the board of supervisors, saying alcohol production in a residential community can only cause trouble.
Paul Blacksmith says there would be no drinking at the proposed brewery, not even samples.
The Blacksmiths own 13 acres, and wanted to utilize two acres to build a 50- by 50-foot barn to house the beer-making equipment. They expected to employ up to 15 people.

Police have interviewed staff from Government intelligence agencies in regard to Kim Dotcom and are due to complete an interim report on Wednesday.
Green Party co-leader Russel Norman laid an official complaint with police over the Government Communication and Security Bureau's (GCSB) illegal spying on the internet millionaire.
A letter sent to Norman last Thursday, from Detective Superintendent Peter Read, said police had spoken to all Organised Financial Crime Agency of New Zealand (Ofcanz) staff who had dealt with GCSB.
"They have also interviewed a number of employees from other government agencies who were asked to provide advice of information to Ofcanz investigators.
"Read said he was expecting to receive an interim report on Wednesday.
It would take some time before a final report could be made.
A spokeswoman for Norman said he was not expecting to hear anything further until possibly next month.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister John Key is standing by his assertion that he knew nothing of the German-born tech millionaire until the day before his arrest.
Dotcom, who is battling extradition to the US on internet piracy charges, yesterday accused Key of lying - and said he will prove it in court.
Key has maintained his first he learned of the German entrepreneur was on January 19, when he was briefed about a joint FBI-New Zealand Police raid on his Coatesville mansion.
Speaking on his way to the East Asia Summit in Cambodia, Key said Dotcom is "just plain wrong".
"I've always said, to the best of my recollection, the first I ever heard of the guy was January 19.
"My office have extensively looked at the meetings I've held, the correspondence I've had both in my electorate office and my parliamentary office and I've seen nothing to conflict that view.
"I have no doubt that he'll try and draw one and one together and he'll get three, as he has in the past - this is a guy who has publicly made quite a few statements that have been proven to be incorrect.''
Opponents have met his denials with incredulity because Dotcom's home - believed to be the country's most expensive property - is in Key's Helensville electorate. Tradesman and neighbours had approached his constituency office with various issues relating to the wealthy immigrant - but Key says his staff didn't pass them on.
Dotcom also paid for an enormous fireworks party over Auckland harbour to welcome in the New Year.
And the entrepreneur also came to the attention of his then-justice minister Simon Power and land information minister Maurice Williamson with an application to the Overseas Investment Office to buy the sprawling mansion. Power rejected the bid - because Dotcom was convicted of offences in Hong Kong and failed the good character test.
And the country's foreign spooks, the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) began surveillance on Dotcom last year. Key is the minister responsible for the spy agency. It later emerged their activities were illegal.
Dotcom was also a friend of ACT leader and small business minister John Banks - who lunched at the mansion and was a birthday party guest. Dotcom helped fund Banks' bid to be mayor - but his donations landed Banks in hot water, when they were registered as anonymous gifts.
Dotcom said yesterday that Key is "running naked and telling people he has clothes on. Everyone can see he's naked...I know for a fact that John Key knew before January 19 and it's going to be a topic in our court hearing.''
He believes that if his legal team can show the government had an active role in the operation and the extradition process, the courts may throw out the case.
But Key insisted: "He's saying the government is playing some very active role outside of the extradition treaty being invoked, I think that's completely fanciful and not true.''
