The New York Times (7/22/14) didn't mince words in its editorial on the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17: "Whoever unleashed a lethal missile not knowing how to distinguish between a military and a civilian plane is not only irresponsible and stupid, but a war criminal."
That seems pretty unequivocal. But if you look at the New York Times' archives, you'll see that some people who unleash lethal missiles without knowing how to distinguish between military and civilian planes aren't irresponsible, stupid or criminal–they're just doing what they had to do. Of course, if you're going to shoot down a civilian jetliner–from the Times' point of view–it helps to be working for the US Navy when you do it.
When the Navy shot down Iran Air 655 over the Persian Gulf in 1988, killing all 290 people on board (Extra!, 7/88), the Times editorial (7/5/88) insisted that "while horrifying, it was nonetheless an accident. On present evidence, it's hard to see what the Navy could have done to avoid it."
Far from denouncing Will Rogers, the captain of the USS Vincennes that brought down the passenger plane, as "irresponsible and stupid," let alone a "war criminal," the Times invited readers to "put yourself in Captain Rogers' shoes." He "had little choice," the paper assured. "It is hard to fault his decision to attack the suspect plane."
Bear in mind that this is not one of the ragtag separatists the Times points to in the Malaysia Airlines case–so unsophisticated that the Times suspects they must have had outside help to learn how to use a surface-to-air missile. Rogers was a high-ranking professional military officer who had at his command the finest surveillance and computer technology that the Cold War produced. Still, it's his "not knowing how to distinguish between a military and a civilian plane," not the separatists', that the Times finds easy to empathize with.
Has the Times just grown less forgiving over the years? Well, not really. A few years before the downing of Flight 655, the Times published a blistering editorial (9/2/83) about the Soviet Union shooting down Korean Airlines Flight 007. "There is no conceivable excuse for any nation shooting down a harmless airliner," it began.
Yet the Times was able to conceive of excuses when a certain other nation shot down a harmless airliner. Perhaps the editorialists don't know what the word "conceivable" means.
The Times was dismissive of Russian President Vladimir Putin's efforts to deflect responsibility about Flight 17. "Mr. Putin also sought to transfer blame to Ukraine, saying the tragedy would not have happened if Kiev had maintained a cease-fire. And he sanctimoniously declared 'no one has the right to use this tragedy to pursue their own political goals.'"
But Putin's effort to blame an enemy state for its continued belligerence sounds a lot like the New York Times in 1988. The paper first said that if Navy rules that allow its ships to shoot first can't be "prudently altered," then "the onus for avoiding such accidents in the future rests on civilian aircraft." (One tip offered by the Times: "avoid combat zones," a suggestion not offered by the paper in the wake of the Malaysia Airlines disaster.)
But the best prospect for avoiding similar tragedies in the future would be "Teheran's willingness to bring an end to its futile eight-year war with Iraq." Note that that war began when Saddam Hussein invaded Iran in 1980–and that the Vincennes was in the Persian Gulf to defend Iraqi oil shipments as part of the United States' intervention on Hussein's side. One might almost say that the Times was using the Iran Air tragedy to pursue the United States' political ends.
You don't have to go back to 1988 to find examples of the Times' hypocrisy, though. For the editorialists, Putin pointing to Ukraine's failure to maintain a ceasefire was a cynical effort to "transfer blame." The New York Times editorial (7/18/14) after four children were killed by Israeli bombing on a beach in Gaza closed with this:
Without a political strategy, another cease-fire may be the most anyone can hope for at this moment. But Hamas leaders have rejected one proposed in the past week by Egypt and are demanding better terms. Meanwhile, Palestinian civilians suffer the consequences.

America has experienced partisan dissention for years. The difference that I can see i the lack of respect our candidates get from the media. The media is now owned by Corporations and the free press/internet is a thing of the past.
Most of us in California knew that the Kennedy Brothers (President and A.G.) could be found on the beach in Santa Monica at Lady Lawford's house cavorting with beautiful beach bunnies.
The office of the President was respected by the media and we all looked the other way at the partying,. We have a different America at this time where sex has become a moral guide for all Americans. Today, a hetero fling is just a step above a homo fling and sets off the religious right into a potential inquisition.
It is now up to the Candidate to provide proof that they are straight, do not believe in evolution and attend a Christian church. That's all the voters want. The debates are written around this uber Christian attitude and it is now oozing down into the Congress. We overlook the Ministers and Priests who have broken their oaths and vows and we turn away in embarrassment.
Our political campaigns thrive on lies and slander. I know of one young lady who spends hours searching the internet for lies about Liberals. She is a devout Christian and feels it is her duty to expose liberals to all the filth that comes from her mind. I see evil in this attitude and zero respect for American values. Hers are Christian values based on threats from a higher power.
We can return to respect for the White House, but it starts in the home. It starts with individual freedoms that are based on respect. In my travels outside the USA I heard terrible things about Bush. My daughter put her finger to her mouth to warn me not to agree. She was right and I kept my mouth shut. When one feels disrespect for any President it takes control to ignore it.

The ARMSmasters Project is an animated adventure being developed by animators in Michigan and we'd love your help to finish its pilot.
About this project
We've reached our goal with hours to spare! We love and appreciate everyone who has come through and are so thankful and honored to have this faith placed in us. We're making moves to put this property in front of the right people and to finish our animated efforts so please continue to stay posted. There's still just ver 48 hrs left to get involved! Please continue to send your pledges in as exceeding our bare minimum goals will enable us to do that much more. Thanks again!
The ARMSmasters Crew
"It was the height of an Age of Glories, when magic was common place and adventure beckoned. Hand in hand, we embarked on a journey to change the world… Now, at last, our story can be told."
ROUND 2: New Goal!!! Hello everyone! We've returned to Kickstarter with an altered goal! Please read below and thank you!
Hello and welcome to the Kickstarter page for The ARMSmasters Project!!
ARMSmasters is inspired by action anime, western superhero animations and comics, manga and gaming. It explores the relationships and dynamics of a group of characters as they rely on one another to survive thrilling adventures in a world where magic Is a common thing and superhuman warriors dot the landscape and engage in mythic deeds. Action, drama and humor are all elements here and we know that there will be something in The ARMSmasters Project for everyone.
In 2010 I founded Alpha Omega Animation Design out of a group of select upcoming and successful artists who were fellow graduates from The College for Creative Studies. It was our desire to focus our efforts on creating new intellectual properties and since then we've utilized our talent and resources to try and polish our presentations to the best it can possibility be with an aim to get it in front of the right audiences and truly share this world, the first of many, that we've been developing.
Our end goal is to produce a fully realized animated teaser of approximately 3 to 5 minutes in length for the purpose of submission to film festivals as a short animated film and to anchor our efforts at presenting ARMSmasters to interested parties.
With your generous pledge we will be able to bring on board the talent we need to attend to issues of original music, voice actors and artists and animators. Student aid as well as the generous assistance of industry professionals will be used to bring ARMSmasters to its full potential as a vibrant hand drawn animated piece.
We are very excited to have come this far and we can't wait to be able to share our collective artistic efforts and the vision of this world to you. You can follow our progress by visiting:
Thank you for your time!
Right now a lot depends on our ability to reach our funding goals but we are always looking to make contact with other industry professionals and new contacts who are part of this field. Ultimately we will have need of many different character voices and we are busy building our portfolio of available voice over artists and musicians and animation artists as well so please don't hesitate to contact us. When the time is right we will do audition packets and reach out to those we have need of but our ability to hit or exceed our funding ceiling will have a direct impact on just how much we can or cannot do.
Essentially we are aiming for a much lower ceiling in order to help us turn our original teaser (posted above) into a much longer and more polished teaser trailer to submit to film festivals and anchor any pitches we have with possible investors and networks for a longer show or film. Our original funding drive was seeking to complete a much longer 'pilot' that would have been around 10 minutes in length with appropriate levels of narrative, voice acting, lip synch and more. The reduction in our ambitions will enable us to produce a tight, straight to the point, action adventure piece and properly utilize our existing assets.
Several who are involved in The ARMSmasters Project are also art educators. We have provided animation camps, worked in community arts partnerships and held art camps for under privileged young people as well as taught at college preparatory levels and at the college level. Any student aid we bring aboard will receive exposure to the full development process for animation and have an opportunity to lay hands on and gain actual experience with professional work.

We've written and rehearsed our original songs! Now help us record our EP (short album) professionally at Seaside Lounge studios!
About this project
Thanks for visiting our page! We're so excited about this project and we hope you are too. These talented young musicians are ready to take their music to the masses, and you can help.
Our approach to music here at The Smith School* is not like other schools. In addition to learning theory and technique, we focus on student-led composition and experiential learning. Students are encouraged to follow their musical interests, and they are given the tools to craft the sounds they want to create; from rock to jazz to electronic music we strive to foster creativity, originality and above all, free expression.
The students here have been hard at work writing some amazing original music as part of a year-long composition project. They're ready for the big leagues, but it's expensive to record professionally. Our proposal is to raise $1000 to take the intermediate/advanced music students to a recording studio for two days to record and mix an EP of their original music. This budget includes the cost of two full studio days (10 hours each... recording is time-consuming!) with an experienced recording engineer who is eager to show the students all of the aspects of music production. It will also include the cost of mastering the songs, and printing a short run of physical copies. The music students will coordinate with the art students to design the album cover and artwork.
Writing songs is only the beginning; there are many steps to getting your music out into the world, and by participating in this project, the students will learn a great deal about the process.
* The Smith school is a small private school on Manhattan's Upper West Side that serves the needs of students who historically have not succeeded in a more traditional school environment. We offer small classes and individualized attention and have an extremely diverse population. Our teachers, staff and parents work together to create a safe, family-like environment for our students and always strive to live up to The Smith School's maxim, "Small School. Big Heart."

Taxation in the United States |
Proposition 13 (officially named the People's Initiative to Limit Property Taxation) was an amendment of the Constitution of California enacted during 1978, by means of the initiative process. It was approved by California voters on June 6, 1978. It was declared constitutional by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Nordlinger v. Hahn, 505 U.S. 1 (1992). Proposition 13 is embodied in Article 13A of the Constitution of the State of California.[1]
The most significant portion of the act is the first paragraph, which limited the tax rate for real estate:
Section 1. (a) The maximum amount of any ad valorem tax on real property shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the full cash value of such property. The one percent (1%) tax to be collected by the counties and apportioned according to law to the districts within the counties.
The proposition decreased property taxes by assessing property values at their 1975 value and restricted annual increases of assessed value of real property to an inflation factor, not to exceed 2% per year. It also prohibited reassessment of a new base year value except for in cases of (a) change in ownership, or (b) completion of new construction.
In addition to decreasing property taxes, the initiative also contained language requiring a two-thirds majority in both legislative houses for future increases of any state tax rates or amounts of revenue collected, including income tax rates. It also requires a two-thirds vote majority in local elections for local governments wishing to increase special taxes. Proposition 13 received an enormous amount of publicity, not only in California, but throughout the United States.[2]
Passage of the initiative presaged a "taxpayer revolt" throughout the country that is sometimes thought to have contributed to the election of Ronald Reagan to the presidency during 1980. However, of 30 anti-tax ballot measures that year, only 13 measures passed.[3]
A large contributor to Proposition 13 was the sentiment that older Californians should not be priced out of their homes through high taxes.[4] The proposition has been called the "third rail" (meaning "untouchable subject") of California politics, and it is not popular politically for lawmakers to attempt to change it.[5]
There are several accounts of the origins of Proposition 13. The evidence for or against these accounts varies.
One explanation is that older Californians with fixed incomes had increasing difficulty paying property taxes, which were rising as a result of California's population growth, increasing housing demand, and inflation. Due to severe inflation during the 1970s, reassessments of residential property increased property taxes so much that some retired people could no longer afford to remain in homes they had purchased long before. An academic study found support for this explanation, reporting that older voters, homeowners, and voters expecting a tax increase were more likely to vote for Proposition 13.[6]
Another popular explanation is that Proposition 13 drew its impetus from the 1971 and 1976 California Supreme Court rulings in Serrano v. Priest, which somewhat equalized California school funding by redistributing local property taxes from wealthy to poor school districts. According to this explanation, property owners in affluent districts perceived that the taxes they paid were no longer benefiting their local schools, and chose to cap their taxes.
A basic problem with this explanation is that the Serrano decision and school finance equalization were actually quite popular among California voters.[6] It is true that Californians who voted for Proposition 13 were less likely than other voters to support school finance, but Proposition 13 supporters were not more likely to oppose the Serrano decision, and on average they were typically supportive of both the Serrano decision and of school finance equalization.[6]
Another explanation that has been offered is that spending by California's government had increased dramatically during the years prior to 1978, and taxpayers sought to limit further growth. The evidence supporting this explanation is limited, as there have been no studies relating Californians' views on the size and role of government to their views on Proposition 13. However, it is true that California's government had grown. Between 1973 and 1977, California state and local government expenditures per $1000 of personal income were 8.2 percent higher than the national norm. From 1949 to 1979, public sector employment in California outstripped employment growth in the private sector. By 1978, 14.7 percent of California's civilian work force was state and local government employees, almost double the proportion of the early 1950s.[7] In addition, during the early 1960s, there were several scandals in California involving county assessors.[7]
Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann were the most vocal and visible advocates of Proposition 13. Officially named the "People's Initiative to Limit Property Taxation," and known popularly as the "Jarvis-Gann Amendment," Proposition 13 was listed on the ballot through the California ballot initiative process, a provision of the California constitution which allows a proposed law or constitutional amendment to be offered to voters if advocates collect a sufficient number of signatures on a petition. Proposition 13 passed with almost 65% of those who voted in favor and with the participation of nearly 70% of registered voters. After passage, it became article 13A of the California state constitution.
By Proposition 13, the annual real estate tax on a parcel of property is limited to 1% of its assessed value. This "assessed value," may be increased only by a maximum of 2% per year, until and unless the property has a change of ownership.[8] At the time of the change in ownership the low assessed value may be reassessed to complete current market value which will produce a new base year value for the property, but future assessments are likewise restricted to the 2% annual maximum increase of the new base year value.
If the property's market value increases rapidly (values of many homes in California appreciated at annual rates averaging more than 10% in the decade ending with 2005)[9] or if inflation exceeds 2%,[10][11] the differential between the owner's taxes and the taxes a new owner would have to pay can become quite large; and, in fact, one or both of these situations occurred in most of the years since 1978.
The property may be reassessed under certain conditions other than a change of ownership, such as when additions or new construction occur. The assessed value is also subject to reduction if the market value of the property declines below its assessed value, for example, during a real estate slump. Reductions of property valuation were not provided for by Proposition 13 itself, but were made possible by the passage of Proposition 8 (SCA No. 67) during 1978 which amended Proposition 13. Such a real estate slump and downward reassessments occurred during 2009 when the State Board of Equalization announced an estimated reduction of property tax base year values due to negative inflation.[12][13] Property tax in California is an Ad valorem tax meaning that the tax assessed (generally) increases and decreases with the value of the property.

Advocates argue that Proposition 13 has provided predictability for property owners, and increased community stability. They argue that, while progressive income tax structures affect higher incomes, property taxes take a higher percentage of lower incomes, for those people who own a highly valued property but have lower incomes. It is pointed out that state income tax and sales tax were started during the Great Depression,[14] when taxpayer resistance began due to property taxes that unemployed workers could not pay. According to the Center for Governmental Analysis, between fiscal years 2000 and 2005 property tax revenue has increased 22.11%, while personal income per capita has increased 13.80% and general per capita revenue 21.93%.[15]
Estimates are that Proposition 13 has reduced taxes paid by California taxpayers by an aggregate $528 billion (value retrieved 31 May 2009).[16]
Other groups, such as the California Taxpayers Association, citing "The Future of Proposition 13 in California," California Policy Seminar, March 1993, University of California, authored by Arthur O'Sullivan, Terri A. Sexton, and Steven M. Sheffrin, argue that the tax is progressive, and that acquisition-value assessments seem to provide property tax equity.[17]
Advocates of Proposition 13 argue that the restriction of tax increases for previously owned property has decreased the volatility of funding for municipalities. They claim that pre-Proposition 13 property tax revenue was almost three times as volatile.[17]
During 2009, the State Board of Equalization noted that only five times since the passage of Proposition 13 was the annual increase less than the permitted 2%, and that the estimated adjustment for 2010 would be negative, for the first time since the passage of Proposition 13.[12]
David Doerr argues that the "acquisition value system" acts as a control to overspending due to high real estate values, while permitting a source of revenue growth in times of recession. Local governments would then have to decrease spending more severely when the housing market decreased.[18]
According to the California Building Industry Association, construction of a median priced house results in a slight positive fiscal impact, as opposed to the position that housing does not "pay its own way". The trade association argues that this is because new homes are assessed at the value when they are first sold.[19] Additionally, due to the higher cost of new homes, the trade association claims that new residents are more affluent and may provide more sales tax revenues and use less social services of the host community.[20]
Proposition 13 remains popular among Californian likely voters, who are mostly homeowners.[21] Among likely voters, 53% described Proposition 13 as "mostly a good thing" while 33% responded that it was "mostly a bad thing" in a 2006 Public Policy Institute of California survey. For adults who are not likely voters (mostly renters), Proposition 13 was unpopular—- only 29% approval to 47% disapproval. Among California adults, overall approval was 47% approval to 38% disapproval.[22] Periodic newspaper accounts report high voter approval.[23]
Others argue that the real reason for the claimed negative effects is lack of trust for elected officials to spend the public's money wisely.[24] Business improvement districts are one means by which property owners have chosen to tax themselves for additional government services. Property owners find that these targeted taxes are more palatable than general taxes.[25]
Any changes to Proposition 13 would need to take into account potential impacts on 400+ (2008 figure) local redevelopment agencies across California. As of June 30, 2008, the total assessed valuation of land in redevelopment project areas was over $674 billion and combined revenues for FY 2007–2008 were over $10 billion.[26] Changes to Proposition 13 may result in an unintended windfall in tax increment revenue for local redevelopment agencies which are restricted severely by state law on how they may use the funds. Redevelopment agency revenue in California is kept separate from cities' general funds, which are used to pay for basic services such as fire, police, parks, streets and so on.[27] Community redevelopment law in California is based on the controversial Tax increment financing mechanism.
As an example, in Alameda County, California, 12.24% of assessed property value, or $24.5 billion worth, is subject to redevelopment tax increment, and in Fiscal Year 2007–08, $232 million of property taxes went to local redevelopment agencies instead of to the county or city general funds.[28] Of property tax receipts in Alameda County, 13 cents of every property tax dollar goes to local redevelopment agencies, 18 cents goes to cities, 13 cents goes to special districts, 15 cents goes to the county, and 41 cents goes to local schools.[29] In Contra Costa County, Schools get 48%, Special Districts get 19%, the County gets 13%, Redevelopment Agencies get 12%, and Cities get 8%.[30]
Proposition 13 alters the balance of the housing market because it provides disincentives for selling property, in favor of remaining at the current property and modifying or transferring to family members to avoid a new, higher tax assessment.[31] More detailed evidence of this is provided in the book Property Taxes and Tax Revolts: The Legacy of Proposition 13.[32]
The statutory 2% maximum annual increase in assessed value has, on average, under-paced the consumer price index since the adoption of Proposition 13 to date. This leaves governments with reduced purchasing power from its property tax levies. Large real estate bubbles tend to increase property tax revenues, while the collapse of bubbles places downward pressure on them. The net effect on any single owner of any single property depends largely upon the market conditions prevailing at the time of assessment and/or reassessment(s) and the length of time between assessments.
California has more rigidity and friction in both its housing market and in renting than other states; one study comparing California's market to that of other states found that between 1970 and 2000, tenure of owned homes increased by 10% and in renting by 19%, and attributed this change to Proposition 13.[33] Other studies have found that increased tenure in renting can be attributed in part to rent control.[34] D.R. Mullins states that "prospects of increased property tax liabilities triggered by residence or business location changes likely constrain mobility and filtering in the housing and property markets."(pp. 118)
Moreover, evidence shows that because homeowners would allegedly keep their homes for longer, young households often rent for longer before buying a house.[33] Because Proposition 13 could be a disincentive to sell, there is less turnover among owners near the older downtown areas, and prices appreciate fastest in these areas. However, Proposition 13 is not the only factor working on California's housing market to create these conditions: as it grows, fewer places available to build new housing result in greater prices for existing housing.[citation needed] Because of geographical limits and enacted environmental and growth legislation from cities and counties, new development is increasingly expensive. Builders build where land is cheap and thus homes are more affordable, increasing already massive suburban sprawl even farther out.
California also has high rates of migrants from other countries and a high birth rate, which has contributed to more demand for housing, and it has low amounts of moderately priced housing due to the increased property tax liability after a sale. In effect, because the different tax treatment makes real estate more valuable to the current owner than to any potential buyer, selling it makes no economic sense.[2]
Owners of commercial real estate benefited under the original rules of Proposition 13: if a corporation owning commercial property (such as a shopping mall) was sold or merged, but the property stayed technically deeded to the corporation, ownership of the property could effectively have changed without triggering Proposition 13's provisions.[4] Under current law, a change of control or ownership of a legal entity causes a reassessment of its real property as well as the real property of entities that it controls.[35]
Corporations often avoid reassessment by limiting portion of ownership by purchasing in groups where no single party owns more than 50%. For example: "In 2002 ... wine barons E&J Gallo purchased 1,765 acres of vineyards in Napa and Sonoma from Louis M. Martini. But the deal avoided a reassessment, because 12 Gallo family members individually obtained minority interests."[36]
Proposition 13 sets the value of properties at the time of purchase, with a possible 2% annual assessment increase. Therefore, properties of equal value have a great amount of variation in their assessment, even if they are next to each other.[4] The disparity grows when property prices appreciate by more than 2% a year. The Case-Shiller housing index shows prices in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco appreciated 170% from 1987 (start of available data) to 2012 while the 2% cap only allowed a 67% increase during this 26-year period.[37]
Local governments now use imaginative strategies to maintain or increase revenue due to Proposition 13 and the state's attendant loss of property tax revenue (which formerly went to cities and counties). Most California localities have recently sought their voters' approval for special assessments such as Mello-Roos that would levy new taxes and fees for services that used to be paid for entirely or partially from property taxes: streets, water, sewer, electricity, infrastructure, schools, parks, police protection, firefighting units, and penitentiary facilities.[citation needed] Sales tax rates have increased from 6% (pre-Proposition 13 level) to 8.25% and more.[2][3]
Proposition 13 disproportionately affects coastal metropolitan areas, such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, where housing prices are higher, relative to inland communities with lower housing prices. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, more research would show whether benefits of Proposition 13 outweigh the redistribution of tax base and overall cost in lost tax revenue.[33]
Cities and localities have become more dependent on state funds, which has increased state power over local towns and cities.[4] The state provides "block grants" to cities to provide services, and bought out some facilities that locally administer state-mandated programs.[38]
Local governments have become more dependent on sales taxes for funds, which some maintain has resulted in poor land planning, and has made cities encourage more retail stores and "big box" outlets. The jobs and ongoing sales tax those stores provide may discourage growth of other sectors and job types that may provide better opportunities for residents.[4][38] Additionally, cities have decreased services and increased fees to compensate for the shortfall, with particularly high fees levied on developers creating new houses or industrial outlets.[38] These costs transfer to the building's buyer, who may be unaware of the thousands in fees included with the building's cost.[38]
California public schools, which during the 1960s had been ranked nationally as among the best, have decreased to 48th in many surveys of student achievement.[39] Some[40][41] have disputed the attribution of the decline to Proposition 13's role in the change to state financing of public schools, because schools financed mostly by property taxes were declared unconstitutional (the variances in funding between lower and higher income areas being deemed to violate the equal protection clause) in Serrano vs. Priest, and Proposition 13 was then passed partially as a result of that case.[38] California's spending per pupil was the same as the national average until about 1985, when it began decreasing, which resulted in another referendum, Proposition 98, that requires a certain percentage of the state's budget to be directed towards education.[4]
Public libraries have seen a decrease of funding from cities.[38] Police departments received generally the same amount of funding, from 15% in 1978 to 16% during 1995.[38] Cities also decreased water, gas and electricity expenses.[38]
The U.S. Supreme Court declared, in Nordlinger v. Hahn, that Proposition 13 was constitutional. Justice Harry Blackmun, writing the majority opinion, noted that the state had a "legitimate interest in local neighborhood preservation, continuity, and stability" and that it was acceptable to treat owners who have invested for some time in property differently from new owners. If one objected to the rules, they could choose not to buy.[42]
In the 2003 California recall election in which Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor, his advisor Warren Buffett suggested that Proposition 13 be repealed or changed as a method of balancing the state's budget.[43] Schwarzenegger, believing that such an act would be inadvisable politically and could end his gubernatorial career, said, "I told Warren that if he mentions Proposition 13 again he has to do 500 sit-ups."[44]
In January 2011, California Governor Jerry Brown was quoted as saying that it wasn't Proposition 13 that was the problem, but "It was what the Legislature did after 13, it was what happened after 13 was passed" because the legislature reduced local authorities' power.[45]
In December 2011, a team of lawyers headed by a former federal appeals court judge sued to overturn the requirement that a two-thirds vote of the legislature is required to raise state taxes.[46]
In an interview in 2014, Brown lamented that he hadn't built up a "war chest" with which to campaign for an alternative to Proposition 13.[5]
One proposed change to Proposition 13 is to recapture the lost tax revenue retroactively at the time of sale by summing the differences between the actual taxes paid each year and the taxes that would have been paid using assessed values calculated from a straight line between the original purchase price and the final sale price over the entire time the home was owned. This amount will be owed in taxes at the time of sale. This allows older homeowners to keep their homes, but recaptures the capital appreciation benefit they received from urban development paid for by tax dollars to which they did not contribute.
Proposition 13 currently increases the base value by a max of 2% every year, regardless of whether house prices are falling or inflation is negative. It has been proposed to modify Proposition 13 to not increase the base value in any year where the assessed value is less than the base value.[citation needed]

Arenas is all about numbers. He's not a competitor, not interested in winning and massively overpaid to boot. Adding Arenas makes us an 8-10th seed as a best case scenario. Great.
I agree with a great number of points about Stuckey too. His field goal shooting is the same as it was when he was a rookie, about 40%. As a rookie he shot half of shots at the rim, while now he only shoots about 1/3 of shots at the rim, so broadening his area of shooting while maintaining his Field Goal Percentage is evidence of improvement, or at least making an effort to improve. The message I would impart on Stuckey if I were in Saunders, Curry, or Kuester's shoes would be to not shoot. He didn't need a coach to help him pick which player to throw his shoulder into, he needs a coach to say "don't do that, get the ball to someone else." His Usage numbers are indefensibly high. He is behind only Rose among point guards in the percentage of posessions that end in either a FG, FT, or TO. He is 19th in the league overall in this category, Hamilton is 10th in the league. This means Hamilton dominates the ball more than Stuckey, however he shoots a better percentage (Gordon and CV have high numbers here too, perhaps this is explains some ball movement problems). The person who's responsibility it is to make plays for his teammates Stuckey, so it is understandable that he catches a lot of the blame. The future of course is what this is all about, I think the idea that we are resigned to a future of Rodney Stuckey helming the point position for the next 50 years is why people are so set on trashing him. We could always trade him, even if we do sign him, or he could just sit the bench. In the mean time he is serving his role as a point guard well enough that I think we can focus on other things, like upgrading the roster at various other positions. Stuckey's play so far could make him a valuable trade piece this february, and who knows what we might get in return. It will also be very hard to get a team to let go of a point guard that is better than him. He is also doing very well given we got him at 15 and some players taken higher than that in the draft don't ever do anything. coughrodneywhitecough.
IMO, it's unfair to fully judge Stuckey until he gets to play on a cohesive team whose players knows their roles and who stay healthy. Right now we've got a team with no low post threat of any note, and with Gordon, Rip, Tay, Daye, and Tay and Bynum and JJ and Summers and Stuckey himself as candidates in any particular game to be the primary scorers. It's almost impossible for a team to be a well-oiled machine that a PG can even run when his team hasn't begun to sort out any consistent pecking order for who the offense is designed for. That dynamic is only going to get worse with the addition of our 2010 #1 pick, and any rotation FA's we pick up. The problem is that hardly anyone has any patience to see this one through. Stuckey is going to be running the team next season (most likely) and even then, very little of a coherent pecking order will be established. It might be two years or three years down the line before that is complete. During that transition period, I don't know how well Stuckey will have a legimate opportunity to prove his worth. If he doesn't take this team by the balls and be the leader, this could remain a big mess, and many of our player assets might unecessarily fall by the wayside. And again, that dynamic might get even worse with the addition of our 2011 #1 pick. What a mess.
The problem with this argument is that we heard excuses like this a million times during the Darko years. It's very hard to take it seriously. Talent will out.
On this point, I will give him a break. We had most of our weapons out this year (Rip, Tay, Ben, and CV). Stuck was our best option one on five.
Not the same as the Darko argument. Darko was a number 2 pick playing for an excellent team with arguably the best coach in the league. Stuckey (and no, I don't think he is a superstar) is playing on a team that has no cohesiveness and very little talent. Playing on a great team can make average players excellent. Playing alongside superstars can make average players seem excellent. Playing on a team with average talent, injuries, rookie coaches, and no cohesion can make average talent seem lousy. I think that is where Rodney is at. He's an average talent. Not great, but not bad either. He looks like garbage on this garbage team.
I'm really trying to stay out of this argument because folks have heard enough of my crap on this point, but, this argument is driving me bananas!!! Playing on a bad, injury ridden, lottery team should have translated into great stats for this kid. Young players, in this league, who have legit talent-but play on bad teams, put up huge numbers, because they're playing for their next contract and who can blame them. Steph Curry played on the absolute most dyfunctional team in the league this year, and was darn near ROY, Stuckey came in 6th again!
2 seasons ago Stuckey was the starting PG on a team that was 1 year removed from winning 59 games and playing in the conference finals.
I actually see it in reverse. A young talent isn't going to shine as much on a veteran powerhouse team (barring unforeseen injuries, etc). Danny Granger wouldn't have looked nearly as good or gotten the stats he did on recent stacked Lakers, Pistons, Spurs teams as he does on a sub-par Pacers team.
Yes, but those players that are playing on bad teams tend to have "control" over their respective teams. This is a bad team, but a team with veterans that are championship holdovers. How many of those guys that are putting up great numbers on bad teams are in THAT situation...? No one in their right mind thinks that this is "Stuckey's team". This is Hamilton and Prince's team because they are the veterans that have won... even though that isn't how it should be. Stuckey is too passive and clearly takes a backseat to both when they are in the games. People like to pretend that Stuckey "chucked" all of last year, but he really didn't. He took a lot of shots early in the year when our main guys went down. Once we fielded a healthy team, Stuckey often became the third or 4th option on the floor. He actually deferred to a fault IMO.
two dinosauruses from the past - rip and tay run the show in pistons, and people here blame stuckey for it. I have nothing, absolutely nothing against of those two but their time here is over.
Stuckey was also putting up about 20 points per game in their absence. I'm not going to sit here and argue that he was great, but he did put up his best scoring numbers when those two weren't on the floor. It's simple... he had a lot more control when those two weren't playing. When they were, he took a backseat. And those are the facts.
Not the mental attitude I want from a PG or even a modified tweener that starts. A PG takes a back seat to no-one and you screw around with his oversight (if he has some) and those of attitude get fewer touches and find themselves outside the flow. A PG like the Celtics Robinson would chew some hearts out. Understand this...Stuckey can score, but he can't lead.
in short - I have YET to see plays designated for CV, BG and RS - it was comical to observe how BG tries to run through the screens a la rip. plays for rip and tay try to use their strenghts and hinder their weaknesses, "plays" for beforementioned trio are mostly individual efforts and therefore "plays" not plays for them. and with rip and tay stuckey is forced to play slow paced game, very slow - definitely offers no advantages for him and BG and probably to CV. that's why I'm saying that rip-tay has no place in pistons anymore. from rookie coach perspective it is undersandable - rip and tay play package is proven and trustworthy - use it as much as you can. on the other hand - coach Q still is learning what he can or cant get from certain trio.
99 out of 100 times when the Pistons gave an outlet pass to Stuckey he would turn and walk the ball upcourt. Blaming Rip and Tay for this leaves out the fact that Stuckey tires more quickly than any of the other rotational players.
Nate Robinson? Nate is even less of a point guard than Stuckey. Perhaps you meant Rondo (and I'd definitely agree on Rondo). He wasn't leading the Celtics during their championship season of 2008, but he is now and they are just two wins away from another title.
I totally agree with this post. This team demanded/required that Stuckey play quite a few different roles at different points of the season. I thought he was really good. That all said, no question he needs to improve in quite a few areas. But I see no reason that he won't.
Hornets May Make Collison Available Jun 12, 2010 9:48 AM EST The Hornets are back in luxury tax territory heading into the 2010-11 season and Marc Stein of ESPN.com writes that they will likely be active on the trade market. Rival teams will try to convince New Orleans to trade Chris Paul, but it's much more likely that they'll part with promising backup point guard Darren Collison. Stein writes that the Hornets will likely ask any team interested in Collison to also take one of their cap-clogging contracts -- Emeka Okafor, James Posey or Peja Stojakovic. Read more: RealGM: Basketball Wiretap Archives: Hornets May Make Collison Available Here we have one legit trade scenario for pistons and hornets. We can get okafor very bad contract and collison and give Prince,maxiel and bynum(sign and trade ?). May be necessary one aditional player form new orleans but i will like this trade. I will keep our 7 seven pick,we get bad contract giving T Prince. I think is one trade logical for both teams. We get bad player in okaffor(points/rebounds vs salary) but collison is complementary with Rodney,we only need part ways with hamilton.

Posted by: Jon Snow in
I was really excited when I heard Pratchett's new book was not of Discworld and was perhaps targeted for children. I'm always on the lookout for good YA books. I want to be able to introduce children to good fantasy literature and not the drivel that is out there now. Dodger starts off well, there is intrigue and we get to know our protagonist called Dodger very quickly. He's a streetwise adolescent that moves around sewers looking for dropped items, a 'tosher'.
We quickly get thrust into the main part of the story. Dodger, on one stormy night hears some screeching noise and decides to go above ground, just to see. What he say was two grown men beating up someone. Without thinking Dodger rushes towards them and beats them off. He rescues a girl of unknown political power which puts Dodger in a peculiar situation. Stay hidden? However, that isn't possible as one Mister Charles Dickens is after a good story.
It took me a while to realise what was happening. Not because the story was hard to follow or the language Pratchett is using, but why was I reading a crime mystery/thriller novel? Where is the fantasy? Where is the magic? The problem with this book entirely lies with me. I didn't realise this book wasn't a fantasy book; I thought it was…heck, it's Pratchett. I have a definition of what fantasy is to the fantasy genre.
I finish the book and Pratchett details who this book is about and who it is really dedicated to; he calls Dodger, historical fantasy. While I agree it is historical fiction, I beg to differ when he calls it fantasy.
I like the first line on wikipedia: Fantasy is a genre of fiction that commonly uses magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary element of plot, theme, or setting. Many works within the genre take place in imaginary worlds where magic is common.
To break it down very simply, I think fantasy has to have: Magic and/or made up/mythical world and/or mythical/magical creatures.
So in my opinion I wasn't reading a fantasy book and so I didn't really enjoy reading it as much as someone else should have. The link to fantasy is tenuous at best. Is it a bad book? No, there were lots of interesting bits. It was great seeing how Pratchett would tie things together. How does he tie in all the real life events/people into these different scenarios? How did he make Dodger special if he didn't have super powers or magical talents.
Pratchett did a lot of research to make sure that he had all his facts right, all his slang right (from the right era even) and to make his non-main characters (all the real life people) shine.
I'm just not cut out to read anything outside the realm of Fantasy or Science Fiction! If you want fantasy in the typical way, then this book isn't for you.
If you want something different from Pratchett, here it is. If you want a bit of mystery and charm, then this book has it.

Man arrested in connection with stabbing of pregnant woman
POSTED: Thursday, October 31, 2013 - 1:32pm
UPDATED: Thursday, October 31, 2013 - 9:55pm
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — El Paso Police Detectives have arrested and charged 19-year-old Corey Bernard Moss, of Fort Bliss in connection with a brutal stabbing of a pregnant woman in the 4900 block of Wichita on Wednesday night.
According to an arrest affidavit, Moss was inside 31-year-old Rachel Poole's home when she arrived Wednesday evening, when he attacked her with a steel folding knife. Poole, who was on a video call with her husband deployed overseas, yelled out Moss' name so her husband could hear, according to the affidavit.
After the attack, Moss allegedly ran and asked a co-worker to take him back to Fort Bliss, according to the affidavit.
Poole's husband called his co-workers, who then confronted Moss, according to the affidavit.
Poole sustained stab wounds to her face and body and sustained multiple fractures as a result of the attack. She was transported to University Medical Center where she is currently listed in critical condition, and requires surgery. Her unborn child is reported to be in good condition.
Officers say the incident stemmed from a disagreement between Poole and Moss regarding money that Moss owed the victim for vehicle repairs.
Moss allegedly admitted to the attack, according to the affidavit.
Moss has been booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility for Criminal Attempt Capital Murder. His bond is set at $60,000.
