Bill Walton: "Carmelo does not have what it takes to be the great player"
Oct 29, 2010, 3:56 PM EDT
Bill Walton and top basketball statistician agree on something. Excuse me for a minute while I relocate myself to my underground bunker.
New York Knicks fans are still living in the Carmelo Anthony fantasy land, picturing him and Amare Stoudemire as two-thirds of the powerhouse trio they need to return to glory in the East.
Walton was on ESPN 1050 in New York and was asked about pairing Anthony and Stoudemire, He's not a fan, as you can hear in this podcast clip.
Carmelo, to me, does not have what it takes to be the great player. He puts up nice numbers, he makes a great salary, the media, publicity all likes him, but does he win the games? Does he make the squad better? Does he pull guys together?
It hasn't happened in Denver at all. I'm a big Amare Stoudemire fan, I will hold my tongue on Carmelo.
That's holding your tongue?
Remember that Tom Haberstroh — a stats guru that works for ESPN as well as at Hoopdata — wrote a column saying Anthony is not an efficient enough player right now to be elite. Another report said the reason he is not efficient is he takes too many contested jumpers and that hurts his efficiency. He has played with top players before — Chauncey Billups right now for one — and that pattern hasn't changed.
So no matter how you get there — statistics or whatever it is that is rattling around in Walton's head — there are a lot of questions to answer about how good a fit Anthony really is in New York. Not that it would stop Knicks fans from pulling the trigger on a deal.

I love it! Bill Walton the same guy who a few years ago said the same thing about KOBE BRYANT now calls out Melo… Also as a huge advanced stat nut, there is plenty of data claiming that Kobe isn't remarkably efficient either, but he has how many rings??? The pairing of Melo in New York isnt just "Melo scores a bunch of points, he'll win us a ring" When speaking of a player's efficiency can anyone name 5 players more efficient at scoring than Amar'e? Didnt think so.. couple that with a high volume scorer like Melo (who by advanced metrics actually IS EFFICIENT true shooting% last season was at .564, higher than all but 4 of D-Wade's seasons, and all but TWO OF KOBE'S!!!)there is no doubting how dangerous an offensive two-some that is. Not to mention if we can put those two on the floor together is there any doubt that CP3 will soon follow? No Melo is not LeBron, or Durant or even Wade, but Melo + Amar'e probably equals Paul. i dont think anyone can argue against that.

Fidel Castro gives brother key vote of confidence
Raul's government is still chock full of graying veterans of their glory days fighting the revolution against Fulgencio Batista from the Sierra Maestra mountains and other battles.
There is Jose Ramon Fernandez, an 87-year-old vice president who commanded defenses during the 1961 Bay of Pigs attack, and Ramiro Valdes, a 78-year-old vice president who was with the brothers when they and their rebel forces landed in Cuba aboard the yacht Granma in 1956.
Then there is Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, who is 80 and considered by many to be the most important political figure after the Castros, and 78-year old Jose Ramon Balaguer, a former health minister who is a senior member of the Communist Party's Central Committee.
One major task of the Congress is to select a new Communist Party leadership. Raul Castro presumably will be named to succeed his brother as first secretary, but it is unknown who will be tapped to be No. 2.
Raul's speech has raised speculation the position will go to a younger leader like Lazaro Exposito, the fast-charging Communist Party chief in Santiago de Cuba, or Marino Murillo, the former Economy Minister who has been promoted to a position that puts him in charge of implementing the economic reforms.
"Raul Castro's recommendation ... to adopt the principles of term limits represents an historic step toward the creation of institutional and collective forms of leadership," said Arturo Lopez-Levy, an economist who left Cuba in 2001 and is now a lecturer at the University of Denver.
The proposal was made toward the end of a 2 1/2-hour speech to Communist Party luminaries in which the Cuban leader forcefully backed a laundry list of changes to the country's socialist economic system, including the eventual elimination of ration books and other subsidies, the decentralization of the island nation's economy and a new reliance on supply and demand in some sectors.
He said the party is also far along in a study of whether to legalize the sale of cars and homes, which have been all but frozen since the revolution.
Delegates to the Congress broke up into committees Sunday to begin debating the changes behind closed doors before the gathering's scheduled end Tuesday, presumably with another speech by Raul.
Associated Press writers Peter Orsi, Andrea Rodriguez and Anne-Marie Garcia contributed to this report.

Miller Brewing Co. plans to enter a licensing partnership to brew and sell the Australian beer Foster's Lager in the United States - signaling a new commitment to the lagging brand.
Miller is entering a 10-year agreement with Foster's Group Limited. Under the arrangement, brewing of the Foster's Lager and Special Bitter brands sold in the U.S. will transfer from Molson Coors of Canada to Miller breweries in Fort Worth, Texas, and Albany, Ga., in November.
The new arrangement will reduce shipping costs and allow Miller to invest more in the brands' long-term growth, according to a statement Monday from SABMiller Plc, Miller's corporate parent.
The Foster's brands would continue to be distributed and marketed in the U.S. through Foster's USA LLC, a joint venture between Miller and Foster's Group Limited.
Miller and Foster's Group have been U.S. sales and marketing partners since 1993. The joint venture included Molson until 2001, when the Canadian brewer reduced its role to production of the Foster's beer sold in the U.S.
The new arrangement, including plans to invest more in marketing Foster's in the U.S., is part of Miller's strategy of focusing more on imported beers and specialty beers, which carry higher profit margins.
"Foster's has great growth potential, and we're excited about the opportunity to maximize Foster's growth in the U.S.," Tom Long, Miller president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.
Foster's sales have lagged in recent years, even as the overall market for imported beers in the U.S. has improved. Miller has emphasized its other imported beers, including Peroni Nastro Azzurro from Italy and Pilsner Urquell from the Czech Republic.

Measured Success! cuts through the clutter of diet and exercise information and provides an uncomplicated strategy that anyone can understand, follow and share with others. Measured Success! simplifies and clarifies the process of ''counting calories'' in both diet and exercise and introduces a unique strategy called the ''Power of 11'' that is nutritionally sound, easy to remember and effective in achieving results. Included in the book are charts to help estimate the nutritional value of most foods, predict the calories burned during exercise and charts approximate your metabolism. The author shares his success in losing over forty pounds and his continued ability to maintain his new weight fro nearly twenty years, specifically through diet and exercise.
Measured Success! looks at the cultural change in America, which the author calls the ''super-sized, self propelled'' lifestyle and relates this new phenomenon to the obesity crisis we now face. However, most importantly, the book Measured Success! proves a realistic, practical and proven solution.
The book is written in an easy-to-understand and follow manner and avoids excessive clinical or technical information. In fact, the goal of the book is to simplify diet and exercise into a strategy with which anyone can achieve long term weight loss.
The ''Power of 11'' as introduced in the book, will help readers establish a realistic target weight which is a minimum loss of 11% of the reader's current weight within six months. The ''Power of 11'', provides a daily caloric budget, which is 11 times the readers target weight. The exercise component of the ''Power of 11'' strategy is a weekly target of calories burned equal to 11 times the readers weight. Thus, the ''Power of 11'' is an uncomplicated, measurable way to establish and achieve a weight loss goal.
Edward J Coates is a baby-boomer, born in 1950. As a student athlete, he graduated from high school in 1969 weighing a slim one hundred and sixty five pounds, at a height of five feet, ten inches. By the age of thirty-two Ed was smoking over two packs of cigarettes per day and weighed two hundred and twelve pounds. Today at the age of fifty-four, Ed weighs one hundred and sixty five pounds again and hasn't had a cigarette in over twenty years. In recent years, Ed has completed ten marathons, including running in the Boston Marathon twice.
A passion to help others realize the same self-satisfying success and the potential for long-term good health is what motivated Ed to write the book Measured Success!. Ed holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Saginaw Valley State University and has worked in many aspects of the business community his entire work life. Ed and his wife of thirty-two years reside in mid-Michigan and have two married children.

Love this tee for the gym. Thin, lightweight fabric is cool but great for wicking sweat. Nice cut so it's figure flattering and not boxy. I'm tall and like my Tees a little longer - this one fits the bill. All around great purchase.
The cut of the fabric makes my exercising and climbing feel effortless, the materials never bind my range of motion. I have purchased many shirts from North Face and the extra seams in the body are sewn in places that do not receive lots of abrasive contact against the sensitive parts of my skin.I like the material very much because they are light weight and dry extremely fast and the colours have never faded on me even under the harshest UV sun of Australia and Southern California.
I am 6 ft tall, 135lbs and i ordered the medium. It looks great, but if it shrinks i am in trouble. It's a simple shirt - no frills -- and aren't frills good? I think i will have to return it because there's nothing about it yelling: "Keep me!" But, the fit is excellent and the material is soft - feels like cotton, but isn't!

Back in June, during one of his routine "I'm always right" proclamations, Glenn Beck announced that if he "get[s] out of control and start[s] leveling baseless charges that can't be backed up," then he would be "fired." As we pointed out, Beck hurls "baseless charges" for a living and regularly refuses to engage in substantive discussion of criticism of his work.
While this could be written after pretty much every episode of Beck's Fox News program, it bears repeating: By his own standards, Glenn Beck deserves to be fired after last night's program.
Last night, Beck endeavored to profile "puppet master" George Soros, the philanthropist who Beck claims controls the media, the global economy, and the political process. However, working backward from that absurd thesis caused Beck and his research staff predictable trouble. Namely, Beck's show relied on blatant falsehoods, mangled quotes, and distorted history.
While there are far too many "baseless charges" from last night's program to recap here, it's worth focusing on how Beck's attempts to buttress his assertion that Soros is some kind of creepy "puppet master" defy logic (and often the laws of space and time).
Proving once again that Fox's boosterism of GOP candidates doesn't stop after helping to get them elected, yesterday Fox Business host and Fox economic analyst Stuart Varney interviewed congresswoman-elect Kristi Noem (SD) during his guest-hosting stint on Neil Cavuto's Fox News show. (Though I use the term "interviewed" loosely.)
"Business journalist" Varney asked her a series of softball questions, ranging from how she feels about Michael Bloomberg's criticism of the Tea Party -- which he described as coming from "the elites of New York City" - to reports that she will be tapped for a leadership position in the new GOP House.
Near the end of the interview, Varney became so enamored with Noem's answers to his "pointed" questions that he praised her "sheer diplomacy," told her she was "doing a great job," and asked if she was "enjoying" the interview. Watch:
As we've seen, when a news network employs both politicians considering running for office and analysts expected to give their honest political assessments, things can get messy. A split is emerging in Fox News between people who think Fox contributor Sarah Palin is qualified to run for president, and those who don't.
Fox contributor Karl Rove recently indicated that he did not feel Palin has the "gravitas" necessary for the presidency. Palin responded by questioning why Rove feels "so threatened and so paranoid." Apparently Rove has some company among Fox employees.
As reported by Politico's Keach Hagey, Fox contributor Mort Kondracke thinks Jim DeMint and Sarah Palin "are responsible for the fact that the Senate did not go Republican" due to their support of candidates Sharron Angle, Christine O'Donnell, Ken Buck, and Joe Miller. Discussing whether Palin could be the GOP nominee in 2012, Kondracke said that she is "a joke even within her own party" and "the idea that she would be the presidential nominee is unthinkable."
Kondracke has previously had harsh words for Palin, saying during an appearance on Fox News' Special Report in 2008 that she is "utterly unqualified to be President. She is the Dan Quayle of - she's worse than Dan Quayle. Dan Quayle at least had served as a senator and was, you know, and was conversant with national issues."
Here's the video of Kondracke's comments:
Fox News has recently received a healthy dose of criticism over the fact that they employ no less than five potential 2012 GOP presidential candidates. As we've documented, from the beginning of the year through September 18, the various Fox candidates spoke through Fox News in at least 269 appearances on the network.
And as we noted yesterday, the Fox candidates are open about reaping the benefits that come with a platform on the network. Likely presidential candidate and Fox contributor Rick Santorum told National Review last month that his role on Fox has "been big" and "helped folks remember who I am."
While much of the criticism has come from observers appalled at the lack of journalistic ethics inherent in a news network essentially paying political candidates while giving them a platform to address Republican voters, the network has also been targeted by the campaigns of non-Fox candidates considering presidential runs.
In September, Politico's Jonathan Martin and Keach Hagey reported that "officials with some of the other campaigns in waiting are plainly annoyed at the advantage they see the four potential GOP candidates have with Fox." They also quoted an anonymous aide - anonymous because "no one wants to offend a news outlet with a potentially outsize role in determining the next GOP nominee" - saying that "I wish we could get that much airtime, but, oh yeah, we don't get a paycheck."
So, now that the midterms are over and the media's attention inevitably turns to the GOP primary, how is Fox going to handle these complaints? By severing ties to its employees that double as putative presidential candidates, perhaps? No, that would be vaguely ethical.
Continuing in the long tradition of prominent conservatives admitting that Fox News is just the house organ of the GOP, this morning former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum told Fox host Neil Cavuto that Republicans are better-equipped to "fight" because they now "have Fox News" to "get a message out."
While Santorum's admission is noteworthy in its own right, it takes on added significance due to fact that Santorum -- along with at least four of his fellow Fox employees -- is mentioned among potential candidates for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.
Clearly, one of the most important roles for Fox going forward will be to "fight" and "get the message out" for the eventual GOP presidential nominee. However, it remains to be seen how the network is going to handle its various employees using their network as a platform to position themselves for a presidential run.
And make no mistake, Santorum has been open about using his Fox platform to bolster a potential presidential run. In an interview with National Review Online last month about his surely not-coincidental increased presence in Iowa, Santorum told NRO's Katelynd Mahoney that his role on Fox has "been big," and "helped folks remember who I am... It's a great platform, being able to talk about the current issues of the day."
As we documented, from the beginning of the year through September 18, the various Fox candidates spoke through Fox News in at least 269 appearances on the network. In September, Sarah Palin advised then-candidate Christine O'Donnell to "speak to the American people. Speak through Fox News."
Last month, Fox contributor and fellow potential presidential candidate Mike Huckabee hosted former Fox News employee John Kasich to plug the latter's then-candidacy for Ohio governor. During the interview Huckabee stressed to viewers the "importance" of Ohio in the "national political landscape," and noted that Obama "knows if he loses the governor's office in Ohio - which is ground zero - he's in deep trouble for 2012."
Fox News doesn't appear to be concerned that its employees are using network resources to position themselves for possible presidential runs. And it remains to be seen how the network will deal with its employees transitioning from theoretical candidates to actual candidates.
As we've documented extensively, Jim Hoft's pathological hatred for President Obama and all things liberal leads him to regularly make a fool out of himself. He often posts images that not only don't support his argument -- Obama "flipping off" John Boehner with two fingers comes immediately to mind -- but raise questions about how someone who is so intellectually bankrupt can manage to wield such influence in conservative media circles.
We have another embarrassment to add to the pile.
Last night, Hoft posted a story under the headline "BUMMER. Kid Dresses Up as Obama Joker For White House Halloween Party." He shows this picture (and embeds video) as evidence:
Hoft adds that "the kid forgot to write 'Socialist' on his T-shirt."
You know why he didn't write "Socialist" on his shirt, Jim? Because he isn't dressed as the "Obama Joker." He's just wearing what looks like Joker makeup. As far as I can tell, the only reason Hoft assumed he was dressed as the "Obama Joker" is because he is black.
Hoft also claims that the "president pushed the poor child on his way." If you watch the embedded video at Hoft's site, you'll see that Obama did nothing of the sort, unless you think placing your hand on a child's shoulder amounts to "pushing."
This staggering bit of idiocy -- which is entirely in character -- will not prevent Hoft from continuing to help lead the conversation in the conservative media. And of course, this being the conservative blogosphere, Hoft wasn't the only person to run with the "story." Weasel Zippers also posted the image and said it "[m]ust be like looking in the mirror, eh Barack?"
Glenn Beck's The Blaze, which he said will feature "the stories that matter most," is now running with this.
Fox Nation is now pushing this as well. Can one of these sites please explain in detail how they reached the conclusion that this kid was dressed as the "Obama Joker"? I'll wait.
Over the course of the past month, while promoting his new book that may "change the course of human events," radio host Michael Savage has announced that he has not only "saved talk radio" but is also the "foremost conservative intellectual."
Where does such a sharp mind get his information? Apparently, from Iranian state-owned TV.
Currently on the homepage of Michael Savage's website - underneath the giant ad for his new book - is the following story about how Obama is "unlikely to last 1st term":
This links to a story by Press TV, which is "sponsored by Iran's state-run television operation, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting."
As an added bonus, the story consists of quotes from Edward Spannus of the Executive Intelligence Review about people in the "Democratic Party who are seriously considering how to remove Obama from presidency." The Executive Intelligence Review is the weekly newsmagazine founded by fringe conspiracy theorist Lyndon LaRouche.
Yet again, conservatives' vetting process for the stories they pick up seem to be: "Does this reflect poorly on the president? Print it!"
The last third of Glenn Beck's new book, Broke, is devoted to his "plan" to fix our supposedly broken country. (Spoiler alert: stop spending money, implement a flat tax, and privatize everything -- all while praying.)
Beck writes:
Here's a rule of thumb: If you can Google something and find a private company to do that task, then that's probably where the responsibility for it should be. Profit motive has a funny way of making companies act efficiently. In fact, giving some tasks to companies can often run an expense item into a revenue item. [Broke, pg 308]
Beck proceeds to argue that we should consider privatizing, among other things, military arsenal production, ports, and air traffic control. After a brief, apparently irony-free section about rising health care costs -- remember folks, "profit motive has a funny way of making companies act efficiently" -- Beck announces a "War on Defense Dollars." As Beck explains it, "we must break free of this perpetual cycle of military operations that is helping to bankrupt us."
After announcing that he is "not an expert in this area," Beck turns to someone with more experience: Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater (now known as "Xe."). Beck repeats several of Prince's suggestions under the guise of Prince telling people "how to make the military more efficient."
Leaving aside the numerous other ethical scandals Blackwater has been involved in over the years, if Prince really wanted to help combat Pentagon waste, one of his first steps would have been to propose better-regulating companies like the one he founded.
In the lead-up to Glenn Beck's 8-28 rally in Washington D.C., Beck repeatedly tried to co-opt the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement. Beck's motivation was clear: by cloaking himself and his band of small government rabble-rousers with King's legacy, he hoped to inflate the historical significance of their gathering while hiding behind the shield of the civil rights movement's moral authority.
As I documented at the time, Beck's co-opting of King was a complete farce:
King forcefully advocated for drastic action by the federal government to combat poverty; supported "social justice"; called for an "economic bill of rights" that would "guarantee a job to all people who want to work"; and stated that we must address whether we need to "restructure the whole of American society" -- all ideas that Beck has vilified.
After his rally, Beck was pressed by Fox News' Chris Wallace about how the "civil rights movement was always about an economic agenda." Beck responded by saying that "that's a part of it that I don't agree with." This represented a major backtrack for Beck, who had accused progressives of "perverting" King's legacy by tying it to economic issues. Apparently Beck hasn't learned his lesson.
In his new book, Broke, in a section about how "entitlements like Social Security and Medicare are murdering our finances," Beck has the audacity to quote Martin Luther King Jr. to make his point. He writes:
As Martin Luther King, Jr., once said, "No lie can live forever" -- well, these programs are based on the biggest lie of all: that money can be shuffled from person to person, from states to Washington and from trust fund to trust fund without consequence. It's time for that way of thinking (or, in this case, not thinking) to finally end. Progressive thought has brought us straight to the brink -- only an equal but opposite force can move us away from it. [Broke, pg 203-204]
Beck's invocation of King in this context is gratuitous and shameless.
This morning, the New York Times and Think Progress broke news that Koch Industries, the conservative/libertarian manufacturing conglomerate headed up by billionaires Charles and David Koch, is planning a meeting in January to "develop strategies to counter the most severe threats facing our free society and outline a vision of how we can foster a renewal of American free enterprise and prosperity."
As reported by the Times, the "Koch network meets twice a year to plan and expand its efforts." Their most recent meeting took place in Aspen, Colorado, in June of this year to strategize about the upcoming elections, and featured none other than Fox News' own Glenn Beck, who gave a talk about whether America is on the "Road to Serfdom."
The Aspen meeting took place the weekend of June 26-27. On Tuesday, June 29, Beck attacked Al Gore and his film An Inconvenient Truth on his Fox News program. In the middle of his screed about climate science and GDP, Beck said: "I want to thank Charles Koch for this information."
Beck did not explain to his audience who Charles Koch is. As we noted at the time, Koch Industries is heavily involved in the petroleum, chemicals and energy sectors. Charles Koch and other people affiliated with his organization spoke at the June meeting.
In the letter posted by Think Progress inviting people to the upcoming January meeting, Charles Koch explains that "this is a gathering of doers who are willing to engage in the hard work necessary to advance our shared principles." [emphasis in original] They've apparently found a helpful ally in Glenn Beck, who is willing to advance their "shared principles" on his Fox News show.

The closing paragraph of General Douglas MacArthur's April 19, 1951 address to Congress: "I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barracks ballads of the day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And like the old soldier in the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty."

Re: Generations deleted scenes
I do appreciate the effort to calm things down a bit and not being so rude and dismissive. Ladies and gentlemen....ladies again cuz I love the ladies...I remember the shower scene and the torture scene VERY clearly because of the impression and subsequent comments made between my buddy and I regarding the scenes. I am willing to admit that I could be wrong about the emotional over-load concerning Data, but the comment was made between my friend and I about Data possibly thinking of his sexual encounter with Tasha Yar. The shower scene I know was there because again, it was one of those...ah ha moments regarding the 24th century. Also the torture scene I remember very clearly because of the
and Kunte Kinte comment made. I will say this...I can't speak on another other deleted scene. I can't speak of the Chekov mourning scene, the Lursa and B'tor discovery scene with Data being "concerned", nor any crashing scenes or alternative ending and Christmas at the Picards scene. Believe it, or not, but I am 100% certain I saw the 2 scenes as I've mentioned. Now let me ask you guys this... I never did see the Trek 09 in the movie theaters when it was out, but I do recall reading someone's post regarding that movie. He said that in the beginning of the movie after the Kelvin was destroyed, they had the Klingon takeover scene where the Klingons told the Narada to power down or be destroyed and that as soon as everyone in the movie theater heard Klingon's speaking Klingonese, the crowd clapped with pleasure because at that point "it seemed like a real Star Trek movie." So was that scene not ever in Trek 09?? The main point of all this post was to again pose the question if a deleted scene was considered canon because obviously these scenes show up, and then are gone depending on where you're watching it and how...
Darling, you remain as aesthetically pleasing as the first day we met. I believe I am the most fortunate sentient in this sector of the galaxy.

NBI probers believe Aman was preceded by even bigger Rasuman scam
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Before Aman Futures, there was the Jachob "Coco"' Rasuman group in Marawi City which, according to the National Bureau of Investigation, got even more money from its investors before it was shut down.
Virgilio Mendez, NBI deputy director for regional services, noted however that Rasuman's group, which was founded in 2010, had a much smaller number of victims compared with Aman Futures, headed by Manuel Amalilio.
"We cannot at this time commit to an exact figure but our estimate based on the investigation is that the Rasuman group got more money and had fewer victims compared with the Aman Futures," Mendez said.
Rasuman got more from its investors, Mendez said, noting as an example that Rasuman received P300 million from a group of only 29 investors in Cagayan de Oro.
"The investors of Rasuman were moneyed people, while those of Aman Ventures were ordinary people,'' he added.
Mendez said Rasuman and Aman Amalilio had no personal relationship although Rasuman also became a victim of Aman Futures.
"They do not know each other. However our investigation showed that Rasuman, in a last effort to save his venture, invested all his money along that of his investors with Aman Futures and lost it all," Mendez said.
According to intelligence reports gathered by the NBI, Rasuman is married to a Maranao royal, Princess Tomawis, whose family is prominent in the region's business community.
The reports portrayed Rasuman as a Marawi businessman whose businesses ranged from lone distributorship of Holcim Cement, restaurants, the buying and selling of cars, fuel and others.
"Before the downfall of Rasuman, he was considered a hero for raising the standard of living of people who initially profited from his double-your-money scheme," Mendez said.
Mendez added that unlike the victims of Aman who became violent, the Rasuman case was "resolved in a peaceful solution through the intervention of religious leaders in the area."
He said Rasuman's victims were mostly Muslims like him.
"The victims were urged by the religious leaders to stand down and give the family a chance to pay," Mendez said, adding that Rasuman's family promise to pay all the investors by February of 2013.
Mendez said Rasuman was now in the custody of the Philippine National Police.
The NBI report stated that Rasuman's modus operandi was similar to Aman's also differed in some aspects.
While Aman Futures started in the market, Rasuman began his by getting into buying and selling cars to raise quick cash.
He said Rasuman would offer to buy a car with a market value of only P100,000 for a higher amount of P150,000 but the seller would have to wait for two months before actually getting paid. He would then sell it at a lower price to raise money quickly to invest in other ventures.
In 2010, an NBI report said Rasuman hired at least 50 agents to look for investors and only he would deal with them. But eventually, for unknown reasons, Rasuman stopped accepting cash investments himself and assigned a trusted person to receive the money in his behalf.
The agents were promised by Rasuman 80 percent return on investment and these agents in return were to look for investors and promise them a 40- to 70-percent profit.
"The difference would serve as the commission for the agents," the report said.
The report said all transactions were in cash and carried out in the privacy of Rasuman's office in Iligan City.
"Rasuman did not accepts checks from his agents; he signed an unofficial receipt acknowledging the investment after he was given the cash," the report said.
Initially Rasuman and his agents "avoid bank transactions and only negotiate in cash."
Bank transactions were used only if an investor insisted on having a post-dated check as a guarantee.
Rasuman went around escorted always by armed men.
The NBI report also spoke of local officials who were involved in the Rasuman scheme.
Based on statements from those "in the know" these included mayors, a congressman and a military commander.
"We could not say yet if they are involved or victims" Mendez said.

All quotes tagged Morality
(939 quotes found)
"Traditional arguments in favor of diversity often focus on ethics, morality and constitutionality. I wanted to look at the observable effects of diversity on performance."
"If my relation to each and every peasant in Cambodia is indeed exactly what the principles of morality would demand it to be, it's a miraculous coincidence, because it takes a lot of effort to behave correctly in regard to my friends, and from one end of the year to another I never give those peasants a single thought."
"They told us, 'You don't have the capacity, you lack the technical ability and the moral fiber' ... I wanted folks to respect me for my ability and not the happenstance of my birth. If you want respect, you have to give respect."
"The very women who object to the morals of a notoriously beautiful actress, grow big with pride when an admirer suggests their marked resemblance to this stage beauty in physique"
"The God often chooses to play blindfolded, so that the mortal eyes blinded by human values doesn't interfere in his perfect work."
"Go into the street and give one man a lecture on morality and another a shilling, and see which will respect you most."
"Be not too hasty to trust or to admire the teachers of morality: they discourse like angels, but they live like men"

Dr. Nick Parker, former professor of Texas Tech University, has been at the forefront of the environmental movement for decades.

BOISE -- Three months into implementation of Idaho Core Standards in schools, educators, administrators and parents in support of the Common Core addressed questions, concerns and criticism about the new standards.
The Idaho Core Standards have broad support in Idaho, but some opposed to the curriculum requirements and assessment changes are hoping legislators will reconsider the standards in the upcoming 2014 session.
Idaho is one of 44 states that adopted Common Core standards this fall. More than a dozen states have frozen or are planning to freeze some aspects.
Panelists say going back on Common Core could be a 'major setback'
The Tuesday afternoon panel discussion for media consisted of Boise School District Superintendent Dr. Don Coberly, Joint School District No. 2 (Meridian) School Board Chair Anne Ritter, Meridian fifth-grade teacher Kendra Wisenbaker and Boise parent Mike Lanza (who also chaired the 'Vote No on Props 1, 2, and 3 campaign against Students Come First).
All had positive things to say about how they've seen the Idaho Core Standards working in practice, and they want to keep building on these standards, not immediately turn around based on criticism.
We're what? Three months into actual instruction, teachers are really getting comfortable, feeling positive about teaching the new curriculum. I would hate to take a step back, Coberly said.
It could be a major setback if there is some kind of successful backlash to the Idaho Core, Lanza said.
Teacher: 'The kids are really enjoying what they're doing'
The implementation of the Idaho Core Standards is going well in the schools. There have been some bumps, as there will be with any new implementation of curriculum and standards. But generally talking to our teachers, they're feeling really good about where we're going with it, Coberly said.
Wisenbaker, like all teachers, has been forced to adjust, especially considering she teaches pretty much every subject: Math, science, social studies, reading, writing, spelling, vocabulary.
While she says it has been a lot of work to make changes, she likes the Core Standards approach and says her students are understanding all subjects better by combining lessons and ideas.
It actually has been pretty nice to integrate my reading and writing with my social studies content. I really have found that the kids are enjoying social studies a lot more, just because they've gotten a lot of different ways to explore that content, Wisenbaker said. There is a lot to teach, but the standards themselves kind of allow you that freedom now to make your own decisions on how best to teach.
Writing-heavy curriculum and testing will give different feedback for teachers
Wisenbaker says personally, she's excited to see how methods work and how they'll test during new assessments in two years that, like her lessons, will be more writing-heavy.
I think that not only for me, but for the kids, it will be powerful because they'll see that what they learn has a huge effect on what they can produce and what they want to show, Wisenbaker said.
She says she's not concerned about how the testing will go from a standpoint of judging her performance, but she does want the feedback so she can keep adjusting.
I'm excited because I think that the new testing is going to test our kids differently and really get to the heart of do they know what they need to know in order to be successful citizens? Wisenbaker said.
Small district teachers have voiced concerns about changes
Some of the issues teachers have brought up to KTVB come from those in small districts who are struggling to find the time to re-do lesson plans, especially when they may teach all grade levels in many subjects.
Boise and Meridian say they've heard that from small district superintendents, and to help, they have both made their plans available to all of Idaho's teachers.
We've made our curriculum available, made any resources that we're developing available to them. When you think about Boise and Meridian, we've always done that, but specifically now, it's about the Idaho Core Standards, Coberly said. We think that's part of our mission, to help out the other, smaller districts because we have some resources they don't have, so we're happy to do that.

S.V. Sunil and V.R. Raghunath, who were part of the Asian Champions Trophy winning Indian hockey team, are of the opinion that Indian team has the capacity to qualify for the London Olympics in 2012. They were felicitated by the Kodagu district administration, zilla panchayat and the Department of Youth Services and Sports in Madikeri on Friday.
Both players hail from Kodagu.
Sunil said that the financial assistance being given by the Union and State governments encouraged players to perform well in future. Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda, who announced Rs. 5 lakh each to players hailing from Karnataka, should be complimented, he said.
Raghunath said that support of the people played a key role in the success of the Indian team at Ordos in China, the venue of the championship. It had helped the team give its best shot. He was all praise for coach Michael Nobbs, who had taken steps to correct the mistakes and put the players in the right groove.
He expressed confidence that the Indian team was sure to make a mark in world hockey soon. Raghunath said that comparing hockey to cricket in India was not correct. The BCCI was a strong body aiding the progress of the game. Hockey players were confident that the government would do its best to the game of hockey in India, he added.
Speaker of the Legislative Assembly K.G. Bopaiah felicitated them along with president of the zilla panchayat Ravi Kushalappa, vice-president H.M. Cauvery, ZP members Kanti Belliappa, S.N. Raja Rao, Usha Devaiah, Mani Nanjappa, Deputy Commissioner N.V. Prasad, Superintendent of Police Manjunath Annigeri, and Chief Executive Officer of the ZP N. Krishnappa.

A floral canvas
Gardening a ministry for Bowie woman
Thelma Cartmel has the welcome mat out year-round, but in her case, it is a beautiful flower garden that beckons with brilliant colors and petals reaching skyward.
You may not know her name, but if you drive down one of the busiest streets in Bowie, you have surely noticed the yard in the 300 block of South Mill Street. Her small frame home is enveloped by lush greenery, frilly flowers of all shapes and sizes, and growing vegetables.
From the lush peony-style poppies of red, purple and white, to the towering heirloom larkspur, you can't help but smile as you take in the landscape. You also will be enthralled by the gardener who loves to make new friends, share her knowledge of gardening and minister about her love of God.
Cartmel celebrates her 81st birthday in July and has no plans on slowing down, instead staying busy with her garden or following her missionary friends around the world via the Internet. She moved to her small house on Mill in 2002 when she retired at age 70.
Her life has been one of varied experiences from a long marriage, raising four children and striking out on her own after a divorce to try cattle trading and caring for seniors.
Raised in southeast Oklahoma and the oldest girl of 11 children, Cartmel recalls they grew up surrounded and surviving through nature, eating things that
came from the nearby woods and fields.
"I always loved nature, hearing the leaves crackle and the smell of the woods. My mother and I were buddies. She taught me a lot about survival skills, maintaining the earth and appreciating what came from it," she recalls.
Her yard, which is abundant with flowers and greenery, was a blank slate at first. She sprayed to eliminate the grass and weeds with plans to create a landscape that required no mowing. Due to a torn rotator cuff, she could not pull the starter on a mower, and she wanted to be able to maintain the yard on her own.
Working with a sloped yard and a house below street level, she had 12 yards of dirt hauled in to level out the yard, along with cross ties to create some bi-level areas in the back and side. She also had a pair of concrete runners built in the front yard to help divert water from the street coming into her house.
With the yard smoothed, the fun started as she began planning and laying out her plan to create a landscape that bloomed almost year-round, covering as many of the seasons as possible.
"I have spent a lot of money on things I liked but didn't like me," she said, laughing. "God planted nature, and if you don't love a flower, it won't grow for you. A plant is of God's creation; I believe they all need communication. I tried to look for hearty things that I noticed did well in other yards. It gave me ideas to drive around and look."
The majority of plants in her yard are perennials, and while she leans toward the more old-fashioned flowers, she really loves them all. She especially enjoys the search for something new or special, and the challenge to grow an item that may not be suited to the area.
The larkspur that covers her yard came from Mrs. Luther's home at Chico and has a 75-year history. Its original colors of purple, pink and white bloom, but it has evolved to create a light blue color, a process the gardener loves to see.
There are poppies that came from 30-year-old seed.
Her garden doesn't only look good, it tastes good. There are lettuce pots, rows of young cucumbers and tomatoes, plus an assortment of onions. To help keep her gardens thriving, Cartmel uses a series of drip water hoses throughout the yard, and she luckily has not experienced too much loss in her plants due to the drought.
Cartmel loves "big, showy stuff," that stands out among the greenery. She describes her flower gardens as a floral arrangement with certain colors planted to complement each other, creating a floral tapestry. She has been able to expand her knowledge of gardening via the Internet.
One year ago Cartmel got her first laptop, primarily to keep up with her missionary friends who travel the country and world.
Her walls are dotted with photos of young people, often students at Bible Baptist Translators Institute, who visited her home and discussed the Bible and life. Some have become beloved friends whose photos hang next to her children's photos.
She suggests if you want to develop your garden or learn about plants, play around with them. If you want low-maintenance, go with native plants, and for drought-tolerant, try succulents. The options are endless, she said.
Periodically, Cartmel conducts yard sales where she sells plants. However, she is quick to say a lot of people just stop by to see the flowers and get information.
She doesn't mind, because she loves talking to people sharing her love of gardening and of God. Her flower garden has become something of a welcome sign beckoning people to stop by, but it was not always that way.
She recalls those first few years in Bowie were a bit lonely and she had been unable to find a church home that suited her.
"The Lord told me to be available," she said. "I did that. I opened my heart and gave it all back to the Lord. I welcome all to come here and see the beauty he created and used me to do it.
"He helps me take care of it. Someone remarked 'what a ministry.' I have come to realize God was doing more in this yard, using it to witness. I tell everyone don't wait until a yard sale, you are welcome to dig around anytime."

The U.S. Supreme Court has sent mixed signals this term regarding when courts can address merits issues at the class certification stage. On March 27, 2013, in Comcast Corp. v. Behrend, the Court reaffirmed that lower courts may not "refus[e] to entertain arguments … that b[ear] on the propriety of class certification, simply because those arguments would also be pertinent to the merits determination." Op. at 6-7. However, a month earlier, in Amgen Inc. v. Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds, the Court arguably did exactly that.
The Behrend Decision In Behrend, subscribers of Comcast television services in the Philadelphia market brought suit against Comcast for violations of federal antitrust laws and sought certification of a class of current and former Comcast subscribers in the market. The plaintiffs proposed four theories of antitrust impact, i.e., four ways in which Comcast allegedly distorted the market and increased cable subscription rates. Behrend Op. at 3. The District Court found that one of these theories — that Comcast's activities reduced the level of com- petition from "overbuilders" — was capable of class-wide proof, and certified a class based on that theory alone.

|Impacts of soil management practices on soil fertility in potato-based cropping systems in the Bolivian Andean highlands
|Aguilera Alcón, Javier, 1965-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Due to changes in climate and socioeconomic developments, current soil management practices in the Bolivian Andean Highlands may be increasing soil degradation thereby threatening food security. A study was established in four representative communities during the 2006-09 growing seasons to identify an integrated soil management strategy that may help to improve soil fertility and productivity by increasing soil organic matter. Soil samples collected from fields of different lengths of cropping (LC) and fallow (LF) showed that LC decreased and LF increased total (TOC) and active soil organic C (AOC), and total (TN), inorganic (TIN) and active soil N (AIN). Field trials established with combinations of soil inorganic fertilizers (SIF) and local and alternative soil organic fertilizers (i.e., cow and sheep manure, household compost and a biofertilizer) revealed that the cow and sheep manure combined with SIF significantly affected soil properties, such as pH, soil test P, TN, TIN and TOC, soil water content and bulk density and significantly increased the production of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and a subsequent quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) crop. Results of testing a portable field method to assess N status of potato plant tissue suggest that use of the Cardy nitrate-N meter may have some promise for tissue testing for potato in the Andean highlands of Bolivia, where access to soil and plant tissue testing services is limited.

Byfuglien scores 3; Blackhawks take 2-1 lead
VANCOUVER, British Columbia Chicago forward Dustin Byfulgien was all over the Vancouver Canucks, creating havoc in the crease and on the score sheet.
Byfuglien banged in a pair of power-play rebounds and completed his hat trick in the third period to lift the Blackhawks to a 5-2 win over the Canucks and a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinal series on Wednesday night.
"He was in the middle of everything," said Marian Hossa, who scored 7:45 into the third period to give Chicago a 4-2 lead. "He's dominating in the corners, in the physical department and I think he was frustrating their team."
Dismissed by the Canucks before the series as a non-factor despite scoring two of his three career playoff goals against them last season, Byfulgien was the biggest factor in putting Chicago ahead in the series for the first time.
Moved back up front and onto the top line after playing defense in Game 2, the 6-foot-4, 257-pound Byfuglien went hard to the net all night, tucking in power-play rebounds in the first and second periods. He was credited with his third goal with 6:02 left after pushing Roberto Luongo into his net, leaving the goalie upset and the Canucks pledging retaliation.
"I think so," Byfulgien said when asked if he was throwing the Canucks off their game. "They've got to worry about me coming and worry about getting hit."
The Canucks seemed most worried about clearing Byfuglien out of Luongo's face. Byfuglien doesn't expect that to happen.
"No, I don't think so," he said.
If not, Luongo would like to see his teammates at least make life just as difficult for his Chicago counterpart. Antti Niemi made 16 of his 31 saves in the first period, but didn't have to fight through nearly as much traffic.
"If they do it on us and its not being called, we have to do the same thing on the other side to at least get it even up as far as advantages are concerned," said Luongo, who finished with 30 saves. "We have to get some traffic."
Kris Versteeg opened the scoring 5:19 in as the Blackhawks picked up where they left off with a third-period comeback in Game 2.
"We built a lot of confidence in Game 2, but we knew it didn't mean much if we didn't come and keep playing the same way," said Chicago captain Jonathan Toews, who had three assists. "We did a lot of good things and put them on their heels for the most part."
Jannik Hansen and Alex Burrows scored for the Canucks, who will try to even the series when they host Game 4 on Friday night. Vancouver will have to do a better job on special teams and against Byfuglien.
"We're going to have to do a better job of protecting the front of our net," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. "At the same time, we know what's being allowed and permitted on the ice in front of the nets and we have to do the same thing."

Cant wait untill your tutorial is finished

May 12th, 2006 #26
My favorite are the forth and fifth. The forth is so imagination provoking, like the 4d space , you know, with black holes and time channels. Breath taking really. And these huge powerful animals with hot breath and little kids, totally engaged in the imaginative game with all their soul and bodies in it. Brilliant, just brilliant. The picture just holds my heart, very strongly.
And in the fifth the simplicity and elegance of the composition is wonderful. Very powerful message in laconic language, makes the impact even bigger, in my opinion.

Wow, thanks guys! I seriously did not expect to get very far in the competition against so many great artists. I especially didn't expect this! I'll chalk it up to catching opponents at their busiest
But big thanks, Cody, for puting this all together! We really appreciate it.

7 nabbed for butchering 49 dogs in Pangasinan; 22 canines rescued
DAGUPAN CITY, Philippines–Seven people were arrested for butchering 49 dogs in a vacant lot in Malasiqui town, Pangasinan Thursday, police said.
Supt. Policarpio Cayabyab, Malasiqui police chief, said among those arrested were Rino Montano, 50, the group's financier who is a resident of Baguio City, and Roger Maravilla, the group's buyer, 47, of San Pedro, Laguna.
Cayabyab said he sent a team of policemen to Barangay Taloy after Melchor Alipio, a member of the Philippine Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PSPCA), reported the butchering of dogs in Sitio Dinacuan at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday.
Cayabyab said the team was only able to save 22 of 71 dogs that they found in the area. Forty-nine dogs had been butchered, he said, and 26 of these had been scorched in an open fire.
Cayabyab said Maravilla bought the dogs, which came from different areas in Laguna, for P100 to P200 each.
The dogs were taken to Malasiqui for butchering and were to be sold in Baguio City, where some restaurants and eateries serve dog meat dishes.
Cayabyab said the suspects are facing charges for violation of the Animal Welfare Act of 1998 (Republic Act 8485) and the Anti-Rabies Act of 2007 (RA 9482).
