A lot of National Football League teams use point systems to help with decisions in certain on-the-fly situations, so they can keep everything straight. After touchdowns, head coaches and assistants often rely on a chart to determine when it's appropriate to kick an extra point or attempt a two-point conversion, within the context of the score and time remaining. During the NFL draft, general managers use predetermined value metrics to assess what they should give or receive in a trade for a particular draft pick.
This way, the coach or the club executives have a menu to draw from, like a kid in math class determining the area of a rectangle or the diameter of a circle. This way, their choices make more sense.
This sort of problem-solving seems especially relevant in the aftermath of the discipline rendered in the cases of Manny Machado and Fernando Abad on Tuesday, which, like other recent choices, appear to have been pulled off a spinning wheel of fortune. You don't know exactly what decision will pop up.
On May 30, Rays starter David Price drilled Red Sox slugger David Ortiz in the first inning, on the first pitch of the at-bat, and plate umpire Dan Bellino saw sufficient intent in the pitch -- and why not, given the Hatfields and McCoys history between these two teams -- to issue a warning to both teams.
In the fourth inning, A.J. Pierzynski doubled with two outs, leaving first base open, and Price hit Mike Carp with his very next pitch. Price was not ejected.
Then, in the top of the sixth inning, Boston starter Brandon Workman threw a shoulder-high pitch that was a couple of feet behind Evan Longoria, a clear message.

Facebook is set to open the door to its "new home on Android" in a few days, but a supposed leak of the phone's OS reveals that not only is the phone's hardware unimpressive, but also whatever "optimization" the firm has done to Android 4.1.2 probably won't be anything mind blowing.
The Facebook smartphone is a collaborative project between Taiwanese handset maker HTC and the social networking giant. Some are referring to the Facebook phone as the "HTC Myst", and on the hardware end of things the Myst doesn't look all that appealing.
According the phone's build.prop, the Facebook handset sports a Qualcomm MSM8960 dual-core, 1GB of RAM, and a 5MP rear camera. The only thing that even remotely sounds interesting about the Facebook phone is that it'll have a Facebook app that won't be available anywhere else. How impressive these "exclusive" Facebook features will be like is anyone's guess at this point, but for the die-hard Facebooker, don't expect much.
There are a few other tidbits that might be interesting, and you can read up on them here.

A Massachusetts man is being held without bail for allegedly lying to federal authorities during a terror investigation.
Tarek Mehanna of Sudbury was arrested last weekend as he was about to board a flight from Boston to start a new job in Saudi Arabia.
In an affidavit unsealed Monday, federal authorities allege the 26-year-old Mehanna lied to the FBI in December 2006 about the whereabouts of an acquaintance who was training at a terrorist camp in Somalia. He said the man was in Egypt.
The acquaintance, Daniel Maldonado, is serving a 10-year sentence after pleading guilty to training at an al-Qaida terrorist camp in Somalia.
Mehanna is not facing terrorism charges.
Mehanna is an American citizen with no criminal record, his lawyer, J.W. Carney Jr., told The Boston Globe. He graduated in May from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy.
Maldonado, also a U.S. citizen, said his goal at the camp in Somalia was to help overthrow the Somali government and install an Islamic state.

RED BANK CREEK (Hood County). Red Bank Creek rises in northwestern Hood County two miles southeast of Buckner, Parker County (at 32°32' N, 97°54' W). It flows north for 2½ miles, passing through gently undulating to steep land made up of sandy to clayey soils that support grasses and timber. For most of its history the Red Bank Creek area has been used for rangeland and mineral production. The intermittent stream empties into the Brazos River in northern Hood County (at 32°33' N, 97°52' W).

Photo Gallery: Inside Self-Storage World Expo, Las Vegas, March 14-16, 2012
Self-Storage Managers Love Las Vegas ... Especially When the Trip Is Free
As part of a special promotion for the Inside Self-Storage World Expo in Las Vegas, Self-Storage Talk, the official online community of ISS, hosted a contest to give away two Las Vegas travel packages. Site managers were invited to submit their most innovative and potentially successful ideas for generating facility revenue via the forum. The authors of the two best ideas were awarded with a free expo-education package, paid air travel on Southwest Airlines, and three free nights at the Paris Hotel & Casino, where the expo took place.
Here SST Community Manager John Carlisle (middle) poses with the winners of the contest, which was sponsored by Chateau Products Inc. Patty Sheridan (left) hails from Washington State, while Monica Miller manages a facility in Florida. To read Monica's winning idea about capitalizing on "Storage Wars," click here. Penelope's idea about introducing a "dollar menu" of add-on items is here.
The winning entries were selected for their originality, creativity, clarity and economic practicality. The entire thread of revenue-generating ideas is still available at SST. It's a good read for anyone looking to boost business.

Would you care to make any generalizations about how older women think differently from everyone else?
Asked by envidula61 (1011) November 26th, 2012
Yes, I know. Generalizations are not true for everyone. If you're unwilling to make them, that's fine. But if you are, I'd like to know how you think older women think differently. On any subject. Society. Taxes. Love. Sports. Music. Whatever. How do they think different?

Six and a half years after Gordon Brown finally badgered Tony Blair out of Downing Street, the relationship between these two men still dominates British politics. Why? Because David Cameron and George Osborne, and Ed Miliband and Ed Balls are, in their different ways, doing what they can to prevent history repeating itself. Their relationships are both informed by the Blair-Brown breakdown.
Cameron and Osborne have quite deliberately structured their working lives to avoid replicating the tensions within New Labour. The pair shared a set of offices in opposition with their aides sitting in the same room. This was meant to prevent the emergence of two separate, competing power centres. If it had not been for coalition, the pair would have carried this set up into government.
Even now, it is hard to see where one's team ends and the other's begins. Visitors to No. 11 are frequently told to go in the door of No. 10 and walk through the ostentatiously unlocked interconnecting door. Moreover, Osborne and his key aides are regularly present at No. 10's morning and afternoon meetings.
The cardinal sin in the eyes of the Tory leadership is to try to create, or exploit, differences between Cameron and Osborne. Cameron's No. 10 rarely briefs against ministers intentionally. But when, during the 2010 spending review, Liam Fox, then the defence secretary, tried to play the Prime Minister off against the Chancellor, authoritative word about how ineptly Cameron thought Fox had handled negotiations quickly reached the ears of journalists.
Those who work for Cameron and Osborne refuse to see any conflict of loyalties between serving the two men. When years ago I pressed one aide as to whom he owed allegiance he became quite testy, saying that this was a choice he would never have to make. He then added, as if this resolved the issue, 'They both came to my birthday party.'It was a reminder of how social ties are used to strengthen the Cameron project. Cameron and Osborne are godfathers to each other's children.
Their friendship has always been political. Indeed, there is an intriguing question about whether they would be friends if they were not engaged in this joint venture. One person who knows them both socially doubts that they would be. They point out that, 'If you look at Dave's friends, not many of them are like George', who is more far more urban than Cameron.
Politically, however, the two are joined at the hip. When Osborne was in trouble over first Deripaska's yacht and then the 2012 Budget, Cameron — and his aides — did what they could to help. There was never any suggestion of jettisoning him; Cameron is too loyal for that. As one senior No. 10 figure put it to me during the fallout from the 2012 Budget, 'The only person who can move George is George himself.'
But are they too close? Their shared background — public school and Oxford — means that they represent a politically unbalanced ticket. No. 10 has tried to counteract that by thrusting forward some more working-class figures. But as one minister notes, 'As long as George is there, every other appointment doesn't matter.'
There is also the question of whether a little more creative tension between the two men might not have proved helpful to the Tory cause. A more adversarial shadow chancellor might have objected to the expensive green policies that the Tory leader committed his party to in opposition.
No one could accuse Balls and Miliband of being too close. As Balls revealed this week, in close to 20 years of working together, they've never been to the pub together.
Whenever you ask Miliband's circle about relations between the two Eds, one is always told 'it is fine now'. The implication is that the two have worked through whatever differences stood between them. But the now infamous leaked email from Miliband's senior aide Torsten Bell, in which he described Balls as a 'nightmare', shows that tensions between the two camps remain. The Milibandites continue to regard Balls with suspicion and as a political liability. They think that he abets the Tory effort to link today's Labour party to the mistakes of the last Labour government. The ease with which Balls can be goaded into defending New Labour's economic record makes many of Miliband's allies despair.
But Balls and Miliband differ from Blair and Brown in two crucial ways. The first was pointed out by Tony Blair himself as Miliband agonised over whether to make Balls shadow chancellor in 2011. Miliband had deliberately not given the job to Balls when he first constructed his shadow cabinet, but Alan Johnson's resignation reopened the issue. Miliband was nervous about appointing Balls, fearful of a rerun of the Blair-Brown saga. But, in a telephone call, Blair reassured him by pointing out that there had been an actual contest between Miliband and Balls which Miliband had won.
The second is that Miliband and Balls both saw first-hand how destructive the Blair-Brown relationship proved. Balls is, also, well aware of how toxic his reputation for factionalism is. During the Labour leadership hustings, he would nearly always turn in the strongest performance. He was more in command of policy than anyone else and more relaxed. But the issue of Balls's involvement in the plot against Blair always hampered him. Balls cannot afford to be tarred as disloyal again.
Miliband is also determined to avoid a head-on collision with his shadow chancellor. Having put Balls back in his box over HS2, he now seems to be softening his opposition to a third runway at Heathrow. This extra runway is something which Balls regards as vital to Britain's economy and which the pair fell out over in government.
But significant differences between them remain. Balls still appears sceptical of Miliband's whole 'responsible capitalism' agenda, which is the raison d'être of his leadership. For their part, many of those close to Miliband reject the idea that the shadow chancellor has to have almost equal billing with the leader. Can a relationship like this really survive the stresses and strains of a general election campaign?
Cameron and Osborne, by contrast, have a tried and tested partnership. Their similarity might be a presentational problem. But the trust between them is one of the Tories' great political strengths.

The images tag is awesome.
I know it's been out for a while now but whoever thought of the latest txp image capabilities was really thinking about artists, designers and photographers. Thanks.

Re: [wiki] <txp:images />
The images tag, could use some love in the docs, so if you have some nifty tag-use examples for it, add them in or add them to this thread for someone else to add in.
Maybe we should move this thread to User Docs, since I'd like to turn it into such. :)
Ed. I edited the thread title for clarity, and towards a new thread titling convention I'd like to get caught-on in the user docs forum when it concerns a given tag. :)

Re: [wiki] <txp:images />
My only wish for
<txp:images/> is if it could automatically tell if you have a image category name in your article_image field.

Re: [wiki] <txp:images />
Ok I have a couple examples I will post here later.
#5 2011-08-15 19:49:46
Re: [wiki] <txp:images />
Ok here is a very simple but handy usage of the images tag. It will display a list of images by category in an article. It uses far less code than using the old image tag and is far handier. The article image thumbnail will show up on your section page with a thumbnail linked to the article. The article displays the category list of images. It is very useful if you have some kind of photo portfolio and want to display a series of images or "photo essays." Also it works well with javascript slide shows, For my personal work I have gone off slide shows in favour of lists of images on a page that has a fixed header. To see what I mean visit my example page link at the bottom.
Step 1.
First create and image category and upload your images.
Note. One of the image id's will be used in the article image for the thumbnail/link.
Step 2.
Put the images tag inside your article:
<txp:images category="watercolour" form="essays" wraptag="ul" break="" />
Step 3
Create the form with the image and image_info tags. Image info will put the caption beneath the image:
<txp:image class="essays" wraptag="li" class="imagelist" break=" " />
<txp:image_info break="li" breakclass="imageinfo" />
Step 4
Create the code for the page:
<txp:if_individual_article><txp:article form="slides" status="sticky"/>
<txp:else />

<txp:article_custom form="mythumbform" section="mysection" status="sticky" />
Variation for slide shows

<txp:article form="slides" status="sticky"/>
<txp:else />

<txp:article_custom form="mythumbform" section="mysection" status="sticky" />
I used sticky status to keep the articles off the homepage of my blog. There is probably a better way but it works for me. Also there may be betters ways of doing this so ask someone more experienced first.

Re: [wiki] <txp:images />
I haven't tried it, but it looks like a nice tutorial. It might even be better placed in TXP Tips since it's involving a fair bit more code than just a simple tag example for
images. But I'll have a look at it later when I get a chance and see if it can be included in the wiki page more succinctly.
Thanks for stepping up!

I like that idea; still keeps things in context and starts to make stronger bridges with related topics in TXP Tips. Good call.

Lamar Overwhelms New Orleans
Hilliard records a double-double with 19 points, 11 assists
BEAUMONT, Texas – Junior Nimrod Hilliard scored 19 points and dished out 11 assists while guiding Lamar to an impressive 89-72 victory over New Orleans Thursday night at the Montagne Center. The victory snapped a seven-game slide, and marked the first victory for interim head coach Tic Price in Beaumont.
There was plenty of scoring to go around as every Cardinal who played, except for one, scored. Lamar finished the night with four players in double figures. In addition to Hilliard junior Anthony Holliday added 18 points on a near perfect 7-of-9 (.778) from the field.
Facing the final two games of his career, senior Amos Wilson stepped on the court with added urgency. The Allen, Texas native added 17 points on 5-of-7 (.714) shooting. He also pulled down a team-high seven rebounds. Junior Donovan Ross filled up the stat s sheet with 12 points, five rebounds, three steals, two blocks and two assists.
"Our motivation is that we are tired of losing," said Hilliard. "We've been losing all season, and we're tired of it. We haven't quit, and we are not going to quit. We also want to get this done for Amos. He is leaving and we would like to send him off on a good note."
The Cardinals wasted no time in taking an early advantage. Trailing by two points, Lamar got baskets from Wilson and Hilliard to take a two-point lead with 17:42 remaining in the opening half – a lead it would not relinquish.
Sparked by one of Holliday's seven field goals on the night the Cards rattled off a 14-2 run to build a 26-12 advantage midway through the opening half. After UNO trimmed the lead to 11 points, Lamar went back on the attack outscoring the Privateers 16-4 over the next 5:49 to take a 23-point lead before UNO's James Harrison hit a three at the buzzer to cut the deficit to 20 heading into the locker room.
The Cardinals were aggressive in all phases of the game to start the contest. Lamar torched the nets knocking down 55 percent of their shots in the first 20 minutes, and outrebounding their guests by four. While the Privateers were a solid 10-of-25 (.400) from the floor to start the game, Lamar cashed in on every UNO mistake.
The Cards forced UNO into 12 turnovers which were converted into 20 points. New Orleans put Lamar on the free throw line 12 times in the first half, and Lamar connected on 10 of those attempts. Lamar also had a 13-2 advantage in second chance points, while their bench outscored UNO, 12-2.
"We came out with great intensity tonight," said head coach Tic Price. "I thought we did a very good job of forcing turnovers tonight. Our rotation in our pressure defense was very good. Everyone was engaged in the game. Any time you can convert turnovers into points it helps. We also got some great minutes from our bench tonight. I thought we were able to sustain our energy for 40 minutes."
It was more of the same in the second half as Lamar built its lead to 27 points less than four minutes into the half. The Privateers found some life after facing the largest deficit for a Lamar opponent this season. UNO began chipping away at the Cardinals' lead, and cut the deficit to 12 points behind a 16-of-28 (.571) second half performance and Harrison's team-high 17 points.
The 12-point gap would be as close as UNO would get to a rally as freshman Preston Mattingly converted an and-one on the very next possession to get the lead back to 15. Mattingly tied a career high with his eight points, and pulled down a career-high six rebounds. Following Mattingly's three-point play, the Cardinals pushed the lead back to 20 points and melted the clock away for their fourth win of the season.
Lamar finished the game shooting 54 percent from the field, and knocked down 22-of-27 (.815) attempts from the free throw line. The Cards forced UNO into 20 turnovers on the night, which Lamar converted into 33 points on the other end.
The Cardinals return to action Saturday when they close out the season against Southeastern Louisiana. The game against the Lions will tip off 30 minutes following the conclusion of the women's game and will start no earlier than 6 p.m.

Doors 7:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Hey Buddy!
Hey Buddy brings you the finest in comedic diversion, presenting for your enjoyment the best stand-up comics in the city, nay, THE COUNTRY. Performers who have appeared on HBO, Comedy Central, Conan, Adult Swim and more offer mirth and enlightenment to assuage the ravages and sorrow of this troubled age. Free for you and your family.

He has performed in the Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival, LA Comedy Fest, the Vancouver Comedy Festival, the DC Comedy Fest, and theLeicester Comedy Festival in the United Kingdom.
He now resides in Los Angeles. He'll have you know he was rated #5 in the Top 10: Emerging Comedians list on Askmen.com. Check Kinane out on YouTube if you're ready for "a bleak, misanthropic, Ernest Hemingway look-alike with a penchant for suicide jokes," as one British media outlet described him. They're, uh, the happy kind of suicide jokes. Honest.
Eric Andre
Originally from Boca Raton, Florida, Eric André now lives in Los Angeles by way of New York and performs live almost every night of the week. Andre brings a manic energy to the stage, combining autobiographical experiences, politics, and experimental psychedelic rambling.

Growing up white and Catholic in a neighborhood full of African Americans, Orthodox Jews, Nigerians, Mexicans, Indians, Pakistanis, and every ethnic and religious group imaginable gave Roy a unique perspective on getting along in a crowded world. Roy's lifesaving heart surgery and altruistic parents gave him an appreciation of the importance of comedy as a means to social change. Chicago's rich cultural heritage, economic
differences, and fast-paced lifestyle contributed to his observations on how we get by in a changing world.

This place is so bad that we just had to laugh! I will not bother to write down my list of complaints as they are very similar to many of the others listed here.
I will just concur that in my opinion it is the worst caravan site in Britain.
What really made our day was the manager.He was as about as helpful and efficient as poor old Basil himself. So don't complain to the manager because you will not get anywhere but you may split your sides laughing.

By Paul Ketchum
I have been reading the articles in the Sentinel about Proposition R and decided to research it. I have read the ballot, the school board's resolution, and downloaded and read (several times) the San Diego County Taxpayers Association position paper on Prop. R.
I would urge all my fellow citizens to read the SDCTA position paper.
The $66 million bond will cost the taxpayers $121 million to $126 million over its 25-year span.
While much is promoted about the SDCTA supporting Prop. R, I can find nothing within the SDCTA document to suggest that they think the proposed spending is either prudent or needed. Rather it seems to be an analysis of the information the district provided SDCTA to assess whether it met their criteria for transparency in bond initiatives for taxpayers' consideration, what SDCTA refers to as School Bond Support Criteria. The information met 9 of 12 of SDCTA criteria.
The three criteria that were not met are:
• Program Execution Plan,
• Deferred Maintenance and Major Repair and Replacement Plan, and
• Complete Ballot and Resolution Language.
A good deal of this money is being used to repair facilities ($2.9 million) and buy technology upgrades ($7.484 million). Both of these items are short-term problems which the district would have us pay for 25 years. The issue of facilities in need of repair rests squarely on the shoulders of district management. Part of management is to properly use its resources to include adequate facility maintenance. A good portion of the nearly $7.5M in technology they want us to pay for will undoubtedly be obsolete in a matter of just several years. Both these items should be part of any organization's annual operating and IT capital expenditure plans. I wonder how many of my fellow citizens would take out a 25-year loan to buy a computer or re-roof their home?
With regard to the facility repairs I will quote from the SDCTA document:
"….it is unclear if the District will be able to maintain facilities following completion of the bond program,…."
"…the District eliminated funding for deferred maintenance in FY2009 and plans to do the same through FY2014."
"Of the $5.9 million in their deferred maintenance backlog, the District estimates that $2.9 million in projects will be addressed by the proposed bond. The remaining $3 million will need to be addressed in the future. The balance of the backlog is anticipated to be completed at a later date with either a later bond issuance or the reinstatement of the State's deferred maintenance program."
Another large component of Prop. R is to refinance debt incurred to build schools.
"There is approximately $22.7 million in outstanding COP debt." Refinancing this debt eliminates approximately $1.4 million per year in payments. The District has said none of the bond money would go to salaries. Where is this $1.4 million per year the District will not be paying for COP debt going to go? My guess is a good portion would go toward salaries.
As a taxpayer being asked to pay hundreds of dollars a year for the next 25 years, I have a few things I would like to ask the Superintendent and President of the School Board. I have been reading for some time that the District is nearly broke, and at risk of being put into receivership by the state if the financial situation does not improve. I also read the District brought on board a consulting firm to advise and help prepare Prop. R. How did you pay these consultants and how much? Did you cut a contingency deal with them where they get paid if Prop. R passes and if so, how much?
I urge my fellow citizens to carefully read the SDCTA's Prop. R position paper, as well as the ballot wording before you vote.
As for me, I vote no to more taxes. I don't believe this is about 21st Century Education, rather it seems to be about a lack of 21st Century Management. It's time to hold the school board and district management accountable for sound fiscal and resource management practices.
In my opinion, Prop. R is not sound fiscal management.

Who can be darts' George Best?
Telegraph Sport: where the debate starts
Darts is experiencing some short-term pain – but it should result in long-term gain.
Phil 'The Power' Taylor's surprise early exit from the £1m Ladbrokes World Championship at Alexandra Palace was a blow to broadcasters Sky Sports as well as the tournament itself.
Taylor has dominated darts for well over two decades – succeeding Eric Bristow at the head of the sport – winning an incredible 16 world titles in the process.
But for a man who will be 54-years-old in a few months time to be by far the best player does nothing for efforts to portray darts as a legitimate sport.
So although the World Championship has obviously lost some of its gloss with Taylor's departure, having a new champion will certainly do the image of the sport the power of good and no doubt help it grow in the longer term.
Taylor has indicated he could go on for another four years, but darts needs a new star to propel the game forward.
Finding the 'next' Phil Taylor has proved as elusive as finding the 'next' George Best.
The likes of Adrian Lewis and James Wade have both threatened to take over from Taylor without quite managing to scale the peak, even though the former did win back-to-back world crowns.
Michael van Gerwen has also been tipped as the next big thing in darts, but he lost to Taylor in the final 12 months ago.
Darts needs its new champion – and a new direction.

SIA 2012: Day 4
29 Jan, 2012
I can always count on the SIA Tradeshow to be an amazing experience. SIA at Denver keeps products close to the mountain and fun parties with great people. Day four of the show was finishing up booth visits, getting the last catalogs and photos before heading out to the on-snow for the next couple days at Winter Park.
POW gloves keeping up with rad designs and gloves that offer Gore Tex so your hands stay dry on the mountain.
Spy Goggles keeps up the good work with a lot of great pro rider and artist series for creativity.
The crew at Flux Bindings were definitely the friendliest of the show. Props to them for keeping their bindings super comfortable and bright for 2013.
Offering up another way to get into the backcountry, MTN Approach at SIA keeps it simple with a ski that folds up and fits easily into a backpack. Only 4lbs of weight for each ski.
Pretty rad to see Venture Snowboards playing around with shapes build for feet of pow and mountain riding while continuing their signature snowflake.
Checked out the latest from Airblaster for 2013
Over the years, K2 Snowboarding has really stepped it up with an awesome line of boards, bindings and boots. I'm really digging the looks this year.
Dragon Optics continues with the success of the APX goggle but with a new smaller frame version called the APXS.
The last stop of the show ended at Sessions Outerwear where I got a great look at the upcoming collection, prints and designs of the outerwear.
After the show ended, it was time to lug the last of the heavy backpack over to the Hyatt, grab my luggage and pack up the car for a drive around Denver. A much needed lunch with mom, then we hit the road to Winter Park to load up on groceries, then head to our condo. Pretty excited to be back in the mountains with the cold air and the on-snow demos the next two days.
Looking forward to Winter Park tomorrow and trying out the new gear. Starting to make a list of what boards/bindings to try out.

The 'control' plugin brings the ability to VDR to control
the whole OSD over a telnet client.
To reach this, 'control' listens on a network socket
(default is port 2002). If a client wants to connect, VDR
checks if that client is allowed to connect to VDR (see in
the documentation of VDR about the svdrphosts.conf file for
more info). If the connection is etablished, 'control'
sends the curent OSD state to the client. Also all key
strokes at the client side are redirected to VDR.

Investing: Six People Who Helped Shape a Tumultuous DecadeBy
Financial markets are all about herd behavior. Especially in a decade marked by repeated bouts of collective euphoria and collective panic, it's difficult to find individuals who stood out. Yet some key figures did make their mark during the aughts, the pre-teens, or whatever the 2000s will ultimately be known as. Bloomberg BusinessWeek wanted to identify the handful of people who most affected individual investors over the past 10 years. Our choices are admittedly subjective. Indeed, several other names came close to making the roster—and they are listed as "honorable mentions" at the end of this article. (We'd certainly like to hear your ideas on the topic via the comments section below.) 1. Alan GreenspanFrom 1987 to 2006, former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan set interest rates for the world's largest economy. And, through most of that period, he kept rates very low. In the 1990s and early 2000s, Greenspan was called the "maestro" for his ability to prop up flagging markets or boost the economy. "He was deified," says David Darst, head strategist at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. "Now, he's being demonized." The chief criticism, says independent market strategist Doug Peta: "Greenspan did a lot to create the conditions for the credit bubble that occurred in the decade." His hands-off approach meant that he did little to discourage bubbles in Internet stocks and housing prices. But, contradictorily, he did a lot when the market faltered, such as after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks or the Asian financial crisis. His interventions encouraged investors to take too many wild risks, critics say. "If the markets were down, he was always there to protect them," says William Rutherford, president of Rutherford Investment Management and author of Who Shot Goldilocks?: How Alan Greenspan Did In Our Jobs, Savings, and Retirement Plans. Would another Fed chairman have done the same thing, given the economic conditions at the time? Maybe, Darst says. "Greenspan was an expression of the national will," he says. But now, "when everything is going wrong, everybody looks for a scapegoat." Through a spokeswoman, Greenspan declined to comment. 2. Chinese President Hu Jintao and 3. Premier Wen JiabaoBehind closed doors, these two men set policy for the earth's most populous nation—with few checks on their power. Since both took their current jobs in 2003, they have continued China's economic liberalization. It's a process that began in the late 1970s but significantly altered the investing landscape in the past decade. For example, China's low labor costs and cheap exports have helped keep inflation low around the world. "China has lowered the costs of capital and allowed us to do aggressive—and, it turned out, foolish—things," says Todd McCallister, managing director at Eagle Asset Management. The deflationary effect of China was one reason Greenspan and other central bankers could keep interest rates so low, encouraging increased risk-taking around the globe, McCallister argues. China and the U.S. have spent the past decade locked in an unbalanced relationship, in which American consumers gobble up Chinese imports while the Chinese government keeps its currency low and buys up U.S. government debt. The strength of the Chinese economy and the rise of other emerging markets like India and Brazil have also changed where investors put their money. "What you're seeing is the global economy becoming much less U.S.-centric," says David Rosenberg, chief economist at investment manager Gluskin Sheff. It's hard to find a market or economic trend not affected by China's rapid growth rate in the past 10 years: Though China may have helped keep inflation down early in the decade, demand from China began to push commodity prices to record heights by 2008. And, during the global recession, Hu and Wen aggressively stimulated their economy, helping fuel a market rebound in 2009. 4. Warren BuffettThe chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) made plenty of mistakes in the past decade. He arguably overinvested in financial stocks like American Express (AXP) and Wells Fargo (WFC), Peta notes. But Warren Buffett's credibility largely survived a brutal decade that humbled many other famous investors. His reputation was enhanced by his skepticism of the tech boom early in the decade and his warnings about the derivatives—which he called "financial weapons of mass destruction"—that caused trouble later in the decade. His long-term investing approach was an important antidote to the decade's booms and busts. "As a value investor, he has tried to look beyond the here and now," Peta says. By the depths of the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, Buffett was a unique figure among American capitalists. Unlike almost all his peers, says Mary Ellen Stanek, Robert W. Baird chief investment officer, "he had the money and he had the credibility." Some worries were eased in October 2008, when Buffett penned an article assuring panicked investors that he was buying U.S. stocks. Many troubled financial institutions reportedly sought Buffett's aid during the crisis. He chose carefully: On favorable investment terms, he helped stabilize two of the most iconic U.S. companies, General Electric (GE) and Goldman Sachs (GS). And as the crisis eased, Buffett resumed his habit of big acquisitions. He capped the decade with the $44 billion takeover of railroad Burlington Northern (BNI). Buffett could not be reached for comment. 5. Steve CaseRapid advances in technology forever changed the investing landscape in the past decade, and many individual tech executives and inventors made their mark. Technology allowed the creation of new financial products, from exchange-traded funds to complex securitized derivatives, and the whole market seemed to speed up. Transaction costs have fallen, says William Quinn, chairman of American Beacon Advisors. But the speed of technology also "creates more of a trading mentality, which I don't think is good for investors or for companies that need capital long-term," he says. Steve Case, the former chief executive and chairman of America Online (AOL), played a unique role in the decade's technological change, representing both the excesses of the tech boom and its great successes. A master marketer, Case arguably popularized the Internet by building America Online into the leading U.S. Internet portal, with 17 million users by 1999. Then, as the new decade began, he epitomized the tech craze with AOL's bold $166 billion purchase of traditional media firm Time Warner (TWX). The merger, which proved disastrous, was a "hubristic act," Darst says. Hype about the Internet caused investors to lose billions of dollars when the tech bubble burst in the following two years. But widespread use of the Internet and other technologies transformed the way markets worked. Individual investors got unprecedented access to the markets—and the financial info that is their lifeblood—through home Internet connections. Case's current firm, Revolution LLC, did not respond to requests for comment. 6. John BogleNot every important figure of the decade played a direct role in the markets. Some had a more subtle influence, changing the way investors thought about the world. John Bogle, the now-retired founder of Vanguard Group, has spent decades fighting for lower expenses for mutual fund investors. And his Vanguard Group helped create the low-cost, passively managed mutual fund, an approach that typically provides investors with returns that are better than those of high-cost managed funds. "His influence has been felt more in the last 10 years," argues Tom McGuigan, principal at Burns Advisory Group. One reason: In the tough market conditions of this decade, investors started to notice how much of their savings were being siphoned off by the investment industry. "In the good markets of the late '90s, nobody cared," he says. In an interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Bogle says his investment advice this decade "batted pretty close to 1,000." But on his other objective—changing the mutual fund industry—"I was an abject failure," he says. "Most of the things I said we should stop have actually gotten worse." According to Morningstar (MORN), the average expense ratio for domestic stock funds has fallen from 1.38% in 2000 to 1.24%. That's still far above index fund expense ratios, typically well below 0.5%. Such index funds have become a part of 401(k) plans demanded by savvy investors. During the whole decade, $188.4 billion flowed into low-cost U.S. stock index funds, according to Morningstar. However, almost $522 billion still flowed into higher-fee funds. This month, Bogle issued a new version of his 1999 book, Common Sense on Mutual Funds, updated to reflect what has changed over the past decade. Though he continues to warn about the ways that the mutual fund industry overcharges investors for subpar returns, the 80-year-old Bogle says his message is at least being heard by individual investors and financial advisers. "There is an awareness of" the importance of investing costs, Bogle says. "We're starting to get that." If you're hunting for other key people of the decade, there are plenty of investing figures to choose from: Stephen Schwarzman, the co-founder of Blackstone Group (BX), was a driver of the decade's private equity boom. Apple (AAPL) Chief Executive Steve Jobs and Google (GOOG) founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin led two of the most important companies of the decade. Leaders of financial firms were equally important, though far more troublesome to investors, including figures like Angelo Mozilo, the founder of mortgage giant Countrywide Financial. Washington, D.C., also provided its share of influential figures. George W. Bush's eight-year Presidency had a profound effect on U.S. foreign policy, tax rates, market regulation, and the appointments of Federal Reserve officials. Along with Bush, current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner had crucial roles in the worst financial crisis in a lifetime. Whose impact do you think we're exaggerating? Whose influence do you think we're missing? In the spirit of the giant water cooler that is the Internet, let us hear what you have to say in the reader discussion section below.

Starting today, all new Verizon (NYSE:VZ[1]) mobile customers will be added to the company's new "Share Everything" plan, which management devised as a way to streamline its pricing strategy and drive sales growth.
While customers have mixed feelings about this new pricing plan, this is simply one part of a larger growth strategy. I have all the details today, so whether you're a Verizon customer or a potential investor, you won't want to miss this one.
If you live in the United States, chances are you have heard of the massive rivalry[2] between Verizon and AT&T (NYSE:T[3]). However, many don't realize that Verizon started as an AT&T spinoff in 1984. Fast forward almost three decades later, and Verizon has emerged as a global force in the broadband and telecommunications industry.
The company has diversified into a number of telecommunications services, including land line telephone and internet services, as well as one of the most advanced wireless networks on the planet. With nearly 194,000 employees worldwide, Verizon brought in over $110 billion in sales for 2011.
This week, Verizon Wireless and competitor T-Mobile USA agreed to swap spectrum licenses covering 218 U.S. markets. T-Mobile will give Verizon spectrum covering 22 million people in addition to an undisclosed cash payment in exchange for Verizon's spectrum licenses that will cover 60 million people. In a nutshell this will give T-Mobile greater 4G coverage and Verizon will benefit in the short-term from the cash.
In addition to this deal Verizon hopes to purchase $3.9 billion in spectrum from cable companies. Earlier in June, Verizon unveiled a plan to purchase[4] Hughes Telematics (PINK:HUTC[5]), a specialist in location-based services for cars, for $612 million. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter, and the company will retain its existing management team and remain headquartered in Atlanta.
For some weeks now industry analysts and customers alike have been puzzling over Verizon's new Share Everything plan, which some call the biggest change to pricing in the telecom industry in over two decades.
Basically all users on a family plan will share an alloted block of data for the month, starting at 1GB for $50. On top of that, each additional device is charged a monthly fee; smartphones are an extra $40, feature phones are $30 and tablets are $10. The benefit of this is that families will multiple devices will have an easier time tracking data usage compared with the old model-where each device has a separate data plan.
Verizon will text customers when they have exceeded their data limit for the month, and unlimited talk and text are also built into this plan. In the end this plan mostly benefits larger families with a variety of smart devices, but some single users will find themselves paying more for a limited data plan compared with their old unlimited plans.
One of the biggest complaints is that customers that are grandfathered into the company's old unlimited data plan can't upgrade to a new phone without paying the original retail cost for the device. The only way to get the subsidized phone is by switching over the the Family Share plan.
Regardless of the mixed reviews it will certainly be interesting to see whether Verizon's new pricing scheme is a trailblazer for the rest of the industry or if the ire of customers will hit the company's bottom line.
Before you buy any stock, you should always run it through my free Portfolio Grader[6] ratings system. For all but one of the past 12 months, this stock has been a consistent "buy". However, the company's operating margin and cash flow were hit in the first quarter, so VZ's fundamental grade is pretty lackluster. As it stands, Verizon is only strong in terms of return on equity and earnings growth and has mediocre sales growth and earnings revisions. The real thing that keeps VZ in "buy" territory is its strong level of buying pressure. This is a B-rated stock.
As of this posting, June 28, I consider VZ a B-rated Buy. However I recommend that you proceed with caution with VZ because a drop in buying pressure could easily send this stock down to a hold.
Sound Off: What do you think about VZ? Are you a buyer at current prices? Let me know what you think by posting on our wall on Facebook.[7]

text: Lone Scout's Dream Team Q&A: Round 5 Thu 04 Apr, 2013, 10:30am Lone Scout, NRL.com Tweet Email Print Tom Humble has emerged as a potential Dream Team cash cow following his elevation to the role of Penrith's starting five-eighth. Credit: NRL Photos Copyright: NRL Photos We're into the second month of the season, head-to-head leagues are underway, the cash cows are climbing, and NRL Dream Team continues to heat up.Some of us have been fairly lucky with injuries and are already claiming early bragging rights (the Scouts are sitting just outside the top 100 at the moment, in case you're wondering), while others are busy trading out big-name flops, chasing more bargains, and watching their star halfback score -4.Chris Sandow aside, there are plenty of talking points for Dream Teamers considering this week's trades. Is the latest cash cow sensation the real deal? Is Jarryd Hayne still a Dream Team gun? Can Kurt Gidley survive a whole game without getting injured? If you're wondering what to do this week with Tom Humble, Jamie Buhrer, Hayne, Gidley, Sandow, Nathan Smith, Jack Stockwell, Adam Cuthbertson or Scott Moore, then read on...From Ian McPherson on FacebookTime to jump on the Tom Humble train? After replacing Lachlan Coote at five-eighth for Penrith and posting two decent scores, Humble is the obvious cash cow buy of the week. He won't score long-range tries every game so his latest score of 53 is probably a one-off, but he comes at a great price and is a guaranteed moneymaker this week. I'm strongly considering bringing him in for axed Tigers halfback Jacob Miller. From Stephen Uglow on FacebookWhat is Humble's job security like? Upon the return of Walsh, will he retain his starting position in the halves?This is the big risk with bringing in Humble now. Penrith supremo Phil Gould has said that halfback Luke Walsh's demotion to the NSW Cup isn't permanent, meaning he'll be back in first grade sooner or later. That is likely to come at the expense of either Humble or new Panthers halfback Blake Austin, so it could be a playoff between those two over the next few weeks to see who keeps a starting spot. Austin's been in good form in the lower grades and could end up being the better cash cow of the two if he performs, but the fact Humble was the first choice to replace Lachlan Coote as five-eighth suggests he's got the inside running to hold his spot at the moment. It's not a sure thing by any means, but if you're going to get Humble, you want him this week before his first price rise.From Matthew Dutton on FacebookThoughts on a Jarryd Hayne replacement Lone Scout?I've got Hayne in my side, and will keep him. He's been a 50+ point player in the past and even without his usual kick metres should be scoring in the mid-40s or thereabouts by the end of the season. That still puts him in the top bracket of Dream Team fullbacks, so I see any possible replacement as a sideways trade (unless you haven't got Greg Inglis yet). And if you see Hayne as a keeper, then his price changes don't matter.From Iain Stanmore on TwitterKurt Gidley named at hooker this week: better or worse than him playing in the halves from a DT point of view?It's hard to say. He's unlikely to play the full 80 minutes with Danny Buderus to come off the bench for the Knights and Tyrone Roberts playing well at halfback, but he should get a lot of defensive work while he is on the field. His kick metres won't drop too much as Jarrod Mullen did most of the kicking anyway when Gidley played halfback, although he'll obviously lose some goal kicking points if the Knights score while he's on the bench. My guess is that the extra tackles will roughly cancel out the other points losses, but we'll have to wait and see this week.From Conor Fitzgerald on FacebookKeep Gidley or trade out LS?I'm keeping. Ignore last week's score – he only played half the game before leaving the field with concussion. He's still got price rises in him when he eventually strings a few games together.From Ed-Cassie Taylor on FacbookWill Jamie Buhrer continue to lose minutes now that Tom Symonds has pushed him to the bench? Should I trade him out?Yes, it looks like Symonds has the edge on Buhrer for now, and it won't get any better when Glenn Stewart returns from injury for Manly in Round 7. I'd sell (in fact, I sold him last week).From Daniel Nelson on FacebookThoughts on dumping Sandow?Tough one. Sandow's got a high break even now (71) but he had barely any kick metres and a lot of missed tackles against the Roosters, and that won't happen every week. He'll lose money this week but if he strings together a few more 50s his price will eventually climb a bit more. I'd probably stay patient with him, but he's always going to be a risky player. If you're within reach of buying a Cronk or Cherry-Evans, make the move when you can.From Zoe Zapper Teloar on FacebookIs it worth trading Nathan Smith for Jack Stockwell?Looks like a good trade, but you can wait a week before locking it in – Stockwell's only played one game for the Dragons so won't get a price rise for another couple of weeks, while Nathan Smith hasn't been named for Penrith this week so his price won't fall again (unless he's a late inclusion). Stockwell had great base stats on the weekend and scored 40 points in 35 minutes, but could lose his starting spot when Michael Weyman returns from a knee injury in about Round 8. That means he's probably a short-term option, but it could be enough time to earn some cash. I'll be considering this trade next week.From Joe Reacher on FacebookThoughts on Adam Cuthbertson Lone Scout?He won't score two tries every week, like he did on the weekend, so don't expect too many more scores in the 60s. Cuthbertson's a good player on his day and has looked great off the bench this year but I'm not quite convinced yet for DT. He comes at an awkward middle-of-the-road price, and traditionally scores in the low 30s. He is guaranteed price rise this week though, and should get decent game time over the next couple of months with Beau Scott sidelined with groin surgery.From Nick Kershaw on FacebookWho would be a good replacement for Scott Moore as a reserve hooker? I still want to make cash off that position but I don't think he will go up in price any more.I've got the same issue Nick, but I'm holding. Two reasons why. First, with a break even of 19, Moore should keep slowly rising in value, particularly if he manages to get a decent score or two in the next few weeks. He's still getting used to the game in Australia, and as a starting hooker his scores shouldn't get any lower than the mid-20s he's hitting right now. If he gets shifted back to the bench then it'll be time to worry.The other reason is there simply aren't many other good cash cow options out there in the hooker position. Nathan Fien will climb this week but costs $233,800 already, John Morris at the Sharks costs even more, and Matt McIlwrick will get his first boost this week but is no guarantee to hold down a spot on the Raiders' bench. They're your best trade options of the cash cows, but I suggest you hold onto Moore for now and look to upgrade him to a gun when you can.Follow the Lone Scout and ask your questions on Facebook, Twitter, or via email.
