USAID Spent $2.7 Bln on Programs in Russia - State Dept
WASHINGTON, September 18 (RIA Novosti)
Related News
During its operations in Russia, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has spent some $2.7 billion on various programs in Russia, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said on Tuesday.
"Over the last 20 years that we've had an AID program in Russia, since the end of the Soviet Union, we've spent about $2.7 billion overall," Nuland told a press briefing.
The U.S. State Department said earlier on Tuesday that the United States is ending its efforts to promote democracy and civil society in Russia under the auspices of USAID in line with a relevant decision by the Russian government. It said the U.S. received a relevant official notification on September 12.
"The AID budget for fiscal year 2012 is about $50 million, in addition to the civil society programs, we… will look for ways to continue with those members of Russian civil society who want to continue to work with us," Nuland said.
There has been no official reaction from the Russian authorities yet.
USAID, which operates in more than 100 countries, has been active in Russia over the past two decades. Its array of social programs have targeted issues such as at-risk youth and pressing public health issues like tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
But the agency has also funded civic organizations that have rankled Russian officials, including the election watchdog Golos, whose monitors have catalogued violations in local and federal elections in recent years.
The United States has repeatedly denied that these programs are aimed at interfering in Russia's domestic affairs.

- bielecShe can stick it up her @$$01:09, 19/09/2012The U.S. has never had a public, universal health care such as the one in Russia, in Cuba, and in other post-communist countries. This was just a pretext to plant these organizations in Russia.
The real goal was to support dissent and to finance a color revolution which would open Russia to western capital and globalization. "Civil society" is a code term for political interference, unrest, and regime change.
"Those members of Russian civil society who want to continue to work with" the CIA, should spend some patriotic rehabilitation time in labor camps where they would be provided with opportunities to contribute to the society in a positive way.
- sohelsaheenbielec and the US aid12:37, 19/09/2012@Bielec...YOU ARE 1000000000000000% RIGHT.
- lmMr. Putin don't blink for one second they are just waiting.22:55, 19/09/2012You are a billion times over correct, the Russian opposition are a disaster in waiting, just as some middle men in Russian defense industry and ministry who lobby to buy foreign military equipment in the process filling their pockets and banking the cash aboard.
Putin has to seriously break this cancer in the defense ministry just as he did with the NGO's.
They are also creating and purposely imposing setback in foreign defense contracts to deliver hardware as promise to foreign customers undermining Russia potential as a serious player on the International arms market throwing thousands of Russians out of jobs.
Putin has to check also the oppositions families who work in the protected forces, the so called Liberals families also because they can influence their families views in favor of their views so that in times of conflict which they promise to bring to Putin's door step they have part of the arm forces with them.
Mr. Putin do not trust the Liberals, opposition, Oligarchs, Chechen so called strong man who seems to have long term ambitions that would lead him into conflict with Moscow and the West for one micro second they are all part of the same dirty egg nest plotting your down fall.
- mishkaOnce more molodez Putin.12:50, 19/09/2012As you remember recently Putin's administration ratified a new law limits the acts foreign Nonprofit civil organizations in Russia. He was right once more. I agree with bielec, civil society is one of the codes zionist order uses in a meaning of to efforts to invate and hold a country. Nuland says they spend billions of dollars in Russia. Yes some of them was this weekend by6 march of millions rally perhaps. On attempts to buy some ,Russian to use them against their own country by creating violances like it happend in Syria recently.
Why do they leave Russia just when it has been prevented some treat capable foreign activities in Russia if USAID is innocent? CAn it be just coincidence? NEVER. NEVER.
- bielecIt's interesting to know that...15:24, 19/09/2012...the term "civil society" was coined and used in many countries by NGOs financed by the Soros and Ford Foundations and by the National Edowment for Democracy.
They do not use the term "democracy" because "civil society" has nothing to do with democracy. It means that the society is infiltrated by Western agencies using some citizens to spread dissent and political unrest.
These agencies are unelected and unaccountable to the society. The process takes place outside of established political structures and its nature is profoundly anti-democratic.

A kiss for baby! Eric Dane and wife Rebecca Gayheart lavish attention on their girls as they enjoy a family day out
They may be famous, but at home Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart are simply mommy and daddy.
And it seems the doting parents who are totally besotted with their children.
Eric and Rebecca's love for their little girls, Billie, almost three, and one-year-old Georgia, was evident as they stepped out on Sunday for a happy family affair.
Daddy's little girl: Eric Dane gave his youngest daughter, Georgia, a smooch during a family outing on Sunday with wife Rebecca Gayheart
The 40-year-old actor, perhaps best known for his role as Dr Mark 'McSteamy' Sloan on Grey's Anatomy, was spotted giving his youngest girl a hug and a kiss.
Eric proved what a wonderful father he is as cradled Georgia in his arms, and so patient even when the baby tried to push him away.
Georgia was so cute in her ivory jacket and cuffed jeans, with a pacifier in her mouth and a ribbon in her hair.
Hands on: While Eric minded Georgia, Rebecca held onto daughter Billie, who turns three in March
Cherish: Eric seemed so happy to be spending time with his girls following a trip to Europe last week
The tot wriggled her toes in her white socks as if impatient to get to where they were going.
Rebecca, meanwhile, was hands on as she smilingly toted curly-haired Billie in one arm and a bundle that looked like presents in her other hand.
The 41-year-old actress also lugged a heavy black handbag, but she seemed not to mind the extra weight at all.
Both parents were dressed casually yet fashionable, with silvery-haired Eric decked out in black jeans and a grey T-shirt underneath black jacket, along with new black trainers.
McDaddy: Eric left his role on Grey's Anatomy in August to concentrate on his film career, but his favourite job to date is as father
Rebecca was similarly dressed in cuffed jeans and a black coat over a yellow-striped jumper.
No doubt the couple - wed since 2004 - were blissfully happy to be reunited with the family after spending time in Europe.
Eric and Rebecca had only been home since Saturday, when they landed at LAX.
Starry night: Eric and Rebecca dressed up to attend the IWC Schaffhausen Race Night event on Tuesday in Geneva, Switzerland
On Tuesday the glamorous couple attended the IWC Schaffhausen Race Night Event during the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie 2013 at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland.
Meanwhile, Eric, who quit Grey's Anatomy after six seasons in August, recently won the role of Captain Tom Chandler in a new series, The Last Ship, directed by Michael Bay.
The story follows the crew of a naval destroyer who are among the only survivors on Earth after a global catastrophe decimates the world's population.
And Rebecca is currently filming the romantic comedy For Better or for Worse opposite Jeffrey Tambor and Janeane Garofalo.

Popcorn Lung Couple Receive $20 Million, File Bankruptcy
The couple, Eric and Cassandra Peoples, won a lawsuit in 2004 dubbed "popcorn lung" for what were determined at the time to be heath injuries that Eric suffered from workplace exposure to the chemical diacetyl, an ingredient used to give popcorn its buttery flavor and aroma.
In the years since Peoples filed his suit, other workers elsewhere around the U.S. have sued for the same injury and won.
As reported by ABC News, Dutch researchers were first to establish a relationship between the chemical and a condition known as "popcorn lung," which first came to light among U.S. popcorn workers in 2001 at a plant making microwaveable popcorn.
According to U.S. researcher David Michaels, a former assistant secretary of energy, heated diacetyl produces a gas not only toxic but potentially lethal. "It just devastates their lungs," he told ABC News. Manufacturers have paid out in excess of $100 million in damages to workers suffering popcorn lung.
"Good Morning America" recently reported on Wayne Watson, whose exposure was not work-related. Watson was awarded $7 million after coming down with popcorn lung as a result of his habit of eating two to three bags a day of microwave popcorn at home.
Symptoms include dry cough, shortness of breath and wheezing, according to an OSHA "hazard communication" on the chemical, which also goes under the name butanedione. The formal name for "popcorn lung" is Bronchiolitis obliterans.
When Eric Peoples brought his lawsuit against his then-employers, a flavor-and-fragrance maker, doctors testified that he eventually would need a double-lung transplant, according to the Joplin Globe. The newspaper says it was never clear how much of the verdict money the Peoples ever received, since an unstated portion, according to attorneys, was meant to be given to other workers injured at the same plant.
The Peoples' bankruptcy petition, filed in the Western District of Missouri, Joplin, on Sept. 10, does not describe the luxuries one might associate with a $20 million windfall. It lists personal property assets of not quite $33,000. The couple also own a home valued at $700,000 on 10.5 acres. The filing claims the couple's total liabilities are in excess of $611,000.

The device also appears to be launching with Android 4.4 KitKat and the Google experience launcher in tow. Surprise, surprise.

Editorial: Motorola's strategy is to out-Nokia Nokia and it's going to work
As I spent a good portion of the week considering the impressive move Motorola made by introducing a well-specced $179 smartphone, I realized they were doing something Nokia has been talking about doing for years. Never-mind for the moment whether Nokia should have gone all-in on Android before their risky and as-of-yet market share boosting bet on Windows Phone. In fact, I see that the thoughts I had in my head already being echoed by Stefan Constantinescu at Mobile Industry Review.
Acer launches less expensive C7 Chromebook for $199
Acer today announced the launch of a new Chromebook, although those familiar with the company's current C7 Chromebook will already be familiar with the new model. Apart from a drop from 4GB of RAM to 2GB, the only difference between the old C7 Chromebook and the new Chromebook C720-2848 is the price. Dropping down from 2GB of RAM also brings the price down to $199, down from the $249 Acer charges for the old 4GB model.
Otherwise specs remain the same: an 11.6-nich 1366 x 768 display, dual-core Intel® Celeron® processor, 16GB SDD, and three USB ports. The old model is still for sale, but now Acer officially has one of the most affordable Chromebooks on the market with its new $199 option.

At least 112 people were killed in a fire that raced through a multi-story garment factory just outside of Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, an official said Sunday.
The blaze broke out late Saturday at the eight-story factory operated by Tazreen Fashions Ltd, a subsidiary of the Tuba Group, which supplies Walmart and other major retailers in the US and Europe.
By Sunday morning, firefighters had recovered 100 bodies, fire department Operations Director Maj Mohammad Mahbub told The Associated Press. He said another 12 people who had suffered injuries after jumping from the building to escape the fire later died at hospitals. The death toll could rise as the search for victims was continuing, he said.
Local media reported that up to 124 people were killed in the fire. The cause of the blaze was not immediately clear, and authorities have ordered an investigation.
Army soldiers and paramilitary border guards were deployed to help police keep the situation under control as thousands of onlookers and anxious relatives of the factory workers gathered at the scene, Mahbub said. He would not say how many people were still missing.
Tazreen was given a "high risk" safety rating after May 16, 2011, audit conducted by an ethical sourcing assessor for Wal-Mart, according to a document posted on the Tuba Group's website. It did not specify the conditions or violations that led to the rating.
A spokesman for Wal-Mart said online documents indicating that the factory received an orange or "high risk" assessment after the May 2011 inspection and a yellow or "medium risk" report after an inspection in August 2011 appeared to pertain to the factory where the fire occurred.
The August 2011 letter said Wal-Mart would conduct another inspection within one year. Spokesman Kevin Gardner said it was not clear if that inspection had been conducted, or if the factory was still making products for Wal-Mart.
If a factory is rated "orange" three times in a two-year period, Wal-Mart won't place any orders for one year. The May 2011 report was the first orange rating for the factory.
There was no indication whether the violations had been fixed since the May inspection. Neither Tazreen's owner nor Tuba Group officials could be reached for comment.
The Tuba Group is a major Bangladeshi garment exporter whose clients include Walmart, Carrefour and IKEA, according to its website. Its factories export garments to the US, Germany, France, Italy and The Netherlands, among other countries. The Tazreen factory, opened in 2009 and employing about 1700 people, makes polo shirts, fleece jackets and T-shirts.
Bangladesh has some 4000 garment factories, many without proper safety measures. The country annually earns about $20 billion from exports of garment products, mainly to the United States and Europe.
In its 2012 Global Responsibility report, Walmart said that "fire safety continues to be a key focus for brands and retailers sourcing from Bangladesh." Walmart said it ceased working with 49 factories in Bangladesh in 2011 due to fire safety issues, and was working with its supplier factories to phase out production from buildings deemed high risk.
At the factory scene, relatives of the workers were frantically looking for their loved ones. Sabina Yasmine said she saw the body of her daughter-in-law, who died in the fire, but had no trace of her son, who also worked at the factory.
"Oh, Allah, where's my soul? Where's my son?" wailed Yasmine, who works at another factory in the area. "I want the factory owner to be hanged. For him, many have died, many have gone."
Mahbub said firefighters recovered 69 bodies from the second floor of the factory alone. He said most of the victims had been trapped inside the factory, located just outside of Dhaka, with no emergency exits leading outside the building.
Many workers who had taken shelter on the roof of the factory were rescued, but firefighters were unable to save those who were trapped inside, Mahbub said.
He said the fire broke out on the ground floor, which was used as a warehouse, and spread quickly to the upper floors.
"The factory had three staircases, and all of them were down through the ground floor," Mahbub said. "So the workers could not come out when the fire engulfed the building."
"Had there been at least one emergency exit through outside the factory, the casualties would have been much lower," he said.
Many of the victims were burned beyond recognition. The recovered bodies were kept in rows on the premise of a nearby school.
Meanwhile, many of the bodies were handed over to families but at least 60 bodies remained unidentified till late Sunday, said police official Moshiuddoula, who uses one name. The unclaimed bodies were later taken to Dhaka Medical College where the corpses will be kept until Monday morning for identification.
Otherwise, the bodies will be handed over to a charity organization, Anjuman-e-Mufidul Islam, for burial, said local chief government administrator Sheikh Yusuf Harun. The charity group is a voluntary organization which buries unclaimed bodies.
By late Sunday, firefighters had concluded their search and left the scene, the fire department's control room duty officer Bhajan Sarker told The Associated Press by phone.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina expressed shock at the loss of so many lives in the blaze and asked authorities to conduct thorough search-and-rescue operations.
The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association said it would stand by the victims' families.
Separately, a flyover under construction fell onto a busy market, leaving at least 14 people dead including three construction workers in southeastern city of Chittagong, an official said Sunday.
Local fire official Abdul Mannan said the concrete structure collapsed on Saturday night, and authorities recovered the bodies by Sunday morning from under the debris in the second-largest city after Dhaka.

More than 80 children, along with their parents and grandparents, attended the Monroe Center for Healthy Aging's third annual Easter egg hunt, which was held Saturday.
The event was sponsored by Fountainview of Monroe, with prizes and treats donated by Great Lakes Caring Home Health and Medilodge of Monroe.
Activities included face painting and animal balloons provided by the American Red Cross ROCK youth group and a magic show presented by Dennis Chemielewski.
Special appearances included the Easter Bunny and Allie the pony, whose owner, Jackie Miller, is a center volunteer.
The "surprise visit," as the center staff explained, came from a squirrel that stole an egg off the ground and sat in a tree trying to crack it open.

First Security Group, Inc., parent firm of FSG Bank, announced Tuesday that it has entered into definitive stock purchase agreements with institutional investors as part of an approximate $90 million recapitalization. Four investors will lead the recapitalization, which also includes a conversion of the bank's TARP CPP preferred stock to common stock and sale of under- and non-performing loans. The lead investors will each invest approximately $9 million to acquire pro-forma ownership of approximately 9.9 percent of the total outstanding common stock, respectively. The recapitalization is priced at $1.50 per share and was unanimously approved by the company's board of directors.
"Today marks an important milestone for First Security Group and FSGBank and reflects the culmination of our efforts over the last 15 months," said Michael Kramer, president and chief executive officer of First Security. "We have rebuilt our executive management team with talented and experienced bankers, solidified our board with four new directors, three of which are former bank CEOs, and initiated the execution of our strategic plan. We appreciate the confidence and support of our lead investors. Their commitment to our recapitalization will enable us to strengthen our balance sheet and provide growth capital to complete the transformation of FSGBank into a banking franchise that our clients, communities and shareholders can be proud of.
"We are also pleased to announce that our current shareholders will have the opportunity to buy additional shares in First Security at the same price as the recapitalization through a follow-on rights offering."
The bank plans to downstream a majority of the net proceeds to FSGBank in order to support future balance sheet growth as well as fund the losses associated with the recently completed loan sale. The combined effects of the additional capital and the loan sale are expected to result in an improved risk profile, enhanced profitability and compliance with most, if not all, aspects of the regulatory orders of the company and FSGBank.
The recapitalization is subject to a number of conditions, including the lead investors receiving the necessary bank regulatory determinations. On Monday, the bank executed definitive stock purchase agreements, including subscription agreements to accredited individual investors, totaling in excess of $90 million. Under the terms of the recapitalization, First Security is permitted to conduct a $5-million follow-on rights offering after the closing of the recapitalization that would allow existing shareholders to purchase shares of common stock at the same price as the recapitalization.
Capital Structure and Tax Preservation Plan
The recapitalization is structured to preserve the bank's net operating losses under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As announced on Oct. 30, 2012, First Security enacted a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan to ensure the anticipated recapitalization was not impacted by changes in ownership between the enacting of the preservation plan and the closing of the recapitalization.
"The ability to organize the capital structure to fully preserve our net operating losses was an important component of our value proposition of the recapitalization," said John R. Haddock, executive vice president and chief financial officer of First Security. "As of Dec. 31, 2012, the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of the NOLs, exceeded $50 million. This $50 million valuation allowance can be released back into earnings and capital once profitability is restored and we achieve consistent and predictable earnings."
TARP CPP Restructuring
In connection with the recapitalization, the bank negotiated with the U.S. Treasury a restructuring of the bank's preferred stock issued under the capital purchase program. The bank will issue common stock to the Treasury for satisfaction of the par value of the preferred stock, accrued dividends and common stock warrants previously issued to the Treasury. The bank has deferred payment on the preferred stock dividends since January 2010. Treasury will contemporaneously sell the common stock to investors identified by the bank.
Loan Sale
On Dec. 10, 2012, the bank entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party to sell certain loans. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the bank identified $36.2 million of under- and non-performing loans to sell and recorded a $13.9-million loss to reduce the loan balances to the expected net proceeds. The bank completed the loan sale during February. As a result of the loan sale, the bank's non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was 2.36 percent as of Dec. 31.

This article is part of the Bookworld with Brendle series.
Martin handles the verbal conflict as carefully and insightfully as he does those of an intense melee battle between warriors. The reader can actually feel the sweat on these men's brows and the weight of their bodies as they shift nervously, each deciding for himself upon which side to fall. The themes of A Guild of Men run deeply throughout all 1423 pages of this novel. Martin forces the reader to ask himself whether there is merit in spending all of one's time worshiping a series of fables, dedicating one's self to their intricate, albeit irrelevant, mythology. Do the Tometalkers serve a great purpose, or are they turning their backs on society, contributing nothing of worth, endlessly going over the same arguments, so insulated that any outside idea is mercilessly combated?
Like his popular Song of Fire and Ice series, A Guild of Men raises interesting questions about learned knowledge versus experienced knowledge, as evidenced in a later passage during another outburst by Vitus Eirrell.
"You continue to denigrate women, to dismiss children, and you seem to enjoy quite well enough the descriptions of women and children in the texts. How do you reconcile the violence and disrespect for them with the reality of mistreating or demeaning another human being?" I shouted, banging my fists on the stone table. Gutlon raised his brows and looked Eirell square in the eyes.
"Unlike you, my opinion of women has not been sullied by firsthand experience. I preserve the sacred knowledge of the texts and do not need any other source of information upon which to make my judgments," he said, his face red with anger. "And as children go, I suggest you read up on Survival of the Fittest. It's how nature works. The strong survive, the weak perish. Where are your Gods? Laughing at you. That is, they would be, if they existed."
I was stunned, as the Elderr's retort earned the applause of the guild. How could they think this was admirable?
Many readers will find Vitus to be an unbearable villain, but Martin paints a multi-dimensional picture of his character, one that allows for some good to creep in. Martin, often called "the American Tolkien," builds his characters through their arc with a subtle mastery one might even call sublime. For instance, Elderr Gutlon's transition from stodgy, bearded Guildmaster to the Savior of the Tometalkers happens almost magically, as he wills himself to action in order to preserve the defense of the sacred books:
"There are many who will tell you the sacred texts are not sacred. That they are meaningless drivel, sold as snake oil to those unable to cope with reality, a salve for social inadequacy, a panacea for sexual isolation. They will tell you these lies and others. That all the texts are the same, that the Prophets of the Order of RR are indistinguishable and equal. That even lesser texts such as the Chronicles of the Lanced Dragon or the Legend of Durden Drizzle should be considered alongside them. Ha! These are books for children. Men read the sacred texts alone. And only those who dedicate themselves fully understand the great personal boon they bestow upon the faithful."
I'm haunted by a recurring vision of a skeleton flipping me off. To avoid seeing this terrifying image in bumper sticker form, I pay someone with a blank bumper to drive in front of me at all times.
Cons: causes bad nightmares. I used to have to eat beef until I passed out to have these kind of terrors, but this machine does it for me every time I fall asleep inside it.

OPINION: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having a child, and like a lot of expecting parents, they have gone ahead and found out the gender.
Also, like some couples do, they're keeping that information private rather than renting out the Beverly Hilton to hold a news conference. But because West and Kardashian have lived so much of their lives in public, reasoning goes, they don't deserve to keep this information private.
Or at least, that's the argument on the Huffington Post, where Liat Kornowski declares of the decision that, "We think that's fishy." Her logic?
After all, [Kardashian] started out by having a sex tape make the rounds early on in her career. The tape shows her and ex-boyfriend Ray J. doing the deed and might have even been leaked by Kim herself, as suggested by another one of her exes, Nick Cannon. She also showcased her famous buttocks to the world via X-ray to prove she doesn't have implants.
I missed the part of Kardashian's history where she signed a waiver that guaranteed the American public access to every detail of every event in her life, in perpetuity. Increasingly, it seems like women who live in the public eye are given a choice: If you reveal nothing except the basic facts of your life, as has been the case with Kate Middleton's engagement and pregnancy, then you're allowed to demand privacy on the minor details. (And when you don't get it, like with those recent Middleton bikini pictures shot with extremely long lenses, there's public outrage.)
But reveal some things, or a lot of things, particularly if they're sexual, and even more so if they've benefited your career, and you're doomed to be a consumer product until the end of time.
But each of Kardashian's revelations about her life is a discrete event, and she has the right to keep making decisions about how much of herself she wants to reveal on a case-by-case basis.
And in this case, her decision, one would hope, involves the wishes and preferences of someone else—West, who is the father of her child.
Having told all, or even some, once doesn't mean Kardashian is obligated to tell again.
I have a feeling we'll still get our exclusive People cover, and the inevitable Kimye bedazzled onesie line, but it's really not up to us when.

Time has a funny way of working against the NBA big man. Kevin Garnett is learning that lesson the hard way.
Garnett is on the clock, and the persistent ticking that serves as the backdrop for his NBA career is fading to a whisper. Eleven games remain this regular season for Garnett to rest an ankle that is causing to him to play some of the worst basketball of his career. Garnett's ever-ticking clock is quickly leading to his 37th birthday in May. The pain in his ankle also serves as a reminder that, despite any minutes restriction Doc Rivers might place on him, the C's starting center is defying a nearly infallible timeline for NBA big men each time he takes the floor.
Garnett has played in 1,320 regular-season NBA games and another 125 playoff games. He currently ranks 10th on the NBA's all-time rebounding list with 13,820. Of the top 30 all-time rebounders in NBA history, only five -- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Karl Malone, Robert Parrish and Kevin Willis -- played more regular-season games than Garnett. Each of those big men played beyond the age of 40, with Willis playing until he was 44, Parish 43, Abdul-Jabbar 42 and both Karl Malone and Moses Malone 40.
According to Garnett's comments during NBA All-Star weekend, he has no intention of following in the footsteps of those players.
"When I'm 40 I want to be in the YMCA somewhere, busting a guy like you up, talking trash to you, killing your ego," Garnett said. "Shooting the hook shot left and right, something I never do, and enjoying it.
Perhaps Moses Malone serves as the most apt comparison to Garnett in that both players entered the NBA directly out of high school, bypassing multiple years of 30- to 35-game seasons in college to play the NBA's 82-game schedule. Malone's career ended after 1,329 games, nine more than Garnett has played as of today. When taking postseason games into account, Garnett actually has outdistanced Malone, with 125 playoff games to Malone's 94.
One other similarity between Malone, who ranks fifth on the all-time rebounding list, and Garnett, is the decline both players saw after the age of 31. At 31, Malone averaged 24.1 points and 11.3 rebounds. By 36, he averaged 15.6 points and 9.1 rebounds. After 36, Malone's scoring average fluctuated between 5.3 and 2.9 points, and his rebounds declined by season from 4.2 to 4.1 to 2.7.
Garnett also is in the midst of a decline. At the age of 31 in 2007-08, he averaged 18.8 points and 9.2 rebounds while shooting 53.9 percent from the field and leading the Celtics to a championship. This season is Garnett's worst as a pro with the exception of 2009-10 when he returned from a season-ending knee injury suffered in 2009. Taking that 2009-10 season out of the equation, Garnett is posting his lowest averages in points and rebounds since his rookie season. Last season, when Garnett's Celtics started slow, he elevated his game after the All-Star break, taking his scoring average from 14.4 to 17.0. This season, Garnett averaged 15.1 points before the break and 13.8 after. His field-goal percentage has dropped from .503 before the break to .448 after.
In terms of advanced stats, this season is stacking up as the worst of Garnett's career with the exception of 2009-10. Per 40 minutes, he is averaging 10.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and a career-low true shooting percentage of 53.1.
Best-case scenario: Garnett's recent dip is the result of his attempt to play through an ankle injury that will require at least two weeks of rest. The injury certainly would explain Garnett's subpar play of late. In his last five games before being shut down, he averaged 12.6 points and 7.6 rebounds while shooting 41.3 percent from the field.
Even when considering Garnett's injury as it relates to the decline in his production, it is fair to wonder if this is this is his final season in the NBA, especially when considering his comments regarding his retirement at the All-Star break.
"As long as I'm going to play this game, I'm going to have a certain level that I'm going to demand of myself," Garnett said. "And if I can't get to that level, then I'm going to have a problem. And it's going to eat me up, and internally it's going to mess with me. And I don't go at things 20 percent or 30, it's either zero or 100 percent.
"I don't want to be in a situation where I look depleted. Hell, I look depleted some nights, and it's like, 'What are you doing out here?' However y'all see me, that's how you see me; but how I see myself, is in another realm. I expect a lot out of myself."
The history of NBA big men suggests Garnett's career is on its last legs. Garnett passed the 1,300 games mark just before the All-Star break, a feat few other historic big men have accomplished. The NBA all-time rebounding list is littered with players whose careers came to an end well before the 1,300 games mark -- players like Wilt Chamberlain (1,045 games), Bill Russell (963), Hakeem Olajuwon (1,238), Shaquille O'Neal (1,207), Charles Barkley (1,073), Dikembe Mutombo (1,196), Patrick Ewing (1,183), and David Robinson (987).
On an NBA court, the paint is the most unforgiving stretch of hardwood. Careers are short for players who rise to the top of the game by outhustling and outmuscling opponents night in and night out. If NBA history is any indication, Garnett is on borrowed time.

Crash driver nabbed for attacking helpers
"Arrested for assaulting police."
Relevant offers
A suspected drunk driver who spun off a section of Mawhitiwhiti Rd, near Normanby, rewarded his rescuers by lashing out at them yesterday.
Detective Guy Jackson said the "drunk and abusive driver" attacked him and a number of police officers after he threatened people who came to his assistance.
"He's been arrested for threatening behaviour and assaulting police."
More charges would follow, he said.
"It took three of us to get him into a police car."
Mr Jackson said it appeared excessive speed coupled with alcohol led to the crash, at about 5.20pm, and the driver had over-corrected after a bend. The car came to rest in a empty field.

Liberman labels Turkey apology 'serious mistake'

Leaders across the political spectrum on Friday reacted to the dramatic turning-point in Turkey-Israel relations after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu apologized for the killing of nine Turkish citizens in a 2010 naval raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla.Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Avigdor Liberman, called Israel's apology to Turkey a "serious mistake."Liberman added that an apology of this sort diminishes the motivation of IDF soldiers and encourages extremist acts in the region, and that the current Turkish leadership is solely responsible for the diminished relations between the two countries.In a telephone call with his Turkish counterpart earlier on Friday, Netanyahu apologized for the killings and said Israel would pay compensation to the families of victims aboard the flotilla.Other Israeli politicians reacted positively to the news, with Justice Minister Tzipi Livni welcoming the reconciliation between Israel and Turkey."This is a very important step, and the right one, as I told Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu," Livni wrote on her Facebook."In these times, especially looking at what is happening in Syria, there are mutual security interests between Israel, Turkey and the United States," Livni stated, adding that it was an excellent final note on which to end Obama's visit.Similarly, opposition leader Shelly Yacimovich praised Netanyahu's apology, saying it is "best to swallow one's pride and do what is beneficial for the state.""Hopefully reconciliation with the Turks after three years is the first step towards a new policy of strengthening Israel's diplomatic and strategic standing," Yacimovich said in a statement.Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon joined the chorus of praise of Netanyahu's apology, calling the prime minister's decision "responsible," and assuring that it does not compromise the stance Israel maintained on the topic in the past three years.

How economies work – and don't
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
the policy that the earth's natural patterns suggests. Use the eco-system's self-regulating feedback loops as a model. What then needs changing? Basically, the flow of money spent to own or use Earth (both sites and resources) must visit each of us. Our agent, government, exists to collect this natural rent via fees and to disburse the collected revenue via dividends. Doing this, we could forgo taxes on homes and earnings and subsidies of either the needy or the greedy. For more, see our web site, our pamphlet of the title above, or any of our other lit pieces; ask for our literature list.
in part the Great Green Tax Shift maxed out. Economically, taxing pollution and depletion does reduce pollutants and extracts – and thus the tax base; plus such taxes are regressive, requiring a safety net. On the other hand, collecting site rent is progressive and generates a revenue surplus payable as a dividend to residents, which can serve as the safety net. Environmentally, taxes on waste and extraction do not drive efficient use of land, as does getting site rent.
a new field of study offered in place of economics, as astronomy replaced astrology and chemistry replaced alchemy. Conventional economics, in which GNP can do well while people suffer, is a bit too superstitious for my renaissance upbringing. If I'm to propitiate unseen forces, it won't be inflation or "the market"; let it be theEgyptian cat goddess. At least then we'd have fewer rats. Meanwhile, believing in reason leads to a new policy, also christened geonomics. That's the proposal to share (a kind of management, the "nomics" part) the worth of Mother Earth (the "geo" part). If our economies are to work right, people need to see prices that tell the truth. Now taxes and subsidies distort prices, tricking people into squandering the planet. Using land dues and rent dividends instead lets prices be precise, guiding people to get more from less and thereby shrink their workweek. More free time ought to make us happy enough to evolve beyond economics, except when nostalgic for superstition.
an economic policy based on the earth's natural patterns. Eco-systems self-regulate by using feedback loops to keep balance. Can economies do likewise? Why don't they now produce efficiently and distribute fairly? The answers lie in the money we spend on the earth we use. To attain people/planet harmony, that financial flow from sites and resources must visit each of us. Our agent, government, must collect this natural rent via fees and disburse the collected revenue via dividends. And, it must forgo taxes on homes and earnings, and quit subsidies of either the needy or the greedy. As our steward, government must also collect Ecology Security Deposits, require Restoration Insurance, and auction off the occasional Emissions Permit. And that's about it – were nature our model.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old log-gers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.
an answer for Jonathan of the Green Party (Nov 7): "What does 'share our surplus' mean?" Our surplus is the values that society generates synergistically. It's the money we spend on the nature we use: on land sites, natural resources, EM spectrum, ecosystem services (assimilating pollutants). It's also the money we pay to holders of government-granted privileges like corporate charters. We could share it by paying for the nature we use and privileges we hold to the public treasury then getting back a fair share of the recovered revenue. Used to be, owners did owe rent ("own" and "owe" used to be one word). And presently, some lucky residents do get back periodic dividends: Alaska's oil dividend and Aspen Colorado's housing assistance. Doing that, instead of subsidizing bads while taxing goods, is the essence of geonomics. Jonathan: "Is local currency what you mean?" Editor: It's not. Community currency is a good reform, but every good reform pushes up site values. That makes land an even more tempting object of speculation. Now, any good will eventually do bad by widening the income gap – until you share land values.
as unfamiliar as geo-economics. The latter is a course some universities offer that combines geography and economics. A UN newsletter, Go Between (57, Apr/May '96; thanks, Pat Aller), cited an Asian conference on geopolitics and "geoeconomics". The abbreviated term 'geonomics" is the name of an institute on Middlebury College campus and of a show on CNBC. Both entities use the neologism to mean "global economics", in particular world trade. We use geonomics entirely differently, to refer to the money people spend on the nature they use, how letting this flow collect in a few pockets creates class and poverty and assaults upon the environment, and how, on the other hand, sharing this rental flow creates equality, prosperity, and a people/planet harmony. This flow of natural rent, several trillions dollars in the US each year, shapes society and belongs to society.
the Great Green Tax Shift maxed out" Economically, taxing pollution and depletion does reduce pollutants and extracts – and thus the tax base; plus such taxes are regressive, requiring a safety net. On the other hand, collecting site rent is progressive and generates a revenue surplus payable as a dividend to residents, which can serve as the safety net. Environmentally, taxes on waste and extraction do not drive efficient use of land, as does getting site rent. Better settlement patterns do reduce extraction upstream and pollution downstream. Politically, green fees have less impact if applied locally; local is where grassroots movements have more impact. Yet getting rent usually entails shifting the property tax (or charging user fees), the province of local jurisdictions; both mayors and city voters have been known to adopt a site-value tax. Ethically, putting into practice "tax bads, not goods" skirts the issue of sharing Mother Earth which collecting rent confronts head on. Since nothing is fixed until it's fixed right, ultimately, greens must lead humanity into geotopia where we all share the worth of Mother Earth.
a POV that Spain's president might try. A few blocks from my room in Madrid at a book fair to promote literacy, Sr Zapatero, while giving autographs and high fives to kids, said books are very expensive and he'd see about getting the value added tax on them cut down to zero. (El Pais, June 4; see, politicians can grasp geo-logic.) But why do we raise the cost of any useful product? Why not tax useless products? Even more basic: is being better than a costly tax good enough? Our favorite replacement for any tax is no tax: instead, run government like a business and charge full market value for the permits it issues, such as everything from corporate charters to emission allowances to resource leases. These pieces of paper are immensely valuable, yet now our steward, the state, gives them away for nearly free, absolutely free in some cases. Government is sitting on its own assets and needs merely to cash in by doing what any rational entity in the economy does – negotiate the best deal. Then with this profit, rather than fund more waste, pay the stakeholders, we citizenry, a dividend. Thereby geonomics gets rid of two huge problems. It replaces taxes with full-value fees and replaces subsidies for special interests with a Citizens Dividend for people in general. Neither left nor right, this reform is what both nature lovers and liberty lovers need to promote, right now.

N.W.O Tactics from someone who's experienced them firsthand

Post Content
While we're on the topic of frustration and movies, there are several movies I physically cannot watch. Not because I can't access them, but because I'd have a heart attack in rage if I tried.
Top of my list: The Day the Earth Stood Still.
I saw the trailer on TV and started pacing in a foaming at the mouth rage about how much Klatuu and everyone else who sanctioned actions like that needed a taste of their own genocidal medicine so they could know what it feels like. I managed to read the synopsis on wikipedia and even that was almost too much.
One of the reasons I do what I do is because I love finding the people who genuinely do not care about others and use them as toys or mass murder out of self righteousness like Klatuu and making them suffer the exact same way. I think I would present as a sociopath if I were ever tested to be honest. But its specifically the really fucking horrible people that I care about. And that's why I hunt them, or would if I didn't do this whole incarnation thing.
I've been a victim of people like that, and so I developed this mentality that you should never do things you don't want done to you. Its also the reason I have an underlying prejudice against celestials and other immortals because the suffering was usually at their hands. And if you do do it with full knowledge of what you're doing ten you've just given me a warrant to do it to you as well because clearly its something you want done to yourself. That's kinda how I say it to myself anyways.
Its why I don't lash out in anger at the NWO, I know there's a few who really don't give a fuck, but the vast majority do it because they're forced to or because they genuinely and legitimately don't realize the damage its doing because they might be getting lied to about their own job, etc. The only people who are the enemy are the ones who genuinely know what it is they're doing and don't care.
Its also because of these peoples superiority complex that I've pushed myself so hard and so far throughout all this time. And if there's one piece of media that I can resonate with more than anything else its this:
