A mother and father in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir killed their 15-year-old daughter by dousing her with acid after seeing her talking to a young man, police said Thursday.
Local police officer Tahir Ayub said the father, Mohammad Zafar, had had suspicions about his daughter Anvu Sha and became enraged when he saw her with a boy outside their home on Monday.
"Zafar beat her up and then poured acid over her with the help of his wife. She was badly burnt but they did not take her to hospital until the next morning, and she died on Wednesday," Ayub said.
Doctor Mohammad Jahangir of the state run Kotli hospital confirmed the death, saying the girl was brought to hospital in a "very critical condition" with almost 70% burns.
Anvu Sha's married elder sister alerted police and demanded they investigate the incident in Khoi Ratta district, 140 kilometres (87 miles) north of the state capital Muzaffarabad.
"The parents have confessed, saying that they suspected the girl had illicit relations with a boy," Ayub said. "We have registered a murder case against the girl's father and mother."

PIONEERS OF TELEVISION: Late Night
Airs Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 8 p.m. on KPBS TV
Friday, February 11, 2011
They were the stars of the small screen in the early years of television, and much of the nation came to a halt whenever their shows aired. They strolled, sprinted, fought, laughed, cried and loved through worlds that took viewers to places past, present and future. As the originators of these innovative television formats, they provided an essential escape for millions of viewers who eagerly waited to watch them each week.
The stories of Steve Allen, Jack Paar and Johnny Carson headline this episode about the formative years of late-night television.
Merv Griffin also emerges as a key player on the late-night scene. His interview for "Pioneers Of Television" was his last before passing away. Regis Philbin offers revelations about his years as a late-night sidekick (to Joey Bishop). Dick Cavett and Arsenio Hall also discuss their years in the mix, and Sigourney Weaver offers personal details about her father, Pat - the inventor of "Tonight."
The episode is peppered with dozens of never-before-seen clips, including Johnny Carson performing in his early 20s.

Bringing the digital revolution to teaching
Original paper headline: High-tech `learning plazas' turn teaching on to digital revolution Big changes have been afoot in Torfaen schools over recent months, with rumours of strange new equipment being bundled in and classrooms cleared out over the weekend. Now the local authority has revealed an ambitious vision to put itself at the heart of a digital revolution in education. Torfaen opened its first "learning plaza" at Abersychan Comprehensive last month to kick off a major project, supported by pound;750,000 worth of funding from the Heads of The Valleys, an Assembly government regeneration project. Speaking at the launch of the new digital strategy, Mark Provis, Torfaen's chief education officer, said Abersychan had been transformed. "The school used to be covered in dust as the students here were taught about mining," he said. "Now it is again leading in a different technological revolution - a digital one." The school's new plaza is a network of large, open-plan rooms filled with cutting-edge technology such as wall-mounted flat screens, touch-screen tabletop computers and video-conferencing facilities. Live news is constantly being streamed on one wall while broadcasts from the school's television studio are shown on another. The school has invested in a bank of laptops and the whole building is connected by Wi- Fi. The space is being used to teach up to 60 pupils and train teachers, support staff and governors from across Torfaen in the technology. Mike Conway, head of Abersychan, said pupils had fully embraced the changes even though they had happened very quickly. "An old building full of conventional classrooms was gutted in a weekend," he said. "We have now been training all our staff who come from totally different starting points - most are ICT literate but this blew them away. "The motivational factor in lessons is going to be great. A data centre is being built in (nearby) Blaenavon and some pupils will hopefully be working there. This technology will develop their ICT and key skills and make them more employable." There are even plans for pupils to work on games consoles and mobile phones. Farooq Dastgir, Torfaen's lead transformation officer, said teachers were still working out how to manage the technology in the classroom. "We are teaching at the boundaries of education, and we are actively working with pupils and teachers to see how this works and how we can make it safer for them," he said. "For example, kids interact with their Nintendo Wiis all the time, so why can't you put homework on a Game Boy? Children talk and text their friends on their phones - some see it as a good thing and some bad." The school is also developing a system for producing teachers' resources as professional-looking documents so they can be distributed online for use further afield. And while Abersychan will act as a training hub for teachers, every school in Torfaen has benefited from technological investment. One-fifth of schools now have Wi-Fi but the plan is to connect every school within the next few years. Two other learning plazas have been built at Blenheim Road Primary and Penygarn Primary, while every pupil at Victoria Primary has been given a laptop to use in lessons. Padre Pio in Pontypool, a brand new primary, was billed as a "state-of- the-art" school when it opened last year. The Roman Catholic diocese, Assembly government and Torfaen Council spent pound;3.5 million on the building, making it completely wireless, installing a video-conferencing suite and putting interactive whiteboards in every classroom. Three schools, including Garnteg Primary and Pontnewynydd Primary, have even built fully functional TV studios for pupils to use. Deb Woodward, head of Pontnewynydd Primary, said the studio would benefit children's language, literacy and thinking skills. "Our pupils are producing work of a professional standard at a much earlier age, raising their aspirations," she said. "Our Year 5 and 6 pupils are even teaching younger ones." All staff have been trained to use the equipment and the school plans to give parents an opportunity to try it out after school hours. "We have been very lucky that our staff are fighting to use it," Ms Woodward said. "Hopefully, those who have more of a feel for it will be able to share it with others and it will become sustainable." Mr Provis said that it was essential that teachers were confident with the new technology. "When we first introduced this to Abersychan, some teachers were positively scared of it," he said. "They thought we were going to replace teachers with machines. But the aim is to work alongside traditional classrooms and teaching. Young people are fully digitally engaged and it's up to us to catch up with where they are. But it's got to be driven by teachers." Two networking communities have been set up to harness teachers' enthusiasm for the changes, and one group is already developing a genealogy project to enable primary pupils to research their ancestors. The authority is also working with the University of Wales, Newport, to study how teachers use the new technology and working to develop teacher training modules. Professor David Hawker, director general of the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills, also speaking at the project launch, described the role of the plaza in continuing professional development as "inspirational". "I don't think digital learning has been as well thought out anywhere as it is here," he said. "It is a strategy that I would like to see replicated across Wales and I think it's a model for us at the Assembly government." Torfaen's written strategy looks at developing IT in schools over the next five years but accepts that technology changes at a rapid pace. "Our strategy will need to be continually revised to accommodate this," the document says.

Time to move Maybin up to Lakeland or Erie. He has proven he can kick ass at West Michigan, so what's the point of keeping him there?
He's 19. They're giving him time to adjust to being a professional and get familiar with his surroundings. Plus they said WM is a playoff calibre team so they want him to get the playoff experience and camaraderie. He'll play through Lakeland and Erie next year, there's no rason to rush a 19 y/o with holes in his swing still.

Reviews for Company Lasagna
"I have made this recipe twice for company and both times it was a hit. I cooked sweet Italian sausage with one chopped onion, which really made it extra tasty. I also cut up the stewed tomatoes to avoid such big chunks. Definitely a keeper!"
"Pretty basic recipe. I thought 2 tablespoons of oregano seemed like quite a lot and cut it to 1 tablespoon. Oregano was still overwhelming. Next time I will cut it to 1-2 tsp. Maybe my family just aren't oregano lovers, but it would have been inedible with the full 2 tablespoons. I am assuming it is a typo and should be tsp."
"This is almost the exact recipe that I use except instead of cottage cheese I use ricotta and I use crushed tomatoes in place of the stewed ones. Everyone asks me for my recipe and I take it to all covered dish dinners, super bowl parties, etc. Always come home with an empty dish."
"This was easy to make and a very large meal! I am going to be eating it for a few days. Next time I would probably cut the stewed tomatoes into smaller pieces, but that is because my husband isn't a big fan of big pieces of tomato."

Notes & Reviews:
As a follow-up to his acclaimed recording of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, James Ehnes once again collaborates with Vladimir Ashkenazy and the Sydney Symphony for an all-Tchaikovsky program, recorded live in Sydney. The disc contains the composer's complete works for violin and orchestra, from the beloved Violin Concerto to the less frequently heard Valse-Scherzo. It also includes a delightful bonus - the Souvenir d'un lieu cher with Ashkenazy at the piano. This is a must-have disc for all lovers of violin music. Ehnes is a major talent who is finally getting his well-deserved time in the spotlight.
"My eyes lit up when I saw that Canadian violinist James Ehnes has just released a concert recording of the Tchaikovsky concerto made in Sydney, especially with a Tchaikovskian of the calibre of Vladimir Ashkenazy...I love the way Ashkenazy controls the tempo of the opening, even when the chugging cellos and basses propel us towards the soloist's first entry, and from that point on, basically, you know they're going to have all the time in the world to explore Tchaikovsky's poetic side without having to hurl themselves headlong at the pyrotechnics. Ehnes brings a lovely conversational quality to his dialogue with the orchestra. He's balanced realistically against them, and it allows you to appreciate the sometimes rugged charm of the orchestral writing as Ehnes soars eloquently overhead. The second movement canzonetta has a velvety, muted passion and the finale's explosive opening is impressively urgent, and when Ehnes launches into his solo he leaves room to breathe. It's so expressive, and not just a hyperventilating rush for the line. Fine work, not least from the recording team, and Tchaikovsky's 'Sérénade Mélancolique', his 'Valse-scherzo' and lastly the three-movement 'Souvenir', with Ashkenazy the pianist, makes this a Tchaikovskian's delight." -BBC Radio 3
"Even in the bravura passages, James Ehnes' bowing seems calm and effortless. Elegent and technically adept, Ehnes is never tempted into over-emotional flourishes: each phrase is precisely measured. It's not a cold performance - it is, after all, Tchaikovsky. But Ehnes never lets that act as an excuse for overplaying, as demonstrated by the solo passage 10 minutes into the first movement, a knife edge dance of subtle and illuminating dexterity." -The Independent
The Telegraph
Ehnes is not a violinist to use bravura as an end in itself...His dexterity is a marvel of lightness and precision in the finale, but it is consistently aimed towards a musical goal, the range of tone beautifully judged and, as in the first movement, the structure and direction kept in clear view. This is a consummate performance...All in all, the disc makes a fine start to 2012.
Sunday Times
Ehnes's virtuosity impresses on account of its virtue. He makes a ravishing sound and meets every technical challenge thrown at him with utterly reliable intonation, tonal consistency and beautifully controlled articulation. What distinguishes him, however, is an almost self-effacing intelligence.
Gramophone Magazine
The sound of Ehnes's violin is especially full and expressive; it's not the kind of tone Tchaikovsky would have recognised but it sound gorgeous and allows him to rise to the concerto's lyrical high spots with considerable intensity. Even his muted tone in the Canzonetta is exceptionally warm and resonant. He clearly enjoys demonstrating his ability as a virtuoso, making this one of the most exciting accounts of the finale I can remember.
International Record Review
Ehnes and Ashkenazy deliver a particularly beautiful account of the slow movement...Ehnes demonstrates his characteristically phenomenal technical assurance while bringing out all the fire in the music too...their disc can be recommended warmly not only for the excellent if occasionally strait-laced Concerto but - above all - for the other pieces, which have seldom been recorded with such poise and poetry.
Musical Opinion, 12th June 2012
I found this disc a marvellous experience, both technically and musically, and it has already qualified as one of my discs of the year...The key word that characterises his playing is grace. Right from the off, his playing glows with such beauty that the violin seems to have a singing quality that suits this music right to the core...This is the finest reading of the concerto that I have come across in a very long time, and I urge lovers of the work to hear it.

A survey found that 89% of women would like to be described as "confident" and "gutsy" but don't particularly care to be called a "lady," but, according to some dude from Esquire all it takes for us to make the jump to "lady" is class. So you can be an assertive, confident woman, just remember your manners, make sure you always look cute, and bat your eye lashes while you're at it.Reply26 repliesLeave a reply

With new-home sales in Las Vegas at their lowest level on record, custom builder Chris Stuhmer had to alter his business plan to maintain cash flow and keep workers employed.
The president of Las Vegas-based Christopher Homes launched a 30-day makeover program to renovate and remodel existing homes, a rising trend among millions of homeowners who are stuck with negative equity in their properties.
There are some 200,000 or more underwater homeowners in Las Vegas. They can't sell, refinance or relocate, so they're breathing new life into their homes by changing design, adding space, catching up on needed repairs and upgrading amenities.
"We're definitely seeing that activity in Vegas," said Stuhmer, who has built more than 1,800 homes around the valley in 30 years. "We're ground zero of the real estate collapse. People are staying in their homes because they feel they're undervalued, and they are. If they're going to be in a home for five, six years or longer, they elect to upgrade and update with new styles and new designs. They will see a return when they sell it."
Also, existing-home sales increased 15 percent in Las Vegas last year to 58,000, many of them foreclosures and short sales purchased by investors who rehabilitate the homes for rental or resale.
That's driving construction employment and spending on home improvements.
The number of people working in residential remodeling grew 5.8 percent in December to 250,700 from a year earlier, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show. It was the highest growth since December 2006.
The BuildFax residential remodeling index rose to 127.4 in December, up 22.8 percent from the same month in the previous year. The index, which is based on construction permits filed with local building departments, was down 10.5 points from 137.9 in November.
"Remodeling activity slowed from November to December, an expected change seen in previous years around the holidays," said Joe Emison, vice president of Austin, Texas-based BuildFax.
Areas that had month-over-month losses in December were the West (down 7.7 points), Midwest (down 16.5 points), Northeast (down 1 point) and South (down 5.4 points).
Home improvement will bounce back the most this year since 2006, said Kermit Baker, senior fellow at Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies. He projected $112.4 billion in total spending for 2012, mild growth in the low- to mid-single digits from a year ago.
Another sign of increasing construction activity is the Architecture Billings Index, which reached positive territory for the third month in a row at 50.9 in January. Any score higher than 50 signals an increase in billings for design services.
The upturn is encouraging because it's being reflected across most regions of the country and across major construction sectors, said Baker, who is also chief economist for the American Institute of Architects.
"Because we still continue to hear about struggling firms and some continued uncertainty in the market, we expect that overall economic improvements in the design and construction sector to be modest in the coming months," he said.
There may be some slowing before remodeling activity picks up. A couple of Las Vegas custom home contractors who asked not to be identified said they'll take anything to survive.
"It's not like it was before 2008," one said.
Stuhmer of Christopher Homes said most of his remodeling work is in the kitchen and bathroom, and adding a master bedroom suite or specialty rooms such as a home theater or home office. The jobs range from $15,000 to over $1 million, with an average of more than $100,000.
"We've been doing them as requested," Stuhmer said. "When real estate started declining in 2008 and 2009, we put a stronger emphasis on remodels. We were pleasantly surprised with the growth. It's been picking up dramatically and we're looking forward to 2012. We don't expect it to take off, but gradually build and improve."
Home improvement retailers are starting to see a bump in sales. Atlanta-based Home Depot last week reported sales of $16.0 billion for the fourth quarter, a 5.9 percent increase from fourth quarter of 2010. Comparable store sales for the quarter, or sales at stores open at least a year, were up 5.7 percent.

Driving Thru Justice
(I work at a fairly popular fast-food restaurant. Our location is right next to three different college campuses, so our main customers are a lot of students and teachers in-between classes. This, of course, means our fast service is super-essential, especially in the middle of a rush-hour lunch period.)
Me: "Thank you for choosing [Fast Food]! How does a [Burger] sound today?"
Customer: "What sounds good is a moment to order. Just wait a second."
Me: "Okie-dokie, just holla as soon as you're ready to—"
Customer: "Will you shut the f*** up and let me f****** decide?!"
Me: *shocked* "Um, okay. I—"
Customer: "Um, um, um! BE QUIET. I AM TRYING TO ORDER!"
(I stay quiet for four minutes, until she speaks again.)
Customer: "Are you even f****** there?"
Me: "Yeppers, and I'm ready to take your order whenever you are."
Customer: "Don't you f****** take that tone with me! I'll have a large number six with a [Soda], no ice."
Me: "Excellent, I've got a—"
Customer: "What's my total?"
Me: "I'll ring it up."
(The customer drives up before I am done punching it in, and parks at the first window. There is no one there, since that employee is on her break, and all of the service is left to me. Eventually, the customer seems to get the message, and I wave her up to the final window.)
Customer: "Why isn't there anyone f****** there to take my money?"
Me: "I'm sorry, ma'am. He's on break. It's just me right now." *I hand her her drink* "Your total came to $6.55."
Customer: "WHAT? That's too much. I don't have that!" *waves her credit card*
Me: "I'm sorry. I was trying to tell you the total at the speaker—"
Customer: "This [Soda] tastes like s***. I want a free one."
Me: "I'll just pour you another one—"
Customer: "I want to talk to your manager."
(I get my manager, who had heard the better part of our exchange over the headsets.)
Manager: "How can I help you, ma'am?"
Customer: "I swear I never do this, but I have been waiting forever to get my food, your worker is a f****** b**** and totally incompetent, and this isn't the drink I ordered. And if I don't get a free [Competitor's Burger] and some pies or something, then I swear I'm never coming back and I will tell my kids and all of my grandkids and everyone I know to never come back to this restaurant ever again!"
Manager: "That's really too bad. If you want a free [Competitor's Burger], you'll have to get your a** down three blocks and b**** at the [Competitor]'s people instead. And you'll have to, now that I'm officially banning you. Get the f*** out of my drive-thru."
(At this, my manager slammed the window shut and told me to go ahead and eat the meal that the rude customer had left behind.)

I doubt I'm the only one that has realized this, but the Detroit Pistons in 2004 and 2005 (the NBA Finals years) were the #2 seed in the East to the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat respectively. In the past 2 years (2006/2007) the Detroit Pistons have been the #1 seed in the East. I think this might have played into the success of 2004 and 2005 and the failures of 2006 and 2007. Remember the Pistons were built on everyone counting them out and being the underdog. That's what they were when they were the #2 seed. They were the underdogs to the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat. The past 2 years they've been the #1 seed and have not been able to play as well being the FAVORITES to win it all. So no matter what happens this offseason, I think the Detroit Pistons should strive to be the #2 seed in the East, even if they have to throw games towards the end of the season. Also, I just read this article on ESPN NBA.com Pistons May Be Forced to Make Changes and if Flip Saunders is fired maybe Joe Dumars should hire the New Jersey Nets coach. He's one of the youngest coaches in the NBA and his youth and passion might run off on the players. Plus, he just said the nicest things about the Pistons organization and really respects it.
I don't want to be associated with ANY team that is scared to be the best. The #1 seed is where any team should want to be. The real question is if you're #1 because you're good, or somebody else was bad, or hurt. A true #1 is ready to take on all comers regardless of style or matchups. However, as bad as things ended, just think... We could have been the Dallas Mavericks.

Halobetasol cream
Generic Name: halobetasol (HAL-oh-BAY-ta-sol)
Brand Name: Ultravate
Halobetasol cream is used for:
Treating inflammation and itching caused by certain skin conditions. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Halobetasol cream is a topical corticosteroid. It works by reducing skin inflammation (redness, swelling, itching, and irritation).
Do NOT use halobetasol cream if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in halobetasol cream
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using halobetasol cream:
Some medical conditions may interact with halobetasol cream. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have rosacea, any kind of skin infection, cuts, scrapes, or lessened blood flow to your skin
- if you have had a recent vaccination; you have measles, tuberculosis (TB), chickenpox, or shingles; or you have had a positive TB test
- if you are taking prednisone or similar medicines
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with halobetasol cream. However, no specific interactions with halobetasol cream are known at this time.
Ask your health care provider if halobetasol cream may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use halobetasol cream:
Use halobetasol cream as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Apply a small amount of medicine to the affected area. Gently rub it in until it is evenly distributed.
- Wash your hands after you apply halobetasol cream, unless your hands are part of the treated area.
- Do not bandage or cover the treated skin area unless directed by your doctor.
- If you miss a dose of halobetasol cream, apply it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use halobetasol cream.
Important safety information:
- Halobetasol cream is for external use only. Do not get halobetasol cream in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you get it in any of these areas, rinse right away with cool water.
- Do not use halobetasol cream on the face, in the groin area, or under the armpits.
- Do NOT use more than the recommended dose or use for longer than 2 weeks without checking with you doctor.
- If your symptoms do not get better within 2 weeks or if they get worse, check with your doctor.
- Check with your doctor before you receive any vaccine while you are using halobetasol cream.
- Do not use halobetasol cream for other skin conditions at a later time.
- Do not use other medicines or products on your skin without first checking with your doctor.
- Overuse of topical products may worsen your condition.
- Halobetasol cream is a corticosteroid. Before you start any new prescription or nonprescription medicine, check the label to see if it has a corticosteroid in it too. If it does or if you are not sure, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take halobetasol cream before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Serious side effects may occur if too much of halobetasol cream is absorbed through the skin. This may be more likely to occur if you use halobetasol cream over a large area of the body. It may also be more likely if you wrap or bandage the area after you apply halobetasol cream. The risk is greater in children. Do not use more than the prescribed dose. Contact your doctor right away if you develop unusual weight gain (especially in the face), muscle weakness, increased thirst or urination, confusion, unusual drowsiness, severe or persistent headache, or vision changes. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- Corticosteroids may affect growth rate in CHILDREN and teenagers in some cases. They may need regular growth checks while they use halobetasol cream.
- Halobetasol cream should not be used in CHILDREN younger than 12 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using halobetasol cream while you are pregnant. It is not known if this medicine is found in breast milk after topical use. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use halobetasol cream, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
Possible side effects of halobetasol cream:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:Dryness; mild stinging, burning, or itching.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); acne-like rash; burning, cracking, irritation, or peeling not present before you began using halobetasol cream; excessive hair growth; inflamed hair follicles; inflammation around the mouth; muscle weakness; symptoms of high blood sugar (eg, flushing, confusion, drowsiness, increased thirst, increased urination); thinning, softening, or discoloration of the skin; unusual weight gain, especially in the face.

If anyone listens to 'We Came As Romans', then they'll recognize this guy from the album To Plant A Seed. I drew this for a friend that loves the band and I just did my own version of it. :) I really love this picture to be honest.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Water colours or pecil crayon I'm guessing. :p This one really caught my attention. I love the randomness and how I don't even know what's going on there. The brightness in the upper right corner is good too.
This is ink and color pencils. :) thanks for your opinion :) i appreciate it.

Bellator 108: "Rampage" Floors Beltran, Minakov Takes Heavyweight Belt From Volkov
By FCF Staff
"Rampage" Jackson has been saying he's "back" heading into his Bellator debut, and at the promotion's latest event tonight in Atlantic City, he ended a three fight losing streaky by stopping fellow vet Joey Beltran.
After several minutes were the two largely battled along the cage fence, Jackson swarmed Beltran as the opening round neared it's end, and dropped the fighter with a left-right combo. Jackson followed up with one more shot to the downed Beltran, prompting the referee's intervention with just one second left.
Vitaly Minakov ended Alexander Volkov's brief reign as heavyweight champion, as the Russian floored his fellow countryman with a hard uppercut and finished off the fight with a flurry of strikes from above.
And at featherweight, Patricio "Pitbull" won Bellator's latest 145 pound tournament, by quickly stopping Justin Wilcox in round one.
Here are the official results for Bellator 108.
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson def. Joey Beltran via TKO (strikes) R1, 4:59
Vitaly Minakov def. Alexander Volkov via TKO (strikes) R1, 2:57
Marcos Galvao def. Tom McKenna via TKO (strikes) R1, 4:29
Patricio "Pitbull" Freire def. Justin Wilcox via TKO (strikes) R1, 2:23
Sam Oropeza def. Chip Moraza-Pollard via KO R1, 0:37
Tom DeBlass def. Jason Lambert via KO R1, 1:45
Nah'Shon Burrell def. Jesus Martinez via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)
Will Martinez def. Kevin Roddy via submission (rear naked choke) R1, 3:50
Liam McGeary def. Najim Wali via submission (armbar) R1, 1:31

Carlyle Second-Quarter Profit Rises 92% on Holdings Sales
Devin BanerjeeCarlyle Group LP, the world's second-largest manager of investment alternatives to stocks and bonds, said second-quarter profit rose 92 percent as the firm earned more money from selling holdings.
Economic net income after taxes, a measure of profit excluding some costs, increased to $236.6 million, or 73 cents a share, from $123.2 million, or 39 cents, reported a year earlier, Washington-based Carlyle said today in a statement. Analysts had expected earnings of 74 cents a share, according to the average of 13 estimates in a Bloomberg survey.
Carlyle, like peers Blackstone Group LP and KKR & Co., has diversified its business beyond traditional leveraged buyouts by bolstering assets dedicated to real estate and credit investments, reducing reliance on volatile LBO earnings. The firm seized on rallying stock markets during the quarter to sell shares in at least 10 companies, including government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. and construction supplier HD Supply Holdings Inc.
"We will continue to aggressively realize gains in our portfolio and be selective on new deals," Bill Conway, Carlyle's co-founder and chief investment officer, said on a conference call today with investors and analysts. "The low interest rates and the abundant amount of credit have raised valuations."
Booz, Allison
Carlyle rose 0.9 percent to $34.71 at the close of trading in New York, paring the stock's loss this year to 2.6 percent. The company sold shares to the public in May 2012 for $22 apiece.
All of Carlyle's funds from which it can collect a slice of profits, including buyouts, real estate, energy and certain Global Market Strategies pools, appreciated 5 percent in the quarter. The firm's private-equity portfolio gained 5 percent, compared with 8.4 percent at New York-based Blackstone, 5 percent at New York-based KKR and 4.7 percent for the Standard & Poor's 500 index of large U.S. companies.
The value of buyout holdings at private-equity firms affects economic net income, or ENI, because the metric depends on quarterly "mark-to-market" valuations of those investments. Accounting rules require the firms to value their portfolio holdings every quarter.
Carlyle sold shares during the quarter in vehicle supplier Allison Transmission Holdings Inc. and media-ratings company Nielsen Holdings NV, among others. The firm also sold some shares of Applus Services SA, a Spanish business that provides industrial inspection and certification services, in the company's May IPO.
European Gains
European investments helped boost Carlyle's earnings, with the firm collecting carried interest, or its share of deal profits, from its third buyout fund dedicated to the continent. The fund, which closed with 5.35 billion euros in 2007 and struggled during the global financial crisis, gained 47 percent in the past 12 months and is valued at 1.7 times cost.
"We struggled early," Conway said, noting Applus and French telecommunications company Numericable Group SA as companies bought at high prices. "When the recession hit, business slowed and multiples contracted."
Numericable and Applus are now the firm's second and eighth biggest publicly traded holdings, respectively, according to today's statement.
"This quarter was characterized by solid fund performance and a healthy environment for private-equity realizations, especially in Europe," said Craig Siegenthaler, an analyst at Credit Suisse Group AG in New York.
GAAP Income
Carlyle, like other publicly traded buyout firms, reports profit that differs from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The quarterly profit under those rules, known as GAAP, was $19.5 million, or 27 cents per diluted share, compared with a loss of $3.3 million, or a 7-cent loss, in the second quarter of 2013.
Private-equity firms pool money from investors including pension plans and endowments with a mandate to buy companies within about five to six years, sell them and return the funds with a profit in a cycle lasting about 10 years. The firms, which use debt to finance the deals and amplify returns, typically charge an annual management fee equal to 1 percent to 2 percent of committed funds and keep 20 percent of profit from investments as a carried interest.
Deal Volume
Carlyle completed the highest volume of deals among global buyout firms in the second quarter, according to Credit Suisse research, investing $3.4 billion of its funds' equity. They included the $4.15 billion carve-out of Johnson & Johnson's blood-diagnostics unit, announced in January, and the $1.93 billion acquisition of Tyco International Ltd.'s fire and security business in South Korea, which Carlyle announced in March.
Worldwide, the value of private-equity deals announced in the second quarter rose 62 percent to $168 billion from the same period last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The number of deals rose 8.7 percent to 1,831 in the same period, the data show.
Earlier in the year, Carlyle closed a $3.2 billion deal for Illinois Tool Works Inc.'s industrial-packaging business. The firm is investing its sixth fund dedicated to U.S. leveraged buyouts, a $13 billion pool that finished gathering capital in November.
Assets under management at Carlyle rose to $202.7 billion from $198.8 billion at the end of the first quarter as the firm raised $7.4 billion and distributed some money back to clients. Blackstone, the largest alternative-asset manager, earlier this month said its assets reached an industry record $279 billion as of June 30.
'Strong Fundraising'
David Rubenstein, who shares Carlyle's chief executive officer title with Conway, said he expects to finish raising the firm's fourth Asia buyout fund and its first international energy fund above their targets in the third quarter. Bloomberg News has reported that the Asia fund is seeking about $3.5 billion and the energy fund is targeting $1.5 billion, according to people familiar with the plans. The energy pool will be Carlyle's biggest first-time fund ever, Rubenstein said on the conference call today.
"We expect reasonably strong fundraising performance for the remainder of the year," said Rubenstein. Conway added: "Europe and Japan are both priced about 20 percent lower than the U.S. That is too big a discount."
Carlyle's distributable earnings, a measure of cash profitability, rose to $324 million in the quarter, compared with $163 million a year earlier. The company plans to pay stockholders a dividend of 16 cents a share on Aug. 22.

Blogger, Interrupted
John Bonnes, The Twins Geek, runs the finest baseball blog in town. At least he used to. Last year he was snapped up by the Star Tribune, blogging from their sports pages, and I lost track of him. It wasn't a boycott, I assure you. My quarrels with the bias of the Star Tribune never extended to the sports page. In fact, I've never stopped reading any sections of the Star Tribune, via its website. (Although I'll never again support them via a subscription. I know they get the overwhelming majority of their revenues via ad sales and my Web patronage probably still helps them in that regard. But, as of yet, we haven't figured out a way to deny them on that end. Besides this of course.)
But I did stop reading the Twins Geek. Hard to say exactly why. His new interface was clumsy and irritating. The Star Tribune didn't consistently display the link to his site in the same place. And on some level, his content changed. Again, it's hard to say precisely how, but it seemed more tentative, obvious, dare I say, institutionalized. Kind of like a Jim Souhan column. (What a bland disappointment he's turned out to be so far.) These issues conspired to take the Twins Geek from a daily read down to a once a month, maybe.
I'm sure he didn't miss my traffic, or that from the since removed, highly exclusive blogroll link from Fraters Libertas. He was claiming 100,000 hits a month, which doesn't seem like all that much , given his status a subsidiary of the dominant news website in the market. But he seemed happy about it, so it must have been an improvement. And I'm sure he was getting paid something for his efforts, which is an infinite improvement for a guy coming from the teaming ranks of our blog-for-love proletariat.
But it looks like the gravy train is over for the Twins Geek. In his presumptive final post for the Star Tribune, he announces the end of their relationship. It doesn't exactly sound like he received a gold watch. Or even an email:
This experiment ends this week, I think, since our contract was only valid through the end of October.
"I think"? At least former Reader Representative Lou Gelfand got the courtesy of a death blow phone call, and an opportunity to accept a humiliating demotion, before he got bounced (for allegedly age discriminatory reasons - lawsuit pending).
Unfortunately, it sounds like Bonnes's tenure included a rather strained relationship with his new mainstream media colleagues. They wouldn't let him play any of their reindeer games, for the most base and most ancient motivations of all. Greed and pride. And, oh yeah, Powerline:
But the most serious criticism was from journalists who felt that the weblog was an end-around of their union, providing additional sports coverage without paying the dictated wage to a member of the writer's guild. In the bigger picture, a divisive presidential campaign increased tensions, when biased bloggers would take shots at mainstream media coverage. Many journalists ended up reacting to bloggers the way pharisees reacted to self-proclaimed prophets.
A couple of corporate lawyers in their pajamas expose the corruption of CBS News and ruin Dan Rather, and the vindictive Star Tribune reporters and editors take it out on the most vulnerable target available, the ol' Twins Geek. A sad commentary on maturity and professional ethics, to say the least.
There is a silver lining to this dark cloud of deadly sins:
As soon as I can get my act together, I'll be moving the blog back to my old site, which you'll be able to access at TwinsGeek.com. I'd be honored if you'll continue to join me.
And I will. Welcome home TwinsGeek, back to the land of no union coercion, no dictated wages, and no precious political sensibilities dictating how far you can progress. As you may recall, we just have one rule here for success. Don't suck.

text: Five Bullshit Things About David Stern's Bullshit Veto Of The Chris Paul TradeTommy Craggs12/09/11 2:50pmFiled to: Basketball reasonsNbaDavid SternChris PaulLockout with your cock outChris paul tradeNewstweetTop471EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkDavid Stern's veto of the Chris Paul trade contains so much kaleidoscoping bullshit that it seems more than worth it to lay out just some of the bullshit: Advertisement1.) David Stern had to veto the deal because he spent months selling a bullshit lockout on the bullshit grounds that the league needed competitive balance, and that taking players' money and restricting their movement would help achieve it. This was (and remains) bullshit for all the reasons Henry Abbott explained again and again, but it was (and remains) effective bullshit. It was so effective that small-market owners apparently began shrieking the moment they heard that Chris Paul could be going to the Lakers, panicked by their bullshit concern that the rich were about to get richer anyway. Even though that, too, was bullshit (as we'll explain). Stern has sold his competitive-balance bullshit for a long time, and at some point I guess he began smoking his own supply.2.) Stern further had to veto the deal because some NBA owners are still inflamed by their bullshit fear of "superteams," i.e. the Miami Heat (a team that Stern once said was good for the NBA, which wasn't bullshit). The owners' bullshit fear was further stoked by the bullshit specter of Chris Paul strong-arming his way to a perennially successful franchise of his choosing. This is bullshit because the NBA owners created their own bogeyman. Their bullshit lockout of 1998-99 was about controlling maximum salaries, which kept star players from getting paid their full value. Once bullshit max contracts were the rule, the less appealing franchises couldn't spend extra to attract or retain players, leaving Cleveland to compete with Miami head to head, as a destination. This encouraged stars to make decisions for more than money. If LeBron James or Chris Paul is going to get roughly the same deal wherever he goes, why not go to a city he likes where he can play basketball with talented friends and win a lot of games? Maybe you think that's bullshit, but that's exactly what stars are incentivized to do under the max-contract regime, which, as I say, is the real bullshit here.Advertisement3.) The Paul trade was a bad deal for the Lakers and a good one for the Hornets, the small-market team whose bullshit interests all those angry owners—and Stern, too, as Hornets owner in loco parentis—were supposedly defending. I'm with John Hollinger: The Hornets weren't going to find a better return on Paul than what they would've gotten in the deal (Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Lamar Odom, Goran Dragic, plus the Knicks' first-round pick), and what little leverage they had in the trade market for Paul has now been shot to hell and gone. The Lakers would've had a great pick-and-roll point guard with no one left to pick and roll with him. Superteam? Bullshit.4.) "When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?" obstreperous bullshitter Dan Gilbert said in a message to Stern, apparently written in the sort of pleading, self-pitying prose one finds in prison letters. Here's the bullshit thing about that: You are the Washington Generals. You have always been the Washington Generals, and until the NBA goes commie and starts arming the peasantry and redistributing the land—a la the NFL—you will go on being the Washington Generals. All sports are rigged to one degree or another. The NFL is rigged so that everyone is the Washington Generals. MLB is rigged so that the Washington Generals, upon receiving their annual bribe, are mostly content to remain the Washington Generals. And, yes, the NBA is rigged so that a handful of teams—the teams the general public actually likes to watch on TV—get to enjoy their native blessings, and everyone else is the Washington Generals.5.) So here's what we have: caterwauling small-market owners, having swallowed the competitive-balance bullshit, having just won a bullshit labor war to Make the World Safe for NBA Owners without actually doing anything to address their bullshit casus belli, prevailing upon the main purveyor of bullshit in the NBA to spike a good deal for their fellow franchise in New Orleans almost entirely out of bullshit concerns over the bullshit possibility of another superteam. It's really perfect, in a way: David Stern just sacrificed the Hornets at the altar of his own bullshit.Reply47 repliesLeave a reply

The collection consists of the personal accounts of 134 individuals who played major roles in or were eyewitnesses to important political events in Iran from the 1920s to the 1980s. Of these, 118 narratives have been digitized and are available to researchers through this database. The collection provides scholars and practitioners the opportunity to listen to and read the personal accounts of many of Iran's former political leaders as they recall the times and events that shaped their lives and the life of their country. |
