Nate and Harrington stepped it up second half...never thought we were going to lose but it wasn't pretty...
Nate and Harrington stepped it up second half...never thought we were going to lose but it wasn't pretty...
naet and harrington are physical beasts, im glad we have em cuz its rare to have an and-1 dribble guard who can shoot and adjust layups just as well AND have a pf who dribbles like a guard
**** even will ferrel got up to accept nate's pound, thats gotta boost him up to all star level
hughes had some good defense on daniels, which doesnt say much but at least he stopped shooting after going 0-5...see thats all they need him to do, score from deflections and play D
nate robison was a besat and wilcox is going to be in the strating lineup and huges still of on his shot even dough he got better in the secound half but he sure does have some hands a nd good d and that could help us out and yo where was q rich i did not see him today
i loved the way al harrington played today(no homo) except that suspect shot he took but it was all good....nate was a straight monster tonight....i see what ppl are talkin when they say larry hughes is a good defender and he definitely is wit all the deflection he gets...i kno he's a better offensive player than he's shown, in time he'll pick it up
in time Hughes will get his game legs back and his points/ shooting percentage will get better.
Great win for us, tough one but we needed it and we grinded it out. Nate was a beast today, couldn't be stopped he carried us to the win today, Lee had another day at the office(double double) and Chandler and Harrington contributed nicely. wilcox looked good( no homo) off the bench and he too in time will be better.
Nate= The Truth,
resign Nate and Lee, Walsh watches the games, and he knows how important they are to our team , no way he lets em walk
i wanna say great win cuz i only saw the exciting fourth quarter, but i heard about the ugly first half. a win is a win, and we have a tiebreaker over indiana which could be crucial down the stretch. nate had a monster game, lee had *yawn* just another double double lol, harrington played well in the 2nd half. i think we cud have played better, but hey that was a great end so im not complaining. as for larry hughes, i see many people were very dissapointed. lets not judge him so fast. hes better than q-rich no doubt. i think hughes will put up 12-15 ppg, and solid defense. this guy hasnt played in over a month and people are already hatin. now do i love the guy, nooo. but he can be a nice fill-in as a SG.
Nate is nasty, the smallest guy making the biggest shots, I wanna see more of Hughes and Wilcox for the defense.
You saw Wilcox about to slam the shyt out of one of those guys...damn maybe next time-
I love Lee I love Nate and I love the Knicks!!!!!! Woooooo that was way to close but we came out with a win.Nate came threw with a huge game as did Lee and Harrington.Walsh has to be loving what he is seeing from Lee and Nate and I still say that these two are'nt going nowhere.They will stay a Knick b/c Walsh has already seen what these two players can do for the Knicks.PAY THEM BABY!!!!!!
Congrats to the Knicks on the win!!!!
agreed i think if Walsh wasn't going to resign them he woulda traded them to get some value in return, he's seen the potential they still have and what they've been doing they saying put.
* imagine Nate coming up with the steal and the lay-in on the fastbreak the other end in the NBA Finals* :beer: soon fellas soon
Edy Cury was mo nster beest today on bench he got double double, 10 jump off seat when Knick they score and 12 botle of gaotrade
I wouldn't mind seeing Nate and Lee still around if we could get LeBron...They both good Knicks, but I don't see Walsh seeing them as untradeable...hell they were both on the cutting board a few days ago, Donnie said there were offers out there but he wasn't going to accept unless they were real good. If the right offer / situation comes along down the line, i wouldn't be surprised if he pulls the trigger on one or the other; Lee would be my guess but idk...yea there both the heart of the Knick team right now, big fan favorites, but if the situation is that one of em needs to go to get a second max player then i wouldn't be surprised to see it happen....as i said, whether it needs to be done idk, if we can get LeBron i'd say we keep the two...idk the cap numbers well enough, but i think we should try our best to keep em both around..that said, i don't think either, right now, are like championship quality players. Has nothing to do with the heart / hussle they put in, just compared to teams across the league, the lakers, celtics type teams, only with LeBron would it be possible to win with those two as like center pieces...idk what the deals going to be with money, Dlee will prob ask for a lot, and Nate too...seeing Dlee go up against Bosh, i have no reason right now to think Bosh is worth all that money...
oh and we need to give Wilcox the ball more down under, see what he could do with it..i know it's early, but he barely got any touches..
Tonight is one of those cases where you just say "Well, a W is a W".....
Another very poor coaching performance from Dantoni....it's becomming
obvious that trade during the season is not one of his strong-points.
HUGE offensive game for Nate with 41.
He has been lights out the last few games.
Lee and Harrington had strong games.
Downside: Chandler shot just 4 for 18, Duhon had 6 turnovers to 5 assists (and he normally has a great A/TO ratio) and for whatever reason, Gallo only saw 7 minutes after playing 0 yesterday.
Indiana Pacers
Jack. Season high in points.
Murphy. Season high in rebounds.
Daniels. Tied for season high in points.
No Ford. No Dunleavy. No Granger. The team's Top 3 scorers.
Pacers came in with a horrible 7 for 23 road record.
And yet the Knicks still allow 119 points, get outshot in percentage, get outrebounded, far and away get outassisted, and ultimately need a 41 point game by Nate to pull out a close victory.
ok, i didnt watch the game last night,. but judging from the box score, you are too hard on hughes. i think 5 pts 2 steals and 1 3pts in 15 mins misnt bad for a guy who is getting his legs back. Hughes is a good pickup....i support larry hughes.....(for now)
Kiyah, isnt it obvious that if the top 3 scorers are out, that a role player will have a career night?
How is it poor coaching? who should have gotten more minutes and what plays should we have run? you honestly dont think coaches get frustrated when teams jack up dumb shots?
And chandler shot a poor percentage, but he also made 6-7 free throws....so that shows that he is willing to attack if his shot isnt falling

If Manu Ginobili were a poker player, he'd be classified as a maniac: fearless and unpredictable, courting risk on seemingly every hand and pushing chips into the middle with zero regard to the odds. When it works, the maniac is liable to dominate the entire table.
When it doesn't?
You get the past three games of the Finals, in which Ginobili has bottomed out with a total of 17 points and precious little impact as a playmaker or defender.
His minus-22.8 net rating in the series — the difference between San Antonio's offensive and defensive efficiency during his 95 Finals minutes — is the team's worst by more than double. (He recorded a plus-7.8 in the regular season to rank fifth.)
Some of this is by design. The Heat, who tied up the Finals 2-2 with an emphatic 109-93 victory, know what kind of player Ginobili is, and they've defended him accordingly.
"We've been trying to get high hands on his pick-and-rolls," LeBron James said. "He's a great passer. When he raises for his threes, we try to get contests. When he drives the lane, we try to get a body in front of him and contest him at the rim. Sometimes you're lucky, and sometimes you're in the right position. So it's been a little bit of both."
And a whole lot of Ginobili, whose playing style — so entertaining to behold when things are going his way — has never lent itself to consistency. That's been a defining trait throughout his career, even at his best. Now that Ginobili's body struggles to carry out the marching orders given by his beautiful basketball mind, the tendency to crash and burn is higher than ever.
Popovich shrugged his shoulders was asked to assess what's wrong with Ginobili. "If I knew," he said, "I would have already fixed it." But Popovich might as well given his stock answer for most things Ginobili: This is what he does.
Only two rounds ago, in a game against Golden State, Popovich joked about trading Ginobili on the spot to offering homemade breakfast within the span of a minute. It was the quintessential Manu moment: A mindless long 3, taken early in the shot clock with the Spurs clinging to a three-point lead late in the second overtime, followed by the buzzer-beating, game-winning 3.
And now he's back to the other end of the spectrum, shooting 34.5 percent in the Finals and struggling to have any impact in other areas.
"I would prefer to make more shots and play better," he said. "But I didn't and that is the bottom line. Nothing else to explain."
Tony Parker and Tim Duncan spoke after Game 4 about trying to boost Ginobili's confidence. Duncan said Ginobili needs to be more aggressive, and he's got a point. As bad as Reckless Manu can be, Passive Manu might be the worst Manu of all. For Parker, it's only a matter of time before the Argentine gets back on track.
"I've been playing with him for a long time," he said. "I just know he's going to have a big game soon."
Indeed, for all his postseason struggles, Ginobili has had at least one big outing in every series so far. But Popovich conceded that it's less a matter of inducing a turnaround through tactical means than Ginobili doing it on his own.
"He's having a tough playoffs," Popovich said during a conference call on Friday. "He hasn't really found a rhythm or found his game yet. He's obviously not as confident as usual. He knows full well he hasn't performed the way he'd like and the way he's used to. But it's simplistic to say, 'What are we going to do to get him going?' He's either going to do it or he won't."
Fortunately for the Spurs, they no longer need Ginobili to be great, or even good. Especially not when Danny Green and Gary Neal, with a combined 30 3-pointers in the Finals, are effectively offsetting his lack of scoring punch.
But with no other ballhandler to effectively spell the ailing Tony Parker, they can't afford for him to be terrible.

Friday, October 14, 2011 - Wank in the Woods 2011 - Part 1
Martin Jansta is from Mlada Boleslav. He is a nice looking guy, with a very slim body. It is good to see that he makes a healthy erection for his casting.
Zdenek Valda is from Bruspert. He is a beautiful guy, so handsome. He also is very well built, with a great chest. Zdenek certainly gets that cock rock hard and pointing skywards for us. He is the complete package for sure, with a lovely arse to go with everything else.
Petr Sailer lives in Prague. He is a very handsome guy who looks very comfortable on camera. Petr has a good body, as well as a very large cock and a nice hairy hole too. He is certainly well worth bringing back for a shoot.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is ordering a fresh review of the military-run agency in charge of finding and identifying remains of tens of thousands of American service members missing from past wars.
The decision announced Tuesday follows The Associated Press's disclosure of an internal report that said the Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command is "acutely dysfunctional" and in jeopardy of failing in its mission to resolve MIA cases.
Pentagon press secretary George Little said the new review, which he termed a "second look," was ordered by James Miller, the Pentagon policy chief whose responsibilities include oversight of the POW/MIA effort.
On Capitol Hill, Sen. Claire McCaskill sent a letter to the two-star general who runs the Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command, requesting a copy of the internal report and a briefing.

What's My Horse Really Worth?
- Apr 1, 2005
- Topics:
MasterCard hasn't actually featured horses in their commercials yet, but the sentiment of this fanciful advertisement should strike a familiar chord with most horse owners. No matter their material worth in dollars and cents, our horses are priceless--at least to us.
Sometimes, however, circumstances make it necessary to determine the actual monetary value of a horse. If an owner purchases a mortality insurance policy on a horse, for example, it is necessary to know approximately how much it will cost to replace the animal if it dies. If an owner decides to sell a horse privately or at auction, the asking price or reserve bid should represent at least a well-educated guess about the animal's actual value. If a horse is killed as a result of the negligence of another person, such as the owner of a farm where the horse was being boarded, the value of the animal likely will be a major point of contention in a lawsuit.
Determining the value of a horse also can be necessary in other, less-obvious situations. Division of personal property is an issue in most divorces, amicable or not, and the court will need to be able to assign a realistic dollar amount to the parties' horses. Estate and tax planning also will be affected by the value of assets, including horses.
In each of these examples, the value of the horse in question is based on the animal's legal status as personal property. The insured value of a horse for purposes of a mortality policy, for example, is the replacement cost, or the amount of money it will take to replace the horse with a similar one. Replacement cost also is relevant for a horse killed due to another person's negligence or for a horse that is being sold. In the divorce, estate planning, and tax contexts, a horse, like any other piece of property, is an asset whose value must be determined with a high degree of accuracy.
Consider a mortality policy on a horse. While it might be tempting to think of such a policy as similar to life insurance for a person, the two actually serve very different purposes.
While mortality policies and lawsuits for damage to property are concerned with replacement value of the animal, life insurance and wrongful death lawsuits are based on the presumption that a human life is irreplaceable. Rather than providing the financial wherewithal for an owner to replace lost property, life insurance proceeds and wrongful death verdicts should compensate the survivors for their losses. Life insurance proceeds substitute for the earning power of the insured, while compensation can include lost wages, loss of companionship, and emotional distress.
In all of the property or asset examples, a general rule is that the replacement cost will mirror the horse's fair market value, or FMV. The FMV is simply the amount that the horse (or any other property) would bring if offered for sale by a willing seller with no obligation to sell and purchased by a willing buyer with no obligation to buy. This legal definition accounts for the close correlation between FMV and replacement cost. If a horse would change hands between a willing seller and a willing buyer for $10,000, for example, it is reasonable to think that a similar replacement animal could be purchased for around $10,000.
The FMV of a horse is easy to define, but sometimes difficult to calculate with any precision. When a horse is sold at public auction, the calculation is an easy one. The final bid is the animal's FMV at the time of the sale.
Determination of the FMV in other circumstances is not so straightforward. Consider a homebred dressage horse that never has been sold or even offered for sale by its breeder/owner. What is that horse's FMV for purposes of a mortality insurance policy? Or if uninsured, what monetary damages has the owner suffered if the horse is killed due to the negligence of the owner of the farm where it is boarded? What is a reasonable asking price for the horse if the owner decides on a private sale? How should the horse be valued in a divorce proceeding, or for tax estate planning purposes?
Appraising a Horse
A professional appraisal of the horse might be the best way to answer those questions. The mechanics of an appraisal should be familiar to anyone who has seen an episode of "The Antiques Roadshow" on public television: The owner of a dresser, or a piece of jewelry, or a supposed Tiffany vase with an indeterminate value presents the item to an expert. Combining his or her general knowledge of the field with experience selling similar items at auction or privately, the expert comes up with an
estimate of the value of the item in question. The expert, in other words, is making an educated guess about the item's FMV. Just how reliable that estimate actually is depends on the expertise of the person making the guess.
An appraisal of a horse works the same way. An expert reviews pertinent information about the horse, then makes his or her best estimate about the animal's monetary value. One of the most common ways to do this is to research public and private sales of horses with similar pedigrees and performance or produce records. If you are lucky enough to negotiate a private sale of a stakes-winning, stakes-producing Thoroughbred mare in foal to top sire Storm Cat, prior auction sales of similar mares should give a good estimate of the FMV of your mare.
You should expect to provide an appraiser with at least the following:
- Information positively identifying the horse being appraised. This is necessary to avoid fraud. It does not mean that the appraiser thinks that you are dishonest. It does mean that there are unscrupulous persons who might try to inflate the appraised value of a cheap horse in an attempt to cheat a buyer or an insurance company.
- The horse's pedigree--the more detailed the better.
- The horse's performance and produce records, if any.
- The purpose of the appraisal (pending sale or purchase, valuation for insurance, or litigation, for example).
- Contact information for the owner.
- Any other relevant information, including deadlines if time matters to you.
The appraiser might also want to see a veterinarian's health certificate for the horse, especially if the appraiser is not going to physically examine the animal. An appraisal does not take the place of an examination by a veterinarian, and unless qualified in some way, an appraisal generally assumes that the animal is sound and in good health.
You should expect from an appraiser the following:
- Credentials establishing his or her expertise. The American Society of Equine Appraisers (www.equineappraiser.com) offers training, continuing education, and certification for appraisers. Members of that organization agree to follow a Code of Ethics in their work. The American Association of Agricultural Appraisers (www.amagappraisers.com) also certifies equine appraisers. A non-certified appraiser might be able to do a competent job, but certification provides an added measure of confidence in the appraiser. Certification takes on a more important role if the appraiser must be qualified as an expert witness in court.
- An appraiser should have experience in the horse business in general and specifically with your horse's breed. You might want to look for membership in relevant breed organizations. An appraiser who has experience only with Thoroughbreds, for example, might not understand the significance of a placing at the Arabian Nationals.
- If the appraisal is being done for litigation, the appraiser should have experience testifying in court as an expert witness. Rules of evidence generally allow an expert to offer an opinion if it would assist the jury in making a decision. You want an appraiser who uses fundamentally sound and defensible methods for estimating a horse's value and who can make those methods understandable to a jury.
- The fee to be charged for the appraisal. Depending on the purpose of the appraisal, the expected fees could include the appraisal itself, communication with an insurance company, pre-trial depositions, and court appearances.
- Full disclosure is required of any financial or other interest the appraiser might have in the horse being appraised.
Always keep two things in mind about an appraisal:
First, an appraisal, even one done by the most knowledgeable expert in the business, is a well-informed estimate of value, but not a guarantee of anything. An appraisal that estimates the FMV of your horse at $10,000 does not mean that your horse actually will bring $10,000 if offered for sale at auction, or that there are any willing buyers at that price. Nor does an appraisal mean that the appraiser is offering to buy your horse for the estimated value. If the appraisal is being done for litigation, an ethical appraiser will not make any promises about a successful conclusion to the lawsuit.
Second, an appraisal is an estimate of your horse's value at the time the appraisal is done. The value of a horse can change over time, and usually does. Your horse can appreciate in value if you are lucky, or depreciate if you are not. The latter situation can mean a disappointment at sale time, or an unexpected shock if it becomes necessary to collect on an insurance policy.
For example, most mortality policies include a provision that automatically reduces the insured value of a horse if certain specified things happen. Consider a 2-year-old Thoroughbred purchased at auction for $50,000 and immediately insured for that amount. At the time of the sale, the FMV of the horse is the $50,000 purchase price. If the horse subsequently is entered in a race for $10,000 claimers, then dies, most mortality policies will pay the horse's owner only $10,000. The reduction is based on the assumption that entering the horse for a $10,000 claiming tag means the horse's owner is willing to sell the horse for that amount.
The insured value of a horse also might decrease to the amount of the final bid if the horse is offered for sale at auction, but not sold. The assumption here is that there is no willing buyer at a higher price.
The inverse generally is not true. If the $50,000 2-year-old in our example wins a couple of stakes races and his FMV value increases to $150,000, the insured value stays at $50,000 unless the policy is renegotiated for more coverage at a higher premium.
Assigning a value to a horse raises both practical and philosophical questions. A strong case can be made for the idea that a horse, or any other living creature, has an inherent worth beyond its utility or income-producing potential. The legal system, on the other hand, traditionally has addressed loss of property only in terms of monetary damage and replacement costs.
Other, less tangible harms--such as emotional distress--historically have been unavailable for the loss of personal property, even if the owner had a strong personal attachment to the property.
In the law's eyes, the loss of a family heirloom with great sentimental value (such as a pocket watch belonging to a much-loved grandfather) does not entitle the owner to anything beyond the replacement cost for a similar watch. Any emotional distress due to the loss of the heirloom traditionally has been legally irrelevant.
Traditional wisdom might be changing, however, as courts and legislatures begin to struggle with the distinction between animals and inanimate kinds of personal property. In Kentucky, for example, the Court of Appeals in two recent decisions has taken different approaches to compensation for the loss of animals.
In Burgess v. Taylor, the owner of two pleasure horses entrusted her animals to a "friend" who almost immediately sold both horses for slaughter. The Court of Appeals affirmed a jury verdict that awarded the horses' owner $1,000, the acknowledged FMV of the two horses, plus another $125,000 in compensation for the defendants' outrageous conduct in selling the horses and for punitive damages. The Court explained that the defendants knew of the owner's strong attachment to the two horses, and that they either knew or should have known that selling the animals for slaughter would result in emotional distress. The Court also found that the defendants' conduct was outrageous because it offended "generally accepted standards of decency and morality."
Strictly interpreted, Burgess stands for the idea that the horses' owner was compensated for the defendants' outrageous conduct, not because the horses had some special status in relation to their owner. It is difficult to imagine a similar verdict if the personal property had been a refrigerator or an automobile.
A year later, however, in Ammon v. Welty, a different panel of judges on the Court of Appeals ruled that the owners of a dog destroyed at an animal shelter before expiration of a waiting period could not recover for loss of consortium (the loss of companionship of a spouse or child). Although everyone agreed that the dog had little or no monetary value, the owners argued that they were entitled to be compensated for their loss of a loving and loyal companion. The Court ruled that a claim for loss of consortium is limited to family members. "The loss of love and affection resulting from the loss or destruction of personal property," the Court explained, "is not compensable."
Advocates for animal rights are challenging the long-standing status of horses and other animals as personal property. However, in most jurisdictions--at least for the immediate future--the value of a horse will be determined using traditional guidelines for property.

Sports fans, you have two conference championship games to savor on the eve of the last college football-filled Saturday of the regular season. We're sure you have so many questions.
No. 18 Kent State vs. No. 19 Northern Illinois
[tweet https://twitter.com/TomFornelli/status/273164325026398208]
• What information do I, the discerning sports fan, require in order to consume this game? The Huskies and Golden Flashes are scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. ET at Ford Field in Detroit. The game will be televised on ESPN2 and streamed on WatchESPN.
• What's at stake here? A possible BCS bowl trip, though as ever with teams from non-AQ leagues, the shot is an outside one. Stewart Mandel has the Golden Flashes in the GoDaddy.com Bowl in his latest projections (oh, the ad campaign they'll make for that one) and the Huskies returning to Detroit for the Little Caesars Bowl.
But there's victory in this already, for one side: Wherever Kent State goes, it'll be the program's first bowl game in 40 years.
• For whom are we to be watching? The Golden Flashes have a nasty running threat, particularly in the return game, in Dri Archer and another back, Trayion Durham, who cannot be left unattended. Archer is the nation's top kick return threat, averaging more than 38 yards an attempt. He also leads the MAC in scoring and is the FBS' fifth-ranked all-purpose runner heading into Week 14.
The Huskies have Jordan Lynch, and a bunch of other guys, and not to diminish their efforts at blocking for him or catching his passes, but Jordan Lynch is sort of overshadowing everything else at the moment. Right now, NIU's quarterback is averaging more than 134 rushing yards per game, and he needs to gain just 92 tonight to set a new NCAA record for most rushing yards by a quarterback. Racking up 250 passing yards at Ford Field would also make him the first 3,000-1,500 player in FBS history. Friday MACtion, don't let us down.
• What business did Kent State have losing to Kentucky, and NIU to Iowa? WE DO NOT KNOW.
• Where can I read more about tonight's MAC Championship Game? Full preview can be found here.
No. 17 UCLA at No. 8 Stanford
• What information do I, the discerning sports fan, require in order to consume this game? The Bruins and Cardinal are scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. ET in Palo Alto's Stanford Stadium. The game will be televised on FOX.
• Wait, what? Yes, again. These teams' final regular-season game was last week, and it was against each other. This is a first. Stanford won, 35-7. Ugh. Hey, it's Friday night, there's MACtion on another channel which may bleed into the ether and cause shootouts in the unlikeliest of places, and Gus Johnson has the call. You never know.
• Stanford is a smart kid school that doesn't have Andrew Luck anymore. How did they win a division title? Allow our own Ben Glicksman to explain.
• What's at stake here? Only a Rose Bowl bid. Mandel projects Stanford into the Granddaddy, and the Bruins to the Holiday Bowl.
• For whom are we to be watching? It's remarkable enough for a UCLA quarterback to make it to the end of a season without losing a limb, let alone be good at quarterbacking. Brett Hundley is averaging just shy of 293 yards of offense per game, and when he's not passing, he's handing of to top-10 back Johnathan Franklin.
Franklin will be contending with some very smashy defenders in cardinal and white. Stanford leads the FBS in rushing defense, sacks and tackles for loss. The Cardinal are allowing fewer than 17 points per game heading into tonight. They held Oregon to 14. And see what elite running back Stepfan Taylor can make of a UCLA ground defense that's allowing more than 150 yards per game.
• Why did these Stanford lose to Washington and UCLA lose to Cal, again? To get to the other side?Where can I read more about tonight's Pac-12 Championship Game? Full preview can be found here

Corruption case reported in Jordan Phosphate Mines Company
Jordan's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Mohammad Al Halaiqa, who was assigned to follow up the investigation committee on cases of corruption in the kingdom's public service, on Tuesday revealed that embezzlement cases were found at the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC) and at the Civil Status and Passports Department (CSPD).
Halaiqa affirmed that a detailed report will be published on Magnesia and Phosphate cases, stressing the government pledged to fight corruption by institutionalized ways.
"Upon the Prime Minister Faisal Fayez's directives the anti-corruption unit formed an investigation committee led by the Auditing Bureau chief, a member from Anti-Corruption
Unit and President of Board of Trustees of the Phosphate Company to probe into JPMC's situations", Halaiqa said in a
press conference, Petra reported.
"During the investigation the committee found out that two cheques in the amount of JD12,395 were mising, and through an intensive investigation the committee detected that two employees from the financial department at the company illegally drew the cheques from the Housing Bank," Halaiqa conveyed.
Colonel Misleh Kayed, head of the Anti-Corruption
Unit, told Jordan Times that in the case of CSPD, a "senior official" allegedly embezzled public money.
According to him, for a few years, CSPD assistant director got cheques from diplomatic missions abroad as fees from persons who relinquished or gained Jordanian citizenship. The suspect, Kayed said, exchanged the value of the cheques, which were in foreign currency, with Jordanian dinar and pocketed the proceeds that accumulated over time to a total of JD19,000.

The Crew rounds out group play in the Disney Pro Soccer Classic against USL-Pro side Orlando City SC Saturday evening (6:00 p.m. ET/Stream). Despite back-to-back wins and facing a lower division opponent, Robert Warzycha will not be taking Saturdayt's match lightly as the Black & Gold prepares for their regular season opener on March 2 against Chivas USA.
"I'm expecting our team to work hard to create chances and win the game," the Head Coach said. "We have to respect [Orlando City]. They're the home team and they will have people behind them. I'm not going to say it's going to be a very, very difficult game, but it's going to be an important game for us."
In Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Philadelphia Union, Warzycha started and played his second-unit players for 60 minutes while most of the typical starters played the final 30 minutes against the Union. The Crew skipper expects to get more out of starters on Saturday against Orlando City.
"We're building [fitness] up for our first game against Chivas USA he explained. "I think tomorrow against Orlando City [the starters] will play a little bit more than last time."
The Black & Gold will play one more match in Orlando and the Kirk Urso Memorial Match in Greensboro, NC before flying to Los Angeles on February 28 to face Chivas USA the following weekend.
With Jairo Arrieta back in the fold after spending four weeks with the Costa Rican National Team, rookie striker Ryan Finley will likely move to the bench after starting the first five preseason matches of 2013.
Coming off the bench is nothing new for the rookie. In two seasons at Notre Dame, Finley scored 28 goals despite never starting a single match.
With the departure of Emilio Rentería in the offseason, Finley will likely be the first option in relief of Arrieta.
"[Finley] is a player who is very opportunistic, creates and makes good runs," Warzycha said. "I'm sure he is going to be a perfect fit for us."
The style of play in MLS can be quite an adjustment from the college game, but Finley seems to be adapting just fine. He scored his first goal of the preseason on Wednesday against Philadelphia.
"I think the game is obviously a lot quicker and faster," the rookie explained. "The guys are bigger, stronger, faster and smarter. I need to adapt to that and I think the coaching staff and the other guys have been great with helping me with little tips and things. It's just a learning process. Every practice, you just have bring it every day and give 100-percent."
"It's different for everybody," Warzycha added. "I'm sure it will be a challenge for him, but he's going to score as many goals as he possibly can. He's very opportunistic and I'm sure he'll score goals.
"If he plays like he is playing right now, he's going to get his chances."
On November 26, the Crew had four defenders on its roster: Chad Marshall, Josh Williams, Eric Gehrig and Danny O'Rourke, who can play defense or defensive midfield. With new additions Tyson Wahl, Chad Barson, Agustín Viana, Gláuber and Drew Beckie, the Black & Gold has improved in front of net so far this preseason by outscoring opponents 8-3.
Despite the success so far, Warzycha would still like to see improvement before March 2.
"The results show that we're playing good defensive soccer, but there are some things that we need to work on some more," the Head Coach said. "The communication has to be better. I think the game against Orlando is going to be perfect for us to work on those things."

What do patients want from their radiation oncologists? The most significant preference is that more than one-third of female cancer patients (37 percent) prefer to have their hands held by their radiation oncologists during important office visits, compared to 12 percent of men, according to a randomized study presented November 4, 2009, at the 51st Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).
Another significant finding is that almost three-quarters of the patients (72 percent) preferred to be called by their first name, even among elderly patients. There is a greater preference for this among females than males (76 percent to 66 percent), and white patients compared to blacks (74 percent to 56 percent). The study also shows that while 95 percent of all patients want their oncologist to be honest with them about their chances of cure and expected survival, there is a significantly increased preference for honesty among prostate cancer patients versus lung cancer patients (97 to 91 percent).
"In oncology, a strong physician-patient relationship is essential because the patient's interactions with their doctor can help the patient confidently make life or death decisions, such as what cancer treatment is best for them," Ajay Bhatnagar, M.D., lead author of the study, a radiation oncologist at Cancer Treatment Services International in Casa Grande, Ariz., and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute in Pittsburgh said. "Oncologists can use these results to provide greater patient satisfaction for their patients, and therefore significantly improve patient care."
The study sought to find out what cancer patients wanted from their patient-doctor relationship and whether their physicians would be able to change their behaviors to satisfy their patients' preferences if they had knowledge of these preferences. The prospective randomized trial took place between June 2006 and March 2008 and involved 508 patients, who underwent radiation for breast, prostate or lung cancer. Patients answered a survey about their preferences of their radiation oncologist, with a variety of questions focusing on the patient-doctor relationship. The survey was given at three time periods: prior to initial consultation, midpoint of radiation treatment, and at completion of radiation therapy.
The patients were randomized into two groups, based on whether their oncologist reviewed their initial patient preference survey responses (experimental group) or did not (control group). At time of completion, the patient also completed a satisfaction survey.
In addition to other findings, nearly three-quarters of all patients (70 percent) are neutral about their radiation oncologist wearing a white coat or professional clothing. The study also shows that 95 percent of high school graduates show a greater preference for having their radiation treatment described in everyday language by their radiation oncologists, compared to 91 percent of college graduates and 84 percent of post-graduate patients.

Leaders of a group of area residents and businesses that oppose Walmart opening a new Neighborhood Market in western Russellville will have a chance to share their perspective with the City council at the 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. No input from the public will be taken during the meeting.
In a letter to the Mayor's office, attorney John R. Peel said he would be available to attend the meeting and answer questions form the council. He requested the meeting be held upstairs at city hall and should be broadcast over local media channels. In addition, he requested that other persons be allowed to speak.
On Monday, Mayor Bill Eaton said that the opposition group will have the same chance at a round-table meeting as Walmart representatives had last week with council members.
He said this is being done at the request of the City Council and this is is an opportunity for those who have different concerns to have a valid conversation.
Having the meetings separately will go along way toward avoiding cheering sessions, said Eaton. This venue is designed to be for fact finding and information sharing. There are no specific objectives laid out by the council.
He said he has no idea what council members may ask. Eaton reiterated that the regular Council meeting is on Thursday, Feb. 21 and it will be open for all members of the general public to speak.

No RTs Here: Bossip Counts Down The Dumbest Twitter Feuds Of All Time
Dumbest Twitter Feuds Of All Time
Twitter is a glorious place. There's hilarious commentary, news and gorgeous women abound. But some people don't know how to just sit back and enjoy themselves. Instead they embark on really stupid feuds and beefs that nobody wants to be apart of. They just make us shake our heads.
So let's take a look at some of these people who went in and had some of the dumbest Twitter feuds imaginable.

Quote:Well thanks for the concern Jude,
Quote:You know, ground work in a fight is usually only prolonged if you are not good at it (you can't finish your opponent or you can't get up). And sometimes it is very short if your not good at it(you get your limbs broken, you get choked out, or you get knocked out). I don't think anyone has prolonged groundwork as a strategy. In fact, I'll do you one better and say that prolonged striking is not contained within classical kata. However, in training to develop skills you can engage in prolonged striking training sessions. Training methods to develop skill are different from classical kata. I personally believe that that is a big mistake many people are making. They are confusing principles of fighting contained in classical kata with training methods. I personally look at grappling training the same way I view weight lifting or sprint training or hojo undo or calesthenics. It is a training method to develop a skill set. That is why Kyan's father trained him in a form of wrestling before he began classical karate training.
Quote:Every strike in karate is a strike, it is an armbar, it is a counter to a grab from the rear, you move that step is to disrupt an opponents leg, or even disrupt their instep so surgeons get large payments, you may practice straight line movement, but in application it might be at any angle to an attack.

Although evaluations of various approaches to private space flight — and even "space tourism" — have assessed such efforts as ranging from innovative to quixotic, the concept of private corporations ferrying humans to orbit, or using suborbital craft for high speed transportation around the Earth, has endured. To date, Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic has often been seen as the most serious contender for being the first to accomplish the feat of creating a fleet of spacecraft for suborbital flights. As reported for The New American in December 2009, over 300 individuals had already committed to a $200,000 per flight price tag to fly on a Virgin Galactic flight. But now SXC has entered the competition, at a dramatically reduced — and yet still fittingly astronomical — price tag of $93,000.
Wealthy Dutch businessman Michiel Mol — the cofounder of SXC — boasted that once SXC develops its capacity for high-speed global travel, it will be the future of transportation; The Sunday Times quotes Mol as declaring, "Being able to travel from London to Sydney in an hour and 45 minutes, that is the future. It is also the reason why KLM joined our firm [Space Expedition Curacao, or SXC] as a partner."
The decision last year by aerospace giant Boeing to enter the "space tourism" market offered a sense of seriousness to the field that many observers may have thought lacking prior to that point; now, the action of KLM, a major international airline, partnering with SXC offers a similar perception of credibility. Airlines may not rank very high in public opinion, but despite their delays, fees, and frequent shortcomings, they generally deliver on their promise of on-time transportation.
However, it remains to be seen how large of a market exists for flights with a $93,000–$200,000 price tag.
At present, it appears that Virgin Galactic is winning private industry's "space race." If the company holds to its current schedule, Virgin Galactic will begin operations a full two years ahead of SXC. However, since both companies are committed to opening up the realm of suborbital flights as a significant factor in future global travel, neither Virgin Galactic nor SXC is focused solely on short term goals. As The Sunday Times reports:
Sir Richard Branson intends to become the first private space tourism operator, booking seats at $200,000 each for suborbital flights on his Virgin Galactic vehicles, which he hopes to begin launching as soon as 2012.
Mol intends to follow suit in early 2014 and says he has already sold 35 tickets at $93,000 for flights from the Caribbean island of Curaçao. Regulatory approval is still under negotiation.
His first spaceship, the Lynx, from the Californian firm XCOR Aerospace, will be unveiled next spring and will, he claims, feature breakthrough technology with a reusable engine.
"It's the first time a spaceship will be capable of doing four flights a day and of doing 5,000 flights with one engine," he said.
Time will tell whether the Lynx will perform as promised, and how both Virgin Galactic and SXC will fare as the economic travails of the industrialized world continue. What seems certain is that a free market approach to space travel is alive and well.

Hey Steve: while I was on a business trip I had a good conversation with my friends, one who is agnostic and the other an Evangelical. Both of them agreed they didn't believe in "organized religion". From your Protestant background is there a specific meaning to that term or is it just another way to describe the Catholic Church. I thought Jesus was very organized having 12 apostles and when they replaced Judas and the first council etc…. Those are things in my mind that describe an organized way of a belief system. Or am I off on this. Reply when it's convenient.
Hello Friend: "Organized religion" has nothing to do with being organized. Used in a negative manner, it refers to a government, denomination, or authority that has become institutionalized and that subsequently attempts to intrude into your life — ruling over you.
"Organized religion" is something (an institution or government) that steps in, takes authority and expects something of the person — something that interrupts or circumvents the simple, personal relationship they supposedly have with Jesus. The Evangelical often thinks of Christianity as a purely vertical relationship — me and Jesus. They forget that Jesus said, "I will build my Church!"
Because the evangelical often rejects an institutional, hierarchical "Church" or any "man-made" authority over them — outside the Bible Alone — "organized religion" is seen as a man-made institution that arrogates authority for itself — trying to take the place of Jesus. The gospel was once "pure, simple, Bible-only, and non-institutional. "Organized religion" is seen as the opposite of, or even opposed to, an "authentic, personal relationship with Jesus.

Distinguished actor and six-time Academy Award nominee Richard Burton reads a selection of his favourite poetry. Volume 2 in this dramatic audiobook series includes selections from William Shakespeare, John Donne, and Thomas Hardy.
Public Domain (P)2012 Saland Publishing
"More wonderful vocal work."
As in volume one of this collection, Burton is on wonderful form. While many may be familiar with his "Undermilkwood" and "Ancient Mariner", these less well known recordings are a treasure. His measured, lambent tones seem particularly suited to Hardy, but his vocal dexterity is equally able to illuminate Donne's complex and subtle lyrics. Really rather splendid.

Of all the challenges that wedding and event videographers face—from mastering new digital formats to keeping on top of the latest camera technology to the rising cost of gas—the fact that they may be engaging in illegal activity must take the cake!
In the ongoing "white space" saga (first described in this column in April 2007), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has now voted unanimously to prohibit the manufacture, sale, import, or shipment of wireless microphones and other devices that operate in the 700mHz band. Technically speaking, the affected bandwidth actually encompasses the 614.000mHz–806.000mHz spectrum.
Come Feb. 17, 2009, that's it for wireless mics operating in those frequencies. They're known as "white spaces," and they are the new mineral promising a high-tech gold rush. First, how many of you use wireless mics in your video business? Industry estimates say more than a million such devices exist in the marketplace. My studio has a set of eight Electrosonic wireless mics for remote location or in-house video production use.
To complicate matters, the FCC has launched a proposal to authorize current unauthorized users in the 700 band—many wireless mic users are not licensed, a violation of FCC rules—by allowing them to operate on channels below 52–69. The FCC will also look into complaints about the marketing of these microphones—complaints received from those who say potentially illegal products are still entering the market.
As videographers, broadcasters, and event managers know, the concern is that microphones operating in that range may suffer from or cause interference with transmissions in the new digital TV world.
It's unlikely that industry trade groups or associations will be able to stop a $16 billion initiative (the value of analog to digital transition and related spectrum auctions), but liaisons between such groups, their mic-using members, and the manufacturing sector could be educational for all concerned.
In any event, new wireless audio products are being released and are now shipping worldwide. The manufacturers of these products insist that their offerings do not conflict with current or proposed legislation, so new features and functions are being introduced into a number of products.
Shure The new Shure UR1M Micro-Bodypack (Figure 1) is an ultracompact package—about half the size of most standard bodypacks. It weighs barely 3 ounces, even with two AAA batteries, making it easy to wear and conceal for many wedding participants or ceremony celebrants.
Shure says its UHF-R wireless microphone technology, its latest Wireless Workbench software, and its patented Audio Reference Companding technology deliver really clean sounding audio across a 60mHz–75mHz tuning range, twice that of any other bodypack on the market. The UHF-R user's guide specifies the products carrier range as 518mHz–865mHz, depending on the region, both overlapping and outreaching the controversial spectrum.
The UR1M also features selectable 10mW or 50mW RF power, with up to 9 hours of battery life. It has a backlit LCD display for audio monitoring and power metering.
The UR1M has a suggested retail price of $3,198.
Shure is also shipping new Countryman offerings, including head-worn and lavaliere microphones that can be used with the wireless UR1M transmitter. Sold with different pickup or coverage patterns, available in different skin-tone colors, and featuring two types of connectors, the WCB6 Micro-Lavaliere mic and the WCE6 Earset boom mic are incredibly small, but the sound is quite big, with solid pick-up and good rejection of surrounding noise.
The Earset mics are priced around $480. The WCB6 Micro-Lavaliere lists at about $580.
TrantecTrantec, a microphone brand owned by Japanese company TOA, is offering two new pro wireless packages in the U.S. and Canada. The S5.5 UHF diversity wireless microphone system comes with 24 channels and a full 72mHz of operating range in a frequency range of 863mHz–865mHz.
Available in both a hand-held and a lavaliere configuration and operating for up to 10 hours on a single AA cell, the transmitter pack is about 4 ounces, measuring around 2" x 3". The receiver operates with a 300mA @ 12 V DC nominal power supply, according to the manufacturer. Outputs include Balanced XLR, unbalanced 1/4", and a USB data port. Squelch and frequency setup can be controlled remotely via the USB port from a PC, while the LCD display on the receiver clearly displays such parameters as well.
Trantec also offers a remote-powered antenna for those long-throw and difficult line-of-sight setups. It's a fixed-mount dipole antenna for permanent installation, but remote ad-hoc operation is supported. The unit provides a full 8dB gain on signals from Trantec receivers across a maximum connection distance, depending on cable type, of up to 165'. The mic package is priced at $1,030.
TascamTop-notch wireless mic systems may be a nonstarter for some videographers—either the costs or a potential legal hassle make them so. If that's the case, a nice, new $70 stereo wired mic from Tascam should be of interest.
I know a lot of you do sit-down, he-said-she-said-type interviews with the bride and groom or other family members. In my videos, I often have occasion to interview two, three, or more visual artists or museum curators in a group setting. Working with three or four wireless mics is now beyond our capabilities, as mentioned, but in some settings, it's just as effective to mic a small group as it is a number of individuals.
Using the new TM-ST1 stereo electret condenser mic from Tascam (Figure 2) lets you switch stereo pickup patterns between 90 and 120 degrees to more closely capture wanted sounds, while reducing unwanted background noise. It comes with a microphone clip, tabletop stand, and windscreen. The microphone is battery-powered and has a stereo jack on the output. Tascam's TM-ST1 is now shipping with a $99 MSRP, but street prices can be $20–$30 less.
HolophoneYou won't get great surround sound at a price point below $100 like the Tascam's, but the designers at mic-maker Holophone are almost there.
Holophone's newest product, the PortaMic 5.1 (Figure 3), delivers in-studio or in-field surround sound recording capability in a small, camera-mountable form. Six separate pickup elements are housed in a 2.5" x 1.5" mic head, each corresponding to the speakers in a typical surround sound playback environment. Using Holophone's patented encoder, the six channels are digitized down to two channels, easily recorded on any camcorder or outboard audio device. The company's multichannel decoder then unwraps the audio in a postproduction or NLE setting.
Recordings made by the PortaMic 5.1 can be output to a stereo miniplug. The mic also features unity gain control and a 12dB pad. Additional accessories for the PortaMic 5.1 include boom handles and pistol grips. The mic and encoder are powered by one 9V battery.
The PortaMic, which was first introduced in Europe, should sell in the U.S. for less than $600.
SennheiserAlso being introduced in Europe are the first digital microphones from Sennheiser. The new MZD 8000 is actually a screw-on digital module, turning the company's 8020, 8040, and 8050 models into digital microphones that transmit audio signals according to the AES 42 standard.
This new standard defines the transmission of output signals, the supply of power, and the remote control of microphones with digital outputs—and it's supposed to give us much cleaner audio as well.
Because A/D conversion takes place directly behind the mic head, Sennheiser says sound is "translated" with all original characteristics intact. They say cable losses, disturbance from stray pickup, and deterioration in sound quality caused by A/D conversion are a thing of the past.
In addition to the A/D converter (24-bit sampling rate, up to 192kHz), the digital module contains a DSP unit that allows microphone settings such as the low-cut filter, attenuation, and limiter to be controlled remotely. The digital module for the MKD 8000 range will be available later this year.
CorrectionFUBAR is one of those acronyms that doesn't really need translation—I don't think the FCC (or whoever controls trade magazine transmissions) would let us spell it out, even if we needed to. But it describes a recent situation with Gear & Now, in which high-end audio technologies were discussed.
As one careful reader noted, milliwatts, megawatts, MWs and mWs were mixed up, if not misused. Battery power in the milliwatts is fairly normal; triple A's that provide megawatts are unheard of! Likewise, mic outputs in the millions of watts (capital M) are very strong—milliwatts, mWs, or about a thousandth of a watt, are more like it. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

The El Paso County Sheriff says a gun ditched by James Franklin Lohr as he was being pursued by police early Friday morning has been recovered.
Friday night, sheriff's investigators said they were looking for the gun tossed by Lohr, who is one of two men wanted for questioning in connection to the murder of the Colorado prisons chief.
Authorities released video surveillance showing Lohr, 47, a felon and member of the white supremacist 211 Crew prison gang, ditching the firearm during the pursuit Friday morning. The video also showed two men finding the gun and taking it.
But according to the sheriff's Twitter account, the gun was turned in Friday night by a person who received it from one of the people who picked up the weapon.
Lohr, who had three outstanding Colorado warrants in cases not related to the March 19 murder of Department of Corrections chief Tom Clements, was spotted by officers about 1:30 a.m. Friday leaving a business on Platte Avenue east of Union Boulevard, according to the sheriff's office.
Colorado Springs police officers tried to stop the vehicle Lohr was driving, but he took off, the sheriff's office said. Police pursued Lohr and his vehicle became disabled near Bijou Street and Hancock Avenue. He then ran off but was taken into custody without further incident at 3:35 a.m. in the 200 block of Cedar Street.
Lohr is one of two 211 Crew members investigators have been searching for in recent days in connection to the murder of Clements on March 21 at his Monument home.
Law enforcement has not yet captured the second man, Thomas James Guolee, 31.

Senior's five touchdowns help lift Eagles to regional final
DALLAS — Argyle senior Ian Sadler ensured that his final high school contest wasn't a second-straight playoff loss to Gilmer.
In Friday's Class 3A Division II regional semifinal, Sadler scored five total touchdowns and lifted Argyle to a 45-38 win against Gilmer at Kincaide Stadium.
Argyle (13-0) remains undefeated and avenged its only loss in its last 25 games. The Eagles knocked Gilmer out of the postseason and advance to face Gladewater or Gainesville in the Region II final — mostly because of Sadler's performance.
Sadler, who has orally committed to Texas Tech, finished the night with 28 carries for 182 yards and four touchdowns. He also added 38 receiving yards and a touchdown through the air.
"I don't have that kind of vocabulary to describe how big he was for us tonight," Argyle head coach Todd Rodgers said. "Probably many multi-syllable words to describe how extravagant and amazing he was."
This is the fourth straight year Argyle and Gilmer have met in the playoffs. Argyle won the first two contests before losing to Gilmer last season in the 3A Division II regional semifinals.
Sadler provided a key touchdown early in the fourth quarter to keep the Buckeyes from ending Argyle's season again.
With the Eagles leading 31-28, Sadler took a handoff from quarterback Brandon Boyzuick, sprinted to his left, and headed to the left corner of the end zone. As a Gilmer defender was dragging Sadler out of bounds, the senior extended the ball and his right arm across the goal line to put the Eagles ahead by 10.
He wasn't going to be denied on Friday night.
"Honestly, this is the biggest win I've had in my four years of high school football," Sadler said. "I couldn't tell you how much this game meant to me."
He overcame an early fumble and added a 16-yard touchdown run with 2:19 left that ushered Gilmer's fans down the bleachers and toward Interstate 20.
"At that point, I couldn't be more thankful at how this game ended up," Sadler said. "I was so happy and so relieved. I don't know how to explain it."
Early on, it looked as if mistakes were going to plague Argyle.
Gilmer quarterback Tanner Barr hit Jaidon Parrish for a 15-yard touchdown reception to give the Buckeyes an early 7-0 lead with 7:32 left in the first quarter.
On Argyle's ensuing drive, Sadler took a carry across the middle of the field. As Sadler was hit, the ball lingered in the air and Gilmer's Nick Smith snatched the fumble before it hit the ground.
Gilmer seemed to be in position to take advantage of the error, but Argyle sophomore Drew Estrada intercepted Barr and set up Argyle for its first touchdown, a 29-yard scoring pass from Boyzuick to Sadler.
Argyle scored two more touchdowns, but Gilmer responded late in the second quarter.
On fourth-and-goal, Josh Walker hauled in a 1-yard pass from Barr with 1:41 left in the half. Argyle's Cole Hedlund knocked down a 41-yard field goal as time expired in the first half to give the Eagles a 24-21 lead going into the halftime break.
Rodgers said a big run by early in the second half by junior running back Nick Ralston helped push the Eagles in the right direction. Ralston finished the night with 128 yards on 14 carries.
Ralston said that when it comes down to it, he and Sadler are asked to carry Argyle's offensive burden. The task was primarily Sadler's on Friday night, and he did not fail his team.
"He just has so much heart," Ralston said. "God, he carried the team tonight. It was amazing."
Barr led Gilmer's offense. The Buckeyes' quarterback completed 22 of 40 passes for 277 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. He also ran the ball 10 times for 84 yards and a 65-yard touchdown.
Argyle's defense held Gilmer to a field goal late in the fourth quarter before Sadler's final touchdown run that helped seal the win.
The Eagles are now two wins away from appearing in their third state championship game and three wins away from their first football state title.
"This was a big game, but in the long run, it's a steppingstone in the way," Sadler said. "I mean, don't get me wrong — Gilmer's a great team — but it's something we just needed to get through to get to the state championship and win it."
