New York Jets
Tim Tebow - #15 - QB
|6' 3"/ 236 lbs.
|Makati City, Ph
|Years played
|2010, 1st round, 25th pick by Broncos
Suddenly unwanted, Tebow's NFL future uncertain
After one terribly frustrating season in New York, Tim Tebow's NFL future is completely unknown.
Throwing cold water on Tebow-to-Jacksonville rumblings
Tim Tebow to Jacksonville could very well happen, but it's hardly a "virtual certainty" at this point.
McElroy out, Sanchez back in for Week 17
Jets QB Greg McElroy is being evaluated for a concussion and will not play in the season finale. Mark Sanchez will start against the Bills.
Jets announce QB McElroy will start Sunday
The Jets announced Tuesday that Greg McElroy will be the team's starting quarterback in Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Sanchez named Jets' starting QB for Week 14
Rex Ryan named Mark Sanchez the Jets' starting quarterback for their Week 14 game against the Jaguars.
Tuesday's 60-second rant: McElroy the only decision for Ryan
Now that Rex Ryan has made the tough decision of yanking Mark Sanchez, he should make the easy one and start Greg McElroy Sunday.
Ugly loss 'hard to fathom' for Jets coach Rex Ryan
Jets coach Rex Ryan addressed the team's embarrassing Thanksgiving-night loss in a conference call on Friday.
Tebow's rib injury brings more questions to Jets' QB situation
Tim Tebow was active with a rib injury on Thursday night, which made observers wonder about the status of No. 3 QB Greg McElroy.
Tebow ratio must be balanced; Cowher to Carolina?
Keeping Mark Sanchez in rhythm and creating more rollout packages for Tim Tebow in the red zone could spark the Jets' offense.
Tebow could step in at RB for short-handed Jets
Tim Tebow might add a new job title — running back — to an already-lengthy list.
AFC East Spin cycle: Week Four
The AFC East standings may look close, but Week Four proved that the Patriots are still ahead of the class.
NFL Links: Chargers RB Mathews on a short leash
Ryan Mathews could become "somebody else's fumbler," Alex Smith almost never looks deep and Jared Allen has earned the Lions' respect.
After Summer of Tebow, Jets still Sanchez's team
Kevin Fishbain says the Jets deserve kudos for the addition of Tim Tebow if it results in a strong campaign for Mark Sanchez.
Searching for hope for the Jets
There is plenty of pessimism about the Jets after a lackluster start to the preseason. PFW's Kevin Fishbain tries to find some positives.
When to draft Tebow
The most celebrated backup quarterback in league history is an intriguing fantasy option for owners. But when should Tim Tebow be drafted?
Tebow plans to report for offseason workouts Monday with a "great attitude."||||||| He offered little insight into his feelings about the Jets signing quarterback David Garrard or about the rampant speculation that his time in New York might be ending after one disappointing and unproductive season.
The Jets are also hamstrung by the contract of Sanchez, who is coming off a miserable season but is guaranteed $8.25 million in 2013.||||||| He would cost the Jets a $17.1 million cap hit if they cut him.
Tebow won't be playing for his hometown team. The Jacksonville Jaguars made it clear Thursday that they have no plans to pursue the popular and polarizing New York Jets backup quarterback.||||||| The Jets are likely to release the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and Jacksonville native during the offseason, and many believed Tebow would land with the Jaguars. ESPN quoted a source who said it was a "virtual certainty" that Tebow would play in Jacksonville in 2013. But new general manager David Caldwell nixed that idea at his introductory news conference, saying, "I can't imagine a scenario in which he'll be a Jacksonville Jaguar - even if he's released."
Tebow and Mark Sanchez are both active as Greg McElroy's backups in the New York Jets' regular-season home finale against the San Diego Chargers.||||||| It is the first time all season that Rex Ryan has had all three of his quarterbacks active for a game. By having all three available, Ryan avoids having to designate either Sanchez or Tebow as the No. 2 quarterback Sunday.
Rex Ryan had higher expectations for the New York Jets' wildcat-style offense with Tebow, and says things haven't "panned out" the way he or the backup quarterback anticipated.||||||| Ryan would not go into detail Wednesday about why he chose Greg McElroy over Tebow to replace the struggling Mark Sanchez as the starting quarterback. He says it was his decision to go with the third-stringer, and didn't consult with any players before making the call Tuesday - other than to tell Sanchez after the Jets' 14-10 loss to Tennessee on Monday night that he was out as the starter.

- Lay two slices of bacon across the bottom of a large pot. Cover with a layer of cabbage. Sprinkle a light dusting of flour and a pinch of caraway seed. Season with a little salt and pepper. Repeat layering as many times as possible until you run out of room.
- Fill the pot with enough water to come about 3/4 up the side. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 45 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft, stirring occasionally. Let cool slightly, then stir in the vinegar and sugar. Use your own judgment. Add sugar carefully to taste. The idea is to strike a balance between the sweet and the sour, and therein lies the trick.

I took ideas from a few of the previous reviews to make this cabbage and it was delicious! I used bacon pieces instead of strips, apple cider vinegar and Splenda instead of sugar (Splenda is somewhat sweeter than suger so be careful). I also threw in a vegetable bouillon cube and used less salt; instead of pouring salt on all layer, I salted 2 of 4 layers. I don't think you need as much flour as the recipe calls for; next time, I'll use half. Also, I could have thrown in another head of cabbage after the first head boiled down to even out the juice. Even though there are some things that I would do differently next time, this was still the best cabbage I've made and I've made a lot of cabbage! You can not go wrong with following the recipe verbatim.
I have searched for this recipe for years, finding similar but not exactly the flavor or sauce consistency, until now! Excellent as given or without the bacon which is how I made it today to serve with ham. At long last, the right combination, delicious!
Pam Schwartz1
This is a great cabbage recipe. Since my husband and I are on Weight Watchers, I leave out the bacon and use Splenda instead of the sugar. That cuts the calories, therefore the "Points" and it's still delicious. I like it with a ham slice and some microwaved sweet potatoes for a tasty but simple dinner.

Thanks to Keith from the UK for pointing out something odd in my book that doesn't seem to work as it did in earlier versions of PHP:
If you have a regular expression (I use the POSIX ones almost exclusively since they're UTF-8 aware whereas the Perl ones were not when last I inquired), and you want to set a range for the number of matches on a particular expression you can use the syntax:
$expr = '[a-zA-Z]{5,50}'; // matches between 5 (incl) and 50 (incl) letters
Now, the problem is: what if you want to have the number of characters in the range be PHP variables that you can set in a configuration file or some such thing? Your first attempt, and what I used in my book, might be:
$expr = "[a-zA-Z]\{$min,$max}"; // double quotes for var expansion
And you would get a wonderfully annoying error message from the PHP engine:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting '}' in Filename on line 5
No amount of backslashes will fix this problem. It turns out that the PHP parser consumes
{ and
} characters when performing complex variable expansion, so …. all you have to do is add an extra set around each of the variables you wish to expand. PHP leaves the other two alone:
$expr = "[a-zA-Z]{{$min},{$max}}"; // extra { }s are consumed.
And what you are left with is a wonderfully working regular expression.[Read Rest of Article]
For those programmers coming to PHP from other languages, the distinction between the keywords
break and
continue is quite clear. The former is used to abort loop execution or a
switch statement while the latter is used to skip to the top (or bottom) of a loop.
So, despite knowing better, I still found myself spending more time than I'd like debugging the following code:[Read Rest of Article]

Progress Software Corporation today announced that China's largest investment bank by market value, CITIC Securities Co., has selected the Progress Apama algorithmic trading platform to enable it to offer its institutional investor clients low-latency, algorithmic and high-frequency trading strategies customized to their requirements.
CITIC Securities selected the Apama solution in response to the growing demand from institutional investors in China for more algorithmic trading services. These investors want access to low-latency algorithmic and high-frequency trading strategies across multiple asset classes. The Apama algorithmic trading platform will enable CITIC Securities traders to create customized execution algorithms that operate on domestic markets and can manage high volumes of client order flow. These unique, customized strategies will provide CITIC Securities' institutional clients a significant competitive advantage.
Additionally, CITIC Securities will use its new Apama algorithmic trading platform to offer innovative, pre-packaged, customized strategies for institutional investors. This will shorten the time to market for new strategies that access liquidity in milliseconds, clearly differentiating them from competitors.
CITIC Securities set out to meet the considerable market opportunity in China by identifying options to replace its existing fixed platform with one that would allow it to rapidly customize high-frequency algorithmic trading strategies for its clients. Following a consultation round with a number of local and international vendors, Progress Software's solution-based approach, reputation and local experience led CITIC Securities to make the decision to implement the Progress Apama algorithmic trading platform.
A CITIC Securities spokesperson said: "When you're talking about trading where milliseconds make a difference, it was critical that we selected an algorithmic trading solution that would enable us to compete in a high frequency trading market with a competitive edge. The Progress Apama platform will initially be integrated with our order management system. Next, we plan to extend the algorithmic trading system into a multi-products programming trading system. Our goal is to build the best algorithmic trading system in China's markets."
Dr. Richard Bentley, industry vice president, capital markets at Progress Software said: "Progress Apama will give CITIC Securities the ability to quickly develop and deploy unique trading strategies, to achieve dramatic advantages over competitors trading with commoditized 'black box' offerings. As the first investment bank in China to deploy a fully customizable algorithmic trading platform, CITIC Securities will be leading the way and setting the standard for the Chinese securities industry. We are honored to be selected by such a prestigious company in this important project and look forward to working closely with CITIC Securities."

Turning a Piece of Property Into a Beautiful Home
When someone purchases a piece of property to build a home on, there are many things that need to be done to that property. If they are in need of a tree service Phoenix has many options for them. Many times, there are trees and stumps that need to be cleared out of the way. Tree removal Phoenix can remove trees of any size and remove the stumps as well. They will also be able to remove damaged trees.
This is going to clear the area so that the building can be begin. It is exciting for people who are getting a new home. They have many plans for landscaping around the home after it is built also. They want their home to look amazing.
If someone lives in Phoenix landscaping is something that can be done at most times of the year. Some plants will grow better in certain seasons though. Finding the plants and bushes that look best with the décor of the home can be tricky though.
For beautiful results, people are depending on companies doing the landscaping Phoenix. They will have many options for homeowners. If they are looking for more green, they may decide to plant shrubs or leafy plants. Some people want to have beautiful flowers so they will plant a variety of different ones that will flower at different times of the year.
In Scottsdale landscaping companies may plant perennials that will come back every year. A homeowner may want them to plant annuals so that they can make a decision on what they like best though. This allows them to change their landscaping from year to year.
When people have a beautiful flower garden or a vegetable garden, they may need to water it. Arizona has many dry spells throughout the year and without water, most plants cannot survive. It will be very important to install a sprinkler system in these areas.
They need to make sure that they are adjustable on the flow rate of the water as well as the direction that it can go. Every sprinkler system is going to require some extensive installation. A professional should do this to make sure that it is installed properly.

I am still dreaming about the quick and low fat feast that I made this past weekend. Okay fine, so it wasn't a "feast" but it was delicioso! Turkey, roasted peppers and montery jack burgers with baked sweet potato fries!
- 1 lb. Ground turkey
- 1 diced roasted pepper
- 1/4 fine shredded low fat montery jack cheese
- 1 egg white 1 sweet potato
- Non-fat cooking spray
Okay so preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse off that sweet potato and cut 1/4"wedges with a steak knife. (Those e can be hard!) Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray bottom with fat free cooking spray and line up your wedges. Give a light spray on top as well. Bake for 20 minutes and flip and bake for another 20 minutes.
Crispy and yummy and hello?!?!? Not fried! Okay let's talk burger! Get a bowl and smash the ground turkey, diced pepper, lite cheese and egg white together and form 4 patties. You can either broil, or cook in pan sprayed with non-fat cooking spray. Internal temperature should read 170 degrees. Great plain or with a little horseradish sauce for a little spunk! See? Drooling!

Maybe they weren't precisely made in Knoxville, but they definitely morphed into an iconic item here. For the nostalgia buff: a light bulb from the J, F, or G of the JFG Coffee Sign dismantled at the south end of the Gay Street Bridge. The revived sign will feature new technology, wherever it ends up after its restoration; proceeds from the bulbs (which come with a certificate of authenticity) will go towards preserving other vintage signs in East Tennessee.
Sold on Knox Heritage's website, knoxheritage.org, $10 each plus nominal shipping and handling.

Back And Better Than Ever: Bubba Watson and Friends "Golf Boys" Drop New Single "2.Oh"
Fans have waited patiently for this day. Finally the much anticipated follow up to the Golf Boys' debut single "Oh, Oh Oh" has surfaced and Bubba Watson, Ben Crane, Rickie Fowler and Hunter Mahan put on an encore performance for the record books. The goofy golf foursome, known for disregarding the typical stereotypes of prim and proper golf athletes, have returned with an insanely hilarious single, sure to be a hit, entitled "2.Oh."
In a song written by acclaimed musician, Mat Kearney, the boys can be seen name-dropping many of their fellow PGA Tour members in some extraordinarily clever and comical manners. Oakley's Bubba Watson brought back his barefoot and blue-jean overalls look, with an addition of his favorite white Oakley Dispatch sunglasses. Playing off his buttoned up collared shirt style, Watson also rocks JUST the collar of his golf polo in an attempt to show his fun side, while still remaining "classy."
The track wasn't produced just for kicks. It's also made for a good cause. Sold on iTunes, the proceeds of the single will go to charity. You can visit http://mycharitywater.org/GolfBoys for more information about the cause and Golf Boys campaign. The song is available on iTunes here: Golf Boys – "2.Oh" on iTunes
No written explanation is going to do this video justice, so make sure you check it out for yourself. In a refreshingly light hearted fashion, the Golf Boys show you that there is more to the PGA than collared shirts and country club rules. These boys know how to have fun, which is clearly apparent in their newest single "2.Oh."

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Braddock gets another chance with Orioles
For those who wondered what would become of left-hander Zach Braddock after the Brewers released him in early May, we got the answer Wednesday when he signed a minor-league deal with Baltimore with an invitation to big-league camp.
It was difficult to say what would happen with Braddock when the Brewers released him to clear a 40-man roster spot to add Brooks Conrad (which didn't work out so great). He had been on the inactive list at Class AAA Nashville, and HIPAA laws prevented the Brewers from releasing any of his health information.
It was no secret that Braddock, 24, was struggling with personal issues, including sleep disorder. But it went deeper than that, including some admitted anxiety issues, and tardiness became a problem as well. In sort, off the field, Braddock was a mess, so both sides agreed it was a good time for him to step away from baseball.
"There comes a time when you have to decide if a player is going to be able to help you at the big-league level," general manager Doug Melvin said at the time. "We had discussions about Zach and decided he probably wasn't going to be able to help us in the foreseeable future. Sometimes, you have to make decisions like that.
"We went through the proper channels, talked with his agent, Jeff Berry, and we were in agreement that this was the best thing for Zach. This gives him a chance to go somewhere else and have a change of scenery. Sometimes, that helps a player.
"We think this is the best thing for Zach and the organization at this time."
Braddock, whose velocity and command had diminished from previous seasons, was one of the final players cut in spring training, losing the role of left-handed reliever in the bullpen to Manny Parra.
Braddock showed great promise with the Brewers in 2010, posting a 2.94 ERA in 46 relief outings. But he struggled in 2011 while with the Brewers, going 0-1 with a 7.27 ERA in 25 appearances.
Braddock is a good kid who just got in over his head on the personal side. Here's hoping he has regained control of his life and is ready to play baseball again because he is a very talented pitcher.

I hope moving to the eastern time zone doesn't mess up his sleep schedule. (tongue firmly planted in cheek).
I thought John Lannan at 2.5 mil for one year was a pretty good deal.
Maybe he wasn't interested in pitching for the Brewers.Hide replies
the brewers would not gain anything by signing lannan. he started 6 games and pitched 32 innings last year.
What about his other chance(s) with the Orioles?
Maybe the guy really did need a change, but I'll tell you, this guy is more talented than the other lefties in the Brewers 'pen. Oh wait, the Brewers don't have any other lefties in the pen.
Nice point on Lannan. This is another guy that would seem to be a good Mke candidate. There have been a number of pitchers that have gotten deals that would definitely fit into the payroll. Anyone care to render a guess at what Doug is "lying in wait" for?Hide replies
I hope he's " he's lying in wait ", for any of the pitchers TH mentioned in Melvin's interview with Jim Bowden on ESPN.Any of them would be a vast improvement over what they have now.
Also I like to see Melvin sign Ryan Theriot for the bench.I know he's not great defensively but he's adequate and a decent hitter.
I like Theriot. He's be an upgrade to Bianchi and he's a great backup at 3B, SS and 2B.
Good thought BSBLFN.. Another guy I like is Adam Kennedy. Good at 2B-3B-1B and a lefty. Keep Bianchi and Gamel plus Theriot or Kennedy. If they are going to teach Gamel to play OF he then becomes the 5th outfielder behind Schafer plus the backup at 1B. Bianchi gives the Crew better defense at SS than Theriot, but either one of those two vets would be a great addition to the bench.
Melvin is waiting for all the big spending teams to get every player they need so he will not have to be bidding against any of them.
If he couldn't beat out Parra,..................
Melvin could have had Lannan for $2.5M which would have fit in with the Brewers needing a lefty. Salary was not out of line but looks like they are going to get the ''leftovers'' when spring training is over and grab a pitcher from the junk heap.Braddock getting signed shows if you are a lefty someone will give you a contract. Maybe Melvin can get Moyers to come back.Hide replies
But...he stinks.
The Crew would not benefit anything by signing Lannan, if he kept up his career numbers. He would be on a pitch count later in the season from only pitching 32.2 IP last year. The young starters we have would be better.
Braddock will probably be late for his 1st meeting with the Orioles and cut the next day. lazy and not too bright.Hide replies
He has a few screws loose.
MLB Rumors says the Brewers signed Geraldy Martinez a 17 year old outfield prospect from the the Dominican league.
6'3" 180 and runs the 60 in 6.7, a gap hitter with good power.Hide replies
I already posted that yesterday.
To follow up on our discussion in the previous thread, I have to question if you've actually looked at what the Royals starters outside of Shields have done.
Ervin Santana (Career) 7.12 K/9 2.90 BB/9 4.33/4.43/4.32
Ervin Santana (2012) 6.72 K/9 3.08 BB/9 5.16/5.63/4.48

Wade Davis (2012) Did Not Start
Do you really think our group behind Gallardo is that bad? If you think that, an Edwin Jackson and a couple RP isn't going to get the Brewers to the playoffs.
What is all this stuff about Lannan?
Dude is terrible.

Omaha firefighters responded to a report of a building collapse near 25th and Farnam Monday night. When they arrived, they found that part of a roof collapsed. It appears two people suffered minor injuries. One was transported by ambulance.
It happened at the International Food Mart on South 25th Street, between Farnam and Douglas St.
The owner of the building tells Channel 6 News that the worst of the injuries involve a few scratches. Our camera from atop the First National Tower a few blocks away showed the roof collapsed along the back side of the building.

RUEDA: Soccer coaches deserve honors
By Jim Rueda
Free Press Sports Editor
They've combined for more than 300 wins over the last 16 seasons and,
earlier this month at the Minnesota State High School Soccer Coaches
Association recognition banquet, Leonard Woelfel and Crissy Makela
received their due.
The Mankato West coaches were formally inducted into the MSHSSCA Hall
of Fame. Few would argue they are deserving of the honor. They built
their respective programs from scratch and have turned them into
perennial contenders for section titles and accompanying state
tournament berths.
Woelfel has a 178-53-29 record over 15 seasons at West while also
serving in many other capacities at various levels of soccer. Among
the hats he was worn are Mankato United Soccer Club president, MSHSSCA
board member, Section 2A boys representative, coaches clinic student
demonstrator co-coordinator, academic award co-coordinator and
all-tournament selection committee member. He also serves as a referee
at many matches during the fall and summer seasons.
I can tell you from watching him on the sidelines that Woelfel is a
taskmaster. He doesn't mince words if he thinks a player has made a
mistake, but he usually uses constructive criticism to make his point.
He's the kind of coach who gets the most out of his players.
Makela has garnered many of the same awards as Woelfel and has served
in many of the same positions. In 16 years at West, she has a record
of 130-144-20, which includes a lot of growing-pains seasons during
the early years.
She has been a section rep, organizer of clinic demonstrator, senior
classic host, all-tournament committee member, academic award
coordinator and board member of the MSHSSCA.
She has twice been named Section 2A coach of the year and last season
was selected at the National Soccer Coaches Association Minnesota
Girls Small School Coach of the Year.
From watching her during matches, it has become obvious that Makela's
primary method of coaching revolves around encouragement.
While she doesn't hesitate to correct flaws she may see in a player or
formation, she strives to do so in as positively as possible. Both she
and Woelfel stress team first and individuals second.
If you stay in coaching long enough you're bound to pile up a
significant amount of wins, but that has never been the goal of either
Woelfel or Makela. Teaching athletes the benefits of hard work,
determination, responsibility and the right way to do things have
always been their primary focus.
Hall of Fame membership is something that's simply given out, it's
earned. Over the past 15 to 16 years, Woelfel and Makela have done
just that.

Published on Brock University (http://brocku.ca)
As a bench scientist, I tend to naturally gravitate to numbers to describe things. So when asked to comment on what marks the past decade for the Faculty of Graduate Studies, I slip into data mode.
The statistics are very impressive.
When I arrived at Brock in 2001, there were about 600 students enrolled in 12 graduate programs. Since then, our programs have more than tripled. We now sit at 44 master's and doctoral programs in the six academic Faculties — Applied Health Sciences, Goodman School of Business, Education, Humanities, Mathematics and Science, and Social Sciences. As for enrolment, we've experienced dramatic growth on a similar scale. Today we have almost 1,700 graduate students, including an increasing number of international students from as many as 80 countries.
Centre of research and scholarship
The numbers reveal an equally impressive narrative about the expansion of graduate education as a driver in the University's recognition as a centre of research and scholarship.
Graduate students, under the guidance and mentorship of faculty supervisors, make valuable contributions to the University's research, scholarship and innovation capacity. Each year in April, the Mapping the New Knowledges Graduate Student Research conference showcases the scope and calibre of work that our students pursue as they create distinct identities as researchers and scholars. At the same time, we make it possible for students and faculty to collaborate across all disciplines.
The conference is characteristic of Brock's emerging graduate culture that sets us apart from larger institutions because of our size — not too big and not too small. We believe in giving students the best in personal attention, in access to facilities, resources as well as to a variety of experiences within a cross-disciplinary environment. And in today's world, we are particularly aware that our students need specific training and skills for success in professional fields as well as the necessary experience to become great researchers and scholars.
A vital part of the future
Our Faculty will continue to be a vital part of Brock's future. The University has clearly demonstrated its commitment to supporting the development of graduate studies as part of building world-class facilities to deepen our research culture and to expand educational and student life experiences. A few examples of this include:
And there is more to come. Future buildings and renovations will provide new space and research infrastructure for students in Business, and in new research areas. These "trans-disciplinary spaces" will capitalize on our collective strengths across our six Faculties. It will make it possible for our graduate community to intersect and engage with one another so that the full value of their ideas, knowledge and creativity can be felt in dynamic ways.
And so, our story will continue to develop as we move from one exciting decade to the next, connected by our commitment to excellence in our graduate experience.

Cumberland Times-News
I've been hearing many people since the horrific events in Connecticut say, "Drunk drivers kill people! Are we gonna take away cars?" As ridiculous and reactionary a statement that may be, here are some facts and ideas that relate to that analogy.
In the 1970s and 80s a lot of drunk drivers were killing lots of people. We did something; stricter speed limits, regulating the alcohol industry, busting down on underage drinkers, random stops and stiffer penalties.
Hasn't stopped drunk driving but the deaths from it have plummeted since the 1980s, even adding population rates to the equation.
The weapons used in these crimes (automobiles) are heavily regulated, licensed, registered and insured. You must have extensive training at a young age and be a certain age to understanding using one.
There's an entity of the state government regulating it in the manner of the MVA. The auto industry has regulations on the types of vehicles they can manufacture and sell.
You can't just walk into a dealership and buy a tank or test a vehicle that breaks the sound barrier. You can't buy an ocean liner and put it in a lake at a local park. That would be stupid and unnecessary, right?
None of these things exist with guns. Why?
There should be an age limit on gun ownership. When you reach the required age, you should go through extensive training on handling weapons.
You should have to go to your local gun version of the MVA (Weapons Regulation Administration?), get your operator's license, register each weapon and put a license on each weapon.
The license and registration should have to be renewed regularly. Each renewal should have a mental health/criminal background check.
You should have to show proof of at least liability insurance on each weapon insuring if you hurt or kill anyone, intentionally or accidentally, they or their survivors will be financially compensated for damages or losses inflicted by you!
Ammunition should be heavily regulated and limited. Those lacking registrations, license, training, insurance or having violations should be strictly punished with the removal of their weapons privileges.
Funds generated by fees collected from registrations, fines, etc. could be used for more DNR officers, more cops on the beat, security, weapons education and mental heath care services! The weapons industry would be unable to manufacture, sell or distribute any assault weapons or weapons made for warfare or their ammunition.
Current owners of such weapons may keep them, must register and license them and will no longer be permitted to buy ammo for them.
These principles are used for automobiles, why not for weapons? They would not violate, in any manner, anyone's Second Amendment rights.
Lastly, a complete overhaul of how we treat mental illness. A total change in the now common practice of easy and quick diagnosis, medicating and sending them off into a world they don't understand and are now having to deal with on drugs that are severely altering their already challenged reality.
Invest in taking the time to diagnose and treat with therapy, kindness and attention to detail, not just drugs. Have a comprehensive, cogent, easily available support system that is expedient and well funded.
These things will not stop crazy or just plain mean people from killing with guns. Like the DUI problems of the past, they will result in huge declines from gun violence in our culture.
We all have to make a bit of a sacrifice. We should all be expediently willing to compromise. It's worth it to prevent slaughtering elementary school children.

Posted Thursday, October 25, 2012 --- 12:51 p.m.
MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. (AP) -- Republican U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner has more than $280,000 in the bank for his latest re-election effort against token opposition.
Wisconsin's longest-tenured congressman has been in office since 1978. He's opposed by Democrat David Heaster, who hasn't mounted much of a campaign.
Sensenbrenner represents the 5th Congressional District, which covers Ozaukee and Washington counties, along with parts of Jefferson and Waukesha counties.
According to filings posted Thursday on the Federal Election Campaign's website, Sensenbrenner raised about $532,000 from January through last week. He has $283,000 cash on hand.
Websites for the FEC and the Center for Responsive Politics say there are no reports on record from Heaster. Candidates have until Thursday at 11:59 p.m. to turn in their fundraising numbers.
Heaster is an information-technology engineer with Kohler Co.

Clarkstown Highway Superintendent Wayne Ballard announced today he hired Frank Sparaco, a Rockland County legislator, as the department's new part-time constituent services assistant.
Sparaco started working Monday in the $75,000 a year position. The 25-hour a week position does not include benefits: medical, or vacation or sick days. As a legislator, Sparaco receives medical benefits.
In a statement prepared for tonight's Town Board meeting, Ballard noted the position was advertised by the Personnel Department for six weeks and drew more than 260 resumes. Ballard said Rockland County residents were given preference. Sparaco of Valley Cottage has experience as a constituent services assistant having worked with the New York State Assembly Minority Conference for the Mid-Hudson Region for about a year.
Ballard said the position requires Sparaco to work nights, weekends and holidays if there is inclement weather and emergency situations. If more than 25 hours are worked in a week, then hours will be reduced the following week. He said there would not be any overtime pay.
"If there's a snowstorm that comes in on the weekend that person has to come in on the weekend," explained Ballard. "It's weather sensitive."
The job comes with a built-in risk. If Ballard loses re-election when he runs again, Sparaco could be out of a job.
"It's a political appointment," said Sparaco.
Previously, Ballard told the town board about the need for someone to respond to constituent requests, which have increased from about 5,000 in 2010 to approximately 7,000 at the end of 2011.
Sparaco said his decision about the position was not immediate.
"I thought hard and seriously about it," he said.
What attracted him was the opportunity to help people who have problems with roads, drainage or other issues.
"I'll literally now be able to get a lot of good things done for the people of Clarkstown," said Sparaco. "That was really, really appealing to me."

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Worst Oscar Show Ever?
Everyone complains about the Oscar telecast, but this year someone is doing something about it.
And that's the problem.
Early reports about the show, airing Feb. 22, have been causing people to wonder - will this be the worst Oscar show ever?
Really? Could it be any worse, than Rob Lowe's infamous duet with Snow White from the 1989 show?
Watch that sequence below.
But the details leaking out about this year's show make you wonder what's in store, and how long the often glacially paced ceremony will last. Here are a few warning signs:
1) This year's host Hugh Jackman is a song and dance man - he won a Tony Award in 2004 for "The Boy From Oz," and has hosted several Tony broadcasts; and Oscar producers Bill Condon and Laurence Mark directed and produced, respectively, the musical "Dreamgirls."
Does this mean the show will be stuffed with the sort of irrelevant production numbers that add nothing but length?
2) While typically the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences issues a press release or two a day about the most trivial stuff, this year no information on award presenters is being provided to add to the show's suspense. And the fact that to maintain that suspense, certain presenters may not walk the red carpet has alarmed fashion and celebrity chroniclers.
3) And what does it mean that the show will be paced to develop a "narrative" of its own?
4) Other tidbits in play. WIll Queen Latifah sing over the memorial montage of performers who have died in the last year? And why won't Peter Gabriel appear to sing his nominated song from "WALL*E?"
Many sources are bloggier than thou (me) on this topic - including Anne Thompson, InContention, an all Oscar roundup site, and Spout..
But please check here, for continuing Oscar coverage all next week.
And now, a little traveling music.
Rob Lowe and Snow White

For the Times West Virginian
There is some dispute over when — and where — man began using fire, some claiming it was discovered as long ago as 790,000 years at the Lower Paleolithic site of Gesher Benot Ya'aqov in Israel.
Perhaps because that is disputed by some has kept it from becoming a vacation destination.
What is known, however, is that shortly after the discovery of fire and the fact that it could turn a raw dinosaur steak into a near delicacy, the first Burger King opened and offered flame-broiled Tyrannosaurus Whoppers, which were big enough you didn't need to order a double.
From there, of course, the uses for fire spread.
"The discovery of fire, or, more precisely, the controlled use of fire was, of necessity, one of the earliest of human discoveries. Fire's purposes are multiple, some of which are to add light and heat, to cook plants and animals, to clear forests for planting, to heat-treat stone for making stone tools, to burn clay for ceramic objects," began an article on the subject on the website Archaeology.about.com.
Note, please, that nowhere does it mention using fire to celebrate football victories, especially not when you are burning such items as automobiles, houses, perhaps little children and their pets while pelting the fire and police with bricks, rocks and bottles.
But couch fires and football victories have long been a Morgantown tradition, much to the chagrin of anyone not wearing a fraternity beany or having even an inkling of common sense. This sophomoric behavior — often fittingly being performed by a college sophomore — damages both property and reputation.
This was made obvious earlier this year when the University of Kentucky celebrated its NCAA victory over Baylor by setting 12 sofas aflame, even more than WVU students were to do just four months later after defeating the very same Baylor in football.
Out of that grew an article on Kentucky.com that was entitled: WVU takes credit for couch-burning craze that has caught fire at UK, other campuses. Clearly, that kind of publicity makes the city fathers and the WVU hierarchy hot under the collar.
Efforts have been made to make the fire bug extinct in Morgantown. Just last year the city enacted legislation making couch fires a felony, Class A if someone happened to be sitting in the couch at the time.
According to the Kentucky.com article, the burning of couches (and Dumpsters) in Morgantown went back to a time when residential trash pickup wasn't enforced.
"In student neighborhoods where the population comes and goes, trash piled up. Burning it provided both a celebration and a service," it said.
It also went on to note that such trash burning is what criminologists call the "routine activity theory."
Basically, something like setting fire to a couch becomes just something people do when there is no "capable guardian" around to say, 'Wait, let's think this through.' (The availability of alcohol doesn't hurt.)," the article said.
Nowhere in the article, or anywhere else, does it offer an explanation for putting the emergency service people, police and fire, into danger of physical harm or even death from thrown objects. This isn't drunken mayhem. At this point it has progressed into criminal assault and the police would have every right to draw weapons and return fire — a carefully chosen word here — in response.
As Saturday night this past week burned into Sunday morning and some sanity returned, it became obvious that something had to be done to put an end to this tradition, and there was no shortage of people willing to speak to the matter from the Morgantown mayor to the police chief and fire chief and even to Jim Clements, the WVU president, who conveniently had his "State of the University Address" scheduled later in the week.
"We will take a very hard line on this kind of behavior," Clements said in that address.
He called the behavior of the students who rioted in the aftermath of WVU's road victory over Texas "disgraceful and shameful" and promised swift disciplinary action against those responsible.
"I am angry and I am frustrated at the behavior of some of our students and others after the game," Clements said. "The worst of the post-game behavior Saturday night was unacceptable, dangerous and inexcusable.
"We cannot and will not tolerate it," he said.
Quickly, Mayor Jim Manilla proposed a $20-per-semester fee to fund additional police and firefighters, but in truth they will not be necessary if the university has a strong reaction to what has taken place and if the city doesn't crack down in some way on enforcing the laws already on the books about underage drinking, overserving, overcrowding and drunken behavior on its streets.
It must be a combined effort and it must be done quickly, for on Oct. 20 Kansas State comes to Morgantown to face WVU in a night game that could produce the biggest victory of the season for the Mountaineers.

LEAGUE CITY — To protect and to serve doesn't just mean showing up once there is trouble. For League City's police department, it also means working with day care centers to make their buildings safer. The idea is to try to prevent an attacker from entering the building.
Police Chief Michael Kramm told the city council last month that the department was ready and willing to sit down with day care centers to pass on advice on how to make their facilities safer.
Adcock said the department can talk to day care centers about "the things they can do to beef up their security."
