Georgia Chancellor Hank Huckaby spoke in opposition today to House Bill 512, which would comprehensively sweep away most restrictions on carrying firearms in Georgia, including on college campuses, on public school grounds and in churches.
Contrary to other states where the debate has shifted to restricting guns in the wake of the Newtown school massacre, many of two dozen gun bills filed in the Georgia Legislature aim to expand firearms access and reach.
Many educational leaders are concerned with bills allowing guns in schools and on campuses.
Here is Huckaby's official statement from today's hearing on HB 512:
I appear before you today as the chancellor of the University System of Georgia – a system of 31 institutions with 314,000 students and over 40,000 faculty and staff members. But I am also a father, and grandfather. I am a gun owner with many lifelong friends who are gun owners and hunters. Like many of you, therefore, I have experience with guns, and kids, and grandkids.
Guns do not frighten me and I do not demonize them, or their owners. I believe in the Second Amendment.
But in the matter before us, I realize and acknowledge that you may see this issue very differently than me. In my position I believe strongly that allowing our students to carry weapons on our campuses will not increase their personal safety but instead reduce it.
I have spent a significant part of my career working on college campuses. I have served in the administrations at both smaller institutions and this state's flagship. I can tell you I have seen it all while there, and my experience tells me that for our students and the availability of guns will not increase their safety.
Each of the police chiefs of our campuses agree with me. They are charged with keeping the public safety on our campuses, and they will tell you allowing students to have weapons on campus make their jobs harder, not easier; more dangerous, not safer.
Our campus counselors will likely tell you the same thing. The reality of our modern campuses is we have students who come to us with a variety of personal issues, which create stress; they are on medications.
Many develop issues after coming to our campuses. I am not suggesting that every student is a ticking time bomb – far from it. I am suggesting that adding loaded weapons to an already potentially volatile mix of youthful exuberance, stress, and yes, at times alcohol and other factors, could lead to a tragedy of our own making that we could otherwise avoid.
Georgia law already goes further than many states that have passed concealed carry laws. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, in 23 states the decision to ban or allow concealed carry weapons on campuses is made by each college or university individually – and from the calls we have made, the states are consistent in implementing policy which keeps guns in the hands of only their law enforcement. In Georgia, we permit a concealed carry holder to keep their weapon locked in their car – which the Supreme Court considers an extension of one's domicile.
To those of you who believe strongly in this bill, I say I respect your views, and your right to hold them. You deal with very few simple issues, and I understand that. I am confident that you are motivated, as I am, by a desire to ensure that our campuses are as safe as we can possibly make them.
I am not sure there is anything I can say to you today to convince you that the provisions in this bill will be detrimental to campus safety. So let me conclude by saying unequivocally the Board of Regents, my administration, our 31 Presidents and their campus security chiefs all believe current law makes our campuses safe, and I sincerely plead that you keep it in place.

Mass killings seem to occur primarily in schools, universities, and churches. All 3 of them are typically "gun free zones". But of course there is NO CORRELATION between the two…..NONE!!

Interesting that the Georgia legislature is considering more gun bills than ones related to improving education.
As an RA, nothing would have worried me more than wondering if some impaired dorm rat had a weapon. Keeping college campuses gun free zones my not stop the freakish terror of a mass killing, but they will keep schools from turning into the OK corral.

Democracy is too tiring. At the rate we are going, let's just take guns everyone regardless of the venue. That would be a true embracing of our second amendment rights. I believe the Christian Bible shares that living by the sword will cause death by the sword. We really have it coming as a state and nation if we do not make balanced decisions about gun rights. The zealots are taking this issue too far without regard for what is in the best interest of all, especially our children.

College officials don't like to admit it but there is a great deal of drinking going on at frat parties, etc. Guns and alcohol don't mix. Of course there would be fewer armed robberies if the students were armed. But there will be more shot in drunken revelry. What's needed is more police presence working on crime prevention.

The only person in the State that has some intelligence on this issue. GA's economy, public policy, schools…. etc are 200 years out of date from the rest of the country. The rest of the world looks at us and think we are a bunch of ignorant rednecks…I certainly can see why.

Nothing like putting guns in the hands of a bunch of immature, hot headed college kids to improve safety!!! While other states are trying to find ways to limit guns in the hands of kids and lunatics, our legislators want to make our state the wild, wild west. Why do we keep electing these same idiots to office over and over again? The legislature has cut billions of dollars from public education in the last 10 years in a state that is already at the bottom of the heap in terms of educational attainment, but their answer to improving education is to arm 18 year olds. God help us!

The presence of unregulated guns should be met with resistance everywhere. On average guns killed 88 Americans and injured 202 each day during 2011 (N Engl J Med 2013:368:397-399). When available, it is estimated that firearm homicides and suicides in 2012 will exceed motor vehicle fatalities – mostly college age males. With less than 5 percent of the world's population, we now own 40 percent of all firearms in civilian hands. (N Engl J Med 2013:368:397-399) Are they WELL REGULATED as prescribed by the Second Amendment? Obviously not. Gun owners are statistically, significantly more likely to commit murder and to eventually commit suicide (Univ Penn LDI Issue Brief 2003;8(8), 1-4). If guns cause more human damage than automobiles then funds of equivalent amounts should be devoted to registration of each weapon, licensure on one's birthday, a psychological screening test (MMPI), a practical operation test, and a written test of the weapons laws. Prior behavior predicts the likelihood of committing gun violence. Federal law prohibits felons and those convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence from possession of a firearm, but it allows those convicted of assault and battery, brandishing a weapon, and those making open threats of violence (New York Times, 2/24/2013). That must be corrected. Federal law prohibits purchase by an abuser of controlled substances but allows alcohol abusers to purchase guns. That must be corrected. Where else is more alcohol consumed, than by college students?

I Say, Let them BRING THEIR GUNS ON CAMPUS! Allow these students to ARM themselves to the TEETH! Allow them to bring as much Fire Power and High Velocity Piercing ammunition as they can carry.
On the Day of Mass Destruction of the INNOCENTS, Stand BY's, and the senseless Collateral Damage of those enroute to class or home or to the Library. Then and only then will we see the UNWISESNESS of such a LEGISLATION.
Unfortunately, those who will be caught in such Mindless Madness are among US Now. They are undiscovered, hidden and remotely considered. Its cause will be born from an array of social ills. The Dead, will have no recourse, no trial, no inquest, no inquiry, No right to a fair trial and most of ALL NO APPEAL of any kind. They will only suffer the fate of the depths of the PIT with Eternal Darkness being their Future.
As for those of us who were lucky enough to avoid such carnage, will move on quietly with their lives with very little time of reflection or real concern.
The families, Parents, Brothers, Sisters of the deceased will be haunted with the questions of WHY?
They are the one's who will be left to carry this BURDEN on BEHALF of ALL of US.
Parents take a look into your child's eys tonight! Look deeply and think!
Are you prepared to give up their futures, their Lives at the hands of a Mentally ill individual, who have been given the RIGHT to bring such DEATH & DESTRUCTION to your Doorstep?
This decision will more than likely and with a high probability to bring such an ACT to some unlucky families among US as a result of its passage. We still have time to say NO! This is NOT WISE!
Those among US who introduced House Bill 512, have not seriously considered the true WISDOM of their Legislation and the potenial Pain that it will bring on many families. These Individual legislators assume callously they or their family members will not fall victim to such an heinous act as result of their introduction.
As for ME, I hope and pray that it is not a member of MY Family, that will get the DREADFUL news of THAT DAY! as a result of their ARROGANT IGNORANCE!

Only if Georgia legislators allow guns in all areas in the Gold dome. To quote our spineless shady dealing (term loosely used) Governor ""I guess its ok.""
we do not need more useless unenforced laws, enforce the ones we have. I agree the police need to work more on crime prevention and less on writing TICKETS.
Georgia needs better Education for our children, they deserve better than 48th place in education.

While I believe in the a person having a right to defend him or herself, I don't think colleg campuses are generally the place for it. There is A LOT of drinking on college campuses and I feel that adding guns into the mix just amps up the probability that someone will get shot. I am not naive and I know that some kids probably already have them, but the truth is they are less likely to pull them out if they know they aren't suppose to have them whereas if everyone is allowed one what do you think the first action will be. You all know that if a person believes they are in danger and have a weapon, then they will pull theirs and shoot. This means that now everyone is on a hair trigger anticipating the need to pull their weapon in any and all confrontational situations. College kids do monumentally stupid stuff al the time (alcohol enemas anyone (sp?))….now add about 10 to 15 loaded guns to it.

My daughter was at NIU during their mass shooting. The lunatic had time to stop, reload, and kill more innocent kids, because no one could take him out. One of her friends died while shielding his girlfriend. One student or prof with a gun would've saved many kids lives that day.
It completely amaze me that the same folks who scream about protecting a right that had to be "found" in the constitution (privacy) and leads to the death of millions a year, turn around and want to kill a right that is clearly in the constitution that at worst leads to a few thousand deaths, and likely nets out to positive by allowing people to protect themselves. Total and complete hypocrites

If they have a conceal carry permit they should understand that alcohol is not allowed while carrying. I would not recommend a dorm dweller to be able to keep is weapon at the dorm unless some kind of security system could be established to keep it very safe when it is out of his site. Conceal carry on campus could be a good thing if done properly. If the person has mental health issues he should not have a conceal carry permit anyway. That should be reported and his permit revoked until it is deamed the person is mentally sound. They are right to be cautious, but it could serve them well if implemented properly.

It's like how they shouldn't allow guns in airports. An accidental discharge of a gun in the public area of an airport, where fuel and planes are just a few hundred yards away, is the worst example of irresponsibility I can think of. People with guns are idiots. Guns just go off sometimes. Idiots with guns increase the probability of a gun just going off around all that fuel by a factor of a quadrillion. College students at spring break. Imagine college girls gone wild with their two .38s on spring break. Then imagine those same babes pulling out a gun. No, the likelihood of getting pistol whipped on the beach at midnight during a beer bong party is just too great. We just can't risk it.
It's like when women invented the sports bra by sewing two jock straps together (true). Where was the supervision? It wasn't there then, and it most certainly is not there now. And we're gonna give unsupervised college girls gone wild guns?
I don't think so. I mean come on. Sometimes I wonder if the founding fathers every met college girls.
March 4th, 2013
9:44 pm
Can't speak for everyone, but as a graduate student who teaches three classes at Georgia State, I say leave the guns at home. The human brain's ability to assess risk and think long-term isn't fully formed until around age 25, and we have many students under age 25.
I personally would rather live in a civil society than the Wild, Wild West. Part of that means ceding some–*some*, not *all*–responsibility for our personal safety to the police. That's why we have them.
March 4th, 2013
9:51 pm
Nothing says big publicity like a mass shooting, and the best way to insure one happens is to make sure you create the kind of environment in which a shooter knows he/she will face no opposition shooters. Gun-free zones do exactly that. Every human being deserves the right to protect their own life. Government does not have the right to take that away from anyone.

Allowing guns doesn't mean students will in fact go out and buy guns. Most do not care for guns. Those who want to allow guns on campus are but a small minority of students.
If only the pro-gun people cared about tight college budgets as much as they did allowing guns on campus.

I love how everyone brings up Chicago whenever there is a gun debate. Yes there are shootings here, but I've never been the victim of any crime here. Whereas in Atlanta, I was robbed, my car was stolen, and I was the victim of a hit and run. Try looking beyond the headlines when it comes Chicago and gun violence, it's really a lovely and safe city.

A few years ago, the CDC reported that in an armed confrontation with a criminal you were more likely to be killed if you displayed a gun. "Proecting yourself" under these circumstances is a fantasy. Why would we want students to get themselves killed? Or worse, George Zimmerman themselves? Guns are not toys and trouble follows them everywhere.

All the doom and gloom folks seem to be missing one important fact:
There are several states in the USA where college students, faculty, and visitors who are legally allowed to carry gun can do so.
And they don't have all the problems that being forecast by the people who are afraid of guns.
In fact, none of those states has had a mass shooting at a school either.
One clever poster mentioned that he was an RA and that he would be afraid of dorm rats with guns. But if a dorm rat really wanted to do harm, would a sign on the door or another law stop them? The only people that these laws inconvenience are the law abiding, because by definition, they are the only ones that will refuse to carry in places where it's illegal. The criminals will do whatever they want regardless of the law, that's the very definition of a criminal.
My daughter goes to a school in a state where carry by honest, law abiding people on a college campus is not illegal. If I thought it was a problem, and it's not, she wouldn't be going there. But the reality is that her school is safer than Georgia Tech.

The unfortunate truth of the gun control debate is something that no one wants to hear, and no politician on either side will ever admit: there is no perfect solution.
If law-abiding citizens are not allowed to own and/or carry guns, they become sitting ducks, especially on campuses and in churches. Bad people will still find ways to get guns, and they will be even more bold because they can be reasonably sure that their victims are unarmed.
If people have unrestricted access to guns and are free to carry them everywhere, there will be more accidental shootings and violent escalation of conflicts.
It seems to me that both sides of this debate are being unrealistic in how they present the issue to the public. They want us to believe that, if we agree with them and help them push their agenda, all the gun-related crime in this country will stop. I think it's time for people to grow up and admit that neither side can actually deliver that kind of peace, and every possible 'solution' has some sort of cost attached.

If there wasn't going to ever be any controversy to the issue, the Founding Fathers wouldn't have needed to enshrine the RIGHT in the Bill of Rights.
And to you morons that talk about the Second Amendment only relating to people in "a well regulated militia" I ask you this;
Read this paragraph;
"A well-regulated educational system being necessary for the enlightenment of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear books shall not be infringed."
Does this mean to you that only people attending school have the right to own books? If you say yes you are delusional and beyond reason.

I work on a college campus. I have lost count of the number of students and parents who come to us in every disrespectful and belligerent manner, I have had students and parents, not only curse me in the most vile manner to those who curse and attempt to get behind our serving area. When it gets out of hand, we have someone in the back offices to call campus police and try not to engage the student until the police arrive. Up until now, when the offenders see the officers with the gun at their sides, they quiet down. Now imagine that we have a student and, maybe, a parent and they are packing heat, The would not respect the police officer's presence because they are just as armed as they are. Do we have to experience students and/parents shooting college personnel for someone to realize that guns on campus is a terrible idea? Today, a parent cursed me on the phone as if he knows me…downright disrespectful, rude and mean. What would have happened if he were in front of me with a gun? These students and parents do not care. If you are unable to give them what they want because of federal laws or the institutions policies, the worse come out of them.
This law makes all of us nervous. But trust and believe that going forward, I will cease any interaction with a student who begins to show out. He/She will have to wait until there are at least two police officers in my presence. The job is not work an idiot trying to take my life for something that is almost always their fault.
I won't even address the need for firearms in CHURCH? Come one…our legislators are DUMB!! Not trying to wish bad on anyone, but maybe this law needs to backfire on one in their family to understand how ridiculous they were!

Student who qualify for a conceal/carry permit should be allow to conceal and carry.
It is not a requirement that Frat parties where drinking is going to occur will have gun-fights. Ummm, you know girls can conceal/carry too.
Then they can stay that, that is not a banana in my pocket.
Colleges do not ban sports cars or college football. There is a higher probablity that a college aged person will die or get injured in an car accident than a college shooting. There is also a higher probablility that a college football player will get injured that get shot.
Some people who attend college have been known to use illegal drugs. Banning illegal drug use has been an exercise in futility.
If some folks want to ban somthing, how about banning the situations that lead to these kinds of problems? Now thats not so easy you might say.
Ban Bullying! Teach self respect. Learn to deal with mental and emotional problems in people. If someone obvously need help, SAY something!

I had a student "go off" in class two weeks ago. He is a young veteran with PTSD who is not having the easiest time getting reacclimated to civilian life. He is impulsive and wears his emotions on his sleeve. But he is also bright and articulate. To many observers he might look like someone to keep an eye on. As for me, I'm more worried about the students who have almost nothing to say in class and don't seem to have any emotions.
But whether we are talking about veterans with issues or loners with issues, I sure hope we don't allow them to bring guns into the classroom. They can already bring them on campus. And as others have pointed out, if the State Capitol is off limits as far as the Second Amendment is concerned, then so should be a lot of other places.

As a retired professor at a state school …. do not allow guns on campus. Teachers are at the front of the room and make great targets. As to comments om 19 year olds being in the military …. except in war zones their weapons are kept locked up in arms rooms and are only carried while on training.
March 5th, 2013

Huckaby doesn't address the obvious. Having a rule that prohibits students from having guns from campuses does not really prevent students or anyone else from having a gun on campus. These troubled students he is talking about, the ones on meds, can easily have a gun with them without regard to the rules.
March 5th, 2013
7:28 am
to PET: There may be no "law" directly relating to alcohol and concealed carry, but if you get caught driving while intoxicated and you are carrying, your concealed carry permit can be suspended. Same with getting caught intoxicated in an altercation and you are carrying concealed. The weapon does not need to be drawn, you put your concealed carry permit at risk. In most states, firearms are not permitted in drinking establishments. So no, there are no "laws" but there are consequences for carrying while intoxicated.
to everyone else: If someone is unbalanced enough to commit a mass shooting whether it's a student with PTSD or just the "quiet" student, THEY WILL GET A FIREARM ANYWAY! You can take guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens, but you will never be able to control guns in the hands of criminals or anyone who is hell bent on causing harm to others. There are students who have grown up handling guns their entire lives and know and respect what they can do. Why limit their ability to defend themselves? Anyone who does not believe that firearms are already on college campuses is delusional. Do you think that drug dealers and gang bangers care about concealed carry permits? And yet they carry concealed anyway.

Chancellor all the laws in the world will not keep a crazy person from carring a gun on campus and killing many people. What you want is to make all the other students sitting ducks!! As long as students with legal permits are not allowed to bring their guns on campus, the campus will always be open season for crazies. Because even crazy people do not want to shoot up somewhere that might shoot back. Chancellor you are putting thousands of innocent people at risk!

There is not a right or wrong answer to this one unfortunately. My child was at Virginia Tech and in class at the time Cho went on his rampage. Would armed students have minimized the loss of life? Hard to say, perhaps if the ROTC students had been armed maybe. Perhaps that tragedy never would have happened had the University been allowed to be made aware of his mental issues that stemed back to middle school.
The reality on a college campus is there is alot of drinking, drug use and pressure. Some handle it better than others and a perfectly normal kid could snap.

When I was at UGA, my girlfriend (later my wife) was having problems with an ex-boyfriend, who was threatening to kill her and then kill himself. We were looking seriously at getting a gun for her (she lived in a dorm). I lived off-campus and I had a gun for protection.
What is needed is a better system to ensure that guns do not end up in the hands of the wrong people. I have no qualms about guns in the hands of sane, rational, well-trained people.
March 5th, 2013
7:54 am
"The reality on a college campus is there is alot of drinking, drug use and pressure"
There CANNOT be a lot of drinking on campus! Most of the college students are not old enough to drink, and AS WE ALL KNOW, when you create a law, it immediately results in 100% compliance. That is why nobody has to fear anyone coming onto campus with a gun – there is a law against that, and laws are never broken. It is just like guns are never brought onto the Grady High School campus. That is becasue if a gun ever WAS brought onto that campus, the perpetrator would be immediately arrested, denied bond, and tried and sentenced to 10 years in jail (hysterical laughter follows…)

- DisappointedDisappointedVIPDined on 8/21/2014Loved Kona Grill in the past. This time there were fruit flies buzzing around our table the entire time. They moved us but, the flies came, too. There was a big in our soup as well. The manager was awesome - he apologized and deducted money from our final bill. Still, not the experience we had come accustomed to. Not sure if we will return - so disappointing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeLove2dineDined on 8/15/2014I have been here few times and every time the food was awesome. Staff is great and very friendly. Recommend it to everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- too, too loud!grendelVIPDined on 8/14/2014I realize that the sound of high-pitched laughter, babies crying, and loud toasts from a table of 12, is a sign of a popular restaurant. My husband and I, seated in a booth, had to scream in order to carry on any kind of conversation. We finally gave up. The food was ok. The potstickers were too crispy for my taste, the salad was drenched in dressing--my chicken entree was fine. Our server was excellent, but there was nothing to do done about the noise and confusion and chaotic nature of the restaurant. We won't be back. Oh yes, my husband's sushi was outstanding. Maybe sushi is the way to go at Kona Grill. If you can stand the noise!Special Features:
- Great food/service as alwaysMalloryDined on 8/12/2014Overall great experience. The macadamia nut chicken is the best! We were a little disappointed that they were out of the sea bass but the salmon was a delicious substitute.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Need a new hostessrickDined on 8/12/2014Dinner was amazing. Server was excellent. The only thing was the host who sat us down looked very unpleasant, unhappy, and did not say one word to us such as "come this way" or anything when we even sat down. She was very awkward and started the dinner out not positive especially since it was the first dining experience for two of my friends. Luckily we got an awesome server which made the experience better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/8/2014Great sushi, loved the angry edamame and the cucumber salad too. Service from Lisa was exceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Kona USED TO BE GoodRadiantRachelDined on 8/7/2014Everyone came out in an excited mood for a good night and everyone left unhappy because the service was terrible. 45 minutes to get our first drinks, including water, the alcoholic drinks were watered down and it was an hour and a half to get food.Special Features:
- Another good lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/6/2014Continually come for lunch as we love the food and today was no exception. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Food was a bit slow in coming which was not normal but excellent when it did.Special Features:
- Loud, but greatbilllikestoeatDined on 8/5/2014We visited Kona Grill for a family celebration, the food was awesome, the waitress and manager were very attentive to our needs, and it was a wonderful evening. The noise level made visiting with each other a bit difficult. We had a child with us, and were delightfully surprised at the care and attention that went into her food preparation, including sculpting an orange into an animal shape. We were a little surprised at the crowd for a Tuesday night, which made parking for some in our party problematic.Special Features:

- Fav for the SushiDinerGalourDined on 7/24/2014Love the Sushi cut @ Kona & the Volcano "roll", though not as spicy as noted, was superb. The down side... Way too noisy. Fun place for bar life & large groups, but if you're hoping for table conversation, forget it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- vosselerDined on 7/24/2014The noise level is positively unreal. I really do not know how people can go there and expect to carry on a meaningful conversationl. I would never go there on a business luncheon nor would I ever take friends there for dinner if conversation were to be a part of the evening. It turns out to be a shouting match.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The 25 Best Films of 2013 in 11 Minutes
Ain't nobody got time to go to the movies. So it's a good thing David Ehrlich has you covered. This 11-minute montage for Film.com counts down the 25 best films of 2013. This year's roundup includes blockbusters like The Bling Ring and The Great Gatsby, Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine and even films yet to be released like Wolf of Wall Street. Ehrlich created similar movie mashups in 2011 and 2012.

Monday night's edition of The Voice saw the first of the knockout rounds, with Joselyn Rivera , Joe Kirkland , Amanda Brown , Lauren Allred , Melanie Martinez , Cody Belew , MacKenzie Bourg , Trevin Hunte , Nicholas David and Diego Val advancing to the live sing-offs.
Contestants from teams coached by Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green were featured in pairs, each singing songs of their own choice. Each judge made his choice to keep one singer and send the other home.
Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton were on hand to make comments. Contestants representing their teams will perform in a similar fashion Tuesday. Only five contestants from each team will make it to the live sing-offs.
Here's how Monday's knockouts went down:
Team Adam
--Joselyn Rivera performed "Love on Top" by Beyonce and Kayla Nevarez sang VV Brown 's "Shark in the Water." Blake thought Joselyn had the edge in the sing-off, and Cee Lo agreed. Adam said the girls were two of the best singers in the country, but he picked Joselyn to advance, sending Kayla home.
--Joe Kirkland chose to sing Taylor Swift 's "Mean" and Bryan Keith went with Bryan Adams ' "Everything I Do (I Do It for You)." Blake thought Joe was "cool," while Christina thought Bryan handled the vocal well. Adam thought Joe killed it and that Bryan got better as he went along. In the end, Joe stays with Team Adam and Bryan goes home.
--Amanda Browne performed Grace Potter & the Nocturnal 's "Paris (Ooh La La)." Michelle Brookes-Thompson sang Jennifer Hudson 's "Spotlight." Blake thought Michelle "kicked the door in." Christina called it a "singers' battle." Adam thought he would be a better coach for Amanda, so he advanced her. It was the end of the road for Michelle.
--Loren Allred chose the Amy Winehouse song "You Know I'm No Good." Nicole Nelson decided on "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys . Blake thought he saw a star born in Loren. Cee Lo loved Nicole's "alive and vibrant voice." Adam had a tough choice but decided to advance Loren, sending Nicole home.
--Melanie Martinez chose to sing "Bulletproof" by La Roux . Sam James sang "Walking in Memphis," by Marc Cohn . Christina thought Melanie was "haunting." Adam's final decision was to take Melanie forward with him on his team, saying goodbye to Sam.
Team Cee Lo
-- Avery Wilson performed Chris Brown 's "Yeah 3x" while Cody Belew took on Dolly Parton 's "Jolene." Adam though that this performance was not Avery's best. Blake agreed that Cody had the better of the contest. Cee Lo decided he would keep Cody on his team for the live shows, letting Avery go.
--MacKenzie Bourg chose to sing "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen . Daniel Rosa went with Taylor Swift 's "Back to December." Adam liked Daniels' newly-found confidence. Blake called MacKenzie "an artist." Cee Lo liked both guys but chose Mackenzie to advance. Daniel leaves the show.
-- Terisa Griffin , who was performing with a broken ankle, sang "Saving All My Love for You" by Whitney Houston . Trevin Hunte went with Phil Collins ' "Against All Odds." Blake thought Trevin has room to grow. Christina agreed and believed in his talent. It was an easier choice for Cee Lo to pick Trevin over Terisa.
-- Michael Wassman picked Elton John 's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me," while Nicholas David went with "Put Your Records On," by Corinne Baily Rae . Christina thought it was a tough decision but felt Michael connected with the audience. Cee Lo thought Nicholas had the more natural talent and chose to advance him, sending Michael home.
-- Caitlin Michele sang Evanescence 's "Bring Me to Life." Diego Val performed "Are You Gonna Go My Way," by Lenny Kravitz . Adam thought Caitlin's song choice was just right. Cee Lo opted to keep Diego on his team for the live rounds, meaning an early exit for Caitlin.
The Voice returns to NBC on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time.

- Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4, and line the base and sides of a deep 20cm (8 inch) loose-bottomed cake tin with baking parchment. For the crumble topping stir together 2 tbsp each of the sugar, flour and chopped pecans, then add the butter, cut into a few pieces, and rub together until you have sticky crumbs. Set aside.
- Break up the whole eggs with a fork, then mix with the mashed banana, oil and milk until all the wet ingredients are well combined. In a separate, large bowl tip in the remaining sugar, flour and pecans, and briefly stir with the cinnamon and baking powder. Whisk the egg whites until just stiff. To combine, tip the oily banana mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and quickly stir in until you have a smooth, lump-free mix. Finally using a large metal spoon or spatula gently fold in the egg whites, then carefully pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Scatter over the crumble topping and bake for 1 hr, until a skewer stuck in to the middle comes out clean. Check the cake with 15 mins to go, if the surface is browning too quickly cover with another piece of baking parchment.
- Once the cake is ready leave it in its tin for 5 minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack.

Comments, questions and tips
I have made this many times and it is delicious every time. Fiddly to make but well worth it. I have substituted the pecans for walnuts/almonds successfully but make sure to use very ripe bananas (with black spots) - I made it once with bananas without black spots and it didn't turn out nearly as nice.
A very delicious cake recipe, will definitely be coming back to this when i have some brown bananas! Wasn't sure what the crumble would add but it's just lovely. Took about an hour to cook, my only comment would be that there was a huge amount of mixture, so I needed a bigger tin. That's a good thing though really - means more to eat!
wow its super delicious thanks for sharing this awesome recipe, my family loved it. . . . i cooked before dinner time & it served our dessert, next time i'll do it again i have to adjust the oil. i use an organic wheat flour instead of the white flour cause im fond of organic ingredients specially its banana. thanks bbcgoodfood more power!
I have just made this for the honeymoon couple arriving to stay in our holiday cottages this afternoon (rather unromantically we had four black banana to use up!) but the cake has turned out beautifully, and has already been sampled and approved by everyone here!
Thank you. i can see it becoming one of our Tom's Barn favourites.
We had run out of pecans so used almonds, which tastes great. I also made it in a larger rectangular small tray bake type tray, so it cooked more quickly and is easier to cut up.
This cake is delicious. I used light brown sugar as didn't have any caster and it still was lovely.
I didn't use the pecan topping, but instead added a vanilla cream cheese icing which worked really well with it. I also added chocolate chips through the cake mixture which melted when baked which was delicious!
This is such a delicious cake and just gets better as the days go by. I thought I had my favourite banana cake recipe but this one is now my favourite.
The only thing I would say is the quantities for the crumble seem off, I needed more flour otherwise it would've just been a melted butter topping, I added oats the second time I made it so we'll see how that goes.
Excellent cake - made it for the first time yesterday and it came out really well. Nice and moist and not too heavy. Just left it in the oven 5 mins extra. Didn't have any cinnamon so it was perhaps lacking a certain something but didn't get any complaints from my friends when they tried it! Think I'll be making this one again!!
This cake is the best banana cake ever. My boyfriend said it took him back to his childhood days reminding him of his nan's bread pudding. My sons asked me to bake it again so they could have a slice in their lunch boxes and one work colleague described it a bananalicious!
I did not have pecans so used walnuts and did not have golden so used half of caster and half of light brown. Cooking it again now as it did not last long.
Just made this cake, had it in the oven for 1 hr 30 mins, and could have still done with another 5 or 10 mins as still very moist in the centre. Could have something to do with my crap oven! However this didnt detract from the wonderful flavour, the crumble topping is just delicious also. Will definetely make again.
i love banana cake and this is the nicest one i have tried. about to make another as it was soooooooo good. went into lunch boxes for my 2 boys school break and they loved it. it makes a good big cake that lasted a few days more than the usual loaf tin size. the crumble bit on top also amazing. Bit fiddly to do first time but worth it!!
First time I made this cake I was guilty of not following the recipe I replaced the egg whites with another whole egg, used hazelnuts instead of pecan nuts and totally left out the milk, I was so delighted with the results that I decided to make it again with all the correct ingredients. However I was very disappointed with this cake as it was very dense and the topping did not stay as a
crumble appearance unlike my first attempt, it also took 1 hour 45 mins to cook. I would suggest others to try this recipe without
the egg whites and milk and then it rates a 5 star.

Graduates of the software development program will be prepared for entry-level positions in many computer science-related disciplines.
Software developers typically work in a comfortable office environment or computer lab. A standard work week is 40-50 hours with occasional periods of longer hours when deadlines must be met or emergency repairs are needed. Those employed in this field most often enjoy full benefits packages from their employers along with a competitive salary. Computer science professionals spend a large amount of time sitting at a computer and therefore may develop computer-related ailments such as eyestrain, back pain and carpal tunnel.
Advancement in this field is directly related to both education and experience. Software development and Information Technology professionals must stay current with technology trends and software launches and updates, and employers like to see proof of their skills. In order to advance, professionals typically must earn a bachelor-level degree, and in some cases a master degree; careers in the research area of the computer science field require a Ph.D. Additionally, computer science professionals will benefit from obtaining different industry certifications throughout their career and may need to take a prep class or additional coursework geared toward passing the exam(s).

Why Macy's should keep Donald Trump
Yes, he's a blowhard. But he sells quite a few items for Macy's, and so far, he hasn't crossed the foul line into dealbreaking territory.
The hot-headed billionaire has a line of shirts, ties, suits and even his own fragrance at Macy's. A constant critic of President Obama, he called last week's election "a total sham and a travesty" and a "great and disgusting injustice."
Those comments helped spur some 500,000 people to sign an online petition requesting that Macy's dump Trump. The petition, Bloomberg reports, was started by Angelo Carusone, who mounted a "StopBeck" campaign that he said resulted in anchor Glenn Beck leaving Fox News.
"If I stood inside a Macy's store and said the things that Trump has said, security would escort me out," Carusone told Bloomberg. Macy's told the news service that its merchandise doesn't reflect any political position.
Carusone, 30, is pushing for more action. He wants petition signers to cut up their Macy's credit cards, according to the Today show. If he continues to get no response from the retailer, who knows what he might have planned for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on Nov. 22.
A lot of people apparently agree with him. In a survey on the Today show site, 76% of the 34,000 respondents said that Macy's should pull an advertisement featuring Trump.
I disagree. This petition is as dumb as the ones in favor of seceding from the U.S. Look, Trump is a blowhard, a hypocrite and just plain mean, but his name works for Macy's. His brand sells clothes. Check out these reviews of just the ties in his collection.
Macy's undoubtedly has a code of conduct for Trump and other celebrities whose brands it carries. "Don't trash Macy's" is probably at the top of the list. But I imagine it gives those celebrities fairly free rein when it comes to non-Macy's subjects.
Macy's knew exactly what it was getting when it partnered with Trump. It's not as if "The Donald" has only recently begun rattling off incendiary and obnoxious comments. The more Trump says, the higher his profile gets and the more exposure his brand gets.
There's a delicate line that celebrities should not cross if they want to keep endorsements. Michael Phelps lost support from AT&T (T) and others after he was caught smoking marijuana. The "Got Milk?" campaign dumped Chris Brown after he was accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna. Just about everyone jilted Tiger Woods after a long list of shocking revelations emerged. Aflac fired Gilbert Gottfried after he made wildly inappropriate comments on Twitter about the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
But so far, Trump is still the same Trump that Macy's hired. Macy's should keep him and people who don't like it should vote with their wallets. If their voices get louder than Trump's, Macy's will take action.

First... Macy's has a problem. Only foreigners shop there and pay full price. Hire some foreigners to work the counters. As long as you are hiring, hire some maids to dust your shelves. Nothing sells in Macy's except clearance items. The old "hide half the old stock in back" trick doesn't work. As for an assrump like Trump... who? Does anyone really acknowledge him as anything other than a kook?
His labels on Chinese goods exemplifies his being... anti-American, financially-driven and a pariah. Donald Trump is dead in the water. He can't do his sociopath stuff now because he needs economy to leach off of. We have none. He is done. His clothing is cheap, hollow and looks good on a dummy.
Mr Carusone is every bit as much a COUNTERFEIT as Barack Obama is.
Here's the facts. Mr. Trump had BALLS enough to put his money where is mouth is, while at the same time providing Barack Obama with a GOLDEN opportunity to seriously help whatever charity he chose with $5,000,000.00. Trouble is Barack Obama didn't have BALLS enough to put up or shut up for his peeps.
Lastly, Barack Obama purports to have one 51% of the vote over 49% of the vote for Romney, but the only trouble with that equation is that the 51% that purportedly voted for Obama are the BROKE TAKERS and the 49% that voted for Romney are the MONEY PRODUCERS who will not be forking over any more coin to Obama and/or his LOSER PEEPS.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Green Bay Packers quarterback coach Ben McAdoo has been hired as the New York Giants offensive coordinator.
The Giants announced the hiring Tuesday evening after a quick two-week search.
McAdoo replaces Kevin Gilbride, who retired after a disappointing season where the offense underperformed. During his tenure as coordinator the Giants won two Super Bowls.
The Giants interviewed four candidates in their search. Former Giants quarterbacks coach and recent Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan was considered the early favorite.
New York also interviewed former Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains and former Houston Texans quarterbacks coach and UCLA coach Karl Dorrell.

Most sources agree on the existence of 72 species within the Acanthuridae family but the number of genera ranges from 6 to 9, depending on the source. Acanthurids, commonly known as surgeonfishes, are characterized by the existence of the " scalpel ," a distinctive spine or group of spines on either side of the tail base, hence the common name surgeonfish. Color marks often emphasize the scalpels and they are important for interspecies communication, as discussed in Communication below.

I want to punch climate change in the face. A blog about the interactions between the built environment, people, and nature.
Climate Book Store
Interesting list.
Chevrolet contacted me to review their climate-video series about planting trees. Their spokesperson is really nice, and I've had a few good conversations with him. But I feel bad for the guy because I hammered Chevy's project and he has to give feedback his auto-overlords. Regardless, here's some of the feedback I gave them about these videos:
1) I made it clear that if they're going to get bloggers to shill, they'd better know who they're talking to first. I'm an environmental policy and an infrastructure guy. I deal with floods, fire, and food, and sometimes habitat. I don't do carbon, GHG, energy stuff, or anything like that. If it's an interesting infrastructure project then OK, let's talk, I'm interested. But, carbon projects? I'm just not into it and it would be kind of Chevy to do their research before outreach.
2) That said, I still took a look at the videos and frankly I don't understand them. They start with physicist Michio Kaku talking about climate change and carbon while walking around a weird white studio-set made of painted plywood and sheet rock. Shouldn't he be sitting on a log, and not an artificial environment that probably got thrown in a dumpster?
Irony aside, I've watched three videos so far and I just can't wrap my brain around why a huge car company is planting trees. And, what does it say about Kaku that he's for hire by car companies??
3) Again, why is Chevy planting trees? It is a tacit admission of guilt? Is it cover for manufacturing a cradle-to-grave carbon producing products? There is a difference between a company changing its values and one that throws money at a project - it's called green washing, and the public is aware that it's a bunch of marketing bullshit that companies do to suck cash out of people's wallets.
4) They pledged to reduce 8 million metric tons of co2. I have no idea what that means, do you? Does the target audience know? What will reducing that much carbon reeealllyyy do? Why does that number matter? How did they come up with it?
I was nice about it, but I told them that no one knows what a metric ton of co2 is. For example, is it the amount from burning charcoal at a backyard bbq?? Or is it the amount that comes out of a power plant burning coal 24/7/365?
5) Let's assume that everyone knows what is a metric ton of co2. What difference will it make? Says who? Show the evidence.
6) Chevy's goal is to double the amount of vehicles sold over the next few cycles. So, again, this is just moving pieces around the chessboard.
7) Show me the stats, research, and facts that back up the claims made in the videos.
I agree, restoring forests is a good thing. It cleans water, stabilizes land, revitalizes species habitat, reestablishes native populations, increases property value, cleans air, etc. But connecting these things to one of the largest continuously operating polluters on planet earth is just frankly bizarre.
What do you think?

Snickers are raining down on the director of national intelligence for his confusion over the apparently devilish "rein" versus "reign."
In a Wednesday release announcing the departure of Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, DNI James R. Clapper said, "Since assuming the reigns in 2011, Matt and his leadership team have worked tirelessly to better integrate our counterterrorism community, successfully strengthening key partnerships across IC agencies and elements and with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies."
His team should have asked the CIA for spelling tips. That intelligence agency prides itself on details and even has a little-known style book that, on page 119, provides definitions:
Reign: To exercise sovereign power.
Rein: To guide, to control, to hold back.
The forward of the CIA's "Style Manual & Writers Guide for Intelligence Publications," approved for release Feb. 26, 2012, reads, "Good intelligence depends in large measure on clear, concise writing. The information the CIA gathers and the analysis it produces mean little if we cannot convey them effectively."Paul Bedard, the Washington Examiner's "Washington Secrets" columnist, can be contacted at email@example.com.

Strategy Research Initiative
The Strategy Research Initiative began as an informal gathering of mid-career strategy scholars in the hinterlands of Nova Scotia in 2007. The goal of the gathering was to create an organization of like-minded colleagues dedicated to the creation of institutions designed to advance research in strategy. Since that first gathering, the group has expanded, met annually to discuss our progress, and pushed forward on projects aiming to achieve that original goal.
At its core, the SRI is an action-oriented community -- we seek to build institutions and disseminate resources that help strategy researchers raise the bar of scholarship. Our shared view on what constitutes high quality research in strategy can be found here.
The launch of this site in 2009 represents the completion of two of our initiatives: the Strategy Reader and the Empirical Primer. These were identified as "low-hanging fruit" -- useful undertakings that could be up-and-running in a short period of time. Longer-term (and more ambitious) projects are in the works.
In 2011, SRI formally organized itself along the lines of an academic society. Our charter can be found here. A list of our Fellows, Members and governing bodies can be found on the Community page.
We invite you to explore this website and the resources provided.

(WMC-TV) - Firefighters escorted several families from their flooded homes in Horn Lake after a rain-swollen creek rose beyond its banks Tuesday.
The firefighters offered piggyback rides to children to help evacuate parts of the swamped DeSoto Village neighborhood.
Neighbors blamed the rapidly rising Cowpen Creek for much of the flooding, which longtime residents had not seen in years.
"Forty years ago, about '73, this happened," said resident Benny Meter.
Horn Lake police blocked traffic after several cars got stuck in water covered areas.
John and Jenna Pridgette have family in Oklahoma, and suddenly dealt with their own weather-related emergency Tuesday.
"I was at that mailbox ... trying to get my babies out of the car, and the current alone took me down the gutter," said Jenna.
John said he has called the city multiple times a week to report bad runoff in the area.
He and his nervous neighbors hope something can be done before the next deluge.
There are no reports of serious injuries due to the flooding.

MassTransit is a bus implementation for .NET that promises frictionless configuration and simple usage. The main problem about MassTransit in my opinion is the lack of organic documentation, especially a quick start guide that shows you the basic concepts behind MassTransit. If you jump into online documentation there is a nice page called "Show Me the code" that promise a quick start to jump into MassTransit concepts. The problem with that example is that it shows a single snippet of code that opens a bus based on Windows MSMQ and send a message to itself.
