David Guttenfelder, Associated Press
PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea's much-touted satellite launch ended in a nearly $1 billion failure, bringing humiliation to the country's new young leader and condemnation from a host of nations. The United Nations Security Council deplored the launch but stopped short of imposing new penalties in response.
The satellite's disintegration Friday over the Yellow Sea brought a rare public acknowledgment of failure from Pyongyang, which had hailed the launch as a show of strength amid North Korea's persistent economic hardship.
For the 20-something Kim Jong Un it was to have been a highlight of the celebratory events surrounding his ascension to top political power. It was timed to coincide with the country's biggest holiday in decades, the 100th birthday of North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, the young leader's grandfather.
The United States and South Korea declared the early morning launch a failure minutes after the rocket shot out from the North's west coast. North Korea acknowledged its demise four hours later in an announcement broadcast on state TV, saying the satellite the rocket was carrying did not enter orbit.
The launch brought swift international condemnation, including the suspension of U.S. food aid, and raised concerns that the North's next move could be even more provocative — a nuclear test, the country's third.
The U.N. Security Council denounced the launch as a violation of two resolutions that prohibit North Korea from developing its nuclear and missile programs, and met behind closed doors to consider a response. U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice, the current council president, refused to speculate on what action the council might take. The council imposed sanctions on North Korea after its first nuclear test in 2006 and stepped up sanctions after its second in 2009.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, a former South Korean foreign minister, called the launch "deplorable" and urged North Korea "not to undertake any further provocative actions that will heighten tension in the region," U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
Despite Friday's failed launch, Pyongyang pressed ahead with grandiose propaganda in praise of the ruling Kim family.
Hours after the explosion, the young Kim was installed as the new head of the powerful National Defense Commission during a meeting of the Supreme People's Assembly in Pyongyang. It was the last of the top military and party posts intended to consolidate his power after the death of his father, longtime leader Kim Jong Il, four months ago.
At a massive gathering later Friday, Kim Jong Un and other senior officials watched the unveiling of an enormous new statue of Kim Jong Il, which stood beside an equally massive one of Kim Il Sung.
North Korea had trumpeted the launch of its Kwangmyongsong, or Bright Shining Star, satellite as a scientific achievement and a gift for its late founder. It cost the impoverished nation some $850 million, according to South Korea's Yonhap new agency, which estimated the cost of the rocket and its payload alone at $450 million.
In downtown Pyongyang, university student Kim Kwang Jin was optimistic despite Friday's failure.
"I'm not too disappointed. There was always the chance of failure," he said. "Other nations — including China and Russia — have had failures while building their space programs so why wouldn't we? I hope that in the future, we're able to build a better satellite."
The rocket's destruction suggests the country has yet to master the technology needed to build long-range missiles that could threaten the United States. Still, worries remain about North Korea's nuclear program amid reports that it may be planning an atomic test soon.
The launch was condemned by the foreign ministers of the Group of Eight industrialized nations meeting in Washington, including Russia, while Washington said it was suspending plans to contribute food aid to the North in exchange for a rollback of its nuclear programs.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Stock for the built-in Barely Legal audience, not for the dull action.
Very nice looking young babes and great lighting and videography can't make up for the complete lack of energy that pervades this usually consistent series. For example, some may find it more interesting watching the flies buzz around Brianna's pussy during her outdoor fuck than watching the actual fuck.
Despite the different setups and environs, the action is flat as a pancake, with each romp as passionless as the one that proceeded. Which is a shame, because there are some truly beautiful girls here, and the shooting is done very well. Fans have come to expect more from this series.

Hudson jeans
Hudson Warehouse Sale
Hudson jeans is hosting a Warehouse sale! From Friday October 16-17th, stop by and pick up some great pairs of jeans for men, women, and kids. Prices will start at $25 for kids and $40 for adults. Are you planning to pick something up?
The Elliot by Hudson
The jogger is definitely here to stay for a bit longer and Hudson has given there take on the style for the new season. For the Elliot, the brand kept things classic and true to the style and let the washes stand out. Available in three washes, there is definitely a variety of choices that will make any Hudson fan excited to try.
There's the Army Green that is the perfect deep olive that is on trend and will edge up any look you style with them. Then there is a more casual wash, like the white, that will make a look feel fresh and crisp. And if you are the classic denim guy, they of course kept true to what they do best and have the Escapist wash that will look perfect with a black t shirt. Which ones are you looking forward to trying? You can click here to purchase these joggers from the Hudson website
The Mick Moto Drawstring by Hudson
You didn't expect Hudson to come out with just a pair of simple joggers did you? Being that the moto has become a signature for the brand, they decided to marry together the moto and the jogger in a way that only Hudson can do without making it feel overdone.
These are definitely standout, but there is a subtlety to them that just gets me excited to see. The contrast of the black against the white is very graphic, but when paired with a curved hem tank or tee in the main color of the pants, it helps bring them down and makes them work. These are a rare statement piece that I definitely want to give a try.
You can click here to purchase these moto joggers from the Hudson website.
Elle Fanning in HUDSON Krista Released Hem Cropped Skinny in Revelation
Elle Fanning was spotted arriving to Chateau Marmont Hotel in West Hollywood, California. The actress wore a pair of the HUDSON Krista Released Hem Cropped Skinny in Revelation with a white camisole and some Chloe espadrilles.
I am quite fond of the subtle quirks that Elle always adds to her looks, like these shoes. It really brings out her personality with the styling that I just find fun. What do you think of Elle's style? Click here to purchase these jeans from the HUDSON website for $209.

Bill Brown, a local business owner and volunteer in the Kairos prison ministry, died in a vehicle accident at South Grand Street and Tower Drive on Thursday. He was 62.
David Lucero, 37, a motorcycle driver in the accident, and Brown, who was driving a Geo Prizm, collided about 8:15 p.m., according to the Amarillo Police Department.
Brown's vehicle spun around and struck another vehicle driven by William Grimes, a 21-year-old student from out of town, the APD said.
Brown died at the scene.
Lucero, meanwhile, was taken to Northwest Texas Hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was not wearing a helmet, investigators said.
Brown, a passionate family man, owned S&L Automotive at 1841 S. Bolton St., and worked in the Kairos prison ministry at the Bill G. Clements prison.
Brown was a member at The Church at Quail Creek.
"Bill loved to help men who were down and discouraged and sharing with them the light of Jesus' love," said Trent Sisemore, former Amarillo mayor and a friend since 1967. "He was not only passionate about it, but also compassionate. Many lives were changed because of his commitment through his Kairos prison ministry."
Brown's first wife, Joyce, died after battling cancer in 1991, and it drew Brown closer to God, Sisemore said.
"Bill really became close to the Lord. He's such a godly man and somebody that I look up to," Sisemore said.
Brown's stepdaughter, Rachael Wells, recalled her stepfather fondly.
"He was a great Christian man. He was soft-spoken, very nice," Wells said. "He was a wonderful guy."
Brown is survived by his wife, Jo Marie Brown; one daughter, Stephenie LaNell Brown; one stepdaughter, Rachael Wells; two stepsons, Scott Wells and wife Sheila and Gary Wells and fiancee Dawn Taylor; two sisters, Judith Popp and husband John and Laura Brown; his father, William S. Brown Jr.; and two grandchildren, Bree and Britton Wells.
Funeral information is pending with Schooler Funeral Home.

The Libertine
- Studio: Weinstein Company, The
- Release Date: Nov 23, 2005
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
This one-of-a-kind spellbinder from first-time director Laurence Dunmore is not afraid to shock. Depp is a raunchy wonder, especially in a time-capsule-worthy opening monologue.
As the imperious actress (and whore) Elizabeth Barry, the unlikely object of Wilmot's affection, Samantha Morton finds the soul in a woman who's hard as nails, and Tom Hollander and Rosamund Pike also provide excellent support. The haunting score is by Michael Nyman.
This film isn't pretty, but it has some kick: It is to "Shakespeare in Love" what wild pheasant is to Chicken McNuggets.
An interesting film, and a good one, with a harrowing performance by Depp, whose apparent enjoyment of the role seems only to increase as his character deteriorates.
As the depraved John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester, Johnny Depp adds yet another sly sleazoid to his burgeoning portrait gallery.
Johnny Depp's coruscating, rigorously uningratiating performance as debauched, self-destructive 17th-century aristocrat John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester, is the glue that doesn't quite hold together first-time director Laurence Dunmore's adaptation of Stephen Jeffreys' 1994 play.
Illuminated by dim candles and the rare glimmer of sun, the movie is grainy, closed-in, and likely to cause spasms of claustrophobia.
It's a bit too muddy, dismal-looking and smoky to beguile us, too fixated on filth and too dreary-looking to really shock us.

Great story, wonderful performances by all actors involved. Very Shakespearean feel, dark and moody, and also extremely sensual. I don't know why this movie wasn't given an Oscar. I guess movies about little known poets don't provide for a wide enough viewership. See it repeatedly. It will stay with you forever.… Full Review »

Don't plan on going this year... no time. From what I recall they just check bags at the front gate, kinda like Disney.
I reference to the sooting I go to FIU and got this email (Thought it was funny).Dear students:
Perhaps you have heard news reports about a fatal shooting that took place last night at the Shell gas station on the corner of 107 Ave. and 8th Street across from FIU-University Park.
This incident occurred off campus, did not involve any member of the FIU community and did not impact university operations in any way. Miami-Dade Police is investigating; a suspect is in custody.
Any questions about this matter should be directed to Public Safety Chief Bill King, 305-348-2626 or firstname.lastname@example.com or to Vice President Rosa Jones, 305-348-2797 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you.

If I pass a scanner object to a method, will the scanner scan from the beginning of the input or continued to scan for the remaining part of the input. Here is my code:
public class Test {
public void test(Scanner sc) {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String str = sc.nextLine();
Test t = new Test(sc);
// here is the input file:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 1 2 3
I have test this code on both on Windows and Linux, but I got two different result
The first result is in the method test, it print 5 6 7 8
the second result is difficult to understand, it print 1 2 3 4, still the first line of the input.
Is this related to the different version of Java, Can someone explain this for me, thank you!

I have an issue this morning where I want to be able to assign multiple ip addresses to the inside interface to facilitate an ip range migration for an office.
Namely from a 192.168.1.x range to the new range, with the minimum of interruption for those working in the office.
(New DHCP leases will use the new range, whilst those still on the 192.168.1.x range can continue to work until their lease is renewed).
However I can not for the life of me figure out how to achieve this, trying to create multiple interfaces for the job leads to complaints about the license only allowing 2 active interfaces.
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

This review is from: Rosewill WolfAlloy ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case, support VGA card length up to 340mm, come with four fans-2 x Front 120mm Fan, 1 x Rear 120mm Fan, 1 x Top 140mm Fan
Pros: - Tool-less design (only screws are Mobo, PSU, and Fans)
- Bottom mounted power supply
- Supports 6 case fans, comes with 4 preinstalled
- Dust filters on front and bottom (typical air in-flow locations)
- Accomodates air coolers for CPU (up to 175 mm tall)
- Multiple predrilled grommets for liquid cooling designs
- Two hard drive cages (the top one, 5 bay, is removable)
- Accomodates 8 HD drives (3.5" or 2.5")
- Interior is all black
- Window on side to show off interior
Cons: - No option to mount side fan for GPU cooling
- Front (orange) LEDs on fans aren't very bright
- Front panel is difficult to remove (meaning fans are hard to clean)
Other Thoughts: Love the all black interior and the orange claw design in the front. Bottom mounted PSU. Good cable management. 2 HDD cages (top one is removable) accomodating a total of 8 possible drives. There are 2 slots up top for 5.25" options (DVD, Fan Controllers, SD Readers, etc). Overall tool-less design (including the back PCI plate covers).
Cooling -- Comes with 4 fans (2x 120mm LED, 1x 120mm, 1x 140mm). Supports 6 fans total. No option for side mounted (GPU cooling) fan. Wide enough to support air coolers up to 175mm tall (Hyper 212 Evo, etc). Liquid cooling holes already drilled w/ rubber grommets.
Hardware -- Interior is nice and the space behind the main tray is adequate for running cables. The PCI card slot covers are removed by screws.
Extras -- Front panel options are all at the top of the case. 2x USB 2.0 & 2x USB 3.0 slots. HD Audio connections for both headphones & mic, large power button in the center and a smaller reset button on the right. Includes extra screws & zip ties. Manual could be better (but all case manuals are that way)
Overall -- For under a $100 you get a really nice, mid-tower ATX case with 4 fans preinstalled (2x orange LED), support for both air & liquid cooling CPU designs, front panel USB 2.0 & 3.0, Tool-less design throughout, removable HDD cages, good cable management options, and bottom mounted PSU.
This review is from: Audiovox FMDIRB
Pros: Price, Works Seamlessly with Audiovox/Advent Players, Long Audio Cord, No more interference!
Cons: Doesn't fit all car antennas/radios (needed adapters for both radio and antenna for late model dodge caravan... Metra EU-40). Comes with old school antenna plug, so check your radio first!
Other Thoughts: This works as a wired FM modulator. It requires a device that transmits FM output through a 3.5mm jack.
This is found on the underside of most Audiovox and Advent brand overhead DVD players.
The antenna plug goes into the back of your radio in the dash. You may need an adapter for this, I did. Your existing antenna plug goes into the metal box (again an adapter may be needed). The long wire is then routed behind/under the dash, up the side support beam, across the headliner to the DVD player and the 3.5 mm plug goes into the underside if the DVD player. Most radio shops can install this module for a reasonable price ($100-200 USD) if you aren't comfortable with this process.
It works best if you disconnect the little blue FM wire from the player first.
Now when you turn on the player, whatever channel you've chosen on the DVD player will be transmitted via the wire to your radio. No interference at all.
This WILL NOT work as a direct sound output (ie. From an iPod)
This review is from: Logitech MK120 Wired USB Keyboard and Mouse - Black
Pros: Nice, clean design. Mouse is comfortable (and can be easily used by a left-handed individual). Excellent price.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: This is a very nice, wired keyboard and mouse combo. As long as you understand what you are getting (basic keyboard, two button mouse with a center, clickable scroll wheel), you should be very happy.
It does not have back-lit keys, it doesn't have dedicated keyboard shortcuts, it doesn't do your dishes...
If you need a basic, wired keyboard and mouse at a great price (which is what 99% of users out there will want), this is a perfect choice. If you are looking for more, look elsewhere.

Know both the magnitude of what can happen during a pandemic outbreak and what actions you can take to help lessen the impact of an influenza pandemic on you and your family. This checklist will help you gather the information and resources you may need to prepare in case of a flu pandemic.
Family Emergency Communication / Contact Plan
- Create a list of all cell, work, and home numbers, and e-mail addresses of all family members.
- Discuss a plan if a family member becomes ill and lives out of state.
- Prepare for the possibility that airports and roads may be closed and think about a location to meet when travel is possible.
- Each family member should have a medication list that is shared among members.
- Have nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins.
- Have a thermometer on hand.
- Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home.
Plan for a pandemic
- Store a two-week supply of water and food. During a pandemic, if you cannot get to a store, or if stores are out of supplies, it will be important for you to have extra supplies on hand. This can be useful in other types of emergencies, such as power outages and natural disasters.
- Ask your doctor and insurance company if you can get an extra supply of your regular prescription drugs.

Unit History: Activated by 1 May 1942 at Camp Polk, Louisiana. Arrived at Greenock, Scotland, in February 1944. Landed at Utah Beach beginning 8 August equipped with M10s. Raced across France in August and participated in fighting around Metz in September. Transferred to Peel Marshes in Holland in late September. Began re-equipping withM36s in October, then supported Ninth Army's drive toward the Roer River in November. Transferred with 7th Armored Division to the Ardennes on 17 December and participated in the defense of St. Vith. Supported operations against the West Wall in February 1945. Crossed the Rhine River at Remagen on 23 March. Helped reduce the Ruhr Pocket in April. Drove east to the Elbe River and crossed, reaching the Baltic coast on 3 May.

When it was once again able to advance, the 7th Armored Division, including the 814th Tank Destroyer Battalion, suffered heavy losses in its attempts to take the fortress city of Metz on the Moselle River. Relieved by the 5th Infantry Division, the 7th Armored was attached to the First Army and, on September 25, began convoying to an assembly area near Maastricht, Holland.
Assigned to plug the gap between British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery's Twenty-First Army Group and General Omar N. Bradley's Twelfth Army Group, the 7th Armored shuttled among the First Army, the British Second Army and the Ninth Army, all the time fighting against a stronger enemy force than Allied Intelligence had estimated. Two months after the 7th Armored began trying to clear the Germans west of the Maas River, two full British corps finally overcame the stubborn enemy holdouts. Casualties in the gun companies ran high in the peat bogs of the Peel Marshes because equipment had to stay on the roads, allowing no chance to maneuver. In later years Rogers recalled the sporadic enemy shelling and the patrols along the Asten-Nederweert road, even at night, to counter enemy mine-laying attempts. Nederweert, he said, was his platoon's town, and he spent three nights in the church tower observing the Germans across the canal before they put a shell through the tower on the fourth night.

The first platoon leader received a report about 1100 that his #1 M-10 had been evacuated by the Germans in spite of American Artillery fire in that area. Between 1200 and 1230 hours three heavy artillery concentrations were delivered by the enemy in the area occupied by Co. "B" CP (See overlay #4). During the third concentration Co. Cmdr. was seriously wounded and his M-20 crew were slightly wounded. All four were evacuated immediately.
And this site 814th Tank Destroyer Battalion Deaths in Europe has all casualties listed for the 814th and by searching for the keyword "October" on the page one can see all crew killed on the 28th from company B and those killed on the 29th from company C

Hello Gerard; Capt. William Boyd McKinley was my Uncle. He was my fathers older brother (by 2 years). I never met uncle Bill,
I was not born until 1953. But I can tell you this, He was a natural born leader who earned the praise of his officers such that he
was promoted up from private to Captain in about 16 months. That alone is rare. But he also was respected by his company.
As I recollect the story from what my late father shared, uncle Bill had crossed France just a few months prior to his tour in Holland.
He served in the 3rd Army under General Geo. S. Patton jr. and wrote many letters home to his mother in Ohio sharing how happy
and proud he was to be part of that division. He genuinely loved taking command from Gen. Patton.
When the French crossing was completed, he also wrote home to mom at how different it was to now be under Gen. Montgomery
and the Allied forces. He did not feel as secure and safe and he stated it clearly in one of his letters.....a month before dying.
Uncle Bill had a standing order for his men to quickly get far away from the equipment on any road, any time they would get stuck
or bogged down. And that day, in front of your Father's farm on Asten/ Meijel Road is exactly what happened. And two or three
men were not away from their cannon (or M-10 tank). When my uncle went out to them , and order them to clear out....an incoming
shell from a German 88 cannon positioned 6 miles away on a hillside hit the vehicle, killing the three men, and severing the arms off
of Uncle Bill on October 28, at 12:20 hrs.
He was treated in a field hospital in Holland, but then moved to France to a full-scale hospital, where he died of his wounds on Nov. 7.

Welcome Mr McKinley
Hopefully Gerard will return and you can connect. I replied to his post in case he has a notification set.
Thank you for sharing the story of your father's brother. Company command is the highest test of combat leadership.
It's good that you know so much about your uncle's service. I urge you to write it down and share it widely in your family so it can be preserved. Along with copies of letters, envelopes and photos, his story should be documented so nobody has to guess about the facts.
I know the people at TankDestroyer.net would be glad to hear from you and provide any assistance possible.
You mention Patton's Seventh Army, which he led in Sicily, but perhaps you meant Third Army which he led in France? It matches the other details of his service.
Again welcome,

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Former U.S. Rep. J.C. Watts says he doesn't
regret his decision not to run for Oklahoma governor and that he
doesn't know if he'll ever run for an elective office again.
Watts appeared with Sen. Tom Coburn Friday night at the
senator's fundraising event in Norman. Coburn, a Republican, has
yet to draw a Democratic opponent for this year's election.
Coburn is running for a second Senate term, after which he says
he plans to step down. Some pundits say Watts could be a possible
successor but Watts says it's too early to know if he'd run for any
vacant Senate seat or another office.
Watts has a consulting and lobbying firm in Washington, D.C. He
considered entering this year's gubernatorial race, but said last
year he had too many business and contractual obligations to do so.

The science of ecology is introduced through the lenses of local sites, urban areas, and broad landscapes. Key motifs during the course include basic ecological principles, spatial patterns, field observations, and the application of principles. The ecology of plants in landscape architecture, as well as analysis of ecosystems and vegetation, receives special emphasis. Spatial patterns are commonly linked to functional flows and movements, as well as change over time. Field studies highlight ecological and horticultural perspectives, in addition to Southern New England forested and urban areas.Pedagogic goals. The overarching goal is for students to develop a solid understanding of the basic principles of ecology, i.e., the study of how organisms interact with the environment, that are especially useful for landscape architecture. Emphasis is also placed on direct observation, analysis, and application of the ecological principles at different spatial scales in both natural and urban habitats. In addition, recognition of distinctive spatial, functional, and change patterns in the landscape is highlighted.Basis of grades. 40% four short exercises; 30% final main exercise (2 parts); 30% attendance, participation, and other evidence of learning (15% class; 15% field studies)Dr. Peter Del Tredici.

Course Description
This course examines the ecological structure, functioning, and change of a mosaic of natural systems and land uses, such as woods, wetlands, fields, streams, roads, and built areas. Combining science and spatial pattern at broad landscape and regional scales, the emphasis is on principles which apply widely. Forested, agricultural, dry, and suburban landscapes are emphasized using a worldwide perspective. Key topics include: spatial patterns of land mosaics; patches, boundaries, corridors, and matrix; flows and movements of animals, plants, materials and energy across the land; and diverse landscape transformations and their associated ecological changes. Abundant applications of major principles are pinpointed for design, conservation, planning, management, and policy.Prerequisites: None, but a principles of ecology course is recommended.

Legendary R&B singer Regina Belle is back with her ninth album and second gospel album, Higher (out June 5). During a recent visit to ESSENCE, the Grammy and Academy Award-winning singer revealed that although she's mainly singing gospel nowadays, she still manages to sing her secular hits like "Baby Come to Me" and "If I Could."
"The Bible says go into the hedges and the highways, and so I'm permitted by permission of our Father, to go back to some of the places that I've been previously," says Belle, who is now a pastor's wife (her husband, ex-NBA player John S.

Slut Dust Stripper Glitter was made popular in Los Angeles California by a local business man. There are more than 50 colors of the bright poly glitter. It has been used for crafts, nails, and body glitter. The product was so popular that fakes even started to arise, they also have an apparel line. It was first mass marketed and sold by a company in California named Silva Acquisitions. There are many retailers of this product.

hi guys, i hope you can help me out with this, i've been searching for a solution but can't pinpoint it.
i've used your (fantastic!) plugin and was able to clone the main site into a subdirectory. all content and options were fine, but images are showing the broken icon.
moreover, the path /uploads/sites/NUMBER does not exist, but i was able to upload an image absolutely fine in the subsite.
i've been searching for the image with an FTP client inside the entire /uploads folder, but there's no sign of it... where is that stored?
from what i've read, there's a difference between pre 3.5 and post 3.5 WP way of handling path on mu installs.
i've seen people suggesting tweaks to your plugin file, but i'm not sure that's necessary, i think it's only a matter of remapping the path, somehow...
do i have to resort to a mysql find/replace on the database itself or is there any hack/tweak/plugin/solution i may try?

This is a discussion on real life scenario from this past week... within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Lots of thing to consider here. but the men were beating on the women as well as on each other, but the women were NOT ...
Lots of thing to consider here.Sounds like the women were accustomed to being punching bags. As sad as it is, they made their bed and now they have to lie in it. If you were to shoot "Baby Daddy", who provides food and shelter to the woman and her baby, do you really think you will be getting a "Thank you" from said victim?but the men were beating on the women as well as on each other, but the women were NOT fighting back--
Commentary by Evan Marshall
As much as we may all want to help, that help needs to be tempered with the realities of the world that we live in today. Until our legal system is changed to being more supportive of third party intervention, I will only be bringing a gun to the most profound engagements.
Do I care if the woman lives or dies? Not really, as it has no bearing on my day to day life. Is it sad? Most definately it is. Sadly the world is not Utopia, and evil does inhabit the world. My goal is to see that myself and my loved ones make it home.
On the surface this appears to be a shoot situation, weaker defender, aggressor armed with a deadly instrument, disparity of force. Now, when it's all said and done, do you think that if you shot "Baby Daddy" that the victim here will be thankful towards you?
Life has taught me that you would be painted as the aggressor and that your intervention was not warranted. I can assure you that the local prosecutorial powers that be would make sure you learned that lesson. That forces one to have a hard shell and appear uncaring about those around you. At least that's the approach that I have taken, as it seems to work for me.
Would I be justified in shooting? From what I know, and looking strictly at the elements in this thread and that all of the elements of Ability, Opportunity and Jeopardy are met on paper, yes. Would I want to take the risk of finding out if I didn't have to? Nope, as I've got too much to lose.

It would be a hard call to make. If i felt that someone was going to die i might step in and try to do something but that many people against me isnt good at all. That might also attract unwanted attention to the kid as well. It would be best if stepping in wasn't necessary
The problem with that situation in NC, as I understand it, is if the woman started the violence I have no legal means to defend her. If she is not legally justified in defending herself, ie instigated it, then I cannot defend her either. Tough call. If I did not see it start and know which players are responsible then I have a tough decision based on our third party defense ideas.
That's the type of situation I worry about the most. I would probably want to do something, but feel like the law ties your hands to a point. That can be good or bad I guess.
For example, if she tried to stab the guy before I saw anything then he is justified in bashing her head in.

You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
I cant say for sure what I would have done. But this scenario goes right back to my thread from last week: Opportunity, Ability and Intent. And while all of us on here know we would never like to be placed in the middle of a situation like that I much like you dont know if I would have been able to stand by and watch a woman be hit in the face with a rock like that either.
This thread goes to show just how on your own you really are, my fellow man...LOL
Not my problem is much easier, and we wonder why we're in the shape were in.
Only an authority figure can act...come on
I guess it confirms one statistic. in a crisis situation 80% will do nothing, 10% will do the wrong thing, and 10% will do the right thing, which in this case is save the women LIFE!
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Are you saying that the "right thing" to do is to kill the man harming the woman?
Even if you have no idea what the situation is?
Even if the police may have been called already?
Since you separated "doing nothing" as a different statistic, what would be the "wrong thing" to do?
There is something about firing 4,200 thirty millimeter rounds/min that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
My own thoughts would have been the following as in order of importance to my own view:
1) Rescue and secure the child;
2) Dial 911...And state persons are being assaulted with lethal weapons in the immediate;
3) Leave.
Yes, I know that third item is harsh...But aside from some very specific conditions that is what I'd do.
I have no idea who is the BG, who is the GG, and who was the instigator (there is always one of each!).
As well my primary thought as a default has to be my own safety and security.
My own kids depend on that.
There after my own morals require me to do what I can to care for the child.
In doing so me going into to become one among the fray does not further enable me to ensure active security of the child.
Further now I become a secondary instigator as not just by the view of all others involved, but by the eye of a hindsight is 20/20 jury too.
Even as my intent to act/react might have been in the immediate per my understanding of the situations dynamic, nothing but pure & benevolent.
The situation to my view per the OPs third person reporting is largely full of suck and circumstance.
As much as I would not want to see _any person_ being assaulted, regardless of gender!, I would likely act in a carefully measured response for these reasons.

I would think that in states where you are allowed to come to the aid of another person, you would need to apply the evaluation to the victum, in this case the woman.
Does the guy with the rock have opportunity to injury the woman; He already is, does he have ability, a rock would qualify, has he displayed intent, he is already hitting her.
I am not taking the position that coming on this scene would I would automaticially shoot, nor can I say I would not shoot. Really tough call.
Imagine you shot the guy with the rock, only to have the little girl run over and cry, "Daddy" as he fell. Then you find out the woman had grabbed the child, and the fathers friends were busy keeping her accomplishes off the dad while he wrestled the little girl from the womans grip. By then adrenelin dump got the best of him and he continued to use the rock after she let go of the girl.
an option is making enough noise to let the involved know that the police are on their way and that if anyone wants to avoid going to jail now would be the time to haulass....you might get lucky and appeal to someones desire for freedom...or they might turn on you and deadly force will be necessary...
very tough call...i vote secure the child and make some noise while attempting to leave the situation...then see where it goes...
Can we really say that these women are "used" to getting beaten simply because they aren't fighting back?
And is it logical then to make the assumption that, even if they are used to it, they have "made their beds" and are somehow deserving of getting beaten to death?
And what if the man doing the beating is indeed justified in the attack (or defense) because the woman was the initiator - does this mean that he is legally allowed to attack her after any threat she may have posed is clearly nonexistent now? It would appear that, if the woman was the initiator, her threat is clearly over, and the man's act of self-defense has now become assault, even if it is an "adrenaline dump." Again, just food for thought.
I think removing the child from danger is the first move, followed by a 911 call, then a verbal warning to the attacker. I honestly think the savageness of the rock beating would motivate me to intervene in some form. I didn't ask to be put in that situation, but if I found myself in it, I could not stand by waiting for the police to arrive if the woman's life was clearly in immediate danger. Am I saying that I would pull my weapon? Not at first, but I would consider it if other methods did not work. I would even consider firing a few rounds in the air before pointing the weapon at someone.

Joshua Harris, leader of the Wall Street group that has reached a deal with Comcast-Spectacor to buy the 76ers, is a billionaire bottom-feeder who buys damaged assets cheaply and sells them at a profit.
That's how Harris, 46, who grew up in suburban Washington and graduated from Penn and Harvard, has made his bread since the end of the 1980s, when he escaped the former junk-bond giant Drexel Burnham Lambert. That was after Harris' fellow Wharton graduate Michael Milken wrecked the firm with illegal deals and went to prison.

This recipe is a winner! I made this for the office Christmas party and everyone loved them!
I used a jalapeño tortilla wrap, and added some Parmesan cheese. I will most certainly be making these again!
I made these for a family get-together with my husband's family the week before Christmas. They were delicious! Everyone devoured them. They had a pretty presentation, and a delicious flavor. These are perfect for entertaining, or for enjoying for a light meal. Thanks again Kitten!
Fantabulouso, as my family exclaimed! Thanks for another winner, Kitten. I used 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 2 Tbs minced red onion in place of the scallions. Will make again

The assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), since the First Assessment Report, have involved calibrated uncertainty language and other methods aimed towards clear communication of the degree of certainty in findings of the assessment process. There has been a continuing tradition of iterative improvement of the treatment of uncertainties in these assessments. Here we consider the motivations for the most recent revision of the uncertainties guidance provided to author teams of the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). We first review the history of usage of calibrated language in IPCC Assessment Reports, along with the frameworks for treatment of uncertainties that have been provided to IPCC author teams. Our primary focus is the interpretation and application of the guidance provided to author teams in the Fourth Assessment Report, with analysis of the successes and challenges in the application of this guidance and approaches taken in usage of its calibrated uncertainty language. We discuss the ways in which the AR5 Guidance Note attempts to refine the calibrated uncertainty metrics and formalize their interrelationships to improve the consistency of treatment of uncertainties across the Working Group contributions.
