text: Book Sales Drop, Contribute to Decline in Obamas' Income Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 12 Apr 2014 post a comment As President Barack Obama's approval ratings decline, so have sales of his two blockbuster books. As a result, the Obamas made nearly $130,000 less last year than they did in 2013. President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama earned "$481,098 in 2013 and paid $98,169 in taxes." The Hill reports that the couple's earnings "dropped significantly due to weakening sales of the president's books. In 2012, the Obamas reported $608,611 in income." Obama has stated many times that his two books, Dreams From My Father and Audacity of Hope, helped the couple pay off their loans, as the books flew off the shelves after his Democratic National Convention speech in 2004, election to the U.S. Senate, and presidential run and election in 2008. The Obamas "also reported nearly $60,000 in gifts to charity — substantially down from the $150,000 they gave in 2012, and the $172,000 they donated in 2011." Their largest charitable donation was to the Fisher House Foundation.

Duo held on heroin charges
RELATED: See more crime news from the Fredericksburg region
MORE: Read more Stafford County news
Two Stafford men were arrested on heroin-related charges following a raid on their home Tuesday, police said.
Benjamin Mark Smith, 28, and Ryan Kenneth McQuinn, 26, both of 13 Anita Drive, were arrested as part of an ongoing investigation headed by Stafford Detective Sarah Montgomery and 1st Sgt. Robbie Grella.
Sheriff's Maj. David Decatur said the search warrant was obtained following an investigation that included information from informants and surveillance of the residence. Heroin and a "prohibited" firearm were recovered, Decatur said.
Smith is charged with distributing heroin and McQuinn was charged with possession. Decatur said Smith was the target of the raid and McQuinn was arrested based on evidence discovered during the search. Decatur declined to elaborate.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is involved in the investigation, Decatur said.
Stafford narcotics detectives have been putting special emphasis on heroin distribution in the county in recent months.
There have been 12 deaths attributed to heroin overdoses in just over a year and detectives say it is by far the biggest drug problem in the county.

Marseilles, Illi...
Like my other project, Amy's Bag, this Western Bag began with The Metropolitan IJ758. I'm a cowgirl at heart, with a great collection of barkcloth, so I thought it would be fun to make this Western piece into a fun, kitschy handbag.
I made a few changes to the pattern, and changed the construction. The top band and purse body are combined into a single piece. When the pleats are sewn, it forms a "paper bag" style shape with a flared top.I widened and lengthened the handles. I attached them at wider points than the original pattern shows. They are sewn on to the bag at 2 points each, creating "belt loops" for my old Western belt. The handles and top edge binding are made from a faux tooled leather.
Instead of the flat bottom and wide corners of the original style, I boxed the corners to create a 2 inch reinforced bottom.
The purse is lined with chamois colored denim. I accented the top inside with bands of orange cotton (besides bringing out the orange in the print, it's an ode to the color of the year!) I included zippered pocket and a divided patch pocket (I love pockets in my purses!). The purse closes with a magnetic snap.

Nouriel Roubini
He may not be perfect, but there's never been a better time to be in the prophet of doom business.
See Slavoj Zizek on how capitalism won the recession.
The Great Recession may have been the best thing ever to happen to Nouriel Roubini. Once a relatively obscure academic macroeconomist, he won fame as "Dr. Doom," the man who predicted, in 2006, just how and when the global financial system would collapse. So how have the last few years treated him? Business has been good -- very good. His forecasting record? Not quite.
Even before his prophetic prediction, Roubini had branched out from an economics professor's typical activities. In 2004, he transformed his personal website into a small research firm that became known for the "RGE Monitor," a high-end, subscriber-only collection of news and views about the global economy. These days, his name has become the bigger brand; the old RGE URL redirects to roubini.com, where his self-described "ugly" face greets every visitor.
The mind behind that face is now the linchpin of an eight-figure business. "We started with five people in 2005, and now we employ almost 100," Roubini told me. "We started in New York, and now we have a big office in London and now also in New Delhi. We started with global macro, and now we've hired a bunch of strategists who derive the asset-pricing implications of our views."
And views are one commodity Roubini has in abundance. He's a fixture on the smarter late-night talk shows and even showed up on the big screen in Oliver Stone's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (with the apt credit "Economist on TV"). He has argued forcefully that the Federal Reserve should make more targeted purchases of securities -- which it finally started doing in September, to the tune of $40 billion per month -- and that consumers' debts, including mortgages and credit cards, need more restructuring to extend and reduce payments. So far, though, he thinks the Fed has done a better job addressing the downturn than counterparts such as the European Central Bank.
He's also sure that the downturn could have been much worse without a strong policy response from the major economies around the world. "The Great Recession could have turned into a Great Depression 2.0 if we had not adopted very aggressive monetary and fiscal easing," he told me. Indeed, as a quick review of his forecasts over the course of the recession shows, things have turned out quite a bit better than he expected.
In April 2009, Roubini predicted that the U.S. economy would shrink in the second half of the year and that it would manage to grow only 0.5 to 1 percent in 2010. Despite a lot of headwinds, the economy managed to expand through all six quarters at an average annual rate of about 2.5 percent. A few months later, he suggested that the unemployment rate would soon hit 10 percent and then peak at 11 percent in 2010. It did indeed hit 10 percent in October 2009 but has been lower in every month since.
So was Roubini wrong? He wouldn't go that far. "What I've been saying, and I think that has been correct, is that the recovery will be anemic and off-trend because there's a painful process of deleveraging," he said. "I think I got it much better than the consensus. Could things in the U.S. be even weaker? Yes, but not much weaker."
Roubini has also been fond of forecasting a "perfect storm" for the global economy; he used the phrase in August 2008 to reiterate his fears of a global financial crisis and recession. But he also saw a "perfect storm" on the horizon in 2009 because of rising oil prices, taxes, and government bond yields. The hurricane never materialized, but that hasn't stopped him from warning of another one next year -- this time because of America's fiscal cliff, the never-ending crisis in the eurozone, and a hard landing for China's overheated economy.
Of course, predictions don't have to be right to be effective. If Roubini's direst pronouncements don't turn into reality, he can probably claim some of the credit for having alerted leaders to potential problems. And when it comes to his long-term views about economic fluctuations, he's sticking to his guns.
For example, when the price of gold topped $1,200 an ounce in December 2009, Roubini said it looked "suspiciously like a bubble." This past September gold was trading at about $1,700 -- it peaked around $1,900 at the same time last year -- but he still thinks it's a risky bet. "Gold has no intrinsic value," he said. It would take "another Armageddon" to make it rise in value again, he added, and in that case investors would probably be better off buying "spam, guns, and ammunition."
He also continues to worry that the United States relies too much on foreign capital to finance government spending and private-sector investment. The country's imbalances in trade and capital flows have narrowed since their peak in 2006, but not enough for Roubini to rest easy. He still sees a risk, though perhaps a distant one, that foreign creditors will lose confidence in the dollar and "pull the plug."
These are weighty concerns for any economist, especially one with a brow as permanently furrowed as Roubini's, but they don't stop him from having a good time. "I love what I do, and for me it's not work," he said. "I get a lot out of what I do intellectually. These are the most interesting times that anyone involved in macro could think of -- maybe too interesting."

Angelina Jolie has plans to become a dame in Namibia [Getty]
Angelina Jolie continues to give us a serious inferiority complex. She's currently in talks to become a citizen of Namibia so she can become a dame.
As you might remember, she was been bestowed with an honorary damehood by the Queen in her Birthday Honours, but because Ange is American she cannot officially use the title. Bummer.
Apparently Angelina's been advised that if she becomes a citizen of Namibia, which is part of the Commonwealth, she will be able to use her title, which she feels will help with her charity work. Also, she'll get to be known as Dame Angelina which is pretty cool in its own right, no?
A source told The Sun newspaper, 'Angelina was blown away when she was made a dame. She thinks it will add gravitas to her in her humanitarian work. Gradually she will focus less on acting and more on world issues and this helps to detract from her Hollywood history.'
Luckily for Ange, she already has strong ties with Nambia, as her eight-year-old daughter Shiloh is a Namibian citizen, having been born there in 2006.
And the Namibian Embassy has said that it would happily to consider Angelina for citizenship. A representative said, 'We would welcome Angelina Jolie to make an application for citizenship, just like anyone else.'

1 dead, 2 injured in rollover crash in Lockwood
The Montana Highway Patrol says a woman died Sunday morning in a rollover crash and fire in Lockwood and that a man and girl were injured.
Sgt. Buck O'Neill says the passenger car was eastbound on North Frontage Road when it drifted off the north side of the road for an unknown reason at about 11:35 a.m.
He tells the Billings Gazette that it continued for about 50 yards before striking an embankment and rolling, then catching fire.
Other motorists stopped to help put out the flames, and the man and girl got out though it's not clear if they did on their own or with help. O'Neill says the woman was trapped in the front passenger seat.
The man, who was driving, and the girl were taken to area hospitals.

Rajon Rondo still hindered by dislocated elbow
When Rajon Rondo returned to play minutes after his dislocated elbow bent in directions it wasn't meant to, nobody needed Albert Einstein to point out, "That kid is tough." A month and a half after Rondo's injury—a month and a half after he played the final two and a half games against Miami with only one functioning arm—he still isn't medically cleared to play basketball. Rondo won't be allowed to return to the court for another four weeks.
We knew at the time of the injury that Rondo shouldn't be playing with his elbow like that; the arm dangled at his side like an icicle, mostly useless and clearly painful. We know now that Rondo's injury required more than two months of recovery time. He returned in seven minutes. I wonder if that would impress Gregg Popovich.
As badly as Boston's season ended, the Rondo Elbow game perfectly captivated everything I love about this Celtics team. On one night, Kevin Garnett returned to his 20s to swallow Chris Bosh whole, Shaq returned from injury and hobbled around the court even though he could barely move, Ray Allen tried to physically confront Dwyane Wade, Paul Pierce outplayed Lebron James, and Rondo took seven minutes to return from an injury that still keeps him off the floor a month and a half later. Age could not stop the Celtics, nor could more talented opponents, nor could injuries. They would ultimately fall to James, Wade, Miami and their own mortality, just as they fell to the Lakers last season, but the Celtics—as always—gave away no free lunches.
With hindsight being 20/20, Rondo still has the guts of a burglar, just like we suspected when we saw him return that night, during a glorious game we might (but hopefully won't) come to regard as the Big Three's final stand.

Rondo's #9 will be hanging in the rafters and hopefully he'll win several championships before all is said and done. Truly the current leader of Celtic Pride. He is by far the best PG in the league. Go Cs…

Damn, I do agree with you on something, James. Rondo will be one of the great Celtics' legends before he is done. I almost hope the lockout happens so that Rondo has plenty of time to work on his shooting, so that he can come back and rock the NBA so damn hard it will take ten years to figure out how Rondo changed the game! Lol! Love that kid … so smart, so talented, so tough, so effing VISIONARY. You watch him play, and ok, he looks like he's on sleep meds half the time, but then he does things that tell you he's one of those who is seeing ten moves ahead of anyone else. People get shocked when he gets into it with Doc. Come on, it's like the supersmart kid who gets frustrated with the teacher sometimes, because the teacher can't keep up.
Yeah, Rondo will be a celtics legend if the idjit in the gm office doesn't trade him for a bag of golf balls and a front row ticket to Phantom of the Opera…

Bold indeed. You got it Paul. Ainge acts like a person with little man's disease, trying to flex his bravo.
In regards to Rondo, he's not the best in the league. The Bulls have that player. Rondo needs a lot of work on his shooting and FTs, so I hope he recovers soon to get some time in the gym.
A lockout I am praying for. I hope this aging C's team can play 40 games this season. They might have the legs to compete in the playoffs. Are we going to get any big men?
James, are you going to be listening to games this year or finally getting connected on cable TV? Does anyone know how much an NBA league pass is? Can you share the password, or will the NBA send the FBI to your front door? Does anyone have it? Do you get every C's game?

Chris H…based on my start-up getting funded by September I should be in good shape to get cable and watch games again. I'm staying with a friend temporarily and the cable issue has more to do with him than my being able to get it. Moving on, I will argue that while Rose is a great PG the reason I believe Rondo is the best is due to his ability to make everyone around him better. He can score under 10 pts but have 17-20 assists in a game. Rose can't do that. And when RR has that many assists it is usually through limited time and not for a full 4th qtr. And many times, if better shooting would happen (Davis last yr shooting 18 footers all the time) he'd likely average one or two more assists per game above his 11.2 this past season. While RR will never be the scorer that Rose is I believe his assists, rebounding, steals, and overall defense make him the best PG in the league. Just my opinion and what I want from my PG if I was a GM. Rose would be a great SG with a PG like RR next to him. Same goes for Tyreke Evans out here as the Kings go for a 'true' PG today. Can you imagine? Go Cs…

Spain's central bank chief said the country risks missing deficit estimates unveiled last month just hours after a successful bill sale dissipated some concerns that the government may have to seek a bailout.
"The projected course of total revenues in the budget is subject to downside risks," Bank of Spain Governor Miguel Angel Fernandez Ordonez told a parliamentary committee today in Madrid.
The comments may undermine the optimism sparked by Spain's successful bill auction just two hours previously. While 10-year bonds rose today, the yield is still close to 6 percent amid concern that Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's government will struggle to rein in the budget deficit and shore up a banking industry facing additional charges of 50 billion euros ($66 billion.)
Ordonez said revenue estimates should be "prudent" as he confirmed the economy is now suffering its second recession since 2009. The economy will shrink 1.8 percent this year, the International Monetary Fund forecast today.
The government's plan to raise 2.5 billion euros from a tax amnesty is "particularly uncertain," Ordonez told lawmakers in a session to discuss the budget, which was approved by the Cabinet on March 30 and is making its way through parliament.
Jobless Benefits
Spending linked to unemployment benefits may also be more than forecast as the nation suffers the highest jobless rate in the European Union, at almost 24 percent. If additional measures are needed, indirect taxes should be increased and temporary tax measures may have to be replaced by permanent ones, said Ordonez, who was appointed by the former Socialist government for a six-year term that ends this year.
Ordonez also said the decision by the government, which came to power on Dec. 21, not to present the 2012 budget until March 30 undermined confidence, as did slippage last year and uncertainty over what the deficit goal for this year would be.
Borrowing costs have surged about 1 percentage point since Rajoy said on March 2 the government would aim for a budget shortfall of 5.8 percent of gross domestic product instead of the 4.4 percent agreed with the European Union. A new goal of 5.3 percent was set by euro-region finance ministers on March 12.
'Enormous Worry'
"The doubts on the deficit goal created enormous worry as well as the presentation of the budget three months afterward, which was probably very justified, but the markets didn't see it as justified," he said.
The IMF created news doubts about Spain's current targets today when it forecast a Spanish shortfall of 6 percent this year and 5.7 percent in 2013, almost twice the 3 percent pledged by the Rajoy government for next year.
Spanish bond yields, which rose as high as 6.156 percent yesterday, the most since Dec. 1, fell to 5.89 percent after the Treasury sold more bills than the 3 billion euros it targeted for the auction.
Spain sold 12-month bills at 2.623 percent, up from 1.418 percent at the last auction on March 20, the Treasury said. The Treasury also sold 18-month bills at 3.11 percent, compared with 1.711 percent last month.
Spain faces another test of market sentiment on April 19 when it seeks to sell 2.5 billion euros of two-year bonds and its 10-year benchmark security.
Auction Results
"As far as this auction goes, not so bad but not good enough, in my opinion, to provide the market with a sense of optimism going into the bond auction on Thursday," said Luca Jellinek, head of European interest-rate strategy at Credit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank in London.
Demand for the 12-month bills was 2.9 times the amount sold, compared with 2.14 times last month. Demand for the longer maturity notes rose to 3.77 times from 2.93.
Demand for Spanish debt has been underpinned by the European Central Bank's emergency three-year lending to banks at tenders in December and February. Spanish banks' average net borrowings from the ECB surged almost 50 percent in March to 227.6 billion euros, central bank data showed last week, and data from the Treasury show Spanish lenders piled up on the nation's debt in the three months through February.
ECB Support
Spanish officials have called for additional help from the central bank, with Industry Minister Jose Manuel Soria saying today that a more "expansionary" policy to inject more liquidity would be "desirable." Jaime Garcia-Legaz, the deputy minister for trade, called on April 13 for the ECB to restart bond purchases.
Economy Minister Luis de Guindos met ECB President Mario Draghi in Frankfurt today in a meeting that was also attended by Jose Manuel Gonzalez-Paramo and other members of the executive board, the Spanish ministry said. It gave no details of what was discussed in an e-mailed statement today.
Rajoy has repeatedly said that the country won't need a bailout and on April 13 said it was "not possible" for the EU to rescue Spain. Soria raised the threat of a bailout again today to justify the need for budget cuts.
"If we don't meet the deficit targets they will stop lending to us, and if no one lends to us, they will have to rescue us, and because the government rules out the possibility of a rescue and intervention, that's why we're doing reforms," he said in an interview with RNE radio.

November 27, 2014
Nebraska state Sen. Annette Dubas is beginning a 12-city campaign kickoff tour in her bid for governor. The Democratic lawmaker from Fullerton said Sunday that, if elected, she would focus on renewable energy, ways to reduce property taxes and local economic development.
Dubas announced her bid at her family farm near Fullerton, a conservative district she has represented for nearly seven years. The 57-year-old mother and grandmother was born in Omaha, but returned to her father's hometown when she was 16.
Her entry into the governor's race gives Democrats a rare competitive primary with the potential to energize the party after several lopsided defeats. Dubas will face fellow Democrat Chuck Hassebrook, a former University of Nebraska Regent, who also headed an advocacy group for small towns.

Nicola Elliott
As you probably well know by now, snooping in the make-up bags of the gorgeous and glamorous is one of team Grazia beauty's favourite pastimes, so we were beyond excited to delve into the depths of Neom founder Nicola Elliott's beauty stash. When it comes to natural, aroma-therapeutic, organic products, Neom is our fave, hands down, never failing to induce a state of total bliss in our stressed-out lives.
What's more, since its launch in 2005, Neom has acquired a pretty impressive celebrity following- a little birdie tells us that the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss and Sienna Miller are all fans. So, when it comes to a holistic, glamorous approach to beauty, we reckon founder and director Nicola Elliott knows a thing or two. Read on and learn, ladies, to find out all about the make-up treats the blonde beauty simply cannot be without. Oh, and then make sure you get your hands on a Neom candle asap- they're a Grazia beauty desk fave…
Nicola Elliott's beauty goodies
Neom Organics Organic Hand Cream, £20.00: This is a handy sized tube which goes everywhere with me - all year long. It's packed with anti-oxidising extracts like acai and nourishing argan oil known to aid collagen production and tighten the skin and really nourishes hands too. I also keep one in my hand bag.
Juice Beauty Correcting Concealer, £18.00: This organic concealer not only is great for a natural cover-up, but it also contains grapeseed oil, which is one of my favourite ingredients, as it's so gentle and moisturising.
Bareminerals READY Blush, £22.00: I love the 'Faux Pas' colour. And with ingredients like cold-pressed camellia oil - it does not dry out your skin like other power blushes - it's really silky. And being in Yorkshire, I definitely need some fab colour in my cheeks!
Neom Organics mini bath & shower oils, £19.00: I have just come back from a long girl's weekend in Ibiza and I can tell you there really is nothing better to stash in your makeup bag than these potent mini oils. They barely take up any room and with 30% essential oils - not only do they help relax you on arrival after a cramped plane journey - because they are so powerful they really help refresh your mind, if you have a little bit of a hangover too! Use in the bath or shower for a real treatment.
Beauty Without Cruelty Natural Liquid Foundation, £11.99: Free from any nasty chemicals like parabens or PEGS, this liquid foundation is super-light (as I am not a fan of anything too heavy on my skin in the day) and gives great coverage.
Ilia Beauty Multi Stick, £30.00: I am a big fan of this brand and especially this multi-stick which has organic ingredients with added healing properties of vitamin e and shea Butter. It's a great little saviour to keep in your make up bag as it can be applied anywhere you need a splash of colour or a little sheen.
Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Watermelon, £5.99: I am also a fan of Burt's Bees. This US brand has so many great products at great prices. I am not really a lipstick type of person, so this lip shimmer softens and adds a little colour all-in-one.
Lily Lolo Eyelid Primer, £8.29: Every now-and-then, we all don't get enough sleep, whether partying over the summer at festivals, or if like me has a jammed packed time away from my husband and kids with the girls in Ibiza. And that is where this comes in. It's thick and creamy and a product that really works hard and does-it's-job and that's to cover up dark circles. Really recommended.

Alright, Ive relied on not having transportation or a nearby gym as an excuse for procrastination long enough. Im tired of it! So a few days ago I went out in the land behind my house and found a spot that will be the future site of an outdoor gym of sorts.
^Beginning reference point.
About 2 days later and at its current point.
*pull up bar
*dip station
*tire and sledge
*tractor tire for shrugs/flipping
*place for crunches and push ups
I had tried to search and find a thread of this type for guidance but didnt find anything comprehensive. So, Im going to keep the pictures coming throughout the process for any future DIY'ers.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas, shoot em off!

Several months ago, we discussed something called Nearby, a project that - at the time - seemed to be Google's effort to let "people, places, and things" know when a user is, well, nearby. It seems that Google is still hard at work on its effort to connect various devices to each other and their surroundings, but Copresence (an internal name for this functionality) may have a more specific scope in this effort than we first estimated, apparently including iOS devices in the fun.
When the Glympse app first came to Android, the idea of instantly sharing your exact location with someone was still novel. The function has lost much of its magic since, but it remains as useful as ever. Now the company is improving the service not by adding more features, but by gutting them out. The new Android-only Glympse Express app strips everything from the main app except for the essentials, the features you actually care about.
Tasker is quite possibly the most exciting, boring-looking app in existence. A new user stumbling across its Play Store page is sure to walk away scratching their heads, but it only takes reading a few blog posts to realize that there's more to this piece of software than the screenshots would suggest. Out of the box, it's capable of giving users more control over their Android devices than any single other app, but there are no shortage of plugins out there that still manage to crank things up to the next level.
Recently, we posted about a new feature Google was testing to help users better "explore" their surroundings, offering more fine-tuned exploration options for a user's immediate vicinity or their destination, with suggestions of what to do in the area based on time of day or conditions. The interface would apparently get its own button in Google Maps' primary view, but the button only appeared for a few users at the time.
There are a lot of goodies in the newest version of Google Maps, which just started rolling out to devices last week. However, some users are getting a bonus that didn't show up in the changelog. We've been able to get a few confirmations of a new Explore Nearby tool in Maps that offers much more fine-grained control of location-based suggestions.
Yesterday's update to Google Maps was certainly no slouch for new features; it came packing some great improvements for cyclists, new voice commands during navigation, and a few other interface tweaks. In addition to these public changes, there are also two brand new features buried within the code which are not active yet, but they may point to some exciting stuff on the horizon.
"I Am Here"
Google Maps is pretty good at figuring out where we've gone; between GPS, Wi-Fi, and even things like BLE-based iBeacons, it's possible to pinpoint our locations just about everywhere, even inside of buildings.
A couple of months ago, we posted one of our early Google Search/Now rumors, and it was something of a long range rumor compared to others. While things like parking reminders, proper timer management, and bill pay reminders have already seen their public release, the ability to set contact-based reminders ("remind me when I'm with this person"), hasn't come forward yet. But it will likely appear very soon with a new feature in Android called Nearby, which will allow new interactions between you and nearby people, places, and things.
Google's social boss was kind enough to give us the rundown of what was in the new G+ update this morning, but he did omit a few key details. One feature in particular that didn't get mentioned finally makes that location screen worth using. You can now jump directly into turn-by-turn navigation to make your way to wherever your friends are on the map.
It's still Update Wednesday here in San Francisco, and just when I thought I was done for the day, Google decided to upload yet another new version of one of its core apps - Calendar v201404011. And it's a big one, folks.
What's New
Location suggestions of nearby places
The main change in this update finally addresses (no pun intended) what I consider the most requested feature missing from Calendar for Android, which is actually present in Calendar on the web - location suggestions for places known to Google Maps.

NASHVILLE — A bill seeking to allow Tennesseans to openly carry firearms in public without permits has been defeated in a House subcommittee.
The House Finance Subcommittee voted 10-1 on Monday night against the measure sponsored by Republican Rep. Micah Van Huss of Jonesborough.
Van Huss told reporters after the vote that he will abandon an effort to circumvent the committee and call the bill for a full floor vote. That motion would have required the support of 66 representatives in the 99-member chamber.
The full Senate had passed its version of the bill on a 25-2 vote last week.
The measure sought to eliminate the state's background and training requirements for openly carrying guns in public, but would have kept the permit rules in place for concealed firearms.
