The first match was just a bad dream to be forgotten. After that RC performed very well in the matches played at the hometown.. Uthappa was the finisher for most of the matches. But in the DD match the start which Warner gave just boosted the match,where the RC players never came back… Some bad decisions in the CSK match cost us with the defeat. Otherwise it was a fantastic play in the initial phase of our 7 matches. Steyn was always a star with a powerpack batting by Kallis,Uthappa and Kohli. Kumble gave a splendid spell which was very economic and picked odd wickets. Though Vinay was very Costly but picked wickets. All in all it was the whole team which gave us the result.This was the story till 31st March. After which Kallis started loosing his grip.

Johnson's final delight
14 May 2008 - 08:07:09
Bristol City manager Gary Johnson was delighted with his side's efforts after they reached the Championship play-off finals by seeing off Crystal Palace.
The Robins won 2-1 at Ashton Gate after extra-time to seal a 4-2 aggregate success, with Johnson ecstatic that his players had stood up to the test from the in-form Eagles.
He beamed: "I trust these players and they trust me with their fitness and commitment in the last parts of games.
"How many times have we come back in games late on and it's credit to my medical team, my coaching staff and myself of course and the players for working so hard for these types of days.
"It's why you work hard all season because you need to finish strong on occasions like this.
"We won both games at the end of day 2-1 and that's put us through to a Wembley final in what is one of the biggest games of the world."

SOLEDAD, Calif. (AP) - President Barack Obama has signed a bill designating central California's Pinnacles National Monument as a national park.
The bill signed on Thursday makes Pinnacles National Monument the country's 59th national park.
Established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908, the 26,000-acre site southeast of Salinas includes towering volcanic rock formations popular with climbers, and caves.
The park is home to the endangered California condor. The area also holds cultural significance for several of California's Native American tribes.
The park designation will help increase the number of visitors and boost area tourism, Sen. Barbara Boxer, who sponsored the Senate bill, said.
The legislation also renames the current Pinnacles Wilderness as the Hain Wilderness after Schuyler Hain, an early conservationist whose efforts led to the establishment of the Monument.

The CoolestClubEver must have a line outside composed of people yearning to be found cool enough to enter; alas, they're NotOnTheList. This is the WannabeLine. Its main purpose is to be there for our hero to be whisked past, so we may know that our hero is cool. Alternatively, our hero may be trapped there with everyone else, to remind us that, although we know they're cool, [[CoolLoser no one else does]]. In RealLife, the Wannabe Line is usually for clubgoers who lacked the foresight to get there before the club reached capacity, and coolness or lack thereof doesn't enter the picture as often as TV Land would have us believe.
Banishment to the WannabeLine is always adjudicated by a team of monstrous {{Bouncer}}s.
[[folder: Film ]]
* Half of the plot of ''Film/ANightAtTheRoxbury'' revolves around getting past the tremendous line in front of the eponymous club.
* ''{{Goodfellas}}'' illustrates the benefits of Mafia life when Henry and Karen are whisked past the line to enter the club through the back entrance.
* In ''Film/TheMask'', the [[CoolestClubEver Coco Bongo]] has one.
* In ''LAStory'', Harris can only get a reservation to the new trendy restaurant by being approved by [[ThoseWackyNazis The Fourth Reich Bank.]]
---> '''Mr. Perdue:''' "You think with a financial statement like this you can have the duck?!"
* A deleted scene in ''{{Zoolander}}'' features a long sequence in which the titular character elbows his way through multiple [[WannabeLine Wannabe Lines]] and into progressively smaller and more exclusive VIP sections before finally reaching rival Hansel to deliver a zinger.
* ''KnockedUp'' has something of a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] of the Wannabe Line. Allison and Debbie are trying to have fun for once at a nightclub and the bouncer refuses them entry. Debbie goes on a [[ClusterFBomb wicked]] rant about him not thinking they're "slutty" enough and how pathetic he is. He responds that he hates his job and finds them both immensely attractive, but states that they are still considered too old, and having a pregnant woman (Allison) in the club is preposterous.
[[folder: Literature ]]
* The Black Sun in ''Literature/SnowCrash'' had a crowd of wannabes outside. Being as it was in virtual reality, there was no bouncer, as either you were allowed to walk in or you'd run into an invisible wall.
** There were bouncers, but they were just there to throw people out.
* The Mysterioso in ''Literature/MoonOverSoho'' is an attempt at recreating the atmosphere of a Soho jazz club in TheSixties. With this in mind, The Management hire the toughest bouncers they can find, and basically tell them to let people in based on personal whim. At 11:45, the WannabeLine is ''still'' going on forever. Peter (not wanting to panic the staff and clientele by saying "PC Grant, here on a case") gets through by namedropping his dad, the legendary trumpeter "Lord" Grant.
[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* Subverted in ''QueerAsFolk''. After Brian takes over Babylon, a rival club opens that steals business. He ends up getting renewed interest in the club by establishing a Wannabe Line and only letting attractive young men in. The club is actually completely empty and the ones let in are models Brian hired.
* Showed up in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' in the episode "No Tomorrow" with a twist: the {{Bouncer}} was only letting guys in, because there were so many women already inside that "people are going to think it's a lesbian bar." Ted and Barney immediately ditch their dates to get whisked past the line.
** Showed up earlier in the first season episode "OK Awesome", with three nerdy side characters stuck outside the club as Robin is able to whisk her friends right past them and step outside to make phone calls because she was on the VIP list (until the shift change for the bouncer means that the new guy doesn't recognize her so she gets stuck outside too).
* ''That70sShow'' had this as an A plot, where Eric, Donna, Hyde and Fez try to get into a Studio 54 knock off in Chicago. Donna as the designated hot girl gets in right away but the boys take longer. Fez gets in with his dance moves, Hyde with his anti-conformity speech, and Eric simply because he is Donna's boyfriend (the bouncer couldn't believe she was dating him, and thought they were ''siblings'').
* In ''HomeImprovement'', Tim and Jill go to a club to search for Wilson's niece and the bouncer lets Jill in but not Tim because he's not cool enough. Tim then becomes obsessed with trying to get in. However, said club wasn't a CoolestClubEver, it was a fairly normal looking club.
* ''TheNanny'': Fran and Valerie usually spend their nights off at one of those lines to see celebrities entering. One day, feeling Maxwell needed to get out more, Fran invited him along. Because Fran and Valerie didn't want to drive away potential boyfriends, they asked him to pretend he didn't know them. It backfired on them when ''he'' was let in.
[[folder: Music ]]
* The music video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmxUMcqGGTw Whistle While I Work It]]" (feat. Chester See, Creator/{{Tobuscus}}, and [[Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway Wayne Brady]]) has a group of friends try to get into a club past the line using a flyer, despite the fact that they're a group of dudes without any girls with them. The doorman waves them off in annoyance, and they're forced to go to the back of the long line, with Chester See singing that he "[knows] somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who knows..." They manage to get in hours later, but one of them is not let in, as he's wearing flip-flops. The whole song is about a typical RealLife club-goer (expensive valet parking, long lines, overpriced drinks, dirty bathrooms, too loud to talk, too crowded to dance). Even someone like Wayne Brady ends up being barred from the VIP room despite being recognized.
[[folder: Newspaper Comics ]]
* One appeared in ''PearlsBeforeSwine''. Rat and Zebra got in; [[ButtMonkey Pig]], who'd recently visited a vet instead of a doctor and been given a cone to wear, was not so lucky.
[[folder: Video Games ]]
* The Afterlife club on Omega in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' features a small line of would-be patrons. Shepard goes right in.
* Played straight in the Hamburg night club mission of ''VideoGame/NoOneLivesForever'', with Cait sneaking in by having a friendly patron distract the bouncer so she can climb in through a window.
* The Hive from ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' has a small line, but Jensen has other ways of getting in, including [[AirVentEscape through the vents]], [[AbsurdlySpaciousSewer through the sewers]], and [[HeyYouHaymaker through the bouncer]].
* In front of the Paris dance club in ''VideoGame/KickBeat''. The canon male hero is turned away at the door after implausibly presenting himself as a "friend of the owner" and resorts to a diversion to get in, quickly resulting in a huge fight in the club. Later, the canonical heroine walks past the same line accompanied by admiring comments and is immediately beckoned in by the bouncers. Promptly subverted; the bouncers recognized her as "that troublemaker's partner" and club security is waiting in ambush inside.
[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* Subverted in an episode of ''MissionHill'': frustrated at waiting in line for hours to get in the CoolestClubEver only to be turned away at the door, [[CoolLoser Andy]] has his revenge by setting up a fake club front in an abandoned building across the street and letting no one in at all, except for [[LimitedSocialCircle his friends]], who are all in on it. Pretty soon, the steep exclusivity factor draws a WannabeLine that rivals the real club's, until he fakes a fire gutting the place and ruining him (just before anyone got TOO wise).
* The entire point of an episode of ''SpongeBobSquarePants'', where he tries to prove himself "Tough enough" to enter the club. On the plus side, the line's apparently either very short or very fast, because he gets to make half a dozen attempts to get past the bouncer.
* Penguin's club, The Iceberg Lounge, in the later ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' has such a line. In "Joker's Millions", Barbara and Dick get in by Barbara mentioning her father as the Penguin is walking by. Bruce Wayne is seen in the Lounge later.
* ''SheepInTheBigCity'': General Specific and his soldiers cannot get in the clubs his cousin enters. When Sheep got in, General Specific asked his cousin to held a party at his base to attract Sheep and told his cousin to tell the bouncers to let his friends in. [[ExactWords However, the bouncer was told to let "General Specific's friends" but wasn't told to let "General Specific" in]].
[[folder: Real Life ]]
* TruthInTelevision. Many clubs in RealLife maintain lines like this, whether they're full or not, just to create the ''impression'' that they're cool. And some people do, for various reasons (they're famous, they know the owner, they've paid for the privilege, etc.) get whisked past all that.

You can sand it if you want but that's purely cosmetic. Just do a tidy job when you apply and you should be sweet. All you're doing is preventing water from getting the the wooden core so as long as that happens you're all good.

Pearson 27 Mainsheet system
A friend just bought a Pearson 26. I was checking over the boat and asked about the whereabouts of the main-sheet and block etc.
it appears as if the PO can't find them.
It has end boom sheeting.
It has a traveler on the transom.
We had the boss check the heft of the 3/8" line compared to the 7/16" line and were not surprised to find she preferred the 7/16".
So what is the typical purchase setup on this boat. They are not racing, they are new sailors husband and wife. 4 to 1, more?
The only thing we could find a WM was this:
Part 053 and 058
Little Fiddle Block with Becket, 500lb. SWL, 7.0oz. from HARKEN
But that is only for 3/8" line.
Also I'm not sure that 4 to 1 is enough.
What would you recommend.
I'm going to recommend that they ask the PO to look a little harder for one thing. We are talking couple three hundred.

Ailing Zambian dictator Michael Sata says he will not attend this month's Lozi traditional Kuomboka ceremony because he is tired and needed to rest.
And Mr. Sata has threatened to use his powerful position and pen in sorting-out former Barotse Prime minister Clement Sinyinda and other Barotse activists such as Linyungandambo demanding for the recognition of the Barotse Agreement .
Mr. Sata who has so far mainly been to places where there are his induced by-elections, has missed important national assignments such as the women and youth day celebrations and has now directed that ceremonial vice-president Guy Scott attends on his behalf.
The Zambian president who has largely confined himself inside State House, recently forced and strained himself by travelling to China and later went to Kapiri Mposhi and Lukulu where he only spent a few minutes urging people to vote for PF candidates in the forth-coming by-elections.
In both rallies, Mr. Sata took time to prove that he was fit and healthy and accused opposition leaders of spreading false rumours about his poor health.
But so far, not single opposition leader has said anything about Mr. Sata's healthy, other than his Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba, the man who wants to succeed him.
And speaking when he paid a courtesy call on the Litunga at his palace yesterday, President Sata is quoted by the PF Post newspaper that Sinyinda was also organising people to secede.
"Those people (Indunas) you are responsible. The person who is organising people against the Litunga is your former prime minister.
The person who is organising Linyungandambo secession is your former prime minister. I warn the king, if he attempts to bring him back, then I will use my signature. I have a signature, he knows it very well so if you try bring him back…If he is fighting him, then he is also fighting me and me my hands are much stronger than those of the king. This man did not apply to become a king, he was born a king. What God says shall prevail, let no man put asunder. We are very much ready, we watch him every day," said President Sata.
During the run-up to elections in 2011, Sata declared that the Barotse Agreement was still valid and must be honoured
Commenting on Vice-President George Kunda's meeting with the Litunga, the Ngambela and some senior Barotse Indunas in Limulunga, Sata said the Barotse Agreement was real.
"The Barotse Agreement is still a valid agreement," Sata said. "How can you ignore an agreement that was signed, sealed and delivered almost 47 years ago?"
Sata maintained that the Barotse Agreement was still legitimate and President Rupiah Banda simply needed to show honour by acknowledging its validity and existence.
"There is no honest person who can deny the existence and validity of the Barotse Agreement. And those with honour and integrity honour valid agreements they have entered into whether they still like them or not," Sata said. "The PF government will honour the Barotse Agreement without hesitation because we have no problems with it. We see nothing wrong with it."

Ba sata was a star. he fucked the whole lusaka. so, its time for him to die. He has very strong AIDS and not the one we have.am praying u die sir.
Sata's balls are rely itching. He cant stand it. If Ba sata can start arvs fast the better. Other wise, am praying for him to die. You know, sata should check his cd 4 count imediately. The man has rerely fucked around. He has children in Ndola kuli ba bishop mpundu, ba former ms sata head teacher kamwala, constance chisonta, and so on and so forth. So mudala should just go for vct. coz, even ba dr.kaseba was a big [prostitute pa ridgeway.
How many people are living positively and benefiting from the ARVs that President Sata lobbied for?. look at your health before you look at the sickness of another person. We shall all die one day believe it or not.
Saimbende has hit the nail on the head. Yes it seems Imwiko told Sata that he had no powers to reverse the resolutions of the BNC. It was the kutas in the districts that have the power to undo the important resolutions for Barotseland. Sata got annoyed and blustered the Litunga and his Indunas that if they had no such powers, then he was going to use the power of his hand (maybe to sign and let Barotseland go on its own) so that the new Government of Barotseland sorts out the Litunga who has betrayed Sata and his Government due to the loss of billions of Kwachas alleged to have been given to the Litunga for the purpose of undoing the BNC resolutions. Our Litunga should be in a basket without a rim (kazuma kaka sina mwalo) now. Let us wait and see. For sure but, the President was really annoyed with our Litunga even went to the extent of saying he would not attend the Kuombka ceremony for 2013 even after the Indunas were very happy to announce that they have inveted the President of Zambia to attend this year's Kuomboka ceremony. Let us wait and see.

The evolution of those annoying online security tests
A free tutorial website, Duolingo, aims to translate the entire web with the help of people starting to learn a new language. It's a project born out of guilt from the man behind one of the most annoying features of web surfing - those online security checks involving random words.
Duolingo hopes to convince millions of people to work for free and thus translate all web content in a matter of years.
It may sound like an ambitious plan but it's not the first time founder Luis von Ahn and his colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University have enlisted a global workforce to work for nothing.
As a 22-year-old graduate student in 2000, von Ahn invented the Captcha - those distorted images of words and numbers used to sign in to ticketing and social media websites, among others, which users have to decipher to prove they are human.
The software is used by more than 350,000 websites to prevent computer programs from attacking them with spam. In 2007, von Ahn realised that 200 million Captchas were being typed by people all over the world every day.
The evolution of Captcha
- Captcha: Security check of two randomly generated words - stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart
- ReCaptcha: Another security check of one randomly generated word, the other a photo of a word from a text that's being digitised
- Duolingo: Website that uses similar principle applied to language tutorials in order to translate the web
"At first I felt really good about that because I thought, 'Look at the impact that I've had'," he says. "But then I starting feeling bad."
Typing each Captcha takes about 10 seconds, he estimates. Multiply that by 200 million, and humanity as a whole is wasting about 500,000 hours on these security codes every day.
He decided to put these hours to good use and devised ReCaptcha, a system that uses each human-typed response as both a security check and a means to digitise books one word at a time.
At the same time the New York Times was digitising 156 years of its archive using a team of typists. Over a decade, the typists had transcribed 27 years of newspapers. The paper began using von Ahn's software and in 24 months had transcribed the remaining 129 years of archived newspapers.
ReCaptcha was acquired by Google in 2009, and it is still used widely to tell humans and spamming programmes apart. But its translating software is exclusively available to Google's Books project to transcribe every book in the world.
How ReCaptchas work
ReCaptchas use two words - one generated by the computer, the other taken from the pages of an old book, newspaper or journal that the system is digitising.
Each page has to be scanned individually, then run through a programme that transcribes every word. Computers have trouble reading text when pages are more than 50 years old, where paper is torn or yellowed or the typeface faded.
A human can do this easily - but can't always be relied on to get it right. When a user gets the first word right, the system logs their second response.
It then collates the most popular responses from a number of people.
All of that doesn't detract from the fact that for most people, these security codes are nothing more than a frustrating waste of time. For those with dyslexia or sight problems, they can be a serious barrier to internet use.
Dr Sue Fowler, at the Dyslexia Research Trust, says the codes only add to the trouble dyslexics have filling in web forms. "Even looking at it closely, I wouldn't know what to do with it," she says.
There is an audio alternative, but these are even more confusing as most just sound like a flurry of noise.
And the automated security codes are getting more and more difficult. Some of the latest manifestations can appear as a jumbled blur of letters, numbers and punctuation that is almost indecipherable.
"As of a few months ago, if we showed someone a ReCaptcha they were successful at it about 93% of the time," says von Ahn, adding that once that drops to 75%, users give up on trying to access a site.
Since selling ReCaptcha, von Ahn has teamed up with one of his graduate students, Severin Hacker, to create software that gives the user something in return for their time and effort.
The answer is Duolingo, a site that gives free language tutorials and in exchange solicits aspiring linguists to translate sentences from the internet.
At present, it only caters for English speakers looking to learn French, German or Spanish, and Spanish speakers who want to learn English. They start with very simple sentences and work up towards more complex ones, increasing their value as a translator as they progress.
Say what?
- 1.2bn people are learning another language
- With 100,000 active users, von Ahn says Duolingo could translate Wikipedia from English into Spanish in five weeks
- With one million users, it would take about 80 hours
Human input is needed as although computers can translate individual words, they struggle to put these in context and construct sentences that make sense.
"The computer always knows what each word can translate to, all the possibilities - that's just a bilingual dictionary. But the computer doesn't know that in this case, a word means girl, and in that case, it means daughter," says von Ahn.
So when Duolingo presents the user with a sentence, it offers all the possible translations for each individual word. The user has to build the sentence, using their understanding of their native language.
To weed out bad translations, the site asks users to rate each others' answers and chooses only the top-ranked solutions.
Find out more
- Luis von Ahn will appear on The Forum on the BBC World Service at 22.05 on 23 June.
After only a few weeks, users work on real sentences taken from creative commons websites.
And the site has echoes of a computer game. Points are offered for each translation attempted; completing a round earns the user a shiny gold medal; and learners can follow each other, adding a competitive edge.
But is Duolingo really able to teach people enough to reach fluency? Mickael Pointecourteau, an experienced language teacher who has used the software, has his doubts.
"There are some mistakes in their translation from the very first level, which worries me for when users will get to a higher level," he says. "Four main skills must be taken into account when learning a new language - speak, listen, write, read. I doubt this kind of software prepares for that."
Von Ahn, who grew up in Guatemala and is himself bilingual, argues that it will.
"We've been doing a lot of tests and we can get you to the point where you are an intermediate speaker of a language, you can go to a country that speaks that language and you can get around," he says.
"Of course in order to become bilingual you probably need to go to a particular country and live there for a few months, it takes that level of practice."
For some people, Duolingo will be nothing more than a game or distraction from work, but von Ahn believes its potential goes far beyond that.
"In the US and in the UK too, learning a language is more of a hobby. In South America you learn a language, particularly English, to make more money and to climb the social ladder."
He hopes his software will offer that leg-up to some who can't otherwise afford it.
Luis von Ahn will appear on The Forum on the BBC World Service at 22:05 GMT (23:05 BST) on 23 June. Listen to the programme after it has broadcast here.

Are you talking personal weapons only, or are duty weapons included? The .40 Glocks are far and away the most common issue handguns, based on what I've seen and read. The Sig 228/229 is also in the holsters of 10s of thousands of LEOs. If you count the military, add a few thousand more P228s and a few hundred thousand Beretta 92s.
And I think Garry's numbers are only indicative of a very small segment of the gun owning/using population - folks with disposable income, a CCW, and a strong desire for high quality products. :)

Hey, Filmmakers! We're Number One!
Hell, we already knew it, but now Moviemaker confirms it: Austin is the number one city in America to be a moviemaker.
Yeah, sorry about that, New York.
The "nation's leading resource on the art and business of making movies and the world's most widely read independent movie magazine" announced today that this is the best place, not just to make films, but to be a person that makes films. Not like we're complaining, but how did we beat out established markets and creative hubs like New Orleans and Los Angeles? Moviemaker had a simple set of criteria for its ruling: They were looking for "an affordable, intellectually vibrant community that gives tax incentives for in-city or in-state production, and which offers moviemakers access both to equipment and groundbreaking film screenings."
So creative center? Check. Tax and creative incentives at the state and local level? Check? Production space and facilities? C'mon, have you seen Austin Studios even before the new build-out, not to mention their Troublemaker neighbors? Double-check. And considering Austin is one long rolling festival season, and we have Austin Film Society, Violet Crown and the Alamo Drafthouse, this remains a cineaste's affordable dream.
In the survey released, Austin's remarkable filmmaking alumni were listed, and laid out exactly why this is a great place to create: Established names like Richard Linklater, the Duplass brothers, Terrence Malick and Robert Rodriguez rub shoulders with a host of talents hoping to break out at SXSW, like Andrew Bujalski (Computer Chess) and David Gordon Green (Prince Avalanche). Hell on Wheels director Bob Ray praised the other half of the equation: The people who come out to watch the films those talents create. He told Moviemaker, "The audiences in Austin are some of the best in the world and folks come out and support the film scene with a passion. On top of that, the University of Texas cranks out a new breed of moviemakers every year; add that to the locals and the transplants and we have a hell of a film scene in Austin."
Yup. What he said.
Read the full results of exactly who we beat here.

Australian Gun Law Update
Submitted by legalizeliberty on Fri, 01/04/2013 - 13:49From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia
Hi all, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under.
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.
The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,
Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.(Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, so the criminals still possess their guns!)
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.
Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in 'successfully ridding Australian society of guns....' You won't see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.
The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note Americans, before it's too late!

Sorry to burst the bubble
Sorry to burst the bubble here, but this is either fake or at the very least out of date. Gun laws haven't been touched here in more than a decade.
Even if they had, Australia's culture and history is so different to yours that especially in relation to guns, very little can be drawn from this.
Best of luck seeing this threat to your culture and liberty off.

statistics for england
The cited diagram depicting the rise in England's crime rate is explained on the Australian government's website as "the direct result of major changes to the way crime data are recorded in the England and Wales".
If that was the case, why does the crime rate continue to rise for 6 years? Did the government change the way of recording data for 6 consecutive years? I think whether or not the gun ban is a reason for the dramatic increase is a matter of speculation without further data.
- Login to post comments
I think it's important for pro-gun people to realize that the basis of any argument against gun laws can never be statistics. In discussions I always try to get away from any statistical discussions back to the core of the issue: the freedom of a person to defend themselves and their family. Since violence and therefore weapons will never fully disappear, there will always be people around who want to harm other people. Therefore we need the right to be armed.
This approach saves us from embarrassing mistakes evaluating difficult and/or flawed statistical data.

ok, so if snopes is incorrect
and I certainly don't doubt that it could be, then what are the correct numbers? We really need to get this right, so we can better make our case. There is no way we can provide an intellectual arguement without accurate data.
Request to DP detectives to find the real numbers on Australia's real crime rates.
Note, if Snopes can be bias, most certainly the Australian gov is as well. We need to find multiple sources of 3rd party numbers. And see how they match up.

Alcoa Technology Puts Aerospace-Grade Aluminum On Mobile Devices
Alcoa (NYSE: AA) has developed a proprietary surface finishing technology that enables consumer electronics companies to use aerospace-grade aluminum to make thinner, lighter and stronger mobile devices.
Alcoa's new ProStrength™ Finishing Technology is a process that allows mobile device manufacturers to design clear or color-anodized durable surfaces utilizing high-strength, heat treatable aluminum alloys used in the aerospace and defense industries. Using high strength alloys could reduce the thickness and weight of a device by more than 50 percent.
Device size as well as design look and feel are significant factors for consumers in making purchasing decisions on consumer electronics. Both features were identified as important by more than 50 percent of consumers surveyed by Accenture on the importance of features to purchase decisions. (Source: The 2013 Accenture Consumer Electronics Products and Services Usage Report)
"Consumer electronics makers had been exploring ways to create beautiful anodized finishes on aerospace-grade aluminum alloys because they are among the strongest, yet lightest metals available," said Ray Kilmer, Executive Vice President and Alcoa Chief Technology Officer. "ProStrength's anodized finish creates the metallic look and feel that consumers prefer, and the high-strength aluminum allows manufacturers to produce thinner, lighter, and more durable enclosures."
According to Leighton Cooper, Director of Technology at the Alcoa Technical Center, the Company's expertise in aluminum finishing and close ties to the consumer electronics industry was critical in reaching this development milestone. "ProStrength™ Finishing Technology brings together the perfect combination of aesthetics and function," he said. "Being able to use aerospace-grade alloys promotes the growing trend for ever thinner and lighter mobile devices." Alcoa developed its ProStrength™ Finishing Technology at the Alcoa Technical Center, the world's largest light metals R&D facility located outside Pittsburgh. The company has worked with the world's leading consumer electronic (CE) companies and designers to enable the use of aluminum in mobile devices. Aluminum's penetration in the CE market has grown as OEMs look to its aesthetic qualities, light weight and ability to dissipate heat, all of which enhance the durability, performance and attractiveness of devices for consumers.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Gamefly, the online rental service that takes too long to ship things to our apartment, now has a release date for the adorable Ninjatown: October 16th of this year. This is the first we've heard of even a ballpark release date for the action/strategy/awwwww game based on Shawn Smith's characters. Gamefly tends to know their stuff, too, so if this release date turns out to be inaccurate, it's probably because the publisher changed it.
Now that we know when the game is coming out, we can start budgeting our expenditures of hundreds of Pocket Staches and plush ninjas versus the actual game.

Excellent article. While it doesn't quite add too much new to the understanding of the whole China-US situation, this was written very well.
I wonder what the dynamics would be like between the US and China if the US never got caught up in all those wars in the Middle East.
Stupid prisoner's dilemma. We'd all be better off if nobody expanded their military, but as long as someone might defect, everyone is in a worse situation.
To vivazapata:
You said and I quote:
........ The US isn't going anywhere......
China should establish a colony on Mars, in fact several. But stay clear of the Moon. It belongs to the US."
You also said:
"There are elections in Afghanistan......"
After world war II, U.S. is more than 50% of world economy, as of today, U.S. is around 22% of world economy, China is around 9% of world economy.
China is growing double digit in the past 30+ years and U.S. is growing very little. In another 10 years, I do not know who will be the biggest economy in the world....
U.S. is running 14 trillion dollar government deficit, 76 trillion dollar Medicare deficit, if you add all the deficits of states, county and cities, social security deficit, credit cards debts, student loan's debts, home mortgage debts, etc...... U.S. is several hundred trillions dollar in debts.
Within a few years, the entire U.S. government budget may not be able to pay for the interest on these debts, if interest rate raises, the situation could be worse.
China has trillions after trillions of foreign reserve and no student loan debts, no Medicare debts, etc...... China is in much stronger position in the near future.
I hear on the news that China is building jumbo jet to compete with Boeing and Air Bus, China is building her own space station (not the international space station built by the rest of the world). China is planning to send human to the moon in a few years, they are building 15 nuclear submarines, 3 aircraft carriers, and the list goes on and on....
The days of British sold opium to China back in 1840 are gone, the days of French burned China's palaces are gone, all the western powers bully China in the past 200 years are gone.
I think U.S. will reduce the bases around the world, because U.S. economic situation just can not afford it.
I saw a article on Time magazine few issues back, U.S. is closing many NASA's facilities, so U.S. is not send anyone to the moon in the near future.
Yes, Afghanistan has elections, but they are more votes than people in certain voting places, Afghanistan is growing more opium than ever. One U.S. Marine made a wrong turn in the capital Kabul, he drove into Taliban territory and got killed. The body guards of president Karzi are American contractors. This is non-president of a non-election, with non-military of country under occupied.
What a sad joke!!!!!
After the Economist has unreservedly promoted "free trade" now it's worried about China the rising of which is fully due to free trade.
Are we supposed to buy into this madness?
Cutting off rare earth exports to Japan? Is Japan entitled to these resources? China has systematically denied life-saving technologies by Japan and the US. Are poor Chinese peasants dying of disease and pollution entitled to these technologies? Sadly no.
The Japanese public has been fed a constant stream of Cold War nationalism funded directly by the US- there is considerable research on this fact. China keeps popular nationalism on tap in order to check this inflated jingoism from the LDP-US axis.
As for Taiwan? Taiwan was not a real democracy until 2000, and from 2000-2008 was ruled by a class of clowns and habitual parasites who played identity politics and sucked the blood of of the Taiwanese. Before then Taiwan was ruled by KMT dictatorship, and the 228 incident dwarfs Tiananmen. They had a nascent nuclear program and strongly opposed the PRC ideologically. The PRC and ROC have no reason not to be suspicious of one another but they are managing to get along better in recent times.
And India was never invaded. Nehru provoked that war by the reckless posturing of both troops and rhetoric. China was forced to act; this is all detailed in documents released in 2008 by the CIA. Do some googling.
And why are Qing claims legitimate? Because specifically, the Qing was highly Sinicized, signed off all its land to the ROC, and literally forced millions of Chinese people into Mongolia, Tibet and Manchuria to shore up defenses against brutal European invaders. The PRC's only contribution to demographic change has been a one-child policy targeted at the Han Chinese, from which minorities were exempt- slowly reversing the policies of the Manchu court.
This is a first in human history. Any European power would have subjected these populations to flooding, apartheid, sanctions, deportations/relocations, mass murder, forced sterilizations and Holocaust.
I hope you are not a so-called liberal because by now you should recognize what real progressive policy looks like.
Why RIVAL instead of PARTNER?
Word to all Economist editors and journalists(as well as NYTimes, CNN, MSNBC) aka cold war relics, arrogant self-righteous liberals and free Tibet hippies -- STOP SMOKING THE POT!! I don't care if it's legal, it's making you paranoid! These "red commie bastards" are these days the world's biggest capitalist pigs and all they want is a piece of the prosperity pie! Either see them as a rival and be paranoid about them eating your slice or see them as a partner and grow the pie bigger together so everyone can take a bigger slice!
Smarten up you paranoid delusional cold war relics. America doesn't need more enemies, even imagined ones!
The US will lose interest in maintaining a military presence in Asia before Japan, India, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia want the US to leave. Without the US as a silent partner and protector all of those nations would need to arm and ally to avoid dominance by China, which is a chief foreign policy goal for all of those nations. Every time China arms further, it pushes first the US to increase its presence. As the US loses relative economic power and it friends gain wealth, those other nations will arm themselves instead. Yes, the US should ideally pursue a path where its military presence in Asia is gradually drawn down, but this will only happen if China convinces its neighbors that it will not attempt to throw its weight around. Just because China can build the capability to project military power doesn't mean that it is in it's best interest to do so. The economic burden of maintaining its Asian presence will eventually lead the US to reduce its forces, but only if China is convincing in its neighborliness. Committing to an amicable, rather than a military, solution on Taiwan would build tremendous confidence in the region.
The US historically goes to war and/or offers aid when a democratic regime is threatened by a non-democratic regime. It firmly believes that democratic countries will want to be like and be friends with the US, perhaps naively. It also has gone to war or provided aid when a rival great power attempts to put in place a non-democratic regime which will be a client to the rival power, even if the current regime is not democratic (Afghanistan, Vietnam, S. Korea). If China used military force to put in place a subservient new government in Myanmar, Laos, Mongolia or North Korea, the US would react by escalating military containment of China and supporting rebel movements in those client countries. That could eventually lead to conflict if a government in the region collapsed into civil war and China and the US chose sides.
The rules according to the US hegemon are that China is allowed to exercise economic and cultural influence with its neighbors as it sees fit, although bullying will raise tensions (but not lead to war). If the Chinese military and military aid stays inside China, the US military will keep its distance. Enhanced capabilities for power projection will trigger enhanced capabilities for defence against that projection. Inciting changes in government and backing sides in civil wars is a red line not to cross.
Is this fair? Not entirely, as the US has not always followed its own rules. It justifies its actions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Bosnia, Grenada, and Panama by trying to set up representative governments there, rather than clients. It regrets Chile, and promises not to do it again. The US is allowed to behave this way because the rest of the world prefers living under US protection than living under no protection, despite the grumbling.
If China wishes to become a regional or global hegemon and make its own rules, it must convince the world that its system of governing and its treatment of smaller countries is superior to the American system. Military power is how the US enforces its will around the world, but it can do so only because the American system of global governance is accepted by most countries. If China wishes to become a hegemon, it must demonstrate through economic aid and regional cooperation that it has a reasonable and fair set of rules for governing the region. Only then will a military buildup be accepted with equanimity, and China's power will displace America's in Asia.
Many commenters here feel compelled to point out the competition between the US and China has taken an adversarial twist.
How infinitely to be preferred are trade wars to nuclear exchanges! How supremely to be desired are espionage to bloodshed!
Let the Chinese do their worst in these arenas. The US knows a thing or two about how tweak its opponents as well.
To Simon says:
You said and I quote:
Your comment is full of mistakes....
...... You clearly do not understand the difference between an exclusive economic zone and territorial waters. Exclusive economic zones give a nation the exclusive right to exploit minerals, fish, etc. from an area off its coast defined by some distance (I believe about 200 nautical miles - 370 km) or based on the extent of the continental shelf. However, the nation does not have the right to control passage of ships or planes through these areas. They are international waters and airspace when it comes to transit or any non economic activities.....
..... China may not like these surveillance aircraft operating so close, but it is legal. Further, the more we know about what China is doing, the less we have to guess, and the less we have to do militarily based on worst case assumptions......
.......... So, please do a little reading about international law before you start spouting off about these issues. If you want to complain that China simply doesn't like US planes flying close for surveillance that's fine. But don't claim the US is violating any international laws. Outside 12 nm, we can do whatever we want. You may argue it is not friendly or wise, but it is legal."
Legally speaking, surveillances are legal in international water. I am just wondering what people in U.S. might think, if one day, China has 12 aircraft carriers surroundings U.S. outside 12 nm? Send surveillance airplane all day in the sky?
It is funny, who elects US to be the judge and police of the world? Why U.S. has the rights to the surveillances of every country around the world? Why CIA operates the covert activities around the world and ignores the international law by opearing secret jail in many countries? Where is Mass Destruction Weapons in Iraq? I hear Italy was very upset that U.S. arrest Italian in Rome? operates illegal jail in Poland, Hungry and Italy? Is it legal for U.S. to invade Afghanistan and Iraq? The list of questions goes on and on.....
U.S. asked other countries to follow international law, but, US breaks the international laws whenever he likes or operates on the borader of international law or within the laws setup by U.S.....
Saying that China backs the slaughter of rhinoceros is simplistic. China is one of the few nations in the world that will put PEOPLE to death for killing specific animals. Poaching warrants the death penalty in China in some cases.
Rhinoceros poaching is driven in a large degree by fleeting consumer trend, it is not sanctioned by the state. The West's rampant destruction of nature and utter hypocrisy on all fronts be it conservation or climate change however, is truly destructive to species all over the world.
The West is not only responsible for countless extinctions on every continent, but nearly all of the world's endangered and dying languages and cultures are held under Western tyranny.
China is again, taking great pains to lower their environmental impact despite being a developing nation. When the West was developing, they slaughtered animals for laughs and herded human beings into death camps.
Today's China is not one ruled by Mao, nor is it the Middle Kingdom which thought that all the surrounding states were inhabited by worthless barbarians. Today's China and her people are working hard to catch up with the USA and the rest of western world to become wealthy. It wouldn't make sense to start waging a war against one's customers, from the Chinese or the American point of view. Waging wars is altogether for a different economic situation, but never good in trying to entice one's prospective customers to purchase either new Cadillacs, BigMacs or inexpensive goods at Target. The new Silk Road has a two-way traffic and it is up to every country to make sure that there are no inconvenient traffic jams on that highway.Somebody said that 'it is glorious to become rich' so let's everybody try and do so, with smooth talking sales people, not with soldiers.
"The Chinese are ruthless competitors, and tend to to associate themselves with their compatriots, leaving little room for inter-cultural partnerships."
Staggering arrogance. You are saying the Tibetans, Mongols, Miao, Zhuang are not cultures. You are saying the many varied regions of China, speaking their different dialects and languages, are not cultures. You are saying the Hui, in their millions, and in their thousand and more years in China, are not a culture.
The truth is, China is far more multicultural and open-minded than almost all other nations.
Enough with your pompousness.
There is no dispute. The Spratlys, Tibet (all of it), Paracels and Diaoyutai/Senkaku were part of the Qing Dynasty and part of the ROC.
They are not disputes any more than Mexican Nationalist claims of Aztlan are a legitimate dispute with the United States. With the exception of the Senkakus, this is China showing incredible restraint towards the opportunistic, usurious nationalist revisionism of neighbors. This is China showing it is cool-headed despite endless provocations from a hostile "international" consensus crafted by the multi-trillion industry we call Western propaganda.
It should go on the record that few, if any, nations have ever tolerated such nonsense.
Wrong on all points (return them to Fox News after you are done, but don't forget to wash them)
1) China does not want to rule the world. Only idiots want to rule the world.
2) China has traditionally been the freest nation on earth. Most Chinese were free men with slave population peaking at less than 2%, while every single West Eurasian polity from the dawn of time has relied on some sort of miserable underclass to do all the hard work for them.
3) Freedom is second to survival
I hate to resort to name-calling. However, as a 15-year reader of The Economist, I have to say this is one of the most stupid, sensationalist articles it has ever published.
Until I got to the end, I still believed I was reading some sort of satirical piece a la The Onion. The Dangers of a Rising China? Dangerous to whom, exactly? Compared to other countries, China despite its size has been a remarkably well-behaved and responsible global citizen.
Think of all the other countries that have invaded other nations over the past 100 years. America, UK, Germany, Japan, Iraq, the USSR. Not China. Apart from being strict about Tibet and Taiwan (which it considers historically a part of itself) China has not invaded anybody, does not garrison the world (like another superpower we can name).
If any superpower should be considered dangerous it is the one currently fighting two wars, and which has military bases around the world. In international diplomacy, China studiously respects the sovereignty of other nations. Unlike someone else. China is often the peacemaker that keeps North Korea well-behaved while the US provokes confrontation.
In matters of trade, since joining the WTO, China has become a positive force for the global economy, as benign in business as it is in politics. It is a major trading partner for the US and invests the bulk of its surplus cash in US securities. US economic growth means more customers for China's manufacturing output. So how exactly are the US and China 'rivals'?
You would think The Economist would be the one magazine to recognize that international trade is not a zero-sum game. It is win-win for both China and the US, and you admit China has no expansionist ambitions, and is not pursuing nuclear weapons. So what exactly is this silly article about, beyond drumming up sensationalist controversy?
It is with great self-control that I refrain from calling the writer of this article very pejorative names.
Vietnam not only began a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Chinese living in Vietnam, they encroached on a state aligned with China (Cambodia). It must be said that the horrors committed by Pol Pot were entirely provoked by the United States dropping millions upon millions upon millions of bombs on the heads of Cambodian men, women, children and babies without the consent of the American public. Many of these deaths were attributed to Pol Pot's infamous regime, no doubt, just as the slaughter of South Korean civilians carried out by the ROK under American supervision was pinned on the North from the beginning of the war up until 2008.
There was no opportunity missed. The British by then were experts at wringing human beings for profit. They lost India because they were wholly despised by all Indians and because WW2 shattered their empire. It should be noted that India, throughout her thousands of years of history, could really only be united by a common hatred for their English colonial masters.
Zimbabwe is at least independent. It is not like other parts of Africa were "generous", "selfless" whites monopolize the entire economy. Zimbawbe and Sudan are sanctioned by arrogant colonials who then blame the result of their economic terrorism on a convenient scapegoat. You would expect a good nation to own up for the consequences of its actions, but instead Westerners gleefully wipe their bloody hands off on China's coat while supporting dictators in any nation that will feed their financial markets or obscene hunger for the world's natural resources.
Technically you are right. Technically, every culture lives in the United States. But as we can see from history, it only breeds hatred and extremism. White supremacists and minorities are oil and water. The depth of America's depravity toward all minorities of all kinds is beyond the scope of this forum.
Truthfully every newcomer is sized up and melted down by American dimes-and-pennies, all-for-profit logic. They have Indians and Chinese to grind out IT work. They have an abused underclass of revolving-door "illegals" to do soul destroying labor. They had blacks for slave labor. Most others are tax cows in some form or another, or fresh corpse reserves for American banker/jingoist wars.
Some people are the workers. Some are the planners. Some are the fuel, the fire, of the melting pot. As it has been said before, most minorities are wood or coals used to heat the pot, they are never actually allowed into the pot itself.
It doesn't matter if these atrocities are remembered or forgotten. What matters is if the people remembering act accordingly. Rome expanded, colonized, overextended itself financially and militarily. America repeats all of their mistakes. What's different is that America, as a post-industrial society, repackages atrocities instead of doing the necessary hard work and hard thinking. We don't see the faces of Iraqi civilians who are killed on the streets every day, nor do we see the abject poverty of Native American reservations. Media and politics doesn't allow that.
China will let down its guard when America tames its belligerent rhetoric, when America pulls in its military bases, when America stops spending more money on the military than the next 10-20 powers combined, when they stop funding terrorist attacks in China, then they stop murdering Chinese civilians, when it stops its physical encirclement of China, when Americans stop hating and mistreating their minorities and especially Chinese minorities, and when she dismantles some of its 20,000 nuclear ICBMs aimed at murdering billions of Chinese civilians in an instant.
China will never stand alone because China is comprised of hundreds of cultures, religions and races who have lived beside each other, sometimes peacefully and sometimes not, for thousands of years.
The mostly peaceful co-existence between Great Britain and the US had some unique features. Great Britain had to worry about Europe, Asia (centered around India) and Africa. The US was focused on developing its interior and to a lesser extent the Pacific, China and the rest of the Americas. Outside of some economically worthless islands in the Caribbean, the only real point of contention was the US-Canadian border. The US kept a very tiny army during this period. However, the US Civil War showed Great Britain what could happen if the US really went to war. Only the area between the Oder and Volga during WWII lost a higher percentage of its population then the American South during the Civil War. From 1865 through WWI the US and Britain had some spats, and while not pushovers, Britain always found a way to reach a compromise. In summary, the US and Britain never had much to fight over and both sides knew the cost would be terrible if they did.
Outside of Burma and Tibet, US and Chinese foreign interests have a lot of overlap. Even in Central and South America, the ignored backyard of the US, China is trying to make diplomatic inroads. The PLA is considerably larger then the US military pre-WWII. China has ICBMs and nuclear weapons. I don't see any parallels, but that is not what I worry about.
I think a more appropriate parallel is between Athens and Sparta. Not because they were two powers with radically differing philosophies, but because of how their rivalry ended. When Athens and Sparta went to war, Pericles designed a long-term strategy that would have eventually overcome Spartan military prowess. An outside event, plague in Athens, doomed what would have been the winning strategy. I expect an outside development, to upset the balance between the US and China. I don't think it will be a super plague, I think technology will alter the playing field. Advances in artificial intelligence and robotics will make China and the rest of the developing world less and less important as producers of consumer goods. The US and Europe have already lost all of the jobs most easily replaced by automated labor. China and the developing world still count on these jobs and have massive populations counting on them. The social disruption will focus the concerns of the Chinese Communist Party inward. The problem facing the US will be a developing world disintegrating into social unrest. If it disintegrates like the Middle East, where the West is blamed, the internal unrest could explode outward. That is my fear.
Subash, that may be true of Western history, but it certainly is not of China's. China is really only expansionist when it is ruled by foreigners; the rare times strictly native dynasties have attacked other nations are either punitive missions or rogue elements breaking off and setting up base in neighboring regions. An example, when Goguryeo raided northern China and sided with Turkic speaking invaders and plunderers the Sui launched a justified war against them which essentially continued late into the Tang Dynasty.
As for the original article, to continually lambaste China for staking its rightful claim to the Spratlys/Paracels is a farce. The ROC also claims these islands, as they have been staked and fished by South Chinese for hundreds of years.
After reading the comments I only see an ego war.
From outside, I only see the fail to recognize their own flaws as a flaw on itself.
Failing to recognizing past mistakes implies that those mistakes are to be repeated.
What damage did South America to USA? USA trained dictators on the School of Americas, to slaughter his own people. Not just Chile, but also Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brasil, Peru, Bolivia…
So reading somebody pretending that USA stands for democracy, and using it even to justify the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan it's scary. It really it's scariest.
China supported the maoist terrorist group Sendero Luminoso, but I no more expect China to repeat that. (Anyways, I would thank words of remorse and promises of not repeating it).
Meanwhile, on the last years USA supported Chavez state coup against the oldest continous democracy of Latin America, and after it, supported another coup against democratically elected Chavez.
Just in 2009 USA supported another state coup in Central America, despite it chilling the spine of most Latin countries, even more than the coup itself.
It seems that USA learnt nothing. The School of the Americas is still training criminals (under another name), and I don't expect any apologies, neither recognition of misbehaving. It seems that USA still wants to do it on the future.
Not so long, Bush babbled about human rights on Cuba, meanwhile setting a torture center on Gunatánamo (Cuba).
Why he considered that Latin America is the right place to violate human rights?
Why he doesn't even cares a bit about showing such level of hypocrisy?
It's the scariest thing to see that our own life's value nothing. That USA not even care about we seeing that.
When we see The Economist arguing against China because of the trade restrictions to Japan over the disputed islands, I also see that Japan had no remorse about capturing a Chinese citizen over the disputed waters. The Economist doesn't care.
Probably it worked on the world after the Second War, when paper-readers could easily manipulated.
But today is to easy to hear the other side, that lack of objectivity only debase the own journalist prestige.
About the sinking of the Cheonan, the Chinese press says it clearly: China asked to be part of the investigation, and USA refused. Of course, China cannot endorse USA argumentation that North Korea sank the ship, if USA refuses to allow verification of it.
Why USA refused? It makes nonsense, unless something was not right.
By lacking objectivity, The Economist looses credibility, and the argumentation.
It's naïve to think that readers are as naïve as 20 years ago. Times change. Adaptation to Internet is not only about how to keep making money. It's about conserving credibility. Otherwise The Economist turns as valuable as The Sun.
Absolute Neophyte, I'm sure some uneducated hippie will scream about the "invasion" of Tibet in 1949.
Since that comment will undoubtedly be posted, I will preempt my reminding everyone that the PRC had to "re-invade" every region under Qing/ROC control after the Civil War.
The Lhasa regime was in no way a legitimate government, legally or morally.

Skull showing keyhole gunshot trauma, about 1861-1865. Civil War Collection. Tangential entrance wounds into bone may produce "keyhole" defects with entrance and exit side-by-side, so that the arrangement of beveling can be used to determine the direction of fire. The term ballistic trauma refers to a form of physical trauma sustained from the discharge of arms or munitions. The most common forms of ballistic trauma stem from firearms used in armed conflicts, civilian sporting and recreational pursuits and criminal activity. Trauma a body wound or shock produced by sudden physical injury, as from violence or accident.
