The Curse of the Cat PeopleMonday, November 15th, 2010
Released – March, 1944
Directed By – Gunther von Fritsch, Robert Wise
Starring – Simone Simon (Ghost of Irena), Kent Smith (Oliver 'Ollie' Reed), Jane Randolph (Alice Reed), Ann Carter (Amy Reed).
Description – The Black Menace Creeps Again!
Although having many of the same characters this is mostly an unrelated sequel to the original Cat People.
After the death of his wife Irena (the original cat woman) Oliver Reed has remarried former co-worker Alice Moore. The couple have a six-year-old daughter named Amy. Amy is a troubled child who has a difficult time telling fantasy from reality. She also has an imaginary friend – her father's deceased first wife Irena.
Amy also meets and befriends aging actress Julia Farren who may also be a cat woman. Amy's imaginary friend along with her meeting with Julia surely must be more than just coincidence.
NOTABLE: The Curse of the Cat People was produced with a very small budget and some of the sets used were from Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons.
The original Cat People was an enormous success and although this story has little to do with the original, Columbia discounted producer Val Lewton's original title 'Amy and her Friend' in order to capitalize on the original films popularity.
Personal Note: Considered a film in the horror genre, The Curse of the Cat People is more of an atmospheric, moody story about a lonely little girl who is, at first, befriended and ultimately haunted by spirits.

President Obama's top aide addressed the latest controversy over contraception coverage, saying on CBS News' "Face the Nation" Sunday that the latest iteration of the new rule will go forward.
Obama walked back on a policy that would have forced religious-affiliated institutions such as universities and hospitals to cover contraceptives in their employee insurance plans, saying Friday that those institutions will be allowed exemptions.
Under the amended law, religious organizations will not be required to provide contraceptive coverage, pay for it, or refer employees to places that would offer it. The onus will be placed on the employers' insurance companies, who will be required to offer women contraceptive coverage directly and free of charge if their employer will not.
The compromise was not enough for Catholic bishops and Republicans, who called for Obama to renounce the rule completely.
"There's no compromise here," GOP candidate Rick Santorum said. "They are forcing religious organizations, either directly or indirectly, to pay for something that they find is a deeply, morally, you know, wrong thing. And this is not what the government should be doing."
Republicans have introduced legislation in the Senate that would allow any organization--religious or not--to opt out of providing birth control coverage on moral grounds. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday he's pushing for a vote on the legislation.
House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Ryan Paul said there are enough votes in the House to pass similar legislation.
A recent poll by the Public Religion Research Institution has found that a majority of Americans agree that "employers should be required to provide their employees with health care plans that cover contraceptives and birth control at no cost."
The Obama administration is including contraceptive coverage under the umbrella of "preventative services," which the Affordable Care Act will require insurance companies to cover without co-pays or deductibles. Many women use the pill for health reasons unrelated to pregnancy prevention.

Majority Democrats in the Maine Legislature today vowed to introduce a bill next year to expand the state's Medicaid program. The announcement came as a response to Gov. Paul LePage, who this week cited a study to support his refusal to allow expansion of the program under the federal Affordable Care Act. Democratic leaders say increasing health care options for poor Mainers under Medicaid will ultimately reduce state costs. But LePage maintains that taxpayers will carry the burden of added Medicaid expenses, and the program still won't be able to serve those most in need. A.J. Higgins has more.
Gov. LePage says expanding Medicaid would help mostly younger men, smokers and heavy drinkers at the expense of the elderly and the disabled. But Maine House Speaker Mark Eves says the governor is wrong. Eves says the governor is simply looking for political cover at a time when increasing numbers of Mainers are demanding policies that provide more health care - not less.
"For months, he made one excuse after another to deny and delay healthcare to Maine people - now he is feeling the heat," said Eves, who was joined by Assistant Senate Majority Leader Anne Haskell during a State House press conference.
Both legislative leaders pledged to introduce another bill next year that would expand healthcare coverage - especially to the 25,000 Mainers who will lose their benefits on Jan. 1 as the result of action taken by the governor. Although an expansion bill was supported earlier this year by Republicans, many of those lawmakers switched their votes to support LePage after he vetoed the bill in June.
Eves says the state is projected to save nearly $700 million from the new proposed expansion, and that the bill would cover nearly 70,000 Maine people over the course of a decade. And Eves says Maine is one of 10 states that would see Medicaid expenditures go down over 10 years if the expansion is approved.
"Poll after poll shows that Maine people support expanding Medicaid, and many are angry that Republican lawmakers didn't stand up to LePage to support critical health care," said Eves. "Maine people understand that increasing access to programs like Medicaid and Medicare means more Maine families can afford to go see a doctor when they are sick."
And Eves says the expansion of Medicaid would add financial stability to the state's hospitals, which would receive millions in additional funding. Eves says at a time when every healthcare dollar counts, Maine can hardly afford to say no to federal help.
"Maine will lose out on $700,000 per day - that's $500 a minute and that adds up to be $256 million a year," Eves said. "The hospitals have the most to gain out of anybody out of this."
"Those are exactly the same arguments that they made a decade ago when they talked about Medicaid expansion back then," says House Republican Leader Ken Fredette. "There would be less charity care, we would cover more people. None of those arguments proved out to be accurate."
House Republican Leader Ken Fredette says Republicans will stand their ground in opposition to Medicaid expansion. He says Maine already exceeds the national average in the percent of its residents receiving Medicaid services, and that the state simply cannot afford to cover its share of future costs under expansion.
The Department of Health and Human Services has projected those future costs at more than $300 million dollars over a three-year period. And Fredette challenges the claim by Democrats that Mainers support expanded healthcare services for young, childless adults.
"I think that when you talk to people on the street, people are really upset," Fredette says. "When they actually do go into Wal-Mart or they go into Hannaford Brothers, they see these young people that are able-bodied people. They've got their carts full of food and what not, and they're going through and paying for that with government dollars. You know, people see it every day."
Gov. LePage also weighed in on the Democrats' renewed efforts to expand Medicaid, saying that party leaders were "trying to buy votes by promising something they can't deliver."

Module Position
From Joomla! Documentation
Revision as of 09:28, 24 June 2013 by Tom Hutchison (Talk | contribs)
<translate> A module position is a placeholder in a template. Placeholders identify one or several positions within the template and tell the Joomla! application where to place output from modules assigned to a particular position. The template designer has complete control over module positions, creating variations between templates and the respective Joomla! default positions assigned to modules in the installation sample data.
For example, the module position Left could be defined to be on the left side of the template to display a site navigation menu. So if a module is assigned the Left position, it will be displayed wherever the designer puts that Left module position - not necessarily the left side of the page. </translate>
templateDetails.xml file contains all the installation and core information for a template, including the module positions it utilizes and displays. Here is a brief list of the commonly used names for the various module positions.
<positions> <position>top</position> <position>left</position> <position>right</position> <position>bottom</position> <position>banner</position> <position>syndicate</position> <position>footer</position> <position>user1</position> <position>user2</position> <position>user3</position> <position>user4</position> <position>debug</position> </positions>
Although these are commonly used, it is up to the template developer to choose both a module position name and an accompanying display style. The addition of module positions, as displayed above, is implemented in between the
<positions> and
</positions> tags. In between those tags in the
templateDetails.xml file, add the name of the module position in between a set of
<position> and
</position> tags.
Use and Implementation
A Joomla! template displays a set of modules added to a specific position using the
<jdoc:include /> statement shown below (for further information about
<jdoc:include /> see jdoc statements):
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="name of module position" style="xhtml" />
It's possible to visualize all modules set on a template by calling the
"tp=1" query string on the front-end.
The default module positioning looks like the Module Map

Feb 1st is National Wear Red Day®,
February 1st will mark National Wear Red Day®, a campaign that encourages everyone to wear red to bring awareness to women's heart health. Heart disease is the #1 leading cause of death among women, and since the red dress has now become synonymous with heart health, I thought I'd look all over the web to find some of my favorite dresses and hopefully, inspire you to wear red on Friday. Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so you can recycle your red ensemble for a special date night or anti-Valentine's Day night out with the girls. Note: Men can participate too by wearing a red tie or shirt.

Eco-friendly Locavore – Azalea Inn and Gardens
May 17, 2011 by Teresa Jacobson
Eco-friendly simply means friendly to the environment while Locavore means one who eats food grown or produced locally or within a certain radius (usually 100 miles). Azalea Inn and Gardens is both!
Several years ago we made the commitment with strong encouragement from our son, Joshua, to be more eco-friendly. He contacted a local company to pick up all our recyclable products; he schooled us on cutting down our carbon footprint, on not contributing to our landfills and encouraged the change from tiny plastic bottles of boutique shampoo and conditioner to refillable pumps in the shower and offering guests the opportunity to use towels and sheets for more than just a day. The first month of recycling alone reduced our curbside trash pickup from three large city-provided containers to only one.
Inception: March 18, 2011, First planting March 23, NOGS Tour of Gardens April 29, and May 5, 2011 as another marker.

Foreclosures should be counted in PVA's assessments To the editor: In an article in the Courier-Journal dated April 11, we learn that the Jefferson County PVA has lowered assessments on more than 26,000 homes, citing widespread foreclosures and depressed housing prices. The Jefferson County PVA went on to cite a lack of home sales in the open market meant that new assessments were based largely on the price of homes sold in foreclosure. The article also states that the trend in local land values is not good news for Louisville Metro Government officials.

As part of its nuclear nonproliferation mission, and in support of the American Medical Isotopes Production Act of 2012 (AMIPA), the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) is working to develop a reliable and sustainable means of producing the life-saving medical isotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) without using highly enriched uranium (HEU).
The Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which has unique expertise in nuclear weapons and nuclear material, plays a key role in the U.S. government's comprehensive effort to secure high-priority radiological material.
The National Nuclear Security Administration is responsible for designing and maintaining a nuclear stockpile that is safe, reliable and effective in order to meet the national security requirements outlined by the President.
The primary goal of the W76-1 LEP is to extend the life of the Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) W76 warhead and to complete production no later than the end of fiscal year 2019.
Sweden has been a global leader on nonproliferation, and was one of the first countries to return highly enriched uranium based spent fuel under the U.S. Foreign Research Reactor Spent Nuclear Fuel (FRR SNF) Acceptance Program, which began in 1996 as part of the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).

As one of the leaders in nuclear technology development, Belgium's nuclear program has covered all aspects of nuclear fuel cycle including reprocessing and operated a reprocessing plant between 1966 and 1974.
Between the 1960s and mid-1980s, Italy had an ambitious nuclear power research program which included heavy water, boiling water, light water, and fast reactors. In 1979, Italy signed the NPT which reaffirmed its commitment to be nuclear weapons free.
Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) is used to produce technetium-99m (Tc-99m), a medical isotope that is used in about 100,000 diagnostic medical procedures globally every day. Today, Mo-99 is produced at aging facilities in Europe, Canada and South Africa primarily using highly-enriched uranium (HEU) – a weapons-usable material.
At the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit, the United States, Mexico and Canada announced the successful removal of HEU from Mexico and conversion of the TrigaII Research Reactor to LEU. The HEU removal and reactor conversion were completed with international cooperation from Canada, Mexico and the United States and was supported by the IAEA.
For nearly two decades, the United States and Ukraine have cooperated on a broad range of nuclear security and nonproliferation issues. Ukraine has a long and significant history in supporting nuclear nonproliferation. Starting in 1990s, following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Ukraine voluntarily gave up its remaining nuclear weapons and joined the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty as...
The goal of United States Government's nuclear security programs is to prevent the illegal possession, use or transfer of nuclear material, technology and expertise or radioactive material. Successful nuclear security relies on the integration of technology, policy, operational concepts and international collaboration to prevent acts of nuclear terrorism.

FF Letter Gothic™ Slang supports 50 different languages such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, German and French in Latin and Other scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)
FF Letter Gothic Slang is something of a 90s, grunge re-interpretation of Albert Pingera's FF Letter Gothic Mono and FF Letter Gothic Text designs. FF Letter Gothic Slang was created by Susanna Dulkinys during the design of "Jargon Watch," published by Wired. This was a pocket dictionary for the digerati. Dulkinys writes this about the type: "Jargon is a jumbled form of ephemeral language filled with metaphor. Words are transposed to create another meaning. FF Letter Gothic Slang does the same on the character level. Transposing, flipping and turning letterforms until they appear to be other characters altogether. The longer the text the more fun the font. Don't forget the naughty ligatures!"

Alex Sanchez — the admitted former Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gangster turned Los Angeles anti-gang worker, now accused by the feds of being a "secret shot caller" — has been repeatedly denied pre-trial release. Now his lawyer, Kerry R. Bensinger, has taken the matter to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in a take-no-prisoners brief that (in nice, polite lawyer language) flames trial Judge Manuel L. Real.
The brief scorches a few other targets, including the government's trial lawyers and the principle MS-13 expert witness in the case, Los Angeles Police Department Gang Detective Frank Flores. Flores's testimony about the meaning of wiretaps (Sanchez allegedly directing a "hit" on a renegade gang member) was key in the detention hearings. The defense claims that the government not only got one of the key phone call participants wrong, but Flores misconstrued what happened during the calls.
But Bensinger focuses his flamethrower on the 85-year old Judge Real, stating, "At a minimum, the matter should be remanded for a detention hearing before a different judge."
If the judge did anything right, it escaped counsel's notice.
Reading between the lines, Bensinger is conveying to the appeals court the message that — in his view — Real for whatever reason or reasons is confused or willfully obtuse about what the federal law requires in a bail ("detention") hearing. In short, the brief argues that the trial judge just doesn't "get it."
The 32-page document landed in the appeals court docket less than a week after that court issued an opinion and order applying its own flame to Judge Real. (Bensinger has more to say on the matter — he asked the higher court to allow him to file additional material.) Here is the Los Angeles Times on the matter involving Real and the 9th Circuit (November 14, 2009):
Federal judge criticized for handling of claimants' assets, Los Angeles Times, November 14, 2009
A federal appeals court Friday criticized U.S. District Judge Manuel L. Real for his handling of $33.8 million entrusted to him for victims of the late Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos, calling his accounting "curious" and "filled with cryptic notations" that failed to show what happened to the money.
The three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a new accounting of the disputed assets by a different judge — a rare act of implied censure that Real has now endured at least 11 times in his long judicial career.

The Stakes
The stakes are high for Sanchez in an already complicated case: "Now five months since his arrest, Mr. Sanchez faces an extended pretrial detention as the parties believe this case will not be ready for trial before December 2010."
Unstated is the fact that careers will be on the line in the case. Indicting Alex Sanchez was the rough equivalent of indicting Mother Teresa. If the Sanchez case flames out, the careers of more than one or two on the government's side will hit the silk.
The following are unexpurgated excerpts from the appeals brief on behalf of Sanchez. ("Appellant's Memorandum of Law and Facts In Support [of] Appeal from Detention Order," United States v. Alex Sanchez, United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Docket No. 09-50525, filed November 20, 2009.) Fairly Civil has inserted a minimum of explanatory background. Additional materials on the case can be found in posts here, here, and here.
The government has ten days to reply.
The Basic Claim — Sanchez Was Denied a Fair Hearing
The core of Sanchez's appeal is that he was denied a fair hearing on the only issues relevant to whether he should be released, which are (1) is he a risk of flight, and (2) does he present a threat to persons or a community? Instead, the brief claims, Judge Real essentially held a "mini-trial" on whether Sanchez is guilty of the offenses with which he is charged.
This appeal from an order of pre-trial detention presents the question whether a defendant has been denied his right to a "full-blown adversary hearing" … when the district court limited the hearing to whether the government possessed evidence of the defendant's guilt, foreclosed the defense from rebutting the government's case with contrary evidence, shifted the burden of persuasion, ignored evidence relevant to flight and lack of danger and made only a "conclusory finding" misapplying the statutory presumption.
The Life of Alex
Naturally enough, the brief sketches a factual review of a man grievously wronged by arbitrary and misdirected government conduct:
Mr. Sanchez quit gang life nearly 15 years ago, beginning a journey of redemption leading him to become one of the foremost anti-gang interventionists in the United States. In 2006, he became the Executive Director of Homies Unidos, an organization dedicated to extricating youths from gangs and brokering and maintaining peace in communities afflicted by the scourge of gang violence.
On June 24, 2009, however, Mr. Sanchez, a long time resident of Los Angeles and the 38-year-0ld father of three, was arrested at his home and taken into custody on an indictment charging 24 defendants with various crimes in connection with alleged activities of the Mara Salvatrucha ("MS-13"). Within days of his arrest, over 100 social workers, professors, politicians, clergy, law enforcement and former gang members from around the country raised a chorus of support to release Mr. Sanchez from custody, all attesting to his good character, commitment to peace and ties to the community. This overwhelming support included over $2.5 million dollars in bail pledges and property.
At the detention hearing, the government claimed a chest tattoo indicated Mr. Sanchez had not quit the gang and four phone calls where Mr. Sanchez mediated a non-violent resolution to an intra-gang dispute supposedly evidenced a plot to kill one of the disputants. Announcing "the only determination I have to make on this motion" is "whether or not Mr. Sanchez was there" and "what they were discussing," the district court precluded Mr. Sanchez from rebutting the government's evidence about the significance of his chest tattoo while refusing lay and expert testimony contradicting the government's interpretation of the calls. Focused exclusively on whether there was evidence of Mr. Sanchez's guilt, and ignoring evidence of Mr. Sanchez's extensive ties to the community and reputation as a tireless and effective gang interventionist and violence prevention advocate, the district judge misapplied a statutory presumption, shifted the burden of persuasion, and ignored overwhelming evidence that Mr. Sanchez presents neither a flight risk nor a danger to others.
…the district judge refused to allow evidence on the three critical issues by (1) rejecting defense evidence undermining the inference the government sought to draw from Mr. Sanchez's chest tattoo, (2) rejecting testimony refuting the government's contention Mr. Sanchez spoke to Cameron's killer, and (3) rejecting Mr. Sanchez's proposed expert testimony disputing that the calls relayed "coded" messages.
The Right to Explain "the Physical Evidence": The Tattoo:
The government stressed that "physical evidence," in the form of a chest tattoo, showed Mr. Sanchez was still active in the gang. Rosemarie Ashmalla, the Executive Director of the agency that removed Mr. Sanchez's other tattoos, however, was prepared to testify that a chest tattoo was not evidence of ongoing gang affiliation because the tattoo removal program "had a policy of only removing visible tattoos." Ms. Ashmalla would have affirmed that most gang tattoo removal agencies, including hers, "do not generally remove non-visible tattoos, absent extraordinary reasons." As the head of an agency dedicated to removing gang tattoos (and the agency that removed Mr. Sanchez's visible tattoos), Ms. Ashmalla was in a far better position that the prosecutor to explain the significance of a residual chest tattoo. Rejecting her testimony was error.
The Damning Wiretaps — The Court Erroneously Precluded Mr. Sanchez From Presenting Relevant Expert Testimony to Rebut the Government's Expert.
A focus of the case so far has been the government's wiretaps of four calls in which Alex Sanchez certainly takes a leading role. But the crucial question has developed to be: was that leading role as a mediator and peace-maker or as a "shot caller" pushing the conversation to the ultimate murder in El Salvador of one Walter Lacinos (aka Camaron) by a gangster known as "Zombie"? A close second is whether the government got the wrong "Zombie."
Of critical importance, given the district court's focus on "the content of these [four wire-tapped] conversations" is the district court's refusal to permit Father Greg Boyle's testimony. Fr. Boyle is the Executive Director of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang intervention program in the country, and a nationally recognized gang expert knowledgeable in gang language, interactions and "codes." After listening to the calls and reviewing Det. [Frank] Flores's declaration re-interpreting the calls and the prosecution's arguments based thereon, Fr. Boyle concluded that, rather than corroborating a murder plot, Mr. Sanchez's statements reflected a gang mediator's peacemaking efforts.
The brief argues that the judge erred in declaring Father Boyle's statement not "relevant" to the questions in the detention hearing — a specific case of the judge "not getting it."
The Court Erroneously Rejected Relevant Defense Evidence Explaining the Context of the Conversations in the Four Wire-tapped Calls.
The district court erroneously rejected the testimony of Sonia Hernandez, a witness who knew the government (and Flores) misidentified one of the key participants in the calls, distorting their interpretation of the statements made therein.
The government got its facts wrong. Although both Hernandez and Bonilla used the name "Zombie," the person who killed Camaron was not the person Mr. Sanchez spoke to on May 7. Sonia Hernandez would have identified her brother's voice (not Bonilla's) as the Zombie on the May 7 call with Mr. Sanchez.
By authenticating her brother's voice on the May 7 call, Ms. Hernandez would have confirmed Mr. Sanchez had not talked "to the person who ultimately did, in fact, carry out the murder in El Salvador," but to another person also nicknamed "Zombie."
The Court Shifted the Burden of Persuasion
The brief also addresses a technical point that involves the difference between the "burden of production" (producing some favorable evidence) and the "burden of persuasion" (persuading the fact-trier that the evidence is true). Essentially, Bensinger argues again that Judge Real confused the two:
"The burden of persuasion regarding risk-of-flight and danger to the community always remains with the government…" As now-Justice Breyer explained, even where the nature of the charges gives rise to "a rebuttable presumption that 'no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the appearance of the person as required and the safety of the community," [citing 18 U.S. Code, Section 3142 (e)] this presumption only served to "shift the burden of production" and require the defendant to introduce "some evidence" to the contrary.
The brief argues that Sanchez met this burden of production with witnesses who could rebut the government's factual assertions about the tattoo and the calls, his agreement to "many restrictions on his liberty," and the character witnesses and property-owners willing to support his release.
The brief also points out additional problems with Judge Real's ruling: he did not provide the requisite written statement of reason for Sanchez's detention, including findings of fact, and erroneously placed undue weight on evidence of guilt, as opposed to risk of flight or danger.
Despite its refrain that "this is not trial" — invoked only to exclude defense evidence contradicting the prosecution's case — the district court transformed the detention hearing into a mini-trial on the merits of the charges…Rather than conduct an inquiry focused on whether the release of Mr. Sanchez posed a clear and present danger to any person or community, the district court devoted himself to prejudging the evidence of guilt even though, as now-Justice Kennedy reminded, "the statute neither requires not permits a pretrial determination that the person is guilty."
This Case Should Be Reassigned to a Different Judge on Remand
The brief ends up with the following request, not coincidentally accompanied by a footnote referring to other instances in which the Ninth Circuit has corrected Judge Real:
Judge Real rejected Ms. Hernandez's testimony refuting the government's claim that Mr. Sanchez instructed Bonilla to kill Camaron because it was "totally irrelevant." Judge Real excluded this patently relevant evidence not on technical legal grounds but because he failed to appreciate its logical relevance to the crucial issues at hand. The same is true with respect to Fr. Boyle's testimony. Even if the matter were remanded for renewed consideration, there is little chance Judge Real will accord this evidence it proper weight, simply because the disputed evidence has been found relevant and admissible…[He has already] declared that it is entitled to no weight whatsoever. At a minimum, the matter should be remanded for a detention hearing before a different judge.
Fairly Civil looks forward to reading and posting excerpts from the government's reply to this brief.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) - As the country grapples with gun control, an interesting survey has emerged that reveals the attitudes of young people about gun ownership.
A nationwide American University poll of 4,000 high school and college students found that more young people plan on owning a gun than had them in their childhood homes. Andrea McCarren reports some of the poll's findings:
Despite growing up in an era devastated by mass shootings, nearly 40 percent of students surveyed said they plan to own a gun when they have their own households. And another 20 percent said they're considering it. Among the other findings:
Fifty percent of students who described themselves as "depressed, stressed out or have difficulty making friends" plan to have a gun in their future households.
Those who play video games more than four hours a day are 50% more likely to own a gun than those who don't. The results were similar, but less pronounced, among college students.
There's even a gap between political parties. Democrats are nearly twice as likely as Republicans to fear gun violence: 45% compared to 25%. Democrats are also less likely to own a gun.
The survey was conducted last September and October, months before the Newtown massacre that has been widely described as a tipping point in the debate over guns.
The survey also revealed a gender gap among young people. Girls and young women are more likely than their male counterparts to fear gun violence and less likely to own a gun in the future.

Corner Kids
this wiki
Corner Kids is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony, given to protagonist Luis Fernando Lopez by his drug-dealing friends Armando Torres and Henrique Bardas.
Luis heads out with his old friends to go to a drug deal they set up. Along the way, Luis argues with them about the time he spent in juvie and his employment by Gay Tony, and then Armando will hand you an automatic shotgun and 15 grenades. When they reach the place, however, they learn that the police have bugged Armando's phone. The dealer runs off, but Luis, Armando, and Henrique face a wave of NOOSE officers. Luis takes down the officers, but a helicopter appears and drops off more NOOSE officers. Luis kills them and the trio runs off to escape, but the chopper comes back. Luis takes a Rocket Launcher from the back of a NOOSE Van and takes it down. Luis gets in a car with his friends and drives them back to their place in Northwood. Along the way, Armando and Henrique request Luis's help with their various drug deals, unlocking the Drug Wars.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in the car
- Go to the docks
- Take out the cops in your way
- Take out the cops on the roof
- Take out the cops in your way
- Take down the chopper
- Take your buddies back home
100% Objectives
Complete the mission in 7:50
Take less than 40% Damage
Kill 20 enemies via headshots
Have 55% Accuracy
Video Walkthrough
- If you have grenades, use them to take out police cars instead of waiting for the officers behind them to shoot, aiding the time requirement.
- Make sure to get the cops on the roof, they can apply some damage if you miss them
- Wait for the chopper to come to at least a slow hovering position to shoot it instead of wasting rockets trying to get it while it is moving.
- The name of this mission is likely a reference to the song "Street Kids" by Elton John, which was in the original GTA IV.
- If you fail this mission,you will be dropped in front of Adriana Lopez's house in a green Cavalcade FXT.
- There is a typo in the subtitles when Luis takes the Rocket Launcher out of the NOOSE van. He will say "NOOSE are some well equipt motherfuckers!". The correct spelling for "equipt" is "equipped". Although "equipt" is a word, it is not grammatically correct for the way Luis used it.

More than 35,000 souls gathered under the Carrier Dome top to fete Carmelo Anthony and the championship team from 10 years ago (10 years already?), and to see the current Syracuse lot battle Georgetown one more time as a Big East rival.
Only one other basketball crowd will be bigger this season – the one on the first Saturday and Monday in April, under another dome roof, this one in Atlanta.
In between is the best time of the year in sports, one bursting with more possibilities than normal due to a chaotic college basketball regular season where no one stays on top for long and the overused term "upset" somehow gets more overuse.
Other terms and people are there to also grow tired of real quick, from bubble to mock brackets to Cinderella to Joe Lunardi to RPI. Avoid all of them. It will make your March so much more pleasant.
The only bracket that matters is the real one that shows up Selection Sunday, put together by a real NCAA Tournament committee that gets no ego points for their work, just unfettered grief from the usual "experts" and "geniuses" aggrieved because the committee didn't do things their way.
Just remember that these same pundits were all mad about Virginia Commonwealth in the field in 2011. And look how that turned out. Maybe, just maybe, the committee knows what they're doing.
Still, their job for the 2013 version of the Dance is a heavy lift, and it's not just because Selection Sunday falls on March 17 (insert your own Irish pub joke). Other than making Indiana a top seed, literally anything else they do is likely to cause some form of debate.
Go down the list. Florida has rolled, yes, but has done so in the worst SEC in 25 years. Miami has risen fast, but had some ghastly early losses. Gonzaga has its best team yet, but still has to prove it can make a deep March run. Duke, Michigan, Kansas, Arizona – name the big name, and there's two or three reasons to disown their feats.

Members of Parliament yesterday questioned the government on delays in investigating the controversial UDA purchase deal, which recently provoked heated debates inside and outside the House.
The MPs said the investigation was taking too long, considering the importance of the company in the wake of increased road congestion in Dar es Salaam.
"My committee has failed to start its probe on UDA-investors' purchase deal, because the Controller and Auditor General has not finished its work on UDA books of accounts...the audit has taken longer than expected," said Zitto Kabwe (Kigoma-North, Chadema), who also doubles as chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Public Organizations' Accounts Committee (POAC).
"The delays have prevented POAC sub-committee's investigation into the scandal," he added in a supplementary question during the morning question and answer session.
The outspoken legislator pressed the government to give the timeframe—when the CAG would finish its work to allow the sub-committee to proceed with its probe on the multi-billion corruption scam.
The USD700m controversial purchase contract was signed by UDA directors and Simon Group Limited, a private investor.
Responding, the Deputy Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office (Primary and Secondary Education) Kassim Majaliwa said CAG`s audit on the UDA books of accounts is still going on, and that the House and general public will be informed once the office is ready.
"The report on CAG will be announced...to allow POAC to continue with its investigation on the UDA corruption scandal. We should be patient," the minister said.
He explained it is true that the Prime Minister has to conduct auditing on UDA books of accounts before the parliamentary watchdog starts its investigation, noting that "CAG is now proceeding with the task as per the Premier's directives."
In December last year, this paper reported that investigation into the Usafiri Dar es Salaam (UDA) sale scam was yet to start, as the parliamentary watchdog mandated to do the work was still waiting for CAG to complete the audit work.
"We cannot start our investigation without the audited report on the status of UDA," Kabwe was quoted as saying in an exclusive interview by this paper.
POAC formed the sub-committee to investigate the contract, which was controversially awarded to the Group late last year, thus attracting criticism and outcries from MPs and the general public.
Protracted pressure by MPs and members of public, forced Speaker of the National Assembly Anna Makinda to commission POAC, under Kabwe, to conduct investigations into the UDA-investor contract to check if laid down procedures and regulations of privatisation of public utilities had been followed.
Subsequently, the Speaker advised Kabwe's committee to wait until the CAG completed audit of UDA books of accounts.

Yeager officials see positive in merger
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- All airline mergers are not created equal.
When Southwest Airlines bought AirTran Airways in 2011, the merger cost Yeager Airport a significant amount of money, said Rick Atkinson, the airport's director.
Before the merger, more than 35,000 passengers a year flew on AirTran's planes from Charleston to Orlando, Atkinson said. But Charleston was one of the first cities that lost AirTran service after the Southwest merger.
"The Southwest Air Tran merger is the only merger that has hurt us," Atkinson said. "We made money for them and [Southwest] said 'that's not how we operate our airline, we have to serve larger places.' "
Other airline mergers, including Delta Air Lines' purchase of Northwest Airlines in 2008 and United Airlines' acquisition of Continental Airlines in 2010, were "positive" for Yeager, he said.
For that reason, Atkinson said, he welcomes news of the latest merger between American Airlines and US Airways.
American Airlines and US Airways announced the $11 billion merger agreement in February. The company, which will form the world's largest airline, will operate under the American Airlines name and will be based at American's headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.
The merger will be final within the next couple of years, Atkinson said, if it receives approval from the U.S. Justice Department antitrust regulators and US Airways shareholders.
While some big-city air routes have already seen price increases of 40 and 50 percent as a result of the merger, smaller airports, including Yeager, shouldn't expect to see such high prices, Atkinson said.
Brian Belcher, Yeager's marketing director, said the Charleston airport's fares will "be on par with any airport" that has similar competition and size.
When the merger is completed, the nation will have three major airlines of similar size -- American, United and Delta -- which is good for Yeager customers, Belcher said.
If just one of the three nearly equal-in-size carriers occupied Yeager, customers could anticipate prices going up, but because the small airport flies all three, competition is about even, he said.
"Higher prices might be true in a market where one of those carriers was a dominant one, but we have such competition here that we're going to be shielded from that," Belcher said.
"But I can't say that won't happen nationally," he added. "Competition is good for the consumer."
Competition among the three major airlines will entice them to upgrade in-flight amenities, such as better seats and wireless Internet options, Belcher said.
More than 600 new planes that American has ordered will have "main cabin extra" seating with up to 6 inches of additional leg room, according to a website for the merged airlines.
The website also promises in-flight Wi-Fi for connectivity around the world.
Atkinson said additional first-class seating could happen with the type of aircraft that will become available with the merger.
Delta is the only airline at Yeager that offers first-class service to passengers. The airline upgraded its Charleston-Atlanta service with 120-passenger DC-9 planes with first-class sections in March.
Atkinson said first-class seating in the new American planes "may be an option," but it takes a couple of years for pilots' licenses to be combined with the new system so that more planes are available.
American has already added new routes at Yeager.
Beginning June 12, the airline will offer nonstop jet service between Charleston's airport and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
The new flights will give the Boy Scouts of America -- which is headquartered in Irving, near the Texas airport -- better access to West Virginia. The Summit Bechtel Family National Scouts Reserve in Fayette County will host thousands of Scouts, their families and visitors each year.
Atkinson said there are other route alternatives that could be added over time because of the merger.
American has strong business at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York while US Airways is dominant at the Philadelphia International Airport, Atkinson said.
How to get to those places using miles from the new airline's loyalty program is still up in the air.
Atkinson said he doesn't know the full details of what will come of the combined American Airlines AAdvantage program and US Airways Divided Miles.
The website for the merged airlines simply says members can expect "even more opportunities to earn and redeem miles from an expanded global network of routes and partnerships."
Atkinson said frequent-flier miles are typically combined one-for-one during mergers. If a flier had 100,000 points on US Airways, for example, that would convert to 100,000 American Airline miles, he said.
"They typically take most of the good points from both programs," Atkinson said. "Loyalty programs are very important [to airlines]."
On one flight, American had 50 percent of the market on a nonstop flight, but US Airways, which had a layover, had about 38 percent of travelers because of the miles extras they offered, he said.
"People enjoy the perks of having the status of going first, checking bags free and getting miles," Atkinson said.
People also appreciate an easily accessible airport.
Fortunately for the modestly sized Yeager, American and US Airways are already located next to each other.
When Atkinson visited the Denver International Airport last week, he said he wondered how the two airlines, which are located at different terminals, would move gates and counters to accommodate the merger.
Yeager doesn't have to deal with that, he said.
"It won't be a facilities issue for us," Atkinson said. "For the larger airports with larger, separate concourses, those become facility questions and large costs for the airlines because they have to run a new network backbone to support their gate and check-in operations."

Magnolia Sisters
Magnolia Sisters' Arhoolie CD "Love's Lies" Nominated for Grammy
in Best Regional Roots Music category.
The Magnolia Sisters play the music of southwestern Louisiana, from dancehall Cajun to primitive Creole, from house music to front porch ballads, all with eloquence, energy, and flair. The quartet features Ann Savoy of the Savoy-Doucet Band and the Savoy Family Band on accordion, fiddle, and guitar, Jane Vidrine on fiddle and guitar, Lisa Trahan on bass and accordion, and Anya Burgess on guitar and fiddle. "Women's voices in harmony, hitting the chords that haven't been heard in Cajun music before" – that's how Jane describes the band's sound. The Boston Globe puts it this way: "Ageless music performed with ease and pleasure." And here's what Billboard Magazine has to say: "These ladies are not only gifted musicians but trusted folklorists who are keeping their traditions alive."
The music of the Magnolia Sisters brings out the joy, grief, longing, and passion at the heart of classics and forgotten gems that they've learned from Creole masters like Canray Fontenot and Preston Frank. "We take beautiful and long-lost songs from old collections and sweep off the cobwebs to bring them back in all their richness," the band says on their website. Whether you have cobwebs to shake off or not, chances are you'll love the soulful Louisiana sounds of the Magnolia Sisters!The Magnolia Sisiters website.

|I/O Tower
|Geographical information
|Other information
|Tower Guardians
|Behind the scenes
An I/O Tower (or Input/Output Tower) is a location in the Computer World that programs use to communicate to their users. They regard these towers as religious places and each tower has a Tower Guardian to protect the holy place. Dumont and I-No are examples of Tower Guardians.
How to Communicate
If a program "feels" that his or her User calling him, he/she will go to the I/O Tower to communicate. The program asks for the Guardian's permission to pass and the Guardian, if he allows it, will say a prayer:
|All that is visible must grow beyond itself, and extend into the realm of the invisible.
After the prayer, the program walks to the inside of the tower and reaches for his/her Identity Disc. With his/her arms extended, he/she releases the disk and the disk floats to the top of the tower and soon flies off into the sky of the computer world, where communication with the User begins.
The tower is not only for communicating with users but also allows users to imprint a code onto their respective program's Identity Disk. For example, Alan Bradley gives Tron the code needed to destroy MCP.

Lilly Power
- Wednesday September 10th – Busch Stadium
- Game (145): Cubs 4 – Cards 3
- Record (87-58) – 1st place NL Central
The skinny: Obviously, Lilly's effort on the mound was the difference in tonight's game.
But, in an odd sort of way, I think Lilly plowing over catcher Yadier Molina was his best delivery of the night!
Sure, it's more than a risky move by Lilly – leading with his throwing shoulder into a man that's 220+ lbs and covered in protective gear – with the playoffs looming, but I have no doubt it sent a spark through the Cubs' dugout.
Am I silly enough to believe a defense tries harder behind a pitcher who's willing to take one for the team? You bet!
And despite Lilly's last outing of just 2.0 innings against Cincy, he's still (8-4) in his 17 road starts while allowing 3 or fewer runs in 12 of those outings.
Speaking of defense, any question why Felipe Lopez is with his third team in the last three years?
Try an average of 20 errors per season since 2006 (Cincinnati, Washington & St. Louis).
And again, why do teams still run against Soriano???
The Cardinals ran themselves out of the third inning sending Izturis home on Pujols' single.
Hold Izturis and the Cards put Lilly on the ropes with runners at third and first; next up is the (.296 avg., 32 HR -at the time) hitting Ryan Ludwick.
Thankfully, Ludwick never gets the opportunity to cash in like he did in the ninth against Woody.
Not long ago I said Aramis was my leading vote getter to earn the Cubs' MVP Award.
I'm making it official as of tonight…Aramis leads the team in RBIs with 103 including having driven in 48 runners in his past 57 games.
Better still, the guy comes through in the clutch, 27 two-out RBIs.
Not too concerned with Wood in the ninth, he should be attacking hitters with a three run lead.
Besides, a save is a save, and Kerry has converted 25 of his last 27 opportunities.
It's a huge win, takes pressure off the whole team and it sets Hardin up nicely to clinch the series tomorrow.
Not to mention, Houston is the hottest team in the NL, three upcoming games in the Juice Box won't come easily.
W – Lilly (14-9) – Wood (29)
L – Looper (12-12)
- Notes: D. Lee's (169) hits is 2nd in the N.L. only to Pujols' (170).
- Derek has also hit safely in 23 of his past 31 games.
- Lilly is one win shy of his third consecutive 15 win season.

This has always bothered me. Everyone knows that having to fight on two opposite fronts at once is bad... and it's also a well known fact that every European country which tried to invade Russia has always been thouroughly beaten.
So apart from the standard "he was a crazy guy bent on taking over the world" answer, what was the rationale behind launching a full-scale attack on the Soviet Union when still actively fighting the British Empire?

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 13, 2008 – The Rubber Manufacturers Association announced today the issuance of a revised Tire Industry Service Bulletin for procedures in addressing zipper ruptures in certain commercial vehicle tires.
The purpose of this bulletin is to describe the inspection procedures for identifying potential sidewall circumferential ruptures (also know as "zipper ruptures") on truck/bus tires and light truck tires of steel cord radial construction.
Zipper ruptures can be extremely hazardous to tire repair technicians. Careful adherence to proper repair procedures is crucial. Ply cords weaken by under inflation or overloading may break one after another, until a rupture occurs in the upper sidewall with accompanying instantaneous air loss and explosive force. This can result in serious injury or death.
The bulletin, "Inspection Procedures to Identify Potential Sidewall 'Zipper Ruptures' In Steel Cord Radial Truck, Bus and Light Truck Tires" Volume 33 no. 3, is available on the RMA web site's Publication section or can be ordered by phone at 800-325-5095 or fax 330-725-5095.

The Rubber Manufacturers Association is the national trade association for the rubber products industry. Its members include companies that manufacture various rubber products, including tires, hoses, belts, seals, molded goods, and other finished rubber products. RMA members employ over 120,000 workers and account for more than $21 billion in annual sales.

The bodies of an Army staff sergeant and his pregnant wife will be flown to Virginia Thursday, where the couple will then be buried at the Arlington National Cemetery.
Staff Sgt. David Dunlap and Whitney Butler were killed on Jan, 14 when they walked into a burglary-in-progress at their Colorado Springs home. Police say the couple surprised the suspect, who then opened fire on the pair as they entered the home on Bassett Drive.
A 17-year-old, Macyo January, was arrested Jan. 17 at a home on the 3900 block of E. Bijou. January was arrested on charges of first-degree murder. He was officially charged as an adult Wednesday.
A 19-year-old male was also arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to first-degree murder and of harboring a fugitive.
Fort Carson held a memorial for Dunlap Wednesday. Dunlap was remembered in an emotional ceremony as a courageous veteran, who loved his wife and his country. His best friend told 11 News the couple was excited to find out they were expecting a their first child.
"When Dave told me...popping champagne, conference call, one of the most joyous experiences we've had," Sgt. 1st Class Bryant Macfarlane said.
Macfarlane said he feels lost without his best friend.
"I definitely feel there is a hole inside of me, a part of me that should be here that isn't. When I look around I keep expecting to see his goofy smile to come around that corner and make a snide comment at me. But it's not happening."
The couple was also remembered as being very happy together.
The bodies of Dunlap and Butler were escorted by a police motorcade to the Denver International Airport beginning at 8:30 a.m. Thursday. The motorcade began on the 3100 block of Platte, went to Powers, up Powers to Interquest, then Interquest to the interstate. Springs police led the motorcade to the northern edge of the city, where a private company took over.

If you engage in BDSM, fetishes or non-monogamy practices, and you are being persecuted or discriminated against because of it, please contact NCSF. If you need help removing kink or non-monogamy as a barrier to public services, please contact NCSF. If your group or business needs help with outreach to local officials, please contact NCSF. GET HELP NOW!
The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF)'s Incident Reporting & Response (IRR)
The issue must openly, directly, and specifically relate to BDSM, swing or poly activities between consenting adults; in other words, the problems you face must relate to or be caused from your involvement in BDSM, swing or poly without question.
NCSF is not legal aid, nor do we offer specific legal advice for individuals. NCSF is a resource for the members of the kink, poly and Lifestyle communities and for people seeking information about them. NCSF provides publicly available information on kink and nonmonogamy for consenting adults. NCSF assists individuals in removing discrimination as a barrier to public services when they make a request to our Incident Reporting & Response program. We also advocate on behalf of the BDSM, swing and polyamory communities.
Incident Reporting & Response - 2014 Report
By Susan Wright
NCSF's Incident Reporting & Response helps people who are being discriminated against because they are kinky and/or nonmonogamous: 184 requests for help were received in 2014. One-fourth of the cases evolved into weeks- or months-long projects, requiring the education of a number of legal, medical and mental health professionals about kink. Other professionals who requested information or resources to better serve kinky people included: academics, social services, vanilla nonprofit organizations & events, authors, merchant services, and insurance brokers.
The drop in IRR requests can be partly attributed to the increased page views on NCSF's Kink Aware Professionals database, with over 1,200 kinky people directly accessing KAP in 2014 to find a lawyer, therapist or other professional rather than asking NCSF for help through Incident Reporting & Response. Recognizing the need for more professionals to be listed in KAP, in 2014 NCSF joined forces with GayLawNet, a free referral database of gay-friendly attorneys. GayLawNet also began offering a Kink Aware Professional category for their lawyers to self-identify as kink aware.
Of the 184 requests for assistance, the majority dealt with BDSM while only 6 involved polyamory/swing issues:
73 criminal issues
33 child custody
26 requests for info from professionals
20 kink group issues
10 discrimination issues
5 job discrimination
6 media related incidents
4 divorce
4 civil law issues
3 outings
Criminal issues
The 73 requests that involved criminal issues typically took the most time and effort to help resolve, including finding kink-aware legal representation and educating relevant professionals to remove kink as a barrier to services. The requests break down as follows:
42 – assistance with victim services, reporting an assault, sexual assault, blackmail or stalking to the police, and obtaining restraining orders
13 – referrals for kink-aware defense attorneys
6 – assisting sex workers who were arrested
6 – assisting people in dealing with: probation, sex offenders, sex traffickers
5 – research on state criminal laws and contracts
Child Custody/Divorce
In 2014, there was a significant drop in requests for help with child custody/divorce issues. That is due to the change in the DSM-5 criteria, which made it clear that people who are kinky are not mentally ill:
2014 – 37 people
2013 – * see note
2012 – 87 people
2011 – 115 people
2010 – 125 people
2009 – 132 people
An even bigger change due to the DSM-5 can be found in the percentage of kinky parents who now retain child custody. More kinky parents who come to NCSF for help are successful in removing kink as an issue in family court and with social service workers and Child Protective Services. Of the 33 cases, 3 are still ongoing, but of those that assigned custody:
2014 – 89% (27 out of 30 parents) custody was not removed because of kink.
2012 – 53% (41 out of 77 parents) custody was not removed because of kink.
2011 – 23% (23 out of 101 parents) custody was not removed because of kink.
2010 – 12% (13 out of 109 parents) custody was not removed because of kink.
There was also a drop in the number of requests from BDSM, swing and polyamory educational and social groups. Most people are now aware that they need to get professional advice in setting up their clubs and association papers, and it is common knowledge how to produce an event legally. As a result, NCSF received fewer requests for establishing a nonprofit or dealing with zoning laws, and instead primarily assisted groups in handling adversarial members, liability issues, doing outreach to local law enforcement, and handling media incidents. NCSF helped 20 kink groups in 2014 vs. 77 in 2012.
Requests for help with swing and polyamory issues dropped to less than 3% of the total requests in 2014 compared to nearly 9% in 2012 and nearly 5% in 2011. There has been a significant drop in the number of house parties as Lifestyle events have shifted toward a business model that uses club venues, cruise ships and hotels. This means fewer busted house parties, and less need for NCSF services.
The decline in discrimination against nonmonogamists may also be due in part to the success of gay marriage. The mainstream media covers relationship issues like nonmonogamy much more positively than it did five years ago. According to the NCSF Media Updates, of the articles that involved nonmonogamy as a subject:
2014 – 53 articles: 77% were positive and 23% were negative.
2013 – 42 articles: 81% were positive and 19% were negative.
2012 – 21 articles: 62% were positive and 38% were negative.
2011 – 33 articles: 30% were positive and 70% were negative.
2010 – 50 articles: 16% were positive and 84% were negative.
* Note: From 2002-2011, NCSF's Incident Reporting & Response received over 500 requests every year. In 2012, that number dropped to 474, likely due to the change in the DSM-5 and an increased use of KAP. The IRR data for 2013 was destroyed by Leigha Fleming when she deleted her emails and documentation from the NCSF server. Some people have reported receiving no response last year, and that may have contributed to fewer people coming to NCSF this year. Susan Wright took over as director of IRR in January, 2014.
NCSF is not legal aid, nor do we offer specific legal advice for individuals. NCSF is a resource for the members of the kink, poly and Lifestyle communities and for people seeking information about them. NCSF provides publicly available information on kink and nonmonogamy for consenting adults. We advocate on behalf of the BDSM, swing and polyamory communities.
Unfortunately, due to limited resources the NCSF is only able to take the cases that meet the criteria set by our mission. All of our work is done by volunteers and we accept no payment for our services.
We are however happy to receive donations earmarked specifically for use in the IRR Program. Click here to donate, Make sure you note "Incident Reporting & Response" or "IRR" in the comment box if you want to restrict your donation. We do provide basic information as resources dictate and referrals to professionals as part of our Kink Aware Professionals database.
The criteria for acceptance listed were developed to meet the primary concerns of our voting constituencies, our Coalition Partners. When the NCSF agrees to take a case the impact can be realized by all of our constituents as a whole and therefore it is up to the policies set in motion by NCSF Coalition Partners to decide whether existing resources allow for a case to be handled effectively.
