Sweden, together with the rest of Western Europe and much of the industrialised world, faces the problem of increasing dependence on technology and science – but a declining interest in these subjects among young people. The problem is amplified by the fact that many of today's engineers, technicians and researchers will soon be approaching retirement.
Being a technology based organization, it is in the interest of the Volvo Group that as many young people as possible pursue education and training in these fields so that we and our customers have continued access to the necessary skills in the future.

How do you feel about the idea of governments mandating the use of free software in their countries?
Enforcing freedom?
Freedom is a big word with a lot of weight on it. And while most migrating governments are only mandating government use of free software, what would you think if the use of free software was mandated through all major public and private organisations as well? Is this more freedom or less?
Less is more
Free Software is all about choice. Free Software use without Freedom appreciation is useless to me, and as dangerous as unthinking use of non-Free software.
And from a governmental perspective, less is more. The government should regulate itself, and corporations, not the mundane activities of the people.
Under what heading would supporting total abolishment of copyright be placed?
I don't think governments should be allowed to dictate how and what software I use, thus copyright is out of the question.
If we dont require copyleft mechanisms to define "free software" the abolishment of copyright might be seen as "mandating the use of free software".
Or is this a "different opinion" alltogether?
I think, it's still too early to force the use of free software in areas where people depend upon proprietary solutions.
But as time passes and free software (and free culture in general) gains even more momentum, I hope politicians will consider major copyright reforms: virtually anything electronically distributed should be free software or free content, by default (and not through licenses like the GPL or the CC). But it's still a long way to go...
Pay for a software developer
>I think, it's still too early to force the use of free software in areas where people depend upon proprietary solutions.
Free software has the potential to be superior than any proprietary solution. If someone depends on a proprietary program because the Free solution is inadequate, the user should then improve it themselves. The point of free software is that the user is free to improve it for their own purpose. If the user is incapable of doing the act of improving software, they should hire someone else (a software developer) to do it on their behalf. This point is especially relevant to a government because it does very good things to the local IT sector.
I support a mandate
I support a governments decision to mandate Free software. Why? It makes so much sense for a government and public to support it. My arguments for this is the same as Dr. Felipe Pérez-Martí's arguments:
- EVERYBODY benefits from the free exchange of information. For me, this is the most important point.
- the residents and officials of the state have all the benefits of completely transparent software - all flaws and potential dangers are out in the open
- the local IT economy is stimulated - money that would have gone to other nations remain within the state.
I just think no one should mandate either free or commercial (as non-free) software. He/she/it can (have to ;) ) recommend to use free software, and explain why. Responsible users and institutions will understand and switch to free software. At least in my opinion.
right. one of those
right. one of those institutions being a government and it's departments.
Commercial isn't the same as proprietary
While it's true that most free software software isn't developed for commercial reasons, and most proprietary/nonfree software is, quite a lot of commercial free software exists, and the proportion of free software which is developed commercially is probably increasing. Therefore I don't recommend ever using the term "commercial" to refer to software which is proprietary. We're talking about freedom here, not price, and that term causes confusion about what we mean.
GNU - free as in freedom
Commercial vs. non-free
You're absolutely right: I misused the term commercial, and for that reason I highlighted non-free. And, in fact, I didn't mention the fact that an organization could decrease the budget to avoid buying commercial, proprietary software. You can even buy free software, and that's not the point. Free software's advantages are others, and an organization should know them, and explain them, not mandate such software "because" (I can't translate better the Italian expression "perché sì", as we say children to mandate them something we think they couldn't understand).
I know what free software is, and that the reason for using it at home and at work. But it seems to me that the most part of users doesn't even know what free software is (/They gave me Windows for free.../)
And, at last, a nation should recommend, and not mandate, something useful and ethic. Afaik, software is not yet considered weapons (well, the most part).
"Because" works...
"Because" works, or "Because I say so." :-)
Dept. only
I'm not a big fan of governments mandating _anything_, but inasmuch as they are a collective group of individuals working together of their own free will, such an organization should be able to decide for itself what it will use. Mandating use of free software--or any software, for that matter--for groups other than itself (including its populace) defeats the point of the "free" in free software, no matter how well-intentioned the decision or how many myriad different packages there may be to satisfy this requirement. Of course, they could require that communications to and from the organization be in a particular (preferably open, standard) format, just not that communications between third parties were such.
In short: departmental only, otherwise it defeats the point.
Choosing Freedom is Citizen's Freedom
I doubt whether the Constitution of any country offer the government the right to mandate the use of a certain type of software. But I surely support free software and recommend everyone to use it.
A governement should encourage free software of it's own use.
A government should put in place the requirement for openness of information and long term future of data that would make using Open software nothing but obvious. A mandate to use only free software would not be workable as there is a lot of small apps that do not currently work in the free model. But it should require that it is not locked into the propiority model so that it can move and intergrate it's data into other systems without the permission or requirement of a single company.
By encouraging that openness in their internal systems they will then make other think about the lock that large corporations, or even small business have over thier data.
What does "government" + "Mandate" = ?
Those two words in the same sentence should be an automatic warning sign for all who approach. Sure, some government mandates are necessary (not killing people is a good one), but it seems a government can become inept either with too much power or too much work, the latter caused by too many mandates it has to enforce. For example, how big is the documented US tax code now?
Also, when referencing "the government", to which governmental body are would this mandate be entrusted? Federal, state, municipal? What if they all want to add a portion to the mandate, as occurs in traffic laws?
Economy and accountability should be the defining factors of how a government chooses their software, which in turn directs their choices in hardware. Do it like a business must: Combine hardware, and software licensing costs, anticipated support costs, impact on current users (for example, how does going to open source infrastructure impact your 2000 PDA and Blackberry users), and look at productivity and ROI. Once the leader is identified, business sense should replace the need for a mandate.
only the format matters
I don't care at all which company/community ships my governments software as long as it is the "best" (in price, efficiency, security, etc). The only think I would expect from my government is that they use exclusively open standards also for in- and outside communication. If there is a closed source solution that can provide this, I won't be against, freedom is in choice, not in the source code.
governments also enforce patents, copyrights, etc.
I agree with most all of what AC said in "only the format matters" (Tue, 2007-03-13 08:15);
for example I think governments do have some responsibility to avoid "forcing" the citizens
(e.g. tax payers) to use certain file formats, for stuff like tax forms e.g., especially in
cases where the use of those file formats might require using certain "non-free" software.
But another angle (which may not be intended to be included in this "poll" survey)
(sorry if I am off base here), is that governments also play an important role in enforcing
patent rights, copyrights, etc. . I think that the term of copyright should be very limited
for computer software -- e.g. something like 3 years on "executable" or "object" code, and
maybe 10 years on the source code.
(I also think that copyright terms should be more limited for books, magazines, newspapers,
and music - but that is probably "way" off topic...).
As for patents, I do not know how to correct the craziness of allowing them for software
"ideas". The set of all possible "paths" that a person could take, in getting ideas for
how to do something in software (especially where standards create some commonality in
the goals for what the software should "do"), is not a tree! It is much more of a graph, or
whatever they call it. (There can be many ways of arriving at a given "right answer"!).
I just think that for almost all software "inventions", the patent system is not the right
way to protect (or "create") the rights of the author/inventor. . I prefer copyright.
In general, I think that any time DRM "seems" to be needed, to enforce legal "rights",
there may be some suspicion that the seller is asking too high a price for the widget.
I think hardly anyone would go to a lot of trouble to evade having to pay 0.99 or a dollar
for a song, in digital format. This to me seems like a case where the price is reasonable.
Also, we know of cases where someone will pay for certain Gnu/Linux distro's,
maybe mainly because it comes with a certain level of support. Again, the price sounds like
it is correct, and the possibility of sharing with neighbors is not a problem, partly since
"most" of what they are paying for, is probably the support. For example, the opportunity
to ask questions, and get technical help. Sharing with neighbors might even lead to an
increase in their interest level, and maybe (eventually), new potential customers.
On the other hand, sometimes movies and software packages show up on the "black market"
quickly, and one might suspect that, part of the reason is that the prices are too high.
I don't think governments should be "directly" involved in setting the prices, but I also
think that publishers should find some kind of distribution system, such that they can charge
a price that either is so low that (for most customers) it is easier to just pay the price,
or else somehow set up a system that customers (/users) can live with. I am not saying
that DRM should be illegal, but I think the government should be doing less to criminalize
transactions between two consenting persons, one of whom gets, (from the other), a copy
of some bit string (or file), such as some software or data or "content". I think if the
"owner" of the rights wants to sue, it should be a matter for civil court.

Government Mandated Software
I worked for the Yankee army for 33 years. They had two lists of software. One lit was the software everyone would use. The other was the software you could use if it was decided you had sufficient need for it. Any software not on the list could not be used. The viewpoint of what software capability you needed was very limited. For example, if you were a scientist and needed a symbolic algebra program or an analog to digital data collection program, and if the program was not on one of the two lists, you could not have it. In both these cases, there were no such programs on either list.
I tired of those who horse play with my life and civil liberties
I am a real flesh and blood creature of spirit, and I am so absolutely adamant about my passive resistance in the field of PUNK ROCK THEORY and REALITY, that I have a thought to laugh at me asking for a dollar for a capitalist burger any way. Don't take away my right to say that I don't want to be swine, nor the right to wear shit kickin' gear. I will do both. I like my rights the same way, tough and like John Wayne and as mean as the most evil school toiletpaper, Rough and tough and don't take no shit off of nobody! Give me my computer rights like a old Texan might have said equaling back to the rainy frontere storm clouds, It will be raining down in Texas and it should rain on D.C. That seems normal.
mandated software
i use free software all the time but i dont aprove of something being forced apon us. we live in (hopefully) democratic countries and to force something on us like that would be placing us into the world of BIG BROTHER. keep it free but give people the choice
Let the Gov use free software not necessarily control citizens
I think the Governments should be encouraged to use open software products.
However, I do not believe that they should make any decision for their citizens.
The Government could use their example in encouraging the use of open software. But they should not dictate it.
free software being mandated
It sounded like a good idea in governmment offices, until I realized that free software could be used to control, and to push right wing ideas.
Standards, not software
Forcing the use of free software is a backwards step. It's also not always feasible -- there are applications for which a proprietary solution might be the only or at least the best available solution.
The key is enforcing free standards (such as file formats and communications protocols). So long as these are free, free software can compete fairly against proprietary alternatives. In practice, if a viable free software alternative arises in such an environment, it will quickly dominate anyway.
Proprietary software needs closed standards in order to maintain a lock on the market -- that's what the problem has been with MS Word, for example. The problem isn't people using Word, per se, but the use of DOC format as a "de facto standard" for business communications.
Specifying that government agencies must publish all of their information in free/open standards is a perfectly reasonable and unbiased requirement. Any proprietary company that balks at that is simply showing its fear of genuine competition.
Open source software is the way to go
I disagree in mandating free software in any way, but i agree in mandating open sourced software, but only for govt. departments and publicly listed companies and not to privately owned entities.
This is because for public interest, transparency is a necessity. Imho, people have the right to know what the public domain entities are doing with public domain resources and to a greater extent the other 4w and 1h too. Through open sourced software, everyone knows the issues pertaining a software behaviour. So everything should be more deterministic in nature. Hence accountable.
About the shortages in the choice of opensource software, i think that can be easily overcome. As what an old proverb say "where there is sugar, there can always be ants".
Free software mandates no mandates
Freedom. Stop
They can do whatever they want in their departments, that's it. Stop
Freedom to think, speak and act belongs to the people. Stop
That includes free and fair commerce, which they must protect. Stop
Everything else is BS. Stop
I'm all for free software, not communism, nor fascism. Stop
Call me crazy. Stop

Four men are being held on robbery, weapons and other charges after the armed robbery of a Main Street gas station early Tuesday morning and a vandalism incident on Sprenger Avenue a few minutes earlier.
The four are charged with the armed robbery of a cell phone and a wallet from two victims accosted in the Mobile on the Run gas station in the 3100 block of Main Street, police said.
Officers responded to the report of the robbery and immediately broadcast a description of the suspects' vehicle, a white luxury car with Tennessee license plates. Shortly before that stickup, officers were flagged down at East Delavan and Midway avenues to assist a woman who told police that someone had thrown a brick through her house window in the 100 block of Sprenger Avenue.
While investigation the Sprenger Avenue incident, officers noticed footprints in the snow that led them to the car with Tennessee plates, where they found the four suspects.
When the description of the four Sprenger Avenue suspects was aired again over police radio, officers who had responded to the gas station stickup drove to Sprenger Avenue, checked the car and found two loaded guns, marijuana, the three cell phones and the wallet stolen at the Main Street gas station.
The four were charged with robbery, weapons possession, criminal possession of stolen property, grand larceny and criminal possession of marijuana. They were identified as
Larron D. Waller, 19, of Sprenger Avenue; Corey Walker, 18, Deon Artis, 19, and Jamontrae Ridley, 21, all of unknown Buffalo addresses.
The police officers involved in the two-crime investigation were Officers Peter Nguyen, Christina Colosimo, Roberto Becerril, John Abrams, Ray Harrington and Thomas Champion and Detectives Nick Mourgas and Jim Dunham.

The botched demolition of one of Buffalo's oldest public housing complexes took a new turn Tuesday – an admission that workers on the project tried to cover up the illegal removal and disposal of asbestos.
Henry Hawkins, a compliance monitor on the failed project at Kensington Heights, admitted falsifying inspection reports in order to protect Johnson Contracting, the Buffalo company hired to remove asbestos from the complex's six towers.
Hawkins' admissions – he is the first defendant to be convicted – are part of a deal that allows him to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge in return for his promise to cooperate with federal prosecutors.
"There is a cooperation clause in the plea agreement," said Patrick J. Brown, Hawkins' defense lawyer. "It's a very serious charge and this seemed like an appropriate way to resolve it."
Hawkins was one of 11 defendants – nine individuals and two companies – charged in a 23-count indictment related to the asbestos-removal project at Kensington Heights on Fillmore Avenue. The defendants include three inspectors – one from the state and two from the city.
As part of his plea deal, Hawkins said he and Rai Johnson, a supervisor at Johnson Contracting, worked together to cover up the fact that asbestos remained in four buildings they had certified as clean.
"Rai Johnson wrote in his log book that all the asbestos had been removed," Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J, Mango said in court. "At the time he wrote that, all the asbestos had not been removed. And the defendant knew all the asbestos had not been removed."
Kensington Heights, which is located behind the Erie County Medical Center, has been a symbol of decay and abandonment for three decades.
Visible from the Kensington Expressway, the 17-acre complex is owned by the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority and was targeted for demolition three years ago as part of a larger plan top redevelop the site into a $105 million retirement community.
The charges outlined in the indictment center around the work of two companies – Johnson Contracting and JMD Environmental Inc. of Grand island – and the allegations that they violated the federal Clean Air Act by improperly removing and disposing of asbestos.
The federal indictment alleges that from June 2009 to January 2010, Johnson Contracting and two of its managers – Rai Johnson and President Ernest Johnson – instructed workers to dump asbestos down holes cut in the floors of each building.
They also are charged with failing to wet the asbestos and leaving it in open containers.
Mango has said in the past that the government is likely to dismiss the charges against Johnson and JMD because the two companies are now out of business.
Hawkins' admissions – he pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact – is significant because it was his employer, JMD, that was accused of conspiring with Johnson. The company was hired to conduct air-sampling tests and other oversight work but, according to prosecutors, failed to do those tests properly.
The indictment also charges a now retired state Labor Department inspector, Theodore Lehmann, and two city inspectors, Donald Grzebielucha and William Manuszewski, with falsifying inspection reports.
In the year since the indictment was announced, the BMHA has made progress in resuming the asbestos abatement and demolition work at Kensington Heights.
The authority has torn down one of the six towers and has removed the asbestos from a second tower awaiting demolition.

Two people were injured Sunday afternoon when a small plane crash-landed at the runway of St. Catharines District Airport in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont.
The crash occurred about 2:15 p.m., shortly after a pilot of a single-engine, two-seat, kit-style aircraft declared an emergency and turned back in an attempt to land. During a sequence of events, which remain under investigation, the aircraft approached the airport and crash-landed within a short distance of the runway, said the Niagara Regional Police Service.
The pilot and a passenger, who were not named, were taken to St. Catharines General Hospital with injuries that did not appear life-threatening, police said.
Regional police, the St. Catharines Fire Department and Niagara Emergency Medical Services responded to the crash. The investigation into the incident was turned over to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - A Northern California man died Saturday afternoon following a collision with a roadside tree north of Truckee, officials said Monday.
Steven Metzgar, 64, of Meadow Vista, Calif., was driving a 2000 Lexus ES 300 southbound on Highway 89, north of Hobart Mills Road and west of Prosser Creek Reservoir, at a high rate of speed when his vehicle drifted to the right and went off the road, colliding with a large tree at about 1:50 p.m. Saturday, according to a California Highway Patrol press release
The vehicle caught fire with Metzgar still inside, said Pete Mann, public information officer for CHP; the fire was quickly extinguished by passing motorists. Metzgar suffered fatal injuries upon impact - he was wearing a seatbelt - and was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is not known if drugs and/or alcohol contributed to the cause of the accident, according to CHP. The collision is still under investigation.

Welcome to Beauty of Rwanda
Beauty of Rwanda is a not-for-profit jewellery and home décor company founded on the principle of economic empowerment to women of Rwanda.
Rwanda is one of the poorest countries in Africa, particularly following the devastating genocide of 1994, in which 1 million lives were lost. The social and economic effects of the genocide rippled through the nation and still have an impact in the present day. Households affected by HIV/AIDS are at risk of falling into poverty and close to 14% of rural dwellers live in conditions of extreme poverty.
The vision of the company is to sell one of a kind, handcrafted products made by women survivors of the 1994 genocide and to teach the women key skills that will enable them to increase their income, and to gain respect of their neighbours, while taking positions of responsibility in their communities. Our main objective is to empower rural women, and evolve alternative strategies of education that will enable them to participate as equal citizens in the political, economical and social sustainable development of themselves, their families and their communities.
Overall, the sale of beautiful, handmade goods plays an important role in Rwanda's transition.
You can learn more about some of our weavers .
We value female empowerment for our weavers, providing them with a sustainable income. Each of our handmade products are of high quality and environmentally friendly. Through our #OneBasket campaign, the organisation makes a real difference to the lives of the women and their families.

Funding to re-open a Goose Creek satellite office for Berkeley County government will likely be included in the fiscal year 2013-2014 budget.
The new location is apparently a go, despite a less-than-enthusiastic response from county officials who contend that closing the office two years ago saved money.
The Goose Creek satellite office opened in 2006 to offer services for the auditor and the treasurer. The office was closed in 2011; the county stated it would save an estimated $56,500 by relocating the office back to Moncks Corner.
County auditor Janet Jurasko addressed the issue during county council's budget workshop on June 10.
"I wanted it to work when it first opened," Jurasko told council members. "Once we opened the office I realized we weren't providing the service. When you came to my office, nine times out of 10 in real estate we either have to send you to the assessor's office (in Moncks Corner) or the Department of Revenue in Columbia. People were getting upset because they were having to come anyway to Moncks Corner because we weren't providing the services."
Jurasko said approximately 50 percent of the people who visited the Goose Creek office couldn't complete the business they came there to do and had to come to Moncks Corner.
"The same people waited until the last minute to pay their bills," she said of the tax bills that are mailed out eight weeks in advance. "There is so much you can do but people just wait until the last minute. You can't change people.
"Whatever county council passes to do I will do it because that's my job. But there are a lot of things we need to sit down and try to look at to try and improve the service down there because it's basically stop there, view your bill, and pay your taxes, but you have to come to Moncks Corner anyway."
Finance Committee Chairman and Councilman Tim Callanan disagreed with Jurasko's assessment. He said that a Goose Creek satellite office will save a lot of people a lot of money.
"It's a convenience to have the office there, but it's also providing a service to save the taxpayers money," said Callanan. "If we can open the office and make it better than it was before, I'm all for it."
Callanan said the savings to residents outweighs the cost of running the office.
"Government is about providing services in a way so that they are convenient to the populace and that's what opening this center is," he said, "Whatever provides the best service to constituents."
Factoring the car miles saved making a 28-mile round trip to Moncks Corner from the lower part of the county, the savings to 30,000 residents would total approximately $462,000.
"This is not a cost center," Callanan said. "This is a convenience center. It's convenient for people out here in Moncks Corner to come here but for people of Goose Creek, Daniel Island and Hanahan it's a 30-mile trip."
Council member Jack Schurlknight expressed concerns about residents of northern Berkeley County, who would be forced to drive the extra distance into Goose Creek.
"The northern part of Berkeley County may not be as densely populated, but it's still a part of Berkeley County," he said.
Schurlknight added that with the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office asking for funding to add 14 corrections officers to ease crowding at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center, he can't see putting convenience above public safety.
"We need to educate the public to go online," he said. "We've got to utilize the technology. The answer is simple and right in front of us. (Moncks Corner) is the county seat."
Today, approximately 30 percent of county residents pay their tax bills online as opposed to when the Goose Creek office opened in 2007, when no one paid their bills online, officials said.
Callanan said it's about preparing for the anticipated growth coming to Berkeley County.
"This county is going to grow," he said. "I can guarantee you it is going to grow exponentially. It's going to grow faster probably as a percentage wise than Charleston or Dorchester.
"So therefore at some point, there's going to need to be a satellite office to provide these services whether the Internet exists or not. Denying that, I think, is foolhardy.
"We need to look at this and say, if we open this office, are we providing a service that's valuable to people and are we saving people money? That's it."
Council member Ken Gunn, who made reopening the Goose Creek office part of his campaign for the District 3 county council seat, said it's about serving the most people.
"It makes sense to put an office where the majority of the people live and that's in and around Goose Creek," he said.

11 Best Dandruff Shampoos
The best dandruff shampoos treat, moisturize, and even add shine. Check out our readers' rankings for the inside info on washing those flakes right out of your hair -- for good
Dandruff starts with sebum, a natural oil produced by the body that (when produced in normal qualities) makes the hair and skin supple and creates a protective barrier around your 'dermis. But, when overproduced, sebum can create issues like acne and, you guessed it, dandruff.
To combat the white flaky foes and soothe redness and irritation, you can follow an anti-dandruff routine. Besides avoiding too-hot water, heat styling tools and too much product, you can manage your flaky little secret by switching to these top-rated anti-dandruff shampoos our readers say really work.

I am fortunate in that I don't have dandruff. I do truly enjoy the tingling sensation of a shampoo and/or conditioner with Tea Tree Oil, however. It's delightful!

The body shop ginger anti-dandruff shampoo!! The best one i've ever tried!
by Danit Monday, October 8, 2012 at 04:21PM Report as inappropriate
I've used a lot of garnier and herbal essences shampoos and conditioners, they smell great but they do leave a lot of residue on the hair. i went to a hairdresser and the first thing she asks is what shampoo i was using because there was ALOT of buildup, smell great but leave your hair less than clean. They work for dandruff though. I am excited to try the paul mitchell tea tree, i love anything with tee tree oil and will take this list into consideration for my next shampoo

I have tried Head & Shoulders, Paul Mitchel, and T Gel and none have worked for my dry scalp. I will have to give Jason's Tea Tree Oil a try.

Garnier's shampoo is sub-par, at best. Jason's is THE BEST out of everything on the market, whether your scalp is dry, has a lot of build-up of product, or is oily, this shampoo is a dream come true. You can feel safe using it because it's all natural. If you're not a fan of the smell of tea tree oil, use this any way because the smell doesn't linger. I find that if I use this every single time I shampoo for a few weeks, my dry scalp goes away fast. I also find that the scalp sheds itself naturally, which we sometimes THINK is dandruff or something else because it's gross, itchy, and drives us insane, but is actually part of changes in temperature from season to season, etc. Cutting back on product use helps tremendously as you navigate through this process. My hair gets washed, conditioned, and the only thing I put in it is Josie Maran's Argan Oil. My hair has never been healthier or looked better as an adult. Also, this shampoo isn't always easy to find locally, so if you cannot find it, check out Ebay, Amazon, or Folica. It's generally about $10-$12 a bottle.

Got the Shielo Hydrate Shampoo for my husband because Pureology no longer makes their dandruff shampoo. He has used it 2 times now and loves Shielo! Said he thinks it's even better than Pureology! His hair is soft and he has noticed already changes in his scalp and less dryness. Go figure! Yes, it's expensive but if you factor all the money you waste on every other type you purchase hoping it's 'the one', save yourself the time and try this!

Grady L. Davis Jr. is a retired Erie County corrections officer who owns a shotgun, .22-caliber rifle, .357 Magnum and a Glock. The 61-year-old East Side resident also proudly carries his National Rifle Association membership card in his wallet.
So he seemed an unlikely participant in Friday's rally in support of New York State's controversial gun control law. But there he was, sitting in the audience with about three dozen others as Assemblywoman Crystal People-Stokes and nearly a dozen other lawmakers and community leaders stood as one in support of the state's SAFE Act.
"I have 15 grandkids," Davis said, "and if this is going to save one of their lives, or any of their lives, I'm all for it."
It will be a pain to recertify his firearms every five years, he said, but he believes in universal background checks and closing the loophole on private gun show sales.
"There are too many people dying in the streets," he said. "Something needs to be done."
In sharp contrast to other local rallies in opposition to the governor's hastily approved gun reform package, which predominantly featured white men, many of those who stood in favor of the SAFE Act in Buffalo's Schiller Park Senior Center were African-American women and men active in the East Side community.
They said they've experienced first-hand the damage that gun violence does.
"I don't have a problem with guns," People-Stokes said, pointing out that she herself has a handgun permit.
She later explained that she got the permit a year ago for personal safety reasons at the urging of her husband. While she doesn't own a firearm now, she said she keeps the permit so she can easily get one should she ever feel the need. She also said her father once belonged to the Big Hill Hunting and Fishing Club in Lancaster and was a hunter and NRA member.
But People-Stokes, D-Buffalo, said it's possible to own a firearm and still believe in gun reform, which surveys show most Americans do. Her feelings about the SAFE Act also are affected by the fact that she lost three of her cousins to gun violence, she said.
She spoke most strongly in favor of the new recertification and database requirements for owners of handguns and assault weapons. If people are required to register their cars, there's no reason guns shouldn't be registered as well, she said.
"It will allow us to keep track of where legal guns wind up," she said.
The Rev. James Giles, head of Back to Basics Outreach Ministries, recounted a litany of funerals for 14- and 15-year-old children struck down by gun violence, and the faces of their parents who wanted answers to the unanswerable: Why did my child have to die?
He said the Second Amendment was written during a time of muskets, when reloading took 30 seconds.
"If you bring back muskets, we'll say everybody ought to have a gun," Giles said.
He was one of more than half a dozen community leaders who stood side by side with Democratic politicians in support of the sweeping gun-control legislation that addresses everything from mental health reporting requirements to banning certain semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity gun magazines.
State Sen. Tim Kennedy, D-Buffalo, praised the SAFE Act along with State Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins, a Westchester County Democrat who represents Yonkers and was elevated as the head of the State Senate Democratic Conference in December.
At her first Buffalo stop, Stewart-Cousins said Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and President Obama moved forward with legislation that State Senate Democrats have been pushing for years.
"We were able to say we took a stand," she said, "and we were able to say we set the standard."
She attributed the strong backlash against the state's gun control provisions to "the politics of fear and the politics of misrepresentation."
Local representatives with the SEIU 1199, representing health care workers, said they're organizing a rally in response to the protests in Albany planned for Thursday and are prepared to take buses to the state capital to show support for the SAFE Act.
Peoples-Stokes said Friday's rally in Buffalo was conceived three weeks ago but took time to schedule so that more community leaders could participate and respond to the "vocal minority" that opposes the state's latest gun-control measures.
"I know there are people who support it who aren't saying anything," she said.

Extremism in America
Latest Updates
Little Shell Pembina Band
Law enforcement officers and public officials around the country are encountering members of a new and active anti-government extremist group that calls itself the "Little Shell Pembina Band of North America." Members of the group claim that they belong to a "sovereign" Native American tribe and therefore are not subject to laws and regulations; in reality, the "Little Shell Pembina Band" is part of the anti-government
"sovereign citizen" movement
. Its members' activities range from driving with bogus license plates to perpetrating insurance fraud schemes to tax evasion.
Activities and Tactics
Ronald Delorme
Primarily in North Dakota and Washington, but members can be found across the nation.
Splinter Group:
The group has split into two competing factions, each using the same name.
Internet, videos, seminars, fax solicitations
Claims to be a sovereign Native American tribe and not subject to the laws of the United States.
Anti-government and sovereign citizen; members may also belong to a wide variety of sovereign citizen, militia, or white supremacist groups.
The origins of the Little Shell Band (named after a Chief Little Shell, who died in 1901) have a kernel of truth. The Little Shell Band did, in fact, once exist as a branch of the Chippewa on the northern Great Plains in the 19
century. Most were pushed westward out of Minnesota and North Dakota to Montana. Today there is a Little Shell Band of Montana, a legitimate although federally unrecognized Native American tribe. It has no connections to extremism or to the Little Shell Pembina Band of North America. (Pembina refers to the area around the Pembina River in northeastern North Dakota).
In the 20
century, a variety of Chippewa factions launched lawsuits for federal recognition and funds. In these competing suits, one group identified itself as the "Little Shell of North Dakota" but never achieved recognition.
In 2001, a North Dakota resident named Ronald Karyance Delorme, claiming to be the hereditary chief of the "Little Shell Band of Indians of North America," filed a federal lawsuit that sought recognition as well as funds from appropriations statutes pertaining to Chippewa land claims. According to the legal argument prepared by Delorme's attorney, the funds (including interest) amounted to more than a hundred million dollars.
Describing himself as the great-grandson of Auguhk Qway, one of Chief Little Shell's Grand Council members, Delorme had fought with other Chippewa groups over these claims for years (despite a 1993 Native American newspaper report that his Little Shell Band consisted primarily of his family). Ultimately, the courts saw little merit in Delorme's arguments and refused to acknowledge a connection between his group and the Chippewas who had previously fought for recognition.
At some point during these unsuccessful legal battles, Delorme transformed the Little Shell Band into a sovereign citizen group. Its ideology was not new to the region: sovereign citizens had been active in North Dakota, where Delorme and his extended family lived, dating back to the 1980s, when Posse Comitatus leader Gordon Kahl ambushed and killed two federal marshals in Medina in 1983.
By 2004 the Little Shell Band claimed to be a "completely sovereign tribe" that held "allodial title" to over 53 million acres of land (for some reason, this figure was later increased to 62 million). Saying it no longer sought federal recognition, the group declared its own executive, legislative and judicial powers, bestowing on itself the right to establish a legal bar and "tribal lawyers" as well as a "sovereign tribal financial and banking institution."
Land claimed by the Little Shell Pembina Band. Includes most of North Dakota and parts of Montana, South Dakota and Manitoba.
Perhaps most importantly, the "new" version of the Little Shell Band allowed anyone, regardless of ancestry, to become a member of the group, opening the door for a variety of anti-government figures to join (for a fee) and claim membership in the "sovereign" Little Shell Band. As a result, Little Shell Band activity spread around the country.
The Little Shell Band has more than 60 documented members, with probably at least a hundred more not yet identified. People have joined from around the country, with larger numbers in North Dakota, the Pacific Northwest and Southern California. The members are an eclectic and unusual collection of anti-government activists, including:
The Delorme family.
Ronald Delorme and his family began the Little Shell Band and continue to play an extremely important role. Among the family members identified with the group are Dallas Delorme (Grand Council member), Leo Delorme (Grand Council Chairman), Glen Delorme (Grand Council member), Keith Delorme (Administrative Officer) and Vincent Delorme (Grand Council).
The family is not unified, however. In April 2004, Ronald Delorme and Leo Delorme mutually expelled each other, as well as various followers, thereby creating separate factions of the group, each with its own Web page and each claiming to be the "real" Little Shell Band.
Ronald Brakke
(Tribal Spokesman). Brakke is a long-time sovereign citizen activist from North Dakota. According to a colleague, he is an "expert on banking, credit, mortgage and entitlement." During the 1980s, Brakke, once a farmer, was involved with Posse Comitatus-style groups that promoted fictitious financial instruments, bogus trusts and similar schemes. In 1991, he was convicted for theft after harvesting crops on property owned by a bank.
William McNamara
(Director of Public Relations). One of the more unusual characters in the Little Shell saga, William McNamara is a Hollywood television and film actor who has played in films alongside well-known stars ranging from Bette Midler to Jeff Bridges to Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter. McNamara is also a dedicated sovereign citizen, involved with the Law Research Group and tied to other anti-government organizations such as the Erwin Rommel School of Law. Along with Brakke, Leo Delorme, and Navin Naidu (see below), he has offered seminars in Hollywood about the Little Shell Band, which purport to explain how "members of the band can use a quit claim to offset potential foreclosure." In an e-mail to ADL, McNamara asserted that he had cut off relations with Ronald Delorme and Navin Naidu.
Navin Naidu
(Circuit Court Judge and Finance/Economic Advisor). Naidu is perhaps the strangest Little Shell character of all. He first achieved notoriety when he appeared in Fiji in 2001 as the lawyer for George Speight, a former insurance salesman who had spearheaded an unsuccessful
coup d'etat
and was subsequently charged with treason. When the Fiji government checked Naidu's qualifications, it discovered that his University of London law certificate was spurious, as was his claim to be practicing at the "International Ecclesiastical Law Offices" in Seattle, which turned out to be non-existent. Naidu, a Singapore-born ethnic East Indian and U.S. resident, admitted that he had no license to practice law in the U.S. but that his credentials came from "Jesus." Naidu was arrested and later deported. Back in the United States, Naidu moved to Kent, Washington, where he identified himself as an "ecclesiastical lawyer" and began devising plans to create a church court that could marry or divorce people and even decide criminal cases.
John Lloyd Kirk
(Clerk; Tribal Lawyer). A Tukwila, Washington, sovereign citizen and anti-Semite and a friend of Montana Freeman Leroy Schweitzer, Kirk was one of a group of seven Washington sovereign citizens and militia members arrested in 1997 on a variety of weapons and explosives charges. Convicted of possession of a pipe bomb and conspiracy to possess and make destructive devices, Kirk received a 46-month prison sentence. It was not his first conviction: in 1980, according to author Jane Kramer, he had been found guilty of statutory rape in an incident involving his daughters.
Kenneth "Keny" Wayne Leaming
(Tribal Prosecuting Attorney). Leaming, a self-described "recognized international lawyer" and "Attorney in Fact" is a Spanaway, Washington-based former deputy sheriff and member of the Civil Rights Task Force, a sovereign citizen group that has used badges and raid jackets to resemble law enforcement officers. His CRTF partner, David Carroll Stephenson, was ordered by a federal court in March 2004 to stop promoting an alleged tax scam that allowed people to avoid an estimated $43 million in federal income taxes.
Allen "White Eagle Soaring" Heart.
The entrepreneurial Heart and his partner Kay Ekwall operate the Seventh Fire Web site, where they market a wide variety of items, including "authentic Ojibwe dream catchers," alternative health products and bogus mortgage elimination schemes. The site also provides a variety of Holocaust denial and anti-Semitic essays, such as "How Thieves Corrupted the Bible by Adding the Zionist State of Israel for Christians to Worship."
Other identified members of the Little Shell Band include many who are involved in different extreme right-wing movements.
Activities and Tactics
Since the Little Shell Band started operating as a sovereign citizen group, its members have sought to use its self-declared, fictitious sovereignty to their advantage. These activities have included:
Offering bogus insurance.
One of the earliest activities of the Little Shell Band was to offer insurance under the guise of the "Little Shell Pembina Band of North America Assurance Company" (and other names). Despite lacking licenses and certificates of authority, the Little Shell Band offered applications for auto and homeowners "assurance" that would replace existing insurance policies, according to North Dakota officials, who issued a cease and desist order against Ronald Delorme and others in 2003. In June 2003, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation ordered the First Actual American Insurance Company, Ronald Delorme and Zachary Betts of California to stop marketing malpractice insurance. According to Florida regulators, the company claimed it had authority through the Little Shell Band and was faxing sales materials to doctors throughout Florida.
Similar cease and desist orders soon followed from Missouri, Oregon, Ohio, New York, Washington and Georgia, naming Delorme, the First Actual American Insurance Company and a variety of other individuals. In July 2004, Leo Delorme ordered the expulsion of Ronald Delorme and various other members for allegedly "preparing and carrying out a liability insurance scheme for the purpose of defrauding doctors."
Evading taxes.
In May 2004, Donald Donovan of Seaford, Delaware, was sentenced to three years in prison and fined following a four-count conviction on tax evasion charges. Donavan, who failed to pay almost $100,000 in federal income taxes over several years, claimed, among other things, that because he was a member of the Little Shell band, he should be exempted from paying taxes. Other Little Shell members made similar claims.
In June 2004, the IRS sent Ronald Delorme a letter complaining that Little Shell Band identification cards described holders as exempt from federal income taxes. Delorme maintained that the issuers of the cards had been expelled from the Little Shell Band (according to a notice on Delorme's Web site, those involved were Ronald Brakke, William McNamara, Randy Peterson, and John Sheridan). On one online forum, a Little Shell member claimed in July 2004 that he showed his new employers such a card and they stopped withholding taxes on his salary; he also claimed to use it to avoid paying sales tax at stores like Wal-Mart.
Avoiding regulations.
Some Little Shell Band members have tried to use the ostensible sovereignty of the group to avoid regulations or court orders. For example, Davenport, Iowa, officials issued citations ordering Larry Allen Bell and Martha June Puls to clean up their property, which was littered with debris ranging from old vehicles to piles of dirt and rocks. Bell and Puls filed suit in federal court in 2003, claiming that their property was "Indian treaty land" under the "sovereign national jurisdiction" of the Little Shell Band because Bell had allegedly deeded his property to the Little Shell Band in 2002. The suit was dismissed.
Using bogus license plates and driving documents.
Little Shell license plates have been spotted around the country by law enforcement officials. In July 2003, for example, five residents of Barnes County, North Dakota, were arrested after being caught with fake drivers licenses, registrations and insurance cards issued by the Little Shell Band. The license plates look realistic and may easily be confused with legitimate tribal license plates.
Delaying court cases and thwarting foreclosures.
Little Shell members commonly try to avoid the consequences of lawsuits or prosecutions by claiming that the courts lack jurisdiction over them or by transferring contested items, such as property, to the Little Shell Band. Krystina Diane Coffman of Cincinnati, Ohio, attempted to use this tactic after the Toyota Corporation sued her when she stopped making payments on her 2003 Lexus. Coffman claimed that she had paid Toyota, even though she only made seven payments, because she sent them a "promissory note" for the remainder. In court, she initially refused to answer questions about the car, but finally admitted that she "sold" it to the Little Shell Band for "one piece of silver." She also filed documents demanding that the case be removed from the federal court and transferred to the "Federal Tribal Circuit Court" of the Pembina Nation Little Shell Band. In late December 2004, she neglected to appear for the final ruling, prompting the judge to order police to bring her to court when found.
Similarly, North Dakota residents Virgil Rott, Shirley Rott and Dwight Rott brought suit in 2004 against the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, which years earlier had foreclosed on their property. As part of their argument, the Rotts filed documentation with the court stating that they had deeded their interest in the property to the Little Shell Band. Precisely what effect they thought this might have is unclear, but their suit was unsuccessful.

I'm getting scared of Worlds >< They are in Canada and if Osmond is there....Oh, God. If she skates clean her pcs will be..very high
I'm getting scared of Worlds >< They are in Canada and if Osmond is there....Oh, God. If she skates clean her pcs will be..very high
Osmond's PCS jumped compared to Nebelhorn just as right enough to beat Akiko. What a shame that no one wants to take a GP event. Otherwise Skate Canada should be disqualified from hosting GP. No other event has so shameful results.
For Akiko it's a good lesson- she knew where she was going. There was no need to fail SP in Canada if there is a Canadian skater around.
You got to be kidding almost 60 for Osmond...I so hate the canadians giving so high marks for their athletes...get ready because i think she'll be the next world champion considering that are hosted in Canada!Skate Canada has always been the competition where their owns skaters received even 10 points higher than they should..Anyway Liza was 10 times better than Osmond!Shame on them!
For some perspective, Christina Gao scored 117.62 at Skate America with a squeaky clean 6-triple program. Her PCS was 57.
So basically Skate Canada judges say that a 4-clean-triple Osmond is only 2 points worse than a 6-triple clean program from Gao?
(watching delayed) OMG Osmond in FIRST??? I was just about to say 'Definitely excited about this new, bubbly skater but she's not quite there yet'. And then she BEATS a strong Akiko Suzuki??? (okay, Akiko still won the LP but still) Osmond tripped over her own feet getting off the ice; her SS are NOTHING compared to Akiko's. Plus she FELL. I haven't been this shocked by the results of a Ladies competition in a LONG time. Akiko was a bit tense tonight and that could have hurt her PCscores a little bit, but overall her ss, choreography, presentation *and* jumps were much stronger than Osmond.
Can someone please explain to me why people are claiming that the international judging panel at Skate Canada (which changes every year) is more corrupt than the international judging panels (which change every year) at any other event?
Wow the protocols are interesting...The tech panel gave Osmond edge calls on both her filp and her lutz....
But the PCS tells the tale -- She beat Akiko in interpretation, choreography, peformance? tied in transitions...This makes no sense.
Wanna hear a joke?
Suzuki got 7.57 for performance/execution and Osmond got 7.61.
I think that Liza should have higher ss than Osmond=\\\
Apparently Osmond's LP was enough to get a 9.00 in performance/execution and 9.25 in interpretation from one judge.... The girl is very pretty but did she translate the character, Carmen well? Hmmmm ....

LAHAINA - Chaminade has long been the gracious host - more gracious than the Silverswords would like - of the EA Sports Maui Invitational.
On Monday, though, the team was far less hospitable.
De'Andre Haskins scored 27 of his 32 points in the second half and Kevin Hu finished with 16 points as Chaminade defeated Texas 86-73 in an opening-round game Monday at the Lahaina Civic Center.

"We're ecstatic. It's an incredible win for our program," said Silverswords coach Eric Bovaird. "We believed all along we had a chance to play with these guys over here. We knew if it got down to a close ballgame, there was a good chance we were going to win. I have so much faith in my team. I'll put them up against anybody."
Excluding an 8-0 run to open the game, the Longhorns never got into a rhythm.
"The team that should have won the game, won the game," said Texas coach Rick Barnes. "They played better. Collectively, I thought they played harder. I thought we played very tentative. I would probably even use the word scared."
Fact Box
CHAMINADE Silverswords 86
TEXAS Longhorns 73
Chaminade, an NCAA Division II team, was 6-76 on Maui entering the 28th edition of the tournament this year.
"At some time we'll celebrate this win," Bovaird said. "It won't be tonight, it won't be tomorrow, but eventually that date will come. Right now, we're going to be focused on our next opponent."
Chaminade (3-1) will face Illinois in the semifinals today.
The Silverswords led 64-45 on Monday after Hu's field goal with 6 minutes, 28 seconds remaining. The Longhorns, who spent most of the first half in a 2-3 zone, turned up the defensive pressure the rest of the way and got as close as 71-62 on a 3-pointer by Julien Lewis with 2:15 left.
Haskins responded by going 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, however, to extend Chaminade's lead to 77-62 with 1:43 remaining. The Silverswords scored their final 17 points from the line, on 18 attempts.
"I was a little bit worried about that myself because in our previous game against Western Washington we were 15-for-31 from the free-throw line," Bovaird said.
Hu, a reserve, scored nine points in the first half as Chaminade took a 31-27 lead.
"His energy is contagious," teammate Dominique Cooks said. "Tonight we couldn't hit a shot in the first half. He came in and really got us going. That's when we started to believe we could beat these guys."
Haskins took over in the second half, going 5-of-5 from the field and 13-of-14 from the line as the Silverswords earned their fourth berth in the Maui semifinals.
"I came into this wanting to play hard and play with my teammates," Haskins said. "I have a lot of great guys on my team."
While the margin of victory for Chaminade appeared impressive, Barnes thought it should have been greater.
"I don't even think the score was indicative of how much better they played than we played," he said.
The Silverswords even outrebounded the bigger Longhorns 43-35. Haskins had nine rebounds and Waly Coulibaly grabbed seven.
Javan Felix scored 17 points and Sheldon McClellan added 14 for the Longhorns (2-1), who were just outside the top 25 in The Associated Press poll released Monday. They will play Southern California today.
The most frustrating moment for Texas likely came about four minutes into the second half. Barnes called a timeout when his team looked confused while running its offense. The Longhorns came back onto the floor, passed the ball around a few times and let the shot clock expire.
"When you are tentative, you aren't doing the things that you practice," Barnes said. "Those type of things happen, guys looking around like, 'Who's going to make a play? ' "
In 1982, Chaminade beat No. 1 Virginia on Oahu. Former Cavalier Ralph Sampson and ex-Silversword Tony Randolph were on hand Monday to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of the upset.
"After I accepted this job, there haven't been two or three days gone by without somebody asking me about the Chaminade victory over Virginia," said Bovaird, in his second year coaching the Silverswords. "I figure with a big win like that tonight maybe some of those questions might stop coming. Maybe we'll be talking about the Texas victory 30 years from now. At least I hope."
