IEC 61511 Implementation - The Execution Challenge
Deciding to Use the Standard is Only the Beginning
This phase begins the shift from analysis to SIS engineering and design. When compared to traditional SIS specifications, the SRS is a major expansion in both depth and breadth (Figure 2). It may contain one or more documents. The SRS is the master document, and referenced documents are subordinate to the SRS. How much time and effort are needed to fully specify individual SIFs can vary widely. On projects with a large number of SIFs, this may noticeably increase the SIS engineering effort, and EPCs and MACs must modify and adapt to this reality.
The simple task of issuing the SRS requires discussion. The global section should be issued for approval early. Issuing the SIF section may need to occur on a SIF-by-SIF basis since completion depends on when PHA/LOPA action items are completed and information is available.
The information required to fully define and document a SIF may entail 40 or more unique data items. The source and detail required to document each item must be defined clearly. The effort to gather, track and review this data can be significant. For a large project, the work includes migrating and recording large amounts of data that may be provided in different formats, at different times and by different disciplines and organizations, so some companies develop in-house SRS database tools to improve productivity, reduce errors and track SIF development and approval status. Information provided by different disciplines and organizations represents an interface challenge that should be addressed in the PEP Interface Management Plan. The potential for data transfer and transcription errors should be addressed in the PEP Quality Plan.
Completing the SIF section typically requires an SIS engineer with depth and breadth of experience. Once it's completed, a competent senior person should do a "cold eyes" quality check. The quality plan should define the approach to these checks.
The SIF specification process may identify problems that can trigger a secondary work process or design change.
A common scope question is what are the project requirements for documenting protective instrumented functions (PIF) that are not required by the LOPA/PHA. Are PIFs documented in the SRS? Do the SIF analysis and verification steps apply to PIFs? Will the SRS differentiate between SIFs and PIFs? These questions need to be answered before budgets are firmed up and schedules developed.
To improve SRS outcomes and execution:
- Define what information is included in the SIF specification section, the level of detail required, who provides the information, and who records it in the SRS.
- Provide an example specification for common SIF types and indicate the level of detail required.
- Define the approach to assessing and documenting PIFs that are not SIL-rated.
- Define if the SRS will differentiate instrumented functions by type, e.g. safety, environmental, regulatory or asset protection.
- Define the quality checks required in the PEP quality plan.
- Complete and approve the global SRS narrative section before SIF specification work begins.
- Confirm which document is the "master" repository for alarm and trip settings.
- Define how and when the individual SIF specifications will be issued for approval.
- Use electronic tools to manage the SRS SIF definition section, support electronic data transfer and manage SRS data over the SIS life cycle.
- Develop tools for tracking SIF specification design and completion status.
SIL and Spurious Trip Rate (STR) Calculations
SIL and STR targets are verified using project-approved calculation tools and reliability data sets. The SRS typically provides the information needed to correctly model the SIF. Final SIL calculations are generally provided late in the project. To support early equipment procurement, preliminary SIL calculations are often recommended to confirm that SIL 2 and 3 SIFs and the more complex SIL 1 SIFs can meet the SIL and STR targets. Failure to meet a target typically triggers a study to identify alternate designs, adding time to the schedule.
If not defined in the FSP, the reliability data used in SIL calculations should be selected early. The FSP or PEP must define how new data will be assessed and formally approved.
To improve verification calculations and execution:
- Identify the calculation software and the source of the reliability data used.
- Provide rules to guide how SIFs are modeled, named and documented, and how they target PFD safety factor, applicable common cause factors, etc.
- Define what information and detail is recorded in free- form fields.
- Provide example calculations for common equipment and complex SIFs.
- Define the process for approving third-party reliability data used in preliminary and final calculations and its introduction to the team.
- Define what test interval is used.
- Define the issue and approval of calculations process.
Implementing IEC 61511 requires changes in historical work processes, procedures, tools and execution plans. Operating companies, EPCs and MACs should continue to develop corporate standards, guidelines and tools to guide project teams and improve consistency between projects, and the execution and technical plans, procedures, tools and resources required to successfully implement this standard in today's complex project environment.

When I got up this morning and saw that we were getting hits from the Arkansas Times website, I was pretty excited. Jess and I had joked that it would be fun if Arkansas Foodies made it onto the Reader's Choice poll list this year for the blog – and thanks to all of you that voted, we managed to score a Runner-up spot for "Best Blog!" I can't tell you all how much that means to us – I've been reading and voting in that poll for years now, and I never expected that something I was a part of might make the list. The ultimate winner was the Times' own Arkansas Blog – and it's a much-deserved win for the quality reporting that Max Brantley and gang do over there (I'm an avid reader). We also placed next to one of Arkansas' best known food and travel writers, Kat Robinson, who has done a lot for us over the past year with her shout-outs on Eat Arkansas.
We started the blog because we thought it would be a fun place to post our pictures and talk about the things we're passionate about: cooking, eating good food, and the state of Arkansas. We figured a few close friends and our families would read it and that would be the extent of it. It's been a pleasant surprise that so many other people who love good food have taken some time to read what we've written and taken a look at the pictures – we're pretty proud of Arkansas and we hope we've done the place justice. We've talked about everything from collard greens to ox-tails to some of the best food that Arkansas has to offer. Along the way we've eaten a lot of cheese dip, chopped liver, chili, and chocolate at some of Arkansas' many excellent food festivals, and we've met a lot of other people that are as passionate about good food as we are. So thanks again for reading, everyone, and thanks to all of you that voted for us. We hope that we'll become a fixture on that list – and we hope you all cook well, eat well, and live well. Thanks!

DES MOINES, IOWA—MyJohnDeere.com is part of an expansion of the company's FarmSight precision agriculture developments. "FarmSight is a strategy not a product," said David Everitt, president, Agriculture and Turf Division of North America and other areas of the world.
The news release announcement issued in conjunction with the media event Thursday noted the importance of MyJohnDeere.com. "To help agricultural producers manage their equipment information, production data and farm operations from a single Web site, John Deere introduces MyJohnDeere.com."
This FarmSight toolbox "gives customers a centralized online portal to access, view, archive and manage a wide variety of business information."
There will be new suites of technology in the future while some are already in place to connect with MyJohnDeere.com. It is part of building the "intrastructure side" of the company. It all fits within the FarmSight business, which has three pillars for success—"machine optimization, logistics optimization and ag decision support."
In simplistic terms, MyJohnDeere.com will have wireless connection between machines and allow storing a wide assortment of data entered through various automatic and manual methods. "The user can access their MyJohnDeere.com site to view the information that is most important to them, as well as allow access to their (equipment) dealer, farm manager or other third-partly individuals (ag retailer)," as explained by the John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group.
There was discussion during the media event about equipment dealers hiring agronomists to work with producers in utilizing as much of the MyJohnDeere.com capabilities as possible and making recommendations for the grower. These would be very similar to independent crop consultants.
Everitt used a real-life example of a dealer in western Canada who hired agronomists even before the latest technology being developed by the Intelligent Solutions Group. The dealership has much higher market share for combines than an average dealer in the North America market.
He hired an agronomist who likes working with technical equipment and precision tools a few years ago. That one agronomist worked out so well that the dealer now has six agronomists on staff.
"He (the agronomists) is writing prescriptions for customers. He is providing soil sampling for customers. He is providing water management services for customers. And it is not only a significant revenue generator, but profit generator. You think about the profit he makes on the equipment. Plus the cost, price ratio of this (agronomy services) is favorable … And he has become a trusted advisor because the agronomists are not selling seeds. They are not selling chemicals. The equipment becomes a data management process. This is an example of what could happen. Not only do I think it could happen but it is happening; there is a real life example."
The John Deere event included a large number of business analysts and agricultural media, and we heard presentations by Everitt; Jerry Roel, director, John Deere FarmSight and John Deere WorkSight, John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group; and James Field, senior vice president and chief financial officer, Deere and Company. All three also answered questions for an hour during a meal at the Hotel Savery in Des Moines.

A little terrified, hoping to get some insight on here. I am new to this site as a member, but have been reviewing the site for about a year. I went for my consult on Monday of this week, and absolutely loved Dr. Guillory! Very personable, and friendly. I've wanted a tummy tuck since after my first child cause my skin was terribly stretched out, but I knew I wanted another child first. So here I am with my youngest now 3 years old! Any things you guys can share with me to help me asking this journey? Any info you feel would be helpful. Will post pics soon!
25 Years Old , 2 Children - Cookeville, TN
A little terrified, hoping to get some insight on...
13 days and counting!
This is gonna be the longest two weeks ever possibly. I'm a little nervous how it will actually look afterwards as in the new belly button and the scar itself. Hope it is in my panty line area. I'm sure I'll only get more nervous as the time gets closer, but more than ready to be on the flat side!!!
Better before photos.
12 days ;)
Any items you wished you would've had gotten before your surgery you needed/wanted afterwards?? Trying to be sure I have everything I would possibly need. Thanks ladies!
11 days!!!
Getting really excited!
9 days!!
Can't believe the closer it gets the less nervous I feel. I'm sure the day of I'll be on edge and terrified, but I'm enjoying this peace right now.
5 days to go.....
I'm losing my mind... Not literally, but I'm getting myself all worked up. Called my Dr today with tons of nonsense questions. Lol. Preop on Monday!
3 days....
Preop tomorrow!!!
Preop..... check :)
Surgery will be Wednesday... Very excited and nervous all together! Mainly because I've never had any type of surgery! Being put to sleep is what scares me the most. And being tubed! But I'll get over it. Paid for my surgery in full today, so no turning back!!
Tomorrow is day!!!
Surgery is at 8am!
Officially on the flat side!!
Surgery was at 8 am, was complete a little afterafter noon. Came home at 2pm. Have not taken my binder off but have drained the drains quite a few times. So far not walking hunched over, pretty straight. Said they removed over six lbs of skin! So far a little sore but that was expected :)
Day 1 :)
Well just took my binder off for the first time...... Wasn't painful at all, but I guess the pressure release got me cause u passed out. Lol. Binder is back on and I don't for see trying to l that again any time soon.
Dr appt tomorrow....
My drains have been emptying great til today. Dr wants to see me tomorrow to be sure they aren't kinked any where our if they are truly ready to come out so soon. They originally thought I would need them til next week or longer. We will see.
Day 2
Fixing to get ready for my appt... Laying down with binder open currently. Pain was pretty bad last night.... But I made it. Drains still not putting out more than about 10cc over a few hours. Also belly button.... Yuk. Any tips to help it heal right?
Advice on removing Adhesive and Tape???
Help ladies..... Any tips on removing the tape as painless as possible???? Have to remove it Monday for my post op appt... Thanks!!
First bowl movement a success! :) No pain.... Thank you Colace!!
Hmmmm... :) / ):
Not very pretty after removing the tape huh? :( It bled pretty bad, and I had to wash it with anti bacterial soap. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't a pleasure either. Scared tomorrow is too soon to remove my stitches?? Especially with it still bleeding so much once I removed the tape. The center below my belly button is the worse cause I had pretty bad stretch marks in that are. Hoping my stretch marks will lay flat in my incision line cause they currently are not. Trying to be hopeful that it will look better than this! First time since surgery I'm wondering if I made the right decision going through with the surgery.... Everyone else's post op pictures look so different than mine.... Boohoo I guess. Lol
Post op appt yesterday ....
Went well... Had stitches removed and my belly button was cleaned :) Was very upset to hear two different people stitched me up cause one side is straight and pretty..... And well the other is not obviously. :( But I am healing up great!!! Have not taken pain meds in a few days and feel great! Appt was at 9am, didn't return home till about 9pm. Went and did a little shopping, lunch/dinner, and a movie .. What a great day.. Bad news....... Ugh. Still have both my drains. Lol. Hate these things! :)
Has been awful. Lol. Look like I have a little baby bump.. All my swelling is above my belly button. But no pain. Been laughing so hard my little muscles have been aching, but I laugh at everything so I'm surprised I've held off this long. When I see something funny I've been trying to redirect myself immediately. Lol. It's a little difficult. :) Hope everyone has a good Friday!!
Not as swollen today...
Headed to my appt.... Praying he will take these drains out! Lol. Really don't have anything to update, just wanted to share updated photos. Hope everyone has a good Monday!
So..... ugh!
Still have both drains.... BS. One of the two is collecting less than the required amount to have it removed avd my Dr is making me wait. So easy to say I left my appt today ticked. I hate these things. Lol. I still have a stitch that is in my incision area that wasn't removed when all the rest were cause the end wasn't visible... Well it wasn't removed today either! So that upset me also. I will not be cut open again later to remove it. Just feel like everyone was so short today.... My appt didn't last ten minutes! Don't return for three weeks, other than to have drains removed when output is less than 30cc on both sides. Grrrr.
Been a good day, relaxed most of the day.... Ready to go back to work... Sitting at home is not my thing. Lol. Still have both drains, and of course one is ready to be pulled but I've still got it. Here's a couple pics from today :)
Drains out!!
Drains were removed yesterday... One side was clotted over, but it was my side that was draining the most so I'm going it will be okay. Wasn't supposed to return for three weeks, but Dr is concerned that it will need to be aspirated since it was clogged so badly. I sure hope not. That would feel awful. :( Also as you can see directly below my belly button/above my vagina my incision doesn't look to good. She said it is going to be a wound possibly..... And of course my dumb self googled tummy tuck incision wounds and OMG that had better not be what's happening to me!!! Plus side.... I feel 1000x better without those dumb drains! Just wished this one area would heal up cause I will be returning to work on the first. FYI.... My drain holes have neosporin on them.
Wore blue jeans yesterday.... They were not tight at all, they were pretty loose... Only wore them maybe four hours and when I took them off I had awful lines and bulges. Obviously had my binder on underneath them. Still this morning almost twelve hours later these awful bulges ate still there!!! :( Appt this afternoon to be sure I'm not collecting fluid after drains were removed Friday. Wish me luck.... I do not believe it needs to be aspirated, it doesn't look like I'm collecting fluid in my opinion.... But another good thing.... Was 219 the day of surgery, now currently at 209!
Had appt to be sure I wasn't retaining fluid after having drains pulledpulled out Friday. He felt around and said my tummy was too firm to tell so he stuxk needle in just in case there was some there. Well there was. Not much at all, only half of one syringe filled up. He said that was very good. Said typically he can get three or four syringes full from patients. So that made me happy :)
Picture standing up from just now after taking off my garment.... Other pic was last night before I feel asleep :)
Ken doll???
Is this what is consider a Ken doll?? It is a little poochy.... Lol. (Sorry about the color the flash made it look funny!)
Look pregnant today! Lol. But did buy some bio-oil and put on my incision and belly button today :)
Constant swell....
For whatever reason it looks as though I have been swollen in my upper abdomen for the last two days. Makes me look pregnant, not digging that look at all. I have on a compression tank as well as a full abdomen compression corset over that and still swollen like crazy! My luck.
Dr told me yesterday to quit wearing my binder.... This was the result after working twelve hours last night wearing my duty belt. :(
Anyone else?
Having this bump type swelling?? Sorry pic is kinda dark.
Swelling or a problem??
My swelling is constant..... This is how I look pretty much 24/7 now. What do you guys suggest?? I'm missing my flat stomach!!
Still loving it! Considering tattoo over scar?
Still couldn't be happier with my results! I feel as if I need to get into some sort of workouts to keep my stomach flat, but I still have issues with swelling after I eat. Which sucks and makes me look pregnant as can be, but it is what it is. lol. I'll update with photos soon! I'm considering covering my belly button scar with a circular tattoo........ Any one done this??

I HAVEN'T worked with many British artists before Olly Murs, but I enjoyed featuring on The Saturdays' hit Higher with Rochelle Wiseman.
I don't get a chance to see the girls as often as I'd like as we're both so busy, but we always have a good time
I'd love to work with more Brits.

'It's on the Meter' is an attempt by three Aston graduates to break the Guinness World Record for the longest taxi journey in history! The expedition will cover four continents, thirty-nine countries, ten time zones and over 48,000km, in an 18-year-old classic London Black Cab - aiming to raise more than £20,000 for the British Red Cross.
Departing February 2011, the expedition will be setting off from London, travelling via Europe, Moscow, North Africa, the Middle East, India, Mongolia, China and South East Asia; with the taxi finally arriving in Sydney, Australia approximately eight months later. Along the way, the team will pick up fares including VIPs and journalists, temporary team members and, of course, locals who seem like they could use a lift! The idea is to keep the expedition as pure an adventure as possible, with no support vehicles, relying on the team's ingenuity and negotiation skills to achieve this huge distance.
The expedition will use a combination of vehicle and t-shirt decals, online, printed and televised mediums to generate substantial publicity in the UK, Australia and worldwide. The expedition website (www.itsonthemeter.com) and social media channels will be used to create genuine word of mouth and viral interest in the expedition and its sponsors, with a focus on the youth market. Regularly updated with blogs, photos, videos and Tweets, fans will be able track the progress of the expedition. The team will also work closely with the Red Cross PR teams worldwide to ensure maximum exposure of the expedition through photographs, video and articles written for newspapers and magazines. Along with this, press releases and news stories will be distributed to local and national media at key stages of the expedition (namely departure and arrival). The team will also give interviews to radio, television, newspapers and online wherever possible and during the expedition. The team are offering a number of sponsorship and partnership opportunities to companies and organisations, including the provision of goods, services, sponsorship or donations to the British Red Cross in return for publicity.
If you or your company would like to get involved, there are multiple levels of sponsorship, and this can be achieved with a combination of monetary and equipment commitments. Please contact Paul Archer, Expedition Organiser- Sponsorship and Press, on email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Taliban, Regrouped And Rearmed
KABUL, Afghanistan
The interpreter's hand-held radio crackled with the sound of intercepted Taliban transmissions, and he signaled the infantry patrol to wait while he translated. At 7 a.m. one morning late in the summer, peasants were already out scything wheat, with their children tending fields of pink and white poppies that would soon add to Afghanistan's record-setting opium and heroin supplies. We were 9,000 feet up, in the hamlet of Larzab, in a remote part of Zabul province -- the heart of Talibanland.
Our interpreter, Mohammed, estimated that the Taliban fighters were less than half a mile away. We walked through the fields for 20 more minutes before stopping next to a small hill. The chatter revealed that the Taliban were "watching us and waiting for us to get closer," Maj. Ralph Paredes explained to me as his men radioed to their base the likely coordinates of the hidden fighters. Soldiers back at the base -- a mud-walled compound without electricity or water -- fired mortar rounds over our heads to a hill several hundred meters from our position, where the Taliban might be hiding. We never learned whether they found their target.
Just one more patrol, and one more skirmish, in Afghanistan's war -- a conflict in which the fighting and ferocity are regaining strength with each passing month. Indeed, the U.S. military and NATO are now battling the Taliban on a scale not witnessed since 2001, when the war here began, and are increasingly fighting them in remote areas such as Larzab where the Taliban once roamed freely.
When I traveled in Afghanistan in 2002 and 2003, the Taliban threat had receded into little more than a nuisance. But now the movement has regrouped and rearmed. Bolstered by a compliant Pakistani government, hefty cash inflow from the drug trade and a population disillusioned by battered infrastructure and lackluster reconstruction efforts, the Taliban is back -- as is Afghanistan's once forgotten war.
In the past three months alone, coalition forces have killed more than 1,000 Taliban fighters, according to Col. Tom Collins, a U.S. military spokesman, while the religious militia has killed dozens of coalition troops and hundreds of Afghan civilians, spreading a climate of fear throughout the country. And suicide attacks in Afghanistan have risen from single digits two years ago to more than 40 already this year. Most of the victims are civilians -- including more than a dozen bystanders who were killed here Friday when a bomb-laden car struck a convoy of armored U.S. vehicles just 200 yards from the U.S. Embassy; the attack also killed two U.S. soldiers and wounded a third. Half an hour after the blast, I watched as firefighters hosed down the streets, which were littered with shards of blackened metal and singed body parts.
I recently traveled to Afghanistan for three weeks, meeting with government officials, embedding with U.S. soldiers from the 2-4 Infantry and interviewing senior American military officers. I found that while the Taliban may not constitute a major strategic threat to President Hamid Karzai's government, they have become a serious tactical challenge for U.S. and NATO troops, as the war here intensifies. And their threat is only amplified by their ubiquity and invisibility.
"In this place, they are everywhere," explained Mohammed, our interpreter. "They are sitting here as a farmer. Then they are Taliban."
When I visited Zabul province in July, Lt. Col. Frank Sturek was in charge of U.S. military operations there. Sturek, from Aberdeen, Md., earned his insurgent-fighting stripes in Mosul, Iraq, under the tutelage of Lt. Gen. David Petraeus. When I spoke to Sturek, he had recently lost two of his men in firefights with the Taliban. In a nighttime interview conducted by flashlight in the mud compound, Sturek described a two-hour struggle on July 19 against about 120 Taliban who were armed with mortars, recoil-less rifles, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. Judging from newly dug graves, Sturek estimated 35 to 40 Taliban had been killed.
Despite their numerous casualties, the Taliban are much more willing than Iraqi insurgents to engage in pitched battles, Sturek said. "These guys will mix it up," he said, "and they use a lot more direct fire." In the five months he had been in Afghanistan, he noted, none of the Taliban fighters his men had fought had ever surrendered.
Echoing all other U.S. officers I interviewed in Afghanistan, Sturek emphasized that the Taliban threat required a political solution, not a military one, and that expanding the U.S. presence and reconstruction efforts into remote areas would win the long-term conflict. "You can win every firefight you want, but the battle is in these villages," he said. "This is where you change the minds of the people -- or at least create a doubt that the Taliban are not preaching the right message."
A political solution is also the mantra of the U.S. commanding officer in Afghanistan, Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry, an intense, intellectual soldier who speaks Mandarin and is on his second tour in the country. Over coffee in his Kabul office, he said that the situation in Afghanistan still looks reasonably optimistic. "I tell everyone don't look at the snapshot," he said. "Look at the movie called Afghanistan."


text: I have a 150yr old house with about a foot of moldy fiberglass & cellulose insulation in the attic along with the wonderful debris from re-roofing and providing a home for a red squirrel family or two over the years. I suspect there's some major air leaks up there too, so I'm gonna take a 1 week attic vacation this spring, rip all that crap out, try seal it right, and then reinsulate. The mold was likely caused by a lack of ventillation. I have a gable vent, maybe 18" by 24" on the east side of the attic which is open to the outside with a window screen. There's no vent on the west side. It gets wickedly hot up there in the summer. It looks like an easy and effective way to fix the ventillation might be to install a solar attic fan on west end peak of the roof. The attic area is about 800sqft. I see a lot of models of solar fans out there at a wide range of prices. I'd welcome any thoughts/ experiences on solar attic fan sizing, selection, reliability, value, etc. Thx

Betsey Johnson's New Line Inspired by Breast Implants
MakenzieR on 13 Sep 2011 at 9:00am
Eccentric designer Betsey Johnson showcased her Spring 2012 collection at New York's Fashion Week. The designs were as wild as ever (think baby-doll dresses with exposed leopard print push-up bras), and said inspiration came from what seems like an unusual source: her breast implants.
That may explain the copious cleavage on display -- considering the waif-ness of most NYC models, all the girls in Johnson's show were surprisingly endowed and/or propped up. She also cited her daughter and Nicki Minaj as inspiration. The latter would definitely explain the hodge-podge of prints.
Perhaps Ms. Johnson would rate her implants as "Not Worth It," as she rambled in her interview that they make her look fat and that "Nicki Minaj can pull them off, but not me!"
I can only think of one other designer who's breast implants "inspired" a line -- Ms. Alexis Smith. Makes a little more sense though, as she was designing bras for augmented breasts.

Jason Collins, NBA star, comes out as gay
(AP/ABC7) Jason Collins came out, got widely congratulated for his courage, and the games went on.
It was really that simple.
For the first time, a player still active in one of the four U.S. major pro sports leagues told the world he was gay, with Collins choosing to do so by writing a first-person account for Sports Illustrated. And the overwhelming sense from his athlete peers, the vast majority of whom probably had no idea who he was before his story was published Monday morning, was simply, "About time."
"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black and I'm gay," Collins said.
In an exclusive interview with ABC's Good Morning America, Collins says it's "mind-boggling" that he's the first active player in pro team sports to come out.
"You're sort of waiting around... Come on guys," he said.
From Los Angeles to New York and virtually every spot in between - not to mention a never-ending stream of comments on Twitter - the sports world reacted with words of support, encouragement and even thanks for Collins, a journeyman center who has never been anything remotely close to an NBA star, but is now surely entering a world of notoriety unlike anything he's ever experienced.
"I applaud his decision to be true to his identity and, from his own words, start this conversation in major professional sports," said Bernard Muir, the athletic director at Stanford, where Collins played his college ball. "On behalf of a diverse athletic community I hope that we progress to the point in society where truthful moments like these are no longer newsworthy."
Only something like this could have made someone like Collins, who averaged a mere 1.1 points this season for the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards, arguably the biggest story in sports.
First Lady Michelle Obama personally tweeted a supportive message. Former President Bill Clinton, whose daughter Chelsea has been friends with Collins since their Stanford days, spoke of the player's courage. Tennis great Martina Navratilova - who came out in 1981 - called him a pioneer, and Celtics coach Doc Rivers compared him to Jackie Robinson.
"I can only speak for myself, and I would be perfectly comfortable with it," said Dustin Brown, the captain of the reigning Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings. "I have friends that are gay, I have relatives that are gay. It's part of society. It's just like anything else, if they're going to help me win, I want them on my team, right?"
That was a notion shared around locker rooms and clubhouses all day Monday. When players, coaches and managers were asked what they thought the reaction to a gay player would be on their teams, the almost universal response was something to the effect of this: If he's going to improve our team, then it's all good.
"Whether he is straight, gay, black, white, from Earth, or from Mars is immaterial," said Miami Heat forward Shane Battier.
Added New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi: "He's a player, he's a man. My job is to be his friend and love him. If I was his manager it's to get the most out of him, and if I was a player, I always felt as a player it was to be the best teammate I could be. And that's the bottom line."
Collins finished this season with the Wizards, traveling, practicing, playing, dressing and hanging out with the same men, day after day after day.
They had no idea he was gay.
"No, I didn't know about it! I don't think anyone did!" Wizards guard Bradley Beal wrote in a text message. "I am proud of his decision to come out and express the way he feels and I'm supportive of that!! I never judge anyone, that's his decision and his life to live!"
Wizards owner Ted Leonsis talked with Collins on Monday, saying that he told him, "we are proud of you and I support you in every way possible."
Collins' message was not unanimously well received. Countless tweets about Collins included a gay slur. In New York, well-known sports radio host Mike Francesa called the story "a dramatic attempt to sell a magazine." Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace had to backtrack from, delete and eventually apologize for two tweets he posted about the Collins story, in which he said he did not understand homosexuality.
Still, the praise Collins got far outweighed anything else.
"I don't think it's any of my business to be anything but respectful of the way people want to live their life," Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said.
The news apparently took almost everyone who is outside of Collins' innermost circle by surprise, including Judy Shepard, the mother of Matthew Shepard - a gay college student from Wyoming who was killed in 1998. Collins switched his jersey number to 98 this season, a silent tribute that he never even told the Shepard family about.
"We're especially happy that now he feels free to be himself," Judy Shepard said in a telephone interview. "We're happy for him, relieved that his news is being received so well across the board."
And it was.
Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson, when asked on Twitter if he ever played with a gay teammate, responded by saying, "who cares?" Actor Neil Patrick Harris, who came out nearly a decade ago, thanked Collins for "standing tall" - a nod to his height. NBA stars Kobe Bryant (who was fined $100,000 in 2011 after using a common homophobic slur during a game) and Dwyane Wade sent messages of support. And Golden State Warriors president Rick Welts, who is gay, lauded Collins as "a man of great courage."
"We should all be tolerant. Not only tolerant but accepting," Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun said. "I think it's a great thing. I think everyone should be encouraged to be comfortable and confident in who they are. I think, hopefully, that this will be the first step in the right direction for anybody that's going through some of the same things he's been going through."
But, not everyone in pro sports has embraced Collins' news. Mike Wallace of the Miami Dolphins tweeted out that he doesn't understand. "All these beautiful women in the world, and guys wanna mess with other guys," he tweeted. The post was later removed.

After a cryptic post by Tom Shales, referencing "December 31st" and being "over-and-outta here," appeared on Washington Post chairman Don Graham's Facebook wall yesterday, TBD.com suggested that WaPo's longtime TV critic may be quitting the Post. Sources tell FishbowlDC that there have been rumblings that he is unhappy with Hank Stuever's recent promotion to WaPo's main critic – a transition that redefined Shales as a columnist. According to sources inside the newsroom "there is still a struggle over who reviews what."
When reached for comment, a WaPo spokesperson told FishbowlDC, "Tom has been on contract since he took the buyout and he is still on contract."

Reds overcome early deficit to take set
Reds overcome early deficit
MILWAUKEE -- Far from being road warriors the past couple of seasons, the Reds often played more like accidental tourists in their gray uniforms. A six-game road trip to play the Cubs and Brewers proved to be the first break the Reds' brutal 2007 road schedule had allowed. Sure, they were playing the National League Central's top two teams. But after five straight 10-day trips, most of them over multiple time zones, this one seemed like an overnight getaway. And they caught a slumping Brewers team for their first trip to Milwaukee this season.
With a 7-6 come-from-behind win on Sunday at Miller Park, the Reds took two of three in the series from the Brewers. By going 4-2 over the last six games, it marked the first winning road trip for Cincinnati since June 19-26, 2006. Cincinnati trailed by a 5-0 score after three innings and battled back. The Reds were 0-11-2 over the previous 13 road trips. "We're all going home happy," said interim manager Pete Mackanin, whose club batted .339 (75-for-221) on the trip. "I couldn't have predicted the [game's] outcome but I was sure happy with it." "It's a tough road trip and we won four out of six," said catcher Javier Valentin, who provided the game-winning, two-run double as a pinch-hitter in the eighth. "Nobody expected to do that with these two teams, the Cubs and Milwaukee." Valentin, the club's top pinch-hitter who has taken on regular catching duties since David Ross went down with a concussion last week, was given a rest from the starting lineup Sunday. He spent the whole game in the bullpen warming up pitchers. Milwaukee reliever Scott Linebrink (4-4) had a 6-5 lead in the eighth when he issued a one-out walk to Adam Dunn and back-to-back singles to Jeff Conine and Edwin Encarnacion to load the bases. The phone rang to the Reds bullpen in the eighth, but it wasn't for a pitcher. Valentin was summoned to pinch-hit and had to run to the dugout from right field, grab a bat and enter for rookie Ryan Jorgensen. What was really surprising was that the Brewers' bullpen door remained closed. Valentin, a switch-hitter that's better from the left side, faced the right-handed Linebrink. Meanwhile, submarine throwing lefty Brian Shouse was warmed up and waiting. "As I was running to the dugout, I decided to take my time because I thought they would bring in a lefty," Valentin said. Valentin worked a full count before hitting a laser to left-center field that bounced over the fence for a ground-rule double that scored Dunn and Conine. "It was difficult," Valentin said. "You don't have a chance to get loose or ready. That's tough. My only swing today was on the first pitch." Valentin is 3-for-13 (.231) this season vs. lefties and was 42-for-144 (.292) vs. right-handers. Yet this was the matchup Brewers manager Ned Yost wanted. "I wanted to face Valentin from the left side," Yost said. "If he got Valentin out, I was going to bring in Shousy to face a lefty [pinch-hitter Ken Griffey Jr.]. I liked Linebrink right there in that situation." With Reds starter Aaron Harang laboring early, late-inning drama seemed unlikely. Harang surrendered four home runs, including three in the first three innings, and was in a 5-0 hole. Ryan Braun led off the second with a home run to left field. Bill Hall crushed a two-run homer to left field later in the inning. At one point in the second inning, Mackanin and head trainer Mark Mann came out to the mound to see if anything was wrong with Harang. The right-handed ace sent them back saying he wasn't injured. "It was one of those days when I went out there and I couldn't get into a rhythm," Harang said. "Everything felt kind of stiff. It was hard to let it go." In the third inning with one out, Prince Fielder lifted a two-run homer to right field. "After the Fielder home run, it looked like he got ticked off and said, 'You know what? I'm going after this and not worrying about it,'" Mackanin said. "He started pitching better." After Fielder's long ball, Harang struck out four in a row and retired 11 of the next 13. He allowed six earned runs and nine hits over 6 2/3 innings without a walk and eight strikeouts. "I figured I would just let it go and see what happens after that," said Harang, who has allowed seven homers in his last two starts. "Obviously, it worked." Against Brewers lefty Chris Capuano, Dunn hit a two-run homer to center field in the fourth. In the sixth, Brandon Phillips also launched a two-run homer to center. Dunn was hit by a pitch and used a pair of wild pitches to advance to third base and scored the tying run on Conine's sacrifice fly. J.J. Hardy's leadoff homer in the seventh against Harang put Milwaukee up, 6-5. Reliever Bill Bray (2-0) threw all of one pitch in the inning and got Fielder to fly out for the victory. After Valentin provided the go-ahead runs, reliever Jared Burton came through with a scoreless eighth. Closer David Weathers put two runners on in the ninth but held up the win for his 25th save. The Brewers have lost six of seven and 15 of their last 21.

OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN // Finally Gerard Butler steps away from the romantic comedy doldrums and into the role he was meant to play. Taking on the task of defending the White House, "Olympus Has Fallen" is the first of two Washington D.C. terrorist attack films centered around the President's house set to release this year ("White House Down" coming this summer). And for the most part, Fuqua's action film sets the bar high, with a stacked ensemble cast including Aaron Eckhardt, Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, and Dillan McDermott.
The script is tight, providing plenty of tasks that are never easy, but that never take too long. Butler is a shining example of what an action hero should be, focused and smart, brash and determined. "Olympus Has Fallen" was the "Die Hard" film we were waiting for this year with enough originality and darkness to set it apart. As cheesy as the advertisements made it seem, this film rises above and produces a respectable action film.

Tbilisi, Georgia - People across the vast territory where Josef Stalin once imposed his terror have marked the 133th anniversary of the dictator's birth, some in hatred but others in reverence.
In Moscow, several hundred Russian Communists laid flowers at Stalin's grave at the Red Square Friday, while smaller rallies were held across Russia and several former Soviet republics.
There were smaller gestures in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, where Stalin was born in 1879. There the 83-year-old owner of a small museum on Stalin kissed a bust of the dictator on its lips, vowing to expand his collection.
Meanwhile, ethnic Crimean Tatars in the southern Ukrainian city of Simferopol demolished a small street exhibition on Stalin, remembering deportations of their people that he ordered during World War II. - Sapa-AP

Other treatment options?
I have tried several different medications for my epilepsy, but my seizures are not controlled. What other treatment options are there?
Unfortunately for some people with epilepsy, currently available medications are unable to completely control seizures; in fact, for about 1 in 3 with epilepsy, seizures remain uncontrolled (this is called "medication resistant" or "refractory" epilepsy). Once an individual does not respond to trials of three different seizure medications, the chance for complete seizure control is less than 10 percent. Fortunately, there are other options available that may offer good chances for seizure control.
The first step in determining treatments for medication resistant epilepsy is to determine the epilepsy syndrome. There are two major categories of epilepsies: partial in onset and generalized in onset. In partial epilepsy, seizures begin in a specific or focal area of the brain. In the generalized epilepsies, seizures do not arise in a focal region of the brain, but involve the entire brain at seizure onset. The distinction between partial and generalized epilepsies is made by taking a complete history of the epilepsy (age on onset, types of seizures) and by using the electroencephalogram (EEG). The type of epilepsy affects the choice of medication because some seizure medications are not effective for generalized epilepsies. Thus, one of the potential reasons that an individual may continue to have seizures is the incorrect medication is chosen for the epilepsy type.
If a patient has partial epilepsy, then surgery may be an excellent treatment option and may offer up to a 60 to 90 percent chance of seizure freedom depending on the results of a comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation. The evaluation for surgery is performed at specialized epilepsy centers and basically involves pinpointing the location in the brain of seizure onset. There are multiple tests that are performed including video/EEG monitoring, several different brain imaging tests and testing of language and memory function.
Unfortunately, many patients who are good candidates for epilepsy surgery are never referred for evaluation and these individuals continue to have unnecessary seizures despite being excellent candidates for surgery.

Intel components improve speed. Added FrontRow multimedia interface and remote. Integrated iSight Webcam. Excellent software bundle in the iLife '06 suite.
No improvement in battery life. Some multimedia applications that aren't universal binary will run more slowly on Intel-based Macs. System runs hot. One-button mouse. Only two USB ports. Dual-layer DVD support is gone.
Bottom Line
For typical users running the iLife suite, iTunes, and even non-universal-binary applicationssuch as Microsoft Office and Adobe productsthe MacBook Pro is a solid notebook. It's a sweet upgrade from the PowerBook G4, and new users will like it just the same. But for sophisticated media enthusiasts or professionals, we suggest you wait a couple of months, or at least until the software can catch up with the Intel components, before diving in.
the feature set has its strengths and drawbacks. the upside is that apple integrated the isight camera, and with the growing popularity of video chats and the excellent resolution of the isight, this move made a lot of sense. the downside is the macbook still has only two usb ports; other 15.4-inch notebooks have four or more. even the core duo apple mac mini has four usb ports. apple abandoned the firewire 800 port, leaving only the firewire 400 port. it moved from a more widely used pc card slot to a product-deficient express card slot. you can connect your macbook pro to a tv and really put frontrow on display, but you'll have to do it via the dvi-d port. the s-video port is gone, though you can get a dvi-d to s-video converter for $19.
a huge advantage of going with an apple notebook is the plenitude of included software. the ilife '06 software suite comes preinstalled with the macbook pro. it's simple to create dvds with idvd. you can create cinematic video clips with imovie hd, edit and share photos with iphoto, and record your own podcasts with garageband 3. a new application called iweb lets you create personal blogs on the fly. you can publish photos and video instantly on the web with a handful of clicks. iweb is probably the friendliest web-publishing tool on the market right now, but it does require a .mac account, which will run you $99.95 a year per membership.
so how do i imagine the ideal macbook pro? they nailed down the form factor. the design is almost flawless. i would like to see a two-button mouse and at least three usb ports. apple should seriously consider integrating 3g wireless, like verizon's ev-do or even the slower, edge from cingular. in the past, not many 3g pc cards supported the mac platform, and now there are even fewer with the new express card slot. i'm not overly concerned about battery life, but i would like to see an extended battery pack. finally, there's the ongoing issue of dual-booting windows with the new macbook pro. windows xp does not support the efi bios, which runs the macbook pro. it doesn't work, and if someone can figure it out, there's a $12,456 reward out there. microsoft vista, on the other hand, does support the efi bios, but it's still in beta. in other words, it probably doesn't work either.
for typical users running the ilife '06 suite, itunes, and even nonuniversal applications such as microsoft office and adobe products, the apple macbook pro is a solid notebook. it's a sweet upgrade from the powerbook g4, and windows users switching over will like it just the same. but for sophisticated media enthusiasts or professionals, we suggest you wait a couple of months, or at least until the software can catch up with the intel components, before diving in.

Hello. It's been rather a long time hasn't it? You know it's very possible that in the months past, I may have forgotten how to blog, so please bear with me.
First off, I know I owe it to you to give some semblance of explanation for our absence. The beginning of this tale is a happy one. It started with a few sunny days, which morphed into a few sunny weeks, and quite for the first time since my own childhood, we spent every spare moment life offered outdoors. A joy and a bind, (but not in equal measure, you'll be glad to hear…) A joy to share sparkling summer days with family and friends, lazy afternoons with nothing to do but swim, bbq and soak heat and goodness from the sun into our skin. A bind because, well, nothing else particular got done…
Except for work, which did its devilish best to run roughshod right all over our shiny, happy summer. Less so mine (although it had its moments) but more that of Mr Mavis, who is rather more familiar with the dreary tarmac of the M4 and trudging tracks of the Cornish Riviera line than he might prefer. And PowerPoint.
Writing in retrospect, actually, I'm downplaying the impact that our work lives had on our summer. My memory of summer 2013 will be more beach than boardroom but quite honestly, without the glorious weekend afternoons spent dipping in and out of the sea, and lingering about on the sand, in truth our summer would have been buried in work commitments and barely recognisable as a life. With no option to dial down the work hours (raising a SWAN ain't cheap and our main source of family income sure isn't paying what it should, no names named oh phone company dear to my heart) we just had to keep on keeping on.
All this would be fine. Fine. But were it not for a small boy whose needs are rather, what you might call, intense. Appointments, therapy, more appointments, more therapy, and all that delightful admin shiz in between. You're familiar with the score by now. We have no choice but to keep the show on the road for Orange constantly. Every day of every week of every year. And yet as the summer wound along, I found it harder and harder to keep up with everything. A spiral of inertia, I guess. I lost my drive, my enthusiasm, my hope, just a little. Therapy became something I just didn't want to do. I felt guilty for letting him down. My little boy who really, quite honestly, is mostly dependent on my input to allow him to develop at all.
Instead of being the boundless cheerleader and perpetual provider of appropriate stimulus and input, I found I could raise little energy to do anything. Orange's four daily reps of his Snowdrop programme (brushing, squeezing, hand massage, spinning, listening, visual tracking and repeat), his daily torture hour in his standing frame, his daily all-fours exercise over a rubber tube, box-sitting practice, assisted crawling, directed play, Makaton signing, finger food practice, repetitive singing, storytelling and assisted pointing all of a sudden didn't seem so manageable anymore.
By July I was teetering on the edge of reason, and by August, tipped over the edge by the school holidays (read, The Beep at home all day, every day and those of you who know her know just what this means) and some quite unreasonable but quite in-character behaviour from some dear relatives of ours, I needed a break.
So, Orange and I took some time off. Two whole weeks. No appointments. No therapy. And certainly no form filling. Although the Department for Work & Pensions must have a deep sense of irony, you can always trust a Disability Living Allowance renewal form to land on your doormat the very day you have sobbed all over your Portage worker and decided a break might be in order (don't worry, I still haven't filled it in)…
A break was just what we needed. We hung out with old friends, indulged in a little cliff top camping, ate, drank and swam. And switched right off from our world. It had got so bad, I couldn't even face writing this blog. And while we are now back in the game in grand style (new Snowdrop programme, sensory room kit ordered, new standing frame going great guns and daily therapy right on track), I have learnt a valuable lesson. Breaks are vital. I have another planned right about round Christmas.
Until then, expect plenty of goss from the Orangery. The boy is bigger, badder, and bolder than he was before the summer so all that lounging about on the beach must have done him as much good as it did us. Loud, strong-willed and mischievous he's becoming quite the toddler… here he is, giving me a right good telling off… which as well as a break, is quite probably what the doctor ordered.

No Man's Land
I am sitting here in a place between truth and lie
A place a color of gray that no one can define
My soul had been poured out the day before
The colors it bled was nor black or white
But blue like the sky before a rain
And red like a person who had nothing to gain
Everyone was confused,
Where would they put me?
My soul not easily perceived
Was I good or bad?
Strong or naive?
Who I was with before had meaning no more
They sat for days debating the matter
When they remembered a place made for the indefinable,
The ones who could not be labeled
A punishment it seemed to me,
A punishment for being unique
So here I sit as I write in a place from which I cannot move

"I think we start off the year with a bang and end with a whimper," he said. Analysts are looking for earnings to climb just 7.6% in the first three months of the year, the weakest pace of growth since the third quarter of 2002. For the whole year, earnings are projected to rise 10.5%, down from more than 19% in 2004. Metz said even those estimates could be at risk if the Federal Reserve raises interest rates aggressively and slows down economic growth more than expected. In the minutes of the Fed's last meeting, policy officials said inflation could become a problem without further tightening. Economists are generally looking for short-term rates to climb to between 3.25% and 3.5% by the end of the year, up from 2.25% currently. "I would expect by end of the first quarter, the picture will have changed and the universal euphoria will have given way to more skepticism," Metz said. Brett Gallagher, head of U.S. equities at Julius Baer Investment Management, said that while he expects some companies to lower their profit estimates over the next few weeks, most of the downward revisions are likely to come later in the year. "Expectations are building in a best-case scenario and not leaving a lot of room for error," he said. "I suspect with interest rates moving up and the economy being as unpredictable as it is, that this finds its way to earnings." Some analysts note that high energy prices could also depress profit margins this year. So far, companies have been forced to absorb these expenses rather than pass them on to consumers. Last week, Delta Air Lines ( DAL), Northwest Airlines ( NWAC) and other airlines actually lowered air fares in an effort to lure customers.

America needs stronger federal gun control laws to fight the scourge of gun violence in our cities that threatens even children in their own schoolrooms. We know this because our peripatetic president, the civilian disarmament caucus in congress and the Gun Control Industrial Complex tell us so. Every chance they get. The only thing standing between the current sad state of affairs and the peace and tranquility that reigns in places like the UK is having the moral courage it takes to enact common sense measures such as an assault weapons ban and stiffer prohibitions against gun trafficking. But if all that's true – if federal prosecutors are under-gunned (so to speak) when trying to fight gangs and straw purchasers – why were Chicago, LA and New York dead last federal gun law enforcement last year? . . .
usnews.com has sifted through the data from Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) report:
The districts of Eastern New York, Central California, and Northern Illinois ranked 88th, 89th and 90th, respectively, out of 90 districts, in prosecutions of federal weapons crimes per capita last year, but it wasn't always this way. All three districts fell lower on the list than they had been in years past. In 2010, for example, Chicago was 78th in federal weapons prosecutions.
So while the blood-soaked City of Big Shoulders racked up more than 500 murders committed with firearms last year, where was the D0J devoting most of its resources in the fight against illegal guns? On the mean streets of southern Alaska, Kansas and western Tennessee, naturally enough.
Susan Long, a statistician and co-director of TRAC, said the data revealed a stronger federal enforcement presence in rural areas than urban ones. "If taxpayers of [a certain area] don't pass strong gun control measures … the feds pick up the ball," she said. "But now we've got sequestration cutting back on all these resources."
So our betters in Washington have looked across the fruited plain and have seen a big disparity. They figure that all the civil rights abrogating anti-gun laws on the books in places like Chicago and New York mean Rahm and Mike have things well in hand, gun-wise. No really.
Then there are places that take a more, laissez faire approach to their citizens owning and using firearms. The feds obviously see this, sigh and figure that if the dumb rubes who occupy flyover country won't enact the same kinds of common sense laws their more enlightened urban big brothers have, then it's up to them to step in and do something about it.
And it's hard to blame them, really. Who could look at Chicago and not conclude that all those gun laws are doing the job?
34 Responses to Feds Focus Gun Law Enforcement on Rural America
Fix your urban mess that you created morons, rural America is just fine without DC fu**ing this up too
The clowns in the District of Corruption have screwed up anything they touch!
"If taxpayers of [a certain area] don't pass strong gun control measures … the feds pick up the ball,"
What "ball" lady? The Feds aren't making new laws, they aren't taking Chicago gun laws and enforcing them in South Dakota. They're just refusing to enforce the existing laws in urban areas, areas with astronomically higher crime rates, gun and otherwise… aaaaand you're ok with this.
You can't enforce them in the ghetto; that would be called "intolerance" and "racism".
It would be called "suicide."
On it's surface this seems like a giant anti-redneck conspiracy, but there may be a couple of logical explanations for this.
First, it would make sense that areas with higher firearms ownership rates would have higher incidences of firearms owners running afoul of federal gun laws.
Second, in cities like Chicago the local and state laws are far stricter than federal laws. Illegal NFA firearms are more likely to pop up in Montana than Chicago. The gang bangers are shooting up the place with perfectly legal (federally) Glocks with 17 round magazines. They're not too concerned with short barreled rifles or silencers.
"First, it would make sense that areas with higher [LEGAL] firearms ownership rates would have higher incidences of firearms owners running afoul of federal gun laws."
That would make sense if we looked only at legal ownership. For example; Chicago has a very low rate rate of legal firearm owners. However, no one is suggesting Chicago is gun free.
Every thug with a record that gets picked up with a gun is in violation of a federal gun law.
While I don't have any statistics to back it up, I'm guessing that the overall rate of gun ownership, legal and illegal, is still much higher in places like Montana than Chicago.
The larger discrepancy probably lies in the fact that many firearms are perfectly legal under federal law but strictly verboten in Chicago. The gang bangers aren't too interested in the long guns that most of the federal laws pertain to.
I'm sorry, but this logically does not compute
I'd had to disagree with Gov. P above.
There's plenty of localized LE attention regarding firearms in Chicago, at least. At the Federal level, id say the reason they're going after rural folk is because we ironically follow the law.
What's an easier case for a revenue hungry Federal LE agency to bring; an NFA chare against a Tennessee resident who lets slip they got an unregistered SBR, or a gang hanger who steals an untraceable Glock with a filed off serial #? More importantly, who's less likely to shoot at the ATF when they serve the arrest or search warrant?
Furthermore, there's a racial element to consider. Haul too many black people and Hispanics into prison for gun crimes, and the ACLU and liberal elite will come down on the Feds like a pack of wolves. "ATF= Racists" , the headlines will say. Buh-bye budget increase.
It's a numbers game. Prosecuting rural folk not only serves a political message, its much safer for the cops and much less likely to trigger a riot or even worse, a speech from Al Sharpton.
Let me put it another way. Let's suppose there was a federal speed limit, say 75mph, and they employed an army of federal police to enforce it. Now in Montana everyone owns a car and drives long distances, so it's likely that many people would press their luck and drive faster. On the other hand very few people in New York City even own a car and even if they did the city imposes speed limits much slower than 75mph. Very few people will be caught by federal police for driving 80mph in a 25mph speed zone because the local police will bust them for driving 30mph.
The federal (gun) laws are arbitrary and pointless as they don't effect the murder or violent crime rates at all. But if the local governmental restrictions are far more extreme it makes sense that there wouldn't be an abundance of violators left for federal agents to pick off.
Problem is, driving 80 MPH in a 25 in a city like NYC, would take care of the problem in a messier way. Oh the cops would have to deal with it, as a traffic fatality.
But… From what I "get" you are saying that "uncle bob" out in the sticks, feels he can get away with making an AR into a full auto, equip it with a silencer/suppressor and have a 10 1/2″ barrel on it, while the gang-banger won't dare?
The gang bangers aren't generally gun savvy enough to make such illegal alterations to a firearm. Granted they might be interested in purchasing a stolen fully auto Mac 10, but due to the near ban on such a weapon they are very rare and valuable and likely to be well secured.
The way the gangs put their firearms to use in the inner cities has a lot in common with driving 80mph in a 25mph zone, including the lethal results.
They should be putting resources where they are needed. Since Chicago has a high crime and murder rate and the locals are supposedly overwhelmed, then the feds should be helping them with the violent crime. This is not the case, the feds are going where the low hanging fruit is. So, I disagree with your analysis governor.
Bring your liberal gestapo to Tennessee..we are locked and loaded and itching for a good 2nd Amendmend battle!
I'm driving to Tennessee next week to visit family near Nashville. Always love coming to the great Volunteer State, now even more so. Go Vols!
It's not about crime levels, nor homicide rates, it's about an agency that is so out of control the agents who do the enforcement decide where they want to live. If they don't want to live inside inner city crime zones, they won't and no one can make them. They will go to where they wish and the agency be damned.
google "low hanging fruit"
I just did – bullseye!
US News doesn't seem to point out exactly what they qualify
as a weapons violation, so I am assuming it means any illegal
activity that involves a firearm.
There could be a number of reasons for the differences. I
think part of it may stem from necessity or even laziness on
the part of prosecutors. For example, if a person is charged
with murder via a gun, is the prosecutor going to focus on the
murder charge or the illegal weapon use? Would a conviction
of murder necessitate the need to add the weapons charge?
Ideally, it would matter, but I can see a DA ignoring lesser
charges in order to focus on the main problem. Just a thought.
From what I understand (not a lawyer, blah blah blah), prosecutors have skipped the "focus" step and just throw as many changes with as wide a range of severity just to see what sticks. It isn't about a violation of a specific law, it's about getting you on anything if you come to there attention.
You'd also have to look at agents / 1000 heads in each geographical area.
It's not a prosecution is just some random event – it requires manpower and investigations. And, I GUARANTEE you that there is not even a normal distribution of agents per 1000 people across all geographies – much less a constant one.
Free people in free states — why wouldn't the ATF target them?
I'm thinking that gang-bangers shooting other gang-bangers is not really a problem (as long as they complete the job), hence less attention by the feds. The local po-po have to deal with the unintended casualties, not the feds.
"But now we've got sequestration cutting back on all these resources."
I'm sick and tired of these people. A 2% reduction is an increase of 14% protected NEW spending IS NOT A F**KING CUT!
i will say this: chicago at least is RABID at prosecuting people with guns. maybe the feds don't pick up the ball, but we have had mandatory penitentiary time in place for first time offenders merely possessing a firearm for over 2 years now. i have not seen anyone get anything OTHER than a prison sentence if they had a gun or committed a crime while having a gun. so as much as the federal prosecution might be lacking, at least in chicago and cook county, they will and DO imprison any and everyone who has a gun. no ifs ands or buts. the sentences might be as little as a year, but more often, between 6 and 30 years in the penitentiary. add to that that if you have 2 previous convictions for a gun case and / or drugs (and others) you are looking at a mandatory 6-30 year sentence, and if you have 2 previous class x convictions, then you are looking at mandatory life in prison. guns in chicago and guns in cook county are the single biggest driving force behind heavy handed police tactics that make most residents of especially the most crime ridden neighborhoods fear and distrust the police. add to that the lack of otherwise law abiding individuals from possessing a firearm in public, and the mix you get, is murder capital of america. aka ChIraq
Too bad you guys suck at catching any criminals in the first place. You can prosecute all day long, but when you're batting 1 for 100 it doesn't do much good.
That map is 'a picture worth a thousand words'. Overlay it with another, that deals with second amendment rights, and i think you'll find a few similarities 🙂
Here's an idea for 'common sense' gun laws… how about you crank up the minimum required sentences for those convicted of violent crime involving the use of a firearm?!?!?!
I know it's a bit unrealistic, it would be decried racist the second of it's proposal.
Take the evil among us, and punish them. Make an example. It worked in the past, and it will work now. Hammurabi will tell you all about it.
But, then… what would i know? I'm just a bible-clinging, woman-hating, snaggletooth racist rich old white guy. I'm even a member of the terrorist organization known as the "NRA" who's only purpose in life is to screw over the 99%, kill minorities, and defenseless children.
Actually, however… that's all a lie. The only real reason I own a child/minority bfg9000 super atomic assault rifle, is because I have to compensate for my small item 🙁 …. woe is me
using a gun in a crime should add 100 years with no parole to the sentence.
America needs less guns, more gun laws, regulations… or when someone threatens your life you can shoot them dead. Like others have said, if you would rather criminals kill you fine, don't lay that on us though. I don't think this is a fight they should have started, Randy
The words are there on the paper, so that must mean everyone in that location is doing what they say. That is actually their thesis right there. Which is frightening, I can't really think of any other governing body in human history that has ever been that stupid. In Rome you were not allowed weapons in the city, not even soldiers. Don't ever doubt if you walked around there you would have seen plenty of togas heavy on the left side.
What would Henry Bowman say about this ?

Every November, I remember the Thanksgiving when a woman asked me to find a home for her unborn baby. She was homeless, and I was letting her live in my home for a while. I immediately thought of a friend who was going through the agony of searching for a child and was pretty much stunned into silence for a minute.
Once again I thought, God is with us. I felt a wonder at the way the world is all tied together, united by one loving being. It became hard for me believe in coincidences after that.
There is now a 7-year-old in this world with loving parents who also know that God is good.
Unfortunately, there are those who doubt the existence of God, and I get frustrated when I have to bite my tongue — knowing that arguing with them is an exercise in futility. I think anyone who has ever written persuasively can understand: We know our words will only change the opinion of someone ready to change. Otherwise, the argument becomes a stalemate of two people scratching their heads and wondering why the other person is so foolish.
However, I can only hold my tongue for so long. Recently I read a widely shared quote by naturalist filmmaker Sir David Attenborough from a 60 Minutes interview: "I don't know. People sometimes say to me why don't you admit that the hummingbird and the butterfly and the bird of paradise are proof of the wonderful things produced by creation. And I always say, 'Well, when you say that you've also got to think of a little boy sitting on a riverbank like here in West Africa that's got a little worm, a living organism, that's in its eye and boring through its eyeballs and is slowly turning it blind. The creator God that you believe in presumably also made that little worm.' Now I personally find that difficult to accommodate …"
The words, quoted to me by an atheist I know and love who likes to take shots at Christians, made me want to pound my head against the wall. Why do atheists think that believers worship a Harry Potter-like God? I don't think that any true believer in God ever thought that God was a being that could wave a magic wand and make all things well.
In fact, our understanding is that we will never have a perfect life in this existence; we are only promised that believers will have eternal life. Please notice that I say "believers." I think that there are many of us who feel God could appear to other groups in other forms — not every nation could relate to a Jewish man that spoke Aramaic. There are many notes in the symphony that is God, but they all blend together to make one song.
So I will continue singing that song. When I think of the woman who gave her little boy to loving parents, I remember another woman who gave her son to the world. In 2006 I watched an adopting mother first caress her baby's cheeks and hands. We cried out of joy and love. So I will never doubt that my Redeemer lives, and that love is always there if we just accept it.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Court of Appeals has affirmed the convictions of a former nurse found guilty of aiding the suicides of two people.
Forty-nine-year-old William Melchert-Dinkel of Faribault was convicted in 2011 of aiding the suicides of a British man and a Canadian woman. Court documents show he searched for depressed people online and offered instructions on how they could kill themselves.
He admitted his actions were morally wrong but argued he was exercising free speech. He also argued that Minnesota's law outlawing someone to encourage suicide was unconstitutional.
The appeals court disagreed.
Melchert-Dinkel was sentenced to more than six years in prison but terms of his parole called for him to actually serve about a year in jail. He has been free pending his appeal.

DAHLONEGA - Dr. Bonita Jacobs, president of North Georgia College & State University, has been named to the Community College Advisory Panel (CCAP), a national group comprising college presidents and chancellors and dedicated to promoting national recognition of community colleges and access to higher education.
"I am honored and delighted to become a member of the College Board's
Community College Advisory Panel," Jacobs said. "A robust community
college system supports the needs of students and increases postsecondary
educational opportunities. I am eager to continue the dialog about the
increasingly critical role that access colleges play in the national
higher education agenda."
Two of the panel's key initiatives, access to higher education and student
transfers, are topics in which Jacobs has much experience.
Jacobs has researched and written extensively on the topic of student
transfers as it relates to student success and higher education
administration. She is a frequent keynote speaker and consultant on
transfer student issues and previously served as executive director of the
National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students, which strives to
increase access to and attainment of higher education by promoting
successful student transfers. The institute recently moved to the North
Georgia campus from its former location in Texas and is under the
leadership of a new director, Dr. Janet Marling.
Members of the panel, which meets two times a year, are appointed to
three-year terms.
