PolitiFact Florida: Dick Greco's claim about parking is Barely True
In his run for a fifth term as Tampa's mayor, Dick Greco often holds up a 75-page report as proof of his track record and experience. This is one of the many statements that it includes: "Financed the largest parking expansion program without a rate increase." PolitiFact Florida, the campaign and political fact-checking arm of the St. Petersburg Times, scrutinized Greco's expansion of the parking system and its impact on city finances. PolitiFact rates the statement as Barely True. To find out why, see www.tampabay.com/news/politics/politifact-florida-dick-grecos-parking-rate-increase-claim-is-barely-true/1151377

Final 'The Last Stand' trailer will get you excited
Arnold is back in his first lead role since leaving politics. It looks good. If there's one Hollywood trend that I'm excited about right now, it's South Korean directors getting jobs here. That country's film scene has produced some incredible talents in the last decade or so. Case in point: Kim Jee-Woon, who directed 2008's awesome action epic The Good, The Bad & The Weird and 2010's thriller I Saw The Devil is getting his first English-language shot with The Last Stand, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a small-town cop facing off against an insane Mexican drug kingpin and his band of mercenaries. Sounds awesome. The Last Stand opens on January 18, 2013.

The Frances Perkins Tuition Scholarship covers the cost of tuition for incoming Frances Perkins students. The tuition scholarship is limited to 128 credits, including any credits transferred in. If additional credits are transferred in after the initial awarding of the scholarship, this will be factored into the student's remaining eligibility. Students living on campus are expected to enroll in 16 credits per semester. Students who live off campus must take a minimum of 8 credits. Students do not need to apply for need-based financial aid to be considered for or to renew the scholarship.
Scholarship Renewal and Satisfactory Academic Progress:
The scholarship is renewed automatically in subsequent years provided the student maintains satisfactory academic progress (SAP) as defined by Mount Holyoke College. Students who earn 16 credits per semester with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher generally maintain SAP.
Students who are placed on probation will receive the scholarship for one semester of probation. If the student continues on academic probation for a subsequent semester, the scholarship will be cancelled for that semester and all subsequent periods of enrollment. In the rare case where a student is suspended for academic reasons, she will be ineligible for the scholarship upon her return. She will be eligible to apply for need-based funding from the College up to the funding limitations.
Medical Leave Policy:
If a student withdraws from all classes for medical reasons, a refund calculation will be done based on the standard refund schedule. The scholarship will be prorated to match the same percentage as the revised tuition charged. Any unused portion of the scholarship can be applied toward an additional semester of study once the funding limitations have been reached. A student who leaves after the 9th week of classes but before the semester is completed will not be eligible for an additional semester of funding even if she does not earn any credits during the semester she took the medical leave.
Study Abroad/Academic leave:
The scholarship cannot be used for study abroad or other academic leave except for special foreign exchanges where Mount Holyoke College tuition is charged. Study abroad and academic leave semesters count toward the 128 credit limit even when the scholarship is not available for those periods.
Although the scholarship is not transferable, scholarship recipients can apply for need-based aid for study abroad through the Laurel Fellowship program. Please note that need-based funding is available only if the cost of attendance of the study abroad program exceeds the calculated family contribution as determined by Student Financial Services. Need-based student loans are packaged before determining any need-based grant aid eligibility.
Outside Scholarships:
Outside Scholarships, Veterans benefits, or Employee benefits that are earmarked for tuition will replace the Frances Perkins (FP) Tuition Scholarship dollar for dollar. If the outside funding can be applied toward room and board or other direct costs, the FP Tuition Scholarship will not be reduced. However in no circumstances can the total aid, including the FP Scholarship, exceed the budget (cost of attendance). If the outside aid does exceed the cost of attendance the FP Tuition Scholarship will be reduced accordingly.
Additional Aid:
Domestic FPs may apply for federal and state aid as well as outside scholarships to help cover room and board or off campus living expenses. International FPs may receive a Mount Holyoke loan and college work-study in addition to the Frances Perkins Tuition Scholarship if they apply for need based financial aid. International FPs should plan to have resources available to cover travel costs, the College's health insurance fee and other miscellaneous expenses.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bank of America ( BAC) was the loser among the largest U.S. financial names on Wednesday, with shares falling 4% to close at $8.99. The broad indexes all saw declines of over 1% and the KBW Bank Index ( I:BKX) was down over 2% to close at 46.68, with all 24 index components seeing declines for the session. Financial stocks were weak early, but fell much harder after President Obama discussed the "fiscal cliff" during a White House press conference in the afternoon. The president and the Republican majority in the House of Representatives are negotiating over which "revenue enhancements" and spending cuts will be agreed upon, to avert the expiration of the tax cuts enacted when George W. Bush was president and extended by President Obama in 2010, as part of an agreement to increase the federal debt ceiling. Without a compromise, in addition to the expiration of the tax cuts, there will be major federal budget cuts, which many economists have said could push the U.S. economy back into recession. President Obama said during the press conference that "we face a very clear deadline that requires us to make some big decisions on jobs, taxes and deficits by the end of the year. Both parties voted to set this deadline and I believe that both parties can work together to make these decisions in a balanced and responsible way." According to a Washington Post transcript, the president said "I am open to compromise and I'm open to new ideas, and I've been encouraged over the past week to hear Republican after Republican agree on the need for more revenue from the wealthiest Americans as part of our arithmetic if we're going to be serious about reducing the deficit." President Obama then outlined "two pathways" for federal income taxes: "Option one, if Congress fails to act by the end of this year, everybody's taxes will automatically go up, including the 98 percent of Americans who make less than $250,000 a year, and the 97 percent of small businesses who earn less than $250,000 a year. That doesn't make sense. Our economy can't afford that right now. Certainly, no middle class family can afford that right now. And nobody in either party says that they want it to happen."

Times Art Critic
Collaborations between artists are always interesting, though successful collaborations are never guaranteed. They depend on a genuine connection with both ideas and methods, not copycatting or emulating, but reflecting an intuitive empathy.
Thus, there are mixed results in "Visual Unity: A Collaboration" at the Morean Arts Center. Rocky Bridges, a distinguished and nationally recognized artist who lives in our area, gathered 17 other artists who were paired off to riff on each other. Some of the results reminded me of the inharmonious plates sent out on Top Chef when two cooks can't seem to agree on their dish. A couple of them seemed to bypass the collaboration altogether with individual works that share a gallery wall and are fine on their own but don't, as far as I could see, share any commonality.
The pair that might have been the most disparate, Bridges and Duncan McClellan, seem perfectly simpatico in their joint efforts, especially Spiraling and Spinning. McClellan makes elegant glass vessels deeply etched and worked with elaborate color and imagery. Bridges combines found objects for mixed media "paintings" full of rough edges and wondrously eccentric combinations. McClellan's violet vessel, swirled with lines from a poem, borrows from Bridges' vocabulary in replacing the expected glass finial as a topper with a shard of metal twisted into a graceful arc. Bridges picks up McClellan's colors in his work, which is placed almost touching the glass. The installation works as a whole being more than the sum of its parts.
Richard Currier and Tony Eitharong are consummate painters and their three contributions are stunning. A joint piece is bracketed by two portraits they made of each other. The wall label for the central mixed media work refers to the famous incident in which Robert Rauschenberg erased a drawing given to him by Willem de Kooning and titled it Erased de Kooning, causing a big uproar. (The work's now in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.) Currier and Eitharong's Untitled looks to be an Eitharong makeover of an earlier Currier painting titled Suspended Ammunition. You have to wonder if Currier was as upset as de Kooning by the gesture.
No one here seems intent on advancing art history as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque did in the early 20th century with their breakthrough collaboration in cubism. The best way to approach this show is to take most of the individual art on its own terms.
• • •
Also at the Morean Arts Center is "Allison Massari: Pyrotechnic Luminescence." Massari is an immensely talented artist whose career — not to mention her life — was nearly destroyed in 1998 by a horrific car accident that left her with severe burns. Over a decade, she has recovered her health so that her talent, which never left her, has continued to blossom.
Eight of her collages are in the show, virtuoso turns in which she replaces paint with small pieces of paper arranged in elaborate mosaics. Massari has always favored a representational style, especially portraiture, and here she has created a gallery of beautiful, partly clothed women surrounded by aureoles in dense, bright patterns.
After what she has been through and continues to achieve, Massari deserves to create in whatever manner brings her inspiration. As a longtime admirer of her prodigious gifts, I wish for more emotional complexity.

This past Sunday afternoon, December 19, 2010, the University of Michigan had its 2010 Winter Commencement, and the commencement speaker was Princeton University Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs Daniel Kahneman, recipient of the 2002 Nobel Award in Economics and an important contributor to all sorts of fields, including behavioral economics and the perspective of positive psychology.
The Winter Commencement is much smaller than the Spring Commencement. It is held in the basketball arena and is attended by several thousand family members and friends of graduates as opposed to the tens of thousands who come to the football stadium in May.
But I like the smaller graduation ceremony more than the larger one precisely because it is smaller and more personal ... and certainly more convenient. Parking is not much of an issue, and neither are entrances nor exits. All Ph.D.s have their names called, and all degree recipients move across the stage and shake the hand of the Dean of their college, the University Provost, and/or the University President.
And I enjoyed the commencement speaker this December as much as I enjoyed the commencement speaker last May, which is saying something because the latter speaker was Barack Obama.
I do not personally know Professor Kahneman, although I have long followed and appreciated his work. This past semester, during my positive psychology course, I spoke about his ideas constantly, so much so that many of my students - when they heard that he would be the Winter Commencement speaker - became very excited and told me they planned to attend, even though it was not their own graduation.
After receiving an honorary degree, he spoke for about ten or fifteen minutes, and he did so in his typically wonderful way, meaning that he was clear and provocative and about the smartest person on the planet. To judge from his image on the Jumbotron above the stage, he also had a twinkle in his eye.
There was snow on the ground outside, and he started by discussing a study of life in Michigan versus life in California. Everyone, in Michigan and in California, believes that people are happier on the West Coast than in the Midwest because - after all - the weather is so much better. The audience chuckled. And as if we needed further convincing, he added to the audience still garbed in winter coats, gloves, and mufflers, "It really is better, you know."
But he went on to the punch line, which is that people in California are not happier than people in the Midwest. Weather may influence happiness, but whatever effects it may have are lost among all the other factors that influence happiness. People believe Californians to be happier when asked if they are, because the question leads them to focus on differences between California and the Midwest, and weather is an obvious difference. This phenomenon is called the focusing illusion and has broad applicability. When making comparative judgments, we are overly influenced by those things on which we focus - in this case weather.
To sum up the point, he said, "Nothing is as important as you think it is, at least when you are thinking about it." I was sitting next to a colleague, and upon hearing this one-sentence summary, we spontaneously turned toward one another, and each of us silently mouthed, "Wow."
The rest of his talk was about the experiencing self versus the remembering self, a distinction about which I have written, although he said it much better than I ever have. The happiness of each self matters, but they may have different determinants. The advice to the graduates (and to the rest of us) is to make appropriate choices about what we value and to behave accordingly. He summed up the differences tersely. To paraphrase: "The happiness of the remembering self is influenced by our achievements, and the happiness of the experiencing self is influenced by our positive emotions, which in turn result from other people."
To mention one more important idea of Professor Kahneman, what we remember about our good experiences is how they end. In the case of the University of Michigan December 2010 graduates, their college careers ended with a great commencement address by one of the most important thinkers of our time.
As for me, it was also a wonderful afternoon, as I experienced it and as I have remembered it.

Judge rules against Christian protestors at Philadelphia's 2004 Outfest
PHILADELPHIA A federal judge dismissed a freedom-of-speech lawsuit by members of a conservative Christian group who were arrested while picketing a street festival for gays and lesbians.
"There is no constitutional right to drown out the speech of another person," U.S. District Judge Lawrence Stengel wrote.
Organizers of the 2004 Outfest event tried to block the bullhorn-wielding, anti-gay protesters from entering the festival. Police allowed them to enter, but at each location they were surrounded by gay activists blowing whistles.
Eleven demonstrators affiliated with a group called Repent America were arrested after they refused a directive to move to another spot. The gay Pride event's organizers said the protesters were attempting to incite the crowd.
Stengel said the Outfest event had received proper city permits, and the evangelists failed to take appropriate measures to communicate their message, including applying for a permit to hold a counterprotest.
"This is an important decision that supports the First Amendment rights of organizers of all permitted events," said Jeremy Frey, attorney for Philly Pride Presents.
Ted Hoppe, an attorney for the Christian activists, said the Jan. 18 decision allows the government to deny free speech in public areas.
Robinson, gay bishop, says reports of schism in Episcopal Church exaggerated
HARTFORD, Conn. The openly gay bishop whose election spurred a schism in the Episcopal church that has played out in Connecticut and elsewhere said the scope of the rift has been exaggerated in the media.
Gene Robinson, bishop of New Hampshire, said there are a small minority of parishes at odds with the national church's liberal stance on homosexuality. The parishes are "seeking to get themselves recognized as the true expression of Anglicanism in this country and not inconsequentially get the Episcopal Church I don't know what the word is unrecognized as that legitimate expression. And I think they are using more conservative churches around the globe to support that claim," he said.
Robinson, leader of a 15,000-member diocese, was in Hartford Monday, Jan. 22 to speak at a luncheon attended by local church leaders.
"In a world facing 40 million people dying of AIDS and an increasing gap between rich and poor, this seems like a waste of our time and energy, debating the rightness and wrongness of gay and lesbian people and their relationships," he said. The current division over homosexuality in the church is not much different from an earlier split over ordaining women priests, he said.
"I think it breaks God's heart that we would be focusing on such an internal issue, instead of focusing upon the world which, as I understand it, Jesus called us to," Robinson said.
Robinson said after his stop in Hartford he was headed to the Sundance Film Festival, where a documentary, featuring his story and those of four other gay families, titled "For the Bible Tells Me So," has been nominated for a grand jury prize.
Former assistant professor files federal discrimination suit against Penn State
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. A former assistant professor has filed a federal lawsuit claiming she was denied a promotion and tenure at Penn State University because of her gender, open homosexuality, or advocacy on equity issues.
All three factors may have played a part, Constance R. Matthews, 51, said in the civil lawsuit filed Monday, Jan. 22, seeking back pay, compensatory damages, attorney fees and reinstatement.
Bill Mahon, a university spokesman, said Penn State generally does not comment on pending litigation.
Matthews, of State College, joined Penn State in 1998, applied for tenure in 2004, and was denied tenure in February 2005 by David Monk, dean of the education college, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit claims the college hosted an offensive, hostile or intimidating environment for women and sexual minorities.
The college hired three tenured men to be faculty members in its counselor-education program from 1998 to 2004, but hired no tenured women to teach in the program, the lawsuit claims, saying Matthews opposed such an environment. Katie R. Eyer, of Equality Advocates Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, said her positions put her in frequent opposition to Monk.
Conservative favorite Brownback officially launches campaign for Oval Office
TOPEKA, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback began a long-shot bid for president on Saturday, Jan. 20, hoping his reputation as a favorite son of the religious right can help him outdistance better known Republican rivals.
"I am a conservative and I'm proud of being a conservative," he proclaimed.
The two-term senator said he will fight to renew America's cultural values and pledged to focus on rebuilding families.
"Search the record of history. To walk away from the Almighty is to embrace decline for a nation," Brownback said. "To embrace Him leads to renewal, for individuals and for nations."
Brownback laced his speech with the themes that have made him a leader of the Republican Party's conservative wing and a strong spokesman in Congress for socially conservative Christians.
A fierce foe of abortion, he planned to return to Washington to participate in an anti-abortion rally Monday, Jan. 22, marking the 34th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision that established a nationwide right to the procedure. Brownback also opposes embryonic stem-cell research and gay marriage.
Wyoming lawmakers introduce bill to void gay marriages granted by other states
CHEYENNE, Wyo. Gay couples who marry in Massachusetts and move to Wyoming would suddenly find themselves single if some Wyoming legislators have their way: A bill has been introduced that would allow Wyoming to void same-sex marriages granted by other states.
Massachusetts is the only state that currently grants marriage licenses to same-sex couples; others permit civil unions but the proposed law only pertains to gay marriages. Wyoming already has a law in place that mandates marriages conducted in the state must be between a man and woman.
Bill requiring parental permission to join school clubs is revived in Virginia
RICHMOND, Va. Legislation requiring students at public high schools to have a parent's permission to participate in certain extracurricular clubs got new life Monday, Jan. 22.
The measure died in the House Education Committee last week on a tie vote, but was revived and passed Monday after it was changed to include middle-school students and to require parents to identify clubs they do not want their children to participate in rather than making them give written permission for each club their child could join.
Gay-rights advocates have said the legislation is intended to undermine gay-straight alliances clubs formed to encourage tolerance and provide a safe haven for gay students to discuss their problems.

… a bottle of soft drink contains up to 15 cubes of sugar
Abuja – Dr Adamu Onu, a family physician, Garki Hospital Abuja, said on Thursday that excessive consumption of soft drink predisposes one to stroke, irrespective of the sex.
Onu in Abuja said that any drink with "excessively high sugar content" would predispose anyone to stroke.
Soft drinks are carbonated drinks that are non-alcoholic, it could also be referred to as soda, soda pop, pop, or tonic.
He said that the body was not designed to take any drink with high sugar content, adding that the sugar in drinks were in pure form, which goes directly into the blood.
According to the physician, the sugar in food is in natural form and the body processes it.
"For the fact that sugar comes in pure form, it induces the body to produce insulin, hence increasing the burden on the pancreas."
He said that if there was too much sugar, it could cause beta cell stress as a result, one might not only have stroke but develop other kinds of conditions like diabetes after a period of time.
The New England Journal of Medicine, says beta cells have a dominant role in the regulation of normal carbohydrate metabolism, they serve as depots of insulin reserve.
"Most of our soft drinks are high in sugar, for instance a bottle of soft drink contains up to 15 cubes of sugar," he added.
According to him, there is always a higher incidence of stroke as people get older, hence the effect of soft drinks is not age related.
He, therefore,advised that one should cut down the intake of soft drink, and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
NAN also reports that most nutritionists advise that juices from natural fruits are the best. (NAN)

How powerful is the NRA politically?
So powerful that the latest campaign finance legislation seeking to change the law after Citizens United just carved out a specific exception to the law to avoid NRA opposition.
That's right - with a Democratic majority House and Senate and a former Joyce Foundation board member as President, they gave the NRA a pass on campaign finance reform to avoid that fight with the NRA.
Of course, the NRAs real power comes from its members; but this is a good example of how the day-in, day-out work of those members over the past 10 years has changed politics.

Greatest rookie season of all-time belongs to …
Published: April 26th, 2010 | Tags: Dick Lane, Eric Dickerson, Gale Sayers, John Elway, Los Angeles Rams
These Top 10 lists can sometimes make you cringe. They sometimes are more notable for who is not listed than who is listed. But give credit to the Total Access crew here — they nailed it on this one.
Total Access counted down the Top 10 rookie seasons of all-time and they came to the only conclusion possible — Eric Dickerson of your Los Angeles Rams in 1983 (the second overall selection that year).
With all due respect to Gale Sayers (22 total touchdowns is a sick record) and Dick "Night Train" Lane, Dickerson's rookie season was absolutely magical. The Rams needed Dickerson, coming off a post-strike 2-7 campaign. The carpetbagging Raiders came to town and were on the verge of winning a Super Bowl. Dickerson gave Rams fans hope. Too bad he didn't give the Rams a quarterback.
Dickerson set a rookie record with 1,808 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns. Just amazing. Dickerson would set the single-season rushing record the following season. Anaheim Stadium was the place to be from 1982 through 1986 with the Angels and Rams both competing for titles — but coming up just short. One team because of Gene Mauch, the other because of a lack of a quarterback. (Funny, if the Colts had taken Dickerson with the first overall selection in 1983, the Rams could have ended up with their pick — John Elway.)
Of course, this story does not have a happy ending. Dickerson was traded to the Colts on Halloween in 1987 and for that reason, I will never let my kids (if I have any) trick-or-treat. And yeah, you get what happened later.
Nevertheless, great job by the Network on this one.

What to Do With Liquid Natural Gas
The story of natural gas in the U.S. has a few twists and turns. Just a few years ago, there was serious concern about chronic shortages. Then shale gas flooded North America with more gas than most experts thought was possible. Now U.S. companies are looking to export surplus gas to faraway nations. But those companies may be in for a big surprise.
When pipelines are not practical, the most economic means to transport natural gas long distances is to convert it to liquefied natural gas (LNG) transport it via ships, unload, re-gasify and ship via local pipelines. Each step is costly, making LNG the least-preferred method of transport. Only countries with inadequate international pipelines will use LNG to export or import natural gas....666 more words left in this article.

Hello World!
Sorry for the long silence. I had meant to write something about what Star Trek has meant to me for the 8th, in celebration of the series' premiere date, but that night I was at synagogue for the service before my son's Bar Mitzvah and it just didn't get posted. Since I'm a bit past the fact, and because the reason for it was a Jewish life cycle event, I am going to repost some of what I said on the tenth anniversary of Gene Roddenberry's death in 2001.
In my childhood, Star Trek had as much influence on my values and philosophy as my religious upbringing. Though I was born midway through the original series' first season, I'm really a second-generation Trekker - I watched nightly reruns with my father over the course of several years and discovered organized fandom through the books of those who helped shape it. The Great Bird of the Galaxy was already a being of mythic proportions by the time I learned anything about the life and career of Gene Roddenberry. To me he was the man who put a woman on the bridge of the Enterprise, who insisted that beings from radically different backgrounds could live and work together, who never stopped believing that human beings would reach the stars - if not during his lifetime, then during mine.
I remember crying the first time I saw 'City on the Edge of Forever' in elementary school, being upset about the choice Captain Kirk had been forced to make between the needs of the many and the needs of the one - though Spock hadn't yet articulated that Vulcan phrase about the former outweighing the latter. That episode kept me thinking for weeks about social obligations and personal honor; only much later did I consider the fantastic elements, the hazards of time travel and the conundrums of history. I didn't think of myself as a science fiction fan in those days. Star Trek was not about the special effects, the explosions and makeup. It was about people and ideas, a belief in our ability to evolve past current prejudices, a positive vision of the future.

What would be your top 5 gun brands/ companies?
Id like to hear what you guys like :) it can be a pistol company too my top 5 would be 1.ruger 2.smith& wesson 3.sig sauer 4.glock 5. Colt :) whats yours? :)
let's see.
1. anything quality made.
2. anything with inherent accuracy.
3. anything with lots of aftermaket support in parts and accessories.
4. anything priced at what it's worth to me.
5. anything that captures my attention.
5. Ruger 4. Beretta 3. Glock 2. Sig 1. HK
Hard choices... ;-(
1. Smith and Wesson
3. Ruger
4. Mossberg
5. Springfield Armory
I'm disappointed with many manufacturers today, but my list would probably change a bit using that criteria. In choosing my all time favorite companies I'd have to pick these, which doesn't include long guns:
Damn it, I just can't leave off Winchester and Marlin.
1) S&W - love the M&P line and their wheel guns, and 1911s
2) Ruger - plan on owning some of their wheel guns someday
3) Colt - again, their wheel guns. And 1911s
4) Springfield - 1911s and the XD line is pretty nice
5) Mossberg - huge fan of their shotguns even though I don't own any yet
1.) Izhevsk- Made Mosins and AK's among other good russian guns.
2.) Taurus- Makes a pretty good revolver and there 1911's aren't bad at all
3.) Remington- Model 700 and the 870 are my personal favorite guns
4.) Springfield- No explanation needed
5.) Kel-Tec- I've shot a few of the guns and love them, they just come out with some very interesting weapons
OK I'll give it a whirl
Remington - I have 700, new model 783 and 870 in 12 gaguge
Ruger - like them more for their handguns than their rifles. Exception - 10/22!
Smith and Wesson - just bought MP15, I am infatuated so they made the list (for today anyway)
Browning (don't own one BUT that name belongs on the list for it's namesake, John Browning)
Savage (don't own one but they make rifles everyone can afford and good quality)
In order? Can't. I have tons of positive customer service experience with Remington, Ruger not quite as good and have not tried the other 3.
I'm with Axxe though, to heck with brand names, give me quality and support and I'll like your rifle just fine
Seeing as I haven't had the chance to shoot most of these this is more of a theoretical list.
1. Remington - probably the go to brand for modding and the average shooter.
2. Beretta - to include tikka and sako
3. Accuracy international - other then the blocky stocks they seem nice.
4. Savage - low cost quality
5. Hk - just well made weapons
So many more could be put on this list it's hard to limit it lol
Lets see
2. Ruger
3. Izhmash now kalashnikov
4. Mossberg
5. Winchester

Denver Police Officer Dies After Shooting At City Park
Rollin Oliver
A witness says the man accused of killing a Denver police officer was looking back and firing a handgun as he ran from a fight at a crowded jazz concert in City Park, according to newly released records.
A judge on Thursday ordered Rollin Oliver, 21, to stand trial on a charge of first-degree murder with extreme indifference in the June 24 slaying of Officer Celena Hollis.
The shooting happened on a Sunday night in front of hundreds of people who had been attending "Jazz in the Park."
Police said Officer Hollis was moving to break up a fight when she was shot in the head.
In a sworn statement supporting Oliver's arrest, homicide Detective Jaime Castro said that just after 8 p.m. an officer at the concert saw a disturbance and heard several gunshots.
Then the officer saw Hollis fall to the ground with a head wound. He radioed for an ambulance, saying an officer was down.
Hollis was transported to Denver Health Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 8:35 p.m.
A witness told police the gunman was a black man, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and heavy set. He was wearing a dark gray T-shirt and khaki shorts. A sergeant radioed the description to responding officers.
An officer searching the park soon found Oliver, clad in a gray T-shirt and khaki shorts. Police found a loaded handgun tucked in Oliver's waistband and arrest him, the affidavit said.
Investigators interviewed more than 30 witnesses, several of whom said they saw the shooting.
One man told investigators he heard someone say, "He has a gun."
The witness said he saw a black man running away, "looking back and firing a small handgun," the affidavit said.
The witness said the gunman's hair was in cornrows and he was wearing a black T-shirt with light or possibly khaki shorts.
During an interview at police headquarters, Castro said Oliver told him he attended the jazz festival with his friend, Chuck Elwood.
After the concert ended, Oliver said he and Elwood were walking back to their car when they were surrounded by several men, the affidavit said.
One of the men punched Elwood, knocking him down, Oliver told the detective.
Oliver said he feared he was going to be punched, so he pulled out his gun and fired twice at two men, who then stopped coming at him, the affidavit said.
Hollis was standing about 50 yards from the gunman when the bullet struck her, the affidavit said.
Oliver told Castro he ran to the north side of the park, where he was arrested.
During Thursday's preliminary hearing, defense attorneys said Oliver had brought a handgun to the park for self protection. They said Oliver had been shot before and had to undergo several surgeries and learn how to walk again.
Defense attorneys argued Oliver fired the gun in self-defense as he tried to flee gang members who were beating up his friend.
Prosecutors, however, said Oliver was holding the gun with both hands as he fired indiscriminately into the crowd.
Castro testified during the hearing that Oliver admitted under questioning that he knew he could hit someone by firing into the crowded park.
The detective also testified that four bullet casings recovered at the scene matched the gun found in Oliver's waistband when he was arrested.
A bullet fragment recovered at the scene contained some of the slain officer's DNA and also matched the other bullets fired from Oliver's gun, Castro said. Another bullet was found buried in the ground.
Defense attorneys argued that Oliver should face trial on lesser charges, saying there was no premeditation and he didn't intend to kill anyone.
But the judge said the trajectory of the bullets, one hitting the ground and another hitting high on the wall of the park pavilion building, indicated that Oliver was indiscriminately shooting into a crowd and this warranted a trial on first-degree murder.

Fox - Armamesh Wide 22mm
Don't be fooled by first impressions, as this IS NOT PVA! It's a new baiting system that utilises a mesh that doesn't breakdown in water.
It was originally developed to prevent crayfish or other small 'nuisance' fish attacking your hookbait, but in fact offers a huge list of additional benefits that will appeal to all types of anglers: carp, match, predator and even sea anglers!
The mesh creates an almost invisible cage around your bait which stops small fish eating it, while still allowing the flavours to leak out into the water. It also means you can use baits on the hook that have previously been impossible including:
* Spod mix
* Mashed meat
* Pellet ball
* Paste
* Liquidised bread
* Sweetcorn ball
* Chopped worms/maggots
* Mashed fish for predators/sea species
It also allows you to fish pellets for long periods, without risk of breakdown, and it's very effective when used with corn in the mesh and a piece of plastic corn as a hair-stop. We've even had our consultants use a mesh bag of hemp fished over hemp loosefeed with devastating results! You load the Arma Mesh exactly as you would load PVA, using the loading funnel supplied. It comes in narrow (14mm) and wide (22mm) sizes, and refill spools are available. To use the Mesh we recommend you use a traditional hair rig approach. You can pass a baiting needle through the sack of bait and then slide it up a hair, securing it with a hair stop.

My partner signed us up for this trip. I did not want to do this. I was completely wrong. I thought I would "endure" the week, but I quickly found myself relaxed, exhilarated and transformed by the experience. I was the perfect vacation because I felt productive, but couldn't engage in my work at home. No checking e-mails on a bike! It was a remarkable way to rest, recharge and renew. I will definitely take another Backroads trip.-Richmond, Surrey, England
The trips are so much greater than the sum of the individual parts. The guides are awesome and care so much about making your experience unforgettable. Great destinations and hotels and food and perfect execution. I have met many people on these trips that also add an unimaginable other aspect. Backroads attracts many extraordinary people... Backroads rocks!- Dallas, TX
The guides did a fantastic job with logistics and making us comfortable biking in a new area. The guides were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, patient and cheerful. They made the trip wonderful!- West Hartford, CT
We enjoyed our trip tremendously! The countryside and the sites of Mallorca were rivaled only by our extraordinary trip leaders. All the leaders were vital in making this vacation the best my husband and I have taken.- Harrisburg, PA

A POLICE swoop has led to a number of arrests in connection with a string of burglaries in and around Chester.
Officers believe the same gang could be responsible for 100 burglaries across Cheshire in the last three months, just under a quarter of which were carried out in Chester and surrounding areas between October and December.
Following a spike in burglaries across the Cheshire area including in Tarvin, Guilden Sutton, Mickle Trafford, Kelsall, Cuddington, Winsford, Northwich, Wilmslow and Lymm, detectives linked the crimes and launched Operation Edendale which has led to four arrests.
In the majority of the burglaries, thieves made off with jewellery and cash, say police.
A 57-year-old woman was arrested at an address in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, a 31-year-old man was arrested at an address in Salford and a 56-year-old man from Failsworth was arrested in Manchester city centre.
A 50-year-old man was also being questioned.
All four were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary and were taken into custody suites in Cheshire in relation to the burglaries between October and December, although detectives say there could be more.
Det Chief Insp Paul Williams, who led the undercover investigation, hopes the zero tolerance approach to such crimes will assure members of the public that officers are doing all they can to stamp out the crimes and catch culprits who have spread "misery" across Cheshire.
"The public should feel reassured by these arrests today and I hope it reinforces to them the work we have been doing to catch the people responsible for spreading such misery across Cheshire," he said. "For such a high number of burglaries to happen in such a short space of time is very unusual and to me shows the arrogance of the criminals responsible, thinking that they would not be caught.
"Detectives across the constabulary have been working tirelessly over the last few months to gather the intelligence and evidence we needed to strike today.
"It was without doubt a number one priority for the constabulary to stop these burglaries and we used a number of tactics and resources as part of our investigation.
"Burglary has such a devastating impact on people's lives and I hope these arrests send out a strong message that Cheshire Police takes crimes such as this very seriously. We will put all our resources into catching the people responsible.
"Cheshire Police is urging the general public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
"This particular spate of burglaries appears to have ended on New Year's Eve.
However, there will always be opportunistic thieves who will take a chance if they see an open window or door."

Durban - Registration of Africa's people would promote the movement of people between countries, newly-elected AU Commission chair Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said on Wednesday.
It would also help the continent plan its development, she said on the eve of the Ministerial Conference on Civil Registration and Vital Statistics, which begins in Durban on Thursday.
"Up to now there has not been a uniform civic registration across the continent. You can't plan for development if you don't register births and marriages and all the important dates (in people's lives).
"Civic registration and vital statistics will aid integration and assist in the free movement of people between countries."
She said the conference would assess progress made with civic registration since the last one, held in Ethiopia two years ago.
Some 42 ministers from African countries were expected to be in attendance, along with high-ranking authorities from countries not represented by ministers.
President Jacob Zuma was scheduled to officially open the conference on Thursday. At present, 90 percent of births in South Africa were registered with authorities. In other African countries the figure was as low as 10 percent, according to Dimitri Sanga, the director of African Statistics at the UN's Economic Commission on Africa (Uneca).
Uneca had been involved in assessing the state of civic registrations across the continent for the past two years, and was co-hosting the conference.
Sanga said some African countries still used registration methods laid down by colonial authorities more than 50 years ago. - Sapa

A year after lawsuit, Johnston schools OK facial piercings
Posted September 13, 2011
Smithfield, N.C. — The Johnston County school board updated the student dress code Tuesday to allow students to wear studs and rings in their noses, lips and eyebrows.
The move comes a year after Ariana Iacono was suspended from Clayton High School for violating the dress code because she insisted on keeping a stud in her nose while at school. Iacono said the stud was an essential part of her faith in the Church of Body Modification.
The American Civil Liberties Union sued the school district on Iacono's behalf, and a federal judge ordered that she be allowed to attend school wearing her nose stud. The district settled the lawsuit in June, allowing Iacono to keep her stud and implementing accommodations for students with similar religious beliefs.
Superintendent Ed Croom said the dress code changes weren't related to the lawsuit.
Other changes to the dress code – the first in eight years – allow colorfully dyed hair, prohibit tank tops and shirts and blouses that are strapless or have spaghetti straps and clarify that shorts and skirts must be no more than 4 inches above the knee.
"My message to (students) is come to school to learn," Croom said.
Dress code changes to bring dyed hair, pierced lips to Johnston schools
Students said they like the changes.
"Who thinks you're really going to be looking at someone's lip ring when you're doing math?" said Joy Guha, a junior at Clayton High.
Croom said a principal can still ask a student to remove any piercing found to be distracting or dangerous.
"We see this as a broader attempt for principals to be able to regulate things that may be hanging from an ear or around the neck," Croom said. "You may walk in and have a piece of facial jewelry that's in your nose or in your eye, and in that situation, the principal may feel that's unsafe."
The policy change has already garnered international praise. Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, called the nose-piercing ban "unfair to female to students of Indian descent" who often express their religious or cultural identity by wearing nose rings.
District officials also will go much easier on dress code violators. Instead of a 10-day suspension for a first offense, students will now have a chance to change clothes.

Baku, Azerbaijan, 2016/05/10 - Alstom will present its Citadis tramway which offers new performance and comfort level, including spacious design with double doors, new ergonomic seat design options, real-time information on-board, direct & indirect lighting based on LED technology. FR0010220475; ALO
Alstom will be present at TransCaspian exhibition on 11-13 May 2016 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Meet Alstom team at booth 1216 in the exhibition.
During the exhibition, Alstom will present its Citadis tramway which offers new performance and comfort level, including spacious design with double doors, new ergonomic seat design options, real-time information on-board, direct & indirect lighting based on LED technology. Citadis is built on a platform of thoroughly proven standardised components, delivering record availability while facilitating maintenance operations (up to 11% cost reduction). Citadis is a low-floor tramway, i.e. easily accessible for all passengers and wheel chairs. A modern tramway adds a new dimension to the public transport of a city with regards to efficiency, capacity, speed and safety. The tramway produces less CO2 emissions than other transport systems.
Alstom will also introduce Attractis, an integrated tramway system for growing cities. The solution responds to the increasing demand for integrated tramway systems by providing a fully integrated system in a record time of 30 months and with a single contract to manage the project. Designed to optimise acquisition costs and total cost of ownership, it offers up to 20% savings in investment compared to traditional tramway systems.
Alstom (alstom.com) will finally present Metropolis, a full range of highly reliable metro trains with a broad range of configuration possibilities such as length, width, shape, seating arrangement, passenger information and security equipment. In 2015, Alstom already delivered three new metro trainsets of 5 cars each to Baku Metro. Those metro trainsets were the first ones with inter-car walkways which optimise passenger traffic flow and vertical handrails near the doors to enhance passenger safety when the train is in motion.
Azerbaijan is developing its potential as an important link between the Caspian and Black Seas and between Russia and Iran. Alstom is ready to seize any opportunity to make Azerbaijanis travels smoother and safer. Alstom has a successful experience in turnkey projects implementation worldwide and is eager to introduce its modern technologies to the local market, says Elshan Zeynalov, Managing Director Alstom Azerbaijan.
In 2014, Alstom has been awarded a contract to supply 50 electric locomotives to Azerbaijan Railways (ADDY) which will be assembled in Alstoms JV EKZ in Kazakhstan. The first electric locomotive is to be delivered in the beginning of 2017.

NBA RUMORS: Kurt Rambis
Byron Scott is getting a second interview with the Los Angeles Lakers, but that doesn't mean the job is locked in. Kurt Rambis, who has a fallback option as an assistant under Derek Fisher, is still in the conversation.
Howard Beck of Bleacher Report explains:
Rambis also remains a favorite for the Lakers' head-coaching position, according to league sources. The Lakers have interviewed at least a half-dozen coaches, but sources say they are focused on three primary candidates: Rambis, Alvin Gentry and Byron Scott.
One might wonder if this cancels out the LeBron James report.

Sure, the Nike Air Force 1 Low has done well with a variety of prints and materials over the years, but there's still nothing like the traditional white on white variety that returns every Summer. Add in a just a hint of color, and the pair takes on new life like this white and red pair sporting a premium all leather construction. Planned for a release sometime early this Fall, the pair gets hit with a vibrant varsity red on the heel and tongue tag while faint accents outline the Swoosh and 'Air' branding ont he midsole. What do you think? Stick around after the click for more images of this Fall 2014 release and let us know if you're feeling this premium leather iteration of the Nike Air Force 1 in the comments section.

Here is a neat and easy setting change that gives your regular picture frame slideshow a bit of a makeover.
Select Settings, Picture Frame, and then Transition.
It's most likely set at "Dissolve." Change that to "Origami."
The next time you select the picture frame slideshow from the lock screen, you will instantly see the Origami effect, which looks pretty neat.

FILM legend Michael Winslow - most famous for playing Sgt 'Motor Mouth' Jones in the Police Academy movies of the 1980s - went down a storm when he stopped off in the Black Country as part of his first-ever UK tour.
Following his critically-acclaimed 2011 month-long Edinburgh Fringe show The Man of 10,000 Voices, the American star absolutely wowed Wolverhampton's Wulfrun Hall on Sunday (May 27) with his unique talent for mimicking the seemingly impossible with just his vocal cords.
The 53-year-old charismatic comedian, who was born in Washington, had the crowd enthralled from start to finish with his entertaining one-man show which is touring towns and cities across the UK.
He totally rocked the venue with almost unbelievable impersonations of Jimmy Hendrix's frenzied guitar playing and the distinctive vocals of rock star Robert Plant and jazz legend Louis Armstrong, plus a full-blown re-enactment of a scene from Star Wars complete with spookily accurate sound effects from every character and explosion as the sci-fi classic played out silently on a screen behind.
Winslow, who looks set to reprise his famous Police Academy role in a forthcoming planned sequel, also impressed Black Country fans with his references to Led Zeppelin, British TV shows and cult movies during his cracking hour-long show.
Fans who missed it have another chance to catch the star - when he takes to the stage at Birmingham Town Hall on Wednesday June 6.

As long as it's out of my sight' Transgender in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwean society, like many parts of Africa, is not very welcoming to lesbians, gays, transgenders, bisexual and intersex people (LGBTIs). Few people have stronger testimony of this than Ricky Nathanson, a transgender woman living in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, who has been prosecuted for using a ladies toilet while being legally considered a man. Many Zimbabweans strongly feel that being anything but heterosexual is unnatural and should not be tolerated, while others feel that one's sexual orientation should not bother the next person.
In this weeks edition of Speak Up, three young people listen to an intense personal interview with Ricky, and they give their own thoughts about LGBTI issues in their society.
Speak UP! is an audio show in which young Africans discuss thorny social issues without pulling any punches. It is created by a selection of young hosts and producers in Zimbabwe, South Sudan, Rwanda, Nigeria and Kenya, working in partnership with local media organizations and RNW. Each edition of Speak UP! provides YOU with a chance to express yourself – because everybody wants to be heard.

TAMPA — In 2007, Wharton High School basketball coach Jaymee Wallace was sentenced to three years in prison for having sex with one of her 15-year-old students.
Now her victim is suing the Hillsborough County School District, claiming it "should have known that Jaymee Wallace was dangerous and liable to do harm to the students." The suit, filed Monday in the Hillsborough Circuit Court, seeks unspecified damages.
It alleges that the district failed to conduct a sufficient investigation before hiring the coach, and did not immediately inform the child's parents when it learned of the crime.
Spokeswoman Linda Cobbe said the district doesn't comment on pending litigation.
The victim, whom the St. Petersburg Times is not naming, is currently serving in the Army. Her attorneys could not be reached for comment on the suit.
Two years ago, prosecutors laid the blame squarely upon Wallace, saying she initiated a romantic relationship after the victim, then 14, voiced confusion about her sexuality.
"I think you're attractive," she wrote in a note to the girl, whom she was coaching and teaching math. "Do you feel the same?"
Their sexual relationship lasted two years. Wallace was arrested in October 2005, after the girl told her mother about the affair.
At trial, the victim asked the court not send her former coach to jail, but her parents insisted on prison time. Wallace pleaded guilty to lewd and lascivious battery and unlawful sexual activity with a minor, which could have brought up to 30 years in prison.
In her lawsuit, the victim says the school district caused her "embarrassment, mental anguish and physical illness" through its failure to adequately investigate Wallace before hiring her.
Tom Marshall can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or (813) 226-3400.

State revenue forecast improves
DENVER — Despite a rise in the state's unemployment rate, Colorado's economy is going gangbusters, state economists said Monday.
As a result, the Colorado Legislature will see a $600 million rise in state revenue for next year's budget, a huge increase considering the billion-dollar deficits the state has seen since the recession began, economists told lawmakers.
"The U.S. and Colorado economies are gaining strength," said Natalie Mullis, chief economist for the Colorado Legislative Council. "They've stabilized in the second half of 2011, and gained momentum in the first part of 2012. The business climate continued to improve."
Mullis said in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, revenue is projected to be $256 million higher than was budgeted.
Mullis and Henry Sobanet, director of the Office of State Planning and Budgeting, said nearly every sector of the economy is showing clear signs that the worst is over, including a stabilizing credit market and improving construction industry.
Mullis said more than 70 percent of small businesses are now able to get adequate loans compared with a recession low of 59 percent. At the same time, permits for multi-family construction projects doubled last year.
"The solvency of the banking system has improved significantly since the financial crisis ... and we've seen some loosening in credit conditions in consumer credit cards, auto loans and for business loans," she said. "The construction industry continues to operate at very low levels historically, however, there have been large increases in activity both in the nation and Colorado for multi-family construction, which is starting to drive job growth in that sector."
In their individual forecasts, both Mullis and Sobanet increased their tax revenue projections to the state by $108 million to $164 million, respectively, since their last revenue projections in December.
They said those increases came despite a drop in the price of natural gas, which forecasters said fell even lower than last year's historic lows of about $4.50 per thousand cubic feet to less than $2.30 this month.
As a result, the Western Slope continues to struggle with its recovery, Mullis said.
She said the state and region's unemployment figures rose slightly last week because those out-of-work Coloradans who quit trying to get a job are now back in the mix, adding that it may be another year or two before the state sees employment return to pre-recession levels.
While the economists gave little bad news in the state's economic condition, they did say some risky signs persist, including uncertainty with the European debt, rising fuel prices and foreclosures that continue to impact housing prices.
"I don't see any signs of slowing in the near term ... but there are still higher-than-normal headwinds and down drifts in the economy," said Jason Schrock, Sobanet's chief economist. "Our economy is bolstered by very, very low interest rates. There's a risk that interest rates could rise, and that could have disruptions to the economy."
Lawmakers and Gov. John Hickenlooper all said they were pleased with the encouraging forecast, but warned that it doesn't mean four years of budget cuts can be restored overnight.
The forecasts clear the way for the legislative Joint Budget Committee to finalize next year's spending plan, and fights over what budget cuts should be restored first are expected to dominate much of their discussions over the next few weeks.
That battle is expected to center on the homestead property tax exemption for seniors, which Republicans want to restore at a cost of about $100 million.
Hickenlooper, however, said that's just not possible, not if the state also wants to restore deep cuts in education and return grant money to local governments taken from severance taxes and federal mineral lease payments.
