CNHI News Service
— The National Football League has proven it is good at blocking and tackling. Once again it shows that it's not bad when it comes to blackmail, either.
That's been clear in recent days with news that three of this weekend's playoff games may not be televised in their local markets if all the tickets aren't sold. Hence, fans in Green Bay, Indianapolis and Cincinnati must pay up or miss out.
It's the ultimate threat – and punishment – for fans who support their teams throughout the season then get gouged when games mean the most and rewards are the highest.
Never mind that the majority of tickets have been sold, and the mammoth stadiums will be near capacity. The NFL's local TV blackout rule is about the game's image and the opportunity to wiggle every dollar from a fan's wallet.
In Green Bay and Cincinnati, the teams should offer ticket buyers perks to attend this weekend's games. At Lambeau Field, the temperature is expected to hover around zero for Sunday afternoon's game between the Packers and the San Francisco 49ers.
Though it will be warmer in Cincinnati on Sunday, Paul Brown Stadium, which sits along the chilly Ohio River, is still expected to get the coldest temperatures of the year and perhaps a snowstorm.
Granted, playing conditions inside Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday will be balmy by comparison.
But finding entertainment dollars in the family budget only days after another expensive Christmas and a night out on New Year's Eve might test the skills of an accountant anywhere.
There's nothing new about the NFL's annual guilt trip. It's just another league tradition.
The blackout rule was instituted in 1973 and has become the bane of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who has called the practice archaic and poor policy. That's especially true, he says, in markets where teams have used public financing to build stadiums.
"I think that's outrageous," McCain said during a Senate hearing last spring. "Now, if that stadium is not taxpayer financed, then that owner can do anything they want to. But if the taxpayers paid for them, by God, I think taxpayers ought to be able to see the game whether they sell out the stadium or not."
McCain's bid to end blackouts in places with publicly funded stadiums hasn't gotten far in the legislative maze, but how many bills have on Capitol Hill?
What's significant is that the rule is getting prominent scrutiny.
Even last month, the Federal Communications Commission proposed doing away with blackouts in all pro sports.
"There is evidence that after nearly 40 years, the Sports Blackout Rule has outlived its relevance and utility," said FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn in a statement.
What's amusing in this replay of the blackout scenario is how the NFL caters to large corporate interests, then puts the pressure on blue collar fans to save the day.
This week the Colts were frantically trying to sell a remaining 4,500 tickets for Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, with prices starting at $56. The Bengals listed about 8,000 tickets for sale earlier in the week, with face values of about $100 apiece, for the matchup with the San Diego Chargers.
The situation was about the same in Green Bay, where the Packers had yet to sell 7,500 tickets, with prices for most of those falling between $100 and $125.
Given the weather expected across the Midwest, it's not surprising that some fans prefer to stay home. In fact, it's the quality of today's high-definition televisions that leads some fans to argue that the best seats for the games are in their living rooms.
Nevertheless, the idea of the NFL not televising a game in a local market is unconscionable. It hasn't happened since 2002 and would be a black eye for a league so eager to protect its reputation as America's favorite sport.

Switching energy use with each changing season can be confusing.
Besides autumn, spring is the only season where people can switch back and forth between turning on the heat and opening their windows. Read on for some energy-saving, and money-saving, tips.
Adjust the thermostat
According to the Wakefield Municipal Gas and Light Department in Massachusetts, you should adjust and set your thermostat on the lowest temperature you're able to tolerate because doing so, will save you 3 percent on your heating bill for every degree your thermostat is lowered.
In addition, turn your water heater down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit once springtime hits.
Close your windows during the day and open them up at night, which sounds backward, since many people wake up, see a sunny day and open their window.
In actuality, people should be doing the opposite once it gets warm, says Wakefield Municipal, since sunlight during the day will obviously heat your home and make it too hot.
By keeping your windows closed during the day and then opening them up at night, you'll allow cool air to float in and make your house a little more comfortable. Then once you wake up in the morning, you should close your windows to keep the cool air inside.
Spring cleaning
Spring cleaning isn't just an overused term, there are actual energy-saving benefits to doing a thorough clean-up once April rolls around.
Wakefield reminds pet owners that pets tend to shed during the spring, so it's important to keep things like your refrigerator condenser coils clean and free of pet hair. This will allow your fridge to run much more efficiently.
Additionally, all ceiling and table fans should be checked and cleaned, so they remain dust-free for maximum efficiency. Once May and June arrive, it's best to change the direction of your ceiling fan so the air is being pulled upward.
Changing the direction of your fan, will allow better cooling and much better airflow, says the Massachusetts light and gas company.
Other energy-saving advice for the spring time includes not using lights and appliances that give off a lot of heat once the temperature rises -- like using the stovetop instead of the oven when it's warm outside and making sure you're using lighting that's better suited for spring and summer.
According to the site Energy.gov, only 10 percent to 15 percent of the electricity used in incandescent lights produces actual light, the other 85 percent to 90 percent give off heat. Using the wrong lighting and appliances during the warmer months will most likely make you want to run your air conditioner continually, which zaps tons of energy.
If possible, use hair dryers, curling irons and the dishwasher a bit less during the spring and summer seasons, since these appliances produce a lot of heat. In addition, turn off your computer when you're not using it, as this too will unnecessarily heat your home and force you to crank up the A.C.
Air leaks
When it comes to air leakage in your home, spring is an ideal time to recheck those common areas that let coolness out.
According to the company Green Home Gnome, walls, floors and ceilings account for 34 percent of air leakage, HVAC ducts account for 15 percent, fireplaces 14 percent and windows and doors 10 percent and 11 percent respectively.
Using less hot water during the warmer months is advised as well.
To do so, it is important to know that 37 percent of your yearly hot water usage comes from the shower, 26 percent from the washing machine, 14 percent from the dishwasher, followed by running a bath (12 percent) and using hot water in sinks (11 percent).
So by making just a few adjustments in your home, you'll not only be able to save money during the warmer seasons, you'll be making your house a lot more comfortable too.
By making some of these energy changes this year, you might be able to get a tax credit when filing next year, experts advise.

Manager Tony Pena was named an American League coach Wednesday by New York Yankees manager Joe Torre.
Also selected as a coach was Toronto Blue Jays manager Carlos Tosca, a former manager in the Royals' minor league system.
"It's nice. Any time you get chosen to go to the All-Star Game, it's an honor," Pena said.
"When Joe asked me about it, I told him it's an honor to participate. I did it as a player five times, and, as a manager, for somebody to pick me out is big for me."
Pena made the National League All-Star team as a Pittsburgh Pirates catcher in 1982-84, '85 and '86, and with the St. Louis Cardinals in '89.
What Royals players did Pena think might accompany him to Houston?
"I don't have any control over that," he said. "I'll leave it to them to pick the players. If they ask me, I'll give my input."
The Royals' top candidates are center fielder Carlos Beltran, currently seventh in the outfield voting, and first basemen-designated hitters Ken Harvey and Mike Sweeney. Harvey is among the AL leaders in hitting and Sweeney has been named to the last four All-Star Games.
Last season, Pena was voted AL Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, after leading the Royals to a turnaround season.
He is the ninth Royals manager to serve as an All-Star coach.
Dick Howser was a coach in 1982 and 1985 and was the AL manager in 1986 after the Royals won the World Series.
Others who were AL coaches: Bob Lemon, 1972; Jack McKeon, 1974; Whitey Herzog, 1978; Jim Frey, 1981; Hal McRae, 1992; Bob Boone, 1996, and Tony Muser, 2001.
Pena was moved by Torre's invitation.
"It touched me," Pena said. "I'm happy."

A pregnancy ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to see how a baby is developing in the womb. It is also used to check the female pelvic organs during pregnancy.
Pregnancy sonogram; Obstetric ultrasonography; Obstetric sonogram; Ultrasound - pregnancy
You will lie down for the procedure. The person performing the test places a clear, water-based gel on your belly and pelvis area and then moves a hand-held probe over the area. The gel helps the probe transmit sound waves. These waves bounce off the body structures, including the developing baby, to create a picture on the ultrasound machine.
In some cases, a pregnancy ultrasound may be done by placing the probe into the vagina. For information on this procedure, see transvaginal ultrasound
A full bladder is necessary to get a good picture. Therefore, you may be asked to drink 2 to 3 glasses of liquid an hour before the test. You should not urinate before the procedure.
There may be some discomfort from pressure on the full bladder. The conducting gel may feel slightly cold and wet. You will not feel the ultrasound waves.
Some doctors order an ultrasound when they think there may be a problem with the pregnancy or if there is a question about how far along the pregnancy is. Others advocate screening ultrasounds. You should consult your health care provider to determine the most appropriate scanning schedule for you.
A pregnancy ultrasound may be done in the first trimester to:
A pregnancy ultrasound may also be done in the second and third trimesters to:
Some centers are now performing a pregnancy ultrasound around 9 - 13 weeks of pregnancy to look for signs of Down syndrome or other developmental problems in the developing baby. This test is often combined with blood tests to improve the accuracy of results.
The total number of scans will depend on whether a previous scan or blood test has detected problems that require follow-up testing.
The developing baby, placenta, amniotic fluid, and surrounding structures are normal in appearance and appropriate for the gestational age.
Note: Normal results may vary slightly. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal ultrasound results may be due to some of the following conditions:
Current ultrasound techniques appear to be safe, and there is no documented risk to women or their developing babies. Ultrasound does not involve radiation, such as that used when taking an x-ray.

We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day. Meadows opened the season Thursday with good coverage and even some freshies for those choosing to recreate on the holiday. There were smiles a plenty and raves about the coverage, overall condition of the mountain and the new RFID gates.
An extraordinary effort to haul parking lot snow to the lifts allowed for the Thanksgiving day opening. The entire maze line at Mt. Hood Express and the other three lifts that opened were built up from the parking lot snow, thanks to a rented "Dump Cat". Thousands of cubic tons of snow was hauled over two days to enable the opening.
The Shipyard rail park also benefited from the dump cat's efforts, opening with no less than eight features and four separate lines for jibbin'.
Patrol and lift crews worked tirelessly through the day, and were able to open our 2nd high speed quad Shooting Star for some late afternoon fun.
Meadows is open for the season operating from 9 AM - 4 PM daily until night operations kick in (once we get some more snow).
Cheers to a great season!
Ready to come up Sunday! This is my three year old kid's second year and she cant wait! I mounted a red led bicycle light on the back of her helmet because of some close call with unexperienced adults on the bunny slope. Is it ok if I keep it on flashing mode while skiing? Im hoping it catches peoples eye so she can have some space but dont want to interfere with any markings ski patrol uses.Meadows: That's a great idea Steffan - in fact, some of the helmets we sell have the same feature. See you Sunday!
Looks like a lot of fun up at the mountain on opening day which I am sure took a lot of work by you folks. Is there any chance of getting Cascade open for Sunday or Monday?Meadows: Cascade is doubtful. We're working on Vista however - could be open Saturday if weather cooperates.
I'm going up the 30th will hood river be open?Meadows: It all depends on what additional snow fall we receive. Right now there isn't enough to operate Hood River Express. Thanks!
What are the prerequisites to starting Night ski at Meadows?Meadows: We would like additional snow to provide better coverage before operating at night. We'll continue to evaluate and snow farm, but another storm would certainly help get night operations going.
what is the minimal amount of snow you can have to stay open?Meadows: We've had some seasons where we scratched by with a 14 inch base with a very limited lift operation. Hopefully we won't have to test that this season! So everyone needs to keep doing Snow Dances!

Ervin Santana's no-hitter on Wednesday earned him American League Co-Player of the Week honors alongside Kansas City's Billy Butler for the period ending Sunday.
Santana tossed the ninth no-hitter in Angels history against the Cleveland Indians in a 3-1 victory. He threw 105 pitches and struck out a season-high 10 while walking one. It was the first no-hitter thrown at Progressive Field since its inception in 1994, and was just the fourth no-hitter since '69 (in the divisional era) that did not also produce a shutout.
Santana, 28, became the first Halos pitcher to toss a no-no since Mark Langston and Mike Witt combined to hold the Mariners hitless on April 11, 1990. No Angels pitcher had achieved the feat solo since Witt threw a perfect game against Texas on Sept. 30, 1984.
There have been three no-hitters this season. Minnesota's Francisco Liriano threw one on May 3 against the White Sox, while Detroit's Justin Verlander did it on May 7 vs. the Blue Jays.
Santana (6-8, 3.47 ERA) has never previously won a Player of the Week award.
Butler hit .406 with five homers to earn his third weekly award.

Alex Rodriguez, Jason Giambi and Derek Jeter will hit 5-6-7 for the AL squad, which was unveiled at a press conference in downtown Houston on Monday morning.
"I usually abuse my players, so I put them down below," Torre said. "It's not very scientific."
Leading off for the AL will be Seattle right fielder Ichiro Suzuki, who will play center field in Tuesday's Midsummer Classic.
"I was thinking of how we're going to start it," Torre said. "Ichiro was the only leadoff hitter that came to mind for me."
Batting second is Detroit catcher Ivan Rodriguez, who returns to the AL as a starter after spending the 2003 season leading the Florida Marlins to a World Series title. Rodriguez, who leads the AL with a .369 average, was an obvious choice for Torre toward the top of the lineup.
"Pudge has hit second before," the manager said. "And the fact that he's hitting .370 is tough to ignore."
Anaheim right fielder Vladimir Guerrero will bat third and Boston left fielder Manny Ramirez will hit cleanup, a lethal 3-4 combo that has combined for 48 home runs in the first half of the season.
A-Rod, who has hit third or fourth in every game for the Yankees this season, will bat fifth, followed by his teammates, Giambi and Jeter.
Giambi, who pulled himself out of Monday's Century 21 Home Run Derby as he continues to get his strength back from a battle with an intestinal parasite, will participate in Tuesday's game, having been voted by the fans to start at first base. Torre said that Giambi would likely play three innings.
"We've talked for a few days, and it's a lot of swings," Torre said of the derby. "With how far he's come back now, he's getting close to being good for us. I don't want to jeopardize that."
The Yankees' trio of A-Rod, Giambi and Jeter will hit fifth through seventh, while Alfonso Soriano, the second baseman traded from New York to Texas in the A-Rod trade, will hit eighth.
"Soriano is still younger than Jeter, so he'll hit below Jeter," Torre said.
Soriano was the leading vote-getter among all Major Leaguers in this year's fan voting.
Mark Mulder, the A's left-hander, will start the game for the AL, batting ninth. With NL rules taking effect at Minute Maid Park, Torre will be busy pinch-hitting and double-switching, getting as many of his 32 players into the game as possible.
The AL team features some banged-up players, including Giambi and Ramirez. Torre said that he would take any and all of that information into account when determining how many innings each player would play.
"I'm going to make sure with all of my players, whether it's a player or a pitcher, if there are any physical problems, we're not going to take a chance," Torre said. "The first obligation is to their teams, so you certainly don't want to jeopardize anybody's second half."

Post subject: file integrity
Hi Ben,
If you want to duplicate this problem using Brasero as mentioned in your post you need the real LXFDVD155 from the magazine, and a burned dvd from the 155.iso (from torrent). The filed integrity you mention looks exactly like the when I use a shortcut from the desktop, which happens after inserting the dvd, canceling the prompt which appears with an Autorun option, and then right-clicking the LXFDVD155 icon which shows on the desktop and picking Check disc.
Both have matching md5sums (md5sum /dev/dvd ---067c2fe8009ed614207096674ec9db07). If generating and iso from each dvd as nelz suggested (cp /dev/dvd fromdvd.iso from the burned dvd and cp /dev/dvd realdvd.iso from the real dvd) and comparing the size to the torrent 155.iso they all match in size --- 4379901952. If I run and md5sum against each of my 3 iso files ( 155.iso -- fromdvd.iso -- realdvd.iso) they are all the same --- -067c2fe8009ed614207096674ec9db07.
My question boils down to why does the real dvd pass the integrity check, but the burned dvd does not?
Thanks alot for your help, still having alot of fun!

Well, it's nothing do do with it being a hybrid ISO, I can see that now having tested it. Since the checksums from the pressed and burned DVDs (and the original ISO image) are the same, the DVD you have burned is identical to the pressed one. Therefore it should pass any valid integrity test.
It seems that Brassero is doing something odd. It may be trying to use an embedded checksum that some discs use, but the LXFDVD does not contain.

Thank You nelz, I couldn't clarify my problem without the input from you and the others. That is what I was trying to say but couldn't nail it.
I never got Brasero 3.0.0 to install in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but I booted from the LXFDVD155 in a connected usb dvd drive and thus was able to run the file integrity check on my burned dvd using Brasero 3.2 (I think). Failed again! There seems to be no checksum on the burned version according to Brasero --- maybe this can lead to a solution.
Now that you have identified the basis for my misery, maybe someone can shed light on the actual differences between a burned dvd and the "pressed one" and why the "checksum" is only visible to Brasero on the pressed dvd --- and now--- where is it located specificallyon the dvd, and how can I see it?

There isn't a checksum on the DVD. There is a program to embed an md5 checksum in an ISO image, I have used it in the past, but I didn't use it on recent LXFDVDs as I wasn't sure how nicely it would play with the hybrid ISO[1]. It is used by some distro discs, they usually offer to check disc integrity before installation.
However, if this is the cause, Brassero is wrong. If there is no implanted md5sum, it should state so rather that reporting a failed integrity check.
[1] The implantisomd5 man page only states that it
[code]embeds an MD5 checksum in an unused section of and ISO9660 (.iso) image[/quote]
isohybrid also uses a normally unused area, the first 512 bytes. If implantisomd5 uses this area, it would break both USB booting and checksum checking.

Hi Steve,
When you put in the DVD that came with the magazine and run a check, how long does it take? is it coming back almost straight away or does it take a few minutes?
It should take a little while to check a DVD against it's MD5 (as it will if you manually create an MD5 file in the way I mentioned in the previous post), and what I think is happenning is that the check is failing, but it's returning the wrong error code so the application thinks it's passed. If this happens, the check will return a result quickly (more-or-less straight away).
The error happens when the application checks the medium. The burned disk, on the other hand, gets passed this point (the application was designed to check burned disks) and fails the check at a later stage (when it looks for the MD5 file) which returns the correct error code, and so displays an error message.
I should point out that I'm not an expert on this application's code. However, the amount of time it's taking to check will tell you if it's actually doing an MD5 check or not. If it's taking a while to check the pressed DVD and returning a correct result, then ignore the above, the problem must be something else.

Hi Ben,
The Disc Checking utility does not seem to be using an md5 since the "Use an MD5 file to check the disc" option box is not checked (if used, you have to provide path to the file). To answer about the length of time the error message takes to appear:
burned dvd approx. 1 second to generate the failed message.
real dvd from magazine almost instantly passes.
Please note that the original error was:
"The file integrity check could not be performed. No checksum file could be found on the disc."
This is a tough one for me, I just can't get my head around it.
Having alot of fun still

That error message confirms what I said in my previous post. There is no checksum to check because none was added to the ISO. Ben's theory about why the pressed DVD passes sounds about right, it should take much longer than a second to check the disc properly.
Since Brassero is trying to use an implanted checksum that was never implanted, any results it gives are meaningless and can be ignored. If the torrent downloaded without complaint, the ISO image has already passed a checksum test.

Now we have a nice group fuck scene starring Riko Tachibana wearing transparent lingerie and dressed as a sexy maid. Just look at this babe being fucked, getting a nice cunt licking and tons of fingering and your cock will explode immediately. This loves to be fucked hard by two cocks at the same time and as a busty she loves to get her tits licked and squeezed. At the end she performs some exciting sperm eating before she gets the cum on face.

Fingers, toys and cock - that´s a perfect fucking combo everyone loves. The Japanese couple here knows that there´s no point in rushing and getting that pussy really well prepared is worth the time. Only when it´s really wet do they speed things up and a long and hard cock goes right inside, filling her up deep, no matter the position
Art class is getting that much harder for these female students when they lose control from looking at the nude male models. Suddenly, painting the picture isn´t nearly as important as tasting pre-cum dripping from their cock heads, as they wrap their lips around their dicks and suck on them, even teasing them with their sexy bodies too.
Japanese AV model is a busty teen who enjoys wild nurse cosplay! She enjoys a position 69 with her date and she sucks cock and she gets her pussy licked1 She enjoys dick riding when they are done with 69 and her guy gets to have his cock into her pussy doggy style for some deep penetration sex!
Pretty Japanese models are having a little fun after returning from a date. They are both in need of a hard cock and there is one guy with them. Two girls on one cock can be a hot time! They take off their sexy dresses and expose their big tits and hairy pussies for him to fondle and finger while they suck his cock and give him a handjob! They also get to ride his cock and finish up with each other!
Arousing Japanese AV Model flirts with a handsome guy in her office. She demonstrates her sexy lingerie and gorgeous tits and gets them squeezed and licked. Then she bends over exposing her bubble ass and gets fingered. Then the horny guy takes out his dick and makes hot titty fucking and drills her soaking pussy!
Lovely Japanese models are enjoying giving one horny guy the massage of a lifetime. He is unable to see them for an element of surprise as they are rubbing him and sitting on his naked body with their pantiless butts for close contact. He is enjoying all the close contact and the hot rear fucking he gets to give one of the hot girls while the other is still massaging him from behind.
Kinky Japanese milf in sexy kimono enjoys pleasing her guy in outdoor Asian porn scene that makes them to have intense pleasure while enjoying oral and deep pussy penetration sessions. Hottie will swallow the whole load. She enjoys the taste of hot cum in her throat!
If there is one busty hot milf that I had to fuck, it would definitely be this one called Sama as she has the sexiest face and hottest body that any man would wanna pound like crazy. Here this hottie is looking fucking sensational and she is in an extremely horny mood where you will see her sucking this guy´s dick like never seen before. You will also see her geting fucked in all sorts of positions after a hot double blowjob and then she gets cum in her mouth!
Here we have a very hot and experienced nice teen who is so fucking busty and that looks extremely cute with her glasses on. Here you will be seeing this really fucking fine looking babe in her school uniform really showing who is boss with some really hot ass licking action and that isn´t all as this hottie really is into cock sucking and you will see her giving head like there is no fucking tomorrow and totally digging it!
Cock begging teen in amazing pink lingerie and sexy pantyhose is involved to hardcore entertainment and makes very hot blowjob for her horny lover. Exposing her tight butt in pantyhose, she gets him hotter and he fingers her cunt to warm her up before drilling her wet vagina.

Simultaneous Installgate 07: 2K Ups BioShock Install Limit, Plans FOV Adjustment PatchWith a swathe of announcements sure to send shockwaves reverberating throughout the BioShock internet community, publisher 2K Games has replaced BioShock's initial limit of two simultaneous PC installations with what community manager Elizabeth Tobey calls a "5 by 5 plan."
Under the new terms, users will be able to install the game on up to five computers, with the ability to reinstall the game on each computer up to five times. 2K will release a "revoke app" that should address issues resulting from the original limitations.
In a stunning reversal, 2K also announced plans to release a patch allowing PC users to adjust the game's FOV despite claiming the existing widescreen implementation was by design, as documented in our coverage of Aspect Ratiogate 07. An Xbox 360 patch is under consideration as well.
Prior to today's announcement, resourceful gamer Racer_S took matters into his own hands, applying a digital brand of widescreen vigilante justice and creating an unofficial patch. Tobey tipped her hat to the fan's efforts.
Along with the patch and policy changes, 2K is strengthening its tech support team, and has posted a technical FAQ addressing numerous concerns regarding SecuROM DRM and other issues. The company pledged a more streamlined experience with 2K and SecuROM tech support.
Finally, 2K has fixed its momentarily inactive activation server, allowing those previously unable to finish their game installs to do so.
2K appears to be proactively plugging holes, but Shacknews remains vigilant as Bioshockgate 07 continues to unfold. Stay tuned.

Another article for consumptionConnecticut killings: it's the shooter, not the gunsHere is an edited version of my column from Monday's Irish Daily Mail:Last Friday 20-year old Adam Lanza murdered his mother then murdered 26 women and children at a school in Connecticut and then killed himself. The first question that ought to come to mind is: what sort of person does that? Was he insane, criminal, or morally void? What sort of person starts with the murder of his mother and then just doesnt stop killing?It cant simply be that Lanza had access to a gun so he used it. As of December 31st last year, the state of Connecticut had issued 165,000 permits for privately-held firearms. One of those holding a permit was Lanzas mother, Nancy. You can assume that tens of thousands of other Connecticut citizens who hold permits also have sons.So the next question has to be, why did this son amongst all those tens of thousands of sons take his mothers firearms illegally Connecticut has the fourth toughest gun control laws in the US, and any 20-year old is banned from buying or carrying pistols and turn into a mass murderer?News reports say he had a history of mental instability. At least one report mentioned mood altering drugs. That is likely. The presence of legal drugs, the kind prescribed by psychiatrists, in the blood of the killers has been a feature of mass murders in America.Both of the Columbine High School killers, Eric Harris (described as a classic psychopath) and Dylan Klebold, were on psychotropic drugs.So was 17-year old Jeff Weise, the 2005 Red Lake High School killer in Minnesota who killed nine people then committed suicide.So was 19-year old Robert Hawkins who murdered eight people then killed himself in Nebraska in 2007.And on the list goes. What drugs 20-year old Lanza might have used on top of any drugs prescribed by a psychiatrist is something we will only learn from a coroners report.Yet the answer to the question, What kind of person carries out such a crime as this? the answer may be as simple as: The kind of young man who would murder his mother would murder just about anyone, and in any quantity.Strange facts come to mind when one tries to figure out such a killer. In the biography of Hermann Goering, the Nazi war criminal recalled that his earliest memory was beating his mothers face with his fists. Hate your mother with enough violence, and maybe there may be no limit to the violence. I dont know.I do know this: there is a reason this one young man among the population of 3.6m in Connecticut turned into a killer. That reason cant be the existence of guns in his home, any more than the existence of drugs in his blood. Among 165,000 permits, there was one mass killer. The state is on the edge of New York, so you can bet there are plenty of drugs, too. Yet the other 164,999 permits to own a gun in Connecticut produced no mass killers.You would have to if you were rational be open to the argument that having access to a gun and killing people are not cause and effect.And you would be right, despite the emotional surge in Britain, Ireland and other countries that insists that the huge numbers of privately-held guns in American must lead to huge numbers of murders. They dont.Check, for example, the Guardian newspapers Datablog. Earlier this year it gathered statistics from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, and from the Small Arms Survey, an independent research project located at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.Here are the headline facts: The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world
but the US does not have the worst firearm murder rate that prize belongs to Honduras, El Salvador and Jamaica. In fact, the US is number 28, with a rate of 2.97 per 100,000 people. Puerto Rico tops the worlds table for firearms murders as a percentage of all homicides 94.8 percent. Its followed by Sierra Leone in Africa and Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean.More guns dont mean more crime. In fact, as the BBC reported from America at the weekend, Public support for stricter gun legislation has been on a downward trend in recent years, along with overall levels of violent crime.Yet during the same period, gun ownership has increased.According to the most recent complete figures in the Small Arms Survey, in 2007 American civilians held 270m firearms, a rate of 89 guns per 100 population. However, in a recent footnote the survey added that the ATF [US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] and other sources suggest that the total private ownership in the United States in 2010 was closer to 270m-314m firearms, for an average of 290m firearms or 96 per 100 residents that year.What the survey doesnt mention is one reason for the jump: the 2008 election of Barack Obama. Since his re-election this year, there has been another surge in gun sales. Yet violent crime has continued to fall. What is happening is that millions of Americans are afraid President Obama may have an opportunity in his second term to add leftwing justices to the US Supreme Court who would interfere with their Second Amendment rights. So they are stocking up. They intend to go on being able to defend themselves, their families, their property, and their liberty.For that has always been the foundation of the Americans determination to prevent the Federal government from taking away their Second Amendment right to bear arms. The amendment has always been misunderstood or wilfully misinterpreted abroad (though of course that is true of the entire US Constitution: so in passing I will say yet again that the US Constitution includes no right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, nor does it state that all men are created equal, nor does it say anything about government of the people, by the people for the people. But that is for another column.)The Second Amendment limits only the powers of the US Congress to interfere with the right to carry weapons. The sovereign states remain free to regulate the possession and carrying of weapons in accordance with their own constitutions. Any state in the union could, for example, legislate for gun control very like the gun control in Britain or Ireland. They just dont want to.Even so, the right to bear arms is not absolute. The federal courts have upheld federal laws that limit the sale, possession and transportation of certain kinds of weapons such as machine-guns and sawn-off shotguns.But it is the states which have the power to limit possession and carrying of firearms, and they do. As I said, Connecticut is rated fourth-toughest in gun control among the 50 states. The three tougher are California, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. The rankings come from a report by the Washington DC anti-gun Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Much less tough degrees of gun control exist in, for example, Vermont, South Dakota and Arizona.There are as many different regimes of gun control in America as there are states in America, and Americans intend to keep it that way for many reasons. Here is one. The amendment protects the rights of the states to maintain their own militia, or armed citizenry, independent of federal forces. This was established as a safeguard against oppression, either domestic or foreign.If you think this is a peculiar idea of Americans, look at the list of which other countries besides America have citizens who intend to remain armed. Number three on the global list of civilian gun ownership is Switzerland, a country with an historical understanding of the importance of an armed citizenry. The Swiss have 46 firearms per 100 of population. Yet there the rate of homicide by firearm per 100,000 of population is just 0.77 percent.Fourth on the list is Finland with 45 firearms per 100 population. The rate of homicide by firearm in Finland is 0.45 per 100,000 of population.Fifth on the list is Cyprus with 36 firearms per 100 of population. Homicide by firearm in Cyprus is 0.46 per 100,000 people. (For contrast, in Venezuela, the homicide by firearm rate is 39 per 100,000 population.)Number 13 in global terms of private gun ownership is Canada with 31 firearms per hundred people, then Austria, Iceland and Germany with 30 guns per hundred of population. These are all amongst the most safe and orderly countries on earth. The fact that that they also have high concentrations of privately-held guns may be connected.December 16, 2012
Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
Presenting facts isn't the problem. It's the false premises, politically driven presentation, and skewed cherry picking of sed facts that is the issue.
He's a Dembot.Then he's Completely Brain Washed. Which explains why he goes by the acronym CBW.
He's a Dembot.
Laughable that all of you are echoing the same right wing talking points on this issue, yet all of you claim to be "free thinkers" and are labeling me as brain washed. Typical right wing horse crap. "Either you think just like me, or you are incapable of thinking for yourself."Here's a question for you free thinkers, what does Honduras, El Salvador, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Sierra Leone, Saint Kitts, and Nevis have in common with the United States? If your answer is, "hardly anything", you would be correct. They have a lot in common with each other, though. High unemployment, underdeveloped economies, high poverty rates, insufficient legal infrustructures, unstable governments, etc. But not very much with the United States. So one would wonder, what could be learned by comparing the murder rate or rate of firearm violence between these countries and the US? Not a damn thing, is the correct answer.To that end, how similar is the US to Switzerland? Do they have a similar rate of gun ownership? Do they have similar gun laws? Do they have a similar demographic makeup? The answer to each of these questions is also, a resounding, "no". So one would wonder, what could be learned by comparing the murder rate or rate of firearm violence between these two countries? Not a damn thing, is again, the correct answer.But I'm sure you have no issue with these specious comparisons.Why would you? It gives you all the ammunition you need (no pun intended) to continue to decieve yourself into thinking you are in the right. Fortunately, you are also in the minority. The common theme of all of your arguments? "There is just no easy answer to why people shoot people so much in this country". "Because they have easy access to guns", just isn't an answer any of you are willing to see the resounding logic in. I suppose the angle is, if you make change seem too hard, then people will give up on change. It's not working.

New London – A juvenile was charged with two robberies at gunpoint in the city in the early morning on Saturday. Two adults were also charged in one of the robberies.
At 12:40 a.m., the juvenile followed a moped near Ashcraft Road in a vehicle with other people. The vehicle pulled over the two people on the moped and the juvenile stole the moped at gunpoint, police said.
The juvenile and two 18-year-olds, Hassan Foster-Carney of 320 Central Ave., Norwich, and Dwayne Miller of 26 Jefferson Ave., New London, stole another moped a few hours later in a Wendy's parking lot on Colman Street, police said.
All three were charged wither first-degree robbery and third-degree larceny. There were no injuries during the robberies.
The two adults are being held on $50,000 bonds and the juvenile was transferred to a juvenile detention facility in Hartford.

McCutchen tabbed NL Player of the Month
Pirates center fielder hit .370 with seven homers, 26 RBIs, four stolen bases
Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen's continued assault on opposing pitchers last month garnered the recently named All-Star his first career Budweiser Presents National League Player of the Month honor for June.
McCutchen hit .370 (40-for-108) with seven home runs, 26 RBIs and four stolen bases. The 40 hits were the most by any player in the NL, while his RBI total was second highest and the seven home runs were the third most. He also tallied 73 total bases, tied with Robinson Cano for the most in the Majors.
Not even facing a new batch of pitchers could slow down McCutchen, as he hit .368 (21-for-57) with four doubles, three homers and 12 RBIs in 15 games against the American League during Interleague Play for June 8-24.
Entering play Monday, McCutchen ranks first among all NL center fielders with his .346 batting average, 15 home runs and 51 RBIs.
McCutchen is the first Pirates player to win the monthly award since Jason Bay nabbed the honor in May 2006.

Now that we're on the back half of the 2013 fantasy football season, waiver wire adds become increasingly important. Getting the correct adds to fill your teams needs will be the difference between making a postseason run, remaining in front of the pack or sitting way back and ultimately failing to reach the playoffs. It's time to get momentum rolling and giving the following adds an opportunity will enhance your chance of making the postseason. After all, that's what the regular season is for, playing well enough to reach the second season to win it all. Chris Ogbonnaya: RB, Cleveland Browns The dual-threat talent of Chris Ogbonnaya has really helped Cleveland's offense find balance this season. Regardless of who's at quarterback, Ogbonnaya has done rather well since Trent Richardson was traded away. Totaling 53 yards in Week 3, Ogbonnaya hit 48 total yards and a score in Week 4′s win over Cincinnati. Then in Week 6 he accounted for 85 yards and another score. Expect Ogbonnaya to...

The invention of the Coolgardie Safe is credited to Arthur Patrick McCormick, a contractor in Coolgardie, and later the Mayor of Narrogin. Coolgardie is in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. Gold was first discovered there in 1892; the townsite became a municipality in 1894, and by 1898 its population of 15,000 made it the third largest town in Western Australia after Perth and Fremantle. In the last decade of the 19th century, Coolgardie was the capital of the West Australian goldfields. Being 180 kilometres from the nearest civilisation, food supplies were initially scarce and expensive. As fresh food was a valuable commodity there was incentive to preserve it, and keep it out of reach of scavengers such as birds, dingos, dogs, ants, and flies. It was in an effort to do this, in the extreme heat of the Australian interior, that McCormick came up with his design for the Coolgardie Safe.
McCormick noticed that a wet bag placed over a bottle cooled its contents. He further noted that if this bottle was placed in a breeze, the bag would dry out more quickly, but the bottle would get colder. What McCormick had discovered was the principle of evaporation: 'to change any liquid into a gaseous state requires energy. This energy is taken in the form of heat from its surroundings.' Employing this principle, McCormick made a box for his provisions which he covered with a wet hessian bag. He then placed a tray on top, into which he poured water twice daily. He hung strips of flannel from the tray so that water would drip down onto the hessian bag, keeping it damp. As the water evaporated, the heat dissipated, keeping the food stored inside cool and fresh.
The success of McCormick's invention would not have worked without a steady supply of water. Fresh water was scarce in the eastern goldfields at this time but the demand for water from a steadily growing population encouraged innovation. The solution was to condense salt water. Heating salt water in tanks produced steam that was condensed in tall cylinders, cooled and then collected in catchment trays. By 1898 there were six companies supplying condensed water to the goldfields, the largest company producing 100,000 gallons of water a day.

McCormick's safe was handmade using materials he had on hand. Many other prospectors in the Coolgardie region copied the design, and home made versions of the safe soon also spread to other parts of Australia.
In the early 20th century, Coolgardie Safes were also manufactured commercially. These safes incorporated shelving and a door, had metal or wooden frames and hessian bodies. The feet of the safe were usually placed in a tray of water to keep ants away.
The safe pictured from the Museum Victoria collection is an excellent example of a commercially produced Coolgardie Safe - The Trafalgar Cold Safe, manufactured in Adelaide, South Australia, by W.J. Rawlings c.1915.

Hi Michelle, records indicate that prospectors Arthur Bayley and William Ford were the first to find alluvial gold near the present site of Coolgardie. It was in September 1892. About a month later they found gold in a nearby quartz reef. Doing an internet search for Coolgardie gold discovery 1892' brings up a great deal of information. You may also find newspaper articles about the discovery by searching online newspapers at Trove.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Hi Be,
A quick search on the internet found the following;
The Zeer Pot from Africa, a simple, but effective evaporation cooler.
The 're-invention' of the Coolgardie Safe by a design student from England, for use in developing nations.
The Mitticool from India, a clay version of the Coolgardie Safe.
There are also other sites with instructions on how to build your own Coolgardie Safe. Hope this helps!

The lamp is great and good materials. The difficulty was that it didn't come with a bulb and I didn't read clearly enough to catch that. It is used as an accent lamp on a work desk and looks wonderful.

The lamp is very nice. It's not true stained glass but I knew that when I bought it. It is the perfect size for a small desk. I'm using it as a bedside lamp for a child's room . . . He loves it. I wish it was a tad bigger but worth keeping!

"It's depressing and demoralizing that you can't be out there. That's what you live for, to play in those situations. ... So all through the game, while you're working on your (injury), you just kind of visualize and create this moment in your mind. You say things to yourself like, 'When I walk out of the dugout, the fans are going to go nuts and then I won't hurt anymore.' And you visualize certain pitches that you're going to see. And you visualize yourself running around the bases, celebrating."
CHICAGO -- If you guessed that those comments were made by Mike Lowell, then you would be close. They were uttered 15 Octobers ago, when the Florida Marlins slugger was a high-school freshman in South Florida. It is exactly how Kirk Gibson described how he prepared for a postseason Game 1 to come off the bench from injury and hit a monumental home run that would last forever.
This was not quite the same miracle by any stretch of the imagination, and there was no fist-pumping from Lowell as he rounded the bases Tuesday night with the dramatic pinch-homer in the top of the 11th inning at Wrigley Field that beat the Chicago Cubs, 9-8.
It was more postseason theater at its finest, and what Lowell said after the game certainly made you think about what Gibson had said after he limped up to the plate and took Oakland's Dennis Eckersley deep in the 1988 World Series.
"I was just prepared to have the at-bat," Lowell said. "I'm not used to the pinch-hitting thing. My main focus was to stay loose. I was running up and down the stairs, and stretch and make some dry swings in the clubhouse to be loose, basically from the seventh inning on, because I didn't know. I can't say I knew it was going to be hit off (Mark) Guthrie. I was just ready for the at-bat."
Lowell was just waiting in the wings to make something special happen in this series. He was hit by a pitch on the hand at the end of August and missed the rest of the regular season with a fracture, and he proved so rusty during the National League Division Series against San Francisco that rookie Miguel Cabrera continued to start at third -- and will do so again in Game 2 of this series.
"Mike is a great guy," Marlins manager Jack McKeon said. "He's a real pro. But if he were manager, he wouldn't put himself in there either."
Guthrie relieved Joe Borowski to start the 11th, and Lowell took him to dead-center, over Kenny Lofton's head and just clearing the bricks. It was his second pinch-homer, and it was the seventh homer of the game from both teams to set an LCS record.
"It was very satisfying -- I think that's an understatement," Lowell said. "I know I had to kind of urge the doctors a little to let me play that last game, but that was very important to me, because I was told my hand was going to be getting significantly better each day. My goal was to at least see if I could swing that last day, and keep getting better through batting practice. I think things worked out very well.
"It was the biggest home run I've hit. So I just -- I don't know, I was just looking at Kenny Lofton, hoping he didn't have a bead on it. Things just worked out nice. I can't explain it. It was just a great feeling, to come back, and they had the lead, and we take it back, and it was a great 11th I think, and we came home with a victory."
Cubs manager Dusty Baker was well aware of Lowell's presence on the bench.
"Yeah, I anticipated they'd bring in Lowell," Baker said. "But in that situation I was down to three pitchers. And if I brought in a righty, they had (Lenny) Harris over there, and (Dave) Veres is good, so I took my shot with Lowell. Even if he gets a base hit, he's not a threat to steal. He can't run, and I've got the left-handers up after him. Lowell hadn't been playing much. I liked the matchup there. Lowell, and then hopefully get (Juan) Pierre and (Luis) Castillo, and go to my right-handers. I took the shot in the 11th with Lowell, we hung a pitch and he hit it."
McKeon said of that matchup: "It was perfect. We know that (Lowell) has some power. And he was the guy we wanted in that situation, especially when they brought the left-hander in. It couldn't happen to a greater guy, really. Mike has been hurt. The other kid came in, Cabrera has done an outstanding job offensively and defensively, and it's tough to get Mike some at-bats. He understands the situation. And I was very happy to see him be able to deliver the winning ball, and also make him feel like he's part of this thing, too."
The home run was typical of Florida's resiliency all night, this one after Sammy Sosa had tied the game with a long ball in the bottom of the ninth. It also was huge, because the Marlins now face Mark Prior and Kerry Wood back-to-back.
"I think our main goal was to try to hold them there, and try to scratch and claw, maybe pick up one or two runs at a time," Lowell said. "We blasted back in that third inning. It was a huge momentum swing, being down 4-0 and going up 5-4. And it just kept going back and forth. It was weird. This was an exciting game. Two outs in the ninth with Sammy up, he came through for the crowd. It was like a boxing match."

Paul Simon, Sting, Stevie Wonder, And James Taylor Set For NYC Benefit
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Paul Simon, Sting, Stevie Wonder, and James Taylor will headline the October 4th concert at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall to benefit the Children's Health Fund. Broadway World reported that the fundraiser celebrates the 25th anniversary of the charity, which Simon started with pediatrician Irwin Redlener, MD. Since 1986, "Children's Health Fund has expanded nationwide to become the primary source of medical care for thousands of homeless and low-income families and now has 25 programs operating in 17 states and Washington, D.C."
Also set to appear at the event are Paul Simon's wife, Edie Brickell, Sting's wife Trudie Styler, Tina Fey, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Steve Martin, and Ruben Blades. Simon Fuller will be honored with the Fund's Founder's Award. Tickets run between $125 and $1,000.
Paul Simon, who's no stranger to playing both to arenas and massive festival crowds, explained that ultimately, performing in theaters is a preferable way to connect his music with his audience: "If I am standing here and singing with the band behind me, and this is how close I am to the audience, I am going to have visual contact with the audience and there's going to be a feeling of interaction. But if the audience is 40 feet back and they can see me on a screen over here, it's harder to actually have a real feeling of interaction, because of the physical separation."

Aspen coils are an excellent choice if you would like a high-quality, inexpensive alternative to name brand evaporator coils. Aspen coils are designed to work with all brands of central air conditioning and heat pump equipment, and many models are AHRI certified for guaranteed efficiency and capacity ratings for brands such as Goodman, Haier and others.
Aspen Manufacturing is one of the largest independent coil manufacturers in the US. Aspen utilizes state-of-the-art fabrication and assembly equipment to maintain low costs while maintaining the highest possible quality in all their products. Other manufacturers may achieve high efficiencies by increasing the size and cost of their coils. Not Aspen. Aspen has re-engineered their coils from the inside, tightening fin packs, increasing tube rows, and adding TXV's when necessary.
This coil comes ready for use with R-410A refrigerant systems. The coil can also be used in an R-22 system with a simple 5 minute field conversion, consisting of removing the TXV refrigerant regulator and installing an appropriate sized orifice. The correct orifice size is determined by the outdoor unit. When installing a new outdoor unit (air conditioner or heat pump), the correct orifice is usually supplied with that equipment. If you are installing the indoor coil only in a system with an existing outdoor unit, find the required orifice size in the manufacturer's documentation or use our chart.
