Reviving a Gun Law That Didn't Work
On Friday, a heavily armed young man walked into a Connecticut elementary school and murdered 20 first-graders and six adults before he killed himself. Even in a country inured to gun violence, this crime is too heinous to contemplate.
Now the question is: Does Washington pass a bad law just to do something, anything, even something that doesn't enhance public safety?
I write this as a former assault-weapons ban supporter, who observed that the 1994 federal assault-weapons ban, which expired in 2004, didn't reduce gun violence in America. Nor, apparently, did Connecticut's assault-weapons ban, passed in 1993 and still in force.
The New York Times reports that all three guns — a Glock and a Sig Sauer handgun and a .223 Bushmaster semiautomatic rifle — brought by the shooter to Sandy Hook Elementary School were "legally acquired and registered" by the shooter's mother, who was his first victim.
The Sandy Hook shooter used 30-round clips, which were illegal under the 1994 federal law — except that old large-capacity magazines were exempt. The Washington Post reports there were 24 million such magazines in private hands at the time the law passed.
A University of Pennsylvania study of the federal assault-weapons law found that while gun violence declined during its 10-year existence, "We cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation's recent drop in gun violence. And, indeed, there has been no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence."
It's been my experience that the more people support bans like the 1994 assault-weapons law, the less they know about guns. They often use the term "semiautomatic" as if it were synonymous with "assault weapon." They couldn't pick out an "assault weapon" in a firearms line up.
They say they don't want to mess with the rights of gun owners, but if the gun-control lobby manages to pass laws that limit high-power weapons, it then will try to ban "junk guns" — or cheap guns.
Over the weekend, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the author of the 1994 federal ban, said that on the first day of the new Congress she will introduce an updated assault-weapons ban, which specifically would ban the .223 Bushmaster. A press release explained that her new bill would ban the "sale of more than 100 assault weapons" and limit clips to 10 rounds, while protecting "gun owners by exempting more than 900 specific hunting and sporting weapons."
The problem: No law can do both things well.
I'm all for limiting clip rounds to 10 bullets and closing background-check loopholes. But judging by the press release, Feinstein's new bill looks like another gun bill that has the potential to reduce the death toll in a mass shooting — obviously a good thing — but at a cost.
The cost is that law-abiding gun owners, and those who are not so law-abiding, are going to run out and buy guns and bullets, pronto. They see a bunch of politicians, who don't know guns, about to mess with their right to self-protection. And it doesn't make them feel safer. Me either.

Great British Bake Off final attracts viewer high of 7.2m
The final of 'The Great British Bake Off' drew the programme's biggest-ever audience, peaking at 7.2 million on BBC2 last night, while ITV1 suffered from a cancelled World Cup qualifier.
Great British Bake Off: top baker John Whaite
The 'Great British Bake Off', which attracted a 15-minute peak of 6.7 million in its final 15 minutes, saw underdog John Whaite beat favourites James and Brendan to become top baker and win the final.
The show aired between 8pm and 9pm last night (Tuesday 16 October) and drew an average audience of 6.5 million, a 25.3% share. It attracted a five-minute peak of 7.2 million, according to unofficial overnight figures.
Less successfully, ITV1's planned coverage of England's World Cup qualifier against Poland suffered a setback when the game was cancelled due to a waterlogged stadium. However, the build-up to the non-event in Warsaw drew an average peak of 4.3 million, a 17.1% share. It reached a five-minute audience peak of 6.3 million.
When officials in Warsaw finally announced the cancellation of the game at 8.55pm, ITV rejigged its schedule and ran an episode of 'Doc Martin' from 9.10pm, which peaked at two million viewers at 10pm.
Elsewhere, Channel 4's highest-rating show of the evening was the Sarah Beeny-presented 'Double Your House for Half the Money', which aired between 8pm and 9pm and drew a 15-minute peak of 1.7 million viewers.
BBC1's 'Holby City', on at the same time as 'Double Your House', attracted an audience of 5.1 million, while the channel's highest performing show was 'EastEnders', with a peak of 7.8 million.

Friday May 4, 2012 MYT 12:00:00 AM
Sunday May 26, 2013 MYT 6:44:05 PM
KUALA LUMPUR: A study covering nine Asian markets described rich Malaysians as ambitious and aggressive in growing their wealth, with 75% aiming to be worth about US$4mil (RM12mil) within the next 10 years.
The Future Priority 2012 Report, the second series survey conducted by Standard Chartered Bank and Scorpio Partnership, captured the sentiment of over 2,700 wealthy Asians.
Malaysians remain confident in growing their wealth after Indonesia (98%), India (88%), China (78%) and Thailand (also 78%).
Tiew Siew Chuen, Country Head of Consumer Banking at Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Bhd, said affluent Malaysians needed an annual return of 15% to achieve their wealth target, compared to an average of 12% for Asia.
She said Asians were very confident of their wealth goal, based on the expected resilient economy going forward. She added that the region was seen as an excellent wealth creation opportunity platform.
"Affluent Malaysians' top choices of investment are gold, high interest savings, unit trusts and real estate," Tiew said at a media briefing here yesterday.
She said that in wealth creation, it was important to consider not just investments but also the use of credit.
The survey showed 42% of affluent Malaysians were smart wealth builders who make use of credit to enhance their investment returns.
Tiew added: "Borrowing is no longer seen as a liability to one's wealth. Used carefully, it is a wealth management tool."
She said, after the Thais, there was a strong desire among Malaysians to be financially independent when saving for retirement.
Tiew said affluent Malaysians agreed with those in South Korea and Indonesia that a house was a good long-term asset, compared to Thailand and India who consider it to be reflective of who they are. — Bernama

Seaweed is nature's duct tape—it works as well at holding together rolls of sushi as it does at quickly fixing a mermaid's broken bikini top. Keep it together with this Groupon.
$10 for $20 Worth of Japanese Cuisine and Sushi
The menu includes items such as a Seattle roll, a mix on a California roll with bake scallops ($9.95), a Hamachi roll with yellowtail and scallions ($5.95), and hibachi entrees such as chicken ($14) and shrimp ($19).
Soya Sushi Bar & Bistro
Whether they're delicately rolling rice around veggies and seafood or arranging a visually arresting plate, Soya Sushi Bar & Bistro's culinary experts approach every step of their sushi making with artistry. They fill rolls with ingredients such as quail eggs and fatty tuna and craft california roll variations such as the Lion King, a cali roll with caviar sauce, which never fails to send guests home with a hankering for Elton John's unique brand of adult-contemporary piano rock. Sushi aside, chefs douse Chilean sea bass in a sweet ginger onion ponzu reduction, whip up classic tempura udon, and pair stir-fried veggies with hibachi-style lobster, chicken, and scallops.
The staff is friendly and fun, ready to make you feel at home. The food presentation is beautiful and tantalizing.Troy S.
My favorite rolls here now are Rocky Crisp and the Lobster Tail. They continue to make a great garlic edamame and seafood noodles.Eric C.
Tips from Groupon Customers
"Good food, nice atmosphere, and great music."
"its a great sushi place.. very fast and great service"
"Food great very clean and very welcoming I would go back again very friendly and inviting "

Motorcycle hits deer on interstate
Updated On: Jun 17 2013 09:29:08 AM CDT
A motorcyclist collided with a deer on the Interstate 29 early Monday morning.
The Iowa State Patrol said a group of motorcycles were heading south on I-29 just before the collision around 1:10 a.m.
Authorities said a deer got onto the road near the Crescent exit, and two motorcyclists avoided the deer.
The third motorcyclist collided with the animal.
The man driver, Jeffrey Walker, 37, of Council Bluffs, suffered only cuts and bruises.
A 36-year-old passenger, Megan Walker, suffered a possible broken collarbone.
Both were taken to a Council Bluffs hospital. The crash remains under investigation.

Of course, but are they not all players worthy of a multi-year commitment? Why are we suddenly restricting ourselves to 1 or 2 year deals?
The key is signing the right people at the right price.
I agree but we are avoiding multiyear deals specifically to create the cap space necessary to sign our QB and MLB to long term deals.

"The only thing about this invitation that wasn't perfect was the slightly grainy look for the "vintage" style photo on the front."
"I loved this card for my son's 1st birthday invitation. It's so simple and cute. The lettering and different sized fonts were playful, yet didn't take away from whichever photo of your child you decided to pick. These are my favorite types of cardstock as well. The matte, rounded edges are so adorable."
"Perfect card with the exception of the spacing was slightly off in front. I am sure if we had waited for a designer to review it would have been adjusted for my designers eye. Not many will notice what graphic designers are driven mad with. But we were late in getting down so is fine just wish I had the designer look at spacing."
"I ordered my daughters birthday invitations from here for the 2nd year & just like the 1st time, they are so unique & beautiful!! Not only that, but they arrived almost a week ahead of the given delivery date!!! How amazing! This is definitely where I will always order from in the future. :)"
"This was a great card for my 2 children who were having a joint birthday party, but are NOT twins. The only negative thing was that the preprinted envelopes were very difficult to read because the font was so small and light. However, they were all delivered, so I guess the postman could read them!"

Are the Suns burned out?
Tuesday morning in Miami, Suns president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo was not in a good mood.
"You caught me on a bad day," Colangelo said in a subdued voice. "A really bad day."
Colangelo was on the road with his struggling team and was still recovering from the Suns' Monday night debacle in Orlando. Phoenix blew a 22-point first quarter lead and became the first team in 19 games to lose to the Magic.
The loss would end up being a crushing blow to both Colangelo and head coach Frank Johnson. Twenty-four hours later, Johnson was unemployed, assistant Mike D'Antoni was the new head coach and a depressed Colangelo was sifting through the embers, trying to find the spark that made the Suns the most promising young team in the NBA last season.
What happened to the Suns? What will it take to turn the team around? There are still more questions than answers right now.

Geetika, I hear you.
Several times in the past, I have been unable to post. For some reason when I logged on, my name did not appear, just as if I had I logged on from another computer. I registered this concern on Fodors and was given a new (lengthy) password by email.
Also some months back, I could post a reply to any inquiry, but could not start a new thread. I emailed the site a few times before the problem was remedied.
I am sure that others have had the same experience. Nevertheless, I believe that these occasional contretemps are negligible compared with the enjoyment I get from the forum.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Football is a game of inches. After practice on Wednesday every member of the Vols was given an inch, literally. Coach Butch Jones had rulers cut into inches and they were distributed to the players to emphasize the importance of each inch.
"We talk about the phrase, `inches make a champion,' and as we've emphasized," said offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian. "The process of becoming champions is an inch-by-inch process.
"You're not going to go from the one-inch line to the three-yard line without covering some ground in a gradual process. Our guys know that improving on a daily basis and improving inch by inch is the way to become a champion."
The little things matter and that importance is being pushed by all of the coaches on Jones' staff. The Vols' running game is improved from the last few seasons, but Robert Gillespie continues to preach the inches mantra as well.
"We talk about in the running back room, we talk about turning eight into 80," Gillespie said. "There's still just finishing our runs a little bit better, and some holes we're missing and becoming better pass protectors, so there's a lot of areas we can continue to get better in, but the thing is, that those guys come in every day, eyes wide open trying to find the extra inch that Coach is talking about."
When South Carolina comes to Neyland Stadium on Saturday, the Volunteer defensive line will be tested against the Gamecocks versatile offense and mobile quarterback in Connor Shaw.
This isn't the first time the Vols have faced a running quarterback this season, but each week, each quarterback brings a new attribute that the defense must prepare for during practice.
"I think the fine line is holding your points but yet getting pressure on the quarterback and it is a fine line- telling them to sit there and hold your points on the quarterback, because you want to put pressure on the quarterback," said defensive line coach Steve Stripling. "The balance of finding that line of pressuring the quarterback and yet keeping him in the pocket."
Tennessee will have to do just that against the Gamecocks' senior quarterback.
"He has the ability to throw it anywhere when he is on the run- across the field, down the field, I think that is what makes him a little more dangerous, especially when you don't have a lot of eyes on him to see where he is going," said Stripling. "I think their quarterback is outstanding and extends plays, meaning that that he doesn't scramble to scramble, he scrambles to find a better position to throw the ball and that is what makes him dangerous."
Applying pressure to Shaw will be key, but must be done with great discipline.
"There is a fine line," Stripling said. "You want to apply pressure to the quarterback but you also want to maintain those points. Connor Shaw extends plays. He never pulls down to run for a few yards, he pulls down to get a better launch point. He has his eyes downfield. That is obviously the point of emphasis."
One week ago Tennessee offensive coordinator Bajakain senior tailback Rajion Neal as his mid-season MVP. Leading the Vols in rushing attempts (108), rushing yards (616) and touchdowns scored (7) makes Neal the obvious favorite for the award.
But according the Bajakian, the Fayetteville, Ga., native has come a long way since the start of training camp.
"It's been a process and he's made progress every week," said Bajakian. "Since week one and our first day here, he's improved in a lot of ways. [He's improved] in our pass protection and in his ability to make runs in a physical manner."
Those aren't the only areas where Neal has made improvement. He's established himself as the go-to playmaker for the Vols.
"As guys make plays, they get the ball more," said Bajakian. "Rajion has proved that he can make plays."
One key to Neal's improvement has been his developing relationship with the offensive line.
"We've got a great relationship on and off the field," Neal said on Tuesday. "We find ourselves sometimes off the field talking about games, stuff that we might have done during practice that just spring up on us. We're always kind of around each other talking about ball and just really spending time with each other."
At the encouragement of the coaching staff, that relationship has also blossomed in the film room.
"We encourage our guys to watch as much video as possible and to watch as a group," said Bajakian. "I think the receivers understanding what the quarterback is seeing and vise-versa is important. The running backs understanding what the offensive line is trying to accomplish and vise-versa is important.
"The offensive line knowing the running backs' reads and painting a clear picture for him is an important part of executing. We talk about 11 hats being on the same page. In offensive football, if one guy doesn't execute and 10 guys execute very well, the play can get blown up. In order to execute on the same page I think they all need to have an understanding of the entire scheme and the entire concept."
Neal also said that he's joined the guys on the o-line in the film room more this season than past campaigns, and credits the coaches for that.
"It's definitely more of the coaches," said Neal. "The coaches are bringing a lot out of us and have a lot of high expectations. We definitely find time to kind of get in and sit in with those guys and pick their brains a little bit."
There are two coaches on the Vols staff that are very familiar with South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier.
Defensive coordinator John Jancek and defensive backs coach Willie Martinez went head-to-head with Spurrier from 2005-09 when they were at Georgia, winning four of their five match ups.
What they also know is that they better be ready heading into Saturday's meeting with the Gamecocks.
"His teams are always well prepared," said Martinez. "They are well coached. He has had great players. Bottom like that is what it is all about. Nothing to take away from him, he is a great coach, his record speaks for itself. But it is about the players."
This season, Spurrier has a slew of offensive talent.
"He has got a great experienced quarterback to run the offense," said Martinez. "A great tailback in Mike Davis and really a great receiving corps that has been productive. It all starts up front with a great offensive line so they got players."
With all of the good players that Spurrier has had over the years, he has always adapted his offense to their abilities.
Exactly what he is doing with quarterback Connor Shaw.
"When he had Lattimore he adapted to his strengths and formed his offense around him and now he has Connor and he is doing some really good things with him," said Jancek. "I just think he is a smart ball coach. He isn't stubborn, he sees what his talented level is, he sees what the skillsets of his players that he has and he adapts accordingly. There are a lot of things that he still does but I think to his credit he has adapted to what he players can do."
Jancek knows that they better be ready for anything when it comes to a Spurrier coached team.
"He is aggressive, he is going to take a shot," said Jancek. "He is aggressive. You have to know the situation. He is a guy who is going to try and open it up and hit you right off the get go, he is going to come out swinging. That is what makes it exciting."

Saints place franchise tag on Jimmy Graham
Updated On: Feb 28 2014 07:30:07 PM CST
Jimmy Graham confirmed via Twitter Friday afternoon that he has been franchised tagged by the New Orleans Saints.
Graham led all NFL tight ends in receiving last year with 86 catches for 1,215 yards and 16 touchdowns.
Graham did not specify whether the Saints franchised him as a tight end or as a wide receiver, but it is expected that the Saints would franchise him as a tight end.
Graham, officially listed as a tight end on New Orleans' roster, lined up out wide or in the slot for 67 percent of the snaps in which he played last season.
It's a big difference too, because franchised tight ends make $6.7 million for one season, and franchised wide receivers make $11.5 million for one season.
Every NFL team has the option to franchise one player per offseason and must pay that player the average of the 10 highest paid players at that position for one season.
The deadline to place the tag on Graham, or any other potential free agent Saint, was Monday.
Graham had a little fun with his conformation tweet, "Confirming it's officially Franchisefriday... TAG ... I guess I'm it..."
Now, Saints fans must wait and see if he will play the 2014 season under the franchise tag or if he will hold out for a longer and more lucrative contract.

Sochi slopestyle skiing and snowboarding World Cups cancelled for lack of snow
Canada's freestyle skiers and snowboarders lose their opportunity for an Olympic dry run when the slopestyle World Cups in Sochi, Russia were cancelled for lack of snow.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Canada's snowboarders were packed and ready to fly to Sochi, Russia on Monday for an Olympic test event in slopestyle when they got the bad news.
No snow. No course. No World Cup.
"Everybody was ready to see how things look and get the feeling of the area, but it's not happening. It's a bummer," said Robert Joncas, high-performance director at Canada Snowboard. "It happens. We're weather dependent."
When Sochi was first announced as the venue for the 2014 Winter Olympics there were some raised eyebrows. It's warm there, so warm that palm trees grow happily along the resort city's boulevards.
Russian officials have always stated that up the mountain, snow in February is "guaranteed." And, just in case, they had back-up plans with massive underground vaults built to store snow and extensive snowmaking abilities, even in warm temperatures.
But, with the Winter Games one year away on Thursday, Sochi organizers, it seems, are struggling in their battle with Mother Nature.
Two World Cups in slopestyle snowboarding and skiing, which act as dry runs for the Olympic venues, were cancelled "due to lack of snow and continuous warm and rainy weather conditions," according to FIS, the international ski and snowboard governing body. The cancelled World Cups were scheduled for Feb. 11 and 13.
Sochi organizers are "undertaking all possible efforts" to ensure that other Olympic freestyle events, slated for Feb 14-19, in halfpipe, aerials, moguls, cross, parallel slalom and giant slalom will go ahead, said the FIS. On Monday, Sochi 2014 officials said the remaining events would all take place as planned.
While slopestyle snowboarders will be utilizing their fallback plan — a training camp in Whistler, B.C. — Canada's skiers will still be leaving for Sochi on Wednesday.
The athletes, including medal hopefuls like Kaya Turski and Dara Howell, need to "get a feel for the travel there, which is a huge undertaking," said Peter Judge, chief executive of the Canadian Freestyle Skiing Association.
They'll also be able to ski around the mountain where their event will be held. There is snow there, just not enough to build the jumps for a slopestyle course, he said.
With all the snowmaking equipment and plans for storing snow in Sochi, it wasn't immediately clear why the slopestyle course ran into such difficulties.
"I'm a bit mystified," Judge said. "It raises a yellow flag, I wouldn't say a red one."
If anything, he said, this experience should make organizers more aware of the need to make and store snow whenever the weather allows. "If it's freezing in October, you blow snow."
Sochi is not alone in its weather woes. Two ski-cross events in Germany were cancelled just days ago because of the weather. But this is the exact same time of the year that the Olympics will be held in Sochi so the cancellations raise questions about whether this is a sign of trouble to come for the Games.
"We don't have any concerns," Joncas said, noting that the parallel giant slalom test event was cancelled in 2009 ahead of the Vancouver Games. "With the experience we had in the Vancouver Olympics, everyone is confident that they'll have a Plan B."
Snowboard Canada said it is out some $13,000 in flight cancellations and visa fees from the planned trip for athletes, coaches and support staff. There's a chance the slopestyle event will be rescheduled but, if it isn't, they'll send the top athletes there later in the season anyway to "get a feeling for the place," Joncas said.
Canada's snowboarders have been waiting to find out if the Sochi slopestyle course will have jumps large enough to safely land the trick of the moment, the triple cork. The jump involves three off-axis flips while spinning around four times in the air.
Canada's Mark McMorris, Sebastien Toutant and Maxence Parrot have all landed the risky move in competition, making them a rarity in the world and Olympic medal favourites a year out.

Posted by John Jacob, a health communications writer and editor at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
The September meeting of the Public Health Council focused on several items related to hospitals and health care plans in Massachusetts.
The Council voted to approve the acquisition by Steward Health System of two hospitals in Massachusetts: Morton Hospital in Taunton and Quincy Medical Center in Quincy.
The Council also heard a request from the DPH Office of Patient Protection (OPP) for the promulgation of emergency amendments related to the external review of the appeals processes of health plans operating in the state. The amendments would bring Massachusetts into compliance with new federal requirements in this area, which are in place following the 2010 federal health care reform law.
Dr. Madeleine Biondolillo, Director of the DPH Health Care Safety and Quality Bureau, joined Dr. Robert Duncan and Dr. Kenneth Sands (above) in giving an informational presentation on the continuing efforts to promote flu vaccination for health care workers in Massachusetts. It's an important issue, because high rates of flu vaccination coverage among health care workers has been shown to reduce illness and absenteeism in that work force, protect patients in health care environments, and lead to reduced health care costs overall.

Jennifer Aniston's got some posh new digs!
The Hollywood Reporter says the "Wanderlust" star, 42, has reportedly snapped up a posh $9 million pad in Manhattan's Gramercy Park neighborhood.
Her new three-bedroom, 2,873-square-foot space -- which includes building perks like housekeeping, room and butler service and a membership to the luxe David Barton gym -- was listed through Prudential Douglas Elliman.

Maintenance fees alone are said to run over $11,000 per month, but it's worth it for this space, which THR says is the only unit in the building that looks out on Gramercy Park from the master bedroom.

Today at Flavorpill, we wondered where the rest of Jonah Hill disappeared off to. We feared the kind of crowds this 50-foot tall lava lamp in Washington State will attract. We were amused by the fact that Takashi Murakami thinks that his artwork is too expensive. We watched a montage of Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights saying y'all a whole bunch. We were surprised to hear that Jim and Pam from The Office are expecting another baby (are things like that allowed to happen in the off-season?). We had some deep thoughts about the Muppets post-Jim Henson — particularly Kermit. We wanted to go on a $14,000 shopping spree in London with Beyoncé and Tina Knowles. We learned how to take a screenshot on our iPhone. We liked this photo series of stormtroopers on vacay. And finally, we wished that French artist Benjamin Boré would make the streets of New York City more bouncy. His installation in Bourges, France looks like so much fun!

Although the scoreline is flattering
When we went wide after some great off loads in the close quarters (nice trailers btw) it was fantastic. Joel you had a stormer as did Lee and Jedz, and Jack your second half was sick!
