Raise your glasses: last week MCM joined Germany's celebrities, fashion insiders and journalists toasting to the launch of Martina Rinks' newest Book called "Fashion Germany" at The Corner Berlin. The unforgettable event was celebrated by Berlin's finest selection of stars and fashion lovers such as fashion journalist & former Vogue Editor-in-Chief Angelica Blechschmidt, jewellery designer Saskia Diez and model Shermine Sharivar, to name a few.
In her newest work Fashion Germany (Prestel Verlag, 2014), the internationally renowned author Martina Rink (aka "Isabella Blow") introduces the most important public figures of the German Fashion industry/scene, such as photographer Peter Lindbergh, artist Armin Morbach, Fashion Fair Manager Anita Tillmann, Creative Director Mirko Borsche, journalist Christoph Amend, PR lady Vanessa von Bismarck, Fashion Stylist Julia von Boehm or the Editor-in-chief and blogger Sandra Bauknecht. Designers, fashion icons & models received exclusive features in this book alongside a selection of important protagonists that often operate in the background behind-the-scenes. With personal interviews, handwritten articles and top-class imagery, a fascinating portrait of influential Germans in the international world of fashion was created.
During Berlin Fashion Week 2014, the exclusive book was presented alongside with a Limited Edition MCM Book Cover showing a special design created by illustrator Jasmin Khezri (aka "Irmas World").
Haven't heard of this cute drawing? Let me introduce you to this animated fashion icon:
IRMA is always on the go, looking for exciting new projects, cutting edge designs, timeless trends, once in a lifetime experiences, inspirational people as well as creative endeavours. The character IRMA embodies Jasmin Khezri herself, who is an internationally recognised journalist, illustrator and the founder of www.irmasworld.com. She gives fashion, lifestyle and beauty advice in women's and lifestyle magazines in Germany, Great Britain, France, the US and Japan. Her illustrations are regularly published in international magazines like Tatler, Elle, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Vogue and Glamour.
You can read IRMAS styling tips on www.irmasworld.com as well as in Glamour magazine in Germany, the International Trend Scout, celebrity interviewer and style guru. IRMA also regularly provides fashion and beauty advice and practical lifestyle tips to publications in the UK, US, France and Japan.
In celebration of MCM's patronage of fashion & the arts, this fashion insider made an exclusive cameo on our beautiful Limited Edition book cover. Designed as a high-quality protective case and work of art, the facade featured our iconic Cognac Visetos pattern decorated with the illustrative character IRMA. Just as Jasmin Khezris' alter ego, she is always travelling the world ? always gathering new inspirations on-the-go.
During the launch event, Germany's most important fashion scene, aka the who's-who, celebrated at the Corner Berlin: Designer Duo Talbot Runhof, Alexandra Fischer-Roehler from Kaviar Gauche, publisher Angelika Taschen, Kai nMargrander (Fashion Director Harper's Bazaar), Klaus Stockhausen (Fashion Director INTERVIEW), Sandra Bauknecht (Editor-in-Chief L'Officiel Switzerland), Konstantin Spachis (Fashion Director Qvest Magazine) and Kera Till (Illustrator Vogue Digital) and more:

Green putting plan into immediate action
New head coach Dennis Green has quickly come in and shaken things up with the Cardinals.
Quite a busy week, huh, for new Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green.
Let's see, he released five veterans, all of them nondescript and all of them taking snaps away from younger players. He reversed direction on Raynoch Thompson, opting not to cut one of his most talented defenders, after a tete-a-tete with the linebacker. And he benched L.J. Shelton, despite the fact he's a three-year starter at left tackle, and a guy who banked a $5 million signing bonus seven months ago when his contract was redone.
Because the fun, and the makeover of the Cardinals, is just getting started. Just wait until Green really hits his stride.
He may not be a miracle worker, which is what it would take to shepherd the Cardinals to the playoffs in 2004. But Dennis Green is a proven commodity, a guy who knows how to win, and who eventually will succeed in the desert. That eclipse which has hovered over The Valley of the Sun for too many NFL seasons will move on in the next couple years.
Among the several nicknames hung on Green by his Minnesota Vikings players, some of them behind his back but most of which he knew about anyway, was "The Sheriff." We think there's another "sh" handle, "The Shark," that might be even more apropos for him in his second head coaching incarnation. Why so? Because if a shark ever stops moving, it dies, and Green hasn't stopped moving and shaking since he touched down in Phoenix.
His hiring, an uncommon stroke of genius by the Bidwill family, has provided energy to a franchise that sorely needed some pizzazz. Green is a do-er, a man of decisiveness and of action, arguably the pluperfect panacea for a team that has been ailing for a long time. If it takes shaking things up a bit to somehow get the dead-in-the-water ship right again, well, he is probably the guy to have at the wheel.
Of course, make no mistake, Green is going to do most of the steering. That doesn't mean vice president Rod Graves won't get input, because clearly his vote will count, but Green has quickly become the face of the franchise. And it's a visage, and a vision as well, that commands respect and allows fans and players to believe something better lies ahead.
Said one veteran: "He's got some snake-oil salesman in him, that's for sure, but you can't help but buy into it. I mean, everything he talks about, he can back up with his résumé. He isn't going to sit still and just wait for something to happen. In a real short time here, he's demonstrated he'll make something happen."
How quickly Green can reverse the fortunes of a team that has made only one playoff appearance since relocating from St. Louis in 1988 remains to be seen. But any inertia won't result from a lack of effort and this week offered just the latest example of how Green figures to operate.
Despite the national spin, dumping the five veteran backups had nothing to do with the salary cap, since the Cardinals were already more than $7 million under the cap and the moves generated only modest savings. Instead, the departures were meant to create more opportunities for younger, hungrier players. In the Thompson case, Green displayed some pliability, deciding to afford the talented but temperamental linebacker another chance. And with Shelton, overweight and apparently underachieving in the offseason, Green showed that reputations and paychecks don't matter to him.
It was suggested that, with the demotion of Shelton at mid-week, Green was sending a message to the troops. But here's the thing about Green: He doesn't send messages in manners veiled or otherwise. What you see with Green is what you get. There is really little pretense and he doesn't reconcile patience very well. When he looks you in the eye, and tells you something, the words are typically stripped of all veneer.
"He's not a guy who blows smoke," said starting quarterback Josh McCown. "There is no hidden agenda. I think part of the reason he has been so quickly respected, beyond the fact he's been there and done it in the past, is that he shoots straight with you."
In the case of McCown, whose resume includes all of three starts, that meant not going after one of the highly regarded quarterbacks in the draft and not attempting to sign a guy like Kerry Collins. A man who believes in his "system," which he trumpets at just about every opportunity, Green went to the playoffs eight times in Minnesota and did so with six different quarterbacks. Not only does he believe in giving people a chance, he also believes in his own abilities to make things work, and it's hard to argue the track record.
Another example of his lack of subterfuge in matters football-related: Three months before the draft, while chatting at the commissioner's party two nights before the Super Bowl, Green all but assured a couple of reporters that if Larry Fitzgerald was granted eligibility, he was going to take him. While everyone surmised Green was bluffing, he never wavered in his conviction, even though the Cardinals had chosen wideouts in the first and second rounds in 2003.
"I never doubted him," Fitzgerald said.
Those who regard Arizona as one of the league's hinterlands, a place where no one will ever succeed, might be wise to adopt a similar stance. This week provided a capsulized insight into Dennis Green and how he works. In the big picture, though, it was just a Kodak moment. There are a lot more changes to come. And, eventually, those changes will dramatically alter the Arizona franchise for the better.

Amazon unveils FireTV: A $99 set-top box that has three times the power of Apple TV April 2, 2014 at 11:56 am
After months of speculation, Amazon has finally announced its plans for a set-top box designed to stream Amazon Prime video. At its living-room-themed press event in New York, the Seattle company unveiled its plans for its very own $99 Android-based set-top box called the FireTV. Best of all, it's shipping today.
Amazon's game controller emerges: Now where's the game console itself? March 14, 2014 at 1:42 pm
Thanks to some leaked images from the Brazilian equivalent of the FCC, it appears that Amazon's long-awaited set-top box/game console is finally coming to market. The leaked images show a gamepad that is strongly reminiscent of the Xbox 360 gamepad, with some additional buttons in the middle, and some media playback buttons on the bottom edge. The buttons in the middle of the controller all but confirm that Amazon's new game console/media streamer/
will run Android, too. Microsoft to force Xbox Live on iOS and Android, will lead to disaster March 3, 2014 at 3:50 pm
Microsoft isn't content with keeping its Xbox Live service in the living room. Based on a recent job posting, it's evident that Microsoft is now trying to expand its gaming ecosystem directly into iOS and Android smartphones. While mobile games with Xbox-powered leaderboards and achievements might sound like a brilliant idea at first, this initiative is actually another disaster waiting to happen for Redmond.
Amazon could take on the PS4, Xbox One, and Apple TV all at once with its own game console February 11, 2014 at 10:45 am
Hot off the heels of the Xbox One and PS4 launches, Amazon is rumored to be releasing its first console later this year, and it will likely sell for under $300. With an incredibly low entry price, an existing content ecosystem, and a recent high-profile developer acquisition, Amazon is primed to take on Microsoft and Sony head-on.

Chromebooks pick up 10% of the computer market in 2013, capitalizing on Windows 8's failure December 30, 2013 at 8:21 am
Surprisingly, out of Amazon's top three best-selling laptops this holiday season, two of them are Chromebooks. Even weirder, according market research company NPD, Chromebooks account for 21% of all commercial US laptop sales so far this year, and 10% of all computers and tablets sold in the US. In 2012, Chromebooks accounted for just 0.2% of all computer and tablet sales. Is this really happening? Is Google doing it again, first with Android taking the world by storm, and now Chrome OS? Is the low-cost, netbook-in-sheep's-clothing Chromebook the surprise breakout hit of 2013?

iPad Air: Escaping Apple's Reality Distortion Field October 23, 2013 at 2:24 pm
At first glance, with the Apple Reality Distortion Field at full power, the iPad Air seems like an impeccable, immaculate device that could only ever be conceived by the magicians at Apple in California. The iPad Air is some 30% lighter and 20% thinner than the iPad that it replaces, while still retaining the same Retina display and 10 hours of battery life. Somehow, just somehow, Apple made us feel that it had yet again pulled off the impossible. In reality, the iPad Air, while very attractive, isn't remarkable at all.

First 9
This patch is only worn by the nine founding members of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club.
V. President
Indicates that its wearer is the Vice President of a charter.
This patch indicates that its wearer is the "Sergeant-at-Arms" of a charter. The Sergeant-at-Arms is responsible for discipline and security within a charter. He also serves as a bodyguard for the President protecting him from danger - he is almost always at the side of the President.
This patch is worn by the Secretary. He is in charge of information and bookkeeping.
Road Captain
This patch is worn by the Road Captain. He is responsible for organizing the route the charter takes on rides, ensuring the safety of club members on the road and ensuring discipline while on rides. There is no Road Captain in the Charming chapter.
Men of Mayhem
The Men of Mayhem patch is given to a member who has shed blood in the interests of the club. A reference to the SOA term "Mister Mayhem" (Death). Known wearers of the Men of Mayhem patch include Jax Teller, Opie Winston, Juice Ortiz, Allesandro Montez, Rane Quinn, Orlin West, Clay Morrow, Herman Kozik and many other patched members seen in the show.
Redwood Original
Charter name of the mother club.
Charming, CA
Worn by members of the Charming Chapter. Worn on the Right by the belt.
Sons Of Anarchy
Identifies club membership.
Unholy Ones
The patch is worn by those who are willing to sacrifice loyalty to individual club members for the overall good of the club. Worn by Clay, Happy, Kozik, West, Jury (Indian Hills), Seamus Ryan (SAMBEL) and Benny (SAMTAZ). Also on the bottom left side of Clay's Vest. (Given to longstanding members, those who will "fight to the last breath" or die SoA.) Another school of thought regarding this patch is that it is given to a member who kills another member on behalf of the club.
Someone hopeful for club membership, who rides with the club during a probationary period. A unanimous club vote must be cast by the membership to earn a full patch.
Hang Around
(A "hang around" is the first of various levels of membership in an MC) A hang around is described as friendly to the organization but is not an actual member yet. They typically go to parties, buy the t-shirts and try to make contacts within the organization to help boost their membership level. Hang Arounds also ride with the group whenever there is a ride but otherwise they don't get involved in the organization.
This patch shows that your a member of the Mayans

"As an American, I was not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials"...Newt Gingrich The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.
That's a great photo and I bet if you took a look at photos from EVERY conflict since the invention of film, you will find a similar, iconic, photo. The American Soldier has always been about hope and security for the oppressed. This photo is no different. Great find Yunus. JD
Awesome, Thanks for sharing
Considering the fact that the BG's put the kids in FRONT of them, this pic says it all.
"Guns don't kill people. Male Kennedy's kill people."
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789) "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
There are no better examples of what America stands for than the Uninted States' military men and women! That picture SHOULD be on every newspaper front page in the world, but sad to say I bet that you don't see it anywhere.
Great photo!!

IIS just quit working - http 500 error
This is really bugging me. Last week everything was working alright but when I was gonna check something out yesterday on a site IIS just wouldnt work. I wont show any .asp-page and just having it for showing html was not the idea. The only thing that has changed is that i uninstalled msn and icq for gaim, another IM. The error I get for .asp-pages is http 500 but since I havent changed anything I dont know how to fix it?

Whether our engine is better or not is something to be judged by the people who use the engine, but I can say that Crysis 2 wouldn't have been possible with any other engine, but pretty much any other game that has been shipped with out competitors' engines could have been done with the Crytek engine.
You said previously that you expect the next graphical breakthrough to come in 2011/2012 and that it might coincide with new console hardware. Do you still believe we'll see new consoles that soon?
For some reason my gut feeling is still that we'll see a new generation in 2012, 2013. Factually spoken, it looks like I'm going be wrong, but my gut feeling is that there's going to be a new one because it's really getting old and tight in this space.
If there isn't going to be a new console generation in the next few years, where do you think the focus is going to be development-wise, and in which areas will the next jump come in?
I think it's going to be several. I believe it's going to be about interaction, animation, physics, but ultimately still about graphics as well. Gaming is interactive entertainment, so you always have the visual part of it, but it's mainly the interaction part of it. I think we're going to see more finely granular physics, more finely granular world animation and dynamicness.
That is what we're going to see in the way of user benefits, but technically I think we're going to pretty much convert even more towards what is done in film CG. The kind of pipelines and workflows are getting more complicated and I think we're reaching a degree that is close to film development.
Many publishers and developers have had trouble with the PC triple-A model and are dipping their toes in new areas. Do you think that's a fair assessment and is that what Crytek's attempting with Warface?
I would say so, yes. Warface is an exploration of a new business model and a new company model for that matter too. We're turning into an online service company as well and we want to see how far we can take that. The requirements of this kind of game are very different from a retail package and, analysing them, understanding them and working with partners who have a lot of experience in the area is the next goal for Crytek right now. We do want to make Warface become a major, successful IP for the company that delivers a new experience.
We're not approaching it like, "hey, let's make a copy of Call of Duty and make it free-to-play and call it Warface". That's definitely not the way we're approaching it. Rest assured there will be plenty of innovation in Warface and it will stand on its own legs as much as Crysis does.
You're targeting Warface at Asian markets. Is it a model you can roll out in the West? Is there a market in Europe for free-to-play shooters like Warface?
There's certainly a big market in Europe and the US. Whether we will or not hasn't been decided yet, but it would be stupid to say we haven't thought about it. But we just want to be successful with it in Asia first because the market there is used to this kind of competition already, it's saturated for this kind of business model. When we release Warface in Asia and are competitive in terms of business model and quality we will re-evaluate it for Europe or the US.
When will we hear more about Xbox 360 exclusive Codename Kingdoms?
I can't really talk about that at the moment, maybe at E3, maybe before, I don't know yet.

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 | 1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel. |
2 Older leaders, listen to this message. Listen to me, all you who live in the land. Nothing like this has ever happened during your lifetime or during your ancestors' lifetimes. | 2 Hear this, you elders; listen, all who live in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your forefathers? |
3 Tell your children about these things, let your children tell their children, and let your grandchildren tell their children. | 3 Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation. |
4 What the cutting locusts have left, the swarming locusts have eaten; what the swarming locusts have left, the hopping locusts have eaten, and what the hopping locusts have left, the destroying locustsn have eaten. | 4 What the locust swarm has left the great locusts have eaten; what the great locusts have left the young locusts have eaten; what the young locusts have left other locusts have eaten. |
5 Drunks, wake up and cry! All you people who drink wine, cry! Cry because your wine has been taken away from your mouths. | 5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine; wail because of the new wine, for it has been snatched from your lips. |
6 A powerful nation has come into my land with too many soldiers to count. It has teeth like a lion, jaws like a female lion. | 6 A nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number; it has the teeth of a lion, the fangs of a lioness. |
7 It has made my grapevine a waste and made my fig tree a stump. It has stripped all the bark off my trees and left the branches white. | 7 It has laid waste my vines and ruined my fig trees. It has stripped off their bark and thrown it away, leaving their branches white. |
8 Cry as a young woman cries when the man she was going to marry has died. | 8 Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth grieving for the husband of her youth. |
9 There will be no more grain or drink offerings to offer in the Temple of the Lord. Because of this, the priests, the servants of the Lord, are sad. | 9 Grain offerings and drink offerings are cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD. |
10 The fields are ruined; the ground is dried up. The grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, and the olive oil runs out. | 10 The fields are ruined, the ground is dried up; the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil fails. |
11 Be sad, farmers. Cry loudly, you who grow grapes. Cry for the wheat and the barley. Cry because the harvest of the field is lost. | 11 Despair, you farmers, wail, you vine growers; grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field is destroyed. |
12 The vines have become dry, and the fig trees are dried up. The pomegranate trees, the date palm trees, the apple trees -- all the trees in the field have died. And the happiness of the people has died, too. | 12 The vine is dried up and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree-- all the trees of the field--are dried up. Surely the joy of mankind is withered away. |
13 Priests, put on your rough cloth and cry to show your sadness. Servants of the altar, cry out loud. Servants of my God, keep your rough cloth on all night to show your sadness. Cry because there will be no more grain or drink offerings to offer in the Temple of your God. | 13 Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. |
14 Call for a day when no one eats food! Tell everyone to stop work! Bring the older leaders and everyone who lives in the land to the Temple of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord. | 14 Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. |
15 What a terrible day it will be! The Lord's day of judging is near, when punishment will come like a destroying attack from the Almighty. | 15 Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. |
16 Our food is taken away while we watch. Joy and happiness are gone from the Temple of our God. | 16 Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes-- joy and gladness from the house of our God? |
17 Though we planted fig seeds, they lie dry and dead in the dirt. The barns are empty and falling down. The storerooms for grain have been broken down, because the grain has dried up. | 17 The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up. |
18 The animals are groaning! The herds of cattle wander around confused, because they have no grass to eat; even the flocks of sheep suffer. | 18 How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering. |
19 Lord, I am calling to you for help, because fire has burned up the open pastures, and flames have burned all the trees in the field. | 19 To you, O LORD, I call, for fire has devoured the open pastures and flames have burned up all the trees of the field. |
20 Wild animals also need your help. The streams of water have dried up, and fire has burned up the open pastures. | 20 Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the open pastures. |

As global leaders converge in Davos to evaluate how best to solve some of the world's greatest challenges, I can't help but reflect on my 10-year career at leading global corporations, and my impact on those same challenges (or lack thereof).
I can hardly believe I am writing this, but our months of work became so very worthwhile when our first successfully trained bee stuck out her tongue.
Catching me in a weak moment during the first few days of our trip, my friend and co-founder Morgan, who spent last year working in Bangalore, sought to console me, saying, "Mother India always provides when you need it most."
Hold on -- does that mean I'm claiming that candy could save your life? The answer is yes. But not just any candy: a sugar-free chewing gum designed specifically to fight cavities.
If one jar of honey can help one slum-dweller suffering from diabetes, what else can one jar of honey do?
Often referred to as a "disease of the wealthy," diabetes is anything but, with the majority of diabetics living in low- and middle-income communities where the disease is rarely detected until it has progressed to late stages.
We expect our proposal to be sliced up and rearranged, looking very different to what it is now by the time we present our final business plan in September to Bill Clinton and Muhammad Yunus. Exciting times await us!
I arrived at a limb-saving solution ... a solution to replace multi-thousand dollar, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) devices with a multi-dollar, simplified negative pressure wound therapy (sNPWT) device, called the Wound-Pump.
How do you make drugs work on people who don't take them? That was part of the puzzle my team members and I were trying to solve as part of this year's Hult Prize Competition, the largest student competition in the world.
Exactly one year ago, I stood frozen cold inside the warm amphitheater of the Boston Museum of Science.
When you think of business school students, what do you think of? Do you view them as the next generation of managers, armed with a Millennial mindset and a solid grounding in business principles? Or do you see them as socially-minded young people (more so than previous generations) searching for greater meaning in their careers? How about both?
Thankfully, the final leg of our Hult Prize journey concludes tonight. In front of 1,000 of the world's top entrepreneurs, leaders and development experts, we will be unveiling our concept and having them prod and poke our brainchild in public.
Last year, President Clinton issued a challenge to university students around the world to create a social enterprise that will address food insecurity in very poor urban areas, which are often marginalized and left out of progress. More than 10,000 students from more than 150 countries answered this call-to-action.
Today are the four of us and our business plan. We have brainstormed over this dream of ours for months now, and the more we learnt about the business we were entering, the more we understood the value of our role in it.
Living in the slum neighborhood for 26 years, our team understands the problem confronted by our fellow brothers, and we have a solution
Patient ambition means that you do not wait for success to come to you, nor do you expect success to manifest by patiently waiting. It requires ambition to create opportunities, persistence to achieve breakthroughs, and a relentless pursuit of experts and talent.

In the 12th century, Henry II uttered the now very familiar phrase, "Who Will Rid Me Of This Turbulent Priest"? A number of knights decided to accommodate the King and murdered Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. Henry was supposed to have been aghast and naturally denied that he had meant the phrase to be taken literally and did public penance after the murder to atone for his perceived sins.
Now in the early 21st century, Sarah Palin asks voters to "target" candidates she objects to. One man in Tucson takes here literally and tries to murder one of the targeted candidates named by Palin. Palin, of course, now says she was never meant to be taken literally and then - rather than apologize for her provocative rhetoric - lashes out at those who quite naturally now criticize her for her highly inflammatory earlier words.
History has never really forgiven Henry II. One can only hope that history - and American voters - treat Sarah Palin with the same contempt.
The sad state of polarizing affairs in the United States was definitely a factor behind this attempted murder. The Economist couldn't have put it better though. Instead of seeking political gain and being opportunistic, the right and left need to stop quarreling because that's only going to inflame the situation. Obama is just as responsible as Palin.
Crazies like the Tucson shooter exist in most places, but nowhere do they have such easy access to guns as in America.
And that is crux of the problem that's manifested in the tragic turn of events in this wonderful Arizona city.
Guns are tools that perform an essential function of enabling citizen self defense...the police will almost never be where you need them when you need them if you or your home are threatened. Like automobiles, the improper or careless use of guns cause innocent deaths - in the case of automobiles no one suggests we ban them to prevent these deaths. In the US over the past 10 years, local ordinances banning or making effectively impossible the concealed carry of handguns hav been eliminated and concealed carry permit holder numbers have greatly increased. In each jurisdiction this transition has been accompanied by reductions in both violent crime rates and handgun death rates. Criminals are reluctant to confront citizens who may be armed. Hold the individual perpetrator responsible for the crime, do everything possible to keep weapons out of the hands of the deranged without interfering with the law-abiding citizen, but do not make the mistake of removing a necessary tool to prevent its misuse!
Surely at the begining of the 21st century it has to be both and pick your percentage to the appropriate contribution or correlation.
The attack ads started from the right in the UK - US - Canada in my experience from the begiining of the 90's and just seem to have got more exreme year by year with the left having to catch up - which I am not sure is a good thing either.
I feel we just have to accept - very sadly from the early post war period when America was an outstanding nation in all respects - that at the begining of this century, America has become one of the sickest economic, financial, political and social societies in the global political economy - and if we can - just let them be and hopefully quietly rot away.
What University or college wants to lose a consistent-attendence student and the fees he/she generates for the University/College over a 1/2 decade-long period because this student becomes mentally ill or experiences a worsening of an already existing mental illness??
An out of work, not-in-school unstable and decompensating mentally ill person is more costly to taxpayers than a stabilized person- who's major mental illness symptoms have been minimized/ eliminated- that is in work, some form of educational or rehabilitation programme.
Colleges and Universities that are run well have diversity and anti-discrimination programmes funded out of general annual operating revenues...
If Faculty can be directly- and students indirectly- told to not practise (and keep a look out for) discrimination against gays, the transgendered, women, people of colour, persons practicing religions other than Christianity, etc- then the mechanisms and bureaucratic structures that created the policies used to facilitate this type of anti-discrimination programme can also be used- at minimal or nil additional costs-
to develop and put in place policies and procedures-to-be-used-by-Faculty when encountering persons who are apparently suffering from major mental illnesses...
For a Faculty member at a particular University/college to pick up a telephone and call, or e-mail, the local community's mental health centre or general hospital psychiatric department that the respective University/college has established a formalized relationship with- and as part of the telephone call or e-mail request their involvement and consultations about an apparently severely mentally ill, disruptive student would cost next to nothing
The majority of costs for the above process would be borne by the mental health centre/general hospital psychiatric department that eventually assigned its resources to evaluate and assist the mentally ill person and work with the University/college bolstering their efforts to productively deal with a problem student...
Such costs could be paid for with funds legislated for that purpose....

The accused is obviously suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
What will be the scale of the resources expended by America on this "case", which seems well on track to be a classic American show trial and associated media frenzy? Certainly tens of millions of dollars. Maybe hundreds if one includes the value of the media resources pulled into the swirl.
Will America twist the rule of law, so as to apply the highest possible punishment of a person who obviously needs to be locked in a rubber room and maintained on medication?
Is it America's policy that it is fine to go for the death penalty of severe schizophrenics if they attack and kill a member of government?
Will America deem his acts a violation of whatever "terrorism" laws it may have on its books by now?
The simple, observable fact about this individual is that he is severely mentally ill, period. He schizophrenia clearly emerged at exactly when it typically emerges in males -- late teenage years to early twenties. The "mind control" comments by him are typical responses of people suffering from this disease to the fact that they begin to experience auditory and/or visual hallucinations, and can't figure out why this is happening or "who is doing it to them".
America and its media are looking like so many uneducated people by making such a feeding frenzy about this sick individual.
Really America.
Look at all the people you have living under your bridges and in parks and in doorways in your cities. Look at all the people you have sleeping over grates for warmth in the winter in your largest, wealthiest cities. Look at yourselves America.
This was caused by your failure to demand care for a group of your own citizens who are suffering some of the worst "torture" one can suffer -- the loss of one's faculties when in one's prime years.
And what are so many of you all to willing to do? Blame the victim of mental illness. Blame media. Blame your constitution.
How about this: blame yourselves. You've all seen individuals living outdoors in your country, and you know these individuals are not well. And what have any of you done about it?
One imagines that most of you have done nothing except complain about such unsightly individuals ever being in your proximity. Correct?
I think so.
Who is going to demand a formal inquiry into the causes of the Arizona shootings??
Possible bodies that could conduct such an inquiry:
1) a judge;
2) Committee of Congress;
3) A State Ombudsman;
4) A Committee of the Arizona State legislature....

Fascinating article...and even more fascinating comments by readers that so admirably caricature the polarization and division that characterize public discourse about guns and gun control in America these days...
I have a sneaking suspicion that the issues raised by this unfortunate incident would be much more constructively addressed if we shifted our focus from the false dichotomy created by the angry rhetoric of the left-right divide and the associated blame game...
Nobody doubts that guns, in themselves, don't kill people. Neither, as a rule, do responsible members of society.
The opportunity, as I see it, is to work together to figure out how to ensure that those who have no business holding guns (for example: the mentally unstable, the criminal, the terrorist wannabe, etc) never get their hands on such weapons. Are we up to the challenge?
Feline Birch
There is an additional point worth exploring if we are looking at perceptions of America in other countries. Interestingly these numbers were much better in the 90s and have improved since 2008. It appears that it was the Bush Admin and not America in General that people came to dislike. As an American perhaps you can tell me if this is the same reason why the Government is disliked domestically? I'd also point out that at least in Canada we actually do still have a majority of people with an overall positive view of America. I'd also point out that in Canada (and in my experience other countries as well) the reduced opinion of America comes mainly from the view that America is going through a right wing reactionary phase that frankly looks crazy to those of us in other countries and has moved away from the values and global leadership we came to respect so much. Not gonna argue about whether this view is actually accurate. Just saying that view is very widespread even among those of us who believe America is a positive force in the world.
"Opportunists who seek to gain political advantage by blaming the shootings on words would do America better service if they focused on bullets."
They would do a better service if they focused on the problem at hand: how to improve on dealing with mentally ill people before they make use of a knife, bomb, car, gun etc.
"Around 30,000 people a year are killed by one of the almost 300m guns in America—almost one for every citizen. Those deaths are not just murders and suicides: some are accidents, often involving children."
As guns have become more pervasive, the number of killings has been falling year after year. More children die in bathtubs, swimming pools or car accidents then from gun accidents, yet nobody uses that argument to ban bathtubs, swimming pools or cars.
The medical treatment available for mentally ill people in Arizona are almost non-existent. You don't solve that problem by banning the Glock semi-automatic.
I think this is incident is a perfect example of why gun laws should be changed, for the reasons stated above, and for another, perhaps more salient fact.
A man, in Arizona (some of the most lax gun laws in the country) shot 20 people, killed 6 and was TACKLED to the ground,despite an armed police presence and the presence of citizens armed with side arms. Nobody saved anyones life by shooting the perpetrator, the only one shooting was the crazy guy... so much for needing guns to protect yourself... it all changes when you actually have to do it.
Anyone who thinks politics in the USA has gotten nastier has never studied American history!! This stuff is so very mild contrasted with 19th century campaigns that it is laughable, yet somehow we survived without a revolution. What we have is a class of people that think any expression of opinion that differs from theirs is "hate" speech. We should not allow ourselves to be denied the right (and obligation) to express indignation at whatever actions our leaders take, if we feel it very wrong. Sane people do not react with violence even when the speech is strong; insane people should not be allowed to dictate our discourse.
Hunterbear: If this man wanted to get a semi-automatic gun, he'd get it. He'd just go on the black market and buy it.
I imagine it's more difficult than you think to get hold of a gun on the black market. Especially if you're a mentally unstable loner. If you walked into a bar and started asking people where you could get a gun, you'd probably end up being grassed up to the cops. Even if you did meet someone who agreed to sell you a gun, you would most likely be robbed or ripped off with something that didn't work. If firearms were illegal you'd also find it harder to practice and become proficient with your new weapon.
Also, it's surprisingly hard to make homemade explosives. Look at the number of botched terrorist attacks in the US/UK. You run a high risk of premature detonation both during manufacture and when handling the finished product. Legally sold firearms on the other hand can be obtained with a lifetime guarantee.
The Shame Game
This event isn't a blame game; it's a "shame game:" shaming the public into submission. The event is a patently obvious institutional arrangement (this is a separate issue from the human tragedy).
Now the US president is calling for "civility." But that isn't his or his owner's objective or the real message. Nor is he addressing violence; he's reaching instead for more psychological compliance and less ideological confrontation; more social conformity and less political rebellion; more passivity and less aggression; more surrender and less independence.
Dissent is his enemy. Tragedy is his ally; pretext, his agency.
What can't be earned through authentic leadership, he will attempt to expropriate through manipulation. What he is unable to provide through example will be feigned as an illusion. He believes--and his party and owners believe--that there is now pretext for centralised response and control: 300 million people is a big crowd, and they have to be subdued.
More polite politics? No. Exactly wrong. More dissent, more accountability, more actual democracy, rather than the artificial construct that the public sleeps in.
More sensible gun laws? Perhaps.
But first must come resolution to the primary social disturbance: the US government has been hijacked. There are no longer Branches of government; there are now only roots.
And they lead to a place far away from home.

Page 54: "Principles of good practice in student mental health
- "Given that students are most likely to seek help from those with whom they have most frequent contact, all HEI staff need to take some responsibility for student mental health.
"There is a need for training to raise general levels of mental health awareness among staff and students, so they can recognise signs of psychological disturbance and know when and where to refer for specialist help."
Page 54/55 Recommendations:
- "The establishment of community mental health teams (CMHTs) with special remit for those aged 16–25 years, staffed with particular responsibility for developing an understanding of student issues; or appointment of staff to generic CMHTs who have knowledge and expertise in relation to the mental health needs of students.
- "An expansion of in-patient units for young people, and an extension of the upper age limit for adolescent units, so that students have access to appropriate in-patient facilities when these are required.

Some commenters here say that since this crazy lunatic was determined to kill he would have found a way to purchase the guns illegally and do it anyway.
That is not necessarily true. Months ago an equally crazy lunatic who wanted to hurt Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi didn't manage to illegally purchase a gun so easily and resorted to use a souvenir replica of a cathedral. If you really have tough gun laws, it becomes difficult to find illegal ones as well.
The Hawaii situation is telling in this regard. The State of Hawaii has very strict gun laws, some of the strictest in the country. Gun ownership is therefore very low. Since Hawaii has the advantage that you can't easily purchase a gun in another state and take it to Hawaii because of airline restrictions, you can easily detect the effect of their policy. In 2010 Honolulu County (Pop. nearly 1 Million) had only 18 homicides, a rate that compares well with some of the safest European cities. Statewide the number of homicides is generally between 20 and 25 annually. In 2005 (last year I have available data) only 2 out of 24 homicides in Hawaii were committed with a gun, the rest were committed by knife (8) and other means, including automobile. Nearly half of them were family domestic violence incidents. Compare these figures with Arizona, where the murder rate is 4 or 5 times the one in Hawaii, with over 3/4 of them committed by firearm.
Gun possession is not the only reason for violent crime. There is also a positive correlation between poverty and murder. Nevertheless America would do well to follow Hawaii's example.
We should all expect by now that media will often point out leftist faults whenever a righty fault comes out and vice versa. This is almost always done in the interest of being "fair and balanced". However, it seems every publication does a disservice to its readers by not pointing out one very important difference between the language and ideas emanating from the Left and Right: that the situation is often not balanced. instances of right wing "vitriol" far outnumber left wing violence in terms of number and intensity. the arguments of the right lend themselves too easily to emotional responses as a funtion of their being attached to notions of good and evil and dogmatic notions of moral rights and wrongs which permeate every topic they discuss. listen for it, give it a moment's thought.
You are right about lax gun laws. Don't know why GOP refuses to see it, or appears not to, with remarkable discipline. We have a huge overpowering gun lobby(The NRA) in this country and those of is who oppose it
are just at a loss to know what to do.
After reading through all of this I can only wonder how many hyperventilating histrionics there can possibly be in this world?
A lunatic killed people. Not a good thing in the least. It happens frequently, alas, in a lot of places every day and has since time immemorial.
That the lunatic used a gun to murder is as immaterial to the event as fully as political dialogue was utterly irrelevant toward provoking it.
The manipulative and sanctimonious pageantry endured on the public by the political class last night ultimately supposes that the life of an individual attached to the State is somehow more valuable than that of a 'commoner'. This, to me anyway, as disturbing as the event itself.
That the recently repudiated political interests in the US immediately, and I mean immediately, sought to exploit the murder of innocents to curry advantage to their agenda by asserting so many tendentious premises is simply macabre, and likewise very much not a good thing. That faction should be repudiated on this basis alone. It's arguably plenty enough.
How many of the preening politicians standing there last night, irrespective of nominal political leanings, have approved the expenditure (squandering?) of trillions upon trillions of dollars to sanction the murder of innocents under the euphemism of "collateral damage" in far-flung lands prosecuting war on spurious grounds?
See the Wikileaks helicopter attack video to see what they're buying into on your dime. How is this sort of mass murder any different than tragic Tucson? Resolve that situation and managing to evolve the civil society becomes a lot more tenable;
For saying this I'll probably now get the third-degree by the thought police the next time I have the odd fortune of going through an immigration line entering the USSA.

Edge Salon & Spa
Now under new management, Edge Salon & Spa's stylists understand their clients' beauty needs and tend to them with exceptional hair services and spa treatments. As clients enter Edge's chic space—complete with modern white furniture, lime-green accent walls, and pearl-and-crystal-draped chandeliers—a team of seasoned beauticians greet them with a complimentary glass of wine from the onsite wine bar. Aestheticians then get to work exfoliating and moisturizing complexions with custom facials as patrons relax in cube-like leather chairs. Massage therapists use hot-stone and aromatherapy techniques to soothe aches and knots in private treatment rooms. On the salon floor, the stylists showcase their hair knowledge—which helped earn them a spot on CBS DC's list of Best Places for Men's Haircuts—as they cut, color, and style locks with Goldwell, Moroccanoil, and Paul Mitchell haircare products.
The entire staff was friendly - I was greeted by the receptionist and offered a beverage upon arrival. The salon is sleek, clean and relaxing
