real estate boom
Chandigarh, July 11 A senior official of the Haryana Town and Country Planning said initially the money was being pumped into Haryana through non-resident Indians (NRI) in the form of investment, but of late several dubious companies and non-Haryanvis are purchasing land in the State at exorbitant rates. Citing an example of the price rise, a property dealer said earlier only the NCR Region was witnessing a boom in real estate prices. But during the recent past, even small towns and district headquarters throughout the State have seen an unprecedented price rise. Yamunanagar recently saw a two acre land being registered for Rs 26 crore (Rs 13 crore per acre). Senior Indian National Lok Dal
(INLD) leader, Prof Sampat Singh said accusing the government of turning a blind eye to the issue said it is all in connivance with the officials. Ultimately this will lead to rise in crime. When mafia develops interest in the state, their activities will be seen escalating. A senior ruling party politician, however, dismissed these allegations saying Haryana is a very prosperous province; the Chief Minister has during his various visits abroad highlighted the potential of growth of the State as a result of which several NRI are investing in the State. Many people believe that the real estate hike was due to the large number of proposals for Special Economic Zones (SEZ) Haryana has received. The Centre has already cleared about 35 out of the 49 proposals. But intelligence agencies are wondering how the price of property has boomed in places far away from the SEZ. Not willing to disclose much, the officer, however, hinted that the scrutiny was on to see any linkage of the real estate investments in the state with Nepali Maoists, who have been using Haryana as a safe haven and for other underworld presence in the region.real estate boom.
Custody row ends in scribe, sons death
Yamunanagar, July 11 Rishu and her husband Janak Raj Bawa had not been on good terms for the past more than a year. However, the immediate cause behind the attack was a row over the custody of their six-month-old baby Krishna, said police sources. The two were married about a year and half ago. Raj Kumar Bawa (53), a reporter of a Hindi daily and his son Jitendra (23) died on the spot. The incident took place around midnight yesterday at the Geeta colony residence of the Bawa family. Sarbjeet Bawa, who owns an evening daily (brother of Raj Kumar) sustained injuries and was fighting for life at a private hospital here. Janak Raj (son of Raj Kumar Bawa), his grandmother Bimla Rani and Narinder Bawa (wife of Sarbjeet Bawa) also sustained serious injuries and were admitted to a private hospital. The Bawa family was having dinner at their residence when the attack took place. Rishu who for the past many days was living at her parents house in the bank colony here reached the house at around 11.30 pm. She entered into an altercation with her husband Janak Raj and other members. After sometime she started to leave the house along with her six-month-old baby Krishna. Janak did not let Rishu take the baby away and tried to snatch the baby from her. At this point Rishu made a telephone call to her parents house. In no time family members of Rishu reached the Bawas residence in a car and attacked the Bawa family, informed police sources. Sarbjeet Bawa in an effort to save his life scaled a wall of the house but the attackers chased and injured him with swords. Sources said it appeared that the attack was pre-planned as Rishus family members reached Bawas residence in no time after getting a telephone call from her. On the complaint of Janak Raj the police registered a case under Sections 148, 149, 323, 324, 450, 302 and 506 against Rishu, her father Yaspal, mother Praveen, brothers Deepak, Gagan and Dimple. No arrests were made till the time of filing this report. Cremation of the two deceased was held today. SP Ramna said that two special teams had been formed to arrest the culprits. DC Yadav announced a relief of Rs 50,000 to the family besides free medical treatment of the injured. |
INLD charges against Congress baseless: HPCC
Jhajjar, July 11 Addressing a press conference in the town today, the spokesperson for the HPCC, Ved Prakash Vidrohi, said: The charges of the INLD leader that Sonia Gandhi has chosen Pratibha Patil to dismiss the present incumbent and then get herself installed as the PM following her ascendancy indicates that how low he has stooped in politics. The Congress leader said such irresponsible statements showed that Chautala had no regard for democratic values and ideals of politics. Vidrohi stated that it was during the previous regime that the job aspirants had to grease the palms of the powers.
Palace on Wheels to touch Pinjore
Hisar, July 11 The minister said new tourism complexes would come up at several places in Haryana and the existing tourism complexes would undergo a major makeover with new facilities and better food. A Palace on Wheels train will ply from Delhi to Pinjore via Panipat and Kurukshetra on the same lines as it was operating in Rajasthan. It was expected to become a major tourist attraction both for foreign and domestic tourists. The minister said the new tourism policy which was on the anvil aimed at increasing state revenue through tourism in a big way. New complexes and expansion of existing infrastructure would generate employment. Chaudhary who also holds the forest portfolio said Van Mahotsav would be celebrated all over Haryana from July 15 onwards. During the period thousands of saplings would be planted. Expressing concern over global warming due to environmental pollution she said planting sapling was the solution to the problem. She said she had directed that in case trees had to be cut down for widening roads or urbanisation activities, saplings twice the number of trees cut down should be immediately planted there. The minister visited Nalwa village to participate in a meeting organised there to pay homage to late Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar. She described the former prime minister as a saint politician and recalled that he was a classmate of her late father-in-law Bansi Lal. |
Residents lock up power office
Yamunanagar, July 11 The irate villagers staged a dharna outside the office and raised slogans. Gulshan Sahni of Salempur village complained that there was no supply in the area for the past four days resulting in crop damage. The villagers threatened to step up their agitation if the supply was not corrected within two days. |
Sikhs assemble at Ratia
Fatehabad, July 11 Some hardliner Sikh leaders led by Sukhwinder Singh of the Shri Guru Granth Satkaar Sabha addressed a gathering, which had predominantly arrived from the neighbouring villages of the district and Mansa district of Punjab, which is very close to Ratia town. Though a sizeable number of Sikhs continued pouring in at the gurdwara till afternoon today, there was no organized rally as such and people came and left after taking 'langar'. Those who addressed the gathering besides Sukhwinder Singh included Baba Beant Singh of Sirsa, Baba Charat Singh, Taruna Dal, Jathedar Balwinder Singh, Ek Noor Khalsa Dal, and Principal Jasbir Kaur. Most of the speakers said that the sentiments of the Sikhs had been hurt by the postponement of the conclave and exhorted people to express convey their collective feelings to Akal Takht. The speakers alleged that some 'traitors' of the Sikh community had conveyed wrong message to Akal Takht that Ratia conclave could lead to bloodshed while the Sikhswere organising this convention for peaceful expression of their sentiments. |
Naam charcha: Govt prohibits dera followers
Chandigarh, July 11 Chief secretary Prem Prashant said here today that in case anyone had to do nam charcha, it might be done at ones home. The decision had been taken to maintain peace in the area. He said the tense situation had been defused after the proposed Sikh rally, which was scheduled for today, was deferred by the Akal Takht Jathedar. The deputy commissioner of Fatehabad informed the chief secretary that some people had visited the gurdwara at Ratia, but returned after paying obeisance and that situation was normal. Prem Prashant made it clear that no instructions had been issued to prevent the people from visiting the gurdwara at Ratia. The state government was in touch with its Punjab counterpart and the Chief Ministers of both the states too had been discussing the issue with each other, he added. Referring to the on-going hunger strike by some of the followers of the dera, the chief secretary said none of their demands related to Haryana but they concerned Punjab. However, doctors of Haryana were examining medically those on hunger strike and in case of worsening of anyones condition, they were being shifted to hospital. |
Govt to observe Save electricity year
Chandigarh, July 11 Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has written a letter to all MPs, MLAs, presidents of zila parishads and panchayat samitis drawing their attention towards the need to motivate the general public for conserving electricity, timely payment of bills and not to indulge in theft of electricity, which was a social evil. He said adequate power supply to the consumers was not the only solution for the problems relating to the power sector. The power utilities incurred a loss of 43.5 per cent during 2005-06, which included 4.7 per cent transmission losses, 29.5 per cent distribution losses and 9.5 per cent revenue collection losses. It had become necessary to control the situation to avoid further loss. The power utilities had been suffering a loss of about Rs 1 per unit of electricity supplied to the consumers. By bringing down the present AT&C losses by 1 per cent, Rs 80 to Rs 90 crore could be saved. The utilities had initiated many schemes to minimise the losses. These included segregation of tubewell and domestic load of the rural feeders, rehabilitation of overloaded feeders, installation of meters on distribution transformers for energy audit and erection of the high voltage distribution system. Hooda said the government planned to spend Rs 20,000 crore on power generation and Rs 10,000 crore on strengthening the transmission and distribution systems during the 11th plan period. The state had initiated measures to increase generation capacity by 5,000 MW during the next three years. Besides, long-term power purchase agreements had been made. The state had purchased power on rates up to Rs 7.25 per unit to supply adequate power to the consumers. Referring to the electricity bills waiver scheme of Rs 1,600 crore for domestic and tubewell consumers of the rural areas, he said more than 9 lakh consumers had started paying their current bills. The consumers who did not opt for the scheme nor were paying their current bills would face disconnection. |
BSNL officers, employees observe strike
Kaithal, July
11 Circle secretary, AIBSNLEA, Jogi Ram said they went on strike to protest against the inordinate delay in procuring 60 million GSM lines.
He said even after one of the bidders, Motorola, had withdrawn the court case and the BSNL board had approved the report of the Committee for Evaluation of Tenders (CET), the procurement process had not been
expedited. To fight against this attitude of the government and the BSNL management, joint forum of 13 unions of BSNL took a decision to proceed with the strike, he
added. Meanwhile, BSNL services, including customer service and cash collection, were affected due to the
Safai karamcharis demonstrate
Ambala, July 11 The protesters raised slogans against the sanitation contractor. They demanded the release of payment on time.

He stated that Red Cross would bear the cost of medical expenses of the accident victims.The maxi cab was reportedly driven at high speed.The passengers were extricated with much difficulty.The seriously injured were rushed to Government Hospital, Naraingarh, from where 15 passengers were referred to the PGI, Chandigarh. Four of those referred to the PGI died on the way. four of the deceased have been identified as Rajesh Jain, Om Wati, Ashu and Raghubir Singh.

Monster Tissue and Wipes Box Covers
I've told Mr. Danger since the day we met that if I start knitting tea cozies, that's it, I've gone over the edge and lost my marbles. So when I started on tissue and wipes box covers, I was a little afraid of what he might do. He was skeptical, but once he saw the finished result, he admitted he loves the dressed-up necessities in our kiddo's room! You have to have wipes, but who says they have to look boring?

Wenzhou shows way with financial reforms
Daniel Ren in Shanghai email@example.com
Beijing said yesterday it would legalise Wenzhou's controversial underground banking sector and allow the city's residents to make direct investments abroad.
The two decisions represent significant steps in liberalising banking and investment on the mainland, observers said. Hong Kong could benefit from the investment scheme since the city is often the first choice of mainlanders who want to take money abroad.
At a work conference chaired by Premier Wen Jiabao yesterday, the State Council granted Wenzhou - plagued by a series of scandals involving illegal private lending last year - the status of a 'special financial zone', according to Xinhua.
This effectively launches a long-expected reform of the Zhejiang city's financial sector.
The decision comes as Wu Ying, a businesswoman sentenced to death for 'raising funds with intention to defraud', awaits a review of her sentence by the nation's Supreme Court. Her case has drawn unprecedented calls for mercy.
Wenzhou will have to formulate rules to regulate the formerly illegal private fund-raising operations.
Many observers credit the underground banks with helping cash-strapped small businesses thrive in the city, long known for the vibrancy of its privately owned enterprises.
'The policies in the making will by all means have far-reaching significance, since it is a clear sign that the central government has decided to push forward with the plan to legalise private banks,' said Chen Jiali, chief of the Wenzhou division of the Zheshang Research Association.
Xinhua also confirmed a Post report yesterday that Wenzhou residents would be given direct access to foreign properties and production facilities, at a time when affluence is rising on the mainland.

I found the exact same thing at Typhoon Lagoon in WDW in May. It was on the path/steps up to a water slide, so people had to jump over it to get to the slide. I made sure to tell a CM when I got to the top!
I found the exact same thing at Typhoon Lagoon in WDW in May. It was on the path/steps up to a water slide, so people had to jump over it to get to the slide. I made sure to tell a CM when I got to the top!
Human poop...oh those poor janitors.
Not surprised in the least. I've read stories from CMs on another site that they've actually witnessed adults who have deliberately "taken a Winnie" at various places throughout the park, one of which was even on a bench. From the interactions with the CMs trying to stop the act, it appears that it's usually foreigners. (Not saying that to generalize any race/nationality/etc., but that it may just be a cultural difference.)
That story goes right up there with my getting my leg peed on by a 5 year old who's mother said "just pee right here" in spanish. We were standing in the May 5th, 2005 crowd...
Some people are just disgusting and gross. But benefit of the doubt...maybe it was a dog's or cat's.
Once, when I worked the "Trail", I was notified of a code "H". I had seen an assistance pet in the Trail and assumed it came from the dog, I called Custodial, then went to guard it so nobody stepped in it and smeared it around... it was huge, "had to be the dog" I thought, but a guest came up to me and said she witnessed a toddler drop her pants and squat in the walk way. It took Custodial about 10 minutes to get there.
You'd be surprised what people will do in the parks. Next time at TOT, ask about the guest who masterbated a dark corner of the library when it was full of guests!
question, did she tell a CM it was there so it could be cleaned up? so many people see things, but do not tell the CMs so it can be fixed, cleaned or discarded. I hope so, this was totally gross.
I was walking around Tomorrowland and saw this thing that said Innoventions on it, so I was like 'COOL! INNOVATIVE INVENTIONS! I LIKE THAT!"
But upon closer inspection it was actually more like what your daughter found in Brother Bear Country.
So I was kind of disappointed, but I didn't go tell a CM 'cause I figured they'd already heard about it. I mean this thing was HUGE! You couldn't have missed it if you wanted to.
So nasty
I saw the exact same thing in one of the stores at DCA, it was the one nesr the exit of GGR. Had to call a Cast Member over and make sure she did NOT think it was ANYTHING to do with me. They emptied the shop and started the clean up. I can only think it was a child, but it was not a small amount!
"I'm surrounded by idiots"
As an aside, anyone notice what's popping up in the 'Similar Threads' feature below at the bottom of these pages?
'Country Bears VS. Pooh. Who Would YOU Rather Have In Bear/Critter Country?'
Sounds like SOMEONE gave their vote...
Mr. Dark
Writer, Disney geek, madman.
But, seriously, when I drove Stage Coach over at Knotts. we would have problems with parents just yanking the kid's pants down in the que and telling them to pee, squat, poop, whatever right there. AND the bathrooms were maybe 20 feet away. It was disgusting. (Good thing was, if we or a guest could ID the parent/culpret..then they got a one-way escort out of the Farm.
I worked at a waterpark as a lifeguard( not a disney park) and whenever we found poop in the lazy river,slides etc it was called a code brown trout.I was never lucky enough to find a floater myself.

Universal Background Checks & the Private Sale Loophole Policy Summary
Posted on August 21, 2013
The most dangerous gap in federal firearms laws today is the "private sale" loophole. Although federal law requires licensed firearms dealers to perform background checks on prospective purchasers and maintain records of all gun sales, it does not require unlicensed "private" sellers to do so. An estimated 40% of all firearms sold in the U.S. are transferred by unlicensed sellers.1
According the U.S. Department of Justice, because federal law does not require universal background checks, "individuals prohibited by law from possessing guns can easily obtain them from private sellers and do so without any federal records of the transactions."2 "The private-party gun market," one study observed, "has long been recognized as a leading source of guns used in crimes."3 Although the private sale loophole is frequently referred to as the "gun show" loophole (because of the particular problems associated with gun shows), it applies to all private firearm sales, regardless of where they occur.4
The growth of the Internet has significantly increased the ability of individuals prohibited from possessing firearms to find sellers willing to transfer firearms to them without background checks.
- As of September 2013, about 67,000 firearms were listed for sale online from private, unlicensed sellers.5
- 29% of ads by private sellers on Armslist.com (a popular website for firearm sales) were posted by high-volume private sellers who posted five or more ads over an eight-week period.6
- According to an undercover investigation conducted by the City of New York, 62% of private online firearm sellers agreed to sell a firearm to a buyer even after the buyer had told the seller that he or she probably could not pass a background check.7
When private sellers don't run background checks, people known to be dangerous can easily obtain guns, often with deadly consequences. For example, in 2012, a gunman killed three people, including his wife, and injured four others at a spa in Wisconsin, after buying a gun through a private seller he found online. The shooter was prohibited from purchasing guns due to a restraining order his wife had acquired against him, but was able to buy the gun anyway because the seller was not required to run a background check.8
In a 2007 report, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) stated that, because individuals who fail a background check can easily access firearms through private sales, "guns are far too easily acquired by prohibited possessors, and too often end up being used in gun crime and gun violence."9 The IACP concluded that "Congress, as well as state, local and tribal governments, should enact laws requiring that all gun sales and transfers proceed through" a federally licensed dealer.10
Private sales represent a significant conduit for illegal gun trafficking.
- The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) found that during one 29-month period, unlicensed sellers were involved in about one-fifth of illegal trafficking investigations nationwide and associated with nearly 23,000 trafficked guns.11
- A study which used crime gun trace data from 53 U.S. cities for the years 2000–2002 found that laws regulating private handgun sales are strongly associated with fewer trafficked guns.12
- A 2009 GAO report found that "secondary firearms — firearms resold following the first retail purchase from an FFL, or 'used guns' — are commonly trafficked to Mexico."13
- Another report observed that the lack of background check and record retention requirements for private gun transfers "continue to make it much easier for prohibited persons to purchase firearms and much harder for U.S. authorities to successfully trace how a firearm illegally reached Mexico."14
Gun offenders overwhelmingly obtain their guns through private sales. A survey of state prison inmates in 13 states who were convicted of gun offenses found that only 13.4% obtained the gun from a gun store or pawnshop, where background checks are required.15 Nearly all (96.1%) of those inmates who were already prohibited from possessing a gun at the time of the crime obtained the firearm through an unlicensed private seller.16
When background checks are required, they are extremely effective at keeping guns out of the hands of prohibited persons. Since the federal background check requirement was adopted in 1994, over two million prohibited persons have been denied a firearm transfer or permit.17 In 2010 alone, more than 117,000 gun transfers were denied using the federal background check system.18
Repeated polls have shown that over 90% of the American public supports laws requiring background checks on all gun purchasers, regardless of whether they buy weapons from licensed dealers or private sellers.19 A survey conducted for the New England Journal of Medicine in January 2013 found that 84% of gun owners and 74% of NRA members also support requiring a universal background check system for all gun sales.20
As described below, the strongest laws require a background check at the point of sale for every gun transfer. Some additional states only require a background check when a gun is sold at a gun show, or require gun purchasers to obtain a license before purchasing a gun and issue the license only after a background check. For additional information in support of these laws, see our summaries on Gun Shows and Licensing Gun Owners & Purchasers.
Federal law imposes various duties on federally licensed firearms dealers. Firearms dealers must, among other things: (1) perform background checks on prospective firearm purchasers; (2) maintain records of all gun sales; (3) make those records available to law enforcement for inspection; (4) report certain multiple sales; and (5) report the theft or loss of a firearm from the licensee's inventory.21 Federal law imposes none of these requirements on unlicensed sellers, however.
The Gun Control Act of 1968 provides that persons "engaged in the business" of dealing in firearms must be licensed.22 Although Congress did not originally define the term "engaged in the business," it did so in 1986 as part of the McClure-Volkmer Act (also known as the "Firearms Owners' Protection Act"). That Act defined the term "engaged in the business," as applied to a firearms dealer, as "a person who devotes time, attention, and labor to dealing in firearms as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of livelihood and profit through the repetitive purchase and resale of firearms."23
Significantly, however, the term was defined to exclude a person who "makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby, or who sells all or part of his personal collection of firearms."24 According to a 1999 report issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the current definition of "engaged in the business" often frustrates the prosecution of "unlicensed dealers masquerading as collectors or hobbyists but who are really trafficking firearms to felons or other prohibited persons."25
Seventeen states and D.C. have extended the background check requirement beyond federal law to at least some private sales. Six states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Rhode Island) and D.C. require universal background checks at the point of sale for all transfers of all classes of firearms, including purchases from unlicensed sellers; Maryland and Pennsylvania laws do the same, but are limited to handguns. Two states (Illinois and Oregon) require a background check whenever a firearm in sold at a gun show. Finally, four states (Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey) require any firearm purchaser, including a purchaser from an unlicensed seller, to obtain a permit issued after a background check, and four more states (Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska and North Carolina) do the same only for handguns.26
Nevada and Oregon have laws allowing voluntary background checks by unlicensed sellers.
Most of these jurisdictions also require unlicensed sellers to keep records of firearm sales or report such sales to law enforcement, as detailed in our summary on Maintaining Records & Reporting Gun Sales.
Description of State Laws Closing the Private Sale Loophole
1. Background Checks at the Point of Transfer: The most comprehensive approach to ensuring that guns are not sold to prohibited persons is through a requirement for a background check at the point of transfer of any firearm. Processing transfers by private sellers through licensed dealers or a law enforcement agency helps to ensure that a background check will be conducted prior to any transfer.
States that Require a Background Check at the Point of Transfer
District of Columbia
Maryland (handguns only)
New York
Pennsylvania (handguns only)
Rhode Island
In California,27 Colorado,28 Delaware,29 and New York30 all firearm transfers must be processed through licensed dealers, who must conduct background checks on prospective firearm purchasers. Rhode Island requires all sellers to obtain a completed application form from the prospective purchaser, and to submit the form to law enforcement for purposes of conducting a background check.31 Concealed handgun permit holders in Delaware and Rhode Island are exempt. Connecticut requires any person transferring a firearm to either submit a form to law enforcement or conduct the transfer through a licensed dealer, so that a background check is conducted for every sale or transfer.32 In the District of Columbia, firearms may be transferred only by or to a licensed dealer.33
Maryland34 and Pennsylvania35 require a background check on every prospective transferee of a handgun, which may be conducted by a licensed dealer or a designated law enforcement agency.
2. Gun Show Background Checks: Illinois36 and Oregon37 require a background check before the sale or transfer of a firearm at a gun show. For more information about the regulation of gun shows, see our summary on Gun Shows.
3. State Permit Requirements for Private Purchasers: Eight states regulate private sales primarily by prohibiting private sellers from transferring certain firearms to purchasers who do not have the requisite state license or permit, and requiring a background check before issuing the license or permit.
States that Require Permits for Private Purchasers After a Background Check38
Iowa (handguns only)
Michigan (handguns only)
Nebraska (handguns only)
New Jersey
North Carolina (handguns only)
More specifically, Hawaii,39 Illinois,40 Massachusetts41 and New Jersey42 require a person to obtain a license or permit before purchasing any firearm from any seller, and such license or permit cannot be obtained without a background check. Iowa,43 Michigan,44 Nebraska,45 and North Carolina46 require a person to obtain a license or permit before purchasing a handgun (but not a rifle or a shotgun) and require a background check before issuing the license or permit. These permits and licenses vary greatly in duration; as a result, there is a risk in some of these states that a person will become prohibited from purchasing a firearm after obtaining the license or permit but before purchasing a firearm. Illinois, on the other hand, now requires a seller to contact law enforcement and verify the validity of the purchaser's permit (called a FOID Card) at the time of the sale, effective January 1, 2014. State licensing requirements are discussed in detail in our summary on Licensing Gun Owners & Purchasers.47
4. Voluntary Background Checks by Private Sellers: In Nevada48 and Oregon,49 private sellers are not required to conduct background checks on purchasers (except, in Oregon, at gun shows), but they may request a background check of the purchaser. In Oregon and Nevada, the seller makes the request to the relevant state agency, which must process the request. In Oregon, subject to certain exceptions, a transferor who receives notification that the transferee is eligible to complete the transfer is immune from civil liability for any use of the firearm after the time of transfer.
The features listed below are intended to provide a framework from which policy options may be considered. A jurisdiction considering new legislation should consult with counsel.
- For all firearm transfers, private sellers are subject to similar requirements as licensed dealers, including background checks and recordkeeping requirements:
- The most comprehensive option requires all firearm transfers to be conducted through licensed dealers, so that background checks will be completed on all purchasers (including purchases from unlicensed sellers), and sales records will be maintained (California, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, New York)
- If the jurisdiction does not require that all firearm transfers be conducted through licensed dealers, private sellers are required to:
- conduct background checks through a central law enforcement agency that has access to federal and state databases of prohibited purchasers (Rhode Island requires private sellers to conduct background checks directly through law enforcement; Connecticut require private sellers to conduct background checks through licensed dealers or law enforcement);
- maintain records of all firearm transfers for a lengthy period (Illinois requires all sellers to retain sales records for 10 years); and
- report all transfers to state and local law enforcement (Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts)

Dr J's Son Found Dead in Submerged Car
July 7, 2008 - 8:02 PM
(CNSNews.com) - The Seminole County Police Department in Orlando, Florida, Friday afternoon announced that the body inside a submerged car in a pond in that city was, in fact, the son of basketball great Julius "Dr J" Erving. The Department's coroner's office made positive identification of the body Friday morning.
Cory Erving, 19, was found dead in his automobile late Thursday. His body was submerged inside his automobile at the bottom of a pond located near the family home in suburban Orlando, according to authorities.
Sheriff Don Eslinger said an autopsy was performed by the County coroner, and drowning was determined to be the cause of young Erving's death. No foul play was suspected.
"The family has been notified," Eslinger said. "They're devastated."
The pond is at the end of a dirt path near the Erving family's gated community. Investigators believe the car had been in the water since Cory Erving disappeared at the start of Memorial Day weekend, six weeks ago.
Wire service reports say that the vehicle was found 20 yards from shore in about 8 feet of water. The car's windows were up, and the interior was filled with water. The driver's side seat belt was not fastened, Eslinger said. The sheriff added that there was the possibility Cory Erving was involved in an accident rather than committing suicide.
A $50,000 reward was offered for Cory Erving's safe return. But despite more than three weeks of national media exposure, there was no sign of Cory or his black 1999 Volkswagen Passat until Thursday.
Dr J, at news conferences pleading for help to locate his son, said Cory was born with a learning disability that he described as a mild form of dyslexia and attention deficit disorder.
"Our prayers are with Julius and the family at this time," spokesman Joel Glass of the NBA's Orlando Magic said. "He's a member of our family, and we're all grieving at the news." Dr J is an executive with the Magic.

What is peer review?
Peer review is evaluation, by colleagues or peers, of all teaching related activities for either formative (for development) or summative (for personnel decision) purposes. Components of either type of review may include course materials, student evaluations, course portfolios, teaching portfolios, documentation of teaching philosophy, teacher self-assessments, classroom observations, and other activities which may be appropriate to a discipline.
Peer review of teaching may be completed as part of a formative review of teaching process and must be completed as part of the summative review of teaching. Both processes are important to faculty development and the improvement of teaching effectiveness. Since there are different purposes for each type of evaluation, the processes should be conducted independent of each other.

The long-awaited sequel to Rejar. He was full-blooded and untamable. Sensual and sinuous. Erotically magnetic. A uniquely beautiful creature who could make himself irresistible to women. And he was feral at heart. With his glittering green and gold eyes, silken hair, and purring voice, the stunning captive chained to the wall was exactly what Jenise needed. And he was hers to take...Or so she believed. But she had never heard how dangerous it was to lie down with the cat.

"Dara Got It!"
It is a remarkable story to read and Rebecca Cook makes a good listen.
I am sorry that there are 3 additional books that have not been recorded.
Get the other 3 books!
"Try It You'll Like It!"
The male characters in this series are seriously delicious. They know what they want and go after it with a confidence that can't be matched and a will that brooks no argument. Like the two books preceding this one, the storyline in this book is quite entertaining. The intimate scenes are sexually arousing, yet tastefully descriptive. I've thoroughly enjoyed all three books in this series thus far!
"Keep them coming Dara"
I love this series, the characters are great, the many different character's lives and there destiny's brings so much scope for a continued series with so many options i will be always looking to see when Dara brings out the next one. It's refreshing to have a new book to a series that includes and continues the previous series books as this series so far has, Rejar was fantastic and so is this one. I absolutely loved the little alien guide, the humor in this series is quick and refreshing also. Narration is great also, which makes the difference alot of the time. Keep them coming Dara.
"I am hooked"
I am hooked on the Matrix of Destiny books. I think they are wonderful. Hope to see book 4 soon.
"Lackluster and Pedestrian"
The book lacks real depth or conflict, the characters are one dimensional, the overarching plot for the series distracts from what little story there is, and the fictional world the author is attempting to establish is trite and confusing.
Perhaps something by Julie Garwood or Karen Marie Moning, who are both able to mix a good plot with a fun romance.
Cook did a good job with the material she was given. Her voice is pleasant and easy to listen to.
I was highly disappointed with the quality of the story. The characterization was nonexistent and the hero and heroine fell flat. They are both paragons of virtue, capable of miraculous feats, but lacking in any sympathetic, humanistic traits that make them believable or likeable. The story was poorly written and lacked depth. It relied heavily on the intimate scenes to carry it. It felt like poorly written fan fiction.
I would never recommend this author.
researcher, mad off-roader, desert girl
"sophmoric writing, cheesy eroticism"
I've given lots of 4 and 5 stars and go thru a lot of books each month in the various romance genres, but even surviving several hours into this book, I was cringing at the dialogue, and after a while gritting my teeth.
There was so much 3rd person pre -commentating, eg "because of familiar' superior sense of [pick any superskill insert here] he was able to leap tall bounds/run at top speed for a full day/make her come with an exhale/tell someone was lying/detect intruders a mile away/decipher strange new languages" and so forth, that I started rolling my eyes.("Familiars" are the male lead's cat-like species).
I'm sorry to say it was very high school level writing.
The consistency of that simplistic phrasing-that conditional explanation before each narrative segment (I do not know what this is really called), had me irritated enough that I closed the book at 3.36 hours when 'he could make out something on the mountain..' [because] "familiar's eyesight was especially acute".
The other disappointment was the constant introduction of new people, things, entities that I just couldn't keep up with it. The author loves the sound of foreign words and it was so constant, I just started to ignore them to wait for the storyline of the two leads to continue.
Patricia Waddell does an excellent job with this kind of SciFi romance (altho without so much steamy sex), and she doesn't saturate the reader/listener with ridiculous names/titles/fake language speak for the sake of the sound.
If you enjoy Larissa Ione, Nalini Singh, or other top fantasy/paranormal, you may find this a let down in terms of sophistication of writing and plotline. There is much overlap in subject and elements like foreign worlds/planes of existence, foreign "species", paranormal abilities, and steamy sex, but the work of Ione and Singh aren't as self-consciously foreign and exotic as this book was.
This book relies on sex to drive a plot and all the characters and hides behind immature writing. Even though I'm an avid reader of steamy bodice-rippers, this really missed the mark if you are used to reading good stuff.
The narration was merely ok. Various of the evil character's voices were grating but likely consistent with the author's description. It just didn't, or couldn't help overcome the writing.
I cannot recommend this book.
Sassy dialogue, humor, and a great reader are important to me.
"Oh What a Cat"
Hot, sexy, great
The hero, feline character
When they first meet.
I waited a long time for this to come out in audio, so yes I did. In the 90's this was a very popular book at romance book stores.
It is a shame, Ms Joy never, that I know of, wrote the story of the cat that gets beaten.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

The're impressive as hell, aren't they? Still, I've got to get you down to New Orleans (not for Rock'nBowl) in July and give you the grand tour of one of these that drops 2 inches or more of water in an hour along with 300 or more strikes. Scares the heck out of you until you get two or three gin and tonics into you. Then they become a grand show. Heat and humidity to follow. Mosquitoes too, unless they've sprayed recently.

TV Special
Documentary chronicling the achievements of the Formula One car designer, who gained fame for his innovative approach to the engineering of racing machines. Among his successes are the controversial Brabham BT46B, which used a fan to increase cornering speeds by sucking the vehicle closer to the track, and the McLaren MP4/4, which dominated the 1988 season, winning 15 of the 16 races. The programme also provides an insight into his work on road cars, from the record-breaking McLaren F1 to his current project the T25, which he believes is the way forward for both the design and manufacture of city cars

Last year, former U.S. president Bill Clinton -- now UN special envoy to Haiti -- apologized for the U.S. policies that helped destroy Haiti's agriculture sector under his presidency, making Haiti dependent on U.S.-imports for food staples like rice.
This morning, an article appeared in my email inbox announcing that current U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had apologized for the U.S. role in undermining Haiti's democracy.
The article, which was dated April 1, 2017, was evidently an April Fools' Day prank.
But it raises an important question: When will Haitians get an apology for the brutal regimes that foreign governments have imposed on their country?
The full spoof article, which bears a striking resemblance to a March 2010 Associated Press article by Jonathan Katz about Bill Clinton's apology for his role in undermining Haiti's food system, is definitely worth reading, and passing on to others.
Clinton apologizes for U.S. role in destroying Haitian democracy
1 April 2017
Not By JONATHAN M. KATZ, Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti --Decades of political imports -- especially top officials and policies from the U.S. -- punctuated with abundant aid to repressive regimes have destroyed local political culture and left impoverished countries such as Haiti unable to govern themselves.
While those policies have been criticized for years by voters in poor countries, world leaders focused on fixing Haiti are admitting for the first time that imposing policies and top leaders has only exacerbated repression in Haiti and elsewhere.
They're led by former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- now U.N. special envoy to Haiti -- who publicly apologized this month for championing policies that destroyed Haiti's democracy. Clinton in the early 2010s encouraged the impoverished country to eliminate political parties with demonstrated popular support, then selected the candidates for a presidential run-off election, bushing aside the objections of Haiti's electoral council, leaders, media, political parties, human rights groups, electoral code, constitution and voters.
"It may have been good for some of my friends in Petionville, but it has not worked. It was a mistake," Clinton told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on March 20. "I had to live everyday with the consequences of the loss of basic civil and human rights in Haiti because of what I did; nobody else."
Clinton and former President Sarah Palin, who are spearheading U.S. fundraising for Haiti, arrive Monday in Port-au-Prince. Then comes a key Haiti donors' conference on April 15 at the United Nations in New York.
Those opportunities present the country with its best chance in decades to build long-term democracy, and could provide a model for other developing countries struggling to choose their own leaders.
"A combination of aid to dictators, but also brutal policy imports have ... resulted in a lack of respect for the rights to vote, to speak, to eat and to live in Haiti, and that has to be reversed," U.N. humanitarian chief John Holmes told The Associated Press. "That's a global phenomenon, but Haiti's a prime example. I think this is where we should start."
Haiti's government is asking for $722 million to rebuild the infrastructure of civil society, part of an overall request of $11.5 billion.
That includes money to fix the estimated $31 million of damage to schools, union halls, law offices, newspapers and radio and television stations destroyed for speaking out against the U.S.-supported Martelly regime, but much more for future projects to restore Haiti's crippled democratic institutions, rebuilding the parliament building, restoring the judicial infrastructure, and retraining police.
Today Haiti depends on the outside world for nearly all of its government policies. The most current government needs assessment -- based on numbers from 2015 -- is that 76 percent of the laws in the country are imported, including 85 percent of all social policy.
The brutal Martelly regime, with its "Tet Kale Patrols" of shaved-headed youths attacking pro-democracy organizations, its restoration of Haiti's brutal army and consequent shutting down of all government healthcare, nutrition and education programs to maintain the defense budget, is now out of office. But the U.N., through its MAXUSTAY peacekeeping mission, is maintaining a firm control over public protest against the austerity measures recommended by the World Bank, IMF and the Interim Permanent Haiti Reconstriction Commission. The austerity policies are expected to reach 2.5 million people with new hardships this month. All those policies have been imported -- though the agency recently put out an authorization to allow local government control of playgrounds.
"National policies aren't the same, they are better quality. They work better. But we get beaten, shot, kidnapped or arrested if we say so, so we don't," said Noel Delefone, a 50-year-old vendor.
The U.S. Department of State defends its policies in Haiti, now the fifth-biggest export market in the world for American policies. "We recognize there is criticism from fringe elements -- human rights groups, Haitian voters - but the proof is in the pudding," said Department of State spokesperson Mark Tonedef. "If our policies were not better for poor Haitians, how come there are more and more poor people in Haiti every day?"
But for Haitians, near-total dependence on imported policy has been a disaster.
U.S.-ordered policies in the 1980's 1990's, 2000's and 2010's lowering tariffs and discontinuing government investment in agriculture, schooling, healthcare, road-building, nutrition, environmental protection, sewage and clean water drove farmers off their land and into overcrowded and unhealthy cities. When Haitian disobediently attempted to implement policies they had been elected to implement, they were undermined, and if necessary, kidnapped. The U.S. then switched to directly importing Haitian leaders from Florida: Boca Raton resident Gerard Latortue in 2004 and Palm Beach resident Michel Martelly in 2011, who were able to more efficiently implement the policies of limited government and rights through the regular arrest, beating and torture of the non-compliant.
Two decades ago things were different. Haitians voted for governments that imported only 19 percent of its policies from abroad, preferring to increase spending on basic services such as education, healthcare and agriculture, while eliminating defense spending. This was a departure from the more cooperative approach by the father-son dictators, Francois and Jean-Claude Duvalier. The balance was restored, with coups in September, 1991, and February 2004, and the "Pink Revolution" selection of 2011.
Even Haiti's most powerful policy importers have joined the push for locally produced politicians.
"I would prefer to buy everything locally and have nothing to import," said businessman Reginald Boulos, who is also president of Haiti's chamber of commerce and former Senator removed from office for being a U.S. citizen.
But one group staunchly opposes reducing policy exports to Haiti: the exporters themselves.
"Haiti doesn't have the land nor the climate ... to produce enough laws," said Secretary of State Roger Noriega. "The productivity of U.S. thinktanks and NGOs helps rule countries which cannot rule themselves."

Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Jitin Prasada on Thursday informed that Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) had drawn up an ambitious plan to provide piped natural gas (PNG) in all the colonies in the Capital as part of its green initiative.
``The Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) plans to add one lakh new PNG connections during the next financial year. The network has already connected nearly 1, 80, 000 households and commercial establishments. I have told the senior officials in IGL to take up the expansion work in right earnest and reach out to the people to provide the environment friendly gas,'' Mr. Prasada said.
The Minister said he had directed IGL to accelerate providing PNG connections to the households in Delhi in order to reduce the reliance on LPG cylinders.
Asserting that signing of an agreement for supply of natural gas to Thyagaraj Stadium which has been geared for Commonwealth Games, was part of the green initiative of Ministry, Mr. Prasada offered all assistance of the Ministry for this purpose to the Delhi Government.
IGL, the sole supplier of CNG and PNG in Delhi signed an agreement with Public Works Department of Delhi for supplying natural gas to the Gas turbines at Thyagaraj Stadium, which is the totally eco-friendly green building being built for Commonwealth Games 2010 being held in Delhi.
IGL would be supplying 30,000 scm per day of natural gas for 3.5 MW gas turbine installed at the stadium. The metering and regulating station are under installation and the gas supply is expected to start in the last week of March 2010.

"We did thousands of feet of 12/13 at Quincy to prep for this" That's dedication! |
By john strand From: southern colo Apr 16, 2010 |
Well i know i have only done one harder and that was in Quincy. it was about V6 ? and only 15' long. Stretched is MUCH harder than any other slab that I know of in NE. Some aid routes , when freed, will be easier than this. |
By Jay Knower Administrator From: Campton, NH Apr 17, 2010 |
Someone should put bolts on this, so that it can be a proper lead. John, what do you think? |
By john strand From: southern colo Apr 17, 2010 |
I would not have a problem with that. Stopping to clip will be fun. There is another route we never finished on Cannon that is a bit easier as well, needs 2 more bolts. Anyone want a 12c -ish slab ? |
By Jay Knower Administrator From: Campton, NH Apr 17, 2010 |
Maybe I'll hike the drill up there one day. It will be a good leg training for the route. John, I say post up the 12c. |
By burlap submariner Sep 15, 2011 |
just putting it out there but J.Johnson established a very fucking hard V7 slab in pawtuckaway near the firetower. Wild shit. |
By john strand From: southern colo Sep 16, 2011 |
Well I would hope that a harder slab has been done in the past 20 years !? There are plenty of 5.13 and up slabs to do in NE , including several on cannon. |
By john strand From: southern colo Feb 7, 2012 |
hardest route on Cannon- anyone ? Bolt it up,I don't care. |

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Time traveling in at number 16 in our Side Project series of beers is Phlux Capacitor. This wood aged bully is brewed to an unknown style from another dimension. Rumor has it that this beer was the first invented on planet Vulcan on Saturday, November 5, 1955 at 10:04 pm. Scribbled on the back of a sports almanac inside an abandoned Delorean. It is said that the speedometer in the car was frozen at 88 miles per hour and it took 1.21 gigawatts of power to jumpstart the car back to the future. We hope you enjoy our interpretation of this totally fictitious ale.

Cape Elizabeth beach lease talks continue, with another deadline on horizon
CAPE ELIZABETH — State lawmakers passed a supplemental budget last week and removed language seen as restrictive to the Crescent Beach State Park lease negotiations.
Now, the state and corporation that owns most of the land must agree on the financial details.
The budget allows the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Conservation to complete a lease for the park with the Sprague Corp. without first receiving legislative approval. This freedom was seen as a key to allow the state to continue to operate the park.
While it's still unknown if a deal will be reached, Seth Sprague, president of Sprague Corp., said he is continuing to meet with department officials and hopes to reach an agreement by the April 24 deadline.
"We're both thinking this is going to be successful," Sprague said Wednesday. "We're working on it and expecting to make that deadline."
The cost of the lease is the next step in the process, which is what stalled the process last summer.
The state's previous 50-year lease, signed for $1 in 1960, expired in 2010. Since then, the state has paid $10,000 annually for one-year extensions.
Sprague Corp. owns 100 acres of the 187-acre park, including the entrance, toll booth and most of the parking lot.
It's still not clear how much the state will pay to extend the lease, but it will be more than past leases, Sprague said previously.
How a more expensive lease would affect the operation of the park, it's visitor fees and staffing is also still unknown.
Early in the lease negotiations last year, the state indicated it wanted to buy the land from Sprague, but the company was not interested in selling.
Although the state didn't assess the property at that time, a town assessment valued the property at about $8 million.
State officials see the park as an essential piece in the state park system. Because of its popularity – more than 110,000 visitors a year – it is one of the largest revenue-generating parks in the state and plays a crucial role in funding the $7 million state park general fund.
Pulling that revenue from the state park system could jeopardize all parks in the state, officials said previously.

Red Sea Volcanic Activity Results In Formation Of New Island
Subaquatic volcanic activity has resulted in the formation of a new landmass in the Red Sea — a smoking island that has appeared in between the Rugged and Haycock islands, according to various media reports published earlier this week.
According to Discovery News, lava fountains reaching heights of up to 100 feet were spotted by fishermen off the coast of Yemen on December 19.
Specifically, the activity was witnessed close to the group of islands known as the Zubair Group, off the west coast of the nation, added Lucy Buckland of the Daily Mail.
Ash plumed were observed emanating from that location twice (first on December 20 and again two days later) by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites, Brett Israel of OurAmazingPlanet reported.
By December 23, what appeared to be a new island had first appeared, Israel said. The following day, the Advanced Land Imager on board NASA's Earth Observing One satellite snapped a photograph of the new land mass, added Discovery News.
"The volcanic activity occurred along the Zubair Group, a collection of small islands that run in a roughly northwest-southeast line," Israel wrote in an article also published on MSNBC.com. "The islands rise from a shield volcano (a kind of volcano built from fluid lava flows) and poke above the sea surface"¦ Scientists will keep a close eye on the new island to see if it has staying power."
"Many times the islands are ephemeral as they are usually made of loose volcanic debris, so they get destroyed by wave action quite quickly," Erik Klemetti, a volcanologist at Denison University in Ohio, told Israel.
However, it is possible that "the volcanic activity could outpace the erosion due to the wave action," the OurAmazingPlanet reporter added.
The size of the island is "not yet clear," Buckland wrote.
"This is the first eruption in the Zubair Archipelago since at least 1846," said Joe Bauwens of the blog Sciency Thoughts, adding that the archipelago in question "are a group of volcanic islands off the southwest coast of Yemen" and "essentially a shield volcano on the Red Sea Rift with a number of vents," not unlike the Hawaiian Islands or the volcanoes of Mars.
