Best Uses
Comments about Nitto Noodle 177 Handlebar:
This a fantastic handlebar, I replaced a bar I had on my litespeed that was causing compression numbness on my longer rides (200 + miles) and wow, no numbness on my latest 600k. I don't know why I did not replace my old one with this bar before.
The bar has long flats on the top and a comfortable bend with no weird bending ( you know the ones that are marked as being anatomical , only if you have hands the size of a baby). Nitto makes great products and this bar is one of their best!
Comments about Nitto Noodle 177 Handlebar:
Stiff construction with the extra width allows significant leverage and drive when out of the saddle and heaving the bike from side to side. The extra wide versions are a godsend for the larger cyclists as the shoulders don't feel cramped. The classic look may yet herald in a change from carbon everything.
Comments about Nitto Noodle 177 Handlebar:
If you are looking for a silver set of bars for your steel frame, look no further than Nitto. Perfection.

My dad had been rambling on and on about how I never throw hard enough there, so decided to throw harder than usual but still on a good line. I through it on a slight hyzer and as it was taking a long, graceful fade, it slammed into the front of the basket, but it spat out. I do not blame the basket for this close call, I blame the KC Pro plastic, after all, it is hard as a roc. Haha

You can take Tom "TK" Kuegler out of Baltimore, but he'll leave his heart and checkbook behind.
Kuegler, an Essex native and Loyola University grad, left Charm City more than ten years ago for the wilds of Montana. There, he indulged his passion for the outdoors while regularly commuting to San Francisco to indulge his other passion--early stage technology companies.
Four years and several startups later he co-founded Wasabi Ventures LLC, a Silicon Valley venture capital and consulting firm, and moved to Manchester, New Hampshire.
But Kuegler's heart kept tugging him back to his hometown. Two years ago, he joined the Board of Sponsors of the Sellinger School of Business at Loyola and recently inaugurated the startup advisory Wasabi Ventures Accelerator. And last month Wasabi joined a syndicate of investors including Baltimore Angels and Blu Venture Investors of Vienna, Va., to ply Baltimore startup Social Toaster with nearly $2 million in capital.

In 1961, before his political career got underway, future President of the US Ronald Reagan delivered a ten-minute warning about socialized medicine and its likely trajectory as a societal flying wedge, for the establishment of socialism in the USA. Reagan, denied access to mass media by a left-leaning mass media establishment lost in adoration of a charismatic new US President (John F. Kennedy) had to find a different vehicle to get his message out.
In this pre-internet era, Reagan chose to record a phonograph record (cover reproduced above) citizens could play for neighbors as a communal warning. Americans organized coffee klatches to play Reagans message which, at just over ten minutes long, corresponded neatly with the time needed to drink a cup of coffee or have a cigarette. After the session, the record would be passed on to someone else who would hold his or her own coffee klatch. In this slow-motion fashion, Reagans warning about socialism went viral in 1961. The net result: socialized medicine was defeated by an avalanche of adverse public opinion, expressed by an angry public via its only means of communication in that era: letters delivered by US Mail to Congressmen and Senators.
Reagans talk on socialized medicine, heard today, is eerily predictive of both todays messianic push for government control over our healthcare system and Obamas ever-advancing socialistic agenda. HEAR THIS AUDIO FILE NOW. And send the link to your friends. Get your coffee klatch going today!

- The Pentagon will cut pay raises in half for more than 11,000 civilians moving out of its cancelled pay for performance setup -- the National Security Personnel System. That coming from John James, the person in charge of managing the transition. NSPS is being phased out, under a mandate in the 2010 Defense Authorization Act. The civilian workers are moving to the General Schedule. John James, in Senate testimony Thursday, said the employees are not getting their full pay raises, because they already earn more than their new General Schedule grades allow.
- Among the costs to run the House of Representatives for a year are $30 million for Members and staff to travel around the country, $4 million for office temps, $400,000 for bottled water and $3 million for buffet lunches, doughnuts and pizza. A new database built by the Sunlight Foundation in cooperation with Roll Call puts spending data into a single, sortable, searchable spreadsheet for the first time. According to the Sunlight data, the top vendor doing business with the House in the last six months of 2009 was CDW-Government. The second-highest-paid vendor was postage giant Pitney Bowes. Other major vendors include Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Cisco Systems.
- Federal News Radio told you a little bit about this yesterday -- The Senate vote on intelligence chief could be delayed. Lawmakers have been concerned about a memo from James Clapper, President Obama's nominee for national intelligence director. That memo, written about a month before he was tapped for the DNI job, details Clapper's objections to 17 provisions of the 2010 intelligence authorization bill. That bill provides a larger budget and more executive power to the DNI. The chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, has already voiced misgivings over Clapper as intelligence director. She says she wants his views on the bill's provisions, and whether he believes a stronger DNI would weaken the authorities of the secretary of defense.Clapper is scheduled to meet privately with lawmakers at the end of this week, but now it doesn't look as though Clapper will be confirmed by July.
- The Office of Management and Budget considers a temporary halt on new projects to modernize federal financial management systems. A draft memo Federal News Radio has obtained would be the latest step in the administration's attempt to reshape federal financial management. The temporary pauses would give OMB time to approve implementation plans that agencies have crafted. They would apply to projects worth at least $10 million dollars and to existing development task orders worth more than $500-thousand dollars.
- GSA names its first Chief Greening Officer. Eleni Reed will step into that post. There, she'll be in charge of reducing the environmental footprint of more than 9,000 federal buildings. Those buildings are owned or least by GSA.
- It is a $900-million dollar contract to help the Air Force with software. And it'll be split between some major players in the Defense Contracting world. Northrup Grumman, Boeing, DCS, BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin all get a piece of the $919-million dollar contract to provide software development of mission planning systems. The software will provide the warfighter with the tools to plan missions and transfer required data to the aircraft avionics.
- It was only a matter of time, really. Twitter is hiring a government liason. The social media site posted a job listing, looking for an experienced, entreprenurial person to make Twitter better for policymakers, political organizations and government officials and agencies. The new hire would be the first D.C.-based employee and will be responsible for helping Twitter understand how government works.
- The Feds want to make it a little more expensive to become an American. Under a proposal by immigration officials, the price of green cards, business visas and other immigration red tape would go up. The fee hikes would help close a projected $200-million dollar budget gap for next fiscal year. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services department has already cut $160-million dollars from its budget, but that wasn't enough. USCIS is a fee-based organization with about 90 percent of its budget coming from fees paid by applicants and petitioners to obtain immigration benefits. Your comments about the proposals are requested on the Federal Register.

Earlier this week at the LA Auto Show, Fiat (and its corporate owner, Chrysler) unveiled an attention grabbing, all-electric Fiat 500e, and two other Fiats a 5-seater 500L and and an Abarth convertible. While Chrysler is a latecomer to EVs and hybrids, the 500e it unveiled is intended to compete well in California, which reportedly accounts for 32% of all-new electric vehicle sales and 24.7% of all hybrids sold in the U.S.The 500e will come with an electric orange exterior with a white and orange interior. In an interview with Brent Snavely of the Detroit Free Press, Tim Kuniskis, head of Fiat Brand North America, said he expects the 2013 Fiat 500e to reach beyond the typical set of environmentally conscious...

From the Triangle Boulder keep walking, past Bus Driver. It is directly under the 40 degree wall.
Access issues inherited from Upper Gara Gorge
Gara Gorge is located 16km south-east of Armidale's CBD. To get there, take the Grafton road east out of Armidale then turn right onto Castle Doyle road (just after the 100km speed limit signs) This road goes onto Blue Hole road, turning to dirt straight after the cattle grid, takes you to the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park. Once at the river follow the road right until it comes to a turning circle/parking area at the beginning of the walking track. This is the focus of most of the bouldering in the area. Access to the second car park referred to in the rest of the guide has been blocked to vehicles. To get there walk up onto the ridge and follow the old car track along until it stops. This is the old 'Car Park'. From the old car park there are several ways of getting into the gorge. Either follow the well defined track which leads east along the ridge to drop down to the Roadblock area and the Mad Woman's Breakfast boulder, or veer left (north) from this track at its start and walk straight down towards the Hope Buttress region. To get to the Thick As Thieves / Private Sector area, scramble up past the upstream end of Hope Buttress, then head straight across, past a small gully, then on to the main gully, the main water course. Another way to access the Thick as Thieves and Schoolgirl area is to follow the walking track from the first car park until you are above them, and then drop in via the riverbed (about 500m).
Ethic inherited from Upper Gara Gorge
Basically, the climbers of Armidale are a pretty laid back, free thinking group and as long as you don't go out of your way to put people's noses out of joint you'll be amazed at how helpful they can be. The quickest way to piss people off is by ripping off projects. There are a few devoted locals making an effort and putting up quality new climbs. A lot of time, hard work and even money goes into their endeavours (cracks can be projects too) and there is too much unclimbed rock around to justify destroying someone else's motivation. Any routes marked as such or not in the guide should be left alone. The simple courtesy of asking first may save you from being stripped naked and being staked out for the crows to pick your eyes out. If putting up new routes is your thing then please feel free. The only request is that you avoid placing hangers or conspicuous bolts around the Gara Boulders as we are already viewed as an environmental menace by the NPWS - bolting in National Parks is actually illegal.

Illegal dumping in Swansboro has taken a turn for the macabre: A pile of deer carcasses has been found rotting by the side of an undeveloped state road.
"It's a blatant disrespect of the law," said a man who lives in a nearby neighborhood. "It's a waste of life."
The man, who asked to remain anonymous, said that on Saturday morning about 9 a.m., he saw two large puddles of blood in a vacant lot next to his home in the Swans Bluff subdivision. The carcasses were found the next day on Ffa Camp Road, about one mile from the neighborhood.
The man said he has heard gunshots near his home recently and the sight of the blood puddle confirmed for him that people were hunting illegally close to his home. It is illegal to discharge a firearm within 500 feet of a residence in Onslow County.
"There are laws in place to protect people," he said. "(The blood) was less than 150 feet from my home. Those bullets could've hit my home and hurt me or my wife or my grandchildren."
Hunting for wild game 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset also is illegal in North Carolina.
One of the officials investigating the incident, Sgt. Charles Smith of the N.C. Wildlife Commission, said illegal hunting practices have become more common in the Hammocks Beach Road area, where the carcasses were found toward the end of 2013.
"I've worked on night hunting cases on Hammocks Beach Road before most of the houses were built there," said Smith, a 26-year veteran with the commission. "It sort of comes and goes in that area, but there's been a recent uptick recently."
According to Smith, night hunting is illegal due to the danger it poses on vulnerable herds of deer and the "unfair advantage" it gives hunters since deer tend to roam freely and with more security at night. Smith also said the practice is becoming more dangerous in Onslow County due to the rapid development in recent years.
"When you're shooting at night, you have a limited field of vision," Smith said "If you can't see what's in front of you, property could be damaged and people can get hurt. Also, discharged weapons are a nuisance for people in nearby homes, especially in the early hours."
Smith said he first learned about the dumped carcasses after getting a call from the Onslow County Sheriff's Office, which was investigating a night hunting case.
In that case, Cody James Jennings, 22, of Tarawa Terrace, was charged on Dec. 29 with taking a deer between one half-hour after sunset and one half-hour before sunrise as well as failing to wear a seat belt and reckless driving to endanger others. He's scheduled to appear in court next on Jan. 31.
Jennings was charged in Jones County in 2011with unlawfully taking wildlife, two counts of possessing unlawfully taken wildlife, two counts of transporting unlawfully taken wildlife, consuming alcohol underage and spotlighting deer. Jennings pleaded guilty to the spotlighting charge, but all other charges were dismissed by the state.
Jennings charges are not connected to the illegal dumping, which included more than a dozen deer and a couple of geese.
Smith said by the time he arrived, some of the bodies were decaying and a scent was emanating from them. Though Smith said carcass dumping isn't uncommon, he said the incident near Hammocks Beach Road was the worst he's seen all year. Smith said incidents like that are not only illegal, but shine a bad light on a necessary practice.
"It sheds a negative light on hunting," Smith said. "Legal hunting helps manage the deer population to a safe level for deer and for people. I don't consider people who do this to be hunters. They're criminals."
Smith said the impact is also detrimental to the local environment as the decomposing carcasses can pollute nearby bodies of water if they're carried there during a storm. The related oxygen depletion can lead to the unnatural death of fish in the area.
Chris Huebner of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission said these practices are not only detrimental to the safety of games and humans, but can bring unwanted guests.
"You have the possibility of attracting a lot of animals because they'll get an easy meal," Huebner said. "It can bring in birds of prey like vultures as well as raccoons, foxes and coyotes. We recommend everyone dispose of their animals in a sanitary manner at a landfill or burying it in a hole."
Smith said it's important for those in the community to speak up when illegal hunting or dumping incidents occur, not only for the law's sake, but for the sake of their neighbors and the local environment.
"Call us as soon as you know something," Smith said. "Don't call when it's convenient, call as soon as you see something's wrong."
Smith advises people who witness hunting violations to contact the NC Wildlife Commission at 1-800-662-7137.

If you have the time give a visit to the company's premises to see what you're really getting for your money. Do not get tempted by very low prices. Usually a lower price deals result in in poorer quality and a reduction in the limo hire Putney service, because in general you get what you pay for. Another thing you should ask the company while hiring a limousine is the standard inclusions like formally dressed chauffeur, professional driving license and an umbrella to shield from rain or sun. Choose well and your occasion will be an event that everyone remembers.

GARETH DUNCAN reports on the Chiefs' 41-34 bonus-point victory over the Blues in Albany.
Seventy-five points, nine tries and 13 kicks at goal were scored in this highly entertaining and closely contested New Zealand derby. Four of those five-pointers were dotted down via Chiefs wing Asaeli Tikoirotuma, who equalled the Super Rugby record for most tries scored by a player in one match. He becomes the 10th player to achieve this feat.
But despite Tikorotuma's fine finishing, the Blues scored four tries of their own to create a competitive clash. The hosts have struggled for confidence and cohesion throughout the season, but they were an improved team in this encounter. Two of their tries came in the final quarter against a 14-man Chiefs side, who lost lock Michael Fitzgerald for punching (their second yellow card of the match). This forced a late 34-34 deadlock.
A comeback win was on the cards as the Aucklanders looked determined in the dying stages, but the Chiefs regained the ascendancy when they returned to 15 men. During an attacking move in the 70th minute, fullback Robbie Robinson put through an accurate chip, which saw Tikorotuma outsprint the Blues' covering defence to score the match-winning try.
The haul of maximum log points will see the Chiefs hold pole position in the Kiwi conference and on the overall table for another week, while the Blues claim two consolation log points.
The visitors enjoyed the better start in the first half as they surged into a 20-10 lead by the half-hour mark. Flyhalf Aaron Cruden's clever chip exposed the opposition's rushed defence and put Tikoirotuma through for his first try, while inside centre Sonny Bill Williams held off five defenders on route to the chalk. Cruden added the extras and two penalties.
However, the Blues fought back bravely and levelled matters by half-time. Both teams were reduced to 14 men when Blues flank Steven Luatua and Chiefs wing Maritino Nemani were sin-binned for dangerous tackles in quick succession. The game loosened up thereafter and Blues wing Lachie Munro slid in at the corner thanks to a strong run from speedster Rene Ranger. This saw the scoreboard read 20-20 at the break.
The Chiefs started the second stanza strongly, and impressive build-up play allowed Tikorotuma to complete his hat-trick by the 55th-minute. With the 34-20 advantage, the Chiefs were expected to cruise to victory.
The Blues flipped the script when Fitzgerald was yellow-carded moments later. Fullback Rudi Wulf and Ranger crossed the chalk to break down the deficit, but the Chiefs still managed to clinch their 11th win of the season following Tikorotuma's record-equalling fourth try.

The Cheetahs failed to score a fourth try in beating the Kings in Bloemfontein.
The Cheetahs won 26 – 12 after leading 15 – 9 at half time, but will rue the fact that they could not jump to the top of the South African conference by scoring an all important fourth try.
Respecting the Kings as they stated in the week, the Cheetahs built a lead by way of Burton Francis' boot, before Raymond Rhule scored the first of three tries. Lappies Labuschagne rounded off the first half with a try of his own, which was also his last act of the match as he came off with an injured shoulder.
The breakdowns were dominated yet again by an in form Cheetahs trio, who outplayed the Kings loosies, who seemed to lack go forward. The Kings pack did make life difficult for the Cheetahs at scrum time though, with the referee looking clueless yet again in awarding penalties.
The star for the Cheetahs was Willie le Roux, though I feel he is too predictable in always backing his chip and chase tactic, which ends up in lost possession more often than not. Burton Francis impressed though, getting his backline moving and starting to find his feet as the all out attacking flyhalf.
For the Kings it is back to the drawing board, as they seem to lack punch up front and their heart and soul approach seems to be missing. It is a long season and it was expected that the players would tire at some stage and the match against the Waratahs next weekend will not make matters any easier.
The Cheetahs finally have their first bye of the season, after playing ten straight matches, a rest that will see them return the week after refreshed.
Cheetahs: 26 (15)
Tries: Raymond Rhule, Pieter Labuschagne, Willie le Roux
Conversions: Burton Francis (1)
Penalties: Burton Francis (3)
Kings: 12 (9)
Penalties: Demetri Catrakilis (4)

Waterkloof and Florida both thumped Windhoek Gym (44-6) and Parktown Boys' (34-11) respectively, while Marias Viljoen ran riot in a 55-29 drubbing of hosts St John's. Daniel Pienaar bashed Klein Nederburg 46-3 and Nelspruit made light work of the Lions Invitational XV (43-14).
Tournament organiser Adi Norris lauded a wonderful opening day at the festival.
'Although there were plenty of one-sided matches, there was still great talent and some good rugby on show,' Norris told Schoolboy Derby. 'Paarl Boys', Waterkloof, Daniel Pienaar and Florida are the teams to look out for over the next two days of the tournament. We are set for an exciting day two.'
Day two resumes on Saturday, with the highlight matches seeing Boishaai take on Nelspruit and Waterkloof face Florida in a repeat of the 2011 Beeld Trophy final.

Brandenburg Light
Classic Capped Toe Brouge Shoe
The Fit Expert
Shawn and Catherine from our Washington DC store says:
Because the Brandenburgs have a tapered toe, most people size up a half size for the best fit (especially in the women's sizes).
More Colours
A subtle banker's shoe with a trimmed leather sole, The Brandenburg Light is the unisexy shoe for those seeking to be victorious on the battlefield of bowling alley board meetings and boardwalk barbeques. Produced in our favourite Vietnamese factory, owned by Japanese shoe-makers, who were trained in England using 19th century traditional methods, the Gateway Family as a whole are some of the most classically fabricated shoes we have made in recent years. Featuring Italian leathers and suedes in casual colours that glow of cocktail antiquity, with a classic capped toe pattern, the unlined Brandenburg Light ensures you walk home with your head held high (and hopefully all three points).

*Leather soles can be slippery at first, and should not be worn in heavy wet weather, or on salted sidewalks as they may compromise the strength and structure of the sole. Many buyers choose to topy leather soles to remedy this.

walking on air
Sizing: well...Given that I have long toes, and the shoes taper, and that patent leather doesn't stretch, and all the advice about sizing even larger, I got a half size larger than I usually do, from 11 to 11.5. They're too big. I had to put in an extra insole to take up more space. So, careful. They make big feet look even bigger, sadly, though I think the glorious pink shine of the patent leather deflects all uncharitable thoughts.
The tops of the shoes, where the leather from the caps and the lacing part is sewn in also rubs a bit; blood was drawn. But surely that will stretch too with time. Right?
All the niggles aside, though, they are very comfortable to wear, and, perhaps more importantly, they put a jive in my step.
Literally my favorite pair of shoes (and I have quite a few)
If, like me, you wear a women's size smaller than a size 9 and want these, they currently (April 2015) have them on Amazon. I was SO happy, because I really wanted these shoes, and they only start at size 9 for women on fluevog.com (what's the dealio with that, John Fluevog?). If you're a woman who wears a size smaller than a 9, get them while you can at Amazon.
Regarding the fit, they aren't narrow through the heel or across the arch, but right at the toes, where the cap starts, they become really narrow really fast. I read another review where the reviewer said she has narrow feet and went 1/2 size up, but I have wide toes, so I went a full size up, and I don't regret it. I will say I have a space the width of my thumb between my big toe and the end, but looking at the shoes, I am sure my toes would have been squeezed if they were any closer to the end. Therefore, if you have narrow feet, go 1/2 size up, but if you have wide toes and a high arch like I do, consider going up one full size.
My favorite shoes ever.
Brandenburg Ultimate
The black leather is like that used on the Bronte. The patent red and blue leathers were reminiscent of the Lansky, which featured a muddled patent leather color.
At $319 they're more expensive than other Brandenburgs, but I'm already considering buying a backup pair since only 30 pair exist on Earth.

Clarence Steineke's 1956 Chevrolet Delray 210 is parked on Colby Avenue in Everett during the 2012 Cruzin' to Colby. Steineke has had the car since graduating from high school.
It's also a hot-rod nod to the nostalgic time in Everett when you could grab your favorite girl and your treasured T-bird and cruise the city's main drag, showing off your wheels.
Those bygone times make a return each year on Memorial Day weekend when Cruzin' to Colby revs up in downtown Everett.
The event starts at 1 p.m. Sunday with the Cruise on Colby Avenue, when about 400 cars roll through the streets as throngs of onlookers admire the machinery.
There's a public dance from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, 3105 Pine St., Everett, featuring the Wright Brothers Band. Admission is $5 per person.
The free Show 'n shine is from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday.
Spectators can walk among the parked beauties, ogle the chrome and ask questions of the owners.
Entertainment is provided by the Wright Brothers Band and Danny Vernon Illusions of Elvis. There's an award presentation from 3 to 4 p.m.
The car club the Seattle Rod-Tiques, made up of members mostly from Snohomish and Skagit counties, has hosted Cruzin' to Colby since 1999.
The club's mission is to promote family fun, community awareness by raising funds for various charities, and car and driving safety. The club donates thousands of dollars each year to many charities, according to their web site.

Butana Komphela has claimed that Nelson Mandela was not a supporter of the Springbok emblem.
In 1996, after Mandela had played a role in unifying the country along with the World Cup-winning Boks a year earlier, he backed the Bok emblem to stay. The National Sports Council wanted to replace the Bok with the King Protea, and Mandela reasoned this would only cause conflict.
"There is a real possibility that if we review our decision and accept the Springbok for rugby as our symbol, we will unite our country as never before," said Mandela.
Komphela, the chairman of the parliamentary portfolio committee on sport, has claimed however that before the World Cup Madiba didn't back the Bok.
"It is a known fact that even Mandela himself allowed the team to use the Springbok emblem for the World Cup only as they had already made orders for the kit bearing the Springbok," said Komphela.
"He simply did not want to rock the boat before the big event; he even told the rugby captain at the time [Francois Pienaar] that they must not forget that the Springbok should go," Komphela said.
If Komphela's claims are true, it simply goes to show how a world-renowned leader such as Mandela changed his stance on the emblem after noting the positive effect the Bok has had – and will have in the future.
This is in direct contrast to Komphela – who despite witnessing the World Cup Boks of 1995 and 2007 unify the entire country – continues to launch attack after attack on the Boks and rugby in general.
Komphela openly stated two weeks ago that along with the intended abolishment of the Bok emblem, that "we are on our way to taking away all stadiums from rugby…nothing will stop us."

ŌĆ£A majority of Americans tell pollsters that they believe the Second Amendment protects private ownership of guns,ŌĆØ wrote Garry Wills, historian and author of James Madison, in 1995.
What is the basis for this belief and why was Wills focusing on this issue in 1995? Does the sparse language of the Second Amendment actually guarantee an individual right to bear arms? Protect private gun ownership and the right to carry firearms without restriction?
What does ŌĆ£the right of the people to keep and bear ArmsŌĆØ mean in the context of the entire Second Amendment language? In the context of the Constitution? In the context of the historical record? What was the feeling among the constitutional delegates about standing armies? Militias? Indeed, what were the politics of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?
Is the meaning of the Second Amendment clear? If the ŌĆ£original meaningŌĆØ of the Constitution is clear and unambiguous, why have we been paying the Supreme Court to interpret it for over 200 years? Why do some express a ŌĆ£majority opinionŌĆØ and others dissent? Why do we have constitutional scholars?
James Madison was the author of the militia clause in the Constitution and the Second Amendment. What was MadisonŌĆÖs thinking and how do we know it? Are MadisonŌĆÖs words undebatable?
Have all the Supreme Court justices agreed on the interpretation of the Second Amendment? Why did the Court have one interpretation this amendment for almost one hundred years and then seem to reverse course? Was there a consensus on the Court?
What was the purpose of the Second Amendment? Was it to address self defense? To save slavery? To pacify the delegates from the South who were resisting support of the Constitution at the 1787 Convention because of the slavery issue?
No one would deny that slavery played an important role in the early development of the nation, but just how important was it? What do we know about the role slavery played in the Constitutional Convention and how do we know it?
Historian Gordon Wood notes that: ŌĆ£If we are to understand accurately the role of slavery in the making of the Constitution, we have to try to rid ourselves of our knowledge of what happened in the succeeding decades. The founders did not know the future, any more than we do, and most of them at the outset lived with the illusion that slavery in the United States was dying away and would somehow eventually disappear, especially with the ending of the slave trade. Of course, they could not have been more wrong.ŌĆØ
Politics in Philadelphia
What were the politics of the delegates to the Philadelphia convention in that hot summer? Was the Amendment designed to ensure that citizens are armed and ready to fight against their own government should it become tyrannical? Did the Framers consider the possibility of a ŌĆ£tyrannicalŌĆØ new government a priority consideration as they worked to produce a document designed to unify and stabilize thirteen colonies? Does such an idea make sense? What evidence supports the idea that the Framers feared that the new government might become tyrannical?
Were the Framers concerned about individual ownership of firearms or about ŌĆ£securityŌĆØ and ŌĆ£domestic tranquility?ŌĆØ Or, were the Framers concerned about maintaining order and avoiding chaos in the new nation, discouraging threats to its ŌĆ£security,ŌĆØ instability that could discredit the Revolution, and benefit its ŌĆ£enemiesŌĆØ abroad?
Has the belief that the Second Amendment protects private ownership of guns always been so? Or is this belief born of a disposition to believe that the Second Amendment is a ŌĆ£sacred principleŌĆØ that protects gun ownership? Is this disposition of recent vintage?
Has the Second Amendment been ŌĆ£hijackedŌĆØ? Have gun advocates intentionally misstated the law, repeating their misstatements and investing heavily in propaganda in order to persuade the public? Persuade the corporate media? Persuade courts?
The Right, the National Rifle Association and the gun lobby and even some on the Left given to romanticizing history have a ŌĆ£boiler plate,ŌĆØ knee-jerk response to the gun control issue ŌĆö they would have Americans believe that the argument that the Second Amendment guarantees the right of individuals to own firearms is moot. Is that true?
And what about the term liberty? Just what does that word mean? To whom? Why?
ŌĆ£The American Right is fond of putting itself inside the minds of AmericaŌĆÖs Founders and intuiting what was their ŌĆśoriginal intentŌĆÖ in writing the U.S. Constitution and its early additions, like the Second AmendmentŌĆÖs ŌĆśright to bear arms,ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ writes investigative reporter Robert Parry. ŌĆ£But, surely, James Madison and the others werenŌĆÖt envisioning people with modern weapons mowing down children in a movie theater or a shopping mall or now a kindergarten.ŌĆØ
Abusing the Second Amendment
Historian Garry Wills wrote: ŌĆ£The recent effort to find a new meaning for the Second Amendment comes from the failure of appeals to other sources as a warrant for the omnipresence of guns of all types in private hands. Easy access to all these guns is hard to justify in pragmatic terms, as a matter of social policy. ŌĆ"
ŌĆ£That is why the gun advocates appeal, above pragmatism and common sense, to a supposed sacred right enshrined in a document Americans revereŌĆ"We must put up with our world-record rates of homicide, suicide, and accidental shootings because, whether we like it or not, the Constitution tells us to. Well, it doesnŌĆÖt.ŌĆØ
Few Americans know much about U.S. history, or specifically know history in relation to guns and the gun control issue and they do not do their homework ŌĆö a comprehensive review of the related history.
The American public generally has the reputation for being anti-intellectual, ill acquainted with scholarship and considered to have short memories and even shorter attention span. Indeed, Americans appear to have given up reading altogether.
The result is that millions of Americans have embraced the dangerous ŌĆō and false ŌĆō notion that the Framers of the U.S. Constitution incorporated the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights so an armed population could fight the government that the Framers had just created. This belief is not accidental ŌĆö it has been deliberately taught, the result not of serious scholarship and study but the result of an agenda.
The gun industry, an interested party of the first order in the individual right interpretation of the Second Amendment, has averaged about $3.5 billion a year in inflation-adjusted terms going back to the mid-1990s. Journalist Lee Fang reports in The Nation magazine: ŌĆ£For every gun or package of ammunition sold at participating stores, a dollar is donated to the NRA.ŌĆØ
Too many Americans, frustrated and confused by a host of issues, and perhaps easily given to irrational fears and paranoia reinforced by a shallow and narrow frame of reference, have willingly embraced the RightŌĆÖs well-funded propaganda and attempt to re-interpret the Second Amendment and re-write American history. They are all too willing to embrace anti-government hysteria and succumb to manipulation.
As Parry writes: ŌĆ£TodayŌĆÖs American Right is drunk on some very bad history, which is as dangerous as it is false.ŌĆØ The Right has been repeating lies about the Second Amendment and U.S. history for several decades, but as Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said, ŌĆ£Repetition does not transform a lie into the truth.ŌĆØ
Americans are being cheated by a Right that is trying to reduce American history to simplistic, comic-book levels and steal our history right out from under us. (Revisionism can come in ŌĆ£LeftŌĆØ clothing as well.)
Longstanding Precedents
Few Americans know that there are two opposing views of the Second Amendment: the collective right model and the individual model. They are unaware that the first view prevailed for almost one hundred years, that it was not only widely accepted it was uncontroversial.
Professor Robert J. Spitzer discovered in the course of his research for the ŌĆ£2000 Symposium on the Second AmendmentŌĆØ that from the time U.S. law review articles first began to be indexed in 1887 until 1960, all law review articles dealing with the Second Amendment endorsed the collective right model.
The first law review article asserting an individualŌĆÖs right to own firearms for self-defense (or sport) did not even appear until 1960. Eleven articles discussing the Second Amendment were published during this 73-year period. All endorsed the collective right model.
ŌĆ£If there is such a thing as settled constitutional law,ŌĆØ wrote law professor Carl T. Bogus in 2000, ŌĆ£the Second Amendment may have been its quintessential example.ŌĆØ The United States Supreme Court addressed the Amendment three times in 1876, 1886, and 1939 and on each occasion held that it granted the people a right to bear arms only within the militia. [See United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1876); Presser v. Illinois, 116 U.S. 252 (1886);
United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939).]
The Second Amendment was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights. As passed by Congress, it read: ŌĆ£A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.ŌĆØ
The Right (and those who have bought into their argument) would appear to completely dismiss the first phrase relating to the militia, the phrase that gives the leading, primary meaning of the sentence and to which the second phrase relates. The word ŌĆ£militiaŌĆØ is defined in the Constitution itself:
ŌĆ£The Congress shall have Power . . . To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.ŌĆØ [Article 1, ┬¦ 8.]
Law professor Carl T. Bogus points out that the founders disagreed about how the militia ought to be organized: For example, ŌĆ£Madison favored a universal militia while [Alexander] Hamilton argued for a select militia. However, they agreed as a constitutional matter to leave this up to Congress; and the Constitution expressly gives Congress the power to organize the militia. Thus, the militia is what Congress decides it is, regardless of whether it differs from an eighteenth-century model. Currently, the militia is indisputably the National Guard because Congress has so decided.ŌĆØ
Twisted Quotes
Historian WillsŌĆÖs lengthy and scholarly argument in 1995 was not to deny any private right to own and use firearms. He simply maintains that Madison ŌĆ£did not address that question when drafting his amendment.ŌĆØ He suggests that gun advocates lobbied using shoddy scholarship that included quotations that were ŌĆ£truncated, removed from context, twisted, or applied to a different debate from that over the Second AmendmentŌĆØ in order to find ŌĆ£new meaning for the Second AmendmentŌĆØ ŌĆō in effect, to sell the American public the idea that there is a ŌĆ£sacred right enshrined in a document Americans revere.ŌĆØ
It has been suggested that the basis for the majority opinions of the Court in the 2008 and 2010 cases that provided support for the individual model (in 2008, for the first time) is also based on questionable scholarship and intellectual leaps. It should be noted that in both cases the Court was divided 5-to-4. [See District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008); McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010).]
Reporter Parry emphasizes: ŌĆ£The reality was that the Framers wrote the Constitution and added the Second Amendment with the goal of creating a strong central government with a citizens-based military force capable of putting down insurrections, not to enable or encourage uprisings. The key Framers, after all, were mostly men of means with a huge stake in an orderly society, the likes of George Washington and James Madison.
ŌĆ£The men who gathered in Philadelphia in 1787 werenŌĆÖt precursors to FranceŌĆÖs Robespierre or RussiaŌĆÖs Leon Trotsky, believers in perpetual revolutions. In fact, their work on the Constitution was influenced by the experience of ShaysŌĆÖ Rebellion in western Massachusetts in 1786, a populist uprising that the weak federal government, under the Articles of Confederation, lacked an army to defeat.ŌĆØ
Law professor Geoffrey R. Stone strongly suggests that: ŌĆ£It is time for opponents of gun control to stop mindlessly shouting ŌĆśThe Second Amendment!!ŌĆÖ as if that ends the discussion. It does not. Just as there is no First Amendment right to falsely yell fire in a crowded theatre, there is no Second Amendment right to carry an AK-47 there. And that is only the beginning of what the Second Amendment does not guarantee.ŌĆØ
We citizens donŌĆÖt have to become constitutional lawyers or scholars on the Second Amendment. We do need to take the time to do some basic homeworkŌĆōand not be intimidated by right-wing bullies and their deep-pocketed propaganda campaigns. We need to reach a comfort level as to what is known, what is not known, what is debatable, and what is a misrepresentation or outright lie.
The Right has given us nothing but destruction and death. Irrational right-wing extremists and their so-called ŌĆ£conservatismŌĆØ have transformed the United States into a nightmare.
They have given us not simply extraordinarily bad manners but conscience-less coarseness; distracted us with nihilistic obstructionism that prevents our being able to effectively solve major national problems; made us look like backward, ignorant, unworthy and reckless fools before the entire world; militarized our culture with an authoritarianism that would echo the Third Reich; robbed us of our joy, our peace of mind, our dignity and our self-respect; de-civilized us with fear, violence and ugliness; ŌĆ£drenched us in Bloodshed;ŌĆØ indoctrinated citizens with misrepresentations, distortions, and blatant lies; attempted to make superstition respectable and madness the norm; polarized our national community; and they want to steal our past, our American history as well.
Alternative Reality
I am on the side of the collective right argument, the argument that the Second Amendment does not protect individual gun ownership, an argument supported by credible real scholarship by real scholars that supports thecollective right argument.
I emphasize the word real because it is clear that too many Americans live in an alternative reality that confuses belief with facts, and are unable to distinguish scholarship from fanciful propaganda and scholars from lobbyists.
We may even have members of the U.S. Supreme Court who have succumbed to what is nothing less than a National Rifle Association (NRA) and gun lobby sales pitch that fits their right-wing, corporatist, authoritarian mentality.
I believe too many of the American public, politicians and mainstream media have been hoodwinked by the radical Right, the billion-dollar gun industry and the NRA. Yes, we are over 300 million individuals, but we are individuals who do not live in isolation but share a society.
On a personal note: I know what it is like to face a 22 revolver in the hands of a 9-year-old boy (reputed to have been disturbed) just two inches off my forehead (in the U.S. Virgin Islands in the early ŌĆś70s). Believe me, I remember what the color ŌĆ£gun metalŌĆØ looks like and know the sensation of feeling that all the blood has left my body. I want to see strong, sensible gun regulations.
I want the country of my birth to regain its sanity.

Marcus Mumford takes a bite out of the Grammy for album of the year, which British folk group Mumford & Sons garnered for their second disc, Babel. Photo: Jason Merritt, Getty Images
Most of the talk going into Sunday's Grammy Awards at Staples Center centered on R&B newcomer Frank Ocean. Would the buzz over not just his evident talent but his coming out in a genre not exactly known for gay stars help make him the night's big winner?
Apparently not. Ocean, one of several artists with six nominations apiece ahead of the 55th annual ceremony, wound up among a handful of acts to claim two prizes in one of the most topsy-turvy, spread-about Grammys in recent memory.
Both of his wins were notable for such a fast-rising career yet neither came in major categories. He shared best rap/sung collaboration with Jay-Z and Kanye West for "No Church in the Wild" and scored the urban contemporary album honor, a newly amalgamated category, for his widely (and rightly) hailed disc Channel Orange.
Instead, diminutive Dan Auerbach, bearded ginger and unassumingly soulful frontman of the Black Keys, led the night, racking up four notices in all without snagging a single top trophy. Three of those wins – for rock album (El Camino), rock song and rock performance (the latter two for "Lonely Boy") – also belong to Patrick Carney, the duo's bespectacled drumming half.
Their tally ties them for second place with Jay, Kanye, Australian star Gotye (whose inescapable "Somebody That I Used to Know" was named record of the year) and Grammy's go-to electronic music figure, Skrillex, who once again swept the dance fields. Auerbach's fourth nod came as producer of the year, non-classical, while his behind-the-boards work provided an assist to another winner, Dr. John's Locked Down, which earned the Hall of Famer his sixth statuette, this time for best blues album.
Big winners not winning big prizes isn't anything new at the Grammys, though usually left-field leaders emerge from jazz and classical realms. What's weirder, if happily so, is how folk sensation Mumford & Sons walked off with album of the year for their platinum-selling sophomore work Babel.
It's the second such win in a row for Brits, Adele's monster smash 21 having swept last year. Yet that same M&S disc failed to win in its genre category, losing the Americana race to veteran favorite Bonnie Raitt, who earned her 10th title.
"I was up against all these guys who had much bigger records and a bigger splash," the 63-year-old commented on her win for Slipstream, having sung similar praises of Mumford, the Lumineers and the like during pre-telecast proceedings at Nokia Theatre, when 70 of the 81 awards were handed out. "It makes an old girl feel good."
It isn't an undeserved win – just not a logical one. Perhaps it was the recently added umbrella tag "Americana" that threw off voters, who opted for a roots-preserving legend over four English upstarts. How else to explain the inconsistency? (Mumford's only other nod, by the way, was for best long-form music video, for the film Big Easy Express.)
The Black Keys' rock wins, after all – each one trumping a legend who looms larger than Raitt: Bruce Springsteen – all made sense given their nominations in top match-ups. Similarly, song and record of the year nominee Kelly Clarkson was an obvious favorite to win best pop vocal album (which she nabbed for Stronger), while it made sense that Gotye and guest vocalist Kimbra took pop duo/group performance over fun., the breakout trio whose ebullient anthem "We Are Young" was declared song of the year.
Gotye's Making Mirrors winning best alternative music album, however, over far stronger and decidedly edgier works by Fiona Apple and Tom Waits is another insult to the already rocky history of that particular award. There ought to be a Grammy bylaw disqualifying candidates from that category should they also be up for top honors or pop prizes.
Less surprising – but still something of a snub toward Ocean – is the best new artist win by fun., the first act to score nominations in all four major categories since Christopher Cross' inexplicable trouncing in 1981.
They merited song of the year, frontman Nate Ruess displaying some humility over the accolade: "I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote the chorus to this song," he joked. "This is in HD, everyone can see our faces, and we are not very young."
But though the group mostly lives up to its moniker, fun. doesn't show half as much promise as Ocean. So what's up with him being shut out of his three biggest competitions?

If laughter is the best medicine, seniors in
Every Thursday morning, a group of fitness focused seniors participate in an hour long session of laughter yoga. A chorus of hearty chuckles can be heard echoing from the fitness room at Onslow County Seniors Services as Instructor Edie Yaney guides her students through exercises based on the philosophy of "acting happiness."
Yaney uses a series of laughter exercises with deep diaphragmatic breathing that is safe and easy for any cognitive or physical limitation. According to the Laughter Yoga International website, extended hearty laughter is known to increase muscle movement, mobility and boost the immune system. It also increases disease fighting cells and proteins and triggers the release of endorphins, known as the body's natural painkillers.
"Basically, the body cannot tell the difference between a real laugh and a fake laugh, so just a fake laugh will do the body good," Yaney said. "It's good for high blood pressure and you're getting aerobics but not exactly like an aerobics class."
Laughter yoga was invented by Dr. Madan Kataria, a physician from
"I've had seven or eight people come in, and it hasn't become a big group yet but I have people asking about it," she said. "For some people to fake laugh is not comfortable, but so far I have not had that problem. They have said it was something that was kind of hard to do, but once you get in room everyone will be doing same things as you."
Anyone can laugh for no reason without using humor, jokes, or comedy. The laughter is used as an exercise in a group with eye contact and childlike playfulness, which soon turns into the real thing. The laughter naturally initiates yogic breathing, or pranayama.
Laughter yoga begins with students seated in chairs for a ground dance with Indian music playing in the background. The class pushes energy away from the body with their arms while releasing a chant of "Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha" combined with hand claps and a several shouts of "Yay." Laughter exercises such as walking down an imaginary fashion runway or spreading "laughter cream" on their faces gets the participants engaged and causes infectious laughs. Yaney also asks her students to visualize scenarios that would typically incite frustration or anger and replace those emotions with intentional laughter.
"There's one exercise that I call hot soup laughter, where you take a sip of your soup and when you realize it's hot you start fanning with hands and laughing for about 5 to 10 minutes," Yaney said. "There's lots of different ones that you can do. You can take anything and turn into laughter."
"I'm a diabetic, and when I sit at home the refrigerator calls me," Peck said. "When I'm here and among other people, I'm not eating and it's great exercise. I feel like I'm moving every part of my body."
As for Batiste, she enjoys trying a new activity that keeps a smile on her face throughout the day.
"It seemed fun and it's something different to do," Batiste said. "It's a little harder when someone tells you laugh, but the more you do it the easier it gets. It gets you going in the morning and your heart rate up and it gets your mind off of other things."
Laughter yoga has been used in aged care facilities around the world to combat loneliness, depression and the cognitive effects of dementia, Alzheimer's and other diseases. In addition to the senior population, laughter yoga has been used in groups for cancer patients, prisons inmates and people with physical and mental disabilities. Yaney said that laughter yoga has helped students with physical disabilities keep up with the crowd. She hopes that more seniors take advantage of the exercise and participate in a full hour of childlike fun.
"It's good to see the ones who can't attend my other classes because of health issues come back because they can choose to do something with minimal stress on the body," Yaney said. "It's kind of something that you have to attend, really see what's going on and take a chance on it. It's an interesting class and what starts out as a fake laugh turns into real laughter."
Residents 55 and older with a doctor's approval can participate in Laughter Yoga every Thursday from to at Onslow Senior Services in the Onslow County Multipurpose Complex,

A 23-year-old American citizen snatched a security guard's gun and
opened fire in an Eilat hotel on Friday morning, leaving one person dead
and three others suffering from shock.Two people were evacuated to the
Joseftal Medical Center. The New York man was in Israel as part
of an Oranim exchange program, supported by the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI)
and was fired from
his internship in the hotel kitchen a day before the shooting. He arrived in the morning hours
to the hotel's kitchen, where he began arguing with an employee. The man grabbed a gun from a
security guard who tried to break up the fight, and started shooting, killing his fellow kitchen
employee. Police later identified the victim as Armando Abed from
Mi'ilya, aged 33.Police said that the gunman subsequently
barricaded himself in the kitchen and they deployed special patrol
units. Officers conducted negotiations with the shooter and said that he
didn't have hostages.About an hour after the incident began,
the Counterterrorism Unit shot and killed the gunman in the kitchen.
Shots were fired back and forth but no police were injured in the raid.JTA contributed to this report
