Can Scientists Believe? Some Examples of the Attitudes of Scientists to Religion edited by Sir Nevill Mott, James & James, pp 182, £21
Born in 1905, Nevill Mott studied physics and mathematics at Cambridge, Gottingen and Copenhagen during that revolutionary period when quantum mechanics was transforming the physical sciences. Until the age of about 50, when he was head of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, he had little interest in religion. His curiosity was then aroused, following an invitation to speak at the university church of Great St Mary's, on the theme of science and religion. After reading some theology, he concluded that 'truth, as we understand it in science, and truth in religion, are not the same thing'. He began to attend his college chapel and Anglican churches elsewhere, and became acquainted with the ideas of the demythologising theologian Rudolf Bultmann.
Mott's faith is, however, rather remote from the ...

According to a researcher (sic) at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.

Ugandan women meet with BRAC community organizer
BRAC's "microfinance multiplied" model enables women to use their loans to increase their incomes and build assets while stimulating economic and social development in their community. At the center of this model are groups of women that meet weekly with a BRAC community organizer who makes loans and collects repayments. These groups are the primary distribution channel for technical assistance to their communities. For example, BRAC trains some women to become model farmers, who in turn teach good farming practices to other members of their village. Other group members are trained as health promoters who share their knowledge and sell their services in their community.

Bill and Giuliana Rancic: A Second Baby Is "in the Works"
Bill and Giuliana Rancic are baby-crazy! It hasn't even been two months since their son Duke was born, and the reality-star couple are already planning for baby #2.
"We've got a few embryos on ice. They're ready to go!" Giuliana tells Life & Style. "A lot of people have one kid and it's enough. But for us, we're just having so much fun that we'd love to have another child."
Bill cBrian Lindensmith/Splash Newsonfirms, saying, "The wheels are in motion."
Because of Giuliana's fertility setbacks and breast cancer diagnosis, the 38-year-old says they'd have to rely on surrogacy again but reveals that they might enlist the same surrogate as before, saying, "She's just a good person."
Best of luck to the couple. If they want multiple babies per year, hey, more power to 'em!

FEEDING wild birds has become a near universal pastime in backyards and on balconies around the world. But now comes evidence that this can spread disease among the very creatures it is supposed to benefit. Will bird tables go the way of another simple pleasure - throwing bread to ducks, which is increasingly frowned upon for causing a disease called angel wing? Next month a conference in London will weigh up the pros and cons - and thankfully it's mostly good news for feeding garden birds (see "Garden bird feeders spread diseases"). Millions of squirrels will be mightily relieved.

Finished watching Frida last night. It was somewhat interesting and I guess Im glad I saw it. Thats about all I can say for it. There was a lot of acting talent on display but I didnt find the story all that interesting. The real Frida Kahlo was apparently quite a character.
Fun site for the wordsmith in you.
Have some computer maintenance to do at Moms this morning. It should go pretty smooth. I cleaned up a good deal of it last week.
I sometimes wonder if everyone in this part of the world is a complete idiot. Probably just the ones we hear from. I like this quote: We do not use the terms Christian invaders or Jewish occupiers, so why should the Western media feel comfortable with Muslim terrorists? First, thats wrong. Those terms are used all the time. Also thrown around are words like infidels, crusaders, and jihad. Assuming Arab civilization wishes to avert their headlong rush towards all out war with the West, I suggest they find a different tone. Big assumption? Maybe.

A list I would not attempt. -Rob
Im of the opinion now that we have the makings of a great Super Bowl Sunday. Carolina and New England both play very physical. Carolinas game is familiar. Ball control offense anchored by a very good running game and a great defense. New Englands game is more of a whatever it takes kind of offense but also a great defense. Both teams play good on special teams. The difference is Tom Brady as New England will win, 21-13.
I like both quarterbacks in this game. First, they're both very likeable. Jake Delhomme is an ex-Saint and he is also from Louisiana. He finally got a chance to play somewhere and hes making the most of it. Carolina is a good fit for him and hes a good fit for them. Ill be pulling for them, Sunday. That said, I just love the way Tom Brady plays. He plays smart. Hes the quarterback I would want on my team. He will probably never win a stat championship or break any passing records but who cares? He was compared recently to Joe Montana. For my money, thats a valid comparison. If Im starting a team and I can choose my quarterback, Tom Brady is my guy. I would take him over the co-MVPs, Steve McNair and Peyton Manning.

I started watching Keen Eddie last week. Its a new show on Bravo. UltimateTV automatically records it for me. The show is totally absurd and that is probably why I like it. When I watch TV, it is purely for entertainment.
Were still in January and DVD stores are already taking orders for Kill Bill Volume One but at their regular prices. This DVD is scheduled for release in April. Give me a break. If youre going to hold my money or make me commit to something almost 3 months off, give me something in return. Full price just doesnt seem to be enough. Im going to get it but theres no advantage to ordering now.

I got a comment spam last night. It was just one and its the first one thats made it through in probably six weeks. It was posted at about 6:45PM to a message that was 3 months old. When I logged on this morning, I removed it so it had 10 hours on the site. I am pretty certain that no one read it or clicked on their link. It took me 30 seconds to remove it and perhaps another 30 seconds to submit it to the clearinghouse so I doubt anyone will have to bother with him again. So why do these guys continue? I think theyre wasting more of their own time than they are of mine. Configuring their program/robot/whatever and setting up a domain must take more time and be more work than the 60 seconds it took and the ease it was for me to banish him forever. His comment was, Ok, I will sign your blog. I really love your site. I love you, too, twit.
On another twit front, I must have received 75 of those Novarg virus emails since yesterday morning both at home and at work. Anyone who says, People should know better is simply new to the planet. Advanced users, intermediate users, and a good many experienced users probably know better but those groups comprise perhaps 5% of the computing population. This kind of virus will be effective until that 5% group figures out how to prevent it.

Watched Adaptation last night. My dad had said it was weird. Thats a word for it. I liked it although it had me squirming. It has one of those characters that makes one wrong move after another and you see every one of them coming. Similar to A Simple Plan for me. Mesmerizing the first time I watched it, absolutely know I missed some details, but cannot bear to watch it again any time soon. Maybe in a few years. For both of them.

Will have to cut this one short. The rain is coming down in buckets here in Bush and the wind is starting to pick up. The next thing, of course, will be a loss of electricity. Country life is just grand.
After I dropped off my nephew at my sisters house last night, I started thinking about our country life. Her house is not all that remote but she does have an element of seclusion that our place has somewhat lost. Her local government is about to do some civic improvements in her area that will probably ruin that for her, too. Too bad.
Saw How to Deal last night. Quite a few very good performances but not a very good movie. The boyfriend is a loser and I just couldn't care about him.

Instead of a what I did today entry, this is a what I hope to do today entry.
Upgrading Eudora (My email program) this morning to the latest version. Ive been using Eudora for about five years now. Its very good software and Ive always liked it. That just about every virus ever conceived the last few years is written to attack Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express is the best reason I have for avoiding those products although I pretty much have to use them at work. Update: Done and WOW!
Going to work on Moms computer this morning. Ill be adding and removing programs and just trying to tweak it a little to make it work better. Her computer is newer than mine but I was really disappointed in its performance last week when I was there. I didnt have time to fix everything. Dont know if Ill fix everything today but I certainly hope to fix some things. Update: Got a good bit of it done. Should be able to finish next weekend. It's running quite a bit better from my point of view.
Going to the French Quarter this afternoon. Going to grab a modest ($12 or less) lunch and just do the tourist thing. Ill hit some shops, maybe find some live music somewhere, and take some pictures, too. The weather yesterday was fabulous. Hoping for more of the same today. Update: Modest budget notwithstanding, I ended up at Landry's Seafood House on Decatur St. I wasn't really in the mood for seafood so I got a surprisingly great Blackened Chicken Salad. Didn't know it was a chain. Landry is a fairly common local name.
And, finally, if Im up to it, I may attend a birthday party this afternoon for my niece.

I saw 5 minutes or so of Howard Dean with Diane Sawyer last night. Thats about all I could stand. I really cant figure out how he ever got elected to anything. I had been told before my first and only visit to New England that New Englanders were short with out-of-towners. I didnt find that to be the case except for maybe one apple farmer in western Massachusetts. Thats about the same ratio as everywhere else. Not everyone in a people person job is a people person. I found Howard Dean to be short last night. Undoubtedly, there must be more to him than that but that is all I saw. I dont think he has to smile and be in good humor all of the time. In fact, Id rather the President wasnt. It makes me uneasy. Hes a little too angry, though. Deans poor wife was smiling and nodding at what he was saying but my feeling is that she surely wanted to be somewhere else. As baseball fans say: Stick a fork in him, hes done.
I think thats good news for everyone. The President is still in the drivers seat but he may have to disengage the cruise control.

Im finding the music industry versus file swappers war on a par with the Major League Baseball owners versus MLB Players Union war. I fall in behind one side even though both sides stink.
In Major League Baseball, I always side with the players. Im not saying theyre not a ridiculous bunch, Im just saying they have been right in principle in every negotiation to date. That millionaire players and billionaire owners need to squabble over an enormous cash cow is about as ludicrous as you can get.
File-swapping is tantamount to receiving stolen goods. File-swappers want something but they dont want to pay for it. All of their rationalizations and Quixotic justifications aside, thats all there is to it. Most, if not all, claims of "fair use" are silly. Before this technology was available, you had to go into a store and steal a record to get it without paying for it. The record companies are on a course of pursuing the worst offenders and their methods may seem heavy-handed to some. I feel no sympathy for the ones caught up in the RIAAs dragnet. If it turns out a 12yr old girl downloaded 14,000 songs, maybe that kid should take up another hobby. The parents gave her the computer, I assume, so they can take responsibility. All of that said, music CDs are outrageously over-priced. I know that because I bought every one I own.

Two of the things I wanted to do after the holidays was to start eating better and start sleeping better. Sleeping better is just a matter of dragging my butt to bed earlier but eating better has been a challenge. One of the reasons eating better is challenging is because I am a bit of a glutton, I think. There are certain things I will eat until it is gone or I am sick, whichever comes first. It doesnt seem to matter how much of it there is. Here are a few:
M&M Peanuts - 2 pounds, 6 pounds, it doesnt matter. I eat them all or I get sick trying.
Bacon - Crispy, chewy, plain, smoked, turkey, doesnt matter. Never gotten sick on it but never had leftovers, either.
Kelloggs Corn Pops - Ive had this addiction since I was a kid (They were called Sugar Pops then). No Generation X parent would dare buy their kids anything called Sugar Pops now so they changed the name. That's all they changed, though.
Panne meat - Commonly referred to as veal cutlets but theyre really breaded and fried round steaks. Hot, cold, room temperature, doesnt matter. Never have leftovers.

That has Saints fans a little upset at the current ownership/coach/gm for squandering the talent theyve had here over the years. Rams QB, Marc Bulger, was also a Saints draft choice. I wish them well and Ill be rooting for Jake and the Panthers next week even though I really like Tom Brady and the way he plays.
Theres plenty to be mad about for Saints fans but I dont disagree with the QB choice. Aaron Brooks has more talent than Jake or Marc. The Saints are squandering his talent, too. His best games were played when they werent asking him to do so much. Hes over-coached and I dont know if they can undo the damage now. Still, its worth another years effort. My unsolicited, unwanted advice to the Saints: A) Totally concentrate on the defense next year and B) turn the offense loose and let them play.

This is the 300th entry here at the CrabAppleLane Blog. If I was still using Greymatter, I suspect Id be running into trouble about now. Not a big deal here but 300 is a significant number elsewhere.
In baseball:
A .300 hitter = All-star
300 wins = Hall of Fame pitcher
In football:
300 rushing yards will break a record in the NFL. Its only been done a few times in the NCAA.
300 wins = Hall of Fame coach.
In bowling:
A 300 game = Perfection

Had a stint manning a booth here yesterday. The show is getting a little better every year from my point of view. This is a labor of love for the entrants. The prize money that the winners receive doesnt cover their expenses. And it doesnt begin to cover their time and energy. Theyre proud of their work and, hopefully for them, thats reward enough.
After 5 straight years of having to write two large checks at tax time, I think Ill get refunds this year but it also looks like I overdid it because the refunds will be much larger than I wanted them to be.

Ilyka has an excellent entry here about street smarts. It had me thinking at work yesterday. Its about how and why people should be alert and aware of their surroundings. Caution, even to the point of abruptness or rudeness, is the gist of her position. Theres mostly good but some bad in taking that posture. Most of us dont have the capacity to always tell whats on someones mind. Thats where street smarts come in. The general feeling is that to err on the side of caution is the worst that can happen. Better safe than sorry. We hear that all the time.
There is a dynamic now, which was the starting point of her entry, where people who are viewed with suspicion are taking offense at it. Some person named S-train touched on it but used a poor example (Comparing perceived street thugs with corporate criminals). Sorry, but threats to life and limb in the present far outweigh threats to future retirement nest eggs.
So someone asks you for change for a dollar or if you know where he can get fresh eggs. Youre concerned about his fashion choices, his accent, his body language, or whatever it is that gets you into your super caution mode. Terse answers may not be the best choice. He may not have had bad intentions when he asked the question but after the terse response maybe he does.
Can we be polite or helpful without being inviting? Unfortunately, the answer to that question doesnt rest with us.

I answered a poll question this morning at nfl.com and I also answered one at superbowl.com. Both had server problems and I couldnt see the results. Except for the fact that I was curious about the results, the failure was comforting to me. That their sites fail now and again despite the vast resources at their disposal tells me that this is just a technology thing, not a money thing. For someone, like me, who has limited resources to use on my website, its good to know that my site wont let me down because of the money. Not everything in life is like that.
There are millions of sites, billions of pages, millions of servers and webmasters, some spending thousands on hardware and probably even more in man hours down to some who are spending nothing or almost nothing, and everyone is tied together into a network where no one is in charge. This Ive said before: The more I know and learn about the internet, the more Im amazed it works at all.

It looks like this weeks AFC Playoff game in Foxboro will have frozen tundra. That offers neither team any advantage. New England will win because they have a better defense.

We have big flies in the house right now. I thought wed killed all of them but one or two show up every day when you least want to see them (I cant imagine when Id most want to see them but thats an entry for another day). When they get really big, they fly slower and are less afraid of people or theyre simply more reckless/suicidal in their flying. In other words, they are even more annoying. This is when youre most likely to have one fly into your ear or your mouth or even land and get stuck in your food. My mission for today is to send every one of them to Fly Heaven.

I like having very few plans on a weekend. Freedom is a wonderful thing. However, I get a bit stir crazy when I do nothing so I am a bit conflicted on that. I am an anti-procrastination crusader at work but a world-class procrastinator at home so Im a bit conflicted on that, too. One of my procrastination techniques is to make a list. Here is my category list of to do things. It should be noted that all of these lists are at least a mile long.
1) Things I can/should do that require nothing but time and energy. I have to tackle at least one or two of these today and tomorrow or Ill be cranky Monday morning.
2) Things I can/should do that require time, energy, and money. I can happily put these off this weekend. No money.
3) Things I can/should do but cant stand the thought of actually doing them. I can put these off this weekend but they accrue interest.
4) Things I want to do but dont have the money. This list is the longest.
5) Things I want to do but dont have the time or energy. This list is the shortest but still a mile long.

Quote from said blog: I must go now as it's 15:05 which means it's time to try and work out why so many people come here via spanking related searches."
The web is a phenomenal thing. The various web spiders scour this site fairly regularly. I have no idea why. Certain phrases, which I thought were fairly common, when searched for at Google or Yahoo, have a CrabAppleLane page listed on the first page near the top. On the one hand, to mention them here would be a bit of a tawdry way to get more traffic. On the other hand, bandwidth is not really a concern here and probably never will be so Im really just left to ponder what Id do about it if it was. Go mention those phrases on other sites, particularly those looking for any kind of traffic, hoping to knock this site off of the first page? Just bite the bullet and pay for more bandwidth?
My brother-in-law and I got caught up in the rubbernecking traffic this caused Wednesday night. He was stuck in the traffic ahead of me and called me trying to divert me away from it. Alas, I was already on the bridge and the police were not allowing us to turn around. The Causeway is the longest bridge in the world at 24 miles. There are turnarounds every three miles or so. I travel the northbound side of it just about every night. The incident was at about 10 miles out on the Southbound side. That side was closed and there was a wrecker, a fire truck, an ambulance, and a lot of police cars with flashing lights. There was no reason whatsoever for traffic to slow down on the northbound side except that everyone wanted to look. This is a phenomenon I could do without.

About Pete Rose: In my opinion, he is now where he should be. Outside baseball looking in. He should NOT be reinstated. He bet on his own team. Not every game, of course, just 52 or so. Thats the whole thing in a nutshell. He says it did not impact how he managed. Why should anyone believe that?
This is absolute: Gambling cannot influence the way baseball managers manage a game or the way players play a game. NO exceptions.
I suspect that did happen but we have no way of knowing and Roses word is simply not good enough. A ban from baseball is proper punishment. I do not understand people who think otherwise but I do know it is the majority opinion.
Sloppy win last night for the Tigers but it was still a great win. If they had scored on every opportunity, theyd have made a strong case for Undisputed National Champion. A shared title sucks but it would be equally unfair to deny USC their due. Oklahoma looked overmatched for most of the game. LSU mistakes are the only thing that kept them in it and you wonder how the Sooners won 12 games prior to their last two. Strength of schedule??? I dont think so. The BCS will get its much-needed overhaul this offseason but that is only a band-aid for this gaping wound. It needs to be abolished. A playoff system needs to be installed. The bowls should be rewards for the also-rans that had good seasons. All but one or two of them are anyway.

Here in Louisiana, there is only one story today: The Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. It is more commonly referred to as The LSU Game here. Its LSU versus Oklahoma for the BCS National Championship. Unless the Tigers overwhelm Oklahoma in every way, the winner will not overtake USC in the AP poll and will undoubtedly have to share the title with them. Neither team should concern themselves with the possibility. The Sooners will not win the AP poll under any circumstance. Too many people feel they dont even belong in this game. Place me in that camp.
It says here that the Tigers will win, 31-21. It wont be enough to overtake the Trojans in the AP but a shared national title is better than no national title.
The city and state are bursting at the seams with excitement. This is as close to a Saints Super Bowl appearance simulation as were likely to get here in Louisiana for the foreseeable future. The Saints appearing in a Super Bowl in the Superdome is the only thing that might ever top this.

I have a friend who won $100k in a Coca-Cola contest about 20 years ago. That wasnt the only thing she won. Entering sweepstakes was a hobby of hers. Over many years, she won quite a few things. Whenever she received a sweepstakes in the mail, she sifted through the convoluted instructions and entered. The instructions are designed that way so you will pretty much have to read the entire contents in order to enter. She rarely bought anything but junk mail volume then was heavy and hers was even heavier because of all of the contests she entered. The rule is that the more likely you are to enter/buy, the more mailing lists youll find yourself on. Essentially, it was like having a job. Spread out over the number of years and hours spent on entering these things, I think she might have been better off throwing the damn things away and taking a part-time job at the local grocery store. I admit it. Im a cynic sometimes.
Imagine doing that with the spam we receive. Before I went online this morning, I last checked email about 11 hours ago. In those 11 hours, I received 46 spam emails (Spam Assassin killed all but three of them) and I suspect at least 10 of them purported to be contests of some kind (Many of them said I already won). The more you respond to those things, the more they send you and they do so in an exponential way. There was a time I did respond to some of them. It gets out of hand in a hurry.

We got off early yesterday and I got home when there was still some daylight left. I have done almost no yardwork in the last two months so I decided to prune my three Bradford pear trees. This involved cutting the branches and dragging them to a place in the yard where I will burn them at a later date when they dry out a bit. I also took some of those cuttings and potted them in the hopes of producing a couple of trees. I hope to plant about 5 more this year. They are gorgeous. I could not get over how badly winded I got doing that hours worth of work but I feel good this morning so I will do some more yardwork today. I dont need to be in high school wrestling shape again but I would like to be in much better shape than Im in now. It is not a resolution (I dont do resolutions) but it is a priority for 2004.
Can I just say that Tracy Morgan is one of the least talented people ever to grace Saturday Night Live yet NBC thinks he needs his own show? The only one in that entire cast that might interest me with their own show is Maya Rudolph.

PlayStation's president of worldwide studios Shuhei Yoshida has ruled out the possibility of offering PS4 owners the option to disable the DualShock 4's light bar.
Yoshida addressed fans via Twitter after the exec was quizzed on the likelihood of a "future update" that may offer the ability to turn off the illuminated panel on the upper surface of the controller for games that make no use of it.
"No," replied Yoshida, in response to the question.
Common complaints from players and critics include the light bar reflecting in the TV screen and the controller's relatively short battery life (around 7 hours) compared with the DualShock 3.
When it was later implied such a feature would help extend the controller's battery life, Yoshida added, "The LEDs do not use much battery".
The light bar's primary function is to serve as a trackable beacon for the PlayStation Camera, which provides motion controls similarly to the glowing orb of the PlayStation Move controller for PS3.
Without the camera and a game that supports it the light bar rendered largely unused, with few titles putting it to use in other ways (Killzone Shadow Fall changes the LED's color in correspondence with player health).
PS4 sales topped 4.2 million units in 2013, Sony claimed last week. Having debuted in North America on November 15 and in Europe two weeks later, PS4 is now available in 53 countries and territories worldwide. Combined retail and digital PS4 software sales have surpassed 9.7 million, said the firm.
A poster on neogaf performed battery tests with and without LED
According to @yosp we are going to have to live with the DS4 LED. Even with multiple tests showing the LED uses twice as much power with it on, on an idle controller:
With LED on .08A (stable)
With LED off . 03A to .04A (variable)
The DS4 has a 1000mAh Li-ion battery therefore the idle battery life would be calculated as:
LED enabled: (1000/80) = 12.5 hours
LED disabled: (1000/35) to (1000/30) = 28.6 hours
Completely disabling the LED is a difficult task and like others I've just kept electrical tape over my LED as I find it distracting and breaks immersion on top of the reduced battery life. Its a shame we can't simply have a PS4 OS choice given PS4 developers and @yosp said that developers can turn it off if they choose.

Adam Carolla sued by childhood friend Donny Misraje over published photos
There's nothing pretty about former friends at war, but unfortunately that's the position podcaster Adam Carolla finds himself in. He's being sued by a friend from his childhood that he's known for 30 years.
Donny Misraje alleges he owns the copyrights to two photos Carolla used in his 2012 memoir, "Not Taco Bell Material." Misraje says he took the photos of a young Carolla and is seeking unspecified damages, according to TMZ. The weird twist is that he also wants the unsold copies of the book recalled and turned over "for destruction." That's a pretty harsh thing to do to a former friend.
This is the second lawsuit Misraje has against Carolla. The first, which is still pending, could be a clue as to what ended their friendship in the first place. Originally Misraje worked with Carolla to build his podcast network, but was let go in 2011 after clashing with business managers that were brought in. He's suing for breach of contract.

Friday, Feb. 1, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hillary Rodham Clinton has been given a sendoff at the State Department by a crowd of American foreign service workers, as she ends her four years as secretary of state.
She urged them to continue to "serve the nation we all love," and to understand the challenges, threats and opportunities it faces. Clinton said they should work to see that "America is secure, that our interests are promoted and our values are respected."
In a letter sent to President Barack Obama today, Clinton said she's "more convinced than ever" in the strength of America's global leadership, and in the nation's "capacity to be a force for good in the world." She thanked her former political rival for the opportunity to serve in his administration.
Clinton's resignation takes effect on the swearing-in today of her successor, John Kerry.

You are currently browsing comments. If you would like to return to the full story, you can read the full entry here: "Gun Control Statistics That Reasonable People Should Know".
Now compared to countries with incredibly high gun control like England or Germany. Gun control in the US is simply pathetic and saying MOAR GUNS will solve the problems of people shooting eachother is like pouring gassoline on a fire expecting it to go out.
And England is well on its way to becoming the surveillance state Orwell predicted…wonderful!
Marijuana usage deaths: 0
Multi person deaths (from one use) caused by tobacco: 0
#7. Are you pulling these out of your ass?
The United States ranks 24th in the world in terms of its murder rate. It also has the most highly armed civilian population.
Pretty sad when you start out by saying "want the truth?" and a ton of other garbage, then you come out with this 3-foot yule log.
I'd also cite Canada's low murder/gun death rate, but they just aren't like us – guns aren't part of the culture like they are here, yet somehow they manage to survive day-to-day with no guns, no religion in their schools all the while watching the same TV and movies and playing the same video games as us.
You tell me what the difference is.
The problem isn't the law, its the culture. We are by far and undeniably the most gun crazy country in the world, and its definitely caused us problems. Wax poetic about the founding fathers and your rights all you want, just remember:
A) The second amendment mentions gun ownership in relation to the ability to form a militia, which was necessary due to the fact that the US had no standing army after the rev. war (obviously not the case now)
B)they lived in an extremely rural, unexplored land where not having a gun meant death, and all citizens would ALWAYS know the ins and outs of the firearms he carried, based on necessity.
C) the largest city IN THE WORLD was still shy of 1 million people, not to mention the fact that the largest city in the US was New York at around 35000.
D) The best guns around were only effective to about 100 yards, and fired 3 shots a minute, maybe. Again, today this is not the case.
My point is, the founding fathers were great and all, but there is no way they could have ever conceived of this. Just as we have little constitution to guide us in the debate over internet usage and privacy, we're in a period where the constitution just isn't nearly as relevant anymore, so why keep ourselves tethered to it?
It isn't those who are using guns responsibly that anyone is concerned with, its those who think that just because they have the right to have a gun means that they need a gun. That's my fear about conceal and carry as well. irresponsible people doing irresponsible things with something they know nothing about.
tx, good points here, didn't think of a couple of these (population, gun range)
I think you presuppose that most people are stupid.
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. >From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
If you value your freedom, please spread this antigun-control message to all of your friends.
Spread the word everywhere you can that you are a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!
It's time to speak loud before they try to silence and disarm us.
You're not imagining it, history shows that governments always manipulate tragedies to attempt to disarm the people.
I forgot to include that I am 100% behind the U.S. Constitution, including the 2nd Amendment.
My first thought is directed to that old Constitution & it's amendments & how so many are willing to ignore it or toss it aside. After that I am reminded that opinions are like certain body parts & everyone has them…some better than others…& on this issue there is no 'one size fits all'…IF one is truly interested in making their schools more secure, perhaps it would behoove you to meet with your community leaders & school officials to craft methods suited to your locale….We tend to be drawn to the stats that validate our own thinking & dispute anyone that has researched & presented any different discovery. NO STATS OR FACTS CAN REPLACE GOOD COMMON SENSE….just guide it. I should've prefaced my comments with the fact that I am a gun owner, a long time member of NRA & live where a carry permit is available. These guns are secured. I discovered that a bullet travels faster & farther than a knife. In all of these years not one of these guns hurt anyone. Kyle's sources are much the same as I found, but then he does due diligence better than most. I find I can disagree with him & not have to play 'gottcha' to make my point. Stats alone don"t tell the story, they only make the outline.
Thank you very much for the very useful service of pulling all these statistics together.
While were about it, how about the deaths caused by kindly, gentile, compassionate socialist regimes–you know, like the Soviet Union, NSDAP Germany, Peoples Republica of China, Khmer Rouge Cambodia, etc.) versus non-socialist regimes.
Here have a look at some real statistics from a paid researcher about guns in the states.
the arguments made in this article are f***** stupid.
ppl own baseball bats for sport. can use them as a weapon.
what are ppl owning guns for? many ppl that own guns may be fine.
but how about the mentally insane?
tho you have to question what ppl are going to do with a gun if they own one.
I'm not going to argue any points here but you want to know what people are going to do with guns they own. Not sure of you're talking about everyone in general but here is an answer. I own 6 guns one of them being an assault rifle. Only one firearm is loaded and its for home defense. The others are because I'm fascinated by them. Just like car guys are to cars. I am an avid and often target shooter. I am responsible and of sound mental health. I do not conceal carry yet I don't believe its a bad idea. Most people will never use their guns in a defensive act or a senseless violent one. The over used saying does apply here.
There are dozens of sports you can participate in with a firearm and only one with a baseball bat. What are you talking about? Are you mentally insane?
Comparing high powered Murder on children to accidents is STUPID, selfish politicizing and insensitive.
Not knowing the facts or refusing to listen is stupid.

Dental Review
Any kind of pain kills especially if you face in odd hours. Toothache is one of the problems, whenever it appears, usually appears in a severe form. It is next to impossible to search for a dentist when you have a toothache. Therefore, it is better to search for a dentist before you face any dental problem. With increasing discounts and offers by insurance companies, usually people prefer to select a dentist who is also in the list of insurance companies. At the other hand, there are a good number of people who do not have any dental insurance.
For these people, the first option is always recommendations from your friends, colleagues or family members. Surely, you will get some recommendations by them but be careful, because it is not guaranteed for sure that the dentist that provided good services to your friend will also provide excellent services to you as well. You need to gather information before you visit a dentist's office such as how much their plan costs, how easy it is for them to get an appointment, if emergency visits are covered and any other questions that you may have. Don't hesitate to ask questions as this is your integral right to take all necessary information before hand.
The next option to find a better dentist is by using the Internet where you can compare various dental plans online. The Internet provides you the option to read dental reviews of both dental insurance plans as well as discount dental plans, and you also get a chance to see what kind of protection each plan provides. It is very important for you to check the cost, availability of a dentist in your area and how many dentists are participating. All these information will help you to select the best available option for your dental care.
Before you decide to go for a certain dentist, don't forget to verify his professional creditability. You can easily check either he is a member of ADA (American Dental Association) or otherwise because members of ADA are bound to follow standards set by the ADA.
Dental Health
People are willing to have affordable and high quality dental treatment. Dentistry provides high qualified and guaranteed Dental Care for patients. The latest discoveries new ideas and new ways in dentistry and dental health are increasing day by day which in turn increases their requirement. The Department of Labor point out that dentist requirement will be increase by 25% in next decade.
The growing number of dental treatments attracts people for caring for Dental Health. The Dental Health is playing a very important role in your oral health. The people are willing to makeover their face looks, brightened their teeth, and implants with latest dental cosmetic treatments for their overall health.
The perfection in the Dental industry makes it outstanding. Dental Health is associated with wealth for dentists and for his coworkers. They are not only enters into an earning profession but they also have a respectable profession with little physical exertion. There is a great chance for earning for other people associated with this profession, like dentist, receptionists, dental assistants, laboratory technicians and accountant etc.
The basic dental health starts right from the beginning. Be trained your kids not to take too much chocolates and sweets. Make a habit of brushing after each meal. Be careful of plague, tarter, etc in the beginning before they make roots in your mouth. Visit the dentist clinic without fear when required. Don't avoid scaling, whiting or implant if you required. Dental Health is very import for you. If you don't take keen interest in the dental health of your family than it can take any other shape in the form of infection which enters into the blood steam create various problem and diseases. So always have an eagle eye on your and your kid's mouth. Bad breath is also an indication for beginning of the dental problems. Your dental health is affected if you not take proper dental treatment.
A bad bite which influence the way that you eat or speak is effect for your overall appearance and dental health. Dental braces are the remedy for this problem in people of all ages. If you have an extra tooth problem in your gum line then in this case dental braces is also benefit you. Dental Health is usually referred for pain and discomfort and visiting to a dentist clinic. It looks a burdensome task but the advances dental technologies overcome on this fear of going to a dentist clinic. You can take dental health care with ease and comfort.
Retreating gums
The elders commonly have either teeth that are totally exposed from root to tip or they don't have their natural teeth any longer. Either way, this has all started with the gums that recede. In the olden times, except the Stone Age time (their teeth were mysteriously as hard as rock that cavities are afraid to visit), it is a common sight to see the 'wise ones' (the senior citizens) having receding gums, naked teeth, or worst, no teeth at all. As we advance to the new generation, the teeth can't seem to keep up. Nowadays, it is not so shocking to see people in their mid or even early 20's with gums already receding, with dentures and other problems of the teeth and gums as well. The most common problem is the disease called Periodontitis.
This Periodontitis is defined in Wikipedia as a set of inflammatory disease affecting the periodontium—i.e., the tissues that surround and support the teeth. The alveolar bone surrounding the teeth is progressively lost and if left untreated, will loosen and subsequently cause total loss of teeth. So even in our early 30's, there is a possibility that on one of those party nights, we might lose a tooth so easily. This is the effect of periodontitis, the teeth just fall off anytime and without pain! The symptoms come so quietly, tip toeing their way to the gums and teeth and before we know it, we are already beyond saving. Watch out when your gums are too red during brushing or when the gums bleed all too easily upon brushing, biting into hard foods or when using dental floss. These are the early symptoms of periodontitis; then comes the bad breath (although this may be caused by some other factors as well), gingival recession (what?) or lengthening of the teeth. The teeth apparently lengthen due to the receding gums. When symptoms are recurring, don't wait for the other symptoms. Seek help and be examined by the experts. After all, once we lose our teeth as adults, they are never reborn. They will forever be just replacements and substitutes for what should have been natural.
Stinking breath
Breath is defined as the inhalation and exhalation of air in breathing or the air taken into the lungs in Webster's English Dictionary. It is the air that comes out from the insides of our bodies. A healthy person's breath doesn't smell bad at all. If it does, then something must be wrong. There are a lot of reasons why our breaths smell as they do. We can go on forever enumerating them all but to make the list short, we have eleven most common causes of stinking breath odors.
These are poor dental hygiene, alcoholism, cavities, dentures, drugs, food or beverages consumed, gum disease, lung infection, sinusitis, throat infection, and vitamin supplements. Should you have any of these, check your breath now and judge for yourself (good luck!). The odor caused by poor hygiene is due to the sulphur compounds released by the bacteria in the mouth. Remember that in our bodies, we have both good bacteria and bad bacteria. How do we know then if they're good or bad? The existence of the bad ones is marked by their stinki-ness.
The different bad odors also denote different types of illnesses inside the body. What a very convenient way to check the health of your would-be partner, just an inch-away-from-face conversation, then maybe a kiss for confirmation and poof, you'll know if he's a healthy catch! Now going back to those different bad odors, we have three types of stinking smells. There is that fruity odor where the body gets rid of excess acetone. This is usually the case with diabetic people.
Second is the breath that smells like poop. This is due to prolonged vomiting or also because of the tube placed through the nose or mouth of a patient for draining or cleansing of the stomach. Lastly, others have a fishy smell odor. This is a symptom of kidney failure. See, we don't need to be a rocket scientist at all to know that some organs inside do not function well. With just a smell, the secrets of the insides are out.

Student Spotlight: Joshua Schweitzer
Joshua Schweitzer
Major: Criminal Justice
After Joshua Schweitzer graduated from high school, he enrolled at Illinois State University.
Unfortunately, he didn't pass most of his classes, so he decided to take time off from school and instead joined the Army. While at basic training, he was called home due to a family emergency.
"I quit the Army before completion, returned home and was left with nothing," he said. "I began working at Aramark for a short time while I regained focus, and I decided that I wanted to pursue academic achievement with a passion."
Wanting to stay close to home, Schweitzer started at College of DuPage because friends and family spoke highly of its programs. What he found was so much more.
"College of DuPage has helped me toward my goals by providing excellent teachers, engaging courses, structure and meaningful assistance," he said. "It has been beneficial to be able to openly talk to teachers, receive advice and support when pursuing out-of-class endeavors, such as internships.
"Honestly, one of the most beneficial things I've been able to develop at COD is the ability to engage and voice my opinion more often. I enjoy providing my input during discussions and the time I usually spend talking to teachers after class. Being a leader in the classroom requires flexibility, careful listening, speaking when appropriate, remaining organized and treating others with respect. A good leader knows that they are accountable for their words and actions; a good leader accepts input and admits when they are wrong."
One of Schweitzer's most memorable experiences was having two separate teachers approach him to use his papers for two different reasons -- one for the school news and another for a writing competition.
"Each teacher said that this was his or her first time submitting a student's work in the 16 or 17 years they had been in the profession. It was rewarding to be recognized and for each teacher to set aside time to congratulate me on my success," he said. "Maintaining a 4.0 GPA, receiving incredible feedback, meeting wonderful people and fostering a renewed love for education has made my experience at College of DuPage parallel to none."
In 2014, Schweitzer was named an Outstanding Graduate finalist and graduated with highest honors. He has enrolled in the College's 3+1 program in Criminal Justice with Lewis University and is pursuing a summer 2014 internship at the Cook County Sheriff's Office with the help of his professors, especially Theo Darden.
"I'm in a period of mental transition, so I am trying to envision future goals and work toward those – and I know I will continue to receive excellent advice from the teachers at both the College of DuPage and Lewis," he said.
Schweitzer is interested in a federal law enforcement job, ideally as an air marshal. Otherwise, he'd like to find something at a local police department. He also believes in continuing education, whether it's working toward a certificate or enrolling in a master's program.
He encourages anyone considering college to attend College of DuPage.
"College of DuPage offers engaging classes, helpful teachers and unique programs, but more importantly, the faculty recognize you as a person unlike at larger universities," he said. "There is nothing engaging about a 200-person lecture, nor is there time or serious concern for the individual student. If you don't want to get lost in the crowd, are uncertain about your future, or desire helpful and engaging classes, then I would not hesitate to seriously consider applying to the College of DuPage. This school is is foundational. It challenges you to be the best student you can.
"I refuse to ever fail again. The road toward redemption has been long, but every day has been worth it. College of DuPage has offered many wonderful opportunities and I'm excited to see where I will go. I am forever grateful for my parents' continuing support, my wonderful family and brother, and for my fiancé's constant encouragement."

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Meg Shea (Melrose, Mass.) scored twice to help the University of New Hampshire field hockey team erase a two-goal second-half deficit, but 20th-ranked Providence College fended off the Wildcats to record a 4-3 non-conference victory Sunday afternoon at the Field Hockey Complex. Both teams have a 1-2 record.
PC quickly turned a scoreless game into a two-goal lead with tallies 1:59 apart by Ashlyn Hudson at 16:23 and Nellie Poulin at 18:22. Hudson scored off a flurry in front in which UNH goalkeeper Katherine Nagengast (Westborough, Mass.) stopped the initial three shots. Poulin redirected Nicole Fernandez's shot into the cage for the second goal.
UNH trimmed the deficit to 2-1 at 21:00 when Kara Connolly (Mohegan Lake, N.Y.) blasted a hard shot from the top of the circle for her first goal of the season.
The Friars reestablished a two-goal advantage in the waning minutes of the half when Hudson advanced the ball from the top of the circle to Poulin, who scored at 33:38.
UNH trailed by that 3-1 score at halftime but rallied to tie the score with goals 3:24 apart early in the second half. Shea scored off her own rebound to lift the Wildcats within 3-2 at 39:54, then the 'Cats converted a penalty corner into the game-tying goal at 43:17. Hayley Rausch (Severna Park, Md.) initiated the play with the push and Kyle Lyons (White River Junction, Vt.) moved the ball to Shea, who fired a shot into the cage.
Poulin, on a tip-in from Adrienne Marois' shot, scored her third goal of the game to put Providence back in front, 4-3, at 49:09.
UNH immediately responded with pressure, however, and generated a corner within the next minute that produced a Kate Collins Smyth (Parteen, County Claire / Ireland) shot that was turned aside by PC goalie Rachel Chamberlain.
The 'Cats continued to attack and were awarded penalty corners in the 55th and 57th minutes. The first led to a shot by Shea that was stopped by Chamberlain.
Nagengast made a pair of saves in the 58th minute to keep the differential at one goal, then at the other end of the field Cally Cooke (Newburyport, Mass.) was denied off a corner in the 60th minute.
New Hampshire called time out at 62:03 and took its seventh corner of the half - 10th of the game - shortly thereafter, but the Wildcats did not record a shot the rest of the way.
Nagengast finished with a career-high 10 saves and Chamberlain was also credited with 10 stops.
The shots were even at 18 an UNH had a 10-5 edge in penalty corners.
"This was a heartbreaking loss," 19th-year head coach Robin Balducci said. " But I'm very proud of the performance. We played very good hockey.
"Whitney Frates played an incredible game," Balducci added. "She was a catalyst. Even though she didn't score, she was the reason we were able to come back to tie the score."
New Hampshire returns to action next weekend at the University of Vermont for games against Cal-Davis (Sept. 12; 2 p.m.) and Penn (Sept. 13; 2:30 p.m.). The Wildcats' next home game is Sept. 19 against the College of the Holy Cross. Game time at Memorial Field is 1 p.m.

The roof of City Hall's Building B is now home to 8,700 square feet of succulent plants.
"It's basically for storm water management," says Anne Spaulding, the city's sustainability manager, during a rooftop tour. "All of the rainwater - instead of running into the storm system - is consumed by the plants on the roof."
Spaulding says the thick carpet of sedum can reduce storm water runoff by up to 90 percent, depending on the amount of rainfall.
The goal is to reduce the amount of pollutants that flow into the region's streams, rivers and lakes.

A company without Paula is like a wrapper without butter…
For over 13 years, millions of Americans have invited Paula Deen into their homes, and shared meals with her through her television shows, cookbooks, grocery and kitchen items, and home furnishings.
These corporations have cut ties with Paula, and no longer broadcast her television shows, or carry her products. We have the power to demand that her status be reinstated, and it's easier than you think.
Join the National Butter Wrappers for Paula Protest now to tell these corporations that you want Paula Deen back on the shelves and back on your television.
