GSP on JRE: Wishes there were no rounds in MMA - Mixed Martial Arts News
UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre recently appeared on the ever phenomenal Joe Rogan Experience, and said he wishes there were no rounds in MMA.
Damon Martin @DamonMartin
Georges St-Pierre says he wishes there were no rounds in MMA. That's the true way to determine who is the best fighter. #UFC
The remarks parallel those of UFC co-founder Rorion Gracie, who cited them as a reason for selling the UFC, when a Royce vs. Ken Shamrock superfight made a time limit mandatory to adhere to the PPV schedule.
We had to time the fights now, so a winner could be declared said Rorion in a 2009 interview. But how do you determine a jiu-jitsu winner if hes at the mercy of judges who dont understand jiu-jitsu? A jiu-jitsu fighter fights on his back, with his opponent on top of him. He needs time to wear out his opponent, to cook him like my father did. There were rounds, and I no longer wanted to be involved. I wasnt happy. Its like a girlfriend you love until she becomes a bitch.
UFC 1 actually had a time limit, of a sort. The rules called for an unlimited number of five-minute rounds, although not a single fight made it to the mark.
So what do you think UG? Would rounds make a difference? And if so, does it matter?
Other topics covered include:
GSP's experiences with aliens and time loss.
GSP says his body would adapt to a move to lightweight easier than a move to middleweight.
Hendricks is "probably" his next fight.
GSP says he walks around at 190lbs. A lot of lightweights walk around at or near that weight.

Jane Dunlap, Pushmataha County Clerk, recently achieved Basic Certification for County Clerks. To complete the basic level in the county clerk's certification program, Dunlap took a minimum of seven courses for a total of 75 hours of instruction. She was honored at the County Clerk's Annual School held recently in Tulsa.
The County Clerks Association of Oklahoma instituted a voluntary certification program in 1992, which comprises an initial basic level. In 2000, the program was revised to include an advanced level, which requires a minimum of 60 additional hours, including four required courses. The remaining course hours are chosen from a selection of 16 courses at the discretion of the county employee.
In 2004, an Advanced Level II was added, which requires 55 additional hours, including five mandatory classes and sufficient discretionary classes to meet the number of hours needed. Since the program's inception, more than 400 clerks and deputies have successfully attained certification.
Course work for clerks and their deputies encompasses subjects such as basic accounting; administration of county-owned property; formulating and operating a publicly-funded budget; meeting strict requirements of purchasing and bidding procedures; basic mapping; tax roll corrections; land records; managing cash flow; and learning about the many forms used for reporting purposes required by the Office of the State Auditor and Inspector.
The program also contains courses on the legislative process; utilizing the Oklahoma Statutes and research laws; fundamentals of office administration; the Open Meetings and Open Records Acts; communications skills; and a variety of courses on supervisory skills and mandatory issues regarding federal and state employment laws.
Course in the certification program are conducted through the County Training Program, part of the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Services of Oklahoma State University. The County Training Program is mandate by state statute and is authorized under the Commission on County Government Personnel and Training.
Instructors from OSU teach the classes for county officers and deputies at various locations throughout the state, and on the university's campuses in Stillwater, Tulsa and Oklahoma City. In addition to County Clerk, the OSU staff also conducts dozen classes each year for other county officer certification programs. Many of the courses, which are usually taught in the classroom setting for 25-40 people, are attended by representatives from each of the elective and appointive agencies in county government.
More information about educational training for county officers may be obtained by contacting the County Training Program on the OSU Stillwater campus at 405-744-6160, or by visiting the website at http://www.agecon.okstate.edu/ctp.

Yadkin County Schools has begun compliance with the new state legislation called House Bill 857, "an act to make successful completion of instruction in CPR a requirement for high school graduation by 2015.
This bill is to be implemented with the current sophomores and freshmen in Yadkin County high schools.
Principals from the middle schools and high schools met with Dr. Stewart Hobbs, the school superintendent, and the school nursing staff to develop a plan for implementation. The school system purchased six mannequins and an AED Trainer to begin the training process.
Plans are underway to train the current high school students and a program has been implemented to require ninth grade CPR training in current health and physical education classes beginning next year.
Yadkin County Schools thanks the CPR trained volunteers, EMT volunteers and the nursing staff for the donation of their time to help Yadkin County Schools begin the process of compliance.
A National CPR statistic report by the American Heart Association shows that 70 percent of Americans may feel helpless to act during cardiac emergency. Roughly 88 percent of cardiac arrest events occur in the home.

Aiken Mall Acquisition, LLC, which owns about 35 acres at Aiken Mall, has been foreclosed upon and owes approximately $28.5 million to U.S. Bank, according to Aiken County clerk of court records. The total owed value includes a principal balance of about $20 million, with additional uncollected interest and late fees making up the difference.
According to clerk of court records, Aiken Mall Acquisitions, LLC, quit making payments on the interest on April 1, 2012.
A judge will open a bid process to purchase the property on June 3 at 11 a.m. at the Aiken County Courthouse, located at 109 Park Avenue.
U.S. Bank has a choice to seek a deficiency judgement against Aiken Mall Acquisitions, LLC, by that date and time. If it does not, then the highest bidder on June 3 would be awarded the property and a deed would be issued.
If it does seek a deficiency judgment, the bank would not only be foreclosing the mortgage, but also would be seeking a money judgment. Additionally, the bidding would remain open for another 30 days, ending on July 3 at 11 a.m. The highest bidder at the first sale cannot bid again at the second sale. If no one else raises the bid at the second sale, then the property goes to the higher bidder from the original sale.

When I believed in ET, a young lady told me she didn't believe God sent people to Hell. I told her that she was wrong. However, if it was scriptural/in the Bible, then I would believe it. It wasn't long when I finally found those Scriptures in inadvertently while getting in a debate with a Calvinist on free will. I chalked it up as 'gee, it would have been if it was true'. But over time, those Scriptural passages were revealed to me through God's grace. I was resistant at first and even argued against it.
Eventually though I came around. Here's the point I wanted to make. People often argue against ET by saying that a loving God would never send someone to Hell for all of eternity. But this could be seen as an appeal to emotion or wishful thinking. Do you think it's better to just stick to the Bible because if the only intellectual justification is the Bible, then proving the Bible, translated accurately from the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic should at least get the intellectually honest ET'ers to think twice about their false doctrine.Or am I wrong in my reasoning?
Trying to rely on just what Scripture says on a matter really isn't as effective as we've been led to believe simply because it's a book of signs intended to water what's already been planted. We're not to "build" up a belief from what our minds have already filtered through our reading of the Scripture. Faith doesn't come by reading . . .it doesn't even come by knowing.

This section is not meant to hold your hand and teach you. Instead it is meant to motivate self-teaching.
Essentially, you will have to get yourself a book or e-book and teach yourself.
What you will find here is a "ladder" of increasingly challenging programming assignments, meant to motivate you to learn and use different facilities of each language.
How this section of the site works:
- To help inspire you, each challenge assignment is only unlocked after you submit a solution to the previous one.
- Assignment also often have bonus challenges which you can complete for extra recognition.
- Users will be rewarded with special stuff in their forum identity - badges or text, etc. so you can show off of your achievements.
- Other bonus prizes (dc cups and tshirts) may be available to high achievers.
- You will be able to see other people's solutions after you submit yours.
- It is your job to test your programs and make sure they work! Your program is not going to be tested by us - it's up to you to test it and make it work.
- Submit your assignment as a new post.
- No one will be able to read it until it is accepted officially.
- After it is accepted you will be able to read other people's solutions and the next assignment will be accessible.
IMPORTANT: expect critiques on your programming style to help you improve - a MAJOR point of this school is to help you improve your STYLE of coding, promote good programming habits, and help users learn to think like good coders. It is not enough to get a program to work, it should be well designed. Your code should be fully documented and well organized.

Regularly, the Aiken Chamber and many other groups in our region advocate for missions and funding for the Savannah River Site.
You expect us to be a strong community voice for the Savannah River Site, that has a distinguished 60-year history of accomplishing goals for America. We appreciate what SRS means to our country, and we all understand that SRS underpins the economy of our region.
Maintaining a strong voice for the site in Washington, D.C. is critical. Funding allocated by Congress to the U.S. Department of Energy can be hijacked to sites other than SRS if our Congressional Delegation is not vigilant.
For the past seven years that I have been your Chamber president, Sen. Lindsey Graham has been the "go to" member of the South Carolina Delegation for Savannah River Site issues.
Having represented us as a congressman before being elected to the U.S. Senate, he has a deep understanding of the needs for the site. Graham is resolute in his support for SRS and has been able to maneuver through the complex maze in Washington to help protect our best interests.
Additionally, Graham is annually recognized by the U.S. Chamber with its prestigious "Spirit of Enterprise" award – an award reserved for members of Congress based on rankings for key business votes.
Standing alongside Graham for SRS issues is our newly appointed Sen. Tim Scott, plus Congressman Joe Wilson and Congressman Jim Clyburn.
We have a strong team of congressional leaders working with local business, government, civic and education leaders. Kudos to the team.

A review of the weekend's action in the Spanish Primera Division.
Real Madrid returned to 13 points behind bitter rivals Barcelona at the summit after a 2-1 win over a Celta Vigo side who made them work all the way.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a scrappy opener and a winner from the penalty spot, after Iago Aspas' equaliser, to take his tally to 188 goals in 186 appearances for the club.
Celta substitute Park Chu-young headed against the crossbar late on but Real held on for victory.
Real Sociedad brought Atletico Madrid's 100 per cent home record in the league this season to an end with a narrow 1-0 victory at the Vicente Calderon.
Xabi Prieto scored the only goal of the game on 53 minutes but was fortunate his effort was not disallowed for offside.
The victory took Phillippe Montanier's side up to fifth in the Primera Division table while Atleti surrendered second place to Real Madrid.
Atletico were marginally the better side in the first half but created few clear chances.
Iker Muniain scored his first goal of the season as Athletic Bilbao overcame Valencia 1-0 at San Mames to record a victory that eased their fears of being dragged into a relegation fight.
The result was also a blow to Valencia's plans of qualifying for the Champions League, as Ernesto Valverde's side, who were knocked out of Europe's elite competition by Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, missed the chance to capitalise on Malaga's draw on Saturday and claim fourth spot.
And the Valencia coach is likely to be furious with his team for failing to at least get on the scoresheet after creating a far greater number of chances than their opponents in the second half.
Levante missed the chance to move closer to the Europa League places as Getafe survived a one-sided goalless draw at the Ciutat de Valencia.
The east-coast outfit reached 36 points and 10th place courtesy of the stalemate - their highest-ever points tally at this stage of a Primera Division season - but they were left to rue a chronic lack of incision in front of goal.
Visiting goalkeeper Miguel Moya deserved praise for keeping Robert Acquafresca and Pedro Rios at bay in the first half but in truth, ninth-placed Getafe were lucky to escape with a point.
On Saturday, Barcelona rang the changes ahead of next week's Champions League clash with AC Milan but still picked up a comfortable 2-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna at the Nou Camp.
Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Andres Iniesta were among those out of the first XI against the league's bottom side, but the reserves enjoyed near total dominance in the first period, the only surprise being that Alexis Sanchez's 38th-minute goal was all they had to show for it.
Messi and Iniesta were sent on to close out the victory in the second half and combined for the second goal, a superb Messi finish for his 40th league goal of the season.
Malaga failed to get the maximum points off Valladolid after a 1-1 draw at the Jose Zorilla stadium.
Manuel Pellegrini fielded an under-strength side, presumably with the club's Champions League last-16 second-leg match with Porto on Wednesday in mind, resting Isco and Joaquin.
However, his team got off to a great start when Martin Demichelis headed them into the lead after eight minutes, but Manucho equalised for the hosts shortly before half-time.
Alejandro Alfaro gave Real Mallorca's survival hopes another boost as his two goals helped see off Sevilla 2-1.
A week after he scored his first league goal of the season as Mallorca came from behind to win at Granada, the forward netted in each half to move his side up to third bottom, just one point from safety.
Alvaro Negredo briefly levelled for Sevilla just after the hour mark, but, with the lively Giovani Dos Santos causing plenty of problems, the hosts fully deserved their win.
They finished the match with 10 men after the sending-off of Javi Marquez for a second yellow card in the third minute of stoppage time, but by then the work was done.
Rayo Vallecano moved to within two points of the Champions League places after a convincing 2-0 win at home to Espanyol.
An early goal by Chori Dominguez gave the Madrid side the perfect start and Piti wrapped up the points by netting on 77 minutes.
On Friday night Real Betis beat struggling Osasuna 2-1 at the Estadio Benito Villamarin.
The home side took the lead against the run of play after 18 minutes when Jorge Molina's header flew into the top corner from Joel Campbell's cross.
Osasuna did draw level after 73 minutes when Silva converted from 12 yards into the bottom right corner, however they would not remain on level terms for long.
Just six minutes later Betis were back in front when Castro's effort from the edge of the area was well placed past goalkeeper Andres Fernandez.

Mel from the web team brought in some delicious rum-raisin cookies into work today. You'll find the recipe below for these tasty treats.
Rum-Raisin Shortbread Cookies
This is a recipe courtesy of Marth Stewart's Cookies book. My wife made these cookies for her families annual Christmas Cookie Exchange. We chose our favorite rum to soak the raisins in which is Appleton Estates V/X. Half the fun of making these cookies was eating the raisins as they soaked overnight.
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- 1 cup dried currants
- 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- Combine rum and currants; cover, and let stand at room temperature overnight. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons rum.
- Beat butter, sugar, and orange zest with a mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and reserved rum, and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour, coconut, and salt, and beat for 3 minutes. Stir in currants by hand.
- Form dough into 2 logs, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter; wrap in parchment, and refrigerate 1 hour (or up to 3 days).
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove parchment. Slice logs into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, and space about 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment. Bake until pale golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
By Win Smith
Two weeks ago, Ron Geren wrote a very pertinent letter to the editor about his increased property tax bill. Noting that his taxes had risen significantly and that he lives on a fixed income, he highlighted the obvious. Ron and many others will now be spending less and this has an impact on all the farmers and businesses in The Valley.
My own homestead tax bill went up over 18 percent as did the property taxes for Sugarbush. The biggest factor this year was the 77 percent increase in the municipal tax rate. It is important to remember, however, that although the school tax rate went up only 6 percent, it still represents over 70 percent of our total tax bill.
The select board of Warren presented their highway budget at Town Meeting and outlined $840,000 of needed repairs on Inferno Road and West Hill Road. Although the explanation was thorough and these roads certainly needed repair, when the budget was approved unanimously by those in attendance I doubt that many voters understood how much the expense would impact this year's tax rate. It's one thing to agree to a road project, but it's quite another to agree to a 77 percent boost in the municipal tax rate. In the future, a projected municipal tax rate or at least a range of projected rates should be part of the presentation (as it is in the school budget presentation) to allow for a more informed discussion in April and not an unpleasant surprise when tax bills are issued in July.
While this year's tax bill focuses us on the municipal rate, the real issue is our broken education funding system. Warren collects $9.7 million in school taxes, 75 percent of which comes from nonresidents and businesses who do not even have a vote. With all of the new development and enhancements in Warren over the past decade, one would think that both our municipal tax rate and our school tax rate would be going down or at the very least would remain stable. Sadly, that is not the case.
Over $6.5 million of our school tax dollars are sent elsewhere in Vermont, with scant evidence that the statewide education tax has improved the quality of our educational system. Do receiving towns need synthetic playing fields when Harwood students play on natural grass? Do we really need the unnecessary overhead of over 60 supervisory unions at a cost of $32 million? The punishing cost of education is siphoning the tax capacity out of our community and making the municipal budget that much more difficult to bear.
On average, Vermont spends $12,800 per student, which is the third highest in the United States. In the past decade, student enrollment has fallen from a peak of 110,000 to below 90,000 while education spending has risen over 70 percent. If a business managed itself in the same way or if a household budgeted like this, bankruptcy would be declared. We have to fix this problem or we can forget about paving our roads. Education taxes will drive us back to the horse and buggy. We all want quality education for our children. But throwing money around like we have been is not producing the desired result and is raising taxes unnecessarily for all.
If you agree with these sentiments, I would encourage you to contact our elected officials. The names and email addresses for our state legislators are:
Unless our elected officials hear from voters and other stakeholders of Vermont who are crucial to our economic wellbeing, I doubt that any change will occur and the result will be a decline in The Valley we love.
Win Smith lives in Warren.

While Dr. J. Corey Allen's practice encompasses all major aspects of urology care, one of his special interests is in kidney stone disease, a common health problem here. "We live in the Stone Belt in the South," says Dr. Allen, who grew up in Lumberton, N.C. , and recently relocated from the Tarheel state to join Palmetto Adult & Children's Urology in North Charleston. "We offer the full range of treatment options for kidney stones, and for the most part they are all minimally invasive techniques." Dr. Allen is board certified by the American Board of Urology, and he also specializes in the treatment of prostate and kidney cancers. During his residency, he received extensive training with the da Vinci surgical robot for prostate and renal cancers and urological reconstruction. With each case, Dr. Allen strives for good communication and shared decision-making with patients. "My goal is to provide the best possible care."
"I want patients to feel comfortable with how we are proceeding in their treatment plans and make sure they are well informed," – Corey Allen, MD

Beliz Brother
Seattle City Hall
600 5th Avenue
Fleets and Facilities 1% for Art
Seventy-four glass panels form a faceted, sweeping curved glass wall comprising Beliz Brother's artwork return, which encloses the Bertha Knight Landes Room in the main lobby below the Council Chambers. Each panel, approximately 20 inches high by 36 inches wide, contains an image sandwiched between two layers of tempered glass. The sepia-colored images were created from photographs taken by the artist or from archival collections.
Brother states, "Each image reveals a fragment of the city's built and natural environment. The images together form a very personal view of a walk through the city now, 30 years ago, 50 or more years ago. The use of color, form and the juxtaposition of shapes evoke an emotional landscape of our city Seattle."

Can't wait to see what the H&H team has done with this year's Princess Margaret Welcome Home Sweepstakes showhome in Oakville? Lynda Reeves provides a glimpse into the 11-month process of designing, constructing, decorating and styling the lottery house. After all the great feedback from last year's Hamptons-inspired home, Lynda wanted to try her hand at another distinct style: casual yet elegant, rustic yet grand — inspired by Argentina's wine country. See all the gorgeous elements the H&H team chose, from a stucco exterior to french doors, wide-lever shutters to warm wood details, and mustard accents with pops of rust, white and taupe.

The public had an opportunity to explore the 1834 Jail and visit the Herkimer County Historical Society's third floor storage area as two local organizations hosted open house programs as part of the statewide New York State Museum Week.
At the 1834 Jail, visitors had a chance to view the progress the Friends of Historic Herkimer County group has made in its restoration work at the jail. The rooms on the main level look bright and display panels about the jail and history of law enforcement in Herkimer County have been hung on the walls.
Upstairs, James Greiner, chairman of Friends of Historic Herkimer County, was guiding some visitors through the rooms, complete with jail cells and rather crude facilities. One side held the men's cells and the other side, the women's.
"Want to know how we know this is the women's side," asked Greiner. He pointed inside the area at one end of the row of cells where a claw-footed bathtub stood. When members of the Friends spotted the tub, they talked about pulling it out and restoring it, he said. The workers soon discovered this was not possible. It appeared the room had been built around the tub; there was no way to remove it.
An old news clipping about a chimney fire helped members locate the attic cell where Roxalana Druse was held, Greiner said. Druse was arrested and charged with the December 1884 murder of her husband and was the last woman hanged in the state of New York. Greiner has written a book, "Last Woman Hanged," and was available to sign copies Saturday.
The Friends have been working on the jail restoration project room by room. An upstairs bathroom gave visitors an opportunity to view the high, metal ceiling there. Some of the other rooms are still covered with paneling and have drop ceilings.
Greiner pointed out rooms that were used as living quarters by Sheriff Richard Folts and his family in the 1970s.
Restoration and repair of the Church Street side of the jail tops the Friends' to-do list for this summer, according to the group's spring newsletter. The mortar on the building has loosened and the paint has faded and the Friends are seeking to raise funds and complete these repairs as soon as possible.
At the Herkimer County Historical Society, visitors were invited to tour the museum in the Suiter Building, where featured displays include "Working People Working Lives," "The Chester Gillette and Grace Brown murder of 1906," "They Came To Herkimer," "Francis Elias Spinner: Treasurer of the United States" and the Joyce Keller Dollhouse collection.
In addition visitors were invited up to the third floor area to walk up and down the aisles and view the artifacts and documents from Herkimer County's past. The table at which Gen. George Washington ate lunch at Shoemaker Tavern was among the items on display.
Page 2 of 2 - For more information about the Herkimer County Historical Society or to learn about upcoming programs, call 866-6413 or visit the website at www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nyhchs/.
The Friends of Historic Herkimer County has a Facebook page. Donations may be sent to Friends of Historic Herkimer County, P.O. Box 703, Herkimer 13350. The group meets the second Wednesday of each month at the 1834 Jail.

If gun control does come, bear in mind it will be just part of a program to prevent such massacres in the future. If you listen to the gaggle of experts and pundits interviewed in the wake of these slaughters, many don't even see gun control as the biggest piece of the puzzle. Other pieces one hears proposed:
1) An end to violent shoot-em-up video games. I hope you like The Sims, because if they have their way, no more Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto.
2) More attention to mental illness, which threatens to catch people who are eccentric (or even "goth") in the same net as the true crazies. Concentration camps for schizophrenics and bipolars? Maybe not concentration camps but if the mentally ill suffer from public misperceptions now, things won't get better for them.
3) Throttling the violence available to the public via TV and movies. Imagine a world with no Batman or James Bond movies and no crime/police movies on TV. Instead nothing but chick flicks and "uplifting" or "inspiring" TV shows.
4) Getting God back into our everyday lives, focusing on the schools and on promoting Christian-oriented television.
The lesson: be careful what you wish for, because you may get it along with a few other things you won't like nearly as much.
Views: 421
I seriously doubt there will be successful legislative attempts to limit violence in media. Consuming violence for entertainment is central to our culture.
The DSM currently doesn't include eccentrics or goths. Paranoia is listed as a criterion for several conditions.
Of course there is a turn to religion. In the wake of every tragedy, people cling to their beliefs to make sense of it. It doesn't last.
I get the feeling that you oppose gun regulation. The problem with what you wish for--and have--is that we've gotten a few other things along with deregulation that we don't like nearly as much. 1,000,000 deaths since 1968. That's more civilians than soldiers lost in WWII. Be careful what you wish for.
I don't oppose gun regulation per se. I oppose legislation that won't work. They tried to ban alcohol in the early 1900's. How did that work out? More recently, they've tried to crack down on marijuana and other drugs. As in the case of prohibiting alcohol, it simply isn't working.
Why would banning guns work any better?
You jump from discussing regulation to discussing a ban. Who here is advocating a ban?
We learned from prohibition that a ban doesn't work, yet we still regulate alcohol. Personally, I advocate legalisation with regulation for all illicit drugs.
Why shouldn't regulation of gun access work--if other countries are able to make it work. Are we so different? Shouldn't we at least be willing to return to recent levels of regulation on the books? Why do civilians need assualt weapons? If you have nothing to hide, a background check is just an annoying formality.
Okay, if I grant you all of that, there's Plan B. If I want to go out in a blaze of glory after a massacre and somehow (doubtful as it is) you've managed to make guns totally unavailable to me through legislated regulation, recipes for making explosives are out there (Oklahoma City?), and the ingredients are widely available through grocery and hardware stores. I can make a bomb, set it off, and then blow myself up with a suicide vest after I've enjoyed the carnage.
Plan C involves poisons and is even easier than making explosives.
Why would banning guns work any better [than banning alcohol or drugs]?
There is one important difference. Bans on drugs and alcohol are tough because they are easy products to produce, demand is high, cost-per-use is cheap, consumption is quick, and you have frequent repeat customers.
You can't grow ammunition in a closet. You can't brew handguns in a bathtub. Even if you could, you still won't have regular customers buying new guns every week because they snorted the last ones and need more.
A ban on firearms would be easier to enforce relative to bans on drugs or alcohol. But it would still be difficult. Maybe it wouldn't work at all. But either way those who think it would work are going to try it, if they have the power and opportunity. If these mass shootings persist they just might eventually.
See my reply to Keiran.
We don't have a problem with frequent domestic bombing or mass poisening. Homeland security should be equipped to take care of that these types of threats. Could the availability of assault weapons have something to do with their popularity among spree killers? Perhaps it is the efficacy and the precision afforded by a assualt weapons that lends them to this type of violence.
[Y]ou've managed to make guns totally unavailable to me through legislated regulation, recipes for making explosives are out there.
The subtext: it's pointless to regulate guns because other things besides guns can be used to kill. Sure they can. But the question is will they be used as often?
How many modern industrialized countries with outright bans-- like Japan, United Kingdom, Germany-- are facing violent criminals who brandish homegrown bombs and poisons? If so, does it happen on a scale comparable to the number of criminals in the USA who commit their crimes while brandishing guns?
Your fallacy is a common one. You ignore the fact that Americans aren't Germans, Japanese, or Icelanders. We are almost uniquely antiauthoritarian and obsessed with preserving our rights. Many people who don't want guns will resist deconstructing to any degree the 2nd Amendment.
Your fallacy is a common one. You ignore the fact that Americans aren't Germans, Japanese, or Icelanders.
I didn't say America is Germany, Japan, or Iceland. I asked if violent criminals brandish homegrown poisons and bombs at comparable scales in countries where guns are banned.
If the answer is no, it's reasonable based on that evidence that a national ban on guns in the US may have similar results.
You say that's fallacious. How? Explain the error in reasoning. Provide evidence to the contrary. Or is it wrong because you just know it?
We are almost uniquely antiauthoritarian and obsessed with preserving our rights. Many people who don't want guns will resist deconstructing to any degree the 2nd Amendment.
I see. So now you've changed your own hypothetical scenario from "make guns totally unavailable" to "resist deconstructing [gun rights] to any degree".
Crackpot: Ban guns and people will use poisons and bombs instead!
Me: How do we know that? Does it happen in other countries?
Crackpot: That's fallacious!
Me: How so?
Crackpot: It just is! And now I'm reversing the scenario! A gun ban is impossible! See? Now your question is fallacious!
There is no need to remove all of these things with the guns, as many other countries with tough gun laws show. Australia for instance has access to all of the violent movies/videogames etc. and a run-of the-mill if not slightly lacking mental health system. However, we maintain a ban on most guns. Very few Australian's fear being threatened with a gun, because they just aren't on the street or easily available.
Yes, but one major difference is that apparently in Aussieland you don't have a constitutional right to own firearms. Once you give someone a right, it is a very big deal to take it away. Even people in the US who don't own guns often dislike the idea of taking rights from them even if they feel no immediate need to exercise them.

I'd thawed a huge turkey carcass with lot of meat on it, planning to make soup. Then, last minute appointment changes meant we'd be leaving early and be gone most of the next day, when I'd planned to cook. The crockpot was the obvious answer, but turned out to be much too small for the carcass and everything else I was planning to put into it. So, thought I, why not bake it in the oven?
I consulted my primary culinary source and excellent cook, my sister Cynthia, who bakes her holiday turkeys overnight and has done so for a couple of decades. They always come out beautifully. Why not adapt this for soup? She advised me to set the controls on 225 degrees, and put it in the oven when I went to bed. If it worked for raw turkey, why not for cooked?
My husband said he hoped the soup would taste like our own holiday meals, so I added his favorite vegetables and my favorite flavor accents. I know you'll say it's not the economical way to prepare an economical dish, but Jim and I will get at least eight meals out of it and it was easy and good – and fit our schedule.
So whether you're in a time crunch with too many ingredients for your crockpot – or you just want to try this out, in general, here's what I did. Like all soups, each one is individual. The ingredients are dictated by what you've got, what you want, how much room you have and how you want it to taste.
Put a turkey carcass in large stockpot with a colander insert.
Add 4 large celery stalks with leaves and 2 quartered onions, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.
Cover with chicken broth. I used store bought. (You might have to break the turkey breast bone if it sticks way above the rest of the carcass.)
Cover and put in the oven at 225 degrees when you go to bed.
Take out stockpot in the morning and drain insert into another pan. Discard the bones, celery and onions. Add a bit of cornstarch and water to the broth and bring to a boil if you want a thicker soup.
Cut up the turkey and return to the broth in the stockpot.
Add chopped onions, chopped celery, corn and butter beans, fresh or frozen -- or a couple of your own favorite vegetables. Green beans and mushrooms would be good too. (I prepped these veggies the night before.)
My special touch is to add cranberry sauce and smoked oysters. And this is where "to taste" is so important. I added one can of the sauce and then decided it needed another one. Whole berry sauce is especially good
The smoked oysters are a staple of my holiday dressing so I started with two drained cans of those, which I mushed up, and eventually added two more.
Then, depending on your schedule, return to the oven and go about your business, until lunch – or supper. It'll be ready when you are. Both my grandmother and my mother kept soup simmering for a couple of days and it was always delicious.
This turned out beautifully. I froze some and it was just as good the second time around.

PAC-6 opens play tonight; Big Eight leaders clash
The long non-conference season for PAC-6 4-A football teams comes to an end tonight — and it couldn't have come at a more auspicious time for a mostly-struggling half dozen, all coming off bye weeks.
In other games tonight, Big Eight 3-A Conference powers Southern and Cardinal Gibbons meet in Raleigh with a share of first place on the line. Other Big Eight matchups include Northern Vance at Chapel Hill, Cedar Ridge at co-leader Orange and Oxford Webb at Northwood.
All PAC-6 and Big Eight games begin at 7 p.m.
In the 2-A ranks, South Granville hosts Northern Carolina Conference foe Franklinton at 7:30 and Mid-State Conference action opens with Bartlett Yancey traveling to Carrboro, also at 7:30 p.m.
The area's lone Tar-Roanoke 1-A Conference program, Granville Central, travels to Weldon at 7:30.
In the PAC-6, Riverside's been the surprise team of the non-conference season, running up a 4-2 record that includes three straight wins, the latest by a 63-49 count at Clayton Cleveland.
Riverside running back Joel Evans rushed for a once-in-a-lifetime 419 yards on only 12 carries — almost 35 yards per touch — and scored six touchdowns in the Pirates' win.
Riverside was an afterthought among PAC-6 followers in the preseason, when several area coaches picked Hillside as the overwhelming conference favorite followed by East Chapel Hill and promising sophomore quarterback Connor Stough to grab second place.
At 1-5, East hasn't shown any sign of being a potential challenger to Hillside, but Riverside certainly has.
The Pirates have another chance to prove it tonight when they visit East Chapel Hill.
At Hillside, Jordan (1-5) would appear to be a lamb heading for slaughter. Don't be misled by Hillside's 3-2 non-conference record — it has come against some of the top teams in the state, and includes a win over perennial power New Bern.
Hillside features standout offensive and defensive talents including 4-star running back prospect Donté Thomas-Williams and 4-star wide receiver prospect Trevion Thompson.
In the final PAC-6 game of the night, 2-4 Roxboro Person visits 0-6 Northern at Durham County Memorial Stadium.
Northern finished third in the conference standings a year ago — behind No. 1 Hillside and No. 2 Southern — before the Spartans were reclassified into the 3-A ranks.
In preseason, it was apparent that the Knights had dug a deep scheduling hole. Five of the six teams on the non-conference schedule had made deep runs in the playoffs last year. The sixth, Millbrook, was a perennial state power which had fallen on hard times but featured one of the top offensive talents in the country in senior Braxton Berrios.
An 0-6 start was predicted by many — and the Knights did just that — but the thought was that Northern could use the experience to power past a weak PAC-6 and perhaps repeat the run they made to the playoffs last year.
Person has won a couple of games, but the Rockets' schedule hasn't been nearly as difficult as Northern's. The Knights and rookie coach R.J. Wilson have a legitimate shot at a win tonight against Person and first-year coach David Kleine.
Here's a glimpse at each of tonight's other area games:
Southern (4-2, 2-0 Big Eight 3-A) at Cardinal Gibbons (5-1, 2-0 Big Eight), 7 p.m. — These are two of the toughest teams in one of, if not the most powerful 3-A leagues in the state.
Both have outstanding, balanced offenses. Southern averages some 240 passing yards and 270 rushing yards a game, leaning heavily on star QB Kendall Hinton and fleet backs/receivers Maurice Trowell, Jordan Brown and William Cameron. Gibbons counts on senior quarterback Shawn Stankavage, who also averages about 240 yards a game passing, but has a run game with several solid backs who combine for about 190 yards a game.
Neither team has been outstanding on defense, so look for the scoreboard operator to need a vacation after this one.
Northern Vance (0-6, 0-2 Big Eight) at Chapel Hill (2-4, 1-1 Big Eight), 7 p.m. — After an 0-3 start, Chapel Hill bounced back with wins over East Chapel Hill and Oxford Webb before getting shellacked 59-20 at Southern on Friday. But the Tigers are getting better. Darius Allen has rejoined the offense and given quarterback Grant DeSelm a weapon he can depend on. Northern Vance has been outscored 281-78 on the year.
Cedar Ridge (0-6, 0-2 Big Eight) at Orange (6-0, 2-0 Big Eight), 7 p.m. — Orange is ranked No. 7 statewide among 3-A programs by MaxPreps.com, the official online partner of the N.C. High School Athletic Association and that ranking might be too low for a team that tied for third in the state playoffs last year and appears to be better this year.
The Panthers have been dominant while playing three 4-A programs and a very good Northwood team without a hiccup. The Orange offense is outstanding, but its defense might be even better. The Panthers have outscored their opponents 252-43. Cross-county rival Cedar Ridge has been outscored 257-146.
Oxford Webb (2-4, 0-2 Big Eight) at Northwood (5-1, 1-1 Big Eight), 7 p.m. — Northwood's only glitch this season has been to Orange. And that's no insult. Webb hasn't proven that it can play with the heavyweights and the Chargers are just that. Heavyweights.
Quarterback Ti Pinnix is a standout all-around talent. Versatile back Kadarus Rone is a star as is receiver Jalen Smith. It makes for a likely long night for the visiting Warriors.
Franklinton (5-1, 0-0 Northern Carolina 2-A) at South Granville (5-1, 0-0 Northern Carolina), 7:30 p.m. — South Granville whipped 4-A East Wake last week, not bad for a 2-A school. The Vikings will be faced with maybe even a tougher test in their Northern Carolina opener. But the Vikings are in good hands with efficient quarterback Matt McCutcheon leading an offense that averages 153 yards a game passing and 278 per game rushing. Back Sean Bowman has run for 1,126 yards. Franklinton's lone loss came last week at 3-A Wendell Corinth Holders by a point, 33-32, when Franklinton came up short trying for a go-ahead two-point conversion with 1:17 left in the game.
Bartlett Yancey (2-4, 0-0 Mid-State 2-A) at Carrboro (3-3, 0-0 Mid-State), 7:30 p.m. — Carrboro was the state 2-A runner-up last fall and harbored thoughts of a state title this season after starting 3-0. It all came crashing down when start running back Trai Sharp injured his knee and star wideout/defensive back Marlin Johnson went down with injuries as well.
Without those two — and a couple of other key players who start both ways — the Jaguars have fallen on hard times. If the injury bug abates, the Jags have the talent to come on strong late. They've gotta hope it starts tonight against a mediocre visiting team from Yanceyville.
Granville Central (3-3, 0-0 Tar-Roanoke 1-A) at Weldon (2-4, 0-0 Tar-Roanoke), 7:30 p.m. — Granville Central makes its Tar-Roanoke 1-A Conference debut tonight against a program that might be a lot better than its record and current four-game losing streak might suggest.
Weldon has been outscored by a total of two points, 108-106, on the season. Granville Central is a bit of an enigma. Its three wins, all over weak competition, come by a combined score of 196-0 (56-0, 60-0, 80-0).
The three losses have been by an average of 12.3 points each, one against 2-A Franklinton, another against 3-A Oxford Webb and the third against tough 1-A program Conway Northampton County.

Emulsifiers 201
Instructors: Tom Oleksiak and Joe Schultz, The Lubrizol Corporation
Where: STLE University, live webinar event broadcast to your computer
When: Thursday, September 19, 2013, at 12-1:00 p.m., with optional Q&A from 1-1:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT)
Cost: $39 for members, $59 for non-members
For nearly a century, metalworking fluid manufacturers have been mixing oil and water to provide lubrication and cooling for a multitude of machining processes. These metalworking fluid providers identify and utilize combinations of emulsifiers in order to create stable emulsions that meet their specific needs.
As many experienced metalworking fluid formulators can attest, designing an emulsifier system can be more of an art than a science. Formulators must find a balance between performance requirements, cost and availability of raw materials. A significant amount of market knowledge and expertise lies with scientists that have decades of experience in formulating metalworking fluids. As machining processes evolve and the workforce transitions with new, inexperienced workers coming into the field, we want to provide a two-part training series that covers the basics of emulsification, applications for water-based metalworking fluids and offer some understanding of how to bring more science into creating water-based metalworking fluids.
Emulsifiers 201: the second part of this series, planned for early this fall, will include analytical techniques that can be used to determine differences in performance characteristics of emulsifier chemistry.

This series is intended for:
Tom Oleksiak graduated from Duke University with a Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1989. He has spent over 20 years formulating and researching metalworking fluids. His current position is as a research chemist in Metalworking fluid research and product development for Lubrizol. Tom is active in the STLE at the national level. He is the 2013 Nonferrous Paper Solicitation Chair (PSC) and is a member of the Metalworking Certification Committee.
Joe Schultz received an ACS-certified BS in Biochemistry from Benedictine University in Lisle, IL, in 1992. Following graduate course work in chemistry and a short period as a research technologist at Northwestern University Medical School, he spent 11 years at D.A. Stuart Company in Warrenville, IL. There he progressed through various roles in the Steel Mill Products Division including Chemist, Group Leader, Product Coordinator and Product Manager. He formulated and supported all varieties of specialty chemical products that are used in the production and finishing of steel worldwide. He then spent two years with the Application Engineers group of Castrol Industrial North America (Naperville, IL) providing high level field technical support for process chemicals for heavy industrial applications. Currently, Joe is Technical Services Chemist for Lubrizol's Industrial Metalworking Additives group in Wickliffe, Ohio.

That's the primary lesson the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) hopes every American citizen learns during National Consumer Protection Week, which runs March 4-10.
"Consumers need to understand that foreign lotteries and sweepstakes by mail or telephone are bogus and illegal in the United States," said Tom Brady, the USPIS' Inspector In Charge. "Over the last three years, U.S. consumers have reported losses in excess of $42 million from lottery and sweepstakes scams. The Inspection Service has always been committed to keeping our customers safe."
The USPIS and the Chicago Wolves are teaming up during National Consumer Protection Week. USPIS representatives are attending the Wolves home games on Sunday, March 4, and Wednesday, March 7, to tell fans how they can protect themselves against fraud. They'll also hand out Wolves "More Than A Game" mouse pads.
A strong first step toward preventing email and telephone fraud is visiting www.deliveringtrust.com. Many of the tips are designed to protect older Americans, who are frequent targets for scam artists.
"We're trying to target the caretakers and give them telltale signs of scams," said Julie Kenney, the USPIS' Public Information Representative. "If they want you to pay up front for your prize, that's a definite no-no.
"And once they send money, they're put on a 'sucker' list, so volunteer to help older family members balance checkbooks. Ask about sudden large withdrawals. Answer the phone when you're at their home to see what kind of calls they're getting. Remember, if you are a United States citizen and living in the United States, it is illegal to play a foreign lottery."

WILLIAMSON — Artifacts from the world famous Hatfield and McCoy Feud were presented to the Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce in a special ceremony Monday morning in front of the historic Coal House on Second Avenue in downtown Williamson.
The relics were discovered after an archaeological dig held on the property of Bob and Rita Scott at Hardy, Ky.
Bill Richardson, a local WVU professor and extension agent, said these historic objects are amazing and will help increase tourism in the Tug Valley area. They are now on display at the Coal House.
Included in the artifacts is an actual piece of the Ran'l McCoy cabin that was burned to the ground by the Hatfield clan in a New Year's Day raid in 1888. This was one of the dramatic scenes depicted in the History Channel's mini-series on the feud.
Others items are the a ceramic piece of a wash basin, a piece of metal from a stove and several bullets that were fired during the raid.
The Scott's arrived in front of the Coal House escorted by Sgt. John Dotson of the West Virginia State Police. They then entered the front of the chamber on a red carpet and presented the artifacts to Richardson and Chamber director Natalie Young.
The National Geographic television show "Diggers" will air the episode Tuesday night at 10 p.m. about their historic findings.
The raid on the McCoy residence in 1888 was a major turning point in the Hatfield and McCoy Feud, according to Richardson. "The fact that the items are from such a key event with the feud makes them even more significant."
Richardson said there are no bullets from the gunfight at the OK Corral or none from famous outlaw Jessie James. But now the local Chamber of Commerce has actual artifacts from the most famous feud in history that happened right here in the Tug Valley.
University of Kentucky archaeologist Kim McBride did further excavation at the site after the National Geographic show did the first dig. Also uncovered from the site were window glass from the cabin and several pieces of ceramic from the McCoy cabin.
There were three different calibers of ammunitions found, according to Richardson. Those included shotgun pellets, and what is believed to be 38 and 44 caliber bullets. The artifacts are now on display in a protected glass case at the Coal House.
Richardson said tourism has increased in the last year and he expects to see an upsurge in the tourist traffic in the coming months here in the Tug Valley area.
Williamson Mayor Darrin McCormick welcomed those in attendance, along with House of Delegate member Justin Marcum and Michael Browning, who was representing U.S. Senator Joe Manchin.
Former chamber director Cecil Hatfield, county commissioner David Baisden and several current members of the TVCC were also in attendance.
If you are interested in viewing the artifacts, you may contact the Coal House at 304-235-5240 during business hours or Richardson at 606-237-4487. You may also email him at email@example.com.

US pending home sales rise to highest in 2½ yearsBy CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | December 29,2012WASHINGTON A measure of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes increased last month to its highest level in two and a half years, the latest sign of improvement in the once-battered housing market.
The National Association of Realtors said Friday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index rose 1.7 percent in November from October to 106.4. Thats the highest since April 2010, when a homebuyer tax credit caused a spike in sales. And after excluding those months when the tax credit was available, its the best reading since February 2007.
The increase followed a 5 percent gain in October and suggests higher sales of previously occupied homes in the coming months. Theres generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale.
In November, signed contracts to buy homes rose in the Northeast and West, and ticked up slightly in the Midwest. They were unchanged in the South.
Home sales are on track to rise 10 percent this year to their highest level in five years, buoyed by ultra-low mortgage rates and steady job gains. The Realtors group forecasts that sales may rise in 2013 to about 5.1 million. Thats still below the more than 5.5 million that is considered consistent with a healthy market.
The housing recovery that began earlier this year is looking sustainable for a number of reasons. The supply of previously occupied homes for sale has finally thinned out and is at an 11-year low. At the same time, more people are looking to buy or rent a home after living with relatives or friends during and in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
The combination of stronger demand and limited supply is pushing up home prices. That could encourage more sellers to put their homes on the market because they can expect a better price.
Builders are also more optimistic that the recovery will endure and are stepping up construction. The pace of home construction was nearly 22 percent higher in November compared with a year earlier. Builders are on track this year to start work on the most homes in four years.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON U.S. Full StoryGroup recognizes Full StoryNEW YORK Stocks ended the day mostly flat on Thursday, recovering from broad losses earlier in...
