ENT Today
The role of robotics in health care is a hotly debated topic, reports anarticle in ENT Today magazine. In otolaryngology, the da Vinci SurgicalSystem, the only surgical robot approved by the FDA, is currently used toexcise cancers of the oropharynx transorally, to perform transaxillarythyroidectomies and to treat sleep apnea. Perhaps the most widely accepteduse of robotic surgery in otolaryngology is transoral robotic surgery(TORS). Developed in 2005 by Bert O'Malley, MD, chair, Department ofOtorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, and Gregory Weinstein, MD,vice-chair, Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, TORSwas approved by the FDA in 2009 for the removal of T1 and T2 cancers of theoropharynx. Only about 200 surgeons in the U.S. are currently qualified toperform TORS, said Dr. Weinstein. He believes that the number of qualifiedsurgeons will increase based on the need to treat patients with HPV-relatedcancers of the head and neck... Read More

What's not helping? [Nothing. Thanks anyway. Nice garden.] - to Sawyer
What was that all about? [He has headaches.] Doesn't the guy have a like truckload of Aspirin stashed away somewhere? [He says Aspirin didn't help.] - to Sun
Can I ask you a question? Say you are having bad heachaches...every day. [You okay?] Yeah, fine. [So, who are we talking about then Kate?] Sawyer. I just think there might be something really wrong with him. [And what does he think?] He says he's fine but... [Then he's fine.] You know what, he could be playing it down. There could be something... - to Jack
That's it. Get up! [What?] Get up. You're going to Jack. [Do I get a lollipop?] - to Sawyer
Would you just let him do his thing? - to Sawyer
I know he deserved it but... [He needs glasses.] - to Jack
So did you know before or after you asked him about his latest outbreak? [Well I'd answer that Kate but you know doctor-patient-confidentiality.] Of course. Thank you for helping him. I know it was probably the last thing you wanted to do. [I didn't do it for him.] - to Jack

I like petitions. As much as they give the people "a voice," I can't say I have too much faith in them actually changing policy or really made any sort of difference. But alas, here we are with another very noble online petition this time, asking for Logitech to support their failed Google TV experiment one last time, and unlock the bootloader for the Revue.
We reported a few weeks back on how Logitech saw the Revue as a blunder of sorts, placing full blame on Google releasing Google TV in "beta form," way ahead of its time. But what about the disenfranchised Revue owners out there, many of whom have paid full price for the set top when it launched earlier this year? What are they to do? Well, they want a chance to get future support from developers in the Android community but the only way that's going to happen, is if Logitech unlocks the bootloader for the Revue. Sounds like a reasonable request to me.
Logitech, please. Before you turn your backs on us forever. Allow the Revue to go out with a bang… and let my people go.

Gillian Mason was passionate about literature in college, so she made a career of it, earning a Ph.D. in American studies from Boston University. She had part-time teaching jobs on different campuses, but after 10 years as an adjunct she realized that she would never find a tenure-track job, or even one that paid a living wage.
"I was teaching five classes at three different campuses. I was quickly going broke and my student debt was still growing," she said.
So Ms. Mason left teaching and became a higher-education organizer, part of a movement catching on across American campuses where adjunct faculty members, the working poor of academia, are turning to collective action.

Betty Boop, flirtatious, seductive cartoon character of 1930s animated short films produced by Max Fleischer and directed by his brother Dave. Modeled on the sexy, coy flapper of the 1920s, in particular the singer Helen Kane, Betty Boop has huge eyes, long eyelashes, which she bats frequently, and a distinctive, high-pitched voice, originally provided by actress Mae Questel. Betty frequently punctuates her sentences with the exclamation "Boop-oop-a-doop!" She wears strapless, short-skirted dresses, and on her left thigh a fancy garter, which she sometimes snaps coquettishly.
Animator Grim Natwick originally drew the character as a small dog. From 1930 Betty was all human—so much so that she was the first cartoon character to be censored by the Hays Office. Betty Boop cartoons were very popular with the American public; among the best films of the series were Dizzy Dishes (1930), I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal, You (1932), Boilesk (1933), The Old Man of the Mountain (1933), Snow White (1933), and Red Hot Mama (1934). After Betty's image was tamed by the onset of the Production Code in 1934, her popularity declined and the series was discontinued in 1939.

What is Climate Change
Our generation's challenge. Climate change is real and affecting everyone, the poor the most. We will never end poverty if we don't tackle climate change. Climate solutions are at hand. It costs less to take on climate change now compared to dealing with the consequences.
We are switching to low-carbon energy sources, addressing deforestation, creating climate-smart cities and using resources more efficiently. We are on the path to zero carbon economies. We need to accelerate the climate movement for a sustainable future.

We Are Changing Our Climate?
Climate is usually defined as the "average weather" in a place. It includes patterns of temperature, precipitation (rain or snow), humidity, wind and seasons. Climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and cultures that depend on them.
But the climate we've come to expect is not what it used to be, our climate is rapidly changing with disruptive impacts, and that change is progressing faster than any seen in the last 2,000 years.
The Earth's climate has changed on many timescales in response to natural factors. On long timescales, such as tens of thousands of years, we see the Earth move in and out of ice ages.
At the other extreme, El Ninos come and go every few years, temporarily raising the Earth's temperature. Since we emerged from the last ice age around 11,000 years ago, the Earth's climate has remained relatively stable, with global temperatures averaging at about 14°C.
However, in the last century our climate has started to change rapidly. The evidence points to a long-term change in our climate that is happening at an unusually quick rate. 1983-2012 was likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 1400 years.
Reconstruction of past temperature record and indication of current and future warming by Paul Price.
There are many factors that can cause a warming of our climate; for example, more energy from the sun, large natural events such as El Nino or an increased greenhouse effect. Scientists have ruled out the sun and natural variations in our climate as the major causes of the recent warming.
It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. There is overwhelming evidence that the warming we've seen is due to increased amounts of greenhouse gases, such as water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere.
Human activities have directly increased the amount of carbon dioxide, methane and some other greenhouse gases. These increases can be through the burning of fossil fuels such as oil and coal, and changes in land use such as chopping down forests for cattle grazing.
"The science is unequivocal that humans are the cause of global warming, and major changes are already being observed: global mean warming is 0.8°C above pre industrial levels; oceans have warmed by 0.09°C since the 1950s and are acidifying; sea levels rose by about 20 cm since pre-industrial times and are now rising at 3.2 cm per decade; an exceptional number of extreme heat waves occurred in the last decade; major food crop growing areas are increasingly affected by drought."
- Dr. Jim Yong Kim
President, World Bank Group
Observed Changes to the Climate System
The effects of greenhouse gas emission–induced change on the climate system, reported by IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) in 2007, have continued to intensify, more or less unabated:
The concentration of the main greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2), has increased by 40% from its preindustrial concentration of approximately 278 parts per million (ppm) to 391 ppm in 2013.
Concentrations of CO2, CH4, and N2O now substantially exceed the highest concentrations recorded in ice cores during the past 800,000 years.
Ocean warming dominates the increase in energy stored in the climate system, accounting for more than 90% of the energyaccumulated between 1971 and 2010.
Global mean temperature has continued to increase and is now about 0.8°C above preindustrial levels.
Temperatures have been increasing and impacts are already being felt. Oceans have contineud to warm and have risen by 15 - 20 cm over the 20th century and continue to rise at 3.2 cm per decade. The warming of the atmosphere and oceans is leading to an accelerating loss of ice from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, and this melting could add substantially to sea-level rise in the future.
The effects of global warming are also leading to observed changes in many other climate and environmental aspects of the Earth system. The last decade has seen an exceptional number of extreme heat waves around the world with consequential severe impacts.
Preliminary estimates for the 2010 heat wave in Russia put the death toll at 55,000, annual crop failure at about 25 percent, burned areas at more than 1 million hectares, and economic losses at about US$15 billion (1 percent GDP).
The area of the Earth's land surface affected by drought has also likely increased substantially over the last 50 years, somewhat faster than projected by climate models. The 2012 drought in the United States impacted about 80 percent of agricultural land, making it the most severe drought since the 1950s. Negative effects of higher temperatures have been observed on agricultural production, with recent studies indicating that since the 1980s global maize and wheat production may have been reduced significantly compared to a case without climate change.
"I got it wrong on climate change - it's far, far worse"
- Lord Nicholas Stern
Climate Change Economist
Preventing a 2° Warmer World
"Despite the global community's best intentions to keep global warming below a 2°C increase above pre-industrial climate, higher levels of warming are increasingly likely. Scientists agree that countries' current United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change emission pledges and commitments would most likely result in 3.5 to 4°C warming. And the longer those pledges remain unmet, the more likely a 4°C world becomes."
- Dr. Jim Yong Kim
President, World Bank Group
The global community has committed itself to holding warming below 2°C to prevent "dangerous" climate change, and Small Island Developing states and Least Developed Countries have identified global warming of 1.5°C as warming above which there would be serious threats to their own development and, in some cases, survival.
However, the sum total of current policies – in place and pledged – will very likely lead to warming far in excess of these levels. Indeed, present emission trends put the world plausibly on a path toward 4°C warming within the century.
A world in which warming reaches 4°C above preindustrial levels, would be one of unprecedented heat waves, severe drought, and major floods in many regions, with serious impacts on human systems, ecosystems, and associated services.
Warming of 4°C can still be avoided: numerous studies show that there are technically and economically feasible emissions pathways to hold warming likely below 2°C. Thus the level of impacts that developing countries and the rest of the world experience will be a result of government, private sector, and civil society decisions and choices, including, unfortunately, inaction.
"We can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgement of science and act before it's too late."
- Barack Obama
Tacking Action on the Climate Challenge
"We can help cities grow clean and climate resilient, develop climate smart agriculture practices, and find innovative ways to improve both energy efficiency and the performance of renewable energies. We can work with countries to roll back harmful fossil fuel subsidies and help put the policies in place that will eventually lead to a stable price on carbon. We are determined to work with countries to find solutions. But the science is clear."
- Dr. Jim Yong Kim
President, World Bank Group
Climate change is already undermining progress and prospects for development and threatens to deepen vulnerabilities and erode hard-won gains. Consequences are already being felt on every continent and in every sector. Species are being lost, lands are being inundated, and livelihoods are being threatened. More droughts, more floods, more strong storms, and more forest fires are taxing individuals, businesses and governments. Climate-related extreme events can push households below the poverty trap threshold, which could lead to greater rural-urban migration. Promoting economic growth and the eradication of poverty and inequality will thus be an increasingly challenging task under future climate change.
Actions must be taken to mitigate the pace of climate change and to adapt to the impacts already felt today. It will be impossible to lift the poorest on the planet out of poverty if climate change proceeds unchecked. Strong and decisive action must be taken to avoid a 4°C world – one that is unmanageable and laden with unprecedented heat waves and increased human suffering.
It is not too late to hold warming near 2°C, and build resilience to temperatures and other climate impacts that are expected to still pose significant risks to agriculture, water resources, coastal infrastructure, and human health. A new momentum is needed. Dramatic technological change, steadfast and visionary political will, and international cooperation are required to change the trajectory of climate change and to protect people and ecosystems. The window for holding warming below 2°C and avoiding a 4°C world is closing rapidly, and the time to act is now.

Phoenix area under consideration for Google Fiber
PHOENIX -- Internet speeds in the Valley could soon get a huge boost, courtesy of Google Fiber.
Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe are currently being considered by Google for its ultra-fast Fiber Internet service. They are among 31 other cities.
"This is the kind of cutting-edge technology that can help lift our entrepreneurs, accelerate economic development, offer new education opportunities and improve the lives of everyone in our community," said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton in a press release. "We're excited for the opportunity to work with Google to deliver faster, more productive Internet service to Phoenix."
Google said the cities have to pass its checklist before it can add the service.
There are three main items on the checklist: We're asking cities to ensure that we, and other providers, can access and lease existing infrastructure. It would be wasteful and disruptive to put up duplicate utility poles or to dig up streets unnecessarily, when we could use existing poles or conduit.
We're asking cities to provide accurate information about local infrastructure like utility poles, conduit and existing water, gas and electricity lines so we'd know where to efficiently place every foot of fiber.
We're asking cities to make sure they have permit processes suitable for a project of this scale. Anyone building a large fiber network would need to submit thousands of construction permits � and many cities have small permitting offices that might not be prepared for that volume of paperwork. This will help us build as fast as we can and deliver service to residents as soon as possible.
The Internet giant said there is no timeline for the decision to be made, but it hopes to have answers by the end of the year.
The cities were chosen because they are "led by people who have been working hard to bring faster Internet speeds and the latest technologies to their residents."
The technology has already been implemented in Kansas City and Provo, Utah. Internet speeds in those cities are now about 100 times faster than basic broadband. It will be in place in Austin, Texas later this year.

As I write this post, I can't believe it's actually happening. I did it. I finished Peace Corps. I have had some of this most amazing experiences here and equally some of the most difficult times. As I reflect on my two years, I can see how much I have changed and how much I've learned. I realize that I probably won't really appreciate how much I've changed for several years, but I thought it'd be worth reflecting on now.
Lessons learned
I think the most valuable lesson that Peace Corps taught me was to become more self-aware. I am now very aware of my own personal limitations and strengths. I know where I can succeed and I know what kind of environments are going to be a struggle for me. I know the minimum and maximum hours that I can spend alone before I get cranky. I know the number of hours of sleep I need so that I can be patient when my students babble in rapid Russian. And I know exactly how many vodka shots I can handle while still speaking Russian.
Peace Corps taught me to fail gracefully. Before I came to Ukraine, I would have said that my greatest fear was failure. I'm not sure how I'd answer now, but failure doesn't terrify me anymore. The sheer number of times one of my ideas was shot down, or my lessons didn't go well, or my students didn't show up to camps/clubs forced me to learn to be ok with failure and try again the next day. I had to learn to not take things as personally, move on, and try something different.
Along those same lines, I learned how to become more adaptable and flexible. Things change every day and it took me a long time to be ok with the constant change. Forget advanced planning, see where the day takes you and figure it out as you go.
Ukraine has boosted my self-confidence in many ways. After two long winters here and countless challenges, I have no doubt that I can handle anything Atlanta can throw at me. I have learned how to stand up for myself in Russian, and if I can handle angry Russian women, I have no doubt I can handle standing up for myself in English back home.
Finally, living for over two years away from home taught me to appreciate my incredible family and friends. I can't tell you how many times a care package, a letter or a skype chat helped me through tough times. As I pack up my things, I took some time to go through the cards that you all have sent me and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm not sure I'll ever really be able to express my gratitude, but please know how much I appreciated it.
Along with all the things that I've learned since being here, I have no doubt that I've picked up some new habits along the way. I've tried to make a list of them here as a way to warn everyone back home.
- I don't shake hands anymore and if a hand is extended, I will get really excited at having a rare chance to shake hands again.
- I don't pour my own drinks. I will sit patiently and wait until a man comes and offers me a refill.
- I will try to add mayonnaise to almost any salad served.
- I don't try to make plans very far in advance and I might flake on plans
- I won't be bothered if you're late. In fact, I expect you to be late so I bring my Kindle almost everywhere.
- I will wear makeup anytime I leave the house. And forget wearing running clothes to the grocery store.
- I will make sandwiches with just the bottom piece of bread.
- I will actively look for buckwheat in the grocery store.
- I will be thrilled when I hear songs in public in English.
- I prefer to drink fizzy water.
- I will put my pajamas on immediately when I get home.
- I will drink minimum 2 cups of tea a day
- I will be excited if your house has running water all day. And if it's hot water? Ohhh boy.
Finally, I decided to compile a list of things that I will miss about Ukraine.
- Colorful money of different sizes
- Really cheap fresh fruits and vegetables during the summer
- Ukrainian hospitality
- Availability of public transportation. Yes, it might not be reliable, comfortable, or fast, but it's nice being able to get around the country without a car.
- Fields of sunflowers
- People watching
- Being mistaken for a local. I always feel proud when it takes someone a few questions into the conversation before they learn that I'm a gringo.
- My students smiling when they see me coming down the hall
- Adult-sized juice boxes
- Repeating my outfits daily.
- It's rare, but I can occasionally make a joke in Russian! It's a tough combination of understanding the conversation, the cultural references, and getting the timing right. There are plenty of times I want to say something witty, but it took me too long to figure out how to say it and the conversation moved on.
As I sit in my empty, mostly packed apartment, I just can't believe it's over. We had a few goodbye parties at school last week, all of them full of tearful goodbyes, songs, dances, presents, and promises to keep in touch. I've become close with some truly wonderful people and it's going to be hard to start a new life without them. It's surreal to think that I get on a train to go to Kiev tomorrow night and I fly back to Atlanta on Friday. And whether I'm ready or not, the end is here and it's time to move on. I will always remember Ukraine fondly and I will never forget my two years here. Thank you again for all your support the past two years and до свидания!

Coral Quincy Chair 3 3
Unique and comfortable at a great price I bought this chair on sale and absolutely love it. Not only does it provide a unique accent to my living room, it's comfortable to sit in as well. The color is my favorite aspect, it's a bit brighter than pictured and is more coral than red. The quality seems solid and it was fairly easy for me to put together by myself. So glad that I purchased it! June 7, 2015
Great, long-lasting chair I own this chair in another color (a reddish color from 3 years ago). After 3 years of regular use as an office chair, an accent chair, and a primary seat during home renovations, I can honestly say that this chair is still in excellent condition. I am pretty hard on furniture since I have only a few pieces in a small downtown condo, but it has handled myself, guests, and pets well over the years. I hope World Market continues to offer these chairs for years to come, because I will continue to purchase these as I sell my house and buy another one with more space for trendy, cost efficient World Market pieces! January 24, 2015
Love this Chair!! Simply fell in love with this chair!! so comfy... Installation was little tough but managed to do it with my 9yr old daughter's help! Great Value and Beautiful to my decor~~ January 9, 2013

Your commentary clearly reveals your ideological bent. Why use the word "unifying" and belittle Fox News, Saria Palin and Glenn Beck? You proudly express your Obama connection, but decry "factionalism."
If Harrisburg, or the country for that matter, is to truly move forward we'll need open mindedness. Seems this is a rare commodity. More true problem solving could be accomplished if we can minimize the politics. Bad start to your quest.

"What the insurance companies are crying about is they now have to provide a minimum level of coverage which will have a price point set by the market and not themselves. They know that this price point will be driven lower due to the exchanges and the ability of the consumer to pick the lowest premium for the same coverage. They are upset because they now have to provide a minimum level of coverage for one price. Where they in the past have been able to gouge you by tacking on several fees for for each part of the coverage."
my coverage is through an employer that has a self-insured plan. Costs for 2011 will be up 11%. No "greedy" insurance company in the picture. Who should I blame for the increase?

Good question!
How did the dropout rate trend during Kohn's tenure? You usually learn more if you actually stay in school.
You're reading comprehension is questionable. I second newsbabe's comments. If you used the same reasoning abilities to determine that the healthcare bill now before congress is the best possible reform, then I can see why you might support it.
Universal single payer health insurance would not pay for food, utilities, rent or other of life's usual expenses. Too bad you used someone's personal tragedy to stump for a very flawed piece of legislation. I wish the best for the Miller family. nieco
Everything is a "vast rightwing consipiracy", correct? Joe Biden says it's "patriotic" to pay more. Have you read the BS articles about how Health Care Reform will save money, improve care and provide greater access to medicine? Do you believe that? After Obama straightens out the government greed and waste, then I'll listen to his rant on corporations. Have heard the "chicken in every pot" story before.

I'm fixated on education because I'm breaking my back to send three sons through college and grad school. As a family we are making tremendous sacrifices everyday. The costs are outrageous. Here comes Ms. Smith...0 qualifications, but has MR. BIG on her side. Pathetic!
Zero qualifications? In that case maybe someone could comment on the competence of the Board. She didn't appoint herself CEO.
PS Start a thread on the outrageous costs of higher education. And maybe your son would be better off in the long run if he paid his own way through grad school.
"She was appointed to the position four years ago. A position as an assistant for several years does NOT qualify one to run a company of this size. Is everyone in college and graduate school wasting their time and money? I'm glad she's out. She shouldn't have been there at all. I'd love to see her grades and SAT scores. It's a joke... really it is and everyone knows it".
Ok. Since this is your 3rd post saying essentially the same thing I have to ask, what are your qualifications to determine whether her qualifications qualify her to be CEO.
Each of your posts has a "sour grapes" tinge to them.
Palin first held elective office in 1992. Her "experience" forces a comparison with Obama's "experience." She has made concrete decisions, while Obama has merely opined on issues. Palin will be easy to identify with for many Americans. Apparently, her definition of "fair" (giving back state surplus to Alaskans),is different than Obama's (take more from you and give it to them).
The pressure is on Joe Biden. The VP debate may be the highlight of the election. Fasten your seatbelts! Will it be America or Amerika?

The distinction was welcomed by Jimmy Bell, men's soccer coach at PGCC.
"Umunna is a tremendous forward and it has been a year of great achievement for him," he said in a release from the school.

Harpswell Festival promises 'food, fun, fireworks'
HARPSWELL — Family-oriented, small-town fun and sunny skies are in the forecast for the ninth annual Harpswell Festival this weekend.
The fun kicks off at Mitchell field at 10 a.m. Sunday, July 29,to accommodate the arrival of lobster boat race spectators.
"(The lobster boat races are) a true Maine spectacle as far as I'm concerned," festival Executive Director Tom Allen said.
Now in their third decade, according to Allen, the races pit boats of different classes against each other in a drag race down Middle Bay.
While the lobster boat racers battle for the title of fastest boat, the festival opening ceremonies and parade open a day of fun for festival goers.
Crafters, food vendors and Harpie the Sea Serpent will be in attendance. Two stages will feature entertainment from music to dancers to local theater group Triple Thread. Pat Collwell and the Soul Sensations take the stage at 7:30 p.m. to entertain festival-goers until fireworks begin at 9 p.m.
Students from Mt. Ararat High School are in charge of running carnival games; proceeds from the games will benefit each class at the school.
Allen said that while organizers have tried different things over the past nine years, the basic format has remained the same.
"We've got food, fun and fireworks," he said. "People can come down and have something to eat, (we've got) games for the kids, music for the adults and then families can finish off the day with fireworks. And that's the formula."
He said that even with the challenge of organizing the festival and volunteers, the best part of organizing the event is looking down the midway and seeing people enjoying the annual carnival.
"It's a success because you've got people there and their doing fun things," he said. "We have a location that can't be topped. There's a beach you can access so you can go down and cool off, wade in the ocean. It's a beautiful day."

Sen. Lindsey Graham didn't have to go far to find ample inspiration for his bill aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of seriously mentally ill people.
That motivation came in the form of Alice Boland, a Walterboro woman with a history of psychiatric problems, who police say legally bought a gun and used it to try to shoot people on the sidewalk in front of Ashley Hall School on Rutledge Avenue right here in Charleston. She was unsuccessful.
Sen. Graham's bill would prevent anyone who has been treated against his will at a psychiatric hospital, or has avoided prison time by claiming insanity, from buying a gun from a retailer.
It is a move that would address a major problem with the country's existing background checks required for retail gun purchases. Surely most would agree that insane people should not own guns.
Sen. Graham's bill, which has bipartisan support, is a step in the right direction of reasonable gun control. It's difficult to imagine even the gun-rights lobby taking exception.
But Sen. Graham, thus far, has made it clear that the same background checks that regulate retail gun sales would not regulate the sale of guns at shows.
That is a pity. A shooting victim doesn't bleed less if the gun came from a gun show.
The senator fears that such private sales would create a slippery slope toward the creation of a national registry of firearms. It is not enough for Sen. Graham that Congress has prohibited a national registry. He should reconsider.
But meanwhile, his bill is worthy fodder for the Senate Judicial Committee to study along with other appealing bills that would outlaw straw gun purchases and limit the capacity of gun magazines. Allowing someone to purchase a gun legally and then sell it to someone who is not legally permitted to buy a gun only delays the unacceptable conclusion.
And one need look no further than Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., to know why it makes sense to limit the capacity of gun magazines. Some military-style, semi-automatic rifles, like the AR-15 used in the Newtown horror, are equipped with 30-round magazines. Some legal semi-automatic guns have magazines with 50 or even 100 rounds.
The National Rifle Association opposes such limits, but it has given some ground on more thorough background checks for gun purchases. Indeed, Sen. Graham said that he and the co-sponsors of the bill worked with mental health advocates and the NRA.
Americans do have a Second Amendment right to "keep and bear arms."
But that doesn't mean they can keep and bear any and all types of weapons.
It also doesn't mean that reasonable restrictions against mentally unbalanced people legally buying guns — and for more effective background checks to minimize that possibility — would be unconstitutional.
Before disputing those practical points, reconsider the lingering spectacle of an unstable young woman brandishing a loaded gun in front of a Charleston school.

I miss my son
who used to be
who cared about himself
and his family
Never one to show his
feelings openly
He was always there
When I needed him to be
We have been through
so much over the years
Anger, joy and so many
I know I didn't always
do the right thing
was not always good
at mothering
I knew that I could never
go back, and
fix all the wrongs
So I worked very hard
to set a new track
I tried to show you
the sunshine
and hope
and how great life can be
When you take it on
But when it came your
turn to choose
You chose the path
without any rules
I know it's dark
and it will
empty your soul
But always remember
You can still come
My baby boy would used to hold onto my legs everywhere I go. He was always with me. One day, he told me "mummy I will marry you." Where is my little boy now? Ex Took him and his sister away...
February 2006
Missing You, I Miss My Son
I miss my son

Tehachapi celebrates 50 years of rodeo Friday, Saturday with local ranch hands competing
Rodeo held at Tehachapi Rodeo Grounds
TEHACHAPI, Calif. - The city of Tehachapi will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the city's rodeo with the Ram Rodeo Series this Friday and Saturday.
Gates opened at the Tehachapi Rodeo Grounds off Dennison Road at 5 p.m., Friday night.
The event will feature a competition between the top cowboys and cowgirls in Kern County.
The Tehachapi Mountain Rodeo Association, a group of volunteers, organized the rodeo in order to preserve the western lifestyle.
"We think the moral fiber of the American icon, the cowboy, comes through our cowboys that compete not only in the area but through our pick-up men, our stock contractor, and the local ranchers that supports this (rodeo)," said Dal Bunn, committee chairman of the Tehachapi Mountain Rodeo Association .
Saturday nights performances start at 6 p.m.
General admission tickets are $15 and $13 for seniors, active military and children ages 5 to 12.

Adapt and treat it like a cup final – that's the advice from Jordan Henderson as the Reds begin their quest for an eighth FA Cup triumph with a trip to Mansfield on Sunday.
The Conference side, who play in the fifth tier of English football, welcome Brendan Rodgers' men to the One Call stadium with a giant-killing in mind.
And Henderson says Liverpool, who reached the FA Cup final in 2011-12, will have to approach the fixture as if it's a showpiece event.
"It'll be a tough game for us. It won't be a pushover. We will have to go there with the right mentality and do a good job," insisted the midfielder.
"It'll be different to what we're used to in the Premier League. But you always have different challenges in football. If we play like we are, then we can get a positive result.
"We'll have to adapt to the situation. I'm sure all the players will have played at small stadiums like that before, and it'll be a good atmosphere. It'll be noisy. We have to make sure we are on it from the very start and try to keep the home fans quiet.
"It'll be the biggest game for many of those Mansfield players. They'll be really up for it. It'll be a cup final for them, so we have to treat it as a cup final for us and do the job properly."
The 22-year-old enjoyed a regular berth in Rodgers' XI during the Christmas period and received a warm ovation when substituted against former club Sunderland on Wednesday.
"It meant a lot to be given that ovation by the fans when I was substituted," added Henderson, who reached 50 league appearances for the Reds in midweek.
"The fans have always been behind me since I came here. Things are going well for me at the moment."

WICKEDLY WITTY...it is, if I may say so, ONE HELL OF A GOOD SHOW! Lewis' topsy-turvy exercises in inverted moral theology were made to be played with lip-smacking relish!
Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
Take a look here to see if The Screwtape Letters is showing somewhere nearby
A smart, provocative and wickedly funny theatrical adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel about spiritual warfare from a demon's point of view.
The play follows the clever scheming a high level demon employs to entice a human toward damnation. In this inverted moral universe set in an office in hell, God is called the "Enemy" and the devil is referred to as "Our Father below." The stakes are high as human souls are the demon's primary source of food.
As His Abysmal Sublimity Screwtape, Max McLean, creates a "master of the universe" character, all too familiar to New Yorkers, whose rhetorical flourishes mesmerize while he allures.
At his feet is the creature-demon, Toadpipe, who transforms into the paragons of vice Screwtape conjures with a flick of Screwtape's fingers. The actors' combined skills wheedle their unsuspecting soul down the "soft, gentle path to Hell."
Opening night: 10 May 2013
Closing night: 11 May 2013
The Screwtape Letters is suitable for audiences aged 12 and upwards.

Group Says It Has New Evidence In Texas Execution
The Innocence Project says it's discovered new documents that undermine the credibility of a key witness at the trial of a North Texas man controversially executed for the arson deaths of his three children.
The New York-based nonprofit said Friday it had discovered a handwritten note that suggests prosecutor John H. Jackson may have given leniency to a jailhouse informant who said Cameron Todd Willingham confessed to killing his three children in 1991.
The note — included in an Innocence Project court filing — could suggest the witness, Johnny Webb, was charged with second-degree robbery instead of first-degree robbery.
The note is not signed or dated.
The Innocence Project wants Texas to give Willingham a posthumous pardon following his 2004 execution.
Jackson did not return a message.

Comments about DaKine Girls EQ Bag - LG - Women's:
This bag is GIGANTIC! Which is perfect, because that's what I needed. After years of trying to cram all of my gear into a gym duffle I decided to splurge and buy a bag large enough to fit all the gear, clothes and toiletries needed for a week long ski trip. Mission accomplished. After packing extra gear, clothing, two pairs of boots and my laptop there was still plenty of room left inside the bag. I love the pattern (I got the black/charcoal hounds tooth) and it was a price was super affordable.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Career, Practical, Stylish
I purchased this bag for my son's girlfriend for Christmas. They are both avid snowboarders and needed bags to transport their clothing and sport items from home to the resort. She loved the pattern and size. She has used the bag to bring items back and forth from college and home and says it is the perfect size. Very well made and it is attractive.

About Me Sporty
I use this bag to go to the gym 4-5x/wk. It easily holds a change of clothes, weight belt, shoes (in the extra pocket to keep the smell separate!), my toiletries bag and anything else I might need. It could use a little stiffer bottom and some more pockets, but other than that I love it!

Ah excellent stuff man. Only gripe is the main vocals sound like inhales, which I'm really not big on. It's not annoying or anything though so that works
YES! I can't wait for the new Sorrower album and another LA gig :D
Greetings from Phoenix.
I don't like this type of metal at all but somehow enjoyed it man hopefully Marcus Meng gives you guys some play and good luck dude
@Christopher, we'll be in LA on June 27 w/POOR. Still waiting on venue confirmation for that and one other show. I'll post tour dates as soon as all are confirmed. New record will be recorded after that tour hopefully. As far as the vocals go, yeah, Adam does some inhales. Our previous band together was a gore grind band and he got used to doing that style. Worked for us on the early stuff, but he's kinda changing things up recently.
I'm impressed! Brutal and raw stuff as grind should be; but like Brian, I'm not a fan of the inhaled vocals.
I just saw this :D
Yeah, we're playing that. Please note that there are three different dates on that event page. The one on the flyer, June 27, is the correct one!

BURLINGTON, Vt. – Sophomore forward Hannah Armstrong (Newmarket, Ontario) tallied a pair of goals as the University of New Hampshire women's hockey team rallied past the University of Vermont, 4-2, Saturday afternoon.
The win improves the Wildcats to 11-14-2 on the year and to 7-7-1 in Hockey East action while the Catamounts fall to 7-16-3 overall and to 5-7-3 in conference action.
Vermont's Kellie Dineen gave the Catamounts an early 1-0 lead just 38 seconds into the first period as she tallied her fifth goal of the year. Gina Repaci tallied the first assist on the play as Erin Wente notched the second. Hannah Armstrong (Newmarket, Ontario) responded at the 7:08 mark of the first with her sixth goal of the season on a power play. Senior Kailey Chappell (Pickering, Ontario) started the play as she sent the puck to classmate Kristina Lavoie (Fonthill, Ontario). Lavoie found Armstrong who then put it away to level the game at 1-1.
The Wildcats had a dominant start on offense in the first period, outshooting the Catamounts by a margin of 10-6. Through one period of play, the score was deadlocked at 1-1.
Armstrong and Lavoie connected again at 15:23 of the second period when Armstrong tallied her second goal of the game and seventh of the year. Lavoie tallied her second assist of the game and twelfth of the season on the play.
Both teams had an offensively productive second period as a total of 22 shots on goal were taken in the period. UNH converted on one of its twelve in the period while Vermont was stopped on all 10 by Wildcat netminder Marie-Eve Jean (Gatineau, Quebec). Through two periods of play, New Hampshire held a 2-1 lead.
The Catamounts opened up the third period with goal number two at the 2:02 mark of the stanza. Valerie Stoul recorded her first goal of the season on the play while Repaci tallied her second assist of the game and Delia McNally notched her first.
Arielle O'Neill (St. Catherines, Ontario) gave the Wildcats a 3-2 lead with a power play goal at 13:04 in the third period. Sara Carlson (Hutchinson, Minn.) and Kristine Horn (Utica, Mich.) each registered assists on the play. Lavoie gave the Wildcats some extra breathing room with 36 seconds left in the game when she tallied her seventh goal of the season on an empty net. O'Neill and Chappell assisted Lavoie on the play. As the clock struck zero, the Wildcats picked up a 4-2 victory over Vermont.
Jenn Gilligan (Maple Ridge, British Columbia) started the game in net for New Hampshire but was replaced by Jean after 38 seconds of play. Gilligan made two saves on the three shots she faced. Jean made 18 saves in relief on 19 shots faced and picked up her first win of the season, improving her record to 1-1-1. Vermont's Roxanne Douville got the loss in net after making 29 saves on 33 shots faced. Her record falls to 5-13-3 on the year.
The Wildcats took advantage on the power play, registering two goals in four opportunities while Vermont was held to 0-for-4 with the advantage.
New Hampshire returns to the ice on Saturday, Feb. 9 when they travel to Boston University to wrap up the season series with the Terriers. Puck drop is set for 3 p.m.

UKIP councillor Paul Clapp, in charge of social care in Cambridgeshire, brands political rival 'mentally ill'
Posted: May 29, 2014|
The UKIP councillor now in charge of adult social care in Cambridgeshire is under fire for branding a political rival "mentally ill".
Cllr Paul Clapp, chairman of the county council's adults committee, made the slur in a standards complaint against Steve Tierney, a former cabinet member on the authority.
In the complaint, Cllr Clapp claimed Cllr Tierney, a member of Wisbech Town Council, had "done everything in his power to discredit" Cllr Alan Lay, who beat Cllr Tierney to the Roman Bank and Peckover county council seat last year.
The complaint focuses on an incident in which Cllr Tierney "thrust" his mobile phone at Cllr Lay to film him at a town council meeting.
Cllr Clapp, who represents Wisbech North, wrote: "What he is saying at the moment in my oppinion [sic] is at least slanderous and if this is how Cllr Tierney gets his kicks then in my oppinion [sic] he is mentally ill and should not be a part of Wisbech Town Council."
Cllr Clapp's comments have been criticised by Cllr Martin Curtis, the ex-county council leader, who said they "demeaned mental health as an issue".
Cllr Curtis, who has submitted a standards complaint against Cllr Clapp, said: "I cannot see how the public can have confidence in an adults committee with Cllr Clapp as chairman, he should resign.
"If he doesn't he should be told to resign by his group leader."
Cllr Clapp declined to comment but Cllr Paul Bullen, the leader of the UKIP group, said he would keep the chairmanship.
Cllr Bullen said: "It was not the right choice of words to put in a standards complaint.
"Cllr Clapp is aware of this and regrets the wording used but doesn't feel the complaint was unwarranted."
The complaint comes after Cllr Gordon Gillick, another member of the UKIP group, was forced to apologise after he allegedly branded children in care "takers" from society.
A county council spokesman said: "The council has received a complaint about Cllr Paul Clapp. This is now being investigated and as such it would be inappropriate for the council to comment further."

Never in my lifetime would I have thought I'd see the day when Michigan wasn't a player in the race for the Big Ten title, but that's exactly what one horrible hire did. The Rich Rodriguez era will be remembered for having the most losses in any 3 year period since Michigan began playing Big Ten football in 1896. Fast forward to 2011 and fans of the Maize and Blue have their "Michigan Man" in Brady Hoke who comes back to Ann Arbor after leading a resurgence at Ball State and San Diego State. Wolverines fans got their 1st in person glimpse of the Brady Hoke era on April 16th, so what questions were answered and what question remain after the 1st public practice of the year?
2010 Season: 7-6(3-5) Tie for 7th in Big Ten
Postseason: Gator Bowl (14-52L to Mississippi State)
Head Coach: Brady Hoke - 1st year at Michigan (47-50 in 8 years overall)
Spring Game: 14-7 Blue over Maize on April 16th
Returning Starters: 19(9 offense, 8 defense, and 2 special teams)
2011 Outlook: Badgers fans were incredible in helping to support the School of Nursing this past Saturday and Michigan did something similar with their game on the 16th only not by charging admission. The estimated 25,000 people in attendance donated money at will to the Mott Children's Hospital to the tune of $352,000. A tip of the hat for that and it's a great way to get the Brady Hoke era off on the right foot.
O.k., enough with the charity and on to the things you are all here for and that's what happened on the field, right? 2011 should be a very interesting year of transition for this program as it goes from the Spread offense brought in by Rich Rodriguez to the typical Pro-Style offense of Michigan's past. Running that offense will be the man that took the Big Ten by storm last year, Denard Robinson. He's also the center of most of the questions surrounding the offense as his transition to a game behind center and becoming a more typical QB will be run through the ringer by fans and media alike. His Spring game started off well with a nice 55yd run that was designed to get him comfortable and he ended his day 5-14 passing for 68 yards and 60 yards rushing. Those numbers may not be all that impressive, but it is only Spring Practice and the point was made more than once that this was mostly about getting him reps under center and working on his fundamentals. OC All Borges did hint at how they would handle his transition, stating "in the real world, he'll probably run more than he did today." Borges also went on to say "We can facilitate that within our offense, we have to try to develop the other phases of our offense that are going to make us a better football team. One of them is power running and there was an emphasis on that today."
To that end the Wolverines are going to have to count on Robinson to open up the running game for the regular RB's who are led by returning leading rusher Vincent Smith who only had a 4.4ypc average on 601yds. If the Spring was any indication it could be a year or two before the old smash mouth running attack of the Maize and Blue is back in full working order. It also has to do with the state of the Offensive Line, which has been in shambles over the past 3 seasons. At multiple points the QB's and in one case Hoke himself were left scrambling away from an onslaught of defenders.
Don't get it twisted though, the defense has it's own transition underway as it goes to a pro style 4-3 system under new Defensive Coordinator Greg Mattison. He'd know a thing or two about the pro system having worked for the Ravens last year. The spring game provided some good work for his unit as it learns the ins and outs of a style of play they aren't used to. Luckily there are plenty of building blocks on this defense. Leading the way is the Secondary, yes the same secondary that struggled in 2010. The difference in 2011 is a healthy core of Cornerbacks(both J.B. Fitzgerald and Troy Woolfolk are back after missing the majority of 2010) who will be counted on a lot in the pass happy Legends Division. Overall the defense looked a bit more free and physical and can count on all-Big Ten Safety Jordan Kovacs(116 tackles in 2010) to be a more vocal leader. He seems to like this style of play a lot stating in his post game presser, "It's an NFL defense, there's a lot more stunting and stuff like that. It's been a lot to get used to this spring. It's been a roller-coaster ride, up and down, and there's a lot of work to be done yet." Also encouraging for Wolverines fans was the play of fellow Safety Carvin Johnson, who had 2 interceptions in the Spring Game. Even with that play Johnson wasn't the star of the game. That honor belonged to Linebacker Jake Ryan had a sack and an INT for a TD.
You'll find the Big Ten Network's highlights of the Maize & Blue's Spring game as well as a more in depth version below. It's really too bad the Badgers won't get the Wolverines for a few years though 'cause I have a gut feeling this program won't be down for long and should be back to it's normal heights soon meaning we'll catch them on the way up. As always... ON WISCONSIN!!

No decision from DA on charges in Henderson intruder death
OXFORD — A decision is pending on whether a Henderson homeowner who on Sunday shot and killed an apparent intruder will face any charges, District Attorney Sam Currin said Tuesday.
Currin said an investigation continues into the shooting death of Deyon Durham, a 24-year-old who according to police reports was at 1221 Montgomery Street Extension at 7 a.m. when confronted by the homeowner and shot dead.
The homeowner has not been identified.
In an incident report, Henderson Police Department Officer Wesley Strader stated a break-in attempt included breaking a passenger side window of a green 1999 Chevrolet truck with a brick as part of an effort to remove property.
Strader's report excluded the name of the homeowner, identifying him only as a black male, age 49.
Currin said short of charges, there is no reason for law enforcement investigators to make the homeowner's name public.
"We are trying to get information together on whether or not this person will be charged," Currin said. "We know who it is, but until we make that decision there's no reason to be identifying him."
Currin added that he believes a decision is coming soon.
"We discussed it yesterday," he said. "It will probably be before Christmas that we will make a decision."
Currin said the release of victim and reporting persons names in incident reports is left to the local police agency's discretion.
"It's their investigation," he said.
So far, Henderson police reports stated Durham, of 279 Faulkner St., was pronounced dead at the scene at just after 7 a.m, Sunday.
Lt. Christopher Ball declined to say if others were present at the time of the shooting or where the shooting took place on the property.
According to state incarceration records, Durham had been convicted of multiple break-in, larceny and sexual offenses in the past. He was recently jailed for failing to maintain current information on the sex offender registry.
