During what he called one of the worst cold spells in decades, U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., is calling on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to release $35 million in federal heating funds to residents throughout New York.
If the money is released, an additional 31,000 residents in the north country are expected to receive $13 million through the Home Energy Assistance Program, which provides regular or emergency benefits to low-income households that spend a high portion on their income on heating expenses.
The money is being withheld by the department in anticipation of possible cold snaps later in the year, but Sen. Schumer said that is not necessary because he expects Congress to provide more funding for the HEAP program in this years budget.
Nows the time to add to the program, not subtract, Sen. Schumer said during a conference call with reporters.
He said he expects that the Senate Appropriations Committee will be able to add a couple hundred million dollars to the overall program, resulting in tens of millions in extra funding to New York state in particular.
Were not the coldest state, thats North Dakota, and we dont have the greatest number of people, thats California, but in New York we have the greatest number of people in the cold, Sen. Schumer said.
The Department of Health and Human Services has allocated $351 million to New York for the winter, but thus far has released only $316 million of those funds.
Paying out the remainder of the funds will help New York residents, especially senior citizens, who are struggling to cope with below-average temperatures this year.
New Yorkers should not be forced to choose between putting food on the table, paying for prescription drugs or paying for heating, Sen. Schumer said.
From September 2012 through October 2013, more than 1.5 million households in New York received HEAP funding in the amount of $306,250,583, according to Sen. Schumers office.
This winter, 63,137 north country households are expected to receive $29,928,194 in HEAP funding, the senators office said.

Hey everyone,
I'll start off and introduce myself. My name is Jessica and I'm from New Orleans, LA. Today, my boyfriend and I decided to adopt the sweetest and cutest puppy from the Jefferson Feed Pet & Garden Center. Her name was Tootsie there, but she never responded to it, and I didn't feel as if she liked it, so we renamed her to Paisley. Well, at the Jefferson Feed Pet & Garden Center, they said that Paisley is a Lab/Hound Mix and they also said that she is 8 months old. My boyfriend and I believe otherwise. We both think that she is a Mountain Cur/Pitbull Mix and we believe that she's about 6 months old AT MOST. I wanted to ask what everyone on here thinks!
Thanks for reading! =)

BALTIMORE, Md. (WUSA) -- The bodies of five victims, including four children, were discovered in the aftermath of a 2-alarm blaze in Northeast Baltimore on Thursday morning.
WJZ reported the victims were identified as a grandmother and her grandchildren, who were ages 1, 2, 4 and 7. 9News' Scott Broom says the grandmother was the matriarch of an extended family and according to neighbors, there may have been 10 to 12 people in the house on Wednesday night.
The Baltimore Sun and neighbors say that the couple of the house are named Nancy and William Worrells. It's believed they have 19 children and many grandchildren.
Kevin Cartwright, Director of Communications for the Baltimore City Fire Department, says the deadly fire broke out just after 2:00 Thursday morning in the 5600 block of Denwood Avenue. The first firefighters to arrive at the scene found heavy flames and smoke coming from the first and second floors of the home.
WJZ quoted Cartwright as saying,"This was literally an inferno."
Part 1:http://statter911.com/files/2012/10/MD-Baltimore-Denwood-fire-5-dead-mayday-pt-1.mp3
Part 2:http://statter911.com/files/2012/10/MD-Baltimore-Denwood-fire-5-dead-mayday-pt-2.mp3
According to Cartwright, firefighters established water supply lines and went inside to attack the fire. That is when crews witnessed one of the occupants jumping from a second floor window to escape the flames.
Firefighters then went to the second floor to look for people reported to be trapped. Once crews made it to the upper level of the home one of the firefighters fell through the flooring all the way to the basement. A mayday was sounded and the fallen firefighter was immediately located and rescued. Cartwright says the firefighter was treated at the scene and transported to Bayview Burn Center and is considered stable at this time. According to a Tweet from the Baltimore City Fire Department, a second firefighter was also injured. The civilian who jumped from the second floor was also transported to Bayview Burn Center.
The firefighters are expected to be okay.
Once the heavy fire was doused firefighters were able to continue their search for the victims who had been reported to be trapped. Unfortunately, the bodies of five deceased victims were discovered in their initial search.
The fire was placed under control approximately one hour and forty minutes after it was dispatched.
An MTA bus was on the scene sheltering family members.

POTSDAM There was a high ratio of fun to hard work at Clarkson University on Wednesday.
It is fun to be here, said Olivia Baker, a student at Hermon-DeKalb Central School. Ive learned the numbers of pi. That is something I didnt know before.
To be fair, Ms. Baker didnt learn all of the infinite digits of pi at Clarksons Pi Day, but she did learn a lot.
Pi Day, an informal recognition of pi, the ratio between a circles diameter and its circumference estimated at 3.14, is usually celebrated on March 14.
The mathematician in me says 3.14 is an approximation anyway, said Peter R. Turner, dean of arts and sciences. So were making an approximation of approximation.
Pi Day was first celebrated in 1988. The U.S. House of Representatives voted to recognize it in 2009.
Mr. Turner said Clarkson has celebrated Pi Day for five years.
I think this is the biggest one yet, he said.
Middle and high school students from Potsdam, Norwood-Norfolk, St. Lawrence Central, Harrisville, Heuvelton, Ogdensburg, Colton-Pierrepont, Hermon-DeKalb, Edwards-Knox and Carthage schools attended the event, along with the Akwesasne Boys & Girls Club.
The students circulated through Snell Hall, snacking on cupcakes and pizza while engaging in more than 30 different activites, each illustrating a different component or application of Pi.
At one table, students had to estimate how far back a catapult had to be cocked to accurately launch a ball into a bucket. Austin Smith, Buffalo, a Clarkson mechanical engineering major, explained that the arc of the catapults arm could be described as a segment of a circle.
I am an initiate in the mechanical engineers honors society, he said. We have a community service requirement, and this is part of it.
The catapult activity was a favorite of Jack Lennon, a student at Edwards-Knox Central School.
I havent done everything, but so far it is the catapult thing, he said. I learned that Pi has a lot to do with circles.
Nearby, Eric E. Fredette, an engineering student from Berlin, N.H., was wiping shaving cream from his face.
The game here is we challenge students to calculate the area of a circle, he said. If they get it right, they get to throw a shaving cream pie at me. Im having a blast, and it seems like the kids like it.
The activities were thought up by Clarkson students, said physics professor Michael W. Ramsdell, who helped organize Wednesdays event.
Their response is fantastic. they come up with great ideas, he said. The children get to interact with Clarkson students, and then they interact with each other. They come together and tell each other about what theyve learned.
Clarkson mathematics professor Kathleen R. Fowler, another event organizer, said Pi Day was another tool used by Clarkson to get young students enthusiastic about math and science.
Theres educational research showing students lose interest in math and science by middle school, she said. We want to get students active while theyre learning.
Mr. Turner, the dean, said Pi Day is part of Clarksons science, techology, engineering and math pipeline to funnel more north country students into in-demand fields.
Ultimately, it is just another piece, he said. If we end up with some number of these students at Clarkson, thats just a bonus. Down the road, maybe some of these students will become math and science teachers in our schools here.
Pi Day is sponsored by the Clarkson University IMPETUS Program through a $234,000 STEP grant from the State Education Department. IMPETUS, short for Integrated Math and Physics for Entry to Undergraduate STEM (Science, Technology Engineering, Mathematics), is a cooperation among Clarkson, the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services and the STEM Partnership. The program offers day camps, after-school programs and tutoring to local public school students. The event is held in partnership with the SUNY Potsdam STEP program.

OGDENSBURG Growing up in Massena, Edward A. LaVarnway can remember boyhood trips to Ogdensburg to visit relatives and now and then making the trek to the Frederic Remington Art Museum on Washington Street.
One thing stayed with him as he looked at the late artists sculptures, illustrations and paintings.
I was always fascinated by the bronzes, Mr. LaVarnway, 62, recalled Tuesday.
Mr. LaVarnway has been executive director of the museum since August 2005. He is retiring this year, once a successor is chosen by the museums board of trustees.
Mr. LaVarnways arrival at the museum actually started out as a search with his wife, Karan, for a waterfront vacation house from their home base in Albany, where he worked as a stockbroker. They found the house, on the Oswegatchie River in the town of Oswegatchie.
But in a November 2004 issue of the Sunday Advance News, Mr. LaVarnway found something else.
And then the ad, he said.
It was a classified ad for the museums executive directors position. Thinking of the new house and maybe all those fascinating bronzes, Mr. LaVarnway made the plunge complete by changing his career.
He said it has been a satisfying change.
I really like the people I work with, Mr. LaVarnway said. Theyre wonderful people. Its a great group.
That camaraderie has come in handy, especially when Mr. LaVarnway knew from the start that running a museum was no cushy ride.
Its a business, isnt it? he said.
A business that is not unlike others in tough times. He has weathered tight budgets, decreased donations and the assault on the museums endowment, standing at $600,000 but battered by a fluctuating stock market.
Well, we struggled, Mr. LaVarnway said. St. Lawrence County is economically challenged.
The museum, he said, is using its art outreach programs at local schools that face cutbacks in art programs.
The museum is trying to fill that gap, Mr. LaVarnway said.
Mr. LaVarnway said the highlight of his tenure at the Remington has been the $4.5 million Centennial Campaign that so far has raised $2,012,000 to pay for ongoing renovations at the 89-year-old landmark at 303 Washington St. The museum boasts 17,000 visitors and 100,000 website hits annually.
His efforts havent gone unnoticed.
Ed has been and continues to be very, very dedicated to the museum, said museum Board of Trustees President William J. Cavanaugh. I will miss working with him.
Trustee emeritus Wesley L. Stitt, whom Mr. LaVarnway calls his mentor, is also a fan.
Hes done very well, Mr. Stitt said. Nothing but good.

(A) In a proceeding involving an alleged offense against a child, the attorney for the Government, the child's attorney, or a guardian ad litem appointed under subsection (h) may apply for an order that the child's testimony be taken in a room outside the courtroom and be televised by 2-way closed circuit television. The person seeking such an order shall apply for such an order at least 7 days before the trial date, unless the court finds on the record that the need for such an order was not reasonably foreseeable.
(B) The court may order that the testimony of the child be taken by closed-circuit television as provided in subparagraph (A) if the court finds that the child is unable to testify in open court in the presence of the defendant, for any of the following reasons:
(ii) There is a substantial likelihood, established by expert testimony, that the child would suffer emotional trauma from testifying.
(C) The court shall support a ruling on the child's inability to testify with findings on the record. In determining whether the impact on an individual child of one or more of the factors described in subparagraph (B) is so substantial as to justify an order under subparagraph (A), the court may question the minor in chambers, or at some other comfortable place other than the courtroom, on the record for a reasonable period of time with the child attendant, the prosecutor, the child's attorney, the guardian ad litem, and the defense counsel present.
(D) If the court orders the taking of testimony by television, the attorney for the Government and the attorney for the defendant not including an attorney pro se for a party shall be present in a room outside the courtroom with the child and the child shall be subjected to direct and cross-examination. The only other persons who may be permitted in the room with the child during the child's testimony are—
(iv) other persons whose presence is determined by the court to be necessary to the welfare and well-being of the child, including an adult attendant.
The child's testimony shall be transmitted by closed circuit television into the courtroom for viewing and hearing by the defendant, jury, judge, and public. The defendant shall be provided with the means of private, contemporaneous communication with the defendant's attorney during the testimony. The closed circuit television transmission shall relay into the room in which the child is testifying the defendant's image, and the voice of the judge.

(II) There is a substantial likelihood, established by expert testimony, that the child would suffer emotional trauma from testifying in open court.
(ii) If the court finds that the child is likely to be unable to testify in open court for any of the reasons stated in clause (i), the court shall order that the child's deposition be taken and preserved by videotape.
(iii) The trial judge shall preside at the videotape deposition of a child and shall rule on all questions as if at trial. The only other persons who may be permitted to be present at the proceeding are—
(VI) other persons whose presence is determined by the court to be necessary to the welfare and well-being of the child.
The defendant shall be afforded the rights applicable to defendants during trial, including the right to an attorney, the right to be confronted with the witness against the defendant, and the right to cross-examine the child.
(iv) If the preliminary finding of inability under clause (i) is based on evidence that the child is unable to testify in the physical presence of the defendant, the court may order that the defendant, including a defendant represented pro se, be excluded from the room in which the deposition is conducted. If the court orders that the defendant be excluded from the deposition room, the court shall order that 2-way closed circuit television equipment relay the defendant's image into the room in which the child is testifying, and the child's testimony into the room in which the defendant is viewing the proceeding, and that the defendant be provided with a means of private, contemporaneous communication with the defendant's attorney during the deposition.
(v) Handling of videotape.— The complete record of the examination of the child, including the image and voices of all persons who in any way participate in the examination, shall be made and preserved on video tape in addition to being stenographically recorded. The videotape shall be transmitted to the clerk of the court in which the action is pending and shall be made available for viewing to the prosecuting attorney, the defendant, and the defendant's attorney during ordinary business hours.
(C) If at the time of trial the court finds that the child is unable to testify as for a reason described in subparagraph (B)(i), the court may admit into evidence the child's videotaped deposition in lieu of the child's testifying at the trial. The court shall support a ruling under this subparagraph with findings on the record.
(D) Upon timely receipt of notice that new evidence has been discovered after the original videotaping and before or during trial, the court, for good cause shown, may order an additional videotaped deposition. The testimony of the child shall be restricted to the matters specified by the court as the basis for granting the order.
(E) In connection with the taking of a videotaped deposition under this paragraph, the court may enter a protective order for the purpose of protecting the privacy of the child.
(F) The videotape of a deposition taken under this paragraph shall be destroyed 5 years after the date on which the trial court entered its judgment, but not before a final judgment is entered on appeal including Supreme Court review. The videotape shall become part of the court record and be kept by the court until it is destroyed.
(c) Competency Examinations.—
(1) Effect of federal rules of evidence.— Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to abrogate rule 601 of the Federal Rules of Evidence.
(3) Requirement of written motion.— A competency examination regarding a child witness may be conducted by the court only upon written motion and offer of proof of incompetency by a party.
(4) Requirement of compelling reasons.— A competency examination regarding a child may be conducted only if the court determines, on the record, that compelling reasons exist. A child's age alone is not a compelling reason.
(5) Persons permitted to be present.— The only persons who may be permitted to be present at a competency examination are—
(6) Not before jury.— A competency examination regarding a child witness shall be conducted out of the sight and hearing of a jury.
(7) Direct examination of child.— Examination of a child related to competency shall normally be conducted by the court on the basis of questions submitted by the attorney for the Government and the attorney for the defendant including a party acting as an attorney pro se. The court may permit an attorney but not a party acting as an attorney pro se to examine a child directly on competency if the court is satisfied that the child will not suffer emotional trauma as a result of the examination.
(8) Appropriate questions.— The questions asked at the competency examination of a child shall be appropriate to the age and developmental level of the child, shall not be related to the issues at trial, and shall focus on determining the child's ability to understand and answer simple questions.
(d) Privacy Protection.—
(1) Confidentiality of information.—
(A) A person acting in a capacity described in subparagraph (B) in connection with a criminal proceeding shall—
(i) keep all documents that disclose the name or any other information concerning a child in a secure place to which no person who does not have reason to know their contents has access; and
(B) Subparagraph (A) applies to—
(i) all employees of the Government connected with the case, including employees of the Department of Justice, any law enforcement agency involved in the case, and any person hired by the Government to provide assistance in the proceeding;
(iii) the defendant and employees of the defendant, including the attorney for the defendant and persons hired by the defendant or the attorney for the defendant to provide assistance in the proceeding; and
(2) Filing under seal.— All papers to be filed in court that disclose the name of or any other information concerning a child shall be filed under seal without necessity of obtaining a court order. The person who makes the filing shall submit to the clerk of the court—
(3) Protective orders.—
(A) On motion by any person the court may issue an order protecting a child from public disclosure of the name of or any other information concerning the child in the course of the proceedings, if the court determines that there is a significant possibility that such disclosure would be detrimental to the child.
(B) A protective order issued under subparagraph (A) may—
(i) provide that the testimony of a child witness, and the testimony of any other witness, when the attorney who calls the witness has reason to anticipate that the name of or any other information concerning a child may be divulged in the testimony, be taken in a closed courtroom; and
(4) Disclosure of information.— This subsection does not prohibit disclosure of the name of or other information concerning a child to the defendant, the attorney for the defendant, a multidisciplinary child abuse team, a guardian ad litem, or an adult attendant, or to anyone to whom, in the opinion of the court, disclosure is necessary to the welfare and well-being of the child.
(e) Closing the Courtroom.— When a child testifies the court may order the exclusion from the courtroom of all persons, including members of the press, who do not have a direct interest in the case. Such an order may be made if the court determines on the record that requiring the child to testify in open court would cause substantial psychological harm to the child or would result in the child's inability to effectively communicate. Such an order shall be narrowly tailored to serve the Government's specific compelling interest.
(f) Victim Impact Statement.— In preparing the presentence report pursuant to rule 32(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the probation officer shall request information from the multidisciplinary child abuse team and other appropriate sources to determine the impact of the offense on the child victim and any other children who may have been affected. A guardian ad litem appointed under subsection (h) shall make every effort to obtain and report information that accurately expresses the child's and the family's views concerning the child's victimization. A guardian ad litem shall use forms that permit the child to express the child's views concerning the personal consequences of the child's victimization, at a level and in a form of communication commensurate with the child's age and ability.
(g) Use of Multidisciplinary Child Abuse Teams.—
(1) In general.— A multidisciplinary child abuse team shall be used when it is feasible to do so. The court shall work with State and local governments that have established multidisciplinary child abuse teams designed to assist child victims and child witnesses, and the court and the attorney for the Government shall consult with the multidisciplinary child abuse team as appropriate.
(2) Role of multidisciplinary child abuse teams.— The role of the multidisciplinary child abuse team shall be to provide for a child services that the members of the team in their professional roles are capable of providing, including—
(A) medical diagnoses and evaluation services, including provision or interpretation of x-rays, laboratory tests, and related services, as needed, and documentation of findings;
(D) psychological and psychiatric diagnoses and evaluation services for the child, parent or parents, guardian or guardians, or other caregivers, or any other individual involved in a child victim or child witness case;
(F) case service coordination and assistance, including the location of services available from public and private agencies in the community; and
(h) Guardian Ad Litem.—
(1) In general.— The court may appoint, and provide reasonable compensation and payment of expenses for, a guardian ad litem for a child who was a victim of, or a witness to, a crime involving abuse or exploitation to protect the best interests of the child. In making the appointment, the court shall consider a prospective guardian's background in, and familiarity with, the judicial process, social service programs, and child abuse issues. The guardian ad litem shall not be a person who is or may be a witness in a proceeding involving the child for whom the guardian is appointed.
(2) Duties of guardian ad litem.— A guardian ad litem may attend all the depositions, hearings, and trial proceedings in which a child participates, and make recommendations to the court concerning the welfare of the child. The guardian ad litem may have access to all reports, evaluations and records, except attorney's work product, necessary to effectively advocate for the child. (The extent of access to grand jury materials is limited to the access routinely provided to victims and their representatives.) A guardian ad litem shall marshal and coordinate the delivery of resources and special services to the child. A guardian ad litem shall not be compelled to testify in any court action or proceeding concerning any information or opinion received from the child in the course of serving as a guardian ad litem.
(i) Adult Attendant.— A child testifying at or attending a judicial proceeding shall have the right to be accompanied by an adult attendant to provide emotional support to the child. The court, at its discretion, may allow the adult attendant to remain in close physical proximity to or in contact with the child while the child testifies. The court may allow the adult attendant to hold the child's hand or allow the child to sit on the adult attendant's lap throughout the course of the proceeding. An adult attendant shall not provide the child with an answer to any question directed to the child during the course of the child's testimony or otherwise prompt the child. The image of the child attendant, for the time the child is testifying or being deposed, shall be recorded on videotape.
(j) Speedy Trial.— In a proceeding in which a child is called to give testimony, on motion by the attorney for the Government or a guardian ad litem, or on its own motion, the court may designate the case as being of special public importance. In cases so designated, the court shall, consistent with these rules, expedite the proceeding and ensure that it takes precedence over any other. The court shall ensure a speedy trial in order to minimize the length of time the child must endure the stress of involvement with the criminal process. When deciding whether to grant a continuance, the court shall take into consideration the age of the child and the potential adverse impact the delay may have on the child's well-being. The court shall make written findings of fact and conclusions of law when granting a continuance in cases involving a child.
(k) Stay of Civil Action.— If, at any time that a cause of action for recovery of compensation for damage or injury to the person of a child exists, a criminal action is pending which arises out of the same occurrence and in which the child is the victim, the civil action shall be stayed until the end of all phases of the criminal action and any mention of the civil action during the criminal proceeding is prohibited. As used in this subsection, a criminal action is pending until its final adjudication in the trial court.
(l) Testimonial Aids.— The court may permit a child to use anatomical dolls, puppets, drawings, mannequins, or any other demonstrative device the court deems appropriate for the purpose of assisting a child in testifying.
(m) Prohibition on Reproduction of Child Pornography.—
(1) In any criminal proceeding, any property or material that constitutes child pornography (as defined by section 2256 of this title) shall remain in the care, custody, and control of either the Government or the court.
(A) Notwithstanding Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, a court shall deny, in any criminal proceeding, any request by the defendant to copy, photograph, duplicate, or otherwise reproduce any property or material that constitutes child pornography (as defined by section 2256 of this title), so long as the Government makes the property or material reasonably available to the defendant.
(B) For the purposes of subparagraph (A), property or material shall be deemed to be reasonably available to the defendant if the Government provides ample opportunity for inspection, viewing, and examination at a Government facility of the property or material by the defendant, his or her attorney, and any individual the defendant may seek to qualify to furnish expert testimony at trial.

Travel Awards Readers' Choice Awards
Readers' Choice Awards 2014
With over a million votes from nearly 77,000 readers, here are your favorite cities, islands, hotels, resorts, and cruise lines in the world. As always, it's a broad spread—from luxurious safari camps in Africa to beautifully restored palaces in Italy, perennial favorite cities Charleston, South Carolina and Florence, Italy, and far-flung islands in the Philippines. Whatever your tastes may be, you'll find something and somewhere to inspire you to pack bags and follow your fellow travelers. Enjoy, explore, and engage further online (and for how this year's winners were chosen, see our Reader's Choice Award ranking explanation).
XV Beacon in Boston is your favorite U.S. hotel, narrowly beating last year's winner the 21C Museum Hotel in Cincinnati. When it comes to big cities, Chicago is a winner with three hotels in the Top 10: the recently opened Langham and Thompson and much-loved Waldorf Astoria. The top two resorts in the country are both family-friendly dude ranches—the Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch in Wyoming and Triple Creek Ranch in Montana—both rated above an impressive 98.000 percent. Colorado alone warrants its own list for the first time, with newcomer Gateway Canyons Resort in a breathtaking valley on the border with Utah. Read on for the full list.
Italy really shines this year, with an abundance of small hotels leading your list of 50—Il Salviatino on the outskirts of Florence, Castello di Casole in the heart of Tuscany, and Palazzo Avino along the Amalfi Coast. France and England exhibit a similar trend with the Summer Lodge in Dorset and the Domaine des Hauts de Loire, three hours southwest of Paris, as favorite country retreats. Read on for the full list.
China leads the way with an impressive list of five-star properties in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong. Topping the list? The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong—"the sort of place you dream of staying in," quote our readers. Read on for the full list.
Less than an hour on a ferry from downtown Vancouver, Vancouver Island and its hotels and resorts continue to impress—wild beaches with passing whales and flowering gardens straight out of England. Read on for the full list.
Far beyond favorite over-water bungalows in French Polynesia, you explored the Southern Hemisphere more than ever with tales from Kangaroo, Hamilton, and Lord Howe islands. For more from Down Under, click here.
Critters run wild across the invisible border between Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa. It's why you love it so much. Read on for the full list of safari camps, lodges, and more.

Note: Defenseman John Carlson Re-Signs With The Caps
The Capitals have announced that they have signed defenseman John Carlson to a six year deal worth $23.8 million.
It has been suggested that Michael Del Zotto is looking for a long-term deal rather than the short-term deal the Rangers have offered him.
Carlson, like Del Zotto, was drafted in 2008 and was a restricted free agent.
Carlson has 75 points in 186 games while Del Zotto has 89 in 204 career games.
Del Zotto and Carlson were teammates with the London Knights.
Del Zotto needs to sign by 5PM today to have his contract registered before the CBA expires.

beyerdynamic provides District Office of Friedrichshafen with audio technology
The large conference room of the District Office of Friedrichshafen (Germany) has been equipped with a wired conference system from beyerdynamic. Sixty MCS 553 microphone units for under the table installation with gooseneck microphones and piezo buttons were installed. This microphone unit is ideal for unobtrusive permanent installations. Only the gooseneck microphone and the button with LED ring can be seen. Furthermore, the Opus 300 wireless system was provided for the use with handheld transmitter or beltpack transmitter and clip-on microphone.
The steno-s Conference and Recording software is also used, which is ideal to complement beyerdynamic's conference systems to record meetings and to mark certain items in the recording to recall them later, e.g. when writing the minutes.
Many other District Offices are already provided with audio technology from beyerdynamic such as Tuebingen, Goeppingen, Boeblingen, Ulm and Calw (Germany).

Sorry if this is the wrong section!
I have 2x 120gig drives striped in windows to make a single 240 gig dirve and my Windows XP is on a seperate drive.... If I reinstall Winsows on the seperate drive will I still have the data on the striped dirves, will the new installation of windows see the striped drive...
Many thanks
Yes. Installing on a separate drive will keep your data on these 2 disks intact (provided you don't format / alter them in any way during installation).
Windows will continue to see the drive, since from what you say it appears as if you have used Windows software RAID 0 to achieve the 240 GB disk. Since windows will have made these drives dynamic, and updated its signature accordingly, any other version / installation (newer) of windows which supports software RAID 0 will recognize the signature and will treat the drives as they should be.

John Leguizamo Gossip
John Leguizamo gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Make your move
Larry Busacca/Getty
Glenn Close was surrounded by a rather eclectic group last night at a screening in New York for Albert Nobbs that included John Leguizamo and Sinead O'Connor along with Close's Albert Nobbs co-star Mia Wasikowska. Also in New York, Meryl Streep with her husband Don Gummer at the premiere of The Iron Lady. Full Story
Wintour loves Winona
Me too! Anna Wintour certainly has her favourites and Winona Ryder has long been one of them. Also helps that Winona is also a favourite of Marc Jacobs which explains the dress on the cover and her devotion, even before he was "Marc Jacobs", to his designs. After several tough years, it appears Nonie is one her way back. Full Story
Homo to Homo
As my colleague Deano said earlier: too easy. Check out John Travolta chatting up John Waters last night following the Hairspray premiere. It's all in the wrist, you know? No but seriously...isn"t Revolting rockin" the great hair? Those plugs totally worked! Full Story
This Is Why
Said it time and again – the reason Johnny Depp is not on the Freebie Five is because Johnny Depp is a Lifetime. More than just one night of raucous rockin' of your headboard, with Johnny, why and how would you say goodbye? Check it out - a clip from Julia of Johnny promoting Pirates in the Land of Hello Kitty, with Junior Hello Kitties, at once absurd and yet adorable, Johnny the guest of honour attending a children's performance meticulously choreographed and rehearsed on his behalf. Full Story
Homo's Hidden Hours
Most insightful interview ever: John Travolta in the latest issue of Parade talking family life, Church life, and drag life. Is amazing! And intriguing too… Consider this – John says that in order to thwart the pappies and establish a normalcy around their family life without sacrificing privacy he, Kelly, and the kids sleep during the day and stay up half the night. Full Story
Allergy My Ass
First pre-summer long weekend in America – perfect recipe for an OD. Sunday night, Mischa Barton at a party after having a few drinks had to be rushed to hospital after experiencing an "adverse reaction to medication". How about an adverse reaction to too much coke? Or meth? Or ecstasy? Or any combination of narcotics favoured by the young, rich, and useless? The official excuse is that she was suffering from bronchitis in Cannes and has been taking antibiotics to build up her body's weak constitution. Full Story
Quiver for the Boy Next Door
So he looks a little goofy and totally, totally un-Hollywood. But I picture John Krasinki striding confidently into class five minutes late, bag looped across his back, wearing sneakers and just right jeans with a striped shirt and a baseball cap, looking for a seat, and hoping he'll take the one next to mine. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Am in Edmonton for the day – had the most amazing dinner last night at Sage at the River Cree Resort… and have to admit, nearly lost my sh-t seeing Patrick Swayze at the bar.
Patrick Swayze!!!
He's in town shooting a movie and believe me, I was tempted…tempted to walk by and shout: Yo, Johnny! I see you in the next life! Or ask him to dirty grind on a sweaty dance floor after hours with the hotel staff.
Amazing how the 80s stay with you, non?
Will be on Help TV today for an interview with host Jenny Adams, click here for listings.
Thursday, blogging between travel, check back often for new posts and this week's exclusive giveaway!
Yours in gossip,
Not for Everyone
I hear you. You hate it. It's weird and different and you wouldn't wear it. Well neither would I. But there was a theme, and she did something different, my Kiki always tries something different… and I love it on her. Especially the hairpiece and the black trim and the shoes. I love it all. Full Story
What's in it for John: Tits & Ass
Not that you didn't already know but if you take a look at the double handful he gets to goose, in addition to a side order of fellatio courtesy of those Restylane-lips, it's not hard to figure out why John Mayer has been shamed by his c*ck.Check out Jessica out on the town last night, Main 'Mo in tow, squeezing herself into a tarty little outfit to hold herself over while John's on tour in Toronto. Full Story
Reining in Homo?
They had him on a short leash for a long time. And then he earned their trust. He behaved for a decade. He made babies, he held the queer feather deep inside. So then they loosened up. They let him go to Toronto. To dress up in drag for a movie called Hairspray. They let him run wild and free, away from the shackles, to taste freedom for a few months as reward for toeing the line for so long, confident that he'd been completely rehabilitated, confident that the doctrine had "fixed" his problem. Full Story
Kiki in Japan: pink, green, and Johnny
Last week, the News of the World announced that my Kiki had been dumped, reporting a split from rocker Johnny Borrell who had supposedly returned to an ex-girlfriend. Which obviously explains why Johnny is with Kiki on Spidey 3 promo in Japan. Because that's totally how broken-up couples act, non? Here she is looking blissed-out stoned, holding his hand, clearly still in love, clearly NOT single, and in the early stages of rolling out a killer blockbuster wardrobe to go with her highly anticipated killer blockbuster movie. Full Story
Drama say what???
Spoiler alert. Avert eyes now. So the residents of some condo are pissed because the Entourage crew has taken over and is disturbing the peace. Hmmm…that sucks. But more importantly, the show has been shooting there because Johnny Drama…wait for it…wait for it… HAS MOVED OUT?!!?? Say what? WTF??? They're currently shooting Season 4. Full Story
Thinking of Travolta?
source Kevin Spacey at an afterparty last night looking for John Travolting, though legend around London is that his modus operandi isn't the massage parlour and a c*ckstand but aspiring actors and fellatio for favours. But theatre rumours are SOOO unreliable, right? Full Story

Comments about Patagonia Simple Guide Jacket (Women's):
This is a very nice jacket, but the way the sleeves are set in makes it very uncomfortable. I have 3 other patagonia products and the small fits perfectly and all are very comfortable. As soon as I put this on, it felt tight and strange under the arms.
I will have to return it.

Best Uses
Comments about Patagonia Simple Guide Jacket (Women's):
It's a "regular" fit, so if you want something loose fitting that doesn't hug you this is it. Not especially flattering for that reason however. Good for layering. I've worn it cragging in light rain in mild temps (50's 60's) and layered under my rain jacket when the rain picked up. For not being water proof it repels water fantastic. I might not have found this out if it weren't for the wind shifting and blowing water from a waterfall all over me. With a shake, all the water just rolled off. Fits over harness nicely and is almost weightless. I wish it were more attractive or perhaps warmer, but for mild temps, it does its job.

Academic Software Grant
This grant allows faculty an opportunity to "try out" new and/or innovative software that can be applied to teaching and learning. Your findings and evaluations may lead to contributing to your department's normal software selection process. Grants are limited to $500 each, and the total number of grants awarded is based on available funds.
Guidelines for Academic Software Grants:
- The software should support teaching and learning initiatives at LCC. Usage must be consistent with new software copyright laws, license agreements, and the LCC Acceptable Use Policy. Before new software is purchased, we will submit it for approval via the college's software approval process.
- The initial use of this software is not for public LCC computing labs and/or student use.
- Software maintenance, training, upgrades, and documentation are the responsibility of the grantee.
- At this time, we are unable to approve grants for mobile apps (i.e., phones, tablets, iPads, etc.).
- These grants are intended to provide seed money for innovate software applications. Therefore, once the educational worth of a specific software package is proven, the CTE may not fund the purchase of further copies. Purchases of "proven" software needs to be considered by the departments, divisions or college as a whole (e.g., Purchase of Adobe Acrobat for document posting). Find out what software is not available through the CTE based on these criteria.
To apply, fill out the Academic Software Grant Application.
Questions about this grant can be directed to John Thommen at (517) 483-1444, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The PowerShot SX150 IS features a powerful Genuine Canon 12x Zoom Lens that delivers outstanding optical performance and versatility. With precision engineering and decades of leadership in optical technologies, Canon has created a bright, wide-angle lens that provides an extraordinary 12x zoom range. The lens starts at 28mm wide-angle and extends to 336mm telephoto (35mm equivalent), giving you tremendous coverage and reach. The telephoto end lets you capture subjects from a considerable distance, while the 28mm wide-angle makes it easy to shoot sweeping landscapes, large groups of people and tall buildings. Moreover, this superlative lens incorporates innovative designs that enable it to fit the compact profile of the PowerShot SX150 IS and perform at high speed with low power consumption.
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more practical in more shooting situations, providing excellent image quality in many difficult situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod. For still photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation typical with electronic image stabilizers.
Prices and specifications subject to change without notice. Actual prices are determined by individual dealers and may vary.

In Lewiston, long before three recent apartment fires displaced dozens of families, a process was underway to identify and tear down unsafe buildings that are often less than a car-length apart. It's estimated that as much as 20 percent of inner-city housing is vacant, with buildings abandoned by landlords who can no longer afford to keep them up, or that are in such poor condition that they can't be rehabed. As Susan Sharon reports, the fires have once again put condemned buildings in the spotlight.
Piles of trash and debris litter one of Lewiston's abandoned apartment buildings.
Over the past two years, the city of Lewiston has torn down 13 condemned buildings and spent more than half-a-million dollars in the process. Originally constructed in the early 1900's, the buildings were home to hundreds of millworkers.
But the mills have closed. Much of the housing is old. There's a glut of it. And some of it is beyond repair. So, this year another dozen buildings are scheduled for demolition - buildings like this three-story unit on Walnut Street.
"The copper thieves got in here and destroyed the building," says Cpl. Jeffrey Baril of the Lewiston Police Department. Baril has been assigned full-time to help code enforcement officers deal with what is considered a safety problem. One of the fires last week was started in a building that had been condemned. The Walnut Street residence, which was abandoned after the landlord died, is expected to be torn down in a few weeks.
"This building is definitely one of our most dangerous buildings," Baril says. "And you would ask why - not only does it have a lot of debris in it, but it's the proximity - I mean, I can almost reach out and touch the buiding next door. If you look behind that building, 30 feet away, 50 feet that way, is an eight-unit apartment building."
Inside the small apartments, trash and debris are everywhere. The stairs to the third floor are barely passable, and a toilet, ripped out by copper thieves, lays on its side on the kitchen floor. Baril says that makes it even more challenging for a property owner to fix it up.
"The cost of rehabing the building just tripled," he says. "Instead of just being able to do some minor maintenance maybe, or some little upgrades, now you're talking about gut jobs, the new plumbing systems, heating systems."
The city has hired a contractor to clean out the debris inside the building before it is boarded up and eventually demolished. So far, the contractor has filled his dump truck three times.
It's a scene that is repeated often around Lewiston. And with the recent fires, police are also actively working to secure abandoned buildings that might be attractive for starting fires.
"There's no quick fix to solve this problem," says Sgt. Robert Ullrich. Ullrich says his community resource team can identify safety hazards, board up buildings and put them on the map for city officials. But that's just the beginning.
"It's not as simple as just identifying a building and say, 'That needs to come down.' and then go to the Council and say, 'Tear it down.' There's a long, legal process that the city has to take in order to do that," Ullrich says.
With limited resources, the city tries to use demolition as a last resort and to recoup as many costs as possible from landlords or mortgage companies. This couple, who declined to give their names, say they'll be happy to see the condemned building next to theirs be torn down. They say it's an eyesore and they're worried about the recent fires.
"I think people were living in there and they weren't supposed to be," the man says.
Police say they are working to remove transients from abandoned property. At the same time the city is also undertaking an effort to provide affordable, new housing downtown. Last year about 100 new units were built.
But, just like tearing down buildings, putting them up also costs money, which is increasinly in short supply.

The United States Bureau of Land Management and park service are seeking public input in developing a management plan for the Old Spanish National Historic Trail.
Designated as part of the National Trails System in 2002, the route crosses six western states - Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and California.
The Old Spanish Trail links some of the west's oldest communities from Santa Fe, N.M., to Los Angeles, Calif.
Twenty-one public meetings are being scheduled along the trail route beginning in New Mexico and southern Colorado, and moving west to Arizona, Nevada, Utah and California through mid-May.
Carbon County residents with an interest in the trail and the route's history, possibilities for recreation and heritage preservation or resources and opportunities are encouraged to attend one or more of the scoping meetings.
The first of three public meetings in Utah will be conducted April 18 in Moab at the Grant Center, 182 North 500 West, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Additional meetings are slated in Green River on April 19 at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum, 1575 West Main Street, and Cedar City on April 20, at the Crystal Inn Hotel, 1575 West 200 North. The two-hour sessions will start at 5:30 p.m.
On April 17 Colorado will be the site of a public scoping meeting in Grand Junction at the Grand Vista Hotel, 2790 Crossroads Boulevard. The session will start at 5:30 p.m.
The public may submit comments in writing through May 17.
Written comments and email should be addressed to Sarah Schlanger, New Mexico State Office, Bureau of Land Management, P.O. Box 27115, Santa Fe, NM 87502, Sarah email@example.com, or to Aaron Mahr, National Park Service, P.O. Box 728, Santa Fe, NM 87504, email@example.com
Some of the more remote sections of the Old Spanish Trail still can be walked, ridden on horseback or bicycle, or followed by wagon or jeep. Other parts of the route are now beneath or alongside some of our busiest highways.
The management plan will describe how the surviving elements of the Old Spanish Trail- the route, the landscape, and the historic places- will be developed to preserve trail resources, provide access to trail sites, and tell the story of the trail and its role in American history.

Sitting atop a hog is a frog holding a hot dog.
Thats the zany logo for a takeout eatery that opened at 1185 Water St. on the north side of Watertown in February. It has a name that uses the rhymes to its advantage: Hot Dogs, Frogs and Hogs.
The restaurant was started by entrepreneur Vernon A. Johnson, who said he thinks Watertown residents will benefit from his hot dog culture.
He crafted the eaterys menu after trying out the best hot dog venues in Buffalo, Rochester and New York City. But dont let the restaurants name fool you the frog and the hog are mascots, not menu items.
I wanted a catchy name with a catchy sign, said Mr. Johnson, 50, who spent the past two years renovating the 600-square-foot eatery.
Choices abound on the menu, which features themed dogs from around the country and a whopping 30 toppings.
All hot dogs are less than $4. Varieties include the Coney Island Dog, Capital Dog, Texas Dog, Chicago Dog and Watertown Dog.
Hamburgers, sausages and sides such as french fries, baked beans, potato salad and coleslaw also are available.
Mr. Johnson delayed opening the restaurant until the building and equipment were paid for. He said doing so ensured he was able to offer a menu with affordable prices. Except for the roof construction, he completed all of the renovations himself.
I could have opened it up sooner, he said, but by opening up later, I dont have to pass on extra costs to my customers.
An outdoor pavilion with space for six picnic tables will be built in the spring, he said, and ice cream will be added to the menu.
Residents who regularly drive down Water Street into the city have been waiting for the eatery to open. Joanne M. Hughes stopped by for the first time Monday afternoon with her daughter, Alexis C., who carried 14-month-old son Masun B.H. The baby was held up high to see the frog and hog on the wall.
Ive driven by this so many times and am so excited its open, the elder Ms. Hughes said. Its a quick way for people who live on the north side to get lunch and perfect for people coming into the city from Fort Drum.
Jacob D. VanGeyten, 22, is the only employee at the eatery, but two more staffers are expected to be hired this summer. Mr. VanGeyten said the Coney Island Dog has been the most popular so far; it comes with mustard, chili, chopped onions and mozzarella cheese. His personal favorite is the Texas Dog because of its jalapenos.
Theyre fresh with a little bit of spiciness, he said. And the chili is always good especially on cold days like this.
Hot Dogs, Frogs and Hogs is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

The Internship and Job fairs have reached their end. The stress of getting your suit pressed and polishing your shoes till you can eat off of them are gone. You can finally rest because the hard part is finally behind you…..or is it?
You may think that now is a time to breathe easy but the time following these fairs is where the real leg work begins. If you were well prepared, had a good pitch, and dressed the part, you should be seeing a steady stream of emails and calls starting to flow through your inbox from the employers you spoke with. Other times, they may be waiting on you to initiate the first contact …sort of like that girl you met at the bar last weekend.
This brings us to our first point.
Follow Up: It is important to follow up with any company you speak with. Get representatives business cards! Those little pieces of paper are your golden ticket. You no longer have to throw arrows in the dark to move on in the application/interview process because you have a living, breathing person to guide you through it! Write a handwritten thank you card or email thanking them for their time at the fairs. It sounds like something my mother used to nag me about but I've heard this advice validated time and time again from recruiters. Remember also to concisely restate your pitch in this note and close by asking what the next step in the process is. Your attention to detail IS what grabs their attention and it really is the "little things" like this that can make a difference.
Stay Focused: Don't throw your suit in a pile on your bedroom floor just because the fairs are over. Many companies have reserved time on campus for interviews that can take place just weeks after the fairs. Stay in the mindset you had before/during the fairs and keep that momentum moving you forward. Take advantage of these opportunities that are given to you. Even if you're uncertain of your future with a certain company use your time with them as an opportunity to learn more about the positions they have to offer. Who knows, that company may have your dream job that you didn't even know existed yet. Even if nothing comes of your interview with a certain company, the practice you'll receive along the way is priceless!
Prepare: When you begin to schedule interviews with various companies, dig deeper on your research for each one. They already like what you have to offer but now they want to see if you match their unique brand. Look into their company culture as well as the descriptions of the positions they offer. Understand how your skills match those parameters then prepare and show the employer why YOU ARE the right fit for the job!
Use the STAR approach to sell why you are the best person. The STAR approach is described in further detail below:
- Situation- think of a situation that you were faced with that will be relevant in your interview. An issue at work/school or a project.
- Task- what did you have to do to find a solution to the situation? Did you have to work with a team or step into a new role?
- Action- What things did you personally do to achieve success? Did you take a leadership role in that team or did you overcome a challenging obstacle?
- Result- Are there any metrics related to your success? What good came from you overcoming the situation? Did your team meet its goals? Do you have numbers to quantify your result? 2.0out

PRICE - Our loving and beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Joyce Cima Johnson, age 88, died Jan. 26, 2013 in Price.
Joyce was born Nov. 10, 1924 in Helper, the eldest of three daughters of Ruth Olive Carter and John B. "Jack" Cima. Her mother was an accomplished seamstress and pianist who taught Joyce to sew and provided piano teachers for her. Joyce enjoyed growing up in their Helper neighborhood, playing on the O'Berto farm and attending school. She began a life-long love of swimming, taking every lesson offered at the Helper Pool, including senior life saving.
After the tragic death of her parents in August 1941, she lived with her grandparents, Byron and Botilda Carter, until she graduated from Carbon High School in May 1942. She attended Carbon College and St. Mary's of the Wasatch in Salt Lake City before entering the Holy Cross Hospital School of Nursing. She graduated in May 1945 as a Registered Nurse.
She married Mack Johnson in Helper on Sept. 5, 1945. They lived in Salt Lake while Mack attended college and she gave birth to her eldest daughter. She began playing golf, bridge and continued swimming.
They returned to Carbon County in 1948, when she went to work in a doctor's office. She continued her interests and began playing tennis and bowling. She also enjoyed dancing parties.
She left full time work in 1955 to continue her family. As her children were growing, she worked in nursing part-time. A life-long learner, she studied oil painting, advanced tailoring, and continued to study piano with expert teachers, including Frank Magliocco. As her children grew older, she went back to school so she could work in ICU at Carbon Hospital. She became a supervisor at the hospital and then became the Director of Nursing at the Carbon County Nursing Home. She got the red sports car she always wanted.
After retiring in 1986, she continued to play bridge and was still lap swimming in her 80's. Her greatest love was for her family and her profession. She never lost her zest for life.
Joyce is survived by her husband, Mack Johnson; children, Steffeny (Dick) Fazzio, Peggy Rasband, Kris (Tami) Johnson, Tamela (Larry) Johnson-Tannenbaum; grandchildren, Cameron Fazzio, Sean (Jennifer) Fazzio, Jef (Vinnie) Fazzio-Lawrence, Andrea Rasband, Natalie (Nick) Rasband-Stocking; great-grandchildren, Tony Bowen, Cameron Michael Fazzio, Maddison Lawrence, Michael Ray Fazzio, Caiman Lawrence; and many nieces and nephews.
Preceded in death by her parents, grandparents, and sisters, Shirley (Burton) Davis and Ruth (Bill) Hunter.
In accordance with Joyce's wishes a celebration of life will be Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013 at Mitchell Funeral Home (233 E. Main Street) Price. Friends are welcome to share memories with the family from 1-1:45 p.m. at Mitchell Funeral Home. Interment, Price City Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home where friends are welcome to share memories of Joyce at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests hugging someone you love.

Oh, you'll get the reference...4+ days lost in Trabuco Canyon, after trailheading at Holy Jim, it turns out SAR might be sending a bill to famed hikers "Fluffy and Donut":"Cendoya and Kyndall Jack, 18, had gone on what was supposed to be an easy day hike on Sunday, March 31. The pair got lost in the wilderness and were eventually rescued separately, several days later. Cendoya was discovered first, shoeless and less than a mile from his car on Wednesday. Jack was discovered the next day, also shoeless and clinging to a near-vertical rocky wall on the mountain....Cendoya said he had lucid dreams and hallucinations that included feeling the presence of Jesus and his deceased friend, notes AP. Jack said she thought the whole thing was a dream, and that she was being eaten by a python. She also tried to eat dirt and rocks, and thought she was sipping water from a straw that turned out to be a tree branch...http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/02/nicolas-cendoya-arrested_n_3201861.html?ncid=wsc-dl-cards-headline
I seriously thought you were snarking, not actually quoting! Holy cow.
"We're in the Spirit World...... did you see the size of that chicken?"
Just like I distinguish between "cyclists" and "people on bicycles", I also distinguish between "hikers" and "people in the woods". What a pair of dolts.Best wishes to the SAR that was injured.

So, what does an out of State tag cost, and where do I apply?
I'll just use my "duck stamp" and claim "I thought it was a duck". Lol
Yeah that might work. Huhuh.
Git er done! LOL
And who's responsible for when somebody mistakes a light aircraft or microlight for a drone, and starts shooting at GA aircraft?
Keep in mind, Deer Creek may not ever even see a drone, let alone be able to bag one.
DRONE LOADS, Limited quantity...stock-up today!
Well after giving this some thought all I have to say is I guess this sucks for anyone flying an ultra-light or sport class aircraft. Second; is the hunting equipment going to be limited to something in the line of a deere rifle or can I now go out and buy me an anti-aircraft canon?
The video says it will be limited to shotguns 12 GA or smaller. Any drone low enough to get taken down by a 12GA shotgun deserves to be taken down. It's more likely that a drone hunter will take down their fellow drone hunters by shooting into the sky with a shotgun than it is for them to actually "tag" a drone.
I'm all for having less government meddling in my life, but wouldn't this constitute destruction of U.S. government property, which is a federal offense, which can have serious jail time attached to it?
Frankly if the government doesn't like it they can go fly their drones elsewhere. I'm more than mildly disturbed by the George Orwell(1984) nature our society seems to be taking on.
Of course it would. But real 'Mericans like to shoot shit. Remember, any law that we don't like we can ignore because our radios told us so.
A fairly strong laser aimed at it's optics should do the trick.
You'll need to tag'em and bag'em to get the bounties. (c8
If I can find the pieces!
[This poster has been suspended.]
hmmm.....obviously democrats.
let pay huge taxes to support people who dont wanna work so they can shoot down the multi million dollar drones that their own tax dollars have purchased.
brilliant.....no wonder the rest of the world is laughin at the USA.....
but aren't the Republicans the ones always screaming about gun rights and big brother unlawfully gathering information?
[This poster has been suspended.]
they both suck, whats the difference?
absolutely nothing
Presumably the drone would be hunting a human. In the light of the possible collateral damage of getting the wrong human, being able to shoot back might be a Good Thing. Oh, yeah, by way of full disclosure, Deer Creek is not too far away from where I grew up.
Maybe Florida can amend their "Stand Your Ground" legislation to include drones. One could claim self defense as you thought the drone was hunting you instead of your neighbor.
I'm sure the Feds will be charmed by this one. Hee haw, I guess.
What a bunch of irresponsibly nitwits.
What happens when some redneck shoots down a drone and it lands on a child? 'Merica?
This is insane. The drones are just trying to help your country. Respect that and quit acting like a bunch of crazy people
Really? The past 200+ years were a complete disaster without them??
The last 20 ahsn't been that great.
Have you not noticed how the government has taken a turn for the worse? We have the government committing more crimes against citizens than the KKK. Also, all the billions of $ and they have nothing to crow about: can't catch terrorists, can't secure the border, can't run it's own agency's(IRS, NSA, etc), can't defeat the drug lords, can't control the financial industry, can't control the welfare system, and healthcare......sweet Jesus. And I'm to think drones are some kind of answer. Get real.
Can you name any victims of the crimes you speak of?
How about 3000 victims in New York. Who let the terrorists in the country? Who lets criminal illegals across the border that kill US citizens. I am a victim of paying taxes to to collect your phone records which I could care less about. They flat out are not doing their job.
LOL! For a minute I thought you were serious. The 3000 victims are victims of terrorism, not the US government, PERIOD. Who let the terrorists in, you mean BEFORE there was a war on terror? Who let them on the planes with box cutters BEFORE there was TSA? Collecting phone records probably costs you a whole 1/10 of a cent a month, if that. They have not been doing their jobs for decades and people like you, I assume you vote, keep putting them in there.
Glad you're satisfied and feel safer with TSA. I can't think of one area where the Feds are producing a satisfactory performance. My vote hasn't helped anyone get re- elected in a while. As you can guess I am in favor of term limits. Lol. As far as drones, I think they are a great military weapon but have no place in the civilian arena. The drones they are getting will be operated out of range of small arms fire for the most part. So if you get a drone stamp on your hunting license better invest in a stinger too. Lol
LOL. I didn't say that I was happy with or feel safer with the TSA in place, but, for whatever reason, they are working as a deterrent. Yes, drones are a great military tool and I have no problem with their use, whether it is abroad or in my back yard, they need to hunt and kill the enemy no matter where they are by use of any means or tools necessary. 9 times out of 10, the only drones you will see flying over the US will be armed with cameras, not weapons, so they can fly them around all they want for all I care.
You touched on a little observed point with the military weapon and civilian arena. The way the war on terror is being conducted, three is a blurring of the demarkation between the battlefield and civilian territory.
The "war on terror" says it all to me. In war you have a license to kill. No rights, no rules when it comes right down to it. Any that are in place are only there so we can claim civility, but they go out the window fast when necessary. When you talk letting the Feds and every police dept in the country use drones against citizens it seems like a bad idea to me. Just look what the IRS has morphed into. Lol
At the risk of being disappeared, I agree completely.
But they can fly planes and heli's over us all day long and its ok? I fail to see the difference.
To which do you refer as insane, drone use or drone targeting? In 'drones just trying to help', are you postulating that drones are sentient and altruistic? I see them as neither.
OTOH, your comment may be satire.
I disagree
this post wasn't meant for you Wallace24; it got detached from another one.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - Alexandria prosecutors say charges have been dropped against a 10-year-old boy who was arrested for bringing a toy gun onto a school bus.
The student's mother, Nakicha Gilbert, says she is glad the ordeal is over, but it should have never happened in the first place.
The fifth-grader at Douglas MacArthur Elementary School was arrested this month after he showed the plastic gun to another student on the bus. Another student complained and the next day school officials called police after finding the toy gun in his backpack.
Alexandria Commonwealth's Attorney S. Randolph Sengel says prosecutors don't believe it was appropriate or productive to proceed with prosecution.

Retro Savannah: Enjoy History Of A More Recent Vintage!
Savannah is a city known for her history – but who says history has to be ancient to be history? In 2010, the Thunderbird Inn – "The hippest hotel in Savannah" ™ – made the National Register of Historic Places, representing the classic roadside motel of the 1960s. Gas was cheap, cars were big and Americans were mobile. The nuclear family of those Cold War years parked its station wagon outside classic motels like the Thunderbird and enjoyed the traditional American vacation.
The Thunderbird was built in 1964, which lands it in the middle of one of the most creative, memorable and, yes, historic decades of the past century. The Civil Rights Movement, the space race, the Beatles, the mini-skirt, the Pill … oh, it was quite a decade! Continue reading

"He's a guy that was born in the United States, he radicalized Major Hasan, the guy at Fort Hood," Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said. "He helped plan the underwear bomber attack that failed. He's been actively involved in recruiting and prosecuting the war for Al-Qaeda He was found in Yemen and we blew him up with a drone. Good."
Graham (pictured) was referring to the murder of Anwar al-Awlaki by an American drone. Awlaki was an American citizen, accused by President Obama, Graham, and others of promoting radical Islam, aiding the cause of al-Qaeda, and, by extension, killing Americans.
None of these charges, however, were ever formally filed against Awlaki, and he was never afforded a right to defend himself in court, as required by the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment.
Apparently, when people are "bad," Lindsey Graham doesn't think the Constitution applies to them.
"I didn't want him to have a trial," Graham said of Awlaki. "We're not fighting a crime, we're fighting a war."
Graham reiterated this position during an appearance on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. When asked by Wallace if Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was wrong to oppose the use of drones to kill American citizens, Graham responded:
I think the worst thing in the world is to have the courts decide who to target in the war on terrorism. Courts are not military commanders.
He insisted that the law of the United States gives the president that power as commander-in-chief of the military.
"We do need drones to patrol our borders, but I don't think you need a drone to attack an Al Qaeda operative inside the United States," Graham told Wallace. "I very much believe we're at war — and any American citizen who aids Al Qaeda should be treated as an enemy combatant not a common criminal."
Graham is wrong.
