The topological perception theory proposed a precise description for how one organizes the visual world that eliminates the vagueness of subjective phenomenology. In addition, the topological theory challenges the dominant computational view on the part-to-whole hierarchy of visual information processing. Lines of evidence from adult psychophysics, brain imaging data, and even honeybee's behavior have supported the notion that the global topological properties are the very primitives of visual representation. However, the question of how the sensitivity to topological properties originates during development has not been explored much. In a previous study, the investigators found that 2- to 6 month old infants could reliably discriminate stimuli based on topological differences, but failed to do so based on geometric differences. Using familiarization/novelty preference procedure, the present study intends to explore the visual sensitivity for topological properties in newborn infants. Experiment 1 focuses on whether neonates can discriminate a disk (no hole) and a ring (with a hole) that are topologically different, and/or a disk (no hole) and a triangle (no hole) that are geometrically different. Experiment 2 focuses on whether neonates can detect a change in the number of holes and/or the size of the hole. If newborn infants are only sensitive to topological properties and not to geometric properties, this will be a strong proof for the claim that topological property is the very "primitive" visual representation at empirical as well as theoretical level.

A life in pictures: Britain's oldest cinema hits 100
Almost as old as cinema itself, the Duke of York's Picturehouse in Brighton celebrates its centenary this year. First opened in September 1910, it was built on the site of the Amber Ales Brewery, whose exterior wall still forms the rear of the auditorium. Now an arts picture house, it was one of the first cinemas in the world, and the oldest continuously operating purpose-built cinema in Britain. The Grade II-listed building is home to the Brighton Film Festival and, wherever possible, does things the old-fashioned way. Here, projectionist Jimmy Anderson sets up a 35mm print of Hoodwinked, a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, for screening at the venue.

Authorities are investigating after a man's body was found floating in a canal near Hudson Beach in southwest Florida.
Pasco County Sheriff's officials found the body floating in the canal Saturday afternoon and said there are no obvious signs of foul play.
The medical examiner will determine the cause of death and identify the body.
A citizen first called the Coast Guard to report the body.

In the past three months, CH Briggs Co. has increased its business about 15% using Inforce Everywhere, company COO Don Schalk tells Diginomica.
With Inforce Everywhere connecting Infor ERP to Salesforce.com, "we're just quicker, faster, more nimble," Schalk explains in an article by Phil Wainewright headlined "Going real-time to beat the building slump."
CH Briggs distributes specialty interior building materials on the U.S. East Coast. The company was the first adopter of Inforce Everywhere.
"After first deploying the connected system for sales and customer services teams in April last year, the company this year brought all its employees in back-office roles onto the Salesforce system. … this has helped put CH Briggs in a strong position to capture business in a still weak construction market," Wainewright reports.
Schalk said, "In the traditional world the salesperson owned the relationship with the customer. Where we're headed, now the organization owns the relationships because there's a 360-degree view. It's basically knocked down all the functional silos of the organization and helped us be more efficient, improve relations with our customers, [and] our margins have improved. …"
"Inforce Everywhere brings information dynamically from the ERP system into Salesforce, allowing sales people to see historic sales, margins on major product categories, order history and trends, open orders, quotes, open opportunities and much more. "By having that information when they're out in the field, it changes the conversation with the customer," he said.
With the support of Salesforce and Infor, he added, "It's helped us survive - and even now thrive …"
"The exciting part for us is, with the tools that we have, I think we've just scratched the surface really."

Right now, cosmetics companies are allowed to use harmful ingredients like formaldehyde and coal tar! The law hasn't been updated since 1938 and doesn't require companies to show cosmetics ingredients are safe before they go to market. It's way past time for Congress to step up and start looking out for us.
Add your names to this petition to stand with Environmental Working Group and demand that Congress act NOW to get dangerous chemicals out of cosmetics and personal care products!
Letter to
U.S. Congress
We need serious reform of the personal care products industry. I agree with Environmental Working Group, and I am asking you to ensure that all ingredients in cosmetics meet the highest level of safety for consumers. We need the FDA to protect us from dangerous chemicals in consumer products.

This post brought to you by ALO Drink. All opinions are 100% mine.
It is hot here in Utah. August always seems to be the time of year that our freezer is fully stocked with a wide variety of frozen goodies. I've been attempting to do my best at staying away from those sugar packed treats and leaning more toward a healthier variety. Smoothies have been my go-to when I'm in need of a good pick me up, and this blueberry watermelon ALO smoothie is top of the list! I used frozen ALO drink as the base, which helped add a punch of flavor.
Let me start out by saying that these drinks were not at all what I expected. When I heard there was literally Aloe Vera inside of the beverage I was a little nervous. I had flash backs to when I was a little kid and my mom would slather that stuff over my sun burns and couldn't imagine drinking it, but all of that changed the moment I opened the first bottle. They smell divine and have a taste that matches the amazing scent!
ALO come in three different drink lines. You've got 9 flavors in ALO original, 3 in ALO light, and 2 coco exposed which leaves you with a huge option to chose from. I love that they don't only taste great but also come with numerous health benefits. Hop on over to the ALO Website to find details on each of the and where you can buy them. You can also read a little about the all organic aloe farms that produce the pulp that is used. Now, time for that recipe!
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1-1/2 cups frozen ALO watermelon peach cubes
- 1/2 cup ALO watermelon peach juice
- Add your ingredients into your blender. Puree until smooth and enjoy!
It's that simple. Two ingredients and I've got a smoothie that tastes amazing and is providing me with a healthier alternative to help keep me cool. Another quick and easy treat is to pour the juice straight into a popsicle mold!
Ready for the best news? One of my readers is going to win an ALO sample pack of their very own! Entering is easy. Just leave a comment below and let me know what kind of drink you would create with ALO to help keep you cool this summer!
Additional entries if you like ALO Facebook, follow them on Twitter, follow them on Instagram, or their YouTube page. Leave a separate comment letting me know your user name! Giveaway starts now and ends one week from today. Winner will be chosen using random.org. Good luck!

Indian handset maker Karbonn announced a few days ago that it would launch a new budget-friendly Android smartphone, the A11.
Well, it looks like the information wasn't entirely accurate because Karbonn decided to go live with no less than three Android smartphones in India: A11, A1+ and A7+.
Although neither of the above mentioned smartphones is a high-end device, we are pretty sure that it will attract lots of Android fans due to their low price.
For example, Karbonn A7+ is now available for purchase for only Rs 6.990 (130 USD or 100 EUR) outright, while the A1+ is even cheaper and will cost customers just Rs 4.290 (80 USD or 65 EUR).
As you might have probably guessed already, the most expensive is the Karbonn A11, which is now available for purchase for Rs 8.499 (160 USD or 125 EUR).
It stands to reason that the A11 is also the most advanced of the three. The smartphone comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform out of the box and packs a 1 GHz single-core processor.
Karbonn A11 also offers dual-SIM support, 5-megapixel rear camera, secondary VGA camera for video calls, 4.0-inch display (480 x 800 pixels) and 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery.
The entry-level Karbonn A1+ is powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system and comes equipped with a 1 GHz single-core CPU as well. It sports a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a 3-megapixel rear camera and front-facing camera for video calls.
The smartphone also offers dual-SIM capability and the same high-capacity 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery, which has yet to be rated by the manufacturer.
Last but not least, Karbonn A7+ features dual-SIM connectivity and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform. It sports a 3.5-inch display, a 5-megapixel rear camera and secondary VGA camera. The smartphone is equipped with a 1 GHz single-core processor and a 1420 mAh Li-Ion battery.

The US Embassy to Armenia touched on the corruption problem in the Armenian higher education institutions in one of its dispatches to the US Department of State, declassified by Wikileaks.
The extremely high level of corruption has seriously hit the high authority of the universities and reduced the training quality. The whole selection of the corruption display is available in the Armenian higher education institutions: bribes, protection, etc. The reason of it is first of all low salary of teachers and traditional protectionism, due to which non-professional specialists graduated from universities, the document says.
The military conscription is one of the factors of corruption. Many of the boys enter the university and continue studying there only for avoiding service in the armed forces of country, the dispatch of American diplomats says.
Many people speak about corruption but do not fight it. All the levels of the education system are corrupted, including the entrance exams, marks. As for the end-of-semester exams in Yerevan State University, they cost from 20 up to 100 US dollars, the dispatch says.

Not to dodge the request but most of your questions are really up to your personal tastes. The good thing is that finding those tastes can be rather... er... rewarding.
I wouldn't muddle the mint too much. You just want to bruise and abrade the leaves a bit, not mash them. Mashing crushes the stems and ribs which, in most varieties of mint, are bitter. The shaking will take care of the rest.
Recipes? Well, it's really just a tall sour. Start with the basic sour recipe of 3 parts spirit (rum), 2 parts sweet (sugar or simple), and 1 part sour (lime juice) and then go from there. It probably won't end up being your favorite, but it will be perfectly drinkable and a good starting point.
For a tall drink that's going to be served over a full glass of ice, I wouldn't worry too much about simple syrup vs. granulated sugar. Go simple and use the simple. Using the sugar to muddle is nice theater, but really doesn't make much difference in the end until you perfect your recipe.
Gold or light rum can often be less of a difference than where the rum comes from. For a tall summer rum sour on a hot day, I like a Cuban, Puerto Rican or Nicaraguan light. For something served up, more like a normal cocktail, I prefer gold.
And it's probably preaching to the choir, but the only other thing I'd recommend is to always, always, always use fresh, hand-squeezed lime. If you're not, then don't bother with any of the above and just get a jug of Bacardi and a pre-made mix.
Ooh, ooh, and try it without adding soda at least once.

I received an e-mail from The News Service of Florida a little earlier today:
Senate President Don Gaetz forcefully pledged that the Legislature will do something to avoid election embarrassment in two years, while also promising to reach out to Democrats and usher in a new era of more ethical conduct as he leads the Senate the next two years."
A few minutes later they realized how poorly worded the headline was and sent this follow-up e-mail:
As many of you have noted, a headline on a story this morning had an unintended double entendre that could shed an unfavorable light on Senate President Don Gaetz.
The headline "Gaetz: Elections Will be Fixed" may go down in history as one of the worst-chosen ways to say what we meant, which was that Gaetz is pledging to improve the election system.
The News Service regrets the oversight."

China pledges to combat sex-selection abortions
Catholic World News - August 11, 2011
Amid reports that 130 boys are born for every 100 girls in some Chinese provinces, Communist officials are pledging to crack down on sex-selection abortions. The government's new "Outline for the Development of Chinese Children (2011-2020)" calls for a prohibition of the use of "ultrasonic techniques to conduct non-medical sex determination."
Nationwide, 119 boys are born for every 100 girls. Joseph Meaney of Human Life International explained in an interview with Vatican Radio that "only male descendants are allowed to do funerary rites in some of the traditional religions in China."
"The carrying on of the family name--which is very important--which only passes through the son, the idea that the daughter is lost when she gets married … all these things exacerbate the problem, but certainly the one-child policy has made China a uniquely susceptible country to sex-selection abortion."

Sea Dog Brewery
Last week I took my family to Disney World for vacation. We had a great time and lots of people with us, my two brothers, my oldest brothers family, my parents, and cousins. The weather was hot and humid which was the only downfall if you will since I was just getting some perfect fall weather here in Atlanta. I was able to escape the happiest place on earth for a few and make a visit to Sea Dog Brewery nearby. We had two flight trays and both were great. My wife ordered her four, apricot, blueberry(with fresh blueberries), raspberry, and a summer ale. I ordered 3 IPA's and a stout. One of my favorite beers available this time of year is Shipyard Pumpkin Head. Shipyard happens to be Sea Dog's sister company and so they had some available and our waitress brought me one and added sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon to the rim of the glass. It was delicious! Tasted just like pumpkin pie. We had some bourbon as well but it was just standard stuff, wasn't able to find anything special. If you are ever in the area be sure to check out Sea Dog Brewery, very cool place to visit.
September Blue
Aside from our love of bourbon we are big fans of craft beer and do a little home brewing as well. I have brewed many times but I generally brew IPA's or Imperial IPA's that are usually too hoppy and strong for my wife. A few weeks ago when trying to decide what to do for a date night, we decided to home brew together for the first time. This time we brewed a recipe that she would enjoy, an American Pale Wheat with blueberries, not usually my style but I think it's going to turn out good and I had fun brewing with the wife, drinking some good beer, and listening to some great tunes. The wife named the brew September Blue. Pictures below.

Game Theory & Revolutions
- 02/09/11
- Views: 6628
It's already there, mate.
New York / Morocco Board News -- A book, that turned out to be a big helper in understanding political sociology: 'Théorie du Choix Révolutionnaire' (T.Tazdaït, R.Nessah La Découverte, 2008), is handy, in the sense that both authors are at ease with game theory concepts. And one of the many things I noticed was the constant reminder that revolutions, in essence are not really a rational behaviour. Why should it be? The whole idea of mixing revolution theory and rationalism seems ludicrous: not that both concepts are irreconcilable, but because that a pure rationale, from an individual point of view, collective action is deemed to failure.
Shaw proposed the following the illustrate the paradox: let the following linear equation be an agent's utility function
R = p.B – C + D
where R is the utility pay-off, p is the probability assigned to the effect the individual can have on a successful outcome for the revolution, C the cost of participation and D the expected pay-off.
Before I go any further, this is not a normative model, in the sense that it should not elicit conclusions about what's a good or a bad revolution. At best, it's an abstract speculation on rationale behind individual and collective behaviour. Now, if there are masses of people supporting the revolution, an individual contribution to success is next to nothing. Plus if the individual does not participate, they incur no cost and benefit nonetheless from the revolutionary outcome. But if the same result was to be applied to every single member of the community, the revolution is doomed before it even begins. So there is the nodal problem: Revolutions are the deed of the multitude. And yet, when individuals weight in the costs and benefits, they have every incentive to adopt a free-rider behaviour: wait by and look on as he events undo the incumbent regime, then reap the benefits when it succeeds. If not, being obedient brings benefits too.
This ultra-rational behaviour does not explain why revolutions occur. In fact, it just makes people think that revolutions are inherently irrational. But are they? Perhaps this individual methodology is no good to understand collective action: it is logical to assume that the collective effort is not a mere aggregation of individual wills, that, past a certain critical mass effect, it subsumes it and exceeds to a greater strength.
Let's find us some practical game theory application on Egypt and Tunisia: assume the revolution is a public good – there's an interesting configuration by Vickery-Clarke-Groves which seems to me suitable for collective actions. In a game theory setting, for a revolution to succeed, it needs to devise some modus operandifollowing which the result would be strategy-proof, i.e. at some stage, all individuals would contribute to the outcome according to their true needs, and as such their benefits would be larger in contributing to the revolution than just standing out of it, when they would indeed benefit from a change of regime. Let me re-formulate it: there's a need for a modus operandi such that those really in need for a revolution would in fact contribute rather than just stand by. These very individuals, the least endowed in a given society that is, have every incentive to revolt because the expected loss is considered to be lower than the benefits.
So, a public good, or a revolution, seeks the modified optimization program:
it's easier to understand than it looks actually – the revolution seeks increasing the well-being of the majority -thus the mode- (first line) but takes 'taxes' out of different individuals (second line), and these taxes can be perfectly random, like death, or an injury or just a burned car. k is the last outcome: success (1) or failure (0). Then, at individual level (third line), they have types that are more or less attached to a change in the political regime or indeed achieving any desired outcome the incumbent government does not provide. Insofar the poorest elements have the lowest tolerance for a certain array of imbalanced distribution of wealth, income, power and other social symbolism outlets, they can be expected to react and contribute -issues of coordination are not discussed here- because in Egypt or Tunisia their numbers were important, the contribution of middle classes was perhaps marginal at the second level, but it nonetheless gave a larger boost to the public good. The game has a social choice function f(.) fully strategy-proof as long as it meets the following requirements:
basically, a function that yields a utility such that it is better for an individual to act following their type rather than portray another one (called the incentive compatibility).
When the coordination issue is not discussed, the key for revolutions, from a game theory perspective, is to ask first off, how wide is the gap between expected gains the rioter, soon-to-be revolutionary, is betting on, and their present wealth, and second, how many of them are ready to join in, i.e. how many are in the same position.
When coordination does arise, it can either be the fact of institutional nature -which game theory has little to do with- like pre-existing trade-unions, or the use of social networks (virtual or not), and that is a matter of algorithmic nature, on which I claim no informed knowledge. In any case, coordination in game theory assumes the existence of a benevolent referee which Tunisia and Egypt proved to be non-existent or negligible.
The whole exercise is pointless, save perhaps the idea that revolutions are not inherently dysfunctional occurrences of otherwise rational institutions and behaviour. With a bit of game theory, it can be proven that it is fully rational, and that the only problems in completing the argument are not related to reason, and could nonetheless be expected with the help of otherwise more randomized experiences.
Comments (3)
thank you for the references! When I posted this I wasn't aware that people would take it seriously ;-)
I understand game theory, in the crude version I used anyway, is not fit to explain wholly social phenomena like revolutions.
But then again I was aiming only to prove that, even with hyper-rationali ty assumptions, it is possible to imagine revolutions to be the outcome of completely rational actions. Other than that, I remain fully aware of the shortcomings game theory or any rational expectations theory present the researcher when matters like revolutions are studied.
thank you for the comment!
Revolutions are inherently defined as such after the fact (i.e, when they succeed). Furthermore if we consider two organized systems, the people and the government they aim to overthrow. They are both aiming to optimize their own respective conditions, but as the chaos theory tells us, even when starting with defined systems each following natural laws of this universe their interactions leads to as Robert above pointed out to totally unpredictable results. I am actually very comfortable with this conclusions as it preclude the control of the outcome of any revolution by the bad party. In my opinion what makes revolutions successful is the irrationally altruistic and unpredictable behavior of the masses and most importantly on the rational and predictable behavior of their leader.

Charlotte Secondary School
Charlotte, NC 28211
About This School
Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system. See Charlotte Secondary School's test results to learn more about school performance.
In 2011, Charlotte Secondary School had 13 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The North Carolina average is 15 students per full-time equivalent teacher.

OK school
I have really felt like I have been heard at this school. I was used to going to a very large middle school where I seemed to blend into the walls. I have made many new friends although in small schools drama seems to circulate easier! There seems to be many distractions during class, like big arguments or students throwing tantrums... My grades have improved a lot this year, but that might have to do with the fact that they treat us like kindergartners.
My Son started in the 7th grade, now in 8th. Very happy with the school and Staff. My child is also very happy, loves his Teachers and peers. Student are very accepting of each other. He did great on the EOG's. We are looking forward to Highschool with C.S.S.
I am so pleased with the education my child is getting at Charlotte Secondary. My oldest attended a traditional middle and high school in prominant South Charlotte in honors and IB classes. What I see my daughter doing at Charlotte Secondary by far exceeds anything work he did in and out of the class. While he has been successful and gone on to Chapel Hill I know the education his sister has gotten has surpassed anything he was able to get from school.While he scored in the 32 % on the ACT our daughter took it right before this year began and she scored in the top 15%. I am so pleased 8th grade hasn't even really begun.

With summer on the horizon, the City of Borger is gearing up for its park recreation program.
The program will run from June 4 through July 27, 2012. Annadon Keys, director of the Johnson Park Youth Center, said that parents and guardians need to bring their children with them to the JPYC when signing them up for park recreation. Forms need to be read and signed by the parent/guardian as well as the child, and a picture is taken of each child for safety reasons.
There will be a variety of activities offered to local children who participate in this year's program. The children are taken to the JPYC to enjoy the youth center and gym on Mondays, and they get to swim in the pool at the center on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
On Wednesday, the children will go skating and on Fridays, the group will go to the movies, bowling, or take part in other fun events. The children are asked to bring $3 on Wednesday to cover the skating and also on Fridays to cover bowling or the movies.
Each child is provided a snack at each facility they are taken to, which is paid for by the City of Borger, along with donations from the community.
"Hutchinson County Cares makes a donation to the Park Recreation Program so that we can invite children from Fritch and Stinnett for no charge," Keys said. "We live in a wonderful community that reaches out to the children of Park Recreation. It is true, it takes a village to raise a child."
The children are also fed lunch and a snack through a grant with the Borger Independent School District.
Keys said the city has a wonderful staff for the children of park recreation. She said Sharon Lowery is the park recreation manager and does an amazing job with the children who participate in the program.
"We strive to hire good role models for our children at park recreation, because everyone needs a good role model," she said. "The staff interacts with the children, from playing kickball to painting fingernails."
She said the park recreation program is a big win/win for the community by helping the children have a fun and safe summer, and it keeps them off the streets and possibly out of trouble.
"The Johnson Park Youth Center and the Park Recreation Program are my passion because you never know when you may make a difference in a child's life," Keys said.
The program will have a new bus route that goes to 50 different stops, so children will not have to walk very far to get to their bus stop. The children are given white bracelets if they do not ride the bus, and green, yellow, or red bracelets depending on the bus that they are riding to help stop any confusion on the child's part as to which bus they are to ride.
When a child is signed up for the program, each will be given a signed bracelet from the JPYC telling the bus driver that they are signed up and all their paperwork is completed. The children will not be allowed into the program at the park or bus route without the signed bracelet.
The yellow bus stops will be as follows: 8:01- Cofield Park, 8:03- Baker and Turner, 8:04- Yows and Turner, 8:05- North Cofield Park (Haggard and Finger), 8:08 - Finger and Clayton, 8:12- Coble and Potter, 8:13- Hughes Pitts Park, 8:14- Valley Dr. and Andress Park, 8:15- 5th and Harvey, 8:17- 6th and California, 8:18- California, 8:23- Keller Park, 8:25- Santa Fe and Tech, 8:28- Evergreen and Garrett, 8:29- Evergreen and Bluebonnet, 8:30 -Crockett School (Bus Loading Lane), 8:31- Gateway School (Bus Loading Lane), 8:32- Huber and Wisconsin, 8:35- Huber Park
The red bus stops will be as follows: 8:00- Birdie and Fairway, 8:02- 315 Clubhouse, 8:03- 201 Clubhouse, 8:04- Coble and Potter, 8:07- Latimer and Bagwell Park, 8:08- Boyd and Hazelwood, North Gateway Park; 8:10- Old Gateway School, 8:11- Dillard and Coffee, 8:12- Elmore and Harrington, 8:13- Elmore and Keith Park, 8:15- Elmore and Western Park, 8:18- Sterling and O'Daniel, 8:20- Paul Belton School (Bus Lane), 8:22- McGee and 5th, 8:27- First Baptist Church, 8:30- Wilson and Hedgecoke, 8:35- Huber Park
The green bus stops will be as follows: 8:01- Huber Ave. and Wisconsin, 8:08- Adobe Apartments (Mail Boxes), 8:10- Fairlanes Church, 8:11- Philview and Pecan (La Mirage Apartments), 8:15- Bunavista Baptist Church, 8:20- Bunavista (Round Park), 8:21- Broadmoor and Salina, 8:30- Huber Park
Keys said she and her staff are eagerly anticipating the start of this year's program.
"We are all ready and excited to start a new year of park recreation," she said. "I would like to thank everyone who has helped make our program what it is today. Please keep our facilities, children, programs, and staff in your thoughts and prayers for another exciting, fun and safe year."
To find out more about this year's park recreation program or to get your child signed up, call Keys at 231-8979, the JPYC at 275-9014, or go by the center, located on Bulldog Boulevard north of the Hutchinson County Aluminum Dome.

I have seen the rounded tube style that Mike's XS sells but that is not the style I am looking for. I have seen numerous XS's in the past fitted with one of these flat style fork braces and have searched on ebay for one. I have seen some on ebay but they have never been specifically for the XS, as they either have the wrong bolt hole spacing or the wrong width. The one I am looking for looks to be about 1/8 thick or so but not real sure because its always been in a picture. I just think they are a better looking brace. Jeffery

It didn't take long for the homeless to move back to the parks in Moiliili, just hours after the city completed an overnight sweep of Moiliili Park and Old Stadium Park.
"I couldn't believe it, it's beautiful again," said Mark Litchman, who was walking home past Old Stadium Park.
It was a similar reaction from many Moiliili residents Wednesday morning. David Ichinose was particularly happy to take his weekly walk by Old Stadium Park. The numerous homeless tents that usually dot South King street Wednesday were gone.
"I just walk by across the street, but this morning, they're not here, so I'm walking on this side," Ichinose said.
Tuesday night, the police moved the homeless out so city crews could pressure wash the sidewalks and also encourage the homeless to seek help at a shelter. But only three campers opted to leave. The rest spent the night across the street. At daybreak, Jet Novak was already busy moving her belongings back to Moiliili Park.
"We hoard stuff. I hoard stuff because when things get taken from you, over and over, you want to make sure you have shampoo or hangers," said Novak.
The homeless here said they're a tight knit group that look out for each other and prefer the sidewalks over a shelter.
"The shelters are bug infested and it's run like jail," said Novak, who said she's been living on the street for a year.
And although residents are happy to have the sidewalks back, they know it's only temporary.
"Tomorrow, they'll be back on this side," said Ichinose. "So, what's the answer?"

I think it's cute when people like Piers Morgan try to play historian.
It's like he hasn't heard of the Pennsylvania Long Rifle's use in the American Revolution. Our founding fathers actually had a pretty good idea what rifles were like. Breech-loaders, too (which have been around since the 16th Century).
The sound you hear? That's me rolling my eyes. I love when liberals try to talk about guns, but fail to get past their cognitive dissonance and make stupid comments.December 4, 2012 - 7:39 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Reminds me of wailing about how modern firearms are so much more deadly than ones of the 18th century, and how the levels of firepower are unprecedented.
And then someone points out to them that eg. Jefferson went around with, what, three brace of pistols when traveling?
(It's even better to remind them that privately owned artillery has always been and remains perfectly legal, so long as it's muzzle-loading.
That's right – you can own cannons and mortars without even a tax stamp or a by-your-leave from the Feds, as long as they're not firing an explosive projectile, and aren't loaded from the breech.
This explains why muzzle-loading cannon are so popular with organized criminals…)December 4, 2012 - 11:24 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Piers isn't actually seeking an answer to his question, which might seem odd.
The purpose of posing such questions is 100% selfish. He wants to hear himself say it, while wearing a dashing suit. He's not actually trying to engage a conversation with another, you know, person.

There is something being missed here, something of constitutional importance. Morgan's opinion rests upon a historization of the Constitution, i.e., weapons constitutionally allowed are those of a 18th Century type. Modern guns are more sophisticated and effect than those of the 18th Century. For this reason limitations on the possession of fire arms of TODAY can be enacted without violating the Constitution. Roth, on the other hand, gives a technological interpretation (arms effective at a given age). This would allow the sophisiticated arms of today. Let us consider two examples of non-bearing or bearing outdated arms.
1) If the American rebels had used guns of 16th Century technology against the then upto date arms of British soldiers, it becomes doubtful if they could have won. In other words, the American rebels possessed arms on the technological level of the British. Roth is but asking for the same situation today. But, I suspect that Morgan would answer: "That is the problem. Today's arms are just too dangerous!" O.K., in the 1930s Jews and other dissidents in Nazi Germany had no weapons at their disposal. So, when it came to being hunted down and sent to one or the other disposal camp, Jews and others had no means of defense. If said unarmed citizens had had in their possession arms of technological equivalence to those of the Nazis, they at least could have put up a fight. Am I implying that I want to put up a fight against the police and military power that Obama has? If he should use then against me, if he should order that I disappear, the answer is "Yes", The point of the right to bear arms entails more than hunting, rather self-defense against a potential governmental tyranny. Am I saying that Obama wants to be a tyrannt? No! I am saying that I want a constitutional right to bear arms, if need be, against tyranny.
One more point, logically derivative from the logic of Morgan's argumentation. The right of Free Speech, too, can be historized, i.e., free to speak with 18th Century communication technology. If so called "free speech" within the terms of today's technology is left unchecked, then maybe someone will insult, say, Muslims and provoke violence. Since, as Obama has claimed, the future does not belong to those who slander Islam, then the critiques of Islam placing it in a negative light could, given today's technology, be disturbing to the peace. We can extend the dangers of free speech with TODAY's technology to whatever area of discussion that a governal power wants hushed up. In short, the logic of Morgan's "constitutionalism" can justify anulling the Constituion fully or adopting it to the current needs of governmental power.December 4, 2012 - 9:23 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Anti-gun folks often scoff at the idea that we need the right to keep and bear arms, as a defense against tyranny in the United States. Right, they say, like that's ever going to happen HERE!
Such people confuse cause and effect. The reason an American tyranny remains unlikely is because the ultimate power rests with the people. An estimated 100 million Americans own firearms; it don't get much more ultimate than that.
That an American tyranny is unlikely doesn't mean that the Second Amendment is unnecessary. It means that the Second Amendment is doing its job.December 4, 2012 - 8:38 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
It's just amazing that the first phrase (i.e. "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state") is so often abused.
When it feeds their purposes, it means the guns are for the militia, but shouldn't the "arms" to be considered be those that a militia would use.
No contemporary militia would be using muskets. Likewise, when it was drafted, it was also envisioned to cover a whole of of "arms" that aren't guns .. like ships ans cannons.December 4, 2012 - 9:54 am Link to this Comment | Reply
The idea that the 2nd A should be read as protecting private ownership of the issued long-arms for the regular military is occasionally encountered. In the event of a militia call-up for national defense (as the founders envisioned), the militia would be fighting alongside the regular forces, and it would be tremendously advantageous to be able to use the same ammunition and parts to supply and maintain both groups.December 4, 2012 - 10:06 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Isn't Piers Stefan O'Meara (aka Piers Morgan) a British national? Who is it, exactly, who thinks Piers has the brain power, insight or relevancy to comment on the US Constitution and the right to bear arms?
Anyone?December 4, 2012 - 9:49 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Piers has never heard of "letters of marque and reprisal". A rifle, even a cannon, could be owned by anyone who could buy one, but these were small potatoes to the biggest and most powerful military power; a cannon-equipped ship of war. "Privateers", they were called, and they were the most powerful non-government force on the planet for 200 years. PRIVATE CITIZENS could build or purchase a sailing vessel and fit it with cannons and carronades and set out to sea. And as long as they had the "letter of marque", he was allowed by his own government to go to war.December 5, 2012 - 12:46 am Link to this Comment | Reply
