Contrary to some opinions expressed in last Sunday's letters to the editor, the Second Amendment is subject to differing interpretations and doesn't preclude reasonable and practical restrictions on the sale, use and possession of guns.
The people who claimed a need for assault weapons to resist government tyranny fail to understand that the main sources of tyranny today are under-regulated banks, drug companies, parasitic health care insurance companies, for-profit medical providers and the Koch brothers and other billionaires whose money pollutes American democracy.
The NRA's recommendation that police or armed guards be stationed at schools would be poor policy, aside from increased cost and doubtful effectiveness, because the police would inevitably become involved, on their own initiative or on request from teachers, in student disciplinary matters better handled by teachers and school administrators.
Ralph Deeds,
Protect rights
Just after Obama got into office, he had large Democrat margins in the U.S. House and Senate. Why didn't he and all the other anti-rights politicians try to pass their useless, unconstitutional infringements on self-defense back then? Were they afraid of losing re-election? Now they're exploiting the Sandy Hook tragedy.
All but one mass murder in the last 20 years has occurred in gun-free zones. Instead of banning so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines, and passing other counterproductive laws, we should be banning gun-free slaughter zones.
Harold Texas School District, among others, since the Virginia Tech tragedy (2007), has allowed their faculty to carry concealed guns and hasn't had one problem to date. Had a few of the teachers been armed at Newton, most or all of the victims might still be alive. It's time to legalize freedom and restore the Constitution, not dismantle it.
Jim White
Guns above children
The children of Newtown were shot multiple times. The NRA opposes banning such guns that did this. The killer used a high-capacity clip, which made this massacre possible. The NRA is opposed to banning such clips. In short, they want to do nothing about this tragedy except wait for the next one.
The NRA has failed to realize the shift in public opinion. NRA Executive Vice-President Wayne LaPierre's bizarre rant after Newtown was proof. He basically told America's kids that a piece of metal was more important than they were. The message was your kids are expendable; our guns are not.
Allan Bieniek
Fight the military?
I found it interesting reading the arguments in Sunday's letters to the editor by those who claim that owning guns is a defense against a dictatorial government. Anyone who has seen the power of the military cannot seriously think that.
James D. Gohl
The right to rocket launchers?
Last Sunday's letter "Doing something without an effect" stated that the Second Amendment was meant to protect us from our government and that "the weapons of the day were the same as those used by the military," and that, therefore, "assault weapons should be the most protected, not the most vilified."
Using this logic, one assumes that the letter writer would find it acceptable for individuals to legally obtain rocket launchers, machine guns, bazookas, etc., for these are some of the weapons that our military use today.
Gary Ickes
Freedom and assault rifles
I am very much against personal liberties being taken away. I'm not a fan of people jumping to make more laws, restrict freedoms and create a police state in the name of safety. We could pad every wall, walk around in a bubble, and force radio-frequency ID chips to be installed in everyone to increase safety, but I have no desire to live that way.
What don't people get about the fact that guns don't kill people; people kill people?
This being said, I cannot fathom why anyone thinks he or she needs an assault rifle. You can shove the argument about rising up against a tyrannical government right out the window. That battle is already over. You're not overthrowing the government with militia tactics and assault rifles.

California police ruin somebody's Fourth of July
CA police say they found 2,500 pounds of illegal fireworks stored in one man's house -- and not wussy stuff like snakes and sparklers. We're talking M-80s, brother. It reportedly took two flatbed trucks to haul all that ordnance away.
(On Friday morning, I shot a video of Olathe firefighters demonstrating how NOT to set off fireworks. I'm here to tell you -- don't screw around with M-80s. They can kill a watermelon dead in seconds.)
(On a more serious note, I also interviewed a man who lost his house a year ago because some kids were playing with bottlerockets and one landed on the roof. His family escaped, but it took them nine months to get into their new house.)

This never happened on "Dennis The Menace"
A Florida boy, age 11, has been convicted of misdemeanor battery for hitting another student with a pellet from his slingshot. (Could be worse. When he was arrested, they booked him on a "second-degree felony charge of shooting or throwing a deadly missile," the Orlando Sentinel reports.)
No word how badly the other kid was hurt. The little con could get a year in juvie and a $1K fine, max.

Shawnee police look for con artists who stole $14K
Shawnee police are trying to find the two women who allegedly scammed a 75-year-old lady out of $14K. The method: pigeon drop. I'm surprised that stuff still works, but I guess it wouldn't be a classic con if people didn't fall for it. Benita's got a report here; KMBC's got photos of one suspect.

Police: Senior citizen chases down flasher
Bad: Man allegedly flashes passerbys and pees on flowers outside California restaurant.
Good: Until he's chased away by a 66-year-old man.
Awesome: Who is also a former track star and NFL player. Police say the 66-year-old chased a suspect right into their arms. (Suspect hasn't been charged, and we don't have his side of the story.)

MO won't sanction bar in Josh Hancock case
Missouri's Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control says it's done investigating the bar where Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock was drinking before he got into a fatal car wreck, the Post-Dispatch reports. The bar won't be punished. There was some question whether employees had continued serving Hancock even after he was drunk. The late baseball player's dad has sued the restaurant.

St. Louis dad injected sons with heroin, coke
He's getting 10 years. Court records say he did it so the boys would "understand how he felt" when he got high. One of the boys will also get to understand what it's like to have Hep C, which is something else Dad gave him by sharing needles.

Crimefighting sisters give ID thieves what-for
I want so badly for this to be turned into a TV show ... Two sisters tracked down the identity thieves who stole the younger one's purse from a Michigan swimming pool, the Macomb Daily reports.
While she was canceling her cards, she learned the thieves had charged about $800 at a local CVS, most of it on makeup. (Sidebar: What the hell, CVS?) The sisters got there too late, but they convinced the manager to show them the security tape.
Meanwhile, one of the sister's friends works at a bank and phoned them a tip about someone trying to access little sister's accounts. The friend was forbidden from saying which branch, but the women quickly deduced there was only one open: the bank at the local Kroger.
They got there just in time to capture the thieves, who tried to run off, only the sisters held them down until police arrived. Did I mention the suspects were still wearing their bikinis?

In the right hands, anything is a weapon
Nice little story from last night about a guy in Old Northeast who stops a thief from taking his license plate. Thief jabs at the guy with the screwdriver -- not to be outdone, the guy was able to draw blood with the license plate. A suspect is in custody.

Lisa Nowak didn't wear diapers?
The attorney for Lisa Nowak, the former astronaut accused of attempted kidnapping, battery and burglary with assault, says that she did NOT wear diapers. From counsel's mouth:
"The biggest lie in this preposterous tale that has been told is that my client drove from Houston, Texas, to Orlando, Florida, nonstop, wearing a diaper," Donald Lykkebak said after filing motions to suppress evidence in Nowak's criminal case. "That is an absolute fabrication."

Who changed Chris Benoit's Wikipedia page?
Odd footnote in the Chris Benoit case: Somebody changed his Wikipedia page to show his wife was dead -- but the change happened hours before her body was discovered. The IP address for whoever made the change was from Stamford, Conn. -- which, coincidentally, is where World Wrestling Entertainment is headquartered.

Policing the courts
The Columbia Missourian has a nice feature about the court marshals who work at the Boone County courthouse. My favorite part:
Baer, 59, has seen his share of hairy situations— like the time a man came into the courthouse five minutes before it closed saying he needed to talk to a judge about recalling four or five felony warrants for his arrest. The man wouldn't leave when Baer refused to let him speak to the judge.
"This guy was in a wheelchair and we literally had to fight him all the way down to the holding cell," Baer said. "We finally got him down there, but he was one of the strongest guys we ever had to fight. It took four of us to get him down there."

"To Catch A Predator" doesn't
Dateline NBC's "To Catch A Predator" is really good TV, but some Texas authorities say it's not very good law-enforcement. The TV show worked with a group called Perverted Justice to catch Internet predators through online stings. Perverted Justice did a couple of project here with KCTV.
The local DA in Texas is declining to pursue any charges because the chat logs can't be guaranteed as authentic and complete, The AP reports. And one of the accused men committed suicide when police and a camera crew showed up at his house. (The city manager lost his job because he OK'd the project without telling the mayor or the city council.)
Oddly, the story doesn't quote Perverted Justice at all, but I know in past cases, they've always defended their work. The NBC reporter is quoted, saying this is the first place they've had any problem with a DA.
Hat Tip: Thanks to The_Golfer

Guilty verdict in 2005 KCMO slaying
Aldo Martinez, 21, was convicted Thursday of murdering Raul Garcia Jr., 19, back in 2005, Joe Lambe reports.
Martinez had been roughed up by a rival gang and went looking for revenge, prosecutors said. He didn't see the other gang, but he did go after Garcia, who had nothing to do with the original attackers. Martinez' attorney says he was only defending himself because Garcia took a swing at him.
From the story: Witnesses said he (Martinez) then wiped the knife clean, kissed it and screamed the name of his gang.

Public Enemy No. 1: The Weinermobile
Arizona police spotted the world-famous Weinermobile traveling down the road and, for reasons known only to them, decided to run a license-plate check. The report that came back seemed to show the vehicle was stolen, so officers pulled it over.
Turns out the officers misread the report. Police in Wisconsin, the Weinermobile's natural habitat, wrote that the plates, which say YUMMY, should be considered stolen if they appear on any vehicle but the Weinermobile.
Hat Tip: Thanks, eephus!

At wife's request, mayor gets police guard
Mayor Funkhouser has stuck by his decision to not have police bodyguards on a daily basis, but he does have them for special occasions, apparently.
DeAnn Smith has a story about the mayor's wife asking KCPD to assign officers to him during a community forum on the West Side. Tony, who's not a big fan of the mayor, says Funkhouser should've accepted the protection from the start.

VonZall Temple Jr.'s family isn't giving up
We report about reward money and how it can help solve cases, but sometimes it's easy to forget what goes into raising that money. Case in point: VonZall Temple Jr.
VonZall was killed in late May near 25th and Kensington, just a few days after he graduated from high school. Officers found his body lying in his car, which he had gone to show a prospective buyer. He was 17 years old, and everybody I've interviewed has said he was a good kid. So far, nobody has been charged with his murder.
Earlier this week, the reward for his case climbed to $8,000. His family has raised the bulk of the money themselves. Last weekend, they held a bike ride and picnic. On Saturday, they're going to have a garage sale from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 6600 Broadmoor in Kansas City. They're even talking about selling garbage bags as a way to raise money for a reward.
I talked to VonZall's aunt, Teemon Henderson, on Thursday afternoon. She said the bulk of what's been done so far has been done by the family. The police are investigating, of course, but as far as publicizing the teen's murder and asking for tips, it's largely fallen to the people who loved VonZall. Henderson has seen other cases get more attention, and while she doesn't begrudge those families, prays they get justice, it's also been frustrating for her. "Nobody's trying to help us."
If anyone has information about this case, they're asked to call the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS (474-8477). All calls are confidential.

Local man gets life for brutal 1998 murder
John "Phil" Street, 45, got life without parole Thursday for the 1998 murder of Douglas C. Weil, an Independence man who was "brutally beaten, stabbed multiple times, shot in the back of the head and in the back, then stuffed in the trunk of a car," U.S. Attorney John Wood's office reports.
Street was already in prison when he bragged about engineering Weil's death -- which apparently got the case started again.

Happy Tuesday – I hope you're all enjoying your summer. At last this week it's feeling like summer weather around here. Of course I'm back at work, but at least it's warm!
Today's SweetStamps.com theme is bling. Instead of the traditional rhinestones, I decided to use glitter and liquid pearls. It's my first foray into using liquid pearls, and I like them, but they are messy!! You have to apply them very slowly and carefully so you don't mess up your project!!
I also decided that I needed another tag instead of a card this week. I definitely need to stock up on some tags!!
I used the Cutwork Rose stamp along with the Fancy Birthday stamp. Of course, I used my copics as follows:
- RV17 & RV19 for the roses,
- YG93 & YG95 for the leaves
- B000 for the background
- outlined with C1
I left the lines a little less blended between colors because I wasn't sure how much you would be able to see through the glitter… I like how it turned out – as always, glitter never looks quite right in a picture. This tag is very eye-catching in real life!
Check out what the rest of the design team has done on the SweetStamps.com blog. And please feel free to play along – you could win free goodies from the SweetStamp.com shop!!
Thanks so much for looking & happy craftin'!!
SACC #19 – Love You
Happy Friday! It's my last lakeside installment for the week. It's a great exercise to work out of one parcel of goodies – a challenge that everyone should try sometime. But it will be nice to have all my embellishments and tools again!!
With that, I bring you week #19 of the Sister Act Card Challenge. Hard to believe that the term is almost at a close.
This week I used Lil Tin from The Doodle Pantry. He's another pre-colored image, making for a nice quick card. I used a tag, some ticket stubs, some strips of designer paper and some candy dots to bring it all together. And I am loving the chevron ribbon that I put on the tag, too. I need more!!
Thanks again for popping by and happy crafting!!

Happy Wednesday! It's another iPhone installment from out at the lake. So again, I will be brief ('cuz posting on a iPhone takes forever!!)
Today's card is for The Cutting Cafe using the printable stamp set called All About Girls. Love the cute little dresses in this set!
I used my Copics to color. The designer papers are Bella Blvd and I finished it all off with a flower brad and plenty of bling. I hope you like it.
Thanks so much for looking and happy crafting! Have a wonderful day!!

It's time for another SweetStamps.com challenge. Today's theme is Silhouettes. A rainy day at the lake gave me plenty of time to play with this challenge.
I used the set called Pixie Silhouette along with my copics – YG61, RV10 and BG10.
I'm updating the blog via my iPhone, so it's a very slow process. Forgive me for being brief. I do appreciate you popping by!!
Thanks so much for looking & happy craftin'!!
Friday how I love you – you are totally fab!! It's that time again – time for another Sister Act Card Challenge!
I'm using an adorable little digi from today's sponser – she's called Leggy Lilly. How cute is she?! I colored her and the fab tag with my copics and then used some fun, bright colored designer paper to keep it whimsical. I hope you like it!
Thanks so much for looking; have a wonderful weekend!

It's midweek – yay! Boy oh boy do I need it to be the weekend already – I'm exhausted!! Summer means that the kids are staying up too late, which means that I'm not getting my quiet time after they go to bed – because by the time they finally fall asleep, that's all I want to do too! What am I going to do when they are teenagers!?!?!?
At any rate, I've got one last Christmas in July themed card to help me escape – to a time with schedules, routines and early bedtimes – yippee!! The Christmas Card Fun Cutting File Templates from The Cutting Cafe makes a fun holiday card in a jiffy. Again this week I was drawn to my sparkle paper. It's so shimmery and pretty! Reminded me of snow for this card.
I do not have a cutter, so I had to hand-cut the trees, but since they are all straight cuts, it was pretty quick. Then I simply rounded the corners, added some ribbon and mounted it to a green card base using foam dots. A bow, button and some rhinestones finish of this little cutie. I hope you like it!!
Thanks so much for stopping by & happy crafting!

I used the Gingerbread Duo – Large stamps, and colored them with copics as follows:
- E33 & E35 for the cookie,
- R81 & R83 for the pink details
- R24 & R29 for the red details
- outlined with W3 and W1, and
- highlighted with some white gel pen
Check out what the rest of the design team has done on the SweetStamps.com blog. And please give it a go – if you share your Christmas Tag creation, you could win some goodies of your own from the SweetStamp.com shop!!
Thanks so much for looking & happy craftin'!!
SACC #17 – Time to relax!!
Friday means it's time to kick back and relax – and enjoy the next installment of the Sister Act Card Challenge!
Summer is flying by at an alarmingly fast pace, so I wanted to feel a little extra beachy today. An itsy bitsy bikini will do the trick (sorry it's not yellow…)
Remember to join us over at the challenge blog and you could win some free digis - Anything goes!
Thanks so much for looking; have a terrific weekend!

Today's project is another Cutting Cafe shaped card. This week's challenge was to use the Nail Polish Shaped Card – perfect for a certain girlie girl I know!!
I used silver glitter cardstock along with some hot pink for the banner, and black for the cap. I combined two of the sentiments for the banner, and I put a rhinestone in the middle of a button for a little more bling. As a final touch, I attached a row of rhinestones to the cap – so cute! This was really a fun, quick card to make – I LOVE it!! I hope you like it too.
I never realized before how hard it is to take a picture of glitter. It looks very dull and grey in this photo, but it is adorable in real life – very bright & reflective…
Thanks so much for stopping by & happy crafting!

High-anus-port MA-- Karma is a bitch, as the late Teddy Kennedy is finding out. The 'lion of the Senate' dropped dead just one-minute after being charged with murdering Mary Jo Kophecne in 1969. The next thing Teddy knew, he was hatching from a egg, and waking up to a nightmare. Teddy was reborn as a Flying Vietnamese Turd-Eating Cockroach!
The filthy Vietnamese roach is the most disgusting insect on Earth. It eats only fresh shit, and grows a foot long.
"I must really have the delirium tremors this time! i think I have six-legs!" said Teddy, after opening his eyes. "This is like some surreal Kafkaesque dream! This isn't what I expected! I'm a Kennedy, get me out of here!" he shouted to no one.
Teddy was still in the Kennedy Compound in High-anus-port. The filthy compound has been infested with roaches and other vermin for decades.
Suddenly, Teddy saw some fresh dog shit on the floor, and he went over to eat it. Chunks of steamy dog turds were soon filling his roach-mouth and stomach. Teddy couldn't believe how good the dog shit tasted! The Kennedy dog is named Splash.
"I could sure use a drink after that meal!" said Teddy the Roach. He flew into the liquor cabinet (which is as big as an average shopping mall) and flew down the neck of an opened whiskey bottle.
Caroline Kennedy then walked into the liquor cabinet to have a little nip. "I guess its always Happy Hour somewhere!" she laughed to herself and grabbed a bottle. Caroline is the heir-apparent to the Kennedy dynasty. She is admired by millions for staying sober--sometimes for an hour or more everyday. Her IQ is 24.
Carline was as too stupid to see the giant roach in the bottle.
"Wow, this is good whiskey!" she said and began chewing on something. "That crunchy thing was good! Crunchy whiskey, what will they think of next!" she said in a drunken slur, and began picking little roach legs out from between her teeth.

Webinar: Using Heart Rate Feedback in Training and On Race Day
Topic: Using Heart Rate Feedback in Training and On Race Day
Jesse Kropelnicki leads the discussion on one of QT2's most valuable training and racing concepts: Heart Rate Monitoring. Heart rate feedback plays a critical role in training and pacing across all race distances, especially the marathon, 70.3, and Ironman. Heart rate-based training and racing protocols take a great deal into consideration, and provide a very detailed assessment for an individual athlete's personal needs. Learn how QT2 has successfully trained and paced thousands of athletes world-wide, from beginner to professional, using the techniques covered within this webinar. Learn how to build effective heart rate based training and racing protocols, why heart rate goes up in climatic heat, and how using it can assist in GI distress prevention on race day.
In this webinar, you will learn to:
· Calculate proper heart rate training zones
· Adjust heart rate in training based on external variables
· Use heart rate to judge the progress you are making in training (and how it can adjust training stress for you)
· Pace the perfect race on race day using heart rate metrics
· Discover, define and implement the "magic bullet" for long course racing: heart rate based pacing.

Eco-conscious drivers in Chappaqua will soon be able to plug in at the hamlet's Metro-North station when a new program introducing 10 electric car-charging stations debuts.
The project, which has been under development since December 2011, is jointly funded by the New York Power Authority and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and comes at no cost to the Town of New Castle, Town Administrator Penny Paderewski said.
"We're not paying any of it or I don't think we'd be that interested," she said. ...

More than two-thirds of Purchasing Directors in the United States are seasoned employees who have more than 10 years of experience in the field. Pay ranges from $51K to $150K per year, and the average comes out to $86K annually. Total cash compensation for Purchasing Directors runs from $51K to $150K depending on bonuses that can occasionally exceed $30K and profit sharing that can reach almost $15K. Geographic location is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by tenure. Male Purchasing Directors are far more common among survey respondents than their female counterparts, who typically comprise less than one-third of the field. Most Purchasing Directors like their work and job satisfaction is high. Nearly all enjoy medical while a strong majority get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to the larger part. The figures in this rundown are based on the results of PayScale's salary questionnaire.

The purchasing director is typically responsible for overseeing their organization's purchasing, logistics, and operations staff. Their main objective is to ensure that all departmental employees are providing high-quality work and meeting all company standards. Purchasing directors provides leadership to supply chain and operations employees and ensure purchasing requests are completed in a timely, efficient manner. Purchasing directors are responsible for overseeing all aspects of the purchasing, logistics, and operations departments, as well as establishing guidelines for approving purchase orders. Additionally, purchasing directors must lead cost-reduction initiatives, inventory management, and materials budgets. They provide final analysis on corporate suppliers and perform continuous research to develop best practices within their departments. A purchasing director usually reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO) of an organization.Read More...
Purchasing directors work in a variety of of industries, but these jobs are most often found in manufacturing and engineering companies that require a high level of intricate purchasing. The day-to-day responsibilities of a purchasing director vary by industry, but typically involve scheduling and managing all employees involved in purchasing and logistics functions. This is typically a full time position spent in an office setting and on the production floor; travel to vendor locations may be required.
Purchasing director positions typically require a bachelor's degree in a related field and a minimum of 10 years' experience (including five years of prior management experience). Excellent organizational and multitasking skills are required, as is the ability to lead and direct the work of other team members. Proficiency with basic computer software is also needed.
Overall, survey participants reported applying a fair number of skills to their work. Most notably, skills in Contract Negotiation, Negotiation, Purchasing, and Inventory Management are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Procurement, Inventory Management, and Purchasing. Most people familiar with Contract Negotiation also know Inventory Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Purchasing Directors, more experience generally translates to higher pay. Survey participants with less than five years' experience pocket $60K on average, but those with five to 10 years of experience enjoy a much bigger median of $77K. For Purchasing Directors, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $98K. People who have worked for more than 20 years report a median income of $101K, which is barely higher than the median for folks with 10 to 20 years of experience.

New York City continues to impress me. Since Hurricane Katrina hit two years ago, America realized that we are completely unprepared for large scale disaster. So what do we do about it? Today, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the "What If New York City…" design competition, hoping to address this issue for NYC. The competition is extremely well designed and complete, posing that Hurricane Kirk, a Category 3 storm hits New York and displaces thousands.
Because of the density of New York City, the traditional solution of trailers doesn't work. The competition website will take you through the fictional coastal neighborhood of Prospect Shore, where 38,000 people would be displaced after the storm. You can meet the people that live there, see what happens to their homes, and what happens the first 200 days after the storm.
At that point, the rest is up to you. What is a housing solution that could be used for a year to five years after that? How does it incorporate principles like density, rapid deployment, flexibility, cost, and eco-concepts like reusability and sustainability?
You must be 18 or older to enter. You may work as an individual or as part of a team. You must register between October 15 and November 23, 2007. Submissions are due by December 14, 2007. Then, in January 2008, finalists will be selected and given $10,000 to develop their ideas, which will be shown off in May.
Kudos to New York City, Mayor Bloomberg, the Rockefeller Foundation, and Architecture for Humanity for setting forth this challenge and making it utterly clear what kind of devastation would occur with an incident such as this. Even if you are not considering entering the competition, check out the What If New York City… website. It is an interesting place to click around.
Cool challenge, wish I had design skills!

In the middle of 2007, Morgan Stanley paid out $4.4 million to settle a class-action lawsuit initiated against it by its own clients. Why were Morgan Stanley's clients suing it? They alleged that Morgan Stanley took money from them for buying precious metals on their behalf, took money from them for "storage" of these precious metals accounts, but only pretended to purchase the bullion.
Morgan Stanley (reading from the standard Wall Street script) denied the allegations, but settled the case "to avoid the cost and distraction of continued litigation." Before moving on to Morgan's Stanley's latest exploits in the precious metals market, this deserves a few comments.
First of all, if Morgan Stanley did only pretend to purchase bullion on behalf of its clients, while charging them for the "bullion" and storage fees on that imaginary bullion, we have a word for such actions: fraud. So if Morgan Stanley was guilty of swindling its own clients in this manner then why wasn't it required to acknowledge its guilt?
The answer is simple. Morgan Stanley is based in The Land of Fraud (aka the United States of America). In The Land of Fraud swindling people (whether total strangers or long-term clients) is a way of life – just ask a former Goldman Sachs employee. Thus the Wall Street banksters can commit fraud without ever having to admit fraud.
Indeed, Bloomberg explicitly confirmed that the SEC's commit-but-never-admit policy has been standard practice for more than four decades, with such settlements then rubber-stamped by the U.S. judiciary. Bloomberg noted this institutionalized corruption when it criticized a (lone) U.S. judge who has had the temerity to challenge the commit-but-never-admit doctrine:
…As part of the agreement, New York-based Citigroup neither admitted nor denied the allegations, a clause which has been standard in such settlements for at least four decades.
But it gets better for the Wall Street fraud factories. Not only can they commit acts of fraud with impunity while never having to admit to them, but the "fine" they receive after being caught in the act is rarely more than 10% of their proceeds of crime – and often much, much less.
A classic example was the travesty of American Justice when Wachovia Bank was caught laundering nearly $400 billion dollars of drug cartel profits. It paid less than $200 million in fines and penalties. This was less than 2% of the bank's 2009 profits, and less than 0.05% of the drug-money it laundered...

and that is exactly all they do constantly even not on the power play is the dump and chase dump and chase.. i cant stand to watch it anymore.. its like they dont have the skill to carry the puck into the offensive zone so this is how they try to get in
Dump and chase is all fine and good if its NOT the only approach you are taking. The Devils have to mix it up now and then to keep opponents honest. It cant be 100% dump and chase, 100% get puck to the point.

Electric Blue
Electric Blue is a really vivid semi-permanent hair dye from Special Effects with a good depth. It starts out very dark blue which looks almost neon in sunlight and gradually fades out to a lilac shade.
Price: £10.00
Availability: 36 In Stock
Photos of Electric Blue
More on Special Effects
Special Effects is one of the longer lasting brands, with almost 30 shades there are plenty of colours to choose from.
Each bottle contains 118ml of cream hair colourant. Not tested on animals.
Longevity of hair colour varies from shade to shade with pale colours lasting around 4 weeks on light blonde bleached hair and deeper colours like Blue Velvet, Deep Purple and Atomic Pink lasting several months for some!
- Semi permanent, conditioning cream hair colourant
- Apply directly to bleached hair (no need to mix with developer)
- Lasts from 4 weeks to 4 months+ depending on shade
- Not tested on animals
- 118ml
Usage Instructions & Tips +/-
For best results, particularly with lighter shades, apply to hair that has been pre-lightened to pale blond. Apply to freshly washed (not conditioned), dry or damp hair. Apply using latex gloves. We recommend using a tinting brush to ensure even coverage. Work the dye into the hair for a few minutes and leave for at least 15 minutes (you may leave this dye on for longer as long as you cover your hair with plastic wrap or a shower cap to prevent it drying out). Rinse with warm water until the water runs clear.
For longer lasting colour, use a shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair.
Ingredients ⮣
Precautions +/-
Although these dyes do not contain the harsh chemicals of other dyes such as ammonia and peroxide, there is still a small chance that they could cause an allergic reaction. For this reason it is imperative that you do a strand and sensitivity test before using them. An ingredients list is available above and can also be found on the product's packaging (ingredients list can sometimes be found under our sticker). NEVER use any of these products on eyelashes or eyebrows.
As you would expect from a dye these colours can stain textiles, ceramic, wood and other surfaces as well as temporarily stain skin and nails so be careful to cover surfaces and wear gloves when applying the colour. Once used these products may also rub off your hair and skin and onto clothing and bedding. Although this usually disappears after washing it's worth bearing this in mind. Staining to bathtubs, basins and showers can easily be cleaned using a bleach based cleaning product.
Do not mix with peroxide.
Colours may cause permanent staining to bleached or chemically treated hair. Tip: You can avoid staining on your skin by applying a layer of vaseline anywhere on your skin where dye may come in contact.
Reviews of Electric Blue
Normally I absolutely adore Special Effects, really, only hair dye I use. I got Electric Blue today for Ska Prom [a local ska kid show where if you dress up you get money off at the door.] Anyway, I bleached my hair out [I'm an old pro, haha] to blonde, and got all nice and prepared to put the blue in. I was hoping for an electric blue. Sadly, however, I was mistaken. When I began to put it in I noticed it was a bit more...Purple than I was hoping. A lot more purple than I was hoping, honestly. It turned into the ugliest shade of blue/purple/grey I've ever seen in my life. It's hideous. Thankfully I have made dye mistakes before [-cough- Manic Panic] and know how to rinse it out. Anyway, this rating is coming from a loyal Special Effects user. 0/10.Report Comment
I absolutely adored this colour. It was exactly what I was looking for. It was a very bright, true blue for a week or so after leaving it on platinum blonde hair for four hours. The only drawback was, as a blue, it faded far too quickly for my liking. And I was /hardly/ smitten with the fact that it turned purple. Sure, it's better than fading to some really ugly grey or off-green, but I really wish it would have stayed actually /blue/ longer than it did. So much love for the initial colour, but a point off for how quickly it turned purple.Report Comment
I put this on blue on bleached hair that was still that nasty orange color because I had had a previous red that just wouldn't bleach out. This blue was a little bit darker than I had intended, but it a was neon blue in the sun. So indoors it looked a little more conservative until the sun hit it. I didn't notice any purple tints at all and I left it in the 15 minutes I was supposed to and for 4 weeks it didn't fade, which surprised me a lot. I washed with cold water and used Paul Mitchell's anti-fade shampoo and conditioner, which is why I think it never really faded. This color will stick to your hair extremely well as long as you take care of it.Report Comment
LOVE LOVE LOVE this colour, done half my hair with this (other half atomic pink) i applied this on bleached hair and it has come out vibrant and bright just what i was looking for. i done it 2 weeks ago and havent faded at all, near my roots its gone a purply blue that goes proper blue further down it goes. I was my hair in luke warm to cold water as heard this helps. would recommend anyone to use this colour if they want a blue. I only used to just half a bottle on my middle of the back hair (from my parting i done half) so got some left over when it needs topping up :-) will defently use this colour againReport Comment
I mixed it with Blue Mayhem and it combined to give me the vividest mane of cyber blue hair I could have hoped for. Absolutely gorgeous colour. I was worried it was going to be purple at first but it washed out very, very blue and very, very intense. Stains like hell and you don't need so much.Report Comment
A very pretty true blue. Brighter than Blue Mayhem. I haven't had trouble with it running, then again I don't keep it in long and I rinse in ice-cold water.Report Comment

The goal of Rosary Army is to freely give a knotted Rosary to whomever requests one. We Make Them. Pray Them. Give Them Away.
If you're ready to send us your finished knotted Rosaries, click here for a Rosary Donation Form. Print it out, fill in the requested information, put it in an envelope, and mail it to us with your Rosaries to:
New Evangelizers, Inc.
P.O. Box 1614
Parker, CO 80134
Send us 1 or send us 1000.
You can send them with Crucifixes already on them, or leave that last knot for us and we'll add the Crucifix for you. We do ask that you don't submit Rosaries with knotted crosses, however. Though they're beautiful, we believe (at the urging of our pariochial vicar at church) that a Rosary should have a Crucifix with Jesus on it to remind us of the Mysteries of his life on which we meditate when praying the Rosary.
We ask when submitting Rosaries that you first read through our policies:
- Rosaries must be knotted and made with #36 twine/cord as described in our "How to Make Them" instructions.
- In order to receive the FULL value on your donated rosary tax receipt, the completed rosaries must have ALL the following characteristics:
- be no more than 23 inches in length (including the length of the crucifix) when laid out straight. If you have too much space between the Hail Mary knots, your rosary will be too long. The key is to have no more than 1/8″ inch space between each knot. As stated in the instructions, the knots must be made very tightly; and
- have the correct number of knots; and
- have no misaligned or crooked knots. A correctly tied knot should look neat and tight. If the knot gets bungled up in the twisting process, please re-do the knot.
- If submitted rosaries do not conform to all of the above-stated requirements, the rosaries will receive a half-value on your donated tax receipt rate.
- Please bind your rosaries with twine or wrap in paper when prepping them for mailing to our organization. Please do not bag them individually as it slows down the inspection process.
- Rosaries must be submitted with the accompanying Submission Form and sent to the address on the form.
- All Rosaries become the property of New Evangelizers, Inc. d/b/a/ Rosary Army Corp. for us to distribute freely to those who request one. New Evangelizers, Inc. d/b/a Rosary Army Corp. will never retain money or seek profit from the sale of Rosaries. Our motto is Make Them, Pray Them, and Give Them Away.
The Rosary donation form requires Adobe Acrobat reader. If you cannot print the form, then please send a letter to us at the address before, stating that you agree to all the terms outlined above, along with the color you would like (based on availability).

As calls for SAFER Barriers on every inch of wall mount following Denny Hamlin's suffering a compressed fracture in his lower back Sunday, NASCAR will conduct its review of whether a barrier will be installed on the concrete wall Hamlin hit at Auto Club Speedway.
Hamlin slid across the California track's racing surface and apron before hitting the concrete wall head-on. The car bounced back violently with all four wheels leaving the ground.
It is standard operating procedure for NASCAR to review accidents and determine whether any upgrades to the walls are necessary.
The SAFER (steel-and-foam energy reduction) Barrier, commonly referred to as "soft walls," were developed by the University of Nebraska Midwest Roadside Safety Facility and the Indy Racing League.
NASCAR required the walls, first installed at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2002, to be installed in the turns at all NASCAR tracks by the 2005 racing season.
Since then, some tracks have added barriers on inside walls in select areas.
The walls are not cheap to erect at $500 a foot—meaning that a mile of the barrier is more than $2.5 million—and also are costly to maintain.
"Knowing what we know today about safety, there is no excuse for not having SAFER Barriers all the way around every track," said NASCAR Hall of Famer and Fox analyst Darrell Waltrip. "It would have made all the difference in the world for Hamlin at Fontana. That boy wouldn't have a hurt back now if there were SAFER Barriers in place there.
"He would have climbed out of the car and just been mad at Joey Logano over their wreck. … At 200 miles per hour, cars can go places you never dreamed of. So, why take that chance?"
NASCAR's sanctioning agreement with the tracks requires tracks to make any changes necessary to the facility or risk having the race canceled.
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Director John Darby said tracks are annually evaluated by NASCAR's consultants—typically the experts who designed and installed the walls—and recommendations made for improvements.
"The part of the wall that Denny hit in California, obviously that wall has been there since the racetrack was built," Darby said. "But one of the points that they look at is frequency of impacts are, and where the more prevalent points of impact are, and those are addressed first. … It's an evolution.
"In light of Denny's accident, I'm sure that there will be more investigations done in that area of the racetrack."
Among the tracks that have added SAFER Barriers after accidents have been Las Vegas, Watkins Glen, Kentucky and Richmond.
"Nobody's reluctant to do the things that need to be done," Darby said. "But with the same token, it needs to be reviewed by the expert people who know what the heck they are talking about, and the proper directives and follow‑ups made."
Hamlin doesn't need to see anything more to be convinced that a SAFER Barrier is needed.
"We'll find just every hole there is," Hamlin told reporters from USA Today and FoxSports.com on Monday when he left the hospital. "There's just no safe place that a SAFER Barrier shouldn't be.
"I know there's kind of protocol between NASCAR and the tracks to distinguish where SAFER Barriers should be, because they do cost the tracks a lot. I'm sure when we go back there will be one there, and it's just unfortunate it takes wrecks like (these) for them to kind of reconfigure these tracks where they need to be safety-wise."

Any idea what resolution the free MAXWELL limits you to? I was going to do Kerkythea, but it seems to no longer have a website to download from.
With the free version maximum image resolution is 800 x 800. With the licensed version maximum resolution is full HD (1920x1080) and it includes a production render engine - which means that it is equipped to deal with more complex lighting. Of course there are other rendering engines for SketchUp that will run on Mac. I also use an iMac.
For myself I would like to have tried Blender but I found it hard to get started with it. SketchUp was a (relative) breeze to get started with, but admittedly it doesn't work like Blender.
I think what I might do is try the free version to see if it speaks to me.
$99 is a bit much to swallow right now.
ETA: Did it make you downgrade your version of Silverlight from 5 to 4 in order to make Maxwell run?? That's what it told me I have to do.

If actor Bob Sorenson were ever to have his own TV series, it would surely be titled, "Everybody Loves Bob."
And well it should be.
Dishing on fellow actors and directors is part of the territory in show business. And with 30 years on Valley stages under Sorenson's 34-inch belt, one would think someone somewhere would have some little itsy-bitsy gossip on the 54-year-old actor of stage, TV and film.
But there's no dirt to be found on one of the Valley's most popular entertainers of the past half century. Everybody, it seems, truly loves Bob.
In a cut-throat industry where few A-list performers enjoy even a decade of success, Sorenson is celebrating his 30th year entertaining local, regional and national audiences, mostly on stage. From his 1980 debut as a leading man in Tempe Little Theatre's "Play it Again, Sam" to his current starring role in Arizona Theatre Company's "God of Carnage," Sorenson has built a solid reputation as a local box-office draw and an actors' actor.
The latter accolade, he says, is due to bevy of encouraging and tough teachers.
"I was lucky to have two very special drama teachers back in Tomah, Wis. In junior high, it was Carol Bursinger, and in high school, it was Jym Clark. Both of them instilled in me early on that performing is a team sport. I've never forgotten that."
Although not quite the class clown as a kid, Sorenson says he was aware he had a "pretty decent" sense of humor. That self confidence, buoyed with a dream of being a performer, prompted Sorenson to leave small-town life behind in the mid-'70s and head west to Arizona State University to study communications and theater.
At ASU, Sorenson says he was lucky enough to find not one but five professors who not only nurtured his innate talents but shaped his healthy attitude toward acting.
From drama professor David Vining, Sorenson learned to "open up and be creative." From theater professors Bill Dobkin and Dan Witt, he honed his now well-known work ethic and professionalism. From communications professors Janet Elsea and Kristen Valentine, Sorenson gained a profound appreciation for the "whole story" and "a great respect for the word."
As with all aspiring actors, Sorenson worked odd day jobs while waiting for his career to take off. In the early 1980s, Sorenson was a much-in-demand food server at Phoenix's Pasta Sergio's, where you'd think he would have added some girth to his string-bean frame. That didn't happen. Talk about discipline.
"I had a serious talk with my lovely ex-wife Linda DeArmond (also an actress), and we agreed it was time to go for broke. I waited my last table in 1985, and I've been working professionally ever since," says Sorenson.
Actors Lab Arizona and Actors Theatre of Phoenix (ATOP) were Sorenson's first professional home bases.
Judy Rollings, an ATOP founder, remembers Sorenson's first audition: "He was wearing khaki pants and a white shirt. He looked kind of preppy. But he blew us all away. He became one of our first resident actors. The thing I most remember about Bob is that he's always consistent. You can count on him."
Rollings directed Sorenson in "Orphans," a heavy drama requiring him to play an emotionally challenged young man.
"That was quite a stretch for Bob, but he got it just right," she says.
Versatility is another of Sorenson's strong suits. He does comedy. He does drama. He's conquered musical comedy, even while not being the world's best song-and-dance man.
He's even succeeded at being a romantic lead - this from a lithe guy with a character actor's face.
Proof of Sorenson's flexibility and damn-the-torpedoes approach to theater was his willingness to play Arizona TV icon Pat McMahon in "The Wallace and Ladmo Show."
Ben Tyler wrote the 1999 stage homage to Arizona's much-loved, legendary kids TV show.
"Can you imagine how hard it would be to play someone who is still alive and who would be sitting on the third row watching you every night? That's tough, yet Bob took on that challenge," says Tyler.
Sorenson's fans are not limited to the Valley. He performs around the country in regional theater. In fact, he will reprise his "God of Carnage" role next spring at the San Jose Repertory Theatre in California.
"Bob is greatly in demand," says David Ira Goldstein, Arizona Theatre Company's artistic director. He's seen Sorenson's work in a "dozen or so shows" and continues to be amazed at the actor's ability to go from comedy to drama with the flip of some internal on-off switch.
"He's a chameleon who can do serious stuff and then turn around and do a wild comedy like 'The Mystery of Irma Vep.' Those kinds of actors are rare," says Goldstein.
"God of Carnage" requires Sorenson to be on all burners comically and dramatically.
In the Rick Lombardo-directed production of Yasmina Reza's Tony-winning play now at the Herberger, Sorenson is a supposedly button-down husband. But when he loses his cool, he loses it big.
"Reza is very good at using humor to unmask what people say they are and what they really are not too far beneath the surface," says Sorenson.
"Some people have the misperception that this is a heavy drama. True, it tackles relational and social issues. But it's loaded with laughs. It shows how, when our buttons are pushed, we quickly turn from civilized folk to cave men."
Speaking of civility, when Sorenson isn't on stage, he's golfing, a life-long passion that's a genuine stress reducer for him. For the past four summers, he's been a golf instructor at the Junior Golf Institute in Brooklyn, near his New York home.
He also has a home in Phoenix - not just to be close to work and friends and fun, but also to be smack-dab in the middle of golf country.
While Sorenson takes his show business career seriously, one gets the feeling he'd be perfectly content to spend the rest of his life on the links. Having a life outside of theater helps Sorenson keep a practical perspective on the ups and downs of life in show business.
"The secret to my success? First, it's perseverance. Secondly, it's a complete lack of cynicism. When you start being cynical because you can't get work, you're digging yourself into a hole. I refuse to do that."

Biological versus chronological ovarian age: implications for assisted reproductive technology

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology 2009, 7:101 doi:10.1186/1477-7827-7-101Published: 22 September 2009
Women have been able to delay childbearing since effective contraception became available in the 1960s. However, fertility decreases with increasing maternal age. A slow but steady decrease in fertility is observed in women aged between 30 and 35 years, which is followed by an accelerated decline among women aged over 35 years. A combination of delayed childbearing and reduced fecundity with increasing age has resulted in an increased number and proportion of women of greater than or equal to 35 years of age seeking assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment.
Literature searches supplemented with the authors' knowledge.
Despite major advances in medical technology, there is currently no ART treatment strategy that can fully compensate for the natural decline in fertility with increasing female age. Although chronological age is the most important predictor of ovarian response to follicle-stimulating hormone, the rate of reproductive ageing and ovarian sensitivity to gonadotrophins varies considerably among individuals. Both environmental and genetic factors contribute to depletion of the ovarian oocyte pool and reduction in oocyte quality. Thus, biological and chronological ovarian age are not always equivalent. Furthermore, biological age is more important than chronological age in predicting the outcome of ART. As older patients present increasingly for ART treatment, it will become more important to critically assess prognosis, counsel appropriately and optimize treatment strategies. Several genetic markers and biomarkers (such as anti-Müllerian hormone and the antral follicle count) are emerging that can identify women with accelerated biological ovarian ageing. Potential strategies for improving ovarian response include the use of luteinizing hormone (LH) and growth hormone (GH). When endogenous LH levels are heavily suppressed by gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogues, LH supplementation may help to optimize treatment outcomes for women with biologically older ovaries. Exogenous GH may improve oocyte development and counteract the age-related decline of oocyte quality. The effects of GH may be mediated by insulin-like growth factor-I, which works synergistically with follicle-stimulating hormone on granulosa and theca cells.
Patients with biologically older ovaries may benefit from a tailored approach based on individual patient characteristics. Among the most promising adjuvant therapies for improving ART outcomes in women of advanced reproductive age are the administration of exogenous LH or GH.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Authorities have identified a 26-year-old worker who died after falling at a construction site in Summerlin.
Clark County coroner's officials say Henderson resident Mark Brian Lovett died at the scene of the fall a little before 9 a.m. Tuesday. His exact cause of death hasn't yet been released.
Las Vegas police Officer Lawrence Hadfield says the fall happened at the 10000 block of Summerlin Centre Drive, near the Red Rock casino.
Officials with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration say an inspector was dispatched to the site, and the agency is investigating.
Officials at the Howard Hughes Corp., which is developing the site into a shopping center, issued a statement saying they were deeply saddened by Lovett's death and are dedicated to worker safety.

Interesting, you have improved dramatically since I last reviewed a piece of yours. I don't think I could do skin as well as you now, it looks superb. Having said that there are a couple of things that stand out to me.
The eyes, I get that you were clearly trying to make them different so have stylized them in the way you have but I think that it just hasn't worked as well as it could have. Maybe if you had made them seem more like spray paint that could have worked.
Another thing that I would have changed is the background. The textured effect is a little too much for my taste, if the texture was but onto a separate layer on say Photoshop, then the opacity turned down or even a gradient effect put on it so it fades out from the center to highlight the stripes it could have looked better.
There are great bits about this piece, one of your best. Heading in the right direction, keep it up.

I love it, but the right eye makes it not look angry but rather confused, and I take it that wasn't your intention?
PS: The background is looking awesome, keep it up!

wow man.. this is amazing... Love the coloring bro. Keep them coming!

(AP) Police in North Carolina say a woman hunting rats on her property caused a scare at a neighboring public school. The Times-News of Hendersonville reported Friday that a bus driver saw the woman and officials thought she was an armed student on school property.
So they kept students and staff inside the Balfour Education Center for about an hour until police determined she wasn't a threat.
Authorities say the woman wasn't on school property, wasn't doing anything wrong and had a rifle to shoot rats. She wasn't identified.
Sheriff Rick Davis says a call to authorities about the woman was properly handled.

|The neurophysiological effects of a single session of spinal joint mobilization: does the effect last?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22851877 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|Studies detailing the neurophysiological effects of spinal manual therapy have fueled a paradigm shift away from a strict biomechanical model. However, a recent systematic review of the temporal nature of a single session of spinal thrust manipulation found that the neurophysiological effects were only temporary. The objective of this review was to examine the temporal nature of neurophysiological effects after one session of spinal mobilization. Studies eligible for this review had to report on the temporal component of the neurophysiological effects of a single session of joint mobilization of the spine in human subjects. In order to be sure that the temporal nature of these effects was captured, the studies had to monitor neurophysiological effects for a time beyond the immediate post-treatment period. This systematic review followed the methodology for preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. In order to assess the quality, strength, and importance of the included studies, the grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation system was used. Results of this review showed that the neurophysiological effects of a single session of spinal mobilization are mostly 5 minutes or less. An exception to these findings is hypoalgesia which may last up to 24 hours, based on one study. Continued research on small samples of healthy subjects with irrelevant immediate outcomes like salivary rate, skin conductance, and skin temperature should give way to randomized controlled trials on subjects with pain and decreased function.

Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) is calling for a national approach to the environmental management of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) in Canada.
In a submission to the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, ARC notes that although ELV processors are subject to a number of provincial and federal requirements, ELV management practices are highly variable.
"The lack of common processing standards for ELVs is significant," the ARC submission states. "While used parts and scrap metal values are driving high recycling rates, ELVs also include a number of substances of concerns that incur costs when properly removed.
