GREENVILLE, N.C. - The final contest of the East Carolina softball team's three-game set at UAB on March 17 will be televised live on the FOX Sports Network (FSN), according to an announcement by Conference USA officials. The contest will begin at 12 p.m. ET inside the UAB Softball Field.
The game will be ECU's fourth television appearance in as many seasons as the Conference USA Championship victories in 2010 and 2011 were broadcasted on the CBS Sports Network and the program had a regular season game at Houston shown on FSN last season. CBS Sports Network will also televise the 2013 C-USA Championship game on May 11 at 2 p.m. ET in Tulsa, Okla. inside the Collins Family Softball Complex.
ECU is one of six conference schools featured in the softball package this season along with UAB, UCF, Tulsa, Marshall and Houston.
East Carolina (5-3) hosts its final tournament of the 2013 season this weekend when it welcomes in Fairfield, Lehigh, Liberty and Notre Dame for the Pirate Invitational from Feb. 22-24 at ECU Softball Stadium. The Pirates begin play at the event on Friday with Lehigh at 2:30 p.m. and follow with a contest against Fairfield at 4:30 p.m. On Saturday, ECU takes on Lehigh again at 3:30 p.m. and Notre Dame at 5:30 p.m. Finishing the weekend and the long home stand to start the season for the Pirates is a 1 p.m. tilt against Liberty on Sunday.

This is Python release 1.2 ========================== What's new in this release? --------------------------- This version provides new functionality as well as bug fixes, lots of new documentation, and quite a few new library modules. Everyone should upgrade. For a full list of what's new and changed, see Misc/NEWS. What is Python anyway? ---------------------- Python is an interpreted object-oriented programming language, and is often compared to Tcl, Perl or Scheme. For a quick summary of what Python can mean for a UNIX/C programmer, read Misc/BLURB.LUTZ. If you don't read instructions ------------------------------ Congratulations on getting this far. :-) To start building right away (on UNIX): type "./configure" in the current directory and when it finishes, type "make". The section Build Instructions below is still recommended reading. :-) Copyright issues ---------------- Python is COPYRIGHTED but free to use for all. See the full copyright notice at the end of this file. The Python distribution is *not* affected by the GNU Public Licence (GPL). There are interfaces to some GNU code but these are entirely optional and no GNU code is distributed with Python. For all these packages, GPL-free public domain versions also exist. Build instructions ================== Before you start building Python, you must first configure it. This entails (at least) running the script "./configure", which figures out your system configuration and creates several Makefiles. (It takes a minute or two -- please be patient!) When it's done, you are ready to run make. Typing "make" in the toplevel directory will recursively run make in each of the subdirectories Parser, Objects, Python and Modules, creating a library file in each one. The executable of the interpreter is built in the Modules subdirectory and moved up here when it is built. If you want or need to, you can also chdir into each subdirectory in turn and run make there manually (do the Modules subdirectory last!). NOTE: if you rerun the configure script with different options, remove all object files by running "make clean" before rebuilding. Believe it or not, "make clean" sometimes helps to clean up other inexplicable problems as well. Try it before sending in a bug report! Troubleshooting --------------- If you run into trouble, see section 3 of the FAQ (file Misc/FAQ) for hints on what can go wrong, and how to fix it. Platform specific notes ----------------------- Linux: It is possible that "makesetup" fails with an obscure sed error. This is a bug in bash. Replace /bin/sh with /bin/ash in both makesetup and Makefile.pre.in. This has been observed in Slackware version 2.2, bash 1.14.3; Slackware 2.1 did not have the problem. AIX: Read the file Misc/AIX-NOTES before trying to build. HP-UX: Read the file Misc/HPUX-NOTES if you want to be able to use shared libraries for dynamically loaded modules. Minix: When using ack, use "CC=cc AR=aal RANLIB=: ./configure"! SCO: 1) Everything works much better if you add -U__STDC__ to the defs. This is because all the SCO header files are broken. Anything that isn't mentioned in the C standard it's conditionally excluded when __STDC__ is defined. 2) Due to the U.S. export restrictions, SCO broke the crypt stuff out into a separate library, libcrypt_i.a so the LIBS needed be set to: LIBS=' -lsocket -lcrypt_i' Configuring the set of built-in modules --------------------------------------- You can configure the interpreter to contain fewer or more built-in modules by editing the file Modules/Setup. This file is initially copied (when the toplevel Makefile makes Modules/Makefile for the first time) from Setup.in; if it does not exist yet, make a copy yourself. Never edit Setup.in -- always edit Setup. Read the comments in the file for information on what kind of edits you can make. When you have edited Setup, Makefile and config.c in Modules will automatically be rebuilt the next time you run make in the toplevel directory. Especially on SGI IRIX, there are modules that interface to many SGI specific system libraries, e.g. the GL library and the audio hardware. Setting the optimization/debugging options ------------------------------------------ If you want to change the optimization/debugging options for the C compiler, assign to the OPT variable on the toplevel make command; e.g. "make OPT=-g" will build a debugging version of Python on most platforms. The default is OPT=-O; a value for OPT in the environment when the configure script is run overrides this default (likewise for CC; and the initial value for LIBS is used as the base set of libraries to link with). Testing ------- To test the interpreter that you have just built, type "make test". This runs the test set silently, twice (once with no compiled files, once with the compiled files left by the previous test run). Each test run should print "All tests OK." and nothing more. (The test set does not test the built-in modules, but will find most other problems with the interpreter.) IMPORTANT: If the tests fail and you decide to mail a bug report, *don't* include the output of "make test". It is useless. Run the following command instead: PYTHONPATH=../Lib:../Lib/test:./Modules ./python -c 'import testall' (substituting the top of the source tree for .. if you built in a different directory). This gives the output of the tests and shows which test failed. Installing ---------- To install the interpreter as /usr/local/bin/python, type "make install". To install the library as /usr/local/lib/python, type "make libinstall". To install the manual page as /usr/local/man/man1/python.1, type "make maninstall". To install the Emacs editing mode for python, manually copy the file Misc/python-mode.el to your local Emacs lisp directory. The directory /usr/local can be overridden at configuration time by passing --prefix=DIRECTORY to the configure script, or at make time by passing "prefix=DIRECTORY" to make. See below for more information on --prefix. If you plan to do development of extension modules or to embed Python in another application and don't want to reference the original source tree, you can type "make inclinstall" and "make libainstall" to install the include files and lib*.a files, respectively, as /usr/local/include/Py/*.h and /usr/local/lib/python/lib/lib*.a. The make libainstall target also installs copies of several other files used or produced during the build process which are needed to build extensions or to generate their Makefiles. Configuration options and variables ----------------------------------- Some special cases are handled by passing environment variables or options to the configure script. NOTE: if you rerun the configure script with different options, remove all object files by running "make clean" before rebuilding. --with(out)-gcc: The configure script uses gcc (the GNU C compiler) if it finds it. If you don't want this, or if this compiler is installed but broken on your platform, pass the option --without-gcc. You can also pass "CC=cc" (or whatever the name of the proper C compiler is) in the environment, but the advantage of using --without-gcc is that this option is remembered by the config.status script for its --recheck option. --prefix, --exec-prefix: If you want to install the binaries and the Python library somewhere else than in /usr/local/{bin,lib}, you can pass the option --prefix=DIRECTORY; the interpreter binary will be installed as DIRECTORY/bin/python and the library files as DIRECTORY/lib/python/*. If you pass --exec-prefix=DIRECTORY (as well) this overrides the installation prefix for architecture-dependent files (like the interpreter binary). Note that --prefix=DIRECTORY also affects the default module search path (sys.path), when Modules/config.c is compiled. Passing make the option prefix=DIRECTORY (and/or exec_prefix=DIRECTORY) overrides the prefix set at configuration time; this may be more convenient than re-running the configure script if you change your mind about the install prefix... --with-readline: You can use the GNU readline library to improve the interactive user interface: this gives you line editing and command history when calling python interactively. You need to configure build the GNU readline library before running the configure script. Its sources are not distributed with Python; you can ftp them from any GNU mirror site, or from its home site: <URL:ftp://slc2.ins.cwru.edu/pub/dist/readline-2.0.tar.gz> (or a higher version number -- using version 1.x is not recommended). A GPL-free version was posted to comp.sources.misc in volume 31 and is widely available from FTP archive sites, e.g. <URL:ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/.b/usenet/comp.sources.misc/ volume31/editline/part01.Z> Pass the Python configure script the option --with-readline=DIRECTORY where DIRECTORY is the absolute pathname of the directory where you've built the readline library. Some hints on building and using the readline library are in the FAQ (file Misc/FAQ). --with-thread: On SGI IRIX, and on Sun SOLARIS 2, you can use multiple threads. To enable this, pass --with-thread. In the Modules/Setup file, enable the thread module. (Threads aren't enabled automatically because there are run-time penalties when support for them is compiled in even if you don't use them.) --with-sgi-dl: On SGI IRIX 4, dynamic loading of extension modules is supported by the "dl" library by Jack Jansen, which is ftp'able from <URL:ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/dynload/dl-1.6.tar.Z>. This is enabled (after you've ftp'ed and compiled the dl library!) by passing --with-sgi-dl=DIRECTORY where DIRECTORY is the absolute pathname of the dl library. (Don't bother on IRIX 5, it already has dynamic linking using SunOS style shared libraries.) Support for this feature is deprecated. --with-dl-dld: Dynamic loading of modules is rumoured to be supported on some other systems: VAX (Ultrix), Sun3 (SunOS 3.4), Sequent Symmetry (Dynix), and Atari ST. This is done using a combination of the GNU dynamic loading package (<URL:ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/dynload/dl-dld-1.1.tar.Z>) and an emulation of the SGI dl library mentioned above (the emulation can be found at <URL:ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/dynload/dld-3.2.3.tar.Z>). To enable this, ftp and compile both libraries, then call the configure passing it the option --with-dl-dld=DL_DIRECTORY,DLD_DIRECTORY where DL_DIRECTORY is the absolute pathname of the dl emulation library and DLD_DIRECTORY is the absolute pathname of the GNU dld library. (Don't bother on SunOS 4 or 5, they already have dynamic linking using shared libraries.) Support for this feature is deprecated. --with-libm, --with-libc: It is possible to specify alternative versions for the Math library (default -lm) and the C library (default the empty string) using the options --with-libm=STRING and --with-libc=STRING, respectively. E.g. if your system requires that you pass -lc_s to the C compiler to use the shared C library, you can pass --with-libc=-lc_s. These libraries are passed after all other libraries, the C library last. Extensions ---------- You can also build an "extended" interpreter, using modules that are not contained in the Modules directory. Extensions are distributed as a separate tar file (currently extensions.tar.gz). See the README file there. Building for multiple architectures (using the VPATH feature) ------------------------------------------------------------- If your file system is shared between multiple architectures, it usually is not necessary to make copies of the sources for each architecture you want to support. If the make program supports the VPATH feature, you can create an empty build directory for each architecture, and in each directory run the configure script (on the appropriate machine with the appropriate options). This creates the necessary subdirectories and the Makefiles therein. The Makefiles contain a line VPATH=... which points to directory containing the actual sources. (On SGI systems, use "smake" instead of "make" if you use VPATH -- don't try gnumake.) For example, the following is all you need to build a minimal Python in /usr/tmp/python (assuming ~guido/src/python is the toplevel directory and you want to build in /usr/tmp/python): $ mkdir /usr/tmp/python $ cd /usr/tmp/python $ ~guido/src/python/configure [...] $ make [...] $ Note that Modules/Makefile copies the original Setup file to the build directory if it finds no Setup file there. This means that you can edit the Setup file for each architecture independently. For this reason, subsequent changes to the original Setup file are not tracked automatically, as they might overwrite local changes. To force a copy of a changed original Setup file, delete the target Setup file. (The makesetup script supports multiple input files, so if you want to be fancy you can change the rules to create an empty Setup.local if it doesn't exist and run it with arguments $(srcdir)/Setup Setup.local; however this assumes that you only need to add modules.) Building on non-UNIX systems ---------------------------- On non-UNIX systems, you will have to fake the effect of running the configure script manually. A good start is to copy the file config.h.in to config.h and edit the latter to reflect the actual configuration of your system. Most symbols must simply be defined as 1 only if the corresponding feature is present and can be left alone otherwise; however RETSIGTYPE must always be defined, either as int or as void, and the *_t type symbols must be defined as some variant of int if they need to be defined at all. Then arrange that the symbol HAVE_CONFIG_H is defined during compilation (usually by passing an argument of the form `-DHAVE_CONFIG_H' to the compiler, but this is necessarily system-dependent). I have tried to collect instructions, Makefiles and additional sources for various platforms in this release. The following directories exist: Mac/ Apple Macintosh, using THINK C 6.0 or MPW 3.2. Dos/ MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, using Microsoft C. Nt/ Windows NT, using Microsoft Visual C/C++. Os2/ OS/2. Most of these instructions were last tested with a previous Python release, so you may still experience occasional problems. If you have fixes or suggestions, please let me know and I'll try to incorporate them in the next release. Miscellaneous issues ==================== Documentation ------------- All documentation is provided in the subdirectory Doc in the form of LaTeX files. In order of importance for new users: Tutorial (tut), Library Reference (lib), Language Reference (ref), Extending (ext). Especially the Library Reference is of immense value since much of Python's power (including the built-in data types and functions!) is described here. To print the documentation from the LaTeX files, chdir into the Doc subdirectory, type "make" (let's hope you have LaTeX installed!), and send the four resulting PostScript files (tut.ps, lib.ps, ref.ps, and ext.ps) to the printer. See the README file there. All documentation is also available on-line via the World-Wide Web (WWW): <URL:http://www.cwi.nl/~guido/Python.html>. It can also be downloaded separately from the ftp archives (see below) in Emacs INFO, HTML or PostScript form -- see the FAQ (file Misc/FAQ) for more info. Emacs mode ---------- There's an excellent Emacs editing mode for Python code; see the file Misc/python-mode.el. Originally written by Tim Peters, who's no longer on the net, it is now maintained by Barry Warsaw <firstname.lastname@example.com>. Bug reports ----------- Bugs are best reported to the comp.lang.python newsgroup or the Python mailing list -- see the section "Newsgroup and mailing list" below. Before posting, read the FAQ (file Misc/FAQ) first to see if your problem has already been answered! Ftp access ---------- Python's "home ftp site" is ftp.cwi.nl, directory pub/python. See the FAQ (file Misc/FAQ) for a list of other ftp sites carrying the Python distribution. Newsgroup and mailing list -------------------------- There are a newsgroup and a mailing list devoted to Python programming, design and bugs. The newsgroup, comp.lang.python, contains exactly the same messages as the mailing list. To subscribe to the mailing list, send mail containing your real name and e-mail address to "firstname.lastname@example.com" (a real person reads these messages, so no LISTPROC or Majordomo commands, please). The Tk interface ---------------- Tk (the user interface component of John Ousterhout's Tcl language) is also usable from Python. Since this requires that you first build and install Tcl/Tk, the Tk interface is not enabled by default. It requires Tcl 7.3 and Tk 3.6. It doesn't work yet with Tk 4.0-beta! (Actually, the C code does, but the Tkinter.py module hasn't been adapted yet.) For more info about Tk, including pointers to the source, see John Ousterhout's home page at <URL:http://playground.sun.com/~ouster/>. To enable the Python/Tk interface, once you've built and installed Tcl/Tk, all you need to do is edit two lines in Modules/Setup; search for the string "tkinter". Un-comment one (normally the first) of the lines beginning with "#tkinter" and un-comment the line beginning with "#TKPATH". (If you have installed Tcl/Tk in unusual places you will have to edit the first line as well to fix the -I and -L options.) See the Build Instructions above for more details. There is little documentation. Begin with fetching the "Tk Lifesaver" document, e.g. <URL:ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/python/tkinter-doc.tar.gz> (a gzipped tar file containing a PostScript file). There are demos in the Demo/tkinter directory, in the subdirectories guido, matt and www. Note that there's a Python module called "Tkinter" (capital T) which lives in Lib/tkinter/Tkinter.py, and a C module called "tkinter" (lower case t) which lives in Modules/tkintermodule.c. Demos and normal Tk applications only import the Python Tkinter module -- only the latter uses the C tkinter module directly. In order to find the C tkinter module, it must be compiled and linked into the Python interpreter -- the tkinter line in the Setup file does this. In order to find the Python Tkinter module, sys.path must be set correctly -- the TKPATH assignment in the Setup file takes care of this, but only if you install Python properly ("make install libinstall"). (You can also use dynamic loading for the C tkinter module, in which case you must manually fix up sys.path or set $PYTHONPATH for the Python Tkinter module.) Distribution structure ---------------------- Most subdirectories have their own README file. Most files have comments.

"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
Remember that?
It was the core of the wisdom that NRA vice president Wayne LaPierre emitted from his remarkably flaccid orifice at his notorious press conference following the savage slaughter of the innocents at Sandy Hook school in 2012. "N.R.A. Envisions 'a Good Guy With a Gun' in Every School," The New York Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/22/us/nra-calls-for-armed-guards-at-schools.html?_r=0.
This is the gospel of the concealed carry licensing school. It teaches that more guns–not less–will solve America's beyond evident gun violence problem. See, if a "bad guy" starts something evil, well, a "good guy" will just stop him. Problem solved.
Only most Americans understand that the problem of gun violence is the guns themselves. More precisely, it is the shameful failure of our moral, political and civic will to directly engage and staunch the flood of guns in America that has created our modern Noahide law of senseless violence. It tortures our soul.
In your heart, you know, I know, and the American people know that more guns really means just another foot or so of steel, more burning lead, more shocking death, more horrifying, suppurating wounds, more mutilated children cut down as toddlers, more grieving families, more hospital stench, and more funerals. Send out as many doves as you please, they will come back without hope so long as "more guns" is the answer.
The nation was properly shocked at LaPierre's solution. The "gun safety and/or gun violence reduction and/or common sense gun laws" movement also effected to be shocked.
A substantial amount of argumentation ensued over the fine point of whether any armed citizen — other than a law enforcement officer or armed security guard — had ever stopped a mass shooting.
Well, well. This Sunday past in Las Vegas, America finally got an unequivocal, clear-cut, wonderfully shining moment of a "a good guy with a gun"–and his predictably tragic and fatal failure. After Jerad and Amanda Miller murdered two police officers, they scuttled over to a nearby Wal-Mart –not incidentally well known as one of America's great gun emporiums. Here, in sad brief, is what happened:
Joseph Wilcox, 31, standing in line and armed with a concealed weapon, sees them and tells a friend he is going to confront them. He moves toward Jerad Miller, not realizing Amanda Miller is with him. As he starts to confront the man, Amanda Miller shoots him in the ribs. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/06/09/police-give-details-on-timeline-shootings-las-vegas-officers-wal-mart-shopper/
This is only one of a number of tactical problems known to infest the concealed carry issue: failure to properly integrate the tactical environment under stress. Sometimes, even among trained law enforcement officers, the same "fog of combat" results in one good guy shooting another good guy.
In any case, one would have expected — I most certainly did — that the "gun violence please go away" groups would have reacted en masse and forcefully to this incident, slamming a concrete and steel vault over the idea that concealed carry actually works. Case closed.
Instead, nothing. Not a word. Not a single mewl from the contented cattykins, nozzled snugly onto the copious teats of the two great mothers of all funding, Their Royal Tabbies Missy Joyce and Mister Mike.
Literally, the sounds of silence. Okay, maybe a little sucking noise.
I will explain precisely why this passive anemia has infected what was once a feisty movement shortly.
But let us first go to the record and see what actually has belched forth from the "movement" (as of the time of this writing).
The feckless direct-mail fund-raising group Brady For Something or Other posted a limp paragraph, "Brady's Reaction to the Las Vegas Shooting":
BREAKING — Another day, another tragic mass shooting in our nation. First and foremost our thoughts are with the victims and their families who have now joined the ranks of the hundreds of thousands of families directly impacted by gun violence every year. This nation has had three mass shootings in two weeks. Each day 90 Americans are killed by bullets. Today, two of those victims were police officers who too often find themselves in the line of fire, but today were just eating lunch at a pizza restaurant. This problem persists because of the influence of the corporate gun lobby and the irresponsible politicians who do its bidding. We know solutions to the problem exist, solutions that are supported by the overwhelming majority of Americans. We at Brady will not rest until we make this the safer nation we all want it to be. http://www.bradycampaign.org/bradys-reaction-to-the-las-vegas-shooting.
In short, cornets, teddy bears, and pabulum. Tell us something we didn't know, please. Tell us something forceful to actually do!
The Violence Policy Center [full disclosure: a place where I labored for many years] freshened up and re-issued a report on the NRA's violent rhetoric:
The Consequences of the NRA's Violent Rhetoric–One of the NRA's greatest successes has been its ability to create a disconnect between the potential for violence fostered by its words and the actual acts of violence committed by "lone wolves" and others facilitated by the organization's validating rhetoric. http://www.vpc.org/index.htm.
This is a retread of a report that VPC originally issued in April 2010: "Lessons Unlearned: The Gun Lobby and the Siren Song of Anti-Government Rhetoric." [That report has been taken down from the VPC website, but see cover at right]. See also, "NRA Once Again Embracing Anti-Government Rhetoric," PR Newswire, April 15, 2010.
Former Mayor and Still Billionaire Activist Against Super Sized Drinks Big Mike Bloomberg's group–named either "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" or "Everytown" (which might also be an HBO original series) issued a deeply profound "Statement on Las Vegas Shooting" by the Mayor of Everytown:
"Once again random gun violence has struck our communities in the places we eat and shop — our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the three individuals who were killed today," said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. "We are still learning all of the details of what happened in Las Vegas, but we are particularly saddened that two of the people targeted in today's shooting were law enforcement officers, the very people who serve and protect our communities. We also know that 39 percent fewer law enforcement officers are killed with handguns in states that require background checks on all handgun sales — which Nevada does not require. This event reminds us that gun violence can happen anywhere at anytime — and this is precisely why we are asking our political leaders to take action so that 'not one more' police officer, innocent bystander or even student on their way to class will be added to the daily toll of gun violence in America. http://everytown.org/press/everytown-for-gun-safety-statement-on-las-vegas-shootings/.
Playing the "law enforcement card" is part of the "message" that the Gun Safety and Other Good Things Nubbins agreed upon during their "strategy" mass conference call. It's like being for apple pie. The only problem is that it has never worked before and it won't work now. Cops [see "Police, Fraternal Order of"] generally dislike gun control, and tend to blame such shootings on what everyone who is not a cop is known as in private, to wit, "assholes." But…oh, well.
"Moms Demand Action"remains focused on its campaign to obliviate open carry demonstrations in big chain retail stores. Target is the target du jour.
Semi-automatic assault rifles don't belong in the baby aisle—or anywhere else in Target. Yet gun extremists around the country have made it a point to bring their rifles into Target stores. Moms don't want to feel unsafe and intimidated when we go shopping with our children. We're asking Target to immediately end open carry in its stores. Target needs to follow in the footsteps of Starbucks, Chipotle, Chili's, Sonic and Jack in the Box and put customer safety first. Nearly 90% of Target customers are women; they need to know we expect them to get gun sense. http://www.momsdemandaction.org/.
God bless 'em, nothing wrong with this grass roots awareness campaigning, so go get 'em, moms. Only a cranky cynic would note that to present knowledge, the open carry people have not actually shot anyone. But…oh, never mind. It's about negative branding.
Okay, now: why the studied silence on concealed carry from the Milling Groups Against Anything But Guns?
It puzzled me until I remembered an op-ed from last year written by two men well known behind the scenes–attorney and former gun industry lobbyist Richard Feldman (http://www.independentfirearmowners.org/2013/node/3) and the man generally recognized as the brains behind Bloomberg's "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" (now possibly named "Everytown"), Arkadi Gerney, now gun guru in residence at the Center for American Progress. http://americanprogress.org/about/staff/gerney-arkadi/bio/. The two proposed a "grand bargain" on guns, sort of like the sale of Alaska, the Louisiana Purchase, or the Brooklyn Bridge.
Here is the intriguing part:
…[S]trongly held positions suggest potential for crafting a grander bargain on guns, a new set of policies that would be premised on two complementary goals: protecting the rights of responsible, law-abiding gun owners and gun sellers, while giving law enforcement better tools to deter and prosecute criminal access to guns.
So, let's address all these concerns and come up with a system that requires checks for all gun sales but exempts transfers among family members, temporary transfers and a small set of other transactions. And let's devise a uniform set of intelligent standards, including training and clean criminal records, for a national concealed-carry system. Richard Feldman and Arkadi Gerney, "A grand bargain on guns? Here's how: Advocates of stricter laws and gun owners could come together on some basic reforms," Los Angeles Times, December 15, 2013, http://articles.latimes.com/2013/dec/15/opinion/la-oe-feldman-gun-control-bargain-20131215.
Wow! This is major. A nation has lifted its lonely eyes to Tabbies Joyce and Mike, and those clever cats have given up and bought into a national concealed carry law! Now, that is American Progress!
Get your gun and start packing folks, if you truly want to stop the carnage. The NRA message trumps all.
Don't expect a contrary message.
If there is one thing all those little foundation baby kitties know, it's to "stay on message" and "get with the program." Purrrrrrring. Purrrrrring.
My serious suggestion is: invest in teddy bears, candle stores, and flower stands. They are going to be a booming business in the "common sense gun safety" world.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I did a bit of back-of-the-envelope trigonometry and decided that if the bridge was about a hundred feet from the camera, then the back waterfall (at the base) would be about a hundred and fifty feet from the bridge. I did an overhead layout to rough out where the waters will pool and flow, and where the shores (as yet unseen) will be. Then I did an isometric transformation on the overhead elements, squishing the vertical by 57.7% while keeping the horizontal the same. I took the various layers and separated them by height.
Finally, I took that isometric composite and used it as a faint overlay in ProCreate on the iPad while I sketched the inks down on top of it. That results in the progress you see here:

A former police officer died in a crash Wednesday morning, just five miles from his home in Hertford County.
The Highway Patrol says Michael Fedock was traveling east on Wiccacon Road around 8:00 a.m. They say for some reason he went off the road, over-corrected, and his pickup truck flipped on its side and slid into a tree.
No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
The 35-year-old Fedock was a former police officer in Ahoskie.

A few of you wanted to know if you could open/close threads, and in order to do this you will need to be added to a specific Forum section.
For the rest who are fine with being Mods just to help post around the Forum you don't need to be assigned a specific section as it isn't necessary to be a Moderator here.
The only section we really don't need Moderators to open/close threads in is the Help section, because threads there will automatically close when an answer is selected by the OP or chosen by an Admin. Having Moderators close threads there before the OP is satisfied with an answer would only cause more issues hehe.
That said... if anyone listed above wishes to Moderate a specific Forum section with the ability to open/close threads feel free to reply below and we will add you to that section soon!

MCSO: Theft suspect says, 'I've got a big bag of marijuana'
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 10:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 5:14 p.m.
Two cans of sardines led to the arrest of a homeless man who deputies say was carrying multiple baggies of marijuana.
Robert Lee Mitchell, 48, had been detained at the Sweet Bay grocery at 7131 N. U.S. 441. Officials said he concealed two cans of sardines worth $1.98.
A sheriff's deputy arrived on scene, and Mitchell told him he was homeless and living in a camp near State Road 326 and Interstate 75, according to a Marion County Sheriff's Office news release.
Despite the alleged theft, Mitchell told the deputy he had $2,700 in cash and a food stamp card with money on it, according to the Sheriff's Office. He emptied his pockets, removing the money, a pocket knife and a plastic bag of coins.
The deputy asked Mitchell if he had anything else and, according to the Sheriff's Office, the suspect asked if he was in fact being arrested.
The deputy said yes. According to the news release, then Mitchell told him, "I've got a big bag of marijuana," and pulled a gallon-size freezer bag full of smaller baggies of pot out of a pants pocket.
He was charged with retail theft and felony marijuana possession.

Spherical tourbillon:
A key feature of the Gyrotourbilon 2: the cylindrical balance-spring with end curves
The second version of the Gyrotourbillon is distinguished by an essential organ: the presence of a cylinder-shaped balance-spring with end curves. This component was invented by English watchmaker John Arnold, who had it patented in 1782. Due to the complexity involved in its production and the difficulties implied by attempts to miniaturise it, this ingenious discovery which guarantees a regular and perfectly isochronous development of the balance-spring was reserved exclusively for marine chronometers and a few generously sized pocket-watches. Innovative watchmakers chafed at this regrettable situation, since its rating characteristics are unanimously considered to be infinitely better than those of a flat balance-spring.
The engineers and watchmakers of the Manufacture proved able to grasp the opportunity represented by the spherical tourbillon and to present a cylindrical balance-spring nestling at the heart of a wristwatch. Combined with the specific advantages of the spherical tourbillon, this innovation represents a breakthrough in the field of accuracy and paves the way for a level of rating precision that is simply unprecedented on a timepiece designed to follow its wearer's arm movements.

ATLANTA -- When President Obama won re-election Tuesday, it appeared to shut down any GOP hopes that the government might repeal his landmark health care law -- the measure widely known as Obamacare.
Under the law, state governments like Georgia have until November 16th to notify the feds that they would operate state-run exchanges, to help individuals buy government-required health insurance. But Governor Nathan Deal says Georgia probably won't.
"We've pretty well indicated that we don't like the way that the program has evolved. It started out (that) the states were given some real options to how we designed our state exchanges. Those options have been pretty well removed by regulation over the last year and a half," Deal said Thursday.
Deal, like most Republicans, opposed the Affordable Health Care Act, which the president signed into law in 2010. If Georgia declines to create an exchange, the federal government will do it instead. Cindy Zeldin runs a health advocacy agency called Georgians for a Healthy Future. She served on committee appointed by Deal to weigh in on the proposed state exchange.
"It is a little bit of a missed opportunity," Zeldin said. She disagreed with the committee's recommendation to wait to see if the Supreme Court outlawed Obamacare before creating an exchange. The court upheld most of the health care law.
With an exchange, she says, "the state could be a little bit closer to its own consumers, it's a little bit closer to its own insurance market. If consumers have questions or complaints, it might be better to have that exchange here. But having said that, it's not like we won't have one at all." Zeldin says 1.9 million Georgians don't have health insurance.
Deal says he won't officially decide until the November 16 deadline. He says he's hoping the feds change some of the details that, he says, might make a state exchange more palatable. "There's always the possibility that they may decide they're going to liberalize the flexibility that states would be granted under an exchange. I have seen no evidence of that at this point," Deal said.
The bigger picture, Zeldin says, is that other states are moving forward to use the tools that are available under Obamacare. She believes Deal's reluctance to form a state exchange is rooted in his lingering opposition to Obamacare, which she called "unfortunate," especially given Tuesday's election results.

Suburban Philadelphia resident Walter Czerviski is now 91 years old. He received several belated honors at a ceremony Friday, including the World War II Victory Medal and Combat Action ribbon.
Czerviski served aboard vessels in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. When he was discharged from the Navy, he was given a card listing the awards he earned—but he never received them.
Cverviski's wife Jackie recently began pursuing the matter with local lawmakers. Eventually, Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey was able to obtain the medals.
The Intelligencer of Doylestown reports (http://bit.ly/121FQDy) a short but emotional ceremony was held at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Willow Grove.

IMD, International Institute for Management Development in Lausanne, Switzerland initiates new green initiatives including a carbon offsetting program.
Lausanne, Switzerland, 23 January 2007 – With its Forum for Corporate Sustainability Management (CSM) IMD has a long history of supporting ecologically and socially sustainable initiatives among partners in its Learning Network. According to Peter Lorange, President, IMD itself should however take the lead in ecologically sound behavior on its own campus too.
In 2007, IMD will invest Sfr.3 million in a more sustainable cooling system which will reduce the school's use of fossil fuels and thus its carbon emissions. In addition, IMD will "offset" its carbon emissions - primarily from travel and use of electricity and natural gas on campus - by an annual donation to the Carbonfund.org Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports climate-friendly projects. Carbonfund.org promotes climate change education, carbon offsets and green power, and it supports efforts by individuals and businesses to reduce the threat of climate change. In 2007, it will spend IMD's donation on a reforestation project in India and Nepal. Over 8000 trees will be planted, which will offset the 2700 tons of CO2 that IMD generates. In addition to reforestation, future targets for IMD's donations may include renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.
Peter Lorange, IMD President, comments:
"The environment is of great importance to IMD's learning partners, as it is for IMD itself. We want to demonstrate our commitment to reducing greenhouse gases by joining the carbon offset program run by Carbonfund.org. As far as we are aware, we are the first business school to take the decision to offset all of our carbon emissions. However, we know offsetting is not enough. We aim to further reduce our consumption of fossil fuels too. In 2007 we will be installing a cooling system that uses cold water from Lake Geneva (from a depth of 40 meters, where the temperature of the water is constant at 7°C all year long) to cool the buildings on our campus. This new system replaces a traditional system that operates on gas and CFCs. In addition, IMD's CSM forum will of course continue its research into corporate social responsibility, which includes supporting our partner companies in developing strategies and products that take the environment into account."
Michael Yaziji, IMD Professor of Strategy, adds:
"It is simply our responsibility to do all we can to reduce and neutralize our carbon footprint. Our clients look to us as a role model of organizations and good corporate governance. I hope our example will inspire our learning partners to follow suit."

Welcome to the group.
Using clouds for coatslines. I haven't thought about that for almost 25 years. I remember many a night/day as my family traveled back and forth across Canada on vacation and looking at the clouds thinking what cool D&D worlds they would make as coastlines.
That deserves some REP for bringing back fond memories.

Opposition MPs from Chadema and NCCR-Mageuzi yesterday walked out of the Parliamentary debating chamber in protest against the tabling of the Constitutional Review Bill, 2011.
The MPs walked out immediately after Shadow Minister for Justice and Constitutional affairs Tundu Lissu had read the opposition' views on the motion tabled by Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs Celina Kombani.
It was after about four MPs from the opposition stood up to seek Speaker's guidance but in vain that they decided to walk out leaving CUF, CCM and TLP to continue with the debate.
Speaking to journalists after the walk-out the Leader of Official Opposition in Parliament Freeman Mbowe said his MPs and those from NCCR-Mageuzi would not participate in the debate that is set to last until Thursday.
He said they would instead take the matter back to wananchi, adding that they would give details today. He accused the Speaker of siding with the government by suppressing opposition MPs and their views.
Earlier Lissu reading the opposition views asked Speaker Anne Makinda to suspend the session on the grounds that the Bill read for the second time in parliament did not follow proper procedures.
Explaining to reporters after walking out, Lissu said the Bill was not supposed to be tabled for the second time, considering the fact that a lot of changes had been made on it.
He said having made a lot of changes on the Bill tabled for the first time in April this year the document was not supposed to come for second reading, insisting that after such changes the document was required to go to wananchi for fresh scrutiny before giving their opinion.
When tabling the Bill Kombani told the House that the president of the United Republic of Tanzania will remain an icon of the process, saying there was no way members forming the Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) could be nominated by any other organ.
According to the minister, the president should not be viewed as head of the government; instead he should be viewed as head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.
Besides nominating members of the commission the task of drafting the terms of reference should also be left to the president. However, both tasks, according to the minister, should be done in consultation with the Zanzibar president.
She said such experience was not new, arguing that countries such as Kenya, Zambia and Ghana followed the same procedures while in Uganda the minister in charge of Constitutional and Justice Affairs was given the mandate to form the Constitutional Review Commission and the terms of reference.
After finalization of the opinion collection exercise the report compiled would be submitted to the president of the United Republic of Tanzania for further processes.
The minister stressed that the Bill tabled yesterday aimed at establishing the CRC that would engage in collecting public views only.
Meanwhile the Tanzania Retired Judges Association (TARJA) has advised against proceeding with a second, third reading and enactment of the Constitution Bill so as to work on the many key public issues which have not been addressed exhaustively.
TARJA issued a statement yesterday in Dar es Salaam listing some of the recommendations of the Association in trying to involve most Tanzanians in drawing up a new constitution.
"We need to have a unique commission that will be responsible for elections in the country," said retired Judge Hamisi Msumi.
