RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Legislation to require drug screening of welfare recipients has failed by one vote in the Virginia Senate.
All 20 Democrats voted against the measure Monday in the evenly divided Senate. Republican Sen. Harry Blevins of Virginia Beach did not vote, denying the GOP a 20th vote that would have allowed Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling to break the tie.
Last year, Bolling cast a tie-breaking vote in favor of similar legislation, which died in the House.
Sen. Bill Carrico's bill would have required an initial drug screening of applicants, followed by testing if officials suspected illegal drug use. Anyone testing positive could lose benefits for a year.
Supporters said the bill would ensure taxpayer money isn't supporting drug use. Opponents said it's unfair to single out poor people.

Charleston Daily Mail: Short takes, Nov. 10, 2012
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- THE Korean War has long been called, bitterly, the Forgotten War. That will not be the case at this year's Veterans Day parade in Charleston.
Organizers of this year's observance will take special note of next year's 60th anniversary of the ceasefire in 1953.
The parade is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. today on Kanawha Boulevard near Leon Sullivan Way.
The commanding officer of the USS West Virginia will be the grand marshal and featured speaker at the ceremony at Haddad Riverfront Park.
More than 112,000 West Virginians, men and women, served in the war that allowed South Korea to be so different from North Korea today.
Their service changed history for millions of people.
But freedom was not free. West Virginia families lost 801 loved ones, and 2,088 other service members came home wounded.
The Charleston Veterans Day parade will be one of 62 sites across the country honored by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Such recognition is deserved.
West Virginia does not forget its veterans. Volunteers have kept the parade going for 70 years.
IN Wheeling, voters were asked to repeal an ordinance that requires two police officers in each cruiser. Wheeling is the only city in America with such an ordinance.
The law hampers the city's ability to patrol the streets, said city manager Robert Herron. The city now has a minimum of six officers working per shift, meaning only three cruisers patrolling the streets.
On Tuesday, voters overwhelmingly backed the repeal. The unofficial count was 6,773 to 3,905. If the vote holds, the city will buy three more cruisers to increase patrols.
But the Wheeling Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 38 has sued to stop the repeal -- perhaps not a good idea. Judges are loath to overturn voters' decisions.
It's a shame that council members dumped the decision on voters, who already faced a long ballot in a presidential election year. Wheeling needs council members who will make tough decisions.
CHARLESTON Town Center Mall re-opened its sparkling new Center Court this week, capping a $7 million renovation of a strong downtown attraction.
Forest City Enterprises has installed new flooring and carpeting on all three levels, added two technology bars, and installed a new fountain. The decor is designed to reflect the state's natural beauty.
This reinvestment reflects strong confidence in Charleston's downtown, which remains a shopping destination.
The mall is part of a complex that includes hotels, the Civic Center and the federal and county courthouses. The mall enhances the city's ability to attract conventions, which help fill the hotels, which in turn helps the mall.
It adds up to a strong package.
This symbiotic relationship began three decades ago, and Forest City's reinvestment shows a willingness to continue that relationship for decades to come.
THE McDonald's in Follansbee became the center of post-election controversy when its flag flew upside down. After a photo appeared on Facebook, political activists assumed it was a protest against the re-election of President Obama.
Never assume anything.
"Unfortunately, a flag cable broke and during the process of trying the fix the flag, it was inadvertently turned upside down," said McDonalds' franchisee Karen Mezan in an e-mail.
"It wasn't noticed that the flag was upside down until a customer inquired about it. . . . It's important to note that this was an accident, not intentional."
The saying, "A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on," was never more true than in the age of the Internet.

De jure household members (usual residents)
Source of information
Head of household or other responsible household member
|First grade, but did not attend preschool
Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
For household members age 5 and above
Literal question
What is the highest grade (name) completed at this level?
Interviewer instructions
For each household member age five or older, ask ED2 and ED3. These questions ask about educational attainment for all household members in this age group. (If children younger than five attend school or pre-school, this information will be recorded in the Questionnaire for Children Under Five.) Any adult member of the household may provide this information for those not present. --- If the person has been to school, record the highest level of schooling attended by circling the code for the response. You may need to probe for the type of school attended. Circle '8' if the respondent 'Doesn't know'. Then ask, "WHAT IS THE HIGHEST GRADE (name) COMPLETED AT THIS LEVEL?" Enter the highest grade completed or '98' for 'DK' ('Doesn't know'). If less than one grade, enter '00'. For instance, if a person has attended primary school but did not complete the first grade, then the level for this person will be circled as '1', and the grade will be entered as '00'. Similarly, for a child who is attending grade 5 in primary school at the time of the interview, the level will be coded as '1' and the grade as '4', since this person has not yet completed grade 5.

Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall.

What is the most expensive liquor you ever drank? I had Patron once, not worth the price in my opinion.
I've had more expensive wines, but Jack Daniels Single Barrel, I liked it.
Last summer, two of my coworkers had work anniversaries so the rest of the office gifted them obscenely expensive whiskey that we all tasted.

Railroad shipping: CSX reports record second quarter earnings
July 20, 2011
Class I railroad carrier CSX got things rolling on the tracks with record-setting second quarter earnings of $506 million and $0.46 per share for a 28 percent annual gain. This topped Wall Street estimates in the $0.44 per share range.
Quarterly operating income at $926 million was up 21 percent, and operating income—at a record $926 million—was up 21 percent. Quarterly revenue at $3.019 billion was up 13 percent.
Volume growth was strong for CSX overall in the second quarter, with total volume at 1,646 total units for a 3 percent improvement over 2010. Automotive loadings were down 1 percent, and food and consumer loadings were up 8 percent, and chemicals were up 3 percent. Total merchandise was up 3 percent at 677,000 units. Coal was down 3 percent at 388,000 units, and intermodal continued its solid momentum up 8 percent at 581,000 units.
"Second quarter earnings were driven by volume which grew faster than the general economy and pricing that reflects the value of freight rail transportation and recoveries that off set higher fuel prices," said CSX President and CEO Michael Ward on an earnings conference call earlier today.
And with the economy in its second year of expansion, positive trends are continuing in the markets CSX serves at a more moderate pace, said Clarence Gooden, CSX executive vice president, sales and marketing. Gooden also noted that the Institute of Supply Management's July Manufacturing Report on Business was solid in June, with the index above 50 at 55.3, reflecting continued expansion in U.S. manufacturing, while its Customer Inventories index was at 47, explaining that when this index is below 50 indicates inventories are at a level that is supportive of manufacturing growth.
The performance of the markets CSX serves will support profitable growth, said Gooden.
Volume increases for the second quarter drove $86 million in annual growth revenue for CSX, with Gooden noting the combined effects of rate and mix responsible for $150 million of the company's annual revenue increase.
Quarterly revenue per unit—at $1,834—increased ten percent and was driven by a combination of price, fuel recovery, and mix.
"Same stores sales pricing increased 7.2 percent and continues to outpace rail inflation, which is currently forecasted at 4.6 percent for the year," said Gooden.
Same store sales are defined as units with the same customer, commodity, and car type and at the same origin and destination. These sales represent about 75 percent of the CSX traffic base.
Avondale Partners analyst Donald Broughton wrote in a research note that CSX did a solid job containing costs in the second quarter and was more than able to make up for cost inflation via price increases.
Prior to its earnings announcement, CSX said it expects to make 2011 capital investments of $2.2 billion, which is consistent with its intentions to reinvest an average of 18 percent of its revenues into its business through 2015 to further enhance the capacity, quality and flexibility of its rail network. The company added that it remains on target to achieve its current near- and long-term financial guidance, including a high-sixties operating ratio in 2011 and a 65 percent operating ratio by no later than 2015.

MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA9) -- One person is dead and multiple people are injured, including two children, after an SUV rolled off the road on Sunday, according to Prince William County police.
Police have identified the deceased as Doris Aucapina-Espinoza, 43, of Rockwood, New York. She was not wearing a seat belt and she was ejected from the car, officials said.
The driver, Alejandra Valeri Espinoza-Velasquez, 19, of Manassas, has been charged with two counts of felony child neglect, two counts of felony injure the health of a child, one count of reckless driving, and one count of failure to secure a child in a safety seat, officials said.
A total of nine people were in a 2004 Ford Explorer when the driver lost control, left the roadway and rolled multiple times before landing on its roof down an embankment, officials said.
It happened in the area of Dumfries Rd and Toddsbury Lane around 4:08 a.m. on Sunday.
The passengers included two children, one teenager and five adults. Five of those occupants were not wearing seat belts, officials said.
Four passengers were flown out for their injuries, and one of those passengers later died at the hospital.
Three other people were transported to an area hospital. The four-year-old boy sustained significant injuries. All other surviving occupants sustained non-life threatening injuries, officials said.
Police say speed, alcohol, and drug use are not believed to be factors in the crash at this time.
The driver was wearing a seat belt and was not injured during the collision.
In addition to the driver and the deceased, the occupants of the vehicle included:

Hello everyone!
I was recently upgrading to from zimbra 7.2 to 7.2.1, but my server crashed mid way through it. I've also just realized that my latest backup is several days old.. oops.
I'm now in the process of migrating to a new server (and to zimbra 8), is there any way I can import user's emails into the new install (if i can recover them from the old sever?)
I've only got one user (personal server) so I'm not interested in migrating the ldap settings or anything else, just the emails of that one account (and hopefully the filters as well).
Does anyone know how to do this? I've googled around, but none of the zimbra commands I've found for migrating users actually work on my trashed install..
Thanks a lot!

Mid-season high school hoops tourneys slated in Southern W.Va.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- There's going to be a whole lot of hooping going on during the final few days of January.
Several different basketball tournaments and showcases will be staged in the southern part of the state over the next few weekends, starting Saturday with the Hatfield-McCoy West Virginia-Kentucky Shootout at the Williamson Field House.
The following weekend brings the King Coal Classic, a two-day event at Willie Akers Arena in Logan (Jan. 25-26), with the weeklong Big Atlantic Classic set to start on Monday, Jan. 28 at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center.
All three of those events will sport some of the top-ranked teams in the state.
In between, you can find the traditional St. Joseph Invitational in Huntington and the beginning of the Hometown Invitational Tournament featuring a 16-team Class A public school field.
Here's a rundown of those events:
A one-day, seven-game showcase scheduled to tip off at noon Saturday (see adjoining schedule).
West Virginia-ranked teams competing include South Charleston (No. 3 AAA) against Wesley Christian (Ky.) at 3 p.m., Tolsia (No. 7 AA) versus Sheldon Clark (Ky.) at 4:30, Hurricane (No. 10 AAA) against Belfry (Ky.) at 6 and Tug Valley (No. 3 A) versus Riverside at 9.
King Coal Classic
A couple potential showdowns loom on the opening night of this event.
At 6 p.m. on Jan. 25, Greenbrier East (9-0), the defending girls AAA champion, takes on upset-minded Logan (7-3). The host Wildcats own four wins against state-ranked teams so far, including victories over Morgantown and Huntington.
The finale finds Greenbrier East's unbeaten boys team (12-0, No. 4 in AAA) colliding with Tug Valley (8-1, No. 3 in A), the defending AA state champion.
Saturday's card is highlighted by the return of former Logan all-stater Stevie Browning, now a freshman at Fairmont State. The Falcons meet Davis & Elkins in a men's college contest at 4 p.m.
Tickets are priced at $6. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Ronald McDonald House, the Logan Animal Shelter and the American Cancer Society.
Big Atlantic Classic
The annual tournament in Beckley has attracted another star-studded field, with three top-ranked teams scheduled to compete and 16 state-ranked teams in all (10 boys, six girls).
The No. 1s on hand include Bluefield (AA boys), Greenbrier East (AAA girls) and Westside (AA girls).
The ranked boys teams participating are:
The ranked girls teams on hand:
Unlike the boys brackets, which keep each class separate, the girls division pits AAA against AA in some games (see schedule, Page 2B). Part of Saturday's card could be a showdown between the top two girls AAA teams - East and University - or a No. 1 vs. No. 1 matchup with East and Westside.
Hometown Invitational
The third Hometown Invitational Tournament begins today with four North Division first-round games.
The South Division - featuring state-ranked area teams Buffalo and Valley - will hold its seeding meeting Sunday afternoon in Smithers to determine its first-round matchups.
Two state-ranked teams will appear in the North quarterfinals - No. 7 St. Marys and co-No. 10 Tygarts Valley.
The North first-round games tonight find top seed St. Marys at eighth-seeded Valley Wetzel (St. Marys' gym wasn't available), No. 5 seed South Harrison at No. 4 East Hardy, No. 7 Doddridge County at No. 2 Clay-Battelle and No. 6 Cameron at No. 3 Tygarts Valley.
St. Joseph Invitational
The 36th St. Joseph Invitational moves to the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington after years at the since-razed Veterans Memorial Field House.
The two-tiered event begins Wednesday with small-school games (see adjoining schedule), including Charleston Catholic, the state's top-ranked Class A boys team, meeting Wayne at 7 p.m.
The big-school division tips off Thursday night, with the consolation and finals set for Friday (small school) and Saturday (big school).

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - After too long of a wait, the Super Bowl
is in sight.
And with it comes another chance to get a prediction wrong, something I've
become very good at. This time (I hope) will be different.
So, what are we going to see come Sunday evening besides salsa and ranch dip?
Plenty of scoring.
But most of that scoring is going to come from the San Francisco 49ers as they
pound away with Frank Gore's legs and sling it all over the place with Colin
Kaepernick's arm.
The goal of the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC title game was to try to keep
Kaepernick from running and the Falcons were pretty much able to do that. But
Gore and Co. picked up the slack nicely to win in a wild comeback.
What the 49ers have, really, on offense is a three-headed attack. When a team
has a two-headed attack - meaning they can run it and throw it efficiently -
they are really hard to beat.
Give that team another head - the ability to run it, with Gore, throw it, with
Kaepernick, and run it some more with Kaepernick - and good luck stopping them.
Add in Michael Crabtree and tight end Vernon Davis, and the San Fran offense is
just nasty. And fun to watch.
And to think how much things would have been different if Peyton Manning ended
up in San Francisco and not Denver.
Remember, the Niners went after Manning hard and nearly nabbed him a year ago.
Where would we be today if that had happened?
Would San Francisco even be in the Super Bowl?
Would Kaepernick even be a 49er?
Makes for some interesting conversation, but back to the game at hand.
Baltimore has its weapons, I love Joe Flacco and is any running back tougher
than Ray Rice? But I don't trust the Ravens' leaky offensive line and they
needed a miracle touchdown pass (thanks to botched coverage) to even reach the
AFC title game.
Simply put, too many things have to go right for Baltimore to win, and that
rarely happens.
As you might have noticed, we're not talking too much about defense here today
because have you looked at the scores from the playoff games? Nobody seems to
be able to stop anybody. Touchdown after touchdown. The last team with the ball
wins; kind of like the NBA.
Well, San Fran will play enough defense and the Ravens won't play much at all.
That's all the Niners will ask and it will work out for them.
I just see a supremely confident San Francisco team that will not fold.
The huge test for the Niners came against the Packers in the divisional round
and Kaepernick was electrifying.
That win was the Super Bowl because the two best teams were playing.
Yes, the Ravens went into Denver and went into New England and won. Great
stuff. Unbelievable stuff. But their run is over.
The bottom line will be the 49ers make it look easy. They start the scoring
early and keep it going while the Ravens have no answer.
Unfortunately, the only bad thing about the blowout is what it does for the
Super Bowl. For years and years, we had bad Super Bowls after bad Super Bowls,
but lately we've had a nice run of good games going down to the wire.
That changes Sunday, although if you're a San Fran fan I'll doubt you'll mind
very much.
The final score: San Francisco 49ers 35, Baltimore Ravens 20 (and that 20 is
thanks to a meaningless touchdown in fourth-quarter garbage time). And if you
have a 5 and 0 in your Super Bowl block pool, you're welcome.
This time, take it to the bank. The 49ers win in a rout. By at least 15 points
(that's a rout in the playoffs). So enjoy the salsa and enjoy your winnings.

area newspapers for over 25 years.

Beyonce was left in a tangle after her hair became caught in a huge stage fan during a concert in Canada on Monday night.
The "Crazy in Love" hitmaker was sat on the edge of the stage singing her track Halo when her long locks were swept up into an industrial-sized fan positioned in front of the audience pit.
Beyonce continued to perform as a team of assistants and security guards desperately tried to unwrap her hair from the blades.
The star was eventually freed, prompting a huge cheer from the crowd at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
It is not the only 'fan' to cause a scene during a concert on the singer's Mrs. Carter World Tour – a male devotee dropped to the ground in shock after Beyonce hugged him at a show in America last week.

Free Safety Toolbox Talk Meeting Topics and Resources
Welcome to Safety Toolbox Talks
Safety Toolbox Talks was started in 2007 as a portal for safety professionals to share and exchange free safety topic resources . . . specifically Toolbox Topics, Toolbox Talks and other free safety resources. If you're like so many companies these days, the daily safety meeting has proven very effective in reminding employees about the importance of safety in their daily tasks.
"Toolbox Talks", "Toolbox Topics" , "Safety Chats" , "Tailgate Meetings" or whatever your organization calls them is a brief safety talk or meeting about a specific subject at the beginning of the shift. These talks can be done in a variety of ways but are typically a brief (2-5 minute) interactive discussion meeting on something safety related. Toolbox Topics are used to cover a variety of short safety training subjects and to remind employees each day before they go to work, the importance of being safe.
The intention of this site is to be an exchange for safety professionals. It can take a lot of work to develop safety topics for such toolbox talks each day or week. Our hope is that if you use the resources on this site, you'll also post your own toolbox talk creations to share with others. Through this exchange, all can benefit from interesting and diverse toolbox safety topics to share with employees during the toolbox talk to emphasize safety at work.
So please, come on in and explore the site. We have a section specifically for free safety topics including toolbox topics on subjects such as behavior safety, lockout tagout, electrical safety, forklift safety, chemical safety and many others. We also have a section for sharing safety files such as images, videos, documents or safety presentations to help you get the message across. A Safety News section keeps you up to date with associated headlines from around the country about safety topics and safety issues. .
If you find something useful, please consider sharing some of your own content so others can benefit. To share your own content you'll need to register with our site. Registration is free but is required for posting in the forums or sharing your safety topics and experiences. See our privacy policy to ensure your information will not be shared with others.
Feel free to contact us if there is a category or section that we might have overlooked and you would find helpful.

As of last Thursday, Aug. 2, Rifle residents and businesses no longer have to follow the odd and even days on the calendar to water lawns and gardens. The city lifted watering restrictions that were imposed on July 2 due to hot summer weather placing high demands on the two city water treatment plants.
We received this from bow hunter Jackie Gross of Silt, who won a archery hunting trip to Africa coming up this year:"I had to share my 3D archery experience with you. We were invited by Max Archery to come to their 3D Archery Shoot in Montrose."So T.J. and the kids loaded up and we headed out early Saturday morning. We had such a great time. For never having the opportunity to shoot in a 3D archery shoot before, we were very excited to experience this event as a family. The setups of the targets were challenging for the adults, but very accessible for the kids. "The targets were very angry at the girls and me. I shot most of the targets in the leg and the girls mostly in the backside. Now T.J., on the other hand, he was bulls-eye all the way. (Yes, I am admitting it!) LOL."
The Pauline S. Schneegas Wildlife Foundation would like to thank Tyler Weed, Rifle Boy Scout Troop #223, for completing his Eagle Scout project with our foundation. Tyler collected lumber and other supplies, made plans, directed and built two new small animal cages, measuring 15 feet long, three feet high and three feet wide.

Shadow Beast
For me it's Gygor. I see him as an actual villain, almost like a MOTU version of Gorilla Grodd. Shadow Beasts are basically just generic creatures for Beast Man to control. They also have a far more boring colour scheme than Gygor.
Support Green Mini-Comic Trap Jaw in MOTUC!
Land Shark in MOTUC!!!!!! Do it Mattel!!! Do it NOW!!!!
Support The Power & Honor Foundation
Love them both, but I love Gygor more: splendid details (not that Shadow Beast doesn't have great details), love the concept (fighting Oo-Larr and stuff), totally love the facial expression - that furious rage... He's that close to foaming and frothing from the mouth.
Chroniklor, the Heroic Keeper of Eternian Myths, Legends and Lore.
Gygor. Shadowbeast is basically perfect. But I like that giant monkey better. He's the figure that should have been in the vintage era. We got Zoar and Battlecat, he was the triad.
He's big, bright yellow. Has a great cape. Awesome black armour and an axe as big as the masters themselves.
No contest. This guy has it all. and now with his bio, he's a leader and a stand alone villain. A real big bad.
Shadow beasts are great, and I'm glad to have one. But it's a lackey and it's not nearly as compelling as our friend Gygor.
Shadow beast has the tenure here... it's been seen more, it's been a part of the standard history...
But it's a mook.
ONE shadow beast is nothing... there needs to be 5-10 of the things to be a real threat.
Gygor has the armor, the weapons, and is an individual. There's something about Gygor that makes him unique and therefore more interesting to me than shadowbeast #4 over there...
Shadow beast is really cool so I am going with him.
By the Power of Grey Skull!
I picked Gygor. The Shadowbeasts are also cool, but Gygor has a little more 'kick' to him. The weapon and armor are striking and well done, the feral Gorilla scream head sculpt is a stand out for the line and the color scheme is outrageously appealing in a weird way. I really wish the Shadow Beasts had come with an alternate 'roaring' head sculpt to allow for a bit more variation in your beast army.
Gygor for me. I love both, but gorillas rock.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

Shadow Beast....Gygor just doesn't do anything for me, he's a bright yellow gorilla...plus..I don't really know who he is...and Shadow Beast just looks better.
If this poll is accurate..why are there so many cheap Gygors running around that can't be sold? And I hardly see any Shadow Beasts..

Coming.... Classics Vultak
Wanted.... Classics Masque & Callix?
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Just because I have a few and a big army of them woould look great. Gygor is a stand alone guy.
We don't need no education...
Yes you do, you've just used a double negative!

I like Gygor better, just becasue of the history of the figure I suppose, no other real reason.
Shadow Beast - just because it's an epic beast shown in Filmation's as well as MYP's cartoon. Gygor reminds me too much of King Kong and that makes him silly and ridiculous in my opinion.

Weird question really. But I like polls and gotsta chime in.
I lovd them both but voted Gygor. Because-
A) I like "new" characters I can make up stories for. In my canon Gygor is stronger/as He-Man and he feels everyone should worship him as the Most Powerful One in the Universe.
B) I'd have preferred my Shadow Beasts with a blueish tint.
C) Gygor is a blonde-furred, green-skinned gorilla with a helmet and a cape. Probably one of the best toys ever made.
Gygor for me... the shadow beast is a just a bit boring for me...
Sure, the Shadow Beast is great- I actually got SB before Big G (still in the mail), but... giant monkey, everyone. Giant monkey. No can argue the cool of giant monkey! No want try!

iOptron MiniTower Mini Review.
Posted 13 February 2009 - 05:30 PM
Never the less I hope this review will help others assess this rather new mount.
First off the mount itself comes in a nice padded metal case that can be locked. As with many newer products the manual is on a mini CD instead of a small printed manual. I was pleased that the mount could run on AA batteries, off a 12v cigarette lighter, or the included 120v system included in the case. The tripod was in a separate cardboard box.
It was fairly straight forward to attach the mount to the tripod. I then plugged in the power supply and tested basic scope functionality, and could not find any obvious problems.
Because I have several other OTAs and mounts my reasons for getting the iOptron were rather specialized. I am a solar observer and have two HA OTAs, a CaK OTA, and several OTAs I can use white light filters on. My idea was to attach a ED80 with DS SM40 HA filters on one side and a Lunt 60 CaK on the other side so I could easily observe the sun in two different wave lengths.
Keep in mind most solar observers use rather small and light OTAs compared to night time observers, in my case a 600mm ED80 and 500mm Lunt 60mm CaK.
Both of my OTAs were well within the weight limit of this mount and were easily mounted. My first test was with the DS SM40 ED80 alone. Because the manual was on a CD I ignored it and tried to set it up by the seat of my pants.
It is a little confusing to try and align an OTA in daylight by turning the mount so the arrow on it points South, especially if you are use to a GEM with a polar finder. Never the less I pointed the arrow South, turned it on, and stumbled thru the menu system and set up the sun as a user defined object and synced to it.
Despite my best effort to screw things up this thing tracked like a dream. And despite clouds and tree limbs I was able to see proms and solar structure.
I finally read the manual; to make a long story short there is a much easier way to do things. I have now started using slew to park and park and putting the tripod in close to the same place on my porch. Not to mention following the manuals directions about tracking the sun.
Bottom line I now store the assembled tripod and mount with two OTAs attached close to patio door. I can open the door, carry the whole mess outside, plug it in, select slew to object, select sun and in 30 seconds the sun is in the FOV. When I am finished I slew to park, park the scope, turn it off and carry the mess back inside. It works for me.
Keep in mind I also have an Atlas mount for my Newt and 5in refractor. No question the Atlas is more stable and probably tracks better for long exposure photography. I have not tired it yet but Ill bet I could pick up the iOptron and my small OTAs with one hand; try that with an Atlas.
Overall my first impressions of the iOptron MiniTower are very positive. I have also used it at an outreach event with my ED80 for lunar observing. Setting up at a local park with less than perfect point the arrow to South and no leveling I was easily able to track the moon, slew to M42 with a 40mm EP, and slew back to the moon with no problems.
I still need to test this mount for harder to find objects; but for me the iOptron is a keeper.

I am glad to hear that everyone is happy with their Mini Tower. It is indeed a great mount for a fair price. You can see some great AP work that was done by John Bozeman. It is posted on our BLOG. So far, only DSOs. How about if you Solar guys get crackin' and show us some nice images of the Sun? LOL
Again, thank you for the reports and clear skies.
Part of the problem with solar imaging is that we are in a solar minimum. DSOs are always up there, and there is a yearly DSO season we are getting into. But the current lack of sun spots and general solar activity has not been seen since the 1930s.
Here is the NASA link including a pix of a blank sun.

I've been thinking about getting one, so this was helpful.
Only problem is, now you've got me interested in solar observing which probably means ANOTHER scope
Posted 15 February 2009 - 10:33 AM
One question. Since the tracking path is not linear, and when the scope is pointing near the zenith (noon), will tracking become a problem due to the singularity? Have you ever observed any strange behavior when the scope passing through the zenith? the Minitower or other mounts?
Posted 15 February 2009 - 12:04 PM
Nice review, very helpful, thanks!

Hi Jason,
In the OP I noted that I have only had this mount for a short time and that was the reason for a mini review instead of a full review.
That said I can comment on previous experience with both the sun and the moon. Unless you are on the equator these objects don't really reach true zenith; and at this time of year they are much lower in the sky. Also keep in mind that most solar observers tend to favor viewing the sun early in the day, to a great extent because seeing tends to get worse as the atmosphere warms up and the air becomes more unstable. If you check out the solar forum there is currently a thread about turbulence.
I have viewed some objects very close to the zenith; seems like both Jupiter and Saturn are the ones I remember and it has always been more of a problem with a GEM than an AA mount.
Still your question is a good one and I will definitely check out how this mount performs when viewing objects close to the zenith.
Posted 15 February 2009 - 04:50 PM
I am personally wondering whether it is doable due to the mathematical singularity.

Congratulations to you and your daughter. She has proven that the younger folks can still be interested in astronomy and that they can be of significant value to the science.
I am happy to hear that you are enjoying the Mini Tower, too. Now you know why I am so thrilled with mine!

That is a nice article. I am very impressed by Caroline's dedication. She is a shining example of what can be accomplished when you believe!

My only issue with the MiniTower is trying to level it. I find it difficult to level, especially if you have a decent size scope on it. I am using the mount basically for solar viewing and mount a Vixen ED103 with a H-alpha filter. The filter is heavy, but I think the combination is within the mount's capacity. Once you level without the scope, then add the scope or tighten the tripod connecting rod, the level changes and I go crazy trying to re-level it. I will keep trying.
Wow, your post forced me to go back and read the manual and I discovered I had been doing things wrong. I put the mount together and put my scopes on it, a DS SM40 HA filter system on a ED80 and a Lunt 60 CaK. Then I take it outside and once it is on the patio and the arrow is pointing South I try and level it; I never did any leveling before that.
You did not mention putting the counter weight on; or if you adjusted the counter weight. That might a start to make leveling easier.
Posted 19 February 2009 - 01:40 PM
Posted 19 February 2009 - 03:18 PM
I have a concrete patio that I am leveling my mount on. When I go to an outreach event I always try and find a sidewalk or like base to put my tripod and mount on. At my clubs dark site I also look for one of the poured concrete slabs to put my stuff on.
At times when I am forced to set up on grass, dirt, or other surfaces issues about leveling are more pronounced.
Maybe it is just my history; but I have always had a much harder time leveling my Atlas than my iOptron.
Posted 19 February 2009 - 07:16 PM
I know it's been said that a 9.25 works on this mount...does it work WELL...or is there strain on the motors..don't want to ruin my new mount. I could get a C8 instead but I really want that 9.25.

(UPDATE) Tallahassee, FL -- November 8, 2011 - 10:20am -
Tallahassee Memorial Hospital officials say 25-year-old Shakira Smith has been upgraded to serious condition.
She was taken to the hospital with critical injuries Sunday morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol says 25-year-old Delvin Cromartie of Tallahassee lost control of a 2002 Toyota Camry on Meridian Road.
He died on scene. Smith was the passenger in that car.
(UPDATE) Tallahassee, FL -- November 7, 2011--Mike Springer
Troopers are still trying to piece together what happened in Sunday morning's fatal crash on North Meridian Road. But a lot of drivers say they're not surprised by what happened.
"It's Not safe. It's not safe. Like I said, people drive too fast. People dart out of the side road and try to get in front of you," says Mary Burner.
Troopers say around 3am Sunday, Delvin Cromartie was driving along North Meridian Road with Shakira Smith when Cromartie lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a tree, killing him and severely injuring Smith.
Many residents say because of speeding and sharp curves, accidents have become all too common here. It's one of the reasons why drivers like Mary Burner try to avoid the road at all costs.
"I run a computer business so I do a lot of on-sight services and I'll go miles out of my way if I have to," says Burner.
Other drivers like Nick Henn say they want to see improvements made to the road that will make is safer and less of a hazard for drivers.
"How many people have to die before you start chopping down trees? Like a ten or twenty foot embankment on the side of the road. How many lives would that save in the next ten, twenty years, " says Henn.
Troopers say when driving on any road, drivers should always take the proper safety precautions to keep them and other motorists safe.
"Obey the speed limit, avoid any distractions and always wear your safety belt," says Lt. Jeff Frost of the Florida Highway Patrol.
Smith is in critical condition at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
According to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor vehicles, there have been 24 crashes this year on North Meridian Road. And yesterday's crash has been the only fatality. Florida seems to show a high number of crashes state-wide. in 2010 alone, there was 235, 461 reported accidents. That's 338,112 drivers impacted... and an average of 645 crashes every day.
Tallahassee, FL -- November 6, 2011
The male driver has been identified as 25 year-old, Delvin Cromartie. Passenger Sharkira Smith, also 25, was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.
Tallahassee, FL - November 6, 2011
Updated at 8:52 AM
The male driver is dead. FHP believes he had lost control of his car before he crashed into a tree. Speed is believed to be a possible cause.
Tallahassee, FL - November 6, 2011
A fatal crash took place shortly before 7 AM this morning at Merdian Rd. and Casa Ribera Lane.
Meridian Rd. near County Road 12 is currently closed off to traffic.

Sorry to hear about your dog GP
This is looking pretty nice so far.
So I've been down in the dumps for the last week. Monday, I had to put my dog to sleep - very sad. The best therapy for me is to create a detailed, hand-drawn map to take my mind off real life and immerse myself into the work.
I decided I was long overdue in creating a typical fantasy tavern/inn... related to another commercial map idea. Unlike my Endless Terrain Battlemaps which are more photorealistic, I want to design a set of specific maps that can be used for many adventures - focusing in on the cliche locations including the inn.
This is the Blue Ox Inn. Below is the first floor, mostly the work in lineart only, having added only the main walls, and the floor stones for the 'Ox head' and 'B' for Blue Ox - just so you can see it better. Those are the only blue stones in the floor, the rest will be tan and gray, with a light gray mortar behind it. All rock shapes will have bevels and drop shadows, like the blue stones are already. The 'devil is in the details' as they say, and the devil is sure in this, as I went overboard on texture detail.
I still plan to create the smaller second floor containing five sleeping chambers for overnight guests.
My overall goal is to create a PDF sliced map pack both floor of the Inn, the stables and some outside road and yard. I want to offer a download only product, or a POD printed one by One Book Shelf, to get some of my own products into RPGNow/DriveThruRPG and the Paizo Store. I also intend to create some map objects to correspond to 10 'patrons' already created. I need tables, kegs of beer/ale, a kitchen, bedrooms, etc.
I think my plans are to build an entire village, or at least most of the main structures and facilities: black smith, market, small temple, hedge wizard's den, a dry goods or general store, corral, village home, farm house, village office/jail - what else should I create? Perhaps a water mill.
I haven't decided on the price, but I will find out what the POD version costs, and base my price on 50% of that, at most.
The map is mostly B/W for now, but it won't be when its complete.
Work-in-Progress below: (I see I missed detailing one tiny tile, need to fix that.)

I just wanted to say sorry about your dog. I've lost a few pets over the years and each one was tough...but it's going to be really hard to lose our current dogs when that time comes.
Good idea to keep occupied until you're feeling better and the map's looking great, of course!
Condolences. I am the person in the family that everyone comes to to actually do the deed so I can appreciate your pain.
Excellent project to start too. There can not be enough village maps out there!
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
OK, the flagstone floor of the main hall and beer storage room is done. As stated, this is not yet furnished, and I will be creating all the map object furnishings soon. I will be doing the second floor next, followed by the enclosed stable area and small barn, after which I will start working on the many map objects for this inn.

sorry about your dog - I had to get our cat put down x-mas day a year ago and its a terrible thing.
Inn is looking great - especially like the blue stones, very cool

As I reflect on the scale of this tarvern/inn, I begin to realize that it is actually pretty large, so my thoughts on creating a village map has expanded into thoughts towards creating an entire town. That way, I get to design more interesting buildings, and finally creating an entire town map featuring the dozens or so structures featured in the series. A temple guide with six or eight temples with all maps comprising a single map set. A city militia or gendarme office and jail and perhaps a military barracks map set. A magic shop, an old book store, and a wizard's laboratory/home as another map set. A niteclub hideaway for the local crime syndicate with an understreet haven and training grounds. Perhaps I can design a city fortress/palace, as well as a market place with varying goods from slaves to produce as map sets and accompanying map objects. I could also do a theater and several other iconic locations not fitting the most standard of sites. Another idea is a map of adventurer accomodations, starting from one-room shack/apartments for low level PCs, small homes to an eventual master adventurers urban manse with stores, vault, armory and other features better fitting higher level and wealthier player characters.
I'm even thinking of being a bit more agressive with this map and include it with a collection of 3 or 4 taverns of varying size and quality, with the Blue Ox being the premiere tavern/inn in the community. Being able to share the accompanying map objects provided give greater versatility to the overall map set and usability of the included objects.
While I could certainly build statted NPCs to occupy the city, at this time, to make a product more suitable to any/many game systems I might only list fluff NPC data describing occupations and agendas, political ties and opponents, but leave the game crunch out to be usable in D&D, Pathfinder, GURPS, Iron Crown games, whatever the enduser prefers. Like my Endless Terrain Battlemaps, I would include versions with square, hex and no grid to accomodate more game systems. This would all fit a medieval to early renaissance, European like town.
The more elaborate map requirements might better keep my interests for a long term, ongoing project like this one.

Where is Your Plan B? from altweeklies on Vimeo.
His colleagues in the ANC are preparing the country for his death and the news media are full of calls for prayer, admonitions against futile hopes for recovery, and assurances that Mandela is getting the best care possible without making him miserable and sicker.
If he's died since I wrote this on Tuesday, he lived a life of dignity and service. By example, he led South Africans of all races and ethnicities into a post-apartheid era with good will and high, if unreal, hopes that someday, the wrongs of apartheid might be erased.
For more than 50 years, I've followed his career with an interest that few others provoked. My active appreciation began during graduate school in London where I prepared for a career in Africa. Mandela, Sisulu and others were heroes of the anti-apartheid movement. Their efforts to end violent, toxic white minority rule in South Africa was companion to the growing momentum for independence in Europe's African colonies, protectorates and overseas provinces.
"Winds of change" was shorthand for all of this but no one expected it to blow away the racism and segregation of South African apartheid.
That so-called "separate development" of South Africa's various racial groups was even, then, anything but development. If anyone doubts it, look at the generations impoverished by separate education and training and how this burdens the aspirations of today's black majority.
By the time I reached Southern Africa in late 1963, Mandela and others were on trial, accused of sabotage and conspiracy. Blacks, whites and Indians, they were leaders of the armed wing of the African National Congress. In plain words, they were revolutionaries. In mid-1964, all were convicted and most were sentenced to life in prison. They could have been executed. Mandela already was in prison, convicted of illegally leaving (and re-entering) the country.
Our weekly Zambia News and then daily Zambia Times — hundreds of miles to the north — were able to report with freedom unknown in South Africa. We benefited from the freest journalism in Southern Africa, including Southern Rhodesia, Southwest Africa, and Portuguese Mozambique and Angola.
When Mandela dies, it's going to be fascinating to see what obits and commentaries focus on: terrorist, lawyer, prisoner, statesman, president and like Cincinnatus, a leader who walked away from power.
• Tim Funk, one of the best student journalists I was lucky enough to teach, was arrested recently for not moving swiftly enough to please cops in North Carolina.

However, his paper said authorities claimed Tim, "who covered the statehouse in the 1980s, failed to move away from a crowd of about 60 that was demonstrating and peacefully surrendering to arrest." He "was handcuffed and taken along with the arrested protesters to the Wake County magistrate's office to be arraigned on misdemeanor charges of trespassing and failure to disperse.
"Jeff Weaver, police chief for the General Assembly Police in Raleigh who oversaw the arrests, told The Associated Press that Funk did not heed a warning from officers to disperse before the arrests began." The paper said Tim was released late that same night.
"We believe there was no reason to detain him," said Cheryl Carpenter, Observer managing editor. "He wasn't there to do anything but report the story, to talk to Charlotte clergy. He was doing his job in a public place."
One online reader commented that it probably was no accident that Tim was among the first arrested; that assured he could not report how police dealt with demonstrating clergy. Readers also noted how zealous police tested federal constitutional guarantees with their orders to disperse: freedom to assemble and petition government and freedom of the press.
• A 2012 survey of almost 900 American TV journalists found roughly 20 percent showing signs of burnout and uncertainty whether they will remain in the industry.
Scott Reinardy, associate professor of journalism at the University of Kansas, said TV news staffs increased by 4 percent, revenue was up, and stations were producing more content than ever before, often as much as 5 1/2 hours more per day. "I wanted to see how all of that played into burnout," Reinardy said.
The KU press office reported his study. He said that questions about exhaustion, cynicism and professional efficacy found that respondents who reported higher levels of exhaustion also reported lower levels of organizational support, while those who reported higher levels of professional efficacy — or satisfaction in their jobs — reported higher levels of organizational support.
Reinardy reported that 81 percent of his respondents said they work differently "than a few years ago." Many have increased social media responsibilities, are expected to produce content for multiple platforms and have more frequent deadlines.
"Many said, 'I can't do this much longer,'" Reinardy said. "You're probably going to see the TV business get younger, a little more inexperienced and, as a result, there will be a loss of institutional knowledge, which doesn't bode well for community journalism at any level."
• I'm waiting for conservative pundits to wonder aloud how Republicans can tell us to trust the National Security Agency while assuring us, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." I guess it's the same mental gymnastics that reporters find when legislators kill money for family planning and do all they can to assure that low-income women can't get abortions.
• A good sex scandal ages well even if protagonists don't.
In the early 1960s, party girl Christine Keeler almost brought down the British government. She shared beds of British Secretary of State for War John Profumo and a Soviet spy, naval office Yevgeny Ivanov.
At the time, there were public assurances all around that her activities were sexual, not Cold War espionage; pillow talk was erotic, not nuclear.
Now, the London Daily Mail says Keeler's new book includes her admission that she helped her friend, society osteopath Stephen Ward uncover secrets about missile movements in the West that were later passed to the Soviets.
"However I dress it up, I was a spy and I am not proud of it. The truth is that I betrayed my country."
The Sunday Mirror also quotes Keeler as saying, "The Establishment was far more interested in painting it as a sex scandal and chose to ignore claims of a widespread spying network. Far better that the Establishment be caught with its pants down than involved in stealing secrets. That was the thinking."
Osteopath Ward, who introduced young women to rich and powerful men, often at country houses, committed suicide as he became the scapegoat in the scandal.
I was at UPI in London at the time. Keeler is right. There was a political/aristocratic Establishment and its first concern was its own survival. For months, we treaded lightly as we reported seemingly unrelated events without connecting them in fear of ferocious, costly libel laws.
But the unreported stories we heard and traded proved to be less salacious than the facts as they came out. Profumo probably would have escaped with modest embarrassment had he not been caught lying to the House of Parliament about the affair. That breach of the Establishment's expectations of a Gentleman, and not widely held suspicions of Soviet espionage, brought him down.
• Tuesday's
Morning Edition on NPR included the kind of remark that fuels
conservative conviction that public network is a coven of Lefties. The
host was asking a foreign reporter about the different responses of
Turkish and Brazilian leaders to ongoing street protests. After the
reporter offered the political context for the seemingly accommodating
reaction of the Brazilian president, the host suggested that the Turkish
prime minister hadn't responded to young protesters there. First, the
host was wrong. He responded. Second, it was obvious that the Turk's
response wasn't acceptable to the NPR host because it was hardline
rather than accommodating.
Six months ago today, 26 children and adults were slaughtered at the hands of Adam Lanza and a semi-automatic Bushmaster XM12 E2S rifle inside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., one of the deadliest school shooting massacres in U.S. history. As parents, friends, family and gun control advocates around the country mourn and commemorate the loss of life, Ohio gun rights advocates are worried about something else.
Their concern: how to make it easier for Ohio citizens to obtain high-round magazines for their semi-automatic weapons.
A new Ohio House Bill introduced by State Rep. John Becker (R-Union Township) could, if passed, allow people to purchase high-round magazines for semi-automatic weapons, removing language from the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) that currently restricts use of magazines exceeding 31 rounds for semi-automatic weapons.
Specifically, the proposed bill would remove the definition of "automatic firearm" from section 2923.11 from the ORC that currently qualifies a weapon traditionally defined as a semi-automatic firearm (which operated by firing only once for each pull of the trigger) as an automatic firearm under Ohio law when used with a magazine holding greater than 31 rounds of ammunition.
Gun rights advocates are in favor of deleting the line because qualifying a semi-automatic as an automatic weapon under Ohio law (dependent on magazine size) subjects gun owners to greater background checks and stricter purchasing restrictions, which they consider an unlawful hassle and burden.
Jim Irvine, Chairman of the Buckeye Firearms Association, says that the sentence Becker has proposed to remove is one that inherently conflicts the actual definition of an automatic weapon; he says it doesn't make sense to qualify a semi-automatic weapon under the same umbrella as an automatic weapon when the two are entirely different types of firearms.
He says that the issue is one of convenience for most semi-automatic gun owners, including himself. "Loading up magazines can take time," he says. "When I go to the shooting range I want to use my time up shooting, not reloading."
That extra time, though, is exactly the point of the wording in the ORC, explains Toby Hoover, executive director for the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence. Limited magazines were what eventually stopped the Arizona gunman who shot former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords because a bystander was able to attack the shooter when he dropped a magazine while trying to reload.
Hoover asserts that gun rights advocates like Irvine are being subversive in their reasons for wanting to change the changed law.
She says the legal issue is not that the ORC is trying to directly equate semi-automatic weapons to automatic weapons — they clearly operate differently — but that grouping them together using that magazine restriction is a common-sense way to define them both as dangerous, unnecessary forms of firearms that simply shouldn't be readily accessible to the average gun owner. Semi-automatic weapons are extremely easy to purchase in Ohio, she says, while purchasing automatic weapons involves many more complicated restrictions and regulations.
"I'm just really upset with the way they [Ohio Republicans and gun lobbyists] are ignoring the fact that people in Ohio want gun restrictions. They're just going the opposite direction," she says. "If they're really concerned about the wording of the law, just have them maybe separate the definitions but keep the restrictions the same."
Ohio is one of several states monitor magazine limits on semi-automatic weapons, she explains, so it's not unusual at all that the ORC does so.
Adam Lanza, Sandy Hook's shooter, had several 30-round magazines on him and was also carrying two handguns. It's estimated he used somewhere between four and 10 magazines during the shootings, which took place over a matter of minutes.
The bill has been assigned to the House's Transportation, Public Safety and Homeland Security committee, where it currently awaits hearing
An investigation by nonprofit journalism group ProPublica has uncovered the identity of one of the secret super PACs funding advertisements attacking U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and promoting his challenger, Ohio state treasurer Josh Mandel.
The group is the Government Integrity Fund and is headed by Columbus lobbyist Tom Norris. Norris' lobbying firm Cap Square Solutions employs former Mandel aide Joe Ritter.
Ritter declined to comment to ProPublica about his role with Norris' lobbying firm or whether he is involved with the Government Integrity Fund.
The race between Brown and Mandel is considered vital to Republicans who want to take control of the Senate and Democrats who want to hold on to their majority. It has turned into Ohio's — and the nation's — most expensive race.
The Associated Press reported in August that outside groups — like the Government Integrity Fund — have spent $15 million supporting Mandel, while similar groups have spent $3 million for Brown.
It's unknown where the money is coming from because federal regulations and the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United case allow the groups to spend unlimited amounts of cash on political ads without disclosing their donors.
Such groups are classified as non-profit "social welfare" groups, which don't have to release donor information or register with the Federal Election Commission. They're supposed to be "primarily" engaged in promoting social welfare.
Super PACs aren't supposed to coordinate with campaigns, but it is common for them to hire politicians' former aides.
According to ProPublica, Ritter was first hired by Mandel as an aide when the candidate was in the Ohio Legislature. He was then the field director for Mandel's state treasurer campaign and then became a constituent and executive agency liaison when Mandel won that race. He left the treasurer's office after six months to work for Norris' lobbying firm.
Ritter was part of an ethics complaint filed after a Dayton Daily News investigation into Mandel's practice of hiring former campaign workers for state jobs. Ritter has contested the charges.
Norris' ties to the Government Integrity Fund was discovered by ProPublica through documents filed with Cincinnati NBC affiliate WLWT. The Federal Communication Commission requires TV stations to keep detailed records about political advertisers.
An analysis of U.S. crime data by a British newspaper has found there's been a 25 percent increase in civilian justifiable homicides since the controversial "stand your ground" (SYG) laws started being introduced in 2005.
London's Guardian newspaper analyzed data from FBI and state sources. It concludes that the spike in civilian justifiable homicides is related not only to SYG laws, but also weak gun control laws in certain states.
Florida was the first state to introduce an SYG law in 2005 and similar measures have now been adopted in some form by more than 20 states. Most were passed in 2006. Ohio doesn't yet have such a law, but it's believed that gun advocates might be planning a campaign for one here soon.
Florida's SYG law is expected to be part of the defense made for George Zimmerman, if he is charged with a crime. Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed an unarmed African-American teenager, Trayvon Martin, Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla. The incident has triggered widespread public outrage.
The Guardian's analysis shows that SYG laws alone cannot be statistically linked with the rise in justifiable homicides. But in states with both SYG laws and the weakest gun control laws — as defined by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence — it found a statistical correlation with an increase in justifiable homicides.
Across the United States, such killings have risen sharply over the past five years, according to the data provided by the FBI and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. From 2001-05, there were 1,225 homicides classified as justifiable, compared to 1,528 in the period 2006-10. By contrast, violent crime overall has been falling.
"The police are shooting more people and citizens are shooting more people. We're evolving into an increasingly coarse society with no obligation to diffuse a situation and rapidly turn to force," said Professor Dennis Kenney, of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York and an ex-police sergeant in Florida. "People are literally getting away with murder."
SYG laws allow a potential crime victim who is in fear of "grave harm" to use deadly force in public places, not just inside their own homes. They eliminate the legal requirement to retreat before a person may claim he or she acted in self-defense.
SYG laws have been pushed by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which drafts model legislation for state lawmakers to use.
State Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Green Township) is among ALEC's leaders, as CityBeat has previously reported here and here. The group, which held its annual meeting in Cincinnati last spring, has a membership of nearly 2,000 state legislators and around 300 private-sector members.
Funded by the Koch brothers, the National Rifle Association, oil companies and others, ALEC's model bills have served as the template for "voter ID" laws that swept the nation in 2011, for the voucher programs that privatize public education, for anti-immigrant legislation, and for the wave of anti-labor union legislation pushed during the past two years in Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana, Arizona, New Hampshire and elsewhere.
This week Coca-Cola and PepsiCo dropped their memberships in ALEC, amid the threat of boycotts.
In 2010 National Public Radio reported that Corrections Corp. of America (CCA), a private-sector ALEC board member, participated in the drafting of Arizona Senate Bill No. 1070. The report documented the behind-the-scenes effort to draft and pass the law and how the CCA stood to benefit from people incarcerated under it.
Marvin Meadors, a Huffington Post contributor, has described ALEC as "a bill-churning mill which uses corporate money to draft model legislation that advances the agenda of the Far Right and encourages crony capitalism."
