Are you tired of walking around the office? Honda thinks it has the answer. The new UNI-CUB follows on from the U3-X mobility concept shown in 2009, and features revolutionary technology from Honda's world famous humanoid robot Asimo.
Riders simply shift their weight to alter its speed or direction and thanks to the new wheel system, the UNI-CUB can even move diagonally or sideways to make it easier to manoeuvre <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Times New Roman"; panose-1:0 2 2 6 3 5 4 5 2 3; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face {font-family:Cambria; panose-1:0 2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Cambria;} table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-parent:""; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> around obstacles.
Honda says the UNI-CUB "promotes harmony between the riders and others", as the high seating position allows them to maintain eye-level contact with other pedestrians. The hands-free controls also allow more freedom compared to the earlier U3-X, where riders held the seat to balance.
The device follows on from Honda's continuing development of next-generation motability devices. It will continue testing at Japan's National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation from June 2012 through to March 2013. Staff will be performing demonstrations and annual pass holders will be offered test rides.

A 69-year-old woman crashed her car into the Department of Motor Vehicles building where she intended to renew her driver's license.
Denise G. Butterfield said she was pulling into a handicapped parking space when her car suddenly jumped the curb and smacked into the front of the building Thursday.
The car narrowly missed two people sitting on a bench, but nobody was injured. Damage to the building and car was minor.
"I never hit the accelerator," Butterfield insisted. "The gas engaged itself."
"At least nobody got hurt," Anthony Harry, 47, of Daytona Beach told the Daytona Beach News-Journal, who was waiting on line. "That car could have punched through the wall."
A police officer who did a quick check the car said everything seemed to be working properly. Butterfield was issued a ticket for careless driving.
Because of the accident, department officials made Butterfield take a new written and behind-the-wheel test.
"It's better to be safe than sorry," said Mary Lyn Dance, an examiner at the driver's license office.
Butterfield passed both tests and her license was renewed.

Schierholtz Powers Cubs Past Nationals 11-1
CHICAGO (AP) — Nate Schierholtz homered twice and drove in a career-high six runs, powering Jeff Samardzija and the Chicago Cubs to an 11-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday night.
Schierholtz connected for a three-run shot in the first and a two-run drive in the seventh in his fourth career multihomer game. He also had an RBI double in the third in Chicago's highest-scoring game since a 14-6 victory over Houston on June 23.
Donnie Murphy added a pair of solo homers and Dioner Navarro had a three-run shot for the Cubs, who managed just 12 runs total in their previous eight home games. Junior Lake doubled twice and scored two runs.
It was more than enough for Samardzija (7-11), who pitched a six-hitter for his second complete game of the season and No. 3 for his career. He struck out five and walked none in his first victory in a month.

DevilDriver Post New Song
Makes me want to drown kittens.
I actually quite enjoyed it. I like this song more then almost any song off Beast
link didn't work for me
Song didn't do nothing for me. Hope there are better songs in their new offering.
Digging: Revocation - Great Is Our Sin
Very bland, there is nothing that stands out or really grabs you. With that said, however, it does bode well for the rest of the album. Dez and crew seem to have gone back to a groove focus rather than continue the attempt of technical metal on Beast which is where they shine best.
Should add that Dez's vocals are sounding quite good this time around too.
Boring. Most everything on Beast is better. ZomarK apparently listened to the wrong album thinking it was Beast
Beast was actually my least favourite album by these guys. Last Kind Words is the best in my opinion. Fury is good as well. I think their prime has long passed but I still enjoy them.
'link didn't work for me'
If the link doesn't work then try looking at the URL and put a colon in the proper place. Then it should work. I don't know WHY Sputnik refuses to play nicely with https links, but it's quite bothersome.
Digging: Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult - Hora Nocturna
Also song is good!
Starts off pretty dull but picks up drastically a little over the halfway mark. I'm looking forward to this album.
Holy crap. The production on this thing sounds massive
Perfect timing, I just started getting into these guys again a few days ago
Digging: Arizmenda - Beneath This Reality of Flesh
Their drummer has ridiculous legs. The double kicks are pretty impressive.
This band is so shit.
It's ok I guess. Nothing really special and I doubt they'll ever make an album as consistent as TLKW again.

|Bingham Announces Candidacy
Jim Bingham, a local businessman in Lewisburg, has announced his candidacy for the open position of Mayor of the City of Lewisburg.
Bingham stated, someone wrote a long time ago "it was the best of times; it was the worst or times". The last few years have been a struggle for many of us in Lewisburg because of national and even worldwide economic conditions. In spite of that, I believe Lewisburg will not only survive, but will again thrive.
It is because I love Lewisburg and it's citizens that I want to contribute to it's betterment. With this in mind, I announce my candidacy for Mayor. If I am fortunate enough to be elected, I will do my best for every citizen. I will answer any question to be best of my ability.
Mayor Barbara Woods is a friend of mine and I am proud of her efforts on behalf of Lewisburg. Her accomplishments are many. I appreciate our council for keeping us sound financially. We are fortunate to have so many hard working loyal employees that are dedicated to the betterment of this city. There are many fine and talented volunteers that serve on boards and committees to enhance and move this city forward. To all of these, I offer my heartfelt thanks.
If we all pull together, there is nothing that is good and noble that we cannot accomplish.

If the 49ers want to make a Super Bowl anytime over the next few years, having a good draft this year will be key. If the 49ers execute their draft the way I have it, we will be well on our way to The Sixth Ring!
Round 1, Pick 13: Ndamukong Suh
We need a big dude on the defensive line, and this dude is pretty big. I don't know if he can sack a whole bunch, but he can eat stuff pretty good.
Round 1, Pick 17: Eric Berry
The Berry without the straw, this dude is pretty good. He's not big like Suh, but he makes up for his lack of size by running pretty good. Yeah, he's a good runner. We need him.
Round 2, Pick 49: Gerald McCoy
We need another big dude. Trust me. He eats more than Suh, too, but he's stays away from milk. He doesn't like the lack of color.
Round 3, Pick 79: Bryan Bulaga
With Okung and Davis off the board by the late 2nd round, we'll need to address big guy stuff on the other side of the ball. This guy can finish off a 12 pack of hot dogs. By himself!
Round 4, Pick 114: Kareem Jackson
The son of a basketball legend. I think. 'Nuff said.
Round 5, Pick 145: CJ Spiller

Round 7, Pick 220: Mike Iupati
Traded 6th and 7th round for this sweet draft position. This guys pretty good at chewing and swallowing, so he's pretty much a big guy by default.

Wow! This is Absolutely beautiful! O.O
she looks so sad
Realmente conseguiu mostrar a essência da loucura que há na personagem.
Amei *----*
OMG i love this *^*
Holy shit this looks epic.
She looks a little scared or weary, judging her eyebrows. I don't know if that's how you meant to put it, but it's how I view it & I like that very much. I see other pieces that have her as this kick ass confident girl when I'm playing the game currently and she looks more like she doesn't want to be in wonderland at all. She recognizes it more than the real world, but doesn't like the people very much. Soooo not sure if that's how you meant it, but long story short, I love this XD
I really love how you can only see one of her eyes, it definitely makes the whole thing more beautiful! I think that this is just incredible <3

News and resources for protesters attending the mass demonstration on Wall Street against financial greed and corruption
13 comments
And if this doesn't happen what will they do? Keep demonstrating? Sure they have nothing else to do I'm pretty sure at least 90% of them are unemployed or they wouldn't be able to spend so much time out there using their iPhones, Androids, tents purchased at REI or Walmart or talking to the corporate news media. What a joke.
Please don't propagate this - it is a distraction. Let's focus on the issues. This does not promote discourse or productive argument. Pick a single issue and argue a point.
Nathan, this does help to determine whether this group is part of the solution or part of the problem.
Also, there isn't a SINGLE issue to pick, there are multiple issues. We all know Wall Street can be greedy, but we have (had) laws to prevent the greed from getting out of hand. Then lobbyists got to the right (or wrong) people, laws were changed and greed went rampant.
OK - I'll agree about judging the group. Note that this doc does not represent the group, but I definitely see that point. The point about picking an issue, wasn't implying that there was only one. It more comes from my belief that we have stopped listening and investigating. We have determined what "team" we're on and we discount views that may prevent that team from winning. So, I will re-phrase. I very much like arguments about issues. It allows me to learn (hopefully) a fact I didn't know or a philosophical argument I had not heard. To list bullet points and then make a judgement is non-optimal in that sense only. I hope that is more clear. To boil this down to an example, I would like to see an article about glass-steagall than a story about occupy wall st. The gutting of that law was one of the fundamental contributors to the economic bubble that collapsed and brought us the "great recession". If we all agree that glass-steagall should be restored, then we can move to the next point.
You're right Nathan. Too often people want to make this about Right/Left instead of right and wrong. They see a debate and instead of listening to the substance they cling to the side they vote with or the side that gives them what they want. Myself, I want the self-determination and independence guaranteed me in The Constitution rather than a nanny-state that wants to give everyone a mediocre cut of all the greatness this country has to offer. There are too many instances of people becoming something from nothing by pulling themselves up by the bootstraps. I've never heard of anyone becoming great because government GAVE them everything, that's how slaves are made not free people. I just don't understand this listing of 'demands' for government to provide things that in the past people went out and got for themselves or if it was a particular niche that was needed made a business of it themselves. If they did it right it succeeded, if not it went under and someone else tries to do better. Free market economics works if you get government out of it.
I generally agree that less regulation is good, but I do believe that government and regulation should play a role in our market economy. I think glass-steagall highlights a benefit. We've proven that we cannot prevent people from abusing conflict of interest for their own profit. By separating banks and financial institutions we had greatly reduced the chance of those powerful few from infringing on our ability to start our own business or just live our lives how we see fit. Of course that act also highlights the problems that occur when government is involved (regulating savings account interest I think was in there). Other than that, I think we're on the same page when it comes to self-determination and independence. I am sometimes stunned with the amount of liberty we have "voluntarily" given up in just the last 10 years and how the abuses of those powers continue to go unchecked. Fundamentally, I wonder if we have forgotten that the government exists because we allow it to...

Probably going to pinch us a bit in the morning just because some fund or investor will not want to hold because of the relation(footwear/seasonal).
But these companies could not be more different. UGGS are thought of as luxury. Crox, I have no idea what people consider it(personally I consider it garbage).
Crocs operates more than 3X the stores we do and produces 20% less revenue than we do.
We're a company opening 140% more stores over the next 36 months(stores which are highly profitable and pay for themselves within a year).
Our company has barely penetrated the international market(though IT IS A WELL-KNOWN brand internationally).
So short term reactions are just that but Crox results don't change my long term bullishness on this company.
I agree, comparing Decker to Crocs is like comparing Toyota to Mercedes Benz. There will be a little selling in the morning, but the smart money will be snapping up those shares. I think Decker has weathered the storm and it's onward and upwards from here. Certainly would not want to have a short position at this time.
True. Another thing is we know management isn't afraid to buy back stock, which going foward at these price levels and lower, I have no issue with. I would have an issue with a management sitting on its hands like Apple.
Apple's management really unimpresses me. Buying back stock at a level I do not consider cheap. They should have just returned more cash to shareholders than waste it buying back stock. But that is difference between a management that has investors back and a management that doesn't.
Whatever management of this company does severely hurts them as it does any of us based on the main guys all heavily invested, which helps me invest easier.
It was one of the reasons I liked Under Armour way back when 30 months ago when the stock was trading at a fraction of its value and the CEO KEvin Plank owned 20M of the outstanding 51.5M shares at the time. Now he owns a fraction of that and has been selling every quarter since near all-time high's(I wonder why?)
So management being invested is a good thing and being conservative is good as well.
Good luck to us tomorrow.

The Ruthven-Ayrshire school board met with the Emmetsburg school board Monday night for the first joint board meeting since opening talks of a partial-day sharing agreement between the schools.
"The goal of a partial-day sharing agreement is to provide quality education and to provide financial stability," Ruthven-Ayrshire Superintendent Andrew Woiwood said. "We're looking at the agreement obviously because of our financial situation, but we need something that still provides a quality education to our kids. We're looking for a partner in that."
Woiwood noted Emmetsburg as an ideal partner because of their "reputation for quality education."
In their sharing agreement, Ruthven-Ayrshire students would attend Emmetsburg for the first four classes of the day and would take electives and math classes there. Their core classes would still be held at Ruthven-Ayrshire.
"Our students will have more elective choices at Emmetsburg than they do now at Ruthven-Ayrshire," Woiwood said. "It's an advantage for our students to have that opportunity."
Emmetsburg Superintendent John Joynt is "confident" that the schools will be able to come to an agreement.
"Emmetsburg has never done a contract like this before," Joynt said. "We're looking for a long-term commitment so that we can plan for our future."
As the sharing agreement is now written, Ruthven-Ayrshire would pay Emmetsburg 50 percent tuition for the first year, then increase the tuition by 10 percent each year for the next three years. By Fiscal Year 2017, which coincides with the 2016-2017 school year, Ruthven-Ayrshire will be paying Emmetsburg 80 percent tuition.
For the time being, partial-day sharing qualifies for supplemental weighting from the state. While Ruthven-Ayrshire would not see any reimbursement in the first year and only half of the reimbursement in the second year, by the third year they would be fully supplemented.
Because of the delay in supplemental weighting, Ruthven-Ayrshire suggested paying tuition at a rate of 50 percent for the first two years, then increasing by 10 percent for each of the next two years, resulting in a 70 percent tuition by Fiscal Year 2017.
"We need that bit of a buy-in until we receive the money from the state," Ruthven-Ayrshire Board President Barry Fischer said.
With 71 students in four periods at Emmetsburg, Ruthven-Ayrshire would pay $106,000 to Emmetsburg for each year they retain a 50 percent tuition rate. The tuition increases to $128,000 at 60 percent tuition, $149,000 at 70 percent tuition, and $170,000 at 80 percent tuition.
While 71 students is considered a high number by both districts, even a two percent allowable growth would "put Ruthven-Ayrshire in the red by 2017," noted Ruthven-Ayrshire board member Larry Conlon.
A "realistic number," according to the Ruthven-Ayrshire board, would include 60 students attending morning classes at Emmetsburg.
Ruthven-Ayrshire would likely be also transitioning into a one-to-one technology program over the summer, to coincide with Emmetsburg's technology.
"We're looking at buying the same computers as Emmetsburg," Woiwood said. "Cloud storage will help our students access their information from either school or from home."
Several other concerns were voiced and addressed by the board members. Fischer wondered if Emmetsburg administration would consider teachers cut from Ruthven-Ayrshire, should Emmetsburg need to hire additional staff. Joynt noted that, while they would not guarantee the immediate hire, Ruthven-Ayrshire teachers would be able to submit their application.
Joynt and the Emmetsburg board asked Ruthven-Ayrshire to calculate a financial representation of what the sharing agreement would look like, using a more accurate set of student numbers.
"Of course we'd like more funding," Joynt said, "but we'd also like to see more realistic numbers. We'd like to see a long-term agreement between Ruthven-Ayrshire and Emmetsburg."

IFC Begins Marketing Rwanda Bond as Africa Debt Plan Expands
The International Finance Corp. is offering local-currency bonds in Rwanda, which is marking 20 years since a genocide that killed at least 800,000 people, as it expands an African debt program.
The notes will be sold in Rwandan francs and listed on the nation's bourse, Standard Bank Group Ltd., which is arranging the sale with CfC Stanbic Bank and Bank of Kigali Ltd., said in an e-mailed statement today.
"We would hope to issue in the coming month or so," depending on market conditions, Alexandra Klopfer, a spokeswoman for the IFC in Washington, said in an e-mailed response to questions. "The size of the bonds will depend on IFC's funding needs."
The World Bank unit debuted its Pan-Africa Domestic Medium-Term Note Programme with the sale of 150 million Zambian kwacha ($24 million) of Zambezi notes in September last year in an offer that was 4.8 times oversubscribed. Africa may become the IFC's biggest portfolio by 2016, Chief Risk Officer Saadia Khairi said in an interview in Frankfurt in November. The lender has been in talks with the governments of Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana and Uganda about local-currency issuances.
The market regulator in the central African nation approved the IFC securities, which may be issued in May, Rwanda Stock Exchange Chief Executive Officer Pierre Celestin Rwabukumba said today in a phone interview from the capital, Kigali. The bond will be the fourth traded on the bourse, he said.
More Diversification
"The listing of the bond will increase the number of transactions on RSE, which translates into increased liquidity and diversification," Rwabukumba said.
In February, Rwanda received record demand at the first sale of debt in francs since 2011 and the country said it would offer more securities in May, August and November. Rwanda is the only East African nation to have issued a Eurobond, raising $400 million in 2013. The yield on the May 2023 bond has fallen 74 basis this year to 6.74 percent. The country's debt has returned 7.4 percent in 2014, the second-best best in Africa, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes.
IFC issues local-currency bonds to support domestic capital markets and increase access to finance for private companies, Klopfer said. Proceeds from the notes will be used for investments in the country, she said.
"Under the IFC Pan-African Domestic Medium-Term Note Programme, we are currently working with 11 countries in Africa," Klopfer said.
The lender in February last year raised 12 billion naira ($74 million) in Nigeria selling its Naija bonds. Since then, it has received approval to set up a program that will allow the IFC to issue as much as $1 billion of debt in Africa's biggest economy. The IFC has also set up a domestic medium term note program in Ghana.

An approximate membership data structure is a randomized data structure for representing a set which supports membership queries. It allows for a small false positive error rate but has no false negative errors. Such data structures were first introduced by Bloom in the 1970's, and have since had numerous applications, mainly in distributed systems, database systems, and networks. The algorithm of Bloom is quite effective: it can store a set S of size n by using only ≈1.44nlog2(1/ε) bits while having false positive error ε. This is within a constant factor of the entropy lower bound of nlog2(1/ε) for storing such sets. Closing this gap is an important open problem, as Bloom filters are widely used is situations were storage is at a premium. Bloom filters have another property: they are dynamic. That is, they support the iterative insertions of up to n elements. In fact, if one removes this requirement, there exist static data structures which receive the entire set at once and can almost achieve the entropy lower bound; they require only nlog2(1/ε)(1 + o(1)) bits. Our main result is a new lower bound for the memory requirements of any dynamic approximate membership data structure. We show that for any constant ε > 0, any such data structure which achieves false positive error rate of ε must use at least C(ε) · nlog2(1/ε) memory bits, where C(ε) > 1 depends only on ε. This shows that the entropy lower bound cannot be achieved by dynamic data structures for any constant error rate. In fact, our lower bound holds even in the setting where the insertion and query algorithms may use shared randomness, and where they are only required to perform well on average.

Skip to comments.Its happening: Democratic lawmakers say Fast and Furious proof of need for harsher gun laws
Posted on 11/06/2011 2:23:38 PM PST by Windflier
Right on cue, Democratic lawmakers have begun to say the DOJs lethal and irresponsible Fast and Furious program underscores the need for stricter gun control laws:
This hunt for blame doesnt really speak about the problem, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein at a recent Senate Judiciary hearing while discussing Fast and Furious.
And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything, .50-caliber weapons, sniper weapons, buy them in large amounts, and send them down to Mexico. So, the question really becomes, what do we do about this?
The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) have introduced a dedicated firearms trafficking statute, but it has stalled in the House Judiciary Committee.
Republicans rightly have pushed back against this narrative. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) put it best when he said simply, I get it, Id want to change the subject too if I were them. Im happy to have a conversation about broader gun laws, but were going to do it after Fast and Furious.
Whats most troubling about Democrats predictable call for tightening of regulations is that it does nothing to dispel the theory that Fast and Furious was orchestrated precisely to prove the need to clamp down on gun sellers and purchasers. Rather, it lends credence to the idea.
(Excerpt) Read more at hotair.com ...
Pretty predictable of the Dems, eh?
Senator Dianne Feinstein does not like liberty.
This is what it was really all about, anyway.
That pesky Second Amendment again. Feinstein needs to go back to counting her money and leave Americans alone. We've had enough crap out of her.
So the Dems' impropriety with guns means that the Dems should be allowed to pass stricter gun laws. Perfect logic!
None of the Dems do. They're all trapped in their suicidal group think and can't get out. We need to do everything we can to fire every one of them in Congress next year.
No more. I will not comply.
What to do?
Break out the gallows and gather up Holder and gang!
Outside of HIM sending arms to Mexico, the rest is clearly covered in the Constitution under the 2nd amendment as lawful and legitimate freedoms under God.
I'm so disgusted with the fact that Elijah Cummings is my "representative" in Congress.
Absolutely. The weird thing is, even though they got busted trying to manufacture the case for greater gun restrictions, they're still going forward with their agenda like nothing ever happened.
They're totally shameless.
If they want to disarm all the Dems, I'm okay with that.
Feinstein is right. We need harsher gun laws. We need to ban the federal government (other than the Constitutionally mandated military) from possessing firearms because they have proven time and time again to be irresponsible with their use. Law enforcement is a state and local issue and all LE activities should be restricted to people that are locally accountable. A disarmed federal government would be a government with a servant mentality, which is how it was designed to be!
It's not just the Dems, it's the elites that don't like Americans having guns. Think Mittens would better handle the ATF?
We need stricter control of government, not firearms.
Bingo. Lord willing and the creek don't rise, that's what we'll get after the next election.
The rats 'under the radar' plan was discovered so now they'll just do it right out in the open and dare anyone to try and stop them.
Hey look...it's the real-life version of your satire. Hard to tell the difference.
Anybody with a badge, that is.
Pretty much.
These ruling class oligarchs live in a protected bubble, and don't see (or don't acknowledge) that the country is on a rebellion footing. They've completely ignored the lessons of the 2010 midterm elections, and believe that they can still move the Socialist ball down field, despite the clear will of the people.
We must fire them all.
Very appropriate, DJ. Thanks for all you do.
Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. . . it absolutely should be against the law for the Federal government to traffic in guns while conspiring to take away the constitutional rights of its citizens to bear arms.
You're welcome. Thanks for noticing. :-)
Pass the picante sauce Ricky!
As I postulated in during the presidential campaign 2007, the EU has spent itself into the ground and cannot be prevented from breaking up. This was clear to them by the end of 2006.
Everything they have done since then in North America and the Mideast, however risky or likely to fail has been done with an eye towards achieving what they can before the spectacular failure of socialism in Europe causes a backlash against socialism in general world wide.
That was my assessment then and I stand by it now. They frantically Hope to stay in power after the financial collapse of Europe by making their power sphere worldwide before then.
I am betting against their being able to pull it off.
I'm pretty sure it's already against the law for the government to do what they did. It's why Darrel Issa is all over this, and Holder's somewhere sweating bullets (no pun intended).
Everything they have done since then in North America and the Mideast, however risky or likely to fail has been done with an eye towards achieving what they can before the spectacular failure of socialism in Europe causes a backlash against socialism in general world wide.
I like your assessment, Edd. I also think it's prescient. We've all been watching the teetering edifice of global Socialism become weaker and weaker since Obama's election, and with the rise of the American Tea Party, I think we'll see it finally kicked over into the dust of history.
As you said, they're frantically trying to beat the clock to the final countdown, when they're finally thrown out of power next year. It's why Pelosi, Reid, and Obama (and their minions) have been in a mad dash to re-write the rules of Western civilization as fast as they can. They're desperate to forestall the inevitable and historic sea change that's coming.
I think history will show that taking the House back from the Democrats in 2010 was the moment when the American republic was saved from certain extinction.
Can you imagine the damage they would have done by now, if the Republicans hadn't taken the House back last year? I shudder to think what sort of totalitarian laws would have been foisted upon the American people, if we hadn't "headed them off at the pass."
As it is, there's years worth of hard work ahead, just undoing all the things they've done. And we'd better pull this crap out by the roots this time, or it'll grow back so strong, we'll never get rid of it.
Thread BUMP! Great posts! Inside the twisted, treasonous mind of some current lawmakers at this time and place in our republic's history. Where are the rest of the "crickets chirping" representatives?
So far, there are 34 Congress critters calling for Holder's resignation. There will probably be more in the coming week. This scandal is not going away, and has the power to bring down Obama and the whole Democrat party.
Expect Holder to take his place under Obama's bus very soon.
E Pluribus Unum, homie. This ain't about race. It's about our God-given right to keep and bear arms. ALL of us.
Everyone, contact your elected officials and DEMAND repeals of gun control laws as punitive punishment for the criminal acts committed by our Government in Fast and Furious.
Specifically, demand that the Sporting Purpose clause of the 1968 GCA be repealed, demand that the NFA be repealed, demand that the Hughes Amendment be repealed, and demand that the multiple handgun reporting requirement be repealed.
The Government must surrender some power regarding firearms over F&F. There must be no compromise on this!!!
And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything, .50-caliber weapons, sniper weapons, buy them in large amounts, and send them down to Mexico. So, the question really becomes, what do we do about this?
The lies from the left are never ending. And, as long as the right allows them to control the language of the debate, it will continue.
The only gun control needed in the US is:
1. proper sight alignment
2. control the breathing
3. squeeze the trigger smoothly
The Democrat Crime Syndicate should have been brought down years ago...but I'll take this one, this time. These totalitarians are getting desparate.
Let me guess: These people claim we are morally bound to submit to their tax system?
They seem confident that they can get away with it and the way things are going they are probably right.
Since over 150 million, perhaps 200 million if you count Soviet gulag deaths, The BEST thing you could do to protect people is eliminate communists, socialists and progressives. I suggest a giant toilet that could hold at least 100 of them and then let freedom lovers pay say $10 per flush to pay. I think a lot of past debt could be paid for and future deficit could be eliminated.
I think you are wrong. I think it will be their death warrant when gun owners realize that they only have to eliminate 1-2 of the communists to make them all gone vs. being rounded up and killed in reeducation camps.
The chutzpa is breathtaking
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to REQUEST and purchase annual permits to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed in every situation.
You bet they're scurrying.
This is just another complicit Dem, spinning the usual leftoid mumbo-jumbo, in order to cover their collective asses. Even the presstitutes who took Feinstein's statement should have openly laughed at her pretzel logic. It's that bad.
But of course. All rights of the people flow from government, don'tcha know. The law is what Washington says it is.
Not gonna happen this time. This cat is way out of the bag, and there's no way to get him back in. All of the major media are now reporting on the scandal, and Issa's coming on like a pit bull.
Someone's gonna go down for this.
I see you got your copy of Obama's new and improved US Constitution. Sweet!
Actually, for intentionally and flagrant violation of their respective oaths of office to uphold The Constitution and that they obviously NEVER intended to abide by any part of that oath and the horrific nature and breadth of the premeditated crimes to permanently deprive all American Citizens of several aspects of their unalienable rights, I would suggest something with a bit more "impact."
Let's set up a rather large, well lit area with HD TV cameras and ready to broadcast live-for-pay, all proceeds going to pay down the National Debt and as the perpetrators are found guilty by public trial we treat all that have suffered through their tyranny with some real justice.
After 20-30 weekly "episodes" the number of smirking communist agenda "liberals" would not only be going down, their collective IQ should be going up slightly.

Generous Wanganui residents are lining up with financial
donations to replace money swiped from an elderly Poppy Day
But the RSA says the woman's welfare is more important than
the money stolen from her.
That's the message from Wanganui RSA general manager Dave
Large in the wake of several offers of donations to replace
the stolen money.
Two young women grabbed a bucket containing about $300 from
the woman's collection table outside a supermarket just after
1pm on Thursday. Initial reports that the culprit was a young
man were incorrect.
"Somebody's just run up and took it and ran away," Mr Large
said. People had asked the RSA to put its bank account number
online so they could donate to make up for the stolen money.
"I think it's a great gesture," he said. "But we're more
interested in the welfare of the lady than the money that was
The collector was unhurt but "fairly shaken".
Mr Large said it was important for her to know she had
"It would be nice if these young people gave the money back.
It would be nice if they got some insight into why this is so
wrong. It would be nice to try and help that person?"
The incident was "the exception" for Wanganui, he said.
Double S Motordrome owner Ray Stevens has collected $315 so
far to replace the stolen money, pledging $100 himself and
receiving another $100 from a farmer.
Other donations had come from people who had seen a post on
his Facebook page.
"It's a really negative, bad thing that's happened ... people
don't like seeing that, people want to help," Mr Stevens
He reckoned Wanganui residents were the most generous in the
country proportionately.
He will wait to see if anybody else comes in and makes a
donation before taking the money to the RSA by Anzac Day.
Anyone with information on the theft should contact Whanganui
police on 06 349 0600 or call anonymously Crime Stoppers on
0800 555 111.

Most of these great artists would probably resent being on this list, as opposed to a list open to all rock artists, but with the vast majority of rock artists being men, I thought this list could be interesting.
Two notes: I think I stole this idea from somebody (jblack maybe?), and whoever it is, I pay tribute! Secondly, because on the aforementioned list a huge debate about Aretha occured, let me refer readers to my "Female Soul Singers" list; The Queen of Soul is enshrined there, at the top of the list.

U.S. States Face 'Staggered' Recovery, Pew Center's Urahn Says
U.S. states face a "staggered" recovery even as the national economy shows signs of stabilizing, Susan Urahn, a managing director at the Pew Center on the States, told investors on a conference call.
They may also have to contend with three to four more years of budget woes, said Laura LaRosa, director of fixed income at Glenmede Investment & Wealth Management in Philadelphia, on the call yesterday.
"When the recovery comes, it's going to be staggered and slow," Urahn said. "The lag happens because it takes time for the states' unemployment rates to come down to pre-recession levels."
Nationally, unemployment held at 9.7 percent in March for a third month, the Labor Department reported on April 2. The jobless rate reached a 26-year high of 10.1 percent in October. Employment has a direct impact on the ability to generate revenue through personal income tax, Urahn said.
States' personal income-tax revenue fell 7.1 percent in January and February from the same period in 2009, and there is a risk the slide will extend into this quarter, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government said in a report yesterday.
Tax revenue likely declined for a record sixth straight quarter in the first three months of the year, the institute's deputy director, Robert Ward, said in congressional testimony on April 15.
Payrolls Rise
Payrolls increased in 33 states in March, the Labor Department reported yesterday in Washington. Employers added 162,000 jobs last month, the biggest increase in three years.
Lawmakers have struggled with three consecutive years of revenue shortage, Urahn said. They closed $117 billion in cumulative budget deficits last year and are estimated by Pew to face $146 billion of gaps this year, she said.
"Given the long-term ramifications of what's going on, we could be looking at malaise through these state budgets for three to four years," said LaRosa, who helps manage $4.5 billion in municipal bonds.
Investors in municipal bonds should purchase higher-rated debt and diversify across the states, LaRosa said. Buyers should focus on pre-refunded municipal bonds, a tax-exempt security payable from U.S. Treasuries in escrow that are left in the market after refinancing deals, and callable debt.
Not Yielding Enough
Lower-rated states, such as California and Illinois, are not yielding enough to merit the risk of investment, LaRosa said.
"You would normally think that it's intuitive that when states are having problems, the rates on these bonds become attractive," LaRosa said. "The spreads on that credit quality versus a safer, more secure credit are just too slim. We don't think investors are getting paid to take the risk."
The extra yield investors are demanding on California's 10-year bonds above AAA rated municipal securities was 1.28 percentage points yesterday, compared with 153 basis points in December, according to Bloomberg fair value index data. One basis point is 0.01 percentage point. California is the lowest rated state, with a Baa1 from Moody's Investors Service, its third-lowest investment grade, and one level higher by Standard & Poor's at A-.
Top-rated, 10-year tax-exempts yielded 3.25 percent, 146 basis points lower than the record high of 4.71 percent reached in October 2008, according to a daily survey by Concord, Massachusetts-based Municipal Market Advisors.
Similar-maturity BBB rated bonds yielded 4.86 percent, 2 basis points lower than a four-month high reached April 13, according to Bloomberg Fair Market Value data.
The spread between the two securities, at 161 basis points, has narrowed from 350 basis points in March 2009. The premium has averaged 80 basis points since the MMA index's creation in 2001.

The instant Piper Allen sees Erik Titov, she wants him-wants his rock-hard body, sure, but the strength and mystery that lie behind that superstar hockey jock demeanor, too. So when he sidles up to her at a bar and slinks his arm around her waist, she's lost. What follows is the wildest night of her life . . . followed by inevitable heartbreak the next morning. And then, a few weeks later, a very big surprise: two blue lines on a pregnancy test. Only a check to the head could make Erik fall for a nice girl like Piper. But since their crazy-sexy night together, he's been trying to forget about her by falling into bed with every woman in Nashville, and it's not working. So when Piper shows up at his house with a baby-bomb to drop, it doesn't take much for Erik to suggest the nuclear option: marriage. While it's supposed to be all for show, the second they say "I do," the ice between them starts to melt into sizzling steam. Contains mature themes.
