Opponents to gun control say they have evidence that shows Governor Hickenlooper may have been influenced by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Phone records obtained by CompleteColorado.com show Mayor Bloomberg called the Governor at two important points of the debate this past spring.
"Really, just confirmed what we knew. We've been hearing about it from legislators, we heard those conversations took place and all the signs were there saying this was an East Coast influence," said El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa.
Sheriff Maketa is leading the lawsuit against Colorado's new gun laws, arguing they are unenforceable.
"We've been saying it all a long, we've saying follow the money and you'll see whose agenda this really is. It's not a grass roots Colorado effort," Maketa said.
Eric Brown with Governor Hickenlooper's office released this statement about the phone calls:
"The governor talked to many people on all sides of the gun issue. For example, he hosted NRA President David Keene in his office for a meeting, and he talked to Mayor Bloomberg on the phone. He also met with families of crime victims and with interested advocacy groups such as the Independence Institute (now partnered with sheriffs in a lawsuit). Any outside influence hardly came from one place."
Records on the Colorado Secretary of State's website show Mayor Bloomberg's group "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" had several lobbyists registered at the capitol this year.

Shadow of a Species
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by Scott Portelli
This photograph has a strong emotional connection that represents the devastation that has been brought upon these amazing creatures in the past century. With whales still being hunted today it could only be a matter of time before these creatures are just a distant memory or shadow of what they used to be.

WAREHAM— A 31-year-old Wareham man is charged with robbing two teenagers of their cellphones and other items at gunpoint Thursday, police said.
Toure Perry is charged with armed robbery, according to Lt. Kevin Walsh, public information officer for the Wareham Police Department.
The victims told police they were robbed on Marion Road about 5:30 p.m. by a man who was armed with what appeared to be a semi-automatic handgun, according to Walsh. The suspect fled on foot after the robbery.
Police later stopped a vehicle and arrested Perry, who was a passenger, when he matched the victims' description of the man who robbed them, Walsh said.
The driver of the vehicle told police she picked up Perry and gave him a ride, police said.
Police have not located the firearm used in the robbery, according to Walsh.

The Canterbury Tales: General Prologue & Frame Story
by Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales: General Prologue & Frame Story Time Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line). We used the line numbering found on Librarius's online edition.
Quote #1
Whan that Aprill with his shoures sote
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote,
(General Prologue 1 – 2)
For everything (turn, turn, turn) there is a season (Turn, turn, turn.) Yeah, you know the song, and it's basically making the same point as the first fourteen lines of The Canterbury Tales. These lines tell us that there's a particular time of year when people want to go on pilgrimages. They describe just what that time of year that is: namely, spring. The point seems to be that spring is a time for beginnings, like the beginning of a journey which is the beginning of repentance (and the beginning of this poem).
Quote #2
And shortly, whan the sonne was to reste,
So hadde I spoken with hem everichon.
(General Prologue 30 – 31)
This is the first instance of something that happens constantly in the frame story of the Tales, which is the obsessive detailing of exactly what time it was when something happened.
Quote #3
But natheles, whyl I have tyme and space,
Er that I ferther in this tale pace,
Me thinketh it acordaunt to resoun
To telle yow al the condicioun
Of ech of hem, so as it semed me.
(General Prologue 35 – 39)
Here, Chaucer is referring not to time as it's passing in the story, but to narrative time, the amount of time and space it takes him to say what he wants to say. Just as the Host is always worried that time is passing too quickly, Chaucer and many of the other characters are often concerned that they're going to take up too much narrative time and space.

by Henry David Thoreau
The Pond
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
"I am thankful that this pond was made deep and pure for a symbol," writes Thoreau (Pond in Winter.6). Walden Pond is not just the setting, but also an important symbol in the book. Everything about Walden Pond – its clarity, its reflective surface, its depth, the specific qualities of its water and its ice – provides Thoreau with yet another occasion to contemplate some aspect of human life. Then, of course, there's the spectacle of the ice-collectors harvesting the ice, Walden Pond's only real commodity. Because of his previous comments, Thoreau has helped us appreciate both the greed that drives the collectors, as well as the pond's seeming immunity to this violation. Walden Pond is the "earth's eye," he writes, "looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature" (Ponds.18). The pond is deep, and so is Thoreau – majorly.

Wagner Diniz Gomes de Araujo is a professional football player from Brazil, who plays as a defender. Favouring the right flank, Diniz is the quintessential right-back, constantly flying up and down the wings for the duration of the game. Beginning his career at Clube de Regatas Brasil, Diniz worked his way through the youth system and got in to the first team. From 2000 to 2005, Diniz was a part of Clube de Regatas, with the exception of one year in the middle.
Sent out on loan, to Treze Futebol Clube, Diniz spent 2004-05 away from his parent club, hoping to get some form of regular playing time with a new club. He became a part of the team that won the Paraiba State League title, but regular playing time was still missing.
That wouldn't come until the second half of 2008, when he moved to Brazilian giants Vasco da Gama. From 2005 to 2008, Diniz became a regular starter in the Vasco line-up, scoring 6 goals in the process of playing over a 100 games.
He moved to Sao Paulo, in 2009, but couldn't break into the first team. Sao Paulo decided to send him out on loan instead, this time to Santos. After just six games for Santos, Diniz returned to Sao Paulo but still wasn't able to get into the first team. In 2010, he was sent out to Atletico Paranaense for a loan period that was renewed at the end of the season.
He has become a regular in the Atletico Paranaense team, with 35 games under his belt and three goals to his name.

Milford Wildlife Area News
This year we have 8 sunflower fields ranging in size from 6 to 19 acres each. The West Broughton Youth/Mentor Area field requires each mentor age 18 years old or older to be accompanied by a youth 17 years old or younger. Vehicles are not allowed past the parking areas or "No Vehicles Allowed" signs. Strips will be mowed in the sunflowers at two different times during the last two weeks of August.
Scouting is encouraged for best hunting results.
Non-Toxic Shot is Required on all managed dove fields
All Hunters must be "checked in" on iSportman prior to hunting.
All hunters must complete an annual registration with ISportsman online at kdwpt.isportsman.net. Once registered, hunters are required to "check-in" prior to hunting and "check-out" after hunting on Milford Wildlife Area. A toll free phone number may also be used to check-in and check-out 1-844-500-0825. Youth hunters are required to register and "check-in" and "check-out" using their own accounts and can not use an adult's account.
Due to frequent flooding of the Republican river and high lake levels in Milford during the growing season, the natural vegetation growth has been reduced in Mall Creek, Beichter, Cane Creek refuge and the lower refuge as the water never fully drained from these areas. They are currently full and slats were put in to hold what water we can but if the river or lake go down we will most likely have exposed mud in these areas.
North Smith- the agricultural crops were flooded out early in the year, millet and milo were planted but were also partially flooded out in a later flood event, plan to start pumping in October
Lower Smith- natural vegetation looks good, area has held water during the growing season and has reduced seed production, plan to start pumping at the end of September
Mall Creek- summer floods kept this wetland full all season, mostly open water with some good natural vegetation around the edges, very little seed production expected
Quimby Creek wetland-Both north and south pools have a small amount of water in them from rainfall, soybeans and some millet will be flooded prior to duck season, plan to start pumping in October
Zach Hudec- the lower half of the cells were flooded out this summer and have grown up into desirable vegetation, north half was replanted to corn, plan to pump in October
West Broughton Youth/Mentor Area-the area was flooded out several times during the growing season but some desirable vegetation has grown and millet was planted, plan to pump in October, new pump was installed in early October
Beichter Bottom- this area held high water all summer which has significantly reduced the vegetation growth and seed production, plan to pump in October-pump was repaired in October
Martin Bottom- agricultural crops were flooded out early in the growing season, millets were planted and desirable vegetation has also produced good seed, plan to pump in October-pump was repaired in October
New Youth/Mentor area signage
New signs have been posted on the West Broughton Youth/Mentor Area. The area will now be designated for "any and all uses" to be strictly Youth/Mentor Only. Previous posting included "hunting" only and has caused some confusion on what activities were permitted. By broadening the definition we hope to get back to the original intent of the area when it was designated 10+ years ago. Regardless of what activity you are participating in on this area one youth age 17 or younger must be present per mentor age 18 or older.
Examples: hunting, trapping, fishing, game cameras, setting stands or blinds, scouting, etc.
18 prescribed spring burns were conducted between February and April this year totaling approximately 1,800 acres. We were fortunate to be able to limit the size of most of the burn areas to 100 acres or less and spread the burned areas throughout the wildlife area. This will provide good brood rearing habitat near nesting habitat in many locations this year as well as provide more desirable nesting habitat in the next couple of years on the grasslands that were burned this spring. Prescribed fire is used as a habitat management tool to reduce woody invasion of trees and shrubs in native grass stands, minimize invasive grass species such as brome and promote fire tolerant desirable tree species in timber stands, all without using herbicides.
West Broughton Youth Mentor Area:
The wetland pump has become increasingly inefficient these past several years and plans are being made to either repair or replace it by the fall of 2015. Plans are also being made to implement stream bank stabilization along two stretches of the river bank bordering the south edge of the Youth/Mentor Area. Engineers are working on these plans and permits need to be attained prior to starting the work. If everything comes together in a timely manner and conditions are favorable we hope to do both the pump work and stream bank stabilization late this summer.
Beichter Stationary Pump Repairs Needed:
The stationary pump used to fill both Martin Bottom and Beichter wetlands quit working late in the 2014/2015 pumping season. At a minimum, a bearing will need to be replaced but larger repairs are expected once the pump is opened up to reveal the cause of the bearing going out. Bids will be taken and every effort will be made to have the pump repaired prior to the 2015 duck season.
Mall Creek Wetland:
Rock will need to be hauled in to repair some erosion on the spillway near the water control structure as well as expand the area that was repaired in 2012 to aide in management access and water retention. Plans are also being made to continue the bank stabilization project that was started in 2012.
Efforts are being made to improve the quality of our timber stands. Chainsaws,herbicides, prescribed fire and mulching/mowing are being used in various areas to reduce undesirable tree species (Locust, elm, hackberry, cedar) and promote desirable species (Oak, walnut, hickory). We recently completed some work near North Smith, Mall Creek, Quimby Creek and Beichter Bottom. Undesirable trees were cut or girdled and left standing. Several other timber stands, particularly creek drainages, have been targeted as areas in need of improvement. In many areas, the majority of our desirable trees such as oaks are dying out or being shaded out by undesirable tree species. Oaks are not a shade tolerate species meaning they require some sunlight to grow. Many of the areas where TSI has been done will look pretty bare for the first several years until the seedlings develop into young trees. In the meantime, the downed trees and increased growth of the understory will provide cover for many wildlife species including deer and turkeys.
The West Broughton Youth/Mentor area recently had some dirt work completed in anticipation of a functioning pump by next season. Several new culverts were installed to aide in the movement of both flood waters and pumped water. Stream bank stabilization projects are being designed to most likely install river weirs to reduce the stream bank erosion along two stretches of the river bordering the youth/mentor area. If designs are completed and permits attained we plan to complete at least the stretch near the pump late this summer.
A water control structure was installed on Beichter Bottom in August to allow for water to be held providing more floodable acres.
During March of 2014, the rock removal and stream bank stabilization project resumed and was completed the first week of April. The boat ramp and parking area was reopened for public use on April 4th. The stream bank both upstream and downstream of the boat ramp was armored to prevent future erosion using rock that was hammered out of the bluff to provide a larger parking area to better accommodate all users including those pulling boat trailers. Sixteen parking curbs have been installed to better facilitate the parking in, what was a very congested area. The stream bank downstream of the boat ramp was reshaped making the area more accessible for bank fishing.
Handicapped Vehicle Access Permits Available For Two Designated Areas on Milford Wildlife Area
Both areas will remain open to regular public hunting but will also be available for handicapped vehicle access by special permit.
A valid state issued handicapped permit and a permit from Milford Wildlife Area is required.
Please call the Milford Wildlife Area office for more information 785-461-5402.
North Area: Southwest of 13th Road and Rainbow Road Intersection
South Area: Northeast of Ava Road and Rebecca Road Intersection
Year-Round Prescribed Burning
The Milford Wildlife Area will be conducting prescribed burns throughout the year. The timing of these burns varies according to our management goals for each burn. Overall, we aim to control/reduce woody invasion, noxious weeds and promote more forbs in our grass stands to provide better brood rearing and nesting habitat for upland game birds and provide other benefits to many wildlife species.
Resprouting Hedgerows
Over the past several years we have been cutting mature hedgerows in hopes of promoting new growth that will offer a good quality of cover for numerous wildlife species, particularly upland birds. We will move around the area periodically to cut hedgerows to promote various stages of vegetation growth on these hedgerows. Firewood permits are required to cut any dead AND down wood and are available free of charge by calling our office at 785-461-5402. Firewood is for personal use only and may not be sold for profit. Vehicles are not allowed off of maintained roads or inside gates or "no vehicles allowed" signs. Trees will be piled along roadways where practical.
New Gates and Parking Areas
Numerous gates and parking areas have been and will continue to be constructed on the area. These parking areas are meant to provide a safe area to park vehicles off of roadways while visiting the area. Several dead end roads have been closed, some may be open seasonally as posted from March 1-October 1 unless posted otherwise. The primary objective of installing the gates is to improve the overall integrity of the wildlife area by restricting vehicle access. These gates should not only improve constituents wildlife interactions, they will also reduce the high volume of trash, off-road vehicle use, poaching and vandalism that has occurred on the area in the past. The Steve Lloyd upper and lower refuge is closed to all activities year round, while the rest of the Wildlife Area is open to foot traffic within the gated areas.

text: Okay, I know there will be a toooon of chuckles and all out screams of laughter at this question...but bear with me. I'm new to knitting. I actually taught myself to knit from this website. (I use that verrrry loosely as I pretty much only know how to make the basic scarf, and still need reminders on the cast-on/bind-off.) Anyway, what on earth are stitch markers and row counters? I'm assuming they're for following a pattern, which I'd like to learn how to do. And until hearing about counters/markers, that seemed like a really daunting endeavor. That and learning all the abbreviations. There should be some college course for knitting :lol:

27.08.2008 - Oris is the racetrack superstar
The glaring afternoon sun beats down on the track. The drivers wait anxiously in their seats, poised for action. Each believes that he can win here today, fulfil his destiny and be crowned the best of the best. F1? No, it's the 2008 Oris Go-Kart Championship!
Hosted at Sepang, the Malaysian Grand Prix Go-Kart circuit in Kuala Lumpur, the "Racetrack Superstar" event has become a highlight in the calendars of journalists and Oris' guests from Malaysia and Singapore. This year's event was timed to coincide with the launch of the new Oris WilliamsF1 Team collection watches.
The new Day Date and Chronograph models were on display as the drivers took to the track for the ten lap team endurance race. Ten teams of ten battled it out for top spot.
With the track temperature exceeding 40°C as the afternoon wore on it was an intense competition. The eventual winners cooled down on the podium afterwards with a traditional F1 style champagne shower.
Paul Phua, General Manager of Oris' Malaysian affiliate Swiss Prestige, commented: "Oris has worked with the AT&T Williams Formula One team designers to produce F1 inspired watches since our partnership began five years ago. Today we've given our guests the opportunity to see and work with the new Oris Williams collection, to experience the thrill of F1 and to feel like a Racetrack Superstar!"

Firearms in 4E
4E is probably one of the easiest editions of D&D to have blackpowder firearms in.
Let's see:
Blackpowder pistol * Simple Ranged Weapon
cost: 50 gp
Damage: 1d8

About as "realistic" as I feel like getting with firearms in D&D.
First: Yes, they're simple weapons - the reason firearms became popular almost immediately upon invention is that, unlike bows or even crossbows, they didn't require much training. (The rifle being an exception - I would say in the hands of an untrained user it should count as a musket). This despite firearms not improving on a trained bowman or crossbowman until rather late, historically-speaking. They're also handier and easier to transport (though that's not really an issue in D&D per se), and the ammo is much less bulky.
Lack of proficiency bonus should balance out the targeting of a NAD.
Damage deliberately modeled on that of a crossbow and longbow; ranges deliberately shortened. I want these to be options, not must-haves. Goal is to make them interesting, especially for certain types of characters. Specifically, the rogue clause allows for pirates built on Rogue class

I don't really like the Load Special. Saying that a gun can't be reloaded mid-battle seems way too artificial. Load Standard is my preferred approach. It is still enough of a penalty to get people to carry multiple guns.
On the other hand, saying that a gun counts as a crossbow is something that I would do myself. However, your wording is too awkward. What about any class powers that are dependent on crossbow use that are not rogue powers? It would be clearer if you just put guns in the crossbow weapon group (they are currently lacking a weapon group anyways).
Final score: 2/5. Needs more work.

Remember when 4E was first announced (and that Thor and other gods would be in it) and someone asked if firearms would be in the DMG... and the reply was no, they'd be in the PHB. That means the rules are out there, and they just haven't found a home for them yet. An article on 4E GIFF would be a great place to combine a firearms article for Dragon...Originally Posted by Filcher

I figured I'd add to this thread. I have a mini-CS coming out soon for 4th edition; Scarrport, City of Secrets, and it has some steampunk elements and makes use of Firearms. The guy who wrote these rules is Greg Tito, who also co-wrote Forgotten heroes: Fang Fist and Song
From the text:
"Babel Springstep was the first to introduce a weapon that used small explosions to propel projectiles into an opponent at great distances. At first, his weapons were unpredictable and difficult to aim. But experimentation in the Craftwerks with different sized tubes and strange new propellants have resulted in a weapon that can be effective in the chaos of the battlefield. Watching children twist a ball while throwing it gave Babel Springtep a vital clue to providing the accuracy necessary and his rifled barrels are highly sought after. The crafty gremlin would like to one day mass-produce these weapons in his factories but, for now, each pistol needs to be handmade.
Loading the firearms with bullets, however, is still a tedious affair and takes several moments away from contending with the foe. Only the quickest duelists have learned to reload their firearms and make them as effective as a crossbow. These adventurers are, oddly enough, also the some of the only individuals able to afford the expensive firearms.
Firearms can be used with a basic ranged attack as well as any ranged weapon power. All firearms have a special power that can be used once per encounter, as long as they are loaded during a short rest. This special power represents a well packed and loaded shot and is able to do significantly more damage than a standard ranged weapon. Once fired, the special power renders the firearm unusable for the rest of the encounter.
Firearms may not be enchanted with magic item properties, but they can be crafted with an inherent enhancement bonus. For example, you cannot buy or craft a Thunderburst Springstep Pistol, but you can buy or craft a Springstep Pistol +5 for 625,000 gp.
Ammunition for pistols and rifles are different and more expensive than arrows or bolts. There is no special ammunition that can impart higher damage. Firearms require special tools, brushes and oils to load and maintain the weapon. Any extended rest in which you do not have access to a firearm kit, you have cumulative -1 penalty to hit with the weapon."
Sample Weapons:
Standard Pistol (+1 to +6) Level 3+
The brushed steel of this weapon has a dull gleam which can terrify your opponents.
Lvl 3 +1 680 gp Lvl 18 +4 85,000 gp
Lvl 8 +2 3,400 gp Lvl 23 +5 425,000 gp

Critical Hit: +1d6 damage per plus
Power (Encounter): Standard action. Attack one creature within 20 Squares: Dexterity + 2 vs. AC; 2d8 + Dexterity modifier damage.
(Level 13-18): Increase attack bonus to +4 and increase damage to 3d8 + Dexterity modifier damage.
(Level 23-28): Increase attack bonus to +6 and increase damage to 4d10 + Dexterity modifier damage.
Standard Rifle (+1 to +6) Level 3+
Many of the Red Guard carry this weapon as standard equipment in Scarrport.
Lvl 3 +1 680 gp Lvl 18 +4 85,000 gp
Lvl 8 +2 3,400 gp Lvl 23 +5 425,000 gp
Lvl 13 +3 17,000 gp Lvl 28 +6 2,125,000 gp
Weapon: Firearm
Enhancement: Attack rolls and damage rolls

(Level 23-28): Increase attack bonus to +6 and increase damage to 5d10 + Dexterity modifier damage

A) Too many "Special" case exceptions to rules. Personally, I hate them. They muddle the rules, and are troublesome to keep track of.
B) Proficiency as a simple weapon. Remember, anyone can use any weapon. You just don't get the Proficiency bonus to attack, if you aren't. It makes the weapon more meaningful, if you the character has to sacrifice a feat or two to get the full benefit of the weapon.
C) Realistic Shmealistic. This is D&D.
Consider these...
Weapon: Pistol
Prof: +2
Hnd: 1H
Dmg: 1d8
Rng: 15/30
Price: 50 gp
Wght: 2 lb.
Group: Firearms
Properties: Load move, high crit
Weapon: Musket
Prof: +2
Hnd: 2H
Dmg: 1d10
Rng: 30/60
Price: 75 gp
Wght: 4 lb.
Group: Firearms
Properties: Load move, high crit
Firearm cartridges (10) 1 gp
MUSKETEER [Rogue]
Prerequisite: Dex 13, rogue
Benefit: For the purposes of powers and feats, firearms count as crossbows.
They are both about a half step up from the equivalent crossbows. The prices are expensive, but not prohibitive for 1st level characters. The single feat allows for gunslinger rogues, without special rules for the weapon itself. The weapon proficiency bonus and the high-crit property can be considered the "armor piercing" side of firearms.
I'd make them a superior ranged weapon, since they require a specialized knowledge and a reasonable amount of practice when it comes to caring for the weapon, loading it, and firing it without flinching.The Pbartender

In a system where you can reload, aim, and fire a freaking longbow at someone anywhere between right in front of you to five hundred yards away and hit them at ease in the space of six seconds, I never understood the need to make guns suck for "realism" purposes.

Powder ( and fuss with the cork..) > bullet > ramrod > tamptamptamp > re-stow ramrod > cock is um.. One can't really picture that quickly. Especialy when one must spend two actions in order to switch wands...

Realistic Shmealistic. This is D&D.
If the game can have repeating crossbows and glo-sticks... *AHEM!* ...I mean, sunrods as mundane items on the basic equipment list, there's no reason pre-made paper cartridges can't be the standard for flintlock muzzle-loaders.
Paper cartridges, as in a lead ball and a measured amount of gunpowder rolled up in a slip of paper like short, fat cigarette.
Heck, forget flintlocks and wheellocks... This is D&D! We've got magic! Make them magiclock firearms! Prestidigitation, an at-will cantrip, can light small fires. This exceptionally minor enchantment can be what sets off the gunpowder charge when you pull the trigger. All you have to do is shove the paper cartridge full of powder and lead down the barrel, aim and pull the trigger. That's no worse than reloading a hand-cranked or lever-action crossbow, I'd say.
Let's be honest... If you're going to jerk around with ball and powder and multiple rounds to reload the stupid things, who's going to bother using them in the game?The Pbartender

Pbartender I love the idea of using prestidigitation to fire gunpowder weapons. It does make them more reliable than historically and now you can use them in the wet as the primer pan cannot get wet. Makes for some interesting campaign and setting implications.

Jim Jones' Musical Returns To The Stage
XXLMag.com has learned that the Dipset Capo's play Hip Hop Monologues: Inside the Life & Mind of Jim Jones is returning and it will be re-opening later this month, this time open to the general public.
The musical, which premiered last November for only two-days for a select group of media, is coming back to New York City for five nights. Written, directed and produced by J. Kyle Manzay, in association with Sony and Damon Dash, the show follows Jones as he returns to his Harlem hometown after becoming a star. Connecting with important figures from his past, the rapper is forced to make a life altering decision.
Backed by a live band lead by SA-RA's Om'Mas Keith, Jones will perform several tracks from his upcoming major label debut Pray IV Reign – the inspiration behind the script.
Monologues returns to Manhattan's 37 Arts Theatre starting on Tuesday, March 24th – the day Jones' new album hits stores – until Friday, March 27th. Tickets for the show are on sale now at ticketmaster.com. – Elan Mancini

Sarah Foster, a senior at the University of Pennsylvania, has been awarded a Winston Churchill Scholarship, a merit-based award for American college students who are outstanding in engineering, mathematics, and physical and biological sciences, and who wish to further their academic careers by studying at the University of Cambridge, where she will live at Churchill College.
Foster, of Ohio, is pursuing a triple major in Physics, Biochemistry, and Biophysics as well as a MS in Chemistry at Penn. She is a Vagelos Scholar, was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa as a Junior, and won the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship in 2013.
"Sarah Foster exemplifies the multidisciplinary student who will be making key advances in science in coming decades. She is knitting together whole-organism research in Biology, the abstract mathematical approaches to nature found in advanced Physics classes, and everything in between," said Dr. Philip Nelson, Professor of Biophysics.
Foster is one of only 14 U.S. students awarded Churchill Scholarships this year and is the 7th Churchill Scholar from Penn since the program's inception in 1963 and the first in ten years.
Additional information about the Winston Churchill Scholarship program is available at http://www.winstonchurchillfoundation.org/ or at the Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships.

Coping with cerebral palsy is a challenge in a family. One way of coping with cerebral palsy is showing affection to the child with CP. A child with disabilities needs love just like any other child. A child with disabilities should be loved by his/her sisters.
© Photographer: Jarenwicklund | Agency: Dreamstime.com
Children with disabilities should be loved by brothers.
Children should be given love and should not be frightened of the parents. In our setting, there are several ways of frightening a child. Sometimes children are beaten or food is denied just because a child has "misbehaved". This impacts negatively on a child.
I have heard of some parents who have been nicknamed after some dictators because of their behaviour towards children. I have heard nick names such as Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Iron Lady and Joseph Stalin. The parents are nicknamed because of their dictatorial tendencies in the home. These parents prescribe what is right or wrong for the children without the participation of the children in decision making.

In a home, we need some form of democracy just like in the community at large. In a democratic set up, the head of household is able to invite family members to share ideas and to bring out talents of every individual member of the family. When there is democracy in a home there is respect for others, freedom of speech and respect for other peoples' opinions.
As parents we have encouraged positive feedback on our children. When the children are wrong, we explain to them in calm manner that what they have done is wrong and encourage them to do the correct things. My wife and I, we agree together when giving punishment or giving permission to our children.
As parents we have helped our children to identify their talents and we are helping them to nurture these gifts.

Vampires Don't Sparkle: Jesse Blaze Snider on Dead Romeo
Jesse Blaze Snider on Dead Romeo
Newsarama: Zombies have been--
Jesse Blaze Snider: Hey before we start I have a short statement to make…
Friend, Ramas, Comic Geeks, lend me your ears!
PLEASE, do NOT prejudge this book on the first sentence of the solicitation copy. This book has NOTHING in COMMON with Anne Rice's "Queen of the Damned." That was about a Vampire who is a ROCKSTAR, Dead Romeo is just a rock musician, who died and was never famous. He could have been a Vampire/Plumber and not a single panel of this book would have changed.
I know that some people have had reservations about the "rocker" thing, but let me explain that I only made him an "80's Rocker" for two reasons. First, so I could dress him up in some cool clothes and second because I am a rocker and you should always write what you know. I didn't even have the "lead singer of a band" thing in the original solicitation for the book, DC added it afterward, because they thought it was a plus. But I knew that some of you vamp fans would scream "Shenanigans!" And "Unoriginal."
This book is about SEVEN very EVIL VAMPIRES from HELL who are willing to do ANYTHING to ensure that they never have to go back to HELL. And about the two people (Dead Romeo and Whisper) who stand contrary to their position desperately trying to escape from them with their lives!
Give it a shot, 'cause Ryan Benjamin and myself have poured our hearts and souls into making it great.
Sorry, you were saying?
NRAMA: Ahem… Zombies have been top of the horror heap for a while, but with True Blood on HBO and (gulp) Twilight in theaters, it seems Vampires are ripe for a comeback. What's the appeal of Vampires in specific for you?
For me, I just love the fact that every Vampire is essentially Wolverine; you just can't kill these guys that easily. In Dead Romeo we really explore the vampire healing factor thing. My hypothesis is that a vampire can heal from anything as long as he can feed. So a vamp with blood in his system is good to go, but take away the blood and they are just as f'ed as you or I.
And trust me when I say, that our lead character is going to have plenty to heal from!
NRAMA: Vampires aren't as common and well established in the DCU as they are in Marvel's universe. They made a recent appearance in the Superman/Batman vs. Vampires/Werewolves last fall, and Brother Blood is something of a Vampire, but are otherwise not too common. Why establish this as a DCU story?
JBS: DC Editorial realized that Giffen had vamps showing up in Reign in Hell and in a number of other places and felt that it was the right time to give vampires a go. Specifically, they wanted to test the waters for a vampire/romance.
Now, I think that that is all well and good, but I am personally tired of Vampire tales that are geared towards women that neuter the Vampires of any real…scariness? I mean, vampires in Anne Rice and Twilight are very rarely frightening. At the same time, there isn't much heart and soul in From Dusk 'Til Dawn. While I realize that that is how the boys prefer it, I don't see why we can't do both.
That is exactly what I have tried to do with Dead Romeo. A vampire book that appeals to both men and women at the same time, while never loosing either audience. I guess I will find out how successful I was very soon.
JBS: Sure. But I wouldn't really want to see Romeo hanging out with Superman. I'd prefer him on the run from the Spectre or fighting El Diablo. He could definitely interact with Batman though, that might be cool. Basically the shinier the hero gets, the more I want Romeo to stay away from them.
NRAMA: The tagline for the book is "Not every love story has a happy ending." Does that necessarily mean this one will end in sadness?
JBS: Well, I am not a fan of the completely and utter unhappy ending. But yes, I wouldn't expect a "they lived happily ever after" on the last page of this book. It says right there in the solicitation, either he kills Whisper and earns his release from Hell or he protects her and burns for eternity. Only one of them can get a happy ending and its definitely not going to be Romeo.
NRAMA: The characters here, including the titular one, are released from Hell. Is that linked to DC's Reign in Hell miniseries, or just a happy coincidence?
JBS: I guess it is just a happy coincidence. Though I believe that when DC Editorial saw that there were Vampires in Hell in the book, they said we should do a book about vampires from Hell. At that point they called me up and asked me to pitch them something. I pitched Dead Romeo.
NRAMA: What general Vampire mythos are you subscribing to here? What abilities/weaknesses do they have? They're coming from hell, so are they evil to their core?
JBS: I only use some things, but I don't really contradict any of the things I don't use. Over the course of the series you will see vampires with enhanced strength, speed, endurance and healing abilities. You will see vampires fly and be afraid of and burned by the sun. You will see silver used as a weakness and…I think that's about it.
I did add two things though. I decided that vampires could feed on the blood in another vampire. And since in my book the vampires need blood to survive and in order to heal, feeding on a vampire is kind of the one sure way to take him down. So, I did that and I've never seen that done before, but maybe it has been.
NRAMA: You've said you'd really like this to appeal to both men and women. What are you doing specifically in the book to bring women into it?
JBS: Well, at the center of the book is a love story. Romeo's entire motivation springs from love. Love from his past and a new love, which is blossoming throughout the series. Love is at the heart of the book, but it is not going to slow us down or tone us down, it is just the driving force. And I think that is really all that the ladies need; A reason to care. As long as they have that they are along for the ride. The men need the horror, the gore, the scares and we've got plenty of that as well.
NRAMA: I like writers to close out with a specific moment, panel, scene, whatever that they are personally really excited about. So anywhere in the series, what's one bit that you can't wait for readers to see, without spoiling anything too much?
JBS: Well, the first issue is set up and as a fledgling writer, I think I made my fair share of mistakes (Mostly with cramming too many panels on certain pages.), but as the book gets going I learned and improved a lot and there are really a lot of great scares and I'm really excited for issue 4. We come off of one of my favorite cliffhangers and end on my other favorite. But maybe I should be more specific….
Issue one sets the stage for the series and issue two is all out action from beginning to end, as all seven of the Hollywood Vampires (Our Bad guys) get a chance to shine, as they slowly and painfully tear Romeo apart. In 22 pages Romeo will be shot full of holes, tackled out a window and fall 10 stories, loose an eye, ear, leg, arm and some fingers and worse! Issue two is gonna be a lot of fun and it's gonna make everyone question exactly how Romeo and Whisper are going to live a full 6 issues!
If you like the first issue, you will love every issue after it! I promise!

Vehicle fee cut cruises through Senate Bill would throw 2009 tax hike in reverse
SEBRING - Faced with a $6 billion deficit, the 2009 Florida Legislature increased 106 motor vehicle registration fees. "Those fees had not been raised in 10, 15 or 20 years," said then-Rep. Denise Grimsley, R-Sebring. However, Floridians were furious. Before the tax increase took effect, the late Tax Collector Charles Bryan resisted Tallahassee by encouraging Highlands County citizens to pay two years of fees at the old rate. Thousands responded, but Bryan estimated that the state would nevertheless collect an additional $5.5 million from Highlands County alone. Eric Zwayer, who replaced Bryan in 2010, said some fees zoomed up 100 percent or more: "People are surprised and shocked at how much it costs to put a vehicle on the road. Taxpayers are having a hard time paying."Sensing voter anger, a few legislators have tried ever since to repeal the unpopular tax increase. The drive to remove about half of the unpopular 2009 hike on vehicle-registration fees got a quick green light in its first hearing Wednesday. The Senate Transportation Committee unanimously backed SB 156 by Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, to reduce each vehicle registration an average $12. "This bill is very simple," Negron said. It doesn't carry the baggage that led to a similar measure's demise last year. Rather than eliminating a tax break that the politically influential insurance industry enjoyed by the since the 1980s, the revised proposal now takes the money from general revenue. "I am very supportive of any effort to reduce fees, especially registration fees as it is an annual expense to our residents," Zwayer said Thursday. However, it will eliminate revenues for the state: legislative staff projected $182 million during the next budget year, growing to $239 million the following year and $244 million a year later. The rollback ultimately may cost money to Zwayer's office, but he supported it anyway: "At this point, the fiscal impact to our office is unclear, but because of the potential benefit to the citizens we serve, our office will adjust accordingly." State Rep. Cary Pigman, R-Avon Park, isn't sure yet: "I support some relief... I urge caution, however, as a large portion of this coming fiscal year's possible budget surplus includes non-recurring items." Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, supported the cut in a release after the committee meeting: "I'm confident that 2014 will be the year we can finally make this tax relief a reality for every Floridian who drives a car. And I'm hopeful this legislation will be the foundation of a 2014 tax relief package that will benefit hard-working Floridians across our state." Grimsley, now a state senator on the appropriations committee, is supporting the 2013 measure as well: "We can provide a direct savings to Florida drivers at a time when costs are rising for nearly everyone. We have a projected surplus in general revenue and I can't think of a better way to spend those dollars than by turning them back to taxpayers." The Senate proposal still has stops in the Appropriations Committee, which Negron chairs, and the Transportation, Tourism, and Economic Development Appropriations Subcommittee. The House version, HB 61, has been assigned to the Finance and Tax Subcommittee, the Transportation and Highway Safety Subcommittee and the Appropriations Committee.

Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls has been struck by another scandal, after four students were expelled and three others suspended, for alleged sexual misconduct. Learn more about the story, plus see pictures and video here.
Oprah Winfrey's Leadership Academy for Girls is in disarray after seven students were suspended for "inappropriate behaviors," that allegedly may of included sexual misconduct.
This is the second scandal the school has been hit with over the last two years. The first was after a 27-year-old dorm matron for the school was arrested, and fired from her job after allegedly assaulting and abusing six students.
Reports indicate that four students were expelled, and three others suspended for alleged sexual misconduct.
Lisa Halliday the Academies spokeswoman commented on the situation saying:
"Several students were expelled last week for violating the Leadership Academy's code of conduct. We consider this to be a confidential school matter; therefore, we will not confirm any personal information or disclose any details related to these expulsions."
Oprah Winfrey told E! News:
"Indiscretions resulting in disciplinary action are common in schools all over the world. Unfortunately, because of my name these common infractions place the Academy in the media spotlight. As each of the girls enrolled, she agreed to adhere to the school's Honor Code and code of conduct policy, which values personal integrity and ensures an environment of shared trust and community."
Then she elaborated on her previous statement saying:
"It's disheartening when any student has to be suspended or expelled and it's a process that involves serious review and consideration. We will not tolerate a violation of school policy and dishonesty. We insist on maintaining a campus environment that commands mutual respect, fosters academic excellence and encourages learners to fulfill their best potential."
The charitable talk-show host has donated over $40 million to The Leadership Academy, since the school opened in January, 2007.

— July 23, 2012
It's pretty bad. The negative points include 70's era animation and sexism, and some weak stories. Also, basically any time it tried to be funny. Each episode is only 30 min (well, more like 22), which is also a negative, when compared with the pacing of TOS episodes. Contains a number of the weakest Trek elements in action, notably the first stuck-in-the-holodeck and transporters fixing everything but only for the end-of-episode reset. There is a time travel episode, too, but that one was pretty good. The positive points are the benefits of animation: the two new bridge officers are non-human (tailed furry, 3 limbed orange guy), every new alien race is not humanoid (birds, slugs, Satan (really)). The Klingons are still the non-head-bump variety, though. Some of the effects are better. The ship designs are more varied, and more of them.
Probably of interest only to a serious Star Trek fan. TAS is officially canon material, so despite a number of issues, like Federation ships easily crossing the galaxy and a lot of basic science issues, the hard-core nerd will need to see it. Or SpockxChapel shippers.
I hope the automatic doors picked up on M'Ress' tail.

Kristy Katrina Sinclair Skinner was peacefully released from this world on Saturday, Dec. 13, 2008.
Her family that remains here are her children, Jaylee and Sinclair; her nephew, Louie; her niece, Tuesday Grace; and her sister, Frosty. The loved ones that had previously gone ahead of her are her father, Hank Sinclair, her mother Nancy Hesterly Sinclair and her beautiful sister, Summer.
To sum up her life in a few simple words, she was a fascinating person and had a beautiful talent of being a very unique and gifted artist.
In lieu of flowers, it would be wonderful to take a moment to say an extra kind word to someone down on their luck or to give some spare change to someone who might be hungry or homeless, or both.
She will be missed more than she could possibly imagine. Her spirit, however, along with her stories and adventures, will be in our hearts forever. Its wonderful to know that she is now a beautiful and free spirit and that she is at peace while soaring with the eagles up to the Heavens.
Thos. Shepherd & Son Funeral Directors and Cremation Memorial Center is assisting the family.

"Kato"(Takahiko)has arrived safely. And what an eerie, mysterious, almost forbidding work it is! It seems as if it has a secret that may not be easy to solve. Perhaps it would be better this way. I just hope that familiarity won't dull the wonder I feel. Of all the non-traditional form artists I have seen at your e-gallery, Kato (Takahiko) impresses me the most. Thank you Mark

Robert Yellin's Blog
Japanesepottery.com (this site) offers hundreds of ceramic pieces for online purchase, and its eStore Pages are updated almost daily. But if you want more, if you want regular updates on Japan's ceramic scene, please bookmark Yellin's Blog Page. It serves as Yellin's personal diary and photo dictionary. It allows site readers to travel along with Robert as he visits Japan's top artists and kilns or talks with up-and-coming potters.
Gallery Tour
Both this site and our sister site (e-yakimono.net) work out of the same gallery. I thought since not many of you can visit our gallery here in Kyoto, I'd post a few photos showing the displays we have. So much visual nourishment for the senses... do stop by if you're in this neck of the bamboo forest!
