On Feb. 26, 1993, a grim-faced U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings appeared on television to announce Charleston's Naval Base, shipyard and other local installations were on the Pentagon's hit list for base closure.
To mark the 20th anniversary of that announcement, Hollings, 91, who retired from the Senate in 2004, sat for a question-and-answer session with Post and Courier reporter Schuyler Kropf to discuss that era. Hollings' comments are edited for brevity and clarity.
Q: Take us back to that time period. What do you remember about Congress' mind set when it came to the decline in national defense needs and the end of the Cold War?
A: "We were always trying to protect the installations back home. That's the honest truth," he said. But the senator added the cordiality of the Senate made it easy for the members with close working relationships — both Democratic and Republican — to horse-trade if there was a problem.
It was also before the Pentagon's base closure was taken out of politicians' hands and turned over to an independent commission to decide.
Q: You grew up in Charleston and saw the base and shipyard churn out the ships that fought in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and beyond. How much of it was a "golden goose" for the Lowcountry in terms of being the right industry at the right place and right time?
A: "A big engine. There wasn't any doubt about it." He called the base and shipyard the region's "bread and butter."
"You had to get a job? You went to the Navy Yard because that was the only employer around."
Charleston "had a little bit of a paper mill starting. But there wasn't much industry in North Charleston."
Q: Do you have a particular memory of some of the work you saw there?
A: From a politician's standpoint, Hollings, who also had served in the Legislature and as governor, said he remembered "the Navy Yard votes" — a reference to the thousands of people who walked through the gates every day.
"The Navy didn't vote," he said of the thousands of sailors who were only temporarily stationed here.
"But all the employees did, and their families did."
The Navy Yard was Charleston's "tourism" dependency, he said, before tourism became so vital.
Q: When word came down that Charleston was pegged for closure, what were your first thoughts?
A: "Disaster." Hollings was able to get an early look at the "hit list" of bases the Defense Department was marking for closure from what he identified as a friendly source in the Pentagon. At the time, Hollings was criticized by some who said he didn't know what he was talking about, and others who refused to believe the Navy would scrap 100 years of history.
"I was telling the truth," he said.
Q: It had to play on your mind that tens of thousands of jobs were disappearing. Did images of unemployment, shuttered factories and empty homes in the vein of Detroit enter your mind?
A: "No, I knew it couldn't close down that quick."
Q: For all the efforts to save the base from closure, was it really that illogical a choice to close Charleston? Was it unfair?
A: "I think it was a right decision, in hindsight."
Q: What are your thoughts on the recovery since then, and how the site has transformed?
A: Hollings remains upbeat on the businesses that have been recruited to fill space there, along with the State Ports Authority's expansion at the southern end. But he said the saving grace to the region is the presence of SPAWAR, the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center situated at the Naval Weapons Station. The site is staffed by a large number of highly skilled, high-paying positions.
"It's bigger than the Charleston Navy Yard," he said. "It's not crews that are passing through that have got bank accounts back home. Their bank accounts are here."
Q: Finally, what does South Carolina have going for it now in terms of contributing to the national defense?
A: Outside of local Charleston bases, he listed Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter and the Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island. But he still remains high on SPAWAR.
"The Navy running SPAWAR is bigger and better than the Navy running the Navy Yard," he said. "It's more jobs and it's permanent jobs."
Former Senator Fritz Hollings talks about the former Charleston Naval Base Monday February 11, 2013 and the progress the shipyard has made since the base closing. (Grace Beahm/postandcourier.com)×

Following the Oscars, the Family Guy creator hosted 500 people at an after-party at the Lot in West Hollywood.
Accompanied by a 100-piece orchestra, MacFarlane performed a few numbers for guests including "Someday."
While attendees indulged in cocktails named after Family Guy characters, MacFarlane chatted up Charlize Theron, an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
"He spent most of the time talking to Charlize and laughing," the source adds. "Most others just went by to shake hands and make small talk."
Aside from Theron, other guests included Steven Tyler, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Glee's Matthew Morrison, Darren Criss, Chord Overstreet and Harry Shum Jr., the Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev, Twilight's Peter Facinelli and more.

Nonroad Engines, Equipment, and Vehicles
Snowmobiles, Dirt Bikes, and ATVs
August 1, 2014: EPA withdrew its approval of the import and sale of over 28,000 gas-powered highway and off-road motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles because the agency believes that it received either incomplete or falsified certification information. All vehicles imported into or manufactured in the United States are required to have certificates of conformity. EPA issued the vehicle certificates from 2007 to 2011 to CFMoto. As a result of a lengthy investigation, the agency believes that the applications for the certificates contained fallacious information and must be voided. This notice follows actions in April 2013 and October 2013 in which EPA voided certificates from Snyder Computer Systems dba Wildfire Motors, American Lifan and Jonway which impacted up to 70,000; 61,000; and 39,000 vehicles, respectively. The applications were submitted by Michael Johnson of System Launch Associates who has pled guilty to wire fraud and submitting false statements under the Clean Air Act and is currently awaiting sentencing.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Sixteen former Grand Rapids Griffins players are set to experience the Stanley Cup Final, thanks to the Detroit Red Wings' 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars on Monday night and their 4-2 series victory in the Western Conference Final.
Among those Grand Rapids alumni are 15 members of the Red Wings. Eight have already seen action during the playoffs, including young NHL stars such as Niklas Kronwall, Jiri Hudler and Valtteri Filppula, and four spent time with the Griffins in 2007-08, including Darren McCarty, Darren Helm, Mark Hartigan and Derek Meech.
Detroit will face the Pittsburgh Penguins for the right to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup, starting with Saturday's Game 1 at Joe Louis Arena. The Penguins, who defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 in the Eastern Conference Final, have one former Griffin on their team in defenseman Mark Eaton, who is currently on injured reserve.
Three players have gone on to win a Stanley Cup after playing for the Griffins: Carolina's Kevyn Adams in 2006, and Tampa Bay's Dmitry Afanasenkov and Darren Rumble in 2004. Following are brief capsules of the current Red Wings who will try to join that illustrious list.
D Niklas Kronwall – Now: The fearsome hitter leads all NHL defensemen with 12 points (0-12—12) during the playoffs, placing him fifth on the Red Wings and tying him for 17th overall in the NHL in scoring. His team-high 12 assists tie for third in the league, while his plus-seven rating ties for seventh; Then: Scored 66 points (15-51—66) in 102 games with the Griffins from 2003-06, ranking fourth all time in scoring among Grand Rapids defensemen. Named the AHL's Outstanding Defenseman and a First Team All-Star in 2004-05, when he led the Griffins in scoring and set a single-season franchise record (since broken) for points by a blueliner with 53. Selected to play in the AHL All-Star Classic in both 2004 and 2005.
F Jiri Hudler – Now: Ranks fourth on the Red Wings and is tied for 15th in the NHL with 13 points (4-9—13) in 16 playoff games. His nine postseason assists tie for third on Detroit and 11th in the league; Then: Scored 179 points (65-114—179) in 185 games with the Griffins from 2003-06.

Played in the AHL All-Star Classic in both 2004 and 2006. Named the AHL's Player of the Week on Oct. 17, 2005.
C Valtteri Filppula – Now: Has seven points (3-4—7) in 16 playoff games with the Red Wings; Then: Scored 74 points (22-52—74) in 77 games with the Griffins from 2005-07.

D Brett Lebda – Now: Has two assists in 13 playoff games with the Red Wings; Then: Scored 31 points (6-25—31) in 111 games for the Griffins from 2003-06.
C Mark Hartigan – Now: Appeared in the Red Wings' first four playoff games, tallying one assist; Then: Scored 42 points (23-19—42) in 48 games with the Griffins in 2007-08, ranking as the team's top goal scorer and point producer as of his final recall to Detroit on Feb. 20.

LISBON - The parents of Beaver Local School students are not unaccustomed to two-hour delays, except on mornings when there's no snow and it isn't very cold.
Instead, it was the discovery of seven district school buses, each with a slashed and flattened front tire, that caused the start of school to be delayed on Tuesday morning.
According to Kent Polen, superintendent of Beaver Local Schools, a mechanic from the district's bus garage noticed the damages at approximately 5:40 a.m., while preparing the buses for their morning rounds.

The windows in two of the affected buses were also damaged, with cracks found in the panes of the sliding entry door on one bus and in the right windshield pane of another. Both were also replaced with parts from another bus prior to being dispatched.
Polen said the vehicles are kept in an outdoor lot surrounded by chain-link fencing and a gate that is locked at night. There are no cameras or other security devices in the area, though Polen says such measures are now under consideration. No signs of forced entry into the lot were found.
While the district has been criticized for calling delays too close to the start of the school day, Polen feels that the circumstances warranted the action. "When you get the call that late, and buses start to roll out shortly after six o'clock, you have to make some quick decisions on what you're going to do," he said. After discovering the damages to the first few buses, he says each of the district's other buses had to be thoroughly inspected before declaring them safe to transport students.
The delay was enough time for the district personnel to remove wheels from buses not currently in use and install them on the crippled vehicles. Polen commended the mechanics for their quick action in completing inspections and making the necessary repairs and thanked the bus drivers for their assistance in getting the work completed within the window of the delay. "Two hours after they found them, they had them ready to go," he said.
Polen said the last incidence of bus vandalism in the district was eight years ago. County-wide, however, it is the second time in just the past six weeks that buses have suffered similar damages. 12 United Local school buses were crippled by slashed tires the morning of Jan. 25, which also resulted in a two-hour delay of classes.
The tires for the buses cost approximately $300 each. Combined with the replacement glass, Polen estimates damages of close to $5,000. A report was filed with the Columbiana County Sheriff's Department, which is investigating.
This was the second incidence of damage in the district since last week, when four holes were discovered in the glass front doors of Beaver Local High School and an adjoining window prior to the start of classes Feb. 25.
A school custodian discovered the holes, as well as a BB pellet in the hall. The shooting incident is also under investigation from the Sheriff's Department.
BLHS Principal Tom Cunningham said the angle of the shots, which left a trio of small gouges in the hallway ceiling tiles, suggests that they were shot from state Route 7, which passes in front of the building.
Neither Polen nor Cunningham say they have any suspects in mind for either incident, with no threatening messages or other warning received by school or district officials.
"We're looking at steps to increase security not only [in the bus yard], but around the whole school system, to make sure that everybody is safe," Polen said. Cunningham did voice his hope for the installation of security cameras for the school's exterior doors. "It would help us out tremendously," he said.

With the extreme weather continuing, area school districts are having to make additional plans to make up days, but districts say graduation will not be affected at this point.
Tiffin City Schools Superintendent Vicki Wheatley said graduation is still on the same day.
As for students who have to take the Ohio Achievement Assessments, Wheatley said the state has a two-week window, with week one for testing and the second week for those who have to make up the test. Students are to take the test during their scheduled make-up week, Wheatley said.
Mohawk Local Schools has been closed eight days and has made up one so far.
"We are making sure that students are meeting the requirements by the state," said Mohawk Superintendent Ken Ratliff. "There is to be no change in the graduation date. We are not there yet."
Ratliff said the snow days can interfere with how students perform on tests and are missing instructional days. He said Mohawk has an after-school intervention program that has allowed students to come in to work and study while school was not in session.
Gov. John Kaisch and the state legislature proposed a measure that could increase the number of calamity days from five to nine.
According to the Ohio Department of Education, this is the last year 175 days are to be required for schools to be in session. Beginning next year, schools will be in session for a minimum number of hours, depending on the grade level.
Clyde-Green Springs Exempted Village Schools has used nine calamity days so far this year.
"We are just waiting to see what the state decides," said Clyde Superintendent David Stubblebine. "We will not know what happens in the future, but as of right now, graduation will not be affected."
Stubblebine said the district has days that can used to make up class work online.
So far this year, Lakota Local Schools have used 12 calamity days. Superintendent Jon Detwiler sent out a letter to parents explaining how the district is to make up the seven days.
Detwiler said three days are to be counted using the "Blizzard Bag Program." One day is to be made up Feb. 17 and two days to be made up over spring break, April 17 and 21. The last day to be made up is at the end of the year, June. 3, he said.
"If we receive more days (from the state), we would eliminate the June make-up day and decide if we can reinstate the two days during spring break," Detwiler said in the letter.

Handguns: General Discussion
> House Gun Opinion?
January 11, 2013, 04:54 PM
1911 with 5" barrel 7-8rds capacity or GP100 4"er 6rd capacity, which would you prefer and why?
If you enjoyed reading about "House Gun Opinion?" here in TheHighRoad.org archive, you'll LOVE our community. Come join
today for the full version!
January 11, 2013, 05:02 PM
The 1911. I'm just not a revolver guy. Were I a revolver guy, the GP100. Either would serve well if the user did their part.
January 11, 2013, 05:08 PM
I'm not a revolver guy, but I'll take a revolver over a 1911. I feel a single-stack full-size pistol wastes real estate. I like detachable magazines, but most often your house gun is going to be grabbed with what is in it, so you're really only talking about one round. The advantage is you don't have to remember if the chamber is loaded or hit the safety, you can just grab it and fire.
Now, if I were not limitted, I would say at the very least a double-stack 1911, if not another double-stack pistol would be better, and for a house gun I'd prefer a long gun. The recent story of a woman shooting a man 5 times in the face with a .38 special has led me to think that maybe 6 isn't enough even for one attacker (and that was with 83% hit rate).
January 11, 2013, 05:12 PM
I prefer the 1911 to the revolver. No knock on the revolver (I periodically carry a Model 65 S&W, 3" barrel).
In the dark, a reload is "hands find hands" for the semi-auto, and I need speed loaders for the wheel gun (if you need a reload).
The 1911 is single action all the time. Less trigger pressure.
Nicky Santoro
January 11, 2013, 05:16 PM
FWIW, I voted for the GP100. That being said, when I bought a house gun over 30 years ago my only experience with handguns was with the 1911 from the Army so I got one. It still serves as my house gun, but if I were to make a new purchase today it would be a 4" .357.
January 11, 2013, 05:24 PM
Both are solid. I'd take the 1911, personally.
January 11, 2013, 05:24 PM
Given no other parameters and choices, the revolver is easier to use reliably - point and pull the trigger.
That said, both are good choices but there are better choices. Whatever you choose, practice with it often.
January 11, 2013, 05:42 PM
1911. Less risk of over penetration and easier on the ears indoors.
January 11, 2013, 06:37 PM
1911 - those few extra rounds plus the ease of reloading might just make the difference.
January 11, 2013, 06:50 PM
GP-100, cuz I don't like 1911s :).
Just my .02,
January 11, 2013, 07:02 PM
The GP because it's a .357MAG. I've no beef with .45ACP or 1911s; I just prefer the .357MAG as a stopper.
American Finn
January 11, 2013, 07:03 PM
I voted for the GP-100 as well.
I lean towards the revolver for a house gun for the simple fact that you can leave it loaded forever without worrying about spring compression in a magazine. When I pull out my house gun, I want it to go "bang" and not "click" because the mag spring is weak and worn out. Now, I am not an expert on spring compression, but my experience in industrial settings tells me it is possible over time. My house gun is a Ruger Blackhawk in .45LC.
I routinely carry a 1911 as my CPL gun (mainly winter), a Sig P250 Subcompact 9mm in warmer weather, and a Ruger LCP. With my carry guns, however, I don't leave the magazines loaded for more than a week without unloading them and giving them a "break". If this is overkill, and I am being over concerned about this, please advise.
Vern Humphrey
January 11, 2013, 07:26 PM
Neither. A handgun is for when you have to have a gun with you as you go about your business -- you compromise on power to get portability and concealability.
You don't have to make that compromise in your home. Get a pump shotgun.
Sergei Mosin
January 11, 2013, 07:34 PM
American Finn, what wears out a spring is use - repeated compression and relaxation. A magazine loaded once could sit for decades and work just fine - and there are plenty of magazines that have done just that.
To the original question, I can't vote for one or the other, because both of these weapons are included in our home defense plan. Either is a fine choice.
January 11, 2013, 08:16 PM
I'd be fine with either. But, i don't foresee keeping the 1911 cocked and locked, so I give the nod to the Double action revolver over the Single action pistol.
January 11, 2013, 08:42 PM
I'm a died in the wool 1911 guy starting in 1962.
But for a house gun you intend to leave laying around loaded.
One you or your wife might have to grab up and use in a moment of panic?
And safely clear after you shot someone with it while waiting for the cops to get there!
You just can't do better then a revolver.
It's either loaded, or it isn't.
You or your wife are very unlikely to have an ND and get yourself shot by a cop while clearing it in a moment of panic.
And forgeting there is still one in the chamber after you drop the mag.
January 11, 2013, 08:58 PM
I voted for reliability. In this instance that's the gp.
January 11, 2013, 11:17 PM
Depends on who might be called upon to use it, among other things. My house? I was combat-trained in the double-action revolver far more than the semi-automatic, and never in the single-action semi-automatic. The GP-100 wins the assignment.
That's not to say I cannot press a 1911 into service easily; I know I could, though it would be better to be an ambidextrous model as I am left-handed. But, for my wife to also have the firearm as an option, it would have to be the revolver. There is no requirement that, just because the revolver is chambered for the .357Magnum round, it has to be loaded with it. There are more than enough fine performers in .38 Special.
January 11, 2013, 11:28 PM
More rounds with the 1911
January 12, 2013, 12:04 AM
Wow, tied at 24 to 24 when I voted. I chose the 1911 by the way.
January 12, 2013, 03:06 AM
I own both a GP-100 and a Series 70.
And I generally use a S&W 19 as my house gun. :eek:
January 12, 2013, 03:10 AM
Both are fine HD handguns. If you always carry a 1911 and are used to swiping off the safety without thinking use the 1911 for HD. If not go simple and use a GP100. If awaken in the middle of the night and your fine motor skills are not yet up to speed you don't want to try and operate a 1911 if you're not used to shooting one. In any case, I'm a revolver guy so I would go with the GP100.
Lucky Derby
January 12, 2013, 07:24 AM
Either is a good choice, and I would be perfectly comfortable with either.
That said, I voted for the GP because quite often house guns (I know nothing of the particulars of your situation, so this may or may not apply) must be ready to use by shooters of varrying degrees of familiarity with the weapon. A solid DA revolver is about as forgiving as a firearm can be as for as being able to be effectivly used by a novice.
January 12, 2013, 07:42 AM
I own both an I voted for the gp. Reason is reality
January 12, 2013, 07:59 AM
I own both, and though neither would be my first choice, I voted for the GP100. The reason is I think my wife likes the simplicity of the revolver. She likes the fact that it is simple. Pull trigger and shoot. she would rather shoot full house 357 loads out of the GP than factory 45 fmj out of the 1911.
Consider who else may need to use it, then choose what you think is best...
January 12, 2013, 08:10 AM
my vote was for the gp100 but my HD gun is a 12ga SxS
January 12, 2013, 08:23 AM
You could buy at least 2 GP100's for what a high quality 1911 will cost.
The 1911's that are in the GP100 price range vs a GP100 might be a better question.
January 12, 2013, 08:51 AM
20ga shotgun with #3 buck...
That said, of the two listed, the GP-100. Why? Well, other members of the household can use the revolver much more easily than a semi-auto. (She can handle a revolver but isn't interested enough to learn a semi. Fair enough.) The GP won't be subjected to limp-wrist malfunctions and the long, heavy DA trigger is less likely to result in an ND in the hands of an inexperienced user.
And just because it's a .357 doesn't mean you HAVE to load it with pedal-to-the-metal boomers. My 586 and 19 get .38 +Ps just for this reason. Though in my hands I like the 125gr Remington Golden Saber .357s too.
January 12, 2013, 08:56 AM
I own both (well, the revolver is a S&W 686, but similar enough for this comparison) - and the 1911 is the one next to my bed. The only real reason is that I practice more with the 1911. I'd trust my life to either - it all depends on which platform you are most familiar with. Practice, Practice, Practice.
January 12, 2013, 09:41 AM
so you're really only talking about one round.
Not really. Most 1911's come with 8+1 mags and for HD there is nothing wrong with using a 10+1 round. That gives you almost double the firepower.
A 45 acp is a lot quieter when fired indoors as well. Either would work, but for indoors use as a HD gun I'd take the 1911 every time. For a hiking or camping gun and when loaded with heavy bullets the 357 is a better choice from possble use against large animals.

1911 It just what I'm used to, and it's a natural pointer.
January 12, 2013, 10:29 AM
The 1911, more & larger holes..............
January 12, 2013, 10:50 AM
Use whichever you shoot most accurately.

Me too.
However, this is also a factor
jmr40 wrote,

And outdoors as well.
Additionally, have you ever shot a .357 Magnum in the dark, especially from something relatively short like a 4" barrel.
January 12, 2013, 02:17 PM
Well, I have both, and plan to keep it that way. Either one would be a comforting back-up to my HD/SD/duty (PD) Remington 870P. I have made no secret of my affection for the GP100, having stated it is my favorite handgun, multiple times. A 4" .357 medium-large DA sixgun is about as good as it gets for one handgun to handle everything. My first handgun, over three decades ago, however, was an off-brand 1911, and my current 1911 is a better one, a Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special. I have trigger time with both systems. Some of the in-between trigger systems can be distracting, but long-stroke DA and crisp, short-stoke SA are both workable and familiar in my hands.
I have carried both the 1911 and GP100 in harm's way, and I have no problem continuing to do so.
This topic being "house" gun, however, narrows the parameters down. I do not need the versatility of the .357 inside a house. I prefer the .45 for night/low-light shooting, and for shooting within enclosed spaces. Both of these conditions exist within a house.
My final answer, specifically for a house handgun, for my personal use, is the 5" 1911. I have ignored the factor of other folks within the household; they have
access to their own houseguns, both long guns and handguns.
fWIW, I have never disremembered a 1911's thumb safety. Starting with a 1911, and then 29 years of using duty duty holster with thumb releases, have programmed me to start the draw with a flagged thumb.
January 12, 2013, 02:45 PM
My most common open carry is a full sized 1911 so there is one in its place each evening but the grabber for bumps in the night is in fact our stainless GP100 - though 3 incher.
If it's dark, I'm stumbly - whatever, I like the lack of moving parts, no mag to fall away, no safety to fumble etc...
Of course, I'm also one of those fellas that doesn't anticipate running cinematic gun battles through the house, yard and rest of the neighborhood either.
January 12, 2013, 02:52 PM
I voted for reliability. In this instance that's the gp.
My thoughts exactly. I'd be all for the 1911 if you could put several hundred rounds downrange first, and establish that its a proverbial Glock; but that would mean you're stuck with something iffy in the meantime.
January 12, 2013, 08:28 PM
I voted GP100. I'm an EDC 1911 guy. The beauty of the GP100 or any revolver, is that any of my family can pick it up and employ it with near immediate effect.
January 13, 2013, 12:08 AM
I voted for the revolver. I am not a 1911 guy. Revolvers are stupid simple just point and keep pulling the trigger till it goes click.
January 13, 2013, 01:30 PM
I could go either way really. Both are great choices. The GP wins for ease of use and reliability, IMO. The 1911 wins on ammo capacity and
1911. Less risk of over penetration and easier on the ears indoors.
this coment is a major reason to favor the .45 acp more so.
I used to have my SP101 loaded with some warm .38 +P's. I figured that would save my ears, but may not save my life. Load it with .357's, and overpenetration becomes a worry for me because I live in a neigborhood.
The 1911 with standard pressure .45's seems a good middle ground to me.
January 13, 2013, 02:17 PM
Whichever one you shoot better
January 13, 2013, 02:20 PM
1911 with 5" barrel 7-8rds capacity or GP100 4"er 6rd capacity, which would you prefer and why?
I'd go with the 1911 for one reason. I am very comfortable with this weapon. I know revolvers are proven, and the GP is a very reliable platform, and a really great gun, but so is the 1911. I like it better. I wouldn't throw the GP100 down now! :-)

I really like the 101, but agree with you. On the two calibers, .45.
January 13, 2013, 07:57 PM
I used to keep a .357 by the side of the bed. I switched to keeping a 1911 there for one reason: .45 ACP is a lower pressure round and will do less damage to our hearing if I ever have to pull the trigger inside the house when there hasn't been time to grab hearing protection.
January 13, 2013, 08:50 PM
I routinely carry a 1911 as my CPL gun (mainly winter), a Sig P250 Subcompact 9mm in warmer weather, and a Ruger LCP. With my carry guns, however, I don't leave the magazines loaded for more than a week without unloading them and giving them a "break". If this is overkill, and I am being over concerned about this, please advise.
You're actually weakening the springs. It's not the compression that weakens them, it's compression and decompression. People have found loaded USGI mags that haven't been shot in 40 years that still work.
I vote 1911, mostly because I'm not a revolver guy, and shoot the 1911 better than any gun I've ever tried. It's my daily carry and nightstand gun.
January 13, 2013, 09:07 PM
none of the above:neener:....get a S&W k frame.:cool:...
January 13, 2013, 10:26 PM
1911 - Just personal preference based upon familiarity. Been shooting a 1911 for 30+ years and only been shooting revolvers less than 10.
January 13, 2013, 10:37 PM
I'm just not a 1911 fan.
January 13, 2013, 11:17 PM
I am a revolver guy and voted for thr GP100, but my house gun is a S&W 5906 (9mm)

January 13, 2013, 11:23 PM
1911 with 5" barrel 7-8rds capacity or GP100 4"er 6rd capacity, which would you prefer and why?
I picked GP100
Ive shot a friends GP100. DA was smooth and controled, SA was light and clean.
Weight would help with follow up shots using .357 magnum.
Practice is cheaper with .38 special ($19.99) over .357 ($24.99) and .45 ($22.49) for that matter. I quickly searched midway for the prices using federal american eagle brand for comparison.
The only potential issue I can bring up with both guns is ability to mount a light. I know some 1911s can have rails and some .357 revolvers can as well. I would recommend purchasing a model which has a rail.
After another quick search I learned that ruger does not offer a GP100 with a rail. I did however find this: http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?model=10
Therefore I will retract my recommendation for the heavy, powerful .357 in favor for a weapons light attachable 1911.
Unless of course you would consider another brand of .357 like the S&W M&P R8. What a Bad A** Revolver! http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_765757_-1_757770_757767_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y
Hope this helps fxstchewy.
January 13, 2013, 11:55 PM
To stick with the OP - I think a semi-auto is a better choice. The main thing for me is I like an SA trigger better than a DA trigger, two extra shots is better and even though I've seen Miculek - generally speaking, reloading a semi-auto is easier than reloading a revolver.
On the other hand, there is nothing in the OP about budget constraints, so if someone was going to get a gun specifically for their house (home defense) I'd recommend it be a 12 ga shotgun.
January 14, 2013, 12:32 PM
Between the two, I would go with an M1911 in .45 with a rail.
January 14, 2013, 03:37 PM
To stick with the OP - I think a semi-auto is a better choice.
If you spend more than what a GP100 costs on a high end 1911. At the same price point your comparing one the most durable, reliable revolvers being made right now to a budget 1911 that maybe hit or miss. Not apples to apples.
January 14, 2013, 10:26 PM
I voted GP100 which was my house gun for a number of years.
I did just switch to a semi auto though for some of the reasons listed by others.
January 15, 2013, 12:10 AM
I vote for the 1911 pistol as the primary HD gun and the revolver as a BUG.

January 15, 2013, 01:56 AM
I'd be happy with either platform. My issue is with the cartridge. A full bore 357 is going to be as good or better than a 45 but at the cost of much greater muzzle flash and noise which I feel are a problem if you may be firing it in an enclosed room, possibly in the dark.
You can mitigate this to an extent by using 38 spl ammo in the GP100 but then IMO you are taking a step down in effectiveness.
I used to keep a S&W 686 in my nightstand as a HD gun but after a lot of thought I switched it out for my Glock 21 instead.
January 15, 2013, 02:31 AM
Between your two choices it would be a 1911 for me because it's the handgun I shoot best.
That said, which particular firearm I choose is pretty low on the list of HD priorities for me. My roommate and I live in a very low crime neighborhood, in a very low crime area of our city. We still keep our doors and windows locked. We know our neighbors and mutually keep our eyes open for anything suspicious. I have a medium-large sized American Bulldog mix mutt who hears things long before we do, and has a very distinctive alert bark: She serves as an early warning system. We keep our cell phones charged and nearby. There are Surefire and similar lithium battery lights throughout our home. There are several other precautions and measures we've taken to maintain security. Last, my 1911 and several other reliable firearms between us are safely stored but readily accessible.
Focus on your mindset and skill set first. Then pick a reliable firearm that's chambered in any good defensive cartridge as long as you shoot it well. For me that's service revolvers in .38 Spl and up, service pistols in 9mm and up, shotguns in 12 or 20 gauge with buck shot, and centerfire carbines of just about any caliber if loaded with rounds that are known to reliably and rapidly expand and/or fragment.
January 15, 2013, 04:45 AM
Either is a good choice. Use the one you shoot the most.
January 15, 2013, 10:43 AM
I voted GP, even though i keep an S&W 19 by my bed... BUT, i also keep a long or two gun close by too...
The revolver compared to the semi auto is more reliable, easier for someone other than me to shoot. I don't buy into the need for more than 6 shots, in this situation, as i'm NOT into the "spray n pray" technique...
I also don't buy into the revolver being a "problem" because of more noise or muzzle blast... In a shooting situation like this, that will be the last of your worries!
January 15, 2013, 01:24 PM
1911 with 5" barrel 7-8rds capacity or GP100 4"er 6rd capacity, which would you prefer and why?
Trip to LGS could be eye opening. One of mine had full display of old S&Ws, Colts.....It would be even better had they not run out of AR15s. They even had LEGENDARY 2" Model 12 with flat cylinder release button (ole' vintage feature). Now is the time to shop for oldies but goodies.
January 15, 2013, 04:32 PM
I would have to say the 1911,If you have ever shot a 357 indoors with out
ear protection it is shockingly load with a impressive muzel blast.
I love my 357's but inside I'll take the 45.
January 15, 2013, 04:36 PM
If you have ever shot a 357 indoors without ear protection it is shockingly loud
I made the mistake once of shooting a .44 mag *outdoors* without hearing protection. My ears were ringing for about 4 days.
January 16, 2013, 01:58 AM
Gp 100 was my choice between the 2, load with +P ammo. Had one on the nightstand for many years, moved to glock 17, with 20 rounds and on board light.
January 16, 2013, 04:52 AM
Revolver for guaranteed trigger pull/bang methedology. No "in-battery" and no magazine fatigue concerns. Cant imagine you would do bad jumping either way...I just prefer the "house gun" to truly always be ready.
January 16, 2013, 05:16 AM
1911 has less recoil that allows faster target re-acquisition. .45 = bigger hole in bad guy.
January 16, 2013, 07:05 AM
I picked the GP100 cause its a revolver but actually my house gun is an S&W M-65!

Hope this helps fxstchewy.
Those scandium N-frames are pleasant to shoot, even with full power handloads.
Here's my M327 TRR8 (Tactical Rail Revolver);
Bottom of the shroud is drilled and tapped for a light, top is drilled and tapped for a red dot/holographic optic;
What I've learned is 8 round moonclips are slower to load than 6 or 7 round speedloaders.
125gr SJHPs create a large wound channel and typically don't over penetrate.
Not much muzzle flash using AA #9 powder, but there's a huge fireball from the cylinder gap on this M686P/6".
When traveling, I typically have the 686P/6" and a Colt 1911 Government in 45 auto on the night stand.
Both calibers are very suitable for night stand duty, you simply have to decide how much practice and training you're willing to devote to become proficient with your choice.
While some feet all one needs to do is pull the trigger on a DA revolver, placement of the trigger on the finger and grip is different than that of the 1911. The DA trigger pull of the GP 100 will never be as smooth or as fast as a 1911 and there's more of a tendency to jerk the trigger during rapid fire training sessions with the wheelgun.
Other potent calibers re available for the 1911 platform, 38 Super and 10mm come to mind and if you handload, the Super can push 125gr magnum bullets at magnum velocities, but with the recoil of a G17;
Training, this out of the box Colt shot 400 flawless rounds, 150 of those rounds were fired as fast as I could load and pull the trigger;
This Colt became my CCW and I continued to push it hard, another 200 round session during an extreme heat range session;
Included in the session was 70 rounds as fast as I could load and pull the trigger, right handed, left handed, Bill Jordan from the hip style, both hands with and without using the sights, ~7 yards;
I carried the mag back in the day and was fortunate enough to have superb instructors, same can be said for the 1911, but never on patrol.
Some observations, for me - weak hand advantage 1911
Split times advantage 1911
Range sessions - moving both, point shooting both, draw to first shot 1911. Rapid fire range sessions with the mag (not 38) and at about 50 rounds I need to put gloves on my left hand because the cylinder gets really hot. At about 70 rounds I put the mag down. When doing intense training shooting the magnum I'll bring 2-3 357s in order to allow for cool down times. 1911s get very hot to the touch too, but that's what the slide stop is for. :)
Some of the hardest hitting ammunition on the market;
complete with the Ranger star;
I voted 1911, but it's a toss up for home defense. Furniture and carpet soak up some of the muzzle blast, but the advantage goes to the 45 for both lower blast and flash. IMO, 38 Special is a cop out, clear advantage to the 45 between these two calibers.
For training sessions at the range, if you only bring one gun, the advantage is with the 1911.
Handloading with hardcast bullets is the way to go with both calibers, I like to practice with 357/170gr Keith style bullets and either 185gr/200gr SWCs in 45.
Get both.
January 16, 2013, 03:42 PM
Sgt York used an M1911 - that's good enough for me.
January 16, 2013, 04:04 PM
I LOVE 1911s...but not knowing more detail of your situation I'd have to recommend the revolver (loaded with Cor-Bon .38 Special+P 125 grain JHP rather than .357) because it's simpler, has a shorter learning curve to minimum competence, and more forgiving of brain farts under stress.

January 16, 2013, 04:09 PM
I like a revolver for a house gun myself. There's nothing to remember at all in a DA revolver. Just start pulling the trigger.

1911 with 5" barrel 7-8rds capacity
Modern magazines for the M1911 hold 8 rounds, plus one up the spout, for a total of 9.
January 26, 2013, 05:51 PM
The 1911 was my first handgun courtesy of Uncle Sam and I still carry one today.
I've tried many others and I always come back to the 1911. I have a Govt. and a Commander size and both will be my "forever guns" and there shall be no other. :D
In the beginning was the 1911, and the 1911 was THE pistol, and it was good. And behold the Lord said, thou shalt not muck with my disciple John's design for it is good and it worketh. For John made the 1911, and lo all of his weapons, from the designs which I, the Lord, gave him upon the mountain.
And shouldst thou muck with it, and hang all manner of foul implements upon it, and profane its internal parts, thou shalt surely have malfunctions, and in the midst of battle thou shalt surely come to harm.
And as the ages passed, men in their ignorance and arrogance didst forget the word of the Lord and began to profane the 1911. The tribe of the gamesman did place recoil spring guides and extended slide releases upon the 1911 and their metal smiths didst tighten the tolerances and alter parts to their liking, their clearness of mind being clouded by lust.
Their artisans did hang all manner of foul implements upon the 1911 and did so alter it that it became impractical to purchase. For lo, the artisans didst charge a great tax upon the purchasers of the 1911 so that the lowly field worker could not afford one. And the profaning of the internal parts didst render it unworkable when the dust of the land fell upon it.
And lo, they didst install adjustable sights, which are an abomination unto the Lord. For they doth break and lose their zero when thou dost need true aim. And those who have done so will be slain in great numbers by their enemies in the Great Battle.
And it came to pass that the Lord didst see the abomination wrought by man and didst cause, as he had warned, fearful malfunctions to come upon the abominations and upon the artisans who thought they could do no wrong.
Seeing the malfunctions and the confusion of men the lord of the underworld did see an opportunity to further ensnare man and didst bring forth pistols made of plastic, whose form was such that they looked and felt like a brick, yet the eyes of man being clouded, they were consumed by the plastic pistol and did buy vast quantities of them.
And being a deceitful spirit, the lord of the underworld did make these plastic pistols unamenable to the artisans of earth and they were unable to muck much with the design, and lo these pistols did appear to function.
And the Evil One also brought forth pistols in which the trigger didst both cock and fire them and which require a "dingus" to make them appear safe.
But man, being stupid, did not understand these new pistols and didst proceed to shoot themselves with the plastic pistol and with the trigger-cocking pistols for lo their manual of arms required great intelligence which man had long since forsaken. Yet man continue to gloat over these new pistols blaming evil forces for the negligent discharges which they themselves had committed.
And when man had been totally ensnared with the plastic pistol, the lord of the Underworld didst cause a plague of the terrible "Ka-Boom" to descend upon man and the plastic pistols delivered their retribution upon men. And there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth in the land.
Then seeing that the eyes of man were slowly being opened and that man was truly sorrowful for his sinful misdeeds, the Lord did send his messengers in the form of artisans who did hear and obey the teachings of the prophet and who didst restore the profaned 1911s to their proper configuration, and lo, to the amazement of men, they didst begin to work as the prophet had intended.
And the men of the land didst drive out the charlatans and profaners from the land, and there was joy and peace in the land, except for the evil sprits which tried occasionally to prey on the men and women of the land and who were sent to the place of eternal damnation by the followers of John.
January 26, 2013, 05:54 PM
Semi-automatic is a better choice. At least you have a reasonable chance to reload if needed. Also, I think that a semi-automatic is more likely to not have a malfunction. My thinking is when a wheel gun malfunctions it is out of service until a major repair, where a jam for a semi-automatic is easily handled. If the choices were opened up I would have voted for a full size Glock or S&W M&P or Ruger SRxx in .40 or 9mm. 9mm being preferred for the extra round count.
January 26, 2013, 09:50 PM
Both great guns. I voted 1911 for higher capacity and ease of reload.
January 26, 2013, 10:06 PM
I agree that a semi-automatic pistol is a better choice. However, only two choices have been presented.
Most 1911's require too much work to get running properly. It is essential that you choose a good manufacturer and bring it up to service level specification. The minimum gun I would be would be a Dan Wesson Valor. You'll need to know what you're doing with regard to maintenance. It is very important that you do the proper maintenance regimen. Most people do not have these skills.
10-8 Performance articles on the 1911 (http://www.10-8performance.com/pages/Articles.html)
Given the above, I'd choose the revolver over the 1911. I'd get the 1911 if I had the armorer skills.
In terms of the revolver, the GP100 is good enough. I prefer pre-2000 S&W revolvers, though there are a few tempting N-Frames that have locks. Night sights are available for the GP100 from Meprolight and XS Sights. Do a trigger job with a kit from triggershims.com (use the 11# hammer spring and 8# trigger return spring).
January 26, 2013, 11:25 PM
Without knowing more about the 1911 you're considering, I have to go with the GP100. I'd personally go with a different semi-auto in that price range.
January 27, 2013, 12:04 AM
I vote 1911 - not necessarily because it is better, but because I like it better.
January 27, 2013, 08:59 AM
Survey was closer than I thought. Without going into details, I simply feel more comfortable and secure with a 1911.
January 27, 2013, 04:37 PM
Didn't vote. Personally, I like both. Either will serve you well, assuming the 1911 is from quality manufacturer. I own and carry a 1911, as well as numerous revolvers. Go with the platform that give you greater confidence. And if you are really tight on funds, keep in mind the GP won't require as extensive a period of ammo testing (including expensive hollow points), so keep that in mind as well.
January 27, 2013, 11:26 PM
1911, because that's what I'm most accurate with, I much prefer the trigger and the ability to recharge the gun quickly. Having said that, I don't keep any of my guns loaded.
January 27, 2013, 11:48 PM
Any idea on 1911 yet?
January 28, 2013, 09:58 AM
I have a .357, a .44, and two M1911A1 .45s. I choose my Glock Model 17 and its 17 rounds of +p+ 115gr JHPs. :):)

The Fort Dorchester boys' soccer team picked up its first region win of the season Tuesday when it defeated cross-town rival Ashley Ridge 1-0.
Patriot center midfielder Caleb Sandoval received a pass near the right sideline, darted past a Swamp Fox defender and made a beeline to the goal. He then sent a line drive into the left corner of the net with 28:22 remaining in the second half for the game's only score.
"I saw space in the center so I cut it in," Sandoval said. "I knew the shot was there; I just had to hit it."
It was his second goal of the season.
Patriot goalkeepers Tiago Dos Santos and Christian Baker shared the shutout as both played a half in goal.
Fort Dorchester improved to 4-4 on the season with a 1-1 mark in region play with the win. Ashley Ridge dropped to 4-5-1, 0-2.
While only one shot found the net, each team did create scoring opportunities.
"Ashley Ridge took some really nice shots tonight," Dos Santos said. "They came close a couple of times but we played our best game of the season so far. Ashley Ridge is stiff competition so I'm proud of my team."
Ashley Ridge striker Sean Siehl had a shot sail just wide five minutes into the game and midfielder Manuel Enciso made a nice left-footed shot in stoppage time for the first half that was just off its mark.
Fort Dorchester's Pablo Valenzuela and Zikeem Smith both took a shot that was just of its mark in the first half and Sandoval headed a pass from Reilly Ashton for a near Fort goal but Swamp Fox keeper Stockton Blanchard made a nice save.
With 25:25 remaining in the second half, Siehl sent a hard shot into the center of the crossbar. Later in the game Ashley Ridge striker Anson Girone made the Fort fans a bit uneasy with a pair of shots that were both just a tad high.
The Patriots continued to be aggressive after they took the lead and got some more good looks at the goal. Valenzuela had one of the better scoring opportunities for the Fort with just more than four minutes remaining but his shot sailed wide.
Fort Dorchester hosts Colleton County March 22 and Bluffton March 26 before hitting the road for a match at Summerville March 29.
Ashley Ridge hosts Beaufort March 22 and Summerville March 26 before hitting the road for a game at Colleton County March 28.

BOSTON – Until Tuesday night, Ryan Miller was off to an excellent start in the Buffalo net. He seemed to be picking up where he left off from his stellar play last March that nearly single-handedly carried the Sabres into the playoffs.
Then came the overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Miller hadn't given up a remotely questionable goal in his four previous starts but gave up three in that game, including Matt Frattin's winner with 1.5 seconds left in OT.
Afterward, a stone-faced Miller sat in front of his locker — pads still on — pondering what happened. When he talked to reporters, he took full responsibility and said he needed to be better and expected to be better.
The Sabres are 0-3-1 in their last four games and haven't been able to shake their doldrums after a 2-0 start. Miller needs to make sure one bad game doesn't turn into two or more and what a doozy of a chance he has Thursday night.
The Eastern Conference-leading Boston Bruins (5-0-1). In TD Garden, where they are 4-0. In what's expected to be Miller's first start there in nearly 14½ months, since the infamous Milan Lucic bull rush over him on Nov. 12, 2011.
"You just have to try to remember how last year felt and compete again," Miller said. "[Tuesday] I just didn't have it, for whatever reason. It was definitely the kind of game I needed to show up for and be better. The guys got me back into it. I tried to hang tight with it and then I had another letdown. Just let them down."
The Sabres were off Wednesday, a fact that sounds odd with the team struggling.
Coming off an overtime loss in which the defense struggled in its own end, the power play once again showed it could use plenty of fine-tuning and 18-year-old Mikhail Grigorenko often played to his age, there's no way coach Lindy Ruff would have given his players the day off.
But Ruff has to be more judicious with his practice time in the shortened season and there are now black-and-white rules about days off the players get, both at home and on the road, in the new collective bargaining agreement.
So the Sabres took Wednesday off and return to the ice for their morning skate Thursday at 11:30. They have a practice scheduled for Friday morning at 11 a.m. in the Bell Centre in Montreal but that one doesn't figure to be a heavy lift either because it comes in the wake of a game and late-night flight, and in advance of a matchup with the Canadiens on Saturday afternoon at 2.
Miller has faced the Bruins since the Lucic incident, going 2-0 against them last February in First Niagara Center and stopping 71 of 72 shots. But Jhonas Enroth played the other two games in Boston last year.
While a renewal of hostilities with Lucic — John Scott, anyone? — might be on the minds of Sabres fans, don't think Miller doesn't have even more ammunition against the Bruins now, too. Remember, he reportedly had a heated exchange with Boston owner and Board of Governors Chairman Jeremy Jacobs during negotiations between the NHL and NHLPA last month in New York.
Miller downplayed the exchange when he returned to Buffalo for practice after the lockout ended, but the story of the dispute — and Jacobs' near-walkout on the talks — got wide play across North America.
Through three games, Miller was fifth in the NHL in save percentage (.952) and sixth in GAA (1.67) while stopping 100 of the first 105 shots he faced. He's now dropped to 2.38 and .925 but still entered Wednesday 10th and seventh in the league, respectively, in those categories among goalies who have started more than one game.
In his first four games, the goals against him were all deflections and screens, or unstoppable howitzers on power plays from stars Claude Giroux of Philadelphia and Alex Ovechkin of Washington. That changed Tuesday.
Toronto's first goal, a rebound tap-in by Jay McClement, came after Miller simply whiffed on Nazem Kadri's 30-foot floater and the puck clanked off the goalpost.
"Just missed it," Miller said. "Stupid."
Cody Franson's second-period snap shot from the point beat Miller over the glove and it looked like there were no screen issues on the play. Then came the overtime winner, where Frattin beat Jordan Leopold and chipped the puck under Miller's arm with Miller on his knees instead of simply standing firm and taking the shot as time expired.
Miller had bounced back in the third period with a couple of strong saves and looked sharper in the net than he had over the opening 40 minutes. But the overtime faux pas wiped away any good feelings.
"I was trying to feel better," he said. "The first two periods weren't very good. … Just have to regroup and get it together."
Winger Patrick Kaleta was released Wednesday from Buffalo General Hospital after being held for observation overnight but did not travel here for Thursday's game.
Ruff said Kaleta was being checked for neck problems after taking a hit from behind from Toronto's Mike Brown in the second period. Kaleta, who has a history of neck issues, left the ice groggily after the hit and was sent to the hospital. Nathan Gerbe, a scratch Tuesday, is likely to take Kaleta's spot in the lineup.

A teacher at Summerville Elementary School is awaiting a bond hearing after being arrested Wednesday night on drug charges in Berkeley County.
Terri Goldman Wooten, 49, was arrested at a Ladson residence along with 37-year-old David Eugene Cauthen.
The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office Drug Enforcement Unit conducted a search warrant at 1024 Douglas Wayne Road in Ladson on April 17.
According to the BCSO, during the search agents located the components to manufacture methamphetamine along with approximately 14 gross grams of a white powder substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine, approximately 2.3 gross grams of marijuana, 12 dosage units of LSD "Acid," and 46 Xanax pills.
Both Wooten and Cauthen are charged with trafficking meth, distribution near a school, possession of a schedule 4 narcotic, and possession of LSD. In addition, Cauthen is also charged with manufacturing meth.
Wooten is a fourth grade teach at Summerville Elementary School.
Dorchester District 2 Public Information Officer Pat Raynor said that the school district was notified Thursday morning of the arrest.
Raynor said that the district found a replacement teacher for Wooten, and that Wooten will be placed on administrative leave with pay.
"It is district policy to automatically put a teacher on administrative leave with pay, pending due process," Raynor said. "State law dictates what steps will be taken by the school district going forward.
"Someone at the school will be taking over her class, and doing what is in the best interest of the children."
According to the Dorchester District 2 Website, Wooten is a 1988 graduate of Lander College, and is originally from Ninety-Six, SC. She received a Master's Degree in Education from Charleston Southern University.
According to the site, Wooten began her teaching career at Spann Elementary School in 1988, and has also taught at Windsor Hill Elementary. She currently teaches a single-gender class at SES of fourth grade girls.
A bond hearing for Wooten and Cauthen was held Thursday evening.
Wooten had bond set at $79,000 for distribution of a controlled substance within ½ mile of a school, possession of LSD, possession of a Schedule 4 narcotic (Xanax) and trafficking methamphetamine.
Bond was set at $124,600 for Cauthan, whose legal address is listed as 218 Deer Track Lane in Moncks Corner, although according to BCSO Wooten and Cauthan share a residence in Ladson, where the arrest occurred. Cauthan's bond was set for distribution of a controlled substance within ½ mile of a school, possession of LSD, possession of marijuana, possession of a Schedule 4 narcotic (Xanax), manufacturing methamphetamine and trafficking methamphetamine.

Micro-management is not solution for schools
April 7, 2013
To their credit, West Virginia legislators have made improving public schools a top priority during their 60-day regular session. In addition to Gov....
"Perhaps it is time to try the results model." It is long past time to try it but most teachers don't want this. They prefer getting paid and getting salary increases based on anything but the results of their efforts. Who wouldn't? It's nice to be able to work at full salary for nine months and keep your job whether the students perform well or poorly. Ever notice that when a kid succeeds, it's because of a great teacher but when he fails it's because of lousy parents? They have everyone bamboozled.

Sandpiper-I would agree that teachers be held 100% accountable-after all it is our tax dollars that pay their salary. We should demand 100% efficacy! If the teachers were to do their (easy) jobs-ALL kids (even those with special needs) would be able to read, write and perform mathematics with 100% accuracy at their respective grade level! Why don't they just do their **** jobs and hold them accountable absolutely for factors beyond their control (poor parenting,genetic/physical issues, learning disabilities, lack of funding, special needs, lack of public respect/support). I say we DEMAND NOTHING LESS!! And while we are at it let's grade pay police, fire and publicly and privately funded medical professionals on the same scale!! We only pay cops if there is ZERO crime. We only play firemen if there are ZERO fires. We only pay medical professionals once ALL illness (mental and physical) has been eradicated. DEMAND NOTHING LESS!!! *dust off hands* Next question?

"MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry says your children are not yours,they are owned by the community. She says public education has failed because we have not allowed the state to confiscate more of our money."We have to break through our private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families," says the professor of political science at Tulane University, where she is founding director of the Anna Julia Cooper Project on Gender, Race, and Politics in the South. Kids belong to whole communities, she insists, and once we realize this we'll make "better investments" in government indoctrination of children."
This is the kind of TRASH they have on MSNBC.

Raffle Raises Funds for Research
The IMF received a boost with fundraising this fall from The Mark Unatin Raffle for Research: Finding a Cure for Myeloma. Participants from 10 states contributed close to $22,000 to this event in honor of first-time fundraiser Justine Springberg's father, Mark Unatin of Pittsburgh, PA. Twenty-four prizes were awarded to lucky ticket holders at an event outside of Washington, D.C. The coveted grand prize was a spa package at a resort in Pennsylvania.
Watching her dad derive strength from the kindness and support of friends and family motivated Justine to spearhead the event. Donors were touched and inspired by the spirit and energy of the gathering and were thankful that they were given a chance to help a friend in need. Justine reports that several participants have offered their assistance in expanding the raffle next year.
Mark was diagnosed with multiple myeloma last fall and has recently achieved a remission following an autologous stem cell transplant. He is extremely excited about the success of the fundraiser and, of course, very proud of his daughter.
Our Phones are Ringing
It has been almost a year since the IMF expanded its Hotline coverage with the addition of NCI-trained cancer information specialists Nancy Baxter and Debbie Birns. As a result, our phonelines have never been busier! Many thanks to all who have made donations allocated to supporting this invaluable resource for patients and their families.

This Durango team is less Heat, more Nuggets.
It�s not a crack on Durango High School�s ability on the basketball court; it�s a statement about the way the Demons are built.
There�s no LeBron James, no 20-plus point scorer to turn to on a nightly basis, which wouldn�t be a bad thing. But the Demons (10-4) are less a one-man band and more a sum of their parts.
Yes, Ty Elliott is Durango�s leading scorer. Yes, Nick Hamlin is the Demons� go-to guy inside and their best rebounder.
But seemingly every time out, someone thrusts themselves from stage left into the spotlight. It could be freshman Lucas Baken, who came up from junior varsity and scored in double figures in his first two varsity games.
It could be Trent Andrews, who picked up the rebounding and defensive slack in a recent win over Montezuma-Cortez with Hamlin fighting foul trouble. It could be just about anyone.
�It�s good, because other teams can�t really scout us that well because they don�t really know what�s coming,� said Andrews, son of Alan and Nancy Andrews.
The sum-of-its-parts mentality is one head coach Alan Batiste has been working to instill since he took over two seasons ago, learning more about his program and his players as he goes.
�Any given night, we have a different guy,� Batiste said. �But that�s the plus side � you don�t have to look to one guy to always get us out of a jam.�
That collectiveness, that basketball socialism of sorts, takes pressure off individuals to play beyond themselves, where players who once felt the sting after miscues now feel they�ve got teammates capable of picking up the slack.
It�s an ethos Batiste wants to extend beyond just the offensive end. Rebounding, defense � everybody�s got something they can bring to the table, despite their talent level. Yes, offense gets the headlines, but everyone playing a role in a well-orchestrated production picks up the wins.
�We have an impact player every single time we play, whether it�s rebounds or passing or just handling the ball in late-game situations,� Batiste said.
