Lifting the military's ban on women in combat may be Defense Secretary's Leon E. Panetta's final accomplishment as he prepares to leave office, but if that is the case, he's leaving with a flourish.
Allowing women to serve on the front lines in an official combat capacity takes a sledgehammer to the military's "brass ceiling" that has limited the promotion of women. Changes won't take place immediately but a gradual shift is welcome.
The move overturns a 1994 Pentagon rule restricting women from artillery, armor, infantry and other combat roles. This means hundreds of thousands of additional jobs will be open to women. It also means a clearer path to career advancement. Leading a combat unit is an important element when considering promotions. Not being able to fill front-line jobs leaves women underrepresented at the top levels of the military.
The irony, of course, was always that while women were excluded from combat roles, supposedly keeping them off the front lines of battle, women have been fighting and dying in their support roles.
Women comprise about 14 percent of the 1.4 million active military personnel, and more than 280,000 women have been sent to Iraq, Afghanistan and neighboring nations. Of the more than 6,600 military personnel who have been killed in those wars, 152 have been women.
The story of Democratic Rep. L. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois illustrates the point of women in combat. Duckworth, an Army veteran, lost both legs and part of an arm from injuries she suffered as a helicopter pilot while fighting in Iraq. She chose to fly because it was one of the few combat jobs open to women. Duckworth showed her mettle on the battlefield and, after an ugly battle against tea party favorite Joe Walsh, is holding her own in Congress.
Duckworth's story illustrates how women have played an important role on the battlefield and continue to do so in Afghanistan.
Women should still have to meet the physical requirements on the combat jobs, for their own safety and the safety of their colleagues. It should be noted that when the Marine Corps went looking for women to endure its infantry course last year, two volunteered, and both failed to complete the course. There probably won't be a surge of female applicants for combat jobs. But they ought to get the same chances as a man to serve their country.
The tide has been turning, ever so slowly. Two lawsuits were filed last year challenging the Pentagon's ban on women serving in combat. And, despite past patronizing statements about the ability of men to focus when they have women to protect (see statements from former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum), America has taken note of the contribution women are making and will continue to make on the front lines of battle.
Women have been fighting, getting injured and dying next to men for the past decade in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It's past time to allow them on the front lines in an official capacity.

1858 Sale at Cabelas

> 1858 Sale at Cabelas
December 6, 2012, 08:18 AM
Just noticed this morning that Cabelas has their 1858 Remingtons in both barrel lengths on sale for $169.99 with free shipping. Have never seen them lower. The 1860 Army is back to regular price.

Cabela's certainly knows how to toy with my emotions:evil: I'm having a hard time deciding: Do I jump which ever model of the "Big Two" is on sale? I need an 1860. Such an elegant weapon. However as they never seem to have a shorter version of the open top colts short of the very expensive Marshal model, I have been hankering for a 5.5" Remington as it would be more packable and would take the same cylinders I have for my full size '58.
OR do I follow the plan I have had for a couple of years and snag a Walker? I just hope my family comes through on the gift cards I asked for for Christmas:neener:
December 6, 2012, 04:29 PM
Now that's a very nice price right there! :D
December 6, 2012, 06:27 PM
Now that's a very nice price right there! :D
Now would be the time to get your 5.5"...
December 7, 2012, 12:42 AM
I don't want to burst anyone's bubble over buying a Remmy at the lowest sale price in recent memory, but I was sorely disappointed with the trigger quality of the 5.5" Sheriff models that were in stock today at my local Cabela's store. I was disappointed because none were good enough to buy, and I had gone there it buy several of them.
I called the store first and was told that they just got in a fresh batch of Remmy's which included a dozen or more .44 Sheriff models.
I went there and the first 5.5" that I held was already unwrapped from being previously inspected, and I turned it down for being terribly unacceptable.
No problem. The clerk opens another box, unwraps the new gun and the same thing. The trigger is mushy with slack, without a crisp or predictable release. I apologized and refused it.
So then the clerk opens another box and unwraps the new gun and hands it to me. Same thing, a trigger that's spongy, mushy or having a pull with a lot of slack or grit. I apologized again and said, this isn't working out, that trigger is just as bad as the other two. The clerk says well, they're all the same, they're only $200 dollar guns. And I told him that I didn't think that I wanted to even look at another one because I didn't want to waste his time.
The clerk was aware that I was interested in more than one gun, so he said that he didn't mind opening up another box. So I said okay, and he hands me the 4th gun and for a second I was slightly optimistic. But that optimism quickly faded as the trigger was barely any better than the other 3 guns. I had to cock it twice just to be sure, but by then I was positive that I would be unhappy and that it would be a waste of money and time to proceed any further.
I again told "Tim", the clerk, how sorry I was to not make a purchase, and that I was going back to the Gun Library instead.
I spoke to another clerk on my way over there and let him know how bad the triggers were on the new batch of guns that came in. And he said to me that Pietta's were not what they once were. I don't know if he had a reason for saying that or if he was just trying to be sympathetic.
But I suspect that Cabela's received a bunch of guns that they know may have quality control issues. And now are having fire sale prices to move them out the door as Christmas presents which folks tend to not complain about the quality of.
It's happened before with a batch of stainless Sheriff models that had bent and defective latch posts installed. Many were installed crooked and had obvious fitting problems. Yet Pietta sent them through to Cabela's anyway. And I can't recall seeing many stainless 1858 Sheriff models for sale at all ever since.
So I believe that it does and can happen. Pietta's employees may not be taking the effort to make the triggers fit acceptably, or the trigger parts are not up to specifications. I can at least say that the ones that I tried weren't acceptable to me. And I would expect that at least 1/2 of the triggers would be okay. But instead, all of the triggers that I tried were only 1/2 okay. That's 1/2 of a trigger less than I would expect.
I hope that folks understand the reason for my disappointment. I'm not going to purchase a gun that I need to have trigger work performed on in order to enjoy shooting it. Especially when I know that finding a good trigger is possible for the same price and that the model isn't in short supply.
Cabela's sells Heritage Rough Rider .22 single action revolvers for $129. I've owned one for years. And even though the trigger pull may not be very light, it's release is crisp enough to be perfectly acceptable enough to enjoy shooting it. Just because a revolver costs less than $200, doesn't mean that it can't have an acceptable trigger. But somehow Pietta can't manage to produce a clean breaking trigger. I'll bet that even most toy cap guns have better triggers than what I saw today.
Perhaps the 8 inch Remmy models are better, but I didn't check any of them today and now I'm doubtful.
Perhaps the .36 Sheriffs are better. They rarely go on sale for the same low prices as either of the base model .44's. Maybe I will look into one of them the next time that they have a special sale on them.
I figure that it must be either a bad batch of parts, an untrained group of employees, or Pietta management is skipping a step in the production process so that the triggers simply don't get fitted, as if to speed up production.
Maybe the Traditions guns have a different set of standards than Cabela's because of simply being a different production run.
I really don't know other than Pietta's trigger quality seems to be totally hit and miss.
I'm going on about it because I spent most my day there at Cabela's for the express purpose of picking up some .44 Sheriffs.
And I ended up buying a center fire pistol that was totally unrelated to why I went there, and which led me to spend even more time there waiting for the paperwork process to be completed. So while the Sheriffs were a draw that brought me into the store. I doubt that I will be spending much more time looking at that new batch of Sheriffs that they got in. Right now I don't care what the sale price is. I wasted my time by looking at a bunch of junk triggers when I could have gone to the shooting range instead.
December 7, 2012, 12:56 AM
I've had good results buying from cabelas.
December 7, 2012, 01:05 AM
I've had good results buying at Cabela's too.
That's why I go there and try to select guns in person.
But sometimes the guns have quality issues.
At least I found another gun that was worth spending the money on. :rolleyes:
December 7, 2012, 11:50 AM
The 1860 I bought from Cabela's earlier this year had a light, "mushy" trigger (lots of creep). I messes with the angle of the sear nose a bit (with a spare trigger at hand, in case I chuffed it), and that seemed to help. Sounds like all the guns you looked at had a similar sear/hammer interface to the 1860 I got.
December 7, 2012, 11:54 AM
Now they're just screwing with me. :rolleyes:
Picked up my 1860 last night... beautiful. purpley-blue-gold case hardening. Action doesn't feel as good as my first one, but it looks better.
December 7, 2012, 02:30 PM
That's probably the cheapest we'll ever see that model on sale for.And with the free shipping you cant beat that.I bought mine for 199.00 and got the free shipping a while back and thought that was pretty good and I got a great revolver,but really you have to question such a low price.
December 7, 2012, 02:37 PM
I'm gonna go to the flea market on Sunday to sell some stuff, if I can make enough I'm buying a 5.5" Remmy or a Colt Army. Something cap and ball!
Malachi Leviticus Blue
December 7, 2012, 07:12 PM
I put a 5.5" Rem on order. It is almost impossible not to with FREE shipping and dumping the Cabela's points towards it. I hope I have better luck than arcticap, but If not I could flip it for a profit anyway down the road.
December 7, 2012, 07:53 PM
aah... here we go again, just bought an 1860, looks like im getting an 1858 too (i actually like the remington design more)
December 7, 2012, 09:09 PM
After Cabelas points. I paid $148.00
December 12, 2012, 08:52 PM
I ordered one, then I saw the Spiller & Burr .36cal Brassy was on sale too ($20 off) I got one of those too! Cap & Ball guns are addictive!
December 13, 2012, 12:00 AM
The brown truck delivered.

December 13, 2012, 06:28 AM
They were "In Stock" when I called in my order, but got an Email Yesterday that it was back-ordered. I don't care about waiting, but maybe this means I'll end up with an extra nice one. We will see.
December 13, 2012, 07:55 AM
This is a golden opportunity to get a great gun at a great price.
December 13, 2012, 09:16 AM
Just saw this morning that the 58 Remmy is back to its' normal price but now they have the 51 Navy on sale for $179.99 and the Walker on for $339.99. They are determined to get ALL of our money!
December 13, 2012, 09:21 AM
Sales over.
December 13, 2012, 10:39 AM
Just saw this morning that the 58 Remmy is back to its' normal price but now they have the 51 Navy on sale for $179.99 and the Walker on for $339.99. They are determined to get ALL of our money!
A walker for $339! Wowza, they might have mad up my mind for me if they hang at that price through Chistmas. $100 worth of points and cards now, hopefully about $150 or so in cards from the family, and a little Christmas bonus should put my cost under 50 bucks with tax:eek:
December 13, 2012, 02:29 PM
They've been rotating which revolvers have been on sale every few days. If you want it, don't wait.
December 13, 2012, 04:45 PM
Well the 1851 Navy is on my short list as it is. I think I'll see how this plays out through the holiday. The whole point of asking for gift cards is to not be out much money for a new "toy":evil:
So, my thinking is, Walker if it's still on sale. Gussied up Marshal for $399 if I hit the mother load of gift cards. Or fall back on the ol' '51 Navy since it's going to be at that price through the end of the year. The good news is that I should have enough cash left over to get a box of .36 swagged balls and a mold (I only have a .454 mold currently).

The Rem sale was still going in Hamburg, PA on the 15th. I bought one of their last two 8-inchers. The 5.5s were gone. I can't complain about the trigger on a 169.99 gun. I mean, I expect Italian guns to have little issues. I've yet to see a perfect one, end to end.
December 18, 2012, 09:58 PM
Don't forget that the Remingtons have a set screw that affects the tension of the main spring and can be adjusted for more or less "mushiness" in the trigger pull. I would want to check that out before I determined that the gun was defective.
December 18, 2012, 11:26 PM
Perhaps, but that would mainly affect the tension on the hammer which adjusting would help to strike the caps harder or softer.
Whereas the fitting and the feel of the sear and the amount and quality of the trigger travel is what I was disappointed about.
Some sears fit better and feel crisp when released, while others are poorly fit which causes the trigger to have slack and feel gritty before releasing.
Individual triggers can all have a different fit but if the part is not carefully fitted then the chances are that it won't fit well enough to function as a crisp trigger.
It's not allowed to adjust the main spring tension screw on a brand new gun during a casual inspection inside the store.
If it's being shipped to own's home then sure, adjust the screw to see if it helps.
And some folks could probably improve their trigger quality with some careful fitting at home.
I think that the Pietta 1860 triggers that I tried the week before felt a lot better right out of the box than the Remingtons that I tried. 2 out 3 of those were good, with one having too much slack with extra long travel before releasing.

was given an estimated ship date of 12/24 and today was told "unable to immediately fill your entire order" Boy I think they are working on picking out an exceptionally fine specimen for me...
January 3, 2013, 11:58 PM
I hope you do get a really nice one. Wow it has been a while since I have shopped for BP guns saw this thread and went to the cabelas web site and man have prices jumped since the last time I ordered one from them.:what:
January 9, 2013, 05:33 PM
Mine came today! SO whoever ordered them at the end od December you should be seeing UPS soon!

January 9, 2013, 08:20 PM
A Brown Truck showed up at my place today as well. It finally brought me a 5.5"

New Mexico's largest city, Albuquerque, was founded in 1706 and named after the Spanish city of the same name. Though the New Mexican city retains much of its Spanish culture, it has been central to key eras of American history. A Civil War battle was fought here in 1862 and the famed Route 66 runs directly through the center of the city.
Explore Albuquerque's early Spanish history with a walk through Old Town. Stop by the beautiful and still-functioning 18th century San Felipe de Neri church. Learn about New Mexico's nineteen Native American Pueblo cultures, view dance demonstrations, and shop for handmade Pueblo art and jewelry at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Ride high above Albuquerque and the Sandia Mountains on the Sandia Peak Tramway. Don't miss the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. It fills the skies with hundreds of colorful hot air balloons every October.
Sit down to a hearty breakfast of huevos rancheros, coffee, and a buttery house cinnamon roll at the kitschy Frontier Restaurant. Plan to eat outside or in your car when you stop by the take-out only El Modelo Mexican Foods. Their stuffed sopapillas and pork and red chile tamales are legendary among Burquenos.

My latest column may bet me pulled over, but I think it's important that the story of the unnecessary death of Eurie Stamps Sr. be told and retold.� He didn't have to die. The Framingham police didn't have to bust through two doors, throw a flash bang grenade into his apartment and invade the home of a citizen like it was a terrorist nest in Baghdad. A citizen suspected of no crime shouldn't be forced face down on his living room floor so public servants can execute a search warrant with an assault rifle inches from his body, even if the gun doesn't go off.
But my main point is that khe killing of Eurie Stamps Sr. wasn�t a mistake, and it wasn�t a tragedy. It was a symptom of what has happened to America�s police forces since government started declaring war on domestic crimes.
To put it in context, I turn to Radly Balko's "The Rise of the Warrior Cop," a review of the history of a transformation of local police we've watched unfold without really noticing it. I'm hoping it will get noticed now.� Turning cops into soldiers has huge implications, ones we ought to talk about.
Go ahead, let's start the discussion.

need some help with airodump-ng
ok well i am trying to get airodump-ng to work. so i downloaded the latest sourse code of aircrack-ng witch comes with everything.(airodump, aircrack, ect) i downloaded the .dll files that the main site said i should and i put them in the directory that they said i should. so far everything seems like it would work... but i click on the airodump.exe file and...the cmd opens for a split second, not even long enough for me to see if there was a error on it, and then it closes. mmmm... so i tried the other applications and they all give me the same result. anyone out there have a sujestion on how i can fix this problem? if it is something with my computer configuration i am using a toshiba satallite a300 notbook, with xp home on it. thanks in advance.
Re: need some help with airodump-ng
aerodump is a command-line tool. It has no gui. You get the error because you're not passing it any valid arguments or parameters. Run it through the command line and you should be fine. Check out some tutorials for how to run it once you're in the right directory.
Re: need some help with airodump-ng
i know it is a command line tool. but it does have a exe file that opens it in the command line. and when ever i click that exe it opens the command prompt for a split second then closes. and i did check out some tuts online and they told me to use the damn airodump.exe. also there is a gui. all it does is have few buttons on it that say things like, airodump, aircrack, ect. and when you click them the command line opens to that tool.(lame)lol
Re: need some help with airodump-ng
Forget the gui and just open it from the command line.
Re: need some help with airodump-ng
Save the effort and make a small linux partition, install Ubuntu and type in the shell "apt-get install madwifi-tools aircrack-ng" then you will have a working aircrack-ng, airepley-ng, and airodump-ng. Aireplay is very handy when injecting packets into a wireless network if you try to deauthenticate the users on a WPA-PSK encrypted network.

Every summer I'm bombarded with story ideas about someone riding their bike across the country, or a state, or a region for a charity. Same goes for paddling, hiking, running, you name it.
Most people mean well, though I also often wonder how much of it is for ego and how much of it is about charity. No matter, it is an adventure. But few warrant a story.
When I heard about 25-year-old Lauren Schifano's recently completed "Unicycle Across Alabama," which was passed along to me via a colleague, it intrigued me.
When I checked it out, the first thing that struck me is that her feat was misnamed. She didn't ride her unicycle "across" Alabama. She rode "down" it, an even longer route, 400 miles from Florence to Gulf Shores, via Huntsville, Birmingham, Montgomery and past Mobile.
Secondly, Schifano selected Charleston-based Louie's Kids as her charity, even though she had only visited South Carolina (Greenville, at that) once in her life.
She wanted to do something for a charity fighting childhood obesity in the trenches, and her research led to Louie's Kids.
Founder and Executive Director Louis Yuhasz, who has never met Schifano in person, wasn't particularly surprised at receiving manna from heaven.
"Well I think it's pretty amazing but it's not out of the ordinary for us at this point," says Yuhasz, noting the charity's expanding efforts in Charlotte, Savannah and Nashville, and events such as the Slim Down the South celebrity softball game.
"It's probably very likely more folks like Lauren will find us. When I first heard about the unicycling across Alabama, I thought 'Great!' I mean, think about it, that's going to bring us a lot of attention and it's going to bring us a lot of kids who really, really need our help."
Along the same lines as Schifano, Yuhasz says a 63-year-old man, Richard Haag of Aurora, Colo., recently embarked on a 2,000-mile bike ride from Vancouver, Canada, to Tijuana, Mexico, for Louie's Kids. And, as always, you can follow his progress on his blog and Facebook page, "Old Guy on a Bike: Ride for Childhood Obesity."
Back to Schifano. Why a unicycle?
"No one can look at a unicycle and not smile," says the rising senior at the University of North Alabama, adding that she thinks the "circus arts" are an avenue for kids to learn to enjoy physical fitness.
Schifano started her ride on Aug. 4, rode between 35 and 45 miles per day, and finished Aug. 17. She had a crew that followed her on bicycles and in a vehicle. They camped and stayed in the homes of strangers who invited them in (which seems to always happen on these adventures).
Thanks primarily to a press release by the University of North Alabama, she got some press coverage along the way. But it appears it wasn't a major concern of hers. She kept supporters posted via a Facebook page, "Unicycle Across Alabama."
Just preparing for the feat was a testament to her dedication.
Despite being a marathon and ultra marathon runner, Schifano, an exercise science major, knew she had to log lots of miles on the unicycle before her ride.
It wasn't easy. She works 50 hours a week at two jobs, one full-time at a health food store and the other part-time at a cafe. So to fit her unicycling training in, she started at 5 a.m. and rode three to four hours a day.
The work paid off. Not until the second to last day did she have any problems other than "saddle issues" (and traffic).
"People told me that I didn't have to worry about hills in south Alabama. Well, they were wrong, south Alabama is hilly," says Schifano, adding that she had some knee problems that one day.
For such a feat, her fundraising goals for Louie's Kids were modest, about $2,000. So far she's raised about $3,000, but she's hoping for more before sending the check to Charleston.

Jon Lord
was best known as the co-founder and keyboard player for
Deep Purple
, but he had a lengthy career with other bands (and as a session musician) long before that band first recorded in 1968, and had an extensive solo career as well, in addition to playing with such offshoot groups as
Paice, Ashton & Lord
. He was born
Jon Douglas Lord
in Leicester, England, in 1941, and manifested an interest in music very early on, taking up classical piano at age five -- his boyhood influences ranged from pre-Baroque through
Johann Sebastian Bach
to Late Romantics such as
Sir Edward Elgar
. As the 1950s went on, he also absorbed the music of such jazz and blues figures as
Jimmy Smith
Jimmy McGriff
, and rock & roller
Jerry Lee Lewis
. He eventually shifted away from classical music and into playing blues and jazz as a means of earning money, while also studying acting for a time. At the start of the 1960s, he passed through the orbit of jazz guru
Bill Ashton
, and soon after met
Art Wood
, an alumnus of
Alexis Korner
Cyril Davies
Blues Incorporated
began to pick up session work in the mid-'60s, and that's his piano on
the Kinks
' debut hit, "You Really Got Me." He ended up as a founding member of
Art Wood
's band
the Artwoods
-- although the latter group never had a major hit, it was a busy performing outfit and made a large number of television appearances across its three-year existence, which ended in 1967 with a brief period as
the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre
, a name under which the group issued its final single, "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime."
That band's breakup began a pivotal year for

Santa Barbara Machine Head
, with ranks including future
Rolling Stone
Ron Wood
(brother of
Art Wood
), which recorded a tiny handful of his instrumental compositions -- and in his first stint as a leader, he debuted a sample of the heavy keyboard style that would figure in his subsequent career. To keep paying bills he also passed through the lineup of
the Flower Pot Men
, where he made the acquaintance of ex-
Johnny Kidd
Nick Simper
. Fate took a hand in the person of ex-

Neil Diamond

he concentrated far more on the latter, and especially the sound of the Hammond organ -- the latter had been a favorite of players such as

proved the exception, and he turned the Hammond organ into his signature sound (occasionally augmented by the electric piano and harpsichord) on the first seven years of
Deep Purple
's work. His aspirations as a composer also came to the fore early on, with pieces that melded classical influences with rock & roll on the group's second and third LPs. In 1969, he delivered the almost LP-length "Concerto for Group and Orchestra," which was performed live with
the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
under conductor
Malcolm Arnold
in September of that year at Royal Albert Hall.
The concerto and the resulting album elevated the group's status in the British rock music world, and also became their first release in America on Warner Bros., the label where they would make their permanent mark on music -- but it also created a schism within the lineup;

lineup, which yielded the
Perfect Strangers
album and a huge international tour. The revived
Deep Purple

busy in between various solo projects (and an increasing amount of soundtrack work) right into 2002, when he formally retired from the band.

ALBANY – New York State is poised to enact some of the nation's strictest gun-control laws, with new prohibitions against sales of assault weapons, reduction in size of ammunition magazines, longer prison sentences for crimes committed with guns, and mandatory background checks for certain sales of firearms between private parties.
[Updates: The Assembly has started debating the bill.
Read the full text of the Assembly bill.]
The package of gun bills, pushed in the wake of the Dec. 14 mass shooting in which a gunman took 26 lives at a Connecticut elementary school and the Christmas Eve killing of two firefighters in the Rochester suburb of Webster, was being negotiated into the night Monday on the first day of the 2013 legislative session.
The State Senate passed the bill late Monday by a vote of 43-18; the Assembly is scheduled to take up the bill at 10 a.m. today.
Measures in the bill include reducing the size of ammunition magazines from the current 10 bullets to seven and expanding Kendra's Law, the statute requiring mental health treatment in memory of a Fredonia woman who was pushed to her death in 1999 in front of a New York City subway train by someone with a long history of mental illness.
Lawmakers said the new provision will double the mandatory treatment period to up to a year and require mental health professionals to report to county mental health agencies about those patients they believe could be a danger to others. Counties will then pass that information on to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services, which can determine whether that person has a registered weapon and, if so, could confiscate any guns the person might own.
The looming deal also defines assault weapons as those with any single characteristic – such as a pistol grip or a telescoping stock or flash suppressor; current state law says assault weapons must meet two of those characteristics. The plan will grandfather in those gun owners who legally obtained assault weapons either before the 1994 ban was put in place or who bought them through what lawmakers described as loopholes being closed in the new deal. But such owners will not be able to transfer the weapons to other people in New York and will have to register the weapons with the state.
The deal includes closing a loophole in state law that has permitted assault weapons manufactured before 1994 to be sold.
"We're not looking to demonize gun owners," Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Monday night of the gun-control legislation he sent to lawmakers. He called on the Legislature to act quickly, in part, he said, because he is worried that there will be a run on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines in advance of passage.
The bill's major provisions will take effect as soon as lawmakers pass it and Cuomo signs it.
"Time is of the essence," Cuomo said, adding, "Enough people have lost their lives. Let's act."
Sens. Timothy M. Kennedy, D-Buffalo, and Mark J. Grisanti, R-Buffalo, voted to approve the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013.
Voting against were Republicans Patrick M. Gallivan, of Elma; Michael H. Ranzenhofer, of Amherst; George D. Maziarz, of Newfane; and Catherine M. Young, of Olean.
"I remain very concerned about the intrusion on individual rights, the rights of law-abiding citizens," Gallivan said Monday night. "We now have more infringements on their rights when they haven't done anything wrong.
"The intrusion on Second Amendment rights dealing with magazines and further restricting the type of weapon a law-abiding citizen can carry, there is not data to support that will make the streets safer."
Under the bill, which the Assembly is expected to pass, there also will be new standardized handgun registration procedures put in place. District attorneys have been pushing for periodic gun reregistration laws; gun buyers in most areas of the state only have to register a gun when purchasing. The deal calls for gun owners to "recertify" with the state police every five years that the original information on their gun license is still valid.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, said the only major sticking point left in the negotiations was how to finance a provision that will permit schools to add extra security staff.
Senate Republicans met for nearly four hours behind closed doors, with members expressing concerns that the measure too broadly defines what the state will consider an assault rifle. Some senators, especially upstate Republicans in more conservative-leaning districts whose phones were ringing off the hook the last several days, were seeking to break the bill into pieces so they could vote yes on parts they support – such as expanded penalties for crimes committed with illegal guns – and oppose gun restrictions they say would violate Second Amendment ownership rights.
Cuomo said he will provide a message of necessity, a legal step that would allow the Legislature to quickly approve a bill instead of delaying for a three-day waiting period to permit advocates and opponents time to read and weigh in on any deal.
The governor, who has his eyes on a possible White House run in 2016, has been desperately trying to have New York be the first in the nation to push through stricter gun laws in the wake of the Connecticut tragedy.
The daylong, closed-door talks here came as Vice President Biden gave President Obama a list of proposals, including assault weapon bans and restricting large-capacity magazines, for the White House to try to get Congress to pass.
Gun rights groups condemned the nearing agreement. "It won't do a damn thing to cut down on gun violence," said Harold W. "Budd" Schroeder, head of the Erie County-based Shooters Committee on Political Education, a statewide gun owners advocacy group. He said that there was already talk about possible legal challenges to the gun restrictions and wondered aloud if the state was going to arrest people who do not turn in their high-capacity magazines or don't reregister their guns.
The deal calls for a database of gun registrations now maintained by counties to be handled by the state police. The names of gun owners would not be subject to the state's Freedom of Information Law, according to a copy of the agreement shown to The Buffalo News. Owners of guns now considered assault weapons would have a year to register their weapons with the state police; failure to do so could lead to a Class A misdemeanor and confiscation of the weapon.
While the size of ammunition magazines sold in New York would be reduced from 10 to seven bullets, owners who now have the larger-capacity magazines can keep them; but the deal would ban them from placing more than seven rounds in each.The Cuomo bill includes the "Webster provision," which calls for life in prison without parole for people who kill first responders such as the two firefighters. It requires a buyer of a gun in a private sale to get a background check done by a gun store and requires stores to alert law enforcement when certain large purchases of ammunition are made. The legislation also increases penalties for gun possession on school grounds.
Gallivan said he has received at least 500 phone calls and emails from people opposing further gun restrictions. "It's not just from people on the far right. One was a homeowner who doesn't fish or hunt but said, 'Enough of an intrusion on our rights,' " said Gallivan.
Ranzenhofer said he was concerned that the effort was moving too quickly. He said his office was being flooded with opposition calls and emails. He said the package fails to address a number of issues, such as efforts to better deal with school bullying.
"If I had assurances that this bill was going to change behavior and make communities safer," he said, "I'd be a lot more comfortable. I don't have that comfort."

WASHINGTON — Mark Pysyk and defense partner Brayden McNabb found all kinds of trouble Saturday during the Rochester Americans' 6-1 loss at Toronto. McNabb was minus-5 and Pysyk was minus-3 so they were understandably glum after the loss, which dropped them to 1-7 against the Marlies this season.
The mood changed, however, when word filtered to Toronto that Andrej Sekera was injured in the Sabres' overtime loss to Ottawa. A defenseman was needed for Sunday's game in Washington and, instead of putting Adam Pardy back on the Rochester-to-Buffalo shuttle, the Sabres went younger and called up Pysyk, their No. 1 draft pick in 2010. He made his NHL debut Sunday night against the Capitals, playing 14:55.
"It was a tough game. We didn't play the way we wanted to but the night sure turned around once I got the news," Pysyk said early Sunday afternoon after arriving in Verizon Center. "I had no idea, no expectations. You hope for the best but I had really no idea. I was just doing my job, putting all my focus in there."
Pysyk, 21, has four goals and 14 assists in 57 games at Rochester in his first pro season. He was tied with current Buffalo center Kevin Porter for the best rating on the team at plus-8.
"It's gone well," Pysyk said. "It started well, there was a down part midway through. But as of late playing with Brayden, I was playing pretty well."
Pysyk is a 6-foot-1, 188-pounder who was taken 23rd overall at the 2010 draft in Los Angeles from the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League. Last season, Pysyk played for Canada in the World Junior Championships and captained the Oil Kings to the WHL championship and a berth in the Memorial Cup.
"He's just a real smart defenseman who skates really well," said interim coach Ron Rolston. "A good puck mover, good defender. He's got a complete game. He really keeps the game easy on himself. He's real efficient. This will be his third game in three nights here so making sure he controls his anxiety and plays the way he can will be important."
Sekera suffered an upper-body injury Saturday and was limited to just over 15 minutes of ice time.
Rolston said Sekera is day to day and it's possible he could play Tuesday night in Montreal.
Mikhail Grigorenko's first game back in junior was a rousing success Sunday as the 18-year-old the Sabres returned on Friday had a goal and three assists to lead the Quebec Remparts to a 5-3 win over Rimouski in their regular season finale.
Tweets from French reporters covering the game said the crowd of 13,663 broke into chants of "Grigo, Grigo" during the game and provided a huge ovation when Grigorenko was announced as the first star.
Grigorenko will stay with Quebec to play in the league playoffs under coach Patrick Roy, the longtime NHL goalie. When he arrived Saturday, he told reporters he was grateful to the Sabres for the chance to play in the NHL, and to veterans like Jason Pominville and Steve Ott for helping him through the season. He also reveled in the fact he got to play against the likes of Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos and New Jersey's Ilya Kovalchuk.
But Grigorenko, Buffalo's No. 1 pick last June, was understandably disappointed in his NHL ice time. He played six minutes or less in four of his final eight NHL games, including a season-low 4:51 Tuesday against the New York Rangers.
"Playing five minutes per game is not enough for anyone," Grigorenko told Le Soleil in a story translated from French. "You do not have the time to show anything. I had sometimes thought of asking [to be put] back in junior because I had not the chance to play there."
The Sabres were to fly to Montreal after Sunday's game and are slated to have a CBA-mandated day off today before meeting the Canadiens on Tuesday in the Bell Centre. The weather forecast for game day calls for 8-10 inches of snow in Montreal.
Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin got his 700th career point in Thursday's win over Carolina and did it in his 579th game, third-fastest among active players. Only Teemu Selanne (541) and Jaromir Jagr (557) needed fewer games.
The Capitals wore green jerseys Sunday in honor of St. Patrick's Day during the pregame warm-up. The jerseys were auctioned for charity during the game.
Defenseman T.J. Brennan, traded Friday to Florida for a fifth-round draft pick, played a career-high 23:42 for the Panthers in his debut Saturday night and scored his second goal of the season in a 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders. He has three goals in 22 career games.

Take your family by the hand. Experience the special fragrance of summer in the mountains and all the myriad colours of Alpine flora. Go hunting through slumbering forests. Admire all the lush, sun-drenched meadows and the jagged, snow-capped peaks reflected in crystal-clear mountain lakes. Go hiking, fishing or riding. Be amazed, be refreshed. Cast your cares aside and do whatever you like. Let the bracing Alpine climate reinvigorate you. Let the people who live here and their age-old customs inspire you. Feel the joy of your everyday worries disappearing into the distance and your loved ones drawing closer every day.
A winter's tale with a difference. Where happy children make for contented parents. Where sun-worshippers come into their own. Where everyone can ski or not ski as they wish. In deep snow or on trekking trails. On perfectly prepared pistes or icy loipes. Or skate. Or board. Or get back into shape with the help and encouragement of a ski instructor. Where you can be active to your heart's content. For a carefree and unforgettable time.

I've written about it before, detailing the expenses of year-round staff, all the stuff that runners and walkers get (wanted or not), buses, overtime pay for police and sanitation crews, portable toilets, festivities and so on.
Cooper River Bridge Run Race Director Julian Smith gets the question, too.
"Why don't they do that about food and wine (the Wine + Food Festival), and (Charleston) Fashion Week, and Wildlife (Southeastern Wildlife Expo) and all the other nonprofits that put on events in Charleston?," Smith asked when I brought up the subject recently.
"We give runners more than any other race in the country."
Even when I underscored the need for the Bridge Run to be transparent, as with any nonprofit, Smith wasn't comfortable talking about the race's finances.
And about those other festivals, The Post and Courier has reported on budgets of all of them, as well Charleston's premier one, the Spoleto Festival.
My best guess about why people question the Bridge Run is that it's fairly easy to calculate 40,000 participants times $40 ($1.6 million) for an event that seemingly lasts about two or three hours. You know, it's just running, not food, fashion or the arts.
But the Bridge Run is more involved than most people imagine.
First, some perspective. The Bridge Run is the seventh largest race in the country, yet takes place in the 78th largest metropolitan community in America. It holds company with monster races such as the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, Bay to Breakers in San Francisco and the New York and Chicago marathons.
Like those races, every Bridge Run is a logistical Everest, even though the lead climbers are experienced. Think last year.
If you've ever worked with a volunteer-only organization, you know volunteers alone can't pull off a race like this. The event requires a paid staff and a year-round operation. And that costs money.
On numerous occasions, I've popped in the Bridge Run office in Mount Pleasant unannounced — weeks and even months before the race — and staffers are logging information on registrations. This crew works. And like any nonprofit, it's a business operation, too.
Another theory of mine about why people question Bridge Run finances is that the race is not first and foremost a charity race, though it has expanded its efforts to help local charities in the last 10 years.
Bridge Run officials acknowledge this, but underscore that the event has a major economic impact on the Charleston area. Local organizations, sometimes with ties to the event, conduct impact studies. Last year's study put the impact at $18.3 million.
Whether you believe that number or not, just ask a hotel or restaurant owner about business on Bridge Run weekend. Most will say they are slammed. Improving the economy floats everybody's boat.
As for charity efforts, the Bridge Run does fund a grant program at The Coastal Community Foundation of South Carolina, where $32,109 recently provided funds ranging from $200 to $1,500 to 29 local nonprofits in support of healthy initiatives.
Some in 2013 include $1,500 to Chucktown Squash (to fund shoes and racquets for urban youth participants), $1,500 for Meeting Street Academy (to transport youths to donated swimming lessons), and $1,500 to Wando High School (for its special needs program to buy four stationary bikes).
The Bridge Run also donated 172 complimentary race entries to nonprofits this year.
Should it do more? Probably.
Board members note that its Charity Connection program is expected to raise at least $150,000 for its 14 chosen charities this year, which in turn are committed to scrounge up volunteers to help with the race. However, that money comes either directly from participants, sponsor solicitations, or through the sale of $150 "charity bibs" and not from the Bridge Run's budget.
Being transparent
A few weeks ago, Bridge Run board president Larry Schrecker and treasurer John Massey sat down with me and went through the budget. The only thing they weren't forthcoming about was Smith's salary, which according to tax documents filed in 2011, was $80,000.
When I noticed a difference in revenue from 2011-12 (filed with the S.C. Secretary of State) and the projected revenue for 2012-13, Massey explained it was due to a $1 million, five-year cash donation ($200,000 for five years) from Boeing. That entire $1 million had to be reflected in 2011-12, when it was received.
"For FY11-12, as a part of our sponsorship agreement, we were required to maintain $800,000 in reserve and spend only $200,000," says Massey. "We may withdraw $200,000 per year for each year of our agreement with Boeing. This provides an assurance to Boeing that their sponsorship will properly span five years."
And as for a projected profit of nearly $200,000 for 2012-13, Massey said, "we budget revenue, but don't always get it."
Surplus revenue, if there is any, goes under "retained earnings." The current balance on this asset sits at about $900,000.
"That might seem like a lot, but we have found that it is important to maintain this for two reasons. First, unanticipated, unbudgeted emergencies. If it were necessary, we must be prepared to purchase, on very short notice, any product or service needed on race day. Second, a solid bank balance for our year-round functions."
Massey adds that most of the Bridge Run's revenue arrives in February and March, but that it has expenses year-round.
Massey and Schrecker, both avid runners, say the Bridge Run is different from many large, for-profit race events in that it keeps most of the money at home in the Lowcountry.
"I'm proud of the Bridge Run's international reputation and the number of participants we attract," says Massey. "But I'm even more proud of the fact we are home grown, locally sponsored, and nonprofit."

William Caballero
Principal Horn
The 2012-2013 Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (PSO) Season represents William Caballero's 24th year as its Principal Horn. Before joining the PSO in May 1989, Caballero previously held Principal Horn positions with the Houston Symphony, Houston Grand Opera and Hartford Symphony. He held Third Horn positions with the Montreal Symphony, Montreal Opera, and acting Third Horn with the Boston Symphony and Boston Pops. He has also performed as guest Principal Horn with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the St. Louis Symphony.
Born in New Mexico and reared in Wisconsin, Caballero's early horn studies included working under Larry Simons, Barry Benjamin and Basil Tyler, as well as studying the piano and pipe organ. Caballero graduated from New England Conservatory in Boston where he studied with Richard Mackey and Thomas Newell, both former members of the Boston Symphony.
Currently, Caballero is the Associate Teaching Professor of Horn at Carnegie Mellon University School of Music and chairs the Brass Department. Previously, he held teaching positions at Indiana University Bloomington, Rice University in Houston, Texas, and Duquesne University. He has been invited and presented master classes throughout the world including Northwestern University, Colburn School of Music, New England Conservatory, University of Indiana Bloomington, Cleveland Institute of Music, Curtis Institute of Music, Manhattan School of Music, New World Symphony, and the Beijing and Shanghai Conservatories. This past summer, he joined the faculty of the Aspen Music Festival as performer and teacher. For the previous seven summers, Caballero was on the faculty at the Pacific Music Festival in Sapporo, Japan.
In January 2012, Caballero began a collaboration with the Internet music teaching company ArtistWorks.com based in Napa, California. With a target release date of September 2012, Caballero's complete horn teaching curriculum will be available on the ArtistWorks.com website for horn students worldwide.
Caballero is also in demand as a chamber musician collaborating with musicians such as violinists Gil Shaham, Joseph Silverstein and Philip Setzer, and pianists Andre' Previn, Christoph Eshenbach, Orli Shaham and Andre Watts. William has also performed and worked with jazz musician and composer Chris Brubeck, as well as ensembles that include the Tokyo String Quartet, Trio Johannas, Principal Strings of the Berlin Philharmonic, Center City Brass, Bay Chamber Concert Series, St. Barth's Music Festival, and the Grand Teton Music Festival. He is also a member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Brass which includes fellow colleagues of the Pittsburgh Symphony Brass section.
Recent chamber music performances include performing Brahms' Horn Trio in E-flat major with Gil and Orli Shaham in Zankel Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall, New York and appearing several times live on National Public Radio's (NPR) "Performance Today" in NPR's Washington, D.C. studios.
This is Caballero's first appearance as soloist with Maestro Honeck performing the PSO premiere of Strauss Horn Concerto No. 1. Other solo appearances this year have included performances in Montenegro with Maestro Ronald Zollman (March 2012) and with the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic at New York City's Carnegie Hall under the baton of Principal Horn of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Dale Clevenger.
In May 1992, Caballero premiered Benjamin Lees' Concerto for Horn and Orchestra with the PSO under the baton of then-Music Director Lorin Maazel. Following the performances in Pittsburgh, he performed Lees' Concerto in Spain, Germany, and England with the PSO on tour. In May 1996, Caballero recorded the concerto with the PSO and Lorin Maazel for New World Records.
During the PSO's 2011 European Festivals Tour, Caballero – and the PSO horn section he leads – received rave reviews. Michael Church of The Independent called Caballero "a principal horn whose pianissimo is simply miraculous," and Guy Dammann wrote in The Guardian, "The horn section – led very much from the front by their excellent principal William Caballero – is one of the best in the business." In its September 2012 review of the PSO's Exton recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 5, Gramophone magazine wrote, "Pittsburgh's first horn is as spectacular as any on disc."
Other previous solo performances with the PSO have included Richard Strauss' Horn Concerto No. 2 in E-flat with Maestro Maazel, Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 2 in E-flat with Maestro Andre Previn, Mozart Concerto fragments with PSO Concertmaster Andres Cardenes, Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings with Maestro Stanislaw Skrowaczewski and tenor, Anthony Griffey, Schumann's Konzertstück in F, for four horns and orchestra with his PSO horn colleagues under the baton of Maestro Sir John Elliot Gardener, and the John Williams Horn Concerto under the baton of Maestro Leonard Slatkin.
William holds the PSO's Anonymous Foundation Principal Horn Chair.

May 6, 1924 – June 12, 2013
Ethel E. Marshall, a prolific athlete who earned many badminton titles, died June 12 in Weinberg Campus, Getzville. She was 89.
Born in Buffalo, Ms. Marshall attended Bennett High School and North Park Business School. She was an office supervisor at Bell Aerospace for 23 years, office manager of Borden Chemical for 18 years and worked part time as a badminton instructor in the Town of Amherst Recreation Department for 50 years.
Ms. Marshall claimed 27 national badminton titles, earning her a spot in the National Badminton Hall of Fame. Her titles include being a seven-time U.S. National Singles Women's Champion, two-time U.S. Doubles Champion and 11-time U.S. Senior Ladies Doubles Champion.
She was a member of the national Women's 1957 Uber Cup team, helping to bring home the Uber Cup title that year.
She earned local and national recognition for her athletic abilities and, in addition to the National Badminton Hall of Fame, was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 1991 and USA Badminton Walk of Fame in 2003.
Ms. Marshall was also a sports clinician between 1967 and 1972, teaching badminton across North America. She went on to instruct 12 U.S. Junior badminton champions and several world-class players. Ms. Marshall also volunteered as an instructor at St. Mary's School for the Deaf.
Ms. Marshall's lifelong love for the game of badminton started at 16, when she attended a Friday night match hosted by women in their 30s.
"I thought, 'This is a great game,' " Ms. Marshall told a Buffalo News reporter in 2005. "You've got to think. If you don't think, you don't win."
The reporter spoke with Ms. Marshall after her fourth hip surgery in 2005, but the then-81 year-old remained in high spirits as she talked about her enthusiasm for sports.
"I like to have fun," the self-taught player said at the time. "I don't have time for serious people. You only have one short life, so you might as well enjoy it, and I really have met so many wonderful people through badminton and tennis."
Survivors include her sister, Ruth Marshall Barth.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday in Calvary Episcopal Church, 20 Milton St., Williamsville.

What is the key to building a successful sports program?
Ask any coach this question and theyll give the same answer:
Teach them young.
Berkeley Lady Stags softball coach Boogie Grooms has voiced the same mantra in regard to the building of a long term successful girls softball program at BHS.
For Grooms, in his second year heading the Lady Stags, its about getting middle school softball players exposed to the Lady Stags softball way.
We have seventh and eighth grade girls good enough to play varsity sports at just 12 and 13 years of age, he said. By the time a lot of these girls reach high school, if we havent taught them how we play softball here and what we expect, its almost too late.
This year for the first time in the schools history the Lady Stags softball program was able to field a B-team, a third tier team beneath varsity and JV with a roster filled with middle school aged players.
Riley McKelvey, a longtime Lady Stags assistant coach, heads up the B-team.
With the success of the varsity and JV softball program that we had last year and the ongoing success this year, it really shows what direction everybody wants this program to be headed in, McKelvey said. This new team wouldnt have been possible without the support of Principal Steven Steele, Athletic Director Jeff Cruce, and head softball coach Boogie Grooms.
According to McKelvey, the B-team fielded 19 players on its roster to start the program this year, which consist of middle school seventh and eight graders.
Weve scheduled a four team schedule that plays four-game tournaments at each school sights per weekend, he said.
The four teams are Berkeley, Timberland, Hanahan, and Stratford.
We hope that this years B-team startup program will encourage other schools to participate next year.
The Lady Stags closed out the season on April 12 at Stratford, playing both Stratford and Hanahan, splitting with a win over the B-Knights and a loss to the B-Hawks to finish the season with a 3-3-2 record.
We played some good softball teams in the area, McKelvey said. Timberland, Stratford and Hanahan all have very deep softball programs.
Berkeleys squared off with Timberland for its season opener on March 15. The B-Stags defeated Stratford and Timberland.
On March 22, the B-Stags hosted the second tournament and dropped two games to Hanahan and Timberland, putting their record for the season at 2-2.
On April 5, the B-Stags traveled to Hanahan for the third tournament of the season where games with Hanahan and Timberland ended in ties due to time limit restrictions, which put their record at 2-2-2.
This has really been an exciting season for myself, assistant coach David Brabham, the volunteer coaches, the B-team parents and especially to the Lady Stags program, McKelvey said. The program will have a number of B-team players from this year squad to keep an eye on for the future.
The 2014 Berkeley Lady Stags B-Team consists of Maddysn Fernett, McKenna Anderson, Morgan Grady, Haylee Wilkerson, Savannah Dean, Vanessa Coolen, Olivia Free, MacKenzie Lambert, Raelee Brabham, Rilee Driggers, Ariel Hurley, Julie Crosby, Kaylee Baggott, Paris Beaufort, Evie Wilson, Kiyla Morris, Savannah Whetzel, Cheyenne Sanders and Kaylie Schindledecker.

Have and not need; don't need and not have
January 24, 2013
I have a little more information about the term "assault weapon." There is such a thing as an "assault weapon." These are used by armies to fight wars. These weapons are fully automatic rifles....
But that's the problem, Squirm: There are people who DON'T know what they are talking about, who don't let their lack of expertise keep them from crusading for or against stuff.

It's not only an outside invasion we need to worry about. It's the enemy within !
