As the editors of the seminal 1988 NLG history put it: "For years after the release of HUAC report, millions of people must have assumed that the Guild's full name was National Lawyers Guild: Legal Bulwark of the Communist Party."
Such humor was not easy to come by in September 1950, when the Congressional committee printed the report in a push to have the NLG listed as a subversive organization and to disbar its members. The document reads as a 50-page laundry list of Guild activities that the committee claims mirror official Communist Party platforms, activities including representation of witnesses before HUAC itself, stances on foreign policy, involvement in the founding of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL), and criticism of illegal surveillance of political groups by the FBI. The report's authors labeled the IADL a "Communist-front" organization whose affiliation made the Guild "an agent of a foreign principal." The FBI, meanwhile, was described glowingly (in the context of Guild documentation of its crimes) as "the vigilant guardian of our national security."
The report also took special care to name the entire NLG executive board and outline the affiliations of prominent members to other supposed "Communist enterprises." In the paranoid political atmosphere of the McCarthy era any such mention was a professional liability, if not a death sentence. And indeed, the following decade would see Guild members flee the organization in droves.
On the heels of the report, the NLG executive board circulated a rebuttal. The statement warned against hysteria, questioned the merits of the "subversive" label, and re-emphasized the need to criticize government overreach. It also took pains to stress the need for measured discussion and outlined the irony of a committee that claimed to protect democracy by issuing blanket statements of guilt by association.
However, in the wake of a series of sensational events around the world—China's "fall" to communism, the arrests of German physicist Klaus Fuchs and the Rosenbergs for atomic espionage—and with U.S. politicians gearing up for war in Korea, those cautious words were to be lost in a rising wave of fear.

Sonic the Hedgehog is the reason I got into gaming. I'm not trying to over-dramatise that, as I'm sure if it wasn't for him there would be some other 90s mascot that triggered my lifelong hobby - Donkey Kong, perhaps. It definitely wouldn't have been Mario, however, because he's always struck me as a bit of a twat despite being the star of many wonderful games. But for me it was Sonic, and that means something.
You can always spot someone who grew up on SEGA, as they tend to have a more entertaining and developed sense of humour than children of the SNES. They also don't take things so seriously. Maybe it's because they realise the Mega Drive had worse games. Here's the reality: Nintendo won. But SEGA had Comix Zone and Streets of Rage, which is more than Nintendo will ever be able to say.
And it had Sonic. It had Sonic 2. Maybe Super Mario World was a better game, but it will never hold a candle to Sonic 2. It doesn't have the same feeling, and it certainly doesn't have the soul.
The Mega Drive also had the comparative mess that was Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but let's just gloss right over that one for now.
I remember roughly when Sonic the Hedgehog came out in 1991; I would be five in a couple of months, and it was one of the first times when the advertising worked. SEGA in the 90s were pretty much going for the same line that Microsoft would try in 2011 - loads of black everywhere, and the pretence that it was for edgy people who loved the thrill of alternative. SEGA never had as many berks on skateboards, however. To be this good takes AGES? I was hooked.
My cousin had a Mega Drive. His family was slightly better off financially than mine, though at the time I certainly wasn't old enough to understand economics. I saw the game running at his house and I was in love. I needed it. I would go to sleep thinking about Sonic the Hedgehog, and I would talk about Sonic the Hedgehog when I woke up. I don't know if you've ever felt like you have a wide, gaping hole in the core of your being that can only be filled by rampant consumerism relating to one particular item, but that's how I felt about Sonic. I asked, begged, and pleaded for a Mega Drive with Sonic the Hedgehog.
I got a Master System with no games, which meant I had to make do with Alex Kidd in Miracle World - it was built-in to the machine. It was cheaper, and my Mum and Dad couldn't afford a Mega Drive. I was devastated, but the Christmas when my Dad plugged in the Master System will be the most memorable of my entire life, at least until I have kids of my own.
Eight months later - eight - and it was my birthday. I was allowed a present. I asked for Sonic the Hedgehog on the Master System. It wasn't the same as the Mega Drive version, of course, and it certainly didn't burst out of the screen glistening with the colour palette of a bag of Skittles, but it still had something. It was fast. It was beautiful. The level design was still pretty good despite the complete lack of Sonic's defining loop-de-loop moments.
I played it every day for months. Here's a fact for the kids of today: there was no way to save and resume your progress in this game. I still beat it, however. Sonic the Hedgehog on the Master System was the first game I ever completed.
I eventually got a Mega Drive. I had to beg for it, mind, but my Mum eventually relented and broke down - it cost her far more money than she had, and she had to buy it on credit and spent absolutely years paying it off. I am convinced nobody will ever do something of this significance for me again in my entire life.

It's been a long four years, but AMD
has finally hits its stride after its acquisition of ATI Technologies
way back in 2006. After agreeing to purchase
ATI for $5.4B, AMD was besieged with quarterly losses stemming
from the purchase, constant pressure from NVIDIA in the graphics
market, and beatdowns from Intel (who wasn't exactly playing
by the rules of fair business) in the processor market.
With most
of its troubles now behind it, AMD is looking to kill off the
long-standing ATI brand and bring Radeon and FirePro graphics
solutions solely under the AMD umbrella according to AnandTech.
According to AMD's own research in
markets from around the world, it came
to the following three conclusions:
The move will also help to further
consolidate AMD's branding which has pretty much gotten out of hand
in the past few years [see figure on right]. AMD will begin the
transition later this year to phase out ATI branding and move to a
more simplified product branding lineup. By 2011, AMD's product
lineup will consist of AMD's Opteron for server processors, Vision
(which consists of a CPU/GPU hybrid) for consumer processors, and
Radeon/FirePro for graphics.
With AMD now taking the discrete
graphics market lead from NVIDIA (51.1 percent for AMD versus
44.5 percent for NVIDIA) and preparing to take the fight straight to
Intel with three
new CPU designs, the next year should be a fruitful one for
quote: Precisely. And for virtually everything that a user would do with a computer, using a $50 motherboard would not make any perceptible difference in performance to the user.
quote: Yeah, I totally know what U mean brah!!! Like just the other day, I was all like looking at this can of corn, and it cost like only 35 cents... u could totally tell that the can of corn that cost a dollar was better... I mean it had 2 more oz of corn, only some cheapo's would buy that other corn. Me on the other hand, I buy the higher quality can of corn with 2 more oz of corn... /end retardation
quote: Seriously, once you figure out that 90% of people only use a computer for surfing the web, you may be able to have a conversation that isn't full of your ineptitude and e-peen. Oh, and when you pay for that quad sli mobo and buy four video cards, I laugh when just 6 months later a new card would perform just as much, with a quarter of the heat and electricity usage. But by all means, get what makes you happy, keep up with the joneses or nobody is gonna respect you.

See if this makes any sense to you: Altoona and Hollidaysburg are located right next to each other.
The football conference they are in doesn't allow them to play each other. In fact, neither Altoona nor Hollidaysburg can play any team that actually could be considered local.
State College is a member of the Mid-Penn Conference. Their closest league rival is now nearby Mifflin County. Mifflin is closer to the Harrisburg area, and the rest of its league schedule is little more than an hour away.
DuBois isn't in a league. They've been playing a series of smaller schools because they just can't find enough Quad-A schools to schedule. Friday they played Warren. Central Mountain is in a similar position. Friday, they played Tyrone, a class AA school.
So in order to secure an appropriate football schedule, most of the central PA bigger schools have joined conferences that they don't belong in geographically - and gas isn't getting any cheaper.
In some cases, they don't belong in these conferences competitively, either.
Nothing against the kids from central PA, but outside of State College and on occasion Altoona and Hollidaysburg, these programs rarely produce NCAA Division I talent in football.
Well, Central Mountain does boast of its NFL kicker, Robbie Gould, but some of the opposition's benches are filled with players who'll continue to play football after high school and perhaps get paid to play some day.
I've been asked numerous times this season, "Why does Altoona play in the WPIAL?"
The answers are complicated. There was a day when Altoona could have competed well with the best in the WPIAL. There was a day when Altoona graduated twice what they do now.
Those days are gone.
The WPIAL and Mid-Penn are not great from top to bottom. But the top teams are very good - good to the point that they would beat our teams 10 out of 10 times.
I am not being critical of the local players. They're overachieving in some cases and holding their own against all odds in others. With the increasing field of Quad-A schools in the region, it's time to gather everyone together and start playing a central PA schedule.
Altoona, Hollidaysburg, State College, Central Mountain, Mifflin County and DuBois make six schools that could play every year. I've heard Williamsport and perhaps an Erie team may be willing to join a Central PA league as well.
My answer to the inquisitive is that Altoona and the others play out of the area for scheduling security. And I make sure I tell them it's time to get a Central PA league together.
Last Friday night (Oct. 19), Altoona played Central Catholic at Woodland Hills High School. State College played Carlisle, and Hollidaysburg played Mars (not the planet).
How silly.

quote: Italian tire maker Pirelli is predicting that over the next decade or two standard tires will change to really tall (>20" rims) narrow tires that look similar to the wagon wheel inspired ones used on early cars. Doing this will let them make the tires significantly narrower (for reduced drag/rolling resistance leading to better fuel economy) while maintaining a similar size contact patch so that traction remains similar to current tires.
quote: Just wondering, what is the advantage of larger wheels? Is handling that much better? Won't tires be much more expensive, and the ride quality worse?
quote: Why not offer it without leather and the same wheels as the Eco which are only 17 lbs apiece?
quote: This is GM's first foray into a compact diesel in the U.S. in quite some time, and they're being cautious. They want to make sure that they hit their target market on the first go round, and not be stuck with a lot full of unsold stripper diesels that no one wants.

University of Northern Colorado running back Tromaine Dennis would like nothing better than to be THE man in the Bears backfield again next season.
However, he knows he's got some pretty stiff competition to keep that job.
Dennis, a transfer from Butte College (Oroville, Calif.) last season, became the Bears' primary tailback as the season went along and had a strong finish to the season. He rushed for more than 100 yards in three of the last five games for the Bears, including 222 yards in the season finale at North Dakota.
Dennis finished fifth in the Big Sky Conference in rushing with 948 yards and 10 touchdowns, fourth highest touchdown totals in the conference last season.
He also managed to be one of the few UNC running backs that remained healthy throughout the season.
However, this spring the Bears are healthy at the running back spot, including the return of 2011's leading rusher Quentin Hildreth and junior Robert Holland, who was productive last season with a 4.5-yard-per-carry average in a limited role.
Even after his strong finish last year, Dennis said he knows the competition for the starting running back spot will be fierce and that he can't rest on his laurels.
"I do believe that I am the front runner for the job, but it is mine to lose," Dennis said. "If I mess up or do anything, the job can be taken away."
It's that kind of attitude that UNC coach Earnest Collins Jr. likes to see from all of his running backs. Despite Dennis' strong finish last season, Collins still considers it an open competition for the starting running back spot that probably won't be decided until the fall when the full complement of running backs are in the fold, included highly touted freshman Darius Graham, a three-star recruit out of Lawton, Okla.
"For me, more is always better because you just never know who is going to go down and who is going to get banged up," Collins said. "So for us to have three or four running backs that we trust that are healthy but are going to play with us — not even including the two freshmen that are coming in — it is a great deal for us because you've got to have that depth, especially at that position."
Collins found that out last year when Dennis was the only running back to play in all 11 games. It was the same in 2011 when Holland was the only back to play in all 11 games.
Hildreth missed two games in 2011 after transferring from the University of Colorado but still managed to finish as the Bears' leading rusher with 388 yards. He looked to be the front-runner for the starting job last year but missed all of spring ball after suffering a hernia and was never quite healthy the rest of the season as he missed four games with plantar fasciitis in his foot.
However, this season, Hildreth is nearly back to full strength and ready to battle Dennis for that starting spot after getting himself into great shape coming into spring and getting his body fat count down.
"In football you're never at 100 (percent). There is always bumps and bruises, you've just got to play with that stuff," Hildreth said. "I had my hernia last spring so I wasn't able to work out all summer so I came into (fall) camp a little out of shape (last year). So, it was really disappointing. Off-season is one of the biggest parts of football and I technically didn't have one, so I kind of blame my injuries on that. But I have been working out and just doing everything right, so I am excited."
Dennis is just as excited to get himself prepared for the season. Last year, he came in late in the fall and it took some time for him to get comfortable in the offense. That won't be the case this year.
"Last year it was just such a rush and I couldn't get everything, the details of what I needed to know," Dennis said. "But this year coming in I know what I need to do and I know what I have to do to be successful. So it is a definite relief that I know everything and I am here."

About the Program
About the Program
The Westminster Master of Public Health (MPH) and Certificate in Public Health Program, housed within the School of Nursing and Health Sciences, emphasize the essentials for public health practice in the 21st century. The program lays the foundation that is required to be an effective member of the public health workforce. Graduates are prepared to promote and protect public health and safety through education, service, and the application of evidence-based science. Two options are available. The MPH degree and the Certificate are taught in a "worker-friendly" format: core courses will be offered every two weeks on a Friday and Saturday throughout the semester, and some elective courses are offered in the evenings. For the public health professional, the MPH degree is recognized internationally.
The program is made possible through a very generous donation to the School of Nursing and Health Sciences by philanthropist The Very Reverend Fredrick "Rick" Quinney Lawson. Rev. Lawson has been a long-time supporter of Westminster. He was integrally involved in the creation of the Emma Eccles Jones Center for Nursing and Heath Sciences, which was funded by his great aunt, Emma Eccles Jones' Foundation. As a reverend at St. Marks Cathedral in Salt Lake, Rev. Lawson is uniquely tied to the college since Westminster's nursing program conducts their annual pinning ceremony there. In 2003, he was presented an honorary degree from the college for his genuine concern for the community.

Inspite of its political and economic significance and its traditional cosmopolitan atmosphere Samedan has retained its Engadine art of living. In the village center tradition-rich rows of houses with their Sgraffito offer good photo opportunites and subjects for picture postcards. For the culturally inclined, the village has exciting highlights, especially the renovated church tower "La Tuor". The Planta House surprises people with its museum for living culture. With the Rhaeto-Romanic library and its many books it ensures that Engadine's culture remains a living part of the present.
Samedan is a mecca for glider pilots. Modern trails delight biking enthusiasts. In front of the gates of Samedan the 18-hole golf course makes golfers' hearts beat faster, and in the midst of the historic village center one can bathe on four storeys – from the ground floor to the roof. Not to be missed: the majestic view of the Upper Engadine Lake District from one of the most spectacular panoramic mountains – Muottas Muragl.
The pistes around the Survih Skilift attract families. Thanks to well-built train and bus connections the rest of the ski areas of the region are easily and quickly reached. The cross-country skiing center is recommended for excursions on idyllic cross-country ski runs. On Muottas Muragl one can undertake superb winter hikes on the Philosophers' Trail and slide down the toboggan run on fast skids. Europe's highest lying airport is the starting point for spectacular roundtrip flights in the Engadine mountain world.
- Old St. Peter Parish Church – romanesque tower, around 1200, chancel from 1491, Gothic aisle from 1492.
- Ref. Parish Church in the square – built in 1771, trapezium shaped aisle, tower restored in 1966 and 1999 and described as the most exquisite in Graubünden.
- Plantahaus (The Planta House) – manor house of the Salis family (northern part around 1600, extension of southern part around 1760). The Plantahaus is now owned by the Fundaziun de Planta Samedan and has a valuable Romanesque library.
- Tower Block (Surtour) of the former Lords of Samedan – was built after 1110 and later served as a prison with built-in cells.
Top Events
- Out of the Blue's Festival – on that weekend Samedan turns into a "New Orleans of the Alps" (January).
- Women's Races – 17-km traditional women's cross-country skiing race from Samedan to S-chanf (March).

Everyone knew that the iPhone was going to be big from the
moment it was announced
in early January. Apple CEO Steve Jobs hailed the device as the ultimate in
mobile communications given that it could function as a phone, a mobile
Internet device and as an iPod.
As the months progressed, the hype mushroomed even though
the iPhone lacked a user-replaceable battery, physical keyboard, expansion
slot, voice dialing, A2DP, MMS, iChat, flash support, copy and paste ability
and video recording -- not to mention that the iPhone was tied solely to
It appears that all of the minuses stacked against the
iPhone weren't enough to phase buyers who lined up days in advance to purchase
the latest "it device" from Cupertino. Not even the $499 (4GB) and
$599 (8GB) price tags were enough to keep Apple from selling
around 525,000 iPhones from 6:00 PM Friday evening through close of
business on Sunday.
Nearly all of AT&T's stores were depleted of iPhone
stock by Saturday whereas Apple's retail stores are currently faring much
better (you can check iPhone availability here).
Apple's iPhone launch didn't go off glitch free, however.
Many users complained of activation problems with iPhone. The iPhone can be activated
through iTunes and the steady rush of users scrambling to activate their
phones overloaded AT&T's servers.
"We are working on any issues on an individual basis
with customers who were impacted," said Michael Coe, a representative for
AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel noted that a "small
percentage" of customers were having activation issues. "Our first
priority is to get them up and rolling as quickly as we can," Spiegel
For its part in the matter, an Apple
spokesman simply said "There are a small percentage of iPhone
customers who have had a less than perfect activation experience."
quote: by KristopherKubicki on July 2, 2007 at 2:26 PMAt the Roosevelt and Ashland AT&T store in Chicago, a woman came to the line around 5:30 to see there were about 60 people already in line. She paid the first kid in line $800 for his spot -- the kid went to the back of the line (right behind me). The woman then announced she planned to buy $26,000 worth of iPhones, but if anyone wanted to get one she'd sell some of hers for $1,000 before she put the rest on ebay.Nobody told her until 6PM that this store had a 1 per customer limit (most other stores had a 2 per customer limit). The kid behind me got an iPhone too.
quote: what are you doing over there? that's not the trendy part of town! you need to be seen buying an iphone! make sure you use it often on the train, and loudly.

When the Sabres had energy, they lacked killer instinct and scoring touch. When they ran out of energy, they had no chance.
Buffalo's early season slide continued Sunday with a 4-3 loss to the Florida Panthers. The Sabres have won just once in the last seven games, the third season in a row they've struggled out of the starting gate.
They rebounded the previous two seasons by committing to team defense, and goaltender Ryan Miller wishes they had stored those rallies in their memory bank.
"It's pretty obvious we didn't take into consideration any of the lessons we learned last year," Miller said. "It's pretty plain and simple. It's one thing to try and open up the game. It's another to have control of the puck and try to play a system. If you try and open it up, you're going to get in trouble. Try and play risky, you get in trouble."
Most of the 18,831 who came to First Niagara Center got an early start toward their Super Bowl parties by filing out during the Sabres' listless third period. They booed as they exited.
"We've got to pick it up, and pick it up quick," left wing Marcus Foligno said.
The Sabres opened a 3-1 lead against Florida but didn't have the stamina to maintain it. They did, however, have opportunities to extend it. They couldn't as numerous players failed in their attempts to make it 4-1.
"We had our opportunities in the second period to put them away," coach Lindy Ruff said.
Playing on back-to-back afternoons and for the third time in four days, Buffalo soon ran out of energy. The listlessness started showing late in the second period, and the Sabres had nothing for the third. The result was predictable as the Panthers, who last played on Thursday, pounced.
The Panthers tied the game before the second period ended, and old friend Brian Campbell scored the winner midway through the third. Tomas Kopecky lost the puck near the Buffalo net on a power play, but Campbell pinched from the blue line to rip it home with 10:33 to go.
"We were very flat in the third period and half that second," Sabres left wing Steve Ott said. "The hard part is we had a lot of great scoring opportunities. You let them stick around the game, and it bites you. That's what happened. We had too many quality scoring chances that we didn't capitalize on. The tides turned, and we never found it after that."
The Sabres, who are on a 1-5-1 slide, don't have much time to recover. They play Tuesday in Ottawa and follow that with another stretch of three in four — Thursday at home against Montreal, Saturday in New York against the Islanders and Sunday at home versus Boston.
"We're a little tired, but you can't excuse it," Foligno said. "It's a 48-game schedule. You've got to make sure every game you're going hard."
The Sabres started fine. They needed less than three minutes to show they'd have a better first period than Saturday, as if it was possible to have a worse one than they put forth in the 6-1 loss to Montreal.
Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville combined to get them rolling, as the captain made a no-look, through-the-legs pass onto the stick of Vanek for a one-timer. The crowd roared for the goal with 2:46 gone, then marveled at the replay of Pominville's pass.
After Florida scored on a quick shot after a faceoff, Vanek picked up two assists to put Buffalo up by two. He set up linemate Cody Hodgson and defenseman Alexander Sulzer as the Sabres took their 3-1 lead with 3:49 gone in the second.
Buffalo couldn't widen its lead, though, and it cost the home team. Not long after Tyler Ennis was stopped on a breakaway and fanned on a one-timer, the Panthers mounted a comeback.
Tough guy George Parros cut the Sabres' advantage to 3-2 by getting free from Ennis midway through the second. Seconds after Buffalo's announcer said, "Last minute of play in the second period," Florida struck again on a goal by Peter Mueller.
With nearly all the play at one end of the ice in the third, the pending result became obvious.
"It's easy to start the game, hard to finish," said Miller, whose team was outshot, 33-20. "Coming off back-to-back, you don't have that same energy at the end of the game. You can't get in a hole. You can't get yourself in a situation like that."

Penn State 285-pounder Jon Gingrich is an example of how much hard work in the right atmosphere will pay off.
Gingrich was never a state champion at Bald Eagle Area. In fact, the highest he placed in Hershey was fourth at 215 pounds his junior year in 2009. He didn't even win a bout at states the following year at 215.
And then he backed up Cameron Wade as he redshirted his first year at Penn State and then again last season as a redshirt freshman.
While he was doing that, he was putting on weight to become a college heavyweight, learning what he could from coach Cael Sanderson, working on his flaws in practice and going to open tournaments.
When Wade graduated, the job wasn't given to him. He had to deal with transfer Jimmy Lawson, and the two shared the weight until recently. That's when Gingrich won an elimination bout against Lawson in conditions that were certainly less than ordinary for a elimination.
"It was pretty cool," Gingrich said. "We kind of made it similar to a dual meet. We set a big mat out in the [Rec Hall] gym, and we had the lights dimmed down. [Sanderson] wanted to make it like a real match, so we'd both get the same feeling."
Gingrich hasn't been ranked, but it's a safe bet he will be soon. He's beaten two wrestlers ranked in the top 10 this season, including Michigan State's fourth-ranked Mike McClure, 5-3, on Sunday afternoon at Rec Hall.
Gingrich could be tough for opponents to deal with the rest of the season as his confidence builds with every win.
"Success builds confidence," Sanderson said. "I think it's the greatest builder of confidence. Hopefully, he just keeps going. He's very tough, strong and explosive as you can see."
Not all has come up roses for Gingrich. He didn't place at the Southern Scuffle, losing to Missouri's eventual champion Dominique Bradley and then lost his first consolation bout.
"The Scuffle didn't go as planned," Gingrich said. "I had every intention of going down and winning it. After I lost, I wasn't focused for my first consolation match, and it showed. Coming back, I kind of knew I can't let this stuff distract me. I need to stay focused. If I do that, I feel like I can beat anybody."
Bearcats get tested again
Huntingdon, ranked third in the Mirror rankings, passed a big test over the weekend when it beat fourth-ranked Philipsburg-Osceola, 36-29, in the Juniata Duals finals. The teams are scheduled to face off again on Jan. 31 at Huntingdon.
The Bearcats will face an even bigger test tonight when they host rival Mount Union. Huntingdon is 8-1, losing only to Bald Eagle Area, 39-27, while Mount Union is 13-1, losing only to West Branch, 40-21.
West Branch appears to be the favorite to win the District 6 Class AA Team Duals, but the Bearcats and the Trojans will have something to say about that.
The Duals finals are set for Feb. 2 at Tyrone High School.
West Branch, ranked sixth by Off the Mat, will face a big test Wednesday night when it hosts fifth-ranked Brookville.

Thursday afternoon, a neighbor spotted flames shooting out of a house and barn on the Crummett Mountain Road. Both structures were destroyed and the body of the homeowner was found inside the farm house. The victim is believed to be Cecil Brann, 92. Police say he lived alone and no one else was hurt. Firefighters dealt with frozen water and hoses throughout the frigid night. They even had to stop all together for a short time when their trucks froze up, but they were able to resume work by morning. Photos from Chief Michael Dostie of Somerville

In response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn., last Friday, President Obama addressed the nation Wednesday morning announcing the appointment of Vice President Joe Biden to head a commission looking into ways to reduce gun violence.
"We may never know why this happened," said the president. "We do know that more people have died from gun violence since last Friday."
Obama expects Biden and his panel to come up with a set of proposals to address the issue by the end of January. Biden has sponsored previous legislation on gun reduction, but the subject has been so unpopular that an assault weapon ban was allowed to expire in 2004, with barely any notice.
"The majority of Americans support banning military style assault weapons. I urge Congress to pass legislation as soon as possible next year," continued Obama.
The president said he believes in the second amendment and the right to bear arms. He also said that he believes the vast majority of gun owners in America are responsible law abiding citizens and that there is a segment of society that supports finding ways to keep guns out of the hands of the few who have unlawful intentions.
"Since Friday morning a policie officer was gunned down in Memphis leaving four childredn without a father," said Obama, naming several deadly events that have occurred across the country since the Sandy Hook shooting, including a child killed in gun crossfire.
The president said he will use all the powers of his office to prevent what happened at Newtown from happening again.
"It won't be easy but it's not an excuse not to try. I can't do it by myself. We will need parents, pastors, law enforcement officials, counselors and gun owners to join in and help support responsible gun safety laws," he said.
A reporter asked why it has taken this long for Obama to get serious about gun safety, when Newtown was not the only massacre in his first term.
"Where have you been?" asked the reporter.
"Well, I've been busy with the worst encomic crisis in recent history, an auto industry on the brink of collapse...two wars...I don't think I've been on vacation," Obama responded bluntly.
Obama went on to say that for the past 15-20 years, any effort to tackle gun safety was seen as an attack on the second amendment and that is not the goal here.
"But it is time to get serious about this issue, because there is a big chunk of space between what the second amendment means and having no rules at all," said the president.
In addition, Biden will be working with stakeholders and other congressional partners in an effort to include new ideas and re-examine old ones, in order to come up with a concrete set of ideas.
The president promised that passions about gun safety would not fade away again after the next event comes along to grab attention: "It can't be that we don't have the sustained attention-span to get this done over the next weeks and months. We will do so and I will be discussing Joe's task force proposals in my State of the Union Address."
When asked about the National Rifle Association, the president said their members include mothers and fathers, too.
"Hopefully, they will do some reflection," he finished.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
A potential new way to mend broken hearts has just gotten a boost, as Athersys received an SBIR fast-track grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to support a Phase II clinical study evaluating the administration of Athersys' MultiStem® therapy to patients who have suffered a heart attack, also known as acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The grant is expected to provide up to $2.8 million in support over the course of the study in connection with study progress and milestone achievement.
MultiStem cell therapy is a regenerative medicine product that, according to Athersys, can promote tissue repair and healing in different ways. In addition to cardiovascular disease, MultiStem has reportedly demonstrated therapeutic potential for the treatment of inflammatory and immune disorders, neurological conditions, and other illnesses. Athersys entered partnerships with Pfizer back in December of 2009 to develop MultiStem for inflammatory bowel disease and with RTI Biologics in September of 2010 to develop a bone allograft product in the orthopedic market.
"The Phase II clinical study will build on the promising results demonstrated previously in our AMI Phase II trial completed in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic, Columbia University Medical Center, Henry Ford, and other leading cardiovascular centers, and is intended to establish definitive proof-of-concept," said Anthony Ting, Ph.D., senior director of cardiovascular and pulmonary at Athersys. "We expect to initiate the study early next year."
This is not the first time the MultiStem program has received an SBIR fast-track grant; it also received one in February of 2012 providing up to $1.9 million from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) to develop MultiStem for the treatment of traumatic brain injury.

Dog found in trash bag in trash bin
Swain County authorities are investigating a case where a dog was found in a trash bin alongside a dead dog.
Thomas Carswell found the dog Wednesday in a container off U.S. 19 outside Bryson City when he was dropping off trash.
Carswell says the dog had pushed his head and paws out of the bag.
Veterinarians at Noah's Ark Companion Animal Hospital in Franklin are caring for the dog, which they named Bryson. They say the dog's muzzle is injured and he may have broken bones in his face but he still wants to eat.
Chief Deputy Jason Gardner of the Swain County Sheriff's Office says authorities do not have a suspect now.
Swain County does not have an animal shelter.

CHAMPION - Only about 8 percent of the students in a five-county area want to pursue a career in manufacturing, according to a study released Tuesday morning.
That number is on par with nationwide trends, but it won't be enough to fill the 13 percent of jobs in the local region that are manufacturing related.
High school junior Andrew Larrison of Hartford and about two dozen of his classmates in the welding program at Trumbull Career and Technical Center are among those expressing interest in the sector.
Article Video
''My grandpa was a welder and also my uncle was a welder,'' Larrison said, noting their careers played a big role in his decision to follow the same path. Larrison said he knows skilled welders are paid well and job security should not be a problem with the oil and natural gas boom locally.
Larrison and his classmates sat in on a presentation Tuesday morning at the school unveiling the results of a recent study of more than 1,000 students ages 12 to 18 in a five-county area about their beliefs regarding manufacturing jobs. The study looked at Trumbull, Mahoning and Columbiana counties in Ohio and Mercer and Lawrence counties in Pennsylvania and was conducted by the Mahoning Valley Manufacturers Coalition, the Manufacturing Industry Partnership of Lawrence and Mercer counties and Prodigal Media Co.
Ironically, the study also determined that 32 percent of the students said they believed the greatest benefit to a manufacturing career is that the sector is "booming" and would provide a good salary supporting the lifestyle they want.

The survey showed that students, like Larrison, who have family members in the manufacturing industry are more likely than others to enter the field.
In an attempt to grow the number of workers, Eric Karmecy, assistant director of the Workforce Development for the West Central Job Partnership in Western Pennsylvania, said a recently allocated $6 million grant will be put to use training and educating potential workers. The grant will help fund things like internships, apprenticeships, on-the-job training and other job experience in the field, he said.
TCTC was chosen to host Tuesday's event because the school offers more than 30 manufacturing-related courses. Beginning next year the high school will add a new Manufacturing Technology program, said TCTC supervisor Mary Flint. The classes will be taught by instructor Todd VanOrman at the neighboring Trumbull campus of Kent State University.
VanOrman said he has spent much time speaking with area manufacturers about what students need to know. Interestingly, he said soft skills, like math, came up frequently in those conversations.
The program will focus on things like auto CAD, blueprint reading, basic welding, machining, cast metals, basic electricity and more.
''We are going to make it a 'jack-of-all-trades' type class,'' VanOrman said.

Mavs Donuts: 'We Need Some Work' - Dirk
The Dallas Mavericks were hoping to get a booster shot of some sort from the return of Dirk.
Instead it was SA who made all the shots in a 192-91 blowout. The Spurs made a franchise record 20 three-pointers and ruined the season debut of Dirk. And what the Mavs did was, it seems, give something less than maximum effort.
Dallas coach Rick Carlisle bemoaned his team's "lack of competitiveness, selfishness and a lack of commitment to each other."
Meaning, who? Meaning, everybody. Meanwhile, the Spurs got 25 points from Danny Green, 18 points and six assists form Tony Parker, and 17 points from Kawhi Leonard.
In his first game since undergoing arthroscopic right knee surgery on Oct. 19, Nowitzki played 20 minutes, scored eight points, grabbed six rebounds and collected one steal.
"I tried to give it a go,'' said Nowitzki, who was 3-of-4 from the field and showed no discomfort (outside of when he glanced up at the scoreboard). "I knew my minutes were going to be limited, but I just gave it a go.''
Dirk came off the bench with 6:28 remaining and immediately got into the action with a rebound. Soon after he dunked home a finish in transition.
Oddly, he wasn't at all the problem.
"As a team,'' Dirk Nowitzki said, "we've got a long way to go. ... 'We need some work. That was obviously embarrassing.''
Danny Green made seven of 'em. Nine Spurs made at least one. "It was just one of those games where everything we did worked," said Tony Parker, who made both of his tries.
"It was one of those nights where your opponent has a bad night and you have a great night," said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, whose team made 20 of 20 from the arc. "There's not much you can do when the other team makes 20 3's."
A sick sight: The SA shooting chart from the arc:
The Mavericks committed 20 turnovers ... again.
O.J. Mayo was again a culprit with six cough-ups. And then of course the trio of PG candidates that Rick is waiting on did their version of "too little,'' too.
DoJo got the start, finishing with five points and two turnovers. Darren Collison was next, and he did score 15 points -- continuing to demonstrate that he simply must be the guy who wins the job. DC had two assists while committing two turnovers. Third-teamer Roddy B was lost and non-existent in 12 minutes.
"I'd like to get out of the point guard business," Carlisle said. "I'd like for a couple of our young guys to jump up and grab the starting spot and the backup spot and have one guy in reserve. ... And I think those guys have the abilities to do it. But it just hasn't happened yet."
Instead, what is happening is that Dallas is committing 20 turnovers on such a regular basis that it seems a cinch to reach eight games of such poor play ... which would tie a franchise record for futility.
Dallas is now at seven. And the Mavs' record when they give it up 20 times, as you might imagine, is 2-5.
This is the most games with 20-plus turnovers for a Mavericks team since the 1997-98 season … a season that stands as the fourth worst in franchise history (by winning percentage), as they finished 20-62.
Want to project to the level of the ridiculous? These Mavs are on pace for just over 18 games of 20-plus turnovers for the season.
Carlisle's Mavs ARE in the business of PGs who lead a team with an astounding number of turnovers. It's funny business.
A personal aside or two, one about Dirk and the way he handles himself and one about DB.com and the way we handle ourselves.
Dallas being 12-16 is tough. Weird. This is our third decade doing this at DallasBasketball.com and I don't know that it's ever been quite this gloomy.
But we have the unique opportunity to wear all the hats we want to wear here: Journalist hats. Fan hats. Analyst hats. Homer hats. Our guidelines are largely our own.
This would be an opportune time for some to run. To cover the team less intensely, to care less deeply, to root less passionately. This would be an opportune time to run.
Have you ever seen me run? It's not my thing.
I'm not running.
Nor, by the way, is someone who does athletic things infinitely more gracefully than most of the rest of us.
Dirk can now run, too. But not in the wrong direction. So before you even start -- and we've known each other here for 14 years so I know some of you will start -- this is DIRK'S TEAM.
He's embarrassed by the performance in HIS team.
In sports, there are back-stabbers and mind-changers and ship-jumpers. And there's The UberMan.
This is DIRK'S TEAM. Running from that solves nothing. Keep that in mind, if you care to continue to pay attention, as he joins forces with the suits to try to get this thing fixed.
Our guy Ryan at MavCowTickets knows the ins and outs of the Mavs, the Rangers, the Cowboys, the arenas, the opponents ... the works! For the most personal service in the business -- with no stupid add-on costs -- check him out and tell him The Fish sent you!
"At one point we were down 46 points. That's some bull----.'' -- Shawn Marion.
"Our basketball IQ obviously went down with J-Kidd (leaving). That's pretty obvious." -- Dirk.
DONUT 9: WANT MORE MAVS? FISH ON 'THE FAN' ... We've got the best and deepest coverage of the Mavs available anywhere ... take our free seven-day trial and then get your Mavs gold for pennies! Go Mavs and Go Premium!
By the way, we take that same focus that we provide on the Mavs here on DB.com and apply it to the Mavs and the Cowboys on 105.3 The Fan. Listen live here for some Fish on Football and for breaking Mavs stuff, too ... throughout today and every day ... and we'll take you inside the teams in every possible way!
Oh, and this week, Fish co-hosts with Chris Arnold from 2 to 7 on Monday and then from 10 to 2 Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!
For most of Sunday, the "new guy anticipation'' was reserved for the Mavs debut of Chris Douglas-Roberts, the call-up from Frisco.
Obviously, a "new old guy debut'' usurped CDR's appearance in the game, which amounted to playing nine minutes and 3-of-4 on free throws.
"He's a guy who has proven he can score in [the NBA], but he did a lot of things (in Frisco), making plays for other guys, showed a real aptitude for the all-around game and defended well,'' Carlisle said. "I think he's a basketball player. He could play any of the perimeter positions for us."
Douglas-Roberts, a three-year NBA veteran, fills the roster spot created by the asked-for release of point guard Derek Fisher. (Carlisle, by the way, has nothing but good things to say about Fish and his desire to "spend more time with his family.'' I'll wait to pass judgment until I'm certain "family'' doesn't translate to "Lakers.'')
CDR was a D-League standout during his 11 games with the Legends, averaging a league-high 22.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists working under coach Eddie Najera.
"Offense comes naturally to me,'' said the 6-foot-7, 210-pound Douglas-Roberts, who might be able to do some point-forward stuff but as a former second-round pick isn't quite blue-chip enough to me to be considered anything more than a LIBB.
Of course, at this point, Lightning In A Bottle Boys might help bring a little excitement to a program that is dragging.
DONUT 11: FOLLOW THE MAVS ON TWITTER ... New to Twitter? Here's where to start!
Follow @fishsports
The Mavs have discovered a sure-fire way to keep Bernard James from Bernarding anybody: Render him inactive.
Don't get it. Don't like it. Don't understand it. Something behind the scenes that we don't know about? I'll find out. But, I mean, it's Sarge; what dastardly deed could he have done?
Don't get it. Don't like it. Don't understand it.
The Mavs don't play again until Thursday. Under normal circumstances, a couple of holiday days off makes sense.
These circumstances, for this franchise, are not normal.
"I'd love to give them two days off but that ain't happening,'' said Carlisle, who will have his club practicing on Christmas Eve.

Additional Information
Like everything else from our kitchen, we make our wild boar sausage with all-natural ingredients. We keep it simple and let the great taste of the meat speak for itself.
Lean wild boar sausage is aromatic and full-flavored with a mellow sweetness from a hint of sherry. The robust pork-like flavor works well in many recipes.
Try wild boar sausages pan-seared or grilled, served with caramelized onions and grainy mustard. Or simmer in Sunday sauce and ladle over your favorite pasta.
We like to use this sausage in poultry stuffing. But your imagination is the only limit. Why not try crumbled wild boar sausage as a topping on your next pizza?
Just the facts
- Made with truly wild boar
- Natural diet of grass, roots, nuts, fruits, acorns and grains
- Humanely-trapped
- No hormones, no antibiotics
- Handmade in small batches
- No artificial ingredients or fillers
- 4 links per package
- Gluten-free
- Contains pork
- Contains alcohol
- Sold in an uncooked state
- Product of USA
- Use within 3-5 days of receipt
D'Artagnan partners with experienced trappers in Texas to provide the best wild boar on the hoof. Our wild boar is actually wild, and is humanely cage trapped in Texas, and then brought to USDA-inspected plants where it is processed in the same way as farm-raised hogs.
The omnivorous wild boar has a voracious appetite and will eat everything from greens, native roots and acorns to agricultural crops. As you might imagine, they are considered a nuisance by farmers and ranchers.
Because of the growing numbers of wild boar, the law permits year-round hunting of these feral hogs. By using large cages that do not harm the boar, our trapping process allows this game meat to be marketed under the USDA law, which forbids hunted game to be sold.
This means that we can enjoy the primal taste of wild boar without having to do any of the hard work. It just doesn't get any wilder than this.

LEGO Star Wars Review
You can call Lego Star Wars a kid's game if you like, but it has a universal appeal to children of all ages.
When you were a child, a parent or teacher probably told you "Stop that. It's not big and it's not clever." The latter half of this phrase sums up Lego Star Wars more concisely than any other erudite turn of phrase I could dare hope to come up with. It's not big, and it's not clever, but it's as much fun as what you were told to stop doing with that very phrase all those years ago.
Lego Star Wars takes two of the most appealing things children of all ages have ever known, and has fused them seamlessly into probably the most charming game I've had the pleasure of playing. The developers have taken the Lego theme and have run with it with imagination and humour. All the locations in the game are recognisably from the films, and they're exactly as you'd imagine them to be, had you been given a 1,000,000 piece Lego set and been asked to build them. The game has a wonderfully retro look, thanks to the blockiness of Lego pieces, but that hasn't given the developers an excuse to skimp on the graphics engine. It's a very aesthetically appealing game, and that appeal spills over into just about every aspect of the game.
For example, Jedi characters can (obviously) influence their environment with the Force. This is made obvious to the player by a coloured aura surrounding an object. When you see one of these glowing auras, pressing and holding down the B button will make you interact with it using the Force. Battle droids can be pushed backwards into walls, making them break into their individual Lego pieces, and objects such as crates, can be lifted and stacked up, allowing you to gain access to otherwise out of reach areas. There are also environmental puzzles, which can only be solved using the Force. Rubble can be manipulated to form ramps or steps, and retractable platforms can be pulled out into place. The physics involved may be simplistic at best, but the way you can manipulate these Lego blocks at the touch of a button never fails to delight. I was almost in tears of laughter at the very start of the game, when I used the Force on the chairs around the negotiating table, and they danced to the Cantina Band tune from the Mos Eisley cantina. I had to do it a second time, just to make sure my senses hadn't deceived me.
'Lego Star Wars is a game that sets out to satisfy the very simple pleasures'
Lego Star Wars is a game that sets out to satisfy the very simple pleasures. It has been unashamedly pitched at the 5-12 year old market, but that shouldn't deter Star Wars fanatics of any age, provided that they approach the game knowing whom it was made for. Whilst I may be able to dissect the game and suggest any number of improvements that would have enhanced the gameplay, to do so would be futile. The game was designed for a far more forgiving audience than the cynical 30-year-old videogames hack.
Given the young target audience, necessity has kept the interface very simple. Movement controls aren't as fine as older players such as myself would like, but are more than efficient enough to be able to complete the game without too much frustration, provided you remember not to rush. Likewise, the 3D camera is a little finicky. Without the ability to control the camera, a few of the camera angles will frustrate more experienced gamers, but importantly, they never make the game completely unplayable, only mildly irksome. Combat is very simplistic, with only a pair of combo attacks to speak of, but again, thanks to the beautiful aesthetic presentation, it's never unsatisfying. Fighting with Jedi characters is by far the most enjoyable. Jedi have the unique ability to deflect blaster fire, and each Jedi has a very different fighting style: Qui-Gon Jinn is the most flamboyant, with fancy backstabs and flourishes; Mace Windu is devastatingly direct, with slower cuts and stronger slashes; whilst Yoda is the veritable whirling dervish, as seen at the conclusion to Attack of the Clones.
Given this obvious combat-bias, you would think that there would be no incentive to play the game using anything other than Jedi characters. Fortunately, thanks to some very canny character balancing and level design, not everything in the game can be achieved using the main Jedi characters. Blaster-based characters, such as Queen Amidala and Chewbacca, have advantages Jedi do not. Their Ascension Gun ability allows them to reach places other beers (sorry, characters) cannot reach, which allows players to collect power-ups in Free Play that would otherwise be unobtainable during Story Mode. Likewise, some doors can only be opened using droid characters such as R2-D2 and C-3PO, meaning that some parts of the game have been designed to be inaccessible on the first play through. Replayability has been factored into the game design from its initial conception, which is just as well, considering how short the game is. With only 17 levels, each taking only around 10-20 minutes each, the game can be completed in just one evening's solid play, if you really hammer through it.

SAP wants to make its APIs as easy to consume for developers as Twitter or Facebook do for their communities. In this interview with SAP's Joav Bally and Apigee's Ed Anuff, we discuss a new partnership between SAP and Apigee and why marketing and all aspects of a business really have to transform if it wants to play in the API economy.
Wednesday, August 20, 2014
This year's I Love APIs Conference, organized by Apigee (to be held Sept. 8-10 in San Francisco), targets the business side of API strategy and unpacks the role APIs are playing in the digital transformation of business.

The Sacramento Police Officers Association (SPOA) has been serving the interests of law enforcement since 1969. We have a long tradition of strongly advocating for our membership and of recognizing the needs in our community.
The SPOA's membership consists of active, reserve and retired police officers, sergeants, dispatchers, park rangers and community service officers. We are the bargaining unit recognized by the City of Sacramento for these classifications and our eleven-member elected Board of Directors make up the governing body of the organization.
I look forward to a continued great relationship with the citizens of Sacramento and with leadership within the police department and at City Hall.
