Work Shooting Kills Nine
Driver at Connecticut Beer Distributor Faced Dismissal Before Morning Rampage
A truck driver facing possible dismissal from a beer and wine distributor fatally shot eight co-workers Tuesday outside Hartford, Conn., before apparently killing himself, authorities said.
The suspect, identified by authorities as 34-year-old Omar Thornton, opened fire about 7:30 a.m. at the Manchester warehouse of Hartford Distributors after a disciplinary hearing during which he was confronted with evidence he had stolen beer, according to local police and an official with the union that represents workers at the company.
At the hearing, Manchester police said, Thornton was given the choice to resign or be fired. He chose to resign and began his shooting spree using a handgun as he was being escorted out of the building, said Lt. Christopher Davis of the Manchester Police Department.
Police didn't identify those killed, pending family notification.
The union local, Teamsters Local 1035, said one of those killed was Bryan Cirigliano, the president of the local who was to attend the meeting with Mr. Thornton. Six other union members were shot and killed, the organization said.
Workers described a chaotic scene as the gunman apparently shot co-workers as he walked through the warehouse in a light industrial area of Manchester, a city of about 55,000 roughly 10 miles east of Hartford.
"Everybody was just running and trying to get out," said one employee.
Workplace violence is always a worry for employers, and concern about it has grown in the tough economic times, both because of the increased number of layoffs and high stress levels for workers.
ComPsych Corp., a provider of employee-assistance programs to more than 13,000 organizations world-wide, reports that requests for crisis counseling related to layoffs have doubled since August 2008.
The Manchester shooting erupted during a shift change and when most administrative workers and the executive staff were arriving for work, said John Hollis, an official with the Connecticut Teamsters.
"It could not have happened at a worse time," he said, estimating that about 100 people were in the building.
Manchester police and Connecticut state police officers responded to the scene and found Mr. Thornton dead at about 8:15 a.m. inside an office in the building, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Lt. Davis said in a statement.
Aside from the alleged shooter, seven people were found dead and three others were taken to a hospital with injuries that varied in severity, Lt. Davis said.
One of the injured died at Hartford Hospital, a hospital spokeswoman said.
An unidentified worker was listed in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds, the spokeswoman said. Steven Hollander, an executive with the family-owned company, was listed in fair condition after being shot in the neck, hospital officials said.
"He is communicating, and he will do well," said Lenworth Jacobs, chief of trauma at Hartford Hospital.
Employees who weren't injured were bused to Manchester High School about four miles away where they were reunited with family members.

Avoiding Tragedy
Philip Deming, a humanresources consultant who specializes in workplace safety and investigations, says there are steps companies can take to lower the risk of workplace violence:
- Train employees to spot and report any unusual behavior by a co-worker. If a normally talkative employee stops being social or a sharp dresser starts under-dressing for work, that could signal a problem.
- Provide an anonymous tip line for employees to report potential problems. Many employees might be hesitant to identify a combative co-worker for fear of retaliation.
- If terminating an employee who has behaved erratically, interview co-workers and managers to see if the employee has ever blamed management or co-workers for money problems or lack of success at work.
"There's a solemn atmosphere—a lot of hugging and tears are plentiful," Mr. Hollis said after meeting with the families.
Jim Battaglio, a spokesman for the Hollander family, which owns the company, said "everyone at the Hartford Distributors is devastated by this tragic and senseless act, right now our focus is on the families and we're working with employees families and police."
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been at the site to provide support and is monitoring the situation, said a Department of Labor spokeswoman.
OSHA will likely look into whether Hartford Distributors had any prior knowledge to indicate that the alleged perpetrator was prone to violence, such as if he had previously threatened other employees, said Ed Foulke, former assistant secretary of labor for OSHA.
"They'll be doing a very detailed investigation," he said. Philip Deming, a human-resources consultant who specializes in workplace safety and investigations. He said managers should prepare carefully for a meeting where an employee might get fired, including running an updated background check on the worker.
"You need to know what implications of being fired are for the employee, so you can better predict how strong his reaction to being fired will be," said Mr. Deming, who didn't have first-hand information about the Connecticut shooting.

Our habit of beginning, as it were, with space and time, as if they were, with space and time, as if they were existents, and then planting a number of objects in them, may be traceable to the Cartesian innovation. Whereas it would perhaps be possible to begin with the process itself—in this case the structural process—and look at the order of events, as it were, from their own point of view. We should then perhaps find that the relation between structure and space is reciprocal and that it is not the inevitable nature of our minds, but the Cartesian abstraction, which makes us find the notion of space without structure less absurd than the notion of structure without space. — Owen Barfield (Unancestral Voice 133)

Hearing people's stories is one of the great things about working here; from military wives to stay-at-home-dads to college students, our Community is a diverse crew with a common goal of rewarded self-expression.
Our Affiliate manager came to me this week to tell me about a really interesting Affiliate, Dan Carbone, who wears a lot of hats: he also happens to be a Shopkeeper, a husband, a dad, and an Army helicopter pilot.
In his words:
I am a member of B Troop, 2nd Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment out of Fort Campbell, KY. We are currently deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. We were deployed to Iraq in 2006. I am a Kiowa Warrior helicopter pilot. This is what I do for a living when I am not trying to make money online –
It's a freakin' cool job.
We think it's pretty great that an active soldier is using the CafePress system to make extra money while he's deployed overseas, and so we asked Dan to tell us a little more about himself.
I am an incredibly fortunate guy, happily married to the lovely Wendy for 15 years this year. (Our anniversary is Sept. 11th). I am the proud father of four happy, healthy, handsome sons. I have been a soldier for 15 years and a Cavalry Trooper since 1995. I spent 10 years as an enlisted soldier before going to flight school. I've been stationed in Korea, Texas, Germany, Bosnia, Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Iraq , and Afghanistan. Phew, only 5 years to go!
This is a current photo of our unit here in Afghanistan. We got here in January 2008, and hope to be home by March of 2009. I am in the first row – last one on the right.
You can always get better info if you leave this in my wife's hands. I have been running CavHooah.com long enough to get her interested in starting her own. She is the rock who not only takes care of the family and runs the website business from home, but she is also our troop's Family Readiness Group Leader. FRG leaders are like the Commander's voice for the families back home. She relays important information to the spouses while we are deployed, and helps keep morale up with the families. She recently organized and executed our Squadron's first-ever Kid's Spur Ride! Awesome job, honey! I'm proud of you!
While that video was from our last deployment to Iraq in 2006, it still is pretty cool and really tells what we do for a living. Rest assured, the Banshees already have another video in the making!
What I love about CafePress goes far beyond just being able to express my ideas on shirts and gifts. The CafePress community has been a tremendous source of information in helping me get my site started and helping me connect with other military shopkeepers and families. The forums and the people who participate in them are knowledgeable and always friendly. We have a common goal and we all stick together. But CafePress has also helped me teach my children about basic business practices. I am helping my sons start their own shops – they are always busy creating new designs and they realize how hard work can be rewarded. I think what I like most about CafePress is that it is a great place to go when I am off-duty here in Afghanistan. Working on my shop helps me pass the time, even with our agonizingly slow internet connection. I always seem to have have many more ideas than time!
I got started with CafePress when I was looking for a Cavalry shirt. When soldiers in our units have new babies, we call them Cav Babies and Wendy and I thought that shirts would make a great gift for the new parents. Since we couldn't find a shirt we liked, we came up with a basic Cav Baby design for a shirt and it is still our best selling item to date!
Our current mission in Afghanistan and our past tour in Iraq are both similar in nature. Our primary mission is to support the soldiers on the ground. When they are crossing high terrain and they just can't see over the next hill, that is where we come in, providing both reconnaissance and security for the guys with their boots on the ground. We have been called the "angels on our shoulders" by some, and by most of them we are known as the "K-Dubs" (short for KW, or, Kiowa Warrior, which is what we fly). If a convoy strikes a roadside bomb, we race to the scene to provide security and scout out the enemy. We have also conducted security missions in order to protect and maintain vital infrastructure such as oil refineries, pipelines and power lines, along with providing security for Iraqi civilians during their elections. When our soldiers are out there in the dark, all alone, wondering what's out there, it is a pretty comforting feeling when they hear us overhead. It's an incredibly rewarding job, knowing that we are protecting our comrades in arms.
Dan Carbone
Big thanks to Dan for sharing his story.

Q Does physical exercise affect trigeminal neuralgia pain?
A Moderate exercise may improve pain symptoms in trigeminal neuralgia (TN), a neurologic condition that causes chronic facial pain. The presumed cause of TN is a blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve in the head. TN is more common after the age of 40. When it occurs in young people (usually women), it is most often associated with multiple sclerosis.
TN pain is most often felt in the lower half of the face, typically on one side only. It is most often brief, intense, and described by patients as "electrical," "sharp," and "stabbing." While these attacks of pain have characteristic triggers—chewing, talking, smiling, light touch—exercise is not one of them. Most patients improve with medication, such as the anticonvulsant carbamazepine. The symptoms of TN may go away on their own for months at a time, especially early on. However, as time goes on, TN has a tendency to become more persistent. Many patients need surgery to control their pain.
Pain impacts many aspects of life. It can cause stress, depression, and limit your overall functioning. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress, improve mood and sleep, and provide a healthy distraction during tough times. However, certain activities, such as swimming or running outside, may prove problematic—the contact of water or wind on the face may trigger an attack of pain for people with TN. Indoors activities, such as running on a treadmill, may be more tolerable.
No clinical trials have been conducted to determine the effect of exercise on TN. In other pain conditions—such as fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain, and headache—aerobic exercise has been found to be helpful in improving pain. Aerobic exercise causes your body to release chemicals called endorphins, which naturally inhibit pain. However, moderation is important: overdoing it may be counter-productive and aggravate pain, an observation noted in studies of exercise in other pain conditions. Don't forget to talk to your doctor before beginning any new exercise regimen.

Suzi Perry (born 3 May 1970) is an English television presenter, currently covering MotoGP for BT Sport. She is best known for covering MotoGP for the BBC for 13 years, The Gadget Show on Channel 5 for 9 years and the BBC's Formula One coverage from 2013 to 2015.
Early life[edit]
Perry was born in an RAF hospital in Cosford, Shropshire, the daughter of a music promoter, and her godfather was guitarist Mel Galley.[1]
Brought up in Finchfield,[1] she attended Smestow school in Wolverhampton, and had a school job as a lighting technician at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre.[1] Perry went on to study business studies and finance at Wolverhampton Polytechnic, now the University of Wolverhampton.[2]
After graduation, Perry spent 12 months in Japan working as a model, then as an advertising model following her return to Britain.[3]
Perry's television career is best known for the years spent as a presenter for BBC coverage of MotoGP motorcycle racing. Perry was a co-host of The Gadget Show until 2011. Perry also presents programmes on BBC Radio 2.[3]
Broadcasting career[edit]
BBC Sport[edit]
Perry is mainly known as a motor sports correspondent, reporting on motorbike racing for BBC News as well as presenting other sports-related programmes, including Wimbledon, the Boat Race, the London Marathon, Royal Ascot and the Great North Run. She helped to present the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[citation needed]
Perry presented coverage of MotoGP for BBC Sport for 13 years, commencing with the 1997 season.[4]
In February 2010, following a year in which she suffered a number of health issues including viral meningitis and an ectopic pregnancy, it was announced that she was stepping down from presenting MotoGP coverage.[5] She stated that the extensive travelling involved combined with her other TV commitments was having a detrimental effect on her work-life balance.[5]
Following her departure from MotoGP, Perry was part of the BBC presenting team at the 2010 Epsom Derby[6] and Royal Ascot[7] and was due to be part of the 2011 Grand National coverage but was replaced at the last moment by Dan Walker who happened to be at Aintree presenting Football Focus on the same day. No explanation was offered by the BBC as to the need for the change.[citation needed]
On 21 December 2012 the BBC announced that Perry would replace Jake Humphrey as presenter of the BBC's Formula One coverage from the 2013 season, covering 10 live races and 10 highlight shows.[8] She also wrote regular blogs for BBC Sport to give a behind the scenes look at F1. This was the first time a female had taken on the full-time main anchor role in Formula One on British TV.[citation needed]
In 2015 it was announced Perry would present a new F1 show for BBC Two with Murray Walker. The show called Formula 1 Rewind involves Walker looking back at some of the BBC's archives.[9][10]
Other television work[edit]
Perry was the original presenter of Live Elite League Speedway on Sky Sports. She appeared on the 2002–03 revival of Treasure Hunt, where she took the "skyrunner" role made famous by Anneka Rice.[citation needed]
Since 2004, Perry had been a co-presenter for Channel 5's The Gadget Show, a hi-tech weekly programme, alongside Jason Bradbury, Jon Bentley, Ortis Deley and Pollyanna Woodward. Perry was temporarily replaced by Gail Porter whilst she recovered from an ectopic pregnancy, and returned to The Gadget Show in August 2009. Perry created the current theme music for the Gadget Show in 2011 as part of a Gadget Show challenge. In February 2012 it was announced that the show's format was changing, it was then known as The Gadget Show: World Tour and features only two of the previous presenting team Jason Bradbury and Pollyanna Woodward.[11]
On 15 May 2008, Perry appeared on Through the Keyhole on BBC Two, allowing Lisa Snowdon to look around her property before being identified by the panel. In 2010 Perry appeared on ITV's All Star Mr & Mrs with husband Bastien.[12]
Her other shows include Housecall, Superstars, City Hospital, How to take Stunning Pictures and Holiday. On 14 June 2014, She co-presented the BBC's coverage of Trooping the Colour with Huw Edwards.[citation needed]
On 10 March 2012, Perry danced to "Livin' the Vida Loca" with fellow ex-Gadget Show presenter Ortis Deley for the BBC's Let's Dance for Comic Relief.[13][14]
Perry was a guest panellist on the Channel 5 magazine show The Wright Stuff, alongside comedian Lee Hurst, for the week of 19–23 March 2012. She was a guest on The Sarah Millican Television Programme in the third series. This was shown on 2 November 2013 on BBC Two. On 6 March 2015, Perry appeared as a guest on The One Show.[citation needed]
In September 2016, Perry was made an honorary Doctor of Engineering for services to science, technology, and work encouraging young entrepreneurs.[15]
Personal life[edit]
Perry was married to Steve Bullock, a model from Sheffield, for four years.[1] By February 2009, Perry was engaged to her Dutch boyfriend, Bastien Boosten (whom she met while filming The Gadget Show whilst driving a personal submarine),[1] and two and a half months pregnant. Perry suffered a ruptured ectopic pregnancy on 17 February, and was taken to West Middlesex Hospital from a London film studio, where she underwent surgery after losing four pints of blood.[1][16]
As of April 2009, Perry lived in London, but shared a house in the South of France with her fiancé.[1] They married on 6 August 2009. Perry was the first celebrity bride to post her wedding pictures on Twitter.[17] Perry had an Elvis impersonator conducting the 30-minute ceremony. The pair appeared together on All Star Mr & Mrs in 2010.[12] Perry is also stepmother to a girl of 16 (in 2012).[18][19]
Perry is a supporter of Wolverhampton Wanderers.[1]
In 2006 Perry appeared as a celebrity showjumper in the BBC's Sport Relief event Only Fools on Horses. On 12 July, after being voted off the show, she revealed that she had fallen off her horse 12 times.[20][21]
Perry is a patron of Promise Dreams,[1] a charity based in her home town of Wolverhampton that was launched in 2001. Promise Dreams raise money for children who are seriously or terminally ill and provide treatment, help and support for both them and their families.[22] Perry is also a patron of the National Association for Bikers with a Disability.[23]

Harrisburg Police were dispatched to the Hess gas station in the 1100 block of Market Street for a robbery at 8:47 p.m. Friday.
Police say the assailant entered the store and approached the clerk with a knife, demanding money.
During the robbery attempt the clerk was assaulted by the robber with a knife, according to police. The clerk reportedly suffered minor injuries.
Police say the robber fled the store with an unknown item.
The robber matched the description of the Rite-Aid and Family Dollar robberies in the past month, according to investigators.
Saturday, at 8:30 a.m. Harrisburg police, Pennsylvania State parole agents, U.S. Marshals Service task force officers and the Dauphin County Crisis Response Team went to a residence in the 1400 block of Zarker Street with a search and arrest warrant for Benjamin Palmer.
Palmer was positively identified in connection with two robberies at Family Dollar, a robbery at Rite-Aid and the Hess Gas Station robbery Friday, according to police.
Police say Palmer was taken into custody in the area without incident and will be arraigned on three robbery warrants, robbery, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, possession of a weapon and state parole detainer.

Fest of Fall Fests This Weekend!
October 4, 2013 - Jim Price
As the calendar turns the corner into October, fall festival season continues to heat up in the region, with several prominent annual festivals swinging into full action this weekend. Live music is a part of each.
Cresson's annual fall celebration, the Cresson Area Heritage Days, takes place Friday night, Saturday and Sunday afternoons; and will feature live music, a car show, children's activities, art and craft vendors, and a variety of food and refreshments.

Admission to the festival is free. Parking near the festival is limited; parking with shuttle bus transportation to and from the festival is available from the Bedford County Fairgrounds and Old Bedford Village for a $7 fee per car.
And Prince Gallitzin State Park's beach area comes alive on Sunday with the annual Apple Cider Festival. The festival runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with multiple arts and crafts vendors, apple cider pressing, food vendors, and live music from Johnstown-based Celtic rock favorites Tree and Johnstown-based oldies performers Cruzin.

Lindsay Lohan may not have had a workday performing community service at the Los Angeles County morgue on Monday – but she's working overtime on her behalf.
The troubled actress posed for the pages of Playboy magazine.
"The photo shoot went well," her mother Dina Lohan tells X17 Online.
According to reports, Lindsay will be appearing on the cover, though the magazine wouldn't discuss it.
"We are not commenting," a spokesperson for Playboy told PEOPLE early Tuesday.
Lohan's rep, Steve Honig, adds, "I cannot confirm."
But earlier this month Honig told PEOPLE, "We get requests every week wanting to do photo shoots with her from top photographers."
TMZ.com reports that the actress is being paid nearly $1 million for the Playboy shoot.
In 2008, Lohan appeared nude in a New York magazine spread mirroring Marilyn Monroe's famous final 1962 shoot for photographer Bert Stern.

Kellogg-Hubbard Library union alleges violationBy David Taube
STAFF WRITER | December 29,2012MONTPELIER The union for Kellogg-Hubbard Library has complained to the state Labor Relations Board and a third-party arbitrator that the library illegally shifted three employees out of the union as part of a change in job titles and duties.
The library has suggested there is no merit to the charge, which comes as the union is negotiating a new contract. In addition to the Labor Relations Board complaint, the union is trying to resolve through arbitration the issue of which employees belong to the union.
This is something that was supposed to be negotiated, said Kellogg-Hubbard staffer Ruth McCullough, a union member.
The librarys attorney, Richard Cassidy, said the union contract was not breached.
In November the library decided to shift certain employees outside the union, according to a letter filed with the Labor Relations Board that was written by Michael Blair, a representative for the Northeast council of the union, the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees.
The new job titles and duties affected two librarians and one financial assistant position.
The library has argued the three supervisory positions are new midlevel management jobs outside the union and that the previous three positions have not been eliminated. Cassidy said the library made a hire for one of the positions, the financial assistant, last week.
Three members of the bargaining unit were invited to apply for these new jobs. They did so, and were promoted, said a five-page response from Cassidy to the labor complaint. The library did not add supervisory duties to the existing job descriptions. It created new management jobs.
Cassidy said he provided consultation to the library before it did the restructuring.
The unions two-year agreement runs until Monday. It initially covered 13 employees, but McCullough, the library staffer, said eight positions were in the union currently. That figure does not include the three positions that were recently made non-union, she said.
McCullough said the last time the union dealt with the Labor Relations Board was in 1994. In the spring, the union made concessions in hours to help the library, she said.
The disagreement comes as the library is seeking voter support on March ballots for additional funding from municipalities that support the nonprofit. Kellogg-Hubbard this year also dealt with the departures of its top two executives, Executive Director Daniel Pudvah and Library Director Robin Sales. A new director, Richard Bidnick, came on board in the summer.
The parties met this month with the Labor Relations Board. The union and management plan to meet again in early January. Often, however, disputes are resolved without participation by the Labor Relations Board, said Timothy Noonan, its executive director.
Resolution could also come via a new contract; if the library petitioned the labor board for a unit clarification, which could clear up whether the positions are within or outside the union; or through arbitration.
According to the response letter from Cassidy, who is representing the library on behalf of the Burlington law firm Hoff Curtis, P.C., filing for unit clarification was not mandatory and the librarys actions complied with labor law.
Also in November, the library announced higher late fees and shorter borrowing periods. Late fees for DVDs increased from 50 cents to $1 a day, and initial loan periods for childrens materials went from four weeks to two weeks. A one-day grace period will be eliminated April 1.
New books, however, can now be renewed. Also, exceptions can be granted for certain patrons unable to renew by phone or online.

How many AR-15 rifles or clones in the US?

> How many AR-15 rifles or clones in the US?
September 22, 2008, 11:24 PM
With the long lead times for AR type rifles and lowers, I was wondering how many AR-15s do you think there are in the hands of non-LEO civilians in the United States. It seems like it must be 10s of millions.

tens of millions? Doubful. Ten million or so? Maybe as much as 20 million A stretched possibility. It is definitely the new rifle for the sportsman of all backgrounds, that's for sure. Just about any rifle company or importer has their own build.
Keep in mind that there are some 200 million-odd firearms in the country. A good deal are evil and black, and a very good deal are ARs. But, as to how many of the 80 million gun owners own an AR, who knows.
September 22, 2008, 11:58 PM
You realize, I'm sure, that 20 million is two "ten millions", or tens of millions, right? :)
In any case, that's a lot of guns. Odd thing is, I don't own a single one. I'll probably have a few between now and the end of the year, though.

September 23, 2008, 12:22 AM
I am buying a handful of lowers ASAP. A) I want to build my own. B) it is cheaper that way. C) Obama is a gun-banning fool.
September 23, 2008, 01:08 AM
I've done my part to make sure that they are in "common use" per the Heller decision.
September 23, 2008, 01:18 AM
20 million is 1 in 15 people in the US. I don't think it is that high of a number. Here is a question. Everyone who owns one look at the serial number. There aren't 20 big name companies out there selling lowers. How many have a lower with a serial number in the millions?
September 23, 2008, 01:23 AM
We all need at least two...long range, and up close and personal...:)
September 23, 2008, 02:18 AM
The ATF releases a report on the number of firearms produced by every gun manufacturer every year. You can pick out the biggest manufacturers and run the numbers.
September 23, 2008, 03:13 AM
I doubt that more than 10 million M16/M4/CAR15/AR15 have been built during the entire 40+ years of it's existence.
The estimate I got from wiki is 8 million, and even though it's not been cited, I'd say that that was a close approximation to the total ever made worldwide.
For USA civvie population, I'd guess a few hundred thousand max.
Scroll to the bottom of this link, it lists pretty much every company that manufactured and sold AR15 (or any variant) in the USA.
September 23, 2008, 03:31 AM
I am curious now. I'd think it'd be 2-3 million range, but that is just a guess. That would only be 1% of the population, which sounds a little low... I know quite a few people that own them.. a lot aren't "gun" people.
Kind of Blued
September 23, 2008, 07:45 AM
There are "non-gun people" abound that own AR-15s?!??!
Color me unconvinced.

I can offer a reasonable educated estimate of all types,
About 350,000

How did you come up with that number?
September 23, 2008, 09:51 PM
I've done my part to make sure that they are in "common use" per the Heller decisio
iv contributed to that idea in AK's AR's "hi cap" pistols and more!
I can offer a reasonable educated estimate of all types,
About 350,000
id say thats VERY low. VERY VERY low. but what educated position do you hold to inspire that number? im open to hearing your argument
September 23, 2008, 09:57 PM
Sorry, I believe that is elendy-hundo
I think it is a pretty small amount. I would say about 1 in 10 ACTIVE gun owners have one. By active I mean shoot at least a 6 times a year. Although I shoot every week :)
September 23, 2008, 11:33 PM
350,000? Ok, that takes care of Houston Texas maybe... ;)
September 23, 2008, 11:52 PM
I just finished building my 3rd w/ plans on a 4th :cool: So, I guess I have a quarter of a dozen AR's :D
September 24, 2008, 12:08 AM
There are "non-gun people" abound that own AR-15s?!??!
Meaning they bought an AR becuase they thought it would be cool, yet they rarely, if ever take it to the range. I have 2 friends in this category.
September 24, 2008, 01:35 AM
Hell, there have been ~100K 'off-list' AR receivers sold in CA since end of 2005 alone.
Bill Wiese
San Jose CA
September 24, 2008, 01:41 AM
At least 1 million.
September 24, 2008, 02:56 AM
Many of the manufacturers out there are putting out close to 4-5K rifles per month... Think about that... And consider how many AR15 manufacturers there are out there now...
September 24, 2008, 03:57 AM
How many AR-15 rifles or clones in the US?
1 for every home in this country...
some people have none, but other have many... so that should make it even
September 24, 2008, 08:53 AM
Fifty states with approximately 7000 rifles per state.
Prior to the big '94 gun ban, there were maybe 15,000 AR type rifles in civilian hands.
Add rifles in Police armories and the number would probably increase to about 700,000 total, maybe, but that would also include a lot of full auto rifles too and we are talking about rifles in civilian hands. Aren't we?
AR sales didn't really take off until people couldn't get them anymore or couldn't get them with the previously ho-hum bayonet lug and collapsing stocks that were offered.
The AR is a big seller, it isn't a huge seller and it didn't say those numbers may not increase drastically should Obamarama win the election.
September 24, 2008, 09:47 AM
From what Ive read recntly AR15 style rifles are the #1 firearms sold in the US in terms of numbers..
Alot of new shooters who have never owned a gun before are buying them.. I beleive in thanks to the war we are fighting they are popular on TV..
Thats good people are buying them, but bad becuase they are driving up the ammo costs..Which reminds on payday order another 1000rds cause I am running low..
September 24, 2008, 09:56 AM
We all need at least two...long range, and up close and personal...
I'm in this category

Trebek - Mr Connery?
Connery - Moo.
Trebek - That's not even a number!
Connery - No? That's the noise your mother made last night!
September 29, 2008, 10:28 PM
FWIW, from 2000 to 2006 Bushmaster produced 333,000 rifles, almost all of them AR-15s. If you conservatively estimate their undoubtably increased production for 2007 and 2008, it's easy to imagine there are about a half million Bushmasters alone.

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan swept through Michigan last week, bringing attention to schools in Jackson, Kalamazoo and Detroit. Along the way, he made this eye-popping statement to the Kalamazoo Gazette:
"I think we need to figure out how to double teacher salaries. Starting pay should be in the $60,000s, and experienced teachers should have the ability to make $130,000."
This may sound outlandish in light of the state's financial circumstances. But Duncan has a point.
There is dissatisfaction with the performance of our public school system. While student success starts at home, schools also have a critical role in nourishing excellence among top students and inspiring those students who lag behind.
That has to involve high-quality teachers. Duncan's stance is that to attract those teachers, you need to pay them competitively. It's a free-market argument.
Of course, it's also far from practical. School funding in Michigan is strained, and many residents are not able to pay for new taxes — even if they wanted to plow it all into the paycheck of their child's teacher.

ISA Sociology of Migration meeting From Emigration to Immigration Countries in Europe: New Patterns, Cerisy La Salle, Normandy, June 2005.
When migrants who sell sex are considered, love is rarely mentioned. Debates on "prostitution" and "trafficking" focus narrowly on whether migrants knew they would be selling sex and whether they were coerced or forced to do it. Hegemonic meanings of these terms define the interconnections between sex, intimacy and mobility as inherently and exclusively exploitative, and deny the emotional ambivalence shaping the relations involved. These discursive practices play a key role in the construction of Europe (or the West) as a space of emotional and civic superiority and in enforcing cripplingly restrictive migration policies. However, many migrations begin with romance, infatuation or "real love", which can be powerful and necessary motivators for assuming the risks involved in trying to get a better life. The fact that some of these relationships sour later on, or that one (or both) of the people had exploitative plans, does not diminish the importance of the original feeling in the imagination and enactment of migration. In fact, only the affective dimension can explain many migrations.
This panel will investigate migrations that involve love as well as sex
and money: for a boy or girlfriend, for a tourist, for a pimp or
trafficker, for a (future) husband or wife, for a parent, for a child.
Researchers interested in sex tourism and "mail-order" marriages are
welcome, as are those whose work does not specifically address Europe
and those whose work addresses lesbian, gay and transgender subjects.
Please send a 250-word abstract by 1 September 2004 to both organisers:

Rated 3 out of 5 by anita01 If you are looking for price vs SPG comfort then this is ok. If you are booking on points do not book this as for the same cat level you can pick the Meridien which is a much better hotel. I only chose this hotel because of the price which was the cheapest when I booked and location. The location was actually not all that close. (30min walk to the center) If I had enough points I would have picked the Meridien or the Western as you definitely notice the difference if you are an SPG member. Room was bit cramped as I needed a rollaway for my son (an upgrade would have been nice but wasn't offered) August 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dakota1986 This hotel was beyond my expectations. Nice room. Comfortable bed. The hotel is a mile from the Hauptbahnhof (train station) which was a 23 minute walk for us everyday. The breakfast buffet is definitely overpriced (all the reviews mentioned this, so it was no surprise). Hotel front desk were very welcoming and friendly. We arrived before check in time and they had a room for us. Lisa was extremely helpful when we asked questions about what to see and places to go. Yvonne took care of a problem immediately with housekeeping. Thanks ladies, you made our stay memorable and awesome. July 31, 2015

Check, Please!
Check, Please! is a popular, multi-Emmy Award winning restaurant review program that began on Chicago's PBS member station WTTW in 2001. The show's popularity inspired spin-offs in several other markets. A San Francisco version of the show, Check, Please! Bay Area, began its first season in 2005, airing on KQED. A Miami version for WPBT, Check, Please! South Florida, debuted in January 2008. Check, Please! Kansas City then began airing on KCPT in 2009, and Check, Please! Arizona on Phoenix's KAET made its debut in 2010. A Seattle version, Check, Please! Northwest, began airing on KCTS in 2012.
The format of the show is simple: three people sit down with a host to discuss three local eating establishments, one favorite chosen by each guest. Before the program is taped, each person chooses a favorite restaurant, and everyone in the group is required to visit each person's selection. Afterwards, everyone describes their eating experiences. Although many participants select trendy, upscale restaurants, just about any eating establishment is fair game including hot dog stands and "neighborhood joints". More than 35,000 people have applied to be guests on Check, Please! in Chicago alone.
The first two seasons of the show in Chicago were hosted by Amanda Puck, who is Wolfgang Puck's former sister-in-law. In October 2003, Amanda Puck was replaced with Alpana Singh, who has worked as a sommelier at Chicago's Everest restaurant and as the Director of Wine and Spirits for Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises. In 2013, Singh stepped down and was replaced by Catherine De Orio, a food writer and former lawyer.[1]
The San Francisco version is hosted by wine consultant and author Leslie Sbrocco. The Miami version is hosted by chef Michelle Bernstein. The Kansas City version is hosted by wine consultant and author Doug Frost. The Phoenix version is hosted by chef Robert McGrath. The Seattle version is hosted by urban gardener Amy Pennington.
The concept was created by David Manilow and developed by David Manilow and Joel Cohen. The executive producers are Manilow and V.J. McAleer. Manilow also oversees all operations of the show and the brand.
According to Manilow, the inspiration for creating the show came from a weekly dining club that he started and included Cohen and film director Joe Angio. The three would rotate picking places to go out to eat, and each would try to outdo each other in selecting wild or exotic places.[2]
Lost episode[edit]
On January 16, 2009, a previously unaired August 2001 episode (Dixie Kitchen),[3][4] which featured the then Illinois state senator Barack Obama, was finally premiered on WTTW, days before his presidential inauguration.[5]

My day begins supervising fourth-grade recess. It's a nice way to ease into being in the school building, where I often cringe at how we insist that small children stay tethered to their chairs for so many hours in a row.
I love the 10-second conversations that occur between bursts of running, yelling and cracking up. And even more, I love being an audience to the group of students that uses recess to practice harmonizing on pop songs.
I love fourth-graders for their innocence. Recently I heard a fourth-grader tell another, "You're pretty." "I know," she responded matter-of-factly. "I get it from my auntie."
So it makes me sad whenever one of them combs their fingers through my hair and says something like, "Ms. Craven, you got such nice hair. It's so soft."
Because nearly all of my students are black and I am white. I want to go on a rant about the imposition of a European style of beauty. I want to rail against the idea that hair should be smooth and straight rather than curly and coarse. I want to tell them about the sociological symbolism of hair. I want to urge them to resist conforming and especially conforming to a norm established by a group that has been historically oppressive of the group to which they belong.
But then I remember they are fourth-graders. And I remember that they are just giving me a compliment, even if it is potentially loaded (unbeknownst to them) with an internalized belief that Caucasian hair is somehow better than their own.
So I say thank you and tell them I think their hair is beautiful. I encourage the positive things they say they like about their hair, and about themselves. Because a small interaction that's superficially about hair has big potential; it can be used to encourage self-confidence and a belief in beauty's many unique forms. And that's part of my job too.
Craven is a middle school English teacher in Louisiana.
This is another wonderful
This is another wonderful example of how everything, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, can be a wonderful and life-changing teaching moment.
I am an African-American
I am an African-American middle school teacher in the South who for many years relaxed her hair to give it the manageability, length, and straightness I desired. Two years ago I did the "Big Chop" and decided to stop putting chemicals in my hair in order for it to grow in its natural state. This has been one of the most empowering decisions I have ever made. I must admit that at first people did not know what to make of my change including some of my own family members. My decision to go natural was not only for myself, but I wanted to let young women who looked like me know the straightness or length of their hair does not determine their worth. Main stream media has a way of encouraging young people to conform to its definition of beauty, but beauty for me has always been what lies within a person. It does my heart great joy when my students of all races inquire about my hair especially now since on most days I wear an Afro. Also to hear young women of color say they love my hair and are planning to go natural too does my heart great joy. Yes, how a woman wears her hair should always be her preference, but to see a group of women who have for so long frowned upon wearing kinky/curly hair now accept it shows they are becoming more accepting of their definition of beauty. My style is BEAUTIFUL!
P.S. My hair in its natural state provides me with an opportunity to wear my hair in more hairstyles than I could when I was relaxing it.
I think your response was
I think your response was perfect; I was so hoping that that was what you would say.
I was reminded of the story of how this Sesame Street video, "I Love My Hair," was made:
Here's a link to one author's interview with the songwriter:
I actually used this video in a high school classroom as part of a Facing History lesson in which we read this article: http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2007/01/14/i-freed-myself-when-i-embraced-my-locks.html
It's a great topic for starting the discussion on diversity.
Thanks for sharing your story!
An excerpt of Sandra
An excerpt of Sandra Cisneros' book House on Mango Street has been made into a children's book called Pelitos--it is in Spanish and English and it is a brief but wonderfully worded description of all different kinds of hair present in one family...
When I began teaching
When I began teaching elementary school in 1974 I had a class of special needs girls, all of whom were black. I was a 21-year old white woman with long blond hair. My hair was the first thing about me that they ever commented upon, and in the same breath they told me that they wanted to braid it for me. I thought it was cute, but told them that we needed to have class and that perhaps "one day" we could take time for braiding. I assumed they'd forget or move on to some new interest, but that was my mistake. 179 days later on the last day of school, they reminded me of what I'd told them, and I had no real argument to make. Down I sat, and these precious girls went to work on me. I had corn rows in every direction -- some larger and some smaller, some well-braided and others loose and wispy. One girl took off her hair ribbons and gave them to me. I had the admiration of every child in the class when the job was completed. "You look beautiful," they said to me in their language-impaired ways. And all I could think was, "So do you, girls." It may have been the best lesson of the year.

More About This Wine
About Chehalem
Almost thirty years ago Harry Peterson-Nedry began scouting potential vineyard locations in Oregon's burgeoning wine country. He soon discovered what's now called Ribbon Ridge, an ancient, uniform sedimentary hillside at the extreme western end of the Chehalem Mountains. There, he planted the Ridgecrest Vineyard, Chehalem's oldest, in 1982.
88 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - April 2008
($22) Bright yellow. Spicy pear and yellow plum aromas offer good depth and musky character. Fleshy and smooth, with palate-staining pit fruit and melon flavors braced by juicy acidity. A deep, round style that would work well with spicy or rich foods.

Dr. English is a very wonderful Dr. You can tell she cares for your health and loves her patients. She always listen to me and is never in a hurry to go on to the next patient waiting. Her office is wonderful also.
I do not recommend this doctor at all. She cancelled 5 of my OB appointments, and i didn't find out until after I had taken off work, found special childcare, paid a toll charge, and driven 45 minutes to see her. Even 3 of my rescheduled appointments were cancelled. All for various reasons: doctor feeling ill, doctor family situations, doctor's mother had emergency, sick children, etc. These are things that happen in life, and they happened at least 5 times in 5 months. There were no apologies or accommodations for these times. Once I even came in and was told tto leave because the dr was out of office, only to run into her in the hallway Honesty and a simple courteous phone call would have saved me lots of money and time. Not too much to ask. I have a family too.
Dr. English made having my first baby SO much easier than I ever thought imaginable! We have since moved away and I pray that I can find a doctor half as amazing as her once we decide to have a second child. She is very easy to talk to, actually cares about you and your baby, and never makes you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about a question you might have. Again, I recommend her to everyone... she was amazing.
Dr. English is an excellent doctor. She is very down to earth and easy to talk to. I never felt rushed and she answered all of my questions. She is a friendly doctor and I never felt judged. She made the labor/birth of my son such a positive experience. Her nurses are also friendly and very helpful. I was pleased with the overall office experience as well.
I love my doctor! Her and the staff are great!
Making an appointment is always easy. The nurses are great! The entire staff is caring and sweet! They will take good care of anyone who comes in! They always do follow ups, the nurses will answer any questions, and everything very professional. The office looks and smells nice too! :) I am very happy.
I love Dr. English. She is very reassuring and takes the time to thoroughly answer any concerns. I was stressed about something being wrong with my baby and she had me come into the office that day and did an ultrasound just to put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her...
Dr. English was professional, attentive and caring. She was a "real" person and seemed genuinely grounded and interested. Highly recommend her!
I have seen Dr. English for my pregnancy and would not trust another Dr. Everything was fine during my pregnancy until it was time to deliver. Dr english acted fast and calm, and now I have my beautiful son because of her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing ob/gyn.
Dr. English saved my baby brother and now he is a healthy baby boy. Thank you so much and you deserve an award for being so awesome!!
I would highly recommend Dr. English. She was very nice and so was the staff. Great visit!
Dr. English & her staff were very friendly and professional. She made me feel comfortable. Her bedside manner is the best. It was like talking to an old friend rather than to my doctor. I was referred to her by a friend that is also a patient. Dr. English found a lump in my friends breast that turned out to be cancer. After surgery and rehab my friend is in 100% remission. If Dr. English had not found that lump, I would not have my friend here w/me today. I'd trust Dr. English w/my life.
Dr. English is the best Doctor I have ever been to!! She makes you feel so comfortable and you can tell she really cares about her patients. She is always available for questions and spent more time with me in my appt than my last 10 doctor visits combined! I would highly recommend her because she is the best doctor I have ever known!
I have seen Dr. English several times and since the moment I called the office, I have had the best expierence! The front staff was very helpful and got me an appointment right away. Her nurse is friendly and makes you feel so comfortable. Dr. English spent so much time with me and answered all of my questions. I have always felt rushed out of my previous Dr's office, but not with Dr. English! I look foward to having more children now that I know I have an awesome team to take care of me and my child! Thankyou Dr. English!!!
I just LOVE Dr. English, she is the nicest doctor and makes you feel more like a friend than a patient. Her staff is wonderful as well, I remember when I first started looking for a new OBGYN when I found out I was pregnant I called about 10-15 offices and ALL of the staff that answered were either rude and cut me off or all I got was an answering machine and a call back hours later. When I called Dr. English her secretary was super nice and helpful, took the time to talk with me and actually listen. I would not recommend another doctor EVER!!! By far the best OBGYN out there. Not to mention she is a good Christian too which means alot to me! If you reading this trying to decide on an OBGYN TRUST ME - DR.ENGLISH IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO! I was so blessed to have my daughter under her care and blessed to have her in our lives.
First she was on 16 and pregnant, and she has fast service and courteous staff!!! Easy to talk to and all around good people!
Dr. English is hands-down the best gynecologist I have ever been to. Starting with her staff - they were kind and courteous. Dr. English saw me promptly and spent 45 minutes with me thoroughly answering any questions I had and explaining to anything I asked about. She truly cares about her patients and it shows in her bedside manner. I highly recommend her!!!

"Labor in a Globalizing Era"
March 4-5, 2005
Blackburn College
Carlinville, IL 62626
Scope of the Symposium
The Blackburn College Labor encourages interdisciplinary study of labor and work. Its members are composed of individuals drawn from a wide variety of disciplines in the Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Humanities. The Center supports a minor in Labor Studies, promotes scholarly work in Labor Studies, and sponsors artistic events centering on labor and work.
Globalization refers to a set of processes involving the global movement of financial capital, economic goods and services, and to some extent, labor itself. For many commodities, it makes sense to speak of global pricing mechanisms, global supply and demand, and global regulatory schemes among others. This sense of globalization advances primarily due to the power of transnational economic actors, the political support of powerful states supporting economic liberalization, and the institutional constraints of international governmental bodies.
Labor is affected by all of these. The numbers and types of jobs shift around the globe with movement of capital. National governments react in various ways to employment changes. In turn, international organizations form and function in ways that respond to the globalization of the economy and its effects on labor.
We encourage interdisciplinary perspectives from graduate students and faculty alike, on all issues relating to the impacts of globalization on the nature of labor and work, not limited to any region or time period. Presenters might focus on any of the following or related topics.

Miamis City clerk retires, no sign of slowing down
caines | 10/4/2012, 5:30 a.m.
Priscilla Thompson steps down after 32 years of serviceRetirement isnt something that sneaks up on you, so says Priscilla Thompson, who celebrates her 61st birthday on Oct. 29th and cleaned out her desk last Friday after serving 10 1/2 years as the city clerk for the City of Miami. Thompson was appointed to the job after nearly 22 years of service to the City. And by her own admission, while being a City employee wasnt her immediate goal after graduating from Barry College in 1978 [now Barry University], shes grateful that people saw skills in me that allowed me to get in the door and move up the ladder. In those days, Blacks here in Miami were looking for companies from which you could eventually retire companies like PanAm or Bell South, said Thompson, who completed her high school studies at Miami Central. What mattered for me was being able to pay my mortgage and take care of other basic necessities. I was a divorced woman with a son and I had to make sure I took care of us both.
Diligence pays off
Thompson remembers filling out a lot of applications. When she got a favorable response, she began her career as a public school teacher a position she held from 1978 to 1992. Prior to being appointed as city clerk in 2002, Thompson served in the following capacities: administrative assistant to the executive director of the Civil Service Board; senior staff analyst in charge of budget for the Fire Rescue Department; and executive director of the Civil Service Board. She notes that she has had wonderful opportunities but laments the fact that many Blacks in Miami have not been as fortunate. Are we [Blacks] disenfranchised when it comes to political representation and economic opportunities here in Miami? she asks. Of course! Most of our young people, including my son and several of my nephews, are graduating from college and have no desires to come back home. Theres not a lot here for them, they say. Look at the political structures in each municipality in Miami-Dade County. Look at the employment figures or better yet the unemployment figures. I no longer represent the City. Now I am a community member, a Delta and a member of The Church of the Incarnation. In each of those roles I would say the same thing: there is no reason why we should not be doing a better job of preparing our children for the future and making sure there are plenty of opportunities awaiting them.
Old school with a modern bent
Thompson says she is just as busy now as when she was working and has no plans to sit down or slow up. We are all in this thing together and I realize that I go as my brother and sister go, she said. Just because one person makes a six-figure salary doesnt mean everything is all good. Its about making sure the community of all races is healthy. When I was small, I thought my mother and grandmother were the meanest two women on earth. They put the fear of God in me and raised me the old school way. I remember them saying if I landed in jail there would be no care packages coming. Because of them I can go anywhere in the world and know I will survive. That was wisdom. By D. Kevin email@example.com

Dissatisfaction with "establishment" Republicans has been a consistent theme at this year's Values Voter Summit, and it reached new heights at a Saturday morning breakfast session hosted by the Heritage Foundation and its more overtly political arm, Heritage Action. Sen. John McCain has been a favored punching bag, no doubt for having had the temerity to criticize the "Teavangelical" favorite son, Ted Cruz. An audience member asked whether Heritage was planning to do something to take out South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, referred to by the questioner as... MORE

The latest fundraising pitch from the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins blasts "the national Republicans" whom he says are "running away from the natural and biblical definition of marriage, flocking to the radical side in support of same-sex 'marriage.'"

Several weeks ago, the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins hosted a press briefing at the National Press Club to discuss just what it is that the Religious Right is seeking in a Republican presidential nominee. During the Q&A, Perkins was asked to discuss the idea that the very positions that make a candidate appealing to the Religious Right are the same positions that make such candidates unappealing to the general voting population. Not surprisingly, Perkins took issue with that assessment and asserted instead that without the support of the Religious Right, no Republican candidate... MORE

Republican pseudo-historian David Barton says that he, like Jesus, has never been legitimately critiqued, and is even suing two Democratic politicians in Texas and a blogger who have criticized him. While Right Wing Watch, among others, reports on Barton's incessant dishonesty on a regular basis, he continues to tell falsehoods even when he is directly confronted about it. Today on his program WallBuilders Live, Barton and his co-host Rick Green discussed the 9th Circuit Court's decision on Don't Ask Don't Tell.

As RWW readers know, the Values Voter Summit, the year's biggest political gathering for the Religious Right, took place in Washington, D.C. this past weekend. Every Republican presidential candidate with the exception of Jon Huntsman addressed the summit, evidence of the continuing importance of Religious Right activists and political groups to the GOP. Polls suggest that the Religious Right is about twice as big as the Tea Party, with significant overlap between the two movements. Ron Paul's campaign packed in enough voters to win the straw poll, but it would be wrong... MORE

Although BMI is not a great indicator in the athletic population a BMI of 19 is very low, I take it you don't carry much muscle mass? Are you young? I would focus on building lean muscle, eating well and the not trying to rush the leaning out part
Well, though I don't care too much about aesthetics, I think that being body fat and weight the most visible and quantifiable (respectively) health aspects it would be a good idea to improve them, for health and as a proof that this works to others (it's not like I can prove them that my IBS has stopped, my sleep improved or my hunger stabilized).
So, though my weight has lowered so much I now have a BMI of 19 (and improving) and now I have sort-of abdominals when I'm in a certain posture, I would like to improve it further. My diet is perfectly primal (no cereal, no legumes, no starches, no nuts and limited dairy) and I'll start exercising very soon.
Call it "proof-of-concept" or adolescent boasting, but I would really like to know how to speed up the process further and then to push the limits, for health and credibility.

Ah, I saw the adolescent bit. Work on building athletic prowess and muscle, a lot more cred that just being plain skinny
No, HEAVIER.

Well, as my parents won't let me eat more than 1 egg a day, I guess I'll eat lots and lots of meat, so there's no problem with nutrition (though I risk excessive protein consumption) and I was planning to start exercising regularly.
Still, I'm extremely disoriented about what exercise to do, there's a lot of variables. Some exercises are bad for the back, others may cause injuries if done in excess, others may damage the backbone... and that's without mentioning the "muscle disproportion" part.
So, could you suggest me some exercises? I don't want to spam the forums with my threads
I don't know what it's like in Spain, but in the US, most schools have after-school conditioning programs for athletes. You don't have to be part of organized sport to take part, but the coaches will help you develop a conditioning and strength program. If that is available to you, take advantage.
Otherwise, do the primal blueprint fitness program on this site. The simple bodyweight workouts will do a lot and are very safe. A few pushups, pullups, planks and squats every other day, along with some running and sprints will do wonders.
OK, got it, thanks!

CHANGE in the leadership of the African Union (AU) could create an opportunity to make it more efficient, Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said on Friday.
"I will go and render my services there as best as I can," she told a business briefing in Sandton.
"I think it would be good to get a change in the AU to try and improve the administration there.. We can try and make it a more efficient and effective organisation."
Ms Dlamini-Zuma, who is seeking election as chair of the AU, said it would not be difficult to unite the union despite differences between Anglophone (English-speaking) and Francophone (French-speaking) countries.
"You are implementing programmes that have been agreed upon by everybody, so you are not going to be consulting the Anglophone and the Francophone," she said.
"You will be taking what they have decided collectively and so implement it without fear or favour . I also think it is something we should eventually walk away from. I am not Anglophone, I'm Zulu."
She said that to unite the countries of Africa it would be important to figure out what drove them at a continental level as there were many differences between them.
"We need to look at what unites us now; driving economical development and dealing with underdevelopment and poverty . not try and make us the same."
The AU's elections in January ended in a stalemate with neither AU Commission chairman Jean Ping nor Ms Dlamini-Zuma able to garner the required two-thirds majority despite several rounds of voting.
Mr Ping has held the position since September 2008.
The AU then resolved that Mr Ping, a former Gabonese foreign minister, should remain at the helm of the organisation until new polls were held.
The election is expected to take place at the AU's summit in Addis Ababa on Monday.

Eleven cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection occurred in acutely ill hospitalized adults over a 7-week period. Nosocomial illness was suspected in two patients. Because RSV can cause serious infections in immunocompromised adults with the potential for nosocomial spread, the following recommendations are indicated: (1) during the winter months, early recognition and diagnosis of RSV infections both in hospital staff and in patients should be encouraged; (2) infected hospital personnel should avoid patient contact when possible; (3) during outbreaks, careful attention must be paid to hand washing and gloving; and (4) a high level of vigilance for RSV infection should be maintained on units with immunocompromised patients. Increased awareness of the potential risks of RSV infection is needed on adult medical units.

great site02/09/2011
I got a Nook for Christmas and have really enjoyed it. I have already downloaded several books. It is lightning fast and has been problem free. The Barnes & Nobles site is a little hard to navigate. It takes me a while each time to remember how to navigate their site. This may be more of a reflection on me, than Barnes & Nobles but it is worth mentioning. They also send out lots of emails. I am not a fan of stores I have ordered from sending unsolicited emails and I rarely read them. The prices for the downloaded books are about $9.00 to $13.00 and of course you don't have to have them shipped so you save money there
