Gun Control Could Top State Lawmakers' Agenda
New York already has more restrictive gun laws than many other states, including a ban on high-capacity magazines.
That doesn't include magazines made before 1994, which Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver sees as a loophole.
Silver says he also wants to tighten the definitions of what weapons are banned.
North country assembly member Addie Russell says the debate over gun control is not as simple as "just
Russell gets low marks from the National Rifle Association, but she is a gun owner herself and says neither side gets it entirely right.
"This is complicated, because we're talking about our Constitutional right to have firearms and very legitimate reasons to have them, along the lines of sportsmen and women," Russell said.
"But at the same time," she said, "as a mother I can't help but be impacted by the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut."
Russell believes high capacity magazines like the ones used in the Newtown shooting will be one of the first things the Assembly looks at.
Russell thinks there is room to toughen rules governing how such clips are stored and argues the killing of two volunteer firefighters in Webster is proof New York's existing gun laws need to be enforced better.
In that case, the guns convicted felon William Spengler used were purchased for him by a neighbor.
"I think there's far much more work to be done enforcing what we currently have on the books," Russell said.
"We treat the purchase of alcohol by minors far more strongly than we do the purchase of a gun in the presence of a violent felon."
Silver told the Albany Times Union he and fellow Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo are pretty much in agreement on stronger gun measures.
It's not clear, however, what Republicans -- who control the state Senate -- will do.

text: My six week old daughter is refusing to nurse or is nursing very little. I am not sure what to do....she either completely refuses the breast or takes it for only a few minutes....I have resisted giving her the bottle and after about 30 mins of crying she will finally take it for about 8 mins tops. She will sometimes latch right away but it is usually lasts for about 5 mins. Even after the short amount of time my breasts do feel lighter. I am not sure if she is getting enough even though her diaper out put is okay. I did notice that sometimes my let down is forceful and today an yesterday it has not seemed so. I even tried to express milk to see if there was milk on my nipple if that would make her more interested but it didn't necessarily help or hinder enough that I could be sure she even noticed. Could she be emptying the breast that quickly? She normally nurses for about 15 mins on one side each feeding...yesterday and today I did offer the other side with lasted about 3 mins and then yesterday she had a greenish yellow bm but today it was back to the normal mustard yellow color. Or could she be not hungry? She did spit up a minor amount today which she never does. I would love your opinions and just to be sure what is the average wet diaper output for a baby that age, I have seen 4-6 and 8-10? Also how often are your little ones nursing? She goes usually 2-3 hours during the day (today it has been every 2 for sure, I thought that she was not getting enough during the feeds so I was offering more often). As a side note, she has had about 10 bottles of breastmilk since birth the last one being last thursday so I do not think it is nipple confusion, and she only has had the bottles when I have been out of the house. Thanks, Kelly

Even the greatest movies will end up with some scenes on the cutting room floor. For the most part, it's with good reason: As awesome as it was, Darth Vader's wakeboarding montage would really have broken the flow of Empire. But a few of those cut scenes would have absolutely made the movie, and it's a tragedy that we've never seen them... until now. NOTE: Obviously there are spoilers, but don't let that stop you from reading (just from complaining that we didn't warn you.)
Note: We live in confusing times. While movies work overtime to explain more and more things that none of us ever wanted to know, like where the Rescue Rangers and the Smurfs got their convictions, the Internet has gone the opposite direction -- Upworthy refuses to explain what its own articles are even about and that kind of misdirection has broken at least one of our editor's dainty, fragile hearts.
So, we wanted to remind you of this Cracked Classic because it shows that no matter how crazy life gets, there's always an explanation hidden somewhere out there. You just have to go digging through the special features. Or buy the Director's Cut. -Cracked.
7Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
This whole article, a small novel, two abridged textbooks and an epic poem could be written about the sheer volume of deleted scenes from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but there's one particular cut from The Two Towers that seems particularly important. The flashback scene we're referring to shows Boromir and Faramir having a conversation after stomping some Orc ass--a flashback to before anybody knew that a certain hobbit had found a certain ring. Then their father, Denethor, shows up to kill the moment, because he's just generally not a "party type of dude."
Boromir (Left), Faramir (Middle), Denethor (Right). Because all Gondor boys look alike.
Boromir and his father Denethor discuss the Council at Rivendell, and the fact that "Isildur's Bane" is the One Ring (a fact not presented otherwise). Denethor instructs his son to retrieve the Ring for Gondor.
Which went over well, in case you're wondering.
This actually explains Boromir's entire motivation in the first film, and everything he does. His father, his brother, his people are all depending on him to bring back that goddamned ring. He was never going to let them destroy it. It puts the whole first film in a new light and without that scene, Boromir is just "that shifty dude" that kind of hangs out in the back, making all the hobbits uncomfortable for no reason anybody can place. He might as well have been driving a windowless van.
"Hey guys? Hobbits are technically adults, right?"
6Independence Day
Are you kind of a nerd? Have you seen Independence Day? What's the problem we're about to point out here? Exactly. Fully half of you reading this have just screamed to the heavens in futile rage about the probability of the famous Apple OS/advanced alien mothership compatibility issue. Even here at Cracked, we've drawn attention to this once or twice in one of our articles (like this one, this one, this one, this one and, well, this one.)
Nerds are an unforgiving lot.
Essentially, Jeff Goldblum is reminded that the word "virus" exists, which is all the motivation and know-how he needs to hack a completely alien spacecraft with a mid-90s PowerBook. We can't even get our damn Xboxes to play pirated copies of Step Up 2 the Streets from our computer, and they were made specifically to interact with one another, yet the dude from Jurassic Park somehow manages to encode a goddamn .GIF of a laughing skull in there when he takes out the mothership with the cutting edge power of MacOS 7.6.
But in the seven minutes of cut scenes included in the extended release Independence Day DVD, Goldblum is actually shown tinkering with his PowerBook inside the recovered craft from the Roswell crash site, mumbling something about how the spaceship was running off the same programming language he was able to decipher before (when he first uncovered their invasion plans and all that).
He may also have mentioned tachyons.
So, he presumably worked from there and was able to code some disruptive program and translate it into their language or whatever. It's still flimsy as hell, but it at least proves the filmmakers were aware of and willing to address the problem, thus defusing a decade and a half of pent-up nerd-rage.

Greek Yoghurt and Honey
Total Time
Prep 1 min
Cook 0 mins
I have this most days at school because it is the only yoghurt they provide, but I also have it everyday at home because I love it so much. I like to have it when I have a sore throat as well because it is the best medicine!!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 40 g Greek yogurt (approx)
- 1 tablespoon honey (approx)
- Serve yoghurt in bowl with honey on top.
- Very sticky but satisfying.
Most Helpful
Very good. I love it with toasted almond slivers on top. I used a poor pasteurized creamed honey which I heated to thin and drizzled over top, all to taste not measure. I would make this again with nuts.
I first discovered this when we were on vacation in Greece and LOVE it; now have it as often as possible with walnuts on top. Since I have trouble finding Greek Yogurt at times - (darn it) I sometimes have to drain regular plain yogurt for 4-6 hours to get that nice thick consistancy. Thanks for posting, it's a winner.
OHHH so happy !! BJs sent a booklet of coupons, and 1 was for Greek yogurt -- had never seen it there ! When we went on a motorized sailboat tour of the Greek Island, we discovered this -- and probably had 3 cups every day. Now I have a mission to find dark Greek honey -- but so tasty even with what was here. I researched for ingredient of Greek yogurt, and saved LOTS of recipes. Think I will go fix one of these, now ! Thanks for posting, Pixie.

Work at Pineview Winding Down for Winter
Media Contact: Rick Scott, (801) 379-1074
Don Merrill, (801) 379-1074
For Release: November 05, 2003
The Bureau of Reclamation and its contractor, W.W. Clyde & Company have completed the downstream deep excavation within the soldier pile walls at Pineview Dam and removed the potentially liquefiable material. Soldier pile walls are supports to hold the soil vertical while work in the excavation is conducted. This area is being backfilled with denser, select backfill, and the soldier pile wall is being removed as the backfill comes up. The crest wall is complete and zoned embankment material is being placed. The contractor anticipates working as long as possible until weather forces them to shut down. There should be about three months of work beginning in May to complete the project.
In the past year, Reclamation, with the effort of its contractors, and the patience of Liberty, Eden, Huntsville, Ogden and other affected residents, managed to get the road open for traffic more consistently, install new radial gates, install dewatering wells, pave the road, install anchor bolts in the spillway walls, install anchor beams in the spillway gate and tie those beams to the reinforced wall, replace the gate house, construct the embankment wall for emergency freeboard, and begin deep excavation on the downstream side.
During all of this, the Reclamation, in cooperation with the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District and the Ogden River Water Users Association, was able to deliver, uninterrupted, this year's full allocation of water. And, no water needed to be released to conduct the work. Throughout this process, Reclamation has endeavored to hear and address the concerns of residents living near, and affected by the work. We appreciate the cooperation and comments of all.
This work should be concluded by the end of August or early September 2004. This will be the last update until the pace of work picks up in the spring. Those with questions or concerns regarding the work may contact Don Merrill at the Provo Area Office of the Bureau of Reclamation at (801) 379-1074 or email@example.com.

22nd CVS Symposium 2000
June 1 - 3, 2000
For more information or an application, see our website:
www.cvs.rochester.edu or contact Barbara Arnold at 716-275-8659 or
One of the fundamental difficulties in understanding the neural basis of
perception/cognition is understanding the computational or informational
significance of neural activity. This is true at all levels: from
individual synapses and neurons, to local circuits and large-scale
organization. The enormous complexity of the brain and the behavior it
generates demands more sophisticated development of theories of neural
coding and communication on a large scale.
In the tradition of past CVS Symposia, our goal is to bring recent
developments in this fundamentally important topic to a broader audience
than that captured by more specialized meetings. We have designed the
symposium to bring together leading scientists with diverse perspectives to
provide an opportunity for cross-fertilization and interaction that is not
usually available.

Have You Met Sheryl Sandberg's Feet Yet?
"Don't hate her because she's successful."
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's feminist manifesto/having-it-all guide Lean In comes out on Monday, and already we are approaching saturation point. Time magazine's contribution: a cover image of Sandberg dressed and posed like Michelle Obama, superimposed with the words DON'T HATE HER BECAUSE SHE'S SUCCESSFUL. The online version of the cover is distractingly high-resolution, offering an intimate view of Sheryl Sandberg's feet.
So it's decided, then. We are ready to start obsessing about every single aspect of this woman and her life.
The accompanying articles include a Lean In excerpt and a profile written by Belinda Luscombe. In Luscombe's profile, Sandberg defends Marissa Mayer's ban on working from home: "I think flexibility is important for women and for men. But there are some jobs that are superflexible and some that aren't." We learn that Sheryl Sandberg is "an ardent listmaker." She talks with her hands. Mark Zuckerberg says she has "an extremely high IQ and EQ." She enjoys playing Settlers of Catan. She has a hand-drawn card from her kid on her desk. Her favorite movie is The Shawshank Redemption, which is interesting because it's the first time I've ever heard of a female Shawshank obsessive. Usually Shawshank fans are men with a desire for persecution and a latent lust for brutality, as noted in an episode of Cougar Town:
No, I do not personally watch Cougar Town. Yes, I am ashamed to bring Cougar Town into a discussion of an ultrasuccessful woman who is "embarking on the most ambitious mission to reboot feminism and reframe discussions of gender since the launch of Ms. Magazine in 1971." No, probably not as ashamed as I should be.
Yes, I too find it strange that Cougar Town's titular cougar appears to be dating a middle-aged guy in that clip.

It looks as though the Clovis High volleyball team is about to cruise right into the Class 5A state tournament.
After a series of tough matches in the middle of the season, the Lady Wildcats have run roughshod through District 4-5A and all but locked up the regular-season title Tuesday night with a 25-18, 25-13, 25-12 rout of Hobbs at Rock Staubus Gym.
Clovis (12-7, 3-0 district) can wrap up the regular-season crown with no more than a close loss on Saturday at Carlsbad. (2-15, 0-2). Barring a major upset, the Lady Cats will host the district tournament final on Nov. 9.
Clovis trailed only briefly a couple of times early in the second set against the relatively young Lady Eagles (3-16, 1-2), who were coming in off a five-set win at Carlsbad on Saturday.
Junior right side hitter Shaylee Warner said the Lady Cats are trying to get ready for a possible state run.
"The competition should be a lot (tougher) there, but we should be all right," Warner said. "We haven't beaten very many teams in three (sets) this year, so to come out and do that is really nice."
Coach Gabe Apodaca moved Warner from a middle position last year, where she did well, to an outside position this season to accommodate the team's depth in the middle. As one of only a handful of juniors on the team, she's hoping to return to the middle next season.
"It was (an adjustment) at first, but I'm getting the hang of it," she said of the switch in positions. "I'm hoping to go back next year; I feel like I'm a better middle player."
The Lady Cats rode solid performances from senior outside hitter Kyleigh Guthals (eight kills, eight digs, two blocks, one ace) and middle blocker Shea Mahan (eight kills, three blocks). Senior libero Andrea Aguilar added 23 digs and, at 5-foot-5, four kills, all from the back row.
Apodaca said he enjoyed the non-taxing win as well, noting the Lady Cats were coming off a tough four-set loss at Portales last week.
"I really felt the Portales (match) was a big one (in terms of preparation for postseason)," he said. "It wasn't a must-win, but it gives us something different in the middle of district play."
With four freshmen on the roster, Hobbs struggled to get anything going. The Lady Eagles, in fact, had only seven kills in the match — one less than either Guthals or Mahan.
"I think we bounced back well (from the Portales loss)," Apodaca said. "The biggest thing for us was finishing (the match). We've had a tendency when we get ahead to get a little lazy at the net."

"But this life is not long enough…"
Notes on "Of Gods and Scripts Around the Mediterranean – Symposium in memoriam Friedrich Kittler"
During his lifetime Friedrich Kittler's works were the subjects of fierce debates that ranged far beyond the horizon of academic teaching and self-teaching. When the media philosopher died in Berlin on October 11th of last year (in 2009 he had stated, "I'd rather be just a philosopher of course, but things aren't so simple anymore"), the scientific bad boy image was still prominent in the news announcements and obituaries surrounding his death. His friend Jürgen Kaube wrote in the FAZ obituary of the "thirteen points of advice" that should be considered. "They didn't even want to give him his doctorate when he was Assistant Professor in Freiburg," in 1982. In short: the debate over Friedrich Adolf Kittler's dissertation Aufschreibesysteme 1800/1900 became just as legendary as the work itself – so much so that others also read thirteen points out of the original nine points - and as a result Kittler turned his back on literary science. Emerging from Freiburg's 1970s poststructuralist German scholars, the engineer / computer programmer took self learning to its highest heights in the 1980s and, finally, in his later years, became the image of a 19th-century German professor, completely dedicated to the mythology of Greek Antiquity. His program was often described by his thesis of the "expulsion of the liberal spirit from the liberal arts" ("Austreibung des Geistes aus den Geisteswissenschaften"); in 2001 he wrote: "How is it that people in Europe love learning but do not learn to love?"
Friedrich Kittler's theses, his programs, claims, methods, techniques, his lively eclecticism, and his exuberant intellectualism, shaped (at least) a whole generation of researchers, artists, and those who recognized liberal spirits.
Some time before his passing, Kittler had already planned his exit from the academic stage – with a last symposium. This was meant to be a shotgun blast, his (scientific) legacy. The title he gave it: Of Gods and Scripts Around the Mediterranean. At this event, once again all of the lines that he cast in the fields of media studies, linguistics, cultural studies and literature were meant to come together, to cross paths, and open up perspectives. This event took place not long ago at ZKM | Karlsruhe (Fri–Sat, 19–20 October 2012) in a highly impressive way, with the supplementary title: In memoriam Friedrich Kittler.
The ZKM_Media Theater offered the ideal location for the symposium's venue and the dim blue light recalled Gottfried Benn, whom Kittler so admired, and his love of this color: "Blue, what pleasure, what pure adventure …". At the same time the parallel-running exhibition at ZKM "Sound Art. Sound as a Medium of Art" corresponded uncannily with the work and life of the sound-engineer and rock music lover, Kittler. Noises, sound fragments, language, these ultimately also shaped Kittler's cosmos.
Kittler spoke once of the "gods who live in machines." The quotation could hardly be more apt in connecting the content of the first and second symposium days. While Friday's theme investigated ancient Greece, the mythological world of classical Antiquity, and the emergence of scripts and language, the peculiarities of cuneiform writing and hieroglyphs, the development of vowels, consonants in the Mediterranean area (and beyond, from that perspective), Saturday's theme was the transition from the twentieth to the twenty-first century and the new gods, the "Machines, machines [that] conquered the Earth's crust" (Kurt Pinthus, Die Überfülle des Erlebens; 1925). Gods were what ultimately fascinated Kittler for many years and inspired his creativity. Wasn't he himself the kind of "priest in a white laboratory coat" whose existence he claimed was responsible for animating and blessing the inner life of machines?
One question that the symposium left unanswered (or had to leave unanswered) was: Is it possible to speak in a way that is not fragmentary about Kittler, whose methods were so fundamentally shaped by the characteristic of fragmentarism? A mixture of "precision and messiness," commented Tania Hron, cultural studies scholar and a long-term assistant to Kittler, described his unique system, his technique. Consequently, this comprised only notes, exclusively fragments.
"Why was Jesus crucified?" Friends of Kittler reported of his passionate interest, during his last years, in the history of (early) Christianity. Kittler's original thesis casts Jesus as a "media striker," as a "media rebel," and his murderers are the rabbis, the literate men. He makes the Torah readable for poor people, and shifts them away from the idea of "cryptography," and writes vowels. Jesus was thus a "heretical rabbi, who puts vowels to / vocalizes Hebrew" and therefore also makes the Torah understandable / readable for the Aramaeans; this is the language of the poor. Jesus reads Hebrew; he is the "Hebrew-literate prodigy" – there is no need for the scribe any longer; only "idiots remain with the consonants." The Berlin cultural studies scholar Gerhard Scharbert collects the pieces of Kittler's fragmented literary estate into a complexity and forms a grisaille window of great transparency and beauty in the blue-light saturated media theater. He does so above all in Kittler's characteristic style of being "enraptured" through the love of the subject, which also knows and tolerates "speculation, […] errors, autodidactic exaggeration and unsubstantiated claims" (Kaube). Ludwig Morenz elaborates: "Misunderstandings often lead to cultural promotion!" which is as true today as it was then, one might add. The creation of language, written language, the alphabet, states the Egypt scholar from Bonn, Morenz, is in fact only conceivable as multi-causational, which was an important result of the discussions on the first day. Not one or two aspects, but a whole mix of the most diverse historical, economic, geographical, political, religious, and cultural aspects had a constitutive effect.
"Through thought, a new language," describes the cultural studies scholar Peter Berz of the Humboldt University in Berlin, the way in which Kittler himself forms (with and in regard to Martin Heidegger) a "mixture from which the unpredictable emerges" and which one must be able to follow when speaking "about things from ideas" (Siegfried Zielinski; University of the Arts, Berlin).
"A literary science professor is worthless if he has never himself written poetry," is a statement that is likewise attributed to Kittler. A media archeologist is worthless, if he can't bury himself in his medium, one might think as a correlate, with regard to Friedrich Kittler's passionate synthesizer creations. He bought parts from all over the world, had building instructions sent to him, screwed, soldered, glued parts together. Sebastian Döring (media archaeologist, Berlin) and Jan-Peter E.R. Sonntag (artist, composer, theorist, Berlin) pursued the question: Can Kittler's synthesizer be read like a black box? How is the anatomy of the five magic boxes created? In film and sound installation, it is asked what writing hidden within the devices could be read, for it is forbidden for them to sound. The German Literature Archive Marbach, the "schwäbisch-deutsche Gedächtnisanstalt," does not allow it. The resulting sound could, however, never reproduce that of the late 1970s' and early 1980s' early synthesizer generation; these represent an analog wonderland, always "off pitch." The slightest change in room temperature or humidity have an effect on the sound.
What ultimately comprises Friedrich Kittler's legacy? What does it consist of, essentially? Along with the writing he left behind, excerpted sentences, notes jotted down, circuit diagrams, chess sketches on TypoScripts, he leaves behind above all the hardware / source code: sound tapes, hard drives, diskettes, CD-ROMs, note card boxes. Much research on the unwritten / yet to be written books was contained in his system, which could only be entirely understood by him (precision vs. messiness). Over many years he researched color ascription in literature: "But this life is not long enough" [F. Kittler]. From the nicotine-yellow-clouded legacy, suddenly something personal: pictures of his mother, father, and brother. School grade report. Friedrich Adolf Kittler: the saxophonist of a school band.
Paul Feigelfeld, information scientist and cultural studies scholar in Berlin, told of Kittler's panicked nightly calls. Once it was a melted graphics card (in fact one of the highly appraised "KATASTROPHE(N)!"), once a problem that could be easily resolved by turning the computer off and back on again. A solution that one can repeat until either the device, or the operator, gives up (c.f. Synthesis by Peter Weibel, 1967). Feigelfeld creates an image, illustrates the memory: Kittler at his Linux machine all night, smoking, in his office – how he organized, wrote, programmed: "The way that Kittler wrote programs is not done by anyone anymore: without a programming environment and the like, often weeks-long" [P. Feigelfeld]. In his "manic ecstasy of signifiers" the User_Ich goes to the borders of his hardware, his board (a "lively, epistemological thing"). And each Thursday in his office he gathered around him the followers, the youths, to smoke, experiment, discuss mathematical problems and Greek gods, the radio operator Guderian, and the color theories of Goethe.
Kittler was present, manically so, whether he wanted it or not. "Being, as it was sent by Europa, was the state of being constantly present – what is transient, such as roses, butterflies, and people, appeared to be nothing in light of him," he wrote approximately 10 years ago. People do indeed come and go. What remains? First, the nostalgic memory of this symposium. And how Erika Kittler laughed so beautifully when she tested the sound installation "Rain Dance" by Paul DeMarinisso, using her umbrella, on the ZKM square. Sometimes a lifetime is not enough.
Sven Gringmuth studied media studies, history, social pedagogy, and social studies at the University of Siegen. He wrote his dissertation on the principle semantics in Diedrich Diederichsen's early works and he works at the University of Siegen as teaching staff for special tasks in the area of new German literary science and cultural science.

[Quote by F. Kittler] This comes from his long-term assistant Tania Hron, who reported it in the context of a symposium lecture.

Cheats and Walkthroughs
We brought you the Until Dawn intro video earlier in the week, but G4's feature editor Rob "MurderHead" Manuel was on the scene at Gamescom 2012, and was able to check out a bit more of PS3 exclusive, Move controlled survival-horror game Until Dawn.
Here's a little taste of Rob's Until Dawn preview, that gives us some background on the scary enviroment of Until Dawn.
"As you move up the winding, snow-covered road, you'll find more than just snowmen and woodland creatures along the way. As it turns out, this is an old mining town with a history. The young starlets stumble across abandoned mines that might have seen some use recently and other items that might help out your Scooby team to solve the case. As the developer pointed out, you don't need to look for any of these items to experience the story. But if you want to survive, you might want to poke around a bit."

His balloon is called "Ajuua Dreamer."
Tom Gardner of Albuquerque explains:
"One time when we were in El Paso, we met some ladies from Juarez who made a toast by saying 'Ajuua' and they said it referred to a circle of friends and a circle of good cheer," Gardner said. "Balloonists are very social, so we thought the name was great. We're out here to have a good time and we hope everyone else did, too."
If the laughter was any indication, more than 100 balloon watchers had a good time Sunday as Clovis' Pioneer Balloon Jubilee completed a two-day run with a dozen launchings.
Most balloons traveled 10 miles or more and flew toward the northwest, with the furthest flight Sunday at 17 miles, according to event balloonmeister Russ Grantham of Albuquerque, a pilot of 14 years.
A Portales couple — Daniel Hackett and Jill Chandler — were married in the basket of a red, white and blue balloon called "Cricket's Dream." Theirs was the first balloon to launch Sunday from a field west of Plains Regional Medical Center.
While most onlookers focused on the colorful balloons lifting off and gliding through space, back on the ground a flurry of activity shifted into high gear for the people on the chase crews.
Llano Estacado Boulevard and Curry County's rural dirt roads northwest of Clovis were full of stop-and-start traffic, as pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles tried to keep up with the balloons they were chasing.
For as quickly as a hot air balloon can launch after inflating, sometimes coming down happens even faster in what can be a bumpy ride.
"It hurt when we landed," said 12-year-old Caiden Thomas of Texico. "They told us to just hold on."
His sister, Kylynn Thomas, 8, agreed the abrupt landing was painful but she had a human cushion.
"I landed on my Dad's back," she said. "It was fun."
Their father, Chris Thomas, said he was more worried about his children as the 90,000-cubic-foot balloon bumped the ground hard, tipped a bit and then touched down in the middle of a field near the intersection of Curry County Roads S and 13.
"The landing was a little rough," he said. "I was worried about the kids falling out of the balloon."
Rough landing aside, however, the three — who ended up in a happy heap with their dad sandwiched in the middle — were grinning from ear to ear as they recalled their inaugural flight for their mother Kye and the chase crew.
"It was so quiet," Chris Thomas said. "You can't even tell the winds are blowing when you're up there. And it's really warm up there."
"I didn't think we would go so far," Caiden Thomas said of their nearly 10-mile balloon ride. "It was really cool, too, because the fields were all different colors and shapes and stuff from above."

Placido Domingo Returns To Work After Cancer Surgery
Spanish opera star Placido Domingo has returned to work in Los Angeles, just weeks after undergoing surgery for cancer.
The tenor, 69, went under the knife at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital earlier this month to have a cancerous polyp removed from his colon.
He has been spending his time recuperating in Barcelona, Spain and more recently Acapulco, Mexico, but he flew to California on Thursday where he resumed his post as director of the Los Angeles Opera Company.
Domingo's first job will be organising rehearsals for a production of Simon Boccanegra at Italy's La Scala in April, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Background: There are many different treatment methods for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). It was the purpose of this study to review the results from the literature for different methods of SCFE treatment and on the basis of level of evidence determine the current best evidence treatment.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was undertaken. Treatment results were grouped into 2 categories. The first was all methods without surgical hip dislocation, and the second was all methods in which surgical dislocation was used.
Results: For stable SCFEs without surgical dislocation, the best recommended treatment (mostly level IV) recommends in situ single screw fixation over multiple pin fixation, epiphysiodesis, osteotomy, or spica cast. For the unstable SCFEs without surgical dislocation (all level IV), the best recommended treatment is urgent reduction with decompression and internal fixation. For both stable and unstable SCFEs, the short-term small series in the literature (all level IV) does not demonstrate an advantage or improvement in outcomes compared with in situ single screw fixation for stable SCFE and urgent reduction, decompression, and internal fixation in unstable SCFEs.
Conclusions: A systematic review of the literature recommends on the basis of level of evidence that the best treatment for a stable SCFE is single screw in situ fixation and for unstable SCFEs urgent gentle reduction, decompression, and internal fixation.
Level of Evidence: Level IV, systematic review of level IV studies.

Seam Ripper Kit Gold
Makes a great gift for sewers. I have turned 10+ and the only problem I have had is getting the brass tube glued into the wood blank. After reading other reviews I always use a counter sink to taper the inside edge of the tube after gluing. Do not use a drill. Hand turn the reamer and slightly taper the insertion point. Do not leave sharp corners to tear the O rings. My only problem is I would like to find a source for a few extra O rings.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Good product
About Me
clean tube and remove burrs with fine chain saw file works wonders.
and put a little vaseline on O ring after installation on piece.

I like the weight and feel of this item. I called customer service to see if I could order a replacememt blade. Its labeled as Part A in the instructions. This is even threaded and would make replacing a blade easy. But no replacement blades are availible.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Nice product
E. Aurora NY
I like these kits. I had a problem too with the o-ring on the first one I made because I had glue leak into the tube. I now pack the tube with modeling clay to keep it clean. I wouldn't recommend sanding the inside of the tube. The rougher surface stops the o-rings from working smooth. Debur, chamfer and polishing the inside is ok to do. I find if you just wet the o-ring slightly they slide in nice. It would be nice if they put a couple of extra o-rings in the package. My wife is a quilter and uses it a lot.
Seam Ripper assembly fixes

The O-rings when installed on the blade holder make it to large to fit inside the brass tube.
I have found that by turning the blade holder on my lathe in a chuck fitted with pin jaws I can sand the grove and reduce the diameter enough that the O-rings will fit inside the brass tubes. It take a few attempts to get the fit right.
I also chamfer the brass tube slightly.
I've also noticed while test fitting the blade holder (with the O-rings installed) that twisting the blade holder while pushing it in the tube works the best. Often no further modification is required.
Slight problem
Wet Foot Wes
Sussex, NJ
Received my order for 5 kits on 1/26/12 and upon inspection was impressed. I ordered these after reading too many negative reviews at other merchants sites and felt that the quality here would satisfy my needs. The kit is very well made, BUT the interior diameter of the brass tube is too small when the "O" rings are installed, and too large without them.
De-burr the tube as instructed and with a split mandrel that fits sloppily inside the tube, cut a piece of 220 grit sand paper to size, and enlarge the interior, then with length of 1/4" dowel chucked in your lathe charge it with emory compound and polish the interior until you achieve a good fit.
It may take several attempts - and it really slows down production.
Without opening the inside diameter the fit is so tight as to either ruin the "O" rings, or be way too hard for the recipient to use.
Short of a custom reamer, I have not found a better way to enlarge the tube. Hopefully one of you will and so advise.
I gave it a 4 star rating because it does have potential and would recommend it with the above understanding.

The Very Best of NYC Theater
The Other Place, The Doll Ship, Annie, Scandalous
Don't miss Emmy Award winner and Tony Award nominee Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne) starring in the Manhattan Theatre Club's Broadway-premiere production of The Other Place, starting previews on Dec 11. This riveting new thriller by playwright Sharr White is about Juliana Smithton, a successful neurologist, whose life seems to be coming unhinged. Her husband has filed for divorce, her daughter has eloped with a much older man and her own health is in jeopardy. But in this brilliantly crafted work, nothing is as it seems. Piece by piece, a mystery unfolds as fact blurs with fiction, the past collides with the present and the elusive truth about Juliana boils to the surface.

In recent months I have become a desktop widower. The thing is, my wife was made redundant and I foolishly said she could use the desktop in my office. Then she found a great new job, but working from home instead of London, and the temporary arrangement became permanent.
I now use my laptop day-in, day-out instead of just while travelling. When you use a laptop constantly like that – I use a Sony VGN-SR19XN – it takes a toll. The left mouse key on the trackpad has worn through. This is why the arrival of a rather more

On April 19, 2012, Communities In Schools-Charlotte volunteer Colin Pinkney traveled to Raleigh to receive a North Carolina Governor's Award for Volunteer Service. Pinkney was also awarded the Governor's Medallion Award, the state's highest level of volunteer recognition. There were only twenty Governor's Award winners across the state, including five from Mecklenburg County, one of whom was Colin Pinkney. Communities In Schools Site Coordinator Tawanda Sain-Redd (Olympic High School) and United Way of the Central Carolinas nominated Pinkney for the award, based on his volunteerism and dedication to the young men he has mentored at Olympic High School over the years. At the request of Sain-Redd, Pinkney formed a book club at Olympic for male students struggling in school. To date, 85 young men have successfully completed the program that Pinkney has developed, with a 100% high school graduation rate for participating seniors!
In addition, Communities In Schools and Safe Journey (teen mothers) program partner Elevation Church and Bank of America were group/corporate Governor's Award winners from Mecklenburg County.
Congratulations to Colin Pinkney, Elevation Church, and Bank of America for receiving this outstanding honor!
See related article on United Way of Central Carolina's website for more details.
More CIS Volunteer Recognition
In related volunteer news, several more CIS-Charlotte volunteers were recognized on April 24 at the annual Mayor's Mentoring Alliance luncheon in Charlotte. Congratulations to these CIS volunteers nominated for "Mentor of the Year": Richard and Phyllis Williams (First Ward Elementary); Donald Henderson (Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle), and Becka Tait (South Mecklenburg High). CIS also congratulates Darrin Morton (nominated by another organization), who used to be a CIS volunteer at South Mecklenburg High School where he mentored a student. The student has since graduated, but Morton still keeps in touch with him. Many thanks to ALL of our volunteers who are supporting our students in so many ways!

University of Notre Dame
"You dishonor the reputation of the University of Notre Dame"
Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein sends a sharp note to Jenkins at Notre Dame about Obama Day on May 17, 2009:
"but it's not all THAT bad."
Hattip to Dawn Eden. Yesterday Notre Dame Professor of Philosophy Alfred J. Freddoso addressed a rally of NDResponse, a student group at Notre Dame opposed to the Obama invitation to be the commencement speaker on May 17, 2009. Here is the text of his remarks:
In Defense of Notre Dame
In the Land of Lincoln, when we have any great moral question to address, we often turn to the Daley clan who make their pronouncements from the Duchy of Daley, motto Ubi Est Mea, sometimes mistakenly called Cook County. Now the brother of the current Duke, Richie the Lesser, William M. Daley, has come to the defense of Notre Dame and lambasted Francis Cardinal George for his statement taking the administration of Notre Dame to task for their planned adoration session with Obama on May 17. Father Z has given this statement the fisking to end all fiskings, so I will let him do the honors.
I Write to you with a Heavy Heart
Archbishop Alfred Hughes sent a letter to Jenkins yesterday regarding the Obama homage on May 17, 2009:
Notre Dame Has Certainly Turned Against The Church
Hattip to my friend Feddie at Southern Appeal. In a scathing letter Archbishop Eusebius J. Beltran of Oklahoma City denounces the decision of Notre Dame to pay homage on May 17, 2009 to President Obama.
Notre Dame Professor Calls For Fr. Jenkins To Resign
Breaking story:
The University of Notre Dame student paper The Observer has a piece by Dr. Charles Rice, emeritus professor of law at the University, asked that ND President Fr. John Jenkins resign.
"The invitation should be withdrawn. It implies no personal animosity to suggest that Fr. Jenkins and the other Fellows and Trustees responsible for this fiasco should resign or be removed."
We've had multiple bishops and two cardinals reproach Notre Dame's decision to invite pro-abortion President Obama. Now we have an esteemed professor requesting President Fr. Jenkins resign his position as president of Notre Dame for inviting President Obama and creating this scandal.

Res & Explicatio for A.D. 4-1-2009
Salvete AC readers!
Here are today's Top Picks in the Catholic world:
1. I recently received confirmation from Lila Rose to post here on American Catholic that a little over two weeks ago she converted to the Catholic faith on March 15 in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Deo gratias!
Lila Rose is an impressive young lady. A few weeks ago she was the keynote speaker for the Houston Coalition for Life Benefit 2009 dinner. She has an excellent grasp of the history of the pro-life movement and to my nice surprise she is also very knowledgeable of the role of Catholics in the Pro-Life movement from Mother Teresa of Calcutta to Fr. Frank Pavone.
I had the opportunity to speak with her briefly at the benefit dinner and I came away deeply impressed. She is a talented and motivated young lady and she's only a junior at UCLA. She began getting involved in the pro-life movement as a sophomore in high school by founding a pro-life newspaper! She now runs a production company, LiveActionFilms.org, and is editor-in-chief of the pro-life newspaper at UCLA, The Advocate.
She is the newest crop of Pro-Life warriors that will contribute to the end of abortion on demand nationwide. With the growing strength of the Pro-Life movement being energized more and more with babies, toddlers, children, teens, and young adults, the days of Roe v. Wade are numbered.
2. There is a wonderful story of how two Catholics met online using Ave Maria Singles. The adventure begins when Katie and Devin, for different reasons, chose Ave Maria Singles to search for a spouse. Katie three years out of college saw slim pickings at work, at church, and definitely not at a bar. Devin had been looking online for a spouse for four fruitless years, yet still carried a positive attitude. After an initial 'dust off' by Katie and a close call by Devin, the two, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit were able to find their sacramental partners for life via Ave Maria Singles.
It's a sweet and compact romantic love story that spans two articles, so for the introductory portion click here. For the final encounter and happy ending click here. To learn more about Ave Maria Singles click here.
What does honoring Obama with a law degree communicate about our view of law and morality?
Over at New Catholic, Mark Stricherz expresses his doubts about the 'dialogue model' of engagement with culture, as mounted by some in defense of Obama's appearance at Notre Dame:
But the dialogue model can't, doesn't, and shouldn't entirely govern Catholic universities (and again, all universities). In exceptional cases, it breaks down. Surely these cases are absolute moral issues: torture, slavery, genocide, racial segregation, and yes, violence against pre-natal life (abortion, embryonic stem cell research, and cloning). Universities have little to learn from politicians who support such intrinsic evil. What exactly would Notre Dame have learned from, say, Stephen A. Douglas in the 19th century about domestic policy or Dick Cheney in 2009 about foreign policy? Would Douglas and Cheney have changed their mind about slavery and torture?

Save the Honors for Scholars
On the general outlines of the Obama-honored-by-Notre-Dame fraucus, there can be little question. It's fairly obvious that this was a bad move on the part of the Notre Dame University leadership, especially when they already had a precedent to follow in that they had not had Clinton — another pro-abortion non-Catholic president who had been a law school hot-shot — as a commencement speaker. It's fairly obvious this will be seen, not as an opportunity for dialogue, but as the Catholic intellectual establishment endorsing Obama. It's fairly obvious that Notre Dame will not back down at this point, and to be honest this is very much in keeping with the general tenor of Notre Dame over the last 30 years or so, so that's hardly a surprise either. It's generally agreed that Notre Dame is the most elite Catholic college in the US, and also generally understood that the question of whether it is its Catholicism or its elite status that is its controlling characteristic is undecided.
However, there's a wider question at play here which is, I think, worth considering as regards what academia is and ought to be. It's become quite common for colleges and universities to bring in commencement speakers who have been successful in the wider world: politicans, CEOs, actors, people well known for their work at non-profits, etc.
Cardinal DiNardo Critiques Notre Dame Invite
Daniel Cardinal DiNardo has become the latest in a series of bishops questioning the appropriateness of the University of Notre Dame's invitation to invite President Barack Obama to address the commencement ceremony as well as to receive an Honorary Law degree. One distinguishes Cardinal DiNardo from the previous three bishops is that he is the highest ranking prelate in the United States to voice his "disappointment" to the invitation. The following is an excerpt from the Texas Catholic Herald, the mouthpiece of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston (separation of paragraphs and emphasis mine):
"I find the invitation very disappointing. Though I can understand the desire by a university to have the prestige of a commencement address by the President of the United States, the fundamental moral issue of the inestimable worth of the human person from conception to natural death is a principle that soaks all our lives as Catholics, and all our efforts at formation, especially education at Catholic places of higher learning. The President has made clear by word and deed that he will promote abortion and will remove even those limited sanctions that control this act of violence against the human person."
Third Bishop Reproach's Notre Dame Decision
Bishop Gregory Aymond of the Diocese of Austin has reproached the decision rendered by the University of Notre Dame to allow President Obama to do the 2009 commencement address and receive an honorary law degree. In an E-Pistle issued earlier today, Bishop Aymond had this to say:
"I, along with many other Catholics, express great disappointment and sadness that a Catholic university would honor someone who is pro-choice and who holds many values contrary to our Catholic belief."
Bishop Olmsted Accuses President Jenkins of Disobedience
Here is the text of Bishop Olmsted's letter to President Jenkins (h/t American Papist):
While I am disappointed by President Jenkin's decision to invite President Obama to speak at commencement, particularly the decision to confer an honorary law degree, I have several questions about this letter:
Res & Explicatio for A.D. 3-25-2009
Salvete AC readers!
Here are today's Top Picks in the Catholic world:
1. The great Cardinal Pell offered his thoughts on the future of liturgical development by stating that ad orientem will be mandatory so as to move away the priest as the center of worship back to Jesus Himself, ie, both the priest and the congregation should be facing towards God. In addition, when the priest turns away towards the congregation, there should be a crucifix in between he and the congregation so as to maintain the center of worship God and not the priest. What a wonderful and great Cardinal that Australia has! Let us pray for more such strong leaders of the Church worldwide and especially here in America. Ora pro nobis!

The Bishop Speaks
Hattip to Dale Price. Bishop John M. D'Arcy has made his statement:
"Concerning President Barack Obama speaking at Notre Dame
graduation, receiving honorary law degree
March 24, 2009
On Friday, March 21, Father John Jenkins, CSC, phoned to inform me that President Obama had accepted his invitation to speak to the graduating class at Notre Dame and receive an honorary degree. We spoke shortly before the announcement was made public at the White House press briefing. It was the first time that I had been informed that Notre Dame had issued this invitation.
The Bishop and the President
Bishop John M. D'Arcy of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend is planning to release a statement tomorrow, March 24, on the intention of Notre Dame to pay homage to Obama on May 17, 2009. Assuming that the Bishop condemns the visit this would not be his first clash with the powers that be at Notre Dame. On February 24, 2004 he condemned the annual presentation at Notre Dame of the Vagina Monologues. Notre Dame ignored him, and, under President Jenkins, the department sponsored Vagina Monologues performances continue, with his about face on that issue indicating Jenkins' complete lack of willingness to defend Catholic teaching and morality. On April 30, 2006 and again on March 2008, Bishop D'Arcy released statements about the ongoing performances of the Vagina Monologues, highlighting his intense disagreement with Jenkins. The Bishop has also condemned the "Queer Film Festival" sponsored by Notre Dame.
Notre Shame
The pic above certainly sums up the damage this scandal by the president of the University of Notre Dame Fr. John Jenkins has caused.
Seems the President of Notre Dame, Fr. John Jenkins, comprimised everything he lives and stands for for a few pieces of silver.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Republican Party of Wisconsin emailed a statement 30 minutes before polls closed saying Democrats were still divided after the primary by choosing Tom Barrett.
Barrett faced three other Democrats and one Republican posing as a Democrat in the primary. No election results are known until at least 8 p.m. but the release came at 7:30 p.m.
The email quoted Republican Party spokesman Ben Sparks reacting to what the party said were the results of the primary.
Sparks is quoted as saying Barrett's "failed record in Milwaukee has been a serious concern throughout this contentious primary, and tonight, many Democrats showed they're still not convinced he's the right candidate to challenge Governor Walker."
Sparks says with four weeks until the election, Republicans were wasting no time comparing Walker with Barrett.
