Skip to comments.Mark Kelly On Fox Presses For Background Checks: This Isnt About The Second Amendment Anymore
Posted on 02/03/2013 1:31:34 PM PST by Tailgunner Joe
Mark Kelly, husband of former Rep. Gabby Giffords, spoke to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday this week, reiterating his support for universal background checks and responding to the NRAs anti-gun control arguments. Simply put, Kelly said, less people would die due to gun violence if the legislation were put in place.
Wallace looked to the example of Jared Loughner, the gunman who opened fire in Arizona, killing and injuring many, including Giffords. He passed a background check, Wallace noted.
Loughner clearly was mentally ill, Kelly said and if his condition was entered into the background check system, presumably he would not pass. Arizona, he said, hadnt entered 121,000 records into the system, and that could certainly make a difference given that 1.7 million have been rejected since 1999.
Wallace further asked what difference a limit a restriction on high-capacity magazines would be make. Kelly replied that it does matter, because the time spent reloading is time for others to restrain the person.
Next on the list was the controversial assault weapons ban, which the NRAs Wayne LaPierre vehemently opposes. Previously, LaPierre has said, the ban didnt work, so its not necessary now.
I dont know if it worked or not, Kelly said. I havent at all the statistics. Common sense tells me that if it is much more difficult for criminals and the mentally ill to get assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and guns in general, we will save lives.
Having served in the military, Kelly said he knows the value of assault weapons in when used in mass shootings, more people die. He did agree with LaPierre that many gun laws need to be better enforced, but also asserted the need to close the gun show/private seller loopholes.
This isnt about the Second Amendment anymore, Kelly said. This is about public safety.
There isnt sufficient legislation, he continued, leading Wallace to point out the NRAs political clout and ask how much, realistically, can be achieved on the gun control front.
Both sides of the aisle agree we need to do something, he said. Its not going to be easy, but we need common sense answers. I know the value of an assault weapon, and its to kill a lot of people very quickly, Kelly added.
Asked for his message, man to man, to LaPierre (who was on in the next segment), Kelly said: Hell say background checks dont work, but thats not true.
I hope Mr. LaPierre can think about what would his members want, he said. Seventy-four percent of NRA members think it is a very reasonable thing to do to have a background check before buying a gun.
I hope he would listen to his membership because members of the NRA tend to be very reasonable on this issue.
No, it's always about the second Amendment. There is never a time when, you want to infringe in some way, that it's not going to be about it.
Has this guy been a lifelong Baraqqi, or just fall into the trap after hooking up with a Dem chick in 07?
Wonder how much Kelly is making on this tour.
If he's an astronaut, I assume he is former or current military, right? And he doesn't know that a firearm can be reloaded in 2-3 seconds? Huh?
There's a ton of info on Loughner that has been kept quiet. I was stunned when I started googling..
Yes, Mark, it is about the Second Amendment and always has been. Educate yourself, maybe even you can learn something.
Or would that not fit your agenda?
This is about money. Sarah brady move over. Gabby Giffords is the new gun control poster child. Psst honey. We can make lots of money protesting guns
They already have background checks except for the illegal and criminals.
BUT, BUT, BUT Joe Biden said the gun laws we have on hand now cannot be enforced because there are not enforcers to do it....so why do we need more gun laws??????Hmmmmm????
The latter
I live in AZ CD 2, Gabby Giffords old district. The talk here is that Mr. Kelly wants a political future, and he is using his wife's issue to obtain it. The question is: what office will he seek - her old congressional seat, AZ governor (2014) or John McCain's seat (2016). Ms. Giffords has achieved sainthood down here and he easily could capitalize on it.
A gun control whore just like his wife.
I object to background checks for several reasons, primarily that it provides a permanent record of a transaction thereby acting as a de facto registration, wastes time and money, and restricts trade. Every gun owner I know involved in private sale transactions is aware of the responsibility associated with the transfer of a firearm. Most sales are to friends and/or fellow collectors. Because I have a common name, I've had to wait over a day to get permission to buy a gun. In the world of collectible firearms, many an opportunity to acquire a desired item would be lost just waiting for approval. And then there's always the question: "What do you really accomplish by having a background check?" Do most guns used in crimes come from legal transactions or were they stolen or black market firearms? I think we overlook the obvious; that someone with intent to do harm will do so, whether it be guns, hammers, poison, fertilizer, bats or whatever as the method of delivery.
permits require permission... which can be withheld
a right cannot be withheld... only denied
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
exactly how did some govt flunky get the ability to deny me my rights? show me the Constitutional foundation for it
You are correct...why should be submit to more scrutiny than our elected officials submit to?
My background check is under Obama's birth certificate.
I see he's working for Elon Musk now, I wonder if that is an influence also?
I know the value of an assault weapon, and its to kill very quickly any crazy AR-15 armed nut bent on massacreing kids about to enter a school, I added.
Mr Gabby is in this for money and attention. His wife was shot with a pistol, not an "assault weapon". He's another Sara Brady, a hanger-on exploiting a personal tragedy for profit. He is scum.
Merchant Marine Academy, Naval Aviator.
In a sense, he's right. It is, first and foremost in the minds of the obamas, feinsteins, schumers and so on, about their inexorable march toward absolute power, through the creation of a massive imbalance of force between the government and its employers. Very similar to a cabal of capos conspiring to overthrow and assassinate the don in order to split all the goodies among themselves.
Less people would be killed on the street if we were all marched to a gulag. I decline!
He was an A-6 pilot on the USS Midway in Japan. Except for the Seals and EOD guys, the Navy isn't crazy about shipboard people having personal firearms. There is very little firearms training in flight school.
Do you mean something like the brady gang?
This is about public safety.
I have some health problems and the only I can keep my wife safe is with a firearm of my choice. I guess mr kelly was to big a wuss to protect his wife.
How long would it take before every non-communist in the country was classified as having an "anti-social personality disorder"?
Mr Gabby = space cadet
Mark Kelly's had nothing original to say.
He simply regurgitated all the same talking points we have heard over and over again and that have been debunked over and over again.
This man is a puppet who once wore a spacesuit.
That's the impression I get...This is all the predicate to his own political aspirations. Just like Sandra Fluck. I foudn him rather unimpressive in the Wallace interview. He got all soft and disoriented when asked about any legislation's chance for passage.
Not 'Less people would die'.
But 'less people would die due to gun violence'.
See, stabbings, strangulations, poisonings, bludgeonings, suffocations, drownings, death by fire, crashing into victims with cars, all these are FINE. It's *gun* violence. *THAT'S* the problem.
I despise Kelly, but this is unfair, and a heinous comment. Almost wondering if it should be flagged for removal.
..."Wonder how much Kelly is making on this tour."...
It is difficult not to wonder about those things, isn't it? I watched the softball interview done by liberal Chris Wallace and I was not impressed with him or with Kelly.

Gloria Bunker: "Daddy don't you know 10,000 people a year are killed by handguns!''. Archie Bunker: "Little girl, would ya feel any better if dey wuz pushed outta windows?''.
Says you.
..."Mr Gabby is in this for money and attention. His wife was shot with a pistol, not an assault weapon. Hes another Sara Brady, a hanger-on exploiting a personal tragedy for profit. He is scum."...
I agree with you.
I'd say your experience would have been different on a Cruiser, Destroyer or Frigate. We trained the whole crew often on everything from 50 cal MGs and smaller. We had a privately owned sniper rifle on the bridge because Surf-Pac wouldn't give us one.
do what you gotta do.
Why is the SERIAL NUMBER and MODEL NUMBER needed for a background check?
It seems to me that you should ONLY check the person and be done with it. Nothing is gained with serial and model numbers,UNLESS someone is trying to build up a database for later confiscation (which, of course, our government denies they want to do)
Another Brady Bunch, trading on tragedy and sympathy to push their leftist agenda.
This sort of skin-deep reasoning amuses me. It's like the old story about the guy who encounters a drunk on his hands and knees groveling around in the street. The guy asks him what he's doing and the drunk replies, "I'm looking for my keys". The man, wanting to be helpful, joins the search asking, "Where did you have them last?"
The drunk points down the road. The man asks why he's is all the way over here and the drunk replies
"The light is better over here"
They know what the proximate cause is but they're either to lazy or just too dishonest to fix the root problem. It's easier to attack the innocent.
In any event, he's starting to get on my nerves. He's the Left's newest poster boy. He's everywhere.....like a beady-eyed little ferret that gets in your basement and annoys the hell out of you trying to get rid of it.
I take it they are openly talking sedition now!?!
And no, the Cops never caught him (or her).
Looks like I'm starting to dislike Astronauts as much as I dislike Clowns.
Yep, pretty mean comment, but I think people trying to abridge my God Given Constitutional Rights deserve all the ridicule I can muster.
Background check to help insure firearms don't get into the hands of the mentally ill...certainly sounds like a good idea.
But, who gets to decide what is 'mentally ill'?
Universal background checks on all firearms transfers...sounds like a good idea. But, will the criminals comply?
In point of fact, neither of these ideas would have prevented Newtown.
The only proper immediate response to an armed bad-guy is an equally or better armed good-guy. The police have no obligation to protect anyone, and are mere minutes away when seconds count.
Arm yourself, protect yourself, defend yourself.
Add presidents to that list.

Un-Stuffed Cabbage Soup
Recipe courtesy of E and Z Feigenbaum
- Meatballs:
- 2 pounds ground meat (or your favorite blend of veal, pork and beef)
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 medium onion, minced
- Soup:
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup coarsely minced onion
- 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 1 cup tomato paste
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes with juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium cabbage
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- Sour cream and fresh dill, for garnish
For the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, rice, salt, pepper, cumin and onions. Form into 1-inch balls and set aside while you make the soup.
For the soup: In a 6-quart pot, sweat the garlic in the olive oil until white in color. Add the onions and sweat until translucent. Then add 1 1/2 cups water, the carrots, tomato paste, brown sugar, ketchup and whole tomatoes with juice. Season with salt and pepper and simmer at a lively bubble for 10 minutes. Crush the whole tomatoes with a potato masher or fork. Continue to simmer until the carrots are tender, about 10 more minutes.
Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth but not pureed. Return the soup to the pot. Remove the cabbage ribs and cut the leaves crosswise into 1/4-inch ribbons. Add the cabbage to the soup and stir to incorporate. Add the bay leaf and simmer over medium-high heat for 10 minutes more (the cabbage should be reduced in size). Add water to thin the soup to the desired consistency. Add the meatballs and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the lemon juice and raisins 10 minutes before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sour cream and dill.

After he took his jacket off and made the comment "that's the big wardrobe change for tonight" it was clearly visible, unfortunately I only got a few pics that you could make it out, and even then it was only because I knew what I was looking for. Oh well, enough of my being obsessed with the bug on his shirt.

Nomination nerves: Students wait anxiously for Freddys announcement
High school students across our region were on pins and needles Thursday. The 2012 Freddy Award nominations were announced live right here on WFMZ.
In the world of high school musical theater, it doesn't get much bigger than this.
"It's always a fun day," said William Marshall from Parkland High School. "I always get excited for it so being able to watch the nominations is something awesome that happens every year."
Hundreds of high-schoolers across our region had nomination nerves. Including students at Parkland High School in South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County.
"Just a whole lot of anticipation cuz you hear the names called off and your waiting, your waiting, your waiting," said student Steve Titus.
Fingers were crossed, legs were bouncing. And then it happened.
Again and again Parkland students heard their name called. The excitement even bringing some to tears.
The school's performance of Hello Dolly took home 12 nominations.
"I think every year's really different, I never expect anything," said Musical Director Frank Anonia. "I'm always really proud of what my students can accomplish, we work really hard so this stuff's just icing on the cake."
The spotlight was also on Liberty High School in Bethlehem. Students sat on the edge of their seats in anticipation.
"I was really nervous, yeah, I was kinda shaking over there," smiled Ellen Schmoyer.
Their rendition of Les Miserables brought in three nominations. Including Darah Donaher's nod for outstanding solo vocal performance. She played Eponine.
"I could not have asked for a better way to end my Liberty theater experience," said Donaher.
The company was working with a new director, and half the cast had never performed before.
"We had a very successful show," said Musical Director Julie Mixtacki. "It sold out almost every night, standing ovations, that's what important.
Freedom High took home the most nominations with 17.
In two weeks these students will take center stage again at the 2012 Freddy Awards.

A general forum for runners in Thanet
CB, I've started my timer to see how long it takes Snoop to find this thread and entertain us with his Fannet Memories.....I give it an hour......
Hello CB & Scotty
sorry but Thanet makes me think of only one thing
I'd rendez-vous with JanetQuite near the Isle of ThanetShe looked more like a gannetShe wasn't half a prannetHer mother tried to ban itHer father helped me plan itAnd when I captured JanetShe bruised her pomegranateOh, you ask Joyce and VickyIf I ever shaped up trickyI'm not a blooming thickyI'm Billericay DickieAnd I'm doing very well
What a great idea.
Apropos nothing - I was talking to some of my TriClub buddies during a very wet and cold cycle ride on sunday and there was a resounding THANK YOU to all of the marshalls at the recent 10 miler. They did a stonking job by all accounts in the most terrible conditions too. another resounding success for the fannit road runners!!
Nice song Yeo!
PSC, yep, would consider it one of the more "interesting" marshalling moments!!!!
An amusing moment at training on Sunday. I was asked to thank my lad Al for his work at the finish, I was then asked if the young lad with him (Henry) was my grandson!
Ohdearyme, Scotty - I ruined your prediction there a tad.
Sorry Guys - this thread has a very limited lifespan, a bit like the aged population of Fannit itself - on its last legs.
Better instead start one on on somewhere in Kent where something happens occasionally....
I have been to Thanet ................................................
................................ and escaped alive (though smelling slightyl of cabbages)
And what happens there, apart from ASBO's and teenage pregnancy?
well.....apart from teenage delinquents and a higher proportion of pramfaces than in Margit, nothing much.
I ain't advocating Chatham's any better than Fannit - just not so many 'olds' there.

Firm's Recall Hotline: (800) 622-8339
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: Aqua Dots
Units: About 4.2 million
Distributor: Spin Master, of Toronto, Canada
Hazard: The coating on the beads that causes the beads to stick to each other when water is added contains a chemical that can turn toxic when many are ingested. Children who swallow the beads can become comatose, develop respiratory depression, or have seizures.
Incidents/Injuries: CPSC has received two reports over the past several days of children swallowing Aqua Dots. A 20-month-old child swallowed several dozen beads. He became dizzy and vomited several times before slipping into a comatose state for a period of time, was hospitalized, and has since fully recovered. A second child also vomited and slipped into a comatose state and was hospitalized for five days.
Description: The recalled toy is a craft kit which allows children to create various multi-dimensional designs using small colored beads. The beads fuse together when sprayed with water. The recall applies to all models of Aqua Dots. The product is available in various different kits with accessories such as a drying fan, applicator pen, design templates for the beads, and spray bottle. The product is labeled for ages 4+.
Sold at: Mass merchandisers nationwide from April 2007 through November 2007 for between $17 and $30.
Manufactured in: China
Remedy: Consumers should immediately take the recalled toy away from children and contact Spin Master to return for free replacement beads or a toy of equal value.
Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Spin Master at (800) 622-8339 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.aquadotsrecall.com

We like to drink a lot of tea. Is it bad for the tea to use 16 oz and just use more scoops? Or should we brew two seperate pots? Its not a cast iron one - its a ceramic pot. Here is a link to what we bought in the store http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/tea ... teapot-set. We are reading your pm now!
PS. The sencha that we really like the flavor of is the fuka midori in the dens sampler. That's the type of flavors we like. Isn't there a way to boil / make where tea is less bitter and more sweet? Thanks!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by aubergine well made These underwear are well made and they are not made in China, a feature that is very important to me. Some others that I've purchased have problems with the waist band or leg openings separating on first use, but these are great. Now, let me say something about your store. You guys are great! You're big enough that you have almost anything one would need or want, but you're small enough that you know your inventory. Other companies that I've tried to order from either do not answer emails or can not answer phone calls because they do not know where their stuff is made. You guys always come through. Thanks. May 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Pat North Great product!! I am very happy with the lollipop panties that I received a few weeks ago, and if I need to order something else, I will order it from you. Would you be able to please send me one of your catalogs? Thank you so much. April 22, 2016

Safety Around Radiation Sources
Types of Radiation Exposure
Managing Radiation Emergencies
Regardless of where or how an accident involving radiation happens, three types of radiation-induced injury can occur: external irradiation, contamination with radioactive materials, and incorporation of radioactive material into body cells, tissues, or organs.
External irradiation occurs when all or part of the body is exposed to penetrating radiation from an external source. During exposure this radiation can be absorbed by the body or it can pass completely through. A similar thing occurs during an ordinary chest x-ray. Following external exposure, an individual is not radioactive and can be treated like any other patient. (Refer to the sections on assessment and treatment in Hospital Emergency Care of the Radiation Accident Patient.)
The second type of radiation injury involves contamination with radioactive materials. Contamination means that radioactive materials in the form of gases, liquids, or solids are released into the environment and contaminate people externally, internally, or both. An external surface of the body, such as the skin, can become contaminated, and if radioactive materials get inside the body through the lungs, gut, or wounds, the contaminant can become deposited internally. Refer to Managing Emergencies Involving Radiation for additional information.
The third type of radiation injury that can occur is incorporation of radioactive material. Incorporation refers to the uptake of radioactive materials by body cells, tissues, and target organs such as bone, liver, thyroid, or kidney. In general, radioactive materials are distributed throughout the body based upon their chemical properties. Incorporation cannot occur unless contamination has occurred. (Refer to the section on assessment and treatment of the contaminated patient in Hospital Emergency Care of the Radiation Accident Patient.)

You need to teach your child "When I do what I'm asked, I get what I want." -Kerri Orr, Behavioral Therapist
Memorize this message because you will be teaching it to your child over and over again. In order to teach this, you must begin with simple trades that your child is capable of doing. For example, my little gal doesn't obey commands like "bring me your sippy cup" or "bring me a book and I will read it". She does obey commands like "give me a high five" and "give mommy a kiss". It's a simple practice that I am weaving into my daily life that is teaching her that in order to get what she wants, she must give me something first as a trade.
Bargaining examples for a young toddler:
1.) My daughter looks at me in front of a chair and says "up" one of her first words and most often used. I tell her, "First give Mommy a kiss and then I will put you up!" Once I get the kiss (trade unit) I do what she wants (assistance).
2.) When she asked for cheese, I said, "First give Daddy a high-five and then I will give you some cheese."
3.) "I know you want to play. Can you give me your brush first? Then we will play."
Bargaining examples for an older toddler:
1.) First bring me your shoes and then we will go for a walk.
2.) First you need to eat then we will play.
3.) I know you want to go to the park/playground. Thank you for telling me. We will go in ten minutes (set timer). First you need to play here for ten minutes and then mom will take you to the park/playground.
Always keep your end of the bargain immediately after your child has kept their end to maintain consistency and trust.
Another problem: Tissue in the mouth (aka, unacceptable item in mouth)
What child hasn't chewed paper towel, toilet paper, facial tissues and random paper? My little gal takes after me in this respect as I used to make spit balls as a toddler and place them in little piles. My problem is that my daughter will chew the paper like chewing gum…and won't spit it out into my hand when I ask her to. This non-compliant behavior could represent a safety issue somewhere else. It has to be handled correctly.
WARNING: If you introduce food as something 'appropriate for the mouth' to TRADE for the paper in the mouth you are establishing in the child's mind the following: "If I have something bad in my mouth, mom will trade me some food for it. Therefore, all I have to do to get food is put something bad in my mouth."
Here's a script for a correct trade
Mom: "Would you like some apple (something appropriate in the mouth)? First I need you to take that out of your mouth and give it to me, then you can have the apple."
Stay tuned for more!

|Fremont, California
Getting the Community Behind School Traffic Safety, Seat Belt Compliance and Red Light Photo Enforcement
In looking at Fremonts traffic safety needs, the city decided to place its priorities upon three areas:
The first two initiatives are underway, and the third is in the planning stages. In implementing these programs, the Fremont Police Department interacts extensively with the community in order to gain maximum public support for both enforcement and prevention efforts.
School Safety Programs
The Fremont Police Department Traffic Services Unit coordinates a Crossing Guard Program, employing approximately 30 local community members. These adults staff busy intersections before and after school for the purpose of stopping vehicular traffic to allow students to cross the street safely.
To augment the work of the adult crossing guards, the Traffic Services Unit coordinates a second program - the citywide Junior Safety Patrol composed of elementary school students. These youthful volunteers assist younger children in crossing the street before and after school.
The Fremont Police Department Traffic Services Unit is also active in the School Safety Advisory Committee. In addition to the police department representatives, this interagency body consists of members from the City of Fremont Transportation Engineering, Fremont Unified School District, Fremont Unified School District Transportation, and school parent-teacher associations. The committee cooperatively addresses traffic hazards, congestion, and other safety issues surrounding local schools.
In addition to these existing programs, the Fremont Police Department is currently exploring innovative ways to reduce traffic congestion around the schools. The Traffic Services Unit is in the process of coordinating a series of meetings between city officials, school district administrators, and private sector transportation specialists. The goal of these meetings is to develop a partnership between the transportation specialists and the schools, students, and parents to promote safe walking groups, teach bicycle safety, and implement trip reduction programs.
Seat Belt Enforcement
Recognizing the value of seat belts in reducing the number of deaths and injuries caused by motor vehicle collisions, the State of California enacted its mandatory seat belt law in 1986. In 1993, California changed its mandatory seat belt law from secondary to primary enforcement. As a result of this legislation and the corresponding enforcement, Californias seat belt compliance rate was the highest in the nation in 1997.
The City of Fremont capitalizes on the state seat belt law as an injury prevention measure. As a means of encouraging compliance, officers from the Traffic Services Unit and the Community Policing Patrol of the Fremont Police Department practice aggressive primary enforcement of the mandatory seat belt law, issuing an average of 155 citations each month. However, in addition to stringent enforcement, the Fremont Police Department also places emphasis upon education so that the public understands the injury prevention rationale for the seat belt law. Accordingly, the police department conducts numerous presentations to community groups, stressing the importance of seat belt usage - especially to children. As a result, seat belt compliance in the City of Fremont is estimated to be nearly 90 percent.
Planned Photo/Computer Enforcement Of Red Light Running
In 1996, the State of California enacted legislation authorizing automated (photographic) enforcement systems for red light violations. Typical systems consist of an unattended camera linked to the signal light system to photograph the violator and the vehicle license plate for the subsequent issuance of a citation to be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. The advantages of such systems is that they offer constant, unstaffed enforcement and deterrence.
In an effort to reduce red light violations in the City of Fremont, the Fremont Police Department began exploring the possibility of installing a photo/computer system. The City Council authorized the proposed system in 1996, but the approved vendor was unable to accommodate the citys order. Therefore, the Fremont Police Department is currently revisiting the issue with the hope that the City Council will again approve the installation of a photo/computer system. As with other traffic safety initiatives in Fremont, the police department will work with the community for public support of this automated enforcement measure.

[quoteG]iles Martin: Rubber Soul and Help! were remixed by my dad in 1988 or '87 for CD. And when we did "Love", we got to do Yesterday, and I couldn't understand why there were so much echo and reverb on the voice 'cause it was very non-Beatles. And it was only when I came back and I was listening to the remasters I asked "how come this is the case?" and they said "well we are remastering the eighties versions of [Rubber Soul and Help!]" and I said "why aren't we remastering the originals, we should remaster what came out then [in 1965]?"
And they said "Well, your father wouldn't be very happy with us not remastering the versions he did in the eighties."
So I spoke to my dad and I asked "Do you mind if they remaster the sixties version?" and he went "I don't even remember doing them in the eighties!"[/quote]
and then
Allan Rouse in an interview with Record Collector: "The remasters were based on the master-tapes, with the exception of two albums: George Martin's 1987 mixes of Help! and Rubber Soul. People are questioning why we used those. George Martin is the fifth Beatle. He chose to do it. You can argue with him, but I'm not going to."
Basically out of a misguided effort to pay respect to GM, they gave us 16 bit 80s dreck on the official remastered versions.

A nurse led clinic and computer decision support system for anticoagulation decisions was at least as effective as a hospital clinic
QUESTION: For patients who require oral anticoagulation, is a nurse led clinic that uses onsite blood testing and a computerised decision support system as effective as routine hospital care for maintaining appropriate international normalised ratios (INRs)?
Randomised {allocation concealed}*, unblinded, controlled trial with 1 year of follow up.
9 of 21 potential general practices in Birmingham, UK.
224 adults (55% men) who were receiving warfarin. Follow up was 82%.
122 patients were allocated to nurse led care in the general practice. The nurse met with the patient, measured the INR with onsite equipment, and used the computer program (Anticoagulation Management Support System [Softop Information Systems, Warwick, UK]) to direct dosing decisions. The program was based on the British Society of Haematology guidelines and had 2 main ranges of INR (2.0–3.0 and 3.0–4.5). If a dosing change was suggested, the nurse checked the change …

I bought my first Clif bar a bit over a year ago in Australia for almost $4! I loved it but couldn't justify buying them at all regularly until I found iherb. The white chocolate macadamia is one of my favourites. It's sweet, obviously, and you can taste the white chocolate but it's not overpowering. Combined with the buttery crunch of the macadamia it's an absolute winner as far as I'm concerned. My girlfriend prefers a few other flavours, but luckily she's not the one reviewing!
Very sweet

City Man Faces Charges After Fleeing, Consuming Cocaine
A Jamestown man has been charged after fleeing police early Monday morning.
Police around 2:45 a.m. spotted Donathan L. Alston, 41, walking west on East Second Street. Officers attempted to stop Alston, who police said seemed suspicious.
According to a police report, Alston began to eat an unknown substance as they approached him. The Jamestown resident allegedly then fled on foot.
After a short pursuit, Alston was apprehended and was found to be in possession of crack cocaine. During their investigation, Alston gave officers a fake name.
Police learned Alston had outstanding warrants issued from the city of Jamestown.
Alston was taken into custody and charged with second-degree obstructing governmental administration, seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, tampering with evidence and second-degree criminal impersonation.
He was held pending arraignment.

Just got my gaiwan and stuff from mountain tea today, I was lucky to have them both arrive on the same day. I haven't experienced very many teas so sorry if the review is a little vague, I don't have much to base this tasting off of. I'm also including the brew process so if anyone with more experience in this kind of tea has suggestions feel free to comment.
There was a free sample of organic mountain oolong in the box, which is what I decided to open first. The scent of the dry tea is that of dark pitted fruits and honey with a sort of grassyness in there as well. After a rinse and the first brew it really opens up and becomes very floral, it reminds me of jasmine tea but it's more subtle, not so perfumy like jasmine is.
The gaiwan is about 180 ml ( 6 ounces )
The flavor is a lot like the aroma; feels like I'm in a flower garden, maybe a little butteryness on the finish. One thing I did notice is that it's kind of bitter, I used boiling water so maybe it was too hot, the infusions were only 20-30 seconds each time so I don't feel like I steeped for too long. Perhaps this style just has some bitterness to it? It's definitely not overwhelming, but it is there, and after drinking longjing for weeks maybe I'm just used to teas with a sweeter finish. The gaiwan is about 180 ml ( 6 ounces )

On our last night in Sochi, members of the U.S. delegation made a point of visiting the USA House -- the central gathering place for our team -- and congratulating our nation's terrific athletes. They made us proud, and they proved to be excellent ambassadors for our nation in Russia.
Sunday night's stunning closing ceremony at Fisht Stadium demonstrated that spirit, presenting a spectacle that included tributes to Russian ballet, music, and literature. How many countries in the world would celebrate its great writers at an Olympic ceremony? It was a fitting end to the Sochi games. And the crowd in the stadium appreciated the "inside joke" when one of the Olympic rings was slow in unfolding, mirroring the stubborn ring in the opening ceremony.
Of course, the vitality of the Games was clearest in places like the ski slopes and the Bolshoy Ice Dome and the Sanki Sliding Center. One of the highlights of my career was joining other members of our delegation -- Deputy Secretary of State William J. Burns; Tennis Hall of Fame member Billie Jean King, a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom; and two celebrated Olympic gold medalists in speed skating, Bonnie Blair and Dr. Eric Heiden -- at competitions, the closing ceremony, and the USA House.
In some ways, diplomacy at its best can emulate the Olympic spirit, striving for the common good. I made a point of visiting our team of U.S. diplomats at the temporary office space where they worked.
I admire the professionalism and dedication of the diplomats and other professionals who worked behind the scenes to make Sochi a success: consular officials who helped Team USA, their family members and the thousands of other American visitors; security experts who looked after their safety; management officials who performed Herculean tasks to keep our operation running smoothly; and public affairs officers engaging in sports diplomacy and working with the media.
My fellow Olympic delegate, five-time gold medal winner Dr. Heiden, once said he admired athletes "who have a strong character and who let their abilities speak for themselves."
In the Sochi Olympic Games, our Team USA athletes, as well as their competitors from around the globe, have demonstrated that ability and character. Whether they won a medal or not, whether they took home gold, silver or bronze, they have earned our deepest admiration and respect.

School's out — and Crossing the IcecapSaturday, May 17th, 2008
This town of 14,000 lives by…well, I don't know what it lives by. Maybe the government, since Nuuk is the capitol of Greenland. Both most certainly not its capital. I went down a hill to the water's edge. There, three locals urged me to join them in drinking beer, which they yanked out of a large paper bag. Meanwhile, children played under the supervision of their bleary eyes. Paradox. All this great natural beauty of Greenland, and the natives appear to be hooked on a variety of toxic habits. I know, being judgmental is frowned upon these politically-correct days. But it's hard to avoid when you draw in the crystal-clear air up here, and enjoy such tremendous scenery and visibilities. When the weather is good, that is. Which it is. It's severe clear, in fact.
Back to the school theme. I waddled from the dinner table to go to bed. It was still light outside at 11p.m. Fell asleep anyway. Awakened at 3 a.m. by a racket that sounded like a combination of fighting, drunken yelling, and two-stroke motorcycle racing. Seems the school year had just ended. The partying had commenced. It died down by 6 a.m. But so what? I'd been awake since 4 a.m. Maybe it was the noise, maybe the sun piercing the gap in the curtains.
I flew again with Bill Anastos and Dottie Thompson in their Conquest II. It took a while to get our IFR oceanic clearance, which we never got on the ground. Instead, we were cleared to depart into uncontrolled airspace (which goes to 19,500 feet), then contacted Sondestrom radio for the clearance. Now, this is one thing if it's severe clear (which it was), but it would have been something else if the weather was down. Think of it–launching into a non-radar environment, in icing conditions, with mountains nearby.
Our clearance turned out to be the following: climb to 19,000 feet; go direct 65N 45W; then the DA NDB; then 65N 30W; then direct Gimli intersection, direct RK NDB (which is at BIRK). Our final altitude was 31,000 feet, and the trip took 2 hours, 44 minutes. There were some great views of the ice cap along the way, but then it was a continuous undercast. For the landing, we used BIRK's runway 13. The weather was: few 1500, overcast 3800, with rain showers–but visibility unrestricted beneath the ceiling.
There was enroute drama involving the turbine Duke. At one point the crew felt it might not have enough fuel to land at BIRK with adequate fuel reserves. (The wind had changed, slowing the airplane's groundspeed). Even worse, the alternate, Kulusuk (it's on the east coast of Greenland), had gone below landing minimums. But bottom line: the Duke made it with gas aplenty. It did require some power reductions to reduce fuel consumption, however. That's tough to do when you're in the middle of the ocean with 400 miles to go. Pilot Jeff Yusem likened his dilemma to those he faced as a paymaster in the Army. "We payed in cash," he said. "So I had this stack of bills and I doled it out to a huge line of soldiers. After a while you could see that the pile of cash was not tall enough to take care of the remaining soldiers."
After landing, we had a tour of the nearby Reykjavik control center–an ATC facility that often handles 650 or more ocean-crossing flights per day. It controls the airspace from the Arctic Circle to just north of Scotland, and from western Greenland to the North Sea. A shift manager, Hordur Ariliusson, showed us the workstations and displays. Huge screens were the rule, and here's something we all noticed immediately: the room was well-lit. No dungeon-like darkness of the kind seen in U.S. ARTCCs.
Right now I'm kicking back in Reykjavik's Hotel Borg. One more bottle of Icelandic glacier water, and it's off to dinner. Tomorrow is a non-flying day. I'll visit some of Iceland's glaciers, volcanos and geysers. Should be fun, which is the whole idea, right? Wish you were here.

In case you didn't know...
Lots of negative comments about this on The Beatles own website. I agree there are other projects I'd like to see (i.e. Let It Be DVD), but I was surprised they didn't do with the rest of the remasters. There will always be people who just want a 'Best of Beatles'. So why deprive them?
Although I do think it should be one double set (both red and blue can fit onto one CD each!)

Detroit Red Wings prospect Riley Sheahan pleaded guilty on Thursday morning in Grand Rapids, Mich., to operating a vehicle with a blood-alcohol content of .17 or more.
Charges of displaying or using false identification and driving the wrong way on a one-way street were dismissed.
Sheahan's legal representative, Terese Paletta, was not immediately available for comment, but a clerk at the 61st District Court said Sheahan entered a guilty plea before Judge Jeanine N. LaVille on the drunken-driving charge.
Sheahan next faces a pre-sentencing investigation, then sentencing.
Sheahan, who turned 21 earlier this month, was arrested Oct. 30 while driving in downtown Grand Rapids. He was dressed in a purple Teletubby costume for Halloween and was carrying the ID of Grand Rapids Griffins teammate Brendan Smith.
Sheahan was charged under Michigan's "super-drunk" DUI law because of his blood-alcohol content.
The Red Wings drafted Sheahan 21st overall in 2010. General manager Ken Holland told the Free Press that the team is monitoring Sheahan's situation.

On New Year's Day, our nation celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. President Obama commemorated the anniversary with two Presidential Proclamations: one that celebrates the Emancipation Proclamation and reaffirms the timeless principles it upheld, and a second that declares January 2013 as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month and calls on all Americans to recognize the vital role we can play in ending all forms of slavery.
President Obama referred to the Emancipation Proclamation as having "brought a new day -- that 'all persons held as slaves' would thenceforth be forever free. We wrote that promise into our Constitution. We spent decades struggling to make it real." Yet more than a century and a half later, a great deal of work still remains to fulfill the promise of freedom and restore hope to the millions who are still enslaved today.
Globally, as many as 27 million are victimized in modern slavery. This exploitation occurs every day in our cities and towns. It taints the global supply chains of the products we rely on every day. In countries across the world, it tears apart families, undermines communities, creates instability, and threatens the rule of law.
And, as the recently released documentary Journey to Freedom demonstrates, the nightmares faced by today's modern slaves are hauntingly similar to those of the slaves of the 1800s. These stories remind us that slavery -- then as now -- is about the exploitation of men, women, and children who are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. In the past, slavery's victims were born into bondage. Today, traffickers prey on the vulnerabilities of those seeking a better life.
Yesterday, at President Lincoln's Cottage, the very place where he developed the Emancipation Proclamation, I joined a panel with three distinguished academics to discuss how our history must inform our struggle to fight modern slavery. President Lincoln's Cottage and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights co-sponsored the event as well as an anthology of essays by noted historians and experts regarding the Proclamation's meaning over time and its significance today. My contribution to the anthology highlights the lessons of emancipation in the fight against modern slavery, and reminds us of the costs if we fail to act.
As President Obama has called us to do, we "rededicate ourselves to stopping one of the greatest human rights abuses of our time." Every citizen can do his or her part. It starts with educating yourself and learning the red flags that may indicate human trafficking. It means being prepared to report tips on potential human trafficking activity to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-3737-888. It also means becoming a conscientious consumer by visiting Slavery Footprint to determine "How many slaves work for you?" and what you can do to reduce your slavery footprint. For more ideas, visit 20 Ways You Can Help Fight Human Trafficking and follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
As we move forward it will be important to look back at our own history, to its heroes and abolitionists, as an inspiration. Driven by the conviction that fighting slavery is part of who we are as a nation, we must continue on the long journey to freedom -- toward a world free from modern slavery.
Claudio A. in Italy writes:
slavery. a terms ancient and ever modern even if progress should have cancelled it by minds of all. this is not and is the reason af a war against modern slavery, substantially the same of origins also if with other vests.But not imply slavery to be afraid of other capacities, to be afraid of their implicit superiority and possibility the preminence of more may be vanidies and compromised? not signify that power they appalise is insussistent without arrogance? More of this is the base of those who posed on slavery. i declare my war against slavery, any form of slavery claudio alpaca
Venita B. in Texas writes:
We need President Obama to now issue the Modern Day Slavery Emancipation Proclamation. We are in a battle for liberty and equality for our children trapped in the sex trade and human trafficking. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation effective 1863 for all persons held as slaves in rebellious arears...but what about today's modern day slavery happening still, in America? President Obama must issue another Freedom Proclamation in current times, 2013, during the 150th. President Obama, I am asking you to issue the Freedom Proclamation for all slaves held in modern day slavery.

The Natural Step, an international non-profit dedicated to education, advisory work and research in sustainable development, has joined Global Footprint Network as a Partner. The Natural Step Framework provides a comprehensive, science-based definition of sustainability and links it to real world applications.
The Natural Step and Global Footprint Network have worked together informally for years and share many common assumptions, including the fact that nature, on its own, is a self-sustaining "recycling" system, and that organizations which will succeed in the long-term are those which can thrive within the limits of what the planet can renewably provide.
Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt, founder of the Natural Step, and Mathis Wackernagel, President of Global Footprint Network, have been teaming up to publish papers in academic journals since 1999. Both organizations view macro-level systems thinking and cross-sector collaboration as key tools for catalyzing the shift to a sustainable society, and they see an important role for research in supporting pragmatic decisions that drive real-world sustainability.
The Natural Step Framework, developed by Dr. Henrik-Robert, describes four "system conditions" that are minimum requirements for sustainability. Organizations can then evaluate the extent to which their current and future activities meet these system conditions. The Framework has led to the adoption of more sustainable practices in agriculture, forestry, energy production, green building and watershed management, as well as in manufacturing, hotel management, and other economic sectors.
Thinking in very poor comunities I would like to read mora about minimum requirements for sustainability. Because the people with who I work have nothing more that nature for survy.

Wilhelm Röpke is one of the most important 20th century economists that almost no Americans know anything about. Fortunately, that may soon change as Röpke's classic work on economics, A Humane Economy, is being republished by ISI Books with an introduction by Samuel Gregg, director of research at the Acton Institute.
Intercollegiate Review has posted an excerpt from Gregg's introduction:


text:
Creative destruction can be a painful thing, particularly when you're the one being destroyed. I've been-there done-that, and when things hit, I can't say that I cared too much about Joseph Schumpeter and his fancy ideas.
Alas, even when we have a firm understanding of the long-term social and economic benefits of such destruction — that whatever pain we're experiencing is for the "greater good" of humanity — we can't help but feel unappreciated, devalued, and cast aside. Our work is an expression of ourselves, something we offer to society and (hopefully) believe to be of considerable worth.
Thus, when we experience such rejection, it's only natural to react bitterly and become cynical, resentful, or fatalistic, allowing our attitudes and behaviors to correspond in turn. We're tempted to doubt ourselves or doubt others, to sit back or plod forward halfheartedly, to feel entitled, believing that our "service" deserves a place in the economic landscape, regardless of what the economic signals might say.
Yet amidst theese competing emotions, we mustn't forget that, in addition to concerns about productivity, efficiency, and economic progress, for the Christian, our work is ultimately service to others, and thus, to God. If someone has discovered new and better ways to meet our neighbors' needs, it should tell us that it's time to tweak our game and find new ways to contribute, as hard and uncomfortable as that may be. Our work is not a mere means to a paycheck, and neither are we mindless, powerless cogs in some grand machine, manufactured and predestined to spin mindlessly along only to be bypassed by the Next Big Thing and consigned to the city dump.
In her 1939 children's book, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, Virginia Lee Burton gets to the heart of all this, tapping into the deep and profound pain of creative destruction, while ultimately pointing the way forward — toward creativity, service, and authentic human flourishing. (more…)

The wonders of New Wallum
OK, everybody, all together: "It's the mostwonderful timeof the year!" (I love it when we sing together; it makes me tingly inside.) It's summer and time for the Much Anticipated Annual Weeds Vacation Edition.
Last year, we talked about vacationing in Sleepy Eye. It was mentioned that we have a water park and a lake. I tried not to brag that up too much, because, well, some cities don't have a water park and a lake. It's a sore spot with them. Even some cities that think they're sort of a big deal. Unbelievable as it sounds, some places that are county seats don't have a water park and a lake. It's kind of sad, really. I mean, you can live a perfectly good life in a place without a water park and a lake. But why would you?
This year, the Much Anticipated Annual Weeds Vacation Edition stays right here in Brown County. Whenever we have friends visiting, we like to spend a day in that quaint city found at the confluence of two great waterways. Yep, right there where the Ruheheim Creek and the Minnesota River flow together, it's that charmer of a place, New Wallum.
New Wallum is proud of its German heritage. They tell you that. Then they tell you again. You could say they wear their Germanness on their sleeves. It's sort of weird, really, all those people with little German flags taped to their sleeves.
There on the hillside, overlooking the Ruheheim Valley is that glorious symbol of Germanity, Bauer the Sauer. The giant copper statue honors the German folk hero, Bauer. Legend has it that Bauer accidentally ate some rotten cabbage and found it wasn't so bad. His discovery of sauerkraut saved the German people from famine. It is also said that Bauer had something to do with chasing the Romans out of Germany. But historians now believe the Romans simply got homesick for a good bowl of pasta.
Yessiree, German roots run deep in New Wallum. As a matter of fact, during World War I, there was some question as to the allegiance of the citizens. The City Council compromised and agreed that they would side with whoever was ahead. By World War II, the town was firmly behind America, and the Council agreed to back the Germans only it they won.
Way back, the original settlers of New Wallum were members of the Stern Society. The Sterners were grumpy, agnostic men living a spartan, disciplined lifestyle who hoped to create a utopian society. Then came their first Minnesota winter. And if you think you're going to survive that without faith in the God Almighty, you got another think a coming.
The original Sterners left. Thank goodness. But the Stern Society lives on in New Wallum. For years, they have offered gymnastics classes to the children in town. There, they learn skills they will use as adults in New Wallum: standing on one leg, walking a straight line, counting backwards, and the always-fun touching your fingertip to your nose.
The other legacy of the agnostic Sterners was that grand festival, Hereticfest. For years Hereticfest attracted happy-go-lucky heretics from Hither and Yon. There was even a bus from Yon. Hans Kung, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchins ? all the greats performed at Hereticfest. Then, there was always Amateur Night, when local heretics took the stage and argued things like "Catholics and Lutherans, you're not the boss of me!" and "Why can't I marry my cat?"
No Hereticfest was complete without those kings-of-fun, the Discord Singers. Every night at midnight, the Discord Singers were on the main stage leading the crowd in traditional German beer consumption songs. Dressed in lederhosen, arms locked, swaying back and forth, they hardly ever fell over.
The city of New Wallum has always taken pride in its festivals. The common element has been beer. Sometimes there are costumes, sometimes there is music, sometimes there is dancing. All the time, there is beer. When I was a kid, my folks took me to the old Waltz Days Parade. Livestock tanks filled with beer lined the sidewalks. I was eight and a couple years too young to drink. It was one helluva party. The next morning, no one could remember the parade, and there was a gawdawful mess to clean up. So Waltz Days was cancelled.
Since then, a number of festivals have come and gone. Berlin Wallfest was very German but only lasted a few years. Drunkfest was wildly popular, but was really a bit too descriptive. Bavariapaloozabacchanal is the current summer wingding.
There have been efforts to turn these perfectly good beer bashes into family affairs. Wet blankets have made it more difficult to drink to excess. Today you have to purchase coupons in one tent, go to another tent to learn a secret password. After that it is up a steep hill and over a moat filled with man-eating bullheads. It worked. Beer sales plummeted from 10 gallons per fester to 9.5 gallons. Sobriety is not exactly rampant, but the bullheads get a few every year.
The one constant through the years has been that tastiest of New Wallum traditions, Mel's Beer. Mel's Brewery is the nation's oldest brewery owned by a guy named Mel. Locals have been enjoying a glass of Mel's for almost as long as there's been a New Wallum. Mel's great grandfather Mel founded the brewery. He also built the stunning mansion that stands today amidst the German-style vegetable gardens.
It wasn't always easy for the brewery. Mel's grandfather Mel had to soldier the brewery through Prohibition. In those dark days, Mel's came out with a fermented sauerkraut juice that was actually 9 per cent alcohol. No federal revenuer would come near the place because of the stench. Then Mel's dad Mel guided the brewery through the years when Miller and Bud were taking over the beer world. New Wallumers weren't about to drink that thin gruel.
Today, Mel's Brewery is strong and looking to the future. Mel's two sons, Mel and Mell, have taken an interest in the family business. So hoist your glass of Mel's on high, and toast to New Wallum. "Ein Prosit, der Gemutlichkeit!" (There is no literal translation of that; it means something like "God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.")

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Great to run in Kew Gardens, but at a price!In full: Very nice run, well-marshalled. It was great to be able to start in Kew Gardens, and the course was all pleasant, despite a bit of mud by Ham Common. I often run down that way so was expecting the rough path, but it may have caught some people by surprise. The mile markers were rather lacking (or misleading). Not enough drinks stations - at 2, 6 & 11 miles, not enough - if you hadn't picked up a bottle of sports drink at the first or second station, you would have suffered. Expensive, too, especially as there are never any small tshirts left by the time I finish - why do they get so many big sizes? Runners generally aren't massively fat. A very nice race, though, and I'd do it again next year.Date of review: September 25, 2013
In short: Well-marshalled country course, good funIn full: Interesting and varied route, lots of ups & a few downs, but this year very boggy in places - kept my spirits up by thinking how lovely it must be in the spring (but not this Easter!). Good marshalling, very encouraging. A water station en route (although they said there wasn't in the info). Next year might do the West Wight Three Hills instead - too tired to do both this year, in the dreadful windy conditions. Nice memento bag.Date of review: April 9, 2013
In short: Lovely autumn colours, but a bit too much wading for a PBIn full: Incredibly wet, rivers of water streaming down the road, vast puddles and floods of water to wade through (or queue to scramble by the hedge for those of us at the back). Lovely scenery and autumn colours took my mind off the steep hills. Excellent cheery marshalls supported us all the way round. Sufficient water stations. Great to have finish time texted afterwards. All in all, a lovely challenging race that I would be very happy to do again. Date of review: November 15, 2012
