text: 2015 Awardee: Maria Romina Girotti The ECCO/EJC Young Investigator's Award is open to young basic scientists and clinical oncologists of all disciplines relevant to cancer research. The Award will be given to a young scientist or doctor in the field of basic, translational or clinical oncology research for recent original work in cancer research, treatment or care. Maria Romina Girotti obtained her B.Sc. in Biochemistry in Argentina in 2004. In 2010, she completed her Ph.D. at the Leloir Institute – University of Buenos Aires, where her research was focused on the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of the extracellular matrix protein SPARC in melanoma progression. In 2011 she joined as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow the Signal Transduction Team at The Institute of Cancer Research in London and in 2012 the Molecular Oncology Group at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute. During her postdoc Romina specialized in translational medicine in melanoma. Under the mentorship of Prof. Richard Marais, Dr Girotti achieved an outstanding track record of publications in high impact factor journals (Cell, Cancer Cell, Cancer Discovery, Nature, Nature Medicine, Nature Communications, Science Signaling, among others). Her work has provided crucial insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying resistance to targeted therapies in melanoma (Girotti et al, Cancer Discovery 2013; Hirata et al, Cancer Cell 2015) and developing new therapeutics to treat resistant patients in collaboration with the Institute of Cancer Research (Girotti et al, Cancer Cell 2015). As a result of this research a Phase-I clinical trial started in April 2015 at the Royal Marsden Hospital and at The Christie Hospital in the UK. Dr. Girotti continues working in melanoma establishing new tools for personalized medicine in melanoma patients. Previous recipients of the ECCO/EJC Young Investigator's Award: 2013: Thomas R.

Not much had changed from my last visit and we set off straight away to explore Chateau Fontainebleau. It has beautiful gardens, everything is always so meticulous and precise in french gardens. The Chateau is as beautiful as I remember it however today it actually seems bigger. Or perhaps that just could be from carrying around a toddler the place, after he assured us that he was walking no matter what. At one stage he even lay himself on the ground, stylish french ground that it was, and refused to get up.
The inside was grand also with similar designs to those that we saw at Chateau Blois
A walk through the gardens before finding a gorgeous little place to eat opposite the Chateau. Fantastic food and exceptional service, we were completely satsfied. WIth full bellies we moved on to the challenge of getting to, and then driving in, Paris. Our excitement (and nerves) grew as we got closer. Then I spotted the Eiffel Tower and I was squealing worse than Scott on kite day. Team work got us safely to our hotel which is less than 100 metres from the Eiffel Tower, and I must take credit for finding it!
With the car parked up safely and our luggage in the room, it was off to explore. I have been to Paris a number of times now and the city never ceases to excite and amaze me. I definitely could live here if I needed to. A walk to the Eiffel Tower first, seeing as it literally is at our front door. Even Master X was in awe of the tower but his attention soon diverted to the horses which were drawing carriages past the tower.
A trip across the road to the Trocadero and we sat in the same spot we watched the Eiffel Tower 3 years ago whilst on our honeymoon, just for old times sake
We couldn't go past the merry-go-round as Master X had his heart set on riding in a fire engine. And so it was done. We gazed down the River Seine and eventually walked back to the hotel where we ate a beautiful meal in the restaurant. Then it was time to grab our jackets and head back for the 8pm shimmering lights show. However we are in summer, and unlike Scotland, France actually does have a summer, and therefore it was still light at 8pm so no lights on the tower.
Eventually the lights on the Eiffel Tower came on and the sun slowly set behind it. Master X ran around the grassy area and couples sighed as they gazed up to the illuminated tower. At 9pm we all watched in awe as the shimmering lights glistened the tower. Even Master X was stopped in his tracks. We could watch this every night of our lives it is so beautiful. The last time we were here the tower was actually lit up blue to mark the celebration of the President of the EU being french. This time it is back to its original colour and it is as captivating as ever.
There was a large police and military presence surrounding the tower. We noticed that there was also a motorcade with some bishops maybe (perhaps even the pope) taking pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower. The street vendors were out trying to sell various Eiffel Tower knick knacks but we weren't to be persuaded. Time for bed for those young and old in our little group, whilst the hearty beast catches up on the blog!

School Library Journal - School Library JournalGr 4-6These series titles reveal the original story lines in simple, succinct language on the 18 even-numbered pages. Annotations, asides, and full-color photographs and illustrations appear on odd-numbered pages. Parker begins with a ``letter'' from Victor Frankenstein to readers to establish the fact that he, and not the monster, is named ``Frankenstein,'' and includes legends and scientific knowledge of Mary Shelley's time that may have influenced elements incorporated into her tale. Sidebars also discuss modern medical science in the areas of bionics and robotics. In Dracula, supplemental material includes the exploits of the real Dracula (Vlad the Impaler), and of the ``real-life female vampire'' Elizabeth Bathory, who bathed in the blood of her victims in order to make her skin more beautiful. Bloodsucking insects and animals; legendary vampires from Europe, Malaysia, and Japan; and true facts about the habits of bats; plus mention of some of famous movie vampires through 1992 provide macabre entertainment if not insight into Bram Stoker's mind. Both titles end with a one-page glossary of terms and a one-page index, but there are no bibliographies or filmographies. Engaging introductions to these classics of horror literature.Ann G.

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. (AP) Oracle (ORCL) said Thursday its fiscal first-quarter profit jumped 28%, beating Wall Street's expectations, as software sales stayed steady despite turmoil in the U.S. economy.
The business software maker's net income for the three months ended Aug. 31 rose to $1.08 billion, or 21 cents a share, from $840 million, or 16 cents a share, a year ago.
Excluding expenses for employee stock options and acquisitions, Oracle posted earnings of 29 cents a share, two cents better than analysts had expected, according to a Thomson Reuters poll.
Revenue increased 18% to $5.33 billion.
New software license sales, a measure closely watched by investors, increased 14%, within the 10% to 20% range Oracle had predicted. The Redwood Shores, California-based company said changes in foreign exchange rates accounted for 4 percentage points of the increase, less than the 5 percentage points it had originally expected.
Revenue from software license updates and product support increased 23% to $2.94 billion.
The report appeared to satisfy investors who had feared the weakened economy would dampen demand for the business software maker's products.
Shares of Oracle gained 47 cents, or 2.5%, to $19.22 in after-hours trading.

Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund Shuns Stocks on Reversal BetMikael Holter
Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, warned that stock-market gains may reverse as Europe's biggest equity investor said it won't use new inflows to buy more shares.
"Our share in the stock market has been stable or falling even though markets are rising, and that means in practice that we're not using inflows to buy stocks," Yngve Slyngstad, chief executive officer of Norges Bank Investment Management, said at a press conference today in Oslo. The fund is preparing for a "correction" in stock prices, he said.
The warning follows a surge in stock values that added 7.6 percent to the fund's equity portfolio last quarter. The $810 billion Government Pension Fund Global, the official name, returned 5 percent in the third quarter, representing a 228 billion kroner ($39 billion) gain, it said today. Bond investments climbed 0.3 percent and real estate holdings returned 4.1 percent, it said.
The fund has no immediate pension obligations and uses its long-term outlook to buy assets when others have to sell. After losing a record 633 billion kroner following the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and ensuing global market slump, the fund raised its equity holdings by about 136 billion kroner in early 2009. In the second half of 2011, the fund bought more than 150 billion kroner in stocks as part of a strategy to invest in depressed assets.
Positive Signs
"In general, we see market corrections more as opportunities than as threats, so it's not something that worries us," Slyngstad said today in an interview. "If they come, that's just a positive sign for us as an investor."
Stocks rallied in the third quarter as the U.S. Federal Reserve unexpectedly refrained from ending its $85 billion-a-month quantitative easing program in September. Growth forecasts for China, the world's second-biggest economy, also improved, propelling equities globally. The MSCI World Index of stocks gained 7.7 percent in the quarter, paring some gains late last month during the U.S. government shutdown.
The advance has pushed valuations for European shares to the most expensive level since the end of 2009. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index trades at 20.8 times reported operating profit, double the level from September 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Holding Cash
Norway's wealth fund, which gets its guidelines from the government, held 63.6 percent in stocks at the end of September, up from 63.4 percent in the second quarter. Bond holdings slid to 35.5 percent from 35.7 percent while real estate accounted for 0.9 percent. The fund is mandated to hold 60 percent in stocks, 35 percent in bonds and is building up to 5 percent in real estate, while allowing for fluctuations. It mostly follows global indexes and has some leeway to stray from those benchmarks.
"If you're not buying equities these days, we're buying bonds or just hold this as cash," Slyngstad said. "We would of course like to invest more of it in the real estate market but that takes longer. As long as there are strong markets we don't see any urge to increase our equity holdings."
The investor, which posted its second-best year in 2012, is also undergoing a shift in strategy to capture more global growth. That's involved moving investments away from Europe as emerging markets in Asia and South American make up a bigger share of the world economy. The fund has weighted its bond portfolio according to gross domestic product, after shifting away from a market weighting to avoid nations with growing debt burdens.
Largest Holdings
Its largest stock holding at the end of the quarter was Nestle SA, at a value of 38.5 billion kroner. The biggest bond holding was in U.S. Treasuries, at a value of 344 billion kroner, followed by Japanese and German government bonds.
"We consider U.S. Treasuries one of the safest investments you can do, and these last few weeks have not changed that view in any way," Slyngstad said in the interview, referring to the first partial government shutdown in 17 years.
Mexico rose to fifth place in the fund's bond holdings, while Brazil and South Korea joined the top 10, at the expense of France and Canada.
The fund will take "the time needed" to increase real estate investments to reach the target of 5 percent of total holdings, making bigger investments increasingly on its own rather than in partnerships, Slyngstad said. An initial ambition to reach the target in five years from its first real estate investment in 2010 may not be realized, he said.
Splitting Fund
Norway generates money for the fund from taxes on oil and gas, ownership of petroleum fields and dividends from its 67 percent stake in Statoil ASA, the country's largest energy company. Norway is western Europe's largest oil and gas producer. The fund, which had an average holding of 1.2 percent of the world's listed companies at the end of 2012, invests abroad to avoid stoking domestic inflation.
Prime Minister Erna Solberg, whose government took power this month, said before the election she would consider splitting the fund into smaller units.
The government deposited 58 billion kroner of petroleum revenue into the fund in the quarter. The return beat the benchmark set by the Finance Ministry by 0.1 percentage point.
The investor got its first capital infusion in 1996 and has been taking on more risk as it expands globally. It first added stocks in 1998, emerging markets in 2000 and real estate in 2011 to boost returns and safeguard wealth.

I am surprised this paper has been going as long as it has its a complete lads paper full of topless girls barely old enough and not actually a lot of sport content my husband looks at this paper and looking at it to see why it's easy to see why .... The tits pure and simple he does not and never has watched followed supported or played sports and the stories are fabricated only leaves one more reason which may I add is about 90% of the whole paper u call urself Daily Sport? So why is it only about 4 pages of sport then?
'Elvis statue found on Mars.' Oh, the very stuff of legend! Eat your heart out, the Sun. 'Zip me up before you go go'?; 'Freddie Star ate my hamster'? Piffle! Amateurish! The Sunday Sport may be seen as a risible alternative to sane newspapers, but how may of us (me excluded, naturally, lol) sneak a peek at its more outlandish claims when we think no - one is looking?
Our local newspaper shop always turns the thing so that the back page is turned to the front, so I turn it back again seeing as this form of mealy - mouthed censorship doesn't seemingy apply to Nuts! or Zoo! in there. Sheer hypocrisy!
This publication apparentlly operates on the tongue - in - cheek (or, tongue - in - somewhere) principle, and the editor Tony Livesey always seems to have a school boy smirk hovering around the corners of his gob whenever I've seen him on the telly.
Yes, I know, it's porno dressed up as a primarily sports - oriented publication, but in these permissive, recession - fuelled times many folk may see it as a bit of fun, or light relief from economic misery, and not to be taken too seriously.
Without labouring the point, the paper is packed full of salacious titillating nonsense and 'contact' magazine information, sleazy politican, footie star and celeb exposes, and is liberally laced with all sorts of lubricious come - hither stuff designed to set fire to your loins and get those 'creative juices' flowing, alongside a bursting bevvy of busty, bumptious and bare bummed beauties. Oh, and it has sporty stuff at the back, too. Each to his own, but one can only wonder what the late, and arguably unlamented Mrs. Whitehouse would make of it all. Not that it matters much - publications like the Sport seem to thrive on notoriety, anyway.
I have never actually purchased the Sunday Sport, but I once had the misfortune to read it when I found a copy in my taxi that a customer had left behind them.
As I don't hold with pornography then I don't think this newspaper (and I use the term loosely!) would ever tempt me to part with any of my hard earned money. It's packed to the gills with pictures of semi-naked ladies. (I use the term loosely!) They must employ a good editor who is highly familiar with the indecency laws to make sure they never get prosecuted. But there again, these days almost anything goes.
Some of the footy articles were passable, but what I fail to understand is why any journalist worth a damn would *EVER* degrade themselves so far as to actually write for this rag.
Some of the feature articles entered the realms of pure fantasy, and were actually quite amusing. Or should I say they would have been if it wasn't for the fact that there are actually some people in this world who buy this tripe and believe the garbage they peddle.
I don't know how much this paper costs, and am never of a mind to find out, but whatever its price it's too much. I personally wouldn't use it to light the fire as I'd be afraid it would pollute the coal!
© KenJ December 2007
I think both the Daily and Sunday Sport are great newspapers (although on Sunday it's a bit pricey). You can be as condescending as you like about it if it makes you feel better but I think they are brilliant.
There's a great mix of news and pictures and I'm actually interested by the articles and features. The only thing is there are a few too many adverts which can at times be a bit tedious and they are obviously ripping you off.
It's also very witty and the articles are factual and relevant.
Anyway I think they are some of the best newspapers out there and my boyfriend and I buy it most days. I also don't underestand this thing about it only being for single men. I'm a woman and I enjoy it and also my children often read it.
The sport why do they bother? The news is well not worth seriously reading, and the tits are not even worth seriously looking at. Yes its comical but it doesn't quite cut it because it is meant to be a newspaper. So who is this paper aimed at, maybe men that feel embarrassed to go into a newsagent to buy this months copy of playboy. Or is it intended for people who like bedtime one handed sports that have little intelligence to read, and just prefer to look at pretty pictures. I thought the Sun & the Mirror were papers for the mass intellectually challenged, but the Sport aims for the protoplasm of society i.e. their depth of perspective of life is of singular dimensionality well sport and tits I suppose that's 2 dimensions. All newspapers in about just as much detail probably cover the sport in the The Sport. This begs the question in the first place why it was ever called that. When your paper relies on sex to sell it has to do it with quality sexually attractive models and I wouldn't touch them with yours.
Ever since I've been with my fella, He's always rushed off to the shop on a Sunday morning to buy The Sunday Sport, and that's not all, he arrives home every day from work with his flask, his lunch box and the Dairy Sport folded neatly under his arm. To be honest I think it keeps him sane, or his he just a pathetic male that likes to read outrageous stories and look at naked women during his lunch breaks. I must admit I sometimes browse through it to see what wild stories they have printed for the day. (Maybe the queen has been video taped using the rampant rabbit vibrater and they have it plastered on the middle page. Well not to everyone's taste but I defiantly get some smiles whilst reading some of the stories the paper includes in it. So a bit about the layout. It always has an eye-catching title on the front-page e.g. Cilla Black topless inside. Or a story about a footballer whose having sex with a page three girl. The second page is usually about politics or the royal family. (Usually something untrue and bizarre but can be quite amusing depending on your mood). The third page well I think it must be tradition now for The Sport to find cracking babe to make the lads drool. The paper will then chose selected pages to embarrass stars such as Her, say. (Myleene stunner confesses to wanting a threesome with Kim and Suzanne. The paper will almost defiantly treat you on an update of what's going on in the big brother house, or will have digged out a very embarrassing photo's of your past to splash all over the page. Tony Blair is usually in it somewhere with an artical a side him with numerous complains and swear words. Jordan the sexy babe whose sex life is a bit exciting to say the least always seems to be in the somewhere, flashing her boobs. "Jordan - who loves anal sex, enjoyed a three-in a bed session with the Sport girl Alicia Duvall and Dwight York. Alicia dated Dwight bef
ore he met Jordan (fascinating stuff this). The paper is jam backed full of advertisements on anything from " bored house wives wanting to have sex with you over the phone", to Mobile Phones to D.N.A Paternity testing even some kinds of diet pills. It gives you (I must say) an excellent choice ring tones and phone slogans, anything from Playboy to X Men. There is an Agony Aunt section - this is one of my favourite pages it is totally stupid most of the time. It's usually about sad people e.g. "I can't get my hands on enough boobs. They must be about 37 inches before I will ask a girl out. He then goes on to say " I m really worried is there something wrong with me"(well I'm not going into that one). You'll find the odd crossword that is not to bad there is only a few solutions such as strip and boob. It's got loads of pages on sex videos and few at the back on sport. Oh and my favourite page of all are the, At The Courts. These stories are really interesting some include serious stuff but most just go on about women having sex and men being caught shagging cows while on there way home from the pub. Great for a laugh, enjoyable to read, but I'm still wondering if anything in it his actually true.
For a newspaper with a relatively tiny circulation the Sport is quite a well-known publication. I cannot say it is also well respected, as even in Fleet Street it is looked down upon (which is saying something). However the Sport can claim to have had the most…colourful history of all British newspapers in circulation today. The Sunday Sport was launched on September 14 1986 by David Sullivan, who had made his millions in the British soft porn industry. Within less than two years a Wednesday edition was launched, and by October 1991 the Sport had become a daily newspaper. Though its title suggested a newspaper dedicated predominantly to sporting news, the Sport in fact offered a similar amount of news and features to other tabloid newspapers. But there was one major difference. In its early days the Sport's agenda was to take tabloid sensationalism to its logical - or rather illogical – conclusion. It had long been accepted that tabloid journalists bent and twisted the facts to make them more interesting to readers. So the Sport went one step further and dispensed with the facts altogether. In practice this amounted to quite stunningly ludicrous and bizarre stories filling up each edition. A famous example is "WORLD WAR TWO BOMBER FOUND IN SPACE", a worldwide exclusive claiming that NASA was planning a secret mission to tow the bomber back to Earth. For good measure the piece even had a photograph depicting the plane lodged on the surface of the Moon. These stories generally concerned aliens eating family pets, people sharing beds with farm animals, or any number of sightings of Elvis, who was spotted at various times shopping at a supermarket, living as a woman, and even once trying to get Rick Astley's autograph. One of my most treasured possessions is my 'Best of the Sunday Sport' book, which features many of these classic exclusives. To give you even more of an idea of what the paper was
about (and hoping you'll forgive my indulgence) here are my top five: 5: "MUM GIVES BIRTH TO 8lb TROUT" – "Now doctors aren't sure if it will need an aquarium or a cot." 4: "GREENFLY ATE MY LOVER!" This story was sub-headed "HEARTLESS INSECTS PUT END TO MIXED-SALAD MARRIAGE" 3: "LORD LUCAN SPOTTED ON MISSING SHERGAR" In this piece we learnt that the fugitive nobleman Lord Lucan was alive and well and galloping through Scottish glens on kidnapped racehorse Shergar. 2: "LOVESICK GARDENER MARRIES LETTUCE" "It's the vegetable or me!" girlfriend Jackie had warned. 1: "BUS FOUND BURIED AT SOUTH POLE" Perhaps the ultimate Sunday Sport exclusive, this reported that the 109 from Croydon bus station had been hijacked by a green alien in 1961 and taken to the Antarctic (and of course the paper had a photo to prove it). Follow-up stories even detailed eyewitness accounts from passengers. "The whole journey is a complete blank," said mature student John La Trobe, "but I do remember the penguins." In addition to the absurd news items, the Sport let its air of pure silliness spill over to other features, to the degree that almost nothing in it could be taken even remotely seriously. The editorials would be tongue-in-cheek, the financial news would be imagined, and the agony aunt would get to deal with problems like, "I asked my boyfriend what it was like to be gobsmacked, and he hit me." Then suddenly the fantastical news items and surreally over-obvious humour began to disappear from the paper. In contrast the amount of sex-related content shot up. Suddenly adverts appeared for expensive 0898 numbers with titles like "I'm Sally – Spank me!" There were topless models on at least every other page (hence the fabled "nipple count",a
nd a thousand office sweepstakes). The silly headlines became replaced with simply lurid ones. Out went giant sprouts from outer space; in came top soap stars in saucy sex romps. Though authenticity and accurate journalism remained strictly no-go areas, the tone had changed with humour now playing second fiddle to titillation. In recent years the rise of the Internet and the greater use of colour photography has reinforced the new approach, with hardly a day going by without faked topless pictures of Britney Spears or various Spice Girls. The Sport's formula is now a predictable mix of numerous topless women, enormous adverts, plugs for their own website, and regular listings for massage and escort services. Regular columnists in recent times have included boxing promoter Frank Maloney ("There ain't no baloney with Mister Maloney") and Happy Mondays/Black Grape singer Shaun Ryder (a quite phenomenally bad writer). Other regular items include a photo caption competition invariably involving farm animals having sex, a kind of word puzzle in which all the answers are printed alongside for you to fill in (I kid you not), and a weekly feature - 'Boobs on the Box' - detailing the exact timing of all sex and nudity on terrestrial television in the coming week (e.g. "look out for a glimpse of Susan Sarandon's left knocker on 52 minutes"). Purely in terms of value for money it's poor, even at 35p, since if you took out all the pictures and adverts you'd be left with about a page and a half of reading matter. Although stocked by most newsagents, it remains one of the very poorest selling national newspapers, even the more popular Sunday edition being lucky to sell more than 200,000 copies (The News Of The World sells about 4 million). An accusation often levelled at the Sport since its launch to the present day is that it is not a newspaper. Though this charge is essentially undeniab
le, I would suggest that it is rather like angrily declaring that Arnold Schwarzenegger is not an actor, and just as no one really believes that Arnie is annually robbed at Oscar time, no one (at least no one with an ounce of intelligence) really buys the Sport expecting in-depth coverage of current affairs. Next time you visit the newsagents, glance at the cover of the Sport and tell me you'd genuinely expect it to contain a word of proper news. In truth you get the strong feeling that real news is an inconvenience to Sport writers, and they only grudgingly cover it at all. After all, where's the sex and scandal in foot and mouth disease? The other chief criticism of the Sport is that it is basically pornography. Pornography and its role for better or worse in society is a separate issue, but the Sport would only be on the periphery of such a debate anyway because to call it porn is probably a slur on the porn industry as a whole. The cheap paper and dull sets and clumsy poses that constitute the Sport's "glamour" pages are scarcely consistent with the pornographer's avowed aim to excite and arouse. Some people might argue that dreary, mundane pornography is the most damaging of all, but the total lack of variety, imagination, and ambiguity in the Sport's format make it a rather pitiful candidate for great peril to the nation. If it is porn at all, it's c**p porn. Failing miserably as both a newspaper and a smutty magazine, it is a mystery that the Sport remains in circulation at all. Since its golden days of alien and Elvis stories, the paper seems to have completely given up on any pretence of novelty or creativity, and it might well be the only daily publication in the world that is almost indistinguishable from one day/week/year to the next. In fact the Sport's one true virtue might well be its unreconstructed awfulness. Just as contemporary scholars puzzle over mankind's g
reat follies in ages past, the Sport - like Hear'Say and the Millennium Dome - may yet offer the historians of the future some deep insight into how horribly confused and misguided humanity had become around the turn of the twenty-first century. Though I always regret it within minutes, I still buy the Sport every few months or so, simply because I can't help feeling that there will one day be museums with copies of it on public display, no doubt providing endless amusement for parties of incredulous schoolchildren. And perhaps by then someone will have dragged that 109 bus back to Croydon.
The Daily / Sunday Sport cannot be seen as a newspaper. If you are unfamilular with the publication, it is not a sports review newspaper, although there is some sport coverage in it. No, the Daily / Sunday Sport is little more than a pornographic magazine but on different paper. Riddled with filth and should be banned. It is legal for children to buy this as it is classed as a newspaper but you have to be 18 to buy a pornographic magazine. What news content there is cannot bebeleived and considering the highly sexual content (they try and work sex into everything), it should be reclassified. Or banned.
The final embodiment of all things evil (no, wait, that was Maggie Thatcher). The final embodiment of how newspapers have plummeted into the gutter. I hate this newspaper more than I hate any other newspaper, and I do hate other newspapers. This just about sums up the general mentality of newspapers, when the battle to win any sort of circulation war reduces them to providing a soft porn, intellectually insulting, tacky, tasteless, drivelling, conjecturing piece of paper not fit to hang in Alf Garnett's lavatory. I'll admit I bought one when it first came out because I didn't believe it was as bad as others were saying. Not for the first time in my life I was wrong. Count The Nipples??? What's wrong with a good old-fashioned crossword? I slipped up again when they professed to having pictures of Hitler dressed as a woman. I immediately hated myself for this as they hadn't even done a decent job faking the photos and I'd just stamped MUG on my forehead. I don't have to be hit over the head more than twice to know when something's best left alone. My deeply held suspicions were confirmed when I watched a tv programme where the owner, David Sullivan took on the job of one of his reporters. I wanted to see just how they set the low standards they consistently fail to achieve. Mr Sullivan went everywhere with all his precious work goodies in a plastic carrier bag. I had rather hoped that he would used a leopard print briefcase, but I suppose that was asking too much. He was sent out to meet a young woman called Emma who had bedded a celebrity sportsman and wanted to sell her story. Juggling the plastic bag and writing at the same time was clearly difficult for him, and the girl looked bemused by his polite questions. The editor, Tony, wasn't pleased with the extraordinarily brief account and asked for a re-write with much more juicy detail, which if I recal
l correctly, was done by his female colleague. And poor overworked, over-punned Tony had worse things to contend with. For example: A woman with the most frighteningly enormous breasts (can't remember the size, but they're about this big <holding up two buckets>) had been booked to fly from America for a photo shoot and interview. Listening to the predictable sexist comments, the blokes in the room were morphing into school boys dressed in big men's clothes, although David Sullivan didn't have to do too much morphing considering his already diminutive stature - students of the Napolean Complex please gather round for the next debate. Sadly for them, the tottering woman wasn't given clearance to fly (I'd like to say she was interfering with radar, but I don't want to add to the sexist comments, it was health related) and The Sport found itself with a couple of rather large spaces to be filled at the last moment. So for those wondering where the "Double Decker Bus On The Moon" ideas come from and why... Possibly the moment all 10 coffin lid nails were banged in simultaneously was when they revealed their next circulation grabbing idea to be something along the lines of Blind Date but actually Blind Shag. Having asked for applicants for the job, only one young, blonde suspiciously beatuiful woman applied and few blokes. One decidedly average chap was selected for the task and they were taken to a hotel for their couples of hours of simply sensational steamy sweaty sex. Both were briefed - before being debriefed <rimshot/cymbal> 'I thank you' - taken with bags over their head to the room, revealed to each other and shoved in, clutching condoms, with macho shouts of "Goooo Onnnnn" etc etc. I remember the chap had Y-fronts and his socks on. No change there then. About half an hour later the young woman appears clutching her blouse together, half dressed, and set
tles down with the surprised reporters for the agreed after-sex interview. Glowing and giggling she answers their questions and ratings before finally laughingly confessing that he hadn't actually been able to rise to the occasion and she'd agreed to lie about it. The man emerges smoking a cigarette, saying things like how "they went like the clappers... she was mad for it... insatiable... really good..." Can't remember what their prize was for this, but whatever it was wouldn't have made up for the guy's humiliation months later when sitting round the tv set with his mates. Not a news story is left unturned. They're all turned into pun-awful trivia. The only aspect they're interested in is the sleazy or perverse one, and no amount of "Check it out, mate" being bandied about was going to persuade me otherwise. I mean, anyone who is sent out to report on the story of a child reincarnated as a fish finger (honestly, I swear, a fish finger) cannot be taking the game of being a NEWSpaper seriously. A Comic by all means, but not a NEWSpaper. One step up from Viz, but not as clever.
"I was abducted by a Spaceship and Alien doctors probed me and enlarged my boobs" – said 19 year old blonde model Maria (36HH) from Hunstanton. This and other wholly unbelievable 'stories' are the kind of 'tat' can be found within the pages of the infamous Daily Sport. Just about anything to do with Sex, Soaps, Cel;ebrities – some of it is even true….not much I grant you. They will put a certain 'spin' on any kind of story. You'll see headlines like "Coronation Street star in drugs bust" or "Soccer star in gang bang sex scandal". But until you read the story what you don't realise is that the Corrie 'star' is some little known actor who had a walk-on part in the soap five years ago – and the drugs bust happened at a nightclub that he goes to occasionally and didn't concern him anyway! Oh yes that 'Soccer star' – the lookalike of as Premiership foreign import that appeared in a third rate porn movie in 1998. Yes, THAT 'Sex scandal' ! Nasty rumours abound that ONCE – the Sports did actually carry a NEWS Story – but these allegations are as yet unproven. The 'Sport' now over 10 years old and was founded on the 'Sun' principle 'Sex Sells Papers', but they just went completely 'over the top'. A passable Sports coverage used to be embellished by a photograph on the sport page each day of a topless babe wearing (just) the kit of a Football League team. 'See Jane get your team's kit on and then …get it off !" What more could Sports fans want? The pages of the paper have always been liberally laced with Girls of all shapes and sizes (and some of those SIZES !!) in various stares of undress – but with the emphasis firmly (oh yes Very FIRM some of them) on 'getting their t**s out
for the boys'. No political correctness here. Chauvinist in the Extreme and loving it too. But it is a formula that has worked. While other newspapers, have cut back on their flesh content - the 'Sport' carries a 'boob count' each day (invariably over the 30 plus mark.) And while many other Newspapers (does the Sport count as a 'news' paper ?) have struggled with falling circulation, resorted to offering enormous Prizes etc or even folded like Today (remember those famous 3D Colour images) – the 'Sport' just continues to titillate it's 'readers' and turn in a profit. It is to journalism what Prince Naseem Hamed is to Modesty. People may 'slag off' the Sun and the Daily Star for their somewhat 'trashy' appearance – but hold on, have they ever read the Sport. OK So no one really READS the Sport. But it has taken 'trashy and tacky' to new levels. I must confess that I have passed the time browsing through the pages of this paper. Amazed at the rubbish contained within, but obviously (being a man AND a photographer) impressed by the photography!! But after a while it all rather wanes – the models are often 'surgically enhanced' (sometimes horrifically so) and so caked with make up to make them appear as unreal. Even the so-called 'real housewives' or 'first timers' that appear at regular intervals and through different promotions are no more 'real' that the rest. 'Reader Jenny rang us to say she'd love to appear in the 'Sport' and give the boys a thrill' – oh yes, but we only paid her £200. It is all pretty harmless innovensive, extremely low brow stuff. Appealing to the same male hormones that gave the 'Sun' such a boost throughout the 80s and have launched no end of 'lad-mags' like 'Front̵
7; and 'Loaded' in the past couple of years. Ultimately, The 'Sport' reminds me of a few years ago when a friend I know would get absolutely worked up at the thought of going on holiday abroad and seeing loads of girls topless by the pool or beach. Day one that is - Day two, still good, Day three more selective, Day four a bit blase, by Day five you virtually ignore it (them!). The 'Sport' is the same - good novelty value at first, but after a few days of looking at yet more photos of painted 'models' with falsely enlarged frontages - you feel like you want something...err a little better. You do one of two things - buy a colour soft porn magazine - or buy a proper NEWSpaper! The choice is yours....
The Daily Sport isn't really a newspaper, its more of a comic – but not an adults comic as the title of one opinion said. I don't know if this is true but when I did a paper round (a job which lasted a mere month) I was told by the newsagent that more under14's bought the paper than anyone else!! This was mainly due to there being no age limit on the paper. Adults would generally buy top shelf magazines. However this might not be true everywhere as only around 6 or 7 Daily Sports were sold per day. The Daily Sport has very little sport in it, mainly boobs and adverts for chat lines that cost £3 per minute. There is 1 page of sport, however it is generally written in note form. At 35p the Daily Sport is quite frankly a rip-off. Over half the newspaper is adverts. Have I ever bought the Daily Sport I hear you cry. Yes, not once not twice but 3 times! Not for myself though but for my mate who's too embarrassed to go in the shop. He gave me a quid tip though, and I told the woman in the shop that it was the kid outside I was buying it for!! Overall the Daily Sport isn't anything special just a cheap, tacky and smutty paper, that might crack a few laughs. Worth paying 35p for? Na! Well actually maybe the letters to the agony aunt are hilarious!
The Sport is well known for it's kinky girls (i don't think so) and hilarious headlines, but im actually quite surprised it's still going as, it is, quite frankly, naff! Quite frankly, the Sun is much better. The first reason for this is because it is a better read, to put it simply. It has "real" news and "real" gossip, but to be fair, it can be a bit on the wild side and make the stories up, but at least they're believable. The Sports most famous headline "Hitler's bones found on Brighton beach" just goes to show how much of a joke this paper really is. The second reason is that the Sun paper is printed better and on better paper. You can actually see the models, ahem well yes, need i go further?.. and it feels better to read through as well. The Sunday Sport seems to have more 0895 numbers and xxx hotlines than the actual "headlines". Maybe some people need to get out more and see the real world, because some people must enjoy reading it, otherwise it should have gone out of buisness years ago. I was talking to a mate the other day, and he said that the express was being taken over by the Sport manager!! I didn't believe him at first, but when i got home, i found a pile of vouchers saying "Mail for a penny" and thought thats weird! I read on and realised that what my mate had been saying was true and the mail was making the most out of it, saying that the express was being run by a pornographer and it wasn't morally correct.(!?) What has happened to people these day's? Are we all mad or do we just like a bit of Rumpty tumpty with a newspaper?
Like every other reviewer in this section I don't buy The Sport-it's amazing why they print it really!.I'm no prude and read the Sun on a daily basis but I would'nt buy this simply because it's poor quality and definetly dos'nt do what it says on the tin. The paper is well known for it's funny headlines "Double decker bus found on the moon"that sort of thing.The problem though is there's no substance and the headline is the whole joke,why buy when you can read in two seconds!. The other main selling point is the racey content.Again this is poorly done with bored girls bearing their chests like they're doing the hoovering.The same pictures and models are endlessly recycled with Lindsay Dawn Mckenzie covering at least two pages each issue-well she is a big girl!. The print quality is poor and the colour makes the girls look like they're sunburnt!.This along with the inky paper means only the most kinky pervert would find satisfaction in it's flimsy page count. They're celebrity exclusives are also shamelessly rehashed with the same snaps of Madonna and Ginger Spice trotted out on a bi-weekly basis.The rest of the content is taken up with reams of 0898 adverts and "red hot" videos. It is a wonder how in the age of the internet and dedicated topshelf mags that this dinosaur still lumbers on.I think they survive on schoolboys and people who convince themselves that the sport coverage is worth the 60p alone. Not reccommended on any level whatsoever,except maybe"c***py paper"!.
I like this I think it is really good and it is a very good idea. I use it all the time and I think that you should get it too. I like this because it works really well, and if you get it you would use it all the time too. I really think that you should go out and buy this now, because you will not know what you are missing unless you buy this. So get off your chair go to the shops and buy it now.
This paper if it can be called that should be taken off general sale, it is disgusting, how can any paper which rates its content by a nipple count possibly be called a newspaper. There is not one scrap of real news in the paper, it is all sleaze, smut and advertising for sex products and related services. I would have to rate the paper as pure filth, nothing but naked women and vibrators and sex videos. It should be on the top shelf if it is anywhere in a shop.

English soccer player Joey Barton is known for being among the roughest, some say dirtiest , players in the beautiful game. But Barton may have turned over a new leaf with his current club Marseille as he showed a considerably lighter side during a press conference after his first league game over the weekend.
Barton showed some of the characteristic dry English humor as he gave the press conference in a French accent that caused a sensation over the Internet as video of the presser went viral.
Reaction to the prank has been mixed, with some taking the faux accent as insulting while others think it genius . Barton explained his action on Twitter :
"In my defense, it is very difficult to do a press conference in Scouse for a room full of French journalists. The alternative is to speak... like a 'Allo Allo!' character which is choose. It's simply a case of you had to be there," said the former Manchester City player born in Merseyside.
In any event, Barton making news for a press conference is a step up from the player making news for reprehensible on-field actions like his expulsion from the last game of the Premier League season last season when he elbowed Carlos Tevez , kicked Sergio Aguero and tried to headbutt Vincent Kompany .

A coroner says the practice of parents sleeping in the same bed as their babies should be considered a form of child abuse following another infant death.
A coroner's finding released today into the death of a 2-month-old Bay of Plenty boy found he died of positional asphyxia as a result of co-sleeping with his parents last August.
Coroner Wallace Bain said the infant's death, like all co-sleeping deaths, had been preventable.
"In New Zealand we have, I think the figure's 55 to 60 co-sleeping deaths a year. All of those deaths are 100 per cent preventable," he said.
The baby's parents, whose identities have been suppressed, were sleeping on either side of the infant on the night he died.
While the infant - referred to as Baby A - had his own tri-pillow, it was likely the infant had been disturbed by his parents in the bed, causing him to slip down, pathologist Dr Fintan Garavan commented.
"When he slipped down the tri-pillow, his face became covered by soft bedding."
Babies of that age were only able to lift their heads for minutes before becoming exhausted. The boy's face would have sunk into the pillow and/or bedding, resulting in asphyxia.
Coroner Bain also said Baby A's mother had previously discussed with her midwife unsafe sleeping arrangements, as the midwife was aware of a history of alcohol and marijuana.
The midwife had sought an assurance that the baby would be sleeping in a cot, Coroner Bain said.
"That did not occur and the baby is dead."
The Coroner's Court viewed "co-sleeping and the killing of innocent babies" as a form of child abuse, he said.
"The court will recommend that the Government considers this aspect of child abuse in its legislative reforms.
Repeat cases of co-sleeping in families must also be addressed, he urged.
"These parents should have to prove they are fit to parent more children."

As leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the USA and the UK descend on Northern Ireland for their yearly G8 jamboree, even the most conservative of bodies are calling for urgent action on climate change. The World Bank, for one, has made it clear that the 4 degree warmer world we are heading towards (if we fail to act urgently) is not a place any of us want to be. And the International Energy Agency has just reminded the world that the vast majority of oil, coal and gas reserves need to stay under the ground if we want life on earth to be pleasant rather than chaotic (a long overdue recognition of the "carbon logic").
Yet, if you look at the G8 summit´s website, climate change is consipicuous in its absence. That did not used to be so.
Back in 2007, 2008 or 2009, for example, climate was a key issue these countries fought over. Now it reportedly took heavy lobbying from Germany and France for Cameron (who promised to run the "greenest government ever") to even agree to talk about climate change at all. With such bad preparation and lack of political capital being invested in getting the G8 to send a leadership signal on climate, it's hard to see how the summit can produce anything but meaningless platitudes.
But do prove me wrong, dear G8 leaders, please do! French president François Hollande, after all, has already called on you all to "do ... [your] part and give a strong political impetus to curb carbon emissions."
Here is a simple guide to making me eat my words.
The G8 should set out clearly how existing commitments to finance climate action, adaptation and ending deforestation will be met and how much "climate finance" each G8 leaders will make available for countries in need between 2013 and 2015.
The leaders should also commit to innovate ways of generating the money urgently needed to fight poverty and climate change. This should include making the international shipping and aviation industries pay for their excessive damage to our climate, taxing financial transactions and redirecting the absurd amount currently being spent on fossil fuel subsidies to financing the energy revolution we need.
As a German, it makes my blood boil that even a country like Germany spends $6.6 billion on financing climate destruction through fossil fuel subsidies, but has only pledged some 500 million in terms of financial support to those countries that need support to act.
While they are at it, G8 leaders also need to show that they are serious about agreeing a new, legally binding, fair global treaty on climate change at the UN climate summit 2015 in Paris. To be credible, they need to deliver a peak in climate damaging emissions before 2020 and therefore need to set out immediate steps by each G8 nation to step up their efforts between now and 2020.
I am not holding my breath, but you are allowed to wake me up any time of night if you hear rumours of the G8 agreeing to such an action agenda.
By the way, I am not for a moment saying that the issues this summit will focus on instead of climate change – trade, tax compliance and transparency - are not important. The free trade agenda the G8 still holds onto, though, is likely to make our environmental vows worse, not better.
And it´s odd that the transparency discussion is not being linked to climate change. After all, climate change is a driver for "land grabbing". Initiatives such as Publish What you Pay, however welcome, are all too often about payments that facilitate the extraction of the very oil, gas and coal reserves that we know we need to find ways of leaving in the ground.
That said, this G8 may yet deliver something on tax which is positive for people and planet. I can only salute the excellent work done by other civil society groups on the outrage of corporate tax dodging. Their campaign work has indeed resulted in the "highest pressure yet on the tax dodgers" this week.
Corporations avoiding taxes is not only plainly unfair, it also results in there being less money available to tackle climate change, poverty and to pay for other vital public service. So here is to hoping that public pressure will result in a real step forward on ending tax evasion. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Frankly, the G8 should have an interest in delivering something on tax compliance as doing so could allow them to argue that the G8 is not completely irrelevant in a multi-polar world. For the climate, the importance of the G8 is not in doubt.
For starters, the G8 nations still emit the a big chunk of all climate damaging gases worldwide (and have emitted the vast majority historically). And while everyone who has a high carbon footprint needs to act no matter where they live (from Manila to New York), there is no question that if the G8 nations sent a signal of leadership on climate change that would be a huge deal.
It could change the 'you go first' dynamics of the climate negotiations and send clear signals to markets and investors that they cannot assume that fossil fuels will be a good long term investment.
I am not holding my breath. But especially if our leaders fail us – again - in Northern Ireland this week, I am asking for your help. We must hold their feet to the fire at home and make them act. One first opportunity to do so will be the End the Age of Coal action day on 29 June. Join in and remind world leaders that we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground if we are to have a decent future for all.

I think this Bison brooch is meant for women but it's way to cool to give to a partner or loved one. I love cutout wood badges, they remind me of US Tv shows where the dad has a 'den' and he keeps all his hunting trophies and college flags… Go-oo Tigers!
Wear it with a gruff beard for a outdoors-y look that says 'no one can get as close to me as my pipe'. It'll cost you $32 yankee dollars from Orange Button but you'll have to get the air rifle and paranoid demeanour yourself.

There are only a few spots out on the main lake that are legally huntable (on the SW end around the bays), but if you get out there early enough you can get one. The marsh to the north of 50 is accessible about half way in by regular boat, the northern portion is paddle in only (obviously this is all dependent on how much water you have in a given year.) If you have a small paddle craft you can launch into the marsh to the north from mound road but only if there is enough water and you draft shallow enough. My paddle in boat drafts about four inches and last fall with the drought I couldn't get in there (and if you try to walk it be careful you might find hip deep that will grab you like quicksand.) I know last year some guys got stuck in there running a mud motor and the FD had to come get them with an airboat.
I also used to do ok on along the Turtle Creek Wildlife area. The entire creek anywhere I tried it was 99% accessible on foot with only a few spots that might get to deep for chest waders. Again be careful of the black muck, there's a few spots that can get pretty sticky. I also shot A LOT of doves in here too.
Last one I'd say to try is Silver Lake on Hwy ES Northwest of Elkhorn. It's 80 acres and fairly shallow (about 6ft deepest I believe) and extremely weedy, essentially an 80 acre open swamp. It's got a pretty crappy dirt ramp so I wouldn't suggest a big heavy boat but something small again can get you in. Did pretty good on mallards, woodies and teal here with a few geese mixed in. I always heard a lot of shooting on Lake Wandawega to the north but never saw anyone besides myself on Silver lake.

Jamie Heywood:
The big idea my brother inspired
When Jamie Heywood's brother was diagnosed with ALS, he devoted his life to fighting the disease as well. The Heywood brothers built an ingenious website where people share and track data on their illnesses — and they discovered that the collective data had enormous power to comfort, explain and predict.

Trooper: Teen charged with DWI after crashing car into Kinston home
Driver and passenger are both in high school
KINSTON, LENOIR COUNTY - A teenager has been charged with DWI for crashing a car into a Kinston home, according to the Highway Patrol.
Nathan Staskelunas, 18,of Greenville, was driving a 2012 Dodge Challenger on Rouse Road Extension just after 7 p.m. Thursday, when he lost control of the car, hit a tree, then crashed into the house, said Trooper Jackie Rogers.
(CLICK HERE for more photos from the scene)
Staskelunas did not get injured in the crash, investigators said. He was charged with driving while impaired and reckless driving. According to Trooper Rogers, Staskelunas' blood alcohol level was recorded as .10 at the scene.
"A teenager with a combination of alcohol and speed- that's just a bad combination," said F/Sgt C.L. Johnston of the Highway Patrol. "It's just a lack of understanding of how quickly you can lose your life in a motor vehicle crash. And once it happens and that car's out of control, you're just at the mercy of wherever that car ends up."
Meanwhile, Staskelunas' passenger, 18-year-old Andrew Davenport of Dover, was charged with an alcohol violation. He suffered just a scratch on his leg, according to investigators.
Ryan Riggs rents the home that the car crashed into. He said he was at work when he got the call about what had happened. Riggs described what he saw when he returned home.
"[It was] like a parade. There were about 35 cars here: paramedics and ambulances and EMTs, probably every volunteer fire department guy in a hundred-mile radius," Riggs told NewsChannel 12.
Riggs said he was expecting to find the car in his bedroom, but was relieved to see it up against the porch.
"I was expecting to see my closet from the road," Riggs said.
According to troopers, about $3,000 in damage was done to the house's exterior.

ADDRESS on package: Pristine Bay LLC, 514 Crescentville Rd., Cinn. OH 45246
I received a package from you today that I NEVER ORDERED and would like to know how you got my c.c. number? Since Monday, i've received packages EVERY DAY this week from companies similar to yours. I have filed a complaint with two web sites, who take legal action against companies like yours and also the Better Business Bureau. You do NOT have authorization to charge my c.c. number at all for any amount since I did not order this product. I am saving the product and have taken pictures of it since my legal counsel advised me to do that for proof. I have never ordered anything over the internet therefore have no idea how you got my c.c. number, unless it was stolen by companies such as yours. Again you do not have authorization to charged anything - not even the shipping or $3-$5 promotional amount to my account. By the way, I also brought the product in and notified my bank of what is going on and have since canceled my account therefore you will not be able to charge anything anyway. I am not letting this go. With all the crime on the rise and identity's and c.c. numbers being stolen and comprimised, I refuse to allow this to happen to me, let anyone else. My bank assures me they will credit back my account however if I don't see a credit from your company within 7-10 days, You'll be hearing from counsel soon.

Florence Falcons set free with new space
MISSOULA, Mont. - The Florence Carlton wrestling team has been in the B-C wrestling division for years, but something is different this season. For the first time ever the squad has a brand new practice facility.
"This is a place where I actually every day drive past this building and I call it home. Make sure to point to my little sister and say hey that's my home," said Keenan Hendricksen. "You know place we can call home. We can come in here drill what we want when we want," added Torren Lawson. "Having a home is what it's all about. Being able to put pictures on the wall and they can say that was my dad you know 20-30 years down the road," explained James Muir.
Since coach James Muir has taken over the head coaching job, the team has been fundraising and getting local support to help get their own wrestling room. The addition has been huge for the team. For years they had to practice in the gymnasium and that consisted of 30 minutes down time each day to roll out the mats.
"I can't even tell you what it's like to not have to roll up the mats. I've been wrestling since third grade and every single day every single season," said Hendricksen.
"You would think that somewhere along the line we would have had something to practice in besides the gym," added Lawson.
The team shares their new area with the Bitterroot Bucs baseball team to help on costs. The new facility is the first step to a permanent wrestling facility for Florence wrestling on the high school campus. They currently have a four-month lease for the facility.
"This facility is more than just a wrestling room. To me it's my last year, my last few months as a Florence Falcons wrestler and the day we got this was pretty emotional day," said Hendricksen. "It's super important to me that this whole situation continues because if we go back to wrestling in the gym again we're going back on cruise control, this is a step forward," explained Muir.
This year's team only has eight wrestlers. With the new space, expectations are for more kids to join from their large little guy wrestling program.
"Florence has got the most little guy participants in the whole valley. Even in Missoula, last year I think there was 85," said Muir. "Man over the years I've had three coaches in four years of high school, this was every single one of their dreams. It's just excellent to finally have that dream come true for so many different people in this small wrestling community of Florence," added Hendricksen.
This year's falcon team has no freshman, but hopes are high when it comes to growth now that things are working in their favor. Wrestling is important to the community and the support is huge for the sport.

This is a discussion on List of executive actions Obama plans to take as part of anti-gun violence plan within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; An added summary of some of the things : What Are Obama's Gun Control Proposals? An Easy Guide - NationalJournal.com Here is a look at ...
An added summary of some of the things :
What Are Obama's Gun Control Proposals? An Easy Guide - NationalJournal.com
Here is a look at what Obama is proposing:
Assault Weapons Ban: Obama is seeking a reinstatement of an earlier federal ban, which expired in 2004. The original measure was signed by President Clinton in 1994, but Congress declined to renew it.
Limiting High-Capacity Ammunition Magazines: Advocates of a limit on high-capacity magazines believe it could slow down a shooter planning to carry out a massacre, such as the one at Sandy Hook. Obama's proposal would limit these magazines to 10 bullets. Rep. Ron Barber, who was wounded in the Tucson, Ariz., shootings, is one of the advocates for this proposal.
Getting Rid of Armor-Piercing Bullets: Although it is illegal to manufacture and import armor-piercing bullets in the U.S., the president is sending legislation to Congress that will ban the possession and transfer of the ammunition.
Gun-Trafficking Law: A favorite of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a gun-control group with major backing from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, this measure would help prevent the trafficking of guns between states. This measure would make it easier for law enforcement officers to go after "strawmen" who buys guns for other people and transfer them across state lines.
Note ; this translates to no internet purchases of guns & shipped to an FFL in your state, buying in connecting states, etc..... and could be made to include ammunition.
Universal Background Checks: Anyone who buys a gun at a store, a gun show, or through other private sellers would have to go through a criminal background check before purchasing the weapon, under this legislative proposal. Senior White House officials said there would be exceptions for transfers between family members, however. The president will also direct the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to explain to licensed dealers how to best run background checks on potential buyers.
Tougher Background-Check System: Through executive action, the administration will give states $20 million in new incentives to share their information with a broader background-check system. The president will address legal barriers to reporting information that the White House has deemed unnecessary. The president will also ask federal agencies to update their records and make them available to the national background-check database.
Review of Prohibitions on Gun Ownership: The president will ask the attorney general to look into current laws that outline which people are prohibited from buying guns, and make appropriate recommendations to improve the system. Currently, felons and some persons with disabilities are not allowed to purchase weapons.
Nominate a New Head of the ATF: Obama will nominate Todd Jones as permanent head of the alcohol and firearms bureau. The agency has been without a congressionally confirmed director in six years. Jones is a U.S. attorney in Minnesota and has been serving as acting head of the ATF.
Gun-Violence Research: The president is seeking a resumption of research into gun violence by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through executive action. Congress halted the research because of lawmaker concerns that the agency was advocating for gun control. White House lawyers found that researching the cause of gun violence would not qualify as advocacy. The agency would be tasked with looking into the causes of gun violence, including a correlation between video games and violent behavior.
School Safety: The administration, through executive order, will allow local communities to use money under the "COPS" initiative — which is aimed at putting more police officers on the street — to hire "school resource officers" who could help improve safety in schools. The White House would also make more money available to cities and towns to allow them to hire more mental-health workers for schools. The administration will also work with schools to develop emergency plans that could help them become better equipped to respond to incidents such as a shooting.
Combating Bullying: Through the Health and Human Services Department, the administration will provide new resources aimed at reducing bullying.
Obamacare Regulations: The administration will develop regulations for the Affordable Care Act aimed at ensuring comprehensive care for mental-health problems. This would include putting money toward new social workers and psychologists.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
This is simple to provide government money for propaganda!
Correct….If the store closes or stops FFL for waht ever reason then they are required to turn all federal forms into BATF.
Then the records are put into storage. After 10 or 20 years, some or most of that data is obsolete and the gun(s) could have changed hands many times over. Not worth the effort to record. But…
If we had NEW registration/background check the data would be fresh and correct. A perfect plan when you think about it…complete with serial numbers.

California currently requires that any firearm held by law enforcement only be released upon proof of ownership (some departments are strict, did you keep your receipt from 20 years ago?), payment of a fee, a background check, and an unknown amount of time (the department can drag it out for months). As you can see, this idea is already being practiced in the wild.
I guess I'm not clear on him wanting to ban any gun with >10 round magazines. How would that work? Is that done state by state and who would vote on it? I have to admit that I'm a noob when it comes to the politics and how certain things get passed.

Under what provision on the Constitution? If they go interstate commerce it will be in the courts for a long time.
A gun safe would have allowed Nancy Lanza to at least wake up. As far as anything else, background checks or whatever wouldn't have done squat to help at Sandy Hook. A lot of times I have read about kids taking guns to school. I would suggest the parents make the kid drag the hole safe there.
"Prohibited" here is past tense. As in, those who are already prohibited from owning guns. Thus, those who the law doesn't already disallow. It doesn't make for new prohibitions. As for the rest of the post - any new prohibitions would have to come through congress, not by Executive fiat.
So, who is the president describing by those who are individuals prohibited from having a gun"? That is when I said, if it was any other president, I'd say it'd be those involved in the drug wars south of the border. Because those drug wars are finding their way into California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Chicago, Omaha, etc. etc. Hence, those are the ones that are already prohibited, and should be focused on.
Hope that clarifies.
