hiv/AIDS -My T-cell count was just above 200
Now I am healed/negative for 20 years
From the time I was five years old, I can remember trusting in the finished work of Christ's shed blood on the Cross and His Resurrection over sin and death. I had a sense a presence and knew I was never alone since early childhood. I trusted in that still small voice of the Holy Spirit to guide me. Sometimes I just chose to ignore it.
One of those instances where I chose to debate that voice was in April of 1983, around Easter. I was 19 years old. I was with my "friend", Roy, staying with him for the weekend. Roy considered himself bisexual. We would often go out dancing to alternative clubs. I had a history of sexual abuse, abandonment and rejection. Like many children, I sexually experimented with other girls as a young girl, but my desire to be with females grew stronger. I was sexually attracted to men but also found I was becoming more emotionally and sexually drawn to women. Perhaps it was my emotional closeness I had for Roy that made me consider having sex with him that day. I would never have done that in any other circumstance. I was also going through great inner conflict at the time. Whatever the reasons, we decided to have sex that weekend. I did it mostly out of "Love".
As I lay there about to let him penetrate, an inner voice said, "Don't sleep with him! He is diseased." I thought silently, debating with this voice, "What disease could he have? If it's gonorrhea or something, there is a cure." "No, its not that!" The Holy Spirit was very firm in warning me in my ignorance. Still, in my stubbornness and foolishness, I argued, "I loved him and Love conquered all. And you love me. Its too late for me to tell him No. If I get it, you will heal me!"
As soon as we finished, I ran to the bathroom to douche with water. I always did that after I had sex with my ex-fiance but I felt a warning not to do that this time. Out of habit, I did it anyway.
That summer, I moved to Key West, FL. I saw my first case of someone who had AIDS, although I had never heard of it. A girl I was briefly dating, Tanya, a bisexual woman, introduced me to him because she often took him food. He was in his final stages and weighed under 100lbs. II pondered if this was the disease the Holy Spirit had tried to warn me about. I was not worried.
I still believed that whatever it was, I would be fine. I was also sexually involved with a Frenchman named Pierre. He had been staying at Calvin Klein's Key West home with some other men. Pierre referred to them as Calvin's boys. Although Pierre denied being bisexual, I didn't believe him. In fact, at that time in my life, I was convince that just about anyone could be persuaded to have a gay encounter, by the right person. Therefore, I assumed that he too was bisexual or had at least experimented. He also became my summer love that year, moving into a compound cottage with me. I later ran into Tanya and she seemed to have succumbed to the new crack cocaine that had hit the streets. I don't know what happened to her but she too looked like she was coming down with the same disease that other man had. I moved back to Pittsburgh to attend my first year of college and Pierre moved onto a yacht in Miami. But, before I started college, I went on another vacation with Roy and out friend, Todd. We were all promiscuous in our own ways and Roy managed to seduce a few more young men into experimenting sexually. Sometimes I was the bait that lured them in to his lair.
After I started school, I began to look at the life I was living. I tried to pull away from being promiscuous and instead became intimately involved with one person. She was my true love and the third woman I had been with as an adult. We remained turbulently together for almost two years. Roy had also settled down with one man. During this time, I began to get sick. I was sick for months but my family doctors just kept giving me antibiotics that were not working to clear up my cough. I had diarrhea for over a month. The night sweats had me changing at least twice before I woke up to begin my day. I saw an advertisement on the news for Pitt Men's Study wanting bisexual and gay men to come and get tested for a new disease. They described all they symptoms. I watched for 2 months as I labored through my midterms and finals. My mother told me I needed to call them. My mother was a woman of faith and my strong support and friend. She always told me that I could not please God if I did not trust Him. She would often say, "Without faith it is impossible to please God and Whatever is not done in faith is sin." She got those words from the red letters in the Bible. That was what Jesus said. I grabbed onto those words and would hold them in my heart. I finally called them before I started the summer term. I had to beg them to let me test since I was a woman and the study was for men. I was persistent and after three attempts, they let me come in under a number. Because of the shame, I kept it a secret from everyone else. When I got the results back, they were positive for HIV. I was told that my T-cell count and my TR4 count was extremely low and just above 200. I think they said 280. I was told AIDS was considered when it was below 200. They said it could be a false positive so they would need to run another test to be sure. It too was positive. That was June 6, 1985.
As they were telling me I was sick and that, "Having children someday would not be a wise thing to do because they would become infected and there was no cure and nothing doctors or man could do, I zoned out. The room was spinning and I had to go elsewhere in my mind. They no longer could help me. They had no answers. I realized where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord, I thought. Only God can help me now. I thought of the scripture I had read a few times in the past, "Put no trust in man. Trust not in princes. Trust in the Lord." Soon my dizziness from the news went away and I returned again in my mind to hear them still talking to me about this disease. "Thank you! Are we through now? Yes, I will be fine." I said.
I just wanted to run to God and needed to get away from them to get a moment with Him, alone.
When I finally got downstairs and onto the street my body was walking but my mind was searching for another place. I prayed as I walked up and down 5th Ave. I thought of what I would do it I died. I didn't want my life to be a total waste. I thought once more I would say, "The Sinner's Prayer" to ensure that I was Christ's and Christ was mine. It would be alright if I died. I would be with the Lord. I thought of the scripture, "They overcame him by the blood of the lamb, the word of their testimony and loving not their lives, even unto death." I had to lay it all down and be willing to let every dream that was mine die. I had to be willing to live and die for something greater than me and my own desires. When it was all stripped away, all I had ever wanted and had a hard time dying to was my desire to have children and a good loving husband who would serve Christ and mankind with me. I wanted an inheritance of the Lord, I wanted children of my own. I hoped I could eventually adopt of God did not heal me. Although I was a child of God, I was really messed up in my own thinking and needed a new mind. I was depending solely on His grace and mercy, His unconditional love. I was empty, broken and had absolutely nothing to give.
As I paced back and forth on that busy street and silently spoke with God, I told God that I really needed another chance because I had not done anything I had promised him and he hadn't been able to do anything he had promised to do through me. I said it was alright if I died but he could do so much more with me alive. I pondered what I could do in my own strength until I died. After bargaining and being angry with myself for being such a fool, I finally decided it was time to let go and pray the sinner's prayer. I began to whisper, "Dear Jesus, I confess I am a sinner and have missed the mark in every way. My life has been lived for me and I have not really trusted you with it. Please forgive me." I began to think of all the people I had hurt out of my own pain. I could not begin to remember them all. Then, Christ spoke in that still quiet voice. "Come to the cross." As I walked to the top edge of the Hill District of Pittsburgh I stopped in my tracks and saw a picture of Jesus on the Cross. He was broken, bleeding and dying. "Lay it down here. All of it. You can do nothing with it. Let it go. I have done it all. It is finished. Receive what I have given. Receive forgiveness and forgive yourself. Receive my salvation. I have saved you. Receive my healing. I have healed you. It was all done here. Take it." Tears rolled down my cheeks as I began to really understand that no matter what I had done right, I could never do enough. And because I had done so many wrong things, they still were covered my his love. He wanted to give me a fresh start and a clean slate. I had to believe it and take it as mine. I continued walking and thinking about what I would want if I had a clean slate. I would want to change my behavior and serve humanity with the Love of God. I would want to show them the only way to love is through the cross. I would want children as my inheritance and a good companion and helper who wanted the same things. But, I had a hard time trusting for that because I know men have a will of their own and they go astray and leave and so I did not want to trust that as much as I wanted to trust having children who I could love. While I walked, I told God that I wanted to be healed and to heal me. I was overcome with emotions that came from a deep angst in the depths of my heart. My heart was crying out to be loved with the kind of love we can only get from heavenly places. That was the only kind of love that could heal me. I wanted it and I wanted to be able to feel it for others without being afraid.
Continuing to pace, as I walked and cried a heat came over me from the top of my head down to my feet. It was as if an electrical bolt had come down from heaven just for me. It left as quick as it came but I still felt hot inside like I was on fire but not burning. It was an incredible feeling. I began praising God quietly, through my tears of joy, from a place of overwhelming gratitude, right there on Fifth Ave. "Oh, Thank you, Father. Thank you, Jesus. You really love me. I love you." After a few minutes of elation,his still small voice broke in. "You're battle isn't over." I pressed for answers. "The enemy wants to sift you and steal what you have just received. He will come and test you. You must stand on my word. I will speak to you as you ride the bus home." I caught the bus into downtown Pittsburgh and caught two more transfers. I was given divine orders to go home and rest and get in the Holy Bible, reading only the New Testament and specifically the words of Christ. I was not to speak on the phone to my lover, Lilah or listen to music that would distract me. Classical music was acceptable so I changed the radio station. I told my mother no phone calls. When Mother asked me what I found out, I grew silent for a moment. I remembered a spiritual hymn I had heard a few times over the years, "It Is Well, with my soul." Then I immediately thought of the shunamite woman whose young son was laying dead in an up stair bed. She told her husband she was going to see the prophet and when her husband asked if everything was alright, she said, "It is well." Those words and the fact that I seemed tired after a long day of buses, seemed to keep her from intruding upon the silent,tight air that spoke volumes. I ran upstairs to my attic bedroom and turned the corner. She backed off and went back into the kitchen. I told her I was too tired to eat dinner and retreated for the evening from her and my sisters and the rest of civilization. I wasn't really tired at all. I was gearing up to fight for my life and didn't know what was ahead. I imagined the movie, "The Exorcist" and became a little fearful. His peace came over me as I ran to his word and fought the battle in my mind. I began reading the bible and God began speaking to my heart again. "The enemy will try to tell you are unworthy to receive this gift. You will battle all types of doubt,feelings of total unworthiness and fears. Stand against it with what I did on the cross. You could do nothing. No one could. I did it all. Fall on the cross and my love and what I have already done." And so I did. I rested and read the Bible, I sang a few simple songs of praise that I knew as a child and trusted in what I could never do even if I had been the type of person who was more perfect that most, which I certainly knew I was not. If anything, I always felt like the woman who crashed the party and wept at Jesus' feet and washed them with her tears, The sinner woman, the harlot. The one who he said, "She who has been forgiven much, loves much."
That night was the first night I slept sound until morning. I had no more night sweats, dry cough or diarrhea and my throat wasn't sore. I was healed. I had to believe in what I could not see before I could see the invisible. My symptoms never came back.
I would like to say that after that I no longer wanted women and my life was a piece of cake. But, it wasn't. I needed a new mind and that took time. Although the Holy Spirit is our counselor, He does provide a body of believers who should be able to provide wise counsel and support. I didn't go to any church and so I was not exposed to loving, prophetic people who could really help me progress. I had only my mother and Christian television. I needed deliverance, desperately. But only God's love attracted me and because I had a past, most would not be able to understand me. I was extremely guarded and had to trust God to direct me to the right people at the right church. Until he did, I went back to what I knew for awhile until it became more painful than being alone and seeking new friends who were wiser. I was again fighting supernatural heavenly battles with my own natural strength. Besides, renewing the mind takes time and I needed to be patient and love myself. This was not easy. Just three months after my miracle of being healed, I attempted suicide because my pain at being gay and heartbroken was so real. Again, God miraculously prompted my little sister to leave her school in the middle of her classes and walk home. She found me unconscious in my bed and the empty pill bottle next to me and called 911 and my mother. The doctors said I was a miracle but I didn't feel like it. I felt like an utter failure who had wasted her life and couldn't even end it right or stop being gay. Things did begin to turn around because I began to pray and ask God for strength instead of going it all alone until I got in a tight spot. I sought help daily, hourly, moment by moment until my heart breathed new life and my mind marched to new orders. Two years later, 1987, I surrendered completely and began to attend church, got baptized by water and fire of Holy Spirit. That was what I had needed all along. But, I had a hard time trusting and letting go of everything at the same time. Once I got the baptism of power, things that had me bound for over a decade, such as cigarettes and sex addiction, fell off overnight. I quit both almost immediately. But keeping them away took prayer, fasting and the word until I was strong enough to resist without second thoughts and third ones to give in.
Love meets us where we are and gives us what we need, whatever the gift is, whether a prophetic word of encouragement or wisdom to take the next step or healing to begin living with a future and a hope. True love had no conditions and is something given freely...its the only thing that can change us. Only by receiving God's love and healing can we even begin to think about changing. And some of us are really stubborn. We need all the help we can get. Remember, "Love Conquers All" (Omnia Vincit Amor-Latin)! That Love is what faith works by. Faith works by love. That is the only thing that overcomes death,disease, sin...Love! Love covers a multitude of sins and your private burden of sin, disease and death is no exception! Have faith in God...Mark 11:22-26.

Controlled burn that wasn't
There sometimes needs to be a flood of outcry before people listen. Here's one more letter of complaint regarding the Army's "controlled" burn this week.
I live in Del Rey Oaks and my home faces the wilderness preserve. The burn that took place on Monday and Tuesday continues to affect me today (Thursday).
Ash, soot and smoke filled our yard, deck and inside our home. Our bedsheets reek of smoke. I have a chronic sore throat, cough and headache since Monday evening.
OK, maybe that's not a big deal to the Army. But I do have a plain and simple question for those in charge. How in the hell is the U.S. Army unable to control a 300-acre burn? It's a frightening question if you think about it. And what's most appalling, as I read in The Herald, is that the Army doesn't give any reason, apology or admission about its incompetence. Officials merely state that the extra 124 acres was going to be burned anyway. Come on, boys!
Do you think we are not worthy of an explanation? You need to care about the taxpayers who fund your paycheck. I say people of this area, especially Seaside and Del Rey Oaks, make your voices heard!
There must be healthier, safer ways to clear brush at Fort Ord.
Valerie Fern
Del Rey Oaks
The end of the story
Through the wonders of technology, The Herald omitted the ending paragraphs of my column last Sunday. So here they are:
Simply put, Measure K is sponsored by a self-interested developer who thinks that the ballot box is the avenue to making a bunch of money out of a former army base, and Measure M is sponsored by self-appointed protectors of our environment who want to stop his development, and any other.
But no matter the vote count, the real losers here will be us, the taxpayers. Next month's election, with nothing on the ballot in some parts of the county but the two measures, is expected to cost us between $1 million and $1.2 million, or roughly $2,000 for each of the acres at issue. And no matter the vote count, there likely will be litigation over the measures. Indeed, there already has been. And we know who pays for that as well.
Dueling ballot measures advertised with half-truths and linguistic sleights-of-hand is no way to make complex, long-term land-use decisions, so please vote no on both measures. Maybe if they both are defeated we can make a thoughtful, well-reasoned decision.
Many people think that one must vote in favor of one and against the other, but the best decision here is to "just say no."
Neil Shapiro
Racetrack will spoil Fort Ord site
First, the people who want Monterey Downs to be built create a ballot measure intended to confuse people about Measure M, which would prevent Monterey Downs. They trick people into thinking that Measure M also would prevent development of a veterans cemetery, which it won't.
Then when it is apparent that the trickery worked and people are confused, they manage to convince important people to publicly propose a compromise of sorts: Vote no on both Measure K and Measure M, as though that will send a signal to both sides that we don't like to be manipulated. But they don't really come out and say that defeating Measure M pretty much guarantees the Monterey Downs project will move forward.
Let me cut through the nonsense. Vote yes on Monterey Downs unless you think that putting a racetrack on one of the prettiest parts of Fort Ord is a good idea.
Leslie Miller
Important issues need your votes
November's election will decide many important issues: Who will be on our school boards, local tax initiatives and the fate of the Fort Ord Base Reuse Plan.
Regardless of what you choose to believe or support, it is irrelevant unless you cast a vote. Take a moment to educate yourself regarding the issues and the candidates.
Measures M and K are an excellent example. Measure K leaves the Fort Ord base reuse plan intact. Measure M fundamentally alters it by declaring yet another 540 acres as open space. What does that all mean?
Simply put, Measure K allows the balance created and litigated between the Fort Ord Reuse Authority and the Sierra Club to remain intact. Measure M says all that time and effort was wasted and it should be changed.
You could ask yourself a more fundamental question. How many businesses and jobs has the open space already assured in the current base reuse plan created? What will another 540 acres do to promote the economic recovery of our region?
The answer to the first is, very few, and the answer to the second is minuscule. If both measures seem to be confusing, others recommend voting no on both initiatives. There are choices, but each of us must make them.
So, if you do not want the minority of voters deciding your future and determining your fate, take time to vote.
Dan Amadeo
Down with Downs, up with vets, open space
Two quick comments on two big issues. First, The Evil Anarchists (TEA) Party is treasonous and traitorous.
Second, down with (Monterey) Downs! Down with veterans! Down with open space!
Actually, just down with Downs. Go veterans and open space. Insert Rodney King quote here.
Sean Gallagher
Measure G would raise property tax
Measure G for voters in the Pacific Grove school district raises your property tax to pay for school equipment.
How about using some other source of funding if students need the latest technology, like their parents buy it or solicit donations from those who feel it is important. Raising property taxes usually results in a rise in the cost of living for all. Vote no on Measure G.

Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM): Current price $88.97
Exxon Mobil would benefit from a lower oil price. While this would cut into profits, it would reduce the price of acquisition targets, as the firm might soon need a big deal. Exxon's cash flow is still enviable, but its lead has slipped, according to the Wall Street Journal.
A report on Monday explained that the Russian state oil company, Rosneft, has awarded access to the Arctic Laptev Sea fields to Exxon Mobil, rather than BP (NYSE:BP). However, three industry sources say that BP is in discussions with Rosneft to explore blocks in the sea fields, according to Reuters.
In a presentation to investment analysts, Exxon Mobil Corporation said that it expects that major project start-ups will deliver one million oil-equivalent barrels over the next five years. Output of crude oil and other liquids is should increase by an average of four percent per year between 2013 and 2017, while the firm starts production at 28 major oil and gas projects, 24 of which are liquids or liquids-linked projects. Also reported is that 22 major projects will begin production over the next three years, including an expansion of the Kearl oil sands project in Alberta, and a liquefied natural gas export project in Papua New Guinea. As to continue to explore for and develop new resource opportunities, ExxonMobil will invest around $190 billion over the next five years to meet increasing energy demand.
Exxon Mobil has initiated an auction through which to sell as much as $2 billion worth of shares in a Hong Kong power venture, after a year-long endeavor to offload its holding to its partner came to nothing, say sources to Reuters.

Texas House Advances Transgender 'Bathroom Bill'
Church Of Scotland To Vote On Whether To Marry Gay Couples
Mike Pence's Notre Dame Commencement Protested
Chelsea Manning Posts First Photo Of Herself After Release From Prison
Toronto Blue Jays' Kevin Pillar Suspended, Fined Over Anti-Gay Slur
The Indiana Senate on Monday approved
an amended version of a proposed gay marriage ban, meaning that the
question will not reach this year's ballot.
With a 32-17 vote, the Senate approved
a version of House Joint Resolution 3 (HJR-3) which cleared the House
late last month. House members stripped out language which also
banned civil unions and other similar arrangements. Because a
constitutional amendment must be approved by two consecutive,
separately elected legislatures with the exact same wording before it
can advance to the ballot box, HJR-3's altered language effectively
pushes it to the back of the line.
The earliest the amendment can reach
voters is 2016.
Democratic Senator Greg Taylor called
on colleagues to reject the amendment.
"You can vote for this. You can vote
for it again. But I guarantee you someday, our kids will vote to
take it back out," Taylor said on the Senate floor. "Let's end
this today. Let's vote HJR-3 down."
"We all have friends, coworkers and
family we know are gay," he added. "Are we going to look at them
and say … I am more deserving of basic civil rights?"
Freedom Indiana, the coalition working
to derail the measure, called Monday's vote a victory for delaying a
public vote.

Sustainable Purchasing Preferred Attribute Definitions
Biodegradable – The ability of a substance to decompose in the natural environment into harmless raw materials. To be truly biodegradable, a substance or material should break down into carbon dioxide (a nutrient for plants), water, and naturally occurring minerals that also do not cause harm to the ecosystem. In terms of environmental benefits, a product should take months or years, and not centuries, to biodegrade.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) – Any of a group of compounds that contain carbon, chlorine, fluorine, and sometimes hydrogen and have been used as refrigerants, cleaning solvents, aerosol propellants and in the manufacture of plastic foams. The uses of CFCs are being phased out because they destroy the planet's stratospheric ozone protection layer.
Compostable – A product that can be placed into a composition of decaying biodegradable materials and eventually turn into a nutrient-rich material. It is synonymous with "biodegradable," except it is limited to solid materials. (Liquid products are not considered compostable.)
Cradle to Cradle - A way of redesigning products so that waste is eliminated, rather than sent to landfill. Cradle-to-cradle mimics nature in that "waste becomes food"; i.e. decomposing leaves become soil for future food production.
Deconstructable - Products that can be taken apart and their components reused or recycled to create new products.
Durable – A product that remains useful and usable for a long time without noticeable deterioration in performance.
Energy efficient product – A product that is in the upper 25 percent of energy efficiency for all similar products, or that is at least 10 percent more efficient than the minimum level meeting US federal government standards.
ENERGY STAR- Developed and promoted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Energy Star currently certifies and labels appliances, heating and cooling systems, clothes washers, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, commercial and residential refrigerators & freezers, commercial food service equipment, room AC, lighting, office equipment, and manufactured homes. Criteria for product categories are updated regularly and designed to reduce energy use. In addition, Energy Star and the EPA provide information for reducing the costs of operating buildings through their website and informational material. Website: www.energystar.gov
Environmentally Preferable Products - Products that have a lesser impact on human health and the environment when compared with competing products. This comparison may consider raw materials acquisition, production, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, reuse, operation, maintenance, or disposal of the product.
EPEAT- Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool is a self-declaration system operated by the Green Electronics Council to help purchasers in the public and private sectors evaluate, compare and select desktop computers, notebooks and monitors based on their environmental attributes. EPEAT was developed with funding from the EPA and the Zero Waste Alliance. EPEAT evaluates products based on: material selection, design for end of life, product longevity/life cycle extension, energy conservation, end of life management, corporate Performance, and packaging. EPEAT™ Performance Tiers evaluates electronic products according to three tiers of environmental performance – Bronze, Silver and Gold. The complete set of performance criteria includes 23 required criteria and 28 optional criteria in 8 categories. To qualify for acceptance as an EPEAT product, it must conform to all the required criteria. Environmental groups were active participants in the EPEAT development process along with other key stakeholders. Manufacturers voluntarily announce what performance criteria they meet based on good faith and pay an annual fee. Dell, Apple, Samsung, Sony, Gateway and many other manufacturers participate in EPEAT. Website: www.epeat.net/
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) - Vendors taking on the responsibility for the environmental impacts of their products through the entire product's life cycle; especially the take-back, recycle, and disposal programs.
Fair Trade Certified – A product certification system designed to allow people to identify products that meet agreed environmental, labor and developmental standards. Overseen by a standard-setting body, FLO International, and a certification body, FLO-CERT, the system involves independent auditing of producers to ensure the agreed standards are met. Companies offering products that meet the Fair Trade standards may apply for licenses to use the Fair Trade Certification Mark (or, in North America, the applicable Fair Trade Certified Mark) for those products.
FloorScore- A program for testing and certifying hard floor services compliance with California's indoor air quality emission requirements laid out in California Section 01350 program. Scientific Certification Systems developed the program with the Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI). US Green Building Council approved FloorScore Certification as an indicator for LEED Credit in November 2006. Website: http://www.scscertified.com/gbc/floorscore.php
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) - FSC creates the standards for Smart Wood and Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) (third-party certifying organizations) to certify forests and chain of custody forest products. As of 2005 FSC has three different labels for wood products: "FSC Pure," "FSC Mixed Sources," and "FSC Recycled." FSC also certifies paper products. Website: www.fsc.org
Greenhouse gases – Any of several dozen heat-trapping trace gases in the earth's atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation. The two major greenhouse gases are water vapor and carbon dioxide; lesser greenhouse gases include methane, ozone (O3), CFCs, and nitrogen oxides.
Greenguard- Greenguard is a for profit company that rates the indoor air quality of a variety of products. Greenguard certified office furniture earns LEED credits for Commercial Interiors Rating System. Website: www.greenguard.org
Green Label Plus- The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) developed the Green Label in 1992 as a label for carpets and adhesives that pass their independent testing program for indoor emissions from carpets.
Green Seal- Green Seal is a non-profit formed in 1989 that began certifying products in 2000. Green Seal certifies hand cleaners, electric chillers, cleaners, fleet vehicle maintenance, floor care products, paints, papers, newsprint and windows and doors. Green Seal is a member of the Global Ecolabeling Network (GEN). Website: www.greenseal.org
LEED rating system – A self-assessment system developed by the US Green Building Council for rating the environmental preferability of new and existing commercial, institutional, and high-rise residential buildings. Website: www.usgbc.org
Life Cycle Evaluation - An evaluation of the major environmental impacts in each life-cycle stage of a product category including resource extraction, production, distribution, use, and eventual disposal or recycling. The evaluation considers energy, resource use, and emissions to air, water, and land, as well as other environmental and health impacts. The purpose of this evaluation is to identify significant life-cycle stages to be addressed.
Locally grown or manufactured – Manufactured or grown within the state of Hawai`i.
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) – Written or printed material about a product that includes information on the product's physical and chemical characteristics; physical and health hazards; exposure limits; whether the product contains carcinogenic ingredients above a certain threshold; precautions for safe handling and use; control measures; emergency and first aid procedures; the date of preparation of the MSDS or the last change to it; and the name, address, and telephone number of the manufacturer.
Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) – is a term used in the United States which is defined as a business that is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled on a daily basis by one or more (in combination) American citizens of the following ethnic minority classifications: 1. African American 2. Asian 3. Hispanic America 4. Native American, including Aleuts
MBE's can be self-identified, but are typically certified by a city, state or federal agency. The predominant certifier for minority businesses is the National Minority Supplier Development Council with its 35-40 regional affiliates.
Persistent, Bioaccumulative, Toxic compounds (PBTs) – Toxic chemicals that persist in the environment and increase in concentration through food chains as larger animals consume PBT laden smaller animals. They transfer rather easily among air, water, and land, and span boundaries of programs, geography, and generations. As a result, PBTs pose risks to human health and ecosystems. They include heavy metals and chemicals such as mercury, dioxins, and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Post-consumer recycled content – Percentage of a product made from materials and by-products recovered or diverted from the solid waste stream after having completed their usefulness as consumer items and used in place of raw or virgin material.
Product life cycle – The culmination of environmental impacts for a product, including raw material acquisition, manufacturing, distribution, use, maintenance, and ultimate disposal of the product. (Compare with Life cycle Cost.)
Recyclable product – A product that after its intended end use can be diverted from the solid waste stream for use as a raw material in the manufacture of another product.
Recovered materials – Waste materials and by-products that have been recovered or diverted from the solid waste stream.
Recycled materials – Material and byproducts that have been recovered or diverted from solid waste and have been utilized in place of raw or virgin material in manufacturing a product. It is derived from post-consumer recycled materials, manufacturing waste, industrial scrap, agricultural waste, and other waste material, but does not include material or byproducts generated from, and commonly reused within, an original manufacturing process.
Refurbished product – A product that has been completely disassembled and restored to its original working order while maximizing the reuse of its original materials.
Renewable materials – Materials made from plant-based feedstock capable of regenerating in less than 200 years such as trees and agricultural products. Rapidly renewable resources, such as grain-based feedstocks, regenerate in less than two years.
Sustainable – An action is said to be sustainable if it satisfies present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) -How much a product or service costs over its entire life cycle, taking into account not only upfront price but costs due to: maintenance, transportation, staffing, training, and waste disposal. TCO often reveals that sustainable products and services that are more costly upfront are cheaper over the product's life cycle.
Upgradeable product – The ability to increase a product's performance or features without replacing the product.
Virgin material – Any material occurring in its natural form. Virgin material is used in the form of raw material in the manufacture of new products.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) – Chemicals that readily evaporate and contribute to the formation of air pollution when released into the atmosphere. Many VOCs are classified as toxic and carcinogenic.
Water efficient – A product that is in the upper 25 percent of water efficiency for all similar products, or that is at least 10 percent more efficient than the minimum level meeting US federal government standards.

Abilene Reporter-News, The (Newspaper) - August 27, 1962, Abilene, Texas gflbflene WITHOUT OR WITH OFFENSE TO FRIENDS OR FOES WE SKETCH YOUR WORLD EXACTLY AS IT Byron 82ND YEAR, NO. 72 PAGE Last Thursday a former Baird resident. Doyle Welch, and his Wife, Melba, piled their two sons into a tiny, well-worn car in Fort Worth and headed for Abi- lene and McMurry College. It was a hurry up trip. Doyle had worked the day shift as a train dispatcher for Texas and Pacific Railway and he had to get back in time to go to work early Friday. The quick run from a job to some college was more or less routine. But the reason for this one was, happily different. It was Doyle's 29th birthday and he came to Abilene to re- ceive his bachelor's degree from MeMurry. For four years Doyle has sandwiched college classes and shifts of jobs. He attended, in all, seven dif- ferent colleges. He commuted all the way. And, while he was getting his degree, his wife. Melba. attended college, too. She was graduated last August. Back in 1951 Doyle, 17, of Santo, and Melba. 16. of Lipan. decided on marriage instead of college. Doyle went to work for the working variously at Colo- rado City, Monahans, Pyote, Big Spring, and Santo. Always they wanted to con- tinue education. And back in Santo they decided to try it. "I made up my mind on the job one morning, went home that afternoon and told Doyle says. "When she heard about it she said, 'Well, I'm go- ing, so that's how it was." They started at Tarlcton State College in Stephenville. From the summer of 1958 through the spring of 1959 they drove, 32 miles to college, 32 miles back to home and work. In the summer of '59 they switched to Weatherford Col- lege. That was only 31 miles away. And they took cor- respondence work from North Texas State. In cany 1960 the Welches moved to Baird. Twenty two miles from Abilene. They settled down to real schooling, to and from McMurry. t Doyle can't estimate the num- ber of miles which went into his degree. It must approach 45.000. He wore out a 1956 Oldsmo- bilc and a 1958 Rambler Met- tropolitan in the process. And three sets of tires in a single summer. Car expenses soared as high as monthly. The car which brought him to get his degree had a banged-up fide. The "injury" is two years old, Doyle said. Repair money has gone into tuition. Welch ligures his and his wife's education has cost about Baby-sitting has taken many of the dollars. (Sons arc Gary and Jackie, now 9 and 5.) To help on expenses Doyle referees basketball games 128 last year. He has also found time to serve as master of his Masonic lodge. And the family lakes part in Baptist church work. The Welches moved to Fort Worth in June. He lacked nine semester hours so he com- muted to Arlington State and dropped in at TCU. The seventh college he attended llaidin- Simmons for one course. Mrs. Welch will teach in Denver Avenue Elementary School in Fort Worth this fall. Doyle is going to catch up on his sleep and on the chores at home and work for He has his degree.

The little girl was abandoned in downtown Indianap- olis, Ind., last Monday. Mrs. Oachs said she saw a newspaper photograph of the child and immediately knew her search was over. Authorities said the little girl showed no signs of recognizing Mrs. Oachs and that footprints from birth records will be compared to determine if she is really Carri Caye.

(AP) countdown was under way Sunday night on the Atlas-Agena rocket scheduled to launch a Mariner 2 spacecraft toward Venus early Monday. The spacecraft is ticketed for a 182-million mile trip across inter- ilanetary space to probe mys- eries of the cloud-veiled planet. An attempt to launch the rocket early Sunday was postponed be- cause of a short circuit in the electrical section of the second stage. The trouble was corrected and he countdown proceeded smooth- y Sunday night. Barring additional troubles, the :oo-foot tall rocket was scheduled o blast off some time in a three- hour period after midnight to start Mariner 2 on its extended rip across interplanetary space. If all goes as planned, the 447- wund gold and silver-plated ve- licle will pass within miles of Venus on Dec. 14 and make the irst closeup study of the bright planet, whose secrets have puz- zled astronomers and scientists :or centuries. The postponement cuts one day off the transit time to the planet. Mariner 2 is now programmed for a 109-day trip to rendezvous. This is because the earth and Venus have moved slightly closer to each other in their orbits about the sun. The two planets now are about 69 million miles apart and will approach within 36 million miles in mid-December, when Mariner 2 is to intercept Venus. But to reach its goal at the appointed time, the spacecraft must travel a high, arching course totaling nearly 182 million miles because it must be aimed far in front of swiftly moving Venus like a hunt- ir fires at a moving bird. Sec CUBA, Pg. Z-A, Col. 5 Telephone Service To Cuba Disrupted NEW YORK 'API Normal telephone and cable communica- tions between the United States and Cuba were resumed late Sun- day after an unexplained inter- ruption since early this morning, the American Telephone Tele- graph Co. announced. An spokesman said the first call to the Cuban capital went through at about 5 p.m., EOT. Sunday. He said no ex- planation was ottered for the ear- lier break in communications, commenting: "They (the Cubans) just weren't answering." The interruption of normal communications channels devel- oped in a puzzling aftermath of Friday night's shelling of a Ilava na suburban shore area. Efforts to reach the Cuban capital by phone, radio and cable from New York and Miami earlier in the day unavailing. Phone operators in Miami ad- vised that calls could not be com- nIHivl Iw'cnriso of undefined "cir- cumstances beyond our control" and could not indicate when they might get through. New York telephone operators said calls could not be completed "due to conditions in Havana" did not say what the conditions were. The State Department said it had heard of the communications interruption but had no explana- tion for it. Havana Radio newscasts moni- lored at Key West, Fla., gave no hint as to the breakdown in com- munications but did charge the United States with two violations Jf Cuban air space and territorial favorite accusation in Havana's continuing anti-Ameri- can campaign. The newscast said a U.S. plane flew at feet over five towns in Matanzas Province and anoth- er plane maneuvered over a Cu- ban vessel northwest of Maricl in Cuban territorial waters. The an- nouncer said this brought to 142 the number of such air space vio- lations since July 1. The Miramar area of Havana was subjected to a shower of 20- millimeter cannon shells and ma chincgun and rifle bullets shortly before midnight Friday. No one was injured but minor damage was done to a hotel where technicians from Commu- nist bloc countries were staying and to a theater where Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro .sometimes makes television speeches. FIRST LADY The vacationing Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy wears a white mantilla as she enters the Cathedral of San Pantaleone in Ravello, Italy, to at- tend mass Sunday. (AP Wirephoto via radio from Rome) SAYS LONDON PAPER Don't Take Caroline Water Skiing Again LONDON mass cir- culation tabloid Sunday pictorial las criticized President Kennedy's wife for taking her daughter Caro- ine water skiing. 'Please Mrs. Kennedy, don't do t the paper said Sunday in front page headlines. Most of the paper's front page was devoted to two photographs showing Mrs. Kennedy water ski- ng with 4-year-old Caroline dur- ng their Italian vacation. In one picture Caroline was lolding on to the tow bar and ap- ,ieared to be perched on her moth- er's lap. In the other, Mrs. Ken- nedy was holding Caroline's head above water as she floated low on the skis. "Please, Mrs. Kennedy, look at the face of your little daughter in the picture and don't do it the paper said. "For these pictures of you and Caroline on holiday in Italy will send a cold shiver through mothers everywhere.1' The article added: "Water skiing is hazardous for grown-ups. For a 4-year-old girl it's madness. And when the pre- carious trip ends in a crashing tumble into the sea well, Caroline's face tells its own story." Thousands of Turks Welcome Johnson on Arrival in Ankara ANKARA. Turkey (AP) Lyn- don B. Johnson captured Ankara Sunday with a personal handshak- ng tour of the city that brought .housands of flag-waving Turks nto the streets to cheer the visit- ng U.S. Vice President. More than wildly cheer- ing Turks turned Johnson's of- 'icial motorcade into a traffic jam when crowds surrounded his car. The Turkish afternoon thus took on some of the same zip that had marked his Iranian morning. Iran- ians greeted him so enthusiastic- ally in Tehran's bazaar that po- ice had to beat them back with sticks. After calm airport welcoming ceremonies, Johnson and his wile, Lady Bird, and daughter, Linda, ook 2Vj hours to cover the 16 miles from Ankara Airport to the heart of the city. Time and time igain he left the official motor- cade to talk and shake hands with lundrcds of Turks, from farmers to shopkeepers. "America stands shoulder to shoulder with its ally in NATO, Turkey, whose integrity we have seen tested again and Johnson told them. The crowds, obviously delighted, shouted live Johnson, long live America." Johnson's motorcade departed from the airport in an orderly flow ef vehicles hut by the time it reached the city the motorcade had swelled to a column four lines wide. At the entrance to the city Johnson, accompanied by 78-year- old Premier Ismct Inonu, came: rom an official limousine to the 934 model open Lincoln limou- sine once used by Kemal Ataturk, 'ounder of modern Turkey. The same car was used by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on his visit ,o Turkey in 1959. At almost every major square, Johnson halted his motorcade to mingle with the crowds. Premier Inonu, despite his age and recent .llncss, joined Johnson. Turkish police manning security cars tried without success to con- .rol the enthusiastic crowd sur- rounding Johnson's convoy. The Vice President occasionally inter- vened to ask police not to inter- fere. Johnson will spend four days in Turkey, during which he will visit Central Treaty Organization head- quarters in Ankara and North At- antic Treaty Organization south- eastern European commands at Izmir and Istanbul. He is expect- ed on Monday to sign an agree- ment for the introduction of the NEWS INDEX TV 3 Sporti AmvwiMRft I Comici f 4 10 first American Peace Corps work- ers in Turkey. In Tehran, bazaar workers threw jasmine petals and surged behind frantic imperial guards and police shouting "America Iran" and Welcome Johnson" as the visitor strode into the vaulted bazaar, hub of Iran's commerce. Escort cars and motorcycles of the royal guard were swallowed up by the shoving throng. At one point, Johnson had to stop police from manhandling grizzled bazaar workers trying to shake his hand. Johnson himself appeared strained at times as the crowd pushed in close, but he browsed through shops, shook hundreds of hands, and smiled at the cheers. It was the biggest welcome yet of Johnson's official sec- ond stop on a tour of six nations one of the most hectic re- ceptions ever seen in Tehran. Rough handling by the police was unavoidable in view of the jostling bazaar crowd, the size ol which was impossible to estimate. House Probers Report WASHINGTON (AP) Con- Sessional investigators told the 'entagon Sunday to scrap most f its reserve plan and come up er with something better to cure fail- res exposed by the Berlin crisis imited callup. They reminded Defense Secre- ary Robert S. McNamara also hat the wide powers given him ly Congress can be taken away unless deeds replace "the lipserv- ng pledging cooperation that has jeen given in copious quantities." In a unanimous finding, a House Aimed Services subcom- mittee criticized both past and planned handling of reserves 'laiming it was likely to depress morale and let the program "rock and stumble along" without sig- nificantly increasing military eadiness. The report, issued by chairman Edward Hebert, D-La., after irolonged hearings, coupled crit- cism of Pentagon inflexibility ith committee recommendations or positive Defense Department ction not later than next Feb. 1. Rep. Carl Vinson, D-Ga., veter- in chairman of the parent com- mittee, endorsed the report and ts conclusion that "Neither the Constitution nor our creator has endowed these experts in the Pen- agon with the cloak of infallibili- y" The report said the Army "dem onstrated inability" to select the best prepared men and units for :he small-scale mobilization. It deplored attempts by the Army and the Defense Depart ment to "justify these confusions' with the testified admission that hey "have not prepared contin- :ency plans which contemplate! i partial mobilization." The committee blamed the re- call of numerous older veterans and many "completely unquali ied" younger reservists on the Army's failure to police its re 5ervists and the "inability to iden- ify" the skills of six-month train- ees. The Air National Guard was iraised for "outstanding accom- ilishment" in deploying units ov- erseas. But the committee found "most reprehensible" the Air Force ac- ion in recalling a few individual eservists assigned to organized units, contrary to law. The Navy Reserve was com- mended for making a smaller hough significant contribution to he crisis build-up. The Navy De- lartment, however, was chided or accepting the "increased in- lexibility" of outside controls ov- er its reserve program. The committee encouraged the Army to eliminate obsolete and un- necessary reserve units, but only on the understanding that they would be replaced with outfits rained and equipped to meet modern requirements. The committee opposed aboli- .ion of eight reserve and guard divisions as envisioned in the 'entagon reorganization scheme. The report specifically called on he Defense Department to submit before Feb. 1 draft legislation to permit longer training for six- month servicemen and to tighten the draft liability for short-term rainees who fail to keep up their duties. Otner recommended legislation included establishment of an as- sistant secretary of defense for reserve affairs.

Cow's Milk May Go Out of Style By PKNNIS NEELD LONDON (AP) British scientists have discovered a process for making milk with- out a cow, using pea pods, cabbage leaves and weeds. They hope to open a pilot plant this year with large scalp production following lat- er. The Sicicntista have Rot rid of a greenish color in their man made milk and arc try- ing now to eliminate slight vegetable flavor. If (hey succeed, (he product will go on sale as a powder, in condensed form, and as a liquid. H is expected to com- pete in price with cows' milk. Rasicaily, the raw materials for man made milk arc the same as the food eaten by a cow green leaves. The research which led to the discovery was carried out at the Vegetarian Research Center near Watford in Hert- fordshire. "We can produce lhe milk from almost all said Dr. Frank Wokos, search director. "We have been using carrot tops, outer cabbage leaves and pea pods. "We can also make it from a large number of green plants which arc not edible in themselves. Weeds, nettles and all the hedgerow growths have been used very success- fully." He explained the process: "Roughly it is to mash green leaves in water warmed under controlled conditions until the protein is separated. Vitamins, minerals, vegetable fate and then added. The vitally im- portant vitamin B12 must also be introduced." Dr. Wokes thinks the proc- ess could be valuable in help- ing to solve world food prob- lems. "I think there Is a great fu- ture in this, especially for countries which can grow IIU tie edible vegetation. Then can never be enough milk for all the world's chil- dren or to solve all the tcin deficiencies. But then ii always plenty of greoutuH auch is we are Irvut." ;

Nicole Kidman will star in a horror remake of Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, say British reports.
A report in film magazine Production Weekly says Kidman will play the main character Carol in the remake of the cult classic.
Filming is set to take place in the US city of Baltimore later this year, with German director Oliver Hirschbiegel at the helm.
The original Invasion of the Bodysnatchers was released in 1956, with a remake in the late 1970s.
Kidman is yet to officially announce her involvement with the project.
She is filming Fur, a film based on the life of photographer Diane Arbus and has also lent her voice to an animated film about penguins called Happy Feet.

Malek's Second-Place Finish Paces Bearcats at Pat Bradley Invitational
Oct. 25, 2011
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Sophomore Andrea Malek fired a career-low 67 to finish second, leading the University of Cincinnati women's golf team to a sixth-plaec finish at the FIU/Pat Bradley Invitational on Tuesday afternoon at Palican Preserve Golf Course.
Malek's second-place finish is tops in her collegiate career and her three-round total of even-par 75-74-67=216 also marked a career-best. She was two shots behind Shelby Coyle of tournament host Florida International, who posted rounds of 74-71-69=214.
Olivia Dose finished tied for 26th, carding rounds of 78-76-79=233, while Alex Carl was tied for 39th after firing 82-75-79=236. Maria Roos (78-80-80=238) and Mackenzie Moir (85-73-82=240) wrapped up UC's scoring.
The Bearcats posted rounds of 313-298-305=916 which included a season-best 298 in the second round, finishing one shot behind fifth-place Stetson (305-297-313=915).
Tournament host Florida International took the team title with rounds of 303-289-290=882.
The Bearcats wrapped up the fall schedule and will next be in action on Feb. 26 at the Sir Pizza Challenge in Weston, Fla.

I run a copy of the gun laws for each state I visit while on vacation and use it as a quick reference while in that state. It pays to be careful.
If you were planning to carry in multiple states in a single day, I certainly understand where it can get confusing. However, must people are not in multiple states in a single day, so just a bit of research is all a sheepdog needs to stay in compliance.
Here is my spin on this FWIW. In a perfect world the vast majority of honest citizens would be armed, crime would be low, and laws would be uniform and common sense. Until then, well kids we need to know our stuff.
Carrying a firearm comes with a tacit acknowledgment that you accept the responsibility to carry it lawfully and intelligently. One of the reasons that I love DC is that the mods do not allow discussion of lawbreaking! If you carry on your home turf you need to follow the rules; how much more do you need to follow the rules in someone else's? As an analogy, when you go to someone else's house for dinner do you follow your own rules or do you respect their rules in their home? Of course you would be a polite friend and do things their way!
Stay safe, stay armed, but with all that STAY LEGAL. Every state posts their revised statutes online; take the time to get familiar and know where you are going. As much as it chaps me when I head to CA I leave the firearm at home; when I visit my parents in NM it comes along for the ride though! Once we hit that border, then all NM laws apply and there isn't a cop in NM who is going to care one whit what AZ law is.
"...whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one." (Luke 22:36)
Christianity and Self Defense from a Biblical Perspective
However, it is not just the ignorance of the carrier -- IMHO.
Case in point -- I had an individual who teaches a class which qualifies one to meet VA's training requirement tell me that the difference in "recognition" and "reciprocity" was that in a State that only "recognizes" your permit you had to follow that State's law but in a State that has signed a mutual "reciprocity" agreement all you needed to do was follow the laws of the State that issued the permit.
Like any law, it is the individual's responsibility to know the applicable laws. Gun laws, income tax laws, possession and transport of Rx, travel with children, etc, etc, etc.
Can we?
You got to be kidding.
I know a man who followed the advice of a major tax preparer and got hit with major interest, penalties, etc.
But the alternative is unthinkable -- "Honest Officer, Judge, etc I had no idea that was wrong (against the Law)!"
OTOH, That's why I believe in Jury Nullification.

I have my Nevada permit, and 2 out of state permits, Utah and Florida, which lets me carry in over 30 states. When I plan to travel out of my home area, I check to see if I can carry there. I then review the laws of the area where I'm visiting. That's how I knew when visiting my home in Virginia, that I have to expose my gun when going into a restaurant. I don't know the laws in every state where I can carry via reciprocity, but I make sure that I know them before I will carry there.
Tom G sez...That's what I did on a recent trip to Michigan... print it up and read it on the plane/in the men's room/at the hotel/at the Denny's/whenever you get a chance...I run a copy of the gun laws for each state I visit while on vacation and use it as a quick reference while in that state. It pays to be careful.

I drove to Missouri with a friend last year to go hunting on his farm. Before leaving, I confirmed the reciprocity/recognition for my Ohio CHL, as well as general requirements. The only problem was Illinois, whose government has put itself in the role of "OSHA" for carjackers. I carried my Norinco M1911 IWB through Ohio and Indiana and up to the last stop before the Illinois border. I disarmed, unloaded my gun and placed it and the unloaded magazines in cases in the trunk.
When we crossed back into the United States outside of Saint Louis, I rearmed.
Other than being a potential victim in one state, there was no problem at all.
I also disagree that you have to tread water in Texas after getting a permit. There are a handful of places that you can't carry, and you have to look for a couple of signs, but it is far from restrictive.
There are some states that just hand them out after going to the local sherrifs office or whereever and in a matter or days you are good to go. These states are usually the ones with very limited reciprocity from what I have seen. Both Texas and OK have over 30 states that reciprocate. Therefore folks from those states have much more to learn about other state laws when they travel since we are welcome many more places with our guns.
I certainly don't think it is a good thing to severely limit the number of people that are allowed to have a permit, nor do I think that it is good to have a pemit that is only good for your own state. I think Texas, AR, LA, OK, FL and some other states have it right on the money when it comes to issuing licenses and having a large number of reciprocal states. It is therefore the responsibility of the permit holder to know the laws of the states they will be traveling in to keep themselves within the law.
This is exactly the reason I made the phone call to the LA state police last week to verify the no gun sign laws in LA before sending the wife and her mom/sisters to Shreveport yesterday. I was happy that she was able to carry her new 642 all day without any issues.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

We need a model code adopted by all states or we need a Federal law that would bring uniformity.
There are just way too many little twists and it is too painful to learn the hard way.
Someone above pointed out NM only allows one. OK, you can't take it into a rest stop (considered a gov. bldg). One state you must display a permit, another never display a permit, a third, display when whatever. Another sometimes OC, another no hollow point, another can have in car but not on person/ or the other way around. Another, not on campus, another, it's ok on campus. In parks, not in parks. And so on.
If driving laws were as distinctly different from one place to the next we couldn't travel. Maybe truckers would have to change drivers at each state border?
If marriage and divorce laws were as distinctly different and sometimes not recognized in other locations, we could not travel.
We need to push for a model law or a uniform Federal law and license.
Purist aversion to either based on state's rights grounds won't cut it in a 21st century world. You can't pledge, "one nation indivisible" and mean it, while insisting on state's rights.
Added, Farronwolf is right. Texas doesn't just hand them out and it is not particularly restrictive. TX, OK, AR, FL, have it about right.
I just read this on another forum. It relates to this thread.

Judge: Man might have been better off pulling trigger at school
FRANKLIN A Williamson County judge sentenced a Fairview man to 20 days in jail for handling a gun on school property -- and said the man might have been better off if hed pulled the trigger.
On Thursday, Tracy C. Clark, 37, told Circuit Court Judge James G. Martin III, that hed gotten into a verbal altercation at Westwood Elementary School on Jan. 30, 2006 after his 9-year-old sons basketball game. Clark said the father of rival player came to his truck and held a knife as if threatening to stab him.
Clark, who had a handgun carry permit, said he told the man he had a gun and pulled a 9 mm handgun from the center console of his pickup truck and put it on the drivers seat. The gun was not loaded and never left its holster, according to Clark.
I never brandished it, Clark said. I never showed it. I did not know what the best thing to do was.
Martin said under state law regulating weapons on school property, Clark might have avoided a conviction if he had actually pointed the gun or used it because that would have demonstrated self-defense.
Theres no question he was in a situation where a man pulled a knife on him, Martin said. Its an extremely unusual statute in the defense side of it. While its illegal to possess a firearm (on school grounds) its OK if you use it to defend yourself.
The law states that it is legal for an adult to bring a weapon to a school campus as long as it is kept in a vehicle and not handled. Martin said Clark admittedly handled the gun.
Martin said he hopes his sentence sends a message that if you carry a firearm on school property you are going to spend some time in jail.
Martin found Clark guilty of possession of a weapon on school property, a class B misdemeanor. The judge sentenced Clark to 20 days in jail and six months of probation, ordered him to take anger management classes and said he cannot possess or handle a firearm.
Its ironic that, under the statute, if hed have pointed it at him things would be different, Martin said. By his own testimony he didnt display it or use it in self-defense.
In 2006, Circuit Court Judge Timothy Easter dismissed the charge against Clark, ruling he acted in self-defense. Last year, the states Court of Appeals ruled that Easter erred in dismissing the charge and remanded the case for reinstatement of the indictment.
Assistant District Attorney Chris Vernon said hed originally offered Clark the chance to plead guilty and serve one year of probation.
wjh2657 I agree with you, always check other state and local laws that is very good advice.
Thank You Vic.
