The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz (1973)
by Russell Hoban
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An enthralling tale of a journey into the transformative power of mystery and love. This is [surprisingly] Hoban's first "adult" novel and it defies classification.
The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz starts out in the style of a fairy tale or myth, which tends to irk me: real fairy tales and myths are stories worn smooth by a hundred thousand retellings over the course of centuries, which is how they get their primordial feel. Attempts to copy that feeling usually result in an affect that strikes me as cheap and unearned. Luckily, The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz turns into something more interesting before its end.
The book gives us two main tales, one focusing on a father and the other focusing on his son, who both are struggling to answer the question of what they want out of life. The two tales share symbols between them, with lions and wheels abounding in the largely physical journey of the son and the largely mental journey of the father. The tale of the son was fine, but gives us a coming of age story where a young man strikes out into the world on his own and likewise is introduced to sexual experiences along the way. In short, it's a story you've read before. It reminded me heavily of As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning by Laurie Lee, right down to the young man playing a musical instrument for room and board as he travelled, but Lee's story taken from his actual life eclipses this book's fictional version. The father's tale holds up much better, refusing to fall into the standard clichés of a mid-life crisis story even as the father abandons his family and takes a much younger blonde lover. He feels some guilt about his actions (which, in an interesting way, manifest physically) but this isn't a story of a man realizing what he had before and returning to it. There are no platitudes so tired and boring here. Even when the manifested specter of his past appears in the form of a lion which most people cannot see, the book avoids the usual boring practice of relegating the lion to a status of a simple hallucination, instead making the vision capable of physical actions that make the situation much more tense and interesting to both the father and the other characters involved.
This short book even manages to develop some other characters as well in just a few pages, like the abandoned wife who you can tell is going to make the same mistakes all over again, or the fishing boat captain that maligns restaurant owners while clearly wanting to be one himself. Hoban's writing worked in general, but unfortunately his setting descriptions sometimes failed to land. I bet it will completely work for some people, but that wasn't the case with me. This is one of those books that I rate 3 stars but which I think is very interesting. Unfortunately, with a beginning written in an off-putting style, writing that failed to floor me, and only one of the two main story lines being a stand-out I can't categorize this as a very good or great book, but it has its moments and is, overall, still well worth your time.
Rather baffling. Hoban seems to write each book in a different genre, and here he does symbolic not-quite-magic realism in a form which falls somewhere between Eastern Europe and the Latin America of Marquez or Borges. I couldn't get a grip on it.

The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin Boaz by Russell Hoban
The book jacket of my edition (Jonathan Cape 1973) states this is Hoban's "First adult novel." Fans of "The Mouse and His Child" may dispute that. I have always called Mouse "A book for children and intelligent adults." But let's not split hairs.
Like "Mouse" this book requires intelligent adults. Hoban set the bar very high by naming father and son with mirror names. Although I have read it many times I still must stay alert ( p.147 actually used wrong name!) Each rereading, however, increases my appreciation of its beauty.
Rather than try to give a synopsis I urge adventurous readers to find the book, and follow the trail(s) that lead to London's embankment where a constable, a young woman, a telephone booth, a father and son AND a lion (?) collide.

Tito Ortiz vs Ken Shamrock III
i wanna hear some opinions on this match up,
i think Ken is gonna be very cautious, and hes not gonna want to clinch with Tito again, and will try to box , but Tito will eventually get the takedown and pound on him for the remainder of round 1.
Ken will show some desperation and probably try to knock Tito out but Tito will get him in the clinch, work some knees and take Ken down, initiate some ground and pound, when Big John steps in and stops it at 3:46 of round 2
ok you guys can kick me when it's over, but I'm thinking ken is going to take it. Just a gut feeling. I don't think tito is taking the fight as seriously as he would if he hadn't almost killed Frank twice allready, he's busy getting hummers from that blonde that he was with at the chuck/babaloo fight and sipping on xcience in his tighty wighties.
Meanwhile Frank has nothing left to lose except a few more brain cells and whatever remnants of pride he may have once had. He's probably training like Rocky Balboa with the raw eggs and pucnching side of beef and all.
I give it to ken, and quickly at that.
yea ok buddy i might listen to you, if oyu didnt have if ur name didnt say randyspankstito...u obv hate tito..lets be neutral here
Haha, dude also called him both Frank and Ken during that post. But it did make sense other than the Frank parts. :laugh:
Im really worried this is gonna be like a Rocky story were Ken does the impossible and beats Tito. It has all the makings for it. I still picked Tito tho
I would love to see Ken go in there and make light work of Tito, but....... not happening :thumbsdown:
noone i stakin about this fight..yea Tito killed Ken last time, but their first fight was one of my favorites and Ken can take alot of punishment...so i think this fight could be fun to watch
It's hard to see Tito losing, but Ken could easily take it if Tito makes a bad mistake. I'm gonna lean toward Tito, though.
Titos cocky Ken has more to prove and this could be his last chance to do it. I always say spirit gose further than skill and ken has more spirit and purpous this time.
Tito TKO Round 1.
I don't see Ken even making past the first round. He seems intent on letting Tito take him down, and pound on his face.

Full Product Description
Since before time, God has placed something on the inside of you that has been locked up for far too long! You were born for greatness and the inborn drive in you must be released for that greatness to manifest. In Instinct, a powerful and revolutionary investment of knowledge by Bishop T D Jakes, you will be guided along the path to discovering what you do instinctively as you learn to get into a quiet place and hear about what God has placed in you.

Now is not the time to lower your perspective.

Wash. Times again baselessly fearmongers over repeal of DADT
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
In a November 18 editorial titled, "Barack's Brokeback barracks," The Washington Times again baselessly fearmongered that "[m]ilitary personnel whose religious beliefs conflict with the LGBT agenda will find themselves no longer welcome in the military" if the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law is repealed.
From the Times' editorial:
The unchecked leaks conceal the larger problem with the working-group effort, which has focused not on whether the 1993 law regarding homosexuals in the military - usually called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" - should be repealed, but how a repeal should be implemented. As sources in the military "listening sessions" have stated in letters to The Washington Times, working-group members have promoted the Obama administration's social revolution from the top down. Military personnel whose religious beliefs conflict with the LGBT agenda will find themselves no longer welcome in the military. Even if the 70 percent number were accurate, that would imply nearly a third of the troops would be on the unwanted list.

OT/ Kudos to the Mids
I know they lost the game, but they Never gave up! I love to watch the academy teams play, because they bring everything they have - they're winners in the purest sense of the word! I thought the game was over with 2:30 to play. I was under cover when the rains came, and was ready to depart the stadium when they began their comeback. I bet the ND coach was kicking himself for not going for that field goal when he had the chance late in the game - he too thought the game was over, and did not want to run the score up. Nice gesture; but the Mids were still looking to win the game!

My new pear tree
is blooming like crazy! We just planted it in October. Its about 7 feet tall and only has maybe 6 little limbs. Now I know we are going to have to pinch off most of the blooms because the little branches cant handle the weight.
It is just so cute, I'll try to get a picture of it, and the name of what it is. I'm so excited.. someday I'll have pears.Pine trees, with their needles pointing up to heaven, represent everlasting light and life.

I can't wait until we have our own property. I miss having fresh pears in the summer. We do have a cherry tree, peach tree, apple trees, and a crabapple tree that are beautiful when they are blooming.

State senate passes minimum wage bill - with a catch
There are 17 comments on the KOB-TV New Mexico story from Mar 4, 2013, titled State senate passes minimum wage bill - with a catch. In it, KOB-TV New Mexico reports that:
The bill would raise the state minimum wage a dollar an hour - up to $8.50 - but it doesn't cover businesses with ten or fewer employees.

I wonder what the malt shop thinks of this<G>?
I don't have a problem with the minimum wage in general, as long as it is understood that raising wages is not the proper cure for the economic woes of this nation, state, county and city! Continuing to raise them in and of itself will do more harm than good as more workers will be let go to compensate for others - this is a generality, not a specific.
People like to bash business, and in some cases it is justified - however let us remember that it is business who employs people. Without business there are no jobs, unless you subscribe to Obamanomics where nobody needs a job.

I think it is a great idea. Will take everyone out of poverty and we will all benefit from feasting on the minimum wage. The economy, after all is static, and we have enough jobs. Just pay everyone more and everything will correct.
#7 Mar 10, 2013
Yep there you have it - all the Socialist Progressive Libtards in the State Legislature
just don't get it.
You can't raise everyone up so easiest way is
to tear everyone down to the same level.
This is right in keeping with the Dumb as crap
party platform of leveling the playing field for
everyone- they just don't get it.
Pie in the sky thoughts that will never ever be
reality - but better to destroy a society trying
to attain the unattainable then to try to uplift
people and make them accountable for themselves.

But those with 10 employees or less are exempt. Good thinking. Those businesses will exploit their workers and not hire above 10 employees. They will be the underclass.

#12 Mar 11, 2013
there is nothing unusual or new about having a minimum wage. The fact that it hasn't gone up in years indicates nothing except how thoroughly the influence of those on the top has been able to keep more of the fruits of everyone else's labor to themselves as productivity has grown. A higher minimum wage reduces the need for dependency and public programs.

The government has a right to set a minimum wage. It has the right to tell an employer what that minimum wage they pay their employees must be. It should not be a competitive market set by the greedy and unscrupulous teabaggers. The government has every right to effect economic growth in this sector. The government will just have to be sure that it doesn't encourage those irresponsible and hard-hearted employers to illegally circumvent the law. And to be sure that illegals are not hired and exploited for below minimum wage.
It increases tax revenues to the state and federal governments. It increases gross tax receipts to the state as prices for goods and services rises. What is not to like about that.
And there is no good economic data on the beneficial effects of raising the minimum wage. Seems that it is Not a clear cut positive. It actually impacts negatively the people at the minimum wage level and especially teenagers. But, we can speculate that this is just because so many employers are exploitative and once the government steps in the correction to the economy and increase in employment will prove those naysayers wrong.

Unions have to love this. Except for the exempting employers with 10 or less employees, it is great to have it legislated and also voted on. Talk about a lobby. Let's vote for whether we get a raise? Just like in Congress. Take it to the people and they will vote themselves from the largess of the treasury. What is not to like about that?
Just interesting what is allowed to come to the ballot and vote and what is reserved for the legislators. Clever.

[MLS: Playoff Push] The Vancouver Whitecaps' slow start had some demanding a coaching change, but then Brazilian Camilo got hot. He's just one reason, however, why the 'Caps find themselves in the Western Conference's top five with 11 games to play.
Record: 10-7-6
First 10: 3-4-3
Last 10: 6-2-2
THE STORY SO FAR. After a seven-game winless run in early spring that whipped up plenty of angst amongst fans and media, the Whitecaps have won eight of 14 to climb into
the playoff sector. They are embroiled in a regional playoff battle from which all three, or perhaps only one, of the Northwest triad might emerge.
MOVES. DP forward Kenny Miller signed a six-month extension last month, and defender Andy O'Brien agreed to
a one-year contract extension last week. Danish keeper David Ousted, who joined the team in late June, made his home debut last week in a 2-0 victory over San
STYLE POINTS. Camilo's class has been apparent since he first set foot in MLS, but he's
grown into a goalscorer this season: tied for first on the leaderboard with 14 goals. Miller has quieted his critics – and they've been many and loud for much of his MLS stint – by
scoring seven goals. Nigel Reo-Coker has brought ample doses of brawn and speed to the midfield, and Russell Teibert,
who had zero assists in his first 15 MLS games the past two seasons, leads the team with eight assists in the same amount of matches this year.
Head coach Martin Rennie must solidify his defense to keep Vancouver on a playoff course. Goalkeeping by committee -- Ousted, Brad Knighton and Joe Cannon -- has produced only four shutouts, and none of the centerbacks has played more than 17 games. Injured captain Jay DeMerit is training intensely and should be ready by the end of the month.
FINAL ANSWER. Tied for second place
with Colorado, the Caps are only two points ahead of sixth-place Seattle. Vancouver plays three of its last 10 games against the Rapids, starting with a Saturday game on the road, where it is 2-6-3
this season.

Panzer General Allied Assault Review
1 comment:
- Rob said...
Great little game. I had been eagerly awaiting this game since it was announced. I love a good light tactical war game and am a huge Memoir '44 fan. This game is clearly from that mold, but with its own twists (and as you mentioned a smaller board). I haven't played Manouevre so I can't compare to that. I agree though, proceeding through combat can be excruciatingly slow. I hope this game succeeds and they add some Japanese/Russian/British expansions. If it does succeed I'd love to see Days of Wonder take notice and put Memoir on Xbox Live, though I won't hold my breath. Also, I'm assuming that the Tide Of Iron conversion that was announced ages ago has been scrapped.

Still no clear gov't policy on New River Triangle
No clear government policy has yet been articulated as it relates to possible activities at the New River Triangle in southern Guyana.
There have been calls for government to clarify its position after the debacle involving Muri Brasil Ventures Inc, which wanted to search for rare earths in the area and the mixed messages coming from officialdom on a policy for the use of the resources in the New River Triangle area.
Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Robert Persaud did not immediately respond to queries from Stabroek News yesterday while Commissioner of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) Rickford Vieira said that there is "no policy on mining in general" and nothing has come to him as it relates to the New River Triangle.
"I am not aware that any policy position has been articulated," spokesman for the main opposition coalition APNU Joe Harmon told Stabroek News when contacted. As it relates to the use of the New River Triangle, he was supportive of "non-invasive" activities such as surveys and research. "I believe we need to have a sense of the state of affairs in our country," he said while noting that leaving the area untouched would be denying an opportunity for anything that could be done there.
However, as it relates to extractive activities, Harmon said that there needs to be a transparent process, where the stakeholders are involved and there are wide consultations. The natural resources of the country should not be given out in a way that is not transparent, he said. "I think that the process should be transparent."
The National Assembly and other stakeholders should be involved, he noted. "They should have at least some say in the way our natural resources should be distributed," he said while pointing out that the resources are finite and future generations have to be considered.
In terms of a policy for rare earths, Harmon noted that it is another natural resource. "The more expensive the natural resource, it means the more scrutiny we ought to have over it," he said. Secret deals are not the way to go, Harmon asserted, saying that the nation should have some notice of any transaction that could happen and the way it will be proceeded with.
There had been mixed messages from officialdom on a policy for the use of the resources in the New River Triangle area. In January, Muri, following weeks of intense scrutiny of the propriety of it being granted permission for geographical and geophysical surveys in the New River Triangle, announced that it would no longer be pursuing the project, citing misinformation, prejudice and hostility. It had been granted permissions to survey for rare earth elements, bauxite, limestone, nephelene, syenite, gold, and diamond and granite stones.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment had been criticised for even considering an agreement for survey work in the New River Triangle, not only because of the rich biodiversity and ecologically-sensitive characteristics of the area but also because of the border security risk it posed.
Prior to the pullout and following weeks of silence on whether or not there was an official policy on mining in the New River Triangle area, Minister of Transport Robeson Benn gave the most definitive statement when he told the press that the denial of Muri's application for an airstrip was in keeping with government's policy of no mining in the New River Triangle.
Prior to that Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr Roger Luncheon had said that former president Bharrat Jagdeo had overruled members of the Cabinet and favoured a position that mineral extractive activity could take place.
There was more controversy over answers given by Persaud. The Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA), which has been vocal on this and other issues that impact on the environment and human wellbeing, said the Natural Resources Minister misled them during a meeting. The GHRA made the claim after it had a chance to peruse the terms and conditions of the Muri PGGS, especially the clause guaranteeing Muri the right to apply and be granted up to 18 prospecting licences upon the satisfying of a number of conditions.
At a meeting with the GHRA in November, Minister Persaud sought to assure that there was going to be no mining east of New River. However, after these assurances were given, the agreement between the GGMC and Muri containing a clause compelling GGMC to provide a maximum of 18 prospecting licences in the said New River for a variety of minerals surfaced.
At a meeting last month, former executive secretary of the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association Edward Shields called on the government to set up a joint committee to re-examine what it was that had been agreed upon for the use of the New River Triangle during the Forbes Burnham years. He said that since there is new leadership in the country the issue of what might have been agreed to post independence should be revisited in interest of the country and its people. "I think we should revisit whatever had been agreed to. We have new leadership now," said Shields.
"We would like to have a definitive statement on that area. Can there be any development there whether it is mining, agriculture or forestry?" he had asked.

Diane Ravitch, a research professor of education at New York University and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, will be the opening Keynote Speaker at the NAESP 2012 Annual Conference, March 22-24, in Seattle. An outspoken advocate for public schools and author of the recently published book, The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education (2010), Ravitch's presentation will address the quandary: "Will School Reform Improve the Schools?"
The following Q and A previews some of the ideas that she will address.
Q. You've written that schools need stability and consistency in how they are managed and organized. Could you elaborate on that concept?
A. Stability is very important for schools, just as it is for children, families, and communities. Constant churn makes it difficult for students and teachers to exert their best efforts and to build a community of learners. These days, the "reform" movement seems to believe that American education is so terrible that it must be torn apart and reorganized, something that is called "creative destruction." Turmoil is harmful to the process of teaching and learning. It is hard for me to understand why anyone thinks this is "creative." Usually it is just destruction and upheaval by poorly informed noneducators, leading to demoralization of teachers and principals.
Q. How should principals be evaluated?
A. Principals should be evaluated by wise and experienced superintendents who regularly oversee the physical and academic climate of their schools. They should be evaluated by attention to the graduation rate and the retention rate of their school. They should be evaluated by their ability to recruit and retain good teachers. If there is high teacher turnover, that's a trouble sign. Principals should help and support their staff, making sure that teachers have the mentoring they need and opportunities to recharge their intellectual passions. They should be responsible for maintaining a full and balanced curriculum of studies, providing opportunities for all students to engage in the arts, sciences, foreign languages, and other subjects. Their schools should be spotlessly clean, cheerful, and welcoming, while exuding a seriousness of purpose about learning.
Q. What should principals do as catalysts for school reform or improvement?
A. I would prefer to use the term "improvement" rather than "reform." These days, reform has become synonymous with competition, charters, performance pay, and other schemes imported unthinkingly from the business world. Education thrives on collaboration, mutual support, and inspiration.
The role of the principal is to guide, protect, lead, and inspire his or her staff, and in turn to make sure that the students have the resources, curriculum, and programs they need. It is a very demanding and difficult job that requires a leader who can simultaneously work harmoniously with parents, teachers, other staff, and children. The idea that a noneducator can be trained in a year or two to step into this demanding job is one of the misguided innovations of our time. Principals should have a history as an excellent teacher so they can help their teachers and evaluate them appropriately by observation and regular engagement.

WRAPUP 1-Grainger beats estimates, Fastenal falls short
* Fastenal sales down 14 pct, Grainger sales dip 12 pct
* Fastenal EPS $0.33 misses estimates of $0.34/shr
* Grainger adj EPS $1.26 beats estimates of $1.06/shr
* Grainger shares up 8 pct, Fastenal down 3 pct
April 14 (Reuters) - U.S. industrial distributor W.W. Grainger Inc (GWW.N: Cotización) reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings, while rival Fastenal Co (FAST.O: Cotización) fell short of market estimates by a penny.
Shares of Grainger rose 8 percent to $83.32, while those of Fastenal were down 3 percent at $36.97.
Sales at both the companies saw a double-digit decline as recession-wary customers cut down on their buying activities.
"We do not believe that we have seen the bottom to the sales decline and expect increased pricing pressure throughout the remainder of the year," Grainger Chief Executive Jim Ryan said in a statement.
The companies have taken a number of measures to curtail costs.While Grainger is on track to cut about 300 to 400 jobs this year, Fastenal has gone slow on store openings and has stopped adding headcount except at store openings and for stores that are growing. Continuación...

Posted by Lindsey Colella on January 28, 2013
In a new report out today, my colleague Sarah Rotman Epps writes about the emerging but limited market for fitness wearables like the Nike+ FuelBand and the Jawbone UP. The report finds that only 4% of US online adults, or about 8 million consumers, fit a target profile predictive of buying a fitness wearable. Why so few? It turns out that mainstream consumers' attitudes are very different from the health-conscious tech optimists buying these products today.
A few months back, we set out to understand how mainstream consumers feel about these devices using our Market Research Online Community (MROC) of 1,500 general US online consumers. As I'm using a wearable health-tracking device, I was excited to learn whether these consumers saw the same value that I saw in these innovative products.
Well, they don't. In fact, "excited" isn't even in their vocabulary when it comes to wearable devices. "Waste of money" was more how they described them.
Consumers feel that they know what to do to maintain a healthy lifestyle and use the concept of "moderation" to monitor their health, rather than fancy devices. In general, though, they lack self-awareness of their own unhealthy habits, they don't feel accountable for their own health, and they expect their primary care doctor to monitor their well-being over the long term. Their perception is that wearable devices are for people who are chronically ill, need help with weight loss, or have obsessive personalities.
Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on January 28, 2013
Sensor-laden wearable devices, with their unique ability to capture data generated by the body, are important components of a larger phenomenon we call "smart body, smart world." Use cases for wearables could extend to anything from navigation to shopping to social networking to productivity. One scenario in particular – health and fitness – has inspired a
number of wearable devices that launched in 2012 like the Nike+ FuelBand, the Basis smartwatch, and the (relaunched) Jawbone UP. These new products spur the questions: Can the market support this many wearable fitness products, and who should these products target?

Canadian Rockies Record
Thirteen John Muir Medical Center-Concord volunteers took a moment during a fundraising trip to the Canadian Rockies last summer to catch up with the community news in the Pleasant Hill/Martinez Record at the Municipal Gardens in Banff Springs. The weeklong visit included Glacier National Park in Montana, a drive along the Icefields Parkway and a ride onto the Columbia Glacier in a huge ice explorer, and a gondola trip to the top of Sulphur Mountain. On the trip were, front row, from left, Mary McDonald, Mary Ann Halvorson, Joyce Zulaica and Belinda Espinosa; middle row, Nita Marchitiello, Helen Caves and Jeannette Iamele; and back row, Marilyn Sandstrom, Gail Lewis, Nancy Miller, Phillis Neitling, Leonard Caves and Alfred Iamele. Proceeds from the trip benefit the Volunteers Special Projects Fund for the medical center.
It doesn't matter if your time away is spent across San Francisco Bay or across the country — remember to pack the Record to keep up with news of the community, and then show your neighbors where you have been.

An important notice about accessibility:

We regret to inform you that due to circumstances beyond our control, the venue for this year's Canzine will not be wheelchair-accessible. It was our understanding that the venue would be made accessible by the time of Canzine, but funding issues within the venue caused this not to happen. We were unable to find an alternative venue in the short timeframe after this was revealed. We care about accessibility issues here at Broken Pencil, and we are dedicated to creating a safe, all-inclusive space for Canzine. We apologize wholeheartedly and assure you all that, though it is too late for us to change venues for Canzine 2011, we are entirely committed to creating a fully accessible Canzine 2012, whether it be through assisting 918 Bathurst in raising funds to update their space or finding a new space.

 Volunteers Needed

Attention friendly indie loving folks everywhere! We need volunteers to help out at Canzine (setting up the night before and doing all kinds of stuff the day of). Volunteers get a whole bundle of free magazine subscriptions from cool Canadian magazines including Broken Pencil. But don't do it for the free stuff, do it for the love. If you would like to volunteer at Canzine please email firstname.lastname@example.com

Issue 102, September/October 2000
There are four categories of federal safety regulations that apply to teddy bears made and sold in America. There are zero that apply to guns. — Pax
"Well that can't be true," said my husband. "You have to have a license to own a gun, for example. Isn't that a federal law?" We had just returned home to Brooklyn from Washington, DC, where we had joined 750,000 other parents, children, and friends in the successful Million Mom March, held on Mother's Day, May 14. My husband is not alone in his confusion about firearms and the law. There is very little clarity about the topic and not much that makes sense. In fact, the average person, even one who has just attended a march to end gun violence, is likely to be surprised when discovering the truth. There is no federal law, for instance, that requires gun owners to have a license, and in many parts of our country, there is no state requirement either. Yet the pain of innocent victims' families is borne by our society every day.
"It's so hard for me to say I will never hold her again, she will never get married or have children," said Veronica McQueen, the mother of six-year-old Kayla, shot in her classroom in Michigan by another six year old in February 2000. Spoken with unbelievable bravery by a woman who had lost her small daughter only last February 29, McQueen's words were mind-numbing–her pain so inconceivable I almost couldn't think about it. I stood in the midst of a weeping crowd and felt thankful that my own four-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Adelaide, was sitting safely with her dad and our friends on a blanket under a nearby tree.
I met, face to heart-breaking face, women who had come in groups to the march with a common bond: each had lost a child to a gunshot. Looking into the eyes of these women as they told their stories was an incredible experience.
"My son, Greg, was shot in the chest trying to protect my sister on Labor Day 1996, when he was 24," Debra Lampole of Butler, Pennsylvania, told me during the rally portion of the march. Standing only 3 feet away from her, I could actually feel her tired grief, and, for a moment, I could not push the possibility of losing my own child to violence out of my head. On average, 12 other women like Debra will lose a child today, 12 more tomorrow, the next day, and so on.
There's no question that the Million Mom March's message–to apply common sense to our gun laws and protect our children–was heard. Attended by more than double the expected number and conducted with peace and superb organization, it accomplished its mission easily and elegantly. The spirit in the air on that blessedly clear and comfortable morning was palpable.
The Million Mom March was most remarkable, however, for its success at bringing together people who have many different ideas about what it means to own a gun. Certainly many attendees, such as myself, do not own a gun and have no desire to ever do so. Many others think that gun ownership itself is not a problem and just want that ownership, and the guns themselves, to be more strictly regulated.
As parents with a common goal–keeping our children safe–we have to contend with these differences in beliefs about guns and the very confusing variations in gun laws from state to state, or even, in some places, from town to town. Our biggest roadblock, however, is our own ignorance about what is regulated in the first place. Most of us do not know just how much freedom the gun industry and potential gun owners really have. Here follows a gun primer.
Regulating People, Regulating Products
First, the gun issue is really two separate issues. There is the matter of regulating the people who buy and use guns, and there is the issue of regulating the products–the guns, and the industry which manufactures them. Gun owners are subject to the licensing and registration laws of their state, if it has any such laws at all–35 states do not.
Furthermore, there is absolutely no federally controlled system of licensing or registration for gun owners at this time. The closest thing we have to this is the Brady Law, which requires a potential gun buyer to undergo a background check to ensure they are not a convicted criminal.
The Brady Law has prevented more than 400,000 convicted felons from purchasing a gun, according to Talmage Cooley, the co-executive director of The Movement to End Gun Violence (PAX), a nonprofit organization that is devoted to increasing public awareness of the gun violence problem and one of the organizers of the Million Mom March. "Unfortunately, though, there are all kinds of loopholes in the Brady Law," he says. "One of the biggest problems is gun shows in which your mentally insane and crack-addicted neighbor, the felon, can just pop in and purchase a weapon if he feels like it."
Gun shows and Internet sales represent a significant loophole, because only gun dealers, who must be licensed by federal law, are required to submit background checks. In many states, however, collectors–or any other individuals–may sell guns at a gun show, or to a neighbor, without being required to conduct any kind of check.
In addition, the Brady Law also has other loopholes. In Florida (and perhaps soon in other states) a person with a concealed weapons license isn't required to submit to a background check. In some places, getting such a license requires so few checks that a convicted criminal could technically purchase a firearm quite easily. Federally controlled licensing and registration and mandatory safety training are examples of possible future legislation that would regulate gun owners more strongly.
Kristen Rand, the director of federal policy for the Violence Policy Center, an organization that conducts research on all aspects of firearms use, is one individual who does not favor more legislation aimed at gun owners. While she does think it's important to try to expand the Brady Law so that all gun sales–not just those done through a dealer–are subject to background checks, she believes the focus needs to be more on the gun industry itself.
"We'd argue that the bigger problem is that the gun industry is unregulated. Every other product in America, from automobiles to household items and food, is regulated by some governmental industry. The gun industry is exempt from basic health and safety regulations," Rand says.
In fact, according to Rand, most gun violence is not perpetrated by criminals. Suicides, homicides committed by a friend or family member, and firearms accidents account, by far, for the largest percentage of gun deaths and injuries. None of these users would necessarily be screened out by a licensing system or a background check. "In reality gun violence is a public health problem," she insists. "We know from how we have reduced product-related deaths in other areas, such as household products, that the way to do it is to focus on the industry–change the product and restrict the availability of certain types of products that are shown to present an unreasonable risk of injury."
Talmage Cooley agrees with this. "It's phenomenal that the most dangerous product a consumer can purchase in this country is the only one that is completely exempt from safety regulations," he observes. Manufacturing defects alone account for a large portion of serious injuries and deaths, resulting from the use of firearms. One popular rifle, for example, can go off by itself without the trigger being pulled. Gun dealers aren't required by law to address these defects or to recall their products.
Because there isn't an agency with regulatory authority over the gun industry, it's even possible for manufacturers to find loopholes in the ban on assault weapons. Certain add-ons and accoutrements can make simpler guns as dangerous as assault or fully automatic weapons. Fifty-caliber sniper rifles, originally designed as anti-tank devices, are capable of shooting down an airplane from the sky and can now be purchased for under $1,500.
How has it come to pass that we expect the government to regulate the safety of toasters but not firearms? In the 1970s, when the Consumer Product Safety Commission was created, legislators such as John Dingle, a Michigan Democrat and NRA supporter, refused to support the creation of the agency unless guns were exempt from its authority.
"If there were not the ability for an industry to spend extraordinary amounts of money to affect the positions of legislators on all levels, we wouldn't have the gun violence problem that we have today," says Cooley. "Because with 80 to 90 percent of the people in this country agreeing on all the commonsense legislative measures we support, legislators would be falling all over themselves to be the first person to claim victory for the American people if they weren't catching so much flack and money on the other side from the NRA."
The Firearms Safety and Consumer Protection Act is one piece of legislation currently being proposed that specifically addresses the lack of regulation over the gun industry. This bill would expand the powers of the secretary of the treasury to regulate the manufacture, distribution, and sale of guns and ammunition along with other firearm-related products.
Until some tough legislation is realized, however, we have to face the following scary statistics:
Every day 12 children die from gun wounds.
Guns kill more kids in the US than all natural causes combined.
A gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a friend or family member than an intruder.
Taxpayers pay more than $20 billion annually in medical bills, lost productivity, and other costs of gun violence.
And this very frightening fact:
Nearly two out of three children in grades three to six say they could "get a gun if they wanted." Nearly 35 percent say it would take less than an hour.
In our country, we also tend to forget how many aspects of immaturity do not just disappear at the magical ages of 18 and 21.
When I was 19 years old, I came home over a college break to visit my family in Kansas. One afternoon my mother left the house to go grocery shopping, leaving me and my 17-year-old brother, Marty, to supervise our 11-year-old brother, Malcolm.
Marty had recently sorted through a pile of his belongings still boxed up from my family's recent move from Connecticut. Among these items were two World War II rifles that had been hanging for years on the walls of his bedroom back East, found originally at garage sales. A new friend of his had just given him some rifle cartridges.
"Let's put these in the guns and see what happens," he said.
"Those old guns don't work," I argued.
Despite my skepticism, the three of us took the rifles and the ammunition out to the rear balcony, which overlooked my parents' secluded backyard, complete with a brand-new bright green lawn. He loaded one of the guns, aimed it at the lawn, and pulled the trigger.
The rifle shot with a powerful roar and lots of smoke, making adrenaline surge through my body and my youngest brother grab my arm.
The three of us looked at the grass below in total disbelief. The crater which marked the house's new lawn was a good 18 inches wide and several inches deep. We raced below and patched it quickly, transplanting some grass from the lawn's edge so that my parents never knew what we had done.
My story isn't a tragedy, but it could have been. Now that I'm a mom myself, I tremble to think of what we did and how easily it might have gone awry. Who knew my brother had decorated his bedroom for years with lethal weapons? Back then, parents did not discourage children from a routine fascination with guns. These days many parents do discourage their children from such a fascination and may prohibit toy guns of any kind in their homes, even a squirt gun. Unfortunately, though, many do not; in fact, many do the opposite, fostering a mystique and romance about weapons.
When I was 19 and played around with a couple of antique guns, I still thought, on some level, I was immortal. It takes much more living–and the pain that goes with it–to realize what finality really is. It takes having a child of your own and witnessing the deaths of loved ones to comprehend fully how precious the life of a child is. As adults we are responsible for all of those 19 year olds and, especially, the ones much younger. Until they can think for themselves, we have to do whatever we can to make it easier.
Does this mean a loss of freedom and "rights" for them or for the adults who wish to own guns without restriction? "Regulating guns isn't taking away anyone's freedom," says Debra Lampole, the Pennsylvania mother I interviewed at the Million Mom March.
"The guy who shot him took away my son's freedom, took away his life. He had a right to live."

Lorain, Ohio, Southview forward Alexandra Harris has narrowed her list to three schools and will visit the University of Louisville on Sept. 15.
The 6-foot-3 Harris, who is ranked No. 46 in the country by HoopGurlz.com, will also visit Penn State (Sept. 1) and Michigan (Sept. 8).
"Everybody has a shot right now," Harris' AAU coach Kevin McNamara said. "Penn State has been on her the longest, but all three schools have a shot.
"Louisville is the most recent interest. Coach (Cameron) Newbauer was recruiting her at Georgia when she was a freshman. So, she and I both have a great relationship with coach Newbauer and when he got to Louisville, he started recruiting her."
Harris, who averaged 12 points and 15 rebounds as a junior, played the post for her high school team last season and a face-up four for her AAU team. McNamara said she would play the point guard position in high school next season.
McNamara said the biggest comment he gets from college coaches about Harris is "how she is going to be such a better college player. The words they say is that her ceiling is out of control."
According to McNamara, Harris has been in touch with another U of L top target Emmonie Henderson – since the two prospects played against each other during an event in Louisville last month.
Harris also has "really good bloodlines," according to McNamara. She has several uncles and other relatives who have played ball. Her cousin, Raymont Harris, played running back at Ohio State and then spent six years in the NFL.
Cardinal Authority will keep up with Harris.

The Z-Pak Antibiotic Can Kill Adults
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
The New England Journal of Medicine has reported that the popular antibiotic azithromycin, often given as a five-day treatment regimen known as the Z-Pak, increases the risk of sudden cardiac death in adults by 250 percent or any cause of death by 200 percent. In 2011 U.S. doctors wrote 55. 3 million prescriptions for this antibiotic, with sales of $464.6 million.
I often ask people, "What is the first word that comes into your mind when you think of the word, 'antibiotic?'" The correct answer should be poison. If an antibiotic actually gets the job done, it works by poisoning bacteria to death. Due to decades-long overuse of antibiotics by the medical profession, it now requires 50 times the dose of poison to kill bacteria compared to when antibiotics first came on the market.
The Z-Pak is popular because it is given as a five-day treatment, compared to 10 days for many other antibiotics. Obviously, it has to be more poisonous.
"We use azithromycin for an awful lot of things, and we abuse it terribly," said Dr. John G. Bartlett, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "It's very convenient. Patients love it. 'Give me the Z-Pak.' For most of where we use it, probably the best option is not to give an antibiotic, quite frankly."
The side effects of the increasing toxicity of antibiotics make them a remedy of last resort. It is now proven that even one or two rounds of antibiotics can disturb the balance of digestive flora in such a way as to set a person on a life-long struggle with compromised health. The benefits do not outweigh the risks for many common infection situations that are often viral in nature and do not respond to antibiotics.
General fitness, a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and good stress management skills are your basic strategies for healthy immunity. Many nutrients help your immune system work better. They can be used to boost you up when you are around sick people, at the onset of any symptoms, and to help out your immune system during a prolonged battle.
If you do get into a situation when you truly need to take an antibiotic then you need to protect both your digestive tract and cardiovascular system. The basic strategy for your GI tract is friendly flora, taken at a different time of the day than the antibiotic and continued for at least one month following the antibiotic. Other GI support may be needed depending on a person's digestive tract issues and history. Nutrients like grape seed extract and resveratrol are highly protective to the lining of your arteries and can be taken when an antibiotic is in your circulation so as to reduce the risk of the poisonous antibiotic setting off an undesirable inflammatory chain reaction that induces a major cardio event and possible death.
The new study points out that those at the greatest risk for a problem are those with preexisting cardiovascular health problems. However, even children are at risk for antibiotic injury, which in my experience is often damage to their brains and learning ability, in addition to serious digestive disruption. Thus, these suggestions apply to people of any age should they need to use antibiotics.

She wants utopia. She'd prefer to believe that police exist to prevent crimes happening at the moment they're going down, despite being ~5mins+ distant. And she'd prefer to believe that knowingly giving an angry/drunk stranger at midnight the knowledge that one is home alone actually constitutes "security" in her own home, believing instead that having the ability to resist such an intruder if he were to actively seek forcible entry (by having a gun in the house) would be a detriment.
Yup. That's what we're dealing with.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver didn't pull any punches during Tuesday's press conference addressing Donald Sterling's racist comments.
Having confirmed that the man on the recording was indeed the Clippers owner, Silver handed out the harshest punishment possible, giving Sterling a lifetime ban from the NBA, fining him the maximum $2.5 million, and requesting that the NBA Board of Governors force the sale of the team.
Sterling had yet to respond as of the time of publication, and it is unknown to what degree (if any) he will fight the NBA's decision.
It was a strong statement by Silver in his first major decision as David Stern's successor (Stern would be proud, I imagine). The lifetime ban essentially precludes Sterling from being involved at all with his own franchise and the league as a whole, barring him from games, practices, NBA facilities (including the Clippers'), as well as from making any business or personnel decisions.
The decision is even more impactful considering the Los Angeles Clippers have a home playoff game tonight against the Golden State Warriors, with that series tied 2-2. It will be interesting to see how the Clippers respond with their play on the court and whether fans end up attending Game 5 in light of Silver's decision.
What do you think of the decision by Silver and the NBA?

Guzman workout
By Craig Gibson
In his final week before heading to Las Vegas, Joan Guzman held an open workout in Manchester, England yesterday. Fans from all over the country traveled to get a glimpse of one of the fight games most talented stars and were not left disappointed. Guzman spent the first 30 minutes taking some local amateurs through their paces before working the pads with trainer Lee Beard and finishing off on the heavy bag. Speaking to Guzman after the session he stated, "I'm so pleased to be here in England, the fans have been very good to me and I hope one day I can fight over here." When asked about his new training team of Lee Beard and Kerry Kayes, Guzman's face lit up like an excited kid, "I really enjoy working with Lee and Kerry, they work me hard but that is good, I feel in great shape and can't wait to show everyone the real Guzman on fight night."
