Before I begin, let me point out that I'm stealing this idea from Leafydebater, who deserves all of the credit if this becomes a trend here on the Vine. So thanks for letting me follow your lead here... top ten lists are always a blast! Having said that, let's get to it!
One day back when I was thirteen years old, I was having a chat with a girl who lived in my neighborhood about my musical aspirations. I was getting bored playing guitar, and wanted to get into drums. Upon hearing this, she revealed to me that her parents had an old drum set sitting in their basement, untouched for decades. After chatting with her mom about it, I came to learn that I could buy that kit for a measly $25. I rushed home, begged my parents for the money, and charged back to her house, and just like that, I owned my very first drum set, a blue 1960's Slingerland. Since then, I've played drums in several bands, including my current group, Letters of Last Resort. I've never had a single drumming lesson, opting instead to teach myself everything I know today. Well, that's only partially true, really. I did get lessons from some of the greatest drummers of all time, though indirectly; watching videos of live performances, where I patiently studied every hand movement, every drum roll, is how I eventually became a serious drummer. With that in mind, this isn't really a list of the greatest drummers, so much as it's a list of my favorite drummers; the drummers who had the biggest impact on my personal playing style. There will be some very big names in percussion excluded from this list, because their styles never appealed to me, or they were too technical for me to identify their real musical soul. With that out of the way, let's do the list!
10. Matt Johnson: Whenever I tell people that Matt Johnson is on my list of the greatest drummers, they always cock their head sideways and say "uh, who?" Matt Johnson played drums with Jeff Buckley, most notably on the song Grace, which contains some of the greatest drumming you'll ever hear.
9. Dave Grohl: I was never much of a Nirvana fan. I passively enjoyed some of their music, but I could never really get into it much. In those days, I was too busy listening to the absurdly original music coming out of England to care what was happening here in the states, which led me to become a bit of a musical outcast in my clique of friends. But there was one reason I bought Nirvana's albums, and one reason only, and it had nothing to do with their music. It was all about Dave Grohl. His percussion style was easily identifiable, to me anyway, as being one of the most incredible of any act that came out around that time.
8. Steve Shelley: As the drummer of Sonic Youth, Shelley's style was as unique as it was gifted. Sometimes leading a beat with toms instead of hats or a cymbal bell, Steve Shelley has a very special, technical style that really defined that genre's percussion for me.
7. Phil Selway: Phil Selway's contributions to Radiohead are often overlooked, but his fantastically meticulous timing and technical prowess allowhim to drop calculated, perfectly-orchestrated complexities into Radiohead's music at all of the right moments, adding another million or so layers to the music of the one band that really single-handedly defines the phrase "art rock."
6. Ginger Baker: His work in Cream really stood out as being phenomenal, even with the legendary Eric Clapton sharing the stage with him. Someone once told me that "a drummer who doesn't appreciate Baker is a bad drummer, there's no way around it."
5. Mitch Mitchell: Mitchell's backing drumming for Jimi Hendrix is rarely pin-pointed for the tremendous contribution it made to the music at hand. Mitchell was sharply technical while also being firmly inventive, traits that few drummers possess.
4. Tim "Herb" Alexander: As the drummer of Primus, Tim Alexander might just be the greatest "roller" in the history of drumming. I'll never forget the first time I heard their song "Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats." Early on in the song, Alexander rolls with ungodly, superhuman speed, and I'll never forget playing that few seconds of the song over and over again while trying to emulate it, an effort that would inevitably prove futile.
3. Stewart Copeland: Copeland, the drummer of The Police, was hugely inspirational to me well before I started playing drums. Even as a guitarist, I found Copeland's impeccable timing, layered and brutally complex percussive style, and fearlessly casual simultaneous exploration of different percussion genres as influential as anything I could have learned watching some of my guitar influences.
2. Keith Moon: Often referred to by his infamous nickname, "Moon the Loon," Keith Moon had an explosively creative and extraordinarily inventive playing style that blasted you in the face with his style. He played every square millimeter of his kit, leaving nothing untouched as he formulated his monumental rhythms. The Who was one of those rare bands that had exceptionally-gifted musicians in every corner of the stage, each perfectly qualified to take center stage whenever it was needed or desired. Keith Moon certainly made that possible, and no other band tops The Who for having that ability, with one single exception... Led Zeppelin. Speaking of which...
1. John Bonham: Without question or contest, John "Bonzo" Bonham thunders his way into the #1 spot on this list. Bonham's thunderous playing was the nuclear reactor that powered Led Zeppelin, arguably the greatest rock and roll act of all time. His incredible speed with a single bass drum pedal easily tops any number of drummers who use two. His infamous "Bonzo Shuffle" is probably the most identifiable percussion signature in history. Watching Led Zeppelin's live performance film The Song Remains the Same taught me more about drumming than anything else, and if it weren't for John Bonham, I probably never would have picked up a pair of sticks.

It's been quite the season of ups and downs as 2012 has not disappointed. Northwestern remains untouched and on top of the polls as Syracuse, North Carolina, Florida and Maryland are chomping at the bit to take over the No. 1 spot. A host of squads have emerged as forces to be reckoned with this spring, as Notre Dame, Penn State and Ohio State continue to climb the charts. Ivy League power Penn is joined by Cornell on top of the ancient eight.
A number of players are having record-breaking seasons in the Division I ranks. A cast of new characters have joined the usual suspects as reigning All Americans and hopefuls, alike, sit on top of their team's leader boards throughout the first half of the season. Here's a list of players that impact their team day in and day out and have also built quite the impressive individual resume as well.
Shannon Smith, Northwestern, Attack (Sr.)
No surprise here, Shannon Smith headlines the first team attacking unit as the reigning Tewaaraton Trophy winner once again leads the No. 1 team in the nation. Until a team can find an answer for Smith, they will not be able to top Northwestern. Smith has the ability to utterly dominate the competition. The All-American and US Team member has her blinders on — national championship or bust.
Michelle Tumolo, Syracuse, Attack (Jr.)
The junior US Team member provides the spark that Syracuse was desperately in search of a year ago. Flourishing in her junior campaign, she has led the Orange to their highest-ever national ranking (2) in program history. The talented lefty can both score and distribute, making her the Orange's biggest threat. The passion she plays with has elevated the level of play for Syracuse in 2012.
Karri Ellen Johnson, Maryland, Attack (Sr.)
Johnson, in her fifth season as a Terrapin, suffered a season-ending concussion last season. The three-time first season All American watched from the sidelines as her team fell to Northwestern in last season's national championship game. The senior attacker has recently come back into her own and is playing like the KEJ coaches feared seasons ago. Johnson leads Maryland in points and draw controls this season.
Alayna Markwordt, Ohio State, Attack (Sr.)
The senior attacker is arguably the best player to ever come through Ohio State's program. The leader of the Buckeye's attack for the past three seasons once again sits on top of the leader board in her senior campaign. OSU has come out on fire this season and has proven they are a team not to be overlooked. Markwordt's impact is game-changing for the Buckeyes.
Katie Schwarzmann, Maryland, Midfield (Jr.)
The Tewaaraton Trophy nominee from a season ago continues to be a force in 2012. The lightning fast midfielder does it all for the Terrapins. A top notch defensive player, a hard-nose middie and a top threat offensively, the junior All American leads Maryland in goals. Schwarzmann headlines what is arguably the top midfield lineup in the nation.
Kim Wenger, Duke, Midfield (Sr.)
Wenger does it all for Duke as she truly embodies the term "utility player". One of the top 1v1 defenders each time she steps on the field, the senior middie ranks second on her team in points and is as solid as they get through the midfield.
Laura Zimmerman, North Carolina, Midfield (Sr.)
Zimmerman, a reigning All American and US Team member, has moved into more of an offensive role for the Tar Heels this season. Tied for first on the team in points, Zimmerman's a solid midfielder who has the ability to score in clutch situations. The speedy midfielder sparks transition for UNC and is extremely solid between the 30s.
Taylor Thornton, Northwestern, Midfield/Defense (Jr.)
Arguably the most athletic player in the nation, Thornton virtually does it all for No. 1 Northwestern. Moving into more of an offensive role for the Wildcats in addition to being arguably the nation's top defender, the junior has flourished in her new role this season. Constantly marking up against the competition's top offensive threat, Thornton is able to continually make an impact on the offensive end of the field for Northwestern, too.
Iliana Sanza, Maryland, Defense (Jr.)
Maryland's top defender is thriving in her new role this season. Playing alongside some of the nation's top defenders for the past few seasons, Sanza now leads the Terrapin backline. She has the ability to completely shut out the opposition's top attacker and currently leads her team in ground balls and caused turnovers.
Sam Farrell, Florida, Defense (Jr.)
One of the toughest defensive teams in the nation is led by Florida junior Sam Farrell. Farrell has blanked a number of top attackers so far in 2012 and ranks second on her team in ground balls. The leader of the Gator defensive unit, Farrell & Co. have held all but three teams to under 10 goals this season.
Becca Block, Syracuse, Defense (Jr.)
The speedy defender out of Syracuse leads a team that is making history in 2012. She ranks third on her team in draw controls and anchors a defensive unit that has given up more than ten goals only three times this season. Block's ability to spark Syracuse's transition game continues to set the Orange apart this spring.
Kristen Giovanniello, Dartmouth, Goalkeeper (So.)
The sophomore goalkeeper has followed up her standout rookie season with another impressive resume this spring. She currently ranks third in the nation in save percentage and leads her squad in groundballs. If Dartmouth makes a run at the Ivy League Championship, Giovanniello's play will undoubtedly be behind it.
X-Factor: Ally Carey, Vanderbilt, Midfield (Sr.)
The All-American and US Team member is a do-it-all midfielder type that each coach dreams of having on their team. Carey leads her team in goals, points, draw controls and caused turnovers.
Kitty Cullen, Florida, Attack (Jr.)
The All American's numbers have dropped in 2012, but at no fault of Cullen's. The Gators have become more of a seven-person offensive unit rather than the two-person juggernaut they were a season ago. Cullen is face-guarded more than not and is typically the focal point of each opponent's defensive game plan. Her ability to score under pressure is virtually unmatched.
Emma Hamm, Duke, Attack (Sr.)
The 2011 Tewaaraton Trophy nominee and reigning first team All-American returns for her fifth year as a Duke Blue Devil and once again leads her team in draws, ground balls and caused turnovers. Her offensive output has dropped significantly as rookie Kerrin Maurer has become more and more of a threat. However, she gains extremely valuable possessions for her team and that can't be ignored.
Becky Lynch, North Carolina, Attack (Sr.)
The reigning All-American's points have noticeably decreased with the absence of Corey Donohoe, but Lynch currently is tied for first on the team in points and leads the Tar Heels in assists. Her ability to score in close contests and set up her teammates to do so sets her apart. In addition to being a leader on the attacking end of the field, Lynch also leads the squad in draw controls.
Maggie Tamasitis, Notre Dame, Attack (Sr.)
Maggie Tamasitis has flourished into one of the nation's top quarterback –type attackers in 2012. The Irish attacker's ability to make those around her better is truly extraordinary. Though she has only recorded 13 goals this season, she leads her team with 35 assists.
Tatum Coffey, Penn State, Midfield (Fr.)
The rookie sensation leads her team in goals, draw controls and caused turnovers. Making arguably one of the biggest impacts of any freshman in 2012, her future is looking very bright in State College. The Nittany Lions, one of the nation's biggest surprises thus far this season, boast a powerful, aggressive midfield and Coffey is a main component of that.
Kelly McPartland, Maryland, Midfielder (Fr.)
Another rookie experiencing a breakthrough year, McPartland broke her way into the starting lineup on one of the most talented teams in the nation. Running alongside All American Katie Schwarzmann, McPartland looks nothing like a "freshman" as she plays with the confidence of an upperclassman. On the defensive end of the field, McPartland especially shines. The freshman middie is tied for third on her team in points.
Gabby Capuzzi, Ohio State, Midfield (Sr.)
Whereas classmate Markwordt often steals the show, Capuzzi has flown under the radar as one of the top players in 2012. In addition to her team-leading goals, she also leads the Buckeyes through the midfield. Capuzzi leads OSU in ground balls, draw controls and caused turnovers.
Lacey Vigmostad, Northwestern, Defense (Sr.)
The senior defender has been a jack of all trades during her career in Evanston. With Thornton playing more of an offensive role this season, Vigmostad anchors the backline. She is tied for first on the team in ground balls and is a key markup defender for the 'Cats.
Sloane Serpe, North Carolina, Defense (So.)
During her rookie campaign, Serpe started amongst a talented group of seniors. Now in her second year as a starter for the Tar Heels, Serpe is one of the best 1v1 defenders in Division I lacrosse.
Alex Frank, Northwestern, Midfield/Defense (Sr.)
A two-time All American midfielder, Frank has transitioned into a defender in her final season as a Wildcat. The move has paid off, as she is about as solid as they get on the defensive end. Frank is amongst the squads leaders in ground balls, draw controls and caused turnovers.
Kellye Gallagher, Loyola, Defense (Sr.)
Gallagher is a game-changer. Leading her team in ground balls and caused turnovers, her ability to force turnovers and come up with key possessions sparks the Greyhounds. While Loyola is very young on offense, Gallagher is part of a veteran defensive unit looking to make waves in the Big East.
Brianne LoManto, Northwestern, Goalkeeper (Sr.)
The senior net-minder has had quite the career for Northwestern. Yet another member of a very talented senior class, LoManto has won two national championships. Looking to make it three, her ability to see the field and communicate sets Northwestern apart. Leading a defensive unit that has been remarkable in 2012, LoManto is making a strong case for Goalkeeper of the Year.
X-Factor: Shannon Gilroy, Florida, Midfield (Fr.)
The rookie suffered an ACL tear just a year ago and missed all fall for the Gators. Officially hitting her stride in Gainesville is a huge understatement while expressing how valuable she has become to this Florida team. Cracking her way into the starting lineup, Gilroy is one of the nation's top draw specialists and a force to be reckoned with on attack.
Alyssa Murray, Syracuse, Attack (So.)
Murray has flourished during her sophomore campaign for the Orange. Murray's ability to see the field is very impressive, but it is her scoring ability that sets her apart. When teams key in on Tumolo, Murray is able to step up and put it away. She currently leads the team in goals and points.
Ashley Bruns, Florida, Attack (Jr.)
The All American attacker finds herself amongst a number of Gators who are threats in 2012. A well-rounded attack could be what makes Florida a championship team this year and Bruns is a main component of that. The junior currently leads the team in points.
Erin Brennan, Penn, Attack (Sr.)
The All American attacker is the Quakers leader in goals and assists as she leads one of the nation's toughest teams. Penn, once again the favorite to win the Ivy League, has experienced a series of both ups and downs early in 2012. But, as the season continues to progress, Brennan keeps Penn in the top ten discussion.
Josie Owen, Virginia, Attack (Sr.)
Really making the most of her senior campaign in Charlottesville, Owen has seemingly saved the best for last. The senior attacker leads her team in goals and assists and ranks second on the squad in ground balls and draw controls. Putting Virginia back in the top ten, Josie Owen leads a Cavalier team that could makes waves in the ACC Tournament.
Katie Webster, Syracuse, Midfield (Jr.)
Following up her exceedingly impressive freshman campaign, Webster has continued to emerge as one of the Orange's most lethal threats. She rises to the occasion time and time again and has been key in the Orange's rise to the top. Syracuse's top threat from the midfield, Webster is tied for second on the team in goals and ranks third on the squad in points.
Sarah Plumb, Dartmouth, Midfield (Sr.)
A strong midfielder who has had an exceptional career for the Big Green, Plumb leads Dartmouth in virtually everything. The senior middie finds herself on top of her team is goals, assists, draw controls and caused turnovers in addition to sitting second on the squad in ground balls. Her ability to be a true do-it-all middie for Dartmouth in 2012 has been game-changing.
Nora Barry, Florida, Midfield (Fr.)
The freshman middie has started every game of her career in Gainesville and leads the team between the 30s. One of the fastest midfielders in the country, Barry leads the team in ground balls and fifth in points. Barry has stepped up big for Florida and adds dimension to their midfield unit.
Caroline Helmer, Cornell, Defense (Sr.)
"Cacki" Helmer leads the Big Red, one of this season's Cinderella Story squads, in ground balls and caused turnovers. A standout defender who has had an exceptional career in upstate NY, Helmer and her teammates find themselves right in the thick of things in the Ivy League.
Ana Henneberry, Loyola, Defense (Sr.)
The preseason Big East Defender of The Year has been sensational in 2012. Often marking up against the opposition's toughest matchup, Henneberry is a very solid 1v1 defender. Leading a veteran defensive unit, Ana ranks third on the team in ground balls and second in caused turnovers.
Daniela Eppler, Virginia, Defense (Fr.)
The freshman defender has been very impressive for the 'Hoos this spring. A mainstay in the starting lineup, Eppler's ability to stifle some of the country's top attackers has been extremely valuable for UVa. Eppler also leads the team in draw controls.
Kelly Barnes, Georgetown, Defense (Sr.)
The senior defender has had a successful career in Georgetown as she currently leads her team in ground balls and draw controls. The Hoyas' top 1v1 defender has had her hands full with a number of the nation's elite attackers and has held her own.
Brittany Dipper, Maryland, Goalkeeper (Sr.)
The reigning All-American and National Goalie of The Year doesn't quite have the numbers that she did last year, but she certainly possesses the talent to take her team to the national title game. Dipper's ability to lead one of the toughest defensive units in the nation can't be ignored as Maryland remains one of the heavy favorites to win the ACC.
X-Factor: Kailah Kempney, Syracuse, Attack (Fr.)
The freshman attacker started off the season strong before suffering an early season injury. In just those first three games, Kempney had 20 draw controls. Returning to the lineup this past weekend, she snagged six more. Her ability to gain possession off the draw will only continue to elevate the Orange. Having her back in the lineup makes No. 2 Syracuse even more dangerous.

Earlier this year we covered the title Guns, Gore and Cannoli; an action-packed 2D run 'n gun featuring a mobster working his way through the zombie apocalypse. You can read that article here. Well, that was on PC, and it's now released on XBONE and we were lucky enough to get a review code to see if the console version matches that of its PC counterpart. Let's take a look .. again!
Starting with performance, the game runs great. It's certainly not a last-minute dash to get to another platform. It's clear time and effort has gone into making the game run soundly on whatever platform you choose. The game suits a gamepad incredibly well, with tight, self-intuitive controls. In Heather's article she mentioned she has trouble with the controls, sometimes hitting wrong buttons; I had no such issues!
The quality of the art and other resources is on point also. There's no scaling or compromise in quality; the game looks and feels just as crisp as the PC version. I did experience some loading times higher than I would have expected. Not huge, but enough for it to catch my attention, but it's hardly a problem. The content is well worth the extra few seconds loading. Maybe it's because I'm used to gaming on a PC!
Best of all, the game is priced fairly. The title is currently £6.99 on Steam, so I was expecting a price tag of ~£10 for console, but it's only £7.99. A really nice pickup price for the XBONE. To be honest, mine has sat unused in the corner for the most of the time I've had it as I can't justify paying 2x more for a game than I would do on Steam. It's awesome that this isn't the case with Guns, Gore & Cannoli and it's given me a reason to keep my XBONE out for a while!
I'd like to just share few thoughts on my own experience with game. A cinematic brings the game to a start, introducing Vinnie, a mobster on a mission to capture someone. Sleeping on a boat he learns that the world has been overrun by zombies. Naturally, been a mobster and all, he's well kitted out and does not deviate from his macabre task. From here on you work your way through a multitude of environments, collecting new and exciting weapons as you progress, and meeting new enemies to test you.
One thing that I really liked was the difficulty. The game looks great, has a really funny story, and as such I was expecting something much more casual that what it is. The game puts up a fight, and if you don't stay on your mobster toes it will punish you. Everything Heather said in her original article about the title I can 100% corroborate, and it is well worth the 9.5 we gave it originally. I'm not that far in, and already I've fought across a boat, a dockyard, a town, and met a wide range of interesting enemies!
A zombie football player that knocks you on your ass every opportunity he gets. A pinup zombie resembling Marilyn Monroe that likes to jump about, and another female zombie that can't stop burping out some horrible green gas! I've also met a couple of NPC characters, all of which are funny and interesting dialogue with Vinnie. The game is lots of fun, plays great, looks great and sounds great, and it arrives on XBONE as strongly as it hit PC.
Tl:dr – Guns, Gore & Cannoli is now available on a number of game consoles and it's no shoddy port. It's clear the Crazy Monkey put time and effort into ensuring quality across the board, and the XBONE version is just as good as its PC counterpart. At £7.99 (or your regional equivalent) there's no reason why you shouldn't have this title on your XBOX. Get it downloaded!
Rating – 9.5 (again!)
Purchase – XBONE £7.99 or your regional equivalent | PC/Steam £6.99/$9.99

The first minister told delegates that voters faced a choice between two futures.
"The Nationalists want to rip it all up and start again, with the uncertainty and upheaval of divorce from the United Kingdom," he said
"They would risk jobs, family mortgages, pensions and investment in public services.
Policy pledges
"But there is a better choice - a Labour government building on the start that we have made in improving our economy, improving schools and hospitals and tackling crime.
"This can be a turning point for Scotland. We can really make a difference."
However, Mr McConnell accepted that the election campaign could not overshadow the military action in the Gulf.
"We expected this conference to launch Labour's campaign for the Scottish elections in May, but the military conflict in Iraq has changed that.
He expressed the party's support for those service personnel involved in the conflict.
The Iraq crisis dominated the first day of the conference, with party officials forced to hold a debate after a rebellion by delegates.
That discussion took place behind closed doors on Friday afternoon.
Mr McConnell told delegates: "While we will have our debates and we will have our concerns at this time, we must also remember that the Scottish Labour Party waited 100 years for a Scottish Parliament.
Policy pledges
"Our task is to use the powers of devolution to change Scotland for the better.
"In a united Labour party we can ask for the trust and the support of Scottish voters."
The speech also included a number of policy pledges.
Mr McConnell said Labour would not introduce top-up fees for students at Scottish universities in the second term of the parliament.
And he promised to recruit an extra 2,500 teachers, as well as hundreds more doctors and nurses.
He also attacked the Scottish National Party, claiming that its pledges did not add up.
And he said: "If the Nationalists will not talk about independence, we will."
In response, SNP election coordinator Nicola Sturgeon MSP claimed that violent crime and waiting lists had increased under Labour, and that class sizes were still too large.
"Labour have had six years to show they can get things right and they have failed. Time's up for Labour," she said.

I decided to modify my config.inc file to run the mount command that
Monowall attempts to execute, and output the result:
mount -r /dev/aacd0 /cf
It returns this:
mount: /dev/aacd0a : No such file or directory
So, it looks like perhaps all I need is to add a /dev/aacd0a ??? I'm unclear
on how to do this, since I don't have that particular file on my development
machine. Is this just a placeholder? Can I just copy another file and
rename it?

Thanks to everyone who has replied... We are trying to avoid compact flash

So far, we've compiled a new image with the aac driver in the kernel. It

It's failing near the beginning of the config.inc file...
Anyone have any more insight on how I can make this work (using RAID)? I'm
not familiar with FreeBSD in general, having really only used it in Monowall
and on my Monowall development system.
In looking at the config.inc file, for each device it is attempting to mount
/dev/{device}a... like, /dev/hda, etc. Is there an aacd0a, or is it a
different device name?

SCSI, yeah, but there are no RAID drivers in the m0n0wall kernel so
RAID isn't supported. Those PERC cards work great with FreeBSD
though, my 2550's with the RAID keys use the aac (Adaptec RAID)

NBC Uses Sandy Hook Principal's Daughter as Prop, Complains Critics Charge She's Used As Prop
The air was thick with disingenuousness on Saturday's Today show as NBC conducted a long-distance interview with the daughter of the slain Sandy Hook Elementary School principal. Co-anchor Erica Hill brought up the charge that Erica Lafferty has been used as a prop by the gun control crowd. Of course, in the process, NBC was using Lafferty as a prop during that very interview.
Lafferty was in Houston, ostensibly hoping to meet with leaders and members of the NRA at their convention. Ever since the Sandy Hook shooting, Lafferty has been active in the push for stricter gun laws, and Hill mentioned this. But then the anchor added, "You have also been accused of being used as a prop. Is there anything that you think you could have done differently to change the outcome in Washington?" Lafferty scoffed at the notion:
"It's comical that I've been called a prop. I am absolutely here because I want to be, because it's the right thing to do, not because I'm being used as a prop by any means."
Erica, I hate to tell you this, but NBC is using you as a prop even as you speak. I'm sure you do want to be in Houston, and that you believe you are doing the right thing, but that doesn't mean NBC is not capitalizing on your situation to make its gun control push.
It appeared that NBC was only interviewing Lafferty because she is the daughter of a Sandy Hook victim. The interview was very bland, with Hill asking generic questions such as, What will you say to NRA members when you talk to them? What do you expect to hear from them? What do you expect to change?
Hill never asked the obvious question, however: Would expanded background checks have prevented your mother's death? Fortunately for Hill, Lafferty addressed the issue without being prodded: "[I]t does sound like [NRA] leadership is giving a really hard push saying that background checks wouldn't have changed Sandy Hook. No one knows that."
Hill didn't challenge the contention that "no one knows" that background checks wouldn't have prevented the massacre. But the record is pretty clear: Adam Lanza stole his mother's guns and used them to murder those 20 children and six staffers at Sandy Hook. A background check would not have stopped him from getting his hands on those weapons.
It's odd that Hill seemed to blame Lafferty for being used as a prop. Her follow-up question was even more odd: "Is there anything that you think you could have done differently to change the outcome in Washington?"
The real question is what NBC could have done differently, and the answer is that they should have passed on this interview with Lafferty, or perhaps balanced it with an interview with Taya Kyle, the widow of former Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle.
Chris Kyle, you may recall, was shot to death by a fellow veteran whom he had befriended and was trying to help work through his issues with PTSD. Yet Taya Kyle does not blame guns for her husband's death and in fact gave a very moving speech at the NRA convention on Friday in which she memorialized her husband and spoke movingly about protecting the rights of good individuals to keep and use firearms for good purposes, like hunting, sport shooting, and yes, defending self and family against harm. [you can watch the video here.]
Lafferty's stated goals in Houston were to "get questions answered" and "figure out where the differences are between [NRA] leadership and its members." Taya Kyle, an NRA member, would have been an excellent person to bring on for such perspective.
But as far as NBC is concerned, the families of "gun violence" victims only matter when they are forwarding a pro-gun control narrative.
Below is a transcript of the interview:
ERICA HILL: Dawn Hochsprung was the principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School. She was killed there last December along with five other staffers and twenty children. Her daughter Erica Lafferty joins us this morning from Houston. She's there hoping to meet with leaders of the National Rifle Association. Erica, thanks for being with us today.
ERICA LAFFERTY: Thank you.
HILL: So you've said that in coming down there your goal is really to have a conversation with members of the NRA who are there at this convention. What will you say to them?
LAFFERTY: I'm really just looking to get questions answered. I know that 74 percent of the NRA members do support the expanded background checks, but the huge push that's coming down from leadership is the exact opposite of that. So my goal is really just to figure out where the differences are between leadership and its members.
HILL: What do you expect to hear?
LAFFERTY: I honestly don't know. I am anxiously awaiting those answers. From what I've heard just from the media being inside of the convention yesterday, it does sound like leadership is giving a really hard push saying that background checks wouldn't have changed Sandy Hook. No one knows that. They are now saying that mental health is a huge issue, which I don't think anyone is disagreeing with, but that's not exactly what's being discussed right now. So I'm just trying to get the focus back onto background checks where it belongs.
HILL: There's been a great deal of sympathy for your loss, for the other families who lost someone at Sandy Hook across the country. And you have worked tirelessly with a number of those families, spent a lot of time in Washington talking to lawmakers. You have also been accused of being used as a prop. Is there anything that you think you could have done differently to change the outcome in Washington?
LAFFERTY: My one regret is that I didn't start earlier. It's comical that I've been called a prop. I am absolutely here because I want to be, because it's the right thing to do, not because I'm being used as a prop by any means.
HILL: So you disagree strongly with that language. Realistically, what do you expect to change? If you couldn't get those things changed in Washington, and with a lot of the public support that you saw, what do you expect in terms of a change that will come from members of the NRA?
LAFFERTY: I'm hoping that – I know that there are a few senators that are saying that they're willing to work on some kind of compromise and adjust the language that was in the Toomey-Manchin proposal, so I'm really just hoping to figure out what exactly it was that they were looking to change, what the small piece of it was that they didn't agree with, so that the next time it does comes up to vote, that it will pass.
HILL: Erica Lafferty, we appreciate your time this morning. Thank you.
LAFFERTY: Thank you.

José Cárdenas: National and community leaders along with children's organizations and advocates will meet tomorrow and Saturday to talk about challenges facing young Latinos today as well as the contributions they can make to society. Here to talk about the national young latinos children summit is Olga Aros, summit chair and founder of Latino voices and Argie Gomez, summit co-chair and chief financial office of national Latino children's summit. I know they played a major role in pulling this together, but give us a quick overview of the summit itself.
Olga Aros: The summit is a day and a half. It starts on Friday with the training of 60 young leaders on civic engagement advocacy and leadership and a full day on Saturday that will address six major issues that are part of the national Latino children's institute agenda for the betterment of the lives of Latino children.
José Cárdenas: As I understand it the summit itself is sold out. The only portion now open to the public is the film by Paul Espinoza.
Olga Aros: There is a reception on Friday evening from 5:30 to 8:00 held at the Virginia Piper auditorium at the University of Arizona's medical and science building. A docudrama film of the lemon grove incident produced by Paul Espinoza.
José Cárdenas: We have that on the screen now so people can get more information. Olga, a couple of years ago with SB 1070 the Latino community or certain elements were urging people to boycott the state. Stay away. This summit has come to Arizona precisely because it views Arizona as ground zero on these kinds of issues. Am I right?
Olga Aros: You're absolutely correct. They decided to come into Arizona because they saw that some of the legislation being proposed would seriously harm Latino children in Arizona but also it became -- it would have a domino effect throughout the nation. That type of legislation they felt they needed to address.
José Cárdenas: Argie, what do you hope to come out of the summit?
Argie Gomez: I want to talk just a minute about the attack on the 14th amendment. That's been very important to us. That's something we talk about at the institute and why children need to be safe. I think --
José Cárdenas: You're referring to the birth rights, citizenship issue saying even if you're born here if your parents didn't come here legally then you're not a citizen.
Argie Gomez: Correct. Which is opposite of what the constitution says. So out comes of the summit are education of our community, education of our youth leaders, training on advocacy and really being able to circle our rope here to really get our community well informed, to be good advocates, know that they have a voice, that they are empowered. Then the educational piece. Creating and developing 60 youth leaders that will be able to pick up the phone, go see a legislator, understand what that advocacy process is about. I think for the future of Arizona it is incredibly powerful. That's a big outcome for us.
José Cárdenas: Olga, how do you intend to get there? You'll start Friday, end on Saturday. How do you get from wherever you start to where Argie says she wants to ends.
Olga Aros: Well open with a plannery session that includes some of the largest latino serving organizations throughout the nation. That includes maldef. It includes the U.S. Hispanic leadership institute. It includes demographics and ethnic facts about new things related to the Latino consumer and the Latino market. It will also finish up talking about culture and why culture is important in education and why history is important to the learning of young people and young children.
José Cárdenas: Argie, after the summit, assuming you accomplish these goals, what happens next?
Argie Gomez: Well, my guess is, my belief, that we will come away with an agenda. There will be a call to action as part of the last piece of the summit on Saturday. We'll have leaders there. Olga will be there. The CEO for Chicanos por la cause will be there. That action is specific not only to Arizona but to the nation. Like child safety, child sex crimes, immigration, education of our Latino children is important. Those calls to action will be very specific and from there we hope public policy can be impacted, influenced and ultimately legislation that is good and fair toward Latino community and particularly Latino children.
José Cárdenas: Olga, we have only a few seconds left. E-Latina voices. You were on the show last time to talk about it.
Olga Aros: We have grown. Last time we were on you show we were around 600 members. We're now up to 800 and growing every day. We have some very active women that have taken on the issue of child sex crimes and are prepared to take position related to child sex crimes and the things that have happened in that arena, the role that law enforcement plays in the lives of children.
José Cárdenas: on that note we ends the interview. Thank you for joining us. That is our show for this Thursday evening. From all of us here at Horizonte, I'm Jose Cardenas. Have a good night.

Jet Sphere . 2" Black Amber . Absorbs Negative Energy, Protection Against Psychic Attacks and Evil, Auric Clearing
Jet is organic in origin, and is also known as black amber, although it is not actually an amber, but rather fossilized wood. Like coal it is formed by the remains of wood that has been immersed in water for millions of years, then compacted and fossilized. When burned or touched with a hot implement, it often exudes the characteristic smell of coal.
Jet has historically been used as a protection stone and is said to have very powerful protection energies to ward off evil, negativity, as well as psychic attacks, it is considered one of the most powerful absorbers of negative energy and depression.
Jet is said to control all demons and thus prevent demonic possession. It draws out negative energy from the aura, and can initiate psychic experiences. It uncovers past negative energies a person still carried in their subconscious mind, and will help in understanding and working with life and karmic cycles. Jet is a protective stone that protects against evil spirits, magic spells and witchcraft. It should also protect it's owner from enemies.
This beautiful sphere measures 2 inches. Jet is normally a very light stone, with inclusions of pyrite which create a brassy, metallic luster. Due to the fact that jet is organic, it may dry out, causing the surface to crack, so special care is needed to keep your Jet sphere protected. Best to keep it out of direct sunlight.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
What about the fact that it was dismissed without prejudice twice? doesn't that matter? I thought if they dismiss it twice without prejudice that equals - with prejudice?
You are totally worth the money - but a few other things -
I'm in Michigan now
and I'm being sued in Michigan - not Ohio
so it's Michigan law ....
and yes - it says -
Notice of Dismissal by Plaintiff
Plaintiff/Attorney for plaintiff files this notice of dismissal of this case without prejudice as to: all defendants. - order to dismiss - and it's signed by the judge - the first one is dated 12/10/2012
then -
same thing again - dated 4/29/2013
signed again - by the judge
but - the case number XXXXX XXXXX same -(NNN) NNN-NNNN- not sure if that matters
It's two different signatures - but the same judge - it's stamped two different times -
Then - I get this one on 7/19/2013 - and it says - there is no other pending or resolved action within the jurisdiction of this - blah, blah -
it's the same exact court - same exact judge - same exact plaintiff and attorney - only a different attorney at the same firm signed it this time - is the only difference. Sorry - this is so much I know. I know I need to respond and I will - I will even get an attorney - I just want to know what you know about this and Michigan law as it pertains to this situation.
I'm sorry - I tried to retract that relist - I am very happy with your response and answers - this is new to me and I wasn't sure how the response times worked . I will give give a rating when I'm done and it will be excellent. I hope that won't hurt you.
I was worried that because both dismissals without prejudice - have the same case number XXXXX they might not count as two dismissals without prejudice ......... I'm worried it could be an error - like they weren't aware they had already done it ......... do you think that would matter? I really think this is my last question - and again - sorry for not being more patient.
I wish you lived in Michigan
Thank you!

By Martin Crutsinger, AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON The service sector grew in May for a second month, as business at hotels, educational services and health care expanded modestly for the second month in a row.
The Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday its service sector index was 51.7 in May, following a better-than-expected reading of 52 for April. Economists had been expecting a reading of 50.3 in May.
A reading above 50 indicates the sector is growing, while a reading below 50 indicates contraction.
The sector's performance may provide some hope that the current U.S. economic slowdown will not be too severe.
However, the prices paid index rose to 77.0 in May, the second-highest reading in the report's 11-year history. It was up from 72.1 in April.
In other reports Wednesday:
• Worker productivity increased at a faster pace in the first three months of this year than previously estimated, while wage pressure was unchanged from their first estimate.
The Labor Department reported that productivity rose at an annual rate of 2.6% in the January-March period, faster than the government's initial estimate of 2.2% made a month ago.
The 2.6% rate of growth in productivity was a significant improvement from a 1.8% increase in the final three months of last year.
Wage pressures moderated from the final three months of last year with unit labor costs rising at an annual rate of 2.2%. That was a marked slowdown from a 4.7% surge in labor costs in the final three months of last year.
• U.S. private-sector employers added 40,000 jobs in May, which defied Wall Street's expectations of a fall.
The ADP Employer Services data release comes ahead of the government's monthly jobs report due on Friday, one of the biggest events on the monthly economic calendar. A Reuters poll shows analysts expect that to show non-farm payrolls fell by 58,000 in May.
"ADP has been inaccurate of late, overpredicting payrolls," said Cary Leahey, economist and managing director at Decision Economics in New York.
"That said, the increase of 40,000 jobs in the report will let the market conclude that the May payroll figure due this Friday will be flattish to slightly down, which would be stronger than expected and that explains this mild sell-off in the bond market."
While rising wages and benefits are good for employees, those increases can lead to higher inflation if businesses are forced to boost the cost of their products to cover the higher payroll costs. However, if productivity is increasing, it allows businesses to finance higher wages out of the increased output.
Worker hours shrank 1.8% as businesses cut back on labor inputs to shield profits amid a cooling U.S. economy. It was the third straight quarterly decline in hours.
The Federal Reserve has started to worry more about inflation pressures in the face of a relentless surge in energy and food costs. The Fed cut rates for a seventh time on April 30, but the reduction was a smaller quarter-point move. The central bank indicated the rate cuts could be drawing to a close as the attention shifted from worrying about keeping the country out of a steep recession to concerns about inflation.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke discussed his inflation concerns in a speech on Tuesday, worrying that a rapid rise in prices, if sustained, "might lead the public to expect higher long-term inflation rates, an expectation that ultimately could become self-confirming."
Bernanke's remarks were seen as a strong signal that the Fed is through cutting interest rates and may start raising rates later this year as a way to battle inflation pressures.
The Fed wants to make sure that soaring energy costs don't produce higher wage pressures that could trigger a disastrous wage-price spiral like the country experienced in the 1970s.

How about a little dip?
The Bruton Scotch Snuff that is pictured above, is actually a nasal snuff. It is a very fine, dry powder intended to be sniffed through the nose. The Bruton brand is noted to be quite potent. Some women in the Appalachian region enjoyed snuff by dipping a stick, (with the end chewed up like a brush), into the snuff and then rubbing it onto their gums. I always saw Bird enjoy her snuff by dipping. Although tobacco is noted to be a product with all types of health risks, she is still living life well into her 90's.
12 comments:
That was a very unique gift. I never heard of a nasal snuff before. My grandmother "rubbed" snuff as they called it. When I was a young child in the 60s many of the women up the holler where I lived rubbed snuff.ReplyDelete

My grandmother also "dipped". She thought she had it hid, but we all knew. Her mother, on the other hand, openly "dipped" and "chewed.ReplyDelete
When my great-grandmother came to visit at our house, we would see who could get her spit can fixed first. What fun memories.
You know I wonder if it's the tobacco or all the chemicals sprayed on it now. My husband says that everybody that farmed also used tobacco and nobody in the old days seemed to get sick from it. his daughter is a big dipper and I worry about her getting cancer. It's a question though.ReplyDelete
Janet - I have never heard of "rubbing" snuff. I had never heard of nasal snuff before, until I did a little research on my grandma's type of snuff.ReplyDelete
Nina - Did she chew plugs of tobacco?
Karen - I agree with you about the chemicals used these days. It does make you wonder.

My great granny also dipped snuff. She always had a big wad in the front of her mouth.ReplyDelete
She used to send me to the store to buy it for her and then wanted to give me a kiss for being such a sweet child. Oh lord, it was nasty.
Funny thing...when she died, the mortician put some in her lip for her "viewing." No shit.
The above comment is me...had a brain fart.ReplyDelete
My dad's mom dipped snuff. She was a little embarrassed by the habit and tried to "dip" discreetly but that was a little difficult when she'd have to spit every few minutes or so.ReplyDelete
I inherited 3 unopened cans but I'm not sure where they are at the moment or what brand they are. I may have to hunt for those.
I remember my grandmother always having the faint smell of snuff and Dove soap about her--two very different scents but very pleasant memories for me.

Dejoni - I can't believe that the mortician put some dip in her lip. I wonder if Little Walt would do that now?ReplyDelete
I never saw my great grandmother without a can. she kept a small mustard jar lined with kleenex in her apron pocket to spit, all lady like.ReplyDelete

Yes, she did chew plugs. She would get a plug from my daddy's "twist of Mammoth Cave when she didn't have any of her own.ReplyDelete
Bruton is Pap's choice of snuff too. My Granny dipped snuff but I don't recall what brand. Having grown up around spit cups they don't much bother me-as long as I don't have to touch them!ReplyDelete
Heres on for you and Dejoni-the church I've recently started going to-has a man who brings his own spit cup to every service! And NO they don't have snakes! HaHa
This is the first reference I have seen to what my Grandmother referred to as "scouring". I spent many hours watching her in her 80's and 90's (and along with her sisters) scouring and playing solitare. This was all in central Maine. The story was that when they were young they all worked in the woolen mills here and couldn't smoke so they scoured.ReplyDelete

It is often said that a human being is a social animal. While this is true, does this mean that all degrees of social attachment are completely fine? Honestly, no. In fact, attachment displayed by children, to a very great extent, can have an unhealthy impact on the child's psychology.
Children are sometimes affected by attachment disorders. This results in the child not being able to manage emotions to a sufficient degree. In addition to this, a child may suffer from a lack of self-worth due to not being able to connect on an emotional level with another person. Can you imagine how damaging this could be for a child who is so vulnerable while growing up?
When a child has a negative experience in his or her relationship with a parent, especially early on, an attachment disorder can develop. All children need varying degrees of a feeling of security to develop in initially and this is gone when they feel helpless and uncared for; not good indeed, to say the least!
What are some specific things, which can lead to the development of attachment disorders? One of the prime examples would be the needs of the baby being met some times but not all of the time. What this leads to is a baby not really knowing what is to be expected. Another thing which has the potential to be a trigger for an attachment disorder is the baby being neglected in the way that no person interacts with him or her and as a result of this, the baby seems to have no option at all, but to feel lonely.
So, what can be done in order to be able to deal with this situation? To start off, it can be said that the person himself or herself needs to put in a lot of effort. Patience truly is key as it helps in the improvement process and a parent needs to stay calm at every step.
When it comes to interactions with the child, listening, talking and playing while eliminating distractions, allows the child the opportunity to open up. Also, helping a child identify the emotions that are felt helps a lot.
Bonding with the child and physical care by the way of holding and hugging provides a sense of care and security to the child. Adequate sleep and a sufficient diet for the child are very important, as is exercise. The diet should ideally be low on sugar and must consist of good fats, like those from olive oil and fish.

I am under depression due to office boss and all subordinates behavior with me. They are neglecting me. Avoiding me. In all situations. If I voluntary join to make that I am also a member that my suggestions are over looking. Feeling very sad. Tension in mind. Some pain in head. Words will not come easily. Some of subordinates telling lie about me to others and giving bad impression on me. I am feeling loneliness. Working silently alone. This could effect my health kindly suggest me.
Behavior of a child should always be closely monitored during his/her early development. Sometimes signs of several personality disorders tend to show up early in life. Proper monitoring of the child's behavior helps to identify the signs and properly diagnose the condition if the child is suffering from any potential personality disorder.
Here are a few facts you should keep in mind:
- You might often find it difficult to differentiate between the normal and abnormal behavior of your child. You might consult the pediatrician in this case to compare the child's general behavioral patterns with that of other children in the same age group.
- It is very important to understand your child's development process. It helps you to interpret his/her behavior and to identify signs of personality disorder.
- There are a few common behavior patterns, which tend to act as a guide to understanding the behavior of your child. Some of these patterns should be encouraged as they lead to proper behavioral development of your child while patterns of negative behavior should be discouraged.
- You should also consult a doctor if your child shows negative behavior persistently even after disciplining measures.
- Being polite, doing chores on a regular basis, following instructions should be encouraged and rewarded as it helps in the proper personality development of your child.
- Behavioral patterns like an inclination towards defensive, regressive and aggressive behavior should not be encouraged but can be tolerated in certain situations like illness or in times of stress.
- Behavioral patterns like an increased inclination to violence or an excessive competitive attitude towards their siblings should never be allowed.
- Prejudice or racism, stealing or inclination towards substance abuse, angry outbursts point towards problems in the child's mental, physical or social well-being. You are also advised to take your child to a psychological expert to find out whether he/she is suffering from any sort of behavioral disorder.
- Your behavior also plays a major role in development of your child and his/her behavioral patterns. It is often seen that if a child is subjected to excessive physical, mental or emotional abuse or is engaged in too many curricular and extracurricular activities, he/she is likely to develop several behavioral disorders over time.
Manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder in recent days, is a major mood disorder characterized by hypomanic or manic episodes (deviation from one's usual mood along with abnormally high energy levels). Mania involves sleeplessness, along with psychosis, hallucinations, rage, grandiose delusions or paranoia. Mania or hypomania isn't usually harmful to the patient and they might exhibit increased capacity for work and creativity. Depressive episodes however, can be debilitating and often life threatening as the person becomes self-destructive and suicidal in many instances.
The extent of mood swings can vary from extreme to very mild. They can occur progressively or suddenly and might last for few days to weeks. Patients affected by bipolar disorder may experience disturbances in thinking apart from depressive or manic episodes. Distortions of perception and impaired social functioning are also not uncommon. The cause of bipolar disorder is not fully understood like most mental health conditions and is often thought to be hereditary.
The extent of the seriousness of the bipolar symptoms varies from person to person. In some people, the disorder is not full blown and they don't exhibit all the symptoms. Others who aren't that lucky might have to be hospitalized multiple times in their lives as the symptoms creep into their work and personal life and make living a normal life a tough challenge.
Psychotic symptoms such as disorganized thinking, hallucinations and delusions might make a person do things that demand the urgency of hospitalization to keep them safe from their suicidal impulses. These symptoms might need to be urgently addressed by a psychiatrist and with the help of medications, the person might be able to regain control of their lives.
The symptoms of bipolar disorder are many and can be mainly categorized into two (sometimes overlapping) categories of mania or hypomania and depression:
Manic symptoms include:
- Grandiose delusions (delusion of grandeur)
- Racing thoughts which are often disconnected
- Sense of euphoria or false elation
- Irritability without cause
- Hampered social functioning
- Increased sexual inclination and risky sexual behavior
- Hyperactivity
- Increase in talking volume or speed
- Impaired judgment
- Reduced sleep requirements owing to extra energy levels
- Increased productivity and creativity
Depressive symptoms include:
- Abnormal eating patterns like over or under-eating to the extent of severe medical complications accompanied by drastic changes in weight
- Difficulty in concentration, making decisions and remembering
- Lack of energy or fatigue
- Contemplating about death for prolonged periods of time and suicidal behavior
- Oversleeping, insomnia or early awakening
- Persistent pessimism
- Irritability and restlessness
- Feeling of hopeless and negative attitude
Mood stabilizers, such as lithium are commonly employed to treat bipolar disorder. Anticonvulsants, benzodiazepines and anti psychotics can also be used in the treatment. Along with medications, support from family and friends is of the utmost importance as they need to help provide all the support required in making the person functional and healthy. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a psychiatrist.

Binge drinking is a problem that has been noticed nowadays in many teenagers and youngsters. Whether it is at an event or a party, drinking high doses of alcohol in one sitting is known as binge drinking.
Binge Drinking in Women Is Different from Men
Binge drinking for men is the consumption of more than five alcoholic beverages in one sitting. But the case is different for women. For women binge drinking is defined as a woman consuming more than four alcoholic beverages in a single sitting. Also, it has been found in a survey that almost 75% of the binge drinkers are college students. Among these, the ratio of men is much higher than women.
What Leads to Binge Drinking?
- Lack of control: One of the most common reasons is, of course, the lack of control. When such a person comes in contact with alcohol, they tend to over drink because they have no control over their drinking.
- The weekend fun: Secondly, another reason is seen in the case of youngsters between the age of 18 years to 35 years. These are youngsters who have a tendency of meeting friends and going out on weekends after the week's toil. They know that after this weekend they will be able to enjoy their favorite bottle only in the next weekend. Hence, they binge drink.
Results of Binge Drinking
It becomes difficult to check how much alcohol will affect a person, because it depends on various factors, such as height, weight, age and also at times, alcohol tolerance of the person. But of course, there are some common results of binge drinking. Some of such results are:
- Unintended and unprotected sex leading to pregnancy or even STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) in some cases
- Accidents that may lead to severe injuries and even death at times
- Physical or mental assault of others that the person may regret later on.
When Is Help Required?
When the person has a habit of driving after drinking, neglecting family and doing harm to others as well, help is surely needed. Here, short 4-5 sessions with a therapist may help. A regular drinking habit is no doubt a reason to worry. But binge drinking is another reason that can lead to bigger problems and hence, needs to be examined closely too. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Psychiatrist.

Fulfilling an election pledge to make Victoria's teachers the best paid in the nation would cost the state $1.8 billion and will not happen, according to the Minister for Higher Education and Skills,
After recently settling pay claims worth a combined $2.2 billion with police and nurses, the cash-strapped Baillieu government is negotiating with teachers and has rejected the Australian Education Union's request for an 18 per cent pay rise over three years.
A spokesman for Mr Hall said the pay rise sought by the union was far above the government's state pay policy of 2.5 per cent annual increases plus any productivity gains.
The union's claim was in "no way sustainable", he said.
Australian Education Union Victorian president Mary Bluett has insisted the government keep its poll pledge and has threatened industrial action if a deal is not reached with the government by April 16, the first day of the second school term.
Monash University workplace law associate professor Anthony Forsyth said the problem for the government was that it had "dug in quite hard" with the nurses' dispute and was hamstrung because it had given in to the police before that.
"So they're sort of saying, 'we have these wage parameters and ceilings', but in two significant sectors of their workforces they've gone above that," he said.
"Even if they've costed it out and can't afford it now, they've weakened their position."

The Center, Denver's GLBT nonprofit, moves to fancy new digs; check them out today!
After 34 years spent advocating for and supporting Denver's GLBT community, The Center has a home of its own. The nonprofit, which sponsors Denver's annual PrideFest celebration, has moved to fancy new digs on the corner of Colfax and Lafayette -- and Westword got a tour of the new building (complete with a rooftop deck with a mountain view!) yesterday at a VIP celebration for donors.
The general public -- that's anyone and everyone! -- is welcome to drop by today from 3 to 8 p.m. for The Center's grand opening.
But we wanted to offer you a sneak peek. In the words of Carlos Martinez, The Center's executive director: "This building represents unity, strength and power within our community. The community really rallied behind this project."

It started with a $1.2 million donation nearly three years ago from a volunteer named Roy G. Wood. When Wood, an quiet man who tended The Center's library, died, he left 90 percent of his estate to the organization, an arrangement that took The Center by surprise. They were grateful, Martinez says, and they wanted to spend the money in a meaningful way. Rather than just buy an existing building, The Center decided to leverage Wood's donation into a capital campaign to raise money for a building of its own.
"He inspired us to think big and to dream big," Martinez says.

The Center moved from its rented space on Broadway to its brand new, four-level building about seven weeks ago. The new building is bright: full of windows and vibrant colors. The lowest level houses Rainbow Alley, The Center's youth drop-in center. On October 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the downtown Sheraton hotel, Rainbow Alley will host Gaybutante, an event modeled after the debutante tradition at which youth tell their coming out stories for friends and supportive adults.

The main level includes a common area named after Wood, as well as several smaller conference rooms, the organization's legal resources and a "cyber center" complete with new flat-screen computers.

Staff offices and cubicles occupy the second floor. And then there's the rooftop deck; yesterday, it was filled with chairs and a podium, a C-shaped black leather couch, tables full of hors d'oeuvres and a DJ spinning Soft Cell's "Tainted Love."

So far, The Center has raised $2.8 million of the $3.5 million needed to complete its capital campaign. To reach its final goal, the organization is encouraging folks to sign up to donate $27.77 a month for three years, which adds up to $1,000.
"It's a way for everyone to give back," Martinez says.

Man arrested for alleged alcohol theft
January 10, 2013
Some quality detective work by an employee of a Grass Valley grocery store led to the arrest of a Sacramento man who is facing 10 criminal counts.
Jose Edoardo Henriquez, 24, was arrested for burglary, false personation, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of an illegal weapon after he allegedly stole a case of beer from a store in Grass Valley Saturday afternoon and fled to a Nevada City residence, where he was found hiding in a shower, said Sgt. Clint Bates of the Grass Valley Police Department.
A female employee allegedly spotted Henriquez leaving the Neal Street grocery store at 12:30 p.m. with alcoholic beverages for which he did not pay, Bates said. As Henriquez attempted to flee the scene, the employee noted the make and model of the car that abetted the escape while memorizing the license plate.
"She did a good job," Bates said.
"She did a good job."
— Sgt. Clint Bates,
Grass Valley Police Department
Grass Valley Police officers ran the license plate and traced the car to a residence at the 500 block of Zion Street in Nevada City.
With assistance from the Nevada City Police Department, police obtained permission to search the premises from the residents and found the stolen contraband along with a pipe used for smoking methamphetamine in plain view, Bates said.
Upon further search, Henriquez, who is alleged to be the main perpetrator of the burglary, was found hiding in the shower, Bates said.
Police searched Henriquez's person and found what is referred to as a "slug shot" — basically a metal padlock wrapped in a bandanna and used in the same manner as a sock full of coins — in his pocket, Bates said.
During questioning, Henriquez allegedly provided a false identity, misrepresenting himself as his brother, which he maintained throughout the investigation until he was booked at Nevada County Jail, Bates said.
At the jail, he provided his real identity and was found to have six outstanding warrants.
Bail for Henriquez was set at $57,000. He made bail Saturday evening.
The stolen alcohol was recovered and returned to the store, Bates said.

So….out of curiosity I click back to Politics.com after some time and find that:
They have a nifty new interface that brings users more content in the same space, and particularly lets me find, up front, what's cooking right now. Cool.
The usual suspects (and some new ones) have yet to tire of their tirades, but seem to be moderating their views somewhat and engaging in what increasingly looks like debate, or at least discussion, on some of the threads. The more flexible thinkers are still at it, apparently neither discouraged nor dumbed-down. That looks like progress, imho, though of course I'm not the decider.

Information Required in Prospectus
Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933 permits a summary prospectus to be used instead of the complete prospectus. The summary prospectus must include all material information, must not contain any untrue statements and must state that a complete prospectus is also available.
The body of all printed prospectuses must be in Roman type at least as large and as legible as 10-point type. Where necessary for space, financial statements and other tabular data may be as small as eight-point type. When a prospectus is distributed via electronic medium, issuers must present all documents in a similar style as required in paper documents and must present all information in a format readily communicated to investors.
Exam Tips and Tricks
The legibility of the prospectus type is likely to be tested. For example, answers that state that the body may be in eight-point or Italic type are incorrect.
The Securities Act of 1933 also prescribes procedures for amending the prospectus. Such changes must be included in a statement of additional information, which is then attached to and becomes part of the prospectus.
Civil Liabilities Arising in Connection with Prospectuses and Communications
Section 12 of the act states that any person who offers or sells a security and uses false statements of materials facts, or omits any material facts is subject to civil liabilities under the act. The purchaser may sue, either at law or in equity, in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount paid for such security, plus interest, minus any income received from the security and the amount received if the security has been sold.
Rule 134 - Communication Not Deemed a Prospectus
Typically, they include the following information:
- Name of issuer
- Fund name
- Classification and type of mutual fund
- Underwriters
- Date of sale
If a tombstone ad also includes a description of the fund's objectives and policies, the most current net asset value or the length of the fund's (or its investment adviser's) existence, it must also include a legend that states that more complete information regarding charges and expenses is available, the name and address of the issuer and that the prospectus should be ready before investing.
Exam Tips and Tricks
Expect questions about tombstone ads - particularly that performance information is not permitted in the ad.
Rule 135a - Generic Advertising
If an advertisement or letter does not specifically refer by name to the securities of a particular investment company, the investment company is not deemed to offer any security for sale and, therefore, does not require a prospectus as long as such communication contains the name and address of a registered broker or dealer or other person sponsoring the communication and is limited to any one or more of the following:
Explanatory information relating to securities of investment companies generally or to the nature of investment companies, or to services offered in connection with the ownership of such securities
The mention or explanation of investment companies of different generic types or having various investment objectives, such as balanced funds, growth funds, income funds, leveraged funds, specialty funds, variable annuities, bond funds, and no-load funds
- Offers, descriptions and explanation of various products and services not constituting a security subject to registration under the act, provided that such offers, descriptions and explanations do not relate directly to the desirability of owning or purchasing a security issued by a registered investment company
- Invitation to inquire for further information
If such communication contains a solicitation of inquiries and prospectuses for investment company securities that are to be sent or delivered in response to such inquiries, the number of such investment companies and, if applicable, the fact that the sponsor of the communication is the principal underwriter or investment adviser in respect to such investment companies shall be stated.
