Virginia Tech anniversary creates difficult moment on gun control for lawmakers
By Mike Lillis - 04/12/12 05:00 AM ET
A confluence of events related to gun violence including the fifth anniversary of the Virginia Tech massacre is creating an uncomfortable situation for congressional leaders when they return to Washington from their long spring vacation.
A large group of shooting victims has challenged a handful of leaders in both parties to meet on Capitol Hill next week to discuss ways to keep firearms out of dangerous hands an uneasy topic for many members who will be forced to balance their sensitivity for the victims with their support for gun rights and the powerful gun lobby.
The victims are citing a long list of current events the Virginia Tech anniversary, the February shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin and last week's fatal rampage at a religious college in Oakland, to name a few to pressure lawmakers to confront a question that's been all but ignored by this Congress: Does current law do enough to keep firearms from those who might illegally use them against others?
The offices of both Senate leaders Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for instance, could not say if the two gun-rights supporters will meet with the shooting victims. Pressed on the issue, both offices clammed up.

Gotta love that turn of phrase; no one is forced to do anything. Our elected officials sole goal should be to uphold the Constitution of the United States and not to balance politics. The reality here is clear: the Constitution states that public safety/general welfare are of public interest and that there is a right to keep and bear arms within the context of "a well-regulated Militia." That our public debate has been reduced to balancing "sensitivity for the victims" with a special interest group and their economic allies is shameful. Can anyone tell me why we haven't done better in this country? Can anyone tell me why we cannot do better in this country? Can anyone tell me why we shouldn't do better in this country? I'm all ears, but what I see here is nothing but a failure to uphold the Constitution and a betrayal of the American people. Maybe our elected officials should do more to force themselves to do their jobs...

You see "within the context of "a well-regulated Militia.""; I see "the right of the people".
But rather than that poor horse- public safety. I recently rediscovered this counter point to waste keystrokes and bandwidth on :
Times Online (UK) Sept 8th 2007
I agree that lawmakers are not forced to do anything, but we tell then what we want and they should do it.

21. It's a flawed article...
Prohibitedlawed pretenses with flawed analysis and a flawed presentation of statistics. In short, it is just the sort of right-wing rubbish you would expect from a right-winger like Richard Munday.
Here is proof this guy is a massive imbecile with an agenda:
The firearms massacres that have periodically caused shock and horror around the world have been dwarfed by the Mumbai shootings, in which a handful of gunmen left some 500 people killed or wounded.
For anybody who still believed in it, the Mumbai shootings exposed the myth of gun control. India had some of the strictest firearms laws in the world, going back to the Indian Arms Act of 1878, by which Britain had sought to prevent a recurrence of the Indian Mutiny.
The guns used in last weeks Bombay massacre were all prohibited weapons under Indian law, just as they are in Britain. In this country we have seen the irrelevance of such bans (handgun crime, for instance, doubled here within five years of the prohibition of legal pistol ownership), but the largely drug-related nature of most extreme violence here has left most of us with a sheltered awareness of the threat. We have not yet faced a determined and broad-based attack.
The Mumbai massacre also exposed the myth that arming the police force guarantees security. Sebastian DSouza, a picture editor on the Mumbai Mirror who took some of the dramatic pictures of the assault on the Chhatrapati Shivaji railway station, was angered to find Indias armed police taking cover and apparently failing to engage the gunmen.
What a foolishly inflammatory and stupidly reasoned argument. Would you care to defend such tomfoolery?
Also, this isn't Free Republic, we respect copyright law as best as can be discerned. I reasoned the poster could use a heads-up.

That this would have been stopped? By this logic, 9/11 shows the failure of the US military to defend the United States!
The gun control policies of India had very little to do with the effectiveness of the Mumbai attacks - they were very well armed. I followed that fucker to the smallest detail. It would not have mattered - it was by surprise and they were very heavily armed and well-trained.

41. It wouldn't have hurt to have more guns...
But I agree, that armed civilians would have had a negligible effect. Extremely few would have the training for a situation like Mumbai and even they would not have been properly armed.
A few feel-good stories about Pyrrhic last stands would likely have occurred but overall no noticeable effect.
Arguably 9/11 is partly a military failure but much more on the intelligence community. Like Pearl Harbor, no one could connect the data they had because they could not realistically conceive of such an event until after it happened.

3. Interesting...
A quick google search reveals that between 70 and 100 million Americans own guns, depending on whose statistics you believe. Discounting the population under 21, that would suggest that nearly 1/2 of all American adults own firearms.
How did 1/2 of the population suddenly become a "special interest group?"
I do agree, though; our elected officials should do more to force themselves to do their jobs: uphold the constitution.

11. Such people may not agree on all the items in the "gun rights" agenda ...
but it is obvious that since they are gun owners, they are not totally opposed to all gun rights.
Suppose you ran a poll among only gun owners and asked questions such as, "Should a citizen be allowed to use a firearm to stop an intruder in his home who intends to inflict serious injury or death? Should a citizen be allowed to use a legally concealed firearm on the street in order to stop an attacker who intends to inflict serious injury or death? Should a citizen have a duty to retreat in such situations?
An extremely high percentage of the gun owners would answer, "Yes" to the first two questions and, "No" to the last. An overwhelming majority would support the use of deadly force to protect a home, but a significant majority would support licensed concealed carry and "Stand Your Ground" laws.

8. The "construct" is the problem.
If militias are composed of a selection of people, and the Second Amendment guarantees the right of the people to be armed without infringement, then the right of any militia you care to name derives its right to to be armed from the people.
People exist in the real world. Militias are associations, or "constructs", which citizens have a right to create without governmental sanction. Those citizens who are unwilling or unable to do so are still consedered people, who have the right to be armed. But that's actually beside the point.
Why would we support the rights of an association, an artificial "construct", above the rights of people? How can progressives decry the concept of corporate personhood and in the same breath support another abstract association as if it had civil rights?
Nobody on this planet is better at establishing, funding and perpetuating associations than corporations. It's what they do. They already have unmatched economic power. Does it make sense to give them the right to be powerfully weaponized as well? Blackwater is a militia.

10. You do realize that...
...socially speaking in the context of 1787 that "the people" is a social construct too. Assuredly they do not mean as to give Black people (slave or freeman) unfettered access to bear arms. Nor are women, pirates, or Indians being conceived as being part of "the people" in that context.
When they said "well-regulated" they meant regulated as we understand it, and not equipped as is often argued here, they new exactly what they were writing, if the intent had been otherwise it would have been "supplied." Whether you like it or not, that is the word that is used and it is used with purpose.
You may not like Blackwater or its derivatives, and frankly it's just the sort of "select militia" the Founders feared, but under our laws it is legal. I would also add that you really should read the Uniform Militia Act of 1792 if you want to get into what Militia meant at the time.
Look it over.

14. What do the terms
"people" and "corporation" mean today? Which should be empowered and which should have their power curtailed?
You can demand to have militias regulated all you want, but the people are guaranteed the right to bear arms. Period. So yes, they knew exactly What they were writing.
"...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".
But that, again, is beside the point. About half the voting population owns guns - you know, the "people". They are real. They aren't some ideology based on a construct derived from an esoteric understanding of eighteenth century social organization. When they read the constitution they will recognize the word "people" and understand it for what it is and how the phrase in which it is used applies to them. They don't care what you think. And if you're a politician or a political party that tries to sell them on any ideology ignores their humanity they will hand you a one way bus ticket to the political wilderness and tell you to go fuck yourself.

why should you care? You can parse, dodge, weave and evade all you want but in the end the second amendment protects the people the right to bear arms whether they're in a militia or not. It's right there in plain English.
If you look back at this sub thread you will find you have been defending an interpretation of the 2A that was designed to support an ideology, not real people. When it comes to guns and all that your entire point is moot. That ship has sailed and it ain't coming back.
I'm not really interested in guns. I'm interested in how people seem to be so willing to acquire and embrace an ideology with little thought to its application in the real world. We seem to just hear something that feels good and seize it like a kid in a candy store. And then when questioned we either produce reams of esoteric rationalizations or worse, shop for them elsewhere.
None of that stuff matters; the Federalist papers, the meaning of "regulated", or "arms", the militia act of whenever, or comma placement in the 2A. All that matters is how we interpret the constitution in the context of today's reality. Its right there in the constitution and the voting public has interpreted it. Period.
If Democrats don't like the conservative cast of the supreme court they should reconsider the wisdom of generating a political ideology that hands an important issue to the Republicans on a silver platter. When Democrats gin up reams of esoteric rationalizations to support an ideology that clearly disagrees with the letter and the spirit of the constitution and the will of the public they look just like the arrogant, condescending elitists Republicans want them to be.

9. They are doing what their constituents elected them to do - protect gun rights.
You seem to have forgotten. In the 2010 election the NRA made signifigant gains. The voters elected strongly pro-gun Senators and Representatives. Just a reminder of the results:
U.S. Senate
19 of NRA-PVF's 25 endorsed U.S. Senate candidates won. This marks a pro-gun upgrade of eight Senate seats.
In the 111th Congress, there were 43 A-rated and 34 F-rated Senators. The 112th Congress will contain 50 A-rated (+7) and 33 F-rated Senators (-1).
There will be 12 pro-gun Senate freshmen.
U.S. House
Of the 282 candidates endorsed by the NRA-PVF for the U.S. House, 227 were victorious, for an 80% winning percentage. In every case but one where an NRA-PVF endorsed candidate lost, a pro-gun challenger replaced him.
In the 111th Congress, there were 226 A-rated and 151 F-rated Representatives. The 112th Congress will contain 262 A-rated (+32) and 133 F-rated (-18) Members.
There were pro-gun election upgrades in 27 House districts.
You can continue to believe that people want gun control but the elections tell an entirely different story. You can continue to believe that the NRA is a paper tiger but they seem to be doing quite well in getting pro-gun candidates elected.

12. Reasons why.
The reality here is clear: the Constitution states that public safety/general welfare are of public interest and that there is a right to keep and bear arms within the context of "a well-regulated Militia."
Of course we have had this discussion many times before.
All nine Supreme Court justices and President Obama have all agreed that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right regardless of membership in any organization such as a militia.
Also, as you know, the militias spoken of in the Constitution - decentralized, state-controlled military forces designed to counter federal military power, no longer exist.
For all practical and legal purposes, you need to face the reality that the preambulatory phrase of the second amendment does not exist.
The courts and the president have upheld that you don't have to be in a militia to keep and bear arms, and there is no militia to belong to if you wanted to.
Can anyone tell me why we haven't done better in this country? Can anyone tell me why we cannot do better in this country? Can anyone tell me why we shouldn't do better in this country?
If by "better" you mean why can't you have more gun control, the answer is simple: you are on the losing side of this issue. The public is against you, and the 40-80 million gun owners are against you and highly politically motivated. We vote and we spend to defend our rights. Your side can't vote or spend to match. Thus you lose.

16. "the preambulatory phrase of the second amendment does not exist."
You're telling me that the Courts just struck down an entire phrase of the United States Constitution wholesale?
(2) Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Courts opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Millers holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those in common use at the time finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.

22. Nope.
You're telling me that the Courts just struck down an entire phrase of the United States Constitution wholesale?
No, not at all.
The courts recognize that the point of the second amendment was primarily a deterrence to federal tyranny. As such, it is more important for the arms to be in the hands of the people, and not in the hands of a government institution.
This is undoubtedly why the amendment specifically says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and not the right of the states, or the right of the militias.
The Courts and the President did not strike down the phrase, they simply realize that you don't need militias in order to keep the right to keep and bear arms.
The militias need the armed people, but the armed people don't need the militias.
And I ask you again:
Why did the founders continue the decentralized, state-run militia system instead of a centralized militia under the control of the federal government?

What I actually wrote was:
"For all practical and legal purposes, you need to face the reality that the preambulatory phrase of the second amendment does not exist."
And that is a true statement.
For all practical and legal purposes, the preambulatory phrase of the second amendment does not exist.
The militia spoken of in that phrase no longer exists, and all nine Supreme Court justices and the President have said it doesn't matter anyway.
This is a much more complex historical question than you care to hazard and I do not have the time to engage in it at length. Toodles.
I understand completely why you are afraid to answer the question.
And it doesn't take long to address at all.
The founders continued the decentralized militia system because the purpose of the militias was to be able to eliminate or counter federal military power, because standing armies were considered "dangerous to liberty", because they would give the central government the ability to use force to oppress the people.
A centralized militia system would be counter to this idea.
Once you recognize this central truth about the function the militias were to serve, then you can understand why once those militias ceased to exist, the only reasonable default condition for the second amendment is for that ability to fall to the people.
Which, of course, is precisely why the second amendment is worded the way it is, reserving the right to the people, and not to the states or the militias spoken of in the preamble.

This is telling you that for practical and legal purposes, the preambulatory phrase of the second amendment doesn't exist.
Practically, because the militias spoken of don't exist anymore. There are no militias necessary to the security of free states anymore.
Legally, because the Supreme Court has unanimously ruled, and the President of the United States agrees, that you don't have to belong to a militia to exercise your individual right to keep and bear arms.
You'll note, by the way, that during the debate of the second amendment while it was being framed an attempt was made to include "for the common defense" after "bear arms" and that was struck down.
Now if it makes you feel better to say that this means that the SC and the President have struck down part of the Constitution, hey, knock yourself out.
But that's not my opinion.
My opinion is the SC and the President understand what the militias were meant to do and what role the people were to fulfill in those militias, and they understand that those militias are gone. And they said, "The Amendments prefatory clause announces a purpose, but does not limit or expand the scope of the second part, the operative clause." In other words, the people are intended to keep and bear arms for militia service, but not just militia service, and the right doesn't go away if there is no militia to serve in.
They also said, "The Antifederalists feared that the Federal Government would disarm the people in order to disable this citizens militia, enabling a politicized standing army or a select militia to rule. The response was to deny Congress power to abridge the ancient right of individuals to keep and bear arms, so that the ideal of a citizens militia would be preserved." Emphasis mine. In other words, the ideal being upheld was for the people, through the militias, to be able to resist oppression by the federal government. Even though the militias are gone, in order to uphold that ideal, the rest of the amendment must still apply.
Perhaps you'll find some free time this weekend to answer my question about why the founders perpetuated a decentralized military? Although the Supreme Court already gave you the answer in the paragraph immediately above.

38. I appreciate your lengthy attempt at an argument...
...but that is what you said and it didn't change the meaning. No matter how hard you try and Romney that one
2. The Supreme Court did not unanimously rule - there are 3 different opinions in Heller and there is nothing unanimous about it. Cites please!
3. POTUS is an elected office with no power to change the Constitution.
4. This still tells us nothing about the scope of the Second Amendment in regards to the restrictions that all 9 SCTOUS members agree exist.
5. You and I have had this argument before and I'll be away much of this weekend and don't need to stage it again because as you yourself acknowledge, you take "absurd" positions for the sake of hyperbole. I have no desire at this moment to debate an extremist position at length regarding the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

39. No matter how many times you try and put words in my mouth, it won't work.
But like I said, if it makes you feel better to think that the SC and the president struck down part of the Constitution, knock yourself out.
The Supreme Court did not unanimously rule - there are 3 different opinions in Heller and there is nothing unanimous about it. Cites please!
But the justices were unanimous in their opinion that the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right. You can look it up yourself.
This still tells us nothing about the scope of the Second Amendment in regards to the restrictions that all 9 SCTOUS members agree exist.
And this will no doubt be decided by future law. What we do know is that you don't have to belong to a militia to exercise your individual right to keep and bear arms and there is no such militia to join if you wanted to.
you take "absurd" positions for the sake of hyperbole.
Yup, but this is not one of them.
I have no desire at this moment to debate an extremist position at length regarding the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.
You won't answer because you are afraid. You see the trap before you and you refuse to step into it. Once you admit what role the decentralized militias were to fulfill you can no longer argue what role the people were to fulfill.
And you know it. Your argument is shot. Run away to your baseball game.

45. It might be because most further restrictions are either expensive, intrusive, or unworkable.
Mental health evaluation before buying a gun? So what's the criteria, and who sets it? In some places, "I want a gun for self-defense" is not a reason unless you routinely carry around huge amounts of cash. Should that be the standard?
And where are we going to get a million mental-health evaluations a month done on top of everything else? And who pays for it?
Outlawing lawfully concealed or open carry? And how will this stop the guy that sticks a sawed-off shotgun under an overcoat to go rob a c-store?
National mandatory registration? Yeah, until the gun is stolen... as most guns used by career criminals are. Plus the issue of the pre-existing 240 millions guns already in circulation that aren't registered.
Ammunition purchasing limits? To what, 5 rounds a day? Anything past 5 dead bodies is a mass murder, so attempting to limit ammo purchases to prevent a mass shooting requires a purchase limit so low at to be untenetable. And shotguns... up to 15 pellets per shot!
Restricting ammunition to guns you already own? Well, aside from the fact that it requires registration of your guns first, there are 3 extremely common autopistol cartridges and 3 extremely common revolver cartridges. The 9mm Luger, the .40 S&W, and the .45 ACP probably account for 80% or more of autopistol ammunition sales, and the .38 Special, the .357 Magnum, and the .45 Colt probably account for 80% or more of revolver ammunition sales. Limiting a person to purchasing "only" 9mm ammo it like limiting a person to "only" purchasing a red car.
Private-sale background checks? Not a bad idea, but beyond the scope of federal law. It would have to be done on a state-by-state basis.
Safe-storage laws? Useful only for after-the-tragedy prosecutions, unless gun owners (you know, US citizens) were subject to random, unannounced spot inspections by the police. You know, like parolees duly convicted of a crime are subject to.
Smart guns? Let the cops use the technology first. If the rank-and-file cops will put their trust in guns that have electronic lockouts and such on them, I'm interested. If they won't, though... if they will only trust a purely mechanical gun like a Glock, then I'm not interested.
Microstamping? Again, requires registration to work and won't matter to the crazed mass-shooter. And, of course, IT DOESN'T WORK from a mechanical perspective.
Barcoding individual bullets? Requires ammunition registration, and then the purchaser cannot confirm the number etched on the bullet is the same as the box label. In other words, reasonable doubt. It would also send the price of new ammunition through the roof, encouraging people to discover the wonderful hobby of... handloading their own ammunition!
If the NY Times wants to see violent crimes drop (which would by necessity include gun-grime rates) then the would advocate for drug legalization.

Architectural Design Detail / Grand
Charged with refitting a dark stairway as an art gallery, John DeForest, AIA, and Stephen Click responded with a composition of folded planes that constitutes a sculpture in its own right. A large skylight above and vertical slot windows wash the stairwell with light, which filters through treads and risers of perforated steel. A guardrail of blackened steel plate provides structural support and a visual counterpoint to the stair's ethereal transparency. Our judges called the detailing "incredibly competent" and admitted unanimously a temptation to copy the design in their own projects.

How do I know if my implants have dropped?
Doctor Answers 7
What you really what to know....
.....is whether they have dropped "enough". The bottom line is that you should look at the position of the implants and decide if you like the amount of fullness on top (if it is still too much, then you want them to drop more). If you're happy with where they are sitting, then it is time to LOCK THEM IN. This means it is time to wear a supportive brassiere that gives a little lift to the breasts. However, if you do want them to drop some more, then stay in a loose top such as a cami top or tank. Wearing a tight bra before they drop with keep them from settling into a better position.
Because of my technique and postop regimen, most of my patients will have their implants in the desired location within 6-8 weeks.
Hang it there. Things should work out.
Best of luck.

Implants settle over time
and if you've reached a point where you don't want any more settling, support with a bra is needed for months to allow your tissue to 'secure' itself. If your implants are excessively full on top, then you should be doing things to help them settle faster. Your surgeon should have transferred your care to someone else as surgeon's can't simply leave and abandon their patients so find out who that is and seek further advice.
Have my implants dropped?
Thank you for your question. It takes approximately 3-6 months for the implants to heal completely and settle/drop. Give yourself that time to really heal before you see your final results from your augmentation.

I appreciate your question.
Right now, you are early on in the post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine you. Then reassess final result at 6 months.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.
Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.
Best of luck!

How do I know if my implants have dropped?
Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure.
Generally speaking, breast implants will "drop" into the pocket that was created during surgery. The rate of breast implant "settling" may depend on factors such as size of breast implant pocket dissected, tightness of the overlying skin/muscle layers, and size of breast implant utilized. Normally, it takes about 3-6 months (for some patients longer) to see the final result.
Generally, patients know that the breast implants have dropped into their final position once the implants have "rounded out" the lower breast poles, and the breasts demonstrate appropriate aesthetics ( volume of breast implant below nipple/areola complexes in relation to volume of breast implants above nipple/areola complexes).
If in doubt, seek in-person evaluation with board-certified plastic surgeons in your area. Best wishes.

Breast Augmentation - Post Op Swelling? Implants Drop?
Thank you for your question and photos. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 3 - 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

How do I know if my breast implants have dropped?
It usually takes at least 3 months for implants to drop.What you want to see is the fullness of the breast change from above the nipple to below the nipple areola. Call your surgeons office and ask about breast displacement exercises.

Session Debug Manager
The session debug manager (SDM) manages any number of debug engines (DE) debugging any number of programs in multiple processes on any number of machines. In addition to being a debug engine multiplexer, the SDM provides a unified view of the debug session to the IDE.
The session debug manager (SDM) manages the DE. There may be more than one debug engine running on a machine at the same time. To multiplex the DEs, the SDM wraps a number of interfaces from the DEs and exposes them to the IDE as a single interface.
To increase performance, some interfaces are not multiplexed. Instead, they are used directly from the DE, and calls to these interfaces do not go through the SDM. For example, interfaces used with memory, code, and document contexts are not multiplexed, because they refer to a specific instruction, memory, or document in a specific program debugged by a specific DE. No other DE needs to be involved in that level of communication.
This is not true of all contexts. Calls to the expression evaluation context interface go through the SDM. During expression evaluation, the SDM wraps the IDebugExpression2 interface that it gives to the IDE because when that expression is evaluated, it may involve multiple DEs that are debugging programs in the same process that might be running on the same thread.
The SDM typically acts as a delegation mechanism, but it might act as a broadcast mechanism. For example, during expression evaluation, the SDM acts as a broadcast mechanism to notify all DEs that they can run code on a specified thread. Similarly, when the SDM receives a stopping event, it broadcasts to all programs that they should stop running. When a step is called, the SDM broadcasts to all the programs that they can continue running. Breakpoints are also broadcast to every DE.
The SDM does not track the current program, thread, or stack frame. The process, program, and thread information is sent to the SDM in conjunction with specific debugging events.


text: LINDA A. JOHNSONPfizer Inc. said Tuesday that its first-quarter profit fell 19 percent, mainly because new generic competition to its blockbuster cholesterol pill Lipitor cut U.S. sales by 15 percent as the drugmaker offered big rebates and discounts to keep patients on its brand. The world's biggest drugmaker beat Wall Street's profit expectations but narrowly missed its sales forecast. It lowered its adjusted profit forecast for 2012 by 6 cents, to $2.14 to $2.24 per share. Analysts had predicted $2.26 per share. Including one-time items, it expects earnings per share of $1.23 to $1.38. New York-based Pfizer said the change was due to its recent decision to sell its infant-nutirition business to Swiss food and drink giant Nestle SA for $11.85 billion. The steep drop in Lipitor revenue was factored into its previous forecasts. The maker of Viagra said net income was $1.79 billion, or 24 cents per share, down from $2.22 billion, or 28 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding one-time items, Pfizer would have made $4.43 billion, or 58 cents per share. Analysts were expected 56 cents a share. Revenue totaled $15.4 billion, down 7 percent from $16.5 billion a year ago. Analysts were expecting $15.46 billion. Sales in the U.S., where Pfizer's patent expired on Nov. 30 for Lipitor, the top-selling drug in history, fell to $5.95 billion, from $7.02 billion. International sales edged up 1 percent, to $9.45 billion. Lipitor sales fell 42 percent, to $1.4 billion from $2.39 billion. "I am pleased with out first-quarter 2012 financial performance, which was driven by growth in certain brands including Celebrex, Enbrel and Lyrica, growth in key geographies such as China" and cost-cutting, CEO Ian Read said in a statement. Revenue from prescription medicines fell 8 percent to $13.07 billion, as sales declined in the oncology, primary care and specialty care businesses.

The mission of the Psychology Program is to develop appropriate skill knowledge and values for students who expect to continue their education at the graduate level or who plan careers in health, education, business, social, or religious work. The goals of the psychology program focus on a wide and diverse range of human experience and behavior related to development, emotion, intellect, learning, personality, normal and abnormal, rehabilitation, and research. This knowledge enables the individual to better understand self and others, to realize unique potentialities more fully, and to enhance one's humaneness as well as to significantly affect behavior.
Upon completion of this program, it is expected that students will:
- Have a general understanding and appreciation of the role of human behavior, particularly at the individual, familial, organizational and societal levels;
- Demonstrate knowledge of the biological and conceptual languages of the brain and their potential permutations and combinations, and the ability to apply this knowledge to the creation of new frameworks of thought;
- Have a general understanding and appreciation of the connection between scientific inquiry and the creative and artistic dimensions in the field of psychology; and
- Be able to engage in ethical analysis of the profession problems in light of the Code of Professional Ethics outlined by the American Psychological Association.

Alex Haley & Black History
Alexander Murray Palmer Haley (August 11, 1921 – February 10, 1992) was an African-American writer. He is best known as the author of Roots: The Saga of an American Family and the co-author of The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Black History Month, also known as African-American History Month, is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora./5
Alex Haley Black History Pulitzer Prize Martin Luther King Jr York Times Best Seller Alice Walker New York Times Best American Book Award New York Alcorn State University Alcorn State Muhammad Ali Rosa Parks Harriet Tubman Ben Carson Thurgood Marshall
I remember for Black History my momsz use to make us watch the "ROOTS" series by Alex Haley about our Mandingko...
This Day in Black History, April 18, 1977: Author and historian Alex Haley was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in journalism for his groundbreaking novel Roots: The Saga of an American Family on this day in 1977. In the book, Haley traced generations of his family's history to Kunta Kinte, an 18th-century African sold into slavery in the American South. Roots spent 20 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list. That same year it was turned into an equally successful miniseries that was viewed by more Americans than any other program in the history of television at the time. In addition to Roots, Haley interviewed dozens of prominent African-Americans including Martin Luther King Jr., Miles Davis and Malcolm X for a series that ran in Playboy magazine, and also penned the international bestseller The Autobiography of Malcolm X: As Told to Alex Haley. Haley died in Seattle on February 10, 1992. He was 70.
It is officially Black History month, the shortest month on the calendar...so let's rock it out! My first black mail pic is of me, Maurice N Kesha Dozier Harris and the legend Alex Haley! lol dozier Harris
When I was younger I thought Black History month was cool. As I got older I realized that the Great African Americans deserved more than a month to be celebrated(The shortest month at that smh). MLK, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglas, Alex Haley, Harriet Tubman, Thurgood Marshall, Ben Carson, Muhammad Ali and more deserve to be recognized 24/7 365
Today in Black History: April 18, 1977 Alex Haley, author of "Roots" was awarded Pultizer Prize. Also on April 18, 1983 Alice Walker is awarded the Pulitzer Prize for The Color Purple. Ten days later the novel will also win the American Book Award for fiction.

Rome, Italy – The AWEPA Section in the Italian Parliament has been formally reconstituted, with Hon. Lia Quartapelle as its new Head of Section.
Hon. Quartapelle is a Member of the Italian Parliament since 2013 and a member and secretary of the Foreign Affairs Committee. As a researcher at the Institute for International Policy Studies in Milan, she specialised in development economics, foreign aid and African economic development and international relations.
On the occasion of her appointment, Hon. Quartapelle affirmed that "the relationship between Europe and Africa has always been a historical one. […] Italy, in particular, plays a pivotal role in uniting Europe and Africa. I believe that parliaments can significantly strengthen diplomatic ties between the two continents."
In addition, the Section appointed two Deputy Heads, namely Mr. Jean Leonard Touadi (former Member of Parliament and AWEPA member) and Hon. Manlio Di Stefano (Member of the Chamber of Deputies). Furthermore, a Treasurer, Hon. Emma Fattorini (Member of the Senate) and a Secretary, Hon. Mario Marazziti (Member of the Chamber of Deputies) were appointed.
The main priorities of the Section over the coming period will be twofold, namely:
- to provide support to the capacity building of the Somali Parliament; and
- to address the topics of food and nutrition in relation to Italy's Expo Milano 2015, a non-commercial universal exposition around the theme "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life".

Blessed George Nichols (c.1550 — October 19, 1589) was an English Catholic martyr.
Born at Oxford in 1550, George Nichols entered Brasenose College, a constituent college of the University of Oxford, in 1564 or 1565 where he received his B.A. degree in 1571.[1] He went on to become an usher and a teacher at St. Paul's School in London where he was received into the Catholic Church. Nichols went overseas in November 1581 to enroll at the Douai College (located in Rheims at the time); which was a seminary for English Catholic priests. He became a subdeacon and deacon in April, 1583, and was shortly ordained a priest by Louis II, Cardinal of Guise on September 24, 1583. That same year he was sent back to Oxford for his mission.
In Oxford, Catholicism was increasing rapidly. Nichols during this time had converted many to the Catholic faith, notably a convicted highwayman in Oxford Castle. In May of 1589 he was arrested at the Catherine Wheel Inn, opposite of St. Mary Magdalen's Church, in Oxford, with another priest Richard Yaxley, and two laymen, Humphrey Prichard and Thomas Belson.
The four men were ultimately sent to Bridewell Prison in London, where Nichols and Yaxley, were hung from their hands for up to fifteen hours to make them betray their faith, but without any success. Nichols was then separated from the rest of the three prisoners and put into a dungeon full of vermin. On June 30 all four were ordered back to Oxford for their trial. Nichols and his fellow prisoners were tried under the recent statute imposing the death sentence on any Englishman ordained abroad who entered England, and on anyone helping such a person. All were condemned, the priests for treason, the laymen for felony. On July 5, 1589, Nichols and Yaxley were hanged, drawn, and quartered, while Belson and Prichard were hanged. George Nichols, having been refused permission to address the crowd, made it clear that he was being executed merely because he was a priest. After the execution the priests' heads were set up on the castle, and their quarters on the four city gates. The severity of the punishment seemed to have an effect on the people of Oxford for it would be 20 years before another Catholic recusant was executed in Oxford.[2] [3]
In 1987, Nichols and the three other prisoners were among eighty-five martyrs of England and Wales to be beatified by Pope John Paul II.

Tony Adams reckons Harry Redknapp is the new Ron Greenwood.
The former England captain, Redknapp's No.2 at Portsmouth, has ambitions to be the boss again after his short spell at Wycombe.
But for now the 41-year-old is happy to learn from the man who follows a long tradition of East End managers.
"When I see Harry he reminds me of people like Ron Greenwood, Dave Sexton and John Lyall," said Adams. "He's a bit like my dad to be honest, he was an East End man like Harry.
"When he works I can see Ron Greenwood in him.
"All managers are different but what they have to do is spot a player and he can do that. It's nine tenths of the job."
The ex-Arsenal defender added: "I have played five FA Cup semi-finals and lost two. I said to the guys the average professional footballers' career at the top level is six years. I told them: 'Make sure you have no regrets because you are a long time retired'."

Wonderful things are happening for the children and families that AWARE Inc. serves. Opening an AWARE Early Childhood Center in Billings, Mont., is among one of many new opportunities in store.
Currently, AWARE is in the process of refurbishing a building on the south side of Billings with plans to open sometime in 2017. AWARE will serve prenatal moms, parents and children birth to four.
At the center, AWARE is proud to offer child care and education through Early Head Start, Successful Starts and Preschool. Welcoming children and their families of all backgrounds and abilities, the center will also include its signature mental health services, offering family consultation, outpatient therapy and parenting classes, among others.
It is true! Development of young, influential minds is important. We love that parents are willing to make AWARE's staff and teachers part of their team. But to welcome as many Billings families as possible, we're going to need plenty of help!
We kindly ask for your support!
On Thursday, May 4, 2017, AWARE is participating in a special fundraising program called Yellowstone Valley Gives. Basically, it's a one-day (24-hour) "crowdfunding" online fundraiser. It will help local nonprofit organizations generate donations for important projects, like the AWARE Early Childhood Center in Billings.
Your donation will help refurbish the building and install a playground. Also, the donations will help with tuition for each child. It costs about $17,000 per year for one child to attend the center. While AWARE has received generous federal grants, the kids and their families are still in need of help to offset tuition.
There are three things you can do:
1.) On May 4, 2017, go to the Yellowstone Valley Gives website and make a donation to AWARE. Any size donation is welcome and appreciated. Thank you!
2.) Encourage your friends and family to help Billings kids and their families by donating. All you have to do is share the AWARE Yellowstone Gives link on your Facebook page. Feel free to copy and paste the one of the graphic at the bottom, and either type your own message, or feel free to use the one included with the graphic.
3.) At any time, mail or drop off your generous donation at the AWARE office in Billings: 1050 S. 25th St. W Ste. 2, Billings, Montana 59102.
