Exit poll: Obama sweeps across Massachusetts demographics
Results of a survey of Massachusetts voters in Tuesday's elections, according to an exit poll conducted for The Associated Press:
As expected, Democratic President Barack Obama had a sweeping win in rival Mitt Romney's home state, with the former Massachusetts governor finding majority support in just scattered demographic groups. Voters between ages 40 and 49 preferred Romney, but 8 in 10 voters were outside that group. Romney also found a narrow majority of support among white men, but that was offset by white women, 6 of 10 of whom went for Obama. Among Romney's strongest supporters were self-described conservatives, three-quarters of whom supported him. But they accounted for just 1 in 5 voters in the Bay State. Overall, voters didn't have warm feelings for their former governor, with almost two-thirds viewing him unfavorably. By contrast, Obama had a favorable rating from about two-thirds of the voters.
Both candidates for U.S. Senate pushed hard for the female vote, and Democrat Elizabeth Warren captured it decisively, winning the votes of nearly 6 in 10 women. Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown captured the male vote, but the margin was smaller and men were outnumbered in the electorate. Brown did well among the independents that are the largest voting group in Massachusetts, winning 6 out of 10. But he couldn't peel off many of the Democrats who make up nearly 4 out of 10 voters. Nearly 9 out of 10 Democrats went for Warren.
About a third of voters thought honesty and trustworthiness mattered most when they cast their vote for U.S. Senate, and Brown was the clear choice for those voters. But whether the candidate the candidate "cares about people like me" was a close second in importance, Warren ran away with those voters, with 8 in 10 choosing her. A willingness to compromise was most important to one in five voters, and Brown made a strong showing among them. Party affiliation mattered most to just 1 in 10 voters, most of whom chose Warren.
Obama's support across Massachusetts was geographically wide and deep. Two-thirds of voters in Boston and the surrounding urban and suburban areas preferred Obama. But the support extended to the more rural areas in western Massachusetts, where Obama won a clear majority of voters. The only area where Romney was preferred was the South Shore of Boston to Cape Cod, where the Republican pulled half the vote.
The economy was the top issue on Massachusetts voters' minds Tuesday, and nothing else was close. About two-thirds of voters chose that as their top issue, and Obama took the majority of them. Health care was a distant second, with about 1 out of 6 voters considering that issue as most important. Nearly eight in 10 of those voters preferred Obama. Romney won a majority among voters who considered the budget deficit the most important issue, but they only amounted to about 1 of every 10 voter.
Massachusetts voters have apparently had their minds made up on the presidential race for quite a while. Nearly 8 in 10 voters said they knew who they were going to vote for before September.
The intense campaign for U.S. Senate included attacks by Brown on Warren's unverified claims of Indian heritage, while Warren hammered Brown's claims of independence from his party and record on women's issues. When it was all over, about a third of voters thought that both Brown and Warren attacked their opponent unfairly at times. That's larger than any group that said only one candidate was at fault, and that group split their vote between the candidates evenly. About a quarter of voters thought only Brown was unfair, while 1 in 5 voters said Warren was solely to blame for unfair attacks.
Just over half of Massachusetts voters said the government should do more to solve problems while a significant portion of Bay Staters, nearly five out of 10, believe government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals.
The exit poll of 1,920 Massachusetts voters was conducted for AP and the television networks by Edison Research in a random sample of 30 precincts statewide. Results were subject to sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points; it is higher for subgroups.

Konrad Burchardi and Benedetta Lerva to publish in the QJE
The paper "Moral Hazard: Experimental Evidence from Tenancy Contracts", by Konrad Burchardi, Benedetta Lerva and collaborators, has been accepted for publication in the top 5 journal Quarterly Journal of Economics.
Assistant Professor Konrad Burchardi and IIES graduate student Benedetta Lerva have had their paper "Moral Hazard: Experimental Evidence from Tenancy Contracts'' (with Selim Gulesci (Bocconi) and Munshi Sulaiman (BRAC Institute of Governance and Development) accepted for publication in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, one of the world's top 5 publications in economics.
We wanted to learn more and sat down with Konrad for a Q&A.
Can you summarize what your paper is about?
Sure. We test an old hypothesis for why agricultural productivity might be low. Imagine a tenant farmer who rents land from a landlord, needs to pay for seeds and fertilizer himself, and at the end of the season pays 50% of the agricultural output to the landlord as compensation for the land. Economists have long pointed out that with such output sharing rules the tenant farmers incur the full costs of any investments but only get to keep a fraction of the returns to their investments, and they theorize that this leave tenant farmers with insufficient incentives to invest. For example, the farmers might simply not purchase fertilizer, and this might drive low agricultural output.
We tested this theory by conducting an experiment in collaboration with a partner organization in Uganda: we rented out land to tenant farmers, chose randomly a subset of them to be allowed to keep a higher share of output, and observed how the farmers' behavior and agricultural output responded under those different output sharing rules.
We find that farmers whose contracts allow them to keep 75% of output produce 60% more than farmers who are only allowed to keep 50% of output. That is a surprisingly large output response. But we show that it can be explained by two things: the farmers with the higher output share invest more in inputs, and they choose more profitable, but risky, inputs and techniques.
What are the most important lessons policy makers can learn from your paper?
A large fraction of the world's poor households rely on agricultural income to support their family, but agricultural productivity is notoriously low. Increasing agricultural productivity is hence seen as one way to improve the lives of the poor.
At the same time, farmers in developing countries are often exposed to such output sharing rules that only allow them to keep part of the output. There are many reasons for this, amongst them formal or informal taxes, insecure property rights or formal agreements with the landlords such as the one I just described. What our research shows is that any policy that has the effect of giving farmers a larger share in output likely provides them with the incentives needed to make the choices that increase output.
Where does the idea for this paper originate from?
The core idea of this paper is very old. The famous economist Alfred Marshall wrote about the incentive effects of output sharing rules when discussing late 19th century agriculture in Britain. Anybody who studied development economics will know about it. In fact, his analysis is really the main predecessor of most modern economic theories analyzing the role of incentives for decision making. What we contribute is a rigorous test and quantification of how important those factors are to understand agricultural productivity in developing countries today.
How does it feel now that your paper is accepted?
I remember the times when I started reading academic papers, and I recall that many of the papers that most impressed me where published in The Quarterly Journal of Economics. That they now publish the results of our work is very humbling. And wonderful.

I have a recurring nightmare in which I�ve just lost something important � most often my car, but in other versions a suitcase, my clothes, or the location of a classroom where I�m due for an exam.
What�s strange about that is that I�ve been losing things all my life when I�m wide awake.
As a kid in school, it was mittens. I seldom lost a pair, but regularly came home with only one. �What happened to the other one?� my mother would ask me.
My stock answer: �I don�t know, I lost it.�
I began to feel a real kinship with the Three Little Kittens, but my mom never deprived me of milk.
�Sometimes I think you�d lose your head if it wasn�t tied on,� she�d say. Remarkably, I never had a dream about losing my head. But I was a real loser right from the get-go.
I lost pencils, pens, erasers, notebooks, rulers, ink blotters, protractors, whatever.
I even lost my lunch box on more than one occasion, sometimes with my lunch still in it.
I joined the Navy at 17, and continued losing stuff.
One memorable night, on helm duty, it was the stern light on the ship ahead in a convoy through minefields. Whenever we had lifeboat drills, I could never find the boat to which I�d been assigned. And I may have been the only sailor who came home without a seabag. I lost mine on a train ride back from San Francisco.
Back in civilian life, I lost a briefcase containing all kinds of confidential interoffice memos. I had a frozen lock on the driver�s door, and I stuck the briefcase on the car roof while I jiggered it loose with a key. By the time I got inside, I�d forgotten all about it, and it flew off in a winter wind somewhere between Worcester and West Boylston.
We took in a movie one night, and found ourselves later in the theater parking lot in the middle of a blizzard. Where we�d parked escaped us. One car after another left the scene, and we were finally out there on the tundra alone, resigned to the terrible realization that our car was more than just lost.
It was stolen.
I don�t know how many umbrellas I�ve lost in my time. I quit buying them after a while. Now I keep a rain poncho handy � or did, at least, �til I lost it. And I�ve lost more combs than I have umbrellas, by a factor of probably 10.
At a spring-training baseball game in Florida a few years ago, I bought hot dogs to take back to our seats, and managed to leave my wallet behind at the vendor�s stand. I made my way to the Lost and Found Department in the ballpark, but the vendor had already packed up and left, most likely with my money and all my credit cards.
I lost another wallet once and discovered it a year later wedged behind the back seat, the only good thing I can recall ever happening in my 1964 Rambler wagon, which used more oil than Air Force One.
There was a time when I had a valuable little doohickey you could put on your car keys and when you clapped your hands it beeped, leading you to the place they were hiding. Naturally, I lost that too.
I realize it could be a lot worse. Heck, I could be Mitt Romney or the Red Sox � or Hostess Twinkies for that matter.

"Finding out the gender of the baby is one of the biggest things many families look forward to during pregnancy, whether they have a preference or not.
Most average pregnancies under OB/GYN care in the United States undergo two ultrasounds — one at the end of the first trimester, around 9-13 weeks, and another around the end of the second, around 18-22 weeks, the latter being the "gender ultrasound" most frequently.
But what if you could find out at that first ultrasound, and NOT because you can see baby's family goods? According to a certain study, you can with 97 percent accuracy!
Researchers did a transvaginal ultrasound (you know, the fun wand up your vagina) at 6 weeks on more than 5,300 women and hypothesied gender due to one marker. Then a transabdominal ultrasound (the one on your belly) at 18-20 weeks, and their method of gender determination was right 98-99 percent of the time!
Obviously you're wondering what they could possible see at 6 weeks gestation that would tell them anything about the sex of the baby, right?
The placenta!
Or more specifically, the location of the placenta — 97.2 percent of boys had their placenta on the right side of the uterus at that 6 week ultrasound, and 97.5 percent of girls had theirs on the left. Crazy, isn't it? According to their study, this method should be considered "highly reliable" in determining gender within the first few weeks of pregnancy.
I tried to look at ultrasounds of mine and many of my friends, but I'm no radiologist, so I'm not quite sure where the placenta is, especially in some of the less clear images. Apparently if your first ultrasound was transabdominal, the image is flipped, so you'd reverse the sides.
Get out your ultrasounds, ladies! Was this true for you?"

Dire turnouts have threatened to undermine the first generation of police and crime commissioners (PCC) with as few as 10% of voters casting their ballots in some areas.
Fears of poor participation in the election of the new commissioners appeared to be confirmed as the first results came in, with Wiltshire declaring an overall turnout of 15.8%. But it was even lower in parts of the county, where Tory candidate Angus Macpherson was elected, with only 10.41% taking part in Devizes. Even in Humberside, where Lord Prescott's name on the ballot paper raised the profile of the election, turnout was only 19.48%.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper accused the Government of ignoring warnings of a low turnout and said the elections had been "a complete shambles".
Police Minister Damian Green said it would have been "better" if more people voted, but added: "The measure of this policy is not the turnout, it's what the police and crime commissioners achieve over the next few years."
Ms Cooper said: "We warned the Government repeatedly that they had the wrong approach and that turnout would be low. Theresa May and David Cameron didn't listen and it is shocking that they have spent £100 million on these elections rather than on 3,000 police constables instead."
In the most radical shake-up of the service for half a century, the new commissioners, who are expected to earn up to £100,000 a year, will control police budgets, set priorities and have the power to hire and fire Chief Constables. Elections are being held in 41 police areas outside London. The Electoral Reform Society predicted a turnout of 18.5%, which would be below the previous record low in a national poll in peacetime of 23% in the 1999 European elections.
Asked if the expected low turnout would be a disaster, police and criminal justice minister Damian Green told ITV's Daybreak: "It's a new idea and as will all new ideas it will take some time to get going. It would be better if more people voted but I think people will get more interested, when you try something new it takes people time to get up to speed on it."
Fears of an overall low turnout were compounded as more figures came in from across the counts. In Coventry just 10.54% voted while West Yorkshire recorded 13.76% of the electorate casting a vote. In Lancashire the overall turnout was 15.5%, with just 12.1% of the electorate in Burnley voting.
Speaking at the PCC count in Lancashire, Blackburn MP Jack Straw said: "The turnouts are lamentable but that is the fault of the Government for constructing them in this system in the first place. It was almost as if the Conservatives were embarrassed by the idea of having these polls. Well, some may say they have got what they wished for.
The former home secretary added: "It was crazy to voluntarily choose mid-November for the election. It is cold, it is dark, the clocks have gone back. I was going around on a loudspeaker late yesterday afternoon - I have done this for 40 years - but in the end I gave up."

Mark Buehrle & Melky Cabrera named Honda Co-Player Of The Month
TORONTO BLUE JAYS LHP MARK BUEHRLE & OF MELKY CABRERA will share the HONDA PLAYER OF THE MONTH AWARD for April as selected by the TORONTO CHAPTER of the BBWAA. Honda, the official vehicle of the Blue Jays, will make a donation to the charities selected by Mark and Melky.
BUEHRLE, 35, posted a 4-1 record in five starts with a 2.16 ERA. In his first four starts of the season he was 4-0 with a 0.69 ERA after allowing two earned runs in 28.0 innings pitched making it the best start for any Blue Jays starter in club history after four starts. It marks the first time a Blue Jays pitcher has won the award since July, 2012 (Villanueva).
CABRERA, 29, led Major League Baseball with 41 hits in March/April and posted a .342 batting average with 15 extra base hits and 11 RBI. He becomes the first Blue Jay to lead the league in hits for any month since Aaron Hill opened the 2007 season (38 hits). The switch-hitting outfielder is the only player in club history to have recorded a hit in 25 of the club's first 26 games in any one season.
OF Jose Bautista (.293, 8HR, 18RBI, 30BB) was third in the voting.

While internet seems like an untamed wilderness much of the time, there are actually a surprising number of measures in place to help your wee ones navigate it unharmed. Like, say, systems to keep big bad corporate wolves from gobbling up the personal information of kids under 13.
You know; the ones that McDonald's, Nickelodeon, General Mills, Subway, and Cartoon Network have been outright ignoring on their kid-friendly online honeypots.
As the NY Times reports, nearly 20 children's advocacy groups have banded together to accuse the aforementioned toddler tempters of violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Specifically, the sites in question encourage minors to share the email addresses of their friends without parental consent. What's worse is that it's so clearly an intentional skirting of the law. According to one of the lawyers leading the charge:
"Under the law, they can't just collect e-mail addresses from kids and send them marketing material directly. So they are embedding messages saying, 'Play this game and share it with your friends,' in order to target the friends."
The technical legal term for this sort of thing is "icky," so let's hope this puts an end to it. There are enough predators online as it is without having to worry about HappyMeal.com's intentions.

N. Korea's Kim: Purging uncle removed 'filth'
- Jang Song Thaek%2C No. 2 in power%2C was executed by N. Korea leader
- Kim Jong Un gave annual New Year%27s message
- He also vowed to restart nuclear bomb fuel production
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Wednesday boasted of a surge of internal strength in the new year because of the elimination of "factionalist filth" — a reference to his once powerful uncle and mentor, whose purge and execution last month have raised questions about the country's stability.
Kim's comments in an annual New Year's message, including those focusing on one of the biggest political developments in Pyongyang in years, and certainly since the young leader took power two years ago after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il, will be closely scrutinized by outside analysts and governments for clues about the opaque country's intentions and policy goals.
North Korea's "resolute" action to "eliminate factionalist filth" within the ruling Workers' Party has bolstered the country's unity "by 100 times," Kim said in a speech broadcast by state TV.
Analysts are divided about what Jang Song Thaek's execution on treason charges means, but many believe it shows Kim Jong Un has yet to establish the same absolute power that his father and grandfather enjoyed. Jang was widely considered the country's No. 2 power.
Officials in Seoul say potential instability in the North could lead to the country launching provocations against South Korea to help consolidate internal unity. Attacks blamed on North Korea killed 50 South Koreans in 2010, and tension on the Korean Peninsula still lingers, although Pyongyang has backed away from war rhetoric from early last year that included threats of nuclear attacks against Washington and Seoul.
North Korea has also vowed to restart nuclear bomb fuel production. The country conducted its third nuclear test in February and is estimated to have a handful of crude nuclear devices and to be working toward building a warhead small enough to mount on a long-range missile. Most experts say that goal may take years to achieve.
The rival Koreas share one of the world's most heavily armed borders, with hundreds of thousands of combat-ready troops facing each other along the mine-strewn Demilitarized Zone. The 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty, leaving the peninsula technically in a state of war. About 28,500 American troops are deployed in South Korea to help deter North Korean aggression.
During his two years in power, Kim Jong Un has overseen nuclear and missile tests, other high-profile purges and a barrage of threats. His father took a much more low-profile approach when he took over after Kim Il Sung's 1994 death.
Kim Jong Un, who also spoke publicly last New Year's Day, appears to be following in his grandfather's steps, the country's founder Kim Il Sung, who gave public New Year's readings on state television and radio until his 1994 death. Under the more private Kim Jong Il, the North's leading newspapers released the annual statement in a joint editorial.

Itinerary at a Glance
The below itinerary is only a suggestion, we offer tailor-made personal service and solutions to help you plan your perfect vacation.
Day 1 Anchorage to Talkeetna (181 km / 113 mi)
Drive the Glenn Highway north to Wasilla and on to Talkeetna. Stops can include a visit to the Alaska Native Heritage Centre in Anchorage and the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry in Wasilla. Talkeetna serves as a base camp for Mt. Denali climbers; the community of 857 residents is located at the confluence of the Talkeetna and Susitna Rivers. A turn-of-the-20th-century gold-mining centre, the town has retained much of its early Alaskan flavour. Log cabins, a roadhouse and clapboard storefronts line the dirt streets, colourful locals and bush pilots stroll the wooden sidewalks.
Day 2 Talkeetna to Denali National Park Entrance (257 km / 153 mi)
Today, explore Denali's south side or depart early for the drive to Denali National Park. You'll have as much time as you like to experience the majesty of Denali National Park, take in the sights of the George Parks Highway or arrive at your hotel near the park entrance to take advantage of an optional excursion or a visit to the Denali Visitor Centre.
Day 3 Denali National Park Backcountry Adventure (Coach / Bush Plane Flight)
This full-day narrated coach trip explores the entire 148km / 92mi of the restricted Denali Park Road on your way to the Denali Backcountry Lodge. During your journey to Denali Backcountry Lodge, your experienced driver-guide will help in the search for bear, moose, caribou, Dall sheep and other wildlife while pointing out the biology and geology of the area. There are numerous stops for wildlife viewing, photography and to stretch your legs and enjoy complimentary snacks. Lunch is included on this full day journey at the Denali Backcountry Lodge and while at the Lodge you can take a nature walk or try panning for gold. You will return to the park entrance via a flightseeing tour in a small bush plane. If weather permits, you will fly close to Mount Denali. (Lunch is included today)
Day 4 Denali National Park Entrance to Fairbanks (198 km / 123 mi)
Today is a short drive via Nenana to Fairbanks. Fairbanks, known as the Golden Heart City of Alaska, is the gateway to the interior and features almost 24 hours of daylight during the summer months. This afternoon you may want to visit the renowned Alaska University Museum featuring Alaska's best natural history collection.
Day 5 Fairbanks - Free Day
In Fairbanks you have the unique chance for an optional day tour to cross the Arctic Circle and to visit the vast interior.

'Satyamev Jayate' has taken me closer to reality: Aamir
Superstar Aamir Khan says that his hugely popular television series 'Satyamev Jayate' has taken him closer to the reality of life in India
'The show has brought me in touch with reality and taught me so much in the last two years that it can never be measured in money,' he said on the 'Aap ki Adalat' show. 'As creative persons we entertain people, but we also feel we have to contribute to our society by bringing about improvement in the social fabric and inculcate better values,' he said.
'Two things are required to change India: one, all of us should change our attitude towards females, and two, we should not be self-centric and think about working in the larger interest.' The actor admits he is an emotional person and often cried while working on the 'Satyamev Jayate' show.
'I wept several times while shooting for 'Satyamev Jayate' and the shooting had to be halted. It was terrible when common people narrated their woes. 'Even when I go abroad, I feel homesick and start weeping,' he said. The actor added that police had provided security to Mahvish, widow of Abdul Hakim, a resident of Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh who was apparently killed by his wife's family.
The couple had appeared in an episode of 'Satymev Jayate' and spoken against honour killings. Aamir said all five accused in the killing have been arrested and Mahvish, who is pregnant, was now getting police protection. A doctor and a nurse have been assigned to take care of the widow, and if required she may be given treatment in a Delhi hospital, he added.

On June 25th in New York City, a "Night of The Witch" will take place, featuring talks from Christina Oakley Harrington of Treadwell's Books in London, and Pam Grossman, an expert on the occult in Western art who co-hosted of the 2013 Occult Humanities Conference at NYU. Grossman's talk will be on the figure of the witch in modern art, while Harrington will focus on British Witchcraft from the 1950s through the 1970s. Quote: "British Witchraft revived in the 1950s and 1960s. To the horror and fascination of the English press and public, some of these witches gave interviews and even allowed secret rites to be photographed. They wanted the world to know a non-Christian basis of ethics, a radical concept of the sacred, and the power of altered states of consciousness. Both tradition-based and forward-thinking, they were paradoxical. Tonight's speaker comes from the UK Wiccan community, and brings these characters to life and shares insights into their vision of the Craft." Tickets for the event at the Meta Center can be bought here.
Pagan chaplain and activist Patrick McCollum is heading to the United Nations, and will participate in a special session on nuclear disarmament. Here's an excerpt from a statement put out by McCollum through the Patrick McCollum Foundation. Quote: "Today I am preparing for my trip to the United Nations on April 29th to participate in a special session on Nuclear Disarmament. I already know several of the key players who will attend and I am looking forward to meeting and creating relationships with several others. H.E. Archbishop Francis A. Chullikatt the Permanent Observer for the Holy See (the Pope) will be present and I look forward to meeting him and creating a stronger connection with the Vatican. I have already made connections with several Cardinals and a number if Bishops and am continuing to have conversations toward partnering to address world peace issues." In a statement sent to press, McCollum added that he is "honored to be in such revered company tackling such an important issue at such a high level," and that he believes "it is only through partnering with others and including the voices of all concerned, no matter what their race, religion, or culture may be, that we can achieve world peace and create a planet that revers the sacredness of every sentient and non-sentient being!"
At Patheos.com, T. Thorn Coyle has announced a new public study-group focusing on the book "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness" by Michelle Alexander. Quote: "I want to use this space for a monthly meeting. A study group. Each month, I want to discuss a chapter of The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. I want us to invoke the Power To Know. There is a call to start a movement to help overturn the devastation of the War on Drugs and mass incarceration through the Prison Industrial Complex. But before we start a movement, we have to know what we are up against. The prison industrial complex and the war on drugs have infiltrated every community in the U.S. They have changed our thinking, and how we build culture. Our assumptions are as unchallenged as the water we drink or the air we breathe. We barely notice they've become toxic. I am a Pagan and a Magic Worker. In my experience, everything in life and magic, every act of honoring the Gods or Goddesses, every encounter with our planet's moon, or an apple tree has this in common: we are called into relationship. Our religious and spiritual practices ask us to deepen these relationships. To re-connect. To re-member." For those wanting to buy the book from a local, Pagan-owned, source, Fields Books has agreed to stock the title for this initiative. Discussion posts will go up the fourth Wednesday of each month at Patheos.com.
In Other Pagan Community News:
- The Shehat Alliance, a group made up of Ivo Dominguez Jr. and Michael Smith of the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel, Katrina Messenger of Reflections Mystery School, Aeptha of Lighthaven, and T. Thorn Coyle of Solar Cross Temple, have put together a public pledge regarding community safety and integrity. Ivo Dominquez Jr. adds: "You are a part of the solution to building a better community. If you feel so moved, take this pledge and share it." I have embedded the pledge image below.
- On a related note, a group of Pagans have founded the Council of The Phoenix (Facebook page), which seeks to address abuse within the Pagan community. Quote: "Every 15 seconds abuse takes place in America, and it is happening in the Pagan community at large. Abuse, whether physical, psychological and emotional as well as sexual abuse is the most under reported phenomenon in our society. It is high time for it to end at our gatherings and festivals. There is too much silence and turning a blind eye about this! We must strive to be violence free and never commit, condone, or stay silent about any act of violence."
- Holly Allender Kraig, the widow of author and teacher Donald Michael Kraig, who passed away in March, has posted an update to note that the campaign to help offset funeral and medical costs raised over $15,000 dollars. Quote: "Because of you being you, we were able to raise over $15,522.00!!! I am humbled, honored and blessed by all your love and support." Kraig noted that a memorial service is still being planned, and will feature a ceremony written by Donald Michael Kraig during the struggle against cancer that claimed his life.
- The second book in Raymond Buckland's Bram Stoker Mysteries series will be published on October 7th of this year. You can pre-order "Dead for a Spell" at Amazon.com now. The first book, "Cursed in the Act," is out now. While Buckland is no doubt an accomplished novelist, he's best known within modern Pagan communities as one of the people responsible for bringing Gardnerian Wicca to the United States, and publishing several instructional books relating to religious Witchcraft.
- Cherry Hill Seminary's 2014 Hypatia Day Drive is winding up, they've raised nearly $12,000 dollars toward their goal of $17,000 dollars. Quote: "It's been a busy spring, and a great many of you have helped us raise an amazing $11,842! That's a just over $5,000 away from our goal. Remember that those who join during this 2014 Hypatia Day Drive will receive a lovely Hypatia altar/desk card. But best of all, you will be investing in the finest education for Pagans available. Click here to join or renew your membership to The Hypatia Society."
- Aidan Kelly, who blogs at the Patheos.com Pagan portal, has published a new book entitled "A Tapestry of Witches: A History of the Craft in America, Volume I." Quote: "I have released the first volume of the history for which I began gathering data about 30 years ago. It covers from 1893 up to the mid-1970s. There were Witches before Gardnerian Witchcraft was introduced to America by Raymond Buckland, and there still are. The relationship between these two varieties is still a matter for active discussion. The book contains several hundred footnotes, mostly documenting the Wiccan and Pagan periodicals from which I gleaned the data about the existence of covens, nests, groves, etc. Hence I am not releasing it as an e-book, because the footnotes would be mangled in that format."
That's all I have for now, have a great day!

• Navy Blue Snakeskin Suede and Green Glitter
• Inner and Outer Sole : Leather
• Made in Spain
The Wolfgang women's ankle boot is the stellar boot of the season. These ankle booties are sincere and radiant homage by Patricia Blanchet to Apollo, son of Zeus. The Wolfgang bootie will astonish you and bring you happiness once on your feet. The Wolfgang low-cut boot is a truly wonderful shoe, and an instant classic that you will be talking about for years. The Wolfgang ankle bootie, with its glittered sun, is an homage to Versailles, Salzburg and Phoenix all at once; a sparkling and globe-trotting low-cut boot that will make your feet smile and your soul sing. Wolfgang is crafted from the most beautiful green, red or silver printed suede and also from the sexiest black or blue metallic suede. Aside from being a little visual miracle, the Wolfgang is a terrifically comfortable ankle bootie, set on a 7cm heel. It will accompany you through all the most delicious moments of your life. Wolfgang by Patricia Blanchet has an invisible stretch side elastic panel to slip on and off easily.
It is important to use a waterproof spray on the printed suede part of your shoes before the first use and then as often as possible to keep your shoes as new.
Be particularly careful to use the waterproof spray for the suede part only, as the glitter part doesn't need any particular treatment other than your attention and constant affection.
Don't hesitate to bring them to a shoe cobbler as many times as necessary.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and water.
You must take out the protection film on the soles before wearing the shoes and only when you are sure you are not going to request a reimbursement.
A family business including you

Complete these steps in order to create a new DHCP scope.
Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > DHCP in order to go to the DHCP Manager.
Right-click the DHCP Server and click New Scope.
Follow the instructions in the New Scope Wizard.
Add a Name and a Description for your new scope and click Next in order to continue.
Add the IP Address Range which you want the DHCP Server to hand out IP Addresses in. Make sure to set the subnet mask correctly for what your network settings are.
Click Next to continue.
Note: You may want to exclude IP Addresses within this range that have been previously assigned to other devices, so that the same addresses are not used twice.
Set the Lease Duration to a value that makes sense for your network. This is how often the IP address of a device expires and it needs to be renewed by the device.
Click Next to continue.
You need to configure additional options for the devices to pick up when they get their IP Addresses from the DHCP Server. Select Yes, I want to configure these options now option.
Click Next to continue.
All devices need a Default Gateway configured. This is the router interface nearest to the devices, which has an interface on the same IP subnet as the devices. This is where the devices send IP packets if the receiving device is not on the same IP subnet as the sending device. Type the IP address of the Default Gateway and click Add.
Note: If you intend to use the Domain Name System (DNS) in your network, you can configure the device to receive an IP address for the domain name and DNS servers.
Skip the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server configuration because Cisco CallManager devices do not use WINS (just click Next). Then Click No, I will activate this scope later.
Click Finish.
The new DHCP Scope is now created. However, it is not Active and does not hand out IP addresses yet.
Cisco IP Phones expect the DHCP server to also provide the IP address of the TFTP server. By default, the TFTP option is not available in a newly defined DHCP scope. Complete these steps in order to add the TFTP option to the scope.
Right-click the server and select Set Predefined Options, then click Add.
Enter the Name as TFTP Server IP Address, Data Type is IP Address, Code is 150, and Description is TFTP Server IP Address for CallManager Devices.
Click OK and then Edit Array. Enter the IP address(es) for TFTP server(s) that are normally housed on the Cisco CallManager systems.
Click OK twice in order to complete the creation of Option 150. Under the new Cisco CallManager DHCP Scope you created is a field labeled "Scope Options". If you right-click Scope Options and select Configure Options, you can select Option 150 as an option to hand out to Devices.
Click Apply and OK in order to see that the scope now has Option 150.
Right-click the Scope and select Activate in order to activate the Scope.

PKRA Slalom Shines in Haikou
Starting out with a glassy, windless morning, the conditions soon began to improve on this second day of the Hainan Island PKRA tour stop, as the afternoon neared. While still light, the conditions turned out to be suitable for the first racing competitions of the event in 12-15 knots of wind. Sending up their 12-18 meter kites, riders welcomed the idea of a new racing format – slalom, and as such, some of the best freestyle riders took part, as they could ride without gear restrictions as normally seen in course racing.
As the competitors entered the water, it was clear that this would be a very interesting set of races. Riders like Bruna Kajiya (BRA) and Kevin Langeree (NED) happily lined up at the start, and prepared to take part in serious battles to the finish. From the beginning, it became clear that those who had the best start gained the biggest advantage. Competitors started on a port tack between a buoy and a boat - going out about 300 meters - and then around another buoy to complete another 300 meters. They then continued onto the finish line alongside the beach, and in front of the many spectators, coming in incredibly fast as they bared off the wind. In total, the course's length measured approximately 1 kilometer.
In recounting the exciting moments of the race, Bruna Kajiya commented, " Slalom is actually more fun than (course) racing! I really enjoy it and it is really exciting to watch, especially if you are racing with your friends and it is really tight and close. I think it was pretty cool!"
Gisela Pulido also chimed in, saying, "It was so much fun! It was really nice because we were really close together at the buoys and passing each other. It is so much different than freestyle. In freestyle you are always worried about crashing tricks and choosing the right kite size. In Slalom you just go for it and try to get a good start, go really fast and not crash and keep your speed at the buoys and the fist one to cross the finish line is the winner."
After many close heats, it became apparent who shined on the race course, Kevin Langeree excelled at the starts and Victor Hays (FRA) made an impressive mark when he passed Christophe Tack (BEL) in the last seconds of one race, which qualified Hays for the final. Pulido also did well for the women, beating out her normally close competitors, Karolina Winkowska (POL) and Bruna Kajiya. And while the local Chinese riders didn't quite make it into the finals, it was apparent that they have much experience riding in such conditions, and did very well against the top PKRA elite.
After such an incredible day, all the riders are very much looking forward to the continuation the event and the beginning of freestyle heats. Everyone came away from today's experience with a new level of excitement, with smiles and laughter the most noticeable feature across every competitor's face.

Played on Friday and threw them a little bit of a twist.
Usually, to get everyone's head in the game, I take them down the road a bit then have them encounter something.
This time BOOM!
I got them before they even got out of the inn.
Nearly had them down and out before they pulled themselves out of the fire.
Then we struck out on the road.
We found the hidden dome, but the night was growning late
So we put the game on hold until the 17th of next month.
It was fun and they said they had fun, too.
Happy 20's! :D

Browns coach Pat Shurmur has apparently survived the bye week. It's only his third win of the year. The bye week, or as it's known in some of the bleaker NFL outposts, The "Are you guys SURE you don't want to change coaches?" week, is a built-in week off, allowing NFL teams to take inventory. Assuming they have some. It's called the bye week because some teams use it to point their coach towards the door while saying, "Bye!" Others teams trudge bravely on, anxiously awaiting that next fourth-and-one call from the sidelines in which, depending on the time zone in which they are playing, and what their decision was in the same situation the week before, they will either go for it or punt, or call timeout first and then either go for it or punt. Because sometimes you've just got to take the bull by the tail and face the situation. The Browns, under new owner Jimmy Haslam, chose the latter. It's the right call. Nothing worthwhile could be achieved through a mid-season Shurmurectomy. Not unless Bill Cowher or Jon Gruden would be willing to take over the job immediately. (Arch eyebrow here). There will be plenty of time in the off-season to woo Cowher -- or is it "to cow Wooher"? -- and Gruden. Both have day jobs now, and this Browns gig would be the coaching equivalent of trying to land a man on the moon. Part-timers need not apply. But in the off-season, the stable of available coaching candidates will be more plentiful, plus, by waiting until after the season it will give Haslam and Browns CEO Joe Banner time to polish their sales pitch. My five top coach search pickup lines would be: "Anybody ever tell you that from the side you look a lot like Lombardi?" "Lemme hear you bark." "Hey Rockne, we're only three and a half horsemen shy of four -- interested?" "No, he doesn't own the team anymore. Honest." "What's a nice play caller like you doing in an offense like this?" Shurmur, meanwhile, needed a week off. The answers to the questions in his press conferences are growing more uncomfortable by the week. He's coaching for his job and he knows it. That's a tough environment in which to work, especially when you are coaching a roster best known for having the least known players in the division -- and you're only in your second year on the job yourself. Seven more games remain on the Browns' schedule after the bye week. If that sounds like a lot to you, imagine how it sounds to Shurmur. But for now, it's Sunday. Bye week. The Browns will not lose today. Enjoy. When healthy the Los Angeles Lakers have four future Hall of Famers in their starting lineup: Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, and Pau Gasol. The Lakers also have the highest payroll in the NBA at $100 million. As of Thursday the Lakers' record was 1-4. As of Friday they had a new coach. Former Cavs coach Mike Brown became the former Lakers coach when he was fired on Friday. Brown coached one year and five games into his four-year, $18 million contract. He coached Nash for 1 ½ games before Nash got hurt. Howard is coming back from back surgery. Brown did coach Bryant, and in his last game as coach, a loss Wednesday to Utah, Brown was on the wrong end of what reporters in L.A. refer to as "The Kobe Death Stare". Two days later Brown was gone. Hmmm. It seemed like an ill-suited match right from the start. The Lakers are showtime, Hollywood glitz. Nothing is less "showtime" than the Princeton offense Brown had the Lakers running. It's an offense that slows the game down, emphasizing back door cuts, off-the-ball movement, and sharing the ball. So you've got the NBA's all-time most notorious gunner in Bryant, and you're asking him to run a slow-down, share-the-ball offense? It's a little like when Brown coached the Cavs, where he had one of the best rebounding teams in the league, plus the best finisher maybe ever in LeBron James, but the Cavs refused to run a fast-break oriented offense. Is it ludicrous to fire a coach five games into the season? Of course. But the Lakers, who on the day of the Brown firing were 1-12 counting pre-season games, are used to winning. A lot. They don't handle losing very well. Firing Brown, however, says more about the dysfunction among the Laker decision makers than it does about Brown as a coach. Still, facts are facts. Brown has been a head coach in the NBA for six full seasons, and in every one of them he had on his team either LeBron James or Kobe Bryant -- but was unable to win a single NBA championship. That's what you call a resume killer. Talk about hedging your bets. For their new manager the Colorado Rockies hired a Denver-area high school coach and gave him a one-year contract. I can't remember the last manager who was hired on a one-year contract. Heck, even the Red Sox gave combustible Bobby Valentine a two-year deal. The Rockies' new manager is former Rockies player Walt Weiss, who comes highly recommended by two of his former managers, both of whom are headed to the Hall of Fame -- Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox. If having La Russa and Cox in his corner could land Weiss only a one-year contract, what would the Rockies have offered him without those endorsements? Punching a time clock in the dugout before and after each game? The PAC-10 has fined USC $25,000 after a student manager deflated game footballs prior to the Trojans' loss to Oregon last week. Deflated footballs, which were only used by USC during the game, are easier to throw and catch. USC reported the infraction to the conference, and immediately fired the student-athlete. Speculation immediately started that USC coach Lane Kiffin, who earlier this season changed the uniform numbers on players on the USC special teams to confuse opponents, was behind the deflated balls incident. But Kiffin said he's innocent. Seems like he says that a lot. Weak of the week C.J. Miles, who came to the Cavs with a reputation as a shooter, has a field goal percentage of 23 percent (11-for-47). Instead of a shooter it probably would have been better if the Cavs had signed a maker. Weak. Very weak.
Pat Shurmur's job is safe, for now (Speaking of Sports)

Now I need a MG42..
did you ever end up making repair plate for the vz-58? thanks.
Yup made several sets, the machining was extensive and thus expensive. I welded one up and after tweeking it ran. I just recently replaced it with a spare commercial receiver I had extra. It looked fine, ran fine but was significantly harder to make and build then a factory receiver.( plus i bought a box full of them in a buy out of a shop near here for next to nothing)

Today was the last day of Zak's 8-week YMCA class. The class was called mixed sports. The sports they played included soccer, basketball, and t-ball. Today they did a bunch of fun games that are part of the class called Gym Games. Zak loved all of the activities they did today so I ended up signing him up for the next 8-week session for that class. He will go Thursday mornings from 10-11am for the Gym Games class starting next week.
The first thing they did was a relay race with an obstacle course. They had to sit on a scooter and go through cones, then hop through some hula hoops, put a bean bag in the box, spin around 3 times, and race through a tunnel.
At the end of the class all of the kids received a certificate along with a shirt.
The kids loved all of the activities which involved using the parachute! Here they lifted it above their heads and got under it...
Here Zak and one of the other boys sat in the middle. Then the rest of the kids/coaches wrapped them up in the parachute. Once done they pulled hard and it spun the two in the middle, pretty cool.
They played What Time Is It Mr.Fox...
This game they had to collect as many balls as possible. They also played it where the coach would call out a color and the kids had to only get that color ball.
They also played some bean bag toss games as well as other games with the bean bags which required the kids to know colors. I think this class will be great for Zak because they are short, educational, and active games!

"Oh, that call wasn't for me, it was for you. Somebody has registered a complaint." – Horace Hardwicke (Edward Everett Horton)
"I know! I've just seen the complaint and she's lovely, she's delightful, she's charming, and she wants to sleep." – Jerry Travers (Fred Astaire)
"May I rescue you?" – Jerry
"No thank you. I prefer to be in distress." – Dale Tremont (Ginger Rogers)
"You want this show to last two nights? Get me a plane, now!" – Jerry
"What kind of plane?" – Horace
"One with wings!" – Jerry
Top Hat is a romantic comedy filled with mistaken identities, misunderstandings, and music! Like any farce, it's the type of plot that would be resolved in five minutes if anyone in the cast actually talked to each other for five minutes, rather than making assumptions. But that's not really a negative – because it's light, frothy romance with no harsh realities at all. The sets are marvelously art deco and beautiful – especially the Venice hotel with its waterways and boats.
The story begins in London, with Jerry Travers waiting in a very quiet English gentleman's club for his friend Horace. The club is one where Silence Must Be Observed at all times, and everyone stares at Jerry when he drops something or turns the page of his newspaper. Horace finds Jerry, starts to talk to him, then realizes where he is, and urges Jerry to leave so they can talk. Just as he's leaving, Jerry does a quick tap dance on the floor simply to annoy everyone – and as a joke.
Horace takes Jerry to his hotel, Jerry – excited about seeing Horace, and their new show; begins tapping in his hotel room ("No Strings (I'm Fancy Free)") – waking up the young woman in the hotel suite below. She calls to complain to the manager. Horace takes the call, gets confused, and goes down to the hotel desk to tell the manager he doesn't want a young woman in his hotel room because it wouldn't be proper. Meanwhile, Dale goes to the hotel suite and complains. Dale doesn't introduce herself – and Jerry's so taken with her, he doesn't introduce himself either. This proves to actually be a very important part of the plot.
The next day, Jerry goes to the hotel flower shop and orders that all the flowers be sent to Ms. Tremont's room (by room number) – then charges the very expensive bill to Horace by his room number.
Horace, afraid that Dale might be a "designing woman" sets his valet, Bates, to follow her. This is another part of the plot that's considerably more important than it seems. Horace also warns Jerry off, telling him about a woman he met called Violet who took advantage of him.
Meanwhile, we learn Dale is a social model. A dress designer named Alberto Beddini pays her to wear his dresses, so her friends will see them, ask about them, and he will get more contracts to design dresses and sell more of his designs. But, since he's financially supporting her – this is something not good for Horace to find out as he'd get the wrong idea. Dale is also close friends with his wife, Madge.
Jerry tries to meet Dale again, she rebuffs him – mentioning she's going for a ride in the park. Jerry gives her a ride to her lesson in the park and again tries to get her interested in him without luck. During her ride, Dale gets caught in the rain. She shelters in a gazebo. Jerry arrives and tries to calm her down by telling her a story about clouds. He then sings "Isn't it a Lovely Day? (To get Caught in the Rain)" to her, and the two dance in partner tap. Ginger is wearing jodhpur-pants. Fred and Ginger also mirror each other beautifully when dancing. At the end of their dance, the two sit down on the edge of the raised gazebo platform – and shake hands. It's a gesture between partners.
Later at the hotel, Ginger asks the concierge to point out Horace. The concierge points to "the man with the briefcase and cane" on the walkway. But Horace runs into Jerry and hands him his briefcase and cane – thus making Dale think he's her friend Madge's husband. This type of thing continuously happens – Dale keeps thinking that Jerry is Horace, and thus her friend's husband and a terrible cad to boot.
Jerry is in the middle of his show, changing between acts when Horace reads his wife's telegram and finds out she and Dale are heading off to Venice. Jerry insists they hire a charter plane and go to Venice as well.
The production number, part of Jerry's show, is "Top Hat, White Tie, and Tails" which has Astaire dancing with a chorus of men in formal wear. During the dance, he "shoots" the men with his cane. His short tap dancing routine gets a standing ovation from the audience.
In Venice, Dale meets up with Madge, and they meet the seaplane – but Dale isn't there when Madge says hello to Jerry – whom Madge actually wants to set-up with Jerry. The hotel is full – so Horace and Jerry end up sharing the bridal suite, while Madge and Dale share their own suite.
Bellani, thinking that Horace has designs on Dale confronts him, but Horace has no idea what's going on.
Dale talks to Madge about her husband's flirting. Madge says she knows he flirts, but it doesn't mean anything. Dale decides to "teach him a lesson" and goes to his room to throw herself at him – and again runs into Jerry. Jerry turns the tables and flirts back.
Later, at dinner, Madge, Jerry, and Dale meet – but no introductions are made, as Dale insists she knows who Jerry is (she still thinks he's Madge's husband Horace). Fred and Ginger dance to "Cheek to Cheek", with Ginger in the beautiful, floaty, feather dress. It's ballroom dance that begins with the two in the midst of a crowded dance floor and moves to the two dancing on a patio that resembles an even bigger version of the gazebo from earlier. There is also some side by side and partner tap, with the two mirroring each other beautifully. But when Jerry proposes – Dale thinks he's Madge's husband and slaps him.
Alberto Belleni flirts with Dale and proposes to her. She accepts him but insists they must be married immediately.
Jerry, in a last-ditch effort to get Dale to listen to him, has Horace distract Beddini and goes to talk to Dale. He takes her on a boat ride on the water – and finally explains who he is.
Meanwhile, Bates reports to Horace that Dale and Jerry are drifting out to sea. Horace, Madge, and Belleni go off in a boat to "rescue" Dale and Jerry.
Dale and Jerry return, happy at last but concerned about her quick marriage and how to dissolve it. Dale rushes off. Bates tells Jerry that Madge, Horace, and Beddini went off in a boat from which he'd "removed the gasoline" while disguised as a gondolier. The local police arrest Bates for his impersonation.
There is a production number instrumental of "The Piccolino", which starts with Bugby Berkeley-styled dancers. Then the camera changes to a much happier Dale singing "The Piccolino" to Jerry. Then the perspective switches back to the elaborate production number.
Fred and Ginger dance – tap and ballroom, mirroring each other in tap. Their dance is full frame and uncut. Ginger's dress is sparkly with a trumpet skirt. They dance back to their table, saluting each other with champagne glasses.
Horace, Madge, and Belddini return. That Horace is Madge's husband is confirmed, as is the blossoming romance between Dale and Jerry. Just as everyone is wondering what they will do, Bates arrives and states he had been following Dale everywhere, and he had earlier disguised himself as a clergyman by turning his collar around. Beddini states, "But you were the one who married us!" Dale responds, "Then we were never really married!" And she rushes off in Jerry's arms!
List of Musical Numbers
- No Strings (I'm Fancy Free)
- Isn't This a Lovely Day (To be Caught in the Rain)?
- Top Hat, White Tie and Tails
- Cheek to Cheek
- The Piccolino
Top Hat is a simple, romantic comedy – fueled by mistaken identities, coincidences, and misunderstandings, where, of course, in the end – everything works out. But it features some of Irving Berlin's best songs and Fred Astaire and Ginger Roger's best dances. The sets, especially the boats in the waterway, are wonderful – and the Art Deco just shines. The dances are filmed full-frame and often without cuts. Certainly, there are no cuts to faces and feet – which means one can follow the dance and focus on Fred and Ginger's artistry. There are two ensemble production numbers – Fred's tap dance with a male chorus, which is part of the show he's been hired for as a professional dancer; and "The Piccolino". "The Piccolino" is a wonderful production number – but it seems out of place in Top Hat. It starts as an elaborate production number, switches to show Ginger singing, switches back to a production number, then switches a fourth time to Fred and Ginger dancing. The production part is full of fast cuts, and elaborate patterns, using ribbons. In short, it looks like a Bugsy Berkeley musical. But when "The Piccolino" focuses on Fred and Ginger dancing together, it becomes one of their signature-style dances – shown full frame, in a single shot without cuts, with Fred and Ginger both tap dancing (briefly) and ballroom dancing. So overall, though very elaborate, it works. Top Hat is one of my favorite Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers films, along with Swing Time and Shall We Dance. For many, it is the quintessential film for the pair.
Recommendation: See it!

Will Giuliani or Lazio Get a Matching 45 Minutes of Air Time to Sell Their Empathy With the Children?
ABC Meows Instead of Roars at Clintons
ABC signaled the kind of week it would display on Good Morning America last
week by replacing ill co-host Charles Gibson on Tuesday with George
Stephanopoulos. (One
can only imagine the liberal spit takes if ABC's conservative pundits George Will or
William Kristol filled in as the "objective" co-host.)
But the highlight
of the week was the Friday morning show, which featured 45 minutes of air time for Bill
and Hillary Clinton's live town meeting with teens on the topic of school shootings --
without commercial interruption. If Hillary Clinton runs for Senate, would ABC be willing
to allow Mayor Rudy Giuliani or Rep. Rick Lazio a matching 45 minutes to demonstrate their
empathy with the children?
On Thursday morning, Gibson promoted it: "We'll be interviewing the President, and
then Mrs. Clinton is going to join us, along with the real experts on teen violence. We're
going to bring in a number of students across the country and we're going to talk with
them and with the President and Mrs. Clinton about what's on everyone's mind since the
school shootings in Littleton, Conyers, Jonesboro, and unfortunately, so many other
cities." Diane Sawyer added: "I assume that the teens are going to be a kind of
reality check, asking some tough questions of the President and the First Lady about
violent video games, movies, parents, the challenges of growing up today."
Notice Sawyer left out that teens would ask tough questions on gun control. While one
teen defended video games, none opposed gun control. Many of the teens were students at
the schools where shootings had occurred, and the group was very supportive of crackdowns,
including metal detectors. One student advocated raising the price of all guns to a level
where kids can't afford them. The only balance on guns came when Sawyer asked one question
about lax enforcement of current gun laws.
the interview with the President, Gibson hit Clinton from the left (see box). He preached:
"But let me come back to you on that, the polls, I agree on that, the polls have
shown that this country would accept registration of firearms and yet we don't do that and
we're not fighting about regulation of guns. We regulate every other consumer product out
When Clinton responded with long, feisty answers, protesting that some Democrats
supporting the Brady Bill "which the polls showed the voters support," got beat
anyway, Gibson fussed: "But hasn't the NRA won the debate at that point? Once we say
it's politically impossible, we can't do it, we won't propose it, hasn't the NRA basically
framed the debate at that point?"
Gibson promoted mandatory safety devices on Thursday morning: "I think it's fair
to say that every consumer product on the market, we expect it to undergo vigorous safety
tests for our protection and the protection of our children. This is after all, the age of
the childproof safety device on almost every product. So in the wake of repeated incidents
of youth gun violence, a lot of people are asking shouldn't the same apply to guns?"
Michael Guillen filed a report on kids killed in gun accidents and how their parents are
now campaigning for mandatory safety devices.
ABCNews.com is currently matching Good Morning America's gun focus, with a
notable difference. Opponents of gun control, including experts like academic John Lott,
were awarded an opportunity to respond. -- Tim Graham
