A week after the Newtown, Connecticut school shootings, the White House posted a video Friday morning of President Obama talking about the need for action on ways to reduce gun violence, as he thanked those who had used a special on-line petition to urge action on guns.
"We hear you," the President said in his video message, as he noted "hundreds of thousands" of people had signed a petition asking for "serious steps" to respond to calls for change.
"The fact is, most gun owners in America are responsible," said the President, who noted that some gun owners had joined the calls for different measures, as Mr. Obama ticked off a familiar refrain of proposals, like renewing an assault weapons ban, addressing the so-called gun show loophole and limits on ammunition magazines.
"As I said earlier this week, I can't do it alone," the President said.
Here is the video from the White House.

A lot of conjecture and mystery surrounds the history of Valentine's Day--and the story of its patron saint. February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and St. Valentine's Day contains shades of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.
At least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus are recognized by the Catholic Church, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served in Rome during the third century. Emperor Claudius II supposedly outlawed marriage for young men during his rule, feeling that single men made better soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons. According to one legend, the imprisoned Valentine sent the first "valentine" greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl--possibly his jailor Asterius' daughter--who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed "From your Valentine," an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is speculative at best, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and--most importantly--romantic figure.
From A Pagan Festival in February to A Day for Romance
While some hold that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial--which probably occurred around A.D. 270--others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St. Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to "Christianize" the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Celebrated at the ides of February, or February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.
Lupercalia survived the initial rise of Christianity but was eventually squashed by the church. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day. It was not until much later, however, that the day became irrevocably associated with love. Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages, though written Valentine's didn't begin to appear until after 1400. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London.
In addition to the United States, Valentine's Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France and Australia. In Great Britain, Valentine's Day began to be popularly celebrated around the 17th century. By the middle of the 18th, it was common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes and by 1900 printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology and cheaper postage.
In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland of Worcester, Massachusetts began selling the first mass-produced valentines in America. Howland, known as the "Mother of the Valentine," made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap." Today, next to Christmas, Valentine's Day is the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated 1 billion Valentine's Day cards are sent each year.

The anti-abortion group that recently revealed two videos from a secret investigation into abortion clinics released a third on Thursday.
The group, Live Action, previewed it first to CNN, providing what appears to be full footage and an edited version.
The new, secretly recorded video focuses on the Family Planning Associates Medical Group in Phoenix.
Two other videos, released earlier this week, focused on the Dr. Emily Women's Health Center in New York and the Washington-based Washington Surgi-Clinic.
With the new video, Live Action levels the same claim it did in the previous two: That abortion clinic workers admit or suggest they're willing to kill babies who are born alive after botched abortions.
"What we're alleging is there is a federal Born Alive Infants Protection Act. And there are numerous state laws that protect infants," Live Action founder and president Lila Rose told CNN in an exclusive interview. "So we're alleging that there is potentially illegal activity going on in these clinics."
Live Action has been accused of pushing a hardline anti-abortion agenda using dubious tactics, including secret recordings. They've also been accused of heavily editing videos to achieve a desired effect.
Rose dismissed the criticism.
"Our agenda is the truth here. The truth about the brutality of abortion. and the truth that we believe every person deserves human rights. And that women can do better than this. That's our agenda. I'm very clear about that."
The third release could prove potentially more controversial and helpful to the anti-abortion movement than the previous two productions.
Arizona is a far more conservative state on abortion than New York or Washington. Last year, Arizona attempted to pass what some called one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation. It is on hold pending a legal challenge.
Live Action's chief told CNN the group plans to release three more videos in coming weeks.
The liberal-leaning media watchdog MediaMatters said on its website this week that the videos are timed to coincidewith the trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell. He is accused of performing illegal late-term abortions in Philadelphia. Gosnell's lawyer says he's innocent. Jurors are currently deliberating.
In all of the Live Action videos, a pregnant woman meets with workers at an abortion clinic and pretends to want an abortion. In each case, the woman is actually working undercover for Live Action. And in each case, the pregnant woman secretly records her conversations with those workers -- who are unaware they are being recorded.
The video shot inside the Phoenix medical group features three workers.
The conversations on it do not prove any wrongdoing by any of FamilyPlanning's staff.
Dr. Paul Isaacson, part owner of the Phoenix facility, maintained that his clinic follows all applicable abortion laws.
"We have not had the opportunity to review the video or transcript of the video reportedly recorded in our office because it has not been provided to us," Isaacson said in a statement to CNN.
"However, the details of the video as described do not reflect the policies and procedures at Family Planning Associates Medical Group. Family Planning Associates Medical Group strictly adheres to all applicable state and federal laws regarding the delivery of abortion care," he added.
CNN has reached out to the various local, state and federal health and law enforcement agencies to determine if any will investigate Live Action's claims against the Phoenix medical group. CNN has not yet received a response.
Congress passed and President Bush signed the "Born Alive Infant Protection Act" in 2002.
The law states that any infant born alive, including any in an abortion attempt, must receive legal protections. Doctors must also work to save their lives. The law does not explicitly state that it is illegal to discuss hypotheticals of what might happen in such matters.
In the recording from inside the Phoenix facility, one woman identifies herself as Dr. Laura Mercer , a chief resident.
The doctor carefully walks the pregnant woman through the abortion process, to which the woman rolls through a series of questions.
At one point, the woman asks if she could go into labor, at home, over the two-day process.

Bryan Little had a pair of goals and Blake Wheeler and defenseman Grant Clitsome added goals for the Jets, who also got three assists from captain Andrew Ladd and 28 saves from Ondrej PavelecAfter a scoreless opening 20 minutes, the floodgates opened in a six-goal second period - with Little and Clitsome scoring 70 seconds apart to trump Grabovski's tally. Ovechkin answered with a pair of goals in a 2:12 span, beating Pavelec on a breakaway before scoring off a faceoff, but Wheeler chipped a shot past Holtby to deadlock it at 3-3 with 39 seconds left in the period.Washington's league-best power play finally converted when Backstrom weaved through Winnipeg's defense and slid a pass to Brouwer, who snapped a shot past Pavelec at 4:56. Once again the lead was short-lived as Little countered from the slot 2:08 later to deadlock it at 4-4. GAME NOTEBOOK: Ovechkin's two goals gave him 40 in 54 career games against the Winnipeg/Atlanta franchise. ... Little registered his first two-goal game since March 20, 2012, while Ladd, C Olli Jokinen and RW Devin Setoguchi scored in the bonus format for the Jets. ...

American Art Portrait of Catherine Lyde Made in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, North and Central America1729 John Smibert, American, 1688 - 1751 Oil on canvas * Gallery 103, American Art, first floor (Sherrerd Gallery) 1995-67-1 Gift of The Barra Foundation, 1995 |
LabelBorn in Edinburgh, John Smibert worked as a craftsman and copyist in London before traveling to Italy to develop his artistic skills. In 1729 he arrived in Boston to join the philosopher George Berkeley in establishing a university in Bermuda. When these plans dissolved, Smibert established a painting room, an artist's supply shop, and a gallery that displayed his copies after important European paintings. Even after his death, his studio remained and nurtured American artists from Robert Feke, John Singleton Copley, and Charles Willson Peale to John Trumbull and Washington Allston. The artist's second recorded composition made in Boston, this portrait of the widowed Catherine Page Brinley Lyde (1663–1755) is typical of his earliest American works.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |

This photo of Rick and Duffy Monahon was taken while they were traveling in Scotland in 2007. (COURTESY)
Two New Hampshire families are reeling after two sets of retirement-aged couples died Sunday night on a state highway in Hillsborough.
One couple were a husband-wife architectural team who played key roles in Peterborough and Harrisville.
The other were a retired corrections officer and retired school teacher who stayed together for 42 years, despite his affinity for the Boston Red Sox and hers for the New York Yankees.
"Our thoughts and prayers are not only with our parents but with the other couple as well," said Michael Robb, son of the mismatched baseball lovers, Concord residents Donald Robb, 68, and Brenda Mary Robb, 62.
In Peterborough, town officials and residents mourned the death of Rick Monahon, 69, and Mary "Duffy" Monahon, 71.
Townspeople praised their work to convert downtown Harrisville into a historic site, land conservation work and preservation of her third-generation family farm.
"Duffy and Rick were a creative force in shaping what we see and feel when we come to Peterborough," said Peterborough Selectman Joe Byk. "They were tireless visionaries who will leave a huge void."
Both were architects and worked at the downtown office of Richard M. Monahon Jr., AIA Architects.
The accident took place about 5 p.m. on Route 202/9 in Hillsborough, a dangerous, two-lane straightaway that has lent itself to horrific crashes in the past.
The Robbs were returning home after dropping off their 7-year-old granddaughter at her home in Chesterfield, said son Michael Robb.
He said it was a blessing that Ella was not in the car when the crash happened.
Police said Richard Monahon was driving his 2013 Subaru Forester west when it collided with the eastbound 2005 Toyota carrying the Robbs.
The Monahons and Donald Robb were pronounced dead at the scene. An ambulance rushed Brenda Robb to Concord Hospital, where a helicopter flew her to a Boston hospital, where she died of her injuries.
Police have not said which car crossed the line. They said alcohol did not appear to be a factor.
In Peterborough, officials said that Duffy Monahon advocated downtown revitalization in the 1990s, as opposed to rezoning of gateways for commercial development.
Depot Square, an abandoned mill, was redeveloped, and now Peterborough is a prime example of preservation and smart growth.
"She was just so full of energy and so full of life," said Francie Von Mertens, the Peterborough Conservation Commission chairman.
Rick Monahon was the current planning board chairman.
"Everybody is reacting with tremendous grief and horror," said Selectman Liz Thomas. "Nobody is going to fill that space that they left here. It's shocking, really shocking."
On Monday, town residents said they would visit the Monahon's 35-acre farm to make sure their sheep were fed.
The Robbs resided in Concord for more than 30 years. He retired 12 years ago, after working 26 years with the state Department of Corrections.
She was a retired Concord reading specialist/language arts teacher at Rundlett Junior High School. She retired in 1996 at age 45.
Huge baseball fans, the Robbs bought a second home in Florida so they could attend spring training. For a short time, they were snowbirds but, Robb said, they discovered they missed their children so they decided to limit their stay each year in the Sunshine State to only the month of March.
Donald played softball in city leagues, while his wife volunteered at homeless shelters and answered the rape and domestic violence hotlines.
"They just had a zest for life," Michael Robb said. "They had a happy life."
The Robbs have a daugher, Erin Scaggs, of Chesterfield and two granddaughters, Ella, 7, and Pearl, 1.
The Monahons have a daughter, Sophie, who is in architectural graduate school at the University of Texas. Duffy had three children from another marriage: Ian Spencer of Los Angeles, Duncan Spencer of Philadelphia and Dooney Leeson of Taos, N.M.
The crash remains under investigation. Hillsborough police, with the assistance of New Hampshire State Police Technical Accident Reconstruction team, continue to investigate the crash.
Anyone with more information or who witnessed the collision is asked to call Sgt. Nicholas Hodgen or Officer Christopher Parson at 464-5512.

How BP's Tony Hayward Got Shortchanged
Filed under: Wealth, Crimes and Misdemeanors
That may seem like a lot of money for someone who oversaw the worst ecological disaster in recent history and watched his company's fortunes plummet – but in fact Hayward's "golden parachute" is pretty damned paltry compared to other recently ousted CEO's payouts, the Economist points out.
For instance, Hayward's kiss-off is a whopping $191.5 million less than the $210 million received by Home Depot CEO Robert Nardelli in 2007, who departed the company after its share price plunged. After the jump you'll find the newspaper's selected ranking of CEO payouts, showing Hayward languishing in last place. So don't be too hard on the guy - compared to his other former CEO pals he's practically penniless and they're probably all making fun of him at the club:

Tuesday, Feb. 18, 1969 THE SHREVEPORT TIMES McKeithen Leaves 'em Laughing, Gasping By CHARLOTTE BURROWS Of Tbe Times Staff Louisiana's governor spent the kind of day in Shreveport yesterday that left local legisla-tors laughing and members of the press gasping. There were a few revelations about state matters, but listeners often had to run to hear them. And there were so many other local officials close on the governor's heels that this writer occasionally found herself stubb-ing toes on legislators' shoes. Here to talk to the Texas Daily Newspaper Association, G o v. McKeithen followed that engage-ment with a press conference where the questions ranged rapidly from the Louisiana Loan and Thrift indictments to the recent administrative pay raises for LSU. Concerning the LL&T indict-ments, which involve Joe Kavan-augh, his adviser, State Atty. Gen. Jack P. F. Gremillion, and a late friend, Clayton James, McKeithen said, "Sad, sad, sad . it behooves me as governor not to say anything . . . not to say anything to defend them." However, he said emphatically that Clayton James was inno-cent. He said the other men are living; that they can speak for themselves. But he said James is dead and that he was "used . . . used badly." "There is no evidence any-where that he ever did anything knowingly wrong," he said. At one point, the governor said he didn't want to talk about the attorney general "at all." But. in the car, he declared, "Gremillion deserves it. He's been taking chances ever since he was elected. I'm just surprised he didn't get into trouble before." McKeithen expressed the opi-nion the LSU pay raises should be rescinded and described them as "administrative mistakes." "I think they were a mistake . . . We all make administrative mistakes . . I've made them . . . We've got some great people on the board, but I think they made a mistake," he said. He added that he gathers the board is "prepared to rectify it." Asked whether he contributed $50,000 to Hubert Humphrey's presidential campaign, the gov-ernor shot back, "I wish I had $50,000. Then, somebody else could be governor." More seriously, McKeithen said he was "aware" that a nurnber of his staunch supporters were prevailing on the Demo-crats to accept him as a running mate and that they raised some funds for the campaign. But he said he did not "personally raise or contribute money" in Hum-phrey's behalf. There was another question about whether LSU's proceeds from the 1968 Sugar Bowl game were used to finance his New Year's Eve party in New Or-leans, and McKeithen denied that emphatically. He said all he ever got from LSU was a watch. "And from the looks of things I should have gotten two watch-es!" he joked, noting that he serves as an ex-officio member of the LSU Board as well as being governor. He said the much-pub-licized watch gifts were one of the board's "mistakes." Asked about industrial recruit-ment, the governor said an industrial recruiting trip to Cali-fornia is promised during the coming spring if the money is available. In the light of the current economy effort the fact that it would cost several thousands of dollars, he said it is uncertain. There was a question about his removal of Caddo Rep. Frank Fulco from the Legislative Budg-et Committee in favor of Caddo Rep. Lonnie Aulds. McKeithen said he wanted to publicly apologize if he had hurt Fulco's feelings. "I want Frank Fulco and others to know that I've gotten hold of my temper . . . hopefully . . Any disagreements I've had, I'm willing to set aside," he said. He said the dispute had not been good for Caddo or the state. Spotting Fulco in the back of the room a few moments later, McKeithen told him he wished he had been there earlier to hear the "nice" things he was saying about him. And he repeated his apology. Fulco thanked him and said he was also willing to forget the matter. "But I want to take this opportunity to tell you that I think you made a political mistake," he added. "I don't think there's much doubt about that. I'm sure it was a political mistake, and if I'd known all the mean things you were going to say about me I might not have done it," the governor told him. Rushing away from the press conference. McKeithen trekked io the office of local GOP leader Charlton Lyons where he con-ferred with him and GOP National Committecman Tom Stagg about the tidelands prob-lem. He said following the session that Stagg agreed to serve on his special committee handling the matter. "We expect to have a meeting of the tidelands committee to-ward the end of this week or early next week," he said. Then, there was a rapid walk to meet Mayor Clyde E. Fant and Public Safety Commissioner George D'Artois and the legisla-tors clambered into automobiles to inspect new state schools in Shreveport. Riding in a local car of the State Police, the governor went first to Veterans Administration Hospital, where he was surprised to find the offices of LSU School of Medicine at Shreveport. He said he thought the new medical school was already under con-struction, and he said he had VA Hospital confused with Confeder-ate Memorial Medical Center. Next stop was LSU-Shreveport, where he was greeted by Dean Donald Shipp and was conducted on a brief tour. He exoressed delight over the 200-acre site, inquired why the site was elevated for the construction and then he shouted a farewell to someone he thought was Dean Shipp, and who wasn't. En route to Southern, Mc- Keithen's discussed the new 70th Street Extension bridge over Red River and laughed at a story in The Times that showed how its approach road evenly split pro-perty owned by former Gov. Jimmie Davis. At one of the stops, Caddo Sen. J. Bennett Johnston shoved Ful-co literally into the governor's arms, and the delegation joked about the "Big Boy" label McKeithen gave Caddo Rep.' Dayton Waller. There was a question about whether he had challenged Lyons to hold Nixon to his promise concerning Louisiana's tidelands, and McKeithen said that would have been unfair. At Southern, there was a quick, tour. The governor said the facil-ity is "prettier" than LSU-Shreve-port, and he asked for the name of the architect. Joking with university officials about their "not needing money," McKeithen promised additional funds will be forthcoming. "We're going to regroup," he said. Last stop was the Downtown Airport, where his State Police driver deposited him and then tried to explain to Appeal Court Judge James Bolin and a "Mr. Fowler" why the governor left without waiting for them to arrive. He knew they were coming, but they were late, and that, in a nutshell, was about the story of the day.

MyBayCity.com is one of my favorite places to go on the WEB. News items such as this need to be seen by everyone in Bay City. In my oppion one of the biggest problems we have through out the Country and especially in Bay City is the willingness to give away the City to the Corporate World. This company from France is no exception. What do we really gain by giving away our tax base with little in return. The company is expanding with a 10.3 million dollar expantion. How much of that 10.3 million will be from taxes not paid to the City of Bay City. I wonder if the other 39 Countries are doing the same thing this Company wants us to do. At what cost will we be getting jobs for possibly four(4) people and will they come from the Bay City labor pool?

they just laid off a bunch of people with more expected next month. they can make up whatever numbers they want on the tax abatement application about adding jobs. this equipment doesn't require any more employees to operate. bottom line is the city is losing out on revenue that could help pay for public safety
