Although I briefly touched on fundraising for the disaster in Japan in an earlier post, I think it's important to now examine the long term projects which have developed. We are seeing that fundraising was not just a trend at the time of crisis, rather, it's an on-going relief effort.
And what is shocking is that many of these events or programs are actually based in the social space. Below are examples of how designers, musicians and even chefs are banding together in the digital space to bring relief to Japan.
The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) is hosting an online auction through April 28 on charitybuzz.com. Auction items include a meeting with Vogue Editor- in- Cheif, Anna Wintour, and a behind the scenes tour of the 2012 Tommy Hilfiger photo shoot. They are promoting this event heavily in the social space, asking friends to share it on Facebook and use certain hash tags on Twitter. All proceeds go to the Japan Society.
Lady Gaga recently donated $1.5 million to Zynga's fundraising efforts with Save the Children and the American Red Cross. This is not the first time either of them have donated time or talent to Japan. Lady Gaga is featured on the upcoming Songs for Japan CD which also features Beyonce, Justin Beiber and other popular artists. Zynga has been fundraising on their own in the social space via their popular social games (Farmville being one of them). They were able to donate $2.5 million through the donations players had made.
Keeprecipes.com is putting together an All-Star digital cookbook with 86 cents of every dollar going to the American Red Cross for Japan relief. The digital book features 21 Japan-inspired recipes by various chefs and will be available on iTunes $10. Continue reading

Ovechkin's interview from Novogorsk
Just in from our senior investigative correspondent, good job as usual, Emily!
The NHL star Alexander Ovechkin pleases the fans of Moscow Dynamo this fall the same way as he did when he was younger. During the lockout he changed Washington Capitals jersey to a white-n-blue one and scores regularly , he has exactly 14 points in 14 games. It is an adventure to get an audience with Ovi. Alexander the Great, as he known in North America, does not exactly avoid the journalists. He talks to the press, unlike many far less famous soccer players, fairly regularly. But he takes it as a rather necessary inconvenience. During the interview Ovechkin takes indifferent gaze somewhere in front of him and gives short answers. It is hopeless to expect from him any revelations or at least to get interested in the process.
During the World Cup 2008 in Quebec I got access to the star through a colleague who knew Ovi from the time when he was just a schoolboy named Sasha. But even then Alexander has allocated to our communication exactly ten minutes. Once the time was up, he got up from the table and politely left. They say it is a part of his character.
Ovechkin gets tired easily and loses concentration from long talks. They say that even for a Dynamo's web site he had to be interviewed in two stages of 15 minutes each. So when Alexander became generous and agreed to ten minutes for "Rossiyskaya Gazeta", I immediately rushed to the team's training facility in Novogorsk. While waiting I watched Dynamo's training from the podium next to the head coach of the "white-n-blue" Oleg Znarok and Alexander Ovechkin's girlfriend tennis player Maria Kirilenko.
After training session ended Ovi didn't sound so optimistic about an interview. Sheltered in the locker room, he tried to convince Dynamo's press attache Mikhail Kravchenko to cut conversation to five minutes. We finally agreed on seven. Ovechkin followed timing strictly and by the end of the allotted period of time he looked tired. Here's what we've got in the end.
Alexander, according to information from the U.S. the NHL season can still happen, and almost in the near future. How long we will be able to watch you live?
I don't have any new information about it. Of course, I know a little more than the journalists, but to talk about it in the press doesn't make sense. Why blow up something comprehensible out of incomprehensible? If it is possible to play here, I will. I have developed an excellent relationship with the club, with the coaching staff, with the guys in the team. I feel yourself at home.
The club's president said that even if the NHL lockout is over, Dynamo wants to keep Ovechkin. Is it for real?
I don't think this is unrealistic. All things are possible. But let's wait and watch what will happen overseas.
Can top NHL players somehow influence the course of negotiations between the union and the leadership of the League?
Our head Donald Fehr knows the terms on which we would agree to play. Nobody wants to have their salary or their status to be lowered. Here everything would be up to Fehr. We have full confidence in him, but there the situation can change in different ways.
Can they can call you and say, "they offer such and such, will we agree?"
They're not at the market, this is not some kind of trade. The NHL is a big organization, and they are working thinking about the future. No one wants to have a good contract for the coming season, and then three or four years to play on terms that do not suit us. Everything must be planned in a systematic and uniform way.
Is lockout a blow to hockey in general?
Of course. It is especially strong blow to Canada, local hockey fans go crazy. But, again, we want to play, and the club owners do not.
Compared to season from which you went overseas, is it more difficult to play in the KHL?
Honestly, I do not even remember how it was then. Because I left a while ago and in Russia I didn't play too long. So I am not going to try to compare. The hockey is decent, the tournament is organized well, all at the highest level.
If Dynamo with his current roster would play in the NHL, what place it could take?
Over there, just like here, the regular season does not mean much. The main thing is the playoffs. In any case, I do not think that hockey in the NHL and KHL can be compared. You will need to practice to get used to the smaller rinks. These are two completely different game styles. In the NHL everything is compact; smaller rinks, you have to think faster. Here you have more time to make decisions.
As you play, and so we are seeing. But what else have time to do other than hockey?
(darkens) To be interviewed.
Still at home is probably nicer, friends are nearby, you can see more of them...
Home is home, but the traffic jams, of course, are killing. You can get here in ten minutes, but on the way back it could be two hours. And so it is very difficult to make any plans.
Your last message in the "Twitter" has excited the public - you have posted video about bursted pipe at your and Mikhail Anissin's hotel room in Nizhny Novgorod...
(Laughs) Yes, it happens.
Was it the first time you have faced such problem?
The pipes were bursting at home before, this is normal and there is nothing special. It was just a funny situation and I made fun about bursted pipe in our room.
Why after that your twitter account went silent for two weeks? Nearly half a million readers are waiting for your news.
Just nothing interesting is happening. I can not write that I went to the gym. If there are any important or interesting events, I naturally relate them to the global network.
How much are you engage in online life? 470,000 readers is more than the circulation of many newspapers. pretty big audience...
I have a very good attitude towards Twitter. I think this is the right decision for the public person to create your own personal pages. Every fan should see what her idol is doing. Laymen people can write and find out what's happening.
We followed your emotions in London on twitter, where you went to the Olympics to root for Maria Kirilenko. That was an unusually spent summer, wasn't it?
True, the summer was really quite different. I've spent more time on the road with my girlfriend, and in principle I am satisfied and happy with the way I've spent my time.
You were at the Winter Olympics as a member of a national team. Now visited the summer Olympics as a spectator. Does it feel different?
The fact is that in London Masha and I lived in the house, not at the Olympic village or at the training facility. That's why it is difficult to compare.
Do you understand tennis better now?
Yes, I started to understand it better. Fond of it, play myself. And I think Masha understands hockey better too.
Maria's tennis season is over. Is she with you all the time now?
Yes, everything is good. We will spend her vacation here.

Lanvin Happy Medium Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Classic greets modern in this elegant handbag from Lanvin. An instant staple in any wardrobe the navy-blue leopard-print beckons to be worn with a suit to a luncheon or simply to make a great first impression on an unsuspecting suitor. High-class with a bit of fun, the Happy Medium Leather Shoulder Bag features a shoulder strap of two gold-tone chains intermixed with black patent leather and a black grosgrain ribbon with bow. The fold-over flap is secured with a twist-lock fastening at the front and the silk-lined interior with designer stamp is marked with a zipped pocket to finish the look for $1,775. Personally, I think navy-blue is a nice change from black with just as much versatility, don't you? (13" x 9" x 2" with 15" handle drop)

Though they operate more than 200 locations in upwards of 30 states, the team behind U.S. Baseball Academy aims to make each young athlete's experience a personal one. Their four- or six-week camps are taught by local instructors who are current or former coaches at the high school or college level, and typically offer a 6:1 or better player-to-teacher ratio for intense, professional-style training. The Academy's proven itinerary of hitting, pitching, fielding, and baserunning drills was developed by an advisory board of college coaches and Major League players, including Cy Young Award–winner and ace pitcher Brandon Webb.
Since its 1965 founding in Venice Beach, California, Gold's Gym has dotted the globe with more than 600 locations where professional athletes and exercise newbies gather under the umbrella of personal strength. Nearly 3.5 million Gold's members chart and aim for their fitness peaks, perspiring beneath the gaze of certified personal trainers or pedaling beside peers at cycling sessions. In a diverse lineup of group classes, patrons strengthen cores with Pilates, finger-paint pictures of ninjas in martial arts, and amp up heart rates to the pulsating soundtracks of Les Mills routines. Many Gold's Gym locations stockpile futuristic amenities, such as cardio machines with individual iPod docks and televisions that help keep patrons motivated.
At Fired Up Fishing Charters, US Coast Guard–licensed captains Chris Cameron and Kyle Larson outfit anglers to catch fish such as mahi-mahi, tarpon, sailfish, and more Atlantic-dwelling species.

Putting Edge's phosphorescent indoor mini-golf course challenges the eyes, ears, and short-game prowess of players of all ages. The 18-hole course confronts club wielders with twists and turns amid a glowing battleground populated by painted neon trees, glowing statues, and iridescent wildlife conservationists. Upbeat music channels players' adrenaline as they expertly navigate their way through the incandescent irrigation routes and prove to competitors that their putting skills, like the bottom of Lake Michigan or Celine Dion's hair, are untouchable. Both golfers are equipped with a glow bracelet that shines as brightly as the course's black-lit critters, ensuring that no visitors are hazed by glowing parakeets. Though not included in this Groupon, players may also hone joystick skills and grapple for prizes at Putting Edge's arcade. The glow-in-the-dark atmosphere encourages friendly competition for players of all fitness levels, birthday parties, and group gatherings.
Dennis Buice, a member of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, unlocks the ocean's depths for students during diving courses that follow the PADI curriculum. Scuba-diver classes start out by introducing students to diving in monitored, shallow water, and advanced sessions span a spectrum from PADI open-water certification to professional training in the rescue-diver course. PADI specialty courses explore focused subjects such as snapping underwater photographs or maximizing underwater time by using enriched air nitrox. Kids' classes or Discover Scuba lets youngsters and newbies breathe underwater for the first time in the safety of a pool filled with less than 6 feet of water and no starving sharks.
At Orlando Shooting Sports, no one shoots without a firm grasp of firearm safety, responsibility, and proper technique. This philosophy pervades the business's firearm training, where seasoned instructors cater to beginners with professional, hands-on training at a supervised firing range.

Department for Work and Pensions: The Introduction of the Work Programme
HC 1814, Eighty-fifth Report of Session 2010-12 - Report, Together with Formal Minutes, Oral and Written Evidence
- Author:
- House of Commons - Committee of Public Accounts
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
'Department for Work and Pensions: The Introduction of the Work Programme (HC 1814)' examines the progress of the 'The Work Programme', designed to help long-term unemployed people into sustainable employment, started in June 2011, replacing virtually all welfare to work programmes run by the Department for Work and Pensions.
Over the next five years, the Programme is expected to help up to 3.3 million people at a cost of £3-5 billion; with 18 prime contractors, each with sub-contractors, in place to deliver the Programme across England, Scotland and Wales.
The Department has done well to introduce the Work Programme in 12 months. Prime contractors receive the majority of their payments once a participant has stayed in a job for a set period of time, with the length of time varying according to the claimant group.
Although some financial risks have been transferred to the providers, the test of whether the Programme is achieving value for money will be whether more people are in work as a result of the Programme than would have been if it had not existed, and that the wider social benefits which underpin the cost benefit analysis are delivered in practice.
The Department should seek assurance on a range of issues:
that sub contractors are treated fairly, not misled into accepting inappropriate contracts, and receive the number of cases and funding they were promised;
that harder to help claimants are not parked and ignored; and
ensuring proper value for money.
The Department relies on contractors to set minimum standards of service but has no measurable indicators against which the quality of service can be judged.

NHS Key Club seeking donations from local businesses
While Cardinals fans will be in for plenty of basketball action Friday night at the Newton Senior High School gym, they'll also have the opportunity to give back to community and, for a few lucky fans, come home with a Christmas present or two.
The NHS Key Club will host Christmas in the Gym on Friday, beginning at 6:15 p.m., where fans can donate items to the Salvation Army and will be entered into a drawing in return. The Community Cardinals also will be taking donations of gently used coats, mittens and winter wear during the event.
In addition to the Cardinals spirit wear up for grabs, the Key Club is asking for donations from local businesses in the form of gift certificates, mugs or whatever may serve as appropriate publicity for local businesses.

Have read about brigades and regiments that fought the entire war, but I am wondering if anyone here knows what percentage of men actually fought and survived the entire war? It seems as if it would be a very small percent, but honestly I don't know. |

If I understand your question correctly, I think it is next to impossible to answer without clarification. If you mean how many soldiers joined in 1861 and fought to 1865, does that discounts any soldiers that joined in 1862, 63, etc? You would have to drop soldiers who served their enlistments and were mustered out before the end of the war, but would you add back in soldiers who joined another unit. How would you count soldiers who were wounded or taken ill seriously enough to require several months or even years of convalescence before returning to their units? But, on the whole, I think you could get a very rough guess by looking at of the casualty returns of a few units who served though the entire war, though this is problematic because both Federal and Confederate units were replenished by new recruits throughout the war. Also, you would get a large discrepancy between line infantry, artillery and cavalry units and the rear echelon units. I'm afraid this may be a rather long winded way of saying that I think the question is impossible to answer with any degree of accuracy. -Mark |

Predictably demonizing radio host Alex Jones as extremist after his fiery appearance on Piers Morgan's CNN program last night, the cable network urged its viewers to 'compromise' and 'move to the middle' by giving support to President Obama's 'reasonable' gun control measures.
Meanwhile, Piers Morgan was portrayed as a victim after weeks of belittling firearms advocates. Once again, the collaborator media is trying to place guilt on gun owners for defending the right to keep and bear arms, pleading for compromise.
You cannot compromise on principle, and you cannot compromise on the 2nd Amendment — it 'shall not be infringed.'

Open carry in the United States
In the United States, open carry is shorthand terminology for "openly carrying a firearm in public", as distinguished from concealed carry, where firearms cannot be seen by the casual observer.
The practice of open carry, where gun owners openly carry firearms while they go about their daily business, has seen an increase in the U.S. in recent years.[1][2] This has been marked by a number of organized events intended to increase the visibility of open carry and public awareness about the practice.[3] Proponents of open carry point to history and statistics, noting that criminals usually conceal their weapons, a stark contrast to the law abiding citizens who proudly display their sidearms.[4] Encouraged by groups like OpenCarry.org, GeorgiaCarry.org and some participants of the Free State Project, open carry has seen a revival in recent years,[5][6][7] but it is not yet clear if this represents just a short-term trend.[8][9]
The gun rights community has been mixed in its response. Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation and the NRA have been cautious in expressing support,[10] while special-interest groups such as the aforementioned OpenCarry.org and GeorgiaCarry.org, and certain national groups such as the Gun Owners of America (GOA) have been more outspoken in favor of the practice.
Open carry is strongly opposed by gun control groups such as the Brady Campaign and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.[11][12]

In the United States, the laws concerning open carry vary by state and sometimes by municipality.
- Open carry
- The act of publicly carrying a firearm on one's person in plain sight.
- Plain sight
- Broadly defined as not being hidden from common observation; varies somewhat from state to state.
- Preemption
- In the context of open carry: the act of a state legislature passing laws which limit or eliminate the ability of local governments to regulate the possession or carrying of firearms.
- Prohibited persons
- People prohibited by law from carrying a firearm. Typical examples are felons, those convicted of a misdemeanor of domestic violence, those found to be addicted to alcohol or drugs, and those who have been involuntarily committed to a mental institution.
Categories of law[edit]
Today in the United States, the laws vary from state to state regarding open carry of firearms. The categories are defined as follows:
- Permissive open carry states
- A state has passed full preemption of all firearms laws. They do not prohibit open carry for all non-prohibited citizens and do not require a permit or license to open carry. Open carry is lawful on foot and in a motor vehicle. It must be noted that while open carry may be legal in such jurisdictions per se, persons openly carrying firearms may be detained and cited by law enforcement officials for disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace in certain locations and circumstances where openly carrying could cause public alarm.
- Licensed open carry states
- A state has passed full preemption of all firearms laws. They permit open carry of a handgun to all non-prohibited citizens once they have been issued a permit or license. Open carry of a handgun is lawful on foot and in a motor vehicle.
- Anomalous open carry states
- In these states, open carry of a handgun is generally lawful, but the state may lack preemption or there may be other significant restrictions. The limitations and/or lack of pre-emption may mean that certain areas of these states are, in their judicial system and law enforcement societies, not very friendly towards the practice, although this is not true in all of these states.
- Non-permissive open carry states
- In these states, open carry of a handgun is not lawful, or is only lawful under such a limited set of circumstances that public carry is effectively prohibited. Such limited circumstances may include when hunting, or while traveling to/from hunting locations, while on property controlled by the person carrying, or for lawful self-defense.
- Rural open carry states
- In these states, open carry is generally not prohibited only in unincorporated areas of counties where population densities are below statutorily-defined thresholds, and local authorities have enacted legislation to not prohibit open carry in such jurisdictions (California). As such, these states are also regarded as Non-Permissive open carry states.
Constitutional implications[edit]
Open carry has never been ruled out as a right under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by any court. In the majority opinion in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), Justice Antonin Scalia wrote concerning the entirety of the elements of the Second Amendment; "We find that they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation." However, Scalia continued, "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."[20]
Forty-three states' constitutions recognize and secure the right to keep and bear arms in some form, and none of those prohibit the open carrying of firearms. Five state constitutions provide that the state legislature may regulate the manner of carrying or bearing arms, and advocates argue that none rule out open carry specifically. Nine states' constitutions indicate that the concealed carrying of firearms may be regulated and/or prohibited by the state legislature. Open carry advocates argue that, by exclusion, open carrying of arms may not be legislatively controlled in these states. But this is not settled law.[citation needed]
Section 1.7 [21] of Kentucky's state constitution only empowers the state to enact laws prohibiting "concealed carry".
Open carry demonstrations and events[edit]
- May 2, 1967 openly armed members of the Black Panther Party marched on the California State capitol[22] in opposition to the then-proposed Mulford Act prohibiting the public carrying of loaded firearms. After the march in the state capitol building, the law was quickly enacted.[23]
- On June 16, 2000, the New Black Panther Party along with the National Black United Front and the New Black Muslim Movement protested the death sentencing conviction of Gary Graham, by openly carrying shotguns and rifles at the Texas Republican National convention in Houston, Texas.[24]
- In 2003, gun rights supporters in Ohio used a succession of Open Carry "Defense Walks" attempting to persuade the Governor to sign concealed carry legislation into law.[25]
- The legality of open carry of certain firearms in Virginia was reaffirmed after several 2004 incidents in which citizens openly carrying firearms were confronted by local law enforcement. The Virginia law prohibits the open carry, in certain localities, of any semiautomatic weapon holding more than 20 rounds or a shotgun that holds more than seven rounds, without a concealed carry permit.[26]
- In 2008, Clachelle and Kevin Jensen, of Utah, were photographed together openly carrying handguns in the Salt Lake City International Airport near a "no weapons" sign. The photo led to an article in The Salt Lake Tribune about the airport's preempted "no weapons" signs. After a few weeks, the city removed the signs.[27][better source needed]
- In 2008, Zachary Mead was detained in Richmond County, Georgia by law enforcement for openly carrying a firearm. The weapon was seized. The organization GeorgiaCarry.org filed a lawsuit on behalf of Mead. The court declared that the seizure was a violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, awarded court costs and attorney fees to Mead, and dismissed the remaining charges with prejudice.[28]
- In 2008, Brad Krause of West Allis, Wisconsin was arrested by police for alleged disorderly conduct while openly carrying a firearm while planting a tree on his property. A court later acquitted him of the disorderly conduct charge, observing in the process that in Wisconsin there is no law dealing with the issue of unconcealed weapons.[29]
- On April 20, 2009, Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen issued a memorandum to district attorneys stating that open carry was legal and in and of itself does not warrant a charge of disorderly conduct. Milwaukee police chief Ed Flynn instructed his officers to take down anyone with a firearm, take the gun away, and then determine if the individual could legally carry it until they could make sure the situation is safe.[30]
- On May 31, 2009, Washington OpenCarry members held an open carry protest picnic at Silverdale's Waterfront Park, a county park. Attendees openly carried handguns in violation of posted regulations prohibiting firearms at the park. [31] Washington state law allows the open carrying of firearms and specifically preempts local ordinances more restrictive than the state's, such as the one on the books for Kitsap county. Shortly after the protest Kitsap county commissioners voted to amend KCC10.12.080[32] to remove the language that banned firearms being carried in county parks. KCC10.12.080 Was amended on July 27, 2009 and as of May 31, 2012 most of the signs in the county still read that firearms are prohibited despite numerous attempts to get the county to update the signs. The amendment is listed as it reads in meeting minutes from July 2009[33]
KCC10.12.080 Amendment: It is unlawful to shoot, fire or explode any firearm, firecracker, fireworks, torpedo or explosive of any kind
or to carry any firearmor to shoot or fire any air gun, BB gun, bow and arrow or use any slingshot in any park, except the park director may authorize archery, slinging, fireworks and firing of small bore arms at designated times and places suitable for their use.
- In July 2009, an open carry event organized by OpenCarry.org took place at Pacific Beach, San Diego, California, where citizens carrying unloaded pistols and revolvers were subjected to Section 12031(e) inspections of their firearms on demand by police officers. The officers were obviously well-briefed on the details of the law, which allows Californians to openly carry only unloaded guns and allows carry of loaded magazines and speedloaders.[5]
- On August 11, 2009, William Kostric, a New Hampshire resident, Free State Project participant, and former member of We The People's Arizona Chapter,[34] was seen carrying a loaded handgun openly in a holster while participating in a rally outside a town hall meeting hosted by President Barack Obama at Portsmouth High School in New Hampshire. Kostric never attempted to enter the school, but rather stood some distance away on the private property of a nearby church, where he had permission to be. He held up a sign that read "It's Time to Water the Tree of Liberty!".[35]
- On August 16, 2009, "about a dozen" people were noted by police to be openly carrying firearms at a health care rally across the street from a Veterans of Foreign Wars Convention in the Phoenix Convention Center, where President Barack Obama was giving an address.[36] While the Secret Service was "very much aware" of these individuals, Arizona law does not prohibit open carry.[37] No crimes were committed by these protesters, and no arrests were made.[38] In an interview with Fox News, commentator James Wesley Rawles characterized the Phoenix protesters as "merely exercising a pre-existing right". When he was asked about open carry, "but...without a permit?" Rawles opined, "We have a permit--it is called the Second Amendment."[39]
- On January 30, 2010 Members of Michigan Open Carry were eating at a local Ponderosa Steakhouse in Lansing, Michigan when local police responded and forced them to leave.[40] A person rumored to be a United States Marine was carrying an AR-15 at this open carry event. A brief verbal argument ensued between the leader of the open carry group and the Lansing Police Department. No arrests were made; some of the law enforcement officers at the scene were given reprimands[citation needed] for their actions arising from the incident.
- In May 2010, Jesus C. Gonzalez was arrested and charged with homicide in a shooting which occurred while he was carrying a handgun. Gonzalez was involved in two prior arrests for disorderly conduct, based on his open carry practice. He filed a lawsuit claiming fourth and fourteenth amendment violations. His suit and appeal were both dismissed. Gonzalez was convicted on lesser charges, including reckless homicide.[41]
- The Starbucks coffee chain has been the target of several boycotts arranged by gun control groups to protest Starbucks' policy of allowing concealed and open carry weapons in stores, if allowed by local laws. A counter buycott was proposed for Valentines Day of 2012 to show support from gun owners for Starbucks, with the use of two dollar bills to represent Second Amendment rights.
Diversity in state laws[edit]
State laws on open carry vary widely. Six states, the Territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia fully prohibit the open carry of handguns. On the other side, twelve states permit open carry of a handgun without requiring the citizen to apply for any permit or license. Thirteen states require some form of permit (often the same permit as allows a person to carry concealed), and the remaining seventeen states, though not prohibiting the practice in general, do not preempt local laws or law enforcement policies, and/or have significant restrictions on the practice, such as prohibiting it within the boundaries of an incorporated urban area. Illinois allows open carry on private property only.[42]
As of August, 2009, four states that currently restrict open carry as a remnant of the post-Civil war Reconstruction era[43] (Texas, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas) are considering making it again legal.[11][44] Bills were drafted in the Texas Legislature for the 2009 and 2011 sessions, backed by proponents such as OpenCarry.org, but did not make it to the floor.
On October 11, 2011, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law that it would be a "misdemeanor to openly carry an exposed and unloaded handgun in public or in a vehicle." This does not apply to the open carry of rifles or long guns or persons in rural areas where permitted by ordinance.
On November 1st, 2011, Wisconsin codified open carry and recognized its legality by adding a sub section to its Disorderly Conduct statute (947.01). Subsection 2 reads "Unless other facts and circumstances that indicate a criminal or malicious intent on the part of the person apply, a person is not in violation of, and may not be charged with a violation of, this section for loading, carrying, or going armed with a firearm, without regard to whether the firearm is loaded or is concealed or openly carried."
2012 May 15: Gov. Mary Fallin signed Senate Bill 1733, the Oklahoma Self Defense Act, which will allow people with Oklahoma concealed weapons permits to open carry if they so choose. The law took effect in November, 2012. "Under the measure, businesses may continue to prohibit firearms to be carried on their premises. SB 1733 prohibits carrying firearms on properties owned or leased by the city, state or federal government, at corrections facilities, in schools or college campuses, liquor stores and at sports arenas during sporting events."[45]
Federal Gun Free School Zones Act[edit]
The Federal Gun Free School Zones Act limits where a person may legally carry a firearm by generally prohibiting carry within one-thousand (1000) feet of the property-line of any K-12 school in the nation with private property excluded.[46] A State-issued permit to carry may exempt a person from this restriction depending on the laws of the State, and most issuing States qualify for this exception. However, according to BATFE the exception in Federal law is only applicable to permit holders while in the State that physically issued their permit, and does not exempt people with out-of-state permits, even when their permit is recognized through State reciprocity agreements. BATFE letter explaining reciprocity of CCW permit holders and how it applies to Gun-Free School Zones.
In a 1995 Supreme Court case, the Act was declared unconstitutional. "The Court today properly concludes that the Commerce Clause does not grant Congress the authority to prohibit gun possession within 1,000 feet of a school, as it attempted to do in the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, Pub. L. 101-647, 104 Stat. 4844." [47]
The law was reenacted in the slightly different form, in 1996.[48]

- Spread frosting over sides of cake and pipe a shell border along the top and bottom edges. Garnish with raspberries if desired. Chill 1 hour. Yield: 12 servings.
Reviews for Raspberry Lemon Cake(18)
Sort By :
I have not tried this yet. I plan to make it for my birthday. I love lemon so it will be perfect not the traditional chocolate. I think I will use blueberry instead of raspberry unless someone has a better idea.
I would make it again but without the lemonade concentrate over the top. It makes it really tart! Very lemony and delicious though.
Disaster !!!! Did not like this at all. Flavor was ok. Would leave off the lemonade glaze, just too much. Made cake doughy.
There were lots of ways to cut down on the calories of this recipt. Used Nefchatel instead of cream cheese, left out the lemonade mixture, sugar free jam, etc. Still tasted great and a nice change from chocolate.
I made this recipe into 28-32 cupcakes. I filled the cupcake molds halfway with cake batter then added 1/2 tsp of jam and then covered with more batter until they were 2/3 full. I baked at 350 for about 17-22 min. After cupcakes cooled I frosted with the cream cheese frosting and then added 1/2 tsp of lemon curd on top along with a little sprinkle of lemon zest Foe decoration. They are so good! Everyone loved them and they disappeared quickly! Thank you for sharing this great recipe!

Grocery stores make shopping easier and healthier
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
7 comments posted
My racing car grocery cart was packed with children and food — and yet everyone was happy. I can only take credit for the choice of store. The real credit goes to my local grocer. I frequent this store not only for the weekly sales and friendly hometown service, but also because of the perks that make shopping so much easier — such as a free piece of fruit for the kids and baggers who load your groceries into your car.
Grocery stores have realized that they can attract customers by offering more services. Hence the addition of banks, post offices, child care facilities and pharmacies. But the best grocery stores still focus on offering top quality foods — and helping consumers make healthy choices. To aid customers, some grocery stores display educational posters and have chefs highlight healthy cooking techniques. Others pull out all the stops and employ dietitians to provide nutrition advice.
Do your local grocery stores offer these services? Do the perks influence your buying habits? Are you making healthier choices? What other services would you like to see?
To your health,

NuVal was recently added to my grocery system. The store had a table for weeks that explained the system & how it can help you shop. Obviously it prefers whole fruits & veggies, but has been really helpful in comparison shopping. NuVal is way faster than comparing nutrition facts!!

Yea I agree, I notice that most people when grocery shopping will just go by a box having a logo on it saying that it is healthy for you. But just like I write on my blog eating healthy blog I always tell someone that you should do your research first on the health food you want to buy or talk to a nutritionalist and find out what foods are good for you... Thanks,

I would very much like to see more information posted. Especially for things like produce. Some fruits and vegetables I don't recognize, and I can't use them without clear identification and an idea of what to do with them. There's a wonderful display of greens at my store, with signs above lising prices. But which is which? I don't kow what _____ looks like! How should it be cleaned, served, stored? Is it especially good with ..... ? And where did it come from? Was it picked early and then spent lots of time in a truck or shipping container? And what is "in season"? (and do you mean in season here or in South America?) Will the price always be this high, or will it come down later on (when it is in season?)? I can't afford to experiment, we need to be able to eat everything I bring home!

I especially like stores that have butchers, bakers and even the produce folks offering recipes and cooking tips. Stores that have in-house chefs demonstrating easy-to-make dishes are especially helpful. It's nice to have someone to talk food and nutrition with, especially when you have questions. I try to help folks make sense of conflicting nutrition information with my blog, www.nutritionmythsexposed.com.

I realize hectic lifestyles benefit from having a store which offers many services. I also noticed that these stores are also the priciest. I still prefer the "one of" shops and actually was "waxing nostalgic" of this older way of shopping not too long ago. It is one of the reasons I would like to move back to the big city. I miss the green grocer; the butchers; the dry goods store; the bakery. Its also nice to walk into a store where you are known by name.

Man held at knifepoint as robbers ransack his Darcy Lever home
1:13pm Tuesday 22nd October 2013 in News By Liam Thorp, Reporter
ROBBERS beat and held their terrified victim at knifepoint as they ransacked his home.
Two masked men broke into the back of the semi-detached house in Higher Darcy Street, Darcy Lever, and threatened a 23-year-old man, who was asleep at the time of the break-in, with a knife.
They made their way upstairs, demanded money and punched the victim, who is believed to be renting the house, in the head and face at about 11.30am on Monday.
One of the robbers held the victim at knifepoint while the other ransacked the house — causing "significant" damage and stealing mobile phones, computers and other property.
Neighbours have said they are "terrified" after hearing about the young man's ordeal.
Julie Ettenfield, who lives nearby, said: "I don't feel safe around here any more, this used to be a nice area to live in.
"I feel like I want to move away and I know that others feel the same."
Another resident, who did not want to be named, added: "It's totally terrifying to hear what's happened — it makes you feel very vulnerable in your own home.
"I'm constantly checking all my windows and doors to make sure they are locked.
"I have spoken to the young man since the incident and he said that he is doing okay."
Officers have now stepped up patrols in the area. Police have issued descriptions of the suspected offenders — both are white males, aged between 18 and 20 and about 5ft 10in tall.
Both were wearing hooded coats with scarves and ski masks used to cover their faces.
Det Con Stuart Round, from Farnworth, said: "The victim is understandably very shaken.
"The intent of the offenders was clear which was to cause the maximum amount of fear in order to get their hands on money and property. We believe this was an isolated incident."
Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact 0161 8565608 or Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800555111.

I also want to weigh in on the fact that so many family and friends to stay abreast of what's going money for example I found out what one of my grooms men.
You know I've gone through some issues they got a hold -- last night via cell -- but the reason why -- with us on FaceBook -- His entire window his fifteenth floor -- apartment had been taken out by a railing that are broken off.
And that's why you can get a hold -- so I mean this this stuff really is important for family and friends as well.
Oh definitely are seen in -- limited -- -- kind of lose in Manhattan.
And you're able to contact him.
We -- social media and he was able to keep in touch with as well.
And I at a local family who live on the opposite side of Manhattan and I feel like as long as you're getting a commission from our families -- We know that they're safe.
I think you know what -- said.
-- this -- up the phone lines and use social media -- get in contact with more relatives.
Because the -- to be -- And I think what social media you can reach.
You are more number of people in short amount of time I think they've done so.
In and -- really quick fashion and I think going back this comfortably smug.
I think the great thing about social media only people took to Twitter and -- -- and -- immediately.
Show that the stock exchange will not let it welcomed the photos come out.
And you have these Twitter vigilantes that we're ready feel that dispute comfortably -- all information.
That's his -- -- as -- as the president did their -- you also there is a worried.
-- yet to be careful can you do have a lot of impostors out there are a lot of people that are gonna make a fund make it make it fun when you shouldn't be arguable that you really have.
Deviancy in mind right easier to -- air -- of those things going viral.
-- Oh definitely and I think yeah that is that the vigilantes get a majority that'll that'll correct the wrong.
And I mean you look at.
The fact that Twitter is such a quick response on a quick source of information.
And you know -- -- movement in this factual or -- this fall I think it's a strain on the fact that you want information so quickly.
And sometimes accuracy can go out the window whether it's.
Daily to your New Year's order or the fact that the big journalist.
The -- CNN weather channel picking up.
And Fox News Channel of course of all the agreement that we don't pick up the the false information I'll have a question ability from one of our viewers -- you first James.
It comes from chuck glow he says how does FaceBook vs Twitter -- is -- Graham.
Differ in the ways they are used in this types of disaster in these types of disasters out how they differ James you -- Sure well FaceBook obviously the bit of a close loop because it's pretty much your community so.
You pretty much or knowing who's responding who's in your you know your your time line -- -- feed.
And so it's not that I guess I use it differently in that I'm crowd sourcing.
With with a group of individuals -- have a pretty much of a relationship with.
I'm pretty much know.
On the first name basis Twitter on the other hand is the world it's like standing on the corner of 42 -- and -- conversation and yelling out there and think hey.
What do you know and -- someone picking -- up three tweeting it.
And sharing it with their friends so friends and like I leave for New York in the morning.
-- I'll be there tomorrow and I was not sure where the transportation was going to be an issue.
I think -- -- transportation give -- an issue immediately I got drivers that were contacting me telling me.
That they would pick me up from the airport companies that were telling me everything's okay let's -- -- that operates this program is so -- he.
Awesome representation of visual conversation so everything is about visual and pictures can can -- a thousand words.
And so what -- -- does really well as its shares.
Imagery tells the story through images and I think that's that's we've seen in this that the first I think sure -- tragic incident in the United States.
We're really -- an -- -- and become a real important messaging platform.
Yeah I would agree with that as well -- and we really haven't had major hurricane like we've seen a we had obviously there when the roll through the south earlier this year but a couple month month and a half ago or so -- -- significant damage.
But we haven't seen a story to this magnitude since you've had -- mr.
-- FaceBook and Twitter.
So widely used Roy -- -- give me the difference is you think between the three.
I think.
And they're the point where.
But there's a lot more about vehicles are -- who -- when did -- there.
I'd like you would rather fool you look at information -- where is the my close and it social network.
I can look at New York information -- -- -- information from anywhere in the world.
And I can look -- anybody -- information just by looking up ask tiger search.
I think if you combined into ground rules.
Twitter and FaceBook bucolic greater story and we've been a perfect example of being able to.
Stitched together a complete story and if you do get all the information you can kind of validate that with multiple sources.
I -- I guess.
Both easier to had to be really quick James you first at a viewers weigh in social media underscores the continued -- -- the validity of the Electoral College.
The founders caution of course -- dictatorship of the masses if we didn't have that.
I mean how much -- had to get a big -- what we've talked about the storm quickly the importance of social media as we get close this election on Tuesday James you first in the got to be fast.
Well it's about transparency it's about you know those undecided voters.
-- I think getting every answer they need from from the politicians themselves.
Or from people have something sensible thing I think it's a player really important role -- -- people going to the polls and voting.
And getting even people who are on the fence -- in conditioning in this election even more so in the last election.
Thanks James Roy came from -- -- our viewer what do you have to say about it.
I think that integrity.
-- along with that you have to look for the poll it commissioned by eight well.
They're jumping off point the look and -- for more information please to be more important.
