--backup=t (thanks to Matt) to prevent file collisions from same-named files. Thanks Matt! A bashrc version and a bash script are both available.
rm -f,
-fr, or
-rf options) that it looks like
mv will not do. When this happens files don't get removed and compiling errors can occur. I am still trying to figure out how to do this.
I've deleted files before that I wish I could have back and resorted to file saving utilities to try and save them but I have never done this before:
rm -rf ~/ .Arachnophilia
I was doing a bit of spring (fall?) cleaning and as you may have guessed: the space between
~/ and
.Arachnophilia was not intended. An accidental slip of the thumb caused this and yes, this had caused my computer to delete my whole home directory! I remembered a post I had read and quickly I did
sudo init 1 to drop into single user mode. The post was for recovering a text file though and single user mode didn't accept any input anyhow so I rebooted into my beloved install disk.
R! and R? (Request!! and Recover?)
Luckily I had back up several days ago. I wrote down the files I had been working on since then to try and recover. The Arch Wiki has a good page on this. I tried extundelete first and while its probably the best and most through way to recover all files, it recovers the files like this:
ls . | head -n 2 010392 010394
Since the files I've been working on were just text files and scripts, Photorec was a better application for this. Photorec is able to analyze and determine certain file types including text files and script files.
Afterward, I was left with directories and files that looked like
recup_dir/f1029394.txt. 14000 and some text files if I remember right. To be able to find which one were the correct ones using
grep is awesome. So quick too. I just had to be able to remember some text within the file and search for it like this:
grep -rn --include=*.txt "the text here" .
Using grep alone instead of combined it with some program like
find is much quicker. The
-r does a recursive search, the
-n will print the line number, and
--include specifies the file type in this case. Piping grep works good for more refined searches like searching for two patterns on a string or removing a string:
grep -rn --include=*.txt "the text here" . | grep -n "this too" grep -rn --include=*.txt "the text here" . | grep -v "string not with this"
I found the files I needed, thankfully, and was able to get them back.
~/Never\ Again\?/
First thing I did after restoring from my backup was to see if I could prevent this again. The answer was pretty simple: move the files to the trash instead. By adding:
alias rm="mv -t ~/.local/share/Trash/files --backup=t --verbose"
to the
~/.bashrc files will get moved to the trash instead of deleted. The
~/.local/share/Trash/file is defined by the freedesktop.org organization so it has interoperability with and Gnome and other desktops. With the
-t and
--backup=t options
mv will rename files with duplicate file names to ones with appended numbers (e.g.

Wylies's obsession: A river runs through it
In producing the photos that comprise the book Stillwater and the exhibit of the same name, photographer William Wylie spent several years along the banks of the Cache la Poudre, a river running through Ft. Collins, Colorado. Evidently, the five-mile stretch of the Poudre which attracted Wylie runs right up against civilization– that is, it is clearly visible from highways, parking lots, and back porches.
But you wouldn't know that from Wylie's pictures. The juxtaposition of nature and the quick-mart is not his thing. The photographer (and assistant professor in UVA's McIntire department of art) is wholly obsessed with the surface of the river. His images, with their tight focus, blurry margins, and frequent lack of contextual elements (trees, river bank) are the photo equivalent of squinting over the side of the boat.
A quote on the wall by Wendell Berry nicely sets up more than a few of the black and white photos, which trace the wobbly, half-abstracted reflections of what might be trees along the bank set against the contrasting pattern of the river's own undulation. Wylie shows an interest in the changes of the river surface over time. Almost without exception, he limits himself to the water's surface, which makes it difficult to tell the spring shots from summer or fall.
Wylie does include a winter shot, however, one which takes in the topography of his river frozen into tiny ridges. Nevertheless, the reflecting surface of the river seems to be his overriding interest, and true to form, the photographer couldn't resist leaving a tiny patch of unfrozen river in the top left corner of his frame– here also with the wavy shadows, widening in waves as they stretch out, like a rust stain streaming from an old bolt exposed to the elements.
As you follow the photos around the display space, downstairs at the University of Virginia Art Museum, Wylie's photography seems to inch closer and closer to pure abstraction. One photo in particular, almost at the end of the bunch, assumes an extremely tight shot of a ripple in the water. The satiny, enlarged surface looks almost like an imaginary landscape, a field of cloud, or a cut yard of rumpled silk. In the context of the exhibit, it is easy to recognize the river again. But without that context, it isn't clear at all.
Wylie obviously possesses the kind of patience most people lack– the patience to spend hours starring at the water's surface, discerning and then choosing from its endless variation. Fortunately for us, he is also a photographer.
Stillwater, photography by William Wylie, runs through October 27 at the University of Virginia Art Museum. A gallery talk, reception and book signing are scheduled for Sunday, September 29, at 2pm. 155 Rugby Road. 924-3592.

Those familiar with this blog will find some familiar themes.
A portion of it is very close in spirit to a post I published here early in June 2012 - Create Value As If The World Exists.
Here's an excerpt from Principle 2: Open Capital.
"In line with the needs of the industrial age, Capital was organised on the principles of mass and centralised control; Big blocks of cash held by small groups of decision-makers fitted that world.Read it in full.
"But the networked world requires something new, something which delivers faster decisions together with wider distribution of both risk and reward, something which moves the role of the customer from 'end user' to participant and partner; something which is a better fit with networks.
"We call this Open Capital: Using crowd-funding platforms or principles to raise capital through micro-investments... today's entrepreneurs opt for Open Capital knowing that the advantages go far beyond a new route to capital... Open Capital shares the costs and risks and therefore the ownership and the passion. It democratises innovation."

I've read the documentation. It's still unclear. I've searched this forum. No luck. So would someone kindly explain in simple terms why the asterisk ("zero or any occurrences") is necessary - as described in the comments above the expression. Just guessing: the asterisk is the "thereafter" part? But how do we arrive at that from the "zero or any occurrences" described in the Pattern documentation?
Here's the example:
// This method verifies that firstName starts with an uppercase // letter and contains lowercase letters thereafter. public void setFirstName(String first) { if (firstName.matches("[A-Z][a-z]*")) { this.firstName = first; } // and blah blah blah...
After reading the documentation, it seems to me that the expression would say: "the first letter of firstName must be uppercase and the second letter is must be lowercase, zero or any number of times" (which of course doesn't make sense). The comments above tell me how the expression should be read, but I don't see the logic in that translation --- yet.

Ugandan Lashes At Sudan
(It's Sudan's fault says Uganda's president).
The Ugandan president has lashed out at the Sudan government, blaming it for the war in Uganda—separately, Yoweri K. Museveni also attacked the country's news media.
His critics, including opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye, have recently said the president's ridiculing of the peace negotiations with the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the government, jeopardized a potential deal.
"This is not a civil war. Who is fooling who?" Museveni said, in his remarks at a news conference. "If the local people are not involved and are being killed, it can not be a civil war but terrorism. God works in mysterious ways." He added: "The foolishness of Khartoum attacking us by supporting the Lord's Resistance Army terrorists enabled us to stand with our brothers in Southern Sudan." His reference was to Uganda's support for the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA) during that country's civil war.
Museveni's remarks about the country hosting the peace talks –albeit negotiations are being held in the practically autonomous South Sudan—comes at a time when key stakeholders have warned against "harmful propaganda" that could scuttle the fragile talks. Dr. Besigye on October 20 wrote to the President of Southern Sudan Gen. Salva Kiir, who is hosting the talks, about "unwarranted utterances" by Museveni, that could undermine the talks.
"It is a terrorism campaign that was organized by the government of Sudan who wanted to overthrow us because Khartoum thought we would side with the Blacks in southern Sudan whose rights were being sat on by the Sudan administration."
Regarding the countries two major newspapers, the privately owned The Daily Monitor and the government-controlled New Vision, the president said: "They are really very useless. The type of characters in those two institutions have no contribution to this country."

Brazil's Fred says it was a 'clear penalty' on him
TERESOPOLIS, Brazil (AP) Brazil striker Fred has defended his actions that led to the controversial penalty in the World Cup opener against Croatia, saying he was clearly fouled.
Speaking publicly for the first time after Brazil's 3-1 win over Croatia on Thursday in Sao Paulo, Fred came to the defense of Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura.
''It was a clear penalty,'' Fred said in a video released by the Brazilian football federation on Friday. ''There is no such thing as more penalty or less penalty.''
Replays showed there was minimal contact by the Croatian defender before Fred fell, but Nishimura made the call and Neymar converted the 71st-minute penalty to break a 1-1 deadlock and send Brazil on its way to victory.
The Croatians were furious with the decision and said it helped decide the match. Coach Niko Kovac described it as ''a robbery'' and said the ''the whole world saw the big mistake'' by the referee. He said that ''if that was a penalty, we should be playing basketball. Those kinds of fouls are penalized there.''
But Fred said he was brought down by defender Dejan Lovren while trying to make a turn toward goal from inside the area.
''I controlled the ball and was ready to turn when there was a charge on my shoulder,'' Fred said. ''I couldn't reach the ball anymore, lost my balance and fell.''
He added: ''There was a charge on my left shoulder and that kept me from scoring the goal while I was inside the small area. It was a clear penalty. There were a lot of people saying it wasn't a penalty. But there was a charge and it was enough to pull me away from the ball and keep me from scoring.''
Fred didn't talk to reporters after Thursday's match because he was among the players selected for doping tests.
The penalty was widely criticized, mostly against the referee's decision. But France striker Loic Remy said Fred should be ''punished'' for the way he won the call.
''He does it well, throws himself at the right time because you can see that there's no foul at all. Lovren doesn't pull him back,'' Remy, who played two seasons with Fred for Lyon, said Friday.
FIFA declined to criticize the call and said Nishimura was in good position to make a decision. Massimo Busacca, head of FIFA's refereeing department, did not say if Nishimura would control more games. He said the game evaluation would be based on 90 minutes, not just one call.
''We are human,'' Busacca said. ''There is not one human in life that is not committing a mistake. It's part of life. The referee lives with this responsibility.''
Fred said that FIFA had already warned all the teams that referees would be watchful of players grabbing each other inside the area during the World Cup.
''FIFA sent a refereeing commission to talk to every player in all of the national teams and said that grabbing inside the area wouldn't be allowed and the referees would be calling penalties,'' he said.
The Brazilian striker stressed that he is ''not a player who is falling all the time.'' He said there was a similar foul against him in Brazil's last warm-up match before the World Cup, against Serbia, but he said he continued the play and was able to score despite being grabbed.

How to Remove Ice Tea Stains.
How to Remove Ice Tea Stains.
Ice Tea is simply tea on ice. Whether it's Lipton, Celestial Seasonings, Peet's, or Starbuck it is still tea, so we need to address this stain the same way we would address any tea stain. Plant base stains such as a tea stain falls into the Tannin Stain category. As with all tannin stains it is always best to remove the stain as soon as it happens, while the stain is wet it is much easier to remove. The longer we wait the more difficult it will become to remove the stain and the stain will set and oxidize over time.
Vaska Laundry Detergent:
- Create a spotting solution of 1 part Vaska Laundry Detergent, and 10 parts water.
- Apply this solution to a white towel and blot the tea stain.
- Let the solution penetrate for a few minutes.
- Apply clean water to a white towel and blot stained area followed by a dry towel.
- Repeat steps if necessary.
When done skip to Finishing Up.
Heinz Distilled White Vinegar:
- If the first steps did not achieve adequate results then continue; apply distilled white vinegar to the tea stain directly.
- Tap the stain lightly with a soft brush (toothbrush) to help the vinegar penetrate into the stain.
- Leave the vinegar on for a few minute to penetrate.
- Blot area with a wet white towel followed by a dry white towel.
- Repeat steps if necessary.
When done skip to Finishing Up.
Everyday Stain & Odor Remover by Earth Friendly Products or Bac-Out by BioKleen
- Apply the enzyme stain remover directly to the tea stain.
- Enzymes take time to work so apply the product a let it rest for 1-2 hours.
- Blot with a wet white towel followed by a dry white towel.
- Repeat steps if necessary.
When done removing the stain always finish by cleaning the entire item per manufacture care instructions. Even benign spotting agents such as these will oxidize and yellow over time.
Seek professional help if necessary. If you have a good relationship with your green dry cleaners they will be more than happy to help you with stain removal and cleaning questions.

LONGMONT — Colorado's latest snowstorm pulled most of its punches, in the Longmont area at least.
Friday afternoon's forecasts that snowfall could amount to as much as 8 to 14 inches by the time it ended prompted cancellations or postponements of Saturday activities ranging from a 4-H Carnival at the Boulder County Fairgrounds to SAT testing at Longmont High School.
People who'd watched or heard those predictions could be seen converging on local grocery stores Friday night as they stocked up for what they expected to be a day-long winter storm snow deluge on Saturday.
Longmont began getting its share of the storm's moisture before 6 a.m. Saturday, but near- or above-freezing temperatures kept city streets wet, and not even usually slushy, through the afternoon.
While morning snows covered lawns and parked cars, most of the city's sidewalks remained snow-free until early Saturday afternoon.
Also by early Saturday afternoon, the National Weather Service downgraded its forecast, saying that the Longmont area's daytime snow accumulation would amount to only 1 to 3 inches by 5 p.m., but the snow had actually pretty much already diminished to something fewer than flurries by 3:30 p.m. and had ended by 4.
Times-Call weather consultant Dave Larison said that as of 3 p.m. his north Longmont snow measurement came in at 2.5 inches. It was a fairly wet snow, though, he said, with the snowfall's liquid precipitation content measuring 0.21 inches.
"The temperatures were just a little too warm" for a higher snow accumulation, Larison said. "Overall, to me, it turned out to be a routine March snowstorm."
Longmont Police Sgt. David Terrell reported Saturday afternoon that "steady snowfall throughout the day created wet streets but no drama."
Terrell said the only notable motor vehicle accident during the day was the result of a right-of-way violation and wasn't weather related. He said Longmont signal technicians cleared accumulating snow from traffic signals that were facing into the wet blowing snow that did arrive, and that a water main break near Fox Hill Drive and Golden Lane created low water pressure, requiring a city crew to dig a 10-foot by 10-foot hole to repair it as the snow fell.
Street conditions were good throughout the day in Longmont, but with Saturday night temperatures expected to be in the 13-degree range, Terrell said that "things may change later tonight (Saturday) as pavement temps drop below freezing."
What little snow remained on the ground in Longmont on Sunday morning wasn't likely to linger. Temperatures were predicted to reach 42, followed by a 49-degree high on Monday, a 59-degree day on Tuesday and a 63-degree high on Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Other parts of the state, and the roads in areas such as the Foothills and the Eastern Plains, didn't fare as well as Longmont on Saturday.
Multiple accidents closed Colorado Highway 119 through Boulder Canyon for several hours Saturday morning. That's also the route that many fans of Nederland's Frozen Dead Guy Days were planning to use to get to that annual event, whose organizers announced that some of its activities, including a parade, a polar plunge and possibly some of the coffin races, would be postponed until Sunday.
About 500 flights were canceled at Denver International Airport on Saturday.
Larison said that since last September, Longmont's winter-season snowfalls, including Saturday's, have totaled 29.2 inches. Liquid precipitation from those snows, thus far this year, has totaled 1.14 inches.
Larison said the normal snowfall total from September to this point in March averages 34 inches, so although Longmont is still below that point, it's "getting close to normal." He said liquid precipitation from the first of the year through this point in March normally averages 1.26 inches, so Longmont is starting to get close to normal in that regard, as well.

The fall issue of the Connections journal has been sent out by the Quebec Family History Society located in Montreal.
There are many short articles in this issue, and they are –
The Farnsworth/Phaneuf Connections by Rene E. Peron in which the author writes about the connections between the two families going back 300 years.
Captives Carried to Canada During the French and Indian Wars by Dawn Miller Quellette in which she talks about the Farnsworth family as it is related in the book New England Captives Carried to Canada – 1677 – 1760 by author Emma Lewis Coleman.
Pilgrimage for Bert: Remembering the 1st Anti-Tank Regiment, 1st Canadian Divison by Shelia Snow Wilkins in which Wilkins writes about the trip she and her husband took to Sicily this past summer to visit the places where her father fought in the Second World War.
Filles du Roi: Brides of New France by Dawn Miller Ouellette writes about the young women who came to New France looking for a husband. One thing new I learned that if they did not find a suitable suitor in Quebec City, they would travel on to Three Rivers, and then to Montreal, if they did not find a man to marry.
Ouellette also has written an article on The Battle of Chateauguay (the cover has the photo of the painting of the battle) as it has been 200 years since the Canadians fought the Americans on the shores of the Chateauguay River in October 1813.

Nothing says "Hey look at me!" like driving a Lamborghini, but if you're going to rock one, how do you outdo other Lambo drivers' ostentatiousness? Cover yours in chrome, of course.
A chrome clad Lamborghini Gallardo (especially one with a BULRUN license plate) like this one is bound to be a head turner, and will certainly be a conversation starter, even if that conversation revolves around whether or not this car is cooler/lamer than Justin Bieber's Fisker Karma. Reddit users turned us on to this gem, and had a lot to say about it, mostly in the form of dissing it as over the top. But there were a few commenters who were more enthused about the car's finish.
Lambos are made to be in-your-face and over the top. Stop with all this "natural beauty" bullshit. The car looks fucking sick and every one of you would rock that all day.
The Justin Bieber conversation devolved into advanced Bieber hating. Apparently some readers felt that Bieber rakes in obscene amounts of tail for being such a talentless clown, and were disposed to think that women into the 18-year-old pop star were either lacking in mental faculties or very, very young. Hmmm...
But the brilliant shine of a fast car was enough to hold most people, as this comment from solidsnakem9 illustrates:
i dont care if that shit had a dumpster green paint finish, i will still drive a Lambo

R2R Initiative
Marine habitats and coastal wetlands are some of the most biodiverse on the planet. R2R aims to protect, demonstrate sustainable approaches, and provide better economic understanding of the links between salt and freshwater ecosystems.
Well managed coastal and estuarine ecosystems support livelihoods, income from fisheries and tourism. Wetland and marine environments (including coral reefs) are less vulnerable to damage when rivers are kept healthy. Coasts and river deltas support the economies of many of the largest cities in the world, and many more isolated countries such as small island nations.
Solutions to water pollution are found in coordinating the use and management of land and water from source to sea. By linking action and implementation in river basins and coasts, the aim is to support ecosystem services and improve riparian and coastal livelihoods.
Under IUCN Water, freshwater and marine water management will be improved through linking river systems and coastal areas together.
Demonstration approaches will be used in a number of sites including:
Latin America – improving watershed management practices and reducing sedimentation for downstream benefits in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras).
Oceania – demonstration of sustainable watershed management and development on Kadavu Island (Fiji), the Togitogiga watershed in Samoa, and improving watershed governance in the Nadi River Basin in Fiji.
Asia – development of approaches for urban river restoration to demonstrate how clean waters improve quality of life and health.

Ashley Carol-Fingerhut
Regional Alumni Chapter Leader
Chicago Chapter
Ashley Carol-Fingerhut's favorite part about growing up in Skokie, IL, was the thriving Jewish community. But when she visited Washington College during her senior year of high school, she wasn't deterred by the near-invisible Jewish population; she was determined.
"Judaism is important to me, and it was an important factor in deciding on a college," she said. "There seemed to be a lot of potential to strengthen the Hillel here. So I decided to take a leap of faith." As a freshman, Ashley served as the club's Social Chair and sought to increase the club's presence on campus with club advisors Ryan and Ruth Kelty. In her senior year, as President of Washington College Hillel, Ashley continued to cultivate a strong community of faith.
Today, Ashley is back home in Illinois, and continues to make an impact in her community by serving as a Co-Leader of the Chicago Regional Alumni Chapter of Washington College.
Campus Involvement
While she was a student, Ashley was involved in many campus activities:
- President of Washington College Hillel
- Trap and Skeet Club
- Young Democrats
- Philosophy Club
- Vice President of Communications for Alpha Omicron Pi.
- Student photographer for the College's website
- Consultant at the Multimedia Production Center
- Model United Nations
2011-2012 Roy Ans Fellow

Yes, now even in private moments you can enjoy the gentle melodies of holiday tunes, and imagine you're being bombarded with them in Wall-to-Wall-Mart. The more TP you use, the more it plays. So even if you're having explosive diarrhea you'll never run out of musical entertainment (as long as you don't run out of paper or batteries).
At present it is not available in Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus forms, or with music that can be played year round (such as the Mama's & Papa's "Go Where You Wanna Go").

'A House' in Copenhagen is the conversion of an old disused 1960s industrial building in the Copenhagen Harbour. The Danish Holgaard Arkitekter transformed it into a number of very attractive apartments, keeping its typical industrial character with cast concrete, cast floors and surfaces of granite.
Here is what the architects decribe:
"Outside the building has been given a thourough facelift. The old facade has been completely removed and replaced with a new and transparent glass facade, framed in bronze aluminum, giving the building its new character."
"The A-House offers a range of modern and attractive apartment types.
With a total dwelling count of approx. 200 and a shopping arcade with 10 shop units, the project can be considered as a small "town".
The A-House is modern dwelling arranged in an old industrial building. The conversion has led to increased attention towards open, recreational space and in that context the roof is constructed as a 4000 square meter landscape with hills, pastures and decking.
The landscape is classified as a tablecloth over seven hills, as each represents a penthouse.
A total of 13 stair towers invite all the house residents to stay in the open air with fine views over the city, port and the surrounding landscape of Copenhagen."
"During the development there has been great attention towards creating a house that presents a large range of resident types. Instead of developing a single housing type with a general appeal, the A-House contains a big variety of housing types, each of which are aimed at narrow segments of people. It has been the goal to create a complex housing environment where many different types of people and age groups, together can create a life in and around the building."

The Virgil Crest Ultras are 50K/50M/100M ultramarathons plus a 100M relay run over the hills and gorges surrounding Virgil, N.Y. The event uses Finger Lakes Trail sections spanning the Tuller Hill and Kennedy State Forests, and is paired with the signature terrain of Greek Peak Nordic and Alpine Resorts.
This year's races will begin at 6 a.m. on Saturday, September 19, 2015 with the 50 and 100 mile races. Their respective cut-off times are 16.5 and 36 hours with the 100 mile course closure at 6 pm on Sunday. The 100-mile relay will roll at 8 am on Saturday and have a 28 hour cutoff at 12 pm on Sunday. The Virgil Crest 50K flight takes off at 7 a.m. on Sunday, September 20, and ends with the 11 hour cut off in sequence with the 100M solo at 6 p.m.
Entry will open on March 21, and be limited to the first 150 qualified entrants in each of the solo events. The 100 Mile Relay will be open to only the first 30 teams.
The parallel courses (50K/50M/100M) use an out-back format that is repeated for the 100. Approximately 26/46/92 miles will be run over hilly trail, with 3/3/6 miles of dirt/gravel forest road and 2/2/4 miles of asphalt. Elevation gain and corresponding loss is roughly 8,000/12,000/24,000 feet. The hills are constant and the terrain technical at times. Respective cut-off times are 10 hours for the 50K, 16.5 hours for 50-mile, 36 hours for 100-mile and 28 hours for relay. Stocked aid stations average every 5 miles.

A partial federal government shutdown began Tuesday morning as a deadlocked Congress failed to reach an agreement on a short-term funding bill by a 12:01 a.m. ET deadline.
As national parks and other functions grind to a halt in the first government shutdown in 17 years, some members say it could last days or even weeks before a compromise is reached. NBC's Kelly O'Donnell reports
As the clock ticked down to midnight, House Republicans announced that they would try to shift decision-making to a bipartisan conference of lawmakers from both chambers, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid immediately rejected that plan.
"We will not go to conference with a gun to our head," he said.
The House requested the conference -- and it again approved its already-rejected short-term spending bill -- in votes after 1 a.m. ET before recessing for the evening.
The Senate will reconvene at 9:30 a.m. ET, and Reid promised to immediately table -- or kill -- the House conference plan first thing Tuesday morning.
House Republicans say they support the conference plan to find some middle ground between the Democratic-controlled Senate's "clean" government funding bill and the GOP-led House's proposal to delay a key part of Obamacare and nix health care subsidies for congressional staffers.
Government officials told agencies to begin executing plans for a shutdown -- the first in 17 years -- shortly before midnight Monday.
"I can't believe it will go for very long," Sen. Jeff Flake, R- Ariz., said on MSNBC's Morning Joe Tuesday morning. "I hope that today or tomorrow that we can open it back up."
Referring to his House Republican counterparts, he added that, "I think we all share the same goal, certainly to rein in spending and no Republican voted for Obamacare before. But it's no secret that I haven't agreed with the tactic or the strategy here. I just don't think that we should have used this vehicle," that is, the short-term spending bill.
The House and the Senate can't agree on a continuing resolution to fund the government.
Flake also said that for the GOP strategy to succeed the Democrats would need to fear a partial government shutdown, but in fact they welcomed it: "The Democrats knew that if there were to be a shutdown, that it would be Republicans who'd take the blame. So you're threatening to do something that the other side isn't very fearful of."
The shutdown will place tens of thousands of federal workers on unpaid furlough while forcing others to work without pay, close national parks and monuments, and disrupt services like food assistance and IRS audits.
Social Security, Medicare and other entitlement payments and national security operations will go on as usual, and -- because of a bipartisan measure passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the president late Monday -- members of the military will continue to be paid.
The new insurance "exchanges" mandated by the new health care law also went live even as the shutdown began.
Earlier Monday, the Senate twice rejected House-passed measures that would have delayed key provisions of Obamacare while funding the government for an additional few weeks.
Reid said on the Senate floor Monday that Republicans "have lost their minds" by repeatedly voting for "ridiculous policy riders" destined for failure in the Democratically-controlled Senate.
Speaking shortly before the first House vote Monday, House Speaker John Boehner said the measure to delay the mandate was about "fairness."
"I would say to the president: This is not about me," Boehner said. "This is not about Republicans here in Congress. It's about fairness for the American people."
The president spoke by phone Monday to Boehner as well as to other congressional leaders in both chambers, the White House said. His call to Boehner lasted about 10 minutes, an aide said.
The call came shortly after the president urged Republicans to pass a "clean" funding bill rather than tying an Obamacare-delaying provision to the legislation and accused GOP leaders of acting to "save face after making some impossible promises to the extreme right wing of their party."
"One faction of one party in one house of Congress in one branch of government doesn't get to shut down the entire government just to re-fight the results of an election," he said during a statement at the White House.
In an afternoon interview with NPR News, Obama reiterated that any funding measure that involves major changes to Obamacare is a non-starter.
Asked what he can 'offer' towards a compromise – especially once the debate shifts to the debt ceiling – Obama insisted he should not have to negotiate over the issue. "I shouldn't have to offer anything," he told host Steve Inskeep. "They're not doing me a favor by paying for things that they have already approved for the government to do. That's part of their basic function of government, that's not doing me a favor."

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have launched concrete initiatives to achieve more sustainable management of precious water resources in the Asia Pacific region.
IUCN stressed its commitment to establishing a network of people focussed on promoting and apply environmental flows in the Asia Pacific region. Environmental flows refer to water within a river, wetland or coastal zone which maintain ecosystems and their benefits where there are competing users.
IUCN Director General Julia Marton-Lefèvre stressed that in order to realise environmental flows there needs to be more integrated thinking to recognise the environment as a stakeholder in water-related decisions. She also called "for a balance in technical and institutional innovations for water resources management and work on practical solutions".
The FAO unveiled a joint initiative with the International Water Management Institute to re-invent irrigation and agricultural water governance in the Asia Pacific region to meet the Millennium Development Goals. Dr Changchui He, Assistant Director General and Regional Representative of FAO stressed that irrigated agriculture is the major water consumer and backbone of food security in the region, thus development and environmental targets will not be met if this sector does not adopt forward-looking strategies. He said: "Five hundred million people in the region are undernourished. Achieving food security with a rapidly growing population is an enormous challenge."
These commitments were launched at the Asia Pacific Water Summit, held in Beppu, Japan, as part of the high level session on Water for Development and Ecosystems.
Governments, NGOs, international and regional organizations present at the summit confirmed their commitment to moving forward with the necessary institutional reforms and technical innovations to ensure that water is managed in a way that provides both environmental and development benefits.
Participants stressed a sense of urgency in taking concrete action towards integrated thinking in which development enhances sustainability instead of threatening it. The session highlighted the need to invest in ecosystems as development infrastructure which must be maintained, restored, monitored and managed. The session also reiterated the dependence of the region on water for food security under further threat from climate change, on agriculture and irrigation as a key area for reform and investment to increase its productivity and social economic and environmental outcomes.
In her summary comments, Ms Margaret Catley-Carlson, the Chair of the Global Water Partnership, observed that the challenges to implementing recommendations remain formidable. The full range of difficult governance issues need to be addressed if further progress is to be made. The challenge will be implementing the policy recommendations of this summit which participants have committed to.

Happy New Year from all at Miniclip! To kick off 2014, here's our monthly update with all the latest on the games you should be playing this January. Grey, dreary January: the perfect month for gaming.
New games out now
As you may know, we ran our Best of 2013 poll at the end of November (won by 8 Ball Pool) – but then we went and released some other great games a few weeks later! One of them is quite breathtakingly brilliant – one of the best-looking Unity games we've ever seen, and a serious amount of fun. We're talking, of course, about the explosive space shooter Black Sun. If you've not played it yet… well… the link's right there, people.
If you're currently thinking "I don't quite feel like playing a game right now, but what I would like to do is watch a totally awesome trailer for the game you're talking about" then that's cool, we can roll with that. *ahem*
But enough about Black Sun (play it play it play it) – December also saw the release of wild west beat-em-up Saloon Brawl 2. In this sequel, your only weapons are your fists – but when you're this tough, what more do you need? Use your special attacks to keep those darn cowboys at bay, and stay light on your feet to beat down the big bosses. We also released Raft Wars 2 – a kooky little turn-based game where you have to try and knock your enemies into the water before they do the same to you. This game has a slightly odd sense of humour and proved very popular on Miniclip in December.
A game that proved even more popular in the Miniclip office last week was Ski Safari. Someone (mentioning no names *cough Big Rob cough*) managed to set a ridiculously high score in this game, which led to many of us trying to top it on our lunchbreak. Much penguin-skating and yeti-riding later, most of us were Ski Safari experts and had broken the 200,000 points barrier. For a little while there, all we could hear were the sounds of chirping penguins.
Can you top that score? One of our Twitter followers, XeroTheSage, posted an awesome 298,202… which one of our team has just gone past (330,290). Good luck on the ski slopes! Ride those yeti!
New games coming soon in 2014
Yup, we have some really cool new stuff coming out this year – in fact, two of them, Quantum Patrol and Western Front 1914, are out already. But you can check out a showcase of some of our forthcoming games in this video. Can't wait for Total Wreckage!
Motocross Nitro – a brand new update
We rocked out a massive update to Motocross Nitro a few weeks ago, including new vehicles (skimobiles! yay!), new tracks, and a ton of awards to win, leaderboards to top, and unlockables to… um… unlock. Grab your bike (or skimobile), switch out the colours, pick your number and your decals before hitting the slopes. Oh yes, you can customize your rider too, not to mention upgrade your ride with extra power, nitro and control. There is an absolute ton of new features to explore – plus, of course, the game is awesome. Don't miss out.
YouTube videos of our games
You've probably seen that there's a bit of a YouTube controversy going down at the moment, with lots of YouTubers being hit with copyright claims over the games that they've made videos of themselves playing. We know that lots of our players like making videos of themselves playing Miniclip games, so we wanted to clarify: Miniclip will never stop you from making videos of our games. We love watching those videos, and we've even featured some on our site and on our social pages.
On top of that, we're also very happy for users to make money from those videos in the form of YouTube adverts. Seriously! Check out our blog post on this for more info.
Miniclip hits 250m downloads
If you'll allow us a small moment of self-congratulation, we went past the landmark of a quarter of a billion downloads of our mobile titles a few weeks ago. Our top titles have been Rail Rush (34m downloads), iStunt (25m) and Fragger (24m) – thanks everyone for playing! You can read more about this achievement here. Achievement Unlocked!
Christmas Jumper Day
The Miniclip London office joined in with national Christmas Jumper Day to raise money for the charity, Save The Children – we've never seen such an impressive array of festive knitwear. A couple of the more… well, interesting jumpers even featured fairy lights. Truly it was a sight to behold. And behold it you may with this great picture.
Beat us at our own game
You may have seen this mentioned on our Facebook page, Google+ or Twitter, but we've been planning something fun with 8 Ball Pool. Yup, we're going to give you the chance to take us on at our own game in special 8 Ball events. Look out for more details very soon – and don't forget to follow us (if you're not already) to make sure you don't miss out.
That's all for this month – have a great, game-filled January!

|Working Group I: The Scientific Basis
|Other reports in this collection
6.2.2 Strengths and Limitations of the Forcing Concept
Radiative forcing continues to be a useful concept, providing a convenient first-order measure of the relative climatic importance of different agents (SAR; Shine and Forster, 1999). It is computationally much more efficient than a GCM calculation of the climate response to a specific forcing; the simplicity of the calculation allows for sophisticated, highly accurate radiation schemes, yielding accurate forcing estimates; the simplicity also allows for a relative ease in conducting model intercomparisons; it yields a first-order perspective that can then be used as a basis for more elaborate GCM investigations; it potentially bypasses the complex tasks of running and analysing equilibrium-response GCM integrations; it is useful for isolating errors and uncertainties due to radiative aspects of the problem.
In gauging the relative climatic significance of different forcings, an important question is whether they have similar climate sensitivities. As discussed in Section 6.2.1, while models indicate a reasonable similarity of climate sensitivities for spatially homogeneous forcings (e.g., CO2 changes, solar irradiance changes), it is not possible as yet to make a generalisation applicable to all the spatially inhomogeneous forcing types. In some cases, the climate sensitivity differs significantly from that for CO2 changes while, for some other cases, detailed studies have yet to be conducted. A related question is whether the linear additivity concept mentioned above can be extended to include all of the relevant forcings, such that the sum of the responses to the individual forcings yields the correct total climate response. As stated above, such tests have been conducted only for limited subsets of the relevant forcings.
Another important limitation of the concept is that there are parameters other than global mean surface temperature that need to be determined, and that are as important from a climate and societal impacts perspective; the forcing concept cannot provide estimates for such climate parameters as directly as for the global mean surface temperature response. There has been considerably less research on the relationship of the equilibrium response in such parameters as precipitation, ice extent, sea level, etc., to the imposed radiative forcing.
Although the radiative forcing concept was originally formulated for the global, annual mean climate system, over the past decade, it has been extended to smaller spatial domains (zonal mean), and smaller time-averaging periods (seasons) in order to deal with short-lived species that have a distinct geographical and seasonal character, e.g., aerosols and O3 (see also the SAR). The global, annual average forcing estimate for these species masks the inhomogeneity in the problem such that the anticipated global mean response (via Equation 6.1) may not be adequate for gauging the spatial pattern of the actual climate change. For these classes of radiative perturbations, it is incorrect to assume that the characteristics of the responses would be necessarily co-located with the forcing, or that the magnitudes would follow the forcing patterns exactly (e.g., Cox et al., 1995; Ramaswamy and Chen, 1997b).

Juice Cleanse Mania
Seems like there's a new juice cleanse company hitting the market every day 'round these parts, and I happen to be on my third day of one as we speak (using this local fave), but even if you don't want to commit to a full cleanse, adding fresh juices to your diet can have tons of benefits. That's why I love that today's fave is available (at Whole Foods, no less) by the single serving. Meet the beautiful juices of Suja:
Your typical juice company probably does some sort of apple and greens, and probably beet, but celery mint? Carrot apple turmeric? Suja's unique blends will shake up your taste buds and leave you lip-smackin'! They even have a "master cleanse" lemonade in case you want to do that cleanse but don't want the hassle of mixing up the tonic yourself. Be careful vegans, because some contain honey, but for the most part these bad boys are nothing but healthful vegan goodness, so go get juicing… and have a great weekend, everyone!

Republican Newt Gingrich praised Donald Trump as a "true American icon" today, and said he had persuaded the celebrity real estate mogul to mentor a group of children from New York City's poorest schools. Trump said he was impressed by the former House speaker's strong showing in the GOP presidential contest, but said he would refrain from endorsing a candidate until after he hosts a televised debate in Iowa a week before that state's caucuses.
Gingrich was making several stops in New York the same day his campaign debuted a new television ad in Iowa. He's hoping to capitalize on polls showing him leading top rival Mitt Romney nationally and in Iowa, which holds the first nominating contest January 3.
Gingrich met privately with Trump, who flirted with a bid for the Republican nomination last spring and has hosted many of the GOP contenders in the Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan.
Gingrich, who recently sparked controversy by suggesting disadvantaged children as young as 9 should be encouraged to clean their schools in order to learn about work, told reporters he had pressed Trump to help train needy youngsters.
The idea, Gingrich said, would be "to get them into the world of work, get them into the opportunity to earn money, to get them into the habit of showing up and realizing that effort is rewarded and America is all about the work ethic."
Trump, who hosts the reality show "Celebrity Apprentice," said he was happy to take up Gingrich's challenge.
"I thought it was a great idea," Trump said. "We're going to be picking 10 young wonderful children and make them 'apprenti.' We're going to have a little fun with it."
Gingrich said he was pleased to participate in the Trump-hosted debate and dismissed criticism from rival Ron Paul that such a forum demeaned the presidency.
"This is a country that elected a peanut farmer to the presidency. This is a country that elected an actor who made two movies with a chimpanzee to the presidency," Gingrich said, referring to Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. "Donald Trump is a great showman; he's also a great businessman. I think one of the differences between my party and the other party is we actually go to people who know how to create jobs. We need to be open to new ways of doing things."
Trump has hinted he might run for president as an Independent if Republicans nominate a candidate who can't beat President Barack Obama. Trump sidestepped questions about a potential run but said he believes Paul has "zero chance" of getting the nomination.

W.C. wrote:Crocodile Dundee - 9/10: Over the top, very Australian. Paul Hogan's from the older generation of Australian larrikins. He used to have a Australian comedy show back before he got into film (it's be difficult to locate, but these too are very well worth the watch). Very tongue in cheek, but an easy and fun watching experience.
The film follows the story of a journalist who comes from the States to write a story on a man who survived a crocodile attack. The journalist travels with Paul Hogan through to the scene of the incident, overcoming certain obstacles along the way.
[Spoiler] I particularly love the scene where Mick (Paul Hogan) kisses Donk instead of punching him to dislodge the beer from the top of his head. That, and the scene where Mick just shoves a massive knife through a crocodiles skull, to which the journalist still recovering from the shock of the incident asks shakily, '...is it dead?' In pure larrikin fashion, Mick replies, 'well if it's not, I'm gonna one hell of a time skinning the bastard.'

Very well made. One of those old movies that's bearable to watch, partly because it's an adaptation of King Lear, and the plot captivates you from the beginning, but also because the acting is solid, and the cinematography is incredible.
Zoot Allures wrote:I haven't been in a movie theater in over six years.. and I watched Sicario yesterday. You didn't see it coming until about half way... wow, what a plotline. Something I will now ruin for you. So Del Toro is basically a hitman for the big drug cartels out of Columbia who is working with/through the CIA to get at the head guy of one of the Mexican cartels. It's understood by the CIA and the major drug lords that the war on illegal drugs will never be won.. so the next best thing is maintain some kind of order and control over the industry. One Mexican cartel in particular is making too much noise so the Columbians send Del Toro to handle the cartel boss... not only that, but this cartel is also responsible for killing Del Toro's wife and daughter. So this one's personal.
Then they bring in Blunt who's an FBI agent and doesn't have a clue about what's really going on. Things escalate, they aren't telling her the truth.. she's gonna defect unless she gets some answers. No. You wouldn't understand Emily. There are things that must happen above and beyond the law. Nothing will make sense to your American ears, but in the end you'll understand.
Anthony Hopkins' rendition of Hannibal Lecter cannot be topped...ever. Hopkins' eyes dance mischievously as he processes information and are more penetrating when he asks questions. The version of Lecter that Brian Cox plays in Manhunter is flat, void of dimensions, common. I did enjoy Will Graham more than Clarice however.

I hope Kevin Levin will excuse me if I piggyback on him again so quickly. I wouldn't do it if he hadn't shared an article yesterday highly relevant to Civil War Emancipation. I will say, as an aside, that I fully intend to do the same thing in the future under similar circumstances, giving full credit to the source, of course. So I'm in Kevin's debt for sharing this article on Facebook.
What Kevin shared was Gordon Rhea's recent article in the Civil War Trust newsletter, entitled "Why Non-Slaveholding Southerners Fought." Rhea provides a highly cogent explanation of why non-slaveholding whites were willing to fight for Confederacy when they had no slave property to defend. Rather than summarize Gordon Rhea's article, I'll let him do so for himself which he does quite well.
The reasons that Southerners gave their fellow Southerners for Secession – from the pulpit, from their political and community leaders, in their reading material. There was much more – I haven't discussed newspapers yet — but the message was the same. Secession was required to preserve slavery. Why should non-slaveholders care? Because slavery was the will of God, and those who opposed the institution – the abolitionists – were by definition anti-God. More to the point, secession was necessary to preserve white supremacy, to avoid a race war, and to prevent racial amalgamation. For Southerners to remain in the Union, be they slave-owners or non-slave-owners, meant losing their property, their social standing, and the "sacred purity of our daughters." Tariffs appear nowhere in these sermons and speeches, and "states' rights" are mentioned only in the context of the rights of states to decide whether some of their inhabitants can own other humans. The central message was to play on the fear of African barbarians at the gate.
I heartily recommend everyone read the full article. To be candid, it isn't that Gordon Rhea is revealing anything particularly new, although he does so quite eloquently, but in the face of the stubborn challenge of the so-called "neo-Confederates" I find it particularly encouraging to read an author who describes himself as a "Southerner . . . and a descendant of former slave-owners" also to say "The Confederate States were established explicitly to preserve and expand the institution of slavery." And a few paragraphs later to state, "why should we celebrate a heritage grounded in hate, a heritage whose self-avowed reason for existence was the exploitation and debasement of a sizeable segment of its population?" At the risk of seeming patronizing and with the greatest respect, I sincerely join him in his hope "that we use the opportunity of the Sesquicentennial to open a frank and civil dialogue about what happened 150 years ago." Any honest and honorable scholar should hope for no less.

UH Manoa student works chosen for Hawaii International Film FestivalUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Academy for Creative Media
Eight student films from UH Mānoa's Academy for Creative Media have been selected for screening at the 2007 Louis Vuitton Hawaiʻi International Film Festival. The films will be shown Sunday, October 21 at 6:15 pm at the Regal Dole Cannery Theatres, the festival's main screening site.
"Our students have been invited by HIFF to screen their films in each of the four years of our existence," said Tom Brislin, ACM chair. "That's a critical recognition of the quality of our program and the extensive talents of our students. These films present authentic stories and images of Hawaiʻi, Asia and the Pacific that could only be told from a local perspective. That's why audiences love our student films."
The student films and filmmakers are:
· "Shin" (Truth) by Jennifer Tokunaga, follows a young girl who sees the suffering, and finally faces the responsibilities of her actions.
· "First Impressions" by Jeremiah Tayao, a comedy about a date where everything that could go wrong — does.
· "Home Again" by Joelle-Lyn Sarte, a story about a fashion model who realizes it's more important to be a role model.
· "Atonement" by Seong Whang, a tense drama set against a convenience store robbery.
· "The Monkeyboy Fever" by Dane Neves, a delightful horror spoof that will make you think twice about those stuffed animals around the house.
· "Matalasi" by Dana Ledoux Miller, a bittersweet exploration into rebuilding a lost relationship.
· "Hong Kong Layover" by Henry Mochida, a lyrical journey that blends cityscape and dreamscape.
· "My Brother's Keeper" by Russell Blanchard, a gritty drama of revenge and redemption.
The films are also entered in the Video On Demand Viewer's Choice Award, co-sponsored by HIFF and Time Warner Oceanic Cable on the NGN-On-Demand Channel 680. "First Impressions" and "Matalasi" will have their first screening at HIFF's Movies at the Museum preview screening October 5 on the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum lawn.
The Oct. 21 evening screenings will be preceded at 3 pm by a program of student films from Shanghai University, a partner with ACM in the pioneering international Student Media Art (SMART) Exchange.

EXIT POLL AND early returns today suggests candy tycoon Petro Poroshenko has claimed victory in the country's presidential election.
In taking on the leadership of the bitterly divided country, he vowed to "put an end to war, chaos, crime, and bring peace to the Ukrainian land."
The 48-year-old billionaire who supports strong ties with Europe but also wants to mend relations with Russia claimed victory after Sunday's vote, which took place amid weeks of fighting in eastern Ukraine where pro-Moscow separatists have seized government buildings and battled government troops.
The rebels had vowed to block the ballot in the east, and less than 20 percent of the polling stations were open there after gunmen intimidated local residents by smashing ballot boxes, shutting down polling centers and issuing threats.
But nationwide, about 60 percent of 35.5 million eligible voters turned out, the central elections commission said, and long lines snaked around polling stations in the capital, Kiev.
With votes from about 30 percent of precincts counted early today, Poroshenko is leading with 54 percent in the field of 21 candidates. Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was running a distant second with 13 percent.
Both results were in line with exit polls, which showed Poroshenko with nearly 56 percent and Tymoshenko with 13 percent. If that margin holds, Poroshenko would avoid a runoff election next month with the second-place finisher.
Viewing the exit polls as definitive evidence of victory, Poroshenko said his first steps as president would be to visit the Donbass eastern industrial region, home to Ukraine's coal mines. He also promised a dialogue with residents of eastern Ukraine and said he was ready to extend amnesty to those who did not commit any crimes.

Using young children as cheap propaganda props, President Obama unveiled his deeply controversial anti-gun proposals on Wednesday amid a series of false claims about having public opinion on his side. Among the most extreme, aside from some two dozen executive decrees he signed, was the announcement that the administration would push for an even more draconian so-called "Assault Weapons Ban" purporting to criminalize popular semi-automatic firearms. Restrictions on magazine capacity as well as mandatory "universal background checks" that could obliterate gun shows and private firearm sales are also at the top of the agenda.
Analysts on all sides of the issue said the package was the most aggressive assault on the Second Amendment in decades. However, with resistance building nationwide — state governments, sheriffs, police chiefs, and more are all vowing to protect gun rights in their jurisdictions — Obama's attack may end up falling flat. The GOP-controlled House of Representatives is unlikely to budge, at this point at least. And in the Senate, RINOs and even some Democrats have already spoken out against the administration's unconstitutional schemes. At least two Republican congressmen are now openly talking about impeachment.
Ironically, perhaps, Obama acknowledged the fact that rights are endowed by the Creator and cannot be legitimately removed by governments, as the Founding Fathers observed in the Declaration of Independence. However, he said it even while openly detailing assorted unconstitutional plots to infringe on Americans' unalienable right to keep and bear arms, dismissing fears of tyrannical government and attacking the sincerity of his political opponents. He also implied that the Second Amendment was responsible for violations of other rights, such as the right to life.
The president claimed, falsely according to recent polls, that most of the public supports his controversial schemes — not that majority opinion would justify unconstitutional violations of the people's rights. Acknowledging that much of his assault on gun rights would be hard to get through Congress, however, Obama vowed to use "whatever weight this office holds" to ram it through anyway — perhaps ObamaCare style, where Democrat lawmakers simply ignored the Constitution and defied public opinion.
While his own daughters have heavily armed, taxpayer-funded Secret Service protection, Obama urged the American people to join his crusade to further restrict the Second Amendment for civilians under the guise of protecting children. The president and anti-gun politicians in Washington, of course, will continue to be protected by heavily armed forces carrying large-capacity magazines and fully automatic weapons that are already virtually impossible to get for average citizens.
The people, however, must make do with less firepower, according to Obama. A propaganda pamphlet outlining the president's plan posted on the White House website insists that it is all "to protect our children" — assuming, of course, that they are already born and do not live in one of the myriad countries suffering from his non-stop mass-murdering drone attacks.
"This is our first task as a society — keeping our children safe. This is how we will be judged. And their voices should compel us to change," Obama claimed as the cameras moved between children and parents standing in the room, relying on a popular but deceptive argument historically exploited by those pushing dangerous or unpopular ideas — protecting kids. "I will put everything I've got into this … but the only way we can change is if the American people demand it."
At the top of the president's list is making sure that Americans who wish to buy or sell firearms — even in private sales at gun shows or transfers among friends — must jump through hoops and navigate D.C. red tape to perform full federal background checks. While criminals almost always buy their guns on the black market anyway, Obama's plan says mandating universal background checks is "the single most important thing we can do to prevent gun violence."
Aside from the inherent problems with asking permission to exercise an unalienable right and the bureaucratic nightmare such a scheme would create — not to mention the costs and the risk of criminalizing otherwise innocent people — critics worry that the federal government will use the data to keep an unlawful firearm registry that would eventually be used for confiscation. Gun shows, as they exist today, would essentially become history. Even if Congress refuses to adopt the scheme, Obama is ordering the ATF to prod people into doing it anyway.
Using "executive orders," the president is also beefing up the background-check system, ordering state governments to turn over more information on citizens to be placed in a central database. Private healthcare records, for example, which many people assumed were protected by law, will be among the data vacuumed up by the federal government under Obama's plan. Also included in the "executive action" package are improved "incentives" to state governments in an effort to gather more information about citizens for federal databases.
Incredibly, disgraced Attorney General Eric Holder, who was caught trafficking guns to Mexican drug cartels under "Fast and Furious," will be charged with reviewing rules purporting to determine which Americans may own guns. The Justice Department chief, of course, was caught on video in 1995 proposing a tax-funded campaign to, in his words, "brainwash" the American people against guns. Official e-mails from Fast and Furious also revealed that bloodshed resulting from the administration's gun-running plot, which was uncovered thanks to brave whistleblowers, would be used to advance more infringements on gun rights.
Obama's plan would also seek to ban what he calls "military-style assault weapons" and "high-capacity magazines," propaganda terms used by the president and other anti-gun zealots to demonize popular semi-automatic weapons and standard-capacity magazines owned by millions of law-abiding Americans. The scheme would criminalize possession or transfer of armor-piercing ammunition for civilians, too, so if criminals wear bullet proof vests, they will have little to fear from their prey — even if the victims are armed. Sen. Diane Feinstein's (D-Calif.) ban legislation would unconstitutionally require national gun registration complete with fingerprints, historically a precursor to confiscation.
The administration is demanding that Congress appropriate $4 billion for police as well, noting that economic problems have resulted in decreased funding at the state and local level. The proposal would essentially confiscate more money from taxpayers or borrow the funds from others, route it through Washington, then hand it back out with strings attached to local law enforcement, which is supposed to be independent of the federal government and accountable to the community — not Obama. State and local law enforcement have been some of the fiercest centers of resistance to federal attacks on gun rights. More federal funding for schools is also being sought to deal with "gun violence."
In all, the president offered a total of 23 "executive orders" dealing with everything from "mental health" to mandating more tax-funded "research" on "gun violence." One of the orders that has received quite a bit of media attention declares that the deeply unpopular ObamaCare statute allows doctors to interrogate their patients about whether or not they have guns at home — and to report their findings to the government despite doctor-patient confidentiality.
Predictably, much of the slavishly pro-Obama establishment media, already widely mistrusted among Americans in part because of the shameless attacks on gun rights masquerading as "news," jumped aboard the presidential anti-gun bandwagon. Over the last month, much of the press has been using emotional appeals and outright falsehoods to push gun control, but activists say the establishment talking heads are mostly talking to themselves and that politicians who support further infringements will suffer the consequences at the ballot box.
Billionaire George Soros-funded groups like MoveOn.org are also in full attack mode, deploying paid "community organizers" and propaganda blitzes to help push Obama's radical anti-gun agenda. "We have to go big," the far-left outfit said in an e-mail to supporters celebrating "the most aggressive and expansive national gun-control agenda in generations." The administration has already vowed to try to get as much "public pressure" behind its agenda as possible while fracturing the opposition, so analysts say this is likely just the beginning of that anti-liberty assault.
Gun rights activists, however, are standing firm, saying Congress must reject any and all gun control. Groups like the National Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, and others are all united against the proposed schemes, and lawmakers are already considering action to block the lawless executive orders. Second Amendment advocates and opponents both argue that all of the pieces of the agenda are simply part of an incremental attack on gun rights eventually aiming to fully disarm all Americans.
"This is a game the anti-gun zealots have played before: They threaten to kill the Second Amendment, and then negotiate their way back to 'merely' eviscerating it," Gun Owners of America said in an e-mail to supporters asking them to contact their elected officials. "The only way that America's gun owners are going to have peace over the next decade is to stop all gun control — as we did after Columbine — and then defeat compromising legislators running for reelection in 2014."
While prospects for passage in Congress at the moment appear slim, according to analysts, supporters of the Second Amendment are urging concerned citizens to flood their representatives with calls and letters demanding that they obey their oath of office. Obama has big plans and big money to ram his agenda down the American people's throats, so if the right to keep and bear arms is to survive, activists say the time to get involved is now.

Field Service 1
After running a Field Service company for 10 years, I sold the company and went full time into the development of an application that is desperately needed by an industry with many more problems than solutions. After 10 years of research, 7 Years of design and development and 14 months of programming and we are nearly there. Early in 2010 we will launch an all-in-one Field Service Software that covers every aspect of running successful a field service business. From Dispatch, Accounting, Custom Reports, Custom Forms, Time Clock, Payroll, Emailing & Faxing this application has it all. (For a complete feature list you can view the the pdf at http://www.fieldservicesoft.com/com…ntlist.pdf )
What makes this product so special is it's ability to do everything without the need of additional software (Ex. QuickBooks for Accounting/ Outlook for Emailing) This is what will set this product far above all of the others. As an industry veteran, I have been able to take all of the every day issues with running a business in this field and turn it into amazing solutions that will take this market by surprise.
The winning logo will not only be used throughout the application, but on our Website, all promotional material and print advertising. No website or domain has been chosen yet, however the product name will be "Field Service 1"
Our target audience will be Male age 25 - 50. They will generally be owners or managers of the following types of service companies: Handyman, Plumbing, Electrical, Maintenance, Painting, Pool Cleaning and many others. For a complete list of Customer types see: http://www.fieldservicesoft.com/Cus…rTypes.pdf
These types of people are generally not technical people as they are more hands on. They know they need help with their business but software is often unfamiliar with them. Many will have experience with QuickBooks only, however they are now looking for something more.
I would like to have a logo that demonstrates this products All-In-One capability. For the most part you are free to be creative, however I would stay away from logos of tool boxes, tools, or any industry type of cheesy repair logos. This will be a top of the line software, so we need a logo that will demonstrate that.
I like male oriented colors like shades of blue, gray and metallic colors, and possibly dark greens and maroon. Deep and rich colors with help demonstrate the strength of this product. 3D images are fine, but not required. Feel free to include the name "Field Service 1" name within the logo. A Clean, Simple, & Strong/ Bold logo should be designed.
Also we have a tag line that can be used, but it is not required. "One Software - Infinite Solutions"
Good Luck and thank you very much.
