Skip to comments.Yes, Fellow Bubbas, Theyre Coming for Your Guns
Posted on 01/27/2013 9:05:33 AM PST by EXCH54FE
In the ongoing fevered debate over gun control legislation, registration of firearms is a key flashpoint. Progressives insist that nothing could be more reasonable and benign than simply requiring every firearm and firearm owner to be registered with some government entity. Thus, bad guys could be screened out and guns used in crimes could be traced to help catch the criminals. They denounce as paranoid, delusional nonsense the concerns of gun owners that registration would lead to eventual confiscation.
In a Fact Check at Time.com intended to dismiss The Gun Registry Red Herring, Michael Scherer notes that President Obamas Now Is The Time gun plan issued on January 16 does not call for a federal gun registry. However, the Time piece does acknowledge that in a 2001 interview Obama, then a state senator, stated: Ill continue to be in favor of handgun law registration requirements and licensing requirements for training.
It is reasonable to believe that President Obama still holds to those views and is, at this point, taking a slower, more pragmatic, step-by-step approach to get momentum going in the direction of more expansive firearms restrictions.
Leaving that reasonable speculation aside, however, it is clear that gun rights advocates are far from delusional in suspecting that gun registration might be used to actually confiscate firearms that had previously been deemed legal. First of all, there is the historical record in one country after another. In the past century alone, fascist and communist regimes have used gun registration (oftentimes enacted by previous democratic governments) to identify gun owners and implement confiscation. In Canada, Australia, and many countries of Europe, gun registration has led to confiscation in recent years. It is happening here in the United States with state laws, as the recently passed legislation in New York State demonstrates.
(Excerpt) Read more at thenewamerican.com ...
All semantics about Gun Control versus its new brother, Gun Violence aside, nearly every one of these political proponents who are espousing common sense Gun Violence action have at one time or another in their miserable, pitiful, evil political careers have whispered "take all the guns" to those selected few supporters at one time or another.
The purpose of registration is not gun confiscation. The purpose is to have ready a list of of potential troublemakers once the left decides to go all the way in pushing its Marxist agenda.
Earlier this month, Geraldo asked a caller: How could you not trust your own government?
Putting aside big and little episodes of trustworthy government in the history of this country like the Trail of Tears, the interment of Americans of Japanese decent, Kent State, Waco, Fast and Furious and the Bengzai Coverup, I seem to recall Geraldo himself complaining about how the US has treated his native Puerto Rico. But his question diverts our attention. The issue isn't the relative peace at this instant. The issue is the very nature of government itself.
History is full of governments that ran sufficiently amok as to have become a mortal danger to their own citizens. Indeed, the last centry was so full of episodes of government murdering their own citizens by deliberate official policy that it spawned a new word: democide.
Many in the media who reject American Exceptionaism want us to believe instead that the only exceptionalism left in America is to be found in her government. In how easy they dismiss the Second Amendment as being obsolete, they are telling us that there are no circumstances whatsoever in that some future government could ever run amok. They are willing to stake the lives of their children and grandchildren on that assertion.
Certainly people want to have a trustworthy government. But it concerns me that more than one member of the President's inner circle has publicly praised China's Mao, a man responsible for the brutal deaths of over 40 million Chinese citizens. [1,2] I am shocked that a close advisor to the president has favorably quoted Mao's warning that [political] power comes from the barrel of a gun. [3] It is chilling to see a Mao-themed ornament on a White House Christmas tree, or the number of people who support this administration who also voice approval of the murderous Che Guevara [4,5] It is incongruous that a man who was a leader of a group that contemplated the necessity of murdering 25 million Americans who might reject political reeducation after this group took over the country is now a frequent visitor to the White House. [6,7]
Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security is busy building up a stockpile of two billion rounds of hollow point pistol ammunition. [8] The very government that Geraldo implies we must trust is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to address a contingency that cannot be explained by current trends. The shocking implication is not who does DHS intent to shoot, but why. Even if this plan devoted 100 rounds to each of these anticipated targets, two billion rounds implies a contingency involving armed action against 20 million people. How many in government anticipate the need to kill 20 million people out of a population of 310 million? Is this the same 20 or so million the Weather Underground anticipated needing to eliminate?
How should I evaluate these facts? As disconnected random coincidences or as a glimpse of the plans of those in power and those who cheer them on?
Last year in Missouri and Minnesota alone, about a million people bought licenses to harvest deer with high powered rifles. About one million Pennsylvanians hunt deer with firearms. Nationally, there are far more deer hunters than government employees of any kind. There are one million Floridians licensed to carry concealed firearms. As long as the relationship between public servants and the public they serve is healthy, then we all can enjoy the blessings of liberty, which was the core reason we formed the federal government in the first place.
But what happens when the public servant thinks he is the public master instead?
Nobody can predict how a future government might endanger our own descendants by running amok. For example, what social, political or legal forces exist today that would stop another Trail of Tears that were not sufficient to stop it the first time? Certainly firearms aren't the answer to every outrage, or even most. Even though we are all civilized, and strive to be peaceful and polite to everyone, I cannot allow the precious right to keep and bear arms to end with my generation. My future grand children might curse me for neglecting to preserve the very tool they might need most during some urgent crisis in their lives, even though no learned member of the news media could possibly envision such a thing at this moment.
I recall a time when the finest, award winning journalists of their time, like the New York Time's own Walter Duranty, could not bring themselves to report that Stalin was deliberately starving millions of Ukrainian farmers to death as an act of government policy. Did Duranty and the Times choose to lie because they believed they were serving a higher cause at the time? Is this like when members of today's media lie about firearms because they are serving a higher cause today? And when some future government they support runs amok and thousands (or millions) die because they have run out of ways to resist, how will the media report it? Like they glowingly talk about the exploits of Che Guevara or Bill Ayers, who they tell us is just a neighbor of the current President?

Question to any who think that registration will not lead to confiscation: How come politicians are exempt?
Not one could pass a background check. Between the drugs, pedophilia, criminal use of office, etc. most of them belong in jail and the rest put on a deserted island.
Yeah, I really do trust the gvernment./s
Actually, no. Ubama's "views" start out as benign lies for the purpose of getting elected and then "evolve" to suit his true political agenda. Like homo "marriage" for example. This foul piece of sh** Ubama wants complete confiscation of all guns, make no mistake about it. He just can't say it yet.
i sold my guns. really i did
I've been a multiple gun owner for decades. I just do not agree. Will the try and regulate the H*** out of them? Absolutely. Come for them? Well . . . again, I just don't agree.
Excellent article, EXCH54FE.
Thanks very much.
Sir, I am with you and I still have only one thing to say:
I believe you're correct. Coming for them would be stupid.
It's much more likely that they will make them illegal and then prosecute gun owners (new criminals) as they wish.
Once everyone is a criminal they can do whatever they want, justified by the law.
Gun Registration is Gun Confiscation
I heard that show. Mike Huckabee was on a little later and when Gerald asked him the same question he totally turned the tables on him. He came back with something like "actually I'm wondering why this government doesn't trust the people."
You are very Welcome.
"If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." Thomas Jefferson
When they come for the Fudd guns, they won't call them "hunting" or "sporting" rifles. They'll call them "armor peircing" "sniper" rilfes who's only purpose is to kill.
They won't call them "birding" or "trap" guns, they call them "street sweepers" and "scatter guns" with more power than anyone needs to shoot a duck...
Ask a Branch Davidian about "trusting" the government.
"Progressives insist that nothing could be more reasonable and benign than simply requiring every firearm and firearm owner to be registered with some government entity."
Registration? "Progressives," I got your answer right here:
Hold one hand out in front of you and wish, and cup one behind you and see which gets filled fastest.
You don't frighten us, pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called "progressives" you and all your silly left peoples.
Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of silly persons! I unplug my nose my nose redux at you! Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
Ha ha, ho ho.
Beltway Overlords: The invitation remains open. We won't bring them to you, but you are welcome to (try to) come and get them.
In putting forth something for liberals to answer, I want to use the issues that liberal themselves have used in the past. Waco does not count with them because it was a "cult" and cults are weird and icky and well anything we can do go get rid of cults is OK. But how the government got rid of Native Americans was a different matter entirely, at least to liberals.
Ask the American indian.
Regulate and ban firearms + registration + confiscation. Add in incremental small amounts to prevent a catastrophic explosive reaction. Make a harsh example out of the few hardliners through demonizing, isolating and targeting. Make government "entitlements" dependent on all of the above. End state: Turn citizens into subjects slaved to the state.
The retention of freedom and liberty requires constant vigilance.
Sounds like the Earl Turner era!
It's much more likely that they will make them illegal and then prosecute gun owners (new criminals) as they wish.
Once everyone is a criminal they can do whatever they want, justified by the law.
The problem is, if one is going to be in for a penny, so to speak, what prevents them being from being in for a pound? If I'm going down for just owning one, I might as well use it for its intended purpose.
The "Good Germans", (AKA Liberals) in today's America would have no problem reporting their Gun Owning Neighbors to the proper Authorities, of that I have no doubt.
BTW - Yesterday I was talking to a couple of typical "pay no attention" Americans about the Gun Grabber Obama. They said, you don't really think Obama wants to take your guns, do you? We get it, but it is obvious many others don't.
***... How could you not trust your own government?***
Perhaps this is why.
And to think, in 1962 Thomas J Dodd and Emaual Cellar proposed the first federal law on common firearms.
1962; We dont want to take away your guns, we ONLY want to register handguns! Rifles and shotguns will not be affected.
1964: We only want to register all your guns, not ban them! Only Army surplus guns will be banned.
1968: We only want to register your guns, and ban Saturday Night Specials and small foreign handguns along with army surplus rifles! (They got the ban on 5 shot army surplus rifles and handguns and small foreign pistols)
1970: We only want to ban Saturday night specials! large handguns and rifles will not be affected! There was also a call at this time to ban all private possession of ALL GUNS.
1976: We only want to ban all handguns! Long guns will not be affected!
1981: The NRA should give up their handguns, and they can keep their rifles!- Lee Grant on GMA
1984: We must ban assault Rifles, unsuitable or hunting!
1989: George Bush bans import of foreign made assault rifles".
1992: Assault rifle ban passed by Clinton.
2000: first calls to ban single shot .50 cal rifles...
I have one OB butt kisser at work who keeps saying, "They have to do something".
Dumb @ss says that most criminals run at the sight of a gun so you don't need large mags. I countered with what if the don't run, then what? I also pointed out that a lot of people can soak up rounds and still are able to do damage to you.
The Woman who put five .38 Slugs into the Thug a few weeks ago proves the point. Luckily for her and her Children, he was the only intruder.
The guy walked out of the house. I guess he didn't know if the Woman was reloading and thought it best to leave. Thus proving that the only response is an Armed Response.
Next question to the Obama lover, who is THEY? If History serves, the THEY that disarmed the Citizens of their respective Countries were either Fascists, Communists or Nazis. Which group does your Coworker identify with?
In a sense I'd say they're right. He's probably not going to literally take our guns away. But that's only because he knows the political conditions aren't right for it. He understands incrementalism. What he actually is going to do is everything in his power to move things in that direction, to lay the foundation for much stricter controls and possibly even confiscation later. Unfortunately this is a subtler point that probably won't register with the pay no attention types.
And Japanese-Americans.
I avoid talking to him except for business. I mostly listen to him talk to his other OB worshipers. I think its a mental disorder because not much of what they say makes any sense to me.
People are paying attention. The local gun stores have been packed since the election. The only ones with their heads in the sand are truly stupid.
I know two sets of people. One set is stocking up supplies and setting up their bug out locations and the other group is saying things are OK and they are buying houses.
It isn't the government's business to know how many guns I have any more than it is for them to know how many lawn sprinklers I have.
Unless ended (like we did up her in Canuckistan),
Registration ALWAYS
leads to CONFISCATION!
Work that into a chant, and let the fools KNOW!
Some wild dogs stole my guns. Yeah, they clawed their way into my house and took off with them. Filthy mutts.
That is one of the all time best posts that I have seen in a long time.
When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer "Present" or "Not guilty." Theodore Roosevelt
Gun grabbers always start speaking like this:
"First of all I want everybody in this room to know that I am a gun owner and I hunt, however...."
Obama's daughters can go to school without needing armed guards and many famous people will no longer require armed guards as well.
Not in Texas or Montana. But in some states, yes. We shall see.

Reimer's Reactions
JP Nikota
October 27 2011 10:51PM
This is an article about James Reimer's post-goal body language.
Before I begin, I should point out that this post comes with a number of caveats. First, I should point out that I am making no guesses about what goes on in Reimer's head. I don't know if he's feeling confident or not, or what else he might think about after being scored on. The second point I should be clear on is that I recognize that we're really discussing minutiae here, so let's just keep this in context. Reimer has had a good start to the season.
The main reason I think a post like this is still worthwhile is that the venerable Justin Goldman (of The Goalie Guild) wrote so often last season of James Reimer's fantastic body language. Here's an exerpt from an interview with Goldman in an article by James Mirtle at the Globe and Mail:
"But when Reimer has suffered a loss or given up a bad goal, he has not allowed that to kill or weaken his confidence. His ability to "bounce back" has been very impressive as well. He has only lost two games in a row once this season, and I think that ability to shake off a bad game (or a bad goal) has been a major reason why he continues to play so well. On top of this, he has a very positive attitude and a very strong work ethic. He's composed, even-keeled and he rarely displays negative body language. Those are all key traits you want a rookie can display; they are all signs of strong mental toughness. So if something goes wrong or he has a bad outing, he has the work ethic and confidence to overcome it"
In the pre-season, I noted that Reimer appeared frustrated by a few goals, and I wondered on Twitter whether his attitude had changed from last season to now. Goldman replied that maintaining an appropriate level of confidence is one of Reimer's biggest challenges this year, and that it will be very difficult to remain positive in the light of last season's (overall) success. Below, is a paragraph from his 2011-12 preview for James Reimer, as posted on MLHS :
"Not only are their expectations to manage and live up to, but those expectations come from all over. He expects to play at the same level, as did his coaches, teammates and fans. Those expectations will continue to climb higher and higher as time goes on, which is just part of the territory that comes along with wearing a Maple Leafs uniform."
So how has he done so far this season? Are there any noticeable trends in his post-goal reactions?
After looking at each of his goals against this season - OK, so there are only 14 GA in 6 GP, but who's complaining about that? - I'd say that the only noticeable reaction is that he takes a little longer to stand up, and occasionally remains temporarily frozen in the position he was scored on. Take, for example, this image:
This was a bit of a soft goal against Colorado. The puck just managed to find its way between Reimer's arm and his body. It was a from a good distance out, and we can see that Reimer doesn't look happy about it, but there is no stick-bashing, no shouting his defenders, or anything remotely noteworthy except for a slumped, staring-at-the-ice position. Reimer remained almost motionless after being scored on for a few seconds, and then stood up, ready to go.
There were two other goals like this one in the Colorado game, one being pictured at the top of this article.
Here is another example of a similar reaction:
Reimer allowed a rebound on the play (a power play, as you can see from the TSN info), and the rookie Mark Schieffle managed to notch his first career goal. This was not a terrible goal for Reimer, as there was no defender picking up the man or clearing the rebound for him, but again, Reimer stares at the ice, frozen for just a few seconds.
Now Let's Not Get Crazy
James Reimer's confidence is something that we can't measure, or even observe very accurately. But most people would agree that body language is something worth keeping tabs on, especially for a position such as goaltending, where confidence is so important.
So far, the vast majority of Reimer's reactions look good. He gets up, shakes off the goal, and, as far as we can tell, he maintains his focus.
Keeping tabs on his body language as the season progresses, however, may reveal more, but we'll have to wait and see.
This will also serve as an interesting comparison when we look at Jonas Gustavsson's body language shortly. Stay tuned.

I love discussing hockey minutiae
"It was a from a good distance out, and we can see that Reimer doesn't look happy about it, but there is no stick-bashing, no shouting his defenders, or anything remotely noteworthy except for a slumped, staring-at-the-ice position."
That's it. It's like he takes a second to vent, say "darn" to himself, then he pops back up. Re-grouped and ready to go. I think it's important for goalies to take a moment to self-reflect on the goal and swear under their breath (or whatever). As long as it's a "moment" and not an over-reaction (stick smashing, etc... Hate that stuff).
Good work.

50 overs should see a result.
40 will be tough.
Hope the over rates aren't silly.
do you think people will be allowed to make violins?
who's going to make the violins?
forever 63*
7 wickets to get...Should be able to do it in 25-30 overs, if all three hit their strides. If a pace attack of Steyn-Philander-Morkel can't kill them here, it would most likely be due to quality batting rather than mediocre bowling.
Plus, the legspinner bowling against the tail can always make quick strikes. Ponting's wicket could prove to be the body blow for Australia!
Hope to get a result today, I've got a feeling this could go right down to the wire.
Would love to see Ponting and Clarke put on a massive partnership.
If rain stays out, 50 overs are more likely...depends on light as well!

Can someone please steer me in the right direction?
I'm trying to make a robot that can keep up with a person who is running. Will an IR Sensors/Ultrasonic sensors be able to do that?
I would think RF Signals would be the way to go
I understand the scope of my goal. I have about 5/6's of a year to complete it.
Does that mean there are no books pertaining to the specific manipulation of RF signals to have a robot follow a transmitter?

They're crazy about the Cardinals
This season, espnW will take a journey across America, bringing you an in-depth look at 16 women's college basketball programs -- our Sweet 16. We'll begin the first week of the season and conclude just before the conference tournaments. We'll visit powerhouse schools and those off the beaten path, programs that are emerging and those that were there from the beginning. At the end of these 16 weeks, we hope you'll have a true flavor of Hoops Across America.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The player the home fans came to see sprints downs the court, ball in hand, during the opening minute of Louisville's game against Big East rival Connecticut. Calmly, almost casually, the point guard freezes retreating defenders with a no-look pass that lands in the hands of a teammate waiting open at the basket.
Energized by the same showmanship that left the defense on its heels, most of the 16,483 fans rise to their feet. Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson is standing by his front-row seat and leading the cheers.
It's a scene that has played out in one form or another hundreds of times in this city, a place that ranks near the top of any list of the most basketball-mad major American cities without an NBA team.
The guard in this case was Shoni Schimmel, the newest star of the Louisville women's basketball team, but it hardly seems to matter. Cardinals are Cardinals.
Humble beginnings
There's a mini-museum dedicated to University of Louisville basketball in the atrium of the KFC Yum! Center, the stunning, gleaming 22,000-seat downtown arena opened in 2010 that resides a long rebound away from the Ohio River. Much of what is on display in the Hall of Honor relates to the history of men's basketball at Louisville, as might be expected of a program with two national championships, eight Final Four appearances and legendary names from Wes Unseld nearly 50 years ago to Rick Pitino today. But there's a hint of things to come in one of the first items a visitor sees, a mention of William Gardiner, the first men's basketball coach in school history, that notes he already was coaching a women's team at Louisville when he started coaching the nascent men's team in 1911.
Wind around the displays, past the life-size picture of former Louisville All-American and current WNBA star Angel McCoughtry that resides alongside similar photos of Unseld and Pervis Ellison, and you come to a section of the exhibit dedicated to women's basketball. A club team as early as 1908, Louisville women's basketball played its first official game in 1910, a year before the men, then struggled to maintain funding and schedule games until it was finally eliminated altogether in 1934, not to be revived until the dawn of the Title IX era in 1975.
In one of the final display cases there is a quote attributed to an anonymous women's player in 1909.
"There'll come a time some day when the U of L will have a team to be very proud of and the Red and Black banner will wave triumphant."
For the newest superpower in women's college basketball, one that rose from the obscurity of playing games in a high school gym little more than 20 years ago to now challenging Tennessee for the national attendance lead for the second year in a row, making that prediction a prophecy was a long time coming. What seemingly sprang to life almost overnight is instead the work of generations.
"It's crazy; I don't know how to really explain it," junior guard Tia Gibbs said of home games at the Yum! Center, where the team averages 10,473 fans a contest this season, second only to Tennessee's 13,038. "But even from the very first game I played here -- we played Tennessee and it was a sellout here -- and literally seeing 22,000 people in the stands watching you. We're kind of used to seeing that for a men's game, but for a girls' game it's unbelievable. It makes you want to do even better for the crowd; all these people came out to see you play basketball, to see Louisville basketball, so we try to represent our name even more. ...
"We're very fortunate, and we understand that very well. We try to put on a show."
It wasn't always that way for the women's team, even after the program was resuscitated from its four-decade hibernation. For that matter, it wasn't that way recently, as Gibbs can attest. A Louisville native who returned home after one season at Vanderbilt, she grew up going to just about every Cardinals home game. But not all of those were at Freedom Hall, the famed arena home to men's basketball until the Yum! Center opened. As recently as the 1989-90 season, the women played some of their home games at a local high school, and many of the games Gibbs attended were at Cardinal Arena, the much smaller on-campus companion to Freedom Hall.
Another Louisville native, senior Monique Reid, similarly grew up going to just about every game, often serving as the ball girl and hoping for high fives from stars such as Sara Nord. Louisville was consistently competitive under coaches Bud Childers, Martin Clapp and Tom Collen, making the NCAA tournament six times between 1993 and 2001, but it's safe to say prime seating in those days wasn't reserved for state officials.
"I always joke around that when I came, everybody sat in the front row," Reid said.
Playing on the big stage
Athletic director Tom Jurich, a field hockey dad with two daughters playing that sport for the Cardinals, is more familiarly known as the man who steered Louisville to the Big East, brought Pitino to town and presided over the move to the Yum! Center, a facility that allowed the Cardinals to rank third in men's basketball attendance last season, in addition to second in women's. But one of his first accomplishments after taking the job in 1997 -- one on which more than a few critics bestowed other labels -- was to move women's basketball into Freedom Hall on what soon became a permanent basis alongside the men's team.
When the time came to move Pitino's team to the Yum! Center, it was only with the understanding that it was a package deal. Each team has its own training room, locker room, players' lounge and coaching offices on-site.
"To me, it's all about opportunity," Jurich said. "These young women, whether they're in field hockey or basketball, they work just as hard as the men do in football or men's basketball. And they're just great ambassadors to this athletic program, they're great ambassadors to this city. And I wanted to make sure that we elevate everybody equally in the same way. That's why women's sports and Title IX have been such a very important thing to me."
Equal opportunity was one thing, but even playing in Freedom Hall and regularly winning 20 games, the Cardinals were drawing around 3,000 fans per game and barely cracking the top 40 in national attendance when Jeff Walz was hired as coach prior to the 2007-08 season. A Kentucky native whose younger sister, Jaime, is in the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame for her exploits as a high school basketball star, Walz understood the culture. He also understood that winning games was only part of the equation. He got his start in college coaching as one of Paul Sanderford's assistants at Western Kentucky. At a time in the 1980s and early 1990s when Louisville struggled to break four figures in attendance, Sanderford's teams drew well enough that even now, 15 years after he left Western Kentucky, eight of the top 10 single-game crowds in school history are from that era.
Some of the basketball lessons Walz took away from that experience explain the success his teams have on the floor. More of those lessons explain why he still takes every speaking engagement he can get despite a speech impediment that makes such endeavors a chore, and why he told anyone who would listen to come to a game and then send him an email for a full refund if they didn't enjoy themselves. Nobody ever took him up on the last part. And those lessons explain why no more than 10 minutes after a tough loss to Connecticut, the third loss in a row for a team beset by injuries, Schimmel and other Cardinals stood and signed autographs.
"I think it's important for the fans in women's basketball to actually become connected to a player on a personal level," Walz said. "Not just, 'Hey, that No. 23, she's a good player,' but when the kids go home they can say, 'Hey, Shoni signed this for me, Tia signed this.' Give them a more personal connection to our team. We work really hard on that."
It didn't hurt that Walz inherited McCoughtry, who became a three-time All-American on his watch. McCoughtry played her first college game in front of 1,123 fans in Freedom Hall. She played her final game in front of 18,478 in St. Louis in the national championship game. What came between those two events was attendance more than doubling for home games at Freedom Hall, leaving Louisville No. 10 in attendance even before it moved to the Yum! Center. The new arena isn't the proverbial house that McCoughtry built, but crowds like the one that came through the doors on a weekday night against Connecticut lend credence to the idea that it's the house she filled for women's basketball. Jurich made sure the team had the stage, Walz made sure people paid attention, but McCoughtry convinced a lot of them to keep coming back.
"It wasn't something that I was really expecting to have happen as quickly as it did, but at the same time, Angel was a big part of that," Walz said of the surge of interest. "The way she played was not the norm; it's not what you normally saw in a women's basketball game. You didn't normally see a player able to get up above the rim at times for rebounds, the way she could run the floor, the way she could score. So I think a lot of it had to do with the word finally getting out there that, 'Hey, you have to see this kid play.'"
Maintaining momentum
McCoughtry moved on to WNBA fame. Louisville is minus two of arguably its three most valuable players this year after season-ending injuries to Gibbs and Reid, but still the fans come. Louisville games have become an experience, and an affordable experience at that. On this night, Dan Martens and his 12-year-old daughter actually came to see Connecticut, making the five-hour round trip from Vincennes, Ind., to see the team Louisville displaced from second place in home attendance. They may not come back as converted members of the Cardinals' faithful, but after watching a game from the first five rows for about what it would cost to see a high school game back home, they may well come back. And at some point, whether it's his daughter or her daughter two decades from now, the home team might win their allegiance.
"We would definitely come back," Martens said. "It's going to cost me 30 bucks in gas, 20 dollars for tickets; that's cheap entertainment. Fifty dollars for a memorable experience with my daughter? It's really cool."
It took a lot of pieces falling into place at precisely the right time to get to this point, but if you're looking for a reason why more people come to watch Louisville women's basketball than any team save the one in Knoxville, that sums it up. In the span of a generation, and without the aid of championship coattails, the people here have made Louisville basketball cool.
"When I was younger, I didn't really see too many girls playing basketball, so I thought they didn't," Reid said. "I didn't know girls played basketball. I just played because I liked it, and I played with the boys all the time.
"Most kids wanted to go to UConn, Tennessee; I wanted to go to Louisville, play for my hometown."
And more than a century after a prophecy, Louisville is finally wide awake to the presence of a program it can be proud of.

"Jury hears about Corasanti cell phone activity"
Is Not Available At This Time.
Investigator Says Alix Rice Texted Before Crash
Please enter your comments below.
Hit & Run
It doesn't matter if she was eating twinkies, Corasanti (in my opionion) hit her and then left the fatally injured girl and the scene of a that crash. Her actions had nothing to do with his reaction when he hit her.
I Agree!
You're right, Alix texting is irrelevant to the fact that Carasanti hit her and then ran away. Stop making her look like the guilty one!!! They are really grasping at straws to get him off lightly. Hopefully the jury is intelligent enough to convict him.
Hit and Run
Are you serious? Who cares what she was doing? Doesn't even matter if he was drunk of not. He left the scene, end of story. you're guilty of a felony. If he gets away with this it's an injustice not only to Alix but all the people that went to prison because they didn't have money.
her texting is irrelevant
The girl was on a skateboard. Her texting has nothing to do with her being hit by a BMW 750 and killed. If she shot in front of him or hit the side of the car she may be partially at fault but that is not the case. Daniels and crew are trying their best to get their client off in any way they can.
how it happened
Dr. Corisanti was light blinded by his cell phone while he was driving nin the dark ... Walk into a dark room then light up your phone (as if to look at a text ) now look around you cant see well till your eyes adjust back to the level of darkness now do the same thing while driving drunk with old eyes and on a dark road all around a recipe for disaster and that is what unfortunately what happened
i agree
it dosent matter weather she was crossing the lines. Corosanti was drunk and him and his lawyer are trying to get him off meanwile making alix look like the cause. step up to the plate and stop trying to help yourself. A young girl has died! you are a doctor maybe who will ever know you could have helped her but you chosed to save yourself and your career
where is the proof
the prosecution has circumstantial evidence at best ! where was the girl in the road when she got hit? why is the damage to the Drs car so low last time I stood in front of my car I would have flipped over it if I was standing not propelled 160 feet. It could have been anyone driving that car and not seen that poor girl last time I check you are innocent until proven guilty
Drunk Texting
After drinking all day, there's only one reason for texting some gal at work. Man, this dude is scum.
He is disgusting
He is a sad excuse for a man, I cannot believe how they even think he should get out of this one. I guess it is money talks well it better not, your right for all the people who did go to prison he better also. Texting, drinking, and leaving scene And all backed up with evidence. END of Story!!!
sad very very sad

As a USA TODAY Sports poll revealed, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell isn't all that popular among players, chiefly because of his mission to make football safer by, what appears to be, any means necessary. Matt Forte, Ed Reed and James Harrison are among the multitude of players to blast Goodell in recent times for this very reason.
But Patrick Peterson? The Arizona Cardinals' Pro Bowl cornerback is in the minority when it comes to his opinion of Goodell.
BELL: Concussion suit should go to trial
"The game has definitely changed, but I believe the commissioner is changing the game for the good," Peterson told ESPN 1100 in Las Vegas, via ProFootballTalk.com. "These guys want to make the game as safe as possible, so us football players can have longevity after our football careers. I think Roger Goodell is doing a great job trying to implement these rules and just make the game as safe as possible.
"We don't want to go out there spearing guys and running backs dropping their helmets into our chests. I actually love the new rule change."
Other than Peterson supporting the rule aimed at running backs who lower their heads (which isn't a surprise), this an interesting take coming from a defensive player. Then again, we'll see how Peterson's view holds up when one of the new rules goes against the Cardinals in a critical spot.

The sensor should be positioned 2 – 6 feet (0.6 – 1.8 m) off the floor, with nothing between you and the sensor. See Kinect sensor setup for more information.
Make sure the sensor is not too far back on the shelf and that there's nothing in front of the sensor (for example, make sure the sensor is not positioned behind glass).
Make sure nothing is preventing the sensor from automatically tilting up or down.
The light on the sensor should be green, which means the sensor is ready to go. No green light?2. A clear play space
Clear the area between the sensor and the players.
One player: Stand back 6 feet (1.8 m).
Two players: Stand back 8 feet (2.4 m).3. Good lighting
Make sure your room has enough light so that your face is clearly visible and evenly lit. Try to minimize side or back lighting, especially from a window.
For best tracking results avoid positioning the sensor or player in direct sunlight.
Some lighting conditions can make it hard for Kinect to identify you or track your movements.
Make sure the room has bright, even lighting.4. Player considerations
Players need to be at least 40 inches tall (1 m).
Face the sensor and make sure that nothing is covering your face, such as a hat, your hair, or reflective glasses.
Try to avoid wearing baggy clothing.
Some black clothing dyes may absorb infrared light, making it difficult for Kinect to track you accurately.
Use the Kinect Tuner to help Kinect track and see your entire body. Use the Kinect Tuner anytime you move the sensor or when you have any of these problems:
Note If Kinect can't see your entire body, select Adjust Angle to tilt the sensor up or down.
For example, move closer if the sensor cannot see you. Once you've corrected the problem, select Try Again.
If your picture is displayed on the screen, the sensor is having trouble seeing your face.
If this happens, try the following:
Once you've corrected all problems, complete the Kinect Tuner so that your settings are saved.

GDFD No. 15: I wanna live a life of danger
Ryan Lambert
November 07 2009 04:21PM
Welcome to the Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 15th game of the season on Nov. 7, 2009.
Over the last week or so, you may have noticed that the Flames got into a bit of a kerfuffle over this whole H1N1 vaccine situation. This whole "swine flu" thing has been a hot-button issue across the NHL and the world at large for a while now and so it was only a matter of time before it touched the Flames in one way or another.
But it wasn't just Petr Budaj, David Krejci and a number of others that have fallen ill with this affliction. Another person you may know who has the swine flu: me. That's right, I got it from someone at work (I think) on Wednesday or Thursday and I am so wacked out on a slew of several drugs I barely know up from down.. down is the one that's up, right?
Now I know why the Flames shoved their way to the front of the line to get loaded up full of medicine. This is by far the least pleasant thing that has happened to my body in its 26-year history. If the normal flu were Jarome Iginla, swine flu would be Iginla mid-The Shift. I'll spare you the gorier (or, more accurately, scatological) details, but I can say for sure that I have never been in this much pain despite having done nothing to earn it. Every time I move even slightly, it feels as if some very tiny people are punching me directly in moving muscle group. I can't sleep for more than two hours at a time. My body temperature has taken on chameleon-like qualities; a sip of Gatorade means I'm freezing for the next 15 minutes and a spoonful of chicken soup has me sweating immediately. Room-temperature foods have never been so gratifying.
The best part, though, was having the symptoms come on hardcore while at the Bruins/Canadiens game on Thursday. That was a pleasant third period, then overtime, then shootout, then train ride back to the car, then drive back to my friend's house, then drive back to my house. I only had to pull over three times to vomit. The only positive to come from that is knowing that the large fat older gentleman next to me — who insisted on referring to the injured Milan "Luke-itch" as the Bruins' best player, continually bitching about how Derek Morris is better for Boston's defense than Andrew Ference and getting up to buy more beer during play — might now also have swine flu. I should have coughed in his mouth.
There are some of you out there who probably condemned the Flames for their line-jumping, and I thought it was at least tactless. But now I understand it. I could barely conjure the strength and will to leave my bed to go to my desk and write this stupid gameday post, let alone go to the rink, put on equipment, then play hockey against giant men who want to hurt me. I wouldn't wish this on anyone except that jerk from Thursday night.
The Calgary Flames (9-4-1 for 19 points. Eighth in the West, third in the Northwest) and the New York Rangers (10-6-1 for 21 points. Fourth in the East, second in the Atlantic).
8 p.m. Mountain time and 10 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should go outside and play.
Pengrowth Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta.
Calgary is 5-3-0 at home this year, which is actually worse than its road record, oddly enough. The Rangers are 4-4-1 away from Madison Square Garden, well below their home record of 6-2-0.
What (to hate about the Rangers)
John Tortorella — Because it isn't enough that he's a loud, arrogant jerk, he also had to coach the stupid Tampa Bay Lightning to a Stanley Cup win one time.
Henrik Lundqvist — He's so good and.. oh what's that? He's not playing tonight? Tooooooo bad.
Marian Gaborik — So far, this grand experiment of signing an incredibly-talented-but-oft-injured player to a long-term, big-money contract has worked out. The guy is on 12 goals and nine assists in 15 games. Only three players on the Flames have more points than he does assists, and only two have more points than he does goals. That's crazy.
Because I've been quarantined. Enjoy the game and try not to get sick in the comments section.
Good Gods, TLP. Heal up old chap. You should have offered the guy next to you a pork chop. Cause everyone knows that's how you get swine flu.
Good Gods, TLP. Heal up old chap. You should have offered the guy next to you a pork chop. Cause everyone knows that's how you get swine flu.
Gregor's gonna BEAT you for that!

Scott Cullen has notes on one of the most notable struggling Sabres, an Avalanche forward back on track, a Wings prospect making the most of his opportunity and more.
LEANING TOWER Sabres D Tyler Myers is a 23-year-old in his fourth NHL season and while he appeared to be a franchise defenceman in his first couple of seasons, there has been some decline since, with his start to this season resulting in a few games as a healthy scratch.
Myers' point production has declined every year and his time on ice is down, from 23:44 per game as a rookie, to 20:02 so far this season. In some ways, the 6-foot-8 blueliner is a victim of his size, because he doesn't play the kind of physical game or with the edge that one might expect from the second-tallest player in the league, but he's also a brilliant skater, which is why he should be the cornerstone of the Sabres' defence, capable of playing 25 minutes per night.
He's already played less than 20 minutes seven times this season, including the last two games, a threshold he missed only five times in 55 games last season, so he's at a relative low point in his value, for both fantasy owners and NHL teams that might come sniffing around the Sabres to see if they are willing to make a change.
TY ONE ON Colorado has a dearth of puck-moving defencemen, so there is an opportunity for rookie Tyson Barrie, who has put up three points and averaged 24:23 of ice time in the last three games.
A third-round pick in 2009, Barrie has 59 points in 85 career AHL games, suggesting that he ought to be able to contribute offensively, and his 3:23 power play ice time per game (admittedly, in only six games) leads the Avalanche.
WELCOME MATT Coming off the worst of his three pro seasons, Avalanche C Matt Duchene has improved his conditioning and is reaping the rewards, playing a career-high 21:35 per game (up from 16:17 per game last season), scoring 14 points in Colorado's first 13 games.
Some of the reason that Duchene is needed to play such a big role down the middle is that Ryan O'Reilly remains unsigned, but Duchene's production is back in line with what should have been expected from the 22-year-old who was the third overall pick in 2009 and scored 51 goals and 122 points in his first two seasons before slipping last season.
With captain Gabriel Landeskog injured, there has been a chance for Jamie McGinn to play on Duchene's wing and McGinn is impressing, putting up nine points in the last seven games. What's encouraging about McGinn's production is that he's also registered 28 shots on goal in those seven games and a winger putting up 4.0 shots per game (even one with two goals on 43 shots this season, like McGinn) is a decent bet to remain productive.
TATAR SAUCE Red Wings LW Tomas Tatar has a lot of AHL games under his belt for a 22-year-old -- 248 to be precise -- after he was a second-round pick in 2009, moving straight from Slovakia to Grand Rapids.
He's shown plenty of skill but, with all that time in the minors, there have been ups and downs; times when other Detroit prospects have pulled ahead of him. This season, with injuries knocking out the likes of Johan Franzen, Mikael Samuelsson and Todd Bertuzzi, there has been room in Detroit for skilled forward prospects and while Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson have also had a chance, Tatar is the one making his mark.
Tatar scored goals in back-to-back games on Wednesday and Friday last week and while he was held off the shoresheet in Sunday's loss to Minnesota, he also recorded a season-high five shots on goal while playing with Andersson and Justin Abdelkader.
STEADY DEVELOPMENT The Chicago Blackhawks have been patient with C Marcus Kruger, a fifth-round pick in 2009 and, now in his second full season with the club, Kruger is starting to pay dividends.
In the last six games, Kruger has three goals and two assists, to go with a plus-5 rating, production that might warrant an increase in the modest 12:44 ice time he's been averaging this season.
ALLEN KEY With G Brian Elliott collapsing (3.57 GAA, .849 SV% in 9 GP) and Jaroslav Halak injured, Jake Allen got the call to St. Louis and won his first three starts.
While Halak is expected to return this week, Allen (2.76 GAA, .888 SV% in 4 GP) loses his appeal, but a decent initial showing keeps the 22-year-old ready for more work if Halak can't stay healthy and/or Elliott can't recapture last season's form.
BOLT ACTION The fourth overall pick in 2005, Lightning LW Benoit Pouliot hasn't been terribly productive, connecting for a career-high 32 points for Boston last season. However, with Ryan Malone injured in Tampa Bay, Pouliot is getting a chance to play in a scoring role, most recently alongside Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis, and he's put up a point-per-game in the last nine.
As long as he's getting those opportunities, 26-year-old Pouliot is alluring, if even in the short-term. Who knows, if he keeps putting up a point per game, maybe that term will get extended.
COYOTE PRETTY I've mentioned him on the Fantasy Hockey Update once or twice and probably in a blog already, but Coyotes C Martin Hanzal is adding some offence to his game and now has seven goals and 10 points in 11 games this season.
He's not going to keep scoring on 26.7% of his shots, as he has so far, but is averaging 2.36 shots on goal per game, and plays on the Coyotes' first power play unit, with Mikkel Boedker and Radim Vrbata (who, incidentally, has a lower body injury).
CRAFTY VETERAN It's understandable that the Edmonton Oilers' young guns are the ones getting the pub. Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle and Nail Yakupov come with first-round pedigree and ooze promise, but that has also allowed another Oilers first-rounder, Ales Hemsky (13th overall in 2001) to fly under the radar somehwat.
Hemsky was the Oilers' best offensive threat for several seasons before injuries really cut into his playing time and then last season he played 69 games, but managed just 10 goals and 36 points.
This year, playing on Edmonton's second line with Sam Gagner and Yakupov, Hemsky has started to find his way, scoring five goals and seven points in the last seven games.
Hemsky won't keep scoring on more than 24% of his shots on goal, but he's been notorious for not shooting the puck enough throughout his career and he's averaged 2.57 shots per game over the last seven, a rate that rivals his full-season career-best.
UNDER-RATED Unless you follow agent Allan Walsh's Twitter feed, Penguins RW Pascal Dupuis can be easy to overlook -- he's one of the guys skating alongside Sidney Crosby.
Dupuis scored 20 goals and 48 points for the Minnesota Wild in 2002-2003 and those totals remained career-highs until last season, when he scored 25 goals and 59 points, but what are the odds that the 33-year-old's production would continue to get better?
Dupuis is finishing at a higher rate than expected (seven goals on 35 shots = 20.0 SH%), but 12 points and a plus-7 rating while consistently playing alongside one of the game's premier talents, is enough reason to pay attention to Dupuis.
FIRST GOAL A second-round pick in 2010, Wild LW Jason Zucker scored a goal in his first NHL game of the season (he had two assists in six games last year after he finished his sophomore season at the University of Denver) and could be an interesting option for a Wild team that has struggled offensively, ranking 29th in the league with 2.07 goals per game.
Zucker, who had 19 goals and 41 points in 47 AHL games with Houston before getting called up, played with Matt Cullen and Devin Setoguchi against Detroit on Sunday.
KESLER RETURNS Vancouver managed to do more than just tread water through injuries in the early portion of the season, but they're getting healthy now. C Ryan Kesler has two points (and is minus-3) in two games, while playing more than 20 minutes per, mostly with Chris Higgins and Zack Kassian on his wings.
Kesler's linemates may be changing soon, however, as LW David Booth is expected to return this week from a groin injury suffered on the first day of training camp.

The Muslim Brotherhood has been carrying out an aggressive campaign of violence and vandalism against Christians in Egypt. The liberal community never seems terribly concerned about the persecution of Christian minorities. The same pseudo intellectuals that have agonized us about whether freedom of speech should be curtailed in order to avoid offending Muslims, don't seem a bit upset about the destruction of Coptic churches, and other Christian property in Egypt by the Muslims.
We have seen this kind of behavior before during the late 1930s and early 1940's under Nazi Germany. But ..., but ..., but didn't we hear, "Never Again!" after WWII? Didn't we, the victors of WWII decide, "never another holocaust"? Or was that just talk? Instead of the Nazi Party brutalizing Jews, now we have the Muslim Brotherhood and their ilk brutalizing Christians. While these people target Christians, the Left is again silent, just like they were preceding and during WWII when Hitler was the big bad bully.
The liberal machine cranks out outrage when someone criticizes Muslims or Pres. Obama.
Where is that same liberal outrage against the violent attacks on Coptic Christians as there is against the mere criticism of Muslims? Hypocrisy! While you are getting upset about someone criticizing Muslims, Muslims are brutalizing the Coptic Christians in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East. But you, by your silence, are demonstrating that you approve of it. Hypocrites! Get it fixed. I have had it with your nonsense. At least make some attempt to be intellectually honest. And that's my opinion.

For the first time since 2001, someone other than the Lady Wave and Golden Wave took home the state championship trophies in high school cross country.
The Lady Wave saw its 11-year win streak snapped Saturday with a third-place finish to Ocean Springs and Madison Central in the MHSAA Class 6A Cross Country Championships at Mississippi College's Choctaw Trails.
"The streak has ended," Lady Wave coach Anna Sloan said. "The monkey's off our back. The streak was a source of pride and a source of stress.
"Our girls tried their best. That's all you can ask."
Ocean Springs finished with 36 points, Madison Central 59 and Tupelo 66.
For the Lady Wave, defending individual 6A state champion, Christina Daniels, finished second in 15 minutes, 12 seconds. Madison Central's Rebecca Buteau was the winner in 15:04.
Callie Watson was 11th overall in 16:11 for Tupelo. The top 14 runners earn all-state recognition from the MHSAA.
"We've lost a good group of seniors, but we've got some good, young runners," Sloan said. "We're coming back to win it next year."
Tupelo's boys just missed winning their 11th state championship in 12 seasons, falling by one point to Oceans Springs, 38-39.
"You don't expect to score 39 and lose the meet," Tupelo coach Jonathan Begnaud said. "It shows you how well we ran."
Darnell Collier led the Wave with a third-place finish in 16:46. Andrew White, 17:20; Jordan McKay, 17:37; Corey Batson 17:56 and Michael Robinson, 17:59, all had top 14 finishes.
White, who came in with the state's best times, ran for the second consective season with an injury – shin splints.
"He would love to be healthy, 100 percent, for this," Begnaud said.
The coach was pleased with his team's showing and effort. Ocean Springs had a larger lead early in the race.
"We did a good job toward the end," Begnaud said. "We made up some points to close the gap. Ocean Springs ran fantastic."
Oak Grove's William Murphy won the state title in 16:28.

May 27 2013 09:18PM
I made a montage of the Leafs' 2013 season. During the week that the end of the lockout was announced, and shortly after Brian Burke was fired, I heard Adele's song Skyfall that she made for the new James Bond movie with the same name. I'm always video editing and always tinkering with highlights, and it struck me as the perfect song to end the Leafs' season.
That is, of course, if the season wasn't an utter disaster.
With the haunting "18-wheeler off of a cliff" collapse in the final months of the 2011-12 season, compounded with the sudden firing of Brian Burke, Toronto seemed destined for another disappointing non-playoff season. Well, it wasn't always pretty, but the Leafs fought hard, ended the drought, and brought the playoff rush that had been missing in Leafs Nation for nearly a decade.
Here is my tribute to the 2012-2013 Toronto Maple Leafs.
Steve, that was pretty awesome. Stokes the fires for next year.

Slightly not what I was expecting
"The shoes are really cute but I thought that all the studs on the heels are all black just like the shoes but it actually really looks like on the picture which is kinda silver (faded pewter?). I thought that maybe the light was just shining on the studs so it made it look a bit shiny and silver. I guess the picture was too accurate ;PI would have rather have the studs all black but I guess it's not that bad. The shoes are still unique and stylish.I'm a size 6 and I bought a size 6 which is a little squished in the front but the shoes being leather, there might be room for it to stretch. I have very narrow feet so this works for me.I think I'll just keep it. I wish I could've bought it during triple points day."
