(05/01/13) Presidential Speech Archive American President: A Reference Resource Presidential Recordings Presidential Oral Histories ← Return to Riding The Tiger December 18, 2012 By Carah Ong Is this the Moment for Political Action on Gun Violence? President Bill Clinton Address Gun Laws in his 2000 State of the Union Address in the wake of the Columbine, Colorado Tragedy. In the wake of the tragedy in Newton, Connecticut, the nation could be poised for a more serious dialogue about gun violence. Even President Obama, who was reticent in the wake of the Aurora, Colorado shootings amidst the height of electioneering to risk losing swing voters, now seems more willing to engage in a national dialogue on preventing gun violence. On Sunday, President Obama traveled to Newton, Connecticut to address the community at an interfaith vigil. As he noted in his speech, it was the fourth time in his presidency that the nation has come together to comfort a grieving community torn apart by mass shootings. Indeed, according to a Mother Jones investigation, spree shootings like those in Newton, Aurora, Virginia Tech and Columbine have been on the rise in the United States (a less restrictive definition of mass shootings employed by James Allan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern, finds that there hasn't been an increase). There have been at least 62 mass shootings in the past three decades, with 24 in the last seven years alone. In addition to these shootings, there have also been "an endless series of deadly shootings across the country, almost daily reports of victims, many of them children." President Obama told the community: We can't tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change. We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. No single law, no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society, but that can't be an excuse for inaction. Surely we can do better than this. If there's even one step we can take to save another child or another parent or another town from the grief that's visited Tucson and Aurora and Oak Creek and Newtown and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that, then surely we have an obligation to try. While the President refrained from advocating specific gun control laws, he noted: In the coming weeks, I'll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens, from law enforcement, to mental health professionals, to parents and educators, in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this, because what choice do we have? We can't accept events like this as routine. In pressing for action, President Obama follows in the footsteps of his Democratic predecessors, though he has been more restrained thus far by refraining from advocating specific measures. In the wake of urban riots beginning in 1964 and the 1968 assassinations of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, President Lyndon Johnson pressed Congress to enact the Gun Control Act. In his address to the nation on civil disorder, Johnson not only attempted to comfort the nation, he also said his administration would continue to press for laws like the Safe Streets and Crime Control Act and the Gun Control Act. Even though the bills didn't contain all the provisions Johnson sought, both laws passed enacting some of the most significant restrictions on firearms since the 1934 National Firearms Act. During the 1992 election, then-candidate Bill Clinton's endorsed the Brady Handgun Violence and Prevention Act and the movement supporting it. Soon after assuming office, Congress passed the law and President Clinton signed it. In the wake of Columbine, President Clinton further pressed for laws on gun control. He addressed the issue in his 2000 State of the Union Address: Soon after the Columbine tragedy, Congress considered commonsense gun legislation, to require Brady background checks at the gun shows, child safety locks for new handguns, and a ban on the importation of large capacity ammunition clips. With courage and a tie-breaking vote by the Vice President—[laughter] —the Senate faced down the gun lobby, stood up for the American people, and passed this legislation. But the House failed to follow suit…. We must strengthen our gun laws and enforce those already on the books better. Federal gun crime prosecutions are up 16 percent since I took office. But we must do more. I propose to hire more federal and local gun prosecutors and more ATF agents to crack down on illegal gun traffickers and bad-apple dealers. And we must give them the enforcement tools that they need, tools to trace every gun and every bullet used in every gun crime in the United States. It remains to be seen whether President Obama will take up the Democratic Party's traditionally strong stance for gun control. However, the tragedy in Newton may be a tipping point as the media spotlights the tragedy and possible responses. The Pew Research Center and Gallup recently found that the country is evenly divided on gun control. But in the wake of Newton, the nation could be more poised than in recent memory to engage in a dialogue on the issue. A new CBS News poll finds that support for gun control is at its highest point in a decade. According to the poll, conducted December 14 – 16, fifty-seven percent of Americans now say gun control laws should be made more strict. A few politicians also appear more willing to speak out in favor of action. On "Meet the Press" on Sunday, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (Ind.) insisted that curbing gun violence should be President Obama's "number one agenda" item: He's president of the United States, and if he does nothing during his second term, something like 48,000 Americans will be killed with illegal guns. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) vowed to introduce legislation to ban assault weapons at the start of the next Congress and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he was optimistic about the prospect of passing a gun control measure. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), a conservative Democrat and National Rifle Association member, said on Monday it's time to discuss new regulations on assault weapons. Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), who has an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association, also says he has and a new perspective on gun control in the wake of Newton. Senator-elect Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), who also has an "A" rating from the NRA, said that "possible changes to our gun laws" would be part of the conversation after the elementary school shootings. Even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), a gun-rights ally, said for the first time that he believes Congress should examine whether to pursue a legislative response to mass shootings. And former advisor to Mitt Romney and Christian conservative public relations executive, Mark DeMoss, called on Sunday for a national conversation on gun control. Following the shifts in the positions of key Senators, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney noted on Tuesday that President Obama is "actively supportive" of planned legislation to reinstate the national ban on assault weapons. Carney also said the President supports closing a loophole that limits scrutiny of weapons sales at gun shows and restricting high-capacity ammunition clips. What might meaningful action look like and where might the conversation start? It's clear that the conversation must include a discussion of mental health - Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech), Jared Lee Loughner (Tucson), James Eagen Holmes (Aurora), and Adam Lanza all had significant mental health problems. Advocacy groups and think tanks have put forth a number of proposals they think could reduce gun violence in the United States, including more extensive background checks, banning assault weapons, increasing waiting periods and increasing public health funding. But consensus for action to address violence remains elusive. Gun rights advocates fear their Second Amendment rights may be taken away. In the wake of Newton, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) went so far as to suggest that greater access to guns could help prevent mass killings. Jeffrey Goldberg also argues that when Americans already own nearly 300 million firearms, gun control efforts, while noble, won't reduce gun crime and mass shootings. He suggests instead that maybe we should allow more people to carry guns. Charles Cooke provides a different conservative response: To realize that there is very little than one could have done to stop yesterday's abomination is to understand that we are sometimes powerless in the face of evil, however much we shout about it. Newton may be a tipping point for a broader national dialogue. It seems that President Obama is being given some license to use the bully pulpit to address gun violence. It remains to be seen how he will use the power of the presidency in response to work with Congress on this issue and garner public support for joint initiatives.

Barton sees red in Marseille defeat
A review of the weekend's action so far in France's Ligue 1, including a shock home defeat for Marseille.
- Related Content
Marseille paid the price for the second-half dismissal of Joey Barton as they slipped to a shock 1-0 defeat at home to lowly Nancy.
The on-loan midfielder was shown two yellow cards in the space of five minutes to leave OM facing an uphill struggle at the Stade Velodrome.
And an own goal from Andre Ayew capped off a miserable evening for the title hopefuls, who remain six points behind Ligue 1 leaders Paris St Germain.
Adrian Mutu scored twice as Ajaccio inflicted a blow to Lyon's title hopes with a 3-1 victory.
Paris St Germain's three-point lead, gained by winning 4-0 in Toulouse on Friday, was sure to last the weekend after this surprising result.
Ajaccio were without a win in five league matches and perched precariously, just two points above the relegation zone, as Lyon arrived looking to rejoin PSG at the summit.
And when Lyon edged ahead early in the second half it was all going to plan for Remi Garde's men.
But Ajaccio were soon level, thanks to Chahir Belghazouani, and Romanian Mutu headed them ahead before adding a late penalty after Lyon missed a chance to equalise from the spot.
Reims remain in the Ligue 1 relegation zone after squandering a first-half lead in a 3-1 defeat at Montpellier.
Gaetan Courtet put the visitors in front on 33 minutes, but Montpellier equalised just three minutes into the second half through Souleymane Camara and went on to claim all three points thanks to goals from Marco Estrada and Younes Belhanda.
With none of the leading trio in action on Saturday, all eyes were on the battle for Europe behind them as Bordeaux, Nice and St Etienne all won to remain within a point of each other in the fight for fourth.
Bordeaux ensured they would hang onto fourth on goal difference as they saw off Valenciennes 2-0 with close-range finishes in each half from David Bellion and Ludovic Obraniak.
Nice, who lost to Bordeaux last weekend, are right behind, level on 38 points, having won 2-0 away to Brest.
Nemanja Pejcinovic put them ahead after 13 minutes, slamming home after Brest failed to deal with Xavier Pentecote's corner, and they doubled their advantage only seconds into the second half when Brahim Ferradj put through his own net.
St Etienne, one point behind in sixth, were grateful to the crossbar for preserving their 2-1 away win over relegation-battling Sochaux.
Sloan Privat's injury-time header came back off the bar as St Etienne hung on for a victory that would have been assured had Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang not missed an 81st-minute penalty.
Aubameyang had put the visitors in front with a powerful volley into the top corner after 22 minutes, but they missed chances to add to their lead before Edouard Butin levelled in the 71st minute.
Parity lasted only five minutes before Fabien Lemoine's powerful shot picked up a deflection on its way to goal, but Aubameyang's penalty miss left St Etienne hanging on.
That saw St Etienne move above Rennes on goal difference as les Rouges et Noirs needed a last-minute goal from substitute Axel Ngando, only on the pitch for a matter of seconds, to take a 2-2 draw away to Lorient, who are just two points further back in the congested upper mid-table.
Jeremie Aliadiere had put Lorient in front 10 minutes from time after Mevlut Erdinc cancelled out Yann Jouffre's opener, but just when Lorient looked poised to climb above Rennes in the table, Ngando scored with his first touch, slipping the ball through the goalkeeper's legs.
Lille slipped further off the pace as they were held to a 1-1 home draw by relegation-battling Troyes, needing Divock Origi's 74th-minute strike to cancel out Fabien Camus' first-half opener.
The result leaves them seven points off fourth down in 10th place.
Bastia and Evian played out a goalless draw.
On Friday, Paris St Germain responded to the much-publicised arrival of David Beckham with a comfortable 4-0 win at Toulouse to strengthen their position at the top.
The former England captain signed for the Parisian club until the end of the season but ruled himself out of this fixture because of a lack of match fitness, having not played since December.
However, his new team-mates proved they could do it without him and were already leading through goals from Javier Pastore and Zlatan Ibrahimovic when Toulouse were reduced to 10 men with the dismissal of Cheikh M'Bengue.
It was one-way traffic from that point onwards, and further goals from Mamadou Sakho and Gregory van der Wiel secured a seventh win in eight matches to lift PSG three points clear at the top.

Skip to comments.Experts: Feds pressure widow, pals in bomb case
Posted on 05/04/2013 10:14:12 AM PDT by redreno
BOSTON (AP) Every time the widow of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev leaves her parents' house, federal agents watching the residence follow her in unmarked vehicles.
Federal authorities are placing intense pressure on what they know to be the inner circle of the two bombing suspects, arresting three college buddies of surviving brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and keeping Tamerlan's 24-year-old widow, Katherine Russell, in the public eye with their open surveillance and leaks to media about investigators' focus on her.
Legal experts say it's part of their quest not just to determine whether Russell and the friends are culpable but also to push for as much information as possible regarding whether the bombing suspects had ties to a terrorism network or accomplices working domestically or abroad. A primary goal is to push the widow and friends to give their full cooperation, according to the experts.
(Excerpt) Read more at bigstory.ap.org ...
Gee, it took "experts" to figure that out?
I don't how she walks away without any court action and two or three years in prison. She had to know what they were up to, and she had to recognize the picture on TV when he appeared. I'm sorry she's such a dimwit on this stuff and that naive...but if you marry into radical Islam....you'd best be prepared for a short life, or a prison period somewhere in the mess.
I agree. She had to know. There is no way she didn't.
Living in a small apartment. Listening & talking with her husband & brother in law. Hell yes, she knew what was going on.
Agree, it does not seem plausible for her to be completely unaware. Perhaps she was bullied into staying quiet or maybe she thought her husband was too smart to get caught. It's all fun and games until something goes wrong.
I want to know why she still has access to her child.
If a child has been exposed to bomb making etc., whether she thought they were making bombs or working on her husband's school science project- why hasn't her child been taken away?
What's to stop her from blowing up both of them?
Children have been whisked away by the state for all kinds of crazy potential reasons-in this case, it seems pretty clear the child was around BOMBS and is part of a terrorist family unit...
Arrest her, threaten her with prison and permanent removal of her child. She will talk.
Or she will strap a bomb on the kid.
She called him to warn him....Why isn't she in jail?? I'd say daddy has some pull.
Thanks for posting this.
It takes a while to rehearse her in what they want her to say.
Boston Bombing Ping!
Does she speak russian or chechnyan (if there is such a language)? Perhaps the brothers spoke russian and she did not understand.
When do they stop calling Tamerlan Tsarnaev 'suspected' Boston Marathon bomber? He's dead, can't go to court.
What I don't get is the fed focus on him having either domestic OR foreign assistance. Why can't it be both? Seems like they are limiting themselves and the investigation that way. He likely had foreign help and inspiration and domestic Islamist sympathizers and financing.
I know the political reasons for wanting to find that he was 'self radicalized' but for national security, they had better start realizing that no one is self radicalized in Islam. They are taught!
Just spouting off..so frustrating to watch the wheels coming off some of our greatest agencies under this incompetent Marxist president.
IMHO the good guys are on this and hopefully it will shed enough light on the jihadi loving administration - along with what's happening with Benghazi - to lead to serious legal consequences for the perps. And I don't mean just the individuals involved in the bombings - I mean those covering up and aiding and abetting from a distance.
Thanks for the ping Ernest.
I wondered about that, too.
What if she wants to go out in a 'blaze of glory', what if she has overwhelming guilt, what if she can't stand to look at the child whose father committed such deeds as in Boston.
What's to keep her from strapping any man, woman, or (her) child with a suicide vest?
A mother killing her child?
Counterintuitive, but its happened before.
The child could be in a lot of peril - her parents, too.
US is keeping an eye on her but maybe other people are, too.
I'd through my lot with the US officials. Others might kill her child - child really needs to be in top secret protective care away from Russell AND her parents...they are targets from lots of angles, I would think...
We have a winner! I used to be a CPS worker so I know any of us could have our kids taken away for the mere suspicion of not wiping cookie crumbs off their face but this child is most definitely in a very dangerous environment. If she continues to stay in her parents' home, then put the child in her sister's care and have the sister keep her far, far away.
Frankly, I can't understand how her parents could take her in. According to her Aunt Elizabeth Russell, Katherine's islamic change and marriage broke the extended family up and most didn't attend their wedding. Sorry, but if my kid, relative or friend was involved in any of this, that would be the end. IMO, she might not have detonated the bombs but she certainly knew they were being built and how much her husband hated America. She did nothing to stop them so she's just as guilty. Whould she have called the authories if she knew one of her friends or family had gone to the race? I wonder how many people had mentioned to her in the days before that they were going to go but she said nothing.
Her parents are not dimwits so doubtful she is a dimwit. She just got involved and brainwashed in this dumbass cult. Her father is a Yale trained MD and her mother is a nurse....not dimwits
PROVIDENCE, R.I. Katherine Russell was a talented artist, a good student who grew up Christian, the daughter of a suburban doctor.
Then she went off to college in Boston.
A few years later, she had dropped out of school, converted to Islam and was Katherine Tsarnaeva, wife of a man who would become a suspect in the deadly Boston Marathon bombings and a subject of one of the biggest manhunts in American history.
They are trying to pass that awful Rubio-Obama Amnesty bill....and if it is discovered that there was direct foreign involvement.... Illegal Alien Amnesty is dead
They want this widow to be involved somehow
Thanks Ernest.
Might be arrangements were made that she stay with her parents..(supervised)...they had an attorney almost immediately for her...once it was known it was her husband who bombed the marathon.....and that attorney is no newbee at law.
But with her work hours as they were, I could see the brothers making bombs without her knowlege.....heck woman at home, as he was all day, have had affairs and the husband didn't know. They could have easily worked on them and then shuffle them off someplace...even in the younger kids car...they weren' real bright about many things.
However her computer loaded with ISlamic Terrorist stuff..and bomb making...well now pretty hard to think she didn't know.... just with that on her computer alone.
That would then assume she knew about the bombs no matter what her working hours were.
Thats all just FBI dandy. But the FBI is not telling us that the Widow Tsarneav is lawyered up and protected by Obamas Community Organizers, and the Muslim Brotherhood.
You know, the little liberal fascists whose federal magistrate intervened in the interrogation of Suspect #2, and who prevented his classification as an enemy combatant?
If that had been done we would have all the information we needed, and Suspect 1 and 2, one dead and ome alive, would be buried in Guantanamo Bay , where they belong. As it is if Suspect 1 is buried in Worcestor, MA, there will be riots and his grave will undoubtedly be desecrated, just the kind of social disorder Obama wants to amplify and foment into "revolution" between white people and minorities.
We have an angry president who wants to punish America.So far he is doing a pretty good job of it.

"I was looking for a great red shoe and found this! It's perfect! The peep toe opening is small enough that the edge doesn't catch the very edge of your toenail (where i get blisters from most peep toe shoes). The unique styling of the front of the shoe is great, with a slightly vintage feel. The little strap sits on the front of the ankle and doesn't cause restrictions on the movement of the foot like so many pumps with tiny ankle straps do. Great shoe, great price!"

"I fell in love with these shoes when I saw them bc they looked like they were straight from Betty's closet! I was hesitant to buy them bc the back strap sits very low on the back of the foot which initially felt uncomfortable, but the strap stayed in place. The only issue is for the girls with wide feet like me, these shoes will kill you the first few times out, but will eventually break in. These are def break in while cleaning the house type shoes!"

Win at any cost. That's always been the mantra of sports agent Liz Darnell. When she carries things too far and risks losing her number-one client, baseball pro Gavin Riley, Liz realizes that she'll have to work extra innings to win him back. It might not be too much of a stretch. She's had a thing for this player's moves since she first laid eyes on him, and by the looks of it, he wants her just as bad.
Gavin's more than ready - especially when Liz is offering herself as part of the bargain. And as much of her as Gavin wants. For added thrills, he decides to throw a little curve ball Liz's way to see just how far she's truly willing to go to keep him as a client. But when love unexpectedly enters the playing field, neither Liz nor Gavin is ready for the biggest game-changer of them all.

"This book is wonderful from beginning to end, even for those who are not baseball fans." (RT Book Reviews)
I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
First of all I give 5 stars to whoever is responsible for the cover picture - get a load of that...... oh and those...... not to mention the...... (right girls).
Anyway enough drooling back to the contents, I'm afraid at the start I was a bit disappointed in the first half of this book for the following reasons 1) there seemed to be a lot of 'motion' and not enough emotion or storyline..... a little conversation then sex, play Xbox then hot sex, coffee then sex, oh look at that view then.... yup you got it sex - well you get the picture. Don't get me wrong I like these types of books but there just wasn't a strong enough story to go with the repetitive sex for a lot of the book. 2) I had a little trouble at the start liking or connecting with either Liz or Gavin much as, from book 1, each of them seemed selfish and 3) there was plenty of dissing Mick from book 1 and not enough explaining or recapping just why he didn't like Liz or giving what his understandable reason was.
Having said that, as the story progressed we see more of Liz and Gavin's character traits being peeled away and their vulnerabilities and histories were revealed and the final half just sucked me right in - there was drama, conflict, arguments, heartache, passion and it was sweet, romantic and had a couple of lovely ahhhhh moments - and yes followed by sex of course.
Worth a credit? Well of course I'm going to say YES after all who can resist a steamy escape into these passion filled listens.
Audible OBSESSED!
This book was smoking hot! Far better than book one and hopefully an indication of books to come. The narrator is awful, but that's the worst of any major negative aspects of the story.
Horrible narrator aside, there are some books that I can immediately listen to for a second round, and this story is in that category for me. It was funny, romantic, just enough drama to make my mouth gape open a few times, and super super sexy!
I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
"Better than book one by a mile!"
I loved book one, and this one was way better than book one by a mile! I loved every min of this from chapter one until the very end. I even like how Mick kept popping up giving Gavin and Liz all kind of problems in their relationship from book one. And the smex.. MAN O MAN... If you thought the smex from book one was HOT.. this was Holy Teloly!!! Is that a word! This was right out of the gate SMOT-T-HOT! And that is HOT! LOved it...
Narration was just awesome.
This is a buy. Save your credit for something over 10 bucks...b/c this is on sale... so buy this.. Wait.. if sale is over.. credit this for sure!
Sassy dialogue, humor, and a great reader are important to me.
"Needs a better reader"
good story, but the reader is not good
strong Liz is great. keeps her focus.
Not a good reader
good writing, just needs a better reader
"Getting to know the Riley's"
Great love story . I love how she introduces the character for her next book. Keeps me coming back for more!!!
Great Books Don't Promote Violence
"Gavin is an Ass"
After enjoying the first book in this series, I had high hopes for Changing the Game, involving the sport of baseball and Mick's brother Gavin.
Unfortunately, Gavin was insecure, self absorbed and cruel, totally different from his caring parents and siblings. When Gavin realized that his sexy agent Liz was attracted to him, he enjoyed degrading and humiliating her whenever possible.
I found Gavin so unlikable that I had to fast forward through the sex scenes, which were cold & calculating rather than romantic or steamy. I couldn't understand why Liz was interested in such a total ass and didn't finish this book.
"Okay, Not my Favorite"
Meh. That's really all I can say about this book. Was it bad? No way. Was it amazing? Unfortunately not. It was just . . . in the middle. My biggest complaint was the fact that all the sex started so quickly. (GASP -- I know, I know, I love my smexy books, but hear me out!). I wasn't sold on Liz from book 1, but I was willing to give her a second chance in her own book. However, this book starts off with sex pretty quickly, and I didn't yet have a chance to really KNOW Liz and/or change my mind about her. I still can't say I really connected with her or Gavin, although I suppose I liked them enough.
The narrator wasn't the best, either. Her female voices are a bit nasally, and I was able to zone out at times.
Will I read more of Burton's books? Of course; I loved the first book in this series. Will I try this narrator again? Eh, maybe, but I won't be going out of my way to do so.
Books are to me what exercising is to those enthusiast. My pleasure is sitting down with a good book,its like" Calgon it takes me away"
"Got off track very quickly. to much sex to fast."
would have to really give it some thought, Ms Malone performance is good
Historical Romance
decent job, did have to think about which character was speaking quite a few times
change some of the books in my wish list. probable will not continue with this series
No spoilers! Love HOT, sexy books w/a plot. No vampires, paranormal, teens 4 me. I also review in exchange for books-lots of fun surprises!
"MoreGreat Book In Series-Get Rid of Nasal Narrator"
The continuation from The Perfect Play.... A falling out between Mick and Liz (his agent) sets up a tangled situation for Gavin (Mick's brother) when he makes a deal with Liz. The constant search for where each charter 'belongs' is riveting and enjoyable.
The intimate scenes are hot!
The Play-By-Play Series is great and I recommend reading them in order.
Her male characters are o.k. but her female characters and narration are nasally-a bit annoying.
Adult content and strong language.
I love books and love to get lost in the fantasy. I'm always looking for a new good story to bury myself in. :)
"Pretty good addition to the series"
4 stars
This was a pretty good story. TBH I had my doubts about this story because Elizabeth (the heroine in this story) was a major b*tch in the last story and I wasn't sure if I even wanted to give it a chance. I am glad I did because I enjoyed the story and surprisingly enough I ended up liking her in the end.
Elizabeth (Liz) is a sports agent. She concentrates on business and never gets heavily involved with men. Partially this is due to a horribly controlling father that made her life hell when she was growing up. The other reason is because she's been in love with one of her clients, Gavin, for years. Since Gavin has never shown an interest in her, she figured she'd never have him. She figured she'd concentrate on business and not worry about men since she could never have what she wants.
Liz made some major mistakes when dealing with Gavin's brother, Mick, in the previous book The Perfect Play. She decided that Mick's girlfriend wasn't good for him and tried splitting them up. She didn't succeed and ends up getting fired by Mick. Because of this situation, she figures she's going to lose Gavin as a client as well. She's waiting for him to lower the boom when he comes on to her sexually instead. She figures it's a one time thing before he gives her the boot and goes along with it. She's surprised when he tells her he wants her to stay with him for a while so they can continue to "have fun". Liz knows this is bound to cause her more heartache in the end but can't help taking what she can get.
Gavin is a good guy but he is a playboy and hasn't had any serious relationships. He's never seen Liz sexually (or maybe just hasn't allowed himself to before this) but for some reason he suddenly realizes he wants her. He takes her to bed and then decides he wants more. He tried to get Liz to stay with him for a while (during spring training) but since they never talk about where things are between them or what either of them is expecting she eventually leaves, due to fear and thinking he's lost interest.
When spring training is over and Gavin gets back to St. Louis he talks to Liz and they end up seeing each other some more. At this point Gavin has been willing to allow that he wants to try a real relationship with Liz. Liz doesn't think it'll last but once again is willing to take what she can get. Things are made more difficult by Mick. He hasn't forgiven Liz for what she did to them and is determined to make sure Gavin doesn't trust her. I can understand Mick's issues but after a while I do think he pushes it too far. Unfortunately Mick's attitude doesn't help when a conflict arises between Gavin and Liz. The drama is too much to spell out here but lets just say that Gavin suffers from a HUGE bout of relationship stupidity and messes up things bad. Like most idiotic heroes, he realizes just how wrong he was after he's already torn the heart out of the heroine and then he has to struggle to get her forgiveness.
I really liked the ending...Mick ended up coming around and forgiving Liz for their past issue and apologizing for his contributions to her and Gavin's issues. Gavin (after a few false starts) manages to get Liz to forgive him and I was happy they managed to work things out. I'm glad I ended up buying this book and am going on to the next in the series. This is a very good series. :D

Johnston City stranded eight runners in scoring position as Harrisburg did just enough to win its sixth game in as many tries with a 4-3 win over the Indians Thursday afternoon.
Junior southpaw Blake Buchanan pitched three-plus innings in relief of starter Justin Younger and sophomore Matthew Phipps earned the save for HHS.
The Indians tried to mount a rally in their last at-bat when Phipps got a groundout of left fielder Alan Montgomery to end the day with the go-ahead runs on base.
"We didn't have our best pitching today," Harrisburg coach Jay Thompson said. "Justin (Younger) scuffled, but he kept us close. Buchanan came in and was huge. He gave us about four strong innings, and Phipps came in and threw strikes at the end."
Harrisburg (6-0) saw itself trailing 2-1 heading into the bottom of the third inning when first baseman Cooper Thompson doubled in two runs to give his club its first lead of the day.
Two batters later, catcher Brady Mayer singled up the middle with two outs to push the Harrisburg lead to 4-2.
Johnston City (7-2-1) didn't have trouble getting runners on, but pushing them across was another story.
The Indians ended the third and sixth innings with multiple runners in scoring position.
Junior lefty Hunter Zeigler went the distance for Johnston City and struck out four. Zeigler had two hits and drove in a run at the plate.
Southern Illinois signee Austin McPheron went 1-for-3 for the Indians and flew out to deep right field to lead off the top of the seventh.
"We had two or three play of the day plays today," Thompson said. "Younger makes a couple of Willie Mays catches out there and Sykes (Thompson) caught a tough ball up against the fence. That's what we're getting right now. I still say we're going to hit. It's going to take us a couple of weeks, but we're going to hit fine. What I like is we are playing good defense and throwing strikes."
Harrisburg is slated to play at 11 Friday morning at Rent One Park against Vernon Hills and will then welcome Pleasant Plains out of the Springfield area to Dorris Heights around 11 Saturday morning.

The outflows from gold exchange-traded funds continues after a brief inflow last week, but things are looking different for silver.
Here, ETFs logged inflows of 119 tons, the highest single-day total since August, according to Commerzbank. Silver's price was still lower Tuesday in the slipstream of gold.
Wednesday morning in premarket trading, iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is down slightly, dropping 0.2% to $19.13. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) lost 1% on Tuesday to $119.70.
Meanwhile, the tone in the options market when it comes to the silver ETF has been more positive of late. Here's what Susquehanna Financial Group's derivatives strategists wrote on the subject Tuesday:
In the iShares Silver Trust, recent trading trends are visible again today and included the purchase of 75k Jan15 30/40 call spreads for $0.20 after 50k traded last week. SLV last traded at $30 nearly a year ago (Feb 2013) and the investors appear to be taking a shot that it will return to that level one year from now.

Residency Requirements for Voting
The Supreme Court decision of March 21, 1972, declared lengthy requirements for voting in state and local elections unconstitutional and suggested that 30 days was an ample period. Most of the states have changed or eliminated their durational residency requirements to comply with the ruling, as shown. Note, for all states, in order to register to vote, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen, a legal resident of the state, and 18 years old on or before election day. Additionally, most states do not permit an individual to vote if he or she is a convicted felon currently serving time in prison or has been declared mentally incompetent by a court of law.

Here is my problem. I installed a new tub and drain assembly. This is my first time doing something like this and they say you learn from mistakes. Well, I am learning A LOT.
So anyways, my drain assembly is leaking. The assembly is not easily accessible and I want to just caulk the seam that is leaking, but I can't reach it that easily. So my question is, is there some sort of nozzle I could use to get in there or is there a sealant of sort I could pour down the drain that would seal problem connection? Thanks in advance for any help.

Modest plans and expectations might lead to joy for online retailers.
Few phrases beyond "pitchers and catchers report" make me as giddy as "cautiously optimistic." As a reporter, I try to maintain an allergy to hype and excessive positive thinking. Expectations often fall flat, and so many game-changers end up changing nothing except the size of investors' bank accounts.
That's why the past few weeks have been positively joyful.
First came a series of reports about what the upcoming holiday shopping season might mean for online retailers. The E-tailing Group surveyed more than 250 e-retailers and found that while only 31% expected growth of 10% or more in holiday shopping, most did anticipate selling more products this year than last. "Respondents confirm that e-tailers have a cautious yet positive mindset and are prepared to meet the challenges ahead," said Lauren Freedman, president of the market research firm.
Other reports reinforced those expectations. Yesterday, Kantar Retail, a research and consulting firm, estimated that online holiday sales will increase 6% this year. Bold Software, which sells live chat services, released results of a survey of 171 e-commerce clients that found 65% expect gains in holiday sales, with 33% anticipating the same results as last year, and only 2% predicting a worse shopping season.
The brightest ray of sunshine piercing through the partly cloudy sky was the projection from stock analyst Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets. He foresees a 10% to 15% jump in e-retail sales this holiday season. I am rooting for him to be right. A strong holiday shopping season helps everyone.
Another dose of cautious optimism was offered this week just outside Dallas, at the annual conference held by Shop.org, the online retailing division of the National Retail Federation. I have attended dozens of conferences for various publications, and in so many of them it was far too easy to run into various executives and consultants doing their song and dance about The Next Big Thing.
But on two moderately cool autumn days, I listened to online retailers and online retailing experts discuss in a reasonable manner what is happening to this industry. Absent for the most part were bold, somewhat utopian predictions of how emerging technologies would perfect the shopping experience while funding a Jay Gatsby lifestyle for entrepreneurs.
For example, many of the speakers devoted time to social media and the prospects for social commerce—you know, turning Facebook, Twitter and their various competitors into a fountain of retail revenue. Few doubt that social media is changing, and will continue to change, how consumers shop. Facebook, after all, has half a billion users—half of whom check the site no less than once a day, according to one estimate—and retailers cannot ignore such a large collection of consumers.
Things often move slowly, however. Amid a retailer-dominated audience of more than 200, only one woman—who works for a Canada-based apparel firm—raised her hand when a moderator asked who had made money off of Facebook.
In that same session, Josh Himwich, who oversees e-commerce efforts for Diapers.com and Soap.com, set what I thought was a wonderful tone of realism when he advised retailers to forget about social commerce's return on investment, at least for the time being, and focus simply on how to make friends with consumers through a site such as Facebook. "It's about building up relationships," he said. "Without those, no social commerce will happen."
Himwich also offered a reminder about why people flock to Facebook when he said that consumers go there to socialize, not spend 20 minutes shopping. That's why Himwich wants to offer consumers on Facebook the ability to do what he called microtasks—in this case, making it possible, within two minutes, for customers on Facebook to buy products they regularly reorder, and then letting those shoppers get on with the work of catching up with friends, mothers-in-law and high-school sweethearts.
Sure, the microtask concept may be more difficult for retailers selling products not used every day for health and hygiene. But Himwich's comments represent the kind of cautious, anti-utopian thinking that could lead online retailers to a better place.

Lloyd, congrats on the upcoming retirement. The suspension and shocks sound like a good move. Your going to miss out on a fun time at Nationals. I'm looking forward to the mountain drives with all the other smarts. At last count there are 90 smarts (cars) signed up and that number is growing daily.
Hey Jill. Sure have missed you and your significant other. It seems that the club has come to a "halt" with your move. Yes, the Kumho's are good. I have installed them too. And, I have outfitted the Smart with B&G suspension springs with Bilstien shocks. I now don't feel the bottoming out I used to get with the stock setup. It did require a realignment of the front end due to a 1" drop all-around. No problem. It was done at a Firestone Center which has all of the data needed to service Smarts. Well, anyway, I don't think I'll make it for the Nationals. Still working, but I am about to totally retire. Done with this "time clock" thing. Take care and watch out for the "Tumble Weeds".
Anyone in Tulsa or Oklahoma planning to go the the 2013 Smart Nationals Convention and Car Show? https://smartcarnatls.com
This is going to be funfilled week of driving with other smarts, swapping stories with other smart owners, seeing how people from all over have modified their smarts, driving in the mountains, attending workshops and shopping the Smart Nationals Vendors. There will be a camper dealer, cruise controls for sale, and many more vendors and activities to participate in. Jim and I will be there with our smart and probably the camper in tow. https://smartcarnatls.com
Hey Tulsa Smartie's. We miss getting together with the Tulsa group. There are a few smarts here in Beaumont and we've made contact with one of them. We replaced our tires with Kumho's and are liking them.
Hey, you guys enjoy your time together. Remember, December 21, the end of the world. Just kidding. I went to the Kumous (sic) tires and there is a small improvement in ride. Road noise went away. Now to see how the wear goes.
I don't really think the group will continue. There is too much "daily lives" going on. I will, of course, support the Smart program as I believe that it is "one heck of a car"! I am waiting on the "Turbo" model. The Europeans don't support the turbo because of their higher octane fuel, of which we don't get. But, they do recommend that the "Americans" get it due to their lessor government regulated octane fuels. Hmm, are we now a "second world nation?". Take care and best wishes.
Thanks Lloyd we will miss the drives with you and the others. I'm sorry I didn't get more drives scheduled this summer. It was a busy one with Jim working 6 to 7 days a week. Hopefully someone will take over and start planning some get togethers.
Sorry to see you great people go. You have been a great couple to be with. Best wishes. Tell Jim that the module that he recommended is working great. I also just installed Kumhos and like them. Take care.
Aww Alex, we'll miss you. Remember, don't worry about the toll booths, they don't take "smart" bucks. (Sic)
I won't be able to make it, I'm afraid. I'll be driving back from Florida. And yes, I'm driving the smart car!
