Panel Panic! is a puzzle game for your Windows Phone that has a little bit of a Bejeweled flavor to it with a touch of Tetris. You have colored squares that you are trying to shuffle about to create a combo of three or more of the same color. As you play the game, the columns rise from the bottom adding more squares to the mix.
As you create the combos, the squares dissolve and you earn points. Panel Panic! has four game modes and it's a very enjoyable, challenging game for your Windows Phone.
The main menu for Panel Panic! presents you with the four game modes. They are as follows:
Panic!: A time trial mode is a two minute game where you compete against other players to score as many points as possible before the clock strikes zero. Scores are then compared online and players ranked.
Endless: The Endless mode has no time limits. You just rack up as many points as possible before the columns reach the top of the screen. The longer you survive, the faster the columns rise.
Time Trial: Race against a 1, 2, or 5 minute clock to see how many points you can score.
Puzzle: You are presented with a set of squares that you have to move about to eliminate all the squares. The faster you solve the puzzle, the better your score. As soon as you solve the puzzle, a new one is generated.
Additionally, if you swipe left or right from the main menu you can access the game's tutorial, about screen, and settings. Panel Panic!'s settings covers muting the sound.
To play Panel Panic! you can move the squares horizontally by either swapping them with the adjacent square or just dropping off a column down to the adjacent column. Squares are moved about to create the combos of three or more of the same color. You can create multiple combos for bonus points.
At the end of the Endless, Time Trial and Puzzle Modes your score will be submitted to an online leaderboard.
All in all, Panel Panic! is an entertaining game that is well suited for short periods or longer marathon gaming sessions. Endless, Time Trial and Puzzle modes each have three difficulty levels so if the game gets too easy, you can always play at a higher level.
There are two versions of Panel Panic! available in the Windows Phone Store. There is Panel Panic! Free which is ad-supported and Panel Panic! which is ad-free and runs $.99. If you're looking for a fun puzzle game for your Windows Phone Panel Panic! is worth checking out.
Review: NASCAR Heat 5 is still the complete package for fans
It's not long since NASCAR Heat 4 arrived, or at least, that's how it seems, with the new title arriving much earlier in the year than its predecessor. It's got some shiny new paint jobs and some neat new features, but many would be hard pressed to tell it apart from last year's game.

An Air Force officer who led the branch's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response unit has been charged with groping a woman in a northern Virginia parking lot, authorities said Monday.
His arrest underscored the urgent problem of sexual assault in the military, as the Pentagon prepared to release its annual report Tuesday. That report is expected to show an alarming rise in the number of people anonymously saying they have been the victim of unreported assaults, NBC News reported.
Arlington County Police said Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski of Arlington faces a misdemeanor charge of sexual battery following an alleged assault about 12:30 a.m. Sunday in the Crystal City area of the county.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
A police report says that the 41-year-old Krusinski was drunk and grabbed a woman's breast and buttocks. Police say the woman fought him off and called police.
Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck says Krusinski did not know the woman involved.
Susie Doyle, a spokeswoman for the Arlington County Sheriff's Office, said Krusinski was released Sunday on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond. An arraignment is scheduled for Thursday.
A working phone number for Krusinski could not be found Monday and court records did not list an attorney.
Air Force spokeswoman Natasha Waggoner said Krusinski was removed from his post in the sexual assault unit after the Air Force learned of his arrest. He started in the post in February.
An Air Force website says the "Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program reinforces the Air Force's commitment to eliminate incidents of sexual assault through awareness and prevention training, education, victim advocacy, response, reporting and accountability."
The website continues: "Sexual assault is criminal conduct. It falls well short of the standards America expects of its men and women in uniform."

The Boulder County Drug Task Force has made an arrest in connection with a U.S. Department of Homeland Security investigation into a suspected drug smuggling operation at the Boulder Municipal Airport, officials revealed Tuesday.
Kim Stewart, a Boulder police detective commander who oversees part of the task force, said that officers arrested an adult male on Saturday evening in connection with the federal drug investigation.
While she declined to release the man's name or other details about the ongoing investigation, jail records show only one arrest by the Boulder County Drug Task Force on Saturday.
Carl Steven Gruber, 45, was arrested Saturday night by the task force and booked on suspicion of possessing 5 to 100 pounds of marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. His bond has been set at $25,000.
Gruber is due in court at 2 p.m. Wednesday. Aside from his arrest on Saturday, he does not have a criminal record in Colorado, according to a search of records with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
Gruber remains in the Boulder County Jail and declined an interview request Tuesday.
Federal Aviation Administration records show Gruber is a licensed pilot. Boulder officials said they have no records of Gruber leasing space or paying for overnight aircraft parking at the airport.
Stewart said that the drug task force became involved with the case on Saturday after officials with Homeland Security requested local assistance at the airport. She said that federal investigators on Tuesday handed control of the case over to the task force.
Police have refused to release a report taken at the airport on Saturday afternoon in which officers provided an "outside agency assist."
Carl Rusnok, a spokesman with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement public affairs office in Dallas, said Tuesday that the operation had been a joint effort between the ICE Homeland Security Investigations division and the Boulder County Drug Task Force.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is the principal investigative arm of Homeland Security.
Rusnok classified the case as an "ongoing drug smuggling investigation," but declined to provide additional information.
Stanley Marks, a Denver defense attorney who specializes in state and federal cases involving drug trafficking, interstate trafficking and smuggling, said he thinks the few details made public so far in the Boulder investigation point to a potentially larger operation than a single suspect.
"If I had to guess, this is small part of something large," he said.
Marks said that anytime federal authorities use the term "drug smuggling" it usually means the case is substantial and likely involves other suspects and possibly a state or federal wire tap.
He also noted that it's not unusual for ICE to become involved in federal drug investigations, regardless of whether suspects involved have questionable immigration status.
An agent with Homeland Security searched Hangar 3355 on Monday afternoon with the help of a drug-sniffing K-9 unit from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office.
At least four airplanes and five vehicles were visible Monday through an opening in the hangar, which is located on the southeast side of the airport.
Stewart, the police commander, said that police moved an airplane that's part of the investigation into the hangar for inspection. The plane is not normally stored there, she said.
Of the four aircraft that could be seen inside the hangar, two had visible tail numbers that are registered to the Soaring Society of Boulder. Those planes normally are stored in the hangar, according to club members.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of US & ISAF forces in Afghanistan painted a grim picture of the situation in Afghanistan in his "leaked" assessment to Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates. Among other things, he indicated that the overall situation is deteriorating and a "crisis of confidence" existed among the Afghans that undermines US and ISAF credibility. McChrystal called for a short-term deployment of additional US troops in Afghanistan.
In addition, in a section entitled "External Influences", McChrystal wrote about India's role in Afghanistan — something that has had our media in coils the past couple of days:
Indian political and economic influence is increasing in Afghanistan, including significant development efforts and financial investment. [I]ncreasing Indian influence in Afghanistan is likely to exacerbate regional tensions and encourage Pakistani countermeasures in Afghanistan or India.
Ever ready to jump the gun, members of our media took umbrage with the assessment. In an article titled "US sees rising Indian influence in Afghanistan as problem", Siddharth Varadarajan opines:
In the clearest statement to date of Washington's reservations about the rising Indian economic and political profile in Afghanistan, the top American general… said India's increasing influence… "is likely to exacerbate regional tensions". Though the McChrystal report falls short of prescribing that India scale back its presence in Afghanistan, the implication is clear:…India should realise its assistance to Afghanistan might provoke Islamabad into taking "countermeasures".
Varadarajan's arguments are lethargic and draw conclusions based on misinterpretations of McChrystal's assessment. First, nothing in the report or in public domain indicates that Washington is unhappy with India's role in Afghanistan. India's current involvement includes funding and construction of large infrastructural projects (such as the "Nimroz-Chabahar" highway and the "Salma Dam" power project), aid, rural development and training the Afghan police force. If McChrystal means what he says, then he should have no problem with India's role in bringing development and stability to Afghanistan.
Second, Pakistani "countermeasures" to India's involvement in Afghanistan is a pretty strange threat. Unconventional warfare against India is Pakistan's modus operandi. It began as early as 1947 when Kashmir was flooded with armed Afridi tribesmen, as a precursor to the 1947 war and has only grown in size, mandate and state involvement over the years. So Pakistan threatening to use something that it uses against India anyway, just because it dislikes India's growing influence in Afghanistan is meaningless.
Third, even as McChrystal submitted his assessment to Sec Gates, a major rethink is under way in the Obama administration on Af-Pak, with many in the civilian administration against the idea of deploying additional troops. They instead favor a combination of "negotiating" with the Taliban and increasing Drone assaults in Pakistan to disrupt al-Qaeda and Taliban elements. As The Filter Coffee previously pointed out, the apparatus for such a strategy has been slowing taking shape in Pakistan over the past few months.
The Obama administration wants to craft a way forward in Afghanistan based on an approach that will incorporate "soft power" along with cold, hard military strategy. Upon learning of the leak, the Pentagon clarified that McChrystal's assessment was only one of the many inputs that make up this reassessment. Therefore, McChrystal's assessment, even in its misinterpreted state, is hardly Holy Writ.
Fourth, India cannot afford to be in Afghanistan due to, or despite American disposition towards its involvement. As a regional power, India must continue to engage with Afghanistan on social, economic and political development. India's calculations on the extent of its involvement in Afghanistan must be based on its strategic and national interests and not on the whims of other nations or veiled threats from its adversaries.
When the US leaves the region in the not-too-distant future, the cross of Afghanistan must be borne by regional powers like India and Iran, both of which share largely convergent views on the nation. Insofar as India's involvement in Afghanistan is concerned, its efforts have contributed positively to the development of the nation. If America wants to leave Afghanistan as a (relatively) stable and functioning nation, India's assistance is imperative and further Indian engagement must be encouraged. The US can fight the war in Afghanistan, but is going to find it impossible to withdraw from Afghanistan on its own terms without India.

The same year my mother was diagnosed with the blood disease that would eventually kill her–Myelodysplasia–my husband, Martin, also learned he had tonsilar cancer.
My mother had been my only parent since my father's sudden death from a heart attack, at the age of fifty-one, when I was only nineteen.
For a quarter-century, my husband had been my soul mate, best friend, and lover.
When it rains, it pours.
That was also a year in which I was "between publishers," as we say. In other words, I didn't know if a publisher would ever take a chance on one of my novels.
I found some solace, in reading.
I stuck with the classics, one of which was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Her exemplary turn of phrase was exactly what I needed at the time, as well as the lightness that comes with the comic machinations of a mother who is trying to marry off five daughters. When two wealthy gentleman come to town, all bets are off. The plot if filled with girls behaving badly, cads behaving odiously, sisters and brothers behaving nobly, and more than a touch of scandal.
In other words, really good stuff.
What makes Pride and Prejudice more than a good book–in fact, a great book– is the author's ability to reveal true depth in her characters; to expose their flaws and weaknesses, and yet allow them to redeem (or expose) themselves with their actions.
This book celebrates its two-hundredth anniversary next year. Its status as classic is secured for eternity because human nature hasn't changed one iota. As in the book, our pride keeps us from admitting when we are wrong, and our prejudices of complete strangers or mere acquaintances are formed by gossip, or bad first impressions.
No one is perfect, and yet "perfection" is a standard in which we judge others, waiting for them to prove us right for being wary of them.
So, when we have our own fall from grace, why do we internalize it as a "comeuppance"? Do you really believe you deserved such trials and tribulations?
Well, you don't.
You deserve a happy, satisfying well-lived life.
I guess it's true what they say: what doesn't kill you (or your loved ones) only makes you stronger.
So that I wasn't consumed by worry, that year I followed a whimsical goal: Iwrote the libretto for a musical version of Pride and Prejudice. I convinced Rita Abrams, a friend who also happens to be an Emmy-winning composer and musical composer, to collaborate with me on it.
Rita's wordplay and harmonies are phenomenal. I invite you to check out some of it. In It is a Truth, the two wealth bachelors bemoan money's role in marriage. In Assembly Ball Buzz, a dance provides the perfect petri dish for innuendo and passion. In Being Married, two characters who have "settled" for the imperfect mate sing as to why that has in fact provided them comfort they'd hoped for.
Working on it with Rita was some of the most fun I've had. It saved me from an abyss of fear.
Sadly, my mother died within eighteen months of her prognosis.
God answered one prayer: that my husband's cancer be caught in situ.
It took three operations to validate this. If his remission holds this year, his odds of it showing back up are the same as you or I getting slammed with it.
A year later I signed with a new publisher, for two more books.
This winter, Pride and Prejudice – The Musical will be produced in London, by the Ruislip Operatic Society. I'll be sure to keep you informed of the dates and venue, as soon as they are publicly announced.
Rita and I will be there, as will Martin.You can't imagine how happy I am to be able to share this milestone with him.
The way I see it, you can curse your fate, or count your blessings.
I do the latter.
Of the three songs I've linked to in my post, which one do you like best? Post one line of lyric, and you'll be eligible to win an audio CD demo of the songs from PRIDE AND PREJUDICE — THE MUSICAL, autographed by me.

Here's a pic of the wind damage to the maple.
You can also see the gutter damage top left. I used my little Black & Decker chainsaw to clear the patio near the door so the dogs (and us) can get out to the backyard. That little sucker looks like a toy but it does the job! A tree service is coming in the morning to look at the maple and we'll decided if it comes totally down or just trim the crap out of it.
According to the rain Gage we got 5 inches but I think it was more as it tilted a bit from the wind. There was some minor flooding of roads all around us but nothing too bad.
I'm putting a chicken in the oven right now, didn't think we'd be able to but the power came back 4 hours quicker than Ameren said it would.May the FORCE be with you!

The friend who my brother is staying with in Houston got his power back yesterday, so that's good.
He's going to get on the Island today...another guy from his unit got out there yesterday and informed him that while his car is still where he parked it at the unit, apparently there is major water damage to all of the personal vehicles that were parked there. The other guy was parked next to him and couldn't get his car started at all so there's not much hope for my brother's car.
He'll swing by his apartment and get his uniforms and civvies that can be salvaged (his dress uniforms are toast for sure), take them to his friend's house and launder them. A few days of being damp shouldn't damage most of it. I'm encouraging him to NOT stay on the island until power and water are restored, but he's a stubborn (and heavily-armed) guy and may try to do it.
His guess is a month or 6 weeks before he'll be able to get back in his apartment - but they're telling residents of the island that it may be a month before power is back on for everyone, so I don't know how realistic that is. His insurance company should provide him with funds for temporary housing but there's no way he'll find a Residence Inn or something similar with an open room within 2 hours of Galveston (he has to be able to get to his unit within 2 hours, once they go back to work). He might be crashing at friends' places for a while.
:D He was joking that maybe, just maybe he can get a FEMA trailer.
Have heard from most of our family and friends in Houston area. They have generators (they're big hunters and don't chance losing meat). Still haven't contacted a friend in Elkins Lake.
some good reports about the help but also some complaints about how long till the FEMA folks arrived. One complained about Osteen's church and I didn't pay attention until I read this at Wizbang:
Lakewood Church is a fraud. While many area churches made sure to find their members in need and try to help, once again the richest church in Houston has focused its efforts on ... selling books and tapes!This is bigger than presidential politics. This is a battle for America.
Here's a couple of pics of our tree now that it's been cut WAY back!
Lots more sun going to get to the patio and lawn! :DMay the FORCE be with you!

Melting snow can bring spring flooding
Be prepared, says PIANJ
TRENTON, N.J.–As the winter snow melts and the spring months deliver frequent rain, floods are one of the most common natural disasters. With very few exceptions, a household or business needs to get flood insurance from the National Flood Insurance Plan, advises Professional Insurance Agents of New Jersey Inc. Winter run off, heavy rains and water backup due to overloaded drainage systems have caused thousands of dollars of damages to homes and businesses. Unfortunately, too many people find out too late that their business, homeowners or renters insurance policy does not cover flooding. Year after year, flooding is not only more common, it is more devastating.
"Many people dont realize they are not covered for floods unless theyve purchased a separate flood insurance policy," says PIANJ President William Vowteras, CPIA. "The National Flood Insurance Program offers flood insurance at federally subsidized, premium rates, which is available through your independent insurance agent."
"People in high-risk flood areas are not the only people who need flood insurance, Vowteras points out. "In fact, approximately 25 percent of all flood insurance claims come from areas that are not considered high risk. Keep in mind, flooding can occur any place at any time."
Vowteras urges all home and business owners to contact their professional, independent insurance agent to help determine if they need flood insurance. A 30-day waiting period exists between the time the flood insurance is purchased and the time the coverage goes into effect, although that waiting period may be waived for lender-required flood insurance," continued Vowteras, who stresses that waiting until the next storm warning to purchase flood insurance is dangerous, since coverage probably will not begin in time.
PIANJ also offers the following tips to help prepare for a flood:
- Listen for storm warnings and follow evacuation procedures.
- If a severe storm is predicted, its a good idea to board windows, shut off utilities and store outside items inside to prevent damage.
- Keep an emergency kit handy as well as food and water, a portable can opener, clothing, blankets, flashlights, extra batteries, first-aid supplies, cell phone and a battery-operated radio in case you are left without electricity.
Most importantly, contact your professional insurance agent to get the coverage you need to protect your family and your business from the devastation flooding can cause.
PIANJ is a trade association representing professional, independent insurance agencies, brokerages and their employees throughout the state.

Since the releases of both "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland," it's become clear that 3D movies are not only here to stay, but that they've brought the movie business up to a whole new stratosphere of profitability. With these recent grosses, it feels like when the NBA finally instituted a shot clock. There could quickly come a day when $400 million grosses are routine, and the mind-blowing success of "Avatar" is somehow topped.
There is no shortage of movies ready to capitalize on this new paradigm, and the biggest one on the horizon, undoubtedly, is Pixar's "Toy Story 3," which hits theaters June 18 in full 3D. Imagine that. The storytelling power of Pixar united with the immersion effects of James Cameron. It's gonna be a behemoth, and Nicole Sperling of Entertainment Weekly, who saw a rough cut of the movie recently, says the movie deserves hype:
The film is great. Not only do the latest adventures of Buzz Lightyear and Cowboy Woody maintain the high quality that we're used to seeing with Pixar movies, but this one is also exceptionally emotional. I was surrounded by a group of adults and there were many tears shed throughout the film.
Again with the tears. Could Pixar, for once, make a movie that doesn't reduce me to a blubbering pile of jelly? I can be spectacularly entertained without being emotionally traumatized, you know.
Anyway, it looks like Pixar has yet another winner on its hands. More important, it will now have 3D on its side, AND the return of Woody, Buzz, the big green T-Rex (my personal favorite), and the whole beloved "Toy Story" universe going for it as well. Best reserve a ticket NOW. This one will be huge.

Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef
eef from grass fed cattle has recently grown in popularity and "grass fed" is something of a buzz-word in the foodie community. But what exactly does "grass fed" imply, and what can you expect from a "grass fed" cattle?
Grass-fed beef comes from cattle that are allowed to graze in open pastures. Using a system know as rotational grazing, farmers direct their herd using lightweight wire fencing called polywire. The cattle are able to amble and eat grass to their content. Allowing cattle to eat grass is important because they are ruminants, meaning their digestive systems are designed to process grasses. Cows have a specialized organ called a rumen, which harbors beneficial microbes which convert the cellulose fibers in grass into essential nutrients. In this way, the grass fed process presents a totally natural method to raise cattle.
America is known for producing fatty beef. In addition to the grasses that cattle naturally eat, the majority of ranchers in the United States use grains like corn and soy to feed the cattle in the last months.Grains are high in protein and starch, which fatten up the cattle, yielding a more marbled meat than grass feeding alone. This is why the taste and texture of grass-fed beef may seem firmer and leaner to those accustomed to eating grain-fed beef
It is not just the amount of fat, but the type of fat that distinguishes grass-fed beef from grain-fed. Studies suggest that grass feeding may be a way for farmers to optimize the levels of Omega-3 fatty acids in their beef. Scientists believe that Omega-3's may be able to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular illnesses, although more research is needed to corroborate these claims.
An important point to note is that the grains used in conventional beef production often lack important nutrients that grasses provide. The difference is in the root structures of the plants. Grains are annual crops whose roots do not extend deep beneath the surface. On the other hand, the perennial grasses that grass-fed cattle graze on establish deep roots, which are able to cycle in minerals like calcium, magnesium and iodine that reside deep beneath the ground. These nutrients are passed on to the steer and can be found in the beef that consumers eat.
But there are other reasons to get excited about the grass feeding process, especially in regard to its potential positive impacts on the environment. Beef production is a substantial contributor to the United States' overall green house gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane. While it is true that grass feeding cattle yields more methane overall than grain feeding, the ability of grasses to sequester green house gasses in the soil results in a net reduction of emissions. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, a well managed pasture could reduce the amount of methane produced by 15-30 per cent.
D'Artagnan offers the best of both worlds: 100% grass-fed beef, as well as grain-finished beef, raised on pasture land. None of our beef cattle have been subjected to antibiotics, hormones and the animal by-products that are all too common in contemporary meat production, nor have they spent time in crowded feed lots.

MONTREAL – The road to Brazil 2014 will be long, but if a national team takes one step forward but two steps back, it'll seem even longer.
Canada are in that situation as they get set to host CONCACAF rivals Honduras in a friendly Tuesday night here at Stade Saputo.
Stephen Hart's side showed signs of promise in the first half of a 2-0 loss to Peru last Saturday in Toronto. Stretches of good passing and possession were punctuated with good individual performances from the likes of youngsters Simeon Jackson and Adam Straith.
But penetration, finishing and execution in the final two-thirds of the field were woeful. Defensive play wasn't much better, especially in the second half.
In the end, Canada committed two defensive mistakes in a short timeframe. Peru, who finished last in South American qualifying for this past summer's World Cup and hadn't played a competitive match since last September, scored on both opportunities.
Adding to the breakdowns, Hart was disappointed in the poor showing of Canadian support.
Perhaps exhibiting a "results first, support later" mentality, Canadian fans stayed away. A mostly pro-Peruvian crowd of 10,619 in a half-empty BMO Field made the game feel like it was in Lima.
Hart gave some credit to the Canadian fan contingency on Saturday – including the ever-present Voyageurs supporters group – but noted, "It was still a huge Peruvian crowd there as well. I guess that's something we have to live with in multicultural Canada."
Support may be better against Honduras, who are coming off a shootout win over Central American rivals El Salvador in Los Angeles.
After conceding a late goal that pulled El Salvador even at two, Honduran goalkeeper Noel Valladares came up big, stopping two penalties to give los Catrachos the Copa Independencia.
Honduras have had Canada's number of late, winning twice in World Cup qualifying in 2008 and then again in the quarterfinals of the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup. However, this is a new-look Honduras squad with only five players from the 2010 World Cup squad on the roster.
Honduras' winless performance at the 2010 World Cup forced Reinaldo Rueda to step down on July 28 and Juan de Dios Castillo to take over on an interim basis through the end of the Copa Centroamericano in January.
"It's a new coach, [and] there are a couple of players that I thought would be with the squad but are not," Hart said Friday before the Peru game. "They have a very good midfield and forward line. So, I don't really know what to expect. This coach has never had a game with them."
Despite the new coach and the new faces, Canada will have to contend with Honduras' usual strengths – speed, quick attacks and offensive ability. Hart won't have striker Dwayne De Rosario, midfielder Julian de Guzman and defender Nana Attakora, who were excused from the Honduras game to rejoin Toronto FC.
Tuesday's match comes exactly two years and a day after a memorable World Cup qualifier between the two nations that saw Honduras come from behind in the second half to down Canada 2-1. That helped propel Honduras to the Hexagonal, and it put the death knell in Canada's World Cup qualifying hopes.

I manage a virtual office and our staff uses both SSH keys and passwords for authentication. If one of our staff forgets his password, is there a way to encrypt a temporary password using his public RSA ssh key so I can send it to him via e-mail?
I've seen other questions related to this one, however the "answers" generally recommend against using the public/private SSH keys to perform general encryption/decryption and do not actually state if this is possible. I would like to know if it is indeed possible and what are the steps to encrypt and then decrypt the password.

Vice President Joe Biden met with Mayor Bloomberg and families from Newtown, Conn., Thursday to talk about the need for new federal gun laws as advocates slam Senate Democrats' decision to drop an assault weapons ban from the gun-control package they plan to consider next month.
The vice president, mayor and families of some of the 20 first-graders and six educators slain by a gunman wielding an assault-style weapon at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December gathered at City Hall to urge lawmakers to "pull together here and stop this carnage," the mayor said.
"That weapon of war has no place on American streets, and taking it off America's streets has no impact on one's constitutional right to own a weapon," Biden said.
U.S. & World
Biden and Bloomberg have met several times since the massacre at Newtown as the vice president sought to develop a cohesive set of gun control proposals to deliver to President Barack Obama, who created a task force to curb gun deaths in the aftermath of the shooting.
The legislative package Biden developed includes the assault weapons ban, universal federal background checks and limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the assault weapon ban would not be included in the gun-control package to be put before legislators because it lacked the votes to pass.
"For all those who say we shouldn't and can't ban assault weapons, for all those who say the politics is too hard -- how can they say that, when you take a look at those 20 beautiful babies and what happened to them and those six teachers and administrators," Biden said.
Neil Heslin, whose 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis was among those "beautiful babies" who died in the Newtown school shooting, agreed with Biden.
"There needs to be a change," Heslin said. "There needs to be a ban on assault weapons."
Chris and Lynn McDonnell, who lost their 7-year-old daughter Grace in the massacre, called on legislators to accelerate passage of the ban.
"We know about loss. We ask everyone who has power to influence legislation in this area and those who jobs it is to vote on that legislation to ask themselves if they are doing enough," Lynn McDonnell said.
Biden and Obama have walked a fine line on the assault weapons ban, widely considered the most politically challenging element of the gun-control proposals the administration is pushing. While fully embracing the ban as a matter of policy, the administration has avoided describing it as a must-have, wary of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Instead, they've argued that at the very least the ban deserves a vote, even if political considerations ultimately place its passage out of reach.
Gun-control advocates have insisted on the ban after Adam Lanza used an assault-style weapon in the Sandy Hook massacre, galvanizing a national discussion about efforts to curb gun violence.
But staunch opposition from the National Rifle Association and other groups has underscored the political risks for lawmakers who support the measures, and Democrats are eager to pass whatever they can before Americans lose interest in the issue and the window to act closes.
It was that sentiment that led Reid, D-Nev., to drop the ban from the bill the Senate plans to debate in April. But Biden has insisted that the ban's failure is not a foregone conclusion. He pointed to the original, 10-year assault weapons ban that Congress passed in 1994, noting that it too had been written off long before it eventually was adopted.
