Open Thread: How Would You Rate Media Coverage of the Newtown Shooting?
It's your turn to share your thoughts on the media's coverage of the nation's latest mass shooting.
In the immediate aftermath of the shootings at an elementary school in Newtown, CT some people thought the news media coverage of the event was overkill, if not completely invasive.
There was criticism of cable TV networks for interviewing kids coming out of the school following the massacre, and incorrect information was reported in the hours immediately following the news breaking.
But others argue that it's the job of the news media to be aggressive in telling these stories, and that the misinformation was only the results of erroneous information provide by officials.
How would you rate the media coverage of the of the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings? Tell us in comments.

When a naked person runs across a baseball field they don't show it so that copycats have less incentive to try it. The media does not do that with shootings (maybe have a month long cool down before posting every detail of the shooter's life). Instead, they give the shooters the attention and glory they crave so much.
If the media was any other industry, they'd be calling for strict government regulation of themselves. That's the truth.

He wasn't naked as reported he had on dark blue or black shorts. He was better dressed than the perception deficient youths today who look like they are wearing a lot of feces in the oversized shorts.
The reaction to Newtown is so overblown my immediate reaction is that it's a fraud, top to bottom. This wouldn't be the first time this has happened in this country.
The broadcast media, which shows children nothing but illustrations of how to lie, cheat, and commit violence in all manner of programming is largely to blame. Any person who plays call of duty incessantly and has a loose grip in reality, as well as easy access to weapons, is a bomb with a burning fuse.
Why should we be surprised? The media is out of control. But... this did knock the Fiscal Cliff off the front page for a while.
Some of the deranged youths hearing this, has stated that they want to go out breaking Lanza's record. What can you expect?
By the way, I watch the crime shows detailing murder investigations and marvel at the fact that I've been at many of the crime sites. A woman in Florida, who in her egoism was speeding and killed two children in her car and claimed no responsibility is a prime example of the mindset of people that I see in Bel Air daily.
They don't believe laws apply to them. The speed, run lights and signs, and throw lighted cigarettes (which have killed hundreds of people) out of their windows.
That is what the media is doing, throwing fire onto tinder.
4:25 pm on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
I think the coverage was over the top, but it ususally is. We don't have the need to know all the minute details while the story is still unfolding. I especially dislike the microphone in the face practice. These people had a need for privacy and for the most part, the media stole that from them. I tend to rely on PBS Newshour for balanced coverage without sensationalism. When they use on scene segments, it's to illustrate aspects of a story, not to buy ratings.

No, in the wake of media guilt over their biased coverage of George Zimmerman's righteous killing of Trayvon Martin this is an escalation of extremism by the media.
The fierceness of their immediate onslaught was far worse than the universal coverage of John F Kennedy's assassination. It strikes me that this was planned in advance. I find myself doubting that this incident happened at all in the same way that some people think that WTC was a domestic operation. There are a couple of smoking guns, such as Video that shows one of the airplanes was NOT a 757. (I don't share the conspiracy theories on this)
Local media is playing up the shooting in Perry Hall. They fail to mention that the student holding the gun was threatening others due to bullying, and the gun fired at the moment he was tackled by the teacher, which makes the teacher responsible for the shooting as well.
Just watch the film Halloween, and you can see where the mentality of a lot of these killers may have come from. Fortunately few of them sink into that level of fantasy. Some, like Lanza may even be thinking they are playing a Video Game.
Ultimately, already in fact, the media is gong to blame Lanza's mother for what happened. They are already calling her a "Gun Nut." There are thousands of parents with children just as sick and who are just as dangerous.
The Media's decades long anti-gun bias and their ignorance will help perpetuate the problem. Media is a cause not a solution.
4:33 pm on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
I shudder to think what the coverage of this incident was like overseas.
11:38 am on Thursday, December 20, 2012
When Satellite TV was still free and uncensored I saw bodies of an entire family machined gunned and set on fire on regular news casts from Guatemala. Mexican TV was very graphic. I saw that woman killed in Miami with 11 shots to the head.
European coverage has been well reasoned and presented. Some Europeans still think we live like the Wild West, but the educated people do not.
In France this week a Psychiatrist was given a 1 YEAR PRISON sentence for failing to report on of her patients who was dangerous. He ran out of a session and three weeks later killed someone.
Europe has seen far worse in school killings, even with massively more restrictive laws. The UK constables have had to be armed after many decades of having peaceful criminals surrender. They are now having huge problems with African immigrants who commit the types of atrocities we see, same in France, the Netherlands and Germany.
Australia, a place I would not visit, has had a massive increase in violent crimes after they put a total gun ban in effect. There were hundreds of people injured by Sarin Nerve Gas in Japan. And we do so bombings all over the world.
The massive increases in crime taking place in the USA today, may be the result of our "body count" emphasis along with too many autopsy results shown daily on TV in most of the popular programs, like NCIS, CSI, and the sex crimes in Law & Order SVU, Criminal Minds and incessant films with thousands of fired rounds of ammo.

Regardless of their concerned faces, the mainstream media loves this stuff. It gets them attention and boosts their advertising dollars. They will beat every aspect of this tragedy to death to wring every bit of profit they can out of it. I find it particularly interesting that "Entertainment Tonight" has the need to do stories about the Sandy Hook shootings. Do they consider this "Entertainment"?
11:54 am on Thursday, December 20, 2012
Media coverage of such crimes increases crimes of that same type. There were several who copied Columbine. There were children stealing guns to take to school after Newtown claiming they are afraid and want to protect themselves (which in one case was a false justification).
Incessant images of violence, even if it's the evening news, promotes violence.
5:16 pm on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing,no matter what the event that's covered there are always those who will somehow turn it to their advantage.People hear,but I don't think they take the time to listen.All this information and disinformation creates parrots,not thinkers.All the time people want to talk the talk with no consideration for the people who have to walk the walk.We have no statesmen,only media manipulators.I'm sorry to say my heroes have passed on,good luck with yours.People are so busy watching other people live their lives they are forgetting to live their own.

The media does a great job in letting you know fast that something is going on. But with 24/7 cable news, there is just too much time to fill so false information and speculation soon begin to seep in. Interviewing children was disgusting. Newspapers (the physical items) are still the best as I think the reporters have time to think about what they are writing. Not so much with cable news.

Here is a very informed opinion:

Saturation. Initially, I heard about it and then had no desire to continue to listen.
The media always has an agenda in the broadcast and yes it is playing out;
more gun control. Look at the city of Chicago. They have the most severe gun
control laws and the have the most shootings of any city in America.

I, for one, chose not to watch as much coverage as I might on lesser emotionally charged stories. It was painful for anyone to witness the accounts whether they were interviews, news conferences or simply a replay of the horrible events. What is disturbing to me, however, is how elected officials and pundits could not resist using this tragedy to promote their partisan political agendas and ideologies even before those poor lifeless bodies were put to rest. And, of course, a partisan media was quick to oblige their promotion a well. A free media, however, is necessary, and essential in this country. We may not always agree with their coverage and it may seem disgusting at times, but like every right guaranteed us in the Constitution, it is more important than ever to resist the implementation of laws (i.e. "Fairness Act", "Gun Control", "Patriot Act") that are based on rare incidences that deeply offend our senses and our culture at the time.

well, I for one, am sick of the horrific way journalists have acted throughout this whole terrible incident. Stupid questions being asked like "well how do you feel about that?" How uncaring, unfeeling can these journalists be sticking a microphone in someone's face and asking that type question? I finally turned the TV off after a short time watching the coverage; it was appalling. And the newscasters speculating on this and that. They didn't even have correct information most of the time and were still spouting off about what took place. I think all of them ought to get out of town, leave the families and residents alone, and re-evaluate how they could and should handle terrible situations such as this {but praying it would not happen again}. Try, even if it's only for a few minutes, to contemplate how they would feel having a microphone shoved in their face and asked "well how do you feel?"

The more the media plays on the fact that it was a "mental release" on the shooters part the more it opens up the possibility of copycats. It was a tragic event that should have never happened. Too many errors entered into the equation from the mother putting guns in the house to not monitoring his previous actions. The signs were there and they don't just go away. The parents are going through a very hard time especially during the holiday season. Support is what the community needs not more media coverage. You can be sure there are people out there with mental issues who are " also" following the coverage. In their mind the killer is the "poster Boy " for resolving problems because of the extensive media coverage. Put more emphasis on targeting potential problems which is everyones responsibility, not only the police departments.Can't imagine the thoughts going through the parents minds when they were notified.. Every parent hoped their child wasn't a victim.In one way they all were, having to go through that ordeal. We can all hope preventive measures will be put in place ( by whatever means ) so this never happens again.
9:44 am on Thursday, December 20, 2012
Tough call. I think it irresponsible at best for the media to interview the children as they did. But someone allowed them to do that. The RUSH to report is an issue. Releasing the incorrect name of the shooter (and I know they said they got it from authorities) is a problem - a big problem. The rush to get all your "big name talking heads" to the scene is questionable too. And I understand that the people in town have repeatedly said its time for the media to go home. But that is being ignored. I am not sure my "right to know" covers cameras at the funerals of these babies - especially when the families have asked for it not to happen.

In regards to the kiddie interviews: NBC stated on air that:
1. "We will not seekout the families of the victims. If they wish to be intrerviewed, they should contact us.
2. No first responders will be interviewed for obvious reasons.

The media, especially TV, milked the shooting for all the pathos they could find. Don't get me wrong - it was a terrible and tragic event, and certainly deserved full coverage, but for several days TV ignored just about everyfhing else in the world (except Hilary's flu/fall and Kate's reappearance in public). And it was perfectly obvious that they were setting things up to push for gun bans/control, so that only the government is armed and the people are helpless against it. You CAN'T prevent people from doing crazy and stupid things. One thing they don't seem to have covered is whether Lanza was on some medication, like most of the other mass shooters recently.
12:07 pm on Thursday, January 3, 2013
It was reported when the police found the mother's body they searched the house and said there were no medications found at the home.
4:51 pm on Wednesday, January 9, 2013
You mean "Like ALL the past mass shooters". Every single one of the past mass shooters in this decade was under the influence of one or more doctor prescribed psychotropic drug before and during their murderous shooting rampage. Yet somehow these facts are swept under the carpet and not discussed on the mass media in an organized effort to restrict American liberties. If safety is the concern then it's obvious banning all psychotropic drugs is the only answer that will be effective.
10:26 am on Thursday, December 20, 2012
I felt the initial coverage was nothing short of disgusting and unprofessional. I realize all of the news outlets want to be "first" with a story; however, unless they have facts, or unless they are prepared to tell people that the information they have IS unsubstantiated, they should hold back. In addition; I felt that putting microphones and cameras in the faces of the children who were being taken from the school was absolutely horrific! I mean, those kids had just seen goodness-knows-what happening, things that adults shouldn't have to see! You could tell from their faces they were in shock, the absolute last thing they needed was to have reporters pestering them. Sorry, but the media gets no "pats on the back" form me on this one.
10:34 am on Thursday, December 20, 2012
The media coverage on Newtown is similar to the George Zimmerman shooting. It's a witch hunt. School shootings aren't new and newtown wasn't anywhere near the worst.
Let's not forget tragedies like Beslan (330 mostly children dead) and Anders Breivik rampage (72 dead children) occurred in nations that have both very strict gun control, and that lack the gun culture of the USA.
There is a slight improvement in Coverage this time. There is some discussion of the REAL ISSUE that is Mental Health.
(From BBC} Daniele Canarelli was given a suspended prison sentence of one year, in the first case of its kind in France.
Her patient Joel Gaillard murdered a man in March 2004, 20 days after Gaillard fled a consultation with Canarelli at a hospital in Marseille. (Endquote)
The privacy shield given to the insane needs to be destroyed. Psychiatrists, Priests, Attorney's must not shield those who they believe to be a danger. When these berserkers are children, they tend to kill children.
Beslan was religious and Breivik was political. These are insane acts. Only by detecting and removing the dangerously insane will these actions stop. It would be likely to remove those who kill others in denial of abortion, automobiles, bar fights, and other aggressive activities.
The media broadcasts constant images that glorify violence. The insane act on this. Any school teacher today will tell that students are affected. TV breeds a generation of amoral killers.
1:40 pm on Thursday, December 20, 2012
Breivik killed 77 actually at Utola. He got 21 years in prison. He targeted the children of politicians.

PC Tech: Part 1
You are extremely verbose on this issue, and many of your statements are factually incorrect. Let's just look at two examples:
The British police are not generally armed, but about 20% do carry arms, particularly if they are working in environments where acts of terrorism are possible, for example, at airports, and outside embassies. I recall that we always had one rapid response vehicle with a shotgun on every shift. However, the gun was locked in a safe in the trunk of the vehicle, and could only be accessed after permission was granted by a very senior officer.
John Cole
2:04 pm on Thursday, December 20, 2012
Part 2:
Australia: Firstly, even before the 1997 gun buyback program, Australia had very similar laws to those that exist in Great Britain. In Great Britain, you had to make an application for a firearm permit at the police station. Your background would be thoroughly researched, and you would receive a visit by the police to inspect where you intended to keep the weapon. You would then have to attend Magistrate's Court, and demonstrate to the Magistrate that you had a solid purpose for owning a weapon. The police would, at this hearing, expose anything negative discovered in their background checks that may prevent you from owning a firearm. However, by necessity, in Australia things were more relaxed, and concern for an increased homicide and suicide rate by firearm caused the 1997 buyback program.
John Cole
2:06 pm on Thursday, December 20, 2012
Part 3:
You should read the research report drafted by Andrew Leigh, Research School of Economics, Australian National University and Christine Neill, Department of Economics, Wilfrid Laurier University. http://andrewleigh.org/pdf/GunBuyback_Panel.pdf
The opening paragraph reads: "In 1997, Australia implemented a gun buyback program that reduced the stock of firearms by around one-fifth (and nearly halved the number of gun-owning households).
Using differences across states, we test whether the reduction in firearms availability affected homicide and suicide rates. We find that the buyback led to a drop in the firearm suicide rates of almost 80%, with no significant effect on non-firearm death rates. The effect on firearm homicides is of similar magnitude but is less precise. The results are robust to a variety of specification checks and to instrumenting the state-level buyback rate."

While the shootings in Newtown were tragic and heartbreaking, I think the news media has turned it into more like a Reality Show. Enough already. This plays right into Obama's plan for gun control which is what he has wanted to do all along. Gun control will not stop this from happening. The shooter is already breaking the law--gun control won't stop them. Timothy McVeigh didn't use a gun and he injured 680 people, killed 168 people, of which 19 were children under age 6.
Chuck Burton
1:48 pm on Thursday, December 20, 2012
Excellent point! If guns aren't available, the shooters may well become bombers, killing many more, and also crippling several times as many as they kill! Bombs are not that hard to make.

Just read a report that Adam Lanza (the CT shooter) was reported to have been taking Fanapt, a psychiatric drug which is reported to have "infrequent" psychiatric side effects including hostility, mood swings, manic attacks, and others. Other mass shooters have also been on various drugs that sometimes seem ro have effects the opposite of what they are intended to have. Yet all the attention has been on the weapons the shooters have used, not on the drugs they were taking that may have played a role in causing them to do what they did.
6:21 am on Thursday, January 10, 2013
The state run media can not report let alone investigate the psychotropic drug connection between every single mass shooting event because it would distract from the unconstitutional organized campaign of disarming of American citizens.

If nearly all of the mass shooters were on some kind of psychiatric drug at the time of their crimes, and the drugs, at least SOMETIMES are known to accentuate the problems of patients, then it seems there should be black-box warnings on the drugs, and doctors need to be extra observant of what effects the drugs are having on their patients. I think too many doctors note a patient's problems, go to their computers, and prescribe whatever the program recommends, collect their fee and say, "See you in a month." I've seen something like that happen, personally.

For chuck .. it's called a "rebound effect" anti-depressants cause suicides, sleeping pills keep you awake .. even anti-histamines makeyou snot out like a hose ... places like Giant and Rite Aid give printed cautions and warnings of side effects .. but it's up to the script writers (doctors) to tell their patients to call immediately if a rebound effect manifest..
as other tim .. yeah.. but in the case of the wackjobs in norway and newtown .. logistically it's kind hard to stab 69 or 26 people to death .. before some group of people getb together and open a large economy can of whup-ass...

also .. there are laws in many states to prevent street side dispensers of fuel to to put more than five gallons into anything other than fuel filler pipes .. also .. many stations use kerosene rathers than fuel oil .. especially in nothern climes where diesel gets thick and ooky below a certian ambient temp ..it destroys the diesel engine ...

I flip-flop about this kind of coverage. On the one hand, I think the coverage encourages copy cat killers as it seems to offer them fame. But on the other hand, I think that the media should show us the gruesome, graphic pictures of the wounded and killed, to bring a more honest and chilling depiction of the reality. I know that is controversial. In general I am disgusted with the apparent desire of so many to 'be on TV.'
11:09 am on Wednesday, December 26, 2012
I felt that while this story had to be reported and followed as breaking news, the media turned it into a 24/7 circus. The interviewing/interrogation of those little children just made me sick! And shame on the parents who allowed it. And trying to blame it on lack of gun control is ridiculous as is lack of mental health care. Mental health care is certainly available and he certainly lived in a family that could afford it. You can't force mental health and there is no way of knowing when one might snap. One thing I wonder about is that they've interviewed kids, parents, former neighbors, teachers, and etc. but no words coming forth from the father of this young man. They hadn't been divorced all that long that he didn't know something about his son.

Late in getting outb a reply ..
mental health counseling isn't cheap .. many health care policies either don't cover it or have high co-pays/deductibles .. and .. the patient has to be agreeable to treatmewnt ... oh, and thwen was that story that mommy was seeking commital of adam .. also .. the father did not want to comment ..
as for the interviews.... one of the things that is advised by trauma counselors for victims of psychological stress .. talk it out ..I've been there done that .. buddies of mine cops and firefighters after fatal incidents .. and another friend who had a PTSD flashback from a vietnam war battlefield incident ..as for the "circus" ,, getr real, it was a breaking news event .. with constantly changing updates ..it was multiple stories ..the victms..the survivors.. the shooter .. the first reponders... and the pro and anti-gunners ..the political reactions ...

"Any person who plays call of duty incessantly and has a loose grip in reality, as well as easy access to weapons, is a bomb with a burning fuse."
"Some, like Lanza may even be thinking they are playing a Video Game."
Way to jump on the "blame the video game" bandwagon. Do you even research this stuff? There is no conclusive evidence that video games cause negative changes in behavior or personality; any correlation is simply that and what changes are observed are not reliable applied to long-term development.
Also, could you please explain how violent video games caused the following...
Bath School Disaster (1927)
Ying Leung (1928)
Midnight Massacre (1945)
Howard Unruh (1949)
Charles Starkweather (1958)
Highway 101 Sniper (1965)
Charles Whitman (1966)
North Hills Shooting (1972)

Fullerton Massacre (1976)

Read the Australian study that shows
"Research into violent video games (VVGs) is primarily conducted by psychologists in the United States. It takes place in a controversial political context of free speech disputes and school shootings. Much of this research has shown that playing VVGs is a small to moderate risk factor in later aggressive behaviour, at least in the short-term. However, over the course
of this review a number of problems emerged with these findings that reduce their policy relevance.
Critics have pointed to the difficulties of defining and measuring the violent content of video games. Researchers have not devoted sufficient attention to the question of severity of violent content (eg, cartoonish violence vs realistic violence) and whether it has differing effects. Some studies appear to show games featuring cartoonish violence are just as harmful as games featuring realistic violence. It is not known whether socially acceptable violence (such as in the course of playing sports) has a different effect to antisocial violence."
10:30 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
"Critics have also pointed to problems with the concept of 'aggression' used in the research. They argue that it is imprecisely defined and measured using unstandardised tests which may not apply in the real world. In addition, the effects of violent video games on aggression tend to be quite small. However, because they are played repeatedly by large parts of the community, they may still be a cause for concern.
There is some consensus in the research that some members of the community, such as people with psychotic personality traits, may be more affected by VVGs than others. However, there is mixed evidence as to whether VVGs have a greater impact on children.""
A number of other findings of this review arguably reduce the policy relevance of VVG
There is stronger evidence of short-term VVG effects than of long-term effects.
The possibility that third variables (like aggressive personality, family and peer
influence, socio-economic status) are behind the effect has not been well explored.
Researchers who argue that VVGs cause aggression have not engaged with or
disproved alternative theories propagated by their critics.
There is little evidence that violent video games have a greater impact than other
violent media.
In conclusion, research into the effects of VVGs on aggression is contested and inconclusive."
10:30 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
Some of us do the reading and some still do the denying.
10:35 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
Another report to read.
The conclusions are not the same.
Speculation regarding the potential link between violent video games and school shooting events is not limited to politicians and media 'talking heads'. Indeed, several scholars have explicitly linked academic research on violent video games with school shooting incidents (Anderson, 2004; Anderson & Dill, 2000). Bushman and Anderson (2002) suggest that even the 9/11 terrorist attacks are relevant to the media violence debate. Is there a basis for this generalisation, however? "
The issue is by far a settled one but any links must be a part of this conversation. Just as the 38% of ALL MURDERS by ONE demographic group in the country, mostly with handguns, must also be part of this conversation.
11:01 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
It always cracks me up when I hear people suggest that video games are dangerous when there's honestly not much more dangerous then having your intellgence slowly sucked away by the boob tube.
There are so many more benefits to video gaming over television - but as with anything else, keeping reasonable balance in one's life is goal #1.
I've been a lifelong gamer really, but everyone's surprised when/if I do mention it.
11:03 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
Eh, some of us clearly have more time on their hands (i.e. Sanchez/Joe/whatever his handle is these days)
11:47 am on Friday, December 28, 2012
I don't play games so yes, I have more time to read such things than you do. Tim, no where can you find that I said these games "are the cause". I only posted a few studies that say it CAN be in certain people. Just as some people can be set off by someone else into an angry fit and do something terrible.
IF you had even read what I posted you would have read this "The issue is by far a settled one but any links must be a part of this conversation."
I made no claims one way or the other. Just showed the results of a few studies.
12:07 pm on Friday, December 28, 2012
You'll have to pardon me as I actually do have a job I work at during the day. As I've told you in the past, I'm not going to read 6 articles you copy/paste portions of. You need to, at some point in time, learn how to consolidate your arguments for those of us not sitting at home every day, making Perry Hall Patch your #1 priority day in and out.
That said, I do agree with your summary above. I honestly feel gaming is much better for you as a person then watching the same amount of television. You develop all sorts of skills you can apply to sports, work, and outside life if you choose to apply them.
As with anything though, finding the balance is the key. If you are a parent, you need to foster that balance in your children.
As an online/MMO gamer myself many evenings, I am acutely aware of the multitudes of people of all ages who allow online life to replace real life - many times for no good reason. Marraiges get wrecked, jobs get lost, children don't get properly parented, etc.
In Lanza's case, I can honestly understand why he would resort to online games. This was NOT a normal kid and it wasn't his fault he was born how he was.
This was a progressive parental failure on his mother's fault that she only, at the last minute (so to speak) recognized. Let's remember, if she didn't have the advanced weaponry IN THEIR HOUSE, Lanza likely wouldn't have access to anything more then perhaps a handgun.

North Korea .. play violent video Games ... and with Gran Theft Auto .. why are auto thefts down .. and not up .. if we're going to censor games .. and TV .. and the printed word against violence.. then we better get ready for 24-hour a day Norman Vincent Peale and the Brady Bunch ..oh.. and don't forget the purple dinosauer.. " you love me, I love you ..."

Japanese video games / online MMO games are generally more violent(na dless restrictive) then US versions of the same game, from my limited exposure to them.
Yet when the great earthquake/tsunami and subsequent Fukushima meltdown occurred, you saw what the Japanese people were made of. Made me embarassed to be an American honestly, comparing how they dealt with disaster compared to, let's say, Katrina here.

The point that Shawn is missing is that people on pyschotropic drugs should not be allowed access to firearms ..it's that little graph on the quesionaire that asks about mental health treatment, confinement and/or certain drugs ..
6:35 am on Thursday, January 10, 2013
Actually the point concerning psychotropic drugs is simply patients taking these drugs should be under supervision at all times, or taken off the psychotropic prescription. A normal person does not murder children, however anyone on one or God forbid a cocktail of psychotropic drugs can and has committed these atrocities. When 100% of the mass shooters were under the influence of one or more psychotropic drugs, the answer to stop the violence is BAN all psychotropic drugs period.

America will never be perfect....it's like trying to maintain a beautiful,weed free lawn while being surrounded by others that don't really care....from time to time big ol healthy dandelions will pop up...goes with the turf...no matter how many times we spray the lawn with chemicals to keep the weeds out, they will always regrow...to many chemicals are very dangerous..

Supporting Civil Rights for Atheists and the Separation of Church and State
Cranford, NJ-Orange County, Florida school leaders have given approval for members of World Changers of Florida to distribute Bibles by placing them on tables near student lunchrooms on Wednesday, January 16, 2013.
David Silverman, President of American Atheists said, "Orange County is showing favoritism by allowing the distribution of Bibles in the county high schools. This is an issue of preserving the rights of all students, regardless of their beliefs. "Silverman continues, "We will be moving forward to distribute books written by Madalyn Murray O'Hair on atheism in the same manner. Our request will be presented to the school board asking for a specific date when we can place our books in the schools. We expect equal treatment for us; as well as any and all other religions that want to distribute their literature in the same manner."
This type of passive distribution isn't a new occurrence in the Orange County Schools. According to the group's web site, the distribution is an annual practice. An article on the website states, "We are excited to again be able to distribute Bibles in Collier and Orange county high schools. We have given out thousands of Bibles over the last few years and we are working to expand the program to many other school districts." (Emphasis American Atheists)
AMERICAN ATHEISTS is a national 501(c)(3) organization that defends civil rights for atheists, freethinkers, and other nonbelievers; works for the total separation of religion and government; and addresses issues of First Amendment public policy.
Join us as we celebrate our 50 Years of Reason at our 2013 National Convention in Austin, Texas, March 28-31, 2013. You can find out more about this event including registration at atheists.org/convention2013

With Unexcelled Power And Uncommon Responsibility.
The proof is all about us. Our planet is �going green.� And to help that cause, Fuji EnviroMAX� batteries bring a long-overdue dimension of eco-responsibility to the replacement battery market � along with unsurpassed power and longevity! You truly get the best of both worlds with Fuji EnviroMAX � at no added cost. Independent tests show Fuji EnviroMAX batteries equal, and most often exceed the performance and longevity of equivalent major brands. But that�s only part of the Fuji EnviroMAX story.
A Whole NEW �Green� Kind of Alkaline Battery.
The materials that make up a Fuji EnviroMAX battery are derived from the basic elements of the Earth. There is nothing inside a Fuji EnviroMAX battery that will harm the environment if it is disposed of through normal waste systems. A few reasons why are that Fuji EnviroMAX batteries contain no harmful mercury, cadmium � nor are they packaged with dangerous (and non-recyclable) PVC plastic. Instead, Fuji EnviroMAX batteries are made in some of the world�s most eco-respectful battery plants, operating under some of the most strict standards of environmental responsibility. In fact, most of all resources used in the Fuji EnviroMAX manufacturing process are reused and recycled! What�s more, Fuji EnviroMAX batteries are labeled and packaged with recycled paper and P.E.T. plastic. The result is batteries that meet a world standard for environmental responsibility and recyclable materials. And no other batteries are so respectful of our environment as Fuji EnviroMAX.
At First Glance, All Batteries Look The Same�
�They�re all the same size and they fit snuggly into one of the many portable electronic devices that have become very common in our everyday lives. Most of us never even give a thought to how batteries are made or what harm they can do to our environment once they are discarded. Fuji EnviroMAX has been dedicated to developing one of the most environmentally respectful batteries on the planet for twenty years.
Here at Fuji EnviroMAX, we are dedicated to setting environmental standards with the batteries we make. At one time, all batteries were made with mercury and cadmium, which are heavy metals. These heavy metals, along with other materials, have been proven to be harmful to the environment. Fuji Batteries decided they wanted to confront this environmental danger head-on, so they developed Fuji EnviroMAX to eliminate the use of materials like mercury and cadmium, which were hazardous to the environment.
Today, Fuji EnviroMAX batteries are designed to be environmentally respectful. Here is a look at Fuji EnviroMAX�s environmental report card:
About twenty years ago, Fuji Batteries was able to produce batteries that were Mercury-Free.
Today, Fuji Batteries also produces batteries that are Cadmium-Free.
Ozone-depleting compounds have been eliminated in the production of Fuji EnviroMAX batteries.
Fuji EnviroMAX batteries continue to lead the way by setting rigorous safety and quality control standards to produce battery products that are safe for users and to the environment.

We manufacture bases and technical rollers at different sites worldwide to offer our customers the best conditions in terms of delivery times, flexibility and quality.
Abrasion test sheetFor the ink manufacturers' abrasiveness tests we manufacture abrasion test sheets which match our gravure cylinders in their surface texture. The correct chrome layer and surface roughness in particular are decisive for expressive results.
Air cylinder stationWe offer air cylinder stations for the rapid uncomplicated assembly of elastomer or nickel sleeves on the air cylinder. We also manufacture corresponding assembly sleeves depending on individual needs.
We cover the entire range of flexo printing forms from elastomer printing forms for endless printing up to laser imaged polymer plates and sleeves for high-quality printing. Our range also includes lacquer plates as well as elastomer sleeves for refining offset prints with UV, matt, glossy lacquers and metallic colours. The printing forms can be manufactured by using different processes:
Our gravure sleeve system is excellently suited for fixed format packaging and decor printing. The quality standard is as high as that of our gravure cylinders. The reduced weight of the nickel/copper sleeves facilitates production, transport, handling and logistics. That makes huge cost and time savings possible.
Our spectrum of carrier solutions ranges from conventional steel blanks via sleeve solutions with air cylinders to technical rollers. We also enlarge circumferences of existing customer cylinders.
Air cylinders, including adapter and assembly sleeves, anilox cylinders for glue, ink or lacquer application in flexo printinghot and chill rolls for embossing or to process foilscounter rollers as flat rollers in steel as well as paper and rubber rollers of all typesdeflection and guide rollers
We produce rotogravure cylinders for the widest variety of applications. Flexible packaging printing involving the most diverse requirements in terms of materials being printed, colour implementation and tactile surfaces is particularly prominent here. We also offer extensive expertise for the use of gravure cylinders in other areas, such as for printing decors, wallpapers, gift paper, textiles or special foils for furniture-making. We also make it possible to produce extremely complex and high-resolution applications, as required in security printing, via special gravure cylinder that are oriented to the particular requirements.
We offer all of the technologies for imaging gravure cylinders found in the market and work exclusively here with machines produced by market-leading manufacturers.
We offer universal artworks in different expansion stages and resume the cut surface management between design and reproduction. In Repro we prepare the artwork for industrial printing so that we can guarantee reliable results. We produce digital reproductions for packaging printing using the gravure, flexo or offset process as well as for embossing and refinements of all types. Depending on the customer's requirement, we prepare the artwork information relevant for printing process-specifically or printer-specifically.
At the start of packaging development, the decoration or design is important in addition to functional aspects. Creativity plays an important role in staging a product's effectiveness. At the same time, the design phase is also the prelude to the highly complex and technical prepress process. To be able to guarantee the optimum feasibility of drafts, we place great importance on technically advising our customers and in-depth exchanges with the creative agency in this early development stage.
The step from two-dimensional design to ready packaging cannot be underestimated. We use packaging simulations in a targeted way to correct incorrect estimates and false expectations early. The more realistically we reproduce the impression of the later packaging, the more precisely our customers can assess its impact. Depending on the area of use we exploit various options.
In the past optimisation occurred through adjustments to the printing press, but we can now safeguard the consistency of the print result through fingerprint-based targeted print colour management in the digital phase. As a result we work with an individual profiling process, which includes all of the relevant process parameters (up to 70 variables) in gravure, flexo and offset printing and are constantly developing these further.
We produce rotogravure cylinders and flexo printing plates and sleeves for the most different application areas. In the foreground is the flexible package printing with versatile requirements concerning printing substrates, the color realization and the surface feel. We offer all engraving technologies available on the market: electromechanical engraving, direct laser gravure, Cellaxy Direct Laser, Think Laser, laser etching and embossing.
To secure the competitiveness of gravure compared with flexo and offset printing in the long term, developing new, innovative printing forms is an important factor for us. We pursue the objective of reducing the weight of forms by using innovative materials and optimisations in the manufacturing process. This simplifies logistics and the handling of printing forms and thus reduces costs.
We produce widely-usable rotary embossing forms/embossing rollers in all of the usual manufacturing processes. HSC milled union rollers with extremely exact concentricity and production in the μ-tolerance range are also in the product range.
We work in copper, steel, brass, aluminium and zinc. We achieve very high quality standards through the use of laser engraving.
In general, the cylinders can be produced as a solid body, segment structure or sleeve. Tests and model embossings on original material are a special service (à Barrel proof).
Our rollers are used for the high-quality packaging of well-known products in the tobacco and food industry as well as other industrial applications. Enthusiasm and a spirit of innovation are our motivators for the continued further development of embossing applications.

New Boston police have arrested a man they say is part of a multi-state forgery ring.
According to NBPD Capt. Steve Goins, Phillip and Kim Benton of Rush, Ky., reported June 8 that someone had counterfeited one of their personal checks and cashed it at the New Boston Walmart for $435 and purchased a flat-screen television. The Bentons also reported fraudulent purchases at stores in Kentucky and West Virginia, where counterfeit checks and expensive items also were purchased.
Goins said police obtained surveillance footage of the June 8 incident and they warned Walmart security personnel to watch for the suspect in the video.
Walmart security personnel reported to NBPD on June 22 that the suspect used another fraudulent check to buy a flat-screen television for $370.
As the suspect was leaving Walmart, Goins said, NBPD officers detained the man, who reportedly gave officers a false name and used a fake identification card. Once under arrest, Goins said the suspect's real name and ID card were revealed.
Goins identified the suspect as Clifton Payne, 43, of Ironton. Payne reportedly also possessed two other fake ID cards and the counterfeit bank check he used at Walmart. Goins said Payne also indicated there was a large quantity of counterfeit checks and fake ID cards in the vehicle he was driving.
The vehicle was impounded and Goins said NBPD will obtain a search warrant on Monday to seize the suspected criminal evidence.
Payne was charged with four counts of forgery and two counts of telecommunications fraud, all fifth-degree felonies.
Goins said police discovered during their interview with Payne that he is involved in a large multiple state forgery ring where Payne is one of many people involved in going around the tri-state area and cashing counterfeit checks and having stolen identity information from multiple victims. So far, Goins said, possible incidents include Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.
New Boston police will be contacting and cooperating with the investigating agencies from the other states this week.
Goins said police believe the victims' personal identity information was hacked or stolen from some type of database and the suspected forgery ring made counterfeit checks with the victims' names on them and fake identification cards with the victims' names on them. In Payne's case, at least, his photograph was on the ID card to evade detection, Goins said.
If anyone has information about Payne or other suspects that were involved with these suspected crimes, call the New Boston Police Department at 740-456-4109 and ask to speak with Goins.
Payne will appear Monday morning at Portsmouth Municipal Court. Once this case is presented to a Scioto County grand jury, Goins said Payne could face an additional 15 counts of forgery for every counterfeit check and identification card found in his possession at the time of his arrest.
Josh Richardson may be contacted at 740-353-3101, ext. 244, firstname.lastname@example.com.

So grab a bag of popcorn, find your desk chair, and come along with me for a wild reading adventure!
Population Balance
The Ettenmoors and PvMP is a tremendously enjoyable experience when battles are evenly matched. However, evenly matched battles may be infrequent. Though there's merit to the underdog overcoming the odds and a feeling of superiority when your side crushes the meager opposition, frustration and boredom continue to grow if there is no shift in population balance.
In order to address this, we have introduced a population balance mechanic in the Ettenmoors that will help even the odds between the two sides and provide a more interesting PvMP experience.
This mechanic continually tracks population in PvMP. When one side's force becomes dramatically smaller than the other's, a defensive bonus is added to the characters on the underpopulated side. The bonus increases if the difference in population between the two sides grows bigger and decreases if the difference in population between the two sides grows smaller.
The defensive bonus boosts melee, ranged, and tactical defenses. When your side has this bonus applied, it will be shown as an icon in your vitals window.
Session Play
Troll and Ranger session play is now tied into the Population Balance mechanic. You will now only be able to start up a session if your side is overwhelmed. Like the defensive bonus above, if the difference between the two sides continues to increase, more session slots will be unlocked for the underpopulated side to use.

Loving Samsung
Strengths: Fast, no itunes needed, I can get my music from my device on my friends computer unlike apple.
Weakness: It's not useable as a phone
I got this to complement my Samsung LED tv and I am falling in love with samsung. This device is really fast and compared to my iPad it does not need iTunes. Getting familiar with android is also not a hard task, I am in the process of getting my apple friends to come to the android side. Very glad to be not using iTunes, thank you android!

galaxy tab
Strengths: have plenty of storage w/32 gb. good visual,
Weakness: Weak charger cable. Hard to get replacement. To get new battery, have to ship Tab to TX! NO response from Samsung to questions via email.
Find out where to buy acessories, parts etc before you buy! I have had the Tab 1 for a year now. You have to go to other sources to find out how to load pics, download data, print, etc. As poor support and info from Samsung. It's all hooked in w/google so be prepared to have snooping of your emails, browsing habits, and financial, work, & social data.

Congressman Richard Hudson toured South Piedmont Community College on Thursday as part of his "Job Creation through Workforce Training" tour.
Despite the rain, Hudson toured SPCC's L.L. Polk campus in Polkton for the first time since 2004, meeting with several college officials, including SPCC president Stan Sidor. The tour included an extensive look at the campus' many classrooms and equipment, as well as the student center, various offices, and more. Although there were no students because of spring break, Hudson was able to meet with several faculty and staff members throughout the tour.
Following the tour, Hudson spoke briefly at a roundtable discussion that included several active members of the community, including Anson County Schools interim superintendent Michael Freeman and school board members, SPCC board members, and several others.
The son of a retired Cabarrus County teacher and brother of a guidance counselor, Hudson said he has a personal perspective of education needs. "We need to create a skilled workforce," Hudson said. "I hear people say that they can't find workers qualified for the jobs. Nationally, there are 12 million unemployed but 3.6 million jobs. Community colleges are crucial to fixing that disconnect."
Hudson later commented that while some graduates with four-year degrees are unable to find jobs, programs such as SPCC's nursing degree have close to a 100 percent job placement, showing a need for skilled workers.
Hudson also criticized national spending, saying that instead of very generous payments for those in Washington, the salaries of those in fields such as education should be increased.
Freeman agreed with Hudson, saying that schools are required to meet certain mandates but often lack the funding necessary to help them reach those goals. "The strongest educators are those who are there because of a calling, not a salary; however, at the end of the day they deserve to support their family," Freeman said. "Many teachers have to work additional part-time jobs to support their families… we're losing top-notch teachers from community college and the public school system for more lucrative jobs. Please help us treat them like professionals."
Sidor noted that Pell grant eligibility has changed over the years, so that even if there is grant money, it can be hard to attain due to eligibility requirements that students have to be near the poverty level to collect. He also reflected on the helpfulness of the federal work study program, which allows students to earn money while they learn crucial job skills that can later help them find employment.
Hudson listened to these and several other concerns during the roundtable. Although Hudson noted that one lone congressman can do little he was optimistic about gaining support, adding that several of his other projects have gained support from both parties. He was also pleased with the community and school passion. "I've toured through the district and the county and I'm really impressed with the education employees' dedication and success despite the pay."
SPCC currently has 2,570 students in curriculum programs, 2,162 in continuing education and 1,331 in basic skills for a total of 6,063 total students.
South Piedmont Community College offers classes in Polkton, Wadesboro and Monroe. Classes are also offered online or hybrid. High school juniors and seniors who meet eligibility requirements (including a "B" high school GPA) may take free college classes. The N.C. Career & College Promise program gives students a college experience — on campus or online. Union County Early College and Anson County Early College, programs that provide youth the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and an associate degree in five years, are offered in partnership with the local school systems, according to grants and community relations director Carolina Cate.
Registration for Summer 2013 and Fall 2013 begins April 23. For more information about the college, visit www.spcc.edu.

The Basics
Erik on Patch
More Stuff
About Erik
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: (201) 259-5372
Hometown: Rochester, NY
Birthday: December 10
Bio: Erik Wander is a photographer, filmmaker, educator and journalist originally from Rochester, NY. A 2006 graduate of the Columbia university Graduate School of Journalism, where he completed a concentration in new media, Erik's experience in journalism includes working as an online photo editor, a newspaper reporter and a radio journalist. He also holds an MFA in visual studies with a concentration in photography and film from the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, NY and a B.A. in English from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Erik has lived in such diverse places as Daegu, South Korea, where he taught English for four years immediately after graduating from college; Huizhou, China and Singapore, where he taught photography and film for nearly five years; New York City, where he worked as a photo editor for Time Magazine online (time.com) and Kodiak and Valdez, Alaska, where he spent the past two years as a public radio and community newspaper reporter.
Our Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for them to inject their beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that their beliefs are on the record will cause them to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
How would you describe your political beliefs?
Are you registered with a certain party?
I am a registered Democrat, but I've been known to vote Republican or even third-party as specific issues and my own convictions have dictated.
How religious would you consider yourself? (casual, observant, devout, non religious)
I was raised in the Evangelical Covenant Church, a Christian denomination founded by Swedish immigrants in the late 1800s. I would however describe myself as "non-practicing" today, although the study of the world's various religions is an ongoing interest and occasional reporting focus. In my travels over the years I've had the opportunity to visit Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, Buddhist and Hindu temples, Shinto shrines, and Islamic mosques in the U.S., Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and India, among other places, and I've found inspiration in nearly every one of them.
Local Hot-Button Issues
What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?
Where do you stand on each of these issues?
I can honestly say that I can't honestly say—at least not at this point. I'm too new to the community to presume to take a stance on the issues or answer the question with any degree of credibility. My eyes are wide open, however, and I fully expect in the process of reporting here day in and day out to have a more satisfactory answer after having had the chance to speak with and get to know you, our readers, community members, leaders and others who know so much better than I do what matters in Fort Lee. Check back with me in a few months.

To add to that irony, in the first Novice league a couple years ago, Roscoe had a top four contending team. He traded for Ron Artest, and before the trade even cleared through Yahoo, there was the brawl at the Palace. Artest didn't play for Roscoe and Roscoe's team plunged to the bottom of the standings. So Artest owed him one.
Good luck to the finalists. A few of my guys just fell apart during the last couple of days and that knocked me out of the finals. As a side note for the future competition - maybe we should think about shortening the season. Teams that already locked in their seeds are sitting out some of the players. I didn't get affected this time, but some people did. And when you're talking about people like Garnett, Chauncey, etc. it takes a heavy toll on the games.
It's a factor in basketball. They end the football season early. Hockey and baseball teams don't sandbag in the end. It's just one of those things, but yeah, it can kill a good basketball team.
With hockey, a couple of players sitting out a game doesn't hurt your team. In football there are only 16 games, so anyone sitting out the game is extremely rare if at all exists. Basketball is a different animal, but if that's how Yahoo has it then that's the way it is.
Actually, football teams that have clinched their playoff spot DO commonly rest their star players to prevent injury. That's why football ends a couple weeks before the regular season. Hockey teams play everyone to the end to keep them sharp. Same with baseball, although pitchers can get shut down early if they have any problem at all. Basketball is the one fantasy sport where I've seen healthy players benchings cause big problems.
So why is it that only me and ballers got their rosters locked? Anyway, like Mchale shaking hands with Isiah after Boston finally got beat, go on and win it all Ros!
Slippy, why did you just pm me to say "Darth, Bill's team doesn't even know how to read or write, so why should I care about giving him bulletin board material?" ???
This Novice League is all about the ring! Once you were defeated in the playoffs, I locked the add/drop option, so that teams still fighting it out for #1 couldn't pick up your castoffs.
For you non-leaguers, Roscoe & Bill are in a dogfight of a match-up for all-the-marbles with Bill currently up 4-3: __________Roscoe____Bill FG%_______.480_____.478 FT%_______.800_____.818 3pt_________23_______24 Pts________339______344 Reb________142______128 Ast_________82_______66 Stl_________21_______21 Blk_________11_______15 TO_________43_______43 Good luck to both of you edit: can anyone explain how to paste data in spreadsheet form to a post?
i couldn't set my lineup tho. It wasn't about adding guys. but nevermind that. looks like a tight game..i just hope the starters had enough rest :P
Actually, that's bull. How are you even supposed to play if you can't set your lineup? This is called changing the rules within the game. Commish needs to be brought up on charges of conspiracy.
Oh, I didn't realize that. I thought I just locked it down so that you couldn't add/ drop players. I'm not sure how I did that, but I do apologize.
You would think that the corrupt commish could have rigged it a little so he could at least made the playoffs! What a bum!
