Anorexia ComplicationsTopic OverviewAlmost half of people who have anorexia nervosa will eventually develop symptoms (binge-purge behaviors) of another eating disorder called bulimia nervosa.1 Long-term or severe anorexia also can cause serious medical complications, such as:2
If left untreated, many of these conditions can lead to death. Up to 15 out of 100 people who have anorexia will eventually die from complications of malnutrition or from suicide.1 But restoring healthy eating habits and good nutrition may reverse many of the complications of anorexia.

I can see where folks here are coming from since many of you currently have kids ...
Silicon Valley Nation: STEM, engineering and innovation
Brian Fuller
SAVANNAH, Ga.--Sitting in front of me are 150 people who hold our future in their hands.
They're teachers from the Georgia Engineering Teachers Education (GETEA) association, and they have asked me to speak at their annual conference here about the Drive for Innovation.
I want to hear from them as much as they want to hear from me what's going on outside their little piece of the country.
[Get a 10% discount on ARM TechCon 2012 conference passes by using promo code EDIT. Click here to learn about the show and register.]
Once the cradle of cotton and textiles, Georgia is desperately trying to beef up its technology education to attract tech businesses and create jobs. A few years ago, the state adopted a track-based approach to high school education--whether it's farming or engineering--you pick the track as a freshman, and that's your emphasis for the next four years.
GETEA's been around for decades and the state chapter of the Technology Student Association (the TSA that doesn't pat you down) is one of the country's most active. But it's a battle.
Inspiration, dedication
On a soft warm fall Saturday outside of Woodville Tompkins High School, I tell them about our year-long journey, emphasizing what we saw at colleges and K-12 programs around the nation.
I tell the educators about Baird Soules at the M5 maker center at UMass-Amherst; the Penn EV team; about the four Arizona State Engineering students who spend their "free" time mentoring grade school kids about technology and math as part of SAE program. I tell them of the integrated program at High Tech High in San Diego.
And I joked about Don Morgan, the teacher-inspiration behind our first high school stop on the trip as we drove through quiet little Quitman, Ga. Morgan is a force of nature in these parts, and he asked me to come talk of our adventures.
My message: As technology increasingly feeds on itself, it makes the tools of innovation easier to use and available to a non-traditional audience. This means teachers need to not only to build nimble, problem-solving minds but put technology in students' hands and say, "Here, go break this and tell me what you learned."
Next: Big obstacles
It's always great to see your reactions from your seemingly constant travels, I must say, Brian (and the other contributors too!).
One problem my wife, a teacher, encountered often, is the school boards' single-minded insistence on sports, and consequent relative disinterest in what should really matter. She initially taught in rural Pennsylvania, where this phenomenon is particularly acute. Maybe similar in Georgia?
The great teachers really stand out, in such cases.
@Bert22306: I have to agree that emphasis on sports is overly misplaced in the US. The entertainment value from high school football games on Friday nights is so tiny and short-lived but the schools would rather pursue that than encouraging (&funding) science clubs!
MP Divakar
Brian, I invite you to check out what this high school in Texas is doing. They have a great STEM academy program and a parent booster club for same (how many high schools have an engineering booster club?) The booster club holds an annual Engineering Expo which has turned into a major event.
Brian Fuller2
Bert, your wife's experience is distressing to say the least, especially if k-12 school boards are emphasizing sports over academics... I get (but don't support) why colleges do it, but in K-12 it's a completely misplaced priority.
It must be that such rural areas don't see much economic transformation and that sports is an outlet. That said, the occasional visionary seems to show up and bring change. You can't change a local economy without building a talent base to draw from. Problem is there aren't enough visionaries or risk takers out there to make this happen at lots of school boards.
I think having a focus on either one or the other is equally unfortunate. Kids need a balanced education in school, including science, math, sport, art and language(s). If the quality of teachers across the board could be raised (something you only really achieve on a large scale by paying significantly more for their salaries), that would be a great start.
Brian Fuller2
@gkidwell, wow. An engineering booster club! Are you a parent there? Are you headed to that event by any chance? If you are and have the inclination, I'd love to hear your thoughts after the fact! Let's keep the conversation moving.
Yes I am a parent and also on the board of the booster club. I will be attending the Expo so would be happy to share my thoughts!
Brian Fuller2
@gkidwell, fantastic. You can send your thoughts to firstname.lastname@example.com or we can get on the phone and talk about things... Thanks for considering it!
I can see where folks here are coming from since many of you currently have kids in school (I don't). On the other hand (this is STRICTLY my opinion) it's next to criminally irresponsible AT THIS TIME to encourage students to enter a field where the job prospects are so bleak, then just "assume somehow" things will just automatically get better just prior to college graduation! I look at the cable industry sponsoring "robot building competitions" for high schoolers and I just about get sick to my stomach, the premise that we'll just go further down the path of putting out unlimited numbers of students with advanced engineering degrees only to have legions more hopelessly overqualified cable TV installers is a beyond pathetic vision of the future. I just wonder if the emphasis may be misplaced of getting kids educated when right now we have NO IDEA where the jobs will come from, and while corporate America just openly DOESN'T CARE how good the education of ANY American EE is, they INSIST that what they really need is more H1B visa to bring more engineers in from abroad because "US engineers are no good". Maybe this is the wrong blog for this but I believe the folks here need to hear this too.

These dim sum favourites are basically an open-faced dumpling, as they are not sealed or enclose d with a wrapper. They're so simple to make and so quickly eaten.
Here is my dear friend Andrea Nguyen's delectable recipe from her award-winning cookbook, Asian Dumplings: Mastering Gyoza, Spring Rolls, Samosas, and More.
2/3 pound (310 grams) coarsely ground pork, fattier kind preferred, coarsely chopped to loosen
4 large dried shiitake mushrooms, reconstituted, stemmed, and chopped (about ½ cup [125 mL])
¼ cup (60 mL) finely diced water chestnuts (fresh preferred)
3 tbsp (45 mL) finely chopped scallions (white
and green parts)
¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
1 tsp (5 mL) sugar
¼ tsp (1 mL) white pepper
1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch
1 tbsp (15 mL) light (regular) soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 mL) Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1½ tsp (7 mL) sesame oil
1 large egg white, beaten
30 small round siu mai skins (available at Asian supermarkets)
1½ tbsp (22mL) finely diced carrot, or 30 peas, for garnish
Light (regular) soy sauce Chinese hot mustard or Colman's English mustard
To make the filling, combine the pork, mushrooms, water chestnuts and scallions in a bowl. Use a fork or spatula to stir and lightly mash the ingredients together so they begin to blend.
Put the salt, sugar, white pepper, cornstarch, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil and egg white into a small bowl and stir to combine well. Pour over the meat mixture, and stir, fold, and mash everything together until they cohere into a compact mass. Cover the filling with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight, returning it to room temperature before assembling the dumplings. You should have a generous 2 cups (500 mL) of filling.
Before assembling the dumplings, line steamer trays and/or a baking sheet with parchment paper. For the baking sheet, lightly dust the paper with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Set aside. Hold a skin in one hand. Scoop up about 1 tbsp (15 mL) of filling with a bamboo dumpling spatula, dinner knife, or fork and position it in the centre of the skin, pressing down gently.
Pick up the skin and gather and pinch it together to form an open bag. Crown the dumpling with some finely diced carrot or a pea.
If steaming right away, place each finished dumpling in a steamer tray open side up, spacing them ½ inch (1 cm) apart, and 1 inch (2 ½ cm) away from the edge if you are using a metal steamer. Otherwise, place the waiting dumplings on the baking sheet a good ½ inch (1 cm) apart.
Keeping the finished dumplings covered with a dry kitchen towel to prevent drying, form and fill wrappers with the remaining dough. Dumplings made several hours in advance of cooking should be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. For longer storage, freeze them on their baking sheet until hard (about 1 hour), transfer them to a plastic container, and keep them frozen for up to 1 month; partly thaw them before steaming.
To cook, steam the dumplings over boiling water for 6 to 8 minutes, until the dumplings have puffed slightly and their skins have become translucent. Remove each tray and place it on a serving plate.
Serve immediately with the soy sauce and hot mustard. Invite guests to mix up their own dipping sauce.
Makes 30 dumplings, serving 6 to 8 as a snack
My friend Andrea and I have met few people who dislike fried won tons. They are irresistible: they fry up to a wonderful light crispness, staying true to their Cantonese name, which literally means "swallowing clouds."
Wrapping the filling in a thin skin is the secret to generating such an ethereal quality.
Most commercial won ton skins are, sadly, on the thick side and turn a bit chewy after frying. For better results, look for Hong Kong-style thin won ton skins at an Asian market. Fried won tons are most often enjoyed dipped in sweet and sour sauce, but they can also be served in a bowl covered by hot broth; the skins turn chewy and contribute a delightful richness to the soup.
1/3 pound (155 g) medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cut into pea-size pieces
¼ pound (125 g) ground pork, fattier kind preferred, coarsely chopped to loosen
1 scallion (white and green parts), finely chopped
½ tsp. (3 mL) plus 1/8 tsp (½ mL) cornstarch
¼ tsp (1 mL) sugar
½ tsp (3 mL) salt
1 pinch of black or white pepper
48 small square won ton skins Canola or peanut oil, for deep-frying
To make the filling, combine the shrimp, pork, scallion, cornstarch, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl and use chopsticks or a fork to mix well. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes before using, or refrigerate for up to a day in advance. You should have about 1 cup (250 mL).
Before assembling the won tons, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with cornstarch.
Remove the won ton skins from their package and cover loosely with a dampened cloth.
With one corner of a wrapper facing you, place a rounded teaspoon of the filling on the bottom corner. Starting at the bottom, roll the wrapper up ¾ of the way, covering the filling.
Press the wrapper on both sides to seal. Lightly brush a little water on one of the two side corners.
Bring the side corners together and overlap them. Press to seal. Place the won tons on a plate and lightly cover with a dampened towel until all the won tons have been wrapped. As you work, put the finished won tons on the prepared baking sheet. When all are made, loosely cover with a kitchen towel to prevent drying.
The won tons also can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for several hours; let them sit at room temperature to remove the chill before frying.
Put a wire rack on a baking sheet and place next to the stove. Pour oil to a depth of 1½ inches (3.75 cm) into a wok, deep skillet, or 5-quart Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat to about 325° F (160 C) on a deep-fry thermometer. (If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, stick a dry bamboo chopstick into the oil; if it takes about 2 seconds for bubbles to rise and encircle the chopstick, the oil is ready.)
Working in batches of 4 to 6, slide the won tons into the hot oil and fry for about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown. Use a skimmer to transfer to the rack to drain.
Arrange the won tons on a platter and serve hot as finger food along with the sauce for dipping.
Sweet and Sour Sauce
Typically, this sauce is a cloying, sticky and fluorescent bright red sauce, but Andrea's recipe is a rich, honey colour with a tart-sweet savoury flavour.
¼ cup (60 mL) sugar or lightly packed light brown sugar
¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
1 tbsp (15 mL) ketchup
1 tbsp (15 mL) light soy sauce
3 tbsp (45 mL) unseasoned rice vinegar or cider vinegar
½ cup (125 mL) water
2 tsp (10 mL) cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp (30 mL) water
Combine the sugar, salt, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a near boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Give the cornstarch a stir and add to the sauce. Continue stirring, for about 15 seconds, or until the sauce comes to a full boil and thickens.
Remove from the heat, transferring to a serving bowl, and set aside for 10 minutes to cool and concentrate in flavour. Taste and add extra seasoning if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Makes 48 won tons, serving 6 to 8 as a snack
Diana Kuan's new book, The Chinese Takeout Cookbook , is full of recipes for classic Chinese foods that people love to order .
Here is one recipe from the book that can be enjoyed any time but is also suitable for serving at Chinese New Year.
Almond Cookies
Almond cookies have a nutty fragrance and slightly sweet crunch. This recipe is an easy way to whip up dozens of these cookie classics.
2 ½ cups (625 mL) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 mL) sugar
½ tsp (2 mL) baking soda
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
½ lb (250 g or 2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tsp (10 mL) almond extract
40 whole almonds
1 large egg, beaten, for glaze
Heat oven to 325 F (160 C).
In a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Beat in softened butter, a few pieces at a time at low speed, until texture resembles that of cornmeal. Beat in eggs and almond extract until a smooth dough is formed.
Roll dough between your palms into 1 ¼-inch (3-cm) balls and place them 2 inches (5 cm) apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Using the palm of your hand, gently flatten each ball and place an almond in the middle of each. Brush the top of each cookie with egg glaze.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until cookies are golden on top, rotating the top and bottom baking sheets halfway through.
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. The cookies will keep for up to 3 to 4 days in an airtight container.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Mrs. Fitzpatrick was hoping to give us an update on her travels, but apparently Internet access is a bit spotty in the wild English countryside. Instead, you get to hear about the Brits in the great state of New Jersey!
One of the things I like about visiting my home state is the age of some of the surroundings. You can't go two miles without seeing a "George Washington Slept Here" or similar sort of historical marker. (Sure, in California you have the Spanish missions and the occasional Native American burial ground that serves as the foundation for a shopping mall. But there's a distinct feeling of newness to the buildings that I'm not sure I'll ever get used to.)
This weekend, not only did I have the requisite good pizza and bagels, I also was around to witness the 234th anniversary of the Battle of Bound Brook. The good people of Bound Brook and South Bound Brook celebrated by reenacting the battle in full Revolutionary War regalia. (My brother, who lives a half hour away in Princeton, also noted that he saw some red coats out and about near the Princeton battlefield when he was getting his morning coffee.) I swear to you that I never experienced anything like this in my town when I was growing up. There were always Revolutionary War things going on in other towns—the most entertaining being the reenactment of Washington crossing the Delaware every year on December 25—but the most exciting local event I ever attended was the South Bound Brook flea market! So what a surprise to suddenly feel like I was in Stars Hollow rather than home. (Though unlike the Battle of Stars Hollow, the red coats and Hessian mercenaries really did show up in Bound Brook.)
All weekend I kept hearing Lydia Bennet's voice from the 1995 Pride & Prejudice sighing while envisioning a whole campful of soldiers. That isn't actually a quote of Lydia from the book, but I never get tired of Julia Sawalha's delightful reaction to the idea of seeing so many soldiers in Brighton. I wonder if the young ladies of the area were equally swoony over the Colonial soldiers that were walking around town. I, for one, found the current-day soldiers on both sides of the battle charming. (And, I suspect, a lot cleaner than the men they were portraying.)

Do you run a responsible business?
The fact that your product is the best or the cheapest (or both) on the market may not be the sole reason your customers flock to you instead of your competitors. Many consumers choose to buy products and services from businesses that are good corporate citizens.
Corporate social responsibility is about owning the impact your business has on:
- the environment;
- the communities where you operate;
- your employees;
- your stakeholders;
- your customers;
- the general public.
Are you considering implementing corporate social responsibility into your operations? Check out our corporate social responsibility section for more information.
That's a mold-breaker. Great thinking!

Chief Johnson: Assault Weapons 'Excessive' for Public
The Baltimore County police chief decried gun violence on WYPR's Midday with Dan Rodricks radio show.
Baltimore County Police Chief James Johnson continued his crusade against civilians owning assault weapons during a Thursday appearance on WYPR's Midday with Dan Rodricks.
The police chief said opponents of assault weapon bans frequently cite home invasions as a reason to possess them, but pointed out that there is no "serious chronic problem with home invasions" in Baltimore County.
"An assault weapon is an excessive weapon for the public," Johnson told Midday listeners.
Johnson further noted that home invasions are commonly connected to drug-related incidents.
"You see it from time to time," he said.
Johnson caught the national spotlight Wednesday when he appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a hearing on gun violence. Conservative bloggers were put off when the chief, who started in his role in 2007, called National Rifle Association executive Wayne LaPierre's comments on tyranny "creepy."
"It was very clear that there was division in the room," he said on WYPR.
The full interview will be available on WYPR's website at a later time.
12:56 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
What ARE "assault weapons" Mr Johnson? If they are not suitable fro personal defense why in the world is the Dept of Homeland Security putting out bis for 7000 AR15'sa to be used as "Personal Defense Weapons"?\
Is HLS that ignorant to know that they are not suitable for "Personal Defense Weapons"?

"pointed out that there is no "serious chronic problem with home invasions" in Baltimore County."
Is the frequency of a certain crime relevant to the right to keep and bear arms Mr Johnson? If there are no bank robberies should we remove bank guards firearms?
What an ignorant comment Mr Johnson. the right to keep and bear arms was not a right given to us by you or the Federal government so you nor anyone else can take it away. You are violating your oath to uphold the laws as they are by your rabid attempt to infringe on our rights.

Thanks, Chief Johnson, for saying what needs to be said. Of course, this article is going to soon be filled with absurd, illogical arguments from the gun advocates who seem to not really be able to come up with any new, real arguments as to why everyone should be allowed to own (and carry) assault weapons. I have yet to hear a rational comment being made by any one of them. I'm getting tired of all the claims about what the 2nd amendment was intended to mean by our founders.
Timothy Byrd
1:11 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
First & foremost EDUCATE Yourself. Assault weapons are ILLEGAL for civilians to own because a Real assault weapon is what the Federal Agencies, Military & Police use because they fire Multiple Bullets with a single trigger pull or fire Continuously until the Assault weapon runs out of Bullets or they let the trigger go.

He deserves our support to be Replaced. He has no clue what is happening on the streets. There were TWO Home Invasions within a week where I live in Essex & I live across the street from the county refueling station. One of the home invasions firearms were stolen along with the gun case they were in.
Timothy Byrd
12:57 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
First & foremost Police Officials as well as Politicians need to call firearms by their proper name & stop referring to them as Assault weapons & misleading the public. An Assault weapon is what is used by the Police, Military & Federal agencies capable of Firing Multiple bullets with a Single pull of the trigger or Continuously firing until you release the trigger or run out of bullets. The True purpose of Law abiding American citizens owning the firearms in question is so if the Government be it State or Federal or both try to No longer Abide by the Laws that govern the individual state & federal government people would be on a somewhat equal fighting level to defend themselves against Tyranny of the Government & be unlawfully detained & or killed. The Police, Military & Federal agencies are the Only people that can legally own & use Assault weapons. The Only exception is if you are a Gun Collector & Obtain a License from the Federal government to own these types of firearms, which is a Very lengthy process & includes an extensive background investigation. Weapon use & storage have to meet Federal regulations & you are able to be inspected anytime the ATF "Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms" wants to do a Surprise inspection & there is a expensive cost per firearm that falls into this category.
1:25 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
their arguments against the Constitution are weak without the fear they instill in the false words they use.
1:28 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
You are not trying to solve the problem. You are part of the problem. Fanatic is a good word for you. Look it up.You feed fear. You twist language to suit fanatic illogical rants. A person that can not change their mind can not change anything. It isn't good guys and bad guys. It's unstable people having access to weapons. Listen to yourself - you don't want any rules for anything. That's anarchy. If you need more than 6 shots for anything I don't support you. We register cars and have rules about them. Guns kill more children than cars people. Be sane and support sane regulation man. Chief Johnson is not trying to persecute you - he wants to protect us regular people and his officers. I fully support him.
1:31 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
" Guns kill more children than cars people"
Factually incorrect. Unless you do like the civil rights deniers do and include "children" up to 18 years old who are murdered as gang bangers in cities like Chicago.
1:41 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Wrong Tim Bird, an assault weapon is either classified as an automatic assault weapon or a semi-automatic assault weapon. You can make up your definitions all you wish. In actuality, semi-automatic is more dangerous as you are more accurate with it.
1:44 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
"You can make up your definitions all you wish."
That is EXACTLY what the civil rights deniers have done, made the definition up using arbitrary attachments to a semi auto firearm.
The DHS says they want 7000 for "PERSONAL DEFENSE"!
1:55 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Joe, that's why they call it an arms race, isn't it? Guess who wins? No one.
3:12 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
"If you need more than 6 shots for anything I don't support you. "
If you need more than 6 words to express your feelings I do not support you and your 1st amendment rights should be taken away form you.
3:44 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
"The True purpose of Law abiding American citizens owning the firearms in question is so if the Government be it State or Federal or both try to No longer Abide by the Laws that govern the individual state & federal government people would be on a somewhat equal fighting level to defend themselves against Tyranny of the Government."
This is utter nonsense. What good have your precious firearms been to prevent intrusion of the government on individual rights?
Laura M.
12:57 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
funny thing, assault weapons aren't accessible to the general public.
AR15s, on the other hand, are no different from any other semiautomatic rifle...and if they're going to ban civilians from having access, they'd better make sure the police don't have them either. police are civilians, too.
1:44 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Laura M., there are many differences, a big one is in the round that is fired. Go read Laura, you'll learn something. You ever fire an AR15 or similar?
Laura M.
1:45 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
@Fifa, i own one. what's your point? it's less powerful than a hunting rifle.
1:53 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
I wish the Sandy Hook killer had brought your gun to school. There would be a lot more kids alive today, eh Joe?
Laura M.
1:54 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
@FIFA, the .223/5.56 round is less likely to penetrate large game, and is not recommended for hunting large game. look up ballistics if you're really interested in the facts.
that said, go here and watch the videos: http://falnfenix.blogspot.com/2008/11/evil-black-guns.html
2:08 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Psst, Laura, are humans "large game"? Some apparently think so. What does the .223 round do to humans Laura, at close range, aimed at the head of children, please tell us? I'm sure you know.
Laura M.
2:09 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Fifa, are you attempting to insinuate that i am a murderer? you'd be horribly wrong.
2:12 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Laura, I did no such thing and that accusation is offensive. I asked you a straightforward question.
Laura M.
2:13 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
you're insinuating that i would know what a .223 round does to a juvenile human skull. i would not have a clue, other than the body mass of an adult human is similar to that of an adult deer. your comment reads like you're calling me a murderer, however, and i do not appreciate that.
2:36 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
The .223 NATO round was not designed to kill but to maim. It was designed to remove the combatant from the field and remove one or more other combatants that would be used to take the wounded out of battle.

When FIFA runs out of logic he immediately results to bait statements that mean nothing...like "Psst"...what the hell is that crap about FIFA..! Stay sharp ond on point or go play somewhere else..
3:08 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Gee Joe Sanchez, why does the AR15 look-a-likes appear to be the weapon of choice in these mass murders? Are you telling me the killers have chosen the wrong weapon? Eh, Joe?
3:09 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
@Laura, the weapon of choice of these mass murderers is the AR15? The have chosen this weapon for their "hunt"? Are they dumb?
3:10 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
@Joe, I guess the 20 Sandy Hook kids got removed from the "field". Eh, Joe?
3:11 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Shut up Buck, no one invited you to the conversation, go butt in elsewhere.
Tell us about 9/11 Buck.
3:12 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
"There would be a lot more kids alive today, eh Joe?"
Pure speculation for emotional effect.
3:16 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
"why does the AR15 look-a-likes appear to be the weapon of choice in these mass murders? Are you telling me the killers have chosen the wrong weapon?"
More idiotic assumptions from you. All I noted was the design of the round as asked for by NATO. You can pull all the idiotic assumptions from that you care to but they will still be idiotic assumptions with no basis in fact.
"@Joe, I guess the 20 Sandy Hook kids got removed from the "field". Eh, Joe?"
Baiting comment with more idiotic assumptions where no basis exists.
3:50 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Joe Sanchez, you make more excuses than a 3 year old with their hand in the cookie jar.

Maybe there is no serious home invasion problem in Baltimore County is because
many Baltimore County citizens already own 'assualt ' weapons.

Only for irresponsible firearm owners who do not lock them in a safe or other secure container.
1:04 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Isn't it true that ANY weapon used to do bodily harm to another person considered an 'assault weapon'? This is not about gun control, it's about control. Stricter gun laws didn't work in Chicago. Prohibition worked well, didn't it? What about our drugs laws, how is that working out?
1:06 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
The only thing "Excessive" for the public is too much government. Time for another revolution if you ask me, we need to start over.
1:07 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
There are no assault weapons available to the public. Only the military and law enforcement have assault weapons.

Newtown Calls for Armed School Officers
The Newtown Board of Education wants more armed police officers in the town's four elementary schools after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Last night, they decided to ask the town to approve the request to include one additional full-time Newtown police at each of the elementary schools in next year's budget.
Members of the board will meet today with state and federal officials about obtaining additional funding for security.
"Our parents are demanding of us that things are made safe and secure and certain measures are put in place," Chairwoman Debbie Leidlein said. "So we're being very thoughtful."

Armed guard disarmed teen in Atlanta school shooting, says police chief
A student opened fire at his middle school Thursday afternoon, wounding a 14-year-old in the neck before an armed officer working at the school was able to get the gun away, police said.
Multiple shots were fired in the courtyard of Price Middle School just south of downtown around 1:50 p.m. and the one boy was hit, Atlanta Police Chief George Turner said. In the aftermath, a teacher received minor cuts, he said.
The NRA has been vindicated.

The "There are No Such Things Aa Assault Weapons" argument is getting pretty lame. You guys should lost that NRA talking point and move onto something else. It's not working...

1:47 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
I have to laugh at you. Really I'm a fanatic? Why because I disagree with Chief Johnsons claims? First, I know the difference between what people call Assault weapons & what really are Assault weapons, especially since I have served over 10 years in the US ARMY survived TWO TOURS IN IRAQ. I know Cars, Knives, & blunt objects kill more people than Firearms do. I know why the 2nd Amendment stands for? I am not against improving the policies that are in place but the Extreme level Maryland wants to take against firearms & what Democrats in DC want will basically leave LAW ABIDING citizens defenseless against Criminals & heaven forbid the Government does attempt to become a Tyranny & declares Martial Law & Military & Police go door to door & confiscate you Legally owned Firearms like they did in New Orleans. I'm far from a Fanatic I'm a realist.
1:51 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
LOL There you have it! Every NRA talking point/conspiracy theory condensed into just one post.
Lemme guess Tim.....your an Oafkeeper too?
Timothy Byrd
2:10 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
No Steve I'm not an Oatkeeper. I don't even belong to the NRA because I don't need anyone to speak on my behalf on my Rights that have been given to all American Citizens since the Birth of the Declaration of the Independence & the Bill of rights. I have served this Country in & out of Combat as a member of the US Army. I'm Not talking about any Conspiracy theory. Where in New Orleans when National Guardsmen & Police went door to door Confiscating Law Abiding citizens firearms & leaving them defenseless against anyone that still had a firearm & wanted to rob & rape & believe me the Police starting becoming those individuals & I am speaing from First hand experience because I was down there with the Baltimore City FD. Bottom line the 2nd Amendment is in place to allow Law Abiding citizens to remain as equally armed as possible as the Police & military are in case the Government attempts to become a Tyranny so those that are armed can fight against those such individuals.

@FIFA No I am not Wrong an assault weapon is not classified as an automatic assault weapon or a semi-automatic assault weapon. It has to have the capability to fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull or the capability to fire fully automatic which is what Federal agencies, Military & police use. I should know have over 10 years in the US ARMY & multiple Combat tours & unless your a current military member or ex military member which obviously you aren't or you would've know what a Real Assault weapon is. Your just like the un-educated politicians & civilians that want to claim they know more than someone that has had to use a REAL ASSAULT WEAPON. In actuality, there are more Powerful Hunting Rifles that are used compared the semi-automatic Assault rifles that everyone is so intimidated of because of it's looks.

@Bucky - I have posted it below. You notice no one else has questioned the link:

Then continues for many lines after that Bucky. Apology in order?

Nope...once again you are wrong FIFA...not sure what you're trying to pull here..but you added the word assault and nowhere in the link that you provided does it say that...get with it FIFA..!
3:47 pm on Friday, February 1, 2013
Buck, you are now certifiably nuts. How did I go to the government website and get it changed? Are you crazy? Stupid question, never mind. Do you hear Joe Sanchez defending you on this one? Ever wonder why?

Seems the majority feel their rights are being threatened by the government tasked to protect them. Tyranny is around the corner if this contiunes.
Majority Says the Federal Government Threatens Their Personal Rights
Views of Congress: Problem Lies with Members, Not the System
The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted Jan. 9-13 among 1,502 adults, finds that 53% think that the federal government threatens their own personal rights and freedoms while 43% disagree.

Buck, all it takes is money and you will find out. If you are soooo positive, put up some serious Romney type of cash. C'mon Buck, you are being called out. Giving up your man card.
If I am a liar as you say, you will take home a lot of pay! C'mon Buck, I bet some of your friends will back you. I'm sure Joe, Lorna, and Chris will help you out.

Sorry I got into this one late after the name calling off-topic slurs started.
To clarify some issues first off. "Assault Weapon" is a term that was established by legislators to classify characteristics of some guns. The ability of semi-automatic firing is the common feature. Other characteristics have to deal with detachable magazines and hardware mounted to the weapon (Telescoping stock, Pistol grip, Bayonet lug).
Assault rifles define a specific set of characteristics with weapon performance. All assault weapons have the ability to select the type of fire sequence, i.e. Single fire, burst or full automatic. They also are magazine fed.
Those people that understand guns know the classification is vague and does little to address leathality of a weapon.
As an example, you can take a Remington 1100 semi-automatic shotgun that is commonly used for hunting small game and bird hunting that is not classified an "assault weapon". Install a telescoping stock with a pistol grip and it is now an "assault weapon" per the assault weapon ban. In doing this modification you have done nothing to increase the leathality of the gun. This type of modification is commonly done for hunters with physical disabilities.
To put some perspective on this in a comparison, Maryland recently passed laws specifically against Pit Bulls. People came out of the woodwork about how unfair it was to single out one bread as inherently vicious or dangerous. Rants like " Its bad dog owners not the bread."
12:18 pm on Sunday, February 3, 2013
Weapons of mass destruction!
You make the case for tighter regulation than anyone has proposed. Way to go.
Rail on that you fanatics.
Tom Hope
12:20 pm on Sunday, February 3, 2013
I realize pit bulls have not gone in an elementary school and killed 20 children, but the logic doesn't stay consistent. The amount of damage and the amount of pit bull attacks warranted the issue be addressed in some manner. Pit Bull owner came out defending their animals , saying how loving they are and that their's is not dangerous and it is unfair to punish all because of irresponsible owners. Hmmm, sounds a bit familiar?
I recently got in to a debate with Clarence Mitchell IV on his WBAL radio show about why people need or should own these Military type weapons. Those that defend the 2nd Amendment point out the initial concern for citizens to be able to defend against a tyrannical government. C4 (as Mr. Mitchel goes by) made the argument that a citizen armed with an AR-15 would not stand a chance against an Apache Helicopter. To this I would agree however, I believe there would be a build up to the level of tyranny way before a President would order its military to fire on its citizens. Given that individual citizens that own weapons could form a militia to speak out against the tyranny and have firepower to back it. If you think this is far fetched consider what we experience here in Maryland with the single party government we have. We are the highest taxed state in several areas and they keep taking more and think nothing about spending more.

I find it fascinating that we are being maneuvered to keep our eye on the gun control issue..and another patch article is raving about how CCBC has invited Van Jones, an avowed communist and revolutionary as some sort of hero... a clean energy and human rights pioneer, in February as a guest lecturer for the President's Distinguished African-American Lecture Series. We are busy at the front door with the gun control maneuvers...and look at the interesting characters coming through the back door. Had to resign as a White House Czar...and is now landing on our community college campuses. Oh, sorry, this thread is all about gun control isn't it.
9:19 am on Monday, February 4, 2013
No Lorma. The thread is past gun control. It is fear and loathing. Consumed by "conservative" ignorant white (mostly but not always white) people that don't have a clue that the Chinese will eat their grandchildren's lunch if you don't get serious about funding a top notch public education system for this country. You are good at spreading alarm Lorma. Communists? Is that your real fear? Gays, blacks, foreigners? You rail for people that don't believe in paying their taxes. Anarchists. People that grab tabloid nonsense and half truths as fact and who ignore real facts and statistics. Guns are a societal and medical issue. The issue is not second amendment. You have let the kooks eat away at your other rights while being distracted. You don't utter a peep that your elected "conservative" politicians permit unfettered recording of all of your email, text, tweet and phone conversations. Or the lobby/politician industry that is where your real money goes. I think you have a right to bear arms - in the army. Not carry weapons of mass destruction in society. Is there a limit to the size of the gun you want - 30 mm? 55 mm? Do you want missiles too?

Roger..looks like I have touched a raw nerve. Sorry, I tend to do that on occasion. You see me as,,Conservative = ignorant, fear and loathing with no clue. I see you lumping gays, black, foreigners into your assessment of anti-communistic viewpoints. Let us review: 1) Where am I "railing" FOR people that don't believe in paying their taxes. My thought is actually QUESTIONING folks like Tim Geithner; 2) Name the anarchists you are referring to; 3) As for "kooks" eating away at our rights...not sure if "kooks" is the proper description, perhaps quite intelligent and very, very focused might better describe them; 4) "Guns are a societal and medical issue",,yes you might describe them as such until the wolf is at YOUR door and you have no protection...mmmm; and 5) no uttered peeps...my peeps are about who dares to attack our second amendment, both through the front door and the back...the issue being the Second Amendment. All your snarling, squealing, finger pointing, anger doesn't change reality one little bit. As for the limit of weapons...well in my estimation, depends upon the forward march of those who would put usunder, darling. Freedom is our wonderful blessing...paid for in many ways with the blood, sweat and tears of our magnificent citizens...worth due diligence and high end protection. And finally, Roger, my interchanges have always been focused on both sides of the political aisle. I suggest you stop "railing" and do you home work, darling.

Thugs pick on a 70 year old man thinking they have an easy mark. The easy mark had great gun control.
Martin Luther King Jr. High School coach shoots attackers
"Police sources tell 7 Action News that a women's basketball coach from Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School shot two men who attacked him as he was walking two basketball players to their cars in the school parking lot.
Police sources say the coach was walking the two girls to their cars when two men allegedly approached and one pulled out a gun and grabbed him by his chain necklace. The coach then pulled out his gun and shot both of them, according to sources.
The man who shot the attackers was 70 years old, according to police.
One of the attackers was found dead in the median on Lafayette Boulevard, and the other was taken to a local hospital, according to police sources. We've learned that both of the men had attended the high school, and one had been recently expelled.
Police sources say the coach has a Concealed Pistol License and is reportedly a reserve police officer. They say he is fully cooperating with authorities."
THIS IS GUN CONTROL! Hitting your targets! If he was in New York with the tyrants there he may have run out of rounds to protect the two young women.

Posts Tagged '2011 cma festival lineup'
Sure, Coachella and Bonnaroo are still two of the most celebrated music festivals in the States, but music fans in the Pacific Northwest know that they don't have to travel far to get the music festival experience. The Sasquatch Music Festival is held annually at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Wash. over Memorial Weekend, and with headliners like Vampire Weekend, Kid Cudi and Tegan and Sara, Sasquatch Music Festival tickets are sure to be major sellers this festival season. Get yours from StubHub.com before it's too late!
The first day of the Sasquatch Music Festival (Sat., May 29) will feature an impressive lineup comprised of Vampire Weekend, the National, My Morning Jacket, Deadmau5, Broken Social Scene, OK Go, Public Enemy, Wale, the Hold Steady, Miike Snow, Brother Ali, Minus The Bear, Z-Trip, the Very Best, Nurses, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, the Posies, Aziz Ansari and others. Things just get better each day at Sasquatch, as the batch of performers lined up for Sunday (May 30) include Massive Attack, Pavement, LCD Soundsystem, Kid Cudi, Tegan and Sara, They Might Be Giants, Kid Cudi, Dirty Projectors, Public Enemy, the xx, Girls, Booka Shade and Local Natives.
Monday is usually the dreaded first day of the work week for most 9-to-5ers, but not in George, Wash. on May 31, because those at the Sasquatch Music Festival will be listening to bands like MGMT, Ween, Band of Horses, Passion Pit and She & Him. Additional artists lined up to perform on the final day of Sasquatch 2010 include the New Pornographers, the Temper Trap, Drive-By Truckers, Boys Noize, Dr. Dog, Camera Obscura, Neon Indian and more.
The Sasquatch Music Festival is making steps towards becoming a greener event this time around by encouraging attendees to carpool to the Gorge Amphitheatre and is even offering prizes (thanks to the help of sponsor Esurance) for those who do. The 2010 edition is also certified carbon neutral by Carbon Harmony, a nationally-recognized clean energy consulting firm, according to the festival's official website. The three-day event will be 100 percent wind powered and Carbon Harmony will offset 125 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions produced during Sasquatch.
Honda is an official eco-partner of the 2010 edition of the Sasquatch Music Festival and will be showcasing the Honda CR-Z Sport Hybrid and the Insight at the Honda Hybrid Zone during the event. Music fans attending Sasquatch can also recharge their cell phones (campers, take note!) in the Honda Hybrid Zone. Esurance helped Sasquatch launch a recycling program in 2007 and last year the plan kept a whopping 4.5 tons of waste out of landfills—which is enough to coat 20 football fields with trash!
Founded by concert promoter Adam Zacks, the inaugural Sasquatch Music Festival was held in 2002 and featured Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Blackalicious, String Cheese Incident and others. Since then, artists like Death Cab for Cutie, the Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, Ghostland Observatory, Nine Inch Nails, Matisyahu and others have made Sasquatch a regular stop while on the summer music festival circuit each year.
