The Chicken and the Egg
Italy - 11 Apr 12 - Elisabeth Paul
Buying a simple carton of eggs can turn into a nightmare for consumers wanting to make a sustainable and ethical choice. Does 'free-range' really mean the open fields we envision and if not how good was the laying hen's life? What was the diet of the birds, considering organics, GMOs, the type of feed? How far did the eggs travel; are they fresh and healthy? One of the best solutions is to source eggs directly from a producer at a farmers' market or from a reputable retailer. In large cities tracking down good local eggs becomes even more of a treasure hunt, however it is possible as one small-scale farmer is proving on the outskirts of Milan. The dedicated efforts of Irene De Carpegna, who left her career in psychology to pursue holistic farming when she inherited a farm in the 1980's, is bringing eggs produced according to high ethical and environmental standards to inhabitants of Italy's largest city. At Cascina Santa Brera, a 25-hectare farm in the Parco Agricolo Sud di Milano – a green area reserved for agriculture, conservation and education forming a half-ring south of the city - around 350 chickens and several roosters pass happy lives grazing Irene's fields along-side pigs, cows and vegetables crops. The chickens spend their days clucking about on the grass, protected from predators by an electric fence, and spend the evenings in a portable wooden henhouse. "Each henhouse houses up to 120 birds to ensure the 'community' doesn't become anonymous," explained Irene. "If you put chickens together in bigger groups they will not be able to recognize each other and then the birds become stressed and aggressive towards one another." Intensive chicken farming overcomes this problem by trimming the beaks of hatchlings, usually without the use of anaesthetic. "Hens that live on the lawn need their beak for proper nutrition, to peck around for worms and insects, which have important nutritional value," explained Irene. "For this reason, we started to raise hatchlings on the farm, to ensure their wellbeing and ensure they can live a natural lifestyle while they are producing eggs for us." Built on platforms with wheels, the henhouses are moved around the farm regularly to ensure that there is enough food for the birds to forage; to allow the pastures to recover; and to keep diseases at bay by stopping continuous contact to faeces. Early each Monday morning the henhouse are moved, the fence is re-set and the hens are released to start the new day on a new lawn, full of nutritious treasures and excitement. The birds' outdoor diet of grubs, worms, insects, grass seed and the like is rich in proteins and chlorophyll, which increases the taste of the eggs and lowers the cholesterol content. They are also fed an organic cereal mixture from a local supplier who also uses cereals harvests on the Cascina Santa Brera. Free-range hens produce around 160 eggs a year on average, compared to 250 eggs per year from an industrial laying hen. But while the productivity is much higher in factory-farmed chicken operations, the hens only live to around 18 month compared to at least three years on Irene's farm. The chickens lay around 48,000 eggs (2.4 tons) per year. These are sold directly from the farm shop, used in the agriturismo and sold at various outlets in Milan. This constitutes just 0.021% of the overall production in the Lombardia Region, and 5,000 more similar-sized operations would be need to meet demand, but importantly it shows us what is possible. Consumers can be as happy about cooking their Sunday breakfast egg as the hen was fossicking around in the dirt before laying it. But it's essential that we search out the responsible producers and support them. Find a way to bring eggs to your community – ask retailers to stock them, start a farmers' market, ensure eggs are included in food box schemes or form an egg buyers group. Despite the terrible industry standard of battery chicken farming, laying hens can be raised in a manner that well and truly achieves a good, clean and fair standard. Cascina Santa Brera also organizes workshops for farmers and a CSA scheme for consumers, rent-a-plot projects for nearby city dwellers and Agriturismo accommodation for visitors.

Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...!!!
Wally: Hey Ben. Hey Ben. You saw me run right by those guys right.
Ben: Yes Mike you were fast.
Wally: That's right I'm fast. You might want to mention it to Charlie for me. I'm an elite WR and only talk to elite players.
Ben: Roger that Mike.
Wally: Hey Coach. Hey Coach. You might wanna remind Mr Rooney I ran by those guys right there.
Mike T: Should I tell him you ran by the ball too?
Wally: Yep, you tell him Charlie's a limp wristed chump and I'm the greatest WR ever. With a good QB I woulda scored and you know it coach.
Mike T: So you ran by the ball on purpose.
Wally: Yep so you can see why Young Money needs to see it rain.
Mike T: Anything else you want me to tell him.
Wally: Yeah coach, yeah. Tell him that an Elite WR needs an Elite QB. And if Mr Rooney wants to get the best out of his investment, give me Ben's contract and then go get Aaron Rodgers to throw me the ball.
Mike T: You want me to tell Mr Rooney to get rid of Ben.
Wally: Yep.
Mike T: You one trick crazy.
Wally: And tell him I need an elite coach. Elite WRs need Elite coaches.
Mike T: Let me run that by him.
Wally: Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Tell Mr Rooney I run right by him too.
Flippy needs to start an elite WR Facebook conversation to rival the elite QB Facebook conversation.
Yes, he's gone beyond expectations. And, I agree that he is not to blame for the loss. He didn't play well, but we also missed opportunities to get him the ball when he did get open.
However, Wallace has never high-pointed the ball well nor drawn interference through body position well. It hardly matters where Wallace came from at this point. He has been in the league for 4 years. He should be improving in these areas.
I'm a Wallace fan. I like him. He seems like a good guy personally. Still, some simple tweaks to his game could yield big results and lead to us winning more games. I'm disappointed that he is not more aggressive when the ball is in the air.
2013 Draft
1 Ezekial Ansah OLB BYU 65 271 (sky high potential)
2 Khaseem Greene ILB Rutgers 61 241 (cat quick, explosive hitter)
3 Steadman Bailey WR WVU 510 193 (fantastic route runner)
4 LeVeon Bell RB Michigan St 61 230 (Good fit for zone scheme)
5 J. J. Wilcox SS Ga Southern 6 213 (athletic, fluid in coverage)
6 Omoregie Uzzi OG Georgia Tech 63 302 (quick, zone gem)
7 Micah Hyde CB Iowa 6 197 (rangy corner with speed)
7 Vinston Painter OT Virginia Tech 64 305 (athletic OL project)
I still don't understand how you break off a deep route while running full speed past the defense and are some how responsible for coming back to an under thrown ball by about 5- 10 yards and beat a defender who already has position on you because the pass was that bad. This borders on laughable at some point to blame the WR for a QBs ineptitude.
"God Save the Tui Bird!"
Sorry Jooser but I'm the complete opposite of you. I'm normally a Wallace defender but in a game where players have to step it up due to all the injuries this team has he was very lackadasical. Wallace, as the receiver, is the first to see the ball in the air. If he can't put the brakes on and then use his supposed high vertical leaping ability to at least knock the ball down he needs to re-evaluate the class of receiver he is. Maybe he ought to watch some tapes of a guy who was a master at that ... Randy Moss. He often would slow up and then out jump the defender for the ball.
I've never thought of Wallace as "elite" but I did think he was the next level down. He was starting to run all the routes and make all the plays but this year he has seriously declined. I don't recall him ever dropping as many passes as he has this year. Hell, I didn't even blame him for not making a play on the ball Lefty short-hopped to him last week. But this week, when we needed people to step up, he didn't catch the short pass a little behind him that was intercepted and the two deep balls he didn't fight for. He HAS to do better if he wants to stay on this team. Otherwise start Sanders and Brown (when healthy) and use Wallace as the 3rd receiver like in his rookie year.
Yeah Wally needed to soup can the Browns DBs. Elite WRs can eat soup off guys heads too.
I agree the the pass he dropped was on him. But guys, the long ball wasn't just a little short, it was very short. Charlie Batch took full responsibility for that one. The momentum is on the side of the defenders because they didn't have to adjust and put the brakes on like Wallace would've had to. He would have needed a 6 foot vertical to win that one after changing direction and losing all of his momentum.
"God Save the Tui Bird!"

Not only does he have three international medals, but he was also the second alternate for the 2010 US Olympics' Speedskating Team.
Justin, son of Shannon and Branden Stelly, started skating at a very early age. When he was only four-years-old, he would watch his uncle skate with a local team in Abbeville.
He began skating in 1992 and his parents quickly recognized their young son's talent.
After skating with the Abbeville team for a few months, Justin moved on to Lafayette's Skate Zone in '93 where he spent 13 years inline speedskating for their local team. During this time, Stelly competed against groups from all over the United States.
In 2006, the year after he graduated from Kaplan High, Justin decided to relocate to Salt Lake City, Utah where the U.S. Olympic Speedskating Team is headquartered.
For Stelly, this move was a leap of faith. He did not know anyone; in fact, Justin reveals, "I went to Salt Lake on a prayer. I packed my car and went on my own. I had to find a training team and start from scratch. I was just another roller skater who wanted to ice skate."
Prior to 2006, Justin had never ice skated before. But his prayers paid off. After just a year and two months of ice skating practice, he was ranked third in the country and was given a spot on the U.S. World Team.
In 2008, Justin slid into a wall while skating and broke his ankle. After a grueling two month recovery, he began training for the Olympic trials.
Still battling his injury, Stelly was short two spots and ended up as an alternate for the 2010 Olympics' US Ice Speedskating Team. He held the distinction of being the only skater from Louisiana to make the team.
Justin speaks of not fully meeting his goal, "It was frustrating. Everything I worked for and put myself into position for was taken away by an injury."
After his injury, he deviated from ice skating but did not give up inline. He continued to inline skate and hone his skills.
In December of 2011, disaster struck again when the skater tore the meniscus in his knee. Needing a break, Stelly returned to Kaplan to have surgery and recover. Little did he know, upon returning to Salt Lake City in early 2012, that this would turn out to be the best season of his life.
Justin had a late start in training, and by April he didn't feel that his knee was back to where it should be. However, he continued to train, but ended up receiving tough results in the July nationals. This still didn't deter Stelly; he kept right on training.
In August, Justin received better results and qualified for the 2012 Inline World Championship Team.
After training for two weeks, Justin flew to Italy where he competed in the 2012 World Championships in Ascoli Piceno (track) and San Benedetto Del Tronto (road), Italy from September 6-15.
This would serve as a great experience for the skater, as he broke through a level of discomfort and ended up with great results.
Being known as a talented rain skater in the United States, Stelly was chosen to compete in the 500 meter inline sprint due to inclement weather. It was Justin's moment to shine, and he earned his first world medal -- a bronze.
From there, Justin traveled to Columbia for the National Championships. He won a gold in the 20K elimination road and a silver in the 1K meter on track.
The reason these two medals are such an accomplishment is the fact that Colombia is a difficult country to compete in.
Inline skating is one of this country's official sports, making the competition that much stronger.
Justin also qualified to represent team USA at the 2013 World Games in Cali Columbia which is the inline equivalent to the Olympics.
Next year the trials, for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, will be held. Stelly plans to try out for the US Long Track Ice skating Team. Currently, he trains six to eight hours each day in order to perfect his skills.
Over the years, speedskating has taken Justin to many different countries including Korea, Japan, Germany, Taiwan, Italy, Switzerland, Norway, Argentina, Columbia, Canada and Mexico. His parents have been a constant source of support since the beginning. Whenever possible, they accompany Justin to his competitions and help root him on to victory.
Discussing his passion for the sport she states, "It's what I'm comfortable doing. I've been skating my whole life. Growing up, I got a lot of weird looks because it isn't a major sport here. But it was the one thing I was good at, so I stuck with it."

Thanks Eeveelover824 for the animated banner!
For me, Team Plasma had the best reasons,
but Team Galactic was like the darkest and the most evil.
I said Team Galactic because no only did they try to destroy the universe as a whole, but they got pretty close to succeeding. Also, their leader's behavior made me think he was a psychopath; he was pretty insane.
"I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."
My Favorite pokemon:
Cyrus never said that he was going to recreate a world "in his image," just that he was going to recreate it without spirit. A review of his quotes from Platinum on Bulbapedia reveals no instance of any version of the phrase "in my image." However, he did say that he intended to create a new world solely for himself, which implies that there would be no other living beings in his world. This is also evidenced by that fact that he regards the old state of the universe as ideal, the state in which only time flowed and space expanded. The state in which there was no life or spirit present to give rise to strife and corruption. A universe in which only he lived would be his ideal world, because it would only have his spirit to contend with, and he had proven that, except in the event of a mental breakdown, he was very apt at suppressing his own spirit. But even then, if he had the power to destroy every trace of spirit, then who's to say that he would be incapable of destroying his own?
Why isn't there an option for Neo Team Plasma?
They're completely different than B/W Team Plasma!
Anyways, I choose Team Plasma.
Either Galactic or Plasma. I'll say Plasma just becazse I don't like Galactic goons' haircuts.
Team Plasma for the coolest plot, Team Rocket because they're awesome xD
Thus the earth shall turn to Ash
Hey Slowking, need some pants?
Team Plasama was the most interesting because they were so morally ambiguous for much of the game (and I love that they made the group split in mindset/purposes for B2/W2). But team Galactic was a lot of fun; they reminded me of over-the-top comic book supervillains.
It'll always be Team Rocket for me.
Celebrating 15 years of Pokemon, now through December 2013
My Shinies:
Currently hunting/MM'ing:
I hate chaining. -_-
YOu got me here... Though if he were to destroy his own spirit, he would not have cared about it n the end, making the entire thing useless for him, even if he wanted to rid the universe from spirit, as it would not exist, life would not really exist either. We would merely be robots out of flesh and bones, thus having destroyed life too, while he did want everyone to wake up in a world without spirit, but without spirit, waking up is impossible :P
For nostalgic reasons I like Team Rocket the best.
I liked Aqua and Plasma too though (: What the gamemakers did with Ruby and Sapphire and there being two teams, was a nice twist.
I made a thread just like this. COOL! Galactic.

In these days we have been adding 2D texture arrays to the Texture Class and we have committed this new feature today into the CVS.
1. Overview
I found the Overview Paragraph of the OpenGL specification for EXT_texture_arrays pretty clear, so it follows an edited "copy and paste" of it:
more details at: http://developer.download.nvidia.com/op ... _array.txt... A 2d array texture is a collection of two-dimensional images of identical size and format, arranged in layers ... The depth specify the number of layers in the image. An array texture is accessed as a single unit in a programmable shader, using a single coordinate vector. A single layer is selected, and that layer is then accessed as though it were a two-dimensional texture. The layer used is specified using the "t" or "r" texture coordinate for 2D array textures, respectively. The layer coordinate is provided as an unnormalized floating-point value in the range [0,<n>-1], where <n> is the number of layers in the array texture. Texture lookups do not filter between layers, though such filtering can be achieved using programmable shaders. When mipmapping is used, each level of an array texture has the same number of layers as the base level; the number of layers is not reduced as the image size decreases. This extension does not provide for the use of array textures with fixed-function fragment processing.
2. Usage
As stated in the specification texture arrays must be used in conjunction with a fragment shader. The gp4 Fragment Program (gp4fp) profile must be used to compile the fragment shader source code.
To create a 2D texture array:
- Code: Select all
mtex_0 = TexturePool.load_2d_texture_array("textures/south00#.jpg");
model.setShaderInput('mtex_0', mtex_0)
To access the texture array within the fragment program:
- Code: Select all
//Cg profile gp4fp
void fshader(float3 l_texcoord:TEXCOORD0
uniform sampler2DArray mtex_0:TEXUNIT0)
o_color = tex2DARRAY(mtex_0,l_texcoord);
3. Why texture arrays?
The motivation for the texture arrays technique is performance. 2D texture arrays can be used to draw a multi-textured model in one pass (reducing state changes), or can be used in conjunction with hardware instancing to render different instances of a model with a different texture.

The man who can do it all!
Ian Terence Botham, arguably England's most famous cricketer and one of the great all-rounders the game has seen, was born on 24 November 1955 in Heswall, Cheshire. While a controversial player both on and off the field at times, Botham also held a number of Test cricket records, and still holds the record for the highest number of wickets taken by an England bowler (383). He also has 14 Test centuries to his name; and also took 145 wickets and scored 2113 runs in ODIs. In March 1980, Botham played for Scunthorpe United, where he played as a centre half and made 11 appearances in the Football League. Botham was part of the trio of Sir Viv Richards and Joel Garner, who were central to Somerset's golden age in the early 1980s. Botham, who is now a TV commentator with Sky, was knighted in 2007. One of the main highlights of his Test career was the 1981 Ashes Tour, which was known as Botham's Ashes for his stellar show. He is also a prodigious fundraiser for charitable causes, undertaking long-distance charity walks and doing untold work for leukaemia research.

Oneida Nation Float to roll in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
NEW YORK -- For the fifth straight year, the Oneida Nation-sponsored float, "The True Spirit of Thanksgiving," will roll through the streets of New York City Thursday in the 86th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Representatives of more than one dozen Indian nations from across the country plan to accompany the float as it spreads a message of peace and thanksgiving.
The diverse group makes up a choir joining Grammy-winning Native American artist Thirza Defoe singing "The Tree of Life." The song celebrates the gathering together of many voices in the name of peace, love and thanksgiving.
The float represents the Oneida Nation's story of creation, featuring a 30-foot White Pine "Tree of Peace" growing from the back of Turtle Island, symbolizing Mother Earth.

On Feb. 11, 1963, Sylvia Plath was found dead in her London flat. With her young son and daughter locked in an upstairs bedroom, she gassed herself in the kitchen. She had long battled depression. This final, deadly bout began the previous summer when her marriage to the poet Ted Hughes disintegrated, a casualty of his infidelity. At her death, Plath had written more than 220 poems, a novel, short stories, a children's book, essays, letters — most of the work unpublished. She was 30.
When her poetry collection "Ariel" appeared in 1966, it became a sensation. Using vivid, precise language, Plath documented subjects vital to her — motherhood, marriage, betrayal, suicide. In poems like "Daddy" and "The Applicant," searing indictments of a disloyal husband, Plath accosted Hughes with a fury rarely seen in literature. Hers was a singular, powerful female voice.
There is really too much here to even competently respond too. First, the writing is excellent and the subject speaks for itself. However, the destruction of Ms. Plath represented far more than Hughes's, what the writer would call, unfaithfulness. Sylvia's demise was and is representative of the dysfunction of western morality regarding not only marriage but the very act of living itself. The expectations game of how life itself should look, should be lived and experienced leads some to believe that in so much as their lives do not match up with the culture's expectations that they have failed and that this failure is utter and total.
Neither Hughes nor Plath were able to see the other person. Both could only see the title husband or wife and the person who wore the title ceased to exist. The very person they became attached to disappeared in a title. Oddly in the west where personal freedom is so admired and so discussed our actual beliefs lead to the burying of the individual behind a massive structure of "expected" behaviors and beliefs.
Both Ms. Plath and Mr. Hughes sought a freedom that was a vision of what life should look like, but neither could turn it into a fact. Ms. Plath for her own part from my viewpoint was unable to deal with the thought of what life could be as opposed to what she thought it should be. She has always been a sad tale of the destructiveness of western culture to true individual freedom.

Thanks Paul for the insightful and informative article about Sylvia Plath. Her story reminds us of the destructive nature of depression which, tragically, often goes undiagnosed until after a suicide.
You say "Today, women enjoy and unprecedented level of success." Status by what measure? Income, status and power?
If women must succumb to these traditional patriarchical standards, I fear for the future of the most vital element of society, the family, and the children and marriages who take a back seat to chasing the vacuous holy grail of income, status and power.

Well gee "Kitch" I live in the west but if one desires I can comment on the East. The inability of mankind to respect the individual within any given culture can be an interesting topic. However, the discussion here was Plath and not Islamic societies. It would however be quite easy to point out the fallacies of the East. Yet there would seem to me to be no point to it. As I said I live in the West and I look here to make cultural changes not to the broader world in which I have no impact, given the little impact I can have here.
Actually where we part company "Kitch" is that I see both religions Islam and Christianity as one; both western, two; as the cause of the loss of individual freedom in the West. I do not view Islam as something seperate from the western view of monotheism. Nor do I see Islam the "religion" as an opponent of the West but merely as another outgrowh of the monotheistic views developed historically in the West. Now the depths of Islams slide into "fundamentalism" is a political issue whereas the impact of the "religion" itself just as with "Christianity" is a philosophical issue.
I remain respectful of your view of Islam and in many ways agree with you, however what I view as your "obsession" with it has more to do with a sense that you miss an important overarching philosophical question regarding "freedom", womens rights, and in fact the very point of living.
In terms of Plath then the relationship is one of possibilities verses the "expectations" of this monotheistic culture where "right" and "wrong" are predetermined by "big daddy in the sky". As to the huge struggle between Islam and the West I frankly don't see it. Political Islam if it has not already is reaching its zenith, it is not viable in the modern world and like communism will die of its own inertia except it will do so more rapidly. What won't die so rapidly is the "expectations" of the individual within culture that both religions will leave behind.
Well "kitch" I don't even see it on level with those two relatively long term aberrations. We agree on the fundamentals so I don't consider our disagreement to its importance as that big a deal. We will just agree to disagree on its fundamental importance. As I said though it really doesn't have anything to do with Plath.

Sugars in fruit: Friend or foe?
It's part of the mum-lore: kids claim they're hungry so we send them to the fruit bowl. But now some scientists and dietary experts are claiming that fruit – or more precisely, the sugar in it – may be contributing to the global obesity issue.
That information could send a panic through the mum community – if fruit becomes a food baddie, what are we meant to let our kids snack on next? Lean beef and brown rice?
Dietitians Association of Australia spokesperson Clare Evangelista says parents don't need to fret – fruit is still a dietary friend, although she admits that nowadays it is recognised among dietitians that there needs to be limits on intake.
"It's no longer believed that we can eat as much fresh fruit as we like – although I'm not sure that message has filtered out into the community," she says.
"It's true that fruit contains sugar in the form of fructose and kilojoules, so we don't encourage excessive eating of fruit. Like everything, it should be eaten in moderation and we should try to have a varied diet."
The fruit fight
It seems fructose, the main carbohydrate present in fruit – and many processed foods – is the substance some researchers and scientists are blaming.
Former lawyer, Queenslander David Gillespie, wrote a book called Sweet Poison in which he argued fructose doesn't satisfy hunger and in fact encourages people to keep eating which is leading to the global weight gain.
He does claim, however, that fructose in fresh pieces of fruit is okay – it's the fructose in fruit juice and the corn syrup which sweetens so many processed foods that is the main culprit.
There have been several studies which have supported this theory including a recent US study which concluded that high-fructose corn syrup leads to higher weight-gain – in rats, anyway.
And a Melbourne anaesthetist, Rod Tayler, was recently reported in the media saying his own trial had found that restricting fresh fruit in the diet could result in weight loss.
Serve fruit or not?
Keep encouraging your child to eat between one and three serves of fresh fruit a day, says Clare.
"Of course fruit is not the enemy, but it's also not the only option when it comes to healthy snacks," she says.
"If they've had enough fruit that day, offer your kids something else. It's important to offer a variety of foods each day so you know that your child is getting all the food groups."
She advises mums to try to steer clear of serving the sugar-loaded fruit juices unless they are heavily diluted, and to read food packaging to try to limit corn syrup intake.

Cotton Harvest
By: Sam Nichols
Updated: November 15, 2008
This year, however, officials at the USDA Cotton Office in Abilene, estimate Big Country cotton production will be down 50-60%. One of the most important factors contributing to this year's estimated decline was bad weather last May and June, when dry conditions and strong winds got cotton off to a poor start. Some Texas famers also simply chose to plant crops that are less financially demanding, like corn or soybeans
Local officials warn this could mean less disposable imcome for farmers to circulate into the local economy. Cotton farmers are already looking ahead to their next Spring's planting, and try to play a guessing game with an unsure global economy.

The Ed Show | January 08, 2013
>>> good evening, americans, and welcome to "the ed show" from new york. the battle over sensible gun laws has finally reached a tipping point. this is "the ed show." let's get to work.
>> 20 heartbroken families lost a child in the sandy hook school shooting . i know how much it hurts. my 9-year-old daughter was murdered in the tucson shooting.
>> two years after the tragedy in tucson , gabrielle giffords is taking the nra head-on. and a powerful new ad calls for courage in congress.
>> whose child has to die next?
>> senator barbara boxer is here on the progress.
>>> sheriff joe arpaio has a posse patrolling around arizona schools. tonight we'll try to find the truth about arming public school teachers.
>>> congressman steve palazzo wanted aid when his district was ravaged by hurricane katrina , yet voted down sandy aid. he took a hypocritical tour of sandy damage today.
>>> congress has hit a new low.
>> say ah!
>> ah.
>> say ah!
>> ah.
>> even root canals are more popular. bob shrum and howard fineman are here to assess the damages. on the heels of the horrific massacre in newtown , connecticut, something needs to change. here is one reason why. two years ago today, a gunman opened fire in tucson , arizona, in a parking lot . he shot 19 people, including congresswoman gabrielle giffords . with a gun carries 33 rounds and a magazine of ammunition. six people died, including one child. the mother of that child now has a strong message for our elected leaders in washington.
>> 20 heartbroken families lost a child in the sandy hook school shooting . i know how much it hurts. my 9-year-old daughter was murdered in the tucson shooting. i have one question for our political leaders . when will you find the courage to stand up to the gun lobby ? whose child has to die next? to every mother, we cannot wait. we have to demand a plan. go to demandaplan.org and add your name.
>> the ad is part of a campaign of the group mayors against illegal guns . demand a plan has a three-step solution to reduce gun violence in america . they want a criminal background check for every gun sold in the country. a ban on assault weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines. and they want to make gun trafficking a federal crime , all common sense stuff. groups like demand a plan want to keep the focus on this issue as vice president joe biden and his task force hold meetings this week to create a path forward. tomorrow, wednesday, the vice president will meet with the victims groups and gun safety efforts. on thursday he is going to meet with sportsmen and gun ownership groups across america . on friday, the president invited the national rifle association to sit at the table for discussion. the nra said nothing about the meeting other than this brief statement. "we got an invite late friday. we are sending a representative to hear what they have to say." retired army general stanley mcchrystal is the latest voice for common sense change in america on gun laws . the general spoke on msnbc this morning about the types of assault weapons used in these mass shootings.
>> when it hits the human body , the effects are devastating. it's designed to do that. and that's what our soldiers ought to carry. i personal hi don't think there is any need for that kind of weaponry on the streets, and particularly around the schools in america . i believe that we've got to take a serious look. i understand everybody's desire to have whatever they want. but we've got to protect our children. we've got to protect our police. we've got to protect our population.
>> compare mcchrystal's comments from those from the other side.
>> 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms. it doesn't matter how many lems you get out there on the street, begging for them to have their guns taken. we will not relinquish them. do you understand?
>> the lines are being drawn. members of the right wing fringe are using fear and fantasy to end the debate over gun legislation. a caller to my radio show this afternoon sounded more sensible. this gentleman is a gunowner and hunter from kansas, the middle of the country.
>> i am appalled as a gunowner and an ethical sportsman, i am appalled by the level of gun violence in this country. gunowners ought to be leading the charge to end this gun violence . if you love guns, and if you love your hunting heritage, my god, how does your stomach not turn at the violence that's committed out there with things that you claim to love?
>> matt from kansas is not the only gunowner who feels this way.
>> you have a gun.
>> yes, a glock.
>> you still have a glock?
>> gaby and i are gun owners . we're strong supporters.
>> it's the common sense consensus you're going for?
>> we are. and i think most gunowners are in the same camp with us.
>> gabrielle giffords and her husband mark kelly used the second anniversary of her shooting to push back against the gun lobby . in a joint op said ed for usa today , they wrote americans for responsible solutions, which we are launching today, will invite people from around the country to join a national conversation about gun violence prevention. we'll raise the funds necessary to balance the influence of the gun lobby , and we'll line up squarely behind leaders who will stand up for what's right, the children of sandy hook elementary school and all victims of gun violence deserve fellow citizens and leaders who have the will to prevent gun violence in the future. giffords and kelly made their announcement after visiting with families in newtown , connecticut. kelly says they are committed to a common sense approach to gun laws .
>> i bought a gun at walmart recently, and i went through a background check . and why can't we just make it more difficult for criminals and the mentally ill to get guns?
>> but the nra would say to you they can get them illegally.
>> i don't agree with that. the gun lobby even opposes a gun purchaser being checked against the terrorist watch list . i mean, doesn't that seem like a common sense thing to do?
>> background checks are common sense to the american people . 94% of the public believes all gun buyers should have a background check . the gun lobby , they have fought against this. more than 60% of the public want a ban on semiautomatic weapons, like the one used in newtown and also aurora, colorado. it's not going to be easy to push back. the gun lobby is in the full campaign mode, a coalition of gun groups will hold a gun appreciation day on january 19th , two days before the presidential inauguration . but gabby giffords and mark kelly are the voices of authority in this entire climate. giffords is the strongest possible advocate at this time for a moment to get common sense laws on the books.
>> when it can happen to children in a classroom, it's time to say --
>> enough.
>> giffords is right. enough is enough. if it's not enough now, will it never be enough? the bottom line here, folks, is that we are at a crossroads in this country in this conversation. if we don't do it now, when are we going to do it? when do the people's opinion matter to the lawmakers in congress? how many more children do we have to see die? and how many more bogus promotional sound bites do we have to have from the national rifle association that don't tell the truth about gun violence in this country? it's not just laws, it is a societal problem. but we have to take the step forward and do something right. i'm a sportsman. i've hunted for over 35 years. do i look like a guy who wants to see my firearms and my freedoms being taken away? no, of course not. but there are sensible laws. you know, we're right now operating on a document that is archaic in many ways. the constitution in the second amendment, the right to bear arms, they didn't have machine guns back then, and they didn't have high capacity clips back then. they had muskets. and the constitution has latitude for us to move on this, because society has changed, attitudes have changed, technology and manufacturing has changed. and the death on our streets in this country have changed. and we need to do something about it. but just like the couple you just saw, the congresswoman and her husband, it takes courage that they are showing america tonight. they need to get involved, and they are. they are leading. and it is about leadership. get your is ocell phones out. tonight's question, should responsible leaders speak up about gun legislation? text a for yes and b for no. you can go to our blog at ed.msnbc.com. we'll bring you the results later on in the show.
>>> joining me tonight from california is senator barbara boxer . senator, great to have you with us tonight.
>> great to be with you.
>> you bet. you have been on the front lines for many years about gun violence in this country. and it has got to be more than conversation at this point. what has motivated you over the years to be so passionate about doing something about the societal problem we have?
>> well, ed, for me it started in 1993 . i was a new senator when a gunman with an assault-style weapon walked into a law office in san francisco , 101 california street , and the result was mayhem. and one of those lost in that shooting was one of my son's best friends, a law school compatriot of his. and this young man threw himself over his wife, who was there visiting him at the law office and saved her. i can't get over that. my family can't get over that. but it's not about me, and it's not about them, because since then, since 1993 , there have been 47 mass shootings, and so many more added to the list of deaths, unneeded deaths and injuries. and, you know, i think there are moments in our history that are pivotal moments, and we change. and we all come out and say, you know, regardless of our opinion and a lot of other things, we need to have some common sense here. i think there was something about the slaughter of those babies that brought us together. and i am so grateful to gabby and mark, because they have so much credibility as gunowners themselves, gabby as a victim, knowing what happened to her. i think it's one of those moments. do you know, ed, more people are killed on the streets of america in two years than in the ten years of the vietnam war ? and i was around when everyone said no to the vietnam war , no to the iraq war . this is another kind of a war. and we have more control over it if we have the courage.
>> can we win this war? is the conversation and the mood at a tipping point in this country, in your opinion?
>> i only can hope so. i can't get into the mind of that gentleman who started pointing his finger at piers morgan and going off on some rant that the government is coming to get us all. government is not coming to get us all. we get to that point, nothing is going to help us if the military turnses against the people. let's get real here. we're talking innocent lives lost. it seems to me we should do three things right now. get the weapons of war off our streets. keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill and children, and also make sure that our schools are safe by allowing the local governments to avail themselves of some grant programs so they can bring secure schools, make them a reality in their neighborhoods.
>> senator boxer, with the assault weapons ban of 1994 , would that pass the senate today?
>> i can't tell you. i haven't taken the pulse of my colleagues. but i can tell you this. i believe we will be able to get some things done. maybe it's going to be the high capacity clips. maybe it's going to be senator feinstein's bill. i certainly hope so. we need to close the gun show loophole. there are certain things the obama administration could do on the mental health front and on enforcing existing laws when it comes to tracking guns through the computer system that was set up. we have to come together. i think it is one of those enough is enough moments. it's one of those pivotal moments. i believe it is happening. but i do want to say to the viewers, it's really up to you, because it's going to take courage for certain colleagues to step up to the plate. and we have to make sure people know that if they do the right thing, it will be noticed, and it will be rewarded by support.
>> senator boxer, thank you for your leadership on this. i appreciate your time.
>> thanks.
>> on "the ed show." thank you so much. share your thoughts with us on twitter and facebook. we always want to know what you think.
>>> coming up, gun clubs claim they're training hundreds of teachers to carry guns in schools. but are they telling the truth? we've got the facts about firearms and safety of

Tagged: earthquake
On 21 April, the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Ya'an, Sichuan has left 186 people dead, 21 missing and 11,393 injured, 968 of them seriously. Oxfam has begun distributing emergency relief supplies.
Three years on, over one million Haitians are still in need of humanitarian aid. Our three year photo gallery offers an insight into how the situation, and our work there, has evolved during this time.
It is now two years since the most powerful earthquake in Haiti in 200 years struck the capital city of Port-au-Prince and the surrounding metropolitan area. We've shifted our focus now to longer-term development.
In 2011, Oxfam continued to deliver emergency water, sanitation, and public health work in Haiti, working with communities and local organizations to find more permanent solutions to meet long-term needs for these services. We also helped small businesses to flourish in the city and the countryside.
In a report released today, Oxfam urged the Haitian Government and countries that have pledged money for rebuilding to accelerate reconstruction of the country.
From East Africa to Japan, from Ivory Coast to Pakistan, the year 2011 has been marked by tragic disasters and crises, which seriously hit the most vulnerable people. Oxfam has responded to these crises, with both emergency and long-term programs, and launched a new global campaign, GROW.
In a rural area in western Haiti, a group of women is expanding their milling business – which they hope will give the local economy a much-needed boost.

Old Friends
maddog says good-bye to some old friends and envisions new relationships.
I said good-bye to several friends over the weekend, some of with whom I had spent a lot of time; oth- ers, I had known only casually. One friend in particular I had spent time with every day, mostly at work, but occasionally watching a movie together. Sometimes when you get new friends, you spend time with them and you forget a bit about the old friends. And sometimes the old friends start to distract you and get in the way.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
We recently bought a new house with a hugs fireplace. The hearth is a brick just like in the picture. We wanted something so that the baby did not bang her head because she is always crawling over to it. This product has been a life saver for her head. They give you more than enough velcro pads to hold it down. As long as your hearth is clean they apply eaily and stay on. The only thing was I wish it came with the option of buying a little extra if needed. Our fire place is massive and longer then the mount of foam that they give you. So we had to come up with something different for the one end.

While sea glass itself isn't too uncommon to find on the beach, it is unusual to find it in the vast quantities you see on Glass Beach. Made from broken bottles and auto glass, the moving ocean has smoothed out the pieces to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

"The latest DLC for Mass Effect 3 will be titled 'The Apology', and will chronicle the events occuring six months after Commander Shepard's campaign to take back the Earth. Fans will enjoy an unprecedented level of choice in their gameplay as they program their own epic sci-fi series. Marketed with the tag-line "So, you think you can do better?" The Apology invites butthurt, self-entitled players to try their damndest to create a more compelling ending to the Mass Effect saga. Project leader Kasey Hudson says "that should please every whiny crybaby troll on the internet who thinks they know how WE should end OUR story. We thought this would be the only fair way to say how sorry we are for the 100+ hours of amazing action, humor, and epic gameplay that we provided prior to the ending of Mass Effect 3. We did not anticipate that this bold and challenging ending would vaporize all the gameplay experiences that players enjoyed up to that point. Scientifically speaking, its unprecedented to see an entire series retconned out of existence by nerd rage."
The Apology is scheduled to release on April 1st, priced at 1600 MSP."
