Firearms are a great equalizer | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
January 23, 2013 · 8:54 AM
To the editor:
For most liberals I know it is a point of pride for them to show how much they desire all people to be treated equally. And yet many of them are against widespread gun ownership. To me this mindset is in opposition to itself, as it is not consistent. Liberals, especially feminists, should be as pro-Second Amendment as conservatives, even if it is for different reasons.
And why should liberals be pro-Second Amendment? Simply put: equality.
Guns are the greatest equalizer that a person can have. Nothing else allows a 110-pound woman to effectively defend herself against a 250-pound would-be rapist. A gun allows those who are weak to defend themselves against those who are strong. It levels the playing field.
Guns do not take physical strength or skill to use, and yet they are the most effective self-defense tool there is for immediately eliminating a threat to yourself or your loved ones. This cannot be said about most self-defense weapons.
Despite the best efforts of law enforcement officers everywhere, they are rarely able to stop a crime before it happens. The best they can do is to try and catch the criminal who committed the crime. As such, it is up to the citizen to be ready and able to protect themselves if needed. Guns allow any citizen, regardless of social, racial, or economic background or gender, to do this.
So, given this powerful ability that firearms provide to law-abiding citizens of all stripes, why do liberally minded people wish to restrict access to them? Gun laws only work if they are followed. Criminals, by nature and definition, are law-breakers. Increasing restrictions of the sale of firearms will only affect normal citizens. It will not affect criminals. By taking away firearms from citizens, they have no way to properly defend themselves from armed criminals.
If a criminal is breaking into your home with the intent to do you harm, what will protect you best? A firearm that you can access immediately, or the police, who are 15 minutes away?
If access to firearms is restricted, citizens are no longer equal; they are placed in a position of submission to those who are willing to harm them.
Firearms allow all people to be on an equal level with one another. Increased firearm restrictions do not.

MARTIN, Tenn. – Freshman Saphyra Coombs-James found the back of the net in the 83rd minute tonight to give The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team a big 2-1 victory over Austin Peay in Ohio Valley Conference play. The Skyhawks improve to 4-4-3 and stretch their unbeaten streak to five matches.
Coombs-James' goal was her fourth of the 2012 campaign and the first game-winner of her young career. Also starring tonight for UT Martin was sophomore Alyssa Curtis, who gave the Skyhawks the lead with a goal in the 56th minute and later assisted on Coombs-James' goal. It was the first match in Curtis' career that she had recorded both a goal and an assist.
A total of 10 Skyhawks attempted at least one shot tonight for UT Martin, who outshot Austin Peay 21-14 this evening, led by five attempts by Curtis.
Sophomore Mariah Klenke made seven stops in all 90 minutes tonight for the Skyhawks. It was the third time this season alone that Klenke notched at least seven saves.
Klenke's first save came at the 22:28 mark and she came back with another crucial save in the 30th minute.
Dominika Conc (27th minute) and Coombs-James (31st minute) were responsible for UT Martin's first two shot on goal attempts but Lady Govs' goalkeeper Haylee Shoaff tallied a pair of saves.
Klenke would rack up two more stops before the half, snaring a save in the 34th and 42nd minutes.
Skyhawk senior Midori Sera lined a hard shot into the arms of Shoaff at the 39:39 mark. Abi Sanvee came very close to giving UT Martin a one-goal advantage with just 1:40 remaining in the half, but her attempt clanked off the left goal post.
Curtis' goal off a corner kick got the Skyhawks on the scoreboard at the 55:16 mark. Hannah McGowen placed a perfect pass to the left edge of the box for Curtis, who rose above the crowd for a header goal – the seventh goal of her career.
Austin Peay responded less than two minutes later with a goal to even the score at 1-1. Klenke deflected a shot at the 57:03 mark and four seconds later, Tatiana Ariza scooped up the loose ball and came up with her fourth goal of the season.
Klenke made sure the match stayed tied 1-1 when she corralled her sixth save of the night at the 68:53 mark. UT Martin quickly moved the ball the other way, resulting in a shot on goal by Sera that Shoaff saved just 17 seconds later.
A little over nine minutes later, both goalkeepers made saves within 34 seconds of each other to keep the tie intact.
UT Martin broke through early in the 83rd minute. Curtis fired a hard shot from the left side that clipped Shoaff's fingertips. Curtis then maintained possession of the loose ball and sent a pass across the box to a wide open Coombs-James, who scooted the ball past the endline.
The Skyhawk defense would only concede one more shot attempt the rest of the way – a blocked shot at the 84:14 mark.
UT Martin will look to sweep its brief two-match homestand on Sunday, Sept. 30 when it takes on OVC foe Murray State at 2 p.m.

Entirely Real Photos: What's It Like At A Rockettes Rehearsal?
By Linda Holmes
I have no particular wisdom about this photo; I just think it's interesting to see that the Rockettes are never not regimented. I thought maybe you'd be allowed to wear your own dance clothes, but it makes sense that they'd want to see the effect of everyone looking the same, even in practice. These women work hard.

Sci-Fi Survivalism Game |

Sci-Fi Survivalism GameI need to do research on propulsion systems, such as VASIMR, and it may well be that any chosen propulsion system will affect issues faced such as potential radiation leaks. On another note, it may well be that a room only remains inaccessible for a period whilst highly dangerous radioisotopes are quarantined and stabilise. After which point, the hallway into that room is kept as an "airlock" and to access the room through the hallway, the player has to find and get into a special hazmat suit to clean up the remaining long lived actinides. They don't have to do this, but they are unable to access the room until they are in the suit as the computer system won't let them through without the right protection. |

The Helios probes, sent in the 70s, maxed a speed of around 250,000km/s, which is not far off 0.1c, so I don't think it's a ridiculous random speed to choose for a not too distance future spacecraft. I've been writing the chapter by chapter progress of the game, to ensure there is always something to do (with a "random accident" function, sometimes a false alarm (malfunctioning onboard computer, sometimes real) and there are about 20 stages in total, if I split it into four stages per chapter, that's five chapters... one could easily set a chapter per month. I think with only five chapters, that'll allow the game to be short and sharp enough to avoid boredom, but pack enough suspense in to make a game worth playing. I'm looking on knocking up some 3D models for the interior parts, such as doorways, rooms, and eventually the whole thing. The layout of the ship will obviously depend on the route of the game (no point having them all muddled up and inaccessible and creating a paradox of "I need to access that room to finish the chapter, but I can't access it until I've done something that is a part of the next chapter" sort of thing. |

By occasion - one more idea. Assuming that conserving fuel is the priority - what about a puzzle - not enough fuel for any path back to Earth... However, its possible to jettison a few modules of the ship to reduce its mass which should do the trick... But the computer forbids to jettison undamaged modules... Unless there is a dangerous fire there... Hmm... Where are the matches? :D It is not obvious idea... and would save precious place in your RAM. |

Just a point...If you are going to spend the money to build an AI, you'll probably spend the comparably tiny amount to upgrade the user interface so the crewmember can also, in addition to (likely) being able to type questions or recieved typed answers, verbally communicate with the AI. If I am working on repairing an intricate circuit board, I don't want to have to take my eyes off the little bits and pieces to read a screen. I'd rather the AI simply say, "...Solder wire RZ-14 to Port 12 on Slot A...", or better yet a combination of the two.
I can't imagine that a real life designer of an AI would not include the option to communicate audiably. (Though, I suppose the AI might itself consider audiable interaction a waste of energy in an emergency situation. However, I can't see that extending your battery life too much, considering the draw of other systems) |
Jan9-13, 10:55 AM | #25 |
I also wanted the player to feel there was some company on the ship, but the only friendly company was not very human. Maybe it is on text mode from the beginning and the player, if they want the spoken version, needs to get it set up and will be able to do so at some point in the game, as if because of an emergency before he arrived, the software had been removed and put away by the previous crew. |
Jan12-13, 03:56 PM | #26 |
(and repair with duct tape? :D ) It would look cool - great mainframe, and actually all crucial functions and calculations can be done by a minor device that is mostly used for fun. It would also explain why the system in late XXI century looks so crude. |

Perhaps the player must go on spacewalks (something happened to the robonauts) to fix something, staying inside the shadow of the radiation shield, watching his/her dosemeter at the same time. The closer he/she got to the shield, the higher the reading would be and the faster he/she would have to end the spacewalk. Not to mention limited reaction mass for the MMU. Use up MMU propellant stores and the player will have to find another way to fix the problem.
If he/she exited the shadow of the shield...well...maybe barf splatters the screen? http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/index.php If you haven't gone to this site before, it'd be a good idea to do so. This guy has tonnes of stuff about rockets. |

Follow these tips to make sure the last of your tags aren't wasted
I have been fortunate to hunt and talk with lots of whitetail enthusiasts over the years. As the end of November approaches, there is a universal sense of urgency that hits almost everyone. The thought that the season is plowing into its last weeks is on the minds of many, especially if you have not filled your tags.
To be successful in the latter part of the season means that there is a good chance that you will have to change your tactics and approach. We, as humans, act differently throughout the different parts of the year. Deer are no different. They have predictable cycles that they move through and the better we know their habits, the more likely we are to put ourselves in a position to be successful.
We are taught by others as we learn. I know when I was learning how to pursue whitetails I heard time-and-time-again not to set up too close to a known bedding or loafing area. The idea is to ambush and setup on a deer's travel routes. Magazines, television shows and numerous other authorities on deer hunting will tell you the same thing: find where they are sleeping, find where they are eating and setup somewhere in between.

It's teaming up with the Tyler Putnam Foundation. Putnam, 16, was a hockey player from Irondequoit who died in 2011 from a deadly form of bacterial meningitis-B.
Current vaccines do protect against meningitis-C and meningitis-Y and other infections, but do not offer protection against the potentially-deadly strain of meningitis-B.
"The hope is that if this vaccine is successful, which it's looking like it will be, is then to be able to meld that into the current existing vaccine, so that you can get one shot to cover for all the strains of meningococcus," said Michael Brennan, Rochester Clinical Research.
Meningitis is an infection that causes sometimes fatal swelling of the brain and spine, that is caused by bacteria or a virus.

Application Modernization
Adaptability for an ever-changing world.
What is unique about Software AG's modernization approach?
Software AG takes a holistic approach to modernization that looks at your people, IT assets and business resources in terms of your processes. This helps you make the most informed decisions about how to take your IT investments forward to meet current and future business demands. Watch the demo.
Tell me about the assessment and modernization methodology components.
We're about modernizing your whole IT environment—not just a piece of your business—based on a proven modernization methodology. The assessment serves as a blueprint procedure to assess your as-is landscape, the value of the applications and your skills set to set the priorities for your IT modernization. Our modernization methodology provides a rich set of best practices and templates to help to transform your current IT landscape into what's needed for the future.
How does this modernization approach impact my long-time Adabas and Natural environment?
Our approach allows you to leverage and extend the value of your existing Software AG assets. Our solution gives you the ability to see your entire IT environment and resources in terms of business processes and then develop and optimize those processes to grow your business.
Why not replace my core systems?
Replacing core systems can result in unexpected and excessive costs and delays. Probably the most painful example is one of a leading car manufacturer. After spending $400 million to rip and replace a custom-built mainframe procurement system, the company abandoned the project and went back to its original system.
Ripping-and-replacing is often a poor choice due to the complexity, customization and functional coverage of legacy apps. Plus, achieving the same quality of service on another platform can require a lot of work, time and resources. It's more than technical issue. It spans people, operations and processes—which is why Software AG takes a holistic approach to IT modernization.
Why modernize with Software AG?
We bring you 40+ years of expertise in mainframes and have helped many leading enterprises modernize their IT environments to achieve measurable benefits.
Depending on your modernization focus, our Global Consulting Services team can help you apply ready-to-use frameworks, best practice guides and industry-specific templates along with best-in-class products, such as:
- Process Intelligence for Natural Applications
- webMethods ApplinX
- webMethods EntireX
- NaturalONE
- Natural Engineer
- Event Replicator for Adabas
- CentraSite

Landmarks of standup for decades, Connxtions Comedy Clubs remain mainstays for up-and-coming comics and national stars, with a roster of past performers that includes Sinbad, Drew Carey, Tim Allen, D. L. Hughley, and Rob Schneider. Headlining comedians, many seen on national television, keep the venues teetering Thursday–Saturday nights, whereas Wednesday nights host improv spectacles and open mics where rookies can begin their ascent into stardom or descent into miming. While refueling chuckle tanks, duos and groups can split a savory appetizer, such as cheese bread or chicken wings, or enjoy a potent cocktail at the bar.
Uncork The Artist puts its mission right in its name, scheduling classes that help coax the creative energies out of every person who walks through the door. Provided snacks and sips of BYOB wine stimulate inner inspiration as patrons reproduce masterpieces with the studio's paints and brushes and guidance from local artists. Studio sessions can be modified to suit bachelorette parties, sorority functions, and date nights, or rendered alcohol-free to teach kids the joys of painting with something other than food.
In 1906, Joseph Fleitz purchased a tract of land along Seaman Road. Though he immediately started to farm, it would be another 85 years before his great-grandson, Paul, planted the first pumpkin patch, officially christening Fleitz Pumpkin Farm. Since then, the family has built other attractions, and the wind raises a thrumming whisper from the stalks of a 5-acre corn maze capable of stumping even Ivy League–educated scarecrows. Tractors pull hay carts full of chattering riders, and other amenities include a free tricycle zone and an area to feed goats and chickens. During the fall, when the air grows crisp and cornucopias hang heavy on the trees, row upon row of sunset-hued pumpkins line the periphery of the farm. The scents of cinnamon drifts from a snack shack serving freshly made doughnuts and hot cider.
A skydiver descends toward the earth, his red-and-white parachute contrasting against a picturesque scene of azure sky and the springtime grass. It's just another day at Skydive Tecumseh, where instructors have been taking first-time jumpers and experienced skydivers on exhilarating freefalls for nearly 50 years. Manning aircrafts such as a Quest Kodiak and a Cessna 182, Skydive Tecumseh's flight team ushers parties 7,500 feet into the clouds for tandem and solo jumps that reach speeds of up to 120 miles per hour, much like a cheetah on roller skates. A drop zone with three separate landing areas awaits skydivers on the ground, and a picnic area allows visitors to watch their friends glide safely back to earth. In addition to organizing jumps, the instructors—all certified through the United States Parachuting Association—operate a ground school, where they help clients earn skydiving licenses.

Reseting my keeper league... now what?
Hi... I'm in a 10 team keeper league between friends, and we've done it 5 seasons now. It has been standard scoring, total points... but it seems like the same 3-4 teams dominate the standings year in and year out. Time for a change!
We'll probably conduct our new draft via facebook over the next two weeks. Hopefully the lockout is over soon. We'd like our new keeper league format to be H2H, counting weekly wins (like in fantasy football or so I'm told). This way, things stay competitive longer into the season and the bottom feeders can still play to challenge the top teams later on. 1. What is the standard point scoring system in H2H? 2. Is a weekly win total the best way to determine standings? 3. And what website would your recommend for this format? Thanks for your help!
10 Team, (G, A, GWG, W, SO) Keeper: 10-11, 11-12 Champ F: Stamkos, Kopitar, Getzlaf, Seguin, Duchene, Eriksson, Gaborik, Krejci, O'Reilly. D: OEL, D.Keith, Vishnovsky, Fowler G: Price, Lundqvist Bench: Tanguay, M.Richards, Lucic, Callahan, Conacher, Kreider, D.Hamilton, Pavelec. |
As far as website, I suggest CBS. You have to pay for it, but if you divide it amongst all GM's it's only an extra $15. The customization is top notch and it makes the keeper process so easy. I run 3 leagues (football, baseball, & hockey) through CBS and have no complaints.
NEW 10 Team H2H Multi Cat - 7 Keepers (3 Yr Contracts) - Daily Lineup G/A/+-/SOG/PIM/FOW/PPP/HITS/BS/W/GAA/SV% 4-C: Elias, Grabovski, Plekanec, Shaw 4-LW: Clowe, Landeskog, Ott, Neal 4-RW: Callahan, Malkin, St.Louis, Wheeler 6-D: Streit, Bogosian, Chara, Franson, Johnson, Petry 3-G: Hiller, Price, Nabokov 7-Bn: Bieksa, Berglund, Setoguchi, Huberdeau, Tanguay, Cole, & Anderson 2-IR:Kulikov & Enstrom |
I'm a yahoo guy (i like the system and it's free) and for H2H I'd recommend:
Skaters: Goals, Assists, Points, +/-, Pims, Shots on goal, Hits, Power play points (adding points keeps up the value of top scorers) Goalies: Wins, Save%, GAA, Saves I like a 2:1 ratio of player cats: goalie cats hope this helps
2nd Year 12 Team Dynasty H2H, Daily Starts G, A, +/-, PIM, SOG, Hits, PPP, SHP W, GAA, Sv%, Svs, SO C: B.Richards, J.Pavelski, D.Roy, A.Killorn LW: I.Kovalchuk, D.Heatley, R.Clowe, B.Dubinsky RW: C.Perry, M.Gaborik, B.Wheeler, B.Boyes D: A.Pietrangelo, P.K Subban, N.Kronwall, C.Franson G: R.Miller, S.Varlamov, A.Khudobin, B.Elliott IR: J.Spezza, E.Karlsson Prospects: Galchenyuk, Johansen, Kuznetsov, Teravainen, Dumba, M.Foligno, Orlov, Pickard, Ramo |
Thanks for your help guys! I Appreciate it. Hopefully the NHL returns soon...
10 Team, (G, A, GWG, W, SO) Keeper: 10-11, 11-12 Champ F: Stamkos, Kopitar, Getzlaf, Seguin, Duchene, Eriksson, Gaborik, Krejci, O'Reilly. D: OEL, D.Keith, Vishnovsky, Fowler G: Price, Lundqvist Bench: Tanguay, M.Richards, Lucic, Callahan, Conacher, Kreider, D.Hamilton, Pavelec. |
I used to be on CBS but I switched to Fantrax for my new league and I must I like Fantrax a lot more than CBS.
Scoring cats that I like are: G, A, PTS, GWG, Special Team Points, PIM, Hits, SOG, Blocks, +/- W, GAA, Saves, SO
Derek Reese - Future Hall of Famer Studs N Duds - Sunday's 12 Team NHL Salary Cap Dynasty H2H, Salary Cap 82mil, Player actual salaries G,A,PTS,GWG,PIM,SOG,STP,HT,BL,+/-,W,GAA,SV,SO Starters: 12 Forwards, 6 Defense, 2 Goalies F - Stamkos, Perry, E.Staal, Voracek, J.Staal, Simmonds, Ott, Downie, J.Jokinen, Eller, Nielson, Prust D - Martin, Faulk, Brodie, Ellerby, M.Weber, Stone G - Bobrovsky, Halak Bench - Brunner, Brodie, Strachan, Khudobin, Lindback, Neuvirth, Ramo Prospects - Calvert, Forsberg, Etem, Namestinikov, Kreider, Cundari |
I would recommend Yahoo!
The Yahoo! default H2H settings are 6 categories for skaters & 4 categories for goalies. The skater categories are: G, A, +/-, PIM, SOG, PPP The goalie categories are: W, GAA, SV%, SO I highly suggest you start your league off in Yahoo! for several reasons: 1. It's free. 2. The interface is very easy to use. 3. Yahoo!s pre-player RANKS are based on the default settings. It takes a while to understand how introducing different categories changes player value. Since the Yahoo! RANK is based on their default categories, it means that everybody in your league should draft a competitive team just by following the Yahoo! RANK order. (IF you add in a category like "Hits" though... the Yahoo Rank will NOT reflect this... and there is advantage to anybody in the pool now that recognizes this... because given the pick between player #58 & player #59, they should simply take the player with the most HITS. So, don't include any extra categories for the first year of the pool, just go with the base 6/4) For example, the Yahoo O-Rank is based on actual statistics for 2011-2012 and you can tell your leaguemates to practice sorting that way. A guy like Rick Nash, who has gone from CBJ to NYR, should have a higher RANK than his stat-based O-RANK because Nash should have better stats & better +/- with New York. Other servers (ESPN, CBS, Fantrax) are better for the experienced group of poolies... but for NOOBs just starting out in H2H, go Yahoo! Also, you want the WIN-per-CATEGORY function. It's more fun. If you go WEEKLY WIN, then you can have a team that could technically draft all skaters and punt goalies. If he wins all 6 skater categories, then he'd win the match 6-4 using CATEGORY-WIN... but he'd win the match 1-0 using WEEKLY-WIN. You don't want a guy like this going 13-0 even though he only wins 6 of 10 categories weekly. Also - your team may be getting dominated during the week, but there is still fun in chasing that one category that you might be able to win. I've done both and the CATEGORY-WIN is much more fun then just a WIN for the overall weekly match-up. Last edited by Pengwin7; 10-26-2012 at 01:37 PM. |

Description: Civilian America is out for his first time in San Diego, enjoying and experimenting with his new sexual freedom. America has an amazing personality, great muscular body, and a massive uncut cock. He says that his girlfriend isnt the best at giving blow jobs and thinks that guys are probably better at sucking dick. Well, Petty Officer Tanner is here and ready to show America how professional cocksucking is truly done!
They start playing with themselves and America asks Tanner, Do you want to see it, referring to his thick, huge shaft. Of course, Tanner is eagerly waiting to suck on his beautiful, 8 inch uncut dick and says YES. The Petty Officer slowly begins slurping down Americas great man rod, making him softly moan at the new experience. He starts sucking harder and harder, getting the Civilian aroused even more.
America tells Tanner to get on all fours and suck his dick, while he is standing up beside the bed. He ravenously chokes down the throbbing penis into his throat, face fucking the hell out of America. Pushing America to the brink of exploding spunk all over his face, Tanner lays down, ready for his facial. America blows multiple streams of hot spunk all over the awaiting Tanner. He definitely showed America how to really SUCK a dick, maybe now he can give his girlfriend some tips on how to give a blowjob.

Transurethral Microwave Therapy (TUMT) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Surgery Overview
In transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT), an instrument (called an antenna) that sends out microwave energy is inserted through the Reference urethra Opens New Window to a location inside the prostate. Microwave energy is then used to heat the inside of the prostate. Cooling fluid is circulated around the microwave antenna to prevent heat from damaging the wall of the urethra. To prevent the temperature from getting too high outside the prostate, a temperature sensor is inserted into the man's rectum during the procedure. If the temperature in the rectum increases too much, the treatment is turned off automatically until the temperature goes back down.
The temperature becomes high enough inside the prostate to kill some of the tissue. As this part of the prostate heals, it shrinks, reducing the blockage of urine flow.
This treatment is done in a single session. It usually does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. A Reference general Opens New Window or Reference spinal anesthetic Opens New Window is needed during the procedure.
Microwave therapy is also known as cooled thermal therapy or by the name of the equipment used.

I was hoping to find some type of relay that would close but wait a few seconds before opening back up. Not sure if anything like this exists. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Brian

I have a little battery operated led light that hangs right on the wire it doesn't go to ground at all. When there is no power on the fence theLed flashes to warn you the fence isnot on. I wonder if somehow I could rig that to work.Thanks for the input guysBrian

On Feb. 14, President Barack Obama visited Atlanta to praise Georgia's pre-kindergarten program and promote further investment in early education opportunities across the nation. Also last week, the Georgia Early Education Alliance for Ready Students released data on early education to help shape policies made during the current session of the Georgia General Assembly.
In our House District 132, the Alliance found that there are 4,487 children under the age of 5. Greater early education opportunities will help ensure these children graduate from high school instead of becoming one of the 26.2 percent in our district who do not earn a diploma or GED. High-quality early education is proven to reduce costs to society, decrease teen pregnancy rates and increase future earning potential, thus ensuring these children do not join the 24.7 percent in our district who are living below poverty level.
For more information, you can visit the Alliance's website at www.geears.org.
Today is the 19th legislative day of the 2013 session of the General Assembly, meaning we are near the halfway point of the session. Last week, the House of Representatives approved and send to the Senate several proposals of interest:
House Resolution 4 urges the state of Tennessee to accept a settlement of its boundary dispute with Georgia that has been ongoing for nearly 200 years. The settlement would reflect the current boundary line established by the flawed 1818 survey, except with a one-and-a-half mile "inlet" that would allow Georgia access to the Tennessee River at Nickajack in the northwest corner of our state, which would provide Georgia with an abundant amount of water. The compromise would not affect citizens residing in Tennessee, but would allow Georgia its rightful access to the Tennessee River. HR 4 also authorizes the Governor to enter into any necessary negotiations with the state of Tennessee to resolve this longstanding border dispute.
House Bill 59 would benefit public safety by reducing the number of false alarms reported to law enforcement, thus allowing our first responders to focus their resources on those truly in need. This legislation requires an alarm monitoring company to use a second contact for alarm verification if its first attempt is unsuccessful. If the second contact is reached and the alarm went off in error, then any dispatched law enforcement can disregard the report and continue with their regular duty. No second verification call would be required, however, if the alarm monitoring company has video or audio verification of a fire alarm, panic, robbery-in-progress, or crime-in-progress. It is important that we utilize law enforcement wisely. Reducing the number of responses to false alarms will help communities throughout the state do just that.
House Bill 198 would help ensure that Georgians receive accurate information about their health insurance options. Under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as "Obamacare," health insurance exchanges will be required to award grants to "navigators." These navigators will then help people enroll in qualified health plans – a service currently provided by insurance brokers. Despite the fact that navigators will perform services similar to those provided by insurance brokers, the ACA explicitly prevents states from requiring navigators to hold an insurance producers license. This in effect would allow people who have not undergone the same level of training as an insurance broker to essentially carry out a similar role. This could cause consumers to receive inconsistent or inaccurate advice about their health care coverage options. Therefore, HB 198 would allow the state Insurance Commissioner to license navigators and ensure that they have the necessary qualifications to provide proper health insurance guidance.
House Bill 101 would make it easier for our state's non-profit organizations to raise money by selling food at local events. Georgia law requires food service establishments to obtain a food service permit from the state before selling food to the public. While Georgia already exempts food sold at a fairs or festivals from this permit requirement, it does not exempt food sold by nonprofit organizations at other short-term events. HB 101 would change this so that nonprofit organizations could sell food at events lasting five days or less, like a weekend bake sale or Relay for Life event, without having to get a food service permit from the state. Nonprofit organizations would, however, still have to comply with all local government permitting requirements.
Also, I would like to acknowledge the many messages I have received from constituents regarding proposed state laws on gun ownership. I want you to know that I, too, support the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, as well as strengthening mental health care and improving background checks to ensure that fewer guns fall into the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable.
Last week, the House approved HB 60, which would expand the exemption for active and retired state and federal judges from state restrictions on the possession and carrying of firearms to include retired judges from local jurisdictions as well. In addition, the House Public Safety & Homeland Security Committee favorably reported HB 35, which would allow local school boards to authorize administrators and staff to carry weapons on campus.
Please continue to contact me if you have any questions or comments about legislation being considered in the General Assembly.

How to Assess CRM Vendors' Viability
Customer relationship management (CRM) is the process of managing an organization's interactions throughout the entire customer lifecycle. CRM software applications support the automation of these processes and best practices.
CRM systems vary widely in capabilities, pricing and underlying technology, from basic contact management to sophisticated enterprise suites for sales, service and marketing. Moreover, the market includes industry-specific CRM solutions (e.g., real estate or pharmaceutical sales) and best-of-breed solutions for specific CRM functions (e.g., field service or help desk).
We developed this guide to complement our CRM reviews. The following sections will help potential purchasers find the best customer relationship management software package for their business:
Here's what we'll cover:

Pricing: Web-based vs. On-Premise
Recent Events in the Industry
What is CRM Software?
The primary purpose of CRM software is to consolidate customer information into one repository, so users can better organize and manage relationships. Additionally, these applications automate common processes and provide tools for monitoring performance and productivity. Systems vary, but the best CRM software will include at least the following four core functions:
- Customer Data Management: Most products provide a searchable database to store customer information (such as contact information) and relevant documents (such as sales proposals and contracts).
- Interaction Tracking: These systems document conversations held by phone, in person, through email or other channels. These interactions can be logged manually, or automated with phone and email system integrations. Depending on the product, some systems can also track interactions on Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms.
- Workflow Automation: This standardizes business processes, usually through a combination of task lists, calendars, alerts and templates. Once a task is checked off as complete, for example, the system might automatically set a task for the next step in the process.
- Reporting: Management can use these CRM tools to track performance and productivity based on activities logged in the CRM system--for instance, how many new contacts were added to the database that day, or how much revenue was generated. These tools can also be used for forecasting, such as for the next-quarter sales pipeline.
CRM in Action: A Use Case
Let's say you currently store customer contact information in Excel spreadsheets, appointments in a calendar, and files in Dropbox, Google Drive or another document management tool. When someone calls, you have to toggle between each of these tools to figure out whether they're a prospect or existing customer. Worse, you don't immediately know if they've spoken to anyone else in your company. Past interactions might be trapped in someone's inbox, paper notes, or only in employees' memories.
Depending on where this caller is in the customer lifecycle, not having this information in one place can lengthen their time to conversion, limit return sale possibilities, or slow issue resolution.
If you had automation software in this scenario, you could simply pull up that account and see every meeting, phone or email conversation you or your team has ever had with that person, as well as past agreements and marketing materials sent. You might also see, for example, a contract attached to that opportunity that's awaiting signature and a task for one of your sales reps to follow up. So you transfer the call.
A contact profile in Sage ACT!.
After the sales rep hangs up with the contact, he might close the task to follow up, then pick the next step in the process from a dropdown menu: "Did they return the contract?" The due date for this task is set for the next day, when the rep will receive an alert to follow up if the agreement isn't returned.
You can see how this alternative scenario increases efficiency and productivity. And it prevents important activities from falling through the cracks. Managers benefit, too, by having ready access to reports that show key performance metrics and progress toward goals.

This scenario described core functionality, but these technologies are also widely used in a broad range of CRM applications. Below is a brief explanation of each of these application types.
Application Categories

Market Trends
As you compare CRM software, it's important you keep the following industry trends in mind.
Social CRM. The biggest trend is the convergence of customer relationship management and social networking technologies, loosely referred to as "Social CRM." In fact, five top industry analysts recently predicted this trend as having the biggest impact on how customer tracking software programs evolves.
Today, this intersection of social and client management software can be as simple as adding Facebook data to customer profiles. Or, it can be as complex as niche products that tap into social APIs and generate leads, mine for customer sentiment, or traffic and prioritize social customer service requests.
An example of a social media stream with contact details from Radian6.
Mobile CRM. Mobile applications for customer relationship management are becoming increasingly sophisticated and popular. These tools don't just port functions to a mobile interface--top CRM software vendors will offer apps that leverage the unique capabilities of mobile devices, such as GPS and voice.
An outside sales rep could, for example, pull up a map of their current location and see pinpoints for accounts in that area. Or, a customer service rep might have the ability to speak a query into their mobile app, rather than try and type everything out on a tiny smartphone keyboard.
Pricing: Web-based vs. On-Premise
In 1999, Salesforce.com entered the market as the first major player in the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) CRM space. Today, a majority of CRM products are now SaaS solutions, though on-premise options still exist. The deployment method you choose should be a key consideration when conducting your CRM software comparison. Pricing between these two models usually (but not always) differs in the following ways:
- Cloud-based software, also called Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), is typically priced on a subscription basis determined by the number of "seats" (sales reps, support agents, field technicians etc. who need to access the software). This type of software is housed off-site on servers managed by the software company.
- On-premise customer management systems usually require purchasing a perpetual license upfront, with no recurring subscription cost. But users might also pay additionally for upgrades, customizations or maintenance. This software is housed on the buyers' servers.
Recent Events in the Industry
Customer relationship management systems have come a long way since the '90s. This timeline shows the diverse range of organizations, events, people and milestones involved in the evolution of this industry. Here are several more recent events in CRM history:
- Salesforce.com raising $1 billion with offering. Salesforce.com announced plans to offer $1 billion in long-term convertible debt, with the option to raise another $150 million. The sum is likely to pay for another round of acquisitions. In recent years, Salesforce.com snapped up two companies for its "Marketing cloud:" social listening software Radian6, and social campaign firm Buddy Media. The move closely follows Oracle's acquisition of marketing automation vendor Eloqua.
- Sage sells CRM product lines. Accounting software veteran Sage announced plans to move closer to its core business by selling Sage ACT! and SalesLogix. Email marketing firm Swiftpage purchased the lines for a reported $101.2 million. Sage acquired the companies in 2001 when it purchased Interact Commerce for $260 million.

Browns' Joe Haden contributes to turnover-filled day
Not to jump to conclusions about what might have been, but after beating the Steelers on Sunday, the Browns are 3-3 with Joe Haden and 0-5 without him.
Haden forced a fumble and broke up two passes Sunday and had one of four takeaways in the fourth quarter of the 20-14 victory over the Steelers at Cleveland Browns Stadium. His pick at the Browns' 19 with three minutes left helped preserve the six-point lead.
The Browns took the ball away eight times, tying a team record set in the 1989 opener, when they beat the Steelers, 51-0, in Bud Carson's coaching debut.
The eight steals belonged to eight players; Haden, Billy Winn and Sheldon Brown each intercepted a pass.
Usama Young, Buster Skrine, D'Qwell Jackson, Phil Taylor and Craig Robertson each recovered a fumble. Taylor and Robertson plus Haden and Winn each had their takeaways in the final period.
"It was something we emphasized in practice all week about interceptions and getting the ball back for the offense," Haden said. "We know they have a great defense, so the more chances we give our offense, the more chance we have to win."
Haden missed Games 2 through 5 while suspended for using Adderall, and he missed the game in Dallas last week with an oblique injury. He has three interceptions.
The Browns had 18 takeaways all last season and already have 25 with five games left.
Seventeen of the Browns' 20 points were scored off turnovers. Skrine's fumble recovery at the Pittsburgh 10 set up a 5-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Weeden to Jordan Cameron, and Brown's interception and 1-yard return to the Steelers' 31 set the table for Trent Richardson's 15-yard run to put the Browns ahead, 20-14, in the third quarter.
Brown made no apologies for getting his interception off third-string quarterback Charlie Batch. Starter Ben Roethlisberger (ribs/shoulder) and backup Byron Leftwich (ribs) were inactive Sunday. Continued...
"Everyone has to be held accountable," Brown said. "We've been in that situation. I don't think we've played with the same four guys in the secondary all year that we thought we would.
"Guys are called up for a reason — to play. I have a lot of respect for Charlie. He has been in this league a while, and he's seen everything we've done. I just think we were the better team today."
Phil Dawson's first field goal, from 28 yards, was set up by Young's fumble recovery at the Steelers' 44.

Bastis Krona Hack - it's an ottoman!
Materials: Bastis Krona Pet Bed, 1 yd of material, heavy duty stapler, and that's it!
Description: I found BK pet bed in the As Is section at Ikea for $5.00. I've wanted an ottoman for the longest time and thought the dimensions looked good. There is a piece that comes with the Bastis Krona which you won't use so just put it aside. It's the railing which would ordinarily be inserted on the top of the bed.
This hack is super simple:
1. Lay your material on a flat surface and place the bed upside down on it.
2. Starting on one long side staple the material to the wood on the bottom of the bed. First one side and then the opposite. Pull the material tight! Do the same thing with the ends (short sides) of the bed.
3. You may have to trim away excess material so that you can screw the legs into the bottom.
4. Ta da! You have your ottoman! This is my first hack and I think I'm addicted!
Total cost:
Bastis Krona $5
material 6.25
staples on hand
Bringing the cost of this hack to $11.25

The spelling is correct. I remember it came out a few years ago but Ikea no longer carries it. Keep checking the As Is section in the store.

Charming, engaging, and surprisingly forthright, Michael Caine gives us his insider's view of Hollywood and the story of his brilliant second act.
When he was in his late 50s, Michael Caine believed his glamorous, rags-to-riches Hollywood career had come to an end. The scripts being sent his way were worse and worse. When one script really disappointed, he called the producer to complain about the part. The producer said, "No, no, we don't want you for the lover, we want you for the father."
Salvation came in the unlikely form of his old friend Jack Nicholson, who convinced him to give acting one more shot. What followed was not only an incredible personal transformation but also one of the most radical comebacks in film history. Learning to accept his new role both on camera and in his own life, Caine went on to win his second Oscar, be knighted by the queen, and deliver some of his best performances to date.
Now he shares the spectacular story of his life, from his humble upbringing in London's poverty-stricken Elephant and Castle, his military service, touching marriage and family life, and lively adventures with friends, to legendary meetings with fellow stars, forays as a restaurateur, and hilarious off-screen encounters from his glittering five-decade career. Caine brings his gift for storytelling and his insider's view to a tale that is funny, warm, and deeply honest.

"It's all about Alfie (and so much more)!!"
What's it all about, you ask? It's all about Alfie and so much more. First of all, let's talk about the narration. If you listen to books, you already know that the narrator makes or breaks the book. Michael Caine is a great narrator. His cockney accent is unique among book narrators that I have heard and I hope he will consider narrating more books. He is so relaxed in the narration and his reading is a warm and genuine voice to his own story. Now let's talk about the book. I think what I liked best about the book is that you get so many amazing stories of old and new Hollywood. I have to admit that celebrity anecdotes, like the ones Michael Caine wrote, are a guilty pleasure of mine. In a nutshell, this book is entertaining. Buy it, listen to it, and prepare to be transported from the elephant to Hollywood. Michael Caine is the man who should be king (of Hollywood).
"A pleasure!"
It was a great pleasure having Michael Caine in the car with me, telling me the fascinating story of his life and cracking jokes. What a great giggle he has!
I'm an avid audio book "reader," especially while walking my dog. As a result, he is the best informed Standard Poodle in West Seattle.
"Thanks again, Sir Michael!"
Not everybody deserves a second shot at memoir-writing--but Michael Caine does. He's a terrific storyteller, and this book offers vast amounts of new material compiled and lived since memoir #1 (
"Never Make Friends With An Elephant Keeper..."
Unless you have room for an Elephant. And this book was a delight, despite the fact that with his trademark voice, the elephant was always in the room. Michael Caine, has written and reads a delightful low key second autobiography. A totally unexpected treat. It has made me even rent some of the movies he talks about making, on Netflix. A boy from the Elephant who did well....and the sufi saying aside about caution entertaining elephant keepers, this one is a keeper. No mean spirited, revenge tell tales here, just a lot of really wonderful stories (Many of them Hollywood) about a really interesting guy who was able to tell the Queen a joke (she asked and you feel you are with him at the table as he also shares the joke! ) charming and entertaining, and often bittersweet. I couldn't wait to walk the dog in the park even in the dead of Chicago winter listening! His love story with his second wife out of a movie. His second career...and third...
Thank God for a mother that read to all the time. Now I can not go anywhere without iPod and headphones. Books allow me to be an armchair traveler, student and audience.
"Michael Caine. Eleoquent"
I enjoyed the book The Hollywood. There are a lot of great stories mentioning familiar and famous movie stars, Cary Grant among them. Michael Caine is as entertaining in the audio book as he is on film. I listened to this book during a run of insomnia and I could not only hear him smiling but visualize him there talking to me. You will not learn anything new or scandalous here. You will be entertained by a great actor telling great stories.
Carlsbad Rob
"Sir Michael is awesome"
His story more or less from the beginning told by the man himself. It feels like he's chatting to you over tea or a drink. The story is mostly linear but jumps about here and there to address the topic at hand and wrap up a character while they are fresh in mind. Feels very conversational that way. The man lived a charmed life (after a very rough 30 year start) and seems to have a really nice outlook on the world.
He really never has a bad word to say about anyone. I'm sure in private he might, but he has the class to avoid that sort of thing so if you are looking for dirty laundry you won't find it here.
The Elephant of the title is the part of East London he came from. Didn't know it was called the Elephant and he never explains why.
"Great listen and I loved that the author read it"
A great peek inside his life -not just breaking into Hollywood but relationships, growing up, etc.. And I love when he would make himself laugh throughout.
Rob Lowe's autobiography - both were intriguing and entertaining and it makes it better when the author reads their own work.
Hearing him share his story is so much better than reading it.
Highly recommend this!
"Like Having Tea with Michael Caine"
So, I really stepped out of my usual reading with this audiobook but I heard an interview with Michael Caine talking about this memoir and he's just such a joy to listen to that I thought I'd give it a shot. It was definitely worth the credit. Caine is such an engaging person. He doesn't get mean or ugly with any person and I'm sure with as long as he's been in Hollywood, he could tell some stories that would make people look bad. He's a class act and exactly how I imagine a real knight would be in his elder years. On top of that, Caine does a wonderful job narrating the story. It's like you're sitting in his living room, drinking tea and eating scones and he's telling you stories. I loved it.
"Michael Caine fans will love this book."
It is great to hear Michael Caine telling his own story. He shares many stories about his now famous friends and talks about all my favorite Caine movies (The Man Who Would Be King, Death Trap, etc...). I love the story of how he met his wife and their ongoing love story. The anecdotes about being on location and the various parts he has played make me want to revisit each movie. And it doesn't hurt that Michael still has that sexy voice!
"Interesting life, wonderful narrator!"
This is a book I highly recommend. The fact that Mr. Caine narrates is definitely a bonus-it is like you are sitting across the dinner table from him. He chuckles & you can hear him smiling at some of his stories. He is a man who never lost contact with his 'working class' roots in the UK & I enjoyed every word. It is touching as he tells how he fell in love with his wife Shakira after seeing her on TV selling coffee. I like to choose books that I'll like to listen to again & there is so much detail in this book, I'm sure I will revisit this book again, like an old friend. Btw, the title refers to the place he was born/grew up-Elephant & Castle, a section of London. I laughed out loud several times in the first 20 minutes of the book, but there are many serious parts as well. A real keeper.
