Ian Mahinmi (sore piriformis) will start on Friday against the Kings.
Mahinmi hasn't done much to separate himself as the Wizards wait for Dwight Howard's return. His return pushes Jason Smith back to the bench. Markieff Morris is still the big man to own in Washington.

On Sunday, President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Mitch Kupchak announced Kobi Simmons' contract had been converted to a two-way deal.
Simmons did enough during the preseason to secure a spot on the Hornets' roster. In four preseason games Simmons averaged 4.3 points, 2.0 assists and 1.5 rebounds, over an average of 12 minutes per game. Simmons is highly unlikely to have an active role in fantasy this season.

October 20, 2019, 7:57 pmKelly OlynykC, Miami Heat
Regarding Kelly Olynyk's (right knee bone bruise) role for the start of the season, head coach Erik Spoelstra stressed keeping him active but not forcing Olynyk into more minutes than he can handle.
The Heat are going to take things slow with Olynyk and make sure the injury does not become a persistent issue. It is a pain for his owners to wait through, but Olynyk looked good in his limited preseason performances. He may not get his full compliment of minutes after being a full participant in practice for only the past five days. However, it should only be a matter of weeks until Olynyk is back to his normal workload.

The Kings have waived Tyler Ulis and Hollis Thompson.
Ulis has been injured during training camp, but had little chance of making the roster with Cory Jospeh and Yogi Ferrell in front of him. Other teams may want to see him healthy before taking a shot on him. Thompson should garner some interest around the league fairly quickly.

Rodney McGruder (high ankle sprain) is questionable to play in Tuesday's opening game versus the Lakers.
McGruder is noted to be progressing well, but high ankle sprains tend to be tricky and if re-injured could shelve a player for several weeks. If McGruder is healthy enough to suit up, he figures absorb some of Paul George's allotted minutes.

Alen Smailagic (right ankle sprain) has a chance to play in Thursday's season opener.
Smailagic was expected to miss a decent amount of time, so him not being ruled out is somewhat shocking. There is no reason to look at Smailagic in any drafts, but him missing time could funnel more minutes to Jordan Poole.

Class Action Lawsuits & Lawyers in California
This page contains all the information you need to know about class action lawsuits in California. Class action lawsuits are important for our society because they are a vehicle for employees to come together and assert their rights under California Labor Laws and federal employment laws, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act. Class actions are also important because they make it economically viable for lawyers to work on a contingency basis. When a company in California violates certain laws — such as overtime pay laws - it may be difficult for the employee to find a good lawyer to take the case because the damages may be too small. However, if other employees have faced similar violations, class action lawyers with the resources and experience needed to sue big companies may be willing to take the case and put a stop to the company's illegal conduct.
Class Action Requirements
In order for a lawsuit to become a class action, the following requirements must be met:
- Impracticability - It must not be realistic for all of the employees and class members to bring their own individual claims against the company because there are too many people potentially affected.
- Commonality - There must be factual questions or legal questions that are common to all the class members and these common questions must dominate the focus of the litigation so the court does not have to spend time and resources on individualized issues, which would make the case drag on and potentially prejudice the other class members from seeking a speedy recovery. This requirement, known as "commonality" does not mean merely that all the employees have suffered from the same violations.
- Typicality - There must be a class representative who has been damaged by the employer in the same way that the members of the class have been damaged. For example This requirement is often referred to as "the class reps claims are typical of the claims of the class members."
- Beneficial for Parties - There must be substantial benefit to all the parties involved, including the employees, the employer and the court. In other words, the class action lawsuit
Benefits of a Class Action Lawsuit
There are several benefits of pursuing a class action lawsuit as opposed to an individual action:
- Contingency Fee Representation — Employees can find contingency fee class action lawyers that have the resources and experience necessary to go up against a big company more easily than if it were an individual lawsuit because it is more economically viable for the law firm.
- Lower Retaliation Problems — Employees don't have to fear retaliation for being a part of a class action suit because the only name on the lawsuit is that of the class representative and employees are presumed to be part of the class action unless they affirmatively choose to not participate in the class action in which case the employee "opts out" of the case.
- Preserve Court Resources — Class actions preserve the resources of the courts. Instead of hundreds of individual cases being filed and flooding the courts, a class action suit allows the court to solve the problem one time. This also promotes consistency because if hundreds of individual lawsuits were filed some employees would lose and some would win on the same legal issue.
- Incentive & Service Awards — In a class action settlement, the class representative (the person who starts the class action lawsuit) may be eligible for a service award in addition to the damages.
- Putting a Stop to Illegal Conduct — Class action suits can be beneficial because employees can seek an injunction against the company which declares that what the company is doing is illegal and the company cannot continue to violate the law. This is beneficial because an injunction in class action litigation can create a fair workplace.
If You Feel Cheated at Work, You're Probably Not Alone
Despite some of the strongest employment rights laws in the nation, California employees are routinely cheated out of rightful earnings by employers who put profits before the law. The class action lawyers at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP are known throughout the state of California for using class action lawsuits to protect groups of workers in cases involving overtime pay laws.
There are several advantages for employees to use class action lawsuits to vindicate their employee rights. Retaining a class action lawyer may be benefecial for employees in that:
- Employees can be responsible for stopping illegal employment practices not only for themselves, but also for their co-workers
- Workers can contribute to the creation of good public policy
- Employees can earn an extra Service Award Payment in addition to the money they would win in the lawsuit
As the first person to initiate a class action lawsuit against a business, your employer will be careful to treat you fairly once you have retained a class action lawyer. You may be eligible to receive significant compensation as a service award. The service award money is in addition to the settlement or money a jury awards the class representative in a class action lawsuit. Take a look at some of our class action settlements.

Ayahuasca Symposium: Lecture & Book Release[edit]
Event Information[edit]
- 3/4/2012 @ 2:00pm
- Lecture at 2pm followed by group discussion
Over the last several years, ayahuasca has become increasingly popular around the world. This exclusive free event is hosted by the Psychedelic Society of San Francisco out of Noisebridge. The speaker, Beatriz Caiuby Labate, is a renowned author, speaker, and researcher. We are lucky to have such an accomplished and amazing international researcher coming out to speak to our group! The event is free and refreshments will be served. Donations of any size are gladly accepted to help cover Bia's international travel expenses.
The event starts at 2pm on Sunday, March 4th, and will last about 2-hours.
- Refreshments will be served, followed by introductions
- Bia will present her lecture, Ayahuasca in a Global Context: Controversies, Public Debate, and Regulation
- Questions, socializing, and book signing
Lecture: Ayahuasca in a Global Context: Controversies, Public Debate, and Regulation[edit]
This presentation will address the internationalization of ayahuasca, a psychoactive substance made generally from the plants Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis. Ayahuasca has traditionally been used in indigenous, mestizo shamanic, and religious rituals in South America. In the last 20 years, its use has spread beyond the Amazon to the world, and has been accompanied by great controversy. This presentation will analyze the public debate around the expansion of the use of this substance. It will contemplate the discussions in media and society around legalization, religious freedom, cultural diversity, and health risks. This analysis makes use of ethnographic fieldwork in the main new contexts of use of this substance, such as ayahuasca tourism in Peru, and the expansion of the Brazilian ayahuasca religions (Santo Daime and UDV) around the world.
Book Release: The Internationalization of Ayahuasca[edit]
We're proud to be officially releasing The Internationalization of Ayahuasca, By Beatriz Caiuby Labate & Henrik Jungaberle (Eds.). This exclusive event will allow members an early chance to purchase this text, as well as a book signing.
Summary: The Internationalization of Ayahuasca is composed of 27 articles (almost 500 pages) and is divided in three parts: "Ayahuasca in South America and the world", "About medi-cal, psychological and pharmacological Issues: is the use of ayahuasca safe?" and "The ex-pansion of the use of Ayahuasca and the establishment of a global debate on ethics and legalization". The book brings together the work of scholars from different countries and academic disciplines to offer a comprehensive view of the globalization of this Amazonian brew. It presents a rich array of reflections on the complex implications of this expansion, ranging from health, spiritual and human rights impacts on individuals, to legal and policy impacts on governments. As ayahuasca drinking becomes an increasingly established practice beyond the Amazon in the early 21st century, Labate and Jungaberle have put together a collection that is an unprecedented contribution to a growing field of research. It is a must-read for people interested in the present and future of ayahuasca, as well as in spirituality, ethnobotany, social science theory, contemporary religious and ritual studies, therapeutic potentials of psychedelics, and international drug policy. (Kenneth W. Tupper, Ph.D.)
Beatriz Caiuby Labate has a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil. Her main areas of interest are the study of psychoactive substances, drug policies, shamanism, ritual, and religion. Since 2009, she has been a Research Associate at the Institute of Medical Psychology, Heidelberg University. She is also researcher with the Nucleus for Interdisciplinary Studies of Psychoactives (NEIP), and editor of its site (http://www.neip.info). She is author, co-author, and co-editor of eight books, two with English translations, and one journal special edition. Her book, "A Reinvenção do Uso da Ayahuasca nos Centros Urbanos" ("The Reinvention of Ayahuasca Use in Urban Centers," Mercado de Letras, 2004), was derived from her Master's thesis, which received the prize for Best Master's Thesis in Social Sciences from the National Association for Graduate Studies in Social Science (ANPOCS) in 2001.

So I was working with my project today and needed 5V and a very high amount of current ( About 5A) so I thought of using my CX750, while working I have noticed something very disturbing. The Standby power of this power supply is about 2.4V-3.1V, It should be 5V right?
so I have tasted my cheap old value top power supply and found out that value top was providing 5V on its standby rail.
So my question is, is my CX750 down? I understand one possibility is it's standby transformer and the circuitry might be down somewhat, not the transformer but the circuit that provide the standby power.
By the way once its powered up all of its rail provide proper voltages.
So, my questions,
1. Is it down?
2. Can I claim for warranty?
3. Do you think it's safe to use? (judging the facts that USB always on ports get power from standby 5V but lower voltage might not burn it still...)
and a request,
1. anyone have a corsair CX-750, can you do the same test and post result?
I have posted two photos with the measurements.
here is the link http://redwanhasan.blogspot.com/2015/02/temporary.html
any kind of help will be highly appreciated.

Syrian oil fields, now in rebel hands, still play crucial role in nation's economy
With colorful bandannas covering their faces to protect against the noxious smoke, displaced Syrians have been flocking to the country's oil-producing east to scratch out a living by operating primitive refineries in a setting that seems straight out of purgatory.
The pumps are running at the former state oil wells that dot the landscape, but since the area about a year ago came under the control of rebels who are battling to topple the government of President Bashar Assad, the pipeline has been shut down. Arab tribes in the region grabbed the land and now pocket the proceeds.
Usama Idris, 40, is one of the entrepreneurs who buy the crude, at 1,000 Syrian pounds – roughly $4.65 – a barrel. He then refines it into diesel fuel by a primitive and dangerous method – boiling it in vats over an open fire.
Many of the "refiners" are from the Deir el Zour area, but Idris is from Homs, some 180 miles southeast of here, and his story is typical of Syria's internally displaced, of which there are some 4.5 million, according to U.N. estimates. He's had to move five times in 18 months, forced each time from his temporary lodgings by government advances or food running out. By training, he's an Arabic-language teacher for elementary and middle schools but there's almost nowhere now to teach, with the schools here housing thousands of displaced people, Idris and his family included.
So he risks his life and his lungs daily as an oil refiner. "I have no other income," he told a McClatchy reporter.
Still, the $8 to $12 he earns each day isn't enough to sustain his wife and four children. His 15-year-old daughter is about to marry a man who's 23. Idris is not happy about the betrothal and seems embarrassed. "But it is an inescapable evil," he said. "We have to."
Others earn still less, among them several of his neighbors from the Karm al Zeitoun district of Homs, who help him operate the primitive, smoke-belching refinery. "I make about $2 a day," said Khalid, 18, who asked to be identified only by his first name for security reasons.
Idris isn't the only one who's had to make unthinkable compromises to keep going. At the natural gas-processing plant nearby, which opened in 2000 and once was operated by ConocoPhillips, gas continues to flow through the Arab line – to the Syrian government.
"The gas plant still sends gas to the regime," said Fadel Abdullah, 31, a former army officer who commands the rebels' Al Qadisiya brigade that has charge of Deir el Zour. "If it didn't, the regime would bomb the plant."
In Jandar, south of Homs, the government burns the natural gas to generate electricity. The gas is sent for free, but the government pays the salaries of some 400 technical and white-collar staff who keep the plant going, plant employees say.
The only exception to this is bottled gas, which generally used in Syria for cooking. That concession belongs to the Nusra Front, the al Qaida-affiliated group that's been at the forefront of many of the anti-Assad forces victories. Natural gas, drawn from the pipeline, is sold close to cost and then resold in other parts of Syria at a substantial markup.
Deir el Zour supplies about 10 percent of Syria's natural gas needs, local experts said, making it a vital factor in the country's energy supplies. When the pipeline shut down in mid-July – apparently because of a squabble between rebels from the more moderate Free Syrian Army and Nusra – the lights went off in Damascus.
"Forty-five percent of the Syrian people are getting their electricity from gas," Abdullah said.
The gas plant has come under government attack, however. In April, shelling from government troops stationed across the Euphrates River destroyed a warehouse where American-origin spare parts were stored. Distressed plant officials phoned the national Oil Ministry and pleaded for the government to halt the attack. After about a half-hour, the shelling stopped.
Employees think the shelling was the work of a local commander, not some higher-level official. "The government doesn't control its soldiers in areas of battle," said one employee who asked that he not be named for security reasons.
Whatever the cause, a shutdown usually leads to further problems. Thieves, for example, take advantage of the electricity cutoff to steal electrical cables and strip them of their copper, which they can resell.
The oil pipeline no longer operates and has been "completely compromised," said a gas plant employee who also didn't wish to be named.
Lawlessness prevails. At one of the wellheads, controlled by the al Agaidat al Bakayir tribe, a member didn't miss a beat when he was asked who owns the well. "We own the wellhead – until the next government takes it over," he said, identifying himself only as Uday, age 27.
He said his tribe wasn't concerned about losing its claim to another tribe. "We stole it," he said. "We grabbed it. We are all thieves."
While the local tribes can celebrate their good fortune, the newcomers have tales of woe. Idris said he and his family, who are members of Syria's Sunni Muslim majority, had fled Homs under threat of death from government troops and irregular pro-Assad militia known as the Shabiha in January 2012.
Idris said his Homs neighborhood was a mix of Sunnis and Alawites, adherents of the Shiite Islam offshoot to which Assad and much of Syria's elite belong. Then "one morning army soldiers, together with about 50 militiamen in black, told us we had to move out," he said. "We broke through the back walls to get out." He said he saw people shot while walking on the street.
He fled with his family to Rastan, a city north of Homs, and then to Termale, in the Homs countryside. Shelling drove them to Hasaka in eastern Syria. But there was no electricity, gas or water, and uncertain security, so they left for the village of Jadid Baggara in rebel-held Deir el Zour, where they now live.
Reconciliation with Assad now seems impossible, especially for the internally displaced. Khalid recalled that his family house in Homs had two floors, and the family's big machine shop in the town employed seven.
"Then they told us, 'We don't want any Sunni here,' " Khalid recounted. "We left with only the clothes on our backs." Now he's alone in Deir el Zour. His father, a biology teacher, sells cigarettes in Hasaka, a brother – one of seven siblings – is fighting near Homs and others are in Hasaka.
"God will deal with him," he said of Assad. "He made me homeless."
Idris, when he was asked whether there was anything he regretted or would do differently, had a succinct reply. "We had to revolt against this regime. It was brutal," he responded. "But the price we are paying is too high."
That said, "when the revolution wins, we will consider it worth the price. We have lost materially, but our spirit has not been defeated."

The United Arab Emirates is seeking to open up its market to foreign investment.
As of September 18, expatriates were allowed to trade in property firm, Emaar, the first company in the country in which foreigners were allowed to buy stock. Emaar was founded in 1997, guided by the goal of becoming a leader in property development, management and acquisition in both residential and commercial property.
Dubai's government holds a 32 percent stake in the firm, which was capitalized at Dh2.65 billion. Long-term investors own 30-40 percent of Emaar's stock, Economic Times reported.
Another sign of the opening marketplace will be presented by the National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD), which is expected to launch a mutual fund called UAE Global Growth Fund, in which stakeholders of all nationalities will be able to invest.
Meanwhile, Mohammed Ali Al Hosani, General Manager of the Abu Dhabi Free Zone Authority (ADFZA) conveyed that bank branches operating in the Saadiyat free trade zone no longer require a minimum up-front capital, and will be allowed to take in deposits from all UAE residents. –(Albawaba-MEBG)

Lewis Hamilton completed a clean sweep of practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix - with the aim now for a trouble-free qualifying.
On one of his favourite circuits, the Hungaroring, Hamilton has been on pole four times and taken the chequered flag on four occasions over his seven years in Formula One.
Another win on Sunday will ensure Hamilton becomes the most successful driver at this track in F1 history, with the 29-year-old and Michael Schumacher tied on four wins apiece.
But despite topping the timesheet again with the quickest lap of the weekend to date of one minute 24.048 seconds, Hamilton knows he has to have a clean qualifying session to give him a shot at a fifth win.
In Monaco, Hamilton's second hot lap was disrupted by yellow flags for a seemingly contentious off-track moment from team-mate Nico Rosberg who went on to claim.
In Canada and Austria Hamilton made mistakes, whilst at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix, an error of judgement again resulted in pole slipping through his fingers.
Last Saturday in qualifying for the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, a right-front brake disc failure in the first session catapulted Hamilton into a 30g impact into the barriers.
Despite still struggling with a sore back which has required physiotherapy, Hamilton has so far shown no signs of being plagued by the issue, showing impressive form in practice.
On his one-and-only flying lap on the quicker of the two compounds of Pirelli tyre available this weekend, the softs, Hamilton immediately went half a second quicker than Mercedes team-mate Rosberg.
The German, currently leading the standings by 14 points to Hamilton, managed to eventually narrow the time gap down to 0.047secs, but it appears his main title rival has far more in hand.
Four-times champion Sebastian Vettel, according to team principal Christian Horner now more at ease with his car than at any other time this season, finished four tenths of a second off the pace.
Team-mate Daniel Ricciardo was 0.630secs down in fourth, followed by Williams' Valtteri Bottas, showing some speed for the first time this weekend on a circuit not expected to suit the team's car.
The Ferrari duo of Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen were next up, both around seven tenths of a second adrift, with McLaren's Kevin Magnussen in close attendance in eighth on the timesheet.
The top 10 was completed by the Toro Rosso pair of Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniil Kvyat, with Williams' Felipe Massa 11th, all 1.1secs off of Hamilton.
Two-time winner at this track in McLaren's Jenson Button has so far struggled, finishing 12th and 1.420secs behind Hamilton, but more disconcertingly half a sacond adrift of team-mate Magnussen.
Marussia's Max Chilton was down in 20th, four seconds in arrears.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Construction- Magic Kingdom
It's January 20, 1980. Let's hop aboard the Admiral Joe Fowler Riverboat to see the the construction of Walt Disney World's latest E-Ticket attraction.
Wait a minute... TWO Riverboats?? Yes.
Look! A totem pole.
These wonderful photo were taken by Dan Hiller aboard the Riverboat in 1980. The attraction opened ten months later. Disneyland's Big Thunder opened 14 months prior to Magic Kingdom's Big Thunder.
We often hear that the track layout of the Magic Kingdom Big thunder is almost a mirror image of the Disneyland Big Thunder. How true is this? Below we see both mountains side-by-side. The Magic Kingdom layout is, indeed, almost a mirror image, but with bit of added track.
Here we see the Magic Kingdom version flipped horizontally and placed over the Disneyland version.
Big Thunder Mountain history goes way back and is extremely interesting. From Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland to Marc Davis to Thunder Mesa and Western River Expedition to Tony Baxter and everything since.
Thank you, Dan, for talking these photos back when few people thought of photographing theme park construction.
If anyone else would like to share their old photos of the Disney theme parks, share them with us via our PHOTO HUNT.

I currently have an 04 RT. I really love the bike but I also love the newer K12GT lines and performance. Any advise as to the transition to the GT from the RT.
The GT seems to have the rider leaning a bit more forward. Complaints, remarks?
And how is passenger comfort?
I'll miss my speakers on my RT as I do not wear a full face helmet.

Barclays 'too clever by half' over tax, pay and rulebook
Barclays was "arrogant and aggressive" over the past decade as it sought to avoid tax, evade regulation and protect huge pay packets for the 70 most senior figures, a damning report into the bank's business practices said yesterday.
An investigation commissioned by Barclays in the wake of the Libor scandal unearthed a string of hidden breaches and paints an organisation fighting a war of attrition against regulators and its own directors.
Anthony Salz, executive vice-president of Rothschild and a former senior partner of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, who was brought in to conduct the investigation, revealed in the 236-page report how an obsession with "winning" and getting around regulators drove Barclays to a crisis point. Mr Salz added that it was too early to say whether…

Some 'new' footage of Bradman playing during the 1932 tour of Canada has been released recently by the Australian National Film and Sound Archive.
It is about 13 minutes long with the best footage happening after the 6th minute mark. It features the best view of the great Arthur Mailey and Stan McCabe bowling we are ever likely to see, and of course Bradman himself. It is a shame that the action of each player is rather brief, but the camera is so close that we are to see quite clearly that most of the power in Bradman's shots came from the 'wrist-snap' of his bottom-hand.
Rare Bradman video shows unofficial honeymoon tour
Cricket lovers still pining after Ricky Ponting's retirement now have a little something to ease the pain – a rare film featuring Sir Donald Bradman in action.
The 13 minute black and white film titled Australi-ans in Toronto shows the cricket legend taking part in matches against Canadian teams in 1932.
Captured by the Ontario Motion Picture Bureau, it is believed to be only one of two known surviving films depicting Bradman at play somewhere other than Australia or the British Isles.
Bradman was visiting Toronto as part of a 51-match tour organised by former Australian Test leg spinner Arthur Mailey, who had gathered a team of past and present cricketers including lower level grade players.
The tour also acted as an unofficial honeymoon for Bradman and his new wife Jessie Menzies, who joined the touring party at Bradman's request.
The film was released by the National Film and Sound Archive, whose curator Simon Smith said the archive was happy to share the clip made at a time when "the spirit of cricket was as important as the result".

Cuomo Doubles National Guard Troops, Sends Aides Across State
Gov. Andrew Cuomo this afternoon doubled the number of National Guard troops deployed to the New York City area, adding another 1,000 soldiers to active duty.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo this afternoon doubled the number of National Guard troops deployed to the New York City area, adding another 1,000 soldiers to active duty.
He said that brings the total to about 1,900 deployed Saturday to aid in the response to Hurricane Irene.
"It is important to take every precaution as we prepare for the impact of Hurricane Irene," Cuomo said in a statement. "I have deployed additional members of the New York National Guard to make sure the evacuation process runs smoothly and to help with the emergency response efforts."
He said the additional troops will head to Long Island, New York City, and the Hudson Valley. They'll help with traffic control, sandbagging operations at the World Trade Center site and evacuation efforts.
He said he's also sending his top aides and commissioners to various emergency management centers across the state. Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy and secretary Larry Schwartz are in New York City, for example.
Here's the troops being deployed, according to Cuomo's news release:
The members of the National Guard called up today will come from the 1st Battalion 258th Field Artillery and 1st Battalion 69th Infantry, which are headquartered in New York City and have elements on Long Island and in the Hudson Valley, along with the 101st Signal Battalion, which is headquartered in Yonkers and has companies in Orangeburg and Peekskill. Elements of the New York Naval Militia, which is comprised of Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard Reservists, will also be called up to assist. The 88th Brigade of the New York Guard, the state's volunteer defense force, will also assist in this effort. Governor Cuomo will also mobilize 300 members of the 204th Engineer Battalion, which is headquartered in Binghamton and has elements in Hudson Valley and Western New York. This unit will be located at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh.

In respect to the 20 angels who were slaughtered in Newtown, Conn., I believe we, as a civilized society, need to have a rational discussion about gun control.
No one can argue the Second Amendment wasn't necessary when it was enacted, but times have changed.
We have progressed from muskets to laser-guided bombs that can be accurately delivered from miles away. We have automatic and semi-automatic guns that can fire as fast an one can pull the trigger. AR-15- and AK-47-style weapons are made for killing as many as possible in a short span of time. No civilian needs or should have access to these weapons.
Mental health checks are a red herring.
A stressful day, which we find ourselves living in these days, could result in many of us being committed to a "loony bin."
Mentally unstable people without access to large-capacity magazines and automatic rifles would not be able to inflict carnage, as in Newtown.
As for armed guards in every school, armed with pistols against automatic weapons - get real. The carnage could easily be greater.
Our teachers are already burdened with responsibilities, and do not need the added burden of carrying a gun and being required to undergo training.
I am extremely distressed about the silence of our religious leaders on this issue. Easter and Christmas will have a different meaning for me. I know the 20 angels will not be here to look for Easter eggs, nor will they excitedly wait for Dec. 25 to open presents.
Are we to become a nation of guns everywhere? I hope to never live in a society where guns are necessary for protection everywhere - in our malls, schools, government offices, churches and on every street corner.
It is time to curb access to mass-killing weapons, unless they are used by law enforcement or the military.
We, as a civilized society, owe it to the 20 angels - and we must speak for them. Our voices must drown out the political rhetoric by some politicians, who seem more interested in getting elected than the safety of our population.
I write this in memory of the 20 Newtown angels.

Richard Burton's Journals Reveal Passion for Elizabeth Taylor
(LONDON) -- In diaries set to be published this fall, Richard Burton calls Elizabeth Taylor, whom he married twice during a tumultuous love affair that spanned 13 years, "beautiful beyond the dreams of pornography" and his "greatest luck of all."
Details of the passionate love affair between Burton and Elizabeth Taylor will be laid bare when the actor's journals are published in October. Burton details his passion for Taylor, writing in November 1968 of how the actress, then one of the biggest stars in the world, had shaped him as a man.
"I have been inordinately lucky all my life but the greatest luck of all has been Elizabeth," he wrote. "She has turned me into a model man but not a prig, she is a wildly exciting lover-mistress, she is shy and witty, she is nobody's fool.
"She is a brilliant actress, she is beautiful beyond the dreams of pornography, she can be arrogant and willful, she is clement and loving. She is Sunday's child, she can tolerate my impossibilities and my drunkenness, she is an ache in the stomach when I am away from her and she loves me."
The actors, who starred together as Mark Antony and the title character in the classic 1963 film Cleopatra, and later as a bitter aging couple in the 1966 film adaptation of Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? were married twice, from 1964 to 1974 and then again from 1975 to 1976.
In a 1969 entry into the journals that were left to Sally Hay, whom Burton married in 1983, he writes on Taylor's beauty while hinting at the cracks that were forming in their relationship.
"I awoke this morning at about 7 o'clock. I stared at Elizabeth for a long time. I held her hand and kissed her very gently. Probably no woman sleeps with such childish beauty as my adorable difficult fractious intolerant wife," he wrote.
Burton, who was married five times and had four children, was nominated seven times for an Academy Award, but never won. The Welshman's reputation as a heavy drinker was notorious, as was his status as a womanizer, particularly with his leading ladies.
The Richard Burton Diaries pulls from 400,000 words in pocketbooks, desk diaries and loose paper, the BBC reported, all written before Burton died in 1984 at the age of 58. The book, which was edited by Swansea University professor Christopher Williams in Wales, is said to give a comprehensive portrait of the man.
"The words reveal somebody who is reflective and thoughtful and someone who engaged intellectually with the world around him," Williams told Britain's Daily Telegraph. "It's not just the ale-and-women kind of image."

A building development in a Colorado community is making national news headlines for trying to stop kids from drawing on sidewalks with chalk.
Some people in the Denver neighborhood of Stapleton find the chalk art "distracting" and "offensive," according to CBS Denver.
An attorney representing the group that's against chalk art told CBS: "The association is trying to go down a path of do no harm and prevent the sidewalk art as opposed to… until such time as it can get together and discuss it."
Families living in Stapleton are frustrated. "My initial reaction was, 'You have to be kidding me,'" Sara Cohen, mother of a 3-year-old, told CBS. ""We live on a courtyard and we all bought into the notion that we were sharing a space."
(Story update: More recent news reports indicate that the ban is aimed at stopping children from drawing on sidewalks in front of homes that aren't their own.)
Like Cohen, I find it hard to believe that anyone would find flowers, rainbows, kitty cats and hearts offensive. If anything, a child's scribblings on the sidewalk should be viewed as something that makes the neighborhood more colorful and vibrant. Any time I'm walking down a sidewalk and come across a rocket ship surrounded by floating dogs, I'm touched and my day is suddenly brighter. Who are these people in Colorado? They must be grumpy and miserable.
For kids drawing on sidewalks with chalk is a creative activity that gets them outside. It's a lot better than sitting in front of the television. If anything neighborhoods should complain when kids are cooped up inside and not out on the sidewalks skipping rope, roller skating and drawing with chalk.
