As for other motives for crime, give up your money. Killing another man just to save a few shekels is what I call misplaced priorities.
Let me tell you, just like me, you are nothing, you know nothing and you can judge nothing. Your perception is limited to what is front in you. We are not fit to have the privilege of meting out the ultimate retribution that is death. We cannot be trusted with it.
Because that is exactly what a gun is, the ability to inflict death on any man quickly, easily, and whenever you like. When you give a man, you give the ability to do so without the other person even having the chance to defend himself (look at what happened at these places, these are people that felt their fellow man deserved death, and used the tools their society gave them)
And if we talk about defense, the blood of the man you kill just to keep your paws on a bit of money, will be on your hands, not mine. Will you feel guilt knowing you could have killed someone's father, brother or son? Knowing that maybe he had just fallen on bad times, and could have maybe reformed himself if given the chance, knowing that you killed him, just so he wouldn't take the measly hundred dollars in your wallet?
Tell me, are you sure civilians would do so well in a gunfight, when even the police (who train extensively for this kind of thing) have poor accuracy?
Tell me, how can it be right to kill another in retaliation for such crimes as stealing or robbery?

All of the relevent studies on the subject have shown that gun control has failed to deter violent crime.
Therefore, there is no need to pass any more useless laws.
"Society" as you keep referring to it, doesn't make the rules in a constitutional republic. The contract that created that republic does.
Our contract, the constitution, protects the right of citizens to own weaponry and SCOTUS has upheld that.
So stop with the useless claptrap about me being a dictator.
I didn't hold the SCOTUS at gunpoint to make them judge in favor of Heller and I wasn't even alive when the Miller case was decided on (1939).
Freedom does not garauntee you any semblance of safety or protection from attack. That is propaganda perpetuated by morons like those at the DailyKos.
Freedom is not free, it's price is eternal vigilance and that includes in your daily life.
I've been in a similar situation, as I already mentioned and my instinct was to flee when I was not armed, and to fight when I was, so yes I would fight in that situation.
What others would do is known only to them.
Non-partisan studies have already determined gun control has no effect on violent crime.
Suicides yes, it does reduce suicide of men over 55, but that's not the issue here.
You come off like a hoplophobe because you want to restrict/ban firearms but not due to crime?
See, that's how I know you're not thinking logically about this.
You keep posting about how you don't want to hear about violent crime, and then start talking about how we need to reduce deaths by firearms because of violent crime.
Which is it?
Your argument is a nonsequitor, you lead in with "I'm not talking about violent crime," only to say later "if we can just stop all the deaths from firearm related violence."
It makes you look like a schizophrenic.
The founders of this country owned cannons, and in some cases merchant-marine warships, so don't go into what kinds of weapons they owned. And don't give me the "the founders knew nothing of rapid fire weapons" because I already blew that stupid argument out of the water in this thread.
There is a litmus test for what arms are allowed and the US vs. Miller case created it.
That test is as follows.
Is a weapon useful to the militia?
To answer that, we need to know what kinds of weapons the militia are supposed to have.
That is determined by Article 1, section 8, of the US constitution.
The weapon must be:
a) In general use by military forces of the day.
b) Useful to uphold the laws of the Union.
c) Useful to put down insurrections.
d) Useful to repel invasions.
That's it.
Is a nuclear weapon good for any of that?
Is a chemical weapon good for any of that?
Is a biological weapon good for any of that?
How about a tank?
Not all three of them, probably just one, so no.
How about a warship?
How about a jet fighter?
Again, just one of them (invasion), so no.
How about an attack helicopter?
How about an APC?
Maybe, depends what it is armed with, so that one is conditional.
Smoke only, frag or other types would only be useful to repel an invasion.
Assault rifle?
Yes, it can be used for all three.
Semi-auto military style weapon?
Hunting weapons?
No, they cannot adequately perform two of the three tasks (invasion and insurrection).
The opinion handed down by SCOTUS in US vs. Miller is what set the presedence for that litmus test.
If only a few hundred thousand were to fight?
Then no.
If say, 10% of gun owners fought.
Then absolutely yes, this government would be overthrown.
That paranoia belongs to people who are afraid of firearms and thus calling for gun control.
Secure persons aren't afraid of inanimate objects, they are only concerned with things that can actually hurt them--you know, other people.
I've been comparing your arguments to those on BradyCampaign, GunPolicyCenter, and other sources of hoplophobic propaganda. Funny how your posts mirror what is on those sites.
You labeled yourself a collectivist, so you only have yourself to blame for that.
Collectivism is not compatible with the US constitution nor the Declaration as it protects "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (taken from John Locke).
So yes, collectivism by its very nature is anti-American.
I see it as a deterent to exactly that kind of scenario.
I don't want to live under a right-wing Theocracy any more than you do, and I sure as hell don't want to live under a statist government of any kind.
Are those practitioners all paranoid?
My teacher of Krav Maga instructs all of his students to purchase a firearm and learn how to use it.
Does that make him paranoid?
No, it doesn't, nor does it make me or anyone else who wishes to be safe in our daily lives. You cannot take back a bad situation once it starts, and if you cannot escape, you must deal with it. If you face an attacker with weapon, and you lack equal force, you are probably going to be injured or killed.
Here we are back at violent crime again.
I thought your argument wasn't about homicide?
You have said numerous times in your last post alone, that you ARE NOT CONCERNED about violent crime.
So stop trying to use it as a basis for your argument.
You cannot have it both ways.
Gee, how many lives have been terminated by abortion?
Oh that's right, about 53 million, but that doesn't bother you correct?
That's a lot of fetuses that would have become people.
Now I ask you again, how can you support abortion on the one hand, but get bent out of shape by 600 people dying accidentally on the other?
I have no problem with the deaths of 53 million babies who were unwanted, I also have no problem with accidents since you know, they're accidental.
The fact is, using that fuzzy logic of yours, we should ban everything from cars, to fatty foods, to unprotected sex, anal sex, anything that can cause death.
And you call me paranoid, that's funny.
And I would never call you a communist, they at least know the value of guns.
Mao: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
Smart man, a monster, but smart nonetheless.
Who appointed you dictator for life?
It turned the gangs in this country into millionaires overnight and allowed them the money to arm themselves to the teeth with military weapons.
You want to reduce deaths from firearms, end the drug war.
I lived in Mass back then and couldn't own a gun, neither could the guy that shot at me.
He didn't follow the law, I did.
I had to run for my car and get out of there as fast as I could.
After that I promised myself I would never be a victim...ever.
That's part of why I moved out here to CO.
When I got accosted at the 7/11, my revolver saved my life.
Those two men were armed, and there is no way I was going to risk having to rely on their "kindness" to stay alive.
So yes, in my case, I'd probably be dead right now if not for my .357.
See, this is why I told you you lost the argument.
You can't even follow your own line of thinking.
You're all over the place, jumping from safety, to crime, to society's duties, and all manner of other nonsense when only one thing needs to be addressed.
Does gun control effect crime?
No, every study shows it does not.
End of debate.

On your second allegation, I have much less polite word I would like to use here with your not-so-thinly-veiled implications, but as someone who's actually spent time on the ground in those war zones, the Allied/US military very much followed the Geneva Convention most of the time, with some unfortunate exceptions. The insurgents however, indeed did not give a shit about the Geneva Convention
In extreme close quarters, the defender have much less time to make his/her move, and if the countermeasure failed or was ineffective, they are extremely unlikely to get another chance before being overpowered or for the engagement to turn into a melee fight. In the case of pepper spray, if the defender was unable to properly spray the correct area, he/she is unlikely to have the chance to aim and spray again. In the case of someone who's resistant to pepper spray, they simply would not have the chance to seek out alternative methods of defense.
Also, you more than anyone else in this thread have been assuming the most
about "other people's countries", hypocrite much?
Well, another buddy of mine from Ireland has this to say about your claim that Ireland police "almost never have to carry guns":
"Down south yea, it's mostly rural communities you see. Up north and near the bigger cities no way", and "...Rose tinted glasses there. Dublin's just like any other capital city in a first world country".
The only person here that's doing any "judging" here is actually you, by placing the value of the criminal's life on a pedestal, while relegating the value of the victim's life to the second tier.
In the real world, humans aren't angels. We have wars, famine, the have and the have not, and yes, criminals who WOULD kill their victims, regardless of whether they complied with their demand or not.
you know even less about how police departments operate They're not exactly special force operators and gets to spend however much time training and shooting whenever they want (same in the military). Actual department required training/qualification is pitifully little, your typical civilian gun enthusiasts are likely to have FAR MORE range time than what normal police department's mandated training dictates.

Let me try and explain this one to you. Crime is crime, and it occurs regardless of what weapons are available. Even if people had nothing but their fists, there would be crime. Agree? In some crimes it's simply a matter of property being stolen; in other crimes, people get hurt. Put a powerful weapon into people's hands, and what do you think will happen when those crimes take place? The magnitude of damage inflicted is increased. The ease with which a life can be taken is increased. This is pure logic.
Your argument against it is that allowing for force to be equalized is a method to guard against that. I have not argued that it isn't (although I take issue with the unrealistic manner with which you claim it protects you). However, the other argument is that we can guard against it by keeping these weapons out of people's hands. Now don't get too excited: this isn't stretching to say that firearms should be entirely banned from society. What it is saying is that if we reduce their numbers, the chances of their being used in crimes (but not the number of crimes) will decrease. This is also pure logic.
I'd laugh at how absurd that is, but I'm more concerned because you don't seem to understand how disconnected your thoughts are. A bit of paranoia is good and healthy, and I'm not making fun of you for it, but let's call it for what it is, OK?
1) The abortion argument is totally separate from this, and hinges on your personal belief as to when life begins. No human can truly say when life begins, but many arrogant fools like to proclaim a certain time and then act as if their view is the ultimate truth. I clearly do not view life as beginning at the same time as you do, therefore I do not recognize your claim about "lives being terminated."
2) You've tried these types of distractors before, such as bringing up deaths related to automobile accidents. I know you're not stupid, so why are you acting like we can only focus on one thing at a time? If you want to discuss ways to reduce auto-related deaths, start a thread for it and we can discuss it there. We're talking about guns in this thread. A preventable death due to a gun is just as tragic as a preventable death due to some other cause, and I think we can all agree that we should always strive to eliminate those deaths as much as we possibly can.
Ban guns? No, but we can reduce their numbers, and in doing so we might be able to knock out some of those preventable deaths that are related to them.
If anyone besides GundamFan0083 and LostCause thinks the line of reasoning I've prevented above represents "fuzzy logic" please say so. kyp275, I would appreciate your input and reasoning.
I didn't reply to a number of your paragraphs because I'm trying to keep my post length down. Rest assured, I didn't leave things out because I had no retort. If you felt that I bypassed a winning argument, let me know and I'll respond specifically to it.

@ Ledgem, GundamFan0083: Please drop the sarcastic remarks already. I gave you both a warning by deleting your previous posts, but you are now back at each other throats.
Other people are also resorting to this and the same warning goes for them. Please stop doing this already.

It does no one any good to have the debate devolve into another typical shouting match on the interwebs where everyone can only hear their own voice.
Ultimately it's a simple matter of where everyone drew their line. Gundam and Don represents the two opposite extreme ends in this thread, while me and you are more towards the center, albeit still on opposite side of the spectrum.

The issue isn't about money vs. life, it is about your life vs. the criminals. Last time I checked there was no mind-reading device that will tell you what exactly the criminal is planning or a time machine that shows you what would happen later. You're literally basing your entire argument on the assumption that every criminal will ever only want your money and would never hurt or kill you if you give them the money, which is not only patently false, but is also so far into the realm of fantasy even magic ponies would think you're nuts.[quote]You are equally assuming that all(or most) criminals are sadists. The vast majority of your regular variety of criminals are only in it for free stuff.
The Sadists, are more likely to strike you in such a way that it's difficult for you to defend yourself, gun or no gun. Because they're not in it for the money, they're in it to see you squirm.
I couldn't care less about Ireland, but I make my statement based on the assumption that even in Ireland, police officers would prefer not to die, which they certainly will if they try to work while being unarmed in the scenario i laid out before.[quote] Police officers can be given guns under certain circumstances, for instance if they're raiding a criminal and they have good intelligence indicating they're armed.
And most of the violent crimes are committed against you by people you know, not total strangers.
I put more trust in my police officer then my fellow neighbourhood "vigilante". For one thing, I don't know what his motives are. He might at some point use that gun of his against me for his own personal vendetta. How can I have a civil disagreement with someone if he can drive round my house and put a gun to my head?

It's also not a simple clear divide between criminals that are just in it to make some quick cash and sadists that are serial killers in the making. Most of the time it's simply a someone who's high on drugs, or is simply very nervous. Many common criminals, even when armed, often runs away when their would-be victims suddenly turned out to be armed. Other times though the nerves breaks down in the wrong way. As an example, last year a local off-duty police officer was robbed at a gas station, the guy actually started shooting AFTER the officer identified himself as a police officer.
Was the guy a sadist? no, he simply lost his nerve and panicked.
The long and short of it is all 3, depending on the circumstances. One key point you've seem not to notice so far: When you bestow upon the criminal an absolute inviolate protection, where they cannot be killed under any circumstances, you have effectively done the opposite to their victims. You'd grant criminals the guarantees that they will not be killed, yet say to their victims "tough luck"?

Speaking for myself here, I had no problem with the capacity limit, since neither if my carry guns were hi-capacity in the first place.
@Ledgem, I'm not playing your game anymore. I never said your logic was fuzzy, at least not in this thread. Now what I said to you in private, well that's between you and I. And my PM box is open!

The truth is somewhere in the middle (except for the ponies and space marines...).
We're arguing around a balance. On the one we have lives saved from guns. On the other Deaths caused by guns. I'm of the opinion that the former is negligible, and the latter is substantial. You may or may not disagree.
But I don't want this to devolve down statistics (for one thing, it's dull). But there is a balance here. Before I continue, I want to re-highlight that I am ignoring hunting and sport, which are entirely separate issues from guns for the purposes of self defence. Guns are used to inflict death, that is their purpose. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shooting to wound is very difficult (and requires much better marksmanship then shooting to kill), and in a combat situation, most people will shoot to kill simply out of panic. With the flowing adrenaline, they're not going to be so careful to shoot for the legs instead.
My point is that we are fallible, and in our fallibility we will use our power where we should not. Better that we disarm our society, so that our mistakes are limited to wounding others, rather then killing them. And killing a criminal is a mistake. Even if his acts are wrong, he is still a human being deserving our empathy and even our compassion.
You might favour the idea of having a gun for self defence. But would you favour being the guy who shoots first? Consider if you were the police officer in that scenario. Should you have shot him before he had the chance to respond? Would you be able to pull the trigger so unhesitatingly? And what if you got spooked? You panicked and shoot a guy, but it turns out to be a misunderstanding?
Great power requires the judgement to use that power. I do not think most of us (including myself) have that level of judgement. Instances where guns are not required tend to outnumber those where they are, and I think the average person will over-react, and assume a minor threat is a mortal one.
There may be such situations, but do these situations occur more often then situations where unnecessary misunderstandings lead to unnecessary loss of life? That I do not know.
Now if you accidentally kill him...
Also, let everyone have guns, and some of those people will be crazy! I'm sure there are people you know in your life who you wouldn't trust with a gun. I know there are some in mine. There was one guy I knew for a while who had something of a temper, and often punched people for no good reason(and he did not seem to have a sense of his actions having consequences). What if he had had a gun? I could easily imagine him unflinchingly shooting another person dead.

and no, a gunfight doesn't overwhelmingly favors the guy who shoots first, it only favors the guy who hits his target. And a gun is a tool, it can be used for offensive or defensive purposes.
As for whether I'll be able to pull the trigger, yes. You don't draw your weapon unless you're ready to fire if you have to.
And why would I get spooked and panic and shoot a guy? you'll have to be more specific.
However, the criminal is the aggressor, he/she initiated the encounter, to say that the victim does not have the right to fully defend themselves is ludicrous. If that meant that the criminal, the aggressor who initiated the attack, loses his/her life, then so be it, it is a result of their own making.
Something else you're also still not getting. Life is not a video game, just because someone is unarmed doesn't mean they can't kill you with their bare hands or whatever weapons of opportunity they can fight, like a lamp or your kitchen knife. I find it amazing that you've continued treat the life of a criminal as if it's the second coming of Jesus, but gives it absolutely no thought as you continue to pile on unreasonable and impossible expectations on the victims.
Lock yourself into a closet? what good will that do? delay them by all of 2 seconds as they kick it down? attack them with a baseball bat? there's probably nothing more dangerous and foolhardy than trying to engage in a physical melee with a weapon when you're untrained. Not everyone is a MLB slugger either, you think an old man or old (or young) woman for that matter will be able to do all that much with a bat? especially if there were multiple assailants?
You continue to have the problem of setting up one specific scenario under which your ideas might work, but fail to consider the broad implication such ideas would have outside of your specific scenario.

Now if the defender is more accurate then the offender, say 70% vs. 30%, we get a 30% chance of the defender being hit, and a 49% chance of the offender being hit. So while the defender is more likely to hit in this circumstance, the advantage is not as great as their skill levels would indicate, as the defender first has to "dodge" that first shot.
Flip those skill levels around and make the offender more skilled then there's a 70% chance of the defender being wounded, but now only a 9% chance of the offender being wounded.
Now obviously, this is a simplified model, for one thing I pulled those numbers right out of my ass, I don't know what the real life accuracy levels of marksmen are. But there's no reason to believe a hypothetical criminal will be more or less skilled with a gun then the defender. He has equal access to practising at his local gun range(or the cans on his porch) as the other guy after all. But the more skilled the offender is, and the more effective the weapons, the more the guy who shoots first is benefited.
The other imperfection of the above model is that it assumes that they return fire in turns. In reality, he may have time to get off two or three shots before you have a chance to draw your weapon. Real life situations are more complicated.
At best you can argue that your likelihood of being raped, assaulted or killed is unrelated to gun ownership, and only related to social factors. But that means that guns don't help americans on the whole defend themselves at all! Just as many (if not more) Americans are the victims of violent crime as in any other country with or without guns. The amount that your guns make you safer is more then outweighed by the amount you're endangered by almost every tom dick and harry being able to get a gun due to their abundance.

Don, there already are restrictions, background checks, and a registration of sorts!
First you must posess a valid I.D. In your state, second pass a criminal background check, and third fill out a form 4473 when you purchase a firearm. That form will be kept by the dealer and at some point the ATF will come in and check them. The bachround check is instantly done over the phone.

Some people say that if someone is crazy enough to get you, then it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a gun or not. While this is somewhat true, I think that's not quite the whole story.
A gun is an enabler. An empowering tool. With an enabler as strong as this, you don't have to be as "determined" to go on a crime spree with a gun than with your bare hands or with a knife.
Similar to how you can feel safe and won't need to spend excess effort defending yourself with a gun (assuming your assailant(s) don't have one either), the assailant(s) also won't need to work out as much effort to go on an assault (compared when not using guns).
I don't think guns should be banned, but guns shouldn't be sold free for all either. There have to be regulations for it. Similar to how driving licenses are handled. Proper screening, training, and education have to be in order for someone to have the right to own and shoot a gun. Of course, there will always be hiccups and ways around it, as with any other governmental procedures, but it's always better than to have no regulation at all.

Volunteers from Home Depot launched a large-scale project to renovate the Community Services headquarters on Norton Street, with a plan to rework the former firehouse into a space that offered more possibilities to the department.
There are two branches in Home Depot within in Southington – this one is on the southern side of town in the Milldale. The inspiration for this project came from a good-natured competition between the store and the Queen Street Home Depot to see which could collect the most non-perishable food items for Community Services. When the donations were dropped off, the store's workers realized they might be able to further help the department.
"This room was overloaded and there was stuff everywhere," said store manager Nick Brosca. "We're hoping this will help them get more out of this space."
The work, which began last Thursday morning and was expected to last two days, includes adding new insulation, drywall and paint to the large room at the back of the department's headquarters. A door was also widened by six inches to make it handicapped-accessible and workers assembled numerous shelves to help Community Services organize their stockpile of donated items more efficiently.
"They had everything piled up in here," said Jim Bacon, a service associate at Home Depot. "Now we'll have shelves and racks for them to use."
The store also gave the department $8,500 worth of gift cards to purchase a refrigerator and other fixtures and furniture meant for a new bathroom adjacent to the back room.
"We're so excited," said Community Services Director Janet Mellon. "Life here will be so much easier. We'll be more efficient and we'll be able to do more things for less money."
Mellon said the department hopes to use the additional space to conduct classes while still being able to hold all its donated material.
Several state and town officials visited the firehouse as the construction began to thank the volunteers.
"This is no small thing for us," said Town Manager Garry Brumback. "It's one thing to give material, but to give time like this is even more special."

"I hope the president will forgive me if I do this one," says Sir Paul McCartney as he launches into a lovely rendition of "Michelle." As McCartney croons, President Barack Obama sings quietly to his wife, first lady Michelle Obama, who is beaming at McCartney.
Find a woman, especially one named Michelle, who wouldn't.
"I could be the first guy ever to be punched out by the president," McCartney says.
This unfolds near the end of a delightful concert, "Paul McCartney in Performance at the White House" Wednesday, July 28, on PBS (check local listings).
Taped in June, when the president bestowed upon the former Beatle the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the 90-minute concert features various artists covering McCartney's songs. McCartney is visibly touched, explaining in a brief segment before the concert that his father adored Gershwin.
"I just love music," McCartney says. "It doesn't matter what style it is -- classical, Django Reinhardt, the Stones, the Beatles."
Leading up to the concert in the East Room, McCartney is shown arriving at the White House, and he's clearly excited.
"I've been showing off, telling mums at school, 'Guess where I'm going! I'm going to play for the pres!' " he says.
After McCartney opens with "Got to Get You Into My Life," musicians from different genres take the stage. Stevie Wonder is first with his arrangement of "We Can Work It Out."
The well-connected crowd is subdued but rapt. Malia Obama looks extremely happy when the Jonas Brothers take the stage a couple of feet from her. They perform a perfect cover of "Drive My Car." Unlike the Jonas Brothers' usual concerts, no one shrieks.
Jerry Seinfeld does shtick about prizes and what a loose term that is, considering people get prizes at amusement parks, there's a Nobel Prize winner in the room, and now this prize. Yet the star of the night is music, McCartney's glorious music.
Jack White, lead vocalist of the White Stripes, performs a haunting version of "Mother Nature's Son."
Like all the artists, White is dressed more formally than we expect, and mainly in black. Faith Hill takes the stage next and sings an exquisite "The Long and Winding Road."
Herbie Hancock accompanies Corinne Bailey Rae in a jazzy rendition of "Blackbird."
Though most of the artists come onstage, look a bit nervous, perform flawlessly and leave quietly, befitting the stately room, Elvis Costello has something to say.
He reminisces about how music is "often an us-against-them proposition," but he recalls how his parents and he were entranced the first time they heard a song that took place half a mile from where his mother was from. He then sings "Penny Lane."
Emmylou Harris, Dave Grohl and Lang Lang also perform. What's so stunning about the songs is how much a part of the popular American songbook they are.
When Obama presents the award, he talks about how the Beatles "in a few short years changed how we listened to and thought about music forever."
The president then states this remarkable fact: "Nearly 200 of his songs made the charts and stayed on the charts -- for an accumulative total of 32 years."
McCartney is visibly moved by the award and affirms his continued support of the president. Ever the performer, he goes on to play "Eleanor Rigby," "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be."
"I don't think there could be anything more special than playing here," McCartney says.
At the end, at least of the unfinished version of this show, there's a clip from another concert on the eve of the June taping of this one. McCartney walks out on the bare stage and says, "Some of those songs. I don't know where they come from."
He tells about waking up with a song in his head. He asked John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison if they knew it. They didn't. "It's a magical, mysterious process," McCartney says. "This song came to me in a dream."
And with that, he begins singing the most recorded song in history, "Yesterday."
"I hope the president will forgive me if I do this one," says Sir Paul McCartney as he launches into a lovely rendition of "Michelle." As McCartney croons, President Barack Obama sings quietly to his wife, first lady Michelle Obama, who is beaming at McCartney.

Arrests at Occupy Raleigh concern Mayor Meeker
The arrests of eight people Thursday at an Occupy Raleigh protest did not sit well with Mayor Charles Meeker.
Meeker said it was his understanding that Raleigh police would get involved only "if there were an assault on a Capitol Police Officer or other similar disturbance."
But a different scenario played out. City officers aided Capitol Police in arresting eight people, including a disabled woman sitting on a chair, after the demonstrators refused to leave a sidewalk in front of the Capitol.
"The City Council needs to provide guidance" to city brass on how to balance the rights to assembly and free speech with the need for orderly conduct, Meeker wrote in a memo to his colleagues Friday. "I am concerned that the constitutional rights are not being given adequate weight."
A protest leader said Occupy Raleigh had contacted City Manager Russell Allen for help but found that Allen's hands were tied because the sidewalk falls under the jurisdiction of Capitol Police.

In-circuit Test > Keysight Medalist i1000
Introducing our latest low-cost and digital-capable Medalist i1000D In-Circuit Test System
Cover Extend Technology (CET) is now supported on the Medalist i1000D. The i1000D only requires a VTEP MUX card to enable CET. If you are already using test fixtures with VTEP MUX cards , you can now implement CET without any fixture modification. Simply add new VTEP probes to devices that were previously not testable. This greatly reduces implementation efforts.
In addition, the mixed signal test mode is now available. Test strategies like digital to analog and analog to digital are now within reach of the i1000D. The mixed tests combine both the analog and digital test sources into a single file, allowing you to see both test source at the same time easily.
With its unique per pin programmable capability, the i1000D has improved its flexibility in supporting a new pin drive test mode. You can selectively control any digital resource on the tester for disabling or preconditioning pins. In short, the pin drive test mode gives you full control of the available digital drivers on the tester, without the need for a digital test library.

Saturn is the only planet visible to the naked eye at night this August. Face southwest at dusk and you'll see Saturn near a star of similar brightness—Spica in Virgo. Saturn is a bit to the right of Spica as you face southwest. The ringed planet remains well placed for evening viewing and remains in the night sky until late September 2011.

Mars and Jupiter are in the pre-dawn sky. Jupiter, set against a background of very dim stars, dominates the southeastern pre-dawn sky and is due south at dawn by the end of the month. Mars is dimmer and much lower in the east northeast. It has fully emerged from the sun's glare and will brighten slightly each morning. Venus is now out of sight. Superior conjunction (alignment on the far side of the sun) is on August 16.
The Big Dipper is to the left of the North Star, with its handle pointing up. From that handle, you can 'arc to Arcturus' and then 'speed on to Spica'; those stars are in the west and southwest at dusk. Antares, brightest star of Scorpius, the Scorpion, is in the south, with the 'teapot' of Sagittarius to its left. Meanwhile, the Summer Triangle is approaching the zenith. The stars of summer now dominate the evening sky. In late evening, you can watch the Great Square of Pegasus rise in the east.
Moon Phases in August 2011:
1st Quarter August 6, 6:08 a.m.
Full Moon August 13, 1:57 p.m.
Last Quarter August 21, 4:56 a.m.
New Moon August 28, 10:03 p.m.
The annual Perseid Meteor Shower peaks this year on Saturday morning, August 13. Unfortunately, the moon (full on the 13th) hides all but the very brightest meteors and thus spoils the show. If you want to see just how many Perseids can outshine the moonlight, the best hours are from roughly 2 a.m. to dawn.

Chevrolet Malibu Maxx Real World MPG
ssan Posts: 5The power is the same as it always been since new which seems fine so as a basis for comparison I would say that that is not the problem. Dealer said everything came back to spec and now they would pursue the plugs like I had mentioned... after that they seemed to be reaching for a solution...I am reaching as well I realize we do mostly around town driving but in Buffalo NY traffic is never "real' bad. Our other vehicle is a v6 explorer and even that gets 14-16 around town so for the malibu to be getting similar something is off.. Dealer also checked for computer updates etc. Just not sure I want to start spending hundreds of dollars for experimental fixes. On the other hand I would like to solve the problem but at this point solutions seem vast and many!0
comem47 Posts: 399I guess I'm out of ideas on this. If you've stuck with stock tires( no reason for odometer difference) and the analyzer came up clear I don't know unless you're a severe lead foot driver. (I know I am compared to my wife, but not that big a difference) Hope you find it as we've always bragged to our friends about how good her Maxx is for an auto V6 when it comes to MPG.(she's got the power when she needs it with no apparent sacrifice in MPG). I don't think they made any big changes in '07 vs the '06 3.5L engine. I would have thought their tests would have revealed stuff like a stuck choke with all the things the computer measures.0
marks_maxx Posts: 1I recently bought a 2006 Malibu Maxx with 41,000 miles. Yesterday I did some freeway traveling and was pleasantly surprised when my mileage per the DIC read over 32 miles per gallon for the trip. The route included hills, flats and some traffic so the mileage is a good representation of expected future freeway mileage. When I bought the car the DIC read 24 mpg and this is most likely the combined mileage the car gets.0
I love my 2006 Maxx but the DIC number is about 2 MPG better than the reality. Record fuel purchased and the distance between the fillups, divide the latter by the former -- you'll get your numbers and tnen we can compare them with mine. :-)0
sgr5516 Posts: 156I had 2004 Maxx LS. Averaged 24-25 MPG mixed driving (calculated by me). Also, could go 5-6000 miles between oil changes per Oil Life Monitor. That car was totalled around 30,000 mi (no injuries). I replaced with 2006 Maxx LTZ, which has same engine, trans, steering as the 2004. The 2006 lifetime MPG to-date is only 20.4 (calculated) and oil needs to be changed every 3000 mi per OLM. DIC on both overated MPG by 2.0 mi.0
Your data on the 2006 is close to mine 2006 LT: 2 MPG DIC overrating, OLM readings equivalent to about 3500 - 4000 miles between oil changes, recent (this sping and summer) real MPGs being 22-24, at the average speeds recorded from 24 to 42 MPH.0

Release Courtesy of UC Santa Cruz Athletics
MERCED, CA -- The Slugs overcame a slow start and an injury to Leah Parrish to defeat the UC Merced Bobcats 80-71. With their second leading scorer out, the Slugs needed other players to step up. Sarah Mackey responded with 22 points, 16 rebounds and 6 blocks. Erin Joo added 19 Points and 4 assists and Geena Giovannetti poured in 18 points and snatched 6 rebounds.
This game was far from easy. The Slugs could not find the basket early and trailed 8-2. Mackey led the comeback scoring seven straight points over the much smaller Bobcats. The Slugs rallied to take a 12-10 lead. Over the next few minutes the team traded baskets. Whenever the Slugs seemed poised to break the game open the Bobcats responded. The Bobcats held a slim 31-29 lead at the 5 minute mark. The Slugs finally asserted themselves over the last 5 minutes outscoring the Bobcats 16-4. Joo delivered a three and a beautiful pass to set up an easy basket for Mackey. Giovannetti hit two free throws. Trina Torres converted a critical three pointer and hit Giovannetti for a sweet 3 pointer at the buzzer to give the Slugs a 44-36 half time lead.
The second stanza was a mirror of the first. Every time the Slugs extended the lead to double digits, the Bobcats came back. Layups by Giovannetti and Joo extended the lead to 50-39 but the Bobcats would not quit. Merced converted back to back turnovers in baskets and cut the lead to 57-49 with 11 minutes to go. Sarah Crane started another Slug run with a tough layup in traffic and a beautiful assist to Mackey. When Taylor Willis hit the cutting Giovannetti with a lovely back door pass, the Slugs led 65-51.
The Bobcats came back one last time cutting the lead to 8 but the Slugs made enough free throws down the stretch to secure a 80-71 victory.
The Slugs continue the season at home against Pacific Union on Sat. Jan 11th at 7pm.

A: The government only eliminated specific school fees for textbooks, workbooks, photocopying and printing paper. Q: My school used to collect all field trip fees in September. Why did that change? A: September is a very expensive month for families. We have stopped collecting field trip fees upfront that could be paid later to ease the financial strain on families. Q: How will I know what the fees are in my school? A: Your school's fee structure will be posted on their website once approved by the Minister, hopefully by the end of August. Your school will also inform you of your child's specific fees, based on their courses in late September. Q: What if I can't afford my school fees? A: Please meet or contact your school principal to discuss your circumstances and determine if you need an alternate payment plan or if you need your school fees waived. SCHOOLS CAN CHARGE FOR: agendas; technology user fees including student-used software, apps, and site licenses; headphones; whole school activities (cultural or musical presentations, plays, student council/union); communication envelopes/pouches; and PE apparel, if mandatory at the elementary and junior high level. We have bundled this as a Supplemental Education fee and set a maximum charge of: Kindergarten: $30 Grades 1-6: $50 Grades 7-9 $60 Grades 10-12: $90 And schools can also charge for: Academies Senior High $90 refundable textbook deposit Options/complementary courses Activities like Field trips, farewell/ graduation activities IB and AP exams Personal music equipment like recorders, mouthpieces/reeds, and hand bell gloves Optional items and activities: social activities; hot lunches; yearbooks; extracurricular teams; clubs; optional fitness program/fitness room access; apparel; refundable cap and gown rental Replacement of lost resources or those that have been damaged beyond use 2019-2020 TRANSPORTATION FEES The Government of Alberta has eliminated transportation fees for: those residing 2.4 km or more from the designated school they attend for regular or special education programming; those who have a disability, or disabilities, that prohibit them from using regular transportation services; children attending an Early Childhood Services program, such as kindergarten, for noon-hour transportation. The Government of Alberta has subsidized transportation fees for: eligible students who take ETS so that they pay only the difference between the cost of a monthly public transit pass and per-student provincial transportation funding. Q & A Q: Which students get free bus passes? A: Any students attending the regular program at their designated school and living 2.4 km or more from that school. All students have a designated school that is determined by the attendance area for that school. All special needs students who require yellow school bus transportation and all kindergarten transportation has been and will continue to be free. Dual Track Schools: Students who live within the attendance area of their designated school for regular programs but who are enrolled in a program of choice such as a language program or sports academy at that school, qualify for a free bus pass. Q: Which students pay the full cost of a bus pass: A: Students attending their designated school and living less than 2.4 km from that school all students attending a School of Choice such as a French Immersion or bilingual language program, sports academy, arts or science academy, International Baccalaureate or Advanced Placement program, or other alternative program, regardless of distance from the residence. For example: J.H. Picard is a single track French immersion program and is not a "designated" school for regular programming. All students attending this school will be charged for the cost of a bus pass. Q: Which students pay the $18 Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) differential fee: A: This applies to any students attending their designated school and living 2.4 km or more from that school and who use ETS. The differential fee is $20/month and is based on the amount payable to Edmonton Transit of $750/year less the $549 basic transportation grant = $201/10 months = $20/month differential fee. ETS bus passes may be used after school hours and on weekends, therefore, the differential fee is seen as the cost of this enhanced service. Q: Why do I have to pay for busing for programs of choice like Immersion and Bilingual Programs and Sports Academies? A: The government is only subsidizing transportation for students who go to their designated school, which is the school that is closest to their home that offers regular programming. Q: What if I can't afford my busing fees?A: Please meet or contact your school principal to discuss your circumstances and determine if you need an alternate payment plan or if you need your busing fees waived. Q: How do I know what my bus fees will be?A: The following table summarizes the transportation fees for Edmonton Catholic Schools students:

- Q: How are exosomes defined?
- Q: What are exosomes composed of?
- Q: What is the mechanism of exosome formation?
- Q: How do I know that I've isolated exosomes, and not other types of vesicles?
- Q: How are exosomes visualized and/or counted?
- Q: What is the best way to store my exosomes?
- Q: What should I do when my Westerns do not seem to work?
A: The current definition of exosomes is complex, with no absolute consensus in the field. Typically, exosomes are defined as vesicles floating in sucrose solutions at a density ~1.13 to 1.19 g/ml during ultracentrifugation-based isolation, with an expected size of 30-150 nm (based on electron microscopy analysis). Exosomes can also be defined and identified by their surface protein markers, which include: tetraspanins (CD63, CD81, CD9) and others like ALIX. Currently, there are no appropriate tools nor sufficient knowledge in the field to set a clear and simple definition of exosomes that would differentiate them from other micro-/nanovesicles.
Q: What are exosomes composed of?
A: Exosomes are tiny vesicles (30-150 nm) containing protein and/or RNA cargo, within a lipid bi-layer membrane. Exosomes can differ extensively in both their cargo and surface proteins, and different cell types can secrete different - sometimes multiple - types of exosomes.
Q: What is the mechanism of exosome formation?
A: Exosomes are classically described as vesicles originating from the endocytic pathway through fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane. They are a part of a larger family of vesicles secreted by cells - including microvesicles, ectosomes and shed particles - which originate by direct budding from the plasma membrane. It is extremely challenging to separate these entities using currently available techniques and instruments, due to overlap in their size, density and overall composition similarities.
Q: How do I know that I've isolated exosomes, and not other types of vesicles?
A: In addition to their 30-150 nm size, to be categorized as exosomes, the vesicles should be positive for certain surface protein markers such as tetraspanins. The most widely accepted marker is CD63, but CD81, CD9 are utilized as well. Western blotting for these targets on the sample of interest is a relatively simple way to confirm that the vesicles are indeed exosomes. However, the current definition of exosomes is not set in stone, as there is no absolute consensus in the field. It will probably take another several years to come up with the exact specification and nomenclature for all nano-/microvesicles (including exosomes).
Q: How are exosomes visualized and/or counted?
A: Exosomes are too small (30-150 nm) to be seen using a regular microscope, as this is limited to objects that are at least several micrometers in size. Structures as small as bacteria, and even very large viruses such as vaccinia virus (approx. 0.5µm in size), can be observed by light microscopy. Yet the resolution of the light microscope is too low for observing exosomes.
The typical methods of analysis for exosome size distribution include the NanoSight instrument and electron microscopy. Although very different in methodology, both technologies allow you to study nanoparticles down to 10 nanometers in size.
To determine the concentration of exosomes in the sample, you can use the NanoSight instrument or the Izon instrument. The NanoSight instrument enables counting and sizing of nanoparticles (10-1000 nm) using light scattering and browning motion, while the Izon instrument accomplishes the same thing using nanopore analysis.
Q: What is the best way to store my exosomes?
A: For short-term, exosomes can be stored at 4°C for up to 1 week. For long-term storage, exosomes can be stored at -20°C or -80°C. When storing exosomes long-term, it is important to consider if they will need to be thawed more than once. If multiple applications (and thus multiple thaws) is required for analysis, we recommend aliquoting the exosome suspensions into multiple tubes so that each tube will only undergo one freeze/thaw cycle. We have found that multiple freeze thaw cycles can cause damage to the exosomes and reduce their numbers.
Q: What should I do when my Westerns do not seem to work?
A: There are several typical reasons for this:
- Not enough sample volume added. Exosomes can contain a fairly low amount of protein cargo. For an initial experiment, we recommend adding as much of the sample as possible
- Antibodies are not optimal. We suggest testing antibodies (e.g. anti-CD63 or other exosomal marker) from 2-3 manufacturers, carefully checking what concentration is recommended. Also, they should ideally be used fresh, and need to be stored properly.
- Depending on the exosomal surface marker, certain gel conditions might be more optimal for the target antibody (e.g. reducing/non-reducing and denaturing/non-denaturing). We suggest checking with the manufacturer and exosome community about which conditions are recommended for the specific marker you are targeting and the specific antibody you are using.
- General Western techniques. Westerns can be tricky, and we recommend the use of a positive control for initial testing to make sure the entire workflow is functioning as it should. Any protein or antibody can be used as long as they meet the conditions you need (e.g. denaturing vs. non-denaturing). In addition, when picking the protein, try to steer clear of those that are present at very high or very low concentrations in your sample to prevent overloading the blot or total absence of signal.

Finish Season with Most Wins Since 2008
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Yale women's lacrosse team ended its season on high note on Saturday afternoon at Stevenson Field, topping Brown 10-8 and finishing with the team's best single-season win total since 2008. Freshman midfielder Nicole Daniggelis had a hat trick and senior attacker Devon Rhodes had two points as she finished her career ranked in Yale's top 15 in all three scoring categories (assists, goals and points).
This was the final career game for the Bulldogs' two seniors -- Rhodes, Yale's captain, and defender Adrianna Amendola.
"A lot of things came together today -- offense, defense and goaltending," said Anne Phillips, Yale's Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Lacrosse. "Following up on that tough loss to BU this past Wednesday when we nearly rallied from an eight-goal deficit but wound up losing by one, this was a great team effort. Overall, we really started to play at a different level as the season wore on. That's what happens when you have so many younger players playing and developing."
While neither team had a chance at the Ivy League playoffs, there was still plenty to play for on this sunny and warm Saturday afternoon. The Bears -- who pushed 2013 Ivy League champion Penn to overtime before losing last weekend -- were one win away from tying their program record for wins, while the Bulldogs were seeking a winning season.
Brown (9-6, 2-5 Ivy League) scored the game's first goal, but after that Yale (8-7, 2-5 Ivy League) gradually began taking control. After free position goals by Rhodes and Daniggelis gave Yale a 2-1 lead, the Bears would never have the lead again.
Brown did come back to tie the game on two occasions, starting with a free position goal by midfielder Abby Bunting that knotted the score at 2-2 at 15:31.
Shortly after that Daniggelis had a free position shot partially blocked, but Rhodes was perfectly positioned behind the cage. She caught the ball after it sailed over the crossbar and then immediately sent it back in front of the cage, where junior attacker Jen DeVito caught it and scored to make it 3-2 Yale at 13:08.
That wound up being the final point of Rhodes' career at Yale, as she ended up 12th on Yale's career points list (135), 13th on Yale's career goals list (101) and 15th on Yale's career assists list (34).
"She was my first recruit at Yale," said Phillips. "We struggled and had three losing seasons in her first three years. I'm proud of her for sticking with the program. She stepped up as a senior and really helped all of our younger players. She helped them realize they could change things. She also did a lot for them as far as confidence, and was great for team chemistry. She set the stage for the future of the program, and that's her legacy."
Brown tied the game again when a free position attempt enabled attacker Bre Hudgins to pass to attacker Danielle Mastro for a goal at 8:29.
But Yale scored the final three goals of the half, starting with the first career goal for freshman midfielder Tori Virtue. Virtue got wide-open in front of the cage and buried a feed from DeVito at 5:10.
Daniggelis extended the lead when she made Brown goalie Kellie Roddy pay for straying too far from the cage on a clear attempt. Daniggelis chased her down near the restraining line, stick-checked the ball away from her and scooped up the ground ball. Daniggelis was temporarily stopped by a Brown foul, but after the restart she took a few steps before firing in a long-distance shot with the net open and Roddy far out of position.
The Bulldogs kept up the offensive pressure as the half came to a close. With 20.6 seconds remaining, DeVito fed sophomore midfielder Erin Magnuson for catch-and shoot to make it 6-3 at halftime. DeVito and Rhodes would finish the day tied for third in the Ivy League with 16 assists each.
"We worked on assisted goals this week, because we knew that would be key against Brown based on the way they played," said Phillips.
The Bears reversed some first-half trends to make the second half interesting. After the Bulldogs won eight of 10 draw controls in the first half, Brown won eight of 10 in the second. And after Yale held a 15-6 advantage in shots in the first, Brown had a 20-8 advantage in the second.
The Bears scored three of the first four goals of the second, with Yale's lone tally coming when Daniggelis scored with the Bulldogs up a player after a yellow card on Brown midfielder Lindsay Minges.
After Brown closed to within 7-6 with 18:51 to play, Yale called timeout. That helped spur a 3-to-1 Bulldog run that put the game out of reach. First, sophomore midfielder Christina Doherty gave the Bulldogs some breathing room by firing in a low shot from the right side with 16:58 to play for her ninth goal of the year.
Doherty, a consistent contributor on draw controls and ground balls, was one of many players who stepped up offensively on Saturday to offset the loss of sophomore midfielder Cathryn Avallone, who missed her second straight game due to injury.
"Erin Magnuson stepped up and scored a couple goals with Cathryn Avallone out," said Phillips. "Tori Virtue scored a huge goal, and it was nice to see Christina Doherty score as well."
The Bulldogs played ball control as much as they could in the final minutes, but Brown still had plenty of scoring chances. That was where junior goalkeeper Erin McMullan came up big, making six of her seven saves for the game in the second half.
With 6:45 left McMullan made a nice save on a shot by midfielder Kasey Wagner, but could not control the ball as she ranged far out of the cage trying to chase it down. That gave Bunting a shot at an open net from about eight meters out, but her shot sailed inches over the crossbar.
The final minutes saw some more big saves by McMullan, including her denial of a point-blank shot by Hudgins with 3:30 left. But the Bears kept possession after that shot, and attacker Grace Healy scored with 3:21 remaining to make it 8-7 Yale.
The next draw control was crucial, and was only in doubt for a split second. After it flew high in the air, Doherty sprinted towards it and nabbed it cleanly. She and Daniggelis both finished the game with three draw controls.
The Bears then began pressuring out, with Roddy coming out of the goal, but the Bulldogs kept their composure. Magnuson evaded a double team and fired the ball into the empty net with 1:39 to play. That was her 19th goal and 25th point of the season, a dramatic increase as compared to her freshman year (six goals, eight points).
Brown got the ensuing draw control but turned the ball over, and eventually DeVito fed the ball to sophomore attacker Kerri Fleishhacker for another empty-net goal that made it 10-7 Yale with 43 seconds left. The Bulldogs finished the season with 159 goals, the 11th-best total in school history.
Yale then sent in a batch of subs, and Hudgins scored with 35 seconds remaining to pull Brown within two. But McMullan picked off a Bears pass with 20 seconds to play, snuffing out the final Brown threat.
"It wasn't that we didn't make mistakes today, but we limited them," said Phillips. "We only had 12 turnovers, and we were successful on 12 of 13 clears. Erin McMullan made some big saves, especially in the last five minutes."
McMullan finished the season with 99 saves, currently second in the Ivy League. There were plenty of other individual milestones for the Bulldogs as well. Daniggelis finished with the team lead in goals (39), edging out Rhodes (37). That was the most goals by a Yale freshman since Lauren Taylor '08 scored 47 in 2005. Daniggelis ended the day tied for second in the Ivy League in goals, while Rhodes was tied for third in the league in points (53).
Daniggelis also ended the season with a remarkable 76 draw controls; the previous Yale single-season record was 44 by All-American Miles Whitman '04 in 2004. That partially overshadowed another great season in that category by Doherty (35 draws, tied for seventh on Yale's single season list with Jenn Warden '09 from 2006). Doherty's 36 ground balls were the most by a Yale player in five years (Warden had 36 in 2008), and place her third in the league this season.
The Bulldogs also continued to make progress in the most important statistic of all: wins. Over the past three seasons they have gone up steadily from three wins to five wins to eight wins. Saturday's victory helped affirm many of the reasons for optimism as the team begins to turn its attention towards 2014.
"We're losing only one starter, and many of the returning players have seen significant action," said Phillips. "The future of the program is bright."

LETTER- Focus on facts, not rhetoric
As an environmental health scientist who closely tracks potential causes of autism, I completely support WINA's decision to drop Michael Savage over his ignorant comments about autism ["Savage sacked: WINA drops show over autism crack," July 31].
Freedom of the press is vital. But ignorant bloviating is something else. Why Charlottesville resident Linda McRaven would chime in here and amplify the ignorance is incomprehensible. She should become familiar with the science being debated about the causes of autism before advocating Savage's fact-free "throwing of bombs" because of ignorant fearlessness.
Let's focus on scientific facts, not rhetoric.

Mules kick off season by powering past Antonian
Alamo Heights senior outside hitter Sloan Evans said it's like having a million eyes on you, tracking your every move, swing and serve.
But that's the price the No. 7-ranked Mules (1-0) know they must endure if they expect to live up to the regional- and state-tournament aspirations.
Alamo Heights showed Monday that it might be more than adept at handling life in the spotlight, rallying past TAPPS power Antonian 25-21, 23-25, 25-23, 25-15.
"It's hard having expectations on you, because everyone's watching," said Evans, who finished with 14 kills and 22 digs. "But at the same time, it's cool. I've had people come up to me saying, 'I read about y'all in the paper.' We're all so excited for the season. Seeing that people expect us to do well really fires us up.''
If the newfound expectations weren't enough to do the trick, than staring at a season-opening loss definitely did.
Having just lost the second game, Alamo Heights quickly found itself in a deep hole in Game 3. Antonian, paced by the net play of Emily Boren, Astri Farber's serving, Claudia Hernandez's defense and Emilie Gilbert's setting raced out to a 19-9 advantage.
"Something had to be done; we were about to lose," said Alamo Heights senior middle blocker Jackie Cabello, who had five of her 12 kills in Game 3. "We have really high expectations this season, and we've been working so hard. We hold each other to really high expectations."
The Mules closed the frame with a 16-4 run, including a 7-1 spurt that got them within 20-16, before eventually pulling off the comeback.
"I try not to look at the score too much, but it's hard when it's straight in front of your face," Evans said. "It was, 'Let's go.' That's all I could think about. We were down by 10 points, and we came back. It just goes to show that if you put heart into it, you'll get something out of it.''
Alamo Heights secured the victory, overcoming an early 3-0 deficit behind the serving of Sarah Peoples, who had two aces during a 7-0 run. The Mules led by as much as 13 before winning on their fifth match point.

Hanson Extends On-Base Streak to Ivy League-Best 20 Straight Games Despite Losses
NEW YORK, N.Y. — The start of the Ivy League season did not fare well for the Yale University baseball team. The Bulldogs opened their Ivy portion of the schedule with a pair of losses, 3-1 and 3-0, at Columbia on Saturday at Robertson Field at Satow Stadium.
Yale falls to 6-15-1 overall with the losses, 0-2 in Ivy League play. Columbia improves to 8-13 overall, 2-0 in Ivy League play with the wins.
Yale sophomore shortstop Cale Hanson had a hit in each game, extending his consecutive games streak of reaching base to an Ivy League-best 20 straight games.
In Game 1, Columbia took advantage of a tough call that went against Yale in the third inning. The Lions used it to create a three-run rally that proved to be the difference in the game.
After Columbia's leadoff hitter, Aaron Silber, was retired on a groundout to the shortstop, Mike Fischer followed with an infield single that was initially ruled an out by the first base umpire after a stellar diving stop and throw across the diamond by Yale third baseman Chris Piwinski. Columbia head coach Brett Boretti questioned the call to the home plate umpire, who, after a discussion with the umpire at first base, overruled the initial call, ruling that Yale first baseman Kevin Fortunato had come off the first base bag despite an incredible stretch to make the play and hold the bag with his foot.
Instead of being the second out of the inning, the call reversal turned out to be the first of a string of four straight hits that led to the three runs in the inning. A two-run triple by Billy Rumpke and an RBI single by Dario Pizzano drove in the Lions runs.
Yale would attempt a comeback in the seventh inning after 10 straight Bulldogs were retired. Charlie Neil led off with a triple to left-center field. Fortunato produced a sacrifice fly to drive in Neil and cut the deficit to 3-1. After Joe Lubanski struck out, Piwinski then walked to bring the tying run to the plate. However, Hanson, who led off the game with a single, was retired to end the game on a line drive to center field.
Chris O'Hare (1-3) went the distance for Yale and took the loss. He went six innings, allowing seven hits with four strikeouts. David Toups went 2-for-3 for the Bulldogs.
Pat Lowery picked up the complete-game victory for the Lions, striking out 7 and walking just one batter.
In Game 2, Columbia scored single runs in the first, third and sixth innings to take a 3-0 win in nine innings. The Lions outhit the Bulldogs 10-6 in the game.
Columbia scored the first run of game in the first inning when Jon Eisen crossed the plate before Dario Pizzano was tagged out for the third out.
In the third inning, Pizzano doubled to drive in Silber with the second run of the game. On the play, Hanson took a relay on the outfield grass from left fielder David Toups and fired a strike to catcher Ryan Brenner, who tagged out Eisen at home plate for the final out of the inning.
Alex Black's RBI triple accounted for the third Columbia run of the game.
Columbia's Harrison Slutsky earned the save after working the final three innings and retiring all nine Yale batters that he faced with five strikeouts.
For Yale, Jacob Hunter went 2-for-4 while Brenner reached bases three times with a single, a hit-by-pitch and a walk.
Yale returns to action Sunday afternoon with a doubleheader at Penn.

Whether it's a phone call, an email, an ad, a fax, or a text message, con artists today utilize all of the outlets the 21st century offers to perpetrate fraud against us.

First Night: Families ring in the New Year
January 31, aka New Year's Eve, is typically a time of resolutions, kisses, a little bubbly, and a few other adult pastimes. In many towns, kids usually don't get a chance to have fun like the grown ups, but here in Charlottesville, they've found a way!
The 22nd annual First Night festival downtown went off without a hitch this year. It's been a while since I've participated in the action, and while some of the things appeared a little dull for a single mid-20s male, it certainly seemed like a great family event. Vendors on the Mall were selling noisemakers, goofy hats, and big flashing earring clips which even some adults were sporting.
Crowds enjoyed events ranging from Mr. Magic's Family Magic Show at the Jefferson Theater to skating at the Charlottesville Ice Park. The Mall bustled with throngs of cheery families and droves of teenyboppers. It's not often kids get to stay out late and not be bothered by curfew laws, and they were certainly living it up on the last night of the year.
At midnight on the clear and unseasonably warm evening, the crowd headed over to Lane Field for a mighty fireworks show. Though the code orange terror alert meant that police were highly visible, First Night provided another fun, happy way to welcome whatever the coming year has in store.
Skaters tried to stay upright.
Jamar Henderson, Mark Newman, Rita Ghartiy, James Gardener, and Erika Brown chilled outside the Jefferson Theater.
The 22nd First Night brought the crowds!
Joe Deacons tried to stay cheery with his joker hat.
The Free Union Farms Boys jammed out some good old fashioned bluegrass and country.
Mudhouse kept people awake and warm with tasty concoctions.

NCAA Game Night: 3-3-12
Vermont Catamounts 0 @ No. 1 Boston College Eagles 4
F Matt Marshall, UVM: Did not play (injured)
Season totals: 2 GP, 0-0-0, E, 2 PIM
And that's that. Vermont's season ended with a lopsided loss to the nation's top team. Marshall (pictured), a fifth round pick of the Bolts in 2007, will graduate this spring. Where his hockey career goes from here – if anywhere – is up in the air. The speedy winger known for his forechecking finishes his collegiate career with five goals and 14 points in 86 games. His career at Vermont was marred by injuries and frequent scratches. He was honored at senior night last weekend by the Catamounts, but was unable to play due to recovery from surgery.
Brown Bears 0 @ Quinnipiac Bobcats 3
ECAC First Round: Best of 3 series tied 1-1
F Matthew Peca, QU: 1-2-3, +1, 0 PIM, 8 SOG, *Third Star*
Season totals: 36 GP, 8-26-34, +2, 12 PIM
Friday night Brown came into Connecticut determined to show that just because they finished the season last in the conference didn't mean they had to lie down in the playoffs. Peca admitted to the media that his team was flat and looked tired. He did his part Saturday to remedy that as he led the team with eight shots on goal and tied for the team lead with three points as QU tied the best of three series 1-1. The Bobcats outshot the Bears 42-16. Game 3 is Sunday. Peca has now factored in on every Quinnipiac goal for the last four games – 10 goals (1-9-10). According to the Quinnipiac Chronicle, Peca's 26 assists are the third most for a Quinnipiac freshman in program history, while his 34 points are good for fourth all-time.

The Hope College Great Performance Series will present L.A. Theatre Works in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" on Tuesday-Wednesday, Feb. 19-20, at 7:30 p.m. in the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen's classic novel, LA Theatre Works brings its unique radio theatre to the Knickerbocker stage. L.A. Theatre Works has been the foremost radio theatre company in the United States for more than two decades.
"L.A. Theatre Works is a national theatrical treasure," "The Philadelphia Inquirer" has said, and the "Los Angeles Times" has praised the company's "consistently superb work."
The company's hybrid form of audio theatre and innovative use of technology keeps the venerable art form thriving, assuring wide and affordable access. L.A. Theatre Works's distinguished company of actors has included John Lithgow, Annette Benning, Hilary Swank, Anne Heche, Ed Asner, Alfred Molina, Paul Giamatti, Neil Patrick Harris, Laurence Fishurne, and Julie Harris, among hundreds of others.
Adapted for the stage by Hanreddy and Sullivan, Austen's novel, first published in 1813, explores manners and morals, relationships and disappointments, and parents and children. The romantic comedy follows the Bennets, a family with five daughters and a mother desperate to marry them off, and centers on the developing relationship between the witty, independent Elizabeth and the arrogant but honorable suitor, Mr. Darcy.
"The performance was fascinating," "The Washington Post" has said.
