COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado corrections chief Tom Clements and his wife were watching television when the doorbell rang last Tuesday night. Clements opened the door and was shot to death.
"My life was changed forever," Lisa Clements told hundreds of people, including corrections guards and officials from around the country, who gathered at a memorial service for her husband Monday.
Nearly a week after Clements' death, investigators in Colorado say the gun suspect Evan Ebel used in a shootout with authorities in Texas is the same one used to kill Clements. However, they don't know yet whether Ebel is the person who shot Clements, whether he acted alone and what motivated the slaying of a corrections' chief admired by prisoner advocates and prison guards alike. Authorities warned that could take some time.
Until investigators determine whether Ebel, paroled from Colorado's prison system, in January, acted alone, "it's hard to know what his role was," Lt. Jeff Kramer of the El Paso County Sheriff's Office told The Associated Press.
"He remains a suspect in our investigation, obviously, especially after receiving this confirmed link from Texas," he said.
No other suspects have been named.
Denver police suspect Ebel was involved in the killing of pizza deliveryman Nathan Leon. His body was found two days before Clements was killed.
Investigators also do not know whether the pizza box and Domino's Pizza shirt or jacket found in the car Ebel was driving when he was captured in Texas - similar to one spotted near Clements home - were used by the killer to persuade Clements to open the door of his home, Kramer said.
A federal law enforcement official says Ebel was a member of the 211 Crew, a white supremacist prison gang in Colorado.
Kramer said investigators are looking at who Ebel's associates were in prison and outside of prison.
At the memorial service at New Life Church, both Lisa Clements and Gov. John Hickenlooper spoke about Clements' strong belief in redemption. His family said he decided as a teenager to work in corrections after visiting his uncle in prison, and he worked to reduce the use of solitary confinement in Colorado prisons.
Standing with her two daughters, Lisa Clements, a psychologist who oversees Colorado's state mental health institutes, said her husband of 28 years would want justice as well as forgiveness.
"We want everyone who hears Tom's story to know that he lived his life believing in redemption, in the ability of the human heart to be changed. He would want justice certainly but moreover he'd want forgiveness. Our family prays for the family of the man who took Tom's life and we will pray for forgiveness in our own hearts and our own peace," she said.
Hickenlooper, who hired Clements about two years ago, told mourners that he was both pragmatic and principled.
"He had common sense and he had courage," Hickenlooper said.
Hickenlooper is a longtime friend of the suspect's father, attorney Jack Ebel, who testified two years ago before state lawmakers that solitary confinement was destroying his son's psyche.
Hickenlooper confirmed he mentioned the case to Clements as an example of why the prison system needed reform before the job was offered, but the governor said he did not mention Evan Ebel by name.
There was no indication that Hickenlooper's relationship with Jack Ebel played a role in the shooting. Hickenlooper said he did not having any role in Evan Ebel's parole in January.
Jack Ebel issued a statement offering condolences to all those who have suffered from his son's actions.
Clements, born in St. Louis, worked for 31 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections, both in prison and as a parole officer, before being hired in Colorado. He began a review of the state's solitary confinement system and eventually reduced the number of prisoners being held in solitary confinement. He closed a new prison built specifically to hold such prisoners - Colorado State Penitentiary II.

I remember so vividly bringing Audrey home from the hospital.
She had arrived six weeks before her due date (June 26, 1978… 30 years ago today!), on May 23. She spent a couple of days in the intensive care nursery, then graduated to the convalescent nursery, and then on to the regular nursery.
Audrey's journey home took 12 days, but I was sent home on day 8. As you can imagine, going home without my baby was just so difficult. My husband and I drove to the hospital for each feeding during those 4 long days… so her homecoming was such a celebration of health and happiness.
As I walked into my kitchen with my bundle of joy, I sat down to feed her in her home for the first time. But all I could focus on were the dust bunnies dancing (no, mocking me) under the kitchen sink. We had one of those big basin sinks with the exposed plumbing underneath… and the dust bunnies were multiplying as I stared.
I remember bursting into tears. Not joyful tears of having my Audrey home. Not postpartum tears. But tears of doesn't-my-husband-know-that-I-have-been-so-overwhelmed-with-missing-my-baby-and-recovering-from-my-c-section-that-he-should-have-known-enough-to-annihilate-the-dust-bunnies?
I knew I could care for my beautiful baby. I knew I could recover my health.
But those dust bunnies? Thinking of swiping them clean just pushed me over the edge.
So… ahem. I have been spending a lot of time at Audrey's home helping with her boys. The older two are just about perfect with the baby, but a baby is a baby and he needs to be watched at all times. Benjamin is only 14 months old, so he needs supervision with kissing and caring. And Audrey is recovering from a c-section… besides having a husband, a home, and 4 boys under 4!
This is a message to Daddy… and all daddies out there. Here are 4 things to remember about new babies:
1. load the dishwasher, often
2. clear the counters, often
3. toss a load of clothing into the washing machine and dryer… and FOLD it
4. attack the dust bunnies
These "new baby" necessities will be remembered for years. I am going out on a limb here… but these 4 things are probably more appreciated than rest, food and changing diaper duties.
Clean goes a long, long way, Daddies!
(a note to Mommies… have I left anything out!?)

The World Series had just ended the last time we were treated to a new episode of "Eastbound & Down," the HBO comedy about Kenny Powers, a washed-up former pitcher with an outsized ego and a filthy mouth that retained the speed his fastball lost.
With the All-Star break upon us, we're getting our Powers fix via the latest Web gem of an ad campaign featuring actor Danny McBride's fictional creation as a profane pitchman for a real product. We're not sure if the spots, for K-Swiss, are going to sell a lot of sneakers. But we're sold on Kenny Powers.
In a video that debuted this week on Funny or Die, Powers takes over the sportswear company and declares himself the "MFCEO" (no need to explain that acronym if you've ever seen "Eastbound & Down"). "I'm changing the sports world. I'm changing the business world. I'm even changing the goddamn world world," Powers declares in one of his few utterances barely fit for a family audience.
The short features cameos by "The Biggest Loser" trainer Jillian Michaels, wrestler Rey Mysterio and quarterback Matt Cassell, all recruited by Powers as his corporate staff. He tries to convince Mark Cuban to renamed the Dallas Mavericks the Dallas K-Swiss Tubes and pitches Michael Bay a movie starring him as an anatomically correct Transformer.
The ad is a clever takeoff on celebrity – particularly athlete – endorsements at a time when, as Tiger Woods learned the hard way, a clean image still matters. But even Charles Barkley, who never wanted to be a role model, would cringe at Powers.
We're getting the cartoon version of the character in the videos, which include mock ads for a Powers cologne ("Don't smell like s---. Smell like THE s---). "Eastbound & Down," expected to return for a third and final season, is more nuanced. Sure, the laughs primarily come from Powers' self-destructive behavior, driven by delusions of grandeur. But McBride has deftly blended some sad soul into a man desperately trying to glue together the shards of his shattered psyche. We've seen Powers go from a disastrous return to his hometown, where he wrecked his few remaining meaningful relationships, to living low in Mexico, where he began to what just might be his return to the big leagues.
While we wait for his comeback – to HBO and baseball – check out an extremely NSFW video that shows the Powers of advertising:

Snapping turtle beaten on Delavan golf course
Female reptile was struck 4-5 times with golf club
Officials from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources are looking for information about a turtle that was beaten at a Delavan golf course.
A warden said someone, likely a golfer, struck the female snapping turtle with an iron club at least four times at Delbrook Course. One of the blows was delivered to the turtle's head.
Jeannie Lord, who has worked in wildlife rescue for 33 years, has never seen a turtle treated like this.
"Oh my God," she said. "We see vehicular trauma and we deal with that, but those are accidents."
Lord said at least one of the blows broke the turtle's shell.
"Heartless, mindless, evil action," she said. "You have a visceral reaction to this."
Lord said the turtle was brought from Walworth County to Fredonia because the facility specializes in reptile rescues.
And this reptile need extra help, as she is expecting.
"We're not talking about one life, we're talking about 30," she said. "These species are compromised to begin with. They're in a volatile position, globally.
DNR wardens believe the incident took place Monday morning between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
The Global Conservation Group of Watertown is offering a $1,000 reward. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the DNR tipline at 800-847-9367.

Comcast Hijacks Mac Firefox Users' Homepage; Offers Blame Game And Faux Apology In Return
from the operators-are-standing-by-to-apologize deptAs an internet user, chances are you'd like to set your own home page. However, if you're using Comcast's internet service and Firefox, Comcast won't let you do it. Krebs on Security reports that Comcast's Xfinity software (installed by techs with new accounts) actively hijacks user preferences, redirecting them to Comcast's home page:
The software is unfriendly to Mac users running Firefox: It changes the browser's homepage to comcast.net, and blocks users from changing it to anything else.Trust me, nothing makes your users happier than the feeling that they no longer control their interaction with the internet. It goes further than that, though. The Xfinity software has also been spotted redirecting searches. This gives new users a chance to enjoy that "new internet smell," while simultaneously worrying that they've picked up some malware right out of the box. Not only that, but this so-called "necessary" software isn't actually necessary.
I heard this from a friend who'd just signed up for Comcast's Xfinity high-speed Internet service and soon discovered some behavior on his Mac that is akin to Windows malware - something had hijacked his Internet settings. The technician who arrived to turn on the service said that a software package from Comcast was necessary to complete the installation. My friend later discovered that his homepage had been changed to comcast.net, and that Comcast software had modified his Firefox profile so that there was no way to change the homepage setting.
While Comcast may be concerned about Xfinity's inability to play nice with Firefox, this just seems like a bad idea all around. When your software mimics the behavior of malware, you've failed. Of course, Comcast wants to make things right, which is why they first blamed it on Mozilla:
I contacted Comcast; they initially blamed the problem on a bug in Firefox. Mozilla denies this, and says it's Comcast's doing.Oh. Snap. Come on, Comcast. Level with us:
"This is NOT a Firefox bug or issue," a Mozilla spokesperson wrote in an email. "It is a Comcast method that applies preference changes to Firefox."
Comcast spokesman Charlie Douglas acknowledged that the Xfinity software hijacks Firefox's settings. He said the problem is limited to Mac users, and that permanency of the change was unintentional. He added that the company is in the process of correcting the installation software.Cool story, bro. There are several things I find dubious about this statement ("unintentional?"), but nothing is more shady than the phrase "obviously apologizing." Either you apologize or you don't, but stop acting like it's a foregone conclusion. Unless you've got your customer service team calling up affected users and apologizing for the inconvenience and offering a fix, then you're not "obviously apologizing." Obvious apologies don't need to be pointed out, especially in the past tense and even more especially after first laying the blame at the feet of Mozilla.
"Customers absolutely should be able to change their preferred homepage anytime," Douglas said. "We're obviously apologizing for any inconvenience we've caused Mac users."
Not that anyone would expect anything more from Comcast. In fact, they still haven't offered an official fix, but other presumably pissed off users have already found a workaround. When you leave it to your customers to fix your purposely broken (and "necessary") software, you're just further damaging your already in-tatters reputation.

Physics set to roll in Wales
23 April 2013
Three thousand students are set to benefit when a unique science project rolls into the country. The Welsh Government-funded visit by the 'Lab in a Lorry' will begin in Swansea, on Tuesday 23 to Thursday 25 April 2013, before it embarks on a three month tour of Welsh schools.
The mobile physics lab for young people, run by the Institute of Physics (IOP), is designed to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers, offering 11-14 year olds the opportunity to explore science through specially created interactive experiments.
The experiments on board the lorry involve using the properties of light to diagnose sick patients, using sound waves to smash wine glasses, and scattering light to understand why the sky is blue. The key concepts behind the experiments will be illustrated with examples from everyday life and cutting-edge research.
The Lorry's visit to Wales is sponsored by the inaugural competitive National Science Academy Grant Scheme from the Welsh Government.
James Bamford, Lab in a Lorry coordinator in Wales, said, "The tour is set to be a huge success. Lab in a Lorry is a fantastic experience for young people. It generates excitement and curiosity in science by letting them explores experimental science for themselves with the help of expert mentors."
Staffed by volunteers – all practising scientists and engineers and often provided by STEMNET – the 44 ft lorry is one of two labs that have been visiting schools free-of-charge across the UK and Ireland since early 2005.
Edwina Hart, Minister for Economy, Science and Transport, said: "The Welsh Government is pleased to support this very innovative project that is designed to make science exciting and fun, as well as highly relevant. Hundreds of pupils in Wales will benefit by taking part in the experiments on the Lorry and we hope it will encourage many students to pursue STEM subjects in the future."
Professor Sir Peter Knight, President of IOP, said, "School students across Wales are in for a real treat. The experience has been designed to give students a real taste of just how exciting experimental science can be."
Schools can request a visit from Lab in a Lorry through the website www.labinalorry.org.uk which also contains information on how to become a volunteer.
Lab in a Lorry is actively recruiting additional partners to ensure the programme expands and continues to be a free experience for all. For more information on partnerships, please visit the Lab in a Lorry website.

Farfalle with Shrimp, Zucchini, and Lemon
I'm fascinated by the pasta recipes in Urban Italian. The combinations just sound good and not too crazy complicated. I read them thinking, "Hmm... I should make this for dinner tonight." And so here we have a one-pot meal perfect for putting together at the last minute. Using shrimp, the ultimate quick-cook protein, all you need are 30 minutes and hungry guests. The successive hits of lemon juice, butter, parsley, and breadcrumbs at the end also really elevate this dish to the next level.
What's New On Serious Eats
- Yield:4 to 6
- 1 1/2 pounds rock shrimp (or peeled and deveined tiger shrimp, split in half from head to tail)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- A pinch of salt and coarse-ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 medium zucchini, halved and thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups basic tomato sauce
- 1 pound dried farfalle pasta
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
Put a large pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta.
Pat the shrimp with a paper towel to remove excess liquid.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over high heat. Throw in the shrimp and cook for 2 minute, flipping the shrimp in the pan or stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking. Season with the salt and pepper.
Add the red pepper flakes, thyme, rosemary, zucchini, and garlic. Saute everything together for about 1 minute, until the zucchini has just started to cook.
Add the tomato sauce and cook together another 3 minutes or so. At this point, the flavors should be combined, the zucchini should be a bit translucent but still have some crunch to it, and the shrimp should be opaque and should pop between your teeth. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente. (Follow the directions on the box, subtracting 1 minute from the cooking time; be sure to test a couple of pieces in the last 2 minutes of cooking to avoid mushiness.)
Drain the pasta well and return it to the pot, with the heat off. Add the shrimp and sauce, straight from the saucepan, and combine well.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the pasta, and add the butter and the parsley.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top. Serve immediately.

The weather here has been somewhat nicer with sunny intervals and warmer days, looks like spring has arrived and summer is a short distance away (can't wait for BBQ's, lunching and dining al fresco in my garden). So in celebration of spring I decided to bake up a cake and decorate it with pastel coloured flowers. This Chocolate and Apple Cake recipe was kindly passed on to me by a lady who owned her own bakery, and it was a favourite with the local school girls, so much so that on some days they had to bake over 5 of these cakes to keep up with the popular demands. I can totally see why this cake would have been such a hit, my son and his friends all love it and so does the hubby. The sponge is beautifully moist due to the grated apple and the buttercream icing is heavenly. A "must bake" for any true chocoholic!
Chocolate Apple Cake
250g (9oz) Plain Flour
25g (1oz ) Cocoa
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Bicarbonate of soda
100g ( 4oz ) Butter
250g ( 9oz ) Caster Sugar
2 Eggs
A few drops of Vanilla Extract
175 ml. (6fl oz) Milk
2 Cooking Apples or Eating Apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped or grated
450g (1lb ) Icing sugar, sifted
25g ( 1oz ) Cocoa
50g ( 2oz ) Butter, softened
90ml. ( 3fl oz ) Milk
Preheat oven to 180/350F/Gas 4. Grease a 20cm ( 8 in ) square cake tin.Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarb. Put the sugar and butter into a bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla extract. Whisk in the flour mixture and lastly add the chopped apples and milk. Spoon into tin and bake for 1 hour or till cooked..When cake is cold, make icing by beating all ingredients together, spread over cake and make a swirly pattern and pop on some chocolate drops.
Serves: 12

Happy Tuesday!
Today I am reviewing Lush's Ickle Baby Bot bath bomb.
You can purchase it here for only $3.95.
I can't really pin point what I thought the smell was but on Lush's website it is described as:
"Ickle Baby Bot has been designed to mesmerize the senses with ray guns of lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood."
I don't have anything really exciting to say about this particular bath bomb. I've been wanting to try it for quite some time now so I finally just bought it. I'm happy I did but probably wouldn't repurchase it. I thought it smelt good but didn't make my skin super soft like the rest of the bath bomb's I've tried.
When we were in Philly for the Philadelphia Eagles game I also picked up two more items which I haven't used yet. But when I do I will review them.
The video below is of Lush Cosmetic's Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb.
Have a great night!

Will the car stereo recognize an M3U playlist that I downloaded to my portable player?
The MPEG Audio Layer 3 Uniform Resource Locator (M3U) is a playlist of data text files that only contain information leading to the location of an MP3 file.
Since the playlist does not contain actual audio files, this model of car stereo receiver does not have the ability to recognize and/or play MPEG M3U playlist files.

Tattoo Tuesday V.109
Name and blog name: Sammi Sadler- 280213.blogspot.com
Age: 24
Occupation: Account & retail Manager at Miss L Fire and Shellys - Shoes!
Age of first tattoo: Too young!
Favorite tattoo: I honestly don't have a favourite! I love them all for different reasons.
Featured tattoo/location: My locket chest piece; with lots of flowers.
Artist/shop/location of featured tattoo: Aimée Lou (one of my best friends, too!) at Bespoke Tattoo in Guildford, Surrey, U.K! Check out her Facebook page and be sure to give her a 'Like' - or even better, go get tattooed by her!
1) Tell us about your featured tattoo- is there a background story about why you chose it, or maybe a special meaning?
Going back a few years, I didn't think I would ever want a chest piece! It was one of those decisions that many people go through when you slowly accumulate more and more tattoos - do I want to have more visible work? I guess I decided to go for it, and I love how my chest piece turned out. I knew I wanted it to have a lot of detail, whilst not being too overcrowded- Aimée's work is often intricate and I adore that aspect of it. I wanted to keep it feminine, colourful and not too personal. I decided on a locket and flowers; both have great aesthetic appeal for me and I knew it would remain super colourful, and something I could smile at when I look in the mirror! After all, it remains the biggest single piece I have and the one I look at the most!
2) Do you have any other tattoos? If so, what do you have and where?
I do indeed! I currently have: one full sleeve with a ship at sea, anchor, teacup, winged locket, lilies, stars, crown with 'Keep Calm And Carry On'' (my British statement!) perfume bottle, and hourglass. I have a woodland half sleeve in progress on my right arm - currently with a deer couple, roses, fox and rabbit. On the bottom of my right arm, I have a lollipop and a pink and green ice cream cone!
I have script across my thighs that reads 'When it rains, it pours', a cute carousel horse on my right upper thigh, traditional rose on my left knee-cap, peacock on my left shin, hot air balloon on the side of my left leg, pin-up girl on my left calf, swallows on my feet, cat tattoo (dedicated to one of my cats, Biscuit - he is dressed up as a Victorian gent! This isn't complete yet) on my right shin, couple in a ships' wheel on my right ankle, 'Everything will be OK' on the sides of my hands, and some teeny tiny things on my fingers (key, heart, anchor etc).
3) Do you plan on getting more?
For sure! I have a lot of appointments already booked in with Aimée for the year ahead.
4) How do your family and friends feel about your tattoo(s)? Have you run into any adversity or negativity because of them? Do you have a significant other? Does he/she have tattoos?
My family vary in their opinions, but I must say the general view is that they don't like them. My dad in particular cannot stand them, and thinks they can only make a person look worse! However, I am very, very close to my dad and he honestly means the world to me, so I hope this never, ever gets in the way of our relationship. My fiancee, Anton, loves them! He has a number of tattoos and he really wants more - he works in a more corporate environment so has to be a little more careful than I do. He loves my tattoos, too, which is awesome!
Yes, I have run into a lot of negativity. Most of the time, I find people in England mainly give me evil glares, or look me up and down in a rather condescending manner (it drives me mental!). I try not to get too wound up though - at the end of the day, I totally understand why people don't like tattoos...I just don't like being judged for being a tattooed person. I'm a decent human being, I promise!
5) What's the most interesting experience you've ever had in regards to your tattoos?
This is a very difficult question! There have been a lot of random, fun, weird and horrible experiences due to having them...
I was once with some friends going to the Royal Courts of Justice (in London, a bit of culture!) and I was questioned by a security guard working there, as we was certain he recognised me. I informed him I was positive that I didn't know him, and then he came to the conclusion that I was definitely a Suicide Girl and was rather chuffed with himself...Hmm! (I'm not, by the way).
I guess the best experiences I've had are making awesome friends due to the tattoo 'affiliation'. I'm not saying I only have tattooed friends, far from it in fact, but I've met some lovely people through it all!
6) Any advice for those interested in getting tattooed but haven't gotten one yet?
- Find a great artist! This really goes without saying.
- Make sure you can live with whatever you decide to get tattooed on you.
- Understand that your day to day life may not be as easy if you plan on having a lot of work - summer makes things a lot harder for me! Sometimes I really don't give a crap about the evil stares, rude comments or even positive interest, but other days I really, really want to be left alone and I'm not at all in the mood to talk to strangers. Just be prepared for this.
- As well as eating a decent, full meal before your appointment, I recommend taking a good, sugary snack with you when you get tattooed as well.
- Drink plenty of water when you are getting tattooed!
- Enjoy your artwork - I love being tattooed, I love tattoos and I wouldn't be without them for all the tea in China!

Welcome to the Land of the Storms!
It is my pleasure to be the guidance counselor for fifth-graders in the Russellville school system. My name is Mary Ann Baker and I'm proud to say I'm a hometown girl and a RHS graduate - class of '76. I received a B.A. in Religious Education from CBC in Springfield, MO, in 1980. I returned to ATU for a B.S. in Elementary Education in 1981. My first job was teaching fifth-grade at Crawford Elementary while I was working as a Christian Education/Children's Church director for local churches. I received a M.S. in Early Childhood in 1983, and then went on to certify in elementary guidance at UCA in Conway and became National Board Certified in 2012.
I'm one of the first elementary counselors hired when Russellville started the elementary counselor program in the 80's. I worked as a counselor at London, Oakland, part-time at Dwight and Center Valley, and worked over 20 years at the greatest school ever, RIS (formerly uE5g)!
We send home over 80 food backpacks weekly. Thanksgiving meals are provided as well as Christmas blessings to meet the needs of our families with food scarcities.
"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all." – Aristotle. We hope you will find that fifth grade is a house of learning. If we are to become the person we are meant to be, emotional literacy (social & emotional learning) must be considered. Knowledge is not enough to create productive individuals, they must also have social skills. We not only reach the brains, but the hearts of our children. Therefore, we must address the whole child. The guidance program is multi-faceted, and the guidance curriculum covers the mindsets and behaviors for student success from the American School Counseling Association scope and sequence. We have classroom guidance with 40 minute lessons at least twice a month.
Assessment is an important part of the educational process. I coordinate all standardized testing for the building. Fifth grade students are given a standardized assessment in the spring and all ELL students (English Language Learners) will be given a test to assess their language development.
I serve as parent facilitator and produce our yearbook.

President Barack Obama held a press conference today on gun violence and how his administration plans to fight it.
One of his 23 executive orders, which he signed today, direct the Center for Disease Control to study the causes of violent behavior. That includes looking into violent media like movies, television, and video games.
"We don't benefit from ignorance. We don't benefit from not knowing the science of this epidemic of violence." Obama said. "Congress should fund research into the effects violent video games have on young minds."
The specific order reads as follows: "Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence."
These executive orders, where the president uses his power to enforce laws and to make policy changes, come from a national desire to combat gun violence after a string of mass murders, like the one at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
"As important as these steps are, they are in no way a substitute for action from Congress," Obama said.
The president wants Congress to allocate $10 million toward the study of violent media.
The president then called on the U.S. representative bodies to pass a bill that would require universal background checks on firearm purchases, a limit on assault weapons, and a 10-round maximum on ammo magazines.
Last week, Vice President Joe Biden met with executives, researchers, and representatives from the gaming industry as part of a series of summits to figure out solutions to gun violence. At that meeting, Biden told Electronic Art's chief executive officer John Riccitiello that he has made no judgment about video games and that the president just wanted to get all of the research.
Obama's press conference focused primarily on gun control. The president made no move to ban, censor, or limit video games in any way, although he did not mention whether he would take the Entertainment Software Association's advice and simultaneously research the benefits of games while looking for their negative effects.
In June 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that video games are protected speech. This would make any legislation that would limit games unconstitutional. This puts the burden of proof on those who claim games cause violent or criminal outbursts.
Also in June 2011, Obama penned an opinion piece for People Magazine in which he said: "Every father can encourage his child to turn off the video games and pick up a book; to study hard and stay in school."
Many gamers took that as a bit of an insult, but in February, the White House began studying the positive effects of video games. The administration hired Dr. Constance Steinkuehler, a video game researcher, to shape its policy on games that improve health, education, civic engagement, and the environment.

Screenplay by Moon Hee-jeong (문희정)MBC | Airing dates : 2006/07/29~2006/09/24
Alternative title "Daring Housewives"
As the title suggests, this drama is a frank and delightful story about the happiness women dream of, and the outrageous imagination hidden underneath. The series embarks with the intention to present realistic characters venturing to challenge their realities.
Together with the clear belief that The greatest success in life that we are pursuing is happiness, this drama series narrates the stories of four women, racing towards happiness they have each defined in their own way. On this journey, they sometimes miss a step and loose their way, but rather than meeting their end, they search for and find a new starting line in the race for happiness.
This series endeavors to provide new hopes for tomorrow to housewives in despair.
Song Mi-ju (Yoo, Ho-jeong) Dentist. Divorced but cute. Queen of breaking the rules
Possesses uncommon self-will and stubbornness, combined with the flexibility to ignore what other people say. Being hearty, kind and honest, and never a person to carry a grudge, she is coolness itself. Hot-tempered but has a soft heart, and cannot endure injustice.
At the tender age of 20 she marries her first love Jeong Seok. At 23, she gives birth to a son who looks exactly like him. But at age 29, her husband falls for the dentist he visited to pull out a wisdom tooth, and is ditched along with the rotten tooth. She then leaves for the United States with her son, where she takes on any job she can find to make ends meet. She endures all sorts of difficulties to finally become a dentist.
If you ask her the reason for her newfound profession, her response is always No comment!
During the ten years of living alone, she had to take care of all kinds of household chores such as changing light bulbs, fixing the pipes, mending fences, and repairing electronic products, allowing her to master skills comparable to that of female MacGyver. However, theres much to be said about her cooking, and as for cleaning, she feels uneasy if the house is too clean.
Raising her young son alone, she has forgotten how to cry, and has developed a nerve that is not to easily deterred. She has acquired her own way of living alone such as jogging to release stress and drinking wine to solve sleepless nights. But she cannot seem to cure the pent-up rage she feels for Jeong Seok that flares up suddenly.
One day, her sixteen-year old son declares his independence, and she climbs on the airplane headed back to Korea. Her goal? To take revenge on Jeong Seok!
She approaches Jeong Seoks new wife, and manages to get herself scouted to her hospital. She even moves into the house next-door to her ex demonstrating a carefully planned scheme for her revenge.
However, because of her easy character, Mi-ju cant stop herself from making stupid mistakes, and being an affectionate person, she could never be cruel. On top of that she meets this picky guy nicknamed Rookie, who stimulates her compassion that cannot bare to see others go hungry even when her own plate is empty. Plotting revenge on Jeong Seok, and quarrelling with Rookie, Mi-jus life has certainly become hectic.
The wound Jeong Seoks infidelity has inflicted on her was not the label of being a divorced woman, but the wall she has built around her heart that prevents her from loving another man lest she be hurt again. The love battle with Rookie, which brings down this wall, is ever so noisy. Eye for an eye! Tooth for a tooth! Thats what she declares to her ex, but she ends up protecting his second marriage. Song Mi-ju, she is too cute to be 39 years old!
Ko Sang-mi (Sa Kang) Dedicated, full-time housewife with a dual mask. Queen of feigning innocence!
On the outside she is packaged as the perfect wife possessing grace, charms and affection while excelling in housework, and assisting her husband. But when you look closer, being a natural empty-headed beauty, she is treated like a maid by her husband.
In school, she had no talent for studies but firmly believing that the girl with good grades can never stand up against the girl with good looks, and the girl with gook looks can never stand up against the girl with good fortune, she worked hard to take care of her appearance to become that girl with good looks.
Fortunately, thanks to her attractive appearance, the first year that she moved to Seoul City, she meets Ji-hwan while working part-time as a party planner for a catering company. She marries Ji-hwan, and becomes the girl with good fortune envied by people around her.
In a flash Sang-mi has climbed up the social ladder through the marriage she dreamed of. Her heart ached when she thought about her parents in the country who have stopped all contacts with her, only praying for their daughters happiness. So she tries hard to be content, telling herself she has realized her dreams of living as a good wife
Now, small lies such as lying about her education has become second nature to her, but her inferiority complex she feels towards her husband because of differences in their education and cultural background always makes her anxious that her ignorance will be revealed.
Did someone say good cooks keep their husbands heart? Well, wearing a white apron, she wanted to become a pioneer who will lead her tired husband to the dining table, but instead she is living as a well-trained housemaid. As time passes, there is hardly any communication with her husband, let alone any sex, and her secret worries that she cant share with anyone just becomes bigger and bigger. She has long passed using housework, interior decorating, cooking and cleaning as a way of releasing stress. Now she has become addicted to internet card playing, on-line chatting, stealing and even alcohol, displaying near-professional skills in all these areas.
Sang-mi insists she naturally does not gain weight no matter how much she eats. But her secret diet know-how is gorging herself with food and throwing up. She has symptoms of depression but maintains her outer appearance of a happy housewife, living the life of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
She loves children, so she sometimes looks after Eun-yeongs daughter, Hana, passionately desiring to have a child of her own. However, even though she has been married for eight years, she is still childless, making her feel even more inadequate. As years pass, her urgency for a child grows stronger, but her husband is not at all co-operative making her suspect that he is having an affair.
Her mother-in-law adds to her stress of infertility by bringing her oriental medicine and making her try out all sorts of folk remedies. And there is her sister-in-law who subtly looks down on her. They all make her feel even more suffocated.
Having no one to empty her heart out to, she feels she will die of suffocation. Every time she feels like this, she runs to fortunetellers to gain solace. Blindly depending on these fortunetellers, she wastes all her money on paying for charms such as one for getting pregnant, one for preventing her husbands infidelity and so on.
Then her mother-in-law finds out about her alcohol dependency and on-line chatting, and she is pushed to the point of being divorced. But thanks to her friendship with Mi-ju who understands her position better than anyone else, she realizes the emptiness of her life focused on feigning happiness.
Thanks to her unexpected pregnancy, the situation overturns, but her heart struggles between divorce and finding herself. She chooses to pursue life that will allow her to become happy, not a life that looks happy to others, and decides to protect her marriage.
Yang Da-rim (Oh Ju-eun) Majored in cello. Presently unemployed. Master of attracting men. Queen of eye-pitching! (Eye-pitching is a skill for attracting men. When you raise one eye slightly, men will kneel right before you)
She packages herself with an air of innocence and gingerly way of talking, but her true self is that of narcissism centered on conceit, looking pretty and acting like the new generation.
Lying comes so natural to her that at times she cant distinguish between her lies and truths. Just like an eight-color bird, she combines qualities of innocence, sexual appeal and certain cuteness making her a master of attracting men.
She pretends to be the ultimate realist, but the truth is that she is like any other woman dreaming of true romance.
Since she dispises women who undergo plastic surgery, she has never put a knife to her face, but she has received all sorts of diet injections, and with her skin showing initial stages of aging, she is dedicating herself to skincare.
She is not desperate to get married because of her age. No, she has dreamed of becoming the perfect wife ever since childhood. She majored in music because that is class A qualification for getting a good catch, and if the college she attended is third class, thats not important because marriage doesnt depend on school grades. Thanks to her naturally innocent and frail appearance and personal charms, she has first class potential in the marriage market. Of the 100 arranged marriage introductions she attended, she prides herself on never having been jilted, not even once.
She believes that she can get married right now if she wants to but is waiting for the love of her life with whom she can live happily until they get old.
She has been seeing Rookie, a professional baseball player, for about a year. Possessing star potential, he is the guy she has been going out with the longest. But there is always that 1% something that is lacking. Then through one of the arranged marriage introductions, she meets Baek Eok-nyeon, who has just passed the bar exam. She dangerously balances her relationship with the two men, but with the appearance of unexpected rival Mi-ju, realizes Rookie is the one she loves.
She mobilizes all means to separate Rookie and Mi-ju, but this divorced, older woman is not an easy competition. She boldly ends her relationship with Eok-nyeon to win over Rookie, but whenever she feels distressed, she leans on the former for consolation. Then she finds herself treating Eok-nyeon with sincere feelings, rather than simply thinking of him as someone to turn her charms on. She feels comfortable with this guy who accepts her disheveled appearance, and even her tantrums. Not realizing that this feeling for him is true love, she continues to cling to Rookie until Eok-nyeon leaves her. She finally realizes that the way to a mans heart is not through the skills of pitching her eyes, but through sincerity. With a new heart and outlook on life, she goes out to another arranged marriage meeting where she meets her true love, Baek Eok-nyeon.
Seon-wu Eun-yeong (Iim Ji-eun) - Dentist. Head of a small hospital. Master of charms. Queen with the thickest skin!
Selfish, pretentious and greedy, she never rests until she gets everything she wants. Audacious and sharp-tongued, anyone can tell that she has been spoiled never thinking about other peoples feelings. Her alluring smiles and charming talk are the weapons for melting her husbands heart.
She seems easily influenced by others, but at the decisive moment her selfishness takes over. She can only be happy when things go her way. Even though she pretends to be otherwise, she maintains her looks with continuous plastic surgery and dieting.
Having stolen another womans man, she is always suspicious of her husband who was so unfaithful to his first wife. But in the end she is the one who has a secret affair with her husbands older school buddy.
She befriends Mi-ju at a dental seminar, and scouts her to her hospital, even finding her a home right next-door. But when she finds out that Mi-ju is her husbands ex-wife her attitude changes completely, and without even giving a thought to her past sins, she accuses Mi-ju of being a husband snatcher. True to her blind hot temper, she takes out her anger on tormenting her husband and Mi-ju.
However, if indulgence can be given to this apparent villainess, its her sincere love for her husband. Because of Mi-jus revenge, which starts about the time she ends her secret affair with her husbands friend, her marriage hits the rocks but she wages a fierce battle to protect her marriage and keep her husband. In the process she realizes the simple principle of life that if you make someone else shed tears, you yourself will shed tears of blood.
Hating to loose while loving her husband sincerely, enables her to gain victory in the end, but the joys of winning is so very bitter.
Jeong Seok (Cheng Woong-in) - Department Head of Plastic Surgery Eun-Yeongs present husband and Mi-jus ex-husband
Cowardly and indecisive. Possesses a menial attitude of being weak over the strong and strong over the weak. He chooses love over his wife and child but life with Eun-yeong is not much better.
Having a working wife, he has to share housework and child-raising, so daily life is exhausting for him. He sometimes misses the old times when he bossed over his ex-wife, but has no wishes to go back to her. He wants to be known as a devoted husband, but the truth is he is more of a hen-pecked one.
He is taken back and is afraid of Mi-jus sudden appearance, but soon after his fatherly love is rekindled when he sees his son.
Having lost the right timing to tell his wife that Mi-ju is his first wife, he lives in constant fear until the truth is revealed. He suffers at the hands of his present wife, but finds out about her infidelity, and rages over his wifes betrayal. Through Eun-yeong, he gets back all the pain and hurt that he inflicted on Mi-ju. He apologizes to Mi-ju with all his heart, and decides to go back to her. However, Mi-ju advises him not to break another family, and so he stays with Eun-yeong.
Rookie. Real Name: Jang Wu-jin (Lee Ki-woo) - Professional baseball player. Pitcher turned batter
Bright and playful, he is honest, simple and never conniving. He seldom becomes angry but better watch out if you hurt his pride.
Possessing a very strong will to win he will not rest until he does even if its something trivial like a computer game. But he is big-hearted about major issues in life, making him truly a man among men. Being an orphan, he managed to maintain his positive despoition thanks to baseball.
His career sped along through high school, college and as a professional player winning him the Best Rookie Award. However, only throwing straight balls just like his personality, he falls into a long slump.
Believing it to be his last opportunity he endures rigorous training and masters diverse pitching styles, making a successful comeback. With his advancement into the US major league right in front of him, he hurts his shoulders during a game and his dreams are shattered. Believing that 32 is too old an age to start again, he gives up baseball and joins the rank of unemployed.
Witnessing his girlfriend Da-rims infidelity, he declares his break-up with her. But she is the first woman that he has ever had a serious relationship with, and its not easy to stop her from controlling him.
Not understanding women, having a relationship is difficult for Rookie.

However, because of his managers one-sided decision, he ends up renting out his house.
His tenant is Mi-ju, and while quarrelling and fighting with each other, he falls in love, and finds his hidden wounds and painful memories of being deserted by his parents, healing. He realizes his love for baseball cannot be ignored, and puts on his baseball gloves again.

Episode 17
After finding out that Jun (Kim Beom) is Jeong Seoks (Cheng Woon-in) son, Eun-yeong (Iim Ji-eun) is outraged that Mi-ju (Yoo Ho-jung) and her husband had deceived her all this time, but pretends to know nothing. While playing around the Hangang River, Jun gets hurt trying to protect Hana. Jeong Seok panics and starts running while carrying Jun on his back. Eun-yeong angrily asks if startled Hana is invisible to him, and tells him to get out of her sight.
Not even dreaming that Eun-yeong might be aware that Jun is his son, Jeong Seok becomes angry at Eun-yeongs attitude. But when his wife asks him Does your heart hurt because hes your child? he is shocked to realize Eun-yeong knows everything.
Jeong Seok tries to justify himself, saying that he wanted to tell her, that he hadnt meant to lie to her. However, Eun-yeong just shouts whether Jun knows anything about this, and threatens to tell Jun everything. Half crying, Jun pleads with her not to say anything to Jun.
Episode 18
Eun-yeong (Iim Ji-eun) demands Jeong Seok (Cheng Woong-in) for a divorce, saying she cant forgive him for lying to her. Jeong Seok meets Mi-ju (Yoo Ho-jung) at a neighborhood tent bar for drinks. After becoming a little drunk, he confesses that he is meeting Eun-yeong the next day at court, and that she has asked him for a divorce. He demands how they can get a divorce when they already have a child. Realizing that he doesnt want to get divorced, Mi-ju tells him there is a way to change Eun-yeongs mind. She advices Jeong Seok to just say three things to his wife.
Having organized her heart, Mi-ju prepares to leave for the United States. She goes to find Rookie (Lee Ki-woo) practicing, and asks him out for dinner as a compensation for having healed her wounds. However, Rookie has a prior engagement with the coach, and they agree to meet the next day.
Next day, sitting in a taxi headed for the airport, she calls Rookie, chanting to herself, Please dont answer. Please dont answer. When he really doesnt answer the call she lets out a sigh of relief and leaves a voice mail.

Unable to use printer or dialup modem
Just gave a quick spin to the Opera version of Puppy 1.0.2 and I am, at first look, highly disappointed (but still willing to be convinced). The problems I had several versions ago (say around 0.7) remain (as written about on the old forum).
First, I still can't seem to establish a dialup connection. The small improvement is that now my modem is found (wasn't before, although it is Linux compatible and works with other distros I've tried it with). But I can't get it to actually dial. I get an error message saying that the connection was lost before it ever actually dials. In setting up a connection in gkdial (is that the right name?), I put in the user name and password, and a name for the connection as instructed. But I noticed it did not ask me for server IPs for my ISP. Did I miss something? Is there somewhere else that is supposed to be configured? I also tried the other modem wizard (can't remember the name), but I didn't see how or if it could be used for dialing into the internet.
Second, I could not find my printer (a Canon BJ-200) in the printer wizard, although there are several others by that manufacturer listed. This has always been a problem when trying to configure my printer using CUPS. Any chance of using/including Apsfilter (it's what Feather and Damn Small Linux use)? It seems to support many more printers (including mine) than does gimp-print and/or CUPS. Just a thought. Thanks for listening.

Regarding dialup, it should be as simple as the Start -> Help -> How to Internet page explains. Nothing else to configure.
The Help page explains that you run the Modem Wizard first, to choose your modem, then you run Gkdial.

That's what I thought I did, but I can give it another try. As I said in the earlier post, though, the modem was recognized; it just would not dial.

Maybe your modem needs a different "initialisation string" then used by GKdial.
There's a PupGet package called "wvdial" that has a great program that can test your modem and discover the correct initialisation string.
Currently, wvdial is not installed in the live-CD, so you have to download it using the PupGet package manager -- which is a problem as you don't have Internet access!
The way around that is to download wvdial from ibiblio.org -- look in pupget-packages directory -- using some other operating system.
Then, bootup Puppy 1.0.2 live-cd and run PupGet then choose to install an alien package, which allows you to select a package that is local on your PC.
Then read the docs on wvdial.
Gkdial has it's initialisation string in /etc/ppp/chatscripts/
There's a line:
...or something like that. the second set of quotes is where you put the initialisation string.
Note, if you give up on Gkdial, though it should be able to work, wvdial also has a dial-out program.

Wow! This seems like a lot of work to get dialup working. I don't know my modem's initialization string (never had to use it) and I'm not sure how to find it.
Why not use something like the pppconfig tool (I think that's what it's called) in Feather Linux (my current distro) and I believe also in Libranet? It walks you through the process and prompts you for the needed information (including your ISP's server IPs), and it has always worked for me. I've never gotten Gkdial working.

Most modems will work with either "ATZ" or "AT&F2" though they can sometimes be tweaked to work better with more elaborate strings.
I have one old Zoltrix that requires a specific and long initialization string to dial whether windows, linux, or whatever. If you've never had a problem dialing with any other operating system, then one of the generic ones I mention above should work. Think AT&F2 is the default and I had to change to ATZ for my current isa hardware modem.
Not a big deal to modify the file Barry mentions. You can also modify another file to change DNS servers if you dont want to use the ones your isp assigns you.
I personally have never had a problem with GKdial and have found it quite convenient.

Post subject: SUCCESS!!!
Changing the initialization string in /etc/ppp/chatscripts to "ATZ' turned the trick, and I am writing this from Opera in Puppy. Once you know, the change seems easy, but it's not something I've ever had to do before.
However, I still have printer issues and a mouse issue, which I'll raise in the appropriate forum. Thanks for the help. I guess now I ought to go ahead and become a member. (I was waiting to see whether I could make any part of Puppy usuable for me.)

Post subject: printer works too!
Since I've been writing about my modem and printer woes in this forum, I thought I'd complete the saga (and also make my first post as a member) before moving to the appropriate forum to ask about a few other issues I'm having in Puppy.
Well, my printer (a Canon BJ-200 inkjet) seems to work with the ijs bjc-30 driver (might also work with other Canon drivers, don't know). After a search of the old forum (thanks for keeping it available!) I found that others were able to print by using the command 'lprshell'. So I tried that in Textmaker (using the Opera version at the moment) and, lo and behold, my test page printed!
Two issues resolved, two more to go! Guess the Puppy is getting me trained!
Might I suggest adding the tips about changing the modem initialization string to 'ATZ' and about using 'lprshell' in the command line when printing to the wiki if they aren't there already. Those were mighty useful tidbits.
Now that you point it out to me, the answer seems painfully obvious.

yes, there are still plenty of people using dialup!
I was thinking of putting in some extra stuff in the modem Wizard, to fix the modem initialisation string -- and put in "wvdialconfig", which is a great app, finds out all about your modem.

Post subject: Re: gkdial configuration
Using Puppy Linux 1.0.1 as is, we could dial successfully using our Best Data 56SX-92 V.92/V.44 56K external data & fax modem but we couldn't dial with our Harmony V.90/X2 V1456VQE 56K modem so the modem detection function may be needed. FWIW Damn Small Linux dials both modems as is. When we changed the Puppy initialization string in /etc/ppp/chatscripts to "ATZ" , we could dial with both modems.

This is what the file looks like on my 0.9.9 Puppy
CONNECT "\c"
I think I read somewhere that "ATZ" is now standard on most newer modems. Maybe on Pup1.0.3 you could change it and make "ATZ" the standard or put both choices in and let the user choose.
Its so much fun making suggestions without knowing the first thing about how to do it.

Story highlights
- Sold! A Salvador Dali etching raises $21,005 in a Goodwill online auction
- The etching was anonymously donated to Goodwill in Federal Way, Washington
- The couple who bought it say they like master surrealist Dali -- and helping Goodwill
- The money will fund job training scholarships for people with disabilities and disadvantages
A Salvador Dali etching that was anonymously donated to Goodwill fetched $21,005 in an online auction, the nonprofit said Tuesday.
The money will fund 12 scholarships to provide job training to people with disabilities and disadvantages, said Amanda Bedell, spokeswoman for Goodwill Industries in Tacoma, Washington.
The buyer, identified only as an East Coast man by Goodwill, said that he and his wife are interested in Dali's work.
"We saw the Dali on the news and thought it would be a great way to add to our collection while supporting a great cause," he said in a statement. "We donate to Goodwill all the time and are very happy that our purchase is helping those in need."
Earlier this month, an anonymous donor dropped off the framed Dali piece at the Goodwill facility in Federal Way, Washington.
The work by the master surrealist is a colored etching, and the framed piece even features the familiar Dali motif of a melting watch placed on the wrist of a pointing hand.
Its title is "Reflection" or "Reflections," from "The Cycles of Life Suite," and the art is signed by Dali and numbered "126/150." The work is also labeled as an "etching and photolithography from collage."
Goodwill auctioned the art on its website, and bidding ended Monday night.
Goodwill doesn't know who the donor is. He or she managed to sneak away during a busy time at the drop-off facility, the organization said.
But the donor kept intact the back of the frame, which contained an envelope with a certificate of authenticity and registration number from a defunct gallery in North Hollywood, California.
An appraiser retained by Goodwill also confirmed the authenticity of the Dali, and the charitable organization also ensured the art had not been stolen, Bedell said.
The nonprofit provides employment and training programs to people with disabilities and disadvantages, and the group sells donated goods in more than 2,600 stores.
Goodwill held on to the Dali for a week in case someone claimed it had been donated accidentally, Bedell said.
"We don't know the background of what the circumstances were," Bedell said of the donation. "It's a steady stream of people coming in. It's not necessarily documented what every person comes in with."
About 74 million people in the United States and Canada donate annually to Goodwill, Bedell said.
Most donated goods are sold at Goodwill stores, but prizes such as the Dali are auctioned online to maximize their value, said Shea Munroe, who works for Goodwill's online department in Federal Way.
The Dali was the highlight of Munroe's past six years of working for the nonprofit, in addition to her two years of service in the 1970s, she said.
But the Dali piece is not the most prized art auctioned by Goodwill: A Frank Weston Benson oil painting, dated 1924 and also donated anonymously, was sold online by Goodwill in 2006 for $165,002.
