Hypothetical fact pattern: You're in a retail business minding your own business, when suddenly several armed robbers burst in and order you and the other people present, to lie face down on the floor. In searching one of the other customers, the robbers discover he is an off-duty police officer who has a handgun in a belt holster. The criminals begin to pistol whip and grapple with the off-duty officer; who is able to fire a round or two before being wounded himself and dropping his pistol. You are able to pick up that firearm and fire at the then-fleeing robbers, wounding one or two of them.
Question: Are you hailed as a hero?
Answer: If this occurred in New York City, not only are you not hailed as a hero, but you face potential prosecution because you fired a gun belonging to someone else.
Note: This is not a hypothetical. It is a real incident that took place in New York just last week. The man who picked up the police officer's handgun and used it to try and stop the armed robbers, was an off-duty school safety officer not authorized to carry firearms in the course of his duties. However, his real "crime" here is the fact that he picked up the wounded officer's handgun and tried to stop the robbers. This is a criminal offense in New York, and initially he was threatened with prosecution.
The Lesson: This is life in the Bizarro World of an American city which government believes that the best way to enable citizens to avoid becoming victims of armed criminal is to disarm the citizens and then prosecute them if they have the backbone and sense to pick up a wounded police officer's gun and try and disable the attackers. At least in this instance the Big Apple did not actually prosecute the local hero. However, the mere fact such a law is on the books, and that the city even considered prosecuting him, should cause outrage in all Americans who understand and believe in liberty and our Bill of Rights.

Hey! That hypothetical fact pattern narrative sounds suspiciously like the plot to Police Academy 6!!
Seriously, Bob Barr is…………..WRONG!!! I don't trust an average nitwit to fire at fleeing perps without hitting innocent bystanders. A sharpshooter has to practice assiduously to perform his feats. The average clown will almost certainly kill a bystander or himself, or the cop or countless other victims. Why? Because people are morons. Complete and total self actuated morons. They see dirty harry five hundred times and think they're qualified to call people punks.
And none of the Bookman punks here can shoot worth a sheet. Now there's a hypothetical narrative pattern FACT!!!!

Years ago, in New York city, a young woman, walking down the street, was grabbed by a thug and dragged into an alley. As he began to attack her, she pulled out a switchblade knife and stabbed him. She was arrested and charged with carrying an illegal weapon. Only in America.

That's why there is trial by jury. Simply because you are prosecuted doesn't mean the jury has to convict you. That's why it's important for Americans to be willing to serve on a jury. We need intelligent people on juries- lawyers and prosecutors hate that.

Now, Hold your horses, Atlanta is the 2nd city in violent crime just behind St. Louis. NYC looks like a very safe place compared to Atlanta.
In 1993 there were 1532 homicides in NYC
In 2002 after new tougher gun laws there were 365 homicides.
I mean really, you have to go with what works, The Supreme Court would agree with that.
And besides, possession by felons and mentally ill is prohibited as well as "sensitive" places like schools and government buildings.
In NYC everything is peaceful, Atlanta is the "wild west".

Gun laws seek to disarm only the law-abiding population. Criminals will always find ways to obtain guns. If anything we need more guns not less. While good fences make good neighbors, an armed society is a polite society.

First you say he shot the robbers while they were fleeing, then you say he fired to stop the robbery. Which is it? It's a big difference. If he shot while the robbery was taking place, he's a hero. If he shot while they were fleeing, he's stupid. The perps were leaving but that action could have escalated the situation. What if one of the robbers returned fire, killing the would-be hero and/or someone else? What if it angered the robbers and they decided to just start shooting everyone before they left? It could have taken a situation that was about to be over and turned it into something even worse. Believe me, I'm all for the right to bear arms but let's not be stupid.

Of course had the off duty school saftey officer thrown rocks and disabled or killed the villian, that may be legal under the law and he would be hailed as a hero. I am pretty sure that as long as it is for personal use, you are allowed to get stoned in New York.

Yet another example of liberals' belief that citizens don't have the right to self-defense. (and yet another example of why I don't live in a blue state, and never will)
If, hypothetically, said citizen had shot and killed the robber(s), I'd be all for giving him a reward, the dollar amount of which would be directly proportional to the length of the criminals' rap sheets.

This law is in place for a reason… and when that reason does not apply, the person firing the gun is NOT prosecuted… just like in this instance. Sorry Bob, but this argument rings hollow.

11:18 am
Thanks Bob for providing an example of non-story sensationalism. If the guy wasn't charged there is no story. I'm guessing the law is intended to apply to criminals using a LEO's weapon in commission of a crime. Since the guy using the gun was not a criminal – no charges.

It will only get worse. When the majority of the population are criminal minded people, they will have laws enacted to protect their rampages. If they are just shy of being the majority, then they'll present their case to the gullible non-thinking people and get their laws enacted. After all, they don't want to be shot at when committing a crime. From what I've seen, America's population of criminals is near a majority. I don't see laws getting tougher on crime, although there are a few in some places. I see criminals being released after shorter jail sentences every year, with the exception of drug related offenses. Have a kilo of weed as your third offense? Life in prison. Kill your third victim? Eighteen months to 6 years. I see it all the time. … Only when the criminals run out of victims and they start attacking each other will this course be reversed. When the criminals themselves join the ranks of the right-minded individuals and cry out for freedom to fight back we might be able to regain some semblance of what America was and should be again. Until then, we head towards that tipping point. G'day, B~/

That's goofy's comment sounds about right. They're probably trying to penalize criminals for seizing a cop's gun and using it. Fun fact: 20% of all cops who get shot are shot by their own guns or their partners' guns. Sometimes that's by accident, but sometimes a bad guy wrests the cop's gun away.

He posted a column titled: Why 'death panels' are a necessary evil

Okay, for those that think this is a non-story. What if someone on the MARTA train early Sunday morning, during the rampage, had a gun. Don't you think it would have been appropriate for the gun owner to use it on those thugs that were deliberately beating up two patrons? Some may say it's a non-story because they weren't killed. I say it's an ongoing story that's only going to get worse because innocent bystanders are going to continually experience this type of behavior. Law enforcement cannot (and it really isn't their job) protect you. You have to protect yourself.

Wish that story ended with 20 dead gang bangers, had the Delta employees been armed. Also, how come the AJC doesn't call it like it is as we all know what race these thugs are…or is it a case where whenever the attackers are of another race, that is newsworthy and gets reported…so all the other times, we know.

Down here we're raised on please, ma'am, thank you, God Bless, the unlocked door and the loaded burglar alarm. I don't care if you're not interested in owning a gun, but don't push your fear or your belief system onto me. And if you're one of these folks that gets all angry or squeamish when you think or talk about guns cause you hate them, do yourself a favor: Go buy yourself a gun. Practice with it like you would if you were learning how to ride a bike or hit a baseball. Learn from someone who knows, and someone you enjoy learning from. Don't be afraid, relax and take enjoyment from learning how to handle your firearm safely and with some proficiency. Learn safety until it's part of your nature, and learn how to clean and care for the gun. When you're done, you'll have a new understanding of firearms and why they aren't the devil. Keep it put up and safe, knock the dust off of it every now and then, and teach your kids how to handle it safely and keep it clean. Let it sit in a little bio-safe in the top of your dresser or closet and look at it as the $300-$500 insurance policy you're thankful you never had to cash in on. Or one day, God forbid, you find yourself between your family and some awful thing, you'll be able to stand up for them and for yourself, not hiding somewhere holding a phone receiver waiting on another family man in blue to come risk his life and his family's future for you.

Get over yourself. #1 – the article did not mention that anyone was a "gangbanger". Of course in YOUR world you take great comfort in equating the two I'm sure. #2 – why are you so hung up on what the race of the riff raff was? Given the area of town, I think it's pretty apparent their race. And the U.S. media (Atlanta included) has NO problem whatsoever plastering the description and faces of Blacks all over the screen and pages to feed your anger jones on the regular. How insatiable of an appetite you seem to have.
Now.. having said all that if I had been on that train and something like that went down, I would have blasted them all to hell I don't care what their race is. Right is right, wrong is wrong. And to then learn that a 70+ year old lady gets punched in the face and purse snatched while at the ATM. It is sickening, regardless of what side of the racial/ethnic spectrum you fall on.
Finally, all this "lib" this and that B-S needs to be put to rest. Has nothing whatsoever to do with one's desire to own a firearm of support of the 2nd amendment. A firearm cannot/should not be attached to a political persuasion. A mindless partisan (or bigot even) would probably label me a "lib" by default, but I would bust a cap right off in their @$$ if they threatened my or my family's persons, lives, or property.

Well, this could have easily happened today on MARTA. A pack of 20-plus teens beat-down and robbed two Delta employees on the train. Delta has a no-weapons policy in their work-place. So, the two employees were unarmed. What if another passenger on the train would have had a GA GWL and fired at the perpetrators, killing one or more? Incidents like this are going to become more and more common unless something is done to curtail such actions. Get ready, Atlanta……

I sort of wish we lived in an eye for an eye world where if you punch someone, you get punched…if you rape someone, you get it back worse than you gave. And if you kill someone, you go meet your maker. If that were the case, maybe our world would be in better shape.

So, Mr. Barr, what we need, then, is more untrained civilians firing at moving targets (in this case, a target moving away from the shooter and no longer an imminent threat) with no regard for what's in the target's background? Sounds awesome to me. Can't wait to get accidentally shot by some instant vigilante emptying his clip at a running teenager.

We cannot take security or liberty for granted. The essence of liberty is the rule of law. The more guns, the less liberty and less law. Concrete remedies are needed and the tough NYC laws will insure liberty for the community. People who live differently think differently, Peaceful members of the community do not carry guns. People who are not peaceful carry weapons, it as simple as that.
All of the most peaceful countries have very little weaponry.

Statics show that people with firearms shoot their loved ones, or themselves by accident. Every. Single. Time.
The wagon trains in the old west would leave a trail of graves from missouri to oregon. Why? Because these people were so afraid of indians that if someone thought they saw an injun, they'd all run to the back of their wagons, where they kept their rifles which were pointing outward. They'd grab the rifles and pull. The gun's trigger would hook onto some junk that had bounced around and landed on the trigger. The gun would go off, and shoot the poor sot clean. through. the gizzard.
Every time. No injuns were hurt in the writing of this piece, or in the settling of oregon.

Over at Tucker's, she makes an impassioned plea for reason about……..who cares. She spoiled by her celebrity and with so many observers worshipping her from afar, she quit trying. Einstein proved that you can't simultaneously know who you are AND who you are becoming. We all know that Tucker is becoming a great american lady for the ages, but right now, Tucker thinks she's a populist..
At Wooten's, he scrupulously applies pressure on the left, profusely illustrated with southern idioms (for southern idiots). Just like last week. last year. last decade.
At Bookman, who belongs behind bars, he clumsily approaches a rationale for death panels. Oh, if only there were death panels for journalists. (camera to old hag knitting and yelling, "Guillotine"!)
Get a load of this Bookman gem: "In other words, the panel couldn't be lobbied as effectively as Congress, which is exactly the point in creating it." — (Bookman talks in reverse logic, which is very difficult to read. Why not, "Lobbyists couldn't shake a stick to teflon death panels." ?)
"Again, somebody has to be the gatekeeper". —(Again someone has to point out the idiots blogging 4 the AJC).
" Patients lack the knowledge to do so and confronted by death or illness are not capable of self-rationing". —(Self rationing? I'll bet the Book thought of that one all by himself. Who would dismiss the entire motivation of every human that has ever lived as self rationing? the oblivious brutality of Bookman is as aphyxiating as a death panel panacea.) bwa
"The medical industry won't do it; it has a considerable economic incentive to keep throwing treatment at a patient as long as the bills are being paid." — (Look how he phrases the thought here backwards. He could have written, " The hospitals have incentives to prolong the terminally ill".)
"Private industry will do it, but only if we are willing to submit ourselves and our loved ones to its not-so-tender and arbitrary mercies. And Congress? Please no." — (private industry? and I thought wallmart was the devil. You could write a thousand pages on this private industry death panels alone. But Bookman always misses the real issue. his yesman trolls steer him the wrong way. He's useless as an editor now).
"In the end, while a panel of experts has problems and drawbacks of its own, it is also the approach most likely to find that difficult balance between efficiency and humanity." —–(This is the best example of why Bookman belongs behind bars).
"In the end". —- (Consider the context here. A cliche to cover a cliche? then he uses a redundant "problems and drawbacks" further aggravating what's left of the poor reader…..then he tries to tie it all up in a nice pretty bow as he suggests that the death panels could find that balance measuring morality with accountancy).
Very thoughtful.

A fwe years ago I owned a retail business in an Atlanta Burb. One evening a perp grabbed one of my registers and ran out the door. I kept a Glock 9 under the counter which I quickly took out the door looking for the S.O.B. He had just jumped into a pick up truck with my register. I could have killed him easily. I am a good shot and he was only about 20′ away. I knew if I sot the bast–d it would have cost me a lot more money than I wanted to pay for a register and a few hundred dollars. I had him in my sights. I moved the barrel to one side and fired three shots throught the rear window on the truck as it was pulling away. Those shots went through the cab and the windshield. I fired six more through the tailgate, fenders, tail lights and tire. I called the Police. Uniformed officers said they wished I had shot him. They and a detective who arrived a short while later counted 9 empty casings on the sidewalk which is how I know how many I fired. The good news is they caught the guy because of the bullet holes in the truck. Turns out, the truck was new, only had few miles on it and belonged to the thiefs brother. So, they caught hime because of the bullet holes. That's the good news. The bad news, I never got my register back, never got my money, and the police kept my Glock for evidence. The as-h-ole went to jail and I was not charged with anything. All in all I think justice was served.

Any informed person knows as I did, that there has to be a sake background to stop the bullets. In my case, the area behind the worthless s.o.b. target was and is a dirt bank and I was shooting down at a slight angle down. You can view the area yourself at the corner of Paces Ferry and Atlanta Road, just north there is a strip center. Note the houses across the street were not there at the time. I knew what I was doing.

Is it time for investors to reconsider Greece?
Despite the country's depressing economic news, its financial situation could create new investment opportunities.
Greece... just its name brings up images of severe depression, massive fiscal fraud and spiraling debt loads. Throw in an IMF bailout that nearly failed (twice) and a political system keen on electing neo-Nazis, and the equation does not necessarily lead to a rosy economic outcome.
But forget everything that has happened in the past in Greece, and look at what the new government has done in less than a year since taking office. Deposits are flowing back to Greece, bond yields are falling and the economy may be bottoming out.
Look at some of the recent data. Greek bank deposits rose by almost five billion euros, or almost 3.2%, in December and January to just over 155 billion euros. This is still well below the peak level of over 380 billion euros seen in 2008, but it could be the mark of a bottom.
Greek 10-year bond yields, a good benchmark of the market's view of the solvency of Greece, paint an even rosier picture. 10-year benchmark borrowing costs are a third of what they were in May at 10.64% and have hovered just above the 10-percent level since the beginning of the new year.
2-year borrowing costs, a good measure of the market's view of Greece's liquidity position, have fallen over the same period but still remain at a whopping 225%. Effectively, Greece is still viewed as illiquid by markets (meaning that it cannot borrow anymore money right now), but it is not viewed as insolvent (that is, it should be able to repay its outstanding debts).
GDP data released for the fourth quarter on Monday, March 11 also paints an improving picture of the Greek economy. Remember that Greece is in an outright depression and numbers will still reflect that, however the rate of change of the data and the direction of this change are what are important. Greece's economy contracted 5.7% in the fourth quarter compared to the same period a year ago, better than the 6.0% rate of contraction seen a year ago and trumping economist estimates of a 6.0% annualized contraction.
The lessening of the rate of contraction in Greece is the best GDP data since the third quarter of 2011, or seven quarters, and second-best since the onset of Greece's debt crisis in 2010. This could be another fake-out -- or it could be the real deal.
One other factor to weigh in a Greek investment thesis would have to be the bailout, specifically the government's ability or reticence to adhere to the bailout conditions. Under the previous government of Prime Minister George Papendreou, Greece tended to miss targets creating tensions with its new creditors under the program. This led to the massive stand-offs between the two parties in negotiating new loan agreements.
Under the new government of Antonis Samaras, Greece has actually met or beaten bailout targets and has successfully cooled tensions with its creditors. Should Greece remain on track with its program, this would not only be a boost for investor confidence in Greece but it could also signal a new-found Greek political stability, which investors have clamored for years. The parliamentary coalition of centrist governments from the right and left, led by Samaras and former Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos, that are both pro-growth have successfully kept the radical Syriza from voicing its anti-EU opinions in votes.
All in all, Greece may be looking more attractive than at any point in the past dozen months or so. However, there are many risks to any investment in a nation still trapped in a depression that has run longer than a half-decade, and that is still on the life-support systems of its Troika of creditors. Nevertheless, any improvement is a change in the direction of the data, a change (hopefully) for the better.
Investors looking to invest in Greece from the U.S. without access to the Greek stock market have few options to invest, but still can invest in diversified portfolios. With an average daily volume of just under 40,000 shares over the past three months, investors could look to the rather illiquid Global X Funds FTSE Greece 20 ETF (GREK) to create a portfolio. This portfolio is overweight to economically sensitive sectors such as financials, and consumer stocks which could do well in an economic rebound.
There are also three Greek companies with ADR's traded in the U.S. Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Co. (CCH) is the Greek bottler for Coca-Cola (KO). The stock was trading a bit more than 4 percent off of its 52-week high and just bounced off of support at its 20-day moving average as of Friday, March 8's close.
Tsakos Energy Navigation (TNP) also has shares traded in New York. However, the Greek oil transportation company has had to deal with the double blow of a slowing domestic economy and declining global shipping rates hurting revenue.
Lastly, the National Bank of Greece (NBG) is traded in New York and may be the most popular of all of the Greek ADR's -- as it is a pure play on the financial health of the Greek economy. Along with the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Co., it is one of the largest holdings of the GREK ETF. The bank could be a great way to invest in a recovery in the financial health of Greece, a fall in unemployment, and a rise (or at least a bottom) in consumer credit.
All in all, investing in Greece is extremely risky and should be done with extreme care. However, recently, the new risks have been dwarfed by the new positives in the country and this in itself is a positive. No longer are investors chatting about another haircut, the next bailout, or Greece leaving the euro. Greece is now simply an afterthought of investors when they think about the European debt crisis. It is for these reasons why sentiment may slowly be ebbing from negative to positive... but just about as slow as molasses in January.

California Proposition 7, Tax Credits for Emission Reductions (1998)
Proposition 7 would have provided tax credits to individuals and corporations for certain expenditures they made that would have reduced emissions of pollutants into the air. Under Prop 7, a total of $218 million in tax credits would have been available for award each fiscal year until January 1, 2011.
Election results
|Proposition 7
Of voters who cast a vote in this election, 1,021,884 or 11.85% did not cast a vote on Proposition 7.
Ballot language
The ballot title was:
The official ballot summary said:
- Authorizes State Air Resources Board and delegated air pollution control districts to award $218 million in state tax credits annually until January 2011, to encourage air-emissions reduction through acquisition, conversion, and retrofitting of:
- vehicles, buses, and heavy-duty trucks;
- hearth products;
- construction vehicles and equipment;
- lawn and garden equipment;
- ambient air pollution destruction technology;
- off-road, nonrecreational vehicles;
- port equipment;
- agricultural waste and rice straw conversion facilities;
- and through research and development.
- Requires study of air quality market-based incentive program for prescribed burning projects.

Fiscal impact
The California Legislative Analyst's Office provided an estimate of net state and local government fiscal impact for Proposition 7. That estimate was:
- Annual net state revenue loss due to new tax credits, averaging in the range of tens of millions to over a hundred million dollars, from 1999 to beyond 2010. Increase in local sales tax revenues, potentially in the millions of dollars annually through 2010-11.
- State costs of up to $4.7 million annually through 2010-11 to administer new tax credit program.
- Potential long-term savings to state and local governments, of an unknown amount, in health care expenditures.

Krasnaya Polyana, Russia • The sport may be unpredictable. The results looked like anything but a free-for-all.
France. France. France.

Vive le skicross.
Jean Frederic Chapuis led the first French medals sweep in Winter Olympics history Thursday, taking gold in the wild sport of skicross while Arnaud Bovolenta won silver and Jonathan Midol walked away with bronze.
"Two good friends. I can't explain how it feels," Midol said. "We had a dream to make the podium with friends. The Olympic Games, three French on the podium is incredible."
The three quickly bolted ahead in front of the fourth finalist of Thursday's medal race, Canada's Brady Leman. Leman briefly passed Midol for the third position but wiped out two-thirds of the way down the mountain, meaning the French only had to stay upright to make history.
They did. Sort of.
The threesome skied to the line single file. Chapuis crossed first. Then Bovalenta. Then Midol, who couldn't regain his balance after the final, sky-high jump and tumbled down, skidding across the finish to win the bronze.
Later, they posed on the podium together: Chapuis in his Olympic-issue green bib, Bovalenta in blue, Midol in yellow. They all put hands on their own tricolor — the French flag — and held it aloft.
"We practice together all the time," Bovalenta said. "Jean is fast, he's a world champion. Sometimes it's Midol, sometimes it's (10th-place finisher Jonas) Devossau and sometime it's me."
The French have mastered this course. Earlier in the week, Pierre Vaultier won the men's snowboardcross contest to give his country its first gold medal in that sport's version of side-by-side racing.
The method to the madness?
"I'm not going to tell you my secret," Chapuis said.
This marked the sixth podium sweep of the Sochi Games — adding to four by the Netherlands speedskating teams and one by the U.S. men's ski slopestyle squad on the same hill as the skicross competition.
Slopestyle has high jumps, big tricks and its fair share of spills. For skicross, the course is reshaped to set up a bang-em-up game, in which four racers vie for position as they travel over a series of big jumps, smaller "rollers" and sharply banked turns.
Often, skis and poles — and arms and legs — get tangled.
The scene that best showcased the chaos came in the day's first quarterfinal, when Sweden's Victor Oehling Norberg was comfortably in the lead approaching the finish but lost an edge and wiped out. That caused Egor Korotkov of Russia to fall and Finland's Jouni Pellinen tumbled, too.
Switzerland's Armin Niederer somehow skied off to the side to stay upright. The photo finish for second involved three skiers, none of them upright. Korotkov won out among the cluster of flailing skis and poles. He ended up finishing fifth.
The closest any of the French came to falling came in the day's first heat, when Midol and American John Teller were racing side-by-side and trading elbows for position. Midol won that showdown, Teller ran off course and the French didn't face much more trouble during the rest of a near-cloudless day in which conditions on the course changed almost by the meter — wavering between slushy and hard depending on how the sun hit the mountain.
The French hadn't swept the medals at any Olympics since the 1924 Summer Games in Paris.
Ninety years later in Russia, this trio came through.Next Page >

I thought I could forget the past.

And then we realized our thoughts were wrong.
I thought I was becoming depressed and sad.

The Immortal RAV4 by El cuervo from K.C. on 12/31/2011. Trim: 1999 Toyota RAV4 4-Door 4WD, Owned 7 years.
Pros: Bought @ 67,000 miles in '04. NOW HAS ALMOST 300,000 miles. Still using the original starter, alternator and radiator. The VERY BEST vehicle I've ever owned. Not a powerhouse - it's a 4 cylinder...WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? If you want a hot rod BUY a hot rod. As far as getting around town (Kansas City)...we experience EVERY weather extreme possible...summer heat, winter snow and cold, rain, etc. The RAV4 is a TANK! Can't be beat in ANY type of weather. PERFECT in ANY snow! Has been BEAT UP from day 1. Soon as someone gets home, someone else gets in and drives it away. Basically a TAXI. EXTREME use-always serviced ON SCHEDULE. Change your timing belts on time and you'll NEVER have a problem.
Cons: Only thing that has TRULY BROKEN is the gas fill door! YES! And this after 250,000 miles and TEN PLUS years of use. A little expensive on replacement parts, but then again, I believe in PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE and IT DOES pay off in the long run.
Overall review: Better than ANY AMERICAN MADE vehicle I've ever owned or driven!

Wrestle-1, the new promotion founded by the Great Muta, is about to get an influx of talent from TNA for an upcoming live event in March. Austin Aries, Abyss, Bobby Roode, Brutus Magnus, Christopher Daniels, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Frankie Kazarian, Gail Kim, Madison Rayne and Samoa Joe have been confirmed for the trip.
"It's tough, even Hulk Hogan was a tough loss to accept. Sting has been the cornerstone of the company, Jarrett founded the company and I think he might be the best heel in the business, and AJ Styles is just the best athlete I've ever been in the ring with. From three different perspectives it is a tough pill to swallow because they are three of the best. When you don't have them in the company you hope to god that the young talent steps up, guys like Bobby Roode, Austin Aries, and James Storm seem to be stepping up. Will they replace Sting? You can't replace Sting, will they replace AJ? Probably not, AJ is irreplaceable, but will they become their own characters and do really well, yes they will do phenomenally well and it's not about replacing anymore, it's about making new stars."
- Kurt Angle on TNA losing stars recently
"From a wrestling standpoint, I'd love to have a guy like AJ Styles within the company to wrestle. I think the fans would, too. There was a tease of what could have been, but I don't think anybody saw what me and AJ Styles could do in there. On a personal level, I want AJ Styles to do whatever is best for him and his family, and if that's coming back to TNA that would be awesome. If that's working elsewhere, I completely understand that. If that will happen, I have no idea. I guess we'll find out. We all have to stay tuned and see what happens."
"Well, my opinions don't really matter because the storyline, for me, is just to entertain the fans and keep them engaged in what's going on with the company. I will say that any time that you have the opportunity to take the top prize in the company and take it internationally, and maybe compete and defend it in some territories and in front of some sets of fans that don't normally get to have that honor, I think that's a great thing for the company. That helps get the brand out there and helps put the product out there. A guy like AJ Styles is obviously a great talent and he's going to go out there and put on a performance that's befitting of a man who is the World Champion. So, from that standpoint alone, I don't see how there could be anything negative coming from AJ taking that belt all over the world and defend it against anybody that wants an opportunity. I know that's the same mindset I've had in my past when I've been world champion. Bring 'em all on, near and far, we don't like to sit here and pretend that the only wrestling is the wrestling that happens in our universe. There's professional wrestling going on all over the world and we want to acknowledge it and put our best against their best at any time."
It was revealed earlier in the week that TNA had signed Alpha Female, a wrestler who is known in Europe. Management has decided to pair her up with Chris Sabin, who recently broke up with Velvet Sky on screen. The relationship is designed to be a focal story line point for the Knockouts division.
TNA taped the hall of fame induction ceremony for Kurt Angle at Impact Wrestling today. After delivering an emotional speech, Ethan Carter interrupted the segment, which led to a match between the two at TNA Lockdown being announced.
While there are some fans who are under the impression that he has really left the compny, Jeff Hardy will be returning to the company in March. He has already been announced for TNA Lockdown 2014, where is scheduled to be a part of the Lethal Lockdown match.
There will be a Lethal Lockdown match at TNA Lockdown 2014 this year. Team Dixie will consists of Ethan Carter, Bobby Roode, James Storm and Rockstar Spud. They will face Team MVP, which will include MVP, Gunner, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards.
After weeks of teasing the move, the James Storm heel turn has finally happened. Impact Wrestling is being taped right now, and the long time TNA star turned on Gunner as he was challenging Brutus Magnus for the world heavyweight championship.
Many are wondering who will be the first opponent for MVP in TNA will be, and it looks like Rockstar Spud has been given that honor. Earlier today, the two of them filmed a match for the episode of Impact Wrestling set to air on February 13.
While he denied the rumors all week long, it has now been confirmed that MVP is indeed the new story line investor for TNA. He is making an appearance on Impact Wrestling tonight, where he was accompanied by Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards. All three were wearing suits.
Since the start, Bray Wyatt has done all of the talking to the Wyatt Family. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan generally just stand to the side and in the background during the interview segments. On Smackdown this week, though, Harper actually says a few words.
A shocking heel turn took place in WWE at the Smackdown taping tonight. Titus ONeil turned on his Prime Time Player teammate Darren Young during a match against Curtis Axel and Ryback. ONeil turned heel and vicious assaulted Young after proclaiming that he was tired of losing all the time.
In a rather pleasantly surprising move, Antonio Cesaro has earned himself a main event spot at Elimination Chamber 2014. Despite being stuck in a mid card tag team with Jack Swagger, he defeated Dolph Ziggler in a qualifying match on Smackdown this week.
Not only does Christian make his return to WWE on Smackdown this week, but the former world heavyweight champion is actually going to be receiving a nice push right off the bat. By defeating Jack Swagger, Christian earns himself a spot at Elimination Chamber 2014.

Netflix/Epix deal creates a pay-TV threat
Netflix is clearly gambling that the future is digital.
After Tuesday's agreement, Showtime and HBO should start looking over their shoulder, because make no mistake, Netflix is playing on their turf.
Under the agreement, Netflix subscribers will get to stream box-office hits such as "The Last Airbender" and "Iron Man 2" 90 days after their premium pay TV and subscription deals.
And Tuesday's move only builds on a similar arrangement the company made last month
with Relativity, which gives Netflix the licensing rights to all movies
on which Relativity controls distribution. That amounts to some 14
movies over the next 12 months. Post continues after video:
Less than three years since the subscription rental company launched its streaming service with less than 2,000 titles of dubious quality, Netflix is clearly gambling that the future is digital. By turning its subscribers onto streaming, it will dramatically reduce its overhead. The company plans to spend $700 million on postage next year, on its way to $1 billion in postage fees in the next few years.
And last quarter, it reported that 61 percent of its customers streamed all or part of a movie, up from 37 percent in the second quarter of 2009. Read moreHow much longer can Blockbuster hold on?

Switchy McLayout: An Adaptive Layout Technique
57 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
…so how would you approach this technique for email? end users could be on an array of different devices and clients (which largely block js), and the sender wants an image-rich delivery to those able to view it.
thoughts? discussions? articles? thanks!
What a nicely presented article. Great visuals!
First of all I'd like to thank everybody who has joined the discussion or who has cracked his mind on this technique before. To empower the discussion and give it some direction i'd like to clarify some things about this particular adaptive layout implementation.
Like some people commented, the techniques used in the examples aren't that new or groundbreaking. Nor will it pretend to be most ultimate solution for the specific
problems whe have to deal with. The goal behind this particular implementation however is.
This article is definitly not about page-layout but it has a distinct focus on the appearance of content items on the page in relation to the device whe use. Information richness, dimensions and appearance can be changed depending on the available screenarea on different devices.
The demo's are created with just one goal in mind, demonstrate and clearify the mechanism. They are no cut 'n paste solutions. So things like realtime-change-of-content-on-resizing like we use in the demo's is certainly not usable. Instead, as stated in some comments before, define screensize once at pageload.
For me this article is a way to shake-up the css layout revolution. Nothing new has been introduced for some years now, and that worries me. Especialy the introduction of widescreen devices will eventualy create a new mind-set. While available screenarea on handhelds is very sparse, we got plenty of it on our widescreens. So following questions will rise:
How to handle this whole bunch of unused screenarea?
What can we do with this screenarea?
How does it fit in our webstandards way of building?
Well now, let's take this example further. So modify it, implement it, polish it, talk about it, discuss it, let creativity lead us to some new idea's and concepts. we are curious by nature, so let's innovate!
It took me only a few hours to design a small site with low medium and high resolution.
A few minor ajustments to the script and it was very usefull. Dergrades gracefully, is unobtrusive. When you start with a nice low resolution version, it looks nice on a celphone, pda highres display without javascript.
The extra time you need for the extra css versions is with a good practice of cut and paste minimal in compare with the results. My thanks to Marc for the idea. Just try.
I have just finished reading this article and view all the code, as I am designing a brand-new web right now for wide screen, I think I have found thr right answer here.:)
I have personal experience with trying to view "normal" web pages with the built-in web browser on my RAZR smart phone, Opera-Mini on a cell phone and a PDA and the PDA's builtin web browser.
They all seem to ignore CSS.
So I guess it comes down to this question. Is CSS support for PDAs and Cell Phones is too poor for this technique to work in the real world?
You could use this technique to control screen layout, but using it to eliminate displaying large media files seems futile.
As someone else mentioned – having to wait for the full content of the largest display supported to be downloaded before you detect that the device is really just a cell phone is a tremendous waste of bandwidth and time.
Maybe I'm just late to the party and declassé – maybe it's not new in this article – but the thing that really caught my eye was in the second example, the degradation of columns into tabs. Kudos to Marc if that's your innovation.
So this plan works well for simple pages like the example page, but what if I have some sort of a flash presentation or navigation system that I would like on the main page? Is there a way to determine if the browser is Portable, and then send the viewer to a different page?
The viewer visits the page on a regular Mac/Pc and gets index.php, but then if they have a Portable they get send to indexportable.html or something like that?
I did find:
in my searches, but I am not sure if does exactly what I am looking for.
I see a lot of use for a technique like this, but not necessarily as many of the commenters have assumed. I see this technique more as a "progressive enhancement" than "graceful degradation". That is, rather than use it to provide a more seamless, light-weight website for mobile devices, I'd use this to provide a richer, more fulfilling experience for those with wide-monitors and higher resolutions, which are almost an equal reality these days as mobile devices. I'd use it to add less-valuable content or simply mere decoration for those larger resolutions, and not to restrict content from those with smaller resolutions or less-capable devices. As previous comments have indicated, there are more-direct ways of accomplishing that.
IE reads my index page for screen size but not any others on my site when implementing switchy mclayout.
any ideas?
I´m thanks for this website i have more information fo webdesign and css learning and inspired.
I know the point of this article was the javascript, but I also want to use this resolution-based column remapping technique you used in example 2. I really want to use a form of this technique, but I am new to using css. I think this is a potential bug in your screen_med implementation and hopefully it is an easy fix. To see the bug, go to my example here:
All I have done is copy and paste the last paragraph to make body tab A longer. When you do this and view the page in screen_med, instead of the layout being A B on one line followed by C D on the next, the order becomes A B followed by another "line" which has blank space and then C on the right column, and then the D section wraps back onto a 3rd "line" and is on the left. Does anyone know how to fix this? I just want there to be 2 columns that properly follow each other without any weird space. Thank you.
Its also crucial that they do this without the css defining a fixed height of how tall each section is going to be… (although how tall is not what matters, it just matters when they aren't the same height).
Your technique only makes sense combined with some other logic.
I am very interested in using a simplified version of this on the new (all css version) of my site, but I notice it doesn't work in IE5. You always get a clientWidth of zero. I don't know much jscript. Anyone know how to get round this?
Awesome post, awesome discussion. I got enlighted for my new project. @All: thanks!
It is not quite the same. But similar enough to be mentioned: Another possibility is to use a CSS
* container with overflow:hidden and fixed width combined with
* (sub)containers with fixed height. As many columns are displayed as possible (this means, part of the content won't be visible on small screens.)

The Center for School, Health and Education
The Center for School, Health and Education focuses on the health and social factors that influence educational success and decrease school dropout. School-based health centers have the capacity to benefit all students in a school by addressing barriers to learning.
The Center advances:
The Center presents information on key issues that affect the educational success of all students within the school, such as school violence, hunger and obesity, and school climate.
Visit the Center for School, Health and Education website: www.schoolbasedhealthcare.org
School-Based Health Care Creates A Pathway to Educational Success
A core focus of the Center's work is expanding the impact of school-based health care as a means to improve educational success and prevent high school dropout.
Many things in a student's life can affect his or her ability to learn. Some children and teens are confronted with bullying, for example, and don't feel safe at school or in their communities. Even the best teachers and schools cannot compensate for illness, fear or distress.
School-based health centers can identify and help address these and other barriers to learning and graduation. In addition to serving as a doctor's office right in the school, they are catalysts for developing comprehensive strategies that contribute to a healthy climate school-wide, improving the wellbeing and educational success of all students.
For example, school-based health care programs have helped create policies and programs that:• Reduce bullying • Put healthier food in the cafeteria• Address depression and prevent suicide • Prevent teen pregnancy • Reduce violence and help students deal with the aftermath of violence
…and whatever else the student population needs to stay in school, do better academically and thrive.
The Center's Home at APHA
The Center's location within the American Public Health Association underscores the fact that high school completion is a public health priority. Educational success starts with healthy kids, and kids who complete high school are more likely to have a lifetime of better health and economic opportunities.
"K-12 is the opportune time to establish good health behaviors," says APHA Executive Director Georges C. Benjamin, MD, FACP, FACEP (E). "By focusing on this population, we hope to provide our nation's children with a healthy start in life, and positively impact the health of future generations."
The Center was established within APHA in 2010, seeded by a two-year grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to build on the success of the School-Based Health Care Policy Program. Launched by the Foundation in 2004, the six-year initiative accomplished extensive local, state and federal policy changes to stabilize and expand school-based health care. In the time since, federal policy successes have included the adoption of school-based health care as a safety net provider in the 2009 Child Health Insurance Reauthorization Program, formerly SCHIP, and authorization for a federal school-based health care grant program in the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the historic health reform legislation.
Now, the Center works to ensure continued funding for school-based health care, and to expand the role of school-based health centers to improve educational outcomes for all students.

What could be better than enjoying a tasty, nutritious Krishna Lunch with your friends at the Plaza on a crisp, sunny fall day?
This fall Krishna Lunch will be served Monday through Friday, every day classes are scheduled at UF, from 11:00 AM through 1:30 PM. You can also enjoy Krishna Lunch at the Krishna House from noon through 3:00 PM on those days.
Specifically, Krishna Lunch will be served every day this semester except:
Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 1)
Homecoming (Friday, Oct. 17)
Veterans Day (Tuesday, Nov. 11)
Krishna Lunch will be served on the Plaza during Reading Days (Dec. 11&12) and at Krishna House only December 15-17.
If you haven't already, please indicate your preference between our regular Monday menu (Spinach, dal soup, and rice) and our experimental alternative Monday menu (kitchari, chutney and crisps). Voting closes May 2. Thanks.
Whether they are interested in improving their health, saving the environment or showing compassion, this year, on April 21-27, people across America are taking a pledge to refrain from eating meat for a week.
Krishna Lunch will support this national effort by offering a free extra Krishna Lunch coupon with each donation for a five-pack (two for a ten-pack) to anyone who takes the VegPledge.
Just sign up here ....
US VegWeek 2014 | April 21-27
.... and when you next come to the Krishna Lunch table, tell us you signed up and how you answered the question about "why". We'll be glad to give you the extra coupon(s) to help you keep your pledge or to invite a friend to find out how tasty and satisfying a meat-free meal can be.
As always, thanks for coming to Krishna Lunch.
The voters have spoken! Of the five weekly menus Krishna Lunch dishes out, our online poll indicates the Monday menu is the least favorite, so we're going to temporarily replace the current Monday menu with an alternative and invite every friend of Krishna Lunch to choose between the two.
The current Monday menu includes rice, lentil soup, spinach and tofu veggie. The alternative Monday menu will feature spinach kichari, a balanced and nourishing main course known as "Indian comfort food." Kitchari is a tasty and hearty dish, easy to digest, not too spicy, modest in calories and complete in carbs, protein, fiber and vitamins. Kitchari is such an excellent food we feel it's worth a try at Krishna Lunch.
Our kitchari will be served with tomato chutney to add spice and potato crisps to add texture. The rest of the menu will the same, including dressed salad, halava dessert and herbal tea or lemonade.
On March 22, 2014 1,200 students at UF's Festival of Colors lunched on kitchari, many for the first time. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Still, many people love our current Monday menu, so you please help us decide. Try Kitchari on two upcoming Mondays, compare it to the Monday lunches we've been serving, and tell us which you prefer by entering your vote in the poll on the homepage of this site.
Monday, April 7: Kitchari (online poll voting begins at Krishnalunch.com)
Monday, April 14: Kitchari (online poll voting continues)
Monday, April 21 and onward: Whatever the voters decide
Thank you.

Google bought personalized news feed startup Wavii for more than $30 million, reports said.
The news came from a reliable source, according to TechCrunch, which announced the news of the sale of the Seattle-based company. The 25-person company was founded by Adrian Aoun and will now be headed to Mountain View to work on Google's Knowledge Graph team.
Apple was in talks to also acquire the company, but Google got the company after a bidding war.
Called a "natural language processor," Wavii basically aggregates news stories after a user makes several choices about the news he or she wants.
However, Wavii's semantic search knowledge is also helpful to Google.
The $30 million number may seem a bit high, but not that strange when you realize it's the same sum paid for news aggregator Summly by Yahoo.
