Is There A Find Function To Find The Position Of A Character In A String?
I am using Microsoft Excel 2000.
I wanted to know if there is a way of easily finding the position of a character in a string.
My main problem is that I need to go thru a string and remove all characters that are not letters or numbers.
This is what i am doing so far: (i would be most grateful for any suggestions or help)
Dim yo As String
Sub kristy()
Dim numberofcharts As Integer
Dim name, name2, tempa As String
numberofcharts = 200
'loop thru each chart and select the title and use that as the file name
For i = 1 To numberofcharts
name = ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Text
tempa = name
name2 = StripOut(tempa)
fname = ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & name2 & ".png"
ActiveChart.Export Filename:=fname, FilterName:="PNG"
name2 = ""
Next i
End Sub
Public Function StripOut(from As String) As String
Dim h, a, b, c, result As Integer
Dim tempChar, temp, str1, str2, str3 As String
StripOut = from
str1 = "DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABC"
str2 = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
str3 = "1234567890"
For h = 1 To Len(StripOut)
temp = Mid$(StripOut, h, 1)
a = InStr(str1, temp)
b = InStr(str2, temp)
c = InStr(str3, temp)
If ((a = 0) And (b = 0) And (c = 0)) Then
'if the character is bad then delete it
StripOut = Replace(StripOut, temp, "")
'put something here so that it looks for the previous thing in the string and then increments it by one
End If
Next h
End Function
Thanks for any suggestions!!

Find A String In A Text File
How do i search through a text file and find a string, then select a string that follows the search criteria and copy it into a variable?
eg. How do i find "From:" and copy just "firstname.lastname@example.com" in the entire string that would read something like:
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
From: Person <email@example.com>
they are on their own line so i suppose you could find the end of the string by looking for vbCrLf
Can you help?

InStr looked promising but I'm not sure how to adapt it for use with a file.
Any hints would be appreciated.

Suggestions On Best Method To Find Computer Name
Situation - have a VB client app. Runs on a WAN - many computers around town - lots of buildings.
SQL Server 2000 backend.
We have an APPCONNECT table that stores a record for each time a person connects to the database - what client program they connected with (app.EXEName, app.Title, app.Major, app.Minor, app.Revision) and where they ran it from (app.Path).
In the STORED PROC we also store the SYSTEM_USER in this row (nice little DOMAINUSERNAME).
Along with all this we also have CLIENT TIME for connection and SERVER TIME for connection.
Question is - what are some ways I can find out WHERE THEY CONNECTED FROM. Is it easy to find out COMPUTER NAME - is IP ADDRESS better. I'm not even sure what method to use to get this information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How Can I Find Out What Computer A User Is Logged Onto?
Our support techs use SMS to remotely control users desktops when the user has a problem. SMS lists all the computer names, not users. Most office people have no idea what thier computer name is and walking some of them through the process can be a nightmare.
I have been able to read all of the networked computers with no problem (image 1). I have also been able to get all of the users logged onto all available domains with no problem (image 2). What I would like to do it be able to type in a user name and find out what computer they are logged into and be able to type in a computer name and find out what domain user is logged onto that computer.
I can't find this anywhere! The only examples I have seen are for the NetUserGetInfo api which enumerates the users on a specific machine, but it gets all the SERVICE users - NOT the users that are logged onto the domain (image 3). I have searched high and low. Has anyone seen this or even know if it can be done? Thanks in advance guys and gals.

My hard drive crashed a while back, the drive was cloned everything was saved, sort of except my email. When my friend set up my computer he did it under a different username spelling my name incorrectly 'deloris' so he made another 'dolores'.

I Found A Solution To Find Out If The Computer Is Connected To The Internet
Catchy topic uh? Well I wanted to share my solution so people can tell me if there's anything wrong with it.
There is many solutions to know if the current computer is connected to the internet but none does the job 'correctly'. Here is some info I found on the subject:
1. User Registry: This is the easiest way to check connection. Checking registry value of SystemCurrentControlSetServicesRemoteAccess from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Using RegOpenKey function from advapi32.dll. Unfortunately, checking is ONLY for MODEM connection. If you are connecting to Internet via Local Area Network (LAN), this method return False even if you are connected
2. Using InternetGetConnectedStateEx: This method use InternetGetConnectedStateEx function from wininet.dll. It works fine, but there is one problem. If your computer is in Local Area Network but you are connecting to Internet via modem, this method always returns True, in case you are connecting to Internet or not
3. Using direct ping to http://www.yahoo.com: This method use direct ping to some Internet address (URL) and checking for connection errors. Now it use http:/www.yahoo.com. It's not so quickly, as previous two, but this method is the most reliable
Unfortunately, the third solution, which seemed to be the best one, takes 40 seconds for pinging when not connected. This is too long.
My solution: I am using the winsock control to connect to an ftp (say ftp.microsoft.com) and if the winsock STATE is not "connected" within the next 4-5 seconds, the computer is not connected to the internet.
Please feel free to add your comment.

Hall of Fame Tells Story of America's Journey Through Lens of Baseball
By Jeff Idelson
November 27, 2012
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum stands as a monument to our National Pastime, with iconic bronze plaques on oak walls mesmerizing hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
Many may believe the Museum in Cooperstown is nothing more than a gallery of plaques. Nothing could be further from the truth.
In reality, it is a social institution where baseball is used as a lens to teach American history. As we have grown up as a country, baseball has been there at virtually every step, reflecting and often shaping American culture and values.
To share that story, three distinct components – a museum and library; an education hub; and a Hall of Fame – live under the umbrella called Cooperstown.
The museum and library's vast collections and compelling exhibits serve to preserve the game's treasures and impartially present our National Pastime's history. Our award-winning classroom education programs are how students of all ages learn about the important role baseball has played in helping to define our country's history, delivered both on-site and virtually. The Hall of Fame, meanwhile, stands to credit those who achieve baseball's highest honor.
Over the last 140 years, the Game has deftly overcome its share of growing pains. Three noteworthy blemishes on baseball's long resume are directly related to society and culture: Gambling, segregation and, most recently, performance-enhancing substances. All are social issues that inched their way into baseball; they were not created by the game.
But despite these challenges, baseball today remains healthy and vibrant. One of the dynamic reasons the game thrives is because the sport has not buried its head in the sand at times of crisis, but instead taken a position of leadership. Each time adversity has arisen, baseball as a sport has met the occasion head-on.
Thirty-four days after the eighth and final game of the infamous 1919 World Series, Baseball hired a commissioner to rid the game of gambling. Seven years before the Supreme Court ruled schools could no longer be segregated, and 15 years before Dr. Martin Luther King's march on Washington, Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby integrated our game, perhaps the single-most important action in sports history.
Most recently, baseball players and management alike have stepped to the plate, not tolerating illegal performance-enhancing substances which cause health problems and create an uneven playing field.
In Cooperstown, our job is to empower you to learn about social issues that impact baseball, by presenting facts in the Museum for visitors, and in the classroom, for tomorrow's leaders. In doing so, we allow our constituents to shape their own values and opinions about polarizing topics.
In the Museum, you'll find artifacts from players who tested positive for performance-enhancing substances or played under that cloud of suspicion. It's up to you to decide how you feel about those players and their feats.
In the classroom, we recently introduced BASE, which stands for "Be A Superior Example." The social and health-based program has been embraced, plain and simple, because it is needed.
Teaching children the values of touching all four bases – fitness, nutrition, character and fair play, basic and essential values to lead a meaningful life – has been both literally and figuratively, a home run. With their pledge to live a healthy lifestyle (and parental permission), the names of those children will live on in the same museum as the 297 legends of baseball who are inducted in the Hall of Fame. Those who participate will ultimately decide if they want to comply in society, going forward. It will be their choice.
And for the foreseeable future, Hall of Fame ballots will contain the names of players who raise an eyebrow, alongside those who don't. The members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America who have earned the right to vote will determine who will have a plaque.
Three entities under one roof. One education-based mission.
This is the essence of Cooperstown.
Jeff Idelson is the President of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

HAMILTON, Ont. -- A desperate bid by the Hamilton Bulldogs to generate some offence came back to haunt them.
Luke Adam scored his first of two goals on a counterattack early in the third period, and the Rochester Americans held on for a 3-1 win over the Bulldogs in American Hockey League play Wednesday.
Hamilton suffered its fifth consecutive loss and sixth in seven games. Head coach Sylvain Lefebvre was left to rue his team's costly lapse of judgement.
"We can't have that happen," said Lefebvre. "We refocused in the second period after they got the best of us, and then to start the third period that way is unacceptable."
Phil Varone also scored for the Americans (6-3-4), while Matt Hackett made 26 saves.
Sven Andrighetto had the lone goal for the Bulldogs (5-6-3) while Dustin Tokarski made 34 saves in a losing effort.
The Americans scored the decisive goal just 23 seconds into the third period, as Mike Zigomanis sprung a counter attack.
A well-worked passing play saw Zigomanis move the puck ahead to Kevin Sundher on the right wing. Sundher backhanded a centring pass to Adam, who easily beat Tokarski from the edge of the crease.
"We want to be a team that plays hard defensively, and we're not even doing that right now," said Lefebvre. "We're struggling because we're not doing what we're supposed to be doing.
"We cheat for chances and we haven't been playing well in our own zone."
Tokarski produced a series of pad saves to keep Rochester off the scoreboard in the early minutes of the first period, but his good work was all for naught when Varone scored the game's opening goal at 5:02.
The Rochester forward corralled the puck outside the offensive zone and cut in through the middle of the ice, splitting Hamilton's defenders. He released a quick wrist shot that found an opening between Tokarski's chest and arm to trickle over the goal-line.
Hamilton pounced on a Rochester giveaway to level the game at 14:20 of the period.
A badly-placed exit pass landed on the stick of the forechecking Mike Blunden in the slot, whose initial shot was bobbled by Hackett. The winger crashed the net and was followed by Andrighetto, who alertly fired the loose puck in as it slid to him.
The goal was Andrighetto's team-leading seventh of the season.
It appeared that Rochester had retaken the lead with just over a minute to play in the period, but Jamie Tardif was ruled to have kicked the puck past knocked Tokarski at the end of a goal-mouth scramble on a power play.
Rochester had the clearest chance to score in a sloppy second period, as Zigomanis grabbed a rebound and rung a slap shot off of Tokarski's near post with four and a half minutes to play.
Nathan Beaulieu manufactured an opportunity for the Bulldogs two minutes later, when he walked in from the blue-line and stepped past an American defender before chipping a wrist shot toward Hackett, who slid to turn it aside with his shoulder.
Hamilton captain Martin St. Pierre called for his team to simplify its approach on offence.
"We start out well, but whether we're trying to do to much individually or as a team, we've just got to get back to the basics," said St. Pierre. "Whether it's the first line or the fourth, we've got to get the puck deep and play simple.
"We're getting down on ourselves mentally, and it's affecting us physically."
The Bulldogs have been outscored 12-3 in their past three games.
Notes: Wednesday's contest was the Bulldogs' annual "School Game," bringing Hamilton-area school children to Copps Coliseum for a morning game at 10:00 a.m. a Announced attendance was 12,185.

Questions on Body Ecology Kefir Starter Culture
4 Item(s)
- From Robin Huber at 6/23/2014 1:54 PM
- Can I use raw milk with this culture and then be able to use 1/4 cup of the kefir for 2nd, 3rd, etc. batches?
- While you can use this product to culture raw milk, it may or may not re-culture well, as raw milk has its own bacteria that interfere with the process of re-culturing.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Yaz Healthy at 5/30/2014 4:30 PM
- From Billie at 10/28/2013 10:36 PM
- These never develop into grains?
- That is correct. This is a powdered culture that is perfect for those who do not want to maintain the kefir grains. To get started with our reusable Milk Kefir Grains, please see our kit here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/milk-kefir-starter-kit.html
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Anon. at 1/20/2012 8:00 AM
- I have used this product and it worked quite well - I was wondering: Would it by hypothetically possible to use this to culture things besides milk or coconut? (For example, vegetables?)
- Very likely! Basically what you want to do with adding a starter to veggies is give them more bacteria than what's available on the veggies themselves. That's why you can use whey, or starter, or water kefir. You can find more information about starters for culturing vegetables here http://www.culturesforhealth.com/compare-salt-whey-starter-culture-ferment-vegetables-fruits-condiments

- Excellent! Review by CTGirl
Price Value Quality
This product is awesome, and super easy to use. Each packet can be used for 7 uses (if you save a little liquid from each batch). I started with coconut water kefir (which tasted pretty gross), but used a little to start some cows milk kefir, which was delicious. Great to keep the packets in the fridge or freezer if you want to make kefir, but don't feel like dealing with the grains.

- Not to impressed Review by becca
Value Quality Price
I wasn't really prepared when it came, so I refrigerated it for about 3 days. I don't think the starter helped at all. Try to be knowledgable of how to ferment before you get this. Also, I waited 3 days, not a good idea on my end. It was already weak when I used it.

- Good starter culture Review by Terri
Price Value Quality
My first experience with Body Ecology Kefir Starter was poor. The culture was bad; it was a clumpy brown mass and did not work. However, Cultures for Health sent a replacement that was good.
The packet contained the expected powder. It took ~36 hours to culture at room temperature 68-70 deg (it's the dead of winter here). The kefir had a nice, sharp flavor. I was able to successfully re-culture with some of the first batch. This time it took ~24 hours and came out great.
One thing I should note is that I did heat the milk to 180 degrees and let it cool before culturing it.

- I was disappointed that it did not thicken Review by sally
Price Value Quality
After two tries of making a VERY thin kefir, I emailed to ask if I was doing something wrong. The response I got was that it is SUPPOSED to be thin.....really? I will try again with the culture I have left in hopes that it does thicken a little more than my previous two batches.

- partially successful Review by akcabinlife
Price Value Quality
This kefir culture was successful for both whole milk and heavy whipping cream several times now, but after 4 tries with coconut water, i am giving up. I feel like this product is overpriced and i do not understand why Body Ecology does not offer kefir grains. Seems like they're picking pockets to me, yet i'm grateful for the diet's wisdom and how it's helped me recover from candida.

Just Leave Me Be1 Reviews
I think Sasuke knew before I did that i was not cut for Hokage...
Aren't you happy, Naruto-kun?
You must be very proud of yourself, Naruto.
I'm so happy for you, Naruto.
I dreamed of being Hokage since I was a child. I never knew I would feel like this.
The day I was graced by the presence of Tsunade-Baa-chan, I felt like I could protect Konoha. When she told me she was leaving it up to me, I felt gleeful…and very excited. I felt like this was what I wanted to do.
I wanted to become a part of the community, be a part of my people…
Instead, I stay inside of the office with the lights out…completely unwilling to talk to anyone.
In the midst of things, I wanted nothing to do with a lot of people…once I became Hokage, I placed myself in a shell and feel my nerves turn to steel. I proceeded with missions and instructed shinobi's of our future. Never did I bother to form a personal relationship with them.
Sakura stopped coming by along with Shikamaru. Kiba and Rock-Lee never bothered. Chouji and Ino kept away. Neji never liked me. Hinata still visits.
I talk to Kaka-sensei all the time. He stands by the window…comes and goes when he pleases. He knows what happened. He knows where I'm going.
When I was a child, I would look at the statues of the Hokages and one day pictured my face there. I told everyone I got a hold of that I will become Hokage. They didn't believe me, the villagers, and casted me aside because the Kyuubi is inside of me. But, after the fight with Pain, I was considered Konoha's hero. Uzumaki Naruto…a hero. No more "Demon Child". A true hero…and yet that seems so fake to me.
I look at Konoha and sometimes, I can picture myself destroying it, killing each member of each clan slowly. Show them the true extend of the Kyuubi's power. I feel like they deserve that much.
I guess becoming Hokage wasn't something I was made to do. If I cannot become the "Orange Hokage" I promised mother, then, what will I become? What is my destiny? How will I obtain it?
For a moment, I closed my eyes. I felt the tears come. It is time for me to go home. "Kaka-sensei?" I called. He stepped in. His dark eye looked directly into mine. His silver hair blew gently with the wind. "I'm going home,"
"Goodnight, Hokage-sama," He said. I cringed. I exited the room and walked down the hall slowly. No, this job is not made for me.
The moon lid up the dark night while Konoha slept to its desire. Sluggishly, I moved to see you place your robes on. Your fair skin was covered and your onyx colored hair was a bit unkempt. My insides began to scream. "Naruto…do you ever feel if you can get up and run away, you would? If you had the power to leave, you would?"Silence engulfed the room as I watched him leave. "I'm not running away because I'm ashamed. I'm running away because I know I love you and you and I are not meant to me. I want you to do what makes you happy…not what is the right thing to do,"
I love you, Sasuke
"Promise me that you will do something that will make you happy."
I really love you, Sasuke
"Promise me you won't become Hokage and I promise to stay close,"
A rouge ninja is what they call shinobis like him. Running away and traveling alone...I think Sasuke knew before I did that I wasn't cut for Hokage. I was desperate to keep him at my side and told him what he wanted to hear. He promised not to attack anyone to avenge Itachi. I think we both knew the other was lying.
"I won't become Hokage…just stay in my arms a little longer. I rarely see you…and after hunting you down for so many years, the least you can do is stay a little longer,"
I made it to the gate and watched it. The trees rustled on the outside.
"Naruto! He's dangerous. He's killing everybody! Take him down."
I just became Hokage and he's killing everyone. Stop it! Stop!
Revenge is a thirst no one can stop. It is one of those things that must happen. I leaned onto the gate and closed my eyes. I feel it in my bones. I feel it in my heart.
"Hokage-sama, Sasuke is dead. Konoha is safe once more,"
I'm not writing this as a letter. Nor is this an apology. I'm clearly stating the obvious, listening facts. Uzumaki Naruto was not destined to be Hokage. He is not a savior, someone to worship but a human being who contains so much anger…and grief. You may disapprove, demand answers, call me a traitor…it will not guarantee my return.
With anger flowing through my veins, how can I protect you? I cannot and will not promise anything. I will leave it up to you.
Hunt me, hate me, and do as you please. Do it until your limbs disintegrate from overexertion, until your heads explode with anguish. Treat me the way you treated Itachi and Sasuke in Konoha…as a rouge ninja who is the enemy. Belittle me. Banish me. Target me. Eliminate my existence. Remove my face from the Hokage wall. Do everything that satisfies you.
Just leave me be.

"What's the deal with the blue leash?" Fido asked. "I usually have a red leash. Not complaining, just wondering."
"Why are we upside down?" Fido wanted to know. "Why does my butt hurt so much? And why is the roof suddenly the floor, and the floor suddenly the roof?"
"Wow, not a single joke in there, except for the title," Fido said.
"You expected a comedy?"
"I figured "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woof!" was about dogs. It's in the title."
"Oh Fido, you have been misled once again. It's not 'woof!' as in a bark, it's 'Woolf' as in a name."

Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?: A Theatre Review
As endings go, it would be hard to top Mammoth's local theatre company.
The Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre (MLRT) ends its season with a fiery explosion in the form of the expletive-laced, tremulous relationship between George and Martha in Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
"I'm not sure I was cut out to be a center fielder," Fido panted.
"But you're a dog!" I said. "It seems like you'd be a natural."
"Not really. My legs don't work that way. I'm mostly a chow-chow. Ever hear of a Hall-of-Fame chow in center field?"
"Now that you mention it, no."

"That's too bad. Let's go over here! No! Over here! No! Over there!"
"Geez Fido, get out of the way, will ya? It's about the third time today I've almost tripped over you."
"I was just making sure you knew I was still here," Fido said.

"But I don't care about anybody. I care about you, you, and you."
"Road trip, Fido! Fetch your feed!"
"Oh boy, oh-boy, oh-boy. Where are we going?"
"It's quite up to you, Fido. I have nothing on the radar that jumps out at me. But every now and then it's good to get out of Dodge."
"Let's go to where it's warm. Death Valley!"
"Um, there's a problem with that. Can't go to Death Valley."
"But I've heard that it's a lot better than it sounds."
"I said at the beginning of the week that we're in for a long one."
"You did," I said, "and if you really wanted to help, you might want to knock some of that snow off the headlights."
"It's going to be a long winter," Fido said. "Humans forget. They get a dry spell and they think it's never going to snow, ever again. But dogs like me know."

Cartoon color wheel
Slate places cartoon characters from past and present within the frame of a color wheel.
Why are the Smurfs blue? Why is Doug's Beebe Bluff purple? Our aim is not to answer these existential questions. When asked why the Simpsons are yellow, Yeardley Smith (voice of Lisa) explained only that Matt Groening "thought that it would be really funny if, when people watched The Simpsons, they thought that maybe the color on their TV was off."
Totally ridiculous. And that's what makes it fun.

Perfect property for a great holiday in Curaçao
The property lies in a calm, civilized area, close to some of Curaçao's most beatiful and accessible beaches and has a beatiful view over the pool on the Caribbean sea, The typical trade wind of Curaçao sweeps through the house which makes the house and porch comfortable even with high outside temperatures. The house is clean and contains everything for a comfortable stay in the tropics. The pool is lovely! And well-maintained. The property and its environment were major factors to make my holiday in Curaçao an exceptional one. I'd truly recommend a stay at Dolphin House to anyone.
Our stay was fantastic
Thank you so much. We had a fabulous time at Lucy's Cottage. The views are amazing and the area wonderfully quiet - yet close to everything. We enjoyed watching the Pelicans and feeding the Iguanas in the mornings - it really felt like paradise. The cottage offers all you can wish for - nice sized bedrooms, clean bathrooms, a small kitchen to cook and best of all a patio overlooking the lagoon. This is where we spent most of our time. The rooms are air-conditioned which is great for sleeping at night and they all have ceiling fans, too. There is also wifi and a phone which is a big plus! I would for sure recommend this place to friends and family and am sure whoever books it will love it the same way we did. If we come back to Curacao you can be certain that we will contact you for this place again. We give Lucy a big thumbs up!
Cozy, Clean and Affordable
What a wonderful experience my boyfriend and I had at the Curacao Sun Apartments! Maria and Carlos were super sweet, laid back and hospitable. We stayed in the reasonably priced "Wave" apartment, which was all we needed for two people. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook with, and Maria and Carlos will even provide you with a gas grill to use, if it's available. The apartment was clean, and well situated to the city of Willemstad, the grocery store, beaches, etc. We also rented a car for the 10 days that we were there from Carlos, who gave us a very reasonable price. We already have plans to stay here again next year for the final year of the Curacao North Sea Jazz Festival (which is directly next door to where the main stage is set up.

Between 6 pm Thursday and Monday morning, 15 people were shot and killed, with at least 58 others wounded. July is being considered one of the most dangerous months in the city. There's outrage in the hardest hit neighborhoods.
The mayor prayed and walked with relatives Monday whose families have been rocked by violence, but what is it going to take to stop the shootings?
The mayor expressed his frustration before an anti-violence march, and repeated his message, that police should not be the only ones working to stop the violence.
"They become anxiety-ridden in Chicago when the weather gets warm like this," Ron Holt said.
And Holt knows, personally. It was 84 degrees in 2007 the day he lost his 16-year-old son, Blair, to a gang member trying to shoot someone else.
Chicago Police know, too. They said they expected the warm 4th of July weekend would find gang-bangers on the street gunning for each other in macho displays of vengeance. The city put hundreds of extra cops on the street, too. However, parts of the South Side, in particular, exploded on Sunday.
The top cop, frankly, couldn't explain.
"It was yesterday that we lost it. Honestly, I asked the question this morning. And we're square-rooting it nine ways from Sunday. What was it that happened yesterday? Was it a fatigue factor," McCarthy asked.
McCarthy said that many of the extra officers deployed were on overtime, as he knew violence would be a problem over the weekend. Police were directly involved in eight shootings -- targets in three -- firing their own weapons in five incidents. They shot five suspects, including two 16-year-olds who died. McCarthy said preliminary reviews indicated all were justified.
McCarthy said while he knew the weekend would be a bloody one, officials were surprised by the amount of shootings on Sunday.
He once again focused blame on illegal firearms, displaying some of the nearly 3,400 Chicago police have seized so far this year. McCarthy claimed several of last weekend's shooters should have still been in prison for previous crimes. He expressed frustration that the Illinois General Assembly largely ignored his request to impose tougher penalties on gun law violations.
"Does anybody realize what we're talking about here? These are guns. They kill people," McCarthy added.
Holt favors tougher penalties for gun law violations, but having lost his own son to a bullet, he thinks it would do even more if more Chicago parents had jobs and access to good schools.
"And if they don't get that help, Mike, unfortunately, let's face it, those parents are gonna lose their children to the streets," Holt added.
, the violence didn't stop Sunday night. Monday, one woman was killed and seven others were wounded in citywide shootings.

More Harry Potter Movie Games AnnouncedHaving already revealed plans to release a new Harry Potter video game this year, publisher Electronic Arts today announced two video games based upon Warner Bros' upcoming book-inspired two-part feature film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The first video game, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1, will be released this fall alongside the first feature film on PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and "mobile devices." The second will hit the same platforms, presumably alongside the second feature film due in mid-2011.
Harry Potter gaming veterans EA Bright Light is handling development of both titles, with the studio said to be using "a new game engine built specifically to leverage the technology of HD consoles ensures high definition graphics and intense combat gameplay that will immerse players in the action like never before."

From the department store, to the bakery, to that shiny new car on the showroom floor, we all like to go window shopping.
Unfortunately, burglars are no exception.
They too have a wish list of prized possessions.
Oftentimes they do their window shopping right at your front door.
"I like the landscaping... I like the fact that it's clean, there's no real place for a bad guy to hide."
Meet Keith Duncan.
He's a local insurance agent with All-State.
He's also a home security expert who provides advice to clients about better securing their homes and businesses.
"If I'm a bad guy once again, I'm looking for the quietest, darkest place I possibly can," Duncan says, walking into the backyard of a northwest-side home.
"Home security is all about layers," he says. "It's not about wrought iron or I have a dog, I have an alarm. It's about three, four, five steps of layered security."
On this day, we introduced Duncan to long-time KOLD News 13 viewer Betty Wood.
She's lived in the same Northwest side home since 1976 and never had a problem until about four years ago.
"They came over the fence and came here," Wood says, recalling that day back in 2009. "The big cactus was here, but they still got through the cactus, broke through the window."
That was the first of three break-ins, Wood says.
Fortunately, she never came face to face with any of the burglars.
But she did lose more than $10,000 in property.
When we asked what that did to her peace of mind, Wood said it only motivated her to do more.
"I refuse to be intimidated in my own home, so I didn't look at it like that," Wood says. "What I looked at is how can I make myself more secure and safe?"
Precisely why we're here today.
To point out a few quick fixes...
"Another thing that might help is maybe a motion sensor light up here," Duncan says, pointing to a dark corridor behind Wood's home.
And to make you consider some things, maybe you've never considered before.
"So often I see your tools used against you to break into your house," Duncan says, holding a hammer, a pry bar and a hatchet found inside a storage unit next to Wood's house.
Whether you leave them in your yard or an easily accessible place, something as common as a shovel just might be the first thing any street-level thief is looking for.
"So often people leave this sitting outside their house," Duncan says, shovel in hand. "I can use this as a pry bar. I can use this as a battering ram. You have a second story, I can latch up to it and climb up--this is a devastating burglar tool, but people leave it out and about."
Stay tuned to Tucson News Now over the next month as we take a closer look at home security. We'll tell you what the experts have to say...and show you what you can do yourselves for less than $200.

Giant Hogweed
Do Not Touch This Plant!
Giant hogweed can grow to 14 feet or more
Giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) is a Federally listed noxious weed. Its sap, in combination with moisture and sunlight, can cause severe skin and eye irritation, painful blistering, permanent scarring and blindness. Contact between the skin and the sap of this plant occurs either through brushing against the bristles on the stem or breaking the stem or leaves.
What to do if you come in contact with giant hogweed:
Immediately wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water and keep the area away from sunlight for 48 hours. This plant poses a serious health threat; see your physician if you think you have been burned by giant hogweed. If you think you have giant hogweed on your property, do NOT touch it. Please refer to our Health Hazards & Safety Instructions for Giant Hogweed for more information.
How do you identify giant hogweed?
Giant hogweed is a biennial or perennial herb in the carrot family (Apiaceae) which can grow to 14 feet or more. Its hollow, ridged stems grow 2-4 inches in diameter and have dark reddish-purple blotches. Its large compound leaves can grow up to 5 feet wide. Its white flower heads can grow up to 2 1/2 feet in diameter. Please refer to the Giant Hogweed Identification page for further help. Some other plants look very similar.
What to do if you see giant hogweed:
First: Use the key on our giant hogweed identification page to try and make a positive identification. Other plants that look similar are also shown.
Second: Photos are needed to confirm identification. Take high resolution photos of the entire plant, stem, leaves, flowers and seeds, making sure to keep a safe distance.
Third: Email DEC: firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Giant Hogweed Hotline: 1-845-256-3111. Provide photos, detailed directions to the plant infestation and estimate the number of plants.
Fourth: If it is giant hogweed and it is on your property, DEC will contact you and may visit to assess the site and discuss management options, as resources allow.
Where is giant hogweed found?
Giant hogweed is a native of the Caucasus Mountain region between the Black and Caspian Seas. It was introduced to Europe and the United Kingdom in the late nineteenth century and to the United States in the early twentieth century as an ornamental garden plant. It has become established in New England, the Mid-Atlantic Region and the Northwest. Giant hogweed grows along streams and rivers and in fields, forests, yards and roadsides. It prefers open sites with abundant light and moist soil but it can grow in partially shaded habitats, too. The map to the right displays the current confirmed locations of giant hogweed sites in New York State.

A man in the Bartow County town of Rydal is facing charges of making terroristic threats during 911 calls.Bartow County Sheriff's dispatchers say that 46-year-old Lyle Devenpeck has made at least 67 calls to 911 in the last several years. But on Oct. 6, authorities said that Devenpeck called dispatchers and threatened to use explosives. "I could blow up the whole Atlanta -- everything -- in an instant. One second. Boom! Gone," a voice dispatchers say was Devenpeck said.Sgt. Jonathan Rogers says Bartow County deputies have been to Devenpeck's house on numerous occasions, but this time it was different."When they arrived this time and were speaking to him, he seemed a little more agitated than normal and made some specific threats, so they had to act upon that," Rogers said.Deputies arrested and charged Devenpeck with terroristic threats, false public alarm and unlawful conduct during a 911 call.Lt. Sheila Wilkey the 911 supervisor with the Bartow County Sheriff's Office, dispatchers take all calls seriously. "Well, I mean, it is difficult to deal with people like that. But, of course, you know it doesn't matter if they call once or 10 times a day," Wilkey said. "We still have to consider it a 911 call and do what's appropriate." Devenpeck has been released from Bartow County Jail on a $5,000 bond. He has been reported to the Secret Service, FBI and ATF because he threatened to blow up the United States.

If you're still in the shopping spirit this Christmas day you're in luck.
Some stores stayed open.
One store in Brooklyn was open Christmas day, all in an effort to calm those Christmas 'last minute shopping' jitters.
They opened at 10am and there were people right outside waiting.
Jonathan Zemmol owns The Yellow Door on Avenue M Brooklyn.
He says the store is always a draw on Christmas Day.
"People were making their last mad dashes to their family events people came in to do their holiday shopping earlier in the day.
Yet there were some last minute stragglers in the store.
"I just got a dish for somebody as a gift," one customer said. "We need more stores that are open on Christmas too many things are closed."
The customer called yesterday to make sure it was open and planned out his day.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Both sides debated Wisconsin's Common Core public school standards at a State Capitol hearing Thursday.
Special Assembly and Senate committees are taking a second look at the three-year-old standards.
That's after conservatives started a national movement to drop them, for fear that Washington could set a national curriculum and seize private student data.
Dozens of people attended Thursday's hearing. State public school superintendent Tony Evers said the Common Core standards for math and English encourage complex thinking by students -- and it prepares them better for college and the workplace.
Evers also said the federal government did not coerce him into adopting the voluntary standards, to which one person in the audience yelled "Ha!"
Opponents shook their heads as Evers insisted that Common Core will not result in a loss of local control.
Edward Perkins of the tea party's Fox Valley Initiative said Common Core may lead to the end of the nation's dominance in technology.
Wisconsin was among the first states to adopt Common Core. 44 other states have done so.
The state panels will three other hearings October 16th in Fond du Lac, the 23rd in Eau Claire, and October 30th in Wausau.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
Think you can put off taking care of yourself? Start thinking differently. "Only one-third of our health is determined by genetics. The rest is due to lifestyle choices," says Gary Small, MD, director of the Center on Aging at UCLA and author of The Longevity Bible. "It's easier to protect well-being than it is to repair damage," he says. To make a U-turn now and head down the road to good health, try these newly updated, very doable strategies.Weigh Yourself
Yes, your weight can fluctuate from day to day, but daily check-ins have been shown to help protect against added pounds.
Our best advice: Step on the scale at the same time every day. "If you're up three to five pounds in a span of a few days, watch your portions and work out longer," advises Kathy McManus, RD, director of nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. For the big picture, including understanding how your cycle affects your weight, track your readings on a calendar.Stand When Getting Dressed
Sounds too simple to make a difference, but forcing your body to balance while you put on your pants or skirt strengthens your reflexes and core muscles. "This will protect against falls and broken bones, particularly as you get older," says Sherry Marts, PhD, vice president of scientific affairs at the Society for Women's Health Research in Washington, D.C.
Our best advice: Stand on one leg, then on the other, while pulling on your jeans. Shifting your weight from foot to foot is what you want to get good at.
Getting too little natural light not only affects your mood but can also mess with your internal clock, making you drowsy during the day but wired when it's time to sleep, says Gary Aston-Jones, PhD, a professor of neuroscience at Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
Our best advice: Although researchers don't know exactly how much natural light we need, Aston-Jones believes that light's influence over our circadian rhythms indicates that even a little bit can be crucial. His suggestion: Go outside for at least 10 extra minutes of sunlight every day. To get the full spectrum of light, which may be the most beneficial, venture out at the brightest time of day. Don't forget the sun block!Carve Out Some Off-the-Net Time
As useful as computers and handhelds are, e-mail, message boards, and just plain surfing are highly addictive. "It's incredibly easy to do nothing else, when most of us are already too sedentary," says Jack Guralnik, MD, PhD, chief of the laboratory of epidemiology, demography, and biometry at the National Institute on Aging in Bethesda, Maryland.
Our best advice: Take off all of your electronic leashes for several hours at least once a day, Monday through Friday -- say, during and after dinner -- and on weekends. (Sorry, the time that you're asleep doesn't count!) Use the hours that you're disconnected to do something healthy, like taking a walk rather than watching TV. When you hop back on the computer to shop or answer e-mail, give yourself a limit. Set a timer for an hour: When it goes off, you log off.Have a Superlight Lunch
Yes, you need to eat regular meals, but could they be smaller? Certainly, says Christiaan Leeuwenburgh, PhD, a professor of aging and geriatric research at the University of Florida's College of Medicine in Gainesville. "You may find you have more energy if you eat lightly, because cells may work at their optimal level when they're not supersaturated with calories," he explains. What's more, consuming fewer calories over a life-span can reduce and even reverse age-related cell damage.
Our best advice: You know what counts as light: a salad, half a sandwich, a cup of soup. But if you want to go even further, Leeuwenburgh suggests having an apple or other piece of fruit instead of lunch on days when breakfast is late or dinner will be early. If you have any medical conditions, check with your doctor first.
About a quarter of women get fewer than six hours of sleep a night (most of us need seven to eight hours). Recent studies link chronic deprivation to a weak immune system and an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease, among other dangers.
Our best advice: "Refrain from taking a hot bath or shower within an hour of bedtime, since falling body temperatures can assist in the onset of sleep," says Nancy Collop, MD, medical director of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Sleep Disorders Center in Baltimore. And even though working out improves sleep quality, you shouldn't exercise within two hours of turning in. If you have insomnia, get out of bed rather than toss and turn, but whatever you do to relax, stay away from the computer -- the blue light is stimulating and will wake you up even more.
"Having nothing healthy in the house is often our excuse for picking up something bad to eat on the way home from work," says Jacqueline Suk Danik, MD, a cardiologist and faculty member at Harvard Medical School.
Our best advice: Stock up on vegetables, fruit, and whole wheat pasta and bread, as well as fish, turkey, and other lean meats. Prepare good-for-you dishes beforehand or learn to make basics -- such as steamed fish -- that take little prep time after you walk in the door.

While shopping, you might also want to limit the processed foods in your cart, since, like restaurant take-out meals, they are apt to contain trans fats. In addition to their adverse effects on cholesterol levels, these fats were recently linked to increases in abdominal fat, which is associated with cardiovascular disease, says Lawrence Rudel, PhD, a professor of pathology and biochemistry at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.Oversleep a Little on the Weekend
Ideally, you should follow the same schedule seven days a week. But if you're not getting enough shut-eye, doctors recommend that you sleep in a bit to make up for shortfalls. One tip-off that you're sleep-deprived: You can't wake up without the alarm, says Dr. Collop.
Our best advice: If you really need eight hours but get only seven Monday through Thursday, you've accumulated four hours of sleep debt; however, you need to make up only two. In other words, you only need to "pay back" about half, explains Dr. Collop. If you're getting your winks but still don't feel rested, your sleep may be disrupted. Try to keep dinners light, cut off alcohol after 7 p.m., and exile fidgety pets from your bedroom.
"Young women often think they don't need one, because they're not worried about heart disease," says Paula Johnson, MD, a cardiologist and chief of the division of women's health at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "But a gynecologist isn't likely to test your cholesterol, which is a must no matter what your age." An internist can also tell you if your levels are normal. (What's healthy depends on a number of factors, but across the board, HDL, the "good cholesterol," should be over 50 for women.) Once you know that your scores are within a healthy range, you should be good to go for the next five years.
"Even when you sit in nonsmoking areas, you're still breathing in toxins -- and there is no safe level of exposure," says David Coultas, MD, of the University of Texas Health Center at Tyler.Skip the Cola
Women who down more than three servings a week have lower bone density (a marker for osteoporosis) than those who drink less. "The body draws out calcium to buffer the phosphoric acid in cola," explains Katherine Tucker, PhD, of Tufts University in Boston.Take a Brisk 30-Minute Walk
A recent study confirmed that regular aerobic exercise (three hours a week) increases brain volume in older adults, which translates to better concentration and memory. "In younger people, this can help stave off mental decline, which starts in your 20s," says Arthur Kramer, PhD, of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.Turn Down Your MP3 Player
Prefer your music cranked? You could be risking eventual hearing loss. If you use your MP3 player for up to four hours a day, listen at 70 percent of the maximum volume, tops, says Brian Fligor of Children's Hospital Boston.Hold Hands
When it's with someone you're close to, like your partner, holding hands can decrease activity in the parts of the brain that release harmful stress hormones, says Jim Coan, PhD, of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Heck -- give 'em a hug!
