Why it pays to date the frugal
A study suggests that partners who save their money are not only more stable but more attractive.
That, if nothing else, is the lesson the dating world can take from an experiment conducted by the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business.
While compiling data for their working paper titled A Penny Saved Is a Partner Earned: The Romantic Appeal of Savers, researchers determined that in a post-recession economy, frugality is a highly appreciated trait among potential romantic partners.
The crux of the findings is that people who save tend to have far more self-control than their free-spending peers. While that reckless impulse can keep things interesting in the short term, it can be exhausting when the flighty individual in question is the one you've latched on to for the long haul.
The savers, for example, may also be more dutiful when it comes to exercise and nutrition. Ideally, that would make them better looking than their free-spending cohorts, thanks to the their disciplined approach to working out and eating well.
Just the knowledge that they're not going to throw wads of cash at the first gem-bedazzled phone or overpriced condo they see makes savers inherently attractive during an economic recovery. It all boils down to survival.
"It is natural selection at play in choosing a mate," Brad Klontz, a co-author of "Mind Over Money" and a financial psychologist in Kauai, Hawaii, told CNBC. "Saving behaviors hint at the potential to create a more financially secure household unit. With that come significant benefits to one's offspring and overall quality of life.
"Apparently, to our animal brain -- which is focused on optimizing the chances of offspring survival and success -- saving is sexy."
This doesn't come as news to anyone who's been dating during the low-income years that have followed the economic downturn. New York Times columnist Ron Lieber stumbled across the topic of frugal singles back in 2010 after unearthing a survey from now-defunct ING Direct. It found that 27% of people told they were being set up on a blind date with someone described as "frugal" equated that with "stingy."
So Lieber commissioned dating site eHarmony to dig through its 30 million matches made in July 2010. He found that users who labeled themselves as savers rather than spenders were contacted 25% more by potential partners, making it clear that public perception of stingy love interests was becoming less important than economic reality.
Although other studies indicate that just having a more exciting love life can lead to a bigger paycheck, making that paycheck last can stabilize both your economic well-being and your relationship.
Word to the wise - marry a frugal mate and save yourself the trouble. I married my lovely sweetheart years ago. She is a spender, and I am a saver. I love her dearly, but money is her drug. 15 years ago when she wasn't working, she got and maxed out 10 credit cards - I didn't know as she pulled the credit card bills from the mail and hid them. She claimed relatives were giving her money to explain away the items she purchased with credit. One summer she took the kids on a vacation and for the first time I saw the credit card bills - $37,000! She was using the cards to make payments on the other cards in a spiral of debt. We had a family meeting when she came back - tore up her credit cards and almost got divorced. She went to work and paid her debt. She has no access to my accounts. I manage her accounts and keep tabs on her and question her purchases. She can be trusted with everything EXCEPT money. Sigh
The only reason a woman would be turned off by a disciplined saver is because she intends to use a man as a money cow. Beware of that kind of chick, she'll milk your bank account like that's all you're good for. This is an absolute drain on one's finances and life force.
It's rare that this author comes down on the correct side of an issue, but he's spot-on accurate with this article.
I love my wife....she's coupon-sales with "written list" thrifty. I've been a saver since 8 years old with a bank account....we're in our 50's, college educated, no spectacular earning jobs and our net-worth is over a million. Who you marry is your business partner...so make it a good one.
Two additional tips beside marrying your favorite business partner:
1. Buy your home on one income and pay off the note in 15 years.
2. Pay off your monthly credit card debt EVERY MONTH...no matter how hard it hurts...dig down and pay it off.
.... and then you'll have money flowing into your accounts. It's like watching the lottery numbers roll upward. DO YOU FEEL RICH?
One of the things my parents taught me at a very young age is the importance of living within your means, saving for a rainy day, working hard, and staying out of debt. I learned their lessons well, worked hard, and have been very good at managing my finances.
I do not think it is a contradiction to live frugally, enjoy the fruits of your labor, and to be generous to others. I enjoy giving and being bighearted. My fiancé is also frugal and sometime gets upset with me for spending too much money on gifts for her and her family. My response to her is I only give what I can afford and do not go into debt when I buy a present.
I believe one of the reasons why I have done so well with my investments is that I do not place a lot of importance on money or things you can buy. Although, I realize being finically secure gives you some peace of mind; it is more important to me to have family and friends that love me and that I love than to worry about dating someone who is frugal or has money.
It is the people in my life that make me happy and not my bank account.

Into the lobby and greeted again with a welcome drink. Wow! we were speechless, quickly drank our drinks as we wanted to get moving and explore, felt like I imagined it would feel like stepping into the Big Brother house for the first time. We went straight up to the pool deck and ordered a drink, feeling they must not be open yet as no one else to be seen on deck except the crew. It was like we had the whole ship to ourselves that first half hour. Off to check out our balcony cabin, our luggage was already there, unbelievable!! How cool, we were so happy we got a balcony cabin, there is stacks of room and it is really cosy. We found out later that the bed was so comfy and I loved the feeling of getting rocked to sleep ever so slightly every night.
Well by now we were getting peckish, the first place we found was the Bella Vista, a 5 star restaurant no doubt and we were in our shorts and thongs( shoes). As we were the only ones in there, they didn't seem to mind and we feasted on a 3 course late lunch. The food here is top notch and every meal we had was perfect, in proportion and to how it was cooked. The service is really good too. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Back to Taverna for a cocktail, then mosied on down to Bellini for another as we people watched the gathering that was growing in the lobby. We must have been about to sail as we had to do the safety drill then out on deck at our nominated stations. All good and well except many people inside still walking around and many didn't even go and get their lifejackets. Hmmm
We decided the best vantage point would be the front of the ship to sail out of H/K, it was a pretty clear evening so we got to see a lot, stayed there for a couple of hours drinking Tiger beer, chatting to people. There's something magical about being on that ship. I guess as the Virgo is our first cruise ship, it will remain our favorite, funny that, how the first is always the best remembered. We spent a lot of time at Out of Africa karaoke bar and got to know the girls pretty well there. It got to the point we couldn't even walk through to the casino without my husband being handed the mike for a song or two. Hahaha, I even got to sing a few, must have had one too many cocktails, well that's my excuse!
Tuesday: Breakfast was at the Mediterranean Buffet, good choice but a bit of a dogfight, everyone is so scared of missing out, there is so much food, really it was an eyeopener, we were really appalled at the manners of one certain culture,, who by the end of our trip, we let know we disliked their behavior on many occasions. This was the only let down of the whole cruise, these rude, pushy people who love to stare and push their way around everywhere, but we didn't let it spoil our holiday. Halong Bay was really pretty, the organization however of the tour we went on left a lot to be desired. It basically took 6 hours to have a half our lunch at an hotel in Halong. We had heard so many people hated the Sanya tours, so we were hoping the Halong bay tour would be nice to see. We got 25 minutes shopping time at the markets, 40 minutes for lunch, the rest of the time was spent lining up waiting for buses, people who didn't come back on time and then we were nearly an hour late getting back on board. We know this leg of the cruise is relatively new so has some teething problems, but we would much rather have had our own time, we would have seen at least more than one street in 6 hours. Very disappointing. Everyone was pretty crabby by the time we got back to the ship, sick of waiting in the heat and getting pushed in front of by you know who's.
Quick rundown of things we did…
Massage at the spa… fantastic. Husband tried the sauna and was going to have a sponge bath till he found out the water was ice cold. I had a hand and arm exfoliation and massage and the gym is really spacious and well equipped. The Taverna has good snack type meals, quite large and the pizzas are mmmm divine. The casino is really quite bigger than we thought it would be. We are still amazed how there is so much stuff onboard and she still floats hahaha, those horses in the lobby are huge. Credit card got a hammering at duty free onboard. We ate at the Raj Indian restaurant one evening and the food was very nice. Zen Japanese: We went to dinner with new friends, Chris and Mike from Sydney, had the Teppanyaki, with Gerry the chef cooking and entertaining us with his juggling skills with the utensils. One of the best meals we had onboard and highly recommended, just go easy on the Sake! Ice cream Parlour does fantastic banana splits. Internet in Library is soooo slow, don't bother, 29 minutes to send an email. Wait till you get off the ship, instead of wasting precious time there. Galaxy of the stars: Great for meeting people and having a quiet drink, lots of activities held here day and night. I won $1800 H/K at Bingo, and I had to dance for it, damn you Karen from the Philippines, lovely girl! Book signing with pastry chef Gerard Dubois. Got to chat with him at the Mediterranean buffet, lovely guy. And he eats at the buffet, good sign. Swimming pool and spa's: Didn't spend too much time in the sun this trip, but the spa and pool were great, always clean and never too crowded when we went in.
Last night was spent at… you guessed it, Karaoke bar till 3 am with our new friends. But was worth it, just didn't want to leave. All in all, we had the most enjoyable time, met some lovely people, ate some wicked food, drank too much, as you do and we are hooked on cruising, 26 times to Phuket, thought we couldn't get any better, but cruising is such a different holiday. Can't wait for the next one. Sue & Colin Perth WA

But the Chinese authors' complaints, when indexed by Google, were listed as potentially harmful in SERPs, The Inquirer reports. Baidu gave no malware warning in its SERPs for the page. After readers reported this, the newspaper of the Communist Party accused the search engine of keeping its users away from the information. Meanwhile, an unnamed paper official said the section with the complaint was "maliciously blocked by Google."
Yep. That's right. The Chinese government's newspaper accused Google of censorship. Now, we all know that the Chinese government would never censor the Internet, so clearly, we can definitely believe everything they say. Riiiight.
The facts: Google is serving a malware warning for that page. But, Google claims, that warning is handled by an algorithm. No human hands, etc. And we've seen in the past that's the way this works.
So what do you think? Is Google trying to keep its users from seeing the Chinese authors' complaints? Or is it just their crappy luck that their software flagged the page and now it's getting even more attention?

A former slave and a German bounty hunter become unlikely allies in the battle against a tyrannical plantation owner in this western from visionary director Quentin Tarantino. Two years before the Civil War pits brother-against-brother, German-born fugitive hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award-winner Christoph Waltz) arrives in America determined to capture the outlaw Brittle brothers dead or alive. In the midst of his search, Dr. Schultz crosses paths with Django (Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx), a freed slave and skilled tracker who seeks to rescue his beloved wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from ruthless plantation owner Calvin Candie (Academy Award-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio). Once Django has aided Dr. Schultz in coralling the Brittle brothers, the two team up to capture some of the most wanted men in the South. Meanwhile, Django never loses sight of his mission to FREE Broomhilda from the treacherous slave trade before it's too late. Upon arriving at Candie's nefarious plantation, dubbed Candyland, Django and Dr. Schultz discover that slaves are being groomed for gladiator-like competitions by Candie's malevolent right-hand man Billy Crash (Walton Goggins), and together they skillfully work their way onto the compound for a closer look.

|Anthony Johnson
|c. 1600
Colony of Virginia
|Other names
|Known for
|The most prominent former black indentured servant to obtain freedom, wealth, and slaves of his own.
Anthony Johnson (c1600–1670) was an Angolan who achieved freedom and became a property owner and slaveholder in the Colony of Virginia in the early 17th century. Held as an indentured servant in 1621, he earned his freedom after several years, which was accompanied by a grant of land. He later became a successful tobacco farmer. Notably, he is recognized for attaining great wealth after having been an indentured servant and for being one of the first legally recognized black slaveowners in the English colonies.
Johnson was captured in his native Angola by an enemy tribe and sold to Arab slave traders. He was eventually sold as a slave or indentured servant to a merchant working for the Virginia Company.[1]
The Virginia Muster (census) of 1624 lists his name as "Antonio not given," with "a Negro" written in the notes column, and records that he had arrived in Virginia in 1621 aboard the James.[2] There is some dispute among historians as to whether this was the Antonio who became Anthony Johnson, as the census lists several "Antonios," with this one being considered the most likely.[3] Johnson was sold to a white planter named Bennet as an indentured servant to work on his Virginia tobacco farm. Servants typically worked four to seven years to pay off their passage, room, board, lodging and freedom dues. In the early colonial years, most Africans in the Thirteen Colonies were held under contracts of indentured servitude. With the exception of those indentured for life, they were released after a contracted period[4] with many of the indentured receiving land and equipment after their contracts expired or were bought out. Johnson took ownership of a large plot of farmland after he paid off his indentured contract.[5]
Johnson almost lost his life in the Indian massacre of 1622 when his master's plantation was attacked. The Powhatan, who were the Native Americans dominant in the Tidewater of Virginia, were upset at the encroachment of the colonists into their land. They attacked the settlement on Good Friday and killed 52 of the 57 men where Johnson worked.
The following year (1623) "Mary, a Negro" arrived from England aboard the ship Margaret and was brought to work on the plantation, where she was the only woman. Johnson and Mary married and lived together for over forty years.[6]
Sometime after 1635, Antonio and Mary gained their freedom from indenture. Antonio changed his name to Anthony Johnson.[6] Johnson first enters the legal record as a free man when he purchased a calf in 1647. On 24 July 1651 he acquired 250 acres (100 ha) of land under the headright system by buying five indentured servants, one of whom was his son Richard Johnson. The land was located on the Great Naswattock Creek which flowed into the Pungoteague River in Northampton County, Virginia.:[7]
In 1652 "an unfortunate fire" caused "great losses" for the family, and Johnson applied to the courts for tax relief. The court not only reduced the family's taxes but on 28 February 1652, exempted his wife Mary and their two daughters from paying taxes at all "during their natural lives." At that time taxes were levied on people not property, and under the 1645 Virginia taxation act, "all negro men and women and all other men from the age of 16 to 60 shall be judged tithable."[7][8] It is unclear from the records why the Johnson women were exempted, but the change gave them the same social standing as white women, who were not taxed.[8] During the case, the justices noted that Anthony and Mary "have lived Inhabitants in Virginia (above thirty years)" and had been respected for their "hard labor and known service".[6]
When Johnson was released from servitude, he was legally recognized as a "free Negro" and ran a successful farm. In 1651 he owned 250 acres, and the services of four white and one black indentured servants. In 1653, John Casor, a black indentured servant Johnson had apparently bought in the early 1640s, approached Captain Goldsmith, claiming his indenture had expired seven years earlier and that he was being held illegally. A neighbor, Robert Parker, intervened, and Johnson was persuaded to set Casor free.
Parker offered Casor work, and he signed a term of indenture to the planter. Johnson sued Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654 for the return of Casor. The court initially found in favor of Parker, but Johnson appealed. In 1655, the court reversed its ruling.[9] Finding that Anthony Johnson still "owned" John Casor, the court ordered that he be returned with the court dues paid by Robert Parker.[10] This was the first instance of a judicial determination in the thirteen colonies holding that a person who had committed no crime could be held in servitude for life.[11][12][13][14][15]
Though Casor was the first person declared a slave in a civil case, there were both black and white indentured servants sentenced to lifetime servitude before him. Many historians describe indentured servant John Punch as the first documented slave when he was sentenced to life in servitude as punishment for escaping in 1640.[16][17] The Punch case was significant because it established the disparity between his sentence as a negro and that of the two European servants who escaped with him (one described as Dutch and one as a Scotchman). It is the first documented case of an African sentenced to lifetime servitude in Virginia and is considered one of the first legal cases to make a racial distinction between black and white indentured servants.[18][19]
The Casor suit was significant because it demonstrated the culture and mentality of planters in the mid-17th century. The individuals in this trial made assumptions about the society of Northampton County and their place in it. According to historians T.R. Breen and Stephen Innes, Casor believed that he could form a stronger relationship with his patron Robert Parker than Anthony Johnson had formed over the years with his patrons. Casor considered the dispute to be a matter of patron-client relationship, and this wrongful assumption ultimately lost him the court and the decision. Johnson knew that the local justices shared his basic belief in the sanctity of property. The judge sided with Johnson, although in future legal issues, race played a larger role.[20]
The Casor suit was also significant as an example of how difficult it was for Africans who were indentured servants to keep from being reduced to slavery. Most African immigrants could not read and had no knowledge of the English language. Slave owners found it easy to take advantage and force them into slavery by simply refusing to acknowledge the completion of their indentured contracts.[21] This is what happened in Johnson v. Parker. Even though Casor had two white planters confirming his claim to freedom from his indentured contract with Johnson, the court still ruled in Johnson's favor.[22]
In 1657, Johnson's white neighbor, Edmund Scarborough, forged a letter in which Johnson acknowledged a debt. Johnson did not contest the case. Although Johnson was illiterate and could not have written the letter, the court granted Scarborough 100 acres of Johnson's land to pay off his "debt".[5] In this early period, free blacks enjoyed "relative equality" with the white community. Around 20% of free blacks in Virginia at this time owned their own homes, and half of those were married to white women.[23]
By 1665, racism was becoming more common. The Virginia Colony had passed a law in 1662 that children were born with the status of their mother, according to the Roman principle of partus sequitur ventrem; therefore, all children of slave women were born into slavery. This was a reversal of English common law, which held that for English subjects, children took the status of their father. Africans were considered foreigners and not English subjects.
Johnson moved his family to Somerset County, Maryland. He negotiated a lease on a 300-acre (120 ha) plot of land for ninety-nine years. Johnson used this land to start a tobacco farm, which he named Tories Vineyards.[24]

Just the #PROTIP(S)
On the right way to do the best job at the bike race:
Yo, I'ma let you finish, but never, ever forget that you are representing the race, its sponsors, and the sport of bike racing at all times. AT ALL TIMES!
Know what's happening in the race. Who are the big names? Who's local? Listen to the onstage announcers, watch every day's stage recap, and if you aren't already familiar with bike racing, do a little research into the sport.
Be familiar with race operations and the rest of the crew. Who's your stage manager? Where are the day's jerseys? Are the flowers here? Where's volunteer sign-in? (You will get asked that a lot.)
If you are given the opportunity to choose your podium dresses, remember that it will be hot/rainy/freezing/windy, and you will be outside onstage. Nothing too short, nothing that will fly up in the wind, nothing that will show sweat or wrinkle. Now is not the time to experiment.
If you are working with a partner, mirror your hair–if your chignon rests on the right side of your head, your partner's should rest on the left. Same goes for your accessories–flowers, scarves, jaunty top-hats. Looking at your partner should be just like looking into a mirror.
How do you look from behind, head to toe? Remember that you will be seen from behind a fair percentage of the time you are onstage, and groom yourself accordingly. I am talking to you, girl-who-thinks-she-can-get-away-with-halfassing-her-flatiron-job.
Have your jerseys, flowers, trophies, everything you will need while you're onstage double-checked and in place. If you have a stage assistant, this makes things easier. If not, set everything up so it will be within reach onstage well before the ceremony begins.
Know your VIPs & dignitaries and which award they are presenting. Instruct them on what they will do onstage in two simple sentences BEFORE you are onstage. "After I zip the jersey, you will stand with the rider for photos for about five seconds. Then please step to the side for a moment so we can do the podium photo." If they need a quick demo on how to put a jersey on a rider, now is a great time to do it.
Spit out your gum!
Check yourself one last time…how do you look? Awesome? SMILE! This is going to be fun.
This is not about you! This is about tradition, celebration, and recognition of the riders, the sponsors, and the sport.
Podium hands never touch, never push, and never point. An open, graceful hand and a smile work just as well to guide people, and they are so much more telegenic. I cannot stress this enough: No. Touching.
When you give the rider anything–trophy, flowers, plushie–present it, don't just shove it at him/her. This is why it is an awards presentation. Both hands on the item you are handing over, smile, and say something both quick and nice like "Great ride!" or "Well done!"
Jerseys should be presented from the side, like a matador. One presenter, one zipper. (If you're lucky, you'll get velcro instead of a zipper.)
Podiums will generally be first, second, and third on the day's stage and the race classification leaders. Second & third place on the day receive flowers and Euro-style kisses (left cheek, then right cheek), then should be podium-handed onto the podium. The stage winner and classification leaders receive flowers/trophies/jerseys, Euro-style kisses, AND podium photos.
For podium photos, clasp hands with your partner behind the rider. Lean in, plant the kiss, then squeeze her hand to signal that it's time to lean out and smile for photos. Keep your other hand by your side or on your hip and both feet on the ground.
After the last presentation, remember that you're offstage, not off-duty–there are plenty of spectators, media, and race staff around. Think carefully before you get too sassy on social media. Now go get some dinner, and rest up–you did a great job.

Hexy Wall: Adaptable Magnetic Geometrical Storage
Whether you are looking for a new storage unit or would like to have sculptural design in your house, consider the Hexy Wall. It's an adaptable structure that carries with it a certain timelessness and beauty that many other practical storage units don't have.
The Hexy Wall is the creation of Mika Gilmore, a graduate of the Boston Architectural College, and although the hexagonal storage unit has been done before throughout the years, Gilmore has designed the Hexy Wall like no other hexagonal wall before it.
The Hexy Wall is sold in clusters. There are three hexagons per cluster and each cluster can stack onto the other. These clusters can stack onto one another in many different ways, allowing the owner to choose how they want to shape their Hexy Wall at any time. Gilmore's design captures the essence of sustainable and modern design: the ability for the design itself to adapt with time.
There are different depths available with the Hexy Wall. This feature can give an added depth to the unit as the whole. For extra stability, the clusters attach with the strong force of super magnets.
As an extended option, the Hexy Wall can be made available with hexagonal drawers, which utilize the entire space within each hexagon.
Lastly, the Hexy Wall can be made in a variety of colors and with different types of wood.
Price per cluster: $175-$300. The Hexy Wall is currently available at Room 68.

These are neat... BUT...
Is there any way to view the website without subscribing to the mailing list? I refuse to enter my email just to VIEW a website.
But the problem is that the unit's not practical. You can see in the photos that books can't be stored upright easily. Maybe, this would okay as a room divider, but it's not useful as a bookcase.
Ivlichelle, Room 68 is a new design store in Boston and should have their full website up within the next few weeks. No email will be required to visit the site. Right now the site is simply a static page with basic info.
Palmetto, I agree regarding the use of the Hexy Wall as a bookshelf. But with the drawers, and even without, this piece is very practical. Come check it out if you're in the area.
It would be good for fabric storage.
These are fantastic! I've been looking for something sculptural and easy to install. And functional...I NEED these. I can see pinning up photos, cards, or using it to store/sort mail, or maybe just temporarily hold those dvds I've been meaning to return.
These are awesome...I love how you can restack and reconfigure them anyway you need them. I think what I also like about them is that it is both storage and display. I really like how the books don't stand up straight, all the angles of the books really adds to the overall aesthetic. Hope to see more of her work in the future!
these are the best things i have ever seen for incredible, structural storage. They can be moved around and re-configured so easily, unlike any traditional book shelf or box-shaped storage piece. Excellent design Mika
I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'd use these for. Not books, obviously, or anything rectangular. Not good for stacking dishes on, either.
They're cool looking, but I can't think of a practical use for them. (The only thing I can come up with is a sock drawer. And no one needs that many sock drawers).
Perhaps I'm missing an obvious answer -- those of you who think they look useful, what would you use them for?
I designed the Hexy Wall to be a versatile storage wall for any space. It differs from traditional book shelf storage intentionally. I have used my Hexy Wall for a variety of storage purposes. As an artist / designer it stores rolled drawings, trace paper, markers, and design books perfectly to my liking. They store books just fine, only differently than we are used to. It is also great for magazines, nick-nacks, cook books, fabric, jars filled with buttons or other random items, stationary, pads of paper, etc.... it really is up to the user, but is completely functional in a variety of different ways, and in a variety of different configurations. If you wish to see pictures of the Hexy Wall in an apartment environment at maximum usage let me know and I will be happy to email them to you!

Greater efforts are needed to identify and lock up mentally ill people who are dangerous, a top National Rifle Association official responding to the recent Washington Navy Yard shootings said Sunday.
The nation's mental health system is "in complete breakdown," resulting in not enough of the mentally ill being committed to psychiatric hospitals, National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre told NBC's "Meet the Press."
"If we leave these homicidal maniacs on the street … they're going to kill," he said. "They need to be committed is what they need to be. If they are committed, they're not at the Naval Yard."
Aaron Alexis, the IT contractor who killed 12 people inside a Navy Yard building last week, had a history of violent outbursts, had told police he was hearing voices and was in the early stages of being treated by the Veterans Administration for serious mental problems.
Despite Alexis' history, weaknesses in federal laws aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill and criminals enabled him to clear a background check and obtain a shotgun that he used in the shooting from a Northern Virginia gun shop.
Doctors who treated Alexis should have carried out "a complete mental health status exam," Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., told CBS' "Face the Nation."
"We have to make it where the health care professionals in this country, when they see somebody that is having symptoms of psychosis or schizophrenia, that they can act on that by notifying the 'do not sell' list so that people can't buy guns," he said. "He (Alexis) bought a gun in spite of the fact that at several interchanges people were aware of his psychosis."
At the same time, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., the co-author of a bill to expand background checks to more gun purchasers, acknowledged the bill remains stalled in the Senate. He told CBS he has no intention of renewing his effort to pass the measure in light of the Navy Yard shootings unless he seems movement on the part of the opponents of the bill.
"I'm not going to go out there and just beat the drum for the sake of beating the drum," he said. "There has to be people willing to move off the position they've taken, and they've got to come to that conclusion themselves."

The nation's mental health system is "in complete breakdown," resulting in not enough of the mentally ill being committed to psychiatric hospitals, National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre told NBC's "Meet the Press."
Translation: "It's not our fault that "homicidal maniacs" are running around loose."
Nice try, Mr. LaPierre, but no cigar.
What's missing in your specious argument is that it's the COMBINATION of "homicidal maniacs" who ALSO have easy access to high power, semi-automatic firearms that's causing the bulk of these mass murders.
Remove one (or the other) item from the equation and most of these absolutely senseless mass killings that seem to now be on the rise in the USA would most likely come to a screeching, grinding halt.
And, what about the OTHER 16,000+ people who are killed every year in the United States by firearms? Are you now saying that ALL of those others were killed by "homicidal maniacs" as well?
The bottom line here is that, regardless of who killed them, these 16,000+ people are ALL now just as dead as the 13 who were killed at the Washington Navy Yard last week by your so-called "homicidal maniac".
Or, to put it another way, they were ALL killed by ordinary people (who, thanks to to the ongoing work of you and your like-minded cronies), continue to have FAR too easy access to such lethal weaponry.
A quote from a quote:
"Greater efforts are needed to identify and lock up mentally ill people"
Yeah. I concur. We should go to more efforts to identify and lock up physically ill people, too.
Or we could look at it as a curable matter. Imprison, or cure?
PS – Thanks.
Andrea Yates drowned her seven children in a bathtub. She was released against medical advice from a mental health facility just days earlier. Her insurance refused to pay for additional care.
All the people who have committed recent mass killings had documented mental health issues.
Perhaps guns are too easily obtained. I can't speak to that, I don't own one. If someone wants to kill people, they will find a way.
We have too many people who are severely mentally ill who are not being treated.
The democrats would like to solve the gun issue by getting rid of them. There has to be compromise on both sides.

CHADRON, Neb. • Local and state officers are searching a wooded area in far northwest Nebraska for a man wanted on Utah warrants.
Dawes County Sheriff Karl Dailey says the hunt began about 5:30 p.m. Monday for Justin Pierce and continued overnight.

Dailey says deputies were trying to serve arrest warrants on Pierce at his residence near Crawford when Pierce fled in in a pickup. Dailey says Pierce soon left the truck and ran into nearby woods. Officers cordoned off about 4 square miles where he was believed to be hiding.
Dailey says he's confident Pierce will be caught Tuesday or that Pierce will come in out of the cold and surrender. The overnight low in nearby Chadron was 15.
Dailey says Pierce is not considered dangerous.

WASHINGTON — In a strong move to protect the privacy of Americans as they use the Internet on their smartphones and tablets, the Federal Trade Commission on Friday said the mobile industry should include a do-not-track feature in software and apps, and take other steps to safeguard personal information.
The staff report, which was approved by the commission, is nonbinding but is an indication of how seriously the agency is focused on mobile privacy. As if to emphasize that, the commission separately fined Path, a social networking app, $800,000. It charged the company with violating federal privacy protections for children by collecting personal information on underage users, including almost everyone in users' address books.

PHOTO GALLERY: All-County boys' golf first team
Image 1 of 6
Player of the Year: Chase Koepka, Cardinal Newman, junior( MARK RANDALL, Sun Sentinel / December 8, 2010 )
SEASON HIGHLIGHT: Set the tournament record of 10 under par (69-65-134) this year at the Qdoba Tournament of Champions in Davenport. Tied for 11th at the Class 1A state tournament with an even par 69-75-144 and helped the Crusaders win their first state title since 1985.
OF NOTE: Had a career-best 35.9 scoring average for nine holes. Took third in the Bobby Chapman Invitational in September in Spartanburg, N.C., and won the King's Invitational with a 72. Completed the entire season 1-under par for all of his matches. Helped Cardinal Newman finish undefeated at 76-0 including the state title and four invitational tournaments. Cardinal Newman's team final two-day score of 575 was the third lowest in state tournament history.
ATHLETE'S QUOTE: "Our goal was to go undefeated and win states and we did it. We played without a couple of players the whole season and other guys stepped up when we had to. It was a whole team effort. Walking up the 18th fairway at states with everyone cheering knowing that we finally got the monkey off our back and won states was a big relief moment. I learned so much. This season was so much fun."

Although serious complications are rare during labor, some problems can develop during this time. Some of the more common complications include:
When the amniotic sac ruptures, the normal color of the amniotic fluid is clear. However, if the amniotic fluid is greenish or brown in color, it may indicate fetal meconium, which is normally passed after birth as the baby's first bowel movement. Meconium in the amniotic fluid may be associated with fetal distress. A woman should consult her healthcare provider immediately.
The fetal heart rate during labor is a good indicator of how the fetus is handling the contractions of labor. The heart rate is usually electronically monitored during labor, with the normal range varying between 120 to 160 beats per minute. If a fetus appears to be in distress, immediate action can be taken, such as giving the mother oxygen, increasing fluids, and changing the mother's position.
The normal position for the fetus during birth is head-down, facing the mother's back. However, sometimes a fetus is not in the right position, making delivery more difficult through the birth canal. There are several abnormal positions for a fetus, including the following:
Positioned head-down but facing the mother's front
Positioned with the face down into the mother's pelvis, instead of the top of the fetal head
Positioned with the brow down in the mother's pelvis
Positioned breech (where the buttocks or feet are down first in the mother's pelvis)
Positioned with one shoulder in the mother's pelvis
Depending on the position, a health care provider may try to deliver the fetus as it presents itself, attempt to turn the fetus before delivery, or perform a cesarean delivery.
Delivery is the moment when the fetus, followed by the placenta, exits the mother's body. In preparation for the delivery, a woman may be moved into a birthing room or delivery room, or she may remain in the same room for both labor and delivery. Fathers or partners are encouraged to be actively involved in the process of childbirth by helping with relaxation techniques and breathing exercises.
Positions for delivery may vary from squatting, sitting, to semi-sitting positions (between lying down and sitting up). With semi-sitting positions, gravity can help the mother push the baby through the birth canal. The type of position for delivery depends on the preference of both the mother and the health care provider, as well as the health of the fetus.
During the delivery process, the medical personnel will continue to monitor the mother's vital signs (i.e., blood pressure and pulse) and the fetal heart rate. The health care provider will examine the cervical opening to determine the position of the fetus' head and will continue to support and guide the mother in her pushing efforts.
Delivery can be done either vaginally or by cesarean section (C-section).
During a vaginal delivery, the health care provider will assist the fetus' head and chin out of the vagina when it becomes visible. Once the head is delivered, the health care provider exerts gentle downward traction on the head to deliver the shoulder, followed by the rest of the body. The baby rotates itself as the last movement of labor.
In some cases, the vaginal opening does not stretch enough to accommodate the fetus. It may be necessary to expedite delivery, for example, if the baby is in distress. In such cases, the health care provider may perform an episiotomy -- an incision through the vaginal wall and the perineum (the area between the thighs, extending from the anus to the vaginal opening) to help deliver the fetus. Episiotomies are not needed for every delivery and are not routinely performed.
After the delivery of the baby, the mother is asked to continue to push during the next few uterine contractions to deliver the placenta. Once the placenta is delivered, any tear or episiotomy is repaired. The mother is usually given oxytocin (a drug administered either by an injection into the muscles or intravenously that is used to contract the uterus) and the uterus is massaged to help it contract, and to help prevent excessive bleeding from occurring.
If a woman is unable to deliver the fetus vaginally, the fetus is delivered surgically, by performing a cesarean section. Cesarean sections are usually performed in an operating room or a designated delivery room. Some cesarean sections are planned and scheduled accordingly, while others may be performed as a result of complications that occur during labor.
Once the anesthesia has taken effect, an abdominal incision is made, and an opening is made in the uterus. The amniotic sac is opened, and the baby is delivered through the opening. The woman may feel some pressure and/or a pulling sensation.
Following the delivery of the baby, the health care provider will stitch the uterine and abdominal incision. After a cesarean or vaginal delivery, women will have some bleeding.
There are several conditions which may make having a baby by cesarean section more likely. These include:
Previous cesarean section
Fetal distress
Abnormal delivery presentation (i.e., breech, shoulder, face)
A labor that fails to progress or does not progress normally
Placental complications. One example is placenta previa, in which the placenta blocks the cervix. This raises the risk that the placenta will become detached too soon from the uterus.
Twins or other multiples
