Solving gun violence in the US in today's insane political climate requires a solution that makes it painless for everyone.
First that this idea even needs to be broached in the first place is ridiculous especially given the lack of clarity in the second amendment (eg it does not specify types of arms so that should be handled by laws not as a "do what you will free for all").
That said it seems there are some major elements that would be necessary to reduce gun deaths in the US and there are some obfuscating interests embodied in the NRA that must be sidestepped or accommodated in the solution.
Four main areas of focus jump out to reduce gun deaths:
1) "mass killings" (included in this would be the 2 or 3 person shootings as well as as Newtown or Aurora types)
2) Accidental shootings
3) Non-owner shootings (eg the shooter is not the owner of the gun)
4) "black market" trading
Added to these I would say the parameter that makes gun control legislation difficult is gun manufacturer revenue stream protection using the second amendment as a shill.
So what are the necessary parameters to make something happen vs. the absurdity of what is going to happen over the next few months in Washington:
1) Figure out a way that shifting policy creates more revenue for gun manufacturers so they get the NRA on board
2) Make sure that guns cannot be used in public places or by someone other than their owner
The Idea - Mandatory gun locks and universal kill switches.
On locks, all responsible gun owners have gun safes. Why not move the lock to the gun's trigger mechanism either with a combination code or biometric locks. That would prevent unauthorized use of the gun by anyone but the owner.
On kill switches, in the same locking mechanism put a chip and actuator that freezes the locking mechanism mentioned above when it receives a certain modulated radio signal.
If mandatory then all existing guns will have to be refitted with the new bolt mechanism creating revenue streams for the gun manufacturers and on all new guns they can charge more creating more revenue.

pat gilbert 100+Feb 11 2013: The percentage of people who die from mass shootings is way less than that who die from lightning.
All of the mass shootings were associated with Psychiatric drugs
The culture has adopted the meme that the solution is violence.
The more gun control is implemented the more gun violence goes up, E. G. in Chicago or Washington DC
Feb 11 2013: Mass shootings account for less than 5% of all gun homicides in America. And although it is true that gun crime will spike after gun controls are implemented the overall homicide and gun homicide rates would eventually drop.
The last couple of generations have grown up in a drive-thru fast food mentality where we expect results in 5 minutes or less. The gun issue would take years to resolve.
And here is the problem. Handguns account for 98% of all gun homicides in America and gun crime in general. They are small, concealable and convenient to the criminal who wishes to use it. Because there are severe restrictions on law enforcement, it emboldens those criminals even more.
Countries that have strict handgun laws also experience much lower gun and overall homicide rates.
When Great Britain implemented the handgun ban gun crime spiked but after 2 years started to drop dramatically as the guns were picked off of the streets. In fact since that ban, the overall homicide rate in GB dropped 75% with guns accounting for only 8% of all homicides. In American, guns account for 68.3% of all homicides.
Canada, whose society experiences a great influence of American culture has strict handgun possession laws. As such, guns account for only 28.3% of all homicides. In comparing gun homicides per capita, you have a 7x greater chance of dying from a gun homicide in the US than in Canada.
Then we look at a nation like Switzerland who has mandatory gun possession laws. Their gun homicide rate is 11x that of Great Britain where 72% of all homicides in that nation come from an end of a bullet.
Cleaning up the gun problem will be a long and arduous effort.
For me I liken the gun problem like this.
If you walk into a room and see glass smashed all over the floor.
Do you sweep it up knowing that you might not get all the pieces but at least the floor is safer to cross??
Or do you smash more onto the floor??
Andy LeeFeb 13 2013: Dwayne you are making up numbers. The firearm homicide rate in the United States is approximately three times that of Canada and the United states has slightly more than nine times the population. Canadian census report shows the population to be approximatelt 34 million while the United States has approximately 314 million. The state of California has more citizens than the enitre nation of Canada. Furthermore the number of people killed without the use of firearms is nearly equal 100,000 citizens. Please stop making up numbers to support you argument that we the citizens of America shouldn't be allowed to own firearms because you can't. Here are a few references. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06000.htmlhttp://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/12-581-x/2012000/pop-eng.htm#t01http://politicalcalculations.blogspot.com/2011/03/us-vs-canada-homicide-modi-operandi.html Hello Peter, percentages are not per capita, "75% decline" is not per capita, " In American, X95account for 68.3% of all homicides." is not a per capita number, "28.3% of all homicides" is not a percapita number. These are percentages of something other than 100,000 people.
Feb 13 2013: The numbers he quotes are per capita so population difference is irrelevant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate It's not hatd to find if you look.Even the numbers in your own link are per capita????????????
Comment deleted
Feb 11 2013: It is the idea that celebrities try to influence the dangers of guns yet make their living from violent entertainment. Which creates the meme that when you are in a tight spot the solution is always violence. This is the ultimate in hypocrisy.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Police took one man into custody following a SWAT situation in Spokane Valley.
It started around midnight Thursday at 21st and Progress.
Authorities say it started as a domestic violence situation between a husband and wife. The man allegedly fired three shots inside the home and barricaded himself in the basement. The woman then called police.
"She was inside the house the whole time. [She] didn't feel safe leave the house. We contacted the SWAT team to get her out of there safely," Sgt. Dave Ellis of the Spokane Co. Sheriff's Office said.
Several neighboring homes were evacuated during the standoff.
The man gave himself up to officers shortly after 1 a.m.
Police have not yet said what charges the man will face.

Greetings! I purchased this product from Flipkart, for my sister and this is HER REVIEW for the product:
1. Very happy that the product reached me in LESS THAN 24 HOURS. Thank you Flipkart and WS Sellers. I loved how they had CAREFULLY PACKED the product ensuring that no damage occurs to the product during delivery (The straightener inside its box PLUS another bigger sized box with cushion balloons for shock absorption).

(Expand)
I've just bought this product and it is working very well. I have wavy hair, and i've used this straightner thrice so far. with the right hair products, it has given good results. Although i would want to mention here that this straightner does not have Temperature Control. It reaches a good level of heat but and if u have long, thick hair u might want to switch it off in the middle of straightening to protect ur hair and the product as well from over heating.
I will get back to u after having used it for a substantial period. Good Luck!
This product is amazing and it would give the silk and smooth touch to your hair. I was looking for a straightener for a quite a long time and i must say it was worth waiting for this one. My hair texture is very wavy and thick and this straightener makes your hair so manageable that you would love this. And one thing i want to mention here that "FlipKart" is having the best world delivery system, i have placed the order yesterday and i received in one day :) Thank you so much. Now i can also have manageable hair.

"Portability is going to cost local governments a lot of money."
"Portability is going to shift a lot of taxes from homesteaded property to non-homesteaded property (business, etc.)."
How can portability cost governments anything?
Unless you cut spending, you haven't lost any funding or cost anyone a dime. So portability can't cost local governments money because it doesn't take anything away from them. Portability allows people to keep what they've rightfully accrued through Save Our Homes without losing it if they decide to move.
What may well cost local governments money is the new law (passed last spring, FS200.065) restricting the rate of spending increases by local governments from year to year.
Florida's new law dictates that increases in property tax spending will be limited to the per capita income levels of it's citizens each year (plus new construction). What may well cost taxpayers money is the way funding may be shifted from property taxes to other "non-ad valorem" funding sources. That's not happening because of the January amendment, it's happening because local governments are trying to preserve additional funding sources.
The January amendment is designed to save people money by allowing them to keep Save Our Homes through portability. Portability saves taxpayers money and doesn't take away anything government currently has.
Does portability cause a dramatic shift of taxes from homeowners to non-homeowners (business, etc.)? Portability doesn't create a decrease in anyone's value that would need to be made up by a tax increase on anyone else. It does allow homeowners to keep what they already have. It encourages people to move into new homes without penalty. There is a tremendous amount of economic activity in Florida directly tied to the real estate market. Do opponents want to see people continue to be bound in their homes, faced with no possibility of buying again in Florida?
At the present time, we have virtually no new residential construction because the real estate market is frozen due to the lack of portability. Having portability will enable people to move and more new homes will be built as the market returns to normal. New homes created through people having portability will create additional taxable value and additional taxes.
Portability will have a positive impact on tax rolls, not a negative one. Any new value on the tax roll means more money for local governments, not less.
The only time a real shift in existing taxes paid will occur is when a Floridian who had homestead in another county moves into a home in Volusia County where the new taxable value is less than that of the preceding Volusia occupant.
So what's the bottom line?
Portability may well create additional taxes, not fewer taxes as new homes are constructed and occupied. Taxable values on existing homesteaded properties will not go down, they will continue to rise at 3 percent or the consumer price index, whichever is less. The real estate market will be released from the stranglehold of property taxes keeping people from moving within the state of Florida. Additional taxes will be generated from the new homes sold to those people now free to move without property tax penalty.
With the already enacted spending cap in place and the amendment's value cap for non-homesteaded properties, local governments will not be able to receive additional revenues through millage magic (keeping the rate the same and claiming to have no additional revenues).
Portability, simply put, allows Floridians to be able to move to new homes. It has potential for kick-starting a severely depressed real estate market and enabling all Floridians to safely remain homeowners in existing or new homes. It is a positive move in negative times.
Morgan B. Gilreath, Jr. is the Volusia County property appraiser. His third installment on tax reform will appear in next week's paper.

Avid mobile photographers will love the Nokia Lumia 1020's exact controls, but casual users should stick to cheaper camera phones.
Six HDMI inputs, easy iPod connectivity, and sweet sound quality make the Pioneer VSX-1020-K an excellent midrange AV receiver, although it's missing some minor HDMI features.
Pricing not available
With a small screen for its price, we can't justify the TouchSmart 300 as a home entertainment all-in-one PC. It's also slower than more affordable midtowers, so you can spend less for more productivity. This leaves HP's touch-based software as the TouchSmart 300's primary selling point. We'd recommend this PC in the kitchen, but it's less appealing elsewhere.
The HP LaserJet 1020 is a good deal for home users who have light print needs, but just a little bit more money can get you more features and better print quality.
The unlocked version sells for $549 and can be used on either AT&T or T-Mobile.
Nokia's ultimate camera phone can take some dazzling shots, even if you're more of a casual photographer. Here are some examples of what it can do, and what we found didn't work so well.
Microsoft had to change its Windows Phone 8 architecture to accommodate the Nokia Lumia 1020p's super high-res image capture and processing.
Nokia's 41-megapixel sensor is back, and with its new features, this may be the best camera to end up in a smartphone -- again.
Nokia's updating all the Lumia phones you can buy in the UK, all at once, bringing a boatload of new features to your Windows Phone from today.
Nokia's "Lumia Black" update is ready to go on AT&T's Lumia 1020 smartphone.

What is a Low Smoke Cable?
A low smoke cable has a LSZH sheath. LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen and refers to the compound making up the sheath of a cable. In the event of a fire, this type of sheath will emit very low levels of smoke, and non-toxic levels of poisonous halogen gases (typically under 0.5% HCl emission).
After the King's Cross fire in London in 1987 it became mandatory to use this type of sheathing on all London Underground cables since the majority of fatalaties occurred through gas and smoke inhalation rather than directly from the fire itself. This type of sheathing is mainly recommended for use in highly populated enclosed public areas.
Other equivalent terms for this type of sheathing are LSHF (Low Smoke Halogen Free), LS0H (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), 0HLS (Zero Halogen Low Smoke).

Henry Teichert, a modest man who answered a call to serve his family and community as the leader of a historic California construction company, died Tuesday at his east Sacramento home. He was 96.
Teichert was the patriarch of a prominent Sacramento family and a pillar of the business establishment. As president and then chairman of Teichert Inc. for 35 years, he introduced modern management techniques as the companys operations expanded throughout the state. He modeled strong values of business ethics, civic involvement and caring for others.
Sacramento and our entire state have lost a true icon of business and community with the passing of Henry Teichert, state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said. The Teichert family is an integral part of Sacramentos storied history, and the company he guided for more than three decades literally helped to build our state.
Teichert was the grandson of Adolph Teichert Sr., a German immigrant and stonemason who started a paving company in Sacramento in 1887. The founder was joined by his son, Adolph Jr., in 1912 to form A. Teichert & Son, which literally laid the foundation for much of the capital city from street curbs to major freeways with concrete pavement that still bears the family name. The company holds the oldest active contractors license in the state: No. 8.
Adolph Teichert Jr.s youngest son, Henry got his first job in the family business at 10, standing at a conveyor belt and picking out loose tool parts before they fell into a rock crusher. He spent a summer hand-forming and installing adobe bricks for the restoration of Sutters Fort in 1937.
His first career choice, however, was law. He graduated from Boalt Hall law school at UC Berkeley in 1949 and joined top attorneys Bruce Allen, Milton Schwartz and Martin McDonough to found one of the first group law practices in Sacramento. The firm became McDonough Holland & Allen, which was a legal powerhouse in the capital for many years before dissolving in 2010.
But when Henry Teicherts father died in 1953 with no heirs groomed to take over the family business, he stepped up. He left the law to run the company as president from 1958 to 1972 and chairman of the board from 1972 to 1993.
He was the third generation to run the company, and a lot of family businesses dont last that long, said Tom Hammerv, a longtime friend and former Teichert board member. It was a matter of survival.
Teichert transformed his familys business from an entrepreneurial operation to a corporate organization. He reconfigured and refined the companys lines of business, splitting its manufacturing of building materials from its construction side. Lacking experience in construction, he developed professional managers from within the company. He instigated seminars, management retreats and training programs to help keep the company competitive in the construction industry.
Part of it was lack of confidence, he told The Bee in 1987. I didnt know what the hell I was doing, and I needed counsel from anywhere I could get it.
Today, Teichert Inc. is a multimillion-dollar general contractor that mines rock and makes aggregate, ready-mix concrete and other building materials. It builds runways, sidewalks, roads, freeways and foundation structures for new housing developments, office buildings and airports. The companys trademark bright-green trucks are ubiquitous at construction projects all over California.
The company is led by the familys fourth and fifth generations. Henry Teicherts nephew, Judv Riggs, is president and chief executive officer. Teicherts granddaughter, Mary Rotelli, is chief operating officer.
He made good choices, Hammer said. He brought in good people and delegated a lot. That gave him time to focus on other things.
Teichert played a leading role in many business, civic and social organizations. He was a past president and active member of the Sacramento Rotary Club for more than 50 years. He was a longtime member of the Sutter Club, served on the board of El Dorado Savings Bank and participated in an annual downtown mens prayer breakfast for many years.
I served with him on the El Dorado Savings Bank board, Hammer said. He was very ethical. Hardly a meeting went by that Henry didnt talk about what was the right thing to do.
Teichert was an early supporter of fair housing laws during the civil rights movement. In 1968, he joined a small group of local business leaders who sponsored the National Urban League in establishing a chapter in Sacramento to improve job and educational opportunities for African Americans in Northern California.
Henry had a vision more than 40 years ago that recognized the importance of providing assistance and help in the community, said James Shelby, president and chief executive officer of the Sacramento Urban League. He saw the challenges and answered the need.
Born Sept. 6, 1917, in Sacramento, Henry Teichert was the third of four children raised by Augusta Quassv and Adolph Teichert Jr. He grew up in east Sacramento and graduated from Sacramento High School. After earning an English degree from UC Berkeley in 1939, he spent five years as an Army Air Force intelligence officer and served in China and India during World War II.
He had five children with his wife of 56 years, the former Wendy Downey, who died in 2003. He is survived by sons Fred, Jonathan and Isaiah; daughters, Wendy-Marie and Rose Grimm; 18 grandchildren; and 20 great-grandchildren.
Teichert enjoyed eclectic hobbies, including duck hunting, beekeeping, making olive oil and woodcarving. He had a playful sense of humor that included dressing up at Halloween and wearing special shirts and hats for the annual Fourth of July parade in his east Sacramento neighborhood.
An accomplished bagpipe player, he enjoyed dressing in full Scottish regalia and performing at friends weddings. After stepping down from Teichert Inc., he remodeled old homes with a group of retirees.
He had lifelong friendships with many people in Sacramento, said his son Fredv.
Despite his wealth and influence in the community, Teichert was disarmingly soft-spoken and low-key in person. An unassuming man of simple tastes, he shunned the trappings of a high-powered business executive.
The head of Teichert always drove a Cadillac, and the second-in-charge drove a Buick, and the third drove a big Chevrolet, longtime friend and Sacramento historian Meadv Kibbeyv said. Henry didnt want to drive his fathers Cadillac. He drove a Volkswagen, which blew up the whole corporate ladder. He told me, Maybe I should just park a Cadillac by the office.
In a 1987 profile story, Teichert told The Bee that when he wanted to impress someone usually a grandchild or great-grandchild he drove to Sutters Fort and pointed out the adobe bricks he made by hand.
Thats going to be here when were all dead and gone, I tell them long after all the highways have been repaved.
A visitation is set for noon to 5 p.m. Oct. 23 at W.F. Gormley & Sons, 2015 Capitol Ave., Sacramento. A funeral is set for 2 p.m. Oct. 24 at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 2620 Capitol Ave., Sacramento.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Rotary Polio Plus program or Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento.

Interesting SouthInteresting people. Interesting ideas. An evening of interestingness.
On the hunt…And IS4 likely to be August…
Just a quick update. We thought we were on to a winning venue.
◌ Intimate, yet spacious.
◌ Illustrious, but unpretentious.
◌ Awesome, but not awe-striking
(is "awe-striking" a word…and if it's hyphenated, is it just two words trying to pass themselves off as a single?).
Anyway, it would have brought the price down significantly, allowing us to make it as accessible as possible (we've wanted to stay true to the idea that the only barrier to attending, aside from a limited number of seats, would be attendees' level of curiosity).
Sadly the venue's not worked out so we're back on the search for an appropriate venue and are speaking with a few alternatives.
Given this, it's likely that it will be held in August (like IS3…so there is a sort of chronological symetry).
We'll keep you posted when there's news.
Call for speakers for IS4
A number of people have sent in potential topics for the next Interesting South, with the date likely to be some time in June 2010.
Some are from people who'd like to speak. Others are suggestions from people who know of someone with a different take on the world, or have done something different.
If that sounds familiar and you'd like to nominate a speaker, please click here to download a topic form. If you don't have all the information, just the broad brushstrokes, don't worry. Send it in anyway as there's lots of time before we need more detail.
Viva ideas!
And the winner was…
Last night was FBi Radio and Time Out's Sydney Music Arts and Culture Awards (or, to those-in-the-know, the SMACs)! This was the 2nd annual SMAC (ouch), dedicated to outing things-that-add-zing to Sydney.
It was a great night, with a great group of nominees (would love to see all these folks at the next IS!). As FBi co-runs the SMACs, its a pity they can't be nominated. The not-for-profit station is a real engine to making Sydney a more wonderful place – with a crew that's full of heart and committed to boosting the good stuff. And of course, Time Out's been great at making that good stuff easy to find.
Dan Ilic of Hungry Beast fame was the very game MC.
So, you're probably thinking WHO WON, ALREADY?! The Marrickville collective running the Red Rattler, that's who.
Being nominated was huge and it was great to have been in the company of such a worthy field. Others in our category (Best Collective) included Even Books, Trust Fun and the Imperial Panda Festival. Check them out. They all look set to do interesting stuff in 2010.
We've been nominated…
How sweet is this: Interesting South has been nominated for a Sydney, Music, Arts & Culture Award, under the category "Best Collective". The awards are run by Sydney's independent, community-based radio station, FBi and Time Out.
We'd love your support. It involves just a few mouse clicks and voters are entered in a draw for some great stuff.
Just hit the SMAC logo, below, to vote and get more info. Interesting South appears at the bottom of the page…
Good cause…
We wanted to share a note received from Sarah Garnett, founder of the Benjamin Andrew Footpath Library.
I received today a cheque for $456 being a donation from Interesting South to The Benjamin Andrew Footpath Library – what a great surprise that was! Thanks so much! …
Your donation will help us with ongoing expenses like getting some of our own ideas up and running to promote The Footpath Library.
Thanks again,
All the best
Sarah Garnett
The Benjamin Andrew Footpath Library
Typically we film Interesting South, but as the ABC filmed the latest event, we cancelled our own crew and wound up in the black (we aim to be neither black nor red, but positively neutral…if that makes sense).
As a result around $1,500 was split between 3 charities – The Benjamin Andrew Footpath Library, Mission Australia's early learning initiatives and Kiva. All chosen because in different ways, they're all about spreading ideas.
IS relies on it's community to make things work – speakers (who do it for the love of their topic), organisers (who do it for the love of sharing ideas) and the audience (who pay in terms of time and ticket money) – so the note's really to all these people.
Thanks for the thanks
The number of people who've come up with words of support and encouragement to the organisers after last night has been great.
A couple things worth mentioning -
One person talked about not having read the programme, but when Tim L asked the audience to tell the person sitting next to them what they were interested in (hearing speakers speak about), he found it a bit uncomfortable:
Him: "Um, so, what interests you?"
Her: "Oral Sex"
(He was unaware of Prof. Basil Donovan's upcoming talk entitled, Oral sex is the new black). Anyway, what an icebreaker.
Like many of the team pulling together IS3, I missed dinner so I grabbed a banana at the interval. I have to admit I had an uncomfortable moment when I realised I was chatting to the good professor chomping on a banana. Suddenly I felt a bit self-conscious. The thought popped into my head "Freud would have a field day."
This is the third event and each time I'm struck by how different things engage different people. The same talk will ring totally different bells with different people.
Check out Tim Longhurst's quick run through on the speakers, as told through Google's Street View.
Hats off to Charlie Perry for not just thinking about someone who has something to put on stage, but following through and sending in a nomination form for IS4 (Charlie – Please send me your contact details. Remo gave me an extra IS T-Shirt and it's yours).
Everyone knows of someone with a tale to tell. It might be quirky. It might be challenging. It might be odd. It might be fun. There are few forums where the criteria for talks is so open. So if you know of someone who's got something engaging to say, please click on the link with the topic form, fill it out and send it in.
There's nothing decided yet for IS4 (date? venue?), but nothing helps move things along quicker than a bucket of stories that need to be told.
Thanks to everyone…
for taking part in last evening's 3rd Interesting South. What a night!
I'll write up more a little later (I'm clearing the car out of extension chords, a bell, a few left over bananas and mugs…) but really wanted to mention Tim Buesing and Lukasz Karluk of Holler. A number of people commented after the break on their clever work, which was on display in the bar area. Facing their TV monitors you could be instantly transformed into Ziggy Stardust…or a have a digital set of street-smart headphones magically dropped on your head. The work was called Face OFF and the guys have done lots of other stuff that meld people into technology.
But Patrick Hofmann's right: why talk in words, when seeing stuff is so much better! Here's a Vimeo link to some of their other work!

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Immigration reform is high on President Obama's agenda for this year.
And Wisconsin's dairy industry is joining a national push to let foreign workers stay on farms year-round, and pursue permanent jobs in whatever fields they choose.
The American Farm Bureau and the National Milk Producers are part of a coalition that's promoting the change. Unlike migrant workers who can get seasonal farm jobs, foreign workers on dairy farms cannot get the required visas because their jobs are permanent instead of temporary.
Milwaukee immigration lawyer Erich Straub tells the Journal Sentinel that the dairy industry desperately needs a change in the laws. He says it's an economic issue as well as a humanitarian concern.
A UW-Madison study showed that 40 percent of Wisconsin dairy employees are immigrants, mostly from Mexico – and around half do not have the required authorization to work in the U.S.
Jim Holte, president of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, says it's uncomfortable for the immigrants and their employers.
Despite high unemployment, Laurie Fischer of the Dairy Business Association says there's a shortage of people seeking dairy farm jobs – and her group favors some type of guest worker program. The coalition backs 11 month visas with employers who are registered with the USDA – and they would then be required to return home for 30 days.
There would be no limit on 11 month visas. And contracted employees could get 12 month work visas renewable indefinitely, as long as they return to their home countries for 30 days every three years.

You may have heard the name "Warren Buffett." He's one of the richest men in the world. Meet Warren Buffett's son Howard.
Warren Buffet is often called the Oracle of Omaha, and consistently ranks among the world's wealthiest people. Last year, time magazine named him one of the most influential people in the world.
When the financial crisis of 2007 doomed the banking world, it was Warren Buffett the US Treasury Secretary called for help.
But Buffett is also known for his personal frugality despite his huge wealth. He's a notable philanthropist, having pledged to give away 99 percent of his fortune to charity.
Philanthropy is apparently something that runs in the family. As we found out, southeast Arizona is a most unlikely place to find Warren Buffett's son Howard.
"It's a beautiful valley it's not a bad place to hang out," says Howard Buffett.
There's no doubt Howard is a farmer.
"Well jump in here and I'll show you a little technology."
The "farmer" label is a little deceiving. How do you go from being the middle child of mega-billionaire Warren Buffett -- the so-called Oracle of Omaha -- to this wide open, arid landscape outside of the small town of Willcox?
"My mom and dad always told all three of us, my brother, sister and I, you know you need to find what you love to do and go do that, because if you love doing it you'll do well."
What Howard would love to do is end world hunger and stabilize shaky third world governments through his foundation.
Thanks to his father's fortune, he's been traveling the world since he was a teenager, and as he witnessed poverty firsthand, he felt the call to philanthropy.
"It was a whole new world I mean it was like, this is amazing you know that this is actually, this is so different from the world I live in."
Howard is using his Arizona farm to test farming techniques using all the latest technology.
But he's also doing things no one's ever done here, like grow rice and use oxen to pull a specialized plow.
His conservation-based methods mean big changes for those who've farmed here for so long.
"It's a hard sell down here, I'll tell you what I mean, everybody, most people down here work the ground."
This part of southern Arizona has been agricultural for the better part of the last century. So the Buffett Foundation wants to take that tradition and transform it into research and development for the future.
They want to solve problems, and they want to solve them quickly.
"You get something like 40 good years based on that training, experience, education to really make a difference and then you start getting a little old like me," says Howard. "We're looking for things in the world to do that other people won't take the risk to do."
Those risks include a significant amount of money, time, and resources poured into places like Burundi, Uganda and the Congo in central Africa, Central American nations, and of course, in places like Cochise County.
His mission is to make the most of his good fortune through smart and generous giving and to encourage others to do the same.
"Everything you do counts. You don't have time to waste anything so you'd better think really hard about what you're going to do, why you're going to do it and what's the outcome."
Howard Buffett is named after Warren Buffett's father, Howard Homan Buffett, who was an Omaha businessman, and four term republican U.S. Representative.

Zennström Philanthropies was established by its founders because of their belief that the world today faces significant challenges and that those in a position to do something are obligated to bring to bear the resources they have to help find solutions.
With the founders' experience as both entrepreneurs and philanthropists, Zennström Philanthropies looks to work on the cutting edge of the nexus between the two.
Human rights empower individuals to reach their full potential. Europe has the world's strongest system of laws to protect human rights, and yet some groups are still denied their basic rights.
By building partnerships with European institutions, human rights defenders and NGOs, we can work together to change policy, empower vulnerable groups, and ensure that everyone can live in dignity.
Human activity is threatening the long-term sustainability of our ecosystems. By working to ensure that the real environmental costs of economic activity are included in today's business and policy decisions we believe that we can help create a new path that continues to promote development and growth whilst protecting the global commons. Our environmental portfolio encompasses three areas: Climate Change, Social Enterprise and Green Entrepreneurship; and the Baltic Sea.
Zennström Philanthropies was founded in 2007 by Niklas and Catherine Zennström. Its mission is to support and engage with organisations that fight for human rights, work to stop climate change and encourage social entrepreneurship in order to protect our natural environment and allow those who live in it to realize their full potential.
While we are always interested in learning more about the issues, the work, or the impact in our areas of focus, we are unable to accept unsolicited grant applications. Please note, any unsolicited application will not be considered.
Whilst human rights and climate change make up the principal funding activities of Zennström Philanthropies, there are other organisations whose work is deeply important, and often complementary, to the work of the principal fund. The elective fund was created to support such initiatives.

Phew! TV's biggest comedy will bang on. Warner Bros. has finalized contract negotiations with the last two remaining cast members of The Big Bang Theory,meaning that production on the sitcom's eighth season will proceed on Wednesday, Aug. 4, it was announced Tuesday.
Contract negotiations among the cast of The Big Bang Theory have reportedly been resolved, with stars Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco set to earn $1 million per episode for the next three seasons, Deadline reports. That matches the previously-unprecedented salaries set by the Friends cast in the show's last season.
Production on The Big Bang Theory's eighth season has been delayed as the show's five stars continue negotiating their contracts.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first table read was scheduled forWednesday, but Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helbergand Kunal Nayyar are not returning to work on the CBS comedy until they reach a new deal with Warner Bros. Television.
"Due to ongoing contract negotiations, production on The Big Bang Theory— which was originally scheduled to begin today — has been postponed," WBTV said in a statement Wednesday.
Scrat's nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he's been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences - a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid.
Ice Age: Continental Drift in 3D begins after Scrat's continental cataclysm, which triggers the greatest adventure of all for "Ice Age's" intrepid trio -- Manny, Diego, and Sid.
The science of funny is back! At work, physicists Leonard and Sheldon and their geek pals conquer the cosmos. At home, real life from dating to driving conquers them. This season, Leonard gets a girl. So does Sheldon. (Sheldon!) Howard drives the Mars Rover into a ditch. Raj woos a terminator. Gorgeous girl-next-door Penny falls under the spell of Age of Conan. And super-smart, uberconfident Leslie Winkler reduces mere men to spineless jellyfish. Twenty-three laugh-filled episodes from series creators Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men) and Bill Prady (Gilmore Girls) and a talented cast with astronomical comedy I.Q.s show why Big Bang is such a big hit.
Worlds collide in Season 3! A love affair with Penny has opened a big, wide, wonderful world of romance for Leonard. But Sheldon likes the world just the way it was, thank you. All of which makes for a zany comic triangle with brainy, clueless Sheldon and practical, grounded Penny hilariously vying for the role of hypotenuse. This complete 2-Disc, 23-Episode Season 3 Set also features Raj, Howard, tattoos, football, awkward dates, jail time, Stan Lee, a The Lord of the Rings ring and all the fun of a series that only gets better.

Charlie ran down the street, bare feet pounding the sidewalk. She'd stepped on so many sharp rocks and fragments of glass that she couldn't feel anything but the pain any longer. Her feet felt slick and she was sure she was leaving pairs of crimson footsteps in her wake, bright as runway lights.
Every house she passed was deserted—no lights, boarded up and hollow inside. Empty carapace, the guts and blood having moved onto bigger and better things. She would find no help here.
A howling in the distance. They were gaining on her. Panicking, she turned towards one of the houses. A tall three-story thing, very dark and very inviting. She sprinted towards its rotten porch, a quick check to make sure she wasn't, in fact, trailing any blood. She ran her feet through the grass just be sure. Up the wooden stairs. The door was locked and boarded up tight. She rattled the knob just in case. No luck. She tried the front windows—also locked.
Amanda had never been terribly fond of her grandmother, but with the funeral more than a week behind her, she found her thoughts turning to her periodically. Little thoughts and long forgotten memories. The smell of her grandmother's apartment and of her hair, the corduroy texture of her recliner and matching couch, the smoothness of the varnished coffee table—rising up to her out of the fog, seemingly from nowhere.
Before the funeral, she'd been allowed to go through her grandmother's apartment and pick through her personal affects—assuming her mother, snobby aunt or piggish uncle hadn't claimed them first. She hadn't been in the apartment in years, so it'd felt surreal to walk through it then. Like stepping through a tear in the fabric of space and time. She'd felt like a little girl again. The same brownish hue that covered everything, like the walls and furniture were rotting away and crumbling to dust. Her eyes traveled across the ancient clock hanging above the sagging television set—that TV was at least a decade older than she was—across the endless shelves of novelty plates and ceramic elephant figurines. She'd swept the house at least twice and yet, guiltily, she'd found nothing worth taking. Nothing that hadn't made her stomach churn a little, anyway. She'd gagged trying to imagine any of these things sitting on the shelves in her apartment. How could anyone, let alone someone in her family, have such awful taste in decorations?
"Kerry! Where you going, man?"
Kerry turned around. Josh was standing on the bottom of the hill, waving up at him. Kerry blinked. "What?"
He jogged up the hill to meet him. "I said, where you going, man?"
Kerry blinked again. "Into the woods."
Josh sighed. "Listen, if this is about Sarah, you need to let that shit go. Forget her, man. Fuck it. She's gone and that's that." He gave him a sympathetic look. "Come back to the fire with us."
Allee woke at dawn, startled out of a vivid nightmare she'd been having. By the time she sat up, hand at her chest, the dream was all but forgotten. Sweat-drenched she threw back her covers and glanced at her clock: 5:55 am.
She got up to grab a glass of water.
On the way back to her bed, she was overcome with a strange, vulnerable feeling. She felt like she was being watched. Paranoid, she glanced out her window, peering between the blinds at the dim, blue-washed landscape outside.
You ever have one of those dreams that's so strong it colors your whole day after you wake up? You know what I mean. There's just this atmosphere that hangs around you like a veil and you can't help but see everything through its cloth. It's indefinable, inescapable. It's like you pull a piece of your dream out with you and it doesn't go away until you go back to sleep the next night. Put the piece back where it belongs.
I'm sure you've felt this many times in your life. That's normal, right? Well. Me, I've only felt it once.
Every day after work, I had to walk past the cemetery to get home. This could get pretty nerve-wracking at night. Fenced-in and lightless. Black hills dotted with stone teeth, stretching on forever, washing into the horizon. Silent.
Walking alone one night, I caught sight of three people strolling along the opposite side of the road. I watched as they crossed the deserted street, gathered around the cemetery fence and, one-by-one, climbed over it. By the time I reached them, the last one was coming over the top of the fence. She landed on the opposite side with a soft thud, boots muted by the damp grass.
Got some weirdness right here for ya.

Last week, Maybach Music Group made big waves when they announced some serious plans for 2012 that include a new Reebok clothing line with Swizz Beatz, three summer release dates for MMG artists and a surprising new addition to the team.
Rick Ross was joined by Warner Bros. and Def Jam Recordings executives Steve Bartels, Todd Moscowitz and Lyor Cohen, who spoke quite highly of The Boss.
"When I got a chance to meet him, I saw someone that was going to be undeterred in achieving the success that he has," said Cohen. "He's not satisfied. There's no stopping him. I'm so grateful that I'm associated with him and that the Warner Bros. label is associated with him. The possibilities that Rick and Maybach Music are going to bring is going to be, in my mind, unprecedented."
Swizz Beatz hit the stage to announce his partnership with Ross on a Big & Tall clothing line for Reebok. "He's going to lead the big and tall movement," said Swizz. "There's a limit with clothes that stops at a certain point. With Ross, everything has to be custom made. I felt that instead of just doing a regular sneaker, we give Ross his own big and tall line."

Cocktail Trend: Booze on the Rocks (Literally)
Order your martini on the rocks at New York's Il Matto restaurant, and don't be surprised to find one in your glass. Their stone martinis are served with - just as the name suggests - an actual stone. Functional chic or over the top?
At Il Matto, bartender Christina Bini chills each stone and soaks it in vermouth. When added to the drink, the flavor seeps into the martini and simultaneously keeps it cold. These aren't your garden variety pebbles, however; they are carefully chosen rocks from Italy and Mongolia - the former garnishes the sweet white stone martini and the later is the centerpiece of the dry black stone martini.
Don't have fancy international stones in your backyard? Several retailers have caught on to the trend and sell stones cut just for cocktails. Chill the rocks in the freezer and bypass the issue of diluted drinks. Soak them in vermouth or elderflower liquor to add another element to the drink.
Would you try this at your next dinner party?

Stone Soup anyone!?
Are these actually porous? If not how do they add anything substantial to the drink taste wise?
Confused and sceptical!
What on earth?
Wouldn't want these knocking against my teeth.
No thank you. Call me boring but I'll stick to regular ice.
They keep your drink cold for a while without watering it down (like ice). I think it's a gimmick, but it's probably one I'd fall for. Sounds cool to me!
E. Savill, you're right, the stones pictured after the jump are soapstone and non-porous. However, Il Matto uses porous varieties. If we're talking vermouth, I think even non-porous stones would capture enough for a martini, but I have to admit, I only like a few drops of the stuff! Thanks for the feedback!
Isn't this where the term "on the rocks" comes from? Like stickyheels said -- it's to keep drinks cold without watering them down (especially a good thing for scotch ;)
Hmm they'd scratch my glasses, knock my teeth, and I'd probably manage to let them grow bacteria and mold in a drawer after not letting them dry out enough. Pass.
My friend, a big scotch guy, swears by them. Keeps them in his freezer. And I must say, that my cocktail was great with them. A conversation piece, at a minimum.
This is just stupid- almost as stupid as ingesting gold leaf, with the proviso that at least gold leaf won't chip your teeth...
@Purdygirl, if he drinks his scotch cold he isn't a great scotch guy.
I've seen these before but I can't help but think they're a great way to knock out your teeth. If you like the taste of the alcohol so little that it must be ice cold to the last drop then maybe you should change your drinking habits. There's also the fact that adding water helps open up some of the flavors so SOME water isn't a bad idea.
I'm not sure about this myself... alcohol is a pretty good solvent for a number of things. Perhaps even some of the trace elements in the stones?
Ummmm. Not new. Whiskey stones? The use in martinis, however, is. Probably because it's nonsensical since martinis are already cooled with a cocktail shaker. Silly and gimmicy.
Also, @Tiamat whiskey stones don't cool down the drink in the same way as ice. It's a subtle chill and not really enough to mask flavor. It's purely a preference thing.
I thought part of the appeal of ordering something 'on the rocks' was that you *wanted* the booze to get watered down a little bit. Water can bring out the flavors and dilute stronger, all alcohol cocktails (like martinis).
Ice melts. Whisky Rocks.
Ideal for putting a slight chill in your whisky
without diluting the dram of your dreams.
I bought mine at Sur La Table.
I hate when I get to the bottom of a drink and it's all watery.
Another fun ice cube replacement is frozen fruit. When I have over-ripe fruit, I'll blend it in a food processor and stick it in an ice cube tray. There's nothing like cooling down lemonade with frozen blueberry squares or popping frozen mango in a vodka-cranberry.
I don't know, I think the watery element is actually pretty important for a strong drink, whether it's a cocktail or a straight liquor. When you shake or stir a cocktail in a separate mixer, then strain it into your glass, as long as you've done it properly, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the drink will be water. Water helps the flavours show through the alcohol, so that you can appreciate the complexity and deliciousness without it all being masked by alcohol burn. I think this is a gimmick.
Do the rocks get reused?
Interesting. I'd like to give them a go because I definately share some of the concerns of other users (contact against the glass and your teeth), but definately seeing some of the benefits as well and plus I think some of them are aesthetically very pleasing.
We've had these in my part of the world for years already and I've never heard anyone complain about scratched glasses. People seem happy about non-watered down drinks though. Personally I think they are horribly ugly though and prefer real ice cubes.
at least the weight would keep them at the bottom of the glass as oposed to ice floating on the top and hitting your teeth. I like the idea of blending fruit and freezing that into ice cubes to add to fruity cocktails - will have to try that one.

text: (WNFL) - The Green Bay Packers are the only N-F-L team not to get an interception from one of its safeties -- and there's not much time left to change that. Safety M-D Jennings says he and his teammates talk a lot about that -- but they've vowed not to go chasing away from their required routes, and risk an opposing receiver burning a defender. Jennings says nobody on the team likes the fact that the Packer safeties have no picks -- but at this point of the year, it's all about putting personal stats second and team victories first. The coaches insist that interceptions will come if the Packers stick with their defensive schemes. But there are only two regular season games left for that to happen -- Sunday at home against Pittsburgh, and December 29th at Chicago. The Packers must win both those contests to take the N-F-C North Division, and make the playoffs with a home Wild Card game.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Archbishop John Nienstedt says he accepts responsibility for addressing fresh concerns about clergy sexual misconduct in the archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
And he tells Minnesota Public Radio (http://bit.ly/1h9u5Wr ) he regrets that a growing number of parishioners and priests have lost confidence in him.
But in an email response to MPR's questions, he denies any abuse cover-up or illegal actions. And he repeats the archdiocese's assertion that there are no offending priests in active ministry.
He says he's committed to finding the truth and fixing problems that exist. He says his highest priorities are ensuring children's safety and restoring trust.
MPR says it's the first time Nienstedt has answered media questions since a whistleblower began raising questions about how archdiocese officials have handled allegations of clergy sexual misconduct.

A Holly Springs man who faces child porn charges was uncovered when a friend found scores of disturbing images on the man's computer.
Christopher Bova, 44, was arrested March 15 on child porn charges.
Wednesday, newly released court documents describe in graphic detail the hundreds of images found on his computer and how a friend of Bova's discovered the stash.
According to court documents, the man was house-sitting for Chris Bova and turned on Bova's computer because he was suspicious about why Bova was so secretive about the device.
The police affidavit says the house sitter even found pictures of his own two daughters on Bova's computer, including one image of his daughter that was being used as the computer's wallpaper.
The documents say the wallpaper image showed the house sitter's daughter in a bathing suit and surrounded by sexually suggestive images that included one of Bova.
As word about the contents of the court documents made its way through the neighborhood where Bova lives, reaction was strong.
Neighbor Iman Budwan asked, "Has he done anything to the kids in this neighborhood? It's definitely scary."
According to documents, police found numerous images of small children, some said to be as young as 4, engaged in sexual activity stored on Bova's computer.
"I never thought it would be someone in my neighborhood," said Budwan.
No one at Bova's home answered the door when WNCN tried to ask about the allegations.
"I was shocked when I read that," said neighbor Chris Collins, referring to the court documents.
"I've known Chris for five years. Our kids play together on the street," Collins said. "We're a close-knit neighborhood. It's just hard to believe."
After reading the allegations in the court documents, another neighbor said she hopes her kids weren't exposed to anything disturbing.
"I've always told my children not to go into other people's houses so hopefully they haven't been in there too often, " said Karin Newton. "I know they haven't seen anything or they would have mentioned it to me."
Other neighbors say they want to wait and see how the charges play out.
"He's innocent 'til proven guilty," said neighbor Pat Maliszewski. "If (he's) guilty then I would expect our justice system to do what needs to be done."
Bova is currently free on bond.
