The re-election of President Obama has ensured that the Affordable Care Act will continue to be implemented, including major reforms effective in 2014. Federal and state efforts towards implementing much of the Act's 2014 provisions slowed over the past year due to uncertainty over the Act's future in the face of court challenges and the November elections. Now that the Democrats have kept control of the Senate and the President has won re-election we expect a flurry of activity at both the state and federal level. We should get our first glimpse of what an Iowa statewide exchange may look like on November 16, 2012, the deadline for States to submit their exchange blueprints to the federal government. We are also eagerly awaiting regulations implementing a variety of provisions of concern for employers, including the employer "play or pay" requirements which we hope will provide clearer guidance on a large employer's obligation to provide affordable, minimum value insurance to full-time employees. Other areas we are watching include regulations implementing the small employer health care tax credit in 2014, IRS guidance on the application of the non-discrimination rules to fully-insured non-grandfathered plans, and exchange notices employers must deliver to employees in 2013.
To receive updates on these and other regulatory developments, subscribe to our health care reform blog here.

Danae Columbus: Ohio Gov. John Kasich could make a strong choice for moderate Republicans
It was almost comforting listening to presidential candidate Ohio Gov. John Kasich yesterday at a Metairie forum attended by almost 200 people. There was no bombast oratory, no inflammatory swipes at the other candidates, no threats of hell and damnation. Instead, attendees heard a sincere, even-keeled centrist who had some pretty good ideas about how to fix many of America's problems. Continue reading »

Letter to the Editor: Don't let funding cuts weaken New Orleans schools
By Chunlin Leonhard
The Act 467 Working Group has recently proposed to revamp New Orleans public school funding formulas intending to increase funding for children with special needs. While this is a laudable goal, the proposed new formula takes desperately needed funds away from schools serving children from middle class families of all races. The proposed funding formula threatens to undo recent progress in making high quality public schools a realistic and viable option for middle class parents of all races. Taking desperately needed funds away from schools such as Audubon Charter School, Warren Easton, Ben Franklin, Edward Hynes, Lusher, McMain, and McDonogh #35 Academy, will only serve to weaken public school education overall by forcing middle class parents out of the New Orleans public school system.

In all, more than 1,400 lots will come up for bid, starting at 9 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday. The auction will feature Part 2 of fine jewelry items from Peacock's Estate Jewelry–the iconic and longstanding fine jewelry store on Royal Street in the New Orleans French Quarter–plus French furniture, clocks, lamps and lighting and other items from numerous local and Southern estates.

Owen Courreges: New Orleans shouldn't — and can't — require reporting of stolen guns
I'm a big fan of Judge Dredd comics. The dystopian, post-apocalyptic future that Judge Dredd inhabits renders him simultaneously both hero and villain, as the same Judge/Cop hybrid who takes down dangerous criminals who prey on innocent citizens also often turns the innocent into criminals themselves.
Thus, you will often see Judge Dredd take down an armed mugger, only to arrest the victim of the mugging for incitement. After all, the victim was wearing expensive jewelry in a bad neighborhood at night! That makes him responsible!
We would like to think that in our more justice-minded society, we are above such victim-blaming, if not informally than at least under our body of criminal law. Alas, a forthcoming proposal by Councilman James Gray harkens more towards the world of Dredd than to loftier ideals. Continue reading »

Touro College Graduate School of Social Work Student Alina Kheyson Wins NY State Student of the Year Award
Barbara Franklin
Director of Communications
646-565-0400 x6530
New York, N.Y. - Alina Kheyson, a second year master's student at the Touro College Graduate School of Social Work has been awarded the Graduate Student of the Year Award by the New York State Social Work Education Association (NYSSWEA).
The honor was bestowed at the association's annual convention held recently in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., where each year the organization presents a "student of the year award" to one undergraduate and one graduate student in social work who demonstrate strong academic achievement and leadership in school and/or the community. The winners are selected from among nominations submitted by accredited schools of social work in the state.
"Alina was chosen in recognition of her dedication to excellence in academic achievement, global and interprofessional perspectives, and social work leadership," said NYSSWEA President Carol Brownstein-Evans, PhD, who presented the award at the annual meeting.
A student with a 4.0 GPA at Touro, Ms. Kheyson was born in the Ukraine and came to the United States with her family at the age of nine. She grew up in Brooklyn and began Brooklyn College straight out of high school at 16, where she majored in psychology and political science.
Originally she pursued training in the medical field, but switched to social work, she said, because she wanted to work one-on-one with clients and was influenced by time she spent helping children in orphanages when she returned briefly to the Ukraine in 2010.
"I realized that illnesses come from whatever you're feeling. If you're not able to clear your feelings you will be sick the rest of your life no matter what doctor you go to," Ms. Kheyson said. "I like psychology more than medicine."
During her time at Touro Ms. Kheyson has developed a growing interest in New York's social service system, leading her to earn a certificate in fundraising, non-profit management and grant writing at New York University, as well as attend Spanish classes to learn the language and culture. A recipient of a UJA Federation of New York scholarship for emerging leaders, Ms. Kheyson says her dream is to establish a relief fund serving blind and disabled children and families living in poverty in the Ukraine.
"Alina Kheyson is an exceptional Touro social work graduate student," said Dr. Steven Huberman, dean of the Touro College Graduate School of Social Work. "Every day she seeks to give back to the community. She is caring and a program innovator. We are so proud of her leadership."
Ms. Kheyson expressed her appreciation, "I'm very grateful to the faculty at Touro who have devoted their time and guidance to help get me through the MSW program, shaping me into the professional I am becoming and hope to be – and enabling me to receive this wonderful award."
The NYSSWEA provides a forum for social work administrators and students to share information, advocate on behalf of the social work education community and promote activities that support the profession and contributions of social workers.

Building a small business has many challenges. Sanity is definitely one of them. Many dive in knowing that they are going to give it their all to make their dreams come true and make their small businesses successful.
One of the keys to building a small business (and any endeavor for that matter) is maintaining a psychological edge over the pressures of life. Vacations are often a way to "recharge the batteries" and bring the world back into perspective. For many, it's something that they feel they just can't afford to do for the sake of their business.
This graphic by our friends at Intuit can be used as a guide for planning and making vacations a reality for small business owners. Preparation is key, particularly for those who are deeply embedded in their own business to the point that without them, it may fail.

NJ Sonic Rock Guitarist, Drew Whelan Inks Management and Publicity Deal with EA Kroll Productions
New Jersey native Drew Whelan signs a (2)year management/publicity and social media deal with EA Kroll Productions. "We intend on developing Drew's full musical potential and with his extensive background, we are looking forward to it" - EA Kroll
About Drew:
He's influenced by the new and the old, from big sonic rock guitar to cutting edge dance beats, textured synths interwoven with fat bass lines that can shake the ground on which we stand...
Drew discovered his parents' record collection, at a very young age - Led Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly, Yes, and Joni Mitchell were played very often as he was growing up! But in that collection he indulged in so many forms of sound, from the blues, jazz, rock, folk, just to name a few. He would spend hours going through them, taking in the cover art, the concept, imagining what could possibly be in the heart of the record once he laid the needle on the first track...More often than not he was wildly surprised! It was quite an escape for him, like traveling to another dimension and he could go there any time he wanted. He would just hit play and off he'd go into another world!
Growing up, Drew was not the most astute student in school. He only seemed to care about the things that interested him and his brothers... the things that seemed to shimmer and pop. "I think I was a professional day dreamer and bubble gum chewer in those days" - Drew Whelan - He could't wait to get home to let his imagination soar, playing li'l diddies that he layed down onto tape which tended to be given as gifts to friends and girls I was interested in at the time. It was my way of being a part of the collective...which brings him to his first real introduction to a live instrument. Involved in the school band, heed vividly remember making (THE) choice over what instrument reflected his personality!
A little bit later he came to discover the magic of electric guitar while at a friend's house and his Mother's acoustic guitar that his Father had gifted her. Since that moment he was enthralled and got his first electric guitar as a birthday present. He passionately dug in for long hours that seemed to slip away without second thought. All through high school he devoted all of his free time to the art of recording.
Over the years, Drew retained that same love and devotion to his craft, studying at Musician's Institute in Hollywood, California for a brief time, honing the technical...and straight shootin' from the hip! All of which has allowed him to pull from a very wide range of interests and influences, leading him into different territories musically. Drew is constantly evolving with the tides and changes of style and culture! He believes there is something to appeal to all age groups in his music as those barriers seem to be slipping away.
His sound has been related to the likes of Bono from U2, Bruno Mars, John Mayer, Radiohead, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, The Gorillaz and Mark Ronson...Projects + Collaborations (to include and exceed)
Drew has played with such people as: Alex Orbison, Navarone Garabaldi, Zak Ambrose, Mike Burns, Swayze, Duane Betts, John Donovan and Olivia Newton John's Daughter Chloe

New Days Rising
The Reverberating Sun Amber Rose

Like B.B. in the years of the Dolce Vita
Like the iconic bombshell diva, often portrayed in floral or Vichy checkered bikinis, strategic necklines in close-up, shirts tied under the breast and short pants, or bustier tops and A-line skirts, for example with big polka dots, plus a tight high-waist belt
Outfits freely in theme: see the looks by Alberta Ferretti and Azzaro. With a floral blouse and red-and-white-checkered bloomers, plus platform shoes: the D&G suggestion.
Among the starting items: a bikini in Lycra, for example, in lemon yellow like the one by Blumarine. Sexy: the top, in printed cotton, by Prada or the tube-top stretch one, by D&G. Very elaborate: the sexy bathing suit by Frankie Morello.
Essential: a pair of high-waist jeans, for example, by Boss Green. As an alternative: the black model with floral prints by Diane von Fürstenberg or the crochet one by Ermanno Scervino. For the evening: the silk mini dress, filled with shine, by Blugirl.
Among the accessories in the mood: the shoes, in tangerine suede and golden leather, by Casadei. Other hypothesis: a pair of classic flat ballerina pumps or a flat sandal, for example, in chamois, with decorative beads, by Etro. Like a star: the D&G sunglasses. In colored straw: the Furla bag. Cinematic: the wide brimmed straw hat, white, by Maurizio Perocato. For the neck: the maxi collier by John Richmond or the striped scarf in silk by Missoni.

This is a decent but completely unremarkable retrospective of Clint
Eastwood movies -- at least of his work at Warner Brothers. It's told
in the form of clips from his appearance in WB products, ranging in age
from an early appearance of the TV show MAVERICK on through last year's
Despite a graceful narration from frequent collaborator Morgan Freeman, however, it is little more than a collection of clips and interviews with Eastwood in which he says pretty much what he has always said: that he makes movies he likes to see.
His career has thus been a treat for those of us who like middle-brow movies, movies with strong plots that tell stories about people whom he makes us care about -- despite occasionally being just the sort of people who think we shouldn't sympathize with. So an occasional puff piece like this is a welcome time-waster.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I have been after this documentary about the directing career of Clint
Eastwood for some time, and finally got to see if off HULU here
recently!- and it does not disappoint.
"The Eastwood Factor" does delve into Clint's overall life and acting career a little bit, but mostly focuses on his career as a filmmaker- beginning with "Play Misty For Me", which came out in the early 1970s- all the way through to "Invictus", which I believe he was working on around the time this documentary got made-?? It focuses on not only where he sorta learned his craft from- especially filmmakers like Don Siegel and Sergio Leone- but also how he sorta begot other actor- directors- like Mel Gibson, for instance.
It was interesting how he said his directing career kinda came about- as he was working on the set of film after film as an actor- he was like, okay, they're doing it wrong- they're taking too long, etc.. Then he was like, you know, why don't I just direct the movies I star in-??? LOL And it's been a match-made-in-heaven ever since. I can't think of any other actor who has had the consistent long-range and versatile success as a filmmaker as Eastwood has had in his 40-plus years as a director. Redford, Beatty, Gibson, Costner, etc.. all have had minimal-to-mediocre success in varied forms throughout their directing careers (and many actors have never directed anything), but like film critic Roger Ebert said- Eastwood would've been known as a filmmaker, even if his John Wayne-esque iconic screen stardom had never happened...
Just caught the premiere of this on TCM. There have easily been better overviews of Eastwood's career (the 2000 American Masters documentary 'Out Of The Shadows' is an excellent example) and it's easy to tear apart Richard Schickel's often sloppy style. But just to focus on a technical/aesthetic aspect of this production - who the hell was in charge of actually assembling the clips from the films? Eastwood's filmography includes films produced in just about every aspect ratio from full-frame to scope - and it's a TOTAL crap-shoot here whether a scene from a film will be properly letter-boxed or miserably pan-and scanned - or something in-between! (sometimes in a montage using scenes from the same film!) There were scenes from DIRTY HARRY that were pan-and-scanned, slightly letter-boxed and in full letterbox (it's a scope film) while others like A PERFECT WORLD (also scope) were in total, horrendous pan-and-scan - ruining not only the composition of the shots - but the beauty and impact of the scenes shown. These are just two of numerous examples throughout this production. This kind of oversight was simply inexcusable - especially from a man (Schickel) who is entrusted with how contemporary audiences see Clint's cinematic legacy. Next time hire somebody (like me!) who knows and cares that the examples shown are presented and represented correctly! Amateurish hack work beyond belief!
Eastwood Factor, The (2010)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Ninety-minute documentary on the career of legend Clint Eastwood focuses in on his directorial work at Warner. As with most documentaries by Schickel, he lets the act himself tell the story so we get Eastwood going one-on-one with the camera and discussing his films, his way of shooting things and other bits of trivia including his golf game. This isn't the first time director Schickel has made a film on Eastwood but this one here is certainly the more detailed of the two. If one is looking for something to cover his entire career then you're not going to find it here but if you're looking for something covering his Warner years then you're not going to be disappointed. It goes without saying but films like UNFORGIVEN, MILLION DOLLAR BABY, MYSTIC RIVER and his WW2 double-feature are all covered but you can also hear Eastwood discuss these films on countless other releases. I think the best thing about this documentary is that we get to hear his discuss films like HONKEYTONK MAN, PALE RIDER, FIREFOX, WHITE HUNTER BLACK HEART and BRONCO BILLY. It's interesting hearing the director look back at some of his lesser known works and discuss why he made them and how he feels about them today. The documentary also covers some more interesting grounds including Eastwood taking us on a trip to some of his sets and how they look today. Another trip includes a costume warehouse where many of his most famous outfits remain including stuff from DIRTY HARRY, PALE RIDER and UNFORGIVEN. I thought the documentary did a good job at jumping back and forth through these films, although I'm sure someone is going to have a favorite film that doesn't get talked about as much as he would like. That's just a part of documentaries like this as they're not always going to cover the films you want covered but that just comes with the territory. For the most part this film hits all the right notes and will be a must see for fans of Eastwood.
And who's to blame for this? Why, CLINT EASTWOOD himself. And the
He comes across as a man who strains to be vaguely articulate, one who's had enormous success at the box office with a string of violent films for decades now but has little to say about them except that he makes the kind of film he likes to watch. A simple philosophy. It's like a writer saying he writes the kind of stuff he himself would like to read. Okay. But that's the only perspective we get.
Clint's off screen persona is strikingly similar to that of the equally soft-spoken and elusive Henry Fonda. He's a mild-mannered man who looks today as harmless as the guy behind the counter at the local pharmacy, totally unlike the sort of action-oriented figures he plays on the screen with such authority and presence. It's as though all those action years have sucked the energy right out of him.
Fortunately, he grew up watching a lot of the old James Cagney/Humphrey Bogart films at Warner Brothrs, a studio where he himself has spent a lot of time over the past few decades churning out one macho action flick after another with little pause between. Occasionally he delved into deeper stuff with films like MILLION DOLLAR BABY, but his fans are really loyal because he gives them the kind of mindless action features they can all fantasize about. Good guys bring the bad guys down.
But don't expect anything deep from either Richard Schickel's script or Morgan Freeman's narration if you want insight into what makes the man tick. No mention of his turbulent personal life except that he lives in Carmel, California and likes to walk along the sand and beach-front areas in casual attire while pondering how much violence he can wreck in his next film to ensure it hits box office gold.
A simple-minded narration for a man whose life has got to be further explored to really give anyone a fair assessment of him, both as a filmmaker and a man. He's got to be more complex than he's presented here. The documentary is only remotely interesting when it concentrates on highlights from some of his most famous films. Even here, it fails to select the most impressive clips.
Summing up: An unremarkable view of a remarkable man.

Young Naturalist Program
Activities will take place within our Burlington County parks every Monday morning from June 27 - August 15, excluding July 4, and all are led by a County Park Naturalist. Every time we meet for an outing in one of the parks, we will be observing nature around us. If the "topic" for the day happens to be trees, that doesn't mean we ignore animals. We will be observing everything of interest in nature all the time! Examples of summer activities and topics in YNP include:
- Biological assessment
- Kayaking
- Keeping a nature journal
- Orienteering
- Plant and animal identification
- Understanding and using dichotomous keys
Registration is closed for the season
Testimonial from a Young Naturalist
"When I learned there was a young naturalist program cover the course of the summer I was excited. Here was a place where I could get hands on experience and learn new things about the wildlife around my home. It was so much fun! Everyone was nice and I knew they had the same interests as me. We discussed butterflies, reptiles, amphibians, trees, fungi, and so much more. I love hiking through the different parks and seeing the wide variety of animal and plant life. Now I can identify the different species in my backyard and several plants that grow in the forest down the street. I can't wait to sign up for next year so I can learn even more."
Testimonials from Parents of Young Naturalists
"I can hardly believe how happy my son looks! He's already told me he wants to do this program again next summer. He has really enjoyed these sessions, beyond his expectations."
"The program was great. Time was convenient for parents. Participant enjoyed journaling … it helped to keep things organized and helped to remember what was seen / heard on the hikes."
"[My son] really enjoyed the Young Naturalist Program this summer. Thanks for all you did for our kids!"

Tannim...What's Aleppo? And what does that level of international ignorance mean to you? I was a Bernie supporter, but I'm also a realist - Johnson can't win, Stein can't win, and under no circumstances I can imagine can or should Trump win. Look up the clinical definition of sociopathy/narcissism anywhere you choose - if there was a picture next to it that picture would be of Donald Trump.
I have no desire to live in the police state he proposes. I have heard nothing constructive in any of his divisive rants, I haven't seen his tax returns yet (he has business dealings all over the world - who really owns him and what would that mean to our democracy?), I have no desire to see his family-style primped and airbrushed nepotism in the White House, and his stance on nuclear weapons is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.
This egocentric buffoon needs to have his ass handed to him on election day by Hillary Clinton. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but damn, son, use your head! The Ship of State will continue to sail regardless of who wins the election, but there are going to be casualties overboard...let's try to minimize the damage.
Passing Amendment 69 will have two immediate effects: an exodus of health care providers who don't wish to work for a medical "minimum wage", and an immediate and potentially unfair increase in state taxes/fees - even on income items that weren't previously taxed. Living on a fixed income? Too bad - they're coming for it. Oh and don't forget those 512,000 people currently getting SNAP benefits, as you'll be paying for their health care too.
"Moving On" in the liberal progressive mind: "Triple the existing levy and issue bonds..."
At least you're predictable, JH.
I'm with you on the PBMP. Here's the homework... Name three governor's and two senators that would do Uncle Teddy proud!
ColoradoCare (amendment 69) was designed by a group of Coloradans with no connection to any corporation, industry or political party. It would create a non-profit cooperative owned by the people of Colorado and run by a 21-member board of trustees elected by the people of Colorado. It would simplify our healthcare payment system while keeping our doctors, specialists, clinics and hospitals as independent businesses competing for your business.
ColoradoCare is our chance to get the big insurance companies and their bureaucracy, waste, profits, lobbyists and campaign contributions out of our healthcare. ColoradoCare would cover every Coloradan with top quality healthcare, with no deductibles, while costing us less than we pay now.
You owe it to yourself and your fellow Coloradans to learn more about ColoradoCare and vote for it in November. www.ColoradoCare.org
Kudos...Kudos...Kudos to asawatcher, thank you for that well written and factual response :)
Tannim...WTF!!! What an unfactual....undefendable comment!! Legislation to promote women's rights is not political or gender exploitation, it is indeed to promote equality.
Just another form of censorship. Over the last two years the Gazette has become a cheerleader for the people/companies that own this city. Influencing voters so they don't get in the way of city giveaways is worth every penny Anschutz paid for the Gazette.
"Odin brings up a very good question. My question to Odin, ok, what is the Second Amendment about?" - Lil Mick
The Second is about the ability to keep and bear arms. This right is an extension of our inherent AKA natural or fundamental right to self-defense and community defense and it exists with or without the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment merely protects this existing right. One of the reasons it protects this right is because of community defense.
"it was originally about protecting the rights of citizens to arm themselves as a militia, keeping the militia, or military at that time separate from the government, enabling the citizenry to protect themselves from a oppressive government."
The military was never intended to be separate from the government. Please, read the Constitution. Being able to defend against an oppressive government is just one facet of a militia -- they were also for providing for immediate defense against invasions and insurrections, among other things.
"The Supreme Court and those who oppose gun legislation have made it clear, the need for a militia separate from the government is no longer necessary,"
Please, point to where the Supreme Court has said this.
" therefore that part of the Second Amendment can be ignored, it is not necessary.
So, since that is no longer the purpose, I argue, there is no longer a purpose for the Second Amendment."
You confuse the first 13 words of the Second Amendment with the reason the right exists. They are not the same thing. The first 13 words give one reason the right must be protected, not the reason it exists. Remember, the Bill of Rights does not grant any rights, it recognizes rights we already have.
"What we now have is a constitutional protection on a privately manufactured and privately marketed product. We have no such protection for any other privately manufactured and privately marketed products."
Except for the whole unreasonable search and seizure bit. Seems to me that homes are privately manufactured and privately marketed, yet there are Constitutional protections about when they can be searched, when they can be taken, and if we can be forced to share them. And even if true, so what? It doesn't mean that we can have any arms we please. It doesn't mean there cannot be any laws, restrictions, or limitations.
Therefore, I find your arguments to be extremely flawed and therefore not worth the electrons used to express them.
The Gazette still has 40,000 readers?
I'm shocked!
Your opinion does not create truth, and has little connection with reality.
Democrats are largely responsible for passing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, (the FIRST bill Obama signed as President)
Democrats have supported the Paycheck Fairness Act. (repeatedly blocked by Republicans)
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, (some call it "Obamacare") insurance companies can no-longer discriminate against women on account of their gender.
The Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") has provided over 47 million women with guaranteed access to free preventive services, such as cancer screenings.
Going back to 1994, then Senator Biden shepherded through Congress the Violence Against Women Act…reauthorized with Democratic support in 2013.
A Democratic Administration ended discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity for federal contractors.
Democrats urged ratification of the "Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women", and Obama issued an Executive order: "United States National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security".
The current Democratic Candidate has a long, established history of promoting women's and families' best interests, going back to 1993 and the
"Family Medical Leave Act". (and before as first lady of Arkansas)
If there is a political party in America with a better history of promoting the interests of women, you'll have to show it to me.
I'm of the notion that "Emerge Colorado" is a great idea, as there are far too few women in elected office.
i couldn't believe that i would ever be re-unite with my ex-lover, i was so traumatize staying all alone with no body to stay by me and to be with me, but i was so lucky one certain day to meet this powerful spell caster Dr Zack,after telling him about my situation he did everything humanly possible to see that my lover come back to me,indeed after casting the spell my ex-lover came back to me less than 48 hours,my ex-lover came back begging me that he will never leave me again,3 months later we got engaged and married,if you are having this same situation just contact Dr Zack on his email: firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com thanks very much sir for restoring my ex-lover back to me,his email Mobile number VIA: WHATSAPP...+2348077686213 Email: email@example.com or email@example.com
Eliminate competition, especially price competition. Intent of every billionaire is to develop monopoly power if they can get away with it. Secondarily, Anschutz wants more platforms to pump out Wayne's insipid editorials and if the Gazette is the only paper in town then they've a captive audience for their extremism.
Jennie Willford: You might want to try a political party that doesn't exploit gender for political purposes and instead focuses on true equality. You won't find that in the Democrats.
No, the Gazette would not have started competing publications, HazyHurts. They can't afford Wayne-o's munchies habit now as is, and they simply don't have neighborhood beats anymore, because in their minds, it doesn't matter.
The purchase was simply to buy them up and shut them down and continue to try to control everything else that's not the Indy in print media in the area.
Lil Mick,
I rely on the wisdom of the Founders and the Bill of Rights on this one. I'm not interested in revisiting any of those moments that were necessary to getting all states on board to sign the Constitution. The impracticality of repealing the 2nd Amendment seems to be the biggest hurdle. A supermajority of Congress and ratification by 75% of state legislatures is a pretty big obstacle. In today's reality it could never happen, so we have to work with what we have. Revenue killers like the Federal sequester and TABOR limit the funding we have for police protection, so, in my case, I rely on my ability to defend myself and my family. I generally only have a firearm handy when I travel or when I hunt. I don't spend time on the range, I don't have a concealed carry permit (but that may change if the crazies get crazier, and I'm not talking about the "tweakers" and other drug addled mentally ill out there).
I agree in substance with your argument that the 2nd Amendment bolsters modern gun ownership and that seems contrary to a level playing field for all other industries...but since the Chinese first invented gunpowder the arms race has been going full tilt. If we want to keep up with the Joneses or the North Koreans should we all be looking around for personal nukes? No, but the most imprinted of all of our genetic makeup has to do with survival. Your argument that militias have been deemed unnecessary by the Supremes, et al, has not stopped militias from cropping up under the guise of fending off an unjust Government. As long as someone else has a gun, be it a government official or a private citizen, then that right should be available to all. I don't see any of the folks in the multitude of militias stating that militias are no longer necessary. And I certainly don't see any large scale sweeps going on to remove them from the landscape, so I really don't get your premise that the Court and the gun nuts have deemed ileitis unnecessary. My current feeling is that we need to enforce current laws, stiffen regs on assault weapons and do a better job of keeping guns away from crazies or other irresponsible types.
The vagueness of the Second and the changes that have come down the pike make repeal virtually impossible. I would concentrate more on enforcing laws we do have on the books and adding some common sense restrictions on assault weapons and background checks.
Vietnamized, I appreciated your comments, I would like to know though, what argument do you have against my logic as to why you are not in favor of repealing the Second Amendment?
I have yet to hear a logical rebuttal. I usually hear what you wrote "I'm not for repealing the Second, but ...".
Something like, repealing the Second Amendment is too extreme, but no other rebuttal to my logic.
Being extreme is not a reason to not do something, if that something is the right thing to do.
Can you give me one solid reason as to why it should not be repealed? I wrote what I thought was a thorough, well thought out logic.
Keep in mind, repealing it would not change the status quo, all will remain as it is. However, it opens the door to regulations, just like we have with all other privately manufactured and marketed products.
The vagueness of the Second Amendment (what is an arms), pretty much zaps any attempt at passing any common sense regulations with-in that industry.
They simply invoke the Second Amendment and any legislation on regulating it bites the dust.
Actually most of the breeding in an elk herd is accomplished by the spikes that stay with the cows/calves until they drop their horns a second time. That's why there are limitations in most states on taking spike bulls. You might try asking a wildlife biologist about that. As for a right that was not granted by the 2nd Amendment why was it written and insisted upon? A little common sense here. The King's men were confiscating guns, so the right did not exist - it had been usurped by the tyrant and his henchmen.
I have guided on game ranches, and believe me, most of that meat goes to Hunters for the Hungry because the city studs are only interested in the head and horns.
BTW, the firearms the 2nd Amendment protected were muzzle-loading flintlocks...everyone should have one so that they can be a part of their local militia...just saying'. Having manned a crew-served automatic weapon in combat, and having carried a somewhat illegal Thompson because it was the best close range weapon I could get my hands on I can safely say I understand weaponry. If you think you can hunt deer or elk with an AR or an AK you might want to check with your local game officer about that.
As for the gun industry the NRA is their best shill for ramping up sales. Every time Wayne LaPierre's hair catches on fire sales skyrocket - a couple of years ago it was almost impossible to find .223 primers because of the rumor started that the Gov't was buying up all the .223 ammo. I'm not for repealing the Second, but I do think we need to build in a little common sense about assault weapons. I have WWII military arms - several of them, but in the case of two of them I need to be about 500 meters away to level the playing field with the AR/AK crowd. If you continually live in fear, WarHead you should perhaps go spend some time in a place where there is a war and know what real fear is. It ain't here.
You fools! Bringing a rifle to fight an Apache! Ask Ruby Ridge!
Three glocks versus a Bradley. You people are under full spectrum control. I am controlling you right now. This is a police state, which is good. There are a lot of tweekers going around. Your guns are ineffectual against tyranny. Tuna fellatio.
Per Odin..." If you think the Second Amendment is about hunting, you are dramatically mistaken."
Odin brings up a very good question. My question to Odin, ok, what is the Second Amendment about?
My argument as to why we should repeal this amendment is that it was originally about protecting the rights of citizens to arm themselves as a militia, keeping the militia, or military at that time separate from the government, enabling the citizenry to protect themselves from a oppressive government.
This is clear in the Second Amendment and the amendment from the Virginia constitution from which the Second Amendment was modeled from.
It was an issue important to those at that time, as they sought liberty from an oppressive monarchy.
The Supreme Court and those who oppose gun legislation have made it clear, the need for a militia separate from the government is no longer necessary, therefore that part of the Second Amendment can be ignored, it is not necessary.
So, since that is no longer the purpose, I argue, there is no longer a purpose for the Second Amendment.
What we now have is a constitutional protection on a privately manufactured and privately marketed product. We have no such protection for any other privately manufactured and privately marketed products.
I think this is wrong, it has helped the gun manufacturers and retailers to reap in huge profits.
This is not the purpose of our Constitution or our Bill of Rights, to give such constitutional protections to privately manufactured and privately marketed products.
Therefore, in my humble opinion, the Second Amendment should be repealed.

There will be an element of relief tomorrow morning when Rebecca Adlington leaves the call room tucked beneath the stands of the London Aquatics Centre and heads for the blocks that squat at one end of the pool. She is back in her natural environment.
Four years ago she made the same short journey in the Water Cube in Beijing. Then she was unnoticed. She will not be tomorrow. Not as Britain's most successful swimmer in Olympic history, as one of the most recognisable faces of the home team at 2012 and as one of the host nation's best chances of a gold medal, not only in the pool but across the Olympic programme. No British swimmer has ever successfully defended an Olympic title. That is the size of Adlington's task.
"It all starts again," says Bill Furniss, the man who has coached her from the very start. He will be poolside again tomorrow for the 400m freestyle, the first of the two freestyle titles she claimed in 2008. "Winning an Olympic title is one thing, to defend it… it's a very small percentage of Olympians who can do that. Rebecca is already in uncharted waters – she's a double Olympic champion and she's defending in a home Olympics, which is awesome."
In Beijing, Adlington was not expected to win a medal and won two golds. In London, Adlington is expected to retain those two Olympic titles.
"You can't just go and get a gold medal like you're going to get a drink," says Adlington. "It is so hard. This is one of the hardest sports to medal at. I don't think people appreciate quite how hard it is. It is hard just to make the final. The difference between winning and coming eighth is ridiculously small. It can be anybody's. I nearly missed the final of the 400m last year at the worlds. Who knows what is going to happen this time? I hope to God I make the final."
The 400m is the title she will find the hardest to defend. Despite her fear of missing the World Championship final last year she eventually won silver and has posted the second-quickest time this year. She is the watched woman and the likes of Federica Pellegrini and Camille Muffat, this year's pacesetter, are more than capable of finishing ahead of the Briton, but Adlington remains the one to catch.
"She's in great shape," says Furniss. "We've had a really good year. We've probably lost two days through sickness or injury in the whole year. Preparation-wise, I think she's swimming very, very good. Some of the training times are at least as good as, if not better than, they were before Beijing."
Adlington's life has been transformed since Beijing, and it has not always been an easy transformation, nor one she has always been comfortable with. She has suffered from that peculiarly hurtful British attitude towards fame – thrusting adoration and attention on someone and then detesting them for it. There were difficult times in and out of the pool.
"She is much more mature now," says Furniss. "She knows that's all going to happen. She can't stop that happening. She's thankful that there are so many people who want her to do well, but at the same time it brings with it…" His voice trails off for a moment. "You've got to handle that. What doesn't break you, makes you stronger and that's what happened post-Beijing. It was a very difficult time and she got through that. She is lot stronger now because of that.
"Mentally, it took her some time to learn to live with being a household name all of a sudden. The whole expectation thing was cranked up, her expectation was cranked up – it was life-changing. She was only 19 when that happened. It was a steep learning curve. But she can handle that now, she is more relaxed, more in control of herself. Then she was a girl, now she is a mature woman who knows her own mind."
Being four years older has not only changed her mentally. Furniss and Adlington have altered her training schedule, introducing more land-based training. Adlington has been doing two sessions of gymnastics a week, working with two of the British coaches.
"What she could do at 19, she can't do in the same way," says Furniss. "Some things she can do a lot better, but the training regime she does is punishing – it's brutal. So we've had to alter that slightly as she's matured. She's pretty consistent: 20 hours in the pool a week, 10 two-hour sessions. She goes 70km (43.75 miles) a week more or less every week.
"We have changed her programme so it's far more gymnastic-based – to improve her agility and her leg strength and particularly her work around the walls on the turns. It was an area I felt she could improve on. What you're looking for is marginal gains all the time – that could make the difference. Those extra few tenths or even hundredths of a second, that can make that difference."
What makes the ultimate difference for Adlington, though, is ultimately fairly simple; she is a natural in the water, more technically gifted, believes Furniss, than anyone else who will climb on to those blocks in London, be it Michael Phelps or Missy Franklin. It is her environment.
"She has amazing stroke length, that's the first thing," says Furniss. "She's got this ability to keep a line in the water – nothing deviates, it's very compact, very precise. Most people increase speed by increasing the rate. Rebecca actually increases her speed by lengthening her stroke – her rate can drop, which is uncanny – you don't see that.
"She's just got an amazing ability, an amazing feel for the water. The gift she's got is she's very focused, very technically aware. I can say to one swimmer, 'Do this', and six seconds later she's not doing it.
"I say to Rebecca, 'Do this', and six years later she's still doing it. She's just got this amazing ability to concentrate, focus and apply herself. If you were to describe a textbook freestyle there is nobody better – male or female. It's perfect. It's everything you want."
And meet her rival who is scared of the deep end...
It's one of the favourite curiosities of the British swimming team that Rebecca Adlington is afraid of the sea. Federica Pellegrini can better that – Adlington's great rival in tomorrow's 400 metres freestyle does not like deep water. Two years ago she had to be pulled from the pool by her coach during a training session after a panic attack.
Pellegrini and Adlington are the same age, both 23, but they could not be more different. Adlington is a laid-back competitor who pays not the slightest bit of attention to what is going on around her. She has a steady home life and has been with her coach, Bill Furniss, from the start of her career.
Pellegrini is on her fourth coach in the last three years. Since Alberto Castagnetti, her long-time mentor, died suddenly of a heart attack the Italian has chopped and changed – including a spell based in Paris with Philippe Lucas, who oversaw the success of the French freestyler Laure Manaudou.
She is now back in Verona, where last year she chopped and changed boyfriends. Last summer she broke off her engagement to Luca Marin, a fellow swimmer. Her new partner is Filippo Magnini, another Italian swimmer.
When she gets in the pool Pellegrini, one of Italy's highest-profile sports star, has enormous ability. She was the first woman to break the four-minute barrier in the 400m and won a silver in 200m free in Athens aged just 16. But her ability to cope under pressure remains suspect.
She was a huge favourite going into the 400m in Beijing and finished fifth. She later won gold in the 200m and shone in the 2009 World Championships. But her preparations for London have been disastrous. She failed to make it out of the heats at the European Championships in May. Her best time in the 400m this year puts her ninth in the world rankings.
Nobody knows quite what to expect from Pellegrini. She arrived in London last weekend. "For the moment I am quite calm," she said, "although there are a few days to go."Reuse content

It's rare that a woman with a piano can command the attentions of the old, the young, the hip and the square alike, but fans of all varieties were rapt from the very first tinkling of the ivories at Regina Spektor's gig.
The New York anti-folkstress' inimitable brand of sassy plonky-tonk and quotidian drama strikes the perfect balance between knowing irony and a good old sing-along. They're the kind of songs that everyone imagines featuring on the soundtrack of their own personal biopic, encompassing everything from plaintive first love, via domestic kerfuffles, to keening modern tragedy.
Most tracks were from her album Far, released earlier this year, although standards like "Fidelity" and "On the Radio" were also on the menu, teasingly drawn out during a charged encore. It goes to show the old-fashioned power of a good tune and gnomic lyrics.
Recent outings include an appearance on the soundtrack of hit indie romance flick (500) Days of Summer, the nu-twee sensibilities of which seem to chime exactly with Spektor's and those of her fanbase. She is quirky without being threatening, and universally referential to the point of validating every listener's internalised emotional rollercoaster. Her innate winsomeness lies in an ability to fuse heart-swelling melodies and strong but idiosyncratic vocals with thoughtful lyrics that, although provocative and intelligent, remain accessibly witty and ubiquitous. A musical-theatre quality abides in some of Spektor's most soaring choruses and nursery rhyme-style simplicity, but any notions of triteness are dispelled by her self-styled spikiness. There's also plenty of "oohing" that even the laziest of part-time followers can join in with.
Spektor was at her strongest during the first segment of her set, in which she was accompanied by a string quartet and drums. She remains, first and foremost, a distinctive and talented musician, with an unshakable voice and keen ear , which was tested several times when she paused to retune her baby grand. Things sounded identical pre- and post-tuning to this untrained ear, but she is nothing if not a perfectionist. One giggling slip-up during her monolithic hit "Samson" caused her to start again, but it seemed oddly contrived.
It was a brief glimpse of Spektor's personality, so readily available through her songs but so sparsely presented on-stage. There was a tension in the crowd, like an elastic band pulled taut, that she never managed to expend. There was minimal conversation, multiple "thank yous" but little interaction. The brave few that attempted to dance soon gave it up when they received little encouragement. She rattled through her set like a true proficient, but she didn't pay her crowd much attention. A quibble given the faultlessness of her playing and the undiminished devotion among those in attendance, but an important factor in a live show, nevertheless.
Still, Regina Spektor rules supreme. Often compared to the likes of Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple and (God help us) Lisa Loeb, she has avoided the self- indulgence, aggression or, at worse, worthiness that the sight of a lone woman at a keyboard or with a guitar often connotes by keeping things light without being superficial. A cynic might point out that the fact she looks a bit like Betty Boop has probably helped no end, too.
