Filmmaker and film activist Pip Chodorov offers this affectionate overview of some of the leading figures of 20th century experimental film. Narrating in a personal and plainspoken manner ("I'd like you to meet some of my friends and see their films"), Chodorov combines clips and even films in their entirety with conversations with such luminaries as Hans Richter, Robert Breer, Michael Snow, Peter Kubelka and Stan Brakhage in his final recorded interview. The film, which takes its title from Len Lye's direct animation classic, shows how avant-garde filmmakers were often left in a no man's land between the art world and the commercial film industry. It was up to visionaries like Jonas Mekas and the organizations he founded — Film-Makers' Cooperative, Anthology Film Archive — to help struggling filmmakers out. (At one point, Ken Jacobs describes dumpster diving for food.) Warm and inspiring, Chodorov's film is part essay and part loving tribute. –AFI Film Festival
It more accurately could be called "A History of Anthology Film Archives," which is still great and worth documenting, but it's (obviously) not really a wide overview of experimental film. Some great interviews - Ken Jacobs and Robert Breer in particular. Wanted way more Brakhage.
My take on it: it is A History of Experimental Film, not THE History. I think the filmmaker comes at it from a personal way and tells the story of his life in experimental film, not claiming that this is the only path. It's the antithesis of what Mark Cousins attempted with The Story of Film: An Odyssey. I would love to see a whole series of these type of films.

The desperate plight of our brethreh In Europe and the em battled situatlot) of our brothers In Palestine must be recognized as the consequences of grave flaws in modern civilization. Not only the Jews of Europe anti Palestine will be the vlctlm.q of this blight, and not only Israel eveVywiiere, but all In present- day .society which truly repre¬ sents civilization will be tj-amp- led and crushed unless the for¬ ces of higher humanity gird themselves for' battle. This will be a battle for all peoples — the British among them; When we pray for our¬ selves and for our people, let us pray ateo that with God's grace the Britain of Dunkirk win overcome the Britain which shamelessly and ruthlessly drives back to living death the tortured souls who sought freedom on the "Exodus 1947." Upon the High Holy Days we proclaim, "At Rosh Hashonah it is written, and on Yom Kippur it Is inscribed." The purposes with which we gird ourselves at this time and the determina¬ tion with which we maintain these purposes have a vital t)6arlng upon what may Indeed transpire in the coming year. The evil which Nazidom person¬ ified still pervades the earth and will again produce monstrous growths unless it, Is checked. We Jews, inspired liy our Torah and upheld by the merits of our forefathers, must take the lead in this cause. Be we shall have many allies, for God-Peat- Ing men and women everywhere will come forward—our cause and theirs is one. We must fit ourselves for this Red Cross to Conduct Classes In "Mother And Baby Care" Two classes In "Mother .and Baby Care" wljr be given by the Red Cross. One will be a day¬ time class and the other an eve¬ ning class for both expectant fathers and mothers. Instruction is given in the care of the moth¬ er both before and after the ar¬ rival of the new baby, and the care of the baby until the age of one year has been reached. The daytime class will meet three times each week for a two- week period on Mondays, Wed¬ nesdays and Fridays, starting Monday, September 15, 1:30 to 3:30 P. M. The evening class will meet twice each week for a three-week period on Mondays and Wednes¬ day nights, starting Monday, September S2, 7:30 to 0:30 P. M. Both cla.s.ses will be held in the home nursing classroom. Red Cross Headquarters, 74 E. Gay St. Registration for either class may be made hy calling the American Red Cross, MA.. 6841.

UJA CONFERENCE PLEADS FOR SPEDY COLLECTION OF PLEDGES TO 1947 DRIVE NEW YORK (WNS) — The two-day national conference of the United Jewish Appeal, con¬ vened for the purpose of inaug¬ urating tite fall campaign ot the .$170,000,1100 UJA goal for 1947. concluded with a resolution urg¬ ing acceleration in the collection of pledges to the drive. Herbert H. Lehman, fonner Governor of the State- of New York, told the conference that hunger and homelessness was mounting in every Jewish com¬ munity in Eastern and Southern Europe and that tho needs of the surviving Jews today wore "far greater than ever before." Mr. Lehman warned that these survivors are facing a disastrous situation in Ihe coming winter months unless the relief, reha¬ bilitation and re.sottlement .pro¬ grams of the UJA agencies are expanded lo offset the reductions In intergovernmental relief pro¬ grams. He told the Jeu i.-ih leaders at¬ tending tho UJA conference at the Hotel Astor that the plight of tho 2,'i0,000 Jews in the dis- .,".,, . 1, ff. . , . placed persons camps "is grow ident.

Tills will be divided in two parts, the first of which will be given at the evening services and the second al the morning service, which will open at Temple Israel at 10 a. m., Monday, Sept. 15.

Declaring that world events had' demonstrated that the .sole solution of the Jewish DP problems rested iri immediate, large-scale emigra¬ tion of homeless European Ji ws to Palestine, the United States and other lands, ¦ Mr. Lehman stressed that "if we are to re¬ lieve that suffering and those needs, we must take action to¬ day to assure the attainment in full of the $170,000,000 goal of tne United Jewish-,Appeal for this year." Henry Morgenthau', Jr., gen¬ eral chairman of the UJA $170,- 000,000 campaign, reported that great tasl^. Liet us, at these High Holy Days, purify cur hearts. Then we shall find, as did our fathers before us, that confidence will replace fear and strength will replace weakness. Staunch In the service of the Almighty, we shall acquire a measure of power which will not be less potent because It is moral power. In the litiu-gy pf our High Holy Days we pray to the Lord: "That all creatures prostrate themselves before Thee, that they may form a single band to do Thy will with a perfect heart."

He declared that the UJA agencies were "hard press¬ ed to make up the deficiencies in Intergovernmental relief and rehabilitation aid since the liq¬ uidation of UNRRA on July 1," that the plight of the Jewish survivors of Hitlerism was as desperate as ever and that It was, therefore, "the task of the Jews In America, through the $170,000,000 campaign of the United .lewlsh Appeal, to sustain their morale and improve their phy.-iical a n d spiritual exis¬ tence." Ur. Israel Goldstein, national chairman of the United Jewish Appeal who has recently re¬ lurned from a visit to Europe and Palestine, urged the United Nations to bring about the Im¬ mediate entry to Palestine of the 4,.300 Exodus refugees, who were shipped to Germany by Britain. He said that the depor¬ tation of the Exodus refugees to Germany was "the severest blow to the hopes of European Jewry since the end of the Hit¬ ler regime" and that "unless the doors ot Palestine are opened wide in the coming months, many of the remaining Jews in Europe will be doomed to the existence of outcasts and fugi¬ tives." Edward M. Warburg, chair¬ man of the UJA of Greater New York and of the Joint Distribu¬ tion Committee, stressed that the UJA campaign for funds was not only responsible for the saving of hundreds of thous¬ ands of lives but has also weld¬ ed together all elemehts of the American Jewish community Into a powerful force for the advancement of Jewish commun¬ ity life throughout the United States. In the United Jewish Appeal, he said, "we have found solidarity which Is not only one ot our most important Jewish assets, but is also one of our most Important contributions as Americans to our own country."

Our 17 Experts are divided over the winner of the Best Actress (Play) race at the Tony Awards.
Eleven of them are predicting that Tracie Bennett will win for her Olivier-nominated portrayal of Judy Garland in "End of the Rainbow." They are: Melissa Bernardo (EW), Martin Denton (NY Theatre), Frank DiLella (NY1), Elysa Gardner (USA Today), Harry Haun (Playbill), Brian Lipton (Theatermania), Michael Musto ("Village Voice"), Tom O'Neil (Gold Derby), Blake Ross (Playbill), Doug Strassler (NY Press) and Wayman Wong (NY Daily News). This support gives Bennett the edge at 1 to 1.
Five of our Experts -- Thom Geier (EW), Susan Haskins (Theater Talk), Andy Humm (Gay USA), Paul Sheehan (Gold Derby) and Matt Windman (amNY) -- foresee Nina Arianda winning for reprising her off-Broadway role as a mainipulative actress in "Venus in Fur." She has odds of 12 to 5.
David Sheward (Backstage) is backing the bid by Stockard Channing for her performance as a brittle society matron in "Other Desert Cities." She won this award in 1985 for "A Day in the Death of Joe Egg" and has contended in this category three times since. She has odds of 15 to 2.
Linda Lavin, who featured in the off-Broadway run of "Cities" as Channing's liberal sister, contends for her starring role as a matriarch in "The Lyons." She has odds of 12 to 1 to take home a bookend to her 1987 award for Neil Simon's "Broadway Bound."
And Cynthia Nixon, who won this race in 2006 for "Rabbit Hole," has odds of 50 to 1 to repeat for her work in "Wit."

90Combined with the fun dogfighting and smart stylus control, this is better action than we deserve in a portable.
90Star Fox Command has great controls and introduces a strategic layer that's fairly interesting. However, the random feel of the story battles and the frantic multiplayer mode don't make the most of this game's solid foundation, which might cause nostalgic fans to long for the series' good old days.
88The game looks and runs great, controls wonderfully and is a perfect example of gaming done right on the DS.
88Just saying the word 'strategy' may turn off some gamers who aren't typically into that genre, but even if you're not, at least give a shot. We have a feeling many people will be pleasantly surprised.
87Though some of its design is questionable, the game is still one of the best Star Fox branded titles in years. The varied and branching single player campaign will keep you glued to your Nintendo DS for multiple playthroughs.
The combination of classic and new elements makes it the most wholly satisfying Star Fox game yet. [Oct. 2006, p.88]

"I really liked our intensity on defense tonight," said head coach Jeremy Knick. "We communicated well and worked a lot harder. That was our emphasis tonight.
"I thought we did a nice job most of the night making them take difficult shots and getting deflections. I thought the team as a whole worked much better together on the defensive side. This was a good team effort and it paid off."
The Knights, who are now 4-1 in league play, were led by Blake Ohren, Tanner Langlie and J.P. Moe who dropped in 16, 12 and 12 points, respectively.
Ohren also had eight rebounds, five blocks and three assists, with Langlie adding six rebounds, four assists and a block. Moe contributed five rebounds and three assists.

Welbeck or Chicharito: Which Manchester United striker is most under threat?
Goal.com has exclusively revealed Atletico Madrid's interest in Chicharito and with Robert Lewandowski linked with a summer move, Sir Alex Ferguson could choose to let a forward go
DEBATEBy Oliver Platt
Manchester United's irresistible attacking quartet has put the 19-times champions on course to match Chelsea's record Premier League points tally of 95 but Sir Alex Ferguson could be tempted into making further tweaks to his forward line in the close season.
Goal.com exclusively revealed on Tuesday that Atletico Madrid have targeted Mexico international Chicharito amid speculation surrounding the future of strike duo Falcao and Adrian Lopez.
Robert Lewandowski looks set to move from Borussia Dortmund to Old Trafford in the summer and for all the success United's illustrious collection of forwards have brought so far, surely even Ferguson would struggle to balance the competing ambitions of five full international strikers.
Robin van Persie has been such a success that he has already drawn favourable comparisons with club icon Eric Cantona, while Wayne Rooney remains his nation's finest front man. Danny Welbeck has progressed through the club's academy to earn a place in the first team and Chicharito has proved himself to be a model professional with a killer instinct that has got United out of jail on more than one occasion.
Something, though, may have to give. Goal.com examines the extent to which each player could come under threat in the coming months.
This one is straightforward. Van Persie is quickly establishing himself not only as United's premier striker - that much seems a given already - but as one of Ferguson's best signings in more than 26 years in charge.
The princely sum of €28.8 million would normally be considered a hefty fee for a 29-year-old but in a climate of high-profile failures, Van Persie represents good value. Some United fans have voiced concerns at the failure to address certain weaknesses under the ownership of the Glazer family and perhaps fear that Ferguson is adopting a Wengerite mantra of stubborn prudence, but he has retained his taste for a marquee purchase.
It hardly needs to be said that the Cantona comparisons are premature but certainly Van Persie's influence so far this season can be placed alongside that of the likes of Thierry Henry and Didier Drogba in their title-winning Arsenal and Chelsea teams.
Van Persie scooped player of the year honours in 2011-12 despite Arsenal's failure to compete for medals and this season, at his current pace, it is difficult to imagine him losing his grip on them. He will not be making another move any time soon.
Rooney has not found goals and form difficult to come by as United's out-and-out centre forward but now he has a chance to shine in his favoured position. "It's hard when you're 5ft 10in and you're up against centre-halves who are 6ft 3in, but it's my second favourite position after playing off another striker," he has said of the lone striking role. There are few better to play off than Van Persie.
Rooney has not scored at the Dutchman's prolific rate from his more withdrawn berth but he has weighed in with more assists despite being limited to 14 league appearances due to injury. Only Juan Mata and Steven Gerrard are ahead of him in that regard, but only by one assist having both played more matches.
Most have been happy to forgive and forget but it is difficult to imagine that the relationship between Rooney and Ferguson was not in some way tainted by the 26-year-old's shock transfer request in October 2010.
For that reason it is perhaps no longer unthinkable that Rooney could leave Old Trafford, but it would nevertheless be a shock of some magnitude to see him depart in the immediate future. He is the most creative of the club's forwards and clearly the most comfortable in the deeper-lying role.
After a slower 2011-12 campaign, Javier Hernandez, or Chicharito, is back on track and well on his way to putting away 20 goals in a season for the second time in his three-year career so far in the north west.
Chicharito's value lies not simply in his tremendous goalscoring prowess but equally in his humble nature and willingness to wait for his chance in the starting XI. He is reminiscent of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not only in his boyish appearance.
When juggling four strikers of such quality, that is invaluable. How long it will last is another matter. For all Chicharito has achieved in two-and-a-half years at Old Trafford, he could have more to give; it is difficult to see him being truly entrusted with the centre forward position at United in order to prove himself as a genuinely lethal No.9 in European football.
Chicharito has been linked with a move away from United, often to La Liga, before and Atletico, who could move Falcao and Adrian on as they did Fernando Torres and Sergio Aguero, might offer him the perfect chance. Ferguson would surely not begrudge him it.
First team opportunities have been difficult to come by for Welbeck to the extent that he was linked with a loan switch to Reading earlier in January. Those rumours have since been shot down by Royals boss Brian McDermott, but they were indicative of the frustrating time the 22-year-old has had so far in 2012-13.
Welbeck is yet to establish himself as a truly prolific striker but he is quick, strong and technically gifted. He is also a highly-accomplished player off the ball for his age. But after notching a respectable 12 last season, the Longsight-born player's only goal in the current campaign came against Stoke back in October.
He has scored three times in his last three outings in a role of increasing prominence for England, but Van Persie has proved an immovable object at club level and Chicharito has become the recognised bench threat.
Ferguson would surely loath to allow an academy graduate of such ability leave the club so early in his career but he faces a challenge in integrating Welbeck to the benefit of the striker's continuing development, while Van Persie and Rooney dominate the picture.

International Food Court (Bush and Kearny) Reopens
Ambling down Kearny Street this evening I noticed flashy new signage announcing the Grand Reopening of the International Food Court at Bush and Kearny, which closed a few years ago after an underground electrical fire. It was after hours and closed, but a Yelp review confirmed it had indeed reopened today. The Pho place and Sushi Tosuki, at the very least are back. I plan to check on it tomorrow.
A quick followup: had a bun bo hue from Pho Express in the IFC, which was quite a generous portion: I received two decent-sized pieces of pigs' knuckles, several cubes of blood, a handful of beef, and a few slices of steamed pork to boot. The broth was rich with an almost-thick mouthfeel, but underseasoned, one-note and not quite spicy enough. Good enough to have again, but not anytime soon with so many menu items to explore!
I happily went to the Filipino place today, grateful for some lunch variety. I got dinuguan, a pork blood stew, and picadillo over rice for a little under $8. I didn't detect offal in the stew, and did not particularly care for the meat in it, which was cut into either dry, lean pieces with very little fat, or pieces that were completely fat. The stew itself, however, was pretty delicious, rich but balanced with vinegar cutting through the fat. I'll be trying the adobo in the next couple of days - the dark, thick adobo sauce looked very attractive.
Nobody knows if the people operating the Burmese place will be back; their kitchen still looks untouched. The Mexican place wasn't open yet either as of 10:30 AM today.

The chicken adobo was tasty enough - leans towards the tangier end of the adobo spectrum, and I was grateful for a big extra ladleful of sauce on my rice. Chicken was a bit dry, though. The real star was a taro leaf dish, braised to tenderness (but not mush) and laden with shrimp paste and shrimp - I got a couple shrimp and five (!) shrimp heads in my mound of veggies. After eating this, I am convinced that there is no vegetable in the world that shrimp paste does not improve.
I also got a sticky rice cake (biko?), still warm and saturated with fat and syrup - tastes like a sticky brick of sugar, which is to say: awesome, but I'm not sure I'm up for this challenge again at 11 AM.
Figures... I was working a temp job down there and kept searching Yelp for a Burmese restaurants which said it was in the food court. Of course Yelp hadn't updated their site to show it was closed and I couldn't figure out where the Burmese restaurant was.
Now it all makes sense and I'm no longer in the neighborhood!

Looky Yonder Tests Calder Track Ahead of Princess Rooney
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (July 10, 2008) - Trainer Rick Dutrow, Jr. holds a strong hand on Saturday at Calder Race Course with IEAH Stables and partners' 5-year-old Benny the Bull the favorite in the $400,000 Smile Sprint Handicap (G2) and Lansdon Robbins III's 4-year-old filly Looky Yonder a top contender in the $400,000 Princess Rooney Handicap (G1) on the 'Summit of Speed' card.
Both sprint stars arrived in South Florida Tuesday on a Tex Sutton Forwarding charter flight from New York and Looky Yonder was given a test over the Calder track Thursday morning, breezing an easy three-eighths in 38 3/5 under assistant trainer and exercise rider Michelle Nevin. Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado will be on hand to ride both Dutrow stars on Saturday.
In races set immediately before and after the four Graded stakes worth $1.3 million on Saturday's 'Summit of Speed' program at Calder Race Course, a number of the leading 2-year-olds developed here early this summer will line up for the $55,000 Frank Gomez Memorial and $55,000 J J's Dream to be run at six furlongs, the latter restricted to fillies.
J. Robert Harris, Jr.'s Bee Cee Cee has emerged as the top colt unveiled at the session, winning both of his starts for trainer Eddie Plesa, Jr., and should rule the favorite in a field of eight colts and geldings in the Frank Gomez Memorial with Edgar Prado picking up the mount.
Purchased for $200,000 at the OBS February 2-year-old sales, Bee Cee Cee is by Songandaprayer and won his debut by 3 ¾ lengths going 4 ½ furlongs in late April and came back to score by four lengths in the BLs Sweep overnight stakes on June 15 at five furlongs. Plesa also sends out Padua Stable's Ideal Exchange with Manuel Aguilar in the saddle after the gelding by Exchange Rate finished second to Bee Cee Cee in the BLs Sweep.
Two others in the field for the Frank Gomez were very impressive debut winners with Soldi Stable's Sabi Sabi, also by Songandprayer, romping home by 5 ¾ lengths on June 7 for trainer Jose Garoffalo; and Dianne Waldron's For All Who Conga, by Congaree, scoring by 2 ½ lengths on June 15 for trainer Bill White. Jockey Javier Santiago rides Sabi Sabi and Elvis Trujillo picks up the mount on For All Who Conga.
Completing the field for the Frank Gomez Memorial are Stride Rite Stable and NTS Stable's Purely by Chance, Jacks or Better Farm's Stamen, Teresa and David Palmer's D.C.'s Legacy, Moscow Nights LLC's Meshuga, Lisa & Lloyd Carnes' Code Runner, Monarch Stables' B L's Noise, and Ronald Morgan's Red Nation.
Brenda Tabraue's La Chica Sensual is the only two-time winner among seven 2-year-old fillies entered in the J J's Dream, but also the only one to have started more than once. Jockey Ray Fuentes gets a return call on La Chica Sensual for trainer Pablo Andrade. A roan/gray daughter of Lightnin N Thunder, she won her debut for a $40,000 claiming tag in late May and her second outing in a starter/allowance on June 26.
Completing the field for the J J's Dream are Joel Kligman's Jungle Jill, New Life Stable's Hopeful Image, Jacks or Better Farm's Garter Belt, Sterling Stables' Shabacchi, Janet Erwin and Terry Oliver's Additional Prayer and Stride Rite Racing Stable and NTS Stable's Tiger's Song.
Prado & Baze among Eight Jockeys Flying in for 'Summit' Mounts
The four Graded stakes worth $1.3 million to be run on Saturday's 'Summit of Speed' program at Calder Race Course attracted a total of 31 entries with 14 shipping in from major racing centers across North America, and eight jockeys are also scheduled to make the trip for one or more mounts in the rich events.
Jockey Edgar Prado has mounts in all four of the Graded stakes, including Benny the Bull and Looky Yonder for trainer Rick Dutrow, as he looks forward to his well-deserved induction into the National Museum of Racing & Hall of Fame next month in Saratoga Springs, New York. Prado has had four mounts in the 'Big Four' stakes here previously, all in 2006, winning the Carry Back Stakes (G2) aboard Too Much Bling for trainer Bob Baffert.
Veteran Hall of Famer Russell Baze has made the trip to the 'Summit' twice previously in 2005 and 2006, most notably for the winning mount on Lost in the Fog in the Carry Back the first time and back the next summer to ride the Eclipse Award sprinter to a disappointing ninth-place finish in the Smile Sprint Handicap (G2), a race that turned out to be the ill-fated champion's career finale.
Baze also rode 3-year-old filly Victorina to win the 2006 Azalea Breeders' Cup (G3) and continues to extend his career record total as North America's all-time leader in winners with 10,204 through July 8. Prado ranks 15th on that list with 6,087 victories. Baze's principal mount will be Indyanne for trainer Greg Gilchrist, who guided the careers of Lost in the Fog and Victorina for recently deceased owner and long-time friend and client Harry Aleo.
A victory aboard Mach Ride in the Smile Sprint Handicap (G2) and fourth-place finish aboard 6-year-old mare Maryfield in the Princess Rooney Handicap (G1) on 'Summit' day last year did much to buoy the career of jockey Elvis Trujillo, who returns from his summer base this year at Monmouth Park with mounts in all four of the Graded stakes.
Trujillo, 24, was based at Calder the last two years, finishing second in the 2006 Calder Meet standings behind veteran Manoel Cruz and winning the title last year. After missing much of the Gulfstream Park meet with an injury early this year, he rode here the first two weeks of this meet during his comeback before moving on to Churchill Downs and then Monmouth.
Trainer Doug O'Neill and Maryfield's owners were sufficiently impressed by Trujillo's ride in the Princess Rooney that they retained him for the final two starts of her campaign as she won the Ballerina Handicap (G1) at Saratoga and inaugural Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint at Monmouth Park, sealing an Eclipse Award season.
The other jockeys flying in for mounts Saturday are Corey Nakatani and Victor Espinoza from Southern California, Jamie Theriot from Kentucky, Mario Gutierrez from Hastings Park near Vancouver, British Columbia, and Eibar Coa from New York. Coa won four Calder Meet titles and three Tropical Meet championships before moving on and currently ranks atop the Belmont Park standings.
Calder to Offer Super High-5 Wager Starting Saturday
Calder will begin offering the "Super Hi-5" wager this Saturday. Billed as "a new way to win big, and fast," the Super Hi-5 challenges players to pick the top five finishers in order in the last race at Calder each day.
The Hi-5 is a $1 "carryover" bet where the pool gets bigger every day until someone gets it right. A "Betting Ideas" section for some Hi-5 betting strategies designed for budgets of every size is available on the Calder Web site at http://www.calderracecourse.com.
The Super Hi-5 will replace Superfecta wagering on the races on which the Super Hi-5 is offered. Superfectas will be offered on all other races.

Biden, NRA set to meet
WASHINGTON The Obama administration is sitting down with gun owners groups -- including the National Rifle Association -- as officials look at ways to curb gun violence.
Vice President Biden, who is leading an administration-wide review of gun safety laws, has vowed urgent action in the wake of last month's massacre at a Connecticut elementary school.
The meeting with the NRA is one of three Biden has scheduled for Thursday, as he prepares to make recommendations on gun policy by the end of the month. Besides the NRA, Biden and other officials are meeting with sportsmen and wildlife interest groups, as well as people from the entertainment industry.
The NRA, the nation's largest gun-rights group, has blocked gun control efforts in the past and is opposing any new ones.
Shortly after last month's shooting in Newtown, Conn., President Obama tasked Biden with heading a commission to come up with recommendations on gun policy by the end of January.
Mr. Obama supports steps including reinstating a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines and closing loopholes that enable many gun buyers to avoid background checks.
Morgan: Gun control debate "must be heard"
But the White House will likely recommend that Congress go further by requiring universal background checks for gun buyers and establishing a national gun database, reports CBS News White House correspondent Bill Plante.
Senior administration officials tell CBS News the president is likely to unveil his ideas to reduce gun violence next week. He will also push his gun control agenda in his State of the Union address next month.
Biden, who met with representatives of victims groups and gun-safety organizations Wednesday, said officials are considering steps that could "take thousands of people out of harm's way" and improve the safety of millions more.
- New Conn. gun measures met with opposition
- Christie: Talking gun control is not enough
- Gun control group seeks "middle ground"
"I want to make it clear that we are not going to get caught up in the notion that unless we can do everything, we're going to do nothing," Biden told groups including the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "It's critically important we act."
Administration officials face tougher audiences today in meeting with the NRA, as well as gun retailers. Attorney General Eric Holder is hosting the meeting with retailers this afternoon, which in addition to Wal-Mart will include, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Bass Pro Shops, Big 5 Sporting Goods, Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Dunham's Sports, Gander Mountain, and Sportsman's Warehouse.
The NRA's executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, has dismissed the assault weapons ban as "a phony piece of legislation" and has recommended putting armed guards in all schools as a way to stop another school shooting.
In a radio interview late Tuesday night with Brooklyn GOP Radio, NRA President David Keene lashed out at both Mr. Obama and Biden, saying, "I think they're being disingenuous. I think that they've seen this as an opportunity to go after the Second Amendment, which they've wanted to do for years, if not decades, and I think they're going to do everything they can to strip Americans of their right to keep and bear arms."
Biden said he wanted to hear from "all parties, on whatever side of this debate you fall."
In a nod to political realities that could imperil sweeping gun-control legislation, Biden said the administration is weighing executive action in addition to recommending legislation by Congress.
Recommendations to the Biden group include making gun-trafficking a felony, getting the Justice Department to prosecute people caught lying on gun background-check forms and ordering federal agencies to send data to the National Gun Background Check Database.
The Brady Campaign says some 40 percent of gun sales are made without background checks, such as at gun shows and over the Internet.
The shootings in Newtown, in which 20 children and six adults were killed by a man with a military-style semiautomatic rifle, have prodded the administration to act. Mr. Obama had remained largely silent on gun control after the 2011 shootings in Tucson, Ariz., that killed six people and wounded 12 others, including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and the Colorado movie theater killing of a dozen people and wounding of many more last July.
Biden, referring to the Newtown shootings, said at the White House, "Every once in a while, there's something that awakens the conscience of the country, and that tragic event did it in a way like nothing I've seen in my career."
Biden said he and Mr. Obama are determined to take action.
"We can affect the well-being of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm's way if we act responsibly," he said.
The president hopes to announce his administration's next steps to tackle gun violence shortly after he is sworn in for a second term.

Private firearm ownership has skyrocketed while firearm related deaths continue to decline, so the information provided by the anti-firearms group is flawed and purposely deceitful.
Typical - reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- Some more scary truth,
From 2006 thru 2010 firearms related deaths have fallen by almost 17% , so again these statistics point to a reduction of firearm related violence AFTER the assault weapons ban of '92 expired.

Those that would deprive the Citizens of these United States continue to scamper away from the truth, the facts, statistics, and numbers do not support their positions so they get angry and make up scenarios to twist the perceptions of those that are neutral in this debate.
Because their truth does not support their position, they must be driven by an agenda not made public. - reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- So,
With violent crime and murder going down by 50% in the last 20 years I am curious which part of the firearms bans have been successful in actually reducing these crimes ?
The violent crimes and murders started declining 2 years before the failed assault weapons ban of '94 and continued to decline 7 years after the sun set on that ignorant idea, so again with the population increasing the violence and murders dropped.
In 1992 violent crimes accounted for 757 per 100000 and murders were at 9.3 per 100000
in 2011 Violent crimes accounted for 386 per 100000 and murders were at 4.7 per 100000
By the way, Great Brittan and Wales have a violent crime rate 3.5 times greater than the United States which is at 1361 per 100000.
Though they have a lower murder rate which is at 1.3 which is about 3.5 times lower than ours we have a population almost 6 times larger than theirs.
So again how do the gun grabbing ideas actually work according to the numbers ?
Bunch of pathetic losers bent on some twisted agenda based on moronic ideals that do not work

The NRA would never let the 2nd amendment be amended no matter how many 6 year old kids lay dead in their classroom...
Incidents of which you speak, while shocking and emotional, do not comprise a high enough percentage of gun violence to warrant sweeping restrictions of our rights.
It has already been proven that gun control laws do not have any impact on gun violence and, unless you have a crystal ball, you cannot say any gun control law would have prevented this incident from happening.

- EMPIRE_GEORGE_----------- replies:
The Supreme Court held:[43]
(1) The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Pp. 2-53.
This is another part of the dilemma over gun ownership rights. The court has generally held in recent years that the Second Amendment is an individual, not "collective" right. It is a specific right, not a "human" right. It can be taken away, and even not apply to many people in this society, such an illegal residents, convicts, and unnaturalized citizens yet to be granted full citizenship. It also doesn't apply to military or paramilitary contexts, either.
The term militia essentially means a "militia of one," but only those that are protected exclusively in their individual right to bear arms. In many contexts, rights to weapons possession and use is not individualized as a right or action protected under the law, and the military, paramilitary and civilian boundaries distinguishing between the two is sometimes complicated. - reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- "Militia" in the historical context of when the amendment was written generally meant "the people", and "well regulated" refered to something be in "good working order" - it didn't mean a trained force or militia troops walking in lock step.
Freedom of speech, religion, public assembly and bearing arms can be, and are, restricted. They are not blanket rights, and were never intended to be so.
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- "They are not blanket rights, and were never intended to be so."
Hence part of the reason they are YOUR individual rights, not necessarily everyone else's AND yours. I am not sure we are in disagreement, except to say that the term "militia" certainly did mean people in 'lockstep' with one another, bearing arms. Ever heard of Lexington and Concord?
Now tell me that those like Paul Revere and others, and the ones who fought and died for independence were not a militia, leave alone well-regulated or not. They were "The People," but that doesn't mean they were defending against and at war with others who were of "The People" as well. When together and at war against the British, they were not.
That was the "collective" side of the Second Amendment, not every citizen bearing arms as a matter of only personal protection or sport, or target practice. That's the individual side, one much more relevant today than in the collective sense of the right, 237 years ago.

- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- In the context of politics it refers to people who just react to external influences and other stimuli without thinking about the consequences. So they just react. Another good example are those who say things like we don't have a good immigration policy so we just need to build a giant wall along the entire border. Or the people who locked up Muslim people after 911.
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- Or maybe it refers to those who attack others who disagree with them by name calling and semantics, right time?

The poster of this article is either: a) Wealthy to the point that spending over $200 on a sweater that you wear for four months is meaningless.
b) Not pregnant, but just going 'Omg look at all the beautiful pregnant ladies and clothes!' There are so many flaws here I can't even. First, you realise summer is coming right? Even in the UK, a leather jacket is a bit much. Adding sunglasses to the list is insulting—do you think my head is really swelling *that* much? That Free People tunic? Yeah. Not pregnancy approved. I'm sure you're all like, 'But omg it's big and billowy!' Great. Doesn't stretch. Ever try to put a shirt on that was once big and billowy on you but isn't any more? You CANNOT get it on. Stretch is your friend. From someone who is 6 months pregnant and due the end of August, let me tell you real necessities (for a summer pregnancy): A goddamn bra.
Maxi dresses (they work early on and throughout the pregnancy if they're jersey!)
Jeans (or a band so your old pants fit)
Shirts Done. All that extraneous spending? Have you seen the statistics on how much the first year alone costs? Anywhere from 5k-10k GBP (so that's even more in USD!). Makes you really think about your choices in buying that 'cute' (blech) cape for $300.
