Governor signs bill expanding Oregon gun background checks
SALEM - Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed a bill Monday requiring background checks on firearm transfers between private parties, making Oregon the eighth state to require screening on nearly all gun sales.
The law, which takes effect immediately, requires gun buyers and sellers who aren't related to visit a licensed gun dealer who can run a background check.
"We have an obligation to protect Oregonians from gun violence," said Brown, a Democrat. "If we want to keep our kids, schools and communities safe we must make it harder for dangerous people to get guns."
Republicans vehemently opposed the measure. They say it will only burden gun owners who are committed to following the law without changing the behavior of people willing to break it.
"The good intentions behind Senate Bill 941 do not change the fact that it is a deeply flawed and unenforceable piece of legislation that targets responsible, law-abiding Oregonians," said Rep. Mike McLane, the top Republican in the House.
Brown's signature caps a long campaign by Oregon Democrats seeking stronger gun laws, which intensified following a 2012 shooting at a suburban shopping mall packed with Christmas shoppers. The bill's critics point out that the rifle used in that shooting was stolen. A 22-year-old gunman killed three people and injured a third before turning the gun on himself.
Backed by national gun-control groups, Democrats pushed for background check legislation in 2013 and 2014 but didn't have enough votes. The path to victory was paved when Democratic candidates picked up three legislative seats in the 2014 election, some of them with the help of gun-control groups such as former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety.
Three Democratic lawmakers are facing recall petitions that cite their support for expanded background checks, among other grievances, though the recall backers must collect thousands of signatures in a short time.

UBS lost an advisor team managing more than $170 million in AUM to Stifel, Nicolaus.
Advisors Clint Weaver and Joe Bozarth joined Stifel and opened an office in Waco, Texas, for the firm. The office is Stifels ninth in the Lone Star State. Weazer and Bozarth are joined by registered client service associate Lanna Zorn.
According to FINRA, Bozarth began his career at Merrill Lynch in 1979. He later joined UBS through its acquisition of Paine Webber. Weaver joined UBS in 2006.
The recent grabs come a week after Stifel recruited three former Raymond James advisors for a new office in Atlanta. The trio formed a team with an existing Stifel advisor, and together the four advisors manage about $490 million in assets.
The St. Louis-based brokerage has recruited more than 65 advisors so far this year.

Ingested foreign bodies in children
Ingested foreign bodies in children are common as the world is a curious place to young children, who will put anything and everything into their mouth, and will often inadvertently swallow.
The usual practice is for plain films of the chest/abdomen to identify a foreign body.
On this page:
Peak incidence of foreign body ingestion is between six months and six years 1.
Clinical presentation
Approximately 50% of children will be asymptomatic 2.
Coins are the most commonly ingested foreign body 3, along with toys, batteries, bones, and almost anything that can fit into a child's mouth.
Radiographic features
Plain radiograph
- in one study ~65% of ingested foreign bodies were radiodense 2
Treatment and prognosis
Most foreign bodies make it into the stomach and beyond with up to 80% passing spontaneously 1. Batteries have a high rate of complication and should be urgently removed 3.

Stone Age West Asia
By around 10,000 BC, people in West Asia were beginning to settle down in one place instead of travelling around, even though they were still hunting and gathering. Probably this was because the end of the Ice Age was making West Asia so warm and wet and fertile that people didn't need to travel around in order to get enough food anymore. They could just find enough food right where they were.
The beginning of farming
Once they were settled down, some of these people, called the Natufians (nah-TOOF-ee-uns), began to farm a little, but in a simple way. They had tame dogs. They traded with other villages for obsidian, jewels, and salt. They built stone temples for their gods. This might be the time that the Bible remembers as the Garden of Eden.
But then the climate got a little colder and drier again, around 8000 BC, and there wasn't enough food anymore. Some people went back to travelling around to get food. Other people began to put more work into farming wheat and barley, to raise enough food. These people didn't get as good food as the hunter-gatherers, but they could feed more people.
People began to build larger towns about this time. The oldest village that we know of, where archaeologists have dug up the houses people lived in, is at Jericho along the Jordan river in modern Palestine. It dates to about 9000 BC. By 8000 BC, about 2000 people lived there, in small round houses made of mud-brick, and they made clay masks, painted white, to remember people when they died. They began to use number tokens. They built a wall around their village to keep out animals and other people; their wall was twelve feet (3.6 meters) high and almost ten feet (3 meters) thick!
Catal Huyuk
Another old village is at Catal Huyuk (pronounced cha-tal-hoo-YUK), in Turkey. People built Catal Huyuk around 8000 BC, because it was near a good source of obsidian, and the people of Catal Huyuk got rich selling obsidian to their neighbors. It was much bigger than Jericho. Probably by around 6000 BC, 6000 people lived there. These people knew how to spin and weave cloth. They had learned to make pottery, probably from Central Asian people. They built mud-brick houses that you got into by climbing wooden ladders into the windows or into a trapdoor in the roof. The people of Catal Huyuk showed off their wealth by building a big mud-brick temple for their gods, which they decorated with the heads of bulls and also with images of a young goddess, a mother goddess, and an old goddess, representing the three stages of life.
At Jarmo in Iraq, further east, there was a village starting about 7000 BC. It had a stone wall and a stone watchtower, forty feet (12 meters) high! This is another sign that the area was becoming more crowded, and that farming was becoming more important. People were beginning to fight each other over land, and so people had to defend the land they had with walls and watchtowers and stone-tipped spears.
Domesticated animals
Now that they couldn't travel to hunt anymore, people also began to tame animals so they would always have them around their houses. By the time of these villages, West Asian farmers were also growing a lot of different crops including, for example, figs, almonds, lentils, apples, and opium. People had also domesticated (tamed) sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs.
