Teacher Discovery Placement Scheme
What is a teacher placement?
Teacher Placements are professional development experiences, work placements or internships in business and industry, which enable teachers or career counsellors to spend a period of time working with an employer. Teacher placements are optimal to facilitate STEM education through hands-on and real-life experiences, providing a full range of skills.
Teacher Discovery Placement Scheme
For this reason, the STEM Alliance has developed the Teacher Discovery Placement Scheme, an initiative in collaboration with the SYSTEMIC project that highlights existing placement programmes and help ensure the success, promotion and development of these placements.
Benefits for Schools
- Through placement, teachers can upgrade their competence, knowledge and skills regarding STEM subjects, providing up-to-dated insight about the current situation of STEM careers.
- Developing the knowledge of STEM subject can open the opportunities available for students, enhancing their potential and stimulating their curiosity and attention by bringing careers in classrooms.
Benefits for Companies
- Companies involved profit from attracting new generations of students into STEM careers.
- STEM industry can benefit from the opportunity of a low cost, small-scale investment for long term, consistent impact on the future of skilled workforce.
- Placements support the talent pipeline and improve companies' recruitment process
- Foster local partnership between STEM organisations and schools for educational opportunities such as workshops and apprenticeships.
Benefits for Policy Makers
- Ensures lifelong learning opportunities for educational staff and provides continuous teacher training and upskilling with real life experience in STEM industry.
- Facilitates young people's professional development and their transition into the job market.
- Ministries of Education benefits from an ecosystem to engage teachers in placements in industry.
Teacher Placement Initiatives - Collection of Best Practices
The STEM Alliance has published the "Teacher Placement Initiatives – Collection of Best Practices" booklet, containing a selection of 15 initiatives collected from 10 countries around the world, providing inspiring examples of STEM teacher placements in industry.
One of the main aims of this "Teacher Placement Initiatives – Collection of Best Practices" is to help overcome the lack of awareness of career development opportunities for teachers, taking into consideration the urgent need to bridge employment gaps by sustaining cooperation between school and industries.
The publication contains precious insights for industry on how to attract new generations of students into STEM careers while understanding the workforce available, allowing a tailored targeting of specific candidates.
Teacher placements are one of the best means to ease the integration of company-sponsored programmes in school curricula, helping policy makers meet the challenge of a lack of resources in schools and expand their knowledge about STEM subjects.

I got this in a newsletter from TechRepublic and no, this isn't a way to pirate windows...it's a painless method to activate XP if you have to REINSTALL.
Just thought there might be a few admins around who might find it handy....WORK AROUND WINDOWS PRODUCT ACTIVATION
Have you ever wanted to reinstall Windows XP on a particular computer but chose not to because you weren't sure what you'd encounter when it came to Windows Product Activation (WPA)?
Well, there's no need to be concerned because information about the current activation is stored in an encrypted database file named Wpa.dbl, which you can back up and then restore once you've reinstalled XP. Keep in mind that this technique allows you only to reinstall XP on the same computer--it isn't a hack to pirate the OS.
Here's how to back up the Wpa.dbl file:
1. Insert a blank, formatted disk into the floppy disk drive.
2. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
3. Right-click the Wpa.dbl file and select Send To | 3-1/2 Floppy.
You can then reformat the hard disk and reinstall XP. Once the installation procedure is complete, follow these steps to restore the Wpa.dbl
1. Restart the computer.
2. Press [F8] when you see the message Please Select The Operating System To Start.
3. From the Windows Advanced Options Menu, select Safe Mode.
4. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
5. Rename the new Wpa.dbl to Wpa.new.
6. Insert the disk that contains the backup into the floppy disk drive.
7. Copy the Wpa.dbl file from the floppy disk to the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
8. Restart the computer.
Since you're using the exact copy of XP that was previously installed, the original Wpa.dbl file will be accepted, and you won't have to go through all the hassle of reactivation.

The Hills star, Stephanie Pratt, talks to Us Weekly magazine this week about hating her body and her terrifying secret struggle with bulimia.
Stephanie opens up about her eating disorder for the first time, saying it was sparked by the pressure of appearing alongside her super-thin friends on the hit MTV reality show. I'm guessing the "super thin" friends would have to include Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge, Heidi Pratt, and pretty much every female that ever appeared on The Hills.
Stephanie, who is described as being 5-foot-7 also reveals to US that she began bingeing and purging after watching a scene she shot with Lauren Conrad in 2007 after first joining the cast: "I was horrified. I remember saying, 'I can't believe how huge I look walking over to Lauren.'"
The cover story also teases about how Stephanie once attempted suicide. Hmm, will be reserving my personal comments on this one.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Tuareg separatists who drove the Malian military out of Kidal 16 months ago protested Saturday against the army's return to the northern town, gathering outside the camp where soldiers are staying.
The demonstration came hours after a U.N. peacekeeper was lightly wounded in an attack on a checkpoint at 2 a.m., said Olivier Salgado, spokesman for MINUSMA, the new U.N. peacekeeping force in Mali that began earlier this month.
The West African country's army is overwhelmingly made-up of soldiers from southern Malian ethnicities, and they are accused of carrying out reprisal killings against Arab and Tuareg civilians in the other northern towns they retook earlier this year.
"We are demanding that the Malian military leave the city. We don't want them here," said Mohamed Cisse, a young resident of Kidal who was in front of the military camp in Kidal on Saturday.
The military's presence in Kidal removes one of the major obstacles to the presidential election, scheduled to take place in just three weeks. Many had wondered how the country could hold a national election with an important provincial capital in the hands of rebels.
In preparation for the campaigning, Mali's government on Saturday also lifted the state of emergency that had been put into place back in January after al-Qaida-linked militants began attacking towns further south in the country.
Many though, fear that the Tuareg separatists will not accept the army's presence, a concern underscored by Saturday's demonstration.
"The young people are going out in the town and urging people to protest against the arrival of the army," resident Aicha Maiga told The Associated Press. "The market is closed today and people who don't want to demonstrate are staying at home."
Kidal, like the rest of northern Mali, fell to a mixture of rebel groups in March 2012. It had remained in rebel hands over the past six months, even after French forces launched a military intervention to free northern Mali from the fighters, succeeding in liberating all of the other major towns.
Tuareg rebels re-entered Kidal in February and March of this year, erecting roadblocks, levying taxes and creating a de facto Tuareg state.
After intense international wrangling, the Tuareg groups controlling Kidal signed an agreement last month, which paved the way for the return of Mali's military on Friday. However, some Tuaregs remain committed to seeking an independent state and disagreed with the accord that allowed the soldiers to come back.
Associated Press writer Rukmini Callimachi in Dakar, Senegal contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON -- Congressional Republicans' long-simmering dismay about Barack Obama's offenses against the separation of powers became acute when events compelled him to agree with them that the Affordable Care Act could not be implemented as written. But even before he decreed alterations of key ACA provisions -- delaying enforcement of certain requirements for health insurance and enforcement of employers' coverage obligations -- he had effectively altered congressionally mandated policy by altering work requirements of the 1996 welfare reform; and compliance requirements of the No Child Left Behind education law; and some enforcement concerning marijuana possession; and the prosecution of drug crimes entailing mandatory minimum sentences; and the enforcement of immigration laws pertaining to some young people.
Republicans tend to regard Obama's aggressive assertion of enforcement discretion as idiosyncratic -- an anti-constitutional impatience arising from his vanity. This interpretation is encouraged by his many assertions that he "can't wait" for our system of separated powers to ratify his policy preferences. Still, to understand not only the extravagance of Obama's exercises of executive discretion, but also how such discretion necessarily grows as government does, read Zachary S. Price's "Enforcement Discretion and Executive Duty" forthcoming in the Vanderbilt Law Review. Price, a visiting professor at the University of California's Hastings College of the Law, demonstrates that the Constitution's "text, history and normative underpinnings" do not justify the permissive reading Obama gives to the Take Care Clause, which says the president "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed."
It is, says Price, part of America's "deeply rooted constitutional tradition" that "presidents, unlike English kings, lack authority to suspend statutes" or make them inapplicable to certain individuals or groups. Indeed, the Take Care Clause may have been intended to codify the Framers' repudiation of royal suspending prerogatives. Hence the absence of an anti-suspension provision in the Bill of Rights.
Congress' excessive expansion of the number of federal crimes, however, has required husbanding of scarce prosecutorial and judicial resources, which has made enforcement discretion central to the operation of today's federal criminal justice system. But Obama's uses of executive discretion pertain to the growth of the administrative state.
The danger, Price says, is that the inevitable non-enforcement of many federal criminal laws will establish "a new constitutional norm of unbounded executive discretion" beyond the criminal justice system. Price says the enforcement discretion exercised in the context of the resource-constrained criminal justice system provides "no support for presidential authority to decline enforcement with respect to any other given civil regulatory regime, such as the Affordable Care Act."
The difference is between priority-setting and policy-setting, the latter being a congressional prerogative because of Congress' primacy in lawmaking. Absent "a clear statutory basis, an executive waiver of statutory requirements" is "presumptively impermissible."
It has, however, become "a nearly irresistible temptation" for presidents to infer permission from the courts' abandonment of judicial review that limits Congress' power to delegate essentially legislative powers to the executive branch. So, Price asks: "If President Obama may postpone enforcement of the ACA's insurance requirements and employer mandate, could a subsequent president ignore the Affordable Care Act altogether?"
In 1998, the Supreme Court held that "there is no provision in the Constitution that authorizes the president to enact, to amend, or to repeal statutes." But by claiming a power to revise laws through suspension of portions of them, Obama is exercising what Price calls a "second veto." Actually, he is wielding what the Constitution forbids and no statute can grant -- a line-item veto, which violates the Presentment Clause. The Constitution says "every bill" passed by Congress shall be "presented" to the president, who shall sign "it" or return "it" with his objections. The antecedent of the pronoun is the bill -- all of it, not bits of it.
The sprawl of the modern administrative state requires vast delegations of powers, often indistinguishable from legislative powers, to an executive branch whose scale defies even adequate congressional oversight. Fortunately, in the Newtonian physics of our constitutional system, wherein rivalries among the three branches are supposed to trend toward equilibrium, actions often produce equal and opposite reactions. Obama's aggressive assertions of executive discretion are provoking countervailing attention to constitutional proprieties. His departures from the norms proper to the Take Care Clause may yet cause Congress to take better care of its prerogatives.

Options - Short Put
|This article is part of WikiProject Definitions. Consider editing to improve it. View articles referencing this definition.
A Bullish options strategy that involves selling short or "writing" a put option. When the stock rises above the strike price of the short put by expiration, the put options expire worthless and entire premium from its sale is earned.
The seller of the short put (gets the premium) is betting the stock price will be above the strike price on expiration so he can keep the premium.
The buyer of the short put (pays the premium) bets the stock price will be below the strike price on expiration so he can sell the shares at the strike price, i.e., above the (then) market price.

According to LaBrosse, there is an answer: "Learn how brand leaders create a team of superstars who pursue new opportunities at Cheetah speed and significantly increase their profitability. They create bottom-line improvements from the bottom up."
Carson City, NV (PRWEB) November 14, 2012
According to a Gallup Survey, only about a quarter of America's workforce operates within its area of strength. That's bad news for the bottom line. A new video from the Project Management Professionals (PMPs) at Cheetah Learning addresses that issue—and a 10 percent discount for the "Cheetah Effective Series" offers solutions.
Michelle LaBrosse, Cheetah Learning's founder and CEO, is featured in the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo9mHLUAMjA. The Chief Cheetah addresses an issue that haunts American businesses: The underutilization of talent and dissipation of energy in the workplace.
A Gallup survey found that significant numbers of workers are not reaching full potential; in fact, some actually undermine the positive impact of productive workers.
Gallup identified three categories of employees: 1) Those who are engaged and "work with passion and feel a profound connection to their company," 2) those who are not engaged and could be described as "checked out" or "sleepwalking through their workday," and 3) the "actively disengaged," who aren't just unhappy, but "undermine what their engaged coworkers accomplish."
The daunting question facing businesses: How to get more employees engaged?
According to LaBrosse, there is an answer: "Learn how brand leaders create a team of superstars who pursue new opportunities at Cheetah speed and significantly increase their profitability. They create bottom-line improvements from the bottom up."
LaBrosse says there are three fundamental skills needed to be fast, effective and adaptable. They are: 1) Finish What You Start, 2) Create Better Opportunities with Others, 3) Maintain a Level of Peak Performance.
"The Cheetah Effective Series" cultivates each of these skills:
Finish What You Start – "Effective Project Management" (Cheetah's 20 PDU course, 601) teaches a participant how to finish projects.
Create Better Opportunities with Others – "Effective Negotiations" (Cheetah's 20 PDU course, 602) teaches how to collaborate with co-workers based on an individual's unique strengths.
Maintain a Level of Peak Performance – "Peak Performing Mind" (Cheetah's 10 PDU 603) teaches how to create an effective influence strategy to adopt practices that help keep individuals in peak performing condition.
Details about "Cheetah Effective Series" http://www.CheetahLearning.com/effectivecheetah/edu.htm. To get a 10 percent discount, use Promotion Code BEAR when registering. Group pricing available.
When it comes to training, Cheetah Learning is a recognized leader, having been awarded the Project Management Institute (PMI) Professional Development Provider of the Year for 2008 for the significant contributions it has made to the field of project management. In addition, PMI selected Cheetah CEO and founder, Michelle LaBrosse, as one of the 25 Most Influential Women in Project Management in the World.
With a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, LaBrosse has done extensive postgraduate work with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Advanced Educational Studies and the University of Washington Industrial Engineering Program in accelerating adult learning, with respect to meeting core business objectives. She is also a graduate of the Harvard Business School's Owner/President Management (OPM) program.
A prolific writer, LaBrosse has produced numerous articles on a wide variety of topics as well as a number of books, including "Cheetah Project Management," "Cheetah Know How," and "Cheetah Negotiations," all of which are available at http://www.CheetahStore.com.

Champion Handicapper goes to …
Now that the Eclipse Awards are in the rear-view mirror, what better time to talk about the Eclipse Awards than now?
Naturally, in three weeks or so I'll be sure to start talking about the Super Bowl and my two theories for the power outage. 1. Producers of Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl IX pulled the plug in the Big Easy (the timing was too perfect. The lights go out and, what's this, the Puppy Bowl starts? Follow the money …
2. The more plausible of the two solutions is this: it was Bane. We'll the proper authorities figure it out.
Since we are a site that pays a certain degree of homage to the great and powerful horse player, I figured this idea would stoke your fires: Champion Handicapper. What is this sport without the horse player? And why not honor him?
The branches, just to get a bit didactic here, are horses, horsemen, journalists, and the horse player. This is a fair order of descending importance (and by that I mean perceived importance. We all know how important the horse player is. Actually, in the grand scheme, I'd put the horse player above the journalist.). Though the weight of the sport comes out of the pockets of the lowly horse player, gets its increasingly sparse coverage from its writers, so that what? The top tier may reap the rewards? Let's take back the night.
The League of Handicappers, a nice comic-booky name. Register for the League. That's all it takes to be a pro. Just sign up. But you're in the pool with the big boys, the heavy hitters, and the small-fry blogger.
Through the League, every wager is recorded, every type of wager, at every track. Rules, you have to play at least five different tracks in a given year. Maybe John Pricci picked the most pure winners of the year, but Top Turf Teddy hit two Pick 6s and a Pick 4 on Derby Day.
It doesn't matter how much money you actually win, that's not a product of skill (though it can be). I wouldn't much care of the guy who goes ALL-ALL-ALL. In fact, the League keeps track of how many times you're inclined to use the ALL button. Sometimes it's necessary, but this will keep any billionaire playboys from "buying the title". Eligibility for the League, and thus to be considered for the Eclipse, needs to go to most skilled player. Already, the parallels can be drawn to the other disciplines.
Who wins the Champion Trainer? Going back 18 years, six trainers have one the award. Six. (Todd Pletcher 5, Bobby Frankel 4, Bill Mott 3, Bob Baffert 3, Steve Asmussen 2, Dale Romans 1). All these trainers have the power of numbers on their side. It helps to hit bullseyes when you have 100 darts to throw at the board when some of your competition might only have 10 darts with mangled flights and chipped points.
Just as the greater number of horses a trainer has increases his or her chances, so too does an increased bankroll. These things can be overcome. Horseman still need to be skilled. So too does the horse player. While exact monies wagered will be kept hidden and only known by the head of the mainframe, all that matters is picking winners and cashing exotics from tracks all over the country to prove you're not just a one-track wonder.
I'd say that some of the days would have to include the marquee ones on the schedule, but that would take care of itself. Those are the days where you're likely to catch an 18-1 horse or a favorite at 3-1.
Over the course of a calendar year, the numbers won't lie and it will be put to a vote. And the winner is …
If you or a loved one—or an enemy you're looking to lure into your confidence—would like a hardcover, first edition book, I'm giving away (while supplies last, limit one per person) copies of Six Weeks in Saratoga: How Three-Year-Old Filly Rachel Alexandra Beat the Boys and Became Horse of the Year. If interested, email me at and let me know how you would like it inscribed. The only catch is I ask you to review it on Amazon. That's it! What a world!

Several ladies, nearly all retired, sat in the non-fiction section of the Glenwood Public library recently for their monthly meeting. Minutes from the last meeting were read, a treasurer's report was read and a presentation was given. From the outside, it seemed like the monthly meeting of any social club in any small town across America. Listening in, however, one notices their treasurer's report does not include funds coming from a bake sale.
MALVERN - The overhaul of the former Fairview Country Club is almost complete.
In just over a month, Mills County golfers will get their first opportunity to play a round of their favorite sport on Malvern's new Fairview Hills golf course. The course is projected to open June 1.
Malvern banker and golfer Jay Burdic said the nine-hole, par 35 Fairview Hills is more than a renovation of the community's 83-year-old course, located south of the Mills County Fairgrounds. It's a whole new golfing experience.
Plastic bottles blow and tumble in the April winds. Tin cans spill out of the mouth of a 20-foot steel box. Soggy cardboard sprouts from puddles. Scraps of paper, smudged remnants of junk mail and newspapers, litters the gravel lot. The smell, slightly less than that of garbage, festers in the air.
No, it's not a landfill.
It's the Glenwood Recycling Center.

9,146 gun homicides in US. 16,885 killed by drunk drivers.

RE: 9,146 gun homicides in US. 16,885 killed by drunk drivers.
Having practical knowledge of things like firearms manipulation, terminal ballistics and body alarm responses, as well as knowing rough statistics on the exact parameters of how people actually die in shootings is pretty fucking important when you think about the average citizen and what they should WANT in a defensive firearm. How can anyone tell the shop owner in a LA riot/Katrina situation that they DONT "need" a firearm with a magazine capacity of 10-30 rounds? I can reload a pistol from slide lock at a average of 1.20-1.70s and a AR style rifle around 2.9-3.5s(thank you shot timer ). I however, have been shooting since I was 5, shot smallbore in high school, was a marksmanship instructor in the Marines, shot USPSA casually for the last 2 and seriously for since June, and will prob be a instructor for which ever department Im at when I get out of training. I dryfire practice 5x a week now for 30-60mins a day bc I'm trying to be competitive on a regional/nation level. The average person dosent do this, and a reload is literally a handfull that takes a lot more time to do, and thats not even adding stress in.
Why is a collapsable stock soo evil? We are all different sizes,a telescoping stock makes sense.
What about flash hiders on AR's? Ever fired a short barreled pistol at night??? The muzzle flash will FUCK your natural night vision, not what you want at 3am with someone inside your house.
So where are the gun grabber's firearms experts? I've never heard of one. Like a fucking unicorn. Where's their veteran snipers and trainers from LEOs and the Military who think guns should be banned? I've never met one. You'll get plenty of gun grabbers from big city police chiefs who dont know shit about guns bc they've been riding a desk their whole career and are really just politicians in a Class A uniform. They know better then to cross the mayor anyway.

RE: 9,146 gun homicides in US. 16,885 killed by drunk drivers.
BlackKnight sent me that video in a pm, so I'll just post the basics of my reply to him.
First off, he starts off with points I can agree with. That there are other factors that must be considered, but a lot of what he says after that has some flaws that should be addressed.
Comparing 2 years, rather than trends. He compares 1992 and present. Only comparing 2 years worth of data is misleading because crime rates can spike and drop on a year to year basis. What matters is the overall trend over the course of several years. There is a reason no one just looks at 2 years worth of data when making comparisons between other countries and between states.
Metropolitan areas are high concentration areas of people where crime rates should be expected to be higher.
This is for 2 reasons
-Increased frequency of people means more opportunity. There are more people alive today with Parkinson's than in 1900 because there are more people alive. Basically what I am saying is that when there is more opportunity, there are more occurences of some rare thing. If you only go out into the forest for an hour looking for a rare species, you may never see it. But if you set up a camera and leave it out for a year, your chances increase exponentially.
-Poverty level. Low-income areas are also larger in Metropolitan areas.
-Disparity between incomes. In rural areas, there are fewer high-income families and fewer low-income families. It is more of a middleground and is also connected to
-Overall wealth of the area and price of basic commodities. Basically, your money goes farther in rural areas than in metropolitan areas. $20,000 in New York City is really low income and not feasible to live off of because of the price of commodities like gas, milk, bread, transportation, etc. But in rural areas (like where I grew up in TN), the price of these commodities is lower. Getting a cheap car is pretty easy. Wal-Marts are frequent. And living off of $20,000 is much more reasonable (rent is ridiculously low in areas like that whereas you may not be able to find an apartment in New York for $20,000 a year)
The "true trouble spots" when looking at a neighborhood by neighborhood basis is also not surprising. Bet it is highest in low income areas. And there are more of those in metropolitan areas. These are ignored by everyone because there is no quick fix for them. It can only come from improvement of those areas from within. Basically what I am saying is they need better access to better education.
"Who is working on improving that." That is why people want universal healthcare. Reducing the cost of basic commodities is highly valuable to these communities and improving the quality of the education can have a big impact too.
How do you improve the lives of the lowest income portion of the population? Man that's a tough question. I have already said education twice, but what else could you do? I don't know the answer to that.
Can you even do it in the short-term? Quick-fixes rarely work for any extended period of time, and we need long-term fixes.
Education is key. Improve education overall and you improve the ability for these people to get jobs that are not blue-collar. The white-collar jobs are more stable, pay better, and have better benefits.
I don't know of anyone that has said the US has a lower crime rate than England. He is cherry-picking what he is saying here and building a bit of a straw-man.
The murder rate is still lower in the UK. He seems to want to dismiss this. Isn't that what he is criticizing everyone else of? He is not giving a suggestion as to why their murder rate is lower, but I have a guess I will get to in a second.
Gun crime is lower. I think this is what most people are saying instead of just crime overall.
Yes, the UK has more violent crime, but that may be due to something I have already mentioned, and that is:
The UK has fewer metropolitan areas, but it also has a lower population and...
Percent of Americans living in Urban and suburban areas = 82%
Percent of UK residents living in urban and suburban areas = 90%
Crime occurs in metropolitan areas at a higher perceived rate than rural areas (something he said too) and more UK citizens live in metropolitan areas, so it would be expected for crime rates to be higher, irregardless of gun laws. But murder rate is lower even though that too should be higher in metropolitan areas. So, the UK seems to have that figured out. Basically, less access to instruments of death means lower murder rates. So the total number of metropolitan areas is not what is important, he is cherry picking again.
Crime rates in European nations have dropped too over a similar time frame. That means that the global economy is likely a major contributor, so nothing happening in the US is unique as far as dropping crime rates.
Another part of the puzzle that needs to be addressed is the frequency of mass shootings. The US is a statistical anomaly there too with a rate higher than other European nations.
Yes, the politicians have an agenda. So do the politicians on the pro-gun side. The point is that it is important to look through that agenda. I don't have cable. I don't watch the pundits. I would have been right there on your side pretty much right up to the Newtown incident. Having a kid and being an hour away from something like that will fuck you up man.
When has the media been honest about anything anyways? They over simplify on pretty much every issue because the people watching are not smart enough to understand all of the metrics.
He cherry picks data at the very end of his own video, committing something he is accusing everyone else of. He uses 2011 only, not the 2000's or some longer period of time. Using one years worth of data is misleading. He also only uses rifles in homicides. The point is not just that rifles are a problem.
Solving violent crime? Who is under the delusion that they can solve violent crime? Better education can help, but it won't eliminate it.
I don't know of anyone who is saying that better gun laws will cause violent crime rates to drop, but if murder rates drop and mass shootings drop, that will be a huge step forward.
Basically, he makes all the same mistakes he is accusing everyone else of. None of his arguments actually support less or no gun restriction. The US does not have a crime rate or murder rate that implies more guns equals less crime. So, what exactly is he trying to say? It can't hurt to have this many guns and this few laws? The mass shooting statistics and murder rate say otherwise.

Its not a matter of distrusting someone just because they use statistics but checking what they are saying. He says metropolitan areas are an issue and lists the total number between the UK and the US. Logic would dictate that the US is larger and more spread out, so it would not be total number but percent living in them that would be interesting. That's the reason I gave the info along with my objections to his misinformation. You are generalizing that anyone using statistics is trying to mislead you. The reality is that you gave to know enough to know what to look for. That only comes from practice by doing.

Glad we make them get insurance in order to practice medicine. Also glad that while these mistake happen, doctors can be shown to have a direct benefit on the good health of people.
As for not having seen a complete objective study on firearms. The statistics show the trends. What information about firearms do you want?

Update, 7:15 p.m.
The $2.5 billion 2012-13 Philadelphia School District budget passed unanimously, with SRC members making it clear that they were voting only on the spending plan, but not on any transformation plan. "Shame on you!" shouts went up as commissioners voted.
Update, 6 p.m.
In the wildest SRC meeting in recent memory, an angry audience has halted the proceedings several times with chants, sign-waving and whistles.
Members of the public have been intermittently interrupting the meeting for a half hour and counting.
"We've listened to your feedback," Chief Academic Officer Penny Nixon said. The audience booed. Nixon has said she wants to build a firewall around school budgets.
SRC Chairman Pedro Ramos, responding to public outrage over a proposed complete overhaul of the district, said that "we are not about privatizing public education."
"Bullshit," the audience shouted.
Update, 5:45 p.m.
Over the objection of hundreds, the School Reform Commission is poised to adopt a $2.5 billion 2012-13 billion budget at a dramatic Thursday night meeting interrupted several times by an angry public.
No one - activists or officials - likes the spending plan, which leaves many schools without full-time nurses or police officers and banks on new city money that may not come through.
But "in this circumstance, we have little choice," Chief Recovery Officer Thomas Knudsen said in a press briefing held before Thursday night's SRC meeting. "We are effectively maxing out our credit card."
The district will borrow $218 million to meet expenses, but says it will be able to restore finances to structural balance - not spending more money than they take in - by 2013-14.
And if the $94 million expected from the mayor's Actual Value Initiative tax plan doesn't come through? Borrowing appears to be out.
Knudsen, who was brought in by the SRC in January to help manage the district out of crisis, said the district can borrow the $218 million.
"We don't have the capacity to go much beyond that, I don't believe," said Knudsen.
School budgets have already been decimated by two rounds of cuts this year, and officials are trying to avoid further reductions.
Hundreds rallied before the meeting began, shouting their objections to a budget they say shortchanges kids. The crowd - many of whom packed the SRC auditorium - briefly halted the meeting with cries of "Save Our Schools!"
But Knudsen said this budget stretches the district to the limits of its financial capabilities.
"This is why we're incuring a $218 million deficit," he said. "We're borrowing essentially to maintain the academic programs in the schools. I don't know what else to do. I don't know where else we go. We are at the best level of service that we can provide within the context of the funds that we have available."
A coalition organized to oppose the budget and a planned transformation of the school district - and some city councilpeople - wonder why the district is asking the city but not the state for more money.
Chairman Pedro Ramos said this SRC refuses to repeat the mistakes of its predecessors - budgeting based on hopes rather than reality.
"This year's students were subjected to at least three rounds of budget cuts because the adults last year did what they what they wished for and what they wanted to hear, as opposed to planning responsibly to meet the needs of children the best that they could," said Ramos.
Though the fiscal reality is ugly, principals and teachers, Ramos believes, would say, "just give me the real number, instead of giving me a fake number and then having to come back and cut two or three times."
It was the actions of the prior SRC and administrations that put the district in the shape it's in now - teetering on the brink of insolvency, Ramos said.
How bad are things? A few months ago, the newly-reconstituted SRC found the district in such dire financial shape that without corrective action, the district would have run out of cash this month, then again in July, "and would have gone so far under on cash that it couldn't come back," he said.
But cost-cutting actions taken by the SRC since January staved off the wolf at the door - for now.
The district is planning on $50 million in savings from modernizing its maintenance, transportation and custodial services, and it has sent layoff notices to all 2,700 members of 32BJ, the union representing bus aides, cleaners, building engineers and other blue collar workers.
Workers fear their jobs will be privatized to cut costs. 32BJ and the district are currently in negotiations, and union leaders say they have proposed cost savings.
City Council on Thursday passed a resolution saying they will hold up the SRC's budget until an agreement is reached with 32BJ. The first round of layoffs are scheduled to take effect July 1.
Ramos said that resolution does not affect the budget.
"We understand that there's a lot of sympathy in Philadelphia for unions," Ramos said. "But we are in a situation where we have to put the interests of our students - today's students and tomorrow's students - ahead of adults."
Negotiations with 32BJ continue, Knudsen said.
District leaders have also said they expect the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers to come to the table soon, though its contract does not expire until August 2013. The district is banking on $156 million in savings from labor contracts in its five-year plan.
PFT leaders have said they will not negotiate early or make any financial concessions.
"You can't say that you're just about education and you're just about the kids when adults all refuse to do more or give something up," Ramos said. "We all share the circumstances in which we find ourselves today and in the next few years."
Ramos also questioned the motivation of the activists who protested at the meetings.
"I think parents are often drowned out by existing adult economic interests," he said. He said that the coalition organized to oppose the budget was being funded by unions, specifically by the PFT.

LONDON (AP) — A former boyfriend of British socialite Tamara Ecclestone has been sentenced to four years in prison for plotting to blackmail her for 200,000 pounds ($303,000).
Derek Rose was convicted of the extortion attempt against Ecclestone, daughter of Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone.
Rose dated Ecclestone, now 28, in 2002. Prosecutors said that after Ecclestone appeared on a reality TV show called "Billion Dollar Girl" in 2011, he sent an email threatening to reveal personal details to a tabloid newspaper unless she paid. In fact, no newspaper had bought his story.
Passing sentence Tuesday, Judge Andrew Goymer told Rose he was guilty of a "cynical and greedy" crime.
Bernie Ecclestone is one of Britain's wealthiest men, with a fortune estimated at 2.5 billion pounds ($3.7 billion) by the Sunday Times Rich List.

A Chicago Police officer was released from the hospital just hours after he was shot in the head on the city's Far South Side.
The 34-year-old officer was shot in the area of 92nd Street and Manistee Avenue about 8:45 p.m. Sunday night as several officers executed a search warrant at a home.

Superintendent Garry McCarthy was at Northwestern with the officer overnight. He said he was "very lucky".
Six people inside the home were taken into custody for questioning. The gun used in the shooting was reportedly recovered by police.

'CSI: Ellis' program teaches forensic sciences to studentsBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
April 12. 2013 12:49AM
FREMONT - Jonah George watches TV crime shows like "CSI" and "Criminal Minds," but over the past several weeks he's learned that Hollywood makes criminal investigations look far too easy.
"In the movies it's done so quickly, but it actually takes a lot of time to get everything done," he said.
Jonah, 14, is among a group of seventh-graders at Ellis School who have spent two months participating in a project organized by the school's unified arts team called CSI: Ellis.
Seven members of the State Police Major Crime Unit and Sgt. Scott Gilbert of the Cold Case Unit spent the day at the school Thursday teaching students how to use a light to detect footprints and then lift them off the floor; take impressions of tire tracks; use lights to locate bodily fluids; and take fingerprints on broken glass to find a "burglar" who broke into the school.
The unique project incorporated math, reading, and science.
"We thought this would be a great topic because we could incorporate all the pieces plus really do a push on science because that's really what we're working on curriculum-wise,"?said Diane Jackson, the school's physical education teacher who was instrumental in organizing the project and lining up State Police to make the lesson more realistic. "This way unified arts can support the science curriculum with a lot of hands-on stuff."
In the computer lab, the students have learned about forensic science. They have solved crimes using chemistry and have put their math skills to work to determine the rate of speed and other factors while reconstructing a fatal car accident online.
Students have also learned about fingerprinting, taking a polygraph, and solving cold cases with occasional visits from State Police investigators in recent weeks.
Jackson, whose husband recently retired from the State Police, said the project, which wraps up next week, was a good way to expose students to careers in crime scene investigation.
"You can go from being a lab technician and go all the way up to a chemist with a Ph.D," she said.
Gilbert said he was surprised to see the level of interest among the students.
"We're trying to give them some career possibilities to think about. They see a lot of it on TV, on 'CSI' and things like that, and now they can see how it's similar in some regards and much different," he said.
Detective Sgt. John Sonia of the Major Crime Unit said he's seen more high schools offering forensic science courses, but not at the middle school level.
The Ellis School project is unique, he said, because it's reaching younger students.
Brendan Howard, 13, said he liked reconstructing the car crash.
Reese Bassett, 13, enjoyed the accident reconstruction as well, but also liked learning about fingerprinting and DNA analysis.
"They made it really easy for everyone to understand," said Reese, who is the son of retired Fremont Deputy Police Chief Reese Bassett.
Abe Martin, 12, said he never thought about a career in law enforcement before.
"Now that we've done the unit I kind of like it," he said.

After tonight, we only have one night left of blind auditions left on NBC's "The Voice."
Can you believe it?! Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton have precious few spots left on their teams, and there's still so much talent to go around.
Sylvia Yacoub, 19, of Michigan/Egypt, with Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)"
Sylvia basically attacked this song, and handled it with power and mastery. She caught Christina's attention pretty quickly, and Cee Lo and Blake pushed their buttons soon after. "That's a country enough name," Blake said, and noted the slight twang in her delivery,...

We didn't expect glasses-free 3D phones to arrive in the United States till next summer, but we could seen them sooner thanks to Japanese manufacturer Sharp. No specific models were mentioned but Sharp has a pair of 3D phones going on sale this year in Japan and they announced they will expand to the United States, China, and India in 2011.
In addition to the 3D display, Sharp's new phones can also capture pictures in 3D. We have also learned that Capcom, Konami, and Namco are working on 3D games for these new devices.
One of Sharp's 3D models, the 003SH, was recently spotted on the FCC's site, but there is no telling which carrier might launch the device. Which U.S. carrier would you like to see launch a 3D phone?

Thinking Fans on the passing of beloved soap characters: BL says, "Feelings are feelings, and if someone did something magnificent in their career or touched you emotionally, it should be honored" … while renee says, "I know they're not physically real, but if we're blessed they're emotionally real" … and more. See Comments below.
By Damon L. Jacobs
This is not an easy time to be a soap fan. Already we are coping with declining ratings, pre-emptions, time changes, and signs of behind-the-scenes instability. But this week the Thinking Fans are coping with not one, not two, but three significant creative and artistic losses. What's worse, the NAW's (Non-Addicted-Watchers) in our lives usually have a limited ability to relate to our pain and sorrow.
Unlike stars of prime time TV shows or movies, soap actors/writers form unique relationships with us viewers. They are in our homes several times a week, sometimes for decades at a time. We often go through school and college
Respect your relationship with the person who has died … Appreciate the values they brought into your life.

Honolulu, HI (SportsNetwork.com) - Brian Stuard carded his second straight 5- under 65 on Friday and moved one stroke clear of the field after two rounds of the Sony Open in Hawaii.
Stuard finished 36 holes at 10-under-par 130. This is the first time he has led after any round on the PGA Tour.
"I think it's something to do with the greens. I feel comfortable on the greens," said Stuard, who has seven straight rounds in the 60s at Waialae. "I feel like I read them pretty well and feel like I'm able to make some putts."
Marc Leishman fired a 6-under 64 and moved into a share of second place at minus-9. He was joined there by Hideto Tanihara, who posted a 65 in round two. Harris English, a two-time winner last year, carded his second 66 in as many days and is alone in fourth at 8-under-par 132.
Masters champion Adam Scott carded a 4-under 66 and climbed into a tie for fifth at minus-7. Scott was joined in fifth place by Chris Stroud (65), Chris Kirk (69), Jimmy Walker (67), Sang-Moon Bae (70) and Jason Kokrak (67).
Stuard started his round with five straight pars from the 10th. He got on the board with a 14-foot birdie putt on No. 15. At the 17th, Stuard gave that shot back.
His tee ball came up short of the green and he chipped to eight feet. Stuard 2-putted for bogey to slip back to minus-5. He bounced back with a 15-foot birdie effort on the 18th.
Around the turn, Stuard started the front side with four pars in a row. He drained a 9-foot birdie effort at the fifth and made it two straight birdies as his 12-footer for birdie on No. 6 found the bottom of the cup.
Stuard parred his next two holes to head to the ninth, his last, at minus-8. His second shot to the par-5 stopped within three feet of the hole and he kicked in his short eagle putt to grab the second-round lead.
"I played pretty well. Didn't start off very good, but I played pretty good on my last nine, the front nine," Stuard admitted. "I enjoy the layout. It's nice to have to hit some shots off the tee, and I enjoy doing that. And like I said, something about the greens that I feel good about."
Leishman parred his first four holes before sinking a 10-foot birdie try on No. 5. He gave that stroke right back as he 3-putted for bogey on the sixth.
The Australian birdied the seventh from 13 feet out, then converted an eagle effort on the ninth from a similar length to make the turn at minus-6.
Leishman converted back-to-back birdie efforts at 10 and 11. He moved to minus-9 with a 23-foot birdie putt at the 14th. Leishman parred the final four holes to end one back.
"It was a good day. I played reasonably well, probably didn't hit as many fairways as I would have liked to, but as long as you're missing it in the right spot around here, it's playable," said Leishman, the 2012 Travelers Championship winner. "I had the putter working really well. Just had the one three-putt on No. 6, so that was probably the only blemish on the card for the day, and managed to hole a few good birdie putts."
Tanihara traded a birdie for a bogey from the first. After four pars in a row, he made back-to-back birdie effort from 31 and 24 feet out respectively. He made it three in a row with a 2-putt birdie on No. 9.
On the back nine, Tanihara birdied the 14th from nine feet out and he closed with another 9-footer for birdie at the last.
James Hahn holed his second shot at the par-5 ninth for a rare double-eagle. It was the second of his career as he also had one on the Web.com Tour. He shot 68 and is tied for 15th at 5-under-par 135.
NOTES: Stuard is a two-time runner up at Mayakoba ... Tim Clark, last year's runner-up, withdrew during the second round due to an elbow injury ... Tee times for the third round were moved up to 12:50-3 p.m. (ET) in an effort to beat inclement weather later in the day ... The cut line fell at 1-under-par 139 with 79 players moving on to the weekend ... Among those that missed the cut were last week's runner-up Jordan Spieth, 2005 winner Vijay Singh, two- time runner-up Rory Sabbatini and Kenny Perry.

Suze is hosting our challenge challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and More and she has chosen the theme 'Wooden it be Loverly'. She would like to see something wood related in your project (the use of paper alone doesn't count - we all know that comes from trees!) So perhaps a wooden embellishment, or wood effect embossed pattern, images of trees, a wooden fence etc. If you fancy being more adventurous your project could be something actually made of wood, so a box, jewellery cabinet, etc. etc.
We are sponsored by
With 3 images of the winners choice
Here is my card
For my card I have used an old Karen's Doodles digi stamp coloured with my ProMarkers. It's quite hard to see in the pic but I have used some wood effect card and some papers from my scrap box. Also on the wooden theme is the wooden boat in my image. To embellish i have added some bakers twine, a fish charm and some green star buttons from my stash.
I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Current line as of 12:30 EST: Philadelphia -8 O/U 47.5
I don't know what to expect with the Bears O line, that's the key to the game. If the play calling keeps pressure off of Cutler, it will be a close game, if not, they are going to be shelled.
The Bears have played Philadelphia tough the last for years, going 3-1. The one loss was by 4. They know how to contain Vick, they've seen him before. But McCoy will chew up the Bears.
The Eagles lead the NFL in rushing; the Bears give up 5.2 yards per carry. The Eagles have speed at receiver; Bears safeties are young and inexperienced. It's on the road on "Monday Night Football" where the Bears are notoriously bad!
I bought a point and took the Eagles -7. I can see Philadelphia winning by anywhere between 7 to 17 points. I'll say 31-20 Eagles.
Good luck!
