Johnny Jolly, who was arrested in 2008 for possession of over 200 grams of codeine—and subsequently suspended for the entire 2010 NFL season—applied for reinstatement on February 11.
So, um, would it surprise you that the Jolly Green-and-Yellow
Giant Packer was stopped early Friday morning with 600 more grams of codeine and a suspended driver's license?
According to CBS Houston's intrepid reporters, Anna-Megan Raley and Gavin Spittle, police also discovered an unidentified substance, which they've sent for testing. Jolly's agent is praying it turns out to be anthrax, we assume.
Though we don't know what form Jolly's codeine took, his 2008 arrest involved codeine cough syrup, which is often mixed into a concoction called "purple drank," "lean," or "sizzurp." And often that concoction includes—you guessed it—Jolly Ranchers.
But Jolly, Packer may not be long for the NFL. Such, such were the Jollies.

By Sue Ann Rybak
Six-year-old Nathan and 3-year-old Bennett Falcone of Erdenheim lie on the carpet giggling and tickling each other's bellies. Bennett, who is wearing a Pac-Man T-shirt, plays with blocks on the coffee table.
After asking their mother, Phyllis, if they can have a Dum Dum lollipop from the nice lady with the tape recorder, they quickly rip off the paper and shove it into their mouth. Phyllis asks Nathan what flavor his lollipop is, to which he quickly responds "root beer." Nathan is shy and does not move from his mother's side as she puts together a wooden wagon for their toys. Bennett, however, does not hesitate to reward me with a big hug.
They are typical little boys who love to wrestle, ride bikes and watch "Team Umizoomi." Nathan's cheeks turn red as he confesses he loves Taylor Swift, playing his DS and eating mint chocolate chip ice cream.
"I am scared of snakes," Nathan whispered.
Bennett however likes snakes, watching the otters at the zoo and believe it or not – green beans.
And like every child, they love to dream about what they want to be when they grow up. Nathan dreams of being a teacher.
Sadly, Nathan and Bennett may not have a future unless a cure is found for progeria, which comes from the Greek word for "prematurely old." It is an extremely rare and fatal disease, which makes their body age eight to 10 times faster than normal children.
To make matters worse, Nathan and Bennett have an extremely rare and severe type of progeria called mandibuloacral dysplasia. In fact, Nathan and Bennett are the only two children in the United States with this rare form of progeria.
Because the disease is so rare, very little is known about the genetic condition. According to Audrey Gordon, executive director of the Progeria Research Foundation, the chances of having a child born with progeria are one in eight million.
"The Falcone boys have a form of progeria that is a bit different from the classic form because the gene mutation differs but is in the same family as the classic progeria mutation," Gordon said. "Also, the protein that is affected is again related to progerin but it is structurally a little different. Therefore, the boys have a disease that looks like progeria, with some differences. They have more hair, for example.
"We actually know less about what the disease course will be for Nathan and Bennett because we have identified fewer children with their form of progeria. We at the Progeria Research Foundation know of only two families with children who have the same form of progeria that Nathan and Bennett have.
"It's pretty much your worst nightmare," Phyllis said.
"As of today, 90 children globally have been found and diagnosed with a type of progeria," Gordon said.
Neither Phyllis nor Mark Falcone are carriers for the disease.
"It's extremely rare to have two children with progeria," Gordon said.
Both boys appeared to be happy, healthy babies at birth. Initially, Nathan was misdiagnosed with a rare connective tissue disorder. Doctors said Nathan's disorder was a rare occurrence.
"First, they thought he had progeria at 13 months," Phyllis said. "Then the blood work came back negative. Then, I got pregnant with Bennett and everything was kind of happening the same. That's when they went back to the drawing board and realized they had a much rarer form of progeria."
Some symptoms of progeria include a narrow, shrunken or wrinkled face, a large head for the size of the face (macrocephaly), baldness, dry, scaly, thin skin, limited mobility and a short stature.
Both boys have a significant lack of subcutaneous fat, Wormian bones in their skull, clubbed fingers, acroosteolysis (reabsorption of the finger tips) and thickening of the blood vessels.
"It's hard knowing its gonna get worse," Phyllis said. "We really don't know what their life span will be. The average age for kids with classic progeria is 13. But, we don't know. We are hoping it's longer. They don't seem to be aging as rapidly as kids with classic progeria."
The boys are currently in a clinical trial at Children's Hospital Boston, which is being conducted through the Progeria Foundation.
"The medical director of the Progeria Research Foundation has a son that has progeria," Phyllis said. "She started the foundation 10 years ago. They have gone from knowing nothing about progeria to discovering the gene for it. Now, they have medications that they think might show positive signs.
It affects every area of our lives. It's hard. We want them to be treated normal."
But, it's hard to treat them as "normal" when they have the body of a 70-year-old.
"They love to roughhouse, which is very scary because they don't know why they can't roughhouse," Phyllis said. "They can't go up and down the steps, which isn't normal for a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old."
The Falcones also have a 9-year-old daughter, Libby, who hopes someday to be a veterinarian.
"It's hard trying to make things fair and equal in the house," Phyllis said. "We try not to give her [Libby] too much responsibility and to be honest with her. We want Nathan to grow up to be strong and independent, but it's difficult. I worry about the future. Will Libby feel comfortable bringing friends over? Because they do look different."
Phyllis worries about the boys' relationships with other kids.
"If it was dealing with them looking different and being differently abled – that's one thing," Phyllis said. "But, knowing it's going to get worse."
They [the Progeria Research Foundation] have done a lot, but it's a race against time to find a cure for them."
The Progeria Foundation was founded by Dr. Leslie Gordon, whose son, Sam Berns, was diagnosed with progeria in 1998.
Audrey Gordon, who is Sam Berns' aunt, said that before Sam's second birthday, doctors informed his parents he had the fatal disease.
His doctors said, "There's no cure, there's nothing you can do, so, just go home and enjoy the time you have left with your child."
"We [Sam's family] were not willing to accept that answer," Gordon said.
Sam's parents soon discovered no research was being done on progeria.
"So shortly after, with the help of family, friends and colleagues, we founded the foundation," she said.
"We built the tools we needed. We soon realized we had to be a comprehensive resource for people in order to promote the research."
In the spring of 2003, they discovered the gene responsible for progeria – LMNA. Gordon said that the discovery of the gene "opened the door of science."
"Now, that we knew what caused it, we could figure out ways to correct the defect," Gordon said.
"Last year, a drug was identified that may also help reduce or eliminate the progerin, which is the enemy protein that causes progeria."
But it is a race against time – time that many children don't have.
Last year, the Falcones decided to act. In order to raise awareness about progeria and money for research they decided to publish a calendar entitled "When I grow up…" The calendar features drawings by children of what they want to be when they grow up.
But for the 2013 calendar to be a success, they need kids' drawings. Parents can drop their kids' drawings off at the Chestnut Hill Local, 8434 Germantown Ave., until May 18.
The Falcones also hold a fundraiser, "Make a Splash for Nathan and Bennett," at the Flourtown Country Club, 150 McCloskey Rd., on Sept. 8 from 1 to 5 p.m.
All proceeds from the sale of the $15 calendar and the fundraiser go directly to the Progeria Foundation to fund ongoing research. For more information, go to www.nathanandbennett.org.

... A Memory from the first lesson of Physics.
When the professor entered in the classroom for the first lesson of physics, during the years of the high school, everybody was trying to imagine what Physics was, if the lessons in the laboratory were so funny like in the movies and if a scientist was a genius with a very strange look. The day after, every imagination disappeared and we were in front of a cruel reality: Physics was a collection of formulas, rules and descriptions of experiments, everything was well packed in a book.
I never imagined that that first lesson is still alive in my memory and only after a lot of years I understood how important that lesson was: it was about the Measurements.

Mobilewraps necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 60 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
Have fun and let your imagination go! I'm after one (or some)designs to add to my eezypeezy premium sticker collection. All stickers will be outline cut and printed onto a sheet 1340mm by 500mm. Vector images required as I will be re-sizing to make a smaller kit too.
eezypeezy by Think Big Printing
I'm a director of Think Big Printing and we're expanding into the exciting and newly fashionable world of wall stickers/decals for the home. I currently have a dozen or so designs that I'm launching with next month. After such a successful web design competition I wanted to see what your imaginations could come up with with some product design!
Basically the winning design will be purchased and added to my range, available for purchase in a sheet 1340mm x 500mm (unsure of the imperial conversion sorry) where each of the different elements are seperate and can be incorporated into different layouts on the wall.
My current designs are aimed at young children and babies and I would prefer it if the next few designs I added were for the 5-10 year olds.
There is another prize option to anyone who wants to take me up on the offer after the contest has ended: If you aren't chosen as the winner, but you want me to produce your submitted design into a wall sticker kit and see it in the marketplace - I am happy to produce it and ship it to you a kit in exchange for the rights to re-sell the graphics. The Large kits (1340x500mm) sell at $125 AUD each. If you did want to do this, please let me know as soon after the winner has been declared as is possible. (DON'T tell me before as I might be swayed to take you up on the offer and declare another designer the winner and I don't want to do this as I''m sure you'd all prefer the cash rather than the stickers)
- target market preferably 5-10 year old boys and girls
- the design needs to fit (and fill) a sheet of sticker that is 1340x500mm - the more wasted space on the sheet of sticker, the less value for money the client will see.
- stickers will be cut to shape, and these shapes need to avoid too much detail as this makes them too hard for the machines to cut, and too hard for the customers to apply - the aim is for the stickers to be fun funky and eezypeezy to use. Final file provided to me will need to contain lines which will be converted to a cut line. Cuts can be inside designs as well.. for example if cutting out the letter "o" cut line would need to be on the outside and inside.
- I want 3d looking images where possible as there seem to be a lot of 'simple' one colour or boring multi colour sticker kits available... that's not to say I won't like less intricate designs as one of my favourite design to date is a drawing of a simple stick-figure like boy and his dog)
- Designs will need to be Vector images in adobe illustrator (cs2 compatible)
- I havent got any car or traffice designs yet, nor fairys, gardens or underwater themes... I do have dinosaurs, owls (birds are polular, so more is okay) dots with names and personality traits, pink ponys and unicorns and cute jungle characters.
- I like the idea of a design that appeals to adults and kids, but the kids bedroom wall decorating is my primary focus.
- The winning design will be produced and sold, so please don't use anything that will breach copyrights.
- dinosaurs - got too many of these already (I went dinosaur mad for a couple of weeks!)
- complex shape for outline cut - please imagine that you're peeling off the floppy sticker and applying to the wall... no need to complicate this process with overly complex shapes... if unsure, just ask me.
- I don't want anyone to make me feel bad about the prize amount- I need to stick to my budgets to make this new venture viable, and I tried to do this while offering something that isn't peanuts. I don't expect 3d rendering as in the $2000 earphone competition... if you feel the prize isn't worth your time, whip a concept up in an hour and if I like it I'll buy it and fiddle with it myself to get it to production stage.

I'm stuck on my Besssie Pease. It's the second time I'm doing it. The first time I was so excited I didn't even think about a pattern, I just started. The second time as you can see, I've made my decorater blocks an 1" smaller than my framed blocks. Mind you my sewing is a bit iffy, but I'm getting back into the swing of it. I had to stop doing this quilt for awhile out of frustration. Can anyone help me?
Please download pics, they are normal. For some reason they come up dark on page.

BAZARAK, Afghanistan — Even among Afghans, who are generally wary of outsiders, the members of the ethnic Tajik population of the Panjshir Valley are an unusually suspicious lot. So it is their good fortune to have been blessed with the closest thing to a naturally occurring "keep out" sign: a deep and narrow gorge at the valley's mouth that seems tailor-made for obstruction and ambush.
It has been a long while since they needed to resort to that. But in case anyone might think that Panjshir, which led the resistance to Taliban rule in the 1990s and was a redoubt against the Soviet military the decade before, had let down its guard, the valley's police are building a reinforced, new checkpoint across a road through the gorge.
Muhammad Rafiq, a gray-bearded police officer at the post, succinctly summed up the reason: "Anyone can be Taliban," he said.
Then he flashed a smile. "We can fight the Taliban if they want to come back," he added. "We all know what is possible in Afghanistan."
After years of relative peace, and an almost complete absence of Taliban attacks, worry is returning to the Panjshir Valley, a twisting 60-mile chute cut from the Hindu Kush mountains by a cold and rocky river. American-led combat forces are due to leave Afghanistan by year's end, a national election is only four months away, and President Hamid Karzai appears intent on spending his final months in office focused on opening peace talks with the Taliban, whom he often calls "brothers."
No one here calls the Taliban brothers. People talk instead about getting ready in case the Afghan Army and the police falter once the Americans are gone. For many in Panjshir, the best news out of Kabul these days is that the Taliban have shown little interest in negotiating.
"You don't shake hands with Taliban," said Shamshullah, 56, a village elder who like many Afghans uses one name and once battled Soviet troops in the valley. "You kill them."
Already famed as resistance fighters, Panjshiris also played a central role in events after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the subsequent fight to oust the Taliban government. The first C.I.A. operatives to enter Afghanistan flew into Panjshir with $3 million in cash to buy off members of the old Northern Alliance and ensure they could take on the Taliban, according to "First In," a book written by Gary C. Schroen, who led the first C.I.A. team into Afghanistan.
Panjshiris, as the ethnic Tajiks of the valley are known, went on to dominate the initial post-Taliban order here. But they soon saw some of their influence wane as Americans pushed to install more technocrats in the government and Mr. Karzai sought to placate the Pashtuns, the largest ethnic group in the country, from which the Taliban draw almost all their support.
Mention Mr. Karzai, who is Pashtun, in the valley nowadays, and you are likely to hear him dismissed as Taliban along with most other Pashtuns.
"They're all Taliban," said Abbas Zahiri, 19, who grills kebabs at a restaurant in Bazarak, the provincial capital. "We don't want them to come here."
Concerns about a Taliban resurgence are not confined to Panjshir. In other areas of northern and western Afghanistan that tried to resist Taliban conquest nearly 20 years ago, and mostly failed, old mujahedeen commanders are talking about rearming their militias. They fear the coming election may be as fraud-filled as the last one, and the result will be a fractured government and a resurgent Taliban.
The concerns have been heightened by Mr. Karzai's refusal to sign a long-term security agreement that would keep American-led forces in Afghanistan past 2014, and Panjshiris may already be taking action. Western security experts and senior Afghan defense officials say Panjshiri boasts about squirreling away weapons throughout the valley are credible.
Still, the incessant chatter in Panjshir about weapons and war and betrayal can seem a bit incongruous. The number of Taliban attacks here in the past decade can be counted on a single hand, and foreigners feel safe enough to make day trips from Kabul to picnic and hike.
In Kabul, meanwhile, there are numerous billboards with pictures of Panjshir's most famous native son, Ahmed Shah Massoud, who fought the Soviets in the 1980s and led the Northern Alliance against the Taliban a decade later. He was killed by Al Qaeda on Sept. 9, 2001, and the anniversary of his death is a national holiday.
Mr. Massoud's former lieutenants have made sure that Panjshiris, who constitute a small portion of Afghanistan's total population of 32 million people, still are heavily represented in the Afghan elite. The leading opposition presidential candidate, Abdullah Abdullah, and a handful of the vice-presidential candidates are Panjshiri. Muhammad Qasim Fahim, the current first vice president, and Defense Minister Bismullah Khan are from Panjshir, as are the Kabul police chief and dozens of other senior officials and military officers.
Panjshir is also the only province where uniformed agents from the National Directorate of Security, Afghanistan's main intelligence agency, are basically on highway patrol. They are instantly recognizable at checkpoints with their American M4 assault rifles and fitted body armor, and they regularly cruise the road through the valley in late-model Toyota pickup trucks with weapon mounts.
"It is no secret that many influential people come from Panjshir," said Abdul Jabbar Naeemi, the deputy governor of Panjshir Province, when asked about why some of Afghanistan's best trained commandos were running road security. "Panjshiri people are not afraid to speak up. They have to be protected."
They are certainly outspoken. Compared with other Afghans, who can be deferential to a fault, Panjshiris are more like New Yorkers — even the children can be brash and direct.
"You, you're done taking pictures!" a boy shouted at one visiting photographer. A second earlier, the boy had been posing for pictures with an old Soviet tank that sat rusting in grass next to his school. But he was now done, and so, he decided, was the photographer.
"You've taken up enough time," he said and walked off.
Then there are the war stories. The actual exploits of Panjshiri mujahedeen fighters are dramatic enough, one would think, given their tremendous record of success with few losses as they fought the Soviets and the Taliban in years of hardship and sacrifice. But many of those victories seem to take another step out of legend and into fantasy each time they are recounted.
Mr. Shamshullah, the village elder, for example, told of the night that he and eight other Panjshiris overcame a Soviet battalion in the 1980s.
More than 400 Soviets were killed, he said, and the Afghans lost no one.
Panjshiris may also remind you that they were the ones who finally drove the Taliban from power. That is certainly true, to a degree, but you probably should not then suggest that they might have needed Western help to do it.
"The Americans needed us!" boasted Mr. Zahiri, the kebab griller, who was hardly old enough to remember. "Without Panjshir, Kabul would still belong to the Taliban. It won't happen again."

Which is a pretty contentious question, and an odd one to ask as an atheist. My question is: what are the strengths and weaknesses of the different English translations of the Bible?
Readability, enjoyability of that read (poeticness would be a factor if it was a word) and a certain amount of consistency to the source material are all factors. I'm mostly interested in the Old Testament: It's got some pretty cool stories, I celebrate Jewish holidays with my Jewish friends and I want to know what's going on, and it's a little bit about making fun of Christians.
I haven't found any satisfactory answer on the interwebs or on the nexus. There's too much information that I can't adequately filter and, besides, I want you know you lovely peoples opinions.
(Something I've heard: Richard Dawkins likes The King James Version because of the poetic Elizabethan Prose)
Views: 1470
I'm with Dawkins on this. The King James version wields language like a flaming sword, it's just astonishing to me. Ecclesiastes, Psalms, Proverbs and especially good ol' Revelations. I've tried reading other versions but they just don't have that "epic" feel that I get from the KJV.
I know this is sort of a necro post, but another x2 on the OKJV. The NKJV changed several things, including removing references to unicorns.
King James Version (KJV)
9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
New King James Version (NKJV)
9 "Will the wild ox be willing to serve you?
Will he bed by your manger?
10 Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes?
Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
11 Will you trust him because his strength is great?
Or will you leave your labor to him?
12 Will you trust him to bring home your grain,
And gather it to your threshing floor?
Errr, not sure what you're driving at. Maybe unicorn has a more poetic vibe to it, but the translation of the NKJV as wild ox is more accurate. It's unclear exactly what animal is meant by the Hebrew re'em (rendered as unicorn in KJV), but going by the description of a wild untamable beast with horns, it's more likely referring to an ancestral form of cattle, most likely the auroch.
The King James is a beautiful literary work, but it is not the most accurate translation we have by any stretch of the imagination -why would it be, given that we have several centuries of Biblical scholarship to draw from now?
Most modern translations are far more accurate, though it comes at the expense of poetic value. It guess to each his own.
Of course the morons at AIG think unicorns actually existed (because they have this weird idea that the KJV is the infallible translation of God) but, like everything else they say, it's rather hard to take it seriously.
It was to highlight the unreliability of different translations of the Bible. There are also those that believe Unicorns did exist in the literal sense, as illustrated by the link I provided to answers in genesis. Plus it makes it more interesting reading it as unicorn than aurochs.
KJV. I used the book of Isaiah and the word "piss" on a xtian who was determined to convert me. She claimed that there are no "curse" words in the bible. I gave her a list of text that had the word piss in it. She was so highly upset that she crossed out piss and wrote waste. I gave it back to her and told her that I quoted the King James Version, not some sanitized bible that kept people like her ignorant and lost.
She sat down and cried and said, that she could not believe that G'd would allow man to put that word in the bible.
Makes a great weapon against maroons.
For consistency to the source material, a study of scholar Jason Beduh (Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of ...) found that the Bible translations by the Jehovah's witnesses - the Watchtower editions - are the most reliable.
This is because the Jehovah's witnesses are non-Trinitarians, and where Trinitarian translations of the Bible tend to 'creatively translate' passages in the older gospels that don't fit well with the concept of the Trinity, the Watchtower simply translates them accurately.
Well I obviously never did a comparative analysis myself, so I can't comment, but it seems to me like the problem there may have been the magazine rather than the actual Watchtower translations.
That said when a modern word is used in a translation that's not meant to imply that that was actually the word used (obviously not, since it's a translation), it's used to express the various connotations that an ancient Greek word has. And sometimes a modern English word does that better than older words. Obviously the word 'embryo' won't have been in the Bible, but if the text is talking about an early prenatal state, it actually makes sense to translate it as embryo.
Jason Beduhn went over the more problematic passages in terms of Trinitarian theology and found that the Jehovah's Witnesses were quite consistent though. If there really were cases where they were injecting scientific connotations were not exist, I think he would have noticed that.
bible comes in versions ????
All of them are bad. They have the bible online -- if you really want to read it. It will make you a stronger atheist.
I agree, KJV is the best version for consistency. Its funny how such a derivative piece of fiction got so many remakes.
When it comes to consistency to the source material, that's really not true though. The KJV is several centuries old; modern Bible translations have the advantage of centuries of scholarship into Ancient Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic.
The KJV is probably the most poetic version, but for the same reason it's also one of the least close to the source material by modern standards.

Claes Arentsz (17th century)
Claes Arentsz, Elder of the Flemish Mennonite church of Nieuwe Zijpe in the Netherlands, had spoken slightingly of infant baptism while performing a baptismal service at de Waal on the island of Texel on 3 March 1649. For this he was imprisoned on a charge brought by the Reformed minister J. G. Molanus, author of Christen-Kinderdoopswaerheydt (1650). Arentsz was soon released on bail, but was forced to dispute with Molanus and the other Reformed ministers of the island. In this disputation he was assisted by Galenus Abrahamsz and two other preachers of Amsterdam. After the dispute Arentsz was ordered never to publicly oppose infant baptism. At a meeting of conservative Flemish elders, preachers, and deacons held at Leiden in June 1660, and presided over by van Braght, Arentsz was invited to give two addresses.

And on the first day, Zeph and Innergoat gave Rossmum the rep
And he saw it was something to be used only for good
Thus, with a quick political joke about Murica
Rep was spread to me with the message of responsibility
And thus Tyrant did spread the rep
And in the following days it was spread some more
Until today, a day when all good men have rep

Dan Morain: Gun roundup saves lives
On a cold night at the northeast end of Stockton, a California Department of Justice agent wearing a bulletproof vest beneath his black uniform knocked on the door of a small tract home. A 65-year-old man living alone peeked out.
The agent started talking as eight other agents stood nearby, unseen by the man. State records showed the man was the registered owner of eight handguns. Separate records showed that twice, authorities deemed that he needed to be held in locked psych wards because he was a danger to himself or others.
The agent's goal was to gain the man's trust and seize his guns. No, the man said, he didn't have the handguns. Yes, the agent and his partners could come in and see for themselves. A half-hour later, they emerged with two revolvers, six bolt-action rifles and a crate filled with 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
"He does have a love of guns," said John Marsh, the special agent in charge of the unit. The man seemed unaware that he had some of the guns, which were stowed in closets and under furniture. Agents didn't arrest him, but would refer the matter to local authorities. "I'd say he is more of a danger to himself. He definitely has his bad days."
As they mull how to overhaul the nation's gun laws, President Barack Obama, Congress and legislators ought to take notice of the work of a unit within the California Justice Department's Bureau of Firearms, the only one of its type in any state in the union.
Night after night, 33 state agents coax guns out of the hands and homes of people who have lost their right to possess them. The program goes by the bureaucratic name of Armed Prohibited Persons System.
Although such a program probably would not have stopped Adam Lanza from massacring 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School last month, the Bureau of Firearms agents undoubtedly have saved lives.
They have seized more than 10,000 owned firearms since 2007, including 2,000 guns last year, almost 120,000 rounds of ammunition and 11,000 illegal high-capacity magazines. Attorney General Kamala Harris said she is trying to figure out how to double the unit's size.
"It's a high priority," Harris said.
The concept is simple enough. Department of Justice analysts compile names of gun buyers based on records of sales dating back to 1996, plus people who registered their assault weapons as a result of a 1989 statute. The list includes 996,000 individuals in California who own 2.2 million guns.
Using other databases, the analysts tease out people who became barred from owning guns after they purchased them. They've been convicted of felonies, violent misdemeanors or criminal domestic violence, or have domestic violence restraining orders against them, or have been detained because of mental illness.
The "armed prohibited persons" list included 19,820 people as of last week, and grows by about 15 people a day. The individuals have registered 38,563 handguns and 1,647 assault weapons. About 30 percent of the people are on the list because of mental illness.
Marsh and his team have gone to some of the most rural parts of the state to seize guns, and have stopped felons returning from Nevada guns shows, where Californians who cannot legally own guns under this state's laws, can buy any kind of gun, no questions asked. The agents recently helped arrest 23 felons in possession of firearms in tough parts of Oakland, seizing 15 handguns, three rifles, three assault weapons and five shotguns.
I tagged along as they knocked on 10 doors on one night in Stockton, and 11 doors in Elk Grove and Sacramento on another night. Marsh said they were slow nights, though agents seized 24 pistols, rifles and shotguns. Abiding by the ground rules, I stayed in Marsh's pickup truck, while agents went about their work.
Their first stop was at the rundown home of a parolee, a Crip, whose new Mercedes sat in the driveway. They searched for man's handgun in his house and car, and came up empty. Marsh described the home as having rodent droppings, cockroaches and two little children. The owner said the gun had been stolen, a common claim.
Some gun owners weren't home, including a man convicted of child exploitation who lived in a gated neighborhood in Elk Grove. Agents would return another night.
At a house in south Sacramento, they learned the target, a convicted child molester, had moved without letting his parole officer know. The current occupants, eight young men, were watching a basketball game and smoking weed. The agents weren't interested in making a pot bust, and left reeking of smoke. They would contact the molester's parole officer the following day.
On the final stop last Tuesday night, after 10 p.m., they knocked on the door of a 39-year-old man who lives on a side street in Del Paso Heights, and had been convicted of assault with a firearm years earlier.
After several minutes, the man opened his door, and they talked their way inside. He had a loaded revolver, a loaded shotgun, and eight other rifles and shotguns, plus ammunition. They took him to Sacramento County jail, where he would be booked on charges of being a felon in possession of guns and ammunition.
He probably won't do prison time. And he could drive to a Nevada gun show to buy more firearms. But Marsh's crew did its part by removing his guns.
"You have the sense you're saving lives," Marsh said. "You're preventing them from killing themselves or someone else."
Treasurer Bill Lockyer, a Democrat, came up with the concept of the Armed Prohibited Persons System in 2001 when he was attorney general. To carry the bill, he turned to then-Senate Republican leader Jim Brulte.
Brulte, who is running to become California Republican Party chairman, was an especially adept lawmaker, and got support from the major interest groups involved in the issue, including the National Rifle Association.
The Legislature approved it without a single "no" vote. The most conservative legislators overlooked the cost, initially $4.3 million a year, though it has grown to $6.4 million. Attitudes since have hardened.
In 2011, Harris pushed legislation authorizing he program to be funded from the $19 fee that people pay when they buy guns. There's little room for compromise on gun control these days. GOP lawmakers at the NRA's request opposed the bill, and the NRA has sued in federal court in Fresno to block the funding.
Harris said the NRA's suit shows it "is spinning out of control." She sent a letter to Vice President Joe Biden last week urging administration support. Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Napa, has become a champion and told me he hopes to free up money to assist states seeking to start similar programs.
Even if the feds do help pay, gun politics are such that some states would refuse the money. The thought of agents picking over lists of gun owners would not be popular in many regions.
Times are different now. But not long ago, Democrats, Republicans, gun control advocates and Second Amendment absolutists devised a program that works. Politicians wanting to curb gun violence would do well to follow the lead of the 33 Bureau of Firearms agents, who night after night knock on the doors of convicts, wife beaters and mentally ill people, and take their guns.

Somehow, the junk filter in Barca is running wild. This morning, when I downloaded my mails, about half of the regular mails were sorted into the junk filter. The one or two junk mails that arrived were left in the IN box.
Most of the false positives in the junk filter were from mailing lists that I subscribe to (mainly Yahoogroups and JiscMail). But other mails from the exact same groups landed in the IN box. But the junk filter also sometimes catches false positives which are important (and usually urgent) mails from my clients. So the junk filter seems to be more trouble than it is worth.
Has anyone else observed the same problems?

Yesterday, Disney announced that it is buying Lucasfilm for $4 billion. What that really means is that Disney is buying the Star Wars franchise for $4 billion.
That's a ton of money for a franchise that might be getting long in the tooth. As Kevin Roose pointed out yesterday on New York Magazine's web site, the timing of the announcement was very strange. Most media in New York are either struggling with no power or focused on the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy at the moment. Roose suggests that Disney didn't wait to make the announcement because 1) the company wanted to cheer up folks in storm-ravaged cities, 2) they were going to make the announcement yesterday anyway and just went ahead with their schedule or 3) the deal is a financial dud.
I think for the most part, this was a very safe bet for Disney. The price is about the same that Disney paid for Marvel in 2010 (and less than it paid for Pixar in 20060. Star Wars comes with legions of devoted fans of all ages and a vast universe of 17,000 characters to be exploited.
In Pictures: George Lucas Handing Over 'Star Wars' Baton In Disney Deal
But as screenwriter William Goldman famously said, in Hollywood, "no one knows anything." A studio might think it has a can't-miss formula for a blockbuster with the prefect stars attached and the best marketing plan and then everything flops horribly. So I'm going to play the skeptic. Here are five ways Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm could go horribly wrong:
1) John Carter
Yes, The Avengers was the biggest hit of the year but let's not forget John Carter. The $250 million film (not counting marketing costs) brought in only $283 million at the global box office. A film has to at least double its production budget to even begin to think about breaking even since, on average, half of box office revenues go to theater owners. The point is, Disney is capable of spectacular hits and spectacular flops. Obviously Star Wars has a big advantage over John Carter because it is already such a well-known brand, but sometimes in Hollywood, the best ideas go terribly wrong.
2) Jar Jar Binks
No one at Disney is stupid enough to try and make a Jar Jar Binks spin-off. The Gungan is the most hated character in all of the Star Wars universe. But what if Binks is a fair representative of the rest of the fringe characters? I admit, I don't know all of the member of the Galactic Senate so maybe there are some really wonderful characters hiding back there. But maybe there are also a lot more Jar Jar Binks. Lucas thought Binks would be a great character for kids and I'm sure there are some kids out there who love him. But just because someone is a Star Wars character, doesn't mean he's worthy of a spin-off.
3) Ant-Man vs. Merl Tosche
Disney is already reaching deep into Marvel's comic universe to come up with new superhero franchises. The studio announced that an Ant-Man movie is slated for 2015. While Ant-Man is no Iron Man, I'm sure he has plenty of fans. I had to look him up but I'm not a big comic book fan. But what about Merl Tosche? You don't know who he is? He's the guy who founded the Tosche station on Tattooine. OK, I picked his name at random from the Star Wars Wiki. I didn't know who he was either. But that's the point. The vast majority of fans have never heard of the vast majority of those 17,000 Star Wars characters. The number of people we'd like to see spin-off films about (Han Solo, please) is actually relatively small.
4) Star Wars fatigue
There is probably only a small possibility that people will get tired of Star Wars. The franchise has been going strong since 1977. But the market is already pretty Star Wars saturated. There are aisles dedicated to Star Wars toys in every Target. The Clone Wars is a hit on Cartoon Network. And there's no shortage of clothes, lunch boxes and mugs dedicated to the Star Wars universe. How much more can the market take? At some point, is Star Wars just going to seem too prevalent. And if that happens, people will want to find the next new things which leads me to my next concern.
5) What are we missing?
Studios are becoming more and more risk averse. They don't want to spend money on daring new ideas, they want to spend money on stories with proven track records. From a financial point of view, I get that. But as a movie lover, it makes me kind of sad. Yes, it's possible to make something incredibly entertaining and even a little original from an older story. But it doesn't provide the same kind of jolt we got when we first saw The Matrix or Avatar. We didn't know those worlds existed and we were so happy to discover them. By focusing on Star Wars, Disney will pass on a lot of original ideas and that's too bad.
What do you think? What are some other ways Disney's purchase could go wrong?

This year I fancy putting my own Saber together and would like some advice if possible please?
I know Lee posted last year or maybe 2016 about the graflex 2.0 kits but I'm not sure if anything came of it. Anyway, there now looks to be a 2.5 kit on the market for around the same 200 USD price point, I just wondered if anyone had built either of them, maybe even both?
Are they essentially the same? Is one better than the other? Do you need to be Uber skilled to put them together?

Introduction to CoffeeScript
This screencast is sponsored by the CoffeeScript book, new from the Pragmatic Programmers.
With chapters on jQuery and NodeJS, this book will bring you to the cutting edge of web development.
Show Notes
With the adoption of CoffeeScript by the Node.js community, the JavaScript community in general, and with CoffeeScript's inclusion in the upcoming Rails 3.1 release, it's probably a good idea to see what all the fuss is about.
In this free CoffeeScript screencast we'll cover all the basics and some neat features that will make the writing of complex JavaScript a thing of the past.
What You'll Learn
How to install and use CoffeeScript How to use the standard types in CoffeeScript How to write functions in CoffeeScript How to write classes in CoffeeScript
Welcome to the Introduction to CoffeeScript screencast. With the adoption of CoffeeScript by the Node.js community, the JavaScript community in general, and with CoffeeScript's inclusion in the upcoming Rails 3.1 release, it's probably a good idea to see what all the fuss is about.
What is CoffeeScript?
CoffeeScript is a language that compiles down to JavaScript. This means that code in
.coffee files are not interpreted at run time, but are compiled beforehand into
.js files.
Why CoffeeScript?
First of all, JavaScript got a bad wrap in the past for the copy-and-paste mentality of the 90's and early 2000's, where no one really knew what was going on. But JavaScript as a language really is great and has a lot to offer.
Saying that, you can get lost in the curly brackets and semi-colons - It can get messy, and sometimes a tad unreadable.
CoffeeScript gets around these issues by adding "syntactic sugar", similar to what Ruby and Python have to offer, which helps us write less code faster, which is also easier to read. Even when it's compiled down, CoffeeScript performs as well as JavaScript, and in some instances the compiled JavaScript has even better performance over hand-written code, due to optimizations CoffeeScript uses that some people may not be aware of. You can actually learn a lot about JavaScript by looking at what CoffeeScript compiles down to, so we encourage you to do that, and ask why CoffeeScript has done things a particular way.
Installing CoffeeScript
To install CoffeeScript we're going to use Homebrew. If you're unfamiliar with Homebrew, we encourage you to check out our How to Use Homebrew screencast to get up to speed.
First, let's update Homebrew to make sure we have the latest formula for CoffeeScript. We do this by typing
brew update.
Next, we'll install CoffeeScript. The formula name is
coffee-script so let's
brew install coffee-script. As you can see, node.js is a dependency for the
coffee-script formula, so this install may take some time.
OK, now let's check to see if the latest CoffeeScript has been installed correctly. We'll do this by typing
coffee -v.
CoffeeScript Usage
You can use the
coffee command in various ways. We'll show you a couple ways you can get your CoffeeScript to output to JavaScript, so that you can follow along.
To compile a directory of
.coffee files to a parallel tree of
.js files, we first write
coffee followed by
-o, which means output, followed by the directory where we want our JavaScripts to be stored. Then we add
-c, which means compile, followed by the directory where our CoffeeScripts are stored.
As you can see, the
example.coffee compiles down to
example.js. There is a little gotcha here that we should mention: if you reverse the order of the
-c and
-o options, it doesn't work. So you need the output first, then the compile option second with the CoffeeScript directory you want to compile.
But running this command every time you want to compile your CoffeeScript could get a little tedious, so, there's a
-w option you can include after the
coffee command. this sets up a 'watcher' that will do the conversion automatically between the two folders
There's another gotcha here to be aware of: If you add a file to the folder where the CoffeeScripts are stored, and if the watcher is already running, it won't pick it up. You'll need to stop and start it again, and then the watcher will be aware of it. This may change in later versions.
You may want to compile all of your CoffeeScript files down into one JavaScript file so that a user's brower doesn't make multiple HTTP requests. To do this, add the
-j or
--join option followed by the JavaScript file name you want to compile all your CoffeeScript files into. You need to specify the CoffeeScript files you want to compile. You can specify multiple files, or use a wildcard operator.
As you can see a
app.js file is created in the
javascript folder.
The other helpful way to play around with the
coffee command is to just type
coffee with no options or arguments. This opens an interactive shell similar to
irb in Ruby. So this can be a great tool to try things out in your console.
TextMate Bundle
There's also a TextMate bundle, created by CoffeeScript's inventor, Jeremy Ashkenas.
To install it, visit the GitHub repository, and copy and paste the commands into the terminal window.
We'll need to restart TextMate in order to load the bundle.
This bundle doesn't just have syntax highlighting, but also has two commands which you can run. First, it includes "Compile and Display JS", which compiles the code in your editor, or a selected portion in your code, and shows you the compiled JavaScript code. The second command is "Run", which compiles the code in your editor and evaluates the JavaScript and shows you the result of the execution.
To "Compile and Display JS", hit
Command + B. To "Run", hit Command + R. Just remember B to build, and R to run.
Please note that these two tasks may not work out-of-the-box, since TextMate's PATH variable may not be set to include your terminal's PATH. You terminal path will include additional directories, so that you can run the packages installed with Homebrew.
To update TextMate with the correct
PATH, first
echo your
$PATH variable in your terminal, and copy it. Then go to TextMate, Preferences, Advanced, and Shell Variables. Uncheck the
PATH already there, and hit the add button. Then enter
PATH for the
Variable section, and paste in your real path into the
Value section.
Now you should be all set up. So let's get into CoffeeScript itself.
Declaring Variables
To declare variables in CoffeeScript, you don't need any special
var declarations. You simply type the variable name, an equals sign, and then the value.
In CoffeeScript, strings are declared with quotes, as in most languages.
If you want to concatenate (or join) strings, you can list them one after another with a plus symbol in between, like this:
Or, you can include the
# symbol and encapsulate it in parentheses within the string.
Note that this method of string interpolation only works when you use double quotes. If you use single-quotes, it resolves to the text as-is. In other words, single quote strings are literal strings.
You'll likely recognize this behavior if you have a Ruby background.
Functions are declared by specifying the name of the function, followed by an equals sign, and then a function symbol,
As you see, we haven't called return at the end of the function. That's because every function returns the last line of code.
If you want to do a multi-lined function, all you need to do is add a return after the function symbol (
->), and then add some white space before each line that you want to run in that function.
Let's add another line to see what that looks like. Let's add a
tax_rate of 5%.
Now this is fairly static. We should probably setup some arguments, so that we can pass in different values for hours and rate. Just before the function symbol (
->), we'll add parentheses with the argument names separated by commas.
Another bit of syntactic sugar that's built into method signatures is the option to add default values. So we can move our
tax_rate = 1.05 into our method signature.
With that, we can bring our function code back to just one line.
Arrays can be declared several different ways in CoffeeScript. We're all used to seeing array declarations with square brackets, and values separated by commas.
However, CoffeeScript has a few other helpful ways to write arrays. First, you can declare arrays over multiple lines like this:
But you have to remember your white space on each line.
You can also optionally remove the trailing comma from each line.
You can also use a combination of these two declaration styles. Let's say we have a Sudoku sub-grid that we want to write in a readable format for the start of a game.
First we'll declare a name
sub_grid, open the square brackets, and on each line we'll write the 3 values per line seperated by a comma, leaving the comma off after the last value in each line.
As you can see, declaration of arrays is varied, and can be used to make code more readable in different situations.
Ranges are declared by an integer, then two periods, then another number, all wrapped in square brackets.
This gets compiled down in to an array in JavaScript, since Ranges aren't a standard object type in Javascript.
You can also pass ranges into arrays, in order to get sub-sections of those arrays. Let's say we want to get the months from
march_to_may. So, we want to start at index
2 and end at index
4. Remember, array indexes are zero-based.
You can also replace values in arrays by a similar technique. Let's say we want to replace the month numbers from 3 to 5 with their name counterparts. To do this, you set the range
months[2..4] to
["March", "April", "May"].
The months array has now been changed to:
[1, 2, 'March', 'April', 'May', 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
A quick aside: Ranges in CoffeeScript can be in reverse order. For example if you wanted to count down from 15 to 0 you'd say
countdown = [15..0].
Hashes or JSON objects can be declared in the usual way, declaring the key/value pairs we're all familiar with.
While this works fine in CoffeeScript, you can drop the commas and parentheses.
As long as you indent with some white space, the structure gets nested as you'd expect.
A great addition to the tools already provided by CoffeeScript are splats. A splat is a convenient way to accept and pass in multiple values as arguments to methods.
OK, so let's say we want to allocate points for people who check in to a store in a particular hour.
Lets say the first person gets 5 points, the second gets 3, and every one else will get one point.
Let's create a function,
Then, let's add some parameters.
first for the first person, and
second for the second person.
Now what about the rest? Well, since we don't know how many people there will be, this is an ideal time to use a splat. To declare a splat, you give the name of the variable followed but three periods. Let's call ours
rest followed by three periods (
Now let's call a function we haven't declared yet,
addPointsToUser. It'll take a user as the first parameter, and the number of points to be added to the user as the second parameter.
Let's create our
addPointsToUser function.
Within this function we're not going to do anything other than log the user and the points added.
OK so let's try this out.
Let's declare a users array
Now let's pass in the array to the
allocatePoints method.
When we hit command R to run, we get a result we're not expecting...
That's because when you use splats in the declaration of your method, you must also use a splat, the three periods (
...), after the variable passed in to that method. So in our case we need to do
When we run again we get the right result showing the allocation of 5 points to Andrew and 3 points to Josh.
However we're missing the
rest of the 1 point allocations. To do this, we can use a for loop. We'll write
for user in rest, and then nested within this, we'll
addPointstoUser user, adding
1 point.
Now while it's nice to write code like this, CoffeeScript allows you two write loops in a more concise way, with comprehensions.
Comprehensions work particularly well if you have a loop with just one line of code. In our case, the for loop can be written on one line, with the one line of code prepending the
for statement.
Another neat trick is if you ever want to store the results of a particular operation into an array, all you need to do is assign a variable name to the loop.
Let's say we want to store the first ten multiples of 2 in an array called
multiples. To do this, we'd first write
multiples = followed by the for loop
for num in [1..10], then the line of code you want to execute in each cycle,
num * 2.
This can also be written on one line, but we'd need to add parentheses.
General Syntax
So far we've covered the basics: the types of objects that can be created in CoffeeScript, how to declare them, iterate over them and how to write and call functions. But CoffeeScript offers more syntactic sugar in the general language.
For example you can write code that looks like it's written in English. For example you can write:
Which is the same as:
Obviously, different scenarios and other considerations will factor into your keyword choices. The second example is just to show you there's another way of writing it.
Here's a list of additional keywords and syntactic sugar that CoffeeScript brings to the table.
is === isnt !== not ! and && or || true, yes, on true false, no, off false @, this this of in in no equivalent
For examples of how to use these operators and aliases please see the CoffeeScript documentation.
Existential Operator
Another great addition that CoffeeScript brings is the Existential Operator, which is a question mark (
Let's say you want to call the function
login() if the
username hasn't been set yet. All you would do is type
login() if not username with a question mark (
?) at the end.
The Existential Operator is also good for setting values if they haven't been set, just like this:
So if the
last_login variable isn't set, the string is
The third way you can use the Existential Operator is in a similar way to a ternary operator.
In this example the
message would be set as whatever the
greeting variable is or if
greeting is undefined or not present
"Hello World" would be the value of the
Writing classes in JavaScript hasn't been that straight forward. With CoffeeScript it's trivialised. To declare a class, all you need to is write the keyword
class, followed by the name of your class.
Methods for classes are written with the name of the method followed by a colon. Of course, you need to include some white space before the method name. You can include method arguments in parentheses, then followed by the function arrow (
There is one method you can define that is used for constructing new objects. This method is called
Instance Variables
Let's pass in the animal's name into the constructor. We can assign the name to an instance variable. As you can see, an instance variable is just like an instance variable in Ruby, with an at-symbol (
@) in front.
We can access this variable at a later point using dot notation.
There's a short-hand way that you can write this pattern of a method and the setting of an instance variable; all you need to do is move the instance variable into the method signature.
So our constructor now looks like this:
When introducing objects into any code, it won't be long before you're making sub-classes.
Let's create a noise method called
makeNoise, where we display the name of the animal and the noise it makes.
Let's create two subclasses of
Dog and
Cat. To write a subclass, use the keyword
class followed by the name of the subclass, followed by the keyword
extends and the superclass you want it to inherit from.
We can then define our subclass-specific
makeNoise methods.
Within these two methods, we can call
super and pass in the parameters required for the superclass' method signature.
Now let's instantiate a
Dog and a
Cat and make them make a noise.
And as you can see the right animals make the right noises.
We've only scratched the surface, and we really encourage you to check out the CoffeeScript documentation to see the full extent of what CoffeeScript has to offer.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 51 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
Each year, top sales people in our company are invited to attend a reward trip. This year is our second annual Excelsior Elite trip (Puerta Vallarta, Mexico) and we would like to start a "series" of logos that match each destination. The design created will establish a 2009 theme and will be used on all awards, collateral, signage at the resort, etc.
We are an insurance sales company and each year our top eschelon of producers are invited to attend a week trip with us in a new destination every year. Generally the destinations will be tropical in nature (Mexico, Carribean, Latin America, etc.) and we want to have a series of logos to commemorate each year's trip.
The logo to be designed must be classy and would ideally fit into our old world tropical, hemingway-esque, or tommy bahama-like feel. Last year, our logo was a palm tree at sunset, and we would like to continue with a tropical like design this year (2009 Destination: Nuevo Vallarta Mexico). The logo needs to show unity to last year's design, but does not have to be a palm tree and sunset…they merely need to have similar qualities like they belong to a series...some other ideas might be abstract flower (like the resort logo or in a medallion like setting), seashells on the beach, palm leaf over chairs, cliffs over the ocean, sailboats on the ocean, etc.
http://www.excelsiorelite.com (on top navigation)
TO VIEW LAST YEAR'S TRIP LOGO TO CREATE THE SERIES FROM (to have the series created):
- Something simple and with a tropical destination feel (last year our logo was a palm tree with a sunset (see http://www.excelsiorelite.com/desti…2008.html).
- Logo must correlate/have unity to last year's design, it doesn't need to be a palm tree, but needs to show that they are part of a series.
- Some other ideas might be tropical flowers (abstract like the resort logo), sea shells, sailing, cliffs over oceans, etc.
- It must be easily translatable on collateral material (we will need it in color and black and white.Vector level quality image.Could be made into a 3-D image (each theme is etched into a crystal block to commemorate the trip...see supplement for photographs)
- The design must be very classy or elegant...our website uses a Tommy Bahama / Ernest Hemingway sort of feel.
- You MAY encorporate the Excelsior Elite logo, but it isn't necessary, if you do, please use the Excelsior Logo.
- A logo with bright or fluorescent coloring.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- The U.S. Senate gave final approval to the farm bill Tuesday, following House approval last week.
After nearly four years of fighting between Democrats and Republicans, the massive package was unveiled last week and approved by Congress in just a matter of days. It was the first time Congress has approved a new farm bill since 2008.
The $956.4 billion package includes a sweeping overhaul of federal farm and nutrition policies on what farmers grow, how food is packaged and sold and how the government helps the poor pay for their food, the Washington Post reported.
"This bill provides certainty to America's farmers and ranchers, and contains a variety of commonsense reforms that my administration has consistently called for, including reforming and eliminating direct farm subsidies and providing assistance for farmers when they need it most. It will continue reducing our deficits without gutting the vital assistance programs millions of hardworking Americans count on to help put food on the table for their families," President Obama said in a statement after the vote.
The vote in the Senate was 68-32. A liberal group of lawmakers voted against the legislation in opposition to $8 billion in food stamp cuts while some conservatives voted against it because it did not cut them enough, the Post said.
Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., described the agreement as "a major bipartisan jobs bill that makes sure that 16 million people who work in agriculture ... have the support that they need," the newspaper said.
The Post said the 959-page bill ends billions of dollars in direct subsidy payments to farmers. In their place, farmers may take advantage of a new crop insurance program, the newspaper said.
The deal also saves billions by consolidating government conservation programs. Government estimates say it is supposed to cut $16 billion in government spending in the next decade.
The Post said the bill has changes to programs involving environmental regulations on farms, aid to dairy and sheep farmers and the kind of food the U.S. Agriculture Department may buy for the nation's food banks.
Negotiations over the farm bill nearly collapsed in July when House Republican leaders, under Tea Party pressure, split the farm bill and held separate votes, one of which would have slashed $40 billion in food stamps by rewriting eligibility rules.
But House and Senate negotiators eventually agreed to cut about $8 billion -- or 1 percent of the program's budget.
"This is not your father's farm bill," said Stabenow, one of the four principal negotiators of the year-delayed legislation.
The White House said Obama will sign the bill into law when it reaches his desk.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., who voted against the bill last week, had urged senators not to pass the bill.
"The losers are the 850,000 low-income households all over America, 1.7 million Americans, who will lose 66 meals a month with this cut to food stamps," she said in a statement.
"Children will go to bed hungry and spend the next day at school unable to concentrate," DeLauro said.
"Veterans and working families will face an empty fridge and a gnawing pain," her statement continued. "Seniors will have to choose between food and warmth. These are our own, hard-working people we are consigning to this fate."
