BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King University women's soccer team got a second-half goal from Keely Easterling, but was unable to erase a three-goal deficit and fell to Carson-Newman University 3-1.
Easterling's 66th minute goal came off a cross into the box from Kaitlin Robinson. Easterling took a touch, then was able to beat the keeper one-on-one for the first goal of her King career. The goal made the score 3-1 , but the Tornado were able to come no closer.
A Carson-Newman barrage in the first half gave the Eagles a commanding 3-0 lead. A goal from six yards out in the 18th minute was the first score of the game. The Eagles would move ahead 14 minutes later on a brilliant goal off a free kick. Susann Kneifel played a free kick into the penalty area, and Sam Thomsit flicked a header to the far post. The lead was stretched to three goals four minutes later.
King created several scoring opportunities late in the second half but was unable to capitalize. Rachel Thorpe and Rayna Spears connected in the 75th minute for a series of perfect passes down the right side. Thorpe dribbled through the legs of a defender and played a cross into the box, but the Eagles' goalkeeper was able to smother the ball just before a shot.
Moments later, Shalisa Barnett sent a free kick from 75 yards away across midfield toward Easterling, who flicked a header to Thorpe from 35 yards away. Thorpe dribbled through three defenders and took a shot from 12 yards out that sailed just wide of the net.
The shots were nearly even, with Carson-Newman taking 18 to King's 15. Each team made four saves in the contest.
The Tornado return to action against crosstown foe Virginia Intermont at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Census Records for Missouri
This entry was originally written by Marsha Hoffman Rising CG, FUGA, FASG, and Pamela Boyer Porter, CGRS, CGL for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Population Schedules
• Indexed'1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930
• Soundex'1880, 1900, 1910, 1920
Industry and Agriculture Schedules
• 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880
Mortality Schedules
• 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880
Slave Schedules
• 1850, 1860
Union Veterans Schedules
• 1890 (all except Daviess and Dekalb counties; some inadvertently included Confederate veterans)
The censuses for the years 1810 and 1820 are lost for all districts. All the remaining population censuses (except for 1890) have survived. The State Historical Society of Missouri in Columbia holds microfilmed copies of all available federal population censuses for Missouri and will make available censuses through 1880 to Missouri residents on interlibrary loan. Mid-Continent Public Library in Independence also holds microfilmed copies of all federal censuses and Soundexes for Missouri and will loan these to Missouri libraries. The Missouri State Archives holds microfilmed copies of all federal censuses for Missouri including the Soundex. The Missouri State Archives knows of no state copies of the federal population schedules that survived the capitol building fire of 1911. It does hold the original federal supplement to the 1880 population census, which enumerated the 'defectives, delinquents, and dependents.' Called Supplemental Schedules Numbers 1'7, this part of the census enumerated those labeled 'Insane, Idiots, Deaf-mutes and Blind, Homeless Children, Prisoners, Paupers and Indigents.' Institutions were inventoried as well as private households. Since the county or state listed was the one of legal residence, the listing for the inhabitants of various institutions will give their last residence before moving into the institution. The Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis has the original agriculture, industry, slave, and mortality schedules. The State Historical Society of Missouri in Columbia has microfilmed copies of these supplemental schedules.
Territorial and State
Censuses were taken during the territorial period in 1814, 1817, and 1819, but only statistical summaries remain. There are listings of heads of families of New Madrid for 1797 and 1803. Heads of families were enumerated for St. Charles in 1817 and 1819 only. Some of the early Spanish censuses of Upper Louisiana have been retrieved from the archives in Seville, Spain, and were published in Louis Houck's The Spanish Regime in Missouri, 2 vols. (Chicago: R.R. Donnelley and Sons, 1909). This publication is an excellent documentary history of the time period between 1770 and 1804. Although Missouri conducted a number of state censuses, most of the individual schedules are lost; only the statistical abstracts remain. The state did compile a census corresponding to the 1840 U.S. census. Nine of those enumerations survived the capitol building fire of 1911. These are for the counties of New Madrid, Newton, Pike, Randolph, Ray, Shelby, Stoddard, Warren, and Rives (now Henry). The originals are located in the Missouri State Archives. A few listings remain for the state censuses of 1844, 1852, 1856, and 1868. Most of these are statistical abstracts only. The state census of 1876 exists for about one-fifth of Missouri's counties. The originals of many censuses remain in the counties, but microfilmed copies have been made by Missouri State Archives and can be searched at its facility. Schulyer County took a special census in 1880. These censuses are not individual enumerations, but by age group similar to the federal population schedules before 1850. They include the number of deaf, dumb, blind, insane, as well as the number of livestock and some agricultural items.
A query using the term 'census' in the Missouri State Archives local records inventory database will determine extant state censuses for each county. Bear in mind that Missouri State Archives has not completed inventories of all counties, so this database is incomplete.

"As one of the largest retail providers of money market funds, we are
committed to providing transparency that helps fund shareholders
understand their investments," said Marie Chandoha, president, Charles
Schwab Investment Management. "While our decision to institute daily
reporting of per-share market value was not prompted by a significant
number of requests from our clients, we believe this more frequent
reporting can serve as an indicator of the stability of our money market
products for investors looking for near real-time information."
Chandoha continued, "We also believe it is incumbent upon us to give our
clients this information with the context to help them know what it
means and how it can be used, and will be developing education materials
that explain in straightforward language why these numbers are being
disclosed daily, how investors can read and use the data, and why
greater transparency benefits investors."
Schwab's money market funds are designed for both short-term investment
and longer-term cash investing needs. The funds invest exclusively in
U.S. dollar-denominated, high-quality, short-term instruments, including
but not limited to securities issued by the federal government,
corporations, municipalities, and banks.
The daily disclosure of per-share market values will not impact how
Schwab's money market funds are managed, nor will it change the funds'
objective to maintain $1.00 stable Net Asset Values (NAVs).
Schwab is the fifth largest manager of money funds in the nation.1

gumptionista necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 109 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
I am currently trademarking the word Gumptionista and need a logo for my website, blog, apparel, potential book, etc.
I will be aiming high with this brand (think Oprah) and I am looking for something exciting, new, and innovative. A Gumptionista is strong, sassy, authentic, and self-aware woman, who fights for what she believes in. Women who speak with conviction, embrace their true self, empower and inspire others. Not feminists. Strong but feminine.
The dictionary describes the word gumption as initiative; aggressiveness; resourcefulness "With his gumption he'll make a success of himself." courage; spunk; guts.
- Looking for an identifying logo for my brand. Has to be able to look good on apparel and other products.
- Can try doing something off the letter G but I don't want it to look like Google
- I like Subelair font.
- Interested in seeing a character for clothing but not necessarily has to be on every branding. One idea was image of the woman as sort of "cartoon" but more like superhero-ish. I see her with long wavy hair and curvy (youthful) with a big smile on her face-but kind of a sassy smile, not your straight ahead smile. Kind of character/cartoon looking. One arm making a muscle and the other hand on her hip. Could try stepping on an image of the earth. You can play with the colors.
- Original artwork only
- Need different formats of the final file (adobe file and others logo files that can be easily manipulated as needed). Whoever wins the chosen design, would like file of Gumptionista (word only), Gumptionista.com, and Gumptionista with logo.
- No pastels
- No stick figures
- Nothing flowery
- Do not use anything similar to other company logos
- The words used to describe Gumptionista may change over time. Do not use the descriptive words in the logo.
- Do not use all caps for Gumptionista
Descubre cómo funciona un concurso de diseño u obtén más información sobre nuestros servicios de diseño de logo.

I watched Miracle on 34th Street (1947) yesterday.
just watched THE CHRISTMAS SHOES.....brilliant movie guys.....recommend!............
Christmas with Kranks. One of the best christmas movies :D
watching 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS EVE.....
Watched the 1951 version of "A Christmas Carol", with Alistair Sim. Have both the b/w and colorized version, and for the first time watched the color version. Very enjoyable, of course, but there is something about b/w films that give them that certain 'something', whatever that is.
Watched Elf again as my daughter wanted to see it!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

The Bureau of Consular Affairs yesterday denied a media report that a schoolboy was able to get his passport renewed at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport at the last minute before boarding on Friday because he is Vice President Wu Den-yih's (吳敦義) grandson.
"It was not the prerogative granted to the child and it wasn't the first time that the bureau's offices at the airport have fixed passengers' passport renewal problems," Bureau of Consular Affairs Director-General Thomas Chen (陳經銓) said.
Chen was responding to a report by the Chinese-language Apple Daily yesterday that said Wu's daughter, Wu Tzu-an (吳子安), was given the privilege of being able to renew her son's passport at the airport while 150 passengers were kept waiting in the cabin.
The China Airlines plane bound for Palau was delayed for 11 minutes as a result of the incident, the report said.
The report prompted criticism from Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Tsai Chi-chang (蔡其昌), who referred to the bureau's Web site, which states that the bureau does not provide a walk-in service at Taoyuan airport for Republic of China citizens' applications for passports, visas or document verification.
Saying the statement is still on the Web site, Tsai said the bureau granted the vice president's family a privilege that was not available to the general public.
Chen said a passport application service at the airport has long been available at the two Ministry of Foreign Affairs Emergency Contact Centers in the restricted area of the two airport buildings, access to which is limited to passengers with boarding passes.
The two offices were set up to provide immediate assistance to passengers, with a 24-hour help line for Taiwanese encountering an emergency while abroad, and emergency issuance of visas and passports, Chen said.
In most situations, passports issued by the centers were given to people who needed to go abroad to help their family members in an emergency, but who lacked passports or whose passports remained valid for less than six months, he said.
There have been cases in which people had applied for or renewed their passports at the airport because the bureau's offices were closed for the night or for holidays, as long as a rush surcharge of NT$900 was paid, Chen added.
In the case on Friday, Chen said, the bureau's staff at the airport received a call from a woman through its hotline saying her child had not been allowed to check in because his passport would be valid for less than six months.
The bureau's staff then met Wu Tzu-an, in a group of six, at the check-in counter and agreed to renew her son's passport, Chen said.
Although it was not an emergency, the staff agreed to renew the child's passport because they did not want to disappoint him at the end of his summer vacation, Chen added.
Chen said the bureau's staff did not know the family's background when they dealt with the case, adding that the ID card presented as required for a child's passport application was his father's, not Wu Tzu-an's.
Chen said the centers at the airport have issued 330 passports over the past three years: 89 passports in 2010, 133 last year and 108 so far this year.
Separately yesterday, the vice president's office said that Wu Den-yih did not know about the incident and that he is willing to apologize for the delay of the flight caused by his grandson's passport application.

Secure UHF for hands-free ticketing
With the rapid increase in urban populations, freedom of movement for passengers will be absolutely crucial to prevent congestion. Public transport must perform better, be more efficient, meet changing expectations, and be more customer-oriented.
G+D Mobile Security has developed the world's first encryption based on ISO29167-19 for UHF technology that will revolutionize hands-free ticketing, allowing passengers to just walk in and out (WIWO) or be-in and be-out (BIBO). BIBO or WIWO is the common name for ticketing long-range technologies that automatically detect and register the presence of passengers in a public transport vehicle. Hence, passengers don't need to tap any contactless card or mobile phone to readers at gates, thus eliminating most of the user interaction that takes place when checking-in and out at CICO systems. To untap these opportunities, though, transit operators and system integrators had, until now, to choose between UHF long-range passive (no battery) contactless performance without encryption and high security in HF technology.
First secure UHF technology developed by G+D experts
G+D now offers Secure UHF as enabling technology for the implementation of secure and reliable hands-free ticketing systems. Our technology is the first and only secure UHF technology currently available, serving the need for combined long-range contactless performance with cryptographic security implementation. It fits perfectly in account-based ticketing systems where identities are managed in the backend systems.
Secure UHF by G+D Mobile Security
Secure UHF is a breakthrough in long-range RFID
While existing UHF solutions are communicating in an unsecure way with plain text, Secure UHF bridges this gap, connecting passive devices for public transport purposes in a secure and cost-efficient way.
Secure UHF is a breakthrough in long-range RFID where security, until now, was not available. Other solutions i.e. based on BLE (Bluetooth low energy) and beacons, have to rely on customers' devices and are therefore difficult to maintain and are subject to changes in mobile phone technology. Secure UHF, however, is used in a contactless RFID media, which has been in the field for decades and is mass-proven.
A new low-power encryption technology called RAMON
G+D Mobile Security has developed a new encryption technology called RAMON, leading to the standardized ISO 29167-19. This technology is characterized by saving power consumption in the RFID (radio frequency identification) chip, which is essential in UHF technology in order to keep long read-out distances.
Unlike existing UHF tags, the data is now transmitted in a securely encrypted manner. This is to prevent unauthorized reading and cloning of the data during transmission between tag and reader.
Bringing authentication and privacy into the long-range game
In general, as more and more powered devices become connected with the IoT and smart cities, there is also a need to connect passive devices without batteries. Active devices are too expensive and therefore not accepted in transit and other environments (high maintenance needed).
Secure UHF brings authentication and privacy into the long-range game: cryptographic keys can be used for tag authentication or for privacy protection.
Secure UHF application areas
We see potential for smart mobility applications including
innovative ticketing solutions like hands-free ticketing (BIBO, WIWO)
automated fare collection (AFC)
fast visitor processing
access control
automatic vehicle identification (AVI)
track & trace
Hands-free ticketing with Secure UHF
Hands-free ticketing solutions will gain importance to speed up onboarding with higher throughput and simultaneous validation instead of one-by-one ticket validation. This approach also provides the unique possibility of serving the requirements of gated and non-gated public transport environments with a single technology, as well as in other proximity environments, like parking.
Hands-free ticketing serves the need for both convenience and throughput of masses. And, in combination with Secure UHF technology, it is the most cost-efficient solution to simultaneously protect the identity and data of passengers.
Virtually limitless freedom in form factors
Secure UHF can be used in all kinds of different contactless media form factors, e.g. cards, stickers, fobs, car windscreen tags etc. The secure UHF chip can even be soldered onto existing CBs for future purposes (e.g. mobile). Transport operators will be able to securely collect ticket revenues and protect all assets while significantly reducing costs.
Benefits of hands-free ticketing with secure UHF
Completely hands-free ticketing (read-out up to 8m)
Ultra-fast transaction and read-out speeds to handle any rush-hour traffic
Easy to implement in existing account-based systems
No battery maintenance, costs, or problems with product lifetime or recycling
Highest potential in terms of user-friendliness and acceptance: no need to purchase individual tickets, no problems with vending machines, no knowledge of tariffs required, no barriers, no hassle
New opportunities for multi-purpose applications in transportation and especially for intermodal transport when applied for e.g. gateways of parking garages
Basis for usage-oriented fares increasing consumer appeal

Porcelain veneers are an ideal solution for chipped, uneven, or discoloured teeth. The teeth are prepared by removing a small amount of the front surface of the tooth (about 0.3 to 0.5 mm — the thickness of a fingernail) to allow space for the porcelain. A thin sliver of porcelain or composite resin is then permanently cemented to the front teeth. Two or three visits to your clinician will be necessary. An appointment typically takes from one to two hours.
Good dental hygiene will extend the life of your veneers, however they do require extra care to ensure they are not damaged by hard foods. In some cases, they may require protection from excessive grinding.
Veneers can almost fix anything, whether you have a crooked smile, misshapen teeth or just generally aesthetically unappealing teeth. Using veneers to fix these problems is a quick and very effective dental solution.
Veneers are routinely used to fix:
There are a multitude of reasons why veneers are an amazing cosmetic option if you're dissatisfied with your teeth.
Veneers are extremely durable, with quality veneers lasting over a decade, sometimes two or three decades, and remain virtually unchanged the entire time.
The cost of veneers differs from patient to patient. We recommend getting in touch to discuss pricing and to be able to give you an exact price.
Maven Dental Group also offers affordable payment options - 18 Months Interest Free* dental finance on dental procedures $600 and over (at participating practices).

Holiday hardware: Two guys from Boulder's iconic McGuckin store share tools and tales
If it plugs in, sparkles, slides on snow or lights on fire — or if it drills, thrills, or rotates on solar power — chances are good that Ran Ransom or Bruce Ramp has sold it to someone.
Together, Ransom, 69, and Ramp, 63, are hardware guys with a combined 83 years of experience (43 for Ransom, 40 for Ramp) at McGuckin Hardware, the iconic Boulder store that sells everything from flats of pansies to propane, plumbing supplies to pitchforks. Ransom is an assistant store manager; Ramp is the buyer for seasonal, outdoor living and specialty items. Both still spend time on the selling floor.
We sat down with the pair recently for a broad-ranging conversation.

Taming the PTC elephantWritten by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-Chief
For some elements of the U.S. government—in particular, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) processes, which present a serious barrier to finishing PTC wayside antenna installation—PTC is the elephant in the room, the looming big issue that is either being ignored or going unaddressed.
For the railroads, which are pushing ahead on an unfunded mandate whose deadline they probably won't be able to meet due to circumstances largely beyond their control, PTC, as Railway Age Engineering Editor Mischa Wanek-Libman describes it, is "the elephant the industry is trying to tame."
CN, for example, reports it "is taking steps to ensure implementation of PTC, including working with other Class I railroads to satisfy the requirements for U.S. network interoperability." The Federal Railroad Administration approved the railroad's PTC Implementation Plan, submitted in April 2010. But 28 months later, in August 2012, an FRA report to Congress on PTC implementation progress said that most railroads would be unable to meet the deadline. In August 2013, legislation was introduced in the Senate that would delay PTC implementation by five years to the end of 2020. In the same month, the U.S. Government Accountability Office published a report recommending that Congress give the FRA authority to extend the deadline for individual carriers on a case-by-case basis.
What's happened since then? Not much, and the regulatory delays get worse. In May 2013, the FCC began to review the potential impacts that installing tens of thousands of required PTC wayside radio antenna poles could have on Native American historic and cultural artifacts. Necessary, industry-recommended changes to antenna installation procedures—specifically, dealing with permits in volume, rather than case-by-case—are still in political limbo. In its March 2014 PTC status update to the FRA, the Association of American Railroads reported that "it is clear that the railroad industry will not be able to install interoperable PTC on the entire U.S. network by the deadline."
In effect, the railroads' brisk, entirely self-funded march toward an interoperable PTC system now looks more like a slog through waist-deep muck.
CN estimates its total PTC implementation costs at $335 million for the U.S. portion of its network. That's huge, except when compared to railroads like Union Pacific and CSX. CSX's total PTC cost, for example, will be around $1.7 billion for equipping 3,600 locomotives and installing equipment at 6,400 wayside locations on 15,000 track-miles—75% of its network. Around 1,000 CSX employees are working solely on PTC, but thousands more require training on the new technology.
BNSF Railway Assistant Vice President Signal Jim LeVere says, "We've been making tremendous progress on the infrastructure side all across BNSF." The railroad's non-vital overlay PTC system is under construction across 9,400 miles of BNSF's network in 21 states. A "greenfielding" approach that involves "removing outmoded relay-based control points (interlockings, etc.) and overlaying PTC on modern microprocessor-based technology has worked very well," he adds.
However, "our progress has been slowed down by the FCC processes," says LeVere. "We can't go out to a PTC location and finish an installation in one shot. We're not sure what the final ruling is going to be on the FCC's tribal review process for antennas." But railroaders tend to be optimistic, "can-do" people. "We remain hopeful," says LeVere. "PTC is a good safety system. The technology, and our greenfielding approach to installation, have produced many benefits for renewing our Communications and Signal (C&S) infrastructure. We're determined to get PTC installed."
Not the only game in town
As railroads struggle with this bureaucracy-laden mandate, they have to remember that PTC isn't the only game in town. As LeVere and his C&S colleagues around the industry will tell you, there's a whole lot more going on in C&S than PTC. "We have a strong capital maintenance program," LeVere says. "We're getting close to eliminating what's left of pole lines. We're installing more wayside mechanical defect detectors on many corridors, including our ethanol and crude oil routes. And we're working with the states on hundreds of grade crossing warning systems that need to be upgraded."
BNSF has made a major commitment to upgrading its classification yards, and is in the midst of an initiative to replace outmoded yard process control and automation systems. "Many of our class yard systems are based on 1980s computer technology," LeVere says. "We're working to get them renewed, to make our class yards more fluid and efficient."
The first major BNSF class yard to be upgraded will be Memphis (Tennessee) Yard. Under way or planned are Argentine (Kansas City, BNSF's largest), Galesburg (Illinois), Cherokee (Tulsa, Okla.), Barstow (California), Pasco (Wash.) and Northtown (Minneapolis, Minn.). Hobson (Lincoln, Neb.) was recently returned to its original hump yard configuration. Balmer (Seattle) is under evaluation for upgrading.
In Ohio, Norfolk Southern's Bellevue yard is undergoing a major expansion and transformation. Assistant Vice President Communications and Signals Ed Boyle describes the project as a critical part of mitigating bottlenecks across NS's network. Located midway between Toledo and Cleveland, Bellevue is at the confluence of several major NS east-west and north-south main lines. Many trains are routed between the Lake and Dearborn divisions at Bellevue. Also, numerous intermodal trains operating on NS's Heartland Corridor between Virginia's ports and Chicago pass through there.
Bellevue is essentially being doubled in size to 80 classification tracks, with two hump leads that provide access to the entire yard from either lead by means of a scissor crossover. The hump leads can also work simultaneously, feeding cars independently to their respective sides of the yard. It will be the only one of NS's 12 production yards with dual-humping capability, doubling the average 600 to 650 cars per shift it currently handles, and more than doubling train speed, to 25 mph from 10 mph.
Hardware for the 5.5-mile-long, $160 million project includes 140 powered turnouts, 38.5 miles of additional track, approximately 145 miles of underground cable for the communications and signals system, and 11 control points, plus car retarders, wheel detectors, and distance-to-coupling circuits—all being installed while the yard remains in operation. Bellevue's expansion is being equipped with one master retarder, five group retarders, and 38 skate retarders.
Trainyard Tech LLC, which has upgraded several NS class yards during the past few years with its CLASSMASTER™ technology, is providing Bellevue's process control and automation systems, everything from the hump system to the receiving yard, pullout yard, and blue-flagging equipment.
When completed in early 2015, Bellevue—the biggest construction project on an NS production yard in decades—will be the railroad's largest hump yard and the largest yard in North America where all tracks are humped from one process control system. "Bellevue is located at a 'sweet spot' of increasing train traffic in our Northern Region," says NS Director Terminal Operations John LeStrange. "A big driver of the volume is a drilling boom to extract natural gas from the Marcellus Shale deposit. Steel-making and the automotive industry also are key factors. Strategically, it's right where all the traffic wants to go," based on the computer models NS uses to forecast future traffic flow. Those models show that Bellevue "provides the most efficient route to switch cars for timely delivery to customers," he says.
Another bottleneck on the NS system receiving an upgrade is Randoph Street Interlocking in Roanoke, Va., the only location on the railroad where the Heartland and Crescent Corridors cross. A combination of track expansion and signal work, the project involves building four tangent tracks, each with a controlling signal at each end, and higher-speed turnouts. When completed by year-end, train speeds through this interlocking will double, from 15 mph to 30 mph, effectively doubling capacity. "It's amazing what relieving one bottleneck can do," says Ed Boyle.
Of course, PTC remains a huge undertaking for NS. "We're working full steam ahead on construction," says Boyle. "At roughly 300 locations, we have completed construction on everything—except the antennas. Our biggest concern is getting them installed."
FCC, the railroads are holding up their end of the agreement. What are you waiting for?

Assembly Republicans lift fundraising ban
MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin state Assembly has agreed to lift a ban that had kept most of its members from raising money during the budget period.
The Wisconsin State Journal reported Friday that the Republican-controlled Assembly Organization Committee approved the decision on a 5-3 party line vote on paper ballot Thursday.
Under the new policy, Assembly members, as well as their campaign committees and support committees can raise money anywhere in Wisconsin except in Dane County, unless their district includes that county.
The vote to change the policy, in effect since 2009, was done on a paper ballot circulated by Republican Speaker Robin Vos. The Senate doesn't ban fundraising during the budget period.

The share of American households with guns has declined over the past four decades, a national survey shows, with some of the most surprising drops in the South and the Western mountain states, where guns are deeply embedded in the culture.
The gun ownership rate has fallen across a broad cross section of households since the early 1970s, according to data from the General Social Survey, a public opinion survey conducted every two years that asks a sample of American adults if they have guns at home, among other questions.
The rate has dropped in cities large and small, in suburbs and rural areas and in all regions of the country. It has fallen among households with children, and among those without. It has declined for households that say they are very happy, and for those that say they are not. It is down among churchgoers and those who never sit in pews.
The household gun ownership rate has fallen from an average of 50 percent in the 1970s to 49 percent in the 1980s, 43 percent in the 1990s and 35 percent in the 2000s, according to the survey data, analyzed by The New York Times.

Jury finds Houston man not guilty in fatal drug sting
A Houston man charged in a deadly shootout with federal agents after a botched drug sting was found not guilty of capital murder late Wednesday.
Alfredo Gomez, 21, was facing life in prison had he been convicted.
"We said all along that Alfredo Gomez was not there, and the jury agreed that there were too many inconsistencies in the co-defendants' statements," defense attorney Dan Gerson said. "We said from the beginning that this was a frame-up."
After the verdict, prosecutors maintained their belief that Gomez was guilty.
"I obviously thought he was guilty, or I wouldn't have tried it," said Assistant Harris County District Attorney Shannon Davis. He said jurors did not trust the testimony of the other suspects, all of whom are facing life in prison on charges of capital murder.
Prosecutors had argued Gomez escaped the chaotic gunbattle that ended with the death of DEA informant Lawrence Chapa, but later was implicated by statements from the four men who were caught at the scene about 2 p.m. on Nov. 21, 2011.
Davis noted that no DNA, fingerprints or videotape linked Gomez to the bloody shootout.
"And with the two-year delay we had problems with witnesses' memories and there were concerns about retaliation," Davis said. "We knew it was going to be an uphill battle."
Chapa, 53, was driving a tractor-trailer loaded with marijuana from the border to the site of the sale, while being followed by Drug Enforcement Administration agents planning to arrest the buyers. The 18-wheeler was stopped in northwest Harris County by three sport utility vehicles full of Zetas cartel gunmen who opened fire, according to investigators.
Gerson said the four other men, who were caught at the scene, decided while they were in a holding cell together to implicate Gomez in an attempt to cut a deal. Gomez was arrested two weeks later and faced an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole if he had been convicted.
Testimony showed that Chapa died after being shot eight times by at least two different gunmen.
After the shooting started, police cars full of officers swarmed the scene, arresting Fernando Tavera, 21, Eric Deluna, 25, Rolando Resendiz, 30, and Ricardo Ramirez, 37.
Ramirez pleaded guilty to murder on the eve of his trial in January. He also was charged with capital murder, but agreed to the deal because the lesser charge of murder means he will be eligible for parole in 30 years.
Gomez's trial, in visiting Judge Terry Flenniken's court, began last week.

Towards A Clean Energy Future
In order to realize economic and health care benefits for the Bronx and all of New York City, we must support strategic partnerships created to give small businesses owners and homeowners a voice in the debate over our energy future.
[Urban Issues: Comment]
With each passing day it becomes clear that New York is going to need unprecedented leadership to steer us through our worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Championing progressive tax relief for homeowners and small business owners alone will not suffice. A new economy must be visualized in order to spur economic development, investment and creation of much-needed jobs, – one that embraces bold and new technologies, while promoting fairness and opportunity. The first step toward a new economic renaissance is making an unbreakable commitment to a clean energy future.
Our nation's next great economic expansion will be led by those committed to a clean energy future. Similar to the Internet boom of the 1990's, emerging and existing clean energy technologies are a proven economic engine - one that generates revenue for businesses and releases homeowners from the grasp of sky-high energy bills. A clean energy future will create a growing economy that will produce jobs for those in and just entering the workforce, while reducing greenhouse gases and the air pollution which has placed so many of our neighborhoods children at risk for asthma.
My office has taken an aggressive stance to elevate energy and environmental issues to the forefront of a new, progressive urban agenda. As Bronx Borough President, I created the Bronx Initiative for Energy and Environment which supports construction of green roofs, green school yards, and increased energy efficiency. My work on the Hunts Point Monitoring Committee has provided the much-needed oversight and upgrades for the wastewater treatment plant, and my office has worked tirelessly to ensure Bronx residents have access to open spaces and waterfronts.
Despite our best efforts and intentions here in the Bronx, energy policy emanating out of Albany and Washington, D.C., continues to place the economic health of our neighborhoods and businesses at risk. A continued reliance on dirty energy sources and opposition to operating licenses for existing sources of clean energy will result in a historic rise in energy costs that will leave many small businesses in a catch 22 – forced to decide between paying escalating energy bills or expanding their businesses to create much-needed jobs.
In order to realize economic and health care benefits for the Bronx and all of New York City, we must support strategic partnerships created to give small businesses owners and homeowners a voice in the debate over our energy future. One such organization, the Hispanic Energy Coalition, has brought together respected institutions such as the New York Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the League of United Latin American Citizens, and the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, to educate and initiate policy reforms on the energy and environmental issues affecting our community. By supporting the important work of the Hispanic Energy Coalition and other clean energy non-profits, we can begin to lay a foundation that will ensure a strong economy.
Energy and environmental issues extend into almost every sector of our daily lives. The most noticeable are our ever-increasing monthly energy bills, but higher energy costs are also resulting in dramatically higher corn, milk and bread prices at the grocery store.
We must be mindful of just how great of an impact high energy costs have on our daily lives. It is only when we begin to view energy and environment issues as economic, education and health care issues will we understand how vital it is for us to embrace a clean, green energy future.
Adolfo Carrion is the Bronx's 12th chief executive since municipal incorporation in 1898.

Young girls escape attempted abduction in Pontiac
Police are still searching for the suspect
