Give Peace a Chance: Nonviolence could be a Powerful Weapon.

What Putin is doing in Ukraine is terrible beyond words, but is fighting back a good option?
How many people will die? How much nature and historical heritage will be destroyed? How much pollution, including nuclear, will be produced? Is it worth it?
I don't have the answers for this, but whenever I have no answers, whenever I don't know enough, I try to stick to my principles as tightly as I can: killing is bad, for whatever reasons you do it.
The Buddha said, "In this world hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law, ancient and inexhaustible." (Dhammapada 1)
War for me is just poor people killing other poor people for the political and economic interests of those at the top. I don't trust the media much; they are sensationalist and superficial. All I can do is try to think with my own head and reject the obvious old answer: they attacked us and we must strike back. I know, this reaction is deeply ingrained in human nature, but I believe we should go beyond that and find new (but perhaps not so new) ways of reacting to violence and injustice.
First of all, we should try and prevent wars by addressing the problems that may lead to them. Perhaps Hitler would have never come to power if the winning nations after World War I had not humiliated Germany with huge war reparations. But this, unfortunately, hardly ever happens.
I know many people may think that if they are hit by someone, they should strike back. Well, I believe that should be the last resort—if at all possible we should talk first, try to understand, and see whether there may be any solutions. Perhaps giving something away, perhaps just running away…only if all this does not work, then we may be forced to strike back, but with no hatred, just as a strategy of self-defense.
Even toward an army attacking a country, there might be other reactions that are nonviolent.
Have you ever heard of what happened when the Germans attacked Denmark at the beginning of World War II? A story little told that I find inspiring. The Danish soldiers tried to fight back, 16 of them died, and then the government, in agreement with King Christian X, realizing the futility of trying to stop the Germans, just surrendered.
Because they surrendered and expressed their will to collaborate, the death toll was minimum and the government managed to find an agreement with the Nazis that allowed Denmark to proceed with normal life of a sort. However, the German troops stationed in Denmark were treated with coldness, when possible boycotted, and an underground resistance movement developed. In this way, also, hundreds of Danish Jews managed to escape the German concentration camps.
At the end of the war, only about 3,000 Danes lost their lives in Denmark, the lowest figure among the countries involved in the war. Their decision not to use violent means had pretty good results.
In a similar way, using nonviolent means and civil disobedience Gandhi in India obtained independence from England, Martin Luther King Jr. in the United States helped to end discrimination against African Americans, and Mandela in South Africa achieved national reconciliation, refusing to fight against the white people who had made the black majority suffer so much. The first two paid with their lives for what they did, but they never killed anybody. To me, these are amongst the greatest men who have lived on this planet.
There is a Buddhist story I love. It's about an anger-eating demon who entered the king's palace by force while the latter was away, and placed himself on the throne. He was terribly ugly and stinky, so the guards started threatening and swearing angrily at him in their effort to get rid of him. However, at every threat and swearword, the demon was growing, becoming uglier and more stinky. The more abuse he received, the bigger he became until his body grew to occupy the whole throne room.
At that point, the king returned, and as he was a wise king, he understood the situation at once. He stopped his guards and welcomed the demon, proffering kind words, inviting him to tasty food and refreshing drinks. At that point, the demon stopped growing and began shrinking, and the more kindness he received, the smaller he became. After a while, he had reached his original size, but the king, and at that point everybody else in the court, went on speaking nice words and treating him kindly. The demon kept shrinking until he disappeared altogether! (For a version of this story, see Ajahn Brahm's book Opening the Door of Your Heart.)
Can we be kind to our enemies? Jesus did, Nelson Mandela did, and the hippies put flowers into the guns of the National Guard.
War and violence are bad; there are other ways. And we must also not forget that nationalism is a construct. People kill and die for "their" land, a piece of earth that, because of historical reasons, ended up being part of their country. Borders have kept moving throughout history, and so have languages and cultures. For me, the earth belongs to everyone, and before being American, Italian, or Russian, we are human beings, citizens of this world.
As I said, I don't have any definite answers, but I know that nonviolence could be a powerful weapon, not easy to manage, perhaps, but I think it should at least be tried.
As John Lennon sang, "Give peace a chance."
"War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it."

The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Space DVD
March 1, 2017 May 25, 2019 ellen
I'm a huge fan of The Cat in the Hat. I have several books and, I believe, all of the movies. What I really love about The Cat in the Hat is that it's educational and it teaches you a lesson when you don't really realize that's what happening. The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Space is the latest in the series and one you'll want to watch. Product was provided. This post contains affiliate links, and I will receive compensation if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.
The Cat in the Hat joins Nick and Sally who are exploring the backyard when something extraordinary finds them a flying robotic dog! The robot lands and does some exploring of his own, gulping up rock samples and photographing the Cat, Nick, Sally, and Fish before blasting off back into space!
What was that thing? Where did it come from? Where is it going? The Cat in the Hat fires up his Space-ama-racer and whisks Nick, Sally, and Fish off on a cosmic adventure in search of the robot. Their journey takes them straight to the Space Station where Astronaut Audrey introduces the gang to Space Rover her dog-like robot who is helping her explore the solar system. But no sooner is Rover refueled, recharged and relaunched into space when all of a sudden a beeping from the mission control room alerts them to a problem. Turns out, Rover has become tangled in some kind of space junk! The Cat in the Hat comes to the rescue, launching Operation Rover Repair. Now The Cat, Nick, Sally, and Fish are off on a cosmic mission of their own to find Rover!
Together, they survive a dust storm on the surface of Mars, rocket through an asteroid belt, and then narrowly escape being sucked into Jupiter by its huge gravitational pull! Ultimately, they hitch a ride on a comet that leads them all safely back to the Space Station, along with plenty of space samples, and stories and even a small souvenir that follows The Cat in the Hat and our crew back to Earth!
The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That is an animated series from PBS Kids that promotes children's literacy in math and science. The series on PBS Kids is aimed toward preschool aged children and features the voice of Martin Short as The Cat in the Hat. In this program, The Cat in the Hat leads Nick and Sally (and Fish) through space where they learn all sorts of information about space. Not only do kids learn about space, but they learn about cooperation and friendship as they watch Nick and Sally tackle obstacles along the way. Definitely a great addition for fans of Dr. Seuss.

The Ojibwa pictograph for cloud is more elaborate, Fig. 183, reported in Schoolcraft, I, pl. 58. It is composed of the sign for sky, to which that for clouds is added, the latter being reversed as compared with the Moqui etchings, and picturesquely hanging from the sky.
The gesture sign for rain is described and illustrated on page 344. The pictograph, Fig. 184, reported as found in New Mexico by Lieutenant Simpson (Ex. Doc. No. 64, Thirty-first Congress, first session, 1850, pl. 9) is said to represent Montezuma's adjutants sounding a blast to him for rain. The small character inside the curve which represents the sky, corresponds with the gesturing hand. The Moqui etching (Gilbert MS.) for rain, i.e., a cloud from which the drops are falling, is given in Fig. 185.
Figs. 188 and 189 also represent lightning, taken by Mr. W.H. Jackson, photographer of the late U.S. Geolog. and Geog. Survey, from the decorated walls of an estufa in the Pueblo de Jemez, New Mexico. The former is blunt, for harmless, and the latter terminating in an arrow or spear point, for destructive or fatal, lightning.
The ceremony is indicated by the head of an albino buffalo. A more graphic portraiture of the conception of voice is in Fig. 191, representing an antelope and the whistling sound produced by the animal on being surprised or alarmed. This is taken from MS. drawing book of an Indian prisoner at Saint Augustine, Fla., now in the Smithsonian Institution, No. 30664.
Fig. 192 is the exhibition of wrestling for a turkey, the point of interest in the present connection being the lines from the mouth to the objects of conversation. It is taken from the above-mentioned MS. drawing book. The wrestlers, according to the foot prints, had evidently come together, when, meeting the returning hunter, who is wrapped in his blanket with only one foot protruding, they separated and threw off their blankets, leggings, and moccasins, both endeavoring to win the turkey, which lies between them and the donor.
In Fig. 193, taken from the same MS. drawing book, the conversation is about the lassoing, shooting, and final killing of a buffalo which has wandered to a camp. The dotted lines indicate footprints. The Indian drawn under the buffalo having secured the animal by the fore feet, so informs his companions, as indicated by the line drawn from his mouth to the object mentioned; the left-hand figure, having also secured the buffalo by the horns, gives his nearest comrade an opportunity to strike it with an ax, which he no doubt announces that he will do, as the line from his mouth to the head of the animal suggests. The Indian in the upper left-hand corner is told by a squaw to take an arrow and join his companions, when he turns his head to inform her that he has one already, which fact he demonstrates by holding up the weapon.
Fig. 195 is one of Landa's characters, found in Rel. des choses de Yucatan, p. 316, and suggests one of the gestures for talk and more especially that for sing, in which the extended and separated fingers are passed forward and slightly downward from the mouth—"many voices." Although the last opinion about the bishop is unfavorable to the authenticity of his work, yet even if it were prepared by a Maya, under his supervision, the latter would probably have given him some genuine native conceptions, and among them gestures would be likely to occur.

Because we hear this story each Eastertide, we know this image well; yet do we listen fully to the description of the relationship between the shepherd and his sheep? And do we notice that once the shepherd leads his sheep into the fold, he then leads them out again?
In Jesus' day, it was the habit of a good rabbi to explore familiar scripture to listen for new juxtapositions and orientations. This re-working of a familiar message asks the faithful to remain awake, to sustain fidelity, to live a hope-filled and loving life that will grow in Christ. We return to Jesus' words.
We do not know the hour or day of the winnowing fork and so we are to stand ready like those who exited slavery in the great exodus with Moses (Exodus). We are to take unleavened bread and remember that we are marked with the sign of thau (Ezekiel 9:4) and respond to the shepherd's call each time we hear his voice. In this way, we prepare to recognize the shepherd to follow him into the safety of the sheepfold . . . so that we may also follow him back through the gate and into the world.
When we compare different translations of John 10, we have a better understanding of our unique relationship with Christ as the leader who calls us into the sheepfold, so that he might lead us out into the world.
Adapted from a reflection written on August 30, 2007.


It's the time we wait for all fall, first ice! We are back in Ely Minnesota, because they always seem to have the coldest temps, which is of course conducive to making ice. We are of course making all of our moves carefully, as we have not been out on this lake yet. Spud bars, throw ropes, float suits, and having many people around incase someone goes through - all of these things are a necessity when heading out, especially early on in the season. We are pleased to find 4 to 6 inches of good clear ice everywhere we need to fish, but every lake is different, so don't take this to mean all lakes are ready to ice fish.
Just because the temps are dropping across the midwest, doesn't mean you need to wait for ice to go fishing. As long as the boat ramps don't get too frozen, you can get out on Lake Michigan to open water fish for lake trout and brown trout. Captain Caleb Zorn is our guide, and he knows the ins and outs of what can sometimes be a finicky bite. We are out for 2 days, because the first day was very slow. We were rewarded on the second day because the weather was amazing, and the bite was absolutely on fire. Jigging Kastmasters & Google Eye jigs was an absolute blast - there is now way to describe how these fish fight. They take you all over the place, and everyone in the boat helps when somebody's got a fish on.
We're back on the ice with this week, and we're in northern Wisconsin fishing with Charter Captain Josh Teigen. Josh grew up fishing in the Iron River Wisconsin area, and knows many of the lakes very well. One the the best things about this area is the sheer number of lakes that there is to choose from. Having all these options is great because you can choose a lake depending on what species you want to target, or in our case, to get out of the wind in a comfortable Bay to jig.
We're tip-up fishing, setting our Beaver Dam's over the weeds targeting pike and walleye. We are also jigging, looking for crappie, perch or bluegill. Panfish are usually in deeper water, schooling together, this time of year.
It's always exciting to visit Vilas County because there are so many lakes to choose from. Our long-time buddy and guide Rob Manthei has us on a lake that has just about everything in it. We're jigging for walleyes and panfish, and have Beaver Dams set up for pike, bass and also walleye.
Our last show of the year takes us to Lake Winnibigosh (officially "Winnibigoshish") or Lake Winnie. Whatever you call it, we know that the fishing has been getting better and better as the years go on. Lake Winnibigosh was well known in the 90's for its amazing perch population, and eventually suffered because of the high bag limits. Minnesota DNR implemented new regulations, and the lake has bounced back wonderfully.
We're being guided by Lance Stanley, who has fished this area for his whole life. Lance has us in 9-14 feet of water, on a ledge. We're jigging for perch, and Pete Maina set up some Beaver Dams for pike and walleye too. We catch just about everything on our jig rods, which we didn't expect. We found that switching to a larger Kastmaster, we were able to weed out the smaller perch.


The alignment of competence needs with resources improves organisational efficiency and increases employee satisfaction – and makes proactive change management easier.
The expertise of C&Q Systems stems from the development of anticipation of competence needs management since 1996. The passion to understand competence has also produced scientific results in the form of a Doctoral Thesis (Taina Hanhinen: Working Life Skills and Knowledge: Qualification Classification System. 2010).
The C&Q approach combines two core characteristics of a successful organisation: employee skills and knowledge (Competence) and future organizational competence needs (Qualifications).
The versatility of C&Q software meets this need. Over 4,000 public and private organisations have used the software to survey their competence needs, which has helped them greatly in the planning of human resources.
The core of the C&Q software is a dynamic competence classification system that is based on actual working life. It provides a quick and easy way to describe competence profiles in complex professional roles. The method has already been used to assess the competence of over 4,000 people against the goals of their organisation.
Our expert services can help you to execute competence-related projects in your organisation and to gain strategic benefits from the C&Q software.
C&Q is an easy tool for talent management. C&Q software solutions serve all kinds of organisations and networks of all sizes – from the diverse working environments in the public sector to international corporations.
Our expert services can help you to execute competence-related projects in your organisation, ranging from daily allocation of resources to the creation of a competence strategy. This way you can find more efficient ways to utilise the existing resources in your organisation and to complement them when necessar.

NPSL Additions Offer Cup/Derby Opportunities
Posted on November 24, 2013 by Scott D. Ludwig — 1 Comment
The aggressive expansion of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) over the past couple years has created opportunities around the country for true derby matches and regional cup competitions. A potential evolving partnership with the North American Soccer League (NASL) has already seen two reserves sides join the NPSL. Atlanta Silverbacks and Minnesota United FC have recently been announced as competitors for the 2014 season.
Minnesota United FC Reserves have declared they will compete at the new club training grounds at Bielenberg Sports Complex in Woodbury. With existing NPSL clubs in Brooklyn Park (Minnesota TwinStars FC) and Eau Claire Aris FC just across the state border, there are now three clubs within 104 miles (see map) of each other.
The three Twin Cities-area clubs are part of the NPSL Central Conference, which includes Madison 56ers SC, Milwaukee Bavarian SC, Quad City Eagles FC and expansion-side FC Bordo St. Louis. It is one of many regional conferences around a four-region national league. Each regular season is followed by region playoffs and a national championship between four region champions. In 2013, RVA Football Club were the national champion capping an undefeated 10-2-0 season.
A Minnesota TwinStars FC-Minnesota United FC Reserves matchup creates a Twin Cities Derby, with the west metro TwinStars FC presently calling the Prairie Seeds Academy pitch home. Woodbury-based United FC Reserves will also have a short 79-mile distance to travel as Eau Claire Aris FC compete at Bollinger Fields on the campus of UW-Eau Claire.
This "triangle" of clubs could possible create an opportunity for a cup competition, similar to the Cascadia Cup between Portland, Seattle and Vancouver of MLS. Currently there is one cup-style competition, the Rust Belt Derby, between NPSL clubs AFC Cleveland, Detroit City FC and FC Buffalo.
My idea? I-94 Cup With all three teams located along the I-94 highway this competition could help build a rivalry, potential media and fan interest.
Have an idea for the competition name? Post it in the comments section here or go to the NPSL Google+ Page to discuss!

Q: Get numbers, a given number of characters after a phrase, from HTML Basically, I've opened an HTML file in perl, and wrote this line:
if(INFILE =~ \$txt_TeamNumber\) {
    $teamNumber = \$txt_TeamNumber\
}

and I need to get the txt_TeamNumber, go 21 spaces forward, and get the next 1-5 numbers. Here is the part of the HTML file I'm trying to extract info from:
Team Number:

                    <input name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txt_TeamNumber" type="text" value="186" maxlength="5" readonly="readonly" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_txt_TeamNumber" disabled="disabled" tabindex="1" class="aspNetDisabled" style="width:53px;">

A: This is a very good example for benefits of using ready parsers.
One of the standard modules for parsing HTML is HTML::TreeBuilder.  Its effectiveness is to a good extent based on its good use of HTML::Element so always have that page ready for reference.
The question doesn't say where HTML comes from. For testing I put it in a file, wrapped with needed tags, and load it from that file. I expect it to  come from internet, please change accordingly.
use warnings;
use strict;

use Path::Tiny;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;

my $file = "snippet.html";
my $html = path($file)->slurp;  # or open and slurp by hand

my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content($html);

my @nodes = $tree->look_down(_tag => 'input');

foreach my $node (@nodes) {
    my $val = $node->look_down('name', qr/\$txt_TeamNumber/)->attr('value');
    print "'value': $val\n";
}

This prints the line: 'value': 186.   Note that we never have to parse anything at all.
I assume that the 'name' attribute is identified by literal $txt_TeamNumber, thus $ is escaped.
The code uses the excellent Path::Tiny to slurp the file. If there are issues with installing a module just read the file by hand into a string (if it does come from a file and not from internet).
See docs and abundant other examples for the full utility of the HTML parsing modules used above.  There are of course other ways and approaches, made ready for use by yet other good modules. Please search for the right tool.
I strongly suggest to stay clear of any idea to parse HTML (or anything similar) with regex.

A: Watch for variable scoping. You should be able to get it with a simple regexp capture:
if(INFILE =~ /$txt_TeamNumber/) {
    $teamNumber = /$txt_TeamNumber/
    ($value) = /$txt_TeamNumber.*?value="(.*?)"/
}

Draft Roads Regulation 2018 – Tunnels
Home / Draft Roads Regulation 2018 – Tunnels
Reply from Transport for NSW
"Your comments have been taken into consideration, along with other submissions received during the public consultation, in finalising the draft Roads Regulation 2018. The proposed clause in question (clause 41) has been removed from the draft Regulation and current provisions about regulating access to tunnels by signage remain unchanged from the current regime."
To: Transport for NSW
Draft Roads Regulation 2018
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Draft Roads Regulation 2018. Bicycle NSW has been the peak bicycle advocacy group in NSW for over forty years, and has over 30 affiliated local Bicycle User Groups throughout NSW.
We wish to comment specifically on Clause 42, which states:
41 Pedestrians and cyclists prohibited in tunnels
(1) A pedestrian must not travel in a tunnel.
Maximum penalty: 30 penalty units.
(2) A person must not ride a bicycle, animal or animal-drawn vehicle in a tunnel.
While we agree that some tunnels are unsuitable for bicycle riders, we cannot agree with a blanket ban on cycling in tunnels. There is no definition of what constitutes a "tunnel". Although Clause 49 allows exemptions, there are none listed in the Draft.
There are a number of tunnels which are presently used quite safely by bicycle riders. In some of the following examples, riding is encouraged by marking the shoulder as suitable for riding with a PS2 cycle symbol:
M1, Stotts Creek
M1, St Helena Tunnel
A1, Pine Creek
M2, Epping
General Holmes Drive, Mascot
Undoubtedly, there are further examples through NSW.
Rather than a blanket ban on riding in tunnels, this Clause should be reversed in its operation so as to refer to a list of specific tunnels where riding is prohibited. This list would be in (say) Schedule 3, and include tunnels such as Sydney Harbour Tunnel, Eastern Distributer Tunnel, Cross City Tunnel, and M5 Tunnel. The link between riding a bicycle and riding an animal needs to be removed.
The present Clause 41 is poorly drafted, and is not acceptable without major change. Should you wish to discuss these matters further, please contact Bicycle NSW.

As Murphy talks to Trump, CT senators optimistic on gun legislation
Hour Insider
More Insider Stories
By Dan Freedman Aug. 13, 2019
U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy has spoken to President Donald Trump about possible legislation involving background checks for gun purchasers.
Photo: Tyler Sizemore / Hearst Connecticut Media
WASHINGTON - Connecticut's Democratic senators are expressing guarded optimism on new gun legislation in the aftermath of mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, with Sen. Chris Murphy talking to President Donald Trump on Tuesday in a phone call that Trump described as "a very good conversation."
Murphy, who along with Sen. Richard Blumenthal has carved out a leading position on guns among Senate Democrats, talked to Trump about a path to reviving the 2013 background-checks bill that stalled in the Senate just four months after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, according to the New York Times.
Murphy won national recognition on the gun issue in 2016 after holding the Senate floor for nearly 15 hours to demand votes on legislation that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had refused to bring up. McConnell ultimately scheduled the votes, but they resulted in defeat for Murphy and the Democrats.
How much times have changed in three years is an open question. The House, now under Democratic control, passed two gun bills in February. All of Connecticut's five Democratic House members voted in favor of them.
In the Senate, however, McConnell remains in charge. With the National Rifle Association still a potent GOP backer, despite internal personnel and financial problems, McConnell had shown no appetite for bringing the House bills to the floor.
But all that may be changing in the aftermath of the horrific El Paso and Dayton mass shootings earlier this month, which left a total of 31 dead. McConnell has said the two House-passed bills will be "front and center" when the Senate reconvenes after its summer break.
The first expands background checks to most private gun sales, including those at gun shows. Under current law, only federally licensed gun dealers are obligated to do checks on all sales. The second, introduced in the Senate by Blumenthal, would extend the deadline for the FBI to complete checks from three days to 10.
"Look, it's very simple: There is nobody more pro-Second Amendment than Donald Trump, but I don't want guns in the hands of a lunatic or a maniac," Trump told reporters Tuesday.
Trump also said Wednesday he believes McConnell "wants to do something," as do many Republicans. But he added without further explanation: "I don't know, frankly, that the Democrats will get us there."
In an interview, Blumenthal said that unlike the aftermath of Sandy Hook in which expanded background checks stalled in the Senate and never got considered in the House, things may be different now.
"But that's no guarantee there will be real and effective action," he said. "The American public is coming to realize that enough is enough." Taking action on guns is "now becoming part of the American consciousness."
Jeremy Stein, executive director of CT Against Gun Violence, said that although he sees Connecticut as a role model for state action on guns, it is not impervious to guns easily trafficked from other states with weaker gun laws.
"You're only as safe as your surrounding states," he said, pointing to New Hampshire and Maine. "Get with the program, New England."
The 2018 election brought victory to Democrats in the House in part because of the sharp contrast on gun legislation. Both Blumenthal and Murphy have cited these victories in saying that unlike the past when Democrats in swing districts shoved the gun issue to the side, Democrats in all corners of the nation are embracing new limits.
But the path to enactment of new gun laws remains fraught with political uncertainty and ambiguity. Blumenthal said he is wary of potentially watered-down legislation, enough to please the GOP base and the National Rifle Association but not enough, in his estimation, to be truly effective. Any hint of caving in to Republicans risks further alienation of the party's already discontented left wing.
Republicans also have their base to consider. NRA members and staunch Second-Amendment believers constitute a significant part of the GOP coalition. Trump has insisted they will yield to him and his self-promoted instincts. But much like Democrats in reverse, Republicans also are worried about getting bamboozled - and resulting negative fallout at the polls.
Unsurprisingly, the NRA is dead set against both measures. The Newtown-based National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade group representing the firearms industry, is skeptical of the impact on licensed gun dealers who would have to perform background checks for private transactions.
"We have concerns for our retailers," said NSSF spokesman Mark Oliva. "It sounds great in theory but there are a lot of question marks."
The spate of gun laws passed by the Connecticut legislature in the wake of the Newtown mass shooting includes a universal background-check requirement for all guns purchases within the state.
Connecticut also requires permits for private gun transactions, whether or not they take place at gun shows.
There is no data immediately available on its effectiveness. But Connecticut's gun homicide rate dropped significantly in the wake of the post-Sandy-Hook legislation - though the exact percentage remains in dispute. Connecticut is now among the top five in the nation for lowest per capita rate of gun murders.
The expanded background-check proposal fell six votes short in the Senate in 2013 - a time when the Senate was in Democratic hands. Democratic senators from Red states such as North Dakota combined with Republicans to deprive its supporters of the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.
It remains to be seen how a similar would turn out.
"We've seen this movie, but now hopefully we can break the log jam and move forward," Blumenthal said. "If we take common sense steps, gun owners will be assured we are savings lives without sacrificing gun rights."

Persecution: Priests' murders rattle Mexican city gripped by violence
Christopher Sherman
POZA RICA, Mexico (AP) -- In this eastern Mexican oil town already weary of rising gangland violence and extortion, the abduction and murder of two priests this week sank many residents only deeper into despair.
The killings in Poza Rica, in the troubled Gulf state of Veracruz, also came at a moment of heightened tension between the Roman Catholic Church and Mexico's government.
Church leaders are increasingly frustrated by authorities' inability to protect their priests under President Enrique Pena Nieto's administration, and the church is openly opposing his proposal to legalize gay marriage by encouraging the faithful to join demonstrations around the country.
"This, in combination with the recent protests of gay marriage coordinated by the church, I think we're seeing a new low point in the relationship between the church and the PRI," said Andrew Chesnut, chairman of Catholic studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, referring to Pena Nieto's ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party. "I think the overarching picture is that ... the open-season on priests has just proliferated with the intensification of the drug war."
When Alejo Nabor Jimenez and Alfredo Suarez de la Cruz were found bound and shot to death outside Poza Rica on Monday, it brought to 14 the number of priests slain in Mexico since Pena Nieto took office in late 2012. At least 30 have been killed since 2006. And on Thursday church officials made a public plea for the life of yet another priest, who was reportedly kidnapped from his parish residence in the western state of Michoacan and has not been heard from since.
What exactly happened to Nabor and Suarez, and why, remains murky. Investigators have interviewed their driver who was abducted alongside them and escaped, but he has not spoken publicly.
Veracruz state prosecutor Luis Angel Bravo cited robbery as the apparent motive and said the priests had been drinking with their killers before they were abducted. That allegation infuriated the church, which saw it as the latest example of state authorities smearing victims in cursory-at-best investigations.
Bravo dismissed suggestions that a drug cartel may have been involved, although the Zetas and the Jalisco New Generation gangs are battling for control in Veracruz, including in Poza Rica.
Locals have gotten accustomed to hearing about grisly murders. The city of 195,000, has recorded 41 killings in the first eight months of this year - more than three times the toll for all 2015.
Only this time it wasn't faceless strangers assumed to be cartel operatives, they were priests, respected community leaders.
"In the newspaper there are two or three dead every day," said a man who runs a business with a clear view of Our Lady of Fatima church, where the priests lived. "Usually you say, 'if they killed them, it was for a reason.'"
Like many people interviewed by The Associated Press in Poza Rica, the man spoke on condition of anonymity for fear that speaking openly could make him a target for violence.
Ministering to an increasingly terrified flock, people say, Nabor threw open the doors of his church after taking up the post six years ago. Those who knew him say he was close to the congregation, sharing his phone number widely and urging people to drop in at any time.
Even at age 50, the senior priest was fond of encouraging parishioners to "seek me out at any hour you want - for me there is no rest," church secretary Juan Carlos Garcia said.
The 30-year-old Suarez was a fresh face in town. He arrived just a month earlier to replace another priest who died this year of natural causes, and had taken over the church's youth programs.
Friends and parishioners were outraged by the suggestion that the priests had been partying with their killers and expressed deep skepticism about the credibility of the investigation so far.
At Suarez's funeral, Rev. Lorenzo Rivas, who attended seminary with the young priest, said his only vice was volleyball.
"He was not a person who liked alcohol," Rivas said.
Bravo, the prosecutor, later appeared to walk back his comments somewhat, saying he did not mean to criminalize the victims.
Also at the funeral, one woman slipped a note to a reporter urging an investigation of what she called unspecified government persecution of bishops in Veracruz for opposing the gay marriage proposal.
Veracruz has been governed for decades by Pena Nieto's party, and current Gov. Javier Duarte is widely reviled for alleged corruption and for crime rates that have spiked on his watch.
The wary relationship between church and state in Mexico dates back to severe restrictions placed on the church and confiscation of its properties in the 19th and early 20th centuries when the government pushed secularization fearing the church's influence on society. Its political marginalization allowed the PRI to concentrate its political power and hold the presidency uninterrupted for 71 years.
The day the priests disappeared in Poza Rica began normally. Nabor visited other churches before returning to Our Lady of Fatima for the 6:30 p.m. Mass.
As Sunday evening wore on, longtime caretaker Jorge Juarez Bautista said, only Nabor, Suarez and the driver remained. A homeless woman who sometimes helps around the church said she saw several young men and a woman in front of the building around 8:20 p.m., and the woman told her they were waiting for Nabor.
The elder priest was on the phone when Juarez left at 9:30 p.m., wrapping a chain around the gate but not locking it. That was the way Nabor wanted it; he sometimes misplaced his keys, so some time ago he told Juarez to stop locking up.
About an hour later Juarez passed by again and noticed the gate was not how he left it, but he didn't think anything of it since it was not unusual for people to visit even at night.
At 5:30 a.m., Juarez returned to find the gate wide open and the two vehicles parked inside the compound gone. Two hours later another worker arrived and called Nabor's cell phone, but there was no answer. They entered the priest's apartment and found it in disarray: His glasses were lying on the floor in the sacristy, church offerings had been taken and there was blood.
By early afternoon the bodies were located along a little-used road outside town. Nabor had been shot nine times.
Several days later a woman reflected on the killings, sitting inside the business she runs just up the road from the church. Things used to be quiet in Poza Rica, the woman said, and folks never thought twice about going out at night. Now streets are all but empty after dark. She's already shortened her hours, and is thinking of shuttering it for good after just six months in business.
The priests' murders hit hard because of their positions in the community, she said, but everyone fears they could be next: "Really, we're all exposed to having something happen to us."

Meanwhile, The New York Times reported, "Egyptian workers and the country's military chiefs squared off again on Wednesday as strikes and labor protests spread to the Cairo airport and the nation's largest textile factory…" Many of the strikers demand a return to "socialism" when, under former strongman Gamal Abdel Nasser, the state owned all the major industries.

I'm planning on putting together a "community" site for my family, and was hoping for suggestions on software/etc to accomplish this. Both free and paid solutions are fair game.
It would house accounts for each of the family members, in-laws, and if desired, out-laws.
Each of these capabilities would to be made avalialable on multiple levels, including individual, family, and global.
Member1 can post to the global "news" blog, create and post to a personal blog, and create and post to various "family" blogs (eg: one for his household and one for his nearby relatives).
The whole clan should be able to view a single member's calendar, or even an entire family's, but only see the events that are marked as visible to the clan. At the same time, every member should be able to invite other members to their events, etc.
I'm hoping that these can be accomplished through a system like Joomla or PHPNuke via modules/add-ons, but any and all solutions possible on dreamhost are welcome.
I realize the chances of just finding a group of apps that all play nice together is pretty slim, but I am willing/able to make modifications to code where possible to further my goals, or accept the seperation if the added featureset is worth it.
So suggestions I would like include: The best Blog module for PHPNuke; The best Blog module for Joomla; The best open source Blog software period; The best closed source Blog software; etc.
I would suggest looking at PostNuke as a robust CMS undergoing active development and with a vibrant support community.
While I haven't tried to do everything on your list, I can tell you that there are good options for blogs, galleries, furm, Wiki, uploading/downloading files, calendar.
A site with a good collection of the available modules is PostNukeDirectory.
Worth a look, and browse their forum to get a sense of the active community.
I'm in the process of doing something similar myself, but without the requirement for single-sign-on and without an integrated look.
Part of the reason I did this was that I tend to like the capabilities of the specialized modules a whole lot - particularly their look and feel. I think Gallery is great for photo sharing. I think WordPress is a fantastic blog. I like phpBB (though I like vBulletin even more!). MediaWiki is fantastic!
Sometimes I think this problem is like the classic software development question of whether to do Big Upfront Design or Agile Development.
I'm taking the agile approach of starting simple and trying to get the family to use the individual module that they're most interested in using - Gallery. I'm sure this will lead to big integration or migration problems for me in the future, but I suppose I'd rather have that problem than have a big fully integrated system that no one uses.
One "problem" that I have is the great utility provided by the big free hosted service vendors like Blogger, Flikr, and the like. I may like the control I get from having my own WordPress installation, but my old Blogger blog did run faster and more reliably.
Thanks, that's exactly the kind of feedback I'm looking for.
By biggest concern about not having single-signon is that there won't be a nice standard way for family members to "be a community" with each module / app. ie: They each have to have enough tech knowledge to find and join all the family's groups, etc, and each time a new app account is added, everyone else will have to add them too. I'd much rather have that automated and done up front for everything.
I guess worst case is that I write some sort of join script to auto-create accounts in each of the apps.
I was trying to find the same thing a few years ago. I'm now using Nuke-Evolution from http://www.nuke-evolution.com it is based on PHPNuke. But they have added all the security fixes the author forgot to put in. They also have added some improvements into it.
Another site that is part of the same group is http://www.evo-mods.com the have a lot of modules and blocks. With using nuke-evo system you will only need one login ID when you setup a site all packages can integrate into the site.
My one site I have a photo gallery setup it called Gallery2. The site is http://www.henriettany.info. Its still a small site but I can see that a lot of people have visited it.

Q: Posting a textarea with html content fails `No data received` ok guys,
so here's another weird one:
i have the following form:
<form method="post" autocomplete="off">
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Edit article</legend>

        Description<textarea name="txtDescription"><%=article.Description %></textarea>
        Content<textarea name="txtContent"><%=article.Content %></textarea>

    </fieldset>
    <input type="submit" class="fr" value="save changes" />
</form>

there is nothing on the code behind page beside getting the article.
the page loads very fast, under 1 second, with that data in the textarea's.
when i try to submit this form, the page takes forever to load (actualy, it does not load at all, but fails after a few minuets with No data received.
the textarea content is just some html, not large (about 2-4kb each text area)
i have tried adding enctype="multipart/form-data", with no success, the same thing happens.
i have managed to narrow it down to the txtContent textarea, (i removed the description textarea)
and the page fails.
what makes this even worse is that if i open the page in the browser on my server,
it works with no problem, i can post, and it is all working as it should.
if i try to access the page from a remote machine, the post fails.
Anyone has any idea as to what happens here?
EDIT: just to make sure, i have created a simple HTML document with the following in it:
<!DOCTYPE html>

Dashboard

Articles

    <form method="post" action="test.html">
        <fieldset>
            <legend>Edit article</legend>

            Content<textarea name="txtcontent"></textarea>

        </fieldset>
        <input type="submit" class="fr" value="save changes" />
    </form>

this still fails.
EDIT: the test code shown here is the minimal code that is not working.
the actual form is larger, and if i remove the txtcontent textarea from the form,
the form submits with no problem, including the description textarea.
EDIT: Content-Length: 1555 / Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
EDIT: i have uninstalled and reinstalled iis, and re-registered .NET
the problem is still there.

A: A few things to check....
What language are you using, e.g. ASP.NET WebForms, ASP.NET MVC and version?
I can see you are using
<form method="post" autocomplete="off">

In ASP.NET web forms, you would normally declare the form tag as
<form runat="server">

In ASP.NET MVC it would be similar to
@using(Html.BeginForm(......))
{
}

The other issue is you are posting HTML tags, by default ASP.NET will not allow this due to security reasons. Lookup XSS and be sure to understand the risks before disabling this feature.

A: Final note:
i have uninstalled IIS, Re-Installed IIS, Re-Registered .net framework,
and it seems to work fine now.
the reason for the original problem, unknown


The House Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations subcommittee today passed a partisan bill that would seriously undermine our efforts to strengthen public education, protect workers, and move people from welfare to work.
This bill is proof that America's highest priority - improving our schools - remains the Republican Congress's lowest priority. The bill eliminates our effort to hire quality teachers to reduce class size in the early grades. It denies hundreds of thousands of young people access to after-school programs, fails to improve and expand Head Start, cuts the successful America Reads program, cuts educational technology, and eliminates the GEAR UP program, which helps young people prepare early for success in college. It fails to give public schools the resources to succeed, and does nothing to demand accountability for results.
The bill also terminates the successful School-To-Work program and Youth Opportunity Grants, and makes deep cuts in programs that help dislocated workers, provide worker protections, and ensure worker safety. It undermines America's efforts to move people from welfare to work by reneging on our bipartisan commitment to the states on welfare reform. It contains a range of unacceptable provisions, which would prevent the government from effectively protecting the health and safety of the American people.
The subcommittee bill would also underfund public health priorities, including preventive health, mental health and substance abuse, health care access for the poor, and our efforts to reduce racial health disparities and the spread of AIDS worldwide. It would prevent us from continuing to provide important patient protections for American workers, and improving our nation's organ distribution system. It also would threaten our ability to manage key entitlement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.
I warned earlier today that the tax bill sent to me as part of the Republican budget plan would lead to major reductions in key national investments in education and other programs. The subcommittee's bill today is another step in the same misguided direction.
This bill is unacceptable. Our nation's children deserve much better. I sent the Congress a budget for the programs covered by this bill that provided for essential investments in America's needs, and was fully paid for. If this bill were to come to me in its current form, I would veto it. Instead, I urge the House not to pass the subcommittee's bill, and to work on a bipartisan basis with my Administration on acceptable legislation.

The Friday news briefing: An at-a-glance survey of some top stories
Highlights from the news file for Friday, Dec. 29
CANADA 150 NEW YEAR'S SHOW CHANGED DUE TO COLD: Mother Nature drowned out Canada Day on Parliament Hill and now it's frozen out part of the planned New Year's Eve celebrations. Organizers were checking the forecast every hour Friday hoping to see some improvement but the polar vortex that has turned Ottawa into a living icicle shows no sign of lifting until at least Jan. 2. Heritage Minister Melanie Joly said while Canadians were able to manage all the snow that fell around last New Year's Eve to ring in Canada 150, this year the cold was proving to be too much.
OTTAWA TO WORK WITH N.S. ON DESMOND INQUIRY: The federal government says it will work with Nova Scotia on the inquiry into the deaths of Lionel Desmond and his family. Last January, the retired corporal — diagnosed with PTSD and post-concussion disorder after completing two tours in Afghanistan in 2007 — shot his wife, daughter and mother before turning the gun on himself. Veterans Affairs Minister Seamus O'Regan said Friday the federal government will work with the province on the inquiry to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.
BRAIN INJURY VICTIM COMMUNICATES WITH MOM: In what her mother calls a "Christmas miracle," a Nova Scotia woman who suffered a catastrophic brain injury in a 1996 car accident communicated with family members for the first time in 21 years on Dec. 25. Louise Misner says her 37-year-old daughter Joellen Huntley used eye motion cameras and software on an iPad to respond to a question Misner asked her on Christmas Day. She says her daughter indicated through a screen icon that she was wearing a long-sleeved shirt.
ORDER OF CANADA LIST INCLUDES PHARMA GIANT: The Canadian pharmaceutical giant whose sudden death earlier this month is shrouded in mystery is among the latest inductees into the Order of Canada. Gov. Gen. Julie Payette released the latest round of appointments Friday, including 121 people new to the order and three who are being promoted within it. The list includes Bernard "Barry" Sherman, whose generic drug company Apotex made him and his wife, Honey, among the wealthiest people in Canada. The Shermans were found dead in their Toronto home on Dec. 15, and their deaths have been deemed "suspicious."
MONTREAL CANADA'S MOST TRILINGUAL CITY: Census numbers from 2016 reveal Montreal is by far the country's most trilingual city. The data were specially ordered by Montreal International, a business association, and provided today to The Canadian Press. The Statistics Canada figures indicate more than 21 per cent of Montrealers can speak at least three languages, compared with 11 per cent of Torontonians and 10 per cent of people in Vancouver. Jack Jedwab of the Association for Canadian Studies helped obtain the data and says Montreal has many trilingual people due to immigrants and Quebec's language law.
HEALTH CANADA MONITORING MAKEUP ASBESTOS TEST: Health Canada says it has requested to see testing data from Claire's Stores Inc. following reports that asbestos has been found in certain cosmetic products sold by the international retailer of youth-oriented jewelry and accessories. Claire's said it has retained an independent laboratory to test the cited products in order to determine whether the recent news reports are accurate. Canada's federal health agency said Friday that it contacted Claire's, which confirmed that the suspect cosmetics were sold in Canada but have been removed from stores since Dec. 22.
U.S. INDIGENOUS MAN HAS RIGHT TO HUNT IN CANADA: An American Indigenous man's right to hunt in Canada has been upheld by a judge because his ancestors traditionally hunted in this country. Richard Desautel was charged with violations under British Columbia's Wildlife Act after he shot and killed a cow elk near Castlegar in 2010. Desautel, a member of the Lakes Tribe in Washington state, argued he was exercising his constitutional right to hunt for ceremonial purposes and was acquitted of the charges in March. Justice Robert Sewell has dismissed an appeal, saying Desautel's tribe traditionally lived on both sides of the border and it has deep connections to its territory in Canada.
TRADING OF CANADIAN POT COMPANIES HALTED ON TSX: Several Canadian cannabis companies had their stocks temporarily halted on the Toronto Stock Exchange early Friday afternoon due to volatile swings in trading. The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada halted trading on Canopy Growth Corp., Aphria Inc., Aurora Cannabis Inc. and MedReleaf Corp. between approximately 12:15 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. ET. Trading resumed for all shares within about 10 minutes. Shortly before the halts, shares of Canopy Growth dropped 14.78 per cent, Aphria 15.5 per cent, Aurora 14.7 per cent and MedReleaf dropped 19.2 per cent.
DIVERS FIND BODY OF B.C. BOY IN SUNKEN CAR: The RCMP is investigating a car crash in southeastern B.C. that resulted in the death of a 10-year-old boy. Police say the vehicle the boy was in veered off Highway 23 in snowy and icy conditions, and crashed into Arrow Lake and sank. The 37-year-old driver and an 11-year-old girl made it out of the car before it sank. The name of the deceased boy is not being released, and the Mounties and coroner continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
FORCILLO CASE BACK IN COURT IN JANUARY: The case of a Toronto police officer found guilty of attempted murder in the fatal shooting of a teen on a streetcar and now charged with attempting to obstruct justice and perjury will return to court next month. Const. James Forcillo appeared in court Friday and is set to appear by video link on Jan. 12 to schedule a bail hearing on the charges, which were laid last week. Even if he is granted bail on those charges, however, Forcillo would remain in custody to serve his sentence in the shooting of 18-year-old Sammy Yatim.
