India v Pakistan ? 1st ODI ? Live Cricket Score and Match Update ...

India v Pakistan ? 1st ODI ? Live Cricket Score and Match Update ? Dhoni steadies India after Junaid strike

Rampaging Pakistani pacer Junaid Khan tore through the earlier part of the Indian batting order, and appeared to have put the hosts in a tight fix at one point in the 1st ODI at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai, today on December 30 ? however, Indian skipper MS Dhoni led from the front and staged a successful comeback, striking an unbeaten century to take the hosts up to 227 for 6 by the end of 50 overs.

With the T20I series having ended on a level 1-1, both teams went into the match eager to secure an ODI series win in the ice-breaking tour. The match kicked off with Pakistan winning the toss and choosing to field first, and Junaid Khan (9-1-43-4) did not disappoint the Men in Green at the start.

The opening duo of Gautam Gambhir (8) and Virender Sehwag (4) had barely settled down at the crease when Junaid Khan struck, to take Sehwag out of the game in the 4th over. Towering Pakistani pacer Mohammad Irfan (9-2-58-1) then proceeded to polish off the second opener, sending Gambhir packing in the 5th over, and India were down by two men.

Junaid Khan, however, wasn?t done yet, and managed to send out the top, and earlier part of the middle order, without allowing them to move beyond single digits. The 6th over resulted in the dismissals of both Yuvraj Singh (2) and Virat Kohli (0), and by the time Junaid had disposed of Rohit Sharma (4) in the 10th over, India were at a seemingly hopeless 29 for 5.

However, in a knock that is likely to stave off some of his more severe critics of late, Dhoni asserted his reputation as a composed captain, and smashed a massive unbeaten 113 to put the Men in Blue back in the game. The Indian skipper was joined by Suresh Raina (43) for a 73-run partnership for the 6th wicket, which got the team total into triple figures and up to 102.

Raina was eventually dislodged by Pakistan skipper Mohammad Hafeez (10-2-26-1), but Dhoni powered on, setting up an unbeaten 125-run partnership with Ravichandran Ashwin (31*). The skipper managed to pull off a successful recovery in the end, and the combined efforts of Dhoni and Ashwin got India up to a final total of 227 for 6 by the end of 50 overs.

Linux On The Microsoft Surface Won't Be Easy

If you were hoping you would be able to run your favorite Linux distribution on Microsoft's new Surface Tablet, it doesn't look like it will be an easy task to accomplish.

After going through the state of Linux distributions handling SecureBoot, UEFI-guru Matthew Garrett confirmed via his blog that Linux on the Microsoft Surface is likely a lemon.

The challenge with loading Linux (or any non-Microsoft operating system) on the new ARM-based tablet is that while it implements UEFI SecureBoot, it doesn't have the "Microsoft Windows UEFI Driver Publisher" key. This is the key used to sign Windows drivers and other non-Microsoft software (e.g. the signed Linux UEFI boot-loaders). Microsoft meanwhile has its own private key and this is the only UEFI SecureBoot key present on the Surface. Without the Surface having the "Microsoft Windows UEFI Driver Publisher" standard key, it's simply not a matter of having OS boot-loader be signed already to have support for this tablet. Microsoft only wants its OS on their tablet.

The Microsoft Surface tablet is based upon NVIDIA's Tegra 3 (T30) SoC with quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 1.3GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, storage capacities of 32GB or 64GB, and runs the Windows RT operating system. Being based upon the common NVIDIA Tegra 3 SoC, the hardware itself isn't too attractive or unique. You can already find plenty of other Tegra 3 tablets on the market capable of running Android/Linux like the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime, Google Nexus 7, Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11, and NVIDIA's Cardhu reference tablet.

As Matthew mentions in his post, loading Linux or any other operating system to this first-generation ARM-based Microsoft Surface tablet would likely involve finding a vulnerability within the device's firmware in order to execute arbitrary code.

Jet rolls off Moscow runway, splits apart

By Alissa de Carbonnel, Reuters

MOSCOW -- A Russian airliner split into pieces after it slid off the runway and crashed onto a highway outside Moscow on Saturday, killing at least four of the 12 crew on board and leaving smoking chunks of fuselage on the icy road.

Television footage showed the Tupolev 204 jet, broken into pieces, with smoke billowing from the tail end and the cockpit broken clean off the front.?

A man was thrown from the plane as it rammed into the barrier of the highway outside Vnukovo airport, one witness told the TV channel Rossiya-24.

Another witness described pulling other people from the wreckage.

"The plane split into three pieces," Yelena Krylova, chief spokeswoman for the airport, said in televised comments.


An Emergency Services spokesman said four people died of injuries after the crash and four others were in hospital. Police said 12 crew members were on board, but no passengers.

"The plane went off the runway, broke through the barrier and caught fire," police spokesman Gennady Bogachyov said.

The mid-range Tu-204 was operated by the Russian airline Red Wings and was traveling from the Czech Republic, Krylova said.

Rubble from the crash was scattered across the highway and the plane's wings were torn from the fuselage, witnesses said.

Rescuers work at the site of the plane crash at Moscow's Vnukovo airport on Saturday.

"We saw how the plane skidded off the runway ... The nose, where business class is, broke off and a man fell out," said a witness, who gave his name as Alexei. "We helped him get into a mini-bus to take him to the hospital."

Another witness described pulling four people from the wreckage when he arrived at the scene before emergency service workers. "We could not get the pilot out of the cockpit but we saw a lot of blood," he told Rossiya-24.

Russian investigators said preliminary findings pointed to pilot error as the cause of the crash.

Russia and other former Soviet republics had some of the world's worst air-traffic safety records last year, with a total accident rate almost three times the world average, the International Air Transport Association said.

A passenger jet crashed and burst into flames after takeoff in Siberia in April, killing 31 people, and an airliner slammed into a riverbank in September 2011, wiping out the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey team in a crash that killed 44 people.

The Russian-built Tu-204, which is comparable in size to a Boeing 757 or Airbus A321, is a Soviet-era design that was produced in the mid-1990s but is no longer being made. There have no major accidents previously reported with Tu-204s.

The crash during peak holiday travel ahead of Russia's New Year's vacation, which runs from Sunday through Jan. 9, cast a spotlight on Russia's poor air-safety record despite President Vladimir Putin's calls to improve controls.?

Frivolous Photo Friday -

I?m out of town right now with stunningly crappy internet, but will try to redeem myself a bit with some scheduled posts. Mostly pictures (uploaded before crappy internet). We?ll have plenty of time to do some hardcore SCIENCE in the new year! =)

For this Friday, let?s do mushrooms. I?ve collected a few photos of these things while going out hiking, and spend way too much time staring at the ground and rotten tree trunks for my own good. Despite having a slight extracurricular obsession with mushrooms, I?m not very good at identifying them ? can do genus if I?m lucky (ie, it?s obvious). But they?re alien and pretty to look at nevertheless, so I hope you enjoy! Remember, just as in the previous Frivolous Photo Friday where we witnessed a killing machine devouring a roach, these guys are not any more docile. Beneath the passive-looking fruiting bodies, the mycelium is busy exuding digestive substances into its surroundings, and soaking in the tasty remnants. Basically, the stomach of a fungus is its outside ? and we?re all part of it, sooner or later?

First, some Jack-o-Lanterns. Apparently, they bioluminesce, but I haven?t yet seen that.

A couple thinly stalked Mycena sp.. This is a particularly understudied genus of tiny, yet elegant, finely-stalked mushrooms ? some quite colourful, but most fairly pale. They still look cute close up though.

And here is something yellow with a seriously slimy cap. This is a young specimen, as the veil is still intact and hiding the gills. If this veil is finely net-like, these might be a Cortinarius sp., but I think the veil might be too densely fibrillar for that. Not that I really know what I?m talking about or anything, especially without half-functional internet.

Spain does not need European help for now says PM

MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said on Friday that Spain did not need to tap for now the European Central Bank's bond-buying program for troubled euro zone governments but did not rule out asking for aid in the future.

Rajoy has faced pressure from Spain's international partners -- including the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) -- to seek a European Union bailout. He has resisted so far, helped by an easing of the euro zone debt crisis.

"We are not thinking of asking the European Central Bank to intervene and buy bonds in the secondary market," he said at a news conference in Madrid. "But we can't rule it out in the future."

Rajoy has been able to delay a rescue because the ECB's pledge to intervene in the market and support Spanish bond prices has brought down Spain's borrowing costs since the summer.

He praised the ECB's move on Friday.

"I think it has been a very significant decision. It has had a calming effect on the markets," he said.

But Rajoy's delaying tactics are risky at a time when the Spanish economy is contracting sharply, with 25 percent unemployment. Some market commentators believe Spain's finances could spiral into chaos if it is forced to seek a bailout due to a sudden deterioration in bond markets.

Spain's country risk, the premium bondholders demand to buy Spanish 10-year benchmark bonds over German benchmarks, was around 400 basis points on Friday, well off highs of above 600 in July.

Rajoy warned Spaniards of a tough year ahead, especially the first half, but said he hoped to see some improvement in the second half of 2013.

Ophthalmology Doctors Advice for Healthy Eyes

In order to maintain the health of human eyes, doctors of ophthalmology advise patients to practice preventative care. Once injuries or illnesses have occurred, ophthalmologists are called on to diagnose and treat the conditions. If individuals take steps to protect their eyesight, they may eliminate many problems that could occur otherwise.

Ophthalmologists are eye doctors who went to medical school. They treat more serious situations than the optometrists who typically screen patients for vision deficiencies. One step toward keeping the eyes healthy is by having an examination before issues arise. These baseline screenings can notice the earliest developments before they turn into full-scale challenges. Once the baseline exam has been completed, regular checkups should follow, as needed. A typical eye exam time frame for patients with no problems is every one or two years. If there are signs of trouble, the checkups should be more frequent. Individuals who are in high-risk categories such as patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, or family history of glaucoma, cataracts, or other diseases should go more frequently.

Lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and cigarette smoking all affect vision and health of eyes. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, turnip greens, chard, and others are especially helpful because they contain high vitamin content. A balanced diet with plenty of Vitamin C, E, and Omega-3 fatty acids are also beneficial. Exercise helps blood flow and keeps immune systems functioning optimally. It also alleviates stress, which can affect eye health. Smoking cigarettes is bad for the whole body and the eyes are no different. Cataracts and AMD age-related macular degeneration are more likely to occur in smokers than non-smokers.

Protect your eyesight in the sun, at the workplace, and on the athletic field. Doctors of ophthalmology advise individuals to make it a regular practice to wear UVA and UVB protective sunglasses when they are outside or driving a vehicle. Sunlight can lead to cataracts, especially in green or blue-eyed individuals. Workers who use tools or substances that could damage eyes should wear masks and protective eyewear. Hockey players, baseball players, and any athlete that could receive a flying ball or puck to the face should wear protective eyewear, as well.

With so many people working on computers these days, eyestrain is becoming more prevalent. In order to protect oneself from this, a 20/20/20 rule should be followed. This is to look up from the screen every twenty minutes to a distance approximately twenty feet away for twenty seconds. Following this rule will keep eyes seeing 20/20 for years into the future.

Many patients opt for contact lenses over eyeglasses. This is fine as long as the contacts are properly worn and kept sterile. Sloppy contact hygiene can lead to infections. It?s imperative to follow directions for care to the letter. Using spit to clean your lens is a bad decision. Wearing them longer than directed can lead to pain and even blindness.

By following the preventative advice of doctors of ophthalmology, individuals can keep their eyes healthier and trouble at bay. Regular checkups by optometrists or ophthalmologists can keep small problems from turning serious.

In Brooklyn Ophthalmology doctors can help you keep your eyes healthy and your sight good. For more information about how a doctor could benefit you, visit http://www.brightoneye.com.

Smart Magazine | Earthy and Expecting: Remembering to celebrate

If you?ve been following my column (thank you!), you know that the ?expecting? part of ?Earthy and Expecting? is deceiving.

You also know that my own pregnancy journey took a very unexpected twist on October 25, when I was hospitalized for contractions and put on bed rest that lasted all of four days before I delivered my son nearly three months early.

Since then, nothing in our lives ? mine and Jon?s, Jackson?s father ? has gone as ?expected.? What once was intended to be a quirky column on a New Age-style pregnancy, with an emphasis on alternative and green living, morphed into a NICU stay?s timeline alongside my personal experience of getting to know Jax, or as we call him, Superpreemie.

Talk about ?alternative.?

And ?earthy?? Try ?down to earth.?

The heady experience of realizing you?ve created a life with the person you love most in the world comes crashing into a reality you didn?t choose when you give birth early and even your doctors don?t know why, or what will happen next. It does so again when you first attempt to negotiate between your responsibility for this tiny life and the fact that the NICU staff are his primary caretakers, and again when you take your first steps toward incorporating a new being into your family and world.

This holiday, I took a break from dashing back and forth between the NICU, work and home to remember myself, who I am, and who comprises my family.

It started when my company surprised me with a baby shower that I thought was just a standard-issue holiday potluck.

Unexpected? You bet. At the ?SURPRISE!? and applause, I actually turned around to make sure no one was behind me, that I didn?t sneak in ahead of the ?real? guest of honor. Then I saw my name on a sheet cake and remembered: Oh yeah, I had a baby!

Not that I?d actually forgotten about Superpreemie. But I?ve been so wrapped up in Jax?s treatment and weight gain and progress, plus just getting my clothes to match and not totally messing up at work, that a party was the last thing on my mind; I brought a batch of Jon?s mom?s Christmas cookies to the ?potluck? and was just happy for a quick, free, hot lunch.

What I got was a reminder to celebrate. I can?t express how invaluable a gift that is ? and believe that, because I also got a money tree, to which everyone contributed in lieu of the usual Secret Santa tradition.

Jon and I had been so busy that we hadn?t even gotten a Christmas tree, so my coworkers urged me to take home the artificial tree, thick with bills and a homemade newspaper-chain strand of ?garland.?

Thanks to Erin McCracken for the gift of this ornament, and for coordinating my YDR surprise baby shower!

The lesson is, while I?ve waxed poetic about ?choosing blessed,? gone to my family-sponsored baby shower, kept near-daily updates on Jax?s progress via his CaringBridge site, shared baby pictures and enthused about his absurdly impressive weight gain, I haven?t actually celebrated.

Jon and I were so touched by the surprise shower and my coworkers? generosity that we dug out last year?s Christmas ornaments, and even went out to purchase a new one together, as is our yearly tradition. We decorated our little tree, took some time to purchase and wrap presents and write cards for those who?ve been so good to us. We threw some snowballs on Christmas Eve. I even baked a little!

Clockwise from left are Kim Moore (Mom-Mom), Delbert Moore (Papaw), Jonathan Moore (Dad), me, and Baby Jax, Superpreemie.

?

And on Christmas Day, we went to the NICU to see Superpreemie, all snuggled up in red-and-white-striped footie pajamas with a reindeer on the tush, and a red and green elf hat. Jon?s parents were with us, and we asked Jax?s nurse to take a family picture. My parents, three hours away and not going anywhere because of the weather forecast, will be in that picture next year.

I was a little sad leaving the NICU, leaving my baby behind on Christmas. He?s my family now, and so is everyone who supports us and celebrates him.

Looking ahead to 2013 ? the year Jax will come home with us, the year we?ll celebrate our first Christmas with him in our house, how can it not be a happy new year?

How can we not celebrate?

PS?Check out this story by coworker Stephanie Reighart about another NICU family Christmas. Baby Callan and Baby Jax were neighbors for a bit!

Survey finds increase in e-reading, drop in paper

2 hrs.

The tastes of the reading public are turning digital.

A Pew Internet Research Center survey released Thursday found that the percentage of Americans aged 16 and older who read an e-book grew from 16 percent in 2011 to 23 percent this year. Readers of traditional books dropped from 72 percent to 67 percent. Overall, those reading books of any kind dropped from 78 percent to 75 percent, a shift Pew called statistically insignificant.

Those owning an e-book device or tablet jumped from 18 percent to 33 percent, with much of that increase coming from last year's holiday season, when millions received Kindles, Nooks and other e-readers as gifts.

Awareness that libraries offer digital texts grew from 24 percent to 31 percent.

The telephone survey of 2,252 people aged 16 and older was conducted from Oct. 15 to Nov. 10. It has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 2.3 percentage points.

Westbrook rallies Thunder past Mavericks 111-105

(AP) ? Here's a new twist on the Oklahoma City Thunder's budding rivalry with the Dallas Mavericks: With a game coming down to crunch time, Dirk Nowitzki didn't want the ball.

Instead, it was Russell Westbrook who shrugged off a shaky start and closed out a Thunder victory.

Kevin Durant scored 40 points while Westbrook added eight of his 16 points in overtime to help Oklahoma City beat Dallas 111-105 on Thursday night for their 11th straight win at home.

Westbrook turned the game around with six straight points after the Mavs had gone up 104-101 on Chris Kaman's bucket inside midway through overtime. Westbrook had a layup, hit a jumper over the rusty Nowitzki and then made a leaping steal of an O.J. Mayo pass that led to a fast-break layup. The sequence left Mavericks owner Mark Cuban shaking his head in his seat near the team's bench.

"I just try to make an impact on the game," said Westbrook, who also had 10 assists, six rebounds and three steals. "Maybe it's not scoring. Maybe it's rebounding, maybe it's passing, maybe it's defending.

"But I just try to make an impact on the game every night."

Until the end, it had been Westbrook who was frustrated. He missed eight of his first 10 shots and struggled to contain ex-UCLA teammate Darren Collison, who scored a season-high 32 points and hit a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime.

"Sometimes there's nights like that," Westbrook said. "You've just got to continue to play, fight through it and play your game."

When asked specifically about Collison, Westbrook cut off his postgame interview and cussed on his way out of the locker room.

"He kept fighting and kept fighting for the team," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. " ... I love Russell. I love what he does. I love what he's about. He competes every time. He's a big part of why we're a good team."

Still working his way back into shape, Nowitzki proved to be a liability during Oklahoma City's 17-6 fourth-quarter comeback. He sagged off of Durant far enough that the three-time NBA scoring champion could drill a 3-pointer from the left wing, then was trailing a play when Mayo backed into him and lost the ball to set up Durant's fast-break dunk and three-point play.

"I don't really have the stamina or the legs there, so I couldn't really put on the brakes. I mean, I kicked the ball out of his hands," Nowitzki said. "It was just some ugly stuff."

In overtime, Carlisle pulled Nowitzki in favor of Shawn Marion for defense at one point. And he wasn't his usual clutch self with the game on the line ? as Oklahoma City knows well from the Western Conference finals two seasons ago.

"I didn't really want the ball that much," Nowitzki said. "I don't really feel like I've got the stamina, the lift to do something out there with the ball, make a one-on-one move.

"I think that I'm a week or two away of really dominating the ball down the stretch and making some stuff happen."

Nowitzki said his knee feels "phenomenal," going as far as saying he thinks the surgery will be good for the rest of his career, but at this point his legs feel heavy.

"I don't really have any bounce or lift," Nowitzki said. "I don't really have that bounce in my step yet, but I'll keep working. As long as the knee respondes the right way, I think my legs will come back sooner or later."

Serge Ibaka added 19 points and matched his season high with 17 rebounds as Oklahoma City charged back from 10 points down in the final 7:17 of regulation and found a way to win after losing back-to-back games for the first time this season.

After Westbrook put Oklahoma City up 107-104, Mayo was fouled on Dallas' next possession while shooting a 3-pointer. He missed the first two foul shots with 33 seconds left as the sold-out Chesapeake Energy Arena crowd roared louder with each miss.

Westbrook hit two free throws after that to put it away ? this time for good.

Collison came up with a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer to send it to overtime after Dallas had given up the lead for the first time since the opening 4 minutes.

Marion inbounded from the sideline with 2.2 seconds left, collected a deflected pass and headed toward the lane before kicking the ball out to Collison, who caught the ball in mid-air and heaved it toward the basket for the tying 3 from the right wing.

Replays showed he released the shot with one-tenth of a second left on the clock.

"He was phenomenal for us tonight and fun to watch. I hate to waste an effort like that from him obviously," said Nowitzki, who had nine points in his second game back after offseason knee surgery.

"We definitely need him to keep playing like that. Obviously, he's not going to score 30 every night but we need him to attack and make some stuff happen."

Kaman ended up with 17 points and Marion chipped in 14 points and nine rebounds for the Mavericks, who were swept on a treacherous three-game road trip that featured stops at West contenders Memphis, San Antonio and Oklahoma City despite getting Nowitzki back. Dallas has lost seven of eight to fall to 12-17.

"I think the goal is still the playoffs. I don't think that's going to change," Nowitzki said.

Dallas had been 11-1 this season when leading at the beginning of the fourth quarter and 11-2 after holding a 10-point lead or larger. Mayo, who had been averaging 20.6 points, scored only four and has 29 total over the last four games.

Oklahoma City had won 12 in a row before losing back-to-back games at Minnesota and Miami.

The franchises have grown quite familiar over the past two seasons, with each team taking a turn knocking the other out of the playoffs ? in addition to their proximity along Interstate 35 and a handful of preseason matchups to go with the usual regular-season meetings. Dallas eliminated Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals before winning the NBA title in 2011 and the Thunder swept the Mavs in the first round last season.

Other than Nowitzki and coach Rick Carlisle, there aren't many remnants of those Dallas teams left. An offseason overhaul left Marion, Vince Carter, Brandan Wright and Rodrigue Beaubois as the only Mavericks remaining from those clashes.

Notes: Beaubois, a reserve guard for the Mavericks, did not play because of an illness. Carlisle said he hoped to have Beaubois back for Friday's home game against Denver. ... Reggie Jackson took Eric Maynor's minutes as Westbrook's backup at point guard for the second straight game. ... Durant remained first among Western Conference frontcourt players in NBA All-Star balloting returns announced Thursday. Westbrook stayed in fifth among guards. Nowitzki, who has made 11 straight All-Star games, was 13th in the frontcourt. ... Ibaka had a double-double by halftime for the first time in his career.

Utah teachers get free gun training in response to Newtown shooting

(Reuters) - Kasey Hansen, a special education teacher from Salt Lake City, Utah, says she would take a bullet for any of her students, but if faced with a gunman threatening her class, she would rather be able to shoot back.

On Thursday, she was one of 200 Utah teachers who flocked to an indoor sports arena for free instruction in the handling of firearms by gun activists who say armed educators might have a chance at thwarting deadly shooting rampages in their schools.

The event was organized by the Utah Shooting Sports Council in response to the mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, this month that killed 20 children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

The council said it has typically attracted about 16 teachers each year to its concealed carry training courses. But Thursday's event near Salt Lake City, organized especially for educators in the aftermath of Newtown, drew interest from hundreds, and the class was capped at 200 for space limitations.

"I feel like I would take a bullet for any student in the school district," Hansen, a special education teacher in a Salt Lake City school district, told Reuters after the training session.

"If we should ever face a shooter like the one in Connecticut, I'm fully prepared to respond with my firearm," she said, adding that she planned to buy a weapon soon and take it to work.

The Newtown massacre reignited a national debate over gun safety. President Barack Obama signaled his support for reinstating a national ban on assault-style rifles and urged Congress to act. The National Rifle Association has called for posting armed guards at schools and rejected new gun-control measures.

'HOW DO I KEEP A GUN SAFE?'

The National Education Association and a number of school officials criticized the NRA's stance, but it got a warmer reception in some parts of the West, where hunting and guns are prevalent.

Utah is one of a handful of states that allows people with concealed-carry licenses to take their weapons onto school property, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

In Arizona, Attorney General Tom Horne on Wednesday jumped into the debate over school security with a proposal to allow any school to train and arm its principal or another staff member.

The plan, which was backed by at least three sheriffs, would require approval by the legislature and the state's Republican governor, Jan Brewer.

Clark Aposhian, head of the Utah Shooting Sports Council and a certified firearms instructor, organized the event on Thursday to provide teachers with permits to allow them to carry concealed handguns in the classroom. He waived the usual $50 fee for the course.

"I genuinely felt depressed at how helpless those teachers were and those children were in Newtown," Aposhian said. "It doesn't have to be that way."

Utah teacher Kerrie Anderson was not about to participate. She is a choir and math instructor at a junior high school near Salt Lake City, and said her family is "pro-gun" and uses firearms for sports such as target shooting. But she balks at the notion of carrying a weapon into her classroom.

"How would I keep that gun safe?" she said. "I wouldn't carry (it) on my person while teaching, where a disgruntled student could overpower me and take it. And if I have it secured in my office, it might not be a viable form of protection."

Gun-control activists have decried moves to arm teachers and said efforts at curbing gun violence in schools should be tied to tightening firearms laws.

"We think it makes a lot more sense to prevent a school shooter from getting the gun in the first place," said Kristen Rand, legislative director for the Violence Policy Center in Washington, D.C.

The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary ranks as the second most deadly school shooting in U.S. history. Police say Adam Lanza, 20, killed his mother before going to the school, where he committed the massacre and shot himself to death.

Shinzo Abe Elected Japan's New Prime Minister (VIDEO)

TOKYO ? Old-guard veteran Shinzo Abe was voted back into office as prime minister Wednesday and immediately named a new Cabinet, ending three years of liberal administrations and restoring power to his conservative, pro-big-business party that has run Japan for most of the post-World War II era.

Abe, whose nationalist positions have in the past angered Japan's neighbors, is the country's seventh prime minister in just over six years. He was also prime minister in 2006-2007 before resigning for health reasons that he says are no longer an issue.

The outspoken and often hawkish leader has promised to restore growth to an economy that has been struggling for 20 years. His new administration also faces souring relations with China and a complex debate over whether resource-poor Japan should wean itself off nuclear energy after last year's earthquake and tsunami caused a meltdown at an atomic power plant.

On top of that, he will have to win over a public that gave his party a lukewarm mandate in elections on Dec. 16, along with keeping at bay a still-powerful opposition in parliament. Though his party and its Buddhist-backed coalition partner is the biggest bloc in the more influential lower house, Abe actually came up short in the first round of voting in the upper house, then won in a runoff.

Capitalizing on voter discontent with the left-leaning Democratic Party of Japan, Abe has vowed to shore up the economy, deal with a swelling national debt and come up with a fresh recovery plan following last year's tsunami disaster, which set off the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.

"Disaster reconstruction and economic recovery are our first and foremost tasks," new Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said in announcing what he called a "crisis breakthrough Cabinet."

In foreign policy, Abe has stressed his desire to make Japan a bigger player on the world stage, a stance that has resonated with many voters who are concerned that their nation is taking a back seat economically and diplomatically to China.

He has said he will support a reinterpretation of Japan's pacifist postwar constitution to loosen the reins on the military, stand up to Beijing over an ongoing territorial dispute and strengthen Tokyo's security alliance with Washington. Beijing has already warned him to tread carefully, and will be watching closely to see if he tones down his positions now that he is in office.

Abe led the Liberal Democratic Party to victory in nationwide elections this month to cement his second term as Japan's leader.

"I feel as fresh as the clear sky today," Abe told reporters before Wednesday's parliamentary vote, adding that he wanted to get right down to business.

His new Cabinet will feature another former prime minister, Taro Aso, as finance minister. Heading the foreign ministry is Fumio Kishida, an expert on the southern island of Okinawa, where many residents angry over crime and overcrowding want a big reduction in the number of U.S. troops they host ? now at about 20,000. The new defense minister is Itsunori Onodera, who was in Abe's previous administration.

Abe has already named a roster of top party executives that includes two women ? more than in previous LDP administrations ? and is younger than earlier ones, with three of the four in their 50s.

The LDP governed Japan for decades after it was founded in 1955. Before it was ousted in 2009, the LDP was hobbled by scandals and problems getting key legislation through a divided parliament.

This time around, Abe has promised to make the economy his top priority and is expected to push for a 2 percent inflation target designed to fight a problem that was until recently relatively unique in the world ? deflation. Continually dropping prices deaden economic activity, and the Japanese economy has been stuck in deflation for two decades.

Besides generous promises to boost public works spending ? by as much as 10 trillion yen ($119 billion), according to party officials ? Abe is pressuring the central bank to work more closely with the government to reach the inflation target.

Ah~ And here I was beginning to lose hope that a good roleplay could possibly be posted on this site~ I will be working on an assassin character, I believe. Though admittedly, I am intrigued by the Order of Vyldi as well! We'll see how it turns out~

I fell into that purgatory between waking and dreaming, the transient space existing between conscious and subconscious. It was beautiful... ephemeral. And I could not help but wish to stay forever.

So, this RP seems to be a sequel to a previous story, or something. If this is the case, are only people from the previous RP allowed to join, or can someone who wasn't a part of it participate?

EDIT: If the answer to the above question is yes, then I'd like to ask a few questions about the story and setting, and a possible character idea. Thanks!

Hey guys! Thanks so much for the interest!

So to answer Tsukia's question, I was originally only going to have the old RP'ers from the first RP allowed, and a couple of friends, but then I decided not to at last minute.

So, this is an open RP and anyone can join, I'm just being a little bit more picky than usual is all. I want good writers, (don't worry, I'm not hard core or anything, I just want to be sure you can write a lot and its readable :) had too many players that write a couple sentences or a paragraph and then that's it for their post. I want some long stuff!)

I can't wait to see your characters!!!

Anyway, that said, hi everyone! :D This RP looks great, can't wait to get started. Qaida, I can probably work on a character a little later. I'm kind of running a few things at once here. lol

Only after the world is set ablaze may people finally see the light...

Alright, so for one of the members, I'm going to put up a new Topic and in there I'll give a quick synopsis of the last RP, what the old dragons were to the world of Lastra, what dragons in this world mean and how they play a role and all that good stuff.

So! Before we start posting later on this week, please be sure to read through the Topic so everyone is on the same page ;) Enjoy guys!! Thanks!

Oh wow~ That took a bit longer than I thought it would take! (I'm sorry my sample is a bit shorter than a normal post would be, but I hope that showing you around 750 words should be enough?) The sample may seem a bit random but once put into context, a lot of what she fears/sees at night she will cover rather well during the day. So I wanted to give a nice comparison~ I was unsure what to put for the dragon so that new topic would really help @w@ Hope you like her/find the character acceptable~

Lawmakers look to restrict gun magazine capacity

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Lawmakers from both parties voiced their willingness Sunday to pursue some changes to the nation's gun laws, but adamant opposition from the National Rifle Association has made clear than any such effort will face significant obstacles.

NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre dismissed efforts to revive a ban on assault weapons as a "phony piece of legislation" that's built on lies.

Democratic lawmakers in Congress have become more adamant about the need for stricter gun laws since the shooting of 20 children and six teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California is promising to push for a renewal of expired legislation that banned certain weapons and limited the number of bullets a gun magazine could hold to 10.

"I think we ought to be looking at where the real danger is, like those large clips," said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.

"I think we need a comprehensive approach," said Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., a longtime gun rights supporter. "I'll look at all the proposals. . I think it looks at mental health, I think it looks at protecting our schools but I also think it looks at these high-volume magazines, you know, that can fire off so many rounds."

Both lawmakers appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation," where NRA President David Keene said lawmakers were asking the wrong question when discussing how many rounds a gun magazine should have.

The right question, he said: "Can we keep guns out of the hands of people who are potential killers?"

LaPierre made clear it was highly unlikely that the NRA could support any new gun regulations.

"You want one more law on top of 20,000 laws, when most of the federal gun laws we don't even enforce?" he said.

Instead, LaPierre reiterated the group's support for putting police officers in every school.

"If it's crazy to call for putting police and armed security in our schools to protect our children, then call me crazy," LaPierre said on NBC's "Meet the Press." ''I think the American people think it's crazy not to do it. It's the one thing that would keep people safe."

Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, said he found the NRA's statements in recent days to be "really disheartening." Still, he said he agrees with some of the points the group has made about the causes behind violence in America.

"But it's obviously also true that the easy availability of guns, including military-style assault weapons, is a contributing factor, and you can't keep that off the table. I had hoped they'd come to the table and say, everything is on the table," Lieberman said.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said LaPierre was "so extreme and so tone deaf" that he was making it easier to pass gun legislation.

"Look, he blames everything but guns: movies, the media, President Obama, gun-free school zones, you name it. And the video games, he blames them," Schumer said.

Lieberman said the NRA's stand on new gun rules means passing legislation next year won't happen easily.

"It's going to be a battle. But the president, I think, and vice president, are really ready to lead the fight," he said.
