arts now," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid acknowledged after
Thursday's vote.He assured Democrats that a proposal to renew the assault
weapons ban and a ban on high-capacity magazines would get a vote
as an amendment, though it was dropped from the main bill amid
intense opposition.The main bill also includes a measure to increase school
safety funding.Reid lost two Democrats in Thursday's vote -- Sen. Mark Pryor,
D-Ark., and Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, both lawmakers from states with
a strong tradition of gun ownership.More than a dozen Republican senators
for days had threatened to hold up the bill Thursday. They voiced
concern that the proposal -- namely, the background checks provision --
would infringe on Second Amendment rights and impose a burden on law-abiding
gun owners. They also expressed frustration that, while Manchin and Toomey
touted their compromise measure, the bill on the table Thursday did not
yet include that. Rather, it included a stricter background checks provision."Because
the background-check measure is the centerpiece of this legislation it is
critical that we know what is in the bill before we vote
on it," Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Ted Cruz, R-Texas; and Mike Lee,
R-Utah, said in a statement. "The American people expect more and deserve
better."Thursday's vote follows an intense week of lobbying by gun control
advocates, including the families of the victims of the December mass shooting
at Sandy Hook Element
Some Texas applicants for welfare would be subjected to drug testing and
would be permanently cut off if they fail three times under a
bill passed Wednesday by the state Senate.The bill covers Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families program applicants. The program, which provides poor
people with money for food, clothing, housing and other basic needs, distributes
about $90 million to more than 100,000 Texans annually. The amount of
the payment depends on family size and income."Taxpayer money should not
be used to subsidize someone's drug habit," bill sponsor Sen. Jane Nelson,
R-Flower Mound, said before the bill sailed through on a 31-0 vote
that sent it to the House.The program already requires adult TANF applicants
to sign a pledge not to sell or use drugs. Nelson's bill
would move Texas in line with seven other states that require testing.
It would not cover other welfare programs such as food stamps or
other state benefit programs.Not all applicants would be tested, but all
would be required to undergo a screening assessment, likely a questionnaire,
to determine their risk of drug use. Anyone with a previous felony
drug conviction or failed drug test or who is otherwise deemed a
high risk for drug use would be tested.Applicants who test positive would
be barred from collecting benefits for 12 months. They could reapply in
six months if they complete a substance abuse program. Three failed drug
tests would result in a permanent ban

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">ndamental rights of the people of Connecticut."The Connecticut
Valley in Connecticut and western Massachusetts has been home to a large
gun industry dating to the Revolutionary War.Andrew Doba, a spokesman for
Malloy, said the governor is committed to job creation, but additional gun
restrictions were paramount following the shooting deaths in December of
20 children and six educators at an elementary school in Newtown."On this
particular issue he's been clear: We need to prioritize public safety and
this bill will improve public safety," he said.The law adds more than
100 firearms to the state's assault weapons ban and creates what officials
have called the nation's first dangerous weapon offender registry and eligibility
rules for buying ammunition.Malkowski said he's received many emails from
customers "fed up with Connecticut.""They urged us to pick up and leave,"
he said.Malkowski said he spoke Tuesday with Texas economic development
officials trying to lure the company, which was founded in 2003 and
employs more than 200 employees."It's something we'll strongly consider,"
he said, adding that leaving Connecticut would be difficult. "If you're
a lawyer with a laptop, that's one thing," he said. "It's not
something we're going to do easily."Jonathan Scalise, owner of Ammunition
Storage Components, also of New Britain, said he's received offers from
Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South
Dakota and

for business users has declined as well. According to Chou, companies now
buy computers every four or five years as opposed to every three
years. Estimates for global PC shipments may fall even lower than the
already-grim 1.3 percent contraction for 2013, IDC told WSJ.At this point,
unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed
to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to
have slowed the market, said Bob ODonnell, IDC Program Vice President, Clients
and Displays. While some consumers appreciate the new form factors and touch
capabilities of Windows 8, the radical changes to the UI, removal of
the familiar Start button, and the costs associated with touch have made
PCs a less attractive alternative to dedicated tablets and other competitive
devices.The pressure is on Microsoft to make Windows 8 more compelling to
consumers, whether it be through lower prices or big changes to the
operating system. The Windows Blue update expected this summer promises
several enhancements, including the ability to view more apps on the screen
at once and easier access to settings, but it may not be
enough.
