n media, and school safety.By the time President Obamas gun task
force was halfway finished with its work, it was clear that those
other considerations were going to be window dressing at best. Gun control
advocates, fearing that every day that passed from the raw emotions of
the killings, made their hopes of getting a gun ban in place
dwindle, decided to ditch what is complicated or innovative and fall back
to old and largely failed ideas.While murder rates have dramatically declined
in America over the past two decades, the phenomenon of mass killings
has become a cultural sickness. Broken families, a corroded culture, the
isolation and alienation of the Internet age, the inadequacy of mental health
care and failing schools all play a part. These are matters of
the heart and soul of a society, and these killings are terrible
symptoms of chronic disease.Manchin was calling for something that would
explore and address some of these root causes, but before the conversation
could begin, the gun grabbers were already grabbing and the cold-dead-handers
were already gripping tighter. The moment was gone. The attacks had begun,
and what was a moment of national dialogue reverted to pointless political
shouting matches.Today, Manchin is trying to sell a compromise on firearms
background checks that would have done nothing to prevent the Newtown killings,
since the perpetrator there didnt buy the weapons. He took them from
his mother, whom he a
new momentum after the
banking crisis in Cyprus pushed depositors there to find creative ways to
move money. Fink, the Argentine, favors bitcoins because he believes they
will insulate him from his country's high inflation. Others -- from Iranian
musicians to American auto dealers -- use the currency to dodge international
sanctions or reach new markets.But the anything-goes nature of Bitcoin has
also made it attractive to denizens of the Internet's dark side.One of
the most prominent destinations for bitcoins remains Silk Road, a black
market website where drug dealers advertise their wares in a consumer-friendly
atmosphere redolent of Amazon or eBay -- complete with a shopping cart
icon, a five-point rating system and voluminous user reviews. The site uses
Tor, an online anonymity network, to mask the location of its servers,
while bitcoin payments ensure there's no paper trail.One British user told
the AP he first got interested in Silk Road while he was
working in China, where he used the site to order banned books.
After moving to Japan, he turned to the site for an occasional
high."Buying recreational drugs in Japan is difficult, especially if you
don't know people from growing up there," said the user, who asked
for anonymity because he did not want his connection to Silk Road
to be publicly known.He warned that one of the site's drawbacks is
that the drugs can take weeks to arrive "so there's no spontaneity."Drug
dealers aren'

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">April 10, 2013: A rack of AR-15 rifles stand to be individually
packaged as workers move a pallet of rifles for shipment at the
Stag Arms company in New Britain, Conn.APNEW BRITAIN, Conn. A Connecticut
gun-maker announced on Wednesday it intends to leave the state, just six
days after passage of restrictive gun control legislation, while two other
manufacturers said they are considering relocation offers from other states.Manufacturers
also plan to lobby the state's congressional delegation next week "to make
sure they hear from our side," said Mark Malkowski, president of Stag
Arms in New Britain.Bristol-based PTR said in a statement posted on its
website that it has not decided where it will move, but has
commitments from most employees to relocate. The company makes military-style
rifles and employs more than 40 people. PTR Vice President John McNamara
said the company expects to make a more formal announcement about a
move within six weeks."Along with other companies in the trade, we were
deeply apprehensive at the hurried process to develop new gun laws and
fearful that it would generate unintended consequences for our industry,"
the company said.With the legislation signed into law by Gov. Dannel P.
Malloy on April 4, "our worst fears were confirmed," the company said.
"What emerged was a bill fraught with ambiguous definitions, insufficient
considerations for the trade, conflicting mandates and disastrous consequences
for the fu
A possible breakthrough legislative proposal on gun background checks was
met with a mixed response ahead of a key test vote Thursday,
with the White House giving its blessing while some top Republicans and
gun rights groups still voiced concerns.Senate Democrats plowed ahead with
a planned test vote on the sweeping gun control legislation. The so-called
cloture vote is set for 11 a.m. ET Thursday, and a congressional
aide told Fox News that Democrats are likely to reach the 60-vote
threshold needed to proceed toward debate and eventually a final vote. They
will face resistance from more than a dozen Republican senators, including
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who have vowed to try to block the
legislation.A compromise struck between conservative Sens. Joe Manchin,
D-W.Va., and Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., boosted the legislation's chances and
earned praise from President Obama."I applaud Senators Joe Manchin and Pat
Toomey for their leadership on forging a bipartisan agreement around commonsense
background checks that will make it harder for dangerous people to get
their hands on a gun," Obama said in a written statement. "This
is not my bill, and there are aspects of the agreement that
I might prefer to be stronger. But the agreement does represent welcome
and significant bipartisan progress."But Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., echoed
many Republicans in calling it "a good-faith but unworkable plan.""The proposal
