Right to bear arm

In the advent of too many school massacres to now count, including the recent mass shooting at Virginia Tech, we should at least be questioning our gun laws. Annually, more than 4,000 shoes from the feet of children killed by violence are delivered to the White House steps.

when i was in high school there was a shooting incident at my school. we were locked in our classroom for three hours and we had detectives and policemen investigating our classroom. then my teacher realized that night at her dinner table that one of her student was missing the whole time. he turned out to be the shooter, a boy who was sitting in front of me, and he has been carrying the gun in his backpack for three months.

bikini box

Bikini box sells bikini in sets. the big box comes with two sets of bikini and the medium size has two sets of bottom and the small one two sets of top. I wanted to make the cans be more interactive since they are not sold displayed so I added "fitting room" part on the label. This part engages the potential buyers to see different style bikinis on the model.

semiotic.

semiotic would be a simplified version of a language. it serves to deliver message in a indiscriminate way because it uses image or special deliverable rather than language.
Thus anyone who cannot read or see can still understand the message. However depending on one's culture and background knowledge, the message can be misleading.

U.S. Voter Turnout Up in 2004, Census Bureau Reports

Sixty-four percent of U.S. citizens age 18 and over voted in the 2004 presidential election, up from 60 percent in 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau reported today. Tables from a November survey also show that of 197 million citizens, 72 percent (142 million) reported they were registered to vote. Among those registered, 89 percent (126 million) said they voted. In the 2000 election, 70 percent of citizens were registered; and among them, 86 percent voted.

Other highlights from the Voting and Registration in the Election of November 2004 online tables pertaining to the voting-age citizen population:

• In 2004, turnout rates for citizens were 67 percent for non-Hispanic whites, 60 percent for blacks, 44 percent for Asians and 47 percent for Hispanics (of any race). These rates were higher than the previous presidential election by 5 percentage points for non-Hispanic whites and 3 points for blacks. By contrast, the voting rates for Asian and Hispanic citizens did not change. These data pertain to those who identified themselves as being of a single race. (See Table 1. [Excel])
  
  
• Minnesota had the highest citizen-voting rate at 79 percent, and North Dakota the highest citizen-registration rate at 89 percent. (See Table 2. [Excel])
  
  
• Citizens age 65 and older had the highest registration rate (79 percent) while those age 18 to 24 had the lowest (58 percent). The youngest group also had the lowest voting rate (47 percent), while those age 45 and older had the highest turnout (about 70 percent). (See Table 1. [Excel])
  
  
• Among citizens, turnout was higher for women (65 percent) than for men (62 percent). The turnout rate for people with a bachelor’s degree or higher (80 percent) was greater than the rate for people whose highest level of educational attainment was a high school diploma (56 percent). (See Table 1. [Excel])
  
  
• Seventy-three percent of veteran citizens cast ballots, compared with 63 percent of their nonveteran counterparts. (See Table 1. [Excel])

Voting rates in the online tables are calculated using the voting-age population, which includes citizens and noncitizens.
