FORT WALTON BEACH — Okaloosa County commissioners are considering raising the local gasoline tax to generate money needed to pave and repair roads, primarily in the northern part of the county.
The board voted unanimously Tuesday to send letters to the county's nine municipalities to ask whether they would agree with a tax hike of up to 5 cents.
"From day one, I've advocated this is a user fee that allows 30 to 40 percent of the people who come through here to pay for … the roads that they're using," Commissioner Wayne Harris said.
He said the gas tax hike is a "way of capturing money to fix the roads."
"I just think it's a fair thing," Harris added.
Counties in Florida are authorized to levy up to 12 cents. Okaloosa now levies 7 cents.
The board can levy a 1- to 5-cent tax on every net gallon of gas sold in the county. Diesel fuel is exempt.
County Administrator Jim Curry estimated the gas tax would generate about $911,709 per cent levied countywide. The revenue must be shared with local municipalities through agreements.
Commissioner Dave Parisot said it's important to gauge the will of the local governments because their residents would be subject to the tax.
"I'd like to hear from those city councils … as to what their feelings are," he said.
Commissioner Nathan Boyles agreed, calling a gas tax increase "a difficult political decision."
He said it's reasonable for the county to expect the municipalities to "share that burden."
Boyles said he's talked to residents and has been "somewhat surprised" to hear cautious support for the gas tax hike. Many residents have said they want to see a "defined benefit" for the increase and know exactly how the revenue would be spent, he said.
"We have to be willing to tackle this issue, and this is one way to get there," Boyles said.
If the board decides to levy the remaining 5 cents, it would have to be approved by July 1 to take effect Jan. 1, 2014.
Commissioners also agreed to send letters to the heads of local gas and electric utilities about charging a franchise fee to use county rights of way.
"The truth is that everybody utilizes that revenue source except for us," Boyles said. "The cities utilize it. Our neighboring counties utilize it. We're the only entity that doesn't."
That absence of franchise fees has "unfairly forced our property owners to shoulder the burden," he added.
Under the maximum assessment of 6 percent on electric and gas utilities, franchise fees in unincorporated Okaloosa County could generate $7.5 million.
The enactment of a franchise fee requires the county to get agreements from the utilities or win the right to impose the fee in court.

text: When and How to Stop Antidepressant MedicationEach year millions of Americans are prescribed antidepressants. There are many types of antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) tricyclic antidepressants. Many of these medications are used to treat depression, as well as panic disorder, and compulsive behavior.How they workThese medications work by affecting substances in the brain called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters include serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. If you take an antidepressant, it's important to continue to do so for at least four to nine months after you begin to feel better, to prevent a recurrence of the depression. Discuss with your doctor if discontinuing your medication is a good idea. If it is, the doctor will usually give you instructions to gradually reduce your dose. You should have no trouble with withdrawal symptoms if you follow your provider's instructions. But some people experience withdrawal side effects when discontinuing medication; these side effects can include balance problems, flu-like symptoms, blurred vision, irritability, tingling sensations, vivid dreams, nervousness, and nausea. If you do, these should be reported to your doctor promptly.Deciding when and how to stop taking antidepressants is an important step, and one you should always discuss with your doctor. What to doTo stop an antidepressant safely:Don't stop the drug abruptly. If you've been on an antidepressant for four weeks or more, you shouldn't stop taking it unless your provider tells you to.Be aware of the risks. For many people, the withdrawal symptoms, which are known as discontinuation syndrome, are mild and short-lived. For others, symptoms can be unpleasant and severe, and can make it difficult to stop the medications. Withdrawal symptoms differ with each antidepressant; the withdrawal symptoms associated with Paxil and Effexor have been found in studies to be more severe than those of other antidepressants.Unless your doctor has switched you to another antidepressant, taper the medication. The best way to avoid withdrawal side effects is to wean yourself off the medication gradually, carefully following your provider's instructions. If you reduce the dosage in small increments, the brain can slowly adapt to the absence of the drug. This weaning process generally will take 2 to 4 weeks, but your brain's adaptation to the absence of the medication can take from several months to a year, depending on the person, the medication, and the original dosage. If you suffer a recurrence of depression or severe discontinuation symptoms, your provider may recommend you go back to a higher dose and withdraw more slowly.Time it right. It's best to go off these medications when the factors that caused your condition are somewhat resolved or at least better controlled. It's also helpful to go off antidepressants when you're not under a lot of stress or going through a major life change.Exercise regularly. Many studies have found exercise can help lift mood, boost energy, and manage stress, anxiety, and insomnia, so it's likely to make the transition from using to not using an antidepressant medication less traumatic.People do not experience psychological craving or addiction for SSRIs. However, since stopping abruptly has the potential to cause unpleasant or severe symptoms, it's not something you should ever do on your own.

*After about 10 seconds or so of the video plays, Morgan Freeman's voice can be heard saying:*
"In the movie 'Pulp Fiction', Jules Winnfield recites ritually a passage that reads like this; "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.".

Jan Van Quirm wrote:
Dios' tomb is open because he uses it quite frequently to recharge his mortal body enough to keep going as High Priest - I can't remember whether it's said he locks it up in some way, but given that the earliest mummies (including Khuft?) may have known he had one for himself perhaps they have broken into it to try and nail the horrible git.
While I don't disagree really with what you said in your full post, I realize I didn't make myself clear in one respect (or at least I think I didn't). Dios is lying when he tells Teppic that he has a tomb which one of the prior rulers had made for him. Yes indeed there is a tomb that he uses to recharge himself--and has for 7000 years. It's Khuft's tomb - as we realize when Teppicymon, Gern and Dil reach Khuft's tomb, find it open and find the marks inside.
And if you look at the 2nd page of the paperback , there is a description of Dios as he gets up after "recharging himself" Terry writes:
"He swung his legs off the slab in the little chamber. With barely a conscious prompting from his brain his right hand grasped the snake-entwined staff of office. He paused to make another mark on the wall, pulled his robe around him and stepped smartly down the sloping passage and out into the sunlight, the words of the Invocation of the New Sun already lining up in his mind. The night was forgotten, the day was ahead. There was much careful advice and guidance to be given, and Dios existed only to serve.
Dios didn't have the oddest bedroom in the world. It was just the oddest bedroom anyone has ever walked out of."
Now it seems clear to me that Terry makes this tomb that Dios rests in the tomb of Khuft--found empty with markings at a later time. The question is, if Dios isn't Khuft (and I don't think he is), then where is Khuft?
The problem with this book is that Terry is trying to do too many things. Some of what he does is indeed pretty much slapstick--having Dios stopped by the spit of a camel comes close to that. But on the other hand, this isn't your average camel.
And if you look at Dios "transportation" to the beginning of the Kingdom, it does correspond somewhat to what Khuft told Teppic (in Teppic's dream) about how the Valley came to be. So my question, perhaps re-pharased is if Dios isn't Khuft, then where is Khuft?

I hope Mimi keep all the monies she got from this tape because she will need it and more to send her daughter to therapy which will be for a very long time. Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars she got is not enough for therapy – I guess she will be making more homemade tape as she claim it was (liar). When your daughter start taking drugs or drinking don't ask why – just look at your homemade tape

What I think it's really sad that everyone keep speaking on mimi's daughter, MIMI you are a good mom, they say your daughter need therapy if that was the case every black woman and some white woman that deal with black men need therapy and so do the kids. What a child wants—I want Mac Donald's mommy–baby I can't afford it. Mommy need to call my friend over and let him spend the nite I know he will leave a couple to three hundreds dollars on the bar when he leave. Ok I just sold my soul to the devil for a few hundreds left on my bar now I can get her mc Donald's now. We have a white girl that did a sex tape with a black man it got leaked and she didn't get paid but she got a life time and a life style for her whole entire family now she has a child by another black man so the little baby will have to go to two therapy session (1) her mom has a sex tape (2) her daddy is black. Hahaha hahaha!!!! That old saying all money is not good money but no money ain't fun either.

There's talk of them doing another tape. To me that's proof that Mimi knew what she was doing. We live in the land of lawyers and lawsuits, if she really wanted to put a halt to this tape she could have sued Vivid and the person who supposedly brought the tape to them.
You know whar was funny? Nikko & Mimi looking like deer caught in headlights when Vlad brought up the moving camera.

Science Fiction writer Robert Heinlein also used the family name "Scudder" for a despicable villain (in this case, Nehemiah Scudder, a backwoods preacher who becomes a theocratic dictator of The United States) in the story "If This Goes On—". It was published in 1953 - four years before "Atlas Shrugged" - but there is no evidence of a direct influence between the two.
Later, after Dagny instructs the train crew how to proceed, he asks a co-worker who she is, and learns she is the one who runs Taggart Transcontinental.
It is later discovered that the unknown brakeman is one of the strikers, when Dagny finds him working in Galt's Gulch as an employee of Ellis Wyatt and an apprentice to Richard Halley. Brakeman appears in sections 112 and 113.
Dagny Taggart is the protagonist of the novel, and, in general, it is Dagny's perception of the battle between John Galt and the Looters that is the readers'. She holds the title of 'Operating Vice-President in Charge of Operations' of Taggart Transcontinental, under her brother, James Taggart. However, due to James' incompetence, it is Dagny that is actually responsible for all the workings of the railroad.
Taggart has romantic relationships with three men of ability: Francisco d'Anconia, Hank Rearden, and John Galt. Ultimately, she ends up with Galt, on account of the superiority of his talents and qualities. Nonetheless, she remains on good terms with the other two, despite ending her sexual relationships with them.
Dagny personifies the typical struggle within many capitalists: when to stop trying to change the social policies that impinge on capitalist goals. Hers is the most unusual perspective in the book, as she has one foot in each camp. She tries to "fix" the social policies of the government while still maintaining her belief in free enterprise. The ultimate lesson taught through Dagny is that reason cannot triumph over unreason until the unreasonable perish.
She is a typical Randian heroine, similar to Dominique Francon (The Fountainhead) or Kira Argounova (We the Living).
Dagny appears in sections 112, 113, 114, 132, 133, 141, 145, 146, 147, 148, 151, 152, and 161.
The dialogue between Dan Conway and Dagny Taggart, with her urging Conway to fight the unjust decision taken against him and Conway refusing, is reminiscent of Plato's famous dialogue "Crito", where Crito of Alopece in vain urges the philosopher Socrates to flee the death punishment unjustly imposed on him. Socrates' basic argument - that he has obliged himself to abide by the laws of Athens, and must go on doing so even when the laws are unjust - is essentially the same as that offered by Conway who feels honour bound to abide by the rulings of the National Alliance of Railroads. Conway - who "seldom read books and never went to college" - would not be familiar with the philosophy of Socrates, but Rand certainty was. The comparison shows Rand taking the opposite view to that of Socrates - which is unsurprising, given that Socrates' position in the dialogue was in fact that of Plato, and Rand deeply loathed Plato and regarded him as the spiritual ancestor of Ellsworth Toohey.
Later, when Dagny meets him in the hidden valley where his energies are not encountering futile daily obstructions, there is little of that violence to be seen. Ellis Wyatt is mentioned or appears in sections 111, 114, 132, 146, 147, 148, and 152.
Francisco began working on the sly as a teenager in order to learn all he could about business. While still a student at Patrick Henry University, a classmate of John Galt and Ragnar Danneskjöld and student of both Hugh Akston and Robert Stadler, he began working at a copper foundry, and investing in the stock market. By the time he was twenty he had made enough to purchase the foundry. He began working for d'Anconia Copper as assistant superintendent of a mine in Montana, but was quickly promoted to head of the New York office. In this way he proved that, though unlike other charcters he was born to wealth and power, he could have made a successful career all by himself. He took over d'Anconia Copper at age 23, after the death of his father.
When he was 26, Francisco secretly joined the Strikers and began to slowly destroy the d'Anconia empire so the Looters could not get it. He adopted the persona of a worthless playboy, by which he is known to the world, as an effective cover.
He was the childhood friend of Dagny Taggart and Eddie Willers and later became Dagny's lover. Giving her up - since, knowing her intimately, he knew she would not be ready to join the strikers - was the hardest part for him. He remains deeply in love with her to the end of the book, while also being a good and loyal friend of her other two lovers, John Galt and Hank Rearden.
His full name is Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastián d'Anconia.
Francisco d'Anconia appears or is mentioned in sections 132, 141, 144, 151, and 152 - this last section includes a detailed history of his life.
Fred Kinnan is a labour leader and member of the looter cabal. Unlike the others, however, Kinnan is straightforward and honest about his purpose. At the meeting to decide on whether to enact Directive 10-289 (giving government sweeping powers over industry) Kinnan is the only one to openly state the true motivations of himself and his fellow conspirators.
At the end of Galt's 3 hour speech, he expresses admiration for the man, as he says what he means. Despite this, Kinnan admits that he is one of the people Galt is out to destroy.
He is a demanding employer, intolerant of sloppy work, but pays his workers salaries "above any union scale". He arouses a strong feeling of loyalty among the workers, and was never faced with a strike.
He lives in Transwiki:Places in Atlas Shrugged with his wife Lillian, his brother Philip, and his elderly mother (whose name never appears in the book), all of whom he supports. Gwen Ives is his secretary.
The character of Hank Rearden has two important roles to play in the novel. First, he is aware that there is something wrong with the world but is unsure of what it is. Rearden is guided toward an understanding of the solution through his friendship with Francisco d'Anconia, who does know the secret, and by this mechanism the reader is also prepared to understand the secret when it is revealed explicitly in Galt's Speech.
Second, Rearden is used to illustrate Rand's theory of sex. Lillian Rearden cannot appreciate Hank Rearden's virtues, and she is portrayed as being disgusted by sex. Dagny Taggart clearly does appreciate Rearden's virtues, and this appreciation evolves into a sexual desire. Rearden is torn by a contradiction because he accepts the premises of the traditional view of sex as a lower instinct, while responding sexually to Dagny, who represents his highest values. Rearden struggles to resolve this internal conflict and in doing so illustrates Rand's sexual theory. Rearden appears in sections 121, 132, 147, and 161, and is mentioned in sections 114 and 131.
"Rearden" is a variety of "Riordan", a surname of Irish origin. There are, however, no specific Irish characteristics in the depiction of Hank Rearden, and it is clearly implied that his family had been in America for several generations.
As the novel progresses, the moral philosophy of the Looters is revealed: it is a code of stagnation. The goal of this code is to not exist, to not move forward, to become a zero. Taggart struggles to remain unaware that this is his goal. He maintains his pretense that he wants to live, and becomes horrified whenever his mind starts to grasp the truth about himself. This contradiction leads to the recurring absurdity of his life: the desire to destroy those on whom his life depends, and the horror that he will succeed at this. In the final chapters of the novel, he suffers a complete mental breakdown upon realizing that he can no longer deceive himself in this respect.
In the introduction to the 35th anniversary edition, (1991), Leonard Peikoff introduced excerpts from Rand's journals concerning the book. Among other things, it is disclosed that as originally conceived James Taggart was religious, regularly going to a priest to confess his sins and ask for absolution. There is no hint of this in the final version as published. Presumably, however, this "asking for absolution" was connected with the above-mentioned hiding of Taggart's real goal from himself.
This also implies that the Taggart Family was originally conceived as being of Roman Catholic background, of which also there is little trace left in the published version. It fits well with the Taggarts' long-standing friendship with the Latin American D'Anconia Family.
James Taggart appears in sections 111, 114, 131, 132, 143, 144, 152 and 161, and is mentioned in sections 146 and 148.
The enigmatic John Galt is the male hero of Atlas Shrugged, and typifies the Randian hero. By trade, he is an engineer, and has developed a revolutionary new motor powered by ambient static electricity that has the potential to change the world. However, in disgust at the collectivization forced upon him at his workplace at the Twentieth Century Motor Company, he goes on strike, depriving the world of his invaluable invention.
To increase the impact, he persuades each individual of talent whom he considers to share his own ethical creed, to join him on strike, in a secret and secluded hiding place called Galt's Gulch. Amongst them are Francisco d'Anconia and Ragnar Danneskjöld, with whom he had studied at Patrick Henry University. At first, Dagny Taggart considered Galt to be a destructive force, and grants him the epithet 'the Destroyer'. However, when she is convinced of the futility of her own struggle, and the nobility of Galt's, she falls in love with him.
John Galt's name is enshrined in the question "Who is John Galt?" The phrase is used popularly as an expression of helplessness and despair at the sorry state of the world. The answer is expressed in a range of legends: none of which is entirely true, but all of which reflect an aspect of his achievements and labours.
Lillian is a frigid Moocher who seeks to destroy her husband. She compares being Rearden's wife with owning the world's most powerful horse. Since she cannot comfortably ride a horse that goes too fast, she must bridle it down to her level, even if that means it will never reach its full potential and its power will be grievously wasted.
Lillian also serves to illustrate Rand's Theory of sex. Lillian believes sex is a base animal instinct and that sexual indulgence is a sign of moral weakness. She is incapable of feeling this kind of desire, which she believes testifies to her moral superiority. However, according to the theory of sex, Lillian's lack of sexual capacity results from her inability to experience value in herself; she is therefore unable to respond sexually when she experiences value in others.
Lillian tolerates sex with her husband only because she is 'realistic' enough to know he is just a brute who requires satisfaction of his brute instincts. In section 161 she indicates that she abhors Francisco d'Anconia, because she believes he is a sexual adventurer. Lillian Rearden appears in sections 121 and 161.
Ragnar seizes relief ships that are being sent from the Transwiki:Places in Atlas Shrugged to Transwiki:Places in Atlas Shrugged. As the novel progresses, Ragnar begins, for the first time, to become active in American waters, and is even spotted in Transwiki:Places in Atlas Shrugged. Reportedly, his ship is better than any available in the fleets of the world's navies.
People assume that as a pirate he simply takes the seized goods to himself. However, while many other protagonists take pride in making a personal profit from the proceeds of their creativity, Danneskjöld's motivation is to restore to other creative people the money which was unjustly taken away from them - specifically, their income tax payments.
For that purpose, Danneskjöld maintains a network of informants in the US Internal Revenue Service (and possibly also those of other countries) who provide him with detailed copies of the tax receipts; among other talents, Danneskjöld is mentioned as being a skilled accountant. The proceeds from the goods he seizes (presumably minus his operating expenses) are deposited in accounts opened in Midas Mulligan's bank in the names of various industrialists, to the amounts of the income tax taken from them - which are handed to them (in gold) upon their joining the Strikers.
Kept in the background for much of the book, Danneskjöld makes a personal appearance when he risks his life to meet Hank Rearden in the night and hand him a bar of gold as an "advance payment", to encourage Rearden to persevere in his increasingly difficult situation.
As a robber with ideological principles, Danneskjöld superficially resembles the opposite or negative of Robin Hood; he considers Robin Hood as an arch-enemy which he had sworn to pursue and destroy - or rather, not Robin Hood the person, who is long dead, but the principle that it is permissible to rob the rich and give to the poor, a principle which in Danneskjöld's (and Rand's) view is highly pernicious.
In the conversation with Rearden, Danneskjöld claims to limit himself to attacks on government property and never touch private property. This contradicts previous chapters where there is mention of Danneskjöld sinking ships belonging to D'anconia Copper and destroying Orren Boyle's plant on the coast of Maine, where Boyle attempted to produce Rearden Metal. However, the first does not truly constitute robbery, since it was done with the consent of and in collusion with the owner, Danneskjöld's old friend Francisco D'anconia, and was aimed at helping Francisco's efforts to destroy his own company. And the second was in reaction to Boyle having violated, with government sanction, Rearden's intellectual property (the term did not yet exist at the time of writing).
Danneskjöld is married to the former actress Kay Ludlow - a relationship kept hidden from the outside world, which only knows of Ludlow as a former famous film star who retired and dropped out of sight. It is mentioned that some of the Strikers have strong reservations about his way of "conducting the common struggle".
Members of Danneskjöld's crew, other than himself, are never named nor appear in the book. Evidently, they are not given access of the hidden valley where their captain sometimes goes, nor - on the basis of need to know - are they given its location, which they might give away if captured.
Such a prolonged and successful piratical career would require a secret haven, probably on the Atlantic Coast of the US. In the end of the book, Danneskjöld's crew are mentioned as preparing to form a new community, while his ship would be converted into "a modest ocean liner". Danneskjöld himself refreshes his knowledge of Aristotle and prepares to become a full-time philosopher, and it is hinted that posterity might remember him mainly as Hugh Akston's disciple rather than as a pirate.
According to Ayn Rand (verbal report), his name is a tribute to Victor Hugo. In Hugo's first novel, Hans of Iceland, the hero becomes the first of the Counts of Danneskjöld. His name may be a pun on 'Dane's Gold', although "skjold" means shield, not gold. The first name "Ragnar" recalls Ragnar Lodbrok, one of the most famous of the viking leaders (to whose many piratical exploits no motive other than seeking loot was ever attributed). Ragnar Danneskjöld appears in section 161.
However, there are some inaccuracies. 'Ö' is not a Norwegian letter, but a Swedish one; its Norwegian equivalent is 'ø'. "Skjöld" and "skjøld" still exists in Scandinavian surnames and is an old fashioned spelling of the word for "shield", that is now "skjold" (Norwegian) and "sköld" (Swedish). Also, there is actually no noble class in Norway, as the Black Death of the Middle Ages forced any survivors to revert to subsistence farming, and nobility itself was officially abolished by the Storting in 1821.
A possible inspiration might be Norwegian Trygve Hoff that Ayn Rand knew. Hoff was the editor of the Farmand business magazine and outspoken free market capitalist. Trygve Hoff was of an old fine Norwegian family "Hoff" owning grand estates outside the city of Tønsberg in Norway. Tryge Hoff was married to the Norwegian actress Aase Bye. Hoff was an admirer of Aristotle and a collector of ancient busts. Hoff also had the kind of hero-like looks Ayn Rand liked, similar looks to her husband Frank O'Conor.
According to Barbara Branden, who was closely associated with Rand at the time the book was written, there were sections written describing directly Danneskjöld's adventures at sea which were cut out from the final published text.
A young bureaucrat sent by the government to watch over Rearden's mills. Though he starts out as a cynical follower of the looters' code, his experience at the mills transforms him, and he comes to respect and admire the producers. He is shot attempting to inform Hank Rearden about a government plot, but does succeed in warning Rearden just before he dies.
In the introduction to the 35th anniversary edition, (1991), Leonard Peikoff introduced excerpts from Rand's journals concerning the book, which she originally intended to call "The Strike". Among many other things, the journals reveal some characters which were originally planned to appear in the book and were deleted from the final version.
Peikoff tells that "Father Amadeus was Taggart's priest, to whom he confessed his sins. The priest was supposed to be a positive character honestly devoted to the good but practicing consistently the morality of mercy. Miss Rand dropped him, she told me, when she found that it was impossible to make such a character convincing."
The quotation from Rand's journals included a passage describing what John Galt represented to each main characters. That included the following: "For Father Amadeus [Galt represents] the source of the conflict. The uneasy realisation that Galt is the end of his endeavors, the man of virtue, the perfect man - and that his means do not fit this end (and that he is destroying this, his ideal, for the sake of those who are evil)."(See )
Interestingly, Rand successfully did something similar in her very first book, "We the Living". There, one of the main characters is a Communist, Andrei Taganov, who definitely can be described, in a paraphrase of the above, as "a positive character honestly devoted to the good but practicing consistently the ideology of Marxism". In other words, a very idealistic and dedicated Communist, who is totally devoted to the Party and is willing to lay down his life for Communism, yet is a sympathetic (and convincing) major character in a book which is as anti-Communist as can be. (Andrei is, moreover, the lover of the book's heroine Kira, which Rand explicitly described as representing herself in character though not in specific biographical details).
Peikoff also mentions that as originally conceived the book was going to have a character named Stacy Rearden, a sister of Hank Rearden. Not much is told of what her role was supposed to be and why she was eventually dropped. Apparently, she was going to be another parasite like Rearden's brother, mother and wife; presumably, Rand came to the conclusion that three such characters around Rearden sufficiently fulfilled her literary and philosophical purposes.

By Claire Walla
Inspector Stuart Cameron held all the attention in the room. Standing straight and tall in a navy blue uniform adorned with a bright badge, which stood out against the rows of young adult novels that are usually the focal point in the Pierson Middle/High School library, Cameron faced the Sag Harbor Board of Education and proceeded to talk about drug-sniffing dogs.
As commander of the Suffolk County Police Department's special control bureau, Cameron said he recently initiated the effort to bring drug-sniffing dogs into schools across Suffolk County. The Suffolk County K-9 unit has to date visited seven different school districts, two of them this year, he said, although "neither resulted in an arrest."
Cameron was asked to give a presentation on the Suffolk County K-9 unit at Monday's school board meeting, January 23, in anticipation of the Sag Harbor School District taking proactive measures to bring drug-sniffing dogs to the middle/high school campus sometime this year.
Cameron explained that the police dogs are trained to detect several illegal substances, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin and crack.
"Because of the insurgence of heroin [in Suffolk County], we thought it would be appropriate to use them in schools," he said of the dogs.
School board members note that heroine is not part of the problem they've noticed at Pierson, but marijuana is.
Cameron continued by explaining how the drug-sniffing procedure would work.
"We came up with a program that's very conservative," he began.
Working in conjunction with Sag Harbor Village Police Chief Tom Fabiano, who will be the local law enforcement liaison, Suffolk County police would conduct a "non-targeted sniff," as opposed to a full-blown search. In the instance of such a "sniff," Cameron said, District Superintendent Dr. John Gratto and Pierson Principal Jeff Nichols would be asked to identify a general area where there are student lockers, which the K-9 unit would explore.
Cameron asked that the administrators also identify the beginning of a class period when the dogs could be brought on campus. In this way, all students would be asked to remain in their classrooms during the course of the "sniff." The procedure, as it's currently laid out, would prevent dogs from actively sniffing-out any drugs potentially located in classrooms — either in students' backpacks or carried on their person.
"At this time, [the program] is solely geared toward lockers and school facilities," Cameron said. "Our goal is to provide a service, not to interfere with school operations."
Also, before Suffolk County Police would bring dogs onto the Pierson campus, Cameron said he would require the district to send a letter to all parents that explains the drug-sniffing procedure, as well as the district's policy on the matter. Included in this letter would be legal explanations of what a "sniff" fully entails, as well as a clear explanation of the district's regulation over student lockers.
According to Cameron, "the scope of the letter [sent to parents] should include the fact that the school owns all locks and lockers, and that lockers can be subject to search without advanced knowledge."
It should also be made clear, he said, that students are not permitted to share their lockers with other students, because ultimately "they are solely responsible for whatever's inside."
When asked whether he felt teachers would have enough knowledge of police procedures before a potential "sniff" were to take place, Nichols explained that all teachers have already been trained in how to conduct their classrooms during lock-down — and this scenario would not be much different.
According to Dr. Gratto, at the start of the class period during which the dogs will be brought on campus, Nichols would get on the P.A. system and require that everyone stay in classrooms until further notice.
"The announcement that would be made is that we're going into lock-down," Nichols added.
In the end, Dr. Gratto noted, this would be a precautionary measure meant to deter students from bringing illegal substances on campus. But, should any student be found to be in possession of any drugs, he said the school would first report the incident to police. (Chief Fabiano would be on-hand to make any potential arrests.)
"But, our interest is in having a save environment," Dr. Gratto continued. "That student would be strongly encouraged to attend counseling. That would be a major component of what we do."
Sag Harbor School Board members unanimously approved the first reading of the school's new policy on drug-sniffing dogs. The second and final reading will be on February 9.

Voting Rights Lose in Pennsylvania
Let's imagine a world in which Pennsylvania's voter-ID law did not disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters. The law, which requires voters show government-issued identification in order to vote, has created significant burdens for voters without IDs, a population disproportionately made up of poor people and minorities. In our imaginary world, the state would do a stellar job of educating voters, reaching out to African Americans—who disproportionately lack state IDs—and Spanish-language media. They would send postcards as early as possible to tell every voter in the state about the change. A "card of last resort" would be available to any voter who could not easily access the required documents for a standard ID, which include a birth certificate and a Social Security card. Employees at the state's driver's license centers would be well-versed in the law and give voters advice about what was needed and what they were entitled to receive for free. Election workers would be well-trained and poll places would have provisional ballots for those who did not have ID on election day. If every single component of that implementation went perfectly, then maybe the law would not have the disastrous impact that almost all voting-rights activists predict it will have.
According to Pennsylvania Commonwealth Judge Robert Simpson, the mere possibility of that counterfactual scenario is enough. This morning, the judge denied a request from four voting-rights groups to block the law. The lawsuit will now head to the state supreme court—"as quickly as possible," says Penda Hair, executive director for the Advancement Project, one of the parties to the suit.
Over the phone, Hair was deflated. "It's a very sad day for democracy," she said.
Simpson's decision centered on a few key legal questions: Whether the law was unconstitutional "on its face"—as opposed to in practice—and what standard should be applied to judge its constitutionality. In evaluating laws, judges apply different standards. "Strict scrutiny" is an elevated standard, which is most typically applied when the law in question targets minorities or involves a fundamental right; to be ruled constitutional, the law must be narrowly tailored, serve a "compelling state interest," and be the only way the state can achieve the intended effect. In other words, the state has the burden of showing that we really, really need this law. The "rational basis" is much more lenient—all the state has to show is that the law serves some legitimate purpose (i.e., that it's not totally frivolous). In his lengthy opinion, the judge determined that, based on prior cases, including the U.S. Supreme Court case over Indiana's voter-ID law, a strict scrutiny test was not "the appropriate measure" for the case. Because of this, the law's proponents did not need to show that the Pennsylvania law served a "compelling state interest." In other words, even though the law was ostensibly passed to prevent voter fraud, the fact there is no voter-fraud problem in the state doesn't matter. Simpson also wrote that the plaintiffs' case hinged on the many things that would or could go wrong, but that the law was not unconstitutional as written—the plaintiffs would have to wait until after the election to see if it had been harmful.
In a conference call with Hair and the other plaintiffs' lawyers, the legal team was eager to point out that should the state Supreme Court subject the law to stricter scrutiny, they would stand a much better chance of winning. The lawyers pointed to cases in Missouri and Wisconsin, where courts found that similar voter-ID laws violated their state constitutions, based on a strict-scrutiny test. Simpson had relied more heavily on precedent from a U.S. Supreme Court case that ruled on violations to the federal Constitution—a different argument than the one the plaintiffs were making.
Hair had harsh words for the judge's decision. The ruling implied "voters have to wait until after the election, after they're barred from voting, and then you can show that the harm is actually applied to them," she said. "To protect your right to vote you have to lose your right to vote in one important election. That's the only way I can read this."
In the conference call, attorney David Gersch was even more blunt. "The court was wrong about that," he said, pointing to the judge's acknowledgement that certainly more than 1 percent of voters would be impacted. In Pennsylvania that means at least 89,000 people may lose a fundamental right.
The state has talked a lot about its plans for voter outreach and making it easier to obtain an ID. But so far, the only thing the state has done is to allow those born in Pennsylvania to retrieve a "certified birth record" by providing their personal information at a driver's license center. It's easier than obtaining a birth certificate for sure, but it still requires two trips—one to request the record and another to get an ID. There are other measures in the works: For those lacking documents, an ID "of last resort" is supposed to become available by the end of August, and by the end of September, postcards will go out to every voting household in the state informing people of the new law. Pennsylvania has also hired a PR company to do media outreach.
But many doubt these efforts will be sufficient. The PR company the state hired is controlled by Republicans, which some say will be disinclined to alert poor and nonwhite voters—voters who lean Democratic—about the law. It is also unclear how many people—and where—the law will affect. The state's data showed more than 750,000 without a state ID, but that data has significant flaws. In testimony, a state official explained that he expected fewer than 10,000 IDs to be issued for voting purposes.
Voting-rights advocates are suspicious of the state's efforts. The Pennsylvania Voter ID Coalition, made up of 140 civic, religious and voting-rights groups, has opted not to educate any voters on the "card of last resort" until it's actually available, since the state doesn't always make its deadlines. Meanwhile, several studies have shown that employees at the driver's license centers are not sufficiently familiar with the law and have misinformed voters about the rules.
Judge Simpson, however, put great faith in the state's voter-outreach efforts. He was dismissive of the plaintiff's expert witness, a political scientist who showed through survey research that a third of voters were unaware of the law and as much as 12.6 percent of the state's registered voters may lack the necessary ID. "I am not convinced any qualified elector need be disenfranchised by Act 18," Simpson wrote, pointing to absentee voting and provisional ballot options for those struggling meet the requirements.
Oddly, however, the judge did acknowledge that the law would hurt voter access. He gave the plaintiffs credit for establishing that the law would prevent some legitimate voters from casting ballots and that some would unfairly be charged for their IDs. He even addressed statements from Mike Turzai, the Republican House Majority Leader who said in an audience that voter ID would ensure a Romney victory, calling the statements "disturbing, tendentious" and "boastful." But he chose to believe Turzai was alone in his cynical and partisan views, and decided granting the injunction would do more to hurt than help the problems.
To Hair, Simpson's opinion amounts to a punt to the state Supreme Court. "I interpret it as the lower court saying, 'If I make a ruling one way or another and then the Supreme Court changes that ruling on appeal, which is going to be worse?" she said. (As I've written, this is a concern many activists have had about the ruling.) Hair is already focusing on the Supreme Court, where she believes the plaintiffs can prove that with so many impacted, the law creates an undue burden.
"There won't be a question that close to a million people will be affected by this law," she says. "You don't need to show absolutely without any doubt that you will be barred from voting. We showed massive burdens that these voters have to overcome."
"We believe that just like the poll tax wasn't an absolute barrier—you could pay the tax and vote—overcoming these burdens should not be a requirement."

There are lots of states where voter ID is required (mine for instance) The only reason someone would NOT want voter ID is if they wanted to cheat the vote. Requiring everyone to have an ID would not cheat a single person out of a vote. Think about it.

it is a LIE that "12.6 percent of the state's registered voters may lack the necessary ID" You have to have an ID in order to register. The only reason you would not want voter IDs is if you are ineligible to vote. Period!

This is a total load of crap, Abby. Nobody's "voter rights" have been taken away. The only difference is that now you have to show ID at the polls in order to vote to prove that you really are who you claim to be, which strikes me as a totally reasonable precaution.
Truth be told, very few people in our society today truly do not have some form of government-issued ID. I always laugh when I hear students lumped in with the groups that will supposedly be "disenrfanchised" by voter ID laws. Seriously now ... When was the last time you ever came across a student without an ID????
In today's society, we all routinely have to show ID to do any one of a hundred different things, such as check out a book at the library, purchase alcholic beverages, apply for a job, rent an apartment, board an airplane, cash a check, open up a bank account, apply for food stamps, pick up the bi-weekly welfare check, etc, etc, etc. It strains believablity to the extreme to believe that there are thousands of people out there who supposedly have no form of ID whatsoever. You simply can't function in our society without one unless you're truly living out on the street.
But for those who truly do not have one and who want to vote, Pennsylvania's voter ID law states that the state will issue them an ID card at no cost and will even, if requested, come by and pick them up to take them where they need to go. All that's required is that the person make a simple phone call. If they're not willing to make that minimal effort, fine. Let them stay at home on election day because voting obviously isn't that important to them.
This whole thing is about Democrats not wanting to lose votes, given that 99.9% of people who vote fraudulently vote for Democrats. The whole "denial of voter rights thing" is a total smokescreen. It's painfully obvious, which is why 75% of the public supports voter ID laws.

OXFORD – The 109th Egg Bowl did not disappoint.
It also sported the longest run in series history.
After Ole Miss took an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter, Mississippi State sophomore wide receiver Jameon Lewis took the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a score.
"I just did what coach (told) me to do," Lewis said. "The blocking was set up, so I just ran. I didn't have too much to do. They were blocking real good for me."
It was the longest play in Egg Bowl history.
The kickoff return was also the fifth 100-yard play in the 113-year history of MSU football. Three have been kickoff returns and two have been interceptions.
It was also the fourth 100-yard play in the Southeastern Conference in 2012.
Lewis's kickoff return touchdown was the first for the Bulldogs since Oct. 2, 2010 when when Leon Berry ran one back for 97 yards against Alcorn State.
It is the first in league play since Kevin Prentiss' 91-yard kickoff return for a score against South Carolina on Sept. 26, 1998.
Russell yet again
in record book
Junior quarterback Tyler Russell has already had a great season.
Saturday night his just added to what has already been a career setting year.
Russell found Chad Bumphis for a 42-yard passing score late in the first quarter to give him 24 total scores this season.
That ties Jackie Parker's 60-year old single-season school record for touchdowns responsible. Parker set the mark in 1952.
Russell is now in sixth place at Mississippi State in career passing yardage with 4,460 yards.
Russell passed for 268 yards. That gives him eight 200-yard passing games this season and is a school record.
He now has nine 200-yard passing games in his career it is tied for fourth in MSU history.
The Bulldogs also broke the single-season school record for passing completions in a season with 237.
They are also tied for third in passing attempts in a season with 395.
Lawrence continues
to shine for Bulldogs
Senior linebacker Cameron Lawrence has been a force in the middle for the Bulldog defense this year.
He picked off two Bo Wallace passes in the first half.
He is the third Bulldog this season to have two interceptions in the same game. Johnthan Banks had two against Auburn on Sept. 8 and Darius Slay had two against Troy on Sept. 15.
Lawrence ended the night with 13 total tackles. That gives him three consecutive games with double-digit tackles this season.
Lawrence also had three tackles for loss.
Perkins having great
year with all-purpose yards
Junior tailback LaDarius Perkins passed Mardye McDole for sixth all-time in career all purpose yards.
Perkins now has 3,379. McDole had 3,353 from 1977-80.
He now has 1,425 all-purpose yards for the season and it is sixth all-time at MSU.
Bulldogs win turnover battle
but lose the ballgame
MSU is 23-2 under Dan Mullen when they win the turnover margin.
The Bulldogs were plus one in the turnover margin department, but ended up losing the game.
The Bulldogs trailed 34-17 entering the final period. The Bulldogs are now 0-19 under Mullen when trailing entering the fourth quarter.
Mullen has yet to be shutout in 50 games as the head man at MSU. It is the third longest stretch at MSU.
Bulldogs continue
to pick up first downs
The Bulldogs picked up 17 first downs against the Rebels.
That gives them 244 for the season and moves the 2012 Bulldogs into second place in single season first downs.

|Best Wines for the Passover Seder
From Guest Oenophile, Yossie Horwitz
The weeks leading up to Passover are among the US kosher wine industry's busiest, with more kosher wine sold during this period than the rest of the year combined. As the popularity of quality kosher wine continues to increase, the quality and variety of wines available to the kosher wine consumer are astounding. While truly a blessing, the tremendous choice can make for a somewhat overwhelming shopping experience. To assist with holiday shopping, every year I put together my Passover Kosher Wine Guide, listing over 100 recommended wines in varying price ranges that would enhance a Seder table. While comprehensive, 130 wines can still be an overwhelming number of choices so, especially for KosherEye readers; I have selected my ten favorite wines in each price range (the entire list can be viewed here).
Given ones desire to honor the Seder, people tend to have the nicest wines possible, typically full-bodied Bordeaux-blends or robust Cabernet Sauvignon wines requiring time and appreciation. Being a traditionalist, I tend to choose red wines for all four cups. It is the holiday of freedom, so top quality wine is still a requirement. Therefore, I look for top quality, medium bodied and relatively simple wines. Some perennial favorites of mine include Recanati's Reserve Petit Sirah-Zinfandel, the Capcanes Peraj Petita are two new arrivals – the Yarden's Odem Merlot and the Domaine Netofa 2009. To the extent you are looking for well-priced whites, Yarden's Odem Chardonnay, Recanati's Chardonnay or Yarden's Viognier are all good and affordable bets.
"Best Of" Annual Passover Kosher Wine Buying Guide
Under $15.99:
1. Barkan, Classic, Pinot Noir, 2009
1. Carmel, Sha'al Late Harvest, Gewurztraminer, 2006
Moshiach Wines
1. Carmel, Limited Edition, 2005. Another example of Carmel's move from power to elegance. An amazing wine that will age gracefully and provide years of enjoyment but is also ready to enjoy right now.

Is that a row of iMacs at the 'bridge'? If so, that's insane, but I like the two domes at the top. They look like the shield generators of an Imperial Star Destroyer, which is quite fitting. It's not hard to imagine this as a big gay Star Destroyer, with Steve as Darth in a white robotic life support suit.

Jobs's yacht project might seem a little out of character at first. After all, the billionaire was famously humble about many aspects of his lifestyle. He lived in a normal house on a normal suburban street in Palo Alto, California, not some massive mansion out in the mountains. He wore jeans, a black turtleneck sweater and New Balance tennis shoes, a basically thrifty choice for a man who could afford his own cashmere farm. He also drove a very nice car, but it wasn't rapper nice. That is, it wasn't a Bentley or an Aston Martin or a Maybach -- just a Mercedes. (Ok, now we're stretching the humble thing, but you get the point.)

Rated 2 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Are these really skinnies? I purchased these in the petrol color, which is more of a dark gray than a black. The fit is off even though I went by the sizing recommendations. It was loose everywhere and looked nothing like the ones on the model. The price is good for the quality of the leather, but I couldn't justify purchasing these. 8.3.2012

New Book Chapter summary
The new NXT book that we, The NXT Step blogger team, have been working on is in full-swing. We can't comment (yet) on any specific robots that will be included in the book (there will be 9 of them with full building instructions and programming steps in a CAD format), but there will also be 9+ chapters from various blog contributors on different topics that readers might find of interest.
My chapter is on debugging and includes some tips on troubleshooting your NXT-G programs. Many of these will come as no surprise to experienced programmers, but newcomers to NXT-G (and programming, in general) will hopefully find some helpful stuff in there for helping with pesky programs.
We're working hard on this book - no expected due date yet, but it won't be too long. Some of my fellow contributors might chime in and give some hints about their book material, too. There are some things we can't talk about yet (such as the robots) but we'll answer the questions we can if you've got them...
I hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year - now it's back to work!

Bluetooth Chapter
I shall be contributing a chapter on Bluetooth, including: what is Bluetooth, how Bluetooth works with the Lego NXT, how to connect to the NXT with different Bluetooth software.
The rationale for this chapter is that Bluetooth is not familiar to many Lego NXT owners, and that it seems to be the cause of many requests for help.
I've got lots of Bluetooth dongles & software versions to try out ...

Looking forward to your new book. Hopefully, there will a few example pages to get an idea of what is in the book becuase our local book stores (B&N, Borders, etc) don't carry these types of technical books in the store for reviewing before buying. Since am in fairly new to this hobby I just ordered your previous books.
Thanks for your time,

Looking forward to this book being released. What other books do you recommend that include builing instructions and programming ideas? Is Yoshihito's a must have even though it is in Japanese?

"Is Yoshihito's a must have even though it is in Japanese?"
Well, if you're into collecting books on Mindstorms and always on the lookout for new ideas and good techniques, his book does provide.
I don't mind that I can't read most of the text - the pictures are sufficiently detailed that I can make out how his devices work.
Right now, there's just not that many books out yet on NXT... just do an Amazon search on "Mindstorms NXT" and you'll find 4 books listed - 2 aren't even out yet. Given that there were over 15 books released on the RCX, it's just a matter of waiting.

What did you learn in school today, Mr. Schauer?
Plenty--according to his opinion editorial, "Day at school highlights need to reverse school cuts," which appeared in the Macomb Daily. As a candidate for governor, Schauer spent the day at Armada High School learning first-hand what it means to be a student and a teacher in a Michigan public school.
Read about his day and the lessons he learned. For homework, he plans on building this new information into his education plan for Michigan students, school employees and school districts.

By Hyland's10 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jan 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.24 lbs (0.11 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Nintendo released the following statement:
We at Nintendo sincerely thank you for your continued patronage of our company's products. We would like to inform you that a portion of the network services offered through the Wii console will be discontinued starting June 28, 2013. We apologize to those of you currently using these services, and ask for your understanding.
Here's what will be going down on June 28:
- Forecast Channel
- News Channel
- Everybody Votes Channel
- Nintendo Channel
- Check Mii Out Channel
- Data exchange between Wii friends on WiiConnect24
This all means that Wii message exchanges via Wii Message Board, Mii exchanges via Mii Channel, and exchanges of messages or data in some game titles will no longer be possible.
How often did you use some of these services? Have you fully transitioned over the the Wii U?

The secret garden is no longer simply a storybook subject. In the Urban Garden of The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, Washington, D.C., one of the most spectacular outdoor wedding venues in D.C., your fairytale wedding dreams will come into full bloom.
For couples seeking unforgettable outdoor wedding venues in Washington, D.C., The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is an unparalleled option. Exchange vows outside, under a lush canopy of trees, in front of an intimate gathering of family and friends, then dine under the stars as the warm breeze of the Potomac gently brushes by.
For an incomparable indoor wedding, The Ritz-Carlton, Georgetown provides equally impressive venues. Our Fahrenheit ballroom is a modern industrial space with exposed brick, floor to ceiling windows, and exceptional views of the city. For a small affair, the Smokestack—a stunning space under our 130-foot smokestack, is unlike any other wedding venues anywhere in Georgetown, or the surrounding Washington DC area.
Discover our extraordinary wedding venues for yourself. Please contact us to request more information.
