"You can refuse this swab, you can refuse a breathalyzer, you can refuse to participate in a field sobriety test, you can refuse to answer questions," says criminal defense attorney Mark Gallagher. "Now, law enforcement doesn't like this advice, but we do still have a constitution."
ReasonTV's Tracy Oppenheimer sat down with Gallagher to discuss the latest addition to LAPD's arsenal: saliva swabs that allegedly detect drug use. Gallagher advises to always decline sobriety tests, especially because these saliva swabs have yet to prove their efficacy in determining if drivers are indeed impaired from marijuana or other illegal substances.
"It doesn't tell us when they took it [marijuana], or how much they took, and how is it affecting their ability to drive the vehicle. And that's really what we need to know, to know whether or not that person is a safety risk on the road," says Gallagher.
Gallagher also provides insight into the constitutionality of the saliva swab tests, when law enforcement needs a warrant, and when compliance is necessary in order to avoid penalties at the DMV.

]]>A new study (pdf) published in the Journal of Study on Alcohol and Drugs based on 361 high school students assessed one year apart finds that student drug testing "was not associated with changes in substance use, whereas perceived positive school climates were associated with a reduction in cigarette and marijuana initiation and a reduction in escalation of frequency of cigarette use."
The study also found that neither drug testing nor a "positive school climate" affected alcohol use, because, the study authors claim, it is "normative." The study defined a positive school climate based on asking students who were followed how they felt about whether: "(a) the rules in the school are clear, (b) teachers can handle problems in the school, and the level of respect between (c) students, (d) teachers for students, and (e) students for teachers is high."
Ten years ago, in the 2004-2005 academic year, one in seven school districts had some kind of random drug testing program. Sometimes the introduction of drug testing, or even drug dogs, in schools is met with thunderous applause. Sometimes some parents put up opposition. Parents at one high school in New Jersey have recently taken their school district to court looking for documents the district said showed drug testing was needed, but also claimed those documents were confidential and privileged. A state judge decided in the parents' favor, awarding them $7,500 in legal fees and ruling the school shouldn't have withheld documents and that using private e-mail didn't mean they could evade open records laws. You can put up a fight, or let the Marge Simpsons win.

]]>A district court judge in Florida granted summary judgment for the plaintiff in a case challenging the constitutionality of a law requiring welfare recipients to submit to drug testing. The law was in effect for four months after being passed in 2011, before being temporarily suspended by a court order. During that time only 2.6 percent of recipients tested positive for drugs, most commonly marijuana, according to the Miami Herald blog, which also cites a 1998 study that found welfare recipients in the state had a lower rate of drug use than the general population. The crux of the legal case against the drug testing, via the Herald:
But in the Dec. 31 ruling, the court agreed with the 11th Circuit's conclusion that "There is nothing so special or immediate about the government's interest in ensuring that TANF recipients are drug free so as to warrant suspension of the Fourth Amendment. The only known and shared characteristic of the individuals who would be subjected to Florida's mandatory drug testing program is that they are financially needy families with children. Yet, there is nothing inherent in the condition of being impoverished that supports the conclusion that there is a concrete danger that impoverished individuals are prone to drug use or that should drug use occur, that the lives of TANF recipients are fraught with such risks of injury to others that even a momentary lapse of attention can have disastrous consequences."
You can peruse the whole ruling here.

]]>Bad news from the open-air prison we call America today out of L.A., where cops are going to start demanding saliva samples from citizens it stops at DUI checkpoints who it finds suspiciously suspicious.
Details from SoCal public radio station KPCC website:
Starting this weekend, law enforcement in Los Angeles will begin expanded use of saliva swab test kits on drivers suspected of driving under the influence of drugs.....
The testing is already used at some LAPD DUI checkpoints and at three stations that have jails. A $520,000 grant awarded to the L.A. City Attorney's Office will expand the regular use of the test next year...
Do you gotta give them your spit? No. Legally, just your blood. God bless America!
State law requires drivers suspected of driving under the influence to submit to a blood test but they have the right to refuse the swab. The oral test is voluntary, said deputy city attorney Michelle DeCasas...
Feuer said the rise of medical marijuana dispensaries has led more drivers, including lawful card-carrying users, to get behind the wheel under the influence of the drug.
The oral swab tests can detect tetrahydrocannabinol or THC – the active impairing ingredient in marijuana – that is in a person's system up to three hours after ingestion.
As the LA Times reports, it isn't just pot these tests allege they can detect:
The test screens for cocaine, benzodiazepine (Xanax), methamphetamine, amphetamines, narcotic analgesics, methadone and THC representative of marijuana usage within the past few hours. City prosecutors have yet to use results from the test as evidence in a case.
That's because, as prosecutors always hope, citizens tend to plead out under the pressure.
Does any of these test results amount to actual, real, reckless driving? Who knows, and the law apparently doesn't care.
Scott Shackford blogged last month about a National Highway Traffic Administration study doing the same sort of highly invasive bodily fluid sampling merely in the name of "research."
]]>You've probably heard of safety testing for food products or agriculture, but how about marijuana? Not far from Silicon Valley, a new cottage industry is forming to make cannabis safer for people with weak immune systems through forensic testing.
"It's very important because every other industry has some component of quality control testing, has regulations, has standards," says lab director Josh Wurzer of SC Labs in Capitola, California. "I think a lot of people are getting to the point where they're saying, 'Give us some sort of guidance.'"
An important fact about SC Labs customers is that they step up to have their products tested without any government agencies forcing them to do so. Why? Promising customers safety may make good business sense.
"We have several hundred clients across the state and these are dispensary owners or growers who do it voluntarily. And it's amazing to see the people who are voluntarily coming to us, paying a lot of money to have us test their medicine, some of which doesn't pass, just to ensure that the patients that they serve are as safe as possible," says Wurzer.
One of those patients was Norman Smith in Los Angeles, California. After being diagnosed with liver cancer, his oncologist at Cedars-Sinai hospital prescribed Smith marijuana, which Smith bought from a dispensary that had its cannibas tested at SC Labs. But after the transplant program at the hospital found out he was consuming marijuana, they delisted him from the transplant list, saying that he had engaged in substance abuse.
At the time, Cedars-Sinai told Reason TV that transplant patients who consume marijuana put themselves at potential risk of infection from a molds and fungi found in marijuana.
"It's safer than the spinach and lettuce that you eat," Smith explained to Reason TV. After being delisted Smith wasn't able to get a liver fast enough and died in 2012.

]]>Over at USA Today, I argue that baseball star Ryan Braun is getting a raw deal. The Brewers all-star has been suspended for using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) and running afoul of poorly defined and arbitrarily enforced league policy.
A snippet:
With the possible exception of attempts to "get money" out of politics, no recurring moral crusade is more self-righteous and more doomed to failure than the one aimed at tossing "performance-enhancing drugs" (PEDs) out of sports.
Money flows into politics because politics determines to a large degree how much money a business might make. Steroids, amphetamines and other drugs flow into sports like a raging river of Gatorade (needs more electrolytes!) because athletes, coaches and fans all want jacked-up performances....
It would be far more mature to admit that drugs, off-the-wall therapies and secret-training regimens are part and parcel of pro sports, whether in baseball or the National Football League. If this were all done in the open, players, coaches and fans would at least be able to have truly informed debates on the moral and muscular merits of this drug vs. that one vs. actual abstinence.
Read the whole thing here. As a bonus, I reveal the real reason we all (baseball fans) hate A-Rod.
And read USA Today's editorial extolling the suspension - and likely onslaught of more penalties handed out to many top-tier players - here.

]]>In a radio interview yesterday, John Rocker, a retired MLB relief pitcher, said he thanks that steroids make for better baseball.
"I think it was a better game," he said about the days before the MLB cracked down.
Rocker spoke with 92.3 The Fan, a sports station based in Cleveland. The hosts, who described Rocker as "the best closer in the game" during his career, quickly turned their questions to the issue of steroid use. Rocker, who did stints from 1998 to 2003 with the Braves, Indians, Rangers, and Rays, has spoken openly over the last few years about his personal experiences using performance enhancing drugs.
"Do you think [steroids] should be legal for everybody and it should be a player's choice?" the radio hosts asked Rocker.
"I think they should be," Rocker answered.
He talked about his own experience. "I'm paid to get [a batter] out, and win pennants for my team, and keep my job, and feed my family," Rocker said. Using steroids to succeed "was almost keep [sic] up with the joneses."
The retiree said that players juiced not only for themselves, but for the sake of the fans. You're paying to be entertained," Rocker said. "At the end of the day when people are paying their $80, $120... to buy their ticket and come watch that game, it's almost like the circus is in town.. They want to see some clown throw a fastball 101 mph and some other guy hit it 500 feet. That's entertainment."
Rocker dismissed the idea that it's even possible to effectively ban or test for performance enhancing drugs. "There are over fifty thousand steroid combinations in existence. You can go into a lab... offshore and get a chemist to build you a steroid... The best test out there, the ones the Olympics use, can only test for five hundred molecular combinations."
He did acknowledge that there is was an "ethical side of things, and that "lying and cheating" in baseball has cultivated a sense of skepticism around stand-out players.
Rocker said he does not miss playing, and that the "real passion of [his] heart" is Save Homeless Veterans, for which he is the Director of Public Affairs.
]]>[UPDATE: Headline originally mistakenly said "wins" lawsuit, rather than correct "settles."]]
Justice served against an officious state very, very quick to take a baby from its mother, reported via Watertown Daily Times and AP:
A woman who had her newborn taken away because she failed a hospital drug test after she ate a poppy seed bagel has settled a lawsuit over the case.
Lawrence County's child welfare agency and Jameson Hospital have paid $143,500 to settle the suit filed on behalf of Elizabeth Mort by the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, which announced the settlement Tuesday.
Mort sued in October 2010, alleging that a poppy seed bagel she ate shortly before arriving at the hospital spurred a positive test for opiates in April 2010 that prompted the seizure of her 3-day-old daughter, Isabella Rodriguez.
Mort said she was home with her baby when a county child welfare caseworker arrived with an emergency protective custody order and took Isabella.
The lawsuit alleged Mort was never told in the hospital that she had failed a drug test, nor was she asked if she had eaten anything that could have affected the test results.
The infant was returned five days later, after local officials agreed there was no evidence the mother had used illegal drugs....
Jacob Sullum wrote about this case for Reason in its 2011 beginnings. I wrote about bigger issues of state choices overwhelming parents' rights when it comes to medical care for Reason in February 2001 in a story called "Doctor's Orders."
]]>Tucked away inside ESPN's blockbuster report last night that Major League Baseball is preparing to hand out an unprecedented 20 or so steroid suspensions—including to Hall of Fame talent Alex Rodriguez and former Most Valuable Player Ryan Braun—as part of an agreement reached with a performance-enhancing clinician who MLB had been trying to sue into oblivion, were these curious two partial paragraphs:
Sources said discussions between [Biogenesis of America founder Tony] Bosch and MLB were delayed while Bosch's lawyers spoke to the U.S. Attorney's office to get a sense of what sort of legal jeopardy Bosch might face. Before he would agree to a deal, sources said, he wanted an assurance that MLB could help mitigate any criminal exposure. [...]
Baseball will drop the lawsuit it filed against Bosch in March, indemnify him for any liability arising from his cooperation, provide personal security for him and even put in a good word with any law enforcement agency that might bring charges against him. Sources said negotiations over the agreement, which lasted several weeks, stalled over the last point, as Bosch wanted the strongest assurances he could get that MLB would help mitigate any prosecution.
Emphasis mine. Someone new to the steroids-in-baseball story might be asking at this point, Just what in hell does a professional sports league have to do with federal law enforcement, anyway? The answer is that Major League Baseball and the feds have been explicitly partnered for more than a decade now in their common goal to maximally shame professional ballplayers suspected of ingesting illegal and/or professionally banned substances.
Consider this latest example. The suspensions have not been issued yet, and "it could be months before baseball attempts to act," according to The New York Times:
For one thing, baseball's investigators have yet to conduct interviews of numerous players it believes might be connected to the clinic.
If suspensions are handed down, they will almost certainly be challenged by the players union, because there will apparently be no positive drug tests to consider and because baseball made payments to obtain evidence and cooperation. In all likelihood, baseball will ultimately have to prove its case against players to an arbitrator.
So why, exactly, are we reading about this now? Because Major League Baseball, which is almost certainly the source of the leak, understands the value of a speculative media feeding-frenzy about steroids and baseball stars.
Any complaints by the Major League Baseball Players Association that their collectively bargained drug policy (PDF) does not include as a punishable offense being fingered by bought-off witnesses ("The Players Association has every interest in both defending the rights of players and in defending the integrity of our joint program. We trust that the Commissioner's Office shares these interests," is how the MLBPA tastefully put it) will be reliably greeted with hoots of derision from a sporting press baying for blood. And just in case anyone at the U.S. Attorney's office is not fully on board with the MLB-Bosch negotiations, there will be intense public pressure to grant the suspected peddler legal immunity so that he can best sully the reputations of high-profile players.
This is an inversion of federal law enforcement priorities. The Department of Justice is supposed to spend scarce enforcement resources on dealers, not end users. But ever since George W. Bush name-checked steroids in his 2004 State of the Union address—emphasizing that usage by elite athletes "sends the wrong message" to kids—federal investigators have focused on the public humiliation of users, rather than the criminal prosecution of dealers.
All-time greats Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds were prosecuted at heavy government expense not for an underlying crime involving steroid use, but perjury for how they talked about it under oath. (Clemens received a mistrial and a not-guilty verdict in his two trials; Bonds is appealing his lone conviction for obstruction of justice in the way he answered a question.) The people associated with steroids who served longest in jail have not been dealers, but friends of star athletes who remained silent rather than have their testimony compelled by Grand Juries.
All of these MLB-generated public firestorms have been very efficient in pressuring the union to accept drug-policy changes more acceptable to baseball owners. In 2004, after President Bush's speech, Congress created big show hearings on Capitol Hill in which a bipartisan consensus of interventionists, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), threatened heavy-handed federal legislation if the union didn't cave far or fast enough. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig was quite open at the time about using the federal government as a million-pound thumb on the scale of collective bargaining negotiations:
If we cannot resolve this issue privately, I gladly will accept whatever help is offered by Sen. McCain to achieve our ultimate goal....While I would prefer to resolve this problem directly with the Players Association and jointly implement a much stronger drug-testing policy in Major League Baseball, one modeled after our program in the minor leagues, I understand the need for swift and resolute action.
The union accepted a new drug policy by the end of the year. Further rounds of MLB publicity-mongering (a long in-house investigation by former Senator George Mitchell, a series of high-profile hearings by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and MLB's own four-year investigation into Bosch) have yielded further concessions from the union on substances, testing and punishment.
Most baseball fans will likely shrug, or be supportive at this latest (though never last) attempt to "clean up baseball," even if it requires, as Jonah Keri puts it in an informative Grantland article, "trampling on due process."
But it is wildly inappropriate for federal law enforcement to be in the public-shaming business, let alone collaborating openly with a multi-billion industry to change the terms of its industrial relations. A-Rod may be an A-Fraud, and a deeply unlikeable former superstar, but he has never misspent my tax dollars.

I'll be talking with Stossel about performance-enhancing drugs and whether they should be treated as categorically different from other forms of potentional advantage.

Dick Cheney arrives in Azerbaijan
The US Embassy says US Vice President Dick Cheney has arrived in Azerbaijan as part of a tour in support of Russia's southern neighbours.
Cheney is expected to meet with Azerbaijan's president and other top leaders today.
The vice president will later head to Georgia, where Washington is trying bolster support for President Mikhail Saakashvili's US-allied government, battered by last month's short war with Russia.
Cheney also will pay a visit to Ukraine for talks with leaders there.
The trip comes amid increasingly tense relations between Washington and Moscow, as Russia has asserted its right to exert clout over what it says is its historic sphere of influence — including many former Soviet republics.

UConn topples No. 17 Notre Dame in South Bend South Bend, IN (Sports Network) - Shabazz Napier totaled 19 points, five rebounds and four assists, as Connecticut put an end to Notre Dame's 12-game win streak by beating the 17th-ranked Fighting Irish, 65-58, at Purcell Pavilion. Tyler Olander had 16 points and seven boards for the Huskies (12-3, 2-1 Big East), winners in six of their last seven outings. Ryan Boatright added 14 points and five assists for Connecticut, which shot 57.7 percent in the second half. Eric Atkins scored 18 points for the Irish (14-2, 2-1), who hadn't lost this season since a 79-70 overtime decision to Saint Joseph's on Nov. 16. Jack Cooley contributed 14 points and nine boards as the Catholic institution's long home winning streak also came to a halt. UConn was the last school to beat Notre Dame at home, winning 67-53 on Jan. 14, 2012. Connecticut moved ahead for good when Napier hit a jumper with 9:03 to play which put it up 48-46, and Olander followed with a bucket for a four-point margin. Napier hit again for a 58-52 game with 3:51 showing, but less than a minute later a trey from Atkins pulled Notre Dame within 58-56. Atkins then waved his way through the lane and scored with 1:13 to play for a 58-58 deadlock. However, the Huskies were true from the free-throw line down the stretch, as Boatwright made four in a row. Deandre Daniels followed with a bucket after Olander missed the front end of a 1-and-1 to put the visitors up by six. Jerian Grant failed on two attempts from beyond the arc, and Daniels hit a free throw in between to account for the final margin. Notre Dame jumped out to a 9-4 lead within the first four minutes, then upped its advantage to 19-13 on a Cameron Biedscheid triple. A jumper from Cooley from his rebound of a Scott Martin miss increased the edge to 26-18, but the rest of the half belonged to the Huskies. UConn used an 11-3 run from there to draw even on the second of consecutive Napier treys, but Cooley's bucket sent the Irish to the break with a 31-29 edge. Game Notes UConn has won 18 of the 28 all-time meetings, but Notre Dame has taken four of the last six matchups ... The schools combined for just 16 turnovers, nine to the Irish ... Daniels and Cooley each posted a game best nine rebounds ... Connecticut hosts Louisville on Monday, while Notre Dame heads to St. John's on Tuesday. 01/12 16:43:19 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

I actually agree with a few of the points the OP is making. The compressor is incredibly nasty, downright glitchy with clicks and pops and unresponsive metering. Especially in peak mode it sounds like a bad digital compressor. I have the Waves SSL models and they sound wonderful so I'm not sure why the Reason SSL should sound any different. Though I do like the Bus compressor and the EQ. The EQ is does not sound or behave like an analog EQ (just compare it to Softube Trident), but the curves are musical and I love the E-mode.
What I really would like to see in Reason 7 are groups, bus channels and cross-talk emulation. It would be pretty awesome if they added a Neve channel as an option - lovely compressor. |

picky picky. Custom your devotion to customer service is commendable but it's a fact that powder comes in plastic bags or little screw top vials, it's always been that way. I know you don't want to say it because their your customers so I'll say it for you. "Quit your bitchin and be lucky you have access to powders. Anymore complaints and the **** will be sent to get pressed."
Seriously people are you complaining about powder in the plastic bags? Give the man a break.

Whitman gives HP harsh report card, outlines recovery plan
Her comments might be seen as an indictment of former CEO Mark Hurd, who some believe cut costs too deeply at HP
IDG News Service - Hewlett-Packard has underinvested in its business and become "too complex and too slow," President and CEO Meg Whitman said Wednesday, offering a three-part turnaround plan to get the ailing company back on track.
Speaking to analysts and investors after HP released its financial results, Whitman offered a frank assessment of HP's challenges at the end of her first full quarter on the job.
It was a tough three months for HP, which saw its profit dive 44 percent and revenue decline by 7 percent. Its giant Personal Systems Group, where revenue skidded 15 percent, needs to build more innovative PCs, Whitman said.
"The fact is that, for all that's right with PSG, we underinvested in innovation in the last several years and we've been late to market too often," Whitman said.
She blamed last quarter's performance on the economy and on an industrywide shortage of disk drives. But she also admitted there are deeper problems at HP that need to be fixed.
"For years, we've been basically running our business in silos. Under that model, we've built some of the biggest franchises in technology, but it's also made us too complex and too slow," Whitman said.
HP has lost share in some of its most important markets, she admitted, including PCs and even in its valuable printer business.
Whitman's comments might be seen as a critique of former HP CEO Mark Hurd, now a president at Oracle, though Whitman didn't mention him by name. Hurd was praised by some for growing HP's revenue and more than doubling its stock price, but others said he achieved that by cutting costs too deeply and failing to invest for the future.
Whitman implied she's in the latter camp. "We didn't make the investments we should have in the last few years to stay ahead of customer expectations and market trends," she said on the conference call. "As a result, we see eroding revenue and profits today."
HP's recovery plan fits in three "buckets," she said. The first is fixing its execution, she said. That includes making its supply chain more efficient and cutting unnecessary models, or "SKUs," that make developing, selling and supporting products unnecessarily complex.
Next, HP must address the "ongoing problems" with each business unit, she said. That includes investing in technology for the future and streamlining processes and support services.
The last part is to capitalize on what Whitman sees as dramatic shifts in technology, especially around cloud computing, information management and security, she said.
It's a big challenge, not least because HP must find the money to reinvest in its businesses while continuing to deliver a profit to shareholders. "We have to save so that we can invest," Whitman said, meaning HP has to cut costs and become more efficient to get the money it needs to rebuild.
"We know what we have to do, we have a plan to fix it, but it will take time," Whitman said. "This is a multiyear effort."

In office January 6, 1986[1] – March 12, 1991[2] |
Preceded by | Ed Rendell |
Succeeded by | Lynne Abraham |
Personal details | |
Born | Miami, Florida |
March 16, 1944
Alma mater | Auburn University University of Virginia School of Law |
Ronald D. Castille (born March 16, 1944) is the Chief Justice of Pennsylvania. He was the District Attorney of the City of Philadelphia from 1986 until 1991 and is a member of the Republican Party. He is also an amputee (requiring the use of crutches), having lost his right leg to enemy gunfire while serving as a Marine platoon commander during the Vietnam War.
In 2012, Castille, a Republican, cast the deciding vote against the Pennsylvania Legislative Reapportionment Commission's redistricting map, siding with his Democratic colleagues. In his opinion, Castille wrote that the map split too many municipalities.[3] He also wrote the unanimous opinion upholding the LRC's revised redistricting maps in 2013.[4]
Marine Corps service[edit]
Castille received a B.S. in Economics from Auburn University in 1966. Following graduation was commissioned an officer in the United States Marine Corps in Vietnam where he served as a platoon commander in 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines. On March 16, 1967, Castille was conducting a Search and destroy mission with his company in Duc Pho, Quang Ngai Province when they came under attack from a Viet Cong battalion. During the fighting Castille was seriously wounded and fell, unable to move. One of his Marines, Angel Mendez shielded him and then carried him to friendly lines, which were more than seventy-five meters away. During this action Mendez was hit in the shoulder and two of his comrades rushed to help him with Castille but Mendez refused to let go of Castille and chose to act as rear man. Mendez continued to shield his Lieutenant with his own body until he was mortally wounded. For his actions Mendez was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross and promoted to Sergeant.[5]
Following his medical retirement from the Marine Corps in 1968 Castille received his J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law. In 1986 he was elected District Attorney of Philadelphia and served until 1991. Prior to his election to the Supreme Court, he was in private practice as a civil litigator for Reed Smith Shaw & McClay in Philadelphia. He was elected to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in 1993.[6]
On January 14, 2008, Castille was sworn in as Chief Justice of Pennsylvania.[7]

- Bronze Star (with Combat Valor Device)
- Purple Heart

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Do you like motion? How about controlling things? If so, Microsoft has the job for you!
A new posting on Microsoft's employment page, shows that the company is looking for people to help work on Project Natal -- a lot of people. As of this writing, there were 18 separate job listings for everything from developers and artists all the way to producer.
Hey Microsoft -- have any openings for a gaming journalist who specializes in eating greasy foods and watching bad TV? No? Maybe next time then...
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

February Students of the Month
MMHS is proud to announce the February students of the month!
Sophomore Savannah Nelson's favorite quote is, "You have to be willing to get happy about nothing." Andy Warhol. She loves this quote because it helps her to remember that life is much more enjoyable if you have a positive attitude. In five years, she sees myself going to college, preferably Georgetown University, and becoming a social worker.
A few of Savannha's hobbies are running, writing, reading, playing piano, and hanging out with friends. Her favorite subject in school is English because she loves to write, read, and learn about literature. She also loves German because learning a new language is exciting. A few things that sets Savannah apart is the she has red hair, she tries to get as much positive energy as she can to make herself and others happy, and she's a morning person.
If Savannah could meet anyone in history, she would like to talk with Eleanor Roosevelt and talk with her about her life, her trials, and ask her for advice or life lessons.
Sophomore Kent Dominguez's favorite quote is, "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" - Obi-Wan Kenobi. He likes this quote because it is funny and from one of his favorite movies. In five years, Kent sees himself writing novels for a profession.
Kent's hobbies are playing video games and playing percussion instruments. His favorite subject in school is percussion ensemble because its fun to create music.
If he could meet anyone in history, Kent would meet Albert Einstein, and he would ask him about how he made his discoveries.
Junior Bethany Irwin's favorite quote is, "You must be the change you want to see in the world." – Mahatma Gandhi. This quote is her favorite because she believes that everyone possesses so much good. If you want to see change in this world, you must be the catalyst. Not a single thing can stop you from making a difference. In five years, Bethany sees herself chasing her dreams. Hopefully, that means attending college and exploring the world. She wants to be helping in humanitarian efforts and getting ready to start a career.
Bethany likes to draw, paint, travel, read, and serve others. She loves to be active and serve others. Her favorite subject in school is art. She loves being able to be creative and express herself. It gives her the opportunity to develop skills and learn new concepts that help her grow as an artist.
What makes Bethany different is that she because tries to always be herself. She loves trying new things, and she's not afraid to take risks or get out of my comfort zone. She enjoys expressing herself and finding new ways to be creative.
Bethany has extreme bad luck at amusement parks. She has walked head on into a pole, got lost and started following the wrong family. She almost never goes an entire day at an amusement park without one of the rides breaking down.
If she could talk with anyone in history, she would love to talk with Walt Disney. Bethany would ask him if he ever expected to make such a large and lasting impact on the world, and ask him how normal people just like himself can similarly make a difference.
Junior Carlos Urbina's favorite quote is, "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." He likes this because nobody is perfect, and we may all fail but we need to have the courage to try again. In five year, Carlos would like to be in college studying accounting and business management. Work based learning and internship is his favorite subject because he gets to go out and get hands on experience.
Carlos' hobbies include anything that gets him outside. Something interesting about him is that he always has a positive attitude and looks at the positive side of things.
Carlos would like to meet Henry Ford, and he would ask him what his mindset was about taking risks in a business.
Senior McKenna Limb's favorite quote is, "They never said it would be easy, they said it would be worth it." Remembering this helps her to keep going even when things get hard. In five years, McKenna sees herself double majoring in Botany and English.
McKenna's hobbies include saving the world and other extreme sports. Her favorite class is floriculture and greenhouse management. She loves the creativity and freedom of imagination that goes into each project, as well as being able to get dirty. The funnies thing that she ever saw was watching a chicken ride around on my dog's back.
McKenna would want to have a conversation with Winston Churchill. She would like to know how he felt and what kept him going during the events of WWII.
Senior Juan Garcia sees himself in five years being done with college.
Juan really works at Pizza Factory and really likes playing video games in his free time. One thing that sets Juan apart is that he knows about the history of different video games, the creators of them, and even the business side of video games. He plays a lot of diverse games on difference platforms.
If Juan could talk with anyone in history, he would take with Hiroshi Yamaguchi, the founder of Nintendo, and ask him how he came up with all his creative ideas.

At HP SaaS, your Tier 2 application is our Tier 1
After making a great decision to invest in HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) software, you (VP of Apps) are already a star in your company! The cutting edge capabilities of HP ALM covers requirements to defects, from functional to performance testing. But ever wonder how ALM software will be hosted by your IT department? Will it be considered a Tier 1 application and have SLAs set accordingly? Think again!
As compared to Mission Critical IT applications such as Outlook, ERP/CRM or financials, an application such as ALM often falls to second or third tier. For your IT department, the Tier 1 application availability matters most. The high availability, disaster recovery, backup & restore procedures are in place for mission critical applications but for Tier 2 or 3 applications it's a different picture. During my tenure as a HP Professional Services consultant, I have implemented ALM (PC & QC) at various client sites and at almost everywhere one I found a similar story: Resistance by the IT team from letting us use infrastructure which hosts other mission critical application. It is an uphill battle for the ALM suite owner to get resources - both hardware and software - to host applications that are not considered Mission Critical. In the majority of the cases, only a very basic level of monitoring is put in place for applications like ALM. Does this sound familiar?
Let me share with you a real horror story: One of our biggest customers has their Quality Center hosted in-house. As Quality Center didn't fall in the Tier 1 category, very minimal monitoring and Disaster Recovery procedures were in place. To make matters worse, the database instance which Quality Center was using had a hardware failure and suddenly everything was gone. They had backup of database which was 4 months old!!!! With more than 100 active projects, 2000 plus active users spread across globe, they lost 4 months of productivity and critical roll out of new software delayed!! All this trouble because the ALM application didn't qualify as Tier 1 as per their IT department's definition? It took more than a week to bring Quality Center instance back up with data that was 4 months old. One can imagine how much just that one incident cost.
During my tenure as operations engineer inside HP SaaS, our backend operations team created procedures and processes to support 99.9% availability for our applications. Whether it's ALM or Business Service Management (BSM) or ITSM, all applications hosted inside HP SaaS are Tier 1 applications. Consider our SaaS operations team as your dedicated IT team whose sole job is to ensure availability of your ALM instance. The 99.9% SLA is not easy to achieve, lot of careful planning, years of operating knowledge and sweat went inside to reach at this level of 24X7 operations. For more information, you can go to HP ALM on SaaS
Now working as a Technical Account Manager for HP SaaS, I have seen customers who came from in-house hosting to SaaS for reasons mentioned above. As an Account Manager, I am responsible for our customer's success, the biggest takeaway I get is that clients can focus on using world's best ALM solution and not worry about availability, disaster recovery or any of the scenarios like I described above. In summary, ALM on SaaS is running on HP hardware, in an HP datacenter, monitored by HP software applications (BSM), backed by software experts who have years of working knowledge of ALM product. For SaaS, all solutions that we provide as a service are Tier1 applications. Leave all of the management of backend operations for SaaS and focus on using ALM to extract maximum value out from your investment.

Indiana's decision to increase funding for full-day kindergarten has led to an increase in students enrolling in kindergarten programs across the state and more state dollars doled out to local schools.
On Friday, the state will distribute nearly $190 million from a full-day kindergarten funding grant program, more than double the $81 million spent last school year, according to numbers released Monday by the Indiana Department of Education.
The money is going to 338 public school corporations and charter schools that collectively saw a 19 percent increase in the number of students enrolling in full-day kindergarten programs: from 66,401 in the 2011-12 school year to 79,110 students this school year.
The increase in enrollment and funding is due to legislation pushed by Gov. Mitch Daniels that put more money into a state grant program that helps qualifying local schools pay for their full-day kindergarten programs.
The legislation boosted the amount to $2,400 per student, almost twice the amount that schools got the year before. It triggered some schools to expand their half-day programs into full-day kindergarten, and allowed other schools to offer a full-day program without having to charge extra tuition to parents.
Terry Spradlin, director for education policy at Indiana University's Center for Evaluation and Education, called it "good news" for Indiana.
"I think this will be beneficial," said Spradlin, a strong advocate of early childhood education.
The extra dollars are in addition to money that local schools already receive through the state's school-funding formula. Combined, it will provide about $5,000 per kindergarten student, Spradlin said.
The legislation that increased dollars through the full-day kindergarten grant program only extends two years, but some lawmakers see it as indicator of growing support for education.
"The increase in funding is critical," said state Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany, who sits on the House Committee on Education. "But just as critical is the policy decision that the Legislature made in identifying full-day kindergarten funding as a priority."
"It was an important first step in the right direction, but it won't be the last step," Clere said. "I think there is growing support in the Legislature to support early childhood education as one of the most important investments we can make."
The full-day funding levels for schools was released Monday by the Indiana Department of Education. It's based on enrollment numbers for this current school year.
Attending kindergarten isn't mandatory in Indiana, but public schools are required to offer some kind of kindergarten program to eligible students.
Some had opted for half-day programs or charged parents tuition for their children to attend a full-day program. In some communities, like Floyd County where Clere is from, local foundations stepped in to provide the extra dollars to the schools to support a full-day program.
"Access to full-day kindergarten was limited by financial means," Clere said. "We're finally moving past that."
Spradlin and other education experts say full-day kindergarten programs give students, especially those from low-income families, a boost in their later academic success.
The legislation that doubled the dollars for full-day kindergarten guarantees $2,400 in state money for every child enrolled in a full-day kindergarten program. Schools were getting only about $1,200 per kindergarten student before the legislation passed.
The Legislature approved the temporary increase in kindergarten dollars for this school year. But in signing the legislation into law, Daniels said it signaled a shift in commitment from the Legislature to spend more dollars on education.
"This is never going away, and the finances of the state clearly support it," Daniels said at the time. "This is not inexpensive, but we think it's the next best investment to make in education."
Daniels had pushed the idea for more kindergarten funding earlier this year as state revenues were rebounding. This summer, he announced that Indiana ended the fiscal year with a $2 billion surplus.
Earlier this fall, Republican leaders in the Statehouse, who hold a super-majority in both the state House and Senate, said they were committed to spending more state dollars on early childhood education. In January, when the Legislature goes back into session, lawmakers will be crafting a two-year budget bill that includes education spending.
