Best of all, it totally demolishes the meticulously constructed notion of liberals and the mainstream press of a bigoted Tea Party whose program of small government and low taxes is just a flimsy cover for their hatred of blacks and other minorities. Tea Party preference for Cain over, say, Texas Governor Rick Perry, blows this whole construct to smithereens and mercilessly and hilariously exposes the blind hypocrisy of those who advanced it in the first place. Hearing Herman Cain denounce the special place set aside for blacks by the left as the Democrat Plantation is a special added bonus.
If Cain accomplishes nothing else for his fellow Americans this election, it will be to cement in place the clear understanding that where you find people constantly harping and yapping on race, there you will find racism.
Unlike other candidates, and one of the reasons for his popularity, Cain has been willing to make concrete proposals to deal with our current malaise, in particularly his 9-9-9 tax program. It would replace the current Byzantine tax structure with a 9% corporate rate, a 9% personal income tax rate, and a 9% national sales tax. Eliminating deductions, loopholes, and payroll taxes, it would vastly simplify our tax system and enable most people to file on the proverbial post card. If this program were enacted and held to, it would permanently disable the ability of Washington and politicians to buy votes and reward supporters with the tax favors which make our present code run thousands of pages.
Compare this to the shameless demagoguery of President Obama, whose favorite tax nostrums, supposedly soaking the rich, will not touch our mountain of debt nor lower the deficit measurably. As Charles Krauthammer points out in The National Review, Oct.14, the millionaires and billionaires tax (somehow to be levied on individuals making over $200,000) would have reduced last years deficit from $1.29 to $1.21 trillion; the monstrous oil company loopholes would cover less than a half-days federal spending, and that wicked corporate jet depreciation 100 hundred years of it wouldnt cover one month of Medicare.
These are stupid arguments designed to appeal to the ignorant, who you can now observe marching under the Occupy Wall Street banner, dubbed the Flea Party by Ann Coulter. Obama makes these arguments knowingly and cynically. A government of the size and scope he wants, along the lines of the Euro-socialism currently threatening the entire worlds economy with its growing insolvency, can only be supported by an enormous new tax system on top of the rest of what we have, almost certainly a VAT, a type of national sales tax levied on the economy from top to bottom, from the purchase of raw materials to sales to consumers. It hits not just the rich, but everyone hard! so it cant be unveiled until we are impossibly in debt and on the verge of collapse and anarchy.
The accumulation of that debt is surely the real main goal of Obamas first term. Let it be his last.

FL Legislative Update – February
This information was presented by Surfrider Foundation FL Regional Coordinator, Holly Parker, at our February meeting.
State Issues:
Ocean Outfall Bill
It's back! Since the Surfrider Foundation successfully passed an Ocean Outfall Closure bill in 2009, there have been numerous attempts to delay or weaken its implementation. This year, like the last two years, is no exception. Senator Diaz de la Portilla (Miami-Dade) submitted SB444, titled "Domestic Wastewater Discharged Through Ocean Outfalls".
Learn more here:Â http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=49649
Oil Drilling in Blackwater River State Forest
You may have already heard rumblings of a new bill proposing oil drilling on state lands. There is a bill proposing oil/gas exploration on state lands, but it is limited to the Blackwater River State Park (near Milton). We will be keeping an eye on this bill to make sure it doesn't morph into anything broader, but the good news is that identical legislation was filed last session and promptly killed after substantial public outcry. Â Stay tuned for more as there are additional developments. Learn more here:Â http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=49579
FLORIDA DEP Beach Management Funding Assistance Program
The DEP has released its list of local projects though the Beach Management Funding Program. Once this list is approved, these projects will be fast tracked and we'll have a much harder time stopping them. Â You can also see each individual funding request application here:Â http://www.dep.state.fl.us/beaches/programs/becp/fund-req.htm

St. Johns County Shore Protection Project
Nourishment of approximately 2.9 miles of shoreline between DEP Monuments R137 – R151 in St. Johns County. The project includes 0.9 miles of beach within Anastasia Island State Recreation Area. Restoration of the federal project and the non-federal extension within the state recreation area was completed in 2003. Emergency nourishment was completed in 2005 based on damages sustained during the 2004 hurricane season.
Federal Issues:
Seismic Testing Delay
Good news! The US Department of the Interior has delayed a decision on whether to conduct seismic surveys in the Atlantic until October. For those chapters working on this campaign, that means you have several more months to push petitions, sign-on letters, and public outreach events. Learn more about seismic testing here:Â http://action.surfrider.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=6937
Surfrider at the Florida State Capitol!

OFG Tip O the Month 4
Since getting involved with Surfrider's Ocean Friendly Gardens program and joining the Florida Native Plant Society I can now see the mistakes I made and am now better equipped to make the right decisions for my yard going forward.
So before starting your own OFG project please consider the following. You might first want to consult with a landscaper who is knowledgeable regarding native plants and OFG landscapes. There are also a number of garden centers in the area that specialize in native and Florida Friendly plants and ground covers. Another great resource is the Florida Native Plant Society that has chapters in our area. Last but not least please check out our own OFG program. There are great resources to be found on Surfrider's national web-site and our chapter will be looking to hold OFG seminars and hands on events during the coming year(s).
So get involved and become more knowledgeable while at the same time saving yourself time, money and resources as well as our waves oceans beaches and rivers.
November Update from Paul
There is a part of me that truly believes that the sport of surfing and the ocean have saved my life. Both have given me strength, comfort and confidence when it was most needed throughout my life as well as a great deal of joy and happiness.
It is often said that when someone saves your life you them yours. I think this can be expanded to include activities or experiences that impact you significantly. I certainly feel this way about surfing and our oceans. In part, this is why I have devoted so much of my time giving back to both as best I can.
I feel extremely blessed to have had the privilege to serve as the chairman of the First Coast Chapter for the past two years. I have been associated with a great bunch of activists and learned a great deal.
As I leave my post at the end of the year I do so feeling very good about the things our chapter, including our executive committee and members, have accomplished and the progress we have made. At the same time, however, I wish I could have accomplished more. There are so many threats to our sport and coastlines and seemingly so little time and bodies to accomplish all we would like to.
I know that none of what we accomplished would have been possible without the dedication, time, talents and contributions of our executive committee, volunteers, members, sponsors and donors. I owe you all a great debt of gratitude.
Although I am stepping down as your Chairman I want you to know that I am planning on staying on as an advisor to the EC and plan to head up the Ocean Friendly Garden Committee and help out the Chapter in any manner required.
I am confident that I am leaving the chapter in very capable hands with Erin Handy as our new Chair – and the team she is putting together – and I expect great things to come.
Recently we sent out a survey to our members. We received a great response to it which will help us immensely to build the foundation of the chapter. We will be sharing the results with you all and personally contacting those who indicated they would like to get further involved.
We also recently held our seventh annual art auction. Thanks to the talented and generous artists that donated their work and the hard work of our volunteers, headed by Jamie Sauer, the auction was a huge success and the income from it will certainly help us accomplish our mission.
Thanks so much for your support of me and the chapter and I will look forward to seeing you at a future event.

Companies usually store sensitive data in the computers they use in the workplace, data that a company would not want to expose to third parties. Such data and information contained in these computers may relate to clients and staff of the company. Remember there are ICO regulations requiring that this data and information be kept as confidential as possible. Otherwise, you may be fined heavily.
Company staff may also have used mobile phones and stored sensitive data and information. It is necessary to ask the staff to leave the mobile phones behind if they will not be in the office. In addition, such handsets need to be replaced where an upgrade is being done.
Small and large companies cannot, therefore, avoid the question of what to do with the hard drives and mobile phones that could contain sensitive data as stated above. They can either destroy the hard drives and mobile phones or wipe the data contained therein.
Most companies choose the first method which involves wiping the data from the hard drives and mobile phones. This is because they regard it as convenient and because the hard drive and mobile phones can be used gain.
So what will they do if they decide to wipe out the sensitive data? It is possible to run software that can destroy the data contained in the hard disk and mobile phones and this software can be bought. Thus, the hard drive and mobile phone can still be used by the company after wiping the data and information.
Unfortunately, wiping the data and information and reusing the hard drive and mobile phone does not offer complete 100% security and confidentiality for the sensitive data in question. Professional frauds can still use the hard drive and mobile phones, run their own professional reformatting software to restore the sensitive company data and information and do the damage intended. This can happen, for instance, if the hard drive and mobile phone is thrown away.
The second option involving destruction of the hard drive is usually the better option because of the above danger. Once the hard drive and mobile phone has been completely destroyed, it cannot be accessed and the sensitive data and information cannot be found out at all.
Destroying hard drives, however, posses another problem to companies and businesses that have decided to do it. It is considered difficult because the tough hardware must be physically handled to destroy it and sometimes you may not destroy it properly, meaning that the data would still be accessible if the remains are found. This is why consulting a professional service to destroy the hard disk is very helpful.
Companies can take advantage of hard disk destruction services provided by professionals in their localities. Once they physically destroy the hard drive, it is not possible to have someone accessing the data and information therein because the hardware is no longer accessible. This will leave the business owner or company with peace of mind, knowing that the sensitive data and information stored in the hard drives will never be accessed.

Step 1 – Preparation Work
Your backyard will require to be raked diligently before any seeds are planted. This will assist to pinpoint any areas that are in distinct need of reseeding, as well as take away the thatch build up and any other surface materials. Use a solid broom rake for the first round, covering the whole lawn with even strokes. The ripped teeth of the broom rake will catch leaves, rocks and twigs. After using the broom rake grab a double-duty or multi-use rake to de-thatch the lawn. This elimination will make the simple and patchy spots very obvious, allowing you to get the finest seed coverage and penetration.
Step 2 – Obtaining the Ground Ready
Now that you can see the bare spots, the soil demands to be loosened and fertilized. Drill down 1 to 6 inches with a cultivator – the more traffic that passes through the place, the deeper you'll need to loosen. For hefty traffic patches mix in peat moss to preserve great drainage. Once the soil has been loosened it's time to add fertilizer. Use a type and amount that suits your soil conditions and the exposure of the lawn. Rake the unfastened and fertilized soil flat.
Step 3 – Time to Distribute the Seed
With a large top quality seed that is made for the problems of your lawn (for shade, sun, slopes, etc.), spread the seed by hand. Coverage should be even but light – too much seed is bad and won't create a fuller lawn. Once the seed is distributed, casually mist the region with your hose.
Step 4 – Protective Covering
For protection and to speed up germination, spread a layer of clear polyethylene plastic sheets on top of the reseeded area. Consider down the sheets with rocks or other small, heavy objects around the edge. This protective layer also acts as a wetness retainer, reducing the need to continually water for those first few days.
Step 5 – Seedlings Need Water
When you see the seedlings popping up through the soil get rid of the plastic. Or else, the protection will end up stifling growth. With the sheets off, be positive to lightly mist the soil two or three times per day until the seedlings reach a height of 1 inch. After that weekly watering is required until the grass is 3 inches tall.

A board manufacturer refers to a company that is usually involved in producing boards. Boards refer to flats pieces of wood or materials that are made for special uses. There manufacturers produce them for particular reasons.
There are various types of boards made by the manufacturers. Some widely used ones include chip boards, bleached manila, bending boards and coated boards and many others. All those are made by utilizing different materials.
Chip boards are produced by cylinder machines and are made on combination. They cost less expensive hence many people can afford them. Their fibers are usually recycled.
Bending chips are massively used to produce fairly a variety of portable cartons. Those cartons involve boxes for laundry plus containers thrown away after usage. They are made from mixtures of dissimilar fibers that may withstand bending till 180 degrees minus breaking into pieces. Those boards are frequently tan and gray in color.
Coated boards are normally made of multiple veneers which diverge from six to nine masses. Most of such fibers utilized in generating the products are normally reused. They are largely utilized in making traveling boxes.
There are many other types of boards manufactured by various companies. They include bleached manila, patent-coated boards, clay-coated boards, cast-coated boards, laminated as well as kraft boards.
It is therefore apparent that there is a wide range of materials that are needed to make boards. The manufacturers therefore find ways of acquiring the raw materials for making them. They can collect the raw materials from different institutions.
The companies may make use of recycled papers. Moreover, they may also use some other materials like sulfate in making various types of boards like kraft ones. Others use clay in covering paperboards so as to improve the quality.
The manufactures also put into consideration the different uses of their products before making them. This is determined by the demand and the quality of the products produced. This shows that sheets have wide range of uses.
Cardboards are fairly thicker than papers. Besides, they get coated. They are largely used in making cartons.
The duplex types bear water-proof veneers. They principally are applied in carrying fluids and are applied in food manufacturers. Furthermore, they embrace a wax feel.
Solid white sheets fall under the category of the top quality materials. They are made from wood pulps that have been highly polished and bleached to produce a high quality material. They are the best to be used in printing. Consequently, they are used in covering books and also in making expensive items.
Corrugated sheets are used for packaging big electrical items, while foil lined ones are used for carrying food. They retain heat energy thus keeping the food warm.
Tracing papers are utilized by designers, pupils and students. They are very valuable in producing several pictures. They further make it possible to place one design over the other.
Board manufacturer therefore plays an important role in producing boards. They are widely found in various countries and different locations. Their prices vary based on the quality of their products.

The personnel will better understand what their responsibilities are and will be able to keep track of developments.
Using one application provides a place where all of the documents relevant to the project can be stored. Without such a place for storage, you will have to keep track of which personnel is keeping what record. When you have on, you will now where the important files are, you can access it, trace it, and so on.
Because you have a place where everything is being stored, you can check if the budget is being followed. If there is overspending, then you will be able to spot it swiftly and then correct the issue. The ability to monitor progress also means that you can make sure that everything is being done on time.

Subtitle C, Chapter 2 establishes a Federal credit assistance program for major surface transportation projects under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 1998 (TIFIA).
The House bill contains no comparable provision.
The conference adopts the Senate provision, with certain modifications. The TIFIA program is designed to assist major surface transportation projects with their own revenue streams, which can attract substantial private capital with a limited Federal investment. This program offers the sponsors of large transportation projects a new tool to leverage limited Federal resources, stimulate additional investment in our Nation's infrastructure, and encourage greater private sector participation in meeting our transportation needs.
Eligible projects for TIFIA assistance include any projects eligible under title 23 (highway and transit capital projects) as well as international bridges and tunnels, inter-city passenger bus and rail facilities and vehicles (including Amtrak and magnetic levitation systems), and publicly-owned intermodal freight facilities. Examples of the types of projects which may benefit from this program are the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, the Farley/Pennsylvania Station project in New York City and the State of Florida's proposed high-speed rail project between Miami, Orlando and Tampa. Project sponsors may be governmental units, private entities, or public-private partnerships. The Conferees wish to reiterate language concerning the Florida high-speed rail project in the Senate committee report section on TIFIA. This project represents an effort by the State of Florida to bring a new technology to the United States by using an innovative public-private partnership that does not rely on Federal grant support. The State of Florida's request for a Federal loan equal to 1/3 of project costs should receive favorable consideration from the Department of Transportation, provided it meets program criteria.
To be eligible for credit assistance, a project must meet certain threshold criteria. It must cost at least $100 million or 50 percent of a State's annual apportionment of Federal-aid funds, whichever is less. (For intelligent transportation system projects, the minimum cost is $30 million, due to the substantial capacity enhancements attainable with but a limited investment.) The project also must have the potential to be self-supporting from user charges or other non-Federal dedicated funding sources, be on a State's transportation plan and, at the time of funding, be on a fiscally-constrained State transportation improvement program. An application for credit assistance may be submitted by a State or local government or other entity. The Secretary will select among potential candidates based on various criteria, including the project's regional or national significance, its potential economic benefits, its credit-worthiness, the degree of private sector participation, and other factors.
Forms of assistance that can be provided under this program consist of direct loans, loan guarantees, and lines of credit. In all cases the Federal role will be that of a minority investor, with Federal participation limited to not more than 33 percent of total project costs. The Secretary is authorized to enter into agreements with project sponsors containing terms and conditions designed to assist the projects in leveraging additional funds, while ensuring that the program operates in a fiscally-prudent manner. The State in which a project is located may identify a State or local government entity to assist the Secretary in servicing the Federal credit instrument.
The Secretary may provide credit assistance to demonstrate to the capital markets the viability of making transportation infrastructure investments where returns depend on residual project cash flows after servicing senior municipal revenue bonds or other capital markets debt. An objective of the program is to help the financial markets develop the capability ultimately to supplant the role of the Federal government in helping finance the costs of large projects of national significance. That is why loan guarantees are limited to major institutional lenders, such as defined benefit pension funds, which may be potential providers in the future of supplemental and subordinate capital for projects. The Conference would like the Secretary to encourage Federal borrowers to prepay their direct loans or guaranteed loans as soon as practicable from excess revenues or the proceeds of municipal or other capital market debt obligations. The Secretary also may sell off direct loans to third parties or into the capital markets, if such transactions can be arranged upon favorable terms.
The Conference recognizes that the Congress enacted the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 provision prohibiting the combination of Federal guarantees with tax-exempt debt, because of concerns that such a double-subsidy could result in the creation of a "AAA" rated security superior to U.S. Treasury obligations. Accordingly, any project loan backed by a loan guarantee as provided in TIFIA must be issued on a taxable basis.
The Conference wants to ensure that projects receiving TIFIA assistance are financially-sound. Each project, at the time of its application for assistance, is required to furnish a preliminary rating opinion letter from one of the bond rating agencies identified by the Securities and Exchange Commission as a "Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization," indicating that the project's senior debt obligations have the potential to achieve an investment-grade bond rating. The Secretary shall consult with the Office of Management and Budget, each rating agency providing such an opinion letter, and any other financial experts the Secretary deems necessary, in order to determine the credit instrument's appropriate subsidy cost (capital reserve) pursuant to the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. Until such time as a formal investment-grade rating is assigned, the Secretary shall not extend credit in an amount exceeding the estimated subsidy cost. The Conference believes that analytical techniques that are widely-accepted by the capital markets, such as those used by the rating agencies to evaluate the financial stability of municipal bond insurance companies, should be drawn upon to estimate the appropriate subsidy cost.
TIFIA expressly requires that projects adhere to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act. the Conference also recognizes that highway and transit capital projects assisted under TIFIA will retain adequate protections for labor in terms of prevailing wages, as required under title 23 provisions.
The bill provides $530 million of contract authority, funded from the Highway Trust Fund, to fund the budgetary or subsidy costs of the Federal credit instruments between fiscal years 1999-2003: $80 million in fiscal year 1999; $90 million in fiscal year 2000; $110 million in fiscal year 2001; $120 million in fiscal year 2002; and $130 million in fiscal year 2003. (As with other Federal credit programs, the non-budgetary or financing costs of the Federal credit instruments will be funded from the General Fund.). The bill caps the nominal amount of credit instruments supported by this contract authority at $1.2 billion for each of fiscal years 1998 and 1999; $1.8 billion for fiscal years 2000 and 2001; and $2.0 billion for fiscal years 2002 and 2003.
The Conferees are aware that present Federal income tax law prohibits the use of direct or indirect Federal guarantees in combination with tax-exempt debt (section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The TIFIA provisions of the conference agreement do not override or otherwise modify this provision of the Code.
The Conference finds that developing, implementing, and evaluating financial assistance programs such as TIFIA is a crucial mission of the Department of Transportation. To ensure the financial and programmatic success of TIFIA, the conference strongly encourages the Secretary to establish an organizational structure within the Department in which financial assistance activities and programs can be closely coordinated and monitored.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of this program, the Secretary is required to submit a report to Congress within four years of the date of enactment of this bill. The report should summarize the program's financial performance to date, and recommend whether the objectives of the program would be best met by continuing the program under the authority of the Secretary, establishing a Government corporation of Government-sponsored enterprise to administer the program, or by relying upon the capital markets to fund projects of regional and national significance without Federal participation.

I'm extremely anti-gun. It's an ongoing argument in our household, as my former-Marine hubby thinks I'm being unrealistic about the threat of the zombie apocalypse. But I hold my ground. Guns breed violence, period, and I want no part of it.
But…I'm a writer. And the great thing about being a writer is that I get to try on different lives and different perspectives from my own. You can imagine Scott's delight when I asked him to take me shooting for the purpose of research.
We had a fun and surreal afternoon at the firing range. Scott says I'm a regular Annie Oakley. He's now confident that when the zombies come, I'll successfully defend our homestead.

I'll admit it upfront, the ideas I'm going to discuss I've borrowed heavily from Frederic Bastiat who wrote a shortish work called The Law, it would definitely be worth your time to read it. That doesn't mean these aren't also my own thoughts. No one can truly claim to be the first to come up with an idea – we are merely created beings after all. But the ideas that we adopt and use are indeed ours – as evidenced by how we live our lives.
Government is, in its simplest conception, an institution to provide self-defense at a corporate level for a group of people.
Think about it this way – what is the most precious gift we are given by God? Life itself, correct? One of the responsibilities he gives us is to look after this life to the best of our ability. This includes defending it from mortal danger. If a small town appoints a sheriff, that sheriff understands that he acts with the authority of the people who selected him. His job is to prevent those who wish to cause harm to the community from doing so. If the town is faced with their possible destruction from a neighboring town, they will raise an army of those capable of defending the town. But at all times that army understands it is acting as an arm of the people of the town.
The reason I go with a microcosm example is to make it clear what the purpose of the law enforcement/military arms of our government should be for – to protect and defend the community. It's not as if the government exists independently – mysteriously drawing its power to force those under its authority to its will.
I have to make such an obvious statement because governments have existed so long; people begin to assume that they must be subjected to them. The Founders of America understood the need for a government as well as anyone, but they further recognized the true purpose of government, and underwent a monumental effort to refute the thousands of years of top down authoritarian styled government, and instituted a government to "form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and ensure the blessings of liberty, to ourselves and our posterity".
I hope most of you recognized that quote. If not, take a moment and Google the preamble to the constitution. That statement gives us a window into the very purpose of the government that we have here in the USA. If you don't understand it, and it's purpose, then you don't understand what our government should (and should not) be doing.
This may be too long of a digression to complete, and if so perhaps I'll write a whole post on it next time, but naked democracy is NOT the answer to tyranny. It seems to answer all the prerequisites on the surface, it responds to the will of the people in general, avoids the completely arbitrary nature of a tyrant, and provides the ability to change laws that hurt people more than help. The short and simple reason a direct democracy is not a good idea is the fact that a simple majority (50.1%) has the ability to tyrannize the minority of the population. There are other reasons, many of which were written about by our founding fathers in their discussions about forms of government. It should be noted that our form of government started as a Constitutional Republic, but has been slowly degraded to more of a Democratic Republic, with many who would love to move it all the way to a democracy.
So how does my original example of government protecting the people fit in with modern governance, which educates, provides welfare for, and in various ways takes care of people in the fashion that we would traditionally ascribe to what a family and a church would do?
Well in many ways it does. We have a system of laws designed to allow the ordinary man, who wishes no one else harm, the ability to live in peace, and prosperity if he is willing to work for it. These laws allow the punishment of those who harm others in a systematic, in not perfectly just, manner. These laws are enforced by a combination of the executive and judicial branches of our government, and are created by the legislative.
On the flip, in many ways our current government does not accomplish its original goal, to serve by protecting. This is reflected in laws and regulations that overly burden private enterprise, criminalize activities that don't harm to others (Thanks EPA), and an expansive government that causes subservience by dependency.
Next time, I'm going to look at why we were not give a direct democracy by our founders, and why our slide into such has created discrepancies between what our government does today, and what it should do ideally.

Who (and what) did we vote for in Fayette?
Which races most interested Fayette voters? The vote totals tell the tale: With a nearly 79 percent turnout, Fayette voters chose the presidential race as the most important, followed by the renewal of the education local option sales tax (E-SPLOST).
Following those two were the charter school amendment, the statewide Public Service Commission race involving Chuck Eaton and then the Post 2 Board of Education race between Mary Kay Bacallao and Terri Smith.
More than 58,400 Fayette Countians cast ballots for Mitt Romney, Barack Obama and Gary Johnson (the Libertarian candidate) in the ballot-topping race.
In the local E-SPLOST question, 56,250 residents voted. Next were the charter school amendment (55,767), the PSC race (54,319) and then the Bacallao-Smith race (54,218).
With all precincts reporting, the E-SPLOST passed with 53.72 percent of the vote and Mary Kay Bacallao won the Post 2 seat on the Fayette County Board of Education with 64.81 percent.
Also, Fayetteville voters have approved the TAD referendum 2-to-1, according to the Fayette County Elections Office.
By the numbers, here are the final unofficial tallies:
School Board Post 2 —
Mary Kay Bacallao (R) — 35,165 (64.81 pct)
Terri Smith (incumbent) (D) — 19,053 (35.11 pct)
E-SPLOST renewal —
Yes — 30,218 (53.72 pct)
No — 26,032 (46.28 pct)
Charter school Amendment 1 (Fayette results only) —
Yes — 34,465 (61.8 pct)
No — 21,302 (38.2 pct)
Fayetteville Tax Allocation District referendum (2 precincts in Fayetteville only)
Yes — 3,499 (69.88%)
No — 1,508 (30.12%)
U.S. President (Fayette only) —
Mitt Romney (R) — 38, 046 (65.07%)
Barack Obama (D) — 19,703 (33.7%)
Gary Johnson (L) — 724 (1.24%)
I was astounded to learn that Romney got 2-3 million votes less than John McCain. One report said Obama got 8 million less votes than before.
You have to wonder with the shape that the country is in why people were not showing up.
I did show up and vote. But I can understand those that have given up. I believe Jessie Ventura when he says politics is like wrestling. The Repubs and Dems each talk about how they're the good guys and the other side is evil and they'll kick the other sides butt. But it's all a show. We the people are not offered a real choice. We're stuck with the 2 parities that have failed us for years. Part of the game that the political parties use to pacify the people is to make us think we have a choice. That is why we're encouraged to vote. So that we'll believe that we actually have some say in this process but you're only real choice is dumb or dumber.
Couldn't agree more.
Easy one--sorry campaign run by Repubs--the RNC should be ashamed.
That is quite a decline from 2008 and sort of shows the disenchantment with the whole political process and a thumb's down to the two bozos running for the highest office in the land. It's like militant apathy.
I went with Gary Johnson Libertarian and he didn't even manage to scratch the surface either. If the LP could get 5%, they'd qualify for federal matching funds and not have to spend all their time and money getting on the ballot in some states, but it doesn't appear that the general public gives a crap except for the fervent support Ron Paul has among way too few.
If someone had told me 20 or 30 years ago that there would be more states that allow gay marriage than "legalized" marijuana in 2013, I would have told them they were complete idiots. Amazing how effective the gay lobby people are and how totally ineffective the anti-drug war crowd is.
will "morhp" in order to meet the national mood. Conceivably, classical right-thinking conservatives could end in their own caucus separate from the mainline GOP. Of course, this could create strong forces which could drive the party into opposing camps. I suspect we know the road that will lead to.
Cyclical theory at work.
Much more to come.
I couldn't care less if Presberg is a democrat, independent, republican, or nothing at all! I didn't know what his religeon was, and if I had known, it certainly would not have mattered one iota to me.
What does matter is this: Presberg knew about Bearden's job application but kept that information from Todd and Key.
I have served on serveral boards of directors, including a public company, and I can assure you I took my fiduciary duty very seriously.
Presberg violated his fiduciary duty to share information of a material nature with other members of the board, and for that, he should never be trusted in the future. Several people have expressed the same sentiment that I have, and if there was an election tomorrow, I bet anything Presberg would be removed from office for his breach of trust.
Are you just pissed (using YOUR vulgar language from a previous blog response to me) because Smith was soundly rejected or can you just not deal with defeat?
Actually, I voted for Mary Kay...not because of the issues you continually pointed out which were highly negative, but because Mary Kay's credentials as an educator impressed me and felt that she would be a great fit on FCBOE. Its a great mix with Marchman as a business professor, Mary Kay as an education professor and Presburg as an attorney.
As someone who has served on boards, you should know that can't be negative all the time.
I think Terri is a wonderful person and appreciate her 12 years of service, and yes, I did contribute to her campaign partially due to the attacking behavior. No one deserves that.
Why are you attacking Presburg yet show no outrage on Bearden's lump sum payment and confidentiality agreement. Is that not a breach of trust?
I believe in accountability and want to make sure that the focus is on all 3 not just one.
I apologize for my language, I don't like defeat and was up late last night waiting for Mitt to speak.
I think you will find that a lot of people from conservative circles like the TEA Party are willing to give Presburg a chance. I am holding judgement until we see where he wants to take us.
I voted for the ESPLOST only because Presburg, Todd, Bacallao and Marchman did not deserve to start in a seriously deep hole when they had nothing to do with digging the hole in the first place (it's deep enough as is). I pray they can get things back on the right track as we are all depending on the value our school system provides.
Thank you for supporting the Esplost and for understanding its importance.
I think that we need to allow the FCBOE an opportunity to do its job....in fairness to all 5 members.
Obviously, Mr. Richter didn't get the "memo" and appears to want to "selectively" start on Mr. Presburg. As we ALL know, there are issues (of public trust) surrounding the 3 current members so in all fairness to the entire board, I propose we stop, and allow them to work, or not, and continue on this on track....Jim's choice.
I am really hoping you agree and we can have some peace here. In all fairness.
Read AmericanPatriots comments below!
Notice the Tea Party Flag & Eagle.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion but as long as morons like this continue to attack people, especially Mr Presberg who voted NO on the Bearden severance package and confidentiality agreement and who busted his ass meeting with PTOs across the county, how could anyone rejoin the "party".
It's a bull comment! And Husband & Father of 2 is 100%.
Every now and then you come up with utter moronic nonsense!
The eagle and the flag have absolutely nothing to do with the Tea Party. I am a Navy veteran and a patriot and I just happened to like the image.
Nice image...
However...what about the lump sum severance package and confidentiality approved by Todd and Key, guess that will just quietly go away as you ramp up your attack on Presburg!
Is that the cover up strategy? Point in another direction on some baseless allegation that Presburg is guilty by some odd association. If there were 4 members on the FCBOE at the time Presburg was appointed, it would take atleast 3 to approve him...which one do you think did, Todd or Key?
Meanwhile why are Todd and Key not being held accountable for their actions?
A CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT surrounding a payment using our tax dollars, and you point fingers at Presburg.
I call BULLS%#T on your orginal post! Not that I care to know, but I suspect you are either covering up for Todd & Key by deflecting to Presburg, hate Presburg because he's a Democrat or you are troubled that he is Jewish. The meeting at PTC City Hall where Presburg was grilled for not revealing his religious beliefs with over 100 in attendence confirms that issue exists in Fayette, as did Mr. Barlow's display of affection at an FCBOE meeting.
Why I don't like Leonard
Severely padded ,insinuated and or feigned experience and qualifications in his BOE resume.
Listed himself on spokeo and LinkedIn page as BOE chairman the day BEFORE the vote and then voted for himself.
Voted to settle with the NAACP without consulting city council.
Accosted a child in public over an incident that had nothing to do with him.
Knowingly and willingly with held pertinent information from other board members regarding Bearden's
Aspirations with Floyd county Before the termination agreement.
Etc. etc. etc
So I call BULLS*#T on both you and Pressberg.
And again you make assumptions about things you know nothing about.
By your own admission You have never spoken to Key or Todd to attempt to find out. You speak with no knowledge and 1/2 the information.
I have not seen his resume, and do not know about Linkedin or Spokeo, clearly you appear to be watching him closely, good for you So hopefully you are watching all of them! As for your facts let's recap
1-NAACP vote per legal recommedation, well he was new - same excuse for Todd on voting for Rivers...let's hold everyone accountable then, even newbies..
Fair and balanced.
2-Accosted child - strong words, thats not what I read in the paper, and talk about piss poor behavior on the part of child and parent and dad's letter to editor to defend himself, please! I wasn't there to witness, were you? All I can go by is the newspaper.
3-Withholding information, Todd and Key surprised? After the letter they sent to the editor and comments they made to administrators that Bearden would be fired in January, really? Oh, we will never know will we, we have a confidentiality agreement.
Meanwhile whose investigating the payout and confidentiality agreement - I suspect no one is! That's the issue, forget about Presburg..$180,000 of taxpaper money was spent in a executive meeting and wrapped in an agreement to hide the facts from taxpapers.
Here are the FACTS we know
4 FCBOE members, Smith, Smola, Todd and Key voted for a 1 time payout with a confidentiality agreement with tax dollars.
Meanwhile, I'm not defending Presburg, you can hate him all you want...But let's focus on the real issue here
Oh, and if I do call Todd and Key, you think they re going to violate the confidentiality agreement they signed?
Your eyes are brown. Yes I do watch closely when it comes to my children's education. May be you should try to be informed instead of using 1/2 the facts. You do know Presberg's resume was in the paper.. Boy your slow.. Rivers compared to the NAACP split vote , apples and oranges. Oh you said it was a Legal reommendation Really....that was discussed in executive session.. and pray tell how would you know That?!?! hmmmmmm.Now lets get to those "comments "to who... You rely a lot on hear say.. and second hand info or were you there? Your just a little gossip monger . I actually talk to administrators , teachers, staff and yes BOE members and parents. That what keeps me obviously more aware and informed of what is and has been going on than you and "I heard tell from a neighbor's, friend's ,hairdresser's ,cousin said he said...". You make me laugh .. believe me I'm doing a lot of investigation on this non-disclosure BS. So now it's clear Your so full of BS it's runnin out your ears. ;-)
As for your comments, I understand that you are active in the schools, that's great, but to make a claim I am not is not totally accurate.
As for me, either directly or indirectly through my company we are in the schools at least 3 or 4 days a week, working with administrators and teachers donating time, money and resources to help cover budget deficits with supplies, mentoring and other services. Most recently, we provided financial support for the ESplost renewal and co-sponsored the recent FCBOE Candidate's Forum.
We spent money to promote the ESplost renewal because we witness almost every day, the shortages the schools face in such basics as pencils for CRCT testing, tissues and other essentials. We are also a member of PIE within the Chamber.
So far, this year, we have donated slightly over $50,000 in funds, that does not include our time spent on special programs and presentations requested by schools. That is why we are one of only a few county wide Partner in Education with the Chamber and I suspect we are in the top 5 companies in the county that spends this much in time and money in Fayette schools. I am sure Delta Credit Union, Kwanis and one or two banks provide more.
I believe we can agree to disagree on selected issues, but we both share a passion for the schools.
I am thankful for the education my daughter received so we give back at every chance and will remain active even though my child graduated 3 years ago.
Hopefully this clears up your assumptions as to my level of involvement.
Thank you.
Since you feel the need to keep reposting and updating your response I will oblige and answer. As typical you miss the point of what was said. No where can you find that I said you or your company were not involved in schools. Albeit through proxy of your company , staff and donating items and monies along with some interaction yourself. ( for profit) . That is the nature of your business. Kudos . I called you out into how much interaction with students, parents, stake holders administrators, BOE members , school staff from cafeteria workers to bus drivers and custodians etc. and background research you have done. By your own admission you have never spoken with two board members ,but continue to spout hearsay without investigation or enquiry. I have and still do interact on daily basis nigh on twenty years here in the Fayette county system with those I mentioned and frequently with BOE members past and present. You come in here without looking and discussing with ALL involved from top to bottom. I have mentored, coached , taught and counseled , donated my time and my families time and personal money and continue to do so. Once again read what I said and comprehend. Your involvement was not called out. Only your knowledge of facts surrounding the current and past situations impacting the Fayette county school system.
So, try again.
Have a great night.
and cup or you would have really been in trouble. LOL P>S> Thanks for your service--I have a specal place in my heart for sailors-both active and retired.
This is getting creepy. Are you, like, in love with Leo or something? And I suspect that you are H&F of 2 (or you know who is). Keep it up. It's always good for a laugh! I'm rotflmao right now! Have an awesome night.
Nope, don't know Husband & Father of 2.
Glad you find it funny....
At least 650 democrat voters had the good sense to not vote the straight ticket!
I was surprised to see there were that many people in Fayette County who did not understand just how much damage Smith and her pal Smola did to our school system.
What a record of failure!
Smith and Smola will be nothing but an unhappy memory after 12/31/12. Unfortunately, the new board will be left to sort out the mess these two made.
I supect we will have yet another one, Leonard Presberg, to vote out of office in the next voting cycle. After all, he was not our choice - he was Bearden's choice and he was supported almost exclusively by Bearden, Smith and Smola.
Voting Ms. Smith out of office was the only thing anyone could do following all of her poor decisions.
We hope and pray that Mary Kay does a fantastic job. The FCBOE has a lot of work to do and we can expect school closures, larger class sizes, lay-offs, ect... Hopefully the full board will make sound decisions.
I do not believe however that Mr. Presburg is the problem. Had the commisioner elect Mr. Barlow not made a fool of himself at the board meeting, I don't think anyone had a problem with this gentlemans resume. He was selected based on the rules governing our county. And he voted for himself because he beleives he is a qualified and good leader. Someone in that position needs to have the self assurance to lead. I have been watching and approve of his decisions and how he makes himself available. Sometimes people have to learn to close their mouths and listen.
Sorry to start an argument over my silly opinion. I however don't believe for one second that Todd / Key / Smith / Smola / Pressburg didn't know or didn't think that Dr. Bearden wouldn't be at minimum putting feelers out for job openings after the letter written by Todd and Key this past summer. These people can't be that naive.
To agree to a confidential agreement tells any sensible person that the the board did something wrong and has something to hide. Does it have something to do with Smith, Smola, Pressburg, Todd, or Key? Guess we will eventually find out. We're a small community and eventually something will leak.
Building a school on speculation and now only having 18 kids in it is just wrong. Building on speculation should be used in private enterprises (Donald Trump) not a school board utilizing taxpayer monies. Build it and they will come is a great line in a movie, but not with people's hard earned tax money.
Approving school budgets utilizing rainy day funds until exhausted was another nail in the coffin. Anyone in the private sector that isn't standing up waving the caution flag when they see this happening would be fired. Why didn't any of our present school board members not stand on the Dias every meeting screaming we have to do something now to right the ship.
While I believe that Ms. Smith had to go, I am not enamored with the winner. But she was the best of two evils.
We are all in for a big surprise and a lot of unhappy faces when the budget is approved next year. We will need to downsize top to bottom. However our kids will adapt, survive, and do well.
One has to wonder about the motives of the Tea Party regarding the school budget. They have a nice PowerPoint presentation and I agree with many of their points, but they are a few years late raising the red flag. They have some very bright people running the organization and I commend them for their due diligence, but they can do better by promoting quality people instead of commissioners who file bankruptcy, make fools of themselves in public forums and teachers who clearly lack the financial knowledge to say they will not close schools when we all know this has to occur.
We have to be critical thinkers here, question everything, and not believe everything we read on the Internet.
At least the BOE now has at least a CHANCE to address the serious financial crisis without either Smith and Smola around to create or compound the problems yet again.
School Board Post 2 —
Mary Kay Bacallao (R) — 35,165 (64.81 pct)
Terri Smith (incumbent) (D) — 19,053 (35.11 pct)
since it is thought she became a Democrate in hopes all Dems would vote a straight ticket and elect her....can we assume since
Obama 19,703 and
Terri got 19,053.....
that some of them didn't even vote for her?

US loses AAA credit rating after S&P downgrade
One of the world's leading credit rating agencies, Standard & Poor's, has downgraded the United States' top-notch AAA rating for the first time ever.
S&P cut the long-term US rating by one notch to AA+ with a negative outlook, citing concerns about budget deficits.
The agency said the deficit reduction plan passed by the US Congress on Tuesday did not go far enough.
Correspondents say the downgrade could erode investors' confidence in the world's largest economy.
It is already struggling with huge debts, unemployment of 9.1% and fears of a possible double-dip recession.
The downgrade is a major embarrassment for the administration of President Barack Obama and could raise the cost of US government borrowing.
This in turn could trickle down to higher interest rates for local governments and individuals.
The US losing its AAA rating matters. It is a very loud statement that there has been an appreciable increase in the risk - which might still be tiny, but it exists - that the US might one day struggle to pay back all it owes. Another important certainty in the world of finance has gone.
Of course many will argue - and already have - that the record of ratings agencies such as Standard & Poor's of getting these things right in recent years has been lamentably poor. Think of all the subprime CDO products rated AAA by S&P that turned out to be garbage.
But S&P, Moody's and Fitch (and particularly the first two) still have a privileged official position in the world of finance: they determine what collateral can be taken by central banks from commercial banks, when those central banks lend to commercial banks.
However, some analysts said with debt woes across much of the developed world, US debt remained an attractive option for investors.
The other two major credit rating agencies, Moody's and Fitch, said on Friday night they had no immediate plans to follow S&P in taking the US off their lists of risk-free borrowers.
'Flawed judgement'Officials in Washington told US media that the agency's sums were deeply flawed.
Unnamed sources were quoted as saying that a treasury official had spotted a $2 trillion [£1.2 trillion] mistake in the agency's analysis.
"A judgment flawed by a $2tn error speaks for itself," a US treasury department spokesman said of the S&P analysis. He did not offer any immediate explanation.
John Chambers, chairman of S&P's sovereign ratings committee, told CNN that the US could have averted a downgrade if it had resolved its congressional stalemate earlier.
"The first thing it could have done is raise the debt ceiling in a timely manner so the debate would have been avoided to begin with," he said.
International reaction to the S&P move has been mixed.
China, the world's largest holder of US debt, had "every right now to demand the United States address its structural debt problems and ensure the safety of China's dollar assets," said a commentary in the official Xinhua news agency.
"International supervision over the issue of US dollars should be introduced and a new, stable and secured global reserve currency may also be an option to avert a catastrophe caused by any single country," the commentary said.
However, officials in Japan, South Korea and Australia have urged a calm response to the downgrade.
The S&P announcement comes after a week of turmoil on global stock markets, partly triggered by fears over the US economy's recovery and the eurozone crisis.
Continue reading the main storyS&P had threatened the downgrade if the US could not agree to cut its federal debt by at least $4tn over the next decade.
Instead, the bill passed by Congress on Tuesday plans $2.1tn in savings over 10 years.
S&P said the Republicans and Democrats had only been able to agree "relatively modest savings", which fell "well short" of what had been envisaged.
The agency also noted that the legislation delegates the lion's share of savings to a bipartisan committee, which must report back to Congress in November on where the axe should fall.
The bill - which also raises the federal debt ceiling by up to $2.4tn, from $14.3tn, over a decade - was passed on Tuesday just hours before the expiry of a deadline to raise the US borrowing limit.
S&P ratings (selected)
- AAA: UK, France, Germany, Canada, Australia
- AA+: USA, Belgium, New Zealand
- AA-: Japan, China
Source: S&P
S&P said in its report issued late on Friday: "The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilise the government's medium-term debt dynamics.
"More broadly, the downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges."
The agency said it might lower the US long-term rating another notch to AA within the next two years if its deficit reduction measures were deemed inadequate.
S&P noted that the bill passed by Congress this week did not include new revenues - Republicans had staunchly opposed President Barack Obama's calls for tax rises to help pay off America's deficit.
The credit agency also noted that the legislation contained only minor policy changes to Medicare, an entitlement programme dear to Democrats.
"The political brinksmanship of recent months highlights what we see as America's governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable than what we previously believed," it added.

Spanking is hitting the buttocks of another person to cause them pain, but without injuring them. Spanking normally involves one person hitting the buttocks of another person with an open hand.
Spanking is used to punish children and teenagers for unacceptable behavior. Historically, boys have been more frequently spanked than girls.[1][2][3][4][5]
Usually in a spanking, the child lies across the parent's lap, and the parent brings their open hand down upon the child's buttocks. Alternatively, the youngster might be told to bend over, or lie face down across a bed. Spankings may be delivered over the trousers, over the underwear, or on the bare bottom. People who approve of spanking say that the bottom is the safest place to hit the child, since there is little danger of injury to this part of the body.

Eight years ago a locally bred horse, Papillon, won the Aintree Grand National. Papillon, ridden by twenty year old Ruby Walsh and trained by the jockey's father, Ted, was an outsider at odds of 33-1.
Last year an American genealogist discovered that it appears that the great-great-great-grandfather of Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, the Democratic candidate for President, has connections with Moneygall on the Offaly / Tipperary border. The records showed that Barack's ancestor, Fulmuth Kearney, was reared in Moneygall, then left for America in 1850, when he was nineteen years of age.
