Profile: Marty Wiseman
Marty Wiseman grew up watching his father campaign for office by handing potential voters matchbooks with his name on them. He also grew up making his own political observations.
As the son of a state legislator, politics is a natural part of Wiseman's life. From spotting trends in grassroots rural politics in Mississippi's 1st Congressional District to observing nuances in this year's historic presidential election-Wiseman knows politics.
As director of the John C. Stennis Institute of Government and a professor of political science at Mississippi State, Wiseman oversees government studies for the Mississippi legislature, conducts seminars for county and city officials, and teaches students about the many facets of government. With his fascination with politics from the national level all the way down to the county and city level, Wiseman enjoys discussing how elected leaders want to shape government that affects everyone.
"It's just as much a spectator sport as football, basketball or baseball," Wiseman said.
He tries to instill an interest in government in students, helping them see how government affects them in their daily lives.

The End of Florida's FCAT Brings Big Changes and Obstacles To Escambia County Schools

The End of Florida's FCAT Brings Big Changes and Obstacles To Escambia County Schools
By: Kelly Woodard
Teachers, parents, and students breathe a sigh of relief as this week marks the last time state students will take the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, known as the FCAT. The test, which by this time next year will be replaced by a new Common Core-aligned assessment, has been the topic of controversy for years.
The Florida Commission on Education Reform and Accountability under Gov. Lawton Chiles gave birth to the test in 1995. It was part of a series of recommendations that were meant to give local districts more control and a better sense of how their schools were doing. FCAT scores were then tallied ultimately giving each school a grade, A-F. The "grade" each school was given factored into funding, student advancement and whether a school required intervention.
So what's next in the classroom?
The non-profit American Institutes for Research was chosen to design the new test. It's still in development, which is a huge concern for teachers and superintendents. Escambia County teacher Susan Hill said, "We're setting both teachers and students up for failure when we don't have the standards written and the end of course exams that teachers are going to have to be implementing next year don't even exist yet."
That being said, the new test is meant to be a better, more-comprehensive assessment. In both language arts and math, students are to take a series of exams with the scores combined into one final mark for each subject. In addition, students will now be taken these tests on computers rather than paper test packets allowing for speedier test results, cheaper printing costs, and the end of the hassle and security risk of collecting tests from more than 80 public schools in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
However, Escambia County Schools Superintendent Malcolm Thomas believes this new technology could cause bigger problems for our area schools. "We are going to need far more computers in every school to make the new testing efficient. Unfortunately, Escambia county just doesn't have the funding to keep up with the demand," Thomas said.
Thomas went on to say, "Our hope is that we are able to find the funding, supply the students and teachers with the equipment they need, and get this technology in our classrooms because our students need real world application. They need to know how to use advanced technology to become relevant in the future workforce."
There is no word yet on any future plans to up the budget for technology in Escambia County schools, but Hill remains optimistic. "Although I'm not sure where the money will come from or how we are going to handle the changes, I think that the school board has the right attitude. Our kids need to learn not only what is on these tests, but how to adjust to a new way of testing and the use of new technology."

The first year of study at LARA focuses the fundamentals of drawing, this is the most important element of any artistic development and the back bone of LARA's process. Without a throrough foundation in drawing most problems in your artistic development are all too often difficult to resolve. Invariably they derive from fundamental drawing issues such as, proportion, value and shape. We can't emphasis enough how important it is to truly master drawing before you decide on painting.
Each day students spend three hour sessions drawing and eventually painting from the nude model. Typically these poses are sustained long poses spanning a number of weeks, providing the student with ample time to study the figure in depth.
The remaining three hours are devoted to a series of studio assignments, which begin with the initial cast drawing exercises, and lead to developing an accomplished finished painting by the end of the curriculum.
Figure Drawing
Figure drawing is the basis of all good draughtsmanship, and for this reason drawing from life is the foundation of LARA's curriculum. The course focuses on various distinct elements of drawing the figure from life, initially through the simple use of outline to focus the student's mind towards achieving accuracy and excellent construction. The emphasis then shifts to working with mass and outline, followed by full value drawings in which every aspect of drawing the figure is tackled.
Pencil Figure Drawing
Students initially focus on developing a competent outline drawing, to understand the foundations of a good figure drawing, such as sound proportions, lively gesture, and strong construction. The skills learned at this level are carried forward to every part of the curriculum.
Charcoal Figure Drawing
Charcoal introduces the student to working in masses with a broad range of values, allowing them to make a highly naturalistc impression of the figure. It also provides a naturalistic progression into painting: here edges, shapes and accurately translated values play just as important a role as they do in figure drawing.
Cast Drawing
The white surface of a cast allows the the student to study and translate forms without the complexities of local value and texture. This is the point in the programme at which the eye is most intensively conditioned and trained to see and translate nature with convincing accuracy, as well as instilling a deep understanding of the mechanics of light and value. Great emphasis is placed on the design of shapes and edges. Students make an initial two value block-in drawing of a simple cast to familiarise themselves with working in sight-size, before moving into full value charcoal drawings, in which capturing a convincing impression of light plays a major role.

Tributes pour in for 'outstanding' Cumbrian politician Hugh Little
Last updated at 12:45, Tuesday, 26 February 2013
Tributes from across the political spectrum have been paid to one of Carlisle's leading Labour politicians.
Hugh Little – a former mayor, war veteran and ex-leader of both Carlisle City and Cumbria County councils – died at Eden Valley Hospice in Carlisle on Sunday.
His sister Mary Styth, from Ellesmere Way, said that Hugh was a "loving family man" and a wonderful brother to his brothers and sisters.
She added: "He was a shining example of leadership for the city of Carlisle, for the county and for northern England in general. His wonderful leadership shone whatever the task was."
Hugh, who was in his late 80s, and Mary are the only brother and sister to have been mayors of Carlisle.
His grandson, Tom Little, said: "My grandad was a loving man and an inspiration to our family.
"He accomplished a great deal in his life and was respected by many, but I know that for him his biggest achievement would be meeting his wife of 64 years, Molly. They loved each other dearly, something I always admired."
Stewart Young, the deputy leader of Cumbria County Council and leader of the Labour group, said that Hugh had made a huge contribution.
He said: "He was an outstanding politician – he really was a dominant on both the city, and subsequently the county council, but also regionally. He was respected and admired on all sides. He was a conscientious politician."
Mr Young said that although Hugh's health had deteriorated in recent months his mind was still sharp and he was very interested in what was going on.
John Collier, a Conservative member of the city council, said Hugh always had a kind word for everyone and was very helpful to him when he was first elected in 1979.
He said: "He was a genuine fellow and I'm very sorry for Molly and the family. He never had any airs and graces. For some it goes to their heads but not him."
City councillor Heather Bradley, the secretary of the Carlisle Constituency Labour Party, said: "He will be remembered by many people for his outstanding public service and political leadership, his encouragement and mentoring of young members and his continuing lively interest in politics as he got older."
John Mallinson, the leader of Carlisle City Council's Conservative Group, said that 'Hughie' was a lovely man and one of the few who had managed to transcend party politics.
He added: "We had a very warm and friendly relationship. He was enormously proud of Carlisle and I just liked him.
"He was always happy and events like mayor-making would never be missed. Now he's no longer with us we will miss him. He put an awful lot into Carlisle."
A lifelong Labour Party member, Hugh was awarded the OBE and given the freedom of the city in honour of his services to local government.

Video:Install Crown Moldingwith Steve Crider
Want to add visual excitement to a room? Consider installing crown molding. Watch how to cut and cope crown molding.See Transcript
Transcript:Install Crown MoldingHi, I'm Steve Crider for About.com Home. Crown molding is one of those things homeowners would like to add to their home. It gives visual appeal. And if you can do it yourself you can save a lot of money.
Crown Molding BasicsBefore you tackle that crown molding job there are a couple of basics I need to show you just to get you going.
There are two ways to cut inside corners on crown molding. Simple miters butted together are great if you are going to caulk and paint. If you are going to stain, however, wood has a tendency to shrink over time, and these miters will open up.
Coping the joint is a more forgiving way and will help hide defects over time. I'll show you how to do that next.
Prepare the Miter SawThis is the back fence of your miter saw. When you cut crown molding, that molding is going to rest up against that fence. If your fence isn't tall enough, you can screw on some homemade extensions like we're doing here.
Or, you can dip into the tool fund, head down to the home store, and buy a saw that has a really big fence to begin with. Because, you know, half the fun of any project is buying new tools.
Cut the Crown Molding With a Miter SawOne of the most confusing things for someone who cuts crown for the first time is understanding that in a miter saw, when you cut crown, you cut it upside down. That means that the fence of the saw represents the wall; the base of the saw represents the ceiling.
Cut Crown Molding at a Precise AngleA good crown job relies on precise angles. One of the most critical factors is making sure you get the molding into the saw correctly. If you have the flat portion of your crown molding flat against the fence, you're good to go.
If your saw comes equipped with crown molding stops, use them. It's paying attention to those details that will ensure much more professional results.
Cut the Inside MiterThe first step to coping that joint is cutting the inside miter. So set your saw for 45 degrees and go to it.
After you cut your miter, the next step is to get rid of this waste. If you have never done this before, a helpful tip is to outline the profile the miter with a pencil. This will give you a better line to follow with your coping saw.
Cut Away the WasteNow, put your molding on a solid surface with an overhang. Take your coping saw and slowly and carefully, begin cutting away that waste.
Coping, if you're not familiar with it, is simply cutting away a profile of one piece of molding so it fits over another piece of molding. Finally, a little strategic sanding can help ensure a nice, tight fit.
Install the Crown MoldingNow it's time to test our work. Start first by slipping the butt joint up against the wall. And now the moment of truth--sweet! It looks like a miter, but through the years, when the wood starts to shrink, it won't open up like one.

Her hands will become animated, as much to make a connection as to punctuate a point. She likes to tough people lightly on the arm or, more emphatically, point at them when they say something she likes. She laughs as if everything you say is comedic gold.

Free condoms being given away to high school students in the city. The project starts on Monday.
The condoms are free to the district and they are getting them from the New York State Health Department. A lot of people are divided about the idea.
On Monday, any student can visit the school nurse and ask for a condom.
Here's why the district is doing it:
In 2010, there were 1,000 children born to teenage moms in city zip codes. This year, there are more than 680 children in kindergarten who have teenage moms. That's enough to fill 31 kindergarten classes.
Half of all new HIV infections in the city happen in people 15 to 24. And a school district survey showed that almost 60% of city high school students are sexually active.
Jerome Underwood, Senior Director of Youth of Development and Family Services, said, "If we can prevent one child from contracting an STD or HIV, it's absolutely worth it."
But what do parents think.
Tracy Langley, a mother of four, said, "As a parent, come to me. I want to be able to have that relationship with my child that she can come to me as a child and have that conversation and have the proper things and talk and do what we're supposed to do as a family."
Renee Donaldson, mother, said, "It's a good thing for the kids that can't talk to their parents and they need someone to talk to or go to. It's better to be safe than sorry."
There is an opt-out option for parents. They can fill out a form saying they don't want their child to have access to the condoms.
Underwood said, "So if they have children in the district that they do not want to participate, that option is there."
The district mailed out 8,000 letters to parents with the opt-out form. The district says 1 ½ to 2% of the opt out forms were signed and sent back. That's only 160.
One health organization said they think it would be more fair to parents if it were an opt-in program. Parents can opt out anytime they want.
If you, as a parent, want to get more information on this program and talk with your kids, here's a copy of this form.

While Beats Music will soon be owned by Apple, the music service does not easily integrate with iTunes. For instance, there is no official Beats tool to link your iTunes library for streaming from Beats Music. However, an unofficial tool called Beats Importer is a temporary solution that seems to work well for adding iTunes and Rdio Playlists to your Beats Music library. We've compiled a tutorial for importing your iTunes Playlists to Beats Music, below:
Step 1: Go to www.beatsimporter.com.
Step 2: Login to your Beats Music account via the "Connect to Beats" button.
Step 3: Create an iTunes XML file of an individual Playlist. To do this, go to the left side of your iTunes Player, right click on the name of a Playlist, and click the Export option.
Step 4: In the Export menu, be sure to save the file in the XML format. You should save it to your Desktop for easy access from the Beats Importer website.
Step 5: Select the XML file you just created via the iTunes import section on the Beats Import website. Click Submit. Provide a Playlist name for Beats. Select the XML file from your Desktop again. Click Submit again.
Step 6: The iTunes Playlist, after a few minutes of rendering through the Beats Importer website, should show up in your Beats Music library. Some testers are reporting mixed results, but the process worked well in my own tests. So, your milage may vary.
Other Music Services: For those who use Rdio or other music services, the website allows you to import public Rdio Playlists by entering your username or you can import CSV files. Beats Importer says that it is working on solutions for importing songs from both Spotify and Grooveshark to Beats Music.
While this (beta) solution seems to work (at least for now), Apple and Beats should work together on making a more fluid iTunes import experience. If the music market is moving to a streaming model and if Apple is investing heavily in the future of its music business, it should create an easy-to-use solution for its customers to move to Beats Music streaming as well. The Apple acquisition of Beats is planned to close in Q4 of this year, so hopefully the two companies have a solution ready around that time.

Why in the world would ANYONE move from Rdio to Beats? Rdio just does so much right that Beats and Spotify fails on. I wish apple would have bought Rdio instead. Their apps and features are just extremely polished. I tried to like Beats, then Spotify won me back with their new way of collecting music, but i ended up being unhappy with how you have to drill down from Artists and it just shows a big list of songs instead of then seeing the albums by that artist. Moved over to Rdio and haven't looked back. The remote control function on Rdio is amazing too.
I been an radio user for 2 years. Love the service but 2 weeks ao started using beats and the curated playlist recommendation are simply wonderful. I switched from radio to beats and i don't think I'm going back.
I lost interest on both spotify and radio when i am listening to folk music radio and some stupid trance song comes along to kill my vibe.
I'm with you, Nate. I'm a Lala and MOG refugee. After those services were shut down, I did my homework and landed at Rdio. It's better than Spotify, and Beats, well, that service doesn't deserve consideration at this point. It's awful.
Great post. Very useful.
Mark.. Thanks for the press! As you stated in the article it's still beta.. So apologies to any users who had issues today (I know a few did). One was that there is a 500 song limit for a playlist on the Beats side.. Quite a few folks hit that and I have a fix to upload shortly so check back soon. . Feel free to comment here (I'll keep an eye on it) or thru the site (my email address is there). Thanks again Mark!
i reckon Apple would have this function in the near future, no?
how do I transfer playlists from beats to spotify?

Review quote
"She writes with a beautiful clarity, an elemental humanity and a marvellous, limpid, funny, apprehension of what goes on" -- Jane Shilling Sunday Telegraph "Some of the most honest, intuitive and exacting fiction, long or short, of our time" -- Tom Gatti The Times "Munro's bold, unflinching narratives have taken the short story places many a novelist has feared to tread... That she does this in a style both calm and deliberate, fluid yet tightly controlled, stark yet compassionate, is what makes her insights into the human condition so profound" -- Mary Crockett Scotsman "Written with veteran assurance, brimming with intensely believable characters and rich social detail, these dispatches from the most unsparing reaches of Munro's imagination confirm her acclaimed place on the highest ground of contemporary fiction" -- Peter Kemp Sunday Times "Alice Munro commands enormous respect and almost uncritical adoration from her readers" -- Elaine Showalter Literary Review

Cell Phone Policy
The Hillsdale Housing Commission provides cellular telephones ("cell phones") for employee use in the normal course of their duties. Commission-provided cell phones should be used primarily for business purposes. Personal telephone calls are permitted, but should be kept to minimum number and minimum length of time. Employees must fully reimburse the Housing Commission for personal use of Commission-provided cell phone beyond the Commission's contracted scheduled minutes per month.
Use of Cell Phones while Driving
Employees are prohibited from using Commission-issued or personal cell phones while driving agency or personal vehicles on agency business. If an employee needs to use a cell phone while driving on agency business, the employee must pull off the road to a safe location to use the cell phone. If there is a passenger in the vehicle, that person may place or take the call. Inform regular callers of your driving schedule and when you will be available to talk.
Personal Cell Phone Use
Use of an employee's personal cell phone is allowed during working hours but calls must be limited and not interfere with the employee's duties and responsibilities at the Housing Commission. If abuse is identified then the employee is subject to reprimand.
If the Commission requests that an employee use their personal cell phone for Commission business then the Commission will reimburse the employee for actual charges incurred. (Examples would include the need to place a call while working on a vacant unit or inspecting a property, etc.)
Cell Phone Courtesy
Though cellular phone use is allowed, it is important to remember that using cellular phones in a loud or disruptive manner is prohibited on Housing Commission property. When disruptive behavior is identified, a supervisor or the Executive Director will take the appropriate steps to discontinue the disruption.
Courtesy should always prevail. If an employee is in a meeting then courtesy dictate that a cell phone or pager should be placed on mute, whenever possible.
Cell Phone Use as an Internet and E-mail Appliance
Employees issued cell phones with Internet Web browsing and/or e-mail capabilities are subject to the Commission's existing Acceptable Computer Use and Password and User ID Integrity Policies, incorporated herein by reference. Employees subject to these policies shall receive copies of them and execute agreements as indicated.
Cell Phone Use and Possession – Employee Agreement
I acknowledge that I am being provided with the usage of a cell phone, at the expense of the Hillsdale Housing Commission for communication in connection with my job duties. I agree that any charges incurred from usage of the cell phone beyond the Commission's contracted scheduled minutes that are not directly related to Housing Commission business must be reimbursed to the Hillsdale Housing Commission. I agree that I am responsible for loss of the cell phone and equipment and for cell phone and equipment breakage that is not due to normal wear and tear.
I agree to keep the cell phone battery charged and the cell phone turned on and with me at all scheduled times so that I can be reached by Housing Commission staff. I agree to return calls placed to the cell phone in a timely manner.
I further agree to abide by the terms and conditions contained in the Commission's Acceptable Computer Use and Password and User ID Integrity Policies, incorporated herein by reference.

what is the law on police officers entering a home uninvited?
Our local pd has walked into my house uninvited on more than one occasion. The door was unlocked, they knocked and I didnt hear them. One time I walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and there was a detective standing in my bedroom. He was there to ask my son some questions about some shoes that were stolen at school. I cant remember what the other reason was, but I do know that there was no crime in progress. Just questions. That doesnt seem right to me . We live in wisconsin.

Considering you live a neighborhood where you can shower with the door unlocked, I find it hard to believe that an officer would do that to you!!!! It sounds like your son may have let him in, and you did not know it!!! We are allowed to make warrant less entry into homes!
Was this answer helpful to you?
you're right to say that this doesn't seem right. It is illegal but some police will do it anyway. did you ask the detective how he got in? you can try to file a report with their superiors but it will probably just be a waste of time.
Was this answer helpful to you?
Trespassing is a crime. Report them to their supervisor and let him find out what their side of the story is.
Was this answer helpful to you?
i would have immediately called 911 and demanded he be arrested for b&e or burglary. they can't enter your house w/o a warrant. unless a crime is in progress or they can see contraband. they have to have probable cause that a crime is in progress. i would call the police tomorrow and ask to speak to the internal affair and make a complaint. i would call a lawyer have him file harassment against this detective. funny how no cops answer this question. the wall of blue is alive and well. where is the top contributer ??.

They can't enter without a warrant or they see someone in trouble or are pursuing a suspect or you invite them in.

If you agree with me on nine out of 12 issues, vote for me. If you agree with me on 12 out of 12 issues, see a psychiatrist.
So said Ed Koch, former mayor of New York. Obviously a willingness to compromise is essential to get anything done. Former President Ronald Reagan knew this, and thats why he was able to accomplish so much.
I have supported U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., for many years, and yes, there have been times when I disagreed with him. Nonetheless, I firmly believe he has demonstrated strong leadership in many areas, including vital support of our military and firmer action against the unrelenting threat from terrorists.
These radical elements, called Islamists, do not represent the many good people that live in the Islamic countries. During our career in the U.S. Foreign Service, my wife Donna and I had the honor and privilege of serving in several countries where the major religion was Islam.
We got to know many citizens and interacted with them. The majority admired America and were living their lives just as we do and held the same aspirations of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We must continue to support them.
Donna and I attended the recent Republican forum and listened closely to what the various candidates had to say.
They mean well, but it is our opinion that none of them has the experience or skill to effectively replace Graham, who also has seniority in the U.S. Senate. I do not agree with the way the House and Senate rules work, but they are the law of the land and when Graham is re-elected and Republicans win the U.S. Senate, he would likely become the chairman of an important military personnel committee.
Please vote for Graham on June 10.
Dick Smith

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story mischaracterized Obama's statements on Qaddafi. The president has previously commented on the Libyan dictator's death.
President Obama said the death of Muammar el-Qaddafi sends a "strong message" to dictators around the world to respect human rights and their peoples' desire for political reform.
"[Qaddafi] is somebody who, for 40 years, has terrorized his country and supported terrorism," Obama said during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno that aired late Tuesday. "And he had an opportunity during the Arab spring to finally let loose of his grip on power and to peacefully transition into democracy. We gave him ample opportunity, and he wouldn't do it."
Despite months of NATO bombing and the months of fighting in Libya, Qaddafi refused to surrender even after the Libyan rebels took over the capital, Tripoli. "You never like to see anybody come to the kind of end that he did," Obama told Leno, "but I think it obviously sends a strong message around the world to dictators that people long to be free, and they need to respect the human rights and universal aspirations of people."
Obama has also called on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down and quit the bloody crackdown on his people, and has pushed Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh to begin a transition from power under an agreement brokered by Gulf states.
Qaddafi's death is not "something that I think we should relish," Obama said, commenting on televised images of Qaddafi's grisly demise after an attack on his convoy. Obama pointed to the administration's decision not to release the photograph of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden after he was killed by U.S. operatives in May, saying: "I think that there's a certain decorum with which you treat the dead even if it's somebody who has done terrible things."
Obama went on to defend the U.S. role in Libya, saying that the administration did not "lead from behind" by allowing an international coalition to carry out the bulk of the air strikes on Qaddafi's ground targets. "We lead from the front," Obama said, noting that the U.S. introduced the resolution in the United Nations to protect civilians and the U.S. led the initial operation to establish the no-fly zone.
"The difference here is we were able to organize the international community," Obama said. "…So there was never this sense that somehow we were unilaterally making a decision to take out somebody." This is why the operation cost only $1 billion, and not a single troop was killed or injured, he said to applause from the audience. "That, I think, is a recipe for success in the future."
Obama also talked up his recent announcement that the remaining 43,000 troops would leave Iraq by the end of the year, even though the White House had until recently been trying to persuade the Iraqis to allow several thousand American troops to stay past the deadline. The Iraqis "now have the opportunity to create their own democracy, their own country, determine their own destiny," Obama said.
"I'm cautiously optimistic that they realize that the way they should resolve conflict is not through killing each other but, rather, through dialogue and discussion and debate," Obama said. "And so that would not have been possible had it not been for the extraordinary sacrifices not just of our armed forces, but also their families."
Host Jay Leno noted that many GOP members of Congress opposed the announcement that all the troops would be withdrawing from Iraq save a limited presence attached to the U.S. Embassy and its consulates. "It's shocking that they opposed something I proposed," Obama said, to which the audience laughed, whistled, and applauded.
With more than 4,000 Americans killed and tens of thousands injured, and close to $1 trillion spent, Obama said "the vast majority of the American people feel as if it is time to bring this war to a close."
Obama was also asked about speculation that Vice President Joe Biden might swap jobs with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in a second term.
"Joe Biden is not only a great vice president, but he has been a great adviser and a great friend to me. So I think that they are doing great where they are, and both of them are racking up a lot of miles," Obama said. Though Biden tends to go more to Pittsburgh while Clinton heads to Pakistan, Obama said, both have "important work" to do.
When asked whether he'd been watching any of the GOP debates, Obama said: "I'm going to wait until everybody is voted off the island before ... once they narrow it down to one or two, I'll start paying attention."

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas (AP) -- A 45-year-old Central Texas man is going to prison for at least 15 years after receiving his fifth conviction for drunken driving.
A jury in San Marcos has sentenced Luis Torres Govea of San Marcos to life imprisonment. Hays County District Attorney Sherri Tibbe said Thursday that he must serve at least 15 years of that sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
She said the Hays County jury deliberated about two hours before agreeing to prosecutors' recommendation for the life sentence for being a habitual criminal. The trial lasted three days.
Govea was arrested in February after a San Marcos police officer saw him drive away from a bar and commit a series of traffic violations. Govea failed a field sobriety test.

Read Poems by
Haden Chua
Waves of unease flood my heart,
Defying and ignoring my loving touch.
Crippling memories shake me through,
For your angelic image seems so true.
Precious and priceless you are in my eyes,
For I can never bear to see you cry.
Clinging deeply to the love we share,
Treasuring a love that seems so rare.
Severed sinews and battered heart,
Oh, how I long for your tender hug!
Heartening to see you change,
As you walk out of my loving range.
Abandoned was my eventual fate,
For all was deemed too late.
Melancholic and forlorn I became,
Forever forgetting love and pain.

I have a level editor with a test button that I want to change into a toggle button - I want it to turn on when pressed and stay on until pressed again. Currently I have a setup like this
With it coded that way, it stays toggled on when you first press it and while you hold down the mouse button, but as soon as the mouse goes up it toggles off instantly. That led me to think that when you give a Toggle a bool parameter it automatically toggles it when it is pressed, but that makes it function like a normal button and it will only run the 'else if (false)' block.
asked Dec 07, 2012 at 08:24 PM
Just in addition to Eric's answer:
A Toggle just switches between two states. It doesn't have something like "onMouseDown" or "onMouseUp" events. It just turns the variable on when you click it once (and it stays on) and when you click again it turns off again (and stays off)
I have to admit that the example on the Toggle page is terrible.
To detect a state change you just have to store value of your state variable from the last frame and compare it with the current. If it's different a change has occurred.
With a toggle you can simplify it like this:
Now the toggle works just like a normal button. The only difference is that you have an active state which changes it's visual appearence.
answered Dec 07, 2012 at 09:38 PM
I know that it doesn't have mouse events, I described it that way because the way it is behaving the different ways I've tried it don't make sense.
And I don't want the code to run every frame, I placed it inside the if statement around the toggle call because I only want it to run when the state is changed, and all the buttons I've ever made worked that way just fine.
From my understanding the code inside the if block will only run when the GUI control inside the if statement is pressed, and from there it will run the true block or the false block alternatively. Like a light switch that is a push button instead of a lever.
Dec 07, 2012 at 09:49 PM MibZ
There's a huge difference between a Button and a toggle. A Button will execute an event when it's pressed. A Toggle changes a state. I will add another example how to detect a state change. This is actually irrelevant for GUI since it always works the same way.
I'll add another example specific for a GUI.Toggle.
Dec 07, 2012 at 10:09 PM Bunny83
Alright, so what I was trying was wrong. Thanks for your help gentlemen!
Dec 07, 2012 at 10:45 PM MibZ
Please see the example in the docs; you assign the result of GUI.Toggle to a variable.
answered Dec 07, 2012 at 08:58 PM
How would I do that and still be able to place the GUI call in an if statement? Like so?
if (testButtonToggle = GUI.Toggle(testButtonRect, testButtonToggle, "", testToggleStyle))
Well I tried that and it runs the code inside the if block every tick. On top of that it seems wrong to me - to have an assignment in an if statement seems programatically illogical because it isn't a comparison.
After that I tried adding 'testButtonToggle = GUI.Toggle(identical parameters)' at the end of the if block, but it never assigns any value to the bool.
After that I tried adding it after the if block, but then it toggles to true and never toggles back to false even when pressed again.
Finally I tried adding "testButtonToggle = GUI.Toggle(...);" before the original code (if (testButtonToggle = GUI.Toggle(...)); and in that case it toggles to true from the first Toggle, runs the true block inside the if statement every tick, and never toggles back to false even when clicked.
Why so difficult >.>
Dec 07, 2012 at 09:25 PM MibZ
All I want is a button that toggles on/off (I have different textures for each) with an if statement around it to run code only when it is clicked, one block for true, one block for false.
Like my snippet, except...you know. Functional.
Can I do that?
Dec 07, 2012 at 09:27 PM MibZ
Just check to see if the variable changed. You can also potentially use GUI.changed, though that depends on the circumstances.
Dec 07, 2012 at 09:44 PM Eric5h5
I am checking if it changed, the problem is that I apparently don't get how it is supposed to work because none of the ways I have tried behave in ways that make sense.

James Rodriguez has sealed a blockbuster switch from Monaco to Real Madrid on a six-year-deal believed to be worth €80million.
Attacking midfielder Rodriguez becomes Real's second signing of transfer window, further boosting the side's creativity following the capture of Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich.
The arrival of the Colombia international comes on the back of a stunning World Cup campaign in which he led Jose Pekerman's men to the quarter-finals.
Rodriguez scored six goals to win the tournament's Golden Boot award, delivering on the promise that had been apparent ever since his days at Porto.
And the 23-year-old - who will be presented at the Bernabeu on Tuesday - will now look to take his World Cup form into his maiden club campaign with Real, who will hope their transfer business brings further success after winning the UEFA Champions League for a 10th time last season.
The move sees Rodriguez depart Monaco after just one season at the Stade Louis II.
Rodriguez left Porto for Monaco for a fee in the region of €45million in May last year.
He quickly justified that outlay, scoring 10 goals and being named in Ligue 1's team of the season as Monaco finished second behind Paris Saint-Germain.
However, the cash-rich principality club will now have to find a replacement for the playmaker as they seek to bridge the gap to defending champions PSG under new coach Leonardo Jardim.

As BUILD 2011 prepares to roll in to the second day, here's an overview of all the features that we revealed from the first day. Windows 8, as you should know, is a complete overhaul of what Microsoft has done so far. Not since the historic Windows 95 have we seen this much change from one version of Windows to the next. So without further ado, let's take a look at what to expect.
Tag Archives: Windows 8 USB 3.0 support
Microsoft confirms USB 3.0 support in Windows 8
It was quite obvious that Windows 8 would support USB 3.0 and today Steven Sinofsky at Building Windows 8 blog has confirmed that the next generation operating system would support USB 3.0. The blog reads that by 2015 all the new PC would provide USB 3.0 support. Here is what Steven posted on the blog-
With throughput up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 and improved power management that results in longer battery life, USB 3.0 introduces compelling reasons to improve the world's most popular PC interface. By 2015, all new PCs are expected to offer USB 3.0 ports, and over 2 billion new "SuperSpeed" USB devices will be sold in that year alone.
Microsoft also created a "Microsoft USB Test Tool" (MUTT) to simulate device behaviors and test USB 3.0 compatibility. The blog reads- "The MUTT was born – think of it as 1,000 devices on a USB thumb drive"
As USB 3.0 would be 10 times faster than USB 2.0 you'd be able to copy a high definition movie from a USB storage drive in about 80 seconds instead of the 15 minutes it takes with USB 2.0 as the transfer speed would be around 5 Gbps.

It's Nasty Nas season, folks. There's an excitement surrounding his 10th studio album Life Is Good that hasn't been this prevalent since he dropped "Stillmatic" in 2001. Recently he stopped by CNN's Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien where he openly discussed fatherhood and why he made his latest single "Daughters." In the interview he said being in the music business and having the relationship he does with his daughter's mother, Carmen Bryant, he didn't spend the time he needed to with his daughter. "It took me away from being that parent that was there all the time," he said. Despite the self-reflection in thinking he could've done a better job as a father Nas says his daughter thinks he was a great dad. Awwww.
Commentator Roland Martin asks Nas if having a daughter gave him pause about certain images on television or music that refers to women in a derogatory manner. "For a minute when my daughter was born I thought I couldn't write anymore," said the Queensbridge emcee. "Because she's going to hear this stuff from her dad." There was much to say about parenting, but O'Brien asked him the hard question that has been the topic of debate, again, most recently with Gwyneth Paltrow tweeting the n-word (and Nas defending her). When O' Brien asks him, "Why the n-word all the time?" Nas responds by saying it's "street corner language." But with age he says he's growing out of the need to use it in his music.
Life is indeed good for Mr. Jones. With the current cover of Complex magazine, his Summer Jam performance where he brought out the incredible Lauryn Hill, countless interviews and batting three for three with each of his singles, we don't know if there could have been a better title for his upcoming album. The Don is in full effect, and we're ready for him to slay.

'ATWT' Memorable Moments: No. 10 - 1
10. John humiliates Lisa (1996)
Dr. John Dixon decided that revenge was a dish best served cold so he romanced Lisa Grimaldi after she unsuccessfully sued him for malpractice over the death of her late husband Eduardo. (He was actually murdered by Clare Bloom's Orlena.) John proposed marriage to Lisa, but he didn't show up to their engagement party. Instead, he sent a video of him trashing his unsuspecting bride-to-be. A highlight of this story was John's ex-wife Lucinda trapping him in her fur vault, demanding to know what he was up to. Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda) did a dead-on impersonation of Lisa to John, emphasizing that he'd have to listen to Lisa's drivel day in/day out for the rest of his life if he went ahead with the ceremony.
9. Elizabeth Talbot dies by falling "up" the stairs (1973)
Savvy soap opera writers avoided clichés. So when 'ATWT' creator/head writer Irna Phillips decided to bump off Elizabeth she did it in a unique way. Liz saw her toddler daughter Betsy at the top of the stairs (Susan Stewart had neglected to put the safety gate in place). In her haste to keep Betsy safe Liz started up the staircase. She fell and ruptured her spleen. Before she died, Liz was able to tell Dan that he was Betsy's true father. Later, Dan died, too, but afterward his widow Kim raised Betsy.
8. Bob and Kim marry (1985; 2010)
Every soap needs a stable, core family. 'ATWT' provided that with the overdue wedding of Bob Hughes and Kim Andropolous. Bob and Kim were joined by her son Andy, his daughter Frannie and, perhaps most importantly, Bob's parents Nancy and Chris, living in the nearby garage apartment. This re-established the Hughes clan as the first family of Oakdale. Julianne Moore reprised her role as Frannie on the show 25 years later when Bob and Kim remarried after discovering that their first union wasn't legally valid.
7. John Dixon shows up at his own murder trial (1982)
Dr. John Dixon (played by two-time Emmy-winner Larry Bryggman) never failed to look out for himself. When more than a few people wanted to kill John, he decided to fake his own death. After his ex-wife Dee was put on trial for his "murder," John decided it was time to return to Oakdale. Dressed as an old man, John removed his disguise while Dee was testifying. Bryggman had the ability to play John as a bad guy who always seemed justified in whatever he was doing. The actor's return to 'ATWT' in its final weeks was a treat for the show's longtime fans.
6. "Hello, Barbara" (1986)
On a dark and stormy night at Duncan's castle all hell had broken loose. Barbara had been drugged and nearly raped by evil Hensley Taggart. A pregnant Margo showed up to try to save her on-again/off-again rival, but fell victim to Taggart herself. Suddenly, a mysterious figure stepped out of the shadows to deal with Taggart. He removed his hood and said, "Hello, Barbara." It was Bab's presumed dead ex-husband James Stenbeck, who had returned to wreck havoc on everyone's lives once more. James came back from that great soap in the sky many times, but this first reappearance was the most chilling.
5. Bob tells Kim he slept with Susan (1990)
There really weren't any bad guys in this love triangle. (Well, except for maybe Bob.) The good doctor had felt neglected while wife Kim devoted herself to saving her son Andy, who'd become an alcoholic. Bob turned to a needy Susan and the two made love. Kim justifiably ripped into her husband after he confessed all. Susan tried to make amends, but Kim, who'd already been in a love triangle with Susan and the late Dan Stewart, told her to get lost -- or else she'd "flatten" her!
4. Iva Snyder tells Lily she's her daughter (1987)
The Snyders, based on head writer Douglas Marland's own family, brought a lot of heart (and secrets) to Oakdale. Iva had been raped by her non-biological cousin Josh, who later came to town. When Iva spied a distraught Lily in Josh's arms, she feared that Josh was going to attack her, too. "She's your daughter!" a pitchfork-wielding Iva yelled at Josh, hoping this revelation would get him to release Lily. It was a secret that Iva had hoped would never come out and, in a moment of panic, she was the one who ironically brought it all out into the open.
3. Nancy Hughes McCluskey dies (2010)
'ATWT' likely would have closed the final broadcast with Helen Wagner (Nancy) speaking the words, "Good morning dear," since those were the ones that she used to open the premiere episode on Apr. 1, 1956. Alas, Wagner, 91, died earlier this year before the show's finale was taped. The recent Aug. 31 episode of 'ATWT' was a tribute to her, and featured classic Nancy clips from over the decades. This episode, like the finale, falls into the "save until I delete" category on everyone's DVR or TiVo.
2. Barbara emerges as the town bitch (1985-6)
Late head writer Douglas Marland gave one of the best makeovers in soaps ever to Barbara Ryan (the fabulous Colleen Zenk), who'd been unlucky in love many times over. Marland had Barbara take control of her life, form her own fashion business ("Simply Barbara") and let ex-fiancé Tom think that they'd slept together. Some saw through Barbara from the beginning. (John Dixon called her "Simply Barracuda.") Margo, Tom's wife, and Babs had classic soap opera smackdowns that were superbly written and brilliantly acted.
1. Kim Hughes confesses to killing Douglas Cummings (1986)
Kim mistakenly thought fragile Frannie had killed sociopath Doug Cummings after finding Doug (with a crystal cylinder sticking out of his bloodied back) on top of Frannie. Ambitious district attorney Avril Hobson tried Kim for second degree murder after she falsely confessed. Frannie recalled it was unstable Marsha Talbot who killed Doug just as Kim was testifying. This story was arguably 'ATWT's best. It was a head-scratching whodunit wrapped in a psychological drama. At the heart, was a woman (Kim) willing to go to jail to save the sanity of the niece (Frannie) whom she'd grown to love like her own child.
Sound off: What were your favorite moments from the decades-long run of 'As the World Turns'?

Gear Review
Comfortable, cheap and good looking
I just got this two days ago and got to put it to use today. This helmet is great. It's super comfortable, breathable and lightweight. I got compliments on the styling, too (I got the white one). The sizing is pretty spot on - I got a medium and I wear a medium for my BMX helmet and snowboard helmet. The d ring is slightly annoying, but I'm able to loosen it without completely undoing it to get the lid off and on. I definitely recommend this helmet.

Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium
Monaco's Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium was opened by Prince Albert I in 1910 and houses his personal collection of marine life, models of the Prince's laboratory ships and other crafts made from marine products. The imposing building is perched dramatically on a cliff and faces the sea, providing lovely views. The basement houses an impressive aquarium with over 4,000 fish species and 200 invertebrates, as well as the Shark Lagoon.
