GOP Finance member: 'It's insane not to use the Rainy Day Fund'
Count Sen. Kevin Eltife as one Republican member of the Senate Finance Committee who thinks it's crazy to solve the state's huge budget shortfall with nothing but cuts to programs and services. "We have to find more revenue," the former Tyler mayor and senator of seven years said this morning during a committee hearing. "It's […] [Read More]

In 2011, when Scarlett Johansson's nude photos were stolen by an email hacker and posted online, celeb blogger Perez Hilton's site quickly and gleefully posted them, with the headline "Scarlett Johansson Nude Photo LEAK!" and a comment about "expecting her to be a little smarter than this." It only took them down after threats from Johansson's legal team. "Photos removed by request," reads the post now; underneath it are many comments, mostly about Johansson's body, with just one decrying the fact that Hilton would post the stolen images. Three years later, when Jennifer Lawrence's nude photos were similarly stolen and posted online, Hilton again published the "leak." But then he thought better of it and censored the photos' naughty bits. Then he decided to take the post down all together. And he apologized.
"I took them down because of you. A lot of you let me know that my actions were wrong. I didn't even stop to think about my actions. I work in celebrity news and work as quickly as possible," said Hilton in a YouTube video. "People are calling me a rapist and a sex offender. I may not agree with that but I need to take a moment and let that sink in…. Going forward, I will not post intimate photos. I think it's the right thing to do to not perpetuate that."
Yes, Hilton, who took his pseudonym from a woman who became famous for a leaked sex tape — "A Night in Paris" — is no longer down with publicizing intimate material.
Put together a list of tips for celebs after latest leaks: 1. Don't take nude selfies 2. Don't take nude selfies 3. Don't take nude selfies
— Nick Bilton (@nickbilton) September 1, 2014
Hilton's evolution reflects a larger societal one, a change in our attitude toward nude photos and their getting hacked. In 2011, after the Johansson/Christina Aguilera/Vanessa Hudgens hack, this headline was typical: "When will celebrities learn?" The advice, " Just don't take scandalous selfies," was applauded in that deafening way that any obvious edict that everyone agrees with is. Now the same advice will get you severely hate-tweeted. Around the same time I implored people to stop preaching sext abstinence, New York Times technology columnist Nick Bilton tweeted "three" tips for celebs, which consisted of one tip: "Don't take nude selfies." Instead of garnering him the hundreds of retweets he likely expected from his 230,000 followers, he was bombarded with angry responses, accusing him of being callous, blaming the victims, and censoring people's behavior.
@nickbilton Tip for being a human being:
1. Don't victim-blame female victims of sex crimes
— Ronen V (@RonenV) September 1, 2014
@nickbilton Would you tweet – Tips for kidnapped reporters: Don't go to dangerous countries. No, because that's a dick move.
— pourmecoffee (@pourmecoffee) September 1, 2014
@nickbilton @JamBerube oh and women shouldn't dress so provocatively or be out alone at night! That's another good one
— Tyler McCall (@eiffeltyler) September 1, 2014
@nickbilton did your account get hacked too? Otherwise this seems like a real dick move.
— Matt Haughey (@mathowie) September 1, 2014
He apologized in a follow up tweet, "My earlier tweet wasn't meant as victim blame in any way, but a larger point about state of the Web and insecurity. (I'm sorry.)" Meanwhile, a suggestion from Bilton's colleague at the NYT, Farhad Manjoo, that we treat nude photo hack victims more like financial ones got nearly 7,000 retweets.
I've never heard anyone respond to financial hacking by saying, Just don't use online banking. That's what you get for using credit cards.
— Farhad Manjoo (@fmanjoo) September 1, 2014
Anecdotally, it seems that fewer media outlets are doing what used to be typical: posting barely-redacted copies of the naked photos while claiming to be horrified. The photos were not linked as frequently in stories, leading one friend of mine to complain that he couldn't find them. (Sigh.) The nature of the advice that followed changed. People were less likely to shame the celebrities and more likely to shame their tech provider — Apple Apple in this case — for letting them down. "Blame Apple," wrote David Auerbach at Slate. Numerous writers, including one for Playboy [SFW], said they were refraining from looking at the photos — despite a great desire to see them — and encouraged others to do the same. What happened to sexual schadenfreude?
It's hard to measure societal norms, but my impression based on what I've seen in the media and on various social media platforms is that we're far more sympathetic to the nude photo victims of 2014 than those of 2011. I have some theories as to why this shift — if my perception is accurate — has happened, which I ran by thinkers I respect. Some agreed. Some disagreed. But here's why we're (maybe) less nasty than we used to be.
First, I think it reflects the fact that more people sext now, so they have greater empathy as well as the fear of something similar happening to them. Rather than scaring people away from taking nude photos, every celebrity exposure seems to be an endorsement for the practice.
Calling leaked celebrity nude pics a sex crime is another way of saying "I lack the ability to think about things on a sophisticated level."
— Susannah Breslin (@susannahbreslin) September 3, 2014
"There's a kind of there-but-for-the-grace-of-God-go-I element to stolen nude photos that didn't exist previously," says Susannah Breslin, a fantastic writer who has reported extensively on the porn industry. She chastised those who said looking at the photos is tantamount to rape. "The birth of this sort of thing is really the Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee sex tape. But at that time, it felt like something that happened to someone else — celebrities. Now everyone's a porn star, and that includes those who take nude selfies."
Another factor may be the many activists in the "end revenge porn" space, who have helped to stigmatize non-consensual pornography and tried to get people to understand how traumatic it can be for victims. Daniel Solove, a law professor who has been writing about privacy for over a decade, says that he's seen a shift in opinion. "Back when I wrote The Future of Reputation (2007), the term 'revenge porn' hadn't yet been invented," he writes by email. He continues:
The general attitude on the Internet was more of laissez faire when it came to the distributors of the information. There was a near reverence for CDA 230 and the uninhibited freedom of the Internet to redistribute anything that others had posted. There was a sense that it was all the fault of the victim for creating the photos or posing for the photos in the first place. When victims of privacy violations tried to fight back, they were laughed at with people blaming them even more by saying that they were further publicizing the violation (what is called –and inaptly-named — the Streisand effect). I thought that these views were quite wrong, and I'm glad to see that the reaction to this latest incident is that people are starting to think differently.
The hacking of the photos is a digital sex crime. Disseminating the photos is akin to reveling in that crime. Claiming that one is just pointing to the photos that someone else hacked furthers the harm to a victim of a crime. More and more people are realizing that this is unethical. It is not newsworthy. It is not blameless behavior to link or repost. I even think that many are recognizing an ethical violation in even looking at the photos.
@neilmrichards and I wrote a piece on whether Perez Hilton should be liable for posting J. nude images w/o consent http://t.co/cilCLjgPvV
— Danielle Citron (@daniellecitron) September 3, 2014
But academic Danielle Citron disagreed with me on this, saying sympathy is still lacking for the hoi polloi but is heightened here because we all loved Jennifer Lawrence so much in the Hunger Games and feel like Katniss is our bestie. "We tend to idealize stars and have the sense that we know them and are friends with them," said Citron, a law professor at University of Maryland and author of Hate Crimes in Cyberspace. "They are not strangers; we care about them. So our sympathy is triggered. But for ordinary people we see them as images, as things; our reactions are far less caring."
Thirdly, as to the media choosing not to post photos, it may have to do with their ethical evolution ala Hilton, or a fuller understanding of the legal implications around nude photo theft. Scarlett Johansson's hacker, Chris Chaney, got a ten-year prison sentence, and her legal team threatened to rain litigation hell down on the media who reposted her photos. Her efforts may have helped protect future hacked celebs. "A lot of people (me included) posted w/ impunity then and before," tweeted Sam Biddle, editor of Gawker-owned Valleywag, who was speaking for himself and not for his employer. "But then we saw her hacker get 10 years in prison." (However, it hasn't stopped Gawker-owned Deadspin, which posted and linked to numerous photos stolen from model Kate Upton's boyfriend, Justin Verlander, a MLB pitcher.)
@kashhill right. a lot of people (me included) posted w/ impunity then, and before, but then we saw her hacker get 10 years in prison.
— Sam Faulkner Biddle (@samfbiddle) September 2, 2014
Solove says courts are less sympathetic on the question of freedom of the press when it comes to nude photos. Courts "are less likely to find newsworthiness" in them, he says by email. "Additionally, there's copyright law that protects the 'selfies,' so media lawyers know that this can be an area where media could be held liable, and for quite a lot," he writes.
When Playgirl published paparazzi nudes of Brad Pitt that violated his privacy, a judge recalled the magazine. http://t.co/gxNTJYtTOF
— Jillian C. York (@jilliancyork) September 3, 2014
Jillian York, director of free expression at civil liberties organization EFF, said she saw a shift in media coverage but doesn't think it applies to society at large. "I've been following comments on Facebook etc pretty closely and I think that your analysis of the shift applies to the media (which is great) and elites, but not to the average Joe (or, in some cases, the average Josephine)," wrote York in an email. "Ultimately though, I think that this is a good thing – if the media shames people enough for this behavior, it could have a strong effect not only on the prosecution of people who steal images but also on the opinions of the public at large."
fuck off RT @nickbilton: Put together a list of tips for celebs after latest leaks: 1. Don't take nude selfies
— nathanjurgenson (@nathanjurgenson) September 2, 2014
Nathan Jurgenson, a digital sociologist, agreed with York that the shift was limited to the media. "Overall, [Nick Bilton's tweet] represents the majority -vast majority- opinion," writes Jurgenson by email. "This only comes from looking at search terms and replies to celebs tweets, but from what I can tell 'don't take nudes' has been the overwhelming response."
Jurgenson did agree that the media reaction has changed dramatically. "The critique of victim blaming has gone more mainstream, and I'm excited for that," he writes. "For many more people sexuality comes standard with sexting, so advising people not to sext is like advising people not to be sexual. Stories about sexting are increasingly written by, and for, people who participate. I really do think we're finally reaching the point where being constantly outraged and scandalized by sexting is coming to be seen, and felt, as counterproductive. If we maintain that having a nude out there will ruin your life, then it will ruin lives, those of our friends, children, people we'd like to be president, etc. By chilling out and instead focusing on the fuckers who violate women for sport, we're making our lives collectively easier, better, more fair. Here's hoping this shift in media message spreads more widely."

It doesn't take the federal government to convince people in the Lowcountry to protect loggerhead turtles. A small army of volunteers for decades has spent summers searching local beaches for loggerhead nests and protecting them from natural predators like raccoons.
Beachfront construction in some communities must not have bright outside lighting that discourages turtles from coming ashore to bury their eggs. And should turtles be harmed, the S.C. Aquarium nurses them back to health.
Still, it is good news that the federal government is stepping up to the challenge of protecting critical loggerhead nesting habitats. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing restrictions on 739 miles of coast from Mississippi to North Carolina.
Any new beachside construction requiring federal permits would need to be reviewed to ensure nesting areas will not be harmed.
The government is also expected to propose in-water critical habitat areas later this year. Conservationists want wave-energy, offshore drilling and aquaculture projects to be analyzed by the government to ensure they won't interfere with turtles' migration.
Loggerhead sea turtles face serious threats to their long-term survival from drowning in fishing nets, loss of nesting beaches due to coastal development and sea-level rise.
"The Southeast's nesting loggerheads swim thousands of miles through an obstacle course of human-made hazards," said Jaclyn Lopez, a Florida attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity. "Protected beach habitat will help ensure that when they reach our beaches, exhausted and ready to nest, they're met with true southern hospitality: plenty of food, good conditions for nesting, and safe beaches for hatchlings to leave their nests so they may someday return to continue the cycle of life."
That's a government rule even small-government advocates can like.

UT hosting digital media conference for startups May 10Written by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
On May 10, the University of Toledo will host a first-time venture, the uHeart Digital Media Conference, which will focus on using social media to create digital brands for young entrepreneurs and startup businesses.
The uHeart Digital Media Conference will feature emerging leaders, accomplished practitioners, innovators and experts in digital media, according to organizers.
The event is open to students, local entrepreneurs and startups who want to learn how to develop and launch applications that appeal to niche markets for their brands and products.
"We have put together a lineup of speakers that would rival any digital media conference. This will prove to be a major event for leaders in digital media and entrepreneurs across the region," said Lawrence Burns, vice president for external affairs at UT, in a news release.
Dave Hunke, former president and publisher of USA Today and now chief strategy officer at Digerati, is slated to present the keynote address. His presentation will focus on how he and his team at USA Today helped transform the brand of one of the nation's most popular newspapers from a print publication to a digital giant.
Ben Bator of the website Texts from Last Night is also scheduled to speak at the conference, along with Matt Burns of TechCrunch, Mike Brott of The Brandery, Anthony Broad Crawford of GiveForward, Jim Connolly of McGraw-Hill and Fulter Hong of Google.
Local speakers include Dustin Hostetler of Digital Graphics, Joe Sharp of Thread Marketing Group, Will Lucas, creator of Classana, and Hayley Call, social media specialist for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
The conference will conclude with the uHeart Pitch & Pour after-party for conference attendees in the Nitschke Technology Commercialization Complex at UT. New incubator facilities are being developed at that complex, according to organizers of that event.
Participating startups will present their ideas to judges for the chance to win funding and other prizes.
"The Pitch & Pour event will highlight support systems available to entrepreneurs through UT's Edison Technology Incubation Program. It's a great opportunity to illustrate Toledo's resources for tech startups," said Scott McIntyre, manager of business incubation at UT and one of the organizers of the event.
"Toledo's assets are under-recognized. We have judges from across the nation and applicants from three states coming to Toledo for this," he said.
McIntyre was named manager of business incubation for UT in early April. He will administer the incubation program in partnership with UT and the State of Ohio's Edison Technology Program. An Edison grant was obtained for developing startups and creating job growth in Northwest Ohio through the program at UT.
McIntyre reported that they currently have 19 clients located in UT incubator facilities and the conference is another step toward getting new clients and helping move Toledo forward. He negotiated an agreement with UT Innovation Enterprises for CrowdSchools.org, his education startup, to serve as a pilot in UT's Ambassador Internship program. UT was asked to join because of its progressive stance on student entrepreneurship development, McIntyre said.
Mary Jo Waldock, senior executive director of the Office of Research and Innovation at UT, said CrowdSchools.org is "relevant for entrepreneurially-minded students who will benefit greatly by learning the ropes before entering the market."
McIntyre, who came to UT with 20 years of entrepreneurial and business consulting experience, is considered a leader in the rapidly growing crowd-funding industry.
Crowd-funding involves garnering small amounts of capital from a large number of investors to finance a business venture.
Crowd-funding has the potential to increase entrepreneurship by expanding the pool of investors from whom funds can be raised beyond the traditional circle of owners, relatives and venture capitalists. It uses the easy accessibility of vast networks of family, friends and colleagues through social media websites to get the word out about new business ventures and attract investors.
Ideas for tech products and service startups were solicited and submissions were reviewed April 26. Event organizers said they are accepting submissions on an ongoing basis at www.pitchandpour.com.
Organizers said the Pitch & Pour event is the first of a series planned at UT. To register for the May 10 event, visit www.uHeartDigitalMedia.com.
Organizers expect to draw from 100-150 tech-related entrepreneurs and startup businesspeople from Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.
The event will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 10 in the Ingman Room of UT's Student Union. Registration is $20 for students and $50 for nonstudents.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Adding a die cut or emboss to your print job can make a striking visual impact; it's a way of sculpturing and increasing a reader's engagement with your work. Learn about the various types of embossing and die cutting as well as the proper ways to set up your documents to achieve consistent results. Author Claudia McCue covers manufacturing concerns like cost, time, choosing the appropriate paper stock, and file formatting; preparing your artwork for embossing and stamping; and then designing your die-cut project in Adobe Illustrator or InDesign.
I'm almost finished with the design of this card. But before I send it to the printer I need to do two things. I need to create artwork for the die line that's going to be used to cut this out. And then I'm going to need to add bleed. So first, I'm going to create the die line. You can see how the layers are created. All the artwork's getting almost ready for print. And the pieces that I need to create the die line are actually already in the artwork. It's going to cut out like this, it's going to go around the rectangle and then the little yellow petals are going to pop out.
First thing I'm going to do is create a die line layer. Which of course I'm going to call, die line. And then I'm going to duplicate the rectangle and the little yellow petal shape into that layer and use them as the basis for the die line. So, I select the little rectangle. And I don't want to move it. I want to keep that original, of course. So I hold down Option or Alt, and drag up. And that duplicates that shape. Same thing with the little yellow petals. Option or Alt, drag it up. And you can see that the original shapes are still in position. But now I have the duplicate of them in my die line layer. I'm going to turn off all the other layers so I can just concentrate on this one. Now, because it's going to be a die line, I don't need the shadow. So I'm going to get rid of that, by going to the Appearance panel, and just selecting Drop Shadow.
And hitting the little trash can. What I really need is the perimeter of this shape. That's what's going to constitute the die line. I can combine these two shapes two different ways. I can use Pathfinder, or I can use Shape Builder. The results are the same. It's really just which method you prefer to use. So first, I'll show you Pathfinder, under Window of course. I just select both shapes, and use the Unite option on that first row. Now it's just one shape. I'm going to undo so that I could show you the Shape Builder, which is a really fun tool.
Select both of the shapes again, get my Shape Builder and then you just drag from one shape into the other. In this case it won't matter which one you use as the first shape. There we go, again two different methods, but the same results. But what I need now is a die line color. I need a special color that indicates to the printer this artwork is used for the die line. So in the Swatches panel, I'm going to make a new swatch. Now, the look of this really doesn't matter. It does need to be a spot color and, of course, I think it makes sense to call it die line. And it really wouldn't matter whether I chose RGB or CMYK. This document, of course, is CMYK color mode.
But I tend to use RGB. This is, again, just personal preference, because I like to make a bright green color that's really obvious. And it's clear that it's not part of the art work. But again, the color you choose, I think, should be a contrast to your underlying artwork. And it should be something obvious. Just make sure that it's spot color and make sure that you name it something fairly obvious. I don't need a fill, so I'm going to change the Fill to None, and I'm going to change my Stroke, of course, to my new die line color. Now, back in the layers panel, I turn everything else back on, and there we go.
Now at this point, I don't have bleed. That's something I'm going to show you in another movie. But at least I have my artwork. And I have my die line created. One more thing I'd recommend that you do. Even though the artwork for the die line is going to be output separately. It's not going to be part of the printed piece. Just to be sure, here's a good practice. Go up to Window and Attributes. And now that's one of those panels you don't go to all the time, but one thing you can do here is really valuable. You can set that stroke to overprint and what this means is that if they output this, we know that it doesn't knock out anything that's underneath. It's just a little nicety, it's just good habit and one way to check what you have is to go to Window, go to Separations Preview.
You have to turn on over print preview to activate separations preview. And you make sure that you have any spot colors that you need. Make sure you don't have any that you don't need. And if I turn off CMYK that leaves just my die line. I'll turn off my die line, there's my CMYK. So even though I don't have bleed yet, which means that this is not ready to send to the printer, I've got a really good start so that I can finish up this card and send it off for printing and then ultimately die cutting.

Addressing the removal of the Loan Description & Loan Details Fields
Some of our lenders have expressed concern with the recent removal of the loan description and loan title fields on the Prosper borrower application. I want you all to know that we hear your concerns. This is something that we are currently testing. We have not made the decision to permanently remove these fields at this time.
I would like to take a moment to explain why we removed the fields and why we believe it will have a strong positive impact for our lenders long term.
- Created Confusion – In recent user testing, we found that borrowers were significantly less likely to complete a Prosper loan application when they were asked to provide a Loan Description or Loan Title. Borrowers found this question to be intrusive and, in many cases, confusing to their private loan application process. These fields proved to be the biggest drop off point for potential borrowers. We removed them to gauge response for a period of time.
- Supply and demand – We strive to have an onboarding process that is simple and easy and makes sense to users. The more simple a process can be made, the more potential borrowers we can reach. In order for Prosper to better streamline the borrower application and meet the demand that you all have expressed for new loans, we will consistently make changes to our platform that we believe will positively impact the way users interact with our product and ultimately, the way the platform performs.
Ultimately, we understand your concerns, and we are exploring the best way to meet both the lenders' concerns and improve the borrowers' experience at equal measure, including adding the field back in the near future. Standby for updates on this potential change and more as we begin to interpret its impact on our platform.

Remember when you're down, theres no way but to go up. Get help. Hope you do okay.
A shrink can't stop that for you and talking won't change you. That is a deep seated problem you have. Best solution you are going to find is "redirection". Redirect your need to harm by replacing it with another action. Sounds easy, huh, not. Its hard to acomplsh, but if you focus all you can on redirection, you might have a fighting chance. From experience comes opinions. I don't want to say how I harmed myself.
Sorry that's too private, but it works.
See a shrink as soon as your able :)
dont do what i did and turn to drugs, you will be more miserable than you are now. believe it or not.. talk to someone.. some people even use sex as an escape, but later down the road you will regret that all too when youre older.. talk to someone.
Well, then sorry your in for a life full of hurt
Hey there. Even talking here is healthy, after you weed out the rude responses. EP helps, you'll run into someone you can confide in more.
I am aware of that, but without it your screwed, while you may not get support of your family, you will from a Doctor, right now you got nothing anyway

Lambert always emphasizes that there's no one bike set-up that will work for all women. "I have struggled so much with that lately, because when you say 'women's-specific components' or 'women's-specific geometry,' to me, to customers, it means that there's one geometry or one group of components that works for women. And I don't think that's true."
One company's evolution in designing women's products
When Specialized designed its first women's products, engineers started from men's models and translated those designs to accommodate what they imagined women needed. The result? Bikes like the first Specialized Allez Dolce, which while offering smaller sizes for women still had notably less in the way of performance advantages.
Today, Specialized develops its products by using a two-step approach. First, the designers look at data drawn from a U.S. military study. That data, known by the acronym ANSUR, derives from a large-scale effort by the military to measure as many people as possible. For product design, the database offers a look at the general distribution of sizes across the population. "If we're going to design a new glove pattern, for sure we're going to look at general variations," says Lambert. The next step involves extensive product testing on the roads and trails by riders. "The numbers only take you so far," she says, "and sometimes it can lead you down a path that seems right scientifically or very right from logic, but when it's put into application, riders are telling you 'I don't want that.'" The test process allows the engineers to alter the products to reflect actual riding styles and riders' preferences that the size data might not tell them.
Using field data
Lambert explains that Specialized relies on a third element to fine-tune its women's products. The company has its own database of Body Geometry Fit information from dealers who sell women's bikes. The database details the fit information for thousands of women cyclists. That helps answer questions such as, how do women actually set up their bikes? What saddle height or handlebar widths are they choosing?
Specialized markets its Dolce Sport to women looking to do their first group ride or triathlon.
Lambert offers an example of how this works. She recently wanted to see whether Specialized was specifying the right handlebar width for a particular size road bike. "I like to open those questions up and say, 'Hey, are we doing the right thing here? Is a 38cm bar correct?'" She checked the fit information and found that dealers were changing the 38cm bars to 36cm when women were buying bikes. "Nine times out of 10, you're fitting 36cm bars, so I should probably be changing my spec based on that," she says.

Councilman Terrell Fulford, who is the chairman of the Finance Committee, started the March 17 meeting with a report of the city accounts. He said Gray's General Fund remains strong, and 93 percent of 2013 property taxes have been collected.
He said $58,500 remains to be collected and announced the receipt of a check in the amount of $156,000 from Georgia Power in franchise fees.
City Superintendent Russ Dorman said he met with Robert Smith of the Middle Georgia Regional Commission and Phil Read of the Georgia Rural Community Assistance Project, both of whom are helping with a survey of the city's sewer customers.
The survey is necessary for the city to be eligible for a combination of grants and loans from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Dorman said he received a packet of information from them, which included a letter to the customers who will receive the surveys, a copy of the survey, and a copy of a notice that will be placed in the newspaper.

CRESTVIEW — A divided city council on Monday didn't take action on an agenda item that would have made a resolution opposing Amendment 4, an item on next month's statewide ballot. The Florida League of Cities had requested that local governments pass resolutions opposing the amendment.
Because the amendment would prevent local municipalities from raising the assessed value on residents' property to maintain a steady tax income, even if the property value has declined since the previous year, real estate agents support the initiative.
Present at the meeting was Cliff Long, an executive with the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors, who was prepared to speak against the resolution if it came to a vote. Long said other business groups also support the amendment, which would increase the homestead exemption for first-time homebuyers and reduce assessment limits.
"… We have the local chambers (of commerce) with us, the Florida chamber as well," Long said. "This whole resolution, the League of Cities is trying to push all the cities to support it."
City Clerk Betsy Roy, recommending the city council pass the resolution, cited "potential loss of property tax income if the amendment passes." However, the council — led by Councilwoman Robyn Helt, a real estate agent — was divided on the issue.
"I do not see the need for the city to pass a resolution," Helt said. "I would not be in favor of supporting a resolution but I am personally in favor of Amendment 4."
Stating that she could see "the League of Cities' position concerning the amount of taxes that could be recouped," Helt said her responsibility was to Crestview's property tax paying residents.
"There is a provision of the existing law that concerns me greatly — that there would be increased taxation if a property owner's property value declines, their assessed value can continue to go up, and I think that is highly unfair," Helt said.
Councilman Tom Gordon said he could appreciate both sides of the issue, but personally, "I am not in favor of Amendment 4."
In addition, Helt said passing the amendment also could positively affect companies' relocation decisions. "Passing amendment 4 would potentially attract new companies and create jobs and additional revenue for our state and boost our economy," she said.
Councilman Charles Baugh Jr., a member of the Florida League of Cities board of directors, said, "It is important that the Florida League of Cities take a position on this matter."
However, Baugh said he would prefer voters inform themselves of the amendment's provisions as well as other initiatives on the ballot, before voting.
"I would just ask the citizens inform themselves of this matter," he said.
Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated Councilwoman Robyn Helt was opposed to Amendment 4 and felt its passage would be detrimental to attracting new business to the state. The News Bulletin apologizes for the error.

The Maid
Reviewer: Jeffrey M. Anderson
Rating (out of 5): ****
The maid, Raquel (Catalina Saavedra), has a rather severe face. Her permanent frown has forced her jaw to jut out into something like a snout, and her dark eyes are nearly crazy from routine and exhaustion. It's a face that would make you want to turn away if you ran into it in a dark alley, but watching it onscreen is a different matter. Especially since director Sebastián Silva is smart enough to show her in various states of mind; she's not evil or crazy. She's partly uncertain, party insecure. There's something human inside this creature with the defiant stare.
The excellent, darkly funny Chilean film The Maid opens, vérité style, with Raquel sullenly eating her dinner, apart from the family she works for. But it's her birthday, and the family summons her in the dining room for presents and cake. They include the wife Pilar (Claudia Celedón), teenage daughter Camila (Andrea García-Huidobro), teenage son Lucas (Agustín Silva), two younger kids, and the professorial father Mundo (Alejandro Goic), who spends hours and hours building model ships. Raquel shyly and reluctantly accepts some gifts, and returns to the kitchen.
During the scene, it is revealed that Lucas is her "favorite." We also learn that Raquel has been with this family for decades and helped raise all the kids. Whenever the subject of dismissing her comes up, Pilar merely answers, "I can't." Raquel herself isn't quite clear on just how much she belongs to this family; she sometimes feels as if the kids are partly hers, but at other times, she's a total outsider. These feelings are intensified -- assisted by Saavedra's uncanny, facially expressive performance -- when Raquel begins having dizzy spells, and help must be hired. Will Raquel lose her family to the new person? First up is the shy, young Mercedes (Mercedes Villanueva); Raquel quickly makes her feel unwelcome, locking her out of the house, for example. (There's also an incident with a kitten that's best left unmentioned.)
Ultimately Raquel's loyalty to the family and their love for her is tested in new ways, however, and even as things smooth out, we're still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Director Silva shoots on what seems rather like uncomely hand-held video, but he always manages to slip in his camera exactly where it's needed, catching clandestine moments even when other characters miss them. He also does a fine job of building expectations and then turning them sideways. There's a fair amount of genre subversion at work here, given the number of movies out there about psychotic maids and the clash between upstairs and downstairs, including Sister, My Sister (1994) and Murderous Maids (2000). The Maid does a wonderful job of blurring the line and expectations, opening up new possibilities for relationships between masters and servants.
Oscilloscope has released the new DVD, including a behind-the-scenes featurette, storyboards and a photo gallery.

Fall Field Day proved to be an exciting way for both younger and older members of the community to enjoy and learn about agriculture while they participated in a full day Saturday at the Ashe County Ag Expo site on N.C. 163.
"This event was a nice way to get the community involved in agriculture and show kids how fun it can be," said Micah Orfield, agricultural agent for livestock at cooperative extension, who oversaw the event.
After registering for events, children in attendance competed with each other in a variety of games, including a tug of war, a pie eating contest, sack races and hay bale stacking contests.
Another event (slightly less organized) was a "calf scramble," where nearly 20 children chased after two calves, trying to grasp ribbons that had been tied to the calves' tails.
Fall Field Day wasn't all fun and games though; it was also a chance for the participants to learn more about agriculture and livestock. The kids watched demonstrations showing how to milk a cow and rope a steer.
According to Orfield, one of her goals for the event was to teach children more about agriculture. "I would like to pull kids back into liking agriculture," said Orfield.
One educational aim was to teach children how to responsibly tend to livestock by holding a "chicken show."
In late August through early September, children involved in the 4-H Ag Club received six newborn chickens to raise until Fall Field Day. Food, water and shelter were provided by the 4-H Ag Club; the children only needed to feed and watch over the chicks.
When Fall Field Day arrived, the children returned the now grown chickens to the 4-H Ag Club. All of the chickens were weighed, and the child that raised the heaviest chicken was declared the winner of the chicken show.
Orfield said this event was a good way to teach the children about responsibility and garner more appreciation for the work farmers do every day.
"Too many people don't appreciate how important agriculture is, but agriculture plays a part in nearly everything from the clothes you wear to the food you eat," said Orfield.
According to Orfield, this was the third year of the event. However, Fall Field Day was cancelled last year because of snow. Orfield said "we are definitely planning on throwing this event again next year."
Fall Field Day was sponsored by Ashe County's Cooperative Extension Service and the Upper Mountain Research Station.

Rollins Cafeteria shuts its doors
Through social media Sunday afternoon the owner of Rollins Cafeteria in Forest City announced his restaurant is closing.
Wayne Rollins told his Facebook friends to "please bare with me" but the doors on Rollins Cafeteria were closing. The restaurant has been in existence over nine years.
He thanked the staff and his mother for their hard work.
"That was probably the hardest thing I've ever done in my life — telling them yesterday," Rollins said.
"I don't know what we'll do. . .my goal is to stay here. I was raised here. My family is here."
He said he has three or four weddings/parties already on the books and they will be taken care of.
"I'd like to say I'll do the catering. It was the most consistent of all, but right now, I just can't say that," Rollins continued.
He will have to find a facility for catering and will utilize kitchens of friends to do the scheduled catering jobs, but after that he is not sure."I don't know exactly what to do. The economy is so bad. It's hard to say," he said Monday afternoon.
With all the "big overhead that comes along with the restaurant, I just couldn't continue to keep the business profitable. Rent, power bill, gas bill, insurances, taxes all of the above," Rollins said on his Facebook page.
His announcement brought about 200 posts from friends and those who frequented the business.
Rollins was a loyal supporter of the Rutherford County Chapter of the American Cancer Society and for many years hosted the Relay for Life Wrap-Up breakfast at the restaurant.
"We've been so thankful for the support of Wayne and his mom, Susie (Byers)," said ACS Senior Community Manager Debbie Buchanan. Byers is a cancer survivor.
"The Relay team, his sponsorship, the wrap-up and the team captains' meetings were held there. We are going to miss him. Not just the Cancer Society but the whole community. He is a genuine good person. Such a good person."
She said she had a lengthy conversation with Rollins recently and he said the cafeteria wasn't doing well.
Rollins has supported many civic organizations, sports teams and others throughout the years because of his concern for community.
Some friends of Rollins Cafeteria posted on the Facebook page that they were sorry; one person has an event planned there the end of August; one person posted, "another one bites the dust, hate that."
In the recent past, Tuscany Italian Grille in Spindale closed its doors and Ol' Blues House of BBQ in Forest City also closed its restaurant recently on West Main Street. Ol' Blues is operating the OBHCafe at Isothermal Community College and is also catering. Other restaurants in the county have also closed in the past year.
Rollins overcame adversity in April 2010 when the building sustained significant fire damage.
After a commitment from Rollins and the building owner Webb Hunt to rebuild, the popular restaurant reopened in November 2010.
Hunt said Monday afternoon things were "getting so tight" with the cost of food and overhead, Rollins was struggling.
Hunt said he hopes to meet with Rollins today and determine if there is something else they can do.
"I don't believe in shutting things down," Hunt said. "We'll try to do something."
Rollins has been in the restaurant business since he was 14. He started his career at Dockside and after college he managed Wade's in Spartanburg, S.C.
Rollins was a popular eating venue for Sunday lunch and at one time 600-plus people filled the dining room.
His menu was altered this year, offering sandwiches and other dishes from an "order only menu" at lunch time to try to cut costs, said Buchanan.
Friends posted it was one of only a few "homemade cooked meals" in the county.
"Thank to my customers, ya'll are and still will be family to me," Rollins added.
After he told his staff Sunday at closing, he said they all hugged.
"I'll be okay," he said.

Type N/NR Schmidt Test Hammer
The Type N hammer is designed for testing concrete items 4" (100 mm) or more in thickness, or concrete with a maximum particle size less than or equal to 1.25" (32 mm).
The Type NR hammer provides a record of test data. Rebound values are recorded as a bar chart on a paper strip. One roll of paper strip documents 4,000 test impacts.
Both hammers are also used for the testing of massive rock. Impact energy is 1.6 ft-lbs (2.207 Nm). Units have 1,450 psi to 18,150 psi (10 to 70 N/mm2) compressive strength.Testing Standards for N/NR: ASTM C 805, D 5873; BS 1881: Part 202
Type L/LR Schmidt Test Hammer
The Type L/LR hammer operates with significant lower impact energy, making this hammer the ideal option for testing thin walled items with a thickness between 2" and 4" (50 to 100 mm) or for testing small components.
The Type L/LR is suitable for testing cast stone components which are sensitive to impact. In rock mechanics, the Type L/LR hammers are commonly used for
classification testing of rock cores and brittle rock.
Testing Standards for L/LR: ASTM D 5873; ISRM Suggested Method for Rebound Index of Rock Cores
To operate, place impact plunger against test surface and apply pressure until plunger disappears; hammer will release. Scale pointer reading gives rebound value in percent of the forward movement of the hammer mass. Includes grinding stone, plastic case and instruction manual.
Hardened steel test anvil used for periodic performance tests and on the HA-832000 series (type "N" only) test hammers. Shipping weight is 49 lbs. (22.2 kg). Refer to ASTM C 805 for instructions.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. – Senior Alissa Peterson scored three goals, including the eventual game-winner with 2:48 left in the second half, to help the 14th-ranked Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) women's lacrosse team to a 9-8 victory over fifth-ranked Gettysburg College, this afternoon at Kohn Field. With the win, the Engineers improve to 16-3 overall and advance to Saturday's Regional Final against third-ranked Middlebury (1pm). The Bullets conclude their season at 19-2.
Gettysburg came out strong, taking a 3-1 lead in the game's first 4:35 of play. The Bullets later led 5-2 when Bridget Kenny (Gladstone, NJ/Bernards) scored her second of the half, with a hard low shot. Shannon Maguire (Randolph, NJ/Randolph) worked a quick give-and-go with Erin Riley (West Nyack, NY/Clarkstown South) just 15 seconds later, as the Engineers cut the advantage to 5-3 with 6:39 remaining.
Kenny found the back of the net for the third time with a nice roll move around the crease, before Maguire netted her second of the half on a free position to make it a 6-4 Gettysburg lead at the intermission. The goal for Maguire was the 100th of her collegiate career.
Rensselaer scored the first four goals of the second half to take an 8-6 lead, with 19:06 left to play. Peterson (Gaithersburg, MD/Quince Orchard) scored the first two goals of the run, before Maguire netted her third of the game and second on a free position attempt to give her team its first lead of the game. Rachel Scofield (Albany, NY/Colonie) netted the final goal of the run on a restart.
Gettysburg answered with a pair of goals to tie the game at 8-8. Maggie Connolly (Winchester, MA/Winchester) scored on a long drive from the outside before Lindsey Robinson (Potomac, MD/Holton-Arms) converted a quick pass from Kenny with 5:55 remaining.
The Bullets had a great chance to take the lead when they went on a player advantage at the 4:15 mark, but a turnover left Rensselaer the ball. The Engineers worked the ball quickly, before Peterson was fouled on her way to the goal. With 2:48 left on the clock, she netted the game-winner on a free position with a shot to the top right corner of the goal. The tally was Peterson's 50th of the season. Gettysburg had the ball in the final minute, but was unable to get a shot at tying the game as they turned the ball over.
Peterson and Maguire each scored three times for Rensselaer, while Maguire had five draw controls. Jamie Wakefield (Windsor, CT/Windsor) scored twice, while Riley had a pair of assists. Allie Arnal (Lakewood, NY/Phillips Exeter Academy) earned six saves on the afternoon.
Kenny scored three to pace the Bullets, Robinson had a goal and two assists, while Kelsey Markiewicz (Taconic, CT/Berkshire School) earned a goal and an assist. Lindsay Clinton (Barto, PA/Boyertown) finished with nine saves in goal.
The Engineers equal the school record for wins in season (16), which was set last year. The victory was also the schools first in NCAA Tournament play away from Renwyck Field.

Old vs. new courthouses
Here are some differences between the old and new Durham County Courthouses:
The old - endlessly waiting on one of two elevators, giving up and hiking up the back stairs.
The new - 11 elevators with six of them for the public, plus large staircases.
The old – broken seats in the courtrooms.
The new – sleek dark wooden benches in each of the courtrooms.
The old – a jury lounge that seemed more like a jury cell.
The new – spacious jury lounge with comfortable chairs, work stations, reading areas, wi-fi and a special area to watch the jury orientation video.
The old – small men's and women's bathrooms with broken faucets
The new – modern bathrooms on each floor for men, women and families.
The old – interior hallways with no benches for the public.
The new – hallways with benches and large windows that look out over the city.
The old – Durham County Sheriff's Office squeezed into small quarters with some of its offices down the street.
The new – Durham County Sheriff's Office with three floors of offices in a wing attached to the main building.
The old – low tech.
The new – high tech with Gold LEED energy-saving features, rain water cisterns to collect water for landscaping, public wi-fi throughout the building, special systems for staff throughout the building, rooftop gardens to help reduce storm water runoff, low volatile organic compound finishes in the interior.
The old – security issues when deputies brought defendants through public corridors.
The new – people in custody kept separate from the public with easy access for deputies to bring them from the jail to the courtroom.

Southern forests represent an important potential energy resource for heat, power, and electricity. Wood is not a resource that will be appropriate for every community, nor will the same sources of wood be available to every community. But many communities and industries already use wood, and the potential for others to use woody biomass for energy is significant. There is a great deal to learn about the many ways people are using wood for energy in the South.
The Wood to Energy Outreach Program developed a number of fact sheets, case studies, and community economic profiles. Community leaders and citizens can use this information as they explore the possibility of using wood for heat, power, and electricity. This fact sheet, Common Concerns, presents and answers eight typical questions that are often asked by the general public about the use of wood for energy. Information about forest management, air pollution, cost, technology, and global climate change is included.
The Wood to Energy Outreach Program is a collaborative effort of the University of Florida, School of Forest Resources and Conservation; USDA Forest Service, Centers for Urban and Interface Forestry; Southern Regional Extension Forestry; and the Southern States Energy Board. The project was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the USDA.

so nice and beautiful
Little Things Mean Alot
Blow me a kiss from across the room,
Say I look nice when I'm not,
Touch my hair as you pass my chair;
Little things mean a lot,
Kneel with me at the side of the bed
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away
Little things mean a lot
Don't have to buy me diamonds & pearls
Caviar, sables or such
I never cared much for diamonds & pearls
'Cause honestly, honey, they cost too much.
Give me your hand when I've lost my way
Give me your shoulder to cry on,
Whether the day is bright or is gray
Give me your heart to rely on!
Give me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
That always and ever, now and forever
Little things mean a lot.

Respond to Review of Raw Garden
by Gudrun
Review: "Raw Garden" is a great restaurant with original, mainly raw food. The interior is modern and creative, the atmosphere very inviting. The staff is very helpful and friendly and speaks excellent English. The extensive menu is trilingual - Latvian, Russian and English. There are separate menus for food and drinks. The selection of juices and smoothies is huge and looks delicious and very healthy. The wine list has a good selection of international wines, plus a Latvian special: birch sap wine. I tried that one and it reminded me of very dry Riesling, quite interesting... As a starter I had a wonderful raw salad garnished with edible flowers. It was very colorful, as well as the main course - "asparagus with fennel and vegetables". I was not a 100% thrilled by the main course because I love asparagus and here its taste was totally overruled by marinated peppers plus the fennel. But the dish was not bad and it tasted fresh, I just found it a strange combination. Another edible flower made it look very special. For dessert I had an excellent raw avocado cake with black currants. I wish I could come back to try more of the food!

From Footprint to Mindprint
There is a growing awareness that sophisticated businesses must look beyond footprint if they are to fully understand their role in a thriving and sustainable society. From Footprint to Mindprint is a recent research conducted by WWF UK on the impact of business on cultural values and how this shapes citizens' responses to social and environmental challenges.
Externally, companies create mindprint through their brand identity and advertising campaigns. Products and services may also convey embedded cultural values. Internally, businesses develop their own workforce culture, which influences not just company success but the values that employees take home to their communities each day. Crucially, where business' mindprint serves, over time, to strengthen extrinsic values (materialistic values and status anxiety), these factors will also contribute to eroding the importance that citizens attach to tackling social and environmental problems.
Join Tom Crompton and Jules Peck and learn about actionable examples companies which have taken seriously their impact on mindprint.
Tom Crompton, Change Strategist, WWF UK
Tom is WWF-UK's Change Strategist. His work examines the basis for today's dominant approaches to environmental communications and campaigns, and asks why these are failing to deliver the scale of change that is needed. He has worked and consulted for many governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations on environmental issues.
Tom's recent report, Common Cause: The Case for Working with Our Cultural Values, was published by a consortium of NGOs in September 2010. Its recommendations are being incorporated into the strategies of many United Kingdom–based NGOs. His other recent publications include: Weathercocks and Signposts: The Environment Movement at a Crossroads (2008); Simple and Painless? The Limitations of Spillover in Environmental Campaigning (co-authored with John Thøgersen, 2009); and Meeting Environmental Challenges: The Role of Human Identity (co-authored with Tim Kasser, 2009).
Jules Peck, Founding Partner, Flourishing Enterprise
Jules Peck is a Founding Partner at Flourishing Enterprise and co-author of the online (free) wiki book and blog www.citizenrenaissance.com, which charts the shift from 'consumer' to 'citizen' values in society.
Jules' special interest is the business implications of wellbeing economics. Jules has worked in sustainability and wellbeing for 23 years, one third in politics at the EC, in London and in Washington, one third in business and consulting and one third in NGOs like WWF – where he was Global Policy Adviser for five years.

Things I liked:Fills up quick and lasts for the entire clip.
Things I would have changed:Gas release valve is way too sensitive. Sometimes caused gun to fire when using the decocker on the pistol.
Things I liked:It's all metal which has a nice heft and feel to it. HI FLOW VALVE! That means increased FPS and blowback kick.
Things I would have changed:The price should be a little lower.
What others should know:Even though it is expensive for just one magazine, an extra mag in a battle is invaluable. If you just use your P99 for backyard shooting, I don't recommend it because of it's price tag.
