Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/2/2013 (1664 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW ORLEANS -- Ed Reed aimed an incredulous glare at a questioning reporter.
Are the San Francisco 49ers a more physical football team than the Baltimore Ravens?
"We'll see about that," said Reed, roundly considered the best safety to ever play the game. "We'll see on Sunday. They are physical. And it will be a key factor in the game. But I wouldn't say they're more physical than us. I wouldn't say that at all."
The Ravens, it seems, don't like being challenged for the heavyweight belt of hitting.
But challenged they will be on Sunday and eventually punished into submission.
This game will all come down to which team can push the other around at the line of scrimmage and San Francisco will come out on top. The Niners have the better offensive line and their front seven is younger, stronger and fresher than Baltimore's. They will prevail. Baltimore and its supporters can rant all they like about their toughness. They'll be exposed as the weaker of the two sides on Sunday and it will show up on the scoreboard in a Niners win. San Francisco will bully its way to a Super Bowl title against the franchise considered the NFL's most physical.
The Ravens may be the organization with the reputation as the NFL's biggest and baddest but they're living on yesterday's press clippings. Baltimore is no longer the meanest dog in the NFL. That title belongs to the San Francisco 49ers and soon, too, will the world champion tag.
The Ravens have been able to push around the NFL for years. Reed and Ray Lewis have led the bullying on the field. Head coach John Harbaugh has enforced it from the sidelines with his Play Like a Raven mantra.
"It means being nasty and playing rough, tough football. Playing with some type of cruelty, but not trying to kill somebody," said defensive tackle Haloti Ngata. "It's a nastiness where you're going to impose your will on teams, so that's what we what want to do. Harbaugh brought it in when he started coaching us. He brought that motto to our team and we just took off with it. We always talk about it. There's a sign at every practice and every game that says 'Play Like a Raven.' That's always there."
Brother Jim Harbaugh has a saying of his own that he's ingrained in his organization.
"Jim likes to say this all the time: 'Grind the meat and rattle the molars,'" says Niners offensive co-ordinator Greg Roman. "We say it in our organization all the time. It's about running the ball down the other team's throat and hitting hard all the time. Always finishing a block and taking every chance to punish your opponent."
Both teams have quarterbacks and receivers that can make an impact and often do. But it all starts with the run in Baltimore and in San Francisco.
"It's going to be a real physical game. (San Francisco) pride themselves and their offence prides themselves in being physical and trying to run the ball," said Ngata. "They have a physical running back. We want to be physical all the time. I expect it to be a real physical game."
John Harbaugh says he understands the maxim his brother Jim has pinned on his football team.
"Grind the meat and rattle the molars. That's Bo. That's straight Jerry Hanlon, Bo Schembechler, Michigan, Midwest, Big 10, grey-skies football," smiled John Harbaugh, when asked about his brother's approach. "That goes back to the roots. When Michigan would be ahead Bo would get on the headphones with Jerry and say, 'It's time to grind some meat.' That means it's time to run the ball, four-minute offence. They'd run an off-tackle play. Rattle the molars, that's coming off the ball. That's trench warfare for football upfront. That's football."
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is arguably the best deep-ball passer in the NFL and Colin Kaepernick has one of the league's best arms and is a threat to run at any time.
Betting the quarterbacks is often a sound strategy and Flacco's experience makes him the safer gamble. But Kaepernick's explosiveness can't be ignored.
Niners safety Donte Whitner says this game will all boil down to which team can push the other around.
"We're looking forward to it. That's our game. We're nowhere near finesse. Our game is being physical and that's why we've been able to win a lot of football games and keep a lot of people out of the middle of the football field. We'll see who's going to be the most physical," said Whitner.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Visual associations are a key part of many mnemonic systems. At first, making visual associations may feel unnatural, and it may slow you down, but keep practicing. The more you practice forming visual images, the quicker you will get. Creating visual images will always take a little extra time regardless of how fast you get, so it might not be the best strategy to use when the material you are trying to learn is being presented very rapidly. For material that you can learn at your own pace, using imagery will help. Even though it may take longer to go through the material once, you will need fewer repetitions and thus you will save time in the long run.

BOROUGH residents have been warned not to increase the risk of fly-tipping by paying rogue traders to take away their garden waste this summer.
Environmental bosses at Dudley Council are urging people to ensure that anyone collecting any kind of waste from their property is a registered waste carrier, who will dispose of the rubbish responsibly.
The call comes during the busy summer period when people are carrying out gardening work such as cutting back trees and hedges and looking to dispose of large amounts of waste.
Councillor Hilary Bills, cabinet member for environment and culture, said: "Paying someone to take it away who is not registered is likely to lead to the rubbish being fly-tipped, which leads to a cost to the taxpayer for it to be cleared up."
Residents are also encouraged to use the fortnightly green waste recycling collection to dispose of smaller garden waste or visit the Household Waste Recycling Centre in Birmingham Street, Stourbridge.
The recycling centre is open from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday and 8am to 4pm on weekends throughout the summer.
For further details on registered waste carriers people should contact the Environment Agency on 08708 506506 or visit www.gov.uk/environment-agency.
Alternatively people can call the council on 0300 555 2345.

Intimate moments from our 2012 Me in My Place Shoot.
Esquire Presents Me in My Place with Caity Lotz
Gentlemen, meet your Ladies' Tournament champion. Because, really, Sara Underwood couldn't have done it without you.
Like Brooklyn Decker, the inaugural winner of Esquire.com's not-at-all-objectifying search for the hottest woman of the year, she was the best sport in our bracket hysteria. Like 30 Rock's Katrina Bowden — from whom she inherits March's other tournament crown — she is, in fact, hot. But in 2012, a 28-year-old's Twitter offense can work faster than Kentucky's, and in a voting competition on the Internet, a strong nerd fanbase is king.
The most recent of distracting co-hosts on G4 TV's Attack of the Show, Underwood was nice enough to celebrate a finals victory over Kate Middleton on her home court, following in the footsteps of her Attack predecessor Alison Haislip: She immediately invited over our photographer to her apartment for a bonus round of his Me in My Place series with us. Two million votes and one day later, here is the acceptance speech. With pictures. And her cat. And maybe some glasses. —The Editors
(Music: "You're the Kind of Girl," by Lee Fields & the Expressions, from the album Faithful Man, on sale now)
At the beginning, nobody really said anything. But as it kept getting closer, everyone was kind of like, Wow, you're in the Sweet Sixteen? And then: Oh, the Elite Eight? They just didn't — they didn't have that much confidence. I think. Maybe.

How Much Do You Know about Social Security?
Social Security is in the news more and more, as the first wave of baby boomers retire and economic pressures on the program increase. More than 90% of Americans are covered by Social Security,* but how much do you know about this important program?
How is Social Security funded?
Unlike many government programs, Social Security is funded primarily through the collection of payroll taxes. In 2014, 85.5% of funding came from this source, with the rest derived from interest earned on government bonds held by Social Security trust funds and income taxes paid on benefits.* That's why Social Security is known as a "pay-as-you-go" system. However, someone working and paying Social Security taxes today is not funding his or her own benefits, but is funding the benefits of someone who is receiving them now or in the near future--one of the reasons why Social Security is facing a potential funding shortfall. According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), the number of retired workers will double in less than 30 years, but there will be fewer workers paying into the system. And with life expectancies increasing, benefits will be paid for a longer period.*
How are earnings reported to the SSA?
If you work for an employer, your employer will send a copy of your W-2 form annually to the SSA. If you're self-employed, the IRS will report your earnings to the SSA annually after your federal income tax return has been processed.
What benefits are available?
Although Social Security is known as a retirement program, benefits are paid to people of all ages, including surviving family members and disabled individuals. In 2014, 5.4 million people were awarded Social Security benefits. Of those, 52% were retired workers, 33% were survivors or spouses/children of retired or disabled workers, and 15% were disabled workers.*
How do you qualify for benefits?
As you work and pay payroll taxes, you earn Social Security credits. Generally, you need to work 10 years to earn enough credits to qualify for retirement benefits--other benefits have different requirements. Contact the SSA if you have any questions about your benefit entitlement.
Do most people apply for early retirement benefits?
Yes. According to a report by the Government Accounting Office (GAO), 43% of people take early retirement benefits at age 62, while almost 73% of people apply for benefits before they reach full retirement age.**
How much more will you receive if you delay applying for benefits?
For each year past your full retirement age you delay receiving benefits, your Social Security benefit will increase by a certain percentage (8% for anyone who was born in 1943 or later). For example, if your full retirement age is 66 and you delay receiving benefits until age 70, your annual benefit will be 32% higher.
Can you receive benefits based on an ex-spouse's record?
You may qualify for divorced spousal benefits if you were married for at least 10 years, you haven't remarried, you are age 62 or older, and you don't qualify for a higher benefit based on your own work record.
Do workers with lower earnings receive more from Social Security?
A worker who has lower earnings will receive a lower monthly benefit than someone with higher earnings because benefits are based on average lifetime earnings (the highest 35 years of earnings are used in the calculation). However, the Social Security benefit formula is designed to ensure that workers with lower earnings receive a greater percentage of their preretirement earnings. For example, a worker with relatively low earnings may receive a benefit that is approximately 55% of his or her preretirement earnings, while a worker with relatively high earnings may receive a benefit that is approximately 25% of his or her earnings.***
Do you have to stop working to receive Social Security retirement benefits?
No. As long as you've reached early retirement age and meet eligibility requirements, you can apply for Social Security benefits even if you decide to continue working. However, if you're younger than full retirement age and earn more than a certain amount, your benefits will be temporarily reduced (once you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be increased to account for the money that was withheld).
For more information, visit the Social Security website at www.socialsecurity.gov or call 800-772-1213.

On Thursday, October 3, NFTE's top 38 young entrepreneurs competed in at the National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge (#NYEC) for a chance at $25,000 in cash and prizes. The finalists, who are all business plan competition winners from their respective regions, were required to develop and present original business plans as part of their entrepreneurial studies at school, based on NFTE's experiential curriculum.
NYEC had three parts to it: the semi-finals in the morning, quarter-finals in the afternoon, and the final round that evening. Contestants pitched their businesses to a panel of judges who would then ask questions about every facet of their business, from profit margins to competitive advantage.
At the end of the day there were three finalists: Jesus Fernandez & Toheeb Okenla's T&J Soccer, a retail business that sells soccer socks to protect player's shins during games; Dagim Girma's The Audible, a web community where high school sports fans can engage with one another; and Juny Ngnuyen's Necksessories, a snap-on tie apparel line. Before the final round, the top three were mentored by Sean "Diddy" Combs, who also kicked off the evening portion of NYEC.
The top three presented their businesses to a panel of distinguished judges: Michael Fertik, founder and CEO of Reputation.com; Jennifer Gilbert, President of Save the Date; Pat Kiernan, Anchor at NY1 News; Jasmine Lawrence, NFTE alum, founder of EDEN BodyWorks and Program Manager at Microsoft; and Gary VonderHaar, Group Executive of Enterprise Architecture at MasterCard. In the end, Jesus and Toheeb were awarded 1st place for T&J Soccer!
Additionally, during the evening, Walt Macnee, Vice Chair of MasterCard presented NFTE with a 1.2 million dollar grant and Sean "Diddy" Combs presented a check to the organization for $250,000. The donations will continue to help support NFTE's U.S. and global programming, which builds strong business literacy skills for youth and prepares them for successful futures.
Congratulations to everyone who participated and thank you to everyone that joined NFTE for a very special day!

The Great Plains of Montana once sustained millions of bison herds but the population was devastated by development, human encroachment and habitat loss.
National Wildlife Federation has a vision to return wild, free-ranging bison to their native home in and around the 1.1. million-acre Charles M. Russell (CMR) National Wildlife Refuge.
These federal lands contain some of the most unique and viable native short grass habitat in the state, supporting a variety of prairie wildlife species, including pronghorn, elk, deer, sage grouse, swift fox and bighorn sheep. The incredible landscape can sustain a significant bison population and expand the already diverse hunting opportunities present in the CMR.
NWF efforts include:
This work presents a unique partnership opportunity to unite sportsmen, conservationists, and state and federal wildlife agencies to return an iconic species to their native habitat and you can help.

THE nephew of a decorated war hero from Dedham, killed in 1944, has contacted the Gazette to pass on a wealth of fascinating information about his relative.
Charles Francis got in touch about Private Leonard Edward Francis after reading an appeal for information by amateur historian Paul Dwyer.
Mr Dwyer was keen to learn about the soldier after buying his medals at auction.
He discovered Private Francis, 23, was shot dead while being held as a prisoner-of-war in Prague and appealed for family members and friends to get in touch.
The soldier's 67-year-old nephew, Charles, who was given Leonard as a middle name in his honour, said: "He was a brother of my father, Stanley James Francis.
"Another brother was Leslie Francis whowas a postman in Dedham for 51 years.
"There was another brother, but I cannot recall his name. I believe he lived in Leyton, East London."
Mr Francis, who lives in Laindon, near Basildon, added: "I was always told by my late father Leonard was a prisoner-of-war, but was very friendly with a certain guard.
"On one particular evening when he went out, he was told to return by a certain time before the guard changed, but he failed to, and was killed.
"I was also told he was an excellent bugler and won a number of competitions and won a silver bugle outright."
Mr Francis recalls visiting his uncle Leslie in Dedham a number of times as a child, but was unaware his uncle's name was on the war memorial in Dedham until about 15 years ago.
He said: "I have, of course, visited it nowand have been told of his place of burial.
"My father told me my second name was given to me to retain a lasting memory of him."
Others have also been in touch with information about Private Francis and his family.
Reader Valerie Sachs, 78, from Bures, lived next to Leslie Francis in Dedham High Street until his death in his nineties, in 1996.
She said she had been spellbound to read out story about his brother.
She said: "I thought 'if only Leslie was alive'...it gave me quite a shock.
It was a blast from the past.
"He spoke about his little brother Lenny. He said his mother never got over it."
Mrs Sachs said Leslie kept Leonard's bugle for some years, before giving it to the Salvation Army.
Researcher Mr Dwyer, from Northamptonshire, visited Private Francis's grave in Prague on Monday – the 70th anniversary of his death.
His research found there had been a US Army Air Force raid on Prague on July 21, 1944, during which British prisoners were locked outside the air raid shelters, several dying as a result.
Mr Dwyer said he got the impression Private Francis had been shot while trying to flee during the raid.
Private Francis was posthumously mentioned in Dispatches, as well as being awarded several other medals.

British delegation heads to Shanghai
The British Council, in partnership with the BFI, is supporting an increased presence for British film at the Shanghai International Film Festival (June 15-23).
As part of a new collaboration between the British Council and SIFF, the festival is screening seven contemporary British films: The Angel's Share, Berberian Sound Studio, Shadow Dancer, Ginger & Rosa, Everyday, Song for Marion [pictured] and Quartet. The majority of the films were backed by the BFI Film Fund.
Also the BFI's recent Hitchcokc 9 restorations will screen at SIFF. This is the first time that all nine films will be presented in China.
Two UK short filmmakers will attend SIFF supported by funds from the joint British Council/BFI Short Support Scheme; BAFTA-nominated TheVoorman Problem and The Craftsman will both screen as part of 'Mobile SIFF', the Festival's short film forum.
A full delegation from the BFI, led by BFI CEO Amanda Nevill and including Creative Director Heather Stewart and Head of International Isabel Davis, will attend the festival to meet Chinese counterparts.
A UK/China exchange programme in 2014 will see the largest ever retrospective of Chinese cinema at London's BFI Southbank.
Meanwhile, the festival welcomes Tom Hooper as jury head and Helen Mirren who is presenting Hitchcock.
Briony Hanson, Director Film, British Council, said: "It's so exciting to be able to see such a positive UK presence in SIFF this year following on from the groundwork the British Council has been doing to build audiences and interest in British arts. That the 2013 festival programme includes a selection of contemporary features, contribution from emerging talent and a celebration of one of our greatest ever filmmakers (given new life by the BFI's restoration experts), is testament to the strength of our industry."
Amanda Nevill, BFI CEO, added: "To see Chinese audiences embracing British film is thrilling and its fantastic that we are able to give what is one of the world's most important cinema-going nations the opportunity to see both the best of British screen heritage and modern British filmmaking. Equally we recognize the importance and influence of Chinese cinematic heritage here in the UK and the BFI will be celebrating this with an extensive project planned for 2014. I hope these are just the beginnings of an even closer collaborative relationship between the UK and China."

A petition to save Ilkley's Children's Centre was presented to a meeting of the full Bradford Council on Tuesday.
The 478-name petition calling for the Little Lane Children's Centre to be saved was handed over by Ilkley dads Simon Kelly and Adam Lucas, who were accompanied by one-year-old Isaac Lucas.
They were given five minutes to introduce the petition and outline the key reasons why Ilkley needs a dedicated and fully funded centre.
Bradford Council proposes to save £2.4million on the running of children's centres in the district and many in wealthier areas are earmarked for a downgrade, including the Little Lane Centre and Menston and Burley Children's Centre, which only opened three years ago. Seven separate petitions were presented against the proposed cuts.
The objectors argue that it is wrong to assume that better-off parents didn't need support.
The Ilkley petition was started by Ilkley mum Adele Senior and her one-year-old son's father, Mr Kelly, spoke at the meeting. He told councillors the centre was a vital hub for babies, children, parents, grandparents and carers.
He said: "By targeting deprivation rather than targeting need, the proposal to make Little Lane an 'outreach base' will not only significantly reduce the range and quality of services, but will also no longer serve the needs of vulnerable and struggling families.
"We ask the Council to consider the importance of providing support to all families across the district equally and regardless of income and financial circumstance and geographical location.
"We also ask that they consider the impact of losing existing dedicated Children Centre staff who together share years of local knowledge of healthcare provision and family services, as well as expertise in child care, educational practices, and parental guidance that is specific to the needs of the families they serve."
After the meeting Mr Kelly added: "I was very pleased to see that six other petitions were presented to save other centres across the district.
"Like Ilkley, these are centres not deemed by the Council to be in 'disadvantaged' areas and so face down grading to 'Outreach Centres'.
"All the speeches made strong arguments and together I really feel that we made a significant impact.
"In fact, because of the large number of Children's Centre petitions the Full Council meeting had to be extended to accommodate them and a special debate on the issue of funding children's centres was tabled.
"This is a great result and hopefully a positive first step towards overturning the Council's frankly unworkable model for restructuring early years provision across Bradford District."
He thanked everyone who has contributed to and supported the campaign and signed the petition.

Daniel Blank
Bureau Blank
New York, NY
NFTE Class of 2004
Daniel Blank grew up in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he went to Northampton High School, but didn't have the opportunity to take a NFTE course. However, after attending a summer entrepreneurship program at Babson College, he was inspired to continue.
"As long as I can remember I wanted to start my own business. I realized in high school that building strong brands was an area where creativity and business overlapped, so I took an internship at a small design firm," says Daniel. He continued working in graphic design through college, while pursuing an undergraduate business degree from New York University's Stern School of Business.
Following graduation, Daniel continued building the small client base he had served as a freelance designer during school, and worked from his apartment to build the business. He entered a Business Plan Competition sponsored by NFTE, and used the BizTech program to help him start his new business, Bureau Blank.
Daniel says, "NFTE provided me with two really critical pieces. The first was the encouragement and support—starting my own business right out of school might have been too daunting a challenge on my own, something most would not seriously consider as a career path. But with the coaching and resources that NFTE provided, it felt like an attainable and realistic route to be taking. Second, NFTE provided me with a lot of structure."
"BizTech focused me on my business plan and asked the right questions to get me thinking and planning longer term. Especially because I started the business alone, NFTE was a place to get advice, a place to learn, and a place to get positive reinforcement. Peripherally, NFTE was also my first exposure to the non-profit sector, which later turned into one of Bureau Blank's largest client bases."
Daniel currently still runs Bureau Blank in New York City with fourteen employees working for him. As for the future of his company, Daniel is very interested in global trends and the impact they have on quality of life in different parts of the world. He would like to continue work building communications tools for the people who are working to make society better. He says, "within government, academia, infrastructure and non-profits we see the builders, thinkers, investors and policymakers who can really make a difference. I hope to continue to work with them on bringing big ideas and solutions to life."

KAUFMAN, Texas - A man has been accused of making a terroristic threat in connection with the deaths of two Kaufman County prosecutors.
The mood in Kaufman, Texas, which is about 30 miles southeast of Dallas, has been tense while public officials are under guard around the clock following the slayings of District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, and the district attorney's chief felony prosecutor, Mark Hasse.
The McLellands were shot to death in their home in Forney, Texas, on Saturday. Hasse was killed outside the county courthouse about two months ago.
With the community on edge, some people appear to be deliberately trying to crank up the fear factor.
Nick Morale, 56, was arrested at his home in Terrell, Texas, on Tuesday. He has been accused of calling the Kaufman County Crime Stoppers line and saying that a specific county official would be the next victim. He has been charged with making a terroristic threat and was jailed with bond set at $1 million.
Officials said there is no evidence tying Morale to the slaying.
"All threats will be taken seriously, investigated and prosecuted," said Lt. Justin Lewis of the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office.
One of those threats involves a Facebook entry posted Monday that predicts the death of another assistant district attorney. The entry was a long rant that read, in part: "I expect that (KPRC is not naming the assistant district attorney) will soon perish, bringing closure to an era of unacceptable practices."
The name signed on the post was Bob Miller. The profile did not list any friends, but whomever set up the profile did "like" several newspapers and television stations.
At a news conference on Tuesday, detectives said they don't have any suspects in the slayings.
According to sources, after Hasse was killed, McLelland went to the hospital and told friends that Eric Williams was the prime suspect. Williams is a former justice of the peace who lost his job after he was prosecuted by McLelland and Hasse on charges of burglary and theft. Williams was convicted.
Williams was the first person questioned after the McLellands were killed.
"They did a gun residue test," Williams said. "I gave them my cellphone so they could get all the info they wanted."
Williams said he did not have a grudge against Hasse or McLelland.
Williams said he is cooperating with the investigation and his heart goes out to the victims.
Hundreds of federal, state and local investigators have been going through files at the District Attorney's Office to see if they can find anyone who may have wanted to hurt the prosecutors.
The McLellands will be laid to rest on Thursday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Police in Jacksonville are looking for a suspect after a chain reaction crash at a gas station on the Westside late Wednesday afternoon.
Police said a man driving a stolen truck slammed into a man gassing up at the station in the 9000 block of West Beaver Street about 4:30 p.m., then careened into a motorcyclist.
The man who was pumping gas was taken to Shands Jacksonville Medical Center. The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries and was also taken to Shands.
Police told Channel 4 both the motorcyclist and the driver of the truck are in serious but stable condition.
The suspect fled, and officers were searching for him, police said.
"There's no exact manhunt going on right now. We don't know which direction the person left from this area," said Detective J.D. Gregory, of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. "He's apparently acquainted -- as far as our information -- acquainted with the owner of the van. So it wasn't a random act."
Detectives said they have a good idea who the suspect is, but they don't know why he was driving the van. The owner of the van doesn't know either. Police are searching for the owner.
"There's all kinds of reasons why people would run right now. I don't want to step out any further than that," said Detective J.D. Gregory of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Gary Cohent said he witnessed the accident and is friends with the motorcyclist.
"Oh yeah, it is a bad scene. It is a wonder some body didn't get burnt up or killed," said Cohent.
Cohent said he hopes officers catch the guy, but more than that, he hopes his friend and the other two people involved will be okay.
"Just hopefully they'll be okay. Cause you can replace the vehicles but you cant replace them ," said Cohen.

BAKER COUNTY, Fla. - Deputies in Baker County have arrested a couple in connection with six high-dollar home burglaries.
In one alone, about $150,000 worth of jewelry was taken.
Charles Cope, 35, and Julie Driggers, 43, were arrested and booked into the Baker County jail.
Cope is nine-time convicted felon who spent 12 of his 35 years in prison. He confessed to six burglaries in Baker County in the last six weeks, and 50-60 more in Duval County, deputies said.
"He is a professional burglar, he is the real deal," Baker County Sheriff Joey Dobson said.
Investigators said Driggers met him in jail while visiting another male inmate in April.
Baker County deputies and Jacksonville police served a search warrant Wednesday morning at Driggers' house on Shellcracker Road on Black Hammock Island. Investigators said they found items valued at a half-million dollars.
Deputies said the two also had a pistol on them in Baker County when they were pulled over in a traffic stop under suspicion by Deputy Chris Walker.
"I noticed the passenger, Mr. Cope's stomach was going in and out very fast, he was very nervous," Walker said. "I saw jewelry and other stuff in the vehicle, he was anxious to give me any other information. At this point I realized I had the bad guys."
Cope had a semiautomatic MAC-10 with a silencer (pictured, above) on him when arrested, deputies said.
The sheriff says Cope used a crow bar and a baseball bat to break in houses, stealing guns, gold and electronics.
"We did find that he had pawned some items and sold gold to stores in Jacksonville," Dobson said.
Cope was being questioned in Duval County about the crimes there.

Shredded Sprouts Salad.
I told you it was coming.
More sprouts!
When I initially posted about brussels sprouts (shocking all), many of you chimed in and suggested shredding the sprouts into a salad of sorts. For some crazy reason, this sounded incredibly appetizing to me.
And it was fun. Seeing the sprouts go from firm rounds to tiny shreds amused my simple mind.
If I'm being truthful, I must admit that I've been eating the original sprouts mixture without the bacon grease or the bacon. Great news, no? I pan roast them with a bit of olive oil and balsamic, salt and pepper, and am good to go.
But I must start slowly with a new recipe. So I added one simple slice of bacon and just a tiny bit of cheese – nothing too heavy. Makes a world of difference on these sweet teeth.
We all know how much I dislike vegetables and this was such a fabulous dish. It could be because I really enjoy chopped salads. Or bacon. Or cheese.
Or it could just be because it is utterly delicious. Scrumptious. Delectable.
I truly believe that even the biggest veggie-hater (me) would love the shredded sprouts salad.
Shredded Sprouts Salad
2 cups whole brussels sprouts
1/2 clove of garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 slice bacon, fried and crumbed
1/2 ounce grated asiago cheese
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
I begin by cutting the stems off of the brussels sprouts – you can do this, or skip this step.
Add sprouts to a food processor and pulse until sprouts are tiny shreds. Do it manually so you can control the size of the shreds. You want some larger pieces and you don't want them to be crumbs!
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shredded sprouts, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and saute for about 5-7 minutes, or until sprouts are browning. Add vinegar while stirring and make sure sprouts are all coated. Saute for another 1-2 minutes. Remove and plate.
Top with crumbled bacon and a small sprinkling of asiago cheese. Devour!
Be sure to follow howsweeteats on instagram and tag your recipes with #howsweeteats! You can also post a photo of your recipe to the howsweeteats facebook page. I appreciate you so much!
Can someone please tell me who I am? Because I really don't know.
P.S. -> there is a (tasty!) giveaway going on over at the How Sweet Facebook page.

Student Publications Strive to Broaden Audiences, Increase Visibility
American University Washington College of Law student publications are working this year to increase their visibility in the law school and legal communities by embracing technology, working with local law firms, and expanding their mission statements.
The members of the Journal of Gender and Social Policy are creating a new website this year to expand their journal's readership base. The journal members have created a new digital editorial board position to organize blog posts and approve content before it is published on the website.
Ryan Gofus, 3L and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Gender and Social Policy, said that creating a website for the journal has been a major process, but one that he hopes will expand their reputation.
"Paper publications are on their way out," said Gofus. "I think the website will really highlight all of the great work that we do, and all of the great articles and student pieces we publish. I think that AUWCL students are very tuned in and uniquely capable of addressing the issues of our journal, and feel passionately about them and working on them. The website will be a great channel for sharing this work."
The members of the Administrative Law Review are focused on this year's write-on competition. 1Ls participate in this annual competition each year during spring break to gain membership on a journal. According to the staff, new members with fresh ideas keep the publication alive.
Editor-in-Chief Melissa Lim, 3L, said publishing good authors and quality articles that are often cited increases the visibility of the ALR and strengthens its connections within the administrative law community.
"We're also starting an advisory board where we reach out to practitioners throughout the country that practice administrative law and have them serve as advisors to the ALR for two-year tenures," said Lim.
According to Lim, a number of judges and practitioners from law firms and agencies throughout the country have agreed to be part of this new advisory board.
The staff of the American University Law Review (AULR) is hoping to expand the visibility of their publication by hosting a Federal Circuit panel discussion at Baker Hostetler, a D.C. law firm.
"We're holding it off campus, which we also did for our symposium," said Peter Frechette, 3L and editor-in-chief of AULR. "This is a way to get students into the legal world and get them downtown to help them interact with practitioners. Sometimes there are limitations to the number of practitioners that can get to the law school during the day, so we're trying to bridge that gap."
The AULR is the only annual book in the country dedicated to the Federal Circuit Court's decisions.
The Modern American joins the ranks of the other law school publications working to expand their readership by implementing new ideas.
According to Michelle Holland, 2L and editor-in-chief, the staff is working to expand the mission statement of the Modern American to make it applicable to more groups of people.
"Traditionally it seems that the publication was strictly about socio-economic and racial diversity, but we kind of think that diversity means more than that," said Holland. "It's more than just someone's sexual orientation or someone's race or ethnicity, it encompasses different things about us that make us unique to everyone else. We want to make it so that more social issues that may not have traditionally been encompassed by diversity can be brought in and can enter the discussion."

Calquan Burr, 20, of Planet Zoltron, was arrested late last Sunday after charging a police cruiser, leaping onto the hood and cracking the windshield.
Alarmed locals in Dalton Township, Michigan, had summoned law enforcement after seeing a man armed with a four-foot metal pole "casing" the neighborhood.
When officers rounded the corner of Blue Lake and Duff roads, however, Burr sprung from the shadows toward their vehicle—a manoever caught on dashcam.
"There was no time to avoid him," Lt. Shane Brown of the Muskegon County Sheriff's Department told ABC News.
Once arrested, Burr, reportedly uninjured, told deputies that he was from Planet Zoltron and intended to crush their car. He was later charged with aggravated assault against a police officer.
Police say they suspect Burr was "under the influence of mind-altering drugs."

Keeping the blues alive: North Bend's Paul Green shares love of music at first North Bend Blues Walk
A man with a tenor sax is waiting to jam. A couple just pulled up chairs by the stage, and there's two guys in the back playing a board game.
It's a real mellow atmosphere, with Paul Green crooning "Lost Mind", just about to let his harmonica wail through The Black Dog cafe.
Green, North Bend's resident blues legend, takes the stage every week here. Music, the blues in particular, has been his life, ever since he picked up a harmonica at age 20.
Blues music is still vibrant, and Green does his part to keep it that way. He'll be one of a dozen performers to rouse North Bend's downtown Saturday, April 20, at the inaugural North Bend Blues Walk.
Paul's career
"I was always attracted, from a young age, to blues and jazz," says Green.
Growing up in New Jersey, Green came from a musical, artistic family—his mother was a dancer in the New York Metropolitan Opera, and his father was a ceramicist. Elizabeth, N.J., was a white, upper-class community, but nearby were towns with large African-American populations. Green remembers hearing R&B and some blues, from an early age. He asked his mom for his first John Lee Hooker album at age 12, started listening religiously to the local college's late Sunday blues radio show, and keyed in on a broad range of recording artists.
Green had a late start to his career. Listening to a Paul Butterfield album, he decided to try harmonica. After a year, he was pretty good. Around 1970, he got the chance to sit in with the band at an Ashbury Park club called the Cat's Meow. Terrified at first, he played his heart out, and the people liked it. He was invited back the next week, and his career began.
Performing as a member of house bands at blues spots, and with his own bands, Green's career has taken him from New Jersey to Oakland, Calif., and the Bay Area. In 1989, he moved to Chicago, performing in Buddy Guy's 'Legends' club, among others, sharing the stage with a number of greats.
He moved to the Seattle area in 1991, and has gotten a lot of notice in the Northwest for his harmonica and vocal work.
With his band Straight Shot, a blues, funk and R&B group, Green is a regular at events like the North Bend Block Party.
Green is technically retired, but still plays. He does it for the love. Five months ago, Green approached the owners of The Black Dog in Snoqualmie with an idea.
With Boxley's popularizing jazz and blues up the road, "I thought it would be nice to have something similar in Snoqualmie," he said. The owners agreed, and so Green joined forces with Snoqualmie's Chris Clark, an experienced bass player and regular guest player and youth mentor at Boxley's, for weekly blues sessions.

Blues walk
This weekend's Blues Walk is important, says Green, because of the role it plays in keeping the blues growing and vibrant.
"It's going to be great," Green says of the upcoming walk. Last fall's Jazz Walk was a big success.
"The purpose is to not only provide music for the community, but also to support the Boxley's Music Fund, which does education for young musicians, as well as paying the musicians who play at Boxley's and other functions," he explains.
Boxley's Music Fund founder Danny Kolke says the commitment of musicians like Green pushes others to share their best.
"It's what excellence always does," he told the Record. "It inspires us to be more than we are. And it's part of the magic of the blues."
Here in the Northwest, the blues music scene is quite good, says Green. But given the state of the economy, it's not what it used to be. Some places that used to feature live music have closed down.
"But there's still places to play," he says.
"Blues, and any form of music, goes through ups and downs. But there'll always be blues and jazz in this country."
Downtown sound
The North Bend Blues Walk is 6 p.m. Saturday, April 20.
Performers include Paul Green, Little Bill and the Blue Notes, the T-Town Aces, Blues Redemption, the Brian Lee Trio, and others.
Thirteen venues in the downtown area take part.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $8 for children under age 15, in advance, $20 and $10 on the day of the event.
Get tickets and see a schedule at northbendblueswalk.com or visit facebook.com/northbendblueswalk.
Music fund
The Blues Walk is sponsored by the Boxley Music Fund, a non-profit effort to support live musical performance and education.
Monthly Educational Clinics in partnership to enhance local music programs and inspire students.
The fund promotes monthly music lesson scholarships to help students who can't afford to take lessons, funds the Future Jazz Heads and formation of student groups to create the next generation of jazz musicians, and also promotes regional music festivals, drawing new visitors to the Valley.

CALHOUN COUNTY, Mich. -
According to police, the accident happened at 3:30 p.m. Monday. The vehicle, a 2013 Ford Explorer, was traveling eastbound on Interstate 94 near Verona Road when it ran off the highway and struck a tree.
The driver, 55-year-old William Gatesy, was pronounced dead at the scene. His 53-year-old wife, Dawn, and their 28-year-old son, William III, also died on scene.
The remaining two passengers, an 81-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man, were transported to a Kalamazoo hospital where they are recovering from non- life threatening injuries.
All of the passengers were from Allen Park.
The accident closed eastbound I-94 for an hour.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Allen Park neighbors grieve for family
The family was returning home from a casino in west Michigan.
"One of the greatest families you'll ever meet in your life. They were so close," said Samantha Bossetti, a neighbor.
Dawn Gatsey was a paraprofessional with Wyandotte Public Schools. She was the neighbor everyone looked up to.
"Always had a smile on her face, was always having fun ... loved her family more than life itself," said Samantha Bosetti.
William Gatesy was a former Allen Park city employee. He was a hockey coach and referee.
"He didn't sugar-coat anything. If you needed a kick in your but, Bill would be there to do it," said neighbor Matthew Bosetti.
The couple's son, Billy, was just 28 years old.
"He lit up a room, honestly, if you were having a bad day it didn't matter," said Samantha Bosetti.
Police say the father was driving when the SUV veered off the highway. They say a medical problem may have played a roll in the crash.
Billy knew the 81-year-old woman from Bingo at the American Legion Hall and invited her to make the trip.
"It really doesn't matter what age you are, you're a friend to (Billy) no matter what age," said Whitney Rivera, a friend.
William and Dawn are survived by two daughters and two grandchildren.
"They would do anything. Give you the shirt off your back just to make sure you're OK, and that's how I'll always remember that family," said Rivera.

WA scholars Gavin Mooney and Delys Weston - who were allegedly murdered by Dr Weston's son in Tasmania this week - remained active in the academic world until the end, according to colleagues.
Professor Mooney, 69, and Dr Weston, 62, were killed through blunt force trauma, believed to have been delivered with either a hammer or a sledgehammer.
Dr Weston's 27-year-old son Nicholau Francisco Soares, who lives in Fremantle, has been charged with two counts of murder.
Dora Marinova, deputy director of Curtin University's Sustainability Policy Institute, said Dr Weston recently had her PhD published by Routledge.
Professor Marinova, who was also a colleague of Professor Mooney, described Dr Weston as "one of [her] best PhD students".
"It was my pleasure to supervise her research as she was one of my best PhD students, combining critical thinking and sharp analytical mind with a great heart and passion for the underprivileged people everywhere in the world," Professor Marinova said.
"She was also a modest, caring and gentle soul with love for all.
"Today is a very sad day for the academic community as it lost not only two bright minds but also two cherished and compassionate researchers."
Those thoughts were echoed by Curtin University vice chancellor Jeanette Hacket, who described Professor Mooney as "brilliant academic who wanted to make a difference".
Professor Mooney was the director of the Social and Public Health Economics Research Group at Curtin from August 2000 until his retirement in October 2008.
With a career spanning more than 40 years in health economics, Professor Mooney was internationally acclaimed with many books to his name.
In 2009, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Cape Town as "one of the founding fathers of health economics".
"But it was Gavin's enduring commitment to improving Aboriginal health that he will be remembered for," Professor Hacket said.
"He worked at both academic and community levels to pave the way for Aboriginal control of Aboriginal health services."
According to Professor Marinova, Professor Mooney and Dr Weston had remained selflessly committed to worthy causes - working to establish a community garden in East Fremantle before their 2011 departure to Tasmania and helping the needy in South Africa through their work at the University of KwaZulu.
The bodies of Professor Mooney and Dr Westeron were found early in the hours of Thursday morning, after a phone call prompted police to visit a property in Mountain River, south of Hobart.
It is understood Mr Soares was found at the scene and that he had only been in Tasmania for a matter of days.
"It's just one of those tragic situations, unfortunately," Detective Inspector Peter Powell said.
Inspector Ian Lindsay told ABC that it was still too early to determine what happened.
"The investigation is in its early stages and we haven't identified any motive," he said.
"We'll be forensically examining the house; we'll also be conducting further inquiries and, at some point during the day, the male in custody I expect will be given the opportunity to be interviewed."
Mr Soares appeared in a Tasmanian court on Thursday. The ABC reported no plea was entered and that there was no application for bail.

An inaugural music event to raise vital funds for a brain injured teenager has proven to be very popular.
The SamStock festival, organised to raise money for Sam Richards who sustained a serious brain injury after falling in a play area in 2012, was attended by more than 1,500 people.
The festival, held yesterday at the Museum of Power, Langford, was headlined by Toploader, with other artists including Scarlett's Roses, Next of Kin and Vince Freeman from The Voice, and a range of entertainers including stilt walkers, free runners and dance troops.
Co-organiser Sue Wyllie said: "It was a fantastic day.
"Everyone had a great time and the bands were excellent. All the organisers got on stage with Toploader and sang along to Dancing in the Moonlight which was incredible.
"There were a lot of families and there was a great atmosphere.
"We are looking forward to holding it next year."

Did you know?
The organic dates grown in Pella are sold to mail-order customers all over South Africa.
If you're a confident 4x4 driver, with good driving and navigating skills, then try the Namaqua Adventure Route, one of South Africa's least visited and most beautiful 4x4 trails.
The Namaqua Adventure Route is not for the fainthearted and it's best to travel with at least one other vehicle just in case of an unexpected breakdown.
The entire 612km 4x4 trail stretches along the Gariep River from Pella, the little mission station near Pofadder in the Northern Cape, to the river's mouth in Alexander Bay. However, if you have time, add another 120km to your journey to test your skills further at Amam's dunes.
The first section of the route is from Pella to Vloolsdrift, but visit Pella's fascinating church in its almost surreal setting of date palms and sun-baked hills before you set off.
Set aside three days for this 328km first part of the trip that runs through communal and private land, most belonging to the scattered Nama people. Take all your supplies with you because there are none available along the way.
It's worth taking the one-day detour to Amam (named Xam Xam by the indigenous people after the wild grass that grows there) where you'll be faced with some of the best 4x4 desert dune driving in the country.
Experts claim that the second part of the route, from Vloolsdrif to Alexander Bay, crossing the mountains of the southern Richtersveld, is comparatively 'easier' than the first part, with general dealer stores along the way if you need to stock up on essentials.
The entire trail takes you through remote desert landscapes, although it's comforting to know that civilization is not too far away if you need it.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Namaqua Tourism
Tel: +27 (0)27 712 8035/6
How to get here
The Namaqua Adventure Route starts at Pella, west of Pofadder in the Northern Cape, which is on the N14.
Best time to visit
Autumn and spring. Avoid October to January as these are the hottest months with temperatures over 40ºC.
Around the area
Pella's remarkable church was built over seven years in the early 1800s from pictures in a German encyclopedia by two Catholic priests both of whom are buried on the church grounds.
What will it cost
Trail permits cost R150 per vehicle per section, camping sites included. Permits can be obtained at the Springbok Regional Tourism Office.
Length of stay
Four full days. However, the scenery is so spectacular you might want to take a couple of extra days to explore.
What to pack
All the gear necessary for an arduous 4x4 trail, plus all your food, cooking equipment, petrol and water for the first part of the trail. The second section has general dealer stores along the route. A GPS is essential.
Where to stay
There are basic camping sites along the route. You will be given directions to these and for the trail when you buy your permits.

Concerns have been raised after sewage was released into the River Wandle.
The high amount of rainwater seen in recent weeks means more water is entering the Beddington Sewage Works.
Cyclists spotted sewage in the river on the Mitcham/Hackbridge border
Water has filled up the works' storm tanks and, due to the sheer volume of water, sewage has been released into the River Wandle which flows through Croydon, Sutton, Mitcham, Wimbledon and Wandsworth.
Sewage debris, sludge and fungus has been seen along the river.
A spokesperson for Thames Water said the matter being released into the river was 'heavily diluted wastewater' and normal in such exceptional weather conditions.
David Usher, 69, from Wallington, cycles next to the River Wandle once a week and noticed the appearance of sewage yesterday.
He said: "There's a huge amount of toilet paper waste pouring into it. It is polluted. All the water is filled with toilet water – the water is grey.
"It is horrible. It's a real shame. I cycle here once a week and I've not seen it like that before.
"We did report it to the National Trust people we saw in Morden Hall Park."
Yesterday the Environment Agency informed the Wandle Trust, a charity dedicated to maintaining the River Wandle and its catchment, that no environmental damage had been detected.
However, sludge scoured from the sewage work tanks may be getting into the river and is described as looking like shredded toilet paper.
The Wandle Trust said they were taking the situation very seriously.
The river has been plagued by problems in the recent past. In 2007 the river's fish population was decimated by an accidental spill of sodium hypochlorite by Thames Water and in 2012 toxic red diesel found its way into the river.
A trout in the River Wandle
A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said: "We are aware of this and are monitoring the situation and impacts.
"Currently there has only been a low environmental impact with minor impact on the quality of water and no impact on fish or wildlife.
"We are working with Thames Water and other partners, such as the Wandle Trust, to manage the situation."

Topic: Not the greatest news in the world
so, just got copies of my CT scan that was done on Tuesday, not great news. I have 4 more BIG tumors in my liver, more lymph node involvement, and now it has spread to L3, S1 and to my right Ileum (hip). At least I know why my back has been hurting lately! I feel fine and when I talk to my oncologist on Monday we are going to have a Sunday come to Jesus meeting to talk about more aggressively fighting this sucker!

I have a not so great smoker that the wife bought me. It is not ideal but gets the job done.
Anyway I have been using it for a while now, and I always had the coals resting on a grate that was elevated by two small pieces of brick. So, the vents were kind of below the coals. Should I remove the bricks and just have the coals next to the vents, on the same level?
The only problem I guess I have with this smoker is with the current setup, coals elevated, the coals in the firebox tend to shoot flames into the main chamber.

ROI in online networking strategies
The new Social Economy is all about Creativity and targeted interactions matching your personal networking & communication style. This is very present online and therefor the new social media tools play an important part in this process. Social media tools and networks can be a great help in discovering these, if used correctly. If you think that using a Social Media Strategy is just about having presences on LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter, you will not succeed in getting any ROI out of these activities for your company.
Social media ROI for companies can be found in establishing metrics for the following goals:
More than 93% of corporate social media strategies sadly fails to deliver a return on investment on any of these metrics so be sure that you are able to distinguish 'Value' from enthusiasm first in using new media first. I can recommend reading this paper by the IRIS institute on Social Media ROI if you are interested in some scientific research.
Be sure to:
...activity in social media using the proper tools first. There are a lot of nonsense social media analytics tools around, instead just focus on using website analytics instead such as Omniture or Google analytics to determine what the success of your social media campaign is.
Following that, create your social media go-to-market strategy suiting your Brand and company culture.
Targeted Communication is essential
'Be as personal in your social media communication as possible'. Don't just target anyone, find out who the greatest Influencers (Top-Advocates) are for your brand in the Social Media landscape. You will only succeed to create Value online for your Target in social media.
In Holland I give seminars about adopting successful social networking strategies and applications. My system is known there as the 5 G's of Van den Bel. Sadly the 5 G's don't translate very well in English but nevertheless you can read all about ETOS (the translation) by clicking 'more information'.

I think it's very important in electronic music to be extra wary of letting any part repeat without any change for too long. I like to add little variations all over my music. There are thousands of ways to make mini-breakdowns and fills interesting. Here's a technique I use from time to time that involves hihats and Ableton's Random plug-in. You can click the image above to enlarge it.
This is a fairly simple trick. In this example, I open a Drum Rack and load in a set of Sequential Circuits Drumtraks samples. You can get the same sample pack free from: http://samples.kb6.de. Next, I click on the Show/Hide Chain List icon to reveal all the samples being used and click/highlight the closed hat. I also click the Show/Hide Devices icon which reveals the closed hat's waveform. I grab an instance of the Ableton Random plug-in and drag it in-between the waveform and the Drum Rack module. Inside the Random plug-in I set the Chance parameter to 93%, Choices to 12 and the Scale to 1.
Now whenever I want to add a little spice to a fill I drop out the kick, change a few snares, add some more HiHats and automate the Random plug-in to turn ON. Here's an audio example. Listen to bar 4 and 8:
You can have the Random plug-in effect many different elements including filters, pans, and note lengths. If you keep the Chance Parameter set low you can add a subtle unique mark on your music.

Quebec disaster should prompt train whistle cessation
Saturday, Jan 04, 2014 06:00 am
I don�t know how long the person that wrote the Dec. 28 Our View article about funding the train whistle cessation program has lived in St Albert but obviously not very long.
Funding for the train whistle cessation has been in process for a number of years and the last request that is in front of council right now should be enough to bring this program to completion. (Other cities in Canada have had it for years).
With the disaster that happened in Quebec last summer I am seriously thinking that maybe the removal of the train tracks through St. Albert should be where we should be going with the funding, but safe crossings is a start.
To the writer: you should know that years ago one train came through St. Albert each day. I would venture to say that on an average in the summer six to seven trains come through St. Albert with many of those from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
As the writer may or not be aware the federal government has quietly approved trains to be longer then they have been in the past which means their annoying sounds even without the whistles blaring will keep us awake at night.
With the new developments going up west of Mission (right beside the tracks) and west of Lacombe Park Estates (right beside the tracks) I will guarantee you that there will be a large public outcry from these new residents if our present council does not do the right thing and budget the money to allow the residents of St. Albert the quiet and comfortable sleep that we all deserve.
I applaud council for moving on to complete this program before the price tag goes up again.
Dan Merkowsky, St. Albert

SANFORD, Fla. - Seminole County students may be seeing more armed deputies at elementary schools, if a proposal is passed.
Seminole County School Board officials heard a proposal on Tuesday night that would add 10 new full-time school resource deputies to be assigned to 22 elementary schools.
The plan would cost $700,000 and the cost would be split between the district and the Sheriff's Office. It will be voted on at a meeting next month.
Besides playing the tradition role of resource officer, deputies would also be teaching students the new "Focus on Safety" program that deals with topics like bullying and gang violence.
The proposal has put many parents' minds at ease.
"I think it addresses the bigger problem of the shooters in the school because so many of those kids have been bullied and slipped through the cracks," said Lalania Miller, mother of a third grader.
If the proposal passes, Seminole County will join Orange and Flagler counties, which have both added more security in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn. Citizens of Seminole County could start seeing deputies in schools as early as fall of this year.

Listen to everything by John C. Maxwell.
©2005 John C. Maxwell; (P)2005 Thomas Nelson Publishers
"Great read on Leadership"
I've heard this book in a much longer form years ago read by John himself. Here we have a 'new' version of the audio book and unlike many of the other books this one has a much better narrator. Here I was reminded of what is wrong with our current national and international leadership. I'm also reminded of basic leadership skills that I've forgotten and sometimes not applying and others I am. I found the book very informative about leadership and why we need some real leadership in the government, business, schools and our own homes.
"Teaches a lot on the qualities of a leader"
Yes, because Mr. Maxwell is probably the best teacher when it comes to leadership and relationships.
I cannot think of a book that I can compare this book to. For a leader, it might rank up there with
I have heard Mr. Maxwell speak often. Mr. Shepherd captured the nuance I would have expected Mr. Maxwell to have.
I always learn something new when reading or listening to John Maxwell. Being a new leader, this book has given me ideas on how to change to meet the challenges of leadership.
Good tools to make positive changes in your life and the lives of those around you.
"Good principles"
I have always respected the wisdom shared by John Maxwell. very practical knowledge as well. good book.
"Sound Principles and Practical Advice for Leaders"
This is a book that is meant to be read multiple times, slowly digested, and put into practice. Here is proof that great leaders are not born. They are carefully prepared and baked in the oven of experience. Good stuff!
"Empty book"
This book tells you that to be a leader you have to be perfect. Basically it describes 21 characteristics that are generally appreciated by others. You could summarize this book in 2 pages. Lot of repetition and quotes, even quotes of John C. Maxwell himself! How stupid is that... I think the author has too much self-love which is obvious throughout the book. He is often describing his experiences and actions as the way to go.
