Top Ten Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time
This great feature is hosted every Tuesday at The Broke and the Bookish.
I came up with five books.
Here is my list in no particular order, with explanations as to why I wish I could read some already read books for the first time:
1. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
Jane Eyre is one of my favourite novels of all time. I read it for the first time when I was sixteen and I have re-read it a few times since, but that first impression I got of the book cannot be repeated. I loved how surprised I was to learn the truth behind all the mystery and how thrilling that was. Now I know what to expect, so there are no surprises anymore. In my opinion, Jane Eyre contains one of the best plot twists ever written.
2. The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux.
This is my favourite novel and I think it'd be thrilling to be able to discover its beauties for the first time. The best experience I had when reading this novel for the first time was that I gradually learned to love and sympathise with the main character - the Phantom. As I re-read it now, I delve into the world already knowing his history and loving it, so I'm biased. That first journey of discoveries was quite magical.
3. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
This is a little known fact, but the first time I read this famous novel, I didn't think much of it at all. I enjoyed it, but I quickly forgot it. I only began to appreciate its value when the BBC series began to air. Then I returned it, more mature and better versed in literature, and saw it in a different light. I wish I could read it for the first time now because my reading tastes have changed dramatically since I was fifteen.
4. Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz.
This has been one of the best and most spiritual reads I have ever experienced. I would like to experience this type of reading again, with this amazing book.
5. The Wyndspelle trilogy by Aola Vandergriff.
For me, these books provided me with such thrill! I have re-read the trilogy, but it's just not the same. I'd love to experience that thrill again.

Pride & Prejudice was lovely. I didn't think I was going to like it all too much, but I found it to be an interesting, engaging read.
I have yet to read Jane Eyre, though that's been on my TBR list for a while.

"Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte".was a romantic favorite. I read the book after viewing a BBC Jane Eyre broadcast starring Toby Stephens as Rochester. I love Jane's strength and that she is not afraid to stand up to anyone; that she is a woman of character and principle.

Great list! I think I'll do one of my own. Have a good one... :)

"Our simulation study showed that a pill that combines aspirin, a drug that lowers blood cholesterol (a statin), and three drugs that lower blood pressure, could be one of the most cost-effective health interventions to reduce heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular health risks," says study leader Dr. Leonelo Bautista, associate professor of population health sciences. Bautista led a team that included academics and public health leaders from across South America, Central America and the Caribbean.
They looked at the costs of treating people at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease with a polypill and the benefits of that intervention in terms of gains in quality-adjusted life years (QALY), a measure that takes into account both the quantity and quality of life generated by a health care intervention.
The study found the pill could reduce the lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease by 15 percent in women and 21 percent in men. The results of the study suggest that the pill should be offered to women at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease and to all men 55 years and older. Using the polypill in these groups would result in a cost of about $35 per quality-adjusted life year gained.
The polypill was not only cost-effective for preventing cardiovascular disease and stroke, but was also cost-effective compared with many interventions already in use in Latin America. For instance, the cost of $35 per QALY for the polypill compares to $56 per QALY for annual screening for cervical cancer, $700 per QALY for eye exams to check for diabetic retinopathy, or $1,020 per QALY for the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors for blood pressure control.
The per capita gross national income in the countries included in the study ranged from $4,710 in Peru to $15,500 in Puerto Rico. In all countries the additional cost of gaining one QALY was many times lower than the per capita gross national income, the recommended guideline to identify if an intervention is cost-effective.
"By all measures, this type of intervention would be cost-effective, and could also be cost-saving," says Bautista, who also says that the findings of this type of study can help governments in defining public health policies to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
While such a "polypill" is not available in the United States at this time, there is evidence that using a polypill in US men 55 years old and older could result in lower cost and higher health benefit that the standard approach of screening and treating for hypertension and hypercholesterolemia.
The study is being published in the January edition of the journal Health Affairs. A grant from the Inter-American Development Bank supported the study.
About the Polypill
A "polypill" is a tablet or capsule consisting of a combination of drugs to reduce several cardiovascular risk factors simultaneously: aspirin, a statin (to lower cholesterol), and three drugs to lower blood pressure. All components of the polypill have been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease events by 20 to 35 percent in people with, and without, previous cardiovascular events, but the impact of a combination pill is uncertain.
It is known that cardiovascular disease deaths could be cut by half by reducing smoking, blood cholesterol, and blood pressure. Unfortunately, using medication to prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke by treating a minority of patients with high values of blood pressure and blood cholesterol can achieve only modest reductions in the risk of cardiovascular disease in the population. The idea of a "polypill" is based on using an intervention on everyone at increased risk, regardless of individual level of blood cholesterol and blood pressure, and reducing three risk factors with only one pill.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, mixed quality ingredients, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form. It is the sole meat product in the food. The main grains in the food are barley, corn and oats. Barley and oats are decent quality grains, but corn is a difficult to digest grain of limited value and commonly associated with allergy problems. Rice bran is a grain fragment we consider to be primarily filler. Corn Gluten Meal is the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that bit of the corn leftover after most of the nutritious bits have been removed. Fortunately, this is a minor ingredient.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. The food contains a small amount of vegetable matter in the form of sweet potatoes.
Overall, the product appears to have minimal meat content, and remaining ingredients are of mixed quality.

This eatery is my idea of a hole-in-the-wall, and it's one of my favorites.
Countryside was one of those restaurants that I'd drive by everyday when I was in college. I never ate there though, I was too busy with Full House and Sally's (gosh, I miss those places). Plus, my boyfriend at the time once pointed at Countryside and stated, "I'd never take you there." He never told me why and it's ironic that the man I ended up marrying once pointed to the same place and said, "I'll take you there."
I've been told many times that I "… don't look like the type of person who could eat in places like that." You'd be surprised. I met my good friend K, at Aysee's 11 years ago and I knew I had a friend for life when she also asked for a raw egg atop her already-heaving, heart attack plate of sisig. I'm attracted to people with hearty appetites; I think it says a lot, and not just about their eating habits either.
Cheeky wit, Pinoy style.
When I think hole-in-the-wall, I think of a place like Countryside: a roadside eatery with the day's dishes displayed in aluminum pots. Most often they've got a grill going off on the side, its aromatic fog contributing to the fug and fumes perfuming the food. One look at the meat on heat automatically gets my mouth watering.
Barbeque (P28/stick) is what made Countryside. After a failed attempt at a steakhouse in 1970, owner Nerissa Aquino started up a sari-sari store and small canteen offering just two dishes, dinuguan (blood stew) and menudo (diced pork and liver stew).The barbeque came soon after.
Restaurant owners who make their fortune from the glories of the grill have a special formula that keeps the crowds coming. Countryside is no different. Its meat destined for the 'que is marinated and then basted with an entirely separate sauce that boasts of 16 secret ingredients – some say 12 – apparently, it's one of those ever-changing codes like those digital passwords that modify every minute. Took a decade to perfect too, I'm told. Whatever it is, it works. The sauce sticks to the meat, brushed on as it is and aided by the magic of charcoal and fire, offering barbeque that yields to bite. A shot of sweet first, then the pucker of pepper and vinegar and then sweet overshadows again. Obviously, it's impossible to stop at just a single stick.
I'm also a big fan of the binagoongan, yet another viand that rages for rice.
I also like the other stuff on sticks, especially the pork liempo (pig belly); on the menu it's called inihaw baboy on stick and it's unique to this eatery. Chopped up liempo pieces all perfectly-sized, are skewered and grilled. It tastes so much like charcoal probably because of the disproportionate amount of fat to meat but it's wonderful when dipped in my self-made condiment of finger chili, vinegar, and soy sauce. It also goes without saying that Countryside's selection of grilled innards is exceptional. I cut my lifespan short sating myself with sticks of chicken butt, isaw, and chicken liver. I'm told the chicken barbeque is much recommended but there's something else I come to Countryside for.
Countryside's caldereta: not a looker but a real king in flavor
Everyone knows that Countryside's caldereta is killer, and it isn't just because regular servings of it will, in fact, send one early to that dessert place in the sky. There was one time I took home several orders of this star dish. As the girl behind the counter used this huge ladle to fill up my equally huge plastic container, she proudly related (in Tagalog) how Countryside used "… real olive oil, pimientos, and green olives. That's why it's so good!"
Too good, really. Countryside's caldereta is so flavorful (malasa), it's in one's best interest to eat it with heaps of hot rice because to eat it as is makes the implosion of tastes on tongue almost too much to bear. A marvelous demonstration of the cook's patience and skill allows unprepossessing ingredients to take flight in a flurry of flavors sitting and simmering, setting then softening. To eat it is to have a moment of some description where tomato sauce reveals its piquant secret of beef seared in olive oil then stroked with liver spread and cheese. Sometimes the meat is tough but never so much that I swear I'll never come back.
All brown, all beautiful. Drinking from this 8oz softdrink bottle adds a retro touch to my meal.
Uncanny really, how it's possible to experience such fits of delicious delight in a restaurant where roaring motorcycles are the soundtrack, smoke is the perfume, and legs stick to seats because of sweat and plastic. But I like it. I should've come here in college even if my then-boyfriend was insistent he wouldn't take me here. No wonder I didn't marry him.

There are many reasons Californians don't vote. One of them has to do with voter registration. While 10 other states permit voters to register and vote on Election Day, California does not.
A bill making it through the legislature proposes to change all that. It looks like it has a good chance of becoming law, but it's controversial. Democrats have supported it, and Republicans oppose it.
Why? Both parties are operating on the assumption that the more people who vote, the better it will be for Democrats.
U.S. & World
Republicans oppose Election-Day registration by arguing many things, including that it may make it easier to commit fraud.
Democrats have countered by designing the bill to delay the enactment of Election-Day registration until a new online voter database -- long in the making but not done -- is in place so that fraud can be quickly detected.
The fraud concerns are overblown. The real question is: will Election Day registration increase the number of Californians who vote?
Right now, the state's voter participation number are low -- with only about 5 million of more than 23 million eligible Californians casting ballots in the elections that concluded June 5.
It's probably worth a try. California requires you to be registered to vote a couple weeks before Election Day to be able to vote in that election. The trouble is that people often don't pay attention to an election until close to Election Day. So permitting registration and voting on the same day makes sense if the goal is higher turnout.
Republicans also might want to rethink their opposition. Yes, in many places, having fewer people vote might help the party's chances. But in California reality is different.
The GOP trails the Democratic Party so badly in registration that Election-Day registration is one of the few ways that Republicans might level the playing field. An exciting candidate or ballot initiative, if designed and framed right by the Republicans, could drum up interest in the party at election time.
But to take advantage of that interest, the Republicans must get behind Election-Day registration.

Everyone talks about the Finns having crazy rally driving skills, but don't count out their linguistic siblings, the Estonians, just yet. Because they can make a BMW literally fly, and then just keep. on. going. Like it's nothing at all.
And I really am serious about the car's stubborn tenacity, and that of its race team. From the in-car view, you can see them just continue with the race, the co-driver keeping up with the notes, even though they just made a jump in an old BMW that would make Evel Knievel sit up.
Yeah, even though it only takes a few seconds, it feels like they have all the hangtime in the world to say "OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIII–."
Except, you know, in Estonian. (Estonian commenters feel free to chime in with a helpful translation.)
Sadly, it looks like the eager little BMW That Could just couldn't for much longer, as the team of Priit Koik and Alari-Uku Heldna were forced to retire from the Viru Rally soon after.
Even still, now you can say for certain that a BMW can take bigger jumps, and last longer, than a Ford SVT Raptor.

Vera Zvonareva has shoulder surgery
Two-time Grand Slam finalist Vera Zvonareva is recovering from shoulder surgery. (Facebook)
Vera Zvonareva had surgery on her right shoulder this week and won't return for several months.
The former No. 2, who was the Wimbledon and U.S. Open runner-up in 2010 and bronze medalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, began the 2012 season ranked seventh but never progressed past the quarterfinals in 10 tournaments. After struggling with the shoulder injury throughout the year, Zvonareva finally shut down her season following a 6-1, 6-0 loss to Serena Williams in the third round of the London Olympics.
Zvonareva posted the following message on her official website on Wednesday:
Hi my dear friends, fans and supporters! Hugs, Vera.
I know it had been a long time since I last gave you an update on my return to competition but I was waiting for a moment to be certain about it. I would like to inform you that yesterday I underwent a surgery on my shoulder. As you know, I have been away from competition since Olympics and also had to miss a part of the beginning of the season last year. I took my time to rehab and have done everything that was possible to avoid a surgery but at this point it felt like it was the best solution. So now I will do everything that is possible to get back to competition again as soon as possible but it could still take few months to be able to compete at highest level. You, guys, my fans, are keeping me motivated to achieve a goal of getting back to 100% and become even better.
I miss you a lot and hope to see you soon!

Leaked Press Image Reveals HTC Deluxe, May Hit International Markets
Leaked Press Image Reveals HTC Deluxe DLX, May Hit International Markets (Update)
*Update: GSMArena received several official photos which confirm that the phone will be available in three colors: black, white and brown. According to its source, the official name of the device is the HTC Deluxe DLX, and more information is expected to be revealed on December 6. Hit the source link below for more images.
Good news for consumers outside of the U.S and Japan - the HTC J Butterfly (Japan-specific model), otherwise known as the Droid DNA in the U.S, may soon hit international markets as the HTC Deluxe.
Tipster @evleaks posted an alleged press image of the HTC Deluxe on Twitter with the caption, "HTC Deluxe, global edition." @evleaks has proven itself to be accurate recently with the pre-released images of Nokia Lumia 920, Lumia 820 and the wireless charging accessory. Here's a quick recap of the specs of the HTC J Butterfly / Droid DNA:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 quad-core 1.5GHz processor
- 5.0-inch Super LCD 3 display / 1080 x 1920 pixels / 440ppi
- Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Sense 4+
- 16GB internal storage (no memory card slot)
- 8-megapixel rear autofocus camera
- 2020mAh battery
The main highlight of the device is its 5.0-inch Super LCD 3 display, which boasts an industry-leading pixel density of 440ppi. Current high-end smartphones have pixel densities ranging from 326ppi (iPhone 4/4S/5) to 342ppi (Windows Phone 8X by HTC).
While there is no information on the availability of the HTC Deluxe, we are expecting it to be launched in Q1 2013 since the company recently unveiled the One X+. The HTC Deluxe is likely to go head to head against the likes of the 5.5-inch Samsung GALAXY Note II, LG Optimus G, LG Nexus 4 and ASUS PadFone 2.

United have a proud record in the competition, having won it 11 times, more than any other club, and it was famously Sir Alex Ferguson's first trophy as United manager. Indeed, that replay win over Crystal Palace sparked a run of four triumphs in the competition within nine seasons.
However, the successes dried up after the Red Devils defeated Championship outfit Millwall at the Millennium Stadium in 2004. They have lost two finals and two semi-finals since. And Smalling said: "I was quite shocked at how long it has been since United won the FA Cup. It is a massive competition and one we all look forward to."
He added: "Before we played West Ham in the third round, the manager stressed how much we wanted to win this tournament. There are quite a lot of lads who haven't won it despite being here for quite a while."
With plenty of changes anticipated for the fifth-round tie against Reading at Old Trafford on Monday night, including the likelihood of a start for Smalling, from the team that drew with Real Madrid on Wednesday, the strength of Ferguson's squad is now becoming evident.
And, though the faces will change, there should be no lack of confidence given United are on a 15-match unbeaten run stretching back to a home loss to CFR Cluj in the Champions League two months ago.
"There is a lot of confidence and the results are showing," said Smalling. "We are going for three competitions, so there are plenty of matches for the whole squad to play in and we are peaking at the right time."
And Ferguson has made it clear he sees no reason why United cannot challenge for honours on all three fronts, and potentially emulate that historic 1999 Treble-winning campaign.
"The manager has stressed that he expects to go to the end in all three competitions," said Smalling. "The FA Cup is notoriously unpredictable. Luton reached the fifth round this year, which shows that anything can happen so there is no point looking too far ahead."
In addition to Smalling, 14-goal striker Javier Hernandez is a likely starter. Wide-men Ashley Young and Nani will also hope to be involved, while Tom Cleverley and Anderson should be chomping at the bit after also missing out on a starting berth at the Bernabeu.

Stegosauria are some of the most widely recognized dinosaurs in history. And the Volkswagen beetle is one of the most iconic vehicles ever made. Combine the two, throw in some extra scrap metal, and you've got yourself some of the most badass dinosaur art this side of the Cretaceous.
This sculpture featured up top hails from the Beautiful Days Festival in Devon, England, and was captured on film by photographer Mark Massey.
We can't find any mention of the artist responsible for the awesome stego-beetle itself, but we'd love to find out so we can give credit where credit is due! Update: The masterminds behind stego-beetle are Mutoid Waste Company (it even says so right there on stego's flank), the same people responsible for LRRY-1, the incredible, fire-breathing robo-dog.
It's always refreshing to see someone channeling their inner Calvin, finding dinosaur fossils in everyday objects:
Oh, who are we kidding... everyone knows even "real" dinosaur fossils are a scam.

England asks Hodgson to stay on despite exit
Recommended Video:
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- Roy Hodgson has been asked by the English Football Association to remain as head coach until 2016 despite the team being eliminated at the World Cup group stage for the first time since 1958.
England has opened the tournament in Brazil with losses to Italy and Uruguay, and its hopes of advancing from Group D ended when Italy lost 1-0 to Costa Rica on Friday.
At Hodgson's first tournament as coach, England reached the quarterfinals at the 2012 European Championship, and the FA wants him to see out contract until after Euro 2016.
"We're supportive of Roy Hodgson. We've asked him to stay as manager," FA chairman Greg Dyke said. "We do not see any value in changing. We think Roy has done a good job and it is an approach over four years and we hope to do better in the European Championships."
Dyke was satisfied with how England's youthful team performed.
"Everybody thought we played really well in the first game (against Italy) and narrowly lost," he said. "In the second game it could have gone either way. We were not humiliated or anything like that. They were narrow defeats, but it is for the football people, not for me to identify why we did not win."
England can't even make a rapid escape from Brazil, with a group game still to play against Costa Rica on Tuesday.
Hodgson insisted after Thursday's 2-1 loss to Uruguay that he would not walk away from the job.
"I'm bitterly disappointed, of course, but I don't feel I need to resign," the former Inter Milan, Liverpool and Switzerland coach said.
Since becoming FA chairman last year, Dyke has targeted the 2022 World Cup as the tournament when England should finally emulate its only success in 1966. An FA commission reported last month that measures must be taken to reduce the number of foreign players in Premier League teams and increase opportunities for homegrown players.
"I think there is a real chance that we can develop and win in 2022 -- that is the aim," Dyke said. "We know that we have a problem, that there are not as many English players playing in the Premier League, or even the Championship, now as there used to be.
"Therefore that is the choice that is left, but ... I don't think that is a cause for what has happened here."

Senior second baseman Christine Ramos was named Big West Co-Field Player of the Year and Krista Cobb earned Freshman Co-Pitcher of the Year honors it was announced on Tuesday afternoon by the conference. Three additional Gauchos also picked up all-conference nods – sophomore Katie McWhirter, junior Jessica Ziegler and senior Tiffany Wright.
Christine Ramos has been considered one of the top leadoff hitters in the Big West and the country and her senior season did nothing to dispel that notion. The native of Long Beach, Calif., led the Big West and set career-highs in hitting (.417) and base hits (75). Her batting average ranks 32nd in the NCAA and she is also one of the nation's toughest strikeouts victims as she only goes down on strikes .044 percent of the time, 21st on the national leaderboard.
Ramos also showed she's a threat on the basepaths with a league-leading 16 steals, while also adding 31 runs scored and 19 RBI. On the Big West career leaderboard, Ramos broke into the top-10 career hits list this season and finishes sixth with 258 base hits. Ramos is the Gaucho's second straight Field Player of the Year – Tiffany Wright earned the honor in 2008 – and the third straight UCSB player to claim one of the conference's major awards.
She ends her career as the Gauchos most prolific batter, leading the team in hits all of her seasons in the blue and gold, the first UCSB player to ever accomplish the feat. This season she set the school record for single season hits, career hits, single season batting average and career batting average (.364). She is tied third in the UCSB record books in career stolen bases (52), fourth in career runs (116) and career triples (6), second in career at-bats (709) and tied eighth in stolen bases in a season.
She shares the honor with Long Beach State's Jennifer Griffin. In addition to the player of the year honor, Ramos was also named to the All-Big West First Team for the third consecutive season. She has been an all-conference selection all four years, earning second team accolades as a freshman.
Krista Cobb earned Freshman Co-Pitcher of the Year honors after a stellar rookie campaign. The West Hills, Calif., native had one of the finest seasons by a pitcher in program history. She is tied for third on the league leaderboard in wins (18) – which ties the school record for single season victories – is eighth in innings pitched (148.2), sixth in ERA (1.93) and strikeouts (115) and is tops in opponent batting average (.204). Cobb is the winningest freshman in Gaucho history and shut out nine foes this year, four of them coming in conference action.
She also earned Big West Pitcher of the Week honors on four occasions during the season and posted the first-ever perfect game in program history against Wagner during her first collegiate start. She shares Freshman Pitcher of the Year honors with Long Beach State's Taylor Petty. Cobb earned All-Big West First Team honors in addition to her pitcher of the year nod.
Joining Ramos and Cobb on the All-Big West First Team is sophomore designated player, Katie McWhirter. The Monrovia, Calif. native batted .287 on the season and was third on the team with a .300 average in Big West games. She tallied nine runs, two doubles, eight RBI and had a .340 on-base percentage. She had four multiple-hit showings in conference games, and went 6-for-10 in the three-game series against league champions Cal Poly. This is the first career honor for McWhirter.
Tiffany Wright earned her third career All-Big West honor, as she was named to the league's second team. The senior outfielder batted .263 on the season and led the Big West in runs scored with 35. She ranked third on the conference leaderboard in RBI (38), fifth in home runs (7) and ninth in total bases (72).
She finished her career ranked seventh on the Big West's all-time home runs top-10 list with her UCSB career record of 30 homers. She ranks third in the Gaucho record books in career runs (117) and in career RBI (124), fourth in career doubles (34) and fifth for career hits (189) and at-bats (649). Her .291 career batting average ranks eighth all-time in UCSB history.
Rounding out the list of All-Big West honorees is junior first baseman, Jessica Ziegler. The honor marks the second league accolade for the San Diego, Calif. native, she earned an honorable mention nod in 2008. This season, Ziegler batted a career-high .335, ranking second on the team and eighth in the Big West. She was second only to Ramos for hits this season with 60, ranked fourth with 10 sacrifice bunts and was seventh with nine stolen bases.
The junior finished the season with a .997 fielding percentage, ranking seventh in the conference. She was fifth overall in both chances (348) and putouts (199).
The Gauchos finished the 2009 season with a 26-25 record, marking the program's seventh consecutive winning season. UCSB finished conference play with a 9-12 mark, tying Cal State Northridge for fourth place.

Maksim stepped in to help the model learn her routines earlier in the week after her professional partner, Derek Hough, became ill with what he suspects is the flu. But, Joanna added, Maks' appearance on Monday's show isn't certain.

"Maybe I should have kept my shirt on," he wrote.
And it's not just Derek who is sick.

Just hours ago, Governor Rick Scott (shown) of Florida signed into law the Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act, a measure strictly regulating the use of drones by law enforcement in the Sunshine State, according to a report filed by the Miami Herald.
Governor's Scott's signature comes just one week after the bill – SB 92 – was approved unanimously by the state House of Representatives. The state Senate had passed the bill unanimously just a week before the House.
Although the governor's office had released no comment on the signing as of press time, an earlier statement telegraphed his intention to support the bill: "This law will ensure that the rights of Florida families are protected from the unwarranted use of drones and other unmanned aircraft," Scott said.
Specifically, the new law forbids federal agents "from using a drone to gather evidence or other information" on citizens of Florida. Should a state citizen be the target of an unlawful search and seizure in violation of this bill, he or she would be authorized "to initiate a civil action in order to prevent or remedy" that violation.
As The New American reported earlier, the language of the law is not perfect. Section 4(a) of the bill carves out a dangerous exception to its otherwise commendable constitutional protections.
Section 4(a) authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to launch a drone over Florida (and seemingly violate the Fourth Amendment's protection of "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures") "to counter a high risk of a terrorist attack by a specific individual or organization."
That is an enormous loophole, one just large enough for a Hellfire missile. Such an occurrence is not unthinkable in this era when the United States has been declared a battleground and Congress has given the president the power to indefinitely detain any American he believes to be aiding enemies of the state. Ostensibly, drones would be the perfect tool to accomplish such round-up of potential prisoners. (See, for example, the comments made by Senator Lindsey Graham [R-S.C.] regarding the search for the suspected Boston marathon bomber.)
With his signature, Governor Scott joins his fellow executives in Idaho and Virginia in enacting a state law restricting the use of drones in the targeting and tracking of individuals and attempting to protect the "right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures'" as guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment.
The need for such state efforts to shore up this basic right is urgent.
While the sight of drones over U.S. cities and towns is rare right now, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) predicts that by 2020, 30,000 of these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) will be patrolling American airspace. Scores of these UAVs will be deployed by state and local law enforcement, adding to the many that will be sent airborne by the federal government.
With the rise of the drones comes the rise of several critical questions of constitutionality of their potential uses. One of the most crucial of those inquiries concerns the application of the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against "unlawful searches and seizures" and the requirement that warrants be supported by affidavits "particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
In addition to the efforts of state governments, there are federal lawmakers joining the fight to preserve the Fourth Amendment, as well.
Last June, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) introduced a bill to "protect individual privacy against unwarranted governmental intrusion through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles commonly called drones."
Paul's bill mandates:
A person or entity acting under the authority [of], or funded in whole or in part by, the Government of the United States shall not use a drone to gather evidence or other information pertaining to criminal conduct or conduct in violation of a statute or regulation except to the extent authorized in a warrant that satisfies the requirements of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Senator Paul explained, "Americans going about their everyday lives should not be treated like criminals or terrorists and have their rights infringed upon by military tactics."
Although we rightly castigate elected officials when they violate the Constitution, we should likewise recognize their praiseworthy efforts to safeguard our most basic and cherished civil liberties.
Accordingly, citizens of Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, Montana, and Tennessee are encouraged to contact their elected state representatives to demand their support for bills currently pending in those states. One or more of the houses of the state legislature in those states have passed measures aimed at prohibiting law enforcement from using drones to violate those rights protected by the Fourth Amendment.

Charles Woodson to be released by Green Bay Packers after seven seasons
Though still a capable pass defender, Charles Woodson's contract was a luxury the Packers chose not to afford. (Damian Strohmeyer/SI)
Charles Woodson won a Super Bowl, a Defensive Player of the Year and was named to four Pro Bowl teams during his seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers. His bulky contract and declining skills, though, made Friday's news that the Packers were set to release Woodson come as little surprise. Woodson was due to make $6.5 million in base salary in 2013, with close to $3 million more available in bonuses. Those numbers proved too hefty for Green Bay to commit to a 37-year-old defensive back, who struggled to produce when he was on the field last season.
News of Green Bay's decision actually broke first via the official Twitter account of Woodson's winery, Twenty Four Wines, which tweeted: "Thank you Green Bay it was a great run!"
Woodson's agent, Carl Poston, later confirmed to the NFL Network's Ian Rapaport that the release was coming, adding, "It's part of the business." Also according to Rapaport, Poston said that his client does not plan to retire and would "like to go play for a contender, win another Super Bowl."
That desire likely narrows down the list of teams Woodson would consider. But is there still a market for Woodson out there?
The Packers moved Woodson to safety for the 2012 season, a nod to both the team's improved depth at cornerback (thanks mostly to rookie Casey Hayward) and Woodson's diminishing coverage ability. He still managed to pick off a league-leading seven passes in 2011, but he was a bit of a boom-or-bust player.
Green Bay hoped moving Woodson to safety would allow him to utilize his ball-hawking abilities, alongside an occasional blitz. During seven regular-season games, however, he managed just one pick and 1.5 sacks. Pro Football Focus graded him out as the 37th-best safety in the league in 2012.
Woodson originally signed with Green Bay back in 2006, after eight up-and-down seasons in Oakland. Because of his success with the Packers, it's possible that the two sides will try to reach a more financially sensible deal to keep Woodson around, but the safer bet is that Green Bay opts to go with a younger option like M.D. Jennings at strong safety.
Woodson, meanwhile, ought to find several interested teams, even this late in his career. The Patriots may be in the market for some veteran safety help; as could the 49ers, who suffered from dismal safety play during their Super Bowl loss to the Ravens. Atlanta also stands to lose its starting strong safety, William Moore, in free agency -- Cincinnati, Detroit, Minnesota, the Jets, St. Louis are in a similar boat.
Of course, any team that signs Woodson would have the option to return him to his natural spot at cornerback. Woodson had 37 interceptions while playing that position for six seasons in Green Bay.
The Packers reportedly started the offseason about $7 million under 2013's projected salary cap. Cutting Woodson obviously gives Green Bay even more wiggle room with which to hit the market.

A Manhattan Supreme Court Justice has refused to dismiss a sexual harassment lawsuit against Brett Favre, filed last year by two former Jets massage therapists. This means that at the very least, Favre will have to testify under oath—-something he never did during the NFL's investigation into his interactions with Jenn Sterger.
The two women, Christine Scavo and Shannon O'Toole, told Deadspin that Favre ogled them in the massage room, and later sent them inappropriate and unwanted text messages. "Brett here, you and Crissy want to get together, I'm all alone," read one text, according their lawsuit, which is embedded below. Another: "Kinda lonely tonight, I guess I have bad intentions."
Also named in the lawsuit are the New York Jets, for fostering "a hotbed of sexual harassment, sexism and inappropriate behavior," as well as Lisa Ripi, the Jets' "muscle" who discouraged the women from taking their complaints to HR.
