OXFORD – Dick Scruggs awaits what he calls "the gun lap" – his final stint in federal prison.
Reviled by many as the kingpin of Mississippi's most notorious legal scandal six years ago, he says he's found a new life from the darkness of shame and drug abuse.
Sixty-six-year-old Scruggs spoke with the Daily Journal, his first news media interview since his November 2007 arrest on federal charges he conspired to bribe Circuit Judge Henry L. Lackey of Calhoun City, who presided over a legal-fees lawsuit against Scruggs and others.
Seated on the rear patio of his beautifully appointed Oxford home, he seemed comfortable talking about his life since his two bribery convictions, although he said he "wasn't ready yet" to go over their details.
The cases gained international headlines because of Scruggs' role as lead attorney in gaining huge financial settlements from tobacco and asbestos companies, which Scruggs and associates sued on behalf of injured clients. A movie, "The Insider," was made about the whistleblower in the tobacco case.
Scruggs remains free on a $2 million bond until Monday, when he voluntarily re-enters Federal Camp Montgomery in Alabama to complete his sentence handed down for his 2009 guilty plea in a scheme to bribe then-Hinds Circuit Judge Bobby DeLaughter, who presided over another lawsuit against Scruggs and others.
Bail was granted in late 2012 while his DeLaughter conviction appeal went to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. It was rejected recently, but he says he will continue until he runs out of options. His Lackey case sentence ended in late fall without appeal.
The University of Mississippi graduate and former Navy pilot, disbarred for his convictions, talked with the Daily Journal about a wide range of subjects:
• What federal prison is like.
• What he "craved" during his first five years of incarceration.
• His reaction to Oxford journalist Curtis Wilkie's book about his life and fall from grace.
• His fears about coming home.
• His greatest regret.
• What he plans to do when he's finally released in spring 2014.
Love him or hate him, Dick Scruggs has a charming, breezy social personality that draws you in to listen to what he has to say.
His days are done as one of the country's aggressive plaintiffs' attorneys – derisively called "trial lawyers," whose generic reputations continue to suffer because of the bribery scandals.
These days, with light finally in the tunnel, he speaks optimistically about going back to prison and how his life has changed since he fell from the top of the heap.
He jokes about the characters he's met in federal custody and how their friendships helped him through what he terms difficult, early years adjusting to life as an inmate after a world of privilege from jet planes, island retreats and elite company to his sumptuous home nestled in fabled Faulkner Woods behind the Nobel laureate's home, now a museum.
The former Ole Miss Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who chose "Zeus" as his nickname, heaps his most ardent praise upon his wife, Diane, who he says held their world together through it all, despite her own physical and emotional trials.
"Diane has been the stalwart of this family," he said just out of her earshot, although he told her later what he'd said.
Scruggs sounds a bit amazed that after his wife reached some equilibrium with a serious health problem, "that lady went out and held her head high… she stayed involved, made new friends and she showed no bitterness toward anybody" after his arrest, indictments and convictions.
Not that he was surprised, he said, "but she'd never been tested like that before."
"All this agony of her husband and son going to prison – it was brutal."
Their son, Zach, pleaded guilty to knowing about but not reporting a felony in the Lackey affair, although he maintains he never knew anything about the bribery scheme. He spent 14 months in prison, was disbarred and missed the birth of one of his children.
As 2013 began, 38-year-old Zach and his family moved from Oxford to Florida, where he works in the solar power industry.
Asked about his deepest regret, Dick Scruggs was quick to say, "… not seeing this coming, and having my son caught in it when he wasn't" part of the Lackey scheme.
• • •
About 8 a.m. Dec. 12, 2012, Diane Scruggs retrieved her husband from Federal Camp Montgomery to bring him home on his federal bail.
"I'd been craving an Egg McMuffin for five years," he admits. "We went to McDonald's and I ate two."
He also admits he gained 20 pounds on prison food across the four-plus years and felt the obvious restrictions of his old clothes as he changed in the restroom.
Prison food? "It's about like bad school cafeteria food," he explains.
He recalls his first day, when the formerly confident former lawyer joined the prison population in the main federal facility in Ashland, Ky.
"I was terrified," he says, especially since he thought he'd be assigned to the low-security "camp" with its dormitory style living, only to be told he was headed for "The Big House" across the way. He also was told it would be his home for 18 months and, later, he figured out that authorities deemed him a flight risk because of his financial resources and a home outside the U.S.
Scruggs laughed when he recalled Ashland's cafeteria, where he ate his first prison meal. "Remember the famous Cantina scene in the movie 'Star Wars'?" he says, comparing it to Ashland. "Those were some tough-looking guys – tats, ponytails, eyes missing."
Curiously, Scruggs said that because he was a neatly dressed, older white guy, his fellow inmates assumed he was a child molester, hardly a favored status in any jail situation.
Three days later, he was asked if he'd been jailed for a sex crime. When he said no, he was asked to prove it because sex offenders weren't allowed into the TV room.
A curious inmate came back to him a few days later to report that the prison's top inmate, a well-read man, learned about Scruggs' Ashland destination in the Wall Street Journal and informed everybody else that he was "good."
Scruggs said his roommate, serving a 26-year term for drugs, told him he was glad to know Scruggs was a "legitimate criminal."
He spent much of his sentence in Ashland, but when his presence was required in Mississippi for court hearings, he experienced the prison system's transit process on buses and planes through Oklahoma City and Atlanta.
While he said Oklahoma City's prison wasn't too bad, the worst was Atlanta – notoriously where Chicago mobster Al Capone spent some time.
Atlanta was "a hell hole" of filth, noise and 23-hour-per-day lockup where only the orderlies had any freedom because they were responsible for food delivery and cleanup, such as it was, Scruggs says.
After a week in solitary, Scruggs said he used postage stamps – prison currency – to bribe his way out to be an orderly.
"I was in there for bribery. I might as well bribe somebody," he joked, slightly wrinkling the facial scars mending from recent skin-lesion surgeries.
Rats and roaches were everywhere, he says about the Atlanta "nightmare" where sensory deprivation was the rule. He learned to calculate time by watching the Atlanta airport flight path and one specific plane that flew in daily about 4 p.m., he estimated. An hour later, they'd go to supper.
In Atlanta headed for Ashland, his cellmate was a pimp, who Scruggs said told some very funny stories.
Humor gets you through a lot, he assessed.
When they returned to Ashland, for five days they were quarantined for bird flu in a facility called "The Hole," in the movies a hellish place usually for disciplinary problems.
After that dark confinement, getting a shower and walking into the sunshine in the prison yard, Scruggs said, "I could not have been happier. On a scale of 10, it was a 10."
He also was back to a routine and inmates he knew.
During this time, the Bureau of Prisons rejected his request to transfer to a prison camp at Forrest City, Ark., but days later he learned the Ashland warden was displeased with the decision and didn't need BOP approval to move him to the Ashland camp.
It was July 2009, 11 months after he'd entered the system.
• • •
Ashland camp was the opposite of "The Hole" in Atlanta. It was clean and freedom, while relative, was the norm. Inmates could walk around inside the camp and live with some privacy in a large dormitory with two-man cubicles.
Scruggs' first job was in the prison's small law library doing what's called "jailhouse lawyer" work on inmates' appeals.
He speaks fondly and with some pride that he helped three fellow inmates get their convictions overturned. "I felt good about that," he says, noting he began to learn criminal law, which was new for a man who'd spent most of his legal career in civil litigation.
Inmates undertake their own legal appeals as a way to pass the time, but also "to keep their hope up," Scruggs says.
"I felt that myself," he remembers.
Then he got permission to teach, first the history of the American wars. He says he learned a lot doing that.
As some teaching prisoners leave the system, openings occur in the teacher corps for the G.E.D., the high school graduation equivalency test. Scruggs got involved by teaching basic math up through high school geometry.
Through it all, Diane Scruggs visited him every weekend. Dick Scruggs expressed appreciation to his former colleague and Jackson attorney, David Nutt, who sent his plane to ferry her across those three years.
By this time, former Booneville attorney Joey Langston was released from the Montgomery facility, where he'd served his three-year sentence in the DeLaughter case.
Scruggs says he'd asked to transfer to Montgomery, but it hadn't been possible until Langston was free. A month later, he began the transit to Alabama, a facility he terms "the nicest of all."
Possibly because it's on the Maxwell Air Force Base, Scruggs speculates that military customs influence its operation – clean, organized, well-managed and well-run.
At Montgomery, Scruggs began to tutor other inmates and by June 2011 earned his way into a G.E.D. teaching slot.
He also says he read a lot, and every night back in his cell, he'd make himself a cup of coffee – Taster's Choice Instant – put it under his bunk, then wake at 4 a.m., drink the coffee and listen to National Public Radio. Up by 5:30, he'd shower, eat breakfast and go to work.
• • •
That early morning coffee was about as chemically stimulating as it got, Scruggs recalls, making reference to a long-time love affair with a painkiller taken for back troubles years ago. When Scruggs was sentenced to prison in mid-2008, Senior U.S. District Judge Neal B. Biggers Jr. added a stipulation that he be assigned to a facility with a drug treatment program.
Throughout Scruggs' prosecution, it was obvious to anyone who stared that he had a detached expression, and now, Scruggs admits the barbituate gets the blame.
He terms his two-month withdrawal from the drug "terrible," but said one day he realized that he finally felt good.
"I'm never again doing that," he adds. "I feel very different now."
• • •
Perhaps one of his lowest emotional points came after Oxford journalist and Scruggs friend Curtis Wilkie penned "The Fall of the House of Zeus" about Scruggs' life and fall from grace.
"Every embarrassing detail of my life was out there," he recalls. "I was devastated – devastated – by the book. I don't know what I expected, but I was crushed."
Its content, in hindsight, he terms "a vicious truth," to quote a well respected, long ago Southern judge.
He says he couldn't read much of the book at one sitting because it was so personally upsetting.
Then, one morning, something changed.
"I said to myself, 'This is kind of liberating. Anybody who deals with me from here on out must be OK.'
"I had nothing to hide. My life was stripped bare."
He says he began to look at the book anew, that although Wilkie figuratively had taken a wire brush to everyone in the story, "I was still standing."
The words of Rhett Butler, the manly protagonist in "Gone With the Wind," come to him now, recalling the former Yankee privateer's lack of concern about what others thought of him "because he had no reputation to lose."
"I felt very much the same way," Scruggs says. "I still care what other people think, but I didn't lost my money or my wife. I was OK."
• • •
Still, coming home with Diane on Dec. 12, 2012, the once bigger-than-life litigator and philanthropist wondered how his Oxford home-folks and others would react.
"You would have thought I was an astronaut coming back from the moon," Scruggs remembers of the joyous homecoming.
His impending prison re-entry has put a small crimp on some big plans, but they're proceeding regardless.
After his prison GED experience, Scruggs says he realized on a personal level how the lack of a high school diploma held so many people back. When he came to know that the GED. program will change drastically in 2014, he knew it was important for Mississippians who have completed large parts of the program to complete it by year's end.
He's working with the Mississippi Board of Community and Junior Colleges' Adult Education Division to identify 1,000 people who need the $70 fee to take the test. He and friends will raise the money to fund it.
"Then, when I get out, I will get back into this in a bigger way," he says about helping many more people earn their high school diplomas.
That achievement, he insists, can inspire people, who years ago dropped out, to realize how important their education is to securing good jobs.
"It signifies that you are determined enough to raise yourself up," he says of the attainment. "And it's certainly not as expensive as sending somebody back to high school.
"This will be my calling."
And so on Monday, Richard F. "Dick" Scruggs will head back to Federal Camp Montgomery to resume teaching with a renewed spirit despite the 5th Circuit's initial rejection of his appeal.
His five months of freedom, he says, have been "very moving and inspiring."
"Now, it's time for me to get back there for the gun lap and get it over."

OXFORD – The city of Oxford will use a recently awarded competitive federal grant to upgrade two of its emergency response capabilities.
Emergency Management Coordinator Jimmy Allgood said part of the $7,000 grant will fund a program to provide highly visible house numbers for disadvantaged residents who lack them.
"Phase 1 was to identify handicapped, elderly and low-income residents whose houses are not numbered or not numbered with appropriately visible numbers," Allgood said. The grant will pay to advertise the project to potential applicants and to purchase the signage, he said, and volunteers ranging from Medical Reserve Corps members to individuals who sign up through Volunteer Oxford will install the numbers. Identification of qualifying residents will likely begin in early March, he added.
Another portion of the grant will equip portable cooling and warming centers for use on emergency and disaster sites.
"There's a need in emergency or disaster for the general public, fire crews, public works crews to have a place to get a break from the elements and warm up or cool down for a while, depending on the time of year," Allgood said. "A good example is last fall when we had a major sewer line break. We had public works crews on the scene for several days when the heat index was around 110 degrees."
The city already has a couple of canopies similar to those popular with tailgating football fans for shade and fans, but the additional units will include forced-air propane heaters and electric misting fans, depending on the season.
"Cooling is done with a misting fan – basically a 10- or 20-gallon cooler filled with ice water, where the pump creates a fine mist," Allgood said. "On average it'll drop the ambient temperature in the tent about 25 degrees."
The warming and cooling stations will be largely to give short breaks from the weather to victims and workers on an emergency site. Allgood said he hopes to have them equipped within the next several weeks.
"They're not for long-term, but it provides us another piece of the puzzle where we can get some temporary relief in place," Allgood said. "They'll be great when we have major water line breaks or sewer breaks or a big fire scene or even special events. If it's extremely hot for Double Decker Festival, we'll have them there."

Your doctor and/or nurse will probably:
1. Check your baby's weight, length, and head circumference and plot the measurements on the growth charts.
2. Administer a screening (test) that helps with the early identification of developmental delays.
3. Ask questions, address concerns, and offer advice about how your baby is:
Eating. Your baby should be eating a variety of baby foods, in addition to regular feedings of breast milk or formula. Your baby can probably drink from a cup and may try to self-feed with his or her fingers.
Peeing and pooping. You may notice a change in the color and consistency your baby's poopy diapers as you introduce new foods. Tell your doctor if your baby has diarrhea or has stools that are hard, dry, or difficult to pass.
Sleeping. The average amount of daily sleep is about 14 hours. Your baby is probably still taking two naps a day — one in the morning and another sometime after lunch — but every baby is different. Waking at night is common at this age.
Developing (milestones). By 9 months, it's common for many babies to:
There's a wide range of normal, and children develop at different rates. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about your child's development.
4. Perform a physical exam with your baby undressed while you are present. This will include an eye exam, listening to your baby's heart and feeling pulses, checking hips, and paying attention to your baby's movements.
5. Update immunizations. Immunizations can protect babies from serious childhood illnesses, so it's important that your child receive them on time. Immunization schedules can vary from office to office, so talk to your doctor about what to expect
6. Order a blood test. Your doctor may check for lead exposure or anemia.
Here are some things to keep in mind until your next routine visit at 12 months:
These checkup sheets are consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/Bright Futures guidelines.

Spectrum Plastics adds multi-shot pressComments Email Print
MINNEAPOLIS (Oct. 31, 11:40 a.m. ET) — Minneapolis injection molder Spectrum Plastics Group has added a new 240-ton Arburg multi-shot molding machine.
The machine's L-configuration, combined with a rotary platen, will allow for both parting line injection and full robotics, according to the company.
Doug Johnson, general manager of Spectrum's Minnesota division, said the company already has experience with multi-shot molding, including insert molding, lead frame over-molding, small part insert molding, and multiple durometer silicones and elastomers.
He called the new press "a natural enhancement to this already well-established host of capabilities," in a news release.
Spectrum is majority owned by private equity firm Spell Capital Partners LLC.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Digital Video
New Yorkers: Worried about whether you will have a right to watch local TV broadcasts on your Internet devices? Aereo is a company that lets users watch their local channels by renting a dime-sized antenna at Aereo's facility - one per customer. The signal from that antenna gets sent over the Internet to a single user. In effect, the company moves the "rabbit ears" antenna from the top of your TV set to a central facility. Aereo, like the VCR, the DVR, and many other video technologies, simply lets people watch the TV shows they already have a legal right to watch at different places and times, and on different devices. And just like they did with many of those technologies, copyright owners are suing to shut it down.
At the beginning of this year EFF identified a dozen important trends in law, technology and business that we thought would play a significant role in shaping digital rights in 2010, with a promise to revisit our predictions at the end of the year. Now, as 2010 comes to a close, we're going through each of our predictions one by one to see how accurate we were in our trend-spotting. Today, we're looking back on Trend #7, On-line Video, where we predicted:
Like the print business, the television business is being radically disrupted by the Internet. The disparate and powerful industries affected — telco, cable, satellite, ISP, software, and production — are engaged in a battle for dominance. But as big business dukes it out, consumer rights risk being left behind. [...]
As we've pointed out repeatedly, poor design decisions in YouTube's "Content ID" system have resulted in over-blocking of videos that remix copyrighted materials. Today we got perhaps the most vivid example of the problem: the "silencing" of a lecture by Prof. Larry Lessig about the cultural importance of remix creativity. This is just the latest of many examples. We've been on YouTube's case for more than two years about this problem, and it's high time for YouTube to fix the Content ID system to respect the kinds of fair uses that are at the heart of remix creativity.
It's the dawn of a new year. From our perch on the frontier of electronic civil liberties, EFF has collected a list of a dozen important trends in law, technology and business that we think will play a significant role in shaping online rights in 2010.
In December, we'll revisit this post and see how it all worked out.
1. Attacks on Cryptography: New Avenues for Intercepting Communications
In 2010, several problems with cryptography implementations should come to the fore, showing that even encrypted communications aren't as safe as users expect. Two of the most significant problems we expect concern cellphone security and web browser security.
I've published an op-ed over at The Wrap, a leading blog for Hollywood insiders. It makes the point that Hollywood's attacks on DVD innovators (RealDVD, Kaleidescape, Redbox) amount to an attack on legitimate DVD customers who are trying to pay for content that they could almost as easily download for free from unauthorized sources. So, when Hollywood complains about "piracy," some of that is a self-inflicted wound:

Arnold Stang just passed away. While most of you guys probably don't know him by name, I'm certain we've all seen him act in something over the years.

Eminem died today in a car accident.
On Christmas, that sucks. Early reports are that he was distracted while talking on a cell phone.
R.I.P. Marshall Mathers A.K.A. Eminem.
Nevermind...urban legend
May the force be with you.
On a more serious (and, eerily similar) note, Vic Chesnutt died yesterday, and he'd been paralyzed in a car crash years ago.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Chesnutt's, but, at the risk of sounding soulless, I would've preferred it be that talentless waste of protoplasm Eminem.
That's my jacket!
I don't really hate him, exactly... I just find him really annoying, and it bugs me that he gets so much praise heaped on him for his mediocre music simply because his skin is white. If he didn't have that going for him, his first album would've sold six copies and he'd be working at McDonald's right now. His beats are good, but Dr Dre is one of the best hip-hop producers out there, and I can hear his work with better rhymes on other albums.
As far as white rappers go, I honestly think Vanilla Ice is better, and I think Vanilla Ice is just about as ridiculous as you can get. But at least "Ice Ice Baby" happens to be really catchy in its stupidity.
That's my jacket!
Well, you are right about Dre of course.
I rather enjoyed "Encore" though. It mostly makes me laugh, I liken Eminem to "Weird Al" or perhaps "Me First and the Gimme Gimmes", more like comic relief than serious music.
May the force be with you.
2009 passed away last night as people watched and cheered. What a bunch of barbarians.
My sneakers passed away a couple of weeks ago, but like Norman Bates inability to part with his dead mother, I have been unable to part with these shoes. I did however pick up a new pair today.
I wore these shoes for 15 months in Afghanistan, whenever I wasn't wearing my combat boots.
May the force be with you.

How do you order DM tests for puppies without individually registering them first?
Last time I DM tested a litter of puppies I registered them all, which was expensive and meant the buyers had to submit name changes. I get the impression you can do it without registering. For anyone who has tested a litter without registering and naming all of the puppies, how did you do it? Specifically, what did you put on the online form to order the test?
I have a litter and expect clear and carriers.

Four more valedictories
First is Rajen Prasad:
I have been entrusted with the roles like New Zealand's Race Relations Conciliator, Human Rights Commissioner, adjudicator in immigration cases, and * Chief Families Commissioner. But nothing prepares you for your life as a politician. In the eyes of many, I became useless, self-interested, untrustworthy, and just a bloody politician overnight. Such is the contempt in which we are held, but that reputation is neither accurate nor deserved. I have the utmost respect for all my parliamentary colleagues across the House. I have never worked with a more hard-working group of individuals dedicated to providing 24/7 for the nation and for their constituents.
A nice reminder that most MPs are very hard working and dedicated people. Yes there are some bad eggs, but they are the minority.
I have been asked to speak directly to Mrs Macindoe of Hamilton, Tim's mother, who wants to know why I am always mean towards her son when debating in the House. Tim has been unable to convince her otherwise. Mrs Macindoe, I am speaking to you. I count your son as a friend, and we have travelled together through China and Mongolia with our partners. Tim is a perfect gentleman and on every occasion outside this House we act as friends and we always inquire about each other's health. It is the nature of life in this Chamber to debate vigorously when our values lead to different policy prescriptions, but we remain civil, we remain supportive, we remain friends, and I count you as one of them and, through you, everybody else.
Nicely said.
I want to make a few comments about ethnic affairs and immigration. But first I want to acknowledge the current ethnic members of this Parliament: Raymond Huo, Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi, Melissa Lee, and Jian Yang. Although we come from different sides of the House, we collectively understand ethnic issues and the demands of our communities. However, I wonder whether the nature of these demands is fully understood in the various courts of this Parliament. There are 500,000 members of ethnic communities in New Zealand, and this is our constituency. These communities have come to see ethnic MPs as their link to our formal systems. In addition, they have a not unreasonable expectation that we will be their advocates, their advisers, and their champions. We are required to be present at all their major events and functions, to speak at all of them, to act like their electorate MPs. So for ethnic MPs the country becomes our electorate and there is no end to the constituency matters that we have to deal with.
Sadly Labour may end up with no Asian MPs after the election. Hell they may end up with no List MPs at all!
I have seen a suggestion that all MPs should prepare an individual annual report on what work we have done as a way of informing our people. This is a sensible idea and could be useful in reaching over the media to inform people more widely. Instead, what is reported is how many press statements we put out, how many Official Information Act requests we lodge, or how many questions for written answer we ask. These have become the measuring stick, never mind the fact that most of them are never published, and that many are binned immediately after they have been received.
Hmmn, I think he is referring my league tables. The trick is to get them published, and if you never put any out – well …
DARIEN FENTON (Labour): Tēnā koe, Mr Assistant Speaker, ngā mihi nui, kia koutou, tēnā koutou katoa. I want to first of all acknowledge my buddy Rajen Prasad, and tell him that I have still got the photos from our trip to Taiwan and that I am planning to divulge them before I leave. I also want to acknowledge you, Mr Assistant Speaker, because you will make your valedictory next week, and I am also looking forward to that, and it has been a pleasure working with you. I want to acknowledge all members of Parliament whom I have served with, and I do so without rancour or criticism, because much to my surprise, over nearly 9 years in Parliament, I have found that despite furious debate about political difference, most MPs come here with sincere intent.
It's a pity we only get reminded of this as valedictories.
I know that some people think I was born a devil beast trade unionist, but my apprenticeship to the labour movement in this Parliament was forged in many different experiences and some very tough jobs. I grew up in a family where war and politics cast a long shadow. My grandfather Frederick Frost fought and was injured in Somme* in the First World War*. . That man started his first job at the age of 12 as a pit boy in a Northumberland mine. So if I am a bit rough around the edges, I think you probably get it now. He was elected the Labour MP for New Plymouth in the wartime Labour Government led by Michael Joseph Savage* and then Peter Fraser*. . My father Verdun Frost was a navigator in World War II* and patrolled the Pacific. Like his father he was a declared socialist. My mother, the very staunch and Catholic Patricia Mary Te Rata Mahuta Kerr, came from an ancestry of Irish rebels. She was very stroppy. I was scared of her. Tau Henare descends from that line, so you kind of know what I mean. You cannot help your relatives. My parents instilled in their two sons and two daughters the hope of a better and fairer life for all in New Zealand. My generation profited from their sacrifice and hard work. Early Labour Governments meant that I, along with John Key, grew up in a State house and benefited from State-funded health and education. That gave me choices that younger people do not have today. I had the freedom and security to be different and to challenge. With my troublemaking heritage, it was inevitable that I would be drawn to the anti-war nuclear movements and the remote hippy generation of the 1970s. It led me on a journey that was both good and bad. I dropped out of education. I had a range of interesting and boring jobs. I travelled through dangerous countries, and I did some silly things. Some will have read the story of my drug addiction, when I was a younger person in the 1970s. Despite treatment and recovery years ago, I reluctantly agreed for my story to be published this year. It is still such a taboo topic, so hard to talk about. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I blame no one but myself for my mistakes, and I have made plenty. Drug-taking was a means of defiance against the establishment and seemed cool at the time. I know that the threat of law-breaking or addiction did not stop me, and the opprobrium of society made no difference. I want to say that smoking a joint did not lead me to other drugs; criminals selling drugs did. That is why I believe that the war on drugs has been a total failure. That is why I think it is time for this Parliament to treat drug abuse as a health problem, not a criminal offence—that means properly funded addiction treatment. I also believe it is time for politicians in this House to decriminalise personal marijuana use and take the crooks out of the business.
A very interesting background, and I agree with her on drugs.
Hon Dr PITA SHARPLES (Minister of Māori Affairs):
I will just tell you straight that I go up and down the country talking to my people and I say to you—and I will say it again now—that Parliament is a Westminster system that is all about the vote. If you are able to secure the vote you are able to secure change and progress for you and your party. It is not just how loud you protest outside is or the issues you bring up; this is about sitting at the table. You have got to be at the table. That is why parties go to extraordinary lengths to try to do deals and be at the table and so on, and that is great—that is the system. But just know that that is the system. I really feel strongly that there should be programmes introduced in schools. This is what we did with * Te Reo Māori. It was slipping away—gone burger. Then, suddenly, we brought in * kōhanga reo and started teaching the little ones. Now they are reading the news in Māori. Now they are working for companies. Now they have got their own companies, kōrero Māori ana. And it works. So what about if we had some lessons in schools about our system of Government: what it is, what you do there, how you make laws and you get rewards and things for your people?
If you're not at the table, then you're just a series of press releases.
Well, you think you know your Prime Minister. I am going to just give you the real Prime Minister. You are a strong, forceful leader, albeit with a strange sense of humour.
Very strange 🙂
I have got a lot of * mokopuna. They are all here—downstairs, I guess. I have got one great mokopuna. He is 1 now, and his name is Kanohi Tanga Utu Kanohi Tū Hanga. I want to speak to him now. E moko, in 30 years you can become the new co-leader of the Māori Party. You will have more than 20 Māori caucus members and be deciding which ones should be in the House of Representatives—in Parliament—and which ones should be in the "Upper Treaty Senate", which, 30 years ago, began with our constitutional review. Moko, in 30 years' time you will be dealing with a * superministry called * Whānau Ora. In my time, they had separate ministries for social development, education, employment, and so on. Moko, in 30 years' time you will be dealing with the chief executive officers of Māori statutory boards all around the country. In my time we had to have a * hīkoi, we had to have lots of hui, and we had to have a scrap in * Cabinet to get the first one up and running in Auckland. In 30 years' time you will be dealing with a "Minister for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Negotiations". That is right—that is the one who replaced the * Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations after all the settlements were completed. In my time, when we got the declarations signed they said it would not mean anything—by the way, that is what they said about the Treaty as well. Moko, in 30 years' time you will be dealing with all the * Whare Ōranga Ake units that have been created. Back in my time they were called prisons and did not provide any rehabilitation programmes. Oh yes, moko, keep up with your English language, because in 30 years' time * Te Reo Māori will be the official language of New Zealand, spoken by all. And so, mokopuna, grow strong; you have much to do. * Tēnā tātou.
A vision for NZ for his grandchildren.
Hon TARIANA TURIA:
There is nowhere where I feel more at peace than in the still tranquillity of the * Whanganui River, * Te Awa Tupua, our life blood, our tribal heartbeat, the sacred umbilical cord that unites us from the mountain to the sea. Every year our iwi come together to connect as one through the journey that we call the Tira Hoe Waka. In many ways the last 18 years in this place have been like that same journey that we take: a journey of hope, hope for a better future for our * mokopuna.
Like Sharples, a focus on the future.
And my beloved friend-in-arms Parekura—I miss him so much. Whenever I think of Parekura, I think of how important he has been to my family. My baby, my mokopuna* whom I have raised, Piata, who would have given anything to be Ngati Porou*, , used to come home from school and say to me "Māmā*, , can I just say that I am?", because she wanted Parekura to be her real pāpā.
Oh, that is so nice.
And Darren Hughes—that amazing young man Darren Hughes—who I thought would one day be the leader of the Labour Party and who in fact will end up being the Prime Minister of New Zealand. I miss him so much; he was a great young man, a beautiful young man.
If Darren was still an MP, I suspect he would be Deputy Leader by now.
I want to take this opportunity to mihi to somebody in the House for whom I have huge respect and regard, and that is Hekia. Tēnā koe ki te Minita*. . I have absolutely loved your passionate belief that all of our children have a right to succeed in education. Second-best is not part of your vocabulary, and only excellence will do. You know that we are preparing the next leaders of this nation. I believe totally in what you are doing and I want to say that today in this House.
And the results for young Maori doing NCEA are improving significantly.
I cannot leave this House without recognising a real friend, Chris Finlayson. Chris is the greatest Treaty settlements Minister that we have ever had in this country.
If National gets a third term, we may see the last historical settlement completed!

Freshman Idaho rep's website subject of scrutiny
BOISE, Idaho - A newly-minted Idaho lawmaker changed his Internet biography after questions about its accuracy.
When Rep. Mark Patterson was elected in Boise's District 15, his Facebook site listed him as a University of Southern California student and petroleum engineer.
But Patterson never attended USC and isn't an engineer, though he once worked in Wyoming's oil fields.
The 60-year-old Republican says the inaccurate details were posted by a former campaign staffer, without his knowledge.
Patterson, whose company makes bike lubrication products, did stick to claims he was a professional cyclist.
Though he held no professional license, Patterson said he was paid in the 1990s by another lube company to market products by riding amateur races.
House Majority Caucus Chairman John Vander Woude said the matter shows lawmakers should monitor their online identities.

(Brown) Hoelzel
Guest Book
The Guest Book is expired.
Restore the Guest Book
Joan Woolson (Brown) Hoelzel, 51, of Charlestown and West Hartford, Conn., passed away at her Connecticut home on Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2007. She did not want us to say that her death came "after a long and courageous battle with cancer," so we can't. But it's true.
Joan was born in New Haven, Conn., on April 1, 1956, the daughter of the late Stanley Quay Brown and Joan Woolson Brown. She grew up in Madison, Conn., and graduated from Daniel Hand High School, Class of 1974. She received a bachelor of science degree from Yale University in 1978. She was a letter member of the women's crew team at Yale, which protested the lack of shower facilities for the women's team – but not the men's – at the university boathouse.
Throughout her life, Joan was an avid proponent of environmentalism, and she cared especially about the Connecticut shoreline and Long Island Sound. She earned a master of science degree in marine affairs from the University of Rhode Island, and she worked as an environmental analyst with the State of Connecticut's Department of Environmental Protection for 18 years. In 2001, she and her colleagues at DEP received an award from Gov. John G. Rowland, whom she despised, for her work on the Fort Trumbull project.
Her primary focus was her family and friends, but she also loved sailing, swimming, rowing, traveling, cooking and doing home improvement projects that her husband would not tackle.
Joan is survived at home by her husband, Bill, her son Tanner, and her daughter Merrill. Other survivors include her sister, Quay Brown McKeough and her husband Rick of Darien, Conn., and her brother, Whittier Thompson Brown, and his husband, Barry Aldrich, of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.
She is also survived by sisters-in-law and brothers in-law in the Chicago area – Vernon and Lorelei Lee, and Jeffery and Dianne Hoelzel – and her mother-in-law, Lorraine Hoelzel.
Also surviving are her maternal uncle, Raymond Woolson, and his wife, Pat, of Grantham, N.H., four cousins, six nieces and nephews, four grandnieces and one grandnephew.
We thank all of Joan's doctors and nurses at St. Francis Hospital, New Britain General Hospital, Grove Hill Medical Center and St. Francis Home Care. In addition, we thank our community of friends at Bugbee School, our friends at Westminster Presbyterian Church, and Joan's colleagues at the Department of Environmental Protection for their unwavering support during her illness.
We are celebrating Joan's life with a memorial service at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2080 Boulevard, West Hartford, on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 10 a.m. A private service and burial will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that contributions be made in Joan's memory to

Post falls beats Lewiston in IEL opener
Post Falls, ID - Lewiston might be the two-time defending 5A state champs, but Post Falls proved it might be the front-runner to take home an IEL title this season.

It's a good pairing: together, Serenade and La Sylphide write an essay on doomed love. Serenade sends out warning signals from its opening tableau — 17 women all with right arm extended and hand flexed — and yet by the end of Tchaikovsky's sportive Sonatina, a man and a woman have hooked up. They gambol in the Waltz that follows (hence their usual casting names, Waltz Boy and Waltz Girl) and in the jaunty Tema Russo. Meanwhile, Russian Girl (another casting designation) comes and goes, at first blessing the couple, then joining a quartet of women who appear to spin out the pair's fate. At the end of the Tema Russo, Waltz Boy runs out — or off — with the 16 women while Waltz Girl crashes to the floor. Two (afterlife?) figures appear: Elegy Man and, her hand over his eyes and heart, Dark Angel. Russian Girl enters and the four of them dance, à la Balanchine's Apollo, the three women with their hair down; after a bit, Russian Girl, like Waltz Boy, disappears, Elegy Man and Dark Angel move on, and Waltz Girl is comforted by some of the women and and borne aloft by three men — into the Light? — as the curtain descends..

A cochlear implant is an electronic device that partially restores hearing in people who have severe hearing loss due to damage of the inner ear and who receive limited benefit from hearing aids. The system is comprised of two central pieces: a processor that fits behind the ear and an internal piece implanted under the skin.
The processor captures and processes sound signals, which are transmitted to the receiver implanted behind the ear. The receiver sends the signals to electrodes sitting in the snail-shaped inner ear (cochlea). These signals are then received by the auditory nerve and directed to the brain.
The brain interprets those signals as sounds, though these sounds won't be just like normal hearing. It takes time and training to learn to interpret the signals received from a cochlear implant, though after a year of use most implant patients make considerable gains in speech understanding.
Although results vary from person to person, most find that cochlear implants help them communicate better and improve their quality of life. They report improved:

The 10 Best Asian Condiments
The Japanese brewery behind sushi-bar favorites Kirin Ichiban and Kirin Light uses a yeast-free process to ensure Kirin Free has zero alcohol (most beers labeled non-alcoholic in the U.S. contain trace amounts, up to 0.5% ABV). Kirin Free was an instant hit in Japan, and the brewery is eager to see how U.S. consumers will respond, testing the beer in New York, California, Nevada and Arizona. Zero alcohol means the beer has less belt-busting power than a handful of TicTacs: just 37 calories.
German brewer Paulaner creates a non-alcoholic wheat beer with notes of banana and clove that's actually quite decent, but it's not sold in the U.S. Instead, we get Paulaner's Thomas Brau, an N/A (less than 0.5%) beer with a grain-and-hay, pilsner-like aroma, unobtrusive flavor, and a crisp, light finish.

Asian spa owners demand details, seized property
SPOKANE, Wash - Later this week, a pair of lawsuits filed against the Airway Heights Police Department will pull back the curtain on a secret investigation that targeted alleged prostitution rings in Spokane.
The owners of two Asian spas raided last summer are demanding the return of thousands of dollars, seized during simultaneous raids.
Six months ago, the police raided Joe Jeans Oriental Spa on North Division, arresting 62-year old Yong Cha Kassim and seizing her black Mercedes. Now, she's heading back to Superior Court, hoping to get that car returned.Asian spa owners demand details, seized property
A 14-month long investigation identified almost 200 women working as prostitutes in massage parlors, where investigators say there were no massage tables at all.
"Each of these spas were different," explained Airway Heights Police Chief Lee Bennett in July. "In talking with the undercover officers and our confidential informants, they all work about the same - where a customer will come in, pay a door fee. Once that door fee is paid, then depending on what type of service that customer wants the price goes from there."
Investigators say the spas were clearing $10,000 a month. When they searched the Oriental Spa owner's safety deposit box, they found $38,900 in $100 bills and another $20,000 in $50 bills.
Police seized the spas' assets in the hopes of putting them out of business.
"Well this is a cash-driven business and if they don't have cash, they're not going to reopen the doors," said Airway Heights Police Detective Kelly Justice at the time of the raids. "Because you have to pay for electricity. you have to pay for all the items that were seized as evidence. And, if you don't have the cash it makes it a lot harder for them to reopen."
Now, six months later, Oriental Spa North owner Chin Sim Day's attorney Carl Oreskovich claims his client still hasn't been made aware of the alleged evidence against her. That's because investigators used a judge of special inquiry, in this case Kathleen O'Connor. Up until now, any of the search warrants she authorized have been kept secret.
Thursday, Oreskovich will argue his motion for the return of Day's property. That will put prosecutors in the position of having to reveal their evidence, including having to release the names of the customers who patronized those spas.

France 1867 – 1947
Woman dozing on a bed (Indolent woman)
[Femme assoupie sur un lit (L'indolente)] 1899
oil on canvas
canvas 96.0 (h) x 106.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchase, ex-collection Félix Fénéon 1947

While studying law—he was sworn in as a barrister in 1889—Bonnard had begun attending the Académie Julian, where he became friends with Sérusier, Denis and Paul Ranson. In 1888, Sérusier showed him his Gauguin-influenced The Aven at the Bois d'Amour—later rechristened The talisman, in acknowledgement of the quasi-religious status this work held for the group of artists who became known as the Nabis. Bonnard himself would be inspired by seeing Gauguin's work at the famous Cafe Volpini exhibition in 1889.
With the commercial success of his 1891 poster for France-Champagne, Bonnard was able to turn his back on law to pursue art full-time. A key moment in his life and his art was his meeting the subject of the present work, the enigmatic twenty-four year old Maria (Marthe) Boursin. As Whitfield points out:
By the time she met Bonnard on a Paris street in 1893 she had left home, moved to Paris, found a job and changed her name to Marthe de Meligny. She had so effectively erased her past that not even Bonnard learnt her real name until their marriage in 1925, nearly twenty years after they began living together.1
Despite her working-class background and difficult temperament, Marthe became Bonnard's muse, and the subject of many of his most enduring works. The present painting, showing Marthe lying provocatively on a bed, is one of a number of paintings devoted to the same subject. There is, for example, a small study dating from 1897–98 and another larger version from 1898 or 1899. Similarly there is a small crayon and graphite study for the illustration to page 100 of Paul Verlaine's poetry collection Parallèlement 1900, which Ambroise Vollard had commissioned Bonnard to illustrate. In the published edition, however, Marthe is posed a little more demurely—the tangled sheet obscures her sex, perhaps as a concession to the fact that Parallèlement was aimed at a broader audience.
There is no coyness in the present version of Bonnard's painting, at least in terms of pose. While the title Woman dozing on a bed might indicate a moment of erotic slumber, the pose itself—Marthe's hand cradles one breast, and her left leg, with its foot resting on her right thigh, is splayed so as to suggest it was raised moments before and has just now fallen open to display her sex—acts as a powerful erotic invitation. Woman dozing on a bed shows, then, a moment of mutual contemplation—Marthe presents to us, and to her lover Bonnard, her languorous, indolent sensuality, while Bonnard's contemplative presence is indicated by the skein of smoke wafting from his pipe towards her sex.
While Marthe features in many of Bonnard's early works, this is one of his first paintings in which he shows her completely nude and as such is one of the great Intimist masterpieces of the period.

Thread: Thinking about getting clams.
The issue with any wild animal is that they are loaded with parasites, and other bad guys - this also makes an issue for a tank (esp. with tank breed fish who have never been exposed to these illnesses). Many of these bad guys are kept in check by constant water flow and lack of nitrates/phosphates but in any home (read enclosed) aquarium these chemicals are orders of magitude higher so bad guys can go 'wild' (bad pun), that is multiply uncontrollably. Also, in the wild only the super healthy tend to live due to these factors but tank breed are not this healthy. Store bought is safer (most times.) Dr.fosther/Smith sells clams. Clams do not do well unless you can feed them properly and have very clean water (mature is not the issue) that is changed (mature just means you have a lot of nitrates that are kept at a modest level due to wc). My two cents and good luck.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.
For Fishless cycling:http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ead.php?t=5640
Mature tanks also have more established microorganisms. A tank that is only a few weeks or a few months old is still finding its balance and establishing suitable cultures to help keep filter feeders fed.Who is "General Failure" and why is he reading my hard drive?
So, would a well-maintained tank that will be a year old on Sept. 26th be considered "mature"?20 gal. high: planted; 7 white cloud minnows, several RCS, 2 blue shrimp, 5 Amano shrimp, several snails; Azoo air. 65 gal: planted; 6 rosy barbs, 6 yellow glofish, 3 red glofish, 3 zebra danios, 5 white cloud minnows, 3 dojo loaches, 6 crimson spot rainbow fish, 12 large Amano Shrimp, several snails; AC110.
I would say so.Who is "General Failure" and why is he reading my hard drive?

Native freshwater mussels (Unionids) can live up to 100 years - they are pretty tough critters if they survived all the nasty chemicals that were present in the water during the industrial revolution, high levels of mercury, etc. EKFISHLOVER, Many of these are protected, threatened or endangered so that's why you can get in some serious trouble if you are spotted with the wrong critter in your hands. However...
Freshwater clams (Corbicula) are introduced, small, short-lived and very abundant. (They are easily disinguishable from the Unionids because of their size and rows of ridges in their shells). This makes them ideal for your first trial of keeping clams, but I wouldn't pay for them... they are everywhere. Go scoop up some of these guys and try them out.
As mentioned by Cermet and Scrup, they've just got to be fed properly. They aren't like fish where you can feed them a few days, them leave them be for a few days. They need a constant supply of food (and flow) so that they can filter out tiny particles and feed off of them. The reason why most clams die in aquaria is that they slowly (very very slowly) starve to death. Since they don't have a visible mouth or belly - people just don't know if they are getting enough food.
In our fish lab, we are holding some gigantic Georgia elephant-ears (Elliptio dariensis) and Altamaha slabshells (Elliptio hopetonensis) in a 220 gallon tank. We feed crushed pellets and flakes each day when we feed their tankmates (warmouth, bluehead chubs, and channel cats - all messy eaters). This summer, we would also bring in about 50 gallons of deep-green, plankton-filled water from our catfish ponds and dump it in the tank. The water was crystal clear in 18 hours from them filtering the water.
Sorry for the tangent, but the moral is... a constant supply of food is needed, but as you can imagine, keeping ammonia down when constantly dumping crushed food in can be a tough task, but it is doable. So just start out small with a few individuals, keep an eye on water quality, make sure they stay open and you can see them filtering, and you should be good.Support your local ichthyofauna - buy a fishing license!
Thank you, Uncle Willie.

That was informative. :) Yea, definitely sounds like im not trying that for a while. Maybe in 10 or so years when i have a job that gives me better hours that i can actually work with my tank. Also id need much better flow, as all my flow is vertical, and id assume clams need horizontal for the filter-feeding. Normally what i would take from the river would be the little tiny inch at the biggest shells, only once have i ever seen a mussel, and man that was HUGE!!!! My stepmom picked it up and came to show us what she found, called it a clam. It was bigger than a dinner plate. Id never get one of those, so i should be good with avoiding the endangered and restricted species. At this point much later in life when i try this ill probably make like a hillstream tank and keep the hillstream loaches and clams together in this high current tank, maybe add some minnows from the river while im there. Ill get the minnows and clams first, treat with my invert-safe parasite medication after 2 weeks of settling in, and then after another month or two ill add the hillstreams. That way im sure that the tank is parasite free. That sounds like a good idea. Ill do all this im predicting... 15 years from now. Yea, that should be long enough...10gal Betta Tank - Skye the crowntail and Squiggles the deformed albino cory

The 6 pins involved in programing are being connected and disconnected with the dip switches. One row of switches for each chip style. One row are all "on" and the other 2 rows of switches are all "off". You can see what I mean by the picture on this page. http://jeffmurchison.com/blog/arduinoisp-deluxe-shield-updated/

I originally posted this on another thread, but am curious about how the Dems that frequent this board feel about Obama. Are you happy with the POTUS' performance so far? If so, what specifically are you most pleased with?
How has he made the country better, stronger, more prosperous or safer?
What, if anything, are you dissatisfied with?
Let's try to keep this a civil discussion of ideas.
