Dell drops Adamo 13 to $799
Dell continues to cut the price on the ultrathin Adamo 13, now dropping it $500 below the least expensive 13-inch MacBook Air from Apple.
Dell's Adamo page is showing the price of the aluminum-clad laptop at $799. The Adamo is a 0.65-inch thick alternative to Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air, which now starts at $1,299. Apple's least-expensive Air is an 11.6-inch model, priced at $999. Dell last cut the price of the Adamo 13 in December.
Rolled out at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, it was Dell's answer to the svelte line of Apple MacBooks. Compared to the Air, the Dell laptop has a slightly larger 13.4-inch screen and is a bit heftier, at just under 4 pounds. The new 13-inch Air weighs just under 3 pounds. … Read more

This preschool was awful! Izzo was not patient or understanding, her assist and is creepy and unfriendly. My child hated going here!!!!
I have looked at several preschools in the Durham N.H. area and have found old landing children"s day to well exceed my expectations with regards to my child's first educational experience. The limited class size ensure's that my child would get greater individual attention than any of the preschool's that I have visited.

Since it first initiated its AIDS program, NIAAA has devoted much of its extramural and intramural research efforts to biomedical issues. NIAAA's broad research goal in this area is to elucidate how alcohol alters the immune system in ways that may compromise host defense against HIV. In October 1991, NIAAA issued a program announcement—Research grants on alcohol and immunology including AIDS—to stimulate research on effects of alcohol consumption on the biological and biochemical mechanisms involved in the etiology of immunologic dysfunction.
NIAAA's extramural research support has included research grants and supplemental funding to Alcohol Research Centers and grants for AIDS-related issues. Extramural research projects include a broad spectrum of basic and clinical immunological research, including investigations of (1) alcohol and susceptibility to infection;

LAW & SOCIAL POLICY
Spring 2012 / Louis D. Brandeis School of Law / University of Louisville
Donald Vish, lecturer
________________________________
Course Description
This course will focus on law as it shapes or reflects social policy not as it facilitates the resolution of disputes between private parties. This course will examine the relationship of law to social, political, cultural and economic conditions in the United States.
Overview of Classes
There will be twelve topics covered in fourteen classes. Here is an overview:
Introduction
1) The People and Social Policy. Tocqueville observations of democracy in America, The Federalist Papers, the antecedents and hallmarks of United States social and legal P
policy; separation and balance of powers: the social, civic and political ethos of the United States.
2) The Judiciary and Social Policy
3) The Legislature and Social Policy
4) The President and Social Policy along with twenty one questions about Tocqueville 's views on the source of law in a democracy, the role of the legal profession, judicial power, customs, religion, education, race, majority rule, a free press, criminal laws, executive power, possible tyranny of the legislature, individualism, family, material prosperity and love of money, how a new aristocracy may emerge in the United States, how democracy affects wages and why regulation is needed, the equality of men and women, waging war in a democracy, the main objective of law-making in a democracy and the basic social tableaux of the United States.
The Judiciary
5) Capital Punishment and Social Policy: An Evolving Standard of Decency
6) Race, National Origin, School Segregation: Law & Policy, A Pas De Deux
7) Libel: Weaving Together Law and Policy or is it Policy and Law?
8) Corporate Political Activity: Social Policy, Public Policy or Legal Policy?
The Presidency
9) War Powers: Who's Policy?
10) Enhanced Interrogation: Law or Policy or Neither?
The Legislature
11) Sex, Marriage, Defense of Marriage Act: Limits on Majority Rule
12) The Takings Clause: Economics as Policy

Objective of the Course
The condition of society is normally the result of circumstances, sometimes of laws, more often than not a combination of these two causes; but, once it is established, we can consider it as the fundamental source of most of the laws, customs and ideas which regulate the conduct of nations: whatever it does not produce, it modifies. In order to become acquainted with the legislation and the manners of a nation we must, therefore, start by studying the social condition. –Tocqueville p.58.

What is the objective of the course? This course is designed to introduce the student to the interplay between law and social policy—the civic intersection where culture, social conditions, customs, economics, morals, politics, prejudice and self-interest meet on the way toward formulation of a governing policy that prudently dispenses public and political justice.
Law and social policy encompasses the relationship between customs and statutes, the letter and spirit of the law, the will of the majority and the rights of the minority. It is both current and enduring---the past and present working together.
What is the course about? It is about the sources of law—the confluence of political power, the exigency and temper of the times as well as the more enduring influences of culture, customs, manners and values and priorities of the people. If zeitgeist is the temper of the times law is the temper of the people. The concept of the 'people' transcends the numerical majority of the moment.
Social policy may be based on the culture, zeitgeist, necessity of the day, convenience, consent of the governed or popular will. Social policy is more permeable than law.
Law and social policy are engaged in a perpetual a pas de deux—sometimes one leads and at other times follows. While their separate form is distinct, their function is unified. They dance and function as one even though they are clearly two.
The course follows the path mapped by Tocqueville. In order to become acquainted with the law we will study social conditions and manners.
Ultimate Questions Posed by the Course
Every lecture, every class, every case and text considered in the course raises the question (s): What is the relationship between law and social policy? Does law lead or follow? Is law master or servant, shadow or corpus? Is social policy determined by the people or by the judiciary or by the legislature or by the executive branch, the bureaucracy or by the constitution? Might social policy come from experts, customs, culture, social conditions, world opinion or an informed elite?

Class Dates:
January: 9,16, 23, 30
February: 6, 13, 20, and 27
March: 5, 12, and 26
April: 2, 9
Course Syllabus
Basis of grading: There will be a final exam comprised of five essay questions each worth 20 points. The questions will invite straightforward expository prose responses (there are no hidden or subtle issues lurking in the questions). Each question will ask 'what' or 'why' or both or will begin with instructions to 'discuss' or 'evaluate' or 'describe' or 'compare' or 'provide examples of'. Each question will invite the student to demonstrate both reportorial and analytical skills based on memory, preparation, analysis, critical thinking and command of class presentations. Good reportage will earn a "C" while superb insight and analysis will earn an "A". [See the attached Appendix for more elaboration on the grading criteria].
You may contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or you may communicate through a class ombuds committee of three students that will be appointed to facilitate presentation of any complaints, suggestions or requests that an individual student may not want to present directly.
Class plan: There will be fourteen classes beginning January 9 and ending April 9. Twelve class plans have been prepared (unplanned time allows for productivity through flexibility and the opportunity to review, summarize and talk about the final exam): The first four classes are introductory and historical and treat the course resources, the three departments of government and twenty one law and social policy questions considered by Tocqueville in his master work Democracy In America (1835, 1840). The ensuing eight classes will cover (in the sequence in which they will be considered): Capital Punishment, Segregation, Libel, Corporate Political Activity, War Powers, Torture and Terrorism, Family and Governmental Takings.
The first four substantive lectures are animated with a focus on judicial power and social policy, the next two on executive branch power and social policy and the final two on legislative power and social policy. Four broad types of law and policy shape the course: ECONOMIC (Takings and Corporate Political Activity) LIBERTY (Libel and Family), THE STATE (War Powers and Enhanced Interrogation) and SOCIETY (Capital Punishment and Segregation).

Lecture #1: INTRODUCTION: The Power of the People
 [January 9, 2012]
The people reign in the American political world like God over the universe. --Tocqueville 71
______________________________________________
Assignments for Class #1: Introduction: The Power of the People, Money and Property
1. Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America (Penguin Classics 2003) (With an Introduction and Notes by Isaac Kramnick) (Cited in the Syllabus as "Tocqueville"). The aim of this book was to reveal American laws. [335]. The discussion of Tocqueville culminates in the 4th Class with a discussion of twenty policy points presented in the book. Read Section III of the Introduction by Kramnick in its entirety, pages xxiv through xxxvii and pages xliii through xlvii, the concluding part of Section IV. Also read the author's Introduction in part, pages 11-16: A new political science is needed for a totally new world. [16].
2. Tocqueville Chapter 2 pp. 36-58 (always read the introductory head notes at the beginning of each chapter). This chapter is an overview of the social, cultural, religious mix that the United States is. It sets the course for the course. Many of its specific topics will be treated in more detail in the 4th Class: the national character, common language, equality, land, liberty, the cultural differences between north and south, the nature of 'gold seekers', the social theory of the United States, the source and object of laws both penal and political, public education, religion, the spirit of religion and liberty (in opposition or support?) the relationship between law and social conditions.
3. Tocqueville Chapter 3 "Social Conditions" and their impact on the laws pp. 58-67 especially the role the laws of inheritance play in the progress of human affairs. I am not even aware of a country where the love of money has a larger place in men's hearts or where they express a deeper scorn for the theory of a permanent equality of possessions. [64].
4. Tocqueville Chapter 4 pp. 68-71 "The Sovereignty of the People": The people reign in the American political world like God over the universe. [71]. The collective will of the nation, two impediments to progress before independence, its role in all things.
5. Chemerinsky Chapter 1, Section 1.4 "How Should the Constitution Be Interpreted?" pp.15-26. END

Lecture #2: The Judiciary
[January 16, 2012]
…there is no liberty if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers. The Federalist Papers, No. 78: The Judiciary Department (Hamilton)
…an American judge is dragged, despite himself, on to the political field. Tocqueville 121
There is hardly a political question in the United States which does not sooner or later turn into a judicial one. Tocqueville 315
…the idea that gold and silver mines are the source of national wealth: a fatal idea which has done more to impoverish those European nations who were enslaved by it and has destroyed more men in America than the united influence of war and bad laws. Tocqueville 41.

End

Lecture #3: The Legislature
[January 23, 2012]
It is to a legislature thus constituted that almost all the authority of the government has been entrusted. Tocqueville Ch XV
The executive power in our government is not the only, perhaps not even the principal, object of my solicitude. The tyranny of the legislature is really the danger most to be feared, and will continue to be so for many years to come. The tyranny of the executive power will come in its turn, but at a more distant period. Tocqueville quoting Thomas Jefferson Ch. XV

However, this is the direction in which the friends of democracy should constantly fix their gaze; for if ever aristocracy and the permanent inequality of social conditions were to infiltrate the world once again, it is predictable that this is the door by which they would enter. –Tocqueville 648.

Justice Bill Cunningham of the Kentucky Supreme Court takes a keen interest in legal education, especially in the ethical training of law students and lawyers. He writes to recommend a book, The Fall of the House of Zeus: The Rise and Ruin of America's Most Powerful Trial Lawyer:

I have just finished reading the book, The Fall of the House of Zeus [The Rise and Ruin of America's Most Powerful Trial Lawyer], by Curtis Wilkie. It is about the rise and fall of mega lawyer, Dickie Scruggs, of the famed asbestos-tobacco-Katrina lawsuits. The story dramatically relates how greed can transform erstwhile good people and fine people into criminals. If possible, I would make it required reading for every lawyer and law student in Kentucky.

Dear friends:

Logan's Battery needs your help. On behalf of the University of Louisville, its School of Law, and the legacy of one of UofL's all-time legends, I ask you to save one of our university's most beloved historic landmarks.

John Alexander Logan was one of the first law school graduates from the University of Louisville. He received his degree in 1851. During the Civil War, he served under Generals William T. Sherman and Ulysses S. Grant and rose to the rank of major general. As commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, Logan called for a nationwide observance in honor of fellow soldiers who did not survive the Civil War. The observance, then known as Decoration Day, eventually became Memorial Day.

Logan served a distinguished career in politics. Before the Civil War, he had been elected twice to the United States House of Representatives from Illinois. After the war, he served an additional three terms in the House and two terms as a United States Senator. He joined the 1884 Republican Party presidential ticket as running mate to James G. Blaine.

On May 13, 1978, Air Force General (ret.) Russell E. Dougherty, a 1948 law graduate of the University of Louisville, dedicated Logan's Battery, a replica of a three-inch Parrott Rifle used in the defense of Louisville during the Civil War. This cannon has paid tribute to John Alexander Logan, his law school alma mater, and to the entire University of Louisville community.

Logan's Battery desperately needs restoration. I ask that you join me in designating a gift toward the restoration of Logan's Battery to a condition befitting this distinguished alumnus of our law school and our university. Once restored, Logan's Battery will sit in a new place of honor in front of the Law School and the University's Oval. To make a gift, please visit the Law School's page for gifts from friends and alumni.

Very truly yours,

Jim Chen

The Death Penalty is Killing Itself
By

Donald Vish
Kentucky Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty

The death penalty is too broke to fix, to risky to use and too expensive to keep. It is the penal equivalent of Russian roulette: most of the time nothing happens but every now and then somebody gets killed.

But we may be on the verge of a lot happening.

Death Penalty History: 1957-2008
The modern history of death penalty in Kentucky undermines its own credibility as a just, legitimate and effective instrument of public policy. Since 1956, there have been thousands of murders committed in Kentucky and many were eligible for a death sentence.

Today, there are 35 people on death row and four people have been executed in the last 53 years.

Kelly Moss was electrocuted against his will in 1962; Harold McQueen was electrocuted against his will in 1997; Eddie Lee Harper decided to stop his legal appeals and requested execution by lethal injection in 1999; Marco Chapman dismissed his lawyers and his legal appeals and was executed by lethal injection in 2008.

The modern history of the death penalty in Kentucky mocks itself as a penal option that is intended to deter crime, exact retribution for heinous murders and provide society with the comfort and closure that comes from knowing that justice will be done in an even-handed manner.

How can four executions in 53 years deter anyone from doing anything? What does it say to victims' families, friends and society at-large that out of thousands of murders in 53 years only 4 were deemed sufficiently heinous to merit execution? What is the citizenry to make of a system that can take up to thirty years to conclude its official deliberations?

What are judges, law enforcement officials and citizens to make of a justice system that seems to select for execution only those murderers that share, shall we say, certain similar demographics and even 'geographics'? And how shall we reconcile our social and civic and legal commitment to fairness and the even-handed administration of the law with the knowledge that innocent people have been sent to death row?

Death Penalty History: 2009—present
The attorney general requested three death warrants from the governor in November 2009. Before the governor could act on the request, the Kentucky Supreme Court suspended executions in Kentucky until the Kentucky Department of Corrections published the details of the procedures it uses for execution. The DOC complied and new and revised procedures were back on the books by May, 2010. The governor began the procedure for setting execution dates for the three men when he discovered the state had a limited supply of a key drug used in lethal injections, enough for only one dose, and even that supply expired in October 2010. So, the governor asked his justice secretary to formulate a selection process so that at least one of the three could be executed while the others waited for fresh supplies of the lethal drug needed to complete the injection cocktail. The Department of Corrections has said that a new supply cannot arrive before the first quarter of 2010.

Status of the Wilson Case and Executions Generally?
The death warrant authorizing Wilson's execution expired at midnight September 16, 2010. According to representations made by the Department of Corrections to the Franklin Circuit Court, a key ingredient in the lethal injection mix will not be available until the first quarter of 2011. As a result, there is no current date for Wilson's execution and the state lacks the chemical means to execute until the first quarter of 2011.

There are also legal issues pending about the Wilson case that may affect executions generally:

1) The Kentucky Supreme Court is reviewing a decision by the Kenton Circuit Court denying Wilson's request for DNA testing and a determination of whether he is exempt from execution due to mental retardation. If the Supreme Court grants Wilson's request, an evidentiary hearing will be scheduled in Kenton Circuit Court. It is highly improbable that the governor would seek to execute Wilson before a hearing was concluded and it is highly probable that he would be enjoined if he did. This ruling does not affect capital punishment generically.

2) The Kentucky Supreme Court is also reviewing a case from Franklin Circuit Court involving the new execution procedures written by the Kentucky Department of Corrections pursuant to a November 2009 order of the Kentucky Supreme Court.

This case has the potential to impact all executions in Kentucky.

Wilson intervened in the case and the trial judge enjoined the state from executing Wilson while the court was reviewing the legal adequacy of the new execution procedures. In the course of enjoining the Wilson execution, the trial judge expressed official interest in (i) the lack of procedures to test for mental retardation prior to execution and (ii) possible legal flaws in Wilson's trial where he was given no choice but to represent himself most of the time. Judge Shepherd has established an expedited briefing schedule on these matters, which concludes on October 25th.

The Kentucky Supreme Court is currently reviewing legal briefs from the litigants concerning the Franklin Circuit Court case, after which it may rule that the case is moot since there is no current death warrant applicable to Wilson; or, it might affirm the judge's ruling, the effect of which would be to require the Department of Corrections to supplement its execution procedures to provide for mental retardation testing; or, it might reverse the trial judge's ruling in effect finding that the judge had no good reason to delay the Wilson execution. In the latter case, Wilson would be scheduled for execution if and when (1) the governor signs a new death warrant and (2) the state receives new supplies of the drugs needed for the lethal injection.

If the Supreme Court finds the case is moot or it agrees with Judge Shepherd, the case would nevertheless be returned to Franklin Circuit Court for such further hearings as the trial judge may require in order to render a final judgment on the legal adequacy of the new execution procedures.

Facts about the Death Penalty(As of October, 2010)

35 states have the death penalty
15 do not
New Mexico and New Jersey abolished the death penalty in 2009 and 2006.
1170-- Number of executions since resumption of executions in 1976
1999-- Stands as the year with the most executions—98
2009—34
2008—37
2007—42
2006 – 53
Race of defendants: W-57%, B-34%, H-7%
Race of victims: W-79%, B-14%
Race of death row inmates: B-42%, W-45%
Exonerations through 2009 in 26 states—139
Since 1999, number of death sentences has dropped dramatically:
 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008
Sentences 284 235 167 169 153 140 138 121 115 111 (2008 is projected)
Kentucky Death Row 34 (includes one woman)
Gallup Poll: October 2008 Gallup Poll found overall support for death penalty was 64% (80% in 1994). Poll also revealed when respondents are given choice of life without parole as alternate sentencing option, more choose life without parole (48%) than death penalty (47%). http://www.gallup.com/poll/111931/americans-hold-firm-support-death-penalty.aspx (11-17-2008).
Number of Executions before 1976 424
Current Kentucky Death Row Population 35
Women on Death Row (Kentucky) 1
  Georgraphy
Southern states accounted for 95 percent of the executions in 2008. Texas accounted for 16 of 32 executions as of August 2009 and over 37 % of all executions in the U.S since 1977. Over 33% of the prisoners on Texas Death Row come from the county where Houston is located. In 2007 (the last year for which statistics are available), juries throughout the United State returned 115 death sentences. Over 60 % were in the South. A 2002 study found that 2/3rds of American counties have never imposed the death penalty since 1977. Only 3 % (92 out of 3,066) of the nation's counties account for 50 percent of its death sentences in that 32 year period. When the U.S. resumed executions in 1977, only 16 nations had abolished the death penalty; the number has since grown to 135 (60 retain) (FL Bar 10-01-09—11). Five nations are responsible for +90% of the world's executions: Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, China - and the United States.

Conclusion
The death penalty is sanctioned by the law of the land but seems to be ruled by the law of unintended consequences when it is not being ruled by the Fourth Law of Thermodynamics (also known as Murphy's Law).

A recent example of Murphy's Law is furnished by a lethal injection attempt in Ohio where a prisoner in the death chamber was repeatedly stuck with a needle to administer the lethal drugs but was eventually sent back to his cell when the prison personnel could find not a vein to use. And a recent example of the law of unintended consequences is furnished by an FBI report that showed states with high death penalty usage have a higher murder rate!

Of the Wilson case, Judge Boyce Martin of the United States Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit wrote earlier this month:

The rape and murder of Debbie Pooley was a heartbreaking and reprehensible
act. But at Gregory Wilson's murder trial, the state's ignominy began…*** virtually every branch of our justice system failed —from the judiciary, which allowed a sex scandal between a colleague of the trial judge and Wilson's co-defendant to jeopardize the fairness of Wilson's trial; to the defense counsel, who were woefully unqualified and left Wilson abandoned at trial. The judiciary failed both Wilson and our legal system in this case because a judge's unseemly conduct created a risk of bias that undermined the fairness of Wilson's trial. Brenda Humphrey, Wilson's co-defendant and the woman who identified him as Pooley's killer, was having an illicit sexual affair with Judge James Gilliece, a colleague and good friend of the trial judge during Wilson's trial:***
…This scandal is an embarrassment to all segments of the judiciary, from the judge
who violated the Code of Judicial Conduct by having a sexual relationship with a
defendant to the court officers who broke their oath of office by ferrying this defendant to and from the judge's chambers for sex. When any trial is infiltrated by this sort of sordid corruption, it demeans our judicial system and undermines public confidence in its judgments. When a criminal defendant's life is at stake, it is horrifying.
Perhaps even more egregiously than the judiciary, Wilson's defense counsel
failed him and the principles of our legal system. From the very beginning of the case, Wilson's defense was clearly a charade:****
…Over my more than thirty years on the bench, Wilson's trial stands out as one of
the worst examples that I have seen of the unfairness and abysmal lawyering that
pervade capital trials. Although I will continue to apply the law of the Supreme Court as required by my oath, I must reiterate my belief that "the idea that the death penalty is fairly and rationally imposed in this country is a farce." Moore v. Parker, 425 F.3d
No. 09-6306 Wilson v. Rees, et al. Page 7250, 270 (6th Cir. 2005) (Martin, J., dissenting). To maintain the legitimacy of our adversarial system of justice, we must be confident that its two foundational components are sound: a neutral and fair arbiter, and adequate legal representation for both parties.
If either pillar is fractured, as in this case, then we are left with a system that does not function. Its results cannot be trusted, particularly when a life is at stake. When a person is sentenced to death in a kangaroo court such as Wilson's, with an illicit sexual affair taking place between a co-defendant and a colleague of the trial judge and no semblance of qualified defense counsel, it irreparably tarnishes our legal system. Until we reform this broken system, we cannot rely on it to determine life and death.

North bypass on hold
By SUE WATSON
Work on paving the North Holly Springs bypass has hit a snag and the contractor will cease hauling topping until next year, according to county engineer Larry Britt.
He advised the board of supervisors that two of three borrow-pit sites must be surveyed for Indian artifacts if they are found to be Indian grounds. The borrow pit on the west end of the bypass does not have to be reviewed, but one pit in the middle and one on the east end will be examined by an archeologist with Ole Miss for a cultural resources assessment, Britt said. The results will be put before the Tribal Council and they have 45 days to respond. If the council does not respond in 45 days, the contractor can use the two pits in question. If the council does not release the sites, the contractor will pick new sites for fill material.
Britt said he expects it will be mid-June of 2010 before the road is paved and ready for opening.
"We'll have to play that game; it is not the contractor's fault," Britt said. "There's nothing they can do. Their hands are tied."
Supervisors approved a permit for the town of Byhalia to continue laying water lines down French Road to Victoria and over and up St. Paul Road. Britt asked for the permit, saying Byhalia has been holding on to grant money for about four years to get the expansion but could lose it if the town doesn't get on with the construction.
The board also approved giving developer Mike Bailey permission to file some plats if he puts up a maintenance bond to check erosion on some lots that have not been sold.
Alan Burnett, program director for Hospital Wing, addressed the board of supervisors Monday seeking county participation in memberships that would help the air ambulance service and residents of the county who do not have adequate insurance. A trip to Memphis on Airwings can cost up to $8,000, Burnett said. Most insurers pay only about $5,000 of that fee, he said. The remainder is born by the patient. Individual memberships are $50 per year for a single person, $60 for a family but the county could enroll its residents for about $195,000 and charge each sanitation customer $1.25 monthly for the membership.
Individuals who have Medicare Part A and Part B are not obligated to pay any more than Medicare has already agreed to pay, but those who do not have Part B as well as Part A would be billed for what Medicare does not pay, he said.
Burnett said this program is becoming popular with counties, is economical, and helps remove the burden of critical care transportation via Hospital Wing to area hospitals. The company operates as a not-for-profit and memberships are tax deductible.
Hospital Wing transports about nine patients on average a month from Marshall County and over 2,000 a year over the system, he said.
Supervisors could offer the membership to its employees only for about $10 per employee insured.
Hospital Wing has been in service 25 years and has been accident free for 45,000 hours flying. The service operates three helicopters from Memphis and has one stationed in Brownsville, Tenn., and another in Oxford. The service uses the Eurocopter, now made in Mississippi. The aircraft are powerful enough to operate safely with three pilots, two nurses and one patient aboard and flies at top speed of 150 miles an hour.
If the county selects to purchase a membership for the whole county, Hospital Wing will provide protection and accept whatever benefit a patient's insurance pays. It will also cover anyone living in the county regardless of ability to pay.
The blanket coverage to the county would provide peace of mind and anyone who does not want to participate can opt out of the program, he said.
Some counties put the fee on the wheel tax and others add it to a utility bill such as sanitation or electricity, he said.
Burnett said the enrollment by no means is a money-maker but helps the service pay for training and certification of its pilots, nurses, paramedics, mechanics, etc.

In the dawn of this day
My slumber is in dismay
So I arise and listened to music
And found a pen to act like poetic.
I was wondering if I do have a talent
Of being a poet for my life's a bent
I am thinking if my time and efforts a waste
For I deducted my sleep to make this poem great.
I endured mosquitoes and dawn's cold breeze
But hearing the song "True Color" gives me a beat
If everyone sees true color this is such a feat
For I don't need to act great and be a freeze.
Well I guess this is it
For now I don't have words to fit
My simple poem for the morning
For I have a hard time sleeping.

The Internal Revenue Service is not adequately managing its software licensing, a recent audit found. And while IRS officials say there are plans in place to approve such software governance, the inspector general is not so sure.
"The IRS does not have an accurate enterprisewide inventory of installed software and licenses as required by Executive Orders, Department of the Treasury Directive 85-02 and IRM 10.8.2 and as recommended by and [Information Technology Infrastructure Library] industry best practices," the report from the Treasury Inspector General for the Tax Administration stated.
Effective software licensing management reduces the risk for license noncompliance, and ensures that taxpayer dollars are not being wasted on unused licenses. The IRS agreed to all six of TIGTA's recommendations, but the two parties disagreed about specifically where appropriate corrective action needs to take place.
"The subject audit examined our desktop and laptop environment which we consider a part of our overarching approach for enterprise software governance," the IRS Chief Technology Officer Terence Milholland wrote. "Thus, our corrective actions addressing recommendations include desktop and laptop software licensing as a subset of the enterprise."
TIGTA, however, concluded that the IRS did not in fact have an overarching approach for enterprise software governance at the time of the audit, and recommended that the IRS develop a method to implement best practices for licensing management.
The inspector general delivered the final report to the IRS on June 25, but did not release it publicly until Aug. 19. A TIGTA spokesman told FCW this is standard practice, and that the lag allows for an internal review process to ensure compliance with federal confidentiality law.

Tru Life Turns Himself In For Ties To Murder
The murder, which happened last week, left an 18 year-old dead, and another man wounded. Initial reports put Tru Life's brother in connection with the stabbing-murder. The incident was believed to be a retaliation for a non-fatal shooting of Tru Life associate Michael Slater. The stabbings were reported to the face and chest of the victims - Michael Black, and the un-named deceased.
Tru Life, a one-time protege of Jay-Z, is most known for his musical and physical feud with The Diplomats, most notably Cam'ron and Jim Jones [click to read], which began over disputes of Blood gang affiliation.

By Pfc. Alicia Small
| Recruiting Station San Diego | March 07, 2008
Soon after I started working at the public affairs office, I learned that the mascot's caretaker was being reassigned to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and I was next in line for the duty of watching over my "fellow
devil dog."
My task was unexpected and unwanted at first, but would eventually turn into a rewarding experience.
Taking care of Molly was an adjustment because I had never before owned or cared for a dog. I was used to living in a clean and quiet room without any interruptions in my free time. But that all changed with Molly
as a roommate.
Molly snored so loudly that my mother could hear her when I talked to her on the telephone. She slobbered all over everything, which made it imperative for me to own multiple pairs of uniforms and do frequent
loads of laundry.
I also had to fight for a position on my bed, as Molly seemed to claim it as hers.
I was responsible for performing well at my job of being a photojournalist and Marine, but now had the difficult task of keeping track of everything that had to do with Molly. I had to make sure she ate right and had
the proper amount of exercise to ensure she was healthy.
Along with my engagements, such as interviews and photo shoots, it was my duty to make sure Molly was in her proper uniform and at motivational formation runs, graduations, and any other ceremony or event
where her presence was requested.
Making it to the office on time in the morning became a game between Molly and me. Every time I gave her an order to hurry and stop sniffing around she would just stop and look at me like: "I don't have to listen
to you. I outrank you."
As we walked to the office, people would stop me and want to see Molly perform tricks, like her famous salute. This would happen so often I thought to myself, "What is the big deal? She's just a dog!"
As I spent more time with her at events and during our free time, I started to realize why everyone thought Molly was such a big deal. Molly's personality grew on me to where even the sound of her snoring next to
my bed was comforting.
I would watch the surprised reactions of the recruits when I would take her with me on different stories. I would smile whenever I saw her showing attention to families who were here to see their Marine graduate.
She provided entertainment for the Marines in the barracks, playing with anyone who gave her attention, and performing tricks for treats. She also visited the Marines standing barracks duty to brighten up their
Molly holds an important position at the depot. When she attends events, especially ones dealing with the local community, people see her character traits and comment how much she is like a real Marine. Molly
wears the uniforms and progresses through the ranks just like every other Marine in the Corps.
Marines, like the bulldog, are often thought of as fierce and strong.
After having passed on the duties of Molly's care, I find myself missing the extra responsibility and the pleasure of having her companionship. I think Molly's presence raises the morale of those around her, and in turn, helps them complete their mission.

Salsa was once the United States' most popular condiment (just ask George Costanza). And while condiment definitions may have changed, and our country's allegiance may have moved on to mayonnaise, salsa remains a part of life for every American looking to spice things up. But which one is the best? We put together a crack team of salsa taste-testers to find out.
We decided to only opt for Medium salsas rather than Mild or Hot, because Medium has the largest market share of any variety, and strikes a good balance between taste and spice. Go too Mild, and things get dull. Go too Hot, and everyone gets a numb mouth. Thus, we went Medium. Here's how the salsas stacked up:

The Boston Celtics play the first game of a back-to-back road trip tonight when they take on the New Orleans Pelicans in the Smoothie King
Ah, corporate America! You have sucked the life out of sports arena names everywhere!
Boston has not beaten a Western Conference team on the road all season, while the Pelicans have won 9 out of its last 11 home games against Eastern Conference opponents. Making matters worse, New Orleans has beaten Boston four straight times, including a 95-92 decision in TD Garden on January 3.
So naturally the Celtics are going to reverse these trends and secure a victory tonight, right?
That all depends in large part on how well Pelicans All-Star Forward Anthony Davis plays. Davis went off for 36 points on 15 for 27 shooting Friday night, and has scored at least 28 points in his last five games. Even though New Orleans is lottery-bound, just like the Celtics, it's clear that Davis is a young stud worth building around, so Boston better have a game plan to stop him tonight.
I suggest quintuple-teaming him!
The Celtics may have to rely on a sublime performance from point guard Rajon Rondo, who should be free to log some major minutes as he will not be playing in tomorrow night's tilt in Dallas. Rondo will be matched up against Pelicans rookie point guard Brian Roberts, who is not exactly a defensive specialist. Rondo has struggled to put the ball in the basket lately, but tonight's matchup is the type that could allow him to go off.
The game is set to tip off at 6 p.m. tonight. Be sure to follow us on Twitter @HoudiniCeltics and check in after the game to see what Trey has to say!

Meeting Tease
The room was crowded, and the meeting was long and boring. I reclined in my chair and looked around the room. Most of my coworkers were seated at the long conference table along with me. There weren't enough seats, so anyone who showed up too late to sit were standing around the perimeter of the conference room. A few had hopped up on the counter running the length of one wall.
As my eyes scanned across, I realized that I was looking straight up Tricia's dress. She was wearing an orange sundress that ended above her knees. Her legs were just barely parted, and I couldn't quite see anything, but I couldn't help trying. As if she sensed me looking, she suddenly crossed her legs, and I looked away, continuing my sweep around the room, though I was no longer really looking.
As our boss droned on, my attention kept drifting back to her legs. I was praying she would shift, or cross her legs the other way, and I would catch a glimpse. For what seemed like an eternity, I kept stealing quick glances to my left… and it was perhaps inevitable I would get caught.
As I glanced over one more time, I realized she was looking straight at me. Quickly, guiltily, I met her eyes, expecting anger. Instead, I found an amused look on her face, and then she slowly, deliberately, uncrossed her legs. For a moment, before she recrossed them, her legs spread a bit wider than she needed to, and I saw all the way up her thighs to a pair of black mesh panties.
I felt an immediate surge between my legs, and then the moment was over, as quickly as it had begun. Her eyes were back on our boss, her legs crossed as through nothing had happened. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat and tried to focus.

You know how we feel about anyone attempting to ban pajama wearing in public. (If not, check out this blog post on the topic: A Message From Ellie In Response To Bans On Pajamas In Public) Yesterday, we learned how the other commissioners in the Louisiana parish where Commissioner Michael Williams proposed a ban felt about the topic.
On Tuesday Commissioner Williams attempted to bring his ordinance, which would place a ban on wearing pajamas in public, to the agenda. But, he was shot down by his fellow commissioners, who voted 8-4 against putting the ordinance on the agenda for the day.
Not only that, but one of the commissioners, Joyce Bowman, protested the ordinance by wearing her pajamas to the meeting.
She explained her objection to the ordinance to the ShreveportTimes.com.
"I can wear what I want to wear, when I want to wear, where I want to wear without the government interfering in my life telling me what I can and I can't buy with my money," Bowman said. "What they need to do, the sheriff and the police, is be catching these folks shooting all over the city. Go find those folks and leave people alone and let them wear what they want to wear."
Joyce Bowman is now officially The Pajama Company's favorite Louisiana commissioner.
A Louisiana Commissioner is getting serious about a public ban on pajamas today. Commissioner Michael Williams, of the city of Shreveport, Louisiana, plans to introduce the ordinance during his commission's agenda today, according to shreveporttimes.com.
"It's similar to the City of Shreveport's that includes the sagging and baggy pants and also addresses the pajamas," Williams told the paper. "I put a lot of work into this project and at the end of the day, it's not about me. I'm trying to restore the American values."
Here at The Pajama Company, we have a different view of American values. Read our view on why wearing pajamas in public is an American right: A Message From Ellie In Response To Bans On Pajamas In Public.
By Ellie Badanes, Founder and President of ThePajamaCompany.com. When the headline first appeared in my Google Alerts that a parish in Louisiana was attempting to enforce a ban on wearing pajamas in public, I barely gave it a second glance. Unfortunately, that is a sign of the times when I hear about another school banning its students, or even parents, from wearing pajamas on its premisses nearly every week. But as I read more about Louisiana's Caddo Parish District 3 Commissioner Michael Williams' attempt to push through an ordinance that would prohibit anyone from appearing in public wearing "a garment sold in the sleepwear section of department stores," I realized this was emblematic of a more concerning trend in our country. Now, I'm not just saying this because I happen to own an online store which sells only sleepwear apparel. I am saying this because I believe clothing is one of the greatest forms of personal expression in our modern world. And personal expression is something that must not be limited in a successful democracy. I founded The Pajama Company eight years ago because after a career in the fashion industry in New York and traveling the world working for an international women's NGO, I realized pajamas were my favorite type of clothing. After two decades of wearing power suits and ball gowns, I found pajamas were what I wore to feel my most creative, to feel my most comfortable and to express myself most fully. That kind of power should never be taken away from the people. Read the rest of Ellie's blog on the attempted pajama ban in Louisiana at thepajamacompany.com/blog

Janice R. WilliamsJanice R. Williams
GRANVILLE, N.Y. Janice R. Williams, 87, a former resident of Danby, Vt., and Florence, Vt., passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 24, at her residence in Granville, after a long illness. Her loving children were by her side.
Born on September 22, 1925, in West Rupert, Vt., she was the daughter of Theodore H. and Mary (Braymer) Hay. She received her primary education in West Rupert, Vt., and graduated from Salem, N.Y., High School in 1943. She married Merle E. Williams on November 22, 1946, in Rupert, Vt. Mr. Williams predeceased her on October 2, 1989, and now they are reunited.
Her home and family were her primary interests. She enjoyed decorating her home for every season and holiday, and took great pride in the accomplishments of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In her younger years she enjoyed going dancing, taking long car rides in the country with her family, crocheting and reading. Later in life she loved to watch the birds and wildlife out her window. She also enjoyed her flower gardens and her pond and mountain views. She once remarked that she felt as if she was on vacation every day at home.
She is survived by a daughter, Claudia Williams of Granville; three sons, George Williams and Jeffrey Williams, both of Manchester Center, Vt., and Jack Williams of Granville, N.Y.; four grandchildren, Jeffrey Williams, Jr. and his wife Buffy, Blair, Sierra, and Miranda Williams; three great-grandchildren; her brother, Douglas Hay and his wife Beverly of Sandgate, Vt.; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Video: Longhorn - Windows Server Virtualization
With the wonderful world of Virtualisation hotting up, I wanted to take the chance to explain and clarify a few things around Windows Server Virtualisation, and what was previously shown back at WinHEC in 2006.
In the video, you'll see Jeff Woolsey, Senior Program Manager for Windows Server Virtualisation (WSV), demo a number of different areas of the technology, and in particular, Jeff highlights 8-core Virtual Machines, Hot-Adding of hardware and Live Migration of Virtual Machines, none of which will make it into the first release of WSV.
The key statement in that last paragraph is "none of which will make it into the first release of WSV". Yes, that's right, they won't be there to begin with, but they will come. We've had them working. We've demo'd them live, and they will be back. Just not yet.
With regards to Live Migration - even with 3rd-Party-Live-Migration-Tools, would you ever do a live migration of a Virtual SQL Server at 2pm in the afternoon? What about an Exchange Server? Do you trust it enough, even if that particular piece of 3rd party software was considered the optimum tool for the job? Be honest, would you? I think most of the people out there would rather wait until the end of the day's trading, and then perform the migration just to be on the safe side. However, if you've waited until the end of the day, why does live migration suddenly become so important? Would it really matter if a Virtual Machine was down for 10 seconds? Does it have to be instant? Many of the people we speak to suggest a little bit of downtime would be fine, and the luxury of live migration becomes just that. A luxury.
So, if live migration has been postponed in WSV, what is in it's place? Well, the informatively named 'Quick Migration'. Just like a popular tin of Varnish, it does exactly what it say's on the tin. It migrates VM's quickly. Not live, not instantly, but quickly, and anyone who has watched Jeff Woolsey demo at TechEd, just recently in Orlando, at around the 45:25 minute mark, would have seen Jeff migrate a VM, in around about 6 seconds. Admittedly, even 6 seconds would be too long at 2pm in the afternoon under a heavy workload, but after the day has finished, would 6 seconds be acceptable? Most would say so. Interestingly, you can also have this kind of functionality with Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1, today, for free.
Aside from live migration, 8-core VM's has gone for now, but 4-core is still there - we think this is still relevant, and scalable for the majority of today's workloads. 8-core, and more, will come.
Everything else in that video is relevant, and still exists in the release that will ship within 180 days of the RTM of Server 2008. I think you have to agree, even if you remove live migration, 8-core support and hot-adding of hardware, WSV and System Center still provide a fantastic platform to help optimise your infrastructure.
