Correctional Officer Ethical Standards of Conduct
This policy defines professional conduct and ethical standards of conduct for correctional officers, including identifying conduct which is unbecoming and unprofessional. This policy supplements the ethical standards contained in the American Correctional Association Code of Ethics, a copy of which has been included following this policy.
Correctional effectiveness depends upon the community's respect and confidence in our ability to manage safe and Constitutional jails. Conduct that detracts from this respect and confidence is detrimental to the public interest. The policy of this Department is to investigate circumstances suggesting an officer has engaged in unprofessional or unbecoming conduct, and impose disciplinary action when appropriate.
This policy applies to all correctional officers of this agency engaged in official duties, whether within or outside the territorial jurisdiction of this agency. Unless otherwise noted, this policy also applies to off duty conduct. Conduct not mentioned under a specific rule, but which violates a general principle is prohibited. This policy is organized into eight principles. Each principle is followed by the rationale explaining the principle and a set of rules.
Principle One
Correctional Officers shall conduct themselves, whether on or off duty, in accordance with the Constitution of the United States, the Florida Constitution, and all applicable laws, ordinances and rules enacted or established pursuant to legal authority.
Correctional Officers perform their duties pursuant to a grant of limited authority from the community. Therefore, officers must understand the laws defining the scope of their enforcement powers. Correctional Officers may only act in accordance with the powers granted to them.
Correctional Officers shall not knowingly exceed their authority in the enforcement of the law, or in applying facility rules and regulations to the inmates they supervise.
Correctional Officers shall not knowingly disobey the law or rules of criminal procedure in such areas as interrogation, arrest, detention, searches, seizures, use of informants and preservation of evidence.
Correctional Officers shall not knowingly restrict the freedom of individuals under their supervision, in violation of the Constitutions, laws of the United States and the State of Florida, or court orders.
Correctional officers, whether on or off duty, shall not knowingly commit any criminal offense under any laws of the United States or any state or local jurisdiction in which the officer is present.
Principle Two
Correctional Officers shall refrain from any conduct in an official capacity that detracts from the public's faith in the integrity of the criminal justice system.
Community cooperation with the criminal justice system is a product of its trust that officers will act honestly and with impartiality. The correctional officer must act in a manner that instills such trust.
Correctional Officers shall carry out their duties with integrity, fairness and impartiality.
Correctional Officers shall not knowingly make false accusations.
Correctional Officers shall truthfully, completely and impartially report, testify and present evidence, including exculpatory evidence, in all matters of an official nature.
Correctional Officers must obey lawful orders, but must refuse to obey any orders the officer knows would require the officer to commit an illegal act. If in doubt as to the clarity of an order, the officer shall, if feasible, request the issuing officer to clarify the order. An officer refusing to obey an order shall be required to justify his or her actions.
Correctional Officers learning of conduct, or observing conduct, that is in violation of any law or policy of this Department shall take necessary action and report the incident to the officer's immediate supervisor. If the misconduct is committed by the officer's immediate supervisor, the officer shall report the incident to the immediate supervisor's supervisor. This directive includes reporting illegal, or suspected illegal conduct by other corrections employees, inmates, or other persons working in the facility.
Principle Three
Correctional Officers shall perform their duties and apply the law impartially and without prejudice or discrimination.
Correctional effectiveness, including the safety of the facility, requires trust and confidence of the inmate population. Diverse communities must have faith in the fairness and impartiality of all parts of the criminal justice system, including the operations of correctional facilities. Correctional Officers must refrain from fostering disharmony in the facilities in which they work based upon diversity, and perform their duties without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation or age.
Correctional Officers shall provide every person in our society, including inmates under their supervision, with professional, effective and efficient Correctional services, including the operation of facilities which are clean, fairly managed, and free from violence.
Correctional Officers shall not express, whether by act, omission or statement, prejudice concerning race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation or age.
Correctional Officers shall not allow their decisions regarding an arrestee, inmate, or the family and friends of an inmate to be influenced by race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation or age.
Principle Four
Correctional Officers shall not, whether on or off duty, exhibit any conduct that discredits them or their Department or otherwise impairs their ability or that of other officers or the Department to provide corrections services to the community.
A correctional officer's ability to perform his or her duties is dependent upon the respect and confidence communities have for the profession. Correctional Officers must conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the integrity and trustworthiness expected of them by the public.
Correctional Officers shall not consume alcoholic beverages or use chemical substances, while on duty.
Correctional Officers shall not consume alcoholic beverages to the extent the officer is rendered unfit for the officer's next scheduled shift. A correctional officer shall not report for work with the odor of an alcoholic beverage on the officer's breath.
Correctional Officers shall not use narcotics, hallucinogens, or other controlled substances except when legally prescribed. When medications are prescribed, the officer shall inquire of the prescribing physician whether the medication will impair the officer in the performance of the officer's duties. The officer shall immediately notify the officer's supervisor if a prescribed medication is likely to impair the officer's performance during the officer's next scheduled shift.
Correctional Officers, while on duty, shall not commit any act that, as defined under Florida law, constitutes sexual harassment, including but not limited to, making unwelcome sexual advances, requesting sexual favors, engaging in sexually motivated physical contact or other verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature. This prohibited conduct includes peers, supervisors, inmates, arrestees, families and friends of arrestees, volunteers, contractors, or any other persons working in the facility.
Correctional Officers, while off duty, shall not engage in any conduct that the officer knows, or reasonably should know, constitutes an unwelcome sexual advance or request for sexual favor, or unwelcome sexually motivated physical contact or other unwelcome verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature. Correctional Officers shall not, in the course of performing their duties, engage in any sexual contact or conduct constituting lewd behavior.
Correctional Officers shall not commit any acts that, as defined under Florida law, constitute sexual assault or indecent exposure. Sexual assault or sexual harassment does not include a frisk search or other search done in accordance with proper department procedures.
Correctional Officers shall not commit any acts that, as defined under Florida law, constitute (1) domestic battery/violence and/or stalking, or (2) the violation of a court order restraining the officer from committing an act of domestic violence, having contact with the petitioner, or excluding the corrections officer from the petitioner's home or workplace.
Correctional Officers shall avoid continuous personal, off-duty, associations with persons who are known to engage in criminal activity. This rule does not prohibit those associations that are necessary to the performance of official duties, or where such associations are unavoidable because of the officer's personal or family relationships.
Principle Five
Correctional Officers shall treat all members of the public courteously and with respect, including inmates, arrestees, visitors, and colleagues.
Correctional Officers are a visible and integral part of the criminal justice system. Correctional officers are role models for inmates, families of inmates, and their peers. Therefore, Correctional Officers must make a positive impression when interacting with inmates, the public and each other.
Correctional Officers shall exercise courtesy in their dealings with arrestees, inmates, facility visitors, the public, fellow officers, superiors and subordinates.
No correctional officer shall ridicule, mock, deride, taunt, belittle, willfully embarrass, humiliate, or shame any person, including arrestees or inmates, or do anything reasonably calculated to incite a person to violence.
Correctional Officers shall promptly advise any inquiring citizen of the Department's complaint procedure, and shall follow the established departmental policy for processing complaints.
Principle Six
Correctional Officers shall not compromise their integrity, nor that of their Department or profession, by accepting, giving or soliciting any gratuity that could be reasonably interpreted as capable of influencing their official acts or judgments, or by using their status as a correctional officer for personal, commercial, or political gain.
For a community to have faith in its Correctional Officers, officers must avoid conduct that does or could cast doubt upon the impartiality of the individual officer or the Department.
Correctional Officers shall not use their official position, identification cards or badges: (1) for personal or financial gain, for themselves or another person; (2) for obtaining privileges not otherwise available to them except in the performance of duty; and (3) for avoiding consequences of unlawful or prohibited actions.
Correctional Officers shall not lend to another person their identification cards or badges or permit these items to be photographed or reproduced.
Correctional Officers shall refuse favors or gratuities that could be reasonably interpreted as capable of influencing official acts or judgments.
Correctional Officers shall:
(a) not authorize the use of their names, photographs or titles in a manner that identifies the officer as an employee of their Department in connection with advertisements for any product, commodity or commercial enterprise;
(b) maintain a neutral position, while on-duty, and/or in uniform, with regard to the merits of any labor dispute, political protest, or other public demonstration;
(c) not make endorsements of political candidates, while on duty, or while wearing the Department's official uniform.
None of these rules shall prevent officers from engaging in the free expression of political speech in their capacities as private citizens, or the rights of police fraternal or labor organizations to endorse political candidates or express views on political issues or other matters of public concern.
Principle Seven
Correctional Officers shall not compromise their integrity, nor that of their Department or profession, by taking or attempting to influence actions when a conflict of interest exists.
For the public to maintain its faith in the integrity and impartiality of Correctional Officers and their Departments, officers must avoid taking or influencing official actions where the officer's actions would or could conflict with the officer's appropriate responsibilities.
Correctional Officers shall, unless required by law or policy, refrain from becoming involved in official matters, or influencing actions of other Correctional Officers in official matters, impacting the officer's immediate family, relatives, or persons with whom the officer has or has had a significant personal relationship.
Correctional Officers shall, unless required by law or policy, refrain from acting or influencing official actions of other Correctional Officers in official matters impacting persons with whom the officer has or has had a business or employment relationship.
Correctional Officers shall not use the authority of their position as Correctional Officers, or information available to them due to their status as Correctional Officers, for any purpose of personal gain including, but not limited to, initiating or furthering personal and/or intimate interactions of any kind with persons with whom the officer has had contact while on duty.
Correctional Officers shall not engage in any off duty employment if the position compromises or would reasonably tend to compromise the officer's ability to impartially perform the officer's official duties.
Principle Eight
Correctional Officers shall observe the confidentiality of information available to them due to their status as Correctional Officers.
Correctional Officers are entrusted with vast amounts of private and personal information, or access thereto. Correctional Officers must maintain the confidentiality of such information to protect the privacy of the subjects of that information, and to maintain public faith in the officer's and Department's commitment to preserving such confidences.
Correctional Officers shall not knowingly violate any legal restriction for the release or dissemination of information.
Correctional Officers shall not, except in the course of official duties or as required by law, publicly disclose information likely to endanger or embarrass victims, witnesses or complainants.
Correctional Officers shall not divulge the identity of persons giving confidential information except as required by law or Department policy.

I ordered Prince from Another planet from Amazon more than a month before it was released and I finally received it and of course I looked at it immediately.
This DVD shows the interview in New York from Elvis and the Press and was wonderful, you can see it very clearly, the images came out so clear that for times
you thought it was happening right there at this moment and time, he looked so beautiful and we can enjoy in this interview his sense of humor that we all know
he had. I have to say that I saw this interview in other Dvds that I purchased but this one is the best one by far.
The documentary I will say is out of this world, for the description that is given by those man that were there, and one could not do anything but to wish you
were there watching those important moments, I myself was so touch listening to them and could imagine how fortunate were the ones that were able to see
him and be near him when he was giving those powerful performances. I say that the documentary is the best part of this DVD for the description given by
Lenny Kaye, Musicologist and Guitarist, George Kalinsky, MSG Photographer, their descriptions are the most shilling ones because they send you right there
with their descriptions of what really went on at MSG and how Elvis Presley took New York by storm with those performances. They described the audience,
and how he owned it as soon as he set foot in the stage. Mr Kalinsky said at one point: "Everybody in the audiences no matter how far they were from the
stage try to rich out to Elvis.
The description given by Lenny Kaye Musicologist and Guitarist was amazing when so calmly he described what being at MSG mean at that moment, in one of
his descriptions he said: "he is larger than life" that is why he is the king and still is. He said in the documentary that in 1972 he was a Rock writer for Cavalier
magazine, they approached him and said: "Elvis is coming to New York, would you like to cover his performances and Press Conference", to watch him and so
he did, he started with the Press conference and described all the excitment, the recorders at the top of the stages from the Media and the way it was
conducted, the minute when the drums went out and Elvis appear on stage as the press described him: "like a prince from another planet". He said further
"they were only four feet from the stage to the ground" and that gave the audience a sense of intimacy, made everybody a part of the performance and that
was done only by Elvis Presley,as he said that he never witness anything like this before. Mr. Kaye gives here such a powerful description, going as far as
mentioning Elvis's respect towards others when he called everybody Mr., Mom., Dear and so on, never forgetting who he was.
What else can I say, I can add here Mr. Kalinsky the MSG Photographer, showed here photos he mentioned here that nobody photographed like that man
and he was part of all that.
Joe Guercio his music director does another description of what it was MSG at that moment and how New York reacted to his performances, being a
discriminating city, tough and so on, it was amazing to see how Elvis changed all that when he delivered such charisma, according to them he was in optimal
vocal situation and Mr.Kaye said he sang there better than ever, not missing a single note, do not forget that Mr. Kaye is a Musicologist and Guitarist.
We have to believe it because it was shown there that those tickets were ten, seven and five dollars, that we know of course that at that time that amounts to a
lot more now, but I can help but think that The King performed for those amounts of money at that time. That is another part of the history.
The rest of the dvd the performances are cut here and there and I am not complaining about it, I have to say that is probably due to the time, the recording
and we must remember that is being 40 years since that, we all should be thankful that we have in our hands a peace of history, and that is ELVIS PRESLEY
I give five stars to this dvd and will look at it over and over,and every time I see it I affirm over and over again the kind of entertainment Elvis Presley was and
still is but for the ones that are still in doubt or that never heard the man singing and performing I would like to ask them to look at this dvd to feel the
electricity that emanated from his charisma. He was here in total control of his voice and of the audience that were so lucky to be there and be part of this
history. The description given by the ones that were there says it all, even the press that called him: "Like a Prince from another Planet" Only one man could
have done that......Elvis Presley.

We've covered the Chevy Volt extensively over the past few years, and we are now excited to announce that the EV has just claimed the title of Green Car of the Year at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show! In a year filled with new market releases and incredible concepts, the already popular Volt has risen above the competition to become the first electric vehicle to ever claim this prize.
Aside from its commercial availability, the Volt's progressive Voltec propulsion system is what pushed it to the forefront of the electric vehicle race. The impressive system can take the car up to 50 miles on a single charge before a gas-powered generator kicks in to provide electricity that can take the car for another whopping 300 miles. This technology has transformed the way consumers view electric cars, breaking down consumers' fear that their vehicle will go kaput once the battery has been drained.
As Joel Ewanick, VP, U.S. Marketing, General Motors states, "The Green Car of the Year award validates the Chevrolet team's promise to deliver a practical electric vehicle." He continues, "The Volt's a transformational technology that will lead our industry into a new age of vehicle electrification."
The Green Car of the Year award is part of Green Car Journal's mission to showcase environmental progress in the auto industry, highlighting exemplary vehicles that push the bounds of environmental performance in meaningful and quantifiable ways. This year's jury included six environmental and automotive experts along with Green Car Journal editors, where the jurors selected the 2011 Chevrolet Volt from five finalists that included the Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, and Nissan LEAF.

Countries and regions
Central Asia
Central Asia is of geostrategic importance to the EU. The region represents a bridge to China as well as to Afghanistan and to the Middle East. The region is a source of significant energy imports for the EU.
Four of the five Central Asian countries benefit from favourable access to the EU's market, through the Generalised Scheme of Preferences (Kazakhstan, as an upper middle income level economy, can no longer benefit from this scheme since January 2014).
Trade picture
Central Asia:
- Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan
EU trade with Central Asia has grown and the EU is now the main trading partner of the region, accounting for about a third of its overall external trade. Nevertheless, total turnover of the EU's trade with Central Asia remains low.
- Central Asian exports to the EU remain concentrated in a few commodities, especially crude oil, gas, metals and cotton fibre.
- EU exports are dominated by machinery and transport equipment, and other manufactured goods. Such products account for more than half of EU exports in the region.
EU-Central Asia: Trade in goods
|EU imports
|EU exports
EU and Central Asia
WTO membership
WTO membership of all the Central Asian countries is a pre-condition for closer trading and investment relations with the EU.
- Kyrgyzstan has been a WTO member since 1998.
- Tajikistan became a WTO member on 2 March 2013.
- Kazakhstan's accession process is well advanced.
- There is limited progress in the accession of Uzbekistan
- Turkmenistan has not yet applied for WTO membership.
Based on the EU Central Asia Strategy the EU aims to enhance relations with the region as a whole and each of its particular countries. In the area of trade and investment the Strategy focuses inter alia on the accession of the entire Central Asian region to the World Trade Organisation. It also aims to help Central Asian countries take greater advantage of the EU's Generalised Scheme of Preferences.
The overall institutional framework for the EU's cooperation with the region is as follows:
- The EU's bilateral trade relations with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are governed by a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA)
- In terms of trade, these are non-preferential agreements – ensuring most-favoured nation treatment and prohibiting quantitative restrictions in the bilateral trade.
- The Partnership and Cooperation Agreements envisage progressive regulatory approximation of the partner countries' legislation and practices to the most important EU trade-related standards including technical regulations, sanitary and phytosanitary requirements, intellectual property rights' protection and customs issues. This should lead to better access to the EU markets for goods originating in those countries.
- The Partnership and Cooperation Agreement concluded with Turkmenistan in 1998 has not yet been ratified by all the Member States of the EU.
- Pending ratification, an Interim Agreement on trade and trade related matters entered into force on 1 August 2010.
- The other areas of cooperation remain based on the Trade and Cooperation Agreement signed with the Soviet Union in 1989 and subsequently endorsed by Turkmenistan.
Trading with Central Asia
- The EU is present on the ground in Central Asia (EU Delegations in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan)
- Trade relations are part of the EU's overall political and economic relations with Central Asia

But you can't stop the inevitable and I blinked, and am now the proud owner of a fabulous five month old, my simple life has changed, and I am definitely feeling the love I was warned about.
Oh, how I love her.
I would die for my husband, my family is my whole world, and I love my friends more than I could ever express in this lifetime. But the love I feel for Scarlett is a different, more colorful love then I've ever known before. It's a selfless sort of love that I don't believe I've ever been able to give to anyone else; mostly because I had no idea how selfish I truly was until she came into this world.
It's almost as if I couldn't see past myself, until I saw her.
And now, I see everything differently. I feel her deep brown eyes watching me, soaking me in daily like a tiny little sponge, and I feel an intense desire to be the woman that God needs me to be, for her. No longer my own, my self centered focus in life has slowly shifted to seek out everything I can possibly do to draw myself closer to God so that I can feel His presence more readily in my life as I raise up this gift that He's given me.
As I watch her watching me, there is little else that matters. And though I've relied on it since I was a little girl, I'm only just beginning to scratch the surface of the unfathomable love that God has for us as I'm holding her in my arms, breathing her in so deeply and experiencing a joy that I've never felt before.
Because God loves me even more than I love her.
It's hard to imagine how that's possible, but I know it is. I believe that God looks lovingly down on me in the same fashion that I stare at her. He feels the same intense connection to me that attaches me to my child, because I am His child. He desires to love and protect us, to hold and comfort us, to extent mercy and grace to us, to speak to and communicate with us, just as we do with our own children.
To feel this intense, selfless love for someone else on a level that I've never felt before brings to mind the unconditional love His Word teaches that God extends toward me every single day, and I'm in awe of and humbled by the very thought of it.
I want so badly to share it with others, let it spread all around me like a wildfire. I want to accept that love from God anew every morning, to tuck it all deep inside until it spills out of my heart continuously, molding and shaping me into a better person, so that others can see God's love radiate through me like the stars in the sky. And though I'm only human and will no doubt make countless more selfish mistakes, I want to do everything that I can to glorify God and thank Him for His forgiveness, for His devotion, for His unspeakable blessings.
For Scarlett Grace.
And now I set-addicted to and caught up in the radiating glow of this new take on love, watching as time flies by-and my life has truly changed. Once an infertile trying desperately to reach a point in my life that produced offspring, I've been wildly blessed to achieve that milestone at least once in this lifetime, and I have hope of more to come.
So that's what I've been up to these past few months. Blogging has been replaced with thoughts of change, a strong desire to intentionally give myself over completely to God, and desperate attempts to hold onto every fleeting moment of my tiny human that I can before it's gone. It isn't that I have been uninspired or unfulfilled; it's the exact opposite. I've been caught up in the brilliant beauty and unexpected intensity of this new life I've been given.
But the reality is that I think better out loud and I miss the clarity that placing my thoughts out in the open brings and the gratitude that follows those written blessings, so I'm going to do my best to get back to blogging on a regular basis, documenting more about the miracle that is my tiny human, and my personal experiences and revelations along the way.
So to hold me more accountable and in a desperate attempt to build suspense, I'm working on a slide show of pictures to share soon, as well as a few more posts on motherhood, infertility, the plan for our frozen babies and an update on being a working mom, as well as the possibility of some interesting book reports and overly honest product reviews.
Maybe even a few give aways of my own personal creations if I can manage to find my craftiness again.
Every day still holds it's fair share of rainclouds, but I've been blessed beyond measure and God is good every day, despite our circumstances. And even when things look dark, it's easy to see God's grace in my sweet Scarlett Grace, it fills my heart and brings the sunshine back every time.
Oh, how He loves us!
"God is love. Therefore, love. Without distinction, without calculation, without procrastination, love."

Richard H. Hardy - The Infinity Program - Author Interview & Giveaway
About the Book
Jon Graeme and Harry Sale are unlikely friends. Harry is a world-class programmer, but his abrasive personality alienates co-workers. In contrast, Jon is a handsome and easy-going technical writer, the low man on the IT totem pole.
Sharing a love of nature, the men set out together, planning to go their separate ways--Jon on a hike and Harry, fly fishing. Three days later, Jon arrives at the rendezvous point, but his friend is nowhere in sight. When Jon finds Harry unconscious on the floor of a cave, Harry claims to have been lying there the entire time. But he is neither cold nor hungry. What Jon doesn't know is that Harry fell into an underground cavern, where he came into contact with an alien quantum computer.
Back at work, Harry jettisons his regular tasks and concentrates exclusively on inventing new operating language to access the alien system. In the process he crashes his office's Super Computer and is fired. Jon convinces the company to give Harry a second chance, arguing that the system he has invented will make them millions.
Jon has no idea what havoc Harry is about to unleash.
Author Interview
1. Why did you choose this setting?
The office setting The Infinity Program allowed me to write about what I know about from personal experience: the office dynamics of a privately owned IT company.
2. How is it a fundamental part of your overall theme?
The odd, Dilbertesque world of a software company is the backdrop of The Infinity Program. The hero of the story is a world class systems programmer. The office background shows my hero, warts and all, in his native environment.
3. How challenging was it to write about?
The challenge for me was to re-create a world that I was very familiar with but do it with original characters, not copies or re-creations of the people I actually knew.
4. How did you develop your setting as you wrote your book?
The software company I worked at was small and specialized. My fictional company, called HPTS, is much larger, wealthier and has connections to the defense industry. I had to extrapolate this world and its larger cast of characters. My descriptions of the offices and buildings were rather plain vanilla until the final drafts. At that point I added architectural and design details to make the setting more realistic.
5. How do you transport them there through your writing?
The reader is shown the office environment from the point of view of the workers who inhabit it. People in a well-run office must be focused. This is especially true in the software industry. I tried to bring the reader into the story with dialogue and re-create the hectic, intense pace of the IT environment.
6. How do you introduce them to an area they may not be familiar with?
Software developers sometimes seem to be a breed apart, but they have many of the same foibles as the rest of this. I tried to present this side of them to my readers. They're really just like the rest of us. Sometimes they eat too much or spend too much time thinking about sex. Sometimes they create needless conflict simply because they are in a bad mood or bored. And sometimes they are just plain silly. I definitely tried to inject a little humor into the book. My friends and early readers were enthusiastic about some of the humorous bits.
7. How do you go about making the setting come alive for the reader?
I tried to make the setting realistic by using small pieces from my own life experience. For example, at one point in The Infinity Program Jon Graeme is stressed and is walking off his nervous energy in the office hallways. When he keeps running into another programmer who is also walking the halls, he remembers what his boss said about the man: "That guy is on his feet more than a cow!" This line was lifted word for word from a co-worker who was criticizing a colleague for never being at his desk. In creating some of Jon's work assignments, I borrowed directly from my own work experience. I tried hard to give the reader a true sense of what life is like at an IT company.

About the Author
Richard H. Hardy was born in Glasgow, Scotland, during a week of relentless bombing raids just before the close of World War II. The day he was born an incendiary bomb fell on the church across the street from where he lived, so he is fond of saying that he entered the world with a big adrenaline rush.
His family later moved to England and then on to America.
After college Richard bounced through a series of temporary jobs as he traveled around the country, wanting nothing more than to write fiction. A job driving a library van allowed him free time to write several short stories and work on a novel.
He and his wife moved to New Hampshire, where he took an entry level job at a software company. He was soon promoted to the technical writing department and ended up producing over 500,000 words of online documentation. After a few years he was promoted to the programming department and ended up as the Senior EDI Programmer, creating EDI maps and writing UNIX scripts and troubleshooting on AIX systems throughout the U.S. and Canada.
After he retired, he started writing fiction again. The Infinity Program is his first published novel.

The object of Roll for the Galaxy is to have the most victory points when the game ends. Players begin the game with: a cup for rolling dice; a starting tableau of a faction tile (two developments) and a home planet; a construction zone mat with the Citizenry and spots for development and planet tiles; a phase strip, with all the possible roles; a screen which also has all the rules inside; three Home (white) dice in the cup, and two Home dice on the Citizenry, plus any dice given from the home planet. And a number of victory point chips, based on the number of players, are placed in the middle of the table.
I really enjoyed Race for the Galaxy. There is no combat with or blocking of opponents, letting players focus more on their own strategy than that of opponents. The game starts slowly, but as players get more dice from planets and more benefits from developments players get a lot more dice to use and options for using them. Players can work to end the game when most beneficial for them, while checking to see if an opponent is close to ending things. And since active dice don't go back in the cup, earning enough galactic credits to add dice to the cup can be as important as getting more developments and planets.
The one slight downside is that this game requires a tremendous amount of trust: You have to be sure you and your fellow players aren't illegally changing the facing of dice behind the screens before revealing them. But as long as the players are trustworthy, Roll for the Galaxy is a nice blend of luck and skill in creating a star-spanning empire.

Wisconsin roundup: Bill calls for automatic prison in OWI fatalities; vets in line for entrepreneurship aid; 7 more state news stories
MADISON — Drunk drivers who kill other motorists in traffic crashes would have to spend at least five years in prison, in a bill set for a public hearing on Thursday.
It's part of a new effort by Assembly Republican Jim Ott of Mequon and Senate Finance Chair Alberta Darling of River Hills to crack down on OWIs. The two have introduced numerous bills the past few years, many of which were never passed amid concerns that they would cost too much for the additional court cases and prison sentences.
They have three new measures for up for hearings by the Assembly's Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee Thursday morning. The other measures would raise minimum terms for five and six time drunk drivers from six months to 18 — and bar all OWI offenders from driving without needing sobriety interlocks to start their vehicles.
Veterans in line for entrepreneurship aid
MADISON — Military veterans will get state help to start their own businesses, or improve their current operations.
Six organizations will share $400,000 in state grants to provide entrepreneurship training and other business and technical assistance for those who've served. State Veterans Affairs Secretary Dan Zimmerman says vets already have many of the "essential skills and intangibles that make a good business owner."
Bunker Labs of Madison is getting the largest state grant — $238,000 to train veteran business owners in its Innovator Academy. The Fox Valley Technical College Foundation was also funded, as well as Legal Action of Wisconsin, Michaelangelo's Workshop of Middleton, Project Echelon of Waukesha, and the UW-Milwaukee Upward Bound program for veterans.
Report: Police sergeant drove to work drunk
SHOREWOOD — A suburban Milwaukee police sergeant was placed on administrative leave after he allegedly showed up for work intoxicated.
Officials did not immediately release the officer's identity, except to say he is a 31-year-old man who's been with the Shorewood police force for 14 months. Milwaukee County sheriff's deputies gave the man a sobriety test and his blood alcohol level was 0.16, twice the legal limit for drunk driving. He was cited for OWI and booked on a misdemeanor of endangering safety because a handgun was found beneath one of the seats in his car.
Man arrested on suspicion of shooting pellet gun at cameraman
MADISON — A 51-year-old man faces a possible felony charge for allegedly shooting a pellet gun at a TV photojournalist at the scene of a duplex fire near Madison.
The suspect told Dane County sheriff's deputies he shot at a crew from WKOW on Sunday because he felt they infringed on his property. Deputies were already at the scene in the town of Burke because of the fire, and they responded after hearing shots from the area. The 40-year-old photojournalist was said to be struck from behind by a pellet, and his injuries were minor. Deputies said they booked the alleged shooter for endangering safety.
Wisconsin, other states could make Medicaid recipients work
WASHINGTON — Wisconsin and other states would get the option of forcing able-bodied Medicaid recipients to work for their benefits as early as this fall.
That's part of a package of amendments from Janesville House Speaker Paul Ryan and his fellow Republicans Monday night — something Ryan hailed as a cooperative effort with the White House to improve the replacement to Obamacare. Conservatives pushed for several changes that GOP leaders added to the package in advance of a House vote set for Thursday.
Taxes that the wealthy and health care groups pay for expanded Obamacare coverage would expire this year instead of next. And the House GOP decided to let the Senate figure out how to help older workers pay for their health costs, which could be as much as five times higher than for younger people instead of the current limit of three times higher.
State tax credit loophole costs taxpayers $27M
MADISON — A Wisconsin tax credit loophole that Gov. Scott Walker wants to eliminate has cost taxpayers $27 million since 2013.
The Legislative Fiscal Bureau says the sweeping income tax credit for factories and farm related businesses has let several hundred filers get tax breaks for income taxes paid in other states — and they get a double benefit if they can also claim credits offered in those states as well as Wisconsin. The State Journal of Madison says the Wisconsin credit will give farm businesses and factories $284 million this year, almost twice as much as initially projected for its first full year after a four year phase in.
Walker's two year state budget would eliminate the tax loophole and bring in almost $20 million more in state revenues. Walker calls it "reasonable" but the state's largest business group says it's a tax hike for farms and factories.
State milk production growth streak ends at 33 months
MADISON — One extra day on the calendar is partially to blame for Wisconsin ending a 33 month streak of milk production growth.
The USDA says the Badger State made 2.1 percent less milk in February than in the same month last year, which was a Leap Year with 29 days in the month. Wisconsin dairy farms produced 2.32 billion pounds of milk last month — 51 million fewer pounds than in February of last year. The state had the same number of dairy cows with 1.28 million, but each animal produced about 40 pounds less for an average of 1,815. In the 23 major dairy states, the USDA milk production dropped by 1 percent on a year to year basis — but without the Leap Year in 2016, it would have increased 2.5 percent.
Witness: Police never let suspect surrender before shooting him
MILWAUKEE — A witness says a suspected drug dealer never got a chance to surrender before law enforcement officers shot and killed him in Milwaukee.
Nate Beverly lives in the north side neighborhood where 32-year-old Jermaine Claybrooks was killed last Thursday night. He says he never heard officers' commands before they proceeded to get out and "start shooting." Beverly joined others at a vigil for Claybrooks on Monday night.
Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn says officers were confronted by the victim who was in a car with tinted windows rolled up — and they started shooting after they could see a gun in his hand. Claybrooks was the subject of a investigation involving Milwaukee and West Allis Police, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration — and a suburban investigative team led by Wauwatosa Police is looking into the shooting.
Test results: Smaller percentage of deer died from CWD
MADISON — The state Department of Natural Resources says 7.3 percent of the deer it tested last year had chronic wasting disease.
That's down from the 9.4 percent death rate from 2015 that alarmed some state lawmakers. The DNR's website says 441 of the 6,039 deer taken by hunters and analyzed by lab technicians had CWD. That's about twice as many samples as the previous year, which had the highest percentage rate of CWD infections since the fatal deer brain disease was first discovered in the Badger State in 2002. The DNR has been working on revisions to its long term plan to keep chronic wasting disease in check — and that work could be finished by the end of this year.

For me the most
immediate and exciting things about "Kammer/Kammer" were, first, the performances
by Dana Caspersen and Anthony Rizzi, and second, the sheer craftsmanship
with which this otherwise highly fragmented multimedia production was
put together. On the one hand the dancing, acting, filming, and broadcast
of live edited video seemed to relate to one another in an open ended,
almost indeterminate way; but at the same time everything was evidently
planned tightly and executed with extraordinary precision.
San Martin was the
only figure who both danced and had a significant speaking part. I heard
some people complaining afterwards that there wasn't enough dancing; I
think they were mistaken. It was just that the dancing almost never became
the primary focus of attention. For all the dancers' energy and inventiveness,
the audience were continually distracted from it by either the seductive
power of the video or the equally seductive narratives of unfulfilled
gay and lesbian desire.
Cunningham has written about his realization that there are no fixed points in stage space. Forsythe's deliberate fragmentation of stage space takes Cunningham's idea to a hyperbolic extreme. It does this by exploiting spatial disjunctions. A sense of frontality was created when Caspersen or Rizzi performed to the video camera rather than towards the audience and their image was transmitted to the big video screens on stage and hanging throughout the auditorium. Because this clashed with the 'front' of the proscenium, which the audience themselves faced, one became aware that not only are points not fixed but that they can be disturbingly multiple, belonging simultaneously to irreconcilable time spaces.
The relationship between all these elements, and with less obvious ones like the movement of flats to create temporary new spaces or to reveal previously hidden ones, defied rationalisation. It continually evaded any expectations of conventional closure, despite the personable qualities of the narrators and the hook of their narratives. The piece montaged together these various elements and experiences. At their most interesting, these produced startling and disturbing juxtapositions. But despite this openness, one could not but marvel at the meticulousness and the hard work with which everything come together: I might almost say, to fall back on an old cliché, with Germanic efficiency.
One of the things some critics have attacked are the philosophical quotes Forsythe often places in his programmes. In most of Europe, philosophy is a central part of the educational curriculum in a way that is not the case in England and the United States. The programme for "Kammer/Kammer" comes with two quotations. The first is from Feuerbach (1804-72), a Hegelian philosopher of history whose ideas were severely criticised by Karl Marx. The passage Forsythe has found sounds curiously like Jean Baudrillard, and discusses the way modern people are only interested in artificial copies of reality and attribute an almost sacred quality to these. This is clearly connected with elements like Caspersen's strong resemblance to Deneuve, and the trompe l'oeil painting on the stage flats.
The other quote comes from Giles Deleuze (1925-95), and discusses the relationship between seeing and saying. Running through "Kammer/Kammer" is a split between what the audience see, and whether we choose to see it directly or on video, and what we hear: music, sound effects, and, of course, spoken words. (The person with a megaphone in Forsythe's "Artefact" also talked about this gap, when he welcomed the audience to 'what you think you see', etc.). Deleuze suggests that this kind of gap can only be bridged outside these forms and in another dimension.
Maybe it sounds pretentious
to say that it is towards another dimension that is neither just spoken
nor seen that "Kammer/Kammer" invites audiences to focus their attention.
But the performance is nevertheless an invitation to go beyond the good
old, familiar ways of looking at dance in order to try and find something
else. As I already observed, there is a lot of dancing going on all through
"Kammer/Kammer" that somehow a lot of people seemed not to notice. The
dimensions that Deleuze was referring to, and which clearly interest Forsythe,
are probably always there already, but we just haven't noticed them yet.

Facebook, Google and other social media companies have to get their political advertising house in order. The alternative is massive governmental intervention with the sort of restrictive regulations the tech industry loathes.
The question of collusion remains unresolved, but it's irrelevant. The United States cannot tolerate any foreign intervention in our democratic process. This was a priority of the founding fathers, and it is ever more important today.
Online companies' approach to political advertising has been the anything-goes, Wild-West freedom that tech likes to embrace. But accountability and transparency are critical to our democracy. If social media companies can't guarantee the level of public disclosure that newspapers and television and radio stations routinely require for political advertising, Congress will have no choice but to act.
Until last month, Facebook insisted that information about buyers of all ads, including political ads, was confidential. After the 2016 election, CEO Mark Zuckerberg called the idea that misinformation on Facebook changed the outcome of the election "crazy."
But now Zuckerberg, a potential 2020 presidential candidate, finds himself in the embarrassing position of retracting his bombast. On Monday he gave congressional investigators more than 3,000 ads likely linked to Russia.
Facebook also announced it will require disclosure of all buyers of political ads and will allow users to see the ads advertisers have on their political page.
That may not be enough for Sen. Mark Warner. The Virginia Democrat is working with Minnesota Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar on legislation requiring social media companies to keep a public file of who buys election ads and communications, what they paid, how many views were generated and other information.
But in this online world -- what's a political ad? The majority of the Russian ads appear to have fomented division on contentious social issues rather than backing or opposing a specific candidate. The tech industry and lawmakers need to develop a clear definition before legislation can be evaluated.
Facebook has not detailed how it will review the ads placed online. Most responsible newspapers and other publications, for example, review all political ads and reserve the right to reject those that they know include false information.
Facebook, Google and other social media companies should adopt the same standard. They can afford it. Google is expected to rake in $73.8 billion in net digital ad sales in 2017, and Facebook will take in an estimated $36.3 billion.
Social media companies have tremendous potential to do good, but the opposite is also true. They need to bring sunshine to political advertising, identifying sources and rejecting ads whose source is unclear.
Thomas Jefferson didn't see this coming, but he saw the danger of letting foreigners meddle in our democracy. Full transparency is the remedy.

The top of my search history right now is "notepad alternative that won't lose my shit when the power goes out." I REALLY love Notepad–it's simple, light-weight, and focused–except when the power goes out, and I lose all of my to-do lists and documents and other important things that I really shouldn't store in Notepad.
Now, speaking of Notepad. Has anyone else noticed that Microsoft makes lumpy improvements to its products? That is, why can't Microsoft make two good products in a row. For example, let's just look at the last 15 years of products:
Microsoft Office – Productivity Software
- Office 97: Awesome
- Office XP: Buggy, awkward interface.
- Office 2003: Fixed the bugs, nailed the interface.
- Office 2007: Introduced the ribbon, and the other one-billion colors which did not exist in Office 2003. Increased sheet size from 100,000 lines to 1,000,000 lines. Unfortunately, Office 2007 is awkward and ugly.
- Office 2010: Fixed the bugs, made the ribbon awesome.
- Office 2013: Introduced new bugs. Reintroduced the original interface from Office 95, but flatter and with less color. Sheets are still limited to 1m lines, and equations can still only be nested seven layers deep.
Microsoft Windows – Operating System
- MS-DOS. Not too pretty, but gets the job done.
- Windows 1, 2, 3: Uuuh?
- Windows 3.1: Conjures Mac OS reasonably well.
- Windows 95: A great leap forward… into a massively buggy OS.
- Windows 98 (SE): Pretty durn good. A big improvement over Windows 95.
- Windows ME: God-awful.
- Windows XP: A decade on, still the preferred OS for many business environments.
- Windows Vista: Buggy, awkward interface.
- Windows 7: Fixed the bugs, made the interface work. Introduced the window "snap" feature–Microsoft's second great innovation after the Start Menu.
- Windows 8: Eliminated the start button–Microsoft's single best and greatest innovation. The one element of its OS which it can claim credit for. Made its interface sexy and completely unusable.
So, while Microsoft is on a huge losing streak with their current product line, I'm not too worried. I'm sure Microsoft runs two product teams–the team which "innovates", and the team which then takes the feedback from one billion angry users, and turns it into a nice product. Windows 9 may not make any great leaps forward–but I sincerely believe it'll be usable.

A relentless rash that envelops one's body for six to eight weeks, inducing fits of vomit upon anyone who sees it (including oneself) and taking over one's social life and sleeping patterns in the process. Fear it, embrace it, and don't piss it off. Is not contagious and usually affects young adults in order that their college experience be made as humiliating as possible.
is that 12 hickies on your neck?
no, it's pityriasis rosea.

Remember, "natural" food is not the same thing as USDA Organic. Take a look at these Wal-mart fruit bars…(Yes, I found out only later that these are only sold at Wal-mart & Sam's Club and are not really a regular brand. That would have changed my buying decision, but too late now).
I recently bought these at Wal-mart…looking for a better option that isn't so expensive as the one I usually buy. I know, big mistake. First, notice the 100% natural on the box…that does not mean organic!
Ingredients: Strawberries, Pineapple, Mango, Passion Fruit, Coconut Flakes, Water, Cane Sugar, Natural Stabilizers (Guar Gum, Carob Bean Gum, Carrageenan), Citric Acid.
The ingredients look okay though the stabilizers really aren't great for you. Carrageenan is a derivative of seaweed. Some studies indicate that it can cause cancer in animals. People can also be allergic. It can irritate the bowel. You can read more about it online at Charis Holistic Center where there are some nice articles on it.
Really, if you look at the nutrition label these are pretty much just sugar.
Worse than all that, they tasted like rotten fruit! We threw them away. My kids are not picky either, they tasted that gross. Save your money and spend a bit more on the good stuff or freeze your own fruit pops.

In our November 2009 podcast we tackle the Top-10 Cartridge Based Handheld Games. How did we rate? What did we completely forget about? Chime in and let us know.
And, don't forget to VOTE!
I don't see how I could vote for anything but Tetris, but I'm going to wait until I hear all the arguments...
I'm with Bydo, Tetris must be the number one pick. Not only the greatest handheld cart but probably the greatest pack in game of all time. One of the few games that I can remember dreaming about - Playing the damn thing in my sleep over and over again.
Marioland was also great, all that platformy goodness in a handheld and just when you get used to running and jumping it throws in a "shoot 'em up" level as well. Excellent. It's still as enjoyable today - Although I must say it seems to have gotten a lot easier as I've got older.
Zelda: Link's Awakening is fantastic too I still can't believe how they managed to cram in a full blown RPG into the little grey brick it even rivals the SNES version (although not quite there) but the story made me keep playing till i completed it.
Theres probably more i can think off but off to grab the show and have a listen first
Just curious: am I the only person in the world who thinks TETRIS is overrated? I don't hate it certainly, but I just don't get the mass adulation. To me it's a fun but average game. (It doesn't touch KLAX, for instance.)
Just me?
Not many other games or even genres are so universally liked. Resident Evil is popular but some people hate the genre, Halo sells millions but I'm not a big fan.
Puzzlers are almost without exception popular in general.
Before you insult a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you insult him, you'll be a mile away, and have his shoes.

Activision Anthology was really, really well done. It was permanently in the GBA-slot of my original DS, and is a great pick. Definitely deserves to be up there.
I loved playing Klax on the Lynx. It was definitely my most played Lynx game. One of the best arcade to portable game system conversions.
When you think you are a tough avenger, switch the difficulty to A, and then try Ultimate Yars!
Thanks to Scott, I am bidding on this:
Awesome... that is my duplicate copy that I am sellingThanks to Scott, I am bidding on this:
Hopefully, you end up the winner.
Anyway, it seems maybe that you have never played Metroid II: Return of Samus?
In my opinion, it is better than the version of Metroid, but the best version of Metroid was Super Metroid (also known as Metroid 3), and unfortunatly does not diserve to be in this Top-10 list. Perhaps it would have a place in a Top-20, or Top-30 list. Certaintly not anything less than that though as it is a good game (if not a little directionally confusing, like the original Metroid).
As far as I am concerned, Tetris is obviously number one... The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening should be second. In my opinion, it is even better than the SNES version of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
However, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins should also be in there as discussed. Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 should also be in there. In my opinion, it is one of the best Wario games, and should be placed above Super Mario Land 2.
