Post subject: It's time for a carbon tax
The recent release of Preparing for the Effects of Climate ChangeA strategy for California prompts me to venture my opinion on why it is not only time, but only fair, to establish a tax on carbon emissions. This report was part of the efforts under AB 32, Californias Climate Change law, and looks at what the changing climate means to Californias economy and infrastructure. Republicans and oil companies tried to suspend that law, a proposal roundly rejected by the California voters.
The effects of climate change are already apparent in California, and will cost untold billionsmost likely trillions, over the next 50 years. Assumptions about climate are interwoven into almost every one of our institutionswater supply, real estate, flood control, and agriculture. The signs of climate change are unmistakableCalifornia has the oldest tide gauge in the country, which shows 150 years of sea level rise and an acceleration of that rise during the last twenty years. The engineers among us realize that even slight increases in sea level rise impair the ability of rivers and streams to drain, and the impacts are certain to propagate upstream, affecting millions of acres of development in the Golden State. California depends on a water supply system that combines local supplies, reservoirs, and a snow pack that provides low cost storage of drinking water. Warming has already reduced the storage capacity in the Sierra by 10% since 1950, and with the apparent acceleration, California will lose about ¼ of its water storage capacity. The report notes that over a trillion dollars of infrastructure is located along the coast, vulnerable to even the lowest estimates of sea level rise. Nearly 70% of Californias economy is generated by coastal counties, and Californias economy represents 12% of the US Economy. (Californias GDP for 2009 was $1.74 trillion, down slightly from 2007. If it were a nation, California would rank 8th in economic strength, slightly behind Italy and Great Britain. In contrast, Alaskas economy, overseen so ably by Queen Sarah, is ranked 46th, with a value of $41 billion. You betcha that oil accounts for much of that. Total mining is 32% of the GSP, with oil development most of mining.)
I will give one example of how vulnerable California and its citizens are to warmingthe current water supply and flood control system for vast areas of the State depends on a system of flood control levees in the Delta , 1,100 miles in length, that were built during the gold rush. Upgrading those levees to meet current standards and reflect sea level rise will cost between $3 million and $10 million a mile, or roughly $6 billion. This scenario is repeated in nearly every coastal stream, many of their bridges, and many of the developed areas of the State. While climate change is certainly an issue well beyond California, it is clear that ignoring the role of carbon dioxide emissions in climate change amounts to a wholesale transfer of risk and responsibility from those who generate, use, and profit from carbon-based energy to the general public. I find it ironic that those conservatives who extol the virtues of the market system are so eager to transfer risk and costs to the public, while they retain the ability to profit without mitigating the impacts of their products. On this issue mrgybe is wrong and Jimmy Carter was right. It is long since past the time to start doing something about it.
What other costs are there that we should worry about? Security for our energy supplies should perhaps be our largest concern. If oil companies had to pay for the security of middle east oil, either in direct security costs or in payments to unfriendly regimes, that would be reflected in the cost of oil. Instead, that security cost is absorbed by the United States Governmentand passed on to you and me. Those costs have been ongoing since 1945, and others have made estimates of the security costs. Estimates done by the National Defense Council Foundation in 2006 put the US tab at defending overseas oil supplies at $137.8 billion. Total US consumption in 2005 was 20.8 million barrels. If I did the math correctly, that is a cost of $6,625 per barrel!
This is hardly a new concept. The following quote comes from Mark Engler of Foreign Policy in Focus:
In August 1987, the New York Times published an editorial with the bold title, "The Real Cost of Gas: $5 a Gallon." Given that, at the time, you could commonly fill up for 99 cents per gallon, and that even the energy crises of the 1970s did not push gas prices above $1.50 per gallon, $5-a-gallon gas was pretty much unimaginable. Yet the Times editorial stated that, "in light of the administration's willingness to risk lives and dollars in the defense of oil from the Persian Gulf the real cost of oil should include the cost of the military forces protecting supplies." It argued for an energy policy that accounted for Pentagon expenditures.
So I would argue that Jimmy Carter was right, we needed to begin using economic measures to reduce our reliance on foreign oil.
Some of the more interesting critiques of our energy policy come from true conservatives (not faux conservatives like Sarah Palin and Rand Paul who rely on energy company funding.) Also from Mark Engler:
The late Milton Copulos was a veteran of the Heritage Foundation, an advisor to both President Ronald Reagans White House and the CIA, as well as the head of the right-wing National Defense Council Foundation. He was particularly concerned with dependence on foreign oil, and he highlighted how oil imports were both an economic boon to unsavory governments abroad and a missed opportunity for domestic investment. In 2006, Copulos argued that, if you add to oil-related defense spending such factors as the economic impact of periodic oil supply disruptions and the opportunity costs of money spent on oil imports that might have been used elsewhere in the economy, the "hidden" costs of the U.S. dependence on petroleum would total up to $825 billion per year.
"To put the figure in further perspective," he wrote, "it is equivalent to adding $8.35 to the price of a gallon of gasoline refined from Persian Gulf oil." At today's rates, that would hike the price at the pump to approximately $11 per gallon, or more than $250 to fill the tank of a typical SUV.
Why didnt we listen to Jimmy? Might the political might of the oil industry have something to do with it? Mrgybe is not the only one who flacks for the oil industry, and money is, as they say, the mothers milk of politics. Heres a recent editorial observation:\
.... In early July, The New York Times reported: "With federal officials now
considering a new tax on petroleum production to pay for [the BP oil spill] cleanup, the industry is fighting the measure But an examination of the American tax code indicates that oil production is among the most heavily subsidized businesses, with tax breaks available at virtually every stage of the exploration and extraction process."
Lets look at the numbersand the profit motives of the oil companies. According to the MTC, using Department of Labor Statistics data, gasoline prices in late 1986 were just under a dollar a gallon, in 1990 dollars. For June 2008, before the full effects of the recession were apparent, gasoline prices were up to $2.56 in 1990 dollars. So the income structure of the gasoline industry generated more than 2 ½ times as much money. The oil industry and conservatives fought any increases in gasoline taxes, either to capture some of the hidden costs or to fund alternatives then. Mrgybe has argued that I am astonishingly naïve to believe that the market defines the price of gasoline, and further argues that modest increases in fuel taxes would ruin the US economy. I would posit that a modest fuel tax of 50 cents per gallon of gasoline would not have appreciably affected the net price, consumption or the economy, and would have left big oil free to rake in more than 2/3 of the increase in revenue.
A number of fairly conservative researchers have written about the decarbonization of the US and world economy in response to the price signals of increasing energy prices. Most of note is probably Roger Pielke Jr., who has been embraced by climate change deniers. Pielke is not, however, a denier. Rather he is a relentless critic of simplistic thinking on climate change, and should be read (but not uncritically) by anyone who is serious about solutions. Pielke describes his recent book thusly:
I argue that if we are going to make progress in accelerating the decarbonization of the global economy then, rather than futile efforts to establish a grand global agreement on targets and timetables, it is far more important to emphasize a more direct approach to innovation in energy technologies with a focus on expanding energy access and lowering costs. To finance these investments, I propose a low but rising price on carbon (or fossil fuels) that is set at the highest level politically possible (which is necessarily low). Instead of seeking to make carbon-intensive energy supplies appreciably more expensive, policy should focus on bringing down the cost of alternatives. Hence my focus is on policies that will accelerate innovation in energy technologies.
Pielke has also tracked the actual decarbonization of different economies over the past 30 years. While I disagree with his hostility to cap and trade,, which has worked in California as a more efficient system to reduce air pollution in the Los Angeles Basin, he is one of the better thinkers out there. Relentlessly conservative, hostile to Obama, and supportive of a carbon tax that would stimulate innovation.
Lest you think I am alone in thinking this way, Terry Tamminen, former head of the Resources Agency in California under Arnold, has written a book titled Lives Per Gallon: The True Cost of Our Oil Addiction.
Finally, I would be remiss to not comment on the difference between true conservatives like Pielke, who are trying to get a more rationalization of energy policy and pricing, and Rand Paul, the self-certified dentist. His drilling gives me a pain. Not merely an apologist for BP, but generally hostile to all regulation of energy. Tell it to the 29 people who died in the Upper Big Bend mine in West Virginia, victims of a mining company whose executive was appointed to the mine safety board by Bush, and whose mines had thousand, that's right thousands, of violations.

The House Energy Bill did not do an adequate job of protecting the steel industry, for one, from foreign competitors off shoring production to non treaty countries.
It did also not adequately promote nuclear energy. We are three decades behind in nuclear facility construction and waste disposal. We should really get plants on line or at least permitted before penalizing utility customers.
Using cap and trade as a deficit reduction tool is bad policy. Reinvest in alternative energy instead with this lease revenue.
A carbon tax may make sense to promote alternative energy and reduce dependence on foreign energy. But, we have to be careful how it is applied and what the revenue is used for. Any new taxes should be gradually introduced to avoid shock on any parts of the fragile economy. Taxes that reflect true costs of a product are good policy.
This approach could also have merit in other areas such as taxing alcohol, sigs, and unhealthy foods.
Reducing the portion of tax generated by income tax and shifting some taxes to consumption based taxes makes sense.

Just a suggestion..........before proposing taxes on an industry, or if one is apparently involved in regulating an industry for many years, it's not a bad idea to have some very basic understanding of that industry. The US consumes 20 million barrels of oil
.......not annually. Sadly, it seems that many in the current administration are also sublimely ignorant of the industries they so pompously decry and demand to regulate further.

OK snarky mrgybe. Making the correction from barrels per day to barrels per year gives a security cost of $20/barrel--or about $.50. Which was pretty much exactly the point I was making. Remember, that captures only one of the externalities. Why are you conservatives so afraid of market forces and the market?

coboardhead--I've not read the fine details of the House Bill; my supposition here is Einstein's--doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is insanity. I would absolutely agree that a direct carbon fee is a much more efficient system to reduce carbon emissions than a cap and trade system. But my objective is to counter the fundamental claims of the denials in the existing energy industry, which run along a few lines of reasoning:
1. It is a tax that is fundamentally unfair because we built this country. You can find that in almost everything Sarah says.
2. Global Warming is not happening, and it is a conspiracy among bearded scientists to weaken this country.
3. Cap and trade won't work.
The environmental literature is replete with criticisms of command and control structures. I studied under economists who fed me lots of literature on economic incentives and dis-incentives as an alternative to regulation, and citing early success in the clean-up of the Rhine from pollution fees. I think the intervening years have taught us that pollution problems, and our understanding of those problems, evolve as new chemicals are introduced and our understanding of the underlying science improves. I think both methods are useful tools, and we should keep efficiency not merely in mind but in the forefront.
The point I'm making on cap and trade is that it was pretty effective in acid-rain regulation and ozone regulation in Southern California. You can see a dated discussion here:

Palin has very publicly and repeatedly begged Obama to visit Alaska's oil fields, ANWR, etc., but
.... he'd rather hang with Hollywood and sports glitterati. An awful lot of the energy pundits on various business and economics shows and channels say the biggest single factor driving our dependence on foreign, especially middle-eastern, oil is Obama administration policies.

Cap and Trade on acid rain was a success. This was, imo, because it was developed and administered to reduce, primarily, emissions from dirty coal plants. A very specific, and domestic, scope.
Expanding to the entire energy domain and the industries that use it, is another issue. NAFTA was developed to deal with trade in a limited arae and look at the complex international issues with that.
Cap and trade may have a place. But, my view is that the complexity is too high. A siplified approach makes sense to me. Start with a gasoline tax to fund mass transit, nuclear development and efficient highways. But, keep it low and offset with other tax breaks or credits. In other words shift taxes; but not using methods that might destroy a particular industry.
World wide global warming policy will require every nation to be involved. If we hobble our industry with carbon trading, another country may just burn that cheap carbon and the atmospheric load stays the same but we loose the jobs.
The direct approach may not work either with energy producing states and corporations fighting it. But, a consumption tax IS similar to a sales tax and shoul represent a shift in the direction of the fair tax.

Google something like UN IPCC Official Admits Redistribute Wealth By Climate Policy and pick your source.
One example:
UN IPCC Official Admits 'We Redistribute World's Wealth By Climate Policy'
By Noel Sheppard | November 18, 2010 | 11:27
Noel Sheppard's picture
If you needed any more evidence that the entire theory of manmade global warming was a scheme to redistribute wealth you got it Sunday when a leading member of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change told a German news outlet, "[W]e redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy."
Such was originally published by Germany's NZZ Online Sunday, and reprinted in English by the Global Warming Policy Foundation moments ago:
(NZZ AM SONNTAG): The new thing about your proposal for a Global Deal is the stress on the importance of development policy for climate policy. Until now, many think of aid when they hear development policies.
(OTTMAR EDENHOFER, UN IPCC OFFICIAL): That will change immediately if global emission rights are distributed. If this happens, on a per capita basis, then Africa will be the big winner, and huge amounts of money will flow there. This will have enormous implications for development policy. And it will raise the question if these countries can deal responsibly with so much money at all.
(NZZ): That does not sound anymore like the climate policy that we know.
(EDENHOFER): Basically it's a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization. The climate summit in Cancun at the end of the month is not a climate conference, but one of the largest economic conferences since the Second World War. Why? Because we have 11,000 gigatons of carbon in the coal reserves in the soil under our feet - and we must emit only 400 gigatons in the atmosphere if we want to keep the 2-degree target. 11 000 to 400 - there is no getting around the fact that most of the fossil reserves must remain in the soil.
(NZZ): De facto, this means an expropriation of the countries with natural resources. This leads to a very different development from that which has been triggered by development policy.
(EDENHOFER): First of all, developed countries have basically expropriated the atmosphere of the world community. But one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole.
For the record, Edenhofer was co-chair of the IPCC's Working Group III, and was a lead author of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report released in 2007 which controversially concluded, "Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations."
As such, this man is a huge player in advancing this theory, and he has now made it quite clear - as folks on the realist side of this debate have been saying for years - that this is actually
an international economic scheme designed to redistribute wealth

or Google's slightly different translation.

Quickies: Qt4 Tutorials, KDE 3.5 Alpha Review, Kontact Introduction
The Qt 4 Resource Centre has tutorials for A Zoomable Picture Viewer and Spying on Signals. *** This KDE 3.5 Alpha review shows us some new features coming soon. *** Alternative KDE file manager Krusader found themselves new web hosting. *** Linux.com introduces us to Kontact. *** Real-time 3D strategy game Boson made a new release with extra smooth graphics and multiplayer support. *** Video player Kaffeine added a GStreamer part in their recent 0.7 release. *** Finally congratulations to Stephan Binner who had to leave aKademy early to start a job packaging KDE for SuSE.
[OT] cp: cannot stat libqt-mt.la
excuse my offtopic post, but I really donno what's wrong with qt-3.3.5, make compiles fine but the 'make install' give error 'libqt-mt.la' is not found.
Since last 3 days I have been trying to build kdebase 3.5svn, but it complains of libqt-mt.la is missing. please help. Google and trolltech (qt-interest) has no info regarding this. Have you got qt3.3.5 successfully compiled?
Message: (make install as root)
configured with:
found the solution to libqt-mt.la
I was compiling QT 3.3.5 in a different folder (not in the source folder) that's why everything got compiled fine but libqt-mt.la was not created in the *build* folder.
Just now I compiled (make) in qt 3.3.5's SOURCE folder i.e., ~/qt-x11-free-3.3.5/ and viola libqt-mt.la is created.
Media Manager and Yellow tooltip :(
nice review liquidat, and you are right that *yellow tooltip* are not good looking. Really the new tooltips are nice.
hey aaron, it's time to see the system tray... lol.
Also the Media Manager is very good/useful for 2 reasons (at least):
1. For newbies
Shouldn't we have somehting like "shortcut" say "CTRL+ALT+M" to RE-Detect the devices, so that advanced users don't have to see the annoying dialog when a new device is inserted (like cdrom, usb disk, camera etc.)
what we really hate is full-automation by the OS/Desktop, So, if we have 2 modes for media detect manager:
1. Newbie mode: prompt dialog on device insertion
but pressing Ctrl+Alt+M will get the popup. in this way both can be happy :), just my 2 paise!
thanks :)
Re: Media Manager and Yellow tooltip :(
I remember Aaron blogging/commenting/emailing somewhere or other that the system tray was impossible to update to the new tooltip style without a complete rewrite.
Pity :(

Re: Media Manager and Yellow tooltip :(
I posted a bug report and had a short talk with Aaron about it:
So we must wait until KDE 4 :-/

Re: Media Manager and Yellow tooltip :(
One thing I want to add: when you like to have a look at new screenshots and mockups, than http://liquidat.blogspot.com/2005/08/kde-40-bunt-und-bewegt-und-zum.html could be interesting for you:
But, as I said, these are all just mockups, and nothing of it is official!
By Roland Wolters at Wed, 2005/09/14 - 5:00am
Re: Media Manager and Yellow tooltip :(
I really like the taskbar in this one http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/5760/mockuptranstext5ec.jpg
it is different from what we're accustomed to (win/mac) yet very familiar to work with.

I like it too! its a new fresh concept that i would see in the next KDE :)

Does Krusaders depend on KDELibs? If so, what's the deal? Isn't Konqueror enough?
By user at Wed, 2005/09/14 - 5:00am
Re: Krusaders
Try it and see. It's Norton Commander/Midnight Commander/DirWork for KDE -- a different model from a desktop/folder oriented file manager, and often much more useful.
By Lee at Wed, 2005/09/14 - 5:00am
Re: Krusaders
No Konqi isn't enough, krusader is just like windows explorer vs total commander on windows. Both have there uses. I can use Krusader almost without mouse. And because of that a lot faster than konqi...
By Boemer at Wed, 2005/09/14 - 5:00am
Re: Krusaders
The design is compleatly different from konqueror: While konqi provides equal panels (which can be shown one aside the other but apart from browsing they're independent) Krusader always has one source- and one target panel. Every operation (well, nearly) works from the source to the target.
By jbaehr at Wed, 2005/09/14 - 5:00am
Re: Krusaders
Different people like different things. Konqueror is a great filemanager, but some people might like something different. And if someone decides to write another filemanager for KDE, who are we to say "you can't do that! use Konqueror instead!"?
Same logic: some people like KDE, while others like GNOME. Both do the same thing, but in a different way. And different people like different things.
By Janne at Wed, 2005/09/14 - 5:00am
Re: Krusaders
I agree, if you like Orthodox File Managers (twin-panel filemanagers) like Midnight Commander or Total Commander, etc. it can't hurt to give Krusader a try, you will probably like it.
Krusader is deeply integrated with KDE. This might be the only real drawback for users that use GNOME, XFce, or other desktop environments, but in the apt-get world even that is not a problem, since all dependencies get resolved instantly.

KDE Runtime Observer
For the Google Summer of Code I did a program called KRO, that works as Prashanth Udupa's Signal Spyer Class. It also includes a containment tree (A QCombo contains a QListBox and a QLabel, a KonqMainWindow about 25 diferent childs...), a signal observer and some search functionalities. All this inside a GUI in which you can slide over time and watch past events and how they flowed.
Just now it works with Qt3, but I plan to support Qt4 ASAP.
The code is at http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/utils/kro/ and tarballs, debs and more info at http://www.monasteriomono.org/programs/kro/

sounds interesting, could be usefull for debugging i guess...

Kaffeine backends
Hi all
I've been browsing kaffeine's webpage a bit, but couldn't find the answer. Does it provide a hook to use mplayer (besides xine and now gstreamer) as a backend ? Also: has it become the defacto media player ?
Here is my issue, I am using kmplayer in Mandriva, but I have to download it from the contributed packages, which is annoying. Especially when there is a new KDE release and I can't upgrade with Mandriva's packages because of kmplayer. I'd love to use the default media player and avoid these conflicts ...
By MandrakeUser at Wed, 2005/09/14 - 5:00am
Re: Kaffeine backends
no, it doesn't support mplayer as backend. but you can have it working using kmplayer in kaffeine.
Re: Kaffeine backends
How does that work ? THere is a config option to embed kmplayer in Kaffeine ? Is it using Kparts ? Interesting
By MandrakeUser at Wed, 2005/09/14 - 5:00am
Re: Kaffeine backends
i copy that,
a more/less default media player in KDE would be nice. maybe some of the current mediaplayer people can join force for kde4?
there is another question, although i think it is a bit offtopic here:
can someone maybe answer these:
i already posted a similar question in this thread about RuDI (some framework to do loose coupling, but appearently not for GUI embedded plugins):
thanks for reading,
By cies breijs at Wed, 2005/09/14 - 5:00am
Re: Kaffeine backends
Not really nonsense, only that there is such a solution for quite some time and is called KMPlayer. I guess that SuSE simply recommends firefox as browser, like the other major distos do, otherwise I can't explain why they ship a video plugin that is known to crash konqueror. Also KMPlayer can easily configured to use Xine as default instead of MPlayer.
By koos at Thu, 2005/09/15 - 5:00am
Re: Kaffeine backends
Sorry, one addition though. I'm talking about the plugin (the kpart) not the video player as stand-alone application, as it's perfectly possible to have KMPlayer for embedding only and kaffeine for 'normal' video.
By koos at Thu, 2005/09/15 - 5:00am
What you see is what you get printing - Maybe not?
I do not know whether wysiwyg printing is important to anybody, but kde and qt certainly have problems with it. After being in existence for about nine years it seems a bit too bad that this great application suite does not have great printing. Moreover, it seems only fair for you to expect good wysiwyg printing after being around for so long. I tracked down the problem to two bugs in bugzilla. If the printing quality matters to the community, I suggest you comment and vote on these bugs because no progress has been made on them in a long time.

The Office of the Registrar
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Passed by Congress in 1974, the Act grants four specific rights to the eligible student*:
- the right to see the educational records that the institution is keeping on the student
- the right to seek amendment to those records and in certain cases append a statement to the record
- the right to consent to disclosure of his/her records
- the right to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office
*Eligible Student: When a student turns 18 years old, or attends a post-secondary institution at any
age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parent(s) or guardian(s) to the student.
Unless the student releases this information to their parent(s) or guardian(s), this
protected information is available exclusively to the student.
Educational Records
Most information provided by a student or created by an institution for use in educational processes is considered to be part of a student's educational records. This includes, but is not limited to:
- personal information
- enrollment records
- grades
- class schedules
- disciplinary records
- transcripts
The storage media in which you find this information does not matter. A student educational record may be:
- an official document on file in a college office
- computer printout from an office
- class list
- data stored in a college maintained information system
Who is Considered a School Official?
A school official is defined as a person employed by the college in an administrative, supervisory, academic or support staff position (including campus police, campus health providers, and student employees); a person or company with whom the college has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Regents; a student serving on an official school committee such as the Student Appeals Committee; or a person assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
What Students Should Know About FERPA
- Student educational records may not be released without the written consent of the student or via one of the many exceptions to FERPA.
- Educational Records (including grades, financial information, and disciplinary records) cannot be released to parents, guardians or other interested parties without the specific written permission of the student.
- "Directory Information" can be released without the student's written permission.
- Students who do not wish their "Directory Information" released outside UT Tyler may opt to have their directory information restricted by completing the Directory Information Non-Disclosure Form.
- Students cannot use the right to opt out of directory information to remain anonymous in the classroom, either in person or in a distance education classroom. Nor can a student who has opted out of directory information prevent an institution from requiring him/her to wear, to display publicly, or disclose a student ID card or badge.
What Parents Should Know About FERPA
- When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a post-secondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents or guardians to the student.
- Educational records cannot be released to third parties (including parents or guardians) without signed and dated written consent from the student.
- There is a detailed list of exceptions at part 99.3 of the FERPA regulations ("education records" defined) and at 99.31. Perhaps the most important exception allows, but does not require, disclosure [of information in student education records] to the parents of a dependent student, as defined in section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (part 99.31 (a) (8)).
- The best way to gain access to your child's college records is with their consent. Nonetheless, as indicated above, if you claim your child as a dependent for federal tax purposes and can provide documentation that your child is a dependent, the University may provide access to his/her education records, as specified in FERPA (see part 99.31 (a) (8)) and in the Student Access to Educational Records which states that prior consent to disclosure of information from student educational records will not be required when notice is made to "appropriate parties in connection with an emergency, where knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals."
- Student disciplinary records are also "educational records" as defined under FERPA. The best practice is for your son or daughter to inform you about any disciplinary charges or sanctions directly. Students can also authorize release of information from their disciplinary files. Upon consent from the student, information from the file may then be discussed with a parent or legal guardian.
What University Officials Should Know About FERPA
- As a faculty or staff member you have a responsibility to protect educational records in your possession.
- You have access to information only for legitimate use in completion of your responsibilities as a college employee. "Need to know" is the basic principle.
- You may never use the Social Security Number, or UT Tyler Student Identification Number, of a student in a public posting of grades.
- Never link the name of a student with that student's Social Security Number or UT Tyler Student Identification Number in any public manner. This includes placing either number in the subject line of an e-mail message.
- Never leave graded tests or assignments in a stack for students to pick up by sorting through the papers of all students.
- Never circulate a printed class list with student name and Social Security Number, UT Tyler Student Identification Number, or grades as an attendance roster.
- Never discuss the progress of any student with anyone other than the student (including parents or guardians) without the consent of the student, unless you can confirm the student has dependent status.
- Never provide anyone with lists of students enrolled in your classes for any commercial purpose.
- Never provide anyone with student schedules or assist anyone other than University employees in finding a student on campus.
- If you are ever in doubt, do not release any information until you contact the Office of the Registrar.

The Foodie:
If you read my column you know my mother is an amazing cook and The Foodie's culinary role model. My mother is like Edward Scissorhands. She could throw a few ingredients up into the air and make something amazing. What a gift!
If my mother is gourmet, my mother-in-law is meat and potatoes. And, that is not a bad thing at all. There is something comforting about the tasty predictability of my MIL's cooking. You always got a protein (usually roast beef – cooked well done – something that shocked my rare sensibilities when I dined at their table the first time), a starch (who am I kidding … it was a potato and it was likely whipped into creamy mashed potatoes by my father-in-law who used the hand mixer which was stored in the box he made of popsicle sticks).
Come to think of it, it struck me that a male was involved in the kitchen. I thought all males did on Thanksgiving was complain that we were missing the four o'clock game.
My mother spent days preparing for Thanksgiving. Soup was always involved. One potato, no — both mashed and sweet. Squash, a green vegetable, turkey with homemade gravy, stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce and several types of pie (one was always pumpkin). The pies were all homemade with my mother's incredible crust which was flaky and buttery filled with a creamy mixture of pumpkin and cream cheese. There was at least one chocolate pie with the scratch pudding which had a film on top, covered with whipped cream. The whipped cream was whipped fresh while the coffee brewed.
My mother's stuffing recipe has a great deal of Italian influence. It includes both sage breakfast sausage and bacon. There is onion and celery, golden raisins, eggs, stuffing croutons, water and homemade turkey stock. Also included is the meat from the turkey neck, the gizzards (the outside cut off), heart and liver (good thing I did not know that when I was a kid … just sayin'). Mom threw it up in the air and it landed safely in the turkey where it would be baked to crispy/soft perfection. I love that stuffing and will make it on Wednesday. I will put some in the turkey and the remaining will go into a well buttered casserole dish along with some homemade turkey stock.
My mother-in-laws stuffing has day old white bread (she breaks it up by hand), celery, onion, butter, water and Bell's Poultry Seasoning. That's it. It is so delicious I can eat it alone. No turkey, no vegetables, no potatoes, just this soft and perfectly seasoned flavored carb ball.
My mother's and MIL's stuffing is so different they are like two different foods. I could make both and it would be just like making white and sweet potatoes … both potatoes but completely different.
My mother-in-law cared for her table but did not obsess. There was no kids table since each table was lined up in a row for a long table filled with family and friends. There are tons of aunts, uncles and cousins in my family. Because of that we were usually at our own house for dinner and had dessert together. The dessert house was the house where my grandmother was (most often at my house as my mother is the eldest of her siblings). At my in-laws you got an eclectic combination of family and friends.
There was one thing that was absolutely the same at each house. Both women prepared their food with love and the knowledge they were doing something positive to gather their family and friends. They only wanted to give them a reason to sit at the table and simply share time, the ultimate gift.
It was with this wonderful family that I began to understand that, as my son described to a neighbor friend, some people you are related to by blood and some people you are related to by love.
Happy Thanksgiving from my house to yours!

DETROIT (AP) -- If you live outside of Michigan but in one of the other Great Lakes states or Ontario, Wayne State University says you can pay only a bit more than the undergraduate tuition for in-state residents. Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Ontario, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania residents are eligible for its Great Lakes Tuition Award, according to the Detroit school.
The program includes a 10 percent surcharge on the in-state tuition rate, which is about $12,000. Out-of-state tuition is about $13,000 more. The tuition award allows students taking 15 credit hours per semester to save about $11,600 each year.
"We look forward to giving a broader array of students the opportunity to take advantage of a very reasonable tuition base to attend this top research university," Wayne State Provost Margaret Winters said Wednesday.
The nonprofit College Board recently reported that the average tuition increase this year among public universities in Michigan was 3.45 percent. Wayne had the largest increase at 8.9 percent.
Nationwide, for in-state students at a four-year public college or university, published tuition and fees increased this year an average of 2.9 percent.
Michigan lawmakers set a cap of 3.75 percent for universities to qualify for a portion of $21.9 million in performance funding. Wayne State University was the only university in the state to exceed the cap and sacrifice the state dollars.

Before making this cake I had two experiences of quince: firstly, as something the Owl and the Pussycat ate by the light of the moon (with runcible spoons, what else?) and, secondly, as that sticky paste/thick jam you get served on a cheeseboard.
I hadn't planned to bake with quince but when browsing the stalls in Borough Market I spotted the lovely big round yellow fruits – looking very much like pregnant apples – and bought them on the spur of the moment, worrying about finding a recipe afterwards.
My next step was to look online for quince cake recipes. There weren't that many in truth. Lots of recipes for paste, few for cake. As with everything in life, Amazon showed me the way – would you believe it sells a cookbook devoted to quince? Silly as it sounds (and trust me, I know it sounds silly) I felt like I had to do right by my beautiful quince so ordered the book. This method of cooking the quince comes from it...I've teamed it with a buttery, sweet pound cake-esque recipe.
If I had to sum up quince I'd say:
gorgeous aroma, like tropical apples
beautiful colour when cooked
lovely delicate flavour and texture
good score in a game of Scrabble
difficult to peel and cut keeping all fingers intact. It is a brute to cut – hard and dense in texture
needs a bit of love and care – in this recipe you have to poach the quince for 2.5 hours before you can even start making the cake
Here are the quince just about to start their 2 ½ poaching marathon:
Here they are at the end of the poaching time; their colour and aroma was just divine!
The texture was akin to pear, but the taste was tropical apple. We were all big fans. Quince and me may only just have met but I see this as the start of a beautiful friendship....if friendship is the right word where one of the 'friends' is always eaten by the other!
For the quince:
500ml water
150g caster sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 cinnamon stick – about 6cm long
3 medium quince – peeled, cored and cut into wedges (about 12 wedges per quince)
For the cake:
250g unsalted butter, at room temperature
350g caster sugar (this isn't a typo!!!)
4 eggs
280g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
150ml double cream
2 tablespoons of the poaching syrup you cooked the quince in.
Start by preparing the quince – this can be done up to 3 days ahead of making the cake.
Place all the ingredients into a large pan and bring to a simmer over a low heat.
Cover the pan and simmer for 2-2 ½ hours or until the quince turns a deep red colour.
Remove from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
Cool to room temperature and then chill until cold.
Cover and chill until needed – the quince will keep for up to 3 days.
Now make the cake: Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan oven 170°C/375°F/Gas mark 5.
Line a 20cm round springform tin with baking paper.
Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Don't skimp on this stage as this is when you get lots of lovely air into your sponge.
While the butter and sugar is creaming, drain the chilled fruit through a sieve (retain the poaching syrup) and pat dry with paper towels.
Beat in the eggs one at a time (to the butter and sugar) and beat to ensure they are well incorporated.
Add half of the flour along with the baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla.
Add half of the cream and beat until combined.
Beat in the remaining flour, followed by the remaining cream and the 2 tablespoons of poaching syrup.
Fold the quince into the batter and spoon into the prepared cake tin – I retained some of the prettier slices to place on top of the batter; I also cut some of the bigger chunks through as I didn't want them to sink in the cake.
Bake for approximately 1 hour 10 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Mine took nearer 1 ½ hours. If the top starts to brown too much, cover loosely with foil.
Leave to cool on a wire rack until the tin is cool enough to handle, then turn the cake out and leave to cool completely.
Serve with a cup of tea – nothing else is needed!
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.

Paperless Post and Its Vision for Artful Invites
Siblings Alexa and James Hirschfeld launched Paperless Post to solve a problem. The young entrepreneurs got the idea after James, planning a 21st birthday party for himself, realized he wasn't satisfied with the existing options for inviting guests – either to send a paper invitation through the post or to send an e-vite for an event that was still two weeks away.
With Paperless Post, the Hirschfelds have found a way to combine the thoughtfulness of old-fashioned paper invitations with the high-tech world of digital communications. Their invitation packages range from free to as much as $100. The more expensive invites have more detailed and beautiful designs.
The Hirschfelds' vision is paying off. Today the company has 50 employees, a million registered users and $12 million in funding. In this episode of Young Visionaries, we talk to Alexa and James about their growth process and what's next for Paperless Post.

The Night Alice Cooper Almost Hanged Himself … Again
A happy family man, secure in his faith, his bank account, his golf game and his lofty status in the rock and roll pantheon, legendary shock rocker Alice Cooper is living the life these days -- especially for a guy who's been faking his own death on an almost nightly basis for decades. But on April 7, 1988, Cooper almost ended up hanging for real when his onstage gimmick went horribly wrong.
Mock executions with the aid of fellow band members and assorted ghoulish accomplices -- using everything from a noose to a guillotine to an electric chair -- have long been an integral part of Cooper's notoriously theatrical stage shows to the delight of his millions of fans. But that's not to say things have always gone as rehearsed since Cooper first began sacrificing himself at shock rock's altar sometime in 1971, usually as a chilling finale to his morbid hit "Dead Babies."
Just a few years into this grizzly routine, the nightly hanging stunt almost took a turn for the tragic when the practically invisible, incredibly strong piano wire tasked with literally saving Alice's neck unexpectedly snapped; luckily, Cooper was able to react in a fraction of a second, whipping his head back just in time to slip through the noose and collapse to the stage instead, unconscious, but still breathing.
As he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in a 2009 interview, it was the guillotine trick that failed him next, almost finishing off the shock rocker in a careless moment. "It was before we knew how to do it safely," Cooper explained. "[One night] I said 'Let's just do it.' And the guillotine missed me by six inches, and that's a 40-pound blade!"
Even more frightening than these two in-concert near misses, however, was the 1988 incident during a rehearsal for Cooper and his band's impending concert tour, because this time, Alice wasn't able to anticipate the faulty piano wire and found himself "hanging loose" in the worst possible way.
Fortunately, an attentive roadie noticed that the carefully orchestrated stunt had gone awry, and after several seconds of more shock rock than Cooper had ever been bargained for, the roadie rescued the singer from what may have been certain death by asphyxiation.
Ever the pro, though, Alice quickly resumed staging his nightly on-stage demise, and continues to do so without further incident to this day for his eager fans -- thus proving that a hanging death may be final, but the show must go on!

Frequently Asked Questions
Animal Holding Facility
How long does an animal stay at the holding facility before it gets adopted?
Once an animal has been entered into the holding facility. The owner has a period of (3) days to reclaim their pet before their rights to ownership cease. After the (3) day period the animal may be adopted to another party by the local PAWS organization or it may be destroyed by euthanasia.
What happens if my pet gets loose and is running at large?
The first step is to call the Police Department to see if they have picked up the animal. If not, advise the dispatcher that the animal is running loose and who can be contacted if it is found. If an officer sees this occurring, or if a complaint is called in, the animal will be picked up and taken to the city animal holding facility. If the owner wishes to reclaim the pet they will have to show proof of current vaccinations and purchase a current city pet license. There will be a minimum $25 holding fee plus any criminal charges that may be filed by the officer for city ordinance violations. Or, the animal can be left at the facility and the local People for Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) organization will attempt to adopt it out.
When is the deadline to license my pet? How much does it cost and where do I go?
You will need to provide proof of current vaccinations, proof of your pet being spayed or neutered, and a completed animal license form. The forms may be found at City Hall, Jefferson Public Library, the Greene County Community Center, Jefferson Veterinary Clinic, Animal Holding Facility at the Jefferson Wastewater Treatment Plant, and the Law Enforcement Center.
The fee schedule is:
One to four pets:
$5.00 per year for spayed / neutered pets
$10.00 per year for non-spayed / non-neutered pets
More than four pets:
$20.00 per year for each additional pet over (4) total, spayed / neutered.
$40.00 per year for each additional pet over (4) total, non-spayed / non-neutered.
It is also a violation of city code for your pet to be without a current license. A pet without a current license will result in the owner being charged with a simple misdemeanor.
Where do I go to adopt a cat or dog?
The City does not adopt animals out. Any adoption of animals is conducted through the local PAWS organization. 515-386-9814.
Where is the animal holding facility?
From Highway 4 (Elm Street), take Russell Street west past Chautauqua Park to 605 W. Russell. The animal holding facility is southeast (on the same property as the Wastewater Treatment Plant).
Who do I call if I have an animal complaint?
If you have an animal complaint, call the Police Department at 515-386-2136. The officer will need to speak with you so he can collect pertinent information needed to remedy the issue.

Will Seattle get a broadband 'public option?'
Jonathan Lawson, Reclaim the Media
Community activist Mike McGinn rode a wave of grassroots organizing energy to victory in Seattle's Mayoral race this month. The new mayor-elect's vision for affordable city-wide fiber broadband was not only a core concern for his campaign, but one of his clearest disagreements with challenger Joe Mallahan. Now that the campaign is won, what's the road ahead for McGinn's vision?Read more.
Global Justice Forward! 1999-2009 People's Summit
People's Summit: Nov 27-29, Seattle. An evening with Amy Goodman kicks off a weekend of workshops, strategizing and plenary discussions on global justice.
Nov. 30 will mark ten years since the World Trade Organization met in Seattle, amidst the epoch-making street protests that shut it down and focused the eyes of the world on the massive injustice of corporate globalization and "free trade" policies. Ten years later, the WTO is still at it; on the 30th itself the organization is hosting a "restart" meeting in Geneva--one week before the UN launches a climate change conference in Copenhagen. These are uncertain times and much remains at stake.
Help commemorate Seattle+10 at the People's Summit, dedicated to re-engaging in grassroots organizing for economic justice, human rights, peace, and environmental sustainability. Help reclaim and amplify our voices with a shared vision for a healthy planet and people. Let's harness the spirit of the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle with a renewed commitment to move global justice forward!
Events start Friday, Nov 27 with Amy Goodman (a benefit for KBCS co-presented by Reclaim the Media), followed by two days of plenaries, workshops and a cross-sector strategy session, held at Seattle University, New Hope Baptist Church and Town Hall. Visit www.seattleplus10.org for a full list of speakers, plenaries, and workshops!Read more.
Mad Hater Dobbs quits CNN
Controversial CNN host Lou Dobbs is quitting the network, he announced today. Dobbs and CNN had come under increasing criticism from media activists across the country offended by Dobbs' record of deceptive, anti-immigrant broadcasts. Organizers of the Basta Dobbs campaign–-a national Latino-led coalition quickly claimed victory. "Our contention all along was that Lou Dobbs – who has a long record of spreading lies and conspiracy theories about immigrants and Latinos – does not belong on the 'Most Trusted Name in News,'" said Presente.org's Roberto Lovato.Read more.
Casa Latina, RTM and Seattle NOW tell CNN: stop Dobbs' media hate
Today, people across the US are telling CNN that their continued support for Lou Dobbs' on-air racism and misinformation is seriously harming their claim to be America's "most trusted name in news." This week, as CNN launches the 4-part miniseries Latino in America, three national campaigns are calling on CNN to rein in Dobbs' fearmongering harangues: Basta Dobbs, Drop Dobbs and Tell CNN Enough is Enough.
In Seattle, Casa Latina, Reclaim the Media, and the National Organization for Women (Seattle Chapter) have joined BastaDobbs' national call for CNN to stop broadcasting Dobbs' daily attacks on immigrants (Dobbs, meanwhile, is rumored to be considering a move to Fox. If CNN is sincere in their desire to woo Latino viewers, they should enthusiastically hand him his hat.)
Add your voice to the BastaDobbs campaign today!Read more.
Will the birthplace of democracy kill freedom on the Internet?
Hannah Miller, Media and Democracy Coalition
This is almost impossible to believe - but it's actually true.
About a month ago, the Obama administration announced its intent to write policy that would protect, by law, the freedom that has allowed the Internet to grow and flourish.
It's no joke that such protection is needed. Repression of the Internet by the corporations that control it has already started.
Last month, Apple told a healthcare reform group that they wouldn't carry a healthcare reform app on their AT&T network for 30 million iPhones because it was "politically charged"...Read more.
Civil rights groups must support Net Neutrality
Garlin Gilchrist, SuperSpade
Civil rights are fundamentally about protecting fairness, equality, and freedom for all people. Net neutrality is about protecting fairness, equality and freedom for all online data. From a values perspective, these two concepts are functionally equivalent.
Unfortunately, these shared values are not convincing enough for some civil rights organizations. The Broadband Opportunity Coalition (which, ironically, has no website) consists of the National Urban League, the Asian American Justice Center, the League of United Latin American Citizens, the National Council of La Raza, and other groups that argue for fairness and equality every day.Read more.
CNN celebrates Latinos - but still hosts racist Dobbs
Basta Dobbs
More than 50,000 of us have joined Basta Dobbs' call for CNN to dump Lou Dobbs! Now it's time to take the next step.
Next week, CNN will launch its new series Latino in America, telling the stories of Latinos across the country. There's just one thing missing: Lou Dobbs. That's right. Four hours about the Latino experience in America, and not a word about the man who spends every weeknight telling lies about immigrants and spreading fear and hatred toward Latinos. Together with award-winning filmmaker Arturo Perez, Basta Dobbs is calling out CNN's hypocrisy with this powerful new video: CNN: Lou Dobbs or Latinos in America? Help grow the campaign by watching the video and sharing it far and wide!Read more.

Nineteen more advertisers back away from Beck
Color of Change
A total of 80 companies are now distancing themselves from Fox's media hate. ColorOfChange.org has confirmed that 19 new companies whose ads aired recently during Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck program have asked Fox to stop their ads from running or pledged to not to run ads on the show going forward. The latest additions include Equifax, Hoffman La Roche, Schiff Nutrition, Subaru, and Toyota-Lexus. This after Beck called President Obama a "racist" who "has a deep-seated hatred for white people" during an appearance on Fox & Friends.
The news comes on the heels of stories that broke throughout British newspapers on Monday, reporting that advertisers seen during Beck's program in England are feeling the heat as well. Diageo, maker of Guinness and Tanqueray, cut their advertising ties with Beck, as did Waitrose, a supermarket chain which is not only taking a stance against Glenn Beck, but also against Fox News Channel as a whole.Read more.
Digital discrimination: why Seattle needs citywide fiber broadband
Over at PubliCola, tech writer Glenn Fleishman is on a roll. An interview with Seattle's Chief Information Officer Bill Schrier elaborates the economic case for why Seattle needs a robust fiber broadband network. In a followup article, Fleishman critiques the very real digital discrimination that persists between the Central District/Beacon Hill cable franchise area and the rest of the city. Improving affordable digital access in these neighborhoods has been a central concern of Reclaim the Media's Seattle Digital Justice Campaign.Read more.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Wednesday evening's night game in Bush Stadium between the Golden Eagles of Tennessee Tech and the Volunteers of the University of Tennessee has been canceled due to inclement weather.
Heavy rains through Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning continue to threaten through the afternoon hours, accounting for unplayable conditions at Quillen Field.
Whether or not the game will be re-scheduled has yet to be determined.

While everyone believes that the college football season begins this week, SEC football fans were treated to a special preseason warm-up on Sunday, as National Bow Tie Day was celebrated. Of course I'm alluding to a popular style that fans at schools like Auburn, Alabama, and Georgia have cultivated and maintained, and that Florida fans have shamelessly stolen. But this year's bow tie fun actually took place in Chicago's Wrigley Square, where The Tie Bar hosted the Guinness World Record-setting attempt for the most people tying a bow tie at the same time.
According to Racked:
As the number of participants grew, so did the money raised for Goodwill. TheTieBar.com committed to donating $15 to charity for each participant to sign up at the event and will ultimately make a $7,500 donation to Goodwill. Additionally, one lucky guest also won a free bow tie every month for the next year in a raffle hosted by The Tie Bar.
I'm always a sucker for giving credit to excellent charitable efforts, so I tip my cap and straighten my clip-on tie for their efforts. Granted, it could have used more shirtless females and possibly some mud, pudding, or pillow altercations, but it is what it is. Hipsters and heroes after the jump.

Salvationists from the Russia Division are warmly welcomed in Sochi as the XXII Olympic Winter Games begin
A WARM welcome greeted the Outreach Team of officers and soldiers from the Russia Division (Divisional Leaders Captains Alexander and Svetlana Sharov) as they arrived in Sochi to begin their Olympic Outreach Ministry. Having left temperatures in the region of -25°C in northern Russia, the team arrived in the city of Sochi, by the Black Sea, to seemingly tropical daytime temperatures between +10 and +18°C.
The Salvation Army Olympic Outreach Team is decked out in colour coordinated jackets and Salvation Army aprons emblazoned with the Red Shield in Russian. The team is providing hot drinks to those who come to the Fun Zone where groups gather to watch Olympic events on a large television screen that has been set up by the local church. More than 200 cups of tea and coffee are shared daily along with a local delicacy, not unlike a bagel. The team is also supplying small calendars with Salvation Army images and details about how to get more information through their website.
Major faith step
Sunday was a special day for the team as they joined together in worship with the church they are working with in the Fun Zone. 'There is something very special when the Body of Christ worships together and serves the community,' said Lieut-Colonel Wendy Walters (Territorial Secretary for Women's Ministries, Eastern Europe Territory). 'This has been a major faith step for the Eastern Europe Territory and we give God be the glory for the lives that are being touched over these days.'
The 2014 Winter Olympic Games are scheduled to take place from 7-23 February 2014.Tags: News

A simple Google search of the term "knee skirt" returns the obvious: A collection of a conservative-leaning knee-length skirts from Lands' End, Sierra Trading Post, etc. Peruse Opening Ceremony's site... and you'll find something entirely different.
Thanks to my friend squealing with confusion on Facebook, I discovered the KYE Leg Wrap, also known as a "knee skirt," just arrived at the high temple of fashion.
The knee skirt is a literal interpretation of the term: Tiny skirts that individually wrap around your knees. But why?
They look a bit like runway versions of the knee pads worn by the bro-sis teams on Double Dare. Fill them fluid and turn them into floaties, or add extra fabric so these knee skirts can double as knee pads, but as they stand now, the tattoo-printed pleated accessory is pretty much befuddling.
Questioning whether this was an early April Fool's joke or a real deal step in the super-weird direction fashion-wise, I did a little digging on the designer. According to Vogue Italia, 23-year-old Detroit-native Kathleen Kye graduated from the menswear program at London's Central Saint Martins two years ago and ultimately launched her brand, KYE, which also offers transparent biker jackets, bubblegum pink shorts with suspenders, and lace-up skinny trousers.
Somehow the knee skirt number didn't make it into our spring trend round-up. And I can't argue with that.

I think most guys would agree that if an attractive woman did this to us we'd wouldent mind at all Is there something I'm missing or are there gasp! And time to think about what women want. Notify me of new posts by email. The coming days and weeks for Taryn were educational. Taryn paused, considering her sexual life with Ned as she turned a page and took a sip of wine. She looked forward to exercising those muscles so they wouldn't be sore.
The majority of men who send nudies aren't very attractive. It is about time that we free the male nude of its taboos once and for all and see it for what is truly is: Or is it just that pornography itself is not their thing?
The anticipation, of course, had lengthened her fantasy-man's cock, and the picture showed him spread, cuffed, and delectably erect.
At least for this photo shoot, we don't want any embarrassed expressions in the pictures.

The iconic image of a soldier lighting up a smoke after a battle may go the way of draft cards. USA Today reports that the Pentagon's health experts are pushing for a ban on smoking in every branch of the service. They cite the high cost of providing care for smoking-related ailments:
Pentagon health experts are urging Defense Secretary Robert Gates to ban the use of tobacco by troops and end its sale on military property, a change that could dramatically alter a culture intertwined with smoking.
Jack Smith, head of the Pentagon's office of clinical and program policy, says he will recommend that Gates adopt proposals by a federal study that cites rising tobacco use and higher costs for the Pentagon and Department of Veterans Affairs as reasons for the ban.
The study by the Institute of Medicine, requested by the VA and Pentagon, calls for a phased-in ban over a period of years, perhaps up to 20. "We'll certainly be taking that recommendation forward," Smith says.
A tobacco ban would confront a military culture, the report says, in which "the image of the battle-weary soldier in fatigues and helmet, fighting for his country, has frequently included his lit cigarette."
Ironically, as the article notes, the Pentagon subsidizes tobacco use on bases now by subsidizing the cost of cigarettes and other tobacco products. That makes it less expensive to maintain the habit, and could have something to do with the fact that a higher percentage of active-duty military smoke than veterans or the civilian population of the US. One quick method to reduce the use of tobacco would be to simply stop lowering the price artificially, but that would not stop it altogether. [See update below.]
Although this news will bring instant and justified reactions in either direction, it's a complicated issue. Smoking causes health issues that the VA has to spend a great deal of money treating later down the road. They could eliminate some of that spending and perhaps apply the resources to other issues (or just save costs outright) if they stopped the smoking culture of the military entirely. On the other hand, we ask these men and women to put their lives on the line to defend our nation and to bring liberty around the world. Is it right to begrudge them the freedom to choose for themselves whether to use tobacco products, a right that the rest of us still have while we're safe at home?
I'd fall on the side of letting the troops make that decision for themselves, but ending the subsidies. What do you think? Cast your vote in this poll:
Update: I've received a few e-mails rebutting the contention in USA Today that the military subsidizes tobacco on bases. What they don't do is charge the state taxes that apply everywhere else, which eliminates the artificial price increases on the product. According to some e-mails, they may have even changed this policy; one e-mailer says that tobacco and other products are almost the same price as off-base prices.
