Section 2. The Levy Court of Kent County is hereby authorized to borrow upon the faith and credit of Kent County, a sum not exceeding Twenty-seven Thousand ($27,000.00) Dollars to be expended in the acquisition of equipment for the Board of Assessors, Receiver of Taxes and County Treasurer and Family Court, including addressograph machines, and other mechanical equipment, and to fund any indebtedness incurred for such purpose, and for the purpose of securing the payment of such sum, to issue bonds in such denomination and at such rate of interest not exceeding five per centum per annum, as the Levy Court may deem expedient. The issuance of such bonds shall not be subject to any debt limitation contained in any law.
Section 3. Bonds issued pursuant to this Act shall be authorized by a resolution passed by the Levy Court. The bonds shall mature in annual installments in amounts and at the times determined by the Levy Court and set forth in said resolution. The first such installment shall be payable not more than one year after the date of the bonds and the last such installment shall be payable not later than twenty years after
the date of said bonds. Interest on the bonds shall be payable semi-annually in each year. Bonds issued pursuant to this Act shall be negotiable instruments and shall be bonds payable to bearer with coupons attached for the payment of interest to bearer, but provision may be made for the registration of such bonds as to principal only or as to both principal and interest. Such bonds may be made subject to redemption prior to their respective maturities with or without premium.
Section 4. The bonds shall be prepared under the supervision of the Levy Court and shall be signed by the Receiver of Taxes and County Treasurer, the President of the Levy Court and the Clerk of the Peace of Kent County and shall be under the seal used by said Levy Court. A facsimile of the signature of each such officer may be engraved or printed on the bonds; provided, however, that at least one such officer shall sign the bonds manually. A facsimile of the signature of the Receiver of Taxes and County Treasurer shall be engraved or printed on each coupon or interest warrant. It shall be the duty of the officers named to execute said bonds when directed by the Levy Court so to do, and it shall be the duty of the Receiver of Taxes and County Treasurer and of the Levy Court to keep a record of said bonds. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on any bonds or coupons shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such bonds, such signatures or such facsimiles shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if he had remained in office until such delivery, and any bond may bear the facsimile signature of, or may be signed by, such persons as at the actual time of the execution of such bond shall be the proper officers to sign such bond although at the date of such bond such persons may not have been such officers.
Section 5. The bonds shall be exempt from all state, county, municipal and other taxation, and the purchaser thereof shall not be obliged to see to or in any manner be responsible for the application of the purchase money; the bonds may be of such form and may contain such provisions as will not conflict with the provisions hereof.
Section 6. The Levy Court shall determine when the bonds or any number thereof may be sold. The bonds shall be sold by the Levy Court at public sale, for not less than par and accrued interest, under such terms, conditions and regulations as the issuing officers may prescribe after notice of such sale published at least ten days before the date of sale in at least one newspaper published in Kent County. Said bonds may be issued and sold as part of a consolidated issue of bonds of Kent County and the bonds need not be separately identified. The resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds may be combined with the resolution authorizing the consolidated issue.
Section 7. The bonds, principal and interest, shall be payable at the Farmers Bank of the State of Delaware, at Dover, Delaware, out of money from time to time appropriated for that purpose by the Levy Court; and the Levy Court is directed to pay the interest on the bonds to said Farmers Bank when and as the respective installments mature. The Levy Court in fixing the rate of taxation shall annually, until the first installment of said bonds shall become due and payable, provide for a sum equal to the amount of interest due each year upon said bonds, and as and when said bonds shall mature and become due and payable, shall in like manner provide for a sum equal to the aggregate of said bonds so maturing, which amount shall be set apart by the Receiver of Taxes and County Treasure to be applied to the payment of interest on said bonds and the redemption thereof as they mature.
Section 8. All money received from the sale of said bonds, after the payment of the charges and expenses connected with the preparation and sale thereof, shall be deposited in the Farmers Bank aforesaid to the Credit of the Levy Court in a separate account, and payment therefrom shall be made by the Levy Court by a special warrant upon which shall be printed or endorsed "Kent County Equipment".

Right defends Raddatz debate role
Prominent conservative commentators on Wednesday largely dismissed a story that suggested ABC News' Martha Raddatz will be a biased moderator of Thursday's vice presidential debate because President Barack Obama attended her wedding two decades ago.
Conservative outlet The Daily Caller accused the network of trying to "downplay" that Obama attended Raddatz's 1991 wedding to Julius Genachowski, whom the president later named to head the Federal Communications Commission (and to whom Raddatz is no longer married). The story, which led Drudge Report on Wednesday afternoon, noted that Obama and Genachowski worked together on the Harvard Law Review.
Story Continued Below
ABC News dismissed the implication of bias as " absurd" and the Commission on Presidential Debates has "not given a moment's thought" to the situation. Many conservatives — though not all — seem to agree.
Carol Platt Liebau, who writes at Townhall.com and worked at the Harvard Law Review with Obama and Genachowski, was quoted in the Daily Caller story talking about Raddatz's relationship with Genachowski — she recalled that it was "quite public," and has written that she would be "shocked if she hadn't met Obama at some point."
But she issued a follow-up post after the story ran, saying she didn't think the wedding revelation would "prevent" Raddatz "from doing her job."
"For the record, I want to clarify that I do not believe these connections prevent Ms. Raddatz from doing her job well tomorrow night," she wrote. "I do think they are relevant and that Americans have a right to know about them when they evaluate her fairness and her performance. That's why I have written about them in the past."
The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin, in a tweet to POLITICO, wrote that "this whole mini flap was obnoxious, dumb."
"I have no memory of who attended my 1997 wedding to my ex-wife and I'd like to keep it that way," tweeted John Podhoretz, the conservative New York Post columnist and editor of "Commentary" magazine. "I bet Martha Raddatz is the same." (Separately, he confirmed to POLITICO that he has no problem with Genachowski's connection to Obama.)
Jim Geraghty of National Review quipped on Twitter, "Raddatz won't be easy on [Vice President Joe] Biden because Obama was at her wedding. She'll be hard on him, because Obama gave her a cassette of his speeches."

Editor's note: This story was revised Mar 3 to include comments on the study from a virologist who was not involved in it.
Mar 2, 2011 (CIDRAP News) – Chinese researchers who tested reassortants that combined the 2009 H1N1 virus with H9N2, a subtype that commonly circulates in birds, found that several were more pathogenic then the parent viruses, which they said could pose a pandemic threat.
Their experiments also found that of 127 reassortants between the two viruses, as many as 57.5% had a high ability to replicate, similar to the two parent viruses, which suggests that the two viruses have a high genetic compatibility. The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report was edited by Dr Peter Palese, a well-known virologist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
Though H9N2 is a low-pathogenic virus, it has also been found in pigs, which infectious disease experts have said could be a "mixing vessel" for animal and human flu viruses, producing novel flu viruses with pandemic potential.
Human infections with H9N2 have been reported, and the World Health Organization (WHO) includes the virus alongside H5N1 in its annual recommendations for pandemic flu vaccine candidate viruses.
Unpacking virulence differences
Using reverse genetics, the study group attempted to make all possible 127 reassortants from an avian H9N2 influenza virus and the 2009 H1N1 virus. Then they categorized each into one of four groups based on replication ability.
A total of 73 reassortants showed a high ability to replicate, and the group evaluated the pathogenicity of all of them in mice. Based on those findings, they sorted the viruses into three groups that varied by how sick the mice got. Eight of the reassortants caused more severe disease, based on clinical observation such as ruffled coat, lethargy, and dyspnea, and microscopic signs in lung tissue, which included interstitial pneumonia and bronchopneumonia, edema, hemorrhage, epithelial cell dropout, and infiltration of inflammatory cells.
All eight of the most pathogenic reassortants had the polymerase acid (PA) gene segment from the 2009 H1N1 virus, which the authors suggest is required for the emergence of the most virulent reassortants they tested. Further analysis showed that the basic polymerase 1 (PB1) gene of the 2009 H1N1 virus usually attenuated the pathogenicity of the reassortants, and the neuraminidase of that parent virus typically increased their virulence.
Projecting illness impacts
Though the more virulent reassortants were a major concern, the less pathogenic ones that emerged are also worth noting, the authors state, because they could circulate undetected in mammals, and mutation or further reassortment could also pose a pandemic threat.
Not all of the reassortants that had the PA gene segment from the 2009 H1N1 virus were more virulent that their parent viruses, which the investigators said suggests that other gene segments play a role in pathogenicity.
They said their examination of the sickest mice showed no evidence of systemic spread, but all viruses replicated efficiently in the lungs and showed high polymerase activity. "These results suggested that a high virus load and high polymerase activity were important factors for the virulence of the reassortants in mice," they wrote.
The group concluded that reassortants between H9N2 and pandemic H1N1 could pose a public health threat and that the PA gene segment findings in the most virulent ones could serve as a marker for identifying H9 reassortants that present the greatest risks.
Expert says study breaks new ground
Vincent Racaniello, PhD, professor of microbiology at Columbia University and author of Virology Blog, told CIDRAP News that the study was "heroic," given that the authors made all possible combinations of RNA segments among H1N1 and H9N2. He said the high compatibility between the two strains was unexpected. "But I'm not aware of any other study in which all possible 127 reassortants were generated. Perhaps similar results would be found for other combinations," he said.
It's not clear if the higher pathogenicity of the eight ressortants compared with the parent viruses was unique to 2009 H1N1 and H9N2 or if investigators would find similar results by testing other parent pairs, Racaniello said.
He said he wasn't worried about the pandemic potential of such reassortants for two reasons: findings in mice don't necessarily apply to pathogenesis in humans, and the most important property for the selection of new flu virus variants is transmission, not virulence. "Being virulent doesn't help a virus if it can't transmit," he said.
The finding that the PA gene from the H1N1 virus was required for increased virulence was interesting, Racaniello said. "In 2009 H1N1 the PA gene is of avian origin, and may be more compatible with other avian genes. The avian polymerase is restricted in human cells, and this restriction can be overcome by the presence of the human PA subunit."
The 2009 H1N1 PA gene's effect may be to produce a more efficient polymerase that allows higher viral replication and enhances virulence, though the effect on transmission isn't known, he said. "I think this result would have implications only in cases of reassortants with avian viruses, or viruses with an avian polymerase."
New study plots out H9N2 family tree
In a related development, researchers said that the extensive reassortments that the H9N2 flu virus has undergone shows it has the potential for continued influenza outbreaks in poultry and epidemics in humans.
A group from China that included two scientists from the US Department of Agriculture conducted a sequence analysis of 571 viral genomes from a flu virus database to pinpoint the subtype's genetic and evolutionary characteristics.
They found 74 separate lineages, which showed host and geographic differences. Genotype analysis revealed at least 98 different ones, which fell into seven series according to their hemagglutinin lineages.
Analyses of the internal genes found that H9N2 viruses are closely related to H3, H4, H5, H7, H10, and H14 subtypes.
Because H9N2 viruses have undergone extensive changes that produced many reassortants and genotypes, continued circulation in diverse hosts could lead to future outbreaks in poultry and humans.
They wrote that their analyses offers the world's first full characterization of H9N2's phylogeny and genetic diversity, and they proposed a nomenclature system for identifying all of the subtype's lineages and genotypes that could be helpful for epidemiology, evolution, and ecology studies.
New information from the study suggests that the geographic distribution of H9N2 viruses is larger than earlier studies reported, spanning Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and North America, the authors wrote. Some North American H9N2 viruses have links to Asia and Europe, which they said suggests that the H9N2 viruses have become more complicated.
The phylogenic analysis suggests that the H9N2 virus is very diverse, with permanent lineages established in Asian poultry and with frequent appearances in pigs, especially in China.

The first car I bought entirely on my own was a 1985 Volvo 740 GLE. It was equipped with a VW-sourced, 2.4-liter inline-six turbodiesel good for 107 hp and clouds of black smoke. Considering the engine was originally intended as a generator, its reliability is unquestionable. However, it was not a twin-turbocharged, 500+ horsepower, 5.7-liter Corvette engine, as is the powerplant in this particular specimen. Having had college-years experience with our own GL, we're confident saying no piece of the original suspension is still in place. Moreover, we'll add that barring absurd chassis reinforcement, this Vette-powered box will likely twist itself apart in 10,000 miles. Nonetheless, the Volvette is an 11.9-second quarter-mile monster we'd love to park in the driveway, and also smoke unsuspecting Z06s with. [Hat tip to the_Finn_294.]

My mom and I walked down to the cemetary the day after Thanksgiving.
She wanted to show me our families gravestone's and my husbands family.
She was curious about my husband's family and who they all were,
of course I had no idea.
Most of the dates on the gravestone's were dated from the 1700 and 1800's.
The cemetary is very small, and almost half of the graves were from both families together.
Cemetary is in Waldwick, Wisconsin.
Because both my and my husband's families are buried here together,
I have entered this in the MT.
Comment's welcome and have a GREAT DAY!!!
I am very tired, will catch up with you all later today!

UPDATE: Jury convicts William Balfour guilty on all counts...
Jurors in the Jennifer Hudson family murder trial asked to see two pieces of video during their third day of deliberations Friday.
The jury of six men and six women asked Judge Charles Burns to see videos shown in court of William Balfour's police interrogation and of Balfour's car at Robeson High School where it was dropped off.
The jury may be curious about the timeline of Balfour's whereabouts on the morning of the 2008 murders and whether he had enough time to drop Jason Hudson's SUV on Chicago's West Side.
The judge granted both requests.
Jurors were sequestered a second night Thursday after they didn't reach a decision in the case of William Balfour, the man suspected of killing singer-actress Hudson's mother, Darnell Donnerson; brother, Jason Hudson; and nephew, Julian King.
Experts say it's not surprising the jury is taking so long to reach a verdict.
"If you're going to convict somebody, you want to make sure, even if it seems like the evidence is super strong, that you've gone through, piece by piece, given them their due, before you send them to jail," said jury consultant William Healy.
There is much to consider.
Jurors must weigh the prosecution's theory that Balfour acted in a jealous rage on threats to kill Julia Hudson and her family against the defense theory that Jason Hudson's drug business made the Englewood home a target for his enemies.
Healy said the rule of thumb is typically one day of deliberations for each week of a trial. Testimony in Balfour's trial lasted a little more than two weeks.

Landscape Photography Expert Destin Sparks Wins a Silver Award at the International Loupe Awards
Sydney, Australia -- (SBWire) -- 01/09/2013 --Destin Sparks, an award-winning international photographer, recently won a silver award at the prestigious International Loupe Awards. Sparks, who specializes in landscape photography, was honored for his limited edition print 'The Journey."
Over the years, Sparks has earned a well-deserved reputation as a highly renowned photographer. He is known for his beautiful photographs of the Australian landscape, many of which have caught the eye of collectors across the globe. Most of Sparks' limited edition pieces are considered to be high value pieces of artwork.
Sparks' background story is as interesting as the photographs he captures. Growing up, Sparks had no idea what he wanted to do for a career. Along the way, he took a job as a graphic designer. After a rather serendipitous bet with a colleague, Sparks picked up a camera, ready to prove that he had a talent for photography. As he explains it in an article on his website, Sparks felt an almost immediate affinity for the camera he was holding in his hands.
Sparks' pursued his new-found passion for photography, teaching himself everything he could about the process. His childhood fascination with light and color fueled his interest in his new career. Known for his iconic large-scale signature and limited edition prints, Sparks' work has been featured in a variety of publications, including National Geographic, and he has won numerous awards.
One thing that sets Sparks and his work apart from many other photographers is his equipment. Rather than rely on Photoshop, color filters or the latest and fanciest cameras on the market to take and enhance his photos, Sparks uses traditional transparency film and a 30-year old type of camera he has nicknamed Ferdinand.
"As one of the premiere professional landscape photographers in the world, Destin Sparks is certainly one to take notice of and he now invites you to take in these magnificent photographs and bring them into your own home or office," an article on his website said, adding that in addition to selling his prints online, Sparks also runs a range of photography courses in Australia so that he can share his skills with others.
Anybody who is interested in learning more about Sparks and his work is welcome to visit his website at any time; there, they can browse through a gallery of his photographs and read more about his work.

Much has been said about the first-ever report on U.S. human rights to the UN Human Rights Council, which the Obama administration released to the public this week. Most commentators have focused on how our least patriotic president apologized for America's shortcomings. But there is a more important facet to the report: it establishes a host of new socialist "rights" the administration hopes globalist bureaucrats will help enforce.
Ditching the Constitution: Obama's shift away from our Constitution and God-given liberty is startling. The 26-page report uses the word "progress" 18 times. After mentioning "the original flaw" of the U.S. Constitution, he makes this pivot: "Our commitment to the rights protected in our Constitution is matched by a parallel commitment to foster a society characterized by shared prosperity." In other words, our desire to maintain the barriers our Founding Fathers wisely established in our form of government is equal to our commitment to "spread the wealth around."
Obama affirms that he accepts "all kinds of obligations – both positive and negative – that governments have with regard to their citizens." The reference to "positive obligations" is significant to Obama's view of the Constitution and its "flaw." In a 2001 interview with Chicago's public radio station WBEZ-FM, he complained:
[A]t least as it's been interpreted…the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you, says what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf.
He groused the Supreme Court only offered "formal rights" — for instance, after desegregation, "I would now be able to sit at a lunch counter and order, and as long as I could pay for it, I'd be O.K." A government pursuing "positive" obligations means the government has to provide everyone a certain amount of money, wealth, or status by redistributing other people's money. Maggie Gallagher in her column today notes that the report treats ObamaCare as a basic human right. The rest of the report lists a host of other, unheard of "rights."
Card check: a Fundamental Human Right. Obama goes on to say freedom of organization "protects workers and their right to organize." But some labor organizers have spoken about "the challenges they face in organizing effectively" – like the fact that no one outside the federal government wants to join a union. "Currently there are several bills in Congress that seek to strengthen workers' rights – assuring that workers can continue to associate freely." This is a reference to card check, the system of forming unions that does away with a private ballot and leaves employees vulnerable to intimidation.
Voting six times, a UN Right. The document recounts the history of minority and women voting, claiming there is an ongoing problem (even though the most recent racial voting incident featured Black Panthers threatening to club whitey.) It continues, "The Department [of Justice] recently obtained consent decrees against some jurisdictions" to make sure minorities are not unfairly excluded. One of those decrees was against Port Chester, New York, "designed to cure vote dilution for Hispanic voters." Port Chester's had never elected an Hispanic politician, and its population was 46 percent Hispanic; however, in the words of the New York Times, "many are not citizens." Although these non-citizens are not entitled to any representation, the DoJ forced a remedy: allowing Hispanic residents of Port Chester to vote six times. It did the trick; the village elected its first Hispanic — coincidentally, a Democrat.
Bilingual Ballots and Registering Democratic Voters. The report trumpets securing "meaningful access to the franchise for non-English speaking citizens" (and, undoubtedly, non-citizens, convicts, the mentally insane, and the deceased). Obama believes those who cannot read the English language should vote for the nation's representatives — in higher numbers than they are now. The document reaffirms America's commitment "to increase historically low [voter] registration rates of minorities and persons with disabilities."
Gay Marriage and Gays in the Military. The "LGBT" community made up this report's preferred victim group, saying its "experience of discrimination illustrates the continuing debate among citizens about how we can build a far more fair society." Obama enthused that Congress passed the Hate Crimes law that pastors fear will silence their ability to preach traditional Christian values. He highlights the Supreme Court decision overturning state anti-sodomy laws in 2003, and his decision to extend some benefits to the same-sex partners of certain federal employees. Then he looks to the future:
President Obama is committed to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" statute…The President [sic.] has also supported passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act…Debate continues over equal rights to marriage for LGBT Americans at the federal and state levels
The reference to "equal rights" is important language in a "human rights" document aimed at curbing discrimination. The document states "At this point" Obama merely "supports repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act." But its inclusion marks gay marriage as a "human right" in the eyes of the United Nations.
Equality of Outcome. The discussion of "discrimination" focuses on the fact that minority groups have not attained as much as white Americans. This, Obama insists, must stem from bigotry. "We are not satisfied that whites are twice as likely as Native Americans to have a college degree. The United States continues to address such disparities by working to ensure that equal opportunity is not only guaranteed in law but experienced in fact by all Americans." What he promises is not "equality of opportunity" but equality of outcome — that every ethnic group, and every person, has the "right" to an equal amount of wealth. Every American — smart or dumb, ambitious or lazy, gifted or talentless — will receive the same result as everyone else.
The name for that system is socialism, and Obama regards it as a basic human right.
Feminism. Obama points to his passage of the Fair Pay Act and support for the "Paycheck Fairness Act." He also claims, "Our recent health care reform bill also lowers costs and offers greater choices for women."
Affirmative Action. Obama pledges racial redistribution of wealth through reverse discrimination. He promises enhanced Affirmative Action programs "in the workplace when [minorities] are underrepresented." But he does not confine this to employment. The section on American public education begins: "The United States is committed to providing equal educational opportunities to all children, regardless of their individual circumstances, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender [sic.] or disability." Yet it makes clear that Obama foresees a world in which all education is administered according to race and sex. It "promotes educational equity for women" – who are vastly overrepresented on college campuses – "and students of color," as well as seeking to "strengthen historically Black [sic.] colleges and universities." And he vows federal, state, and local governments will move heaven and earth to "address the factors that contribute to the education 'achievement gap'…particularly African American and Hispanic children." Latinos in particular "find linguistic discrimination a barrier to full participation." This means they have a right to taxpayer-funded bilingual education. Obama is very concerned about discrimination "in the areas of capital punishment, juvenile justice, racial profiling, and racial disparities in sentencing."
Universal Preschool. The document states the Dept. of Education will "provide low-income students and students of color with increased access to early learning and education" — that is, taxpayer-funded daycare. In fact, this has already begun. The report notes that stimulus funds "are being used to promote high-quality early childhood education."
The Right to Illegal Immigration. As I reported yesterday, the human rights report singles out Arizona's immigration law as a violation of illegal aliens' rights.
"Freedom from Want." The report undergirds its commitment to socialism by citing FDR's "Four Freedoms" speech. One of the new freedoms he sought was "freedom from want." This "right" is listed under the section, "A commitment to foster a society where citizens are empowered to exercise their rights" — making clear Obama's commitment to "positive obligations" and the federal government's need to redistribute wealth.
So far, this is the standard, far-Left platform — although expressed more honestly than he ever manages in front of an American audience. The significance of ensconcing all these new "rights" in this UN document is that it creates international legal precedent. In the inaugural report before the UN Human Rights Council, the United States has declared it supports all these as the basic entitlements of every citizen. As the Human Rights Council process continues, a "troika" of three nations will review our report, other international reports, and the testimony of NGOs, then make a series of recommendations to implement these goals. Every four years, the council will grade our "progress." And this world body reserves the right to "decide on the measures it would need to take in case of persistent non-cooperation."
That means if future administrations object to the plan the UN draws up in cooperation with the most anti-American administration in history, they could conceivably be deemed guilty of "persistent non-cooperation." If their lack of cooperation were sufficiently strong — and we were sufficiently weak — it could impose this agenda on the American people against their will. At a minimum, Obama has reduced our standing in the eyes of the world if we reject any piece of his far-Left agenda. This report guarantees we will endure decades of international propaganda that the United States is "not meeting its human rights commitments to the United Nations" — putting us on the same level as China, North Korea, or Iran.
The Obama administration has made its campaign platform the internationally recognized standard of conduct for future generations, all without winning a single vote for much of it.

Economics: Todd Nesbitby Howard W. Hewitt • August 30, 2005 Share:
One might not think of NASCAR, public economics, and applied micro economics all in the same sentence, but Todd Nesbit sees things in a different light.
Nesbit, a Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics, enjoys the outdoors, sports, and NASCAR. He's even managed to merge the unlikely world of NASCAR into his research and work.
Nesbit has been researching the relationship between increased safety features and drivers acting more recklessly. "People don't always realize that's about economics and I just want to try to make economics a lot more fun," Nesbit said.
The Capital University graduate has always been a NASCAR fan. "My dissertation chair had this idea and he tried for eight years to find the data. Because I knew NASCAR, I knew where to get the data. Previously, researchers tried to use street level data where you can't control for weather; you don't know why people are driving fast, you don't know this stuff. With NASCAR, it's a controlled environment. They don't race when it's wet; there are no animals on the track, and you know why they're driving fast.
"NASCAR is a completely controlled environment where we can isolate just the effects of safety."
His research on NASCAR and driver's recklessness is under submission to Southern Economic Journal.
After having a small college experience in Columbus, Ohio, at Capital, Nesbit earned a doctorate at West Virginia University.
"I really enjoyed the small classes at Capital, the interaction with professors and even became real good friends with one professor," he said. "Even though I then went to West Virginia, I really liked the smaller atmosphere."
Nesbit is an avid golfer and played on the Capital men's tennis team. He loves watching football and most any other sport.
Both of his parents were teachers, so following in their footsteps became a natural path.
"I've always had this knack of trying to help people, but again the best way to help somebody is give them the tools to help themselves," he explained. "I'll introduce someone new idea and there will always be those people you can tell are not really catching on. You can explain things a couple of different ways and then you see it click and their eyes light up. It just makes me feel good. I just really like that aspect of teaching."
Hewitt is Wabash College's Director of New Media/Web Editor.

DOCTORAL RESEARCH Hans Johnson, Editor UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO The Effect of Scientific Management on the Development of the Standard Cost System (U. of Oregon, 1973, 206 pp.; 34/12, p. 7385-A)1 by Marc Epstein, in search of "all relevant facts," Epstein reviewed primary source materials on file at the F. W. Taylor Collec-tion of the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, as well as conducting an exhaustive library search. His study con-cludes that "the scientific management movement had an important and direct effect on the development of the standard cost system" and "this effect was due to the requirements of scientific manage-ment in its application in industry." The bibliography of this disserta-tion has been published by The Academy as Working Paper No. 9 and an annotated version appears in the December, 1974 issue of Abacus. The Origination and Evolution of Double Entry Bookkeeping To 1440 (North Texas State U., 1974, 968 pp.; 35/7, p. 3941-A) by Alvaro Martinelli establishes the development of double entry bookkeeping as occurring during the latter thirteenth century. The first part of the dissertation is a refutation of the Sombart thesis followed by a study of how bookkeeping evolved over a period of three centuries. Direct examination of documentary evidence located in the State Archives of Genoa, Florence, Milan, and Venice serves as the basis to study and criticize "economic, political and religious conditions that most likely had a considerable influence on the creation and evolution of bookkeeping techniques and methods." The Archive of Laches: Prosperous Farmers of the Fayum in the Second Century (Duke U., 1974, 219 pp.; 35/8, 5270-A) by Whitney S. Bagnall utilizes as a source of study, a group of papyri discovered in a 1934 excavation, and published in P.Mil. Vogliano., to "discuss certain social and economic facets" of a Greek family living in Egypt under Roman rule. Chapters II and III will be of interest to researchers of ancient times. Chapter III, for example, discusses the 1Volume/Number and page in Dissertation Abstracts International.

What if your boss was one of the greatest fictional monsters in the universe? It could be a terrifying experience, one your career might never recover from.
Or it might not be that bad. After all, some monsters are pretty good at communicating, and at least you know what they're likely to do next. Here are 10 fictional monsters that might make pretty good bosses.
We were wondering which boss you'd like to work for, so we went ahead and asked on our Facebook page. There were plenty of suggestions — including a lot of votes for Cookie Monster, oddly enough — but these were the 10 choices who seemed to win out.
So here are your choices for the monsters you'd most like to work for:
10) The Smoke Monster, from Lost
After all, he's a pretty straight-up guy, when he's not impersonating your dead loved-ones. He's pretty open about his goals, and he might actually reward faithful service if he ever had any. He probably wouldn't mind if you smoked in the office.
9) Sulley, from Monsters, Inc.
If you can't work for the actual Cookie Monster, then Sulley's probably a good substitute, being big and blue and furry and all. And of the monsters on this list, he's probably the nicest, since he wouldn't actually hurt a bug. He's really good to his main coworker, Mike. And at the end of the movie when — spoiler alert! — he becomes the new CEO, he seems like a pretty decent executive.
8) Hellboy, from Hellboy
"He IS the dragon who was supposed to unmake the earth," points out Nathan. Which is a pretty good reason to want to work under someone, if you think about it. And Hellboy is probably the most decent of all the monsters on this list, apart from Sulley. He'd be a boss you'd be able to have a beer with after work. Or during.
7) Jabba the Hutt, from Star Wars
It would always be a party if you worked for Jabba. And the workplace dress code would be pretty nifty too. Just make sure you don't get on his bad side — which is a trap door just a few feet away from him. Also, Jabba has a habit of changing the music in his palace just when you're enjoying it.
6) The Mayor of Sunnydale, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
It's important to specify the pre-giant snake version of Mayor Wilkins — when he was still better at communicating and not quite so devoury. The Mayor may have been a bit smarmy, but he was a good mentor and father figure to Faith, and seemed genuinely pissed when something happened to her. Plus he's one civic leader who's really invested in the town he leads, having been there for the duration.
5) The Jagrafess, from Doctor Who
The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe from Doctor Who is a pretty reasonable boss, and its underlings get to help influence public opinion. "I'd get to work at in Broadcasting!" exults Bradley. And to be fair, if you live in the Jagrafess' world, then you already work for it one way or another. Just make sure you wear a sweater to work.
4) Predator, from Predator
On the minus side, here's a boss who could always sneak up on you at your desk. But on the plus side, the Predator would be a "harsh but fair" boss, says Martin. The trust-building exercises might be a little harrowing, though.
3) Godzilla, from Godzilla
Why not work for the king of monsters? With Godzilla, "at least you would know what to expect," Kip points out. Although there could be some annoying duties: You could be an executive assistant on Monster Island. Or maybe you'd get stuck picking up Minilla or Godzilla Jr. from day care.
2) Galactus, from Marvel Comics
This is the boss who offers the greatest opportunity for career advancement, Turner says: "Good choice. Get a dose of the power cosmic, become a herald, then eventually go your own way." It worked out reasonably well for the Silver Surfer, right?
1) Cthulhu
This was the fictional monster that most people said they would want to work for. "Why serve a lesser evil?" asked Joshua. "It would probably be sleeping at it's desk most of the time," notes John. Although there was one quibble about naming Cthulhu the fictional monster you'd most like to work for. William chose Cthulhu, then added: "Oh wait — you said FICTIONAL! My bad."

Windows XP users to receive updates Jan. 30
Faculty and staff using Columbus State computers with the Windows XP operating system should plan for an additional 5 to 10 minute computer start-up delay on Wednesday, January 30. Windows 7 computers will not be impacted. (If you are unsure of the operating system you are currently using, the OS Version is displayed at the right center of your desktop screen.)
This is a one-time occurrence that will take place on the first start-up and login of XP computers on or after January 30, 2013. This update will include the removal of Novell Client and could involve up to two automatic reboots depending on software installed on individual computers.
It is very important that you allow the process to complete. The process will automatically start and finish after you turn on your computer and login to the network as you normally would. No further action beyond a normal start up and login will be needed.
There will be messages on the screen that will inform you of the progress and completion of this upgrade and client removal. This change is a required step in the migration of Columbus State to a standards-based Microsoft computing environment.
When the change is completed, the Novell login box will be replaced with the blue Microsoft login screen. If you have questions regarding this change please contact the IT Support Center at ext.5050.

Many community members were informed of governmental roles and other pertinent island treasures during a two-day interactive seminar that featured speaker presentations and field trips to Fort Myers Beach facilities.
The time commitment to learning allowed 20 students to graduate from the free Beach Leadership Conference with Certificates of Completion. The experience, sponsored by the Town of Fort Myers Beach and spearheaded by the Community Resources Advisory Board, might aid in assuming volunteer positions. It could possibly earn them key Town advisory committee assignments that could lead to higher positions, such as becoming a member of the Town Council - like two present Beach Council members. Both Vice Mayor Joe Kosinski and Councilman Dan Andre were at the 2010 Beach Leadership Conference.
The 2013 graduates were Gloria Anderson, Chuck Bodenhafer, Barbara Farrell, Rexann Hosafros, Lois Jorgensen, Sandy Lepley, Deb Maniar, Paresh Maniar, Marylu Marshall, Bud Nocera, Cheryl O'Connell, Curtis Pickett, Margaret Schmidt, Sandy Schofield, Ed Scott, Penny Sharpe, Bill Veach, Catherine Wallace, Becky Werner and Kathy Young.

The 20 attendees of the Beach Leadership Conference take a photo break from their field trip between island facilities. They all graduated from the two-day event later in the day.
"The general response received from the conference attendees was extremely favorable," said CRAB chairperson Miffie Greer, the event organizer.
On Friday, an all-star lineup of speakers included Beach Mayor Alan Mandel, Town Manager Terry Stewart, Vice Mayor Joe Kosinski, Town Clerk Michelle Mayher, Artist/writer Laurie Nienhaus, Town Planning Coordinator Josh Overmyer, Councilman Dan Andre, Town Environmental Sciences Coordinator Keith Laakkonen, Capt. Matt Powell, Fire Chief Darren White, Community Emergency Response Team Leader Alan Vacks and County Manager Doug Meurer.
On Saturday, the attendees visited Beach Elementary School, Bay Oaks Recreational Campus, Matanzas Pass Preserve, Beach Library, Mound House, Newton Park and Bowditch Point Park. At each facility, officials discussed their roles and infrastructures.
"People really got into it on both days with the speakers and the field trip. I've been to all those places before, and I still learned a lot," said Greer.
CRAB members were applauded for their efforts and the liaison to the advisory board was also commended. Greer believes the effectiveness of the conference will hinge on how many people volunteer in the future.
"I think people learned enough to have some good feelings about the town, and that was part of the purpose of the whole conference," she said. "(CRAB liaison) Josh (Overmyer) was wonderful. He really did a incredible job and was always ready to help,"
Here is a short capsule look at what the Friday morning speakers had to offer during their presentations:
n Mayor Alan Mandel His topic was on the Town Council. He reviewed such issues as Estero Boulevard, water utility, Seafarer site, interlocal agreements and animal control. He reviewed county committees that council members are on, the Sunshine Law, downtown development agency, Mound House, public input at meetings, infrastructure and Council term limits.
"We would like you all to know more about the local government and how it operates. Hopefully, when you get to hear what we are working on, get to hear about the various committees, you will become so interested that you'll want to fill some of the openings we have and maybe run for Council," he said.
n Town Manager Terry Stewart Celebrating his 44th year in government work, Stewart explained the role of a manager of a small town and shared career highlights along the way. He discussed referendum language, form of government, decisions, policy approaches, the Town budget and services provided.
"This is a great way to enable people to learn more about your community. It also really opens up the doors for us to gain the volunteers that are so important," he said. "You never know the talent and skills they have within them as well as the knowledge and experience they can bring to a community. Unless we reach out and bring you in and enable you to be a part of our group, we'll never know what talent and skills you bring to the plate.
n Vice Mayor Joe Kosinski An engineer by trade, Kosinski discussed infrastructure, including storm water, Town-owned facilities, the North Estero Boulevard Improvement Project, the future redesign of Estero Boulevard and Town-owned parking areas.
"These are assets of our community. Over the next couple of years, you are going to be seeing a lot of changes on the Beach," he said. "I've been told the redesign work on Estero Boulevard will begin next spring. If not, I would say next summer."
n Town Clerk Michelle discussed the role of the municipal clerk position by stating there had been five failed incorporations before the Town was finally incorporated in 1995. She also went over the Town charter, the 2005 referendum to impose road or bridge tolls, being the qualifying officer for local elections, state legislature and the right to view public records.
"I really am happy to see such a good turnout, because that suggests to me that you are interested in becoming or continuing to be a leader in our community. So, I applaud you," she said. "By the charter, the town clerk shall give notice of council meetings to its members and the public, keep a journal and minutes of the proceedings of the council and its committees, authenticate by signature and record all ordinances and resolutions that are passed by the Council, be the custodian of the Town seal, have the power to administer oaths and perform such other duties as assigned by the Town manager."
n Laurie Nienhaus Arts on the Beach was the topic for this presentation. She mentioned the children 's mural at the Seafarer site, murals on sides of buildings, street performers, professional clowns, musicians and groups devoted to the Arts, such as the Fort Myers Beach Art Association and the Greater Fort Myers Beach Area Friends of the Arts. She also called for volunteers for the upcoming Beach Film Fest.
"The artistic community on this Beach is very productive and vibrant. You likely walk past artists or their art on a daily basis," she said. "Art really does incite community. It gives a community some inner scaffolding to help grow, blossom and thrive.
n Josh Overmyer As an impromptu time fill-in, Overmyer discussed the role of the Town Community Development Department. He spoke about his department's staff, the planning and zoning sides, the comprehensive plan, the land development code, the flood plan review, structures built before current regulations in 2008 and the coastal construction control lines of 1978 and 1991.
"On the planning and zoning side, every property on the island has a zoning category and a future land use category that is assigned to it," he said. "The comprehensive plan basically lays out the vision of the Town's people of how they would like to see the Town develop and continued to be occupied. The land development code tells us the rules and regulations for getting to that goal."

Back on 7 July 2010, in the comfy environment of Hogan Lovells' London office, Professor Lionel Bently addressed the AIPPI UK on "The Future of Copyright Law". Starting with the controversial proposition that the title assumed that copyright did indeed have a future and asserting that the legitimacy of copyright was also a fit and proper subject for academic study, Lionel posed three visions to consider: (i) judicial deepening of harmonisation in the ECJ; (ii) further piecemeal legislation from the EU; and (iii) a European copyright code and unitary European copyright.
If you want to know what Lionel said, there's a helpful and well-drafted four-page summary here.
In 1709 (or was it 1710?) the Statute of Anne created the first purpose-built copyright law. This blog, founded just 300 short and unextended years later, is dedicated to all things copyright, warts and all. To contact the 1709 Blog, email Eleonora at eleonorarosati[at]gmail.com

A Florida woman is facing battery charges after she stabbed two Melbourne Police officers with a syringe as they were trying to arrest her Sunday, authorities said.
Kristen Lacey Monk, 22, is charged with battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence and was booked into the Brevard County Jail following the Sunday morning incident, Melbourne Police spokesman Lt. Pete Mercaldo said. It was unknown whether she has an attorney.

According to Mercaldo, Lt. Dan Lynch and Officer Victoria Falk responded to the area of U.S. 1 and Roosevelt Avenue to investigate a call of possible prostitution.
When they tried to arrest Monk, she took a syringe and needle and stabbed Lynch in the hand and Falk in her finger, Mercaldo said. Both officers later returned to work.

Informatica has played its New Year predictions card in the shape of some strongly worded comments on business data responsibility and information management considerations for the months ahead. Pointing to new and emerging data protection and compliance rulings, Informatica VP of technology for EMEA region Mark Seager says that 2011 marks a new era for data management, as organizations are increasingly more culpable for the data that they manage.
"The explosive growth of the digital universe is instrumental in forcing companies to take responsibility for their data. Businesses are beginning to recognize the strategic value of timely, relevant and accurate data and will continue to focus on this as we move into 2011," said Seager.
In line with Seagar's suggestions, industry analysts also predict a data management surge in reaction to the increasing use of social media applications at the enterprise level. Over the past 18 months, one of the biggest challenges for many companies has been taking tentative steps into the world of social media and creating a brand presence. The next challenge will be to is likely to involve finding effective ways to analyze the data they are now able to gather from these communities in more sophisticated ways.
Informatica's Seagar also points (somewhat logically) to the effects of cloud computing now that it has arguably become a far more integrated element of enterprise IT structures. "During 2011, data will continue to make the move to the cloud and it is essential that companies continue to align their data management strategies with this growing trend. Cloud technology is now an ingrained element of business infrastructures, which must be treated with the same level of investment and coordination as on-premise databases. Private clouds are an entrenched technology but as data moves beyond the firewall, in order to retain control and realize the benefits of the cloud, companies need to avoid business and IT interests taking different paths. Alignment is key to keeping data integrated and in sync so business users know they can trust the data to be relevant and accurate," he said.
