	Washingtonpost.com: Live Online
		Bill Amend: The foxtrot.com site was a joint venture with my syndicate that slowly turned into a big, complicated, run-by-committee thing that didn't feel very personal in the same way my strip is. It may come back in a new form, but the old huge site isn't something I want to revisit.
		Bill Amend: I've always enjoyed math and science and majored in physics in college, so a lot of the math humor in the strip isn't really done with any calculations (ha ha) in mind, but it's just sort of me writing about stuff I enjoy or think about.
		Bill Amend: Most of the stuff in the strip is made up, but there are certainly influences from my own experiences both as a kid growing up and now as a husband/father.

	Bill Amend Summary
		Amend's strip, featuring the antics of the Fox family, touched a nerve with the public from its inception in 1988.
		Amend also attributes some of the early success of his strip to the "nerdification" of society, because the youngest member of the family, Jason, is something of a "brainiac" and computer whiz.
		Amend attended high school in Burlingame, California where he was a cartoonist on his school newspaper.

	Bill Amend gave up physics for comics. But he puts his geekery to good use in his FoxTrot strip.
		Amend moved about a decade ago to Kansas City, which is also the home of FoxTrot distributor Universal Press Syndicate, but both the artist and the strip went through adolescence on the Peninsula.
		While Amend is closest in age now to Roger Fox, and he's the oldest of four siblings in his own family, it's clear that much of his sympathies still lie with child prodigy Jason.
		Amend, who acknowledges his deadline struggles ("There are a lot of Indiana Jones weeks where I'm unshaven and running from the big ball chasing me"), insists that the strip is only partially based on his own experiences.

	A Bill to Amend the Reauthorized Patriot Act
		There had been considerable controversy over the provisions of section 215 where the Senate bill had a three-part test, and a fourth provision was added to the conference report where the judge had the discretion to grant the order if there was adequate showing in the opinion of the court to pursue a terrorist investigation.
		The bill introduced today would allow the judge to review all of the factors and would not be controlled by this conclusive presumption.
		The bill introduced today also makes a change on judicial review of section 215, which eliminates both the conclusive presumption which was added in on the legislation sponsored by Senator Sununu, and it eliminates the mandatory 1-year waiting period.

		The fate of a bill to raise the general excise tax for Honolulu mass transit grew more uncertain yesterday after a typo was discovered in a veto message sent by Gov. Linda Lingle.
		Just as Lingle was telling legislators that they must amend the tax bill to allow the counties to handle all tax collection, lawmakers discovered her veto notifications were flawed with wrong bill numbers, meaning that the tax bill may become law anyway.
		Before the supplemental proclamations were issued, Lingle was calling for a change in the bills, saying she would not accept simple promises from the Legislature to amend the bill.
