It has only been about two weeks since the release of Warhammer 40k 7th edition and we now have our first Dataslate for the new edition. Though in hindsight it is pretty clear all Dataslates were written with 7th in mind, with their open-ended spamability. Dataslate: Space Marine Strike Force Ultra is a return to large-scale Formations with a special box set tie-in. Much ranting and raving occurred the first time this happened last December, but attaching special rules to discounted models is actually smart marketing, not price gouging for the sane of mind.
Since we know Games Workshop's intention with many of these Dataslates its hard to argue with their thought processes; out of the box, you get an instant army, with its own story, and unique rules. In addition, you get a unique Terminator Captain; another smart move by GW to capture wealthy collectors as well. As for Dataslate: Space Marine Strike Force Ultra itself let us look at what you get for $4.99.
Strength is greatest when focused into an unyielding first.
--Obsidian Glaives 1st Captain Dynares
Dataslate: Space Marine Strike Force Ultra
Chapter I: The Emperors Finest
Chapter II: A Legacy of Might
Chapter III: Datasheets
Chapter IV: Glossary
The first Chapter of Dataslate: Space Marine Strike Force Ultra covers the Formations evolution and how it was added to the arsenal of the Space Marines. Strike Force Ultra was created early on and is an integral formation found in the Codex Astartes. The formation from a storytelling standpoint, is used as a surgical strike force comprising the élite of any Space Marine 1st company.
Outside the genesis story of Strike Force Ultra, the rest of the chapter is running list of generic Space Marine fan fiction, with war stories of Lysander of the Imperial Fist and Agemman of the Ultramarines as minor highlights.
The second chapter is short timeline of famous Strike Force Ultra engagements and isn't anything you haven't read before. The real meat of Dataslate: Space Marine Strike Force Ultra is of course the formations players can use. Luckily, there isn't just one possible formation; something we have constantly seen since the holiday formations were released. So, are the three formations available worth a damn?
Formation: 1 Terminator Captain, 1 Terminator Squad, 1 Terminator Assault Squad, 1 Land Raider Crusader or Redeemer.
Formations Restrictions: Terminator Captain & Terminator Assault Squad must deploy embarked in the Formations's Land Raider
The Terminator Squad must be composed of only five models, and most be deployed via Deep Strike.
The Assault Terminator must be composed of only five models.
Special Rules: Maximum Impact, Swift Deployment
Units from this Formation have the Hammer of Wrath special rule on any turn in which they disembark from this Formation's Land Raider.
This Formation's Terminator Squad can Run and shoot on the turn it arrives by Deep Strike.
Analysis: This formation has some interesting ideas, but the focus on only the Terminators is a major drawback, as is the inflexible nature of the unit construction. Hammer of Wrath for S4 hits isn't all the devastating especially when you only have 6 models at most doing it. Swift Deployment though is tactical asset for any Deep Striking force to avoid template shots.
Formation: 1 Terminator Squad, 1 Terminator Assault Squad, 1 Stormraven Gunship, 1 Venerable Dreadnought
Formations Restrictions: The Venerable Dreadnought and Terminator Assault Squad must deploy embarked in the Formation's Stormraven Gunship.
The Terminator Squad must be composed of only five models, and most be deployed via Deep Strike.
The Assault Terminator must be composed of only five models.
Special Rules: Fury of the Storm, Swift Deployment
Units from this Formation have the Hammer of Wrath special rule on any turn in which they disembark from this Formation's Stormraven Gunship.
This Formation's Terminator Squad can Run and shoot on the turn it arrives by Deep Strike.
Analysis: This formation is just too similar to the previous formation and only really offers the Stormraven as a tactical difference. It is also a lost opportunity, by not giving some special rule to the Venerable Dreadnought. As it is this formation seems like nothing more than an extraneous way to shoehorn a model for people to buy.
Formation: Hammerfall Assault Force Formation, Skyspear Assault Wing Formation
Formations Restrictions: The units in this Formation must adhere to all of the restrictions detailed in each of the corresponding Formation datasheets.
Special Rules: Fury of the Storm, Swift Deployment, Maximum Impact, Ultra Strike
The units in this Formation retain all of the special rules specified in the corresponding Formation datasheets.
As long as this Formation's Terminator Captain is still alive, the controlling player makes Reserve Rolls for any of this Formation's units from his first turn.
Analysis: The the final formation is an epic, with a tactical special rule that makes it quite unique. Not only does it bring an element of Deathwing to the table, but allows you to bring on a flyer on in your first turn! You can also deploy your entire force in reserve for the first turn, now to make sure you don't lose instantly to bad rolling, make sure to take a Comm Relay or Tigurius for some assurances. This biggest drawback with this formation if the point costs; even if you didn't take any upgrades Strike Force Ultra will cost 1485 points, leaving only 15 to spare in a 1500 point army.
Dataslate: Space Marine Strike Force Ultra because of the point investment is a interesting way to play a non-apoc force. If you have dreams of a Terminator army without playing Dark Angels you cannot go wrong with Strike Force Ultra. Since the new edition of Warhammer allows everything to score you won't feel like you have to take Troops to complete the rest of your army. Exploiting the right Chapter though can really help out if you want to get the most out of a Strike Force Ultra only force. Salamanders, Black Templars, and Iron Hands come to mind as the best exploiters of these formations. The Salamander Chapter Tactics really helps this formation with the more Heavy Flamers the better, but the Iron Hands with their reliance is your best choice if you want your units to stay on the battlefield the longest.
In summary...
Dataslate: Space Marine Strike Force Ultra isn't the best Dataslate, but is a fun addition, used properly can be a great storytelling device for any narrative game. As for competitive play, the smaller detachments don't add enough, and there lack the flexibility make them expensive investments without providing clear tactical advantages. The Strike Force Ultra formation itself, while can present many foes with problems, is susceptible like any other élite force to mass shooting and a few bad dice. Unlike the Leviathan Rising series their isn't enough extra filler to make the $4.99 purchase really worth it, but if you are diehard Marine player or just bought the new box set you will get something out of this Dataslate.

Rumor Has It is rated: mongering for spreading pseudo truthieness through leaks and rumors about Warhammer 40k

Last Wednesday (Jan. 31), the Bureau of Land Management announced an end to Obama-era rules originally developed to give local communities more input on energy development projects.
The changes came in an official memo from the BLM. The rules were originally implemented in 2010 and were meant to bring stakeholders to the same table to better plan energy projects on land owned by the federal government, much of it in the West.
While the memo says the reasoning for the changes are to simplify and streamline the leasing process to alleviate unnecessary "impediments and burdens" surrounding oil and gas leases, U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, a Democrat, called the regulatory changes abrupt and said the rollbacks shuts out public comments.
"Local communities, Pueblos and tribes should have a say when development is proposed in their backyards or near sacred or culturally sensitive land. The BLM's decision to shut out public input and to dramatically weaken the review process is part of a pattern of dangerous behavior from the Trump administration, where the interests of industry are prioritized ahead of everyone else," Udall said in a Feb. 2 press release.
Similarly, Trout Unlimited, a national conservation organization often in favor of stricter federal environmental regulations, blasted the BLM's decision. "This move clearly established oil and gas development as the priority use of public lands for this administration."
An auction of over 4,000 acres in the Greater Chaco landscape is planned for March despite an ongoing update to the overall land planning document for the Farmington District Office of the BLM. The completion of that planning document is being accelerated by the Farmington office because of official direction from the Department of Interior to shorten the turnaround time on environmental reviews of energy projects.
The memo came out on the second day of a meeting of a citizens council in Farmington, where several people from the Farmington area and Navajo Nation implored the BLM to slow down its review of oil and gas leasing to better protect community health and culturally important landscapes.
Leasing Federal land that is in a communities sensitive area such as water shed or cultural site has drawn investors to the table. Even if they never drill they can say their leases are worth millions in potential profit and if the community wants it bank they have to pay the leasers for their lost potential. I call it extortion and should never have been leased in the first place. -- If the community can not stop the leasing the best they can do now is to purchase the leases at the auction and hold them until they can get permanent protection.

Out of Patience!
Thursday, January 17, 2013
Well, I did it. I gave in to that damn scale! I have been working hard, getting in 4 days of exercise with cardio and weights, eating within my range, and have been feeling all the benefits: more energy, pride, self-confidence, looser pants, more room in my bras. I have been on track!
And, then, this morning, I weighed myself. I know from past experience this is not a good idea for me in first month of re-starting exercise and proper nutrition. Its interesting I decided to weigh myself anyway -- a little self-punishment, perhaps, for feeling so good?
I have gained a lb. I am working hard at not letting this get to me, but frankly, it has gotten to me. I am angry and frustrated. I am taking it out on myself. I am out of patience with me and with this weight.
I need to give myself a break but I am having a hard time doing it. This is the perfectionist rising up and I want to SIT ON HER HEAD! So, I am telling the scale to f*&$ off right now; it is slow and will catch up. But, boy, this is hard today. I want to hit my spring goal and I want to weigh my goal weight RIGHT NOW. Where is my patience and compassion?
I am going to visualize me sitting on the perfectionist's head today. And, go to my spinning class. HMPH! No more scales until February!

Isn't it just so silly it is to let one moment of weakness and a single pound ruin those feelings of pride and confidence? Obsessing over this (inevitable, if you consider that we are not perfect) stuff doesn't help with progress, and prevents us from being present.
What are you missing out on while you're busy being angry about this? How can you return your focus to being present, and appreciating your growing muscles and energy from healthy eating? I don't know the answer, I struggle with the same things. In fact I could mention a couple of carnitas tacos from Tuesday that I'm still trying to get over!

I am trying to stay away from my scale until February too. It is hard.
Sounds like you are taking the right steps.

Sequent manipulations for an interactive prover such as PVS can be labor intensive. This unsatisfying situation has prompted our research into tactic-based proving. Our goal is to enhance interactive deduction for specialized domains. Manip is a package of PVS strategies (tactics) developed at NASA Langley Research Center. Although it was designed originally to reduce the tedium of low-level arithmetic manipulation, many of its newer features are suitable as general-purpose prover utilities. Besides strategies aimed at algebraic simplification of real-valued expressions, Manip includes syntax-matching and term-access techniques applicable in arbitrary settings.
For higher-level arithmetic simplification, César Muñoz's Field package offers additional automation. Manip can be used as an adjunct to Field to carry out lower-level steps as needed.
Users of PVS 5.0 or higher now have Manip and Field built in to the PVS distribution. No downloads are needed, with the possible exception of the Manip 1.3 User's Manual.
For users of PVS 4.2, NASA Langley's PVS libraries already should have Manip and Field installed as part of the full library distribution. Manip 1.2 is included in the libraries for PVS 4.2.
Note: The tag identifies links that are outside of the NASA domain.
Manip is now quite mature. It has been exercised successfully for nearly ten years by users at NASA Langley and also at a few other sites. Further development in the near future is not anticipated, although enhancements are possible if the need arises. Feedback of any kind is still encouraged. We also welcome users to build on these features when developing their own personal strategies.Ben L. Di Vito : firstname.lastname@example.com

Laurence R. Fieber
Biographical Sketch
Larry Fieber is widely recognized as a highly accomplished visionary educator and educational leader who embraces change and challenge.
Larry began his career in public education as a social studies teacher at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School in Princeton Junction, NJ. There he developed and implemented the popular and highly acclaimed Washington Seminar that annually provided over 100 students the opportunity to study public affairs and the foundations of the U.S. Government in Washington, D.C. Larry also served as an assistant principal at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School before being selected as the educational leader charged with responsibility for closing a dilapidated, underperforming urban rim school, and planning for and opening a new school to replace the previous facility.
During his ten-year tenure as the principal of the Parkway School in Ewing, New Jersey, Larry significantly raised student academic achievement and improved behavioral performance, earning the school both local and state recognition for excellence. The new school was also recognized by The College of New Jersey as a "laboratory school," where student teachers learned from practicing teachers while providing instructional support to students.
After leaving the Parkway School, Larry was recruited to re-establish stability in the Princeton Young Achievers program in three after-school neighborhood centers. He was able to restore sound fiscal accountability and effective management practices within three months of appointment.
Continuing his commitment to public education, Larry took on the new challenge of advancing Standard & Poor's national website, SchoolMatters.com, which provided parents and taxpayers with transparent school and school district performance data via a publicly-accessible, interactive website. During his tenure with S&P, Larry presented to audiences nationally regarding data interpretation and data-based decision making.
Currently, Larry serves as the Executive Director of the Center for Future Educators at The College of New Jersey and as the State Director of the New Jersey Future Educators Association. Through the Center and the NJFEA, Larry works to inspire, encourage, and recruit high school and middle school students who are considering teaching as a future career, particularly in high poverty and hard-to-staff schools and subject areas.
One of the premier initiatives offered through the Center for Future Educators is the nationally acclaimed Urban Teacher Academy program, which Larry developed and launched at The College of New Jersey in 2006. Now under the auspices of the Center for Future Educators, the UTA program draws record numbers of applicants and continues to provide high school juniors with an intensive summer experience in teaching in urban centers, including addressing the educational, social, and economic challenges faced in urban communities.
Larry also introduced to New Jersey and facilitated the Tomorrow's Teachers Training program, developed by the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention and Advancement (CERRA). The program was designed as a junior/senior elective course targeted to attract and recruit talented students into the teaching profession. As of June 2010, teachers from 120 New Jersey high schools were trained to implement this program. Through Larry's collaborative efforts with Fairleigh Dickinson University, high school students now have the opportunity to earn college credit for successfully completing the Tomorrow's Teachers course in high school.
Larry also developed and implemented the first annual New Jersey Future Educators Association (NJFEA) Conference. The inaugural conference was hosted by The College of New Jersey and attended by over 300 high school students aspiring to become teachers. He has since facilitated NJFEA conferences at Rowan University, Montclair State University, and Kean University, in addition to William Paterson University and Princeton University coming up later this year.
Also as part of the work of the NJFEA, Larry provides leadership in the development of an effective network of New Jersey Future Education Association chapters, and led the inaugural meeting of the NJFEA at the New Jersey Education Association Annual Convention in Atlantic City last year. He also recruited and provided leadership training for the first student state officers to guide the NJFEA. This past February, Larry took the state officers to the 22nd Annual Future Educators Association International Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, making it the first time ever that New Jersey was represented at the convention.
In addition to serving as the Executive Director of the Center for Future Educators and State Director of the NJFEA, Larry also currently mentors educational leaders throughout New Jersey as part of the Leader-To-Leader Program sponsored by New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Education. He mentors educational leaders in highly economically disadvantaged schools in Pennsylvania, and he was recruited by Lehigh University as an educational consultant to help implement a major, new grant initiative as part of the University's Center for Developing Urban Educational Leaders.
Larry holds a certificate from The Principals' Center at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, a Master's in Educational Administration from SUNY Albany, and a Bachelor's in Political Science from Alfred University. He has also studied educational leadership and administration at the Teachers' College at Columbia University, The College of New Jersey, Rider University, and Rutgers University.
He is certified as a New Jersey Chief School Administrator, New Jersey Principal and Supervisor, Pennsylvania Principal, and as a New Jersey Social Studies Teacher, grades 7-12. He is also a Certified Supervisor of student teachers at The College of New Jersey, Rider University, and Lehigh University.
Larry was featured as "Envisioner Exemplar" in the book Ten Traits of Highly Effective Principals, by E.K. McEwan (Corwin Press, 2003). He was recognized as the National Distinguished Elementary Principal of the Year and the New Jersey Principal of the Year, and was nominated for the Princeton University Teacher of the Year Award. He also served as the 2008 Keynote Speaker for The College of New Jersey's Kappa Delta Pi Honor Society Induction. Larry has received numerous other awards and recognitions, including:
- The College of New Jersey Professional Development Award for School Leadership
- New Jersey PTA President's Award for Outstanding School Leadership
- New Jersey School Boards Association School Leader Award
- West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South Hall of Honor
- New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Golden Lamp Award
- Hayes-Fulbright Scholar to India

Women's Basic Beanie, Step-by-Step
I have gotten so many requests from friends to show them how to make a beanie, and each time, I write everything down really detailed for them, but sometimes it's better to see it being done. Now, anyone can work up their own beanie following along with this tutorial :)
If you would like to see any other patterns done step-by-step, or have any other size requests, drop me a line :)
This pattern is written assuming you know how to do the basic techniques and stitches of making a slip knot, chaining, joining, working a single crochet and double crochet, and fastening off. I do have tutorials coming soon for these, but for now, feel free to send me an email or leave a comment with any questions.
- 185 yards of Worsted Weight Yarn - I used about half a skein (or a little less) of Red Heart's With Love in Iced Aqua
- I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook
- #18 Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
Material Notes:
I've also had the same results with Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn, and JoAnn's Sincerely. I also enjoy using Deborah Norville's Everyday Soft, but have to tweek things a little as I find the yarn to be a tad thinner.
Time Spent:
I have my basic women's beanies done in about an hour and a half.

Part of our professional course portfolio includes undergraduate and postgraduate level modules, available to study as a standalone module outside of the full programme qualification. Giving you the flexibility to study at a pace which suits you, whether for personal development or towards a full academic qualification.
Course introduction
Coaching and mentoring are gaining prominence in both organisations and in academic literature, and research suggests that coaching and mentoring can have substantial impact on individual and organisational performance.
This 15 credit postgraduate level module will encourage you to assess and develop your skills, plus provide you with a safe space to experiment with new approaches, models and techniques examined in the taught sessions. The course critically reviews a wide range of academic literature and research on coaching and mentoring models, theories and impact.
The content is equally suitable for those who are new to coaching and mentoring as it is to experienced professionals, as it is broadly based and explores a wide variety of perspectives examining individual's roles, organisational requirements, contracting for services and the relevance of models and theories to specific contexts.
Who is it for?
This course has proved to be beneficial to:
- People new to coaching and mentoring and who want to explore the concepts.

Amber Valley and Erewash AC athlete Niamh Emerson had her first real test of the seven-event heptathlon in the Inter Girls (U17) age group and came through the challenge in impressive fashion.
Success at the Midland Schools Combined Events Championship (one of six regional heats) leads on to a place at the highly prized English Schools Combined Events Finals.
From the off, it was clearly going to be an intriguing battle at the Sutton-in-Ashfield venue with Niamh, who has amassed more of a pedigree in combined events over the last 12 months than a Crufts champ, facing tough opposition from established girls on the multi-events club circuit. Once more, it was her quality in the final discipline, the 800m, that gave her the winning edge.
Day one was unseasonably cold. It was certainly cold enough to see competitors emerge from blankets to do their run, jump or throw, then scurry back to their fleecy cocoons, and was hardly conducive to good performances. Niamh's first event saw her finish third in the 80m hurdles. In the high jump, she jumped far higher than any of her competitors as expected, given her position as current UK No.1 which gave her a comfortable points cushion in first place before going into the shot.
This was not a high scorer for Niamh and with several of the other girls throwing three or four metres further, she dropped to fourth place. She rallied somewhat with the final event on day one with a fastest time recorded in the 200m to bring her back up to third.
Day two started with a big personal best in the long jump, moving her up to second. Javelin came next, a discipline that has largely not figured in Niamh's training or competition repertoire up until three or four months ago.
Her first two throws landed wide of the sector and a third throw had to be on the safe side. She lost further ground to fourth place, and going into the seventh and final discipline, the 800m, she had a massive 238 points to make up on the leader, who had not been out of the top three all weekend.
Yet being such a strong and confident middle distance athlete, she set off on the two laps in her totally disciplined and focused style to record one of her fastest times of the season which was enough to claw back the lead by just 31 points.
Twelve months ago, she had won the Junior Girls (U15) pentathlon event and it is an exceptional athlete who can move up an age group, take on additional disciplines, and still win against competitors 18 months older than herself.

There's no need for gro-bags to help Carr Hill High School's gardening club grow - youngsters already have bags of enthusiasm for it.
Pupils at the Kirkham school have been getting their hands dirty turning their school allotment into a garden of colour and tending to its homegrown produce.
As well as affording them freshly grown vegetables, including leeks, peas, onions and garlic, the youngsters' work is also helping them to achieve a BTEC Work Skills qualification.
The work undertaken in the garden is teaching the children valuable work and life skills as well as nurturing an interest in horticulture.
Brett Chamberlain, a Year Seven pupil at the school on Royal Avenue, said: "I really enjoy going to Gardening Club so I spend a lot of time there.
"I've helped plant different things and I've learnt how important it is to keep the flowers watered to help them grow."
The youngsters efforts have been helped along thanks to a donation of a water tank, from Polytank in Freckleton, to collect rainwater to be used on the allotment.
Having already reduced their food miles by growing vegetables on site and using the watertank the club now has its sights set on conservation work as teachers hope to attract birds to the area.
English teacher Diane Griffiths said: "The aim of the garden is to have it full of different plants. I'm mad on birds so I'd love to be able to attract some of those into the garden, along with insects, butterflies and other wildlife. We might be able to do a bit of conservation."

text: Consider this hypothetical situation: a practitioner has had a private manufacturer as an audit client for many years. The client has been profitable in the past and there have been no concerns about revenue misstatement in prior audits. During an inventory count, two units of large equipment, each generating $600,000 in profit margin, were segregated and marked as sold. These are material transactions. The practitioner inspected the invoices and purchase orders and found all documentation was in place. Still, he was skeptical about the sales.\nJane Bowen, a lecturer in financial accounting and auditing at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, talks about the likelihood of this scenario taking place and what the auditor could do to mitigate the risk of fraud.\n"It certainly could happen. The first step is to look at what's happening in the broader environment," she says. "For example, the slow economy is taking its toll on many companies, creating pressure to meet bank covenants. This may be an incentive to intentionally misstate revenue and receivables, which helps most covenants."\nSo how do you find out if the misstatement is intentional? Start with the low-hanging fruit. In some circumstances, it can be as simple as taking a look at the company's website or discussing the terms of sale with the sales team to realize there may be "special offers" allowing potential buyers to pay later and even return goods.\n"These are factors that would affect the recognition of revenue or at least the measurement of the amount recognized," Bowen says. "It surprises me that visiting the website is not one of the first procedures an auditor would complete when obtaining an understanding of the entity and its environment. If such special offers exist, the auditor must complete different procedures than simply inspecting documents.\n"There can be a paper trail, but the owner's ability to authorize the recognition of the sales by overriding any existing control can be a concern in some entities," she says. "That's why it's so important to understand the entity, its environment and the assertions."\nBowen offers a few key best practices for auditors to effectively audit for fraud in revenue transactions.\nUnderstand the business and its environment. This includes how it earns and records revenue; the types of revenue and revenue transactions; what's happening in the industry; and the overall economic situation. "Don't bring last year's mentality to this year's audit," Bowen says. "Preparers' objectives and incentives are not consistent from year to year. Economic conditions can put pressures on a business. At the same time, the threat of familiarity is real."\nProfessional skepticism is a manner of critical thinking that you develop; it is not intuitive. Put in practice a process that will alert you to factors that indicate fraud.\nUnderstand which assertions may be affected by the potential fraud risk. In the scenario outlined above, the two assertions that proved particularly important were occurrence and cutoff because the sales had not actually occurred in the current reporting period.\nAlso, revenue recognition criteria were not met.\nOnce risks have been identified, design audit procedures to respond specifically to those risks. These procedures may be different for each type of revenue or revenue transaction.\n"The auditor, especially when dealing with private companies, has to make sure he or she understands the environment well and avoids the threat of familiarity," Bowen says. "In the scenario above, the preparer's incentive, which previously may have been to minimize tax, changed. The practitioner wouldn't likely have anticipated an overstatement of revenue, but when a company is in financial difficulty, the risk of fraud changes."\nFor more information about Canadian Auditing Standard 240 and the auditor's responsibility relating to fraud in financial statements, see CPA Canada's Implementation Tool for Auditors at https://www.cpacanada.ca/mag-fraudrevenuetool.

PROGRESSIVE MINE WORKERS OF AMERICA, INTERNATIONAL UNIONv.NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD.
Author: Major
Before MAJOR, Chief Judge, and KERNER and FINNEGAN, Circuit Judges.
MAJOR, Chief Judge.
Petitioners are here to review and set aside an order of the respondent National Labor Relations Board (hereinafter referred to as the Board), issued on May 22, 1950, pursuant to Sec. 10(c) of the National Labor Relations Act as amended, 61 Stat. 136, 29 U.S.C.A. § 151 et seq., hereinafter called the Act. The Board in its answer has requested enforcement of its order.
Petitioner Progressive Mine Workers of America is an international Union, divided into a number of districts, the largest of which is petitioner District No. 1. In this district is included petitioner Local Union No. 13, which is the labor organization directly involved in this proceeding. (All of such petitioners will sometimes be referred to as the Unions.) Petitioner Randolph Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the company) was on March 24 and 25, 1948, the dates mainly material to this proceeding, engaged in the mining of coal at Tilden, Illinois. Its employees were members of Local No. 13, which had been designated as the bargaining agent and with which the company had a contract due to expire June 30, 1948. Respondents are the Board and two of the company's employees, Charles Chandler and George W. Smith, who were members of Local No. 13. The unfair labor practices alleged and found against the Unions and the company relate to these two individuals.
The Trial Examiner, after hearing, in his intermediate report concluded that the Unions by restraining and coercing employees Chandler and Smith had engaged in unfair labor practices within the meaning of Sec. 8(b)(1)(A) of the Act. The Examiner concluded that the company had not engaged in unfair labor practices within the meaning of Sec. 8(a)(3) and (1) of the Act, and consequently that the Unions had not engaged in unfair practices within the meaning of Sec. 8(b)(2). The Examiner recommended that the complaint be dismissed as to the company, and the Unions exonerated as to the 8(b)(2) violation.
Upon exceptions to the Examiner's report, the Board made its findings and concluded, contrary to the Trial Examiner, that the "Respondent Company constructively discharged employees Chandler and Smith, in violation of Section 8(a)(3) and, derivatively, 8(a)(1) of the Act." And as to the Unions, the Board concluded, "As the conduct of the Respondent Unions impelled the discriminatory discharges effected by the Employer, it is clear, and we find, that the Respondent Unions thereby violated Section 8(b)(2) and 8(b)(1)(A) of the Act." The Board also found, as did the Examiner, that the Unions violated Sec. 8(b)(1)(A), and consequently Sec. 7, because of certain threats attributable to the Unions or their agents calculated to restrain and coerce the two employees, Chandler and Smith. Of the five-member Board, two members (including the chairman), like the Trial Examiner, exonerated the Unions from a violation of 8(b)(2), based upon the premise that the Unions had impelled the company to discharge Chandler and Smith, and consequently exonerated the company from a violation of 8(a)(3). As the order affected the Unions in other respects, the Board was unanimous.
In the beginning, we note the Unions' complaint directed at certain procedural aspects of the case. The Unions contend that the charge contained in the complaint was not made with the Board within six months from the time the alleged unfair labor practices occurred, as required by Sec. 10(b) of the Act. The fact is that the charge filed with the Board by Chandler and Smith was within the six-month period. The argument, however, is that the charge contained in the complaint was different from that made to the Board and, therefore, was not made within the limitation period fixed by the statute. An examination of the charge and the complaint discloses that while the latter was more formal, definite and detailed, it contains substantially the same charge as that made to the Board by Chandler and Smith, and we think the latter was sufficient as a basis for the complaint. It follows that the limitation provision relied upon is not controlling. Complaint is also made by the Unions that the rule invoked by the Trial Examiner for the exclusion of witnesses during the hearing was improperly applied inasmuch as Chandler and Smith were permitted to remain at the hearing while the Unions' officials were excluded. However, the Examiner permitted one representative of the Unions to be present. No showing is made that the Unions were prejudiced by the procedure and we may assume they were not. Moreover, we think the matter was largely within the discretion of the Trial Examiner and, in any event, the action complained of does not affect the legality of the proceeding.
The findings of the Trial Examiner, approved by the Board in support of the charge that the Unions violated Sec. 8(b)(1)(A) and consequently Sec. 7 of the Act, are as follows:
"Local Union President Todd's statements of March 24, 1948, at the homes of Chandler and Smith, when, according to their credited testimony, he said: 'I'm telling you as a friend not to come out to work in the morning. You fellows are stirring up a hornet's nest. There will be trouble out there: guns, knives, and blackjacks * * * I don't know what all * * * I wouldn't go out if I was you.'
"The threats by pit committeemen Owens and Ramsey to Smith and Chandler at the home of Smith on March 25, where they said: '* * * get away from that mine because we're not going to work with you any more * * *. There will be trouble if you come over them [there].'
"Tidwell's statement at Smith's home 'that the Progressive Mine over there is going to stay progressive as long as I am there, if it takes bloodshed to do it.'
"Board Member Galli's statement to Chandler that the latter 'ain't making these boys no report [about his conference with UMW agent] out here at the mine', and
'Pit committeeman Ramsey's or Owens' statement to Chandler ordering him to change back into street clothes 'because he wasn't going to work there * * * the men wouldn't work with him or Smith.'"
We think it unnecessary to describe further the official position held by the persons mentioned in these findings because it is admitted that they were all officials of one or the other of the Unions involved and no question is raised but that they were the authorized agents of such Unions. The Board, as did the Trial Examiner, relies almost exclusively upon the testimony of Chandler and Smith in support of the findings thus made. The Union officials who were found to have made these statements did not deny meetings and conversations with Chandler and Smith at the various times indicated. True, their testimony presents quite a different picture as to what was said on those occasions. We see no purpose, however, in entering a discussion as to the numerous contradictions between the testimony of the officials of the Unions and that of Chandler and Smith. It was the province of the Examiner, and later the Board, to weigh the testimony and decide which version to accept. And it cannot be said that the testimony of Chandler and ...

My point is not in the services Steam offer, it's just game vs game. Disregarding Steam can do everything else like voice chat etc, I just mean that with GOG you pay and download the game and after that you are truly free to do what you want. No DRM. Steam is third party DRM.
That is my point.
Yes with Steam you can still back up the game, play offline etc, but it is all still within Steam. GOG games are completely independent of any service and are easy to install and play. But GOG is a niche service yes, that specialise in older games and for that reason will not get very many AAA or recent titles.
I just like GOG for that reason. When I can I would rather have a game that I can play freely and backup effectively. I get games on GOG when I can, likewise with Steam.
A wise Ghost once told me not so sacrifice your rights for conveniences. While I am not true to that, Steam could easily operate exactly the same as GOG with all their other services to be the ultimate service. No reason to have your games you purchase through Steam, locked to your Steam account and launcher.

With the Senate confirmation hearing of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor less than a week away, both parties are stepping up their daily efforts to frame the coming Judiciary Committee debate.
Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, on Tuesday said the Supreme Court's recent reversal of a Sotomayor decision on workplace discrimination raised serious doubts about the nomination the panel will begin reviewing next Monday.
"As we consider her nomination to the Supreme Court, my colleagues should ask themselves this important question," Mr. McConnell said of the first Hispanic high court nominee, "is she allowing her personal or political agenda to cloud her judgment and favor one group of individuals over another, irrespective of what the law says?"
But on the Democratic side, Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, hailed the American Bar Association's unanimous rating of Judge Sotomayor as well-qualified as well as her endorsement by a series of national law enforcement groups.
Mr. Leahy said an examination by the Democratic staff of the Judiciary Committee of more than 800 criminal cases involving Judge Sotomayor during her years as a prosecutor and judge found her to have a solid record on law and order.
"It can be said with confidence that Judge Sotomayor is unquestionably a consensus judge on criminal justice issues," said Mr. Leahy. "In fact, Judge Sotomayor's criminal justice record proves that she is a moderate judge whose decisions in criminal cases rarely differ from those of her colleagues on the federal bench."

Assessing the Process: Taking Hiring From Good to Great
Your company is growing, and you need to hire to handle the increased workload. Congratulations! Now what?
Points Group is a consulting and marketing agency offering services and products designed to help organizations grow
Your company is growing, and you need to hire to handle the increased workload. Congratulations! Now what?
In the first part of our series, we discussed how to set up your Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) and the role certain areas of your practice (other than billing) play in the process. Training your staff to understand their part in RCM and communicating expectations with your patients is essential to eliminating barriers when achieving a financially successful practice.
In Part 1 of the RCM series, we will explore the key areas to consider before the billing office receives a single claim.
All that being said, here are four rules I have learned to live by in order to produce the best content possible for our clients (while keeping those pesky Google gods happy):
In the healthcare industry, the concept of employee orientation is commonly regarded as showing new hires where they sit, having them fill out their payroll paperwork and then haphazardly exposing them to their daily responsibilities until they come to work and don't have anymore questions.
Is your practice doing enough to attract and engage potential patients? Take our marketing quiz to find out.
At Points, we've taken this concept a step further to include community marketing, which allows us to build relationships within the community as well.
People often ask about the moniker we've selected for our HR department and assume that it's just a popular new catchphrase we've adopted.
An efficient and effective workflow through a medical practice is dependent upon each process working well.
Well, Google initiated a few changes to its algorithm. In effect, Google started to place more emphasis on "quality of content" and since the goal of every website is to rank highly amongst Google's results page, this became priority.
Very often we find that an employee is hired because he or she possesses a certain skill set. Once that employee walks through the door, the knowledge base does not expand.
Twitter has provided the healthcare industry with a platform to express relevant news and advancements within medicine via short, informative "tweets."
HeritX recently announced the appointment of our very own Thomas Hofstetter, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Founder of Points Group, to its Board of Trustees.
Over the past few days, Healthgrades informed agencies, service providers and practices that it will no longer permit 3rd parties to manage the profiles of their clients.
So, you've scheduled your video shoot and taken the first step toward creating a great video for your practice. Now what? Points Group handle the majority of what is involved in prepping for a video shoot, but there are a few steps you can take to make the most of your video shoot.
Creating healthcare content is like putting on a freshly starched collared shirt: it looks clean and sharp, but moving around in it can be difficult.
It appears as though the trend will continue that online videos are solidly becoming a high-value asset in healthcare marketing. For one thing, the sheer volume of video viewers continues to grow from numbers that are already staggering. The result is that using video for your healthcare practice is a "no brainer."
You can now create a post for your Google My Business listing. These posts display as part of the Google My Business listing information in the search results.
Your website is one of your practice's most important assets. When it comes to building a website, there are so many tools available that make it seem like a piece of cake. However, not all tools are created equal.

FAQ – What is a valley on a roof?
Roof valleys are the Vee shaped metal channels that run up and down the 'folds' of a roof.
There are some pictures in the gallery above…
Valley replacements are fairly common – especially on tiled roofs, because the old valleys used to be galvanised and they start corroding with time (especially if they trap leaves). When a rust hole develops on a valley, there will be a leak that gradually gets worst – rather than a sudden big leak.
When the valley gets blocked with leaves and debris, there will be a damming effect and a large amount of water can then pour into the roof cavity. So, valleys are important elements on a roof to be maintained…
The following video shows what happens when a valley on a tile roof has to be replaced on a tile roof.
A while ago, I posted about valleys at my Sydney Roof repair Blog. To save you going there, an excerpt is pasted below:
"Most roofs will have one or several valleys on it.
…And it is the roof element that will deteriorate over time and will need replacement to stop or prevent roof leaks.
Valleys can last for a long time. Even over 20 years. But there are some valleys that have short life spans and this is usually caused by leaves caught in the valley – creating a corrosive environment. When your roof is under trees – especially gum trees, the valleys on your roof will have a short lifespan. This means a frequent roof repair.
What finish should the valley be? …In the case of the Sydney roof in the video above, the valleys were galvanised metal and the roof was under a big gum tree. The sap from the gum tree that drop down with the leaves are very corrosive and this eats away the galvanising coating very quickly. Rust bubbles start forming and soon, holes start to develp and a roof leak starts.
My advice to property owners is to NEVER consider installing any valley that has not got a minimum finish of colorbond. It does not make sense to have to spend money to change valleys too often. It is often more economical to install a colorbond valley at the very start and have the life of your valley increased by another 10 years… So do not even consider a galvanised or a zincalume finish metal valley. Go straight for colorbond.
When to change a valley? Another point to to remember is this. To change a valley on a tiled roof, the ridge capping at the top of the valley has to be removed. Then it has to be reinstated after the valley change. So when it is time to have your ridge capping repointed on your tiled roof, take a good look at the valleys. If they are showing any sign of rust, it makes more sense to change the valley before the ridge capping work. Otherwise, if the valley is changed after the ridge caps are repointed, all the ridge capping work has to be Re-done! again. Not very clever. "

Thanks for the video.Do you have any branches or do you know any roof repairs in Brisbane? I need to fix my valley leakage.

courtesy www.cdc.govDear Readers:
I would ask those of you who are so inclined to join me in prayer for all those affected by the European STEC O104:H4 outbreak.
Preliminary 'reports' are that there are two (or more?) suspected cases among U.S. service members currently based in Germany.
Heavenly Father:
You are the all-in-all of this world and universe and beyond.
We know that your Power is incomprehensible, and we ask you now to spare your children from the ravages of one of nature's most cruel entities, this rogue bacteria.
Please uplift and strengthen those who suffer...fix their bodies that they might bear testimony to your Mighty Work.
Encourage, strengthen and enlighten those who labor in the medical field, that they may prevail in the face of uncertainty.
And when healing is not possible, please, Lord, allow us to understand that we need not fear as long as our faith in You remains strong.
In these days and times, help us to to always remember You first, others next and ourselves last in a true spirit of 'agape'.
Remind us that we are not alone in this world, but that our brothers and sisters are here, too.
We pray these things in our individual traditions, which for Christians is in the Name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit.
AMENReverend Barbara Sexton
"The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"
"Two U.S. servicemembers based in Germany were suspected of being victims of Europe's E. coli outbreak Friday, as European authorities said the outbreak was "stabilizing."
U.S. military medical officers were awaiting test results from samples taken from the ill servicemembers -- and they could be confirmed late Friday or Monday, according to Phillip Tegtmeier, a spokesman for the US military's Europe Regional Medical Command.
"We're testing [for E. coli] as a precaution," he told military newspaper Stars and Stripes on Friday.
One of the U.S. servicemembers, an airman, remains in the hospital at the Spangahlem Air Base, in western Germany.
The other American reportedly affected was treated and released while based in Heidelberg, 48 miles south of Frankfurt.
The two suspected US military cases were among some 2,000 people hit by the E. coli outbreak across Europe, which so far claimed 18 lives, AFP reported."

Megan Frary received the Outstanding Teaching Award at the annual conference of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) PNW Section, held March 31-April 2 in Boise. The award recognizes outstanding classroom performance among teachers of engineering and engineering technology students, and serves as an incentive to make further significant contributions to teaching.
Awardees must make significant contributions to their profession and meet several criteria in the classroom.
Frary was nominated by College of Engineering Dean Amy Moll. In her nomination letter, Moll noted Frary's commitment to her students, her excellent evaluations, her experience with the Boise State Teaching Scholars' program, her work as a faculty associate with the Center for Teaching and Learning, her work with undergraduate researchers and her efforts in founding the MSE Student Club, a chapter of Materials Advantage, a national professional society student organization.
Her name will now be forwarded for consideration in the national contest.
All-Girl Team Ready for Regional Robotics Competition at Boise State
By: Kathleen Tuck
More than 3,000 teams of high school students across the world prepared to design and build robots to strategically breach their opponent's fortifications, launch boulders and capture the tower. It was all part of the annual FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Regional Robotics Competitions being hosted in various cities across the world.
For the first time ever, Boise State University hosted a regional competition; in the past, Treasure Valley students have had to travel to other areas to participate. Several Treasure Valley teams joined teams from around the region at Taco Bell Arena March 31-April 2.
The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges high-school students – working alongside professional mentors – to construct a robot of their own and compete in the ultimate sport for the mind that measures the effectiveness of each robot, the power of teamwork and collaboration, and each team's display of "gracious professionalism."
The regional event also marks the first time the College of Engineering has sponsored a team — the 11-member girl-powered Chickadees, featuring girls from high schools across the valley. The Chickadees had just six weeks to design and build a robot to meet this year's engineering challenge.

Engineering in Action
Amy Moll was quoted in a front-page Idaho Statesman story about the possibility of additional state funds being tied to colleges meeting state education goals, such as graduation rates. Moll noted that additional funds would be a boon to the College of Engineering, which currently faces having to cap enrollment in its mechanical engineering program due to costs associated with higher additional faculty. "We would prefer not to need a cap, to let everyone in their junior year," she said. View the full Idaho Statesman article, "Idaho might give colleges money based on student success"

Boise State Student to Present Research to U.S. Lawmakers
As increasingly smaller devices expand to hold exponentially mind-boggling amounts of information, convenience often pushes out concerns about the security of our data. But as recent high-profile data breaches have shown, the importance of cyber security cannot be ignored.
This issue is at the heart of research Brandon Barker will present to members of Congress April 19-20 at the Posters on the Hill event in Washington, D.C. Barker is a junior majoring in computer science, with a minor in cyber security.
Selection for Posters on the Hill has always been very competitive, with only about 10 percent of applicants accepted to present their research to U.S. senators, representatives, Congressional staff, National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health program officers and the science press corps, among others. Student presenters and their faculty mentors also have been invited to a Young Professional Panel with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

I have 2 dropdownlists, the second (department) cascades from the first (division). I use a jquery script to update the second drop down list. When the user clicks submit, the underlying model is updated, apart from the new value for department. 2 ideas I have for fixing this are; a) Generate a postback. Prefer not to do this because of bad user experience. b) With a JQuery change event, make a call to server side and set a ViewData variable that I can use to update the field in the model later.
However there must be a better way. This is the view;
I want to execute following function after I have called updatepanel.update:Public Sub StartScroller() Me.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Me.[GetType](), "startscroll", "$(document).ready(function () {$('.scrollable').scrollable();});", True) End SubIt doesnt work. I also tried RegisterStartupScript. I would expect the scrollable() method to be executed. But it doesnt.
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upnlCompareLocations" runat="server">

<asp:ListView ID="repLocationsToCompare" ItemPlaceholderID="itemsGoHere" DataSourceID="XMLDSCompare" GroupItemCount="4" runat="server">
<asp:PlaceHolder runat="server" ID="itemsGoHere"></asp:PlaceHolder>
<%# XPath("title&
I have existing report connected to SSAS cube. When I try to change the query and click OK, i get this message "Could not update a list of fields for the query. Verify that you can connect to the data source and your query syntax is correct"
My Query syntax and access to data source dont have any problem. Because fo this issue, i cannot update the query used in the report. How do i resolved this issue?
A thread somewhat simliar to this has been posted before as well, but i just wanted to detail out the issue and circumstances
We have a list with 53 columns and 2600 items(and growing. I know its rubbish, but thats the way it is at the moment). The list was created using SharePoint GUI on a test server, saved as a template with data, and was then imported to the production
environment. I can post the list columns and type if it helps.
Every one in a while, on updating an item, SharePoint throws up the very not so helpful error page with "Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E2F".
We looked into the logs and found that for each suc error, there was a Database level error logged as well.
The error starts with Unexpected query execution failure, error code 3621. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. "The statement has been terminated." Query text (if available): "BEGIN TRAN;DECLARE... and runs for many lines so i
wont post the entire blurb here.
Each time, the item update is successful, despite this error. The list also has an Item Updated event handler attached to it. Every time the update error occurs, the event handler does not seem to be firing.
Anybody can shed light on what is happening. We have tried exporting the list template to another site and everything seemed to work
I want to perform some action when an asp.net textbox value length is greater than 1 character. And for this I wanted to know how to write this check in jquery?
I have created a check like below-
if ($('[id=txtUserInput]').val().length > 2)
{ do some work...}
But its giving me the following error
$("[id=txtUserInput]").val() is undefined
Can anybody let me know the right way of doing this?
I have an array list called Customer. I t holds a list of array list which has the account details.
proj.customer -> collection of arraylist of type customer
proj.customer.account -> collection of arraylist of type account
Account array list holds type account and it has a poperty account balance. How can I query all accounts which has account balance >100
I tried the following one
var Accountlist= from Account accountdetails in proj.customer.accountwhere accountid.balance >100select accountdetails.id
But it is always throwing an error saying cannot cast type customer to type accountPlease help
I 'm gonna query database for photo records. each record include "photo path" where imagesURL stored in string format
I Choses my favorite Juqery plugin to show images. Plugin needs some lines of code like below.
How could I generate these lines

How the concurrent for sharepoint list item are are handled.
if two or more users are working on same item. Then how sharepoint process multiple update request for particular list item.
We have a monitoring tool set to check to see if the home pages for our 3 web apps load in under 60 seconds every 10 minutes. All 3 web apps load in under 3 seconds on every 10 minute check except for one exception. One check every
day one of the web app's home page takes longer than 60 seconds to load. This happens at 11:45PM when there is very little user usage on the environment. The characteristics of this page are as follows: The only thing on
the page is a list view web part which was added by the browser. The page has not been customized with SPD or code at all. The list that it pulls is a simple links list that has 281 items on it. The view
pulls all 281 items and displays them in sets of 100. I cannot find any associated event in the server events and/or SharePoint ULS logs nor are there any daily sharepoint timer jobs running at that time. Our full index happens
at midnight with incremental happening hourly. Our enviroment is 2 WFEs, 1 App/indexer and we have a separate SQL cluster backend.
Could someone lead me possibly in the direction I should take next in my troubleshooting?

I thought that adding the javascript within the ContentTemplate would cause it to run every time the UpdatePanel was updated. For example, I would assume that for the following:
<atlas:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" Mode="Conditional" >
Hello from inside the update panel!!!!
<asp:Button ID="foo" runat="server" OnClick="foo_Click" Text="Click me to postback!" />

would cause the function alert() to run every time the UpdatePanel returns from the button click. This is not the case, however.
How do I do this? My update panel contains a scrolling Div and I
how could i enable check in check out functionality for a custom list? I know this exists for document libraries, but isnt this possible for custom lists?
I'm still relatively new to jQuery (mostly finding things I need online and making simple changes). I have the following piece of code in my MVC app to render a partial view
<% int i = 0;
foreach (var item in Model) { %>

<%= Html.TextBox("MeetingList[" + i + "].Start", String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm}", item.Start), new { @style = "width: 120px;", @class="start" })%>

<%= Html.TextBox("MeetingList[" + i + "].End", String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm}", item.End), new { @style = "width: 120px;", @class = "end" })%>
And I've tried the following to grab each of those 'MeetingList[...' items and add a datepicker to them,
$(".start").each(function(index) {
var $temp = $('#MeetingList[' + index + '].Start');
$("#MeetingList["+index+"].Start").datepicker(); });

Submission + - A contrarian stance on Facebook and privacy (oreilly.com)
macslocum writes: Amidst the uproar over Facebook's privacy maneuvers, Tim O'Reilly offers a contrarian view. He writes: "... let's not make privacy a third rail issue, pillorying any company that makes a mistake on the privacy front. If we do that, we'll never get the innovation we need to solve the thorny nest of issues around privacy and data ownership that are intrinsic to the network era
... With that in mind, I'm willing to cut Facebook some slack. For now."


text: So I've been kicking around an idea for a webcomic called "Harlee & The Dead Man" … it's about a girl who can see ghosts, and on the surface uses her ability to investigate paranormal activity with a skeleton named John (but deep down she is always searching for her best friend who died in a car crash.) hopefully it'll just be a fun story I can work on whenever I have time… maybe i'll run the first one on Halloween, ehhh? stay tuned!

This amazing day tour takes you around the Golden Circle to see three of Iceland's highlights Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir geothermal area and Thingvellir National Park, before heading to Fontana's natural steam baths.
The original sauna was built in the 1920s and was little more than a shack with two compartments, built above the hot spring that bubbles and gurgles below the ground. Today, a modern complex welcomes you to relax with various hot tubs and steam baths naturally heated by Icelandic hot springs. Before returning to Reykjavik, you will be offered some typical Icelandic rye bread which is slow-baked in the natural hot springs.
Duration: 9 hours
Pick up: Pick up at hotels and guesthouses 30 minutes prior to departure.
Operation: All year
Included: Bus fare, guided tour, a taste of rye bread at Fontana Wellness and admission to the Fontana Wellness.
Not included: Lunch and refreshments (other than taste of rye bread).
Bring with you: Remember to bring a swimsuit and a towel. Swimsuits and towels can be rented on the spot.

Obama pisses off Oakland California
As Obama has another fund raiser in Oakland California, more people walk in protest on his policies on medical marijuana.
So all the idiots in Cali that voted for Obama how do you like it now? As protesters take to the street to march before Obamas fundraising event any are mad as hell how these policies are effecting the medical marijuana community and hitting them in the wallets and personal usage.
Here is the kicker many Californians' still want to vote democratic when many republicans are in favor of states rights.
Republicans are not the problem people it lying liberal democrats get it through your thick head.
His told people his policies would not crack down on California state rights but yet again he lied to the people of that state, using the DOJ to crack down and stomp all over states rights.
When will people understand Obama will lie to you so he can stay in office. He would rather put people in jail then let a business that pay tons of money in taxes to bail out this broke ass state.
60% of Americans would vote to legalizes 'POT" yet this administration fails to recognize state rights like Texas on voter ID.
If you think Obama and the DOJ will protect your rights think again. LA is shutting down medical dispensaries as we speak and they create tons of cash for a city that is going bankrupt.
This is just what Obama does, lie to your face, tell you want you want to hear, then go behind closed doors to pander to donors that fund his perverted policies.
Steven Lubell, the attorney who represents several of the city's original dispensaries, predicted. "Is it going to go away?. "It's going to go to a darker side."
