2014 Jeep Cherokee First Drive
Second Time Around: Cherokee Replaces Liberty, the Cherokee Replacement
In the Jeep world, what goes around, comes around, and then goes around again.
The Jeep Liberty replaced the Cherokee and, now, 11 years later, the Liberty retires and the Cherokee returns with an all-new look, all new engines and a unique powertrain setup.
Jeep has dropped the same design fits all sizes philosophy that created the last generation Liberty, the tiny Patriot, and now defunct oversized Commander.
Now, new Jeeps appear to share some common features, but have their own personalities and looks. The 2014 Cherokee carries that new tradition even further with its sharp-cut hood and LED daytime running lights, and quick-looking stance. Rarely do Jeeps look fast while they're parked, but the Cherokee does. It clearly keeps its Jeep DNA with the seven-slotted grille and trapezoidal wheel wells, but there's something different about this Jeep.
When it was first shown at the New York Auto Show, many people dismissed it as the second coming of the Compass. Those detractors are wrong. The 182-inch-long Cherokee is simply the best dual-purpose small SUV available today. It has many carlike features and smooth ride to allow it to take on the likes of the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4 -- America's volume vehicles for small families.
But it also has trucklike characteristics, such as 4500-pound towing, a 56:1 crawl ratio, and a true 4-Lo to give it incredible off-road capabilities. Match it up off-road against the Subaru Forester, and the match would be as fair as the New York Giants against the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl.
On road, where this Cherokee really calls home, I'd park it near the top of the list. That's a big improvement, considering the lackluster Liberty at the end of its run, when it aged as well as Keith Richards.
This vehicle should age better. The key to the Cherokee's success resides in the all-new I-4 and V-6 powertrains. The 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir 2 I-4 creates plenty of juice with 184 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. The electro-hydraulic variable valve-lift system, known as MultiAir, uses a column of oil to actuate the engine's intake values and create a 7.5 percent more efficient engine. Jeep estimates the Cherokee will achieve 31 mpg on the highway and have an overall 45 percent increase in fuel economy. However, Jeep did not provide other mileage numbers, saying EPA testing was not complete.
More importantly, the Tigershark still provides decent pickup for the Cherokee. On the road, the acceleration is smooth, especially considering the new 9-speed automatic transmission. The calibration is also well tuned, allowing for the Cherokee to adjust to acceleration and deceleration demands quickly.
However, I preferred the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V-6 under the Cherokee's hood. A smaller-bore version of the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, this engine has that truck-like oomph with 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. It's gutsy.
The new front independent and rear independent multilink suspension provide an excellent ride on all terrains. Heading through fast corners, the Cherokee's body remains relatively flat and the increased body stiffness gives the Cherokee an extremely quiet ride. Its 106.3-inch wheelbase also seemed to be just about right, smoothing out the ride, but not making this small SUV overreact to driver inputs.
The electric power steering provides a nicely weighted feel and good return to center. It's easy to hold a line through a corner without sawing at the wheel, but also loosens up when off road, which is important.
While the 9-speed automatic transmission on a $24,000 vehicle is impressive, the unique drive system is ingenious. The four-wheel-drive system is based on front-drive engines and transaxles. However, Jeep devised a rear axle disconnect that can stop sending power to the rear wheels when not needed.
But this system is much more than an all-wheel-drive system that Jeep attempts to pawn off as 4x4. It's the real thing. There are three drive systems ranging from Jeep Active Drive I, featuring a one-speed power transfer unit, to the most advanced Jeep Active Drive Lock, the most robust off-road system, which includes a locking rear differential, a low range set of gears, and a two-speed power transfer unit.
All of these different set ups allow customers to select a Cherokee that will meet their needs best. Car campers and highway cruisers should pick the Cherokee Sport. Hardcore Jeep fans might want to consider the Trailhawk.
Furthermore, every Cherokee will include Jeep's Selec-Terrain traction control system that adjusts a dozen different onboard systems from throttle response and transmission shifts to wheel spin and stability control to make the 4x4 system operate in any condition. For example, in Mud/Sand mode, Cherokee can send nearly 100 percent of the torque to the rear axle if needed, whereas in Snow mode, the torque split is 60 percent front and 40 percent rear.
Inside the Cherokee, the interior feels more Grand Cherokee than Wrangler. It's comfortable, complete, and well laid out. There are storage cubbies throughout the cabin, including a smart storage area on the dash and a hidden spot revealed by lifting the front passenger's seat cushion. The center stack includes a spot specifically to hold a person's cell phone and the USB connection is right next to it.
Sitting in the driver's seat, the Cherokee also has great visibility outside, an important feature on any vehicle but even more so when off-roading. Jeep uses Chrysler's UConnect system that includes an 8.4-inch color touchscreen mounted high in the dash. The system includes popular apps taken from smartphones and placed on the big screen. It can be operated by voice or by touch. The system also allows for a Bluetooth phone connection for hands-free operation as well as read text messages out loud, something one particular mayoral candidate might not approve of.
There are all of the creature comforts a person could want inside the Cherokee including the ability to turn this SUV into a Wi-Fi hotspot. The Cherokee also offers a 7-inch display screen on the instrument panel that the driver can configure to display different information.
The second row, which can move fore and aft as well as recline, folds flat in a 60/40 split and provides 54.9 cubic feet of storage space. Keep the second row up and there's still nearly 30 cubic feet of storage space, more than enough room for a family of four to go car camping for the weekend.
The key to the Cherokee is its versatility. In the past, Jeep could not find a good way to perform well on and off the road. Even the original Cherokee was a fine off-road machine, but tended to abuse drivers on city streets like an angry rogue police officer practicing his backhand.
But this Cherokee is different. It has adopted the characteristics of its much bigger Grand Cherokee's namesake, but gets there in a different way and with a different look.
Change is good, especially when the change results in the 2014 Jeep Cherokee.

SAN DIEGO — Cost estimates for the proposed 11-mile Trolley line extension from Old Town to La Jolla have soared from $1.24 billion to $1.7 billion over the past two years, as capital costs have mounted, transit officials said this week.
The roughly $460 million increase is due to plans for extra trolley cars, rail bridges, parking and an added station that were either unknown or not included until the first detailed engineering work started two years ago, officials said.
While several political leaders said they're frustrated by the price spike, they also said support remains strong for what's known as the Mid-Coast trolley line, which could receive its final environmental approvals late next year and start construction by 2015.
The biggest piece of the increase is $142 million needed for 22 additional trolley cars, said Jim Linthicum, a top planner with the San Diego Association of Governments, the agency planning the trolley extension. The extra cars will help meet the greater transit demand forecasted along San Diego's mid-coast corridor, as shown in recent studies, he added.
The second largest jump is the $135 million for the "escalation of construction, right-of-way, engineering and contingency" costs, according to the agency. Those cover expenses such as the added rail bridges needed to carry trolleys along and over Interstate 5 and through the UC San Diego campus, Linthicum said.
Other cost drivers include the up to $82 million for more parking than first anticipated and $18 million to $20 million for a potential ninth trolley station along the line, at the VA Medical Center in La Jolla, Linthicum added.
San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts, one of the trolley extension's biggest supporters, said he's worried about the jump in price.
"I hate the cost increase, and I think we're going to do better (on the actual cost)," said the supervisor, who chairs an advisory group for the project. "But the line is still worth doing."
Roberts said he's asked federal regulators to allow the overlapping of the project's design and construction phases, which would speed it up and save money.
The project's timeline calls for construction to start in 2015 and the line to open in 2018. That's contingent on its final environmental reports receiving approval in late 2013.
SANDAG will hold public forums early next year once a set of draft environmental reports is released.
Lani Lutar, president of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, said she had "mixed feelings" about the cost increases.
On the one hand, she said, the additional investment in trolley cars, parking and potentially a new station should result in greater "return on investment" or use of the line.
She said a larger question remains, however, about whether trolley lines are the best way to boost the region's mobility, given the large taxpayer cost.
"We need to continue to have a debate over that," Lutar said.
Transit advocates say the link to La Jolla, while projected at more than three times the $510 million cost of the trolley's most recent, and shorter extension east through Mission Valley and under the San Diego State campus, is critical for several reasons.
The extension, they noted, will allow students, commuters, tourists and others to bypass clogged freeways along the corridor, and bolster what's becoming a regional mass transit network.
"It's a great project," Linthicum said. "You're going to have what's called a one-seat ride from San Ysidro all the way up to (University Town Center). It connects job centers. It connects the three biggest universities … it connects health centers. It's what public transit does best."
He added that all project cost estimates account for inflation, though at a more conservative federal rate than regional planners had anticipated. SANDAG is seeking 50 percent of the project's funding from the federal government. State and regional funds would pay for the rest.
He added that the project's previous $1.24 billion cost estimate, which was included in SANDAG's 2011 fiscal year budget, had been "carried forward" from several years earlier.
Even so, La Jolla resident Joe LaCava, who sits on the project's advisory committee, said panel members have raised questions about the cost increases at recent meetings. They were assured by SANDAG officials, however, that the trolley extension is still within the federal government's comfort zone, he said.
The trolley project received considerable attention two years ago when SANDAG held public hearings on its proposed alignment. At the time, however, agency officials did not speak at length about future cost estimates for the project because they "didn't have that kind of a handle on it," said Roberts, who sits on SANDAG's board of directors.
"We just didn't have that information," Roberts added.

Nixon Taps Lawyer for Mo. Conservation Commission
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - An attorney from western Missouri has been named to the Missouri Conservation Commission.
Gov. Jay Nixon on Friday appointed Tim Dollar, a Democrat from Blue Springs, to the state commission responsible for managing, conserving and regulating wildlife and forestry resources. Dollar is a partner in the Kansas City law firm Dollar, Burns & Becker. He also serves a special assistant prosecutor for capital litigation for the Jackson County prosecutor.
The governor's office said Dollar hunts and fishes and owns land in central Missouri that he uses for management and investing in quail, deer, turkey and other wildlife, as well as in wildlife habitat.
Dollar replaces Democrat Becky Plattner, who lost in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor in 2008 and 2012. The appointment requires Senate confirmation.

One of the first records of the family was William Edington (died 1366), the English bishop and administrator. He served as Bishop of Winchester from 1346 until his death, Keeper of the Wardrobe (1341-1344), Treasurer (1344-1356), and lastly Chancellor from 1356 to 1363. He founded the Edington Priory in Wiltshire and starting the extensive rebuilding of Winchester Cathedral.
Sir Robert de Lawedre of Edrington (died 1425) was a Burgess of Edinburgh and a confidant of King Robert III and guardian of his son, the future James I of Scotland. Edington is a parish in the union of Westbury and Whorwelsdown, hundred of Whorwelsdown in Wiltshire. "The bishops of Salisbury had a palace here, which was plundered and destroyed during the rebellion of Jack Cade, in 1450, when Bishop Ayscough was dragged from the altar of his chapel, where he was officiating at mass, and stoned to death on a neighbouring hill."

Erdington in Warwickshire was another ancient family seat. "The manor originally belonged to the earls of Mercia, and was given at the time of the Conquest to William Fitz-Ausculf, from whose descendants it passed in the reign of John to Thomas de Erdington, that monarch's ambassador to the court of Spain, by whose family the ancient manor-house, now Erdington Hall, was built."

Touchpiece issued by Henry VII, England, monarch from 1485-1509
From the Middle Ages, it was believed that English and French monarchs had the power to heal through touch. Henry VII (1547-1509) gave the 'royal touch' to this touchpiece and passed it on to his subjects in the hope of curing scrofula, a form of tuberculosis that was also known as the 'King's Evil'. Touchpieces were pierced so that they could be suspended by a ribbon and worn around the neck. Some monarchs actually placed their hands on people with scrofula. This tradition of 'royal touch' began with Edward the Confessor (1003–66) and continued until the end of Queen Anne's reign in 1714, with Charles II touching over 90,000 people in this way before his death in 1685. The power to heal was believed to pass from monarch to monarch and was deemed, like the monarch's power to rule, to be God-given. The touchpiece is shown here with three other examples (A125611, A125612, A152328).

Hagan Foundation Buys Stephens College Properties
COLUMBIA (AP) - Stephens College in Columbia will sell two properties to a foundation that plans to build a new college-preparatory academy.
The private college announced Monday that it planned to sell the properties to the Hagan Scholarship Foundation, which supports students from rural communities.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that the cost of the transaction was not disclosed.
The Hagan Scholarship Foundation was founded in 2009 by Columbia real estate developer Dan Hagan. He endowed it with $45 million to provide financial help for high-achieving students who attend public schools in counties with fewer than 50,000 residents.
The deal is contingent on Columbia rezoning the properties to restrict future use to match the agreement between Hagan and Stephens College.

YORK, Pa. - York College women's track & field sophomore standout Laura Rowlands was named the Capital Athletic Conference Women's Track & Field Field Athlete of the Week as announced by the conference office earlier this week. This marks the third time in the 2011-2012 academic year that Rowlands has been recognized with the weekly honor.
The sophomore put together a terrific performance last Saturday at the Greyhound Invitational hosted by Moravian. Rowlands placed in the top-ten in three individuals events, including two top-five finishes, while she also helped the Spartans to a new program record in the 4x100 relay.
Her highest finish came in the triple jump where she registered a third-place 11.05-meter (36' 3") distance. Taking fourth in the high jump at 1.57 meters (5' 1.75"), Rowlands took tenth overall in the long jump with a leap of 5.07 meters (16' 7.75").
She also combined with Donteris Spence, Jasmine Smith, and Deborah Fidele to lower York's 4x100 record. After dropping the mark the week before, the squad lowered it yet again with a time of 50.72.

Rumors are swirling at the International Consumer Electronics Show 2014 in Las Vegas that Apple could be planning an "iPad Pro," maybe as large as 12 inches.
Patrick Wang of Evercore Partners, said in a report that Apple would go "enterprise" this fall, meaning that they would launch a product to target corporate clients.
He believes that they would emulate Microsoft's Surface and build a two-in-one product, coupling a tablet and a laptop to reach "productivity" users. This would signal a change of heart at Apple, as they've spent the last few years dismissing the Surface.
Also the the arrival of the new quad-core A8 processor form Apple would be a big blow to Intel, which at present accounts for 22 percent of the cost of the Macbook Air, whereas the Apple's own processors only account for only 4 percent of the iPad Air's cost. This would be a big challenge for Intel in the coming year.

MANHATTAN — State Sen. Adriano Espaillat has taken the first step in his bid to run for Congress, paving the way for what could be a bitter showdown between black and Latino voters in Upper Manhattan.
Espaillat announced an exploratory committee for a Congressional run Sunday — the first official step in a run that could make him the first Dominican-American congressman in the nation. It also puts Espaillat on a collision course with Rep. Charles Rangel, whose historically black district has become increasingly diverse in recent years.
Espaillat said that increasing the Latino population in Rangel's district instead of creating a separate seat next door was a recipe for disaster.
"[It's] basically setting the groundwork for 20 years of nuclear political war," he said speaking at Rev. Al Sharpton's House of Justice in Harlem, according to video of his remarks posted by Capital New York.
Espaillat's announcement comes as he and other advocates continue to lobby for the creation of a new majority-Latino district — spanning Washington Heights, Inwood and sections of the southwest Bronx and Queens — as the state's lines are redrawn in response to the 2010 census count. Their plan would retain a majority-black district that would link a small stretch of Harlem with the Bronx and Westchester, where Rangel would presumably run.
But the proposal has so far been rejected by the federal judge tasked with redrawing the lines after legislators failed to reach a deal. Under the plan released last week, Rangel's district's would remain anchored in northern Manhattan, but its population would shift to majority-Hispanic for the first time.
The judge is set to release a revised version of her lines Monday.
"This is a historic opportunity for the state of New York to send a clear and unmistakable message that the growth of the Latino community demands that our government reflect our diversity," said Espaillat, who spent 14 years in the state Assembly before taking over Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's state Senate seat, in a statement.
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. agreed that Rangel's district should stand.
"We believe in the Bronx that the district that is represented today by Charlie Rangel and that was represented by Adam Calyton Powell before him, should continue in the future to be represented by a black individual in the City of New York," he said.
A spokesman for Espaillat said it is still too soon to know what the lines will look like when candidates begin collecting signatures on March 20.
"While it's premature to target one particular district, given the fact that final district lines have not been settled, launching this exploratory committee is an important step in making sure we are ready, when the final district lines are established," Espaillat said.
The seven-person committee includes Washington Heights power broker Maria Luna and Rev. Calvin Butts III.
Rangel's campaign spokesman declined to comment.

How to Play Hearts on a Windows Computer
Windows provides many games such as Hearts that you can play for fun and to relieve stress. You play Windows Hearts like you might play the real game of Hearts, by winning tricks while taking the least number of heart cards and avoiding the Queen of spades.
1Choose Start→Games, then double-click Hearts.
The Hearts window appears, and the cards are dealt to you (displayed) and your opponents (hidden)..
2Begin play by clicking three cards to pass to your opponent, and then click the arrow button.
The first game, you pass to the left; the next game, you pass to the right.
3Play each trick.
Beginning with the player who has the two of spades, each player plays a card in the same suit as the first card led. Play your card by clicking it. You must play a spade in this first round, unless you don't have any. You cannot, however, play the Queen of spades or a heart in the first round.
If you have a card in the lead suit you must play it; if you don't, you can play a heart (even if you have cards in other suits), as long as hearts has already been laid down in a previous trick.
The highest card in the same suit as the first card led (ranked Ace down to two) takes the trick (all the cards laid down in that round). Play continues with the winner of the last trick playing the lead card.
The goal is to accumulate the lowest number of points. Get rid of your hearts (which count 1 point) and the Queen of spades (which counts 13 points) by dumping them during a round in which you will not win the trick.
4If desired, change the game options by choosing Game→Options.
Name your three opponents, and choose options for sound, animation, tips, and saving the game. Click OK and choose whether to apply these settings now.
5To close Hearts, click the Close button.
Click either Save or Don't Save in the Exit Game dialog box that appears.

Carell, Hanks, Jeong Play Ball For MLB Post-Season Stand Up To Cancer Campaign
By Barry Janoff
September 4, 2012: Steve Carell, Colin Hanks and Ken Jeong are best known for their work on-screen. But the trio of actors move into the sports world in a new campaign for Stand Up To Cancer, "Baseball Believes," which will bring Major League Baseball and SU2C's united message regarding cancer awareness to fans during the playoffs and World Series.
Six spots in the campaign, which were all filmed at Boston's Fenway Park, highlight iconic plays from MLB post-season history, with the actors recalling them in jubilant fashion and humorously recreating the events. Actual footage and play-by-play from the games are interspersed throughout.
The intended purpose is to "connect believing in miracles on the playing field with a shared vision of ending cancer," according to MLB and SU2C. Each spot ends with a call to action that encourages fans to join MLB and SU2C in raising awareness and funds "to end cancer forever."
MLB, a founding donor of Stand Up To Cancer in 2008, said that together with its 30 clubs, it has committed more than $30 million to the initiative to date.
The spots will break early this month in stadiums and on MLB Network, Fox and ESPN. They will then continue to air through the 2013 baseball season.
Last season, SU2C spots featured current and/or former MLB players Andy Pettitte, John Kruk, Mitch Williams and Ron Darling.
The classic plays highlighted in the campaign include Carlton Fisk of the Boston Red Sox "waving" his Game 6-winning 12th inning home run fair in the 1975 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds; New York Giants center fielder Willie Mays' over-the-shoulder catch on a ball hit by Vic Wertz of the Cleveland Indians in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series; New York Yankees Derek Jeter's backhand toss to catcher Jorge Posada in Game 3 of the 2001 American League Division Series to tag out Jeremy Giambi; and Los Angeles Dodgers Kirk Gibson, out of the starting line-up due to a pulled hamstring and a swollen knee, coming off the bench to hit a walk-off home run against Dennis Eckersley and the Oakland A's in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.
"[Los Angeles is] down 4-3 in the ninth," begins Carell's story of Gibson's moment. "He limps to the plate," continues Jeong. "And Boom!" Then Carell yells, "She is gone!" as we see him recreate Gibson's home run limp and fist-pump around the bases as footage of Gibson from the actual game is also shown. The retelling of the three other iconic moments follows similar fashion. (See the first spot in the campaign here.)
According to MLB commissioner Bud Selig, "This campaign is a part of Major League Baseball's unwavering efforts to support and help empower Stand Up To Cancer in its noble work fighting all forms of cancer through the spirit of collaboration.
"We are proud that the most memorable and improbable moments in postseason history can be used as a way to inspire people to believe that anything is possible, including an end to cancer," Selig stressed.
"Under the steadfast leadership and dedication of commissioner Bud Selig and all 30 teams, MLB's financial support of SU2C has been vitally important to the success of our mission," SU2C co-founder Rusty Robertson said in a statement. "Equally important is what MLB has done to help build our grassroots movement by encouraging baseball fans everywhere to support our researchers, who work tirelessly to develop new therapies for patients to save lives now."

Former Bank of America manager Donnie Wright pleaded not guilty Friday in federal court to charges of embezzlement from his former employer.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy M. Koenig accepted Wright's plea and set a Feb. 4 trial date.
A federal grand jury indicted Wright Nov. 14 on one count of embezzlement of bank funds by a bank employee, alleging that Wright stole more than $1,000 from Bank of America between May 2006 and January 2010.
He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million.
The indictment provided no details about the offense, but the dates listed in the document coincide with dates in a civil lawsuit accusing Wright of stealing more than $375,000 from Community Baptist Church, where he was a member of the board of trustees and handled the church's financial affairs.
According to court documents in the suit, Wright admitted to a series of thefts from the church's certificates of deposits and checking accounts after the church pastor's paycheck was dishonored for insufficient funds.
The church sued Wright and Bank of America. It dropped the suit later against both, but agreed to not refile against Bank of America.
The suit states that while Wright acted as the church's banker, he had no authority to sign checks.
Wright turned himself in to federal law enforcement agents Dec. 14.
He is free on a personal recognizance bond.
Wright, who grew up in East Lubbock, has been a prominent figure in Lubbock's African-American community.
He has been a longtime officer and board member of the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee, and involved in local economic improvement efforts by connecting Bank of America with the East and North Lubbock Community Development Corp.
In 2009, the Lubbock chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, the African-American women's sorority, honored him as man of the year for his work as a mentor to students at Parkway Elementary School and his involvement with the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee.

Here's a simple DL invitation from 1982. I seem to recall that I used to knock out stuff like this almost on a daily basis. And I was lucky to be able to get away with such a simple concept on this one.
But look how 1980s it looks (at least to me). The white border for a start. It seems that everying I did in the early eighties had a 5mm white border. Maybe it was just fashion. Or maybe it was because printers would charge (a lot) extra for anything that bled off the page. Why? Because they could, probably.
And then there's the typography. You wouldn't think that one word could say so much. But only to a typographer.
And another sign of its times: this was an invitation to a 'Taste of England Crunch' on board the frigate HMS Londonderry in Nice Harbour. Needless to say, I wasn't invited to the event myself.

RLo needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 53 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Reading logs is a website that tries to eliminate paper. It provides three options: (a) Kids submit their readinglogs (title of book / minutes read) each week to teacher. (b) kids also practice spelling lists given by a teacher. Norm today - a parent quizzes student on spelling words. The website speaks these words to the student. (c) Kids also draw and submit vocabular cards - a drawing based on a word/sample sentence.
This site allows elementary kids to do what they need to do every day - reading, spelling and vocabular. Please visit the website - at the bottom there are 3 boxes. Each box shows these examples. Play with Spelling practice - hear the spoken words, practice spelling. This is also an environmentally friendly website - eliminates paper. (each week 15 Million sheets of paper are wasted). The app will do what the website does today. It will help kids enter reading logs (and submit to teacher), draw vocabulary cards and submit to backend server and practice their spelling skills. Whatever you see on the website will be available on the app.
Kids in the age group 5-11. Elementary school kids who have to do this on a daily basis. These kids have iPod touch (more aimed at iPod than iPhone)
This is a new market.
Today kids have to submit a paper based readinglog each week. This has the list of books they read, the minutes they read.
Then the teacher gives a list of vocabulary words - kids have to draw picture about the word and write a sample sentence.
Then the teacher gives a list of spelling words - kids have to memorize
spelling and learn.
The app will let them do all this.
an icon that conveys "spoken words" (easier to practice spelling) and environmentally friendly.
I AM NOT A DESIGNER - I am giving some ideas - but please showcase your talent. (not my primitive ideas)
Like Scrabble word tiles with music/sound projecting from those.
Quill pens writing a list
Books (reading log)
Apple (signifying academic app) - this is over-used icon!!
Something that conveys achievement or academic work!
Please visit the website http://www.readinglogs.com - at the bottom of the home page there are 3 boxes. each shows a demo. Please take a look. this gives you a feel for what the site does.

SLAM! Wrestling's Blaine van der Griend goes through The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania, one match at a time.
Match #3
The event: WrestleMania 9
Where: Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas
The result: Win over Giant Gonzalez; WrestleMania record, 3-0
It's very seldom for The Undertaker to enter any match as the underdog; much less a WrestleMania match. But at WrestleMania 9 in Las Vegas, all bets were against him, as the Deadman went face to chest with the seven-foot-seven Giant Gonzalez.
"I was amazed that Undertaker's skill level was able to garner a solid match against the very limited Giant Gonzalez. WrestleMania 9 was a testament to the fact of just how great Undertaker was as an in-ring performer, if anyone had any doubts," WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross told SLAM! Wrestling. "It was my first live event in WWE, so the entire day was eventful and memorable, but Undertaker's entrance and presentation was awe-inspiring."
Many stood back and watched in awe, as these two giants collided. This included Gonzalez's own manager, Harvey Whippleman.
"Being at ringside and involved in any match with The Undertaker is an honor in itself, considering the calibre of a superstar the Deadman actually is, and being there on the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania, only intensifies the magnitude," Whippleman told SLAM! Wrestling. "Gonzalez, may he rest in peace, wasn't probably the greatest opponent that The Undertaker has gone up against at WrestleMania. But he was certainly the biggest."
Jorge Gonzales was actually a basketball player in Argentina and later played for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, before ever making his way into the professional wrestling business.
He eventually caught the eye of media mogul Ted Turner, who actually owned the Hawks at the time, and then offered Gonzalez a job at World Championship Wrestling. Though Gonzalez was used in small doses as El Gigante, he certainly made a big impression on the wrestling world, as he literally towered above all of his opponents. The majority of his career was spent as a babyface in WCW, as he would occasionally team up with Flyin' Brian Pillman, and he also served as an enforcer for the World Championship match between Sting and Ric Flair. Gonzalez was actually handcuffed to Ole Anderson on the outside.
His WWE career was quite forgettable. Once he debuted, Gonzalez immediately started a feud with The Undertaker, which reached its climax at WrestleMania and then culminated at that year's SummerSlam.
"I was somewhat amazed that he (Gonzalez) lasted as long as he did in the business, and had the level of success that he experienced," Ross said. "Nonetheless, Jorge was a good person in an extremely large body. Needless to say, Jorge had a memorable presence and was a classic example of being an attraction."
Perhaps Gonzalez's greatest claim to fame was when he made the millennium edition of the Guinness Book of World Records for being the tallest wrestler of all time.
"He (Gonzalez) was of extraordinary size in a unique vocation, so making this distinction wasn't totally a shocker," Ross said.
The WrestleMania match was far from a catch-as-catch-can classic, and got very ugly, very fast.
"I called many brawls, so this bout was simply adapting and reverting back to what I had experienced in the past," Ross said. "Not unlike broadcasting a slugfest in boxing versus a contest where the sweet science is in full forced, or a low-scoring football game versus a high-scoring one, etc. Broadcasters have to adapt to what they see on their monitors."
The end result was Gonzalez getting disqualified after using a cloth, supposedly covered with chloroform, to smother The Undertaker. Undertaker was quickly stretchered to the back, after being rendered unconscious. But then, fans went nuts when they heard yet another gong, signifying that The Undertaker was indeed still breathing and he made it back to the ring, finally knocking Gonzalez off his feet after a series of running clotheslines.
Blaine van der Griend suddenly feels like a dwarf...

The Relations Between the Ec and International Organizations: Legal Theory and Practice
Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, Oct 25, 1995 - Political Science - 426 pages
In November 1991 the EC acceded as a member of the FAO. On January 1, 1995 the EC became an original member to the WTO. This study deals with the interaction of two legal systems, namely between the legal system of the Community and that of other IOs. The more powers the Community gains, the more important it becomes to enable the Community to exercise these powers within the framework of relevant IOs. In particular, where the subject concerned comes under the Community's exclusive competence, the Member States have transferred their powers to the Community and thus the competent actor is the Community itself. The subject of participation by the Community in other IOs is not as yet well regulated either under Community law or under international institutional law. Furthermore, it has not been extensively treated in the literature to date. Hence, this study offers a theoretical analysis of the subject as well as an examination of daily practice in three case-studies on the relations of the EC with the FAO, the ILO and Fisheries Organizations, in particular the NAFO.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by emf1138, May 9, 2013.
At least according to this:
Android 4.2.2 With Sense 5.1 Has Leaked For HTC Butterfly | Pocketnow
i saw this too. The One is supposed to get 4.2.2. but as for sense 5.1...i thought sense 5.0 was brand new to the One? i dont know about any 5.1
It may make it to the International One about the same time it does to the Butterfly, but the various carrier branded versions probably have a LONG wait before we see the update - Especially in the US.
Confirmed... The 4.2.2/5.1 leaked was dumped over at XDA HERE
Bob's right though, probably be a while before us'ns here in the states see an OTA with that. Folks just making it hard to resist rooting before S-Off possible!
According to the video, Sense 5.1 adds statusbar toggles back. Hooray for that, that was standard in Sense 3, although they've been somewhat rearranged if that vid is an indication.
I'd expect some other Sense improvements along with this, they've had time for plenty of feedback from One users for areas to improve.
Butterfly users are feeling the sting of no longer being on the flagship phone (and others are feeling some strong update desires), so it makes sense (no pun intended) that they're preparing a broader update, not just for the One.
I had read reports that HTC is making a push to try to get all their handsets up to date and keep them there.
We will have to see but if it's true then it is good news for HTC handset owners.
Early: I thought you were on the fence and had not decided if you were getting a one?.
What did you decide?
You getting one?
Attached is last night's status from my LTEvo.
As you can see, I need a 64 GB copy for Sprint for whatever I do.
The One is still the leading choice.
Great DAY!
What have you got on there.... blueprints to the space shuttle?
The problem is that AT&T is claiming the 64GB version...
I do miss some aspects of Android 4.2+ that are not present on the One, so hopefully this leak ends up being a release so the rom cookers can make us up a nice sense 5.1 /4.2 rom
I do development work, so that takes a chunk, and music, my pictures and home videos, books, etc etc etc.
I could be wrong, but I don't think that ATT's lock on the 64 GB model is permanent.
Hopefully, they'll get back to the old ways of being first with updates.
That would be great but my sticking point with HTC is their loss of interest when they release a new flagship.
Right now the One is it but what happens when they release a two or something..
I do development stuff too but I dare not carry the source on my phone
The LTEvo is slated for a Sense update with Blinkfeed for example. They maintain support, this is the Butterfly update after all, they're just slow.
They just didn't used to be.
BTW, I can't trust things to non-local storage and I like not being shackled to a laptop.
PS - Of course, Jellybean 4.3 is about to be announced, so even if they bring out 4.2.2 next week, there will be much upset in the land.
As a developer I can understand what grinds the gears of users... I get to hear it from my users.
People will wonder why they don't have sense 5.1 and Android 5 this go around and I will probably shake my head when I read all the HTC hate in blogs and on forums.
Already seeing complaints that 4.3 won't be Key Lime Pie lol.
If you're not familiar, Google for Louis C. K. everything is amazing and nobody's happy.
Oh man that made my day love it!
While trolling the web for something that was totally unrelated (no not "naughty stuff") I ran across this, it would seem that an HTC Dev.tweeted that the update would probably be coming in two to three weeks.
I read online that One and Butterfly can now be updated to 4.2.2 but I checked and it says no update available.
link HTC One Android 4.2.2 update adds UI features, sticks with Sense 5.0
Here is a blog post related to the HTC One and 4.2.2
Android Revolution HD | Mobile Devices Technologies: HTC One Android 4.2.2 with HTC Sense 5.1 aka HTC Sense 5.0?
That seems to be the original source of the info and screenshots on this.
A link iro HTC One Android 4.2.2 update. Sense 5.0 remains: -
I'm already running the Sense 5 4.2.2 update and it's everything an update should be. Nothing but enhancements. The quick settings panel is one of my favorite additions as well as the home button now acting as a menu key if u choose so in the settings. Phone is about the same as far as speed goes for me. Still trying out battery. But they really did right with this update. Running the international ROM leak for my ATT One by the way.
HTC One Android 4.2.2 update coming mid-June
Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for HTC One coming in mid-June - GSMArena.com news
HTC finally pulls through and it seems that the company is planning to release a much awaited Jelly Bean 4.2.2 update for their favorite aluminum clad Android device, the HTC One
Late due to manipulation of aluminum??
If that's the best they can do technically... Just saying.
just found this on facebook
HTC One Update Release Date: Android 4.2.2 Rolls Out for Dual-SIM Variant, Single-SIM Upgrade By the End of the Day Possible : Tech : Latinos Post
Update 4.2.2 for Vodafone in Australia is in final testing. Vodafone Ireland / UK hopefully will get this in the next few weeks. Or the week after its released in Australia...

Did you know? Catching Up
Oh Lordy ladies, Im getting a breather from cleaning and getting my shizz together for my vaca in North Carolina next week, so I thought I'd sit my firm booty on the couch and blog.
Lets play catch up on life de Karli, shall we?
Next week I leave for North Carolina. I am spacing out and cannot remember if I told y'all about how Im going to visit my sister and niecey poo and some friends.....so here is me telling you. Im going! I am a little stressed about flying with Troy, as its being broken up into 2 flights, which really is good, but that still means Im going to have a wild toddler in an airport. Im counting on him napping for 1 hour per flight, and the other 2 hours, I plan on being drunk. Kidding! ....kinda. Nick is seriously talking about laying out work clothes for an entire week cause Lord knows he will wont be doing laundry while Im gone. Men!
Something else driving me to drink? My wiener dog, Daisy Mae. Girlfriend is about 13/14 years old (Im a terrible dog mom, I can't remember her year of birth. Do I get points for knowing the month and day?). Anyways, last week she woke me up by barking in her crate in the middle of the night cause she had a major blow out in there. I was so irritated. Im not a nice person to wake up in the middle of the night, let alone, a person who has a smile on their face when they get woken up to change crappy blankets for a dog. So, last night she did it again!! Im at my wits end. She is happy as a clam and isn't in any kinda of pain, she just can't hold her shit together (literally).
In other bomb dot com news, Im happy to report, Im going to be famous by association. Ya see, my dear sweet Gretchen look a like blogger BFF, Amber, was contacted by non other than Bevery Hills Housweife, Dana Wilkey. Girls, Dana CALLED Amber personally. Well naturally, Amber HeyTell'd moi to give me the low down and told me she responded to Dana's tweet about needing bloggers to try her new product Thinshots. I tweeted Dana immediately and told her yours truly would be interested. And then...it happened. THE Dana (Did you know? $25,000) Wilkey, was personally tweeting Amber and I.
I die. So I am hoping and praying for my phone call from our future BFF, so I can be famous like Amber and we can all 3 have some drinky drinks while throwing our own game night party.

Im Alive and so are Yoooooou
I know, my subject line has really nothing to do with this post, but dang I love me some Scrooged. Never seen it? We may not be able to be friends anymore...kidding!! ...kinda.
A few random questions - are y'all excited for Summer?! And what are you doing to make your body READY for Summer?
I for one cannot wait for Summer. Come Summer time and its 110 degrees, Im sure I'll be singing a different tune, but for now? I am excited. Pinterest is full of great Summer BBQ ideas, I mean who thinks of this stuff?!
Not only does Summer mean BBQ, pool days, and adult beverages so thirst quenching, it'll make your head spin (literally), Im SOO excited for this years county fair. I love fair time. I love fair food, seeing the animals that are up for auction, SNOWCONES!!!!, and of course I love seeing my counties biggest rednecks and country folk come on out for a good time. Seriously, people think "California" and they think beaches everywhere. Not for a second would most think we have "Rednecks" or "hillbilly folk", but cmon people, we are the Wild West, duh!
I have been trying to bust my tail with workouts. Ever since I ran my halfie in March, I've been focusing more on lifting and girlfriends, its been paying off. I did this 30 day workout thing-a-ma-bob and I've leaned out and I can tell I put on some muscle. Lets face it, that skinny thing is on its way out (HALLELUJAH!) and fit is in. Just sayin...Sorry Kate Moss, but your days of reign are ova'.
Like I was asking, what are you doing to make yourself ready for Summer? I just went to bodybuilding.com last night, and found me another workout plan. If any of you wanna check it out, I'm doing Jaimie Eason's 12 week Muscle and Define program (Note: this is different than her 12 week LiveFit program - been there, done that, loved it!). And a side note, am I the only crazy who gets uber excited after writing (er, typing out) new workout plans? Seriously, it's like the first day of school for me when I walk into that gym. I see my old machines, meet some new ones and just get familiar with the new routines I'll be doing. The best feeling for this crazy woman's heart.
Since I am working towards something (Karli's tip of the day: when you workout/start a program? Give yourself a goal your working towards. Promise it'll make the workouts that much better and interesting), I need to find this Summer bikini. Besides Vickies, does anyone have any suggestions of places? Im probably gonna order from Vickies, but I'd rather go to a store and leave with it that day. Im American which means instant gratification is a major driving force. I don't wanna wait on shipping :)
So cmon ladies dont slack now! Bikini season 2012 is SO SO close.

Sometimes and Always
Sometimes: I ask Nick "would you rather I stay home from the gym and we just hang?" secretly hoping he will say he wants me to stay home so I can be lazy
Always: I always go no matter what he says knowing bikini season is so close I can feel it
Sometimes: I secretly fantasize about having no responsibilities in life other than myself
Always: I always look at my boys playing legos and know it tops any bachelorette lifestyle I could live
Sometimes: All I want to do is be in my sweats all friggin fraggin day & sometimes will be
Always: I will throw on the cutest outfit I can find, minutes before my hubbinator walks through the door just so he sees his wife still cares about her appearance even if I've had yogurt thrown at me countless times all day
Sometimes: I want to call it a day at the gym after I've done weights
Always: I always kick my butt on Mr. Tread Mill. He always knows how to exhaust me and it feels so good

What strategy you use while tracking a memory-related issue? What tools do you use (open source as well as proprietary) to identify memory leaks, memory corruption etc? How would you track memory leaks if only gdb/dbx available on a system?
For me, fixing memory leaks with only a debugger is very hard.

FRIDAY, Sept. 25 (HealthDay News) -- Stelara (ustekinumab) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
Latest Skin News
The immune system disorder is characterized by the rapid overproduction of skin cells, which leads to red, scaly patches of inflamed skin. Some six million people in the United States have plaque psoriasis, the FDA said in a news release.
Stelara is a laboratory-produced monoclonal antibody that mimics the body's own antibodies. It blocks the action of two proteins that contribute to the overproduction of skin cells, the agency said.
The drug was evaluated in three studies of 2,266 people. Because it reduces the immune system's ability to fight infection, some users have developed serious infections that required hospitalization. Users may also have a heightened risk of cancer, the FDA said.
The agency is requiring the drug's maker, Pennsylvania-based Centocor Ortho Biotech, to devise a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy that includes a communication plan aimed at doctors and patients. The company is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.

Sign on San Diego interviewed Matt Greene, general manager of the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego:
QUESTION: Give us an idea of what one of your 17 Rock Star Suites is like, and who are the types of well-heeled folks who stay there?
ANSWER: Our largest Rock Star Suite is on the 12th floor, and it's 2,000 square feet. There are two bedrooms, with a wraparound bathroom in one bedroom, and from the tub there's a cool plasma TV you can see. There's also a really large parlor area with a wet bar and hip seating area with a Bose sound system and dining room table. The master bedroom has a patio with a huge Jacuzzi tub overlooking the skyline and the harbor and the pool area. It ranges from $2,000 to $5,000 a night.
We've had a lot of celebrities and athletes who've stayed there and businesspeople who will entertain clients or just people with a lot of cash who want to impress their wife or girlfriend.
QUESTION: Who are some of the more well-known celebrities who have stayed at the hotel? What are some of the more interesting special requests they've made?
ANSWER: We get the Black Eyed Peas, and we have the Black Eyed Peas Rock Star Suite, where a portion of the revenue generated goes to their foundation. David Beckham came with his two sons, ate at Nobu, went to SeaWorld and the zoo and had such a good time that (his wife) Victoria came back with the boys. We've also had Kristen Stewart, Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt, Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush, Gene Simmons and Wesley Snipes. We once had a celebrity who loved the color pink and requested all the towels and bed linens be replaced with pink ones as well as fresh pink flowers be delivered to her room daily. Some celebrities request very little. All Adam Lambert asked for, when asked what we could provide, was water and 5-Hour Energy drinks.
It's very cool to have these people, but I don't like my staff to be star-struck because they just want to be themselves.
QUESTION: The still-battered economy has had a major effect on the hotel industry, but especially so on luxury properties. In San Diego, your hotel is competing with several boutique hotels, including the W, the former Ivy and the Se San Diego. What have you done to adjust to the downturn?
ANSWER: Our goal is to not be a commodity where people are just looking at prices. That's why we're so focused on creating a great experience. That said, we've done a lot of value-added packages, like the one where we packaged a guest room at a very reasonable rate with one day's complimentary rental of a Harley-Davidson. There's another one with a $50 spa credit. So instead of just lowering your rate dramatically, we're still going to give you value.
We've also tried to exceed people's expectations by creating unexpected delights. For instance, on Elvis' birthday, we had an Elvis impersonator come in and spend all day in the lobby serving a cake in the shape of Elvis, and in the lobby we have a video wall, where we had Elvis images and videos playing. We get paid to be creative and have fun with our guests. What a cool thing.

Glinda as a "respectable sorceress"
The first in Baum's oeuvre was Maetta, a Glinda-like character in A New Wonderland, completed in the mid-1890s and finally published in early 1900. Three years later that book was republished as The Magical Monarch of Mo. The second sorceress was Gayelette, who created the Golden Cap that enslaved the Winged Monkeys at some unspecified time before the Wizard's arrival in Oz.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz mentions sorceresses elsewhere as well. The Good Witch of the North says, "In the civilized countries I believe there are no witches left, nor wizards, nor sorceresses, nor magicians." The Munchkins keep calling Dorothy a sorceress because she's killed the Witch of the East and taken her shoes, and because she wears white: "only witches and sorceresses wear white."
Those statements suggest that "witch" and "sorceress" are similar, overlapping categories. But then there's this remark early in The Marvelous Land of Oz:
Mombi was not exactly a Witch, because the Good Witch who ruled that part of the Land of Oz had forbidden any other Witch to exist in her dominions. So [she], however much she might aspire to working magic, realized it was unlawful to be more than a Sorceress, or at most a Wizardess.That implies that a Wizardess was somehow superior to a Sorceress, and both inferior to a Witch.
However, later in that same book Glinda herself suggests that a major difference between a Sorceress and a Witch involves the type of magic each does:
"Really," said the Sorceress, "that is beyond my magic. I never deal in transformations, for they are not honest, and no respectable sorceress likes to make things appear to be what they are not. Only unscrupulous witches use the art…"That said, in Rinkitink in Oz (1916), Glinda disenchants a character without discussing such scruples. So it's not that she can't do transformations as a sorceress; with Mombi available to reverse her own spell, Glinda chooses not to.
Baum often has characters discuss different types of magic, as in Ozma's remark to Dorothy in his last book, Glinda of Oz (published 1920):
"I am a more powerful fairy than any other inhabitant of Oz, I am not as powerful as Glinda the Sorceress, who has studied many arts of magic that I know nothing of. Even the little Wizard of Oz can do some things I am unable to accomplish, while I can accomplish things unknown to the Wizard. This is to explain that I'm not all-powerful, by any means. My magic is simply fairy magic, and not sorcery or wizardry."That novel also introduces a "krumbic witch," who esoteric spells baffle even Glinda, and offers our second view of a "yookoohoo," a magician who specializes in transformations.
Baum was not a consistent writer, and he never laid out all his different forms of magic and which type of magician was more powerful than another. If he had done so, he might well have contradicted that system a few books later when he had a better idea.
But one thing Baum was consistent about was that Glinda is the most powerful magician in Oz. That might imply that a Sorceress is more powerful than a Witch, but perhaps that particular Sorceress is simply more powerful than any Witch. In any event, if Glinda wants to call herself a Sorceress, not many people would dare to object.

A great car for the price
By DB on Friday, May 24, 2019I have driven high end cars all of my life and my Sorento is one of the absolute best I have ever owned. Fit and finish, inside and out, is perfect, and gas mileage has exceeded, by far, what I was told to expect. I feel sorry for those consumers whose egos won't let them own a Kia. The are missing out on owning a very high quality car

Awesome car if you pick the right one
By NC on Monday, August 19, 20192019 Kia sorento L The car is beautiful inside and out Buying this car need to test drive it observe everything from exterior, interior and under the hood, listen to the engine and visual inspect because any brand cars are some of them are defective so it's better to test drive it and inspect before buying it, after all of that regular maintenance need to check after the job of the mechanic because some mechanics are tricky or abusive or just dont care, always inspect your car after going for service you cant trust 100% the mechanic unless they're friend or family. Asian cars always last long 150,000 to 300,000 or more plus good news sorento is 10years warranty plus if you pick some basic to Platinum plan for maintenance.

Our Second Sorento
By jsh1120 on Sunday, October 28, 2018Purchased a 2018 Sorento SX-L in January 2018. We looked at a variety of midsize crossovers and seriously considered the Ford Edge, Toyota Highlander, and Mazda CX-9 before trading our 2012 Sorento. Several factors went into our decision. An important factor was our 70K plus trouble free miles in our 2012 Sorento. Never so much as a single "check engine" light nor any other issue. Like most Kia owners (as reported in Consumer Reports) we found the Sorento to be ultra-reliable. Along with the superior warranties offered by Kia, it gave us confidence in the 2018 model. Otherwise, the size of the Sorento was a major point in its favor. Its overall length is virtually the same as the Ford Edge but the KIA has usable third row seating while the Edge does not. It is almost a foot shorter than the CX-9 but has more passenger and cargo room! In short, for our mission (suburban traffic and people hauling) the Sorento is better suited and more maneuverable than the other crossovers we considered. We chose the top trim of the Sorento, the SX-L. We found it superior to the top trims of the Highlander and Edge and at least equal to that of the Signature trim of the CX-9. (The Sorento has a panoramic sunroof and third row HVAC controls; the CX-9 does not.) In terms of overall performance the Ford Edge Sport with a turbo V6 was a clear winner. If 0-60 time had been a priority the Ford would have had an "edge." (Sorry.) The others we considered were virtually identical. But the Sorento and Highlander have naturally aspirated V6 engines compared to the turbo 4 of the Mazda and the Ford's turbo V6. Turbocharging is an appealing technology in terms of performance but in terms of long-term reliability and smooth, quiet operation naturally aspirated V6 engines are simply better. After 10,000 miles we're extremely satisfied with the Sorento. Trouble free, comfortable, feature rich, and maneuverable in the jungle of suburban traffic and parking lots, it's all we could ask for.

Dad: N.J. pot decision 'small victory'
Brian Wilson, the New Jersey father who confronted Gov. Chris Christie about the state's medical marijuana bill, wasn't impressed by Christie's conditional veto on Friday, calling it a "small victory," but still "ludicrous."
"Everyone expected a conditional veto but this is kind of even lower than the worst case conditional veto that we thought. So while it is a small victory, he kind of put himself all over it and really just maintains the idea of making one of the worst medical marijuana programs in the country and one of the most unsafe medical marijuana programs in the country," Wilson told CNN'S Jake Tapper that same afternoon, saying that Christie was getting in the way of parents and doctors and hampering decision making. "So it's a small victory but it's kind of ludicrous in a lot of ways."
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Chris Christie's career)
Wilson said he was happy about the governor's approval of ingestible forms of the drug, as well as his allowance for more than three strains of the drug to be grown in state dispensaries. However, he found the condition requiring a psychiatrist's approval before administering it to minors to be nothing more than a "roadblock."
"There's no rhyme or reason to have a psychiatrist be part of this decision. You're talking about sick kids who aren't even mentally necessarily capable of talking. Vivian can't even talk," he said referring to his two-year-old daughter who suffers from debilitating seizures. "To keep that in is just telling…parents who are suffering with these horrible diseases with children, 'I'm going to make it more difficult for you to get this treatment for your child.'"
Vivian Wilson suffers from Dravet Syndrome but a certain strain of medical marijuana helps with her symptoms.
Wilson also slammed the governor for his refusal to extend the use of ingestible forms of the drug to older patients.
( PHOTOS: 9 pols who talked pot)
"We're happy for Vivian but what about all the adults? Gov. Christie is basically telling all the adults, 'you have no other option but to smoke marijuana…in order to use it," he told Tapper. "It's not necessarily a safe thing to do. You know, let's have a safe program here."

|(More than 7,000 festival-goers recently set a Guinness World Record The Most People Tagged in an Online Photo)
Orange, a popular global mobile-network operator, attempted to set the record for "most people tagged in an online photo" during England's Glastonbury festival in June.
They succeeded, racking up more than 7,000 tags on a panoramic crowd photo that captured about 70,000 people, according to tech blog Gizmodo.
Multiple hi-res photos snapped from the festival's Pyramid Stage on June 23 were later stitched together, creating, "one huge photograph," according to the GlastoTag website.
Festivalgoers were then able to zoom in close enough to identify people in the crowd and tag themselves and their friends. "Tagging" is the method of identifying someone in a photo posted online, most often on Facebook.
The Glastonbury festival, a hugely popular annual event in England, attracts leading pop music acts and was headlined this year by Gorillaz and Stevie Wonder.

Did you ever watch the gang on 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and think "what's wrong with these people?" Well, according to these toxicology reports, there is plenty going on inside their bodies to explain why they act the way they do.
For example, Sweet Dee is made up of mostly margarita mix. Charlie is a mix of sixteen different toxins in his system, including spray paint and bleach. Mexican ephedra is floating around inside Mac and most of the gang is on crack. Fascinating stuff.
Check out all the toxicology reports for the Paddy's Pub gang and don't forget to grab season 8 of the show now on DVD and Blu-Ray.
