It seems that the City of Los Angeles is cracking down on medical marijuana' shops in and around the County of Los Angeles. A new ordinance that is slated to take effect could shut down almost half of the reported 900 plus medical marijuana dispensing collectives' as they are called.
It seems that this measure, though passed some months back is finally being put to use and being enforced in and around the City of Los Angeles. Medical marijuana shops that were allowed to operate in the past, some by skirting legal zoning grey areas, or legal loop-holes will be subject to closure. What in effect is happening is the enforcement of Measure E an initiative that was passed by City of Los Angeles voters on May 21, 2013. This ordinance would have would have banned all City of Los Angeles medical marijuana dispensaries except those shops that were registered before 2007.
There seems to be some confusion between the two Measures D, and Measure E since both were voted on by Los Angeles City residents in relation to medical marijuana dispensaries. What has been reported in the news, depending on where one is reading or looking, can be somewhat confusing as there is an overlap between the Measures D & E.
Essentially the City of Los Angeles is looking to shut down all but a few medical marijuana dispensaries, this being confirmed by a list that was generated by officials, which whittles down the number of shops from the approximate 900 plus to only 134. Most notably missing from the list is the aptly named Timothy Leary Memorial Dispensary located in North Hollywood. An attorney representing the Timothy Leary Dispensary and one other has threatened to sue the Los Angeles City Council as a result of their clients businesses being noticeable absent from the exemption list, saying his clients are legally entitled to remain open and in business.
One noticeable new tactic that is being unveiled is the pressure being put on landlords and property owners to evict tenants who are using their rented or leased space as medical marijuana dispensaries. Whether these evictions and closures will stand up in court is anybody's call. What is clear is that the City of Los Angeles is clearly on a mission to send a message to medical marijuana establishments that the times are changing.
Interesting that other states, most notably Colorado while reaping in billions of tax revenue from the sale of medical marijuana, though making changes to their existing laws and ordinances, are not making sweeping changes such as those happening right now in the City of Los Angeles. Perhaps the Los Angeles City Council should make it a point to discuss these issues with their counterparts in Colorado and formulate a plan on how to deal with the Billion-Dollar medical marijuana industry that they are seemingly intent on giving the death blow to, effectively cutting their own hands off monies which the City of Los Angeles and certainly the State of California as a whole, shouldn't be treating as noxious weeds in their fiscal garden.
Some regions of the United States where the use of marijuana, also referred to as cannabis, is legalized for medicinal purposes, the number of dispensaries for the drug has been reported to be increasing. This is not surprising since it is recognized that the drug can aid people who have health issues such as cancer, glaucoma and even HIV.
In the year 2010, the state of Los Angeles was considered to be among the states that have the most number of medical marijuana dispensaries established. At present, the number of dispensaries of the drug is found to be increasing as well in Los Angeles. Due to this increasing number, it would be a problem for a person who already has a registry card for medical marijuana to select which is best. The following steps would help in determining the best of Los Angeles Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Determine first every dispensary that are available for business in the Los Angeles area where you live in. They can do this fast using the Internet. There are plenty of search engines that can be used just like Google or Yahoo!. Input search words such as "Los Angeles Medical Marijuana Dispensaries" After typing in the search engine these words, the links to different dispensaries will be showed and mostly, the ones that displayed on the first page are the ideal dispensaries. Select the links of these dispensaries and look about each one of them. Usually, their respective pages give data that could allow purchasers evaluate them. Their company profile, company history, company perception, contact details, dispensary address, and merchandise too are provided. There would also be acommunity forum in which users who have acquired their services can put their evaluations regarding the dispensary.
Do not ever stick to only one dispensary and instantly choose it. Pick a few and then pay each one of them a visit first. Checking out the dispensaries first is essential for not just the purpose of getting a view of the actual dispensary but more of the reason that not every little thing that you have read in the Internet is usually true.
Some of the dispensaries need setting an appointment. And so, communicate with them first prior doing the visiting. When the appointment has been fixed, you are ready to go to verify for yourself the information you have read in their respective pages and as well have your personal impression regarding the dispensary. Find out regarding how services are being rendered, the way they rate the plants and their pricing plans also. Right after doing visitations, ask for the counsel of professionals for they can aid you in proper comparing and choosing the best Los Angeles Medical Marijuana Dispensaries for you.
Finally the Los Angeles marijuana law protects patients and their primary caregivers from being subjected to sanction or criminal prosecution when they obtain and make use of cannabis for medicinal purposes upon recommendation of a medical professional. Only 8 oz of dried cannabis and 6 mature or 12 immature cannabis plants is allowed for patients and primary caregivers to possess.

8 Surprisingly Affordable New Cars
Rarely are shoppers surprised at how inexpensive new vehicles can be. More often, shoppers visit showrooms having done some research, with a budget in mind and an idea of what the models they're interested in will cost. Or new-car shoppers go in blind, only to be hit with sticker shock upon learning the price of the vehicle that catches their eye.
Of course, it's much better to know what you're looking for before you set out for test drives. Our list of surprisingly affordable new cars identifies eight vehicles -- all but one of which are the latest 2014 models -- that offer excellent features and qualities at an affordable price. Here, we outline key figures, such as fuel economy, and also point out some equipment included even on the most affordable base models. Our list includes two SUVs, a minivan, two sporty coupes, two luxury sedans and an all-electric hatchback. Among them are two models that are brand-new for 2014. Prices listed do not include destination charges, which typically add $800-$1,000 to the total price.
2014 Jeep Cherokee
One new-for-2014 model is the Jeep Cherokee, a midsize SUV with space for five passengers and a starting price of $22,995. Although it's immediately identifiable as a Jeep, the new Cherokee is more modern than most models from the brand, with squinty headlights and LED running lights and taillights. The Cherokee also comes with a standard touchscreen, giving its interior an equally modern look. The 2014 Cherokee has standard 2-wheel drive and a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. Thanks to its 9-speed automatic transmission, the 4-cylinder version is rated at 22 miles per gallon city/31 mpg hwy. A 4x4 version is also available starting at $24,995, and drivers who want more power can opt for a V6.
2014 Ford Explorer
For those who need more space, the 2014 Ford Explorer is a 3-row SUV that seats up to seven passengers. It comes standard with Ford's voice-activated SYNC system with MyFord Touch and has a standard V6 engine. Along with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the 3.5-liter motor produces 290 horsepower and yields a fuel economy rating of 17 mpg city/24 mpg hwy. Pricing for the 2014 Explorer starts at $29,600.
2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
For even more practicality in a 7-passenger vehicle, the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan could be considered the value leader among minivans. The base price for the venerable van, which celebrates the model's 30th anniversary in 2014, is just $19,995. For the money, buyers get a standard 283-hp V6 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Except for the V6, the Grand Caravan is basic. But step up to the Grand Caravan SE 30th Anniversary edition and you get aluminum wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, 3-zone air conditioning and the Uconnect hands-free system for a still-affordable price of $24,695.

2014 Subaru BRZ
For drivers who prefer a sportier ride, the 2014 Subaru BRZ is a compelling choice. Powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder boxer engine that makes 200 hp and 151 lb-ft torque, the lightweight BRZ is an agile handler and an absolute blast to drive. Plus, it's relatively efficient, with fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg city/30 mpg hwy. And it comes nicely equipped with standard touchscreen navigation and 8-speaker sound. The base price for the 2014 BRZ is $25,595.
2013 Chevrolet Camaro
Another sporty coupe, the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro is heavier but also delivers serious power at a more affordable price. Starting at $23,345, the Camaro is equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 that produces a robust 323 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque. With a standard 6-speed manual, it also delivers good highway fuel economy at 29 mpg, though the city rating of 18 mpg is not too strong. Still, the Camaro is a lot of muscle for the money, and a standard color touchscreen audio system gives the cabin an up-to-date look and feel.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250
In a more luxurious vein, the all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 is a compact sedan with excellent fuel economy ratings and high-tech standard features. The CLA uses a 208-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter engine plus standard start-stop technology, which shuts off its engine when stopped in traffic, to achieve Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy ratings of 26 mpg city/38 mpg hwy. A standard 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is similar to the transmissions in high-performance cars. The CLA also comes with a collision-prevention system that warns the driver of a potential frontal collision and applies brakes if the driver fails to respond.

2014 Lexus ES 350
Another luxury sedan with a surprisingly affordable price is the 2014 Lexus ES 350. With a starting price of $36,470, the ES is spacious and well-equipped, with 10-way power front seats, automatic climate control and premium audio. It comes with a 268-hp 3.5-liter V6 and a 6-speed automatic transmission, and is rated at 21 mpg city/31 mpg hwy. For just under $40,000, shoppers interested in better fuel economy can step up to the hybrid ES 300h, which is rated at 40 mpg city/39 mpg hwy.
2014 Chevrolet Spark EV
Few vehicles can match the efficiency of the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV, a hatchback mini car with an all-electric drivetrain. The Spark EV is rated at 128 mpge city/109 mpge hwy, meaning it can travel about 128 miles in city driving using the electric equivalent of one gallon of gasoline. Range is limited to about 82 miles on a single charge, though. Pricing for the Spark EV starts at $27,495, or just under $20,000 after a $7,500 federal tax credit. For the money, drivers get Chevy's MyLink system, heated front seats and a remote cabin conditioning system. Spark EV drivers can also access HOV lanes even when driving alone. The electric Spark is available only in California and Oregon.

Some new cars are clearly a better value than others, offering drivers the qualities and amenities they want at an affordable price. Smart shopping can make a difference when it comes to getting everything you want, whether it be luxurious accommodations, performance or fuel efficiency, at a cost that won't break the bank. These eight vehicles aren't the only ones that represent excellent value among new models, but they're certainly among the best choices.

text: Winter Wheat's Waiting Game March 27, 2013 10:30 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email Futures International LLC is predicting a record abandonment of 24% of the winter wheat crop, attributing the loss to drought and continued poor winter conditions in much of the southern Great Plains. That leaves many farmers considering if, when and what to replant. "As you all know, having a good stand in the spring is key to a productive winter wheat crop," says North Dakota State University Extension agronomist Joel Ransom. Several factors enter into this equation, including the environment (with the temperature at the crown having the biggest impact), the state of hardening, the variety sown and the size and vigor of the plant in the fall. Now that spring has arrived, farmers should take stock of their plant populations before making any replant decisions. In some instances, even half a crop is a better option than starting over, he says. "Typically, if you have a 50% stand that's fairly uniform, it's still a go," Ransom says. "If you have eight plants per square foot, that's about a third of what we'd consider optimum, but if it's uniform, we can still live with it." Farmers should also investigate "patchiness" in a field as well as relative crop vigor, Ransom adds. Most years, farmers don't pull the trigger on replant decisions too quickly, but it does happen from time to time, he says. For instance, impatience tends to creep in during springs where the weather turns warm very quickly. "Small seedlings that barely emerged will take some time before an accurate assessment can be made," he says. Extension agronomists in other states echo this wait-and-see approach. "We are suggesting farmers wait until green-up to evaluate," says Laura Lindsey, assistant professor with The Ohio State University. "We are having below average temperatures in Ohio right now, so green-up hasn't happened yet." Overall, Lindsey says she is optimistic about Ohio's 2013 winter wheat crop.

Will Rogers and American Politics
|Episode Description
|Wednesday, Nov 21, 2012 - 3:00 AM
Will Rogers, born part Cherokee in Indian Territory (later Oklahoma), speaks a common-sense language with a gentle humor - he criticizes but in a nice way. It makes him the voice of the nation in the 1920s and 1930s. This film profiles the cowboy, comedian, author, columnist, social commentator, vaudeville performer, movie and radio star. Archival footage and interviews tell the story narrated by Bill Kurtis. "Politics," Rogers maintained, "has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated." G

Current Law Students / Re: 48% Bar Passing Rate.« on: December 24, 2005, 06:14:56 PM »
I think the CA bar is the hardest bar. it takes the greatest amount of raw score points to pass while testing similar subject matter.
CA is widely considered to be the second hardest bar exam after NY. Apparently, either last year or the year before, the Bar passage rate went up to 51%. The state Bar announced this year that they're going to make the test harder and get the passage rate back under 50%. I was shocked when I read that. Apparently PMBR was hiring people who used to make questions for the Bar exam. In their books, PMBR have questions that were similar to the Bar exam. They are being sued by the Bar Examiners right now for the 3rd or 4th time because of the similar questions. Also apparently, CA thinks PMBR might have contribute to high bar passage rate.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Apr. 2, 2012) – After returning home from a three-game series at Lipscomb over the weekend, the ETSU baseball team will close out a four-game road swing at Appalachian State on Tuesday.
First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium with live audio and live stats available at ETSUBucs.com for fans unable to attend Tuesday's game.
Freshman right-hander Kuehl McEachern (Mt. Dora, Fla.) (0-0) will make his first career start for the Bucs and will be opposed by Appalachian State righty Jamie Nunn (3-0). McEachern owns a 2.70 ERA in 6.2 innings pitched this season and has not allowed a run in his last three appearances. Meanwhile, Nunn owns a minuscule 1.69 ERA in 21.1 innings with just four earned runs allowed.
Sophomore Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) continues to lead the Bucs at the plate with a .363 batting average to go along with four home runs and 21 RBI. Meanwhile, Matthew Scruggs (Knoxville, Tenn.) is batting .297 with a league-leading 11 home runs. Scruggs also leads the squad with 23 RBI and a .663 slugging percentage. Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.) and Dylan Pratt (Johnson City, Tenn.) continue to swing hot bats as well with both batting at a .300 clip or better, while Pratt is third in the league with nine home runs.
The Bucs dropped all three games at Lipscomb over the weekend. The Bison pitching allowed ETSU to hit just a combined .175 for the series.
Appalachian State currently sits at 22-5 after most recently sweeping a weekend conference series over Oakland. The Mountaineers head into the contest with a four-game winning streak and they are ranked No. 30 in the new NCBWA poll. ASU owns an impressive .317 team batting average on the year.
ASU is led at the plate by Daniel Kassouf as he leads the squad in batting average (.409), home runs (10), hits (47), slugging percentage (.757) and RBI (33). Meanwhile, Will Callaway is hitting .406 and leads the team in runs (32), on-base percentage (.465) and is second in stolen bases (16).
The Mountaineers are the most frequent ETSU all-time opponent as the two schools have played 124 times through the years. Appalachian State owns a 71-53 advantage, but ETSU has won six of the last 10 meetings, including both games last season.
The Bucs and Mountaineers will play in Johnson City on Wednesday, May 2 at 7:05 p.m.
ETSU returns home for a three-game conference series against North Florida beginning on Thursday at Thomas Stadium.

I have the same comments as I did on Nov. 26th. You might ask why the same order 2 months later ... the case was not designed nor did I expect it to survive being thrown off the trunk of my car as I took a turn at 20 MPH. It did hold up well but I got a new phone so I figure I should have a new case.

The spectacular red rock formations of Sedona, Arizona are a delight to visit and paint! Here I have painted Oak Creek at Red Rock Crossing with Cathedral Rock in the background and blooming Ocotillo cactus in the foreground. Each of these Giclee, stretched canvases has hand-painted details! The ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING is available directly from the artist for $359. with a complimentary frame painted with the same oil paints!
I am a self-taught artist and have been painting in oils for many years. At the same time my photography has developed following the same principles of composition and color. Much of my work has a "save the environment" theme and my inspiration comes from nature and visions of light and color. My interest in art began in the 5th grade with a remarkable teacher who, along with all the other subjects, made time for art and music every day. I am influenced by a diverse group of artists who have come before me -- from da Vinci and Dali to Monet and Lassen. This website has helped me reach an audience all over the world. I always have several projects going, and can't wait to start the next one! I hope you enjoy my art and can find a...

With just under one hundred days left in the year 2012, I am proposing the question are you hitting your goals you set out for yourself at the beginning of the year.
Many folks start the year off with some crazy New Years Resolutions and Goals bot personal and professional. I wonder how many of them are still in effect so I thought I'd ask.
If you are going to try to hit some of those targets what will you do now the last three months are upon us?
This is my second VLOG posting. This post shot and edited completely on an IPhone 5 an iMovie for iOS.
My Goals for 2012
- Lose 20 Pounds
- Start my Lifestyle Blog
- Become a YouTube King
I am doing pretty good with my goals but not 100% the way I wanted to. I am getting refocused and plan on killing the last quarter of the year.

I like a lot O de Lancome. Very fresh, but then turns into something greener and more vegetal, which I like, but it's not pure citrus anymore. Cravache is also pleasant, though not especially long lasting.
You could also go into the more citrusy of the green chypres, like Ormonde Jayne Tiare. These are not really citruses, but give some of the same satisfaction as citruses, though they are more structured and long lasting.

Designers Turn on Fashion Week
A show during New York Fashion Week is perceived as a pinnacle of success for an American designer. Yet, as WSJ On Style columnist Christina Binkley reports on Lunch Break, when Fashion Week opens Feb. 7, a number of labels will have dropped off the calendar. Photo: Getty Images.

... I ... I am now well ... about that time of the season ... so why are some designers actually saying no thanks to New York's famous fashion week for an aspect question right now Christina Binkley ar on style columnist who has attended ... many a fashion show she is in Los Angeles she has that their crests welcome to the show was talk about this actually just around the corner but ... a growing number of designers bucking the trend and ... not showing all what's behind it thinking ... it sounds so strange at first ... that in reaching York fashion week for a lot American designers is absolute the pinnacle of success ... but the truth is that nearly two hundred designers will show collections in a roughly one week period in New York and this could this scandal that was so crowded that some designers are looking for an alternative say get more attention ... an expensive what's the average cost of throwing one of these big big fans ... you know it's it's looks like asking the average cost of the wedding day can be along those lines and ranging anywhere from ... thirty thousand dollars for an incredibly small incredibly inexpensive show to more than a million for one of the big brands and you know ... that that of the cost of that a decent house in Kansas City is is probably a good rule of thumb ... that here in York a mean this is I ... used that were just looking at some photos of the famous ... editor Anna Wintour sitting on the front row ... I this is where the who's who of fashion comes to look at these clothes ... remind us why fashion week started Whitehaven matters in on this point Chris ... well the that's an increase in question I think it's a way that people are asking whether newspapers even matter anymore react when we all have tablets laptops ... it the fashion shows came at a time when it was the only way for designers to show their collections to editors in stores now we have videos we have digital photographs we have a couple of books being updated ... most of the collections have been sold to stores before the fashion shows even hit the runway ... so becomes more of a way to reach the public now richer each editors in stores and its in its industry and a lot of trouble ... for some of the specific designers who are ... not committing this sartorial blasphemy in abandoning the Esperance ... you know for most of most of our viewers they're probably not name isn't they've heard of the Detroit show she for instance is is that ... an emerging designer she's shown for several collected several seasons in New York she's not an issue in March after all of the fashion hullabaloo ... the tears come back from from Paris Fashion Week ... on business smaller designers of the ones that are having to force their way into the industry and the ones that are easiest to skip ... if you're busy fashion a daring you hafta take it to tidy up a very Marc Jacobs ... so these are these are the emerging designers who really struggle to look for another weigh in ... I wonder if there's a risk for them because at that point you still have somehow convinced then that the retailer's the buyers of your clothes as well as the asthe faction of the survey to write about them choose whether to put them in their magazines you've got a convincing to get into your studio and make time ... everybody's schedules busy so we'll have a risk are they taking by saying no to fashion week rest ... you know ... the risk of put selling is a risk to win the most of the kids the kids are a bead that is in young designers I spoke with who are doing this ... said that they were analyzing how much it cost versus what the return was ... so they see it is less of a risk because they are risking less money ... but of course that they've completely opted out of seeing the international press to fly in from York fashion week they will be in New York in March to see is ... that they're being shown now ... on the digital digital baby ... scientists are building at the collections are the way the trend mitigate that risk with it that really remains to be seen whether they can have a successful ... season without showing an interest in what could be seen a real shift in the way this industry does business like so many other industries including the medium one thank you so much press

Get in[edit]
Ever since the first railway reached the city in 1864, Hillerød has been the main transportation hub of the region. Since then a number of small railways has been build to connect the city with nearly all the towns of North Zealand, and the railway station is filled to the brim with commuters during rush hour peaks.
By train[edit]
By bus[edit]
Almost all cities north of Hillerød are served by buses from the train station, below are some of the more useful lines for tourists.
Get around[edit]
From the station follow the signs down Vibekevej to the city.
There is a small ferry that goes between the castle and the main square, DKK 25.

Frederiksborg Castle[edit]
(15 minutes walk, from the station follow the signs down Vibekevej, or use bus 301 or 302 (they both go in two opposite directions from the station, so ask if it goes to the castle)), ☎ +45 4826 0439, ([email protected]), [1]. Mid Mar-Oct: 10-17, Nov-Mar:11-15. 60 Kr. Build by Frederik II in 1560. Inside you can see the church, the halls, displays of old paintings. On the third floor is the modern collection with portraits and painting from 20th century Danish history.
For a day of castles, you can combine this with a visit to Fredensborg castle and Kronborg castle in Elsinore, by catching the small private railway that runs between Hillerød and Helsingør which also stops in Fredensborg on the way. If you're visiting from Copenhagen, it is possible to return from Elsinore by the Kystbanen' railway.

App of the Week: Devil's Attorney
Senri AB
Compatible with:
Android Devices
Android 2.3 or up
Available here
"If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers." – Charles Dickens
You may find this quote close to fictional lawyer Max McMann's heart, if not on a plaque somewhere in his seedy office or written for keepsake to tuck away in his cheap suit. He's the start of the new app "Devil's Attorney", and he is not necessarily a bad man, just a damn good lawyer.
"Devil's Attorney" is an app similar in concept to the successful DS lawyer series, "Phoenix Wright". The twist here is that you don't play a crusader of justice, so much as a chaser of ambulances, as it's pretty clear that McMann became a lawyer for the specific purpose of making a lot of money, as his clients are almost exclusively of the guilty persuasion (though he would strongly advise they do not make a similar plea in court).
The game is made up of over 50 cases where the player, as Max, has to out maneuver the prosecution and their witnesses. The court scenes are broken down into rounds, and you are given a certain amount of action points to spend on maneuvers like Cross Examination, Epic Speech, Mesmerize, and of course the always useful Tamper With Evidence. You're trying to use your actions to "defeat" witnesses, and the evidence itself, by draining their hit points (call it "character assassination") and taking them out of the game, making this very much like a traditional RPG. Once you run out of action points, your round is over and you have to weather the prosecutions attacks.
Appropriately, it's not so much about the case as it is about the tactics. You have to manage your action points well as you often either focus your efforts on one witness or evidence piece at a time, or spread the damage throughout. Win a case, and you're rewarded with cold hard cash, which can be used to purchase new suits or furniture for your apartment, which in turn grants new abilities or enhancements to your current ones. So you could, for instance, swagger into your next case wearing a feathered pimp hat, zebra suit and monocle, while wielding a hammer for extra evidence tampering abilities.
The key to the entire game is its humor, which is strangely (yet successfully) rooted pretty firmly in 80's pop culture. The actual court room mechanics works okay, but if it wasn't for the insane amount of fun this game is having with everything from the bizarre cases, to the gut busting humorous dialogue, and the gaudy swag that doubles as upgrades, this might be a completely forgettable game. Instead it is that aspect that drives you to keep playing (and enjoying this game) until the final case is closed. It is a rare feature in a video game where you get to play the bad guy, and it is truly a welcome change of pace to be able to speak on behalf of some of the worst criminals imaginable all in the pursuit of the mighty dollar.
The constant amount of artistic style and comedy on display in "Devil's Attorney" is a true joy. It's a morally objectionable game that isn't trying to be offensive, and instead milks a demented concept for all the black humor and enjoyment it is worth. I do wish the game were a bit longer, but what's here is solid gold.
As your attorney I advise you to buy this game right away as well as check out the incredible 80's style intro below. Afterwards, I don't think I'll hear any objections to this being the app of the week.

This week started on a cautious note following last week's blast-off in which the Dow gained 421 points. Talk that both political parties were hunkering down into established rhetoric, European economic woes, and a report that Thanksgiving sales were less than last year accounted for the mixed results.
At Monday's close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 42 points at 12,967 and the S&P 500 fell 3 points to 1,406, but the Nasdaq rose 10 points to 2,977. The NYSE traded 632 million shares and the Nasdaq crossed 390 million. On the Big Board, decliners led advancers by 1.3-to-1, and on the Nasdaq, advancers were ahead by 1.2-to-1.
The broad market was hit with a loss Monday as strong technical barriers combined to slow down the recent advance. The Dow ran into resistance, closing below its 200-day moving average at 12,993.
Although the Dow had an intraday high of 13,008 and Friday closed at 13,010, the index failed to hold Monday, and that's an unfavorable sign. Strong overhead resistance argues against a further sharp advance. The line at 13,040, which marked the Dow's November breakdown, and the broad area from that line to the 50-day moving average at 13,245 will likely provide a difficult zone of sellers.
The chart of the small-cap Russell 2000 index is straightforward. The index closed Monday just 1.51 points above its 200-day moving average. Resistance starts at the downtrend line at 815, which represents a broad area of trading for the past eight months. The 50-day moving average at 824, and falling, is the next line of resistance. The MACD indicator flashed a buy signal on Friday.
Conclusion: On Monday, the technology stocks, represented by the Russell 2000 and Nasdaq, benefitted from new buy recommendations on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) and Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO). But investors continue to shy away from stocks with high dividends fearing that a tax increase on dividends will drive the shares lower.
Despite a buy signal from the MACD indicator, it is unlikely that stocks will rally much higher than the overhanging resistance between the indices' 200-day moving averages and 50-day moving averages.
Long-term investors should establish prices at which they are willing to buy, while nimble traders will likely be challenged by more volatility between now and Christmas that will provide for quick profits on both sides of the market.

When humans gaze up at the night sky, they may view the fuzzy streak of the Milky Way and contemplate their place in the universe.
When dung beetles see the Milky Way, their thoughts turn to keeping their food source away from other insects.
Scientists have found that these inch-long creatures use the glowing edge of the galaxy to guide them as they roll their balls of dung across the African landscape. The report, published online Thursday by the journal Current Biology, provides the first documentation of animals using the Milky Way for navigation.
Considering that birds, seals and butterflies are known to rely on the stars to find their way around, the study authors noted that using the Milky Way as a compass "might turn out to be widespread in the animal kingdom."
If any bug needs a straight line to follow, it's the dung beetle. These nocturnal insects make a habit of balling up pieces of animal manure and rolling the spheres away from the larger pile to save for their own use. The balls, which are considerably bigger than the beetles' bodies, serve as food and even a nesting place for some species.

Development amid Violence and Discrimination: Sexual Minorities in Latin America
As more Latin American countries enact laws protecting sexual minorities, violence and discrimination remain prolific. Preliminary evidence shows that exclusion lowers education, health, and economic outcomes. With the World Bank's new focus on social inclusion within the twin goals of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity, I see numerous points of intervention for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in this region.
On January 28th the Latin America and Caribbean Poverty, Gender and Equity Group joined my project "Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Development" to discuss this cross-sector and nascent agenda. A host of experts from the region had the very first World Bank conversation on sexual minorities in LAC.

FORECLOSURE MEDIATION: The federal Home Affordable Modification Program, created in 2009, attempts to get banks and other mortgage lenders to modify mortgages that are in foreclosure by reducing the principal owed or making other modifications that will prevent foreclosure. The special master for Rhode Island, Merrill W. Sherman, is handling 740 such cases. The program's arbitration guidelines for mortgage modification call for banks to reduce outstanding mortgages to only 120 percent of current home value, regardless of the total mortgage originally agreed to. Ms. Sherman agrees that "...some of the plaintiffs are 'gaming' the system," yet she still thinks banks should forgive a tremendous amount of loan principal because most plaintiffs "...are good people who for a variety of reasons overreached (aspired for homes they couldn't afford; were naive in thinking the market would rise forever, etc.) and are now suffering consequences in some ways not of their making." She justifies that banks should lower mortgage principal in foreclosures because they already spend thousands of dollars on each case in legal expenses.
Using Ms. Sherman's logic, the stock market should return to investors a large percentage of what they lost in the recession when they made bad investment decisions. And the stock market should agree to send this money back to bad investors because fighting it would cost so much in legal fees. Another analogy might be expecting a supermarket to charge some customers only half what they owe at the checkout counter, simply because those customers are "good people" who made bad decisions with their money (big homes, expensive cars, etc.) and now cannot afford to pay for all their groceries.
When government coerces private enterprises to subsidize customers' bad decisions and reduce their profits in the process, the free market system that made this country so successful is doomed. It is common for government to subsidize people's economic failures (food stamps, welfare, etc.) and to subsidize failing entities (bailouts, stimulus program, etc.). Though we may disagree with it, at least it spreads the cost across all taxpayers. When government forces businesses to subsidize people's bad decisions, it constitutes officially sanctioned robbery as practiced in totalitarian countries. How long before this "take from those who made good decisions and give it to those who made bad decisions" places our country in the same league as the former Soviet Union and current countries like Cuba and Venezuela?
RHODE ISLAND'S GUN LAWS: The prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has issued study results that show Rhode Island has the eighth strongest gun laws in the country. Most important is our requirement for all gun purchases to include a background check. Many consider our current and extensive gun laws to be draconian compared to most other states. JAMA's study seems to support this position. Any additions to our gun laws, other than a provision that strengthens the process for determining whether a prospective gun buyer has a history of mental illness, will constitute an unnecessary burden to law-abiding citizens without serving to decrease gun violence.
GOD AND THE HIGGS BOSON: Scientists at Europe's Large Hadron Collider have declared success; that the particle detected a few months ago following super high-speed collisions of atoms is indeed the Higgs Boson - or, as many in the news media (and some scientists) call it, the "God Particle". It's ironic that humans just can't let go of religious superstition, even when describing an event that is the result of pure science. Existence of the Higgs Boson proves the Big Bank theory of the creation of the universe which is a direct contradiction of the religious teachings that God created the universe as described in the Bible. Yet, we still insist on calling the Higgs Boson the God Particle. Will superstition always reigns supreme among humans?
THE TYRANNY OF SPEAKER FOX: We all know that House Speaker Gordon Fox is the most powerful politician in Rhode Island. Our archaic system of government gives far too much authority to his position than does government in most states. This was driven home last week when Fox arbitrarily removed Representative L. Patrick O'Neill from the House Judiciary Committee simply because O'Neill had engineered a unanimous committee vote that approved sending the controversial ethics bill to the house floor for a vote. Adding to the insult, Fox had the committee chair declare that the approval vote was null and void. The bill itself is a bad one that should be voted down by the House. Bad or not, however, any bill that receives majority support in a committee vote should be allowed to go to the entire house membership for consideration. That's democracy. Instead of democracy, however, in Rhode Island we get the tyranny of the house speaker. Perhaps it is time for a constitutional convention so we can change our government structure to eliminate the excessive power that allows this one-man tyranny to rule our state house.
BUNGLING OF MILITARY MEDALS: How many ways can one administration bungle things? We've grown accustomed to the Obama administration bungling the budget deficit year after year and adding enormously to the national debt. Additionally, we have become somewhat inured to Obama frequently disregarding the Constitution, purposely violating the laws of Congress, and stretching the truth with the American people. What we were not prepared for was Obama's outgoing secretary of defense, Leon Panetta, directing the military to create a new medal, to be called the Distinguished Warfare Medal, for award to far-behind-the-lines drone pilots and to rear echelon cyber warfare specialists. There's nothing wrong with such military members receiving medals for outstanding performance in a safe, rear area - usually here in the U.S.; but there are already many medals that would serve that purpose wonderfully. The problem with this new, boneheaded idea is that the new medal is being placed above medals issued strictly for battlefield performance and bravery - such as the Bronze Star, the Soldier's Medal and the Purple Heart. Everyone is up in arms about it, from the VFW and other military service organizations to numerous members of Congress. And, because of this uproar, it's very likely the new secretary of defense, Chuck Hagel, will either abandon the medal or place it lower in precedence behind battlefield medals. What's still amazing, however, is that the Obama administration could have once again bungled something so badly.
WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE AS ECONOMIC GROWTH ENGINE: The "Block Report" on Medicaid and food stamp fraud and abuse in Rhode Island that was reluctantly released last week by Governor Chafee reinforces the notion held nationwide that Medicaid and the food stamp program are rife with fraud throughout the country. Assuming the fraud detected in Rhode Island is reflective of fraud nationwide, our country is losing billions and billions of dollars every year on these programs. So, why hasn't there been some major attention paid to this issue? Left-leaning economists and their big-government adherents tell us the many extra billions of dollars in fraud that are funneled through the two programs serve as a "growth engine" for our economy by adding to the nation's spending. What a crock! Those fraudulently spent dollars, if not taken excessively from our taxpayers, would still be spent; but they would be spent by those who actually earned the money instead of by those who steal from these necessary programs. Meanwhile, those responsible for overseeing the programs give tacit approval to this theft by silently watching from the sidelines and doing nothing to stop the travesty. Governor Chafee says he is taking behind-the scenes action to stop the fraud. That "The feet under the duck are paddling away." Well, if the duck is paddling so hard, why hasn't the fraud-fighting fowl moved at all? Let's hope the real Chafee doesn't agree with the economists and big government activists who believe social program fraud provides a boost to the economy?
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: At a gathering of conservatives, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker pleased the crowd when he said, "In America, we believe in the people and not in the government. It is precisely why, in America, we take a day off on the Fourth of July to celebrate instead of on April 15th."

Charlie has been on a diet for about a week now.
We have changed his food from Iams to Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Ultra Premium. (They really need to shorten that name)
Anyway, Charlie was a little upset at first with the reduced servings (barking, early in the morning for some food), but he has adjusted and has gotten back to his normal routine.
We are hoping that his waist returns sometime in late spring.

Girls of the Wild's [manhwa]
Serialized as a webtoon on Naver.
Author: Hun
Artist: Zena
Genre: Comedy, Martial Arts, Romance, School Life
A poor student get's a scholarship to an all-girl school, where everyone is a fighter.
So far, after 11 chapters the story is a lot better than I could describe, and the art is quite beautiful.

I just started reading this last week and it is pretty good. Chapter 11 kind of shocked me a bit though, but it was still an ok chapter.
I'm just hoping this manga can keep up the momentum it picked up early on all the way until the end.

I've only read up to the chapter where the glasses girl in introduced(oh how I love a glasses lass, think she's my current favorite atm) and I very much like it.
Not sure I can say I find it "oh wow"...expect maybe with the art(I love these webcomics, they are generally always lovely to look at) but it's certainly intersting enough.
Jae Bu is a odd one, he's kinda like a wimpy dude but at same time he's not.
Sure I can accept his freaking out at what goes on in school it is after crazy but yet he can stand up for himself and the fact he's shoulder massive responsibilities earns alot of points.
I like the contrast between his private family life and what goes on at school, the 2 are very different and offer alot and more surprisingly seems to work pretty well.
Guess I better get to rading the rest of the chapters!

I lol'd @ the raeg about chapter 10 at the scanlator's site, then everybody who was raging at "Monster" all turned themselves over to cute little tsundere Queen in chapter 11.
I thought the transition was a bit abrupt myself, though unlike them I already assumed she had a girly side way earlier and was just hiding it. What can I say, I've got a pretty good tsunderadar.

Read the rest of the chapters and wow, talk about sudden eh
I also though it would come just not quite so suddenly altho I'm fine with it.
Seems that The Queen is a odd one as well, part of me still kinda dislikes her "monster" side, I know thats how it's played for plot's sake, she's made out to be a "bitch" but I oddly enjoy watching it all unfold even if I don't like that aspect of her character.
But when she turned around in chapter 11, it's hard to not somewhat either forgive her or like her
There been a love/hate thing going on from the start and I really like that.
It's like you hate her for how she treats Jae Gu but yet at the very same time it's hard to actually outright hate and despise her for it.
Another thing I gotta admit to, is I really liked how Jae Gu was talking to the Queen at his house.
It was talk of a rude and somehwat ugly nature but it did feel nice reading it for some reason.
He's giving a little back without going over the top which I think made it work greatly.
I can understand it cause I think for myself I would probably do the same.
There are times you can't hold yourself back and being able to give some lip can feel like a good thing.
For me that little piece I consider a great little bit of writing.
Also the I've taken a liking to Lee Moon now, she really grows on you.
Wee brother>cockroach>3 champions. LOL

Yeah the last bits were pretty well written.
The literal about face in ch 11 was mildly hinted at during the late night boxing scene several chapters back. But still when I saw panel two, I literally did a double take, then snorted out a laugh. I think the Queen has some social issues, that while explain her treatment of others, doesn't excuse it in the least. I'm proud of the MC for having a spine and actually refusing to be looked down upon. While what he said was harsh, I think in this case it was deserved and the impact of reality was apparent.
As for the other bits I've grown pretty fond of Lee Moon as well, though her bike changed considerably from chapter 1 to chapter 11 if you look. I still like Dal Dal the best, even though she has no chance and like the rest of the girls completely clueless when it comes to boys, she's just to darn cute (plus the tiger ears while detachable seem to move with the mood).

In baka-update,in to categories, there's also written harem
Can anyone confirm this?
For now is a good story...this guy have really lived a hard life..being abandoned by his mother,take care of two twin...work part-time,and school...such a sad story....i think is normal that he react bad with a Queen...when he called her monster..and now goes to a school of only girls, who fight very well
I want to see the girl with green hair wearing glasses...what she can do...
The reaction of the Queen in the chapter 11,when she saw the cockroach the best!
If this is really a harem..,will be hard to decide for this boy, the girl he want..are all beautiful
The girl with cat ears.....is fun.....
When i see a manga with a girls fighting....i can't be helped..i can't resist..

But given what we've seen so far: three girls interested in a boy (+ maybe the big sword girl may come and join later), yes, it looks a bit like a harem.

Haha, yeah, after reading chapter 11, I was gonna make a thread myself . Anyway, I've really been greatly enjoying this manwha. The way Jae Gu depicts his life taking care of his siblings as stressful is very welcoming and realistic. His face in GAR mode is awesome too =03. The way he was in chapter 11 was just AWESOME; like Bonta said, a bit harsh, but not over-the-top and understandable, given his situation. The guy actually has balls, is not perverted(at least he hasn't shown to be as such yet), and understands his situation realistically. I couldn't ask for more, even though 'more' was definitely given .
I think out of the 3 girls, I like Lee Moon the most so far. She's definitely a 'big sis' type, even though her intentions are like most of the girls in the school (>.>). Friendly, but doesn't try to be too cozy or close, and easy to talk to. I really like those types of chars =03. Queen's dere side wasn't really a surprise, but like Chandelen, I was kinda shocked the blushing was so intense. Dal Dal is cute, and has gotten less annoying than her first appearance, though she never specifically bothered me with that annoyance. I actually found it cute =03.

Spoiler for Dere Queen:
To be fair, when she heard, that Jae Gu was poor, she probably thought, that means his family only has a four bedroom house, two cars, and a single holiday home.

Read this webtoon after Khalil started this thread.
After reading all current 11 chapters, i'm enjoying this series. You have a male lead who's afraid of fighting yet has some backbone and doesn't like to be mess with. The Queen, a rich girl who's rather anti-social and has a major dislike for boys due to her past but meets the male lead and goes dere dere because he doesn't treat her like she's expect him to be. A boxing champ who's the Queen's only friend and acts like the reasonable one for Jae Gu and the Queen. A Taekwodo catgirl who has poor understanding of the male lead and wants him to join her club and make him her boyfriend. The Wushu girl and her older sister, the Kendo girl who might be badassess then nobody realize and a punk girl who wants revenge against the Queen.
With these kind of characters, whats not to love about this webtoon? Sadly, the scanlation has caught up with the latest chapter so it might be a week until the next chapter comes.

You also have that little thing the director put out in ch 2 about whoever gets some Jae Gu experience gets some high score for graduation hanging in the background. That might cause some misunderstandings when Jae Gu hears about it...

I'm trying to convert my mod files to mp3, so that I can put on to an iPod.
I used the mod2mp3.py script (Instructions here) and installed xmp and adplug that it relied on using yum install xmp and yum install adplug.
However, it produces mp3s that only contain noise and hissing.
Can anyone help? Does anyone know of another working way to convert mod files to mp3, or perhaps to aac?

How Does Guinness Figure Out The World's Most Prolific Blogger?
from the does-this-mean-I-have-a-record...-or-a-problem? dept
You see, the other day, I saw Karl Bode mention on Twitter that the folks at the Guinness Book of World Records apparently awarded the record for the "most prolific professional blogger," to a guy named Darren Murph who writes for Engadget. The award was apparently given out sometime last fall, though Bode just noticed it. The "record" was for 17,212 blog posts. Bode checked on his own work for BroadbandReports, and realized he had a few hundred more blog posts. I was pretty sure I'd done a bit more than that, so I checked. Turns out that I've written nearly 38,000 blog posts (it'll be there within a week or two). In other words, it appears I've written more than twice the number of blog posts as the supposed world record holder.
My first thought: Neat -- I beat the world record! My second thought: Perhaps I blog too much. And, finally, my third thought: just how do the Guinness folks go about fact checking these sorts of awards, anyway? On the whole, though, I'm somewhat amused. Of course, if they missed me, I've got to assume they missed a bunch of others as well, including (almost certainly) others who are more prolific than I am. So, can we do some crowdsourcing and see if we can help out the good folks at Guinness and figure out who else might be among the most prolific professional bloggers out there? Because, for something I had never even thought about a few days ago... suddenly, I'm curious.
