Denver Marijuana Defense Attorney
Representing Clients in Colorado Facing Marijuana-related Charges
The marijuana defense attorneys at The Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal are committed to fighting for the rights of those facing criminal charges involving marijuana in the Denver area. That's why we offer a free and confidential consultation to anyone facing a criminal charge involving marijuana.
The Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal supports the evolution of Colorado's recreational and medical marijuana laws. Today, fewer medical marijuana users — or those in possession of small amounts of marijuana – are being harassed by the intrusion of the state into their private affairs. And that is always a good thing.
Unfortunately, failure to recognize the boundaries of the law, and responsibly use marijuana within those boundaries could face penalties. The marijuana defense attorneys at The Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal are committed to supporting the new Marijuana Laws in Colorado and to help residents and visitors understand how to follow these laws responsibly.
Just because the purchase and possession of both medical marijuana and recreational marijuana is legal, there are still actions that are illegal, including:
- Driving under the influence of marijuana
- Selling marijuana to anyone
- Possessing over 1 ounce of marijuana of recreational marijuana
- Taking marijuana out of the state
- Smoking pot "openly and publicly".
- Possession or use of recreational marijuana for persons under 21.
These are just a few of the types of activities that are illegal under Colorado marijuana laws. These laws can be confusing to some, and we urge you to educate yourself as much as possible to avoid any marijuana charges in Colorado.
Unfortunately, you may find yourself in a situation where you have been charged with a marijuana-related crime. If this happens to you or someone you know, the first thing you should do is hire a qualified Denver marijuana attorney in order to defend your rights.
If you are facing a marijuana charge in the Denver area, contact the marijuana attorneys at The Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal today for a free and confidential appointment to discuss your rights.
Call 303-573-0543 or use our confidential online consultation request form to talk to a Denver marijuana law attorney.

On Safari in Botswana
Botswana is a place of almost mythic names: the Kalahari Desert, the Okavango Delta. Our 10-day safari is your guide to turning this land of boundless beauty into your wildlife-watching dream come true.
Standing in stark contrast to the waterlogged Okavango, the Kalahari is a desert without oases. There are no lakes, streams, or springs. When we arrive at Deception Valley we find only an illusion--a dark-gray clay pan that seems to be filled with water. The mirage can still deceive: a gray heron circles, then lands in the mud, expecting a shallow, frog-filled pond rather than this morass.
We return to camp in time to witness a classic Kalahari tableau of grazing antelope, roosting vultures, and jackals gathered at a manmade waterhole and backed by a red, molten sunset. To the east, a dark-violet dusk pulses with heat lightning. As we tuck into an al fresco dinner of seswaa, a savory Botswana beef stew spiced with curry powder, ginger, and chutney, the jackals yield to a pride of 10 lions. The dominant male, an enormous cat with a luxurious black mane, strolls between the tents, announcing his presence with a deep, rumbling roar--an arresting call he will sustain throughout our meal.
As a precaution, the lodge escorts all guests to their rooms after sundown. I return to my tented bungalow without incident. After midnight I'm awakened by a cool wind pushing against the window panels; it sounds like a ruthless honey badger scratching to gain entrance. Birds alarm-call in the distance, and a low growl reverberates from the direction of the dining area. The lion does not sleep tonight.
This story originally ran in the July-August 2012 issue as, "70,000 Elephants, 600 Birds, 50-pound Porcupines, and a Thunder of Hippos-All in a Nation the Size of Texas."
Botswana: Making the Trip
Getting there: There are no direct flights to Botswana from the United States. Visitors usually fly to Johannesburg or Cape Town, South Africa, then connect on regional flights to Botswana's capital, Gaborone. Visas are available on arrival in both Botswana and South Africa; the latter requires at least two clean, facing pages in your passport. A passport with at least six months of validity remaining is required upon entry to Botswana.
Getting around: Most travel within Botswana is done by air. National carrier Air Botswana connects from Gaborone to Kasane and Maun. Wilderness lodges are usually serviced by bush planes; your camp or tour operator will be able to arrange these charters. With limited cargo space, bush planes will accept only soft-sided luggage. Botswana offers a range of accommodations to suit any budget, from five-star Okavango ecolodges, such as Orient-Express's fly-in, $1,000/night Eagle Island Camp (a favorite of Alexander McCall Smith, author of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency mystery series, who even set part of Double Comfort Safari Club here) to mobile camping safaris, homestays, and guest houses. Companies such as Wilderness Safaris, Orient-Express, and Desert & Delta Safaris operate highly regarded lodges at Botswana's premier game-viewing destinations. They can arrange multi-park itineraries, including air transport. It's also possible to rent a vehicle for a self-drive safari, but make sure you pack a GPS, satellite phone, extra fuel, at least a five-day water supply, and spare tires before tackling the backcountry. Denver-based Africa Adventure Consultants (303-778-1089) specializes in small-group and custom African safaris, including to Botswana.
More info: For general country information (immigration and customs, attractions, tourist activities), visit the Botswana Tourism Board website. Information about specific parks is available on the Botswana Department of Wildlife & National Parks website. Contact the Embassy of the Republic of Botswana at 202-244-4990 for up-to-date information on entry requirements.
For birders: The best birdwatching is in January to March, during the rainy summertime, when migrants boost the species headcount. It coincides with the low tourist season, so hotel rates are at their most affordable and parks at their least crowded. For fact sheets on Botswana's 12 Important Bird Areas, visit BirdLife International. Maun-based Letaka Safaris specializes in multi-day birding safaris in Botswana's avian hotspots.

Comments On Mar 14, 2013:I ride in harescramble races where you get right up close to slower riders all the time trying to find passes in single track trails and this has helped at least once to protect my front rotor when i took out that slow guy the last race by clipping his rear tire when we got on the bank of the pond and thus throwing him in the water, lol. I would reccoment this for any aggressive riders with anger issues such as myself.

Comments On Jan 29, 2013:My CR 250 came with out one. Ive always had a disc protector on my bikes. Some say that they are only for cosmetics. Some say that the protection is minimal at best. Some say that it can actually cause damage to your brake disc when packed with mud. I say yes it helps cosmetically. I say that some protection is better than none. And if your gonna ride in that deep of mud and dont remove it. Thats your own fault. After all its only two or three bolts depending on the application.

Comments On Mar 12, 2012:I have had this product on the bike for almost a year. It has held up great for motocross. The white stains from the mud, but that is to be expected. Great product, great mount and fit. I would buy another one.

The loss puts the Eagles in a four-way region tie with Alexandria, Cleburne County, and Lincoln, all with 3-2 records. Munford stands alone at the top of the region with an unblemished 5-0 record.
Jacksonville is in a must win situation now to get to the playoffs needing wins over Cleburne County this week and then Alexandria.
Lincoln did something that no other team has been able to do so far this season, they clamped down on Jacksonville's premier running back Dominique Thomas, who was held to just 65 yards rushing on 21 carries, way below his average.
As a team, the Golden Eagles could muster only 108 yards rushing. Quarterback Jackson Bell picked up 30 yards rushing with two touchdowns. Bell was also 15-of-26 passing for 168 yards and one touchdown.
Jacksonville was behind the entire game but had a chance to pull the game out in the end only to fall short.
The Golden Eagles found themselves behind 22-7 at the end of the first half.
Lincoln wasted no time getting their first points on the board marching from their own 40-yard line to score from seven yards out on a keeper from quarterback Chance Byrd. Byrd finished the game with 66 yards rushing.
Jacksonville was able to put together an impressive drive on the next series as they Eagles drove downfield to the 14-yard line where Bell hit Nick Gangwer on a 14-yard pass for the touchdown. The extra point by Mason Tompkins was good and the scored was tied at 7-7.
Lincoln's Zavian Caldwell, only a sophomore, scored again for Lincoln before the end of the first quarter when he took the ball around the left end and ran 28-yards to pay dirt. Caldwell finished the game with 83-yards receiving, 56-yards rushing and an interception.
Moments later the Golden Bears were again knocking on the door when Justin Knight returned a Jacksonville punt to the Golden Eagle five-yard line. Lincoln scored quickly on a touchdown by Jaunta'vius Johnson and with a two-point conversion was up 22-7 at the half.
Byrd connected with Caldwell on a 64-yard pass in the third quarter to the two-yard line setting up another touchdown by Johnson and the Eagles had their backs against the wall down 28-7.
Jacksonville cut the lead in half when Bell scored his first touchdown of the night from a yard out. Runs by Thomas and a Bell to Payton Sims pass to the 12-yard line had keyed the drive.
Jacksonville scored again in the fourth quarter. Starting on their own 16-yard line Bell kept the ball running to the Eagle 33. After two runs by Thomas and Bell, Bell hit Sid Thurmond on a pass to the 41-yard line. Bell kept the drive alive running the ball to the Lincoln 27, and then hit Sims on a pass to the eight-yard line. Bell called his own number and ran the ball in for the touchdown and the Eagles were down by only a touchdown with 8:06 remaining in the game.
The Eagles had their chances but just came up short. After falling on an onside kick, the Eagles went three and out and had to punt the ball away.
The Eagles had their last chance when they held Lincoln and had the ball at their own 15-yard line with 2:18 remaining.
Bell hit Thurmond on a pass to the 21-yard line and then on a third and four Bell found Sims who made an acrobatic catch to move the ball to the Eagle 37. After a run by Bell the Eagles were once again faced with a third down situation and Bell hit Thurmond for a first down to the Lincoln 45-yard line with 1:07 left on the clock.
The Eagles hopes of getting another touchdown and tying the game were dashed when Caldwell intercepted the next pass and Lincoln ran out the clock for the win.

Hunting season may be over but wolves are hardly in the clear
Yesterday marked the close of the first official hunting season for wolves ever to take place in America's lower 48 states. More than 250 wolves were killed as a result of Montana and Idaho's hunting seasons and more than twice that number have been killed overall since wolves lost federal protections in May of 2009.
And while assessing the true biological impact of the delisting decision and subsequent hunting season on the regional population will need further observation and time, one thing is clear: The optimistic talks of an official hunting season leading to a greater tolerance for wolves in the region were seemingly based on wishful thinking.
As the hunt draws to a close, tensions over wolf management remain high. Last year there were more illegal killings of wolves in the Northern Rockies than there were in 2008. Unscientific anti-wolf rhetoric in the West has become so commonplace and unchallenged in regional media articles that it's in danger of becoming accepted as 'fact.'
Recent headlines from across the region showcase the escalating persecution wolves face from many sides: from the usual vocal anti-wolf interest groups to political candidates and state legislative officials looking not to inform but to incite fear by whipping their constituents into an irrational wolf-hating frenzy.

Community Forestry, or Not?
A new buzzword phrase appears to making the rounds in the natural resource policy world. The phrase is "social license". I wasn't sure what the phrase meant, so I looked it up on where else…Google. Here is what I found. Apparently it originally came to mean the unwritten approval that a corporation needed to gain from a local community to operate in that community.
Today, it appears to have been broadened to refer to acceptance by society, where that society is nonlocal. And, it isn't limited to corporations. Now, the term has entered public land policy discussions. My first reaction was somewhat cynical, thinking that it was another academically led attempt to create a sub-sub-sub field or published-based reputation by inventing new jargon to describe something we all knew. But actually it seems more to be an attempt to restore the glory days of foresters in charge of forests, this time producing trees to fuel the bio-fuel revolution.
As one rather truculent and perceptive Forest Service friend told me, social license means "letting foresters do what they used to do, in the role they used to have". I wonder if this isn't a mistake. We have moved away from the Older Days of trained professionals who "knew best" how to manage our natural resources. Instead we have seen a thousand collaborative experiments, of talk of "civic environmentalism" or building "civic capacity" where these projects involve those who are willing to do the back breaking work of trying to build a community's resiliency for problem solving. In fact, we might go so far as to argue that a whole lot of expert/professionals licenses have been revoked socially because this is a different era with different problems, solvable by those with a certain attitude and mindset, rather than the right "license" to make decisions. Let's see how this plays out.
Wolf conflict, take 452
The wolf debate in the West is irredeemably ossified. I realized this when I strolled into the town square in Jackson, Wyoming, Saturday morning and saw the crowd of cowboy-booted and behatted protestors, gathered for an anti-wolf rally, hefting signs blazoned with tired, decade-old slogans - "Save Wyoming Wildlife; Delist Canadian Wolves," "Wolves: smoke a pack a day," and "Wolves are the baddest pouchers [sic] in the USA." The equally stereotypical Patagonia-clad environmentalists with their "I love wolves" and "Humans are the pests" signs completed the tableau. With rampant states-rights fervor in the air, all I could think about was Civil War re-enactments; the audience already knows how the battle turns out, but show up anyway to make sure each sides plays its role properly. In this case, everyone was in perfect character, and the outcome was just as predictable.
As it stands now, the wolf debate is binary: you are either for wolves, or against them. Arguing over the details of the science, which provides few definitive answers, is a means of asserting an identity-based affiliation with one clique or the other. Try to elucidate a nuanced position to either side, and you'll find yourself immediately under attack.
But for me, an ecologist with a background in anthropology and human rights work, the wolf situation presents a labyrinthine, highly nuanced ethical conundrum. Maintaining a viable wolf population requires connectivity over large scales, which means that wolves must utilize private lands and public resources such as elk herds. Maintaining ecosystem functionality is the ultimate goal, and society must bear the short-term costs in order to reap the longer-term benefits.
A promise kept
The three most important things to know about what health care reform means to Indian Country are simple ideas. First, the United States, officially and permanently, recognizes its trust and treaty obligation for health care delivery to American Indians and Alaska Natives. Second, there will be more money (not enough, but more) pumped into the Indian health system. And, third, President Barack Obama has delivered on a major, long-sought promise to Indian Country.
Now let's consider a few details.Read More ...

Sage Grouse Must Wait
Ever spent hours waiting for assistance in a doctor's office while other, more urgent patients were seen first? Then you can imagine how some of us feel about Friday's decision to leave the sage grouse hanging about in the waiting room.
On March 5, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) concluded that the sage grouse, a rare bird native to America's dwindling sagebrush plains, could face extinction if it doesn't receive protections under the Endangered Species Act. However, the agency says it is currently too busy working on more urgent cases to move forward with listing the birds at this time.
The agency designated the sage grouse as "warranted but precluded" for federal protection – a category the birds could remain in for years, even decades, while their numbers shrink and their remaining habitat becomes more and more attractive to developers. Sage grouse have already vanished from nearly half of their historic territory, and the prairie and sagebrush lands that the rare birds depend on have increasingly become targets for oil, gas and wind energy development as well as increased agricultural use and grazing.
Feinstein and Westlands – who's running whom?
There has been an interesting development in the ongoing story of Big Ag v fish in the Great Central Valley of California. Back in January HCN featured an article by Matt Jenkins on that conflict and in particular on the part played by the powerful corporate farmers of the Westlands Water District on the West side of the San Joaquin Valley which extends south from San Francisco Bay.
In spite of the fact that Westlands holds only junior water rights, the powerful District has been able to secure a lion's share of available irrigation water – that is until the federal Bureau of Reclamation was so hemmed in by drought and ESA court decisions that it could simply no longer deliver the water which Westland's corporate farmers desired.
Matt Jenkins reported what happened next. Essentially Westlands partnered with conservative members of Congress to take a run at the Endangered Species Act. Like all other Ag interests that have been faced with complying with the powerful endangered species law, Westlands wanted an exemption; let the tiny Delta Smelt get along with less water during the drought so that Westlands could continue to have all the water it desires.

Rolling Boulder up the mountain
It is almost an article of faith among climate activists that only a lack of political will is preventing us from taming global warming. As Al Gore puts it in his book, Our Choice:
"It is now abundantly clear that we have at our fingertips all of the tools we need to solve the climate crisis. The only missing ingredient is collective will."
If any place on the planet has the collective will to put those tools to use, it's Boulder, Colorado -- a city that is probably home to more people working on one aspect or another of climate change than any other place on Earth. But according to a recent article by Stephanie Simon in the Wall Street Journal, even liberal Boulder, that bastion of environmentalism, and the first place in the United States to actually enact a carbon tax, is struggling mightily to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
The city is no doubt learning from its mistakes and may well do better and better in coming years. But its experience so far, along with that of European nations, which have been working hard for years to reduce their emissions, should stand as a cautionary tale for those who buy Gore's assertion. Breaking political logjams probably isn't going to be good enough.
Tribes and Enviros mixed on Klamath Agreement
In a refreshingly cordial ceremony on February 18, three Native American tribes, the federal government, the states of Oregon and California, and an electric utility signed two agreements that promise to restore the Klamath Basin to health and end decades of rancor among the region's stakeholders.
The documents were signed in the echoing rotunda of the Oregon State Capitol beneath a mural of the traditional Native American salmon fishing platforms at Celilo on the Columbia River (long since drowned by The Dalles dam). The Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement and the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement lay out plans to remove four dams and rebalance water distribution to farmers and ranchers, tribes, wildlife, and hydroelectric interests.
The Klamath Basin straddles the Oregon-California border. Its rivers and lakes have suffered an all-too-familiar litany of insults, including fish die-offs, algal blooms, droughts, and other noxious events as a result of hydroelectric modifications, industrial farming, and climate variations.
During a drought in 2001, matters rose to a fierce boil. In accordance with the Endangered Species Act, the federal government cut off water to agriculture to protect the endangered sucker fish and threatened coho salmon. Angry farmers, defiantly camping along an irrigation canal, installed their own pump and irrigation pipe to bypass the canal headgates.

They are made with stainless steel. We've always used them underground.
everyone says Proflex PVC to PVC shielded couplings are the way to go for under slab wye tie in for a new basement bathroom..but i keep reading they are not rated for direct dirt contact, as they will be under at least 12 inches of dirt with a 4" concrete top poured back over them. Why doesn't a guy use PVC slip couplings to connect? and are the Proflex (or similar type) rated for concealment in dirt?
( Not recommended for direct burial)

thanks terry. I called Fernco based on "we have always used them" statements from many experts not just you. 20 Years in the army has taught me that is not always a good statement, and usually leads to the truth. Fernco stated they do not recommend their Proflex series for direct burial, if you choose to use them for this they do not stand by the product. They do for their RC series strong back flexible couplings..rated at 50 PSI and direct burial. Now if i could just get you to come bust up my basement floor and install the bathroom. but then id have to hire out the framing, drywall, drop ceilings, cement back fill, stamped concrete touch up where cut out. ext...but with this coupling i can get started. Not wanting to use a gas saw with water in my finished basement..so im going to get a dry blade with my skill saw and have the wife hold the shop vac hose to collect the dust..yes 4" thick..no metal just fiber reinforced.

The make electric concrete saws, but if you want to use a SkilSaw to cut through 4" of concrete, you need at least a 12" blade and several days of sawing. If ProFlex, and other stainless steel banded couplings could not be used in direct contact with the earth, the plumbing business would come to a standstill on the first installation. The problem with "slip couplings" is that you CANNOT work fast enough to install them on a 3" or larger pipe, (it is almost impossible to do it on most smaller sizes also). Once you "screw up" with one there is NO WAY to undo it without just cutting the pipe apart and starting over.

Top heavy
Yankees, Red Sox look to feast on rest of East
Posted: Monday February 21, 2005 1:18PM; Updated: Tuesday March 1, 2005 1:52PM
In the past 10 seasons, the AL East champ has won seven AL pennants and five World Series championships.
Big money and big talent reside in the East. But as any baseball fan knows, those things reside solely in two places: New York and Boston. They are the champions of the division of champs, the top dogs in the Westminster of divisions. And that doesn't figure to change anytime soon.
The Yankees and Red Sox again will have the top two payrolls in the sport in 2005, with the Yankees' bill creeping above $200 million. This offseason, the Yanks rebuilt, through trade and free agency, a rotation that failed them spectacularly in last season's AL Championship Series against the wild-card Red Sox. Randy Johnson, the game's most dominating pitcher, now is wearing pinstripes after a trade from Arizona. He'll join Mike Mussina and free-agent signees Carl Pavano and Jaret Wright on one of the most formidable staffs in the majors.
After their history-making comeback against the Yanks in last year's ALCS -- the first team to rebound from an 0-3 deficit in a best-of-seven series -- and their first World Series win in 86 years, the Red Sox endured a shaky offseason. Free-agent pitchers Pedro Martinez and Derek Lowe, big parts of Boston's success in '04, both left.
But the Sox rebounded by signing free-agent pitchers Matt Clement and Wade Miller. Lefty David Wells, who pitched for the Yanks in the World Series in 1997 and 2003, also signed on. And the Sox, like the Yanks, have most of a potent lineup returning, too.
Yes, there are other teams in the AL East and other stars. Sammy Sosa moves to Baltimore to join Miguel Tejada on a team that will be fun to watch --at the plate, at least.
But nowhere in the game is a division so divided between the top tier and the rest. In the AL East this year -- as has been the case most every year since division play began -- it's the Yankees and Red Sox, then everybody else.

One little-known fact is that Nixon made an arrangement with the Saudis shortly after cutting the dollar from the gold standard: the U.S. would protect Saudi oil interests and the Saudi regime if OPEC accepted only the dollar to sell oil. Thus was born the world´s reserve currency.If we cut military aid from the ME, their incentive to continue accepting the dollar vanishes. And, China or Russia would step in to protect their interests and we would need to purchase yuan or rubles to get oil.

Joseph Biden, the senior senator from Delaware, is the Democratic Party's main spokesman on international affairs; he is also a man who, on occasion, seems not to know, when sentences leave his mouth, where they are going or what they are meant to convey. Sometimes, when he thinks that he may shock or amuse his listener, he begins by stating, "I'm going to get in trouble if I say this," or, "This is a really outrageous thing to say, but . . . " And so when I asked Biden, as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and one of John Kerry's chief advisers on foreign policy during last year's Presidential campaign, what advice he gave Kerry on how to convince voters that he was tough, Biden laughed and said, "I wish I could tell you. I wish I could tell you." Then he told me.
At sixty-two, Biden has a cheerful vanity and an exuberant restlessness that make him seem far younger. Since the election, he has become a leader of a modest-sized faction—"the national-security Democrats," in the words of Richard Holbrooke, an ambassador to the United Nations under President Clinton—that includes the most hawkish members in the Democratic Party. Among them are Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former Vice-Presidential candidate John Edwards, Senator Evan Bayh, of Indiana, and Governor Bill Richardson, of New Mexico, along with a number of Clinton Administration foreign-policy officials, now in exile at think tanks scattered about Washington.
Biden can be eloquent in defense of his party, and in his criticism of President Bush, but his friends worry that his verbal indiscipline will sabotage any chance he might have to win the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2008. (Biden is an interested, but undeclared, candidate.) On the question of Kerry's mettle in the last campaign, for instance, Biden told me a story that was both entertaining and illuminating but did not capture the matter with complete accuracy.
On October 29th, Biden said, he was campaigning for Kerry in Pennsylvania, the state in which he was born, when he heard, on the radio, that Osama bin Laden had issued a videotape in which he belittled Bush and promised to continue to "bleed" America. Biden nearly panicked when he heard about the tape, he said, because he worried that Kerry's reaction might seem tepid or petty. His advice to Kerry throughout the campaign—which, he complained, went unheeded much of the time—was to harden his message, to focus, as Bush was doing, on terrorism alone: to sound, in short, more like the President and less like a Democratic senator from Massachusetts.
"I'm listening to the radio," Biden said. " 'Today' "—here he adopted a radio announcer's voice—" 'the President of the U.S. said dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah, and he said he's sure Senator Kerry agrees with him. Senator Kerry, unable to resist a dig'—that's what the announcer said, that was the phrase—'said today had we acted'—I'm paraphrasing—'had we acted properly in Tora Bora, we wouldn't have this problem.' "
Biden continued, "I'm on the phone, I e-mail, I say, 'John, please, say three things: "How dare bin Laden speak of our President this way." No. 2, "I know how to deal with preventing another 9/11." No. 3, "Kill him." ' Now, that's harsh. Kerry needed to be harsh. And it was—Jesus Christ." Here Biden threw up his hands. "He didn't make any of it. Let's get it straight. None of it. None of those three points were made."
This was not quite the case. In Kerry's first comment, made during an interview with a Milwaukee television station, he criticized Bush for missing an opportunity to kill bin Laden at Tora Bora, as he often had during the campaign. But, not long after that, Kerry spoke to the press, saying, "As Americans, we are absolutely united in our determination to hunt down and destroy Osama bin Laden and the terrorists. They're barbarians, and I will stop at absolutely nothing to hunt down, capture, or kill the terrorists wherever they are, whatever it takes, period."
Biden, apparently, did not actually reach Kerry until that night, so Kerry made this statement without Biden's help. In any case, Biden failed to recount the dénouement; leaving it out better served the point of his story, which concerned the troubles that faced the Kerry campaign and, by extension, the Democratic Party—a party that Biden hopes to see revived. It was then, Biden went on, that he realized Kerry would lose the election.
"That night, I got off that trip, from Scranton, I got off the plane, Wilmington airport, only private aircraft, get off, pick up a phone, call a local place called the Charcoal Pit before it closes. They have great steak sandwiches and a milkshake. Triple-thick milkshake. And I hadn't eaten. I'm going to pass it on the way home. They're literally sweeping the floors. A woman, overweight, forty years old, a little unkempt, had a tooth missing in the side, not in the front"—he showed his flashing white teeth, to demonstrate—"walks up to me to give me my steak sandwich. 'Senator Biden, I'm so glad you're here. I've got a problem.' And I take out a piece of paper, maybe Social Security for her mother, and she said, 'I heard you're for Kerry.' And she said, 'You're so strong and he's so weak.' "

Comments about Seirus Innovation SEIRUS Men's WindStopper Oz Gloves:
As soon as a glove is NOT stretch fit, it becomes a quirky item, either fits or does not, these well made good looking gloves are not stretchy, so your hand has to be right for their shape.
I have normally large "low volume" hands with slim fingers. These gloves seem to run a tad short in the fingers, and as they are sturdy, they have not "broken in" yet. They are not particularly warm, as they have no insulation material to them, so your activity level is your warmth. The thumb/index finger wear area is a grippy "leather" pad, but with stitching that could be an issue. They look great.
I like the build so much I'm trying to force the fingers to elongate. If they fit you you'll love them as strong & tough high activity, driving, or liner gloves.

Comments about Seirus Innovation SEIRUS Men's WindStopper Oz Gloves:
I have an XL hand size and ordered XL gloves. All the pairs I ordered were so small I could barely get my hands into the gloves and, when I did, my fingers "bottomed out" in the glove fingers before the glove was fully on. The glove placard and tag both said men's XL. Otherwise they are really nice gloves so I gave them away to my hiking friends who wear a men's medium.

Losing a co-worker is tough. Losing a friend is tougher. But, as Soldiers, it's something that we unfortunately somehow learn to deal with. One of the ways we deal with our losses is to honor our fallen with memorial ceremonies that help to provide some level of closure. There is still a combat mission to perform and we must move on. These ceremonies give us a reason to keep fighting and bring home the reality and seriousness of what we do on a daily basis. That doesn't make it easier.
Memorials are conducted both in theater and back home for families. Here is a glimpse at one such memorial ceremony for three Soldier from the 131st Transportation Company, 142nd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 101st Sustainment Brigade who were killed when their convoy struck an Improvised Explosive Device July 18.

Manchester fees jump to tow illegally parked cars
The Manchester Police Department proposed the fee hike, saying it would bring the charges in line with those of surrounding communities. The towing fees were last raised in 2005.
Towing companies contract with local police departments to remove cars during snow emergencies and when they are illegally parked for an extended period of time.
The fees would go from $70 to $110. For tows during non-business hours, the fee would go from $85 to $125. The daily storage fee would go from $25 to $30, and the fee for releasing the vehicle during non-business hours would be hiked from $25 to $40.
In making the case for the higher fees, Police Chief David Mara had cited a survey his department conducted of other cites and towns.
In Concord, towing companies are allowed to charge $145 for a standard tow and $120 for snow emergencies, according to the data Mara had presented to the aldermen, In Nashua, the rate is $125 for a regular tow and $95 for a snow emergency removal.
Bedford police tows are $125, and in Londonderry, the rate is $105.
The ordinance goes into effect immediately.

Educational Philosophy:
The facilitator strongly believes that Marketing and Consumer Behavior have a unique language, not unlike most business related disciplines. Accordingly, significant emphasis is placed on terminology and concept application in this course. Leaning is accomplished via quizzes, lectures, assigned readings, review of current events, exams, videos, website assessment and writing.
Critical thinking is also strongly emphasized. A good working definition is as follows;
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
Core Assessment Assignment: Personal Consumption Journal
The purpose of this project is to help you relate consumer behavior principles to your own consumption experiences and enhance your self-knowledge and understanding of your behavior in the marketplace. This project enables you to not only observe and record your own consumption experiences, but also analyze the factors which might be influencing your buying decisions.
1. Each student is required to keep a Personal Consumption Journal of all purchases of products and services for four weeks. The weekly entries for purchases should consider the following factors or issues:
2. Review your list of products and services you purchased during the four-week period and select at least ten of your larger purchases which best portray your personality, values, and lifestyle.
3. Using consumer behavior theory and principles, prepare a report in which you analyze the influences that led you to your purchase decisions. Specifically, examine personality, family, peer, cultural, lifestyle, situational and demographic influences that led you to your purchases.
4. Your written report for this project should include your Personal Consumption Journal and your analysis of your buying behavior. This report is due at the end of Week 6 and should be posted to the Dropbox for evaluation.

Caption: City Manager Ed Zuercher
Ed Zuercher was appointed Phoenix City Manager on Feb. 19, 2014. In this role, Zuercher is the Chief Operating Officer for the city of Phoenix and oversees the largest council-manager form of government in the United States, with 14,500 city employees, including seven employee unions and associations. He encourages city employees to focus on working smarter, saving money aggressively and treating residents kindly in order to maintain residents' high public approval ratings for city services.

text: The troops are quite polarized on the question of tank vs tankless water heaters. The tankless crowd argues economy, space saving, and never ending hot water. The rest of us point out the studies showing the very high cost of the tankless units, high cost of installation, high cost and frequency of necessary cleaning, the fact that in cold weather, you do not have the abundance of hot water claimed, and the need of increased electrically supply or larger gas mains in the cases of retro fitting. Studies show pretty conclusive evidence that tankless are more expensive in the long term. It is very unusual for a conventional water heater to just suddenly fall apart. When the tank begins to fail, is shows up in small leaks that do not result in an immediate flood. These studies show you can operate and replace a conventional water heater 3 or more times for the cost of a tankless with all factors considered. Tank life seems to depend a great deal on the quality of the water begin heated. Some areas have water that will destroy a tank in a few years while other places the tanks will last for many years beyond their life expectancy. My advice is to study both sides of this issue very carefully before plunging into the tankless.

How did the College Library Directors' Mentor Program Get Started?
The program had its beginnings in an informal conversation during an American Library Association conference sometime in the late 1980s. A dinner conversation among Mignon Adams, Sandy Ready, Anne Commerton, Larry Hardesty, Michael Kathman, and Jackie McCoy led to a discussion of their preparation, or lack thereof, for the college library director position. The following year, Jackie McCoy, as chair of the College Libraries Section of ACRL, created an ad hoc College Leadership Committee with Larry Hardesty as chair. Caroline Coughlin, Evan Farber, Bart Harloe, Carolyn Sheehy, and Mary Sellen initially served on the committee. Damon Hickey soon joined this committee as a replacement for Mary Sellen. For the full story of the beginnings of the program see: Larry Hardesty, "College Library Directors' Mentor Program: 'Passing It On:' A Personal Reflection," The Journal of Academic Librarianship 23 (July 1997): 281-290.
What is the Purpose of the Program?
The program began because leaders of the College Libraries Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) saw a need to enhance leadership capabilities of new college library directors and to help them meet the challenges involved in directing libraries in small colleges. This program meets this need by fostering a mentoring relationship with an experienced library director. First-year directors gain access to someone who will listen to their problems and questions and provide feedback and possible solutions.
How does the Program Accomplish its Purpose?
There are three major components to the program. The first element is matching the first-year college library director with an experienced college library director. This is to provide the first-year director with an experienced "listener" who wants to "help" but not "tell." Each director is to visit the other director's library at least once during the year. The first visit should be made very early to establish a firm foundation for the relationship. The program cannot support the costs of long distance travel, and distance can impede the needed interaction. Therefore, usually the two directors are within a three to four hours driving time from each other; however, individuals can be too close in geographical proximity, which can obstruct the development of a confidential relationship.
The second component of the program is a three-day seminar held prior to the American Library Association Midwinter Conference. Faculty members include Susan Barnes-Whyte, Linfield College, Melissa Jadlos, St. John Fisher College, Robert Fleming, Emerson College and special guests. Planning, campus politics, and staffing issues are examples of topics covered in previous seminars. While particular topics vary with the interests of the participants all relate to how to deal successfully with the challenges at a small college. A major goal of the seminar is to form a bond among the participants which facilitates the creation of a network that the participants can rely on in future years.
The third component of the program is a closed Internet discussion group. Robert Fleming, Emerson College, maintains a closed discussion group on the Internet (hosted by ALA) available only to participating first-year college library directors and program alumni. About 253 librarians participate in this discussion group. One of the chief advantages of this discussion group is the collegiality of the participants. Since they have all gone through a similar experience, questions and comments are freely put forth to this supportive audience. Also, since the questions go to a closed group, confidentiality is sacrosanct. A closed internet discussion group for mentors, established in 2012 provides a confidential forum for sharing among the current year's and the previous year's cohort of mentors.
The fourth component of the program is online webinars for participants conducted in the fall
prior to the seminar. The webinars provide an opportunity for Cohort members to get acquainted before the seminar and the topics touch on general management issues. A webinar is also offered for directors serving as mentors. The mentor's webinar serves as a forum for sharing the tips and best practices for effective mentoring.
What is the Nature of the Relationship Between the Mentor and the First-Year Director?
The relationship varies depending on the needs of the first-year director. To facilitate a conversation about the nature of the relationship, both the first-year director and the mentor are asked to fill out expectations worksheets. These worksheets are useful in reaching a mutual agreement about roles, responsibilities and expectations. One requirement is that it should be a confidential relationship in which both parties can speak freely.
What are the Responsibilities of the Participants?
The first-year director must agree to participate in the seminar and meet with the mentor at least twice during the year. They must also provide a brief report after each meeting and at the end of the year to Susan Barnes-Whyte, the program's co-director. The experienced director also must agree to meet with the first-year director at least twice during the year. They must also provide a brief report after each meeting and at the end of the year complete a survey.
Who are the First-Year Directors?
During the first 20 years of the program 295 first-year college library directors from 238 different institutions have participated. They include 93 men and 202 women. The participants come from colleges as varied as Carleton to Central Methodist and Tougaloo to Western State College of Colorado. The first-year participants represent forty-three different states.
Who are the Mentors?
Mentors are experienced college library directors willing to serve as good "listeners" and helpers. They come from colleges ranging from Amherst to Centre and Wofford to Wooster During the first 20 years, 152 individuals have served as mentors, including 66 who had participated in the program originally as first-year library directors. In total, 381 unique individuals have participated in the program either as first-year directors or as mentors. The mentors represent 59 men and 93 women have served in this role.
How Much does the Program Cost?
At present, $400-$600 is required as an upfront cost to cover the seminar costs and the travel between the first-year director's and mentor's institutions. Some reduction is possible for small libraries with very modest budgets. In addition, travel to the seminar and housing and evening meals at the seminar are responsibilities of the participant. Costs of these items may range from $500 to $750, depending upon the distance of the first-year director from the seminar's location. The College Library Directors' Program is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization and the fees are intended to only cover expenses.
For the 2014 seminar, the program has a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to subsidize some of the costs of participation.*
*The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas.
How are the Fees Used?
The fee is used for a variety of expenses related to the program. Both the first-year library director and the mentor are reimbursed for expenses involved in travel to each others institution, including meals and overnight stays (if necessary). The fee is also used for postage for the letters to the participants and the mentors. A large portion of the fee goes towards the expenses of the seminar, including meals at the seminar, travel and housing of the seminar leaders, preparation of materials and mailings, room costs (if any) of the meeting room at the host institution, and modest honoraria for those involved, including individuals at the host institution who often spend considerable time on local arrangements. The College Library Directors' Program is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization and the fees are intended to only cover expenses.
How Many First-Year Directors Participate Each Year?
The ideal number in the program is usually fifteen, and participation each year has ranged from ten to twenty .
How Does One Qualify for the Program?
The first criterion is for the individual to be in his or her very first year as a college library director. Participants may have served as library directors at other types of institutions, but the key qualification is they have not previously served as a college library director. The program is designed for library directors at small colleges, which usually means institutions with an FTE of fewer than 3,500 undergraduate students. Also, the participants must have a master's degree in library science from an ALA accredited library school.
Will My New Dean Support the Program?
Only your new dean can answer that question. However, in the past the individuals to whom new library directors report have been very responsive to the program. For the past several years the Council of Independent Colleges has allowed an announcement of the program to be sent out through its deans listserv. Many college library directors contact the program director as a direct result of their chief academic officer forwarding this e-mail to them. Chief academic officers want the library directors they hired to be successful. The success or failure of the library director can be a reflection on them, as well as a significant expenditure of time and money for the institution. Most astute deans will understand the advantages of the program.
How Can I Obtain More Information About the Program?
Larry Hardesty, the program's former director, has written a history of the first several years of the program, see Larry Hardesty, "College Library Directors' Mentor Program: 'Passing It On:' A Personal Reflection," The Journal of Academic Librarianship 23 (July 1997): 281-290. Also, during the past several years various participants have written several articles in the CLS Newsletter. These articles can be accessed through the following links.
- Spring 1996
- Spring 1997 ("Mentor Program praised by member of "class of '96")
- Spring 1997 ("Mentor Program "class of '97" bonds at seminar")
