How One Jewish Immigrant Named Isaias Hellman Created California
Frances Dinkelspiel
St. Martin's Griffin
The mood was ebullient in the California Pavilion at the 1893 Chicago Exposition. The mission-style building, rumored to have cost $100,000, was finally set to open. Scores of California boosters sporting grizzly-bear-shaped badges clustered in the massive structure, eager to hear their governor, Henry Markham, extol the virtues of their state.
Examples of California's bounty lay everywhere. The hall, lavishly decorated with flowers and flags, was landscaped with ancient date palms and other semitropical plants. A fountain sprayed red wine, and mounds of raisins glistened in bowls. No display was more showstopping than the thirty-five-foot-tower built entirely of oranges. Laborers had worked for days to carefully layer the 18,873 pieces of fruit on top of one another, creating a bright orange column that sent a delicious fragrance floating through the air. The only other exhibit that rivaled the orange tower was a life-sized knight built entirely of prunes.
Millions of people from around the world were expected to visit the exposition, and California had spared no expense to show them that it was a state rich in land, crops, and innovation. While officials were proud that the gold rush had generated hundreds of millions of dollars in ore, they wanted people to know that the state was also an agricultural powerhouse, an important trader with the Far East, and a good place to do business. As Governor Markham snipped the ribbon that opened the pavilion, he boasted to the crowd that fruit production generated $3 million a year alone for the state. Wheat, grapes, and wine brought in millions more, creating a robust economy. California's population was growing rapidly, and its financial institutions were "in splendid condition," he enthused.
As Markham delivered his sunny remarks, he had no idea that Los Angeles's financial condition was rapidly disintegrating.
Few could have predicted that Los Angeles was about to be plunged into a crisis. The weather in the waning days of spring had been glorious, hot and sunny without a cloud in the sky, typical of the region's blessed climate. In 1876, just seventeen years earlier, Los Angeles had been a speck of an outpost on the edge of a continent, but now it boasted amenities as modern as those of any American city. Streets that were once notorious for their thick dust in the summer and heavy mud in the winter were now covered with asphalt. Wooden sidewalks had given way to stone, while electric lights illuminated the newly erected buildings in the downtown.
As the sun rose on June 20, Los Angeles residents dressed for work and school, thinking perhaps only of the day ahead. Few were focused on the ongoing debate in faraway Washington, D.C., as to whether to remain on the gold standard or tie America's currency to silver. More likely, they were absorbed by news from the Chicago Exposition or by the debate about the advisability of widening First Street.
European investors, however, were so worried about the uncertainty of the U.S. monetary system that they had been steadily withdrawing their gold for the last few months. The exodus of capital had sent stock prices plunging, and suddenly all the financial machinations of the last twenty-five years—the massive expansion of railroads, the mismanagement of those companies, rampant stock manipulation, and monopolistic practices—came to an abrupt halt. By June, gold was scarce—and that meant everyone wanted some. Unstable banks began to fail at an alarming rate.
Los Angeles had always considered itself protected from the country's financial vicissitudes. The last major upheaval in the U.S. economy had been twenty years earlier, and its effects had taken two years to travel the three thousand miles west from New York. Even after two banks in nearby San Bernardino shut their doors, the Los Angeles Times reassured readers that the city's banks were strong, routinely handling 66 percent more funds in 1893 than they had three years earlier. "Los Angeles has her financial house in good order and has no reason to fear contagion from the prevailing epidemic," said a June 19 article. "To use an expressive phrase of the day, 'Los Angeles is all right!' "
But the soothing words of the newspaper did no good. On the day after Governor Markham gave his speech on the glories of California, Los Angeles investors developed an irrational, almost unexplainable, fear that their local banks were running out of gold coin. No one event triggered the panic, but all of a sudden hundreds of people became convinced they might lose their savings unless they immediately withdrew their money from the town's vaults.
They rushed in frenzy toward the junction of Temple, Spring, and Main streets, home to most of the city's financial institutions. They surged into the banks, desperate to hold their cash and make sure it was safe. The First National Bank had recently installed a curved mahogany counter that let tellers serve several customers at a time. What had seemed like a business innovation in good times was a detriment now, as the clerks doled out pile after pile of $20 gold pieces at a rate that threatened to deplete the bank's money supply.
Nearby, so many worried depositors had swarmed the City Bank that its president posted a sign saying it would "temporarily suspend" paying depositors. An hour later, the University Bank drew curtains across its windows and posted a notice: "Bank closed. Depositors will be paid in full."
By dawn the next day, scores of men in dark suits and bowler hats and women in mutton-sleeve dresses were lined up along Main Street, jostling one another as they tightly clutched their bank books and watched for signs that the banks would open. Within a few hours the crowd was so thick there was no room to walk on the sidewalk. Blue-suited police officers herded clusters of people against a bank building, where many peered anxiously through the arched windows to see if there was any activity inside. The clock on the wall of the nearby Nadeau Building tolled ten o'clock, but the banks remained ominously closed.
It seemed like most of Los Angeles's fifty thousand residents had come to the financial district either to withdraw their life savings or to gawk at desperate faces. "It was not the usual morning-go-to-work crowd, but a strange race of people who seemed to have taken possession of the city," one paper commented.
The doors of the City Bank and the University Bank remained shut. When the president of the Los Angeles National Bank opened the bank's iron gates, he was met by a cheer, but the joy was short-lived. Moments after he went back inside, a clerk slapped a sign on the front door announcing that those wishing to withdraw their money would get only a portion of what they were owed. The Farmers and Merchants Bank, the city's oldest and biggest bank, on the corner of Main and Commercial streets, opened on time, but so many people crowded inside that the bank paid out $400,000 by noon, leaving just $43,000 in its vaults. By the early afternoon, customers had taken $3 million out of the city's nineteen banks, forcing six to shut their doors as demand was outstripping supply.
Around one o'clock, just as it seemed the frenzy would only escalate, a rumor began to spread downtown that Isaias Hellman, one of the founders of the Farmers and Merchants Bank, was coming to Los Angeles. Hellman's reputation in Los Angeles was legendary. He had gotten his start as a clerk in a dry-goods store back in the days when Los Angeles was more Mexican pueblo than American city, and had risen to be California's richest and most influential financier. He was now the president of the Nevada Bank in San Francisco and had investments in water, gas, and rail lines up and down the state. Most important, his reputation as a conservative banker, one who insisted on keeping large gold reserves on hand at all times, was impeccable. Old-timers still remembered how Hellman had smoothed over the last bank panic back in 1875.
"Hellman is in town, Hellman is in town!" people shouted as they streamed toward the San Fernando Depot, just a few blocks from downtown. As they reached the train station, they encountered a most unusual scene. Hellman, a short, austere-looking Jewish man with gold-rimmed glasses and a dark Vandyke beard, dressed in a black frock coat and a top hat, stood by the tracks. A cadre of guards surrounded an armored rail car and watched carefully as workers heaved bags of gold into a Wells Fargo Express wagon.
The wagon laden with gold lurched forward and started its trip to the Farmers and Merchants Bank just a few blocks away. Isaias and his brother Herman, the bank's vice president, rode ahead, their grim faces reflecting the seriousness of their mission. Shortly after the bags were brought inside the bank, the two men started to heap mounds of gold coin on the mahogany counter, in plain sight of the worried customers. Hellman had brought more than $500,000 from his personal account in San Francisco (about $11 million in 2006 dollars), and all that coin soon became towers of gold stacked on the counter, a testament to the financial strength of the Farmers and Merchants Bank.
The sight of that shiny metal was a tonic. As the frantic crowd watched the golden towers grow, its panic subsided. Many customers redeposited the funds they had withdrawn in such frenzy. By the end of the day, Farmers and Merchants' coffers were replenished; in fact, deposits were up by $100,000.
As the word of Hellman's gesture spread, frightened customers at other banks calmed down. It soon became clear that the crunch was just temporary and that there really was enough money to go around. The panic ended.
Never before had the California economy depended so much on the actions of one man. It would not be the last time.

NEW ALBANY — Floyd County Superior Court Judge Maria Granger's courtroom recently overflowed with people who gathered to recognize the first graduate of the county's Veterans Court.
Susan Jones, 26, a member of the United States Naval Reserve and a student at Indiana University Southeast, entered the Veterans Court after she was charged with battery resulting in bodily injury in December 2011. Jones said the charge came nearly a year after she had served 11 months in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
While serving in Afghanistan, Jones said she didn't experience any trauma that she directly relates to her subsequently getting in legal trouble and becoming involved with Veterans Court. She did say, however, the transition of returning to life in Floyd County as a civilian wasn't easy for her, and even more difficult for others to understand who haven't served overseas.
"Just being in that environment [in Afghanistan] you go into a whole different mode," Jones said. "Your adrenaline switch is turned on, and it is like when you come home nobody understands it."
Jones said when she returned from her tour of duty, she was disoriented by the lack of structure of a normal, civilian life.
"[In combat], you wake up a certain time. You know what you are going to do. You know when it is going to end. And, you know if something happens you got to be ready to go. You are kind of always in fight-or-flight mode — survival mode. It is hard to cut that loose when you get back home," Jones said. "When you come home, you don't have that structure. There is too much freedom [here], and there, it is, like, a given. You know what has to be done. There are no questions about it. I just don't think anyone understands how it is when you come home. It is hard to reacclimate and readjust to civilian life."

BROWNSBURG — At about 1 a.m. Friday, Brownsburg Police were summoned to the Village Pantry at 1471 S. Green St. in reference to a robbery that had just occurred.
When they arrived, officers found an employee in the office area of the facility. Police secured the business and confirmed from the employee that she had been robbed.
She told officers that a white man wearing a yellow ski mask and camouflage jacket entered the store and demanded cash from the register. The employee said she complied with the man's orders.
She described him as being about 5'11" to 6' tall and weighing 180 to 200 pounds.
Once the man obtained the cash, the store clerk said he instructed her to go into the store's office and lie down on the floor until he left.
Police say the suspect stole about $200.
BPD detectives obtained video surveillance footage of the robbery from the Village Pantry. They are requesting assistance from the public in helping to identify the suspect. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact Det. Cpl. Jeff Klayer by calling 852-1109 ext. 2122 or by e-mailing to firstname.lastname@example.com.

SearchStorage.com: What can users expect from your upcoming presentation at the Storage Decisions conference?
It's going to be about laying the groundwork in terms of the different disk-to-disk backup solutions that are becoming available in the market so we'll have a snapshot of what is possible. I'm going to dig in to how to make a buying decision and which technology to pick and provide users with the questions they need to be asking and what the decision making criteria should be.
Virtual tape offers first step toward disk-based backup
Airline cuts sky high costs with virtual tapeSearchStorage.com: What's the difference between using a virtual tape library, something like EMC's Clariion Disk Library or embedded disk backup support in software packages like NetBackup or NetWorker?
Even though the term Virtual Tape Library has been accepted in the industry to mean tape emulation, EMC decided to call its product a disk library. The primary reason was they felt the term Virtual Tape Library was synonymous with caching technology that we've seen in relation to mainframe disk, which is much different than what EMC's Clariion DL does. At a conceptual level EMC's Disk Library and Virtual tape Libraries are like Quantum's DX100 or ADIC's Pathlight VX. Both behave like tape libraries. If users want to improve speeds without disrupting the existing backup environment a Virtual Tape Library is the easiest stepping stone. There's no pain involved relative to other solutions like software with disk [backup] support where the software is taking full advantage of the random access nature of disk whereas in virtual tape mode you miss out on the maximum speeds of disk-based backup and recovery. With software support there's more disruption in the environment with procedure and policy changes, but I find them incidental since you can stay with the same software vendor and all of a sudden you get disk support. SearchStorage.com: Many users are hesitant to adopt disk-to-disk as a primary method of backup. The technology is relatively new. Is it ready for prime time?
Because so many of the products are new I think the end user has to be concerned about how robust a solution is. You must not rely on vendors saying that it's 'ready for prime time.' We're seeing a mixture of established companies adding disk support and smaller vendors like Avamar Technologies adding novel solutions. The small vendors seem to understand that they're messing with user data and must really bake [their products] before coming to market. They know one black eye in this industry and you're out of business. Users reluctant to deploy these solutions in production environments would be wise to wait for it to be available from an established player. For example, Hewlett Packard is reselling Avamar. Users know that they can fall back on HP's support infrastructure to get them out of a jam. But even if a smaller company does not have that level of support available to you I still suggest looking at that solution. Bring it in and beat it up because you're going to live with your selection for the next few years. SearchStorage.com: What type of end user should consider implementing a disk-based backup solution and when should they start the planning process?
I don't think there's a single enterprise of any size that's not ready for disk-to-disk backup. If they don't [move to it] they're going to have a calamity on their hands. I believe between 85 and 100% of all companies will implement disk-to-disk backup within the next 18 months. Practically every enterprise is in a situation today where, from a backup and recovery perspective, they have been in a primitive land. Fundamental backup and recovery methodologies have not changed in the last 15 years. Increasingly, users have gotten further and further behind because incoming data rates are higher than ever, the pressure to maintain a 24x7 environment and the urgency with which people want data back is increasing.

Former Baltimore Ravens, and now current Miami Dolphins, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, thinks that now is maybe, probably when we're finally going to see the New England Patriots lose their monkey-fisted grip on the AFC East, thanks mainly to their best receiver allegedly murdering a dude and going to jail for it.

WorldTeam in Leesburg
On April 27-29, SkillsUSA had 19 of our 20 competitors in Leesburg (our Welding competitor was in Australia competing) for team training and coaching as we continue to prepare for the WorldSkills Competition to be held in Leipzig, Germany, July 2-7, 2013. The training was designed to help them get to know their fellow team members, team leaders and staff and feel confident about the entire WorldSkills event.
During our time together, we provided them with information and training about traveling abroad, representing the United States, being a leader and managing time and stress. We also conducted scenario training based on actual events/issues competitors have experienced at prior WorldSkills Competitions. Competitors were able to talk about any issues, technical training, etc., that they may have. In addition, we visited the German Embassy to get a feel for German culture and learn about the country and then had lunch at a German restaurant. During lunch, Sam Morgante, representing Congressman Jim Langevin (RI-02), joined us and addressed the team. (Representative Langevin is one of the co-chairs of the CTE Caucus.)
SkillsUSA is grateful for the WorldTeam training that is being conducted by the experts and for the tremendous support from our industry sponsors: Lowe's, Snap-on, 3M, Festo, AWS, AWI, ASE, Carhartt, John Deere, Toyota, Lincoln, Miller, Pivot Point, Unilver Foods, WOW Web Professionals and the state associations from Fla., Mass., Mich., Wis., N.C., S.C., Ohio and Pa.

BLUF: Potential middle-of-the-order hitter with average and power.
The Player: Miles Head (3B, Oakland Athletics) – Head joined the A's after arriving as a piece in the trade that shipped Andrew Bailey to Boston. After improving with a .338/.409/.612 line at Low-A and following it up with a .254/.328/.405 line in his first taste of High-A competition. After the trade to Oakland, Head returned to High-A and smoked 23 doubles and 18 home runs in the high-octane California League before his promotion to Double-A. As a 21-year old in Double-A in 2012, he posted a .272/.338/.404 line in 57 games.
Basis of Report: Compilation – Personal Observation (NYPL 2010, Carolina League 2011), Industry Contacts
Scouting Report
Body (6-0, 215): Thick, hulking frame. Has to consistently work on his conditioning and monitor his body. Good strength and while big, can be a quality MLB body with work. Below-average athleticism.
Hit: Excellent natural hitter. Tremendous bat speed, near-elite actually. Gets after it with his swing and doesn't get cheated. Will chase out of the zone but has bat-to-ball ability to make it work most of the time. Quiet load/trigger and then an explosion of his hands and the bat to the zone. Has potential for plus hit with modest adjustments against more advanced pitchers. Could hit .280+ with good on-base ability and some swing and miss. Grade – 40/60
Power: Natural strength, bat speed and aggressive swing leads to easy in-game power and projection for power utility at the highest levels. Can drive the ball out to all fields and really shows exceptional power to the pull side. Crazy bat speed with lift in the swing to get the ball up and out. Has potential for 20-25 home runs a year with approximately the same amount of doubles. Easy plus now and going forward. Grade (raw power) – 60/60
Arm: Third tool with plus grade. Arm is very strong and fits at third base. Consistent throwing mechanics, even when on the move, leading to good accuracy. Ball has plenty of carry and velocity across the diamond. True third base arm. Grade – 60/60
Fielding: Moved back to third base in 2012 and was solid but there are still skeptics. Shows decent hands and a solid ability to read the ball hit right at him. Struggles moving laterally and gets a little clumsy when he needs to move. Charges the ball okay. Still learning to stay back on some balls and take the big hop, relying on his arm, but that should come with experience. Big questions surrounding ability to improve quickness and side-to-side reads. Projects below-average at the position but bat could allow a team to accept it and move on. Grade – 30/40
Speed: Below-average in every respect. Not a part of his game and how his body develops will determine if he remains simply below average or degrades into the "plodder" range. Current work to improve conditioning and quickness bodes well for holding his own. Grade – 40/40
Summation: Bat-first player but not one without some modicum of defensive hope. Natural hitter with tremendous bat speed. Aggressive, almost violent swinger that takes a huge hack and shows feel for contact. Uses the whole field most of the time but has bouts of being power hungry and pull happy. Can recognize pitches and work counts but will expand the zone and should have some swing and miss at all times. Potential .280 hitter with .340-.350 OBP potential. Will strike out but not excessively. Power should settle in the 20-25 range for both home runs and doubles, making him a legit middle-of-the-order threat. Defense lacks significant projection at third base but he might do enough to stick. Not a complete disaster at hot corner and has arm to play the position. Below-average defender that makes up for it with his bat. Hard worker that will do what's necessary to improve. Potential solid-average player when all facets are considered.
Relative Risk: High. Poor defensive profile will give him a limited window to establish at MLB level; will have to hit everywhere he goes.
Future: Has impact potential with the bat and could explode on the national scene with a strong return to Double-A in 2013. On a track for late 2014 big league arrival and could have an impact in 2015. Has solid-average projection if he can stick at third base but loses value and looks more like a second-division type if he moves to first base.

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa) may also be referred to as industrial cannabis, Indian hemp or hemp. The plant has a long history, having been grown for the production of items such as textiles, paper, rope, fuel, oil and stockfeed. More recently, wider applications for industrial hemp have included composite building materials, oil and chemical absorption materials, animal bedding, kitty litter, motor vehicle insulation and linings - all produced from the fibre, as well as products derived from hemp oil which include cosmetics, paints, printing inks, solvents and animal feed.
The Cannabis sativa plant contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) the psycho-active (mind-altering) ingredient produced in specialised glands found primarily in the flowers surrounding the seeds, and to a lesser extent, on the leaf surface of the plant. No THC is found in the seed. The difference between industrial hemp and marijuana used for illicit drug purposes is that the THC exists in significantly lower concentrations in industrial hemp.
Generally, only Cannabis sativa with a THC concentration of 3% and above is considered attractive as marijuana and less than 3% is considered as industrial hemp. However, commercial-grown industrial cannabis plants grown for seed or fibre production in Queensland must not exceed 1% THC.
Note: Hemp is not approved as a human food in Australia.
Commercial fibre and seed production opportunities in Queensland
The Drugs Misuse Act 1986 (the Act), part 5B and the Drugs Misuse Regulation 1987 ( the Regulation) part 4 provides for people to engage in the commercial fibre and seed production of industrial cannabis, also known as industrial hemp, in Queensland under controlled conditions.
The object of part 5B of the Act is to facilitate the processing and marketing of, and trade in, industrial cannabis fibre and fibre products; the processing and marketing of, and trade in, industrial cannabis seed and seed products, other than for the purpose, directly or indirectly, of producing anything for administration to, or consumption or smoking by a person.
Part 5B of the Act, among other things, enables activities to be carried out under controlled conditions for the commercial production of industrial hemp fibre and seed; research into the use of industrial hemp as a commercial fibre and seed crop and plant breeding programs to develop new or improved strains of industrial hemp.
The Act provides for a system of licensing of growers and researchers and authorisations for other ancillary persons such as seed suppliers, seed denaturers, manufacturers and analysts. Coupled with this system of licensing and authorisations is a compliance monitoring program carried out by inspectors appointed for part 5B of the Act. People wishing to obtain a licence to engage in the commercial production of industrial hemp must meet strict eligibility and suitability requirements.
You can download the Act and Regulation for free from the Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel website or buy it online from the Queensland Government Bookshop.
Alternatively, contact the Customer Service Centre to order the legislation.
If you intend to grow or research (plant breeding or other research) industrial hemp, you must have a licence. There are three licences available - a grower licence, category 1 researcher licence or category 2 researcher licence. The licence type you need depends how you intend to use this low-THC form of Cannabis sativa. Licences may be renewed every three years.
Licence applications are lodged with Biosecurity Queensland and must be made on the approved form and be accompanied with the prescribed fee.
Characteristics of each licence
Grower licence
This licence is required by growers wishing to grow industrial cannabis plants to produce industrial cannabis fibre or seed/grain. Licensed growers may produce industrial cannabis plants from certified cannabis seed (seed certified to produce plants with a THC concentration in their leaves and flowering heads of not more than 0.5%). However, the legislation states that industrial cannabis plants may have a THC concentration in their leaves and flowering heads of up to 1%. The difference recognises that the leaves and flowering heads of plants grown using certified cannabis seed may have more than 0.5% THC because of environmental conditions beyond a grower's control.
Despite the potential of the industrial hemp industry, grower licence applicants should thoughtfully weigh up the pros and cons of entering into production before applying for a licence, because the industry is very much in its infancy. Growing the crop may well be the easy part of the exercise. However, unless a market for the crop can be established, production could prove futile. Having established a market for your crop you should ensure that the necessary infrastructure is available to meet any processing requirements.
Category 1 researcher licence
This licence is required by researchers wishing to carry out research or plant breeding programs with class A research cannabis plants or seed; class B research cannabis plants and seed and industrial cannabis plants and seed.
For plant breeding programs to achieve best results, it is desirable to have access to all available characteristics. This process may require introducing new accessions into plant breeding programs possibly sourced from international seed banks or from the wild where the THC concentrations are unknown. For this purpose, researchers use class A research plants which have been defined as a cannabis plant that may have a THC concentration in its leaves and flowering heads of 3% or more. These plants may only be grown in a locked glasshouse.
A class B research cannabis plant, which is defined as having a THC concentration in its leaves and flowering heads of more than 1% but less than 3% can be used by licensed researchers who wish to draw from a relatively broad range of cultivars for the purposes of breeding and/ or crop agronomy for the selection of plants with desirable characteristics suitable for commercial production.
The final objective of all plant breeding will be to develop plant varieties with desirable characteristics and with a maximum THC concentration of 0.5% in their leaves and flowering heads from which seed will be multiplied to be sold as certified seed for commercial production, or for use as a manufactured product.
Category 2 researcher licence
This licence is required for those researchers who wish to engage in research or plant breeding of class B research cannabis plants and seed and industrial cannabis plants and seed only. In other words a licensed category 2 researcher is not permitted to use class A research cannabis plants and seeds for research or plant breeding purposes.
Authorisations and conditions for all three licences
The authorisations for these licences are set out in sections 50 to 52 of the Act. There are set conditions imposed on all licences provided in section 64 of the Act and section 29 and Schedule 8 of the Regulation. In addition the chief executive has imposed on all licensees a number of additional conditions considered necessary for the proper performance of activities authorised by the licence.
Licensees are required to:
- notify when planting has taken place
- advise under which licence and for what purpose planting has taken place
- advise when plants have failed and how these failed plants have been dealt with
- notify when plants are at the required stage in growth for sampling purposes
- deal with plants once a licensee decides not to renew a licence and the licence has expired.
Licence renewal
A licensee may apply for renewal of their licence upon application to Biosecurity Queensland prior to the expiry date for the licence. An application for renewal must be made on the approved form and be accompanied by the prescribed renewal fee.
The Act provides for a licensee to continue to operate under their existing licence after its expiry date while their application for renewal is being considered.
Find out more about grower or researcher licences .
Authorisations for other industry participants
As well as licensees, other participants in the industrial hemp industry are provided for in the Act and must abide by conditions set out in the Regulation. These participants include:
Inspectors appointed under division 11 of part 5B of the Act will monitor and inspect the activities of licensees in accordance with certain powers (Act, division 12) to ensure compliance with the Act and Regulation. In undertaking these duties, inspectors may ask for documentation, check records, and take plant samples for THC analysis.
Inspectors also have the power to ask a licence holder for assistance, including, for example, to produce a document or to give information (Act, section 102). The conditions under which inspectors are authorised to operate are provided in the Regulation under division 5 and schedule 7(3).
Research officers
Researchers employed by the department who conduct plant breeding research on Cannabis sativa must be authorised by the chief executive (Director-General). Conditions apply. (See sections 15, 16, 17, and schedules 7(2) and 9 of the Regulation).
In accordance with section 12 of the Regulation, carriers engaged or employed by a category 1 or category 2 researcher, a grower, a DAFF researcher, an inspector, or a seed supplier are authorised to transport industrial cannabis plants or seed, class A or class B research cannabis or processed cannabis ('consigned cannabis').
Seed suppliers
To be recognised as an industrial cannabis seed supplier, application in writing must be made to the chief executive (Director-General). To be recognised, the business must have a current recognised quality assurance program that conforms to an industry standard or code of practice, and must be a member of the Queensland Seed Industry Association or a similar organisation in another state. Conditions apply. (See sections 20, 21, 27, and schedules 7(4) and 9 of the Regulation).
Under section 22 of the Regulation, the owner or operator of a facility which undertakes the processing of industrial cannabis seeds by cracking, de-hulling, heating, or treating in such a way that prevents seed germination is known as a denaturer, and is permitted to possess industrial cannabis seed for this purpose. The denaturer is then permitted to supply denatured seed to a person who is authorised to possess processed cannabis. Denatured seed would be used in manufacturing seed or oil products. The conditions which apply to denaturers are given in schedule 7(1) of the Regulation.
Under section 23 of the Regulation, the owner or operator of a facility which uses industrial cannabis for or in manufacturing a product for wholesale or retail sale is permitted to possess processed cannabis.
To conduct analysis of cannabis to determine its THC concentration a person must hold an approval, granted under the Health (Drugs and Poisons) Regulation 1996. The analyst can only analyse cannabis plant material in a laboratory whose functions and operations are accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia for technical competence to undertake drug analysis. (See section 24 and schedules 7(5) and 9 of the Regulation).
Family members of licensees
Under section 25 of the Regulation, immediate family members of a licensee are authorised to help the licensee perform functions associated with the growing and harvesting of industrial hemp.
Employees of authorised persons
Under section 26 of the Regulation, an employee, (which includes an agent) of a licence holder is authorised to perform activities associated with those of the licence holder.
Approved places under a licence where activities may take place
Section 55 of the Act requires licence applicants to specify the place or places in Queensland where the applicant proposes to carry on activities under the licence. It follows that licensees must advise Biosecurity Queensland in writing whenever they intend to change any arrangements with respect to adding or deleting places where licensed activities are intended to take place.
No licensing activity is to be carried out at a place which has not been approved by Biosecurity Queensland.
When a licensee, a member of the licensee´s immediate family or a genuine employee (including a bona fide agent) of a licensee are the only persons with access to industrial hemp growing at an approved place, all these persons are either covered by a licence or other authorisations under the Act. However, there are licensing considerations to take into account when a person who is none of the above owns or occupies the place or leases the place to the licensee for industrial hemp production purposes. Provided this person has no interest whatsoever in the actual growing of the crop, does not assist in any way with the production of the crop and is merely desirous of providing land for industrial hemp production then the person would not need a licence. However, Biosecurity Queensland needs to give prior approval of that land. It would also be necessary for Biosecurity Queensland to receive a written undertaking from the person leasing or otherwise providing the land of their non-involvement in the growing of the industrial cannabis on that land. Under this scenario only the licensee or immediate family members or employees (including an agent) of the licensee may be on the land with respect to actual production of industrial cannabis plants.
However, if an owner, occupier or lessor of land will be expected to assist with the plant´s production, for example, to carry out tasks such as but not limited to watering, fertilising or general weeding of the crop on that land, then that person must either seek a grower licence in his or her own right or there must be a written employment or agency agreement established with the licensee and the person owning, occupying or leasing the land. Biosecurity Queensland must be provided with a copy of the agreement which sets out clearly that the person is on fact an agent or employee of the licensee.
These requirements are in place to ensure that persons are not innocently found to be in illegal possession of Cannabis sativa under the Act possibly rendering them to the severe penalties for illegal possession under the Act.
If there is any doubt then the person concerned may be best to obtain a grower licence in their own right.
Compliance monitoring
Participation in the industrial hemp industry requires the activities of licensees to be monitored by inspectors appointed for part 5B of the Act.
Monitoring is based on a user-pays principle. Licensees must pay the reasonable costs of compliance monitoring activities performed under the licence, including any laboratory analysis necessary to determine the concentration of THC in the leaves and flowering heads of cannabis plants in the licence holder's possession. Licensees should expect to have their crops analysed for THC concentration. Where more than one variety of cannabis is grown, licence holders should expect to have each variety analysed for THC concentration. The cost of inspections is based on the time taken to conduct the inspection, plus their travelling time. Licensees should allow around $1,500 in their annual commercial hemp production budgets to cover these inspection and analytical costs. Where repeat inspections are necessary due to non-compliant behaviour, the licensee will be required to pay the full cost of these additional checks.
Licensees should also be prepared to make their records, required to be kept under the Act as a condition of their licence, available to an inspector for checking when requested to do so.
Information on growing
Information can be sourced from relevant industry or research groups, the internet, industry publications, journal articles and books.
Under section 8A of the Act, it is an offence to publish instructions, or possess a document containing instructions, about the way to produce a dangerous drug (which includes Cannabis sativa). Section 8A(2) of the Act however, provides a defence to such a charge in relation to the production of cannabis as a commercial fibre or seed crop, where a person can prove that the person published the instructions, or possessed the document containing the instructions, for the express purpose of commercial production of industrial cannabis.
Seed supplies
Prior to making application for a grower licence, it is advisable that you ensure that seed supplies are available for the type of crop you wish to produce, and the climate in your growing region.
For example, although seed of temperate varieties can be sourced from Australian and foreign seed suppliers, agronomic trials in Queensland have shown that these varieties are not optimal for fibre production in Queensland's climatic conditions. Temperate varieties have a propensity to flower too early in summer to produce an economically viable yield of stems. Subtropical or tropical varieties of industrial hemp with a low concentration of THC are not yet widely available. For this reason, it is expected that a major focus on plant breeding over the next few years will be to develop suitable varieties for fibre production under Queensland conditions. Nevertheless, temperate varieties may be suitable for grain production.
Licensees wishing to acquire cannabis seed from overseas will need to comply with Australian Government importation protocols. Information can be found on the Australian Quarantine Inspection Services (AQIS) website.
Note: the term 'industrial hemp' is used to include 'industrial cannabis' and 'research cannabis'.
Please refer to section 46 and section 4 of the Act for all the definitions relating to the commercial production of industrial cannabis. The following are some of the key definitions from these sections.

Recommendations for good cheap eats- Center City
Get breakfast and lunch at Reading Terminal Market http://www.readingterminalmarket.org There are aready a number of threads here as to what to get.
Also there are a lot of inexpensive places in Chinatown just to the north of the Market.
In addition to more specifics about types of places, more about location might be helpful, as Center City covers a lot of territory. There are several good falafel places around the city. Lately, I've been partial to Philadelphia Chutney Company in the Rittenhouse neighborhood. Huge, filling dosas for a very reasonable cost. If you want to head a little south of Center City, there are some great cheap taquerias in the 9th St. Italian Market area.
Thanks for the help everyone. I'll be stationed at the convention center and my hotel is a few blocks away. Price-wise would probably like to keep it under 15 when possible. Sit down places for dinner would be fine but otherwise probably more grab and go.
Thanks again for the help!
hasnt gotten a lot of love on this board, but im a fan of argan moroccan at 17th between sansom and walnut. they make semolina bread, which is fluffy and grainy (in a good way) at the same time. and there are tables if you feel like sitting down
re: InSearchOfTacos
re: bluehensfan
i'm not a huge fan of Argan, despite being a huge fan of Moroccan food (and liking the guy who runs it, and used to work at El Fuego). Had a few lunches there and one dinner. Like it but don't love it, and dinner's kinda spendy.
My most basic philly cheap eats?
Soft pretzels. Teh ones you get from the hot dog carts. With mustard (no cheese).
not lunch, but they're great and they're cheap (usually 50c) and somewhat filling.
and get some water ice, too. Get lemon or cherry. If it's summer and it's hot.
Both of these are local specialties, but they're not the kind of thing you cross town to get.
RTM is by far the best of all of these, but I will mention a few others. Just had lunch at DiBruno's. Not immensely cheap, but a good lunch can be had for under $15 in terms of soups, salads, great sandwiches and small pizzas.
Also, stopped by capogiro today to try it for the first time. The gelato was everything people said it was: phenomenal, but their sandwiches were very cheap(starting at around $4.50) and looked delicious, though I didn't have one.
Its out of the way in Old City, but Han Dynasty is fabulous chinese food. Delicious and affordable. Near Rittenhouse, I like Village Whiskey and Dandelion.
re: xoxo_ticho
I do not disagree that both Village Whiskey and Dandelion serve very good food.. but they are not in the ballpark of what I would call "cheap eats." Fish and Chips is 21 dollars at Dandelion, and an imperial pint of ale is 9 dollars. At Village Whiskey a burger ranges from 11-26 dollars and a cocktail is on average 12 dollars. Great food .. not light on the pocketbook.
re: cwdonald
re: barryg
To be fair the range could actually be 8-26. They have a home made veggie burger for eight bucks... not exactly a blue light special... but cheaper than their meat burger. But as barryg appropriately mentioned, that does not include any toppings or sides. Great food... not exactly a bargain. But then again quality these days is not cheap.

Hi everyone,
We at Firmhouse are both Ruby (on Rails) and PHP / WordPress developers and we decided to blend the worlds and start with creating a little open source online tool for easy WordPress installation and theme/plugin generation.
We call it PressPass. For example. To generate a new clean WordPress installation, you can execute:
presspass new my_wordpress_site
This will download the latest version of WordPress and unpack it as the directory my_wordpress_site so you can add that to your virtual hosts or any other development directory you use.
The tool itself is written in the programming language Ruby and you can install it with Rubygems. Rubygems is installed on your Mac by default and it's quite easy to install it on Windows and Linux too.
We are planning on adding new options like presspass generate theme my_theme to generate a clean WordPress theme with a few basics already set up.
For more info, check out the code on GitHub: http://github.com/michiels/presspass. Feedback is appreciated!

Personally, I like the command line better for these kind of things because you can integrate it with other scripts and tools better, and it fits into our development workflow with version management and deployment.
A GUI would be great for some people too but a command line tool is much easier to use on multiple operating systems.

Tomio Geron, Contributor

And that new paradigm trickled down far past real estate. With cars, for example, the old ideal of buying a ride after high school to squire friends and dates is eroding. The share of new cars bought by Americans 18 to 34 dropped from 16% in 2007 to 12% last year, according to Lacey Plache, chief economist of Edmunds.com.
Millennials, the ascendant economic force in America, have been culturally programmed to borrow, rent and share. They don't buy newspapers; they grab and disseminate stories a la carte via Facebook and Twitter. They don't buy DVD sets; they stream shows. They don't buy CDs; they subscribe to music on services such as Spotify or Pandora (or just steal it). Sabrina Hernandez, 23, used to work at Starbucks, but she isn't going back after averaging $1,200 a month this fall hosting strangers' dogs in her apartment through website DogVacay. "It's so much more rewarding than working in a customer-service setting."
Once you get beyond homes and cars, though, creating peer marketplaces for smaller-ticket items proves more challenging, since the transaction has to be easy enough to justify the owner's effort. Some startups have had success in high-value niches like high-end sporting goods, food-related products and music equipment and instruments. "The value proposition here is not to rent anything from anyone," says Ron J. Williams, cofounder and CEO of SnapGoods, a neighbor-to-neighbor lending service launched in 2010. "You have to serve a particular kind of person like a photographer who's traveling and needs equipment."
To ramp up usage Williams is currently going a step further: partnering with manufacturers and retailers, those crimped by the share economy, to turn his site's efforts into a try-before-you-buy sales tool, with consumers getting a credit toward a purchase.
Williams will surely find a receptive market. While hotels so far are letting regulators do the dirty work of targeting Airbnb, other industries are pivoting, most notably the auto industry. Besides the Avis acquisition of Zipcar, Mercedes-owner Daimler is rapidly expanding its car2go service that rents its Smart Fortwo cars by the minute. The service debuted in 2009 in Hamburg, Germany and Austin, Tex., and is now in 18 cities including 9 in North America. Car2go charges 38 cents per minute including fuel, insurance and parking and is designed for shorter rides than at Zipcar. Car2go customers don't have to return the auto to where they got it and don't have to reserve in advance. Says Nicholas Cole, CEO of car2go North America: "Interest from other cities has been remarkable. We're in discussions with a number of cities in North America and other parts of the world."
Meanwhile, Home Depot also has a unit that rents out products, in about half of its 2,000 stores, from trucks to drills and saws. The company emphasizes keeping its rental stock in top condition, which is one advantage over peer-to-peer, says Michael Jones, Home Depot's director of tool rental.
But again, that's corporate America mimicking the share economy. General Motors has fully embraced the peer-to-peer market. In late 2011 General Motors invested in a $3 million round in RelayRides, which is in thousands of cities. The reason? Marketing. GM hopes people sharing a Chevy will eventually buy one. Additionally, GM can incentivize sales by promoting the idea that a new car can now come with a rental income stream attached. You can even open your GM car with RelayRides' iPhone app using GM's OnStar system. "The partnership allows GM to sell consumers what they're looking for: mobility," says RelayRides founder Shelby Clark.
Economists remain perplexed as to how to measure all this activity. "We're going to have to invent new economics to capture the impact of the sharing economy," says Arun Sundararajan, a professor at the Stern School of Business at NYU who studies this phenomenon. The largest question for academics is whether this all creates new value or just replaces existing businesses.
The answer is surely both. It's classic creative destruction. There may be a short-term negative for the economy because a person isn't buying a car. (A UC Berkeley study shows that for every vehicle used by companies like Zipcar, 9 to 13 cars are being ditched by car owners.) But long-term economic efficiencies result, and that's ultimately good for everyone. Airbnb commissioned a study of its economic impact on San Francisco last year and found a "spillover effect." Because an Airbnb rental tends to be cheaper than a hotel, people stay longer and spent $1,100 in the city, compared with $840 for hotel guests; 14% of their customers said they would not have visited the city at all without Airbnb.
"It's never been the case in our economy that utilizing assets more efficiently leads to fewer jobs," says Robert Atkinson, president of the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation. "If I were in hotels I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep over it."
And perhaps it's artificial to even divide the world into the individual versus the corporation. Many critics deride Airbnb and the like as short-term fads for slow economic times. (Airbnb's report found that 42% of hosts use the income to pay everyday living expenses.) Safety, value, customer service and quality of goods remain areas where these sites could stumble.
There are also regulatory issues: New York and San Francisco, fueled by pressure from annoyed neighbors, have enacted laws that try to crimp short-term house rentals. California has been citing ride-sharing services for operating without a taxi license. And there are all sorts of tax questions, such as whether an Airbnb stay should be hit with a local hotel tax. SideCar CEO Sunil Paul, who has sold two startups including FreeLoader, which he cofounded with Mark Pincus in 1995 and sold for $38 million, believes it's a matter of time before regulators catch up to innovation. "Regulators need to recognize that the rules the PUC is using were literally invented in the era of highways and telephones. We are now moving into a new era," he says.
But human beings have been swapping before money even existed. New technologies only grease the wheels of these ancient transactional instincts. Even if growth levels off, it doesn't change the fact that peer exchanges are simply another way for entrepreneurs to reach customers.
Dylan Rogers, a 27-year-old sales executive in Chicago, began renting out his BMW 6 series on RelayRides because he wasn't using it as much as he intended. Now that he's making $1,000 per month from it–well above what it costs to finance and maintain–he recently bought a Jeep and plans to add a Charger specifically to rent out, with the goal of netting $40,000 a year for his three-car fleet. "I want vehicles that are useful for the marketplace," he says. Is he an entrepreneurial individual, or a small car rental company? Either way, there's nothing to stop him from using the tools of the share economy to create the next Hertz.
Money arose to facilitate barter, but now the internet becomes money.
Even so, there's a value for tangible cash, for humble local transactions.

These businesses are all great ideas, until someone gets kidnapped and/or killed by some psycho using these services as their springboard. Maybe it's the east coast in me, but getting into a strangers car or letting someone stay with me that I don't know doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Background checks may be in place for some of this, but it all sounds pretty unsafe. It will only take a few instances of violence and people will think twice about these services.
And I'm sorry, but cab drivers are some of the most underpaid people on earth. Some of them work all day for basically nothing. Why is sticking it to them with Lyft and Sidecar a good idea???
Hey Brian! Have you ever used these services? I understand your fears, but these sound like the same fears that people had about sharing too much personal information on LinkedIn or getting packages in the mail from strangers through eBay. I think context is really decisive – if you know who someone is through their reviews, online presence and use of a real name… there is not a high likelihood that you're going to get screwed over or kidnapped. Strangers are often friends you haven't met yet and the sharing economy helps us to unearth that ideal. While not everyone is inherently good, plenty of people are. Just look at the number of people who have stayed on peoples couches through Couchsurfing all over the world without major incidence. Life is risky, but I'd rather get my needs met through sharing time, space and resources with other people than lead the consumer centric, individualistic existence that's gotten us where we currently are.
I have never used the AirBnB service or others like it. But comparing this service to Ebay or LinkedIn is crazy…someone sleeping in the room next to you is not the same as getting a package or posting a resume. Again, I think these are clever ideas, but I don't think they will last in the long run.
And like the cab services, these are also ripping off local businesses who have gone through the trouble to set up shop.
Brian, I agree it can be creepy. Some services are expanding in hopes of closing in the trust gap (see trustcloud for example).
It's not an east coast reservation; here in Baltimore we have two peer-to-peer sharing companies ToolSpinner and ParkingPanda.
Facebook connect also helps bridge the gap on who's who.
While I agree with the "strangers " part
how is business " sticking it to cab drivers" who in most every city I know of has a monopoly that is protected by the government
That is what I was going to say, that bad things can happen with any business these days even with real cabs, or the fact that there are fake looking cabs too. Also Brian a lot of Cabs in SF love these newer services, like Uber and the new Uber Cab which cab drivers use now and always you to hail a cab with the app. I feel safer getting in a lyft then a cab though. With Lyft i see the make of car and a headshot of driver way before I get in, making it less strange then getting into a cab. And if someone wants to rent out there house on Airbnd that is up to them to post in first place, you know what your getting into before you join any of these services and no one is making anyone use them either!
Hey we dont stop going to shared public spaces just because something bad happened there. For example, I would still go to park even if some violent incident happened there. Children still go to schools. You still drive your car on shared roads and almost 35,000 people die on US roads every year because of the concept of "sharing".
Yup, nailed it!

Near miss for Pointless couple
Updated 6:20pm Wednesday 13th February 2013 in News
IT was a case of so near yet so far for a North-East couple who missed out on a £6,000 jackpot when they appeared on a popular television game show.
David Ralph and Katie Banoub (correct), from Darlington, appeared on the BBC1 show Pointless on Wednesday (Febraury 13).
Having held off the challenges of the other contestants to reach the final, the pair were asked to name an obscure film starring the actor Gerard Butler.
Despite coming up with three answers that reached single figures when compared against producers' survey results, the coveted 'pointless' answer proved elusive.
The pair said they had a fantastic time despite missing out on the prize money.

Walt Whitman Shops, formerly Walt Whitman Mall, is getting a along with its name change. But is it good for the community?
The upscale shopping destination's expansion will add 11 new stores with a total of 72,000 square feet of additional retail space, according to Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group, the mall's owners. The project also calls for a pedestrian-friendly exterior streetscape, new landscaping, upgraded site lighting, 150 additional parking spaces, driveway reorientation, new traffic lights and a bus stop relocation to the south side of the property.
The project will bring in retail and construction jobs and enhance the allure of the upscale shopping destination. However, some Patch readers are concerned that the mall's owners are catering to an elite clientele as middle-income shops are squeezed out, and say its ever-soaring heights overshadow ongoing problems in Huntington Station.
Do you think the mall expansion will help the surrounding community? Vote in our poll or tell us in the comments.

GCP Fair Policing Media Fellowship

Introduction to the project
For 2012-2013, a dedicated cadre of New York-based Game Changer Fellows will work in partnership with The Brotherhood-SisterSol, to produce a series of micro-documentary films that reveal the untold stories and unfair consequences of NYPD's stop and frisk policy. We will introduce you to the everyday people on the front lines who are changing the game to create a new political will to end stop and frisk practices by NYPD. The new media produced by our fellows will provide an array digital media "weapons" for activists and organizations working to end unfair policing.
Stop and Frisk – At a Glance
- The New York City Police Department (NYPD) conducted approximately 685,000 stops and frisks in 2011 and they are on track to reach over 700,000 in 2012
- Black and Latino people are consistently and intentionally stopped at a hugely disproportionate rate: nearly 85 percent of all stops.
- Close to 90% of the stops resulted in no arrest or summons whatsoever.
- The overwhelming racial disparity and the low rate of lawful arrests or discovery of contraband that result from stops and frisks raise serious questions about the purpose or usefulness of this practice.
- Even when these stops yield arrests, almost all are low-level, many resulting directly from citizens questioning the rights of the police to stop them in the first place. While most of these arrests don't result in criminal convictions, they often trigger severe consequences – including job loss, eviction, and even deportation of permanent residents who are not citizens.
More Young Black Men Frisked in NYC Than Live in NYC
The seeds for the Game Changers Project were planted back in 1997 when as a reporter for Vibe Magazine I interviewed Gordon Parks, the famed black photographer for LIFE magazine who covered the Civil Rights Movement and who would become Hollywood's first black director of a major Hollywood film (Shaft). I spent the day with Parks and learned many things about photography, film, art, and creative self-determination. One of the stories he told me that remains an inspiration for my work was about the time he spent covering the Black Panthers. Parks believed that the storyteller, if courageous enough, would face risks and obstacles that could be just as serious as the activist or revolutionary. The following is an excerpt from another interview where Parks recounts that experience. -- Cheo Tyehimba Taylor
