Game Genie
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2012) |
The Game Genie is a series of cheat systems originally designed by Codemasters and sold by Camerica and Galoob. The first device in the series was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, with subsequent devices released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Mega Drive/Genesis, and Sega Game Gear. All the devices temporarily modify game data, allowing the player to cheat, manipulate various aspects of games and sometimes access unused content and functions. It is known as the first example of consumer-friendly "game enhancement" by means of directly altering the binary code of a game. Five million units of the original Game Genie products were sold worldwide,[1] and most video game console emulators feature Game Genie support. Emulators that have Game Genie support also allow a near-unlimited number of codes to be entered whereas the actual products have a much smaller limit that usually tops between three and six codes.
No Game Genie devices were developed by Codemasters for the fifth generation of consoles. However, other companies have produced similar hacking devices such as the Code Breaker and GameShark. The Game Genie brand was later revived by the company Hyperkin, who released cheat systems for newer consoles.
Operation and design[edit]
The original Game Genies were pass-through devices that attached between a cartridge and the console. Upon starting the console, the player is prompted enter a series of characters referred to as a "code" or several such series that reference addresses in the ROM of the cartridge. Each code contains an integer value that is read by the system in place of the data actually present on the cartridge.
Because the Game Genie patches the program code of a game, the codes are sometimes referred to as patch codes.[citation needed] These codes can have a variety of effects. Most published codes give the player some form of invulnerability, infinite ammunition, level skipping, or other modifications that allow the player to be more powerful than intended by the developers. In rare cases, codes can make the game more difficult or even unlock hidden game features that developers had scrapped and rendered unreachable in normal play.
The Game Genie sold with a booklet of codes for use with various games available for the system. However, new codes continued to be developed and new games were released after these booklets were published. To address this, Galoob created a paid subscription service where subscribers would receive quarterly code updates. In addition, Galoob also ran ads in certain gaming publications, such as GamePro, that featured codes for newer games. Today, these codes and many others developed by players and hobbyists can be found on the Internet.
To create new codes, it is possible to enter random codes into a Game Genie. This evolutionary approach is equivalent to using random POKE operations. Usually, entering random codes will result in no noticeable change in the game or freezing the game and possibly corrupting save data, but a useful difference may appear in the game if this process is repeated many times. One must write down the random codes for each attempt because there is no method to view the codes after starting the game. Once a useful code is discovered, making slight modifications to this code has a much higher probability of producing additional useful codes. With ROM files, emulators, and decompilers for these games and systems, it has become possible to reverse engineer games to find specific ROM data to modify. This information can be directly converted into Game Genie codes.
The Game Genie attaches to the end of the NES cartridge, causing the cartridge to protrude from the console when fully inserted, making the depression impossible. Therefore, the Game Genie was designed in such a way that it did not need to be depressed in order to start the game. This design put even more stress on the ZIF socket than standard game insertion, bending pins and eventually causing units to be unplayable without the Game Genie present.[2]
The design of the Game Genie also made it very difficult to insert into a newer top-loading NES. An adaptor was made to deal with the problem, but few were requested; today they are hard to find since the stock was liquidated.
The Game Genie does not work with Super Nintendo games that contain a performance enhancing chip (e.g. Super FX, SA-1, and S-DD1 chip) such as Star Fox, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Doom and Street Fighter Alpha 2. It also has problems with the SNS-101 remodel SNES. When used with an SNS-101, only 2 codes can be used at a time, and they must be entered on the top and bottom lines of the Game Genie menu.
Game Boy[edit]
The Game Boy edition similarly has a slot for cartridges while itself needing to be inserted into the console's game slot. It has two face buttons for toggling codes on/off or to return to the code input screen, and it houses a compartment to contain a very small code booklet in the back.
The physical design made it difficult to be used with any version of the Game Boy other than the original. Although it could be made to work, if one attempted to use the Game Genie on the Game Boy Pocket or Game Boy Color, they would find the large top portion of the Game Genie would come into contact with the top of the Game Boy Pocket/Color before it was fully engaged. Therefore the Game Genie would need to be bent backwards, placing strain on the mechanism to allow it to be pressed down far enough to reach the Game Boy Pocket/Color cartridge contacts. Despite this history, it will work fairly well with the Game Boy Advance SP. A standard unit will not fit in a Super Game Boy, but with some minor modification to the plastic, it will fit and work normally.
The unit is also not compatible with Game Boy Color cartridges (which will not physically fit into the unit). This, however, includes original Game Boy games with Game Boy Color enhancements, when played in a Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance system. However, color enhanced games will function if played in an original Game Boy system.
Sega Genesis[edit]
On the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis, the Game Genie can function as a country converter cartridge since most of these games are only "locked" to their respective regions by the shape of the cartridges and a set of a few bytes in the header of the ROM. Some games do not work with the Genesis Game Genie; see "legal issues" below.
Sega Game Gear[edit]
The Sega Game Gear's Game Genie had a more complicated design than those for other systems. When inserted into the cartridge slot, another slot would pop-up to insert the Game Gear cartridge. It also had a compartment which contained a book of codes. The codes were printed on sticky labels to put on the back of the Game Gear cartridge. When entering codes, the player could easily see what to type in rather than looking through the book.
On the screen in which a code is entered for the Game Gear Game Genie, a player typing the word "DEAD" will cause the screen to move up and down, possibly as an Easter egg.
Some games do not work with the Game Genie (see "legal issues" below).
The Game Genie is covered by US Patent #5112051, "Interfacing device for a computer games system", filed May 30, 1990. This patent expired on May 30, 2010 according to current US patent law.[3]
Legal issues[edit]
The introduction of the original NES Game Genie was met by fierce opposition from Nintendo. Nintendo then sued Galoob in the case Galoob vs. Nintendo, claiming that the Game Genie created derivative works in violation of copyright law. Sales of the Game Genie initially stopped in the U.S., but not in Canada.[4] In many gaming magazines of the time, Galoob placed Game Genie ads saying "Thank You Canada!" However, after the courts found that use of the Game Genie did not result in a derivative work, Nintendo could do nothing to stop the Game Genie from being sold in the U.S.[5] Before the lawsuit was filed, Galoob offered to make the Game Genie an officially licensed product but was turned down by Nintendo.
Around the time of the lawsuit from Galoob, Nintendo tried to use other methods to thwart the Game Genie, using ROM checksums in later titles intended to detect the cheat modifications. These measures were partially successful but some could be bypassed with additional codes. Later versions of the Game Genie had the ability to hide Genie modifications from checksum routines.[citation needed]
Sega, on the other hand, was a full endorser of the Game Genie, with their official seal of approval. One of Sega's requirements for this, however, was that the Game Genie wouldn't work with games that have a save feature, such as the Phantasy Star or Shining Force series.
Distribution in the UK[edit]
Distribution of the Game Genie product in the UK was handled by Hornby Hobbies, usually associated with model railways and the Scalextric brand. Working closely with Codemasters they were also responsible for setting up a dedicated telephone helpline to cater for the ever increasing need for newer codes required to cheat/enhance the latest games.
At CES 2012, a company named Hyperkin announced that they were going to bring back the Game Genie for the 3DS[citation needed], DSi and DSi XL, DS Lite, DS, Wii, PS3, and PSP along with a new device called Save Guru.[6]
On the NES, the game genie code "IKAAAE" became a gaming inside-joke to an extent once it was discovered. IKAAAE always seems to have an effect on the game, minor (Super Mario Bros. generally gets Constantly Changing color Pallets, Slowdown, Graphics and sound bugs, etc.) or major. (Mega Man II, Wily's logo sometimes appears out of nowhere, Castle Stage 1 resets game, rendering game unwinnable, Music Gone, Boss Portraits glitched, etc.) The code is very well-known for its ability to glitch almost every game, mostly for amusement.
With FCEUX[edit]
FCEUX, an NES emulator, allows to Decode and Encode/Recode Game Genie Codes. With this, people can create varies of codes, or make entirely new codes, knowing that will be effected, should they not have knowledge of data code when making one from scratch by inputting just the Letters. For example, the popular Super Mario Bros. Code "STAGEO", that makes almost all enemies throw hammers, edits address C900 and has value ED. Changing the value to FF makes the code turn into "NYAGEO", which bugs up the enemy movement. On the other hand, changing the value to E5 makes the code turn into "STAGEP" and makes the enemies throw hammers like in "STAGEO", but at a slower rate.

I think Coach Jeff Grigsby does an awesome job with these kids and I know that they have been trying to recruit more kids to be a part of this team, but that is hard to do when archery is not recognized as a sport like football, basketball, volleyball, etc. are.

My wife and I decided to stop smoking a few years back. Because cigarettes had gotten so expensive and people were putting up 'no smoking' signs everywhere, such as in the stores, homes, cars, etc. People that didn't smoke would give us the 'shame on you' look.

Pat Shortt Tickets and Event Dates
Show Details
Pat Shortt's new one-man comedy show charts the life of Dixie Walsh (Jumbo Breakfast Roll, Where Did My Money Go) a solo lounge musician. The show is a tribute night to Dixie where all his peers and friends (the audience) come to celebrate his career. During the night Dixie reminisces about the path his career has taken and the struggles he has had to endure to get to the top of his game.
Pat Shortt is one of Ireland's best-loved comedians. As the character Dixie Walsh, he has had one of the biggest selling number one singles with 'The Jumbo Breakfast Roll'. Until now the much loved Dixie Walsh was a character who appeared in two of Pat's sell out shows – "You Won't Get Away With That Here" and "The Hall ". Now Dixie takes centre stage to tell his life story and shares his unique style of music with you in Pat's new show I Am The Band. Pat Shortt's quirky interpretation of rural Irish characters brings to life Dixie's mother, his teacher and other locals who queue up to recall their daft memories of Dixie and his music.
I Am The Band is a hilarious look at life on the back roads between Ireland's dance halls, and a tribute to one of this country's true music legends - Dixie Walsh.

Read This Blog, Get Paid To Fish?

NAFC Club Blog
How do I get someone to pay me to fish?
That, I suspect, is what anglers are really asking when they ask me "How do I get a sponsor?"
I'll address those questions
and many more
in this blog in the weeks to come.
When I was initially approached to write this blog, my immediate response was "Yes! I would love to!" But upon sitting down to write my first post, I felt like Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex in the City," brain-storming column topics.
Some bloggers must have readers that enjoy a play-by-play, hour-by-hour documentation of their day, with only restroom breaks omitted! This blog won't be one of those.
And some blogs read like infomercials, promoting a product or service, but not explaining why their authors like Brand X over Brand Y. I won't be writing that type of blog either.
When someone says "you have to buy this, it's the only thing that will work, blah, blah, blah," I am totally turned off. Tell me what makes the product you are promoting better than competing products. Tell me how you use it and why you it works for you.
I'm a big girl. I can decide if something will work for me or not. We've all dealt with a "know-it-all"
the person at work or in your local fishing club that has the "you have to do it this way only" attitude. I'm not that kind of person and won't be that kind of blogger.
I've found that the best teachers are often the people who are always learning, trying new things, open to new ideas. They say, "this is what works for me," or "this is how I like to do it," and explain why. Not everything works for every person. To advance to a higher level
both as anglers and human beings
we must be able to process new information, digest it, individualize and tweak it, then apply it in a way that works for us.
So my blogging oath to you is this
I will always offer information I have gained through personal experience or from industry experts, with the goal of growing the sport of professional and recreational angling.
Sponsorships: Getting paid to fish?
As I travel the country, competing in bass tournaments and making promotional appearances in my logo-emblazoned jersey and towing my sponsor-wrapped Ranger boat, I'm often asked "What makes a good pro-staff angler?" and "How do you get sponsors?"
Since most deadlines have passed to get on any company's 2012 pro staff, I'll focus today on the first question, "What makes a good pro-staff angler?"
There's much anglers can do to strengthen their existing relationships with their sponsors. And with the boat-show season quickly approaching, the time to act is now. One of the most insightful pieces of information I was given by a sponsor is "catch enough fish to keep yourself credible, but we need people to move product."
It's great to catch a huge sack in every tournament. But what will move the needle more on the pro staff "value-meter" is ink and airtime. Ask yourself "What do I do, or can I do, to generate newspaper, magazine or radio interviews?" If you can consistently generate ink and airtime, you become an asset to your sponsor, providing them a good return on their investment in you. And don't forget about social media like Facebook, fishing forums, etc.
Do you want entry-level or top-level sponsorships?
Also important to sponsors is visibility. Contact your sponsors and ask for their boat-show schedules, open houses and other promotional dates on their books. I understand that family time is precious and in short supply. But you have to decide, do you want the entry-level discounts that almost any club tournament angler can get, or do you want to move up to the next level? When your lower unit goes out the day before your big tournament, do you want the mechanic to stay late and get it running?
If so, you need to show your appreciation for your boat dealer. As an expert that relies on your boat, electronics and other equipment for your livelihood
and not someone just trying to make a commission from a sale
you are a very influential resource for dealers to make available to potential customers. Your soft sell can be very powerful. It will show loyalty to your sponsors, willingness to be a team player and your commitment to building your fishing and marketing resume. So ask your sponsors "when," not "if," they would like your help.
Show and Tell
I saved the best for last. To sky-rocket your pro staff position and make yourself priceless to sponsors, get them leads!
If you're at a gas station and someone asks "what is that thing?" Explain to them that the Talon is a shallow-water anchor. Use your remote control to demonstrate how it works. Don't be in a hurry to leave. Answer all their questions. Ask them questions. Do they fish? Own a boat? In the market for a new one?
If your new friend is a boat owner, request their contact information and ask if it would be OK to have someone contact them with more information. Then pass that information to your sponsor to pass along to a dealer or sales person in the potential customer's territory.
This will let your sponsors know you are doing your job, which is to promote their product.
What about the fishing? Don't you get paid to fish?
That's just a perk to being on a fishing pro staff.

Using Lucene to Search Java Source Code Publish Date: Jan. 18, 2006
Most uses of the Java-based Lucene search engine are for searching typical text documents. But what if you want to search Java code itself? Renuka Sindhgatta argues that this would be a boon for finding reusable code, and shows how to adapt Lucene to parse Java code for maximum searchability.

Emotional Adultery: How Husbands and Wives Disrespect Each Other

How Husbands Disrespect Their Wives
Husbands who stare at, or flirt with other women may not think they are being disrespectful, but it is very hurtful to their wives. The bible talks about this in detail about how a man is to love his wife. "Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loves the church and gave himself up for her." (Ephesians 5:25)
Disrespecting our wives by ogling, touching, chatting with online, flirting, or staring at other women is not conducive to a healthy relationship, simply because it causes resentment and jealousy between couples. Husbands who make a habit of looking at other women in the wrong way are also disrespecting God's creation and the one flesh of marriage.

Husbands: Did you know that one of the things that adds up to great sex for your wife is actually not sexual at all? Stay with us here. It's actually something most women need and desire: Physical touch that doesn't lead to sex. They need to feel secure that every physical expression from their husbands make isn't with the expectation of moving toward intercourse. We surveyed 700 couples across the country for our book, The 5 Sex Needs of Men and Women, and more than 59-percent of women ranked nonsexual touch as a top sex need.

There is probably no greater weakness in this 21st century society than the lack of real relationships. Whether we are talking in the church or out of the church this powerful self-centered principality has locked on like super glue to the hearts of this generation. It is very necessary to understand the importance our Creator placed on REAL RELATIONSHIPS and how they work to foster healthy lifestyles. Without them we are just like animals.

As it looks like now the word "Friend" is going the way of many words in the 21st Century. When I was growing up the words had different meanings;
"Gay" meant someone who was happy.
"Bad" was something that wasn't good for you.
"Sweet" was something that tasted sugary.
"Posse" were the people who rode off after the bad guys who got away.
"Friend" was someone who would stand by your side through thick and thin.

How are your relationships? Are the patterned after the Bible or society? Do you understand the degree of depth that you operate in your present relationships? What degrees of operational unity are you comfortable with? In the 21st century it is absolutely necessary that we return to biblical models of relationships if we are to disciple and be discipled in His Church.

A number of years ago, I had the privilege of teaching at a school of ministry. My students were hungry for God, and I was constantly searching for ways to challenge them to fall more in love with Jesus and to become voices for revival in the Church. I came across a quote attributed most often to Rev. Sam Pascoe. It is a short version of the history of Christianity, and it goes like this: Christianity started in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a culture; it came to America and became an enterprise.

Medicaid programs may not exclude qualified health care providers from providing services that are funded under the program because of a provider's scope of practice. Such a restriction would have a particular effect on beneficiaries' ability to access family planning providers, who are subject to additional protections under [the Social Security Act].
Last month, a federal judge refused to block [JURIST report] the Indiana law signed by Governor Mitch Daniels [official profile] earlier that week. Several other states have acted recently to tighten restrictions on abortions. Last month, Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy websites] filed a lawsuit [JURIST report] challenging a South Dakota law requiring women to seek counseling at a pregnancy center and wait three days before obtaining an abortion. Earlier that week, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton [official website] vetoed a pair of bills [JURIST report] that restricted state funding for abortions and banned them altogether after 20 weeks. Also in May, Texas Governor Rick Perry [official website] signed into law a bill that requires women seeking an abortion to first get a sonogram [JURIST report]. Multiple states have acted to ban abortions after 20 weeks, when some studies suggest a fetus can begin feeling pain, including Missouri, Indiana, Alabama, Ohio, Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas and Idaho [JURIST reports].

suitable from 0 - 5 months
This beautiful mobile is designed to match the B is for Bear bedding range. It has delicate relaxing music to help comfort and soothe your baby at bedtime.
The item immediately broke whilst trying to assemble it. The ribs that support the canopy are very flimsy plastic and one snapped whilst inserting into the canopy before we even placed it above the crib. Using some rubber bands, cord tie and the existing crib canopy support I managed to make it both safe and functional. Baby loves it, fascinated and transfixed from the second I set it in motion. Dad hates it, flimsy, tinny and loud plonky 'rock a bye baby lullaby that repeats ad nauseam. Nice for Baby, horrible for Mum and Dad.
Obaby Mobile is beautiful and very easy to assemble great for nursery - Fast delivery would always recommend people to order from kiddiecare
Very simple with cute teddies. It will go perfect in unisex nursery! Packaged nicely so would make a very nice gift, I was expecting a box but it was actually in a plastic purse (best way to describe it)
Pefect for a nursery
This relaxing mobile is designed to match the B is for Bear bedding range and should fit on to most cots and cotbeds. The delicate music will soothe your baby to sleep.

text: Hopefully this will offer someone in a similar predicament some encouragement. We dug up the soil pipe between the septic tank & dry well yesterday. I am relieved to say that the problem appears to be a failed soil pipe just before the dry well. About a foot from the dry well, the pipe had failed and there were some large chunks missing. The pipe was almost completely clogged with debris, roots and so on. We discovered that the dry well had a cover, and the level wasn't full enough to cause the lack of flow from the septic tank. We did replace the failed soil pipe and I have added a baffle into the septic along with a clean out.

It's hard to write dispassionately about Michael Voris, but I'll try.
In fact, it's not about him, but about something he says in this clip on the trouble with democracy. He believes that only "virtuous people" (which equals "faithful Catholics") should be allowed to vote, but that a "benevolent dictatorship" would be an improvement on any kind of democracy. (If you suspect I'm misquoting or taking him out of context, watch the clip and I think you'll agree I'm not.)
It doesn't take much imagination to foresee the verification and enforcement glitches that might crop up in establishing who's virtuous and who's not, whose faithfulness was acceptable last election year but seems to be …

The estate tax is just another form of income tax.
If a person receives an asset, they have received income, and will have to pay tax on it. That's all the estate tax, or "death tax" boils down to. It's not unfair, it works the same way as every other form of income a person receives.
The only difference is the estate pays the tax, not the beneificiary. We don't exempt other asset transfers from income tax, why should we estates?

FLC stands for Female Leadership Community and is an empowerment and leadership club. Every Tuesday afternoon ten Belizean girls meet as a book club to read and discuss personal issues and career dreams. FLC girls develop inner strength, trust and communication skills in a safe circle of sisterhood. The girls write in their journals and post their dreams on the club blog.
Many Belizean girls never enroll in high school. Those who do often drop out due to teen pregnancy, lack of money for school tuition, lack of home support, or lack of vision about opportunities available to them as educated women. On the small Caribbean island of Caye Caulker there is only one high school and no funding to hire a trained youth guidance counselor. There are no island social workers, addiction counselors, women's shelters, recreation centres or employment agencies.
FLC meetings provide a safe space for girls to discuss issues: healthy relationships, self esteem, empathy, integrity, anger management, abuse, sexuality, teen pregnancy, and career exploration. FLC has a curriculum organized around three units: Ignite, Education, Agitate. Reading and journal writing are integrated into all activities. The girls practice computer skills to post their thoughts on the club blog. Members must remain enrolled in high school and are eligible for FLC scholarships
FLC girls gain confidence in their academic and individual abilities, inspiration from strong female role models and guest speakers, and guidance about career and academic options beyond traditional women's work in Caribbean society. Guest speakers have included a social worker, self-defense trainer, homeopathic practitioner and lawyer. Girls talk with their sisters. Girls grow into women and mothers. Skilled writers can express ideas. Empowered females will positively change Belizean society
Total Funding Received to Date: $1,417 Remaining Goal to be Funded: $33,583 Total Funding Goal: $35,000

Deputy chief
charged with DUI
SHELDON Burlingtons deputy police chief is facing a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Vermont State Police said troopers pulled over a motorist on Route 105 in Sheldon for failure to use a turn signal shortly after midnight Sunday.
The operator, 44-year-old Andi Higbee of Colchester, was arrested for drunken driving and later released on a citation. He was off duty at the time.
Burlington Police Chief Mike Schirling said in a statement that Higbee has been placed on paid administrative leave. Higbee has a court date scheduled for Aug. 12.
The Burlington Free Press said Higbee pleaded guilty in 1999 to driving under the influence while he was a sergeant with the Burlington Police Department. He was demoted to corporal for four months.MORE IN Vermont NewsA NY Consultant Has Been Hired to Help City With Zoning Re-Write Full StoryMONTPELIER — A Senate panel will review state laws surrounding the protection of children...

The changes may not be enough to address local law enforcement concerns, however.
Rep. K.L. Brown, R-Jacksonville, filed a bill this legislative session to legalize marijuana for medicinal uses only. The Alabama Medical Marijuana Coalition, which composed the bill, is working on amendments to address concerns from other lawmakers. One amendment would add a 5 percent tax to medical marijuana sales that would be distributed to city and county law enforcement agencies in the state to combat the trafficking and production of illegal drugs. Another would define the relationship between patients and doctors to curb possible abuse of the system.
"That's being done so a person cannot just walk in and give money and get a marijuana card," said Ron Crumpton, co-president and executive director of the Alabama Medical Marijuana Coalition, formed in June for the sole purpose of legalizing medicinal marijuana in Alabama. "The change will require a doctor to do what he normally does when handling prescriptions."
Crumpton said the bill and the amendments had garnered positive responses from other state legislators.
"I'm real optimistic we'll get it passed this year," he said.
Among other things, the legislation lists the medical conditions that can be treated with marijuana and indicates the drug can only be purchased legally at mandated marijuana distribution centers. People given prescriptions for medicinal marijuana will be required to carry identification cards authorized by the Alabama Department of Public Health. The bill also states a patient can possess no more than 8 ounces of marijuana at a time or no more than 12 marijuana plants at a time.
To Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson, legalizing the ability to own and grow marijuana plants has him most concerned.
"Under this bill, I can grow it at home," Amerson said. "Can I grow cocaine at home or opiates? No and there is a good reason for that — it's because I'd be self-medicating."
Amerson said the bill was turning a blind eye to the medical industry's pharmacy system. He added that legalizing growth of marijuana could lead to increased abuse of the drug among teenagers.
"For young people, the number one source from where they get marijuana is free from family and friends," Amerson said.
According to a study last year by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, 55.6 percent of teenagers between 12 and 14 years old get marijuana free from their friends while 10.1 percent get it from family.
The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) does not support current forms of medical marijuana policies in the country. Currently, 16 states allow medical marijuana use. According to the NIDA's website, though studies have shown marijuana contains active ingredients that relieve pain and other ailments, marijuana itself is an unlikely medication candidate.
The site states marijuana is an unpurified plant containing chemicals with unknown health effects and that it is typically smoked, further contributing to adverse effects. The site also states the promise in marijuana lies instead in designing tailored medications, developed from marijuana's active components, for specific conditions or symptoms with improved risk and benefit profiles.
The NIDA states effects of marijuana use include short-term memory loss, loss of reaction time, altered judgment and mood changes. However, a January study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham indicates that occasional use of marijuana apparently affects lung capacity less than smoking cigarettes. An occasional user would be someone who smoked a joint a day for seven years, said Dr. Stefan Kertesz, associate professor at UAB and senior author of the study.
"This study did not include people who smoke enough to end up in addiction treatment," Kertesz said. "This was a survey of the general population."
The UAB study compiled data from a 20-year study on causes of cardiovascular disease funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.
"With marijuana, we saw airflow actually improve a little bit relative to cumulative use," Kertesz said. "And we also looked at tobacco smoke, which has a very predictable relationship to air flow — it goes down when smoking increases."
However, Kertesz noted, while marijuana smokers showed increased lung capacity in the study, that did not suggest that marijuana improves lung function.
"The act of smoking marijuana could just train users to test better," Kertesz said. "You have to take a real deep breath and blow for the air flow test, which is very similar to how people smoke marijuana, as opposed to cigarettes."
The Alabama bill does not address the controversy surrounding the use of marijuana for medical purposes. However, it does address problems of abuse in the system that other states with legal medical marijuana have faced, such as Colorado.
That state legalized medical marijuana in 2000 and established a registry system for the drug. However, unlike Alabama's bill, Colorado's law did not specify what constituted a doctor-patient relationship.
"We had reports of people going into marijuana dispensaries, saying things like 'I have an ear ache' and getting an authorization form," said Mark Salley, director of communications for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, which oversees the marijuana registry.
Salley added that in 2009, a court decision overturned a badly-worded section of the marijuana law, basically removing the five marijuana patient limit for caregivers in the state. With caregivers now allowed to have as many patients as they wanted, the number of marijuana dispensaries in the state and medical marijuana users exploded.
Salley said the number of registered medical marijuana users in Colorado increased to 41,107 in 2009 from 4,720 in 2008.
"Before that, the registry grew very slowly for years and years," Salley said.
By the end of 2010, the number of registered users had increased to 88,920.
Almost two years ago, however, Colorado amended the law to address the problems, Salley said. After a peak of 127,816 registered users in July, the number has dropped and when last checked in August, was at 88,872 registered users.
Salley could not confirm that the drop was due to the changes in the law though.
"If you asked 10 different people you'll get 10 different answers," he said. "It could be that some people just no longer needed to use the marijuana."

College Station, Anderson-Shiro School Districts Seek Testing Waivers
Posted: 1:40 PM Jan 3, 2013
Reporter: AP / KBTX Staff
Nearly two dozen Texas school districts are seeking exemption from some state and federal testing requirements as they push to design new student evaluation systems.
Anderson-Shiro CISD and College Station ISD are two Brazos Valley schools involved in the consortium.
The waivers are sought by the Texas High Performance Schools Consortium. The 2011 Legislature created the group to develop new strategies for public schools.
The Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday that the 23 consortium members say they need more flexibility to design an updated educational blueprint. An update presented last month to the Texas Education Agency suggests developing a community-based assessment and accountability system.
Lawmakers who convene this month and the TEA could act on the waiver requests.
Education Commissioner Michael Williams, in a Dec. 21 letter to Gov. Rick Perry and legislators, says he's not declining or rejecting the recommendations at this time.

I have never been, but do you think you would be able to see the animals? I've never noticed any lighting.
(By the way, what part of Texas are you from?)
We're going to WDW in November, and on Tuesday, November 23, Animal Kingdom is open until 8 pm. Has anyone ever done the Safari after dark?
I'm trying to decide if I want to see this (since the only other time I've know AK to be open this late is New Years Eve) or if I want to see one of the night time shows.

A couple of years ago the Animal Kingdom had night time safaris but with a different story line. Not having been there during that time, I can't recall the story of if the animals were out and about.

I'd give the safari a try at night, just to see what you can see and what the different could be. It's not that often one gets a chance to see the AK at night.
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...

Given a topological manifold , its mapping class group is the group of isotopy classes of orientation preserving homeomorphisms .
Often this is considered specifically for a Riemann surface with punctures in which case a central role is played by Dehn twists?.
The mapping class group is of importance in many areas of geometry including study of Teichmüller spaces, of moduli spaces of surfaces, of automorphisms of free groups and in geometric and combinatorial group theory, hyperbolic geometry and so on. Some of the key contributors were Max Dehn, Jakob Nielsen, William Thurston, David Mumford. Recent proof of the related Mumford conjecture has been accomplished by Madsen and Weiss.
For the automorphism group of the manifold formed in Euclidean topological geometry, hence equipped with its canonical structure of a topological group. Let furthermore be the inclusion of the connected component of the identity.
is the correspodning coset space/quotient group.
The classifying spaces of mapping class groups for 2-dimensional manifolds are encoded combinatorially in the geometric realization of a category of ribbon graphs. See there for details.
