Town tackles panhandlersThe town is looking to rein in aggressive panhandlers.
The Rutland Town Select Board has passed an ordinance restricting the activities of panhandlers, keeping them a certain distance from facilities like public toilets and ATMs and otherwise requiring them to moderate their solicitations. The board unanimously approved the ordinance at a meeting earlier this month, and town administrator Joe Zingale said it will take effect Feb. 2 if nobody files a petition for a public vote.
Weve had a few, in the past year, a couple citizen complaints, Zingale said. Ive gotten a few myself, at least three.
Zingale said individual board members also got calls about panhandling at the intersection by Green Mountain Plaza.
People who would be stopped at the red light, they would walk up to them and stand there, talk to them, he said.
Another complaint noted panhandlers seemingly operating in shifts at the location. Zingale said there was also a safety issue.
For people to be standing on that island and stepping out into traffic thats not a good location, he said.
Under the direction of the board, Zingale said he contacted the Vermont League of Cities and Towns, which provided him with a copy of an ordinance adopted in Burlington. That became the template for the towns ordinance.
This will give us the authority to move the people along and prohibit whats going on, Zingale said.
The ordinance prohibits soliciting anyone waiting in line, in a parking lot or within 15 feet of a building entrance, public toilet, ATM, bus stop, handicapped parking space, pay phone, public information booth, financial institution or check cashing business.
Soliciting while intoxicated is prohibited, as is soliciting someone who has already declined a solicitation or in poorly lit areas. The ordinance also forbids panhandlers from blocking traffic, recklessly touching people and their property, using violent, obscene or threatening gestures or being unnecessarily loud.
The ordinance also states No person shall solicit by stating that funds are needed to meet a specific need, when the solicitor has the funds to meet that need, does not intend to use funds to meet that need or does not have that need.
Violations are punishable by fines ranging from $50 to $500.
Dan Barrett, a staff attorney for the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said that while he was not familiar with or aware of any complaints regarding the Burlington ordinance or about the issue at all in Vermont the Rutland Town one raised a number of red flags.
Copying and pasting from one municipal ordinance does not mean that its lawful, he said. It could just mean nobody has challenged it.
Barrett said a number of the provisions are already covered by state statutes on assault and disorderly behavior.
While the ordinance does not outright prohibit soliciting money, Barrett said he did not believe the prohibitions against soliciting too close to a bank or a public toilet would withstand challenge.
The big problem with the ordinance is soliciting money is protected by the First Amendment, as is standing with a campaign sign, he said. I think the town could save itself a lot of trouble by not enacting it.

Student named a Best Attorney at regional mock trial tournament
Jen Roemen, a senior at Morningside College, was recognized as a Best Attorney at the Great Midwest Regional Mock Trial Tournament that was Feb. 8-9 in Davenport, Iowa.
More than 20 teams competed in the tournament, coming from as far as Minnesota, Illinois and Indiana. Roemen was one of only 10 students to be named a Best Attorney for Defense.
"This is a well deserved award for Jen," said Lillian López, associate professor of political science, who coaches Morningside's mock trial team with attorney Amy Ellis. "She worked very hard, particularly on her closing argument. Delivering a good closing argument is perhaps the most difficult skill to develop for the attorneys. She did a very good job."
Overall at the tournament, Morningside College won a round against Winona State University of Winona, Minn.; split a round with Cornell College of Mount Vernon, Iowa; lost a round against Grinnell College of Grinnell, Iowa; and lost a round against Hamline University of St. Paul, Minn.
"This is a very competitive tournament since teams want to earn bids for national tournaments or the championship," López said. "For a very young team, our students performed well. Successful teams work together for a considerable amount of time in order to deliver a poised and well-argumented case. Our team has great potential as we prepare for next year's season."
Last year Morningside's mock trial team advanced to the American Mock Trial Association's National Tournament in St. Petersburg, Fla. Morningside did not win overall in St. Petersburg, but it did win a round against Stanford University.

Looking for an economic update while enjoying good company? Join us for the Arvest Downtown Financial Forum, from noon to 1 p.m. on March 10, at the ConocoPhillips Garden Room at 310 SW Keeler Ave., Bartlesville, Okla. Drinks and cookies will be provided.Here's what else you can expect at the event:
We look forward to having you join us! There is no need to RSVP; just join us if you can.
Arvest Bank is pleased to announce that Stephen Boyd has been promoted to Consumer Lender for Arvest Bank in Springdale. Boyd, previously a Personal Banker for Arvest in Springfield, Mo., is excited to relocate back in the Springdale, Ark., area.Boyd first joined Arvest Bank as a Teller in 2011. Since then he worked as a Financial Service Representative and was promoted to Personal Banker in 2012."Stephen is a native of Springdale, so he has a great understanding of our community," said Christy Queary, Vice President and Consumer Loan Manager for Arvest Bank in Springdale. "Stephen's experience will add strength to our team and our ability to help people with their loan needs."Boyd graduated from Springdale High School in 2006 and earned his Bachelor of Science in business administration from Missouri Southern University in Joplin, Mo., in 2011.He and his wife, Hillary Boyd, were married in 2011. The couple attends Fellowship Church in Lowell, Ark.
Arvest Bank launched a new television campaign this month featuring real customers talking candidly about the bank and why they do business with Arvest. The five spots, filmed in five different Arvest branch locations across the bank's footprint, will air throughout 2014. For us, this campaign makes perfect sense. Every day we focus on serving our customers the best we can and making sure their needs are met. There is no better way to share Arvest's message of community-based,customer-focused banking than by letting our customers share their personal experiences.For the television campaign, two cameras and a seven-person film crew traveled 915 miles and filmed 40 hours of customer interviews during five days. Those 40 hours were edited down to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. A total of 137 customers were interviewed, including 10 couples, four families and two cheerleaders. A dog whose name is "Arvest Bank" even makes an appearance. The five television spots focus on Arvest's hours, locations, customer service and online and mobile banking. In one spot, customer Mary Parham said, "You know, I didn't rehearse this," and that holds true for each customer filmed. Each person spoke impromptu about what makes Arvest a different kind of bank. All of the commercials can be viewed on the Arvest YouTube channel.*

It's a new year, which means new plans, new goals … and new financial statements. Now that 2014 has rolled around, many of us have seen, or will soon see, requests from our lenders for an updated personal financial statement. As a credit analyst, I have seen financial statements of all sorts come across my desk – from the bare minimum to the fully detailed. In all honesty, I am more excited when I see the latter. Why, you ask? The more details to a financial statement, the better job I can do for you, my customer.I view my job as a credit analyst almost as a puzzle solver. I am given multiple financials – tax returns, personal statements, balance sheets, income statements – either to create a new loan proposal and/or to ensure we are assisting our customers to the best of our ability. The more details I am given, not only is my job made easier, but quite often I am also able to create a better loan presentation than if I were given the bare minimum.Ok, then what are these details I (the credit analyst) am looking for? I look not at the front page of the financial statement, but at the schedules attached. Real Estate
These are just a couple examples of the schedules and the information that might be required. All this information, while it may seem tedious to many, helps me (the analyst) present a complete picture of your operation to your lender. The more details we have, the better job we can do in assisting you in building and growing your operation to its fullest potential. Additional benefits to you, the farmer/rancher, are that you can see the equity you have built up in your operation and know exactly where you stand financially, and that there is a lesser chance of your lender having to reach out to you multiple times for additional information when you come to him with a request. Detailed financial statements are a win-win for both the agricultural lender and the farmer/rancher.Reprinted with permission from Ozarks Farm & Neighbor.
Disappointed by a product or service you've paid for? You don't have to settle for shabby performance. Most businesses want to keep you happy so you'll keep coming back. These strategies can help.Return to the Store or WebsiteYou can solve many consumer problems by talking to a store employee, or if you bought the item online, by returning it to the website. Do this as soon as possible because some retailers have time limits on returns and refunds. Online retailers often provide return instructions on the site or on your receipt. When shopping online, it's wise to consider the company's reputation and return policy before you buy.If the employee doesn't have the authority to help you, ask for a supervisor or manager. With each person, calmly and accurately explain the problem and what you would like them to do. Keep a record of your conversations — who you spoke with and when, and what action they promised.Call Customer ServiceYou may need to speak to someone at the company's national headquarters or to the manufacturer of the product. Many companies provide a toll-free number or address for their customer service department on the product packaging, warranty or receipt. If this is not the case:
If the first person you speak to can't help, ask for a supervisor.Write a Letter
You may want to send your letter by certified mail and request a return receipt. You'll have proof the company received your letter and who signed for it. Get Outside HelpIf your letter doesn't do the trick, you may want to contact the following organizations for help. Keep in mind that no one can guarantee you a refund. Con artists sometimes claim they can — but then insist on upfront fees or ask for your Social Security number or bank account information. Don't take their bait. There's no charge for filing a complaint with a government agency.State and Local Organizations
Federal GovernmentFile a complaint* with the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC does not resolve individual complaints, but your complaint helps law enforcement detect patterns of wrong-doing and may lead to an investigation. Many other federal agencies regulate consumer products and services. If you're not sure which agency to contact, call (800) FED-INFO for help.Dispute Resolution ProgramsMany consumers and businesses use dispute resolution programs — mediation and arbitration — as an alternative to going to court.
Some businesses require consumers to arbitrate their disputes and waive their right to go to court. Check your contract or product packaging for details.SummaryNo one will know if you have a problem with a product or service unless you tell them. Be proactive and polite when approaching a business for a resolution on a particular matter.

Beijing-based Koryo Tours agency has released the first public photos from inside the tallest building in North Korea: the 105-story, pyramid-shaped Ryugyong Hotel, which remains unfinished more than 20 years after construction began. Here, the hotel on Sept. 23.
A North Korean woman walked past the site of the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang on Aug. 22, 1990. North Korea began building the Ryugyong in the 1980s but stopped when funding ran out in the '90s.
This photo taken by Koryo Tours shows that the interior remains unfinished. Exterior construction resumed three years ago, but few have been allowed inside. Koryo says the hotel will open in two or three years.
Fireworks were set off around the Ryugyong Hotel to celebrate May Day in Pyongyang in 2009.
The sun reflected off the top of the hotel on April 1.
The hotel, seen here on April 11 is the tallest building in North Korea.
The hotel at sunset on April 11.
Visitors toured the top floor on Sept. 23.
A construction crane stood on top of the unfinished hotel on Sept. 19, 2008.
The hotel towered above Pyongyang on Oct. 26, 2011.

The Wichita River Festival opens a week from today, and there are some headlines from the food court I thought I should share.
For one, the food court is moving back "where God intended it," joked the festival director, Mary Beth Jarvis. After two years of setting up in experimental spots, the main food court will return to Century II Drive.
This is a headline, in my opinion. This year, for the first time, all food court areas will be smok-free. The Cox Kids Corner also will be a smoke-free area.
Also, NuWay — which left the festival in 2009 — is back this year, and the festival has also attracted another local restaurant. Larry Bud's will serve bacon-wrapped chicken tenders, hot links and more.
You can read a story outlining all the food court changes in the May 31 Go!, which will be dedicated to tall things River Festival.

Northeast False spirea (Sorbaria sorbifolia, Zones 2 to 8) works perfectly for flower arranging. It has plentiful, disease-free foliage; its fragrant, frothy, white flowers are similar to those of astilbe; and it blooms in late June, just in time for wedding season.
It took me about two years to realize why this shrub isn't more popular, and about four more years to eradicate its fleshy roots, which roamed 6 feet in every direction.
Goat's beard (Aruncus dioicus, Zones 4 to 7, photo at right) is a well-mannered alternative. It's a perennial, rather than a shrub, and has deep green foliage and wands of delicate white flowers in mid-June. Tips • Goat's beard is a North American native that's well suited to woodland plantings or the back of a shade garden. It tolerates full sun, but looks best in part shade. It grows 4 feet tall and wide. Needs moist to wet soil. • Good companions for goat's beard include hosta, astilbe, bleeding heart, lungwort, and coral bells. Pacific Northwest We think of English holly (Ilex aquifolium, Zones 7 to 9) as the ultimate Christmas decoration. As a garden plant, however, this dense 30-foot-tall evergreen tree causes problems.
Bird-deposited seeds have helped English holly naturalize in the Pacific Northwest. Because it can grow in sun or shade, it displaces native plants in several habitats.
Holly-leaved osmanthus or false holly (Osmanthus heterophyllus, Zones 6 to 9, photo below) is an evergreen shrub that grows 10 feet tall and offers many of English holly's good qualities without being a pest.
Its branches are just as lovely in holiday arrangements and it grows well in a pot or in the garden. Several cultivars are available: 'Purpureus' has dark stems, 'Variegatus' has a white leaf border, and 'Goshiki' has cream and bronze splashes on the foliage. Tips • Grow Osmanthus heterophyllus in sun or part shade. • Once false holly is established, it won't need supplemental water. • To prune false holly, take out one tall branch at a time. After cutting back each branch to where it attaches to a bigger stem, step back to see if it needs more pruning. —Marty Wingate, Seattle, WA
Midwest/Mountain Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) is a terribly invasive vine with fragrant, white to pink tubular flowers that turn yellow with age. This vine spreads rampantly, and its dense growth usually kills the plants it climbs on.
A much better-behaved cousin is our native scarlet honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens, Zones 4 to 8, photo below), which grows 10 to 12 feet tall. The blue-green foliage complements prolific clusters of tubular red flowers with yellow throats in May and June. The flowers are followed by red berries in summer and fall. Hummingbirds visit the flowers for nectar and birds eat the berries in the fall.
'John Clayton' is a nice cultivar with pale yellow flowers from June through November. Tips • Scarlet honeysuckle will grow in shade, but it needs sun to flower well. • Plant in well-drained sandy or loamy soil. • Grow on a trellis, arbor, or fence so the twining stems have something to wrap around. • The vine generally blooms on the previous year's stems, so prune to shape after flowering. —Natalia Hamill, Lawrence, KS Southeast Evergreen foliage, spring flowers, and bunches of black berries helped Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) win places in 19th-century Southern gardens.
But as birds spread the seeds, privet displaced woodland plants and became a landscape nuisance. Help stop this thug by removing it and filling its niche with something better. My top choice is wax myrtle (Morella cerifera, often listed as Myrica cerifera, Zones 7 to 10), a native shrub that serves as a host plant for butterflies and is a great food plant for birds.
Wispy wax myrtle leaves release a bayberry fragrance when crushed, and the waxy coating on the berries is scented, too. Sometimes called Southern bayberry, this nitrogen-fixing shrub will grow in sun or part shade, and thrives with little care. Tips • The species grows 15 feet tall, but compact cultivars such as 6-foot-tall 'Don's Dwarf' are easier to fit into small spaces. • You can prune wax myrtle into a hedge or sculpt plants into an elegant upright shape. • Remove the lowest branches from a mature wax myrtle to improve your view of its multiple trunks. —Barbara Pleasant, Pisgah Forest, NC
Southwest I once heard a local plantswoman moan, "I am so over Russian sage. It's a weed here." It's not exactly a weed, but Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia, Zones 4 to 9) spreads like crazy and is difficult to eradicate once planted.
The more compact version, 'Filigran' (Zones 5 to 9), doesn't sprawl and looks better in garden borders. Hollyhocks (Alcea, Zones 3 to 9) can also be bullies in the high desert, seeding themselves in places where you don't really want 6-foot-tall plants. Instead, try hollyhock mallow (Malva alcea, Zones 4 to 9), a 4-foot-tall beauty that knows how to behave.
Last year, when sunflowers (Helianthus spp.) took over one of my gardens, I vowed to get my yellow fix from Coreopsis grandiflora (Zones 3 to 9) and Gaillardia x grandiflora 'Arizona Sun' (Zones 3 to 9, photo above). They're just as brilliant in late summer, but won't turn your backyard into a sticky-stemmed jungle.
Tips • All of these plants like full sun and well-drained soil. • The blooms of hollyhock mallow tend to be brighter with a little protection from the desert sun. • If you're tired of yellow-and-orange flowers, try Gaillardia 'Burgunder' (also sold as 'Burgundy'), which has wine-red blooms. —Stephanie Hainsfurther, Albuquerque, NM

The Peanut Butter Saga.
That's what my girlfriend, Rebecca Ricks, named a recent and ongoing experience at our home.
Those friends of Rebecca on Facebook who saw the post about the saga might wonder about the plethora of peanut butter. After all, the whole thing started when I noticed we had four jars of peanut butter in a household where we each might have a peanut butter sandwich once or twice a year.
And that's not to mention the fifth jar I found after the saga was well under way or the other jar I found that had passed its expiration date and did not include in the count with the original group.
So what was with all that peanut butter in the first place?
Well, it goes back to our annual camping trips.
Every year, for maybe the past 10 years, Rebecca and I have gone on a camping trip to Land Between the Lakes in western Kentucky. For one or two nights, depending on our disposition and time, we camp overnight at the lakes where I get my fishing fix.
Naturally, when preparing for this trip, we pack food that will keep with limited or no refrigeration. And, yes, peanut butter is one of those foods. Having a loaf of bread and some peanut butter makes for a quick lunch.
Now this doesn't mean we always get through what we pack. Sometimes we pack food that barely gets touched.
That was probably the case with the peanut butter from one of last year's trips. Then, when Rebecca was at the grocery store stocking up for this year's trip she couldn't remember if we had any peanut butter at home and decided to buy more.
It doesn't help that I like crunchy and she likes smooth, so she almost always buys both types.
But peanut butter has a pretty good shelf life.
After this year's trip, during which we didn't even open the newly-bought peanut butter, I found the other two jars of peanut butter that were still good and one that had expired.
After I pitched the expired one, I put the others on the stovetop as a reminder that we needed to go through those, thinking we had lots of sandwiches in our futures. Rebecca suggested she could make some peanut butter cookies.
It was a desperate decision, but I was willing to do my best to help the cause by agreeing to consume said cookies.
So that's how it began.
A couple batches at the beginning of the week. Then another couple batches this past Saturday morning.
Some found their way to friends. Others went to guests at Rebecca's shop during Second Saturday in downtown Elizabethtown.
At one point, between those two baking sessions, I was getting dinner started and looking through a cabinet when I found yet another jar of peanut butter. This one had expired a year earlier and had to be pitched.
Rebecca made another batch of peanut butter cookies Sunday night.
They're almost gone.
She also decided to experiment with a sort of peanut butter pie, mixing the peanut butter with cream cheese and marshmallow cream and putting it in a chocolate pie shell.
The Peanut Butter Saga continues.
And I'm just the guy to help the cause.

Product Management & Product Marketing Whitepapers
Oftentimes our clients will ask us about specific marketing, product marketing or product management topics. To help them learn more about best practices we publish whitepapers on a regular basis.
Download our FREE Whitepaper Bundle and receive:
- Top 10 Product Launch Mistakes
- How to Create a Compelling Product Roadmap
- Top 10 Product Review Program Mistakes
- How to Run an Effective Beta Program
- How to Hire a Marketing Consultant or Contractor
- Product Marketing Versus Product Management

- Top 10 Reasons Developer Programs Fail
Top 10 Product Launch Mistakes
Whitepaper: Common Errors to Avoid to Ensure Success
An effective product launch can mean the difference between success and failure in the marketplace. This white paper covers the most common mistakes that and how to avoid making them.
How to Create a Compelling Product Roadmap
Whitepaper: Tips and Best Practices for Success.
Product Roadmaps can mean the difference between success and failure when delivering and marketing products. They can be one of the most effective tools in a Product Management professional's arsenal. Done correctly they can help win and keep large customers and partners, and can guide the engineering and strategic planning efforts of a company. Unfortunately most Product Roadmaps are created "On The Fly" and under pressure when sales or the company management makes a last-minute request. As a result they don't have the impact they should, and can be a source of much trouble if you aren't careful.
Top 10 Product Review Program Mistakes
Whitepaper: Maximize your chances of getting positive reviews.
Getting positive product reviews is a critical part of shipping a successful product. Because reviews come from an independent (and presumably unbiased) source, they carry much more weight than other forms of marketing such as advertising. When a positive review appears it supports (and magnifies) all other marketing efforts, and gives the product a much higher chance of market success and hitting its revenue goals.
How to Run an Effective Beta Program
Whitepaper: Best practices for running Beta programs for your products
Beta programs can be one of the most critical factors in the success or failure of a product. Yet many times they are not well-planned or are executed at the last minute with a lack of resources and focus. This white paper covers planning, recruiting, customer agreements, timelines and all of the other important aspects of running a successful Beta program.
How to Hire a Marketing Consultant or Contractor
Whitepaper: Ten things to consider when choosing a Consultant or Contractor
Want to make sure you hire the right consultant or contractor to get the results you want? This whitepaper discusses the top ten considerations when hiring a consultant or contractor. It includes tips and insights on how to evaluate candidates, common errors to avoid and a checklist to use during the process.
Product Marketing Versus Product Management
Whitepaper: An Overview and Comparison of Roles and Responsibilities
Oftentimes clients will ask us what the difference is between Product Marketing and Product Management. The two terms are used in a variety of ways and definitions vary greatly across different companies. This white paper clarifies the difference between the two functional areas and provides insights on what might work best for your company.
Lightweight Product Process
Whitepaper: How to bring better products to market faster.
Many companies have no product process in place for new products, making each new release a firedrill where the wheel gets revinvented time after time. Yet others have product processes that are documented with hundreds of pages of content that no one ever reads or pays attention to. This whitepaper provides ideas for how to implement a lightweight but effective product process at your company so that you deliver better products and reduce the stress level and number of mistakes at the same time.
Top 10 Reasons Developer Programs Fail
Whitepaper: Avoid common mistakes when recruiting developers
At the 280 Group we've been involved with creating and executing developer programs for many companies, and we've learned over the years what it takes to be successful. This white paper will outline the top 10 most common mistakes that companies make when running developer programs, and will give you some guidelines and advice based on years of experience so that you don't make the same mistakes.

Warning:YMMV I made this thread because I've noticed things have been slow around these parts for a while so some new description would help liven things up a lot bit.
The topic we'll be discussing, "crappy fanfictions". How much preparation do you give a story before publishing it and what is your definition of a badfic? Something that I've noticed about many new fanfictions is they often end up being "bad!fics" because of a lack of preparation or actual true commitment in writing them, no my comment isn't meant to come off as condescending. The definition of a bad!fic is one without an official definition, it's just something I decided to use to describe poor stories, I don't even know if people even use it. So, I'll say that badfics often include bland/bad characters, crappy grammar, bad pacing, bad description, shoddy dialogue, clicheness, choppy length, and/or unoriginal plot lines and points. There's a saying to describe badfics, "Rome wasn't built in a day", I feel as though some are caught up in the "hype" of how fun it would be to write a fanfiction at the time and race to write it down in a hurry and post it, expecting, of course, to get immense amount of attention for their newly published work. Because of this it more then likely will come off as mediocre and poorly handled, the writers will usually abandon the story.
Then there's chapters which are handled similar in essence, poor length and choppy grammar in an attempt to get it out to the public faster. I feel as though the things that keep fics from being mediocre is the amount of work, patience, and time one is willing to put into the story, especially in its early phases. Bad chapters and badfics often makes one look desperate for glory or attention and can reflect bad on the community and/or author. I think if we all gave a little more time and patience toward making our fics. a little better and focused less on timing we could get more activity as a whole in the section and more recognition. Again, this isn't a call-out toward anyone, just my two-cent.
Length in particular is something I've noticed that people put emphasis on when describing a fic, I've seen some describe my stories' chapters as being "intimidating" naturally because of the length, but they usually don't complain too hard about the length after reading the story and finding out it isn't half bad despite the length of the chapter. Being completely honest and saying my utter and own opinion from experience of reading various fics. on other sites and here on Serebii, if a fic. is chaptered, a.k.a not a drabble, and each chapter is in the neighborhood of 500-1,500 words it's most likely a piece of a crap that was rushed. Keep in mind length doesn't completely dictate whether a fic is bad or not, this is in addition to several other problems I listed. I'm just saying that fics of this length usually contain the aforementioned problems. People seem to usually complain about fics being too long but most of the longer fics I'm encountered are the exact opposite and manage to be very compelling and usually only elicits whining for the first few chapters or so and are stuck to and better stories overall.
Another thing to note is "filler" chapters. Chapters in which no progress is really made in the grand scheme of things for the story. Chapters where nothing is really gained are pretty pointless for fanfics imo. It usually comes off as a stall for the authors and screams being unprepared imo.
So what do you think? Are my conspiracy theories a load of crap? Does a badfic turn you off? Thoughts? What do you think a badfic is?

Less than 48 hours hours ago, after much griping, it appeared that Nick Diaz would indeed receive his rematch with Carlos Condit. Now it's unclear when, or if, Diaz will ever fight in the UFC again.
The polarizing Stockonian tested positive for "marijuana metabolites" in the aftermath of UFC 143, according to Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer. Given that this is Diaz's second offense, a lengthy suspension is likely forthcoming.
It seems strangely fitting that after five days of fervent debate, the positive test puts the Condit-Diaz controversy to bed in the most Diaz-like way imaginable. As the UFC and Condit were busy plotting their next move, a slew of Diaz's colleagues sounded off on the announcement.
Nick Diaz was the aggressor of the fight while he was high as a kite is a testament to how good he really is and how much pot he can smoke.

Was Microsoft Smart to Play It Safe with CEO Pick?
Tuesday's hiring of Satya Nadella as Microsoft's CEO is a safe move that's likely to be greeted with sighs of relief around the company's headquarters, industry analysts say.
Tuesday's hiring of Satya Nadella as Microsoft's CEO is a safe move that's likely to be greeted with sighs of relief around the company's headquarters, industry analysts say.
Microsoft names Satya Nadella as its next CEO, ending a longer-than-expected search for a new leader after Steve Ballmer announced his intention to retire in August.
As Microsoft prepares to unveil its new CEO, investors are weighing how effective the 22-year veteran will be in re-igniting the company's mobile ambitions.
At TechCrunch Disrupt Tuesday, industry luminaries spoke of virtual currencies and better products, and those themes carried through among the startups on the show floor.
A new report finds that revelations about the NSA's PRISM spying program have shaken faith in U.S. cloud computing companies, potentially costing billions in lost revenue.
Computer giant IBM reportedly has begun the process of laying off employees in the U.S. as part of a worldwide restructuring plan estimated to cost about $1 billion.
Amazon has reportedly won a $600 million dollar, 10-year contract to supply cloud computing services to the CIA. The online retailer will help the spy agency build a private cloud infrastructure to keep up with emerging technologies.
Are architects, engineers and animators in trouble? It's worth asking because Autodesk -- the longtime provider of 3D design, engineering, and architecture software -- posted disappointing quarterly results on Thursday afternoon.
Adobe is No. 1 when it comes to arming publishers with the tools to stand out in cyberspace. Adobe Flash, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader are everywhere. But there are big clouds on the horizon for the software company -- and one is the Cloud itself.
What terrifies a man as smart and successful as Bill Gates? What's the real reason for his early retirement? These two words.
On Monday, Apple unveiled iCloud, which will allow users to store digital files on remote servers, and access them through smartphones, PCs or tablets. This should give a boost to iTunes, but that accounts for only about 2% of Apple's value. The real gain will be in how iCloud adds to the appeal of Apple's more lucrative devices.
Steve Jobs received a standing ovation at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference Monday as the company unveiled its iCloud hosted computing service. But despite Jobs' anticipated participation, investors should not expect a huge upswing in the company's stock, one expert says.
Microsoft used to be the most valuable tech company in the U.S. based on market capitalization. Apple took that crown away last year. Now, IBM has dropped the Redmond, Wash., giant into third place. So what's IBM doing right, and what's Microsoft doing wrong?
A broad array of technology news helped define 2010, from the launch of Apple's iPad to the arrival of the app to a supernova of Internet stock gains. Here's a look back at those major stories -- and a glimpse of some highlights you can expect next year.
Motorola snapped up virtual media storage maker Zecter, moving to bolster its Motoblur service and drive growth ahead of its split next month into Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions.
Under the agreement, Dell will pay Compellent investors $27.75 a share in cash. Problem is those investors had bid up the stock to above $34 in anticipation of a much a better offer. If they ultimately reject Dell's deal, it'll be another black eye for the computing giant.
Last week, on-demand-software giant Salesforce.com acquired a cloud software startup called Heroku for $212 million in cash. That's par for the course these days as cloud computing goes from buzzword to reality. And venture capitalists are flocking to put money into the next Heroku.
As it looks for ways to grow, Salesforce.com is targeting another big market: databases. Its new offering,Database.com, looks to be a direct threat to Oracle. Maybe its time for Oracle to finally get serious about cloud computing.
Cloud computing is the new hot trend, but anyone business that has tried to move itself into the cloud has generally been in for a shock. Yes, the cloud may be cheaper than owning servers, but it has its own painful issues. Enter startup Standing Cloud, which wants to make the jump to the cloud into a cake walk.
Apple iTunes Mystery To Bring Music To Investors Ears? Analyst Says No
Dell Acquires Cloud-Computing Company Boomi
International Business Machines on Monday said its new Federal Community Cloud will provide cloud-computing services to the U.S. government.
Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's chief software architect, was the perfect visionary foil to strategy-obsessed CEO Steve Ballmer. His entrepreneurial thinking pushed the stodgy software giant into cloud computing and SaaS, and got it back into the mobile OS race. Can anyone fill his soon-to-be-vacated shoes?
Cloud-computing stocks got hammered Wednesday when hosting services provider Equinix lowered its guidance. While the dips may be stomach churning, look at them as opportunities to invest in a field that is likely to grow for the long haul.
Sharp Corp. will sell two tablet-type computer devices in Japan by the end of the year as the company looks to expand usage of its Galapagos cloud-based media service.
Although Oracle CEO Larry Ellison was a skeptic only a year ago, he has been talking up cloud computing at the company's annual conference this week.
IBM, Oracle, Hewlett Packard and Intel have been on a buying spree of late, and it's virtually guaranteed that they'll be purchasing more companies over the next several months. But which companies will they target next? Here are eight strong possibilities you might want to buy into.
Technology company Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) will purchase utility storage company 3Par Inc (PAR) for $2.35 billion or $33 a share. The agreement between the two companies ends 3Par%u2019s merger agreement with chip-maker Dell Inc. (DELL), with 3Par agreeing to pay Dell $72 million as a termination fee.
The bidding war for 3Par, which specializes in utility storage, now values the company at three times what it was worth before the offers started coming. What is it about 3Par that's so promising? It's all about the "cloud."

IBM gaining Linux customers at Sun's expense
Despite all the hype associated with a never-ending Linux versus Windows battle, it's Unix, and specifically Sun Solaris that has felt the most pressure in the server operating system landscape.
While I doubt that Solaris will completely languish long-term under Oracle's watchful eye (in fact, it may well flourish), there is little question that Sun's ups and downs in the recent past have made customers look to alternatives.
At a recent IBM analyst meeting, Inna Kuznetsova, director, Linux strategy, told attendees that the Linux business is strong and growing.

Jews did not come to Opelousas as itinerant peddlers, but rather as industrious settlers who sought to fill unmet needs for the city's citizens. In 1852, David Roos arrived in Opelousas with his wife from Paris and quickly became one of the most successful farmers and merchandisers in Southwestern Louisiana. After having served in the Third Louisiana Calvary Regiment during the Civil War, he opened his own merchandise store that sold furniture and home decorations. The years before the Civil War witnessed the influx of other Jews who started their own businesses, many of which advertised in the Opelousas Courier. Two businessmen named Schwartz and Kaufman formed a partnership in 1854 "for the sale of dry goods, ready made clothing, hardware, etc." for farmers and plantation owners. S. Block opened a general store on Main Street in 1858 with "a large stock of groceries, cookery, tin and hardware." Joseph Haas, a tailor who immigrated to Opelousas from Alsace with his brother Samuel around 1860, proclaimed in his ad that he "feels confident that he can satisfy all tastes in cutting and making." Alphonse Levy, another Alsatian, started a mercantile business that he later left to establish the Southwest Louisiana Land Company, which funded the development of many new towns along the Southern Pacific Railroad. Solomon Loeb, a German immigrant who originally settled in Woodville, Mississippi, fought under both Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. He arrived in Opelousas in 1867 and opened a retail grocery store. By 1870, though Jews had been in Opelousas for less than twenty years, they were already a significant part of the local economy and had begun to establish Jewish institutions.
In 1865, Jews in Opelousas purchased a cemetery; twelve years later they organized a congregation called Gemiluth Chassodim ("Acts of Loving Kindness"). In the congregation's early years, services were held in the Humble Cottage Masonic Lodge Hall. This venue was not unusual since many Jews in Opelousas were active members of the local lodges of Masons and Woodmen of the World. Student rabbis from Hebrew Union College officiated at High Holiday services and other special occasions. Increasing the membership of the congregation proved to be a serious challenge. By 1907, only ten families belonged to Gemiluth Chassodim, though between fifty and seventy five Jews lived within a five-mile radius of Opelousas.
Perhaps due to its small membership, Gemiluth Chassodim eventually became defunct. A new congregation, Temple Emanuel, was soon founded and absorbed Gemilluth Chassodim in 1929. This new congregation had sixty-five members and erected a large brick synagogue in downtown Opelousas in 1930. Lay leaders held services every Friday for the next decade while student rabbis continued to lead High Holidays services. One such student rabbi, Milton Grafman from Hebrew Union College, came to Opelousas for the High Holidays in 1931 and would later become the longtime rabbi at Temple Emanuel in Birmingham, Alabama. Congregation leaders founded a Shabbat education program for children, yet it met sporadically and was small. In 1935, only eight children were in the religious school. Their student rabbi that year commented that "the congregation, though not religious, is quite Jewish."
Over time, members attended services less frequently and the older, more devoted congregants, those who arrived with the first wave of Jewish immigration to Opelousas, began to die. Membership remained constant nonetheless, mainly due to the increasing amount of children in the congregation. Surprisingly, these Jewish youths remained in Opelousas rather than moving to the big city for other opportunities. Yet despite their noble dedication to their hometown, this new generation's dedication to the Jewish community proved to be weaker than that of their parents. Attendance at services abated precipitously, and by 1942, the congregation no longer held services and disbanded altogether.
Although religious life for Jews in Opelousas declined in the mid-twentieth century, Jewish businesses continued to thrive. Nearly every industry benefited from the hard work of Jews. Russian immigrant A. J. Winsberg arrived in Opelousas and opened his family-owned store Winsbergs at the center of town around the turn of the century. By 1947, the store had become an institution and assumed the reputation as "South Louisiana's Greatest Store for Women." David Roos' furniture store, now one of the oldest establishments in town, continued to prosper into the twentieth century. His son, Isaac Roos, inherited some of his father's business acumen and started a very successful wholesale liquor store. The Bourdier Family, which had been one of the last remaining families at Temple Emanuel before its hiatus, helped run the Opelousas Clarion-News. Doctors were few and far between, however Frederick and Rudolph Meyer arrived in Opelousas soon after the turn of the century and established themselves as reliable physicians.
After the end of the Second World War, oil production became a major industry in the region. Some Opelousas Jews found oil on their property and obtained great wealth. Several others participated in the production process itself. Irwin Davlin, for example, invented several new valves and soon thereafter became president of Standard Fittings Company, which produced pipe fittings for petroleum manufacturers. As the oil industry grew into the 1960s and 1970s, nearby Lafayette became one of the leading cities in the nation in oil extraction, and, in turn, many Jews began commuting there to seize opportunities that were not available in Opelousas.
In 1957, sociologist Ben Kaplan published The Eternal Stranger, an analysis of Jewish life in the Louisiana towns of Clinton, New Iberia, and Opelousas. Writing about Opelousas, Kaplan concluded that while Jews in Opelousas did create uniquely Jewish institutions, they participated so widely in the life of the general community that "step by step they lost contact with the larger Jewish community." On one hand, his conclusions were well founded; even upon their arrival in Opelousas, many Jews held high positions in town government and other local organizations. Joseph Block, an early settler in Opelousas who arrived in 1860, served as President of St. Landry Parish School Board while a leader of the Masonic Lodge and a member of the American Legion of Honor. Numerous others, including Morris Hirsch, President of St. Landry Bank and Trust Company, and Ben Jacobs, newspaper publisher and bookshop owner, served as town aldermen and members of the Board of Chamber of Commerce. In 1935, the congregation's student rabbi reported that there had "never been any manifestation of anti-Semitism" and that Opelousas Jews "engage whole-heartedly in the life of the community." Twenty years later, Dr. Kaplan counted only thirty six Jews in Opelousas in 1957, most of whom had not been active in Jewish life. Kaplan also found a high degree of intermarriage.
Kaplan's pessimism failed to predict the resurgence of the Jewish community in the late 1950s. In September 1955, Temple Emanuel reopened its doors after twenty years of inactivity. Approximately eighteen families joined the congregation and the Temple Emanuel Sisterhood assembled to schedule events for the Jewish community. As "the lifeblood of Jewish ideals in [the] community," the sisterhood revitalized Jewish life in Opelousas and the surrounding area. Members conducted services on Friday evening, held parties at their homes on holidays, and encouraged the participation of the congregation's youth. Lay leaders officiated High Holiday services and delivered pre-written sermons provided by Hebrew Union College. In the 1960s, the Temple started a tradition of holding a community-wide Passover Seder and the sisterhood hosted member-run programs on Judaism. Yet one institution neither the congregation leadership nor the sisterhood instituted successfully was a Sunday school. While several children received their b'nei mitzvah in Temple Emanuel, those parents who wanted a more thorough Jewish education for their children drove to Temple Shalom in Lafayette for Sunday school.
In recent years, the Jewish community has all but disappeared in Opelousas. Dr. Gerald Posner, a former obstetrician/gynecologist, anesthesiologist, and regional mohel, was head of one of the three or four Jewish families that still reside in the area. Gerald and his wife Isabel raised four children in Opelousas, all of whom have moved away to larger cities. The Posners joined Temple Shalom in Lafayette, a larger congregation serviced by a student rabbi from Hebrew Union College and with regular services, a religious school, and a b'nei mitzvah and confirmation program. The construction of Interstate 49 in the 1980s has since facilitated easier transportation between Opelousas and Lafayette, making the former a satellite community of the latter. The remaining Jews of Opelousas still own the Temple Emanuel building and on one or two Friday nights per year, Temple Shalom in Lafayette holds services at the Opelousas synagogue. They also fund periodic maintenance of the original Gemilluth Chassodim Cemetery on Bellevue Street as well as Hebrew Rest Cemetery just north of town in Washington.
Several years from now, few if any Jews will live in Opelousas. The booming oil economy has brought this small city into a sphere centered in Lafayette, a larger city with a larger Jewish community.
