Don't Want To Be Your Romeo Because You're No Goddamn Juliet
As the dreams become more cryptic
and distant
Your face fades from memory
As the conflict becomes a silent
The scars darken and turn to grey
January has come and gone, A bitter
monument in my mind
Of all the sunrises I have drawn, None
compares to the one I'm reminded of
I've laid in the dark praying for dawn, Is
it forever night or am I just blind
July has come and gone, And still you
aren't by my side
We haven't spoken in two years
I think I chased you off for the last
Does my memory still bring you to
Or is my absence just too sublime
I find myself staring at the traces of
your hate
Outlines of my failures to make you
I find myself daring to look at your
Every word weakens my knees and I
start to sway
Why can't I forget you, There must be
a way

Wash. makes swift changes to definition of pot
Washington finalized swift changes to the state's definition of marijuana Wednesday after prosecutors and crime lab scientists expressed concern about the technical aspects of a voter-approved legalization initiative.
Associated Press
Washington finalized swift changes to the state's definition of marijuana Wednesday after prosecutors and crime lab scientists expressed concern about the technical aspects of a voter-approved legalization initiative.
Gov. Jay Inslee approved the revision, which was also supported by the Seattle lawyer who drafted the initiative that legalized recreational marijuana last year. The bill was first submitted in the Legislature just a week ago, and lawmakers in both chambers quickly moved it to the governor's desk.
"It was important to get this done in a timely fashion," Inslee said.
The problem centered around a portion of the initiative that was written to distinguish marijuana from industrial hemp, which is grown for its fiber. The measure defined marijuana as having more than 0.3 percent of a certain intoxicating compound, called delta-9 THC.
Scientists with the state crime lab say that often, even potent marijuana can have less than 0.3 percent of delta-9 THC. It's only when heated or burned that a different compound, THC acid, turns into delta-9 THC and the pot achieves its full potency.
Instead of accounting for just one intoxicating compound, the new measure accounts for both components, defining marijuana as having more than 0.3 percent of the two added together.
The change will help prosecutors to prove that plants or material meet the definition of marijuana when authorities uncover illicit grow operations or people carrying more than an ounce of marijuana - the amount adults are allowed to have under the law. The King County prosecutor's office had delayed filing charges in several cases until the law is fixed.
The technical fix was among more than two dozen bills Inslee signed Wednesday.
One of the bills removes the spousal exemption from third-degree rape - in which no physical force is used - and from taking indecent liberties. Until the 1970s, most states considered marriage to preclude any form of rape. Washington removed the marital exemption for first- and second-degree rape in 1983.
Another bill approved by Inslee seeks to crack down on the underage purchase of alcohol. It will require self-checkout machines at supermarkets to freeze transactions involving liquor sales until a worker verifies the buyer is at least 21 years old.

Recent Venice reviews
"We were two couples and stayed in this lovely home for three months. The house is large enough to afford privacy yet comfortably laid out for social evenings together. The neighborhood is charming; the grocery store is within easy walking distance, as are many shops and restaurants on Venice's main avenue. The beach can also be reached via a short walk and was never over-crowded, even during high season. If you enjoy entertainment, there are concerts in the park every few days, a farmer's market on Saturdays and many other fairs and festivals throughout the winter season. If you like nature, Venice is close to state parks and even has its own rookery as well as several botanical gardens. Béat was a gracious and accommodating host, never intrusive but always available."Guest: Jim and Rickie Date of Stay: December 2013 Review Submitted: April 17, 2014View listing
"This was a true home from home with everything in the house one could ask for. We were there for our 25th wedding anniversry and liked the fact it was an 8 minute cycle ride to the beach at sharkys and 4 minutes to down town. Totally chilled out. Beautiful house, swimming pool was great and would definitely go back."Guest: Kate Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: August 7, 2014View listing
"I recently moved to Venice and stayed in this cute condo while I was searching for homes. It is in a great location with an easy walk to the beach. I was able to watch the sunsets every night which was great. Downtown Venice is about a mile away which I walked to a few times which was also very nice. The owner was very nice and accommodating, everything that I needed was in the unit and it was clean and comfy. It was only myself so the size of the condo was not an issue, but it is a small unit but that worked great for me. I highly recommend."Guest: Lisa Date of Stay: May 2014 Review Submitted: June 2, 2014View listing
"The property is great and the owner very cooperative. The house is well equipped and well maintained. The neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic. The area is great for walking and bike riding. I would strongly recommend this property for any family. Our only regret this year was the cold temps in Florida this year."Guest: Joy H.

Getty buys image copyright monitor PicScout for $20M (Video)

Getty Images has acquired PicScout, a leader in protecting the copyright of images on websites.
Getty is one of Israeli-based PicScout's main clients. Several websites in Israel listed the sales price at $20 million.
Getty Images said it will invest in PicScout's technology to improve and expand the protection of intellectual property. Getty said it would maintain the PicScout brand.
PicScout's applications based on the ImageIRC platform include ImageTracker and ImageExchange. Its ImageTracer monitors the use of images on the web for copyright protection.
With the rapid growth of social media and websites, it has become increasingly difficult for photographers and companies to protect the use of their images. In one example on PicScout's blog, a photographer said his self-portraits were taken from his Flickr account and used in more than 40 countries.
PicScout recently released new versions of ImageExchange for Safari and Chrome browsers
In a blog post, PicScout co-founder Offir Gutelzon said the company's R&D and operations teams will remain in Israel.
PicScout will remain as a brand, continuing to support a myriad of applications based on the ImageIRC platform, including ImageTracker and ImageExchang. The acquisition by Getty serves as an opportunity for PicScout to further expand and accelerate its offerings as it delivers against the promise of Every Image Gets Its Credit.
Over the past 15 years, Getty has made a number of acquisitions that have allowed the Seattle company to become one of the world's largest purveyors of digital images.
In April 2010, Getty acquired celebrity photo site Rex Features. In October 2008, Getty purchased Jupiter Images' online images unit for $96 million.
In July 2008, Getty was taken private in a $2.4 billion buyout by private equity firm Hellman & Friedman.

MRTI: Cooper Tires Winterfest Update; Garcia signs with SPM
Feb 24, 2014, 12:08 PM EST
There was racing other than NASCAR in Daytona this weekend, hard as that is to believe.
The North American open-wheel season got underway with the Cooper Tires Winterfest at NOLA Motorsports Park in New Orleans on Friday and Saturday, featuring all three rungs of the Mazda Road to Indy ladder: the Indy Lights, Pro Mazda and USF2000 series.
In the five combined Pro Mazda and USF2000 races, five drivers from five different teams won. It's a far cry from the last two Winterfests, where only the USF2000 series ran and the races were dominated by drivers from the Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing teams.
Spencer Pigot (Juncos Racing, Friday) and Garett Grist (Andretti Autosport, Saturday) captured the first two Pro Mazda race wins. Pigot leads the points standings by 10 over Grist, heading to the second set of two days at Barber Motorsports Park on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The USF2000 series saw three different winners in as many races, which is two more teams than had won the Winterfest the last two years.
Victor Franzoni (Afterburner Autosport, Friday) and RC Enerson (Team E, Saturday) and Clark Toppe (JDC Motorsports, Saturday) took the three USF2000 race wins. Enerson leads Cape's Jake Eidson by six, 70-64, heading to Barber.
Cape swept each of the last two six-race Winterfests in 2012 and 2013, both times with one driver taking five of six races. Pigot (2012) and Neil Alberico (2013) were those two, although the eventual USF2000 regular season champions, Matty Brabham (2012) and Scott Hargrove (2013) took the sixth.
In the two days of Indy Lights testing at NOLA, 2013 runner-up Gabby Chaves (Belardi Auto Racing) led Andretti Autosport's Brabham. Luiz Razia was third for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports. They head to Barber as well ahead of tomorrow.
Additionally on the Indy Lights front, and the SPM front, the team has signed veteran Juan Pablo Garcia as its second confirmed driver, besides Englishman Jack Harvey.
The Mexican has made 30 series starts since 2009, with only three career top-five finishes (fourth at St. Petersburg, fifth at Milwaukee and Toronto all in 2013). He made strides in 2013, only his second full season in the championship.
A switch to the front-line Schmidt equipment should provide the 25-year-old Garcia his best chance at improving those statistics, and continuity. He's competed with Team Moore Racing, Belardi Auto Racing, Jeffrey Mark Motorsport, Jensen Motorsport, HVM Racing, and Michael Crawford Motorsports in his Indy Lights career.
"It's a very prestigious team in the Indy Lights series, and they have always demonstrated that all their cars are always vying for podiums, victories and leading races, and every year they win a championship," Garcia said in a release. "They have good drivers, a good team of engineering and crew and, of course, great cars. It's really hard to achieve that every single year."
Besides the two confirmed, Razia and Juan Piedrahita have tested for SPM this winter, and are likely to be nominated to official race seats soon.

Cook County Land Bank is Racing Ahead
Housing, finance, real estate, policy, and economic development groups are buzzing about the passage of the Cook County Land Bank ordinance that effectually creates a countywide land bank. Whenever new strategies and policies initiate, valid questions arise, such as how will this benefit my neighborhood, what are the unique advantages of this approach, and what obstacles might we expect? To address many of these questions, the Metropolitan Planning Council and Urban Land Institute Chicago (ULI Chicago) co-hosted a roundtable on Thursday, Feb. 7, featuring Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle, Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer, Teska Principal Scott Goldstein, and Thriving Communities Institute Director Jim Rokakis (watch the webcast here). The panel discussed the vision for the Cook County Land Bank Authority and fielded more than a dozen thoughtful questions from an engaged audience of more than 200 people, whose interest demonstrated how important this issue is for area residents, community leaders and the private sector.
Pres. Preckwinkle opened with a strong justification for why a countywide land bank is necessary to get properties back on our tax rolls and improve our communities. Hot off the presses, Pres. Preckwinkle announced that the Cook County Land Bank Board of Directors was officially welcomed to start leading the initiative and would be approved on Friday, Feb. 8. The Board will be deeply involved during the search for an Executive Director and as the land bank's policies and procedures are developed. Preckwinkle and her fellow panelists stressed that the most important task at this time is hiring top-notch staff to lead this initiative. Read a wrap-up of the event on Pres. Preckwinkle's blog.
Scott Goldstein – who has extensive experience in neighborhood, downtown and retail planning and represented the development community – expressed his appreciation for how engaged the private sector has been in planning the land bank. As chair of ULI Chicago's Public Policy Committee, Goldstein oversaw a two-day Technical Assistance Panel that obtained input from more than 100 experts on how to structure and create a Cook County Land Bank. Scott stressed that developers need predictability— something the land bank can deliver by stabilizing the market so that the private sector can succeed at acquiring and redeveloping blighted, vacant land.
Jim Rokakis, from Cuyahoga County, Ohio, serves as director of the Thriving Communities Institute as well as vice president of Western Reserve Land Conservancy. He is a national expert on distressed properties, foreclosure mitigation, and land banking. Rokakis described the Cuyahoga Land Bank, a model that the Cook County Land Bank is modeled after, and discussed how Cuyahoga's land bank is not only focused on residential rehabilitation but also creative reuses of space, for example expanded side yards, green space, stormwater management, and more. According to Rokakis, a land bank's greatest power is its ability to clear toxic titles and tax delinquencies. Given his experience, Rokakis stressed that the biggest challenge facing land banks is financing operations and demolitions; in fact, he likened the lack of funding for demolitions to having a car with no gas. That's why the Thriving Communities Institute has been advocating for legislation to create Qualified Urban Demolition Bonds, which would provide states and land banks with 30-year tax credit bonds to finance strategic demolitions and stymie future waves of blight. MPC and other advocates will continue to support these legislative efforts that will give land banks the support they need to reach economies of scale.
Last but not least, Commissioner Bridget Gainer revealed the next steps for the Cook County Land Bank. Comm. Gainer, who has taken strong leadership to streamline the foreclosure process and create the land bank, has been named to the Cook County Land Bank Board of Directors. Comm. Gainer talked passionately about the families directly and indirectly affected by the foreclosure crisis—those left without homes, as well as those left behind, on half-empty blocks with declining home values and escalating crime. While Comm. Gainer worked to pass the Vacant Buildings Ordinance, she stressed that the County's creation of a land bank stemmed from the acknowledgement that a more proactive, development-oriented solution was needed to remove obstacles like demolition, delinquent taxes, cloudy title, and other administrative burdens. She said the land bank fits this bill, as it combines Pres. Preckwinkle's focus on community development with a redevelopment strategy. Comm. Gainer also stressed that the County needed to act quickly, rather than waiting for Springfield to pass legislation enabling a land bank. She wrapped up by highlighting the Cook County Land Bank's strengths:
- A clarity of purpose—its sole mission is to address vacancy, abandonment and redevelopment;
- An independent, highly experienced Board of Directors;
- A focus on being market-driven and the capacity to leverage the private sector;
- The ability to apply for and receive funding from private, foundation and government sources with the end goal of becoming self-sustaining.
Moving forward, MPC is eager to see this initiative take life and will continue to advise on how to align the land bank with the private sector. MPC is working a variety of issues to address the changing housing market, including encouraging multi-town collaboration and helping investors and communities plan for the foreclosure crisis' effect on the growing number of single-family rental homes.

The Spiel About The Default Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop
Published on 07 April 2011 10:45 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
12 Comments
Earlier today Phoronix was the first publication to widely report that
Ubuntu 11.04 may default to the GNOME classic desktop
rather than the Unity desktop that Canonical has been developing viciously over the past few months. There's just too many bugs outstanding and issues with Unity, but here's the whole spiel about what their evaluation is coming down to in deciding whether to stick with Unity by default or instead use the classic GNOME desktop until presumably Ubuntu 11.10.
A more elaborate email from Canonical's Rick Spencer has now hit the
Ubuntu development mailing list
that further analyzes the situation and discussion that came out of the Ubuntu Technical Board meeting.
The arguments for defaulting to classic GNOME in Ubuntu 11.04 come down to key feature regressions (such as no system tray support for many key applications), usability problems, and too many bugs on some hardware and just the final product being too buggy. Some of the cited usability problems are the settings are hard to find, the categorized view of applications, and the Unity search sometimes yielding bogus search results.
Though Canonical is pressing hard to keep Unity the default in Ubuntu 11.04. "Given the current course of development, it appears that we are going to achieve this goal, and Unity will stay the default for 11.04."
Additionally, "Representing the desktop team, Jason Warner believes that Unity will deliver the superior experience for most users in 11.04. I agree with this position and support staying the course."
But you can now hash it out on the Ubuntu development list if you would like to see the classic desktop used. Worth noting is that if this change happens it would be effectively to a GNOME 2.32 experience and not the GNOME 3.0 Shell, but both will be available regardless from the package repository.

Indian cricket's latest sensation, Shikhar Dhawan, is set to miss the fourth and final Test against Australia, starting in his hometown Delhi from March 22, due to a hand injury. Dhawan didn't take to the field on the final day and also could not open in India's second innings. Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that Dhawan "may not" play in the final Test due to the injury he sustained on his left hand while fielding on the fourth day yesterday. "Shikhar may not play in the final Test. You will soon get to know the official confirmation," Dhoni told reporters at the post-match press conference on Monday. Dhawan bludgeoned his way into the record books with an unbeaten 168-ball 185, the fastest-ever Test century by a debutant, in India's first innings, which paved the way for the hosts' six-wicket win over Australia and an unassailable 3-0 lead in series. Dhawan reached the three-figure mark off a mere 85 balls, surpassing the previous record held by West Indian Dwayne Smith. In the post-match presentation ceremony, Dhawan said, "I fell on my knuckles when I dived." Dhawan was Sunday night seen outside the Fortis Hospital in Chandigarh with two bandages. A precautionary x-ray was performed on the 27-year-old batsman that revealed no fracture, but sources claimed doctors had advised the swashbuckling opener not to bat in the second innings.

Confraternity of Catholic Clergy Respond to Papal Resignation
Catholic PRWire
SAN DIEGO, CA (February 13, 2013) - The more than 500 priests and deacons of the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy express our profound respect, admiration and filial love for our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI as with great sadness we learn of his abdication from the Chair of Saint Peter at the end of this month. Father John Trigilio, President of the Confraternity, said: �Pope Benedict has been a bridge of continuity after the long and wonderful papacy of Pope John Paul the Great. He has also been a beacon of hope for orthodoxy of thought and for reverence in divine worship. We clergy are particularly grateful for his paternal love, example and piety as pope, bishop and priest. Viva il Papa�
A national association of priests and deacons dedicated to promoting ongoing spiritual, theological and pastoral formation in a fraternal setting, the CCC in the United States has fellow Confraternities of Catholic Clergy in Australia and in Great Britain. There was an international gathering of all three in Rome in 2010 where priests and deacons of this association attended the papal Mass on the Feast of the Epiphany. A convocation is planned every five years in Rome with the next one taking place in 2015.
Mr. Thomas J. McKenna, Executive Director of the CCC, expressed his thoughts on the Pope�s resignation. �We are all painfully aware of His Holiness� declining health and while his resignation saddens us, his decision to surrender the keys of St. Peter for the good of Holy Mother Church is further witness of this great man�s wisdom and humility. As a true father, the Holy Father places the needs of his spiritual children first. That is why he feels his physical limitations prevent him from fully providing what his sons and daughters need.�
Fr. Trigilio is asking all the members of the CCC to offer special prayers of support for Pope Benedict as he prepares for his official relinquishment of papal authority on February 28th.

BWW Reviews: Irony, Humor and Holiday Culture Inspire Next Act's HERESY
