Even more Jagr Red Wings-Penguins news: NHL return certain, can't sign till July 1
by George Malik on 06/23/11 at 04:59 PM ET
Comments (24)
Updated 2x at 5:06 PM: Oh fun, per RedWingsFeed and MLive's Ansar Khan:
The agent for Jaromir Jagr said on Thursday that the forward is "99 percent'' sure to return to the NHL rather than sign with a Russian team but that he can't sign a contract until July 1, the start of free agency. Petr Svobda said Jagr still hasn't decided which NHL club to join after playing in Russia the past three seasons. The Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins are the only teams with confirmed interest. Another team or two might be in the mix.
"It is going to be the NHL,'' Svobda said. "Something (unexpected) would have to happen for him to go back to Russia. I'd say it's 99 percent certain he'll play in the NHL. He's got teams he'd rather go to because he's got a very good chance of winning. Detroit is one possibility. He likes their team concept.''
As noted in the mid-day post, the Penguins' press believes that there's a sense that Jagr's waiting for Mario Lemieux to step in and convince Ray Shero to sign Jagr, but, depending on who you believe, the Penguins are either going to match the Wings' reported $2.5 million offer or they're going to ask Jagr to take less—and TSN's Bob McKenzie has revealed that the "mystery team" is Montreal. Jagr's a pal of Tomas Plekanec's and he's always been intrigued by playing in La Belle Province, but the bottom line is that Jagr's making the Wings wait to see what the Penguins can offer him and whether they're really interested in bringing him back.
Update: Per ESPN's Pierre LeBrun:

Updated 4x with the media's take on "highlights" at 3:05 PM: Per DetroitRedWings.com's John Hahn, here's the Detroit Red Wings' release regarding their 2011-2012 regular season schedule:
The Red Wings announced their 2011-12 schedule that includes one of the most fan-friendly schedules for fans throughout Hockeytown to come see the Wings play at Joe Louis Arena as a total of 24 home games are slated for Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

The first collectable bobblehead will feature Pavel Datsyuk while the final Thursday game of the season, April 5 vs. New Jersey, will honor 7-time Norris Trophy winner Nicklas Lidstrom.
Highlights throughout the remainder of the season include the return of Red Wings legend Steve Yzerman when Detroit plays host to Tampa Bay on November 30, the Wings' traditional New Year's Eve game vs. the St. Louis Blues, a January visit by former Michigan State goaltender Ryan Miller and the Buffalo Sabres, and a matchup of two of the best Russian-born NHL products in March when Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals visit Pavel Datsuk and the Wings.
Here's the schedule:

Griffins shift player personnel decisions to Detroit as GM McNamara departs
by George Malik on 06/23/11 at 11:06 AM ET
Comments (4)
Updated at 1:27 PM with a 11-minute McNamara interview: As Paul's already posted, the Grand Rapids Griffins announced that long-time GM Bob McNamara is departing the team after 15 years with the organization, choosing to pursue "new opportunities" in hockey…
"It's been a great run over the last 15 years, beyond what I could have imagined when I came to Grand Rapids," said McNamara. "But as difficult as it is to leave this organization, it's time for me to look for a new challenge. Staying in one place for so long doesn't happen very often in our industry, and I've been very fortunate to work with outstanding players, coaches and front office staff and enjoy the incredible support of Griffins fans. Most of all, I'd like to thank [owners] Dan DeVos and David Van Andel for the opportunity they gave me, the trust they placed in me, and the friendship they showed me throughout the years," added McNamara.
But the end of the press release offers an intriguing shift in terms of who's going to make decisions about the Griffins' roster on a day-to-day basis:

Red Wings overnight report: Jagr fun continues and realignment talk
by George Malik on 06/23/11 at 07:57 AM ET
Comments (16)
Updated 2x at 8:17 AM: Sometimes it's better to start with the bluntly obvious and go from there:
Good news from Wednesday = Nicklas Lidstrom wins seventh Norris Trophy despite the fact that Jay Mohr cannot pronounce his name correctly; for some reason the NHL's chosen to reveal its schedule later today instead of mid-July, and the Chairman apparently has a sense of humor, because, as the Macomb Daily's
Bruce MacLeod
Chuck Pleiness notes, the Wings will play their home opener against Paul MacLean, his moustache, and the Ottawa Senators on October 7th.
Weird and/or bad news from yesterday and this morning, depending on your point of view, from the Toronto Sun's Lance Hornby:
As of Tuesday night, serious talks between the Penguins and the agent for Jaromir Jagr had not taken place, but Pittsburgh is believed to be his favoured NHL destination, with Detroit second.

All about Red wings Captain Nicklas Lidstrom's Norris Trophy win
by George Malik on 06/23/11 at 05:39 AM ET
Comments (9)
Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom's -2 plus-minus rating didn't prevent "Norris Nick" from winning his seventh Norris Trophy and making the NHL's First All-Star Team, but after all the talk from NHL writers suggesting that Lidstrom simply didn't dominate like Zdeno Chara or Shea Weber this past season, it was a bit of a surprise to see Lidstrom tie Doug Harvey as the second-most-decorated defenseman of all time—in the closest Norris Trophy voting from 1st to 3rd place ever!
As the 41-year-old told the Associated Press, winning the Norris never gets old, nor is it any less special, as time marches on:
"It feels surreal having reached seven Norrises, especially at this stage in my career," said Lidstrom. "I'm very proud to still be able to play at this level and win another Norris."
Lidstrom's seventh Norris tied Montreal star Doug Harvey, and he now only trails the legendary Bobby Orr's record of eight.
"It gives me some motivation to get ready for next season now having won another Norris," Lidstrom said. "I think it helps going through the off-season workouts."

Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom wins his seventh Norris Trophy
by George Malik on 06/22/11 at 08:17 PM ET
Comments (40)
I can't wait until we see the voting on this one…Nicklas Lidstrom just won his seventh Norris Trophy, and the Red Wings' captain now only trails Bobby Orr in Norris Trophies won.
Update Via Paul and NHL.com:
Red Wings' Lidstrom Wins Seventh Norris Trophy:
Nicklas Lidstrom of the Detroit Red Wings has won his seventh career James Norris Memorial Trophy, awarded to the defenseman demonstrating "the greatest all-around ability in the position," as selected by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association.
Lidstrom edged Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators 736-727 in the closest race for first place since 1996, when Chicago's Chris Chelios finished five points ahead of Boston's Ray Bourque, 408-403. With Lidstrom, Weber and third-place Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins receiving similar first-place vote totals (Lidstrom 35, Weber 32, Chara 33) and the trio separated by just 48 points, this marks the tightest three-way race for the Norris Trophy since its introduction in 1954.

Red Wings to open 11-12 season vs. Ottawa; yet another Jaromir Jagr update
by George Malik on 06/22/11 at 07:43 PM ET
Comments (4)
Via RedWingsFeed on Twitter: the NHL's schedule is usually released in early July, but between the NFL lockout and a looming NBA lockout, the NHL's apparently decided to jump the gun and release its regular-season schedule for the 2011-2012 season on Thursday. For the Red Wings ,the Detroit News's Ted Kulfan, the season will begin with a reunion of sorts:
The Red Wings will see a familiar face in the home opener of the 2011-12 regular season.
The Wings will host the Ottawa Senators on Friday, Oct. 7, at Joe Louis Arena. The Senators are now coached by Paul MacLean, who was Mike Babcock's assistant the last six seasons in Detroit. MacLean was named Senators' head coach earlier this month.
The Macomb Daily's Chuck Pleiness and Frfee Press's Helene St. James confirm, and while doing so, MLive's Ansar Khan provides a Jaromir Jagr update:

Mid-day Red WIngs news: Two Lidstrom stories, draft talk and tidbits
by George Malik on 06/22/11 at 04:10 PM ET
Comments (5)
Updated with the Wings' draft pick order: Of Red Wings-related note as we wait for the NHL Awards to get underway at 7 pm EDT (live on Versus, tape-delayed at 8 PM on the CBC, live-streamed on CBCSports.ca): Fox Sports Detroit's Art Regner believes that, should one compare Nicklas Lidstrom's status to that of Brian Rafalski, one may very well suggest that Lidstrom has entered "genetic freak" territory when it comes to staving off the aging process:
[Lidstrom] kept saying that it depended on whether he wanted to continue to train like a mad man during the offseason. OK, I added the mad man thing, but the point is that physically Nick is there. It just comes down to where hockey is in his life.
We may believe that all a professional athlete has to do is show up for a few hours, play their game and then go home. That is hardly the case. These athletes have to work their tails off year round or they will not be pro athletes for very long. In their 20s and early 30s—depending on their injury history—training is second nature. When you start to hit your late 30s, priorities shift—not to mention waistlines—and you start to ask yourself, "Do I really want to go through this rigmarole again?"

Comments (27)
Updated with Hawks talk (they're not interested) at 1:37 PM: And so the Jaromir Jagr to the Red Wings-or-Penguins drama continues, via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Rob Rossi...
Jaromir Jagr is expected to speak with Penguins owner Mario Lemieux and general manager Ray Shero at some point today, according to Jagr's agent, Petr Svoboda.
"That's what I am expecting to happen today," Svoboda said. "They are supposed to talk."
Nothing imminent is expected with Jagr's status. Svoboda confirmed that the Penguins and Detroit Red Wings remain the frontrunners for Jagr's services.
"But nothing is going to happen in the next couple of days," Svoboda said.

Keim: Working on Peterson's focus, intensityPosted by on October 13, 2014 – 8:13 am
In his weekly appearance on the "Doug and Wolf" show on Arizona Sports, General Manager Steve Keim noted that while he still has "100 percent faith" in the physical tools of cornerback Patrick Peterson, he still sees Peterson losing focus and/or intensity at times during a game. "I promise you, that's something (defensive coordinator) Todd Bowles and defensive backs coach Kevin Ross will clean up."
Peterson got beat by DeSean Jackson for a 64-yard slant-and-run touchdown Sunday, although it looked like Peterson should've had safety help from Tyrann Mathieu to at least make it a much shorter gain. It looked like Peterson was on Pierre Garcon on the Redskins' final TD pass to Garcon late in the game too. It's impossible to be perfect as a cornerback in today's NFL — every guy is going to give up scores — but Keim reiterated he thinks Peterson has just scratched the surface of his talent and can be much better.
"I know Pat is a competitor, I know he's a pro and I know he'll work at it," Keim said. "I also have a tremendous amount of faith and respect for our coaching staff. … No one in the league has (Peterson's) physical tools. Now it is up to Pat from a mental standpoint, and a focus and an intensity standpoint, to become the best. And that's on him. I think he's the kind of competitor, at 24 years of age, that he's going to grow and continue to get better. But there are times when he has plays you'd like to have back."
Keim also said Peterson isn't 100 percent healthy either, dealing with a sore ankle. Plus, as Keim acknowledged, the lack of a great edge pass rush by the Cardinals also can leave the secondary out to dry at times. That too does not help Peterson, who is often going against the most talented receiver on the other team.
"If you play 70 snaps and 65 of them are excellent and five you get exposed, you can't hide," Keim said. "But we have high expectations out of of Pat and so do the fans. We expect him to play at a high level and I think he'll get things cleaned up in the next few weeks."
– Keim was happy with the win, although he said after watching the video, the Cardinals "didn't play particularly well."
– He, like most, were thrilled with the play of Carson Palmer considering the circumstances. Keim said he could tell Palmer didn't have 100 percent velocity, but had a great pocket presence in his first game back.
– Keim was concerned with run defense coming into the game (he wasn't the only one) but but felt the Cards "stepped up to the challenge." The Redskins only had 72 rushing yards.
– He praised a few young players, linebacker Alex Okafor in particular, but also defensive lineman Ed Stinson and safety Deone Bucannon.

Keim: Campbell prognosis to come, no new QB yetPosted by on October 6, 2014 – 8:12 am
General Manager Steve Keim addressed the two biggest issues facing the Cardinals following Sunday's loss/injuryfest in Denver during his Monday morning appearance on the "Doug and Wolf" show on Arizona Sports. Obviously, both were injury-related.
Defensive end Calais Campbell is getting an MRI this morning, but Keim said the belief is Campbell has a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee. Keim said Campbell's prognosis is tough to predict because it can range quite a bit. But it felt like a little optimism. Keim didn't even close the door on Campbell playing against Washington Sunday (although that would be amazing) although multiple games sitting is definitely possible.
Also clear: Keim wasn't happy about the Julius Thomas low block that hurt Campbell, saying he's never seen a player go low on what was essentially going to be a chip block before Thomas ran a pass route. "Hopefully, we'll never see that again," Keim said.
– As for the quarterback situation, Drew Stanton will go through concussion protocol and Carson Palmer will continue with his shoulder treatment. Because in theory both could be ready for the Redskins, Keim said the Cardinals aren't going to add another quarterback. Not yet. That will be determined in the next 24 to 48 hours. Keim wouldn't divulge what quarterbacks the team would be looking at if they would sign one, although he said there are a lot of considerations that go into it and what they need plays into any decision. Keim noted any practice squad addition means keeping that player for three games on the 53-man roster, which might not make sense if Palmer and Stanton are on the verge of returning (and why Ryan Lindley, on San Diego's practice squad, might not make sense.) Keim also said it'll depend what the Cards might be looking for — a third-string guy? A backup? I don't think there is any question Logan Thomas is the starter if Palmer and Stanton aren't playing.
– Tight end Troy Niklas has a high ankle sprain. He too will get an MRI.
– Cornerback Patrick Peterson (ankle) will probably be day to day, but Keim didn't sound concerned.
– Keim's total of drops he counted for his receivers? Nine. More than I had. Obviously, not a good total. Keim definitely didn't sound pleased. "You can't play like that and expect to win," he said.
– He didn't sound pleased with the offensive line. Keim said they played "below average," and didn't play in unison.
– Keim on Logan Thomas' play: "He's got to learn to get the ball out quicker," Keim said, "but that will come in time."
– Keim was pleased with the play of draft picks Deone Bucannon and Kareem Martin. Martin improvement would be important if Campbell is sidelined.
– The injuries don't feel good for a GM either. "It's tough," Keim said. "But again, no one else in the league is going to feel sorry for us."

Keim: Happy, but still searching for an edge rusherPosted by on September 22, 2014 – 8:12 am
General Manager Steve Keim is happy the Cardinals knocked off the 49ers, but he is a GM and it is only three games into the season, so he said Monday on his weekly appearance on the "Doug and Wolf" show on Arizona Sports that he is continuing to try and upgrade the outside linebacker position and a guy who can pressure the passer from the edge,
"We will look at trade options but why would teams want to trade guys who can rush the passer?" Keim asked rhetorically.
The answer is they would not, not when every team in the league is looking for the same thing. It's not like basketball where you might have a glut of point guards and dealing one doesn't matter. You can't have too many pass rushers, and let's face it, those that can make a difference are few and far between anyway.
That said, being 3-0 is a good thing for Keim. Some of his other thoughts:
– He noticed that all 23 points yesterday were scored by a pair of rookies (kicker Chandler Catanzaro, now 9-for-9 on field goals, and wide receiver John Brown.)
– On Brown, "he is everything as advertised, that's for sure," Keim said. The speed shows up again and again.
– Keim praised left tackle Jared Veldheer as being exceptional and then said the offensive line as a whole was very good. They only allowed pressure on blitzes and held up fine against four- and five-man rushes. As an aside, I've had people ask if Jonathan Cooper moves back to starting left guard now that there is a bye week to make a transition. Ted Larsen did have a couple of penalties Sunday, but no, I don't see a change coming. You are 3-0 and the line played well. Why change?
– Right tackle Bobby Massie was "excellent," Keim said.
– Keim said the whole reason the Cardinals signed Drew Stanton was to potentially be the starting QB (he arrived weeks before Carson Palmer did) so the Cards have a level of expectation for him to play well in this role. Half-jokingly, Keim was asked about a potential QB controversy. Keim answered seriously. "It's great to have two that can play," he said. "I don't think about those things. I just want to get these guys healthy on the bye week."

Keim: Still waiting on Abraham decision UPDATEDPosted by on September 15, 2014 – 8:08 am
The Cardinals do not yet know if linebacker John Abraham will retire or not. General Manager Steve Keim, Monday on his weekly appearance on the "Doug and Wolf" show, said the team is still giving the veteran his space and that the team expects Abraham's decision "in the next 24 hours." Certainly there remains a chance Abraham could end up playing against the 49ers. "That's a tough question," Keim said. We know Bruce Arians (half-)joked yesterday he was hoping someone — someone being Abraham — came out of retirement to help the pass rush. The funny thing is, if Abraham does return, there is no guarantee he'll produce. But the Cardinals want to be able to find out.
UPDATE: Bruce Arians said Abraham is indeed returning to the team.
– The right shoulder nerve injury with quarterback Carson Palmer leaves him day to day, Keim said. "The timeline is a little bit of an unknown," Keim said. The injury should only get better, Keim added, but now, it's day to day. It's still possible Drew Stanton gets the 49ers start this coming Sunday.
– Keim said he thought S Tyrann Mathieu did fine in his season debut. Mathieu only played five snaps, recording a tackle. Keim said the package that includes Mathieu will increase each week.
– Keim was happy with the rescue job of backup quarterback Drew Stanton, noting that Stanton was one of the first players he signed when he became GM and could have been the starter if the Palmer trade had not happened. Still, you get the sense Keim would prefer, not surprisingly, for Palmer to be able to return sooner rather than later. At least Stanton got off to a positive start. "I'm sure some of those guys on defense didn't even know who I was," Stanton joked after the game.
– Keim praised left tackle Jared Veldheer, and good blind-side protection will mean a lot going against the 49ers.

Flooding and Ellington still game-night decisionPosted by on September 8, 2014 – 8:33 am
Well, everyone in the Valley woke up to the massive rain and flooding, and that tends to hold the attention right now. Even Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim, on his weekly "Doug and Wolf" appearance on Arizona Sports 98.7, did his call from home because he said he had a foot of water in his basement. Not good. The I-10 freeway is flooded in spots too. We'll have updates on azcardinals.com and on Twitter if needed as we get closer to the game. Nothing to report right now in terms of it impacting the game, but be sure to keep checking.
"Hopefully," Keim said, "all our fans can make it out there."
As for a little bit of football:
– Keim said running back Andre Ellington (foot) was limited again Sunday in the work the Cardinals did. That said, Keim said the medical and training staff will put Ellington through the paces pre-game to determine if he plays. My gut, based on pure speculation? I'd say they hold him out. But we'll see.
– Same goes for safety Tyrann Mathieu. I did find it interesting that Keim noted how well Jerraud Powers and Tony Jefferson have been playing and Mathieu's status is "just whether he fits in to the particular scheme this week." Again, my gut would say Mathieu sits. Powers and Jefferson can do the job.
– Keim said guard Jonathan Cooper (toe) is taking reps with the first unit. Ted Larsen is still the starter, but clearly, the Cardinals aren't going to shove Cooper in the corner. Keim said it would be up to Bruce Arians whether Cooper would get any actual work in the game.
– Keim said the decision to release linebacker Desmond Bishop was a "numbers decision." Bishop's salary is not guaranteed now, even if they were to bring him back. Although listening to Keim, I'm not sure that would happen anyway. "(Bishop) had a nice preseason but quite frankly (undrafted rookie) Glenn Carson did as well," Keim said. "Carson is the fourth inside linebacker at this point and we don't see that changing anytime soon."
– The Cardinals have not yet filled the open roster spot created with Bishop's release. I'd guess one would happen today, but we'll see. You could add a running back with Ellington's iffy situation, or a punter if ailing Dave Zastudil (groin) isn't ready.

Adrian Wilson visits practicePosted by on September 3, 2014 – 1:39 pm
Before anyone takes this out of context, when veteran safety and ex-Cardinal Adrian Wilson came to visit practice today, it was just that — a visit. It wasn't a tryout. Wilson wasn't working out for General Manager Steve Keim but conversing with him, wearing — as A-Dub often does — a trendy outfit and carrying what looked to be a notebook and pen. He and Keim go way back, with both North Carolina State products and Keim the one who scouted Wilson and pushed for his selection in the 2001 draft.
I only got to talk to Wilson briefly, and he said he was doing well. There was no talk of football per se, or his recent release by the Bears. He, as you can see in the picture below, still very much looks the part. (One young Cardinal saw him from afar and noted, "I thought he'd look older than he does." Take it as a compliment, Adrian.)
I'm not sure of the drop-by, but it isn't surprising. Someday, Wilson will be going into the team's Ring of Honor. That's been known since it was put in the official press release the day Wilson was released. I am one of many who thinks that, whenever Wilson decides to retire, he could very well sign a one-day contract with the Cardinals to end it with this franchise. And I would not be surprised to see Wilson end up with some kind of role within the organization at some point. I think the organization thinks that much of Wilson, and I think Wilson thinks that much of this organization.
– The Cardinals had a another mini-practice Wednesday. With a Monday game, the real "week" of practice starts Thursday, with pads and hitting. That's the day safety Tyrann Mathieu will give hitting a try.
– Arians said new defensive lineman Tommy Kelly is picking up the defense just fine — "Defensive line, the playbook isn't real deep," Arians quipped — and it looks like Kelly should slide in just fine into the defensive rotation.

Keim: Roster could still change this weekPosted by on September 2, 2014 – 8:09 am
General Manager Steve Keim is still looking at his roster. That can't be a surprise. He said this morning during his weekly appearance on Arizona Sports' "Doug and Wolf" show that the Cardinals will bring in "four or five" tryout players on Wednesday — this week's "Tuesday," given the Monday night opener next week — to see if any are worth signing. That thing about none of the bottom five guys on the roster getting comfortable? That's serious reality.
– Keim acknowledged it's a little bit of a concern there are only eight offensive linemen on the roster, but that's what the Cardinals have right now. Nate Potter hurt his shoulder so there was really no choice but to keep Bradley Sowell. Interestingly, Keim said the Cardinals will begin trying Earl Watford at right tackle a little bit and see if he can be a help there as well as both guard positions. This is a big year for Watford. At some point, the Cards are going to want to see him step forward when he gets a chance.
– It sounds like one of the roster spots came down to sixth-round pick wide receiver Walt Powell and undrafted linebacker Glenn Carson. Carson is on the roster; Powell made it for a day and then when the Cardinals claimed outside linebacker Thomas Keiser, Powell was cut. He did not make it through waivers, getting claimed by the Jets. "There was a time when Walt Powell did a few nice things (in camp), but when we looked at Glenn versus Walt, we felt Glenn outperformed him and earned a spot on this team," Keim said.
– Keim was happy to be able to get Keiser, who provides a natural pass rusher, "one thing I felt we were missing." That speaks again to the concern about individual pass rush ability (although Keim said he is happy where John Abraham is going into the season.) The Keiser move was long hoped for, as Keim said he had been targeted for a long time if he was released by San Diego. The Cards did not get him just for Chargers' intel going into the opener, Keim said, and Keim added that he doesn't think the Chargers — who only carry two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster — signed Ryan Lindley to the practice squad for such purposes either. The Chargers' QB coach is Frank Reich, who had been on the Cards' staff with Lindley.
– Only eight defensive backs is no big deal, Keim said, because of how versatile the eight guys are. Tyrann Mathieu, as noted last week, will get some contact this week and it's stil a we'll-see situation for Mathieu in the opener.
– Some teams see the practice squad for just practice help but Keim said he sees the practice squad as a developmental extension of the roster, for guys who can eventually get on and help with the 53. Keep that in mind when you see who is put there. The final four PS names should be released soon.

One guess at the 53Posted by on August 27, 2014 – 4:25 pm
The Cardinals have 75 on the roster now. By Saturday at 1 p.m. Arizona time, they must be down to 53. As always, we have a caveat whenever talking about that initial 53-man roster. I would be surprised if the Cardinals don't claim at least one guy from waivers. Veterans don't have guaranteed contracts if they are not on the Week 1 roster, so sometimes that's a factor. If anything, GM Steve Keim and coach Bruce Arians have shown many times the roster is a living, breathing thing subject to change at any and all times. That was apparent again today when the team signed Tommy Kelly, and news broke veteran James Harrison was going to visit. I can't see Kelly signing and then being cut Saturday, but you never know.
Plus, the final preseason game can have some bearing on a couple of roster spots (Arians said it'd be about five.) And that doesn't even include any potential injuries that could affect a guy who was going to make the team.
All that must be taken into account as I make my prediction at the 53-man roster (assuming no waiver claims, which I have already assumed will happen, so …):
QB (3): Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton, Logan Thomas. Ryan Lindley getting cut made this obvious, although it had been obvious for a while.
RB (4): Andre Ellington, Jonathan Dwyer, Stepfan Taylor, Robert Hughes. Jalen Parmele has been good on special teams, but I don't see it. I could see the Cardinals searching for a back with some speed for the practice squad.
WR (6): Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd, John Brown, Jaron Brown, Ted Ginn, Walt Powell. Powell has played well enough that I don't think they can sneak him on to the practice squad. I thought Brittan Golden had a pretty good camp too. He is practice-squad eligible, though.
TE (4): John Carlson, Rob Housler, Troy Niklas, Darren Fells. I could see Andre Hardy sticking on the practice squad too.
OL (8): Jared Veldheer, Ted Larsen, Lyle Sendlein, Paul Fanaika, Bobby Massie, Jonathan Cooper, Bradley Sowell, Earl Watford. This one is a tough one and the play of Sowell and Nate Potter in the finale could go a long way in making a decision on the backup tackle. I am also guessing that Watford, despite not being able to take hold of an available starting job for two straight years, gets another year. This is also one of those spots I'd think is vulnerable to a waiver claim.
DL (7): Calais Campbell, Dan Williams, Frostee Rucker, Kareem Martin, Ed Stinson, Alameda Ta'amu, Tommy Kelly. This is one of those places that is tenuous. Kelly's addition — he is with the team in San Diego, so does he play tomorrow? — adds another intriguing question. I'd guess a final spot will go to either him or Isaac Sopoaga. Can rookie Bruce Gaston make a push or is he practice-squad bound? The Cards are still seeking depth here, wherever they can find it.
OLB (5): Sam Acho, Matt Shaughnessy, John Abraham, Alex Okafor, Marcus Benard.
ILB (4): Kevin Minter, Larry Foote, Kenny Demens, Lorenzo Alexander. These two spots need to be seen in total, and nowhere else was more difficult to sort through. Alexander, I think, is one of those guys who survives because of his special teams work. Marcus Benard has pass-rushing skills that this team could use, but obviously, this leaves Desmond Bishop out. I'd think Thursday night's game will be important for him. (UDFA Glenn Carson would be a practice-squad candidate). One thing I can't get out of my head is Arians talking about keeping players at positions that are hard to replace if injuries hit. The Cards may want to stay deep at linebacker given the injury situation. None of this allows for a signing of James Harrison, of course, if that were to happen. This is the position I am least sure about.
CB (5): Patrick Peterson, Antonio Cromartie, Jerraud Powers, Justin Bethel, Bryan McCann. I would think the final spot comes down to McCann or Teddy Williams. Williams seemed like a lock to me with his size and special teams ability, but McCann is pretty good on special teams too and Williams has had his ups and downs as a cornerback. Thursday night would seem to be a big game for both.
S (4): Rashad Johnson, Tony Jefferson, Deone Bucannon, Tyrann Mathieu. This is assuming Mathieu is close to contributing soon, but even if he isn't, the Cardinals have a nice trio as Bucannon grows into this role.
Specialists (3): K Chandler Catanzaro, P Dave Zastudil, LS Mike Leach. Pretty straightforward. The Cardinals haven't come out and said Catanzaro is guaranteed to stick around all season, but I'd think he'll have his shot to prove himself in games that count.

Keim: Minter, Cooper should be backPosted by on August 25, 2014 – 8:14 am
GM Steve Keim said on his weekly appearance on Arizona Sports' "Doug and Wolf" show that the Cardinals expect linebacker Kevin Minter (pectoral) and guard Jonathan Cooper (toe) to return to practice today. That is good news, although it should probably come with a caveat: Because the Cards just played last night, I am guessing practice will be very light today. But it's a start. Bruce Arians had said this is a big week for both if they have any hope of playing in the opener. We'll see how it plays out.
– Keim confirmed what I thought I had seen, that wide receiver Michael Floyd did hesitate in his route on the play where Carson Palmer overthrew him despite no defender in the area. "Michael slowed down in his 'go' route and the fact is if he would have kept running Carson would have hit him in stride for a touchdown. I expect that to be cleaned up." Keim said he checked with Bruce Arians to see if Floyd was actually running a double move, but that Arians told him it was a straight fly pattern.
Overall, "it just didn't seem like our quarterback and our receivers were in sync last night," Keim said.
– He said after watching video, he was even more impressed with the offensive line play, especially the protection.
– Keim said a big concern of his coming into camp was right tackle but said that no longer is an issue. "Bobby Massie played very well last night," he said.
– He said he thought DT Dan Williams had his best game of the preseason. In light of Darnell Dockett's absence, that's a good thing.
– Keim was very high on the play of rookie safety Deone Bucannon, and said he hopes Bucannon gets more playing time.
– Asked if the Cardinals were going to take one kicker or two kickers to San Diego, Keim said they would make that decision "later today." UPDATE: The Cardinals cut Jay Feely.

Friday before the Bengals, as camp endsPosted by on August 22, 2014 – 4:25 pm
As cuts approach – down to 75 by Tuesday, down to 53 by next Saturday – it's getting a lot clearer who will likely be around for the Cardinals. (I will have a post on my predicted 53 next week.)
But coach Bruce Arians made a great point Friday about the last few spots on that 53-man roster, and what the decisions can be based upon.
"It's going to be hard. It's going to come down to positions of strength and we have about four or five positions of strength," Arians said. "You always have to measure those last five guys and what is harder to find if another injury occurs."
The injury component is important. Maybe keeping an extra defensive lineman makes sense if you are already thin. I'd think that definitely could come into play at inside linebacker with Kevin Minter's situation. It's hard enough finding guys sitting around to fill in there. Maybe less so on the offensive line. We shall see.
– Arians said there are still players that could stave off getting cut Sunday through their play, especially if they shine on special teams. If you are looking for hints of who will make it through to at least the final preseason games, look for the players that flash in the "transition game," as Ron Wolfley likes to call it.
– Not that Jaron Brown's place on this team has been in much doubt after an impressive training camp and preseason, but this was General Manager Steve Keim's comment about Brown on this week's edition of the "Big Red Rage" radio show: "He may be one of the most improved players from year to year I've seen in my NFL career."
Brown simply didn't get the reps in college playing behind future first-rounders Sammy Watkins and DeAndre Hopkins. He's gotten that work now.
– I don't know how much time linebacker John Abraham might play Sunday, if at all, but there is clearly little concern from either Abraham or the coaches that the veteran will be ready for the regular season. There is still a lot of talk about him getting into shape, and it lead to a funny exchange when Abraham was asked about his current weight.
"I didn't check," Abraham said. "I'll let you know, though. Some time next year."
Seriously, though Abraham said weight has never been an issue in his career and he doesn't think it will be now.
– Arians has been happy with the progress of rookie defensive lineman Ed Stinson. Stinson isn't someone who is going to fill up your notebook when you talk to him, but "of course when the head coach brings your name up in anything you are happy," he said. "I just want to make sure I put my 100 percent effort in and show what I've got."
– Keim said safety Tyrann Mathieu has been fully cleared and essentially, it will be up to Mathieu to decide when he can play in games again. "We're not going to press him," Keim said.
– Keim reiterated he thinks guard Jonathan Cooper, somewhere down the road, is going to be "fine" and he is reveling in the fact that neither tackle position has been a constant source of chatter this camp. That's a nod to Jared Veldheer and Bobby Massie.
"It's been refreshing," Keim said. "They don't talk about the right or the left side. Both have had very good camps."
– If you are going to the game Sunday (or any home game for that matter), don't forget about the NFL bag policy instituted last year. Click here for more info.
– Arians acknowledged "I would be surprised" if an NFC West team was not the NFC representative in the Super Bowl. Asked if he expected an NFC West team to win the Super Bowl, Arians didn't hesitate. "Yes."
– Arians, as he opened his final press conference of training camp: "I know you guys are really upset of this being the last day here," Arians said.
Then B.A. referenced the next practice-day presser, which will come at the team's Tempe facility. If you recall, construction there means the famous "interview tree" is no more. "The biggest thing, I don't want to see any tears when we don't meet underneath that tree next week," Arians said.
– Camp is over. Bring on the Bengals.

The expectation was that ratings for Monday Night Raw would rise this week because fans would tune in to see if CM Punk would make his return or not. However, the opposite took place. WWE saw a 12 percent drop in viewership, which has to be a bit alarming since it is the time period between the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania 30.
When Batista made his return on Monday Night Raw, WWE officials were said to be rather upset with the lackluster reaction from the audience. However, management then saw the television ratings for the segment and placed the blame on the Dayton crowd instead.
About seven years ago, Candice Michelle had her nose broken after taking a headbutt from Beth Phoenix. The former WWE diva has now decided to get that fix by going in for surgery. She noted that she was able to breathe a lot better afterwards.
Even though she is no longer with the company, WWE has decided to feature Beth Phoenix and her Glam Slam finisher on an episode of 30 Second Fury.
Former WWE diva Beth Phoenix wishes her boyfriend Edge a happy 40th birthday.
Edge won Royal Rumble 2010 by last eliminating John Cena. The other contestants in the match include Batista, Beth Phoenix, Big Show, Carlito, Chris Jericho, Chris Masters, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Evan Bourne, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, John Morrison, JTG, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, MVP, R Truth, Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin, Ted DiBiase, The Miz, Triple H, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder.

Baby Elaina: Mom & ex-boyfriend confess to killing daughter because she wouldn't stop crying
An Ohio woman and her ex-boyfriend finally admitted to the murder of her 18-month-old daughter yesterday in court, around three months after the young girl's remains were found in a box in a garage.
Elaina Steinfurth was reported missing in early June after her mother, Angela, told her estranged husband she could not find the little girl. The report set off a massive, three month-long search in the area. In September, authorities found a body in a box in the home of Angela's now ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old Steven King II. DNA testing confirmed that the skeletal remains were that of Baby Elaina's.
The former couple have now pled guilty and revealed the real story behind the murder…and the truth is more horrifying than you can imagine.

Though Steinfurth did not make a statement at the hearing, prosecutors revealed that the mom of two became frustrated with Elaina after she wouldn't stop crying and threw her across a room, causing severe injuries. The next day, Steinfurth realized that the toddler wasn't breathing well, but didn't report the injuries for fear of getting her other daughter taken away. According to authorities, that's when King smothered the baby to death.
King has now been charged with aggravated murder and abuse of a corpse, among other crimes, and will serve at least 24 years before he is eligible for parole. Meanwhile, Steinfurth will serve at least 18 years.
Words can't express how absolutely horrified I am by what happened to defenseless little Elaina. I don't understand how anyone, especially the child's own mother, can so brutally hurt such a beautiful, innocent, young kid. I can't even begin to imagine how heartbroken Elaina's family must be, particularly her dad, who trusted his former wife to take care of their daughter and ended up losing her. I'm just glad that both kids are out of this horrible woman's grasp and that both Steinfurth and King are now behind bars.

Rob Lee, Andrew Coltart and David Howell play Augusta's front-nine par threes in the Shot Centre.
If Rory McIlroy et al want to be in with a chance of donning the Green Jacket on Sunday night, they must make their mark on Augusta's quartet of par threes.
Championship pushes could hinge on, or be derailed by, performances on Flowering Crab Apple, Juniper, Golden Bell and Redbud, or the fourth, the sixth, the 12th and the 16th holes, if you prefer.
Sky Sports' three amigos – Masters Breakfast anchor Rob Lee and his trusty lieutenants, David Howell and Andrew Coltart – examined the challenges of Augusta's par threes on Thursday morning, inside the Shot Centre.
Rob and Andrew never teed off at the iconic Georgia course, but David has played there three times, registering a best finish of 11th in 2005 as well another top-20 placing in 2006.
So did prior knowledge of Augusta help the Englishman get the better of Mr Lee and Mr Coltart?
Hit the video at the top of the page to see how our boys combatted the first two par threes and the clip to the right to learn what fate befell them on the back nine par threes.
There are more technical demonstrations, as well as highlights and analysis from Augusta, every morning on Masters Breakfast, showing on Sky Sports 4 at 9am until Sunday - a perfect accompaniment to our live coverage, which starts at 7pm on Thursday.
Bubba Watson has defended Jordan Spieth after he was criticised for his behaviour during the final round of the Masters.
Rob Lee blogs on his vivid Masters Breakfast attire and the men that made waves at Augusta National.

Jury returns guilty verdict.
A 12-member Cass County District Court jury found a 30-year-old Beaver Lake man guilty of driving while intoxicated with the aggravator of refusing to take a chemical test. The conviction is a Class IIIA Felony.
The defense had argued against the "basis of the arrest" of Nicholas Grizzle by a Cass County sheriff's deputy in May of 2008, said Cass County Deputy Public Defender Julie Bear. She said the defense challenged how officers and prosecutors determined there should be charges when there was no breath test.
The trial involved about two full days of arguments and testimony. The jury deliberated for just over three hours before returning the verdict.
Cass County Deputy County Attorney Steve Sunde was the prosecuting attorney. Sunde said there will now be an enhancement hearing as the state tries to establish this conviction as Grizzle's third DUI conviction.
Grizzle was also found guilty of procuring alcohol for a minor. A 20-year-old was with him at the time of the arrest.
Sentencing is set for March 22nd.

Drink glasses were kept filled and the courses came out hot and well presented. An enjoyable dining experience except for it being a bit noisy---but then again many families with young children were dining there---maybe rearrange the seating to have a "family area " and another area for quitter dining.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Plagued with its own successLAR10222013TUESDined on 10/23/2014As popular as Maggiano's is, it seems to be overwhelmed by sheer numbers. There are too many people in the room, tables too close together, too noisy. There's almost a "mass produced" feel to its admittedly delicious food. The waitstaff is heroic, but their task is overwhelming. I made a reservation, but our table was not ready when we arrived. Though our party opted for individual entrees, some popular items (veal parmigian) arrived in a large amount, on a serving platter, as if to feed the entire table. I was pleasantly surprised when Maggiano's allowed us to bring in a small birthday cake, but I didn't realize what a challenge that would present to our already overworked waiter, who was pleasant & attentive but VERY busy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Family DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014I have eaten at Maggiano's before several years ago, but I do not think I will ever return. The food was way overpriced for the quality that was served. I would have been better off taking my family to Olive Garden. I was looking for a fine center city dining experience as a treat for my family and the food was mediocre. The cost was $250 for two adults, 1 teen, 1 child and only 1 glass of wine. The marinara sauce was over-seasoned, the meatballs were mushy, the seafood entree was supposed to be a mix of seafoods, but was really just a bunch of mussells. I did not feel that the flavors were fresh, vibrant, or original. It was all just so-so. Our waiter was very nice, but the other staff was sloppy and rude.

- Not impressedTellingItLikeItIsDined on 10/15/2014Service veri inattentive. I had empty water glass for mor than half the meal - waitstaff race by, moving faster than a brisk walk, not settling or conducive to a relaxed meal. Managers there walked by as well, conveniently avoiding eye contact or asking the patrons how their meals and service was, it seemed to me. Waiter seemed to want to rush us through - no elaboration on the menu, house specialties, etc. The only salad dressing options were house dressing (vinaigrette) or Caesar dressing. Salad was too finely chopped (ended up eating mine with a spoon!). Definitely would not go back.

U.S.: New Billboards Urge Parents To Keep Marijuana Out of Reach of ChildrenSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 11/24/2014 - 19:38
Latest 'Consume Responsibly' ads feature a young child looking at a glass of wine and cookies, and it reads: 'Some juices and cookies are not for kids: Keep "adult snacks" locked up and out of reach'
The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) is launching billboards this week in Denver and Seattle that encourage parents to keep marijuana out of reach of children. The ads are part of a broader public education campaign urging adults to "consume responsibly" in states where marijuana is legal.
The billboards feature a child looking at what could be a glass of grape juice or a stemless glass of wine and a few cookies that might or might not be infused with marijuana. It reads, "Some juices and cookies are not meant for kids," and urges them to, "Keep 'adult snacks' locked up and out of reach."
MPP spokesperson Mason Tvert was accompanied at the Monday unveiling of the billboard by Jane West, a marijuana consumer and mother of two small children, who serves as director of Women Grow, a national organization dedicated to helping women influence and succeed in the cannabis industry.
"We need to treat marijuana like any other product that is legal for adults and not meant for children," West said. "A marijuana-infused cookie might look like a regular cookie to my four-year-old, just as a glass of wine might look just like grape juice. Whether it's marijuana, alcohol, or household cleaning products, it's our job as parents to keep them locked up and out of reach."
California: Attorney General Kamala Harris Says Legal Marijuana Is InevitableSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 11/20/2014 - 22:27

Hemp News
Legalized marijuana is inevitable, California Attorney General Kamala Harris admitted this week, and she has no "moral opposition" to that happening and is "not opposed" it, she said.
This comes as something of a surprise, since Harris won reelection in California last month by beating the pro-marijuana Republican candidate, Ron Gold, reports RT.com. But while Harris said pot legalization has a "certain inevitability," she didn't actually endorse it.
Harris, the consummately cautious politician, hedged her bets by claiming she had "concerns" over the law enforcement implications of legalization.
"I am not opposed to the legalization of marijuana," Harris told Buzzfeed News in an interview. "I'm the top cop, and so I have to look at it from a law enforcement perspective and a public safety perspective.
"I think we are fortunate to have Colorado and Washington be in front of us on this and figuring out the details of what it looks like when it's legalized," Harris said. "We're watching it happen right before our eyes in Colorado and Washington.
"I don't think it's gonna take too long to figure this out," Harris said to Buzzfeed. "I think there's certain inevitability about it."
Oregon: Marijuana Legalization Activists Send Open Letter to Oregon DAsSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 11/20/2014 - 18:38
Oregon marijuana legalization activists involved in the successful campaign for Measure 91, which legalized cannabis for adults 21 and older in the state, on Thursday sent an open letter to district attorneys statrewide.
Open Letter to Oregon District Attorneys
Criminal justice advocates and leaders call upon you to start now on implementing important drug policy reforms.
Although Oregon voters passed Measure 91 with a 12-point margin, implementation of this better, smarter approach to marijuana policy will not be complete until the first half of 2016. We don't have to wait until then to start to mitigate the damage done by decades of criminalization, wasted law enforcement time and squandered taxpayer money.
Prosecutors in Oregon's largest county have already decided to dismiss, and stop prosecuting, marijuana-related offenses that would no longer exist under Measure 91. Other county prosecutors should follow Multnomah County's lead.
A strong majority of Oregon voters have directed the state to stop treating marijuana as a crime and to better prioritize our limited law enforcement resources. With so many lives and so much money at stake, waiting would be unreasonable and clearly damaging to Oregon's communities. We should work quickly to limit the damage already caused by a feckless war against marijuana.
We urge you to cease enforcement of marijuana laws that will no longer exist when provisions of Measure 91 take effect in July.

Colorado: These Are The Good Old Days - Things About To Change In Marijuana MarketSubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 11/18/2014 - 21:16
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
This may be the golden age of marijuana in Colorado, and things are about to change.
Supply-and-demand is ever-so-slowly leading to lower prices on the recreational front, and legislative changes are in the offing that could make it more difficult for doctors to authorize medicinal cannabis for severe pain, reports Jeremy P. Mayer at The Denver Post. Voters could be asked to add a special tax onto medical marijuana, and there's even been some reckless talk about discontinuing medicinal cannabis altogether, lumping all cannabis sales into the recreational market.
"It is fluid," said Samn Kamin, a law professor at the University of Denver. "Everyone knew this was going to happen.
"This is the first-of-its-kind regulation," Kamin said. "We knew we weren't going to get everything right the first time."
Medical marijuana caregivers in Colorado may grow up to six plants for up to five patients, for a total of 30 plants, but some get a waiver to grow more. As of May, the state had about 5,000 registered caregivers.
A bill will be introduced in the Colorado Legislature next session to reduce the number of plants that caregivers can grow for their patients, and require the caregivers to go through a much more stringent approval process with state health officials.
Nevada: Las Vegas Beckons To Marijuana Tourists Next YearSubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 11/18/2014 - 02:54
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
Las Vegas may have hosted this year's Marijuana Business Convention and Expo, but historically it hasn't been a friendly city to the weed. Things are looking to change for the positive, though, next year, when medical marijuana dispensaries are scheduled to open and welcome out-of-state tourists with authorizations from their own states.
This, therefore, may have been the last year of strangely jarring discrepancies such as the one had by photographer/herbalist Lisa Little (who also operates a medical marijuana collective in her home state of Washington) when she called the the Rio All Suites Hotel & Casino -- which hosted the marijuana convention -- to ask about specific smoking policies to accommodate medicinal cannabis patients.
Little told me that after speaking with no fewer than four different Rio employees, none of whom seemed sympathetic to her plight, and all of whom, she said, "treated me as if they thought I was a criminal," she still hadn't gotten an adequate answer as to what accommodations might be available for out-of-state patients who might need to medicate on premises at the expo.
"They finally handed me off to the Las Vegas Metro Police Department Narcotics Unit," Lisa told me with a sigh. "The officer, once again, treated me as if I were some sort of felon, reminding me that I'd better not break the rules in Nevada -- and I had to ask him, if I was planning on breaking the rules, why would I call the police department and tell them so?"
Ohio: Industrial Hemp Finds A Home In Health & Wellness ProgramsSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 11/17/2014 - 22:46

Twenty States Have Legalized Industrial Hemp By Wide Margins, With Major Health Institutions Giving the Nod to Hemp's Protein-Rich Nutrition
With interest in food, farming, wellness, and all-things-cannabis are on the rise, industrial hemp is attracting a fan base broader than "hipsters" and vegetarians that may first come to mind. Major health institutions are now on board, giving the nod to the nutritional quality of hemp's protein-rich seeds, and assuring people eating them will not cause failed drug tests.
The productivity of Canadian hemp producers has gone up in recent years, bringing more affordable hempseed foods to grocery stores and vitamin websites. Politically, hemp is a rare bipartisan issue, as evidenced by the 20 states that have legalized the crop by wide margins, defining it as a distinct variety of cannabis sativa, having .03 percent THC or less (no drug/narcotic value).
This is welcome reform for Plant Kingdom Bakery owner Jeremy Koosed, who claims to have discussed the subject of hemp for nutrition with hundreds of thousands of people. For the past five years, the Lyndhurst-based "snackery" has been onhand with hempseed foods and information at community festivals and farmers markets. Coffee shop baristas have also helped clarify the subject for customers, as Phoenix Coffee locations in Cleveland and Nervous Dog in Akron have made Plant Kingdom snacks available since 2009.
New York: City Council Speaker Supports Marijuana LegalizationSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 11/13/2014 - 20:08

Hemp News
New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito has endorsed the legalization of marijuana, making her one of the first high-ranking officials in the Big Apple to take such a position.
"Yes, I do support the legalization of marijuana," Mark-Viverito said at an unrelated news conference on Thursday, reports Mara Gay at The Wall Street Journal. "I think based on conversations that we're seeing nationally, the way people feel about it, I think that it's just something that is appropriate at this time."
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio this week announced a new policy under which those stopped for low-level marijuana possession will be given tickets instead of being arrested. That change is a "step forward," Mark-Viverito said.
She added that she's concerned that the mayor's new policy doesn't do enough to improve the "initial interaction" between police and New York City residents. She said she supported the outright legalization of cannabis, and said she had used it herself.
"If you're asking whether I have smoked marijuana, yes," Mark-Viverito said.
Mayor de Blasio said on Monday that issuing court summons instead of arresting people for low-level marijuana possession is "good for New Yorkers of color and particularly young people of color."
D.C.: Congress Members Hold Bipartisan Press Conference On Marijuana LegalizationSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 11/13/2014 - 16:39
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and other Members of Congress whose states have legalized or relaxed restrictions on marijuana and who support the District of Columbia's right to legalize marijuana will host a press conference on how Congress should respond to local and state marijuana legalization nationwide, Thursday November 13, at 11 a.m. on Capitol Hill, Studio B, House Press Gallery.
The other hosts are Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Jared Polis (D-CO) and Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA). Norton welcomed their support, all of whom have issues with the treatment of their states' marijuana laws by Congress, but whose jurisdictions do not face the possibility of Congressional meddling like the District.
"I am pleased to stand with my colleagues in a bipartisan response to threats we are already receiving to overturn the will of District of Columbia voters," Norton said. "Recent polling shows that 54 percent of people nationwide support marijuana legalization.
"The D.C. marijuana legalization ballot initiative, approved by two-thirds of voters, is in line with the majority of Americans," Norton said. "Even when opinions differ on the underlying issue of marijuana legalization, there is no debate that local laws in this country are for local jurisdictions."
Washington: Marr Announces He's Leaving (Marijuana) Liquor BoardSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 11/13/2014 - 08:21
Washington State Liquor Control Board (LCB) member and former State Senator Chris Marr will leave the regulatory panel in January 2015, the former Spokane auto dealer has announced.
In a prepared statement to Governor Jay Inslee, fellow board members and Board Executive Director Rick Garza, Marr thanked them all for their hard work over the last two years during which Washington undertook the implementation of I-502, the legalization of recreational use of cannabis, reports Jim Boldt at Cannabis Wire.
Marr said he will pursue a career in lobbying. He leaves the Board at probably its second most important juncture, the real possibility of legislative action to mend the medical marijuana (MMJ) law and blend it with the state's new recreational use law.
In addition to Marr's leaving, LCB chair Sharon Foster's term on the Board is up in January and rumors are she will not ask for reappointment. This would leave the Board with an institutional knowledge shortage, according to Cannabis Wire, and only one remaining member, Ruthann Kurose, who worked through the problematic implementation of the recreational use law, I-502.
Those involved in cannabis policy in Washington mention former state Rep. Lynn Kessler and former state Senator Tracey Eide as possible candidates for either or both slots.
Marr's statement is below:
Oregon: Multnomah County D.A. Dismisses Low-Level Marijuana CasesSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 11/13/2014 - 08:11
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
In the wake of the approval of marijuana legalization initiative Measure 91 in Oregon, the Multnomah County District Attorney's office announced it will dismiss low-level marijuana cases.
"Because it is clear that a significant majority of voters in Multnomah County support the legalization of marijuana in certain amounts, this office will dismiss the pending charges related to conduct which will otherwise become legal July 1, 2015," announced the office in a prepared statement, reports Kyle Iboshi at KGW.
Measure 91 allows anyone 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of marijuana in a public place, and up to eight ounces at home.
A total of 50 pending marijuana cases will be dismissed, according to the Multnomah County D.A.'s office.
"This office does not plan to prosecute future charges for conduct related to marijuana possession and delivery of marijuana which will become lawful under Measure 91 absent exceptional circumstances," the written statement reads.
Prosecutors in other Oregon counties are considering taking similar action.
U.S.: Willie Nelson Says Obama 'May Be Happy' About DC Marijuana LegalizationSubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 11/11/2014 - 19:04
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
President Obama "may be happy" that D.C. voters legalized marijuana in the nation's capital, according to country music legend and stalwart cannabis supporter Willie Nelson.
Nelson, who performed Thursday night at the White House for veterans, says he once smoked a joint on top of the presidential mansion after an appearance there during President Jimmy Carter's administration, reports Aaron C. Davis at The Washington Post.
The country music icon, a close personal friend of Paul Stanford and the Campaign to Restore and Regulate Hemp (CRRH), has given ringing endorsements to the political initiative work of CRRH.
Nelson said in an interview with CNN that he probably wouldn't bring up the topic of marijuana to Obama on Thursday night, but thinks the President is probably sympathetic to the cause.
"I think I realize how he feels about it and I've read some of his books and things about when he was a kid, how he may have delved into that matter a little bit," Nelson said. "I'm sure he's very understanding of what is going on and he may be happy to see it happening."
Nevada: Backers Say They Have Signatures To Put Marijuana Legalization On 2016 BallotSubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 11/11/2014 - 18:41
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
Supporters of an initiative petition to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Nevada on Friday said they have collected far more than the required number of signatures to qualify for the 2016 ballot.
The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol plans to turn in about 170,000 signatures to county clerks on Wednesday, reports Sean Whaley at the Las Vegas Review-Journal. To qualify for the ballot, 101,667 signatures from registered Nevada voters are required.
Brezny said he expects to have almost twice the number of signatures needed in each of Nevada's four Congressional districts.
If the signatures are there, the legalization proposal for those age 21 and older will go to the 2015 Legislature. If the Legislature fails to approve the proposal within the first 60 days of the session, it goes on the Nevada general election ballot in 2016.
The measure is modeled after Amendment 2, the recreational marijuana legalization law approved by Colorado voters in 2012.
Support among Nevada voters was measured in 2013 at 54 percent for and 42 percent against, Brezny said when the petition was filed in April.

A public hearing on the legalization of marijuana in Vermont is scheduled for Wednesday. The hearing will be held statewide via Vermont Interactive Television.
Earlier this year, the Vermont Legislature ordered the administration to study marijuana legalization, with a report due in January, reports the Associated Press.
The state contracted with the RAND Drug Policy Research Center to study the production, distribution, and possession of cannabis.
Wednesday's hearing will be held by Secretary of Administration Jeb Spaulding and Beau Kilmer, who co-directs the RAND Drug Policy Research Center.
Spaulding and Kilmer will make brief presentations, after which people attending the meeting will be allowed to ask questions and make comments.
U.S.: Marijuana Legalization Puts Military In Awkward PositionSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 11/10/2014 - 20:08
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
With the number of states where marijuana is now legal reaching four (plus the District of Columbia), the United States military is still trying to enforce 20th Century drug policies of zero tolerance towards cannabis, despite the shifting sands of public opinion.
With Alaska, Oregon and D.C. joining Colorado and Washington as legal havens for weed, the army has gone to great pains to remind troops that state law doesn't help servicemen who smoke pot, reports RT.com.
The military is governed by federal laws, under which marijuana possession remains a criminal offense; use or possession of cannabis also remains a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), and can result in court martial.
Each branch of the military claims to keep troops off marijuana by frequent drug testing and stiff penalties for those who test positive.
According to Army testing data recently obtained by the Washington Times, 30,836 of the 41,000 soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state were tested in fiscal 2014; that's about 75 percent. Meanwhile, at Fort Carson, Colorado, all 26,000 active duty personnel were tested.
New York: NYPD Poised To Stop Low-Level Marijuana Possession ArrestsSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 11/10/2014 - 18:50
Individuals Would Instead be Ticketed and Ordered to Court
Advocates Cautiously Optimistic, But Key Questions and Concerns Remain
An article on the front page of Monday's New York Times outlines a plan by the de Blasio Administration to end low-level marijuana possession arrests in New York City. According to the article, those found with small amounts of marijuana would be issued a court summons and immediately released.
This would be a shift from the current arrest practice, wherein police charge people with a misdemeanor – the person is then handcuffed, taken to the precinct and held for hours, fingerprinted and photographed, and eventually released with a court date and a virtually permanent arrest record. Ending arrests for marijuana possession is a constructive step towards reform, yet many questions and concerns about the new proposal remain.
The new proposal comes on the heels of a recently released report by the Drug Policy Alliance and the Marijuana Arrest Research Project, which analyzed marijuana arrest and income data. It shows that low-income and middle class communities of color face dramatically higher rates arrests for marijuana possession than do white communities of every class bracket.
