The National Bureau of Fish and Game would probably outlaw any fishing lure that looks like me.
Occasionally, a well respected and adored celebrity like myself enjoys going off and having a little time to himself. I'm not talking about the alone time I already have, like when I'm sunbathing at Coney Island, or dining at the Golden Corral or waiting for the online date I made to show up at Fatburger. I may appear to be alone at these times, but there are still people in the general vicinity, and these people are probably rabid fans who are too intimidated or polite to bother me.
But out on a lake with my pole in one hand, and fishing gear in the other...that's when I can truly feel that I am alone. Just surrounded by the beauty of nature, and the beauty of me. Sitting in the boat or standing on the shore and looking out at the water that's been dotted by all my empty cans of Natural Light. So tranquil.
Just as I am great at every endeavor I undertake, I'm also a fantastic fisherman. I always bring home enough fish for at least a midnight snack, though sometimes it requires a quick stop through the drive thru for a fried fish sandwich.
But I feel that I am holding back a bit when I go fishing, just trying to give the poor fish a fighting chance. I find that when I gaze into the water, fish begin surrounding the boat to stare up at me. Unfortunately, they are often so enamored with looking at me that they don't bother looking for the bait I've dropped in the water in order to catch them.
So I was thinking that it would make me the greatest fisherman of all time if only I could create a lure that looked like me. The fish would naturally be attracted to it, come over and attempt to kiss or nibble on my likeness. Then, the hook would be set and I would be the one licking and nibbling on their tasty flesh instead of the other way around.
Of course, like so many of my great plans, I fear that this would be stopped by jealous bureaucrats. The National Bureau of Fish and Game would begin wringing their hands, nervous that such an attractive lure would end up depleting the fish population to the point of extinction. I hear that there is some kind of potential problem with fish population because of a rumored oil spill somewhere, but I have not had time to check the facts on that.
So for now, I guess I'll just have to continue being a master angler without using what i call, SladeBait, The Lure of A Legend. SladeBait is the lure all fish crave. Luckily, I can still attract fish with an occasional taste of my spittle or sweat. The National Bureau of Fish and Game can't stop me from putting a little "Essence of Slade" on my lure from time to time.

Aviva Premiership leaders Saracens take on formidable Clermont Auvergne in the Heineken Cup semi-final at Twickenham on Saturday.
Sarries head into the contest unbeaten in domestic competition since October, but when it comes to the European Cup French teams have ended their adventures in the past two seasons.
Clermont were 22-3 victors at Vicarage Road in the quarter-finals in 2012 and Toulon won 24-12 in last year's semi-final - and they were beaten twice in the Pool stages by Toulouse.
Perennial semi-finalists Clermont have won an astonishing 76 consecutive home games but have proved far more fallible away from their Parc des Sports Marcel.
'Les Jaunards' have lost nine away matches in the French Top 14 alone this season.
Their only success on the road since November came just down the road from Saturday's venue when they beat Harlequins at the Stoop.
These clubs have met three times in the premier competition before, with Clermont triumphing on each occasion and scoring a total of eight tries to two in the process.
They dispatched their opponents 22-3 in the quarter-finals last year, but considering Saracens' dominant form this season, you would expect them to match Clermont all the way in what should be a close contest.
Team news
Alex Goode starts at full-back and is joined by David Strettle and Chris Ashton in the back three as head coach Mark McCall makes three personnel changes to the starting XV that beat 14-man Ulster last time out.
In the midfield, Marcelo Bosch partners Brad Barritt at centre, whilst in the halves Owen Farrell is joined by experienced scrum-half Neil de Kock.
Up front, Mako Vunipola, Schalk Brits and James Johnston make up the front row, with Steve Borthwick captaining the side at second row - he is joined by Mouritz Botha at lock.
Kelly Brown starts at blindside flanker, with Premiership Player of the Season nominee Jacques Burger at openside flanker. England international Billy Vunipola starts at No.8 to complete the back row.
Meanwhile, Clermont will be without captain Aurelien Rougerie due to a thigh injury. Benson Stanley takes his place in one of three changes to the backline that faced Leicester in the quarter-finals.
Lee Byrne starts at full-back in the place of Jean-Marcellin Buttin while New Zealand wing Sitiveni Sivivatu returns, taking over from Noa Nakaitaci, who is on the bench.
Back row forwards Damien Chouly and New Zealander Fritz Lee have recovered from knocks to line up in an unchanged pack.
The winners of the match will face either holders Toulon or Munster, who meet on Sunday, in the final.

The Osbournes Owe Nearly $2 Million in Back Taxes
The New York Daily News reports that Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are being accused of dodging the tax man for a number of years, and now he's come to collect.
The couple are accused of skipping out on tax bills of $718,948.25 and $1.03 million in 2008 and 2009, leaving them a debt of nearly $1.7 million.
Sharon and Ozzy aren't the only ones in hot water with Uncle Sam: Daughter Kelly reportedly owes the IRS a cool $34,000.
After learning of the mistake, Sharon wrote on her Twitter that she believed someone in her employ was taking charge of her financial affairs.
"You can't rely on anyone but yourself," Osbourne tweeted. "You have to be on top of your own business affairs. My fault........lesson learned."

Just another example of celebs who feel they are above the rest of society. And as always they blame it on an employee. Why do people continue to worship these people? They wouldn't stop to give you a kick in the chest if you were laying on the sidewalk having a problem breathing.

Yeah! Someone in their employ was in charge o their financial affairs? It's mostly the wealth who do not pay their taxes and they know what they're doing Yet they're the ones the Republicans fight to be sure they get fat tax breaks. Anyone who would bite off the head of a bird(Ozzy did) would draw blood before paying taxes. Personally, I get sick at even glancing at red hair...gives me chills. They'll have a cellmate in Westly Snipes in Federal prison, he doesn't pay taxes, either.

replacing compressor relay
I need to replace a compressor relay for a small refrigeration system but unfortunately the part number was burned off when the thing fried. I was hoping to get some help in figuring out how to find a new one. The relay was made by MRKK, that's all I can make out. Here is a picture
And here is the information on the compressor:
Any help is appreciated - thanks!
Go to the manufacturers website. they should have a listing of what potential relay and start cap to use.
the relay in the picture is a current relay.... as beenthere says model # dictates relay....
Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately the manufacturer is no longer around and I have not been able to find a service manual for the instrument (this is for a bench-top refrigerated centrifuge so it's not as common as say a household refrigerator). I have also not been able to find any information about the compressor.
The few relays I have found on the internet that look like this are specified by horsepower (found one listed for 1/5hp and one for 1/6hp). From the information I gave on the compressor, is there a way for me to determine the hp? If I have to guess at one of these to try as a replacement, is it better to go with the higher hp? Any suggestions how I go about replacing this relay, given the information that I have?
How many BTU is the system. Convert that to HP.

The presidential dollar coin has fallen victim to Washington's cost cutting efforts.
The White House said Tuesday it is stopping nearly all production of the coins, which carry the likeness of every deceased president. The effort will save taxpayers $50 million a year in production and storage costs.
In 2005, Congress passed the Presidential $1 Coin Act, which mandated that the United States Mint issue four new coins each year from 2007 to 2016.
But as it turns out, there just wasn't much demand.
"Surprising, to my shock and dismay," Vice President Joe Biden said jokingly Tuesday as he announced plans to stop production.
The United States Mint had been producing between 70 and 80 million coins per deceased president. But the lack of demand has resulted in nearly 1.4 billion coins — or 40 percent of those produced — being returned to the Federal Reserve.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said simply: "That costs money."
The White House says the coin surplus will more than meet the demand for the coins for at least a decade. And the Mint will still be required by law to produce a small number of coins for collectors.
The announcement is part of a White House campaign to cut back on government waste.
The White House also announced efforts Tuesday to reduce Medicare fraud involving prescriptions for OxyContin and Percocet, and outlined steps the Justice Department took to recover $5.6 billion in fraud this year.

An Allen Superior Court jury acquitted a Fort Wayne man of charges he molested a young girl.
Earlier this year, prosecutors charged Allen Reed with two counts of child molesting and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Reed was accused of seducing a 13-year-old girl, giving her alcohol and molesting her.
But on Wednesday, an Allen Superior Court jury acquitted him of the charges after a two-day jury trial.

More than 20 animals, including horses, alpacas and llamas, rescued in Littleton
LITTLETON -- Volunteers lead animals out of the inhumane pens where they had been kept. (Courtesy Photo)
LITTLETON — More than 20 horses, alpacas, and llamas were taken from a Main Street home this week after being found neglected by the owners.
"The manure and the muck was so deep, they couldn't even move," said Teresa Paradis, executive director of Live and Let Live Farm in Chichester, the group that helped rescue the animals.
Paradis was called in by Littleton police and representatives from the state Department of Agriculture after Littleton residents started to complain about the conditions of the animals, she said.
"It's a good thing the state and the police were on it right away, because it could have been much, much worse," she said.
The animals were getting out of their pens and their small living area had become overflowing with muck, she said. Some of the smaller horses were falling down in the filth, she said. Witnesses said the muck was eight inches deep, she said.
"It was really deep," she said.
The owners had become unable to care for all of the animals, most of which were brought into the state in the past year from Nevada, she said.
Paradis and the volunteers with Live and Let Live loaded up 16 of the animals last week, and the others went to neighbors, she said. Many need medical care and her volunteers suspect the animals have developed abscesses under the muck. She also is worried that some of the mares have become pregnant when the animals were kept without any gender separation.
Some of the animals are emaciated from lack of food, and many have hoove problems and other health care issues.
"Hooves are over-grown and not properly cared for, horses have been seen stumbling and falling down when trying to walk," she said.
Live and Let Lie now has 71 horse it has rescued, mostly from people who are no longer able to afford the animal care. The farm also has small animals like goats, and dogs it has rescued. The tough economic times has left the farm with more animals to care for, and fewer people willing to adopt them, she said.
"This is really a tough one for us," she said.
The farm will have to find a way to pay for feed and medical care for all the animals it now has, she said.
"The cost of hay, feed, supplements and what appears to be extensive medical rehabilitation care, dental and hoof care needed as well as the gelding surgery expenses, will be in the thousands," she said.
Donations for the medical fund, feed and hay are welcome and can be made at the rescue's website by credit or debit card or through the Pay Pal account at: www.liveandletlivefarm.org , or by mail to Live and Let Live Farm Rescue, 20 Paradise Lane, Chichester, NH 03258

Immediate Crisis Response - Overview
UNDP works to help ensure that the humanitarian response to the emergency also contributes to longer-term development objectives and more resilient communities, laying the best possible ground work for development work beyond the immediate emergency; and helping people move from humanitarian dependency to self-sufficiency as soon as possible.UNDP works to help ensure that the humanitarian response to the emergency also contributes to longer-term development objectives and more resilient communities, laying the best possible ground work for development work beyond the immediate emergency; and helping people move from humanitarian dependency to self-sufficiency as soon as possible.
UNDP ensures public services are functioning as early as possible; affected people are given emergency employment, an income, and trained in construction techniques and other skills to start the process of rebuilding infrastructure and removing rubble; and small businesses are given start up grants, financing and other help to keep communities viable and functioning.
UNDP advisors also work with and train local public servants to make sure that the buildings, infrastructure and communities being reconstructed meet a minimal code of disaster resistance, and that where possible, the underlying triggers of a conflict or disaster are addressed.
UNDP's immediate crisis response package:
- Emergency employment, start-up grants and loans to recapitalize local businesses
- Community infrastructure rehabilitation, to improve access to basic services as well as revitalize the local economy
- Debris management, to ease access and rebuild infrastructure
- Local governance support, strengthening local government capacity for relief and recovery planning, coordination and implementation, improving the capacity for local risk management

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
In his previous book, Thomas Frank explained why working America votes for politicians who reserve their favors for the rich. Now, in Wrecking Crew, Frank examines the Washington those politicians have given us, showing why, no matter what happens in November 2008, we're stuck with it for the foreseeable future.
Casting back to the early days of the conservative revolution, Frank describes the rise of a ruling coalition dedicated to dismantling government. But rather than cutting down the big government they claim to hate, conservatives have simply sold it off, deregulating some industries, defunding others, but always turning public policy into a private-sector bidding war. Washington itself has been remade into a golden landscape of super-wealthy suburbs and gleaming lobbyist headquarters. And though arch-lobbyist Jack Abramoff has crashed and burned, the government-by-entrepreneurship he pioneered so outrageously has become the law of the land.
It is no coincidence, Frank argues, that the same politicians who guffaw at the idea of effective government have installed a regime in which incompetence is the rule. Nor will the country easily shake off the consequences of deliberate misgovernment through the usual election remedies. Obsessed with achieving a lasting victory, conservatives have taken pains to enshrine the free market as the permanent creed of state.
Stamped with Frank's audacity, analytic brilliance, and wit, Wrecking Crewis his most revelatory work yet—and his most important.

Using the Report creator I can't seem to be able to get any reducing parts (eg. reducers, Olets, reducing tees) to show the branch size in the ND field. It currently shows the header size only and groups all parts together. eg if i have two weldolets with a header of DN100 but one with a branch of DN50 and the other DN40 then they will be grouped together showing the quantity as 2 DN100 weldolets.
I don't really want to go through all the reducing parts in the spec creator to add the sizes back to the size description.
Can anyone help me please?
To show what I mean i have attached a generated report.
Is necessary to add the propertie: "Reducers Size2".
I don't think you'll be able to do it. I don't see where the reduction size is stored in the database for reducers. The only place it appeared was in the size description. If you had the reducing size in that, you might have been able to parse the size description and extract the reduction size.
Yury, where is the Reducers Size2 property?
when you go to create new report is posible to select which components do you want.
Report configuration->new->New blank->Edit query.
Here you need add from the list of Available Classes: Engineering Items/Inline Assets/Reducers. This class has propertie "SIZE2".
Because he referenced using olets, I assumed he was talking about Plant 3D objects not P&ID.
Thanks guys. Yeah i'm only needing the Plant 3D side of thing not P&ID.
By the looks of it, its not possible. Hopefully there is a workaround that can fix this problem. Its a bit of a pain to have to go through and manually modify those entries after that have been generated.
I hope an Autodesk person can chime in with something.
Yeah this is unbelievable.... you can have reducers, but no indication on what the reducing size is?
I have been messing with the report editor, and it has a field called "size" but it is ALWAYS blank. I look at the data manager and the size of the reducer is clearly labled under "size" as in 4" x 3" ....
why does this not show up under the report creator "size" field?
Hi guys,
I'm looking into this problem. It certainly appears that this is an issue. I'm talking to our engineering team to see if there are any workarounds and hopefully get this fixed soon. Thanks.
I also found that in the Spec editor, in the catalog of Elbow ( i only looked at the Elbows ) the 45 and 90's are ground together.
but when I generate a BOM report, it does not seperate the 90's and 45's. you get get a total count of of both, labeled as either 90's or 45's.
which is totally unaceptable.
I had to redo the elbows into two different catalog enteries to properly get a BOM report for these.
What is the point of having a "bill of materials" where it does not give you the line list of items correctly?
I am working with Plant 3D v2012. I have created a project and started a number of 3D drawings. In the 3D model, I sometimes work with 2 or 3 different pipe specs: sometimes I have to connect AISI304 Stainless Steel Pipes to HDPE pipes by means of collar + flanges.
I use custom made specificatiosn in which I filled in the filed for MATERIAL.
When I produce a bill of material with the report generator, I select the proper project, than I select the 3D Parts Report Configuraion Settings as supplied by the program and then I select Project Data to have all the materials in the project.
When I look at the preview, I can't see any difference in the material field: when I used 10 meters of pipe using the AISI304 spec and 10 meters of pipe using the AISI316 spec, there is no sign of the 2 different materials. On the report there is a total of 20 meters pipe - material: AISI304.
I tried using 2 standard specs provided by Autodesk SS300 and SS900 with the same result.
Can somebody help me to resolve this problem ?

Three finalists will vie for a vacant spot on the Chandler Unified School District governing board in the next two weeks.
A spot was created when board member Rob Barney resigned mid-July after accepting a job out of state.
Nine candidates applied for the open position and three finalists have been selected: Jim Bishop, a 10-year resident of Chandler and a Southwest Airlines pilot; Karen Bredeson, a 13-year resident of Chandler and a vice president at M&I Bank; and Michael Morse, a seven-year resident of Chandler and vice president of international sales for an educational audio company.
They all will attend a mandatory workshop and orientation on Thursday evening. Maricopa County School Superintendent Don Covey will make the final decision about who will take the post. He is expected to announce the selection by the end of July, Chandler district spokesman Terry Locke said.
The new member is only guaranteed a short term spot, however. The position ends in December.
Since Barney turned in his resignation early enough, a two-year school board position was put on the November ballot, along with two four-year terms which are open. Current members Bob Rice and Annette Auxier have said they plan to seek re-election.
Whoever is appointed to the position would have to collect 400 signatures by Aug. 4 to be on the ballot and run for the position.

Medical Marijuana Update
It's been a quiet week on the medical marijuana front, perhaps a post-election lull. But there is news from California, Colorado, and Rhode Island. Let's get to it:
[image:1 align:right]California
On Tuesday, activists complained that California veterans were being denied pain medications over their medical marijuana use. California NORML reported that it is being contacted by veterans who are being told by their VA doctors that they must choose between their prescription pain medications and medical marijuana. The group reports "a spate of complaints" from Long Beach and Loma Linda after scheduling changes for some prescription drugs recently took effect. Those changes entail stricter reporting requirements for doctors, and that, among other factors, seems to have spurred the tightening up. Click on the title link for more details and a plan for action from Canorml and Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access.
On Tuesday, Colorado reported another $30 million month in medical marijuana sales. September sales were at $31.6 million, down slightly from August's $33.4 million. The all-time high was in February, when medical marijuana sales totaled $36 million. Recreational sales are also running about $30 million a month.
Rhode Island
On Wednesday, the ACLU filed a lawsuit over medical marijuana employment discrimination. The ACLU of Rhode Island has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a URI graduate student who was denied summer employment this year at a fabrics company because of her status as a registered medical marijuana user. The suit is on behalf of Christine Callaghan, a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design who is studying textiles and working towards a masters' degree in that field at URI. She has participated in the medical marijuana program for almost two years to deal with frequent, debilitating migraine headaches. She lost a pain internship offer with Darlington Fabrics after disclosing her medical condition and medical marijuana patient status. The lawsuit argues that failure to hire because of a potential employee's patient status is discriminatory under the state's Civil Rights Act.

This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories
Busy, busy. A crooked FBI agent is wreaking havoc with drug cases in DC, rip-off cops get busted in Chicago and Philly, an Alabama cop gets nailed for making a woman cook meth for him, and more. Let's get to it:
[image:1 align:left]In Washington, DC, a federal judge threw out 13 more tainted drug cases last Friday. US District Judge Reggie Walton dismissed 13 criminal indictments against defendants in major drug cases as a scandal around FBI agent Matthew Lowry, 33, continues to unravel. Lowry is accused of tampering with drugs, guns, and other evidence seized in the cases, but he has not yet been charged with any criminal offenses. A day earlier, prosecutors dropped charges against 10 other defendants, some of whom had been serving lengthy prison sentences.
In Chicago, a Cook County sheriff's deputy was arrested on drug corruption charges last Monday. He killed himself the next day. Officer Stanley Kogut apparently hanged himself at the Metropolitan Correctional Center where he was being held. He and his partner, Robert Vaughan, had been arrested in an FBI sting after they robbed an agent posing as a drug dealer of 70 pounds of marijuana.
In Salem, West Virginia, a Salem Correction Facility guard was arrested last Wednesday after she was caught bringing pills, powders, and paraphernalia into the jail. Guard Philomena Liberty got caught during a random pat down at the start of her shift. Officers found she had six different types of pills, a cardboard envelope containing a white powder, and drug paraphernalia. She denied that she intended to traffic the drugs, saying she was going to crush and snort them herself. She is charged with transporting drugs into a correctional facility.
In Philadelphia, a former Philadelphia police officer was arrested last Wednesday for allegedly ripping off drug dealers and buyers along with three middlemen. Christopher Saravello is accused of using the middlemen to buy or sell drugs to others and then providing him with information on their locations. Saravello would then show up in uniform in his police vehicle, pretend to lock up his middlemen, and then let the buyers and dealers go, but only after stealing their cash and drugs. Saravello had resigned from the department in 2012, as it prepared to fire him for being strung out on prescription drugs.
In Mt. Vernon, New York, a former Mt. Vernon police officer was arrested Monday for illegally obtaining nearly 4,000 hydrocodone pills. Joseph Russo used forged prescriptions in his and his wife's name to obtain the pills. He also filed fake insurance claims to pay for the prescriptions. He is charged with second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and first degree scheming to defraud, but, oddly enough, not drug possession.
In Colchester, Vermont, a Colchester police detective was arrested Tuesday after a gun that was supposed to be in the department's evidence room turned up at a house in a Burlington drug raid. Corporal Tyler Kinney, 38, is now accused of taking drugs and the gun from the evidence room. He was expected to be charged in federal court today with drug distribution and gun trafficking offenses. The Colchester Police say they have now ordered an external audit of the evidence room and procedures for handling evidence.
In Birmingham, Alabama, a former Winston County sheriff's deputy pleaded guilty Monday to federal charges that he forced a woman to cook meth for him. Grady Concord, 42, had been hit with a single count of meth manufacture in June, but prosecutors added new counts of extortion under color of law, meth manufacture, and meth distribution where children are present. The woman said Concord threatened her with arrest if she didn't cook for him and provided pseudoephedrine tablets for her. Some of them were stolen from the department evidence room. Concord copped to the three later counts Monday and is looking at up to 20 years in prison at sentencing.
Chronicle AM: AR Marijuana Init, Nadelmann TED Talk, Colombia MedMJ, Dutch Grower Crackdown, More (11/12/14)
An Arkansas legalization initiative moves forward, Massachusetts' new GOP governor-elect will oppose legalization, Ethan Nadelmann gives a sizzling TED Talk, Colombia moves toward approving medical marijuana, the Dutch move resolutely backward, and more. Let's get to it:
[image:1 align:right]Arkansas Attorney General Approves Legalization Initiative. A marijuana and hemp legalization constitutional amendment initiative sponsored by Arkansas CALM (Citizens' Alliance for the Legalization of Marijuana) has won ballot title approval by Attorney General Dustin McDaniel. The Secretary of State's office must still approve the Arkansas Hemp & Marijuana Amendment's petition wording instructions. The amendment would legalize the cultivation, production, distribution, sale, purchase, possession and use of the cannabis plant, prohibiting sale to anyone under the age of 21. It would let people to grow up to 36 plants.
For First Time, Colorado Monthly Recreational Pot Sales Don't Increase. Recreational marijuana sales totaled $31.6 million in September, down from $34.1 million in August, the first time month-over-month sales have not increased. It's not clear why this is, but some observers point to the time of year -- in between the state's summer tourism high season and its winter tourism high season.
Massachusetts' New Republican Governor Will Oppose Legalization. Incoming Republican Governor-elect Charlie Baker has pledged to "vigorously oppose" marijuana legalization in the Bay State. "I'm going to oppose that and I'm going to oppose that vigorously... with a lot of help from a lot of other people in the addiction community," he said in an interview. Massachusetts has already approved medical marijuana and pot decriminalization through the initiative process, and seven elections worth of successful nonbinding public policy questions suggest that Baker is out of touch with his constituents on the issue.
Michigan Appeals Court to Hear Challenge to Grand Rapids Decriminalization Ordinance. The appeals court will hear arguments Friday from Kent County prosecutor Bill Forsyth challenging the voter-approved 2012 decriminalization ordinance in Grand Rapids. He will argue that voters there cannot trump the state's marijuana law. Forsythe lost in district court, with the judge in the case ruling that the city's ordinance didn't make marijuana legal, but merely adapted a policy about how police should deal with it.
Wichita Decriminalization Initiative Qualifies for April Ballot. The Southcentral Kansas Peace and Justice Center reports that a municipal initiative to make marijuana and pot paraphernalia possession a citable offense with a $50 fine has qualified for the April ballot. An earlier effort was derailed by disallowed signatures, but activists this time concentrated on gathering signatures from people leaving the polls on election day -- and it worked.
Medical Marijuana
ACLU Files Rhode Island Lawsuit Over Medical Marijuana Discrimination. The ACLU of Rhode Island has filed a lawsuit today on behalf of a URI graduate student who was denied summer employment this year at a fabrics company because of her status as a registered medical marijuana user. The suit is on behalf of Christine Callaghan, a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design who is studying textiles and working towards a masters' degree in that field at URI.

She lost a paying internship offer with Darlington Fabrics after disclosing her medical condition and medical marijuana patient status. The lawsuit argues that failure to hire because of a potential employee's patient status is discriminatory under the state's Civil Rights Act.
Drug Policy
Ethan Nadelmann TED Talk on Why We Need to End the War on Drugs. Drug Policy Alliance executive director Ethan Nadelmann has given a fiery and visionary TED talk in Rio de Janiero analyzing US drug policy and how society can more effectively and humanely deal with drugs. "The reason some drugs are legal and others are not has nothing to do with science or health or the risk of drugs, and everything to do with who uses, and is perceived to use, certain drugs," he said in the talk. "If the principal smokers of cocaine were affluent older white men and the principal users of Viagra were young black men, using Viagra would land you time behind bars." The speech was made last month, but was just made available today. Click on the TED talk link to hear the whole thing.
Colombia Senate Panel Approves Medical Marijuana Bill. The Senate's First Commission Tuesday approved a medical marijuana bill on a 13-2 vote. The bill authored by Sen. Juan Manuel Galan would allow the use of marijuana by people suffering from terminal illness or chronic painful conditions, including cancer and AIDS. It was amended during debate to clarify that marijuana-containing medications could not be imported into the country. The bill has the support of Health Minister Alejandro Gaviria.
Dutch Crack Down on Illegal Marijuana Grows, Suppliers. Anyone involved in the illegal production of marijuana is subject to up to three years in prison under a proposal from Justice Minister Opstelten that has been approved by the Senate. The new measure will go into effect on March 1. Under this new law, not only growers, but also grow shops, landlords, electricians who install illegal grow equipment, financiers, and anyone else involved in the illegal grows can be punished. Where the country's famous cannabis coffee shops are supposed to get their product will now be even more of a mystery.

The fallout from last week's legalization votes begins, California veterans are reporting medical marijuana problems with the VA, doctors are billing Medicare for largely needless senior drug testing, and more. Let's get to it:
[image:1 align:left caption:true]Marijuana Policy
No More Pot Prosecutions in Portland. That didn't take long. Less than a week after Oregon voters approved the Measure 91 legalization initiative, prosecutors in Multnomah County (Portland) announced Monday that they will dismiss all pending violation-level marijuana possession cases and won't bother to prosecute any future ones. "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," said a statement from Multnomah County DA Rode Underhill. "Any remaining charges not impacted by Ballot Measure 91 will be prosecuted." Prosecutors in other Oregon counties are still figuring out how to respond.
Alaska Legislator Getting to Work on Legal Marijuana Draft Regulations. That didn't take long, either. Less than a week after Alaska voters approved the Measure 2 legalization initiative, Rep. Bob Lynn (R-Anchorage) said Monday he plans to file legislation in January that would restrict pot shops within a certain distance of schools and public parks, limit advertising, and bar people with felonies from working in the industry. Lynn said he expects his proposals to attract plenty of discussion among lawmakers.
Opposition Coalition Forms in Vermont. A coalition to oppose marijuana legalization in the Green Mountain State has announced itself. SMART VT calls itself a "grassroots coalition" of "concerned Vermonters" and is now calling on Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) to not take up legalization this legislative session. Too late, though: A public hearing on legalization is set for Wednesday. Click the last link for hearing details.
Medical Marijuana
US Veterans Denied Pain Medications Over Medical Marijuana Use. California NORML is reporting that it is being contacted by veterans who are being told by their VA doctors that they must choose between their prescription pain medications and medical marijuana. The group reports "a spate of complaints" from Long Beach and Loma Linda after scheduling changes for some prescription drugs recently took effect. Those changes entail stricter reporting requirements for doctors, and that, among other factors, seems to have spurred the tightening up. Click on the title link for more details and a plan for action from CANORML and Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access. Happy Veterans Day!
Drug Testing
Pain Docs Getting Rich Doing Useless Drug Tests on Seniors, Taxpayers Pick Up the Tab. In an expensive side-effect of the "war" on pain pill addiction, pain specialists are now ordering costly testing of seniors for recreational drug use, and Medicare is stuck footing the bill. The doctors are also responding to a Medicare crackdown on abusive billing for simple urine drug screens by moving to high-tech testing methods for which billing is not limited. Now, doctors are testing for a number of different drugs -- including illegal ones rarely used by seniors, such as cocaine, ecstasy, and PCP -- and raking in the tax dollars. Medicare spending on drug testing has increased an incredible 1,423% since 2007 to $445 million in 2012. That included $14 million for testing seniors for PCP, for which one lab director with 25 years in the business told The Wall Street Journal she had never seen a positive test result in people over 65. The comprehensive article is worth the read; click on the link to get it.
Montreal Gets First Medical Marijuana Clinic. Montreal's first medical marijuana clinic is opening today. Sante Cannabis does not sell medical marijuana, but its doctors and staff guide patients on how to use marijuana, proper strains to use, and determine whether to smoke, vape, or use edibles. The city has had dispensaries or "compassion centers" for years, but Sante Cannabis is the first medical marijuana business to have doctors on staff.
British Lib Dem Leader, Former Colombian President Team Up to Fight for Drug Reform. Liberal Democratic party leader and British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos have agreed to work together to help forge an alliance between European and Latin American countries aiming to reform global drug prohibition. They are taking aim at the UN General Assembly Special Session on Drugs set for 2016.

Nevada 2016 Legalization Initiative Ready to Hand in Signatures. The Nevada Coalition to Regulate Marijuana says it will turn in 170,000 signatures Wednesday for its proposed 2016 initiative to legalize marijuana. It needs 102,000 valid voter signatures to qualify for the ballot. This is a Marijuana Policy Project effort.
Oregon Prosecutors to Rethink Pending Pot Cases. Although marijuana possession won't be legal in the state until July 2015, prosecutors in some of its most populous counties say they will revisit pending marijuana cases in light of last week's legalization victory at the polls. DAs in Clackamas (Oregon City), Multnomah (Portland), and Washington (Hillsboro) counties all said they are trying to figure out how to proceed.
Rhode Island Activists Aim to Legalize It in 2015. Which will be the first Northeastern state to legalize marijuana? Rhode Island activists organized into Regulate Rhode Island want their state to be the one. They are putting together a coalition to try to push a bill to tax and regulate marijuana through the General Assembly next year. The bill died in the legislature this year. This is a Marijuana Policy Project effort.
NYPD to Stop Arrests for Minor Marijuana Offenses. The NYPD and Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) announced today that the department will quit arresting people for low-level marijuana possession. NYPD has been arresting tens of thousands of people each year, but in the face of withering criticism, it will now begin issuing tickets instead. But people caught smoking pot in public will continue to face arrest.
Drug Testing
Wisconsin Governor Calls for Drug Testing for Unemployment, Food Stamps. Newly reelected Republican Gov. Scott Walker is calling drug testing of people seeking public benefits, including unemployment insurance. He and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) both say it will be a priority in the coming legislative session. Walker and Vos haven't unveiled an actual proposal, but any bill that calls for mandatory, suspicionless drug testing is certain to face constitutional challenges.
Law Enforcement
Pot Arrests Drop, But Still 1.5 Million Drug Arrests Last Year. More than 1.5 million people were arrested for drug offenses in the US last year, and more than 693,000 of those for marijuana offenses. The figures come from the FBI's 2013 Uniform Crime Report, which was released today. Marijuana arrests have declined from peaks early in this century. In 2008, there were a record 872,000 marijuana arrests, so pot busts have declined by slightly more than 20% since then. But arrests for other drug offenses continue apace, actually increasingly slightly last year. Still, because of the decline in marijuana arrests, the overall number of drug arrests dropped by about 50,000.
ACLU Gets $50 Million to Fight to Reduce Incarceration. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has been awarded a $50 million grant from George Soros's Open Society Foundations to mount an eight-year campaign to change criminal justice policies and reduce incarceration in this country. The group says there is an emerging bipartisan consensus to make reforms, although last week's election results may stiffen opposition. The ACLU wants to reduce imprisonment by 50% in the next years.
Missing Mexican Students Were Murdered By Drug Gang, Officials Say. Mexican Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said last Friday that 43 radical student teachers missing for more than a month in Iguala, Guerrero, had been murdered by a drug gang working with the wife of the mayor of the city. Murillo said the students were killed and their bodies burned, with the remains scattered in a local river. The announcement of the students' fate has not, however, quieted outrage in the country, where corruption and impunity are major issues. Demonstrators torched the wooden front doors of the National Palace in Mexico City Saturday night and were blocking the Acapulco airport Monday, among other actions.
Former Chilean President Calls for Drug Decriminalization. In an interview last Friday, former President Ricardo Lagos said decriminalizing marijuana -- and possibly even cocaine -- possession was the best way to reduce both prohibition-related crime and drug use. Start with marijuana, he said. "After one or two years we will see if we dare to legalize cocaine. It starts with a major prevention campaign and with providing non-prison punishment for those who are incarcerated today, depending on the magnitude of their offenses," Lagos proposed. "The only thing that's clear to me is that there were 10,000 drug arrests per year in Chile in 2002 and 10 years later it's multiplying by eight, reaching 82,000. Chile needs to grow up," he said. Lagos was president of the country from 2000 to 2006.
In Historic Move, British Parliament to Debate Drug Policy. The House of Commons will debate Britain's drug policies for three hours this coming Thursday. It is the first time Parliament has taken up the topic since passage of the Misuse of Drugs Act -- the current law -- four decades ago. The debate comes as Britain's governing coalition has been sundered on the issue, with the junior partner Liberal Democrats coming out loudly for drug decriminalization and the senior partner Conservatives firmly holding the line against any reforms.
Australia's New South Wales Wants Random Drug Testing of Drivers. The New South Wales state government has introduced a bill that would allow police to randomly drug test drivers for the presence of marijuana, amphetamines, and ecstasy. The tests would be done with a saliva swab.
Marijuana Arrests Drop, But Still 1.5 Million Drug Arrests Last Year [FEATURE]
More than 1.5 million people were arrested for drug offenses in the US last year, and more than 693,000 of those for marijuana offenses. The figures come from the FBI's 2013 Uniform Crime Report, which was released today.
[image:1 align:left caption:true]That's about one pot bust and slightly more than one other drug arrest every minute, 365 days a year. The vast majority of them are for simple possession. Over 87% of all marijuana arrests and 82% of all drug arrests were for possession only.
Marijuana arrests have declined from peaks early in this century. In 2008, there were a record 872,000 marijuana arrests, so pot busts have declined by slightly more than 20% since then. But arrests for other drug offenses continue apace, actually increasingly slightly last year. Still, because of the decline in marijuana arrests, the overall number of drug arrests dropped by about 50,000.
In 2008, marijuana arrests accounted for a majority (52%) of all drug arrests. Now, it is down to 40.6%.
Some of the decline in marijuana arrests can be attributed to the passage of decriminalization and legalization laws, particularly in the West, where pot arrests accounted for only 18% of all drug arrests. California decriminalized pot possession in 2011, and Colorado and Washington legalized it in the 2012 elections.
[image:2 align:right caption:true]In other parts of the country, marijuana arrests continued to roll along, even in the Northeast, where they accounted for 46% of all drug arrests. In the South, the figure was 49.8%, and in the Midwest, pot accounted for 51.7% of all drug arrests.
When it comes to race, blacks continue to be disproportionately represented among drug arrestees. African-Americans accounted for 30.7% of all drug arrests, but they only make up about 13% of the population. That means blacks are being arrested for drugs at 2 ½ times the rate their percentage of the population would predict.
Drug arrests were the single largest category of arrests made in the US and accounted for about 13% of all arrests. The 1.5 million drug arrests well exceeded second place larceny-theft (1.232 million) and third place driving under the influence (1.167 million). More than three times as many people were arrested for drug offenses than for all violent crimes combined (480,000).
The continued law enforcement emphasis on drug enforcement drew criticism from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP).
[image:3 align:left caption:true]"Police made more drug arrests than for any other single category of crime. Meanwhile, only 64% of murders and 48% of violent crimes generally are being solved," said LEAP executive director Major Neill Franklin (Ret.), citing the FBI statistics. "We clearly have our priorities in the wrong place."
The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), fresh from last week's successful "marijuana midterms," pronounced itself pleased with the decline in pot busts, but called for them to end, not just diminish.
"We're pleased to see the drop, but arresting even one adult for using a substance that is objectively less harmful than alcohol is inexcusable," said MPP communications director Mason Tvert. "Every year we see millions of violent crimes attributed to alcohol, and the evidence is clear that marijuana is not a significant contributing factor in such incidents. Yet our laws continue to steer adults toward drinking by threatening to punish them if they make the safer choice. These arrest numbers demonstrate that the threat is very real," he noted.
Tvert also echoed LEAP in criticizing law enforcement priorities.
"Law enforcement officials should be spending their time and resources addressing serious crimes, not arresting and prosecuting adults for using marijuana," he said. "Every year, these statistics show hundreds of thousands of marijuana-related arrests are taking place and countless violent crimes are going unsolved. We have to wonder how many of those crimes could be solved -- or prevented -- if police weren't wasting their time enforcing failed marijuana prohibition laws."
The laws must change, he said.
"A majority of Americans think marijuana should be legal for adults and treated similarly to alcohol. Voters in four states and the District of Columbia have now passed laws that reflect that, and we expect several more will do over the next few years. It's time for our laws to catch up with public opinion."

Sideline Chatter: Norton was a contender when there were really contenders
Wladimir Klitschko's list of victories not all that impressive
The Seattle Times
Crack open another case of tomato cans!
"The late, great Ken Norton fought Muhammad Ali three times and was also in the ring with Larry Holmes, George Foreman, Jimmy Ellis, Jerry Quarry, Earnie Shavers and Gerry Cooney," wrote Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun. "Wladimir Klitschko's last six title defences: Alex Povetkin, Francesco Pianeta, Marius Wach, Tony Thompson, Jean Marc Mormeck and David Haye.
"And you wonder why boxing, aside from the money man, Floyd Mayweather, is all but extinct?"

• At TheOnion.com: "Jim Schwartz allowed to coach despite exhibiting concussion-like symptoms."
Low on the hog
A study published in Psychological Science revealed that NFL fans tend to eat more fatty foods when their favorite team disappoints them.
At this rate, local officials fear greater Jacksonville will be out of bacon by November.
Penalty on the play
Brigham Young suspended star linebacker Spencer Hadley for five games — apparently after a fan of rival Utah texted an incriminating photo from a party in Las Vegas.
The PGA Tour, just out of habit, also assessed him a two-stroke penalty.
Diaper dandies
Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer has been answering letters from parents of 2-year-olds, written on behalf of their potential future as Buckeyes.

• Carl Steward of the Oakland Tribune, on the Dodgers' celebratory dive in the Chase Field pool: "It's a good thing the Dodgers didn't clinch the National League West in San Francisco. That water in McCovey Cove is really cold."
• Greg Cote of The Miami Herald, after the Dodgers and Red Sox became the first to clinch playoff berths: "But that was one day after the Marlins clinched last place in the NL East again. So we did beat 'em at that!"
• Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman, to reporters, after 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick said the Seahawks "get away with a lot of things on defense": "We got away with three picks, two fumbles, five turnovers. We got away with a 29-3 victory, it looked like."
Lawn arm of the law
A 55-year-old man was charged with DUI after police in Murrysville, Pa., pulled him over at 1:30 a.m. — while driving a riding mower.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A green chile crisis has been averted.
The University of New Mexico said Wednesday that The Pit, home of the school's men's and women's basketball teams, will serve green chile after all.
Assistant Athletic Director Frank Mercogliano told The Associated Press that stadium officials were able to receive another shipment of green chile not affected by a current recall.
The stadium had announced on social media Tuesday that a major recall is forcing officials to pull all green chile for the rest of the season.
A family-owned food company in Albuquerque said earlier this month a voluntarily recall of its frozen non-ready-to-eat green chile products. Bueno Foods say the products have the potential to contain low levels of the common bacteria Listeria monocytogenes in its uncooked state.
