State could be test case in marijuana legalization
How would the federal government respond if Washington voters pass Initiative 502 and legalize recreational marijuana sales. Arrests of state-licensed marijuana growers? A big legal fight in federal court? Or would the feds leave the state alone?
Seattle Times staff reporter
Initiative 502
Marijuana legalization and regulation
Timeline: December 2012: marijuana possession (one ounce of dried form, 72 ounces of liquid, 1 pound of solid form) is decriminalized. Drunken-driving laws amended to treat 0.5 nanograms of active THC like .08 blood-alcohol level.
December 2013: After year of review, Washington State Liquor Control Board begins issuing marijuana grower, food processor and retailer licenses.
December 2014: new marijuana law can be amended by state Legislature.
Marijuana stores: Retailers must pass criminal-background check, pay $1,000 and have no financial interest in state-licensed growers. Stores must be 1,000 feet from schools, playgrounds, libraries, game arcades and recreation, transit and child-care centers. Number of stores is set by liquor board, but state analysis assumes 328, equal to previous state liquor stores.
Marijuana growers: Producer license of $1,000 requires marijuana be sent to third-party testing lab for quality standards set by liquor board. State analysis assumes 3 million plants needed, grown by 100 producers.
In the waning days of a campaign to legalize marijuana in California two years ago, all nine ex-directors of the Drug Enforcement Administration simultaneously urged Obama officials to come out in strong opposition.
The pressure worked: Attorney General Eric Holder declared his office would "vigorously enforce" the federal ban on marijuana "even if such activities are permitted under state law."
Whether that was a real threat or just posturing is unclear: California voters rejected Proposition 19.
The test case instead could be Washington, where voters on Nov. 6 will decide whether to directly confront the federal ban on marijuana and embrace a sprawling plan to legalize, regulate and tax sales at state-licensed pot stores.
Speculation on the potential federal blowback is rife.
Would the Obama administration pick a legal fight over states' rights to try to block Initiative 502? Would federal prosecutors charge marijuana growers and retailers, even if they are authorized by state law?
Or would — as some opponents and supporters predict — federal authorities denounce the law but largely leave Washington alone?
The Justice Department won't say. But legal and drug-policy experts, asked recently to speculate, say any federal response is likely to be dictated as much by politics as by law.
Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes, an I-502 supporter who talks frequently with federal authorities, thinks the Justice Department would back off after "a long, intense, fairly high-level conversation" with campaign and state officials.
"In the end, I think the feds will go with the will of the voters," said Holmes.
"Whole new ballgame"
Since the legalization movement took hold in the 1970s, at least 11 states — most recently, Rhode Island in 2012 — and several large cities have stripped criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana, usually making it an infraction akin to a ticket.
Full legalization has been proposed and rejected by voters in Alaska, California and Nevada, and is on the ballot this November in Colorado and Oregon.
I-502 is the most comprehensive proposal yet. It legalizes one ounce of marijuana for people 21 and older, and creates a seed-to-store, closed, state-regulated monopoly estimated to raise more than $560 million in new taxes.
Details would emerge in a yearlong process at the Liquor Control Board, but a state fiscal analysis estimates I-502 would result in as many state pot stores — 328 — as there were state liquor stores, with 363,000 customers consuming 85 metric tons of pot, all of which would have to be grown in Washington state.
That would be a "whole new ballgame" demanding federal action, said Kevin Sabet, a former senior drug-policy adviser in the Obama administration. He predicts the federal funding that requires a drug-free workplace could be endangered, as could federal highway and law-enforcement grants.
"These are the options that would be on the table," said Sabet, an opponent of I-502. "The idea that a state can collect funds, collect taxes off an illegal activity — I can't imagine that would be allowed."
Federal criminal prosecution of users, growers or sellers also would be an option. A 2005 U.S. Supreme Court case, Gonzales v. Raich, upheld the power of federal agents to arrest and prosecute medical-marijuana patients, in part because that pot could cross state lines.
An attorney in that case, Georgetown law professor Randy Barnett, said the legal arguments would be "even more forceful for recreational marijuana."
"Washington state is its own boss under criminal law, but what they say doesn't affect the federal government's authority to enact the Controlled Substances Act," Barnett said.
It's unclear, however, whether it would use that power. The DEA views all medical-marijuana dispensaries as illegal but has selectively enforced federal law. Last month, the agency sent cease-and-desist letters to about 26 of the estimated 150 dispensaries in the Seattle area, citing their proximity to schools. Most dispensaries, however, stay in business.
Should I-502 pass, arrests may have to wait until December 2013. By then, the state Liquor Control Board would begin issuing grower, processor and retailer licenses — and federal law would be violated on an industrial scale.
"Supreme law of the land"
By then, I-502 may already have its day in federal court.
One of the most-discussed possibilities is for federal prosecutors to seek an injunction blocking Initiative 502, based on Article 6 of the Constitution, which makes federal law "the supreme law of the land," pre-empting state laws when they conflict.
In a "pre-emption" challenge, federal lawyers could contend I-502 actively requires someone to break federal law. Such a challenge, for example, could hinge on requirements for the state to issue marijuana grower and retailer licenses, and to collect marijuana taxes.
Based on that theory, the Arizona attorney general, the Oregon Supreme Court and a California appeals court recently ruled that federal law partially pre-empted medical-marijuana laws in those states.
But University of Chicago constitutional law professor Aziz Huq said the history of pre-emption cases were "messy" and full of "internal contradiction." At times, the U.S. Supreme Court has been reluctant to toss state laws, he said, even when they conflict with federal drug laws, such as Oregon's assisted-suicide law.
"The bottom line is, the feds still could come in and bust marijuana shops, but the arguments to pre-empt (Washington state) law are weak," Huq said.
John McKay, the former U.S. Attorney who filed I-502, said he thinks the measure would survive a pre-emption challenge but hopes Congress, faced with a rebellion among states over marijuana law, would allow states to "opt out" of criminal prosecution in favor of strict regulation.
U.S. Attorney for Seattle, Jenny Durkan, declined to be interviewed, but sounded skeptical in an interview last year. "Every lawyer that I have talked to, including those who support the initiative, think that it will be pre-empted by federal law," she told The Associated Press.
Attorney Douglas Hiatt, a marijuana-legalization advocate who opposes I-502, agrees. "I think the feds would be in and out of court in 10 minutes. It's clearly in conflict with federal law," he said.
Both candidates for state attorney general — Democrat Bob Ferguson and Republican Reagan Dunn — oppose I-502, but say they would defend it if the state were sued.
Such a legal fight, however, itself would be good for marijuana advocates, said Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the legalization group NORML and an I-502 supporter.
"Usually we do not have the support of the elites, so the dissidents — NORML, the ACLU or other activists — have to go into courts alone," said St. Pierre. "This time, we could have Mr. McKay or the (state) attorney general representing us in a federal court. And that is why that dynamic — I-502 — is, to this activist, a ... dream."
Politicals "running for cover"
Earlier this month, the group of ex-DEA directors who opposed California's Proposition 19 spoke out again, urging the Obama administration to oppose I-502 and legalization measures in Oregon and California.
There has been no response thus far, and Gen. Barry McCaffrey, retired, who was drug czar in the Clinton administration, wonders if there will be one. He laments a "vacuum of leadership" in opposing "state laws that normalize marijuana use."
I-502, he predicted, would be a nightmare for employers with zero-tolerance policies and would exacerbate the state's "huge, chronic addiction problem."
Despite those problems, "politicians are running for cover" on marijuana, said McCaffrey, who recently registered to vote in Washington state and plans to vote against I-502.
"I don't think they want to say a word (before the election) because they'll lose votes, whichever way they go on it," McCaffrey said. "Once the election is over, I don't think any politician right now wants to be known centrally as being engaged in this issue."
Stewart Jay, an I-502 supporter and University of Washington law professor, agrees. "I'm very skeptical that this is something the federal government will want to spend its law-enforcement priorities on," especially if Obama wins re-election, Jay said.
"But it's anybody's guess, really."

Highlight Reel: Well done, Jeremy Pargo
I once had a play like this. Sadly, I wasn't the one crossing over and dunking. Dunking wasn't exactly what one would call my specialty. At only 6'2″, I embody the "white men can't jump theory." Instead, I was the one harmlessly falling onto the ground while a highlight was being made. I can still remember trying to play it off like the floor was slippery. Borrowing a towel from the bench, I pretended to wipe the area dry. Of course, it was already dry. I was just the victim of severely broken ankles.

text: i've been on hydrocodone for about 5 years. i was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago, which started the prescription. i had to go through chemo and radiation and the chemo kinda destroyed my body and put me in a lot of pain. after all of it was said and done, the pain was still there. my energy level dropped and caused a laundry list of physical problems for me....even 5 years later. i only take two 10mg a day. i don't abuse them but i feel like the fact that i've continued to take for this long it has caused more problems for me than its helped. i still have problems with my energy. i have a very physically demanding job and most days i feel like gravity is just pushing me down and i have to use all the energy i have just to drive home or my body will hurt so bad i can barely walk. the hydrocodone are the only thing that seems to keep me going. it not only helps with muscle and joint pain but it also gives me that boost of energy to keep going. i've talked with my family dr about it and he informed me that since i first started taking them the laws for the dr's to prescribe them are getting even more strict. i guess they are trying to eventually do away with them. i'll be moving a couple hours away from where i live now in a few months. i'm scared its going to be a struggle just to find a dr who A. doesn't have a problem with prescribing them and B. even thinks that i need them. i'm not seriously injured or have major physical problems to need them. the only reason i take them is to get through the day, not to get high. but i'm scared to get off of them. ive read a lot about suboxone and i don't think its right for me. i feel its only replacing one addiction for another more expensive drug. i've also heard that they're extremely hard to cut back on. i'm scared of going through withdrawls. i'm scared that i've been on them for so long that its changed the chemicals in my brain and if i quit taking them i'll either be a different person or not even be able to do anything anymore because of pain. i'm thinking about going to a pain management dr and talking with him about my issues. i hope that's the right place to start. i don't really even have a question. maybe someone has gone through the same thing i have and can give me some piece of mind.

Solid is one of the four fundamental states of matter. It is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to changes of shape or volume. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire volume available to it like a gas does. The atoms in a solid are tightly bound to each other, either in a regular geometric lattice or irregularly. The branch of physics that deals with solids is called solid-state physics, and is the main branch of condensed matter physics. Materials science is primarily concerned with the physical and chemical properties of solids. Solid-state chemistry is especially concerned with the synthesis of novel materials, as well as the science of identification and chemical composition.

Animal Rescue Now A Top Priority For The LAPDWritten by Bail Expert on December 22, 2013 – 5:36 am -
Members of the Los Angeles Police Department have long worked to protect and serve residents of the city, but they've recently expanded those efforts to include their fuzzy, four-legged companions.
The LAPD envisions the City of Angels as becoming more compassionate, and in order to achieve that, they are making sure that all those who live within its borders, including pets, are kept safe from harm.
In the past 12 months, officers have saved an abused donkey, rescued a kitten that was running through traffic and even helped Read more »
Inmate Realignment Expected To Cost The LAPD $18 MillionWritten by Bail Expert on August 21, 2013 – 5:56 am -
California's controversial inmate realignment program, which is transferring non-violent, non-serious, non-sexual offenders from state prisoners to the county level, is projected to cost the LAPD about $18 million dollars in the upcoming fiscal year.
Sources within the department say this is due to their needing to shift people from patrol duties and reassigning them to keep an eye on ex-convicts. More than 160 officers have be reassigned since the realignment was implemented in Oct. 2011.
Prior to that, state parole officers were responsible for monitoring ex-convicts who had been released from prison. Now, that responsibility has fallen to the local level. The City's Public Safety Committee estimates that $18 million will be needed to Read more »
LAPD Reports Drop In CrimeWritten by Bail Expert on April 9, 2013 – 6:59 am -
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department has reported the city has experienced a marked drop in crime. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said statistics like these are why the next mayor and freshman class of the city council need to keep LAPD hiring and retention a top priority.
There are two main contenders in the current mayoral race. Neither candidate has presented a clear plan as to how to keep departmental staffing at current levels. Villaraigosa has long supported hiring efforts that keep the force at 10,000 officers. Others have said they'd like to do even better than that, and have said adding 2,000 more could be beneficial.
The current mayor believes that Los Angeles is among the nation's most under-policed large-sized cities. Keeping the LAPD fully staffed needs to be a priority in order to involve a spike in crime.
Chief Charlie Beck has confirmed that crime rates have fallen across all categories since Read more »

Suspected Kidnapper Named By LAPDWritten by Bail Expert on April 2, 2013 – 7:29 am -
Members of the Los Angeles Police Department have named a 30-year old as the suspected kidnapper of a 10 year-old girl. The victim was abducted about a week ago and was found in Woodland Hills shortly thereafter.
The suspect is believed to be Tobias Summers. Summers was named as a person of interest by LAPD Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese during a press conference last weekend. Police officials say the suspect is a long-time criminal with a record that dates back nearly 11 years. Jail officials have confirmed that his most recent sentence was ended early due to overcrowded conditions brought on by the state's prisoner realignment. He is described as being approximately 6 feet tall. A recent photo shows he has blonde hair and blue eyes. Police have said he is not a convicted sex offender.

LAPD To Begin Accepting Police Reports OnlineWritten by Bail Expert on March 23, 2013 – 7:59 am -
The Los Angeles City Council has unanimously approved a measure that will require the LAPD begin accepting online police reports. In order to implement the order the department will need to develop a system which will enable residents to report minor incidents via the Internet.
It has long been said the LAPD needs to modernize their website. At the current time it offers an abundance of information such as crime mapping, how to submit anonymous tips and other points relating to safety. The one thing it reportedly lacks is the ability to fill out online incident reports. Proponents of the plan point out that changing that will potentially save millions of dollars. The single largest administrative task for department members involves taking calls from residents who need to file reports. This could potentially mean the LAPD may be able to better allocate internal resources to other important tasks. It will also streamline the process for the public.
Online reporting will focus on Read more »
LAPD Adds Tractor To Its FleetWritten by Bail Expert on February 1, 2013 – 5:03 am -
The Los Angeles Police Department has said they will use a recent $30,000 donation to add a tractor to its vehicle fleet. The tractor will be an odd addition to the department's current vehicular inventory which includes patrol cars, boats, helicopters, mobile command trucks and motorcycles.
Some might consider the addition of a piece of farm equipment to be an unusual selection for the LAPD. A spokesperson for the department points out the tractor will not be used to patrol city streets. It will instead be utilized to maintain topsoil on the two acre area in which LAPD Mounted Platoon horses are trained.
At the current time the department has about 30 horses that reside in an area just east of Griffith Park and Interstate 5.
Lt. Tony Lomedico said the tractor is needed to Read more »
LAPD Plans Black Friday CrackdownWritten by Bail Expert on November 23, 2012 – 10:44 am -
Members of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) have said they intend to crackdown on Black Friday shoppers who choose to behave badly.
The day after Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year. Also known as the kick-off to the holiday shopping season, Black Friday offers numerous sales and deep discounts on hot ticket items. Many items sell out quickly and in past years, this has caused unfortunate shopping incidents throughout the United States.

LAPD Offers Holiday Safety TipsWritten by Bail Expert on November 22, 2012 – 1:00 pm -
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has offered up the following tips to ensure residents and visitors are able to enjoy a happy and safe holiday shopping season.
First and foremost the LAPD is reported to be recommending that people be mindful about locking their cars, trucks and SUV's when they are visiting malls and shopping centers. If your vehicle contains valuables they should be stowed out of sight if not locked in the trunk. The glove box, beneath seats and other vehicular compartments are among the recommended hiding places. Those who leave items of value in plain sight are far more likely to become victims of crime.
Hot ticket electronics items such as GPS and GPS Read more »
Los Angeles Police Department Announces DUI CampaignWritten by Bail Expert on August 18, 2012 – 7:55 am -
The Los Angeles Police Department today announced they will be cracking down on DUIs between Aug. 17 and the end of Labor Day Weekend.
Checkpoints and patrols will take place throughout the county as part of a statewide "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" initiative. The number of DUIs increase markedly during the summer months, said a Los Angeles Police Department Spokesperson. This also leads to a spike in accidents resulting in death or injury.
Officers warn they will be in "aggressive pursuit" of drivers who nay be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. DUI arrests can lead to the revocation of a person's drivers license, fines, penalties, and increases on auto insurance premiums.
Reportedly, the Los Angeles Police Department will holding DUI patrols in on the following dates and locations: Read more »
LAPD Says Crime Rates Are Lower Than Other Big CitiesWritten by Bail Expert on July 15, 2012 – 4:50 am -
The Los Angeles Police Department is happy to announce crime rates are continuing to decline.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck held a press conference alongside Mayor Antonio Villariagosa earlier this week, referencing Los Angeles as being the safest city in America. According to a recent report by the Los Angeles Times, violent crime has dropped approximately 9% from the same reporting time in 2011. Homicides remain on par, but continue to remain consistent with levels reported in 2010. A Department spokesperson pointed out that this may be the third year in a row where LA has less than 300 killings. The Times notes this is four times less than a peak seen in the late 1990s.
Beck said aggravated assault, rape. robbery and gang crime have also declined.
Property crime, however, seems to be on the rise. Although Read more »

24-hour urine protein
24-hour urine protein measures the amount of protein excreted in urine over a 24-hour period.
See also: Bence-Jones protein test
Alternative Names
Urine protein - 24 hour
How the Test is Performed
A 24-hour urine sample is needed.
- On day 1, urinate into the toilet when you get up in the morning.
- Afterwards, collect all urine in a special container for the next 24 hours.
- On day 2, urinate into the container when you get up in the morning.
- Cap the container. Keep it in the refrigerator or a cool place during the collection period.
- Label the container with your name, the date, the time of completion, and return it as instructed.
For an infant, thoroughly wash the area around the urethra. Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end), and place it on the infant. For males, place the entire penis in the bag and attach the adhesive to the skin. For females, place the bag over the labia. Diaper as usual over the secured bag.
This procedure may take a couple of attempts -- lively infants can move the bag, causing the urine to be absorbed by the diaper. The infant should be checked frequently and the bag changed after the infant has urinated into the bag. Drain the urine from the bag into the container provided by your health care provider.
Deliver it to the laboratory or your health care provider as soon as possible upon completion.
How to Prepare for the Test
Your health care provider will instruct you, if necessary, to stop taking any drugs that may interfere with the test results.
Drugs that may interfere with test results include:
- Acetaminophen
- Antibiotics
- Gentamicin
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
If the collection is being taken from an infant, a couple of extra collection bags may be needed.
How the Test Will Feel
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs or symptoms of glomerular disease, such as nephrotic syndrome, or another condition that affects kidney function.
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed include complicated UTI (pyelonephritis).
Normal Results
The normal value is less than 150 milligrams per day, or less than 10 milligrams per deciliter of urine.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Increased levels of urinary protein may be due to:
- Glomerulonephritis
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Microalbuminuria or other early signs of diabetic nephropathy
- Renal tubular diseases including pyelonephritis, Fanconi syndrome, cystinosis, and Wilson's disease
- Multiple myeloma
- Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia
- Some lymphomas
Healthy people may have higher than normal urine protein levels after strenuous exercise or with dehydration. Some foods may affect urine protein levels.
The test involves normal urination and there are no risks.
ConsiderationsSometimes, in order to avoid the inconvenience and possible inaccuracy of a 24-hour urine collection, your doctor may order a test done on a just one urine sample, called the protein-to-creatinine ratio.

Hart board incumbent hoping to sit for another term
As the W.S. Hart High School Board election nears, the two incumbents who currently hold the seats up for vote have announced their plans to run for re-election.
Gloria Mercado-Fortine is one of them, having held a spot on the Board for two non-consecutive terms so far.
Mercado-Fortine is an educational administrator.
According to her, dealing with the District's financial overruns is an important task that still needs to be completed.
Those very overruns recently made the District unable to complete several modernization projects at three local schools. Parents made a strong showing at recent Board meetings to protest the lack of funds that were promised for the projects. After some work, the Board was able to fix the problem, identifying funds to make the renovations a reality, beginning with the most critical repairs.
Another issue that Mercado-Fortine sees as imperative is building a High School in Castaic. "We made a commitment to the community to build a high school…a Castaic high school is a priority for me," said Mercado-Fortine. She went on to say that bringing a school to Castaic is not only fair, because the residents of Castaic have been paying for education, but it will help overcrowding issues, like the one that riddled the Board earlier this year.
In that instance, the Board had to decide what to do with the 400 incoming freshman that come from Castaic every year. West Ranch High School was playing host to those students, however the school is poised to suffer crippling overcrowding issues in the very near future, despite the fact that it is less than five years old. The Board drew much heat as they weighed various options including spending millions on portable classrooms for West Ranch High, or holding extra classes at Rancho Pico Jr. High located across the street from West Ranch. Eventually, the Board settled on a plan that will send the next two years' worth of freshmen to Valencia High, then the following two years' students to West Ranch. After that, a Castaic High School should be close to finishing.
Mercado-Fortine was the lone dissenting vote on that issue. She said that she did not embrace the plan because there were other options that would have not displaced Castaic students as much as the one that was adopted.
While the past terms have brought challenges, Mercado-Fortine she stressed that it also has brought much success. One such issue was diversity. Mercado-Fortine sat on the diversity committee and helped to determine new plans for addressing the evolving diversity in the Santa Clarita Valley. "The district certainly got into some real negative situations in term of what some people felt in various schools that they were being discriminated," Mercado-Fortine recalls. "So we came up with the diversity plan on how to address it, and how to make sure that all students felt safe, and felt respected and felt valued…so you know, I'm proud of that."
A major school bond was also passed by voters during Mercado-Fortine's run on the Board, which is touted as a big success.
Mercado-Fortine is the third candidate for the Hart School Board that KHTS has featured, a part of our ongoing candidate profiles ahead of the November elections. Check out the two other candidates: Joe Messina and Steve Sturgeon .

For those who wants to hear the Hoodoo album with a very good sound quality (best version ever) please check on youtube. A version posted by Arisingwind time 30.39 with some of the hiss and more removed.
Finally a good version after all those years. Very good album. Too bad the first song released was not Telephone or Hoodoo Man because the story of that album would have been different.
If it ever released I think the track list should be like this for a better rythym
Hoodoo Man
On The Run
Between the Lines
Leave My Woman Alone
You Got The Magic
Evil Thing
Marching to BlairneyJanuary 19, 2014 at 5:50 pm #2369
Vinyl MikeMember
Hoodoo is one of those albums that was quite simply "before its time". Great? No it wasn't and John knew it, nothing subpar for him. It had potential and some great songs. Quite honestly, and I have thought this for a while now but I wish he would rerecord it now in its entirety. John if you read this this is my request to see Hoodoo rerecorded. The art work is already done, use the original.January 19, 2014 at 7:48 pm #2371
Rockin' ManiacMember
I firmly believe that not releasing "Hoodoo" was the right thing to do. There were some very good tunes on that LP–Between the Lines, On the Run, and Telephone–but also some truly terrible tunes–Marching to Blarney, You've Got the Magic and Evil Thing. As we all know JF is a perfectionist when it comes to his music and "Hoodoo" was nowhere close to his level of artistry.January 20, 2014 at 12:22 pm #2374
It's funny to me that HOODOO never goes out of style. It's a bootleg – never officially released album, yet anyone who considers themselves a fan of Creedence will make the time to hear it for themselves.
Somebody always had a copy of it to share, because it was too good of an album to let lie silent.
Music this good will never go wasted….no hun. It won't go unheard.
Please give it a chance and listen to it the whole way through, and then you have the opportunity to fully express your own informed opinion about the album, that was NEVER RELEASED in 1974-ish? (I can't remember the facts, only the legend.)
Personally, I think it's very good. Maybe it's because it has this deep swampy, cat-tails swaying under the spanish moss type of vibe goin for it. It's pure Creedence, if you're askin' me, but I realize that nobody really is askin' me. ha ha. That's cool, friends!!!
I got "Between the Lines" playin now – off of Youtube.
Mmmmm! MMMMM!!!! MMMMmmmmmmMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm!
God, oh GOD!!! Why DO I LOVE that song so danged much???? Even though the track is murky and somewhat muddle-puddle on John's vocals, I can jump into it with both feet – 100 feet deep, in his deep bluesy sea – it's such a relatable tune to me.
Sigh *
And that, my swamp friends, is why I adore this HOODOO album.
It is just so down – home comforting to my soul.
x o x o x o
Fogerty tells us he was in a deep funk during the emerging release of this fine masterpiece of a product, and I feel some of his pain (fresh post CCR breakup)…..perhaps
this is why I love the album soooooooooooo much!!!!
I can't pretend to fully understand the motivation behind HOODOO, but I can only say,
LISTEN TO IT AS SOON AS YOU CAN….then and only then, will you being to understand….
God bless.January 20, 2014 at 6:22 pm #2381
Maybe this gentlemen from the record compagny (Mr. Smith) if I'm correct was expecting a Creedence album but it's a John Fogerty solo album produced by one person??
Just to be in the mood of the 70's I did a CD with my favorite one from Shep and Hoodoo and it goes like this. And if you try that you won't noticed a big difference with the recording quality with this new version of Hoodoo
. Rockin'all over the world

Almost saturday night

Travelin High what a great song love the sax . When John started the BMS tour I was able to talk with him when he was on the MARK and Brian radio show in Los Angeles. One thing I asked him was about the song Travelin High. I said John RAOTW and Almost Saturday night along with Travelin High are great records and I hope you play them on your tour. Well he played 2 out 3. Love the record I hope one day John records more piano and sax in his songs, God knows he a fantastic guitar player.

hi all
What a great thread this is…I think the "shep" album is one of johns finest albums…..the wall ,rockin all over the world ..dream song….almost Saturday night…just fab!!!!….and that voice….WOW!!!!….Hoodoo well john should rework this project in some way…not to far removed from the originals….between the lines …hoodoo man…on the run …classic john fogerty,….marching to blarney…not so good, sadly at the time I feel john fogerty couldn't work out just how good some of these songs were to the bad stuff, and that's why it probably got rejected.( we all know about johns problems at the time ) It would be interesting to know if john has these songs still in his music room, the majority of john fogerty fans want this album to be released…perhaps swamp girl you could ask john to make an updated comment on this body of work, as we are in 2014, I feel with john in such a positive mood now he might just see how great some of these songs are.
steve from England.January 27, 2014 at 7:52 am #2414
It would be fun to hear Telephone on the radio someday. I should ask my local radio station to do that MMMmmmm ??

There was not a bad song on Shep, a very strong album from start to finish. When the LP came out in '75 I really thought it was going to shoot JF back to the top. Still my favorite JF solo LP today.

At its core, Fellon-McCord wants what electric cooperatives want: the lowest possible energy prices for their consumers.
Fellon-McCord, a Platinum-level NRECA Associate Member based in Louisville, Kentucky, is an energy management firm that helps its clients mitigate the price and reliability fluctuations of energy sources like natural gas. The company got its start in the volatile days of energy deregulation in the early 1990s. Two decades later, in an equally unpredictable energy market, Fellon-McCord excels with a self-described strategy of "professional expertise with a personal touch."
Company President and CEO Andrew R. Fellon said Fellon-McCord currently works with numerous electric cooperatives, as well as their customers and suppliers, across the country. He added that co-ops, which make up about 30 percent of the company's energy management group business, have come to them for short-term project consulting as well as long-term management services.
"Fellon-McCord's relationship with the cooperative community began in 1993 with our work in the area of natural gas procurement for East Kentucky Power," Fellon said. "Since that time, we have expanded our services to include all fuel types and components along the supply chain from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption."
Consistent Goals
Fellon said that cooperatives' commitment to low prices and reliable service make them a natural fit with Fellon-McCord.
"Their goals of making the best decisions for their members in the short- and long-term are consistent with that of Fellon-McCord," he said. "We very much enjoy working with our cooperative clients."
Fellon said the company quickly realized the benefit of its association with NRECA, and has been a regular conference exhibitor and advertiser in RE Magazine.
"NRECA has offered our company an efficient and professional forum through which we have been able to meet many other NRECA cooperative members," he said. "We started as a Silver-level Associate Member in early 2009, but the overall value we have received convinced us to increase to the Platinum Level in 2010. "

Field Camp
Georgia State University
Department of Geology
To see this summer's Field Camp Schedule click on "Key dates" & "Schedule of Projects" on the Field Camp Homepage
Dillon is the county seat of Beaverhead County. It is located along I-15, 70 miles south of Butte in southwestern Montana, just east of the continental divide, and approximately 150 miles northwest of Yellowstone National Park and 400 miles south of Glacier National Park. Mapping will be conducted on metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Archean to Recent.
Nine hours
a day, six days a week for three weeks.
Descriptions - Advanced
Field Geology: Geol 4121-6121 - 3 Semester Hours Credit
Nine hours
a day, six days a week for three weeks.
Whereas some students will choose to attend field camp with this minimum preparation, others will choose to postpone field camp until completion of most of their upper-division geology courses. For most students there is no particular advantage to doing it either way. Students eligible to receive graduate credit for the course should register for Geol 6120 & 6121.
Students normally work in pairs in the field, but individually are responsible for completion of each project. Students will be assigned several mapping projects, each project taking from two days to five days in the field, covering areas of 2-10 mi2. There will also be two or three one-day independent mapping exercises (Independent Field days) which each student must complete and turn in without any collaboration or assistance.
During the mapping part of the course, field trips and show-and-tell sessions by the faculty are kept to a minimum. Mapping is conducted six days per week for 7-8 hours in the field. Meetings, help sessions, and drafting work on maps are reserved for the evenings. Letter grades are assigned at the end of the course based on work completed during the camp.
for Field Camp
Road Trip
Field Camp
You will need a sleeping bag and tent for the Road trip. Generally, showers and washers are available in the campgrounds, but count on one or two campsites having no facilities. For those who do not wish to camp out, motels are sometimes available but should not be depended on. There will probably be at least one or two nights where everyone must camp out. Sleeping in the van(s) will not be allowed. Meals during camping is the responsibility of the students, and is commonly prepared at the camp site (everyone pitches in).
(You will also have a phone in your room that you can use for local calls or credit card long distance calls.)
E-Mail: Dorm rooms have fast Internet connection. There are also computer labs you can use to send and receive e-mail, and access the Internet. Most computers are PCs running Windows NT and latest OS, but there are a few Mac's. If you have your own laptop you can log in via your dorm connection (or even dial-up line) as long as your dial-up service can be accessed with a call that is local, toll-free, or credit-card.
The Barrett Memorial Hospital is located just a few hundred yards from WMC. The center has a fully equipped emergency room, with doctors and nurses on site 24 hours a day.

Sprint Announces First Major Markets To Get LTE
In the first half of this year, Sprint users in Dallas, Atlanta, Houston and San Antonio will be the first to be able to enjoy Sprint's new 4G LTE network. The move from Sprint's current 4G network technology, WiMAX, to the faster (and seemingly more popular) LTE standard is part of Sprint's overall network strategy known as Network Vision.
As part of Network Vision, Sprint intends to deploy multimode base stations across many of Sprint's cell sites throughout the country. These base stations will provide better voice quality, signal density, and data speeds to Sprint customers. The first completed deployment of a multimode base station was in Branchburg, N.J., in December 2011.
Sprint Announces First Major Markets to Receive 4G LTE in 2012
Customers in Dallas, Atlanta, Houston and San Antonio are expected to enjoy ultra-fast service and an improved 3G wireless experience before middle of year
SAN FRANCISCO (BUSINESS WIRE), January 05, 2012 - Sprint (NYSE: S) CEO Dan Hesse announced today at the annual Citigroup Entertainment, Media and Telecommunications Conference that customers in Dallas, Atlanta, Houston and San Antonio are expected to be among the first to benefit from 4G LTE and improved 3G coverage in the first half of 2012.
The launch of these metropolitan areas marks the next step in the company's overall network strategy, also known as Network Vision. Sprint customers can expect to enjoy ultra-fast data speeds, improved 3G voice and data quality, and stronger in-building signal penetration providing a more reliable wireless experience. Whether a Sprint customer is on a smartphone streaming video, browsing the Web with a mobile hotspot, or making a voice call to someone across the country, everyone1 in the upgraded areas is expected to benefit from the advanced 3G/4G LTE network.
"Within the first half of 2012, Sprint customers should experience first-hand the wide-reaching improvements we have made in terms of boosting voice and data quality," said Bob Azzi, senior vice president – Network, Sprint. "With advanced smartphones and sophisticated wireless modems, our customers are using more and more mobile data, and one of our top priorities is to provide the best technology possible to improve our customers' experience."
Sprint's Network Vision platform involves the deployment of multimode base stations across many of Sprint's cell sites throughout the country. As base stations are deployed, customers will notice immediate improvements in voice quality, signal density and data speeds. The first completed deployment of a multimode base station was in Branchburg, N.J., in December 2011. As additional areas receive 3G enhancements and 4G LTE service, announcements will be made.
Another component of Sprint's network strategy has been the deployment of Sprint® Direct Connect® on the CDMA network. Sprint's legacy in push-to-talk leadership continues with new CDMA devices that launched in September, 2011. More CDMA push-to-talk devices will be announced in the coming months.
Sprint has been an innovator with 4G since first launching the technology in 2008. Sprint has launched more than 25 4G-enabled smartphones, USB connection cards, notebook/netbook products, mobile hotspots and routers. Sprint offers a proven, reliable 4G experience for millions of customers compared to other national wireless carriers. Additionally, Sprint is a leader in value, with Sprint Everything plans with Any Mobile, AnytimeSM, including unlimited data, texting and calling to and from any mobile phone in America while on the Sprint network. With Sprint's unlimited data plans, customers don't have to worry about throttling or data overage charges on their monthly bill as they might with tiered data plans from other carriers.
Or of course they can stick with 3.5G Wimax as well. The funny part about all of this and something I was trying to explain to my mother who is looking at new phones and providers. I did fine when T-Mobile would let me have a 200MB data conn b4 they throttled me. I never went over of course I turn off a lot of always on data BS as it also wastes battery. Sprint says they don't throttle etc but I do not believe it. I also had Sprint who guaranteed I would have service in my home. Needless to say I had Sprint for 29 days and got my money back because I had no service in my home, and they refused to send me one of there home data connect(internet/cellular/wirelessAGN) routers, at least without charging me another $150.00. As far as it goes when I bought it and signed the contract not only did they promise me service in my home the promised me WImax at home (which I did not get).
