Vera Wang's India-inspired clothes were quiet, delicate and lovely, sometimes requiring a trained eye to notice Wang's nod to the Nehru collar or choli jacket. They invoked India without ornate trappings or touristy gimmicks.
For the past five days, the chatter at New York Fashion Week has been about softening the edges, but Marc Jacobs changed the conversation – as he often does – after going graphic. Black-and-white stripes followed by red stripes, tan stripes and more black-and-white stripes came rapid fire down the runway.
The audience at Alexander Wang is trained to know the best is coming last. The mostly inventive black-and-white, pieced-leather looks that filled the first part of Saturday's show would have held Wang's place as one of the princes of cool. There were sporty parkas, tops inspired by hockey jerseys and even some more refined halter dresses.

Student looking for help/constructive criticism on a thesis topic idea
Hey there, I'm currently pursuing an MA in Geography & Environmental Studies, and am at that stage where I must decide a thesis topic. The topic that I am most interested in studying thus far is comparing the resale value of buildings designed for corporate branding purposes (in the form of "logo buildings" like those seen occupied by Mcdonald's, Pizza Huts, IHOPs, White Castle's, etc.) to nearby available commercial property. My impression is that these buildings are likely less desirable for reuse (lower property value [adjusted for size], longer time unoccupied) than the other forms of available commercial property nearby. I have a couple of questions regarding this topic:
Do any of you have any idea of the feasibility of conducting such a study? For the purposes of a comparative study, I would need to find information on at least two sets of sold property that exist within close proximity to each other, with both properties being located in the same area relative to the block it sits on, and with both sold roughly around the same time of each other. Do any of you think that finding such information is easily obtainable, taking into account that I am limiting the study to purchases of "logo buildings" for new purposes? Do any of you have any additional suggestions as to what other variables may be needed to take into account for the study?
The second question is in regards to past studies: I have not been able to find ANY past research on the topic. Can anyone lead me to some good sources? I don't even know how to search for similar papers, because I'm not sure what the exact term for these buildings are. If anyone would be willing to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'll give you a good topic to study.

You will have to look at traffic count. As roads change the flow of clients changes. On many small buildings it's value sitting on top of the land is nil. did they dell with or without equipment?, a big variable for a similar future use. A big city commercial appraiser's personal knowledge of a area is needed.
Never mind... George makes more sense. But in order to find data in the same block or immediate area, you'll need to look at major arterial roads in major metro areas.
Last edited by Mountain Man : 10-03-2011 at 11:25 AM.
I've appraised many such properties. Data is relatively easy to find in a metro area.
What I think you'll find with the "branded" buildings that were built or modified to have a distinctive look for the brand is that the original branded operation doesn't always stay in perpetuity and these buildings commonly get sold to generic users.
Sometimes they even get converted to a different type of occupancy altogether. I've seen convenience stores converted into small meeting rooms for religious users or into general or medical/dental offices. I've seen gas stations converted into used car sales lots or equipment rental yards or other commercial yard operations. I've seen lots of bank branch buildings converted into general or professional office space or even retail space.
I think what you'll find in pricing is that if a branded operation is being staying with the building there's usually going to be a lease involved for the occupant. The terms of the lease will usually drive the value unless the brand itself is in real trouble and the tenant's ability to survive to pay the lease rate is in question, or if the remaining term on the lease is real limited.
Once the branded building get sold to a generic user most market participants treat it just like any other space unless the original layout is so specific that it doesn't function well for other operations. If the new tenant can't adapt their operation to fit the layout of the building and they have to reconfigure or remodel that cuts into the prices they can pay for rent or purchase. Unit sizes can be an issue too - it's tough to make a 3,000 sf building pay off when the typical generic tenant only needs 1,500 or 2,000 sf.
In my experience I've found that prices and marketability are more tied to functionality of the structure and the location attributes than to whether or not the building is readily recognizable as a former McDonalds or Bank of America branch. .
As I say, in the region I work in such data is usually readily available, but these properties aren't always marketed as "former Burger King restaurant" or the like. It's usually up to the buyer or appraiser to recognize these designs on their own. That's where looking at a lot of these transactions over the years comes in handy.
I agree with George, data is plentiful. Recently many Wendy's have shuttered, leaving a fairly good chunk of data. But I think the most obvious, and the brand with most data are going to be Old Taco Bell locations, especially the ones with the terra cotta roofs.
The place you are likely going to get most of your sold data will be CoStar and/or LoopNet, but you can do free search at your local assessor's office. Also you could type "Former Taco Bell Building" in google and likely a few listings on LoopNet will pop up, start there.
Also in regards to places for literature, the Lum Library with the Appraisal Institute will have many articles for what you are looking for.
One thing as it might relate to your research, is that many of these restaurants will ground lease the land for a long term. Essentially they lease the land from the owner, build the restaurant themselves, and pay the lease for 20-40 years. At the end of the lease the building reverts back to the land owner. Generally those leases give you a good idea on the economic life of those buildings.
Feel free to private message me if you need any help.
I have found the problem, and it is us...not the AMC
Don't forget Hardee's... they used to be a power house that could compete directly with Wendy's, but went down with bad management. I see a lot of old Hardies in prime locations just sitting vacant or being used as a title pawn biz.
Maybe a southern thing, but also see some old KFC as they have worked to re-brand and build in new locations.
In my region there have also been a lot of Jack-in-the-Box, Der Wienerschnitzel, Del Taco, Kentucky Fried Chicken and other regional chains that have sold off units. Lots of bank branches that carried a specific design that have sold off units. Lots of the 7-11, Circle K convenience store units. There's all sorts of data like this out there. You can often find a sale of a franchise or company store unit and directly compare it to a similar unit built to the same specs for the same original brand but which were resold to a non-branded user.
You can run these comparisons without regard for when the sales occurred. Unlike with an appraisal aimed at coming up with a current value it doesn't make much difference how dated the sales are so long as any comparisons are made based on similar time frames. Market conditions change, and a 5-yr old sale is best compared to another sale from the same time period. I would argue that tracking the comparisons over a period of at least several years would result in a better analysis.
To do that you could comb through the sales histories of these properties to see any prior sales and track them that way.
As someone mentioned earlier, I'd be careful about comparing the branded units with the primo locations to the non-branded units with inferior locations. It's not unusual for one of these brands (including the oil companies) to pay steep premiums for their favorite locations, on occasion as much as double or triple the prevailing rate. There are often lots of strings attached to some of these site sales, like really long escrow times to obtain building approvals and other required permits and such. This is one reason the lease rates on some of these branded units is sometimes way high in relation to other generic units down the street.
A lot of times with the appraisal of net leased properties the client is interested in the fee simple value. Most of the value of these properties is the guranteed income stream from a long term lease to a national credit tenant. Once that lease is gone the value of just the "sticks and bricks" is usually just a fraction of the leased fee value. We appraised a Taco Bell recently and a block away was an older fast food restaurant that was sold to a nonprofit for a thirft goods store. Even after accounting for the difference in condition and location the Taco Bell with the long term lease was worth more than twice as much as a similar fast food restaurant.
Another property we appraised was an old Taco Bell that had been vacant for years. It was purchased for conversion into a dentists office. Essentially all they kept was the frame of the building and they built a addition to more than double the size of the building. It was basically just a land sale that happened to have some improvements with virtually no value.
Some of these buildings are readily identifiable as the former brand. Others have undergone a renovation that makes it nearly impossible to tell if it was originally a McDonald's, Taco Bell, or a mom and pop operation.
Data is plentiful. Good to know but doen't help the average student a whole lot. I don't know what school you're attending but if they have a real estate program, you might want to go talk to the the profs over there. They may have access to CoStar Loopnet, or other major data bases. If they don't have direct access to these data sources, they may know of alums who are in the real estate business that do have access and will help you. If that fails you might want to contact CoStar or others directly and beg for help. Also could try that with major commecial brokers in your area. The worst they can say is no. Access to MLS may or may not very useful depending on the area your in. Also in many areas there is a commercial MLS (of which CoStar and loopnet are examples) that is completely seperate from the residential stuff.
Students frequently come up with all kinds of interesting research ideas but can't get the data Sometimes its easier to find a data base and then come up with a question.
Where have you tried to do your literature seaches? Your library should be helpful with the academic journals in that regard. How you construct your search terms is important too. You may have to search more broadly and then narrow it down. Also try the real estate lit, as mentioned, along with urban planning and geography lit. Not all the journals from these areas may be found in a single lit data base. Research librarians are a great place to start. Good luck

The five songs that Jonas Brothers released today, now apparently their last tracks ever, fulfill that promise. The sleek and muscular "What Do I Mean To You," once slated as V's next single, surprises with the sudden aggression at the hook as if inspired by Muse. Other songs sound just as deliberate, but also couldn't sound more different. "The World" recalls Paula Abdul's "Straight Up," "Wedding Bells" bears enough whimsy to recall Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," while "Found" was clearly the trio's answer to Frank Ocean's "Lost."
Listen to the Jonas Brothers' remaining V tracks after the jump, and sound off on what could have been in the comments below.

TheDeal: Clearwire Slips as Investors Balk at Sprint Offer
In December, Sprint disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that its board had authorized management to bid $2.90 per share for Clearwire's minority equity. The price did not sit well with investors, and Sprint bumped it to $2.97 on Dec. 17.
Earlier this year, Dish Network Corp. offered $3.30 per share for Clearwire. Verizon Wireless offered to buy some of the company's spectrum for $1 billion to $1.5 billion for spectrum, minus the cost of lease obligations.
Crest had pushed Clearwire to wait until the ownership battle for Sprint is resolved, and then hold a competitive review. Sprint has agreed to a $20.1 billion deal with Softbank that would give the Japanese telecom a 70% stake. But Dish has made a competing $25.5 billion offer. Softbank granted Sprint a waiver so that Dish can conduct due diligence and negotiate with the wireless carrier.
Sprint shareholders are scheduled to vote on the Softbank offer on June 12. Martyn Roetter, a consultant who has advised Crest, said that the new bid is still inadequate. "Sprint is trying to sew Clearwire up before its own vote," he added. Mount Kellett Capital Management LP has previously criticized Sprint's buyout attempt. Representatives of Mount Kellett could not be reached Tuesday for a reaction to the revised bid.
Mount Kellett, Highside Capital Management LP, Glenview Capital Management LLC and Chesapeake Partners Management Co. formed a group to hold talks. Collectively, they hold more than 18% of the Class A shares. There are questions about Clearwire's viability as an independent entity. Clearwire has said that its cash will only carry it until the first quarter of 2014. Sprint has agreed to provide Clearwire with $80 million per month in financing. Crest has offered to provide $240.million in convertible debt on terms that it says are better than Sprint's financing. Aurelius Capital Management LP said in April that it would chip in $80 million. Egan-Jones Ratings Co. and Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. advised shareholders to accept the $2.97 offer. Glass, Lewis & Co. LLC said investors should reject the deal. It will be a busy week and a half before the new voting date.

Afternoon Reading List 06.19.13.
Bill Clinton is holding Hillary back — In her Bloomberg column with the headline "Hillary Has to Dump Bill Now," Margaret Carlson examines Hillary Clinton's "return to the living." Carlson runs through a list of Clinton's recent doings: unveiling her Twitter account (where she acknowledged the pantsuit), not being tan, being rested and ready and picking a "rocking photo." The emergence of "Hillary 2.0" came at a poor time, however, during her the week long annual celebration of her husband's Global Initiative, where she says Bill Clinton was "surrounded by his cast and on his turf." During this period, it was Bill who made the headlines, with loose remarks about President Obama's involvement in Syria (he said the president looked like a "wuss."). Carlson basically states that if Clinton has any shot at the White House, she needs to learn how to control her husband.
First Couple looking to fill Friday nights — The young Obamas are growing up, and as the President said, "Now that my girls are getting older, they don't want to spend that much time with me anyway." So to keep him and FLOTUS from getting lonely, Peter Nicholas reported for the Wall Street Journal, President Obama is filling the couple's time by hosting casual Friday dinner parties, which have often continued into Saturday morning. The White House did not disclose who has been invited, but according to sources familiar with the dinners, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault and Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein have all been guests at the soirées. A White House official said the couple is inviting guests not necessarily of political prominence, but any interesting people. Obama has been criticized in the past for giving Washington's social life a cold shoulder, but he now appears to be embracing the party scene.

Need more fiber
I haven't been on Atkins very long this go around, but I've already noticed that I need more fiber! I know that flax seeds are a great low carb source of fiber, so I'm looking for recipes that any of you may love. Also, when a recipe calls for flax seed, is it assumed that you grind it first? I read somewhere that to get the benefit, you have to grind it. Any other ideas on how to get a high fiber snack in? I do eat my veggies, but I seem to need more.
I take a product called PGX. It's just fiber but it helps fill me up faster and keeps things moving. I take one before every meal and I can tell the difference when I don't take it.
When I use flax seeds I always soak them first. They absorb quite a bit of liquid.
Why do you think you need more fiber...in my case it usually makes me bloated and constipated...more fiber can make this worse...just wondered why you thought you needed more? Just the curiosity killing the proverbial cat.
Buy flaxseed meal, it's already ground. Very easy to use.
I feel that I need more fiber because my digestive system has slooooooooooowwwwwed way down. :(
I suggest you try magnesium and or coconut oil. Go slow at first!
Oh ok... I already have coconut oil, and I have heard people say that mixing it in coffee is divine, so I'll try that!
Oh good! Hope it goes well!!;)
Yes, I take the PGX more for the full feeling. I believe the CO probably has more do to do with going regularly but don't know for sure which one helps.
Or just bake something with glucommanan (konjac) in it since that is the G in PGX. Must less expensive for the powder too and Netrition has it.
When I started induction a little over 3 weeks ago, drinking more water helped with regularity. As a rule for me, distilled water seems to be most effective.
I eat milled flax seeds, ground flax seeds, and flax seed meal. I've seen some great looking flax seed recipes on this site but have yet to try any. I mainly use them in smoothies and as sprinkle topping for salads, meats, and some veggies. (I'm quite fond of the taste and texture.)
I also eat chia seeds. wheat germ, Joseph's pita bread, and mustard greens for fiber. (I like mustards and they have zero net carbs.)
I started with the coconut oil two Saturdays ago, but none of it really does anything for me unless I drink enough water.
Oh I forgot about avocado. It's high in fiber as well.
I know there is some controversy regarding its safety, but at a minimum, no one is really arguing that short term use (3 months or so) is dangerous. Still, I have never made it my sole source of water.
I do love the taste and find it less filling. Also in addition to leaching minerals, it also leaches bad things as well and moves them more quickly through my system (food poisoning, stool, fever, etc.).
Thanks again for bringing this up because I did not mean to imply that I drink it all the time.
I'll have to try some of the flax recipes on the site. I've upped the water, and things seem to be going a bit better. Unfortunately, I can't eat avocado because I seem to have an intolerance for it. Which is a shame because I know they're really good for you in this type of diet. I've made a conscience effort to eat lots of greens for the fiber too.
I've been using FoodScience of Vermonts Clearly Fiber (available on-line). I like to add 1 teaspoonfull to my coffee and have been using it for several years now for my fiber supplement...works well for me! ;-)

– Alphonse Desjardins, The Canadian credit union pioneer made the remarks in a speech in the early 1900s.
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
Absurdities and Anomalies of Life always amaze and amuse me. Shared here are my favorite 21 mind-boggling dichotomies: (i) Only Certainty in this world is that there is nothing Certain, except death and taxes off course, (ii) Only Constant is the Change, (iii) The more you try to impress folks, the less impressed they will be, (iv) The more afraid you become of death, the less likely you wll enjoy life, (v) The more afraid you are to fail, the more likely you will fail, (vi) The more you fail, the more likely you will succeed, (vii) The harder you push for anything, the harder it will be to achieve, (viii) The more available anything is, the less likely you will want it, (ix) The more you learn, the more you realize your ignorance, (x) The more you argue with spouse or boss, the less likely you will win, (xi) The more you try to come close, the farther you will get pushed, (xii) The more choices you will have, the less satisfied you will be with any of those, (xiii) The more connected you get in social network, more isolated you will become, (xiv) The more you talk about your flaws, the more perfect you become in society's eyes, (xv) Peace is the only battle worth fighting for, (xvi) In order to better understand the world, you will have to turn away from it, (xvii) The more the people talk about something, the less they know about it, (xviii) The less someone cares about others, the less he cares about himself, (xix) the more you hate a trait in others, the more likely you are avoiding it in your own self, (xx) Those who can't trust others can't be trusted, and finally (xxi) No matter what it is, at the end of the day, the less is always the more.
Ace The town will never be the same. After the Tangiers, the big corporations took it all over. Today it looks like Disneyland. And while the kids play cardboard pirates, Mommy and Daddy drop the house payments and Junior's college money on the poker slots. In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you played. Today, it's like checkin' into an airport. And if you order room service, you're lucky if you get it by Thursday. Today, it's all gone. You get a whale show up with four million in a suitcase, and some twenty-five-year-old hotel school kid is gonna want his Social Security Number. After the Teamsters got knocked out of the box, the corporations tore down practically every one of the old casinos. And where did the money come from to rebuild the pyramids Junk bonds. But in the end, I wound up right back where I started. I could still pick winners, and I could still make money for all kinds of people back home. And why mess up a good thing
I've always believed in education and in good teaching that is guided by truth. But after a lifetime of educational pursuit, I now ask, what is true education and who decides on what is good teaching? This search has taken me through the spiritual, the delusional, social, physical, the psychological, the philosophical -- and back again. And I have made the most important educational discovery of my career, the most important discovery of my whole life: It is only through kindness that any true lesson can be taught and that I'm only here to help my students find that kindness. They are all my education, they are all my good teaching, they are my truth, they are my kindness.
Over the long term, if government revenues continue to be less than the expenditures (deficit). This will result in accumulated debt. An increasing government debt will result in higher interest payments, and less money available for socioeconomic development. To pay for the debt, the government will have to raise taxes, which will reduce the competitive position of the country in the global economy and chase investors away resulting in less economic activities and more job losses. In order to avoid higher unemployment and social instability, the government have to raise more debt to fund spending and welfare support by raising the interest rate which will increase the cost of money, reduce corporate profits and slow economic investments, thus resulting in more job losses and reduced government revenues, despite income tax increases. It is what I call a vicious economic cycle.
Social climbers are a bit like rats. You know you should avoid them, but, somehow one or two manage to sneak into your life anyhow.
The integrity of states is ruled by the socioeconomic well-being theory. The degree of the stability of any social system is proportional to the degree of its economic growth and vice versa. Stated differently, the risk to national integrity increases proportionally to the country's economic decline.
There are two main reasons that caused mainstream economists and financial media to miss the financial crisis of 2008. The first is the NIH (Not Invented Here) bias, which is an organizational phenomenon manifested as an unwillingness to adopt an idea because it originates from unknown outsiders. It is a form of social cognition bias that leads to errors in group judgments such as missing on new opportunities or risks. The second reason is a cognition bias known as the Confirmation Bias which is the tendency to search for, filter in, or interpret information in a way that confirms existing preconceptions. The Confirmation Bias is recognized as an individual cognition bias, but when met with (NIH) bias it appears to develop into a social bias very similar to the Groupthink syndrome.
When I say I love Eastland, it sounds preposterous--a man who brutalizes people. But *you* love him or you wouldn't be here. You're going to Mississippi to create social change--and you love Eastland in your desire to create conditions which will redeem his children. Loving your enemy is manifest in putting your arms not around the man but around the social situation, to take power from those who misuse it--at which point they can become human too.
Over the long term, if government revenues continue to be less than the expenditures (deficit), then the economic health of the country worsens because this will result in accumulated debt. An increasing government debt will result in higher interest payments, and less money available for socioeconomic development. To pay for the debt, the government will have to raise taxes, which will reduce the competitive position of the country in the global economy and chase investors away resulting in less economic activities and more job losses. In order to avoid higher unemployment and social instability, the government have to raise more debt to fund spending and welfare support by raising the interest rate which will increase the cost of money, reduce corporate profits and slow economic investments, thus resulting in more job losses and reduced government revenues, despite income tax increases. It is what I call a vicious economic cycle.
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.
The socioeconomic well-being theory explains that when the members of a sociopolitical system share the same economic interests and the existing system produces enough economic opportunities to meet the needs of the members, they are likely to tolerate existing differences and work together towards shared benefits. On the other hand, when the system fails to produce enough economic opportunities over a long period of time, the members of the system are likely to compete more aggressively for existing resources, causing divisions among the members to grow stronger. The degree of social cohesiveness will diminish and divisions could take different forms such as ethnic, religious and geographic conflicts and at times class warfare or civil wars. If not managed properly, such sociopolitical systems can become dysfunctional. If the dysfunction is left untreated, at a certain point it will take more energy to fix the system than to let it collapse.
Vain glory/vanity is nothing else than excessive pride/regard/trust/hope/admiration/dependence in your/one's riches/wealth/social status/family background/qualification/beauty/handsomeness & stuffs like that. Oh! Yes, That's just what vain glory/vanity is all about. So beware of that.
To laugh often and much to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others to leave the world a little better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.
Yale is a crucible in American life for the accommodation of intellectual achievement, of wisdom, of refinement, with the democratic ideals of openness, of social justice and of equal opportunity.
In our quest to become more social, and intelligent, Are we, human kind becoming socially inept due to our own technology. Is our technology making the world smaller? … or driving us from social interaction?"
What is a minority The chosen heroes of this earth have been in a minority. There is not a social, political, or religious privilege that you enjoy today that was not bought for you by the blood and tears and patient suffering of the minority. It is the minority that have stood in the van of every moral conflict, and achieved all that is noble in the history of the world.
A credit union is not an ordinary financial concern, seeking to enrich its members at the expense of the general public. Neither is it a loan company, seeking to make a profit at the expense of the unfortunates… The credit union is nothing of the kind; it is the expression in the field of economics of a high social ideal.
– Alphonse Desjardins, The Canadian credit union pioneer made the remarks in a speech in the early 1900s.
A great many college graduates come here thinking of lawyers as social engineers arguing the great Constitutional issues.
A sort of war of revenge on the intellect is what, for some reason, thrives in the contemporary social atmosphere.
All in all, I am not surprised that the people who want to unravel the social contract start with young adults. Those who are urged to feel afraid, very afraid, have both the greatest sense of independence and the most finely honed skepticism about government.
All Reformers, however strict their social conscience, live in houses just as big as they can pay for.

Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.

Obama Admin Memo on Medical Marijuana Stirs Dismay and Anger
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The medical marijuana movement is reeling after the Obama Justice Department released a memo last week declaring that it might prosecute large-scale medical marijuana cultivation operations and dispensaries even in states where they are operating in compliance with state laws. Advocates reacted with dismay and disappointment, even as they plotted strategies about what to do next.
The memo, written by US Deputy Attorney General James Cole, "clarifies" the October 2009 memo from then-Deputy Attorney General David Ogden that told federal prosecutors not to focus their resources on patients and providers in compliance with state laws. The earlier memo gave some substance to President Obama's campaign promise not to persecute medical marijuana patients and providers in states where it is legal.
But after the 2009 memo, federal officials watched aghast as a veritable medical marijuana cultivation and dispensary boom took off in places such as Colorado and Montana, where dispensaries went from near zero to hundreds of operations, and as localities in California began considering huge commercial grows. The Justice Department responded with increased federal raids -- now at twice the rate of the Bush administration, according to Americans for Safe Access, the nation's largest medical marijuana advocacy organization -- and earlier this year, sent threatening letters from US Attorneys to governors and legislators in states considering or implementing medical marijuana distribution programs.
Those letters "are entirely consistent with the October 2009 memorandum," Cole argued in last week's memo. "The Department of Justice is committed to the enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act in all states. Congress has determined that marijuana is a dangerous drug and that the illegal distribution and sale of marijuana is a serious crime that provides a significant source of revenue to large scale criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels," Cole continued.
Noting that "some of these jurisdictions have considered approving the cultivation of large quantities of marijuana, or broadening the regulation and taxation of the substance," Cole reiterated the Ogden memo's message that "it is likely not an efficient use of federal resources to focus enforcement efforts on individuals with cancer or other serious illnesses who use marijuana as part of a recommended treatment regimen consistent with applicable state law, or their caregivers."
He then took care to narrowly define the term "caregiver," which is commonly applied to people growing medical marijuana for authorized patients. "The term 'caregiver' as used in the memorandum meant just that: individuals providing care to individuals with cancer or other serious illnesses, not commercial operations cultivating, selling or distributing marijuana."
Cole then went on to write that it is not the Obama administration's position that has changed, but facts on the ground. "There has, however, been an increase in the scope of commercial cultivation, sale, distribution and use of marijuana for purported medical purposes. For example, within the past 12 months, several jurisdictions have considered or enacted legislation to authorize multiple large-scale, privately-operated industrial marijuana cultivation centers. Some of these planned facilities have revenue projections of millions of dollars based on the planned cultivation of tens of thousands of cannabis plants," he wrote.
The 2009 memo "was never intended to shield such activities from federal enforcement action and prosecution, even where those activities purport to comply with state law," Cole continued. "Persons who are in the business of cultivating, selling or distributing marijuana, and those who knowingly facilitate such activities, are in violation of the Controlled Substances Act, regardless of state law... Those who engage in transactions involving the proceeds of such activity may also be in violation of federal money laundering statutes and other federal financial laws."
It didn't take long for the medical marijuana and drug reform movements to fire back. While some took small solace in the fact that patients are still protected from federal persecution, the dominant reaction was dismay and disgust.

Space City Futbol Club offers a rich and competitive recreational program for U11 through U16 players (Division 3) and is open to ALL players, new or experienced, from ages 10-15.
At the U11 and up level, the numbers of players determine if teams can be formed regionally. Every attempt is made, but in some cases, players are combined from each region to form teams. Location of practices are then determined by the Volunteer coach and parents of the selected teams.
You can request a region, but understand that there is no guarantee or refund given based on not practicing at the preferred location.
Early registration will greatly increase the chances of playing in the region of choice.
Teams are coached and managed by volunteer parent coaches and assistant coaches, usually of children on the team.
· Times, dates and location of practices are determined by these volunteer coaches, so we do not know where they may practice until teams are formed.
· Volunteer coaches receive training and guidance as directed and facilitated by US Youth Soccer by Professional Staff and mentor coaches in SCFC.
Practices are normally held twice a week and are usually scheduled by volunteer parent coach upon consultation with parents, according to one of the following formats:
Each U11 and above SCFC club team participates in the Bay Area Youth Soccer Association (BAYSA) league games on weekends.
Fall season - All games are scheduled by BAYSA, scores are counted, and standings are kept online through GotSoccer. Teams are schedules for 9-10 games with a possibility of advancing to area playoffs and Eastern District championship tournament. This is only for U11-U14, there is no post season Fall play for U15 teams.
Game Format
Travel for games is limited to the Bay Area – from Galveston to Channelview and from La Porte to Manvel and everywhere in between. For more information on BAYSA clubs participating – www.baysa.org.
Games are normally on Saturdays, but there may be Sunday afternoon games scheduled during the season.
U11 and Up - $260 ($25 late fee added after June 30th)
Coaches and Parents: Receive e-mail and/or text message notification of field status changes by signing up at www.statusme.com.

Well, yes, I am most certainly sure the answer to that question is a big, fat, "Y.E.S!"
Yep, and this is my second blog for the day.... =)
So, DH & I spent the weekend in a mountainous area here in Germany just a few hours away from us. It is really gorgeous there, btw!! I am signed up to run a marathon there in October, a marathon which climbs to the top of the biggest mountain in that area!!! EEEEEEP! Needless to say, there is NO time goal for me on this one!! Finishing is ENOUGH for me!
While we were there, someone who saw me go running decided to tell DH about a marathon in the area...
...a very peculiar and unique marathon... (My FAVE!)
... a marathon that is run in an old mine shaft, 700 m underground!!!
Ok, I love running. I don't just run to reach some certain time, so I can reach some status symbol, and say, "OH, look at me, I can run a marathon/HM/10k in such-n-such time." No I run because I love it, and I love joining these races that are really unique.
So, of COURSE, now I am ITCHING like CrAzY to sign up!! This is the kind of race that really appeals to me! DH has given me the "ok", but we have to organize a few things first... one of those things being childcare, or at least help with the kids.
In the description, it says that it is recommended only "WELL-TRAINED" marathon runners sign up! Because under the earth, it is very warm (not too bad, right?), but also VERY dry! Because of this, and the extra pressure from being underground, it makes the run more difficult.
Out of curiosity, I then looked up the results of last year's race - the fastest man finished in 3:20, and the fastest woman finished in 4:04. Those times are not terribly fast at all in comparison with other races I've seen.
In other words, this marathon would be a REAL challenge!! I'm ALL OVER a good challenge!!
The other good thing is that it is 4 laps... I'm not psyched about running laps for a marathon, even though I did that with my first marathon. But in this race, if you want to bail after 2 laps (a Half Marathon) or 3 laps even (making it a 3/4 marathon), they still give you an official time for those distances!! This takes a little of the pressure off to finish, just in case I find it is much harder than I anticipated.....
Anyway, I am SERIOUSLY contemplating this one..... Haven't made up my mind yet though.... I will definitely keep my lovely Spark Friends posted....
My hubby just signed up for his first EVER 5K!!! He is not an athlete, and certainly not a runner at all, but he really wants to start being healthier!
PLEASE, PLEASE add him if you can, and cheer him on!! His screen name on here is Macmeister... =) Here is the link to his page: www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp?id=MACMEISTER
He has signed up for the 5K run at the marathon I will be doing in October. I am really excited for him, but I know for him, running does NOT come easily. He has tried to start before, and just didn't have the motivation to stick with it, but I think he is really getting serious now. This has all come without ANY prodding from me. He has decided this all on his own!!
Please help encourage him, and support him during this time!! Thank you all!
I set out for 16 miles for a long run today, and bailed at 11 miles. First time I have EVER bailed due to just feeling absolutely crappy. I felt like I was going to barf the whole way (and NO I am not pregnant!)!! It was horrible. I took a week and a half off during my little vacation to the UK, but seriously?!?!?! Does my body have to move fully into lazy and unconditioned mode so quickly??? GRRRR! That run was a total bomb on my confidence!! I kept thinking it would get better/easier as I went, but it didn't.... booooo.
I will get around one of these days to posting blogs and photos about my epic vacation to Scotland and London. My friend and I had a blast. We laughed so much and so hard that our stomach muscles hurt after a few days. I have so many really funny stories to tell, and took over 800 photos!!
But those are for another time... if I can regain any sort of sanity to my life in the near future..... Things are a bit rough right now, and out of sorts.
Now for me to go wallow in self pity about my horrible run today.....
It is only a hop, skip, and a jump across the pond for me from Germany. The flight is only an hour and 10 minutes long or something. But this will only be my second time being in England!
I will be meeting my friend from Alaska at the Whole Foods Market on Kensington High Street this afternoon...
But unfortunately, any goals to lose some weight before my trip have absolutely gone south. Yes, that is right... no progress. No progress AT ALL. In fact, I have gained a couple of pounds.
I have kept up with my workouts, except for this week. (I slacked on 1 ST and Ab Ripper session with P90X this week, but got in a TON of cardio!) This next week while I am in England will be a recovery week with P90X, which works out well. I am taking running gear, but I don't plan to do any long runs, just 30-60 min or so.
But my eating, as always has been my biggest problem. And it's been WAY WORSE the last couple of weeks due to all of the new, exciting changes that are starting to take place with us!!! With the whole prospect of a new job here, I have been really nervous and excited and unsettled.... Which has been leading to BAD eating - lots of calories, sugar, and fatty foods. Each day, I say, "Ok, I will do better today..." and each day, I just bomb out!!!
This week, I will really shoot to make healthy choices, I will enjoy my trip with my friend, TAKE LOTS OF PHOTOS, and when I get back, it will be high time to get serious. I keep saying that, but for reals.... time to get serious!!
Have a great week, Sparkers!!
I guess I can call it that now that it seems we will be staying here indefinitely!! My hubby was offered the job yesterday!
I have lived in Germany for almost 5 years now, but always felt that things were a little uncertain, mainly because of the horrible job environment that my husband faced day in and day out (as mentioned in my other blog.)
But now....
All of the job uncertainty for the past 4.5 or 5 years, and wondering what we are gonna do in the future, if we will stay here, if we will go, if my husband will take the stupid family car business over, if we EVER should have come here in the first place.....
All of these questions seemed to be getting settled!!
My husband went in and worked at the new potential job place. The position? A project manager for a company that translates large documents or even websites into different languages. It is IT heavy, which is perfect for my hubby. He's a computer nerd.... DH really liked the work, and he felt it was something he is going to be really good at.
They were super pleased with his work, and feel he would be a GREAT addition to their team. Plus while offering the job, they even talked about a long-term FUTURE with the job!! This is just GREAT!
The pay is good, and promised to be even better within the year. NO WEEKENDS, and it's pretty much simply 9-6 job. DH is not even gonna know what it's like to not have to leave for work until 8:30 in the morning, and having EVERY Saturday FREE!! Plus he will get at least 28 days vacation a year!!
We are really thrilled, both of us. My husband is very nervous about putting in his resignation with his aunt and uncle. They are the type of people who are very vindictive and nasty when they don't get their way. They think they are such wonderful people to work for, but I have never seen such horrible management skills, and even worse, their treatment of employees (their horrible treatment of my husband included). It's disturbing that they have kept ANY employees over the years. Why would people tolerate that sort of a work place?? I have no idea. But as much as he wants out, he is still very nervous about facing them. We could be in for a real crap-storm!!!
But I know that one day soon, we will look back and all of that will be a distant memory. And we are both certain (through much prayer!) that this is the right move for us! We were so certain we would be heading back to the States, but sometimes God has other plans! And if my husband hadn't come to the point mentally where we were really ready to leave, this job opportunity may NEVER have presented itself to us, or he may not have seriously considered it.
It all started with someone asking us WHY we wanted to move back to the States..... Weird how these things work out, huh?? Just like my good friend Wendy said, it wasn't a coincident; it was a God-incident!!
By law, DH has to give a 30-day notice to his current employers, so he will be obligated to work until the end of August. It could be that they spitefully tell him, "Don't bother coming back!" or it could be that they simply use the last 4 weeks to just pour out their anger and nastiness on him.....
So, the next several weeks of transition may be quite rough for us!! I know it will pass, but it is a bit unnerving! Any prayers, happy vibes, wishes for serenity and peace, or WHATEVER in the next few weeks would be greatly appreciated!!
Happy Sparking, everyone!!!

U-T profiles of notable local people
What I love most about Carlsbad ...
I love everything about Carlsbad, from the history of the small town and how eclectic it is to the people, and, of course, some of the best beaches in San Diego. I have nothing bad to say about Carlsbad except I wish more people would come enjoy this beautiful beach community more than they do. Honestly, right now I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Gregg Visintainer lives what he calls a "carny life," and he loves it.
The Carlsbad artist travels to fairs and exhibitions all over the state showcasing his complex, richly detailed pen-and-ink drawings. Inside each piece, Visintainer layers words, graphics and other hidden images.
The self-taught artist recently opened Viz Art Ink Gallery, where he sells his own pieces as well as work by fellow local artists. On Saturday, the gallery is having a party with live music, food and discounts on art.
Another thing about Visintainer? He says he's 29, but technically he's 7 years old because the Bay Area native was born on Feb. 29.
Q: There's more to your art than the initial image you see. Can you explain what's going on in the pieces?
A: My art is hand-drawn using pen and ink. From afar, there is a main image, but up close you find hidden pictures, words and messages embedded relating to each theme.
Q: Where did you get the idea to do this?
A: I was always a doodler in school. When I was 15, I created my first piece, called "Classroom Notes." I was hiding logos from students' T-shirts, images of the topic teachers were talking about and anything else that came to mind. My art is my meditation and therapy. It's how I deal with life and has always kept me grounded when I felt lost.
Q: How long do you research before beginning a piece?
A: Creating a piece is very complex and time-consuming. For example, right now I'm working on a Seattle piece. I went to Seattle in September for inspirational purposes and was looking for the view I wanted to create. Once I found the view, I started making lists of what is important to Seattle. After I make my lists of pictures and words, I make a final list to start creating my artwork, which will take over 80 hours to draw. From start to finish, this piece will take over three months.
Q: Your work is all about details. What happens if you make a mistake?
A: My mistakes are more on spelling. Most of them are so small to see, a lot of people don't even recognize it. As far as pen control, I have been practicing for a long time, but mistakes do happen.
Q: Is there a recurring image that you use in all your art, something that's your trademark?
A: Yes, I have three things I hide in every image. I hide my signature, my name in a pattern and the finish date. It's great because each piece is like a time stamp where I can see exactly when all of them were created.

California Municipal Bond ETFs Not Worth Risk
NEW YORK ( ETF Expert) -- How does the state of California intend to combat its exorbitant debts? Left-leaning leaders have proposed higher income taxes on the "rich" as well as increasing sales taxes.
Unfortunately, California already sits near the top of the country's taxation ladder. At present, top marginal bracket payers are shelling out nearly 10% -- close to three times the national average.
State corporate tax rates are approximately twice the national average at 8.84%. In fact, wherever one looks -- property, gasoline, sales -- the tax rates may be higher than anywhere else in the nation.
So why would anyone with money stick around California to experience additional fleecing? It doesn't appear that they are.Arthur Laffer, widely recognized for his work on the Laffer Curve, recently pointed out that California witnessed a net loss of nearly 900,000 tax filers between 1992 and 2008. Even scarier, it isn't known how many productive tax filers left the state during the economic meltdown and tepid recovery period circa 2008-2011. What is known is that more working adults have left California than have entered the cash-strapped state, reducing the size of the tax base. Additionally, those who exited are/were 14% wealthier (on average) than those who came in. Simply put, the California government is not able to tax as many people let alone tax as many wealthy people. The better earners and entrepreneurs -- many of whom indeed have a choice with respect to residency -- are pursuing tax-friendlier environs. You don't have to take my word for it. The statistics already speak for themselves. Many are planning to relocate to Nevada, Arizona or Utah; others already have; I am mapping out a long-term strategy for limiting my exposure to California taxation. Granted, some "rich" people will not abandon their roots. Those folks may figure that their problems can be solved through investing in California municipal bond funds. Indeed, California munis have had a remarkable run as of late. Following are three exchange-traded funds that track California municipal bonds and their percentage gains over the past year.

Toshiba Electronics Europe Selects ModusLink's Solution Center In Brno, Czech Republic To Provide Content Loading Services For Flash Memory Products
ModusLink Global SolutionsTM Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNK) today announced Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH (TEE), the European electronic components business of Toshiba Corporation, has selected ModusLink's solution center in Brno, Czech Republic to provide on-demand configuration capabilities. TEE has certified the solution center and will be leveraging ModusLink's content delivery solution to meet its customers' requirements for pre-loaded flash memory devices.
The evolution of mobile computing technology, in particular the proliferation of tablets and smartphones, is changing how people use technology to access information and stay connected. Gartner recently forecasted worldwide media tablet sales to grow to 118.9 million units in 2012, a 98 percent increase over 2011 sales 1. These devices, as well as many of the ultrabooks on the market today, don't have standard CD/DVD drives but do have USB ports and SD slots. Offering recovery media and other large-file software pre-loaded onto SD and microSD cards or USB drives gives consumers a viable back-up option and allows for situations where wireless downloads of software may not be practical.
"ModusLink has the configuration capabilities, infrastructure and global footprint needed to effectively deliver a true on-demand content solution at a critical time in the advancement of mobile and tablet technology," said Naoyoshi Hosoda, vice president, Toshiba Electronics Europe. "With our pre-loaded media devices, we can provide consumers with the same secure access to content and software they have come to expect with conventional computing platforms."
Pre-loaded flash media can be leveraged for an array of products including consumer electronics, software and other digital content, medical devices and automobile navigation systems. A number of companies in these varied industries are utilizing this service today to meet their pre-load requirements."We expect the number of devices without optical drives to increase in the coming years as additional industries embrace mobile and wireless technology and the need for solutions like Toshiba's will grow," said Tom Nightingale, president, sales and marketing, ModusLink. "We're seeing this already; the use of in-vehicle navigation systems that function best with regular map updates is one such example. By enabling a demand-driven solution for customers requiring flash media with pre-loaded content, both Toshiba Electronics Europe and ModusLink are well positioned to meet the needs of this rapidly growing market opportunity."
