My daughters car had been vibrating for months. I ignored it....fearing it would be an expensive fix and we just didn't have the money. Finally decided to fix it. After some internet searching, motor mounts seem to be a common problem with the focus. Local part store = $120. PartsGeek = $13. And got it in 3 days! Part worked perfect. Fixed the problem. Very satisfied with both parks geek and product!

Release Date:
September 21, 2010
After successfully seeking out the ultimate slider in the 2004 stoner comedy Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, the cannabis-craving twosome returns in this high-flying sequel that finds them labeled terrorists for attempting to sneak a ******-smoking implement on a flight to Amsterdam. Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) have just finished gorging themselves on savory White Castle hamburgers when they return to their apartment and hatch a plan for Harold to win the heart of his crush, Maria (Paula Garcés). Maria is going to Amsterdam, and if Harold can catch up with her overseas perhaps he can strike up a real love connection. After a close call with airport personnel and a chance encounter with Kumar's ex-girlfriend Vanessa (Danneel Harris) -- who hadn't yet told Kumar that she's engaged to be married -- the pot-loving pals finally board their flight for Amsterdam. Unfortunately for Harold, Kumar isn't able to endure the lengthy flight without an innocent puff or two from his smokeless ******. When the plane hits some turbulence and the ****** is mistaken for a bomb, the flight is diverted to Guantanamo Bay and our spliff-smoking heroes are detained by overzealous Deputy Chief of Homeland Security Ron Fox (Rob Corddry). Now, if they can just escape from the world's most notorious prison compound, perhaps this hapless duo can succeed in convincing the authorities that they aren't enemy combatants, and that Kumar made the mistake of his life by letting Vanessa go. But before they can prove their innocence and get the girls, Harold and Kumar will have to outsmart the dreaded Ku Klux Klan, contend with a particularly precocious Cyclops baby, and successfully elude everyone's favorite debauched former child star -- Neil Patrick Harris. Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Directed by Danny Leiner, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle follows the life-changing (and mind-altering) journey of Korean-American investment banker Harold (John Cho) and Indian-American medical-school candidate Kumar (Kal Penn). Both underdogs, Harold and Kumar decide to spend what would have been an otherwise uneventful Friday night satisfying an oddly intense urge for White Castle hamburgers. However, finding a White Castle proves a highly difficult task, and the two friends wind up on an epic road trip of deep thoughts, deeper inhaling, and enough half-baked, politically incorrect philosophizing to outweigh a White Castle value meal.

An automatic graphical layout printing system is described. In a distributed client server computer network, a print generation system is employed to convert documents and data objects generated and managed in various different formats into a generic electronic form format for print output. The print generation system imports form and content data comprising a document or similar data object. The graphical layout information and content data are extracted from the document to produce a stripped document. Metadata comprising rules that define the data field coordinate and type information within the document is generated from the graphical layout information and content data. New content data to be included in the document is then merged with the stripped document and metadata. A printable document consisting of the merged stripped document, metadata and content data is then generated.

The present invention relates generally to data processing, and more specifically, to an automatic print generation system that merges form layout data with content data to provide final documents.
The on-line implementation of many data processing systems has allowed users to fill-out various forms directly on their computer. Whereas early implementations of computerized data entry systems provided rudimentary user interfaces for data input, present systems often provide data input screens that appear identical to the actual paper forms that a user would fill-out if submitting a form in person or by mail. For example, various government agencies, such as the Social Security Administration now provide on-line form processing capabilities so that users can fill out electronic versions of forms, such as applications for Social Security cards, and submit them over a computer network. The computerized forms are identical in appearance to the paper forms that are traditionally used so that users do not need to receive special instructions regarding the format and data entry requirements of the on-line version of the form.
The adaptation of on-line forms to a format that is familiar to users has greatly enhanced the usability and efficiency of many on-line data processing systems. However, such systems require the on-line forms to be laid out in a pre-defined design that may not be optimized for computerized data entry. Furthermore, the management of content data within the on-line forms often requires additional processing overhead because of possible layout constraints and fixed graphical information and data type definitions. This can make defining new forms or adapting content data to other on-line forms or printable documents a costly process.
Various different systems have been developed to create and manage on-line forms using electronic form software based on word-processing, database, and/or desktop publishing applications. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,091,868 entitled �Method and Apparatus for Forms Generation,� describes a system in which a central workstation is used to design and prepare a form that is provided as an object code output program to remote workstations to generate the form. Other systems have expanded this idea to allow that ability of form layouts and definitions to be transferred among different computer platforms. These systems, however, typically provide only a means to convert a generic form or a completed form with form definition and data from one format to another. Such systems do not provide a means to merge form layout data with data field information and content data into a populated form that is formatted for print output. Moreover, because these systems typically operate on digitized graphic data and user input content data, they usually require a great deal of storage and processing resources.
What is needed, therefore, is a electronic form generation and printing system that defines the design and definition of a form so that content data can be dynamically merged to produce a completed form suitable for printing.
What is further needed is a print generation system for a distributed network that can efficiently and quickly deconstruct form definitions and reconstruct printable form documents from the form definition data and content data.
An automatic graphical layout printing system for providing dynamic generation of populated electronic forms is described. In one embodiment of the present invention, a print generation system is employed in a distributed client server computer network to convert documents and data objects generated and managed in various different formats into a generic electronic form format for print output. The print generation system imports form and sample content data comprising a document or similar data object. The content data is extracted from the document to produce a stripped document along with metadata for the content data. The metadata defines the data field coordinates and data type information. The stripped document defines the graphical layout information for the document. New content data from a database or data store is merged with the stripped document based on the specifications set forth in the metadata. A printable document consisting of the merged stripped document and new content data is then generated. In one embodiment, the print output system employs the Portable Document Format (PDF) protocol to generate the final printable document.
Other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the accompanying drawings and from the detailed description that follows below.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements, and in which:
An automatic graphical layout printing system for the generation and printing of electronic forms is described. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be evident, however, to one of ordinary skill in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to facilitate explanation. The description of preferred embodiments is not intended to limit the scope of the claims appended hereto.
Aspects of the present invention may be implemented on one or more computers executing software instructions. According to one embodiment of the present invention, server and client computer systems transmit and receive data over a computer network or a fiber or copper-based telecommunications network. The steps of accessing, downloading, and manipulating the data, as well as other aspects of the present invention are implemented by central processing units (CPU) in the server and client computers executing sequences of instructions stored in a memory. The memory may be a random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), a persistent store, such as a mass storage device, or any combination of these devices. Execution of the sequences of instructions causes the CPU to perform steps according to embodiments of the present invention.
The instructions may be loaded into the memory of the server or client computers from a storage device or from one or more other computer systems over a network connection. For example, a client computer may transmit a sequence of instructions to the server computer in response to a message transmitted to the client over a network by the server. As the server receives the instructions over the network connection, it stores the instructions in memory. The server may store the instructions for later execution, or it may execute the instructions as they arrive over the network connection. In some cases, the downloaded instructions may be directly supported by the CPU. In other cases, the instructions may not be directly executable by the CPU, and may instead be executed by an interpreter that interprets the instructions. In other embodiments, hardwired circuitry may be used in place of, or in combination with, software instructions to implement the present invention. Thus, the present invention is not limited to any specific combination of hardware circuitry and software, nor to any particular source for the instructions executed by the server or client computers. In some instances, the client and server functionality may be implemented on a single computer platform.
Aspects of the present invention can be used in a distributed electronic commerce application that includes a client/server network system that links one or more server computers to one or more client computers, as well as server computers to other server computers and client computers to other client computers. The client and server computers may be implemented as desktop personal computers, workstation computers, mobile computers, portable computing devices, personal digital assistant (PDA) devices, or any other similar type of computing device.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the electronic form output process of the print generation system 112 converts the form or content data 122 into compact, multi-page PDF (Portable Document Format) files as output. The PDF file format, created by Adobe� Corp., was developed to provide a standard form for storing and editing printed publishable documents. Documents in .pdf format are generally easy to view and print on a variety of computer and platform types, and have become very common on the World Wide Web. To view files of this type, client computers run a reader program, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. Using such a program, PDF files can usually be read by any computer (Macintosh, Windows or UNIX) without platform conflicts. PDF files can be distributed over networks, such as on the World Wide Web, or through physical media, such as diskette or CD-ROM, or can be directly printed from a computer. A PDF file retains the formatting created for the page including fonts and graphics. Thus, PDF is a file format that represents documents in a manner that is independent of the original application software, hardware, and operating system used to create those documents. A PDF file can describe documents containing any combination of text, graphics, and images in a device-independent and resolution independent format.
For a network embodiment in which the client and server computers communicate over the World Wide Web portion of the Internet, the client computer 102 typically accesses the network through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) 107 and executes a web browser program 114 to display web content through web pages. In one embodiment, the web browser program is implemented using Microsoft� Internet Explorer� browser software, but other similar web browsers may also be used. Network 110 couples the client computer 102 to server computer 104, which executes a web server process 116 that serves web content in the form of web pages to the client computer. In addition, the system 100 may also include other networked servers, such as supplemental server 103.
In general, files, documents, drawings or any other type of data object generated, managed, and printed by the network system consist of information that defines the appearance of the document, and data that comprises the content of the document. The information that defines the appearance of the document generally consists of layout information that defines where the content data is located and how it is formatted. For example, an on-line calendar can consist of data entry fields defining days of the month in a particular graphical format that allows a user to input meeting or appointment information. The field definitions and their layout comprise the document data (i.e., data type definitions and graphical layout definitions), while the actual meeting or appointment information entered by the user comprises the content data. A completed on-line form thus comprises various different data types and data.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the print generation system 112 consists of sub-processes that deconstructs the data within a completed on-line form to produce a stripped form and merge new data into the stripped form to produce a new printable document. The print generation system includes an automatic coordination extraction system that parses out the information specifying the location of content data within the document, and a data mapping script engine that performs any script or program processing on the content data and puts the data in the appropriate locations of the stripped document. A graphical layout process then compiles the extracted format data with the processed data to produce a printable final document.
Typical on-line or electronic form or template-based documents comprise both graphical layout information and the actual content data. The content data may include different types of data, such as numbers, names, etc., and may be placed in specific places in the document. The data types and field locations for the document must therefore be defined. These definitions are referred to as �metadata� and represent information regarding the content data. In step 204, the content data is extracted from the document. This is typically performed by separating the metadata from the content data actually input in the data fields. If the content data is of no use, it may be discarded. In some cases, though it may be saved for later use or archive purposes. This extraction step 204 leaves a stripped form or document that contains the graphical layout information of the document. This graphical layout information consists of information such as form design and size, typeface and image appearance definitions (e.g., colors, fonts, and styles), and other similar layout information. The graphical layout information is parsed out and defined in step 206. The extraction step 204 also generates the metadata, which comprises rules or definitions regarding data types and the location of the data fields within the form (data field coordinates). The metadata is parsed out and defined in step 208.
Once the graphical layout and metadata for the stripped form is extracted, the form can be populated with new content data. This content data can be input from any source, such as a database or direct data entry by the user. In step 210, new content data is merged with the graphical layout information and the metadata. This produces a new populated form that can be printed or passed on for further processing, step 212.
A graphical overlay system 260 provides the merge function that merges the stripped document 256 and metadata 258 with new content 262. The new content is placed in the document according to rules defined by the metadata; that is, data of a specific type is placed in a particular place within the document according to the metadata rules. The layout and appearance of the merged document is dictated by the graphical layout information defined by the stripped document 256. The merge function 264 thus produces a new printable document 264.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the metadata generator process 254 and the graphical overlay system process 260 illustrated in flow diagram 250 are functional subprocesses executed within the print generation system 112 of
A graphic design tool 304 is used to preprocess the raw data/image input 302. This tool transforms the raw data into PDF files. The data is arranged in fields 307 within a PDF form file 306. This step generates a PDF form that is used to organize and present the data in a pre-defined form style. In general, PDF files contain field definitions that dictate the type of data in each field and the location of the fields on the page. In some cases the data field types and locations may be automatically provided within the PDF document. In other cases, a separate editor may be required to define the location and type of each data field.
After form designers finish the design of PDF forms, the forms are passed to metadata generator 308, which generates two different output files from the PDF form. These output files comprise a stripped form file 310 and a metadata file 312. The stripped form file 310 contains static information that is included in the final output product (such as page size, orientation, borders, and so on). The metadata files 312 contain metadata of dynamic information in the final output product. Such dynamic information includes information that defines the layout and appearance of the print output, such as, field names, field coordinates, font, font size, alignment, graphic type, and so on.
Separating the static and dynamic information at this early stage of the form output generation process optimizes the speed of processing and allows efficient use of memory resources. In general, PDF forms generated by the graphic design tool can be quite large in terms of file size. By stripping form field definitions, which are the dynamic portion of the output document, the file size can be significantly reduced, such as by a factor of ten. This represents a significant savings in memory and disk space utilized. In terms of processing time, significant performance gains can be achieved since form field definitions are separated out, thus leaving the stripped forms intact allowing processing only on the dynamic portion of our final printed document. In this manner, PDF files objects that are permanently defined (i.e., those that will not change) do not need to be loaded into the system.
For the embodiment illustrated in
The information regarding where to pull the data, the processing or format of the data, and where to put the data in the PDF form is stored by the script code generator in one or more mapping scripts 321. The mapping scripts 321 are interpreted by a script interpreter 322. A graphic overlaying system 314 takes the output of the script interpreter 322 and the stripped form information 310, and field metadata 312 to generate a printable output document. The graphic overlaying system 314 overlays the stripped forms 310 with data generated by script interpreter 322 in appropriate appearance and format. The content data that is input into the final output document is represented as data 324. This data can be stored and retrieved for input into system 300 from a variety of sources. The final printable output 316 that is generated by the graphic overlaying system 314 is then suitable for printing to an output device, such as local printer 120.
The automatic graphical layout printing system illustrated in
The print generation system can be used to generate generic on-line forms from existing forms, and then populate generic forms with new data. It can also be used to convert or define generic forms across different platforms, or modify the format of existing forms. The newly generated forms can then be populated and output to a printer.
Although specific embodiments of the present invention were described with reference to PDF file format documents and forms, it should be understood that other portable data file formats can also be used in conjunction with embodiments of the present invention.
In the foregoing, a system has been described for an automatic graphic layout printing system. Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments, it will be evident that various modifications and changes may be made to these embodiments without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims. Accordingly, the specification and drawings are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

From the Publisher. Behold: an opposites book like no other. Simple pairings of words, both expected (small/large) and unexpected (clear/blurry), are humorously illustrated with a graphic and lovable red hippopotamus. Bold colors and surprising die-cuts and textures spice up this elegantly engaging board book.
In her children's book debut, French graphic designer Janik Coat teaches the progeny of the design-inclined about opposites and basic spatial, dimensional, and aesthetic vocabulary through a minimalist red hippo-hero, who remains charmingly catatonic throughout the book. With unexpected parallels and contrasts and a simple semiotic sensibility, Coat explores fundamental concepts in simple yet whimsical ways.

Butterfly ID needed
Hello everyone,
its been forever since ive post here.... been quite busy. :/
can anyone id this butterfly for me?
thanks much,
I think you've got yourself this.
Here is a link that might be useful: Danaid Eggfly
Thanks very much for the ID Larry. Do you know what are the host plants for the Mimic butterfly? I want to have more of them in my garden!!
Hey Miss Sherry.... it was actually a humming bird :D
Give credit for the ID to Cresphontes; Mimic is another common name for Danaid Eggfly, or Hypolimnas misippus.
The HOSTs database only has two hostplant entries for our hemisphere:
Ipomoea Puerto Rico
Portulaca oleracea Puerto Rico
Thanks cresphontes!!!
Thanks Larry, so regular garden morning glory vines should work?
Portulaca oleracea is a common plant in my area but its dreadful looking. i was doing some research and saw they also use the portulaca grandiflora... but that was only on one website. do you know if this is true or false?
thanks for your assistance.
Hostplants in the Caribbean for this butterfly do not seem as well documented as for major continents.
Oftentimes a butterfly will use several hostplant species of a genus, so morning glory and the other Portulaca might work.
Perhaps your islands are small enough that you can confirm these plants usage during field trips?

During the demonstration of clairvoyance, the medium will pick out people in the congregation, one at a time, and will pass on information that is being given to him/her by the spirit people. This is evidence to prove their survival. The types of evidence given are names, places they have lived, work, hobbies, personality, memories known only to the spirit person and the recipient, and other information. The more specific the information, the better is the evidence. If you receive a message, you should only answer the medium with a yes or no. If you tell them anything, it may be something the spirit person wishes to say, and then the opportunity for giving that evidence is lost. You will often find the chairperson instructing the congregation not to feed the medium, and this is what they are referring to, not saying that mediums should be starved!
Every demonstration of mediumship has to be always regarded as an experiment, as specific results can not be promised. However we do not ask you to be gullible! Be objective in assessing evidence, but do come to the meeting with an open mind, and with love in your heart. Mediums are susceptible to vibrations and find it harder to work in a hostile atmosphere. If you do not get the evidence at your first visit, give spiritualism a chance, and come again. You will always be welcome.

This drug-abuse PSA from 1972 fascinated me as a kid. It's much better than any contemporary PSA about drug abuse.
(Via World's Best Ever)
Federal data to be released this week through the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that drug overdose deaths rose for the 11th year in a row. Most were accidents involving prescription painkillers: specifically, opioids like OxyContin and Vicodin which are commonly prescribed for pain management, and are widely abused. Those two drugs contributed to 3 out of 4 medication overdose deaths, according to the report.
Not one single death in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data set was due to overdosing on marijuana.
Dose Nation lauds it an "amazing turd of institutional anti-drug propaganda."
Tony Papa says: "A very interesting story about how a liberal U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy who has a drug addiction problem suddenly becomes an outspoken opponent of the legalization of marijuana."
"It's almost 'Reefer Madness'-type stuff about marijuana he's saying," said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the New York-based Drug Policy Alliance. "There's something remarkable about Patrick Kennedy deciding to go after users of a drug that is by almost all accounts less dangerous than the drugs he struggled with. Where Patrick Kennedy could have made a really important contribution is by saying that we need a responsible public health model for dealing with legal marijuana."
SF Gate reports that Kennedy wants to send pot smokers to education camps:
Pot opponents regroup following Wash., Colo. votes
Oxycontin addict, alcoholic, and former Rhode Island rep. Patrick Kennedy has come out with a startling, new plan to oppose pot legalization in the United States: round up potheads and re-educate them in camps.
Kennedy's communist reeducation scheme is being billed as Project SAM, standing for Smart Approaches to Marijuana, and it launched today in Denver, CO. Project SAM's stated goals are to create laws that would "funnel marijuana users to interventions or treatment" and deny medical marijuana to cancer and AIDS patients in favor of something that pharmaceutical corporations can profit from.
Tony Papa says:
In a full-page ad in today's New York Times, the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) thanks the citizens of Washington and Colorado for voting to legally regulate and tax marijuana—signaling "the beginning of the end for the costly and unjust war on drugs." The ad, created by Fenton, also recognizes US Presidents Clinton and Carter, NY Governor Cuomo, President Santos of Colombia, and other political leaders for their efforts to end the war on drugs. The headline: "80 Years After the End of Prohibition, Prohibition is Finally Coming to An End."
Below is the text of the ad:
80 Years After the End of Prohibition, Prohibition is Finally Coming to an End
Voters in Washington and Colorado made history on Election Day when they voted to legally regulate and tax marijuana. Their votes signaled the beginning of the end for the costly and unjust war on drugs.
Thank you to the citizens of Washington and Colorado.
The Drug Policy Alliance is especially proud of this milestone, as we worked for years to make this historic day happen.
We'd also like to thank: President Bill Clinton for acknowledging the drug war's futility and failure; President Jimmy Carter and Pat Robertson for saying it's time to legalize marijuana; Governor Christie for calling the drug war a failure and Governor Cuomo for working to end New York's racially discriminatory marijuana arrest crusade; Congressmen Ron Paul and Barney Frank for introducing the first bill to end federal marijuana prohibition; Presidents Santos (Colombia), Pérez Molina (Guatemala) and Mujica (Uruguay) for breaking the taboo on alternatives to drug prohibition; and, most of all, our many allies around the world for demanding no more drug war.
We strive for the day when drug policies are no longer motivated by ignorance, fear and prejudice but rather by science, compassion, fiscal prudence and human rights, with education and treatment available for everyone. Help us fight the good fight by making a tax deductible donation.
Ethan Nadelmann, director of the Drug Policy Alliance, responds to Obama's marijuana legalization comments this morning. tldr; "Obama is sort of heading in the right direction."
Tony Papa of the Drug Policy Alliance says, "Breaking the Taboo, a film narrated by Morgan Freeman about the global drug war, is premiering in December. This is my quote from the film which sums up the insanity of the war on drugs in one sentence: 'If you can't control drug use in a maximum security prison how could you control drugs in a freee society?'"
Narrated by Morgan Freeman, this groundbreaking new documentary uncovers the UN sanctioned war on drugs, charting its origins and its devastating impact on countries like the USA, Colombia and Russia. Featuring prominent statesmen including Presidents Clinton and Carter, the film follows The Global Commission on Drug Policy on a mission to break the political taboo and expose the biggest failure of global policy in the last 50 years.If you can't control drug use in a maximum security prison how could you control drugs in a free society?
In July, Salon's Matthew Yglesias wrote an article about the price of legal marijuana, which is even more interesting now that Colorado and Washington have legalized cannabis for recreational use.
How cheaply could pot be grown with advanced farming techniques? One potential data point is Canada's industrial hemp industry, where production costs are about $500 per acre. If the kind of mid-grade commercial weed that accounts for about 80 percent of the U.S. market could be grown that cheaply, it implies costs of about 20 cents per pound of smokable material: Enough pot to fill more than 800 modest-sized half-gram joints for less than a quarter!. Those numbers are probably optimistic, since in practice recreational marijuana is grown from more expensive transplanted clones rather than from seeds. Even so, the authors note that "production costs for crops that need to be transplanted, such as cherry tomatoes and asparagus, are generally in the range of $5,000-$20,000 per acre." That implies costs of less than $20 per pound for high-grade sensimilla and less than $5 a pound for mid-grade stuff. Another way of looking at it, suggested by California NORML Director Dale Gieringer, is that we should expect legal pot to cost about the same amount as "other legal herbs such as tea or tobacco," something perhaps "100 times lower than the current prevailing price of $300 per ounce—or a few cents per joint."
This would make pot far and away the cheapest intoxicant on the market, absolutely blowing beer and liquor out of the water. Joints would be about as cheap as things that are often treated as free. Splenda packets, for example, cost 2 or 3 cents each when purchased in bulk.
I wonder how much money the liquor industry is going to contribute in their attempt to get these cannabis laws overturned?Get High for Free
An excellent long read on the growing phenomenon of prescription drug overdoses in Southern California, which a Los Angeles Times investigative team reports "now claim more lives than heroin and cocaine combined, fueling a doubling of drug-related deaths in the United States over the last decade."
Health and law enforcement officials seeking to curb the epidemic have focused on how OxyContin, Vicodin, Xanax and other potent pain and anxiety medications are obtained illegally, such as through pharmacy robberies or when teenagers raid their parents' medicine cabinets. Authorities have failed to recognize how often people overdose on medications prescribed for them by their doctors.
A Los Angeles Times investigation has found that in nearly half of the accidental deaths from prescription drugs in four Southern California counties, the deceased had a doctor's prescription for at least one drug that caused or contributed to the death. Reporters identified a total of 3,733 deaths from prescription drugs from 2006 through 2011 in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura and San Diego counties.
Not one of them was from marijuana, which remains a schedule 1 narcotic and is responsible for zero overdose deaths because one cannot die from a marijuana overdose.

Drug Policy Alliance Executive Director Ethan Nadelmann discusses the legalization of marijuana with Trish Regan on Bloomberg Television's "Street Smart."
At PBS NewsHour, Jenny Marder has a truly epic report on so-called "bath salts," a term commonly used to refer to a variable cocktail of drugs linked to a number of violent episodes throughout the US. Her investigative feauture is the most extensive and authoritative I've seen on the topic, a long read full of the stuff that makes great reporting great: nitty-gritty chemistry mysteries, personal stories about the people who use the drug, and big-picture questions about why the stuff is so widely available, and why it seems to be so destructive. Don't miss the slide shows and video that accompany the beautifully laid-out feature. There's even an instructional animated gif!
Users are often hyper-agitated, hot and sweating, she said. Their heart rate is dangerously high, their blood pressure is up, and seizures are common. Often even high doses of common sedatives don't help them. Doctors instead must turn to antipsychotics or other powerful medications.
Early on, doctors began noticing something else that was strange. Compared with other drugs, bath salts didn't follow a normal dose-response pattern. With cocaine or methamphetamine, the drug entered the bloodstream, and, within hours, began to wear off. Not so for bath salts. "Some patients were in the hospital for 5 days, 10 days, 14 days," Ryan said. "In some cases, they were under heavy sedation. As you try to taper off the sedation, the paranoia came back and the delusions."
As Ryan was scrambling to grasp the scope of the problem in Louisiana, scientists 1,000 miles away were beginning to tease out the drug's chemistry. What was it about this substance, they wondered, that could make a man cut his own throat or a mother leave her 2-year-old in the middle of a highway?

(Disclosure: I've worked with Jenny before, on PBS Newshour stories with science correspondent Miles O'Brien).
The election of the first black US president offered hope to millions of African Americans across the country. But have four years of an Obama presidency seen positive change for black communities in the US' inner cities? Fault Lines' Sebastian Walker spends time with those on the front lines of the failed drug war to understand some fundamental dynamics of race, poverty, incarceration and economic truths in the US in an election year."Don't ever think it's a war on drugs. It's a war on the blacks. It started as a war on the blacks and it's now spread to Hispanics and poor whites… it was designed to take that energy coming out of the civil rights movement and destroy it," says Ed Burns, co creator of The Wire, who is interviewed in the program.

Here's an interview with Doug Fine, author of Too High to Fail: Cannabis and the New Green Economic Revolution.
"How can you have 56 percent of Americans in support of fully ending the drug war, and zero senators in support of it?" asks Doug Fine, investigative journalist and author of new book, Too High To Fail.
Fine sat down with ReasonTV's Tracy Oppenheimer to discuss his time spent in the cannabis capital of California, Mendocino County, and why he thinks this drug can help save the American economy. And it's not just about collecting taxes.
"The industrial [uses] may one day dwarf the psychoactive ones. If we start using it for fermentation for our energy needs, it can produce great biofuels," says Fine, "already, cannabis is in the bumpers of Dodge Vipers."
I interviewed Doug in July about his book. Read it here.
How Cannabis Can Revolutionize Our Economy: Author Doug Fine on "Too High To Fail"
Tony Papa of the Drug Policy Alliance says:
Millions of people have died of AIDS because of bad drug policy – and millions more lives hang in the balance.
The International AIDS Conference will be held in the U. S. for the first time in 22 years this July 22-27, in Washington DC. Activists, public health professionals, and distinguished world leaders are mobilizing in Washington with a clear message: the criminalization of people who use drugs – and especially backward government policies that restrict syringe access – are driving the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Throughout the world, research has consistently shown that drug criminalization forces people who use drugs away from public health services and into hidden environments where HIV risks become significantly elevated. Mass incarceration of nonviolent drug offenders also plays a major role in spreading the pandemic, as inhumane conditions and lack of HIV prevention or treatment measures in prison lead to HIV outbreaks and AIDS cases behind bars – and among families and communities once those imprisoned are released.
Yet in countries where addiction is treated as a health issue, the fight against HIV/AIDS is being won. New HIV infections in countries such as Australia, Germany and Switzerland have been virtually eliminated among people who use drugs, just as mother-to-child HIV transmission has been eliminated in countries that make medicines for pregnant women accessible.
In the United States, however, the federal government has resisted evidence-based HIV prevention strategies – costing us hundreds of thousands of lives and billions of dollars. Congress re-instated a longstanding ban last December that prohibits using federal funds for syringe access programs – a move that will cost thousands of more lives in years to come.Want to know more about the drug war and AIDS? Check out the infographic and take action by urging Congress to end the syringe access funding ban.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals told the DEA that holding a gun to an 11-year-old girl's head constitutes "intentional infliction of emotional distress," and they should stop doing it. No doubt the DEA will appeal the ruling.
At 7 a.m. on January 20, 2007, DEA agents battered down the door to Thomas and Rosalie Avina's mobile home in Seeley, California, in search of suspected drug trafficker Louis Alvarez. Thomas Avina met the agents in his living room and told them they were making a mistake. Shouting "Don't you fucking move," the agents forced Thomas Avina to the floor at gunpoint, and handcuffed him and his wife, who had been lying on a couch in the living room. As the officers made their way to the back of the house, where the Avina's 11-year-old and 14-year-old daughters were sleeping, Rosalie Avina screamed, "Don't hurt my babies. Don't hurt my babies."
The agents entered the 14-year-old girl's room first, shouting "Get down on the fucking ground." The girl, who was lying on her bed, rolled onto the floor, where the agents handcuffed her. Next they went to the 11-year-old's room. The girl was sleeping. Agents woke her up by shouting "Get down on the fucking ground." The girl's eyes shot open, but she was, according to her own testimony, "frozen in fear." So the agents dragged her onto the floor. While one agent handcuffed her, another held a gun to her head.
Moments later the two daughters were carried into the living room and placed next to their parents on the floor while DEA agents ransacked their home. After 30 minutes, the agents removed the children's handcuffs. After two hours, the agents realized they had the wrong house—the product of a sloppy license plate transcription --and left.
Reason -- Ninth Circuit to DEA: putting a gun to an 11-Year-Old's head is not OK

The Drug Policy Alliance is producing powerful videos about people who have been entrapped by the NYPD on pot possession charges using a "stop-and-frisk" stunt.
[Video Link] Andre was charged with criminal possession of marijuana burning in public view in December of 2011 after being illegally searched by the police while walking with his friend. While his friend possessed a small amount of marijuana in his shoe, Andre didn't have any marijuana but was still falsely charged and illegally arrested for burning marijuana in public. Andre, who has no prior record, took his case to trial and was found not guilty of smoking marijuana in public view. Although many people arrested for marijuana possession are charged with crimes they did not commit, most do not fight their charges in court because of the laborious process of navigating the criminal justice system.
[Video Link] Colyssa was charged with criminal possession marijuana burning in public view and child endangerment when the police falsely charged and arrested her for smoking marijuana in front of her house in December of 2011. Six months later, Colyssa is still fighting her cases in court has not regained custody of her baby. Collateral consequences such as getting evicted from public housing, losing access to financial aid for school, or losing or being denied a job, and even deportation are common occurrences that happen after the arrest takes place.

Despite Obama's promises during the 2008 campaign, federal prosecutors have lost faith in the ability of state and local officials to control a booming commercial industry for a drug that is still illegal to grow, possess or sell under federal law. As a result, a once broad exemption from prosecution for medical marijuana providers in state where it's legal has been narrowed to a tiny one.

Mark blogged yesterday about Daniel Chong, a 23-year-old college student in San Diego who was detained by the Drug Enforcement Administration on "420 day" without charges, then abandoned in a holding cell for 5 days with no food or water. He drank his own urine in an effort to stave off fatal dehydration.
Today, he received an apology from the DEA. The Associated Press reports that "San Diego Acting Special Agent-In-Charge William R. Sherman said in a statement that he was troubled by the treatment of Daniel Chong and extended his 'deepest apologies' to him."
Chong's attorney says that's not enough. They intend to sue for $20 million. From the Los Angeles Times:

Readers' Feedback: "Free the Kidnapped Israeli Teens"
by: Rabbi Michael Lerner on June 25th, 2014 | 4 Comments »
To understand these responses it is best to read or re-read my article "Free the Kidnapped Israeli Teens" from earlier this week.
The responses mostly fall into one of 3 categories:
a. They liked the article very much (so I'm not going to print a lot of those).
b. They were annoyed that I even mentioned the suffering of other kidnap victims around the world, and especially annoyed at my referencing tens of thousands of Palestinians who have been kidnapped (albeit supposedly "legally") and incarcerated for weeks or months without trial or formal charges, some even tortured, and many of these were Palestinian teens arrested near their own homes.
c. They were annoyed that I didn't emphasize the suffering and oppression of the Palestinian people.
I'm still curious about your reactions. If you haven't sent me your response to my article, now it would be best to respond in part by responding to the letters we received below in this small but representative sample. I also invite you to read my recent book Embracing Israel/Palestine (order it for Kindle through Amazon, or hard copy at www.tikkun.org/EIP). Send your responses to me: firstname.lastname@example.com
Warm regards and Shabbat Shalom!

As a recent transplant to Great Bend, getting to know the area and the people has been a constant activity for the past year and a half. So, when a copy of Dog of the Afterworld by Leon Unruh made it to my desk, I was intrigued.
Each week we'll take a step back into the history of Great Bend through the eyes of reporters past. We'll reacquaint you with what went into creating the Great Bend of today, and do our best to update you on what "the rest of the story" turned out to be.
Earlier this month, a group of five Tribune employees, me included, took up the Club 1 Fitness Challenge, and are working on changing the food we eat to develop healthier lifestyles. Okay--we're on a diet. But you're not supposed to say "diet" anymore, right? But we're working on coming up with good tasting, easy to make dishes. With this in mind, I'm extending that to the meals I make my family and friends.
Student volunteers from Great Bend High School delivered new books to the libraries of each of Great Bend's elementary schools Monday morning. It was one way Martin Luther King Day was celebrated, because as Linn Hogg with Volunteers In Action said, King believed all people should work hard to get the best education they could.
After just three years in business, Bullseye Pipe Supply LLC managers Todd Clark and Cortenay Damm are excited about the growth the company has seen recently thanks to oil exploration in Colorado. Last week, they delivered one of their largest orders yet, a 12 tank battery of 400 barrel tanks headed for northern Colorado, near the Brighton and Greeley area.
Art is in the eye of the beholder, and it's hard to deny the emotion and intrigue present in the photo art produced by Great Bend artist Stephen McAnulla. Industry leader Wacom, makers of digital creative tools that allow artists to sketch, draw, paint digitally, will feature McAnulla as part of a panel of experts in an upcoming one-hour online seminar where he will share some of his work.

Now that the trees and bushes have lost their leaves, and a blanket of snow covers the ground, it's a great time to get out and spot wildlife. While in Barton County, we don't have to go far -- the nearest field, trail, or windbreak -- because of it's proximity to water and food, the Cheyenne Bottoms is guaranteed to be a good place to see native species and start identifying tracks.

Looking ahead to tomorrow at noon, when all the Christmas gifts have been opened, an unsung ritual will take place across the area. While the kids play busily with new toys, parents will be folding tissue paper and gift bags to stash for next year, and gathering wrapping paper and stuffing it into the giant sack that will later be carried to the curb with all the other debris that inevitably comes with Christmas morning.

This week in 1955, US Customs seized copies of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" as obscene. A year later, it was judged to be not obscene. The song, "Ballad of Davy Crockett" became the top record in the US, and "On the Waterfront," starring Marlon Brando and Grace Kelly won at the 27th Academy Awards.
Arriving at Heartland Farm early Wednesday morning, volunteers were greeted by Lenny and Lilly, the pair of part Brittany, part blue heeler dogs that guard the Dominican Sisters of Peace homestead a few miles north of Pawnee Rock. Twice a year, they trim toenails and perform dental care on their herd of 18 alpacas. While sister Jane admits the process could be managed with two people, the more hands the better.

Last week, videos of a fight that occurred at Great Bend High School went viral. That means that it was seen by so many people, it was picked up by several online magazines and is now circulating worldwide through their subscribers. These magazines failed to follow up with even a little bit of reporting. They rushed to post the videos, and assigned "talking heads" to tell viewers what they are watching without regard for the facts.

After months of practice and improving technique, dance competition season has arrived. Members of Euphoria Dance Center's competition team attended Bravo Regional Dance Competition at Maize High School Feb. 28 through March 1. Members with less than two years competition experience or less than two hours of weekly studio time competed in the "overture" class. Many of these students fall into the under 14-years-old categories, though there are some late comers who have shown a great deal of dedication to their art and are ready for competition. The dances included solos, trios, and small group numbers.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
B.C. teachers are not Anne Franks
VANCOUVER -- Whatever the outcome of their ugly wage dispute, British Columbia teachers have to decide whether they want to be viewed as professionals... or professional rabble-rousers.
They've got to start toning down their over-the-top rhetoric about Bill 22, the back-to-work law, and other labour contract issues. At least if they want the public respect they insist they deserve.
Comparing teachers' treatment by the B.C. legislature to that of the Jews by Hitler and the Nazis, for example, works against the very thing they say they're fighting for.
Yes, Wendy Turner, president of the Cranbrook District Teachers Association, wrote to The Province to say that, as a child, she'd read Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl and had asked her parents: "How could they do this to people?"
Her parents told her it was because the German people didn't realize what was happening until it was too late. "Why was it too late?" she apparently asked. "Because by then it was the law!"
Turner said she'd forgotten those words until she realized "history was repeating itself" with the Liberals using legislation "to legitimize their stripping away of employment rights for a targeted group of people -- teachers."
Now, in the field of rhetoric, there's something called the fallacy of single similarity. It's when two different things are claimed to be the same because of one way in which they're alike.
Only an educational zealot, however, could find even a single point of similarity between Frank's wartime predicament and that of today's pampered B.C. teachers -- who aren't forced to hide out from racist authorities to avoid death or starvation in concentration camps.
Sadly, though, some of our unionized teachers seem to live in a world of exaggeration, with an exaggerated sense of their own importance.
Susan Lambert, newly re-elected president of the B.C. Teachers Federation, talks about how Bill 22's impact is "devastating."
Devastating? Devastating is losing a child or having family members wiped out by war. It's not being told you'll have a net-zero wage mandate for a couple of years after receiving generous wage hikes for the last five.
Teachers need to get a grip. They must also start realizing that insulting hardened scribblers such as me about everything from my manhood to my imagined indifference to the evils of child labour -- as teacher "Bill" did -- is unprofessional and counter-productive.
"It's people like you Jon that will cause the end of mankind because you are ignorant," he wrote. "If you were smart, like teachers, you would realize that before anything and I mean ANYTHING, (health included) there is NOTHING more important than education."
Well, I guess it all depends what kind of EDUCATION he's talking about. In Bill's case, and that of other egotistical teachers, a little schooling is clearly a dangerous thing.
Jon Ferry is a columnist with
the Vancouver Province.

However if the community doesn't like it as a harvester, and you decide to create a new model for it, how about changing this slightly for a mutant transport vehicle? Maybe lengthen the model, re-skin, and make it a futuristic battle bus? I know the 'battle bus' has been done in generals and cnc4, so maybe a different name, but it would make the mutants even more of a useful force, although, if any more mutant units are added, they can soon be referred to as a true mini-faction!
