Thorns and Roses: 11.16.07
King to Chavez: 'Shut up'
Juan Carlos, the king of Spain, uttered the words that a lot of leaders and citizens in Latin America, and even in Washington, D.C., have been yearning to hear. "Why don't you shut up," the king told Venezuela's voluble president Hugo Chavez on Saturday.
Chavez. attending an Ibero-American summit in Chile, had just finished calling former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar a "fascist," an extremist tone but which has become the usual for the bombastic Chavez.
Jose Luiz Rodriguez Zapatero, the current Spanish prime minister, is far to the left of the conservative Aznar, but he went to the defense of his predecessor, saying Aznar had been the choice of the Spanish people, an admirable defense of the democratic process.
But Chavez, who is trying to install himself as president for life, wouldn't stop his attack. Apparently, no longer able to suffer any more, the royal head looked down the row of assembled dignitaries and told Chavez, "Why don't you shut up."
Garlands of ROSES for the wise king for dispensing with the niceties of diplomatic talk and speaking straight to South America's loudest buffoon.
Thorns for coaches
THORNS to Texas Tech coach Mike Leach and Wyoming football coach Joe Glenn for unsportsmanslike conduct.
After seeing his team get beat 59-43 by the Texas Longhorns, Leach publicly blamed the loss on -- what else? -- biased officiating, not the fact that the Raiders couldn't stop the other guys from putting up 59 points.
For his part, Glenn was at least apologetic about his bone-headed display during Wyoming's game against Utah. Watching the Utes try an on-side kick even though they led by 43 points, Glenn flashed an obscene gesture towards the opposing side. And Utah coach Kyle Whittingham didn't cover himself with glory, either; give him a THORN, too.

Raw Opium: The Best Documentary of the Year
CANNABIS CULTURE - The world is in a state of decay thanks in part to the USA government and its greedy policies. Those destructive policies include the county's hypocritical approach to fighting drugs.
Raw Opium, a new documentary directed by Canadian Peter Findlay, focuses on a fascinating plant and its derivatives: Papaver somniferum, from where the poppy seeds and opium are extracted.
Opium has been used by humanity for centuries for medicinal and recreational purposes; the oldest medicine known to man. From queens and artists to peasants and doctors, throughout history, opium has been indulged by people from all walks of life. It is quite possible that even you have taken it at one point in the form of a pill.
The documentary explores the history of opium and its uses in modern medicine – such as morphine or codeine – and its dangers. Despite its beneficial uses, opium also can be very addictive, especially in the form of heroine; the dark side of the opiates.
The crew went to some of the hot-spots of cultivation and traffic of the poppy seed. The Doc takes us to Sari Gor in Tajikistan, one of the main entrances of drugs coming from Afghanistan. The documentary also follows the previous Drug enforcement higher officer of India to Arunchal Padesh in the Northwest part of the country where whole villages live off the cultivation of poppies. Without them, they would be ruined.
But the camera also points close to home in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES) with a success story of Derek, who used the services provided by Insite, a clinic where heroin addicts can inject safely under medical supervision.
"I didn't have an agenda when I started the project," Findlay told a packed Pacific Cinematheque. "We tried to contextualize things and put them into perspective. I really didn't have an opinion until I saw all these things for myself, and I have seen that the prohibition and criminalization of addicts only marginalize people and make things worse for the society, 40 years of prohibition hasn't worked."
On the brighter side, the filmmakers also travel to Portugal, a country where all drugs are legal and addicts no longer have to fear jail time. They are instead referred to services that deal with harm reduction. Portugal treats drug addiction as a health problem, not a criminal one, and has now decreased the number of overdoses, users, and epidemics related to syringe use, and less young people are drawn to opiates.
All these successful results are happening not only in Portugal; in Vancouver's DTES, a number of studies have been conducted that also show remarkable results. The story is similar with results showing less mortality, fewer health issues, and less crime. Nevertheless, Canada's Conservative government has tried twice to shut down Insite, which operates under an exemption of the law.
Watch the trailer of Raw Opium on YouTube.
The film's cinematography is excellent as well; it manages to capture the beauty of nature, but also successfully expresses the emotions and political direction of the film. The images convey the hope and the realization that everything could be solved if we convince the top politicians to abandon their ideological taboos in favor of science and compassion.
Gabor Mate, a doctor that specializes in hardcore cases of drug addiction in DTES, states in the film that addicts are sick and need compassion and understanding to get better. He blames the government for not giving the necessary support to help rehabilitate them. The film has a happy ending; it follows one of the heroin users of Insite, Derek, who has been clean for months after three attempts of detox. The compelling interviews with experts (even the DEA) shed light into the intricate world of global politics, where the illegality of drugs serves to finance wars and enrich the few.
The documentary is packed with information, and I would love to see people that are not knowledgeable on the issue or that have prejudices on drug addicts to watch this film.
The film was followed by a post-screening discussion with Rebecca Ambrose, owner of the Vancouver Seed Bank; Dr. Ronald Joe, medical manager for Inner City Addiction with Vancouver Coastal Health and one of the interviewees in the film; and Peter Findlay, the filmmaker.
I asked their opinions of the underlying reasons for keeping drugs illegal in light of the obvious failure of the War on Drugs and the success of compassionate approaches to harm reduction. Is it really ideological?
Findlay seems to think so, but he also adds the strong pharmaceutical lobby that profits from the exclusivity of processing the natural components into manufacturing pills. They didn't disagree with other possible reasons, like control of people and profit through harsh punishment of drug users. The United States government turns a blind eye to production when it finances loyal dictators or guerillas but in the USA, every 18 seconds somebody is charge with a drug offense. Why is the government doing this to the US population instead of helping them? Why are they giving an exclusive product to the mafias and cartels? The director called it a hypocritical approach.
The documentary might not answer every relevant question but it sure gives you a great picture of a simple plant with complicated role in the world.

HIllary Clinton on Drugs
"...In what will likely be seen as something of a Freudian slip by the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton said recently in a Mexican news interview that the United States cannot legalize drugs as a means of fighting the black market because "there is just too much money in it."
Asked by Denise Maerker of Televisa what she thought of drug legalization, Clinton said it was unlikely to work.
"There is just too much money in it," Clinton said."
RE: Hillary Clinton on Drugs
Absolutely correct, Lee Eisenstein!
HRC was raised a Republican, and was a Republican through college. IIRC, she 'converted' when she hooked up with Slick Willy (himself no liberal Democrat). Looks like HRC's current position within the Obama regime lets her get her somewhat repressed Right Wing Authoritarianism into everyones' faces 5X5. The entire Obama regime is RWA, with perhaps the exception of Elizabeth Warren.
Look what they're doing with Police State tactics, overseas wars, war on (some) drugs, etcetera -- Fascists, if you ask me ...
Opium consumption in Afghanistan
Due to the lack of health care in Afghanistan each person over 45 yrs old is given a free ounce of TAR OPIUM a month to cure there ills.
I lived there in the 1970's and it was no problem for them.
They are also the best producers of hash!
Thankyou Afghanistan for creating fantastic cannabis indica!

That is so sweet! There are so many examples of compassion between animals of different species. Why do humans think they are the only animals capable of such feelings and actions?

US Approves Marc Emery's Transfer Home to Canada
CANNABIS CULTURE - The US government has approved a prisoner transfer application for Marc Emery, the Canadian marijuana activist serving a five year sentence in the US for selling marijuana seeds to fund pot legalization activism.
The transfer must also be approved by Canadian authorities before Emery would be eligible to return to Canada.
Emery's legal council has confirmed to his wife Jodie that US authorities have approved his transfer home.
"It's great news that the US Department of Justice has approved Marc's transfer home," Jodie Emery told Cannabis Culture. "I hope the Canadian Conservative government quickly approves the paperwork on their end so it becomes official and Marc can come home to Canada."
Canadian authorities have, so far, made no comment.
Watch Cannabis Culture for more breaking information about Marc's possible transfer home.

Read about this story at the CBC, the Montreal Gazette, the Metro, the Surrey North Delta Leader, and the Vancouver Sun.
Congratulations and thank you, Marc and Jodie!!
Congratulations Marc and Jodie!!!
Thank you for all that you've sacrificed. No doubt your efforts have been one of the primary reasons that the U.S. is on the fast track toward legalization. Countless lives will be improved due to your efforts, and billions of dollars will be taken from the pockets of corporate thugs who are currently profiting from the war on drug users.
When legalization does happen, your names will be at the top of the list of people who made it possible.
Thank you,
Average American pothead
Be less ignorant. It would be
Be less ignorant. It would be appreciated by all
Keep Canadian politics away
Keep Canadian politics away from America, I dont support those who supported bad cannabis laws in Washington and Colorado...honest people are getting arrested at an I creasing rate for dui, which Jodie lobbied hard to get and in a country she doesn't live in....STICK TO CANADA, LEAVE AMERICA FOR AMERICANS WHO LIVE HERE AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE FUCKED UP LAWS.
Is this more crying from the failed Sensible crowd?
You know, I volunteered my time for your efforts before I502 was ever spoken about. But the lack of money and organization doomed Sensible Wa's effort from the beginning.
So I then volunteered my time and money for I502. Is it perfect? No. But legalization had to start somewhere.
Stop crying, and start working toward making things MORE legal.
Have you ever thought of
Have you ever thought of writing your memoirs?
by fucked up laws... you must
by fucked up laws... you must be talking about the American global prohibition of marijuana. I suppose we could leave it alone if it was an American only prohibition. The problem is the Americans are the ones who think they need to govern what adults do in the privacy of their own homes in other countries. So I guess if you want to fuck with us and tell us what to do with our minds and bodies. Then we will be forced to fuck with your stupid ignorant fucked up war on drugs or "war on personal freedoms". As for duis every one knows that social pressure is what really reduces the rate of duis. Not slapping people with criminal records dumbass
That's great, and surprising
That's great, and surprising news. I guess he no longer poses the threat to society he did a couple of year ago. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the Canadian government turns him down. After all, they gave him up to the US in the first place.
Great News
They may try to keep Marc in jail a little longer but when he gets out they know he will be a very powerful force for legalisation. I am so grateful for Marc's sacrifice and the patience and dedication of his wife Jodie. Can't wait to see what he does as a free man. Thanks again to all of you involved in this
I can't wait to hear from him
I'm really glad my government has approved his transfer. I miss hearing his thoughts and opinions on pot and the drug war. An I look forward to what he has planned for the movement when he goes back to Canada. As well as the musical performance with Tommy Chong that Jodie's been talking about.
Congratulations! It Can't Happen Soon Enough
There is a double standard when it comes to the justice system. A defendant is obligated by law to tell the truth yet lawyers, judges, police, the judiciary are not held to the same standards and can outright lie to you. And very often do. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. If you don't know the law then how can you tell if what the professionals are saying to you is a lie or a truth?
Good news for Marc.I
Good news for Marc.I personally wrote President Obama in the past and asked him to free my friend.I like to believe that my little infinitesimal marijuana activism helped a little bit there.So, ACTIVISTS : never loose hope.Your tiny little contribution can make things go very far and in the end change the world
Marc: You have one foot out the door.
This is great news and a long time coming. Marc and Jodie must feel like they just won the lottery but will have to wait a while to collect. Dealing with the system is an exorcise in frustration to put it mildly. Let's hope that our mean spirited government has a heartbeat and doesn't prolong something that should have never happened to begin with. We are all still fighting for freedom from the control of religious ideology which our morality laws are based on although the majority of us Canadians are secular, but spiritual in our own way which doesn't make people like The Emery's and the rest of us bad people. The exact opposite.
Great news.
That's fantastic. Congratulations to both of you.
Congratulations Marc!
Jody and Marc;
Just saw the news. I am so joyful beyond words. "the times they are a changing"
hugs to you both,
THANKS MARC - A step into the history books!
Congratulations Marc, I've been a fan and supporter for a long while. Damn I wish I'd been a billionaire and bankrolled your initial fight, but shit that's just history now.
A slightly nicer collection of cellmates may wait you at home, but don't worry the wait won't be too long before the masses really start to notice your case as cannabis is progressively legalized in the USA (following the resounding successes {lack of change + heaps of tax $$$} in Colarado and Washington) - followed by Canada, Spain, Australia, U.K. etc who are all swaying one way and another with conservative politicians battling the majority/changing opinion (in most countries) of the masses to stop wasting money with persecution and start making it to hand back to the people rather than supporting organized criminals all the way to the level of terrorism!
You paid your honest earned tax $$$ legally selling (in your country) one of the healthiest foods known to humankind and was extradited for it to another country for their citizens petty crimes!
History forgets and distorts many things, but this won't be one of them - your deeds to humankind will benefit humankind in eternity...
Thanks Marc, if only more people had your courage...
Congrats Marc History will
Congrats Marc
History will remember you as one of the fighters for freedom.
The persecutors will not be remembered.
American Dept. of justice---what a evil joke it is.
How long before the Cdn govt gives an answer?
As the subject heading say: How long before our pos federal govt gives their answer?
Someone commented that the Cdn govt will have to say yes since the American govt said yes -and in effect is saying: "Take him back now".
So how long before we know?
U.S. Plain Old Wrong
This excerpt from High Times illustrates how fucking full of shit the feds are.
"When Emery was arrested in 2005, DEA administrator Karen Tandy stated that his arrest was "…a significant blow… to the marijuana legalization movement." However, since then, legalization initiatives for both recreational and medical marijuana have thrived, and a majority of Americans favor outright legalization of cannabis."
Prohibitionist statements like this aren't fooling any thinking person anymore.
You have to be severely mentally retarded Not to see that more states have legalized medical marijuana and two states have legalized adult recreational use since 2005, meaning it wasn't a significant blow. Tandy, Haag, the rest of them are some fucking full of shit.
Obama, they're wrong and wasting money. Grow a pair of balls and put a stop to this federal shit.
Canadian Govt.
I guess the Canadian Govt. doesn't want him back!
This is an improvement but
This is an improvement but Marc should never have been in prison in the first place.

Gov Crist calls special session to ban oil drilling in Florida waters
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
"I feel a compelling duty to protect Florida. I'm going to be governor for about six more months, and I think I would not be doing my duty as governor if I didn't call for this special session."
This afternoon, Florida Governor Charlie Crist announced that he is calling the state Legislature back into a special session later this month. At a press conference, Crist said he hopes they will draft a state Constitutional amendment that, if passed by voters in November, would ban fossil fuel drilling in Florida waters.
âThe rightness of this is so clear. Especially with what weâve dealt with in the last 80 days or so in Gulf of Mexico. This is an issue that is so important to the future of our state, to the economy of Florida. Our economy and our environment are inextricably linked in my view.â
State waters range from three to ten miles offshore. The ban would not affect deep water drilling in federal waters of the Gulf.
The state Legislature strongly leans Republican, but public outrage is currently high enough that the ban could go through.comments powered by Disqus
CommentsToken Gesture
That's a nice token gesture but as I understand it FL Waters extend 12 nautical miles out on the Gulf side & 3 nm out on the Atlantic side. So banning drilling in FL Waters is about as good as putting a rig on Egmont Key & calling Clwtr Bch protected. What we really need is for our Cong Reps & Senators to sponsor a bill to ban all off shore drilling period! I'd like to see a roll cal vote on that on.
Crist is an Obama Hugger
I drive a car and use electricity and I need oil. I support responsible drilling anywhere. Give BP some credit!

Bio: Lynne Connolly writes historical romance under the name Lynne Martin. Lynne has had a varied career. She's part English, part Romany, married to an Irish Viking. She lives in England, near the vibrant cities of Manchester and Liverpool, and she loves the Beatles, Manchester United and her children, but not necessarily in that order.
She wanted to be a librarian, but she became a rock star aide, a toy buyer, a strategic planning manager and a management consultant instead.
She has more letters after her name than in it, but she can never remember what they are. Her academic career centred on art history, a subject she likes to drop in to her books from time to time. In December, 2005, in collaboration with Gail Northman, Lynne gave a class to the Beau Monde chapter of the RWA on "The English Country House."
Now she's a novelist. She's collected awards, five star reviews and so on, but while they are lovely to receive, her real reward is the writing. Writing is a lifelong passion, so eventually she decided to go with it, instead of fighting the urge. Lynne is probably best known for her Richard and Rose series, about the courtship and marriage of two Georgian lovers, and the new Department 57 series of paranormal romances. Her previous published Regency romance, Vanessa, was a delight to write and it was sheer enjoyment to return to the Regency era with Laura.
Her hobby is miniatures, and she has attended several classes to make historical artifacts in miniature, including a complete bedroom in the Chinoiserie style. Her hobby has helped a great deal in her historical research, but she'd probably do it anyway! The compulsion to create worlds is just too great.
She can be contacted via her website http://www.lynneconnolly.com and her email is firstname.lastname@example.com. She can be found on the web, on several email loops, and haunting the great halls of Britain's country houses and museums.
Lynne never got to be a librarian. She's still hoping she can fit it in one day.

The Eruption of the Chaitén Volcano
In the morning of May 2, 2008, the Chaitén Volcano, located in the X Region of The Lakes in Chile, 10 kilometers away from the district bearing the same name, entered an eruptive phase. Though its existence as a geomorphological unit was already known and it was identified as such in maps, its eruptive history remains a mystery.
Thousands of years ago, the volcano erupted in a similar way. As a result, a slope of volcanic sediments rest on the mountainous shores of the Pacific Ocean in this area and the volcanic sand resulting from this event gave shape to a small valley where the town of Chaitén was settled later on.
The 2008 eruption was characterized by seismic activity and a huge slide of sand and ashes which devastated the small town and caused the Blanco River to flood the area as it made its way to the Pacific Ocean waters. While it advanced, the landslide pushed a part of the city towards the sea. The other part was completely covered by sand and volcanic ash.
Chaitén had been designed for the future, with its wide and modern avenues and its neat waterfront. All of it was coated with the natural elements expelled by the volcano.
The ash cloud and the rocks expelled by the volcano led the Chilean authorities to evacuate the area completely. This operation included the Districts of Chaitén y Futaleufú. As a result of this effective measure, no victims were registered.
Even though the worst stage is over, authorities believe that this phenomenon could repeat itself in the next decades. In consequence, the idea for the moment is that Chaitén should remain uninhabited.
The positive side is that tourism in the area is increasing and this is evidenced in the Districts of Santa Bárbara and Puerto Cárdenas, where many people ask about accommodation.
Activities such as hiking, fishing and river rafting are still practiced normally and more and more people are becoming interested in the damage caused by the volcano. This means that Chaitén has become a new attraction in the region.
This is an invitation to see Chaitén before and after the volcano eruption in our photo gallery. And if you travel around this area, do not hesitate to enjoy the countless tourist attractions still available today, as if nothing had happened.

The parish of Tin was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Hovin was separated from Tinn 1860 - but it was again merged with Tinn January 1, 1964.
The municipality borders to the north with Nore og Uvdal, to the east with Notodden, Hjartdal and Seljord, and to the west with Vinje.
Tinn stretches deeply into the Hardangervidda landscape. One landmark in Tinn is the 1883 metre tall mountain Gaustatoppen, climbed each year by 30,000 people. On clear days it is possible to see one sixth of Norway from its summit.
Krossobanen is the oldest aerial tramway in Northern Europe. It was built in 1928 as a gift from Norsk Hydro.
The waterfall Rjukanfossen on the Måna river allowed construction of Vemork, the largest power station in the world in 1911. The station has become a museum where one can explore the history of the energy and see exhibits about the industrial development in Norway and at Rjukan, the municipality center of Tinn.
The museum is most famous for its presentation of Rjukan's war history. During World War II, Vemork was the site of the Norwegian heavy water sabotage, when Norwegian saboteurs prevented the Germans from producing atomic weapons from the heavy water which was produced here. The exhibit "Atomkappløpet" ("The nuclear race") presents the four heavy water sabotages and the allied efforts to develop a nuclear bomb.

The native ICS app has some battery statistics. Go to settings-battery and it gives you some indication of what is being used.
Mine almost exclusively says most is from screen.
You might consider some application killing software through the play store.

Don't use those, please.
It ruins the stability of said apps.
I find the most useful feature of the stock android battery stats to be the graph.
Settings>battery>click the graph.
If you're "Screen On" and "Awake" bars are close to being the same...it's good.
If awake is on really frequently with your screen off...it's bad.
Keep in mind that playing music and making phone calls will keep your phone awake with the screen off. That's fine.

Hello Brothers,
Well, I feel like I have crawled out of a cave. I just spent the entire weekend, Thursday -Saturday night late- in a crowded gym watching some awesome wrestling, and I missed the entire NCAA's. How is this you ask? Because the wrestling I watched was the Pennsylvania Jr. State Championships in Erie, PA. Man, these kids, (10 & Under, 12 & U, 14 & U) REALLY get after it. 24 man brackets, double elimination, 8 placers. Reading the history of this meet, pretty much every great college wrestler who grew up in PA has placed in it (Oliver, Herbert, G.Jones, K.Angle, Weaver...). Well, brothers, (this is the first cool thing) the main reason I was there was to coach my son Desmond, who wound up taking 2nd in state at 145 12 & U, beating a defending champ in round one, and losing in the finals on a double ot, 30 sec ride-out, 1-0! I am majorly proud and wanted to share it with my WT Brothers first and foremost (well, after everyone I passed on the street!). Here is the link:http://22.214.171.124/tournaments/09%2...mpionships.pdf (145 12 and under)
The second cool thing this weekend is finding out that my mighty Gusto Grapplers, even though eleminated from the competition, still wound up with FIVE (5) champs (Gomez, King, Luke, Varner, Ellis) and one 7th (Russell)! Pretty good I think! Did anyone beat this?

Jewish-American organized crime was not exclusively a New York phenomenon, however, as seen during the early 20th century in other major cities with a considerable Jewish-American population as predominantly Jewish-American gangs operated as well, such as The Purple Gang in Detroit.
Jewish American organized crime was a reflection of the ethnic succession among gangsters, which has tended to follow the immigrant waves in the United States: English, German, Irish, Jewish and then Italian. Ethnic involvement in organized crime gave rise to alien conspiracy theories in the US law enforcement community, in which the conception of organized crime as an alien and united entity was vital. It was presented as many-faced, calculating and relentlessly probing for weak spots in the armour of American morality. America had to be protected from this alien threat. The conspiracy theories conveniently ignored the fact that Jewish-American and Italian-American criminals generally co-existed with (even sometimes subordinate to) other criminals, such as Irish-American organized crime networks before the 1920s.
Jewish American organized crime is part of an entire literature, particularly in the United States, on "tough Jews," mainly gangsters and boxers among whom Jews played a prominent role, often to the delight - even pride - of other Jews, especially Jewish men, who considered them tougher, more aggressive role models to free them from the stigma of defenselessness and powerlessness and the dominant Jewish stereotype: intellectualism and professional legitimacy, not physical aggressiveness and lawlessness, which was more stereotypical of the Irish and Italian immigrants and their mobs. According to Rich Cohen, author of Tough Jews: Fathers, Sons and Gangster Dreams: "if Jewish gangsters still thrived today, if they hadn't gone legit, if Jews of my generation didn't regard them as figments, creatures to be classed with Big Foot and the Loch Ness monster, I think the Jewish community would be better off.
Following Cohen's line of reasoning, one could say that Jewish American organized crime played a role in the emancipation of the Jewish American community in American society. However, Cohen's description of Jewish gangsters ignores that they were criminals who made their money by extorting and exploiting other Jews, including trafficking in Jewish women, and were generally considered a scourge within the community. The Yiddish press and literature of the 1920s and 30s was resolute in its condemnation of Jewish mobsters.
For both second-generation Jewish and Italian immigrants, the lure of crime often competed quite successfully with mainstream opportunities. There was a Jewish "crime wave" in early-20th-century New York. About a sixth of the city's felony arrests were Jews. Many young Jewish criminals gravitated toward the "rackets," where they met up with the children of Irish, Italian, and other immigrants.
As the 20th century progressed, Jewish-American mobsters such as "Dopey" Benny Fein and Joe "The Greaser" Rosenzweig entered labour racketeering, hiring out to both businesses and labor unions as strong arm men. Labor racketeering or "labor slugging" as it was known, would become a source of conflict as it came under the domination of several racketeers including former Five Points Gang members Nathan "Kid Dropper" Kaplan and Johnny Spanish during the Labor slugger wars until its eventual takeover by Jacob "Gurrah" Shapiro in 1927. Other organized crime figures would include Moses Annenberg and Arnold Rothstein, the latter reportedly responsible for fixing the 1919 World Series.
According to crime writer Leo Katcher, Arnold Rothstein "transformed organized crime from a thuggish activity by hoodlums into a big business, run like a corporation, with himself at the top. According to Rich Cohen, Rothstein was the person who first saw in Prohibition a business opportunity, a means to enormous wealth, who "understood the truths of early century capitalism (hypocrisy, exclusion, greed) and came to dominate them". Rothstein was the Moses of the Jewish gangsters, according to Cohen, the progenitor, a rich man's son who showed the young hoodlums of the Bowery how to have style; indeed, the man who, the Sicilian-American gangster Lucky Luciano would later say, "taught me how to dress".
During this time, Italian mobster Charlie Luciano began plotting against the Old World Sicilian mafiosi and, enlisting the help of longtime associates Meyer Lansky and Benjamin Siegel, a conference was held at New York's Franconia Hotel on November 11, 1931 which included mobsters such as Jacob Shapiro, Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, Joseph "Doc" Stacher, Hyman "Curly" Holtz, Louis "Shadows" Kravitz, Harry Tietlebaum, Philip "Little Farvel" Kovolick and Harry "Big Greenie" Greenberg. During this meeting, Luciano and Lansky were able to convince the Jewish-American mobsters to agree to work with Italian mobsters in business following the end of the Castellammarese War – in a consortium known as the National Crime Syndicate. At the meeting's conclusion, "Bugsy" Siegel supposedly declared "The yids and the dagos will no longer fight each other."
Those Jewish gangsters hostile to the idea of cooperation with non-Jewish rivals gradually receded, most notably Philadelphia bootlegger Waxey Gordon, who was convicted and imprisoned for tax evasion. Following Gordon's imprisonment, his operations were assumed by Nig Rosen and Max "Boo Hoo" Hoff.
Under Lansky, Jewish mobsters became involved in syndicate gambling interests in Cuba and Las Vegas. Buchalter would also lead the predominantly Jewish Murder Incorporated as the Luciano-Meyer syndicate's exclusive hitmen.
Jewish-American organized crime derived from dislocation and poverty, where language and custom made the community vulnerable to undesirables, the sort of thing that fosters criminality among any other ethnicity in a similar situation. As Jews improved their conditions, the Jewish thug and racketeer either disappeared or merged into a more assimilated American crime environment. American Jews quietly buried the public memory of the gangster past; unlike the Mafia, famous Jewish American gangsters like Meyer Lansky, Dutch Schultz and Bugsy Siegel founded no crime families.
Much like Irish Americans and other ethnicities (with exception to Italian American criminal organizations), Jewish-American presence in organized crime gradually faded after World War II. Jewish-American individuals remained associated with organized crime figures, but the criminal organizations and gangs which once rivaled the Italian and Irish-American mobsters during the first half of the 20th century have long since disappeared.
Israeli mobsters also have a presence in the United States. Yehuda "Johnny" Attias arrived in New York in 1987 and immediately made himself known by slaying a local heroin kingpin, another Israeli named Moussan Alyian. He and his crew became heavily involved in drug trafficking, making millions through importing heroin from Amsterdam and Thailand as well as hashish from Turkey. They also pulled off the biggest gold heist in the history of Manhattan's jewelery district, getting away with over $4 million in gold jewelery. However Attias was ultimately murdered in January 1990, and New York's Israeli mafia fell apart soon after. Several members such as Ron Gonen had turned informant and the authorities arrested the rest of the gang in September of that year.
The Israeli mafia (such as the Abergil crime family) is heavily involved in ecstasy trafficking in America and were allegedly the suppliers to former Gambino crime family underboss Sammy Gravano in his Arizona drug ring. Gravano's main drug supplier was New York based Israeli mobster, Ilan Zarger.

Funny: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox appeared on national TV to champion his new short-selling rule.
The problem? The rule already exists.
Funny: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox appeared on national TV to champion his new short-selling rule.
The problem? The rule already exists.
Cox declared he'll no longer allow traders to short stocks without borrowing them first, at least when it comes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac . This "naked shorting" is banned, he said. Strange that the SEC chairman doesn't know that the practice is already illegal.
The rule is that all traders shorting a stock need to first borrow it first. And it doesn't matter whether it's Fannie, Freddie, Ford or Pfizer . This rule applies to any stock out there. It's just that the SEC isn't enforcing the rule anywhere else. As a result, hedge funds are sending down the shares of any number of companies in the market.
This move just goes hand in hand with the SEC's dissolution of the uptick rule, in which a trader must wait for a stock to go up before he can sell it short. Hedge funds have been taking advantage of that as well, again hurting companies and shareholders alike.
Cramer's suggestion to the SEC: Start doing your job. Regulate the markets, for cryin' out loud. The average investor is watching his net worth evaporate because because you won't reign in these hedge funds.

Miscellaneous: OKOLO raise a toast to the art of the bottle opener.
Jammed between the molars or against the curb of the road, prised with the heel of a shoe, the belt buckle, the lighter or the key ring, alternative methods for getting that crafty bit of metal off the top of the beer bottle come in many guises. But the real deal, the bottle opener, is a work of beauty and simplicity and its wonder is being celebrated by Czech creatives OKOLO's new exhibition Open & Drink!
Launching their new gallery Pedal Project Studio on August 15 in Prague with this corker of an exhibition, OKOLO are presenting bottle openers from all over the world, from across the generations. And, as self-confessed beer lovers, they have added extra flavour, joining forces with the Vyškov brewery so that you can sip their very own OKOLO beer while admiring the work of its opener.

HIPAA – Notice of Patient Privacy Practices
Effective date: September 23, 2013
Notice of Privacy Practices as required by the privacy regulations created as a result of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.
Who Will Follow This Notice
This notice describes the privacy practices of Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services (RMCHCS). Healthcare professionals who care for you, employees who enter information into your healthcare records and all other RMCHCS staff members will follow the rules of this notice. In addition, RMCHCS may share your medical information with each other for treatment, payment or administrative purposes as described in this notice.
Our Pledge Regarding Medical Information:
We understand that your individually identifiable health information (also called protected health information, or PHI) is important, personal and needs to be protected. We are committed to protecting your PHI. In conducting the operations of RMCHCS, we will receive information and create records regarding you and the treatment and services we provide to you. This notice applies to all records containing your PHI that are created or retained by RMCHCS. This notice will tell you about the ways in which we may use and disclose your PHI. It also describes your rights in your PHI and certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of PHI.
The Law requires us to:
- Make sure that medical information that identifies you is kept private
- Give you this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to medical information about you
- Follow the terms of the notice that is currently in effect
What About Changes to This Notice?
We have the right to change parts of this notice, if needed. Any revision or amendment to the notice will be effective for all of your records that RMCHCS has created or maintained in the past, and for any of your records that we may create or maintain in the future. If we do make changes, we will post a copy of the new notice at RMCHCS. Every time you come in for healthcare services or treatment, we will offer you the latest copy of this notice.
How May We Use and Share Your PHI?
While we will not list all the ways in which we may use and share your PHI below is a list of all the categories in which we are permitted to use and disclose PHI. Within each category, we have provided some examples of how your PHI may be used or shared:
For treatment: Your healthcare team will need to be given your PHI so they can provide you with the right treatment or service. We may disclose PHI about you to such individuals as your doctor, nurse or a technician. Your healthcare team will be adding information about such things as x-rays, laboratory work and medications to your records. Some of this information may need to be shared with family members or with people outside of RMCHCS who may be involved in your medical care.
For payment: We may use and share PHI about you so we can send out our bills. We may use and share information about a treatment you are going to receive to get prior approval or to find out if your insurance plan will pay for the treatment.
Appointment reminders: We may also use your PHI to tell you that you have an appointment for treatment or healthcare services.
Other treatments: We may use or share health information to tell you about treatments that you may like to have as part of your healthcare.
Business associates: There may be instances where your PHI will be shared with an outside organization in order to carry out RMCHCS operations, for example, an entity providing some technological support. In each instance, we will enter into agreements with these organizations, which require these organizations to protect your PHI.
People helping with or paying for your care: We may share your PHI with a friend or family member appointed or who qualifies to be your decision maker under New Mexico law. However, any such disclosure will be subject to legal requirements and our privacy practices.
When you allow us: We may also tell your family or friends about your health or may share minimally necessary amount of PHI about you to someone helping when there is a disaster relief effort so your family can be told about your health status and where you are.
Fundraising: Many RMCHCS patients want information about donations to our non-profit, the RMCHCS Foundation and information about other fundraising opportunities and activities, and we periodically provide such information. When providing such information, we only use contact information, such as your name, address and phone number and the dates you received treatment of services. However, you have the right opt out of any fundraising communications with each solicitation. Additionally, if you do NOT want RMCHCS to give you this information in any instance , please call the RMCHCS Privacy Officer at 505.863.7265u
Research: With special cases, we may use and share minimally necessary PHI about you for research use. All research, however, needs special permission. Before we use or share PHI for research, you must sign an approval of research form.
By law: We will share minimally necessary PHI about you when we must do so because of federal, state or local law.
Health and safety problems: We may use and share a minimal amount of PHI about you as needed to prevent a serious threat to your own health and safety or to the health and safety of the public or another person. We would only share with someone who is able to help prevent the threat.
More restrictive state and federal laws: New Mexico law is sometimes more restrictive than HIPAA in several areas. State law is more restrictive when the patient may be entitled to greater access to records than under HIPAA and when under state law the records are more protected from use of disclosure than under HIPAA. Certain federal laws also are more stringent than HIPAA. RMCHCS will follow the most restrictive applicable law. More restrictive laws include health information related to substance abuse and internet privacy laws. More restrictive New Mexico laws include genetic and HIV testing requirements.
Uses and Disclosures Requiring Authorization
Psychotherapy notes: RMCHCS will obtain your authorization prior to using or disclosing psychotherapy notes, except for use by the originator of the psychotherapy notes for treatment, for our own training programs to assist in the improvement of the care we provide, for proper oversight of the originator of the psychotherapy notes and where necessary to defend ourselves in a legal action brought by the subject of the psychotherapy notes.
Marketing: RMCHCS must obtain your authorization prior to using or disclosing PHI for marketing purposes, including subsidized treatment communications, except during face-to-face communication, or when providing a promotional gift of nominal value.
Sale of PHI: Disclosures or uses that may constitute the sale of PHI will only be made if RMCHCS obtains the required authorization from you.
Other uses and disclosures: Prior to any use or disclosure of PHI, which is not described in this notice, RMCHCS will obtain your authorization.
Special Cases
Organ and tissue donors: If you are an organ donor, we may share minimally necessary PHI as needed so organ or tissue donation or transplant can take place.
Armed Forces and Vets: When the appropriate conditions apply, we may use or disclose PHI of individuals who are Armed Forces personnel (1) for activities deemed necessary by appropriate military command authorities; (2) for the purpose of a determination by the Department of Veterans Affairs of your eligibility for benefits, or (3) to foreign military authority if you are a member of that foreign military services.
Workers' compensation: We may share minimally necessary PHI as needed for workers' compensation or other programs. These programs help out with workers' benefits. State and federal laws control any sharing of this information.

New eBook – The Visual Storyteller
Some of the most powerful photographs tell—or imply—a story. Of course, not all of them do, but the ones that do seem to engage us in ways others don't. Capturing a sense of story in our photographs isn't easy, but it's a good way to make our photographs stronger. Oded Wagenstein is a young Israeli photographer with a surprising number of publishing credits to his name already, and is a regular in National Geographic Traveler (the Israeli edition). The Visual Storyteller is his first eBook and it's an excellent introduction to incorporating story into our photographs. I say it's an introduction because storytelling is a really rich subject and Oded's book was written as a primer for anyone wanting to either wrap their brains around this topic, or to begin selling their work to editorial markets, which is where Oded makes his bread and butter.
Beautifully laid out, The Visual Storyteller takes you from a discussion about what makes a good story-telling photograph, and the basic elements of storytelling, to how we incorporate that knowledge into our work. He goes on to discuss gear, light, composition, approaching people, and how to get your photographs published, including an interview with a National Geographic Editor-in-Chief. Beginners and intermediate photographers who travel with their cameras, or have an interest in pursuing work as travel photographers, will find value in this beautiful 78-page eBook.
The Visual Storyteller, by Oded Wagenstein is a downloadable PDF ebook published by Craft & Vision. For the next week it's available for just $4 (discount codes below).
Use the promotional discount code STORY4 when you check out and pay only $4 OR use the code STORY20 to get 20% off when you buy 5+ Craft & Vision products. These codes expire at 11:59 PM (PST) October 21, 2013.

unofficial poll, what topics would people like to hear about most?
micah indicated that this is ordered by the amount of prep time he would

- DocBook (moderate)
- XML (moderate)
- The "New" C: C99 (tecchy - assumes C knowledge)

|Mendota Chamber Beautification Award
|....Return to List
November 12, 2012
MCH has received another accolade - a special compliment from the Mendota community. On November 9, 2012 during the annual Chamber of Commerce Dinner MCH was named a co-recipient of the Beautification Award (along with First State Bank). What a tremendous honor, to be recognized by our peers, for our new hospital facility. Our building definitely is beautiful!
This award is given based on the following criteria:
Chamber members nominate businesses and the Chamber Board of Directors votes on the entries. We are so proud of our new building….but even more than that we are proud of all the employees who make up MCH!
