Captured in the Word of God and the Rule of Life
"I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord."[1] God's words here leaped in my heart as I reflected on the meanings to a rule of life. A rule of life must not be one of doctrine, complexity, or teaching, but rather an embrace of breathable naturalism and simplicity to which we ascribe in living communal practice with an expectation of becoming that which we are. Fyodor Dostoevski put it as, "The whole law of human existence lies in this: that man be able to bow down before the infinitely great"[2]
The submission to communal life as a Christian is not sustainable through the life of just one and as our creator, it is God who first makes those relational ties with our inner being as he seeks intimacy and knits the fabric of life into the community around us (Jer. 1:4-10). Miroslav Volf rightly identifies that, "The Christian faith is not primarily about human doing but about human receiving. The barebones formal injunction to which the gospel can be produced is, 'Receive yourself and your world as a new creation.'"[3]
Catalyzing this receiving of new life and intimacy is the reality of God's being in the foundation of love. This is not a reaction of motivated love but rather, "God's love for humanity [as] freely given… The one true God does not need anything from humans, but exists as self-complete and yet not self-enclosed plenitude of self-giving and other receiving of love."[4] It is in a submission to receiving that love that we can then reflect it in response as an attribute to our being in the imago Dei. This existence however is not limited to our relationships solely between God and us but also in creational community. As we live deeper into this rule of life we recognize that love is not quantifiable and therefore not ours to give and receive, rather there is only one love in the identity of God which is shared and mirrored by all of his creation and intrinsically woven into the DNA of communal practice.
The universal inclusiveness of the Christian community gives birth to an alienation of its practice from that of the world's understanding. Volf reflects the thoughts that, "through the new birth into a living hope, a 'sect' is born. And indeed, before the new born child could take her first breath, her difference, her foreignness, was manifest."[5] Hospitality and acceptance in the world's perception is founded on a belief that it is quantified through personal individual meriting and yet, as Christians we fully live out an inclusiveness of hospitality and acceptance for all, despite difference, diversity, or social dictums. We love and entertain as God loves and entertains all!
The freedom in this endeavor to pursue God's love and redemption of all things, returning his love to that which he creates, brings not a sense of enslavement, but a radical becoming and returning to who we are and who we were meant to be. No longer are we trapped by the self-consuming rules of ego but catalyzed by the movement towards communal self-realization and the rule of life. In Volf's terms, "Every act of knowing God both satisfies and engenders human curiosity, every encounter with God both quenches and deepens human thirst. In the infinite being of God, the incessant movement of the human spirit begins to arrive at its final rest."[6]
Rest… indeed, a life long meditation on the practice of Sabbath!

Welcome My Son, Welcome to the Machine: A Response to Kathryn Tanner's Modern and Postmodern Review of Cultures
Modern approach to defining and understanding culture is a linear systematic approach which attempts to generalize a people group according to hard set boundaries and parameters. As Tanner articulates, "The boundaries of a particular culture become in this way the boundaries of a particular society. Where a society breaks off so does its culture. Cultures tend therefore to be discussed as isolatable units in geographical space." (Pg.#27) In this way, a people find their culture defined for them through national, political, corporate, and geographical localities.
It is a fashion to which Tanner illustrates through the image of a machine with movable parts hard-lined into a system which operates solely for it's dictated purpose. In other words, "the elements of a culture work interdependently, like gears or bodily organs, for the sake of the whole, in order to sustain its smooth functioning." (Pg.#34)
Postmodernism dismantles the machine while giving life to the parts which become the seedlings of a new understanding of community and society. The boundaries being less distinguishable allowing culture to develop more organically and relationally. As my friend Daunavan quoted Tanner and bracketed his own thoughts, "Culture is no longer seen as a fixed form or place (with consensus), it is better understood as a whole that can be contradictory or internally fissured (all the parts are not necessarily working for the betterment of the whole)". This meaning that the organic relational developments of social order in the postmodern approach can lead to communal and societal development but, it could also be destructive or detrimental to a societies ability to survive.
Yet the promise of hope for a social order still lies in that, "change is possible because culture and society no longer form, as in the modern understanding of culture, an expressive totality, every aspect reinforcing all the others by virtue of their following the same structures or principles." (Pg. #52) Hope lies at the centre guiding call of humanity, a meaning found by any and all yet corporately evolved through mutual communal relations.
So what call does the Christ follower have? What mutual relationships does the church foster?
Exiles in Search of Event Horizons and the Evolution of a Gospel Experience
This past week I have been in some discussions where as missional leaders we have a deeper passion for creating environments of experience rather then developing events. It has caused me to contemplate the meanings we have behind these expressions. Can an event in fact be an experience?
It has been my understanding over the years that when people draw two paralleling contrasting ideas, they tend to react against one or the other in a pendulum like fashion. You are either Conservative or Liberal, Republican or Democrat, Coke or Pepsi, and so on. Likewise, I think that is what is happening in our texts as we find meaning in the gospel.
Isaiah is finding the tensions between an exiled nation and the redemption of Israel; Mark finds the tensions between John who must become less and Jesus who must become more; and Paul finds that tensions between the model of the cross in us and the life of Jesus coming to rest in the believer. Thus, the tension of the gospel is a life of faith in tandem with the death of self.
Mark, you stated that, "the gospel is the announcement of an event." When we consider the event as a Kairos moment in life, we can acknowledge that their is an infinite amount of events that can take place throughout a persons life which will shape who they are and what they will become. The gospel itself is not necessarily in all these events but the potentiality of it, or His, presence is. Jesus' words of God's Kingdom being at hand or near is reflective of this.
The experiencing of the gospel in any one event comes from the subversive willingness to allow your relationship with Christ to interpret and transform each moment into a realigning understanding of Kingdom perspective.
Jesus told a parable where he spoke of the Kingdom of God being like that of a mustard seed. When you cast it into the soil and it takes root, it grows. Not only does it grow but it also flourishes into a huge plant that impacts all the other life around it. (Mark 4:30-32) This is the story of the gospel; it takes root through the events of a persons life and evolves into a life giving force!
I have always said this, but a person's testimony of the gospel being present in their life cannot be boiled down into any singular moment or event. It is only visible through the on going pursuit of new event horizons where the evolutionary experiences of the gospel taking shape in your life make greater impacts and service to those around you. To borrow Michael Horton's words,
"There is a significant origin and end point to history, within which we ourselves are cast members. It is a courtroom drama in which we are either false or true witnesses, "in Adam" or "in Christ," justified or condemned, alive or dead.
Neither masters nor tourists, we become pilgrims.
Unlike masters, pilgrims have not arrived and they do not presume to inaugurate their own kingdoms of glory. They don't have all the answers and they are not exactly sure what their destination city will be like; they are driven by a promise and by God's fulfillment of his promise along the way. Yet unlike tourists, they are on their way to a settled place and every point along the way is a landmark toward that destination."
The Problem with Sin
Not so long ago I had posted an article my friend Michael Coghlin wrote titled 'Have you Heard the Good News?' It had mostly stirred the emotions in me regarding the challenges of evangelism and yet, my friend Don brought up a good point in a comment following the post; "I think that if we try too hard to concentrate on the 'good news' then we end up watering it down. It may seem like we're building bridges but we may be doing very little to touch people's lives with the real importance of the Good News." I think he is right; we cannot simply focus on finding righteousness and salvation at the absence of not recognizing our own brokenness and need for repentance. But what exactly is it that we are repenting of?
For most of my life I have heard it said, "To error is human." "To fail is natural." But is this really true? Philosophically I can argue that to know failure you must first comprehend perfection. Yet perfection is solely measured in the personal sense. What I consider beautiful you may yet consider absolutely appalling! The same, I suppose, could be said of sin. What I consider to be nefarious in nature may not be to you. Sin in and of itself is undefinable to the exhaustive sense of comprehending its entire meaning.
"Sin is the missing of a target, a wandering from the path, a straying from the fold. Sin is a hard heart and stiff neck. Sin is blindness and deafness. It is both the overstepping of a line and the failure to reach it – both transgression and shortcoming. Sin is a beast crouching at the door. In sin, people attack or evade or neglect their divine calling. These and other images suggest deviance; even when it is familiar, sin is never normal…Above all, sin disrupts and resists the vital human relation to God."
I think that is the actual problem we have with sin; we live with the expectation of trying to neatly define it to the letter of the law so that we can quantify its structure. To be blunt, we want the easy way of rationalizing the rule book of life so that we can find judgement within it. We want salvation and redemption within the life we have here and now today. It seems ironic to consider this when judgement itself cannot be completely ratified entirely until our life in this world comes to an end.
Perhaps the nature of sin is instead outside of the measurements of dogmatic law and is more than just a set of rules. Perhaps sin is very much like we identified earlier; relational in nature. If this is true, then sin itself must be more of an entity unto itself. Sin has character for the sack of personhood, existence for the sake of personal meaning, malevolence for the sake of self depravity. Perhaps this is what the Apostle Paul meant in saying, "But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead. I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died." (Romans 7:8-9)
Let's wake up people. Let's free ourselves from this prison of sin which calls itself natural and seek out redemption. This kind of relationship with sin is parasitic and in essence leeches off the perfected natures we as human beings were created for. Let's put on our new selves and begin building on a relationship with life and not death.
Sin does exist in the objective sense a part from us yet I think the reality of our relationship too it is not to follow its lead but rather follow the lead of righteousness. In teaching his disciples Jesus says; "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done." (Matthew 16:24-27)
Jesus' leadership is in two forms; the first is that we alone cannot give anything or work to find freedom from our relationship to sin. That freedom can only come from the self sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. For that reason he models to us that we must rely of his Lordship, his ownership over our lives, and in acknowledging that authority we will find freedom through his grace and not our own personal efforts.
Secondly, by finding our allegiances in his Lordship we can begin in works which are inline with the very perfected natures God created us in and thus be filled with true purpose and meaning to our lives. Failure will no longer be a word with any meaning to us and freedom will become an expression which fills our heart with excitement and passion for the next opportunity to see the realities of Christ's Kingdom manifest itself within us through creative, unique, diverse, and dynamic ways!
Sin no longer lives or reigns in this earth. Sin no longer is a problem; for it is dead. We are forever alive in the truth, the life, and the way through the power of redemption and freedom of Christ.
Chaos Theory and the Significance of Being
My friend Aaron made a post titled Wisdom Required not long ago and I felt led to leave a comment. These thoughts are still resonating in my heart and mind so I thought I would share them here also as they connect with the magic of Christmas.
I've been thinking about your friend and praying for him since we last talked over coffee Aaron. I realized I might have touched on something deeper when I said I wondered if there was something in behind his struggle of faith. Namely the painful struggle of questioning insignificance.
I ask this as I too myself struggle with this question of identity. Why should God care for me? Why should he care for the little insignificant actions I take in life whether they are good or bad? But then I think of the reverse; why should I care for God? Perhaps God thinks that what we consider to be insignificant he sees more as the greater significances. Perhaps what we see as ordinarily unimportant he sees as extraordinarily miraculous!
Have you ever heard of the "Chaos Theory"? (See Here) It is this idea that when a butterfly flaps its wings in South America, the wind created by these motions has the potential of becoming a Hurricane out in the ocean which in turn makes North American land fall. Perhaps this is how God sees us; not only in the physical sense but in the spiritual as well. Why should God care and love each one of us? Because each and every one of us has the potential of creating and experiencing great historical and eternal events, moments, and changes to His Kingdom!
Jesus tells a parable of a fig tree in Luke 21:29-33 that just as we witness the blooming of its leaves on its branches, we also can know that the Kingdom of God is near. God is not far off and he is deeply connected and close to all that we do. The question to choose then is, "What kind of hurricane do you want to create?"
In a sense I suppose that is the message of Christmas. From the insignificance of a baby born in Bethlehem came the Savior for all man kind. In another paraphrase by an unknown author, "The message of Christmas is that the visible material world is bound to the invisible spiritual world."
It's Not Just Creation Vs. Evolution
My friend Rick Bayer wrote an interesting article recently over at SE Calgary News on Creationism and Evolution. Check it out here but, just to get a taste here was my response:
Not long ago I was outside of my work waiting for a bus to pick me up. A friend and coworker walked by and noticed I was reading a book titled 'The Tangible Kingdom' and questioned me why I would read such a book. After explaining to him that I was a pastor he jumped with enthusiasm saying, "Really?! I never took you as being a particularly religious person!"
And then came the questions; "So you believe in God then?"
"Yes I do." I responded.
"Do you believe in Jesus?" he asked.
"Yes." I answered with a little bit of hesitation and internal wondering where he was going to take this conversation. Before I could question him on his own intentions he quickly threw out his next question… "Do you believe in Aliens?"
I must admit to being a little thrown back by the question. It's not exactly your normal everyday conversations which make you contemplate faith and the vastness of space. I quickly hashed my thoughts in my brain in that moment. If I say no then I will be deemed a fundamental creationist, judged irrational with no liberal freedom, and banished from any sense of acknowledgement to intelligent dialogue. If I say yes then I am just a kooky, science fictional "Star Trek" lover, who probably leads some whacked out cult!
I must admit to contemplating the realities in which we treat the idea and existence of Truth in our culture. Is it objective or subjective? And how does it relate to religion and science? It seems that in the mind set of my friend religion or faith is based on a creed, doctrine, or traditionalism set out by a denomination or organizational affiliation which is stated to be a fact or truth. Perhaps he is right in some cases of fundamental ideology but that is not what faith is; at least that is not what faith is to me. Faith is a holistic approach to our relationship to Truth as it encounters culture, context, tradition, and the crux of what it means to be human. This is something which encompasses not just the beliefs and formation or religious ecclesiology but also transfigures the practices and foci of science.
I often think of truth in the image of a prism. Truth is a white light fragmented into a million different colors, shapes, and sizes. Each color being a conception whether it is religion, science, or philosophy which resembles some part of the original whole. It is when we are willing to look beyond our own rigid borders and ideologies that we might recognize a relationship we have with not just each other in experiential subjective truth but, the source we embody or resemble in the white light of objective Truth. We can leave the conversation of whom or what the prism is for another time.
As for my friend who wondered if I believed in aliens I simply said, "I don't know if there are aliens or not. But, if there are I believe God loves them just as he does the rest of his creation."
I might also ask the question though; if evolution is about a truth that constant change is always plausible then is it not logical to assume that scientific fact has the plausibility of changing?
Where Life Begins…
My friend Perry sends me a monthly quote which she calls Power Thoughts from Perry A. every so often. Anyways, I found myself reflecting on her latest and the connection to Liminality and so I thought I would post it here too.
"Life begins at the end of your Comfort Zone. You don't know what you can do until you do it; what you can be until you become it; or what you can have until you have it. The Comfort Zone is always expanding and leading to new treasures of discovery."

Chicago kids mark a week off school as talks to end strike drag on
CHICAGO (REUTERS) - Chicago students marked a week off classes on Friday as hopes of an imminent end to a strike of public school teachers proved optimistic and tedious negotiations over the details of education reforms sought by Mayor Rahm Emanuel dragged on.
Led by a fiery former high school chemistry teacher, Ms Karen Lewis, 29,000 teachers and support staff walked out on Sunday in the first Chicago Teachers Union strike since 1987.
The confrontation, the largest strike in the United States (US) n a year, has galvanised the US labour movement and exposed a rift within the Democratic party over reform of urban schools.
After negotiating long into the night, Ms Lewis and Chicago School Board President David Vitale emerged early on Friday morning to say no deal had yet been reached.

Holy Quran (Koran)
is the eternal and literal word of GOD. Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) received these divine revelations
over a period of 23 years in the seventh century of
the Common Era. Each revelation was written
down by the Prophet's scribes according to the
Prophet's instructions. The current order and
organization into the 114 chapters (surahs) of the
entire revelations were therefore given to us by the
Prophet himself. Additionally, the Prophet and many
fellow Muslims (sahabah) had committed the entire
Quran to memory. The practice of memorizing the
whole Quran continued throughout the centuries.
There are thousands of such Muslims who
known as Hafiz, usually one for each Mosque in
Muslim countries.
There was a time when nobody was aware of the term
Online Quran Learning.
Nobody could even imagine that teaching or
learning Quran
over the internet was possible. People who wished to
learn Quran and
other religious stuff but had no or difficult access
to a teacher had no other alternative but to
compromise on their religion. But with the dramatic
developments in internet technologies emerged a
possibility to teach or
learn Quran Online.
At first, people who started teaching
Quran Online to
people of distant countries faced some difficulties
and problems as the whole phenomenon was new and
innovative. They used some software's for audio
communication and screen sharing which were not of
good quality. The students
learning Quran Online
also suffered because of bad audio communication and
voice delay. However, with the passage of time and
as the concept of
Online Quran
Tutoring or
Learn Quran at home
became more common, individuals of vision came up
with good quality software's. Now the most common
software being used for two way audio communication
is called Skype whose voice quality is excellent and
enjoys real time communication while there are other
varieties of good quality software being used for
screen sharing. As a result of these quality
software's, Online
Quran Tutor has
proved to be very effective and got enormous
popularity among Muslims living in western
countries. Online Quran Tutoring provides an
excellent opportunity for people who wish to learn
Quran but don't have access to an Aalim, Hafiz or
Quran Learning Online
provides one to one tutoring which ensures complete
individual attention. Now any one who wishes to
learn Quran can
go online, register with a company, get his classes
scheduled and start learning Quran Online. Online
Quran Tutoring is especially useful for kids who
find it hard to go to far off places/mosques to
learn Quran. Most Online Quran Tutoring companies
also teach
Quran reading,
Quran memorization, Quran translation, prayers and 'Duas'.
Now any one of any age and from anywhere in the
world can learn
Quran education
from qualified and experienced tutors while enjoying
the comforts of her home. Parents have started to
notice the many benefits associated with online
tutoring and
reading Quran online
services. Online Tutoring allows kids to
learn Quran with tajweed
from the convenience of home, making it more
convenient for both Quran for kids and parents who
have a busy schedule. Online Quran Tutoring
accommodates child's learning speed. Not all
children learn at the same rate.
Read Quran

'Parks and Recreation': Nick Offerman talks Tammys (and woodworking)Add to Favorites | Parks and Recreation
A big piece of the Ron Swanson puzzle gets filled in on Thursday's (Sept. 29) "Parks and Recreation," and who better to explain it than the man himself, Nick Offerman.
Thursday's episode is called "Ron and Tammys," and we'll meet all three of the women named Tammy in his life. Tammy Two ( Megan Mullally), we already know. She's the "raging hellcat" who was Ron's second ex-wife. We got just a brief glimpse of Tammy One ( Patricia Clarkson) at the end of last week's show, but as Offerman explains in the clip above, she's a much, much different woman than Tammy Two.
"Tammy One ... is a much more efficient taskmaster. She rules with an iron fist," Offerman says. You'll find out that Clarkson's character has had, as he puts it, "an authoritarian role" in Ron's life for some time.
Finally, we'll get to meet the original Tammy, Ron's mother Tamara ("Saturday Night Live" writer Paula Pell, aged up significantly for the part). In a lot of respects the Swanson apple did not fall far from the tree, and mom also apparently recognized Ron's woodworking skills at a very early age.
"Parks and Rec" airs at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

Software development is an exercise in managing complexity, and the more tools and methods we have at our disposal the easier it gets. One of my favorites is logging – recording important code execution points that I think are important, especially during debugging. Whenever developing functions or class methods I make it a point to add logging capabilities to the same. Logging helps one to quickly tracks bugs and evaluate the health of the system under development.
But what information does one log and what does one keep out. This usually depends on what kind of application you are developing. While developing database intensive applications I prefer to log every query execution state – the whole CRUD things. This helps me to quickly pinpoint any query errors and the sequence in which the queries are run.
Take an example class method addUser() shown below. When the query is executed the result is logged in a file with the function name and a user_id or a serialized error string in case of an error. Whenever the application is in a testing phase, the error logs are an immense help in diagnosing error points. This is better than a splattering of print_r statements all around the code.
define("LOG", true); /** Add new user to the system * * @param array $user_data * @return boolean */ public function addUser($user_data) { . . if(!$sql->execute()) { if(LOG) { $err_string = serialize($sql->errorInfo()); $this->_log->LogError("addUserd | error | " . $err_string); } return 0; } else { if(LOG) { $this->_log->LogInfo("addUser| no. | " . $user_id); } return 1; } }
The contents of a sample log file are shown below.
2010-07-31 4:52:58 - INFO | addUser | no. | h1280551978 2010-07-31 4:53:04 - INFO | user edit | no. | 1 2010-07-31 4:53:06 - INFO | user edit | no. | 1 2010-07-31 4:53:07 - INFO | addUser| no. | 1 2010-07-31 4:53:09 - ERROR | addUser| error | a:3:{i:0;s:5:"23";i:1;i:148;i:2;s:30:"Column 'fileno' cannot be null";}
Although logs can add some overhead to your code, it is a small price to pay for the benefits it provides. And if you do not want the logging feature you can easily disable it by setting the LOG constant to 'false' in the above code.
Although there a variety of libraries, I prefer KLogger as it has a small footprint and is easy to use. Other more advanced contender is Log4PHP, a PHP port of log4j, a Java logger. Zend_Log also looks nice but I am yet to give it a try.
For big, frequently used applications, log files can quickly get quite huge. The easy way to analyze them is to use GUI tools like LogMX and Apache Chainsaw. But if you just need to get some simple statistics from your logs, you could use the trusty old grep and other *nix utilities. For example to count the total error lines having the string 'mysql' you could use the following code.
$ grep 'ERROR ' activity.log | grep 'mysql' | wc -l
The advantage of scripts over GUI tools is that you can automatically process them using CRON jobs, e.g – emailing the admin if some particular type of errors in a log reaches some critical limit.
In conclusion, logs are one of the simplest ways of keeping track of your code problems or to check the execution sequence of your statements. This can be immensely helpful during development and for tracking down bugs.

Some things I like about Zend_Log:
* easy syntax: $log->info('my message'); $log->warn('uh oh');
* one input, many "writers" (output channels): mail, log file, database entry etc
* bind many writers to same log instance, but filter writers by level of log message (for example, really bad stuff might be sms:ed (not out of the box) or emailed (out of the box :)))
I use log4net and love it for the flexibility in its configuration. You can dynamically change up the logging so that in "standard" mode it is logging only the error and fatal messages, and then switch it over to "detailed" mode to get all of your nitty gritty debug details when something goes wrong.

[…] On the importance of logging in web development: http://www.codediesel.com/software/logging-in-web-development/ […]
I completely agree that logs are a dev's best tool. However, it's really important that any log contains enough information to correctly diagnose a problem, but not too much information that searching through it becomes difficult.
For errors of the nature you describe, I actually much prefer an email log. This allows enough information to be added to the log to actually recreate the request. You can include full GET and POST, plus a stack trace that'll hopefully show what went wrong along the way.

KID NATION: Contrived, exploitive and, yeah, I'll watch it next week
By asoglin
Thursday, October 11th, 2007 at 7:19 am in Kid Nation.
The focus on religion was a set-up, the departure of another kid was sappy, and Taylor's bitchy attitude is getting old. So, why did I like this episode better than any of the other Kid Nations?
The kids' discussion about faith showed how aware they are of the polarizing effects of religion. I initially was turned off because this opening segment was orchestrated, with the idea of a religious gathering coming from the pioneer book the kids consult each episode. Several kids initially blasted the idea of a multi-faith service, citing the battles worldwide in the name of religion and saying they feared that exposing their diverse beliefs would tear them apart. Then to see some of them come around and feel comfortable enough to conduct a multifaith prayer session showed some kind of growth. The cynic in me can't help wondering what kind of adult coaching led to that touching group session, but the kids' tears nonetheless seemed genuine.
Cody, a 9-year-old from Ohio, became the second kid out of the 40 to decide to go home. You couldn't help feeling for the little guy, although it was a bit odd to see a kid who hasn't even hit double digits yet as he staggered around heartsick, lamenting the separation from his girlfriend back home, waving around her letter and photo and taking swigs of root beer. I hate to see how he handles heartbreak after puberty. What made for compelling TV when Cody announced that he had decided to leave was seeing how upset he and his friends were. "I'm never going to see the friends I made here ever again.," Cody said. While there were some tears when Jimmy departed in Episode 1, the bonds were much stronger by the end of the fourth episode, when Cody left. "He was my best bud," Campbell said.
Taylor. Taylor. Taylor. Even the adult dude, Jonathan, may be getting tired of her, asking at one point whether she doesn't hear all the abuse or has thick skin. Taylor has become so detestable that I'm starting to wonder if it's a schtick. How do you stand out among the Kid Nation 40 and land an acting roll after the gig is up? Taylor has created an image that she could parlay into a new series about 10-year-old beauty queens.
So, I think I'm in this season for the long haul, and not just because i promised to blog it. However, I can't imagine any reason to pick it up again if there's a Season Two.
One other thing: What's with the kids drinking "shots"? There's a lot of emulation of alcohol consumption in this show.

PEARL – Sometimes breaking down a baseball game is simply a matter of perception.
In one dugout, Mississippi State came away from Trustmark Park at Pearl thinking it forced its opponent into mistakes and capitalized at the right time.
The feeling during the nearly three hour bus ride back home for Ole Miss will be consumed with mental errors that cost it a key rivalry game.
"Ole Miss helped us a little bit but we took advantage of it and that's important," Mississippi State head coach John Cohen said. "It was a sloppy ball game, but our kids hung in there."
Mississippi State came away with the Governor's Cup trophy for the first time since 2008 after a dominating 6-1 victory Tuesday night thanks to timely bloop hits and stellar pitching from a trio of underclassmen.
"I think we just put pressure on them even if they were chink hits," senior designated hitter Cody Freeman said. "We took the marginal pitch, the ball that could've been called a ball or a strike and got the call."
The Bulldogs (23-14) used the running game to confuse Ole Miss starting pitcher Matt Tracy early on as a safety squeeze by Freeman turned into the Rebels first error of the contest and sparked a two-run opening inning.
"These kinds of games are really perseverance because both us and Ole Miss are coming off big weekends," Cohen said. "To get a lead early on with these bats and a big ballpark, I think our kids really settled down when things like that happened."
Already staring at a two-run lead, right-handed starter Kendall Graveman used the large confines of Trustmark Park to his advantage by getting easy fly ball outs early in counts.
Graveman, who tied for the team-high in wins with four, was pulled after allowing just three hits in four innings that took just 34 pitches but last year's weekend starter used his sinker pitch to his advantage. The sophomore, who had struggled to find the strike zone two weeks ago in Pearl against Southern Miss, was fortunate enough to be the recipient of two line out doubles in the second and the fourth frame.
"When you can make one pitch and get two outs, it's always huge," Graveman said. "I think they saw the flag blowing more than I did. I think they were trying to lift balls and with this beautiful ballpark and these new bats, it's hard to get one out of here."
In a game where State came with a plan to use a bullpen-by-committee philosophy, left-handed sophomore Chad Girodo made a difficult for a third pitching change to occur by allowing a run over the next 3 2/3 innings. The southpaw from Hartselle, Ala., would've kept his shutout intact if not for a triple down the right field line by Ole Miss' Will Allen as the freshman plated the Rebels first run one batter later on a ground ball to the right side.
"Kendall gave up some hard-hit balls early but he got zeroes on the board," Cohen said. "You can't say enough about what Chad Girodo did, he came in and got some big swings-and-misses. And Taylor Stark got a big strikeout there, that's really the whole ball game, the punch-out ends the inning."
Two of Mississippi State's runs Tuesday were unearned and a credit of head-scratching defense by the Rebels including a fifth-inning blunder where right fielder Matt Smith simply dropped a routine fly ball off the bat of Freeman with two outs where the senior closed his glove before the ball was securely in the pocket allowing Bulldogs senior Jarrod Parks to score from first base.
"We just shot ourselves in the foot at the wrong times tonight," Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said. "They were just really dumb errors (and) a lack of concentration."
Parks, who had never won a game against Ole Miss in Pearl before Tuesday's contest, walked away with the most valuable player award following a 2-for-3 evening that included a pair of runs scored.
Freeman, whose only hit in the game produced his 21st RBI of the season, vaguely remembered a 6-5 victory three years prior against the Rebels in Pearl when the senior was coming off an injury and the Governor's Cup was his first game back.
Tuesday's victory marks the third time in school history State will have multiple wins at the ballpark that is the primary home for the Double-AA affiliate Mississippi Braves.
Mississippi State will next host the defending national champions as second-ranked South Carolina comes to Dudy Noble Field for a three-game tilt.
The Bulldogs are now 17-1 in games where they've scored six runs or more and send another message to NCAA Regional selection committee members by improving to 8-6 against teams in the Top 40 in the latest Ratings Percentage Index.
"This gives us a lot of momentum going into the weekend with them being a good club but we feel like we're a good club," Freeman said. "We showed that beating Florida and Vanderbilt and we just have to keep playing like we did tonight."

New Dubai law to boost treasury
Staff Report / 17 December 2009
DUBAI His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE, in his capacity as the Ruler of Dubai, issued a law on Thursday ordering government-linked companies to transfer surplus revenue to the emirates treasury. The law also seeks to improve control of public spending and transparency.
The law requires government departments which enjoy fiscal independence as well as government-related companies to transfer surplus revenues to the public treasury as public revenues. The law also aims to regulate government departments public spending and control government revenues, as well as to provide an accurate database for revenues and expenditures, a statement on Shaikh Mohammeds website said. turn to page 30
The law states that government entities are required to abide by a number of controls, criteria, and procedures that seek to rein in public spending and control government income and provide an accurate database about their income and spending. Government entities have to transfer their income to the governments public treasury account, and they are prohibited from retaining any part of their income or spending it on their activities or investments or utilizing it, according to the new legislation, the statement said.
The new law, Number 35 of 2009, replaces Law Number 18 of 2006 and requires all government entities to provide the government with their annual budget, which must be approved by the Supreme Fiscal Committee. The law also forces financially-independent government companies to transfer their surpluses to the public treasury.
The new law allows the companies re-invest profits and revenue surpluses before transferring them to the public treasury, with the approval of the Supreme Fiscal Committee and in consultation with Investment Corporation of Dubai, which oversees the emirates investment portfolio.
The new law stipulates the following:
1- Regulating the preparation of annual budgets of all governmental bodies, including those whose annual budgets are listed in the Governments budget, those who enjoy fiscal independence or those entities who receive financial support from the Government.
2- Governmental entities should abide by a number of controls, standards and procedures aimed at controlling public spending and governmental revenues, providing exact data on their revenues and spending. Governmental entities which enjoy fiscal independence are also governed by the new law which requires them to provide full data on their annual budgets, closing accounts and will have to rely on their own financial revenues and may only receive funds from the general budget in the form of loans that have maturity dates. The annual budgets of those entities have to be approved from the Dubai Supreme Fiscal Committee.
3- Governmental entities have to relay their revenues to the governments general budget and may not use, hold or spend any part of them on their own activities, investments.
4- Governmental entities which enjoy fiscal independence as well as governmental entities have to relay surplus revenues to the governments treasury as they are considered public revenues. The Law, with the approval of the Supreme Fiscal Committee and in coordination with Investment Corporation of Dubai, allows for re-investing profits and surpluses revenues prior to relaying them to the governments treasury. Full financial data on these profits and surpluses have to be provided to the Dubai Department of Finance so that they are listed among the governments public revenues.
5- The Law requires governmental entities with annual budgets listed in the Governments budget to transfer, to the Dubai Department of Finance, all and any funds lodged by clients in the form of refundable deposits or any other form, as per the relevant instructions to be issued by the Department.
H.H Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum also issued Law No. 34/ 2009 replacing Law No. 10/ 2006 on setting up the Dubai Export Development Corporation.
The new law is part of Dubai Governments plans to further develop its legislations to cope with the rapid changes and new developments as well as to comply with the best relevant international practices. The new law aims to further strengthen Dubais status as a global economic export and re-export hub. The provisions of Law 34/ 2009 will contribute to building Dubais export capabilities, develop its relevant programs, increase its exports, contribute to opening new foreign markets as well as strengthen existing markets to facilitate the access of products and services of companies licensed in Dubai to those markets.
The new law tasks the Dubai Export Development Corporation with the following:
1- Implementing programs and initiatives aimed at increasing and marketing exports.
2- Revising and analyzing the realities of Dubais exports as well as determining and tackling barriers to growth.
3- Providing commercial data and technical advise to exporting entities.
4- Developing and implementing initiatives aimed at raising awareness of export sector as well as the developments related to international trade.
5- Helping companies and entities develop their own capabilities to market their products at foreign markets.
Law No. 34/ 2009 also stipulates the setting up of an export marketing program aimed at increasing Dubais exports and market the products and services of licensed companies and entities operating in the emirate.
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid also issued Decree No. 58/ 2009 approving the statute of Dubai International Arbitration Centre. The new law replaces the current statute which was approved by Law No. 10/ 2004.
The new decree aims to revise the effective legislations in Dubai so that they keep pace with the new global developments and comply with the best practices adopted by advanced nations in the areas of resolving disputes through alternative approaches.
The changes which the emirate and the whole world recently had faced created an urgent need to re-consider the statute of the center so that it to increase its responsiveness to these changes as well as its effectiveness in carrying out its role in resolving disputes speedily though determined and simplified methods to further contribute to the development of Dubais investment environment. The decree stipulates amendments to the centers procedural rules, alternative methods of settling disputes etc to regulate its technical, organizational and financial structure as well as increase its productivity, efficiency and effectiveness.

Jesus Franco dies: Spanish director passes away at age 82
Jesus Franco, the Spanish director best known for his work on post-1970s horror films like "The Mansion of the Living Dead" and "Vampyros Lesbos," has died in Malaga of heart complications. He was 82.
During the course of his career, Franco directed close to 200 films. He worked in the Spanish film industry since the mid-1950s and dabbled in all manners of movie creation, including directing, acting, composing, producing, writing, editing and cinematography.
Franco's first big success was the 1962 film "Gritos en la Noche," released in the United States as "The Awful Dr. Orlof." He became known for the way he mixed horror and eroticism in his films, and became a cult favorite. In the 1970s and 1980s, Franco transitioned to directing hardcore porn, but then return to horror in the late 1980s with "Faceless." His wife and collaborator Lina Romay, who starred in many of his porn films, passed away in 2012.

Anyone watching the Top 100 players?
Mkay people. A question for you all.
I know I'm asking this pretty early on but I'm interested to see what people think currently whilst being so early.
Who will be in the SuperBowl next year?
It's tough to say this early though.
Either the Bengals or the Steelers had the draft of the year. Both teams did pretty damn well not only in the first few rounds, but at finding steals in pretty much the rest of the rounds.
Now Mike Adams was born and raised in Pittsburgh, and has been a Pittsburgh fan all of his life, so having him is great. Apparently he drove to Steelers HQ and talked to them, pretty much begging them to take him, and they decided to end up doing it, as long as he's willing to meet up to their full expectations, which the Steelers think he will.
With all this Saints controversy though, I wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers and him worked out a deal, and had him test positive on purpose, just so he'd slide to them. Lol, you never know what teams are doing behind the curtains nowadays, even if it is the Steelers.
So after those two fantastic picks that made our line go from being horrible, to maybe one of the better ones in the entire NFL, we are able to get to more guys that slide right to us, Chris Rainey and Alameda Ta'amu, Both those guys were projected to go way earlier, and we went out and were able to grab them. That defensive tackle we took in the fourth isn't a bad pick at all either, and I'm sure he'll be strutting some feathers this season.
I'm not too sure about the three other picks we had in the 7th, but getting Toney Clemons is ANOTHER great pick.
I think after this draft, Pittsburgh is going to be one of the big favorites to go to the Super Bowl this year. Heck, even if I wasn't a diehard Steeler fan, I'd think they'd be going to the Super Bowl after this draft.
If the Bengals did as good as Rome says they did, then the AFC North is going to be very interesting this year...except for the Browns, they're still going to suck.

David Schwimmer to star in adaptation of Israeli sitcom
Posted By Viva Sarah Press On February 5, 2014 @ 8:48 am In | No Comments
David Schwimmer is set to take his first major role on the small screen since Friends in the title role of the ABC comedy, Irreversible. The new series is based on Bilti Hafich — an Israeli show about how life changes when a baby joins the lives of an eccentric and self-centered couple.
Schwimmer is slated to take on the role of Andy, a writer with two books under his belt — one that did very well and one that was a complete failure. Andy is a pessimist who thrives on bungling up ordinary interactions. Since the birth of his daughter, he finds mustering up the energy to sit and write even more difficult than before.
Comedienne Adi Ashkenazi and actor Muli Shulman took the leads of Sarah and Andy in the original series.
Bilti Hafich broke record ratings in its first season in Israel. The ABC television network purchased the rights to Israel's top-rated television series back in August. Other members of the cast have not been named.

Sanford and Son is an American sitcom that premiered on the NBC television network on January 14, 1972, and was broadcast for six seasons. The final original episode aired on March 25, 1977. The show was based on the BBC sitcom Steptoe and Son.
Redd Foxx played Sanford as a sarcastic, stubborn, and argumentative antiques and junk dealer, whose frequent money-making schemes routinely backfired and created more troubles. Lamont dearly would have liked to enjoy independence but loved his father too much to leave him to his devices and schemes. Although each owned an equal share in the business and technically Fred was the boss, Lamont often found himself doing all the work and having to order his father to complete tasks and duties.
On the show's premiere in 1972, newspaper ads touted Foxx as NBC's answer to Archie Bunker, the bigoted white protagonist of All in the Family. (Both shows were adapted by Norman Lear from BBC shows.)
Fred G. Sanford was a widower (he had moved to Los Angeles from St. Louis), whose wife Elizabeth had died some two decades before. Fred had raised Lamont alone and missed Elizabeth deeply. According to Fred, his son was named for Lamont Lomax, a (presumably fictional) pitcher from the Homestead Grays. Fred was also known for insulting his sister-in-law Esther, who had disapproved of Fred marrying her sister. He would often contort his face upon Esther's entrance and make disparaging remarks to her, comparing her with King Kong and Godzilla and using colorful metaphors to describe her. Despite his stubbornness, Fred would sometimes redeem himself with acts of kindness, even to those (like Esther) who he insists he doesn't like. In the last episode of the series, Fred earned his high school diploma, and was the valedictorian of his graduating class.
Earlier in the show's run, it adhered more closely to the format laid out by its British predecessor, Steptoe and Son, with Fred and Lamont often at loggerheads over various issues. Fred and Lamont were also depicted as being equally manipulative (Fred with his constant threats of "the big one" and his "arthur-itis"; Lamont with his attempts to drive a wedge between Fred and his girlfriend, Donna, who he saw as usurping his mother's place). At times, Lamont was actually depicted as the greedier of the two; for example, in one episode he refused to sell two coffins for less than what he thought they were worth, despite the fact that they clearly upset his somewhat superstitious father. As well, Lamont sometimes received his comeuppance for being disdainful of his father's habits and ways (an example of this would be the time Lamont was upbraided by a Nigerian woman he hoped to impress by "adopting" African culture; she considered his attitude towards Fred to be disrespectful). There were even moments when Lamont was shown to be naive and foolish, such as the episode where he invited his new "friends" over to play poker; his more experienced father saw right away that they were actually out to cheat Lamont, after they had gained his confidence by letting him win a few smaller-stakes games.
As the series progressed, however, it became more focused on Fred's antics and schemes, with Lamont often adopting the role of the gentler, more open-minded progressive who attempted to broaden his father's horizons. A notable example of the softening of Lamont's character is his change in attitude towards Donna, Fred's girlfriend; early in the show's run, Lamont derided her as "the barracuda" and was openly hostile towards her (to say nothing of attempting to ruin her relationship with his father at least twice), yet an episode later in the series' run saw Lamont inviting Donna out to dinner with himself and his girlfriend, remarking that it would do his reputation good to be seen with "two lovely ladies". Similarly, Fred was initially depicted as a man who, if not always ethically or culturally sensitive, had the wisdom of experience. As the show went on, Fred was seen getting into increasingly ludicrous situations, such as faking a British accent to get a job as a waiter; convincing a white couple that an earthquake was really the "Watts subway"; taking over a play featuring George Foreman; or sneaking into a celebrity's private area, such as Lena Horne's dressing room or Frank Sinatra's hotel room. Many of these situations invariably revolved around Fred trying to make a quick buck.
One constant remained through the show, however, and that was the loyalty of father and son to each other. Even in the show's earliest episodes when one or the other left the house, seemingly for good (Lamont moved out at least twice, and at one point he even put Fred in an old folks' home), something always occurred that returned things back to normal (Lamont got homesick and worried about his father, or something didn't work out and Lamont schemed his way back in; Lamont felt lonely without his father around the house thanks to a plan Bubba and Fred hatched). Perhaps the best example of this bond between father and son occurred in the episode where a friend from Fred's past showed up and claimed to be Lamont's real father. After hearing the news, Lamont told a tearful Fred that he was "the only pop I've ever had" and as far as he was concerned, it was "always" going to be Sanford and Son (in the humorous twist that closed the episode, it turned out the friend had accidentally slept with Aunt Esther, thinking she was her sister Elizabeth).
Sanford and Son was enormously popular during most of its run, and was one of the top ten highest-rated series on American television from its first season (1971-72) through the 1975-76 season. With its coveted 8pm Eastern Friday night time slot, Sanford and Son put enough of a dent into the middling audience of ABC's The Brady Bunch to drive it off the air in 1974. Sanford and Son peaked at #2 in the Nielsen ratings during the 1973-74 season, and stayed there for three years in a row. The series was second only to All in the Family in terms of ratings. The show was still quite popular when it was cancelled (due entirely to Foxx's departure from the show) in 1977.
In 2007, Time magazine included the show on their list of the "100 Best TV Shows of All Time".
It was produced by Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin's company Tandem Productions, which was also responsible for All in the Family. The two shows had a few things in common. They were both based on popular British sitcoms and both were pioneers of edgy, racial humor that reflected the changing politics of the time. Both series also featured outspoken, working-class protagonists with overt prejudices. Sanford and Son helped to redefine the genre of black situation comedy.
In the midst of taping episodes for the 1973-74 season, Redd Foxx walked off the show in a salary dispute due to a feud with NBC in which he demanded a salary that the network claimed it could not afford. His character was written out of the series for the rest of the season. The continuity of the show explained that Fred Sanford was away in St. Louis attending his cousin's funeral and leaving his friend Grady (Whitman Mayo) in charge of the business. NBC sued Foxx and as part of the settlement, Foxx later returned. Less than ten episodes before Fred "left for St. Louis" to observe the death of his cousin, his uncle Leotus Sanford died... and he had to go to St. Louis.
After the series was canceled in 1977 (due entirely to Foxx's departure; the ABC television network gave Foxx a big raise to do a variety show and NBC refusing to give Wilson a raise), a failed, short-lived continuation featuring supporting characters titled The Sanford Arms aired. Whitman Mayo starred in a spinoff series, Grady, during the 1975-76 season.
In 1980-81, Redd Foxx attempted to revive his old hit with the short-lived Sanford (so named because Demond Wilson declined to reprise the role of Lamont for the new series).

Some material from Sanford and Son is now considered too controversial to air on network television and is routinely edited in syndication, specifically, derogatory racial references:
The show is also referenced in the films Metro and Daredevil, as well as the video game World of Warcraft.

text: HSAs Viewed as Cost-Saving Option by Employers and Account Holders By Stephen Miller, CEBS 11/16/2011 Permissions Employers and employees perceive health savings accounts (HSAs) as a viable vehicle to manage health care costs without compromising care, according to a November 2011 survey report. The 2011 Employer and Account Holder Surveys were commissioned by ACS, a provider of business outsourcing services, and conducted by Buck Consultants. Both firms are Xerox companies. The surveys collected data mostly from small and medium-sized U.S. organizations and reflect the perspective of this market segment: 86 percent of responding employers had less than 100 employees, and 75 percent had less than $10 million in revenue. Responses were received from more than 14,000 individual HSA holders and from more than 300 employers. The results show that a majority of small-to-mid-sized U.S. employers (77 percent) believe that a consumer-directed strategy that uses a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) with an HSA is key to controlling health care costs. Additionally, more than half (56 percent) of account holders said that their HSA-qualified plan provides an affordable health care option. "This year's results reveal an interesting phenomenon—HSAs are doing more than just saving consumers and employers money. They are prompting a shift in behavior that is helping employees make better decisions about their own health care," said Tom Hricik, an ACS principal. Three-quarters of respondents said the ability to control their health costs was an "extremely" or "very" important benefit of HSAs. Account holders indicated that they are: • Setting aside more money than before they had an HSA to cover potential medical costs (54 percent). • Engaging in healthier lifestyle choices (18 percent). • Researching preventive care programs (18 percent). • Shopping for lower-priced prescription drugs (28 percent). • Planning health care better throughout the year (31 percent). Moreover, compared with their prior coverage under a traditional health plan, account holders perceive that they are using medical services at approximately the same rate but are shopping for care more than before. Lower Costs Employers and employees said they are benefiting from more educated health and wellness decisions. Additionally, HDHPs were found to be less costly to employers for individual and family coverage. Employers reported that the cost of providing HSA-qualified plans was less than the cost of providing a standard preferred provider organization (PPO) plan: • The average direct cost to provide an HDHP/HSA was $5,469 for individual coverage and $9,909 for family coverage. • The average PPO cost was $7,158 for individuals and $10,691 for family. (For a related story on the costs of consumer-directed plans vs. traditional coverage, see the SHRM Online article "Per-Employee Premiums: PPOs Ranked Highest, CDHPs Lowest in Benchmarking Survey.") Surveyed employers were extremely committed to offering employer-sponsored health insurance for the foreseeable future and were equally committed to retain their HSA-qualified plans. Among employers: • Only 6 percent said they were very likely to discontinue offering the HSA-qualified plan. • Just 7 percent said they would be very likely to move employees to health care exchanges created under the health care reform law beginning in 2014. Additional Findings Among other key findings from the 2011 Employer Survey: • Employers that implemented an HDHP and HSA program had on average 49 percent of eligible employees enrolled in the HDHP. • 69 percent of employers contributed to their employees' HSA accounts. • Employers' contributions to HSAs averaged $1,000 for individual coverage and $1,500 for family coverage. Among other key findings from the 2011 Account Holder Survey: • 72 percent of account holders indicated that they chose the HSA-qualified plan actively although other plan options exist for them. • 82 percent reported that the ability to save tax-free money was "extremely" or "very" important in selecting an HSA-qualified plan. • 79 percent said having an HSA was valuable to them. • 64 percent said that their HDHP/HSA combination met their family's needs.

NINE minutes into its maiden voyage, the privately owned Falcon 9 rocket was in orbit, scoring major points for the idea of commercial space taxis. But a crucial safety hurdle still looms.
The company SpaceX of Hawthorne, California, wants to use its rocket to fly NASA astronauts to the International Space Station after the remaining space shuttles retire at the end of 2010. The success of Falcon 9's first flight on 4 June bolstered its case, but SpaceX still needs to build an ejection system. In the event of a stalled or exploding rocket, this would hurl the crew capsule away from the rocket and parachute it to safety.
Such a system whisked two Soviet astronauts to safety in 1983 when their rocket exploded on the launch pad. NASA has set the bar higher by requiring that future launchers are also capable of ejecting mid-flight, a scenario which makes ...

Feds announce Calif. pot dispensary crackdown
SACRAMENTO, Calif. Federal authorities in California vowed to shut down dozens of pot growing and sales operations in a major crackdown, saying the worst offenders are using the cover of medical marijuana to act as storefront drug dealers.
The aggressive crackdown comes a little more than two months after the Obama administration toughened its stand on medical marijuana.
Prosecutors Friday described it as the first coordinated statewide offensive against marijuana dealers and suppliers who use California's 15-year-old medical marijuana law as legal cover for running sophisticated drug trafficking ventures in plain sight.
U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner cited a 2009 federal study that 72 percent of marijuana plants eradicated nationwide were grown in California.
"California's marijuana industry supplies the nation," he said.
The actions were geared toward stopping a proliferation that has led to thousands of pot shops opening their doors across the state. The spread was fueled partly by the Obama administration's assurance two years ago that it did not plan to devote federal resources to countering marijuana outlets operating in compliance with state laws.
One example cited by the prosecutors Friday: In one Orange County strip mall, eight of the 11 second-floor suites are occupied by dispensaries and doctors' offices for doctors where healthy individuals obtain "sham" recommendations to use medical marijuana.
It is "a Costco, Walmart-type model that we see across California," said Andre Birotte Jr., U.S. attorney in the Los Angeles-area. Some people making money from medical marijuana openly revel in what some have called "the new California gold rush," he said.
Landlords leasing property to dozens of warehouses and agricultural parcels where marijuana is being grown and retail spaces where pot is sold over the counter are receiving written warnings to evict their tenants or face criminal charges or seizure of their assets, the state's four U.S. attorneys said.
"The intention regarding medical marijuana under California state law was to allow marijuana to be supplied to seriously ill people on a nonprofit basis," said U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag, the top federal law enforcement officer for the San Francisco Bay area. "What we are finding, however, is that California's laws have been hijacked by people who are in this to get rich and don't care at all about sick people."
For two years before the federal government's toughened stand, officials had indicated they would not move aggressively against dispensaries in compliance with laws in the 16 states where pot is legal for people with doctors' recommendations.
The Department of Justice issued a policy memo to federal prosecutors in late June stating that marijuana dispensaries and licensed growers in states with medical marijuana laws could face prosecution for violating federal drug and money-laundering laws. The effort to shutter California dispensaries appeared to be the most far-reaching effort so far to put that guidance into action.
Increased federal intervention will likely unify marijuana growers and sellers in a drive to change federal policy, National Cannabis Industry Association spokeswoman Melissa Milam said.
"We're not going anywhere. We're mothers, we're patients, we're family members of patients," she said. "We want to pay taxes, we want to be able to make deposits at our bank, we want to be a business."
