Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
03 Apr 2011 11:36 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, France, Kenya
French forces have taken over the airport in Abidjan as forces loyal to Cote d'Ivoire's presidential rivals continue to battle for control of the country's main city.Reporting the French intervention, state television urged the city's residents to mobilise and protect Laurent Gbagbo, the incumbent president. The channel also accused Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, of wanting to engage in genocide in the West African country.
Paris called for French citizens in Abidjan to assemble together without delay, Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, said on Sunday.France is mulling a possible evacuation of its 12,000 citizens who live in the country because of the fighting."[Sarkozy] has decided that all French citizens in Abidjan should be grouped together without delay to ensure their protection," the French president's office said.Gerard Longuet, the French defence minister, said on Sunday evening that the question of evacuation would be settled within hours."We will not expose French people to being hostages or indirect victims of confrontation between these two forces," Longuet said in an interview on French television LCI.
"Alert, alert... The French army is occupying since last night the airport of Felix Houphouet Boigny," the caption read over images of Gbagbo that were aired late on Saturday. "Seven cargo planes, transporting 100 tanks and more than 2,000 soldiers; elements of the airport squadron have been taken prisoner. Sarkozy's men are preparing a Rwandan genocide in Cote d'Ivoire. Ivorians, let us go out en masse and occupy the streets. Let us stay standing," it continued.
The latest developments come as a fierce standoff between fighters loyal to Gbagbo and his rival for power Alassane Ouattara, the country's internationally recognised leader, intensify.Gbagbo's force retook the bridge leading to his presidential palace on Saturday after the opposition had appeared poised to topple him.Pro-Ouattara forces had marched easily into the country's largest city, where they encircled the presidential palace and Gbagbo's home on Thursday and Friday.France said its forces took over Abidjan airport on Saturday to facilitate the evacuation of foreigners and sent an additional 300 troops to the country, bringing its total deployment to 1,500.
MassacreThe latest fighting follows an alleged massacre of hundreds of people in the small town of Duekoue in the west.
The United Nations mission in Ivory Coast [ONUCI] said on Saturday that traditional hunters known as Dozos had joined Ouattara's forces in killing 330 people in Duekoue.UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was "concerned and alarmed" about reports that pro-Ouattara forces may have killed civilians in a conversation late on Saturday with Ouattara, who told him his forces were not involved in the Duekoue killings.Ouattara's government said in a statement that Dozos were not part of its forces and invited international human rights organisations to investigate the killings and rights violations."The government [Ouattara's] notes with regret that the allegations of the deputy chief of ONUCI human rights division are not supported by any evidence after its preliminary investigation," the statement read.
A Catholic charity, Caritas, said up to 1,000 people had been killed by unknown attackers wielding machetes and guns. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) earlier estimated the death toll at around 800 people.
It is not clear whether the 330 counted by ONUCI were included in the figures.
Alistair Dutton, the humanitarian director of Caritas, told Al Jazeera on Sunday that members of his organisation were on an investigating team, including UN officials and representatives of other NGOs, which travelled to Duekoue on Wednesday. "There they found the aftermath of a mass slaughter of somewhere between eight hundred and a thousand people who had been killed," he said. The team found bodies lying in the streets and the bushes, he said. The victims appeared to have been civilians, Dutton said, who had been "caught up somehow between [the two] warring factions". According to Caritas, the killings occurred from Sunday 27 to Tuesday 29 March in the 'Carrefour' neighbourhood controlled by fighters loyal to Ouattara. It was not clear who the perpetrators were.The UN says it is investigating the alleged mass killings. Hundreds of UN peacekeepers are based in the town.Fleeing fightingTens of thousands of Ivorian refugees have fled into neighbouring Liberia since the fighting began. Many others remain trapped inside Cote d'Ivoire.Particularly in Abidjan, many civilians are too scared to leave their homes.With foreigners targeted in the fighting in Abidjan, many are seeking refuge.French troops have escorted about 1,400 foreigners, a third of them French, to a French military camp in Port Bouet, near Abidjan.There were no immediate plans for the French army to evacuate the other foreigners, officials said.The UN mission in the Cote d'Ivoire began evacuating some 200 members of its staff after its headquarters were repeatedly attacked, Al Jazeera's Stefanie Dekker reported. Non-essential staff were evacuated several months ago. The UN's military personnel will remain.

Posts filed under "Cognitive Foibles"
Exactly six years ago today, the markets made their ultimate low following a 57% collapse of the S&P.
I was fortunate to have been on the right side of that trade in both directions. What is most fascinating to me about that was the pushback from traders and investors — in each direction. It is revealing as to how much recency bias infects people, especially with those who have hard earned money on the line, and are watching it slowly disappear.
Lets start with a little background. What began as an intellectual exercise bloomed into something else entirely. Cult of the Bear was a look at the individual stocks in the Dow, and what could possibly go wrong with them. The Dow 6800 call was not supposed to be a forecast; rather, it was an exercise in valuing what the Dow Jones Industrials might be worth in light of issues in housing, credit and consumer spending.
It was part of a series I was doing at TheStreet.com. The key analytical starting point was this 2006 thesis:
"It starts with the consumer, who after years of spending, finally tires. Soon, it infects corporate revenue and profits. Slowly, it cascades its way across different sectors: housing, durable goods, discretionary spending, entertainment. Eventually, the decay spooks the markets."
That turned out to be rather prescient. The market topped the next year, and my rough, back of the envelope calculation that had pegged fair value of the Dow at about 9,800 (at the time when it was trading near 11,000) was dead on. I wrote of a continued Bull rally, especially in the Nasdaq, before the collapse. Why? Because that is how tops get made.
I also argued that any break of 10,000 at the same time as a Housing decline and retail sales slump (due to end of cash out refis) could lead to another 3000 point "panic drop."
I ended by saying: "If and when that happens, it likely will be the best buying opportunity in the markets since the October 2002 cyclical lows."
All told, that turned out to be more accurate than I ever imagined.
The media interviews I did around that time were defined mostly by the pushback from TV anchors. But especially noteworthy were the comments posted at Yahoo Finance. They were terribly revealing as to exactly how distorted investor psychology could become in light of any analysis with a very out of the mainstream conclusion.
It was as if no one could even imagine a market falling again.
Note that we just had a 35% drop in the S&P and a near 80% drop in the Nasdaq, a mere 5 years prior. Regardless, it served to prove the old saw that investors seemingly learn nothing from the past.
Of course, comments are where intelligence goes to die. Yahoo Finance comments were unusually inane those days – it was a pre-moderation free for all — filled with idiotic, anti-semitic, racist, full of anonymous cowards and other assorted creeps. It was so over the top that Yahoo had to revamp their comment system to screen out so many truly offensive, egregious racists.
It is a shame those comments are lost, as they were an incredibly instructive example of confirmation bias amongst investors.
Flash forward to 6 years ago today: I do a video shoot with Aaron Task of Yahoo Finance. Markets were as deeply oversold as I had ever seen them and every metric I tracked was pinned to an extreme.
We discussed investor psychology, the Fed, valuation, and other related issues. But the money quote, was simply this: "The mother of all bear market rallies is coming."
That was recorded on the 9th. It was posted the morning of the 10th, and by the end of the day, the Dow had risen 5.8 percent. (the videos do not seem to be posted at Yahoo Finance).
The same fascinating pushback took place in the comments at Yahoo (including the racist/anti-semitic nonsense). The negative experience of the collapse had left investors so shell shocked, they simply could not imagine a market going higher. Whereas the last go round I was called a perma-bear, this time, I was a perma-bull (ignore the obvious conflict there). I was a hack, in the pay of Wall Street, working for the Fed, a White House plant, shorting into the rally, and worse.
Although the silliness was disappointing — you Humans serve to make me appreciate my dogs more — It was incredibly instructive. Investors are emotional, lack objectivity, and are filled with all manner of cognitive errors.
But it also taught me that looking at the world in an objective data-driven manner, with a defendable investment process. And, I am aware of exactly how much randomness went into nailing the low.
Today, my office runs a robust asset allocation model. We are not dependent upon nailing the exact top & bottom. Instead, we are focused on long term investing. We use rebalancing to take advantage of market dislocations. We also developed a tactical portfolio in house to take advantage of events like 2008-09 — but its an adjunct part of our holdings, and not the main focus. The lessons we learned from 2008-09 have made us better investors. Hopefully, you learned something constructive as well.

It was No. 1 in 1985, but it's unacceptable for Canadian eyes and ears today.
The Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing" was ruled by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council to be "extremely offensive" and thus inappropriate for airing on radio or television because it uses an anti-gay slur.
The decision against St. John's radio station CHOZ-FM in Newfoundland was released Wednesday. In it, the panel ruled that the word "faggot" "contravened the Human Rights Clauses" and its ethics code and is "no longer" permitted "even if entirely or marginally acceptable in earlier days."
Ron Cohen, the CBSC's national chairman, told The Washington Times on Thursday that the decision effectively sets a "nationwide" precedent binding on all private license holders for TV, cable-TV and radio broadcasting. It does not cover the state-run Canadian Broadcasting Corp. or "community and university" stations.
Nor, Mr. Cohen said, does his Council have any authority over the Internet and therefore such music-delivery methods as online downloads or Internet-based book or record stores. Indeed, Mr. Cohen noted, "OZ FM could stream ['Money for Nothing'] on its Website and play it that way" without violating the ruling.
The Canadian broadcasters' "Ethics and Equitable Portrayal Code" requires them to "ensure that their programming contains no abusive or unduly discriminatory material or comment which is based on matters of … sexual orientation" among other things.
Mr. Cohen said the decision is final and not appealable. He said membership in the self-regulating Council is voluntary, though its 760 members include almost all private Canadian broadcasters.
CHOZ did not return a phone call from The Times requesting comment.
Asked about whether the decision could be appealed through courts, Mr. Cohen mentioned the case of the Quebec radio station CHOI-FM, which he said left the voluntary Council in disputes over the use of abusive language.
What happened then, he said, was that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, a government body analogous to America's Federal Communications Commission, rejected the station's bid to renew its license. As a legal case was winding its way through Canada's courts, in the CRTC's favor to that point, the license to use the frequency was sold and the case became moot.
Though the decision does not bind Canadian record stores, Canada has broad human-rights policies and tribunals that may give the broadcasting decision probative value.
Jeff Barber, owner and manager of Sonic Boom records in Toronto, said he was not sure whether his store had ever played the song or its album into the street on its external speakers, though he guessed that in 10 years of operation, it probably had.
"We certainly don't have an issue with that and would be willing to do so," he told The Times, adding that he was uncertain whether doing so would create a legal or public issue for his store.
In the song, Dire Straits' lead singer Mark Knopfler sings in the persona of an appliance-installer looking at his store's TV section and gawking "at them yo-yos [who] play the guitar on the MTV."
The manual laborer expresses a mixture of admiration, dismissal and envy about the musicians' occupation as "ain't working" but allowing them to get "money for nothing and your chicks for free."
The offending line occurs in the third verse, where the worker gawks at MTV showing "the little faggot with the earring and the makeup." Two other uses of the word occur, referring to the performer having "his own jet airplane" and being a millionaire. At the time such MTV male stars as Boy George, Softcell and the Human League either dressed as women or wore sexually ambiguous makeup.
While the full "Money for Nothing" track and its groundbreaking video both contain the offending verse, some versions of the single since 1985, for both sale and some airplay, have dispensed with the whole third verse. Shortening lengthy singles for reasons of airplay time — the full album cut runs 7 minutes and the video about 4½ — is common, regardless of content issues, in the U.S., Canada and elsewhere.
The reference to "chicks for free" and a later line about "banging on bongos like a chimpanzee" also has caused criticism of the song as sexist and racist.
Mr. Cohen said those words in the edited version of the song likely could stay because "the panel found no other problem" with the song besides the gay references.
Mr. Knopfler has said he wrote the song impromptu after overhearing some workers at an appliance shop, more or less saying what the song does, and using some of the same language.
"I borrowed a bit of paper and started to write the song down in the store. I wanted to use a lot of the language that the real guy actually used when I heard him, because it was more real," he said in 1985.
There was no immediate response to a request for comment from publicists listed at Mr. Knopfler's website.
"Money for Nothing" was a huge international hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., and the same position in Canada. It won the year's best video at one of the first MTV Video Music Awards, received the Grammy for best rock song by a group or duo, and was named one of the Top 100 guitar songs of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.
When MTV Europe began airing in 1987, "Money for Nothing," which begins with Sting's opening falsetto whisper "I want my MTV," was the first video played.

Man accused in stabbings bought knives at West Edmonton Mall, documents say
|Report an Error
Share via Email
EDMONTON—Police believe a man accused of deadly stabbings at a grocery warehouse first stopped at West Edmonton Mall and bought two large knives before heading to work.
Court documents used to obtain search warrants allege Jayme Pasieka had been drinking alcohol in his apartment on Feb. 28. They say he strapped on a military-style vest, armed himself with two small knives and went to the mall for more.
The documents say he purchased two bigger military knives at the Supply Sergeant surplus store, then drove to the Loblaws warehouse for his afternoon shift.
"It is possible that he was formulating thoughts about harming others here as he left home," say the documents. "Pasieka appeared goal-oriented and purposeful.
"Shortly after arriving at work, he began stabbing his co-workers."
None of the evidence in the documents has been proven in court.
Two men were killed and four others wounded in the bloody attack. At the time, police said an employee at the warehouse had walked through the sprawling building, slashing and stabbing the workers as he went with a knife in each hand.
The court documents further detail the victims' injuries: a total of at least two dozen stab and slash wounds. One man had a bite mark on his knee.
It's also alleged the attacker, as he was leaving the warehouse, stabbed one man in the face as he was calling 911.
Amid the chaos, police quickly identified Pasieka as a suspect and distributed his photo. He was arrested a few hours later sitting in his SUV on the opposite end of the city.
Last week, police said they were still investigating a possible motive, but it appeared the accused randomly chose his victims.
Pasieka, 30, remains in custody facing first-degree murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons charges.
Other court records indicate he has a history of bizarre behaviour. He was convicted in 2010 of assault with a weapon and uttering threats and sentenced to 15 months probation.
He admitted to egging a neighbour's vehicle and setting a heart-shaped fire on their street. He told police he did what he did in the name of the Queen and that he one day wanted to join either the police or the military.
Media reports say a psychologist had determined that Pasieka expressed paranoid ideas and was once diagnosed with depression but didn't want to take his medication. An aunt also believed he had schizophrenia because he had conversations with people who weren't there and told her he heard voices.

As well as being uber talented Wendy is such a sweet kind person and a great teacher. The project she had designed for us to made was an art box to contain 4 tags which would also be made during the day. This is Wendy showing the blank box on her left and her finished version. She had used brown tones for her sample.
We spent the morning embossing, inking and stencilling our own boxes. We were able to choose our own choice of colours.
This is mine......I went for green and browns for the base colours.
It was so lovely to catch up with new and old blogging friends. Brenda, in the middle, who kindly sent me the next 3 photos. as my camera battery died before the end of the day and Suse with me.
Julie of Juliz Designs who I met for the first time
We were all kept very busy but lots of time for chat ;0)
Lots of concentration going on here. Below are some of the ladies from Brenda's AVJ design team.
So here are my finished pieces with my own interpretations and add ons. Wendy says she is always delighted to see how her ideas get translated into so many different ways.
I love the rich colours on my box, I'm really glad I went for green as the base. Lots of stenciling and blending with archival inks. The gold embossing paste gives such a gorgeous shine.
On the top I added dots from a stamp and red to the flower pieces...it reminds me of a strawberry.
and here are my tags
Tag 1. I used blues and brown to make a distress ink background. I added a couple of stencils to the background. Wendy gave us the faux granite cup and saucer die pieces to which we added the white "dots". The little tea spoon was awesome. I also added some remnant rubs.
and one Arty shot of them all together
I would like to enter my box and tags (if they are allowed) into the following challenges;
Rhedd's Creative Sprit anything altered goes I am entering my altered box
Frilly and Funkie thing with wings my tags have plenty of wings!
Artistic stamper anything goes
Mixed Media World stencils there are lots here including the great small cross one I used on the box. Wendy also showed a great technique off setting the stencil and adding colours in tag 3 at the bottom.
Fussy and Fancy things with wings
Penny Black and More summer flowers
Try it on Tuesdays use stencils I lots and one if my favourites is the tree stencil...it's on my wish list
Papertake weekly anything goes
Thanks for stopping by. I am truly blessed by the friendships I have made via blogging. The crafting day "Making Art" with Wendy is a day I really treasure. I loved what we made but if I had to choose a favourite it was the actual box and tag 1...how cute is that cup, saucer and tea spoon! Thanks to Wendy and her team.....she really did inspire me to "Make Art".
Back on Thursday with my final GDT piece for Noor...
Bye for now,
Jane x

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
24 Oct 2010 11:08 GMT | Sport
The San Francisco Giants reached the World Series by beating the Philadelphia Phillies in a 3-2 nail-biter to clinch the National League Championship Series – and set up an underdogs' Fall Classic with the Texas Rangers.
The Giants took charge on an eighth-inning homer from Juan Uribe and survived a nervous ninth on Saturday as closer Brian Wilson walked two batters before striking out slugger Ryan Howard to end it.
The victory settled the best-of-seven series 4-2 in the Giants' favour and set up an improbable World Series against the American League champions, Texas Rangers starting in San Francisco on Wednesday.
The Giants ended the two-year run of the Phillies as National League champions, while the Rangers knocked out last year's World Series champion New York Yankees in taking the AL Championship.
"That was epic. What a battle," Wilson said in Philadelphia as a stunned crowd at Citizens Bank Park watched the Giants celebrate in the middle of the diamond.
"I hope the fans back home are going absolutely ballistic."
Outfielder Cody Ross, added late in the season on waivers from the Florida Marlins, was named MVP of the series after hitting three homers and batting .350 for the Giants.
For San Francisco, it will be their first trip to the Fall Classic since 2002 and they will be seeking their first World Series title since 1954, when they were the New York Giants.
Texas will make their Fall Classic debut in their 50th year as a franchise, born in 1961 as the Washington Senators.
"We had chances, we just couldn't cash in on them," Phillie manager Charlie Manuel said.
"We couldn't get the big hit."
Do or die
The Phillies jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning of their do-or-die game on an RBI-double by Chase Utley and a sacrifice fly to left from Jayson Werth off San Francisco starter Jonathan Sanchez.
San Francisco countered with two runs in the top of the third inning off Phillies starter Roy Oswalt.
The first run scored on a single to centre by Aubrey Huff with the second tally crossing the plate on a throwing error by second baseman Placido Polanco.
Tensions ran high in the bottom of the third when Sanchez hit Utley in the back with a pitch.
Utley and Sanchez exchanged words and looked headed for a confrontation.
Players from both benches rushed on to the field before order was restored.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy replaced the agitated Sanchez with Jeremy Affeldt and used five pitchers, including starters Madison Bumgarner and Tim Lincecum, for seven shutout innings of relief to make Uribe's opposite field shot a game-winner.
Giants general manager Brian Sabean said his team was battle-hardened and used to making the most of their modest offense.
"When you're defined by pitching, well you saw what it took tonight," Sabean said.
"It was a street fight."

MIAMI, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 04/20/14 -- Matt Argall has enjoyed significant success in his business endeavors. From a young age, Argall embarked on a series of profitable business ventures, beginning with the turn-around of a company right out of high school and followed by a string of other successes. However, Matt says that none of that would be possible if it weren't for his mother. "Every business person has someone that inspired him or her, someone who served as a role model if not an actual mentor. For me, it was my mom," Argall says. "If it weren't for my mother's example, I don't know that I would be where I am today."
Matt Argall was born in Los Angeles, but the family didn't stay in the City of Angels for long. A move to Canada happened quickly, where his parents started a chiropractic office. When Matt was eight years old, his parents decided to sell the practice for a profit and move to South Florida, where Matt remains to this day. Throughout his formative years, his mother served as a prime example of business acumen combined with compassion and understanding for others. That example has served Matt well.
Matt's first business venture came right after high school, and saw him team with his best friend to save a struggling tech company. From that point, Matt put the lessons learned from his mother and his parents' business ownership into practice and has gone on to own and operate a range of different companies in various industries, from water filtration to lending to greeting card companies and more.
Matt remains committed to being both a savvy businessperson and a confirmed humanitarian. His work with the Citizens Commission on Human Rights as well as his investment into education outreach solutions make him not only a successful business owner, but a vital support to those less fortunate.
Born in Los Angeles, raised in Canada and now a resident of south Florida, Matt Argall is a successful businessman, investor and humanitarian. He has been intimately involved with the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, as well as other nonprofit organizations focused on improving the lives and future prospects of the world's less fortunate.

First Lady Jackie on a trip with her sister, Lee Radizwell, in India. Her wardrobe for the visit was stunning, most in color saturated silks and cotton, and shaped in the types of streamlined silhouettes. I consider the dresses from this trip many of her best ever and see the influence they've had on my own wardrobe. Since color is so popular for this Spring, I thought Jackie would be the perfect inspiration for how wonderful color can be in any woman's wardrobe. White gloves not necessary.

Style Icon Jackie Kennedy Onassis As First Lady, Jackie was thrust into the spotlight. It was old family friend, couturier Oleg Cassini who put her signature look together having persuaded the first lady that she should use him as the creator of her total look, a decision that proved pivotal – setting the style for the 1960s with her clean suits, knee length skirts, 3/4 sleeves on notch-collar jackets, sleeveless A-line dresses, above-the-elbow gloves and famous pillbox hats.

MATTHEW Newton has done it again.
Miami police in the U.S. have confirmed the troubled actor has been arrested after allegedly punching a hotel receptionist in the face and resisting arrest last week.
Security footage released from the April 17 incident allegedly shows Newton involved in a verbal argument with the receptionist before he gets up and throws paper off the front desk.
A spokesman for the police department said that at some point Newton punched the receptionist.
He said Newton claimed the receptionist had "spat" in his face but there was no evidence of that on the CCTV footage.
Newton was arrested in his hotel room after the receptionist phoned police.
It was his second arrest in Miami this month.
He still has an assault matter before the courts in Australia.
On Tuesday (April 24) morning the star's lawyer Chris Murphy vented on social networking site Twitter.
"Can't cure mental illness with 'You stop that!'," he tweeted.
"Bipolar sufferers need patience & support. Matthew Newton has mine. Treatment continues."

Pot-Shop Advocates Likely To Sue City Over New Law
Final approval hasn't even been given to the city of Los Angeles' sweeping medical marijuana dispensary law and already pot-shop advocates say court-challenges are very likely.
The council on Tuesday approved an ordinance that would eventually close 475 of the 545 dispensaries operating in the city. At first it would allow 137 pot shops opened before a city moratorium went into effect in 2007 to remain open, but the ordinance would see that number whittled down to 70 through non-compliance and business-related closures.
"Yes, we will challenge," said Brian Berens, founder of the Los Angeles Collective Association and owner of the Del Rey collective Green Oasis, which won an injunction against the city's 2007 moratorium that allowed it and other dispensaries to continue operating.
Berens questions whether or not the city can build an ordinance on a pre-moratorium count of dispensaries in Los Angeles if that moratorium has been struck down. (But, he adds, that he's not sure yet what exact legal grounds might be cause for a court challenge).
"Essentially the moratorium never legally existed," he told the Weekly, "so to base an ordinance on something that didn't exist, they're going to have problems with that. We could sue on those grounds, and we would win, I've been told by my attorney."
Berens even went so far as to suggest the city drafted a flawed ordinance so it would be struck down by the courts on purpose and Los Angeles would be left with the medical marijuana scene it has today.
Some council members, including Bill Rosendahl, lamented that a stricter version of the ordinance would have killed off or severely limited the number of dispensaries in their districts. And many have had closed door meetings with medical-marijuana advocate Don Duncan, a West Hollywood dispensary owner himself. Strangely, Duncan called Tuesday's vote "a bittersweet victory."
Berens says his attorney "thinks the city government is" basing an ordinance on a flawed moratorium "so they will lose the lawsuit."
Meanwhile, Bruce Margolin, director of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and an attorney who represents some dispensaries in criminal cases, says he'll probably end up in court to test the ordinance if any of his clients are shut down under the new law.
"I'm going to challenge" the ordinance "as being unconstitutional" under state law, he said. "This law is going to force us back into the black market where we were before."
