Accommodating disabilities in the workplace can be a confusing enough process for employers. But if you have employees in one of 16 states or Washington, D.C. where state and local laws have legalized marijuana for medical purposes, you could be both dazed and confused about what to do. Courts in some states are starting to provide a little guidance, but many employers are struggling with questions about whether to modify workplace policies, such as drug testing. Some sticky legal issues, including federal preemption of state laws, whether medical marijuana patients must be accommodated under state anti-discrimination acts, and whether a patient has a legal off-duty right to use medical marijuana, remain unresolved in many jurisdictions.
Courts' Rulings on Medical Marijuana in the Workplace
Only a handful of cases have resulted in decisions that provide some guidance to employers regarding their potential liability in these situations. Almost all have sided with employers who have attempted to keep marijuana out of the workplace. Employees' attempts to rely upon the medical marijuana acts themselves, the ADA or state anti-discrimination statutes requiring an employer to accommodate a disability, or common law wrongful discharge causes of action have failed. For example:
- In June 2011, the Supreme Court of Washington held that the Washington Medical Use of Marijuana Act does not create a private cause of action for discharge of an employee who used medical marijuana and noted that the act had been amended to state that "Nothing in this chapter requires any accommodation of any on-site medical use of marijuana in any place of employment…"
- In February 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, applying Michigan law, ruled that the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act does not provide a private right of action against employers who terminate medical marijuana users. It also held that the discharged employee could not recover under a wrongful discharge theory.
- In 2010, the Oregon Supreme Court held that an employee terminated for medical marijuana use had no claim for relief under Oregon's anti-discrimination statutes, which for disability cases tracked and relied upon federal ADA law. The ADA states that an employer need not accommodate an employee's use of illegal drugs. Although the court found that medical marijuana is an "authorized substance" under state law, the state law was preempted by the Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana illegal for medicinal use.
- In 2009, the Supreme Court in Montana determined that an employee terminated for testing positive for marijuana use could not state a claim under either the ADA or Montana's Human Rights Act for an employer's failure to accommodate his medical marijuana use.
In 2008, the Supreme Court of California similarly held that medical marijuana patients cannot recover for discrimination under the state's Fair Employment and Housing Act because the California Compassionate Use Act's narrow purpose is to exempt medical users and their primary caregivers from criminal liability under state criminal statutes.
Statutory Protections for Employees
Some states, however, have written protections for medical marijuana users directly into their statutes. Here are two exemplary provisions:
- Arizona's statute states that "Unless failure to do so would cause an employer to lose a monetary or licensing related benefit under federal law or regulations, an employer may not discriminate against a person in hiring, termination or imposing any term or condition of employment or otherwise penalize a person based upon either: (1) the person's status as a cardholder [or] (2) a registered qualifying patient's positive test for marijuana components or metabolites, unless the patient used, possessed or was impaired by marijuana on the premises of the place of employment during the hours of employment."
- Rhode Island's statute states that "No school, employer or landlord may refuse to enroll, employ or lease to or otherwise penalize a person solely for his or her status as a cardholder." However, the chapter shall not permit "any person to undertake any task under the influence of marijuana, when doing so would constitute negligence or professional malpractice" or require "an employer to accommodate the medical use of marijuana in the workplace."
Whether state courts determine that these types of provisions provide a private right of action for employees or require employers to make accommodations remains to be seen. Courts have yet to address the issues.
What's an Employer to Do?
Because this area of law is still in its relative infancy, employers and those who advise them should keep their eye on court and legislative developments in their respective states. Employers, for now, appear to have plenty of defenses for maintaining the status quo in their drug testing programs or drug-free workplace policies.

CAD Falls on Declining Retail Sales & Slowing Inflation
Fed's Minutes Boost USD, Do Not Prevent Weekly Loss vs. JPY & AUD
Stevens' Comments Lead to Surge of Australian Dollar
The Australian dollar jumped and closed with a big gain yesterday after the central bank's head signaled that he may pause interest rate cuts and said that he is not going to target a particular level of the exchange rate.
Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens was speaking to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics yesterday. He mentioned impact of the strong currency on inflation:
The high exchange rate has lowered prices for tradable goods and services and so helped to hold down measures of inflation over the past couple of years.
Stevens added that "the exchange rate remains somewhat higher than one might have expected". He admitted that the currency's performance influences policy decisions, but claimed that the central bank is not targeting particular price for the currency:
This has been a relevant factor in the setting of interest rates. It is not that interest rates are seeking a particular exchange rate response, but they are being set with a recognition of the exchange rate's effect on the economy.
The Governor did not mention that the bank will act to reduce the exchange rate. Furthermore, he said that "there is a good deal of interest rate stimulus in the pipeline". Such words made economists think that the RBA will refrain from decreasing interest rates in near term as the bank will assess the impact of the current accommodative policy on the nation's economy.
AUD/USD jumped from 1.0244 to close at 1.0328 and AUD/JPY surged from 95.35 to 96.50 yesterday. EUR/AUD tumbled from the opening of 1.2871 to the closing price of 1.2762.

PORTER HEIGHTS, Texas The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office says a woman thought she was shooting at an intruder, trying to break into her home. It turned out to be her next door neighbor.
The 64-year-old woman called 911 about 9:30 Monday night saying she had shot an intruder trying to break into home on Yaupon Lane in Porter Heights. She says she heard a noise at her front door and saw the figure of a man outside. She grabbed her gun and yelled at the man, saying she would shoot if he didn't leave. When the man tried to come in anyway, she fired through the door, hitting him twice. The man was taken to Ben Taub Hospital, in Houston, where he was pronounced dead.
The Sheriff's Office has identified the man who was shot as 27 year old Samuel Keen, the woman's next door neighbor. The Sam Houston State graduate was also a Houston firefighter and a Marine.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Keen had been out drinking with friends and had taken a cab home from the bar. They believe Keen was intoxicated when he arrived at his neighbor's house.
No charges have been filed against the woman. The case will be presented to a Grand Jury.

When it comes to mortgage applications, where, exactly, does the customer? responsibility begin?
Gemma Harle
Peter Welch is head of sales and distribution at Bridgewater Equity Release
One of the common challenges I'm posed by equity release advisers is how to effectively market equity release advice. Despite the undisputed latent demand for the products the UK public still, for whatever reason, isn't ready to see equity release as a mainstream retirement financial planning solution.
This got me thinking about why this might be the case. One obvious answer is that those in later life often assume the easiest and most straightforward way of releasing equity is to sell their home and buy a cheaper one – trading down, or for some they may opt to move into rented accommodation.
This certainly makes sense as the UK is a home-owning nation; many older people live in their own homes and this is their most valuable asset. Fifty years ago the average home cost about £2,500 now the figure is more like £160,000 which is why many retired people are choosing to move to a smaller, less expensive property and bank some of the gains they've made during their working lives.
The number of people making this choice is increasing as are the number of reasons for choosing to move. For example, moving to a smaller property means lower upkeep costs such as council tax, gas, water and electricity. And many retired people simply want a property that is more manageable during their later years.
Now you may be asking yourself, what's this got to do with generating equity release business? Well, those who know me will be aware of my interest in, and study of, psychotherapy. When working with individuals who are very resistant to change therapists sometimes use paradoxical interventions, for example, someone working on weight loss but with no success might be asked by their therapist to "go away and put on more weight". This will often have the reverse effect and the subject will end up losing weight – the opposite to what they were asked to do.
A possible area I'm suggesting advisers might want to invest marketing effort into is a 'trading-down' service. This could (for a fee) include initial advice to older customers on the pros and cons of trading down, negotiating fees with estate agents, solicitors, removal companies, etc plus negotiating the sale price of the home with buyers and the purchase price of the new home with vendors. Additionally, customers may need help with how best to invest the cash released as well as general 'in retirement' financial planning advice. Finally, there are opportunities for ancillary product sales such as buildings and contents insurance, utilities, wills and even funeral plans.
Such a proposition should sit very neatly with the services offered already by equity release advisers and is a possible area for diversification.
Now, back to my point on paradoxical interventions. Marketing the benefits of trading down will inevitably get customers thinking seriously about this option. Then, either on their own, or maybe with the help of an adviser some customers will exclude moving as an option as it won't work for their personal circumstances. For many moving house is not a suitable choice, either because they like where they live or they don't want the costs and inconvenience of moving house during later life. In percentage terms I estimate the cost of moving from a £300k to £200k property to be at least 10% of the cash released if you include estate agent, legal, stamp duty and moving costs. Finally, there may not be a sufficient difference between what they can sell and buy at to make the exercise worth while in the first place.
Therefore, for those who don't want to trade down, or who can't trade down, equity release should come into the equation as an option worth serious consideration. The point is that by providing a service for non-equity release solutions you should develop a growing client base for equity release. Advisers need to make sure they are there at the start of the decision-making process and they can certainly do this by broadening and diversifying their service to reflect the fact that there is no 'one size fits all' for those considering their later life options.

Tommy A wrote:
Would I be correct in saying that, as an under 50 with 6 years paid off my mortgage, equity release would not be an option for me? I'm looking at a business start up and am considering my options for this venture to raise some much needed capital, but risk is obviously a important part of this decision!

|Safety of botulinum toxin type A in children younger than 2 years.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19036619 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) has been used in many indications and is licensed for the treatment of spasticity in children older than 2 years. However, there are few reports of BoNT-A treatment in patients younger than 2 years of age. AIMS: To review retrospectively the safety data from all infants treated with botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) before 2 years of age in a paediatric neurology unit. METHODS: There were 74 infants: 28 received the first dose before 1 year of age, and 46 between the ages of 1 and 2 years. RESULTS: In the first year of life, the most frequent indication was obstetric brachial palsy (OBP) (71.4% of cases) and in the second year, cerebral palsy (CP) (73.9%). Both Botox and Dysport, the two commercially-available BoNT-A products in Spain, were used. The average starting dose by session was 6.55 U/kg body weight Botox in infants in their first year of life, and 8.4 U/kg body weight Botox and 21.1 U/kg body weight Dysport in the second year of life. Only 3.6% of cases treated in the first year and 6.5% of those treated in the second experienced adverse events (AEs), which consisted of mild weakness or tiredness lasting 1-4 days. CONCLUSIONS: BoNT-A has a good safety profile in infants younger than 2 years old. AEs are similar to those found in older children.

TUPELO – Students in Alicia Goddard's fourth-grade class at Rankin Elementary sat around several tables on Tuesday and faced a whiteboard filled with various multiplication problems.
It was part of a drill during which the 22 fourth-graders spent about 30 minutes getting peppered with questions involving the sevens on the multiplication tables.
For much of that time, nearly every student had his or her hand raised, eager to become the next person to participate in the lesson. Several of those students leaned forward in their seats, trying to increase their chances of being chosen.
The problems were being displayed on a Promethean board, an interactive whiteboard that is able to connect to the Internet, project educational activities and allow for students to write answers, among other features.
"It takes something you have to practice daily, and it makes it less routine and monotonous," Goddard said.
New drill sergeant
On this particular day, Goddard searched the Promethean's online database to find a series of activities that would allow her to drill her students on the sevens on the multiplication table.
The lesson began with a video, and students sang along as different numbers were multiplied by seven. By the end of the song, all of the students in the class were standing, and many were dancing and swaying.
There was an activity featuring several problems whose answer was covered by an object. A student had to say the answer and then approach the whiteboard and use a special pen to move the object and reveal whether he or she was correct.
"We're not in the textbooks all day," said fourth-grader Anna Roberson, 10. "We get to get up and do stuff on the board."
In another activity, students were given a number and a multiplication problem and had to determine whether the given number or the multiplication product was larger.
They had a memory game in which they had to match problems and their answer and a maze in which they had to direct a jet to an aircraft carrier by following a trail of the correct answers to several multiplication questions.
For each activity, one student would walk to the Promethean and use a special pen to write an answer or move an object or trace a path through the maze. As one student answered the question, many classmates clamored to be chosen to solve the next one.
"It is fun," said fourth-grader Braxxton Foster, 9. "You get to do more things on it."
Classmate Fuller Alvarez, 9, said he enjoyed getting to come to the front of the class and write on the interactive board.
"The fact that they can interact with the board keeps them engaged throughout the lesson," said Goddard, who said she tries to use the board with her lessons at some point every day.
The use of such interactive projectors, such as Promethean, Mimio and SMART boards, has grown recently throughout Northeast Mississippi.
The Tupelo Public School District is trying to add more of them, particularly in third to fifth grade, where students aren't supplied with laptops.
Rankin Elementary currently has seven Promethean boards, and principal Anna Guntharp said the goal is to expand that number until every classroom has one. Other classrooms currently have LCD projectors, which allow them to display activities and videos but do not allow for the student interaction.
"It helps with multi-sensory learning," Guntharp said. "They get to use movement, and they get to use visual and audio learning. I really like that we are able to address different students' learning styles with technology."

Syngas Capacity by Feedstock
Gasification facilities consume a variety of carbon-based
feedstocks, including natural gas, coal, petroleum, petcoke, biomass,
and industrial wastes. From the 2010 database, the "World Gasification
Operating Capacity – by Feedstock" chart shows that coal now dominates
as the feedstock in 51% or 36,315 MWth of syngas capacity,
representing 53 plants. Petroleum (including fuel oil, refinery
residue, and naphtha) is the second leading feedstock, with 17,938 MWth,
or 25% of total gasification capacity, covering 56 plants. Natural gas
provides 22%, with petcoke about 1% and biomass/waste accounting for
Exhibit 1. World Gasification Operating Capacity – by Feedstock
Syngas Capacity by Product
The flexibility and versatility of gasification plants enable them
to offer a wide range of products, including liquid transportation
fuels, chemicals, fertilizers, power, steam, gaseous fuels, and various
other products (e.g., ammonia and hydrogen). The "World Gasification
Operating Capacity – by Product" chart shows that, for operating plants
identified in the 2010 database, chemicals and liquid transportation
fuels represent the leading products with 45% and 38%, respectively, of
the world gasification capacity. Chemicals are generated at 112
plants and liquid transportation fuels at five plants. Other products
are power (11%) and gaseous fuels (6%). Power generation occurs
presently at 17 gasification plants worldwide.
Exhibit 2. World Gasification Operating Capacity – by Product
Syngas Capacity by Technology
According to the 2010 database, at least 15 different gasification
technologies are now in operation in plants around the world. However,
three commercial technologies are currently dominant and hold 89% of
the 2010 world market. As illustrated in the "World Gasification
Operating Capacity – by Technology" chart, Shell leads the way with 45
plants, accounting for 41% of world gasification capacity, or 28,822 MWth of syngas output. Sasol Lurgi gasifiers are used at nine plants, representing 25% (17,753 MWth) of the total, and GE gasifiers are used at 67 plants, representing 23% (16,334 MWth) of total syngas output. The remaining 11% is spread among a dozen other gasification technologies.

|Contralateral hip and knee gait biomechanics are unchanged by total hip replacement for unilateral hip osteoarthritis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21903396 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Both the hip and knee contralateral to a total hip replacement (THR) have an increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA) progression, and ultimate joint replacement. It is also known that abnormal gait contributes to OA progression. For these reasons, we conducted a longitudinal analysis of contralateral hip and knee gait during the first year after unilateral THR to determine whether abnormal contralateral gait biomechanics emerge after THR. We analyzed the sagittal plane dynamic range of motion and 3D peak external moments from the asymptomatic hip and knee contralateral to a THR in a group of 26 subjects, evaluated preoperatively, and 3, 12, 24, and 52 weeks after THR, and a group of control subjects. We used t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA to test the hypotheses that contralateral hip and knee gait parameters are normal preoperatively, but change after THR. Preoperatively, the contralateral hip abduction moment and the contralateral knee adduction, flexion, and external rotation moments were significantly higher than normal in the THR group (p≤0.048). Apart from the peak hip extension moment, which decreased three weeks after surgery but returned to its preoperative value thereafter, there were no longitudinal changes during the study period (p≥0.141). Preoperative gait abnormalities persisted postoperatively. Notably, the contralateral knee adduction moment was 32% higher than normal in the THR group. These results indicate a biomechanical basis for the increased contralateral OA risk after unilateral THR, and suggest that some patients may benefit from strategies to reduce loading on the contralateral limb.

Fake Firefox Update Includes Trojan
According to various reports, some users have recently received a Firefox update notification to their emails with a download link for you to try.
Don't worry though; it does actually include a Firefox 5.0.1 installer. However, it is bundled with a Trojan horse, which is not exactly what people prefer.
It looks like Firefox related emails are getting more and more popular as just yesterday we have received a message informing us about the "Mozilla Firefox Inc Lotto" winnings.
Any takers?

Southampton revival gathers paceComment on this story
London – Premier League side Southampton will be hoping their return to the English top flight proves to be a season of two halves as they fight to preserve their elite status, and the signs look promising.
Jason Puncheon's searing volley clinched a point at European champions Chelsea on Wednesday, and kept the visitor's newly found momentum ticking.
The 2-2 draw gave Saints five points from their last three games – the first three after the midway point of the season.
In contrast, it took Nigel Adkins' side 11 games to amass their first five points.
Having been humiliated 5-1 at home by Chelsea in the FA Cup less than two weeks ago, Southampton might have been forgiven for approaching the Londoners' lair with trepidation.
The omens were hardly encouraging when they fell behind 2-0 by halftime but a firm headed goal by Saints' leading goalscorer Rickie Lambert clawed the visitors back into it.
Puncheon's superb strike 15 minutes from the end grabbed a share of the points.
"This is a massive point for us especially away at a place like Chelsea," Puncheon said. "It's 12 games that we've got 18 points from now," he continued.
"And, if you compare that with the first five or 10 matches then there's a big difference which is good to see, and we're all buzzing really."
Having lost eight of their first 10 Premier League matches, Saints desperately reshuffled their defence and as a result have suffered only two defeats in their last 10 league outings.
Manager Adkins praised his side's resilience at Chelsea, a quality which will likely prove vital in a second half of their campaign.
"The two goals that we conceded we could have cleared a little bit better in the penalty area, especially the one right before half time.
"That could have been a real sucker blow – as it was in the FA Cup when they scored against us right before half time – but the players showed great character to come out in the second half and stick to the game plan," he told Southampton's club television SaintsPlayer.
"We had great impact coming off the bench and to go and claw two goals back the players deserve real credit."
While the focus of Adkins' message was teamwork and communal effort, he did reserve a word of praise for Puncheon's strike – a goal straight out of the book of Southampton great Matt le Tissier.
"Wow – what a finish," the manager smiled.
Southampton lie in 15th spot with 22 points, three points and three places above the drop zone.
Manchester United lead the standings with 55 points, seven ahead of their local rivals and reigning champions Manchester City, with Chelsea in third a further six points back. – Reuters

Hatsan AT44PA PCP Air Rifle
Posted on January 17, 2013
The Hatsan company out of Turkey is producing some very interesting guns these days. The Hatsan AT44PA PCP Air Rifle is actually a pump action which may be unique in the PCP world and it features a reliable 9 round clip. In .25 cal this gun be an effective short range show stopper. Closer quarry wouldn't stand a chance and if you need a follow up shot it's there with the flick of the wrist. We've heard some pretty good things about the Hatsan's Quattro trigger as well. JSB 15 grains will do about 840 fps for around 50 shots.

At Federal Trade Commission headquarters a joint press conference was held to announce the results of "Operation Tele-PHONEY," a joint operation of the FTC with more than 30 law enforcement partners from the United States and Canada. The sweep included a range of cases targeting telemarketing fraud such as pitches for advance-free loans and credit cards, supposedly free gifts and prize promotions, medical prescription drug plans, tax rebates, magazine subscriptions, and "low-cost" household products. Commissioner Kovacic also announced a new consumer education campaign that would include a web site and other materials designed to help people avoid becoming victims of telemarketing fraud. close

City of Poughkeepsie officials have been meeting with consultants about various revitalization efforts in core areas. Here, the former Luckey Platt Department Store building on Main Street is seen from College Hill Park in Poughkeepsie.
- Filed Under
The irony is palpable: The City of Poughkeepsie has been beset by major problems at a time when there are examples of progress and so much raw potential.
On the downside, violent crime continues to be a major impediment to the city's growth, and finances are troubling.
But strong plans have emerged for the city's waterfront, tied, in part, to the great fortune of the Walkway Over the Hudson. And a concerted effort is being made to improve many other parts of the city, including Main Street and the downtown area.
To that end, the public will get a chance tonight to hear a presentation from consultants who have put forward some powerful ideas. The Pace University Land Use Law Center and planning consultant Kevin Dwarka have been working with city officials on this endeavor.
They are focusing on restoring the core blocks of Main Street as the central business district, hoping to fill vacant spaces, improve public transit opportunities, see the east-west arterials become more friendly to bikers and walkers, and eventually open Market Street to two-way traffic.
More than a decade ago, the city reopened a pivotal portion of Main Street to two-way traffic and ripped out the Main Mall Plaza. Overall, the city is better for that, but it surely has been no panacea. And the recession definitely took its toll, stopping or delaying other plans for restoration throughout the city. But the consultants say Poughkeepsie still has advantages, including the potential to attract people more interested in living in a city environment than the suburbs.
They also see solid connections between the waterfront and core downtown area, believing more residential opportunities around the Poughkeepsie train station in particular can bolster the city's fortunes.
To accomplish any one of these goals, the city will need considerable help. Poughkeepsie has high poverty and unemployment rates. It has too many abandoned homes and is struggling to pay its bills and keep basic services in place. To improve streets and take on other considerable projects, the city must partner with county, state and federal officials to make the most out of available grants and other sources of public money. The city also has to have strong partnerships with nonprofits and private developers to get any substantial changes in place.
But, first, the city needs a unified vision. Tonight's meeting provides another opportunity to join that discussion, and residents of the city and others concerned about Poughkeepsie's future should seize it.

I would like to warn everyone of a scam I fell for recently.
I was contacted by a person stating that there was a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the siding on my home. "Bill" came by the next day and showed me damage and that I could be included in the lawsuit. He had a company badge and paperwork and answered all my questions.
I was told I would have to pay an "admin fee" to join, which I did. I don't trust easily, and I don't throw money at anyone who knocks at my door. I was ignorant, but I wasn't seeing dollar signs. The amount he said I may receive wouldn't even cover the cost to repaint the house.
After not hearing back from anyone, I became suspicious. The phone number I was given is disconnected, and the check was cashed at my bank the day after I wrote it.
"Bill" was convincing, and I wanted to write this so nobody else falls for it.
And to "Bill": You were good. You fooled me. Why don't you use the talent you have to get a job instead of being a thief?

Frazier moves ahead with construction projects
The Frazier School Board unanimously approved the next step in the process of getting Pennsylvania Act 34 approval for the construction of a new junior high/elementary school building at the monthly meeting on Thursday evening.
Mark Scheller, project architect at Eckles Architecture and Engineering Inc., provided board members with a draft of the Act 34 Project Description Booklet.
"It is part of this next process, which is where we present to the district, to the community, what the project entails," Scheller said.
The process will involve holding a public hearing to present the plans and take comments from the public. That information will be submitted to the state for review. A tentative date for the hearing would be May 22, or 20 days after the hearing is advertised.
The state will then require the district to wait an additional 30 days for additional public comment before proceeding.
Scheller said the tentative maximum cost for the project is $24,566,295. He emphasized the figure is an estimate of the maximum amount the board is authorizing, not the actual cost of the bids, which should come in under that amount. The district cannot begin receiving bids or do additional financing over the $20 million already approved until state approval is received.
Also providing information for the board was Dave Esposito, principal architect at Eckles.
In June 2012, board members agreed to commit to a $20 million bond issue.
The resolution to start the process to set the public hearing passed unanimously Thursday.
In other business:
• Approved Mike Steeber as head football coach, Mandy Hartman as head volleyball coach, Larry Mikesell as head golf coach and Joe Turek as head cross country coach.
• Heard a report from John Phillips, supervisor of buildings, grounds and maintenance, during the work session, about the condition of the roof over the district offices. Phillips said the rubber roof over the structure is aging and has begun to pull away from the building at the edges, causing leaks. Phillips said he would like to see an asphalt roof on the building.
According to Phillips, there are older asphalt roofs on buildings in the district that are still in good shape.
Phillips will get specifications and present cost estimates to the board during the next work session.
The next board meeting will be held May 22.

The best hope for stopping the flow of oil from the blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico has been compared to hitting a target the size of a dinner plate more than two miles into the earth, and is anything but a sure bet on the first attempt.
Bid after bid has failed to staunch what already has become the nation's worst-ever spill, and BP PLC is readying another attempt as early as Wednesday to capture the oil, this one a cut-and-cap process.
That's the day forecast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showing the oil spill coming near the Alabama coast.
The forecast shows it heading almost directly toward the mouth of Mobile Bay. The possible area of the spill extends to a barrier island of Mississippi and Alabama.
Gov. Bob Riley initially planned to protect Mobile Bay by using oil-blocking booms to create gates for ship traffic to use entering and leaving the bay. But officials with the Alabama State Port Authority said the plan failed because of a shortage of boom and unusually strong currents.
Federal officials have acknowledged that the cut-and-cap process will likely, at least temporarily, cause 20 percent more oil -- at least 100,000 gallons a day -- to add to the gusher.
Using robot submarines, BP plans to cut away the riser pipe this week and place a cap-like containment valve over the blowout preventer. The company hopes it will capture the majority of the oil, sending it to the surface.
"If you've got to cut that riser, that's risky. You could take a bad situation and make it worse," said Ed Overton, a Louisiana State University professor of environmental sciences.
The latest attempt to capture the well comes after BP failed to plug the leak Saturday with its top kill, which shot mud and pieces of rubber into the well but couldn't beat back the pressure of oil.
But the best-case scenario of sealing the leak is two relief wells being drilled diagonally into the gushing well -- tricky business that won't be ready until August.
"The probability of them hitting it on the very first shot is virtually nil," said David Rensink, incoming president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, who spent most of his 39 years in the oil industry in offshore exploration. "If they get it on the first three or four shots they'd be very lucky."

Patriots Players Earn Long Weekend
By: Derek Havens
After back-to-back full-pads practices Wednesday and Thursday, Bill Belichick has given players a long weekend off. Players are off Friday-Sunday, which should give them a much deserved opportunity to rest. SInce players also had Monday and Tuesday off this week, the Pats should come out of their bye week relatively healthy at this point in the season. With a slue of injuries towards the end of the regular season, this is key for the Pats to make a Super Bowl run.
The Patriots' first playoff game, in the AFC divisional round, will be Sunday Jan. 16 at 4:30 p.m. ET. By the end of the weekend, the Pats will know if their next opponent is Kansas City, Baltimore, or New York.

Limitless (Movie Review + More): How Crazy Brain Supplements Can Transform You Into Einstein On Steroids!
How To Gain Limitless BrainCapacity With Nootropics & Brain Supplements..
Imagine a world in which you can pop a pill that turns you into Einstein on steroids. A supplement that opens your own personal Pandora's box, allowing you to transform yourself from a procrastinating facebook addict to a marvelous entrepreneur setting up businesses like facebook before breakfast.
Now take this idea and apply it to a depraved writer who accidentally gets access to a supply of top-secret brain supplement and uses it to transform himself into a writer with the abilities of Hemingway and Dickens combined and multiplied, and tada, you got Limitless!
Of course, when you get access to a bunch of ultra-secret brain supplements, you unfortunately also get access to a bunch of trouble, and Eddie, our hero of the movie, soon finds himself as an existential slave to the nasty side-effects that come with ultimate cognitive enhancement.
Fortunately, the fact that the actual brain supplement operates on the commonly-heard urban myth that we humans only use 10% of our beloved neural blob can't spoil the fun (the brain supplement he finds magically allows for 100% brain utilization of course); De Niro's witty acting and sweet camera work make more than up for it.
Brain Supplements & Nootropics & The Implications On Your Life
Besides providing a decent and entertaining movie though, limitless also expresses some interesting hypothetical situations which relate to the ethical issues experienced with brain supplements nowadays or in the future.
Poor Eddie, for example, gets to deal with the rather lethal side effect of his newly found magic pills; if he doesn't keep taking them, he quickly becomes as stupid he was before and dies slowly.
This dependence on his little supplement causes him to crave it like a hungry lion craves a juicy gazelle. Combine this with a bunch of angry mobs that is also chasing Eddie, and you got quite the situation for our poor protagonist.
Maybe even more interestingly however, is that this situation also illustrates a possible real life scenario; a college student that takes Ritalin for example, a currently available compound that positively affects attention, in order to study for his horrendous exams might develop a psychological dependence on Ritalin in the form that he is unable to study if not on Ritalin.
Now I have tested Ritalin while studying for exams myself and I'll be the first to admit that it indeed has a very profound effect, but I also quit using it after a few weeks to avoid growing any form of dependence.
A limitless future?
This seemed like the better thing to do due to the limited info on the long-term effects of Ritalin. You don't want to be playing Russian roulette with crazy brain supplements when you're not sure what you're up for.
Nonetheless, such issues are solved with the existence and developments of other, more conventional and safe, brain supplements. Nevertheless, always do your research carefully when choosing the right brain supplements
Whether or not we'll ever see a world in which people can take a Limitless brain supplements and pretend to be Einstein on steroids like Eddie remains questionable.
Regardless, brain science will never stop improving our understanding of the human brain, and the limitations of the possibilities of your cognitive enhancement in the future lie only in your own imagination.
In the meantime, I'm working hard on an ultimate guide to brain supplements that will provide you with knowledge about all the different brain supplements out there, as well as where to actually get them, stay tuned!
P.S. the movie is pretty cool; worth a watch!

by Vendée Globe
With the Vendée Globe start only four months away, on November 10th 2012, it is check-up time for Kito de Pavant's yacht. The rudder blades, the hydraulic system and several other parts will be tested - and possibly replaced - so the monohull is as reliable as possible.
Technical check-up for Groupe Bel - Vendée Globe 2012
Just like cars, yachts sometimes need servicing. With already 100,000 nautical miles under her belt - more than four circumnavigations - Kito de Pavant's monohull now needs a technical check-up. After so much sailing, the yacht's mast and keel have been removed and Groupe Bel has been taken out of the water and parked under her tent. She has then been thoroughly dismantled so all her parts could be sent out to be checked. The rudder blades have been taken to the Brest shipyard. 'It has to be done in Brest because there are parts of the rudder blade that can't be controlled with the tools we have. They have material and techniques usually used for the Navy there and they can scan the rudder blade to check it entirely', the Groupe Bel explains. As for the hydraulic system, it had been shipped to Milan to be taken care of by Cariboni and his team. This is an important step for Kito de Pavant: 'They will control the hydraulic jack, the pieces that make the keel pivot. It's a key thing that really needs to be checked, just like some other important parts.'
In addition to the checks on the rudder blades and the hydraulic system, the rest of the equipment will be replaced by new material: lines, sails and fittings equipment, titanium hooks, in-board engines, batteries, hydrogenerators, the video system, etc... 'These are parts that get regularly replaced, especially as the Vendée Globe is starting soon. But having a brand new equipment doesn't mean everything is going to work perfectly!' says Kito de Pavant. Changes will also be made on the mast, which is currently being built at Formula France while the two semi-shells are fired before being assembled in the next few weeks. Ultrasound checks are scheduled for July 26 and 27 while the mast should be delivered by the beginning of September. 'We'll sail to test the new parts in September and October and we're going to do it very thoroughly just to make sure everything works just fine. The goal is not to achieve better performances but to have a more reliable yacht'.
The emphasis will also be on safety, the waterproof quality of the doors and panels, ergonomics and the look of the yacht. The specific equipment required for a round-the-world race will be installed on board (heating devices, extra pilot, extra satellite dish, etc…) As for Kito de Pavant,he will now work on his boat - at least on what is left of it – during the summer. Even though he will be disappointed not to be able to enjoy the sunny weather of the Mediterranean Sea, de Pavant is looking forward to resuming his sailing sessions in September.

BREAKING: Obama Files Appeal Defending DOMA
Posted By Eric Ethington on October 12, 2010
The Obama Administration has just filed a notice of appeal in Massachussettes, seeking to defend the Defense Of Marriage Act against a Judge who ruled it unconstitutional back in July. Still waiting to see our 'fierce advocate' leap into action.
This is why I hate the two-party system. The Republicans openly fight against our rights, and the Democrats talk nice so we'll open our wallets but when pushed to the wire don't do a thing for us. I'm really feeling like the only politicians I can trust are our local Democrats.
The Obama administration filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in support of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act that barred gay marriages, even though President Barack Obama had previously opposed the law.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro in Boston ruled in July for several gay couples who had argued that the Defense of Marriage Act interfered with the rights of states to define marriage.

I think McCain just had a heart attack.
Mr. President– I refused to open my wallet until I saw how you were going to handle important issues that you promised you'd take care of. Well you blew it and so NO DOE!
I wonder if Hillary is really considering running against him in 2012?
Ummm, it looks like any president would have had to "defend" DOMA. One of the first paragraphs you link to says:
"Although Obama opposes the law, a Justice Department spokeswoman said that the administration was defending the statute because it was obligated to defend federal laws when challenged in court.
"As a policy matter, the President has made clear that he believes DOMA is discriminatory and should be repealed," said Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler. "The Justice Department is defending the statute, as it traditionally does when acts of Congress are challenged.""
That sounds to me like exactly the same thing as Schwarzenegger "defending" Prop 8, and I don't like that you didn't at least address this in your article.
[…] So, my cohort Eric Ethington, over at Pride In Utah, has posted several times recently about how the DOJ, under Obama, is going to appeal the ruling against DADT and the one against DOMA. […]

San Angelo man jailed on $250,000 bail in shooting incident
SAN ANGELO, Texas - A San Angelo man was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon involving bodily injury Thursday night.
Edward Jermaine Wilson, 18, known as "Big Bird," was arrested in connection with a shots fired call that occurred Monday, according to an affidavit filed with Justice of the Peace Precinct 4 Eddie Howard.
San Angelo police responded to the call in the 2100 block of Lakeside Avenue in west central San Angelo. The report was made by nearby residents who were not involved in the altercation, the affidavit states.
A woman at the scene of the shooting told police her boyfriend had been involved in a fight with Wilson and another man, the affidavit states.
Her boyfriend was confronted by Wilson and the other man in the front yard of the residence on Lakeside Avenue, according to the affidavit. While the boyfriend and Mitchell's companion fought, Wilson got a pistol from a truck and shot at the boyfriend, it states, after which Wilson and his companion fled from the residence.
Officers determined that the boyfriend had a wound and appeared to have been grazed by a bullet, the affidavit states.
Both the boyfriend and SAPD Detective Antoine Callum, who was assigned to the investigation, said Wilson goes by the name of "Big Bird," the affidavit states. The boyfriend picked Wilson out of a photo array as the man who shot at him, it states.
According to the affidavit, Wilson has been suspected in multiple shootings and at least one aggravated robbery in the past year and a half. Contacted Friday morning, Tracy Gonzalez, public information officer for the SAPD, said she was compiling further information about other cases in which police suspected Wilson was involved.
Wilson, who was arrested about 9 p.m. Thursday in the 300 block North Main Street, remained in the Tom Green County Jail at 1:10 p.m. Friday in lieu of $250,000 bond.
Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon involving bodily injury is a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines.
