The Second Coming
by William Butler Yeats
Analysis: Calling Card
Unexplained symbols! The weirder the better. Falcon, sphinx, "rough beast," and Bethlehem: what's the connection? You figure it out! Yeats isn't giving any help. This is a trait that many of Yeats's most famous works have in common. He likes to take symbols from a variety of sources – the Bible, history, folklore, and his own plays; put them in the blender; and Presto! A Yeats poem.

Windbreaks, Shelterbelts, Plant trees for windbreaks, Windbreak, Shelterbelt
Windbreaks or shelterbelts are plantings of single or multiple rows of trees or shrubs established for environmental purposes. The height of the tallest row and overall density of foliage and branches of an individual planting greatly influence the size of the nearby area that is protected or sheltered.
Windbreaks or shelterbelts are "environmental buffers" that are planted in a variety of settings, such as on cropland, pasture, and rangeland, along roads, farmsteads, feedlots, and in urban areas. They are generally established to protect or shelter nearby areas from troublesome winds. Such plantings are used to reduce wind erosion, protect growing plants (crops and forage), manage snow, and improve irrigation efficiency. Windbreaks also protect structures and livestock, provide wildlife habitat, improve aesthetics, and provide tree or shrub products. Also, when used as a living screen, windbreaks control views and lessen noise.
OFS Foresters are available to provide on-site recommendations, information and design for new windbreaks and shelterbelts in addition to providing assistance to renovate existing plantings.
For more information about windbreaks, visit the National Agroforestry Center's Website.

Zac Efron and "That Awkward Moment" costars, Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller made an appearance on TODAY on Jan. 21. Wetpaint reported on Jan. 21 that Efron was anything but awkward as he and the others discussed their upcoming movie.
When TODAY host Savannah Guthrie brought the subject around to the 26-year-old's recent stint in rehab, though, things were a bit less than light-hearted. Efron sought rehab twice during 2013 for an alleged drug addiction.
She asked how life has been since rehab, to which the actor replied, "I'm in the best place I've ever been. I've never been this happy before."
He nodded at both of his cast mates before continuing. He said he was "extraordinarily grateful" to the two young men and he was happy to be able to be there to promote their movie together. He later said =Jordan and Teller were "the best young actors I've ever worked with."
Efron remained cool and composed in spite of the touchy subject. He even thanked Guthrie for her concern and for asking about his recovery.
Judging by his appearance on the show, his broken jaw has healed well and he seemed to be healthy and content. Hopefully 2014 will be a better year for the former Disney star.

Ella Enchanted
by Gail Carson Levine
Ella Enchanted Chapter 16 Summary
- Sir Stephan is a talkative fellow, so Ella learns all about his family, his dogs, etc. Sounds fascinating. Well, it's probably better than trout forks.
- Ella is worried about missing the wedding, but her horse refuses to go any faster.
- While they chat, Ella asks Sir Stephan what it's like to serve under Char. Apparently, it's not bad at all; the prince is a quick learner and kind-hearted. A bit on the serious side, but Sir Stephan has noticed that Ella sure seems to cheer him up.
- See (says Sir Stephan), Ella acts natural, not like a courtier at all. Take that, Manners Mistress!
- At night, Ella reads her fairy tale book and sees letters from Hattie and Olive to their mother, Dame Olga.
- With unnecessary flourishes and misspellings, Hattie's letter complains (of course) that Ella was devious and deceitful despite how nice Hattie was to her. Ha. Right.
- Olive's letter is poorly written to the point of almost being incomprehensible. She wishes Ella had taken her with her, or that people would at least follow her orders.
- The next thing Ella reads is a story about the genie in Aladdin's lamp. What's weird is that the story focuses on how sad the genie is that he's forced to leave his lover and serve everyone who holds the lamp.
- Gee, sounds a lot like Ella's situation. So much like it, in fact, that she starts crying.
- By the third morning, things in the landscape are getting distinctly bigger: pumpkins as tall as Ella, or as big as carriages. (Guess we know where Cinderella's godmother got her pumpkin-carriage.
- Whoa! You guys, we just got it: "Cinder Ella." Ella.
- Anyway, moving on. They meet a giant who offers to take them to Uaaxee's farm for the wedding. See, giants are so kind and generous that they just love to meet strangers.
- When they see the house about an hour before reaching it (that's how big it is!) Ella starts to get nervous. Her chance at freedom is approaching.

Christmas dinner must be really awkward in the Blair household.
There's Tony Blair, who was the British prime minister at the time of the invasion of Iraq and now is a Mideast envoy working for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. There's also Blair's sister-in-law. Though I suspect she doesn't celebrate Christmas, Laura Booth is a convert to Islam who wants Blair tried for war crimes for the invasion of Iraq. If that isn't enough, Booth is also urging Muslims from countries surrounding Israel to invade and "liberate" Jerusalem.
Here is the story from Arutz Sheva:
Booth went on another rant against Israel. "We say here today to you, Israel, we see your crimes and we loathe your crimes. And to us your nation does not exist, because it is a criminal injustice against humanity. We want to see Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt go to the borders and stop this now. Liberate Al Quds! March to Al Quds!"

They are not insurance, and many health care providers don't honor them.
The recent options in medical insurance aren't as complicated as the medical care and science they pay for, but it can seem that way as you try to decipher and unravel the intricacies of HSAs, HRAs and FSAs.
A new entry in the health pay arena is
the "discount medical card" that some people
mistakenly think is a form of health insurance. These
cards are not, even though some companies create that
impression when they market and sell them. They are
just what the name implies: discount cards, such as
the ones you use to get discounts at restaurants and
If you've ever used a discount card that gives you 10 percent or 20 percent off a car rental, hotel room or meal, you understand the basic principle behind a discount medical card. If you've ever presented a card to a hotel, restaurant or car rental agency and been told that they do not accept that card, or that "your discount" will be less, or that it does not apply in "your particular case," you also understand the basic problem with discount medical cards.
According to the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, many of the cards are "deceptive or fraudulent," and in order "to lure unwary customers," some card companies use advertising that "can make it seem like they're selling real insurance." Since they are not insurance companies, state agencies that oversee insurance companies have neither the power nor the authority to regulate them.
If you do not have any health insurance at all, a discount medical card can help. But before you buy one, make sure you know what you are getting and what it will cost you. You also need to ask for a list of providers in your area that accept the card. Then call the providers you are most likely to use and ask if they accept those cards and what sort of discount you can expect.
Just remember that you will be paying for medical service yourself. All you are getting -- you hope -- is a slightly lower bill.

The WWE was holding out hope that Daniel Bryan could make a quick recovery in time for their "Money in the Bank" pay-per-view. In order to leave the possibility open, Stephanie McMahon announced last week that Bryan would have to defend his title against Kane in a stretcher match or forfeit the title. PWS reported on Monday that the WWE has just learned that Bryan will not be medically cleared to return in time for "Money in the Bank."
Since McMahon made the proclamation on "WWE Monday Night Raw" last week that Daniel Bryan would be stripped of the title if he could not return, that looks like what will happen. The WWE opened things up by saying that the winner of the Money in the Bank ladder match would be the new champion if Bryan did not return. There is also rumors that a second match will take place with the briefcase for a future title shot.
Up until this year, there were always two Money in the Bank ladder matches, one for the world title and one for the WWE title. Since those titles were combined at the end of last year, there was only going to be one this year. If they want to keep the briefcase storyline in place, the WWE will have to have two matches or just eliminate the briefcase storyline in 2014.
The main idea right now is for Cesaro to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but he was rumored to win the Money in the Bank match and cash it in possibly against Brock Lesnar after "Summerslam." It might be too early for Cesaro to be the champion, so there is a chance that Randy Orton could take the title back. Outside of Orton, old standbys like John Cena, Alberto Del Rio and even Kane are possibilities.
As for Daniel Bryan, his WWE status will remain in doubt. His arm has grown weaker instead of stronger as he recovers from his neck surgery. If things don't improve soon, the WWE may need to consider what to do with Bryan and his WWE future with the company.

35 and Mortal: A Breast Cancer Diary
By Peggy Orenstein
Published: June 29, 1997
Dec. 19, 1996 -- I got my first mammogram today at a place called the Breast Health Center in San Francisco. I've never really considered whether I had healthy breasts. Healthy knees, yes. Healthy gums, maybe. But healthy breasts? I don't even do self-exams, except when I read something about cancer in the paper.
Thirty-five seems a little young to be going through this particular rite of passage, but my doctor said I should have a base line and the health insurance pays for it, so I figured, why not? The procedure went pretty fast and it didn't hurt; it was just sort of awkward. Mostly, I hoped that an earthquake wouldn't strike while my breast was clamped in a vise.
Jan. 9, 1997
I almost skipped my second mammogram. When I got the letter saying they had to do a follow-up, I assumed they'd just botched the film. But when the technician took three rounds of pictures, I began to get nervous. I felt myself slip into shock when the radiologist showed me what they were filming: a bicycle-spoke-like pattern emanating from a central point in my left breast. No lump, just these lines in the tissue. I could barely see them. He said he is nearly 100 percent sure that it is nothing, but I should have it biopsied, ''just to be 120 percent sure.''
I called my gynecologist for a list of surgeons and chose the only woman among them, Nima Grissom. She did a biopsy on a friend of mine who liked her a lot. Unnecessary biopsies. You hear about them all the time.
Jan. 14
Nima, turned out to be a blond, brown-eyed gal in her mid-40's with a wry streak. She examined my breast and didn't feel a thing. Because there's no palpable lump, she has to do a surgical biopsy in the hospital. The radiologist will inject blue dye into the tissue so she can see what to cut out. I'll be home by noon. ''Really, though,'' she said. ''The chances are 98 percent that this is nothing.'' Steven came with me to the appointment. He's the calmer one in our marriage. When I get scared, he repeats ''98 percent.''
The biopsy is in two days.
Jan. 17, middle of the night
At 4:45 this afternoon I found out I have breast cancer. Breast cancer! That first moment on the phone when Nima told me, all the colors in the room seemed to go flat and I yelled to Steven to get on the extension. He stood in the dining room doorway and we stared at each other, just stared, as Nima talked.
She used comforting words. She told me it is a slow-growing, tiny cancer --only eight millimeters. She said lumpectomy, not mastectomy. Radiation, not chemotherapy. She used words I'm sure I will soon become very familiar with, words I'd rather not know. Well-differentiated. Low-grade. Lower lymph node dissection. She told me I am a very lucky woman, although I don't feel like I am, and that this is what early detection is for.
''Goddamn it, I was thinking, there is no history of this in my family. I do aerobics three times a week. I eat organic broccoli.''
I called Mom immediately and tried to tell her, but my hands were shaking so badly that I couldn't keep the phone next to my ear.
I woke up an hour ago in a sweat imagining my death and realizing I've made a terrible mistake: I didn't have children. But I didn't even want them until last month. Our lives had felt full enough with work and our love for each other. I couldn't imagine how we'd have time or energy for a child. My 35th birthday in November and Steven's dad's death a week later changed our minds.
Now, at best, Nima says we should wait two years before trying to conceive, when the risk of recurrence begins to decline. By then I'll be 37. And it's possible we can't have children at all. I am so sad. I want to have a baby. I want my life with Steven. I love him so much, I can't bear that he has to go through this, too. I want him to be happy. I want us to be happy together. I want my life. I don't want to do it over or do it differently, I just want to have the next part. I will appreciate it more. I will try to be happier. I will try to love better, live fuller. I promise.
Jan. 18
Today was a bad day. Steven suggested we go into San Francisco to a museum, but I couldn't focus. Over lunch I kept tearing up, and he finally joked, ''Oh great, people will think I'm breaking up with you.'' I managed a watery smile.
Seeing kids scampering around in the museum hurt so much it made me dizzy. It's hard on Steven too. He said he believes I'll be O.K., but when Nima said I had to wait to have children, all the ambivalence that he'd felt on the subject evaporated. It's like couples who discover they're infertile: you're finally ready and biology says no. You can't believe it, not in this age when we control so much of our own destinies.
But who knows what the truth is. This cancer may have been in my body for years. For some women in their 30's, breast cancer is more likely to be diagnosed when they're pregnant, when the surge in estrogen can accelerate a previously undetected cancer. Pregnancy might've made this cancer more aggressive, more deadly.
Later, when we got into bed, Steven began to kiss me. I told him I was afraid he wouldn't want to touch me any more, that he'd see me as diseased. He kissed me more passionately and said he would never feel that way.

National Boss Day
I couldn't help but laugh when I noticed that National Boss Day (Sunday, October 16th) was listed on my Dunkin Donuts calendar as "National Boss Day Observed," on Monday, October 17th. I know that a calendar that commemorates Cream Filled Donut Day and Croissant Day (I'm lookin' at you January 30th) should not be taken seriously. But I need to ask – is there anybody out there who actually celebrates National Boss Day?
I mean, I like my bosses. I'm lucky that they've always treated me well. But I'm not going to buy them a Macy's gift card and a bouquet of tulips. Why? 1) Because they're men, and 2) they make four times as much money as I do. Besides, isn't doing my job well a gift in itself? Every time I type a letter without typos, or print a document without punching the bejesus out of the printer, it's as if I am telling my bosses "I respect you."
When you cater to somebody's every whim and scramble around trying to make sure everything they ask for is done quickly – that makes every day Boss Day. Much like every day is Two Year Old Kid Day. If you haven't figured that much out yet, you probably find yourself getting fired a lot.
I read an article suggesting taking your boss out to lunch or for coffee to celebrate. Obviously they don't realize that Edward Cullen, C3PO, and my bosses don't actually consume food. Sure they walk around crinkling energy bar wrappers and loudly asking each other if they want anything from Wendy's, but that's all for show. All the coffee they appear to drink really just drains into bottles that they store inside their hollowed out android legs. Clearly, taking them out for lunch or coffee would be a colossal waste of time.
So, Dunkin Donuts calendar, why don't we just leave National Boss Day where it belongs – on Sunday. That way we can celebrate it from our respective homes without having to see each other until Monday. In the meantime, I will leave you with an example of a boss who actually does deserve recognition on National Boss Day…and one who should probably just die:
Boss who deserves to be honored:
When the Malden Mills factory in Methuen, MA burned down in 1995, Aaron Feuerstein used the insurance money to continue paying 3,000 employees their salaries (plus full benefits) while the factory was rebuilt. In 1998 he was awarded the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Award.
Boss who does not:
When Ashley Alford was sitting on the stockroom floor of Aaron's furniture store in 2005, her boss Richard Moore came up behind her and put his penis on her head.

Political Strategy Notes
The squeeze is on, as President Obama meets with Democratic leaders today to hash out strategy on the budget sequestration, gun violence, immigration and other items of the national legislative agenda. The NYT's Jonathan Weisman and Elisabeth Bumiller report on the Democrats' top priority -- finding the best strategy to secure a temporary fix to prevent $1 trillion in scheduled budget cuts.
At TPM, Brian Beutler's "Armed Service Republicans Reveal Unsustainable GOP Position On Sequestration" probes the GOP strategy for negotiating a deal on cuts and spending and the dilemma they face with respect to defense cuts and raising revenues.
Obama's wunderkind speechwriter Jon Favreau is leaving to write movies. Cody Keenan will take the lead on SOTU, reports Christi Parsons, of the L.A. Times D.C. Bureau.
Nicole Flatow's "Blacks, Hispanics Waited Almost Twice As Long To Vote As Whites In 2012" at Think Progress reports that an M.I.T. analysis indicates " that white voters waited an average of 12.7 minutes, while Black and Hispanic voters waited an average of 20.2 minutes... the longest lines were in Florida, where another recent study estimated that at least 201,000 people may have been deterred from voting by lines that were hours long. This was in no small part due to Gov. Rick Scott's (R) elimination of 6 early voting days in the state and other voter suppression initiatives that several top Republicans later admitted were intended to keep Democrats from the polls."
Meanwhile, Aliyah Frumin reports at msnbc.com: "Determined to avoid a repeat of the GOP's 2012 voter-suppression efforts, New York Sen. Kristen Gillibrand and Assistant Democratic House leader James Clyburn are pushing for the "Voter Empowerment Act," which requires electronic voting machines to produce paper receipts, allows for voter registration on election days, creates a new national voter hotline, and criminalizes voter intimidation practices."
Despite Gov. Christie's popularity, Dems are expected to hold the state legislature, reports Terrence Dopp at Bloomberg.
In NC, the state Obama lost by the closest margin, however, the Raleigh News Observer's Jim Jenkins paints a disturbing portrait of state Democratic Party disarray.
It's war in Missouri, where Republican supermajorities in the state legislature are trying to ram through tougher voter i.d. laws, but meeting "fierce resistance" from state progressives, reports Jason Hancock of the Kansas City Star.
Chris Cillizza crowns Sen. Marco Rubio the GOP's new prince in a softball profile. Time Magazine concurs.

Make a little room in your closet for another T-shirt you'll be bringing home from Mexico one of these days. It'll say something like "I (heart) Puerto Morelos."
Puerto Morelos? Where's that? It's a little town on the Mexican Caribbean at the southern edge of the Cancun resort area, and it's often called "the poster child for a sleepy fishing village." You can walk from one side of the town to the other in 15 or so minutes without spotting a McDonald's or a Pizza Hut. What you will find are some of the friendliest people in the country going about their business, mostly in shops around the village square.
Vacationer Scott Dial from Seattle, Wash., recalls looking for someone to take his picture at a mini pyramid on the square's playground. "Within minutes they were lined up, kids and grown-ups alike, waiting to get their pictures taken with me while others clicked the camera."
But it's a whole different story outside the village. Look around, and you'll find luxurious hotel-resorts peppering the powdery beaches a respectful distance away from both sides of the village and poking out of the inland mangroves. All told, the tropical palaces around Puerto Morelos offer 12,000 rooms – about the lodging inventory of the booming Mazatlan resort area on the other side of the country.
And there's more palaces coming. To debut by the end of the year will be the posh Playa Senator and the Royalton Riviera Cancun, which together will hike the local inventory to a whopping 15,000 rooms – roughly the lodging count of the Pacific mega-resort at Los Cabos.
Jesus Almaguer, CEO of the Cancun Convention and Visitors Bureau, described Puerto Morelos as "the perfect complement to the tourism product that Cancun offers as it attracts affluent travelers from all over the world that are looking for a relaxed, slow-paced atmosphere, and still enjoy the convenient connectivity, amenities and services that Cancun is known for."
About a 20-minute ride down the coast from Cancun's main hotel strip, Puerto Morelos is the dividing line between that resort area and the 70-mile-long Rivera Maya.

How do I align a
<div> which contains an image (or flash) vertically with CSS. Height and width are dynamic.
How do I align a
This is a pure CSS2 solution for horizontally and vertically centering without known sizes of either container nor child. No hacks are involved. I discovered it for this answer and I also demonstrated it in this answer.
The solution is based on
The HTML:
And the CSS:
Tested on Win7 in IE8, IE9, Opera 11.51, Safari 5.0.5, FF 6.0, Chrome 13.0.
The only caveat is IE7, for which the two innermost elements have to declared at one line, as demonstrated in this fiddle:
Note that the span's are also required for IE7. In every other browser, the span's may be div's.
You can do this by using inline-blocks, one with
Example 1: http://jsfiddle.net/kizu/TQX9b/ (a lot of content, so it's full width)
Example 2: http://jsfiddle.net/kizu/TQX9b/2/ (an image with any size)
In this example I use
In addition to the other answers here, the CSS3 flexible box model will, amongst other things, allow you to achieve this.
You only need a single container element. Everything inside it will be laid out according to the flexible box model rules.
The CSS is pretty simple, actually:
I've omitted vendor-prefixed rules for brevity.
Here's a demo in which the img is always in the centre of the page: http://jsfiddle.net/zn8bm/
Note that Flexbox is a fledgling specification, and is only currently implemented in Safari, Chrome and Firefox 4+.
I would recommend this solution by Bruno: http://www.brunildo.org/test/img_center.html
However, I ran into a problem w/ his solution w/r/t webkit. It appears that webkit was rendering a small space at the top of the
And if I detect the browser to be IE I add an empty span element before the
Here's a JSFiddle with this code.
Dušan Janovský, Czech web developer, has published a cross-browser solution for this some time ago. Read http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-vertical-center-solution.html
If you don't care about IE7 and below, you don't have to use multiple nested divs. If you have a div that you want to align vertically, that div is within some container (even if the container is your
However, if you do care about IE7 and below, you will need an additional container to make it work (yes, via a hack).
Take a look at this fiddle. It displays correctly in IE6-9 and other major browsers.
Set the image as background of the div and align it center
try the 50% padding trick:
This is possible if you know the height of the image or flash object to be centered. You don't need to know the container's height/width, but you do need to know the contained height/width.
It's possible using float, clear and negative margins. Example: www.laurenackley.com homepage.
If you don't know the inner elements width/height. You are out of luck with

McKindsay Dow, Wayne Dow's daughter, spent around 50 hours this summer as a volunteer with three other students from Gonzaga Prep Higth School. They worked with people studying English as a second language.
"There were three levels of English classes," McKindsay said. "The level two class was reserved for those students who had just arrived in the United States, or those who spoke very little English. This class was sometimes very difficult to work with."
McKindsay mentions that it is interesting to talk with the students who had...

So, It's Come To This: A Death Star Butt Painting
This is the Death Star painted on a lady's butt. I'm not sure if she did it herself in the mirror or if somebody helped. I'm also not sure why it's painted on both cheeks. Maybe one is supposed to be a front view and the other a back view. I don't know, I don't what the hell these people were thinking. Besides, who even thinks, "Let's paint a Death Star on my ass" in the first place? Mensa members, that's who. Actual geniuses.
Thanks to my pal Terry, who invited me to a body painting party once but I graciously declined. SIKE -- I WAS THERE WITH BELLS ON. And only bells.

Inside the political pit, there is a push right now to legalize marijuana in several states, with advocates eyeing the potential outcome of the November election and some even looking towards 2016. Florida is set to vote on a measure in the upcoming election that would make it the first Southern state to legalize the leaf, while Alaska will decide if the state will join the ranks of the recreational marijuana trade alongside of Colorado and Washington.
Last week, lawmakers gathered to discuss issues surrounding amendments to current marijuana laws, as well as medical marijuana and CBD bills. Here is a closer look at what your pot-friendly legislators were up to last week:
Florida: Limited Medical Marijuana Bill Approved
State lawmakers passed a measure earlier last week that would allow CBD oil to be distributed to children suffering from debilitating seizures. The House approved Senate Bill 1030 by a vote of 111-7, with final approval being made in a vote of 30-9. Republican Governor Rick Scott is expected to sign the bill into law, which will, in turn, allow the "Charlotte's Web" strain to be distributed throughout Florida with the assistance of five state dispensaries.
Colorado: Changes to Marijuana Laws
Colorado lawmakers voted to approve some changes to the state marijuana laws last week: one to amend the possession limits for concentrates, and another that would allocate $10 million in medical marijuana fees for research purposes. The House cast a favorable vote of 60-5 allowing the Health Department to use excess fees for cannabis research. A bill limiting the possession of concentrated marijuana, like hash, was also sent to the governor for his approval.
Nevada: Gaming or Marijuana?
The Nevada Gaming Control Board is forcing gaming licensees to choose to either work in the casino industry or the marijuana industry. The board announced that it would not allow those who have applied for gaming approval to also apply for a license to run a medical marijuana operation.
Minnesota: Medical Marijuana Advances to the Senate
Last Monday, the Minnesota Finance Committee approved legislation that would allow patients to access medical marijuana. The measure is now slated for review by the Senate floor. Before passing the bill in a vote of 14-7, lawmakers discussed establishing a system that would track physicians as well as qualified condition.
Then on Tuesday, the state Senate advanced the bill that would allow medical marijuana to be prescribed by physicians. In a vote of 48-18, the measure could result in Minnesota becoming the next state to legalize medical marijuana. Under the proposal, patients would be allowed to possess up to 2.5 ounce of marijuana, but the medicine would only be allowed to be used orally or through a vaporizer. Smoking marijuana would be prohibited.
Missouri: Bill to Keep Marijuana Users Out of Jail
The state legislature recently passed a bill aimed at eliminating the possibility of jail for those caught in possession of up to 10 grams of weed. The measure has since been sent to Governor Jay Nixon for his approval… he has until May 13 to decide.
Several other marijuana-related bills are being considered. Senate Bill 951, which is a medical marijuana bill, is expected to receive a vote from the Senate in the near future. House Bill 2238, a measure that would allow patients suffering from seizures access to CBD oil is set to go before Governor Nixon for his signature.
Illinois: CBD Bill Approved
A House committee approved a measure last Wednesday that would give families access to cannabis oil for children suffering from seizures. The measure would add epilepsy to the state medical marijuana program's list of qualified conditions.
Washington, DC: Congressional Hearing
Last Friday, a Congressional hearing was held to examine the marijuana decriminalization bill signed into law by Mayor Vincent Gray in March. Congress must give the law its seal of approval before it can go into effect. And while lawmakers did not suspect there would be any issues, there has been speculation that the law could be met with some resistance. So far, there does not appear to be any immediate plans to overturn the law.

Male Assassin Roughs by ConceptualMachinaWatch
©2011-2016 ConceptualMachina
Some rough character concepts.
I like the middle one most, it makes the most sense to me, and looks the most badass.
I really like your style of drawing.
WOw! The one in the right is so thin!
Neato! I like the contours, very biomechanical. I'm kind of partial to the second from the right, his torso reminds me of an instrument. Which, after all, is what an assassin is, in essence.
Hey man awesome work as always it's so cool and pro
I like the first one and the third best. I think the last one is really interesting though
Mmm, i agree as well, tho the 4th one has a certain aesthetic to it that's interesting, but the other two were closer to the design that i was aiming for. the last was a crack at simple design shapes and possibilities that i might use for something else. i dunno why, but red and white really go well together. glad u like em
Yeah, I definitely think the 4th could be used for something else, but I really think if you combine aspects from the other two it could definitely make for something cool I've been looking through your gallery and I really think your style and everything is really fascinating, I'm looking forward to seeing more from you.
I like the fourth one from the left the most. Good stuff.
WoW that is sooo EPIC i love the read one
Thnx dude that last one was very rough, but i wanted to explore that possibility a bit anyway.
love them all! but my favourite would have to be the second one... or maybe the third
Thnx Rosie for me, i'm prolly gonna go with a combination of the 1st and 3rd when i finalize the design. planning on doing a few more sci-fi roughs first tho.
Deus Ex characters! ahhaha
Wow, I'm really diggin' the costumes.
looks like raiden
Yup, the MGS series is a definite inspiration (along with Deus Ex: HR and Ghost in the Shell). i loved Raiden's new designs. they're a juxtaposition in itself; his earlier incarnation was very effeminate, and those design elements still carried over to his MGS4 and Rising counterparts, but with an emphasis on masculinity and cold emotion - a paradox that just works brilliantly.

The character roster of Super Smash Bros. 4 for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS has grown by three as the company has announced two brand new characters along with a returning fighter. According to a report by Polygon from July 14, Masahiro Sakurai, director of Super Smash Bros., announced and detailed Lucina and Robin from Fire Emblem: Awakening as two new characters joining the fight. Likewise, Captain Falcon from F-Zero makes a triumphant return and is ready to do battle in Super Smash Bros. 4.
You can find the video reveal of the new characters here.
The Fire Emblem franchise has a major presence in Super Smash Bros. 4 with the addition of Lucina and Robin. Both of these characters were introduced in Fire Emblem: Awakening, which was released for Nintendo 3DS. If you don't recognize Robin's name from Awakening it is for a good reason: this was the default name of the character players customized at the start of the title. Robin can be played as a male or a female character in Super Smash Bros. 4.
Joining this new pair is fan favorite Captain Falcon of F-Zero fame. In addition to announcing these new characters, Masahiro Sakurai also went into great detail on how these characters was play and how they will differ from the other fighters. Robin will be able to gain an advantage in battle by making use of tomes to keep opponents at a distance, meanwhile Robin can also use the Levin sword for melee combat. However, tomes have a limited number of uses – just like Fire Emblem – so finding a balance between the two fighting styles will be vital. Find Sakurai's explanation below:
Robin, the avatar in Fire Emblem Awakening, joins the battle!! As a master of tomes and the Levin sword, Robin's not like any other swordfighter.
While Robin is totally unique, Lucina's moveset is similar to that of Marth. Sakurai notes that Lucina's physical abilities are the exact same as to those of Marth, but their swords and attack strength differ. While Marth's power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina's attack power is balanced throughout the weapon. Find Sakurai's full explanation below:
Along with Robin, Lucina joins the battle!! Her physical abilities are identical to Marth's--it must be in her D.N.A. However, where Marth's power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina's attack strength is balanced throughout the weapon, which might make her easier to control. She's also a little bit shorter than Marth.
With the inclusion of these three characters, the roster size of Super Smash Bros. 4 is now up to 36 characters. With more characters still to be announced, it seems highly likely that the complete roster will be in excess of 40 characters.
Super Smash Bros. 4 will be released for 3DS and Wii U later this year. Stay tuned for our hands-on impressions in the coming days.

According to the Canadian Press on Wednesday, Canadian Olympic goaltender Roberto Luongo will not be bringing his family with him to the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi because of his personal concern with the security issues in the Russian region.
Russian officials are currently investigating four Russian women who could be causing some problems in the area according to Examiner's Domestic Crimes writer Richard Webster. It is believed that one woman might actually be in Sochi at the present time.
The unfortunate reality is Russia has a long history of terrorist attacks, and the players are currently not taking the situation lightly. It has also been reported that Daniel Sedin, who is Luongo's teammate in Vancouver will not bring his family either. The fact that Daniel Sedin is not bringing his family is an interesting case because he is European and will be competing for Sweden.
However not everyone is taking the approach of Luongo and Sedin. On Thursday, Canadian women's hockey star Hayley Wickenheiser told the Canadian media in a teleconference call that she will have 11 family members in Sochi cheering her on and told her family to expect delays in certain circumstances. She also believes the region will be very safe.

Lawrence Transfers To The University of Massachusetts
July 14, 2014
AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts women's basketball program and head coach Sharon Dawley announced Alyssa Lawrence, a transfer from San Diego State University and native of New Rochelle, N.Y., joined the Minutewomen squad on Monday evening.
"We are thrilled to have Alyssa join our UMass family," Dawley said. "Alyssa is a great player who will bring a wide variety of talents to our team. She has a lot of ability, size and maturity that will help us tremendously."
Lawrence appeared in 20 games as a freshman at SDSU in 2013-14. With the Aztecs, she hit 41.2 percent of her field goal attempts (7-for-17) and added 21 rebounds for an average of 1.1 pulled down per game.
"I am extremely excited to become a part of the Minutewomen basketball team and have felt tremendously welcomed by the staff as well as my teammates," Lawrence said. "I look forward to contributing to the team in my coming years as a part of the program."
Prior to attending San Diego State, Lawrence was a four-year standout at The Ursuline School and also competed for AAU programs Ring City and the New Jersey Sparks. A native of New Rochelle, N.Y., Lawrence was an all-league and all-section honoree who received a three-star grade from ESPN HoopGurlz.

Earning a degree is the first step to becoming a dietitian, and students can study one of several majors to qualify for this career field. In addition to a major in dietetics, degrees in food and nutrition sciences and food service systems management are also relevant. To become a registered dietitian, students must also complete an internship or other qualifying supervised work experience and pass an exam administered by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. While registration is not required by law, it is often preferred by employers.
Study relevant subjects in high school, and do your best to earn top grades. Courses in biology, chemistry, physiology and culinary arts will help prepare you for college-level study in these subjects, as well as indicate to college admissions offices that you have an interest in this career. If you have the opportunity, classes in economics, sociology and developing computer skills such as using spreadsheets are also a good idea.
Learn about college-level programs in dietetics that are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. Accreditation means that these programs include relevant courses and that their academic standards ensure graduates are prepared to work in the field of nutrition and dietetics. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics divides these programs into two groups. One group includes those programs that include internships, while the second group offers classroom work only. Narrow the list to schools that meet your requirements for location, tuition and possible financial assistance.
Apply to the colleges and universities on your list well ahead of application deadlines. In some cases, you may need to submit a second application to the specific program after you are admitted to the school. Ensure that you complete all the application requirements, such as getting recommendations and taking standardized college admissions tests.
Complete all coursework, including class assignments, projects and exams, after you begin the program. Turn in every assignment on time, take notes in class, and review thoroughly before mid-term and final exams. Ask questions when you don't understand a concept or procedure. Earning good grades now opens doors later to better internship programs, job opportunities and graduate schools.
Meet all the requirements for your internship, if one is part of your degree program. Be at work on time and dress appropriately. Remember that an internship is your chance to practice what you have learned in class under close supervision. Interns are expected to ask questions when necessary, so take advantage of this opportunity.
Fulfill all the graduation requirements, including any course requirements outside your major. Turn in any paperwork your college or university demands.
