This video is the first in a series of videos to get to know Nathan Ybanez and Erik Jensen. They were sentenced as juveniles 16 and 17, to life in prison without parole. Nathan killed his mother after years of sexual, mental, emotional and physical abuse. Erik helped clean up the crime scene. The Supreme Court recently determined that it is not right to sentence juveniles to life in prison without parole based on overwhelming evidence that the juvenile mind does not fully develop until about 25 years of age. significant and overwhelming studies show that once a juvenile has been convicted of a serious crime including murder, and has served juvenile time, they almost never commit another serious crime.

Teva's Generic Advantage
The Israeli pharma company is a leader in generic drugs. And a smart acquisition may extend its lead
From Standard & Poor's Equity Research
We at Standard & Poor's believe Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA; recent price, $35) should remain one of the leaders of the generic drug sector, a position reinforced, in our view, by its Feb. 28 acquisition of IVAX Corp. Teva's R&D, now combined with that of IVAX, has provided the company with what we believe to be the broadest product line and most extensive generic pipeline in the U.S. and a leading generic pipeline elsewhere. Its manufacturing facilities in several countries, which increased via the IVAX acquisition, provide Teva with a broad array of production technologies and economies of scale.
Finally, we believe that its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) business, which continues to expand, offers stability of supply and vertical integration efficiencies. This permits Teva to be one of the lowest-cost producers, a position we view as another competitive strength.
We're encouraged by the long-term prospects for the overall generic drug industry in the U.S., owing to an aging population, health care cost-containment efforts, the Medicare drug benefit that started in January, 2006, and an increasing number and variety of drugs, including several blockbusters, available in generic form. Teva's second-quarter 2006 revenues and earnings were encouraging to us, and we think prospects are bright for the long term.
Rx LEADER.
Teva was recently trading near the low end of historical p-e averages. We think this is partly because of what we see as EPS growth deceleration in 2007, mainly due to planned launch in that year of generic drugs with lower brand value than those slated for 2006. However, we see this priced into the stock. Based on our view of bright long-term prospects and earnings reacceleration in 2008, we think the stock is undervalued. We have a 5 STARS (strong buy) recommendation on the shares.
Israel-based Teva launched 30 new products in the U.S. in 2005 and, by year-end, was selling 250 generics representing approximately 680 dosage strengths and packaging sizes. In addition to the products marketed by Teva's existing operations, IVAX manufactured and marketed approximately 76 generic drugs in 181 dosage strengths.
In the 12 months ended June 30, 2006, the number of prescriptions in the U.S. filled by Teva products was 393 million, or 11% of the total U.S. pharmaceutical market, according to IMS Health data, making it by far the largest pharmaceutical company in terms of scripts. (Pfizer (PFE) is the largest in revenue.)
As of August 2, 2006, Teva had 148 abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) filed with the FDA, representing over $84 billion annually in brand value. Teva believes 46 ANDAs, with a brand value of over $35 billion, have first-to-file status, which permits an initial 180 days of marketing exclusivity.
In Europe, as of February 28, 2006, excluding products acquired through the IVAX acquisition, Teva had 125 compounds representing 260 formulations, while 810 marketing authorization applications were pending approval, with over 280 additional compounds approved for development. We believe Teva's portfolio approach mitigates the company's risk profile compared to other drugmakers, including its peer group.
In our view, Teva's presence in the branded drug market, although limited, helps expand and further diversify its overall drug catalog, while also aiding gross margins. Copaxone for multiple sclerosis (MS), Teva's first proprietary drug, became the market leader in the U.S. in 2005's first quarter and remained so into the second quarter of 2006, according to IMS Health data. We think Biogen-Idec's (BIIB) Tysabri, once considered Copaxone's largest threat, will mainly be for those patients who benefit relatively little from MS drugs currently on the market. (An earlier version of this incorrectly characterized Tysabri's availability status.)
While Copaxone in-market sales grew by 26% in 2005, 29% in the first quarter of 2006, and 22% in the second quarter, we expect growth to decelerate going forward, due to growth off of an expanding base (in terms of both dollars and MS patients).
Once-daily Azilect, Teva's proprietary drug for Parkinson's disease, was launched in Israel in March, 2005, in Europe in the second quarter of 2005, and in the U.S. in June, 2006. Our earnings model assumes modest contributions from Azilect in 2006 and 2007, with more meaningful growth afterward.
The global respiratory market exceeds $30 billion, and IVAX's products compete in the $16 billion-plus market for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Most of IVAX's products are sold in the EU, and we believe Teva has the marketing and distribution capability to increase its penetration in other parts of the world, including the U.S.
Meanwhile, Teva has clinical trials under way for an oral MS treatment and drugs in pre-clinical trials that treat Lupus, ALS, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. (The company plans to discuss its innovative R&D with investors and analysts on September 26, 2006.) While we see the sales of branded pharmaceuticals, bolstered by intensified sales efforts behind respiratory products, growing faster than generic pharmaceuticals, we expect the branded business to remain a small proportion of Teva's overall business.
In our view, Teva's position as one of the largest suppliers of active pharmaceutical ingredients provides it with the competitive advantage of being vertically integrated. The company is less dependent on outside sources than most, if not all, of its generic drugmaker peers, which helps keeps cost of production low. As of December 31, 2005, Teva had in excess of 220 products in its API portfolio. The acquisition of IVAX added another 30 products. Looking ahead, we expect Teva to launch 20 to 30 new APIs per year.
Most API sales are internal, and we see no change going forward. We view external sales as enabling Teva to realize better production economies of scale, thereby lowering its internal API costs, while API prices charged to third parties also positively impact the gross margin. What's more, we think Teva's ability to sell externally provides it with opportunities to enter into joint ventures and/or possibly share first-to-market, 180-day marketing exclusivity periods garnered by other generic drugmakers.
We see 2006 revenues increasing 60%, to over $8.5 billion, mainly reflecting the acquisition of IVAX and sale of generic equivalents of several blockbuster drugs slated to lose patent in 2006. Generic version blockbusters that Teva launched with 180 days of marketing exclusivity as of August 6, 2006, include generic Pravachol anti-cholesterol ($1.4 billion in annual brand sales), generic Zocor anti-cholesterol ($4.4 billion), and generic Zoloft anti-depressant ($3.1 billion).
Teva has projected that approximately 25 generic products will be launched in 2006, representing up to $17 billion in branded value in the U.S. It looks for 70 to 80 products to be launched in 2007 to 2008, representing up to $35 billion in branded value in the U.S. On the branded pharmaceutical front, we see the company benefiting from strongly growing Copaxone sales, the recent U.S. launch of Azilect, and Teva's ability to bolster sales of IVAX's respiratory products.
Teva believes the IVAX integration will result in $100 million in cost-savings synergies by the end of 2006, and $200 million by the end of 2007, and should be derived partly from plant closings, product rationalization, and supply-chain efficiencies. Our 2006 operating earnings estimate is $2.25 per American Depositary Receipt.
For 2007, we see earnings per ADR of $2.30, on flat-to-down U.S. generic sales, the launch of generic drugs with a lower aggregate brand value than those rolled out in 2006, and intense price competition on drugs launched in 2006 that had 180 days of exclusivity. We see increased sales of IVAX's respiratory products as a partial offset. We also see strong growth in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
We anticipate earnings growth accelerating again in 2008 on the planned launch of generics with higher brand value than those expected to debut in 2007, IVAX integration synergies realized during 2007, expectations for strongly rising sales of respiratory products, and, possibly, additional launches and continued penetration of biopharmaceuticals in Western Europe.
Our earnings model does not assume future acquisitions, which we think will be required for Teva to attain its goal of $17 billion in revenue in 2011. But with debt to total capital at 36% as of June 30, 2006, we believe Teva has the financial wherewithal to make more acquisitions.
The stock recently traded at 15.7 times our 2006 EPS estimate of $2.25 per ADR. Our projected five-year EPS growth rate for Teva of 17%, starting in 2006, is above the 15% estimated peer average, and we think Teva's size and diversity permit more stable and better-assured earnings growth than peers. For these reasons, we believe Teva's p-e-to-growth ratio deserves to be higher than the peer average of 1.1 times, calculated after excluding outliers. By setting its 2006 PEG ratio to an above-peer-average 1.15 times, we derive a 2006 p-e of about 19.6 times and, hence, a 12-month target price of $45.
Combining our p-e and p-e-to-growth valuations, as well as our discounted cash-flow-derived intrinsic value of $45 per ADR, we set our 12-month target price of $45. Based on this price, we see potential total return of about 30% from recent levels.
We view positively that the board is comprised of 14 directors; the current CEO is not a board member; a large majority of directors, 10 (71%), are independent according to Nasdaq regulations; the board meets frequently; and that insiders do not sit on the audit and compensation committees. We view negatively that there's no disclosure of a policy that the board reviews its own performance regularly; and there's no governance committee.
Risks to our recommendation and target price include FDA and foreign agency approval risk and the timing of the approvals, competitive and foreign regulatory pricing risk, and currency exchange rate risk. In addition, the company has legal risks, most of which involve patent litigation, with Teva challenging the patents of the brand name owner or the brand name owner challenging Teva's right to make a generic equivalent of the brand name drug in question. Lastly, Teva has significant operations in Israel, which may be adversely affected by terrorism or major hostilities.

When it comes to campaigning, a lot of money is shelled out in the race to win. But one of the amendments that you'll be voting on November 5th could put limits on campaign finance.
Amendment 27 surrounds the issue of campaign finance on the state level. It is designed to reduce the amount of money individuals, political committees and political parties can contribute to candidates and political organizations.
The amendment would require those who make a $100 or more contribution to a campaign to report their occupation and employer.
Those in support of 27 say the measure would eliminate the influence of special interest groups and large corporations on elections, and it would give voters a better idea of who is financing political campaigns.
Those against 27 say campaign finance has failed in the past and big money donors always find loopholes that allow them to finance campaigns anyway. They also say lowering contribution limits forces candidates to spend more time fundraising instead of talking about important issues.
Campaign finance is regulated by federal law for candidates in federal races. Colorado law regulates campaign finance for state and local candidates and that's where amendment 27 comes in.

TOWN OF WALLKILL — A Westtown teen threatened to kill doctors and nurses Sunday morning at Orange Regional Medical Center, state police said.
Isiah Montgomery, 19, was arrested at 8:16 a.m. after he became violent in the emergency room, police said.
Montgomery refused to leave the property and when police arrived, he threatened the lives of nurses and doctors in front of a trooper, police said. Montgomery continued to resist arrest and kept being belligerent on the way to the police barracks and at the barracks, police said.
Montgomery is charged with making terroristic threats, a felony, and several misdemeanors and violations. He's being held in Orange County Jail on $40,000 cash bail or $175,000 property bond.

STRATHAM — Six seventh-grade students at the Cooperative Middle School in Stratham are working together to raise money for breast cancer awareness. Inspired by a classmate who recently lost his mother, the students wanted to get their whole school involved in the cause.
Next week, students will be asked to make donations in their homeroom classes. The homeroom that raises the most money will be rewarded with celebratory pink cupcakes. Billie Joe Spaulding, whose son Aaron is one of the student organizers, will be donating the cupcakes for the winning homeroom.
Students will also be selling handmade bracelets and special passes for a Hat Day on Oct. 30. On Hat Day, students with passes will be able to wear their hats inside for the entire day. Lexi Gagnon and Julia Richardson had the idea to sell the bracelets and say they have over 100 of them to sell. "The normal bracelets are 25 cents," says Richardson, "the fishtail bracelets are 50 cents, and the inverted fishtails are one dollar."
"This entire project was 100 percent their idea," says Sarah Cook, the students' English teacher who has been assisting them with the organization of the fundraiser. "Our community has really been affected by breast cancer, and they wanted to make a positive difference. We're really proud of them." Cook says that Gagnon and fellow student Noah Smiledge approached her separately about starting the fundraiser.
"I wanted to make a difference," says Smiledge, "so I asked my friends if they would help me."
Smiledge, Gagnon, Spaulding, and Richardson have been "staying in" for a week to work on the fundraiser with fellow organizers Stephen Couinard and Tyler Blood. They have spent their lunches and team times working on posters and donation cups for each of the 52 homerooms.
The students say that they have had a lot of support from their teachers and from their principal, Bill Furbush. "It was Mr. Furbush's idea to have the Hat Day," says Smiledge.
Smiledge and Blood hope to raise at least $1,500 for them to donate. "Donations are key to helping people. Hopefully, they can use our money to find a cure."
If you wish to make a donation, checks can be made out to CMS and sent to the Cooperative Middle School — Team 5. 100 Academic Way, Stratham, NH, 03885.

A Different Kind Of Instagram Account
Against images of sunsets and stir-fry on Instagram, there are now pictures of the places where hundreds of people are being killed by drones. Another instance of Instagram being used to tell the stories most of us can't see.
YEM118 / October 21 2012 / 4 killed
The pictures on Dronestagram aren't pretty. They are mundane — mostly dirt and abandoned buildings — but these are the places where hundreds of people are being killed, mostly unnoticed, by unmanned aerial vehicles. Launched yesterday, Dronestagram is the work of James Bridle, an artist and writer from the U.K., whose work hopes to bring attention to the invisible drone war in the Middle East.
"The Dronestagram project is another way to make these things more visible and immediate," Bridle told me. "We don't see them, or where they work, and it makes it easier to ignore — it's why I'm choosing to do this within networks like Instagram and Tumblr, which are more integrated into people's daily lives."
The U.S. has launched 333 drone strikes in Afghanistan alone this year, the highest ever, in an invisible war that by international standards is (for the most part) legal. But hearing about 333 strikes in places you've never heard of, thousands of miles away, is not the same as seeing where it actually happened.
Using public records from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism about strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia (the only places where information is readily available), he confirms the location of the strike, and then searches the area using Google Maps Satellite view. Some of these places are far off the grid, but Bridle tries to locate the general location as best he can. Consulting several other sources, he snaps a picture where the strike hit and uploads them to Instagram with a brief description, often including a death toll.
"There is a certain trend within technology to make things invisible and seamless," he told me. "And drones seem to express that very well — they are an extraordinarily complex technology but completely invisible to us." With Dronestagram, the strikes are visible — but even Instagram's filters can't disguise barren land and deserted towns. These photos are dead.
Ob297 – October 11 2012 / 16-26 reported killed / 5-15 reported injured / Possible civilian casualties (at Buland Khil, Pakistan)
7th November: a strike at night in a village 40km from Sana'a. Alleged al Qaeda leader Adnam al Qathi and his bodyguards Rablee Lahib and Radwan al Hashidi were killed. A child and two others are also reported injured. Drones had been seen over the area for three days.

First Boeing 787 on Seattle-Tokyo route lands at Sea-Tac
By Jake Ellison
SEATAC, Wash. — Fire trucks spraying rainbows of water Monday morning greeted the first All Nippon Airways 787 to land in commercial service at Sea-Tac Airport.
The Dreamliner took its passenger to a terminal gate and prepared for its afternoon departure back to Tokyo.
A number of airline, Boeing and Port of Seattle officials were on hand to celebrate daily service with the 787 on the Seattle-Tokyo route event.
ANA was Boeing's launch customer for the new fuel-efficient widebody twinjet. The airline started the Seattle-Tokyo route in July, using a Boeing 777.

5 Ways to Get Faster Results in the Gym
You wake up, shower, eat a light protein-packed breakfast, and head to the gym. You spend an hour fast-walking on the treadmill, bulk up on the chest press machine, do a few sets of curls, lunge to exhaustion, and head home. You repeat that same routine daily. And you—get this—may not even see the results you want. "People who just go through the motions, doing the same workout over and over again each week, don't make progress," says Craig Ballantyne, CTT, owner of CB Athletic Consulting, Inc. "In order to see results your body needs a new training stimulus."
The 14 Best Things You Can Do for Your Body >>>
Here's the key: work out for less time at a more intense pace. "A new program puts new demands on the body," says Ballantyne. "The body reacts by changing—think muscle growth, increased strength, and improved aerobic capacity." It's easy to transition from fitness beginner to a relatively fit workout enthusiast in 8-12 weeks, but for more tone and definition, you'll need that extra boost. Use the tips below to surpass the plateau and amp up your routine.
Follow the 20 seconds on/10 seconds off method to boost aerobic fitness and muscle endurance. Go all out, doing as many reps as you can in 20 seconds, then take a quick breather for recovery. Repeat for 8 rounds. Make it a total-body workout with bodyweight movements like burpees, jumping jacks, and bodyweight squats. Looking to up your resistance?

All things Mother Earth Living
by Jessica Kellner, Editor
This past weekend, I finally nailed down a flower supplier who is local, chemical-free AND who will have flowers blooming in mid-May—my wedding time. It showed me that you sometimes have to go through quite a bit to find the suppliers you are looking for, but it pays off in the end. To find this person, I started by searching for organic flowers in Lawrence, Kansas. That led me to Lynn Byczynski, the local author of the book The Flower Farmer: An Organic Grower's Guide to Raising and Selling Cut Flowers. Lynn doesn't grow flowers for weddings, but she was able to get me in contact with Jozzy Schimke from Earth Flowers in LeCompton, Kansas...just a hop, skip and a jump from Lawrence. They grow flowers in hoop houses, so they have blooms earlier in the year than the other, exlusively outdoor flowers farms. Earth Flowers lets customers come out and choose their own flowers and arrange bouquets on their own—something I wanted to do with some friends of mine who are good at that sort of thing. Now I will be able to afford the type and kind of flowers I want, and I will know that they have not been treated with chemicals and shipped halfway across the country! Anyone looking for local farms in their area can also rely on Local Harvest, which offers a searchable database of food and flower farms across the U.S. I will be adding as many green wedding resources as I can find to this blog, so keep checking back.

Morning MoneyBeat: Midterm Election Casts Cloud on Stocks
MARKET SNAP: At 6:24 a.m. ET, S&P 500 futures down 0.29%. Treasury yields lower at 2.66%. Nymex down 0.42% at $99.45. Gold 0.78% higher at $1272.7/oz. In Europe, FTSE 100 up 0.02%, DAX up 0.13% and CAC 40 up 0.25%. In Asia, Nikkei 225 up 1.77% and Hang Seng down 0.27%.
WATCH FOR: No major economic data on tap. Hasbro, McDonald's (monthly), Pioneer Natural Resources and Rackspace Hosting are among companies scheduled to report financial results.
The congressional election is nine months away, but it is already casting a cloud over U.S. stocks.
The market's tough start to the year is running into the buzzsaw known as the midterm election. Investors hoping that the worst is over following the big rallies last Thursday and Friday are likely mistaken, as stocks face significant headwinds in the months ahead.
Stocks are historically volatile during the second year of the four-year presidential cycle, which is this year. Since 1962, the S&P 500 has suffered a correction of at least 14% in 10 of the prior 13 midterm election years, according data compiled by Strategas Research Partners. In the other three years, pullbacks ranged between 8% and 9%.
The tough start to 2014 fits the bill, albeit the timing of this year's selloff has come earlier than usual.
In previous midterm election years, the market usually began sliding in the springtime and didn't bottom until the fall, around the time of the election. Stocks then bounced back and registered strong gains in the following year.
This year, the S&P 500 dropped 5.8% from mid-January through early February. After last week's strong finish, it is now down 2.8% year-to-date.
More immediate concerns–slowing economic growth and turmoil in emerging markets–have prompted the market's slow start. And despite back-to-back triple-digit gains for the Dow, few investors are ready to say last week's rally marks the beginning of a sharp upturn.
"I don't think this correction is over," Bob Baur, chief global economist at Principal Global Investors, which manages $300 billion, said in a chat with MoneyBeat. "Midterm election years have been tough for the stock market. And there are some significant structural headwinds coming from emerging markets before we can give the all-clear signal again."
Brad Sorensen, director of market and sector analysis at Charles Schwab, said investors haven't exhibited the "get-me-out attitude" that usually signals the beginning of a market turn. As the market gets closer to the election, he said he's worried the increased political rhetoric will weigh on markets like it has in the past.
The S&P 500 suffered a 16% pullback during the previous midterm election year in 2010. Other corrections were even worse: The S&P 500 dropped 32% in 2002, although that drop came as markets were plunging after the tech bubble burst. The stock index dropped 20% in 1990 and fell 38% in 1974.
To be sure, those declines were all reversed within a year. As Strategas notes, the S&P 500 hasn't dropped in the 12 months after a midterm election pullback since at least 1950. It has averaged a 32% rally once the correction hit bottom.
The question of course is whether the bottom is in, or whether investors should expect more pain as spring approaches.
"We haven't seen intense selling and sentiment hasn't gotten that extreme" to call a bottom, Mr. Sorensen said. There will likely be "more bumps in the road," he added. "Given history, they will be a great buying opportunity."

Among the companies whose shares are expected to see active trade in Monday's session are Hasbro Inc., Loews, and Urban Outfitters
Hasbro is forecast to post fourth-quarter earnings of $1.21 a share, according to a consensus survey by FactSet.
"Concerns about holiday sales is making us cautious on upcoming 4Q results, but investors are now braced for a softer report and likely more focused on Hasbro's big 2014 entertainment driven product lineup," analyst Eric Handler at MKM Partners said in a report.
He lowered his quarter earnings estimate to $1.18 a share from $1.27 a share previously.
Loews is projected to report fourth-quarter earnings of 70 cents a share.
Urban Outfitters is expected to post earnings of 56 cents a share in the fourth quarter.
Investors Raise Bar for Earnings: "Investors this year are showing an impatience rarely seen during the record-setting 2013 stock-market rally, digging deep into corporate quarterly reports and often sending shares falling even if companies meet forecasts."
Hundreds in Besieged City of Homs, Syria, Saved Under Fire: "Hundreds of the sick and starving trapped here by civil war were rescued this weekend after a United Nations convoy rolled through mortar shells and sniper bullets into this besieged city, setting a grim tone for peace talks Monday."
Despite Rocky Start to Year, Investors Keep U.S. Stocks in Sight: "As last year ended, investment advisers warned clients to expect a choppier, less-satisfying 2014. They have been right. While money managers were relieved at the stock rally late last week, many remain nervous."
Hedge Funds Clash Over Argentina Debt: "Gramercy Funds Management and Elliott Management provide a rare example of two multibillion-dollar funds taking opposing strategies on a big trade."
Millions Trapped in Health-Law Coverage Gap: "Because states declined to expand Medicaid, 4.8 million people fall into a coverage gap: They earn too little to qualify for health-law subsidies to buy private insurance, and aren't eligible for benefits under existing state programs."
Barclays Probes Alleged Data Leak: "Barclays and the U.K. banking regulator have launched investigations into allegations that information about thousands of the bank's customers was stolen and sold to brokers."
Barclays to Report Full-Year Profit of $8.52 Billion: "Barclays PLC Monday said it will announce adjusted pretax profit for 2013 of £5.2 billion ($8.52 billion) on Tuesday, compared with analysts expectations of £5.41 billion, according to its website."
Fed Nominee's Citi Tenure Is Grist for Confirmation Hearing: "Stanley Fischer, nominee for Fed vice chairman, is likely to face lawmakers' questions at a confirmation hearing about whether he would be a tough regulator of big banks after earning several million dollars at Citi."
Good Sign for Jobs: Workers Get Bolder: "The percentage of U.S. workers who voluntarily left their job—the 'quit rate'—hit 1.8% in November, the highest during the recovery, in a healthy sign for the labor market."
Opposition Gets Sprint, T-Mobile to Regroup: "Sprint is weighing whether to continue trying to acquire rival T-Mobile after antitrust officials expressed strong opposition to a deal."
AOL Chief Reverses Benefits Change: "AOL Inc.'s Chief Executive Tim Armstrong said Saturday the company would reverse a recent change to its employee 401(k) policy."
Heard on the Street: Apple can't Buy Back Confidence: "Tim Cook's buyback spree is unlikely to relieve the pressure on Apple."
College-Football Star Says He Is Gay: "Michael Sam, an all-American defensive end as a senior at Missouri, stands to become the first publicly gay player in the NFL."

If life were a movie, Barack Obama would look into the mirror and see George W. Bush. He would rub the mirror and Bush would still be there, giving him that galling smirk. Obama, no fool he, would quickly understand: Here he is, like the predecessor he so (rightly) loathed, metaphorically trudging the vast Arabian desert, searching for Weapons of Mass Destruction. Only history can decide if this movie's a comedy or a tragedy.
Already, the Syrian debacle has taken on aspects of Iraq. Bashar Assad's chemical weapons are, as we once thought about Saddam Hussein's, on the move. "Today, we have information that the regime began to move chemical materials and chemical weapons to Lebanon and to Iraq," Gen. Salim Idriss, the opposition's military leader, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. "The regime is behaving like Saddam Hussein," he later added.
Precisely. And now Obama is forced to behave like Bush.
Whether Assad has transferred his WMD to Iraq of all places is not all certain. (The Iraqis deny it.) What is much more certain, though, is that WMD have been on the move within Syria. The Wall Street Journal, citing a variety of authoritative sources, reports chemical weapons have been dispersed to at least 50 sites. The job has been done by the regime's elite and extremely loyal Unit 450, which is exclusively composed of Assad's fellow Alawites. The unit can be tracked by satellite and presumably hit by missiles. That, though, might mean a loss of control and a scramble for what remains. Will jihadists get their hands on sarin gas?
Obama must be choking on irony. This is a president, after all, who campaigned against the war in Iraq and has since proclaimed himself the war-ender, not the war-starter. He is the complete anti-Bush — thoughtful, reflective, cautious and never suggesting that he has heard from the Almighty on what to do next.
Still, Obama has so lost control of his foreign policy — if he ever had one — that he must now wait on Assad to go through with a deal the Russians of all people made possible. He must continue to threaten force, but the American people, Congress and, most important, the Russians will not permit it and — here's Bush smirking again — don't believe him. In the end — and the end could be months down the road — the Syrians may well surrender their stock of chemical weapons, but Assad has literally gotten away with murder. He gassed about 1,000 civilians, including 400 or so children, and did not pay a penalty. So much for red lines.
The pity of it is that had Obama actually used force early on, Assad would not have dared to gas his own people.
It's not difficult to pick winners and losers here. Clearly, Russia is a winner — the deal-maker, the guarantor, the Security Council member packin' a veto. Israel wins in the short run if Syria actually disposes of its WMD. The long run, though, is a different story. Israel's preoccupation is Iran and its presumed effort to make a nuclear weapon. If this happens, that's another Obama red line — possibly another to wobble. But the Syrian people are the sure losers. The U.S., the Russians and the Assad regime have a deal. WMD must go. The killing by other means can continue.
As for everyone else, we're all losers. Because of Obama's fecklessness — abetted by a Congress that has turned darkly isolationist — the world is now a less safe place. The policeman has proved to be a bumbler. He is unschooled in foreign policy. Rogues and killers have taken the measure of him. He is smaller than first appeared.
An Obama forced to act like Bush is ironic, but no fun. They both got into their fixes by adhering to false policies. Bush had a red line for WMD that didn't exist. Obama, in the end, didn't have one for WMD that did.

The giant wolf Fenrir must have been really adorable as a pup. Why else would the Aesir decide to banish Loki's other monster babies from Asgard, but raise Fenrir as a pet? They should have known better. After all, a prophetess warned them that Fenrir would kill Odin at Ragnarök. But Odin and Týr had a soft spot for the wolf, and just kept feeding him until he grew so big they couldn't control him. It took magical dwarvish bindings and gigantic stone stakes to leash him permanently, and Týr lost a hand in the process. Now, Fenrir howls in horrible pain from the sword stuck between his jaws to keep him from biting. He also slobbers a lot, causing the River Ván to flow. And like Loki's other kids, he waits eagerly for Ragnarök, the great battle when he'll finally get his revenge.

"If Sarah Palin wins, I'm leaving Earth," Tina Fey
"We're gonna take it week by week. If she wins, I'm done. I can't do that for four years. And by ''I'm done,'' I mean I'm leaving Earth," the New York Daily News quoted Fey, as telling the magazine. Fey's turn as Palin has made the show a hit in Internet reruns. Election time is always good for 'SNL' and this is a bonkers election," Fey said.
"And that lady is a media star. She is a fascinating person, she's very likeable. She's fun to play, and the two bits with Amy [Poehler], that was super fun," she added.

It wasn't quite as big as the anticipated Jason Spezza move, but the Blues did in fact make some noise in the draft, trading defenseman Roman Polak to Toronto on Saturday in exchange for defenseman Carl Gunnarsson and the No. 94 overall draft pick. The Blues would later use the pick acquired to draft amateur goaltender Ville Husso.
Both pieces of the trade are under contract through the 2015-16 season. Polak, the cheaper of the two swapped players, is slotted to make $3.1 million in each of the next two years, while Gunnarsson will make $3.15 million next season and $3.45 million in his final contract year.
Gunnarsson also holds a slightly higher cap hit at $3.15 million compared to Polak's $2.75 million. However, as part of the deal, Toronto absorbed $200,000 of Gunnarsson's cap hit. With the Leafs' retention, Gunnarsson's cap hit for next season will actually be $2.95 million.
Polak, 28, had spent the last seven seasons holding down a spot on the Blues' blueline. The strong, defensive defenseman was found mostly on the Blues' bottom pairing, but was an everyday player for the club.
The trading of Polak is the shake-up of the defensive core that the Blues had been rumored to be looking to make. St. Louis, a team that was looking to tweak their defensive group, essentially swapped defensive types with Toronto.
Heading into the offseason, it was widely known that Blues general manager Doug Armstrong would be scavenging the market for a left-handed defenseman to slot with Kevin Shattenkirk. Shattenkirk did not have a partner inked into place last season, splitting time with the likes of Carlo Colaiacovo and Jordan Leopold. But the Blues wanted something more solidified this season. Gunnarsson gives them that solidification.
As a six-foot-two, 196-pound defenseman, Gunnarsson has spent five NHL seasons with the Maple Leafs, accumulating 86 points (15 goals, 71 assists) and a plus/minus rating of plus-15. The 27-year old has seven more points than Polak in 120 fewer games.
Gunnarsson had recently been the partner to star defenseman Dion Phaneuf in Toronto, and had the Leafs' best plus/minus rating last season (plus-12).
The Swedish defenseman is, however, coming off of an offseason surgery to repair a hip flexor. Gunnarsson underwent the surgery in May after battling the hip injury for more than a year. Before having the surgery, Gunnarsson tried electroacupuncture to alleviate the pain. When the therapy didn't work, surgery was deemed necessary.
Despite the procedure, Gunnarsson is progressing nicely and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

10 Tips to Win at Baseball Card Investing
|What is Baseball Card Collecting?
|Baseball card collecting connects fans with baseball players and gives the fan a sense of involvement in game. Collecting baseball cards has been a popular hobby for over 100 years. A collector has quite a selection of cards from which to collect. This can be confusing but it also offers freedom. In the end the choice of what you should collect is yours. A theme or taste often guides a collector.
Some collectors collect cards from a specific era or type or of a favorite player or team. Some collectors collect unusual or rare cards. Some collectors simply collect what fancies them at the moment. Some collectors change their focus over time, perhaps switching from 1950 Topps and Bowman to 1930s Goudey. Some try to create sets gathering each different card from a particular issue. Some collect errors or variations. Some collect players from their home town or school. Some collectors specialize in rookie cards. Some collect the aptly named odd ball cards which includes cards like the Cranes Potato Chip Discs, Armour Hot Dog Coins and Spic n Span Die-Cuts.
|Baseball Card Care, How to take care of your cards.
Taking card of your cards is essential in keeping their value. An accidental ding or crease can lower a cards value. There are many affordable products to protect your cards.

15th victory in series
Roger won his first indoor tournament match in almost a year at the Madrid Masters. He defeated the Olympic gold-medalist Nicolas Massu 6-3 and 6-2, taking home his 15th match in series.
It is is Roger's first indoor victory on the ATP tour since a five-set loss to Nalbandian in the Masters Cup final last November. "It's always nice to beat the Olympic champion," Roger said. "I think I played the big points better than he did. This is a good surface for my game, and it's a perfect result for the first round."
Roger's round-of-16 opponent will either be Robin Soderling or former No 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero - who eliminated our star in the semifinals on his way to the title in 2003. "At that time we were both fighting for Number 1 and he played really well then," Roger said of Ferrero. "I always enjoy playing against him, and any former No. 1."
well done federer a good start for the tournament i am damn sure u r goin win the tournament this time. A very best of luck
LOVE a lot
Good luck in the quarters
THis might be a little too late
i've just seen the scoreboard over you and Soderling.
The first set is very tight, 7-6.
I don't know how was the match going
but i hope it is going well
From here, good luck Roger.
More will be on the way.
good luck for masters cup this time we want that u beat david nalbandian and win 1 more crown of victory for us as u always
love u always
take care
Cori USA
i habe
God bless you,

The Case for Content Marketing for Startups (Part 1)
When getting a new business off the ground, oftentimes marketing gets pushed to the back-burner in favour of development, research, or sales. And that's OK, because I'm here to tell you that you can boost your brand and get in front of customers without having to spend a dime.
No, it's not magic… it's content marketing!
Content Marketing. [kənˈtent ˈmɑrkətɪŋ] noun.
"Content Marketing is owning, as opposed to renting media. It's a marketing process to attract and retain customers by consistently creating and curating content in order to change or enhance a consumer behavior." – Content Marketing Institute
Content marketing dates way back to 1895 when John Deere created a magazine called The Furrow, which was put in the hands of farming communities free of cost and full of information that was relevant and helpful to them. Now, with the low cost and technical knowledge required to create digital content, we see many other examples of content marketing; e-books, webinars, whitepapers, infographics, case studies, blogs… the list goes on.
Why Content Marketing for Startups Makes Sense
I may have already hooked you with the mention of free marketing, but there are a lot of other great reasons to start creating content for your customers:
- You focus on your customers and what they want and need. Content marketing is all about providing value, and to do so you have to put yourself in the customers' shoes. This is always a good exercise because what you learn can be applied across the business.
- You establish yourself as an authority in your industry. By being that company who openly shares their knowledge and expertise, customers see and appreciate that you know your stuff. By pushing yourself to create new content regularly, you'll also learn and grow a lot along the way.
- You make yourself easier to find on the web. If you integrate some SEO practices into your blogging, prospects are more likely to visit your site. If you produce a video and host it on YouTube, you'll get preferential treatment on Google results pages. The key message here is that content marketing needs to be integrated with other (usually free) digital tactics.
- You have fun doing it! It's safe to say that entrepreneurs open up shop because they have a passion for the industry, product, or service that they're in. Let those reasons shine through the content that you create and it won't even feel like work!
If you're warming up to the idea and would like to learn more, I suggest starting out with the great blog produced by the Content Marketing Institute. Also, keep tuned here as I hope to write more about specific tips and tricks!

Rothstein Law Partner Pleads Guilty to Criminal Conspiracy Charge
A former law partner of Ponzi-scheme operator Scott Rothstein pleaded guilty to a criminal charge this week.
With Stuart Rosenfeldt's guilty plea, to a count of criminal conspiracy, all three name partners of the now-defunct Florida law firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler have admitted to criminal activity.
Mr. Rothstein, of course, notoriously admitted to operate a Ponzi scheme that bilked investors in bogus legal settlements out of well over $1 billion. He's currently serving a 50-year prison sentence. And earlier this year, Russell Adler pleaded guilty to breaking federal election laws.
According to the Sun Sentinel, prosecutors said Mr. Rosenfeldt indirectly helped Mr. Rothstein's Ponzi scheme through a conspiracy to engage in bank fraud. They also accused him of making tens of thousands of dollars in political campaign contributions, including to U.S. Sen. John McCain's (R., Ariz.) presidential campaign, for which the law firm reimbursed him.
Mr. Rosenfeldt, 59 years old, is due to be sentenced Sept. 24 and faces a maximum sentence of five years' imprisonment. The Sun Sentinel says he'll remain free on $250,000 bond until sentencing.
In April, Mr. Adler also pleaded guilty to a conspiracy count. Federal prosecutors say he committed the same crime as Mr. Rosenfeldt, by making political contributions which were then illegally reimbursed by the law firm in order to evade campaign finance limits on individual donations. Mr. Adler, 52, also faces a maximum sentence of five years' imprisonment and will be sentenced on June 27.
The Miami Herald has more details on the now-bankrupt law firm's campaign contribution practices.

Though David Suchet played Agatha Christie's brilliantly eccentric Belgian detective Hercule Poirot for more than 25 years, the British actor never had a long-term contract with the series.
"Every time a Poirot series finished, I never knew if I was going to do another one," says Suchet, who has written the book "Poirot and Me," about his quarter-century as the meticulous supersleuth.
"Actually, looking back rather like a spider at his web at my life, I am actually grateful," Suchet says. "I was free to choose and accept theater engagements, Hollywood films and other television. Although Poirot did come back every now and again, they always worked around my other commitments."
When he wasn't putting Poirot's "little gray cells" to work, Suchet, 67, appeared in London's West End in Arthur Miller's "All My Sons," Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night" and David Mamet's "Oleanna." And he earned a Tony nomination in 2000 for a revival of "Amadeus."
Suchet is now touring in Roger Crane's "The Last Confession," a political thriller the actor originally did in England in 2007. The play revolves around the sudden and mysterious death of Pope John Paul I in 1978 just 33 days after his election, and before he could set his liberal reforms in motion. Suchet plays the politically adept Cardinal Giovanni Benelli, who had been instrumental in getting the former Cardinal Albino Luciani elected as pope.
The only U.S. stop for "The Last Confession" is at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, where it continues through July 6. The production then heads to Australia for a multicity tour.
Benelli, who died of a heart attack in Florence, Italy, in 1982, also was "one for political change in the Vatican," Suchet says. "He was not very popular with the traditionalists. I call him a bit of a political Rottweiler."
Conspiracy theories surrounding the pope's sudden demise ran rampant at the time and continue to this day. "I remember it vividly," Suchet says with a charming smile during an interview at the downtown L.A. apartment complex where he's residing during the engagement.
"Different stories were coming out of the Vatican about who found him and when he was found. He was buried without an autopsy -- the quickest burial of any pope in living history. We will never know ... what happened."
"The Last Confession," Suchet says, "opens doors and holds the Vatican possibly accountable for its actions."
Suchet believes the play is even more timely now, because of the election last year of Pope Francis, who is also leading reforms in the Catholic Church.
When "The Last Confession" premiered in 2007, some critics referred to Benelli as an Hercule Poirot without a Belgian accent because he launches his own investigation into John Paul I's death. But Suchet sees the play less as a mystery than a drama about Benelli's distress and sadness over the loss of his good friend.
"He also has his own guilt because he didn't go for the papacy," Suchet says. "After John Paul died, he actually went for the papacy himself. He struggled with his faith. This play is as much about that as anything."
Brian Bedford was set to play Pope John Paul I until illness forced him to withdraw earlier this year. Richard O'Callaghan, who originated the role, took over for Bedford and says he's thrilled to be working with Suchet once more.
"He's more than an acting partner," O'Callaghan says. "He is kind of the company leader. He looks after every single person in the company and makes sure everyone is happy."
Sheila Ferris, Suchet's wife of 39 years, plays a nun in the drama. They two met in 1972 in a production of "Dracula." Ferris was playing the ingenue Lucy, and Suchet was Renfield, the "guy who eats flies." "I thought, 'Am I never going to get this girl?' " he says, "but in the end, we got together."
Ferris gave up her career to raise their two children, now grown. Working together onstage after all these years is great, Suchet says. "We even have a scene together."
It's been nearly a year since Suchet completed "Agatha Christie's Poirot," whose 70th and final episode was titled "Curtain: Poirot's Last Case." Though the series concluded last fall in England, the final five installments will air in the U.S. this summer. Under the series named "Hercule Poirot," PBS will debut episodes titled "The Big Four" on July 27 and "Dead Man's Folly" on Aug. 3. The final three installments -- "Elephants Can Remember," "Labours of Hercules" and "Curtain" -- will stream in August on Acorn TV.
"I have people say, 'How could you do that role for so long?'" Suchet says, providing his answer: "I was never bored with the man." Fans would fly in from China, Japan and Russia to see the actor in the West End because they were Poirot fans, he says. "Aren't I lucky? Such a gift of a role."

Product Description
Onward, Christian Soldiers is a strategic level game from Richard Berg, this one focused on one of, if not THE, centrifugal events in the Middle Ages -- The Crusades. Onward, Christian Soldiers will allow gamers to replay not only the first three Crusades -- the only 3 that focused on what we call The Middle East -- but with scenarios that range from a 7-player version of the 1st Crusade to a 3rd Crusade scenario that supposes Frederick Barbarossa didn't drown in Turkey and his immense army reached the Kingdom of Jerusalem pretty much intact.
Onward, Christian Soldiers uses numerous innovative mechanics, including:
- an Activation system that allows players to choose which leaders/armies they want to use most in a given turn, but not know when they will be available for such use.
- a Movement system with no Movement Allowances or Costs, but a heavy emphasis on Attrition and the ability of commanders to "keep going". Shop 'til ya Drop...
- Combat mechanics that put a major, detailed emphasis on sieges and ravaging the surrounding areas, but still allow for the predilections of the various armies in field battles (such as the famous Frankish Heavy Cavalry Charge), as well as the abilities of their commanders... men like the great initial Crusaders, such as Raymond, Bohemond, Godfrey and Tancred, King Louis VII of France (and his troublesome wife, the famous Eleanor of Aquitaine), Frederick Barbarossa (if he stays away from the pool), the dangerous Nur ad-Din, the magnificent Saladin, and the one Christian the Muslims feared more than anyone, Richard Lionheart.
- Movement and attrition go hand in hand in this game. Leaders may move as far as they want -- in fact, in one playest, a Crusader army decided to try marching from the entry spaces near Tarsus all the way to Jerusalem in one shot. They made it, with roughly 3/4 of the force disappearing to attrition, and not enough remaining to siege the city. But even if they'd succeeded, the game doesn't end just because Jerusalem falls. It's an important victory point location, but it has to be held. And the problem for the Crusader forces is that they get no reinforcements but the Muslim forces do.
- The game uses three sets of cards (110 cards total). Each of the four Crusader factions -- Northern Franks, Southern Franks, Sicilian Normans, Germans -- and three Muslim factions -- Nothern Syrians, Southern Syrians, Mosul Turks -- has three or four Leader cards, which the players secretly "purchase" at the beginning of the Game-Turn to create the Activation Deck that determines which leader goes next. In addition, there are two Event Decks - one for the Crusaders and one for the Muslims -- through which a variety of random events occur, ranging from taking cities via treachery to suffering added attrition through oppressive heat.
- Normally, each Leader controls armies only from its own faction. However, a simple set of multi-faction rules controls situations in which either side wishes to combine their armies into larger forces, mostly for the sake of sieges against major cities. The Siege of Antioch, which usually happens early in the game, often requires such an army. The multi-faction rules particularly come into their own during multi-player games; here you can expect to see players bickering over who controls the combined forces, an important point considering that whoever is in charge when the city falls gains control over the city. If attacked while combined, the players of a multi-faction force have 30 seconds to decide who's in charge: if they don't, they defend using a mediocre formation.
- TIME SCALE: 6 weeks per turn
- MAP SCALE: Point to point system
- UNIT SCALE: Strength points = 200 men

Talking To Older Drivers About Safe Driving
Getting older does not mean a person's driving days are over. But it is important to plan ahead and take steps to ensure the safety of your loved ones on the road. NHTSA offers free materials to help you learn more about how to recognize and discuss changes in your older loved one's driving.
If you think you need to have a conversation with an older driver about his or her driving abilities, remember that many older drivers look at driving as a form of independence. Bringing up the subject of their driving abilities can make some drivers defensive. So, be prepared with your observations and questions, and - if necessary - provide possible transportation alternatives.

You all are crazy.

Is there anything you'd like to come clean about, Limbs?
I don't know about limbs, but i assumed THE POSSIBILITY of rape (please note the difference between the assumption of possibility and the conclusion that it actually happened) because it is something that I have experience with. My experience was that I sat on jury duty during a rape case where the victim was intoxicated at the time of the incident. From this, I learned the legal definiton of rape, which is something to the effect of :
261. (a) Rape is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a
person not the spouse of the perpetrator, under any of the following
3) Where a person is prevented from resisting by any intoxicating
or anesthetic substance, or any controlled substance, and this
condition was known, or reasonably should have been known by the
(4) Where a person is at the time unconscious of the nature of the
act, and this is known to the accused. As used in this paragraph,
"unconscious of the nature of the act" means incapable of resisting
because the victim meets one of the following conditions:
(A) Was unconscious or asleep.
(B) Was not aware, knowing, perceiving, or cognizant that the act
My other relevant experience is working and knowing a women's resource center and thus learning how common it is and how similar the circumstances of rapes are to the circumstances of OM3N's story. Thus, for me, given the information, it was completely possible that a rape occurred. Though I guess this made me guilty of "flashing my feminist credentials" or however it was said earlier.
If you are shocked that the question of rape was brought up, then you might be unaware of the reality of rape, or were being disingenuous. We were lead to believe that OM3N and the girl were intoxicated, that they had sex, and that she flipped out in the morning. Read the above partial definition of rape and explain to me how this was completely out of the realm of possibility given the information we had.
In any case, my point, which seems to be getting lost in the righteous indignation, is that there is a difference between the following two statements:
"Rape is one of the possible things that may have happened"
"OM3N definitely raped her"
Please note the difference in the two statements. I insist that while the former statement was justifiably made, it was incorrectly interpreted as the second statement.
I believe that "backpedaling" happening is not really backpedaling, but rather attempts to clarify this point.

From I90 take 45 south. Make a left on Route 307 heading east. Continue through the light on the intersection of Route 46 and 307. Make a right at the first stop sign onto market street. The new section of Oakdale Cemetery will be on your left. You will pass a second entrance to Oakdale, but you should continue driving until you can make the first left onto E.Ashtabula Street. Make the left and park on the left hand side in the parking area.
As you walk through the cemetery, take note of the Bunnell/Custin monument five rows in from Market Street. It is blue and made of cast iron which is rather unusual. You will see several other cast iron head stones on your walk. Take your time to browse this section of the cemetery with its life size statues and revolutionary war grave sites.
From the parking area walk north until you come to the gravel driveway. Make a right and continue walking east. On your right look for the tree hugging the headstone of John Udell, a veteran of the War of 1770. Continue walking on the drive until you reach the Arlie monument on your right. Turn right and you will see a huge tree in front of you. The letter box is hidden in a nook at the base of the tree. Please replace the stones carefully after you have done your stamping.
Before you leave, investigate some of the other gravestones and notice the beautiful old trees. One stumps has over 150 rings. We have tried to research the cemetary but could not find any information. If you know anything about this cemetery please email me.

Moogle shares results of his exploratory hacking with the ASICMiner Block Erupter, using an external clock signal and variable voltage –
I used a 10K ohm pot to adjust the core voltage with a volt meter on the pin I soldered to the main asic core voltage line. You should be very careful if you use my method and always have a volt meter on the asic core voltage line. I mostly did changes with the Block Erupter connected to my bench power supply with the current limited to prevent any mishaps.
Sadly, one ASIC was lost during the procedure, may its sacrifice not be in vain – learn more over at WTFMoogle

OAKLAND -- After tens of thousands of property owners sent in formal letters of protest, the Alameda County Waste Management Authority on Wednesday dropped its plan to charge homeowners $9.55 each year to pay for the disposal of hazardous household waste.
The owners of more than 100,000 apartment units, condominiums and houses flooded the agency with letters of opposition, an unprecedented protest that was still not enough to meet the majority threshold to automatically defeat such a proposal. But it did attract the attention of the waste authority's 17-member governing board.
The fee was defeated, at least for now, when the board on Wednesday could not muster the required two thirds approval to adopt it.
Four board members representing Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton and the Castro Valley Sanitary District voted against it.
Eleven members representing the county's other cities, from Berkeley to Fremont, voted in favor.
Absent from the vote were Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson and Oro Loma Sanitary District board member Laython Landis. The fee could only have been adopted if one of them -- 12 board members total -- voted in favor.
The board plans to take up the issue again on May 28, allowing the absent members to weigh in.
Defeating the planned per-home fee "means about half as many households will be served, about half as much hazardous waste will be diverted from landfills and other places," said Gary Wolff, executive director of the waste authority, also known as StopWaste.
The agency funds four drop-off sites in Oakland, Fremont, Hayward and Livermore that collect batteries, paints, solvents and other hazardous refuse that cannot be dumped in the regular trash. Those drop-off centers are only open during certain days and hours, but Wolff said the fee revenue would allow them to sustain and expand their operations amid declining revenue from landfill fees.
Owners of multifamily apartment buildings led the opposition to the proposal, arguing they should pay less per unit because their tenants do not produce as much hazardous waste -- a contention the waste agency disputes. The protests represented about 18 percent of all affected residential units in Alameda County. Forty-five percent were filed by the owners of bigger buildings with at least five units; 12 percent represented smaller multifamily homes; 43 percent were filed by owners of single-family homes.
Fremont homeowner Mike Lopez was one of several protesting letter-writers who questioned whether StopWaste had the authority to implement a countywide fee. The retired firefighter called it "an outrageous money grab at the taxpayers' expense."
Wolff has said the procedure followed California's Proposition 218, a 1996 constitutional amendment that requires local governments to get the approval of affected property owners before levying a fee.
The fee was expected to generate $5 million each year for the collection of cleaners, paints, pesticides, car products and other hazardous household waste. It would have expired in 2024.

Loboda, T, O'Neal, KJ, Csiszar, I (2007). Regionally adaptable dNBR-based algorithm for burned area mapping from MODIS data. REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT, 109(4), 429-442.
AbstractRecent advances in instrument design have led to considerable improvements in wildfire mapping at regional and global scales. Global and regional active fire and burned area products are currently available from various satellite sensors. While only global products can provide consistent assessments of fire activity at the global, hemispherical or continental scales, the efficiency of their performance differs in various ecosystems. The available regional products are hard-coded to the specifics of a given ecosystem (e.g. boreal forest) and their mapping accuracy drops dramatically outside the intended area. We present a regionally adaptable semi-automated approach to mapping burned area using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. This is a flexible remote sensing/GIS-based algorithm which allows for easy modification of algorithm parameterization to adapt it to the regional specifics of fire occurrence in the biome or region of interest. The algorithm is based on Normalized Burned Ratio differencing (dNBR) and therefore retains the variability of spectral response of the area affected by fire and has the potential to be used beyond binary burned/unburned mapping for the first-order characterization of fire impacts from remotely sensed data. The algorithm inputs the MODIS Surface Reflectance 8-Day Composite product (MOD09A1) and the MODIS Active Fire product (MOD14) and outputs yearly maps of burned area with dNBR values and beginning and ending dates of mapping as the attributive information. Comparison of this product with high resolution burn scar information from Landsat ETM+ imagery and fire perimeter data shows high levels of accuracy in reporting burned area across different ecosystems. We evaluated algorithm performance in boreal forests of Central Siberia, Mediterranean-type ecosystems of California, and sagebrush steppe of the Great Basin region of the US. In each ecosystem the MODIS burned area estimates were within 15% of the estimates produced by the high resolution base with the R-2 between 0.87 and 0.99. In addition, the spatial accuracy of large burn scars in the boreal forests of Central Siberia was also high with Kappa values ranging between 0.76 and 0.79. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
