5 Ways Marijuana Has Changed Since You Were in High School
The last decade and a half have been good to marijuana (or kind to bud, if you go for that kind of joke). More and more states have passed medical marijuana laws since California blazed the path way back in 1996, and just last year, Colorado became the first state to legalize marijuana for recreational use. That was a dream come true for both proponents of legalization at the federal level and the long-suffering residents of Colorado, who have absolutely nothing else to do but smoke pot. You shouldn't be punished for living in a boring state, it's about time politicians understood that.

This guy gets it.
Now that Colorado has kicked the legal weed door down, expect several more states (including yours) to follow suit in the coming years. That means you might have access to more marijuana than you've ever seen in your entire life very soon, and you can enjoy it all you want without the worry of falling afoul of the law.

Or having to sit in this dude's living room.
If you decide to partake, you might be surprised to find that, like so many other things you haven't kept up with since high school, marijuana has changed a lot over the years. At least that's what my friends who smoke weed told me when I interviewed them for this article.
Here are five ways marijuana has changed since the last time you got high.
#5. Weed Does Not Always Make You Sleepy
Christopher Robbins/Photodisc/Getty
I wrote about medical marijuana once before, because I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty to make the wheels on this column go 'round. As with any other subject, while researching that article I came across a few fun facts that I like to toss out at gatherings and parties and such whenever an opportunity to turn the talk toward me and what I do for a living presents itself. The marijuana fact that seems to come as the biggest surprise to people is that, contrary to popular belief, weed does not always make you tired.
If you ever hear someone say that they tried weed once and then gave it up forever, ask them why. You'll almost always get one of two answers. It either made them terrifyingly paranoid or it just made them fall asleep. In fact, if they give any other answer, stop hanging out with them. That person is probably a total bummer.
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
"Sometimes I wonder if you even want friends, son."
Anyway, it's the latter of those two experiences that happens to the majority of people (thankfully), so the generally accepted stereotype about marijuana is that it makes you sleepy. Think about those two reactions for a second, though. Extreme fatigue or extreme paranoia. Those are basically opposite ends of the mood spectrum. How does the same drug have such vastly different effects on people? Simple: There are two vastly different types of weed.
One, indica, is the kind that makes you tired. The other, sativa, has the opposite effect. I know it seems counterintuitive, but there is some marijuana out there that, when consumed in whatever fashion you prefer, will give you laser-like focus and concentration, even if the only task at hand is the regrettable one of selling the rest of the room on your theories about why 9/11 was an inside job.
Unfortunately, that's also the type of marijuana that is capable of producing what's commonly known as a "bad trip," so it should come as no surprise that, on most marijuana dispensary menus, indicas make up the majority of the available selections. Additionally, "hybrid" strains (crosses between indica and sativa) tend to be indica-dominant as well.
So, it's not that weed always makes you sleepy; it's just that the kind that does is also the one that's most readily available and most commonly used. And that brings up another question. If you've talked with your doctor and decided medical marijuana is right for you, how will you know what kind to buy to fix your particular ailment? That's easy ...
#4. Medical Marijuana Has Its Own WebMD
Marijuana wouldn't be legal for medical use if there wasn't at least some evidence that it's effective at dealing with the problems for which it's "prescribed." The thing is, that list of ailments is fairly extensive ...
I might have added a couple of those myself.
... but it's nowhere near as long as the list of available marijuana strains. If forced to choose between, say, an eighth of Cat Piss or an eighth of Girl Scout Cookie, how will you know which is best for treating your depression?
You may note that each of those excellently named strains is a link. If you click them, you'll be taken to a site called Leafly, which is basically WebMD for medical marijuana. Sort of. You can't use it to diagnose your medical problems, but you probably shouldn't use the real WebMD for that either, no matter how much fun it may be. What you can do with Leafly, though, is find the ideal marijuana strain for just about any ailment that "doctors" might "recommend" you "treat" with a bong shaped like the space shuttle.
For example, are you wondering which strain of marijuana will finally rid you of those pesky muscle spasms? Obviously, a toke of the Django is what you need.
Feeling nauseous? Don't reach for Pepto-Bismol. Roll up some Dopium instead!
Is your woman stressing you out because it's "that time of the month" again?
Break up with her. You wouldn't be smoking weed if you welcomed stress like that into your life.
So, you've read my hard-hitting expose on how to obtain a medical marijuana card, and you've researched Leafly and decided on the perfect configuration of frosty nuggets to cure your diseases. Now, how do you decide where to shop? That's also easy, because ...
#3. Medical Marijuana Also Has Its Own Yelp
In the age of the Internet, no service is immune from having to answer to the often deadly online review. Websites like Yelp not only give commoners like us a place to have our voices heard when we feel we've been wronged by the shitty service at a store or restaurant, but they also provide a means of exhaustively researching every available option before making a buying decision.
A website like that also exists for medical marijuana dispensaries. It's called WeedMaps.com. Well, because nothing says "We're chillaxed, bro" like airtight search engine optimization, the actual URL is legalmarijuanadispensary.com. "WeedMaps" is just the stage name.
Those purple dots are places near the Cracked office where you can legally buy weed, for the record.
How does it work? Well, say you've done the research and decided that the best hope for curing your anxiety is to fire up a bowl of Afghani Bullrider. Just type the name of that strain into the handy search function and you'll be presented with a list of dispensaries that sell what you need. From there, you can not only compare prices ...
... but also read reviews of each dispensary. As you might imagine, medical marijuana reviews are a special kind of wonderful to read:
Dispensaries be trippin' sometimes.
Granted, you can find reviews of marijuana dispensaries on Yelp too, but you won't find updated weed menus, which are usually worth reading just for the names.
Of course there's weed named after the president.
In case you're wondering, "DOGO" is short for "donate one, get one." To avoid having their doors kicked in by the feds, dispensaries use words like "donation" instead of "price" so as to not imply that they're operating a for-profit marijuana business. So, in the regular shopping world, that abbreviation would be "BOGO," or "buy one, get one."
What I'm saying is, there are weed stores that have buy one, get one free sales, and this website helps you find them. Welcome to the future. Wait until you see what else has changed.

Westley and Chambers given CB40 chance
Click here for all the latest scores, match reports, news, videos and exclusive interviews during the Yorkshire Bank 40 campaign
Essex head coach Paul Grayson insists he will still field his best available side in the Clydesdale Bank 40 clash with Leicestershire, even though the Eagles can no longer qualify from Group A.
Grayson's men have won just two of their eight 40-over games this summer, but performed strongly with the bat this week in their LV= County Championship match against tomorrow's opponents.
"We have to be respectful to the competition so, although we can't qualify, we will play our best available side," Grayson said.
"It is also a good opportunity for us to see the likes of (Maurice) Chambers and (Tom) Westley to see where they are at in one-day cricket.
"Winning breeds confidence and the team responded well against Leicestershire in the four-day competition after the disappointing defeats to Hampshire in the LV= County Championship and Somerset in the Friends Life t20."
Leicestershire are bottom of Group A, level on points with Essex.
Middlesex will attempt to move to the top of Group A when they welcome fifth-placed Worcestershire to Uxbridge.
Neil Dexter's side are level on points with leaders Lancashire, although the Red Rose have played two fewer games.
Gordon Drummond returns to captain Scotland in their Group B tie with Durham at Uddingston.
Drummond returns to the side after missing out on last week's clash with the Welsh Dragons at Cardiff due to work commitments, while Safyaan Sharif will be pushing for a start after recently returning from a knee injury.
Following the elation of a historic Twenty20 international victory over Bangladesh, the Saltires were brought back down to earth with an eight-wicket CB40 defeat at the hands of the Dragons and captain Drummond is hoping for a positive response.
"We have two games left in this competition and need to put in a performance in these last two fixtures, and make sure that we are confident in the type of cricket we want to play," he said.
Durham come into the tie after claiming the scalp of Australia A in a three-day tour game at the Emirates Durham ICG, where Ian Blackwell claimed seven second-innings wickets
Nottinghamshire will look to get their CB40 season back on track when they travel to Swansea to face the Welsh Dragons.
The Outlaws' loss to Surrey on Wednesday evening dropped them to third place in Group B and broke a run of four straight victories.
All-rounder Graham Wagg could return from injury for the Dragons, having been named in a 13-man squad.

Because the Internet is filled with sleuths and busybodies (primarily), someone on Reddit uncovered Dinklage's yearbook photo from his 1987 senior year at New Jersey's Delbarton prep school (ranked ninth in the nation by the Wall Street Journal in 2009), and, boy, is his haircut something.
The picture quickly went viral and has received more than 1.5 million views on imgur.
We all made some interesting decisions regarding hair in our youth, but Dinklage's mullet would probably earn a derisive crack from his Game of Thrones character Tyrion. (It's business in front, Red Wedding in the back!)
Dinklage's yearbook quote, in case you're interested, is by actor and writer Sam Shepard, and reads, "Words are the tools of imagery in motion."

Monday, August 5, 2013
Justin Pelic has spent countless time pushing his 12-year-old body to the limit. He runs drills in knee-high surf at Sullivan's Island and finds the rare hills of the Lowcountry and sprints them.
Yet, his time at the Hershey Track and Field Nationals in Pennsylvania was short. And, that was a good thing.
Pelic tied his best time of 13.7 in the 100-meter race. It was good enough for seventh place out of eight competitors from around the country.
Gary Santos, a coach at Christ Our King-Stella Maris School, has been training him with natural conditioning. No weights, just a mix of old-school and new-school workouts.
"I hate to see weights on a kid this young," Santos, a former track athlete and football player at Bishop England from the 1970s, said. "I'd rather see them out there getting that natural conditioning in the sand, in the water, on the hills."
Last year, Pelic – competing as an 11 year old in the 11-12 division – didn't come close to this year's performances. Santos identified one of his weaknesses as his start.
After watching the NFL Combine, he noticed those players would start their sprinting tests with one arm in the air so they could use it to drive forward when the gun sounded. Pelic adapted that same running style, and it's worked.
What started as a supplement to football became a passion for him. Santos said Pelic asks him questions about nutrition. "I said, 'You're 12," he said, laughing.
"If he didn't have this dedication," Santos added, "it wouldn't matter how good his conditioning is."
Most youth athletes succeed through raw talent. Then, in high school, proper form and fundamentals are emphasized. Pelic is way ahead of his peers.
He started running track a couple years ago. "I found out I was pretty good at track, and I started loving it after that," he said.
But, football is still No. 1 to the running back. "They're kinda tied," he said, "but I like football a little bit more."
Prior to the trip, he said his expectations in Hershey are to just have fun and get a good place. He met former Olympian Carl Lewis, toured the famous chocolate factory and enjoyed a celebratory banquet. Even though he didn't finish first, that's not a shabby weekend. He will donate his medals from a decorated summer circuit to the Christ Our King School.
"It's starting to rain," Pelic said at the Park West track on Tuesday to Santos.
"You gonna melt?"
"No, sir."
"All right," Santos said. "Let's go again."
Pelic trains with a small parachute pulling behind him to help his ability to start quicker. When he runs, the parachute opens and provides resistance.
"Your form is really good," Santos said to Pelic. "Even in high school, there will be guys that won't have that."
There was no heat before the 100-meter race in Hershey. More than 650 miles separate Charleston from Hershey, and the trip's climax lasted less than 15 seconds.
Pelic said his favorite aspect of the 100-meter race is its brevity. "It's not too long," he said. "Everything is speed."

When the Chicago Cubs were up 9 (nine!) to nothin' over the St. Louis Cardinals, the best word I could come up with was "exotic".
Because that's how it felt.
Two days in a row of massive Cub bat-damage?
That's like being on some island in National Geographic where the lizards all have fur and bring you rum drinks.
Luckily the game was delayed by rain so's I could hear some on the radio while driving home, and LaHair's Grand Salami happened about a minute after I turned it on.
Neither Pat Hughes or Keith Moreland thought it was going out, and both sounded surprised that it did which actually made for a kinda cool radio moment. And I thought man if I was on the radio right now I'd say, "That grand slam by LaHair made it by a hair!" and the audience could collectively groan yet maybe remember that moment a little clearer.
Which, HEY! I kinda did here, right?
And I'm making a new window/flower box for the front of the house, so I continued with the radio while sanding and got all nervous with the rest of you when Samardzija gave up that batch of runs and even though the bullpen's been kinda scary I was thinkin', "HEY SVEUM PUT SOMEBODY IN."
But Samardzija goes 5, then Dolis-Russel-Wood-Marmol all worked perfectly.
I even saw the Marmol part, and he looked great (struck out 2!).
I didn't mention that Ian Stewart banged a 3-runner out too.
Cubs 9 Cards 5.
The whole deal was the opposite of what you expected, which happens ALL THE TIME in the Greatest Rivalry in Sports.
Today at noon Central it's Chris Volstad vs. that guy who took Chris Carpenter's place, Lance Lynn.
Lance won his first game, and I'd appreciate it if they didn't have their own version of Lynn-sanity in St. Louis.
Also, I read some thing about the entire Midwest being under some kind of Horrible Weather warning, with conditions that probably will create angst and havoc and hopefully not tornadoes (or a rain delay in St. Louis).
Go Cubs!
Re: LaHair's grand slam made it by a hair.
Someone else said it in previous post, but I would rather watch this team develop then some of the overpayed crap we have trotted out lately.
Move Byrd, Dejesus in CF, Sori in Right, LaHair in lf and bring up rizzo.
Re: LaHair's grand slam made it by a hair.
As much as I've always opposed Soriano since his signing, he seems to have changed something. That diving catch he made, though it looked bad, was really a pretty good play with the way the ball was twisting in the air. Since he is the poster child of our over-payed crap, if he can do something good on this team it would be a huge bonus to us.
Re: LaHair's grand slam made it by a hair.
He looks much much more confident. He also looks like he's taking a little pride in defense--like he thinks catching the ball matters. Bob talked about him working on being "aggressive" on defense.
Re: LaHair's grand slam made it by a hair.
He has the look of a man determined to be traded to a real baseball team.
Re: LaHair's grand slam made it by a hair.
He's actually been tracking the ball pretty well when I've had to chance to watch him. Even his approach at the plate seems different. If he is determined to answer his critics, good for him. I'd love to see him make a point. Hell, I've even seen him make contact on stuff he didn't use to make contact on. And lay off some stuff he was swinging at.
But a week doesn't a season make. I'm skeptical, but strangely hopeful.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Schuyler VanFleet, 22, was taken into police custody and Barek Madden, 23, was flown to UC Davis Medical Center with third-degree burns on his face, arms and upper body on Wednesday after their alleged drug operation at Forest Manor Apartments reportedly went awry.
"They were in the process of cooking and preparing hash, and it got away from them," South Lake Tahoe Fire Chief Brian Uhler said.
VanFleet told police he was visiting Madden's apartment in unit one and that they had been using several cans of butane fuel to cook marijuana into a concentrated form called hashish. The fire started in the apartment accidentally, he said.
Around 3:15 p.m. the butane the two young men were using caught fire, causing an explosion, Uhler said. They brought the container outside, where it flashed quickly and lit Madden on fire.
Pedro Vargas, who lives in the apartment building behind Forest Manor at the corner of Forest and Wildwood avenues, said he heard a sound like a balloon blowout and saw flames coming from the lower level of the apartment building.
About 10 firefighters and four law enforcement personnel responded to the fire, evacuating the six units in the building. No other buildings were affected.
Firefighters confirmed the presence of about a dozen cans of butane in the apartment. The extent of the damage to the unit is unknown, and according to a city press release, criminal charges against Madden may be pending. VanFleet has already been arrested for unlawfully causing a fire and for operating a drug lab, both felonies.
The South Lake El Dorado Narcotics Enforcement Team has taken over primary investigative reporting.

"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future," they said in a statement released by Nordegren's Virginia-based law firm of McGuireWoods. "While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us."
The documents do not reveal details of the split, but the couple's statement also says, "Once we came to the decision that our marriage was at an end, the primary focus of our amicable discussions has been to ensure their future well-being. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them as we adjust to a new family situation, which is why our privacy must be a principal concern."
The settlement – division of property and assets – was undisclosed, but varying reports have suggested that Elin, 30, could receive anywhere from $100 million in assets to as much as five times that figure. Sources have previously told PEOPLE that custody was the key issue for both, and that the couple wanted to share custody of their two children, Sam Alexis, 3, and Charlie Axel, 18 months.
Whatever the terms of the divorce are, they have likely changed over the past few months. Sources say that although Elin had signed a prenuptial agreement, it was renegotiated after the sex scandal that derailed Tiger's personal life and professional career.
The split comes as little surprise to those closest to the 34-year-old Woods.
Shortly after the November car accident outside his family home, reports emerged that he had been carrying on several affairs. After he admitted his infidelities, he put his golf career on hold while he attended what was described as sex rehab in an undisclosed location.
Separate LivesMeanwhile, Elin continued to be seen in the Orlando area – running errands, dining out and taking her children to school. She also enrolled in psychology classes at Rollins College. Sources have said that the split and continuing news have taken an emotional toll on the former sports model, and that she may move back to her native Sweden in upcoming months.
A source close to Elin tells PEOPLE that she is relieved that the issue is resolved: "She's feeling okay about all this. She's been through hell but handled herself with such dignity. And now she's got a whole new life ahead of her."
After it became clear that the couple was living separate lives, Woods's golf game began to falter.
In post-tournament press conferences, he refused to answer questions about his marriage, but did open up about his children. "All that really matters is I have two beautiful kids," he told reporters last month, "and I'm trying to be the best dad I can possibly be, and that's the most important thing of all."
Woods was represented by Thomas J. Sasser of the Florida firm of Sasser, Cestero and Sasser and by Peter T. Mott of his long-time general counsel Brody Wilkinson of Connecticut. Richard Cullen and Dennis I. Belcher of McGuireWoods provided counsel for Nordegren.

I am drooling over that cake!!
I'm a new follower.
Eclair cake is one of my all time favorites! Yours has turned out beautifully with that ooey gooey chocolate and cream. Yummmm!ReplyDelete
YUMMY! This cake is one of our favorites. Only difference is the recipe I was given uses a homemade chocolate topping, but using canned would be great in a bind.ReplyDelete
I have to tell you our FAVORITE way to serve it is with strawberries, either the frozen kind, thawed or fresh, it just takes it over the top cook. Plus it looks pretty and Valentiney!
I am so excited to see that you brought this wonderful Eclair Cake today. It just looks delicious and I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for bringing it to Full Plate Thursday. You have a great week end and please come back!ReplyDelete
I've never seen this before, but I like your addition of the banana. This sounds really great to me. I bet the graham crackers make a nice crunch.ReplyDelete
Hey girl! You're REALLY popular, I don't think I've EVER received 30+ comments...EVER! Maybe if two commenters got into an argument or a conversation of their own? LOL!ReplyDelete

I made this today, and needless to say, it did not make it 'overnight' in the fridge. I held-out for about 5 hours and then I absolutely HAD to 'test' it!

This one will stay in my recipe box for sure!!! Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete

Hi Brandie! So, I have been patiently waiting to make this cake (it just didn't seem like a "winter" cake), and today I've decided the wait is over! Only thing...I didn't have any Vanilla pudding :( No worries though, I did have 1 White Chocolate pudding mix and 1 Cheescake pudding mix(I'm doubling the recipe of course). Undaunted, I set forth, and let me tell you...OMG...it is good! I love the creamy yet tangy flavor from my pudding combo! I can def see where you could let your creative juices,..errr...puddings flow with this recipe! Thanks for posting!ReplyDelete
I always wanted to tell you that my dinner menu tonight is straight from The Country Cook; we're having Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole with a garden salad, and Eclair Cake for yummy dessert! Thanks Again! Kim

Love this dessert, but won't eat Cool Whip. Any low calorie solutions. Whipped Cream is a little too fatty for me.ReplyDelete

I just made this! I used the low fat graham crackers, sugar/fat free pudding, lite whipped cream, and regular chocolate fudge icing!! I try to cut out calories when I can. Can't wait to have it for dessert tonight!ReplyDelete

This sounds very good and so easy. My family does not like cool whip, if it possible to use the real stuff in a can?ReplyDelete
I think I can make this for the diabetics in my house, like me. All I need to find is some form of sugar free graham crackers. This recipe is too good to pass up. Thanks for this and all the good recipes you post!!ReplyDelete

How Ferguson, Mo.'s Power Structure Lagged Behind Racial Shift
Dante Chinni writes Politics Counts as a regular Capital Journal feature. Mr. Chinni is the director of the American Communities Project at American University, which examines different types of communities across the U.S.
The racial strains on display in Ferguson, Mo., since the killing of an African-American teenager by police this weekend are not new to Americans. But Ferguson, a small suburb in metro St. Louis, has some additional factors playing into its current rise in tensions – including big changes in its population not matched by shifts in its power structure.
In the last decade or so, the city's composition has changed dramatically. It has gone from being a city that was fairly closely split between African Americans and whites – 52% and 44% of the population respectively in 2000 – to 67% African American today.
And yet, as other news outlets have noted, the city government is still overwhelmingly white – including the mayor and 5 of six city council members. What's behind that discrepancy?
One reason may have to do with who votes in city elections. There are about 15,000 residents who are 18 or older in Ferguson, and only about 1,350 votes were cast in April's mayoral election, in which Mayor James Knowles III was unopposed.
There were about 1,500 votes cast in the last city council race in 2013. In 2011, one city councilman won his seat with a grand total of 72 votes.
Those racial divides in the power structure extend to the police department as well, where only three of 53 officers are African American.
In many ways Ferguson is an example of how the nation's suburbs are changing. As suburban cities diversify racial and ethnically, urban phenomena like white flight have expanded outward as well. Ferguson has seen its white population decline by about 40% since 2000.
In Ferguson the divide between the city's changed demographics and its unchanged power structure creates special challenges – there have reportedly been death threats against city officials – and it may lead to challenges in settling down a tense environment.

You want to buy a new toilet and you want to make sure it works properly. You may have heard horror stories about new ultra low flush toilets that only use 1.6 gallons of water per flush. But fear not! There are many excellent toilets available that work well and use much less water than the inefficient models of yesteryear.
Why 1.6 gallons per flush?
Federal law currently mandates that all toilets manufactured in the U.S. must use an average of 1.6 gallons (6 liters) per flush or less. These 1.6 gallons per flush toilets are often referred to as ultra-low-flush or ULF toilets. This law was put into place in 1992 in an effort to improve water efficiency nationwide and coordinate various state standards. Toilets made from the early 1980s to 1992 used 3.5 gallons per flush or more. Toilets made prior to 1980 used 5.0 to 7.0 or high gallons per flush. The oldest toilets can use more than 8 gallons per flush. Replacing an old toilet with a new ULF model can result in substantial water savings.
Selecting a Toilet: Gravity vs. Pressure Assist
There are two basic types of toilets on the market for the residential sector – gravity flush and pressure assist models. Most toilets (old and new) utilize a gravity flush mechanism, but pressure assist models are becoming increasingly popular as manufacturers strive to improve flushing effectiveness while using 1.6 gallons of water or less.
(Back to Top)
The most common type of toilets are the gravity-fed models which rely on the
weight of the water and head pressure (height of the water in the tank) to promote the flush. If you see freestanding water when peering down into the tank, your toilet is gravity fed. Some old-fashioned toilets had a tank mounted high on the wall above the bowl with a long chain for flushing. These old-time toilets used the height to increase the head pressure and resulting flushing action.
Gravity toilets depend on the volume of water in the tank to flush waste and usually require water pressure of no more than 10 - 15 pounds per square inch (psi) to operate properly. The tank and bowl are usually two separate pieces, although this is not obvious once they are in use. A few one-piece toilets are also available. Gravity tank toilets are relatively inexpensive, with retail prices for two-piece toilets ranging from $75 - $200 and one-piece models costing somewhat more.
The pressure-assisted toilet relies on air pressure within a cylindrical tank (metal or plastic-like material) inside your toilet tank. Air inside the cylinder forces a vigorous, rapid, and occasionally noisy flush. The cylinder, along with the "roaring/whooshing" sound when you flush it, are sure signs of a pressure-assisted toilet. If you look inside the toilet tank of a pressure-assist model there should be no freestanding water visible. Pressure-assist toilets require a minimum water pressure of 25 psi to operate well. Retail prices for these toilets are generally over $150.
Purchasing Tips
Before you go shopping:
At the store:
Water Conservation Tip
Some manufacturers are now offering dual flush toilets. These innovative products offer two flushing modes – a half-flush for liquid and a full-flush for solids. Dual flush models have been shown to use less water than standard ULF toilets (DeOreo et. al. 2001).

KINGS BEACH, Calif. - Placer Adult Literacy Service is a county wide program that has been providing reading assistance for adults since 1985. While it is well established in southern Placer County, it is relatively new to the Tahoe region.
Paula Westeren, the coordinator of the PALS program based in Auburn, is working closely with Anne Greenwood of Kings Beach Public Library to provide the same level of service in the North Tahoe area. This outreach to Tahoe is the based on the fundamental belief that the ability to read and write empowers adults to make a better life for themselves and their families.
The statistics for adults without the ability to read and write are higher than most realize. Shockingly, one in five Americans whose first language is English cannot read. In California the problem is even more pronounced: 23 percent of California adults whose first language is English do not have the skills needed to complete a simple one-page job application.
Non-readers come from every age group and socioeconomic background. They might be someone you know well, or an individual you are meeting for the first time. The inability to read is a hidden problem. It is often unnoticed (even by family, friends or employers). We all benefit from a literate community. Unemployment and crime decrease with an increase in literacy, discrimination lessens and class lines begin to blur.
PALS provides people with the tools to change their lives by giving them the reading, writing and basic math skills needed to earn a living and improve our community.
On Saturday Jan. 5, 15 big-hearted individuals donated a full day to be trained as "Reading Coaches." The philosophy of the program is "Each one Teach One," which translates to "If you know how to read, share that gift and privilege by teaching someone else."
The training consisted of methods for teaching adult learners, how to access the vast resources provided by Placer County Libraries such as workbooks and other developmental materials, tricks and tips for engaging learners and much more. The volunteer reading coaches are matched with a learner and work one-on-one with them at a time and place convenient to both.
To qualify as a "learner" in the program, one should be over 16 years of age, out of school, and able to speak English well enough to request services. Upon acceptance, the learner will first perform an assessment, then be placed with a reading coach that best matches their needs. The learner must be able to commit to meetings with their coach on a regular basis.
The service is free, confidential, one-on-one, learner-centered and goal-oriented.
If you or anyone you know can benefit from this program, please contact Greenwood at 530-546-2021 or Westeren at 530-886-4530. You can also stop by the Kings Beach Library located at 301 Secline St. in Kings Beach for more information.
If you have an interest in promoting adult literacy in our community but are unable to commit to being a coach, we invite you to become a member of the Literacy Support Council of Placer County. It is a nonprofit organization formed in 1991 whose sole purpose is to provide vital assistance to the PALS program. Contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Yuja Wang
Twenty-three year old Chinese pianist Yuja Wang is recognized for playing
that combines the fearless imagination of youth with the discipline and
precision of a mature artist. Yuja's command of the piano has been described as
"astounding" and "superhuman," and she has been praised for her authority over
the most complex technical demands of the repertoire, the depth of her musical
insight, as well as her fresh interpretations and graceful, charismatic stage
presence. This past season The San Francisco Chronicle wrote,
"The arrival of Chinese-born pianist Yuja Wang on the musical scene is an
exhilarating and unnerving development. To listen to her in action is to
re-examine whatever assumptions you may have had about how well the piano can
actually be played."
Yuja has already performed with many of the world's leading orchestras, including the Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco and New World symphonies and the Philadelphia Orchestra in the U.S., and abroad with the Tonhalle Orchestra, China Philharmonic, Filarmonica della Scala, London Philharmonic and the NHK Symphony in Tokyo. In 2006 Yuja made her New York Philharmonic debut at the Bravo! Vail Music Festival and performed with the orchestra the following season under Lorin Maazel during the Philharmonic's Japan/Korea visit. In the spring of 2008, she toured the U.S. with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields led by Sir Neville Marriner. Yuja has given recitals in major cities throughout North America and abroad, makes regular appearances at festivals, and is a dedicated performer of chamber music.
During the 2010-11 season, Yuja debuts with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra led by Danielle Gatti, Orchestre de Paris conducted by Juraj Valčuha, RAI Torino led by Mikko Franck, and Orquesta Nacional España and Berlin Staatskapelle, each conducted by Pietari Inkinen. She also makes recital debuts in Madrid and Tokyo. Yuja will appear at the Shanghai Expo with Filarmonica della Scala led by Semyon Bychkov, and perform with the Cincinnati, Oregon, Pacific, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Toronto and Winnipeg symphonies and the National Arts Centre Orchestra.
Yuja is an exclusive recording artist for Deutsche Grammophon. Her debut recording, titled, Sonatas & Etudes, was released in spring 2009, and was followed by a second recording, Transformation, in spring 2010.
Born in Beijing, Yuja began studying piano at age six, and then at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. After attending three Morningside Music summer programs at Calgary's Mount Royal College from 1999-2001, she moved to Canada to study at the Mount Royal College Conservatory. Yuja moved to the U.S. at 15 to study with Gary Graffman at The Curtis Institute of Music, where she graduated in 2008. In 2006, Yuja received the Gilmore Young Artist Award. In 2010, she was awarded the Avery Fisher Career Grant.

Throughout the year fellowship donors and their students have opportunities to meet and develop wonderful relationships. Fellowship donors witness and participate in their students' artistic, professional, and personal development.
Those who join the Curtis Fellowship Program by making a gift to name an endowed or annual fellowship help guarantee Curtis's unique education today and for generations to come.
Student fellowship naming opportunities
What a Curtis education costs
$37,600 = the value of each undergraduate student's full-tuition scholarship
$50,100 = the value of each graduate student's full-tuition scholarship
62 percent of Curtis's annual budget = proportion devoted to student financial aid and training cost
$1.3 million = the annual cost of financial aid alone—one of Curtis's fastest growing expenses.
78 percent of Curtis students qualify for and receive financial aid.

"I've been dieting my whole life because I have a tremendous appetite," she said recently at a brunch at Butter in New York to announce her new role as the spokeswoman for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.
Luckily Cattrall, 54, says that she grew up with a healthy attitude about food and exercise. "This generation of women that I'm in, we have been brought up with Jane Fonda workout tapes and fresh air is good for you and exercise every day and drink eight cups of water.... and it's paid off at this time of my life," says the actress. "It gets harder because parts of my body don't want to be on a diet, but at the same time it gets me up in the morning to work out."
So, what is her culinary weakness? "I make a really mean chocolate cake and a glass of milk. French food and anything creamy and whippy," she adds. "And sometimes, it's a drink – Campari and tonic [is my favorite]."
And while she she is stepping back into the dating pool, that isn't the reason she maintains her figure. "I don't do it for a guy. I do it for me. It's about taking care of yourself."
As for romance, Cattrall, who split from husband Mark Levinsonin 2003 says, "I am starting to date, but I'm just dipping my toes. I think, especially at this point in my life, I feel pretty happy. I like who I've become and it's changing always. I'm kind of embracing that."

Those living in the right-wing bubble have at least one thing right. America does have "makers" and "takers." But the real "takers" are the wealthy, not the lower-income people Mitt Romney infamously branded the "47 percent."
What radical right-wing ideology supporters generally fail to point out is that the US tax system is designed to reward the wealthy and penalize everyone else. It also creates the need for public assistance programs that ultra-conservatives refer to as the American welfare state.
The rigged American socioeconomic system has ended up producing a relatively small group rich people who use loopholes avoid paying taxes, and poor people trapped in poverty by their own government, because if they can't make it to the top 2 percent, they end up struggling even more.
Part of the problem is in safety net income thresholds that are set at such outdated levels, they encourage failure and fraud. In a recent appearance on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show," Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman put it this way:
"In our system … the biggest disincentives to work … are for lower-income workers who are in that range where if you earn a little bit more you start to lose benefits, you start to lose Medicaid, you lose housing subsidies."
In Georgia, for example, the income cut-off for Medicaid can be as low as $208 per month. Therefore, if the additional income that disqualifies low-income workers from government benefits is not enough to make up for lost assistance, they end up being stuck living on the edge of poverty and dependent on the government to survive.
Up to this point, the radical right-wing conservative-types seem to have a valid argument against creating an environment of government dependence. But this is actually an ideological delusion rooted in what is fundamentally wrong with radical right-wing conservatism.
Let's do the math. The reason so many people need public assistance for food, housing and health care is that too many US employers are unwilling to provide benefits or pay their employees a living wage, which is currently about 30 percent more than the federal minimum wage.
Conservatives routinely balk at the mere mention of raising the minimum wage with unfounded claims that it will "kill jobs." However, it is the entire concept of supply-side economics that is the real failure of right-wing politics.
The conservative formula of keeping wages low to protect corporate profits creates an entire class of people with almost no opportunity for upward economic mobility.
If the minimum wage is $8 an hour, and a living wage is around $12 an hour, people working for less than what's needed for the basics have no leftover cash to feed their kids, buy a new car every few years, or pay for a college education or trade school that might bring them to a higher-paying job. It all adds up to profound limitations on overall economic growth.
Ending government food assistance, housing, unemployment benefits and education grant programs does not solve the problems of income inequality, poverty, and a shrinking middle-class—it makes them worse. For every federal dollar spent on unemployment, for example, $1.60 goes back into the economy.
America cannot cut its way to prosperity.
"Nearly 40 million more Americans are only staying out of poverty with the help of programs such as Social Security, food stamps, and the earned-income tax credit. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, without these programs in place, the poverty rate would nearly double," according to Moneynews.
If either Republicans or Democrats were serious about creating a better America, they would not suggest that more austerity is the answer. Instead, they would fully support replacing the minimum wage with living wage standards. In doing so, the need for the "welfare state" would be greatly reduced or eliminated. Also, with more money in people's pockets, more would flow into our consumer-driven economy, and the broadened tax base would contribute to reducing the deficit.
This is not a secret formula for economic success; it's common sense and math.
The only thing stopping prosperity from becoming reality is politicians who are afraid that their wealthy donors will dump them in favor of different elected puppets who will do their bidding to protect their profits from rising wages.
PoliticusUSA calls the right-wing Republican ideology that favors the rich a "real threat to America," explaining it as follows:
"Many of the same individuals who received billions of dollars from the government in the bank bailouts … are currently spearheading a campaign to demand billions of dollars in cuts to social programs while billions more are requested for corporate 'incentives' like tax breaks …
"CEOs of companies ranging from TimeWarner and Honeywell to Boeing and General Electric, are all part of Campaign to Fix the Debt, a project of the Center for a Responsible Federal Budget.
"Fix the Debt is really just an advocacy organization for people who deeply believe in disaster capitalism and austerity measures. Their solutions for resolving the debt 'crisis' always revolve around funneling more money toward the wealthy through tax breaks for both corporations and upper income people while making dramatic cuts to the social safety net."
In the real world, the millionaires stumbling through the halls of Congress have probably never met anyone thriving on or contemplating the American dream, working for eight bucks an hour.

Save the SSDI: Why and how to help
What if the US Social Security Death Index (SSDI) were no longer available?
What if we had to wait 125 years before US state birth certificates were made public? Or we had to wait 75 years for death certificates, marriages and divorce records?
It's time for genealogists and family history researchers to make their voices heard in regard to an attempt to close the US Social Security Death Index to researchers.
The Washington, DC hearings, held on Tuesday, February 2, were a popular topic of discussion at the recently held RootsTech 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Thomas MacEntee of Geneabloggers.com is a Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) director, and a member of the Records Preservation & Access Committee (RPAC). He writes:

Prince William is not impressed!
The Duke of Cambridge was photographed on Wednesday with an expression similar to what made Team USA gymnast McKayla Maroney an Internet sensation.
After losing the gold medal in the vault finals at the Summer Games in London, Maroney's less-than-thrilled mug spoke volumes about settling for the silver.
Maroney told the Hollywood Reporter: "I'm just really focused and really serious, I guess, and I think it's really funny, that Tumblr. It makes them and me laugh all the time."
After hosting the Olympic Games, William and Kate, both 30, are currently attending events at the Paralympic Games. The young royals were spotted at Wednesday night's Opening Ceremonies, then cheered on the athletes at some of the very first events of the Games on Thursday.

Product Details
With the combination of peripherals which enable glue-less connectivity to networked devices such as Ethernet or WiFi 802.11 a/b/g modules and power efficient signal processing, the ADSP-BF526 is well suited to IP connected applications such as VoIP Phone or IP Camera.
The VoIP challenge to the embedded-system designer is to choose a processing solution that is cost-effective, easy to deploy and scaleable in performance across market spaces. A "sweet spot" embedded-solution approach is to design with a platform that can implement a low channel count basic VoIP solution, yet retain sufficient capacity for value added capabilities and services – such as video, music, imaging and system control. Unlike traditional VoIP embedded solutions that utilize two processor cores to provide VoIP functionality, the ADSP-BF526 provides a convergent solution in a unified core architecture that allows voice and video signal processing concurrent with RISC MCU processing to handle network and user-interface demands. This unique ability to offer full VoIP functionality on a single convergent processor provides for a unified software development environment, faster system debugging and deployment, and lower overall system cost.
IP protection has become a necessary part of today's embedded computing applications. The ADSP-BF526 provides a security scheme which balances flexibility and upgradeability with performance through the inclusion of a firmware-based solution including OTP (One Time Programmable) memory to enable users to implement private keys for secure access to program code.

Is a radio talk-show hosted by uber-fascist Michael Savage. Mr. Savage regularly goes on extended rants, extolling his extremely over-stated impact on American society, blaming a multitude of diseases on illegal immigrants, and charging liberals with the various ills that have befallen the United States. He regularly bad-mouths callers who are incouraged to call in and challenge his self-assumed "genius." Michael Savage claims to be "Right of Rush and to the Left of God." He whined incessantly over the course of several days programming about being banned from the U.K. by British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, a very astute measure on her part. Unfortunately this means that there is one less place in the world to deport this reprobate to, should the American Government ever develop the sense to do so.
People that listen to Savage Nation and actually buy into it make me embarassed to be an American.
