Victoria Defrancesco Soto: Western states have their own personality. Arizona's brand of cowboy politics is largely unbridled by partisan institutions and a republican form of government.
The War on Obama's Faith: Who's Really Holier Than Thou?
David Love: Republicans are once again turning President Obama's faith into a political issue. But will their strategy work? History and hypocrisy suggest that the political gamesmanship won't succeed.
Time to Leave Afghanistan Now
Joseph Palermo: At about $10 billion a month, and an increasing number of American casualties in an environment more volatile than ever, the American people need to take long, close look at whether staying in Afghanistan until December 2014 is worth it.
Progressives Must Seize This Political Opportunity
Nick Capo: Progressive reformers have led this country to a better state in previous decades, and they will do so again. But it has to start at the local level.
Will Arizona's GOP Latinos Help Santorum?
Victoria DeFrancesco Soto: Their rejection of Romney is so strong that Somos Republicans have instructed their membership to write in Ronald Reagan for President if Romney wins the GOP nomination.
The Last Campaign of Richard Nixon
Devin Griggs: The parties might be reversed and the cultural issues of the 1970s flipped, but American politics since the Nixon-McGovern race has remained fairly fixed and share all of the rhetoric and even less of the substance that once defined American politics.
The Austerity of Hope
Vijay Prashad: The "safety net" that Romney mentioned has been frayed beyond recognition since the 1980s. One of the most grotesque problems is hunger.
Will the GOP's Base Strategy Work Yet Again?
Joseph Palermo: The Republicans think they believe that with enough SuperPAC money and stoking up the base, along with relatively high unemployment and gas prices and millions of underwater mortgage holders, they can win a close election.
Supreme Court Set to End Affirmative Action in U.S. Schools
Randy Shaw: In accepting a Texas case of a white student challenging racial preferences, the United States Supreme Court is again set to reverse decades of court precedents and impose its own conservative agenda.
The GOP's Big Investors
Robert Reich: Have you heard of William Dore, Foster Friess, Sheldon Adelson, Harold Simmons, Peter Thiel, or Bruce Kovner? If not, let me introduce them to you. They're running for the Republican nomination for president.
Top 10 Most Read Led by "Blaming Schools and Teachers"
Topping this week's list is, once again, Mark Naison, the Fordham University professor and editor of With a Brooklyn Accent, who writes so passionately on issues of education and race..
The Gas Wars
Robert Reich: Nothing drives voter sentiment like the price of gas – now averaging $3.56 a gallon, up 30 cents from the start of the year. It's already hit $4 in some places. The last time gas topped $4 was 2008.
Governor Brian Sandoval's Achilles Heel
Victoria DeFrancesco Soto: Sandoval has a proven track record of garnering support outside of his party but not within the Latino community. Sandoval would otherwise be an ideal running mate.

Xigmatek Prime Review
Performance and Conclusion.
Published: 30th January 2012 | Source: Xigmatek | Price: £39.99 |
To provide continuity the test set up is as always
Gigabyte UD3R V2
Intel i7 950 @ 4GHz 1.25v & 1.35v
Mushkin Radioactive 2000MHz
Cooler Master Storm Trooper
Corsair AX750w
For the first test we set our i7-950 overclocked to 200x20 @ 1.25v for a clock speed of 4.0GHz. We allow the system to idle for 10 minutes and then run Prime95 'maximum heat maximum stress' setting for a further 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes we note the temperatures of all cores and the ambient temperature of the room. An average of all cores is taken, then the ambient temperature is removed from this figure and this gives us the delta temperature. Delta is the temperature difference above ambient which is a truer reflection of the heat-sink performance rather than mere maximum figures. Testing in an Igloo or the Sahara would give vastly different maximum temperatures, yet the Delta could be the same. As this unit is supplied with 2 fans I have tested in both single and dual fan configuration.
The second test follows all steps from above but with a 200x21 @ 1.35v for 4.2GHz overclock, the extra voltage in this test allows us to see if the heat-sink can cope when extreme loads and overclocks are applied. As with 4.0GHz the Heatsink was tested in both single and dual fan configuration.

Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee reflects fondly on working with Heath Ledger, calling the actor's untimely death "heartbreaking."
"Working with Heath was one of the purest joys of my life," the director says in a statement. "He brought to the role of Ennis [Del Mar] more than any of us could have imagined – a thirst for life, for love, and for truth, and a vulnerability that made everyone who knew him love him. His death is heartbreaking."
Ledger was nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award for his role as Ennis Del Mar, a taciturn gay cowboy in the 2005 drama.

Aging and My Beauty Dilemma
September 24, 2016
Exercise is the most important lifestyle measure for treating, and preventing, PAD.
Exercise to Help the Heart. The benefits of regular moderate exercise for the heart are undisputed. People who maintain an active lifestyle have a 45% lower risk of developing heart disease than do sedentary people. And, according to the American Heart Association, patients with PAD who are physically active have death rates that are a third of those who are less physically active.
Exercise Training to Improve Blood Flow in the Legs. Exercise training improves blood flow in the legs and, in some cases, can work as well as medications and surgical procedures in increasing pain-free walking distance. To maintain benefits, exercise must be regular and consistent. A regular walking program, either outside or on a treadmill, is the best type of exercise for patients with PAD and can significantly slow the rate of functional decline.
For patients with intermittent claudication who find that their leg cramps make it difficult to walk or participate in lower-extremity exercise, upper-body aerobic exercise can still provide benefits. By increasing oxygen and blood flow through the body, arm aerobics may help reduce leg pain and improve a patient's ability to walk.
Patients who smoke should quit. Smoking is one of the primary risk factors for PAD and a major cause of complications. Quitting smoking may not make leg pain go away, at least not in the short term, but it certainly may keep blockages from getting worse. Continued smoking is associated with the majority of patients who progress from milder forms of PAD to critical limb ischemia involving severe pain, skin ulcers, and possible amputation. Smoking cessation also reduces the risk to the heart.
The goals of a heart-healthy diet are to:
Any diet should also help keep blood pressure and weight under control. General guidelines for a heart-healthy diet include:
In general, no vitamins have been proven to reduce the risk for PAD or heart disease. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to an increased risk of PAD; many older Americans are deficient in this vitamin. Deficiencies in the B vitamins folate and B12 have been linked with elevated levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that has been associated with a higher risk for heart disease and PAD. However, while vitamin supplementation lowers homocysteine levels, it has no effect on heart disease outcomes. Vitamin E has also not been shown to help with symptoms.
Generally, manufacturers of herbal remedies and dietary supplements do not need FDA approval to sell their products. Just like a drug, herbs and supplements can affect the body's chemistry, and therefore have the potential to produce side effects that may be harmful. There have been a number of reported cases of serious and even lethal side effects from herbal products. Always check with your health care provider before using any herbal remedies or dietary supplements.
Gingko biloba is an herbal remedy reported to have blood-thinning properties. However, studies have shown it does not provide any benefit for patients with PAD or intermittent claudication. Although the risks for gingko appear to be low, there is an increased risk for bleeding at high doses and harmful interaction with high doses of anti-clotting medications. This is particularly important because patients with PAD often use these types of medications. Commercial gingko preparations have also been reported to contain colchicine, a chemical that can be harmful in pregnant women and people with kidney or liver problems.

Diamondbacks General Manager Kevin Towers might have gotten a little bit carried away when he said that as he watched shortstop prospect Didi Gregorius during the Arizona Fall League, he was reminded of "a young Derek Jeter."
But we're going to give him a break.
First, he did add that "he has that kind of range," so he wasn't necessarily talking about all aspects of a young Jeter.
Plus, Towers has to do a little selling given all that the Diamondbacks gave up for Gregorius as part of a nine-player, three-team deal with the Reds and Indians.
Or maybe it was 11 players.
Remember when the Diamondbacks used the third overall pick of the 2011 draft on UCLA's right-handed pitcher Trevor Bauer, the primary piece the Diamondbacks moved in Tuesday's deal?
Diamondbacks President and CEO Derrick Hall said the club's scouts "were saying this is a guy with the body of (Tim) Lincecum, the stuff of (Roy) Oswalt and the mind of (Greg) Maddux."
So, the Diamondbacks evidently traded 597 career wins and a half dozen Cy Young Awards for the next Jeter.
We're kidding, of course.
But it is eye-popping when a team gives up on a top pitching prospect so quickly, especially one with a 92-mile-per-hour fastball and a knee-buckling curve.
Towers said Gregorius will come to spring training with a chance to compete for the everyday job at shortstop along with veteran Willie Bloomquist and Cliff Pennington, another shortstop prospect obtained in the October give-away of center fielder Chris Young.
And the Diamondbacks are loaded with young arms, making the choice to trade Bauer a little easier.
But clearly the team didn't believe Bauer, 21, was ready to make the next step, even though he was named the club's minor-league Pitcher of the Year after compiling a 12-2 record and 2.42 earned run average between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno last season.
The Diamondbacks never seemed to be completely comfortable with Bauer, although Hall tweeted Wednesday that he was "sad" to see the quirky young right-hander go.
We don't think it was because he struggled with control and was 1-2 with a 6.06 in four starts with the Diamondbacks.
Nor do we believe it was all about the weird-but-entertaining stretching routine and long-toss ritual that Bauer developed as a 14-year-old and which he evidently refuses to alter.
The Diamondbacks knew all about the circus routine when they drafted the guy.
Maybe the Sedona Red flag first went up for the Diamondbacks when Bauer repeatedly shook off catcher Miguel Montero upon his arrival in the big leagues and then told reporters later that he would meet with Montero to make sure Montero knew how he wanted to pitch.
"What? He's going to tell me how to do my job?" Montero seethed at the time.
In September, Bauer was not among the players called up from the minor leagues when rosters were expanded, and he apparently butted heads with Triple-A Reno manager Brett Butler.
Then there was that jewel from Ken Kendrick, the Diamondbacks managing general partner, who told KTAR Radio (620-AM) of Bauer, "he is the employee, and in an employer-employee situation, it's incumbent on the employee to make adjustments to satisfy the needs of his employer."
And there's the rub.
Bauer is a smart, supremely confident guy. He majored in mechanical engineering at UCLA and has well-thought-out reasons behind all of the out-of-the-box stuff that he does.
He is a non-conformist. Bauer is convinced, whether he's right or wrong, that his methods are the very reason he was the No. 3 pick in the MLB draft.
So it stands to reason that he's going to resist anybody and everybody who suggests it is "incumbent" on him that he make "adjustments" to what he believes got him this far in the first place.
Thing is, pro sports are full of people who think a little differently. They're not always easy to get along with. They can be high-maintenance individualists. Divas, even.
They're not all model "employees."
Randy Johnson comes to mind. Heck, he had to have his own catcher.
But it sure seems like the Big Unit was worth the trouble.
"My guess is this kid's going to have a very good career, and my hope is that this is a win-win for both sides with Cleveland and us," Towers said of the deal during a conference call Tuesday.
He should hope so.
Because if a little bit of Lincecum, Oswalt and Maddux really do emerge from Bauer in Cleveland, Towers better get a lot more from his new shortstop than Derek Jeter's range.

Today's guest post is written by John-Henry Doucette.
Yesterday Gini Dietrich blogged about the latest Wal-Mart PR debacle, but the subject isn't quite finished.
The quick recap: Wal-Mart, PR firm Mercury Public Affairs, and its former employee Stephanie Harnett are facing a maelstrom of ethical issues after Harnett pretended to be a reporter.
Both Wal-Mart and Mercury denied any knowledge of Harnett's undercover adventures, called it bad business, and she's no longer on Mercury's payroll. Good night, everybody!
Not so fast.
I find myself less interested in Harnett's comeuppance than I am in how her former employer handles what she apparently gathered.
Here's why:
The Guardian reported one worker at the first press conference talked to "Zoe" (Harnett) in a half-hour "interview." Harnett took notes on his background and concerns. Some reports specify that she used a recorder to tape the interview or interviews.
So who has her notes and/or files?
Whatever the value of Harnett's legwork, these are ill-gotten gains. I'm not sure whether these materials are still in the hands of Mercury, which did not respond to calls Friday and Monday.
Do they have written notes? A digital voice file of an "interviewed" worker? Did they review any of it? Is it enough to say, as Wal-Mart has, that it intends to "help ensure this type of activity is not repeated?"
I did reach Dr. Marie Hardin, director of the Arthur W. Page Center for Integrity in Public Communication at Penn State to get her take.
Here's the meat of what she told me:
"I think the ethical thing to do is not to benefit from those notes, which would mean not to use those notes in a way that would put it at an advantage in its relationship with Wal-Mart and the union and with the person who was recorded. …
The ethical thing to do is to share all of the materials she gathered with the people she deceived. …
I think all too often we think about ethics on individual terms, but there are also ethical issues at the institutional level. Those in many ways are more important because they send a message, I think, to the individuals, to their own employees."
Harnett did not respond to emailed questions or a call to a cell phone number left on an old resume. According to The Guardian, one of the workers Harnett interviewed recalled:
"She said she was a storyteller from the heart."
Since it made her Twitter profile, perhaps Hartnett believes that. Frankly, I hope she'll be able to rebound, even if this was – some bloggers, naturally, have doubts – her own idea. We need to punish individual wrongdoing, but the example of Harnett is less important than the example set by her employer.
To me, failing to fully undo whatever a lie gained you or your client – however small its real or perceived value – is the more troubling matter to businesses that truly value ethical conduct.

I hadn't even thought about what happens to all the data the woman gained in this debacle. Very good points indeed. I hope the union also realizes this so Wal-Mart does not uses the deceptive and ill-gotten information against it.
I agree with @Anthony_Rodriguez — I never even thought about what might happen to what she collected while "undercover." That's the heart of the ethical matter.
Hmm, quite the sticky wicket indeed. Ostensibly, Mercury would "own" the information, yes?
@jasonkonopinski Presumably, Jason. I hoped to ask them whether they had shared this with their client. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks, John-Henry, for adding your perspective to this issue. It's very complementary to what I wrote earlier in the week. And you bring up an excellent point about institutional ethics and what they should (or shouldn't) do with the information this young lady obtained. Of course, this is assuming they have ethics, which would surprise me if they do, just based on my opinion that she was asked to do this and didn't do it on her own accord.
@DebraCaplick I think it's more than that. I read another Gawker article this morning in which a former employee for a Wal-Mart PR firm said she was told to do these types of things. My bet is this young lady was instructed to do it and, when she got caught by the union, they fired here…with some sort of comp package to keep her mouth shut.
@ginidietrich You're probably right – but when agencies base their business model on such young, green professionals, how can we expect them to stand up to the unethical behavior of more senior people? This whole situation just leaves me with many more questions than answers.
@DebraCaplick @ginidietrich With that additional Gawker tidbit, it sounds like she wasn't given the option of whether or not to accept her mission and was just disavowed when she was caught.
And Debra makes an excellent point. What kid just out of school is going toe-to-toe with well-established senior executives by calling them out for unethical tactics? Might be a few, but I'd be willing to bet they'll be looking for new work shortly after. If a company uses unethical practices in the first place, why would they think twice about sacking the "new kid"?
@John Barnett @DebraCaplick I know I wouldn't have gone toe to toe if I'd been ask to do that right out of college. But I certainly would have started looking for a new job.

Catheters are used when you need medical treatment over a long period of time. For example, you may need:
- Antibiotics or other medicines for weeks to months
- Extra nutrition because your bowels are not working correctly
Or you may be receiving:
- Kidney dialysis several times a week
- Cancer drugs often
Your doctor will talk with you about other methods for receiving medicine and fluids into a vein and will help you decide which one is best for you.
A central venous catheter is a tube that goes into a vein in your chest and ends at your heart.
Sometimes this type of catheter is attached to a device called a port that will be under your skin. The port and catheter are put in place in a minor surgery.
The catheter helps carry nutrients and medicine into your body. It will also be used to take blood when you need to have blood tests. Having a port attached to your catheter will cause less wear and tear on your veins than just having the catheter.
Placing the port
A port is placed under your skin in a minor surgery. Most ports are placed in the chest. But they may also be placed in the arm.
- You may be placed into a deep sleep so you do not feel pain during surgery.
- You may stay awake and receive medicines to help you relax and numb the area so you do not feel pain.
You can go home after your port is placed.
- You will be able to feel and see a quarter-sized bump under your skin where your port is.
- You may be a little sore for a few days after surgery.
- Once you have healed, your port should not hurt.
Taking care of and using your port
Your port has 3 parts.
- Portal or reservoir -- a pouch made of hard metal or plastic
- Rubber top -- where a needle is inserted into the portal
- Tube or catheter -- carries medicine or blood from the portal to a large vein and into the heart
To get medicine or nutrition through your port, a trained nurse or doctor will stick a special needle through your skin and the rubber top and into the portal. A numbing cream can be used on your skin to decrease the pain of the needle stick.
- Your port may be used in your home, in a clinic, or in the hospital.
- A sterile dressing (bandage) will be placed around your port when it is used to help prevent infection.
When your port is not being used, you can bathe or swim, as long as your doctor says you are ready for activity. Check with your doctor if you plan to do any contact sports, such as soccer and football.
Nothing will stick out of your skin when your port is not being used. This decreases your chance of infection.
About once a month, you will need to have your port flushed to help prevent clots. To do this, your doctor will use a special solution.
Ports can be used for a long time. When you no longer need your port, your doctor will remove it.
When to call the doctor
Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you notice any signs of infection, such as:
- Your port seems to have moved.
- Your port site is red, or there are red streaks around the site.
- Your port site is swollen or warm.
- Yellow or green drainage is coming from your port site.
- You have pain or discomfort at the site.
- You have a fever over 100.5 oF (38.0 oC).

Explosions reported by Channel 7. Gunfire in Watertown, near Boston. Now saying hand grenades involved.
they had armor nd grenades . 2nd suspect took off in vehicle. Sjots fired grenades thrown I AM NOT SURE IF these are related to marathon
MIT Officer died.
This is what happens when you let your enemies into the country. Now that the people who want to kill us are here living amongst us we get to experience what it must be like to live in Israel.
Watertown carjacking related to MIT shootings. Highspeed chase underway.
"Officers were told over the radio to turn off their cellphones for fear of detonating explosive devices."
Any Sophomore at MIT pursuing an engineering degree has had enough classes in circuits, physics and lumped parameters systems to build that, this has been true for decades => the difference is the students.
Looks like they had to call in the 2nd wave, since they weren't able to evicerate the 2nd amendment the other day.

Last month, hundreds of people showed up at Caltech to view the "ring" solar eclipse. On Tuesday afternoon, they came to view a small black dot.
The Transit of Venus, seen only once or twice a century, was last visible on the West Coast in 2004. The next time Venus will pass between Earth and the sun — 2117 — most of the people on Earth today won't be alive to see it.
The rarity of the astronomical event drew out a large crowd on the lawn behind Caltech's Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics.
Scotland Stephenson, a 33-year-old Burbank resident, walked with a few co-workers to the university from Chegg in Pasadena's South Lake district.
"We're all kind of science and physics nerds," he said. "And apparently I won't get the chance to see it again."
They tried to use a pinhole camera box recycled from the solar eclipse, but the image of the sun was too small to see the dot and they used special glasses to look at the sun instead.
Venus appeared as a small hole punch in the sun shortly after 3 p.m. Ryan Trainor, a Caltech grad student in astrophysics, said the event tells scientists a lot about Venus.
"By looking at the sun, you can see the light coming through the outer layer of Venus' atmosphere and that tells us what kind of chemicals make up Venus' atmosphere," he said.
Scientists are also using this technique to find habitable planets.
"This is the same technique we use to find other planets like Earth in the galaxy," he said. "Just by looking for the shadow of something passing in front of their star."
Mike McCarthy said he learned about the Transit of Venus from an astronomy class in school and has been waiting to see it in person.
"It kind of makes you realize how insignificant our planet really is," said the 55-year-old Glendora resident after viewing the image in a telescope. "It's humbling."
The Transit of Venus is viewable until about 8 p.m. Watchers are urged to not look directly into the sun without the aid of a welder's glass, solar glasses or telescope. Caltech has a telescope open to people who did not make a reservation as well as solar glasses.
More information can be found on the Caltech Astronomy website.

'Belle of Amherst' best when profiling Dickinson's poetry
Walt Whitman may have rightly claimed that his poetry contains multitudes, but Emily Dickinson can stake an equally valid claim to being America's greatest poet.
She is also the hardest one to know. Harold Bloom once wrote that no poet "seems so separate from us as Dickinson," adding that "we have no accurate approaches to her." »Read Full Article

What is Fair Trade Music?
- Those of us who support Fair Trade Music (FTM) believe all who inhabit the music landscape – from creators to consumers, and all those in between – must adopt simple, ethical practices that ensure all parties in the music value chain, including songwriters, composers and artists are fairly compensated for the use of their work.
- Given the inability of copyright legislation and regulation to keep up with rapid change in the digital era, music creators must also adopt non-governmental approaches in pursuit of a sustainable environment and fair remuneration for the use of their work.
- Currently, over 25,000 music creators from Europe, Africa, Latin, and South America, and North America have endorsed the Fair Trade Music initiative that is inspired by the Fair Trade Coffee movement.
- The success of the "Fair Trade Coffee" movement has demonstrated consumers' willingness to make ethical choices when given a simple, understandable option to do so. In the case of coffee, this choice takes place at the point of purchase. Each consumer can choose to be the last link in a "virtuous" value chain by picking a coffee clearly marked "Fair Trade", or choose a similar product that is not certified "Fair Trade", and thereby become the final link in an exploitive value chain that largely excludes farmers in favour of distributors.
- Fair Trade Music would give consumers the clear choice to be the last link in a "virtuous" music value chain by clearly indicating which digital streaming and other music services operate in a fair, transparent and ethical way.
- A Fair Trade Music certification body is envisioned that would determine who qualifies as FTM compliant.

In particular religions
Khuda or Khoda (Persian: خدا, Kurdish: Xweda, Xuda) is the Persian word for "Lord" or "God". Originally, it was used in reference to Ahura Mazda (the god of Zoroastrianism).
The term derives from Middle Iranian terms xvatay, xwadag meaning "lord", "ruler", "master", appearing in written form in Parthian kwdy, in Middle Persian kwdy, and in Sogdian kwdy. In Kurdish the word khu or xwe means myself and xweda or khuda means "created himself", which is also a name of god (Yazad) in Zoroastrianism. Yazad is derived from Ez, Yez which means "me" and ad or da meaning "create", as both words are common in Kurdish dialects and other Northwest Iranian languages including Parthian languages. It is the Middle Persian reflex of older Iranian forms such as Avestan xva-dhata- "self-defined; autocrat", an epithet of Ahura Mazda. The Pashto term Xwdāi (خدای) is an Eastern Iranian cognate.
Prosaic usage is found for example in the Sassanid title katak-xvatay to denote the head of a clan or extended household or in the title of the 6th century Khwaday-Namag "Book of Lords", from which the tales of Kayanian dynasty as found in the Shahnameh derive.
Semi-religious usage appears, for example, in the epithet zaman-i derang xvatay "time of the long dominion", as found in the Menog-i Khrad. The fourth and eighty-sixth entry of the Pazend prayer titled 101 Names of God, Harvesp-Khoda "Lord of All" and Khudawand "Lord of the Universe", respectively, are compounds involving Khuda.[1] Application of khuda as "the Lord" (Ahura Mazda) is represented in the first entry in the medieval Frahang-i Pahlavig.
Islamic usage[edit]
In Islamic times, the term came to be used for God in Islam, paralleling the Arabic name of God Al-Malik "Owner, King, Lord, Master".
The phrase Khuda Hafiz (meaning May God be your Guardian) is a parting phrase commonly used in Persian, Kurdish and Pashto, as well as in Urdu among South Asian Muslims.
It also exists as a loanword, used for God by Muslims in Bengali, Urdu, although the Arabic word Allah is becoming more common.[2]

Taking pictures for me is like breathing.
And the most important thing to me is family.
For years now I have been calling the people that I capture with my camera the barebonefamily.
Second only to my own family, is the barebonefamily.
For most of them I have been there since the beginning, engagement/wedding/belly/baby/family/baby/family/baby
It is my goal to have you keep coming back…..time and time again.
Not only becasue you love the pictures but becasue you love the experience!
We shoot 90% of our sessions at the barebonestudio. It is 25 acres of Puslinch countryside.
There are so many nooks and crannies to be photographed there is always something new.
Things you may not know about me:
I am a lover of cheese, good books and recently authored a book myself.
The Barefoot Medium : letting spirit in one step at a time. It became a best seller on launch day. That is right….I'm a photographer, a mother to a 5 year old super hero, a wife, a puppy lover and a medium. Check out my other super power here.

Lol @ You not ordering it. Please son, you'll pay your $55 and be on the edge of your seat just like the other wimps in your "sex icon" worshiping cult. You'll be like those gay Filipinos in that one video just praying to "gud" that the little bum Ortiz walks out on top.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German drugmaker Bayer said on Wednesday it initiated a Phase III trial of its potential blockbuster drug regorafenib in patients with advanced liver cancer.
The drug, also known as Stivarga, will be tested in the third and last phase of trials required for marketing approval on patients with inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that has worsened despite prior treatment with Bayer's Nexavar drug.
Thought would explain drop along with possibility of double top, however, regorafenib is to be given in sequence at least for now.

The Washington Cannabis Summit is a visionary event; crafted with the goal of positioning WA State as a powerful thought leader in the industry. It is designed to challenge the current state of affairs with Cannabis legislation, research and education. It will push the envelope of the conversation past the current problems we face, into a realm where we openly discuss opportunities for the future of the industry. As leaders we not only have the opportunity, but the responsibility, to craft a better future. This starts with intelligent dialogue about where we are, where we've been, where we want to go and how we intend to get there.
With more and more states choosing to legalize, it's important to have foresight, to look at long-term strategies in order to position Washington as a competitive and socially responsible contributor. We have the ability to make our system better. This can only be accomplished by coming together, being visionary and by working with each other to create sustainable and successful industries.
Our vision is that the speakers, along with the discussions one will experience at the Summit, will both inspire and better connect you with professionals, public servants, academics and citizens who share a commitment to improving the burgeoning cannabis industry.
The audience of the summit will include legislators, policy makers, government employees, business owners, and advocates. Anyone who sees themselves as a leader in this new industry.
Hezekiah Allen was born and raised in Humboldt County. He studied Politics and Government at Pacific University. After university he returned to the North Coast to work as a consultant helping local residents increase water storage, implement conservation irrigation practices, and assisting local organizations with fundraising and strategic planning. In 2010 he was hired as the Executive Director of the Mattole Restoration Council. While with the MRC Allen was one of the first community leaders to call attention to the increasingly severe environmental impacts associated with illegal and unregulated marijuana cultivation.
In 2013 he stepped down as ED of the MRC to work as a public affairs consultant. In this capacity one of his main areas of focus has been advancing regulation to help stem the tide of environmental and violent crimes associated with cultivation. He has presented at dozens of best management workshops, helped to author the widely distributed Best Management Practices guide, and has done on-site consultation with dozens of farmers throughout the region and the state.
All his life he has been a fierce guardian of and advocate for the heritage of small scale farms and sustainable cannabis cultivation in CA. He has a deep understanding of the impacts prohibition has had on families, communities, and patients throughout the state. It is Allen's underlying belief that–just as cannabis can heal people–the cannabis advocacy community can heal politics through a collaborative and inclusive approach, cannabis businesses can heal our economy through decentralization and opportunity for all, and cannabis farms can heal the natural treasures of the state by integrating best management practices and a stewardship ethic on to the farm.
In June 2014 Hezekiah relocated to Sacramento after he accepted a contract to work as the Executive Director of the Emerald Growers Association, a trade association focused on promoting public policies that will foster a sustainable, healthy and legal cannabis industry.
Welcome to dope year zero.
Welcome to the era of legal pot shops, cannabis farmers, and brand-name marijuana. Welcome to the interregnum between criminal and customer. Welcome to a world where potency is calibrated in percentages and milligrams which are measurements sort of like alcohol proof but really in so many ways not. Welcome to the end of stoner culture with its glorious tie-dyed shagginess and half-clever puns and propensity to turn any word, really any word at all, into a slang expression denoting cannabis or the ingestion of same. Welcome to the telltale odor of the skunk of the botanical world. Welcome to government pot inspectors and gainfully employed budtenders with health insurance and 401(k)s. Welcome to professional marijuana critics and cannabis connoisseurs who lord it over the rest of us with their insufferable haute-pot snobbishness. Welcome to ornery old men who were once outlaw pot growers but are now just cranky farmers. Welcome to marijuana millionaires, may they spend their winnings wisely and not squander them on jade-inlaid leaf-shaped swimming pools, although that would be kind of cool to see. Welcome to the beginning of the end of Mexican drug cartels, the War on Drugs, mandatory minimum sentences, and ten years in prison for a single joint. Welcome to the moment a political movement gives birth to an economic awakening. Welcome to unintended consequences and unforeseen problems and maybe, just maybe, welcome to common sense and sanity.
Welcome to the future.
Bruce Barcott is a Guggenheim Fellow and author of Weed the People: The Future of Legal Marijuana in America. A nationally recognized journalist, Barcott lives within the experiment of marijuana legalization in his home state of Washington. His provocative thoughts, ideas, and observations on prohibition's end–the good and the bad–have made him one of the nation's most sought-after writers and speakers on this dramatic turn in American history. In his writing and public events, Barcott questions and considers the moral, legal, ethical, political and financial implications of legalization. "This is one of the most exciting about-faces in recent American history," he says, "and it has profound lessons to teach us about taboos, assumptions, evidence, prejudice, mistakes, and the factors that lead people to change their minds." Barcott has been quoted in newspapers around the nation and has appeared on MSNBC's "The Docket" and "The Cycle," National Public Radio's "Weekend Edition," KING-TV's "Evening Magazine," WJLA (Washington DC) "NewsTalk," KGO and KCBS radio in San Francisco, KPBS' "MidDay" in San Diego, KUOW's "Weekday" in Seattle, and many other media outlets.
Barcott's previous award-winning books include The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw and The Measure of a Mountain: Beauty and Terror on Mt. Rainier. His cover stories and feature articles appear regularly in The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, Outside, and other national publications. As a science writer for more than twenty years, Barcott has covered topics ranging from global warming to risk calculus to the science of camouflage. He led National Geographic's coverage of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and accompanied James Cameron's 2012 expedition to dive the deepest spot in the ocean, the Mariana Trench in the South Pacific. He lives on Bainbridge Island, across the water from Seattle, with his wife, the memoirist Claire Dederer, and their two children.

North Bonneville
Don Stevens is the mayor of North Bonneville, Washington, a small city with approximately 1,000 residents located about 45 minutes east of Vancouver along the Columbia River. He's been a cannabis advocate since his high school days in Oakridge, Oregon, specifically since 1973 when Oregon decriminalized cannabis possession and use. With the passage of I-502 in 2012, North Bonneville's City Council began studying the potential effects on their community and arrived at the conclusion the city would be best served through the creation of a Public Development Authority (PDA) to apply for 1 of the 2 recreational cannabis store licenses authorized by the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board for Skamania County. Their belief was this option would give them oversight of the store and ensure its compliance with both the letter and spirit of I-502. They also felt the PDA route would provide the potential for increased revenue for the city with the PDA acting as a granting authority should their revenues exceed expenses.

Now, however, she has been acclaimed a heroine of the women's movement—a cause with little else to cheer about lately. Sonia, 44, became aware of the ERA only two years ago when she returned from overseas where she had been raising four children and following her statistician husband from one job to another. Today she says, "I'm one of the few people in this world who can do anything I choose. I can't tell you how good I'm feeling." Released from marital and religious constraints, she threw herself into the ERA struggle. Mormons for ERA, a group that Sonia helped found and still heads, has grown to 1,200 members. In July her speech on women's rights brought the Democratic Convention to its feet chanting "E-R-A, E-R-A." She even received a $3,000 Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award from Playboy for "individual conscience." The check went straight to the National Organization for Women.
Sonia, a fifth-generation Mormon, appealed her excommunication twice this year; both efforts failed. One of her three brothers is so upset he won't talk to her. Nonetheless, Sonia reports, "I still feel Mormon. Those men in Salt Lake City can't decide who's Mormon and who isn't." The lay bishop who excommunicated Johnson, a CIA personnel officer named Jeffery Willis, says he hopes Sonia "will put her life in order" and return to the church.
Sonia believes excommunication did not cause her divorce. "The mid-life crisis," she says ruefully, "hits men harder than women." Her 46-year-old ex-husband, a Mormon convert, has moved to Oregon. Meanwhile Sonia has limited her social life: "I don't have much room in my mind or heart for it."
The divorce gave her the 11-room house in Sterling Park, Va., a Washington suburb, but no alimony or child support. Three of her children, aged 6 to 15, live with her. The fourth, 17, lives in Utah. Sonia commands up to $1,000 per appearance on the lecture circuit (she charges less for pro-ERA functions). A former English instructor with a Ph.D., she is writing a book about her troubles, and Norman Lear may do a movie.
The response to her Democratic Convention speech was so enthusiastic she says, "If I had died then I would have died happy." A month later she led a protest outside Republican headquarters in Washington. "Somehow they had the political acumen not to have us arrested," she complains.
Not so when Sonia and 20 other ERA supporters chained themselves to the gate of a new Mormon temple in Bellevue, Wash, last month. Sonia spent seven hours in jail, paid a $100 fine and boasts, "It was a grand day in my life. Women have to risk civil disobedience for their rights." She is considering a protest at Ronald Reagan's inaugural because of GOP opposition to the ERA.
Johnson may be proudest of what happened at a recent Mormon convention in Salt Lake City when three women opposed a motion affirming the church president as a "prophet of God." "The brethren didn't throw them out or even hint at excommunication," she says. "I guess they didn't want another Sonia Johnson episode."
