Attorney General
NORML's Legislative Round Up February 26th, 2016February 26, 2016
The Vermont Senate approved legalization legislation this week! We also have several additional international updates from around the globe.
Australia: Members of Australia's House and Senate approved legislation this week to amend federal law to permit for the licensed production and distribution of cannabis to qualified patients. The move by Parliament follows recent efforts by several Australian territories to provide patients participating in clinical trials with access to the plant. Government officials will still need to develop and approve regulations for the new program before any production licenses can be issued.
Canada: A federal court in Canada ruled this week that government officials cannot prohibit physician-authorized patients from growing their own supply of medical cannabis. The decision strikes down regulations enacted in 2013 that sought to take away patients' longstanding authority to grow personal use quantities of cannabis.
The judge's ruling provides Parliament with six months to create new rules governing the regulation and distribution of medical cannabis in a manner that no longer requires patients to obtain medicine solely from federally-licensed, private third party providers. NORML Canada 's John Conroy served as lead counsel for the plaintiffs in the case, while NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano served as an expert witness and filed an affidavit in the case.
In an interview from last year but only recently made public, former US Attorney General Eric Holder acknowledged that marijuana should "certainly be rescheduled". He said, "You know, we treat marijuana in the same way that we treat heroin now, and that clearly is not appropriate. So at a minimum, I think Congress needs to do that. Then I think we need to look at what happens in Colorado and what happens in Washington."
While NORML agrees that marijuana's current classification in the Controlled Substances Act is inappropriate, NORML believes in descheduling cannabis, not rescheduling the plant. In an article published this week on Alternet, NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano outlines why rescheduling cannabis does not go far enough and advocates for why it should be removed from the CSA altogether.
Georgia: Legislation has been introduced, House Bill 1046, to amend state law so that minor marijuana offenders no longer face jail time. If approved, the legislation would make the first time possession of up to one ounce of marijuana punishable by a $250 fine. Subsequent offenses would result in a $500 fine for the second offense and $750 fine for the third offense. #TakeAction
Hawaii: Pending legislation, Senate Bill 2787, to further encourage the state Department of Agriculture to license farmers to grow industrial hemp for "research and development purposes" was approved by the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Labor this week. The committee approved an amended version of the legislation in a 4-0 vote. #TakeAction
Pennsylvania: Members of the Harrisburg City Council have scheduled two separate public meetings to discuss a proposal to redefine municipal marijuana possession offenses from a misdemeanor to a citation. The meetings will be Thursday March 10 at the Harrisburg Area Community College midtown campus, Midtown 2, Room 206, at 1500 North Third Street and Thursday March 24 at the city's public works building at 1820 Paxton Street. Both meetings will start at 5:30 p.m.
Michigan: Newly introduced Senate legislation, SB 813, seeks to permit for the personal possession, cultivation, and retail sale of marijuana. Under the measure, adults would be permitted to possess and grow personal use quantities of the plant, and a system would be established for the retail production and sale of cannabis. Similar legislation introduced in the fall of 2015, HB 4877, remains pending in the Judiciary Committee. #TakeAction
Vermont: Members of the Senate voted 17 to 12 on Thursday in favor of legislation, Senate Bill 241, to regulate the adult use, production, and sale of cannabis. The historic vote marks the first time that any legislative chamber in the state has ever approved legislation to permit the adult use and retail sale of cannabis.
The Senate's action was praised by Gov. Shumlin, who is backing the measure. The measure now will be debated by members of the Vermont House. #TakeAction
West Virginia: House Bill 4712 was introduced this week to depenalize marijuana possession offenses. The legislation removes marijuana from West Virginia's list of schedule I drugs and removes all state criminal and civil penalties associated with the substance. Additionally, the proposal allows adults 21 and older to cultivate up to six cannabis plants, and to transfer up to one ounce of cannabis to another person age 21 or older without remuneration. #TakeAction
In addition, senate legislation is pending to permit qualified patients access to medical cannabis. Senate Bill 640 permits qualified patients to engage in marijuana therapy and to cultivate (up to 12 mature plants) and to possess (up to six ounces) personal use amounts of cannabis. The measure also seeks to establish a permitting process for "registered compassion centers", which will be licensed to produce and dispense medicinal cannabis to qualified patients. The bill is before the Senate Health and Human Resources Committee. You can read the full text of this measure here. Companion legislation, House Bill 4680, has also been filed in the House of Representatives. #TakeAction
Attorney General: Drug Sentences Need Reform, Too Many In PrisonAugust 9, 2013
In an interview earlier this week with National Public Radio, US Attorney General Eric Holder publicly acknowledged the obvious:
-There are too many citizens in prison on low level drug charges
-The mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines employed by the federal government should be reformed
-The inherent outcome of the federal criminal justice system affirms serious racial disparities exist
Holder: "The war on drugs is now 30, 40 years old. There have been a lot of unintended consequences. There's been a decimation of certain communities, in particular communities of color."
"[W]e can certainly change our enforcement priorities, and so we have some control in that way," Holder said. "How we deploy our agents, what we tell our prosecutors to charge, but I think this would be best done if the executive branch and the legislative branch work together to look at this whole issue and come up with changes that are acceptable to both."
Listen to interview here.
The Drug Policy Alliance has multiple suggestions on how President Obama and Attorney General Holder 'can go big' in their last three years in office to substantively reform the failed war on some drugs.
Congressman Polis' Grills Attorney General Holder About Fed's Medical Marijuana PoliciesDecember 8, 2011
Update: Huffington Post article and C-Span video.
I've spoken to two reporters today inquiring about Colorado Congressman Jared Polis' medical cannabis-related questions to Attorney General Holder at a congressional committee hearing that was otherwise a 'bloodbath' for Holder—getting grilled about the guns and Mexico fiasco—when Polis, who is not a member of the Judiciary Committee, was allowed to ask Holder two questions about medical cannabis enforcement.
Generally written…
Polis first wanted assurances that Colorado's medical cannabis dispensaries/cultivation centers compliant with state laws—unlike California's medical cannabis businesses that are not regulated by the state—are not a Department of Justice (DOJ) target. Holder affirmed the basic tenets of the previous Ogden and Cole memos, and wouldn't provide assurances, but, re-iterated the DOJ stance that enforcing medical cannabis laws, notably in a state like Colorado with its rules and regulations, and with limited federal resources at hand, is a low law DOJ enforcement priority.
The second Polis question was about banking and medical cannabis businesses in Colorado, where he pushed Holder to acknowledge that the DOJ is not placing a priority on interfering with state compliant medical cannabis businesses and banking concerns.
I assume there will be news and industry coverage later today and tomorrow about this unexpected, but informative exchange between Representative Polis and Attorney General Holder.
Now For Some Good News: "Harris Holds Big Lead Over Cooley In Undecided California Attorney General Race"November 23, 2010
Officially, the California race between Steve Cooley and Kamala Harris for Attorney General remains 'undecided.' But the totals from the latest vote count appear to tell a different story.
Harris holds big lead over Cooley in undecided California attorney general race
via Southern California Public Radio
Kamala Harris picked up more than 9,000 votes yesterday in the still-undecided race for California attorney general. The San Francisco district attorney now leads L.A. County's DA, Steve Cooley, by nearly 52,000 votes.
About eight-and-and-a-half million ballots have been counted; there's a stack of 500,000 still to go.
Some political observers, like L.A. City Councilman Eric Garcetti, said last week that back-of-the-envelope calculations don't give Cooley much hope of winning.
… We'll know for sure when the secretary of state ratifies the results December 10.
As I've written previously, the California Attorney General's race has significant implications for the distribution of medical cannabis in California, as Cooley had pledged to prosecute dispensaries that engage in over-the-counter cash sales of marijuana to authorized patients.
Present Attorney General guidelines, issued under former A.G. (now Governor-elect) Jerry Brown in 2008, authorize the distribution and non-profit sales of medical cannabis in California by qualified "collectives and cooperatives," but warn that 'storefront' business that engage in the for-profit sales of medical marijuana "are likely operating outside the protections" of state law. Cooley has long maintained that California dispensaries that engage in over-the-counter sales to customers do not meet a legal definition of 'collectives' or 'not-for-profit' entities.
By contrast, San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris has previously voiced strong support for protecting the legal rights of patients who use cannabis medicinally, stating, "We will not prosecute people who use or sell marijuana for medicinal purposes."
Kamala Harris pulls ahead of Steve Cooley for California Attorney GeneralNovember 15, 2010
[UPDATED Monday] There is still hope for California's medical marijuana dispensaries! As of Monday morning, the California Secretary of State shows that SF DA Kamala Harris has pulled ahead of LA DA Steve Cooley by 15,199 votes to be the next Attorney General:
Harris: 4,100,656 45.9%
Cooley: 4,085,457 45.7%
As Paul Armentano explained last Monday:
The race for California Attorney General has significant implications for the distribution of medical cannabis in California, as Cooley has previously pledged to prosecute dispensaries that engage in over-the-counter cash sales of marijuana to authorized patients. In October, while serving as Los Angeles District Attorney, Cooley declared that state law bars sales of medical marijuana, and opined: "The vast, vast, vast majority, about 100%, of dispensaries in Los Angeles County and the city are operating illegally, they are dealing marijuana illegally. … The time is right to deal with this problem."
By contrast, San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris has previously voiced strong support for protecting the legal rights of patients who use cannabis medicinally.

On Accepting Your Children For Who They Are
By Guest Author
I have never had any issues with the dentist! Teaching your kids at a young age that dentists aren't the bad guys is key!
My son doesnt have any problems visiting the dentist 🙂
With three children and two stepchildren I have come across many dental challenges over the years. At our home the tooth fairy delivers $5 for every healthy tooth. This means no cavities to get rewarded by our fairy friend. This has helped encourage even the youngest of our brood to keep a healthy dental smile. A few more dollars perhaps than the norm from the tooth fairy keeps done the dental office bill.
I bought a child's dental play kit at the dollar store.
I pretended to be the dentist and did everything that a dentist does to my daughter's teeth and I then I let her pretend to be a dentist and check my teeth.
When it's time for her to go to the dentist I pull out the dental play kit and she is happy to go to the dentist because she knows what to expect.
jen s.
we go to a very kind, friendly and patient dentist with wonderful staff. we emphasize that if you take care fo your teeth and visit the dentist each year, then you won't have to make extra trips to the dentist to take care of the 'bad things' that can happen to your teeth if don't make the regular visit. having a tv screen above the dental chair is also a big help! plus, the fact that i love going to the dentist and having my own teeth cleaned is huge reinforcement.
I go to the dentist with my children to make them more comfortable
Checking with friends for recommendations of dentists who have the touch with kids is the first step. Our dentist has a huge stuffed yellow chicken and on the first visit, each child has his/her picture taken with the chicken. Pictures are then put up on the wall. Children are relaxed and having fun in an atmosphere where they aren't afraid.
When my children were little we made a "dentist" costume (paper hat, mask, and a white cloth coat) and tools(cardboard and foil) so that they could be the dentist. We talked about what dentists do and then we played dentist with all of the dolls and stuffed animals. We talked about what good patients do and by having the dolls and stuffed animals be good patients they found it fun. Consequently, when we went for a first checkup we had no problems. Both of my children had their first visit at the age of 3. They've been great with visits ever since(and not one cavity between them!)
I think the choice of dentist is paramount. Some dentists are just more personable and can relate to kids better than others.
I always took my children with me for my appointment at the dentists when they were small. For most that helped, however one of them refused to open his mouth for the dentist when it was his turn (about 5 years old) and I knew he had one or two cavities. The new dentist was very patient and I spent weeks taking my son back & forth to see him – in the end we gave up and the poor lad had to have a full anaesthetic in order to get his teeth seen to. Thankfully his teeth are no longer a problem.
I never really had a problem, probably due to the fact that our family dentist is a father, and he is a soft spoken gentle man. The kids love him, so they go without any fear at all.
My kids are pretty good about going to the dentist. They actually do better than me! lol. When they were younger and a little more apprehensive I would give them lots of praise about how well they did during the visits. During the visit itself, I would try and interact with them as much as possible, looking at wall posters, tools, etc to get their mind off of stuff.
My kids just came and the hygenists/technicians did a wonderful job showing them things and there didn't seem to be an issue when the dentist came in to look in their mouths.
My daughter is 6 years old and has been going to see her dentist and hygienist since she was a toddler. She actually looks forward to see them twice a year. Getting a princess toothbrush, princess flosser, her own toothpaste and choosing a small toy make the experience even more fun. I also book my appointment at the same time as hers. She also gets to watch kids' shows on TV while they work on her teeth.
I have a great dentist but won't be including our baby in the visits until his teeth start to appear…he's nearing 3 months and from what I've heard from other moms it can start anytime now…give me strength!
I believe having a good pediatric dentist is key. They specialize in kids, know how to explain things to their age level, and have all the tricks for making the appointment go smoothly. Having a toddler come to older siblings appointments can be helpful and take away the fear of the unknown. It helps them become familiar with the staff and environment and understand the routine. Giving advance warning of the upcoming appointment can be helpful to older kids but be careful with younger ones as they have wild imaginations at that age, and they can become anxious and fearful of what they believe will occur.
I use a dentist that works with children and families
The best way to teach kids not to fear the dentist is to make them visit frequently. Once they got use to the routine, they'd realize that there's really nothing to be afraid of at all.
Our dentist used many of the same techniques that people have already mentioned, like counting teeth, TVs to watch, a children's drawing and play area, and having her pick a treat or sticker at the end of the visit. In addition, he would show my daughter what he planned to do on her fingernail – spraying water, the polisher, even the drill as I remember. Her cavities were very small and he avoided needles and anaesthetic for years, relieving that source of anxiety. He told her that if she ever felt uncomfortable, to raise her hand and he'd stop and take a break (and he was true to his word). It also may have helped that our dentist is the dad of one of her schoolmates!
I think that finding a child-centered dentist's office is very important. A caring dental support staff can make all the difference. We try to make the dentists trip a fun event including a healthy lunch and a small toy.

A dentist that is great with children is a must have. If I don't feel comfortable with the dentist I know my children won't either. We found a awesome family dentist who took us on a tour of his office and explained his tools before my children had their first appointment. It worked great with helping overcome their fear!!
Not sure what to say. Our case is a bit unique. His dentist is also his Grand-dad 🙂
Starting out young is a plus if your children are still small and I can't say enough for choosing a pediatric dentist. Yes it's more out of pocket up front but the money you will save on being preventative will be astronomical in comparison.

My best tip is to start them early. I took my daughter to her first appointment at 14 months with a pediatric dentist that is geared towards treating children. The atmosphere in office already puts the children at ease and makes it a "fun" experience. Our dentist insists that we never associate the dentist with any "bad" words, we never say "this may hurt" "needle" "don't be surprised" etc.
I've found starting her young has really helped the transition, she builds a relationship with her dentist as we do and learns to trust that they will always tell her what they are going to do and that they are trying to keep her "teefies" nice and strong.
I tell my children about the appointment well in advance so it is not a surprise to them
My son has always loved the dentist, the key is taking them when they are old enough to understand that the dentist is not hurting them but helping them keep their teeth nice and shiny and healthy. If you take them when they are too young to understand they get scared of the dentist. Also, always get the dentist and hygentist to explain to your child very simply what they are doing.
We have played meet the dentist games, but I find the best method is to find a very relaxed dental clinic that truly enjoys children. We are lucky in that regard and have had no problems.
Find a dentist with a good sense of humour and who understands kids' fears of the "big chair" and all those weird noises/smells. Of course it doesn't hurt when your child receives a nice goody bag with a cool toothbrush and their choice of a toy from the treasure chest!
I try to be positive about the whole dentist going experience and never say anything negative about the dentist in front of my kids, I try to reassure them that everything will be allright and it seems to work so far.
I took my daughter to the dentist at the same time I went. A child-friendly office is really important.
About the only tip I have is to lead my example and make regular appointments with the dentist as well. Teeth are a big issue for our family; both our boys are on a waiting list for dental surgery and our oldest has already dealt with an abscessed tooth. Needless to say, his first experience (an unnecessary pulpectomy of the infected tooth) was NOT a good one. Fortunately, the children's dentist we FINALLY got in to see is amazing and if the boys can just hold out a few more months, their mouths will be completely fixed.
So I guess that would be another one of my tips. Take your child to see an actual children's dentist, not just a family dentist that takes children. It makes a world of difference in the child's attitude.
My kids have had relatively good teeth health so trips to the dentist do not cause anxiety. When 2 of them have had to have cavities filled the dentist has such a great demeanor and touch that they didn't complain at all. Lucky I guess
I think you have to be careful about how you talk about the dentist and if you do not like to go yourself and your children know, they will not want to go either. Choosing the right dentist is also important. Meet with your child and the dentist and see what their rapport is. Don't just abandon your child to the dentist on their own. If they see that you like the dentist and have a good rapport so will they!
My little boy is 2 and it is time for his first visit to the dentist so this post was very timely for us. I am going to look for a pediatric dentist and may try 'playing dentist' with him beforehand. I really hope it goes well!
I think a CHILD friendly dentist and hygentist are the keys to making trips less scarey! If you have a non approachable dental team, or ones that are rough on the mouth, kids aren't going to want to go back!
I always tried to explain everything the dentist was going to do before they got there. They didn't seem to mind going.
I find that when taking my children to the dentist it helps to make it more of an adventure (a new world if you will). They bring a toy of their own (to have something familiar) but then get to 'explore' the waiting room and look at the models of the teeth that are on display and leaflets. If there are other children there it also gives them an opportunity to meet new people which helps put them at ease. We have a game of looking out the window and guessing where the people on the sidewalk are going. Basically anything to keep them in a more calm state seems to work for us.
Don't have make your children afraid of the Dentist. You need to find someone who is good with children, ask for recommendations from friends. My kids don't mind going to the dentist, she's great with them, and it's not a chore to visit. We make our appointments all at once, so the kids see that even Mom and Dad have to go through it too, and take care of our teeth just as much.
I children actually like going to the dentist because they know they can pick out a little prize at the end of the visit and they get a new toothbrush.
I always book my dentist appointment with my children's. They don't seem to mind going so much if they know that I have to get my teeth looked at too.
I agree having a good dentist is the key to fighting dentistphobia.
The first visit to the dentist is important. We tried to make it a fun experience and the staff at our clinic all work very hard to make it a positive experience. Parents can prepare a child though play activities but the staff is key to a happy first experience.
I've been fortunate with my girls, they never feared going to the dentist, we have a great dentist maybe that's why they were never scared, she is awesome and being able to pick from the fabulous brusher box that was full of children's toys probably helped also 🙂
I try to make sure that my kids brush there teeth 3 times a day, sometimes its really hard because we get home late and they are really sleepy so they dont brush as well so in times like this I have to give them a prize so they brush there teeth properly

A kid friendly dentist is a must, I really like the idea of taking the kids for a tour and a kind of get to know you, before their actual first appointment
We have a wonderful pediatric dentist that my family has been seeing since I was a child. The office is geared to kids with all kinds of toys and video games in the waiting room to put them at ease. A train runs around above the dental chairs to serve as a distraction. The staff are all wonderful. To prepare my very independent 2 1/2 year old girl I have been bringing her to the office when my teenage son goes for his cleanings and check-ups. She is able to experience the office and the routine of the appointment. (counting teeth, flossing, polishing, fluoride). So far she has only had her teeth examined and counted but that went very well… especially for her being so strong willed! She left the office happy and chats about the dentist visit often. Seek out a dentist who specializes in kids and prepare them as appropriate for their age.
My children rarely got cavities, so never really minded going to the dentist. Plus, we picked at dentist that we knew was great with kids.
We started out by making a game out of playing dentist at home with my kids when they were very little. We would pretend that it was time for our visit to the dentist/hygienist and use the recliner as our dentist's chair so we could lay back and have the "dentist" look in their mouths, use dental floss, and then clean their teeth with their own toothbrushes. Then they could have a treat from the trinket box when they cooperated. The kids also got to be the dentist for their dad and I. It seemed to work for us!
It is amazing the fear that can develop from something one has absolutely no experience with! However, my son knew his dental habits were far from good and his fear of going to have a cleaning or check up was palatable. No work could be done unless they put him under.
A dentist who runs a kid-friendly office is the best preparation. They know how to deal with children and make the trip more enjoyable.
Start them young and don't make it a big deal – just something we do like everyone else. Make it a pleasurable experience followed by a trip to the zoo or park. It always worked for me.
If you have a good dentist, it really shouldn't be a problem. Once we found a dentist who laid down the law, the issues ended immediately.
Our dentist is the key. He is kid-friendly and is so reassuring. Our little guy loves the "rewards" at the end and that is what we focus on.
When my children were young I asked around for recommendations for a good pediatric dentist. I am nervous when I go to the dentist because of many bad experiences I had and I wanted better for my children. I found a wonderful pediatric dentist office where everything was geared for children. All the staff were kind but firm and had a wonderful way with my daughters. During the first few visits they just counted the teeth and kept the visits short and fun. As my daughters got used to going they started polishing their teeth while they were distracted by the TV's tuned to children's programing. I always made appointments for first thing in the morning and I never told them ahead of time when the appointment was so they never had chance to worry. I made all their appointments for the same time so they would take their turn but were allowed to watch each others cleanings being done. They would leave with a goody bag of stickers, a new toothbrush and some flossers and beautiful smiles! The best bit of advice I would give is make your house a "No Pop or Juice" zone with only water and milk for drinks. Instead of fruit juice give your child the piece of fresh fruit. We only served juice and pop at parties where it was a treat.
With my daughter knowing well in advance is the key. No surprises. If I give her time to digest and ask questions she does beter.
My boys have never been uncomfortable going to the dentist! They have each been going for regular check up since they were 2 and they are now 5 & 8! When it was time to see a dentist we picked one who specializes in children. She was really sweet and the boys love her `Scottish`accent! We went for a tour a week before their appoinment and the boys were introduced to the treasure chest! After their check ups they get a goodie bag of dental related items and they get to pick a treasure- they always pick the sugarfree gum that she has (it is the only time I let them have gum). They look forward to seeing her twice a year and so far have always been cavityfree!. She also has the best staff from the receptionist to the hygenists they alwasy know a good kids joke or two!
I have a sensitive child who just had a bad experience with painful fillings. I have talked it through with him and assured him I will communicate with the doctor to make sure his next experience is as painless as possible. I also remind him how strong he is. Bottom line–keep him busy to occupy his mind with positive things and remind him that like all other uncomfortable experiences he will get through it!
I struggle a bit with my two year old, she's starting to make it part of her morning and evening routine, as it's part of ours. The best way we get her excited about it is by having a special toothbrush and two different kinds of toothpaste for her to choose from. Either one she chooses is fine, but she feels like she's "winning".
I totally agree with Kath on everything said in this article. We also use a dentist who is rather laid-back and soft spoken as well and caters to families with children. Also, they have a dental hygienist that deals strictly with children which works wonders. Furthermore, laughing gas is not just a great tool for the kids but for adults as well! 🙂

Senior Dante Razzano's career at Edwardsburg added yet another milestone to it.
Razzano scored 20 points in a 69-38 win over Plainwell Tuesday night, becoming the first player in head coach Steve Wright's tenure to tally 1,000 career points.
"It's well-deserved for a kid who works hard on his game," Wright said. "We're excited for him. He's scored his 1,000th point tonight but we hope there are many more points to come."
Trailing 26-25 at halftime, the Eddies came out firing on all cylinders, outscoring Plainwell 33-7 in the third quarter.
"We came out in second half a lot of energy," Wright said. "We generated a few turnovers and were able to get buckets in transition."
Razzano, at 6-2, 195-pounds, was a three-year starter at quarterback for the Eddies and finished his career with a 30-4 record. Razzano signed a national letter of intent on Feb. 3 to attend Michigan State University as a preferred football walk-on.
Edwardsburg faces South Haven on Friday.

"I was really scared to be in my own house. To be outside," Holley said. "it was just really scary. These things don't happen in Boise. I still go to grief counseling because it's hard to deal with what happened to her. I wish she would have died naturally. The whole thing about not finding a suspect in a year is hard."
At first, it appeared Phyllis Ward had perished in her bedroom when her house caught fire.
But an autopsy revealed the chilling fact she died from multiple blows to the head before fire destroyed her bedroom.
To Jennifer and her two brothers, it seemed incredulous their warm, loving mother could be murdered at home in a nice neighborhood full of good people.
A year later, no arrests have been made.
No detectives were available to be interviewed fro this story, but Boise police spokesman Charles McLure released a statement that says "Boise police continues to pursue leads and evidence, working closely with prosecutors. Justice for Phyllis Ward and the Ward family is a high priority."
We asked Jennifer Holley if she was angry.
"I haven't been angry, but I'm getting more angry as time goes by," she said. "This person is out there and they did this to my family."
(To be clear, Holley's anger is NOT directed at Boise police. She says the detectives are "great and are working every angle.)

MADISON - He was snubbed being named a finalist for the Butkus Award, but senior linebacker Chris Borland won Butkus Award of a different kind Monday.
Following his third straight 100 tackle season, Borland was named the Big Ten's Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year and a first-team all-conference pick, one of 14 players earning honors from the league's coaches and a panel of media voters.
Borland beat out Ohio State's Ryan Shazier (considered the favorite for the award) and Michigan State linebacker Max Bullough (considered the best player on the best defense in the conference).
Borland, finished the regular season in a tie for fifth in the Big Ten, averaging 9.27 tackles per game. His 102 total stops were the fifth-most of any Big Ten player despite the fact that he missed an entire game - and the majority of another - due to injury.
Borland was one of just two unanimous first-team selections by the coaches, along with Michigan State's Darqueze Dennard at defensive back.
With double-digit tackles in each of his last six full games, Borland averaged 11.8 stops and 1.0 TFLs per contest in that span. He finished the regular season with seven games in which he recorded at least 10 tackles.
For his career, Borland ranks sixth all-time at Wisconsin - and second among active FBS players – with 410 total tackles. His 50.0 career tackles for loss rank 10th among active players and fourth in UW history.
On offense, senior WR Jared Abbrederis was a consensus first-team selection among eight players named All-Big Ten on that side of the ball.
Abbrederis wrapped up the regular season ranked fifth in the Big Ten in receiving at 87.6 yards per game, with his 73 receptions ranked third and his 1,051 receiving yards fourth in the league.
The former walk-on pulled in seven touchdown receptions on the season, giving him 23 for his career. That ranks in a tie for second all-time at UW. He also ranks second all-time in receiving yards (3,110) and receptions (197).
With one game remaining in his career, Abbrederis' 3,110 career receiving yards rank him ninth in Big Ten history and eighth among all active FBS players.

Governor to tour flood damage
Man charged with 3 threatening incidents over 3-day period
MANSFIELD – William E. Perry, 50, of 619 E. Main St., Westfield, was charged by Westfield police with aggravated assault, terroristic threats, and intimidation of witnesses or victims, beginning July 15 when he allegedly threatened a woman with a sword.
According to court documents, Perry went to the apartment of Roxanne Bryant at 115 Main St. looking for her roommate, Diana Button, and, after Bryant told him he wasn't welcome, pulled a sword from its sheath and told her he was going to use it on her next time he came there.
Bryant called police and and Perry was arrested, released on $7,500 bail and waived a preliminary hearing.
But Perry allegedly wasn't through. Westfield Police Chief Dale Niles was dispatched to the same apartmente on July 17 for a report that Perry again was threatening Bryant.
Nile said witnesses at the scene told him Perry threatened one of the witnesses for defending Bryant.
Perry surrendered and was arrested again, but when Niles attempted to serve court papers about revocation of his probation at a hearing July 19, Perry allegedly threatened to knock his teeth in, drive his nose into his head and shoot him 9 times.
Niles said Perry approached his car and started swearing and calling him vulgar names, while wearing a knife and carrying a large cane.
He also allegedly made similar threats in front of corrections officers at the Tioga County Prison.
Perry again waived a preliminary hearing and was committed in lieu of a total $40,000 bail July 22.

He averaged 23.8 yards per kickoff return and 12.2 yards per punt return.

SAO PAULO (AP) – Police in Brazil say they are investigating a sports promotion company for the suspected embezzlement of nearly $4 million of public funds to promote a 2008 friendly between Brazil and Portugal.
Police inspector Henri Perez Lopes tells the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper that the municipal government of Brasilia paid $3.9 million to Brazil-based Ailanto Marketing to promote the match held in Brasilia.
Lopes says he wants to know how the money was spent, what happened to the money from ticket sales and why the Brasilia municipal Football Federation and not Ailanto ended up footing the bill for the friendly.
Police did not return calls requesting details on the case.

Drive into the grounds of Cloughjordan House and drive into a little bit of Irish paradise. This 400 year old country house situated a few moments drive from the
B&B is closed except for weddings and cookery course weekends. All Wedding accommodation is reserved by the individual bride & groom
Main House Rooms
Cloughjordan House provides a first class offering in the Good Food Ireland Culinary Accommodation bracket. The proportions of this elegant building make for a very comfortable stay. Eight acres of land provide quiet places to stroll. Morning coffee or afternoon tea on the lawn is pure delight. Bedrooms in the main house have heaps of period features, but facilities are up to the minute modern. The large separate bathroom dedicated to one of the double rooms has a sauna and walk in wet room.
Other rooms are ensuite – with equally spacious bath and shower rooms. Two rooms above the Cloughjordan Cookery School also on site here are built into the eaves – these are neatly proportioned and full of charm from the sloping ceilings and country décor. Outside, country garden deck chairs and loungers are positioned to catch the sun when it shines.
'Cow-shed' rooms
Over the past year we have been delighted to launch our newly converted 'Cowshed' and 'Milking Shed' rooms in our farmyard. These allow us to accommodate 50 guests onsite.
The rooms, named after their former inhabitants (Daisy, Buttercup, Bluebell!) are finished with natural wood from the grounds, and even a few remnants from the old dairy farm, to create a rustic charm!
Food at Cloughjordan House
Breakfast is taken in the Cookery School dining room where we offer a delightful array of buffet breakfast options including freshly squeezed orange juice, home made bread and Award winning Cloughjordan Wood Fired Bakery bread, cereals, fresh fruit, yogurts, smoothies and muffins.
As with all of our food at Cloughjordan House as much of it as possible is picked from our walled garden and polytunnels, so it's fresh and in-season.
Hi Maighread,
We had a really wonderful time at Cloughjordan House. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and clean. Breakfast was outstanding in both quality and quantity. Both Sarah and Peter were most welcoming and the house/grounds are beautiful and very relaxing.As for the cookery lesson and lunch, we were very impressed. Thoroughly enjoyed the class, lots of great tips and the meal was just delicious! And then the lovely surprise at the end of our bags of Glenisk products and some jam and chutney that we had made on the day.
As you can tell I have nothing but compliments for Cloughjordan House and I will definitely be recommending them to friends and family.Thank you so much for this wonderful prize, we truly had a lovely time.
Liz Halliday Oct 2014
Hi there,
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Cloughjordan House, it's a beautiful place and very well kept. Breakfast was very good, the recommendation from Peter to eat at The Fairways was well received, the menu is extensive and the food excellent. The cookery class was great, Colleen is lovely and a fab baker! All in all we had a lovely time from start to finish.
Thanks again to all at Cloughjordan House and Glenisk for our lovely goodies pack going home! Niamh Foy July '14
- "The balance of Sarah's professional food knowledge and Peter's full on enthusiasm as host and events organiser is well struck. Between them, the couple make this piece of paradise a charming place to stay and enjoy a gourmet break which highlights the best ingredients Ireland has to offer. We are very much looking forward to visiting again and we think when you go there, you'll be in a hurry to return too."
Diane Curtin, Inspector, Good food Ireland
- "What a wonderful stay in Cloughjordan House! We were warmly welcomed by Baker's family. The hospitality was absolutely perfect. We had some very interesting discussions with Peter who explained to us the history of his very old house. We appreciated a very good cook with food from the organic garden. But above all, if you want to understand how start a good day: try Peter's porridge: it is fantastic. Thank you very much for your sense of welcome!"
Charles T, France
- "There are three things, in my opinion, that make a Bed & Breakfast worth leaving your own home for. There's the bed aspect – are the pillows fluffy, is the bed marshmallowey, does the house have character? Then there's the breakfast part – it's almost laughable how many Bed & Breakfasts get this so horribly wrong. Finally, there's the unspoken hospitality part – do you feel at home? Do you feel relaxed, rejuvinated and welcome?For me, their B&B has got it all. The comfort, the food and the hospitality."
Aoife McElwain- icanhascook
- "Cornelia, John, Jennifer and I are all back in Canada now. We are agreed that our stay in Cloughjordan House along with the cooking lesson was one of the highlights of the whole trip. Thank you again for running me out to the Modreeny cemetery to confirm the location and to snap a few pictures. I expect to be preparing a write-up on "Our Irish Heritage" for my relatives sometime this summer. Again, thanks for a wonderful time in Cloughjordan."
D. Bradley, Canada
- We had the most amazing time in Cloughjordan from when we arrived until we left. We learned so much during the cooking class and have since made the yummy treats at home. The breakfast was so good and a nice way to start the day. We slept so well in the room and felt very at home. The place is a gem. Thanks so much to all at Glenisk and Cloughjordan.

Eventide is the originator of the digital profanity delay. Some of the first examples of this technology still haunt the Greater Media Detroit equipment archives. The Eventide BD955 units were single-channel, 2RU systems that could run as a master and slave for use in a stereo environment. They also possessed the unique capability to catch-up after being dumped, something that no tape loop ever could do. I never used that delay to its full potential because ramping was so slow and quite often objectionably audible. Also, the early delay unit possessed only seven seconds of delay, meaning operators had to be good and lucky to keep callers' foul tirade from finding its way on the air.
Considering the technology of the day (1977), Eventide's BD955 was a fine machine that found its way into many air-chains. In the post wardrobe-failure United States of today, we find ourselves wanting much more from a delay unit. If the FCC's policy and enforcement is not enough, many stations are forced to install delays to meet compliance with corporate mandates. Since Ms. Jackson's solar-clad protuberance was exposed the world over, several delay manufacturers found themselves in the enviable position of not being able to churn them out fast enough. These days delays offer superlative audio performance, nearly inaudible ramping, and some other cool features like the on-the-fly edit provided by a press of the cough/sneeze button and the ability to be dumped in steps so as not to leave the airchain with an unsafe amount of delay.
The advancement of this technology is largely possible because of the reduction in scale and power requirements of random access memory. Eventide's latest product has enough for 80 seconds of stereo audio to be watchfully metered through in a bucket brigade fashion — first in first out. That would have taken a serial/parallel chain of some 22 of the original Eventide delay units.
In addition to building a state-of-the-art profanity delay, Eventide has looked to the future for its flagship model and included a precision delay mode that allows their BD600 to be used as a synchronization delay for use in HD Radio applications. This compelling new feature, called Micro Precision Fixed Delay, allows the station to separate the analog audio path from that of the digital. If you have HD Radio installed you no doubt recognize the advantage of having a stand-alone delay product to handle the digital time alignment. Since very early in the installation of HD Radio at my stations, I realized that having the stations' analog signal running through a PC (which the HD Radio signal generator undeniably is) made me a restless sleeper. You are just one CPU hang away from dead air. Another downside to that is the Ibiquity-designed delay internal to the signal generator can't profit from the years of experience gained developing delays that Eventide obviously possesses. That means that ramping in and out of delay is either agonizingly slow or clearly audible. Additionally, with the IBOC signal generator operating at minimum delay, a skip is still heard when taking the HD Radio signal generator in and out of the analog audio circuit. By contrast, the Eventide BD600 can slide itself inline and ramp up to a precision delay setting and then back again without anyone being the wiser.
There are a number of places where a delay can be inserted to accommodate the alignment for digital. The Orban Optimod-FM 8500 includes a precision delay so that a user can accurately align the analog and digital signals. I've had success with the 8500 and found alignments as close as one sample (according to my friends at Ibiquity who possess a computer to measure such things). The 8500 seems like the perfect solution until you consider that it offers no way to ramp itself up or down, nor does it allow the user to choose distinctly different audio processing between the analog and digital streams. The Eventide BD600 placed at input to the analog stereo generator opens the possibility of processing the digital and analog signals differently and allows the station to make seamless transitions between time-aligned and non time-aligned operation.
Setup and operation of the BD600 is easy. The unit offers analog and AES3 digital connections as well as a word clock input and output. The BD600 comes in two flavors: one with basic remote control capability and one with an extended remote control. The latter includes a delayed parallel remote control loop-through that can be used to delay simple contact closure remote control commands by the exact amount that the audio is delayed, as well as a synchronized RS-232 loop-through useful for aligning RBDS generating equipment or automation equipment. Configuration is fairly straight forward after having a look at the manual.
I would have preferred the inclusion of a small LCD dot matrix display instead of the LED segment display for setup. The large LED, which is fine for display of the delay time, is forced to do double duty for setup operations and its displays are sometimes cryptic making it necessary to refer back to the manual for clarity.
Another Eventide innovation is the Compact Flash card slot used for storage of audio files, which the unit can playback while simultaneously building delay. Also offered is the ability to control the unit via an RS-232 serial connection to a computer, though no client software is offered.
On the whole, Eventide's BD600 is a terrific product that is ideal for HD Radio synchronization and profanity delay applications. I'll bet the producers of a certain football halftime show wish they would have had command of a dump button capable of censoring Ms. Janet.

Definitely a place to stay in a surprisingly wonderful place on the outskirt of Amsterdam. Superb location and hospitality!!. We will absolutely come back again. Ellen and Paul have been a great host and very accommodating. I would not even think of staying in the crowded inner city, only a very short distance a few hundreds meters from the home turning left after the roundabout, cross the bridge there is a Park and Ride (P+R) place to park the car and ride the tram to the center city free of hassle. What else can we say?? I hope this review does not make it difficult for us to book the next time we visit because it is heavily occupied.
Very nice place near to the bus transportation to the down town. Flat perfect fully equipped, clean and cozy. Nice view to the garden. Ellen and his family are veri nice, friendly and helpfull. We were happy to meet them in their home. I can fully recommend to all . I Hope to see them again.
Thank you very much for your hospitality, Ellen !!!
