NORML Blog
NORML's Legislative Round Up October 21, 2016October 21, 2016
With Election Day less than three weeks away we're excited to share with you the latest polling information from states with pending marijuana related ballot initiatives, as well as breaking news from another state that may be setting the stage for full legalization next year. A summary of this year's crop of marijuana-centric ballot initiatives is available online here.
NORML is also pleased to announce that next week we will be releasing our first ever, Governors Report Card. Inspired by our Congressional Scorecard, this report will provide a letter grade for the Governors of all 50 states. Which Governors have been supportive of reforms and which ones have stood in the way of progress? We'll give your Governor a grade so you know exactly where your Governor stands. If you aren't yet subscribed to our Newsletter, sign up today so you can be the first to receive the Governors Scorecard in your inbox!
Now, keep reading below to get the latest in marijuana law reform!
Arizona: Half of Arizona voters intend to vote 'yes' in favor of Proposition 205: The Arizona Legalization and Regulation of Marijuana Act, according to an Arizona Republic/Morrison/Cronkite News poll. Forty percent of voters oppose the initiative. The Act allows adults age 21 and older to possess and to privately consume and grow limited amounts of marijuana (up to one ounce of marijuana flower, up to five grams of marijuana concentrate, and/or the harvest from up to six plants) and provides regulations for a retail cannabis marketplace.
Delaware: A September poll by the University of Delaware shows that 61 percent of residents surveyed support marijuana legalization. The survey, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International on Sept. 16-28, consisted of 900 phone interviews. Last year Delaware decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana, reclassifying the possession of up to one ounce of cannabis by those age 21 and over from a criminal misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and a criminal record, to a civil violation punishable by a $100 fine only — no arrest, and no criminal record.
Last week, the state's Senate majority whip said that she would propose a bill in January to legalize marijuana for adult use in the state. We'll have an #ActionAlert out soon so you can #TakeAction in support of this legislation.
Florida: According to an October poll by the University of North Florida, 77 percent of respondents said they'll vote for Amendment 2, which would expand medical marijuana access in the state. Passage of the amendment would permit qualified patients to possess and obtain cannabis from state-licensed facilities. Under Florida law, 60 percent of voters must approve a constitutional amendment in order for it to become law. In November 2014, Floridians narrowly rejected a similar amendment, which received 58 percent of the vote.
Massachusetts: According to a WBUR poll released this week, support for marijuana legalization is rising. Fifty-five percent of likely voters now say they favor allowing adults to use recreational marijuana, an increase of five percentage points from a similar poll performed last month. Question 4 permits adults to possess up to 10 ounces of cannabis and to grow up to six plants for non-commercial purposes. The measure also establishes regulations overseeing the commercial production and sale of the plant.
NORML Sues Over Missing Ballot Item in FloridaOctober 20, 2016
The Florida's chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) has filed a civil lawsuit against the Broward County Commissioner of Elections, after media and news reports revealed that mail in ballots have been sent to voters omitting the state's medical marijuana constitutional amendment.
The claim was just filed by NORML's national vice chairman, Fort Lauderdale attorney Norm Kent, and his law partner, Russell Cormican, on behalf of Florida NORML and Karen Goldstein, NORML Florida's chair, a West Park, Broward County voter.
The plaintiff's are seeking a judicial declaration enjoining the Defendant's from distributing any further ballots, and implementing an emergency plan to issue new ones which insure the inclusion of the proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot.

Gallup: Record High Percentage Of Americans Back Legalizing MarijuanaOctober 19, 2016
Sixty percent of Americans believe that "the use of marijuana should be legal," according to nationwide polling data released today by Gallup. The percentage is the highest level of support ever reported by the polling group, and represents more than a doubling in public support over the past two decades.
The data closely follows the release of polling data compiled by the Pew Research Center showing a similar, dramatic shift in public opinion in favor of legalization.
Those ages 18 to 34 (77 percent), Independents (70 percent), and Democrats (67 percent) were most likely to endorse legalization in the Gallup poll. Support was weakest among Republicans (42 percent) and those age 55 or older (45 percent).
The poll possesses a margin of error of +/- four percentage points.
A Personal Message from NORML's FounderOctober 18, 2016
I'm writing to make sure you saw the post from our Deputy Director Paul Armentano last week. With just a few short weeks to go before the big marijuana legalization votes on Election Day, I first wanted to thank all of you who have already donated. Without support from people like you, NORML wouldn't have been able to continue our fight for nationwide marijuana legalization for over four decades.
November 8th will be one of the most important days for us as a movement and that's why I wanted to take a minute to send you a personal message asking you to stand with NORML during these crucial weeks leading up to the big votes:
In order to ensure big wins on Election Day and take our fight to city councils, state legislatures, and Congress in 2017 and beyond, we need to know you are with us.
Please consider donating $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can afford today.
Together, we WILL legalize marijuana across this great country.
URGENT: Marijuana Legalization Needs Your Help!
by Paul Armentano, NORML Deputy Director
October 14, 2016
In just a few weeks, voters in nine states will go to the polls to vote on crucial marijuana policy reforms at a time when national polling shows that the public's support for legalization has never been greater. I'm pleased to say that NORML is playing a key role in moving public sentiment toward marijuana sanity.
From day one, NORML's chief mission has been to move public and political opinion sufficiently so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer criminalized and stigmatized. We do so by presenting credible, evidence-based information about marijuana and marijuana policy reform to the general public, the mainstream media, pundits, and policymakers. And nobody does it better than we do.
NORML remains the most well-known and most trusted source of cannabis-centric information in the United States. Nearly 30 percent of the entire American public is familiar with NORML and its mission, according to a 2016 YouGov poll, and the overwhelming majority of those who identify as marijuana consumers say that they possess a favorable impression of our organization.
Cannalytics Survey: Cannabis Consumers Most Likely To Identify As Independent Voters
Americans who use cannabis or hold favorable views toward the plant tend to identify themselves politically as Independent rather than as a Democrat or a Republican, according to the results of a Cannalytics consumer research survey published today.
Among respondents, 46 percent defined themselves as Independent. Of this group, over 90 percent consider marijuana policy reform to be among the most important election issues, and more than 75 percent said that they are more motivated to vote this election because of pending cannabis-specific ballot measures.
Voters in nine states will decide on Election Day in favor of statewide ballot measures seeking to legalize either the medical use or the adult use of marijuana.
Cannalytics and its partners, including NORML, provided a 51-point questionnaire to over 5,800 respondents to gauge their opinions on cannabis policy, as well as their own marijuana use. Respondents typically were well educated, most did not smoke tobacco, and 53 percent suggested that they would consume less alcohol if cannabis were legally regulated for adults.
Full results of the 2016 Cannabis Voter Report are available online at: http://www.cannalytics.us/.

What!?! You thought your Obama outfit was already complete? Nah homie, if you gonna rock the shirt & hat, you gotta get the sneaks too.
Now, these we can't be too too mad at. Especially after reading about the company, MiBlox, who made these joints. Plus they have a bible scripture on the sole. Hating on these too hard will almost be like booing a 6-year old singing "Greatest Love of All" at a talent show. Unless their name is Randy Watson, Jr. But we must say, these are very original. Far more unique than the random Air Forces and Shell Toes we see with Obama logos painted on and etched it.
What do ya'll think, would you rock these? Or are these instant jone material? At $75 a pop, they'll be souvenirs at the least.

Today's earnings report by Austria's Erste bank is much worse a read then the bank is willing to admit.
Erste's bad debt charges are 2 billion euros – for the fourth straight year! – and we know that banks loath and postpone and minimize any which way possible the size of those charges.
Erste blames the charges on loans going bad in Hungary and Romania. Bloomberg says that in both of these countries "about one in four loans on Erste's book is delinquent" but that is a backward statistic.
Erste is part of a group of banks like Austria's Raiffeisen, Italy's UniCredit and Greek Alpha that were brave to storm the former communist markets of eastern and central Europe and offer novel banking services including foreign currency denominated loans.
Swiss Franc was popular and the low rates on Franc got many Hungarians to mortgage themselves, but now that the local currency has tanked and the Franc has strengthened, there are billions of Euros that may never get paid off.
One suspects that Swiss authorities, last year, must have, among other things, taken notice of these billions of bad Franc-loans when they decided to set a ceiling on the value of their currency – it sure put Austria at a greater ease that the country's banks would not suddenly implode.
Hungary, a country that leads in the amount of bad Franc-debt, has asked the IMF for a loan and has pawned off the dependence of its central bank in exchange for an undetermined amount of EU financial help.
Yet Hungary maybe aiming for another source of funds – Russia.
It recently pulled out of the German-led Nabucco gas pipeline in favor of the Russian South Stream pipeline because it suits Hungary's "strategic interests".
Getting hold of more cash is Hungary's strategic interest as of right now so it is conceivable that by the end of 2012, perhaps, we may hear of a Russian loan to Hungary for something or other.
The rapprochement with Russia suggests that problems in Hungary are much worse then what they appear and that banking troubles in that region should escalate.
The fact that Erste has been writing off bad loans at a 2 billion clip for 4 years does not mean that the bottom in bad loans is in but that the bank may have been economizing on the amount of write-offs. One suspects that Erste and the others could soon begin to increase their economization to larger clip so that as many of us are too busy starring at Spain, eastern European bankruptcy may sneak in.

You've seen the headlines: America is fat and getting fatter. More than one-third of adults in the United States are considered obese (another one-third are simply overweight), and rates are even higher among African American, Hispanic, and low-income populations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Reasons for the crisis are varied, but technology, which brought us processed foods and an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, is likely one of them. But what if we used the technology that is so pervasive in our lives today to help us lead healthier, more active lives?
That's the goal of computer science Assistant Professor Katie Siek, whose expertise is in a field she and her colleagues have coined "Wellness Informatics." Siek wants to empower individuals with software tools that can help them make healthier choices when it comes to nutrition and exercise.
Siek was awarded a $600,000 grant by the National Science Foundation's Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program to develop effective interventions that take into account social and environmental considerations. The grant was funded by federal stimulus dollars—and it was the sixth CAREER award to CU engineering faculty in 2009, a record achievement for the college.
Siek and her graduate students are already working with families in two of Denver's public housing neighborhoods with the goal of creating Personal Health Records (PHRs) that can disseminate wellness information, give personalized feedback to individuals, and track health metrics over time. She hopes that the resulting products will be useful to a wide range of people and will help prevent conditions associated with obesity, such as diabetes and heart disease.
While PHRs have been endorsed by the last two presidential administrations and large insurance groups, there has not been widespread adoption yet because usability, security, and accessibility have not been addressed. Current PHRs must be designed to better help people manage their own wellness, Siek contends.
Furthermore, "the effectiveness of these interventions has been limited for low-income communities because they have been designed with little consideration for the social and environmental context of health- related behaviors," Siek says.
Explaining that many of the families her group is working with in Denver are Latino and new African immigrants, Siek says that language and cultural differences must be taken into account to create effective tools.
When a person is given nutritional guidelines, for example, the information must be in a form they can use. It's one thing to know how many servings of bread and meat make up your recommended daily allowance, but how does that translate to tacos and pig's feet? And if your doctor wants you to eat less fat and more whole grains, then what items can you buy at the fast-food restaurants that are so prevalent in your neighborhood?
Siek's interest in wellness informatics began with her PhD work at Indiana University, which involved creating an IT application for use in dietary monitoring by low-literacy dialysis patients. In doing the project, she discovered the importance of designing culturally appropriate graphics and other tools that help people to understand and make their own choices on a daily basis.
Now she wants to expand that work into a more comprehensive application that incorporates existing data streams, such as GPS maps showing the location of healthy grocery stores, bus routes, and the like, which together with an individual's own inputs will empower them to make healthier choices in their lives.
As part of this focus, Siek also challenged the undergraduate students in her fall 2009 Games for Health course (a section of the GEEN 1400 projects class) to develop games that are fun to play and get people exercising at the same time. Two student teams enjoyed it so much that they're continuing to develop their inventions through independent study and research grants, which may help bring their inventions to market someday.
One musical-stairs project had students climbing the stairs on their way to class in the Engineering Center instead of riding the elevator because they wanted to play the notes of a song as they went.
In another project that won the People's Choice Award at the Engineering Design Expo, students modified a $75 exercise bicycle with new gears and sensors and developed a computer program completely from scratch to create a block-puzzle game similar to Tetris. The faster the player pedals the bicycle, the slower the game blocks fall and the more control they have. Steering the bicycle moves the game pieces to the left and right, while switches on the handlebars rotate the pieces.
"Four people played it in class and said they forgot they were exercising—they just wanted to keep playing Tetris," Siek recalls.
For someone with an aversion to exercise, that could be a life-changing tool.

Best Uses
My 8 month old puppy had to be switched to a new food due to loose stools
and our breeder recommended Innova. He took to it right away although I eased him in rather than switching right over as was suggested to me. I do also add a bit of canned pumpkin to his breakfast too. We laugh & call it his kitty cat food ( he is 50 lbs!) because it is triangular and usually dog kibble is round ;). All in all we are happy with the product and wag is awesome!

Comments about Puppy Food:
Was feeding blue buffalo to my dog and she was getting runs..switched to Innova and 1 TBL spoon of punpkin & fat-free Yogurt (once in the morning) and stool is more firm.. So far, doing good after 2 months. Vet said her stomach was just singing on blue buffalo. This costs same as blue buffalo and will continue with Innova....
Our 9-month old Port Water Dog loves the food, switched him over from Taste of the Wild and now he finishes all his food and then carries his bowl around with him, too funny!

"Never met a wilderness she did like."
November 13, 2006
I had the misfortune of watching Joe Lieberman on Meet the Press Sunday.
He was his usual, insufferable, unctuous self.
And he was parroting the conventional wisdom that the elections represent "the return of the center of American politics."
That's convenient for him, though it ignores the victory of socialist Bernie Sanders in Vermont and populists like Sherrod Brown in Ohio and Jon Tester in Montana.
Lieberman claims to be in the center, though he won 70 percent of the Republican vote, which gives you a better indication of his leanings.
And he may tip over soon.
I'm sure Democratic leaders in Congress were not delighted by his response to the following question from Tim Russert: If the Democrats "ask for discipline in the Democratic caucus, and you start to feel uncomfortable with it, would you consider going across the aisle, and joining the Republicans, if they gave you the same chairmanship that you had, and respected your seniority?"
Lieberman responded: "Yeah, well, that's a hypothetical, which I'm not going to deal with there. I'm going to be an optimist, and take some encouragement from the fact this was an election in which, in the House and Senate, Democrats came to the majority of both chambers by electing moderates mostly."
Russert pressed him by asking, "You're not ruling that out at some future time?"
To which Lieberman said, "I'm not ruling it out, but I hope I don't get to that point." And then he added that he appreciated the support he had received from Republicans.
Lieberman also implicitly impugned the patriotism of Democrats who fight for partisan goals. Early on in his interview, he said he told his constituents in Connecticut, "I promise you I will put progress and patriotism ahead of partisanship and polarization." Later, he added: "The American people are considering both major political parties to be in a kind of probation, because they're understandably angry that Washington is dominated too much by partisan political games, and not enough by problem solving and patriotism."
So if Democrats take a principled stand on, say, the issue of withdrawal from Iraq or impeachment, Lieberman already has his brush dipped in paint to smear them with the word "unpatriotic." Then he just might jump ship.
The man who ran as Gore's running mate on the 2000 Democratic ticket may end up a Republican yet, and swing the Senate back to Bush.

The beauty and the tragedy of everyday life in a war zone.
By Wendell Berry
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

Some residents who feel they were unfairly caught up in the city's post-blizzard towing blitz want Mayor Bill Finch's administration to reimburse them the $75 parking ticket and minimum $110 towing fee.
As we reported today Bridgeport has so far seized 400 vehicles.
The city's response? The police department strongly urges anyone who feels they were the victim of an unjust tow to appeal the $75 parking violation as they would any other ticket.
But what about getting back their $110?
That's actually up to the state Department of Motor Vehicles. And according to agency spokesman Bill Seymour the DMV has little discretion when it comes to determining whether or not a tow was justified.
Basically, Seymour said, if a tow was authorized by local law enforcement under municipal statutes, it was legal and proper. Nothing changes that.
In fact, Seymour said, even if a resident successfully appealed the related parking violation, that victory cannot then be used to compel a towing company to reimburse the towing expenses.
"There's nothing we can do about it," Seymour said. "We're going to look at was the tow authorized by police either directly or through policy?"
But for those of you who like a challenge, here's a link for logging a complaint with the DMV.

We rarely see movie characters spell out their plans before enacting them, because that would be no fun -- usually they'll just wink, say, "Trust me, I have a plan," and then the movie will reveal the plan through a series of surprising plot twists. However, we suspect that the real reason they don't tell us the plans out front is because, most of the time, they'd sound pretty stupid if you said them out loud.
For instance ...
6 Return of the Jedi -- Luke Puts Together the Worst Escape Plan Imaginable
Return of the Jedi opens with one of the most famous rescue missions ever filmed, as Luke Skywalker and his friends go save a frozen Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt's palace. It's so exciting, you forget how impossibly stupid the plan is.
The first part of Luke's plan (apparently) consists of getting each and every one of his friends captured by Jabba, one by one. First he sends R2-D2 and C-3PO into the palace with a message of negotiation and a peace offering. They are immediately put into servitude -- 3PO assigned as a translator, and R2 put on Jabba's barge.
"We need an extra urinal for long sand-fishing trips."
Next come Leia and Chewbacca: Leia is disguised as a bounty hunter, negotiating a reward for Chewie, who is taken away by Jabba's men. She then manages to unfreeze Han before she's caught and put in a golden bikini.
"Yes, exactly as I planned." -- Leia's brother
Cue Luke, who walks in unarmed to drive a hard bargain for the prisoners. Naturally, he ends up fighting a hideous monster and being captured too. For a moment, it looks as though Luke's luck has run out as he, Han and Chewie are brought out into the desert to be executed by slow digestion. As Han laments, Luke tells him to stick close to him, assuring him that he's "taken care of everything."
"Grrrraaaaaawww." "Jesus Christ, Chewie! Shut up about the fucking medal."
And then, we all know what follows: Luke gets his lightsaber from R2 (smuggled all along!) and Han accidentally bitch-kills Boba Fett as golden bikini-clad Leia strangles both Jabba and an entire generation's hopes of ever having a normal sex life.
Why It Was a Stupid Plan:
There's an old saying that goes, "Any plan where you end up completely unarmed and over a monster pit is a bad plan." But it's not like Luke and the others had a choice, right? The only way to get into Jabba's palace is as a prisoner. Except that while the gang is coming and going, we see one dude just standing there in the background, looking inconspicuous ...
The background check for this job consisted of the "pinky-swear you're not a sleeper agent" test.
Lando F. Calrissian! Lando doesn't come in with a prisoner. He doesn't have to fight a monster, or put on a golden bikini (unfortunately) -- he just puts on a mask and stands in the crowd of aliens that hang out at Jabba's. Why couldn't the others sneak in the way Lando did, get Han and sneak out? Or, alternatively, just go straight to fighting Jabba's guys, which is what they ended up doing in the other plan anyway. Except, this way, they would have their weapons and wouldn't be wearing shackles.
5 The Matrix -- Morpheus Reveals Everything to Neo On a Tapped Phone Call
In The Matrix, Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) believes that Neo (Keanu Reeves) is a Second Life Jesus who will free humanity from the virtual-reality tyranny of the machines. Unfortunately, Neo is captured by government agents (actually, evil computer programs) who push some sort of robot-shrimp into his stomach.
Not the worst orifice they could have chosen.
However, the Agents don't give a shit about Neo, they just want to use him to get to Morpheus -- so they release him with a literal bug inside of him, hoping he'll lead them to the bigger fish. At this point, Morpheus calls Neo and just lays it all out for him: He tells Neo that he is "The One" and gives him a location to meet. Morpheus' pals pick up Neo, remove that weird shrimp bug and it's all red pills and slo-mo kung fu from there.
Why It Was a Stupid Plan:
When Morphy calls Neo on the phone, the first thing he says is: "This line is tapped so I must be brief. They got to you first but they underestimated how important you are. If they knew what I know, you would probably be dead ..."
Guess what, dude? They now know what you know, because you just fucking told them.
"... uhhh, would probably be Deb, I mean. Is this Deb? Wrong number. Sorry."
Let's get this straight: The line is tapped and the enemy can hear everything you say, and you choose to say exactly what it is you think they specifically shouldn't know, giving them a specific course of action they should follow in order to stop you (that is, kill Neo), followed by an address where they can conveniently stop you? Yeah, nice plan, asshole.
According to Morpheus, the one thing working to their advantage is that the agents don't know how important Neo is (apparently, they didn't see the trailers and figured Carrie Anne-Moss was the protagonist). Well, after Morpheus'`1 phone call, they do, so that by the time Neo calmly arrives at the meeting point, he is ass-deep in agents. He still has the tracking bug inside of him -- not that the agents need it because, again, Morpheus fucking tells them where Neo is going to go next. How is this guy the leader?
"We prefer to govern ourselves by Authoritarian Oakley-ocracy."
So, what options did Morpheus have? Well, what about contacting Neo in one of those super-secret hacker chat rooms that it took even the agents minutes to crack? And if that's not possible ... he has legs, doesn't he? Wouldn't it probably better to just go get your deity -- at least, compared to calling him on a tapped phone and spilling your guts?

Keira Knightley Wants to Protect Your Teenage Soul
"Teenage years should be done privately."
In an interview for her Elle UK cover story, Knightley said she would "100%" discourage teenage girls from acting. Actually, let's make that "150 million trillion per cent" discouragement. Laws of math and statistics should be put aside for how hard she's advising against acting.
Knightley's points are twofold: A teenager should do silly things that don't have the attention of media scrutiny — and media scrutiny can be vicious. It takes adult-level thick skin. Here's Knightley:
Teenage years should be done privately. You should be going out and getting unbelievably drunk, getting into ridiculous situations, making mistakes. That's what that time of life is about and we should do that privately.
Saying that, I don't regret it — I wouldn't do my life any differently, but having lived through it …There was a very long time when [interviewers] were all: "Well you're a shit actress and you're anorexic and people hate you" which, for a teenager is a very strange thing.
People are truly jerks sometimes. But there are comforts in dungarees and coming out on the other side of it.

The external signage at the front of NHS buildings is very important. It is the first thing that people see when arriving to access services and facilities.
Your main front-of-house signage must carry the NHS logo. The NHS logo, or your logotype, should be situated in the top right-hand corner of your signage panel. If necessary, you can leave off your organisation name, as shown here.
Examples of front of house signage
Wherever possible, you should use your organisation's logotype on your external signage. If your signage is shared with another NHS organisation, or if you are part of a non-statutory organisation, you should use the national NHS logo instead.
If you belong to a statutory organisation, but for some reason you have to use the NHS logo on its own, you must ensure that your full organisational name appears somewhere on your signage. This is to demonstrate your accountability and ownership.
When reproducing your NHS logotype on signage, you should use NHS Blue (Pantone® 300) and black.
If the panel is generic (e.g. option 1) and only contains your logotype, the panel should be all white. If the signage is directional, or contains text in addition to your organisation name, the panel should be divided into two parts.
On the top part of the panel you should set your logotype against a white background. Your directions or other messages should appear in white text using Frutiger Bold on an NHS Blue (Pantone® 300) background (e.g. option 2).
The lower panel, if it is colour-coded, such as in option 3, then chose a suitable colour from the NHS colour palette. Match all coloured panels as closely as possible to the NHS colour palette.
Option 1: Generic signage
Option 2: Contains directional panel
Option 3: Colour-coded panels
Other signage examples
When applying the NHS brand to your main signage, you must ensure that your NHS logotype, or the NHS logo, is set within its exclusion zone.
The exclusion zone is the clear area around the NHS logo/your logotype in which nothing else should appear. It helps to ensure clarity and readability and improve overall impact. You must not insert any additional words, images or graphic details within the exclusion zone.
This clear space (X) is proportional and defined as the height of the NHS logo.
The exclusion zone
You must use the NHS corporate typeface, Frutiger Bold, on all signage that you create. For more information about NHS typefaces, visit our main typeface section.
You should reproduce the NHS logo in NHS Blue, or its nearest match, on all signage. The best paint colour reference for NHS Blue (Pantone® 300) is BSI 18E53. The best RAL match (a colour specifier for paints, powder coatings and gels) is 5017.
If you are using the NHS logo on a clear background – such as a pane of glass – you should reproduce the NHS lettering in white. The only time this lettering can be clear is when the NHS logo is etched into the glass.

In a move to expand brands and increase consumer-direct sales, Kellwood has agreed to acquire Hanna Andersson Corp. for about $175 million. The sale is expected to close by the end of Kellwood's second fiscal quarter.
Mark Brohan
Kellwood Co. is expanding brands and increasing consumer-direct sales with its agreement to acquire Hanna Andersson Corp. for about $175 million. Multi-channel children's apparel retailer Hanna Andersson, No. 167 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, had web sales of $55 million for 2006. Overall 2006 sales, via catalog, 18 stores and HannaAndersson.com, were about $100 million.
The purchase could signal more such activity to come for Kellwood, says Mary Brett Whitfield, senior vice president at Retail Forward Inc., a research and consulting firm specializing in retailing and consumer products marketing.
"Hanna Andersson is a retailer, albeit vertically integrated with its own manufacturing," Whitfield says. "But it's the first acquisition for Kellwood of a multi-channel retailer. Their history is manufacturing. This could be the first of a number of acquisitions to sell directly to consumers," Whitfield tells Internet Retailer.
The acquisition is a sign of the times particularly in the apparel field, Whitfield says. Companies such as Kellwood manufacture branded and private label clothing, but big retail chains are increasingly pushing their own brands. "Some suppliers are going to have to look at their own customer base for growth," Whitfield adds.
Kellwood is a consumer brand manufacturer whose brands include Phat Fashions LLC, No. 307 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, a lifestyle clothing brand headed up by hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons. Kellwood had sales of about $2 billion in 2006, the company says.
Kellwood chairman, president and CEO Robert C. Skinner Jr. says the acquisition complements Kellwood's business and brand portfolio corporate strategy. "As we have stated, one of our goals is to expand into upscale brands and Hanna Andersson positions Kellwood in the better category of children's apparel. Another part of our strategy is to connect more directly with the consumer. The Hanna Andersson business model is focused on a direct-to-consumer format with a rich media e-commerce site, colorful catalogs and an inviting store format. In addition, Hanna Andersson complements and strengthens our successful and strong children's business platform that we have established with Gerber Childrenswear."
Philip Iosca, president and CEO, will continue as head of Hanna Andersson management.
The sale is expected to close by the end of Kellwood's second fiscal quarter.

"A merry heart doeth good like medicine." - King Solomon
Markets continued to gain independent of the made-for-TV drama known as the Fiscal Cliff. Better economic data continues to push investors into more cyclical areas of the equity market, with small-cap and emerging market stocks continuing their broad outperformance. It appears that markets are now numb to the incompetence coming out of Washington, and continue to fight higher despite ongoing skepticism. On CNBC Friday, I called this the Rocky Balboa stock market because despite hit after hit from the bears, the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) is on track for its best year of performance since 2009.
Can the Fiscal Cliff derail the uptrend in risk assets? While possible, the reality is that the combination of tax hikes and spending cuts may, in actuality, have little impact on the stock market in the face of continued stimulus from worldwide central banks and a recovering Europe. The S&P 500 in 2012 has increased by over a trillion dollars in market cap alone through the advance, which is more than the Fiscal Cliff's anticipated hit to the economy in 2013. While tax hikes would be detrimental to the American consumer, the market itself seems considerably more immune to it. That appears to be the message of price right here, right now.
Our ATAC models used for managing our mutual fund and separate accounts remain in equities, and have performed quite nicely in the face of pundits calling for a bear market. The media seems to glorify those who are overconfident in their extreme negative views, rather than those who have actually been right and are respectful of price action. Conditions dictate the likelihood of stocks outperforming bonds and vice versa, not the narrative of the Fiscal Cliff and Europe. The conditions that matter most are the direction of inflation expectations, and to that end, it is those conditions that nudge risk-taking behavior. Because price follows actions and not words, it is price that dictates true expectations about the near-term direction of markets.
While I have no insights on Washington beyond what I read in the papers (or rather on the Kindle), I suspect a small deal will get done next week just in time for the New Year. Never underestimate the power of Washington to procrastinate but get things done right before a project is due. Granted, the quality of that project may not be great, but at least it gets done. For markets, it may be just the thing needed for Rocky to land a haymaker into 2013.

text: Hydro's ambition to improve earnings from its wholly owned smelters by USD 100 per tonne is now being increased to USD 300 per tonne. The measures aim to improve the aluminium smelters' competitiveness and restore profitability to a sustainable level. September 22, 2010 IMPROVEMENTS: Measures will be taken to improve the competitive-ness and profitability of Hydro's aluminium smelters. (Photo: Helge Hansen) In the autumn of 2009, Hydro launched a cost improvement program in order to reduce operating costs by USD 100 per tonne of primary aluminium produced by the end of 2011, compared to the 2009 level. The program is on schedule. "We must make the smelters more robust. Competition is hard in the aluminium industry, and with a continued uncertain market situation, we need to take the necessary steps to improve our long-term competitiveness," says Hilde Merete Aasheim, executive vice president and head of Hydro's Primary Metal business area. "We will now increase our ambitions and implement measures which will help improve our cost position by a further USD 200, mainly by the end of 2014," Aasheim says. The autumn 2009 program to reduce costs by USD 100 per tonne has been focusing on operational improvements, where a more stable operation of aluminium production means lower production costs. The existing improvement program will now be extended, and Primary Metal will improve efficiency, implement improvements and reduce costs in areas such as purchasing, logistics, technology, manning and organization. In addition, the aim is to obtain a further improvement from margins on metal products from the smelter casthouses – in total, USD 300 per tonne in improvements when all measures are identified and implemented. The improvement program will focus on costs we are able to influence, mainly so-called conversion costs, in Hydro's wholly owned aluminium smelters. The improvements do not include the effect of somewhat higher energy costs in coming years, or fluctuations in raw material prices and other input factors.
