Jack Herer is a sativa dominant marijuana strain named after the famous Marijuana activist.
Jack Herer Feminized Cannabis Seeds by Black Skull Seeds: Jack Herer is a sativa dominant marijuana strain named after the famous Marijuana activist. It was first created by crossing a Haze hybrid with Northern Lights #5 and Shiva skunk. The aim was to capture the cerebral high of a sativa strain with the quicker flowering time of an indica plant along with heavy resin production. The result surpassed all expectations and Jack Herer has gone on to become one of the world's most popular strains.
Through a careful selection process our breeders have focused on the faster finishing phenos and now have a top quality sativa dominant strain that only needs around 8 weeks to complete flowering.
Our Jack Herer demonstrates great vigour and will fill out very quickly once flowering commences. Depending on the vegetative time she can be kept short and stocky for an indoor setup or can be allowed to stretch and flourish outdoors. Yields indoors can easily reach 500g per m2 and outdoors with a longer veg time that amount is possible per plant. We recommend 3 to 4 gallon containers and a 30 day vegetative time to produce maximum yields.
Jack Herer gives of a musky aroma with piney and earthy notes. The effect is very cerebral and this strain has many medical benefits and is widely used by patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis or those who have issues with Pain or depression.
Sex: Feminized
Type: 45% Indica / 55% Sativa
Grow: Indoor/Outdoor
Flowering Time: 50 to 60 days
Indoor Yield: 100 to 130g per plant
Outdoor Yield: 350 to 450g per plant
Height: 80 to 120cm
THC: 18 to 23%
CBD: Medium
Genetics: Haze x NL#5 x Shiva Skunk

Skip to comments.New York State Tax Revenues Slump 36%, Is New York The Next California?
Posted on 10/05/2009 11:14:55 AM PDT by FromLori
New York State is quickly becoming the next California, as tax revenues drop 36% from 2008 levels, and a dejected governor expressing his frustration with policy measures that continue to not bear fruit. As a reminder the state most reliant on the financial sector, is struggling with a $2.1 billion budget deficit that is still looming despite tax increases, federal aid and spending cuts.
New York States income tax revenue has dropped 36 percent from the same period in 2008, Governor David Paterson said, frustrating his attempt to close a projected $2.1 billion budget deficit.
We added personal income tax, which we thought would make the falloff 10 percent to 15 percent, Paterson, a Democrat, said on CNBC today, referring to $5.2 billion in new or increased taxes. This is what is so frustrating. Its still 36 percent, meaning our revenues fell more in 2009 than they did in 2008.
The budget will still be $2.1 billion in deficit because spending plans exceed revenue projections, the state Division of Budget said July 30. The report predicted deficits of $4.62 billion in 2011, $13.3 billion in 2012 and $18.2 billion in 2013. The Governor, who has recently had a major falling out with President Obama, may be in even more hot water as hopes for major tax windfalls from corporate taxes vanish due to generous NOLs established during last year's financial collapse:
We are Ground Zero for the economic recession, said Paterson. What were recognizing now is what everybody recognizes in their own portfolio: you cant overinvest in one area because, if it fails, youll have a debacle.
New York is depleting its options for balancing the budget, Paterson said.
What we want to do is bring the legislature back as soon as possible and make the tough decisions, Paterson said. Alas expenses tend to be much "stickier" than revenues, meaning that even much more drastic cost cutting will likely still leave the state at the mercy of Federal handouts. And if California's IOU experiment is any indication, Paterson may want to promptly get on the President's good side before he is forced to ask for much needed assistance.
Also, another issue that is not receiving much airtime is the continued dire straits that New York's MTA finds itself in. From the most recent status update: "the program has a funding gap of $9.9 billion despite a large increase in State aid and a 56 percent increase in anticipated federal funding, which may not materialize. In the absence of additional aid, the MTA plans to fill the gap with debt, but debt service would then rise rapidly and increase pressure in the future to raise fares and tolls." Yet another aspect of the state economy that is intimately linked with well-bid debt markets, which in turn track the equity market tick for tick, explaining once again how much the administration has staked on a stock market that, miraculously, is not allowed to leg lower by any material amount. However, as long as analyst actions, such as today's by Goldman in which it effectively upgraded itself, continue to drive markets, the plan to keep equities at untenable and fundamentally unjustified levels, will be viable to keep the economy running. Even if it is based on smoke and mirrors.
"Yes, we have plenty of room. C'mon down!"
There is only one solution. Raise taxes again! Yea, that ought to do it!
Perhaps Gov. Paterson should be trying to invite Rush back. :)
Actually, they should just tax ALL public workers 100% and then just keep recycling the money!
More encouraging signs of economic recovery. We need healthcare now. sarc
When will thse morons learn that government cannot continue to grow at the expense of the private sector?
"mmm", "mmm", "mmm"
NY State, with its Downstate control, big unions and a few special interests, are taxing citizens and businesses out of the State. Wall Street therefore accounts for an ever larger percentage of NY State revenue. As goes Wall St, so goes the State Budget.
Unless you somehow need to be in NY State to serve NY City, it makes NO SENSE to have a business in NY State.
Actually, all those people who have lost their jobs and their savings probably find it even more "frustrating" than Governor Patterson.
Across the board, 10 percent staff reduction, ten percent pay cut for the remaining workers - no exceptions.
Budget in balance?
No. Repeat as above.
All these blue states are collapsing yet the libs are demanding more of this to fix it.
Budget cuts NOW! WTF do these cretins still have "pensions," especially at 85% of last salary?
Like CUTTING SPENDING???? Nah - raise some more taxes!
Yep. They reap what they sow. You want a socialist utopia based on the backs of wage earners and business owners? Then, don't be surprised if they leave for fairer pastures. Its time to realize that the demented thinking of the Democratic party and Eastern European dreams of social utopia are the wrong path. They turn productive economies into train wrecks...
It's the inevitable end result of chronic liberal leech leadeship. Eventually any government cannot stand when it is being eroded, rotted, it's pillars eaten away by the lies, crookery, ans hollowing bribery of the Leftists.
We know several people that are or have moved from CA. They just can't make it there.
I do not know who would want to live there now anyway with all the illegal aliens sucking off the system and their gangs and water problems, fires, quakes.
Why don't they try something new? Like increase the fees for license renewal and car registrations?
I am happy to have contributed to at least a couple thousand dollars of state income tax fleeing the state in the past year. Even if it was to PA.
Bloomberg's Tax Lesson[1% are paying 50% of the taxes][New York]
'"One percent of the households that file in this city pay something like 50% of the taxes," explained the Mayor. "In the city, that's something like 40,000 people. If a handful left, any raise would make it revenue neutral. The question is what's fair. If 1% are paying 50% of the taxes, you want to make it even more?"'
These two states should be the richest, but because they have been run by the libs for so long, they are the ones crying for money.
Here's some free advice to both of them - try cutting spending.
That is not my idea of trying something new mine would be like quit spending and quit taxing people to death.
sorry - should've added the /s tag.
No matter who is in charge of NY - repub or dem - they ALWAYS raise license and registration fees.
Just got mine in the mail.
Is California the next New York?
No, New York is in a three way tie for first with Michigan, and Massachutesses. California is clearly pulling up the rear of "progressive" states trying to reach its first state bankruptcy. Remember, the race is measured in people leaving the state versus those entering. Cally is just now reaching NY status in chasing away taxpayers, give it another 40 years and see how progressive you are then.
This stuff gets to me.
During the various bubbles, the governments made out like bandits. They had more capital gains, FICA, medicare, and income tax "revenue". That doesn't even get into sales taxes, various carbon taxes (gas, heating, etc), and the Roth IRA conversion scams.
The one that really gauls me is property taxes at the local level.
Every level of gov't in almost every jurisdiction expanded their spending far beyond the increases in "revenue".
Not only that, but in states like mine (GA), we don't have property value increase caps like FL. So we saw our home values increase dramatically (as did the little old ladies with old homes in the middle of the new big clusters) which resulted in much higher property taxes. Then, they still needed to raise millage rates during the last 10 years.
So why is it that these levels of government can double or triple their spending during the dramatic "revenue" increases, but they can't cut back one red cent during down times? They still need to expand. They want to increase tax rates. They want to increase "services". They want want want. But the tea partiers are the greedy ones?
Hell, in my county they tried to increase my home value by 20% this year even though there are foreclosures all around. It makes me burn with anger. All of it.
I bet they miss Rush now.

How many people on long Island are saying: whyshould I pay taxes just to pay pensions for the retired civil servant next door, who gets a bugger check each month than I do from my boss, after all the stuff is taken out. And his boss is thinking: Now Texas has no income tax and low commercial rents right now, right?
Where is THAT in the Constitution?
This is their attitude.
I could say the same thing about my paycheck that goes to exorbitant property taxes that pay for their salary, retirement, health care, etc.
Is all this really that hard? Put the screws to this union and kill it.
I foresee a huge tax coming soon on moving companies.
(think Kalifornia and ammo taxes)
Can I ask a question?
What does that mean? I see all these "umm umm" or "mmm mmm" repeated posts on FR all the time now. It sounds like listening to someone chew food.
Is it some obscure SNL skit, or YouTube video? I have to admit, it is kind of annoying.
Hey Paterson. Even you and your Democrat moron leaders in NY should be able to see all you have to do is raise income taxes another 50% and everything would be great!
Geez, some people just have no idea what they're doing.
There is a simple and very progressive solution to New York's budgetary problems. Simply tax all income at the 175% level and the deficit disappears. This will also promote the "greening" of New York, a process that is well advanced in cities like Detroit.

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. FRANK
J. WILSON, Judge, presiding. Judgment affirmed.
Rehearing denied July 1, 1970.
By a joint indictment, defendants were charged with burglary. A jury convicted them and the court sentenced each to serve five to fifteen years. In this appeal, defendants contend that (1) evidence in the record did not prove existence of the corporation named in the indictment as the owner of the burglarized premises; (2) defendants' constitutional rights were violated by admission in evidence of testimony concerning a statement allegedly made to a police officer by a co-defendant who was not on trial and who did not testify; and (3) the final argument of the prosecutor was prejudicial.
In the evening of December 29, 1967, Robert Schmidt, dressed in a police uniform, was on duty as a security officer for "[S]ears and Roebuck . . ." at its warehouse, 2065 George Street, Melrose Park, Illinois. Part of the warehouse was a receiving dock with overhead doors numbered 1 to 26. Sometime that evening, Schmidt checked all the doors and found them locked. At about 7:30 p.m., Schmidt saw a hat and a gray coat inside the building. He touched them; they were cold. Then, looking toward Door No. 4, Schmidt saw a man carry a sewing machine to a white 1960 Ford four-door sedan that was parked near the receiving dock. The lighting condition of the area was "very good"; there were six poles of mercury vapor lamps. Schmidt saw the man put the sewing machine on the ground and open the door of the car. Schmidt went to the man "[o]n Sears' property . . ." and asked him what he was doing. The man replied: "I ain't doing nothing, man." As Schmidt went around the car to get nearer, the man bolted and ran. As Schmidt pursued him, he jumped a fence and got away. At the trial Schmidt testified that man was Robert E. Jackson, one of the defendants.
Schmidt went back to the car, recovered the sewing machine and "[l]ooked in the car for other Sears' property. . . ." In the glove compartment he found papers showing that the car belonged to a James Nelson. Schmidt then took the car's rotor so that it could not be operated. He took the sewing machine, the papers and the rotor to the security office and called his supervisor. On advice of the latter, Schmidt sat in an automobile in the rear of the parking lot with the white 1960 Ford and the warehouse under surveillance. Forty minutes or so later, Schmidt saw two men come out of Door No. 24 and walk to the Ford. One sat behind the wheel and tried to start the car. Schmidt went to them and asked what they were doing. They did not answer. He then asked the two men to accompany him into the warehouse. One of the men showed Schmidt a draft card with the name James Nelson on it. According to Schmidt, the man had on the gray coat he saw in the building earlier. In his testimony, Schmidt identified defendant James Nelson as the man who showed the draft card and the co-defendant who was not on trial, Ronald Dudly Hardman, as the man with Nelson. Hardman went into the warehouse with Schmidt; Nelson did not. After taking Hardman into the security office, Schmidt made an inspection of the area near Door 24 from which the two men emerged. There he saw four color and three black and white television sets on a dolly inside an empty truck.
The police were called and at about 10:09 p.m. Officers Belle and Diaferra came "[t]o the Sear's Distribution Center. . . ." Schmidt showed Officer Belle Door 24, the television sets in the empty truck nearby and a bluish-gray carton with "[t]he name Sears on it . . . a sewing machine that is sold by that company. . . ." Hardman was taken to the Melrose Park police station. At about 1:00 a.m. in the police station, Schmidt was shown two groups of photographs. From these he selected pictures of defendants Nelson and Jackson. Schmidt testified that no employee of Sears "[o]r anybody else from Sears ever gave either of these two defendants permission to enter the premises. . . ." Then he was asked, "Did you or anybody else who is involved with the Sears Corporation ever give either of these defendants to the best of your knowledge permission to take any property from the Sears' warehouse at that address?" Schmidt answered, "No." Thereafter, a complaint and warrant were prepared for the arrest of Nelson and Jackson. Nelson was arrested in his home; and Jackson was arrested on the morning of January 1, 1968 as he and his family were about to board a Greyhound Bus that was leaving Chicago for Montgomery, Alabama.
Both defendants testified. Jackson claimed an alibi. After saying that he was then on probation for indecent liberties with a child, he testified that on December 29 he arrived home "[a]bout maybe 4:30, 5:00, I should say." When asked, "[W]ere you at the Sears' warehouse in Melrose Park on December 29, 1967?", Jackson answered, "No." He and his family were packing to leave Chicago. He did not leave the house anytime that evening. His wife, Mrs. Gayle Jackson, supported this testimony. She added that she called the Adult Probation Office and spoke with a probation officer who gave Jackson authority to leave the jurisdiction. In rebuttal, the prosecution called Michael Pines, a probation officer who told the jury that authority to leave the State was not given probationers by telephone; rather, such authority was obtained by a court order. Jackson was recalled and he testified that "[a]round October 29 or the 1st of November . . .," he appeared before the judge who admitted him to probation and obtained authority to leave Illinois and go to Alabama.
Nelson testified that in 1954 he was convicted of burglary. He had known Jackson "[m]aybe three or four years." In the evening of December 29, he loaned Ronald Hardman his 1960 Ford. According to Nelson, Hardman called him to come and pick up the car. He borrowed a 1967 Ranch Wagon from his aunt, met Hardman at a bowling alley and then went to "[t]he parking lot by the Sears' warehouse in Melrose Park. . . ." There he saw Schmidt who asked what he was doing there. Nelson said he told Schmidt that Hardman borrowed the Ford earlier and had called him to come and get it. He showed Schmidt the draft card which Schmidt mentioned in his testimony. Nelson testified that when Schmidt asked him to go into the warehouse security office, he refused, sat in his own car and waited for the police to come. After waiting for awhile he left, leaving the car "[i]n the Sears parking lot . . ." since it could not be moved. After hearing the evidence of the parties, the jury found both defendants guilty of burglary.
First, defendants contend that neither the corporate existence of Sears, Roebuck and Co. nor its ownership or possession of the burglarized premises was proved. They argue that reference by witnesses (including defendant Nelson) to "Sears," "Sears and Roebuck," "Sears Corporation," "Sears warehouse," "Sear Distribution Center at 2065 George Street in Melrose Park," "Sears' property," did not prove existence of Sears and Roebuck as a corporation nor its ownership and possession of the place that was burglarized. Defendants cite two cases which they say support their contention. *fn1
These cases, however, were instances in which no evidence was introduced to prove corporate existence or the ownership of the burglarized premises. In the one before us, on the other hand, two prosecution witnesses, without objection, named the injured party and gave the address of the injured property. "The purpose served by alleging the name of the person or property injured is to enable the accused to plead either a formal acquittal or conviction under the indictment in the event of a second prosecution for the same offense." People v. Walker, 7 Ill.2d 158 at 161, 130 N.E.2d 182; People v. Knox, 98 Ill. App.2d 270, 240 N.E.2d 426. It is true, as defendants contend, that where ownership of burglarized premises is alleged to be in a corporation, the legal existence of that corporation is a material fact which must be proved; but proof of corporate existence may be shown by oral testimony if no objection is made to that method of proof. People v. Gordon, 5 Ill.2d 91, 125 N.E.2d 73.
In People v. McGuire, 35 Ill.2d 219, at 231-232, 220 N.E.2d 447, the court said:
We believe that the time has come to re-evaluate the standards of proof established by earlier decisions. In other States, the ordinary rule is that the existence of a corporation may be shown by direct parol evidence. . . . This court's rulings to the contrary have sometimes given criminal trials, in which no corporation was a party, the appearance of a quo warrantor proceeding against the victimized corporation. (See Sykes v. People, 132 Ill. 32, 49-53 (Mr. Justice Magruder, dissenting).) We believe that these rulings are inconsistent "with the spirit that has substituted, in criminal procedure as well as in civil, an interest in the significant rights of the litigants for a ritualistic concern with empty formalities." (People v. Hill, 17 Ill.2d 112, 119.) We therefore hold that in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the existence of a corporation may be shown by the direct oral testimony of a person with knowledge of that fact.
It follows that formal and better proof would have been made if a witness who knew the facts were asked whether Sears, Roebuck and Co. was a corporation and whether it owned the warehouse as alleged in the indictment. However, absence of this kind of precise interrogation is not important because if there was evidence that the injured party was a corporation, and that it owned or possessed the burglarized premises, it is of no moment that a direct question about these facts was not put to a witness. This view is supported by the language in McGuire (35 Ill.2d 219, 220 N.E.2d 447, at 231):
In 1889, the General Assembly provided, "In all criminal prosecutions involving proof of the legal existence of a corporation, user shall be prima facie evidence of such existence." . . . (Now Ill Rev Stats 1967, ch 38, sec 160-1.) This statute foreclosed any holding that the introduction of a corporate charter was the "best evidence" of the corporation's existence and was therefore required. (Compare State v. Merchant, 48 Wn. 69, 92 P. 890, 892.) The statute apparently liberalized the law of evidence at the time of its passage, and it should not, in our opinion, preclude proof of the existence of a corporation by means other than those it specifies.
We conclude that the record of these proceedings contains proof of the essential facts; and the judgments based on them will enable each defendant to plead former conviction in the event of another prosecution for the offense charged in the indictment in this case. Compare People v. Collins and Jones, 123 Ill. App.2d 138, ___ N.E.2d ___.
Second, defendants contend that their constitutional right to confront a witness was violated by the testimony of Officer Belle who was asked:
Q. "What did you do after that?"
A. "After the conversation with Mr. Hardman, we obtained some pictures pertaining to the names that were given to us by Hardman."
Defendants objected and moved to strike this testimony. The trial court sustained the objection, granted the motion to strike and instructed the jury to disregard it. Defendants argue that despite the court's ruling in their favor, Belle's testimony told the jury that Hardman named Nelson and Jackson as his accomplices in the burglary. In support of this argument defendants rely on Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S. 123, 20 L Ed2d 476, 88 S Ct 1620 (1968) and on a number of Illinois cases which hold that a confession or admission made outside the presence of a defendant is not admissible. *fn2
These cases do not support defendants' contention. Belle did not testify to a confession, admission or statement of Hardman's that implicated defendants in any crime. Belle's response to which defendants objected was in part an improper answer to a proper question. People v. Nakutin, 364 Ill. 563, 5 N.E.2d 78; People v. Carson, 341 Ill. 11, 173 N.E. 97. Defendants by their objection and motion obtained the rulings they wanted. The trial judge went further and instructed the jury to disregard Belle's answer. In his instructions the trial judge told the jury they were to disregard any evidence that was stricken. Ordinarily, an instruction to disregard evidence cures error in its admission. People v. Maciejewski, 294 Ill. 390, 128 N.E. 489; and see People v. Garafola, 369 Ill. 232, 16 N.E.2d 741.
Third, defendants contend that the prosecuting attorney's argument to the jury was so prejudicial that it denied them a fair trial. In support of this contention defendants point to two statements made by the prosecutor during closing argument: first, he referred to the automobile owned by the defendant Nelson as "the outfit's car"; and second, he accused Nelson of having told a lie to the Secretary of State in connection with the registration of his 1960 Ford.
[6-8] The first statement was innocuous. The second was not capable of the prejudicial effect defendants attach to it. Furthermore, improper remarks of counsel during closing argument do not constitute reversible error unless they result in substantial prejudice to the accused. People v. Nilsson, 44 Ill.2d 244, 255 N.E.2d 432. Considered in the light of the evidence of guilt presented by the prosecution, it cannot be said that the statements of the prosecuting attorney, complained of by defendants, were a factor in their convictions and that the verdicts against them would have been different had the statements not been made. People v. Nicholls, 42 Ill.2d 91, 100, 245 N.E.2d 771; People v. Harkey, 123 Ill. App.2d 256, ___ N.E.2d ___, and the cases cited. Judgment is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.

San Diego (June 12, 2007)- The nonprofit San Diego Regional Energy Office (SDREO) has changed its name to the California Center for Sustainable Energy and expanded its scope of service to California businesses, public agencies, and residents. The organization's name change and expanded scope responds not only to the growing concern about Climate Change among Californians, but to the escalating need for state-wide leadership to help address transportation emissions and consumers' dissatisfaction with rising fuel prices.
"A recent field poll showed that 80 percent of Californians are concerned about climate change," said Energy Center Executive Director Irene Stillings. "Businesses and consumers are hungry for information on what they can do to assert their energy independence, cut energy costs and help the environment. We are here to help not only with free energy audits, transportation events and related energy efficiency recommendations, but with education, training and that all-important economic stimulus: millions of dollars in rebates and related incentives."
The new California Center for Sustainable Energy has expanded its services to provide energy efficiency expertise, education and rebate program administration in five critical areas: green building, education, renewables – – and now, transportation and climate change.
Green Building: The Energy Center helps businesses and public agencies evaluate their facility design and consumption practices and identify cost-saving opportunities through adoption of energy-efficient technologies and practices (and rebates to help fund them) from concept to installation.
Education: The Energy Center provides San Diegans with a robust complement of free, expert-facilitated workshops (and tool and resource libraries) on topics like green building, solar power and efficient lighting to educate contractors, consultants, businesses and homeowners on how they can become more efficient at work, recreationally and at home.
Renewable Energy: The Energy Center offers professional advice and cost-cutting strategies to help consumers identify, navigate and evaluate their options in deploying renewable, energy-efficient programs and solutions.
Transportation: California is the ninth largest emitter of carbon in the world, and a full third of that carbon comes from fossil-fuel burning vehicles. The Energy Center is committed to educating Californians on the benefits of alternative fuels and vehicles, while affording them financial incentives for contributing to the resolution of California's transportation woes.
Climate Change: The author of the San Diego region's Energy Strategy, the Energy Center collaborates with key government agencies, fellow non-profits, businesses and elected officials to support the community with ideas and resources to equip them to do their respective parts to reduce consumption and deploy technologies and practices to counteract the alarming effects of climate change.
The California Center for Sustainable Energy's 30-person team of energy engineers, program managers, and energy policy gurus have been tapped by the State of California, the Department of Energy, the Department of Forestry, the North American Development Bank and sundry private sector organizations to administer a wide array of incentive programs to stimulate markets for energy efficient technologies and practices. Among those programs are:
State of California Solar Initiative (CSI): The California Center for Sustainable Energy is the only nonprofit in the state to administer CSI. CSI is a $2.1 billion, 10-year statewide program designed to provide rebates to homeowners, businesses, and public agencies that deploy rooftop solar panels to cut energy consumption. The Energy Center is administering nearly $250 million of the allocated $2.1 billion within the San Diego Gas & Electric Service Area.
Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP): The SGIP provides businesses and public agencies with between $25 and $40 million in targeted rebates annually to promote the installation of clean, renewable, on-site power generation systems. Since 2001, the SGIP has provided incentives for more than 15 MW of installed generation capacity (about the equivalent of 11,000 homes), reducing consumers' dependence on the utility grid.
CA Air Resources Board (CARB) Alternative Fuel Vehicle Incentive Program: $1.8 million awarded for a state-wide program providing rebates to businesses, public and governmental agencies and consumers purchasing or leasing electric, fuel-cell, plug-in hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles.
Tax-Exempt Customer Incentive Program (TEC): The $12 million TEC program provides technical and project management assistance to help tax-exempt organizations implement energy-efficiency measures — and to take advantage of available rebates to boot. TEC has the expertise and resources to take projects from concept to successful implementation.
Energy Resource Center: Funded by utility rate payers, the California Center for Sustainable Energy's Energy Resource Center provides free on-site expert-facilitated workshops, interactive technology displays, technical assistance, videos, periodicals and diagnostic tools (via its free lending library) for businesses, facility managers, contractors and the community at large on a broad spectrum of energy topics and implementation strategies, from the latest in heating and cooling (HVAC) and advanced lighting to do-it- yourself, energy-smart remodeling.
Cool Communities Shade Tree Program: The perennially-popular, four-year Cool Communities Program provides free trees to area residents and K-12 schools to shade their homes and facilities, reduce air conditioning use, save energy, and improve air quality. The Home Depot Foundation recently provided a grant to augment this program.
"For more than 10 years, the San Diego Regional Energy Office has served as a trusted, unbiased resource on energy-related topics," said Energy Center Board Chairman John Moot. "The organization has evolved to address demand for information on a more diverse array of issues like climate change, transportation and renewable energy. We felt this was an appropriate time to change our name to reflect our scope of community service — and address demand for state-wide leadership and consumer concerns in these critically- integrated areas."
The California Center for Sustainable Energy (Energy Center) is an independent nonprofit 501c3 dedicated to fostering public policy and administering programs, services, information and forums to facilitate the adoption of clean, reliable, renewable, sustainable, and efficient energy technologies and practices.

Multinational Acquisition Due Week 8 worth 240 points Use Internet research a publically traded U.S. multinational corporation recently acquired multinational corporation. Write a (6-8) page paper: Briefly describe acquisition selected.
Corporate acquisition
The case of Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility
Google Inc. was established in 1998 in California, United States, and has made its presence felt within the IT community through the development of the most popular research engine. Since then however, the company has come to develop several other services, as well as hardware products.
The Google company has implemented a business model based on innovation and centered on the creativity and the important role of people. Still, aside from this, the success of Google is also due to its aggressive growth strategy, through the acquisition of more than one hundred companies in an estimated decade.
Through these acquisitions, Google has gained new talent, access and expertise in numerous other fields, such as blogging, photograph management, maps, operating systems (Android), video sharing (YouTube), chatting, emailing and so on. In 2011, Google acquired American corporation Motorola Mobility in one of the greatest business transactions, with a value of $12,500 million.
Throughout this project then, the focus falls on assessing this particular acquisition at several levels, namely accounting challenges, goodwill, special issues or reporting.
2. The acquisition
Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility was finalized on the 15th of august 2011, and the boards of the two companies have agreed upon a final price of $40 per share. Overall, Google paid $12.5 billion for the transaction and the primary determinant of the business deal was represented by Motorola's commitment to the Android operating system, which determined Google to perceive the partnership as a "natural fit" (Website of Google Inc. 2012).
Additionally, the acquisition of Motorola was stimulated by the complementarity between the two firms. More specifically, Google possessed a competitive advantage in the creation of software, whereas Motorola possessed a competitive advantage in the creation of devices. By combining these two strengths, the new organization would become more competitive within the IT sector.
Overall, the partnership between the two firms is seen as suitable and successful as it would lead to future innovation and development; in such a setting, the IT community would advance and the customers would be presented with better options for devices, especially smart telephones. Additionally, the partnership creates benefits by safeguarding the well-being and future evolution of the Android operating system. In the words of the Google executives, the benefits of the company's acquisition of Motorola Mobility are:
"Google and Motorola Mobility together will accelerate innovation and choice in mobile computing. Consumers will get better phones at lower prices.
Motorola Mobility's patent portfolio will help protect the Android ecosystem. Android, which is open-source software, is vital to competition in the mobile device space, ensuring hardware manufacturers, mobile phone carriers, applications developers and consumers all have choice" (Website of Google Inc., 2012).
3. Accounting requirements and financial statement challenges
Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility is a promising, but also challenging, business endeavor. The newly formed entity would have to respond to a series of challenges in fields such as personnel integration, functional and operational integration or financial integration.
At the level of the financial integration, a first challenge was represented by the necessity for the two organizations to prepare their financial statements in a similar manner. In other words, they had to use the same formats for the financial statements (such as balance sheets, cash flow statements, income statements and others), the same abbreviations and the same amounts of money (e.g. sums in thousands, millions and so on). This requirement was necessary to be fulfilled in order to ensure the integration of the two companies' revenues, debts, assets and liabilities.
In order to ensure this integration and support the future financial reporting stability of the business combination, both Google and Motorola had to comply with the regulations of the 141st statement of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (QFinance). Furthermore, the two entities had to implement the purchase method, through which the assets and liabilities are assessed at their market value at the point of the acquisition. The result of this process is that the liabilities of the combined firm will equal the sum of the liabilities of the two previous firms, yet the drawback is that "it may overrate depreciation charges" (Finance Maps of World).
4. Goodwill and intangible assets
Google Inc.'s decision to purchase Motorola Mobility has been based on a combination of tangible and intangible benefits, observable at both corporate as well as community level. At the level of the corporation for instance, the benefits revolved around hopes for further development and evolution, which would ultimately materialize in improved competitive position and added profitability rates.
Still, aside from the tangible company effects, several intangible gains would be felt as a result of the acquisition. According to the company's 2011 annual report, the goodwill assets had increased from 2010 to 2011 from $6,256 million to $7,346 million. Aside from this however, other intangible benefits are created and some of examples in this sense include the following:
The IT industry would be driven by new innovation and competition, which in turn would materialize in customer gains such as improved product quality or decreased retail prices on the IT devices.
The increased financial success of the company would eventually materialize in higher taxes paid out to the United States government. The federal institution would as such access higher budgets and would be better able to direct these funds in the advantage of the society.
Through the combination of the forces of the two companies, additional benefits would be created for the employees and prospective employees in the IT industry. These would be presented with more employment opportunities, as well as better opportunities for professional development.
5. Consolidation issues
The acquisition of Motorola by Google Inc. has raised numerous consolidation issues within the two firms. In other words, there were numerous challenges to which the combined company had to respond in order to ensure the functionality and operability of the two joined entities.
For instance, each of the two companies had had their own managerial teams, which had been in charge of the companies' business model, strategic direction, vision and any other business decisions. Still, when they joined forces, the managerial team to lead the new entity had to be a single one, and a unified one. In such a setting, the challenge posed revolved around the construction of a new managerial team that would demand the respect of the entire company and would also possess the necessary expertise and skills to lead the larger entity.
Then, another challenge was represented by the need to integrate the staff members. Both Motorola Mobility and Google had their own employees, in charge of specific functions. When the two entities became one, the employees had to be restructured and reorganized. The company then became faced with the need to reassess its talent and its positions and to redesign them.
Another challenge that would have been faced by the newly grown Google company revolved around the need to solve the differences in the central operations of the two firms. Specifically, Google had been specialized in software applications, whereas Motorola Mobility had been specialized in the manufacturing of devices. The two types of expertise were complementary and had to be integrated in order to support the company in attaining its overall objectives.
6. Acquisition reporting differences under IFRS instead of GAAP
At a theoretical level, an important difference would be provided by the ability to select the accounting method used in the accounting of the acquisition. More specifically, the acquisition accounting could have traditionally been completed by either of the purchase method or the pooling of interests method. Still, after 2001, the United States enforced the obligation of all merging firms to use the purchase method; also, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has also made this method complementary across the countries implementing the IASB accounting system (QFinance). In other words, a potential difference would have resulted in the accounting method, but, at the practical level, the U.S. legislation now requires the usage of the same method as the International Accounting Standards Board.
At a more practical level, some notable differences refer to the following:
The value of liabilities in the case of acquisitions is established at market value under both GAAP and IFRS; the initial recognition of the assets under GAAP is also done at market value, whereas in the case of IFRS, the initial recognition of the assets is not completed
At the point of the acquisition, as the point of entity combination under the same control, the GAAP sees that "the receiving entity records the net assets at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferor," whereas in the case of the IFRS, the regulations are less stricter and allow the companies to either implement the GAAP approach, a similar one, or "the acquisition method if there is substance to the transaction"…[continue]

If you were involved in a serious accident we know you have many questions. Here are a few questions we answer routinely for our clients. Additional questions are answered here. Please contact us right away with additional questions or concerns.
1. The police may or may not come to the scene and make a report depending upon how serious the accident is. If no immediate injuries are reported, or if the injuries from the car accident are minor, the police may only day an exchange of driver info. You should try to insist that a police report be made because there will be details in the report that are important and also the report will shore up what happened as the defendant will typically change his story after the accident.
2. All witnesses are important and information must be obtained on the spot. Witnesses disappear after the accident and can be difficult to get a hold of. Witnesses can make or brake a case and sometimes mystery witnesses show up well after the accident occurred so getting all witness information on the scene is important. Pictures of the scene at the time of the accident are very important because the defense always tries to change their story. Pictures should be taken immediately of the position of all cars and the road and any signs or lights involved. If you were injured in the accident seek appropriate medical care at the hospital at once and let somebody else take the necessary pictures and get witness information.
3. Don't communicate with insurance, especially the other sides. Insurance companies will want to take your recorded statement as soon as possible to box you into whatever you tell them. They are trained to attempt to mess you up, ask ambiguous questions and otherwise get you to hurt your own case by saying things that may not be accurate which they can hold against you later. Thus, you should not speak to the other side without the benefit of a lawyer advising you. It's best if the lawyer communicates for you.
4. Contact an attorney as soon as possible after the accident. We will get in touch with witnesses, complete an investigation, speak to insurance for you and make sure your legal rights are protected. Insurance companies have gotten increasingly difficult to deal with so we are eager to file suit for you to enforce your rights in court where they will be held to the fire to do the right thing. Without court, insurance has no pressure or desire to make it right.
A very important factor in the value equation is the true nature and extent of permanent injury, if any exists. A permanent injury, for life of the injured person, should have a significant financial value even if the medical bills are not significant. For example, a broken arm. The medical bills for a broken arm that heals will probably be low, but the pain and suffering from the broke are significant. Therefore, the bills versus the value of the case are not fairly related.
This is where many lawyers and insurance companies get side tracked and fail to understand the true value of a their client's case. The insurance company continues to bang away saying the case has X value (which is always under valued) so an experienced lawyer must look for permanent injury, must properly document that injury and then must present it properly to a jury in order to recover fair and appropriate compensation for the injuries suffered by the client. At Robinson & Associates, this is what we look for and develop from day one when you come to the office.
Once all the medical documentation is collected it must then be reviewed by the attorney and a settlement demand issued to the insurance company including your bills and reports. Once that happens, the insurance company generally takes 30-60 days, depending on the nature of the case, to review the medical records and the demand in order to make an offer of settlement. Once an offer is made, it is always low and negotiations begin. If the initial offer is too low and not in the right ball park it may be a telegraph that suit needs to be filed.
Insurance companies have become very stingy over the last decade so if you want full and fair value for the injuries you sustained, then you may have to consider filing suit and going to court. The good news regarding court is you will probably get something closer to fair value for your injury case but the bad news it will take longer to resolve. District Court is fairly quick from the time suit is filed until your court date, but Circuit Court, which is a good option for bigger cases, will generally tack on a year to your case.
Thus, there are many variables that effect how quickly your case will resolve and it's really a case by case analysis. Our attorneys will explain your best options under the circumstances of your individual case.
The Pip money is "no fault" money meaning it does not matter whose fault the accident was, the money is available for you to use and it comes from your own insurance company. Additionally, using PiP benefits is not a black mark on your insurance policy so you can use it freely without concern that your rates will go up. This means even though the other person hit you and the accident is completely their fault, you should still make a claim for PiP with your own insurance company in order to get the first $2,500 of your bills paid or in order to recover lost wages up to the amount of your PiP coverage. This money does not have to be paid back at the end of the case, it is "free" money for you that you contracted for when you bought your insurance policy with PiP coverage. You should not waive this coverage when you get insurance as it is quite useful following an accident and inexpensive to purchase. Contact us if you have additional questions regarding PiP and it's uses.
Contingency fee means the lawyer or law firm only gets paid a fee when your case is successfully concluded and compensation is received. If there is no recovery in a case, then there is no fee.
Some lawyers may charge an hourly rate to handle a personal injury case or they may charge the expenses of the case to the client so that means they will be paid irrespective of the outcome of the case. At Robinson & Associates have are confident in the work that we do so we handle all accident and medical malpractice cases on a contingency basis- we do not get paid for our work unless you get paid for your injuries.
All car insurance policies in Maryland carry uninsured and under insured motorist coverage specifically for this purpose. So if you are in a car accident with an uninsured driver, you still have coverage. Also, if the car accident was not your fault, then your insurance will no go up for using it under these circumstances.
Alternatively, if liability or fault for the accident is clear, you can go directly to the defendant's insurance carrier and have them fix the car.
Thus, you have two choices how to proceed.
