Will a legal grow op sprout in Windsor?
Rules to change for medicinal pot
Doug Schmidt, The Windsor StarPublished: Friday, March 22, 2013
A local businessman hopes Windsor can jump in on the ground floor of a Canadian industry so new it hasn't even started yet, but one which has already caught the attention of police and other authorities.
City council this week received notification that a private application is being made to Health Canada for establishment of a commercial production and distribution facility for medical marijuana, with a location identified in the Windsor Industrial Park north of the airport lands.
Because the proposal is at a very preliminary stage, and due in part to the nature of the controlled drug involved, Norm Marcoux was reluctant to divulge too many details.
Health Canada currently issues marijuana growing and harvesting licences to thousands of individuals approved by their physicians.
Associated Press Files
His letter sent to city CAO Helga Reidel, and copied to Windsor's police and fire chiefs, is marked "private and confidential," but administration included it in this week's regular council communications package.
"I'm just looking at this like a business person - it's a very unique opportunity," Marcoux told The Star.
Health Canada currently issues marijuana growing and harvesting licences to thousands of individuals approved by their physicians to use the drug for pain and other medical treatment. But the federal agency has announced that by next March it plans to have a new licensing program in place that will take the marijuana growing and harvesting privileges away from the individual users and consolidate them into a system of commercial production.
Distribution would be similar to other controlled drugs, with users, rather than do-it-yourself, obtaining a doctor's prescription and then purchasing the medical marijuana from a commercial supplier.
"There have been instances where this program has been open to abuse," Health Canada spokesman Stephane Shank said of the current program. "We're now setting up rules and regulations ... for the creation of a new industry," he added.
The final regulatory details for the new system to replace one set up more than a decade ago are still being developed, but Shank said Health Canada has begun accepting applications from interested potential commercial producers. One of the first requirements for applicants under the new Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) is giving advance notification to local municipal, police and fire authorities.
In his notification to the city, Marcoux, who identifies himself as applicant and "senior person in charge," writes that a licence will be sought for the following activities: to "possess, produce, provide, ship, deliver, transport and destroy marijuana."
Marcoux, who has an MBA from the University of Windsor, said he has spent years putting together business plans and currently operates a ma-chine shop that employs 30. He said he was "very skeptical" when first approached privately to look into this new venture but that he soon realized it was "an excellent idea that could bring lots of jobs."
Marijuana, the product at the centre of any such new enterprise, however, is listed under Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Those interested in getting involved must pass muster with criminal background and other checks, and Health Canada's Shank said a high level of security will be expected, as well as the need for detailed records of all transactions.

Life is messy. It's even messier if you own livestock. One task livestock owners often dread is having to make the decision to euthanize an animal.
As a responsible animal owner or one who cares for livestock, it is important to have the proper equipment on hand and to know how to humanely euthanize an animal when it is deemed necessary.
The term euthanasia is derived from the Greek terms "en" and "thanatos." Together they mean "good death." An American Veterinary Medical Association paper on the subject of euthanasia states, "If an animal's life is to be taken, it is done with the highest degree of respect and distress-free as possible."
Scientists accept and have documented animals experience pain, distress, breathlessness, thirst, hunger, nausea, sickness, anxiety and fear. J.K. Shearer, professor and dairy Extension veterinarian, explains further.

text: HL Robert, Greetings and welcome to the Barony! Which part of the area are you located? We seem to have 'clusters' scattered throughout the various cities within the Barony. My family for instance is in the Silverlake area of Pearland. If you haven't been to the website yet let me provide the link for you :) http://loch-soilleir.ansteorra.org/ You will find a monthly calendar and guild information on the site as well as contact information for Their Serpentine Excellencies as well as the Baronial officers. If you fight chivalric or rapier, we have a weekly practice with Stargate at the University of Houston downtown campus - further information is located under the 'guild' section of the website. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help get you settled into the area. Regards, Ld. Fergus Stout Virtual Scribe Barony of Loch Soilleir ----- Original Message ---- From: Croaker <wolfoc at sbcglobal.net> To: Loch Soilleir List <loch-soilleir at lists.ansteorra.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 8, 2007 12:37:49 PM Subject: [Loch-soilleir] Greetings Greetings, My name is HL Robert Carmichael and I am new to your barony. I had the pleasure in meeting some of you this past weekend at Guardian and really enjoyed myself at this event. To tell you a little about myself, I play 1100 Scottish persona that lives in the lowlands of Scotland. I started playing in 1990 in Meridies with a friend that introduced me to the SCA. I was unable to play that often due to school and my military obligation (was a Corpsman in the Navy). I started playing in Ansteorra with Eldern Hills while stationed at Ft. Sill, OK (Army). Afterwards I moved to Arlington, TX and was an active member of Elfsea. Due to some personal reasons I had to move back to Meridies (Florida) for a short time and now I'm back home in Ansteorra. I have served in several different positions within the Chirurgeonate, have autocrated some events, and have worked as an officer in the past within the baronies that I have been with. I am a Protégée to Master Lucais du Belier, a Mentor Chirurgeon, and a member of House Wolfstar. The awards that I carry are an AoA, Crane, and Star of Merit for my work in the chirurgeonate field. I have attended several Gulf Wars (been going since V), an Estrella, but have not been to a Pennsic or Lilies yet. I have also been given a nick name that has stuck with me since my original move to Ansteorra. Fun part of it is most people actually know me more by it then by my actual SCA name. So anyone can call me "Croaker", Robert, or by any means along those lines and I will answer to it. Not sure if I missed anything or have said to much, lol. I will say that I really enjoyed this past weekend event and the members of the populace that made me feel welcomed to the barony. I hope that I can be of service to the barony in the future and hope to meet everyone that I may have missed this past weekend. In Service to the Dream, HL Robert Carmichael, CSM commonly known as "Croaker" _______________________________________________ Loch-soilleir mailing list Loch-soilleir at lists.ansteorra.org http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/loch-soilleir-ansteorra.org

New Software Duplicates Keys With Photo Taken From 200 Feet
Startled by the number of folks who inadvertently post images of their keys online, the researchers designed the software in order to demonstrate the ease with which a potential thief could gain access to a house or car. They hope that folks will exercise the same vigilance with photos of their house keys that they do with their credit card and Social Security numbers.
Would-be thieves be warned, though: that car whose key you just copied might just turn right back around and bite you. [From: Slashdot]

Even if you are reading this in one of the country's bafflingly common 3G blindspots, even if your internet has been down for 48 hours, indeed even if you are currently dead, the chances are that you've come across the word Kony recently. Over the past week it has been instantly turned into one of the world's leading 'memes' by a viral campaign of stunning efficiency, and the momentum is building and building as people talk about it all over Twitter (millions of users), Facebook (tens of millions of users, probably), and to a lesser extent this blog (me). It's the kind of thing that could, in days gone by, only be achieved by a months or years-long process of teasers, name-checking, and eventually concerted PR spending or celebrity endorsement. Make Poverty History was a fairly recent example (as was the promotion of Gabbo in the 'Simpsons', in probably the funniest half-hour of television ever made). But even Make Poverty History, with its little wristbands and Dido performance, looks old-fashioned now. Today, a single word like Kony can go from zero to infinite global coverage in literally hours. It's one of the things that make the internet exhilarating and terrifying at the same time.
This is one of the biggest ever examples.
Who or what is Kony? This is a very quick summary for anyone who has avoided googling or otherwise learning it, by some astounding effort.
In short, he (Joseph Kony) is a guerrilla leader in Uganda who, with his group the LRA, is trying to establish theocratic rule (that is, living by God's commandments, although not as Christians we know would recognise them) by a long campaign of brutality against Ugandan civilians. Among his many crimes are the abductions of a large number of children. A group called Invisible Children has made a 30-minute video about this, and it's this video which has been the figurehead of their online invasion of the world. It's been watched by, so far, about ten million people including me. Once I've published this, the figure is expected to rise to ten million and three. The video's stated aim is to raise awareness of Kony's atrocities by 'making him famous'. The internet age's key innovation – instant fame – used as a weapon against a malevolent lunatic. Good idea, right?
By the time I came back from my show yesterday evening, around 20 people had asked me to re-tweet support for Kony 2012, which had already been endorsed – seemingly just in the time I'd been out of my hotel – by all sorts of luminaries, most crucially Minchin. I normally try and adopt Minchin's opinions more or less unedited because it saves the effort of losing an argument to him further down the line. I was all set to do a blog throwing my tiny weight behind this crusade. Then I noticed Minchin, and a number of others, had posted cautionary notes saying that there were various caveats. The organisation that made the video has had various questions raised about its fundraising and its other procedures. Others were saying that it was actually dangerous to try and unseat someone like Kony without offering a viable alternative; Western intervention like this has a history of grandly fucking up already volatile areas. Still others were asking why this faddish cause was obsessing everyone when similar causes have been neglected, are being neglected, all the time. And even more people were sneering that this is really just 'slacktivism', people clicking on a link or adding to an e-petition or writing KONY 2012 on a toilet wall, and then sitting back and going 'right, that's sorted'. 'Something is not always better than nothing,' says one blog comment among a few thousand I've read this afternoon. 'Sometimes, it's worse than nothing.'
I was confused. I ducked out of getting involved. I went to bed.
By the time I had woken up, this topic was so big that I'm pretty sure I heard my laptop whimper when I typed in the word. The primary debate about whether the anti-Kony campaign was a worthwhile cause or a shallow/possibly even harmful fashion, and a kind of metadiscussion about whether merely discussing things does actually help, or not. Because that basically seems to be what these people want. They want everyone in the world to be talking about Kony. They reckon that if that happens, there is a greater chance of eventual justice, and eventual peace or relative peace for the people of Uganda, than if we were all in ignorance of the subject like a week ago. Awareness is their goal. It seems a pretty reasonable goal. Yet there is a very strong counter-argument. The more it gets discussed, the more confused the issues become; the more uninformed people hitch a ride on it, the more casual tweeting and blogging there is, in some ways the further we get from understanding the issues at stake. People spend years and years acquainting themselves with the complexities of countries like Uganda. For those people it's not just alarming but sometimes seems counter-productive when suddenly the world shows up and goes 'hey, just heard about your problem! Here's several million quid and 34,000 different solutions we've come up with! Do you have broadband here by the way, so I can check my Likes?'
I've tended to be one of these people who dabble in issues, which is why I'm trying to get a proper grip on this one. I'm still not sure, after extensive reading, what I think. But here's what I THINK I think.
The bottom line is surely that, if we the world's population have a finite amount of collective attention, and a billion things to choose from, it's better if we all focus on things like global (or in this case local) injustice than watching Youtube clips of animals (charming as Fenton the dog undeniably was). Of course the choice is not quite as polar as that, but it's close. If you are watching the Pussycat Dolls online, you probably are not thinking about what might be done in Uganda. If you're watching this video, you are. Maybe you're thinking about it in a wrongheaded way, maybe you're a bull in a china shop, maybe you do 'get involved' for ten seconds and then congratulate yourself and go to the pub, as critics of social media always make out. But you're thinking about an important thing, which you wouldn't have been thinking about. Millions of people are now discussing something which they wouldn't even have known about. Surely awareness is better than ignorance, isn't it, even if many of the side-effects of that awareness are unhelpful? Isn't it?
And yes, charities are often a bit inefficient, some of them may indeed be incompetently or cynically managed; Invisible Children does appear to have some questions to answer, which you can look up and form your own opinions about. But if, like a couple of commenters on the article I've linked to, you're writing 'these guys are scammin' or 'stupid people, this is just for money', you've got to be pretty bloody sure that you are easy in your conscience that you couldn't do ANYTHING to help. You're cool with dreadful things happening in Africa because you are a hundred percent certain your money, activism, effort wouldn't make a difference. When I was in Senegal with Action Aid, looking at the buildings they'd built and the communities they'd enabled to feed themselves, I kept thinking back to people at home going 'yeah, but charities waste x percent of your money on their overheads, the money never goes to the actual poor, etc' – which you hear all the time. I'm convinced, since that trip, that this is baby-out-with-bathwater thinking. Sure, some charities (though not Action Aid) are poorly organised, blunder around, try to impose solutions which don't fit with communities. Yes, some organisations could use their funds better. Does that mean it would have been better not to build those wells, those schools? This is a parallel situation. Most of the world has far more eagerness to help than it does actual expertise. Does that mean we shouldn't bother at all?
Maybe social networking is, as an enormous amount of conservative commentators seem to believe, just the ultimate self-indulgence of our time: just hipsters getting interested in something for twelve seconds, setting up a Tumblr page (fuckyeahcharity) and moving on. Maybe nothing good actually gets achieved by all the tweeting and blogging and the rest of it, because in the end international and even local politics are too intractable and best left to the experts. The evidence of, say, Egypt seems to suggest otherwise, but even though Twitter (in particular) has claimed some enormous successes, who am I to know how much a revolution REALLY hangs on the massive spread of online 'awareness', and how much it's really down to factors I don't understand?
But I really want to believe that the internet's massive potential for harnessing international cooperation is capable of doing great things, and that some sort of great thing could come out of this. I reckon that exploiting the power of the internet to do good is one of the main ways in which our generation can leave a useful legacy, because we're the first humans to have this technology in our hands. If nothing else, this Kony business proves that everyone can get involved to some degree with issues that were previously well out of our reach. It will be interesting to see whether that ultimately gets us anywhere. I feel like it should.
I've written this not so much to express a position as to encourage you, the few people I have influence over, to think this through yourselves. On the same page of the online newspaper where I first read about this, the next story down was 'Jolie suffers after Oscar dress humiliation'. I'm not suggesting if you don't read about Kony, you're likely to fill your head with vacuous gossip. But I do think to some degree that is the kind of choice everyone faces every day when logging onto the internet. Perhaps however this turns out, more people will think about going for Africa not Angelina. Or maybe not. But it's on. Let's see.
PS Since (a) this is complicated, and (b) I've had to write it fast, and (c) I am sometimes dense, I apologise for any factual errors it contains. Thanks.

A hierarchically porous bioactive glass of composition 80 mol % SiO2 and 15 mol % CaO (MBGH) was synthesized using pluoronic P123 and glucose-derived amorphous carbon spheres as templates. While the carbon spheres leave behind pores of 300 nm to a few micrometers after calcination, the walls of these pores contain orderly arranged mesopores of 3−5 nm orchestrated by the pluoronic polymer. The role of carbon spheres is not only to create pores but also to aid in increased growth rate of hydroxycarbonate apatite in simulated body fluid (SBF). The negatively charged carbon spheres favor the local enrichment of calcium ions and facilitate the formation of amorphous calcium phosphate around the surface. On calcination, the walls of the macropores contain crystalline hydroxycarbonate apatite nuclei. MBGH also exhibits an accelerated growth of monoclinic-like apatite in SBF. The in vitro activity has been studied by XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, and TEM.

|All that is left in the living room is the sunlight and our memories.
"Let's make a list," he said on the way to the Mahane Yehuda shuq, our local market. "First: quinoa."
"Quinoa? Why quinoa?!" At the time, I was unsure of how to spell the word in my head. That is how you know we missed out on the required post-graduate years of American yuppiness.
"Because I want to feel hip."
Alright, then.
The shopkeeper asks how much quinoa we want. "Enough for two portions," Elijah responds. This is the smallest quantity in which anyone has ever gone food shopping in Jerusalem's market. "We only have enough time left for two portions exactly."
Two portions is the loneliest number.
Later that night, I watch him prepare a quinoa tabbouleh salad because, if you are going to feel like culinary hipsters, it might as well be regionally-inspired hipsters. Diced tomatoes, chopped cucumbers, cilantro, cheese, a dash of lemon. A side of guacamole, for those of us with stretchy hearts that are always missing other foods and other places. We eat our quinoa tabbouleh on the bed, since most of the other furniture is already gone. Moving house is the sound of your voices echoing on the walls.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- President Obama visited Florida Thursday for the first time since the first presidential debate, where he was criticized in some circles for not going after Gov. Mitt Romney hard enough. He made a campaign stop at the University of Miami on Thursday afternoon.
During his campaign appearance, the President routinely jabbed at Romney's record and policies.
"You wouldn't know this by listening to the new, latest version of Mitt Romney. He's trying to go through an extreme makeover," said President Obama.
President Obama told his supporters that electing Mitt Romney would only return the country to what he believes were failed policies of past Republican administrations.
"And he's counting on the fact that you don't remember that what he's selling is what got us into this mess in the first place," said the President.
The criticism was not the only topic for the President at his campaign stop apperance, he also ran down several of his own successes, including ending the war in Iraq, capturing Osama Bin Laden and starting to reverse the economic downturn.
President Obama's statements, especially in regards to young people, got the strongest applause.
"I believe that we can make sure that every young person in America gets the education they need to compete," said President Obama.
The President will be back in Florida on October 22 to face Gov. Mitt Romney in the final presidential debate.

Consumer Cellular, a small company, was the top-rated provider in Consumer Reports' just-published survey of its subscribers. Among the big-name providers, Verizon Wireless earned the highest score. Sprint has fallen to the bottom of the ratings, with low marks for value, voice, text, and 4G reliability.
Looking for ways to save on your cell bill? Consumer Reports has advice.
"Between my wife's and my cell phone, we're paying close to 200 dollars a month."
"Of course, it's ridiculous. It's absolutely insane. But you can't live without a cellular phone."
It's an expense nearly everyone puts up with, but Consumer Reports says there are several ways to save.
"The traditional two-year contract may not be the best choice for value. Initially you get a big discount on the phone you pick. But moderate users may be paying a lot more for service compared to a prepaid plan." said Rosalind Tordesillas of Consumer Reports.
Consumer Reports' staffer Monique Little cut her monthly bill by more than half switching to a prepaid plan.
"It saves me about 100 dollars a month." said Little.
In a recent survey of more than 58-thousand Consumer Reports subscribers, prepaid Straight Talk earned high marks. The company advertises unlimited talk, text, and data for 45 dollars a month.
Even if you're in a traditional contract, a good way to save is to check your bill to make sure you aren't paying for more data than you use.
Tordesillas said, "Of the people we surveyed with a monthly data allowance, nearly 40 percent reported using no more than half of it."
But if you usually burn through your data allowance, rein in those data hogs — streaming video, music, and gaming.
Another tip — make sure your
Wi-Fi connection is always activated, which lets you surf and stream for free in Wi-Fi areas. But never use an insecure connection for sensitive tasks like making purchases or paying bills.
Consumer Reports also advises checking to see whether your employer participates in discount plans with any of the big nationwide cell-phone carriers. You can find out by searching for "employee discounts" on your provider's website.

Green Home Predictions That Are Best Poised to Come True in 2014 and Beyond (guest post)
Today, a guest post on the green design issues that are becoming realities from Penny Olmos, who is associated with Holloway Houston, Inc. a leading industrial lifting equipment manufacturing company. Welcome, Penny!
The scorching heat singed us and the winter wave chilled us — more than ever before. What are we heading to? Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, tornadoes and extreme temperatures? Mother Nature is warning us in myriad ways. And the good news is that we are heeding her calls after long. Saving our natural resources and going green has found many takers. We have seen many eco-friendly homes and buildings designed and created in the last decade. Green homes are here to stay. We look at the popular green home design and construction trends in 2014 that are about to transform the landscape of green realty.
Rise of Net Zero Energy Homes
It seemed impossible until a couple of years ago but 2014 will witness a rise in net zero energy homes. These are homes with zero net energy consumption. The total amount of energy used by these buildings annually equals the amount of renewable energy created on the property. This is the greenest and the most energy efficient house you can possess. And you do not need to cut down on any of your comforts. There are heating, cooling, entertainment and utility appliances functioning in the house like they would in any other home.
The only difference is that it happens much more efficiently. Air source heat pumps are becoming the choice of heating and cooling in such green houses. Solar photovoltaic systems that are installed on the roof function to cover all energy use in the house including charging of electric cars. Zero energy homes are being sold in states with an abundance of sunlight and solar energy like Arizona, Texas and California.
Use of Micro-Windmills
Solar energy-powered homes have taken the realty market by storm, but the trend to watch out for this year will be micro-windmills. These are so small that ten of them can be accommodated on a grain of rice. But do not underestimate these tiny wonders. These micro-mills harness the air for electricity. They are very cost-effective. These nano windmills will soon power entire homes. Their developers claim these tiny wonders can be mounted on the walls of the home to harvest air motion and derive cheap and quick energy.
Smart Collection of Energy Usage Data
All those interested in having a green home need to first determine their energy consumption and where is it being used. The smart thermostat is going to be a key feature in a lot of energy-efficient green homes where owners want minimum wastage of energy.
These devices can transmit accurate live data about energy usage via your smartphone and help you monitor it as well. Thus the homeowner is equipped to configure all appliances in a way that uses minimum energy. Another reason smart thermostats will find their way into many eco-friendly homes in 2014 is the drastic drop in the price of their hardware.
Energy-Efficient Lighting and Heating
Natural light is going to be one of the key realizations of green living in 2014. Architects, Interior designers and homeowners are putting a lot of thought into deciding the number of windows to make and their best placement, so as to allow maximum light into the house. The right windows can be an equally good source of the much-needed winter heat. Install windows with a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.55 to allow maximum heat to pass through your windows.
Another easy step towards a green home is switching from single pane windows to double or triple glazed windows. They will reduce the heat entering the building and consequently the energy consumed by the AC.
For homes where natural light availability is difficult, tubular skylights are an effective and energy-efficient source. Tubular skylights transmit sunlight into the house through roof openings. Tubular lighting also works for providing natural light to the basement and to the first floor of a two-story building. Most tubular daylight devices are equipped with optional dimmers that allow you to control the degree of light in the room. You can dim these energy-efficient lights as and when you like.
Production of energy exhaustive incandescent lights is set to drop in 2014. Developers, interior designers, and home owners are all turning to LED lighting. Investing in LED lights is not just about going green but also about saving the green in your pocket. Home design experts say that built-in LED ceiling lighting can illuminate the whole room. You can say goodbye to those energy consuming bulky ceiling lights and lamps.
Changes in water heating standards, made in the year 2014, will make them even more efficient. Jeff Wilson, HGTV host and author of The Greened House Effect, says that replacement of "incandescent light bulbs and reform in water heating measures alone will save billions of dollars and enormous amount of pollution."
Radiant Barrier Roof Panels
If there are ways to reduce heating costs, those that cut cooling costs cannot be far behind. Radiant barrier roof panels are extremely energy-efficient. This type of solar board roof sheathing can reduce your air-conditioning requirements by half a ton. There are many radiant barrier roof panel installation systems in the market that eliminate the need for felt paper, making the building process even more environment-friendly.
These roof panels are an attractive option for both the builders and the homeowners. Builders save money on the HVAC equipment and homeowners save on energy costs.
There will be more green homes in USA than ever before as more people take an interest in healthy living and proper utilization and conservation of all available resources. Thinking of going green? Include energy efficient and water saving devices in your homes. Make use of solar and wind energy, bring down your bills, and prevent environmental pollution and degradation.
Thanks Penny for your thoughts. Another option, particularly for commercial ventures, is a green roof system such as those provided by XeroFlor America (headquartered in Durham) which uses pre-vegetated mats. (disclosure: XeroFlor America is a friend of the Firm.)
Your turn. What green design do you like? Have you considered? Share in the comment section or drop me an email.

Emergency Bridge Repairs at Bonner Bridge (News Note)
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has shut down Bonner Bridge on the Outer Banks this week due to emergency safety concerns. The life safety issues were discovered after routine sonar scanning identified excessive scouring (i.e., sand erosion) on the support structures of the bridge.
The bridge, erected in 1963, is the only road over Oregon Inlet, so the NCDOT is providing extended ferry service during the bridge repairs, which could take as long as 90 days.
The Bonner Bridge has been slated for replacement for several years following damage from Hurricane Irene, but legal challenges from environmental groups as to the location of the replacement have prevented DOT from breaking ground on a $215.8 million repair contract.
As of midday on Friday, December 6th, NCDOT engineers report the following:
· The dredge is on location and the anchors are set.
· The crew has been developing ideas on alternate discharge pattern/configurations etc.
· The Army Corps of Engineers 404 & DENR Water Quality Permits are issued.
· Permit modification for enlarged discharge area to allow flexibility in using the tides & attack angles to assist in filling scour holes has just been issued.
To follow the dredging and emergency repair efforts, go to the NCDOT website and Facebook pages.
To read the positions and concerns of the environmental groups related to the bridge replacement, go to the Southern Environmental Law Center's webpage.
Your turn: Now that the bridge is back in the news, what is your opinion as to where the replacement bridge should be located? Do the environmental groups' contentions have merit? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

How is that possible? State Law variations can snag you! (law note)
Today I'm guest posting over on Construction Law Musings. My post, entitled "You Mean They Can Do That?" discusses the fact that there are different legal hurdles that can present challenges to your Architecture or Engineering Firm when you venture across state lines.
As I state in the post, just as licensing issues and building codes differ, so too do the laws. Your best defense? A good offense. Get help specifically tailored to the new state up front so you won't get pinched later on. In other words, don't be a cheapskate!

Infrastructure Defects: ASCE's Report Card (Spoiler: America gets a D+) (news note)
How many bridges do you drive over on your way to work each day? Probably a bunch, if you have the typical commute of 32 round trip miles per day. Now, how many of them are *not* structurally sound? Probably more than you realize.
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has just released its American Infrastructure Report Card. Overall, the nation scored a miserable overall D+. Here's the breakdown for the Transportation categories:
|Inland Waterways
In the breakout for North Carolina,
- 2,192 of the 18,165 (12.1%) bridges in North Carolina are considered structurally deficient.
- 3,296 of the 18,165 (18.1%) bridges in North Carolina are considered functionally obsolete.
The report has a ton of interactive information, including a nation-wide county by county deficient bridges look up, identifying infrastructure defects in detail. Currently, much of the planned infrastructure improvements is in limbo while the sequester is in effect. However, our nation's system of deficient bridges must be a priority. Will it take another event similar to Minnesota's I-35 bridge collapse before we fix our nation's infrastructure? Let's hope not.
Your turn. What are your thoughts about the current infrastructure of America's roads and bridges?
Engineering for the Earthquake- Dumbarton Bridge (News Note)
Engineers who design in earthquake-prone areas know that they need to design the seismic loads of their bridges to account for potential massive shifts during a quake. (This is what is legally known as the professional standard of care, which takes into account what similar engineers, in the same conditions and community, would consider acceptable design)**. The Dumbarton Bridge, the farthest south bridge across the San Francisco Bay, is no exception to this rule.
Currently, the Dumbarton Bridge is being renovated as part of the San Francisco Bay Area Toll Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program. When the bridge is finished (expected in early 2013), the bridge will increase its ability to move from 20 inches of lateral movement to as much as 42 inches of lateral movement.
The retrofit includes friction pendulum bearings designed by Earthquake Protection Systems, Inc., which will isolate the superstructure from two pier structures where the main span of the bridge meets the approach structures. A concrete taper will be used from the joints to the main span to ease the transition, as the approach span is 5 inches lower than the main span.
According to Earthquake Protection Systems president Victor Zayas, in a statement to Roads & Bridges magazine, the most critical part of the bearing is the bottom lining, which is a self-sacrificing, solid-lubricant polymer composite that was developed based on earlier research done by NASA in the 1960s.

|Item 1 of Series Emerich Grinbaum
|An interview with Emerich Grinbaum, a Holocaust survivor, conducted by Dr. Sidney Bolkosky, Professor of History at the University of Michigan—Dearborn. Mr. Grinbaum was born in Munkacs, Czechoslovakia in 1930. After the Hungarian annexation of Munkacs in 1938, Emerich, along with his father, mother and brother experienced increased anti-Semitism under the Hungarians. In 1944, Germany invaded Hungary and the Grinbaum family was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Emerich's mother was gassed upon arrival and after less than a week in Birkenau, Emerich, his father and brother were shipped to a labor camp just outside of Warsaw, Poland. In August, 1944, the three were sent to Dachau. In Dachau, Emerich's father became ill and was sent to the camp hospital. During this period, Emerich and his brother were sent to one of Dachau's satellite camps, Allach. In Allach, Emerich worked on several labor Kommandos, including the BMW factory and as a potato peeler in the camp kitchen. While in Allach, Mr. Grinbaum's father was reunited with him and his brother and placed in a block for elderly people. In April 1945, the three were placed aboard and train and shipped to an unknown destination. While en route, the German's abandoned the train and the three walked to a nearby village where they were liberated by the American Army. After liberation, they returned to Munkacs, now under Soviet rule as part of the Ukraine. Mr. Grinbaum studied medicine under the Soviets. He emigrated to the United States in the 1960s.

Reviews for Love Coconut
Average rating: 4.2 out of 5 hearts
By Frankie on February 13, 2013
Light and Breezy
I appreciate the fact that it doesn't smell like suntan lotion; however, it evaporates very quickly. This scent lasts longer than Sexy Angelic but still tends to disappear faster than expected.
By Sarah on November 23, 2012
Unusual, expected, earthy, warm, subtle, sophisticated.
It took me awhile to get used to this scent, but it's growing on me more and more. It's not like any other fragrance I've tried. I like it more after it's warmed to my skin, about 5 minutes after spritzing it on. The coconut is earthy and 'raw', not too sweet, thankfully. My 7 year old son noticed the scent when I walked by and commented, "You smell like you've been somewhere warm!". Not bad! Most importantly, my husband who is picky with scents, likes it too! It might seem like a risk to get it without smelling it first, but I am happy with it. Definitely more of a warm weather scent though.

Tropical, beachy, delicious
Tropical, beachy, delicious! My new scent!

love love love the coconut
Definitly the best coconut fragrance!
By Taryn on July 2, 2012
Takes your nose on vacation
This is a beautiful fragrance – I was worried the coconut was going to be too sun-tan lotion-like, but it's got more than a just a sweet coconut twang. There's other subtle notes mixed in there that give it depth and dimension. Definitely a delicious fragrance that takes my nose on a tropical vacation every time I spray it on.
Size: 50mL/1.6fl.oz.

While faced with the possibility that the Mayan calendar would spell doom for the world at some point Friday, Jon Daniels continued to burn the midnight oil.His task as general manager of the Texas Rangers is to put together the 2013 team, a process that so far to some has looked a little bit like the end of the world.The Rangers' top two free-agent targets, Zack Greinke and Josh Hamilton, took the big bucks from the Los Angeles area.Possible trades for James Shields and Justin Upton fizzled after the Rangers refused to include shortstops Jurickson Profar and Elvis Andrus.Ian Kinsler has been approached about possibly playing first base.Players and/or their agents have expressed concern about the off-season to Daniels, who insisted that the winter planning is far from over and is steadfast in his belief that the Rangers will be a good team in 2013."Guys want to know that we haven't changed our goals and our focus, and we definitely haven't," Daniels said."First of all, we're not done. Second of all, our team is going to be good, health permitting. Once we've had a chance to talk to the guys, I think they understand that."Daniels' primary focus is on two areas: up the middle and in trying not to get caught up in the race to be baseball's champion of the off-season.The perfect example is free-agent catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who agreed to a one-year, $7.5 million deal and passed his physical Friday. But because of the holiday, the club won't announce the deal until after Christmas.The Rangers needed a veteran catcher and a left-handed hitter, and Pierzynski is coming off the best season of his career.But he will be 36 on Opening Day. Giving a three- or four-year contract to an aging catcher would have been viewed as a knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Greinke and Hamilton, but a one-year deal made sense for the team.Daniels is walking the delicate line of trying to not be reactionary while trying to make the right moves."You just take a step back and try to make good baseball decisions," Daniels said. "Reactionary moves usually don't wind up very well."We've never set out to win the off-season. It's pretty meaningless at the end of the day to make headlines in the fall and the winter. That doesn't have a lot of value to us."Daniels and his staff are also trying to figure out the best thing to do with the players already on the roster.That's where Kinsler, Andrus and Profar come in.Though Kinsler has expressed a willingness to play first base, the Rangers haven't made the final call on that. Manager Ron Washington said two weeks ago that Kinsler is the Rangers' second baseman.There is an expectation that Profar is ready to contribute every day, and Andrus continues to improve each season. He's a better player right now than Profar.But Andrus is a free agent in two seasons, and clients of agent Scott Boras almost always test the market. Andrus' free agency will coincide with the end of Derek Jeter's career with the Yankees.Instead of losing out on Andrus with nothing to show for it, the Rangers could deal him for pitching help or a center fielder while opening a spot for Profar.The Rangers will talk to Andrus about an extension, but club officials quietly aren't hopeful. They also continue to wade through their middle-infield options."We've got an All-Star double-play tandem, both relatively young, and we've got another player that we think has the ability to be that kind of player as well," Daniels said."We're not looking to force anything. Things have a way of happening. Maybe a trade does present itself that does make some sense. But we're going to take our time with it, and I expect to see all three guys in camp."A starting pitcher and bullpen help are also on the radar, and so is a center fielder, despite the presence of Leonys Martin and Craig Gentry.Rotation candidates and center fielders have all but disappeared from the marketplace. Kyle Lohse and Michael Bourn are the best available at each spot, and both are represented by Boras.The Rangers continue to pluck relievers off waivers, as they did Friday with left-hander Jeff Beliveau, but impact relievers are often found in January.Daniels and his staff will be looking.Jeff Wilson, 817-390-7760Twitter: @JeffWilson_FWST

Do You Qualify To Be A Warlock?Posted by: Saresa in Random Sar is Random, Warlock
Many people believe that they could be Warlocks. Some people think that it is barely even a challenge. All the time, I am hearing "Pshaw, I could easily be a Warlock. They aren't THAT awesome, and besides, how hard is it to be evil?" Well… let's have a quick run down of what could be a Warlock and what could not.
1. Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris is often hailed as the weird geek be all and end all of power. If it can be done, he can do it. Hell, if it can't be done, he can probably do it. However, Chuck is unfortunately severely lacking in the awesome that is required to be a Warlock. Why?
- Melee Combat – way to risk getting a broken nose, doofus.
- No Magical Powers – epic fail, right there.
- No understanding of the term 'Damage OVER TIME' – instantly pwning things is neither evil nor fun.
- This photo right here: Guns are for noobs and people who fail at throwing firey balls of doom out of their hands.
Warlock Capable Factor: Hell No.
2. Darth Vader.
Darth Vader. He wears all black. He has a creepy voice. He wears a bad ass helmet. He only has one hand. He killed a whole heap of children. He lives in the Death Star, for frick's sake. How can you get more evil than that?
Well, for starters… you don't let someone CHOP YOUR HAND OFF. You also don't emo out at any opportunity – seriously, grow a pair and deal with it. When you kill children, you don't get all emo about that, either. And you cook them afterwards – it's only proper.
Warlock Capable Factor: Nope. Evil? Maybe a little. But definitely lacking the brains.
3. Cats.
For this, I am going to use my cat Suki as an example.
Suki is the ridiculously small, white, fluffy thing that is curled up into a ball. The other cat is Kamiko, my monstrous tabby of doom. The other day, she killed a bird and left the remains scattered throughout my parents' house, with most of the body under their bed. Mmm yummy.
Anyway, I digress.
Suki is like the Gnome Warlocks. Small, fluffy, absolutely adorable. She is totally deaf, and half blind. One would think that she is entirely helpless. Of course, we would be disregarding her ranged attacks…
- Fear (or, the Hiss of Death) – She has perfected the art of jumping in front of other animals, puffing up, and letting out an ungodly hiss that sends them running. It works particularly well on my ridiculously large dog, who is terrified of Suki.
- The Fur DoT – Often weakening me to a wheezing state of utter helplessness, Suki deposits fur in cunning places (such as my pillows, in the clean washing, and on my towels). She is not always around when I finally succumb, but I know that she is off cackling somewhere!
- Minion control – she often chases Kamiko into inconvenient places… like right in front of my feet before I walk down stairs, or as I step out of the shower. She does this knowing that my first reaction will be to blame Kamiko as I go tumbling over. Evil indeed.
Warlock Capable Factor: I'd have her on my raid team any day.
I think this conclusively proves that many of the people who THINK they are awesome enough to be a Warlock clearly are not. Warlockery is difficult, you know, and it takes a lot more awesome than what most people contain. Hell, Warlocks have more awesome in them than most people have in their little finger.
Do you think YOU have what it takes to be a Warlock?

As WrestleMania period techniques, The Rock and John Cena will boost their feud en path to having what should be a vintage experience before side of over 80,000 lovers at the Sun Life Arena.
It is a go with has been recognized as a cross-generational romance, unsightly pitting the "Attitude" era against the present PG empire.
And while it should be a unforgettable go with, there is one attack that could compete with, if not meet or exceed it.
That go with is The Rock vs. CM Punk.
Although such a theoretical experience won't be developing soon, the best way to increase its prospective would be to make sure The Mountain is as invincible as ever before it comes to being.
Specifically, The Rock would have to conquer Cena at WrestleMania. That is, Cena cannot be the one to get the flashlight from probably the most famous wrestler of all time.
The WWE may beg to change, but Cena's time is no more now; it is easily removal into the last. He's been on top of the greeting cards for nearly seven decades now, beyond his high and is starting to pattern downwards in the awaken of the latter 50 % of his profession.
To evaluate, Cena's WWE run volumes to Bob Austin, tx and The Rock's put together and is almost provided that Hulk Hogan's (1984-1992). Along with, Cena has been much more overextended than his above mentioned competitors.
Adequate to say, there is nothing Cena can do to refresh his personality or the organization shorter of a rearfoot convert, which, given the WWE writers' historical past, could end up a fail anyway.
Consequently, Cena is fated to simmer as a babyface for the long run, guaranteeing that the WWE doesn't drop out on his marketing carries on.
On the other side, CM Punk mountain, as opposed to his modern, became a new man only six several weeks ago. Now the WWE champ, he constantly enlighten as a charming communicator and skilled entertainer in the band.
More than anything, though, the "Straight Edge" celebrity has the prospective to take another phase and cause the WWE into a new era.
Having already overcome Cena at both Cash in the Financial institution and SummerSlam 2011, Punk mountain needs one additional force, so to talk, to complete the patience from celebrity to symbol.
The man who can do CM Punk mountain that benefit is none other than The Good ole' and roll, whose sparkle for acquiring the visitor's interest would effortlessly supplement Punk's.
Fortunately, there is already a built-in concern in position, as Punk has indicated exasperation with "Dwayne" both on and off WWE TV. Especially, in a Nov 2011 appointment, the Chicago-native shown out the following issues about "The Brahma Bull":
"He's not around. It doesn't help morale when the guy goes right from his limo to the dressing room to the dressing room to the ring. He's very bourgeois Hollywood. He came back, he did WWE Raw after that. He said he was never gonna leave. And the next time we saw him is a month later. Yeah, it does bother me. A little hello would have been nice. He could have run by with his own entourage."
Despite if Punk's feedback were genuine or for article requirements, a feud between him and The Mountain would be a normal one.
For example, with a little remodelling, The Mountain could plausibly epitomize the noveau riche hedonism of Artist, whereas Punk rock could mood his blue-collar graphic as one who is not frightened to say what is on his thoughts. In some techniques, the battle between the two would be an progress of Austin, tx vs. McMahon with enough facial lines to create it novel again.
In additon, the place/event to end such an normal and organic competition would essentially be in Los Angeles at the 2012 version of SummerSlam.
The Mountain, in his increased birthplace of "Hollywood" would go head-to-head with the person who symbolizes the individuals with his activities, not just his terms.
Moreover, to create the position go off without a tip of a problem, it would perhaps be necessary for The Mountain to convert rearfoot, widely selecting his enthusiasm for the movie market over struggling. It would be a come back to his 2003 root base, which should jibe well with—and affirm—Punk's on-air criticisms assessed at "The Excellent One."
Finally, when Punk rock shows The Mountain and the individuals right at SummerSlam 2012, an symbol will exterior, vibrant with reliability, to move the WWE galaxy let's start to a new measurement.

IRVING — Nothing's changed at Valley Ranch the day after the regular season. For the third consecutive year, the Dallas Cowboys finished 8-8, losing an elimination game for the NFC East title.Players packed up their personal belongings and said their goodbyes. Coaches began the evaluation process, and the front office started seeking answers.Nothing's changed at Valley Ranch. At least not yet.Jason Garrett will get a fourth full season despite a 29-27 record since he replaced Wade Phillips during the 2010 season. That's better than what five others in his position received Monday as Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota, Washington and Tampa Bay joined the Houston Texans in firing their head coaches."You have to keep banging away; you have to keep fighting," Garrett said. "When that doesn't happen, you have to keep believing. There are great stories in all sports, really in all walks of life, with people who continue to persist and keep battling and scratching and clawing and fighting, and they break through and they have success."We believe that's going to happen here."Change, though, could be coming to Valley Ranch.Garrett said some assistant coaches have contracts that expire at the end of the season. The Cowboys also have not announced the futures of coordinators Bill Callahan and Monte Kiffin. Callahan, who was hired before the 2012 season, took over play-calling duties from Garrett this season. The Cowboys ranked 16th in total offense, and their 5,461 yards were the fewest by the franchise since 2005."We believe strongly in our system," Garrett said. "It's been a good system for us. There are other good systems. Bill has been in our system in a couple of different spots. He's been in other systems at different spots. So he's a really smart guy, and I thought he handled that part of it really well."Kiffin was hired during the off-season to change the Cowboys from the 3-4 to the Tampa 2. Injuries forced the Cowboys to play 19 defensive linemen; middle linebacker Sean Lee missed five games; and cornerback Morris Claiborne missed six games.The Cowboys had their best defensive games against the Philadelphia Eagles, allowing 644 yards in two games, with eight sacks and four takeaways. But it might not be enough to save Kiffin's job.The Cowboys gave up the most yards, most yards passing and most first downs in team history. They finished last in the league in total defense.The 6,645 total yards the Cowboys allowed was the third-most in NFL history behind only the 2012 New Orleans Saints (7,042) and the 1981 Baltimore Colts (6,793). The 388 total first downs they allowed ranks second-worst all time behind only the 406 that the '81 Colts allowed."We did some good things on defense over the course of the season, primarily taking the ball away, better than we ever have around here," Garrett said of the team's 28 takeaways, which was the most for the franchise since 2010. "But having said that, we have to play better run defense; we have to play better pass defense; we have to play better situational defense."Still, Jones is showing patience with Garrett, hoping the more things stay the same, the more they change."I am certainly grateful for the opportunity, and the way we show that gratitude is to give everything we've got and put it all out there every single day to try to bring home a winner for the Dallas Cowboys," Garrett said. "We've worked very hard this year to put ourselves in position to do that. We didn't get it done. We're going to go back and we're going to try to do it again with everything we've got."

The Virginia softball team's rally at Maryland fell short Sunday afternoon, as the 'Hoos fell 6-5. With the loss, the Cavaliers fell to 12-15 overall and 1-5 in the ACC.
Four Cavaliers had multiple hits, including senior Taylor Williams with three and juniors Marcy Bowdren and Karli Johnson and sophomore Megan Harris with two.
After falling behind 6-1 after four innings, the Cavaliers scored four runs in the fifth. After Bowdren singled and Harris walked, Johnson hit her fourth home run of the season to left-center field. Williams singled to score Lauren Didlake later in the inning to cut the lead to 6-5.
The Cavaliers were able to load the bases in the sixth and move a runner to third in the seventh, but were unable to score against Kaitlyn Schmeiser, who earned the save for Maryland.
Senior pitcher Melanie Mitchell threw a complete game with sixth strikeouts and six runs in six innings, but took the loss to fall to 9-9 on the season.
Up next, the Cavaliers host Boston College in an ACC series March 29-30 at The Park. Friday's doubleheader is scheduled for a 5 p.m. start, while Saturday's single game is set for noon.

As most of the folks who know me on here (and those who have met me) know I have been in a lot of fights in my life, as a teen in my twenties, in my 30's and even in my 40. Hell I had a fight roughly 8 months ago due to a car accident my son was involved in.
Anyway I was on the phone with Kevin (DBX) and I was telling him the story, so I figured what the hell I have not posted a fight thread in a while, so let me post it (although there was no fight )
OK so the story, last week I drove Patty (my wife) to the store. The store is in a gas station, I had my car parked in front of the store, but in an angle parking.
There was enough room for a truck to get by me to get to the pumps, but this guy in a taxi could not. Now instead of this guy just politely asking me if I could move my car he doesn't. What does he do? He opens his window and yells out to me, "Hey assh0le, you don't know how to f'cking park? Move the f'cking car you f'cking idiot!"
Now here is the "I must be getting old" comment. I am just so drained and tired of all the f'cking fighting/arguments/beef I had nothing left in me to even respond. I put the car in reverse and gave him room. (room which he didn't even need to begin with)
My wife gets in the car I told her the story, she said "you didn't say or do anything?" I said no, it happen just as I told you, she doesn't believe me.
I am getting old...
