Fly Now: The National Air and Space Museum Poster Collection
Throughout their history, posters have been a significant means of mass communication, often with striking visual effect. Wendy Wick Reaves, the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery Curator of Prints and Drawings, comments that "sometimes a pictorial poster is a decorative masterpiece-something I can't walk by without a jolt of aesthetic pleasure. Another might strike me as extremely clever advertising … But collectively, these 'pictures of persuasion,' as we might call them, offer a wealth of art, history, design, and popular culture for us to understand. The poster is a familiar part of our world, and we intuitively understand its role as propaganda, promotion, announcement, or advertisement."
Reaves' observations are especially relevant for the impressive array of aviation posters in the National Air and Space Museum's 1300+ artifact collection. Quite possibly the largest publicly-held collection of its kind in the United States, the National Air and Space Museum's posters focus primarily on advertising for aviation-related products and activities. Among other areas, the collection includes 19th-century ballooning exhibition posters, early 20th-century airplane exhibition and meet posters, and twentieth-century airline advertisements.
The posters in the collection represent printing technologies that include original lithography, silkscreen, photolithography, and computer-generated imagery. The collection is significant both for its aesthetic value and because it is a unique representation of the cultural, commercial and military history of aviation. The collection represents an intense interest in flight, both public and private, during a significant period of its technological and social development.

Unions Launch Debt Ceiling Ad War on GOP
Three major labor unions and a pro-labor outside group will run attack ads this weekend on Republican House members for blocking a deal to raise the debt ceiling.
The campaign is backed by some of the biggest names in organized labor — American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees; Service Employees International Union; National Education Association; and the activist group Americans United for Change. The ad buy, which falls in the "low six-figures" according a group spokesman, will run Friday through Monday on local networks against Sen. Dean Heller (R., Nev.), Majority Leader Eric Cantor and six House Republicans, some of whom are top targets for Democrats in 2012.
"If Congress doesn't act by Tuesday, America won't be able to pay all of its bills," the ad says. "Social Security checks, veterans benefits, military pay – all could be at risk – because Congressman Eric Cantor and Congressional Republicans want to protect tax breaks for millionaires, oil companies and corporate jets."
The White House has tried to use similar arguments for weeks, part of an attempt to put public pressure on lawmakers to strike a debt ceiling deal. Republicans have countered that no new taxes are acceptable in the midst of a jobless recovery. The ads are not subtle, and feature shots of an old man, a soldier in military fatigues holding a child and a looming mailbox. Later on, a pair in business attire walk in front of a small jet airplane.
It's also another example of Democrats opting to target Mr. Cantor, who is seen as being more in tune with the tea party, over Speaker John Boehner.
The spots also target: Reps. Bobby Schilling (R., Ill.), Steve King (R., Iowa), Chip Cravaack (R., Minn.), Denny Rehberg (R., Mont.), Ann Marie Buerkle (R., N.Y.) and Lou Barletta (R., Pa.).

When it comes to emerging markets and oil production, most investors have turned to Brazil's vast offshore salt fields as the world's next huge find. It's true that these deepwater sites are full to the brim of hydrocarbons and represent a great boon to Brazil's economy. Petroleo Brasileiro (NYSE:PBR) has become a market darling as investors have sought to cash in on the fields. Equally rich, but less known, is the emerging oil story in Africa. As worldwide oil consumption continues to grow, these abundant reserves have the potential to be a game changer for the continent. With an estimated $7.3 trillion worth of oil in East Africa alone, investors should take notice.
TUTORIAL: Economic Indicators To Know
Long-Term Potential
Africa is a region where most investors never tread. Years of corruption, in-fighting and violence have tainted perceptions of the continent. However, while some places do experience strife, Africa as a whole has become more politically stable. The regions rich abundance of natural resources is leading to its revival. These resource dollars are beginning to see their way back into African infrastructure and telecommunications, thus increasing growth even further. While it's mineral resources have powered its past and present, its new found oil reserves will power its future.
Africa's proven oil reserves have increase by 116%, steadily growing since 1989. These reserves have grown from nearly 59 billion barrels to 127.5 billion barrels, today. Overall, the region is host to 13% of the world's oil reserves. Deepwater fields off the coast of West Africa are home to some of the largest and most prolific oil and gas fields discovered over the past two decades. Some energy analysts have also postulated that these sites could dwarf Brazil's offshore potential. In addition, exploration is taking place in a number of other countries that aim to increase their output or become first time producers. Countries such as South Africa, Mozambique and Tanzania are working on new wells to begin oil production. Kenya has seen a "land grab" in recent years, as E&P firms have looked towards the politically stable nation and the oil rich Somalian Plate. The International Energy Agency, estimates that by 2035, 20% of the world's total oil production will come from sources that had yet to be found, including those in Africa.
Africa's oil future lies with exporting its harvest. China's hunger for commodities has it already attracted to the region. In 2009 Africa's oil exports to China represented 60% of total Sino-Africa trade. Currently, a variety of nations including, Angola, Chad, The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Equatorial Guinea are net oil exporters.
Playing the Boom
For retail investors, Africa represents the final frontier. Funds like the SPDR S&P Emerging Middle East & Africa (NYSE:GAF) and iShares MSCI South Africa Index (NYSE:EZA) can provide access to the continent and its future prosperity. For those who want to bet directly on Africa's energy resurgence, here are a few picks.
Ghana's reserve estimates are about 5 billion barrels of crude oil. A few foreign companies hold significant acreage in this region including U.S. producers Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC) and Hess (NYSE:HES). However, for a pure play on Ghana's growth, newly listed Kosmos Energy (NYSE:KOS) fits the bill. The company's Jubilee offshore field promises to be a monster.
Despite terrorism and fears of violence, Nigeria's massive oil reserves are too good to pass up. Majors Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and France's Total (NYSE:TOT) have all taken the plunge into the nations fields. Investors may also be interested in English firm Afren PLC (OTCBB:AFRNF). The company has purchased a variety of smaller fields off of the Nigerian coast that were discovered by major international oil companies, but deemed too small for the majors to profit from.
The Bottom Line
Africa is quickly moving to become the next oil and gas superstar nation. These huge finds have the ability to transform Africa's fortunes and its status in the investing world. For investors, adding some of Africa's energy to a portfolio can be a great long term play. The previous stocks, along with Tullow Oil (OTCBB:TUWOY) are great ways to add that exposure.

You know nothing about the golf shoe market if you think it hasn't been "elevated beyond it's traditional roots". Casual and athletic inspired designs like these are taking over the industry.
March 3, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 1
Michael Jordan's influence over the footwear industry is vast, but even MJ and a deep arsenal of personal gems hasn't elevated the mainstream golf shoe market beyond its traditional roots. The highly desirable marriage of form and function represented by the Nike Lunar Swingtip CVS might help to get the ball rolling, this clean canvas lowtop matching a hint of plimsoll/casual style with the performance of LunarLon cushioning and fairway-gripping outsole lugs. Anthracite and Blackend Blue make strong first impressions as you'll see after the jump, then grab yours from select retailers including Premier.

The Week in Tech: Apple's iPad woes, so long SOPA and Syrian regime uses Irish tech
Every second tech story nowadays seems to contain the word Apple - Adam and Eve would be horrified - and this week's tech news was absolutely no exception.
Apple's very bad week
Things went a bit pear shaped for Apple this week. Their iPads were flying off Chinese shelves (not for the right reasons) and Mountain Lion OS got the most lukewarm response of any OS, probably ever.
After losing a naming dispute with Chinese company Proview in December, Chinese officials have begun taking Apple's iPad off the shelves. The device is being confiscated because the Chinese company owns the rights to the iPad name. Strange huh?
To add a little more insult to injury, Apple launched its Mountain Lion OS this week. The new system, out later in the summer, has received about as much good press as a dead fish. Most updates are reportedly minuscule or absolutely pointless.
SOPA, ACTA, Minister Sherlock and the EU
A European Court of Justice ruling this week has cast doubt over the validity of some already shaky legislation. The ruling found that social networking sites could not be forced to block copyright content posted by users, because it would break the EU's eCommerce Directive.
Officially our own Innovation Minister Seán Sherlock has welcomed it, but it will no doubt be a bit of a thorn in his side. The validity of his vague SOPA-esque tribute legislation could be further called into question.
Elsewhere, the ACTA agreement looks to be getting into a good stumble with the news that Poland, Czech Republic and Bulgaria have no intention of signing it, while Germany has put off a decision with apparent cold feet.
Irish software used by Assad's brutal Syrian regime
Probably the most disturbing news of the week was that Irish software is being used by the despicable Syrian regime to oppress their citizens. The software in question blocks texts that contain certain keywords like 'Uprising', 'Demonstration' and 'Protest'.
The Irish companies involved, Cellusys and AdaptiveMobile, have never been involved with the regime in Syria. However, Assad has forced the mobile networks who bought the software to use it in a way it was not intended. The companies sold the packages several years ago and have hand no dealing with them since then. It might not be great to have your business name associated with something like events in Syria, but it does at least prove that the software is top of the range, right?
Sneak peek of Google's attempt at cloud computing
Google seems to be even closer to its 'Drive' service than previously reported. A reader of Geekwire claims to have had the service enabled on his account. Below is a screenshot which includes what's though to be the logo. The image clearly shows the interface is largely similar to Google's other service and will probably slot in to the stable fairly seamlessly.
If the screenshot is fake there will most likely be an announcement from Google along shortly. If it's not then it's an elaborate mock up.
Merging of TV and Online getting closer and closer
The bosses at Montrose announced during the week that over 1.1 million people have used the RTÉ Player. With 3.8 million streams in January of this year alone it looks like the migration to watching TV online is steadily gathering pace.
RTÉ have managed to catch up with the on demand systems pretty well in the last two years and now have a good, solid platform to stream content. RTÉ was also buoyed by the revelation that their apps for streaming have now been downloaded over 200,000 times.
Let's hope the broadcaster manages to keep pace with tech advances so we won't be left wishing we were British and had the BBC iplayer.

If your JDM knowledge needs some dust off (ours did!), this is basically a Datsun 240Z with the powertrain of the original Skyline GT-R, aka the hakosuka. This means that under the bonnet lives and breathes a dual-cam, four-valve, 2-litre inline-six fed by no less than three carburetors, hence the 432 nameplate.

When that happens and the vehicle in question is special enough, it also takes some artsy photos to share with the world.
That's the case with this purple-accent Nissan 370Z Coupe riding on the brand's 20-inch VVSCV4 wheels finished in a bespoke two-tone color theme that matches the rest of the car.

Some cars can sell themselves, but it never hurts to spice things up if it can help to spread around the word. Case in point, Kim Ridley who owns the Ridley's Rides car dealerships in Eugene, Oregon.
Ridley posted an ad for a low-mileage 1977 Datsun 280Z on eBay, which contained pictures of a young woman supposedly posing sensually (we'll disagree, but everyone to his own taste, of course) on the Japanese coupe.
Nothing-new right? Well, not exactly, as what makes this story interesting is that Ridley claimed in an interview with Adweek that the woman in the photos was his young daughter, something he took back, but only after the car was sold for $7,500 or about €5,800.
Rare 1970 Nissan Fairlady Z 432 with Skyline GT-R Heart up for SalePosted

Here's a nice find for all you classic car lovers; a fully restored 1970 Nissan Fairlady Z 432 with only 12,000km [7,462 miles] on the odometer - and it's up for grabs at an undisclosed price by a Japanese dealer.
For those wondering, the Z 423 was a Japan-only version of the Fairlady Z [sold as the 240Z in the States] equipped with the same 2.0-liter inline-six S20 engine producing 160-horsepower and 177Nm as the Skyline GT-R (PGC10). It was built in limited number of units for homologation purposes. The name '432' refers to the 4 valves [per cylinder], 3 carburetors and 2 camshafts.
Along with the GT-R's straight-six that was coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox, the Z 432 featured many other upgrades including Magnesium wheels and a unique exhaust system with dual vertical tail pipes. More photos after the break.

Beginning with the coupe, the 2010 model year brings a number of small enhancements that include the adoption of an HDD CARWINGS navigation system with a built-in digital TV receiver, an advanced map update system and iPod connection. Furthermore, an Intelligent Key with a Z metal emblem is offered, along with new body color variations, including a new Premium Deep Maroon color.
One year after the launch of the newest generation Fairlady Z, Nissan has added a canvas-top Roadster model to the sport car's Japanese line-up. The Fairlady Z Roadster features the same 3.7-liter V6 engine as the coupe model.
Also, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the birth of the original Fairlady Z in October 1969, Nissan has released a limited edition version of the coupe that entails the same styling traits as the commemorative 370Z that will go on sale in the States in Spring 2010.
Available at Nissan's Japanese dealers for one year after the release date, the Fairlady Z 40th Anniversary is based on the JDM Version ST and is offered with a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed automatic transmission.
Highlights include a unique metal grey paint job, red leather seats and door panels, contrasting red stitching on the steering wheel, console and other parts of the interior, new alloy wheels, and an array of 40th anniversary emblems inside and out.
Prices for the Fairlady Z Roadster in Japan range from 4,357,500 yen to 5,092,500 yen, for the 2010 Fairlady Z Coupe from 3,643,500 yen to 4,588,500 yen and for the 40th Anniversary model, from 4,483,500 yen to 4,588,500 yen.

The last week and a half has been the hardest of Jeff Garcia's life. Forced from his home in Slidell, La., last Monday after floodwaters went over his house, he has been here in Meridian since.
Garcia said he stayed in a hotel with his daughter and grandson until he ran out of money. Now he's looking for help from the federal government.
FEMA is giving out $2,000 debit cards to storm evacuees, but those cards haven't made it to Meridian yet. FEMA is also supposed to be opening an office in Meridian to help victims, but it hasn't happened yet.
And those who have tried to call FEMA's toll free number say all they get is a busy signal.
Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott says FEMA is overwhelmed right now, but he also says the response in Meridian has been inadequate.
You won't get any disagreement from Garcia. He says he's at the end of his rope and he doesn't know how much longer he can hold on.

The construction of the complex took place with the support of the Cardinal and Count František of Dietrichstein, the prime mover of the Re-Catholicization of Moravia, and his brother, Provincial Vice-Chamberlain Zikmund. Both are buried in front of the high altar. The college ceased to exist with the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773. Only the college portal and the church of the original complex have survived. The monumental high altar features a replica of a Madonna painting from Sta. Maria Maggiore, Rome.

"By Some Miracle" isn't even three minutes long, but it's the quality that counts. It shows that Selway, in addition to keeping time with one of the better rock bands of our time, has a natural knack for songwriting. Hopefully the rest of Familial will measure up.

Oh baby! Diaper-changing tables in men's restrooms?
Dads appear to be more involved in their children's day-to-day lives than ever -- a 2013 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates 90% of fathers who live with their offspring "bathed, diapered or dressed their children every day or several times a week."
Yet there are no federal laws requiring public spaces to offer diaper-changing tables accessible to both men and women. Often, ladies' rooms are the only places a parent can swap out a stinky diaper.
But some California legislators want to do something about that situation.
The California Legislature is mulling over two bills that would enable men to have the same access that women have to diaper-changing tables in public places.
According to The Sacramento Bee, one of the Senate bills would mandate that public venues, such as shopping centers and movie theaters, have changing tables in both men's and women's restrooms.
Senate Bill 1358, which would be adopted after January 1, 2015, would create "mandatory building standards for the installation of baby diaper changing accommodations in restroom facilities in places of public accommodation."
That legislation is sponsored by state Sen. Lois Wolk.
The other bill, Senate Bill 1350, sponsored by Sen. Ricardo Lara, would only require that if a business is installing a changing table, it would have to be accessible to both men and women.
"The bill would require the commission to require, when developing the building standards, that any place of public accommodation that installs a baby diaper changing accommodation ensures that the accommodation is equally available or provided regardless of the gender for which the restroom facilities are designed," a summary of that measure says.
The bills passed the state Senate and are now under consideration in the California State Assembly, according to the Legislature's website.

Too much radiation can damage the bladder, so it is important to make sure the medication passes out of the bladder as soon as possible. Therefore, drink at least 2 glasses (16 ounces or 500 milliliters) of water or other fluid before receiving this medication, and urinate as often as possible after receiving the dose. Your doctor may decide to give these fluids by vein. Consult your doctor for details.Also, to make sure you and those around you are exposed to as little radiation as possible, take the following precautions for at least 12 hours after the dose. Use a toilet instead of a urinal, and flush the toilet several times after each use. Clean up any blood and spilled urine immediately. Wash your hands thoroughly after urinating or coming in contact with blood. If blood or urine gets onto clothing, wash the clothing separately from other clothes, or store them safely in a separate place for 1 to 2 weeks to give the radiation time to become less harmful. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.You may have mild, temporary worsening of pain within the first 3 days after receiving the dose. You may start to feel pain relief 1 week after the dose. The best pain relief generally occurs after 3 to 4 weeks. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about the use of other pain medications for sudden attacks of pain.

According to a Digital Factory investigation, the new dashboard update that was supposed to turn the Xbox 360 into a savvy media-friendly device suffers from one serious problem: reduced video playback quality. What's more, Microsoft reportedly knew about it and covered it up, says this C&VG report. Apparently the update forces video content to run at "limited range RGB levels," which results in washed out colors. Black looks gray post-update, according to C&VG.
Those who beta tested the update prior to its launch flagged the issue so that Microsoft was aware of it, but according to that Digital Factory investigation, Microsoft ignored the issue, deleted all threads referring to the problem, and sent testers the following generic message:
"Thanks for the feedback! Though we will not be able to incorporate your feedback into this release we will save it for consideration in future releases. Thanks for using the new Xbox Update and please keep up the feedback!"
Microsoft has not publicly commented on this story, but we'll let you know if they do.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is a quick, sure-fire visual method to tell apart men's geometry from women's geometry. Because right now, I am having a difficult time discerning the two. This is for the modern bicycles, which have very similar top tube lengths and angles. The difference is quite subtle, yet I don't know if there's a quick way to tell.

"Dr. Who and the Daleks" Remastered Review
Patrick Kavanagh-Sproull gives his verdict on the upcoming remastered edition of the Peter Cushing movie.
Film review
There is a large division in the Whoniverse of Doctors that aren't considered 'canonical'. These are the 'Other Doctors', a range of Time Lords (or not) that were invented on a different platform that branches from the official television programme. They vary from the zany bunch in The Curse of Fatal Death to the Great Intelligence himself, Richard E. Grant's 'Shalka' Doctor. Whether you choose to count these, and others, as part of the show's canon, is down to you.
The Doctor (or Dr.) in this case is Peter Cushing's Dr. Who, a character birthed by Amicus Productions, and not by the BBC. They toyed with the mythos of Doctor Who and made the eponymous man human unlike William Hartnell's extraterrestrial First Doctor. I consider Cushing as my favourite non-canonical Doctor because of the charm and grace he brought to the role. In time for the release of the digitally restored Cushing films, I look back at the first: Dr. Who and the Daleks.
Along with making the Doctor an earthling, Dr. Who and the Daleks reinvented the famous TARDIS as Tardis: a rather crude-looking time and space machine created by the Dr. in his back-garden. It's a very controversial change but as the film (and its sequel) were made in the mid-sixties, it isn't as maligned. The palaver last year where David Yates announced he would be making a Doctor Who movie never emerged to anything but my guess is Yates would have made something similar to the Amicus Productions features.
The official First Doctor's companions, Ian, Barbara and Susan were given a slight twist. Ian was Barbara's lover (curiously a romance was often subtly hinted in the TV show) juxtaposed to the workmate relationship they shared in the television series. Ian is incredibly clumsy here, and the producers went overboard with emphasizing William Russell's bumbling-idiot side (TV's Ian is a multifaceted and character, not at all like Roy Castle's interpretation). Susan was the Dr.'s granddaughter and her age had been lowered from the televisual version, one change I thoroughly approve of. Carol Ann Ford's Susan Foreman had some appeal but Roberta Tovey's was more likeable, in my view.
Plot-wise, Dr. Who and the Daleks is basically a simplified and more constrained model of the second ever episode, The Daleks. Ian accidently sends the gang in Tardis to a distant planet (named Skaro in the sequel and the TV show) where they encounter the deadly Daleks. From that point onwards it's a fairly jaunty adventure (with an equally jaunty theme-tune) with bubbling swamps, petrified jungles, gaping chasms and gassy (now, now) Daleks. The aforementioned menaces are not quite as terrifying as they are in the official series but certain moments (e.g. when the Daleks ambush the Thals outside their imperial city) pack a punch.
I had already seen the movies before doing this review, and then I wasn't impressed by the visuals. Now that it has been remastered, the vivid colours light up, from the lurid coral leggings sported by Barbara to the chocolate-coloured suit jacket worn by Peter Cushing's Dr. Who. The Daleks are also more attractive and are reminiscent of the new paradigm creations of Victory of the Daleks.
Dr. Who and the Daleks doesn't encompass the creativeness and audacity of the original television show but there is enough charisma and fun to last the running-time.
Verdict: 8/10
Extras review
In 1995, Lumiere Films commissioned a documentary scrutinizing the country's past love for Terry Nation's marvellous creations, the Daleks. It looked towards Amicus Productions' Dalek films, Dr. Who and the Daleks and the sequel, Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. and featured interviews with the cast of both movies.
Roberta Tovey is the predominant interviewee and guides us through the creative process on the two films. She is supported by Barrie Ingham and Yvonne Antrobus, who starred as Thal sweethearts in the first movie. What Tovey has to say is enlightening – especially after viewing Dr. Who and the Daleks – and it is nice to hear her recount tales of how Peter Cushing and director, Gordon Flemyng assisted and encouraged a younger her. Moving onto Dr. Who and the Daleks' successor, Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. we are ushered further into the alternative universe of Dr. Who with talks from Jill Curzon, who played Louise, a character used as a proxy for Jennie Linden's Barbara, and Eddie Powell, stuntman/co-ordinator for the sequel.
Its insightful viewing but grows rather weary, and you feel like you could have been halved in length. This is acceptable, however, as it was produced in the dark time when Doctor Who wasn't airing and audiences were hungry for more Who.
Verdict: 7/10
Restoring Dr. Who and the Daleks.
Due to Dr. Who and the Daleks being a remastered edition, then a video showcasing the technical procedure was inevitable. Here we have a rather dull and insipid eight-minute feature with interviews from a BFI curator, a television and film historian and multiple blokes from Deluxe Digital Studios. The rest is basically over-the-shoulder shots of men working away at computers, showing viewers how they reinvigorated Dr. Who and the Daleks.
Restoring Dr. Who and the Daleks is utterly humdrum for non-techies but those interested in the advanced practical methods will fall in love; it's entirely esoteric.
Verdict: 4/10
Interview with Gareth Owen.
When I saw in the 'extras' menu, the name Gareth Owen, I expected an interesting interview with a producer, or writer of Dr. Who and the Daleks. Instead we received an archive video of man behind The Shepperton Story. Yes, you heard me. Viewers are treated to an extraneous interview with a man who wrote a book about the studios in which Dr. Who and the Daleks were filmed.
Its only seven minutes long but I was still left asking, what was the point in that?
Verdict: 5/10
"Dr Who and the Daleks" is out on DVD and Blu-ray on 27 May 2013.

"We need to address the public safety, crime and lost tax revenue associated when these legal and regulated businesses are operating in a cash-only system"
Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Reps. Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) and Denny Heck (WA - 10), along with a bipartisan group of 16 other Republicans and Democrats, are proposing sensible reforms of federal banking laws relating to marijuana businesses. The Perlmutter/Heck bill updates federal banking rules to resolve conflicts between federal and state laws, promoting community safety and financial security.
Currently, under federal banking laws, many legal, regulated legitimate marijuana businesses that follow state law are prevented from opening bank accounts and operating as any other businesses would. They are therefore forced to operate as cash-only enterprises, inviting crime such as robbery and tax evasion and adding to the burden of setting up a legitimate small business.
"We need to address the public safety, crime and lost tax revenue associated when these legal and regulated businesses are operating in a cash-only system," said Congressman Ed Perlmutter (CO-07). "We also need to provide financial institutions assurance that they can make their own business decisions related to legal, financial transactions without fear of regulatory penalties or criminal prosecution."
"As a small business owner, I can't imagine trying to operate a legitimate business without access to the banking system. Forcing legitimate businesses to operate on a cash-only basis without bank accounts is an invitation for robbery, tax evasion and organized crime. With twenty-one states and D.C. now allowing for some form of legal adult marijuana usage, federal law needs to be updated to reflect the reality of the situation in the states," said Congressman Denny Heck (WA-10).
Colorado and Washington recently legalized recreational adult-use of marijuana and are in the process of crafting rules, regulations and tax mechanisms for the product. Additionally, 19 other states and the District of Columbia have approved medical marijuana programs.
In all of these states, federal laws are presenting criminal and regulatory barriers to financial institutions, prohibiting them from accepting licensed growers, retailers and dispensaries as ordinary banking customers.
The result is legitimate, licensed and regulated businesses have extreme difficulty accessing the banking system to accept credit cards, deposit revenues, or write checks to meet payroll or pay taxes.
The Marijuana Business Access to Banking Act would allow banks, credit unions and other depository institutions the legal clearance to provide banking services to a marijuana-related legitimate business, ensuring these businesses do not have to operate on a cash-only basis.
Bi-partisan Co-Sponsors include:Denny Heck (WA), Jim McDermott (WA), Earl Blumenauer (OR), Jared Polis (CO), Adam Smith (WA), Sam Farr (CA), Derek Kilmer (WA), James Moran (VA), Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC), Michael Capuano (MA), Suzan DelBene (WA), Mike Coffman (CO), Diana DeGette (CO), Peter DeFazio (OR), Alan Lowenthal (CA), Chellie Pingree (ME), and Dana Rohrabacher (CA).
Below are more details about the bill and news reports highlighting the need for the legislation.
Under the bill, federal banking regulators may not:
- threaten or limit a depository institutions' access to the Deposit Insurance Fund
- discourage, prohibit, or penalize depository institutions
- take any action against a loan made to a covered business
- force a depository institution to halt providing any kind of banking services
Additionally, any depository institution and/or the employees shall be immune from federal prosecution or investigation solely for providing banking services to a covered business.
Under the legislation, a covered "financial product and service" includes:
- providing and/or extending credit and servicing such loans
- extending or brokering leases of real property, providing real estate settlement services
- engaging in depository-taking activities, transmitting or exchanging funds on behalf of a consumer
- selling, providing, or issuing stored value or payment instruments
- providing check cashing, check collection or check guaranty services
- providing payments or other financial data processing products or services
- providing financial advisory services
- collecting debt related to any consumer financial product or service
The legislation covers the
following "marijuana-related legitimate business" which hold
and maintain s a license from a state or local government to engage in
such activity:
- manufacturer, grower and producer
- any business who handles, sells, transports, displays or distributes marijuana or marijuana products.
News articles:
CNN - "Marijuana taxes as a cash cow? Think again"
Bloomberg - "Pot Shops Can't Take American Express or Deposit in Banks"
Denver Post - "Pot businesses in Colorado cannot bank and no solution is ahead"
Puget Sound Business Sound - "You pay taxes, but can't get a bank account because your business is selling marijuana"
CNBC - "Selling Pot Legally? Good Luck Opening a Bank Account"

NKU student's YouTube video goes viral, wins international video competition
CALIFORNIA, Ky. -- A Northern Kentucky University student is receiving international recognition for a video that's going viral.
After Douglas Gautraud entered his YouTube video in the My Rode Reel film contest by Rode Microphones, he earned about 400,000 views in a single day.
The 24-year-old NKU junior later won the People's Choice award in the competition. His film is currently approaching more than 1.5 million views on YouTube.
"I think it resonated the way it did because the fundamental lesson, 'It's better to give than receive,' came from Jesus," the California, Kentucky resident said. "No matter what you believe... those are some of the most influential words in history. They can resonate even in a five-minute YouTube video."
In three months, the My Rode Reel contest saw 1,120 entries from 76 countries. Of these, Gautrad's film garnered around 15,000 votes by July 23, he said.
The video, titled "My Mom's Motorcycle ," tells the story of Gautraud's late grandfathers, his attempt to be connected to them through buying and riding a motorcycle and his realization that his grandparents' legacy is more than the objects they left.
At the end of the video, Gautraud's mother buys the motorcycle from him.
"It was such a strange thing for my mom to do," Gautraud said. "And I thought it was so cool for her to show me love in that way."
One of the themes in the video is the human tendency to use inanimate objects to connect to people, times and ideas, Gautraud said.
He used objects his grandfathers left behind in their offices and drawers to sketch a picture of each family member.
"I wanted people to know that my grandpa Roessler was a tinkerer and fixed things for himself," Gautrad said. "With my other grandpa, I wanted people to know that he cared about doing things well."
Gautraud said the film was relatable because many people like to feel proud of their older relatives.
"We love to love those who came before us," he said.
Gautraud had been writing the story for the film on-and-off for about a year and began filming when he heard about the competition.
He found out at 10 p.m. Sunday that he had won a prize that included 44 pieces of equipment, which he hopes will help him improve his video quality.
He has already received requests to film short videos for businesses, charities and startups in his own style, Gautraud said.
"Some are just 'You make videos people like, I want you to do that for me,'" Gautraud said. "It's a good feeling."

Attention coaches, parents: Minor hockey is for the children
Fifteen years ago, I wrote a piece on my experiences as a minor hockey coach. I never thought at the time that the piece would be printed and re-printed. Year after year. Minor hockey organization after minor hockey organization.
The other day, when I Googled my name and the words "apple juice" more than 150,000 entries came up. So here is the original piece, with an edit or two along the way. Enjoy.
There was about two minutes to play in the playoff game and I was pacing behind the bench anxiously, barking out whatever instructions seemed important at that very moment. You watch the game and you watch the clock in those final seconds, often at the very same time.
Our team was up by a goal, poised to advance to the next round of the playoffs, when I felt a tug on my jacket.
"Ah coach," one of my little players said from the bench.
"Yea," I answered, concentrating more on the game and the clock than on him.
"Are there snacks today?"

This may get some fans all hot and bothered, but this writer is just gonna come out and say it. While there is no denying George A. Romero's place in horror history, the director hasn't made a relevant statement in the zombie genre in almost three decades. While the genre itself has soared in popularity in the past few years, becoming positively mainstream, Romero hasn't had much to add to the equation and the less said about this last effort, "Survival Of The Dead," the better. But, it appears the 71 year-old helmer is going to take another crack at a zombie movie, hopefully with better results.
According to Zombie Research (via Bleeding Cool) Romero is working on an adaptation of Steven Schlozman's novel "The Zombie Autopsies" in collaboration with the author. The concept is not unlike that of "World War Z" or "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter." Similar to those books that the movies are based on, "The Zombie Autopsies" is presented as a journal written by a neuroscientist, Dr. Stanley Blum, who is infected but is desperately working on a cure to treat zombies. And the journal details the rather gruesome forensic methods they employ.
Romero has always been known for pinning political allusions to each of his zombie flicks, but we're not sure what the connection is here unless it's going to be some tenuous link to universal health care or something. Here's hoping he can get some proper funding this time, because "Survival Of The Dead" was not helped by its threadbare budget. But with a number of zombie movies in development or production -- "World War Z," "Warm Bodies," "Pride And Prejudice And Zombies," a "Zombieland" TV show among many many more -- not to mention the smash success of "The Walking Dead," Romero is entering a cultural sphere that has changed the zombie game entirely. But he's doggedly focused on his zombie-verse, for better or worse, even if it means turning down jobs like directing an episode of the hit AMC series.
"I love the books, I haven't seen any of the episodes. Listen, I love Frank [Darabont], I know he's done a good job. I love the books, I never watched any of the episodes because… my zombies are sort of my own," he recently explained to io9. "I didn't want to be part of it. Producers called and said, "do you want to direct some of these," and I said no. Because I just didn't think it was me. I've been waiting to see the whole first season, which I missed because I've been traveling. I've been waiting to look at it, but I haven't seen any of it."
So, is the world ready for another zombie movie from Romero, or his voice now dated as the genre has pushed forward? Guess we'll find out.

...But beyond his professional expertise, Phil Mahders advice, discernment and wisdom have been a valuable asset that has advanced the mission and ministry of this congregation. His input and experience proved invaluable as our church successfully navigated the transition to contemporary worship. Without reservation, I fully recommend Phil and his team to any church who is considering making improvements in their sound or video projection systems.
I cannot speak highly enough of Phil Mahder. He is a rare and invaluable blend of skill, commitment, sensitivity and faith. His technical abilities are first-class and worthy of any industry. His contacts in the industry give him the networks he needs to find the best solutions at the best costs. We can only thank God (and Phil!) that he has chosen to make a ministry of those skills. Otherwise, tools that we increasingly need for effective communication in worship would be beyond the reach of all but a few of the wealthiest churches. Phil Mahder is a blessing to the Christian community and I recommend him to you without reservation!
I am writing to highly recommend the services and the person of Mr. Phil Mahder. Ive had the privilege of working with Phil for more than 15 years and he has always provided the very best of service. From recommending equipment that was needed to the support after the sale, etc. But most of all, Phil has always shown an interest in me personally and the work and ministry of Central Church. He has always gone out of his way to make sure that we had what was needed in a timely manner...
True to his word, Mr. Phil Mahder designed our system, coordinated the delivery and installation of the equipment and personally started the training of our staff. All of this was part of his agreed upon services, but Mr. Mahder went well beyond those required activities. He took it upon himself to solve a problem we were having with our electric power to the sanctuary. He even provided maintenance and repair for equipment he had not supplied. He accepted the oversight of our video project... as if it was his personal studio... I am proud to recommend Mr. Phil Mahder to your attention. If honesty, business integrity, intense attention to detail and post-sale accessibility are qualities you are interested in then Mr. Mahder is the consultant for you.

The girls will explore a wide general range of areas of art and design including drawing, textiles, ceramics, photography and history of art. Art and design at Queen Anne's aims to give students a broader understanding and experience of art and design techniques and issues; raise awareness of the art historical context in which they are working; develop more advanced recording and painting techniques, as well as to design and work in three dimensions. We also aim to encourage confidence to work on a larger scale, to produce imaginative work; to develop practical problem solving and construction techniques, leadership and team work. This will prepare girls for more complex still life painting techniques, and they will begin to explore textile processes.
The Department

text: There have been several important milestones with Miss Dog. She has been out to lunch and covered herself with glory (also mud). There was a mild contretemps when we arrived, and I rushed straight into the garden with her, viz., Rabbits. There is quite a colony of pet bun-buns, who had been rounded up into their chickenwire cage, but what nobody had quite thought of is that Miss D went straight for them: the panic-stricken creatures raced to the other side of their enclosure, and so she ran round the other side, and they did it again!!! Highly hilarious from her point of view, less so from the rabbits'. She was, clearly, not trying to catch them; she was in fact bouncing as dogs do to announce the start of a game, but it took several goes of round and round the pen before we could grab her collar. Rabbits were then evicted to the safety of the garage, and she was given the freedom of the garden. Having run off a bit of energy, she was, in fact, very good during lunch. Mostly resting on a temporary bed in the corner, but periodically getting up to walk round the table and put her head on the thigh of everyone present, in turn. She wasn't begging, just wanting an acknowedging hand. After lunch my host and I took her to the park: always a moment of considerable anxiety with an unfamiliar dog. Fortunately, she is a paddler not a swimmer, so she didn't attempt the racing waters of the Don, though (trust a dog) she found herself a lovely still backwater and coated herself in sticky black mud. But it turns out 1) that she WILL come when called, and 2) that she is very good with other dogs. A fellow Labrador was greeted in friendly fashion. A Springer nearly turned himself inside out trying to get her to play chase, and she wasn't having any. A pair of collies were, after a brief race round a flowerbed, ignored. So we've covered a lot of ground in a day, and she was good about pretty much all of it except that she gets wildly excited about Going Somewhere, refuses to lie down, and after a certain amount of time has passed, whines in an irritating fashion, all of which is neither here nor there. But it's a great relief to know that she's steady with other dogs, and, given the speed she can move at, that she has some notion of the meaning of 'Come here'.

How Many Ways to Lose?
It Seems Like the Mets Are Counting—They Lost Close and by Blowout Thursday
There are days when the Mets merely want to make their fans watch something else. There were bound to be some of them this season. But what unfolded at Citi Field on Thursday afternoon and evening was something else entirely.
This wasn't just a pair of losses. This was 18 innings of cover-your-eyes, pinch-your-nose, hide-the-children bad baseball.
It was the kind of baseball manager Terry Collins pledged he would rid the Mets of. But as Collins is quickly learning, preaching fundamentals and playing "the right way" doesn't mean much if a team doesn't have the personnel to do it.
The Mets created their own lowlight reel of defensive blunders, all but handing the Colorado Rockies both games of a doubleheader and a four-game series sweep at Citi Field. And with that, the Mets' first home stand of 2011 came to an ignominious end.
They've lost their last five games, eight of their last nine and nine of 13 this season. They've blown a two-run lead in each of their last five games.
Some of those losses were not entirely discouraging. Lapses in pitching and timely hitting are to be expected over the course of 162 games. The season is young. But the way the Mets lost Thursday—6-5 in Game 1; 9-4 in Game 2—was reminiscent of some of the lowest points of the last two years.
A bungled double-play ball by Daniel Murphy at second base and two misplayed fly balls in the outfield likely cost the Mets a victory in Game 1. And another botched double play at second base, this time at the hands of Brad Emaus, led to a six-run sixth inning for Colorado in Game 2.
The announced attendance was 25,758, but only several thousand masochists stayed long enough to boo the Mets as they came off the field after Game 2. It was the first time Colorado swept the Mets in New York since 1994.
"Depressing," Collins said. "I'm not going to sugarcoat this. This was not a good home stand. This was not the way we wanted to come out of the gate. We're a better team than this, and we'll fix it."
Collins held a brief team meeting after Wednesday's loss. He expressed concern about the Mets appearing "deflated" after blowing leads. But that wasn't the problem Thursday.
The Mets nearly came back to win Game 1, which ended when David Wright flied out to deep right field with the bases loaded. And for as suspect as their starting rotation and bullpen looked during much of the past week, the Mets pitched well enough to win both games Thursday.
Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki continued his assault on Citi Field, homering in both games. He became the first player ever to hit a home run in every game of a four-game series against the Mets.
But mostly, the Mets beat themselves. In the second game, Emaus could have ended the sixth inning with a double play. But a grounder bounced off the heel of his glove, allowing the Rockies to tie the game and extend the inning.
Afterward, Emaus punched the air in frustration and muttered something into his glove.
"It's a play I've made a thousand times in my life," he said. "It's a routine double play. The ball kicked up on me a little bit, but I should have made the play. It cost us the game."
It was hardly the only poor defensive play of the day. And it was one of many reasons why Collins was so visibly frustrated after the game. It's not clear how much more a manager can do to reinforce fundamentals if six weeks of spring training weren't enough. But look for Collins to try something.
"We're going to talk about it," he said. "We're going to address some things. This game is about preparation. Maybe we're not taking enough balls off the bat. Maybe we're not doing the things you do during [batting practice] to get ready to play. It will all be assessed."

It was reported that when she came in she looked like she had been crying. I think her tendency to see the 'glass as half full' is just her personality. I think she's also willing to put in the hard work; look at how she improved her fitness. She herself has said that it is time to hire a full-time coach asap. According to an article in the Australian she is on holidays now but close to picking a coach. She realizes that her game needs direction and wants someone to travel with her full-time and to be court side.Allisonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253867020130053273.post-59033237199227626402009-01-26T01:05:00.000-08:002009-01-26T01:05:00.000-08:00"Everyone can have an opinion, can't they?"That is..."Everyone can have an opinion, can't they?"

True enough about Justine: she wanted it, was honest about it, worked extremely hard to get there AND stay there, and showed realy disappointment when she lost - because she cared.

I don't know if anyone saw any of Ana's post-match presser, but she had just gotten shown up by a youngster and she's sitting there smiling, talking about how she'll learn from this, "what won't kill you makes you stronger", blah blah blah. Nice sentiments but where's the real disappointment and determination to put her nose to the ground, block out distractions, and get to the real work???

That just about made me LMFAO - I want to feel like they feel something about the loss, not sit there and spout media talking points.

At the moment the No. 1 spot in the ladies' game is only for who sucks the least.

This is becoming pathetic. Both the women's and men's draws have become somewhat unpredictable. However for the men it's because they currently have an incredible depth.

Tribeca Review: Nice Guy Johnny
By Eric Eisenberg 2010-04-28 15:39:03 comments
The lead and title character played by Matt Bush in Edward Burns Nice Guy Johnny is just that: a nice guy who tries his best to do good by everyone in his life. Despite working at his dream job as a radio sportscaster in the Bay Area--albeit during the 2am slot--he has agreed with his fiancée (Anna Wood) to quit and accept a job being offered by his soon-to-be father-in-law. Tripping out to New York for the interview, he spends some time with his freewheeling Uncle Terry (played by the director) and takes an unscheduled trip out to the Hamptons on Long Island. It is there, however, that he meets Brooke (Kerry Bishe) a beautiful girl who encourages him to stick to doing what he loves.
If this plot seems familiar thats because its been done before, and the characters dont do much to break-out of stereotype (the strict, nagging girlfriend; the wild spirit girl who embraces youth; and the ruffle-no-feathers boy stuck in the middle). But the saving grace of the film is that its funny, and thats fairly important in a comedy.
Given that he's played by the writer and the director, it should come as no shock that the best character in the film is the womanizing Terry, who is trying to get his young cousin a bit of strange while visiting the East Coast. Be it arriving late to pick up Johnny because he was getting busy some in New Jersey and had to beat tunnel traffic or eating the pie that Johnny got for his fiancées mother, Burns plays the role of sleazy asshole to perfection and certainly delivers the best one-liners of the film. Once the relationship between Johnny and Brooke takes hold Terry unfortunately fades into the background, which is a true shame. Burns, who is a regular in the indie/festival scene, hasnt ever done any sequels or spin-offs, but there is certainly room in the film world for characters like him.
When the film isnt making you laugh, though, its kind of a drag. Its never hard to see exactly where the film is going, which only makes it seem slower in getting there. One scene in particular has Johnny run into Brooke while jogging and get an invite to a bonfire later that night. He says no, because he is loyal to his fiancée and doesnt want to be tempted, but its obvious that before the end of the night he will be planting his ass in a lounge chair on the beach and having smoke blow into his face.
Nice Guy Johnny should have been a hard movie to get through, but it wasnt. There is enough positive to distract from the tropes and clichés and the message of doing what you love. Youll never be surprised by the plot of the film, but this isnt an action movie or a thriller that should always keep you guessing. Its just a small budget comedy with just enough laughs to make it entertaining.

don't hesitate." - Chris P
