Oh -- sorry. Repeat answer. Thanks. I saw on last night's local news broadcast.....that they are planning on interdiction of MJ entering or leaving Colorado. It is a matter of taxation now.....or the attempt to circumvent....and the State Patrol & CBI have jurisdiction over the entire state. They have MJ "tours" right now.....you get the flight....the hotel....the bus, or limo.....and the high time....all in one package. They may try to shut that down, but it said there are a lot of "professionals" [doctors, lawyers, business CEO,s?] that have "pre-booked" or already are on the tour.

NCTexan Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 And in other local North Carolina news..... DHHS mailed nearly 49,000 Medicaid cards to wrong people WRAL DHHS mailed nearly 49,000 Medicaid cards to wrong people Raleigh, N.C. — The state Department of Health and Human Services mailed nearly 49,000 Medicaid cards to the wrong people, the agency announced Friday evening. The cards show the child's name, Medicaid ID number, date of birth and primary care physician. DHHS was trying to issue new cards to 70,253 children who were switched from the N.C. Health Choice program to Medicaid due to new eligibility rules. But more than half of the cards – 48,752 – went to the wrong Medicaid recipients."The Department has begun a careful review of this incident to determine how it occurred and to ensure personal information is protected," Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Valin Anything more definitive as to what caused the fire/explosion in the Minnesota apartment building? I read that two people died in the fire. Haven't seen what caused it except for suspicion of a gas leak. Everyone accounted for after Minneapolis fire, officials say (Snip) Natural gas cause debated On Thursday investigators and CenterPoint Energy differed over whether natural gas was a potential cause of the explosion that sparked the fire. Fire Chief John Fruetel said investigators were focusing on natural gas as a likely cause of the explosion that ignited the fire in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, although he said that weeks of investigation likely will be required to determine the cause. However, a spokeswoman for CenterPoint Energy strongly discounted gas as the culprit. We had no natural gas in the area, said Rebecca Virden, who based her assertion on the utilitys investigation and testing in the area. If the blast were due to were natural gas, Virden added, the roof would come off, the walls would come out. If a gas were involved, she said, it could be a different type of gas. Asked about CenterPoints denial, Fruetel said, Im just basing it on what my investigators say. He said that witness accounts of a natural gas smell and the type of explosion suggest gas was involved. He said that investigators early on ruled out an explosive device, despite the presence of Department of Homeland Security personnel on Wednesday. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ They will probably have a definite cause soon. Back in the day, I was involved in the distribution of chemical & agricultural products right at that building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrWoodchuck Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Jang's execution bodes ill for China http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big-story/asia-report/china/story/jangs-execution-bodes-ill-china-20131224 By Ching Cheong, Senior Writer THE execution of Jang Song Thaek, the No. 2 man in North Korea, took Beijing by surprise and will adversely affect bilateral relations. Beijing's displeasure is expressed through the publication of a detailed account of Jang's brutal execution in Wen Wei Po, its official mouthpiece, in Hong Kong, on Dec 12. According to the report, unlike previous executions of political prisoners which were carried out by firing squads with machine guns, Jang was stripped naked and thrown into a cage, along with his five closest aides. Then 120 hounds, starved for three days, were allowed to prey on them until they were completely eaten up. This is called "quan jue", or execution by dogs. The report said the entire process lasted for an hour, with Mr Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader in North Korea, supervising it along with 300 senior officials. The horrifying report vividly depicted the brutality of the young North Korean leader. The fact that it appeared in a Beijing- controlled newspaper showed that China no longer cares about its relations with the Kim regime. Two days later, the Global Times, associated with the People's Daily, a Chinese Communist Party organ, followed up with a sternly worded editorial saying that the abrupt political change epitomised the backwardness of the North Korean political system. It warned the Chinese government not to coddle North Korea any longer, saying that the majority of Chinese were extremely disgusted with the Kim regime. OMGosh.........Dogs? That is Un Brutal SOB......and he just cut off his lifeline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearvision Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 New Mayor Vows To Outlaw A Central Park Tradition The horse drawn carriages are a staple in New York’s Central Park and an almost mandatory destination for the hoards of tourists that visit the city each year. They have been around for more than 150 years–ever since Central Park first opened in 1858. But this year, New York’s new mayor Bill DeBlasio is vowing to do away with Central Park’s horse drawn carriages. He says that the practice is cruel and essentially amounts to animal abuse. DeBlasio says doing away with this NY tradition will be one of the first changes he makes in office. Just wow. Not going to be much to live for in NY at this rate.

Geee Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Indianapolis man arrested in police sting - for stealing human brains and auctioning them on eBay There are many inventive ways of earning a quick buck – but selling brains on eBay is perhaps a little too innovative. According to US police, an Indianapolis man was arrested on 16 December for stealing more than 60 jars of brain tissue from the Indian Medical History Museum and selling them online. David Charles, 21, allegedly spent a year repeatedly breaking into the museum to swipe human brains and other preserved tissues from its stores. The museum holds the remains of about 2,000 patients, who were autopsied between the 1890s and the 1940s in what was then the Central State Hospital, for the treatment of psychiatric and mental health disorders. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/indianapolis-man-arrested-in-police-sting--for-stealing-human-brains-and-auctioning-them-on-ebay-9038090.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
