Meanwhile Manchester City have begun on the right note following their massive summer spending. They have won both their games played so far by narrow margins, but look like genuine challengers for a top four finish.

Last week, City beat Wolves by a 1-0 margin with Emmanuel Adebayor once again on target. Manager Mark Hughes has finally completed his signing of Joleon Lescott from Everton and the latter could make his debut in this game.

Legalize marijuana? Schwarzenegger says let’s debate it

Legalize marijuana? Schwarzenegger says let’s debate it
By Jimmy Orr | 05.06.09

Source

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (not actual size) on Tuesday said it was time for a discussion on the idea of legalizing and taxing marijuana. Although he said he doesn't support it now, he welcomed a debate on the issue.
(NEWSCOM/FILE)

It wasn’t as though Arnold Schwarzenegger held a press conference with Cheech and Chong in the back of a van and said, “Whoa, I have this awesome idea, man…”

The governor was asked if he would support the legalization and taxation of marijuana to help the state of California get out of its budgetary mess.

No, he doesn’t support that - at least right now. He said specifically, “No, I think it’s not time for that.”

Debate

It was the rest of his statement, however, that’s caused a stir around the pro-legalization world. The governor said it should be talked about.

“I think it’s time for a debate,” he said. “I think all of those ideas of creating extra revenues, I’m always for an open debate on it.”

As part of that debate, the governor said Californians need to look to the countries - like his native Austria - that have already relaxed drug laws.

“I think that we ought to study very carefully what other countries are doing that have legalized marijuana and other drugs, what effect it had on those countries, and are they happy with that decision,” he said. “Or, like for instance in Austria, I’ve heard that they are unhappy with that and they want to roll back some of the decisions that were made in European countries.”

Poll

Late last week, the director of a pro-marijuana legalization group praised a recent poll that showed 56 percent of Californians are OK with the legalization and taxation of marijuana.

“Right now people in the Capitol are laughing off the idea of taxing and regulating marijuana. This will show them there’s some serious voter support on the issue,” said Aaron Smith, the Marijuana Policy Project’s California policy director.

It’s not just a California poll. A WashingtonPost/ABC survey, also released last week, revealed that 46 percent of Americans support legalization of small amounts of marijuana for personal use - that’s double the support it had a decade ago.

Money

If it were legalized and taxed, how much of an impact would it have on California’s budget? According to the author of a bill in the California State Assembly, it could add $1.3 billion to the state’s coffers.

But Assemblyman Tom Ammiano said it’s not about the money.

“It’s also about the failure of the war on drugs and implementing a more enlightened policy,” he told the San Francisco Chronicle. “I’ve always anticipated that there could be a perfect storm of political will and public support, and obviously the federal policies are leaning more toward states’ rights.”

Reader comments

Regardless, there were plenty of comments from our readers on the topic.

Carolyn said there were two ways to look at legalization:

“Does CA on pot make the economy look better OR does the economy on pot make CA look better?”

CWB was touched:

“I almost cried with joy when I saw this.”

Tom has renewed faith in the government:

“Could it be possible that some rational thinking has entered national politics? If so, then I think I love that big goofy Austrian musclehead. Now, once the Governator has straightened out the great state of Cal-E-fornya, he can move on to get the cultivation of hemp as a food/fuel/textile on the ballots and into practice. GO Arnold!”

Matt94 said legalization will do more harm:

“Legalizing marijuana will have zero impact on cocaine, heroin and the like. So while it may let the pro-drug folks get what they want, it does nothing to help the hard core addicts of the “hard” drugs or the ever increasing prescription drug abusers. It doesn’t reduce crime in our cities (more personal and property crime is attributable to cocaine, meth and heroin users than marijuana). The Mexican drug cartels that currently smuggle drugs into the country will not suddenly stop smuggling, become law-abiding, tax-paying entrepreneurs, and cut their profit margin in the name of generating tax revenue for the U.S. government. They will continue to smuggle and traffic illegally, with the routes that have been long established as successful. The impact on law enforcement will increase, not decrease, as they enforce additional laws about who/what/where drugs are legal. The cost of regulation, licensing, etc will result in increased government expense at the local, state and federal levels.”

A list of Republican Celebs.

Greatest Teen Movies of All Time - Mean Girls

cosmic kisses — Fri, 23 May 2008 04:00:52 -0700

Raised in the African bush country by her zoologist parents, Cady Heron thinks she knows all about the "survival of the fittest". But the law of the jungle takes on a whole new meaning when the home-schooled 15-year old enters public high school for the first time. Trying to find her place between jocks, mathletes, and other subcultures, Cady crosses paths with the meanest species of all - the Queen Bee, a.k.a. the cool and calculating Regina George, leader of the school's most fashionable and feared clique, the Plastics. When Cady falls for Regina's ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels, though, the Queen Bee is stung - and she schemes to destroy Cady's social future. Cady's own claws soon come out as she leaps into a hilarious "Girl World" war that has the whole school running for cover.

Starring:

Lindsay Lohan
Rachel McAdams
Tina Fey
Lacey Chabert
Amanda Seyfried

Betcha Didn't Know:
- Initially, Lindsay Lohan was cast as Regina, but decided to play the "nice girl" so the public wouldn't base her real personality on Regina's. Rachel McAdams was chosen to play the "mean girl" because "only nice girls can play mean girls" according to the producer.
- Rachel McAdams was told to partly model the character of Regina George after Alec Baldwin's performance in Glengarry Glen Ross (1992).
- The skirts for the Christmas talent show are made of plastic; the costume designer says they were made of that fabric to "represent the Plastics".

Quotes:
Gretchen: I'm sorry that people are so jealous of me... but I can't help it that I'm so popular.

Regina: Oh my God, I love your skirt! Where did you get it?
Lea Edwards: It was my mom's in the '80s.
Regina: Vintage, so adorable.
Lea Edwards: Thanks.
Regina: (after girl walks away) That is the ugliest f-ing skirt I've ever seen.

Gretchen: Ex-boyfriends are just off limits to friends. I mean, that's just like the rules of feminism.

Damian: Oh, my God! I love this song!
Janis: I hate this song.
Cady: I know this song!

Janis: That one there, that's Karen Smith. She is one of the dumbest girls you will ever meet. Damien sat next to her in English last year.
Damian: She asked me how to spell orange.
(Cady snickers)
Janis: That little one, that's Gretchen Wieners.
Damian: She's totally rich because her dad invented Toaster Streudels.
Janis: Gretchen Wieners knows everybody's business, she knows everything about everyone.
Damian: That's why her hair is so big, it's full of secrets.
Janis: And evil takes a human form in Regina George. Don't be fooled because she may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing slut faced ho-bag, but in reality, she's so much more than that.
Damian: She's the queen bee - the star, those other two are just her little workers.

Damian: (about Regina) She's fabulous, but she's evil.

This weekend in Austin - Morrissey and Alpha Rev!

~Clifford Antone Week continues
Antone's, Friday 18-Thursday 24
Here it is: a badass lineup of classic Antone’s acts in honor of something no one wants to celebrate – the first anniversary of Clifford Antone’s death. If you’ve forgotten just how hard the Scabs can rock, Friday night’s a good reminder of what Bob Schneider does to a microphone. Sunday features a triple whammy headlined by Jimmie Vaughan, Marcia Ball, and Lavelle White for this Blues Society extravaganza, but expect more names to pop in. Brandon Rhyder pays tribute to Buck Jones on Monday, but don’t miss master songwriter Ray Wylie Hubbard with Walt Wilkins and Josh Grider. The “cast of thousands” on the Tuesday lineup hasn’t been announced, but here’s betting the stars will dim in the sky that night while the club inside dazzles with stellar appearances. No, he’s not one of those Sextons, but Wednesday night, you can hear for yourself how Martin Sexton’s earned his pop chops and critical acclaim. Thursday is Pinetop Perkins’ new DVD/CD release (see "Texas Platters," May 4), and longtime partner in good times Hubert Sumlin makes his way back to Austin for the event with Gary Clark Jr. and Chris Layton in tow. That’s as good a reason as any to spend good money or time on finding a parking space Downtown. Somewhere up there, Cliffy’s lovin’ it. – Margaret Moser

T~hunderchiefs, the Jungle Rockers
Continental Club, Thursday, May 24
Local golden-age pop with a side of old-school garage rock.

~Tower of Power
One World Theatre, Thursday, May 24
What’s hip? Oaktown’s Tower of Power. Formed 40 years ago, the horn-centered, funk-affirmative ensemble maintains their lockstep chops with a hearty touring schedule. In addition to a respectable stable of Seventies soul hits like “You’re Still a Young Man” and “So Very Hard to Go,” the Tower of Power horns have blown for everyone from Elton John to Aaron Neville to Public Image Ltd. 7 & 9:30pm. – Greg Beets

~Emissions From the Monolith Fest
Emo's, Thursday, May 24
Chaos continues this weekend with the ninth Emissions From the Monolith. Formerly a Youngstown, Ohio, venture, the transplanted four-night plod begins Thursday with a triple shot of local metal (Amplified Heat, Tia Carrera, SuperHeavyGoatAss), plus Kylesa’s dual drum and guitar. Friday hoofs it with Throttlerod and Beast, while Saturday highlights include RPG and the tribal thrash of Minsk. Vincebus erupts again Sunday with Blue Cheer, Rwake’s Southern sludge, and Suzukiton’s progressive instrumetalism. See www.emosaustin.com for more. – Austin Powell

SATURDAY

~Morrissey
The Backyard, Saturday, May 26
A full generation after Strangeways, Here We Come, the Smiths loom larger, and closer, than ever. (Hi, Voxtrot!) Capping a month that’s seen muse/nemesis Johnny Marr barbecue the Backyard with Modest Mouse and ex-bassist Andy Rourke DJ at Mohawk, Suedehead himself brushes Bee Cave to make up October’s Halloween-eve cancellation. Paunchier than the Bona Drag days, but not by much, Mozzer’s in a midcareer surge thanks to 2006’s trenchant Ringleader of the Tormentors. Drama-prone protégé Kristeen Young opens. – Christopher Gray

The Jersey Devil

Whiplash — Tue, 08 May 2007 19:15:45 -0700

Although I live in Philly now, I lived in New Jersey for most of my life. And Jersey's most famous paranormal phenomenon is the Jersey Devil. He's said to live in the Pine Barrens, a rural section of the state about 20 minutes or so from where I grew up.

From Wikipedia:

The Jersey Devil is a legendary creature said to inhabit the Pine Barrens in southern New Jersey. The creature is often described as a flying biped with hooves, but there are many variations.

Legends

The most popular version of the Jersey Devil legend begins in the 18th Century when Deborah Smith from England immigrated to the Pine Barrens in southern New Jersey to marry a Mr. Leeds, a rather vain man who wanted several heirs to continue the family name. Consequently, the new wife was continually pregnant. After bearing twelve healthy children, she was dismayed to be pregnant with her thirteenth. She cursed the unborn child, declaring a preference to bear the Devil's child rather than another Leeds. Apparently, her wish was granted as the new child had cloven hooves, claws, and a tail. The horrific newborn proceeded to eat the other Leeds children before escaping through the chimney to begin its reign of terror. There are several variations of the Leeds tale, such as one claiming that when Mrs Leeds became pregnant with her thirteenth child, she remarked, "May it be a devil!". The belief that a deformed child was the work of Satan or a curse was still common during the 1700s.

Encounters

In 1778, Commodore Stephen Decatur, a naval hero, visited the Hanover Iron Works in the Barrens to test cannonballs at a firing range, where he allegedly witnessed a strange, pale white creature winging overhead. Using cannonfire, Decatur punctured the wing membrane of the creature, which continued flying apparently unfazed to the amazement of onlookers.

In 1840, Aaron Roth was blamed for several livestock killings. 1841 saw similar attacks, accompanied by strange tracks and unearthly screams. The devil made an 1859 appearance in Haddonfield. Bridgeton witnessed a flurry of sightings during the winter of 1873.

Joseph Bonaparte (eldest brother of Emperor Napoleon) is said to have witnessed the Jersey Devil while hunting on his Bordentown, New Jersey estate.

January 1909, however, saw the most frenetic period of devil sightings ever recorded. Thousands of people claimed to witness the Jersey Devil during the week of January 16 – 23. Newspapers nationwide followed the story and published eyewitness reports. Hysteria gripped the entire state during this terrible week.

* 16th (Saturday) - The creature was sighted flying over Woodbury.
* 17th (Sunday) - In Bristol, Pennsylvania, several people saw the creature and tracks were found in the snow the following day.
* 18th (Monday) - Burlington was covered in strange tracks that seemed to defy logic; some were found on rooftops, while others started and stopped abruptly with no apparent origin or destination. Similar footprints were found in several other towns.
* 19th (Tuesday) - Nelson Evans and his wife, of Gloucester, allegedly saw the creature outside their window at 2:30 AM .
o Mr Evans gave a descriptive account as follows: "It was about three feet and a half high, with a head like a collie dog and a face like a horse. It had a long neck, wings about two feet long, and its back legs were like those of a crane, and it had horse's hooves. It walked on its back legs and held up two short front legs with paws on them. It didn't use the front legs at all while we were watching. My wife and I were scared, I tell you, but I managed to open the window and say, 'Shoo!' and it turned around, barked at me, and flew away."
o Two Gloucester hunters tracked the creature's perplexing trail for twenty miles. The trail appeared to "jump" fences and squeeze under eight-inch gaps. Similar trails were reported in several other towns.
* 20th (Wednesday) - In Haddonfield and Collingswood, posses were formed to find the devil. They supposedly watched the creature fly toward Moorestown, where it was later seen by at least two more people.
* 21st (Thursday) - The creature attacked a trolley car in Haddon Heights, but was chased off. Trolley cars in several other towns began to maintain armed guards, and several poultry farmers found their chickens dead. The devil was reported to collide with an electric rail in Clayton, but was not killed. A telegraph worker near Atlantic City claimed to have shot the devil, only to watch it limp into the woods. The creature apparently was not fazed as it continued the rampage through Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and West Collingswood, New Jersey (where it was supposedly hosed by the local fire department). The devil seemed poised to attack nearby people, who defensively threw any available objects at it. The creature suddenly flew away -- and reemerged in Camden to injure a dog, ripping a chunk of flesh from its cheek before the dog's owner drove it away. This was the first reported devil attack on a living creature.
* 22nd (Friday) - Last day of sightings. Many towns were panic stricken, with many businesses and schools closed in fear. Fortunately, the creature was seen only a few times that day and did not attack.

In addition to these encounters, the creature was seen flying over several other towns. Since the week of terror in 1909, sightings have been much less frequent, but did not end by any means. In 1951 there was another panic in Gibbstown, New Jersey, after local boys claimed to have seen a screaming humanoid monster. As recently as 1991, a pizza delivery driver in Edison, New Jersey described a night encounter with a white, horselike creature. In Freehold, New Jersey, in 2002, a woman supposedly saw a huge creature with batlike wings near her home.

Descriptions

Many different descriptions have been offered by alleged witnesses of the creature, which are as follows:

* "I looked out upon the Delaware and saw flying diagonally across what appeared to be a large crane, but which was emitting a glow like a firefly. Its head resembled that of a ram, with curled horns, and its long thick neck was thrust forward in flight. It had long thin wings and short legs, the front legs shorter than the hind." - E.W. Minster, Bristol, PA. Sighted on January 16, 1909.
* "It was three feet high... long black hair over its entire body, arms and hands like a monkey, face like a dog, split hooves [...] and a tail a foot long". - George Snyder, Moorestown, NJ. Sighted on January 20, 1909.
* "In general appearance it resembled a kangaroo... It has a long neck and from what glimpse I got of its head its features are hideous. It has wings of a fairly good size and of course in the darkness looked black. Its legs are long and somewhat slender and were held in just such a position as a swan's when it is flying...It looked to be about four feet high". - Lewis Boeger, Haddon Heights, NJ. Sighted on January 21, 1909.
* "As nearly as I can describe the terror, it had the head of a horse, the wings of a bat and a tail like a rat's, only longer". - Howard Campbell, who claimed to have shot the devil near Atlantic City (see above). Sighted on January 21, 1909.

While the descriptions vary, several aspects remain fairly constant, such as the devil's long neck, wings and hooves. The creature is often said to have a horselike head and tail. Its reputed height varies from about three feet to more than seven feet. Many sightings report the creature to have glowing red eyes that can paralyze a man, and that it utters a high, humanlike scream.
