CBS Denver: Pot Ballot Issues Cover Both Sides In 2 Colorado Cities Oct 31st 2012, 22:40 CBS Denver CBSDenver.com - News for Colorado and Denver from CBS4, plus Sports, Weather, Traffic and Top Spots Pot Ballot Issues Cover Both Sides In 2 Colorado Cities Oct 31st 2012, 22:40 FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4)- Medical marijuana dispensaries are on the ballot in two Northern Colorado cities; each asks the opposite question. In Berthoud, voters will decide whether to ban dispensaries within city limits and in Fort Collins, an initiative would overturn the ban voters approved last year. “As you can see, we have a lot of edibles and topicals,” said medical marijuana dispensary owner Kevin Ballinger. Ballinger owns the one and only medical marijuana dispensary in Berthoud. He’s been in business since 2009. The future of his business is in the hands of his fellow citizens. “We’ve invested everything into this business,” said Ballinger. “They want to limit it to no marijuana in city limits in Berthoud which means we would be kicked out of Berthoud. A group of citizens in Berthoud collected enough signatures on a petition to get the initiative on the November ballot. “If we lose the election we have 90 days to shut down,” said Ballinger. In Fort Collins, the city received enough signatures on a petition to ask voters to reconsider the ban they placed on medical marijuana dispensaries approved by voters in November 2011. “They needed 4,214 signatures which is 15 percent of the total ballots cast in the last regular election,” said Fort Collins City Clerk Wanda Nelson. Nelson said they received more than what was required. Now it’s up to Northern Colorado voters to decide what to do. “I think that if people would research it and they would put themselves in other people’s shoes they would understand that it really isn’t a horrible thing. It’s a good thing,” said Ballinger. Media files: medical-marijuana.jpg?w=300 You are receiving this email because you subscribed to this feed at blogtrottr.com.

Business Buzz 66: The Atlantic Wire: Obama's Still Up but Ohio Looks Tight

Business Buzz 66 Business news.....www.businessbuzz66.koolcentre.in,movies news.....www.koolcentre.in

The Atlantic Wire: Obama's Still Up but Ohio Looks Tight Oct 31st 2012, 22:29 The Atlantic Wire Latest entries Obama's Still Up but Ohio Looks Tight Oct 31st 2012, 22:01 Obama's up by slim margins in two Ohio polls, a national poll has Obama up by five, Michigan might be up for grabs, Obama's up by eight in a Wisconsin poll, and Europeans like Obama. Here's our guide to today's polls and why they matter. Findings: Obama is up by five and two in polls out from Ohio. Pollsters: Quinnipiac/CBS News/New York Times, University of Cincinnati Institute for Policy Research Ohio Poll Methodology: For Quinnipiac: Landline and cell phone poll of 1,110 likely voters in Ohio October 23 through 28 with a +/-3 percentage point margin of error. For University of Cincinnati: Landline and cell phone poll of 1,182 likely voters October 25 through 30 with a +/-2.9 percent margin of error. Why it matters: As Jeff Zeleny and Dalia Sussman of the New York Times write the states electoral votes are seen by both campaigns as "as critical to victory." For both, they say, the aim is targeting white voters without college degrees, where the two candidates are even in the state in this poll. So, while these polls show Obama is in a slim lead in the state, Romney is very much still in the game. At the Washington Post Chris Cillizza writes that "there are any number of reasons to believe that Romney can’t, won’t and shouldn’t give up on winning in Ohio." Caveat: According to the Quinnipiac poll Obama is leading in early voting, but based on the Real Clear Politics average Obama's lead is by far not as large as five points—he stands at up 2.3 points above Romney. Findings: A United Technologies/National Journal poll has Obama up by five points nationally. Pollsters: United Technologies/National Journal Methodology: Landline and cell phone poll of 713 likely voters October 25 through 28 with a 4.4 percentage point margin of error. Why it matters: As we became used to seeing Romney up by five in Gallup, this poll is striking for swinging in the other direction. Some, including Nate Silver, have taken to looking as Gallup as something of an outlier. Caveat: In the Real Clear Politics Average Romney is up by a mere .2 points. Findings: Obama leads 47.7 to 45 percent in a Michigan poll. Update: Another poll from EPIC-MRA has Obama up by six. Pollster: Detroit News/WDIV Local 4 Methodology: Survey of 600 likely voters October 27 through 29 with a margin of error of +/-4 percentage points. Why it matters: Romney is still clearly at play in his home state—another recent poll showed the candidates essentially tied—where Restore Our Future is engaging in an ad blitz. Caveat: Obama is countering the pro-Romney ads. Findings: Obama is up by eight in Wisconsin based on a poll from Marquette University Law School Pollster: Marquette Methodology: Poll of 1,243 likely voters October 25 through 28 with a +/-2.8 percentage points. Why it matters: The Marquette poll gives the state firmly to Obama, even though as Tom Kludt at Talking Points Memo points out, this has not always been the case. This is a state, as Kludt points out, that Democrats have carried in every presidential race since 1984, but it's Ryan's home state and has been considered a swing. Caveat: He's only up by four in the RCP average. Findings: Obama would win with 90 percent of the vote if Europeans were voting. Pollster: YouGov Methodology: Poll of British, German, French, Danish, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian adults. Why it matters: Well, it doesn't really, except for the fact that Obama is still in good standing with Europeans. For what it's worth Obama also gets 65 percent support in a poll of philosophers. Caveat: As YouGov Director of Political and Social Research Joe Twyman says, Romney just "has yet to make much of an impression on Europeans."

Business Buzz 66: The Atlantic Wire: The LAPD Worries Over Weed Candy

Business Buzz 66 Business news.....www.businessbuzz66.koolcentre.in,movies news.....www.koolcentre.in

The Atlantic Wire: The LAPD Worries Over Weed Candy Oct 31st 2012, 22:29 The Atlantic Wire Latest entries The LAPD Worries Over Weed Candy Oct 31st 2012, 22:27 The L.A.P.D. is concerned about a Halloween menace that hasn't actually terrorized anyone yet: potheads giving out weed infused candy. They are warning the media about the potential dangers and warning signs of the dopest candy in your bag of loot.  "It doesn’t smell like straight bud," Sgt. Glenn Walsh told ABC News, "but it has an odor to it consistent with marijuana, that skunk smell." With the rise in marijuana dispensaries in L.A., police are concerned that some of the cooked offerings might make their way into kid's treat bags. The thing they're most concerned with is copycat weed candy: chocolate bars dressed up to mimic a mass-market bar, but contain that extra special ingredient. The L.A. Weekly's Dennis Romero reports some potential fake bars are: "Keef Kat (which looks like Kit Kat), Reefer's (Reese's), and 3 Rastateer's (3 Musketeers)." The L.A.P.D. said they haven't heard reports of anyone actually giving out weed candy on Halloween, but they still want you to be vigilant. Be careful out there, everyone. Pot brownies are the new razorblades in candy apples. It could come in a fake chocolate bar, or in seemingly innocent homemade treats like brownies, fudge, or even delicious looking butterscotch. Suddenly that grandma is a lot "cooler" than you thought.  Related Stories Looters Fail to Tear New York City Apart East River Bridges Will Be Restricted to 'High Occupancy' Vehicles Andrew Cuomo's Guide to Taking Politics Out of Climate Change Brooklyn Nets-New York Knicks NBA Opener Is Off Your Jokes About Bloomberg's Sign Language Interpreters Aren't Funny Media files: large.jpg (image/jpeg) You are receiving this email because you subscribed to this feed at blogtrottr.com.

Business Buzz 66: The Atlantic Wire: For a Second We Had to Imagine Life Without Gmail

The Atlantic Wire: For a Second We Had to Imagine Life Without Gmail Oct 31st 2012, 22:29 The Atlantic Wire Latest entries For a Second We Had to Imagine Life Without Gmail Oct 31st 2012, 22:13 For a few minutes, the already deprived masses thought that the 21st century comfort gods had taken away Google's services, in addition to the electricity, cell service, and WiFi that Sandy had left them without. According to frantic tweets and DownRightNow.com Gmail, Gchat, Google Reader and other Google things didn't work for about five minutes just before 6 p.m.. At the time, that seemed utterly unfair considering the circumstances of life right now, in which people are forced to huddle around the 21st century fire that is the surge protector. And so, we saw a little bit of a freakout: GMail is DOWN. Someone please save me from this awful nightmare. — Not Bill Walton (@NotBillWalton) October 31, 2012 First our power, then our cell service, then our water. Now? Our Gmail. — Maxwell Zorick (@maxwellzorick) October 31, 2012 WORST RT @igorbobic: Gmail down. Pack it in, people. — Callie Schweitzer (@cschweitz) October 31, 2012 But, it turned out to be a false alarm. Or rather, a very short lived emergency. Google is working just fine now. And we have all learned a very valuable lesson: Be thankful for what you have.  Related Stories Where Sandy Knocked Out the Internet Depending on Who You Ask Reddit Is Worth $240 Million or $700 Million or $50 Million Where You're Not Likely to Get Cell Service Because of Sandy When the Storm Made This News Junkie Go Cold Turkey Pressure Cooking Algae-Based Biofuel; Researchers Map Bird Evolution Media files: large.png (image/png) You are receiving this email because you subscribed to this feed at blogtrottr.com.

Business Buzz 66: The Atlantic Wire: Nicholas Sparks Cannot Be Stopped

Business Buzz 66 Business news.....www.businessbuzz66.koolcentre.in,movies news.....www.koolcentre.in

The Atlantic Wire: Nicholas Sparks Cannot Be Stopped Oct 31st 2012, 22:29 The Atlantic Wire Latest entries Nicholas Sparks Cannot Be Stopped Oct 31st 2012, 22:22 Today in show business news: America's favorite cheese monger moves to TV, Charlie Sheen is going to be an even richer man, and SNL announces some upcoming guests.  Another spectacular disaster will soon befall America, a perfect storm trifecta just like so many other catastrophes. You see, it seems that aggressive schmaltz peddler Nicholas Sparks has three, count 'em three, television series currently in development. The terrible lineup: A Bend in the Road, a TNT pilot adapted from a Sparks novel described as a "romantic drama" about "a sheriff who must deal with problems in a coastal Georgia town that sees its population soar during the summer tourist season. The novel centered on the relationship between the recently widowed lawman and his son's second grade teacher." So, some crinkly eyed thirtysomething TV actor will play the soulful sheriff and some dewy dope with moxie will play the teacher. Great. Next is ABC Family's The Falls, which is a modern-day adaptation of Romeo & Juliet. So that ought to be mostly a terrible nightmare. And finally there's Deliverance Creek, a Lifetime project about "a post-Civil War drama that explores the lengths one woman goes to protect her family, as she is caught between trying to be good and surviving." It's being written by a Jane By Design writer. So...  Everything's awful. The waters may recede and the power may flicker back on, but all the television will show us will be Nicholas Sparks programs with truly terrible titles like Deliverance Creek. Good luck to you and yours. [The Hollywood Reporter] More terrible TV news: Fox TV stations will start airing syndicated episodes of Charlie Sheen's FX sitcom Anger Management starting in 2014. So basically what's being said here is that some people have seen fit to give Charlie Sheen a lot more money. He already has lots and lots of money, but these people think he should have some more. Because he always does great things with his money. Great and useful things. So here's some more, Charlie. And, hey, here's even more. Let's just keep giving Charlie Sheen money until he bursts. [Deadline] Saturday Night Live has announced a new slate of hosts and musical guests, including an Anne Hathaway/Rihanna night that ought to be insufferable (one half of it, anyway) and a Jeremy Renner/Maroon 5 evening the week after that promises to be uncomfortable because it's always a little awkward when intense actors like Jeremy Renner try to yuk it up in sketches. Maybe he will prove surprisingly adept at it, but something tells me he won't be. Also, Maroon 5. Ick. Why couldn't they have put Maroon 5 on Anne Hathaway's night so we'd know full well to avoid anything even remotely close to NBC on that night? Now we have to warily watch one week for Rihanna and sort of tune in for Jeremy Renner the next, all while desperately trying to avoid Anne Hathaway and Adam Levine's soul-sucking scenery chewing. Oh well. [Entertainment Weekly] Speaking of soul-sucking, the Style network has announced that it has renewed stylist reality show Jerseylicious for a fifth season. Surprising considering New Jersey doesn't exist anymore. That's what the news said, right? It's all been claimed by Poseidon. So I guess the fifth season will just be half-hour installments of a still camera trained on the cruel green sea. Terrence Malick presents: Jerseylicious.

Business Buzz 66: The Atlantic Wire: Joe's Very Weird Uncle Day

Business Buzz 66 Business news.....www.businessbuzz66.koolcentre.in,movies news.....www.koolcentre.in

The Atlantic Wire: Joe's Very Weird Uncle Day Oct 31st 2012, 22:29 The Atlantic Wire Latest entries Joe's Very Weird Uncle Day Oct 31st 2012, 21:59 Weird Uncle Joe Biden showed up to campaign for Barack Obama in Florida today, and man, was he on top of his weird uncle game. "I'm being a good Biden today," he said.  How good? Well first, it being Florida and really sunny, Uncle Joe wore his signature aviators to speak at rallies—a perfect look for a Biden-licious day.  He also talked about running for office...four years from now. At an unscheduled stop in Sarasota at old-timey restaurant Station 400, Uncle Joe was feeling good, hugging "aging groupies," as Los Angeles Times' Michael A. Memoli observed. One woman, after snagging a photo with the VP, said she couldn't wait to share the photo with her Republican brother. But why wait? In warm Uncle Joe fashion, he said he'd call the brother up right now. So he did, and the brother got talking about health care, and Joe really wanted to get into it but those darn aids pulled him back. “Look, I’m not trying to talk you into voting for me, I just wanted to say hi to you,” Biden told the brother. “And after it's all over, when your insurance rates go down, then you’ll vote for me in 2016.” He said "whole load," hehe. Uncle Joe has been super frustrated by Republican statements recently and just wants to let it all out. So of course, to illustrate this, he uses a metaphor that the kid's table would snicker at: "As they say in my business," he told a rally, "I'm going to give you the whole load today." He made another inappropriate remark about Indians. Despite previous reprimands, Uncle Joe just can't stop being awkward with Indian people. There was that time he used an Indian accent when pretending to be a call center worker, and there was that other time he said you have to have an Indian accent to go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts. That's not okay, Uncle Joe! But then on Wednesday, he came face-to-face with a real live Indian American, and he botched it again. From Buzzfeed's Zeke Miller:  Biden turned to the group of guys, then, according to the pool report, Biden asked one of them, “Are you Indian?”  “American!” the man responded.  He forgot where he is again. Uncle Joe never seems to remember where he is, like that one uncle who never remembers where you live now. He's always traveling, you know? And today in Florida, he did it again. When referencing the Cleveland Plain Dealer, he calls it "one of the major newspapers in this state." Cleveland, if you recall, is in Ohio.  Oh, don't worry, fumbling Uncle Joe: It'll all be over soon.
