Schwarzenegger Decriminalizes Marijuana in California

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law a bill downgrading the possession of an ounce or less of marijuana from a misdemeanor to an infraction.
[...]
The bill makes possession of up-to an ounce an infraction; like a traffic ticket, punishable by a simple $100 fine and no arrest record.

The Governor said that the bill is not intended to make it easier for people to have cannabis, but instead to ease the state's financial burden of the cost of enforcing the previous policy.

"Gov. Schwarzenegger deserves credit for sparing the state's taxpayers the cost of prosecuting minor pot offenders," Gieringer said. "Californians increasingly recognize that the war on marijuana is a waste of law enforcement resources."

The new law will not take effect until January 1, 2011, and it will still remain relevant even if Proposition 19 passes.

Coming To Vegas? Make Sure To Try Out The New ‘Death Ray’ Before Hitting The Buffet!

This is all over the local news here in Vegas. As Paris Hilton would say, "That's so hot!"

MGM Resorts International is taking the heat for an intense beam of searing desert sunlight, jokingly dubbed the "death ray," that some hotel guests say poses a risk of severe burns to bathers lounging poolside. The beam is actually a concentrated reflection of solar rays bouncing off the gleaming glass facade of the concave-shaped, high-rise Vdara hotel and condominium, which opened on the Las Vegas "strip" in December.

Local media, as well as some hotel staff and guests, have come to refer to the reflection as the "death ray," but MGM Resorts officials prefer to call it a "solar convergence phenomenon."

"The refraction moves across the pool deck over a period 90 minutes," company spokesman Gordon Absher told Reuters. "It's never in the same place from day to day or week to week because the sun its changing its elevation in the sky."

[...The] concentrated sunlight remains hot enough at certain times, in certain spots, to melt plastic and singe hair, said William Pintas, 49, a Chicago lawyer and Vdara condo owner who first encountered the effect earlier after a dip in the pool.

When his head started burning, he thought it was from chemicals in the pool. [...] Pintas said he could even smell his hair starting to burn.

Wanna take bets on when CSI has a show based on this? Perhaps they should do a crossover show with 'Burn Notice'.
