North Liberty to consider letting urban chickens stay for good

Posted on by

City Council will vote on Tuesday.

December 19, 2014 | 7:28 pm

NORTH LIBERTY Daniela Williams has been raising chickens at her home in a subdivision on the north side of town for about a year.

Her four chickens provide eggs, fertilizer for her garden, they eat up Japanese beetles and grubs, and they are just fun to have around, she said.

It has been a great learning experience for both us and our neighbors, especially the children who live near us, said Williams, 38, whos lived in North Liberty for about seven years.

This week, North Liberty City Council appears primed to allow urban chickens to stay for good.

Williams was among five who sought permits after North Liberty amended its livestock ordinance in the city code to allow chickens in town in September 2013.

However, there was a catch. The exemption was set to sunset at the end of 2014, meaning Williams and the others could lose their chickens.

Wed known all along that there was a chance wed have to get rid of our chickens at the end of the year, she said.

A few months ago, with the deadline approaching, Williams asked city council to consider removing the sunset as well as making a few changes to the rules.

Colorado vows to defend pot law against states' challenge

Colorado's top law enforcement official promises to vigorously defend the state's historic law legalizing marijuana after Nebraska and Oklahoma asked the U.S. Supreme Court to declare it unconstitutional, saying the drug is freely flowing into neighboring states.

The two states filed a lawsuit seeking a court order to prevent Colorado from enforcing the measure known as Amendment 64, which was approved by voters in 2012 and allows recreational marijuana for adults over 21. The complaint says the measure runs afoul of federal law and therefore violates the Constitution's supremacy clause, which says federal laws trump state laws.

Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said the lawsuit was without merit.

"Because neighboring states have expressed concern about Colorado-grown marijuana coming into their states, we are not entirely surprised by this action," he said. "However, it appears the plaintiffs' primary grievance stems from non-enforcement of federal laws regarding marijuana, as opposed to choices made by the voters of Colorado."

The lawsuit says Colorado marijuana flows into neighboring states undermining their efforts to enforce their anti-marijuana laws.

"This contraband has been heavily trafficked into our state," Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning said at a news conference in Lincoln. "While Colorado reaps millions from the sale of pot, Nebraska taxpayers have to bear the cost."

Colorado has raised more than $60 million in taxes, licenses and fees from medical and recreational marijuana, which has been sold in stores since January.

The lawsuit says the sales have strained Nebraska and Oklahoma's finances and legal systems. Police are spending more time and money making arrests, housing inmates, impounding vehicles, seizing drugs and handling other problems related to Colorado pot.

Bruning, a Republican, blamed U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for failing to enforce the federal law's ban on drugs in Colorado.

Peter Thiel takes HGH, plans to live until he's 120

The venture capitalist and libertarian offers that he takes HGH to boost his muscles and longevity. But why choose 120? Why not live forever?

HGH apparently makes investor Peter Thiel more robust. Stephen Shankland/CNET

I hadn't ever thought of Peter Thiel as an NFL linebacker.

His backing tends to be more of companies like Facebook. His championing is of libertarian principles, rather than of the joy of tearing a quarterback's head from his torso.

I have now learned, though, that the famous venture capitalist has something in common with those large, shiny-panted defenders: He takes human growth hormones.

No, I am not offering a gossipy expose. This revelation, according to Bloomberg, comes from Thiel himself. Indeed, HGH is part of his dietary regimen.

He explained his HGH habit: "It helps maintain muscle mass, so you're much less likely to get bone injuries, arthritis."

Surely, though, there must be downsides to this brave bulking. He admitted: "There's always a worry that it increases your cancer risk, but I'm hopeful that we'll get cancer cured in the next decade."

This is marvelous news. It's also a marvelous gamble. It's true that many of us gamble with our bodies while quietly uttering: "One more pinot won't hurt. Twelve more slices of bacon will be fine."

You'll be wondering what else Thiel allows into his body. He told Bloomberg that he follows the Paleo diet. This consists of not eating anything that its proponents say wasn't around in Paleolithic times. So Thiel doesn't allow himself refined sugar. I am delighted to report, though, that he does permit his body to enjoy the glory of red wine.

Paul, Rubio clash over Obama's Cuba policy

Posted on by

Published December 19, 2014

Flipping the script on a Republican rival, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul on Friday criticized Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as "an isolationist" as the GOP's intra-party feud over President Obama's new Cuba policy intensified.

The charge was unusual for the libertarian-minded Paul, often cast as an isolationist himself. On Friday, however, Paul made the case for opening up trade and engagement with communist Cuba.

In a tweet, Paul said Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, "is acting like an isolationist who wants to retreat to our borders and perhaps build a moat. I reject this isolationism."

Paul was responding to Rubio's comments in an interview the night before with Fox News, in which Rubio said Paul had "no idea what he's talking about" when it comes to Cuba. A Rubio spokesman declined to comment.

The two White House prospects represent opposing viewpoints on Obama's new Cuba policy, which aims to restore diplomatic relations with the communist island, ease economic and travel restrictions and seek to partner with Congress to end the decades-long trade embargo.

Paul was one of the few high-profile Republicans to support Obama's plan to open trade with Cuba. Rubio, who often sides with the GOP's foreign policy hawks, has been critical of Obama's push to establish ties with Cuba, saying it amounts to appeasing the Castro regime.

The exchange offered a preview of a foreign policy debate that could emerge in the next presidential campaign. Rubio and Paul are both considering GOP bids and the Kentucky senator has been pushing back against concerns among establishment Republicans that his libertarian leanings would lead the U.S. to retreat from the rest of the world. Rubio has advocated for a muscular U.S. foreign policy that demands American leadership around the globe.

Despite the clash with Paul, the Florida senator has become the face of Republican opposition to Obama's plan. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, a Paul ally, described Rubio this week as the lawmaker who "knows more about this than almost anybody in the Senate -- if not everybody in the Senate."

Rubio has vowed to prevent Obama from opening an embassy on the island nation with its own ambassador, drawing a sharp response from White House spokesman Josh Earnest. He said it would be "odd" for Rubio to threaten to oppose a U.S. ambassador to Cuba given that he voted for sending Ambassador Max Baucus to China, another country where the U.S. has concerns about the political system and human rights.
