First germinated in 1993, the 420 Rally carries on the libertarian tradition begun by Ken Gorman, an OG marijuana reformer who was gunned down during a 2007 home invasion.

While Denvers weather might be a little less than cooperative as the 420 tribe gathers to celebrate both Gormans vision of legalization and the reform movements mind-blowing progress over the past 12 months it will hardly dampen the flame of excitement.

Beyonc"s Ivy Park crashed websites. But stores, not so much.

Beyoncé IVY PARK Haul & Try On - TOPSHOP | Carly Musleh

The long awaited launch day for Beyonc"s athletic line, Ivy Park, finally came today and in brick-and-mortar stores, went with little fanfare. Outside ofWashington, D.C., there was a short frenzy inthe Topshop section ofNordstrom, but nothing like the H&M collaborations of yore.

One shopper apparently scooped up themeager four headbands put out on shelves shortly after doors opened -- though why the store only had four or five headbands in stock is open for speculation. Other branded content, including the bodysuit from the ubiquitous ads and most sizes of sports bras, went quickly. Otherwise, the section barely looked picked over and crowds had completely vanished an hour and a half after opening.

In New York, the SoHo Topshop was so empty, New York Magazineconcluded the city was too busyworking to show up. Cosmopolitan was left aghast at the utter lack of mayhem.

The London storefront(where Topshop is based) was significantly more packed, but there were no reports of cart swapping or hair pulling or any of the frenetic activity that lesser brands have commanded. Remember Missoni for Target? Versace for H&M? Even Lilly Pulitzer, an arguablyaffordable, easily accessible brand without the help of Target, whipped up lines for those patterned tumblers everyone had to get their hands on.

Is camping out for big designer collaborationsa thing of the past? Or has it moved completely online?

A calm chaos in London.(Photo: Stuart C. Wilson, Getty Images)

Topshop"s websitereportedly crashedas the BeyHive swarmed.Manyfrustrated voices were heard on Twitter, where the Hive went to air their grievances at missing out on those supportive leggings. Beyonce tour tickets were easier to get than a hoodie, many lamented. Topshop andNordstrom"sdigital press teams were#OnIt though, tweeting at disgruntled customers, making assurances that stocks would be replenished.

Perhaps it"s no longer necessary. Who wouldn"t want to roll over in bed and enter a credit card number instead of making a trek to the store?Or is it that, as Cosmo points out, the line will be in stores for some time --there"s no rush to start looking flawless, you can get it in two weeks.

It"s crazy to think that there"d come a time when we"d miss the feeding frenzy of a limited edition launch. But battling to fill an electronic cart doesn"t feel the same.It"s not as instantly gratifying as walking out, lusted over, cheap swag in hand. And an Ivy Park tee to wear to work out in that night.

Longtime Clinton Attorney Now Representing Hillary in FBI"s Criminal Probe

Smiley feat. Kaan - Criminal (Official Video)

From Whitewater to the Lewinsky affair, David Kendall has been there for the Clintons. And now LawNewz.com has learned that the longtime Clinton attorneyis also representing Hillary Clinton in the FBIs probe into her private email server. He will likely not be far when she is interviewed by the FBI, which is expected to happen soon. Kendall knows a thing or two about classified information: He helped former CIA director David Patreaus avoid felony charges when Patreaus gave black books to a mistress who was writing his book.

Several reports indicate that the FBI investigation has entered its final stages. So it is no surprise that Clintonwould need a lawyer by her side, and who better than the man who has been loyal to the Clinton family for more than twenty years. The choice of Kendall is not shocking as hes also been handling the State Department and Senates inquiry into her private emails for months now. There was some speculation that as the investigation reportedly intensified, she may hire another attorney to deal with the FBIs probe specifically, but Clinton is clearly sticking with a loyal friend whose been on the case now for awhile.

Kendall is known to be somewhat media shy and usually avoids the spotlight (he turned down an interview for this profile piece). He first got to know Bill and Hillary Clinton as theirclassmate atYale Law School in the 1970s.

Kendall joined the white shoe Washington D.C. law firm Williams & Connolly in 1978. In his own websites bio, it says David Kendall has had a checkered legal career. His acquaintancewith the legal process began when he was arrested several times (but convicted only once) in Mississippiduring the summerof 1964 while attempting to register voters. He started off his career defending civil rights cases at the NAACP LegalDefense & Education Fund. He won the famous Supreme Court case,Coker v. Georgia which declared itunconstitutional to execute someone who committed the crime of rape.

But unequivocally, what thrust him most into the (unwanted?) spotlight was hisdefense of the Clintons over the last two decades. According to a1998 Washington Postarticle that detailed the key players in President Clintons Lewinsky scandal, Kendall certainly has his critics:

Second-guessing Kendall has become a bloodsport in Washington where some of his fellow lawyers fault Kendall for not having Clinton come forward earlier with the truth about Lewinsky, for letting him testify They also blame Kendall for pursuing a legalistic argument that receiving oral s*x did not constitute a sexual relationship that has proved widely unpalatable.

He ran into to trouble again last year when he kept a thumb drive that contained potentially classified emails from Clintons private server at his law firm.

In most situations like this youd expect that a warrant would be issued and the Marshals and the feds, FBI, somebody would go and get the thumb rive and take it somewhere where it would be considered safe by the government, national security attorney Edward MacMahnon Jr. told Fox News back in August.

Despite his forays with controversy, Kendall has a reputation as a dogged attorney with a great deal of integrity. Hes represented a wide range of white collar, and corporate defendants including Arthur Andersen in the University Savings Case in Houston.

Washington D.C. insiders suspect that Kendall is working closely with a team of attorneys as the FBI probe reportedly wraps ups. FBI director James Comey has kept the details of what their probe entails and if Clinton is even a target under close wraps. In fact, agents working the case have reportedly been told they will be polygraphed from time to time to avoid leaks. If charges are even recommended by the FBI, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch would also need to sign off on them. Kendall clearly is well aware this case has implications far beyond the legal matter at hand. He is certainly no novice at waging legal warfare for the Clintons, and this case will prove no exception.

APD officer says motherly instinct kicked in during Amber Alert rescue

Amber Alert

With big brown eyes, 9-month-old Ariana Smith looked up at Albuquerque Police officer Cathie Offret as she did everything she could to help the tired and confused baby.

The images are seen on lapel video released by the Albuquerque Police Department.

Arianahad been missing for hours Monday, prompting an Amber Alert across New Mexico.

According to investigators, Lieghraughnzo Benally, a man the infants mother had just met, allegedly sped off in the car with the baby inside. Deputies said he later ditched the car, and the little girl.

A couple spotted the stolen SUV in their driveway hours later with baby Ariana still inside.

Police can be heard in the lapel video gauging her body temperature at 102.8 degrees.

Officer Offret was the first to arrive, and can be seen immediately trying to cool the baby down with water from a water bottle, and taking off the babys onesie.

Offret, who has a 14-month-old at home, said it was instinct.

Just looking at her, I knew right away that something was wrong and that it was serious, said Offret.

Offret said she couldnt help but think of her own daughter, and how she would want someone to do everything they could to save her. Still, she admits she couldnt help but imagine the worst.

I just didn"t feel like she was going to be OK. The whole time I was petrified that she was going to die, said Offret.

Baby Ariana was rushed to the hospital, where doctors assured Offret the little girl was going to be just fine.

It was a relief to Offret, who rushed home to see her own baby.

I just held her and cried and rocked her. I was so relieved to see her, she said.

Offret said she went to check on Ariana the next day and was pleased to see her moving and laughing.
