Earlier this week I had this not so brilliant idea for us to make Christmas wish lists. I had just told my husband I didn't really want anything for Christmas, then I came into the office and said "let's make wish lists for the blog". Well, that was easier said than done… but without further adieu, a few things we have our eyes on…
(a) — (b) — (c) — (d) — (e) — (f) — (g) — (h) — (i) — (j)
I do not know a thing about sewing machines (other than the kid-friendly one my grandmother gave to me when I was younger!). I would just wish for a good sewing machine to get me through my projects. Emissary "Crisscross Lamp" – I can't get over the silhouette and color! Baggu No.6 "Constellation" – just a favorite between Paula and I. Trench coat -I LOVE COATS. I am in love with these vintage-inspired earrings. Auburn Tigers #90 jersey – if you know who is selling them let me know, WAR EAGLE! "Mary McDonalds Interiors" She has such an elegant design style – I would love to peruse through this book. TOMS! "Recipes from an Italian Summer"- I love Italian meals. Fresh "Citron De Vigne Eau De Parfum" – Erika brought us all back a sampler after her New York trip, and this scent smells heavenly!
(a) — (b) — (c) — (d) — (e) — (f) — (g) — (h) — (i) — (j)
The flats, good (comfortable) flats are hard to find. I bet Frye knows how to do flats, if Santa brings them, I'll let you know. The simple little earrings, versatile. The Katie Ridder fabric, fresh pillows for my sofa perhaps? The throw is 100% cotton and that turquoise stitching… yum. I think I need two of these. The watch, I have one similar with a green face, but I like the white face. The ipad case, truth be known I need the ipad to go inside too. The boots, I think these would be a nice addition to my collection. Spoon rest… I have one of these and love it, but sometimes your pot needs a lid and that means you need a traditional spoon rest. The plaid Shaw Couture Carpet would be nice bound for an area rug for my bedroom. The rain jacket, mine died this year and my mom has this one, simple and practical. I like practical… most of the time.
(a) — (b) — (c) — (d) — (e) — (f) — (g) — (h) — (i) — (j)
I have been in love with the supple looking Lucky purse forever. That Soap and Paper factory Roland Pine scented candle was updated this year in a fun, new package. It has the perfect non-fake Christmas tree scent. One of Katrina Schmidt-Rinke's dreamy watercolors would be the best Christmas present ever. That spindle leg table- obsessed. My Dad's old Seiko watch, which I stole and have been meaning to get repaired and resized…sorry Dad! I can't help but want these moose mugs… Christmas Vacation classics. Essie's "Steel-ing the Scene" is my favorite winter nailpolish. My childhood is filled with recipes from Tea-Time at the Masters. Norma Jean's Ham Rolls, which has to be one of the best recipes of all time, are always present on Christmas morning. I love my Lucchese boots and these have such great detail. However when you get down to it, what I really want is for my grandma to hand over that loveseat she's been hoarding and to get it recovered in this Mally Skok fabric.

The only thing that ever really worked
By annie
from springfield, ma
About Me Brand Buyer
Comments about Perricone MD Intensive Pore Minimizer:
I'm 68. Struggled with oily skin, acne, etc. since my 20's. Stopped the acne with a drug treatment, but nothing would control the oily pores on my nose and cheeks. This stuff is magic to me and doesn't burn my skin. It makes my nose peel about once a week but that exposes fresh skin. Pores are much smaller, many oily plugs gone, oil and sweat are able to come out of the pores. This is SO worth the money. One bottle lasts me almost 6 months, and I put it on every night.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best Toner I ever discovered
By Radhi
from Dallas, TX
It is fascinating how this product helps to keep pores at check, my biggest concerns are open pores on my cheeks and uneven texture, this product sure helps with it. It also does not contain any harmful ingredients which eliminates stinging and drying effect. Love it! Ladies, its worth a shot. I constantly keep trying different products and try to find the best there is for my skin, this definitely is my stop for a toner for now.

Poor investment....
By MRL
from Virginia
Just purchased this product a few days ago. I have oily skin and I haven't had break outs in a few years except for a couple minor pimples during menstrual cycle. I have used this a few times as directed and I now have cystic acne on my checks and chin. The blemishes would itch and then become painful and bleed. At first I thought it was poison ivy because that is similar symptoms that I was experiencing. My skin was very sensitive to any foundation, moisturizer, etc. it would burn like fire for a day or two after use of this product. I now have wasted my money and I have cystic acne which is embarrassing and very difficult to treat. I am not a person who normally writes reviews for anything, but after seeing other reviews with similar symptoms I now know that it was indeed this product to cause this reaction. I would not recommend this product at all! Save your money and invest in something that actually works!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It reacts weird
By Dewlanna
from Orange County, CA
i think it kinda does what it says it does. Here's my issue: i use a MAC brush applicator to put it on. It has white bristles. After using this product...the bristles turn gray/black in about an hour. Even after being washed with soap & water. Okay...so what is it doing to our skin? Also, there are white flecks/granules in the liquid when you shake it. What is THAT from? You dont want that on your face.

Originally written on Sliding Into Home | Last updated 11/20/12
From Jayson Stark:If free-agent right-hander Hiroki Kuroda pitches in the United States next season, it apparently will be for the New York Yankees. The Yankees are now "very confident" they're going to sign the 37-year-old Kuroda, and believe he will either pitch for them or return to Japan, say agents and clubs that have spoken with them. Meanwhile, other teams that have been reported as having interest in Kuroda -- particularly the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels -- appear to have shifted their focus elsewhere. ... It's still possible, however, that Kuroda could return to Japan. He has said several times he wants to finish his career there, but hasn't said when.Hopefully this is not just an empty rumor because it's is great news. They need Kuroda if they're going to compete with the rapidly improving AL East.

The Rose Bowl and the entertainment industry latched onto each other early on. Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., the biggest stars of fledgling Hollywood, adopted the Harvard team that played in the 1920 Rose Bowl and sat on the bench during the game.
Alabama halfback Johnny Mack Brown became a cinematic cowboy because he took a screen test while at the Rose Bowl. The Tournament of Roses turned to Hollywood figures to serve as grand marshal of the Rose Parade, including 8-year-old Shirley Temple, the box office queen of the 1930s.
A biographer of legendary Tennessee coach Gen. Robert Neyland listed the movie stars sprinkled among the Volunteers fans at the 1940 Rose Bowl: Bing Crosby, Deanna Durbin, Clark Gable and his wife, Carole Lombard, Jack Benny, and on and on.
"We scarcely got to see the game," said Emily Faust, wife of Tennessee assistant coach Hugh Faust, "with all the fans coming to ask the stars for autographs."
Natalie Wood starred in a movie called "The Rose Bowl." Jerry Seinfield, in his animated "Bee Movie," saved the flowers of the world by taking all of the flora at the Rose Parade to pollinate them.
"George Lucas, who doesn't do public events," Flinn said, referring to the creator of Star Wars, "he'll come to be grand marshal of the Rose Parade, as Gregory Peck did, because his parents brought him to the parade and the game when he was a little boy."
In his 1974 autobiography, Alabama coach Bear Bryant recounted the excitement of his week as a player at the 1935 Rose Bowl:
"I remember there were movie stars all over the place. … A couple guys had cameras, and posed me with this good-looking, big-bosomed blond in a tight sweater. The blond was very attentive. She said her name was Lana Turner and she was just getting started in pictures. A starlet. She asked me what my plans were, but about the only place I could have taken her was to church because I was broke again."
Turner went on to become a major movie star. An aside from the 60-year-old coach revealed the 21-year-old within: "I still have that picture."
And then, Bryant explained what the Rose Bowl meant to him.
"It had all seemed like a dream come true to me -- the thrill of being invited, of going, of getting to play in front of all those people -- an ordinary football player among great players. All those things are rich in my memory."
No matter what age, the men who played in the Rose Bowl talk about it with a verve that makes them young again.
Seventy-five years after Washington lost the 1926 Rose Bowl, Huskies lineman Herman Brix, 94, came to see the Huskies practice for the 2001 game and told them he thought about the loss every day.
Six decades after he played in the 1943 Rose Bowl, Hall of Fame halfback Charley Trippi of Georgia told author Tony Barnhart, "I played in three bowl games, four college all-star games, and a pair of NFL championship games. But nothing has ever compared to playing in the Rose Bowl."
The same goes for coaches. Arkansas offensive coordinator Jim Chaney has been a college and pro football coach for nearly 30 years. He has coached in one Rose Bowl, with Purdue in 2001.

The aim of this paper is to establish a methodological foundation for human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers aiming to assess trust between people interacting via computer-mediated communication (CMC) technology. The most popular experimental paradigm currently employed by HCI researchers are social dilemma games based on the Prisoner's Dilemma (PD), a technique originating from economics. HCI researchers employing this experimental paradigm currently interpret the rate of cooperation-measured in the form of collective pay-off as the level of trust the technology allows its users to develop. We argue that this interpretation is problematic, since the game's synchronous nature models only very specific trust situations. Furthermore, experiments that are based on PD games cannot model the complexity of how trust is formed in the real world, since they neglect factors such as ability and benevolence. In conclusion, we recommend (a) means of improving social dilemma experiments by using asynchronous Trust Games, (b) collecting a broader range of data (in particular qualitative) and (c) increased use of longitudinal studies.

Parking for Persons with Disabilities
Connecticut state law (Sec. 14-253a) restricts parking in designated Handicapped parking spaces to those vehicles displaying authorization issued by this or any other state or country. The use of this privilege is only legal when the person with the disability is the driver or a passenger in the vehicle. Any misuse of this privilege will result in ticketing and the vehicle may be towed at the owner's expense. These vehicles must also display a UNH parking permit if the owner/operator is a student or employee of the University.
Snow Emergencies
No non-resident parking will be permitted from 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. during snow emergency conditions (during a storm or when one is predicted). Resident students must expect to be available to move their vehicles as directed. Vehicles impeding snow removal operations may be towed from campus at the owner's expense.
Speed Limit 15 mph
Parking enforcement is strictly controlled by a computerized system that tracks permits, license plate numbers, vehicles and violations. Hand held computers will record violations, will notify an officer that a vehicle must be issued a tow warning when the number of violations reaches three, and will direct an officer to tow the vehicle from campus when it accumulates four tickets. Once a vehicle has accumulated three (3) tickets it will be ticketed and towed on every subsequent violation.
Students, faculty and staff who have properly registered their vehicle(s) with the UNH Police Department will receive an automatically generated email advising of a parking ticket, tow warning or the towing of a vehicle. If a vehicle owner can not be identified through the UNH Parking Control Program he/she will not receive this email notification.
The UNH Police Department strives to reduce the number of vehicles that need to be towed by requesting voluntary compliance with these parking regulations. The ticketing and towing of a vehicle, along with possible storage charges from the tow company will cost the vehicle owner approx. $125.00 (on average, but may vary). No part of this towing charge is controlled or received by the University of New Haven.
After a vehicle has received 3 parking tickets it will be ticketed and towed from campus, at the owner's expense, for every subsequent violation within the same academic year.
Vehicles that are blocking fire lanes, crosswalks, sidewalks, dumpster access, or are parked in a manner that creates a hazard, or are parked in a Handicapped space without displaying proper authorization, will be immediately towed from campus without regard to any prior violations.
For the safety of the entire community, everyone is expected to stop for campus stop signs, observe the 15 mph speed limit, use their seat belts and avoid the use of cell phones while operating a vehicle. UNH tickets or State Infractions Complaints may be issued for moving violations and may become the subject of disciplinary hearings.
By applying for a UNH parking permit you are agreeing to abide by all rules and regulations pertaining to the operation and parking of any motor vehicle under your control.
Obtaining a permit by impersonating another, misrepresenting oneself, theft, fraud or in any other illegal or improper manner will result in a $250 fine, disciplinary proceedings, loss of parking privileges and possible arrest.
Payment of Fines
Faculty, staff and students may pay fines in person at the Bursar's Office or by mail to the address on the reverse of the ticket.
Appeal Process
Tickets may be appealed within 14 calendar days of issue. Go to www.newhaven.edu/parking for a link to the online appeal form.
The University of New Haven is not responsible for damage to, theft of, or theft from, vehicles on university-controlled property.
Call the UNH Police Department at (203) 932-7014.

AT THE end of a century when the mysteries of life have fallen one after another to the advance of molecular biology, it is reassuring to find that we still have one big puzzle for the next century's scientists to get their teeth into. Even more delightful, it's a puzzle that can be expressed in just four words: "Why do we sleep?"
Nobody knows the answer, despite fifty years of intensive research. Everyone knows, of course, that we fall asleep because we are tired and somehow sleep restores our sense of wellbeing. But what exactly does sleep revive and why? And why can't we do without it?
A popular view is that we sort out the day's experiences and reinforce memories during sleep, perhaps through a subtle transfer of information between different parts of the brain (see p 26). But the trouble with such theories is that they are ...

Gadget Review: Samsung Galaxy S 111 A Solid, Sexy Swipe at the iPhone and Blackberry
This Samsung Galaxy 111 is an initial and massive missive into the Blackberry World that is Jamaica and the Caribbean. The Samsung Galaxy 11 was a whisper, the 111 now, is a jump, scream and shout of a product and here's why. I got the phone at the Samsung launch in Kingston with its local partner Digicel. It was just before I left for London vacation, so it was a great time of summer with the Olympics and all, to give this phone a good workout. So my review reflects how I used it, what I loved most and what I discovered by accident as well. Hence the Sexy, the Screen, the Camera, The ScreenShot, the MicroSim experience mini headings.
The Sexy
At first look the phone seems big, because the huge screen. That big screen is perfect for photo and HD video playback, reading articles and documents on the go and not to mention fantastic for gamers. But let me start with that first catches your eye with this Phone, it's sexy. This casing I have is the glossy marble white, but it's when you switch to the Apps screen and those icons pop out at you in vibrant technicolour that you smile.
WANTED: The Caribbean, by Blackberry, iPhone and Samsung Galaxy…who will win ?
Blackberry is spending more time and energy securing their lion share of the smartphone market in Jamaica and the Caribbean. 70% is the stat that I was told. LIME is about to launch the iPhone 4S, we were invited to the exclusive unveiling this Friday so we'll tell you if Siri can speak patois and of course Samsung is making a push in the Caribbean with their Google Android OS phones – the Galaxy S II.
So that's three distinct mobile platforms and smartphone brands making a push for market share here. Clearly the Caribbean is a sweetspot to own.
Who do you think will win the hearts and mind share of the Caribbean people in the end? Who will we crown king?

Blackberry celebrates 70 Million BlackBerry subscribers globally…but
Research In Motion (RIM) now has 70 million global BlackBerry subscribers and they celebrated that fact with a video that highlighted some of our customers' successes, including how individuals, businesses, governments, start-ups and charities are all using BlackBerry to work for good in their lives and in their communities around the world.
Recently, RIM has been getting a trouncing in the market from Apple's iPhone and also Samsung Galaxy Phones. Then just this week,Amazon introduced their new Kindle Fire an ereader and tablet all in one, which Techcrunch declared as the winner in the Android Tablet market. RIM's own Playbook had not shipped as many units as thought and in response to the new Kindle price, RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook went on sale yesterday at Best Buy. The 16GB model dropped to $299 from $499. So it's been a rough year for RIM, the question is, can they innovate themselves out of this ? We know in this tech world, market leaders are toppled and laggards can retain their number one slots. Let's see what gives over the next 3-6months.

Oh, about PP2012 throwing hissy fits, it turns out that it was having 'multi threaded bending' turned on that was causing problems. You'll find it in your general preferences, it it is on when you find it, turn it off.
...good tip, thanks. Won't be able to do anything with DSON until the new system is up as that is where 2012 is going to be installed.
However 4.5 seems to be behaving much better on the old 'book than I expected (was able to fix the Directory mapping issues, for some odd reason all my Genesis content was installing to a desktop folder and appending the correct path to it - weird).
So beginning to have a bit more fun again. Here's Leela's elfin friend Tracey which is my first successful use of GenerationX to transfer all the Steph4 morphs). My misgivings about Genesis are rapidly fading as the clothing I used is from the 3DU Toon characters Jasmin and Amy. Never could do that before without a healthy dose of XD or WW
...also had a bit of fun with the Fabricator. With all the freebie textures available I'm beginning to wonder if I really need to buy pre-made texture sets for clothing anymore. Definitely a worthwhile investment.

Acer unveiled the Iconia B1 tablet a few weeks ago at CES and said it'll go on sale "soon," which usually means anything but that, but the 7-incher is in fact up for grabs already. Well, it's only available in the UK for now, but you know what they say – today in England, tomorrow all around the world. As expected, the tab's number one selling point is the pricing. Tech-savvy blokes in GB looking to save up a buck before Valentine's are therefore only asked to shell out £99 ($156). That'll get you a surprisingly snappy slate with...

My favorite wine source
By Jessica Yadegaran
Friday, November 16th, 2007 at 11:27 am in Uncategorized.
Lately, I've gotten a lot of questions about where I buy wine. Well, everywhere. I'm a big proponent of local merchants and depending on what I need, I go see one of my peeps.
Iberian wines? Kevin at The Spanish Table in Berkeley. Fun bottles under $20? Rod at Wine Thieves in Lafayette or Peter at Vintage Berkeley in North Berkeley. Italian? John at Prima in Walnut Creek.
But where I truly spoil myself is with Garagiste. Based out of Seattle, it's a wine retail emporium dedicated to limited production, rare and hard-to-find wines. In fact, Garagiste is the only retailer in the United States to be a Wine Enthusiast National Retailer of the Year finalist in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The daily e-blasts from Niki have become highlights of my week. Her new discoveries read like poems. I've scored Australia's most highly-rated Shiraz and rare wines from Corsica.
Every once in a while, they offer artisan foods as well. I'm currently awaiting fresh, recently jarred pasta sauce from Tuscany, and almonds from Sicily, which are grown in 300,000 year old, volcanic rich soil.
I'm anxiously awaiting what I've been promised is a flavor profile that, much like wine, has a beginning, middle and end. Check out Garagiste. But don't blame me if you get addicted.

Do your files have the "<form" and the "reset>" on different lines? If
so, I think you need to add the 's' modifier to your regexp. I.e.,
> $data =~ s|<form.*reset>|<!-- form action removed -->|g;
$data =~ s|<form.*reset>|<!-- form action removed -->|gs;
The 's' modifier treats the entire string as a single line, which allows
'.' to match newline characters.
One other minor thing I noticed in your script is that I think the line
> opendir(DIR, $curdir) or die "Cannot open directory $curdir: $!";
should actually be
opendir(DIR, ".") or die "Cannot open directory $curdir: $!";
since you've already done a "chdir" to switch into that directory.
Hope this helps.

Uyo — The cost of ALSCON's assets and its ownership has attracted the most attention. Weekly Trust examines the issues that have raised so many questions.
There have been growing concerns and controversies over the actual market price and ownership of the Aluminium Company of Nigeria (ALSCON), since July, last year when the Supreme Court of Nigeria stripped UC Rusal,a Russian firm of its ownership of the Aluminium plant following a suit filed by BFIG Corporation against the Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE).
These controversies centered around the sudden reduction of the assets value of the plant from N130 billion in 2006 to N30 billion as indicated by the report of an independent auditor which carried out an assessment of the plant prior to its privatization.
The reduction has generated a lot of controversies and bad press among the different stakeholders, leading to buck passing and suspicion as far as the auction deal was concerned.
The company's director in-charge of public and governmental affairs, Mr. Albert Dyabin, told Weekly Trust that the net asset of the plant before privatization was N130billion equivalent to $0.9bn as indicated in the report of the independent assessment.
However, in January, 2006 when the push for privatisation became hotter, an independent auditor, Deloite, was commissioned to carry out an assessment of the plant, the outcome of which put the market value of the plant at N30.9 billion equivalent to $240.4million. This, it was gathered, was prior to the company's second take-off in 2007.
"In 2006, the cost of the net assets of the plants was N130bn ($0.9bn). Due to the fact that in 2006 privatization was in progress, it was necessary to identify the exact cost of the plant's assets. For that purpose an independent auditor Deloite carried out an assessment of the plant. Based on the outcome of that assessment as at January 1st 2007 the actual value of ALSCON was N30.9 bn ($240.4 bn)" he said.
The argument in some quarters that the reduction in the assets of the plant, including equipment, machines, building and facilities was carried by the Russian firm when it effectively took over control of the plant is therefore not tenable as it was carried out by the independent auditor.
Dyabin said UC Rusal has invested heavily to revive the moribund factory since it took over the plant in February, 2007. These huge investments, according to him, can only be appreciated and understood by viewing the history of the plant before and after the privatization.
Sources said the construction of the plant started in 1990, but when it started production in October, 1997, it could only operate at 20 per cent capacity, since it was only 75 percent structurally completed.
Our sources revealed, however, that due to technical difficulties, it could not sustain production and had to be shut down operation in June 1999. Consequently, over 60 per cent of the staff, it was gathered, were sent on compulsory leave and eventually laid off.
Several efforts to re-start the plant by the Federal Government were made with the help of technical partners arrangement or tolling arrangements as it were, with some international companies such as the ALCOA, in the United States of America, ALCAN, a Canadian company and of course, Glencore.
These efforts, however, did not yield the desired result because of the conditions given by these companies, and the then prevailing insecurity in the Niger Delta Region, where the plant is cited.
However, when the push for privatization gathered momentum, United Company, Rusal, a world leader in aluminium production purchased ALSCON as the second bidder who proposed the second bid price among qualified bidders, owning over 85 per cent stakes in the steel plant.
In February, 2007 when it effectively took over, the plant was non-functional for eight years. Modernization of the plant led to overhaul of the pots, commissioning of five cranes for operations, commissioning of carbon plants as well as injection and repairs of casting lines and fumes treatment plants.
This has enabled the company to meet the yearnings and demands of the Nigerian companies in primary aluminium production and for export.
The question of who is the lawful owner of the ALSCON has often arisen. This question became more compelling now than before since the Supreme Court judgement in July, last year.
Dyabin told Weeky Trust that by a copy of the Supreme Court judgement BFIG Corporation is to remit $410 million to the Bureau for Public Enterprise (BPE) for ALSCON.
Such payments, according to the director, must be paid as follows: ten per cent of the bid price, that is, $41million must be paid within 15 working days from the day of signing the Shared Purchased Agreement (SPA) between the BFIG Corporation and BPE, while the remaining 90 per cent must be paid by the American-Nigerian consortium within 90 days from the day of the first payment.
He, however, said the date of the SPA between BFIG and BPE is not signed and the company is yet to remit the 10 per cent as stated in the Supreme Court judgement and it is yet to pay the entire amount of $41million as demanded by the apex court.
Though representatives of the BFIG Corporation are yet to be reached to substantiate the claims, UC Rusal has maintained it legitimate ownership of the country's premier steel plant at Ikot Abasi in Akwa Ibom State.

I would like to see a "select all" button so I can delete everything in my inbox, sent box instead of having to sometimes manually click on upwards close to 100 emails. It's a pain in the rear!
Daily Tip: How to mark multiple emails as read in iOS 5
Have a ton of unreal messages and wondering how to just declare email bankruptcy and mark them all as read? iOS 5 still doesn't give you that magical "mark all" button but it does let you mark multiple messages as read in the Mail app, which can help save a lot of time when you're crunching through emails on-the-go.
- Launch the Mail app
- In the Mail app, tap Edit in the upper-right hand corner.
- A bullet list will appear on the left allowing you to select emails individually.
- Tap each email you would like to mark as read
- Tap Mark in the lower-right hand corner.
- Tap 'Mark as Read' from the menu list.
Now, all of the emails you selected will be marked as read and, if you're using iCloud, Exchange, or IMAP, will reflect as such across all email clients you have connected to your email service. It's as simple as that!

Can NH patients get medical marijuana in other states? Not really
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Sun, July, 21st 2013 by THCFinder
While New Hampshire patients wait for marijuana dispensaries to be established in this state, a process that may take years, it's easy to wonder whether they could just drive over the border and get their doctor's order filled at dispensaries already up and running in neighboring states.
The answer? Not really.
The only possibility is Maine, whose medical marijuana law includes a "reciprocity clause" that allows out-of-state residents to get marijuana.
However, this is allowed only if you have a medical certificate from a physician or osteopath certified to practice in Maine. It's not enough to have a certificate from your own doctor in New Hampshire; you'd have to establish a relationship with a Maine doctor, which at a minimum would include office visits.
That clause was designed "to allow people who summer in Maine, or college students, to get (marijuana)," said Marietta D'Agostino, director of the Maine Medical Use of Marijuana Program. "We're certainly not looking to have people drive up for the day to get it."
Heading west instead of east won't help: While Vermont's medical marijuana law allows certificates from New Hampshire doctors, it is limited to Vermont residents only.
Massachusetts may have dispensaries operating by next year, but it is also limited to state residents.

Beverly Hills"marijuana moms" gather for high class dinner party
Category: Culture | Posted on Sat, July, 20th 2013 by THCFinder
The women vaporize the marijuana, which they say gives them the benefits without the smoke.
Parenting and pot may seem like a taboo combination, but a group of Beverly Hills moms swear it is the secret to their success.
The Beverly Hills Cannabis Club recently gathered at the home of founder Cheryl Shuman, the self-proclaimed "Martha Stewart of Marijuana," for a non-traditional "pot luck" dinner.
Cheryl Shuman, far right, said used cannabis therapy after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer..
The menu included chicken and fettuccine topped with marinara sauce made with cannabis-infused olive oil, as well as garlic bread with cannabis-infused butter.
Many of the women who congregated at Shuman's said they used medical marijuana to help them battle chronic pain, cancer and anxiety. They said their goal isn't to get completely stoned, but rather to take the edge off.
The women told ABC News that they believe marijuana has made them better mothers.
"Cannabis not only made me a better mom. Cannabis made me a better human being," Shuman told ABC News' Elizabeth Vargas.
The 53-year-old said that 10 years ago she was desperate for an escape as her marriage fell apart. Taking Prozac in the morning and Xanax at night wasn't doing the job, so her therapist suggested she "smoke a joint."
The women dined on cannabis-infused cuisine.
"So I took a hit off of it I was smiling and happy and I was like, 'this is really great,'" she said in an interview with ABC News.
Shuman claimed she felt better after the puffs than she did from taking the pharmaceuticals. And her daughter said she certainly saw a difference.
"I felt like my mom was checked out on prescription pills. It was like living with a zombie. When she would smoke she was smiling. She was connecting with us. It felt like we had our mom back," her daughter, Aimee, said.

Academia and industry are working to help equip the new generation of clinicians, scientists and academics. The NIH's Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) programme is funding translational centres such as the Weill Cornell Medical College Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) in New York. The CTSC offers researchers practical advice, support and access to research funding.
"The CTSA programme can help by investing in relevant infrastructure but also in training interdisciplinary scientists relevant to translational medicine and therapeutics," says FitzGerald.
Further training schemes are offered by the American Society of Hematology and the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy in Baltimore, among others.
The industry has made some significant changes, but there are likely to be even more opportunities in the future as pharma researchers, academics and physicians work more closely together.
"These industry changes would encourage collaborations between big pharma, academia, and small biotechs," says Rudy Juliano, a pharmacologist at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill. "They would share information on early-stage studies, perhaps even through to human proof of concept."
For such collaboration to work, both parties need to establish who owns the rights to information and patents. But a pharma sector that features collaboration as a matter of course could speed up research and provide more opportunities for researchers to work in cross-disciplinary teams, both in industry and academia.
A rare opportunity
Who wants to find drugs for rare diseases? The perceived low rate of financial return has left so-called "orphan drug" development in the dark. But orphan drug research is undergoing a popularity boost, as companies seek to cheaply repurpose existing drugs for new diseases.
More than 7,000 rare disorders affect about 300 million people around the world. Such diseases generally have no existing treatment options, virtually guaranteeing the company a market. The risk of failure is reduced, because the drugs are already recognised as safe. This is crucial when working in an area that has a small market and narrow profit margins.
"The regulatory framework means that there are incentives for development, and a faster development path," says Suzanne Bruhn, president and CEO at Promedior, a biotech firm in Lexington, Massachusetts. "It means that even though the market is small it's possible to make it into a business."
In the 2012 financial year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted 184 orphan drug designations. Such designations provide firms with financial incentives to develop the medicines, including reduced federal taxes. The FDA is further supporting the area by creating a database of drugs for repurposing, focusing on rare diseases. The Rare Disease Repurposing Database includes compounds that have already received orphan status for a rare disease and have market approval for another indication.
Universities and non-profits are also looking at repurposing orphan drugs. The Center for World Health & Medicine at Saint Louis University in Missouri is working to gain access to pharma companies' drugs to test them in preclinical models for neglected diseases.
Bruhn has worked with orphan drugs and diseases for many years and was responsible for moving Promedior towards its current spotlight on orphan diseases.
"Orphan products make a difference in value that is more than just a financial one, especially for patients that currently have no treatments," she says. "It's somewhere we can do a lot of good."

Over at The New York Times, Nicole Hemmer has a nice piece explaining some of the history of the right's "liberal media bias" charge and how it has left them incapable of seeing anything that happens in the media—even their own media—clearly. It turns out that supporters of Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum (not to mention Gingrich and Santorum themselves) were shocked to find that their favorite news sources didn't validate everything they believed, including who should win the Republican primary: "this role reversal is the end product of a process that was set in motion by the conservative media. Having spent decades promoting the charge of bias, they have helped strip it of meaning. These days, bias translates roughly to 'reporting something I don't like,' a reflexive defense against stories that cut against conservative interests." Conservatives got so used to seeing bias everywhere that it reached the point where some of them began accusing Fox News of being "liberal" because it wasn't boosting their preferred primary candidate.
That doesn't necessarily mean Fox wasn't biased in Mitt Romney's favor. It well may have been. But conservatives have been so conditioned that not only do they see bias everywhere, as far as they're concerned all bias is, by definition, liberal bias.
But they don't have to worry. Now that the GOP has chosen a nominee, Fox and every other conservative outlet can go back to slamming only Democrats, and there won't be another internecine battle for another four years, or maybe even eight years if Romney wins in November.
Sat, 2012-04-21 15:50
Fox News pundits kept on wanting other candidates to jump into the pool and seemed to be part of the anyone but Romney crowd. After he took a lead in the delegate count, Fox News seemed to go to his side much quicker to end the race as they want to get Obama out of office.
The other candidates wanted the race to keep going, but Romney had much more money and carpet bombed states like Illinois and Wisconsin which all but sealed the deal.
Fox News didn't want to seem like they were jumping on the Romney campaign as the others were steadily sinking so the did so earlier. They all knew the writing was on the wall much earlier.

Kellie Pickler spends Christmas with troops in AfghanistanAdd to Favorites | American Idol
Kellie Pickler spent her holiday doing good for the American troops. The "American Idol" alum and her husband Kyle Jacobs headed to Afghanistan for Christmas for her seventh USO tour as part of the Every Moment Counts campaign.
"There's no place I'd rather spend Christmas," she tells the troops, as reported by The Washington Post.
While in Kandahar Airfield, Pickler filed a howitzer and flew in Black Hawks and Chinooks. Her presence reportedly helped bolster the spirits of those on the base, and many quickly took to her charm. Pictures with the country star were taken left and right and posted to social media.
"The USO tours and programs I've been part of have definitely been the highlight of my career," 27-year-old Pickler says in a statement. "So I'm honored to join the USO in helping to raise awareness about the many precious moments that our troops and their families sacrifice due to their commitment and service to our country."

With only approximately 2 out of 10 individuals with Ph.D.'s employed in their field of study, higher education institutions are not awarding tenure simply because they don't have to (1). Regardless of how you feel about tenure, one thing is sure: consistent with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's push for "Performance Pay", academics will be more rigorously evaluated based on their performance. (2)
Traditionally, performance evaluations consisted primarily of a consideration of credentials, number of refereed publications, and a rudimentary estimate of the impact those publications have had. (3) Credentials, publications, and citations can take years to accrue; do they truly reflect the quality of work being done?
Considerations of other factors of performance are quickly catching on. Aside from teaching evaluations "altmetrics" are the most notable of these.(4)
What are Altmetrics?
It may take a lifetime to be important but it certainly doesn't take long to do important work. Altmetrics is a new effort to evaluate the social importance of academic work. Stephen Curry puts it clearly by stating that altmetrics is a measure of what is "exchanged during coffee breaks at academic conferences." (5)
Technology has taken much of the social buzz from the conference and put it online. Altmetrics captures this buzz from many sources including: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Mendeley, CiteULike, Wikipedia, and many others.
The politics of our education budget may appear to victimize educators. Sec. Duncan and the White House are adamant that Federal dollars will not be put to waste on those who fail to perform; consequently, university and institution administrators are now taking a serious look at altmetrics as a hiring and firing tool.
How do I keep Altmetrics from hurting me?
If you play your cards right, altmetrics can be a huge tool in getting noticed and getting or keeping an academic job. There are several new services that help you keep track of your altmetrics and a few new platforms which actually provide you with tools to improve them. (6)(7)
In order to improve altmetrics an academic must be her or his own publicist online, engage in social media, and design research works to be engaging. It is not necessary for ecologists to be as popular as particle physicists, but it may be important for ecologists to inspire more community interaction that other ecologists.
Altmetrics is only the latest in a long and steady movement toward empowering researchers to take care of their own public relations. Many flinch at the thought of a scientist popularizing their work for their own sake, but think of what might have been if Mendel or Copernicus had the web tools we have today.
