C/C++/Perl programmer, Linux/network admin.
Russia - Tests: 14
Over the last 10 years, I'm network administrator, architect and CIO in various hosting and ISP companies. Due this I have relatively good skills in Linux/BSD, virtualization, routing and shell/perl-scripting. My current targets are: -- programming in C, C++ and Perl -- building and managing networks -- building and managing virtual environments My previous professional bio can be divided into 4 independent parts: -- from 1990 to 1996 -- system programming for PCDOS (Assembler, C) -- from 1996 to 1999 -- HPC programming and teaching for MPI, PVM, HP/Convex and Parsytec -- from 1997 to 1998 -- programming for DSP controllers -- from 1999 to 2003 -- programming, administration and teaching for Lotus Notes and Domino. I prefer opensource whenever it's possible, but without zealotry. I think that the best opensource platform is Linux, but without zealotry too. In my opinion, the best Linux distro is Ubuntu LTS, but without any religious zealotry again.

Gone are the days of a burned employer writing off an employee who decides to leave for a different company. So-called boomerang employees - workers who return to a former employer - are on the rise.
With the election just around the corner, consider these serious questions.
A recent study confirms what many job seekers have long suspected: You are wasting your time writing that cover letter. Hiring managers now use other methods to get a feel for applicants without leaving their desks. That makes the four-paragraph missive about passions and key skills superfluous at best, and a liability at worst.

Pyrex cookware has been with us for 100 years, after Corning Glass Works inadvertently found that the heatresistant glass used for rugged railroad lanterns also made a lovely sponge cake. The brilliant but oft-overlooked Corning Museum of Glass in upstate New York is marking the centennial with an exhibition that pulls from the museum's 2,000-piece collection of Pyrex, from the first pie dish to the ubiquitous measuring cup, rounded out with decades of advertisements, design drawings, cookbooks and catalogues. The CMOG also houses a beautiful 2,500-year-old blue amphora and stunning contemporary art pieces.

Ashley Madison founder Noel Biderman has stepped down as chief executive of Toronto-based parent company Avid Life Media Inc. in the wake of a massive data breach.
Re: Science should drive GMO debate (SP, Aug 21). I agree with Murray Mandryk that the issue of GMO safety should be based on science, but disagree that anyone who questions the safety of GM foods is "irrational."

In the country of vodka and Solidarity, a recent advertisement joining the two has provoked outrage.

Sierra Pacific Power Reviews
- Any Location
- Any Job Title
- Any Status
Employee ReviewsSort: Popular Rating Date
A true 8 to 5 job. I was never required to stay late and the pace was perfect. I could leave every day at 5pm and not worry about work for the entire evening. Benefits were good. Just what you would expect from a quasi-government job. No one was too motivated or expected too much of me.
Nothing really ever gets done. People feel they are owed the job and don't need to put any effort in. Typical bureaucracy.
Advice to Management
None. It's a big power company. Inefficient and employing lazy union people that no one can replace. But it's a steady job without expectations.
- Approves of CEO
Very good pay and laid back environment.
Political issues have a large role in the company
Advice to Management
The need to recognize the hard effort their employees put into their work
Helpful (1)No opinion of CEO
Good people, good benefits, flexible schedule. For the most part, Sierra Pacific is a very good employer. I enjoy working with most of my colleagues, of course there are always those few who are very difiicult to work with though. The benefits when I first started were excellent....top notch. However, with recent changes, the benefits are about average for an employer this size. My work schedule is pretty flexible. I can choose from either a standard, 5 day/eight hour work week, four tens, or a "compressed" schedule of nine nines (eight nine hour days and one eight hour day with every other Friday off). Also, my supervisor allows me to take time off when needed with little to no notice, so long as the work is being completed.
Poor system for promoting employees and/or getting raises. Very poor communication from upper management. Goals that appear to conflict with one another, or are poorly communicated. Employee reviews are worthless. A popular saying regarding reviews: "The difference between a mediocre employee and one who is top notch is 1%." The benefits used to be much better, esp. the retirement package. The new package doesn't even come close to comparing with the old package. While I understand the reasons for upper management making the switch, the roll-out of the new package was very poor. Also, the new package should have been more comparable to the old, at least for present employees (esp. those with higher tenure).
Advice to Management
First, learn how to communicate better. The introduction of the new retirement package was very poor and seemed to be sneaky and underhanded. Many employees lost respect, trust and faith in upper management because of this. Next is to change the employee review system. The current system does not distinguish between those who perform and those that merely keep a seat warm.
"The company does not appreciate their loyal employees. "
Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEO
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
They have the industry monopolized in the state they are serving.
Higher management are only interested in keeping their salaries and positions.

Are you knowledgable about the Stock Assault 2.0? With the aid of a stock assault review, you will comprehend the software's advantage and drawbacks. As you can see, investing on stock market is just not joke and should you not read a review first, you aren't able to study the situation.
It additionally be risky to speculate in stocks and shares if you're doing not exactly what you are going to do. Many people have heard the stories of getting rich through before merger talks begin Gregg Hymowitz discusses futures. In turn, gonna that certainly is easy and dump every one of their money into these investments. Unfortunately, doing this ignores the most fundamental principles of stockmarket investing and is realizing that there are risks that's involved. The main rule to remember is that you should commence with small investments before you earn a lot of trading practical knowledge.
Perhaps, a few additional never do know. On the other hand, when prices in a supermarket go up, people shy away from you. Again, in the stock market, when prices go up, people purchase which mustn't be the the situation.
Perfect also watch your savings grow larger than you ever imagined. Produce have to is begin today saving at least 10% of the income, invest those savings in conservative investments, and maximize your retirement investing. Managing your spending and staying coming from debt are vital, too.
This can all happen if a person careful and jump in blindly without having done any your assignment. The keys to success are performing your research and taking period to "learn before you attempt to earn" anything. Live by this phrase and shortly be surprised at how successful you can be in what you may do. We will discuss some in order to consider obtaining involved globe stock market place place.
Here's a example.do any list mentally of everything you spend money on in a year. You know, rent or mortgage, utilities, insurance payments, food, clothes, gym memberships, car payments, purchasing to head to the movies and out to dinner.think of the things you pay for.
Stocks furthermore have a seasonal nature to both of them. September and October have consistently been two of the worst months on record for stocks: a lot of the biggest crashes in history have happened during these two months. How the market reacts during the following two or three months will be critical. When the Dow Jones Industrial Average doesn't go much below 10,000 – that had been a very bullish sign. That experts claim the DJIA has already held above 10,000 for part – and quickly rallied if it dropped briefly below it in June and July 2010 – is also bullish. Once we don't see anything worse in the following two or three months then currently has already used in the markets over the summer, that will appropriate time to stock up on stocks again for the next leg up in the bull industry.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:Social Media Marketing 2012
Executive Summary
Social media marketing (SMM) has continued to gain importance among marketers in recent years, with many companies and brands using social networks to boost their reputation and connect with target audiences. While social media sites present a good base from which to drive brand development, concerns have been voiced by some businesses over the lack of measuring techniques and data analytics presented by social networks regarding paid-for advertisements placed on their sites. In May 2012, motor manufacturer GM revealed that it would be discontinuing its paid-for advertisements on Facebook, principally due to the lack of evidence presented by the social network to show how advertisements translated into revenue. It is likely, however, that social media measurement will become more sophisticated in the future, as social networks look to grow their businesses by attracting advertisers to their sites.Another emerging trend has been the development of mobile marketing platforms for social media sites, with both Facebook and Twitter developing new mobile platforms for potential advertisers. This has been driven by the growing popularity of smartphones within the UK, with a report undertaken by Google and Ipsos suggesting that smartphone ownership was near to reaching the 50% mark in January 2012. Other mobile devices, such as tablet computers — owned by approximately 11% of the UK population, according to figures published by Ofcom — have also continued to gain in popularity, thus presenting further opportunities to marketers to advertise on mobile platforms.Social enterprise solutions are also tipped to become more important in the future, reflected in the expansion of technology firms within this particular area; for example, Microsoft's acquisition of office social network Yammer in June 2012. This trend has been driven by the rising number of people now opting to work remotely, as well as the increasing popularity of conversing via social networks. Social enterprise networks are a development of customer relationship management (CRM) tools, initially used by out-of-house sales representatives to collate data on possible sales leads and appointments. Such services have been developed to incorporate usage by other in-house teams, such as marketing and advertising departments, as well as to boost conversations and collaborative projects in-house.Despite the increasing impetus now put on SMM by agencies, companies and brands alike, there is still much room for growth. The majority of marketing agencies depend on existing staff members to develop their own understanding of SMM, rather than employing a 'digital native' or out-of-house specialist social media firm. The lack of sophisticated social media measurement solutions for assessing the impact and potential revenue generation of a particular advertising campaign is likely to be the main reason behind this. However, figures from The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) suggest that investment in expanding social media activities within marketing agencies is likely to increase over the next few years, with 32% of agencies expecting to invest in social media training, while a quarter (25%) are currently pursuing the recruitment of a 'digital native' in 2012.Table of Contents

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in.

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

Grandma Ellie's Peaches and Cream Layer Cake
I've been feeling very nostalgic lately. I guess with all the family birthdays going on this month, it's kinda hard not to look back and wonder where did all the time go? Last week, my grandma turned 87 years old. Wow. 87. Really? For some reason, in my mind, she just stayed this 60 year old lady in a cool sports car.

Through A Glass Brightly: New Yorks holiday windows
New York, NY —NARR: In New York, Christmas is not a specific day on the liturgical calendar, but a playful, extravagant frame of mind that starts somewhere around Thanksgiving and fades, glimmering, into the New Year. A key feature of the season is the holiday window display-an annual ritual of fantasy and opulence that had humble 19th-century beginnings.
Sheryl Bellman is the author of Through the Shopping Glass: A Century of New York Christmas Windows [published by Rizzoli] which illustrates the evolution of this tradition in which commerce and sentiment meet.
SB VOX 1: When the stores really opened, in the late 1800s, windows were very simple, and Christmas windows weren?t really done. They started out very meager, you know, a few little small items in the window, some dolls, some toys, and maybe a potted plant.
NARR: But the new century brought increased prosperity and the growth of shopping as a past-time, along with technical advances like electric lighting and spacious arcade windows that made display into an art form. Lord & Taylor is credited with presenting the first Christmas windows in 1938, but historical information is surprisingly elusive:
VOX SB2: I really had to dig for information, because I think the stores themselves didn?t see the value in these windows, how wonderful they were, what they meant to the public.
NARR: The lustrous photographs Bellman eventually collected reveal magical worlds impervious to the passage of time with its cycles of depression, recovery, war and peace. Instead they preserved the ideal of late-Victorian prosperity, harmonious family life, and the eternal realms shaped by classic children?s literature, toys, theatre, and dance. There are stagings of Little Women, A Christmas Carol, and The Nutcracker, and lavish tableaus featuring giant plush toys, commedia dell? arte figures, dancing reindeer, elegant skaters, and tributes, in satin, pearls, feathers, or gold, to everything from the three kings to famous blondes.
SB VOX 3: I think that the windows always had an innocent feel to them. No matter what was happening in the country, in the world, Christmas was Christmas, and the windows were always fabulous.
NARR: These dazzling displays take almost as much effort to produce as a Broadway show. Spaeth Design has created mechanical installations for Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue for over 25 years. David Spaeth:
VOX DS 1: We consider our windows stage design on a miniature scale. We?ve got costume designers, we have wardrobe people we have prop people, we definitely have carpenters. The only thing that we have that they don?t have in the theatre is that our main characters all have motors inside them.
NARR: Mechanized displays, derived from European music boxes, were introduced in the 1970s, and made possible more elaborate creations, vivid storytelling-important when most stores have five or six windows to fill-and bolder scenarios.
DS VOX 3: As I was growing up I seem to remember a lot of Dickens-inspired windows, with little figures with tops hats. We have approached it from a much more architectural standpoint. I think that we sort of had the effect of reinventing what mechanical windows could do.
NARR: At Saks, visitors line up to watch-and hear-the story of a little girl who gives her coat to Santa Claus. The idea is derived from a collectible doll series called ?Little Souls.?
NARR: In the unreal world of the holiday window, merchandise plays only an anecdotal role, and is sometimes absent altogether.
VOX DS 4: Lord & Taylor this year challenged us to create something that would be totally fresh, lots of color, big motions, and not, holiday specific. They actually came up with the idea of doing a circus. We just had a riot of fun with the characters, people are juggling that actually look like the juggley pins.We had a lion--you know lions have rather big teeth, so we have got the strong man inside the lion?s mouth, holding it open, while a little monkey with some dental floss is in there doing some dental work on him.
NARR: Robert Rauschenberg, Maurice Sendak, and Andy Warhol are among the artists who?ve worked in holiday display, but the windows remained generally traditional, though more conceptual and stylized displays began to surface in the 1970s. At one store, however, the outrageous is tradition. Designer Simon Doonan:
SD VOX 1: I?m very lucky, I have one of the most wonderful jobs in the world. I get to design the windows at Barney?s New York. And at Barney?s we are considered to have the most intriguing and most wacky windows.
NARR: Doonan?s ?wacky? windows are sardonic, satirical, surrealistic homages, in both style and content, to the most visible and disposable aspects of popular culture:
SD VOX 2 : The Barney?s window tradition--It?s just a little more edgy than the other stores. Actually I feel that it?s a little more in synch with the media that most people are exposed to. In the late 80s, we gained a reputation for putting celebrity caricatures in the window. So Madonna was featured in our windows, Ivanna Trump. And we have a tradition of using materials in an almost Warholian kind of way--we make light fixtures out of Tic-Tac boxes and right now in the window we have a big curtain made out of plastic combs, which are Afro picks. Last year we had a giant Cleopatra head made entirely out of beer bottle tops.
NARR: This year?s windows are a scavenger?s-eye view of history:
SD VOX 3: Each window is dedicated to a different. decade. We go from the 40s through to the 1980s, and each window has an iconic look from that period.
NARR: An element of performance art has been added: 10 female students from the Fashion Institute of Technology portray each decade?s quintessential couple, and the public gets to vote on which is the best, with the winning students receiving $2000 in scholarship money.
SD VOX 4: People are enormously titillated by being able to look into what they perceive to be a living room, and see people living in it. The whole voyeuristic aspect of it is v. entertaining for people, and they seem to find it incredibly engaging.
NARR: Engaging people-drawing them into unique and ephemeral worlds, remains at the heart of the holiday window tradition.
1) (Simon Doonan) In NY it?s some magnanimous thing that stores do to give back something to the city, provide a bit of free entertainment 2) (David Spaeth) I think the world we create in the windows is not meant to reflect the world outside.3) (Sheryl Bellman) I think that New York is one of the last places that people can really feel Christmas.
INTERVIEW WITH WOMAN IN FRONT OF SAKS? WINDOWS. ?Why do I come? Because I haven?t been here for 20 years?so pretty, so perfect.?
NARR: Also on view: Macy?s Spaeth-designed tribute to Miracle on 34th Street, Bergdorf Goodman?s Fellini-esque ?holiday house tour? and a ?White Christmas? dreamscape filled with Jungian symbols, Tiffany?s gem-bearing mermaids and seahorses, and from newcomer Warner Brothers, the ubiquitous Harry Potter. Wishing you and your inner child happy holidays, this is Sarah Montague, for WNYC.

Non-Profits Without Honor
Senator Grassley tackles the trillion-dollar tax-exempt sector.
Dec 10, 2007, Vol. 13, No. 13 • By JOHN J. DILULIO JR.
The key nonprofit distinction is not religious or secular, large or small, national or local. It's who really serves disadvantaged members, nonmembers, or the public at large, how, and how much. It is time to consider revamping federal, state, and local laws governing nonprofit organizations so as to restrict full-fledged tax-exempt status to organizations that predictably and reliably produce significant nonmember benefits.
Ask not what nonprofit organizations do for their employees or members. Ask instead what they actually do for their local communities and for their country. Ask how much, all sanctimonious or self-serving rhetoric aside, they dedicate in money, manpower, building space, or other resources to producing these benefits. Some well-endowed private universities will come out looking great and deserving almost every break in the book; others will come out looking . . . well-endowed. Some grassroots ministries will prove to practice even better than they preach while others will scream Elmer Gantry, or worse. And so on.
Or simply ask what would happen if given nonprofit organizations disappeared tomorrow. Ask whether, in fact, organizations within the tax-exempt sector need all the subsidies and breaks they get in order to survive or thrive.
Tax-exempt for what and for whom?--those are the fundamental questions to begin asking in earnest, and they will rapidly take us well beyond concerns about the nonprofit sector's vulnerability to gross mismanagement, ethical lapses, dirty deeds, or felonious actions.
The next president, Democrat or Republican, should have a "philanthropy czar" in the West Wing whose only job is to report objectively on how the nation's massive nonprofit sector serves the public interest (or not), and to recommend legislative and other reforms to improve the sector's self-governance and call it to public account the way that government once called for-profit corporations to public account. I hereby nominate the steadfast Senator Grassley.
John J. DiIulio Jr., a contributing editor to THE WEEKLY STANDARD, is the author of Godly Republic: A Centrist Blueprint for America's Faith-Based Future.

Mike Lee's bogus conservative case for criminal justice reform
Senator Mike Lee takes to the pages of the Washington Examiner to make what he calls the conservative case for criminal justice reform. The criminal justice reform Sen.

An Instance of Warmist Corruption
We have often written about the fact that the world's governments pour billions of dollars annually into the global warming project, the object of which is to increase the powers of government. And yet governments, the main parties that stand to benefit from the warmists' campaign, pretend that their money is somehow innocent, while any private entity that supports climate research is suspect. Alarmist scientists have gone so far as »
Putin kicks Obama, who pretends not to feel a thing
President Obama responded to his latest humiliation at the hands of Vladimir Putin by stating that "Mr. Putin had to go into Syria not out of strength but out of weakness, because his client, Mr. Assad, was crumbling." This statement — pulled from the same notebook as the president's pathetic speech to the U.N. — is true, but it fails to paper over the failure of Obama's approach to Syria »
Penn State vs. The State Penn?
I used to joke that it costs as much to house an inmate in the California state prison system as it would to send the same person to Stanford, but that sending the inmate to Stanford (at least in the humanities) would be bad for the inmate.

After Seven Recovery Summers…
The last recession officially ended, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, in June 2009. By now, September 2015, we should be in the middle, or perhaps the later stages, of an economic boom, having enjoyed years of strong economic growth, job creation and rising private sector incomes. Instead, our economy has never exited the recovery stage, and we have just concluded the seventh "recovery summer" of the Obama »
Politicize this
Early Thursday evening, before the dead had been counted, before their bodies were cold, before the relevant facts were known, President Obama chose to make a characteristically obnoxious statement on the shootings at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon (video below, text here). Obama's remarks are deserving of the derision that John heaped on them in "Obama: Never let a mass shooting go to waste." Why would Obama speak before »
Bipartisan sentencing reform proposal would free gun-carrying felons
As John noted, President Obama barely waited for the blood to dry in Oregon before seizing on the mass shooting at a community college to call for "common sense gun safety laws." Ironically, at just about the same time a bipartisan group of Senators was introducing criminal sentencing reform legislation that would cause the release from jail of criminals who carried guns while committing drug felonies. As Bill Otis explains, »

She was viciously harassed by a variety of government agencies and environmental groups who evidently intended »
Obama and Guns: Then and Now
John has already noted Obama's demagoguery about guns yesterday, where Obama praised the Australian decision 10 years ago to confiscate all guns. (Question: how is that the proposal to deport 11 million illegal aliens is said to be impossible, but confiscation over 300 million guns isn't? I'm sure the drug gangs will be the first to comply with such a program.) Here's Obama in 2008: "I just want to be »

So when do the hearings on this momentous act begin? Never, it appears — unless the demand for them becomes irresistible. As I noted »

U.S.: PR Firm Refusing Offers To Work On Christie Campaign Due To Anti-Pot StanceSubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 06/30/2015 - 23:10
Hemp Public Relations on Tuesday announced that they are refusing all multi-million dollar offers to provide their expertise to Governor Chris Christie's presidential campaign. For good measure, Hemp Public Relations has issued a lifetime ban on Christie for all company events.
"Governor Christie has publicly said as president, he would "crack down" on states that have ended prohibitions on marijuana," said Ryan McCormick, cofounder of Hemp Public Relations. "We feel that anyone who would threaten to subvert the will of the people and claim that their own personal ideology trumps that of the people is an affront to the very foundation of America.
"For this reason, Hemp Public Relations will refuse to work or assist the Christie campaign in any capacity for any amount of money," McCormick said.
Hemp Public Relations helps individuals and businesses in the marijuana industry to achieve greater visibility in the public eye through the media. The company is founded by Mark Goldman and Ryan McCormick, public relations professionals who are the creators of New York based Goldman McCormick PR (www.goldmanmccormick.com) and Legal PR Team (www.legalprteam.com).
U.S.: Legalized Marijuana Would Be Eliminated Under A Christie PresidencySubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 06/09/2015 - 19:55

The rotund Republican, speaking on CBS' "Face The Nation," said his administration would use federal law outlawing marijuana to crack down on states that have legalized recreational cannabis use, reports Matt Arco of NJ Advance Media.
"Yes sir," Christie replied to host John Dickerson when asked if he'd go after Colorado and Washington for legalized marijuana.
"If you were President would you return the federal prosecutions in the states of Colorado, Washington state?" Dickerson asked. "Yes," Christie answered.
"So, if somebody's enjoying that now in their state, if you're President, that's getting turned off?" Dickerson pressed. "Correct," Christie responded.
The Obama Administration hasn't punished states which have legalized marijuana, nor has it forced them to roll back the initiatives that voters approved.
Christie, on the other hand, has been a vocal critic of cannabis legalization; ignoring science, he claims it's a "gateway drug."

U.S.: Gov. Chris Christie Promises To Crack Down On Marijuana If Elected PresidentSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 04/16/2015 - 19:17

Hemp News
If you want to see a massive marijuana crackdown in the United States, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is your guy.
Christie made an appearance on the Hugh Hewitt radio show on Tuesday and claimed he will "crack down" on states that have legalized marijuana if he becomes President in the future, reports Carimah Townes at ThinkProgress.
"Marijuana is a gateway drug," Christie claimed, ignoring scientific studies showing otherwise. "We have an enormous addiction problem in this country. And we need to send very clear leadership from the White House on down through the federal law enforcement.
"Marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law," Christie said. "And the states should not be permitted to sell it and profit from it."
Asked by Hewitt if he would enforce federal marijuana prohibition in Washington, Colorado and other states that legalize recreational cannabis, the Governor responded, "Absolutely. I will crack down and not permit it."
Christie's hardline stance might not prove very popular with voters. According to the latest results from Pew Research Center, 53 percent of Americans favor marijuana legalization.
New Jersey: Governor Refuses To Help Suffering Children With Medical MarijuanaSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 03/19/2015 - 19:45

Hemp News
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's cold-hearted refusal to allow sick children in his state safe access to medical marijuana was the subject of a blistering editorial inMonday's Star-Ledger.
"The issue of edible marijuana in New Jersey comes down to an irrefutable premise: The governor of this state has had numerous chances to liberate children from suffering over the last 18 months, yet he has chosen not to do it," wrote the Star-Ledger Editorial Board.
"Chris Christie seems content to live with this disgrace," the board wrote. "At one time, he summoned the audacity by looking into the faces of inconsolable parents and chirping the dim-bulb refrain, 'It's complicated,' and now he merely dismisses a law that he signed himself and hopes that nobody notices."
The op-ed unsparingly points out that two years after Vivian Wilson's parents were forced to move to Colorado for the sake of their toddler's health, there is still no workable edible marijuana program for New Jersey's needlessly suffering children -- "because Christie's administration doesn't prioritize compassion."
New Jersey: Parents Say Medical Marijuana Brought Back Their Daughter's Ability To SpeakSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 08/04/2014 - 19:02

A New Jersey family says that medical marijuana brought back their daughter's ability to speak.
According to parents Shawnea and Ernie Estrella, brain surgery and severe, repeated seizures took away their 22-year-old daughter Sara's speech for 17 years, reports New Jersey News 12. Sara has Lennox Gastaut Synedrome, or LGS, which results in severe seizures.
Over the past month, Shawnea and Ernie said medical marijuana brought back Sara's voice. She started on cannabis on June 27. Her seizures decreased drastically, going 48 hours seizure-free at a time.
"We decreased one of her medications, Depakote, by 750 milligrams a day," Shawnea said. "She is more alert and happy than she's been in a long time. Her appetite is increased and she is up to 95 pounds."
According to her parents, Sara hadn't spoken since her brain surgery at age 5, then for the first time in 17 years, used two words, "no" and "out." "I think she's working on a third: 'home,'" Shawnea said.
The Estrellas said they hope to someday get access to pills and oils, because even with Sara's medical marijuana recommendation, they have to concentrate marijuana into oil, a process which can take hours.
U.S.: Christie Says He Wouldn't Treat Marijuana States Well As PresidentSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 06/23/2014 - 17:58
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said on Friday that states which have legalized marijuana "probably" wouldn't be treated well if he is elected President.
The governor was campaigning with New Hampshire GOP gubernatorial candidate Walt Havenstein when he was asked by Brinck Slattery, a Republican running for state representative: "I know that you have some ambitions for D.C., perhaps. If you were President, how would you treat states that have legalized marijuana?"
"Probably not well," Christie responded, walking away from the conversation, reports Matt Ferner at The Huffington Post. "Not well, but we'll see. We'll have to see what happens." Christie's statement was captured in a video shot by Matt Simon, New England political director for the Marijuana Policy Project.
"It's one thing for Governor Christie to say he doesn't like what's happening in Colorado; quite another thing for him to threaten federal interference if he became President," Slattery said.
"Widely and generally speaking, that reflects his philosophy on marijuana, legalization and restrictions for medically based programs," said Michael Drewniak, Christie's press secretary, of the governor's comment.
Twenty-three states have legalized cannabis for medicinal purposes, with New York being the latest; Colorado and Washington have legalized recreational use as well. Alaska votes on legalization in August.
New Jersey: Gov. Christie Says Medical Marijuana 'A Front For Legalization'Submitted by steveelliott on Wed, 06/18/2014 - 18:21
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
If there was any doubt in anyone's mind about just how ignorant New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is when it comes to medicinal cannabis, the big guy has put those doubts to rest. Following reports that patient enrollment in the state's medical marijuana program is low (due largely to his own foot-dragging and ineffective implementation), Christie called the New Jersey program and others like it across the nation "a front for legalization."
The New Jersey Legislature passed the state's medical marijuana law back in 2009, and former Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, signed it just before he left office. The Christie Administration, since then, has been notably slow in implementing the program; the first dispensary didn't open until December 2012, reports Brent Johnson at The Star-Ledger.
Only 2,342 patients have signed up for New Jersey's medical marijuana program, after initial predictions had estimated tens of thousands of patients might be helped. Last week, the president and CEO of Compassionate Care Foundation, Inc., in Egg Harbor -- one of only three operational dispensaries in the state -- announced he is quitting because, he said, he couldn't keep working for no pay.
New Jersey: Medical Marijuana Program Struggling Under Rigid Rules, High CostsSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 06/16/2014 - 16:57
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
When New Jersey's medical marijuana law was being written and passed, it was often boasted that it was "the strictest in the nation," as if serving fewer patients was somehow something to brag about. Now, after initial predictions that the program could serve tens of thousands of patients, only 2,342 have signed up, a participation rate so small some worry about the future of the program.
Lawmakers, some dispensary operators and patients blame the low enrollment on New Jersey's strict rules, high costs for both patients and growers, and Governor Chris Christie's barely concealed hostility to the program, including his contention that he doesn't need to do anything to boost participation, reports Susan K. Livio at The Star-Ledger.
One major roadblock, according to almost everyone involved, is that so few physicians in New Jersey are willing to authorize patients for medical marijuana.
"We have a dysfunctional program, and I think it's going to take some sort of 'pot summit' bringing together patients, doctors and legislators to really make this a success," said Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer), one of the lead sponsors of the law.
New Jersey: Gov. Christie Says He Opposes Bill To Legalize MarijuanaSubmitted by steveelliott on Fri, 04/11/2014 - 16:28
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Wednesday emphasized that he is against any effort to legalize marijuana in the state, weeks after a state senator introduced a bill that would make sale and possession of cannabis legal.
"I'm not going to do that on my watch," the GOP governor told a crowd of about 500 at Winston Churchill Elementary School, reports Brent Johnson at The Star-Ledger. "I'm just not. I don't think it's the right thing to do for our state."
State Senator Nicholas Scutari (D-Union) last month introduced a bill that would regulate the cultivation, possession and sale of recreational marijuana, providing new tax revenue for the state.
"It's time to update our archaic drug laws and get real about the detrimental effects they are having on the lives of residents in New Jersey," Scutari said.
A Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press poll released on Wednesday showed that nearly 60 percent of New Jersey adults believe alcohol and tobacco are more risky than marijuana. But residents are still split on whether to legalize, with 48 percent in favor of allowing adults to buy small amounts, and 47 percent opposed.
Christie, who has his eye on the White House in 2016, has long said he is against relaxing the marijuana laws because that would "the wrong message" to kids.

President Barack Obama may have said this week that marijuana is no more harmful than alcohol, but the Republican Party appears determined not to be outflanked by the Democrats on the issue of cannabis law reform.
Rick Perry, Republican governor of Texas who ran for the presidency in 2012 and is widely expected to consider a run in 2016, repeatedly recognized state governments' right to legalize marijuana and touted his implementation of "policies that start us toward a decriminalization" in a drug policy reform panel at the World Economic Forum Thursday.
Perry joins New Jersey governor Chris Christie, another expected candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential primary, who also noted his commitment to drug policy reform this week, saying "We will end the failed war on drugs that believes that incarceration is the cure of every ill caused by drug abuse" in his second inaugural address Tuesday.

Embattled Governor, Fighting 'Bridgegate' Allegations, Calls for Alternatives to Incarceration and Expanded Drug Treatment
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
Governor Chris Christie on Tuesday took the oath of office for a second term and delivered his inaugural address at the War Memorial in Trenton. During his inaugural address he called for an end to the drug war and compassion for those suffering from drug addiction.
Drug policy reform advocates applauded the Governor's remarks, even as cynics derided Christie for what they called a desperate attempt to draw public attention away from the Bridgegate scandal, which is threatening to derail Christie's Presidential ambitions. Christie had been the front-runner for the GOP nomination for President until the scandal broke recently.
Christie's sudden conversion to Drug War reformer is particularly startling, coming as it does after four solid years of obstructionism and foot-dragging when it comes to New Jersey's medical marijuana program, signed into law by Christie's predecessor, Gov. Jon Corzine, on Corzine's last day in office. Many patients have been left in the lurch by Christie's neglect of, and active opposition to, the program.
New Jersey: Family Who Fought For Medical Marijuana For 2-Year-Old Daughter Moves To ColoradoSubmitted by steveelliott on Fri, 12/27/2013 - 21:44
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
After a long, hard battle for access to the medical marijuana which could help their 2-1/2-year-old daughter, Vivian, Brian and Meghan Wilson are finally giving up and moving to Colorado.
The family of the New Jersey toddler who became a symbol in a drive to change the state's medical marijuana laws this year is leaving the state to gain safe access for their child after Gov. Chris Christie gruffly refused to sign a bill which would have done so, saying "He's done" expanding medical access to cannabis in "his state."
The Wilsons say they're heading to Colorado because once there, they can buy an edible form of Charlotte's Web, a high-CBD strain of cannabis they believe will help Vivian with her severe epileptic seizures due to Dravet syndrome.
Vivian has a medical marijuana card (after getting the approval of three doctors) and is New Jersey's youngest registered patient. But all three dispensaries currently operating in the state only sell cannabis in smokable form, reports Jan Hefler at the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Wilsons were leaders in a successful push earlier this year for an initial expansion of New Jersey's medical marijuana law, allowing the sale of more medicinal cannabis strains and edible forms for minors in the state. But after that expansion still didn't result in access to the CBD oil Vivian needs, the Wilsons are calling it quits and moving.
New Jersey: Assembly Committee Votes To Expand Medical Marijuana Program AgainSubmitted by steveelliott on Fri, 12/13/2013 - 21:19
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
A New Jersey Assembly committee on Thursday voted to allow medical marijuana patients in the state to buy cannabis in other states.
The bill, A-4537, passed the Assembly Health Committee by a vote of 7-4 after a brief hearing, reports Susan K. Livio at The Star-Ledger. But Governor Chris Christie has already said he is "done expanding the medical marijuana program under any circumstances" when asked if he would sign the bill.
The bill would allow registered New Jersey medical marijuana patients to possess marijuana legally obtained from other states' programs. Patients registered with other state medical marijuana programs would have reciprocity, meaning they would also be allowed to use their medicine in New Jersey, according to the bill.
New Jersey patients would be required to buy forms of cannabis that conform to the state's medical marijuana requirements, and would not be allowed to exceed the amounts authorized by their doctor.
The idea for A-4537 came from Meghan and Brian Wilson of Scotch Plains, whose 2-1/2-year-old daughter Vivian is battling Dravet syndrome, a form of drug-resistant epilepsy which causes violent seizures. The Wilsons had hoped to be able to obtain the marijuana strain Charlotte's Web, which contains high levels of CBD, found to quell seizures. It is produced in edible form by a Colorado grower, and does not produce a "high."
New Jersey: Gov. Christie Refuses To Sign Bill Expanding Medical Marijuana ProgramSubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 12/03/2013 - 18:08
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Tuesday told reporters he is "not open" to expanding the state's medical marijuana law, claiming that such efforts are just a back door to legalizing cannabis for everyone.
"See, this is what happens," Gov. Christie said, reports Susan K. Livio at The Star-Ledger. "Every time you sign one expansion, then the advocates will come back and ask for another one," Christie said from his statehouse office Tuesday afternoon.
"Here's what the advocates want: They want legalization of marijuana in New Jersey," Gov. Christie said. "It will not happen on my watch, ever. I am done expanding the medical marijuana program under any circumstances. So we're done."
"What they want is legalization," Christie said. "They're not getting legalization under this governor."
The idea for the bill to expand New Jersey's medical marijuana program had come from Meghan and Brian Wilson of Scotch Plains, who had already waged a successful battle to loosen restrictions which kept their 2-1/2-year-old daughter, Vivian, from getting the forms of cannabis needed to relieve her severe epilepsy. The Wilsons had hoped they could grow a high-CBD strain of marijuana that has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in children.
New Jersey: Youngest Medical Marijuana Patient, 2, Finally Gets Her TurnSubmitted by steveelliott on Wed, 10/30/2013 - 21:57
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
New Jersey's youngest medical marijuana patient, two-and-a-half-year-old Vivian Wilson, left the Compassionate Care Foundation medicinal cannabis dispensary Monday in a stroller, holding a stuffed toy dog, with her parents Brian and Meghan Wilson of Scotch Plains.
It was a moment to remember for the dispensary, which finally opened on Monday, nearly four years after the state passed its medical marijuana law, reports Susan K. Livio at The Star-Ledger. It was perhaps an even more important moment for the Wilsons and for other families with critically ill children in New Jersey.
Monday marked the first time a New Jersey family was able to buy the form of marijuana that in other states has helped quell the severe seizures that have stunted Vivian Wilson's development, and could take her life. Vivian has a rare and dangerous form of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome, and conventional medicine just hasn't helped much.

The Department of Health Services (DHS) is making changes that will adversely affect your most vulnerable citizens. Their phasing out funding for prevocational services and day services at Curative Care Network, Eisenhower Center, Inc., Goodwill Industries of SE WI, Inc., and Milwaukee Center for Independence is tantamount to kicking the disabled fledglings out of the nest to fend for themselves. When they hit the ground they will be easy prey for the foxes and weasels of the world, because most of these people are innocents who are easily influenced.
The DHS ignores the fact that other states who did this saw prison populations increase. Ignores the fact that the jobs these challenged individuals do will be sent overseas and their coaches will be out of work and that their co-workers who are extended family will be scattered. Ignores the fact that they actually love their jobs and feel a sense of accomplishment, pride and self-worth. Ignores the fact that this is the first job many of these Wisconsin citizens have been able to hold. Oh, and totally ignores the fact that they have no plan for going forward. The actions of the DHS are based on assumptions such as employers providing "natural support" (mentors) out of the goodness of their hearts, and that working 2 hours a week constitutes a "job," and that parents will not have to leave the workforce to care for these individuals, and that transportation for them will magically be provided. The DHS is playing checkers with the lives of defenseless people.
I urge you to flood the office of the Governor with letters of support for funding for Curative Care Network, Eisenhower Center, Inc., Goodwill Industries of SE WI, Inc., and Milwaukee Center for Independence.

The 1st Time I Saw My Sister Nakedby_©
"What do you think?" she asked playfully.
"Delicious," I answered without hesitating.
She blushed, I think. She was already so flushed it was hard to tell.
"Maybe you'll find out sometime," she joked with me, mockingly suggesting what I desperately wanted.
"Maybe," was all I could say. God, she was so beautiful...
Almost reluctantly, she stood and pulled her bathrobe on, making to leave. I knew she had to, and I needed a shower now after all that. She hesitated before going to the door, and leaned forward to kiss me on the cheek. With a smile and a bounce to her walk, she left the bathroom and closed the door behind her. I breathed a very contented sigh and just stood there for a while before turning on the shower and getting in.
I couldn't wait to see what would happen next...

SUPER BOWL XXXII: NOTEBOOK; Surprised by Strategy
By BILL PENNINGTON
Published: January 27, 1998
Mike Shanahan said he was surprised to hear that the Packers allowed the Broncos to score the game-winning touchdown in the final two minutes, hoping to preserve time on the scoreboard clock for their own final drive.
''I thought it was just really good blocking by us,'' Shanahan said. ''But then I saw the highlight and realized what really happened. There are a lot of ways to look at that situation. But I'm not one to second-guess.''
Of Coach Mike Holmgren's decision to allow Denver to score intentionally, Paul Tagliabue said, ''I don't have any question whatsoever with what Mike Holmgren did.'' BILL PENNINGTON
